REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: OCTOBER 25, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING DUTIES
AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY CLERK
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council waive the second reading by title only and adopt an Ordinance establishing Chapter 2.09 pertaining to the City Clerk.
BACKGROUND:
In 2011, due to budget constraints, the City Council adopted an Ordinance transferring City Clerk responsibilities to the City Manager on an ex officio basis if so designated by the City Council. The City Council adopted a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the King City Confidential Employees Association (KCCEA) on June 14, 2022 and a new Classification Plan on June 28, 2022 reclassifying the Executive Assistant/Deputy City Clerk position to City Clerk. Subsequently, the City Manager appointed Erica Sonne to serve as City Clerk effective on July 2, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
When the change was made in 2011, the prior section in the Municipal Code outlining responsibilities of the City Clerk appears to have been deleted. The City Attorney has prepared an Ordinance attached for City Council consideration that will reinstitute provisions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the City Clerk. It is particularly important to ensure there is no ambiguity regarding oversight of the election process in case an election issue was to arise that required an official determination.
The City Council introduced the Ordinance at the October 11th meeting. It is recommended the City Council adopt the Ordinance at this time.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: OCTOBER 25, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF AGREEMENT WITH HANNA-BRUNETTI
FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council: 1) approve a contract services agreement with Hanna & Brunetti for ongoing as needed on-call survey and civil engineering services; and 2) authorize the City Manager to make minor non-substantive changes to the agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
Hanna-Brunetti provided engineering services to the City of King under contract for many years. The contract was terminated on September 13, 2022 due to the City’s creation of 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 Hanna-Brunetti to serve as the City Engineer were no longer needed.
DISCUSSION:
The City still has a need for survey work and miscellaneous engineering work.
The City has other on-call contracts with engineering firms, including survey.
However, more than one survey firm is needed for cases where the existing contract firm is employed by the applicant. In addition, there are engineering tasks Hanna-Brunetti can provide at lower cost since they have access to a lot of base map data. Therefore, a new contract with a reduced scope is proposed at this time.

Item No. 9 (G)
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: OCTOBER 25, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MIKE HOWARD, FINANCE DIRECTOR
RE: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE
PURCHASE OF THE TYLER TECHNOLOGIES FINANCIAL
SYSTEM UPGRADE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-4910, “A Resolution Approving the Purchase of the Tyler Technologies Financial System Upgrade and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement for the System Acquisition and Services in the Amount of $114,576.” BACKGROUND:
The City of King has used the Tyler Technologies financial reporting system called Fund Balance for more than three decades. Tyler Technologies is the leading provider of Financial Reporting System software to governmental entities such as cities, counties and school districts. The Fund Balance product is soon going to be reaching “End of Life”, meaning that it will be discontinued and no longer serviced by Tyler Technologies. This is a normal process in the evolution of software products.
Instead of waiting until the City receives formal notice, staff is recommending the City now replace the current financial reporting system with the newer product called ERP Pro 10 (formerly known as Incode 10) by Tyler Technologies. ERP Pro 10 was selected after reviewing the costs and features of a number of software options. This product is currently used by the City of Soledad and the City of Greenfield.
DISCUSSION:
Fund Balance has served the financial needs of the City for about three decades now, which is a very long lifecycle for a software system. As a result of being a
CITY COUNCIL

long-term client of Tyler Technologies, the City will be receiving a substantial discount of more than $46,000 of the actual system price.
With the new software suite of products, the City will be adding an electronic Time and Attendance module which will move our current paper system of keeping track of employee time to an automated online system. This will greatly reduce the time to process employee hours all the way through the payroll process. Additionally, employees will have an online “portal” where they will be able to manage items such as changing withholdings, reviewing benefits, as well as having an archive of pay stubs and W-2’s.
The new ERP Pro system will also have an enhanced budgeting module which will allow “budget notes” in the system. This feature will greatly assist department heads and staff to ensure that expenditures are recorded where they were budgeted. Currently, staff keeps a lot of “off system” notes to document where projects and expenditures are budgeted.
The newer ERP Pro 10 financial reporting system has a report writing system that is much more enhanced and powerful than what the current older Fund Balance system has. This will be helpful in extracting data for reporting an analyzing data.
By upgrading the financial system reporting software to the Tyler Technologies ERP Pro, this will move the City into the 21st Century of Financial Reporting Software.
COST ANALYSIS:
The cost of the financial system upgrade has been budgeted and planned for in the current Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget. The cost of the system upgrade will be allocated to the Sewer Enterprise Fund and General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The approval of the Tyler Technologies financial system upgrade is not considered a project for the purposes of CEQA and has no potential for resulting in either a direct or indirect impact to the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for Council consideration:
1. Adopt the Resolution;
2. Modify and adopt the Resolution;

RE: CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF KING AMENDING TITLE 12, CHAPTERS 12.04
AND 12.08 OF THE KING CITY MUNICIPAL CODE ADOPTING
THE 2022 CALIFORNIA BUILDING AND FIRE CODES
________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended City Council introduce an ordinance adopting the 2022 California Title 24 building and fire codes to be read by title only, open the hearing, allow for public testimony, close the hearing, waive first reading of the Ordinance, and approve the introduction of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) has published the latest (2022) editions of the Building and Fire codes for the State of California. They will become effective for every state agency and local municipality as of January 1, 2023. Cities and counties are mandated to adopt the State’s new construction codes every three years with or without local amendments. Amendments are permitted provided that they are not less restrictive than the State code.
Amendments to these codes must be supported by findings demonstrating that they are reasonably necessary to protect the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of King City due to local climatic, geological and topographical conditions.
DISCUSSION:
The new codes contain 12 parts that incorporate the latest national standards in the International Building, Residential, and Fire Codes, National Electrical Code, and the Uniform Mechanical and Plumbing Codes. The new CBSC gives high priority to maintaining elevated levels of fire and emergency safety standards throughout the state. Access to persons with disabilities remains a high priority

in California, and the standards include federal Department of Justice certification requirements, which ensure compliance with federal regulations. Additionally, the standards incorporate the latest seismic safety standards ensuring that buildings will be designed and constructed utilizing the latest technology to reduce loss in the event of an earthquake.
Key elements of the new codes include California’s ongoing commitment to being a leader in energy efficiency. Among these changes include the ability to now construct homes and business that are solely electric if equipped with a solar photovoltaic system. Other changes include making HVAC systems more energy efficient, and new requirements for non-residential.
In accordance with state law, local jurisdictions, through amendments, incorporate additional regulations that address special circumstances in the community, based on geographical, topographical or climatic conditions, provided said changes and modifications are not less restrictive than the State Codes. Amendments to the new CBSC must be adopted by the local jurisdiction and submitted to the State Building Standards Commission prior to enactment.
Accordingly, the city’s Building Official, upon evaluation of both the new CBSC and building code amendments currently in effect, is proposing a number of local amendments to the CBSC, most of which are the inclusion of the Appendix chapters of each model code. All of the amendments are supported by findings identified in the first part of the proposed ordinance.
The California Fire Code has been incorporated into the attached ordinance and is the source of the majority of proposed amendments. The City’s Fire Chief is recommending a number of local amendments to the model California Fire Code in order to maintain the high level of fire protection the City currently provides, including modified requirements for fire sprinklers in new commercial and residential occupancies, regulations for pallet storage and photovoltaic regulations to ensure fire fighter safety. Again, many of these amendments are being carried forward from the existing King City Fire Code or are being implemented to be consistent across jurisdictions in Monterey County. As a result, staff continues to believe it is important to maintain consistency in the area and recommends approval.
Supplemental appendix provisions recommended for adoption include the following:
1. California Building Code (CBC) Appendix Chapters H-Signs, I-Patio Covers & J-Grading.

Runoff Control—where concentrated runoff will occur, it will be carried in pipe or culvert conduits or over a non-erodible surface (paved, rocked, or vegetated) to catchment basins clearly shown on the development plan. All conduits must have proper energy dissipaters at the point of discharge when necessary to prevent erosion.
Building Site Runoff—Runoff from the building site shall be controlled by berms, swales, ditches, structures, vegetative filter strips and/or catch-basins to prevent the escape of sediment from the site. At least one percent (1%) grade will be required toward an improved storm drainage or catch-basin facility, either existing or planned.
Runoff Retention—Permanent holding of runoff on the site through percolation to the ground shall be required during and after construction, by the use of catchbasin, retention grading, pavement collection and recharge systems, and/or individual systems for housing units such as drywells or cisterns. 8 Topsoil—to promote regrowth of vegetation, the topsoil shall be stockpiled and reapplied upon completion of grading on slopes of less than 5:1 (20%) Soil Placement and Disposal—The placing or disposal of soil, silt or other organic and earthen materials from construction and other soil-disturbance activities at locations above the anticipated high-water line of any stream in the basin where they may be washed into said waters by rainfall or runoff in quantities deleterious to fish, wildlife and other beneficial uses, is prohibited.
Temporary Vegetation—Temporary vegetation sufficient to stabilize the soil as permanent vegetation cover is maturing shall be established on all disturbed areas as needed and as each stage of grading is completed.
Winter Operation— (October 15 to April 15
(1) Land disturbance or development operations may be restricted or temporarily halted between October 15 and April 15 (the normal rainy season) and/or other times whenever the city Building inspector determines that the weather, soil, slope and general site conditions may cause serious accelerated erosion or sediment damage either on-site or downstream.
When work is allowed, native ground cover shall not be cleared, destroyed, burned, or disturbed more than 15 days prior to grading or construction work unless approved in advance by the city building inspector. (2) When land development work is allowed during the normal rainy season, adequate erosion and sediment control measures including sediment catchbasins must be in place and effective during any land disturbance. (3) All cut and fill slopes without established vegetation between October 15 and April 15 shall be mulched. The mulching shall be anchored by punching or tacking into the soil or by the use of netting. A minimum of 1,000 pounds of straw, or equivalent, per each 10,000 square feet of slope surface will be required to be anchored. An additional amount may be required by the city building inspector.
(4) All erosion control plantings and mulching shall be closely monitored throughout the winter and runoff problems corrected promptly.
Dust—Dust from grading operations must be controlled. The permittee may be required to keep adequate equipment on the grading site to prevent dust problems.
Erosion Control Coordination with Project Installation. (1) All vegetative and/or structural measures required to safely discharge any accelerated run-off generated by the project shall be installed during the first or initial construction phase of the project.
(2) Land shall be developed in increments of workable size which can be completed in a single construction season. Erosion and sediment control measures shall be coordinated with a sequence of grading, development 9 and construction operations and all necessary erosion control measures shall be put in effect to the commencement of the next work increment and/or winter rainy season.
(3) Prior to completion and final acceptance of the project, all erosion control measures must be in place and all exposed base soil shall be mulched, fertilized and otherwise prepared so that it is planted to a permanent vegetative cover. The city building inspector may require watering of planted areas to initiate and assure growth.
Existing major Developments—as part of an expansion or intensification of existing major developments, silt and grease traps or sediment catch-basins shall be required.
Maintenance—all on-site erosion control facilities shall be properly maintained by the owners for the life of the project so that they do not become nuisances with stagnant water, heavy algae growth, insect breeding, odors, discarded debris, and/or safety hazards. Vegetative maintenance required may include mowing, fertilization, irrigation and/or reseeding.

SECTION 2. The City Council hereby finds and determines all the amendments, deletions, and additions to the California Building Standards Code and other codes are necessary due to the following:
Climatic - The City of King experiences periods of high temperatures accompanied by low humidity and high winds each year. The City also experiences periods of intense rainfall, which creates the need for special drainage precautions.
Local Geological Conditions – City of King is located in the Salinas Valley in southern Monterey County, which is in a populated area having buildings constructed near a vast array of fault systems capable of producing major earthquakes. A severe seismic event could cause wide-spread damage, disrupt communications, damage gas mains, cause extensive electrical hazards, and place extreme demands on the limited and widely dispersed resources of rescue and fire-fighting resources resulting in failure to meet the fire and life safety needs of the community.
Local Topographical Conditions – The City of King being located adjacent to open vegetated areas subject to consistently high winds and potential fires, necessitates the amendments hereby adopted to address and clarify special needs to reduce fire hazard at the time of any disaster, natural or manmade, and to reduce hazards resulting from landslides, excessive erosion, and/or flooding.
SECTION 3. It is the intent of this ordinance to amend the King City Municipal Code. If the above amendment did not fully effectuate that intent, Council herby directs the City clerk to make any other such changes to the language 24 in the King City Municipal Code as necessary to effectuate the intent of this Ordinance. Such changes shall be considered clerical.
SECTION 4. All ordinance and parts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
This ordinance will become effective on January 1st, 2023.
SECTION 5. If any provision(s) of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect any other provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, parts or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 6. This Ordinance shall take effect on January 1, 2023, and be in full force and effect from and after thirty (30) calendar days after its final passage and adoption. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after its adoption, the Ordinance, or a summary of the Ordinance, shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Ordinance was introduced by the City Council after waiving reading, except by Title, at a regular meeting thereof held on the 25th day of October, 2022, and adopted the Ordinance after the second reading at a regular meeting held on the 8th day of November, 2022, by the following roll call vote:

BACKGROUND:
The Clean California program was established by the State in 2021, which appropriated over $1 billion to clean and beautify public spaces in underserved communities. It included a local grant program and the State beautification program. King City was selected for the State beautification program, which is intended to improve the aesthetics of public spaces with transformative beautification projects along the state highway system.
Staff has been coordinating with Caltrans representatives on the design of the project for several months. Their landscape designers will make a presentation on the project proposal to City Council at the October 25th meeting and request authorization to proceed.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed project includes the following features:
• Paint the soundwall along Highway 101 in front of the mobile home park and seal with anti-graffiti coating;
• Add tree, shrub and groundcover landscaping to the area in front of the soundwall along Highway 101;
• Landscaping at the Canal Street on and offramps;
