REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 2023
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.

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
FEBRUARY 14, 2023
PAGE 2 OF 5
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 5
The findings were last approved by the City Council at the January 24, 2023 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:

FEBRUARY 14, 2023
PAGE 4 OF 5
• If a member is exposed to COVID-19 and choses to participate virtually in order to limit the risk of exposing others;
• An increase in cases cause a change in restrictions that may require virtual attendance or make it preferable if masks were required; and • Other circumstances that may make it feasible to attend a meeting virtually when in-person attendance is not possible.
The City Attorney has drafted the attached Resolution, which will enable the City to maintain virtual attendance by Council, board and commission members at meetings if approved by a majority of the Council.
The Governor has announced that the COVID-19 State of Emergency will end on February 28, 2023. Therefore, beginning in March, the rules governing Council meetings will return to the original Brown Act provisions. As a result, unless the Governor reconsiders extending the State of Emergency, this will be the last extension and Council Members will only be able to attend Council meetings remotely under restricted circumstances beginning the first meeting in March.
COST ANALYSIS:
There are no anticipated costs for this action.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This action 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 are provided for City Council consideration:
1. Adopt the Resolution
2. Modify and adopt the Resolution;

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 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) March 1, 2023, 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.

Item No. 9 (E)
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE
AGREEMENT FOR TEMPORARY USE OF CITY PROPERTY
FOR FOOD TRUCK
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council: 1) approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a First Amendment to the Lease Agreement with R Truck, Inc. for temporary use of the City’s property at 332 Broadway Street for operation of a food truck; and 2) authorize the City Manager to make other non-substantive modifications to the Lease Agreement, if necessary, in a form approved by the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
At the September 27, 2022, meeting, the City Council approved a Lease Agreement with R Truck, Inc. to locate a food truck at the City vacant lot at the northeast corner of Broadway Street and Vanderhurst Avenue on a temporary basis. The food truck is owned and operated by the owners of Luigi’s and Pastabilities’ restaurants.
The City has been meeting with the owners for several months as part of efforts to attract new restaurants to the downtown area. The purpose of the food truck was to test the market in hopes it would lead to them leasing or purchasing a building for a “brick and mortar” restaurant on a long-term basis. The lease is for use of the lot Thursdays through Saturdays, 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. through February 15, 2023.

Item No. 9 (F)
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF SERVER ROOM EXPANSION AND
RELOCATION PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council: 1) approve the proposed City server room expansion and relocation project and authorize the City Manager to approve the City’s IT consultant to perform the work; 2) appropriate $85,000 for the project from the Police Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund; and 3) adopt a finding of a Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.
BACKGROUND:
The servers for the City’s computer system are currently housed in a small room in the Police Station. Other connected and related equipment are located in the basement of City Hall. As the City has expanded its technology capabilities and systems, servers necessary to house the software and data have been added.
At this time, there are deficiencies with the current room, which is cause for concern given the amount of investment in the equipment and the importance of keeping the equipment in operation at all times. As a result, it is proposed to move and expand the server room.
DISCUSSION:
A number of issues exist with the current server room and connections. First, the room is too small, which makes it difficult for technicians to make necessary repairs and adjustments when needed. Second, since the room is too small, it has been difficult to maintain the room properly cooled and ventilated to ensure the equipment does not overheat. Third, the City Hall basement is not an ideal location for housing the other connected equipment since it is not readily accessible and is dusty.

CONSIDERATION OF SERVER ROOM EXPANSION AND RELOCATION
PROJECT
FEBRUARY 14, 2023
PAGE 2 OF 3
Several years ago, the City Council approved elimination of use of the jail in the Police Station. Therefore, this space is available for reuse. It has been determined it could provide an optimal storage area for the computer servers due to size, climate control and security. It would also allow some of the equipment from the City Hall basement to be relocated in the same room as the servers.
Alvarez Technology Group, the City’s IT consultants, has prepared an evaluation, design of the room and cost estimate. In October, the current servers will become obsolete and no longer maintained. Staff will be preparing recommendations in the near future on how to fund and replace the servers.
Therefore, staff recommends proceeding with the server room project now in order to prepare it in time to house installation of the new equipment before the existing equipment expires.
COST ANALYSIS:
The cost estimate received from Alvarez Technology Group is $83,098.
Sufficient funding is available in the Police Facility Development Impact Fee Fund. Since the need for the project is caused by the expansion of technology to accommodate services to address the needs of the growing population, staff believes this project is eligible for the expenditure of these funds. Therefore, there will be no impact to the City’s General Fund from the proposed action.
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 CEQA Guidelines, section 15301 as this project is a minor alteration of the existing structure, and while the server room will be expanded, it will not expand the overall building or existing uses. 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 City Council consideration:
1. Approve staff’s recommendations;
2. Direct staff to pursue cost reductions by relocating the server room, but eliminate relocation of equipment from City Hall;
3. Direct staff to bid the project separately from the City’s IT consultant contract;

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF NEW LEASE AGREEMENT FOR CITYOWNED HOUSE AT 424 PEARL STREET RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council: 1) approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a new lease for the City-owned property at 424 Pearl Street; and 2) authorize the City Manager to make non-substantive modifications to the Lease Agreement if necessary in a form approved by the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
In 2009, the City Council approved a lease with the existing tenants for the house located at 424 Pearl Street. The property had formerly been acquired and used for City offices, but was no longer needed when staff and program reductions were implemented.
The rent was last increased and the lease agreement updated in 2017. The current rent amount is $1,450 per month, which has fallen behind the market. It is important for the City to charge market rates for leases in order to avoid problems of the lease being considered a gift of public funds. Therefore, an increase is recommended at this time.
DISCUSSION:
It is proposed to reach market rates by increasing rent on a gradual basis to avoid a difficult one-time financial impact on the tenants. The new proposed lease amount is $1,500 per month. An updated lease agreement with the new proposed rent is attached for Council consideration. It would become effective on April 1, 2023.

RE: CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF MODIFIED TIME AND
MATERIALS CONTRACT FOR THE KING CITY VISITOR AND
HISTORY CENTER REMODEL PROJECT, INCLUDING
ADOPTING FINDING OF A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
PURSUANT TO SECTION 15301 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council: 1) award a modified time and materials contract for the Visitor and History Center Remodel Project to the low bidder Two Team Construction in the amount not to exceed $80,000; 2) authorize the City Manager to approve change orders up to 35%; 3) appropriate an additional $50,000 for the project from a grant received from T-Mobile; and 4) adopt a finding of a Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.
BACKGROUND:
In 2017, the City Council approved a draft Downtown Streetscape Conceptual Plan, which included a proposal to create a downtown plaza on the property at the northeast corner of Broadway Street and Vanderhurst Avenue. At the February 13, 2018 meeting, the City Council approved a purchase and sale agreement to acquire the property. At the April 9, 2019 meeting, the City Council then approved a contract with RRM Design Group to prepare conceptual design for the downtown plaza project. The results were presented at the September 10, 2019 meeting and a preferred design option was approved by the City Council.
The property includes three parcels. The downtown plaza is proposed to be constructed on the front two parcels. Demolition of the front building has been completed. Staff proposed to convert the rear building at 110 N. Vanderhurst

Avenue to a Visitor and History Center. A number of planning meetings have been held with representatives of the Chamber of Commerce & Agriculture and local historians John and Karen Jernigan to plan the design for the facility. In July 2022, the City entered into a lease with the Chamber of Commerce to operate the facility. The Jernigans have agreed to coordinate the historical displays and archives.
At the February 22, 2022 meeting, the City Council approved a contract with Reiss Design Studio, PC for on-call as needed architectural services, which included design of the Visitor and History Center. The architect facilitated additional meetings with the stakeholders in preparation of the final design. The proposed exterior is presented below:
Improvement Plans and Specifications were put out to bid for the project, which consists of remodeling the existing 1100 SF historical building. The remodel will include a new interior layout, new mechanical system, and modifications to the exterior elevations to bring back the historical character of the original building.
The City received the following bids:

Contractor Base bid
Staples Construction $794,500.00
Two Team Construction $537,606.00
DISCUSSION:
The project bids unfortunately came in substantially over the budgeted amount for this project. The existing building is in poor condition and will require gutting the building down to the existing structural wall and ceiling. After meeting with the apparent low bidder, it was determined that bids reflected the level of uncertaincies of existing conditions.
As a result, it is staff’s recommendation to move forward with a modified contract with a not to exceed clause to proceed with the first phases of the project. Work would be limited to interior demolition and rough carpentry of the new interior layout. Remaining work will then be completed in steps after evaluating the most cost effective approach to each task. This will allow subconsultants to provide more competitive bids and reduce the cost of construction.
Staff recommends the City Council award a modified time and materials contract for the Visitor and History Center Remodel Project to the low bidder, Two Team Construction, in the amount not to exceed $80,000 and authorize the City Manager to approve change orders up to 35%.
COST ANALYSIS:
The City recently received a grant from T-Mobile in the amount of $50,000 for this project. The remaining costs will be funded from development impact fees included in the FY 2021-22/FY 2022-23 Biennial Budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment of this project and has determined that if it falls within the Categorical Exemption set forth in Section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines because the contract is for remodel of an existing facility that will not expand the building or use. 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.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
ROY C. SANTOS, CITY ATTORNEY
RE: CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES FOR FILLING
COUNCILMEMBER VACANCY IN DISTRICT 1
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council: 1) consider whether to fill the vacancy in Council District 1 by appointment or by a special election; 2) if Council chooses to fill by appointment, approve a Resolution adopting a process for filling the vacancy; or 3) if Council chooses to fill by election, direct staff to present a Resolution calling an election to the Council at the next meeting.
BACKGROUND:
Council Member Acosta has submitted her resignation from the City Council effective on February 14, 2023, which now creates a vacancy for the City Council District 1 seat. A copy of the resignation letter is attached. Under State law, the City Council must either call a special election or fill the vacancy by appointment before Saturday, April 15, 2023, (which is within 60 days of the vacancy). The successor councilmember may serve until the expiration of Councilmember Acosta’s term, which is December 2026. The person appointed or elected must be a resident of District 1, a registered voter, and a United States citizen 18 years of age or older. To meet this timeline, staff is presenting alternatives and requesting City Council to provide direction on how to proceed.
DISCUSSION
Election Process
If the Council chooses to fill the vacancy by election, the Council must adopt a Resolution by April 15, 2023, calling for a special election at the next regularly established election 01222.0001/856956.

date not less than 114 days from the call of the election. That date is June 8, 2023. The City Council seat would remain vacant until that time.
Appointment Process
If the Council chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment, the attached Resolution provides an appointment process. The process requires posting of the vacancy with an invitation from residents of District 1 to submit an application. Applications for appointment will be considered at a regular or special meeting of the City Council. Applicants will have an opportunity to address the Council and the public will have an opportunity to comment.
The Resolution proposes a submission deadline of March 10, 2023 for applications. This deadline will allow for posting of the vacancy and application process on the City website and for publication in the newspaper. The Council can then consider the received applications at the March 14, 2023 City Council regular meeting or at a special meeting.
The Council may choose an alternate submission deadline and schedule special meetings as needed to accommodate the appointment process and ensure appointment is made before April 15, 2023.
The City Council may also direct staff to coordinate other steps involved in promoting and/or considering applications. Some examples include the following:
• Hold a public forum or debate where the public may ask candidates questions; • Hold a special City Council meeting, request each applicant to make a statement, Council ask questions to each applicant, and then offer the public an opportunity to present questions;
• Develop a rating or ranking system for City Council to evaluate candidates prior to voting on a selection; and/or
• Appoint a citizen committee to provide recommendations.
Legal Requirements for Filling a Vacancy
Government Code section 36512(b) addresses the options available to the City Council to fill a vacancy on the City Council and reads:
If a vacancy occurs in an elective office, the council shall, within 60 days of the commencement of the vacancy, either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy.
1. Special Election
Government Code section 36512(b) (1) reads:
01222.0001/856956.
CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES FOR FILLING COUNCILMEMBER VACANCY IN DISTRICT 1
FEBRUARY 14, 2023
PAGE 3 OF 5
If the Council calls a special election, the special election shall be held on the next regularly established election date not less than 114 days from the call of the special election. A person elected to fill a vacancy holds office for the unexpired term of the former incumbent. (emphasis added).
SB 970 was recently enacted and is effective January 1, 2021. SB 970 has amended Election Code section 1000 to read as follows:
(a) The first Tuesday after the first Monday in March of each even-numbered year that is evenly divisible by four. [next one is March 5, 2024] (b) The first Tuesday after the first Monday in March of each odd-numbered year. [next one is March 2, 2021]
(c) The second Tuesday of April in each even-numbered year. [next one is April 12, 2022]
(d) The first Tuesday after the first Monday in June in each even-numbered year that is not evenly divisible by four. [next one is June 7, 2022] (e) The first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each year. [next one is November 2, 2021]
If the vacancy occurs on February 14, 2023, then 114 days from that date is June 8, 2023.
However, in order to meet the language in Elections Code Section 36512 (b) (1) regarding “not less than 114 days after the vacancy date” means that a special election may not occur before that date.
2. Appointment
There is no prescribed process in the Government Code regulating how an appointment to the City Council is to be made. The process is a matter of City Council discretion. Attached is a Resolution establishing an appointment process similar to the current process for appointments to City boards and commissions. Certain blanks will be filled in depending on when Council wishes to have this matter brought back to the Council.
If someone were appointed to the position, then that person would only hold office for the remainder of the current term for District 1.
In order to be eligible to be considered for appointment, any applicant must be a resident of District 1, a registered voter, and a United States citizen 18 years of age or older. (Government Code section 36502; Elections Code section 321) 01222.0001/856956.

PAGE 4 OF 5
COST ANALYSIS:
According to the Monterey County Elections Office, if the election is held as a stand-alone special election that includes poll places and vote by mail, the estimated cost range is $14 to $20 per registered voter. If the election is held as a stand-alone mail ballot election, the estimated range is $12 to $18 per registered voter. There are currently 1,051 registered voters in District 1. Therefore, the estimated cost would be somewhere between $12,000 to $21,000 depending upon the process. The appointment process would cost less than $500 for publishing and posting.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The ordinance is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. Most of the terms and scope of city discretion are guided by existing State and Federal law. The ordinance does not authorize any specific development or installation on any specific piece of property within the City’s boundaries. Alternatively, the ordinance is exempt from CEQA because the City Council’s adoption of the ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3)).
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct staff to prepare a Resolution to call for a special election;
2. Adopt the Resolution to establish an appointment process;
3. Adopt the Resolution to establish an appointment process with a later due date for applications to provide more time to solicit applicants;
4. Amend and adopt the Resolution to establish an appointment process;
5. Adopt the Resolution to establish an appointment process and provide additional direction regarding steps to advertise and consider applicants;
6. Postpone the decision until the February 28th meeting to obtain additional public input; or
7. Provide staff other direction.
