CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.4

DATE:

January 24, 2022
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Scott Lanphier, Public Works Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution ratifying the execution of the Federal Aviation Administration American Rescue Plan Act Grant Agreement to fund the Airport Enterprise Fund due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, in the amount of $59,000

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution ratifying the Director of Emergency Services execution of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) American Rescue Plan Act Grant (ARPA) Agreement No. 3- 06-0123-034-2022, to fund the Airport Enterprise Fund due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in the amount of $59,000.

SUMMARY
On December 20, 2021, the Livermore Airport was awarded $59,000 through FAA funds provided to eligible airports from the American Rescue Plan Act. The Act provided $8 billion dollars for airports to be distributed through the FAA.

DISCUSSION
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the FAA was authorized to distribute funds to airports through the passage of the American Rescue Plan Act. The FAA divided up funds provided through the Act to eligible airports. Livermore Airport was awarded a one-time grant in the amount of $59,000. This grant can be utilized on any Airport operating cost that meets current FAA requirements. This grant will assist in offsetting some of the revenue loss the Airport is sustaining due to reduction in fuel flowage and landing fees. The total amount of the Grant will be deposited in the Airport Enterprise Fund 210 in Fiscal Year 2021-22. All funds from the Grant must be spent within four years of acceptance.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The FAA has issued a $59,000 grant agreement to fund eligible airport operation in the Airport Enterprise 160
Fund 210. In addition, this grant will be subject to federal award audit (single audit) and compliance requirements over the grant period of four years. The audit fee for Fiscal Year 2021-22 is already included in the General Fund's approved budget. Audit fee for future fiscal years will be incorporated as part of the budget process. No additional appropriations are required at this time.

DATE:

January 24, 2022
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Scott Lanphier, Public Works Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing staff to submit an application to apply for and receive funds from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to assist with the implementation of SB 1383, which targets a reduction in the disposal of organic waste, and designating the City Manager as the Signature Authority.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing staff to submit an application to apply for and receive funds from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) and designating the City Manager as the Signature Authority.

SUMMARY
In January 2022, the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) announced a non- competitive, one-time grant program meant to assist with the implementation of regulation requirements associated with SB 1383. The City of Livermore is eligible to receive up to $120,658. Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing staff to submit an application to apply for and receive funds from CalRecycle and designating the City Manager as the primary Signature Authority.

DISCUSSION
In September 2016, Governor Brown signed into law Senate Bill 1383, the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016, which established aggressive targets to achieve a 75 percent reduction in the statewide disposal of organic waste beginning in 2025.

On October 25, 2021, an Ordinance was adopted by the City Council to amend Title 8, Chapter 8.08 of the Livermore Municipal Code by adding Article XII to require the reduction of organic and recyclable materials deposited in landfills with an effective enforcement date of January 1, 2022, consistent with the requirements of SB 1383.

In January 2022, the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) announced a non- competitive, one-time grant program meant to assist with the implementation of regulation requirements 187
associated with SB 1383. The City of Livermore is eligible to receive up to $120,658 from CalRecycle; the Application Certification (Attachment A) which will be signed by the City Manager, summarizes the proposed application. Monies can be used for procurement of eligible materials, recordkeeping and tracking, education and outreach, and enforcement activities. Applications are due February 1, 2022.

If adopted, this Resolution and Signature Authority Designation (Attachment B) may also apply to future CalRecycle grants. Once the resolution is adopted, it will be valid for five years, or until it is rescinded by City Council or program requirements are modified.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The City of Livermore is eligible to receive $120,658 from CalRecycle to assist with the implementation of regulation requirements associated with SB 1383. Approval of this item will not impact the General Fund and no City matching funds or other obligations are required by the terms of the Grant.

Grants will
be awarded beginning April 1, 2022, and monies are eligible to be spent on expenditures from April 1, 2022 to April 1, 2024. If the grant is awarded, the City will use these funds beginning in Fiscal Year 2022-23 and staff will update the budget as part of the upcoming budget update.

SUBJECT:

Resolution in support of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission’s Bay Adapt: Regional Strategy for a Rising Bay.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Mayor Woerner recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution in support of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission’s Bay Adapt: Regional Strategy for a Rising Bay.

SUMMARY
The Bay Area is facing challenges of rising sea levels and eroding shorelines. To help combat these challenges, the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) brought together federal, state, regional, and local governments, agencies, and organizations, along with community members, to develop a consensus-driven strategy that lays out the actions necessary to adapt the Bay Area to rising sea level to protect people and the natural and built environment.

DISCUSSION
The Bay Area is facing challenges of rising sea levels and eroding shorelines. To help combat these challenges, the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) brought together federal, state, regional, and local governments, agencies, and organizations, along with community members, to develop a consensus-driven strategy that lays out the actions necessary to adapt the Bay Area to rising sea level to protect people and the natural and built environment (Attachment 1).

BCDC has developed 6 guiding principles that include:

Support socially vulnerable communities
Put nature first whenever possible
Solve interconnected problems at the same time
Practice inclusive, community-led governance and decision-making Support existing efforts but plan for long term
Pick the right strategy for the right place at the right time

195
By supporting the "Bay Adapt: Regional Strategy for a Rising Bay", Livermore is supporting:

The reduction of flood risk
Protection of natural areas
Equitable support for low-income communities
Community-focused local plans
Accelerated permitting & project construction
Technical assistance
More funding

On January 12, 2022, the Alameda Conference of Mayors adopted a similar resolution. The Livermore City Council is committed to the protection of land, resources, assets and uses. For this reason, Mayor Woerner recommends adopting the resolution in support of Bay Area Adapt: Regional Strategy for a Rising Bay for the protection and resiliency in the San Francisco Bay Area.

8 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM What is Bay
Adapt?
A regional strategy for a
rising bay.

Adapting to sea level rise will require a broad range of planning, policy, community, and project decisions that promote the protection of people, infrastructure, and natural systems. In such a diverse and engaged
region, adaptation will also require balancing many
interests and needs, ranging from the health of the most vulnerable residents and the Bay ecosystem to local economic growth and jobs, services, housing, and recreational opportunities.

Much adaptation will and should occur at the local city or county levels, where adaptation planning is already accelerating. However, we live in a highly networked region where impacts in one area, and responses to them, have cascading effects around the Bay. A coordinated approach across the region can reduce
unintended consequences and greatly enhance local
efforts. Collective action can be expedited by shared goals that help communities find and enact their own
solutions. No one agency, jurisdiction or community can or should go it alone.

For the past five years, the Bay Area has been thinking about this problem in earnest. Forward-thinking
planners, scientists and activists have already laid some important groundwork, and pinpointed the areas and
communities that will be most at risk. Since 2019, Bay Adapt has worked to establish regional agreement on
the actions necessary to protect people and the natural and built environments from rising sea levels.

Bay Adapt was convened by the San Francisco Bay
Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), a
state agency, in partnership with a broad range of Bay Area leaders. The principles, actions, goals, and tasks in this document—a Joint Platform for adaptation—were
developed in close collaboration among BCDC staff, a large Leadership Advisory Group, and hundreds of stakeholders.

We envision a Bay Area that
is resilient and adaptive
far into the future. As
the region grows and
changes, such resilience
can only be achieved by
supporting collaborative
action, fostering greater
equity among residents,
and sustaining the unique
ecosystems we all rely upon
and thrive within.

Figure 1 | The Bay Adapt process kicked off in late summer 2019. The development of the Joint Platform started in early summer 2020, convening hundreds of stakeholders to brainstorm and refine the series of actions and tasks laid out in the final Joint Platform. Over this time period, Bay Adapt also facilitated multiple working groups, committee meetings, public forums, community and stakeholder focus groups, and conducted extensive outreach throughout the nine-county Bay Area. Implementation of the tasks begins in Fall 2021.

12 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM Setting the foundation for
the Joint Platform.

Rather than specifying individual projects, the Joint
Platform lays out guiding principles that inform
overarching region-wide actions, goals and tasks.

Its aim is to overcome barriers, accelerate keys
to success, and share targets to help the region achieve:
‣ Flood protection and reduced flood risk for
communities, businesses, infrastructure, and
habitat.
‣ Robust integration of adaptation into
community-focused local plans.
‣ Recognition, elevation, and support for frontline
communities.
‣ Accelerated permitting and faster project
construction for priority adaptation projects.
‣ T echnical assistance for local governments to
plan and implement projects faster.
‣ More funding for adaptation that is easier to
get.
‣ Metrics for deciding what makes the best
kind of adaptation plan or project (equitable, efficient, multi-benefit, nature-based, and
coordinated with others) and for tracking local
and regional progress.

Engaging the entire region in collective action
requires clear agreement on the path forward
and checks and balances to ensure no voice is
left unheard, and no community left behind. This
Platform provides that roadmap for adaptation.

The Joint Platform will help
the Bay Area engage in
faster, better, and more
equitable adaptation to a
rising Bay.

Sea level rise in our regional plans.

Plan Bay Area 2050 is the region’s long-range strategic plan focused on the interrelated elements of housing, the economy, transportation and the environment.

Adopted in Fall 2021, Plan Bay Area 2050 is the first
multi-topic plan of its kind to question what the future will look like in the face of sea level rise and other natural hazards. How will these threats impact housing, transportation, environmental, and economic goals?
What are the consequences if we don’t plan ahead? Starting with Horizon, Plan Bay Area 2050’s preliminary research and analysis phase, MTC/ABAG integrated
the best available sea level rise mapping into imagining the impacts of sea level rise within the 2050 timeline of the plan. T o address areas of near-term sea level rise impacts, Plan Bay Area incorporated an Adapt to sea
level rise strategy, mapping protections on vulnerable portions of the shoreline and calculated at $19 billion need for adaptation over the next thirty years.

Plan Bay Area 2050’s Implementation Plan, which sets
the strategic direction to advance strategies in the next five years, identifies key actions that MTC/ABAG and its partners should take to adapt the region to sea level rise.

While these actions are compatible with Bay Adapt’s tasks and will be implemented in partnership with Bay Adapt, they are part of a larger, multi-element plan and do not go into the level of detail on sea level rise that Bay Adapt does.

Plan Bay Area has been, and will continue to be, a critical tool for region-wide resilient land use decisions as sea levels rise. The Plan will continue to grow to become a comprehensive plan that brings in key regional topics, and will incorporate the best available science and regional sea level rise planning envisioned by Bay Adapt. MTC/ABAG will continue to be a key partner for planning, funding, and implementing
adaptation solutions in the Bay.

13 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM Where do we
start?
Preserving what we care about.

The Bay Area is the most culturally and geographically diverse region in the United States, with people of color comprising 59% of our population. More than 75% of residents believe that racial diversity is what makes the Bay Area such a great place to live. Our region is also called the “Bay Area” for a reason — the Bay is the defining characteristic of our geography and defines so much of our economy, infrastructure, and lives.

Residents cherish the beautiful blue expanse of San Francisco Bay, and their ability to walk beside it, sail over it, and gaze across its open horizons. With its diverse habitats—beaches, wetlands, grasslands, tidal flats, lagoons and more—the Bay supports hundreds
of species, ranging from critically endangered salmon and marsh mice to charismatic sea lions, busy beavers, and wayward whales. Thanks to decades of careful
stewardship and public investments in shoreline parks and habitats, the West Coast’s largest Estuary is both more habitable and healthier for humans and wildlife alike.

Our diversity of people and habitats also supports one of the most innovative economies in the world. The Bay Area is a hub of technology, industry, agriculture, services, and more, though this has created significant challenges in income equality.

Within this context is both diversity and inequity.

Across our communities, cities, and counties, we
have different histories, different challenges and different opportunities. Deciding which climate change adaptation options are right for each community can be complex. Many people contribute to making these decisions, and lots of considerations go into deciding what the right solutions may be for each particular waterfront.

If we are to prepare ourselves fully for sea level rise throughout the region, cities and counties must work with local communities and the state and federal
governments to make decisions about what should— and shouldn’t—exist along the shoreline in the future.

17 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM What does adaptation
look like?
Developing targeted solutions.

In climate change, adaptation is different
from mitigation, which are the ways we try to
reduce our carbon footprint. Adaptation refers to making changes to how we live in the face
of change to reduce hazards and increase
resilience to future conditions.

In the Joint Platform, adaptation specifically
means the plans and projects that either
prepare us for sea level rise or alter our shorelines to reduce its impacts.

In some cases, we will adapt by restoring
natural wetlands to absorb more water and
buffer us from storms, while in other places
when nature-based solutions are not feasible,
we will build higher protections, such as
seawalls, to keep water out. We may also
avoid building new roads or homes in areas
that are likely to flood or provide migration space for wetland habitats. Sometimes
adaptation may even require removing things
that are already built out of harm’s way.

Adaptation also will spur innovative solutions
as we learn how to co-exist with more water in the future.

The adaptation solutions we choose in one
part of the Bay are inextricably linked to
everywhere else along the shoreline. Since
the Bay is an interconnected system, flood
protection measures in one location of the
Bay may increase the risk of flooding in other areas. It is critical that we consider shoreline
solutions as a whole Bay, rather than on a
project-by-project basis.

Bay Adapt helps to set the stage for
successful adaptation region-wide. While
each community will need to decide which
approach is best now and over time, the actions
in Bay Adapt help support multiple adaptation
approaches within the larger regional context
we need to think about before it’s too late.

20 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM PEOPLE
As we adjust the way we live, work, and play to adapt to a changing climate, we must act together with a true regional vision and ensure that this transition does not reinforce pre- existing inequities. Who will lead who will decide, and how do we all get on the same page? Frontline communities that feel the most acute impacts from sea level rise have local knowledge critical for equitable solutions. Likewise, legislators in Sacramento and Washington need to hear our collective voice loud and clear—two-thirds of the State’s total sea level rise impacts will occur in the Bay Area, so our collective voice must be strong.

Collaborate on a “One Bay”
vision to adapt to rising sea
levels.

Goals:
‣ A shared vision for regional adaptation that reflects the Ba y A rea’s di verse c onditions and c ommunities. ‣ A proactive le gislative ag enda s upporting s ustained Bay Area adaptation.

TASK 1.1: Create a long-term regional vision rooted in
communities, bay habitats, and the economy.

Engage c ommunities and s takeholders in en visioning
a resilient future s horeline, r elying on gr assroots

Elevate communities to lead.

Goals:
‣ Adaptation grounded in local vision and needs.
‣ Increased capacity of c ommunity memb ers,
especially those hi storically e xcluded f rom
decision-making, to contribute t o t he pr ocess.
‣ Long-term funding that supports sustained
community leadership and equitable
partnerships among communities and
governments.

TASK 2.1: Improve how communities and public
agencies learn from each other and work together.

Build community capacity to influence g overnment
and support a region-wide t raining pr ogram le d
by communities and geared towards government
to shift values towards place-based expertise.

Adopt and share b est pr actices f or e quity-focused

Ensure t hat b est pr actices n urture meaning ful
relationships, center community concerns and
priorities, and make c ommunity and s ocial b enefits
clearer.

Support community leaders in raising awareness
and capacity within their own communities.

Host trainings for communities on sea level rise
risks, adaptation options, community storytelling,
and best practices for engaging effectively with
governments. Whenever possible, choose
community-based organizations (CBOs) or
community members to lead trainings geared
toward government and communities.

Training topics for agency staff m ay inclu de
general environmental justice and lo cal hi stories,
community mapping, culturally appropriate
communication, meaningful community
engagement at all phases of pl anning, u se o f
community benefit agreements, alternative
approaches to traditional cost-benefit analyses that

Also fund the c ommunity-led t raining pr ograms iden tified in T ask 2.1.

Consider state bu dget or b ond allo cations, le gislation, gr ants, development fees, or regional funding measures as sources of funding. Equity initiatives could receive a de dicated p ercentage of an y r esilience-focused f unding, f or e xample.

INFORMATION
Cities, landowners, residents and students all need to
understand how the latest science on sea level rise
applies to their lives and decisions. Understanding risks, consequences, options, and tradeoffs enables everyone to be part of the solution. We also need ways to share our stories, struggles, and successes as we confront climate change and learn to adapt. Stories of individual and
shared experiences of change are the foundation of future action. But where do we find and keep up with the latest science and these evolving stories? And how do we share the best of them?

Ideas for the Bay Area
The San Francisco Bay Restoration
Authority is a regional agency
created to fund shoreline projects that
will protect, restore, and enhance San
Francisco Bay through the allocation
of funds raised by the Measure AA
parcel tax. This parcel tax generates
$25 million in grants annually
for wetland restoration projects
throughout the region. The Restoration
Authority is overseen and staffed by
representatives from several Bay Area
government agencies with various
types of expertise and authority. The
Restoration Authority could either be
expanded to fund a wider variety of
adaptation projects or could serve as
a model for a new adaptation-focused
finance authority for the Bay. Learn

PROJECTS
Getting adaptation projects approved and built can
be challenging. Permitting and construction should
accelerate, not hold back, resilient shoreline adaptation projects that value ecosystems and people, align with the region’s vision and funding priorities, and apply innovative approaches. Measures to smooth and speed regulatory
approvals for multi-benefit projects are important. Other measures can help facilitate place-based collaboration
around project development and remove logistical
challenges to construction.

Refine and accelerate regulatory
approvals processes.

Goals:
‣ Less time and f ewer r esources s pent on p ermitting adaptation projects so they can be c onstructed

Ideas for the Bay Area
In 2016, BCDC completed Policies
for a Rising Bay, which outlines
the policy issues identified in the
Commission’s laws and policies in
light of new challenges, including sea
level rise. The report identifies four
policy issues where BCDC’s policies
were found to be inadequate regarding
risks associated with rising sea levels,
including:

1. Fill for Resilience and Adaptation -
Habitat Restoration and Protection

2. Fill for Resilience and Adaptation -
Innovative Shoreline Solutions

3. Environmental Justice and Social
Equity

4. Adaptive Management
In 2019, BCDC adopted its Fill for
Habitat and Environmental Justice
Bay Plan Amendments that formally
amended its regulatory program to
address these policy gaps.

PROGRESS
The cycle of adaptation never stops. Science evolves and we learn lessons from existing projects, often requiring updates to our plans and policies. But how do we know if our efforts have been successful, and whether everything is working out as planned? Tracking and learning from
our successes and failures will allow the region to adjust course, celebrate progress, maintain transparency, and
adapt to uncertainty. Accountability for how well we
achieve our collective adaptation goals goes hand-in-
hand with future support for this critical work.

ACTION 9
Track and report progress to guide
future actions.

Goals:
‣ A process for gathering feedback and measuring progress on local and regional adaptation efforts.
‣ Clarity on how to adapt plans and projects to changing conditions and outcomes.
‣ Enhanced monitoring of n ature-based pr ojects t o b etter understand the b enefits and ch allenges o f an e cosystems approach to adaptation.

TASK 9.1: Measure regional progress using metrics and share results.

Regularly check and report on adaptation progress based on the e stablished and s hared r egional me trics iden tified in T ask 1 .1.

Metrics should measure t he di fference b etween t oday’s “ baseline”— the r egion’s c urrent r isk pr ofile and ad aptation s tatus—and ch anges related to adaptation activities, or other measures of long- term sustainability. Also consider collecting qualitative r eports, s uch a s narratives and community feedback.

Resulting “report cards” should be t ransparent and under standable (through visually compelling online d ashboards) t o par tners, stakeholders and the public . W hen appr opriate, t hey s hould suggest ways to increase alignmen t w ith t he r egional v ision, s uch as changes to incentives (T asks 5.1 and 8 .1), f unding mo dels ( T ask

Ideas for the Bay Area
Pilot projects don’t have to be limited
to nature-based solutions. The San
Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit
District (BART) can serve as a model
for other agencies pursuing adaptation.

With limited funding and resources,
BART has conducted a number of pilot
projects to evaluate resiliency risks
and develop adaptation solutions. Pilot
findings have been used to inform
BART capital projects of risks. As a pilot
outcome, BART requires in the BART
Facilities Standards (BFS) that capital
projects account for SLR risk in their
designs. BART’s approach to leverage
existing data and partnerships to
maximize pilot outcomes are examples
of practices that can be shared and
benefit other agencies.

Leadership Advisory Leadership Advisory
Group (LAG)Group (LAG)
Bay Adapt was convened by the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) in partnership with a broad range of Bay Area leaders that comprise the Leadership Advisory Group (LAG). The LAG consists of leaders from public agencies, interest groups, community-based organizations, and academia and provides strategic direction, feedback, and leadership in implementing the Joint Platform actions.

The strategies in this document were developed by BCDC staff with nearly 100 stakeholders who participated in hundreds of hours of working group meetings. The strategies were also informed by one Public Forum, ten Community and Stakeholder Focus Groups, an Environmental Justice (EJ) Caucus which was convened regularly throughout the process, and many presentations to other region-wide existing groups consisting of local government staff and elected officials.

For a summary of feedback from the Public Forum, Community and Stakeholder Focus Groups, and a list of outreach presentations, visit the Bay Adapt website at www.bayadapt.org.

RESOLUTION NO. ________

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF BAY ADAPT: REGIONAL

STRATEGY FOR A RISING BAY
Climate change is accelerating rising sea levels, increasing storm frequency and intensity, and moving groundwater toward the surface. The confluence of more intense winter storms, extreme high tides, and higher runoff, with higher sea levels, will increase the frequency and duration of shoreline flooding long before areas are permanently inundated by sea level rise alone; and
A major storm within the next decade in the Bay Area could result in temporary flooding impacts to 13,000 existing housing units and 70,000 planned housing units, 28,000 socially vulnerable residents, 104,000 existing jobs and 85,000 planned jobs, and 20,000 acres of wetlands habitat that may become permanently inundated within 40 years; and
There are multiple local, regional, state, and federal government agencies with authority over the Bay and its shoreline, and while local governments have broad authority over shoreline land use, they have limited resources to address climate change adaptation; and
Individual local actions, absent a regional context in which to make policy decisions, will lead to a “tragedy of the commons”; and The San Francisco Bay Area is a vibrant, diverse, ecologically unique, innovative, and pioneering region that will be deeply and deleteriously affected by climate change without tremendous effort and investments to adapt to a constantly changing shoreline. The San Francisco Bay shoreline constitutes approximately one- third of the California coastline, but the Bay Area is estimated to experience two-thirds of the negative economic impacts due to the flooding that would occur absent adequate measures to adapt and protect people, places, and habitat; and The Bay Area region’s most socioeconomically vulnerable frontline communities are at the greatest risk of exposure to climate threats, and the impacts of historic and ongoing social and economic marginalization will compound the risks posed by flooding to those communities by reducing a community’s or individual’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and/or recover from a flood event; and
The Bay ecosystem is already stressed by human activities that have drastically lowered its adaptive capacity, and climate change will further alter that ecosystem by inundating or eroding remaining wetlands, changing sediment dynamics, altering species composition, increasing the acidity of Bay waters, changing freshwater flows and/or salinity, altering the food web, and impairing water quality. Moreover, further loss of tidal wetlands will increase the risk of shoreline flooding; and 242
RESOLUTION NO. ________
Flood damage to vital shoreline development, public infrastructure, and facilities such as neighborhoods, commercial centers, airports, seaports, regional transportation facilities, landfills, contaminated lands, and wastewater treatment facilities absent adaptation will require costly repairs and likely will result in the interruption or loss of vital services, large-scale social dislocation, and degraded environmental quality; and The increasingly frequent and severe impacts of climate change in the Bay Area do not conform to jurisdictional boundaries or the planning and regulatory authorities of any one agency or organization; and
In 2019, BCDC, in collaboration with a Leadership Advisory Group comprised of 35 Bay Area public, private, and non-profit leaders, embarked on the development of “Bay Adapt,” a consensus-driven strategy for regional sea level rise adaptation. The Leadership Advisory Group includes representatives from numerous public agencies, including the Association of Bay Area Governments/Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC/ABAG), San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, State Coastal Conservancy, Caltrans, BARC, BART, East Bay Regional Parks, US Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority, San Francisco Public Utility Commission, Marin County, and BCDC, as well as environmental justice, environmental, business, scientific, civic, organizations, local government and flood manager networks, and academia; and
In 2020 and 2021, hundreds of stakeholders participated in the creation of the “Bay Adapt Joint Platform” through nine Leadership Advisory Group meetings, two public forums, many expert Working Group meetings, ten community and stakeholder focus groups, over 50 presentations to local governments around the region, and a month-long public feedback opportunity; and
The Bay Adapt Joint Platform lays out a set of guiding principles, priority actions, and vital tasks whose implementation will enable the region, and most notably local governments, to adapt faster, better, and more equitably to a rising San Francisco Bay.

If fulfilled, it will reduce flood risks for communities, businesses, infrastructure, and habitat; increase technical assistance for local governments and funding for adaptation; protect natural areas and wildlife; recognize and equitably support low-income, frontline communities; robustly integrate adaptation into community-focused local plans; and, accelerate permitting and project construction of local adaptation projects; and The Bay Adapt Leadership Advisory Group supports the Joint Platform and many members agreed to help implement it at its October 2021 meeting, the BARC Governing Board endorsed it on September 17, 2021, and BCDC adopted the Joint Platform on October 21, 2021; and
Implementing the Joint Platform’s many and varied actions and tasks goes beyond the capacity of any single organization or jurisdiction, requires strong and diverse leadership and participation in all aspects of its implementation, and a broad coalition of stakeholders share responsibility for the success of the tasks outlined in the 243
RESOLUTION NO. ________
Joint Platform.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Livermore supports Bay Adapt Joint Platform, a regional strategy for a rising Bay, including the guiding principles, actions, and tasks contained within; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Livermore looks forward to championing and supporting the implementation of Bay Adapt to ensure that it serves the Bay Area as a whole in achieving resilient and equitable adaptation to sea level rise.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.1

DATE:

January 24, 2022
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Donald Hester, Acting Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:
7:05 P.M. - Second Public Hearing to receive an update on redistricting efforts, receive public input on the composition of City Council voting districts and communities of interest before maps are drafted, and provide initial direction to the City's demographer on the draft maps to be considered at the third public hearing

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1 .

Receive a report from staff, the City's consultant Tripepi, Smith & Associates, Inc., and Wagaman Strategies demographer on the redistricting process;
2 .

Conduct the second of two public hearings to receive input on the composition of voting districts before maps are drafted; and
3 .

Provide initial direction to the City's demographer on the composition of draft maps.

SUMMARY
Every ten years, cities with district-based elections are required to update ("redistrict") the district boundaries following the receipt of updated population data from the Federal Decennial Census to ensure the district boundaries remain substantially equal and still protect the rights of members of communities of interest to vote for candidates of their choice. Data from the 2020 census has been evaluated and the City Council must now complete the second of two public hearings before maps are drafted as part of the redistricting process. The City will host a General Municipal Election of November 8, 2022 and has until April 17, 2022 to adopt new district maps.

DISCUSSION
Background

In 2018, the Livermore City Council initiated the process to transition from an at-large to district-based election system to comply with the California Voting Rights Act of 2001. On November 26, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2078, amending Chapter 2.14 to Title 2 of the Livermore Municipal 245
Code, which transitioned the City to a district based election system and established a phased-in schedule. The November 2020 election was the first time voters participated in district-based elections.

Since that time, the State has enacted additional laws governing the redistricting process (including AB 1276 and AB 849) and the Federal Decennial Census was completed. To ensure district boundaries stay substantially equal and communities of interest are preserved, the City Council must now complete the redistricting process by April 17, 2022.

Language Requirements for Redistricting

Per Elections Code Section 21608, the City must provide language services in applicable languages, as provided by the Secretary of State. Pursuant to Elections Code Section 21608(h) applicable language requirements for city redistricting purposes include any language that is spoken by a group of residents over four years of age, for whom language can be determined, with limited English proficiency, who make up 3 percent or more of the City's total population.

On June 11, 2021 the Secretary of State provided guidance for Cities regarding these language requirements. Per the Secretary of State, the City of Livermore is not required to provide qualifying materials or live translation (interpretation) services in any additional languages. However, the City is committed to transparency and engagement and therefore Spanish interpretation services will automatically be available at all public hearings. Map materials have also been translated and social media posts are available in both English and Spanish. Any member of the public requesting accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), is asked to notify the ADA Coordinator at [email protected] or call (925) 960-4170 at least 3 business days in advance of the meeting.

Publication and Noticing Requirements for Public Hearings

Per Elections Code Section 21608(c) and 21608(g)(3), the City is required to "publish" the hearing date, time, and location 5 days in advance of the meeting on the internet (a website calendar satisfies this requirement). The City regularly publishes public hearing notices on the city website and in The Valley Times.

To increase public participation and good faith efforts from the City, the following notices have been published in addition to election code requirements:

The City has and continues to post redistricting information weekly on Facebook, Twitter, and Nextdoor in English and Spanish, with milestone posts boosted to increase reach The City published a half-page display ad in the Independent Newspaper regarding the redistricting process and how residents can get involved The City posted a notice of public hearing on the dedicated redistricting website and subscribers who signed up to receive r
edistricting updates were notified via email
The City has published a related press release inviting public participation for scheduled public hearings
Hearing dates and times are posted at all Livermore libraries, the Chamber of Commerce, and in the Downtown kiosks.

Mapping Tools and Participation Kits

246
California's new "Fair Maps Act" has significantly changed the criteria for mapping compared to the rules when Livermore first went through the transition from at-large to by-district elections. The City's demography consultant, Wagaman Strategies, has provided the mapping tools needed to empower residents to review draft maps and to develop and submit their own map proposals. The Public Participation Kit (paper kits) are available at City Hall and the Chamber of Commerce for residents that prefer to use a paper map or don't have access to internet. The Special Meeting Workshop showing how to use the DistrictR software is also available on the redistricting website at drawlivermore.org.

Additional Community Outreach Efforts

The City of Livermore hired professional redistricting consultants Wagaman Strategies and Tripepi, Smith & Associates to assist with managing the City's redistricting process and ensure overall compliance with data analysis, map creation, website administration, public outreach and timeline and noticing requirements. To date Tripepi, Smith & Associates and City staff have completed the following:

Weekly social media posts in English and Spanish
Calls to engage 60+ community organizations including the school district, local churches, senior living facilities, and non-profit organizations
Letters sent to all advisory body members encouraging their participation English and Spanish flyers published in Peachjar through the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District reaching 13,000+ email recipients with 426 views.

Map and community of interest paper kits have been made available at the Chamber of Commerce for residents to pick up
Deployment of redistricting kiosks at all Livermore Libraries where residents can submit an electronic map or pick up a paper mapping kit
City booths at the January 9th and 16th Livermore Downtown Sunday Farmer's Market to share information, provide map kits, and answer questions
Webpage banner published on Las Positas College homepage directing viewers to the City's dedicated redistricting website

Next Steps

After completion of the second public hearing on January 24, 2022, City staff will continue their community outreach efforts and heavily promote the City's online mapping tool for the public to submit their communities of interest. All proposed maps and communities of interest are due to the City by January 31, 2022 at 5:00 pm. At the third public hearing, scheduled for February 14, 2022, Wagaman Strategies will present draft versions of district boundary maps for both the public and the City Council to review and provide direction. Draft maps will be produced by the demographer and published to the districting website (drawlivermore.org) at least seven days in advance of each public hearing. Following the first reading of the Ordinance at the fourth public hearing on March 14, 2022, the City Council will be asked to adopt the final map at the March 28, 2022 Regular City Council Meeting. This final map will establish new district boundaries for Council Members, which will go into effect for the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election.

7 Things to Remember
Strive for population
equality. Be prepared to
justify deviations
Focus on traditional
criteria. Draw contiguous
districts that respect
communities, while using
understandable boundaries,
and are compact when
possible
Do not use race as the
predominant factor. Only
as one of many factors and
cannot subordinate other
redistricting criteria
