MEETING DATE: 4/2/2024
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT:

SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING FRANCHISE ADMINISTRATION

CONSULTING SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Approve the Fifth Amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with EcoNomics, Inc. for solid waste and recycling consulting services.

2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest to, the Fifth Amendment, to the Agreement with EcoNomics, Inc., substantially in the form attached.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On August 1, 2017, the City entered into a Professional Consultant Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with EcoNomics, Inc. (“EcoNomics”) for consulting services related to the current Franchise Agreement as well as other solid waste and recycling services as required by State law (Attachment 1). The term of the Agreement is set to expire on August 31, 2024.

The term of the Franchise Agreement with CR&R, Inc. was extended and will expire on June 30, 2025. EcoNomics agreed to extend their agreement for an additional year to provide consulting services for the remaining year of the Franchise Agreement. The proposed Fifth Amendment to the Agreement would extend the term to August 31, 2025, and increase the compensation amount by $140,000. If approved, the Fifth Amendment would result in a total compensation amount of $583,000. There are sufficient funds in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operating Budget to cover the cost of services that would be covered by EcoNomics. Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed Fifth Amendment to the Agreement with EcoNomics. The proposed Fifth Amendment was prepared by the Finance Department and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Item: 7
17 BACKGROUND:

On August 1, 2017, the City entered into the Agreement with EcoNomics for professional solid waste and recycling consulting services in the amount of $130,000. The term of the Agreement was September 1, 2017, to August 31, 2020. The Agreement included two (2) additional one-year extensions subject to the discretion of the City Council. Subsequently, the Agreement was amended as outlined in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Amendments to Agreement with EcoNomics, Inc.

Date Amendment Term Total
Amount
01/21/20 1
st Amendment 09/01/17 – 08/31/20 $160,000
07/21/20 2
nd Amendment 09/01/17 – 08/31/21 $230,000
07/22/21 3
rd Amendment 09/01/17 – 08/31/22 $301,000
04/21/22 4
th Amendment 09/01/17 – 08/31/24 $443,000
The City receives an annual Assembly Bill (“AB”) 939 Waste Reduction Fee payment from CR&R as required by the Franchise Agreement to fund associated consulting services. This payment is approximately $53,000 per year. The City also receives franchise fee revenue on an annual basis from CR&R. A franchise fee of 5% is applied to all revenue collected by CR&R and remitted to the City, generating approximately $600,000 per year. Franchise fee revenue helps the City offset the impacts resulting from CR&R’s solid waste service and funds the City’s required regulatory initiatives.

DISCUSSION:

In 2012, the City Council awarded a consulting agreement to EcoNomics, Inc. for the procurement of a solid waste franchise agreement. EcoNomics prepared the Franchise Agreement and has assisted the City in its management of the Franchise stipulations since its award to CR&R in 2014. The scope of work in the Agreement with EcoNomics includes professional on-call assistance to monitor the City’s solid waste hauler’s compliance with their Franchise Agreement.

Additionally, the consultant provides recommendations regarding the City’s efforts in meeting waste diversion mandates imposed by the State of California.

In recent years, EcoNomics assisted the City with implementing all aspects of Senate Bill 1383 (“SB 1383”) including amending the Franchise Agreement, implementing organics collection and processing, adopting an ordinance regarding organics waste recycling, monitoring compliance activities, assisting Item: 7
18 with education and outreach, and developing the City’s SB 1383 implementation record. EcoNomics also assists the City in preparing the CalRecycle Electronic Annual Report including data collection from the hauler and operators of recycling programs. Additionally, EcoNomics provides technical support by attending monthly meetings with CR&R and City staff, and reviewing reports submitted by CR&R for the purposes of monitoring its state mandated recycling programs and other contract requirements.

On January 2, 2024, the City Council approved the Second Amendment to the Franchise Agreement with CR&R, Inc. (“CR&R”) which extended the Franchise Agreement to June 30, 2025, to allow additional time to procure a new Solid Waste Agreement. The current agreement with EcoNomics expires August 31, 2024. EcoNomics agreed to extend the solid waste consultant agreement for an additional year with no increase in rates. An extension of the agreement would allow for continuity in the management of the Franchise Agreement over the remaining year. Given its comprehensive knowledge of the Franchise Agreement, staff believes EcoNomics is best poised to assist the City in addressing the demands of the ever-changing environment of the solid waste industry and legislation during the remaining year of the current Franchise Agreement.

When the current Franchise Agreement expires, so will the need for on-call consulting services to assist in the management of the current Franchise Agreement. The City holds a second contract with EcoNomics for the procurement of a new solid waste agreement. The scope of work in the second contract includes implementation and on-call consulting services related to the new solid waste agreement.

Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing and Contract Guidelines, staff completes a vendor performance assessment during a proposed contract amendment. The vendor performance assessment is used as a guide to determine whether a contract should be amended, renewed, or terminated based on performance in the following categories: performance of scope of services; timeliness; budget performance; and customer service. Utilizing an evaluation form, staff rates the consultant in each category. The following table provides an overall summary of EcoNomics’ performance during the respective evaluation period of September 1, 2017, through March 31, 2024.

Item: 7
19 Table 2: EcoNomics, Inc. Vendor Performance Assessment EcoNomics, Inc. – Performance Review
September 1, 2017, through March 31, 2024
Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed Fifth Amendment to the Agreement with EcoNomics (Attachment 6) which extends the agreement one year to August 31, 2025, and would add $140,000 for a total compensation of $583,000. The 2023-2025 Operating Budget includes $60,000 of SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Funds, AB 939 funds in the amount of $55,000, and $25,000 in the General Fund budget to cover the compensation requested in the proposed Fifth Amendment. The proposed Fifth Amendment was prepared by the Finance Department and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT:

SOLID WASTE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS CONSULTING SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Approve the First Amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with EcoNomics, Inc. for Solid Waste Request for Proposals Consulting Services.

2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, the City Clerk to attest, the First Amendment, substantially in the form attached.

3. Adopt a Resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 2023-2025 OPERATING BUDGET; AMENDING APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-24.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Lake Forest is jointly procuring a new solid waste agreement with the City of Laguna Hills. Due to the complexity of the project, the City of Lake Forest is utilizing the services of a consultant to assist with the procurement process. On February 1, 2022, the City Council approved an agreement with EcoNomics, Inc. (“EcoNomics”) for these consulting services with a term of February 1, 2022, through January 31, 2025, and a total compensation amount of $347,440 (“Agreement”).

Changes during the development of the Request for Proposal (“RFP”) documents required additional effort than anticipated during the negotiation of the consultant’s scope of work. Additionally, court rulings and changing state laws during the development of the procurement documents caused additional research, meetings, and modifications to the solid waste scope of work. The changing environment necessitated more hours of work for both staff and EcoNomics than was anticipated in the original scope of work.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with EcoNomics to increase compensation under the agreement by Item: 8
67 $165,000 for a total compensation of $512,440. The amendment would allow the Agreement to continue through the hauler selection process and to begin the implementation of the new solid waste agreement. The proposed First Amendment was prepared by the Finance Department and approved as to form by the City Attorney. Additionally, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution to increase the general fund operating budget by $165,000 to provide sufficient funding for the amendment.

Per a previously approved Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), Lake Forest and Laguna Hills would split the additional costs evenly between the two cities.

Once the City has approved a new solid waste agreement, the selected hauler will reimburse the cities for their respective share of the procurement costs.

BACKGROUND:

The solid waste and recycling franchise agreements held by the cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills with CR&R, Inc. both expire on June 30, 2025. On September 20, 2021, the City entered into a MOU with the City of Laguna Hills to work jointly on the development of the procurement documents. The MOU was later amended to include working jointly through the selection process of the new solid waste and recycling agreements for both cities. Both cities collaborated in selecting a consultant to assist in the effort. As the lead agency, Lake Forest holds the agreement with EcoNomics and invoices Laguna Hills for 50% of the costs and both cities’ will be fully reimbursed by the selected hauler upon award of the agreement.

On February 1, 2022, the City Council approved a three-year Professional Consultant Services Agreement with EcoNomics, Inc. (Attachment 1), to perform consulting services for procuring new solid waste agreements for Lake Forest and Laguna Hills. The scope of work includes the development of the request for proposal documents, assistance during the selection process, and the transition to the new solid waste agreement. The total compensation under the Agreement with EconNomics (“Agreement”) is $347,440 and the current agreement term is February 1, 2022, through January 31, 2025.

DISCUSSION:

Due to the complexity of solid waste and recycling services, the City of Lake Forest has historically utilized a professional solid waste consultant to develop procurement documents, draft agreement documents, and assist with the implementation of new solid waste and recycling service arrangements. On February 1, 2022, the City Council awarded a 3-year contract to EcoNomics, Inc.

Item: 8
68 to assist the cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills in a joint procurement of Solid Waste and Recycling Services.

The process to solicit and procure new solid waste services requires an extraordinary amount of effort to prepare the procurement documents for new services that meet the expectations of the residents and businesses and adheres to all state and local laws and regulations. To facilitate the joint process, an Ad Hoc Committee consisting of two City Council members from each city, staff, and the consultants met regularly to consider scope of work options carefully and make recommendations for the final Request for Proposals (“RFP”) document and the draft contract.

Phase One (Development of Procurement Documents) of the Scope of Services anticipated hours to draft RFP documents and a template agreement, as well as time for meetings, research and coordination. The process of bringing two cities together for a joint procurement of a complex service required more time than was expected during the negotiation of the scope of work. The creation of the joint RFP included decisions and input from ten councilmembers from two cities, two city attorneys each with solid waste expert attorneys. In addition to staff, city managers and the consultant participated in the process. Although input from these sources was necessary and invaluable to the process, it necessitated many more meetings, follow-up, and research than was anticipated.

Recent court rulings, CalRecycle rule changes, and changing state laws during the development of the procurement documents also added to the need for additional research and modifications to the solid waste scope of work. Through this process, it became necessary to add additional bid options to include both cross jurisdictional services and the ability to bid the documents separately. This meant producing a document that could accommodate three different bids options: Lake Forest alone, Laguna Hills alone, and a joint bid. The ability to separate the bids provides the cities with the most flexibility and control in selecting the next hauler(s). The changing environment necessitated more hours of work for both staff and EcoNomics than had been originally anticipated.

EcoNomics worked deliberately to ensure the RFP and contract documents are comprehensive and meet all the requirements mandated by the state. This careful and purposeful approach is continuing as EcoNomics completes its technical analysis of proposals received. The approach is necessary to ensure a fair and transparent evaluation of proposals and to provide an appropriate recommendation to both City Councils. The resulting solid waste agreements and scope of services affects every resident and business within the cities and could generate approximately $100-$150 million for the selected hauler.

The proposed First Amendment to the Agreement would increase the agreement by $165,000 for a total compensation amount of $512,440 which would allow Item: 8
69 EcoNomics to complete the procurement process and assist Lake Forest in the implementation of the new solid waste agreement. In addition to the proposed amendment, the Finance Department prepared a Budget Resolution (Attachment 3) to increase the budget by $165,000 accordingly. Pursuant to the MOU, Laguna Hills reimburses the City for 50% of the cost of the consultant.

Additionally, both cities will be reimbursed by the selected hauler for each city’s respective share of the procurement cost.

Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing and Contract Guidelines, staff completed a vendor performance assessment. The vendor assessment is used as a guide to determine whether a contract should be amended, renewed, or terminated based on performance in the following categories: performance of scope of services; timeliness; budget performance; and customer service. Utilizing an evaluation form, staff rated the consultant in each category. The following table provides an overall summary of EcoNomics’ performance during the respective evaluation period of February 1, 2022, through March 31, 2024.

Table 1:

Staff recommends the City Council approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with EcoNomics to increase compensation under the agreement by $165,000 for a total compensation of $512,440. The proposed First Amendment was prepared by the Finance Department and approved as to form by the City Attorney. Additionally, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution to increase the general fund operating budget by $165,000 to provide sufficient funding for the amendment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed First Amendment to the Agreement with EcoNomics would add $165,000 for a total compensation amount of $512,440. There is no change to the hourly rates. If adopted, the proposed resolution to amend the 2023-2025 Operating Budget would provide sufficient funding for the additional compensation under the Agreement.

SUBJECT:

PROPOSITION 218 PUBLIC HEARING FOR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION

SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Conduct a majority protest hearing on Proposition 218.

2. Adopt a Resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING RATES FOR

SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Lake Forest holds a Solid Waste Franchise Agreement with CR&R, Inc. for the Collection, Transportation, Processing, and Diversion of Recyclable Materials and Other Materials and for the Collection, Transportation, and Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (“Franchise Agreement”). On January 2, 2024, the City Council approved the Second Amendment to the Franchise Agreement with CR&R, which extended the term to June 30, 2025, to allow sufficient time for the City to properly procure and implement a new solid waste agreement effective July 1, 2025. The Second Amendment includes a rate increase of $2.65 per month for residential cart service and a 15% rate increase for all commercial services, including multi-family bin service. These increases reflect current solid waste industry and economic conditions.

Proposition 218 requires the City to conduct a public hearing to consider approval of a resolution containing the adjustment of solid waste service rates for residential, multi-family, and commercial customers. The rate adjustments would be effective July 1, 2024, and would expire with the expiration of the Franchise Agreement on June 30, 2025. The new solid waste agreement is expected to be awarded in summer 2024. A Proposition 218 Public Hearing would be held prior to the commencement of the new solid waste agreement that would be effective July 1, 2025.

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a majority protest hearing regarding the adoption of new solid waste rates in accordance with Proposition Item: 9
106
218 and approve the proposed resolution (Attachments 2 and 3) containing the proposed solid waste service rates upon conclusion that the City did not receive protests from over 50% of the parcels in the city. The City Attorney’s Office prepared the resolution establishing customer fees for solid waste services effective July 1, 2024.

BACKGROUND:

On March 4, 2014, the City Council awarded the Franchise Agreement (“Franchise Agreement”) to CR&R Environmental Services, Inc. (“CR&R”) for the collection, transportation, processing, and diversion of recyclable materials and municipal solid waste. The original term of the Franchise Agreement was May 1, 2014, to April 30, 2022, and included two one-year extensions that CR&R could earn by meeting certain performance goals designed to increase the City’s waste diversion from landfills. On February 21, 2017, the City Council awarded the first one-year extension to the Franchise Agreement which extended the term to April 30, 2023. On April 20, 2021, the City Council approved the First Amendment which extended the Franchise Agreement to June 30, 2024, and added SB 1383 requirements to the scope of work. On January 2, 2024, the City Council approved the Second Amendment to the Franchise Agreement thereby extending the term to June 30, 2025.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Lake Forest is in the process of procuring a new Solid Waste Agreement for the provision of solid waste collection and handling services to begin at the expiration of the current Franchise Agreement with CR&R. The City is working jointly with the City of Laguna Hills to procure these services as both cities hold franchise agreements that were set to expire June 30, 2024. On January 2, 2024, the City Council approved the Second Amendment to the Franchise Agreement which extends the agreement term to June 30, 2025, to provide sufficient time for the City to complete the Request for Proposal (“RFP”) procurement process for a new Solid Waste Agreement. Likewise, the City of Laguna Hills extended their Franchise to June 30, 2025.

Since the 1990s, legislation regarding solid waste and recycling in the State of California has become increasingly complex. In 2016, California adopted Senate Bill 1383 (“SB 1383”), the most extensive waste reduction mandate in the past 30 years. A Solid Waste Procurement Ad Hoc Committee consisting of two City Council members and staff from each City, along with a consulting firm, EcoNomics, worked deliberately to ensure the RFP and contract for the next solid waste agreement are comprehensive and meet all the requirements Item: 9
107
mandated by the State. The RFP was advertised, and the Cities received qualifying proposals on March 1, 2024.

The careful and deliberate approach will continue through the remainder of the procurement process. The approach is necessary to ensure a fair and transparent evaluation of proposals and to provide an appropriate recommendation to the City Council. Once the agreement is awarded, the selected hauler would need one year to implement the terms of the new agreement including developing collection routes, ensuring proper staffing, and purchasing new binds, carts, and trucks.

To facilitate the time needed to properly procure and implement the next agreement, staff requested EcoNomics negotiate a one-year extension to the Franchise with CR&R. SB 1383 and post-pandemic conditions continue to affect operations in the solid waste industry. These challenges, including equipment supply chain interruptions and labor shortages have significantly impacted the solid waste industry. During negotiations, EcoNomics analyzed financial documents provided by CR&R and discussed the specific industry impacts on the cost of collection in the City. As a result, the Second Amendment to the Franchise included rate adjustments for both residential and commercial customers effective July 1, 2024, subject to a Proposition 218 public hearing described further below.

Customers with residential cart service would see a $2.65 monthly increase in their CR&R billing as illustrated in Table 1. Rates for all commercial services, including multi-family bin service, would increase by 15% as demonstrated in Table 2. The rates appear to be reasonable for the market. In comparison to 2023 rates, the new 2024 rates would rank the City as the 9th lowest for residential rates and 2nd lowest for commercial rates in Orange County.

Proposition 218 Public Hearing
Although the City Council approved the Second Amendment to the Franchise Agreement, rate increases are subject to a Proposition 218 process. Proposition 218 (“Prop 218”), the Right to Vote Act, was approved by California voters in November 1996. In part, Prop 218 requires a majority protest proceeding before imposing or increasing any property-related fees. Specifically, Prop 218 requires the City to hold a public hearing and mail a notice of the public hearing to the owner of record and any tenant who is directly liable for the payment of the proposed fees. The City must mail the notice at least forty-five (45) days prior to the date of the public hearing regarding the proposed fees. Property owners and affected tenants may protest the proposed fees by submitting their comments in writing to the City. If the City receives protests from more than half the affected parcels, the City may not approve the proposed fees. While some jurisdictions maintain that privately held solid waste service is not subject to Prop 218, the City conducts majority protest hearing in an abundance of caution.

As was conducted in 2014, 2019, and 2021, it is now appropriate for the City Council to conduct a Prop 218 public hearing for the proposed adjusted rates related to the Second Amendment to the Franchise Agreement. There are approximately 20,516 parcels in the City of Lake Forest. On February 16, 2024, in accordance with Prop 218, the City mailed notifications of the proposed solid waste collect rates to 33,891 property owners, commercial customers, tenants, and occupants in the city (Attachment 1). The notice identified the proposed rates as well as instructions for filing written protests concerning the proposed rates.

As of agenda preparation on March 28, 2024, the City received five written protests. Protest letters from over 50% of the parcels in Lake Forest would be required to prevent the approval of the recommended actions.

The rate adjustments would be effective July 1, 2024, and would expire with the expiration of the Franchise on June 30, 2025. The new solid waste agreement is expected to be awarded in summer 2024 for services beginning July 1, 2025. A Item: 9
109
Proposition 218 Public Hearing would be held prior to the commencement of the new solid waste agreement.

Staff recommends that the City Council: (1) conduct a majority protest hearing regarding the adoption of new solid waste rates in accordance with Prop 218, and (2) approve the proposed resolution and exhibit (Attachments 2 and 3) containing the proposed solid waste service rates upon conclusion that the City did not receive protests from over 50% of the parcels in the City. The City Attorney’s Office prepared the resolution establishing customer fees for solid waste services effective July 1, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of the recommended action would increase the City’s franchise fee revenue collected from CR&R by approximately $95,000 per year, beginning July 1, 2024. The City receives a franchise fee of 5% of CR&R’s gross revenues collected within the city.

CITY OF LAKE FOREST NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

REGARDING PROPOSED INCREASES IN THE RATES FOR

SOLID WASTE SERVICE FEES
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Lake Forest (the “City”) will hold a Public Hearing on April 2, 2024, at 6:30 p.m., in the City of Lake Forest City Hall, located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92630, in order to consider adopting increases to the rates for collection and handling of solid waste, including garbage, green waste, and recycling within the City (collectively, “solid waste services”).

Proposed Rate Increases
CR&R Incorporated (“CR&R”) provides solid waste services within the City pursuant to an exclusive franchise agreement. This agreement establishes a formula for the amount that CR&R will charge the City for solid waste services it provides to properties within the City. As is currently done, the City is proposing to pass those costs on to property owners and customers who receive the identified solid waste services.

Pursuant to the franchise agreement, the rate structure for the monthly solid waste service fees has two customer classes: (i) residential, and (ii) commercial and multi-family. The rates for the solid waste service fees imposed on each customer class are determined on the basis of (i) the size of the refuse container (in gallons), or bin or cart (in cubic yards) serving the property; (ii) the type of refuse container (e.g., yard waste, recycling, or municipal solid waste (“MSW”)) serving the property; and (iii) the frequency of pickups per week.

The proposed monthly rates to be imposed are set forth in Exhibit A of this Notice. If adopted, the proposed rates will be effective for services provided on and after July 1, 2024.

As described below, in accordance with the franchise agreement, the rates for the solid waste service fees may be adjusted to recover increases or decreases in the costs of providing solid waste services. One such adjustment is a “Tipping Fee,” reflecting the fee CR&R is charged by Orange County for disposal of solid waste at applicable County disposal sites. In the event that Orange County increases or decreases its Tipping Fees, those increases or decreases will be passed on to property owners and customers (“Tipping Fee Adjustments”). Prior to implementing any annual Tipping Fee Adjustment, the City must provide written notice of such adjustment to any property owner whose property is subject to the payment of the solid waste service fees and any tenant directly liable for the payment of such fees. The notice must be mailed not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of any rate adjustment.

Public Hearing and Protests
Any property owner whose property is to be subject to the proposed increases to the rates for the solid waste service fees and any tenant directly responsible for the payment of such fees (i.e., a customer of record) may submit a written protest to the proposed rate increases; provided, however, only one protest will be counted per identified parcel. Any written protest must: (1) state that the identified property owner or tenant is in opposition to the proposed rate increases; (2) provide the location of the identified parcel (by assessor’s parcel number or street address); and (3) include the name and signature of the property owner or tenant submitting the protest. If the person submitting the written protest is the owner of record but was not shown on Orange County’s last equalized assessment roll as the property owner, that person must provide written evidence that the person is the property owner. Written protests may be submitted by mail or in person to the City Clerk at 100 Civic Center Drive, or at the Public Hearing (date and time noted above), provided they Item: 9
112
are received prior to the conclusion of the public comment portion of the Public Hearing. If submitting your protest by mail, please provide sufficient time for it to arrive prior to the close of the public comment portion of the public hearing. Any protest submitted via e-mail or other electronic means will not be accepted. Please identify on the front of the envelope for any protest, whether mailed or submitted in person to the City Clerk, Attn: Public Hearing on Rate Increases.

The City Council will consider all written protests and hear and consider all oral comments to the proposed rate increases and annual rate adjustments at the Public Hearing. Oral comments at the Public Hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest. Upon the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council will consider adoption of the rate increases to the City’s solid waste service fees.

If written protests against the proposed rate increases are not presented by a majority of the property owners of the identified parcels upon which the rates are proposed to be imposed and tenants directly responsible for the payment of the solid waste service fees, the City Council will be authorized to impose the rate increases detailed in Exhibit A. If adopted, the proposed rate increases will take effect beginning July 1, 2024. The City is conducting this Proposition 218 majority protest proceeding out of an abundance of caution and without conceding the applicability of Proposition 218 to solid waste service.

If you have questions regarding this notice or how your rates will be affected, call (949) 461-3480, or visit www.lakeforestca.gov for more information.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING RATES FOR

SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES
WHEREAS, CR&R Incorporated (“CR&R”) provides solid waste services (“Services”) to residential and commercial customers within the City of Lake Forest (“City”) pursuant to a franchise agreement (“Agreement”); and WHEREAS, the City Council is authorized under the Agreement to set the maximum rates CR&R may charge for the Services (“Rates”); and WHEREAS, the City and CR&R entered into a second amendment to the franchise agreement on January 17, 2024 that revises the rates for Services beginning July 1, 2024, upon completion of the proceedings in Article XIII D of the California Constitution (“Article XIII D”) and the City not receiving a majority protest against the Rates; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has directed that the City utilize the process provided in Article XIII D to approve the revised Rates set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by reference without conceding its applicability and in an abundance of caution; and
WHEREAS, Article XIII D requires that prior to imposing or increasing any property-related fee, the City shall provide written notice (the “Notice”) by mail of the proposed Rates to the record owner of each parcel upon which the Rates are proposed for imposition and any tenant directly liable for the payment of such Rates, the amount of the Rates proposed to be imposed on each parcel, the basis upon which the Rates were calculated, the reason for the imposition or increase, and the date time and location of a public hearing (the “Hearing”) on the proposed Rates; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XIII D such Notice is required to be provided to the affected property owners and any tenants directly liable for the payment of such Rates not less than 45 days prior to the Hearing on the proposed Rates; and WHEREAS, the City did provide such Notice to the affected property owners and tenants of the proposed Rates in compliance with Article XIII D; and WHEREAS, the Hearing was held on this day, April 2, 2024; and WHEREAS, at the Hearing the City Council considered all oral testimony, written materials, and written protests concerning the imposition of the proposed Item: 9
133
Rates, and at the close of the Hearing the City did not receive written protests against the approval of the proposed Rates from a majority of the affected property owners and tenants; and
WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to approve the proposed Rates.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE
FOREST DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the above Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein.

Section 3. Except as provided in Section 4 of the Agreement, CR&R shall charge the Rates for the Services set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, effective July 1, 2024, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

Section 5. This Resolution is not subject to the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). This Resolution is not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“State CEQA Guidelines”) because it has no potential for resulting in direct or indirect physical change in the environment. This Resolution is also exempt under Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question will have a significant effect on the environment. The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings have been based are located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92630. The custodian for these records is the City Clerk.

Section 6. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, or phrase in this Resolution or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid, ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Resolution or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted each section irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.

Section 7. This Resolution shall supersede any and all provisions of any previous resolution and/or ordinance approved by the City Council that may conflict with, or be contrary to, this Resolution.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 4/02/2024
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
SUBJECT:

PROPERTY MAINTENANCE ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Introduce for first reading an Ordinance Entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST CALIFORNIA ADDING CHAPTER

6.12 – PROPERTY MAINTENANCE, REVISING SECTION 6.14.002 – PUBLIC NUISANCES DESIGNATED, AND ADDING SECTION 6.14.017 –

DEFINITIONS, TO THE LAKE FOREST MUNICIPAL CODE, AND FINDING THE

ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL

QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO STATE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION
15061(B)(3)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This item is a staff-initiated Municipal Code Amendment adding a new Property Maintenance chapter of the Lake Forest Municipal Code (“LFMC”) and amending the Nuisances section. The amendment adds property maintenance standards, adds to and revises the list of conditions deemed a nuisance, clarifies and refines standards, and adds definitions.

The City Council initially considered this item at a public hearing on November 7, 2023, at which it established an ad hoc committee to further study the proposed Code amendment. The City Council also directed staff to conduct public outreach pertinent to the ordinance.

The Ad Hoc Committee met on February 26, 2024. Staff presented a comprehensive matrix clarifying the proposed amendments to the current Code, which are intended to preserve property values, mitigate conditions that could lead to blight, and facilitate code enforcement efforts. The public outreach showed broad support for comprehensive property maintenance standards.

Staff recommends the City Council introduce the draft ordinance (Attachment 1) for first reading.

Item: 10
156
BACKGROUND:

This item was initially presented to the City Council on November 7, 2023. The staff report from the November 7 meeting, which provides a full background and analysis, is provided as Attachment 2. At the November 7 meeting, the City Council discussed the draft ordinance and formed an Ad Hoc Committee to further study the proposed amendments and make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council also directed staff to conduct public outreach pertinent to the draft ordinance.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed draft ordinance is intended to promote public health, safety, and welfare by addressing conditions that may be detrimental to the community. It is also consistent with General Plan Policy 2.3, which encourages the City to proactively address housing and neighborhood conditions that may be detrimental to public health.

The Municipal Code (“Code”) currently contains a chapter on nuisances (Chapter

6.14). However, current Code does not address conditions that are adverse to public health, safety and welfare, and which are better classified as property maintenance conditions. The proposed ordinance would amend the Code to add a property maintenance section, add to and revise the list of conditions deemed a nuisance, clarify and refine standards, and add definitions. Specifically, the draft ordinance includes:

1. New Chapter 6.12 – Property Maintenance

2. Revisions to section 16.14.002 – Public Nuisances Designated

3. New section 6.14.017 – Definitions
The draft ordinance also reclassifies numerous conditions as property maintenance violations, rather than nuisances, and specifies the list of conditions that constitute violations to provide Code Enforcement the authority to address the most common complaints received. In addition, the ordinance addresses ambiguities in the current code with more precise language and new definitions.

Item: 10
157
For example:

Table 1. Current and Proposed Code Regarding Graffiti

6.14.102 Prohibition.

A. No person shall place graffiti upon
any public or privately owned
structure, building, or property,
including natural and manmade
objects with the City.

B. Declaration of nuisance. A violation
of this chapter may be abated by
any means authorized by law.

C. Violation of this chapter constitutes
a misdemeanor, punishable in
accordance with Section 1.01.200
et seq., of this Code.

Proposed Section 6.12.010
A. Graffiti. All structures, equipment,
walls and fencing on the property
shall be maintained free of graffiti
pursuant to Chapter 6.14 Article II
of this code.

The intent of the ordinance is to facilitate code enforcement, help preserve property values and quality, and mitigate conditions that could lead to blight. The benefits include:
• New standards that can be applied to residential and non-residential property;
• Addresses public concerns, particularly for renters or those who do not have a say in the maintenance of their residence or business premises; • Helps maintain and improve property values;
• Addresses dangerous and dilapidated buildings/structures.

On February 26, 2024, the Ad Hoc Committee (“Committee”), including Mayor Pro Tem Voigts and Council Member Yu, met and discussed the draft ordinance.

Staff presented a summary matrix (Attachment 3) that compares the draft ordinance with the current Code and identifies the origin of proposed standards.

The matrix also highlights proposed new standards and nuisance conditions that are more appropriately classified as property maintenance conditions.

The Committee discussed how the current Code does not address several conditions that are adverse to public health, safety, and welfare, and how the proposed amendments address ambiguities in the current Code with more precise language and new definitions. The Committee also considered how the ordinance defines more clearly conditions that constitute violations to assist Code Enforcement with addressing the most common complaints. The Ad Hoc Committee indicated support for adoption of the draft ordinance and recommended that it be approved by the City Council.

Item: 10
158
Staff also presented the results of a community survey that gauged public opinion on various aspects of property maintenance, including the level of support for comprehensive/robust standards and simplified codes. The survey consisted of 11 statements that survey respondents were asked to indicate agreement or disagreement with, on a 1-10 scale (“1” indicating “strong disagreement” and “10” indicating “strong agreement”). Survey statements included: (#3) “The City should set minimum standards for property maintenance”, which generated 82% agreement response (a rating of 6 – 10), and (#6) “The City’s standards for property maintenance should be comprehensive/robust”, which generated 79.1% agreement response.

Staff surveyed the public in both English and Spanish. Survey participation was encouraged through the following means:
• City website and social media.
• Flyers and TV displays in City Hall.
• Door-to-door leaflet drop to approximately 200 homes throughout the City. • Presentation at a HOA Roundtable meeting.
• Web links in staff email signatures.

Over 270 survey responses were received. 97% of the survey respondents identified as Lake Forest residents and 90% identified as property owners. The survey results are provided as Attachment 4.

In addition to the survey questions, 110 respondents provided comments in an open comment field. The comments addressed a wide array of issues, including:
• street maintenance
• property values
• on-street parking
• fire hazards
• property insurance
• commercial property
maintenance
• HOA vs. non-HOA areas
• equal/fair enforcement
• public right-of-way and park
maintenance
• graffiti
• paving conditions
• code awareness campaigns
• trash accumulation
• landscape maintenance
• street vendors
• illegal signage
• noise
• support of/opposition to
stricter enforcement
• homelessness
The Committee directed a second phase of community outreach wherein survey respondents that provided an e-mail address (61) were encouraged to comment Item: 10
159
on the draft ordinance and to attend the April 2, 2024, City Council public hearing. To date, no comments on the draft ordinance have been received.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Introducing the draft ordinance for first reading carries no fiscal impact.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the Recitals above are true and correct and incorporated as findings herein.

SECTION 2. CEQA. The City Council determines that adoption of the Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. (14 Cal.

Code Regs., § 15061(b)(3).) The Ordinance does not authorize any development or other activity that could result in a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly, the City Council hereby directs City staff to file a Notice of Exemption within five days of the adoption of this Ordinance.

SECTION 3. General Plan. Based on the entire record before the City Council, and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council hereby finds and determines that the Ordinance’s amendments to the LFMC are consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan. Specifically, this Ordinance is consistent with Health and Wellness Element Policy 2.3, which encourages the City to proactively address housing and neighborhood conditions that may be detrimental to public health. Research by City staff indicates that such conditions can include improperly maintained housing and real property, public nuisances (such as abandoned items, hoarding, inoperable vehicles), and unsafe structures. This Ordinance improves the City's ability to address these conditions, each of which may be detrimental to public health and safety. For these reasons, adoption of the Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan.

SECTION 4. Code Amendment – Addition of Chapter 6.12. Chapter 6.12 – “Property Maintenance,” is hereby added to the Lake Forest Municipal Code, to read in its entirety as follows:

ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL

QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO STATE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION
15061(B)(3)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This item is a staff-initiated ordinance adding a new Property Maintenance chapter to the Lake Forest Municipal Code (“LFMC”), amending the Nuisances section, and adding corresponding definitions. The proposed ordinance is intended to promote public health, safety, and welfare by proactively addressing conditions that may be detrimental to the community in accordance with General Plan Policy 2.3, which encourages the City to proactively address housing and neighborhood conditions that may be detrimental to public health.

The LFMC currently contains a chapter on nuisances (Chapter 6.14). However, the existing nuisance code does not address numerous conditions that are adverse to public health, safety and welfare, and which are better classified as property maintenance conditions. This code amendment adds a property maintenance section, adds to and revises the list of conditions deemed a nuisance, clarifies and refines standards, and adds definitions. Specifically, the draft ordinance includes:

1. New chapter 6.12 – Property Maintenance

2. Revisions to section 16.14.002 – Public Nuisances Designated

3. New section 6.14.017 – Definitions
Item: 13
193
ATTACHMENT 2
Item: 10
175
The draft ordinance also reclassifies numerous conditions as property maintenance violations, rather than nuisances, and expands the list of conditions that constitute violations to provide code enforcement the authority to address the most common complaints received. In addition, the ordinance addresses ambiguities in the current code with more precise language and new definitions.

The ordinance was prepared with reference to the International Property Maintenance Code and in consultation with the City Attorney's Office.

The intent of the ordinance is to facilitate code enforcement, help preserve property values and quality, and mitigate conditions that could lead to blight. The benefits include:
• Standards that can be applied to commercial and residential property; • Addresses public concerns, particularly for renters or those who do not have a say in the maintenance of their residence or business premises; • Helps maintain and improve property values;
• Addresses dangerous and dilapidated buildings/structures • Prevents blight.

Staff recommends the City Council introduce the proposed ordinance for first reading (Attachment 1). If introduced tonight, the City Council would have the opportunity to consider final approval of the proposed ordinance at the November 21, 2023, City Council meeting.

BACKGROUND:

Code Enforcement officers currently utilize LFMC Chapter 6.14 – Nuisances, General as a property maintenance enforcement tool. However, this code section has not been updated in several years and lacks certain useful provisions. Presently, property maintenance standards used by Code Enforcement are dispersed across multiple codes, including the California Residential Code, California Health and Safety Code, California Fire Code, and various sections of the LFMC. This scattered arrangement of codes and standards makes compliance efforts more challenging for code enforcement, residents, property owners, and business owners.

In many instances, the codes cited for property maintenance violations are more suitable for regulation of construction or land use. For example, the California Building Standards Code (“CBSC”) provides standards for construction of walls but does not address peeling paint. The CBSC also does not require that parking lot pavement be maintained free of cracks and potholes, or that stall striping not be faded. Moreover, the standards contained in the CBSC tend to be overly technical and intended for engineers, architects, and other design professionals, rather than property and business owners. An additional challenge is that the referenced codes often lack appropriate standards and regulations for Item: 13
194
ATTACHMENT 2
Item: 10
176
addressing many of the property maintenance issues commonly encountered in the city.

Presently, Lake Forest is one of only six Orange County cities that have not adopted either a standalone property maintenance code, such as the International Property Maintenance Code ("IPMC"), or a property maintenance chapter in its municipal code. As Lake Forest transitions to a maintenanceoriented city, it becomes increasingly important to equip Code Enforcement with the tools and regulations necessary to ensure a basic level of property maintenance.

DISCUSSION:

Property maintenance and nuisance issues are the basis for most code enforcement activity in the city, as well as the subject of most complaints received from the public. Property maintenance issues can manifest as unsanitary or hazardous conditions at one end of the spectrum and as an eyesore for neighbors and passersby at the other. Without active enforcement and proper enforcement tools, deferred maintenance conditions can proliferate in neighborhoods and contribute to blight that is difficult to reverse. Ensuring a basic level of property maintenance and minimizing public nuisances is critical to maintaining property values and the health, safety, and welfare of the community.

It is essential that Code Enforcement and the City Attorney's office have the proper tools to effectively address property maintenance issues. The tool most helpful in this regard is a set of clear, concise, and comprehensive regulations that address the most common maintenance issues. Regulations should be practical and legally enforceable. In Lake Forest, this can be achieved with regulations that are consolidated and focused on maintenance, rather than new construction, remodeling, or repairs.

In December 2022, as part of the triennial update of the California Building Standards Code, staff initially proposed adoption of the International Property Maintenance Code ("IPMC") as a means to enhance code enforcement authority.

As noted in the Background section of this report, the IPMC has been widely adopted by Orange County cities, as well as throughout California and nationally.

However, after further evaluation and feedback from the City Council, staff prepared a custom-to-Lake Forest property maintenance code section that borrows from the IPMC but is more concise, uses simpler language, and eliminates references to other codes not used in Lake Forest (e.g., the International Plumbing Code).

Staff also drafted revisions to the City's existing nuisance regulations (LFMC section 6.14.002) and added a list of definitions as a new section 6.14.017. The Item: 13
195
ATTACHMENT 2
Item: 10
177
definitions minimize ambiguity, thereby rendering the standards more enforceable and protected from legal challenge. The draft property maintenance regulations, nuisance code revisions, and definitions are provided as an attachment to this report (Attachment 1).

Because violation notices issued by Code Enforcement typically cite applicable code sections, the draft ordinance would facilitate notices to property owners that are easier to understand. This, in turn, will facilitate compliance and avoid complications from vague or ambiguous notices. In many instances, code enforcement cases are settled in court, where judges look to the code sections cited to determine if the condition described in the notice constitutes a clear violation of law. If adopted, the revised and new code sections would help ensure Code Enforcement and the City Attorney's office are effectively able to utilize codified regulations to address the most common property maintenance and nuisance issues.

Attachment 2 lists each proposed code section and its origin or basis. For example, some sections were derived from existing provisions in one or more chapters of the LFMC and synthesized or reworded as succinct property maintenance standards. In other instances, conditions that currently constitute a Code violation based on one or more existing LFMC sections were simply designated a nuisance. Other proposed code sections are based on standards in the IPMC, the California Building Code, the California Health & Safety Code, or another California code.

New Chapter- 6.12 - Property Maintenance
The draft ordinance includes provisions that address the following property maintenance conditions:
• graffiti
• building exteriors and painted
surfaces
• walls and fences
• driveway and parking lot
pavement, signage, and
striping
• tarpaulin as coverings for
inoperative vehicles and other
stored items in public view
• "E-Z up" canopies in front
yards and parking lots
• light fixtures and support
poles Conditions not adequately addressed by current
Code (vegetation, trash bins, inoperative vehicles)

• windows and window screens in multi-family residential units • commercial signage
• dead or overgrown vegetation
• rodents and vermin
• address numerals required to support emergency response/ public safety • swimming pool water and fencing
• temporary wiring and lighting
• mechanical equipment and plumbing
• inoperable vehicles, trash bins/dumpsters, and storage pods Revision to Section 16.14.002 – Public Nuisances Designated LFMC section 6.14.002 – Public Nuisances, Designated, identifies conditions that constitute a public nuisance and a violation of law in the City. The draft ordinance designates the conditions listed below as a public nuisance. In all but one instance, provisions deleted from section 6.14.002 were added to the property maintenance code as a more appropriate classification.

The draft ordinance removes
"Use of parked or stored
recreational vehicles . . . as
temporary or permanent
living space" from the list of
nuisances based on
guidance from the City
Attorney's Office and for
consistency with recent case
law1. Certain other
provisions listed in the draft
property maintenance code
section are currently
identified as nuisances in the
LFMC and were reclassified
as property maintenance
violations.

Updated List of Nuisances:
• Failure to secure and prevent access by unauthorized persons to vacant or abandoned property and/or structures
• Abandoned, disregarded, or unused objects or equipment • Stagnant water

• Commercial shipping/ storage containers on a residential property for more than 14 consecutive days, except for a maximum of 90 days in conjunction with an active building permit
• Storage of construction equipment visible from the public right-of-way in a residential zone, except during construction with a permit • Parking, storing, or maintaining abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperable vehicle on any residential property, where the vehicle is visible from the public right-of-way
• Habitable structures failing to provide and maintain light, ventilation, and space conditions in compliance with the requirements of the California Building Code and California Residential Code
• Garages, kitchens, and other non-habitable spaces used for sleeping purposes, or as any other habitable space
• A condition such that a bedroom constitutes the only means of access to other bedrooms or habitable spaces, and/or is the only means of egress from other habitable spaces
• Absent, unsafe, or obstructed continuous path of travel from any point in a building or structure to the public way
• Non-operational, defective, or absent fire protection, detection, and life safety systems required by code
• The keeping of bees or livestock on any residential property, except for up to 4 hens
• Any pest breeding hazard
• Trailers, campers, boats, or motor vehicles parked or stored on vacant property or in front yards of developed lots, except on a Code-compliant and paved driveway
New Section 6.14.017 – Definitions
The draft ordinance adds definitions as a new LFMC section 6.14.017 for the following terms used in the draft updated version of section 6.14.002:
• commercial bins • infestation
• commercial vehicle • inoperable vehicle
• habitable space • residential uses
• hen • vehicle
• hoarding or hoarding conditions • vacant property
The added definitions minimize ambiguity for Code Enforcement and the public and enhance the City's ability to enforce nuisance standards. Furthermore, the Item: 13
198
ATTACHMENT 2
Item: 10
180
definitions protect the City from legal challenges to enforcement proceedings on the basis that terms used in the LFMC are vague or subject to interpretation.

The draft ordinance establishes a minimum maintenance standard for each item listed. For example, potholes, broken windows, dead vegetation, and faulty wiring would constitute a violation of the LFMC.

SUMMARY:

The draft ordinance was prepared in coordination with the City Attorney's Office.

Adoption and implementation of the draft ordinance would provide a consistent and uniform approach to property maintenance, facilitate code enforcement, help preserve property values and quality, and promote public health, safety, and welfare. The ordinance provides standards and regulations that are more easily understood, easier to enforce, and more comprehensive than the current regulatory framework. Staff recommends the City Council introduce the proposed ordinance for first reading (Attachment 1). If introduced tonight, the City Council will have the opportunity to consider final approval of the proposed ordinance at the November 21, 2023, City Council meeting.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Approval of the draft ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs., § 15061(b)(3)). The Ordinance does not authorize any development or other activity that could result in a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the draft ordinance carries no fiscal impact.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 4/2/2024
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT:

STRATEGIC PLAN QUARTERLY UPDATE
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Receive and file.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On June 20, 2023, the City Council approved the City’s Strategic Plan covering Fiscal Years 2023-24 through 2029-30 (“Strategic Plan”). The Strategic Plan includes major goals established by the City Council and a series of initiatives that facilitate progress towards each goal. The Strategic Plan’s Implementation Matrix includes 80 initiatives (Attachment 1). Each initiative has been assigned to a lead department and includes a description of the funding source. The Strategic Plan is updated every two years in conjunction with the development of the City’s two-year operating budget.

Each quarter, the City Manager’s Office provides an update to the City Council summarizing the progress made on the Strategic Plan during the preceding three months. This is the third quarterly report submitted to the City Council since the Strategic Plan’s inception on June 20, 2023. The City has either started, completed, or made substantial progress on 65 of the initiatives in the Implementation Matrix. 17 of the 80 initiatives have been completed. A complete progress report for Year 1, Quarter 3 of the Strategic Plan is provided as Attachment 2.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s Strategic Plan was approved on June 20, 2023. The Strategic Plan was developed through a comprehensive public engagement process that included residents, each commission, and the City Council. The Strategic Plan includes three major goals:

Goal A – Our City is well-planned, attractive, and safe.

Item: 11
210
Goal B – Our connected City is engaged, informed, and technologically current.

Goal C – Our healthy City government is sustainable and well-run with committed people.

The Strategic Plan’s Implementation Matrix includes 80 initiatives that are assigned to one of the three goals. Each of these initiatives facilitate progress towards one of the goals.

DISCUSSION:

The City Manager’s Office actively manages the City’s Strategic Plan, receiving periodic reports from departments to assess the progress made towards plan goals. Since the Strategic Plan’s inception, the City has either started, completed, or made substantial progress on 65 of the initiatives in the Implementation Matrix. The overall progress made on the Strategic Plan is illustrated in Attachment 2. The City Manager’s Office has selected 6 completed Strategic Plan initiatives to highlight for this quarterly report (Table 1).

Goal A: Our livable City is well-planned, attractive, and safe.

SP #10 – Parking

response and facilitate
cleaner neighborhood
streets and adjust
staffing accordingly.
**Parking issues remain
a moderate to significant
neighborhood concern
for many residents in the
2023 Community
Satisfaction Survey (pg.
48)**
Following a cost analysis of
contracting a private parking
enforcement service versus
establishing an in-house
parking program, the City
Council directed staff to move
forward with establishing an
in-house program.

An in-house parking
enforcement program was
created, staffed, and
activated in late February
2024. As of March 27, 2024,
over 400 parking citations
have been issued.

navigation centers, and
transitional and supportive
housing. The City also
streamlined review for eligible
projects, employee housing
parking, residential care
facilities, and accessory
dwelling units (“ADUs”).

These amendments
implemented the goals,
policies and implementation
actions of the Housing
Element.

On an ongoing basis, staff
meet individually with
developers and discuss
affordable housing
opportunities, incentives, and
policies. Staff provides
information about ADUs and
affordable housing resources
via regular meetings with
Homeowner Associations.

SP #16 –
Affordable Housing

Market affordable
housing opportunities to
the community.

2024. City staff represented
the City during a panel
presentation in front of the
Associated Student Body
class.

SP #60 – Informal
Resident Survey
System
Procure informal resident
survey system to gather
quick feedback on
neighborhood issues.
**Most residents are
satisfied with the City's
communication efforts
and increasingly rely on
social media and
electronic forms of
communication (pg. 60-
76)**
The Communications &
Marketing Division procured
the software service,
FlashVote, that allows the
City to quickly poll residents
on City issues. So far, the
City has polled residents
about the issue of dogs being
off leash at City parks as part
of the Leash Up Lake Forest
campaign.
