30 IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 2, CHAPTER 2.14, ELECTIONS, OF THE
LIVERMORE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS AND
AMENDING THE BOUNDARIES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DISTRICTS Every ten years, cities with by-district elections are required to use new census data to review and redraw district lines to reflect population changes.
This redistricting process ensures that all districts within a city have nearly an equal number of people residing within each district.
The City of Livermore transitioned to a district-based election system on November 26, 2018. As a result of the 2020 federal decennial census, the City Council is required to update the district boundaries prior to the November 8, 2022, General Municipal Election.
Although the City recently went through the districting process in 2018, the Council districts that were created reflected the population totals from the 2010 census.
Under the requirements of California Elections Code section 21608, the City created a redistricting website that included agendas, notices, draft maps, a hearing calendar, the procedure for submitting testimony, a recording of each hearing, meeting minutes, and public participation tools.
The City took specific steps to encourage residents, including those in underrepresented communities and non-English speaking communities, to participate in the redistricting process.
Pursuant to state law, the City held a total of five public hearings at the fixed time of 7:05 p.m., which included two public hearings regarding the potential voting district boundaries prior to the release and consideration of any draft voting district maps and two public hearings following the release of draft voting district maps. Spanish translation services were provided at all public hearings.
On October 11, 2021 and January 24, 2022, the City Council held public hearings to consider input from the public on the composition of the Council districts.
The City Council considered all oral and written information, testimony, and comments received during the public review process.
On February 4, 2022, the City published and made available for release, all of the draft maps under consideration. The draft maps were made available on the City’s website and the public was invited to provide comments. On February 14, 2022, the City Council considered the draft maps and comments received by the public and provided direction to the demographer to revise such maps. 31 On February 18, 2022, the City published four additional focus maps on the website and invited the public to provide comments.
At a public hearing on March 14, 2022, the City Council voted to proceed with a revised map.
On March 16, 2022, consistent with the provisions of California Elections Code section 21608(d)(1), the City published on the website the final map selected by the City Council. The final map was made available on the City’s website and the public was invited to provide comments seven days prior to the first reading of the ordinance.
Under the provisions of California Elections Code section 21607.1, a recording of each public hearing was made available immediately following each meeting and meeting minutes were posted immediately following City Council approval.
The City desires to amend Title 2, Chapter 2.14, Elections, of the Municipal Code to include revisions to district boundaries.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings and Declarations. The City Council finds and declares that the final map attached as Exhibit B to this resolution meets all of the requirements of state law including, but limited to, that the modified Council Districts:
A, Are substantially equal in population;
B. Comply with the U.S. Constitution, the California Constitution, and the federal Voting Rights Act;
C. Are geographically contiguous;
D. Minimize the division of local neighborhoods and local communities of interest;
E. Create district boundaries that residents can easily identify and understand;
F. Are compact in size; and
G. Are not adopted to favor or discriminate against a political party.
Section 2. Environmental. The City Council finds that the proposed amendments to the Livermore Municipal Code are exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. 32 Section 3. Amendment. Title 2, Chapter 2.14, Elections, of the Livermore Municipal Code is amended as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The deletions are shown using a strikethrough and the added language is shown with an underline, but the stricken language and underlines themselves shall not be codified in the Municipal Code, which publication shall only reflect the final language.
Section 4. Minor Adjustments. If necessary to facilitate the implementation of this Ordinance, the City Clerk is authorized to make minor adjustments to the district boundaries that do not substantively affect the populations in the districts, the eligibility of candidates, or the residence of elected officials within any district. The City Clerk shall consult with the City Manager and the City Attorney concerning any technical adjustments deemed necessary and shall advise the City Council of any such adjustments required in the implementation of the districts.
Section 5. Severability. If any part of this ordinance is declared invalid by a court, such invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining parts.
Section 6. Publication. This ordinance shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation of the City of Livermore within fifteen days after its adoption.
Section 7. Effective date. This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its adoption.
The foregoing ordinance was introduced at the meeting of the City Council of the City of Livermore held on March 28, 2022, by the following vote:

TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:
Resolutions authorizing the acceptance of grant funds from Alameda County Transportation Commission for the Robertson Park/Concannon and Epson/Concannon Crossing Improvements and approving an appropriation of $217,000 for the Concannon Blvd. at Robertson Park Rd. Crossing Enhancements Active Transportation Plan (ATP), Project Number 2021-35.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt resolutions:
1 .
Authorizing the City Manager or designee to sign all grant documents and accept funds from Alameda County Transportation Commission for the Robertson Park/Concannon and Epson/Concannon Crossing Improvements; and
2 .
Approving an appropriation of $217,000 for the Concannon Blvd. at Robertson Park Rd. Crossing Enhancements ATP, Project Number 2021-35, in FY 2022-23.
SUMMARY
The City applied for and was awarded $323,000 in the Alameda County Transportation Commission's (Alameda CTC) 2022 Comprehensive Investment Plan Grant (Grant) for the Robertson Park/Concannon and Epson/Concannon Crossing Improvements. These improvements are identified as high priorities in the City’s 2018 Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Trails Active Transportation Plan.
Alameda CTC’s Grant Program requires the grantee to authorize, by resolution, the acceptance of the grant. The Grant requires a 25% local match. The crossing improvements will be completed under Concannon Blvd. at Robertson Park Rd. Crossing Enhancements ATP, Project Number 2021-35, and an appropriation in the amount of $217,000 in FY 2022-23 is required to begin implementation of the crossing improvements.
DISCUSSION
Concannon Boulevard is a major east-west arterial roadway which serves the southern portion of the 40 city. The pedestrian crossings on Concannon Boulevard at Robertson Park Road and at Epson Street are identified in the City’s 2018 Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Trails Active Transportation Plan (ATP) as high priority intersections for crossing improvements. The ATP proposes curb bulb-outs, signing and striping improvements at both intersections with a new rectangular rapid flashing beacon system with pedestrian/bicycle actuation buttons at Concannon Boulevard and Robertson Park Road. Improvements to both intersections will provide better connectivity from the trail on the east side of Concannon Boulevard to Robertson Park Road and will provide pedestrians a safer route from the residential neighborhood on the south side of Concannon Boulevard to Karl Wente Park and Sunset Elementary School on the north.
The Alameda CTC is responsible for the planning, programming and allocation of federal, state, regional, and transportation sales tax funding for transportation improvements throughout Alameda County. The city applied for and was awarded $323,000 in Alameda CTC's 2022 Comprehensive Investment Plan Grant (Grant) for these proposed crosswalk improvements. If approved by the City Council, the project design and environmental assessment will be completed in FY 2022-23 and construction will start in FY 2022-23 and be completed by the grant expenditure deadline of December 2023.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable. CEQA review and determination will be completed for the project in the design phase.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The Alameda CTC’s Grant requires a 25% local match. This project was considered in the preparation of the FY 2021-23 Capital Improvement Plan, but no funding was recommended at the time of adoption.
The estimated total project cost is $435,000 and staff is requesting a budget appropriation of $162,000, a portion of the awarded grant from Local & Other Grants (F624), and $55,000 in Gas Tax-SB1 (F651), for a total appropriation of $217,000 in FY 2022-23. The proposed Gas Tax-SB1 funding would satisfy the 25% local match requirement. An appropriation of $218,000 to complete the project will be requested with the adoption of FY 2023-25 Capital Improvement Plan.

A. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Bay Area County Traffic and Transportation Funding Act, Public Utilities Code Section 131000, et seq., approved Measure B at the General Election held in November 1986, authorizing the collection of a one-half cent transaction and use tax over a fifteen (15)-year period to address major transportation needs and congestion in Alameda County and giving Alameda County Transportation Authority (“ACTA”) the responsibility for the administration of the proceeds of the tax. The proceeds from the 1986 Measure B tax have been and continue to be used to pay for investments as outlined in the 1986 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan (“1986 TEP”), as it may be amended. Although collection of the 1986 Measure B tax ceased in 2002, capital projects funded wholly or in part by 1986 Measure B funds are still being delivered using these funds.
B. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Local Transportation Authority and Improvement Act, Public Utilities Code Section 180000, et seq., approved the reauthorization of Measure B at the General Election held on November 7, 2000, authorizing the collection of a one-half cent transaction and use tax to be collected for twenty (20) years beginning April 1, 2002 and giving Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (“ACTIA”) responsibility for the administration of the proceeds of the tax.. The proceeds from the 2000 Measure B tax have been and continue to be used to pay for investments as outlined in the 2000 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan (“2000 TEP”), as it may be amended.

On that same date, the ACTIA and ACCMA Boards took the final actions to create ALAMEDA CTC, a joint powers authority with all responsibilities of ACTIA and ACCMA. Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the ACTIA and ACCMA Boards and the Commission of ALAMEDA CTC, ACCMA and ACTIA were terminated as of the close of business on February 29, 2012, with ALAMEDA CTC designated as the successor entity. All of its predecessors’ functions and responsibilities have been assigned to, and accepted by, ALAMEDA CTC.

14. Each Right-of-Way transaction which is funded either wholly or in part with ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS shall be subject to repayment or reimbursement to ALAMEDA CTC under ALAMEDA CTC Policies in effect as of the effective date of this AGREEMENT, irrespective of the party holding title to the real estate which is the subject of the Right-of-Way transaction in question. The parties agree that Section III.15(a) through Section III.15(f), the provisions of which are intended to provide further detail regarding the application of such Policies, shall govern the extent to which such repayment is required and the conditions applicable to any such repayment. If such Policies are amended after the effective date of this A
GREEMENT by ALAMEDA CTC, the PROJECT SPONSOR and ALAMEDA CTC shall execute an amendment to this AGREEMENT which references the revised Policies.
15. For the purposes of the following provisions, “A
LAMEDA CTC Share” shall mean the
percentage share of the original property purchase price funded by ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS (i.e., if the purchase was fully funded by ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS, ALAMEDA CTC Share shall equal 100%); any appraisal required under Section III.15(a) and Section III.15(f) only, shall be conducted at no cost to A
LAMEDA CTC; “Fair Market Value” of a given property shall mean the net proceeds from the sale of such property if such sale occurs in an open market transaction or by auction, or the value of the property determined by an independent third-party appraisal of the property if some or all of the property is retained by PROJECT SPONSOR or otherwise transferred to any other party without an auction or open market transaction; and “CPI” means the Consumer Price Index, All Items for All Urban Consumers, San Francisco- Oakland, San Jose, CA.
a. If any property is acquired for the P
ROJECT using ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS
to finance some or all of the acquisition, and the PROJECT is cancelled or otherwise does not begin construction within five (5) years after the effective date of AGREEMENT (as such deadline may be extended by agreement between the parties hereto), then PROJECT SPONSOR shall, within one (1) year after such cancellation decision or the expiration of such five (5) year period, reimburse ALAMEDA CTC for the greater of the following:
ALAMEDA CTC Share of the property’s Fair Market Value or the full amount of ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS used to acquire the property, as escalated by the increase in the CPI during the most recent period for which CPI data is available which is equal in length to the period between the date A
LAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS were paid
to PROJECT SPONSOR and the date reimbursement is made to ALAMEDA CTC.
b. If any property is acquired for the PROJECT using ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS to finance some or all of the acquisition and only a portion of the acquired property is required for the P
ROJECT, and if the PROJECT begins construction within five (5) years after the effective date of this AGREEMENT (as such deadline may be extended by agreement between the parties hereto), then PROJECT SPONSOR shall, within one (1) year after PROJECT completion, reimburse ALAMEDA CTC for ALAMEDA CTC Share of the Fair Market Value of any property determined to be “excess property”.

c. If the PROJECT begins construction within five (5) years after the effective date of this AGREEMENT (as such deadline may be extended by agreement between the parties hereto), then except as provided in subparagraph (d) below, no reimbursement is due with respect to any property interest acquired for the project using ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS if the entirety of the acquired property is required for the PROJECT.
d. If PROJECT SPONSOR anticipates receiving net revenues (i.e., rental or other income generated by the property, less reasonable costs for insurance, maintenance and related items) from any property acquired using A
LAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS,
PROJECT SPONSOR shall notify ALAMEDA CTC on how PROJECT SPONSOR will use such revenue to offset other project costs, and document such revenue separately in project reimbursement requests.
e. If P
ROJECT is suspended, PROJECT SPONSOR shall pay all property management costs.
f. Property that is required for the PROJECT and acquired wholly or in part with ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS shall be available for PROJECT construction within ten (10) years of ALAMEDA CTC reimbursement to the PROJECT SPONSOR. If, after ten (10) years, PROJECT has not been completed, PROJECT SPONSOR shall reimburse ALAMEDA CTC Share of the fair market value of the property, based on the net proceeds from the sale of the property or an appraisal of the property conducted at no cost to A
LAMEDA CTC,
within one (1) year after the expiration of this ten (10) year period.
16. If condemnation procedures are required to obtain possession to Right-of-Way, A LAMEDA
CTC will consider the required deposit as an eligible cost and reimburse the PROJECT SPONSOR upon request.
PROJECT SPONSOR shall submit documentation of the final order of condemnation settlement within ninety (90) days after the date of the court recording of the final order of condemnation. If the amount of A
LAMEDA CTC reimbursement to the PROJECT SPONSOR is higher than ALAMEDA CTC Share of the amount of settlement in the final order of condemnation, the PROJECT SPONSOR shall pay ALAMEDA CTC the difference between the amount reimbursed and ALAMEDA CTC Share of the amount settled plus ALAMEDA CTC Share of the interest accrued to the deposit account within one (1) year of the final order of condemnation.
17. P
ROJECT SPONSOR shall not initiate condemnation of any property until full funding for the construction of the PROJECT has been secured.
18. Reimbursement to PROJECT SPONSOR by ALAMEDA CTC for PROJECT Right-of-Way is limited to the following (and net of any relocation payments provided by other sources):
a. The cost to purchase all real property required for the PROJECT free and clear of liens and/or conflicting easements, including the costs for preparation of documents, negotiations and legal services.

c. The cost of relocation payments and services provided to owners and occupants pursuant to the appropriate State laws and regulations when the PROJECT displaces an individual, family, business, farm operation or nonprofit organization.
d. The cost of demolition and/or the sale of all improvements on the right-of-way. Proceeds from the sale of any such improvements shall be credited to the PROJECT and used to offset PROJECT costs.
e. The cost of all unavoidable utility relocation, protection or removal necessary for the completion of the PROJECT.
f. The cost of all necessary hazardous material and hazardous waste treatment, encapsulation or removal and protective storage for which PROJECT SPONSOR accepts responsibility and where the actual generator cannot be identified and recovery made.
19. If PROJECT SPONSOR materially breaches this AGREEMENT, including but not limited to failing to deliver the PROJECT within the schedule defined by this AGREEMENT without compelling reason, failing to file required progress reports in the time specified by this AGREEMENT, or failing to comply with applicable regulations, ALAMEDA CTC may either terminate this AGREEMENT or suspend payments to PROJECT SPONSOR until such time as PROJECT SPONSOR makes reasonable efforts to comply with this AGREEMENT.
20. Neither ALAMEDA CTC, nor its governing body or any officer, consultant, or employee thereof shall be responsible for any damage or liability occurring by reason of anything done or omitted to be done by PROJECT SPONSOR in connection with the PROJECT. It is also understood and agreed, pursuant to Government Code Section 895.4, PROJECT SPONSOR shall fully defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless ALAMEDA CTC, its governing body, and all its officers, employees, agents, representatives, and successors-in- interest, against any and all liability, loss, expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, or claims for injury (as defined in Government Code Section 810.8) or damages occurring by reason of anything done or omitted to be done by PROJECT SPONSOR in connection with PROJECT, including the performance of the PROJECT or operation or use of the equipment that is subject to this AGREEMENT.

2451 Portola Avenue. Parents with school children crossing at this intersection have voiced safety concerns given the speed of traffic and the width of Portola Avenue. The City funds an adult School Crossing Guard at this location.
The Alameda CTC is responsible for the Safe Routes to School Program in Alameda County. In 2019, Alameda CTC conducted a school site safety assessment around Lawrence Elementary School and identified a number of improvements, including Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, yield markings, realignment of crosswalk, curb extensions, and median island to help increase driver awareness of pedestrians, increase compliance in yielding to pedestrians, and shortening the distance and time the pedestrians are in the roadway.
In 2020, the city implemented interim improvements consisting of additional traffic signs and markings, a painted median refuge, and tree trimming to enhance visibility to the crosswalk. The city also applied and was awarded a $101,000 Grant from Alameda CTC for the Lawrence Elementary School Safe Routes to School Improvements at Portola Avenue and Enos Way, which will implement the permanent improvements.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable. CEQA review and determination will be completed for the project in the design phase.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
T
he funding for the Crosswalk Safety Improvements 2022, Project Number 2022-06, is programmed in the FY 2021-23 Capital Improvement Plan with a budget allocation of $150,000 in Local Vehicle Registration Fee (F681). Staff was successful in securing $101,000 of Alameda CTC’s Safe Route to School Grant and is requesting a supplemental appropriation from Gas Tax SB1 (F651) in FY 2022-23 to expedite the project’s schedule. The Alameda CTC’s Grant requires a 1-1 local match. The grant funds must be expended before December 2023.
A revised budget allocation of $123,000 is requested for FY 2022-23 and an appropriation of $137,000 will be requested for the subsequent Capital Improvement Plan for a total project budget cost of $260,000. Appropriation of $61,500 in Local & Other Grants (F624) and an appropriation of $61,500 in Gas Tax-SB1 (F651) to supplant the previously approved appropriation of $150,000 in Local Vehicle Registration Fees (F681) in FY 2022-23 is required to begin utilizing the awarded grant. The project design, environmental, and starting of construction will occur in FY 2022-2023. An appropriation of approximately $137,000 to complete project construction will be requested with the FY 2023-25 Capital Improvement Plan, which the City Council will consider in spring 2023.

A. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Bay Area County Traffic and Transportation Funding Act, Public Utilities Code Section 131000, et seq., approved Measure B at the General Election held in November 1986, authorizing the collection of a one-half cent transaction and use tax over a fifteen (15)-year period to address major transportation needs and congestion in Alameda County and giving Alameda County Transportation Authority (“ACTA”) the responsibility for the administration of the proceeds of the tax. The proceeds from the 1986 Measure B tax have been and continue to be used to pay for investments as outlined in the 1986 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan (“1986 TEP”), as it may be amended. Although collection of the 1986 Measure B tax ceased in 2002, capital projects funded wholly or in part by 1986 Measure B funds are still being delivered using these funds.
B. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Local Transportation Authority and Improvement Act, Public Utilities Code Section 180000, et seq., approved the reauthorization of Measure B at the General Election held on November 7, 2000, authorizing the collection of a one-half cent transaction and use tax to be collected for twenty (20) years beginning April 1, 2002 and giving Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (“ACTIA”) responsibility for the administration of the proceeds of the tax.. The proceeds from the 2000 Measure B tax have been and continue to be used to pay for investments as outlined in the 2000 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan (“2000 TEP”), as it may be amended.
C. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to Section 65089.20 of the Government Code, approved Measure F, the Vehicle Registration Fee (“VRF”), authorizing Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (“ACCMA”) to administer the proceeds from a $10 per year vehicle registration fee on

2 021 PFA Version
each annual motor-vehicle registration in Alameda County, starting with registrations effective July 2011 with collection beginning in May 2011, six months following approval of Measure F. Vehicles subject to the VRF include all motorized vehicles, including passenger cars, light-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, buses of all sizes, motorcycles, and motorized camper homes, unless vehicles are expressly exempted from the payment of the VRF.
D. By resolutions adopted by the ACTA and ACTIA Boards on June 24, 2010, all of ACTA’s functions and responsibilities were assigned to, and accepted by, ACTIA. On that same date, the ACTIA and ACCMA Boards took the final actions to create ALAMEDA CTC, a joint powers authority with all r
esponsibilities of ACTIA and ACCMA. Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the ACTIA and ACCMA Boards and the Commission of ALAMEDA CTC, ACCMA and ACTIA were terminated as of the close of b
usiness on February 29, 2012, with ALAMEDA CTC designated as the successor entity. All of its p

roceeds of the 2014 Measure BB tax. The duration of the 2014 Measure BB tax will be 30 years from the initial year of collection, which began April 1, 2015, with said tax to terminate/expire on March 31, 2045.

F. As the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (“TFCA”) Program Manager in Alameda County, ALAMEDA CTC annually programs 40 percent of the TFCA funds collected in Alameda County. ALAMEDA CTC receives these funds from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (“BAAQMD”), and then d
istributes these funds on a reimbursement basis to eligible project sponsors.
G. A LAMEDA CTC is continuing the implementation of the CMA Exchange Program, originally e
stablished by the ACCMA, for the purpose of providing local or otherwise unrestricted funds to ALAMEDA CTC for use in projects and programs adopted into the CMA Transportation Improvement Program (“CMA T
IP”) by ALAMEDA CTC.

Administrative amendment requests sent to ALAMEDA CTC must include a revised Appendix A:
Project Control Information which reflects the requested changes by the PROJECT SPONSOR.
3. For the purposes of this A
GREEMENT, (i) a “Contract” shall mean and refer to a third party agreement with the PROJECT SPONSOR for services related to PROJECT, including agreements with another public agency, consultant firm, contractor or entity; (ii) “PROJECT SPONSOR Staff” costs include costs for staff dedicated directly to project implementation, management, oversight, and/or project development and may include direct costs including contracted services, such as legal counsel, that are considered an extension of PROJECT SPONSOR Staff; (iii) “Capital” with respect to any Right-of-Way Capital phase shall mean and refer to the cost to acquire real property, access rights and other property interests; and (iv) “Agreement Expiration Date” shall mean and refer to the expiration date of this AGREEMENT.
4. Reimbursable costs will be limited to the costs shown in Appendix A: Project Control Information. Funds expended for work directly related to the phases of the PROJECT covered by this AGREEMENT prior to the applicable allowable start date identified in Appendix B: ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS Obligated by this AGREEMENT are ineligible for reimbursement pursuant to this AGREEMENT. ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS obligated by this AGREEMENT are subject to fund availability and any new requirements and policies imposed by ALAMEDA CTC. The AGREEMENT shall be amended, as necessary, to reflect the applicable requirements.
5. If additional local, state or federal funding is obtained to partially offset A
LAMEDA CTC
ADMINISTERED FUNDS planned for the PROJECT, ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS will not be transferred from the PROJECT until after it is ensured that all phases of the PROJECT can be fully delivered.

7. For TFCA funds obligated by this AGREEMENT, this AGREEMENT is subject to the current BAAQMD-approved TFCA County Program Manager Fund Policies included in Appendix G:
Transportation Fund for Clean Air Policies and Requirements and any new requirements imposed by the BAAQMD upon ALAMEDA CTC with respect to the TFCA funds distributed hereunder. ALAMEDA CTC will only distribute TFCA funds under this AGREEMENT to the extent the documented project costs are eligible under the applicable BAAQMD TFCA Policies.
8. The laws of the State of California shall govern this AGREEMENT.
9. All correspondence and communications will contain ALAMEDA CTC project number and name for PROJECT in a clearly identifiable location. For projects with TFCA funds obligated by this AGREEMENT, all correspondence and communications will also contain the TFCA project number as identified in Appendix G: Transportation Fund for Clean Air Policies and Requirements.
10. ALAMEDA CTC reserves the right to conduct technical and financial audits of PROJECT work and records when determined to be necessary or appropriate and PROJECT SPONSOR agrees, and shall require its contractors and subcontractors to agree, to cooperate with ALAMEDA CTC by making all appropriate and relevant PROJECT records promptly available for audit and copying.
11. PROJECT costs incurred by PROJECT SPONSOR are only eligible for reimbursement on a pro- rated basis unless specifically provided for in Appendix A: Project Control Information, and P ROJECT SPONSOR is expected to concurrently seek reimbursement from the other sources shown in Project A: Project Control Information. Pro-rated basis, as used herein, equals the amount of A LAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS obligated by this A GREEMENT to a phase, divided by the total funding for the phase, as shown in Appendix A: Project Control Information. For any Request for Reimbursement which includes such expenditures, PROJECT SPONSOR shall (i) report the total expenditures during the reimbursement period, (ii) indicate the percentage of the total expenditures for the phase expected to be funded by A LAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS obligated by this AGREEMENT, and (iii) request reimbursement for the dollar amount which equals the product of such total expenditures and such percentage.
12. A
LAMEDA CTC approval of PROJECT SPONSOR submitted Requests for Reimbursement will be contingent on the submittal of progress reports and deliverables by PROJECT SPONSOR as required by this AGREEMENT. In the event that progress reports and deliverables are not complete and current, approval of Requests for Reimbursement shall be withheld until an acceptable remedy has been implemented and approved by ALAMEDA CTC. If PROJECT SPONSOR fails to submit the required deliverables or otherwise fails to meet the reporting and invoicing requirements of this AGREEMENT, ALAMEDA CTC may deobligate funds from the PROJECT and this AGREEMENT. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such action, ALAMEDA CTC will endeavor to notify PROJECT SPONSOR in writing that the required deliverables, invoicing and reporting is overdue.
13. Request for Reimbursements submitted after the Agreement Expiration Date identified in Appendix B: Alameda CTC Administered Funds Obligated by this AGREEMENT will be ineligible for reimbursement by ALAMEDA CTC unless an exception is requested by the PROJECT SPONSOR no less than sixty (60) days before the Agreement Expiration Date, and the exception is approved by ALAMEDA CTC.

ALAMEDA CTC will deobligate any remaining ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS from PROJECT and this AGREEMENT.
14.

The parties agree that Section III.15(a) through Section III.15(f), the provisions of which are intended to provide further detail regarding the application of such Policies, shall govern the extent to which such repayment is required and the conditions applicable to any such repayment. If such Policies are amended after the effective date of this A

15. For the purposes of the following provisions, “A
LAMEDA CTC Share” shall mean the
percentage share of the original property purchase price funded by ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS (i.e., if the purchase was fully funded by ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS, ALAMEDA CTC Share shall equal 100%); any appraisal required under Section III.15(a) and Section III.15(f) only, shall be conducted at no cost to A
LAMEDA CTC; “Fair Market Value” of a given property shall mean the net proceeds from the sale of such property if such sale occurs in an open market transaction or by auction, or the value of the property determined by an independent third-party appraisal of the property if some or all of the property is retained by PROJECT SPONSOR or otherwise transferred to any other party without an auction or open market transaction; and “CPI” means the Consumer Price Index, All Items for All Urban Consumers, San Francisco- Oakland, San Jose, CA.
a. If any property is acquired for the P
ROJECT using ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS
to finance some or all of the acquisition, and the PROJECT is cancelled or otherwise does not begin construction within five (5) years after the effective date of AGREEMENT (as such deadline may be extended by agreement between the parties hereto), then PROJECT SPONSOR shall, within one (1) year after such cancellation decision or the expiration of such five (5) year period, reimburse ALAMEDA CTC for the greater of the following:
ALAMEDA CTC Share of the property’s Fair Market Value or the full amount of ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS used to acquire the property, as escalated by the increase in the CPI during the most recent period for which CPI data is available which is equal in length to the period between the date A
LAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS were paid
to PROJECT SPONSOR and the date reimbursement is made to ALAMEDA CTC.
b. If any property is acquired for the PROJECT using ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS to finance some or all of the acquisition and only a portion of the acquired property is required for the P
ROJECT, and if the PROJECT begins construction within five (5) years after the effective date of this AGREEMENT (as such deadline may be extended by agreement between the parties hereto), then PROJECT SPONSOR shall, within one (1) year after PROJECT completion, reimburse ALAMEDA CTC for ALAMEDA CTC Share of the Fair Market Value of any property determined to be “excess property”.

If the PROJECT begins construction within five (5) years after the effective date of this AGREEMENT (as such deadline may be extended by agreement between the parties hereto), then except as provided in subparagraph (d) below, no reimbursement is due with respect to any property interest acquired for the project using ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS if the entirety of the acquired property is required for the PROJECT.
d. If PROJECT SPONSOR anticipates receiving net revenues (i.e., rental or other income generated by the property, less reasonable costs for insurance, maintenance and related items) from any property acquired using A
LAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS,
PROJECT SPONSOR shall notify ALAMEDA CTC on how PROJECT SPONSOR will use such revenue to offset other project costs, and document such revenue separately in project reimbursement requests.
e. If P
ROJECT is suspended, PROJECT SPONSOR shall pay all property management costs.
f. Property that is required for the PROJECT and acquired wholly or in part with ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS shall be available for PROJECT construction within ten (10) years of ALAMEDA CTC reimbursement to the PROJECT SPONSOR. If, after ten (10) years, PROJECT has not been completed, PROJECT SPONSOR shall reimburse ALAMEDA CTC Share of the fair market value of the property, based on the net proceeds from the sale of the property or an appraisal of the property conducted at no cost to A
LAMEDA CTC,
within one (1) year after the expiration of this ten (10) year period.
16. If condemnation procedures are required to obtain possession to Right-of-Way, A LAMEDA
CTC will consider the required deposit as an eligible cost and reimburse the PROJECT SPONSOR upon request.
PROJECT SPONSOR shall submit documentation of the final order of condemnation settlement within ninety (90) days after the date of the court recording of the final order of condemnation. If the amount of A
LAMEDA CTC reimbursement to the PROJECT SPONSOR is higher than ALAMEDA CTC Share of the amount of settlement in the final order of condemnation, the PROJECT SPONSOR shall pay ALAMEDA CTC the difference between the amount reimbursed and ALAMEDA CTC Share of the amount settled plus ALAMEDA CTC Share of the interest accrued to the deposit account within one (1) year of the final order of condemnation.
17. P
ROJECT SPONSOR shall not initiate condemnation of any property until full funding for the construction of the PROJECT has been secured.

c. The cost of relocation payments and services provided to owners and occupants pursuant to the appropriate State laws and regulations when the PROJECT displaces an individual, family, business, farm operation or nonprofit organization.
d. The cost of demolition and/or the sale of all improvements on the right-of-way. Proceeds from the sale of any such improvements shall be credited to the PROJECT and used to offset PROJECT costs.
e. The cost of all unavoidable utility relocation, protection or removal necessary for the completion of the PROJECT.
f. The cost of all necessary hazardous material and hazardous waste treatment, encapsulation or removal and protective storage for which PROJECT SPONSOR accepts responsibility and where the actual generator cannot be identified and recovery made.
19. If PROJECT SPONSOR materially breaches this AGREEMENT, including but not limited to failing to deliver the PROJECT within the schedule defined by this AGREEMENT without compelling reason, failing to file required progress reports in the time specified by this AGREEMENT, or failing to comply with applicable regulations, ALAMEDA CTC may either terminate this AGREEMENT or suspend payments to PROJECT SPONSOR until such time as PROJECT SPONSOR makes reasonable efforts to comply with this AGREEMENT.
20. Neither ALAMEDA CTC, nor its governing body or any officer, consultant, or employee thereof shall be responsible for any damage or liability occurring by reason of anything done or omitted to be done by PROJECT SPONSOR in connection with the PROJECT. It is also understood and agreed, pursuant to Government Code Section 895.4, PROJECT SPONSOR shall fully defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless ALAMEDA CTC, its governing body, and all its officers, employees, agents, representatives, and successors-in- interest, against any and all liability, loss, expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, or claims for injury (as defined in Government Code Section 810.8) or damages occurring by reason of anything done or omitted to be done by PROJECT SPONSOR in connection with PROJECT, including the performance of the PROJECT or operation or use of the equipment that is subject to this AGREEMENT.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 4.5
DATE:
April 11, 2022
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Anwan Baker, Library Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution ratifying an agreement with the California State Library to accept a $27,274 grant to be used to support the Livermore Public Library's English as a Second Language (ESL) programs and services, and approving appropriation of these funds during FY 2021-22
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution:
1 .
Ratifying the City's acceptance of $27,274 in grant funds from the California State Library to be used by the Livermore Public Library for English as a Second Language (ESL) services, supplies, supports, and programs.
2 .
Approving the appropriation authorizing the expenditure of the accepted funds in FY 2021-22.
SUMMARY
The California State Library has made funds available to libraries within the State for use in developing and supporting ESL programs and services. Of these available funds, the State determined that the City of Livermore was eligible to receive $27,274.
The California State Library dictates that these funds should be distributed to recipient libraries and expended by the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 2022.
Due to the timing of the announcement of the availability of these funds, the time needed to prepare an item for City Council consideration, and the State’s request for the Library to submit their required agreement as soon as possible, the City reviewed and executed the agreement prior to City Council consideration with plans to seek ratification of the agreement. Ratification of the agreement is now required to formally accept the referenced grant funds.
As these funds were unanticipated, the City could not have entered these items into the budget at the beginning of the fiscal year; upon ratification of the executed agreement, the appropriation of these funds for expenditure during the current fiscal is required.
113
DISCUSSION
The Livermore Public Library's strategic objectives state that the Library will promote literacy in all its forms to help people fulfill their life goals and be more active and engaged community members; will affirm equity and inclusion by reflecting the diverse local community in staffing, materials, and services offered; and will enable all community members to participate in and benefit from library services by increasing their awareness of and accessibility to these resources. Efforts to support English learners are among the most important activities of the Library and they meet all three strategic objectives.
Accepting grants from the California State Library is a logical undertaking in that it allows the Livermore Public Library to be more and do more for community members who have taken the first step to improve their personal outcomes.
In addition to covering the salaries and benefits of those employees directly working with and supporting English learners and tutors, funds will be used for supplies, guides, materials, and learning supports.
Funds will also be used for an online database that will help manage, support, and assist learners and their assigned tutors, while also measuring the impact of the combined efforts.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Of the $27,274 in proposed grant funds, $14,774 has been designated to cover salary and benefits of Library staff members who are supporting ESL efforts. These efforts include direct support to English learners, tutor trainings, and statistical/database tracking. Staff hours needed for Library efforts have not yet been finalized, but the grant funds will result in a reduction in the use of general funds for Library salaries.

A RESOLUTION RATIFYING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY TO ACCEPT A $27,274 GRANT TO BE USED TO SUPPORT THE LIVERMORE PUBLIC LIBRARY’S ENGLISH

APPROVING APPROPRIATION OF THESE FUNDS DURING FISCAL
YEAR 2021-2022
The California State Library has made funds available to libraries within the State for use in developing and supporting ESL programs and services. Of these available funds, the State determined that the City of Livermore was eligible to receive $27,274.
The California State Library decided that these funds should be distributed to recipient libraries and expended by the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 2022.
Due to the timing of the announcement of the availability of these funds, the time needed to prepare an item for City Council consideration, and the State’s request for the Library to submit their required agreement as soon as possible, the City reviewed and executed the agreement prior to City Council consideration with plans to seek ratification of the agreement. Ratification of the agreement is now required to formally accept the referenced grant funds.
As these funds were unanticipated, the City could not have entered these items into the budget at the beginning of the fiscal year; upon ratification of the executed agreement, the appropriation of these funds for expenditure during the current fiscal is required.
Receiving and utilizing these funds to improve literacy programs and services and improve outcomes for our community members who are non-English speakers promotes growth and acceptance and is directly in alignment with the Library’s strategic objective to promote literacy in all its forms to help people fulfill their life goals and be more active and engaged community members.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Livermore hereby ratifies City's acceptance of $27,274 in grant funds from the California State Library to be used by the Livermore Public Library for English as a Second Language (ESL) services, supplies, supports, and programs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Livermore hereby approves the appropriation authorizing the expenditure of the accepted funds during fiscal year 2021-2022.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 4.6
DATE:

TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Brandon Cardwell, Innovation and Economic Development Director SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with artist Cecilia Lueza, for the acquisition and oversight of the installation of the outdoor art sculpture entitled "Influx" at the entry point to Livermore's Springtown District, in an amount not-to-exceed $40,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute the Artwork Acquisition Agreement with the artist Cecilia Lueza in the not-to-exceed amount of $40,000, which is budgeted as part of the Citywide Sculptures Project #202122 of FY 2021-23 Capital Improvement Plan, and covered by City Public Art Funds.
SUMMARY
On July 9, 2021, the City of Livermore Commission for the Arts issued a Call for Artists and invited qualified artists to submit proposals for an outdoor sculpture to be placed at one of the entry points into Livermore’s Springtown District. The sculpture is one of four projects identified in the Citywide Sculptures Project #202122 in the FY 2021-23 Capital Improvement Plan. The total budget for this sculpture project is up to $125,000, including $40,000 for acquisition of the sculpture, which will be covered by the Public Art Fund (Fund 608). The balance of the project cost is dedicated to installation and is already programmed in the Capital Improvement Plan budget.
On August 20, 2021, staff received 61 proposals that were reviewed by the Ad Hoc Committee of the Commission for the Arts (Commission). The top three finalists were presented to the Commission, which selected "Influx" by Cecilia Lueza as the preferred choice for the Springtown Sculpture.
Under the Agreement, the artist Cecilia Lueza will fabricate and deliver Influx to the City, provide all components necessary to anchor the Artwork to the foundation, and provide oversight of the installation to the satisfaction of the City and in substantial conformance with Artist’s Design Proposal. The actual installation process will be managed by the City's Engineering Division.
DISCUSSION
145
On July 9, 2021, in an effort to include all areas of the community when considering art installations, the Commission for the Arts (Commission) issued its first request for proposals that focused on a site in the Springtown area of Livermore.
Qualified artists were invited to submit their proposals for the Outdoor Sculpture Project in Springtown through the Western States Arts Federation's website www.callforentry.org. The budget for the artwork acquisition was $40,000, including all costs related to the artist's design, supplies, materials, fabrication, transportation, and delivery of the sculpture, as well as insurance required by the City of Livermore and all other costs associated with the art project. Installation, identification plaque, and ongoing maintenance costs were identified to be the responsibility of the City.
The Call for Artists (Attachment 1. Livermore Sculptures RFP) was open to all sculpture artists residing in the United States, with special consideration given to submissions by local San Francisco Bay Area artists. Previous placement of a permanent outdoor sculpture was not a requirement. However, artists were required to demonstrate their experience in successfully realizing permanent public art installations.
By August 20, 2021, staff had received a total of 61 proposals, which were reviewed by the Ad Hoc Committee of the Commission. On October 26, 2021, the Sculpture Ad Hoc Committee presented three finalists for the Springtown sculpture to the full Commission. The three finalists selected were: Influx by Cecilia Lueza, Magnetic Storms of Space by Norman Moore, and Livermore Outdoor Sculpture Concept by Seth Palmiter. After discussion and deliberation, the Commission selected Influx as its preferred choice, and voted to recommend the project for Council approval.
According to the artist, the Influx sculpture is inspired by the beauty of nature and the dynamics of the ocean. The artwork aims to explore the visual effects of color and geometry while providing a bright and engaging focal point for the public. The sculpture will be made of water jet cut, welded 6061 aircraft grade aluminum of varying thickness. All parts will have an industrial, UV resistant coating system comprised of an epoxy primer and powder coat finish. Under the Agreement, the Artist will fabricate and deliver Influx to the City, provide all components necessary to anchor the Artwork to the foundation, and provide oversight of the installation to the satisfaction of the City and in substantial conformance with Artist’s Design Proposal, as more particularly set forth in Exhibit A to the resolution. The actual installation process will be managed by the City's Engineering Division as part of the Citywide Sculptures- Project #202122 of the Capital Improvement Plan.
FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The cost of purchasing the artwork under the Artwork Acquisition Agreement is forty thousand dollars ($40,000). The cost of purchasing the artwork and the installation is covered in the budget for Citywide Sculptures Project #202122 of the FY 2021-23 Capital Improvement Plan, which will be funded through the Public Art Fund (Fund 608).

Background
Founded in 1869, Livermore is California’s oldest wine region and is surrounded by vineyards, wineries, farm lands and ranches that mirror the valley’s western heritage. The City’s current population of 91,411 encompasses 26.44 square miles and is the easternmost city in the San Francisco Bay Area and the gateway to California’s Central Valley. Protection by the coastal range provides the Livermore Valley with a mild climate that enhances the pursuit of a more relaxed, less congested lifestyle.
Livermore’s arts, culture, western heritage and vibrant wine and craft brew industries provide a unique blend to this special community. Historic Downtown Livermore is enjoying a renaissance reestablishing the downtown as the city’s preeminent shopping, dining, entertainment and cultural district with a 10-screen cinema, an independent movie theater and a 500-seat performing arts center. With the addition of several residential development projects and a pedestrian oriented environment, the City is establishing an active urban living experience in the Tri-Valley.
As home to renowned science and technology centers, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory, Livermore is a technological hub and an academically engaged community. It has become an integral part of the Bay Area, successfully competing in the global market powered by its wealth of research, technology and innovation.

DISCUSSION
In 2018, the City Council appointed Vice Mayor Carling and Council Member Munro to a City Council Subcommittee on Homelessness to develop a Strategic Framework to address short-, medium-, and long-term strategies. The Subcommittee work plan included a series of community meetings with presentations from experts and service providers to expand the community dialogue around homelessness issues and to discuss potential program strengths, challenges, and resources.
The Council approved the Subcommittee on Homelessness’ recommendations of several pilot programs, which included Block by Block to provide bio-hazard clean-up services. The initial funding was provided by the state's Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP), administered by Alameda County.
Block by Block provides bio-hazard clean-up services related to the homeless population throughout the City. The City, in partnership with Block by Block, has identified daily cleaning “hot spots” and has a communication system in place to identify, report, and direct work. The Cleaning Community 171
Ambassadors work closely with the City’s Police, Public Works, and Human Services staff, and local homeless services providers.
On November 4, 2019, the City entered into an agreement with Block by Block utilizing a one-time allocation of Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) funds to provide the Livermore Community Ambassador Program, bio-hazard clean-up, program service referrals related to the homeless population, and overnight attendant services for the Safe Parking Program.
On April 26, 2021, when HEAP funds were no longer available, the City Council recognized the ongoing benefit of the Block by Block services and approved resolution number 2021-056 to award Block by Block $272,000 from its FY 2021-22 General Fund to provide the Community Ambassador Program, bio- hazard clean-up, and safety services to unsheltered residents in Livermore. Based on the funding allocation, on June 17, 2021, the City entered into an extension of their agreement with Block by Block to provide these ongoing services.
