Item No. 9(D)

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: APRIL 11, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF SIDE LETTER OF AGREEMENT WITH

THE KING CITY CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION

AND THE SERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION
LOCAL 521
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council 1) approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Second Side Letter of Agreement with the King City Confidential Employees Association (KCCEA) to amend provisions regarding bereavement leave in their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025; and 2) approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Second Side Letter of Agreement with the Service Employees International Union Local 521 (SEIU) to amend provisions regarding bereavement leave in their MOU and adjust the pay rate for the Code Enforcement Officer position for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025; and 3) adopt a Resolution updating the Classification Plan to reflect the salary range change.

BACKGROUND:

The current MOUs with KCCEA and SEIU took effect on July 1, 2022 and expire on June 30, 2025. An error was recently discovered regarding language in the bereavement leave provisions, which staff recommends be corrected. In addition, it is proposed to make an adjustment to the salary rate for the Code Enforcement Officer position. As a result, the recommended changes have been agreed to by the union and association representatives and a Second Side Letter of Agreement is being presented for City Council consideration.

CITY COUNCIL

CONSIDERATION OF SIDE LETTER OF AGREEMENT WITH THE KING CITY

CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION AND THE SERVICE
EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION LOCAL 521
APRIL 11, 2023
PAGE 2 OF 3
DISCUSSION:

Up to 5 days of bereavement leave is provided to employees when they experience the death of a family member. The MOUs include a definition of family for the purposes of the bereavement leave provision. It was recently discovered the definition of family for the Police Sergeants Association (PSA) and Police Officers Association (POA) include grandparents but not the agreements with the KCCEA and SEIU. Therefore, it is proposed to amend the language to add grandparents.

In addition, the City has had trouble finding qualified applicants for a vacant Code Enforcement Officer position. This is an important position because code enforcement has been identified as a high priority of the community based on survey results and calls received from local residents. A salary survey showed the bottom step rate to be slightly below the median when compared to other South Monterey County cities. It is recommended to increase the salary rate by 5%. This will bring the entry level rate to half-way between the salaries in Greenfield and Soledad and the top step to slightly above both. Combined with other recruitment strategies under development, staff believes this will help improve the results of the hiring process.

COST ANALYSIS:

The change will result in a cost increase of approximately $3,500 to $4,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Labor agreements 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 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 the Side Letter of Agreement;

2. Direct staff to pursue additional changes to the MOU;

3. Do not approve amending the MOU; or

4. Provide staff other direction.

FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR

MONTEREY COUNTY MASTER FUNDING AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Master Funding Agreement with the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC).

BACKGROUND:

The Transportation Agency Master Funding Agreement memorializes conditions and requirements for local agencies to use state funds passed through by TAMC.

Each agency receiving Regional Surface Transportation Program, Regional Development Impact Fee, and Transportation Development Act 2% funds will be required to enter into a Master Agreement. The Master Agreements are in effect for a period of three years and are updated with each new cycle of the Regional Surface Transportation Program to incorporate any new provisions. The current funding agreement between TAMC and the City is set to expire, and a new agreement will need to be executed before reimbursements can be approved.

DISCUSSION:

TAMC has provided the City with the new Master Funding Agreement for signature, which is attached. They have requested the Agreement be approved by June 1, 2023. Staff has reviewed it and recommends approval. State transportation funding is critical for the City’s street improvement and other infrastructure and transportation projects.

WHEREAS, TAMC is authorized to use these exchanged funds (hereinafter referred to as “RSTP Exchange Funds”) to assist local agencies to promote projects which otherwise qualify for STBGP funds; and
WHEREAS, as authorized by Chapter 2, Title 21, Rule 6640 of the Transportation Development Act, one of the duties of TAMC is to administer the provisions of the Transportation Development Act in apportioning Local Transportation Funds (LTF) for the Transportation Development Act 2% (TDA 2%) program for bicycle and pedestrian projects pursuant to Article 3 of that law, and to the Cities, County, and Monterey-Salinas Transit; WHEREAS, as authorized by the Joint Powers Agreement for the Monterey County Regional Development Impact Fee Agency, TAMC is designated to administer and allocate regional development impact fee revenues (RDIF) to projects identified in the approved Strategic Expenditure Plan; and

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: APRIL 11, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF SUPPORT FOR SB 524, SB 621 AND SB
870
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council authorize the Mayor to send letters of support for SB 524, SB 621 and SB 870.

BACKGROUND:

The City recently received a request from Senator Caballero’s Office for letters of support for three State health bills the Senator has introduced. They include Senate Bill 524 - Pharmacy Practice: Test-to-Treat, SB 621 - Reducing Prescription Drug Prices for California Patients Act and SB 870 - Hospital Closure Prevention Act. These bills were referred to Committee on March 29th.

Staff recommends letters of support be approved and submitted.

DISCUSSION:

SB 524 gives pharmacists authority to provide direct treatment for patients following certain positive test results. SB 621 increases patient access to certain low-cost medications that are just as effective as brand-named drugs. SB 870 will leverage the Managed Care Organization (MCO) tax as a tool to help stabilize the healthcare system in the State of California.

All these bills will serve to improve healthcare accessibility in rural California and reduce financial strains on hospitals. Since they all involve healthcare, staff contacted Mee Memorial Hospital and confirmed that they support the proposed legislation.

RE: CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF BID FOR THE KING CITY
DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE PROJECT – INTERSECTION

IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended City Council: 1) award the base bid for the King City Downtown Streetscape Project – Intersection Improvements as proposed by the low bidder, Monterey Peninsula Engineering in the amount of $3,882,454.00; 2) authorize the City Manager to approve change orders not to exceed ten percent; 3) appropriate $275,000 from the General Fund unappropriated fund balance for the project; 4) acknowledge the error in the Additive Alternate A made by the low bidder; and 5) adopt findings of a Categorical Exemption, pursuant to section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines and NEPA Categorical Exclusion, subject to section 58.5 (pursuant to 24 CRF 58.35 (a)(1).

BACKGROUND:

In 2017 the City Council approved the Downtown Streetscape Plan, which was prepared under contract by RRM Design Group following a number of public workshops and community participation efforts. The purpose of the plan is to revitalize the downtown area, create a more pedestrian and activity oriented downtown, and promote business and job development. Since that time, the City has been working on obtaining the funding needed to construct the improvements and implementing the plan in phases. Thus far, new streetlights, decorative planters, and trash and recycling receptacles have been installed.

The City has also implemented a façade enhancement grant program. However, the most significant measures still need to be completed.

In 2022, the City Council also approved an expenditure plan for American Rescue Plan (ARPA) funds, which allocated $2,000,000 for this project.

Therefore, a funding plan is now in place. The City contracted with Kimley Horn Associates to prepare the final design and specifications. The request for bids was issued, bids were received within the funding plan, and the project is ready to proceed. Staff is now recommending the City Council award the bid.

DISCUSSION:

The project being recommended for award consists of constructing new bulbouts on Broadway Street at the Second Street, Third Street, Vanderhurst Avenue and Russ Street intersections; redesign and construction of the medians to replace pavement with native landscaping and wind sculptures; and installation of decorative crosswalk markings. The contract will include furnishing of all labor, materials, tools, and equipment required for the work herein proposed.

In general, the proposed bulbout construction shall include, but is not limited to:
• Demolition of existing site improvements, including flatwork, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, existing utilities, and select trees. • Construction of 4 intersections with curb extensions and site-built features, including pavement, seat walls, site furnishings, landscaping and infiltration wells, and other miscellaneous minor improvements, including all appurtenant work related to a project of this type per the locations shown on the 2023 King City Streetscape Plan - Intersection Improvements Project Plans.
• Site utilities, including storm drain, sewer, and electrical. • New irrigation system including new point of connection/water service.

CITY COUNCIL

CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE KING CITY
DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE PROJECT – INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS

The City received the following bids:

Contractor Base Bid Additive Alt A Total
Precision $4,578,871.00 $1,064,810.00 $5,643,681.00
MPE $3,882,454.00 $491,766.00 $4,374,220.00
The Additive Alternate A of the bids consists of the bulbout and crosswalk improvements proposed at the Broadway Street and San Lorenzo Avenue intersection, which is being proposed as a second phase because sufficient funding does not currently exist for those improvements. It was included in the bid specifications because a grant application was pending at the time the request for bids was issued. However, the City has been notified that the grant application was not awarded. Therefore, the award for this project is based on the Total Bid (Base Bid Total + Additive Alternate A Total). Under the terms of the contract, the City is only committing to the Base Bid amount at this time.

The award will be made by the City on the basis that the proposal from the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in the City's sole and absolute judgment will best serve the interest of the City. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals and to waive any informalities and irregularities in said proposals or take such other action as best serves the City's interests.

During the review of the bids, it was brought to staff’s attention that the apparent low bidder modified the Bid Alternate bid sheet in error. Although the City is not proposing to award the Additive Alternate A at this time, for clarity of the record, staff would like to acknowledge the error. Since the City is not proposing to award the Additive Alternate A, the error is immaterial.

Staff also researched the past experience of the low bidder. The low bidder has performed various street projects and park improvement projects such as the parking lot and landscaping areas of City Park and the Recreation/Pool building.

As a result, staff has determined it is a responsive bid and recommends award of the bid at this time. Work on constructing the wind sculptures will be contracted separately and is not included in this contract.

At this time, staff is recommending awarding the Base Bid to the lower bidder, Monterey Peninsula Engineering. Bids are attached.

COST ANALYSIS:

The total potential cost of the project is estimated to be the following:

Low Bid $3,882,454
Project Management (8%) $310,596
Contingency $388,245
Total $4,581,295
The funding plan includes the following sources:

TAMC $90,000
RSTP $950,000
Federal Community Project Funding $1,000,000
ARPA Funds $2,025,000
TAMC Measure X Funds $241,295
General Fund $275,000
Total $4,581,295
Due to savings in other areas, staff is recommending allocating an additional $25,000 that is available in ARPA funds. In addition, staff is recommending an appropriation of $275,000 from the General Fund unappropriated fund balance to cover the cost of project management, which will include construction inspection services, assistance on change orders and requests for information by the engineering design firm, and soils/geotechnical testing. Utilizing a portion of TAMC Measure X Funds will reduce funding normally allocated to street improvements for this year, but it is an eligible project and will reduce the financial impact on the General Fund.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The project was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). The project qualifies for a CEQA Class 1, Section 15301 (c) Categorical Exemption and Class 2, Section 15302 (c) because it consists of minor alterations to existing streets, sidewalks, and public facilities and there is no expansion of use beyond

Re: King City Downtown Streetscape project
Octavio,
As discussed in our last conversation, on the above referenced project we entered erroneous unit prices into the Alternate A bid schedule resulting in a significant material error on that item of work.

As stated in the project specifications:

The basis of award shall be based on the Total Bid (Base Bid Total + Additive Alternate A Total).

King City may award the base bid of the base bid and Additive Alternate A. Additive Alternate A may be awarded at any time during the contract. Additive Alternate A is for the San Lorenzo intersection improvements.

The nature of the error involves the entry of bid items for the Additive Alternate A.

Unbeknownst to the estimating team, the bid delivery clerk entered “unrounded” unit pricing on the alternate bid schedule prior to departing the office to deliver the bid. To correct this the office estimating team was to send an image of the bid schedule showing “rounded” unit prices for the alternate schedule via text. Unfortunately, they instead texted an image of a preliminary budget version of the alternate bid schedule that was populated with significantly lower unit prices (than our final pricing). This resulted in a $192,881.59 underbid of the alternate work.

Let me know if you need more information or further elaboration.

EXHIBIT 3
If the City intends to award Alternate A now (or in the future) we must request relief from our proposal pursuant to applicable public contract code. Otherwise, we look forward to the award of the base bid for this project.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this situation causes.

RE: CONSIDERATION OF CITYWIDE PARKWAY/PARKING STRIP

BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT INCLUDING ADOPTING A

FINDING OF A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION, PURSUANT TO
SECTION 15304 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council: 1) approve the King City Parkway/Parking Strip Beautification Project; 2) adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit a Clean California Local Grant Program application and to execute all necessary documents on behalf of the City if the grant is approved; and 3) adopt a Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15304 of the CEQA Guidelines.

BACKGROUND:

The Clean California Local Grant Program is administered by Caltrans and provides funding to local communities to beautify and improve local streets and roads. The goals of the program are to reduce waste and debris in public rightof-way; implement measures to beautify public spaces and mitigate the heat island effect; enhance public health, connection and community placemaking for walking and recreation; and advance equity for underserved communities.

Applications are due on April 28th.

The City applied for the last round of grants in 2022 for the City’s Downtown Streetscape Project but was not successful. Another round of the program is being offered this year. Staff has prepared recommendations for another project based on what was determined to meet all the objectives of the grant guidelines and is intended to have the greatest impact on beautifying the entire community.

In preparing the recommends, staff relied on community input gained through the Downtown Streetscape Project workshops, meetings with King City in Bloom, a public workshop held prior to the 2022 application was submitted, work of the

Public Art Selection Committee, and a public workshop held on April 3rd to review the proposed project and solicit public input. All input received was positive.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed project consists of comprehensive improvements that interrelate with each other and will compliment other City projects to dramatically beautify the street frontage throughout a major portion of the community. Five key components are proposed, which include: 1) renovating the parkways/parking strips throughout residential neighborhoods; 2) planting 132 new street trees in parkways/parking strips where trees are currently missing; 3) adding and/or replacing 19 new combination refuse/recycling receptacles along commercial streets and public parks; 4) installing of corner bulbouts and decorative crosswalks at the Broadway Street/San Lorenzo Avenue intersection to complete the City’s downtown streetscape project; and 5) commissioning and installing 3 new wind sculptures (kinetic art) on Broadway Street.

Parkway/Parking Strip Improvements
One of the most appealing features of King City is the tree lined trees with sidewalks and landscaped parking strips. However, over time they have deteriorated and are no longer adequately maintained by most property owners.

As a result, the majority now consist of either dirt and/or weeds. This has caused one of the community’s most attractive features to become unsightly and a liability.

Below are pictures of the typical appearance.

Staff recommends the project include requesting grant funds to improve these parking strips throughout the community. The area targeted would be King Street to the north, Mildred Avenue to the west, Division Street to the south and Second Street to the East. Only areas that have a natural surface would be included. No improvements are proposed to properties where the parking strip area has been filled in with concrete or brick. Based on a drive-by survey, staff estimates the frontage of roughly 600 properties would be improved.

An improvement plan has been designed with the intent of creating a “clean’ attractive appearance, a consistent design throughout each neighborhood, and low maintenance requirements to minimize dependence on property owners to maintain the improvements on a long-term basis. Two alternative designs are proposed, which are relatively simple. For the majority of spaces where there is no existing irrigation, it is recommended to install high quality weed barrier, stamped decomposed granite (“DG”) and two steps for people exiting their vehicle to cross to the sidewalk. For those areas that have irrigation and are currently maintained, the property owner would have the option of leaving it as is or to accept the improvements, which would be the same as the other spaces with the addition of some low-maintenance drought tolerant plants.

The following pictures show an example of an existing property and then a rendering of the same property with both alternatives for the improvements:

Street Trees
A number of street trees have been either removed or have died over time. It is proposed to plant new trees at all spaces where they are missing except for those locations where they are not allowed by PG&E. It is proposed to plant a total of 132 new trees. Given the volume of trees proposed, staff believes this

would be a good opportunity to diversify the City’s urban forest and generate more color along the streets in residential neighborhoods.

Three trees have been selected from the City’s street tree list to provide as options. They include the London Plane, Crepe Myrtle, and Chinese Pistache. It is recommended to provide each property owner the opportunity to select the tree they prefer. The London Plane is a type of Sycamore, but does not grow as large as the existing species planted throughout the community. Therefore, the London Plane is recommended in areas where it is desired to maintain a consistent look on the entire block. The Crepe Myrtle is a smaller flowering tree.

The Chinese Pistache is also smaller and provides colorful fall leaves. All three trees are known to withstand wind.

London Plane Crepe Myrtle Chinese Pistache
Downtown Bulbouts and Crosswalks
The City is moving forward with construction of the Downtown Streetscape Project. However, the Broadway Street/San Lorenzo Avenue intersection improvements have been identified as a second phase because funding is not available at this time to complete that portion of the project. Therefore, these improvements are proposed as part of the Clean California Local Grant application.

The improvements include bulbouts on all four corners, landscaping, trees, benches, bike racks and trash and recycling receptacles. The design is consistent with the other intersections on Broadway Street in the downtown area.

The unique aspect of this intersection is that no bulbouts currently exist, so it will represent a significant upgrade in appearance and pedestrian safety. Since this intersection has been identified as the entrance to the downtown area, it represents an important part of the overall project.

Below is a rendering of the proposed improvements:

Trash and Recycling Receptacles
One of the goals of the program is to reduce trash, litter and debris. King City has an ongoing litter program because waste containers overflow and then the winds quickly spread the trash throughout the community. This project will help address this by significantly expanding the trash and recycling receptacle capacity on public property at key locations. The project will provide 19 new combined refuse and recycling receptacles.

First, there are currently 8 old worn out undersized sets of 20-gallon receptacles on Broadway Street from San Lorenzo Avenue to San Antonio Drive. These receptacles will be replaced with new, sturdy, and more attractive 32-gallon containers and will be expanded to 10. Each set includes an attached refuse and recycling container. The same model installed at the library is proposed but in black rather than green to be consistent with the other items on Broadway Street in the downtown area.

Existing Proposed (In Black)
The bulbouts proposed at the Broadway Street/San Lorenzo Avenue intersection will include trash and recycling receptacles at each corner. This will add 4 sets of 32-gallon trash and recycling containers.

In addition, the trash receptacles at City parks overflow on a regular basis.

Therefore, the project proposes to add 5 new cart corrals to 3 of the City’s most heavily used parks. The cart corrals are structures that house 64-gallon wheeled refuse and recycling carts.

Wind Sculptures
The City has recently made some significant progress in beginning implementation of its Wind Sculpture (Kinetic) Public Art Program. Three sculptures have been commissioned for Broadway Street. The goal is to have at least one wind sculpture on every block to make travelling on Broadway Street a unique experience. Therefore, the Clean California Local Grant project is

proposed to include funding for three additional sculptures at Broadway Street and Russ Street, San Lorenzo Avenue, and at the entrance to King City High School. The wind sculptures on Russ Street and San Lorenzo Avenue will be incorporated into the design for the bulbouts. If the grant is approved, staff will work with the High School administration, faculty and students on the planning process for a new piece that will incorporate a positive theme for High School youth. Below is a piece that has already been conceptually designed and chosen by the Art Selection Committee for the bulbout at San Lorenzo Avenue.

FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF CITYWIDE ELECTRIC VEHICLE

CHARGING STATION PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council approve a citywide plan for installation of electric vehicle charging stations on City properties.

BACKGROUND:

One of the City’s major budget priorities approved by the City Council for FY 2023-24 is to plan and obtain grant funding for sustainability and resiliency projects. A key component of these efforts will be to establish King City as a leader in providing an extensive network of electric vehicle charging stations.

The State of California has adopted legislation requiring all sales of new lightduty passenger vehicles to be ZEVs by 2035. Staff recommends the City plan ahead to help meet infrastructure needs that will be required to accommodate the shift in vehicle technology that will take place over the next decade.

The Federal Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 included a significant amount of funding for electric vehicles and charging stations. This funding will be distributed through the State and the Monterey Bay Air Resources District.

Therefore, staff recommends planning begin immediately to position the City to obtain as much funding as possible for implementation of improvements in King City.

CITY COUNCIL

CONSIDERATION OF CITYWIDE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION PLAN
APRIL 11, 2023
PAGE 2 OF 3
DISCUSSION:

Support for the transition to zero emissions vehicles will help improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce climate change. All these goals combine to promote a better quality of life for the King City community. The initial goals of the plan are to: 1) distribute availability of electric vehicle charging stations throughout the community in City public parking lots: 2) equip City worksites with electric vehicle charging stations to accommodate transition of City vehicles to zero emissions: 3) continue working with commercial property owners to expand the installation of electric vehicle stations on private properties; and 4) streamline the permitting process for private entities to install electric vehicle charging stations.

It is proposed to begin by targeting the installation of 16 new electric vehicle charging stations on City properties. It is also recommended the installation of electric vehicle charging stations on City property be limited to only fast charge universal chargers.

The initial proposed City sites include the following:

City Hall 2 spaces
Police Station 1 space
Public Works Corporation Yard 2 spaces
Downtown Electric Vehicle Charging Station 5 spaces
City Park 2 spaces
Golf Course 2 spaces
San Antonio Park 2 spaces
Total 16 spaces
A major feature of the plan is a proposed dedicated Downtown Electric Vehicle Charging Station Parking Lot at 225 Broadway Street. The project would replace a blighted and decayed old vacant parcel with new pavement, landscaping, public art, and initially 5 spaces dedicated with universal electric vehicle fast charge stations. Additional charging stations would be added as demand increases until all spaces have charging stations and are dedicated for electric vehicles. Property acquisition and construction is projected in early 2024.

The project would be coordinated with other improvements to revitalize and beautify the downtown area. The electric vehicle charging stations are proposed to attract visitors to the downtown area to help attract new businesses and jobs.
