AN ORDINANCE REVISING AND AMENDING LIVERMORE MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 15.26 GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE
Health and Safety Code Sections 17958 and 17958.5 allow the City of Livermore (“City”), by ordinance, to make modifications or changes to the State Building Standards Code and other regulations adopted pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section17922.
Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 requires that such changes be determined to be reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.
Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that the City, before making any modifications or changes pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 17958 and 17958.5, make an express finding that each such modification or change is needed.
Such findings must be made available as a public record and a copy thereof with each such modification or change shall be filed with the California Building Standards Commission.
On October 24, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No 2138 to adopt the State Building Standards Code and made findings and amendments to those codes to establish requirements greater than those set forth in the 2022 edition of the California Building Standards Code codified in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, as adopted by the City of Livermore and set forth in chapters 15.02 Building Code, 15.04 Property Maintenance Code, 15.06 Fire Code, 15.08 Electrical Code, 15.10 Mechanical Code, 15.12 Plumbing Code, 15.14 Residential Code, 15.26 Green Building Code, in the Livermore Municipal Code.
On that date, the City Council also made findings and determined that an additional exception to the Green Building Standards Code was appropriate to allow for an onsite exception for non-combustion fuel cells to produce electricity.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE DOES FIND AND ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings. Amendments to the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code an onsite exception for non-combustion fuel cells to produce electricity are necessary to serve the public interest by reducing the risk to life and property of the citizens of Livermore because of the conditions and findings set forth in Section 1 of Ordinance No. 2138 adopted by the City Council on October 24, 2022. 24 ORDINANCE NO. ________
For the above reasons, taken individually and cumulatively, the City Council of the City of Livermore finds that there are building and fire hazards, as well as environmental considerations, peculiar to Livermore that require the increased fire protection, structural design, and green building standards set forth in this ordinance.
Section 2. Section 15.26.200 GBSC Section 4.106.5.1 added – New Construction is hereby amended to add the following exception number 4 to read as set forth below to be inserted after section 3 that was adopted by Ordinance 2138.
Section 15.26.280 GBSC Section 5.106.13.1 added – New Construction is hereby amended to add the following exception number 5 to read as set forth below to be inserted after section 4 that was adopted by Ordinance 2138.The added language is shown with an underline, but the underlines themselves shall not be codified in the Municipal Code, which publication shall only reflect the final language:
15.26.200 GSC Section 4.106.5.1 added – New Construction.
4. non-combustion fuel cells that convert natural gas, biogas, or hydrogen to electricity on-site.
15.26.280 GSBC Section 5.106.13.1. added - New construction
5. non-combustion fuel cells that convert natural gas, biogas, or hydrogen to electricity on-site.
Section 3. Environmental. The passage of this ordinance is not a project according to the definition in the California Environmental Quality Act and, therefore, is not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.
Section 4. Severability. If any part of this ordinance is declared invalid by a court, such invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining parts.
Section 5. Publication. This ordinance, or a comprehensive summary thereof, shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Livermore within 15 days after its adoption and shall take effect and be in force thirty days after its adoption.
Section 6. Effective Date.

The Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department is tasked with providing landscape maintenance services for both the Brisa Community Facilities District (2015-1) and the El Charro Community Facilities District (2012-1). Three service providers submitted proposals and qualifications which included a standard monthly cost for maintaining specified facilities, as well as additional hourly 50 rates should extra work be necessary. Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. was selected as the best value proposer.
Staff utilized a multi-step process in determining which landscape maintenance company represented the best value as defined by Livermore Municipal Code (LMC) 2.68.040. The credentials and proposals of each of the contractors were evaluated and assessed by staff’s contract evaluation team.
The three proposals were as follows:

BrightView has a demonstrated record of providing quality service to public agencies, and has the knowledge, expertise, and staffing to meet the needs of the City of Livermore.
The term of the agreement will be five years. The total anticipated cost for this agreement is approximately $194,000 per year; with the base price for routine maintenance totaling $170,000 per year, and an additional $24,000 available for additional work, as conditions require. The total not-toexceed cost of the five-year agreement is $1,000,000. The term of the contract includes an agreed upon price change not-to-exceed the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, California area, from the prior calendar year CPI rate in April.

86 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.5
DATE: November 28, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jeramy Young, Police Chief
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with Peregrine Technologies, Inc. to provide data visualization software and services for the Livermore Police Department’s Real-Time Awareness Center (RTAC) and Department Operations Center (DOC) as part of Capital Improvement Project #2019-58 in an amount not-to-exceed $960,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a multiyear renewal agreement with Peregrine Technologies, Inc. beginning on December 15, 2022, through July 31, 2027, in an amount not-to-exceed $960,000 to provide visualization software and related technical support services for the Livermore Police Department’s Real Time Awareness Center (RTAC) as part of Capital Improvement Project #2019-58.
SUMMARY
On January 11, 2019, the City Council received a presentation from the Livermore Police Department (LPD) proposing to develop a Real-Time Awareness Center (RTAC) that could also function as a departmental operational center (DOC) in support of the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during a disaster. In preparation for the necessary data visualization software and integration of technology systems, the LPD entered into a one-year agreement with Peregrine Technologies on December 15, 2021, to evaluate the benefits of their technology platform in support of the Department’s RTAC mission. The initial development performed by Peregrine and support provided to the RTAC and field operations staff has exceeded expectations. The LPD recommends renewing the agreement with Peregrine through July 31, 2027.
DISCUSSION
The Livermore Police Department’s (LPD) Real-Time Awareness Center (RTAC), Project No. 2019-58, involved the conversion of a storage area at the Police Department into a RTAC. The RTAC was identified in the City Council’s FY 2019-21 Goals and Priorities with construction scheduled to be completed in December 2022. The RTAC will be a state-of-the-art tactical communications and real-time analysis policing center. It will provide real-time, actionable intelligence to dispatchers and officers in the 87 field and support Emergency Operations in the event of a local or regional disaster or emergency. The RTAC will include a video wall display allowing staff the ability to monitor events in real-time and actively support field activities. The RTAC will also serve as the LPD’s departmental operations center (DOC) when the City’s EOC is activated.
To support the RTAC’s capabilities and technical operations, extensive research was performed to identify an appropriate data visualization software platform that would be capable of integrating a diverse range of informational and visual data sources through one portal. In August 2020, the Fremont Police Department released a Request for Proposals to invite technology providers to propose, implement, and support a data visualization platform for real-time operations for the Police Department. The department’s focus was to capitalize on a wide and expanding range of technologies for efficient, effective, and smart policing. The requested solution was expected to integrate all types of data, from incoming 911 calls to community cameras in order to provide a greater awareness and intelligence to responding officers while improving situational awareness and safety. Fremont Police Department’s RFP presented the requirements necessary to qualify as the technology provider through a Scope of Services that was developed by gathering input from various internal stakeholders within the Police and Information Technology Departments.
In preparation for standing up the City’s RTAC, the LPD entered into a one-year agreement with Peregrine in 2021 to evaluate their capabilities to support the expected needs of the RTAC. During that one-year duration, Peregrine’s engineers and project development team have exceeded the Department’s expectations for integrating existing Dispatch and Records data alongside the City’s Traffic Engineering camera systems and the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District’s campus video systems.
The first-year agreement with Peregrine was from December 15, 2021, to December 14, 2022, for $99,950. With the first-year agreement expiring, the Police Department is recommending a new multiyear renewal agreement to continue developing additional visualization capabilities, services, and additional integrations through July 31, 2027. The total agreement is for $960,000.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Funding for the Peregrine Technologies, Inc. visualization software and support services agreement is allocated in the Police Department’s approved FY 2022-23 budget and will cause no increase to that budget ($100,000). The remaining necessary funds will be included in the Police Department’s FY 2023- 24 ($215,000), FY 2024-25 ($215,000), FY 2025-26 ($215,000), and FY 2026-27 ($215,000) annual operating general fund budgets for Police Information Technology. The total cost for the Peregrine Technologies software and services agreement is $960,000 for the full term of the agreement.
December 15, 2022 – July 31, 2023, $100,000
August 1, 2023 – July 31, 2024, $215,000
August 1, 2024 – July 31, 2025, $215,000
August 1, 2025 – July 31, 2026, $215,000
August 1, 2026 – July 31, 2027, $215,000

Peregrine for the Livermore Police Department
Our Background
Peregrine was founded in 2017 with the goal of empowering organizations like the LPD to make data-driven decisions based on data integrated across otherwise siloed systems. The Peregrine team has decades of experience building enterprise software alongside government and non-government entities. We are based in San Francisco, California and have partnered closely with several municipal Bay Area police departments to bring cutting-edge technologies to vital public servants while recognizing and respecting the critical security, privacy, and transparency principles that communities demand from government agencies.
Our professional support team has extensive experience working directly with officers, analysts, investigators, administrative personnel, executive staff, and senior leaders.
The Peregrine Platform
To deliver on the above use cases, Peregrine proposes deployment of the Peregrine platform, a web-based, CJIScompliant software-as-a-service (SaaS) that provides a single point of access to integrate, discover, view, and analyze data from LPD-defined data sources. We designed the Peregrine platform with police departments in mind, making it uniquely suited to the needs of LPD. The platform performs several critical functions including data integration, search and information retrieval, advanced analytics, data management, reporting, data exchange and sharing, access control, audit logging, and security.
The Peregrine platform provides an efficient method for turning large amounts of raw data into actionable information. Peregrine does not provide nor create new data for its customers—our platform integrates existing data and makes it available to end users in a decision-ready state.
DATA INTEGRATION & MODELING
The LPD has volumes of valuable data, but that value cannot be unlocked because data is scattered across separate systems, siloed in ways that prevent it from being understood and analyzed together. The Peregrine platform is built to rapidly integrate, clean, transform, and model large amounts of raw data from disparate systems and continuously surface actionable information while reducing manual processing needs.

The platform securely integrates data in near-real time to ensure that users have the most current and reliable information when and where they need it. As data flows into the platform, granular security controls, retention policies, and changes from underlying systems are continuously monitored and applied.
As soon as data enters the platform, it is mapped to an agency-specific data model that is molded to the unique operations of the LPD. This data model provides a dynamic representation of all data – entities, locations, events, and the links between them. Harmonizing multisource data into one data model allows users to smoothly analyze data without requiring a technical understanding of the underlying source systems themselves.
The data model is a dynamic layer of the Peregrine platform, one that can evolve and adapt in response to changes in the LPD’s underlying data systems, even as those systems are upgraded or swapped out. Most often we find that an agency’s data needs are fundamentally dynamic, but the systems that hold the data are static; Peregrine’s data model responds dynamically to changes so that LPD can power its operations through the Peregrine platform even as its technology infrastructure and operational needs evolve.
SEARCH & INFORMATION RETRIEVAL
Once data is integrated into the Peregrine platform, it is immediately accessible through front-end applications. Personnel can easily search for data and filter based on criteria relevant for their investigations, analysis, or other workflow. The Peregrine platform is intuitive to use, allowing personnel of varying technical abilities, skillsets, and functions to surface information that is relevant to them and streamline their unique search workflows.
The platform is designed to be walk-up usable; new users of the platform can immediately surface, analyze, and action data by navigating the platform’s intuitive user interface and applications. These users have multiple ways to surface and view relevant information, allowing them flexibility to approach questions and decisions in ways that best suit them.
These features mean that users arrive at answers more quickly and with greater accuracy, saving time and effort.
EXPLORATION, VISUALIZATION, & REPORTING TOOLS
The Peregrine platform provides a powerful suite of tools for the exploration, visualization, and reporting of data. These tools enable personnel to create dynamic data products and reports—such as interactive maps, network graphs, and dashboards—that automatically update as new data flows into the platform. Personnel can smoothly move data between analytical tools, viewing the same data in different modalities without having to log into different systems or applications.
For more information about some of the platform’s analysis tools, please see Appendix A: Select Data Analysis Tools.
PERMISSION-BASED COLLABORATION & SHARING
The Peregrine platform provides features for secure collaboration and sharing that will enable the LPD to build deeper, trusting partnerships with local and regional stakeholders, including with city leadership and the broader EXHIBIT A 22-0108 JKS/TMM

community. The platform’s granular access and usage control capabilities prevent unauthorized or inappropriate use or sharing of sensitive data while allowing agencies and departments to share information with their partners in a deliberate, precise, and auditable manner. For more information on the platform’s auditing capabilities, please see Appendix B: Privacy, Civil Liberties & Security.
Collaboration in the Peregrine platform extends beyond simple data sharing; it also allows for multiple users to work within the same application at the same time across multiple devices and locations. The platform’s collaboration features compound the value of users’ work by dynamically connecting them in real time with other users who are working with or interested in the same data. In this way, the Peregrine platform generates opportunities for users to improve the quality and speed of their answers by connecting them to users who are asking the same question.
PRIVACY, CIVIL LIBERTIES, & SECURITY AS A FIRST-ORDER PRIORITY From its founding, Peregrine has held the advancement of privacy, civil liberties, and security as a core value of our company and a core element of our platform's architecture. Robust privacy, security, and audit control features are ingrained in the back-end data integration tools and the front-end applications of Peregrine’s platform. These features enable our platform to provide outsized value at agencies like LPD that operate inside a closed network with stringent data security requirements.
Peregrine helps organizations build and maintain trust with their partners and communities by delivering three key platform capabilities:
• granular data security, access, and usage controls
• auditability and logging of user actions
• continuous security and CJIS compliance
For more information, please see Appendix B: Privacy, Civil Liberties & Security.
OPENNESS & INTEROPERABILITY
Openness and interoperability are non-negotiable features for modern organizations. The Peregrine platform was designed for complete systeminteroperability and supportsthe integration of any type,format, or volume of data, including data from existing and future systems.

Appendix A: Select Data Analysis Tools
Geospatial Analysis Tool. To better understand geographical assets, events, and trends, the Peregrine platform includes an interactive Map application. The Map allows users to conduct visually intuitive geographical analysis on all agency data, both historical and in real-time. Users can surface trends, make connections, filter to areas of interest, drill into specific events, particular time periods, and add new layers of relevance on top as needed.
The Map is designed for next-generation geographic contextual and situational awareness, allowing users to explore and answer specific questions with the most relevant data. The Map is intuitive for all personnel whether they are consuming pre-built analyses, conducting ad-hoc searches, or creating complex geospatial products from scratch.
Link Chart Analysis Tool. The platform’s Link Chart aids in the discovery and visualization of connections between otherwise disconnected data. The Link Chart allows users to discover links between people, places, entities, and events across one or multiple degrees of separation. Peregrine’s platform also automatically extracts links from both structured and unstructured data to illuminate connections between people, places, events, documents, and media data without requiring manual processing. For example, an address written in narrative form within a scanned document can be automatically linked to a person living at that address or to a vehicle registered there.
Reports & Dashboards. The platform’s report and
dashboard applications provide configurable, real-time executive summaries to inform situational awareness, statistical analysis, and decision making. Reports and dashboards are configurable to meet the unique needs and visual preferences of individual users. All reports and dashboards are directly connected to real-time data feeds, empowering users to drill down from high-level summary information to the most granular context with a single click. Once a user creates a dashboard, they can continue to use it indefinitely—and share it as needed.
Temporal Analysis Tool. By centralizing data—and all associated metadata—from data systems, users can understand and surface trends over time. Through an intuitive interface, users can analyze how, e.g., calls for service or types of incidents vary by day of week and time of day. Peregrine supports robust search and query capabilities at the day of week and hour of day level, enabling users to conduct analysis over specific units, in specific shifts, at specific locations. As a result, organization can make more informed, data-backed resourcing decisions to more effectively meet mission outcomes.
Real-Time Alerting. With all data centrally located, users can receive real-time notification on new data from any source system. The Peregrine platform’s alerting technology can notify specific users if a pre-defined data entity was added or removed, viewed, downloaded, renamed, or shared. This includes geo-fenced areas or user-defined polygons. For instance, if a neighborhood is experiencing a trend in a type of crime, a Peregrine user can create an alert through the platform’s “follow” feature. If another similar crime occurs in the defined area, a real-time notification will be sent to all users following this alert via email, SMS, or both.
Peregrine is also delivered with extensive tabular analysis tools and a variety of other analytical capabilities.

Appendix B: Privacy, Civil Liberties & Security
From its founding, Peregrine has held the advancement of privacy, civil liberties, and security as a core value of our company and a core element of our platform's architecture. Robust privacy, security, and audit control features are engrained in the back-end data integration tools and the front-end applications of Peregrine’s platform.
Peregrine helps organizations build and maintain trust with their partners and communities by delivering three key platform capabilities:
• granular data security, access, and usage controls
• auditability and logging of user actions
• continuous security and CJIS compliance
Granular Data Security, Access, and Usage Controls
The Peregrine platform’s access and usage control capabilities allow organizations with stringent security requirements to share information with their partners in a deliberate, precise, and auditable manner while preventing unauthorized or inappropriate use of sensitive data.
To accomplish that, the Peregrine platform’s security model delivers precision data-handling and multi-level security capabilities that support several vital data security and privacy protections. The platform enables users with multiple and varying access permissions to interact appropriately with data in real-time, seeing only data they are authorized to see and using or sharing it only in ways for which they have authorization.
The Peregrine platform easily integrates with any existing single sign-on provider, ensuring users have a familiar, secure sign-on experience and administrators maintain single-source control over access to multiple applications within the network. The Peregrine platform is out-of-the-box compatible and easy to integrate with most identity providers, including ADFS, Okta, and PingFederate.
Auditability and Logging of User Actions
Peregrine logs all user actions that take place within the platform and maintains granular, permissioned audit trails that allow agency administrators to review and analyze all user activity. This provides organizations with comprehensive visibility, simplifies the enforcement of policies and procedures, and enhances internal reviews and investigations.
In each of these areas the Peregrine platform improves on legacy systems, which are often opaque, lack security, and are cumbersome to audit. The platform thus enables organizations to meet rising public expectations for accountability, privacy, transparency, and proper use of data.
Continuous Security and CJIS Compliance
Peregrine maintains CJIS-compliant policies and procedures for securely storing, handling, and transmitting data.
By default, our platform encrypts all data both in transit and at rest and uses secure, government-accredited cloud hosting infrastructure (AWS GovCloud). Peregrine adheres to FIPS 140-2 cryptographic standards.
Peregrine provides modern as-a-service delivery and modernization of its software platform. This means that customers receive regular updates, performance improvements, bug fixes, and security patches on a continuous basis with little to no downtime or systemwide effects.
Testing standards deployed by Peregrine meet industry frameworks such as Microsoft SLDC and are designed to remediate vulnerabilities and security risks.

Appendix C: Selection Criteria for Fremont RFP
BACKGROUND: On August 21, 2020, Fremont Police Department staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP #21- 008) inviting proposals from technology providers to provide, implement and support a data visualization platform for real time operations for the Fremont Police Department. The department sought to capitalize on a wide and expanding range of technologies for efficient, effective, and smart policing. A platform that integrates all data, from incoming 911 calls to nearby community cameras, would provide greater awareness and intelligence to responding officers, improving situational awareness and safety. The RFP presented the requirements necessary to qualify as the technology provider through a Scope of Services that was developed by gathering input from various internal stakeholders within the Police and Information Technology Departments.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The RFP closed on September 14, 2020. The City of Fremont received ten total proposals.
The proposals were evaluated using the following criteria:
1. Review and confirmation of all required submittals with the appropriate authorized signatures, insurance documentation, and potential conflict of interest disclosures;
2. The qualifications of the Provider, including experience and references with California law enforcement agencies.
3. Overall quality and comprehensiveness of responsiveness to the scope of services in the RFP, with an emphasis on functional and technology requirements; and Staff Report (ID # 4278) Meeting of March 2, 2021
4. The total annual cost for a five-year period for the product, implementation, training, service, and maintenance.
Staff reviewed the proposals and determined that numerous vendors were cost prohibitive and thus eliminated from consideration. Three vendors were selected to provide a thorough virtual demonstration of their technology product (Peregrine Technologies, Fusus, and Motorola Solutions). They were selected based on the above criteria, but primarily on the quality and scope of their proposal as it reflected the Fremont Police Department’s technology needs. The candidates were asked to: demonstrate their functional requirements, to include video and camera features, connectivity, and analytics; show an optimal workflow example of a police incident utilizing incident information and available data points and resources; explain prominent features and a road map for future capabilities and enhancements; and show specific data search capabilities and investigative tools and resources, if available. The vendors were also asked to satisfied IT requirements, to include data integration, software updates/releases, system availability, customer services protocols, and necessary CJIS and FIPS requirements.
The range of a five-year total cost proposal was from $490,000 to $2,500,000. The three selected candidates listed $490,000-$747,500 (five-year total). The review panel consisted of representatives from PD command staff, business services, patrol, dispatch, crime analysis, and the information technology department. Peregrine Technologies was the vendor with the highest overall score by the review panel. Fremont City staff performed reference checks with the San Pablo (CA) Police Department and the Albuquerque (NM) Police Department. Both law enforcement agencies expressed favorable reviews for Peregrine Technologies for the team’s staff performance, technology platform, responsiveness to requests, innovation, and overall value to the departments’ future technology goals.

SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing a general fund supplemental appropriation of $178,436 and execution of a purchase order with Motorola Solutions for the purchase of two radio consoles to support Livermore Police Department’s Real Time Awareness Center (RTAC) in an amount not-to-exceed $178,436.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing a general fund supplemental appropriation of $178,436 and execution of a purchase order with Motorola Solutions for the purchase of two radio consoles to support the Livermore Police Department’s Real Time Awareness Center (RTAC) in an amount not-to-exceed $178,436.
SUMMARY
The RTAC at the Livermore Police Department is currently under construction and will be a state-of-theart tactical communications and real-time analysis policing facility. When operational, the RTAC will provide real-time, actionable intelligence to dispatchers and officers in the field. The RTAC facility will also serve as the Emergency Operations Center for the police department. The purchase of this equipment is essential to the operation of the RTAC which will enhance the ability of the Department to better serve the community.
DISCUSSION
The RTAC will have video monitors to assist with monitoring areas around the City to better communicate with staff in the field. Having the radio consoles allows the staff to speak directly with officers on the street, responding to incidents as they are happening, as well as being able to update Dispatch with pertinent information in a dynamic format. Additionally, the radio consoles give staff in the RTAC the ability to communicate with outside agencies when the EOC is activated.
Motorola Solutions was chosen as the vendor using the Communications System Agreement (CSA) between East Bay Regional Communications System Authority (EBRCSA) and Motorola Solutions, Inc. dated July 7, 2009, eliminating the need for the competitive bid process. This equipment is compatible 121
with our existing radio system and provides for seamless integration.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The total project amount is $178,436. The equipment was originally budgeted in CIP Project 2019-58, but costs have increased substantially for this equipment. In addition, it was determined that two consoles were necessary for the RTAC to function optimally as opposed to the original plan for a single console. Current available funding is $143,006. The balance of the funding required is $35,430 and will be addressed in the FY 2022-23 mid-year budget process through salary savings from vacant positions.

2.68.040, with the exception being where supplies and equipment are purchased through competitive or noncompetitive negotiations pursuant to LMC 2.68.390.
Providing consistent radio communication between officers on the street, the Dispatch center and the Real-Time Awareness Center (RTAC) is a critical concern for the management of law enforcement agencies. Radio communication should be accurate and dispersed in a timely manner to protect the safety of staff as well as citizens alike.
The purchase of two radio consoles to support the RTAC room and staff will afford the ability to relay pertinent information in a real time environment.

6.1.5 Multi-Select Operation
1. DESCRIPTION
Multi-Select (Msel) allows the console operator to group a number of channels/talkgroups together such that when the general transmit bar is depressed, all of the multi-selected channels/talkgroups will transmit at the same time with the same information. Multi-Select is one way communication call. If a radio user responds to a Multi-Select call the talkgroup the user is affiliated to will be the only one to hear the call. There is no super-group formed, so radio

6.1.6 Talkgroup Patch
1. DESCRIPTION
Talkgroup Patch allows a dispatcher to merge several
talkgroups together on one voice channel to participate in a single conversation. This can be used for situations
involving two or more talkgroups that need to communicate with each other.
Using the Patch feature, the console operator can talk and listen to all of the selected talkgroups grouped; in addition, the members of the individual talkgroups can also talk or listen to members of other talkgroups. Patched talkgroups can communicate with the console dispatcher and other
members of different talkgroups because of the
"supergroup" nature of the Patch feature.
NOTE : If "secure" and "clear" resources are patched
together, one repeater for each mode may be assigned per site.

SUMMARY
The Livermore Village Parking Garage (L Street Garage) Construction Project involves constructing a garage and associated site improvements at the southwest corner of the Livermore Village site. As 164
shown in Attachment 1, the project is being constructed in two phases. The first phase is under construction and consists of reconfiguring the surface parking lot south of Veterans Way and east of the future garage and constructing a trash enclosure and electrical infrastructure for future electric vehicle charging stations. The second phase involves building the four-level, 452 space garage, constructing a new pedestrian path between First Street and the garage, and extending the pedestrian path on the east side of the surface lot. Additional Phase 2 improvements include an access road south of the garage, landscaping north of the garage on Veterans Way, surface lot improvements connecting the garage to the Phase 1 lot, installing a crosswalk at Veterans Way and L Street, and improvements along the property lines between the businesses and the garage.
Three bids for the Phase 2 project were received on October 26, 2022. Staff recommends the City Council award and authorize a construction contract with Zovich Construction, the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement. Staff also recommends the City Council authorize a Professional Services agreement with Quality Assurance Engineering, Inc. to provide inspection and materials testing during construction. Staff further recommends the City Council authorize an amendment to the engineering services agreement with Watry Buehler Collaborative to provide additional design and construction support services. Finally, staff recommends the City Council authorize supplemental appropriations in the amount of $26,700,000 from Fund 320 (2022 COP Debt Construction Fund) to Fiscal Year 2023-24 to coincide with anticipated construction expenditures and to fully fund the project.
DISCUSSION
On January 30, 2018, the City Council approved the locations for open space, housing, parking and circulation systems, cultural facilities, commercial uses, and a hotel for the downtown catalyst sites. The approved plan includes additional parking on the northwest side of the existing Livermore Valley Parking Garage located at I Street and Railroad Avenue (I Street Garage) and additional parking at the southwest corner of the Livermore Village Site (L Street Garage). City Council directed staff to maintain the existing parking supply during all phases of downtown development and to provide adequate parking for all existing and new development. The new Livermore Village Parking Garage (L Street Garage) will help the city meet these objectives.
Parking in the downtown core has primarily been in large surface parking lots. In order to provide room for new development and amenities such as parks, pathways, cultural facilities, businesses, restaurants, housing, and a hotel, parking needs to be consolidated into parking structures. Upon completion of the L Street Garage there will be a total of 1,225 parking spaces in the Livermore Valley Center Garage (Railroad Ave Garage), I Street Garage, and the L Street Garage. The surface lot next to the L Street Garage will provide an additional 40 parking spaces. The garages will provide a number of benefits compared to the current surface parking. New green spaces will be developed as parks, pathways, and landscaping that provide percolation and treatment for stormwater. Exposed stormwater runoff from the garages will be treated in bioswales and interior drainage will be run through sand oil separators and then into the sewer system. Soil containing trace amounts of the dry-cleaning solvent tetrachloroethylene (PCE) will be removed during construction of the L Street Garage. Additionally, soil vapor extraction wells will be constructed. These wells will help clean the soil vapor at the Livermore Village Site.
The Planning Commission reviewed the project on August 21, 2018. The Planning Commission determined that the project is consistent with the Livermore General Plan and related polices and recommended that the City Council approve the project. On September 10, 2018, the City Council 165
approved Downtown Design Review 18-006 for the project subject to the Conditions of Approval. The City Council also directed staff to prepare and file a Notice of Determination for the project. On July 11, 2022, City Council extended Downtown Design Review 18-006 for the Livermore Village Parking Garage (L Street Garage) Construction Project 586003 to December 31, 2022, due to the 2018 Referendum and COVID-19 pandemic in accordance with Livermore Development Code Section 9.12.070.
As shown in Attachment 1, the L Street Garage will be located at the southeast corner of Veterans Way and L Street. The main entrance/exit will be along Veterans Way. There will be an additional entrance/exit from the southern end of the surface parking lot east of the garage. An access road will be constructed south of the garage. This access road will be for deliveries, garbage trucks, and emergency vehicles. A new pedestrian pathway will be constructed between First Street and the elevator towers of the garage. Landscaping will be installed north of the garage along Veterans Way. Crosswalks will be constructed at L Street and Veterans Way and also across Veterans Way near the interior of the block. A small plaza and landscaping will be constructed east of the garage. The surface lot east of the garage will be completed and will contain 40 spaces. The existing pedestrian pathway will be renovated and extended at the east end of the site between First Street and the surface parking lot.
The rear building at 2048 First Street was demolished in 2020 to facilitate construction of the L Street Garage. The Historic Preservation Commission inspected the building prior to demolition and requested that the City salvage the brick arch at the northern end of the building. The project involves reconstructing the brick arch south of the elevator towers. A historical plaque will be installed next to the arch that explains the history of the demolished building. The plaque text was approved at the October 6, 2022 Historic Preservation Commission meeting.
The garage will be 4 levels and contain 452 parking spaces. Attachment 2 contains renderings and elevations of the garage. Each level of the garage will have a pedestrian walkway on the southern side.
Pedestrians will be able to walk through the garage on the bottom level between the access road and Veterans Way. There will be bioswale in the middle of the parking garage between the two parking bays.
A total of 50 spaces at the site will be equipped with electric vehicle chargers. Sixteen of these spaces will be Level 3 fast charging spaces in the surface lot east of the garage. An additional 16 Level 3 fast charging spaces will be constructed inside the garage. These fast-charging spaces will be operated and maintained by East Bay Community Energy Authority per the requirements of the license agreement that was approved by the City Council on September 12, 2022. The City will install and maintain an additional 18 Level 2 electric vehicle charging spaces inside the garage.
A parking technology system will be installed in the garage that monitors whether each space is available or occupied. Signs will be installed at the entrance/exits and at each floor indicating how many spaces are available. The same vendor will be used that installed the parking technology in the Livermore Valley Center Garage and the I Street Garage. The vendor has an application that can be used to monitor available parking in the garages. The "Livermore Parking" application is available and can be downloaded for use.
Security cameras will be installed in the garage and also at the outside corners of the garage. These cameras will be able to monitor activity inside the garage and also at the surrounding Livermore Village site. Thirty bike lockers will be installed on the bottom level. Conduits and supports for future solar panels will also be installed. Requests for Proposals will be issued for a solar power purchase agreement after the garage is constructed, to add solar panels to the roof of the garage. Requests for proposals for a mural on the eastern wall of the garage will also be issued after the garage is constructed. The mural 166
work will be coordinated with the Commission for the Arts.
Construction activities from the L Street Garage will impact businesses in the downtown. Staff has met with Livermore Downtown Inc. and downtown businesses to discuss the project and means of mitigating impacts. These mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project. Additionally, the completion of other projects has been coordinated to reduce the impacts of the L Street Garage Project. Buildings were demolished and replaced with temporary parking north of Veterans Way to increase the amount of parking at the Livermore Village site. SpeeDee Oil Change was also demolished and replaced with temporary parking at the southeast corner of Railroad Avenue and Livermore Avenue. The I Street garage was constructed and contains 274 new parking spaces. A surface lot was also constructed at the northeast corner of Railroad and K Street which provides over 80 parking spaces. Additionally, the L Street Garage Project was split into two phases so that the first phase can be completed before the second phase begins. The first phase will provide a trash enclosure for businesses that are most impacted by the garage construction and will provide access for deliveries during construction of the second phase. In summary, the required total number of parking spaces in the Downtown Core will be maintained during construction of the garage; however, the spaces will be further from the businesses on First Street. Once the L Street Garage is completed, parking will be available closer to the First Street businesses compared to current conditions.
Attachment 3 shows the areas that will be impacted during construction of the L Street Garage. As shown, the western half of Veterans Way will need to be fenced off to provide room for construction materials and a crane. Garage construction requires significant storage of materials because each level needs to be formed and poured. The forms and construction material require a large staging area outside the garage footprint. Adequate room for the crane will also be required. The crane will be approximately 60 feet in length and will operate along the north side of the garage. The contractor will repair the road and complete the landscaping at the end of the project.
Mitigation measures include rerouting traffic on Veterans Way north and west through the surface parking lot to L Street. "Public Parking" and "Business Open" signs will be posted at the remaining four entrances/exits to Livermore Village. Pedestrians will be able to access First Street from the parking area north of Veterans Way through the completed Phase 1 surface parking lot area. The Contractor is required to provide pedestrian access to the businesses south of the garage. Additionally, the contractor needs to leave the alley between Murphy's Paws and Caratti Jewelers open to the public until the access road is completed south of the garage.
Additional engineering and professional services are required to support construction of this major project. These additional services include construction inspection, materials testing, and additional design and construction engineering support. Staff has negotiated the attached professional services agreement and scope of services with Quality Assurance Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $474,000 for inspection and materials testing. Quality Assurance Engineering recently completed the same services for the I Street Garage. Their inspectors have experience with garage construction and are familiar with City construction procedures. The inspection and materials testing contract of $474,000 represents 1.6 percent of the $30,090,000 construction cost. This is within industry standards.
Staff has also negotiated the attached Second Amendment to the Engineering Services Agreement with Watry Buehler Collaborative, LLP for additional design and construction support services. This amendment will increase the amount of the agreement by $114,000 to a not-to-exceed amount of $1,624,000. These services are required for items not in the original scope of work such as the trash 167
enclosure for businesses south of the garage, two kiosks in the pathways next to the garage, modifying the parking technology design for single space detection, redesigning grades around the Alehouse back patio, and designing supports and electrical connections for future vehicle license plate readers that will be installed by the Police Department.
Three bids were received and opened for this project on October 26, 2022. The lowest responsible and responsive bidder was Zovich Construction from Brentwood. Satisfactory references were provided for Zovich Construction by the City of Fremont and County of Monterey for their work as the general contractor on major building infrastructure projects.
One of the contractors tied for the second low bid, C. Overaa & Co, submitted a bid protest. Staff responded with a letter rejecting the bid protest.
The following is a list of the bids received and the Engineer’s Estimate for the project.
Livermore Village Parking Garage Construction, Phase 2- Bid Results Contractor City Bid Amount
Zovich Construction. Brentwood $30,090,000
C. Overaa & Co. Richmond $30,402,000
F&H Construction Lodi $30,402,000
Engineer's Estimate $32,000,000
In accordance with Livermore Municipal Code Section 2.68.560, Change Order authorization of 10% of the contract value is allowed.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The City Council approved the issuance of up to $47 million in bonds (2022 COP Debt Construction Fund 320) for the Livermore Village Parking Garage (L Street Garage) Construction, Project 586003, on September 12, 2022. Based on the bids received, the total amount of the bonds will be $41,060,000.
These bonds will cover the cost of this construction contract, professional services agreement, engineering agreement amendment, other project costs, and issuance costs. Other project costs include Phase 1 construction, change order allowances, design, inspection, materials testing, construction management, project management, and building permit fees. Total estimated expenditures of for Project 586003 are $11.7 million in FY 2022-23 and $26.7 million FY 2023-24. The bonds will also cover prior year expenditures for Project 586003, expenditures for Livermore Village Remediation Project 2021-18, and Livermore Village Joint Trench Project 2021-19 that are associated with the garage construction.
Currently there is $15.4 million budgeted for this project in FY 2022-23 in the FY 2021-23 Capital Improvement Plan. Staff recommends reducing the budget by $3.7 million to match the estimated expenditures of $11.7 million in FY 2022-23. Staff recommends moving this $3.7 million to FY 2023-24 along with an additional appropriation of $23 million so that the total budget in FY 2023-24 is $26.7 million.
Phase 2 construction is anticipated to start in January 2023 and be completed by June 2024. 168
Annual operations and maintenance costs for the new garage are estimated at $130,000 per year and annual replacement costs are estimated at $160,000 per year. These costs will be funded from the operating budget with Facilities Rehabilitation Program Fees (Fund 740).

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.8
DATE: November 28, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Scott Lanphier, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Resolution approving the second amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement approving the assignment of Livermore Sanitation, Inc. to Waste Connections.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Second Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement approving the Assignment of Livermore Sanitation, Inc. to Waste Connections.
SUMMARY
In the fall of 2021, Livermore Sanitation, Inc. (LSI) staff notified the City that they planned to sell LSI to another company, Waste Connections, along with their holdings in San Jose and Milpitas, and parts of eastern Alameda County served by LSI.
Section 12.5 of the Franchise Agreement with LSI requires City Council approval of any assignment and reserves the right for the City to conduct an Assignment Review (Review). The Review was performed by HF&H Consultants and the final report is attached as Exhibit B to the Resolution.
The Review of Waste Connections demonstrated that they have the requisite qualifications, experience, and performance record to be considered for the Assignment and reference checks to other agencies were generally positive.
Waste Connections has outlined their commitment to adhering to the terms of the Franchise Agreement, including maintaining the same quality of services that the Livermore community has come to expect from LSI and retaining all full-time staff. They will continue to operate locally at the offices on National Drive in Livermore.
Staff recommends the City Council consider and approve the Assignment of LSI to Waste Connections, Inc.
216
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND
In June 2008, because the term of the contract with Waste Management was ending, the City Council directed staff to release a Request for Proposals (RFP) in order to procure a franchise agreement to collect solid waste and recyclable materials from the Livermore community. In response to the RFP, the City received proposals from three companies in April of 2009; Waste Management declined to submit a proposal to continue to serve the community.
In September 2009, the Livermore City Council selected Livermore Sanitation, Inc. because the company offered enhanced services at the best price compared to other proposers.
On April 27, 2020, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the execution of the Third Amended and Restated Agreement with Livermore Sanitation, Inc. for Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Compostable Materials Services (Franchise Agreement). This action extended the Franchise Agreement term for a minimum period of 10 years, until June 30, 2030, and included new trucks and other equipment, and enhanced services for the Livermore rate payers.
The Franchise Agreement extension also included responsibilities for compliance with 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.
DISCUSSION
In the fall of 2021, LSI staff notified the City that they planned to sell LSI to another company, Waste Connections, along with their holdings in San Jose and Milpitas, and parts of eastern Alameda County served by LSI. Waste Connections is a national solid waste company with headquarters in The Woodlands, Texas and Vaughan, Ontario.
Section 12.5 of the Franchise Agreement with LSI requires City Council approval of any assignment and reserves the right for the City to conduct an Assignment Review (Review). The Franchise Agreement also requires LSI to provide the City with a non-refundable payment of $100,000 to cover the costs of the Assignment evaluation. These funds have been received and used to cover costs related to consultant services and outside counsel.
The Review was performed by HF&H Consultants and the final report is attached to the Resolution as Exhibit B. The areas of evaluation included:
Compliance Review - An audit of LSI’s compliance and performance under the current Agreement.

Compliance Review
As a result of the Review, it was determined that Waste Connections meets the minimum criteria for the consideration of the Assignment based on the information provided. The only concern resulting from the Review was that Waste Connections initially failed to disclose certain information related to Liquidated Damages, as the penalty amounts were considered insignificant by the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, after a second request, Waste Connections did provide all information related to Liquidated Damages assessed in other California jurisdictions.
These Liquidated Damages related to missed pickups by Waste Connections in one other community, which represented a small (approximately 0.05%) proportion of all pickups. Liquidated Damages during the past 5 years for these issues totaling up to $10,000 annually, and represent an immaterial amount (0.03%) of overall company revenue.
The City discussed these service-related concerns with Waste Connections and was assured of the company’s commitment to provide excellent uninterrupted service. Overall, the Review found that Waste Connections has the requisite qualifications, experience, and performance record to perform the services described by the Franchise Agreement.
The Review of LSI’s past performance identified certain minor shortfalls and discrepancies in services described by the Franchise Agreement, but these were promptly resolved and never resulted in Liquidated Damages or findings of default.
It is important to note that the transition to Waste Connections ownership should be seamless since Waste Connections has agreed to maintain the same LSI trucks, logos, staff, and outreach for the foreseeable future. Waste Connections has stated that the current employees will retain their roles, including the current general manager. Also, additional accounts receivable and accounts payable staff will be retained and housed at the facility on National Drive.
Given the change in ownership, there will be some differences. Currently, all LSI owners are local, familiar with the community, and decisions are made quickly. Since Waste Connections is a larger, nationwide company with a corporate board of directors, major decisions may take longer and will involve regional managers and senior management.
Assignment Terms
Upon Review of the terms of the Assignment, Waste Connections should be able to make a reasonable return on investment without creating undue risk to the rate payers. The City will continue to monitor the Franchise Agreement requirements and Waste Connections’ performance to ensure that staffing is adequate and operational service levels are maintained. This is a stock buy out and there will be no change to the LSI management structure; LSI will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waste Connections.
Financial Condition
Calculations based on financial statements provided by both Waste Connections and LSI show favorable returns based on industry standards and services should not be compromised in order to maintain profitability. More detail on the financial analysis can be found in the Review report labeled Exhibit B to the Resolution.
218
Experience and Qualifications
Reference checks were performed for the communities currently served by Waste Connections. Of the references that responded to feedback requests, most comments were positive, as detailed in the Review report. All responsive references stated that they would be willing to extend the contract with Waste Connections if given the opportunity, and any criticisms offered related to the intermittent disconnect between corporate and local teams for approvals and decision-making.
As mentioned previously, the sale also included the assignment of contracts with Garden City Sanitation in San Jose and Milpitas Sanitation in Milpitas, along with the LSI services to some areas of eastern unincorporated Alameda County. City staff contacted staff from San Jose and Milpitas to find out if the transition to Waste Connections proceeded smoothly or if there were any difficulties encountered during the change.
San Jose staff administratively approved the Assignment to Waste Connections in 2021, per the terms of their franchise agreement. San Jose has multiple franchise collection contracts, and Garden City Sanitation provided garbage collection service only (not recycling or organics) to approximately 130,000, or 2/3 of single-family homes in San Jose. In addition, Green Team, a Waste Connections subsidiary, has served the City of San Jose since 1993. Therefore, San Jose staff were already familiar and satisfied with Waste Connections and their services/staff. According to San Jose staff, the transition from Garden City to Waste Connections was seamless because most the staff is the same, branding is the same, there have been no complaints from residents about service deficiencies, and no special rate increase requests.
Similar to Livermore, the Milpitas franchise agreement terms required their City Council to consider approval or rejection of the Assignment. In December 2021, the Milpitas Council initially voted to reject the Assignment, but after further negotiations, in May 2022, Milpitas approved the Assignment request.
The Assignment transition occurred in late July and early August, and Milpitas now has one franchise agreement with Milpitas Sanitation, owned by Waste Connections. According to Milpitas staff, the changeover has been seamless, and there have been no complaints from residents or businesses about service quality issues. Uniforms and branding have remained the same, and staffing is the same.
At this time, Alameda County has not yet acted on the Assignment request. After speaking with Alameda County staff, it appears they will consider the City of Livermore’s decision prior to any Board of Supervisors’ action.
Letter of Commitment
In response to staff’s request and the findings of the Review, Waste Connections has written a letter of commitment attached to the Resolution as Exhibit A. They have committed to maintain the same level of services that the Livermore community has come to expect from LSI, and there will be no immediate changes to logos or branding, and Waste Connections has agreed to notify the City in advance if it intends to make any changes in the long term.
Waste Connections has agreed to retain all full-time staff, keep comparable compensation and benefits for LSI staff, and honor collective bargaining and union agreements. They will continue to operate locally at the offices on National Drive in Livermore.
Waste Connections has committed to remedy any remaining shortfalls identified by the Review and are 219
committed to adhering to the requirements of the Franchise Agreement in its entirety. They have also committed to retain ownership of LSI for a minimum of five years.
Waste Connections has committed to assist the City in meeting its obligations under Senate Bill 1383, including using existing funding sources to purchase compost and host two compost giveaways annually.
Waste Connections has also agreed to consider purchasing zero-emission collection vehicles as improved technology becomes available and when the price is comparable to current fleet costs.
Public Engagement and Outreach
LSI has mailed a postcard to each account on file announcing the proposed change of ownership and notifying the community that no changes to the quality and consistency of collection services are anticipated. The final Review report and Waste Connections’ commitment letter have been posted to the City’s Environmental Services Division webpage, along with a frequently asked questions document and City staff contact information if residents or businesses have additional questions.
Staff recommends the City Council consider and approve the Assignment of Livermore Sanitation, Inc. to Waste Connections.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
No fiscal impacts are anticipated because Waste Connections has committed to continuing to honor the terms of the current Franchise Agreement. Waste Connections will continue to follow the rate adjustment methodology as described by the Franchise Agreement, and is prohibited from passing the Assignment transaction cost to the ratepayers.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
LSI has proposed an Assignment of its Agreement with the City. An assignment, as defined in the franchise agreement, means any material change in the ownership of the company. In this case, LSI has proposed to sell all of the stock of LSI to Waste Connections. This report presents the City with the results of HF&H’s Review to support the City in determining whether it is in its best interest to accept the terms of the proposed Assignment.
HF&H was engaged to perform a Review of LSI in accordance with Section 12.5 of the Agreement. In general, the review found that the transaction will result in a change in control and governance of LSI.
Waste Connections (the acquiring company) appears to meet the minimum criteria for the consideration of the Assignment from our review of provided documents.
Waste Connections has stated that the current management and employees will be retained, however each of those employees has the ultimate discretion about their choice to remain employed and it is important that Waste Connections maintains a work environment that encourages those valued employees to stay.
Our Review of Waste Connections demonstrated that they have the requisite qualifications, experience, and performance record to be considered for the assignment and reference checks to other agencies were generally positive. The only concern raised in the review of Waste Connections relates to their failure to disclose certain information related to the assessment of liquidated damages against them. The particular issue was discussed with Waste Connections and a revised disclosure was provided.
Our Review of LSI identified certain shortfalls in performance that are documented herein. The specific issues were relatively minor in nature, were promptly resolved, and never resulted in the contractor being subject to liquidated damages or found in default of the Agreement.
HF&H recommends that the City review and consider the specific findings of this report prior to approving any Assignment of the Agreement. Should the City wish to proceed with Assignment, HF&H recommends conditioning the approval of the Assignment on LSI’s agreement to implement the various recommendations contained in this report.
In addition to its obligations under the Agreement, Waste Connections has provided written assurances regarding their commitments to:
• Retain current staff and notify the City in writing regarding open and new staff positions; • Keep the current rate-adjustment methodology as outlined in the Franchise Agreement so as to maintain modest annual rate increases;
• Provide quality service in accordance with standards spelled out in the Franchise Agreement; • Continued community engagement; and,
• Comply with section 12.5.2 of the Franchise Agreement.

233
SECTION 1 OVERVIEW
A. Background
The Agreement between LSI and the City provides LSI with the exclusive right to collect residential, multifamily, and commercial discarded materials in the City, subject to the limitations of that Agreement and applicable law or where other current programs provide for collection of household hazardous waste. In 2011, the Agreement was amended to adjust certain revenue and related monetary credits due to the City, provisions of services in portions of unincorporated Alameda County, and to establish rates for drop box and compactors organics material services. The Agreement was further amended in 2015 to account for a new collective bargaining agreement and a special rate review for an increased Recyclable Materials processing fee. The Third amendment in 2020 extended the term of the agreement, allowed for additional capital purchases, and prepared for new state legislature (e.g., SB 1383).
In October 2021, LSI notified the City of its intent to sell their company to WC, Inc., a publicly-traded, waste management company. Section 12.5 of the Agreement governs this type of transaction and reserves the right for the Franchising Agency to conduct an Assignment Review (Review). The Review was performed by HF&H Consultants, in accordance with the process outlined in the Agreement, and identified a few performance gaps related to program implementation, reporting, and public education (see “Section 2: Findings and Recommendations”).
The issue areas covered in this Review are as follows:
Compliance Issue Areas
• Implementation of all collection services and recycling programs • Public education and outreach
• Performance consistent with the standards of performance defined in the Agreement • Billing review
• Delivery of material to the correct facilities
• Provision of operating assets that meet the requirements of the Agreement • Reporting
• Payment of fees
• Insurance and performance sureties required by the Agreement • Liquidated damages
Assignment Term Issue Areas
• Financial condition of Franchisee and Assignee
• Risk to Franchising Agency and/or rate payers
Financial Condition Issue Areas
• Financial health and stability
• Return on investment
EXHIBIT B
234
• Ability to maintain ongoing operating costs without compromising performance Experience and Qualification Issue Areas
• Experience
• Qualifications
• Performance of Assignee
o Litigation History
o Regulatory violations
B. Techniques
HF&H’s Review team conducted the following activities:
• Initial and follow-up information requests to LSI, WC, and the City. • Phone interviews with LSI’s operations and management staff. • Review of monthly, quarterly, and annual reports and other requested financial and operational data. • Sample testing of LSI collection customers invoices.
• Review of tonnage and facility reports.
• Review and calculation and payment of fees.
• Calls and meetings with LSI.
C. Limitations of the Analysis
The scope of HF&H’s analysis was limited as follows:
• The Review covered a wide range of performance areas in the Agreement. Therefore, the recommendations include several areas for suggested follow-up monitoring related to specific issues. • The information used in the Review is, to the best of our understanding, accurate based on the data and information as provided by LSI, WC and/or the City, and was reviewed for reasonableness within industry standards.
• The Review did not entail independent verification of the accuracy or completeness of all of the source documents provided by LSI, WC, and the City.
• While the recommendations identify potential areas for improvement, the scope of work for the Review did not include development of specific remedies. The City may wish to meet and confer with LSI and WC to implement solutions to the issues identified in this report. • Other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to the City had we addressed additional topic areas, additional issues within topic areas, and/or performed additional procedures.
EXHIBIT B
235
SECTION 2: FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS
HF&H performed review and analysis of LSI’s performance and compliance with the Agreement, the terms under which the Assignee intends to purchase the Franchisee, the financial health and stability of the Franchisee and its operations, and the experience and qualifications of the Assignee in relation to its ability to perform its obligations at or above the standards defined within the Agreement. The findings of this Review are documented in this section and provide documentation of all instances of non-compliance with the Agreement, as well as other potential areas of concern.
Generally, LSI has been found to be compliant with the terms and conditions of its Agreement with the City, with some exceptions noted in the findings below. For each area where non-compliance was documented, LSI has been notified and has attempted to remedy the situation and/or HF&H has made recommendations to prevent future failures to meet compliance. Particular areas of concern are related to public education, outreach, and reporting.
HF&H believes that the recommendations below should be implemented regardless of the approval of a change in control and that these recommendations should help to ensure that the City’s Agreement needs are better met.
A. Compliance Review
A-1. Implementation of Collection and Recycling Programs Required Under Agreement
The Agreement establishes specific collection services, documented in Section 5 of the Agreement, which must be performed by LSI. HF&H reviewed all requirements of Section 5.2 – Solid Waste Services, 5.3 - Recycling Services, 5.4 – Compostable Materials Program, 5.5 – City Facilities and Events Collection, 5.6 – Provision of Service to Schools, 5.7 – Construction and Demolition Debris Collection, 5.8 – Abandoned Solid Waste Collection, 5.9 Community Garage Sale Event, and 5.10 – E-Waste and U-Waste Collection.
HF&H collected evidence of LSI’s compliance with collection services through materials on their website, rate sheets, monthly reports, quarterly reports, and annual reports as well as discussions with City staff.
Where services could not be verified though documentation, HF&H contacted LSI and/or City staff to verify compliance. It is important to note that only a sample of information from this material was examined during this review.
Findings
HF&H found that LSI is generally compliant with the core collection services for solid waste, recycling, compostable materials, City facilities, schools, C&D, abandoned waste, garage sale events, e-waste and uwaste, and the bulky / on-call cleanup program, with the following exception:
• Multi-family customers subscribed to carts are not offered used oil recovery kit collection, as prescribed in the Agreement. LSI confirmed our assessment and informed us that COVID restrictions and the challenges of getting property manager approval delayed this program.
Recommendations
• HF&H recommends that LSI and the City meet and confer about how to address the above issue now that COVID related restrictions have largely been lifted.
EXHIBIT B
236
A-2. Public Education and Outreach Analysis
The Agreement establishes specific public education and outreach requirements to be performed by LSI, in accordance with Exhibit C of the Agreement. This part of the Review was broken into five separate sections: 1) single family; 2) multi-family; 3) commercial; 4) schools; and, 5) special events. For each section, HF&H reviewed printed collateral, Public Education and Outreach Annual Plans (PEOPs), and monthly / quarterly / annual reports from Rate Year 10 and Rate Year 11 that were submitted by LSI on behalf of the City. Printed collateral was reviewed for the inclusion ofspecified educational topics outlined in the Agreement and included newsletters, posters, recycling guides, postcards, and bill inserts. Reports were used to identify the number of engagements LSI had with customers to offer educational and/or technical support.
Findings
Single Family Education and Outreach Activities
HF&H found that LSI is generally compliant with the single-family education and outreach activities, with the following exceptions:
Non-Compliance
• Corrective action noticesfor use in instances where the resident sets out inappropriate materials were not available nor provided to customers until Rate Year 11. • Technical information related to home composting was not provided in brochures and newsletters.
The only information provided to residents was a link in the Q&A section of the LSI website. • Annual clean-ups were not advertised to residents through bill inserts in Rate Year 10 or Rate Year 11.
One of two required newspaper advertisement was provided in Rate Year 11. • LSI’s website does not include a single-family customer address look-up feature that shows collection dates or up to date information on the City’s ranks relative to its 75% diversion goal.
Partial Compliance
• Bill inserts contained service-related announcements (e.g., new services, proper HHW handling, holiday tree collection) instead of the information being printed on the bills themselves. • LSI has not advertised on the local radio or cable television broadcasts in the last 5 years. However, LSI recently participated in a commercial that will air on the local channel along with Livermore Recycles.
Multi Family Education and Outreach Activities
HF&H found that LSI is generally compliant with the multi-family education and outreach activities, with the following exceptions:
Partial Compliance
• Bill inserts contained service-related announcements (e.g., new services, proper HHW handling, holiday tree collection) instead of the information being printed on the bills themselves. • LSI has not advertised on the local radio or cable television broadcasts in the last 5 years. However, LSI recently participated in a commercial that will air on the local channel along with Livermore Recycles.
EXHIBIT B
237
• LSI’s website included a list of ‘green’ complexes in Livermore. However, the list is not searchable or ranked, as required in the Agreement.
Commercial Education and Outreach Activities
HF&H found that LSI is generally compliant with Commercial education and outreach activities, with the following exceptions:
Non-Compliance
• Corrective action notices for use in instances where the resident sets out inappropriate materials were not available nor provided to customers. LSI stated that they are working on notices that will be ready in September 2022.
Partial Compliance
• Newsletters contained general information on re-use, recycled products, and donation locations.
However, the newsletters contained either limited or no specific vendor names, numbers, or contacts. • Bill inserts contained service-related announcements (e.g., new services, proper HHW handling, holiday tree collection) instead of the information being printed on the bills themselves.
Schools Education and Outreach Activities
LSI is required to provide approximately 170 classroom presentations to public school children about recycling and composting at school and at home. LSI provided a list of schools visited in Rate Year 10 and informed HF&H that no schools were visited or requested virtual presentations in Rate Year 11 due to COVID restrictions. HF&H’s review of the number of classroom visits in Rate Year 10 estimated 58 classroom presentations, which is below the requested level in the Agreement.
Special Events Education and Outreach Activities
LSI is required to participate in exhibit booths at special events, assist the City with sponsored events, and assist with the Arroyo Clean-Up. LSI confirmed that while the clean-up did not occur in Rate Year 11, likely due to complications related to COVID, they are still the sponsor for the Arroyo Clean-Ups. LSI’s documentation confirms attendance and participation at these events. The City also informed HF&H that they do see LSI attending community workshops and feel that LSI is actively assisting the City with sponsored events.
Recommendation
• HF&H recommends LSI update their website to include the Single-Family address search feature and the multi-family ‘green’ complex search feature. additional information related to home composting should be included directly on the website under the Single-Family pages. • HF&H recommends LSI include service-related announcements on bills for single-family, multi-family, and commercial customers and include annual clean-up information on single-family bill inserts. • HF&H recommends that the City condition the Assignment on an agreement that if WC’s educational materials are not of a quality acceptable to the City, WC will fund a third-party education contractor to work with the City to design and produce the collateral required by the Agreement. • HF&H recommends that LSI and the City meet and confer regarding the use of local television and radio for promotional activities and adjust outreach material based on the results of this discussion.
EXHIBIT B
238
• The commercial corrective action notice should be approved by the City, when complete, and used as appropriate to educate Commercial customers.
A-3. Performance Standards Analysis
The Agreement establishes specific performance standards for LSI’s drivers and customer service representatives (CSR), as documented in Sections 5.18 and 6.11. The performance standards focused around consistent and frequent trainings on safety and upcoming customer-related programs. CSRs are also required to periodically call commercial food scrap customers to confirm their understanding of the program.
HF&H reviewed the monthly driver safety training records, the CSRs’ quarterly training material, and the technical assistance logs to verify that LSI was meeting the requirements as specified in the Agreement.
The driver training records provided sufficient detail on the topic and attendance of the meetings. The CSR quarterly training material included City-specific collection program updates and internal system updates for new organics programs or fees.
HF&H referenced materials and reports gathered as part of its role as Executive Director for the West Valley Solid Waste Management Authority (WVSWMA) where a Waste Connection affiliate (WVC&R) is the service provider. In reviewing reports related to driver and CSR performance, it was found that WVC&R has frequently had long wait times for customer calls. From January 2021 to August 2022, HF&H has performed 175 “secret shopper” calls to log WVC&R call response times for the WVSWMA jurisdictions. The average response time for these calls was over 7 minutes, more than triple the current contractually obligated 2 minutes referenced in section 6.9.4 of the Agreement with LSI. HF&H also found that WVC&R had an average of 200 to 250 missed collection pickups per month over the past five years in their contract with WVSWMA. A double missed pick-up is defined as the failure to collect material that was properly set out from the same customer on two consecutive scheduled pickup days. WVC&R incurred 30 instances of a double missed pick-ups in FY 21-22 alone. Liquidated Damages assessments have been made for these missed pick-ups and for “double-misses” annually, with over $7,000 of assessments made in the past year.
Findings
LSI has met performance standards related to driver safety training and CSR training or activities. While reference checks with the contacts WC provided did not yield complaints about customer service or missed collections, HF&H’s personal experience as contract manager for districts WC serves demonstrates that this has been an issue for WC.
Recommendations
HF&H recommends that LSI maintain a local, bay area call center and retain the number of CSRs required in the agreement in order to help ensure that call response times do not increase and negatively impact customer experience should assignment be granted. HF&H also recommends that new CSR**s continue with the training protocols currently in place and that new CSR hires take “ride-alongs” with drivers in Livermore to familiarize themselves with the service area and meet with City staff periodically to get the City’s perspective on community concerns, programs, and services.
EXHIBIT B
239
A-4. Billing Analysis
HF&H reviewed 35 invoices selected from LSI’s April billing database to test for billing errors. Of the 35 selections, 15 were from residential customers, 15 were from commercial and multi-family customers, and 5 were from roll-off customers. The selections included a variety of service levels and miscellaneous charges.
Each invoice was compared to the current rate sheet published on LSI’s website. Charges were checked against the rate sheet items for corresponding customer types and service levels. HF&H noted the amount LSI billed for each charge, and the correct charge for each line item.
Findings
There were no systemic issues found in LSI’s billing review and all reviewed invoices were correct.
Recommendation
HF&H recommend that in addition to third-party billing audits, LSI perform periodic audits of their billing system to ensure customers are charged according to the rate sheet.
A-5. Facilities Use Analysis
The City approved specific disposal, recyclable processing, composting, and C&D processing sites for LSI to deliver the City’s material. The approved disposal and C&D processing site is Republic Service’s Vasco Sanitary Landfill in unincorporated Alameda County. The approved recyclables processing site is Alameda County Industries LLC in San Leandro. The approved composting facility is Blossom Valley Organics North Composting Site in Vernalis. HF&H confirmed LSI was using the approved disposal site by reviewing LSI’s Recycling and Disposal Reporting System (RDRS) export detailing disposal by facility for 2020 and 2021.
HF&H confirmed that LSI uses the approved processing facilities for the City through review of weight tickets for trucks on recyclable materials, compostable materials, and C&D routes.
Findings
LSI is in compliance with delivery of materials to the approved facilities listed in the Agreement.
WC has recently been noticed of an intent to assess liquidated damages for delivering commercial organic material collected in the WVSWMA service area to the residential composting facility, resulting in disposal of more than 60 loads of commercial and multi-family organic materials. WC self-reported the error and indicated that it was done in an effort to save costs. The issue was immediately corrected, and WC was fully cooperative in supplying records and reports evidencing the matter.
Recommendation
It is recommended that LSI add a tonnage reconciliation by facility table to quarterly and annual tonnage reports for the City. HF&H also recommends that tonnage audits be performed periodically to ensure that material continues to be sent to the approved facilities should assignment be approved.
A-6. Asset Analysis
HF&H conducted a detailed review of LSI’s vehicle capital. Current vehicle inventory data was provided by LSI and compared to the vehicle capital proposed in Exhibit G2 Form 4 of the Agreement.
EXHIBIT B
240
Findings
Livermore Vehicle Capital
LSI proposed 39 total vehicles to service the City in the Agreement signed in 2008 and added an additional 3 vehicles during the Rate Period 8 cost-based review. As of the 2022 inventory listing, LSI owns 56 vehicles, which is more than the minimum requirements to service the City. Additionally, HF&H confirmed that the collection vehicles are operating on compressed natural gas(CNG), as required in the Agreement, by reviewing fuel purchases during the most recent cost-based rate adjustment and noting the continuation of the CNG index in the rate adjustment methodology. A summary of the vehiclesis provided in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: LSI Vehicle Inventory Capital
The third amendment to the Agreement required LSI to provide a fleet of new collection vehicles sufficient in number and capacity to efficiently perform the work required in the Agreement. Based on LSI’s inventory listing, the overall number of new collection vehicles is above the minimum required per Exhibit G2. However, there are two few side loaders and four additional front and rear loaders. LSI is likely using the additional front and rear loading vehicles instead of the originally proposed side loaders based on the account types within the City. The findings are summarized in the table below.

to submission dates in order to verify timely submission to the City, in our conversations with the City they did not indicate to HF&H that any of LSI’s reports were submitted late. When reviewing annual, quarterly, and monthly reports, HF&H noted any inaccuracies or missing information and included them in the findings below.
Findings
Monthly Reporting
HF&H found that LSI was generally compliant with the monthly reporting requirements, with the following exceptions:
Non-Compliant
• A list of accounts that are sixty (60) days past due, including information related to the account or the methods of collection of the bad debt, was not included in the monthly reports. • The annual community garage sale event, which only occurred in Rate Year 11 (2021), was not documented in the June or July 2021 monthly report.
Partial Compliance
• The monthly reports did not include sufficient detail related to the marketable tonnage or residual tonnage of compostable materials or C&D materials.
• The monthly reports did not include sufficient detail related to new multi-family and commercial recyclable and compostable material accounts for cart, bin, and drop box service.
Quarterly Reporting
HF&H found that LSI’s quarterly reports were incomplete or missing key information, as further described below:
Non-Compliance
• Quarterly reports did not include current or historical quarterly averages of data for comparison. • No information was provided on participation percentages by service type and material stream or on the percentage of commercial service volume that is recyclable material and compostable material.
• No information was provided related to pilot and new programs or a summary assessment of the overall solid waste, recyclable materials, and compostable materials programs from LSI’s perspective. • Neither a vehicle inventory nor an education plan for the coming rate period were included in the quarterly reports.
Partial Compliance
• Account information, tonnage data, and diversion levels included in the quarterly reports were described in insufficient detail.
• While the customer service representative trainings were provided in quarterly reports, the reports did not include the date and time of the next quarter’s meeting. • A revenue report summarizing monthly revenue was included in the quarterly reports, but it did not compare the revenues with the compensation and gross rate revenue expectations.
EXHIBIT B
242
Annual Reporting
HF&H found that LSI’s annual reports were incomplete or missing key information, as further described below:
Non-Compliance
• The annual reports did not include LSI’s annual financial statements, an equipment inventory, sufficient personnel details, material revenues, a recyclable materials market plan, a commercial and multi-family program performance report, or the income-based subscription report.
Partial Compliance
• Route information, productivity statistics, operational changes, and historical tonnage were provided in the annual report, but it did not include all details as required in the Agreement.
Recommendation
• LSI should compare the reporting requirements as described in Sections 6.3 and 6.4 and ensure all future monthly, quarterly, and annual reports to include all reports, documents, and detail asrequired in the Agreement. Due to issues identified with regard to public education in section 2.A.2 of this report above, particular focus should be placed on provision of public education plans that should be provided as part of reports to the City.
A-8. Fee Payment Review
HF&H reviewed a random selection of LSI’s fee remittances for the City for accuracy and completeness.
Findings
• HF&H recalculated the 11% franchise fee for May 2021 through November 2021 and tied the monthly remittance to the receipts received by the City. No variances in calculation were found in our selection.
• LSI remitted the complete Franchise Monitoring and Enforcement Fee, Street Sweeping Fee, Vehicle Impact Fee, and Neighborhood Preservation Fee for Rate Year 9, Rate Year 10, and Rate Year 11.
HF&H’s recalculation of the annual increase of the various fee yielded small variances from the total remitted by LSI due to rounding. The variance is insignificant in comparison to the total remittance. • LSI remitted the complete SB 1383 Fee for Rate Year 10 and Rate Year 11. HF&H’s recalculation of the SB 1383 Fee’s annual increase yielded small variances from the total remitted by LSI due to rounding.
The variance is insignificant in comparison to the total remittance.
Recommendation
HF&H recommends that both the City and LSI continue to review fee payments to make sure that they are in compliance with the Agreement. That includes making sure fees are escalated appropriately each year where allowed by the Agreement.
A-9. Insurance and Performance Bonds Review
HF&H reviewed the insurance and performance bond requirementslisted in Section 9.5 of the Agreement.
A summary of LSI’s insurance requirements is provided in Figure 3 below. LSI provided copies of current
EXHIBIT B
243
insurance certificates and the performance bond for HF&H to review. A summary of documents provided by LSI is included in Figure 3 as well.

EXHIBIT B
244
Findings
HF&H has found that LSI’s insurance requirements do not conform exactly to the requirements in the Agreement. As shown above, the titles of the insurance, the coverage levels and the use of an umbrella policy do not appear to be in line with the minimum insurance requirements. While the umbrella policy may provide financial coverage to insurance areas with deficient coverage, HF&H is not an insurance expert and cannot assert an opinion on the completeness of coverage through alternative insurance mechanisms. HF&H recommends that the City’s Risk Manager review the documents provided to HF&H and determine whether LSI has satisfied the minimum insurance requirements and continues to update and meet the minimum performance bond amount.
Recommendation
HF&H recommends LSI review the minimum requirements of the Agreement and obtain revised insurance coverage that meets the qualitative and quantitative requirements of the Agreement. HF&H also recommends the City’s Risk Manager follow-up with LSI in the coming months to confirm LSI has obtained revised insurance coverage and annually to confirm LSI is maintaining sufficient coverage.
A-10. Liquidated Damages Assessment
HF&H requested information from LSI and the City to determine whether any liquidated damages have ever been assessed against LSI. LSI claims that no liquidated damages have been assessed or paid to customers or local governments within the past five years. The City has confirmed LSI has not breached contract or been assessed liquidated damages in the past five years.
HF&H inquired about liquidated damages and breaches of contract assessed against WC during reference checks. No respondents noted that liquidated damages had been assessed. WC represented to HF&H staff through a request for information that no liquidated damages had been assessed in the past five years.
As the Executive Director for WVSWMA, HF&H is aware that over the past five years WVC&R (WC affiliate) has been assessed liquidated damages annually in an average amount exceeding $10,000 each year.
Findings
WC stated that they had not paid liquidated damages to customers or local governments related to solid waste operations when, in fact, they had. HF&H reached out to WC to inquire why these liquidated damages were not reported in the request for information. WC stated that as a publicly traded company they are overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and had no liquidated damages that met the materiality threshold for reporting requirements of those two entities, and therefore did not report those damages as they did not believe them to be relevant. Upon a second request for all liquidated damages assessed upon WC, the company provided liquidated damages assessed by the WVSWMA as a result of performance standards violations and facilities use violations as described in sections A.3 and A.5 of this report.
Recommendation
HF&H recommends that the City, LSI, and WC review the performance obligations to ensure that operations are in compliance, and continue to be in compliance with the Agreement. The City has similar performance standards and liquidated damage thresholds to the WVSWMA agreement, and the City should continue to monitor the reports and service provided by LSI or the acquiring company should
EXHIBIT B
245
Assignment be granted. Should changes in collection quality or reliability against the performance standards of the Agreement degrade, the City should work with its contractor to add resources to remedy those issues.
B. Review of Assignment Terms
HF&H reviewed the proposed terms of the change in control between the Franchisee and Assignee, which included the information required by Section 12.5 of the Agreement. This review, along with the review performed in Section 2.C Review of Financial Condition of Franchisee and Assignee (below), is intended to assess whether the proposed sale would create undue risk to the City and/or ratepayers resulting from the transaction.
Findings
Upon review of the terms of Assignment (and the review of the financial condition of the Franchisee and Assignee seen in Section 2.C below), HF&H has concluded that the Assignee should be able to make a reasonable return on investment without creating undue risk to the City and/or ratepayers resulting from the transaction. Calculations based on the financial statements provided by the Franchisee show the Franchisee is in good health and meets, and should continue to meet, favorable returns based on industry standards. Additionally, the return-on-investment calculation has been demonstrated to fall within reasonable industry ranges.
Additionally, the acquisition of this book of business will allow for WC to potentially benefit from extension of the Agreement, along with the strategic benefit of being the incumbent service provider should the City wish to go out to a competitive request for proposal.
Recommendation
HF&H recommends that the City continue to monitor operations and ensure that the Assignee continues to provide operations that meet the obligations of the Agreement throughout the remaining term of the Agreement. LSI should maintain the current customer service/outreach manager position, and three outreach/public education positions, along with its four customer service representatives, currently staffed to serve the City exclusively. LSI also should maintain its current accounting/billing staffing levels of 0.5 FTE controllers, 1 FTE staff accountant, and 2 FTE accounting clerks. These recommendations are essential to maintaining the level of customer service that the City currently receives. The robust reporting requirements, performance and billing reviews, along with the scheduled cost-based rate adjustments, should be sufficient to monitor and ensure that the Assignee is continuing to operate in accordance with the Agreement.
C. Review of Financial Condition of Franchisee and Assignee HF&H reviewed financial statements and other financial materials from both the Franchisee and Assignee to determine the financial health and stability of both. This included reviewing LSI’s and WC’s income statement and balance sheet for two full years and documenting key financial ratios. HF&H compared these financial ratios to benchmarks for companies of a similar size within the solid waste industry. Based on this review and the information obtained during Section 2.B (above), HF&H has provided the results of this analysis and its opinion on whether the individual financial performance of the company is adequate to recover a reasonable return on the investment of the Assignee, and to maintain ongoing operating costs of the Franchisee without compromising operational performance under the Agreement. As appropriate, HF&H worked with WC, the proposed Assignee, to determine the confidentiality of various
EXHIBIT B
246
documents provided by the Franchisee and Assignee and established appropriate procedures in maintaining that confidentiality.
HF&H calculated five financial ratios as described below:
Current Ratio: The current ratio roughly measures a company’s ability to pay its current obligations. It is a measure of liquidity; the higher the ratio, the more liquid. It is calculated as the Total Current Assets / Total Current Liabilities.
Quick Ratio: The quick ratio is a more conservative measure than the current ratio to measure a company’s ability to pay its obligations using only the most liquid assets. The higher the ratio, the more liquid. It is calculated as (Cash + Accounts Receivable) / Total Current Liabilities.
Debt to Equity Ratio: The debt to equity ratio measures the relationship between capital contributed by creditors and capital contributed by owners. A low ratio indicates greater financial safety and borrowing flexibility. It is calculated as Total Liabilities / Owners Equity.
Current Debt to Worth Ratio: The current debt to worth ratio expresses the relationship between capital contributed by owners and current capital contributed by creditors. The lower the ratio, the more easily it can cover or meet its debt obligation without having to sell a lot of assets. It is calculated as Current Liabilities / Net Worth
Profit Margin: The profit margin calculation measures a company’s return on total sales. The higher the margin, the more return on its operations. It is calculated as Profit Before Taxes / Total Sales.
Findings
As summarized in the table below, WC and LSI are in equal standing in 2020 as compared to the industry benchmarks, but WC is slightly more favorable in 2021. The financial performance of WC is adequate to recover a reasonable return on the investment and maintain ongoing operating costs without compromising operational performance under the Agreement.

D. Review of Experience and Qualifications of Assignee
HF&H reviewed information regarding the experience, qualifications, and performance of the Assignee to assess their ability to perform at or above the levels of the current Franchisee. The experience and qualifications review included an evaluation of biographies, case studies, organizational charts, and reference checks. The performance evaluation included a review of WC’s regulatory violations and litigation history.
Findings
Experience and Qualifications
WC represents that it “will continue to utilize the same personnel, vehicles and other equipment as exists today to fulfill all components of the Franchise Agreement.” Bernadette Camara will continue to manage day to day operations, and will report to Paul Nelson, who will in turn report to Dan Schooler.
Furthermore, it does not appear that any lower-level staff will be affected by the change in control.
Reference checks were performed with regard to WC and other communities it serves. Of the references who were responsive to our calls and emails for discussion, half rated their overall experience with Waste connections a 10/10, with no respondent giving lower than an 8/10. While there may be some bias in reference checks, as it is unlikely a service provider would list a reference they are aware they have a bad relationship with, the results were overwhelmingly positive. Criticism of WC was related to disconnect between the local team and the corporate approval process and discussion about the process the local teams needed to undergo in order to get approval from corporate in order to resolve issues. All references stated they would extend their contracts with WC if given the opportunity, some went as far as saying they would extend up to 25 years.

Litigation and Regulatory Performance
HF&H found that LSI had no liquidated damages of breaches of contract assessed. LSI did have one settlement with a former employee, the settlement amount of which would likely be considered immaterial against LSI’s balance sheet.
HF&H has reviewed WC’s litigation history for the past five years, and there are only a few material things to note:
• In 2017, WC’s subsidiary Chiquita Canyon, LLC filed an appeal to a decision from the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning with regard to conditions, fees and exactions that reduced their landfill operations and represented a large increase in taxes and fees. Litigation is ongoing.
• In 2017, WC was issued a notice of violation related to a failure to pay fees. WC maintains that this fee was being contested in litigation noted above.
Recommendation
Experience and Qualifications
HF&H recommends that the City require WC to notify them if, and when, any key staff, reporting, accounting, outreach and education, or CSR positions become vacant. If and when vacancies occur, the Assignee should provide the City with updates about attempts to fill the position so that the current staffing metrics are maintained. Additionally, HF&H believes that a performance review should be performed within the first two years of Assignment should it be granted in order to ensure the quality of service rate payers receive is maintained and that all positions remain filled.
Litigation and Regulatory Performance
None of the litigation and regulatory issues identified are directly related to WC’s operations. The City may wish to periodically monitor WC’s compliance with applicable laws through the periodic performance and billing reviews that are allowed under the Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
THIS GUARANTY (the "Guaranty") is given as of the [___] day of [_____], 2022, by Waste Connections US, Inc., a Delaware corporation, ("GUARANTOR"), to the City of Livermore, a California municipal corporation and general law city ("CITY").
THIS GUARANTY is made with reference to the following facts and circumstances:
A. Livermore Sanitation, Inc., a California corporation (the "CONTRACTOR") and CITY have executed that Third Amended and Restated Agreement Between the City of Livermore and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. for Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials and Compostable Materials Services, dated April 27, 2020, as amended (“Agreement”), which is incorporated herein by this reference.
B. Section 12.5 and 12.5.2(B) of the Agreement require the CITY’s approval of any assignment of the Agreement, which may be conditioned on the assignee’s provision of a guaranty to guarantee the performance of the Agreement.
C. Guarantor has proposed acquiring the common stock of CONTRACTOR as acknowledged that certain First Amendment to the Agreement, which constitutes an assignment under the Agreement.
D. CITY is willing to consent to the assignment of the Agreement as set forth in the First Amendment to the Agreement provided that GUARANTOR executes this Guaranty.
E. GUARANTOR is providing this Guaranty to induce CITY to approve the assignment of the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, GUARANTOR agrees as follows:
1. Guaranty of the Agreement. GUARANTOR hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the CITY the complete and timely performance, satisfaction and observation by CONTRACTOR of each and every term and condition of the Agreement which CONTRACTOR is required to perform, satisfy or observe. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to perform, satisfy or observe any of the terms or conditions of the Agreement, GUARANTOR will promptly and fully perform, satisfy or observe them in the place of the CONTRACTOR.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.9
DATE: November 28, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Spence, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution rescinding the Garaventa Hills Project Approvals and Environmental Impact Report.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution rescinding the certification of the Re-Issued Final Environmental Impact Report, Findings and Facts, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and approvals of a Vesting Tentative Tract Map and Site Plan Design Review in Resolution Nos. 2019-050 and 2019-051.
SUMMARY
On April 22, 2019, the City Council certified a Re-Issued Final Environmental Impact Report (RFEIR) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and adopted Findings and Facts and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, approval of a Vesting Tentative Tract Map and Site Plan Design Review for the Garaventa Hills residential project. The RFEIR reviewed the impacts of the implementation of the proposed 47-unit Garaventa Hills Project.
On May 23, 2019, Save The Hill Group filed a lawsuit challenging the RFEIR certification and approval of the project. The Superior Court of the County of Alameda denied the group's challenge. Save The Hill Group appealed, and the Court of Appeal reversed the Superior Court's decision. On September 26, 2022, the Superior Court then specifically directed the City to rescind the certification of the RFEIR and approval of the subdivision and site plan design review within 60 days (November 25). The City must demonstrate compliance with the rescission order to the Superior Court within 75 days (December 10).
DISCUSSION
On April 22, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-050 certifying the RFEIR and Resolution No. 2019-051 approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8094 and Site Plan Design Review for the Garaventa Hills project. The project was for 38 detached single-family units, six attached, affordable single-family residential units, an open space buffer around the perimeter of the site, two open space knolls, public trails, and a privately owned street.
260
On May 23, 2019, Save The Hill Group filed a lawsuit against the City of Livermore and the project applicant Lafferty Communities challenging the RFEIR certification and the approval of the project. On September 23, 2020, the Superior Court for the County of Alameda denied the group’s petition for writ of mandate, finding they failed to exhaust their administrative remedies by raising their claims that the noproject alternative analyzed in the RFEIR was inadequate, and denying the remainder of their claims that the RFEIR was inadequate.
Save the Hill Group appealed, and the Court of Appeal for the First Appellate District reversed the trial court, finding the group’s members sufficiently exhausted their claims by asserting that the City should vote to preserve the project site permanently as open space, instead of developing it, using potential funding from the Altamont Landfill Settlement Agreement and Dougherty Valley Settlement Agreement.
The Court ruled that the City failed to comply with CEQA by disclosing the potential availability of funding for open space acquisition and discussing the potential feasibility of this option in the no-project alternative analysis. The Court upheld the trial court’s denial of the remainder of the group’s claims challenging the adequacy of the City’s compliance with CEQA.
In a Writ of Mandamus issued on September 26, 2022, the trial court specifically directed that the City:
(1) vacate and set aside its certification of the RFEIR and approval of the project within 60 days of the service of the writ; and (2) to make an initial return to the writ demonstrating compliance with this first command of the writ within 75 days of service of the writ. Staff recommends the Council adopt the attached Resolution to accomplish the first step. If adopted, the City Attorney will direct outside counsel to file the required return with the court to document the completion of this step of compliance with the writ.
The applicant and property owner have the right to bring the project back for re-review by the City in the future, which would include revising the RFEIR to analyze the no-project alternative to address the inadequacies identified by the Court of Appeal. This step would involve a re-review of the project and environmental document by the City Council. The applicant has indicated an interest in pursuing this step but has not submitted an application at this time.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
There are no significant fiscal or administrative impacts associated with adopting the proposed Resolution. Staff time and resources will be used to provide documentation demonstrating compliance to the Superior Court by December 10, 2022.

A RESOLUTION RESCINDING THE VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP,
SITE PLAN DESIGN REVIEW, RE-ISSUED FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT, FINDINGS OF FACT, AND MITIGATION MONITORING
AND REPORTING PROGRAM FOR THE GARAVENTA HILLS PROJECT
On April 22, 2019, the City Council of the City of Livermore, California, adopted Resolution No. 2019-050, certifying the Re-Issued Final Environmental Impact Report (RFEIR) and adopting Findings and Facts and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Garaventa Hills Project.
Also on April 22, 2019, the City Council of the City of Livermore, California, adopted Resolution No. 2019-051, approving a Vesting Tentative Tract Map (8094) and Site Plan Design Review (13-005) for the Garaventa Hills Project.
On May 23, 2019, an unincorporated association called Save The Hill Group filed a petition for writ of mandate pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in Alameda County Superior Court.
On September 23, 2020, the Alameda County Superior Court filed a judgment denying Save The Hill Group’s petition.
On November 23, 2020, Save the Hill Group appealed the superior court’s judgment to the Court of Appeal for the First Appellate District.
On March 31, 2022, the First Appellate District Court of Appeal issued a decision reversing the superior court’s judgment, finding Save the Hill Group adequately exhausted its claims regarding the inadequacy of the “no project” alternative analyzed in the RFEIR and that the City violated CEQA by failing to consider and analyze in the no project alternative the feasibility of permanently preserving the Garaventa Hills Project site as open space using funds from either the Altamont Landfill Settlement Agreement or the Dougherty Valley Settlement Agreement.
On September 26, 2022, the Alameda County Superior Court issued a writ of mandate commanding the City to (1) vacate and set aside its certification of the RFEIR and approval of the project within 60 days of the service of the writ and (2) to make an initial return to the writ demonstrating compliance with this first command of the writ within 75 days of service of the writ.
Also on September 26, 2022, the Alameda County Superior Court entered an amended order and judgment in favor of Save The Hill Group as to the need to analyze potential preservation of the Project site as open space in the revised EIR’s no project alternative analysis before considering whether to reapprove the Garaventa Hills Project. 263

The following Findings, the mitigation measures specified herein, and the Mitigation Monitoring Program attached hereto are hereby adopted by the Livermore City Council in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA "), Public Resources Code ( " PRC ") Sections 21081, 21081. 5, 21081. 6, and 21166, and the CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Sections 15091 through 15093, and Section 15162 for the Garaventa Hills Project (Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8094 SUB13 -001) and Site Plan Design Review ( SPDR) 13 -005).
A. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS
The Project is comprised of the following:
1. The Project is is a 44 -unit single - family residential subdivision on a vacant, approximately 32 -acre site. A westerly extension of Bear Creek Drive provides access to the internal residential street circumscribing the site' s two prominent knolls.
Single- family detached lot sizes range from 8, 740 square feet to 13, 160 square feet with homes between 2, 390 to 3, 150 square feet in size, excluding garage. The duet lots range in size from 4, 370 square feet to 5, 375 square feet with homes of either 1, 380 or 1, 690 square feet in size, excluding garage. The duet units are attached along one wall, but each unit is on an individual lot with a property line located in the center of the shared wall. Lots and roadways will comprise approximately 40 percent of the site, with the remaining land reserved for open space buffers on the site' s edges, undeveloped knolls with pedestrian trails, and a storm water detention basin with outfall pipe to Altamont Creek.
The City determined that an Environmental Impact Report ( " EIR ") would be prepared for the Project. The requirements for an EIR, under CEQA, are set forth in PRC 21100 and 21100. 1 and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15120 et. seq.
On November 18, 2011, the City issued a Notice of Preparation ( NOP) pursuant to CEQA to obtain comments on the proposed scope of the EIR for the Garaventa Hills project. On December 7, 2011, the City held a public scoping meeting for public agencies, organizations, and members of the public to review the proposed project and provide comments on the scope of the environmental review process. On November 8, 2012, a Notice of Availability of the Draft EIR was issued, including notices to interested groups and individuals for a 45 -day public comment period. A Notice of Completion of the Draft EIR, public comment period, and hearing date was published in a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to CEQA. On December 4, 2012, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report Draft EIR) for initial proposal. The initial proposal was for 76 homes with a second access via an extension of Hawk Street and new bridge across Altamont Creek. The proposal included a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from
EXHIBIT A
269
Urban Low Residential, at 1 - 1. 5 dwelling units per acre, to Urban Low Medium Residential, at 2 -3 dwelling units per acre. On December 26, 2012, the public comment period on the Draft EIR was closed. On June 11, 2014, the Final EIR was distributed consisting of copies of all written and oral comments, a list of commenters, all responses to oral and written comments, and an appendix containing minor corrections of the Draft EIR. A notice of the Final EIR availability and certification recommendation hearing date was published in a newspaper of general circulation. The analysis and conclusions contained in the Final EIR reflect the independent judgment of the City.
On August 25, 2018, a Re- Issued Final Environmental Impact Report was made available for public review at City Hall and on the City' s website, along with the Final EIR and Draft EIR. Two ( 2) public notices concerning the documents' availability were provided via mail for properties located within 1, 320 feet of the project site, and published in a local distribution newspaper, on August 25, 2018 and on November 24, 2018. The 2018 Re- Issued Final EIR contains an assessment of the 2018 Revised Project. The responses to comments were reassessed in light of the 2018 Revised Project and revisions to the responses are provided as appropriate. None of the revisions or other information contained in the Re- Issued Final EIR would be considered " significant new information" under section 15088. 5 of the CEQA Guidelines and therefore no recirculation of the Draft EIR is required.
B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The 2018 Re- Issued Final Environmental Impact Report, together with the Draft EIR published in November 2012, and the Final EIR published in June 2014 shall constitute the Environmental Impact Report ( EIR) prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA). A detailed description of the Project is included in the Environmental Impact Report ( "EIR "). The project analyzed within the Re- Issued Final EIR is comprised of the following components described below.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map ( Subdivision). The Vesting Tentative Tract Map will subdivide the site into 47 individual parcels, including 38 detached single - family residential lots, 6 attached single - family residential lots, and 3 homeowners association HOA) parcels that include an open space buffer around the perimeter of the site, a storm water detention basin, the two knolls, public trails, and a private road.
Site Plan Design Review. Site Plan Design Review provides for review of the site plan, streetscape, architecture, and landscaping details.
C. SIGNIFICANT UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE IMPACTS
Per the analysis of environmental aspects in the Draft EIR, the proposed Project would not result in significant and unavoidable adverse impacts.
D. SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS IDENTIFIED IN THE EIR THAT ARE REDUCED TO A LEVEL OF " LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT" BY THE MITIGATION
MEASURES INCORPORATED INTO THE PROJECT
The following significant impacts have been identified that would be reduced to less than significant with mitigation measures incorporated into the Project. The significant impacts identified below are presented in summary form. For a detailed description of the significant impacts and mitigation measures, see the appropriate text in the EIR.
K
EXHIBIT A
270
Air Quality
Impact Air -1: Construction Period Dust, Emissions and Odors. Construction of the Project would result in temporary emissions of dust, diesel exhaust and odors that may result in both nuisance and health impacts. Without appropriate measures to control these emissions, these impacts would be considered significant.
Mitigation Measure Air -1: Basic Construction Management Practices. The Project shall demonstrate proposed compliance with all applicable regulations and operating procedures prior to issuance of demolition, building or grading permits, including implementation of the following BAAQMD "Basic Construction Mitigation Measures ".
All exposed surfaces ( e. g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.
All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off -site shall be covered.
All visible mud or dirt track -out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.
All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph.
All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible. Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes ( as required by the California airborne toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [ CCR]). Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all access points.
All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in proper condition prior to operation.
Post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at the Lead Agency regarding dust complaints. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 48 hours. The Air District' s phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
2. Biological Resources
Impact Bio -1: Loss of Annual Grasslands. The Project will result in the permanent removal of up to 31. 78 acres of non - native annual grassland habitat. An additional up to 1. 18 acres will be temporarily disturbed for construction of the pedestrian bridge and EVA access road over Altamont Creek. Non - native annual grasslands are common throughout the region and removal of this plant community is not considered a significant impact unless special status species are known to use the habitat. Because the site has the potential to support several special status species, this impact would be considered potentially significant.
Mitigation Measures Bio -3a, 3b, 3c, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, and 5c would reduce this impact to less than significant levels through mitigation specific to the special status species that the site could support.
Impact Bio -2: Loss of Designated Critical Habitat for Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp. The Project will result in the permanent loss of up to 31. 78 acres of grassland that is included 9 EXHIBIT A

within designated VPFS critical habitat. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Bio -2: Construction - Period Protection of Offsite Wetlands and Vernal Pools. The applicant shall implement the following measures to minimize the potential impact to off -site wetlands and vernal pools resulting from construction activities on the Project site.
a) Stormwater Best Management Practices shall be implemented during construction activities to avoid the potential for sediments and other pollutants to enter the offsite wetland areas.
b) Install fencing and signage identifying the limits of the wetlands and providing a physical barrier to keep construction equipment and personnel out of the sensitive habitat areas.
c) Schedule grading in close proximity to offsite vernal pools during the non -rainy season in order to minimize potential for sedimentation of the pools. d) Stabilize the natural vegetated buffer between the grading area and the offsite wetlands during the early phases of construction so that it serves as a protective barrier for the wetlands. Stabilization can be accomplished through establishment of vegetation and /or temporary Best Management Practices to prevent erosion and sedimentation from occurring, such as erosion control mats, silt fences, fiber rolls, and /or soil binders.
Mitigation Measure Geo - 5, which requires implementation of a construction - period stormwater pollution prevention plan including Best Management Practices for preventing construction - period stormwater pollution through soil stabilization, sediment control, wind erosion control, soil tracking control, non -storm water management, and waste management and materials pollution control, would also help to mitigate Impact Bio -2.
Impact Bio -3: Potential Take of Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp. The Project will result in the permanent loss of approximately 0. 004 acre of seasonal wetland that could be occupied by VPFS. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Bio -3a: Conduct surveys to determine presence /absence of VPFS.
Complete surveys following protocol deemed acceptable by the USFWS to determine presence / absence of VPFS in the seasonal wetland on the Project site prior to initiation of construction. The presence of VPFS can be assumed instead of implementing the surveys required by this measure. If no VPFS are found, no further mitigation is required. If VPFS are found or assumed to be present, implement Mitigation Measures 3b and 3c.
Mitigation Measure Bio -3b: Obtain Authorization from USFWS for take of VPFS. If VPFS are found as a result of directed surveys or are assumed to be present, the Project applicant shall obtain authorization from USFWS for take of VPFS prior to filling or disturbance of the seasonal wetland. USFWS authorization may be obtained through Section 7 of the ESA as a component of the USACE permitting process ( see wetland impacts below).
Mitigation Measure Bio -3c: Obtain offsite compensatory habitat for loss of VPFS habitat if determined to be present. If VPFS are found as a result of directed surveys or are assumed to be present, compensatory habitat shall be provided for loss of this habitat at a 9: 1, 10: 1 or 11: 1 mitigation ratio depending on the location of the mitigation site, as recommended in the East Alameda County Conservation Strategy (EACCS).

agency approved mitigation site
Impact Bio -4: The Project will result in the permanent loss of up to 31. 78 acres and temporary disturbance of up to 0. 08 acre of potential upland aestivation habitat for CTS. In addition, loss of the 0. 004 acre seasonal wetland could result in loss of onsite breeding habitat for CTS. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Bio -4a: Obtain Authorization from USFWS and CDFG for potential take of CTS. The Project applicant shall obtain authorization from USFWS and CDFW for potential take of CTS prior to initiation of any ground disturbance activities.
Mitigation Measure Bio -4b: Obtain Offsite Compensatory Habitat for Loss /Disturbance of Potential Upland Aestivation Habitat for CTS. The compensatory habitat shall be provided at a 2. 5: 1 to 3: 1 ratio for acres permanently lost and at a 1. 5: 1 ratio for areas temporarily disturbed, as recommended in the EACCS. Final replacement ratios shall be based on the assessed functions and values of an agency approved mitigation site. The mitigation site should be of sufficient quality and quantity to fully offset the permanent loss of habitat and should be permanently protected and managed in perpetuity with sufficient funding to maintain and enhance the quality of the site for CTS.
Mitigation Measure Bio -4c: Implement Appropriate Measures during Construction to Minimize Potential Take of CTS. Minimization measures specified in the authorizations obtained from USFWS and CDFW shall be implemented prior to and during construction: Such measures could include the following:
Project applicant shall contract with a Designated Biologist approved by USFWS and CDFW to monitor construction activities.
All earthwork in the construction area shall be confined to the period of June 15 to October 31, or as approved by USFWS and CDFW.
A barrier with one -way ramps shall be constructed around the limits of grading in the fall prior to the initiation of construction. This barrier will allow CTS to move out of the construction area during the fall /winter and keep them from returning in the spring.
Before any construction activities begin, the Designated Biologist will conduct a training session with construction personnel to describe the CTS and its habitat, the specific measures being implemented to minimize effect to the species, and boundaries of the construction area.
The Designated Biologist shall complete walking surveys of the construction area prior to initiation of ground- disturbing activities each day during the construction period. If any CTS are discovered, the Designated Biologist shall move the animal to a safe, nearby location as predetermined through consultation with USFWS and CDFW.
Impact Bio -5: Loss of Habitat for and Potential Take of Individual California Red - Legged Frogs. The Project will result in the permanent loss of up to 31. 78 acres and temporary disturbance of up to 0. 08 acre of potential upland habitat for CRLF. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Bio -5a: Obtain Authorization from USFWS for Potential Take of CRLF. The Project applicant shall obtain authorization from USFWS for potential take of CRLF prior to initiation of any ground disturbance activities.
Mitigation Measure Bio -5b: Obtain Offsite Compensatory Habitat for Loss /Disturbance 5 EXHIBIT A
273
of Potential Upland Habitat for CRLF. The compensatory habitat shall be provided at a
2. 5: 1 to 3: 1 ratio for the acres permanently lost and at a 1. 5: 1 ratio for areas temporarily disturbed, consistent with the EACCS recommendations for the species. Final replacement ratios shall be based on the assessed functions and values of an agency approved mitigation site. The mitigation site can be the same as that obtained for Mitigation Measure Bio 4b, as long as there is sufficient area to provide habitat for both CRLF and CTS.
Mitigation Measure Bio -5c: Implement Appropriate Measures during Construction to Minimize Potential Take of CRLF. Minimization measures specified in the authorizations obtained from USFWS shall be implemented prior to and during construction. Such measures are expected to be similar to those described for Mitigation Measure 4c.
Impact Bio -6: Loss of burrowing owl habitat and potential harm to individual burrowing owls. The Project will result in the permanent loss of up to 31. 78 acres of grasslands that provide habitat for the burrowing owl. Additionally, individual owls could be harmed during construction activities if they are occupying burrows on the site. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Bio -6a: Obtain Offsite Compensatory Habitat for Loss /Disturbance of potential burrowing owl habitat. The compensatory habitat to be obtained as described for Mitigation Measures Bio -4b and 5b should also be determined as occupied or suitable for burrowing owls in order to compensate for potential habitat loss resulting from the Project.
Mitigation Measure Bio -6b: Conduct a Pre - Construction Burrowing Owl Survey. A pre - construction survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist within 30 days prior to initiation of any ground- disturbing activities to ensure individual owls are not harmed. If the survey occurs during the breeding season ( February 1 to August 31) and owls are observed on or within 250 feet of the area of disturbance, a 250 -foot buffer should be established around the occupied burrow with construction fencing. The fenced area should remain in place for the duration of the breeding season while construction activities are occurring. If the survey is conducted outside of the breeding season and owls are observed, owl eviction may be allowed if authorized by CDFG.
Impact Bio -7: Loss of Potential Habitat and Potential Harm to Individual American Badgers. The Project will result in the permanent loss of up to 31. 78 acres of grassland that could provide suitable habitat for American badger. American badgers are a State Species of Special Concern and are typically found in grasslands where there is sufficient food ( burrowing rodents), friable soils, and relatively open, uncultivated ground.
Badgers have large home ranges, typically from about 395 to 2, 100 acres, and are generally solitary aside from temporary family groups, transient mating bonds, and overlapping home ranges. No badgers or signs of badger use have been observed on the Project site. Although not observed on the Project site, there is potential for American badgers to use burrows on the property. Project construction activities could also harm individual badgers if they occupy the site when grading begins. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Bio -7a: Obtain Offsite Compensatory Habitat for Loss /Disturbance of Potential American Badger Habitat. The compensatory habitat to be obtained as described for Mitigation Measures Bio -4b and 5b will also be determined as occupied or suitable for American badger to compensate for potential habitat loss resulting from the Project.

EXHIBIT A
274
Mitigation Measure Bio -7b: Conduct a Pre - Construction American Badger Survey. A pre- construction survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist no less than 14 days and no more than 30 days prior to the beginning of ground disturbance and /or construction activities or any Project activity likely to impact potential burrows. If occupied burrows are found, one of the following actions shall be implemented by the applicant:
1. Initiate an on -site passive relocation program, through which badgers are excluded from occupied burrows by installation of a one -way door in burrow entrances, monitoring of the burrow for one week to confirm badger usage has been discontinued, and hand excavation and collapse of the burrow to prevent reoccupation; or
2. Have a qualified biologist actively trap and relocate badgers to suitable off -site habitat in coordination with the CDFW.
Impact Bio -8: Loss of potential foraging habitat and potential harm to individual San Joaquin Kit Fox: The Project will result in the permanent loss of up to 31. 78 acres of grassland within the historical range of SJKF. Additionally, there is a slight potential for kit fox to forage or den on the site. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Bio -8a: Obtain Offsite Compensatory Habitat for Loss /Disturbance of potential SJKF habitat. The compensatory habitat to be obtained as described for Mitigation Measures Bio -4b and 5b should also be determined as occupied or suitable for SJKF in order to compensate for potential habitat loss resulting from the Project.
Mitigation Measure Bio -8b: Conduct pre- construction surveys for San Joaquin kit fox:
The pre- construction survey should be conducted by a qualified biologist no less than 14 days and no more than 30 days prior to the beginning of ground disturbance and /or construction activities or any Project activity likely to impact the San Joaquin kit fox.
If potential dens are present, their disturbance and destruction will be avoided.
If potential dens are located within the proposed work area and cannot be avoided during construction, qualified biologist will determine if the dens are occupied or were recently occupied using methodology coordinated with the USFWS and CDFG.
If unoccupied, the qualified biologist will collapse these dens by hand in accordance with USFWS procedures ( U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1999).
Exclusion zones will be implemented following USFWS procedures ( U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1999) or the latest USFWS procedures available at the time.
The radius of these zones will follow current standards or will be as follows:
Potential Den - 50 feet; Known Den - 100 feet; Natal or Pupping Den —to be determined on a case -by -case basis in coordination with USFWS and CDFG.
Pipes will be capped and trenches will contain exit ramps to avoid direct mortality while construction area is active.
Impact Bio -9: Loss of Potential Habitat for and Potential Harm to Western Spadefoot Toad: The Project will result in the permanent loss of 0. 004 acre of potential breeding habitat for western spadefoot toad and up to about 31 acres of potential burrowing habitat. Additionally, there is a slight potential for individual western spadefoot toads to be harmed during construction activities. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Bio -9: Conduct a pre- construction survey for western spadefoot toad. A survey for western spadefoot toad shall be conducted by a qualified biologist a 7 EXHIBIT A
275
maximum of one week prior to construction. The survey should include the potential breeding habitat and an area within 50 feet of that habitat. If a western spadefoot toad is found, the biologist shall move it to suitable habitat in a safe location outside of the construction zone. In the event that a western spadefoot toad is observed within an active construction zone, the contractor shall temporarily halt construction activities until a biologist has moved the toad to a safe location outside the construction zone, within similar habitat.
Impact Bio -10: Disturbance of Nesting Birds. Construction activities could adversely affect nesting birds protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and /or Fish and Game Code of California. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Bio -10: Conduct a Pre - Construction Nesting Bird Survey. Pre - construction surveys for nesting birds protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and /or Fish and Game Code of California shall be conducted within 30 days of initiation of construction activities. The survey area shall include the Project site and areas within 100 feet of the site. If active nests are found, the Project shall follow recommendations of a qualified biologist regarding the appropriate buffer in consideration of species, stage of nesting, location of the nest, and type of construction activity. The buffer shall be maintained until after the nestlings have fledged and left the nest. If there is a complete stoppage in construction activities for 30 days or more, a new nesting - survey shall be completed prior to re- initiation of construction activities.
Impact Bio -11: Fill of Jurisdictional Wetlands: The proposed activity will permanently impact approximately 0. 004 acre of seasonal wetland habitat. This area is jurisdictional waters /wetlands. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Bio11a: Obtain authorization from USACE, CDFG and RWQCB for fill of wetlands and alteration of Altamont Creek. The applicant shall obtain the necessary permits from the USACE, CDFG and RWQCB pursuant to §404 of the Clean Water Act, § 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code, and § 401 of the Clean Water Act, respectively.
Mitigation Measure Bio - 11c: Re- creation of 0. 004 Acre of Seasonal Wetland. The applicant shall create a minimum of 0. 004 acre of seasonal wetland habitat either onsite or offsite to replace the area lost through Project construction. Creation of this habitat shall be done in consultation with USFWS if the existing seasonal wetland is found to support VPFS ( see Mitigation Measure Bio -4c).
3. Cultural Resources
Impact Culture - 1: Disturbance of Unidentified Archaeological Resources, Paleontological Resources, Tribal Resources, or Human Remains. During earth - moving activities at the Project site, it is possible that unidentified archaeological resources, paleontological resources, tribal resources, or human remains could be uncovered and disturbed. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Culture -1a: Halt Construction Activity, Evaluate Find and Implement Mitigation. In the event that previously unidentified archaeological or tribal resources are uncovered during site preparation, excavation or other construction activity, all such activity within 25 feet of the discovery shall cease until the resources have been
EXHIBIT A
276
evaluated by a qualified archaeologist and /or Native American specialist, and specific mitigation measures can be implemented to protect these resources in accordance with sections 21083. 2 and 21084. 1 of the California Public Resources Code.
Mitigation Measure Culture -1b: Prepare Mitigation Plan, Halt Construction Activity, Evaluate Find and Implement Mitigation. Because of the high potential for unique paleontological resources within the Project area, a qualified professional Paleontologist shall prepare a Paleontological Mitigation Plan outlining a paleontological monitoring plan and a salvage plan to be implemented during construction excavation and other ground- disturbing activities for the Project. The Paleontological Mitigation Plan should include the following: in the event that previously unidentified paleontological resources are uncovered during site preparation, excavation or other construction activity, all such activity within 25 feet of the discovery shall cease until the resources have been evaluated by a qualified Paleontologist, and specific mitigation measures can be implemented to protect these resources in accordance with sections 21083. 2 and 21084. 1 of the California Public Resources Code.
Mitigation Measure Culture -1c: Halt Construction Activity, Evaluate Remains and Take Appropriate Action in Coordination with Native American Heritage Commission. In the event that human remains are uncovered during site preparation, excavation or other construction activity, all such activity within 25 feet of the discovery shall cease until the remains have been evaluated by the County Coroner, and appropriate action taken in coordination with the Native American Heritage Commission, in accordance with section of the California Health and Safety Code or, if the remains are Native American, section 5097. 98 of the California Public Resources Code.
4. Geology and Soils
Impact Geo -2: Seismic Hazards. The Project is located in a seismically active region and likely to be subject to strong seismic shaking during the life of the improvements.
The potential for liquefaction is considered to be low, though densification and lateral spreading is possible. The impact related to seismic hazards would be potentially significant.
Mitigation Measure Geo -2: Compliance with a design - level Geotechnical Investigation report prepared by a Registered Geotechnical Engineer and with Structural Design Plans as prepared by a Licensed Professional Engineer. Proper slope and foundation engineering and construction shall be performed in accordance with the recommendations of a Registered Geotechnical Engineer and a Licensed Professional Engineer. The structural engineering design, with supporting Geotechnical Investigation, shall incorporate seismic parameters compliant with the California Building Code.
Impact Geo -3: Unstable Soils and Slope Stability. The topography and soils at the Project site represents a concern for unstable soils and landslides if not properly mitigated. The impact related to unstable soils and landslides would be potentially significant.
Mitigation Measure Geo -2 would also serve to mitigate Impact Geo -3 through requiring compliance with a design - level geotechnical investigation and recommendations. 9 EXHIBIT A
277
Impact Geo -4: Expansive Soils. The Project proposes deep fill in some locations that could result in swell /settlement if not properly mitigated. The impact related to expansive soils would be potentially significant.
Mitigation Measure Geo -2 would also serve to mitigate Impact Geo -4 through requiring compliance with a design - level geotechnical investigation and recommendations.
Impact Geo -5: Construction - Period Soil Erosion. Grading and construction activities will expose soil to the elements, which would be subject to erosion during storm events. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Geo - 5: Construction - Period Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan SWPPP). The Project applicant shall prepare and implement a SWPPP for the proposed construction period. The SWPPP and Notice of Intent ( NOI) must be submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board to receive a Construction General Permit.
The plan shall address National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) requirements, include applicable monitoring, sampling and reporting, and be designed to protect water quality during construction. The Project SWPPP shall include " Best Management Practices" ( BMPs) as required by the State and the Regional Water Quality Control Board for preventing stormwater pollution through soil stabilization, sediment control, wind erosion control, soil tracking control, non -storm water management, and waste management and materials pollution control.
The SWPPP shall take into account the following considerations recommended by the preliminary geotechnical report:
Ponding of stormwater, other than within engineered detention basins, should not be permitted at the site, particularly during work stoppage for rainy weather.
Before the grading is halted by rain, positive slopes should be provided to carry surface runoff to storm drainage structures in a controlled manner to prevent erosion damage.
The tops of fill or cut slopes should be graded in such a way as to prevent water from flowing freely down the slopes. Due to the nature of the site soil and bedrock, graded slopes may experience severe erosion when grading is halted by heavy rain. Therefore, before work is stopped, a positive gradient away from the tops of slopes should be provided to carry the surface runoff away from the slopes to areas where erosion can be controlled. It is vital that no completed slope be left standing through a winter season without erosion control measures having been provided.
Because the existing bedrock is relatively nutrient -poor, it may be difficult for vegetation to become properly established, resulting in a potential for slope erosion. Revegetation of graded slopes can be aided by retaining the organic - rich strippings and spreading these materials in a thin layer ( approximately 6 inches thick) on the graded slopes prior to the winter rains and following rough grading. When utilizing this method, it is sometimes possible to minimize hydroseeding.
5. Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Impact GHG - 1 : Increased GHG Emissions. Construction and operation of the proposed Project would be additional sources of GHG emissions, primarily through consumption of 10 EXHIBIT A
278
fuel for transportation and energy usage on an ongoing basis. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure GHG - 1: Increased Energy Efficiency. The Project shall demonstrate proposed energy efficiency at least 16% greater than Title 24 requirements prior to issuance of building permits.
Impact GHG - 2: Compliance with Livermore Climate Change Element. The Project plans are not detailed enough at this stage to determine consistency with best management practices included in the Climate Change Element of the Livermore General Plan. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure GHG - 2: GHG Emissions Reduction Best Management Practices BMPs). The Project shall demonstrate proposed compliance with City of Livermore General Plan Climate Change Element BMPs prior to issuance of building permits, including the following. If the City' s Climate Action Plan is approved prior to issuance of permits, requirements of the Climate Action Plan can be substituted for the BMPs below.
Climate BMP No. 1 — Energy- efficient buildings in compliance with the Livermore Green Building Ordinance.
Climate BMP No. 2 — Use of energy- efficient appliances that meet Energy Star standards.
Climate BMP No. 3 — Incorporate solar roofs into commercial development.
Residential development to be " solar- ready" including proper solar orientation south facing roof area sloped at 200 to 550 from the horizontal), clear access on the south sloped roof (no chimneys, heating vents, plumbing vents, etc.), electrical conduit installed for solar electric system wiring, plumbing installed for solar hot water system, and space provided for a solar hot water storage tank.
Climate BMP No. 4 — Incorporate transit and bicycle / pedestrian connections into development.
Climate BMP No. 5 — has been omitted as it applies only to Commercial /Industrial projects.
Climate BMP No. 6 — has been omitted as it applies to parking lots and structures.
Climate BMP No. 7 — In compliance with the Construction and Demolition Ordinance, recycle construction materials and divert construction waste from disposal as feasible.
Climate BMP No. 8 — Include recycling facilities to provide for commercial and /or community recycling of plastic, paper, green waste, and food waste.
Climate BMP No. 9 — Incorporate " heat island" treatments including cool roofs, cool pavements, and strategically placed shade trees.
Climate BMP No. 10 —Use landscaping that meets the City' s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
6. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Impact Haz -2: Oil Seepage Possibility. Because there are oil seepage issues on a nearby site, it is possible, though unlikely, that near - surface oil could exist on the Project site. The possibility of future oil seepage from near - surface oil is a potentially significant impact.
11 EXHIBIT A
279
Mitigation Measure Haz -2: Confirm Absence of Near Surface Oil or Implement Overexcavation. The absence of naturally occurring oil should be confirmed during grading of the site. If oil is encountered during grading, the following overexcavation shall be implemented:
The area where naturally occurring near surface oil is encountered shall be overexcavated a minimum of 10 feet below proposed finish grade and replaced with engineered fill. This will provide a low permeable fill cap to prevent the upward migration of oil.
Where proposed storm drain lines cross areas where naturally occurring near surface oil is encountered, the area shall be overexcavated a minimum of 5 feet beyond the outside diameter of the proposed storm drain line. The excavation should be backfilled with engineered fill and the storm drain line trenched through the fill. The storm drain trench within the previously overexcavated and backfilled area should be lined with 20 mil visqueen prior to placement of shading and the storm drain line
7. Hydrology and Water Quality
Impact Hydro -1: Construction - Period Erosion and Siltation. Construction of the proposed Project would involve grading activities that would disturb soils at the site. Such disturbance would present a threat of soil erosion by subjecting unprotected bare soil areas to runoff during construction, which could result in siltation to receiving waters.
This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Geo - 5, which requires implementation of a construction - period stormwater pollution prevention plan including Best Management Practices for preventing construction - period stormwater pollution through soil stabilization, sediment control, wind erosion control, soil tracking control, non -storm water management, and waste management and materials pollution control, would also mitigate Impact Hydro - 1.
8. Traffic / Transportation
Impact Traf -5: Hazards Due to Design Features or Incompatible Uses. The proposed Project includes installation of new internal roadways, trail access to open space areas, provision of a pedestrian and EVA bridge and a new vehicle access points from an existing streets, and a roadway crossing of the Altamont Creek Trail that could result in hazards ifthe details are not properly designed. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Traf -5: Hazards Due to Design Features or Incompatible Uses. The Project's on -site transportation elements, such as sight distances, driveway locations, and marked crosswalk locations, have been reviewed by the Livermore staff with design -level project approvals and meet applicable local regulations. The following design details are recommended, though final details will be determined through consultation with Livermore staff, taking into consideration constraints ofthe site:
a) The stem of each intersection should be stop - controlled or contain other intersection controls.
b) Livermore thoroughfare standards should be followed, which could involve narrowed vehicle lanes, widened sidewalks, reduced corner radii, and installation of corner bulb -outs. Narrower vehicle travel lanes and tighter corner radii with bulb -outs are associated with lower vehicle travel speeds, increased visibility between pedestrians and motorists, and reduce pedestrian roadway exposure. 12 EXHIBIT A
280
c) All mid -block trail crossings should be marked with warning signs and a high - visibility crosswalk and include bulb -outs and lighting to enhance pedestrian visibility.
d) According to Livermore' s Municipal Code 3 -15 -050, driveways should be located more than 20 feet from the corners.
Impact Traf -6: Emergency Access. The proposed Project includes a new internal roadway system that connects with existing roadways that could result in inadequate emergency access if the details are not properly designed. This is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Traf -6: Emergency Access. The Livermore - Pleasanton Fire Department has reviewed the 2018 Revised Project. Conditions of approval for the Vesting Tentative Tract Map include additional design features and measures necessary for emergency response.
Impact Traf -7: Construction. Construction - related impacts generally would not be considered significant due to their temporary and limited duration. However, depending on the construction phasing and truck activity, this is a potentially significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Traf -7: City Review of Construction Plan. It is expected that the construction plan will be reviewed by the City of Livermore and designed to meet applicable regulations.
Impact Traf -10: Laughlin Road & Northfront Road Intersection. The addition of Project trips would have a cumulatively considerable impact on the delay at an intersection already projected to operate below acceptable levels ( an increase of 8. 9 seconds of average delay during the PM peak hour under Cumulative Plus Project conditions). This is a significant impact.
Mitigation Measure Traf -10: Laughlin Road & Northfront Road Intersection Improvements. The Project shall contribute a fair share amount to improvements at this intersection, as determined by the City of Livermore Community Development Department. The improvements shall consist of either A) or B) below, again as determined in coordination with the City of Livermore Community Development Department:
a) Roundabout. Install a roundabout with yield - control at all three intersection legs.
The current vehicle lane configuration would remain, but right -of -way may need to be expanded to accommodate traffic movements through the intersection.
N
b) Signal Control. Signalize the intersection. The current vehicle lane configuration would need to be altered from the existing one lane in each direction to include a left -turn pocket in the eastbound direction and a right -turn pocket in the westbound direction. Right -of -way may need to be expanded to accommodate the turn - pocket lanes at the intersection.
E. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS IDENTIFIED IN THE EIR
The Final EIR identifies the following less than significant impacts. The less than significant impacts identified below are presented in summary form. For a detailed description of the less than significant impacts, see the appropriate text in the EIR. 13 EXHIBIT A
281
The analysis in this EIR identifies the following environmental effects to be less than significant.
1. Aesthetics
2. Agricultural, Forest and Mineral Resources
3. Cultural Resources
4. Land Use and Planning
5. Noise
6. Population, Public Services and Recreation
7. Utilities /Service Systems
F. OTHER CEQA- REQUIRED ASSESSMENTS
Growth- Inducing Impacts
There are two types of growth- inducing impacts that a project may have: direct and indirect. To assess the potential for growth- inducing impacts, the project' s characteristics that may encourage and facilitate activities that individually or cumulatively may affect the environment must be evaluated ( CEQA Guidelines Section 15126. 2( d)).
Direct growth- inducing impacts occur when the development of a project imposes new burdens on a community by directly inducing population growth, or by leading to the construction of additional developments in the same area. Also included in this category are projects that remove physical obstacles to population growth ( such as a new road into an undeveloped area or a wastewater treatment plant with excess capacity that could allow additional development in the service area). Construction of these types of infrastructure projects cannot be considered isolated from the development they facilitate and serve. Projects that physically remove obstacles to growth, or projects that indirectly induce growth may provide a catalyst for future unrelated development in an area such as a new residential community that requires additional commercial uses to support residents.
The Garaventa Hills Project would develop 44 dwelling units. Using the City of Livermore' s 2013 persons per housing rate of 2. 81 ( as reported by the California Department of Finance), the Garaventa Hills project would add 123 persons. The City of Livermore' s 2013 population was reported to be 83, 325 by the California Department of Finance; thus, the addition of 123 persons would represent an increase of 0. 15 percent.
This amount of population growth is considered negligible; therefore, direct population growth would be less than significant. Additionally, the project sites are currently served by urban infrastructure and utilities; thus, development of the proposed projects would not remove a physical barrier to growth. No impacts would occur.
2. Cumulative Impacts
CEQA defines cumulative impacts as " two or more individual effects, which, when considered together, are considerable, or which can compound or increase other environmental impacts." Section 15130 of the CEQA Guidelines requires that an EIR evaluate potential environmental impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively significant. These impacts can result from the proposed project alone, or together with other projects. The CEQA Guidelines state: " The cumulative impact from several projects is the change in the environment which results from the incremental impact of the project when added to other closely related past, present, and reasonably foreseeable probable future projects." Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively significant projects taking place over a period of time. 14 EXHIBIT A
282
The proposed projects' cumulative impacts were considered in conjunction with other proposed and approved projects in the Livermore area. Based on the analyses in the Draft EIR, the proposed project will not result in cumulatively significant impacts, with implementation of identified mitigation measures, in the following areas: air quality /greenhouse gas emissions; biological resources; geology, soils, and seismicity; hazards and hazardous materials; hydrology and water quality; noise; and utility systems.
G. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
When making findings, the lead agency must adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the mitigation measures it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The City hereby adopts the Mitigation Monitoring and Report program for the Project included as Exhibit A to these findings. The mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR to reduce significant impacts and adopted and incorporated in to the Project will be monitored pursuant to this monitoring program.
H. ALTERNATIVES
The Final EIR includes two alternatives to the original proposal: Alternative A: No Project, No Development Alternative; and Alternative B: Reduced Density, Current General Plan Allowance Alternative. Alternative A assumes no development of the site.
Alternative B assumes development of the site consistent with the current General Plan designation of Urban Low Density ( UL -1) at 1 - 1. 5 dwelling units per acre. After considering public comments on the Draft EIR and the statements given by neighboring homeowners at a number of Planning Commission and City Council meetings, the applicant has chosen to proceed with developing the site generally consistent with the Alternative B.
Project Objectives. The objectives for the proposed project include:
1. Complete implementation of current Planned Development zoning designation that reflects the Project site' s inclusion in the Planned Unit Development Permit PUD 115 -A) for the Maralisa development, which indicated development with a maximum of 76 single - family homes.
2. Contribute to housing availability to accommodate Livermore' s growing population and to help satisfy Livermore' s share of regional housing needs.
3. Provide housing near Livermore and Tri- Valley employment centers within the existing City Boundary and North Livermore Urban Growth Boundary.
4. Provide a high - quality residential neighborhood that is compatible and integrated with existing nearby residential, park, school and open space uses.
5. Provide adequate access to the site for safety purposes while minimizing environmental impacts and satisfying natural resource and flood control regulatory agencies.
6. Provide buffers as a separation and natural transition from adjacent open space and habitat to urban development.
7. Conserve the two prominent knolls as visual resources for the community.
8. Retain public access to trails around the knolls as a public amenity for hiking and vista views.
Alternatives. The following alternatives to the proposed project are considered in the EIR:
15 EXHIBIT A
283
Alternative A: No Project, No Development Alternative. Alternative A is a " no project" alternative. It assumes the proposed Project is not approved and the site would remain in an undeveloped state, with no development of roadways or residences.
Alternative B: Reduced Density, Current General Plan Allowance Alternative.
Alternative B assumes the Project site is developed consistent with the current " UL -1" Urban Low Residential 1 - 1. 5 dwelling units per acres) General Plan designation. Given this current General Plan designation, the Project site could be developed with another residential project, which could result in the same or greater impacts than the proposed project. Specifically, this alternative assumes 44 residential units would be constructed on the 31. 7 -acre site ( at approximately 1. 5 units per acre). This is 58% of the units proposed under the Project. A residential development at these lower densities would likely be comprised of larger lots covering a similar area as under the Project.
Conclusion on Alternatives
No significant and unavoidable impacts were identified under the proposed Project. All Project impacts are either less than significant or can be reduced to those levels through implementation of the mitigation contained in this Draft EIR. Because of the low impact of the proposed Project, differences between it and the Alternatives are marginal and limited to reductions in already less than significant impacts.
The Draft EIR identifies the No Project, No Development Alternative as the environmentally superior alternative since it proposes no changes to the site. However, this alternative would not advance any project objectives, including the contribution of homes to accommodate Livermore' s growing population and regional housing needs, and to provide housing near Tri- Valley employment centers within the existing City Boundary and North Livermore Urban Growth Boundary.
The CEQA Guidelines also require that "if the environmentally superior alternative is the no project' alternative, the EIR shall also identify an environmentally superior alternative among the other alternatives" ( CEQA Guidelines Section 15126. 6( e)( 2)). In general, the environmentally superior alternative minimizes adverse impacts to the environment, while still achieving the basic project objectives.
The Reduced Density, Current General Plan Density Alternative is the next most environmentally superior alternative with the lower density contributing to reduced impacts related to both the construction period and operational period. Alternative B would result in marginal reductions in already less than significant impacts, requiring mostly the same mitigation. The Reduced Density, Current General Plan Allowance Alternative meets all of the Project Objectives.
In light of the foregoing discussion, the City Council sees no reason to turn down the project as proposed, as it is consistent with the General Plan and consistent with stated project objectives. The No Project Alternative does not meet the objectives of proposed project.
I. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
As set forth above, there are no significant adverse environmental impacts which are identified in the Final EIR. Therefore, a statement of overriding considerations is not required for approval of the proposed project.

J. RECIRCULATION NOT REQUIRED
No new or substantial changes to the EIR were proposed as a result of the public comment process. The Re- Issued Final EIR responds to comments and makes only minor technical changes, clarifications or additions to the EIR. The minor changes, clarifications, and additions to the EIR do not identify any new significant impacts or substantial increase in the severity of any environmental impacts. Therefore, recirculation of the EIR is not required.
K. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Various documents and other materials constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council base their findings and decisions contained herein.
Documents related to this Project are located in the Livermore Community Development Department, Planning Division, 1052 South Livermore Avenue, Livermore, CA.
L. SUMMARY
1. Based on the foregoing Findings and the information contained in the record, the City has made one or more other following findings with respect to each of the significant effects of the Project:
a. Changes or alternations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. b. Those changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and have been, or can and should be, adopted by that agency.
C. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, economic or other considerations made infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the Final EIR.
2. Based on the foregoing Findings and the information contained in the record, it is determined that all significant effects on the environmental due to the approval of the proposed project have been eliminated or substantially lessened. 17 EXHIBIT A

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA A RESOLUTION APPROVING VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 8094 SUBDIVISION 13- 001) AND SITE PLAN DESIGN REVIEW (SPDR) 13-005, AUTHORIZING THE ALLOCATION OF 44 HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
UNITS FOR THE PROJECT, AND AUTHORIZING THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE
SIX DUET UNITS AS PROPOSED AND TO MAKE A CASH PAYMENT EQUIVALENT TO 3. 15 AFFORDABLE UNITS TO SATISFY THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
OBLIGATION
Garaventa Hills)
At a public hearing on December 4, 2018, the Planning Commission considered an application by Lafferty Communities for the development of 44 residential units on a vacant approximately 32- acre parcel ( the " project").
On September 14, 2015, the City Council denied approval of a prior version of the project, determining that it could not make the findings necessary to support the project. In Resolution No. 2015- 127, the City Council stated it could not make the following findings: ( 1) that the project was consistent with the General Plan because the proposed project was not subordinate to the existing landforms and due to the extensive amount of proposed grading for the Project; and ( 2) that the project site was suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access.
The City Council encouraged the applicant to revise the project to make it both physically and aesthetically more subordinate to the natural landforms/ knolls and reduce overall grading, while providing a secondary emergency vehicle and pedestrian access. To do so, the City Council suggested several project modifications in Resolution No. 2015- 127 including: ( 1) reducing the number of units; ( 2) reducing the size of the units; ( 3) reducing the height of the units; ( 4) narrowing street widths; ( 5) reducing wall heights; and/ or ( 6) providing high quality visual simulations/ videos that accurately represent the project in context with the natural environment and neighborhood.
The proposed project specifically addresses each of the six items the City Council outlined in Resolution No. 2015- 127. The proposed project ( 1) reduced the number of units from 47 to 44 ( including six affordable duet units) and overall structures from 47 to 41; ( 2) reduced the size of the units from 2, 530 - 3, 530 ft2 to 2, 390 - 3, 150 ft2; ( 3) lowered building pad elevations and altered roof forms to reduce unit heights; ( 4) narrowed street widths by making the project road private instead of public; ( 5) lowered retaining wall heights by reducing grading; and ( 6) the applicant provided new or revised visual simulations, in a format that mimics human sight, showing the project in context from several vantage points. In addition, the proposed project provides an emergency vehicle access ( EVA), pedestrian, and bicycle bridge from Hawk Street.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed project, and determined that 1 RESOLUTION NO. 2019- 051
EXHIBIT B
299
the project is consistent with the Livermore General Plan and related policies.
After the public hearing, the Planning Commission, by its Resolution No. 44- 18, approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8094 ( SUB 13- 001) and Site Plan Design Review 13- 005 ( SPDR13-005), subject to the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The City Council held a public hearing on April 22, 2019, and considered the recommendations of the Planning Commission, along with pertinent drawings, documents, and testimony. The City Council incorporates herein by reference, the information comprising its and the Planning Commission' s record, and adopts the same in support of its findings and decisions concerning this project, as outlined below.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.10
DATE: November 28, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Spence, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing acceptance for permanent maintenance, release of security bonds and execution of a Notice of Completion for the WRP Occupied Building Repairs, Phase 1, Project 2015-19, located at the Water Reclamation Plant.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the acceptance for permanent maintenance and release of the security bonds for the WRP Occupied Building Repairs, Phase 1, Project 2015-19, located at the Water Reclamation Plant, and authorize the City Manager to sign the Notice of Completion.
SUMMARY
On October 12, 2020, the City Council awarded the contract for construction of the WRP Occupied Building Repairs, Phase 1, Project 2015-19, to S&H Construction, Inc. This project modified a building at the Water Reclamation Plant. The contract is now substantially complete and can be accepted for permanent maintenance. The process to release the contractor's bonds can begin.
DISCUSSION
The WRP Occupied Building Repairs, Phase 1, Project No. 2015-19, involved converting the old Reverse Osmosis building into offices at the Water Reclamation Plant. The main project components included:
removing existing process treatment equipment, piping, and appurtenances infilling concrete process piping trenches
replacing windows, doors, and storefront assemblies
framing and finishing new interior office spaces and installing cabinetry and flooring installing new mechanical systems, including HVAC and plumbing for new bathrooms installing new electrical and low voltage systems to support lighting, outlets, data/communication, and security
modifying the existing fire sprinkler system
302
replacing the boiler system at the Laboratory building and updating the EMS system at the RO, laboratory, and water buildings
commissioning all building systems.
The project was completed in accordance with the contract documents in a manner acceptable to the City Engineer. At time of award, the contractor provided a faithful performance bond guaranteeing completion of the project, and that bond must now be released. Six months after the date of the resolution accepting the project, the labor and materials bond guaranteeing the improvements should be reduced to an amount equal to any claims filed and of which notice has been given. The balance of the bond will be released upon the settlement of all claims and obligations for which the security was given.
There are no known claims at this time. The security for the guarantee and warranty of work shall remain in effect for one year from the date of the resolution.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The original construction contract amount was $2,168,000 plus a 10 percent contingency. The final project amount was $2,238,890, which is 3.3 percent above the original contract based on final bid item quantities and 5 change orders. The total value of change orders was $70,890, which consisted primarily of unforeseen conditions and equipment mounting requirements. The final bid quantities were equal to anticipated amounts.
Staff estimates that ongoing operation and maintenance costs for these improvements will be $30,000 per year and ongoing replacement costs will average $30,000 per year. Wastewater customer user fees will cover these additional ongoing costs.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.12
DATE: November 28, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Testa, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Resolution accepting protest and reducing the weed abatement assessment for the annual fire hazard abatement program for parcel number 099-080200100, located at 3615 Concannon Boulevard, Livermore, California 94550.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution granting the protest against the weed abatement assessment for parcel number 099-080200100, located at 3615 Concannon Boulevard, Livermore, California 94550; and reducing assessment to $1,800, which has been paid.
SUMMARY
On October 10, 2022, the City Council conducted a public hearing to consider confirming the 2022 weed abatement assessments. At that hearing, the City Council accepted the protest for parcel number 099- 080200100, 3615 Concannon Boulevard, Livermore, California 94550, provided the property owner paid the reduced amount of $1,800 to the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department forthwith. That reduced payment has been received, so staff now requests the City Council adopt a resolution confirming the acceptance of the protest and the reduction of the assessment.
DISCUSSION
On March 14, 2022, the City Council passed and adopted Resolution No. 2022-026 declaring that there exist conditions of growing weeds, accumulated refuse, rubbish, or dirt on private property streets, parkways and/or sidewalks adjacent to each parcel of real property described in the resolution, are public nuisances and should be abated.
On April 25, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-065 which ordered the abatement public nuisances on the properties described in the resolution and declared that the abatement costs (including administrative costs incurred by the City) are the responsibility of the property owner.
On October 10, 2022, the City Council held a public hearing to consider protests and confirm assessments for costs to abate the public nuisances. At that meeting, Makarand Shinde identified 312
himself as the property owner for the delinquent parcel number 099-080200100, 3615 Concannon Boulevard, Livermore, California 94550 (“Protested Property”). Mr. Shinde protested the assessment, arguing that he acquired the property after the nuisance abatement commenced but the noticing was sent to the prior owner. Mr. Shinde asserted that he just recently learned of the assessment and had taken steps to abate a portion of the nuisance on his own accord but acknowledged he did not complete all the work on the Protested Property.
The City Council expressed sympathy for Mr. Shinde and reduced the assessment for the Protested Property from $5,292 to $1,800, provided Mr. Shinde paid that amount to the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department forthwith. The City Council also directed Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department staff to review its noticing for public nuisance abatements to ensure in addition to sending notices to the property owner of record consistent with the applicable statutes, that the notices also be addressed to “or current owner.”
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Total cost of weed abatement work for the Protested Property was $5,292 which included administrative costs incurred by the City based on Resolution No. 2022-065.
The City Council’s acceptance of the protest reduced the assessment from $5,292 to $1,800.

A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROTEST AND REDUCING
ASSESSMENT FOR APN 099-080200100 – 3615 CONCANNON BOULEVARD –
FIRE HAZARD ABATEMENT
Pursuant to Government Code sections 39560, et seq., the City of Livermore completed proper notice, hearings, and all required proceedings as described in Resolution Nos. 2022-026 and 2022-065 to abate fire hazards.
On March 14, 2022, the City Council passed and adopted Resolution No. 2022-026 declaring that there exist conditions of growing weeds, accumulated refuse, rubbish, or dirt on private property streets, parkways and/or sidewalks adjacent to each parcel of real property described in the resolution, are public nuisances and should be abated.
On April 25, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-065 which ordered the abatement public nuisances on the properties described in the resolution and declared that the abatement costs (including administrative costs incurred by the City) are the responsibility of the property owner.
On October 10, 2022, the City Council held a public hearing to consider protests and confirm assessments for costs to abate the public nuisances. At that meeting, Makarand Shinde identified himself as the property owner for the delinquent parcel number 099- 080200100, 3615 Concannon Boulevard, Livermore, California 94550 (“Protested Property”). Mr. Shinde protested the assessment for the Protested Property, arguing that he acquired it after the nuisance abatement commenced but the noticing was sent to the prior owner. Mr. Shinde asserted that he just recently learned of the assessment and had taken steps to abate a portion of the nuisance on his own accord but acknowledged he did not complete all the work on the Protested Property.
The City Council expressed sympathy for Mr. Shinde and reduced the assessment for the Protested Property from $5,292 to $1,800, provided Mr. Shinde paid that amount to the Livermore Fire Department forthwith. The City Council also directed LivermorePleasanton Fire Department staff to review its noticing for public nuisance abatements to ensure in addition to sending notices to the property owner of record consistent with the applicable statutes, that the notices also be addressed to “or current owner.” The City Council then adopted resolution no. 2022-168 to levy the public nuisance assessments, but excluded the Protested Property, pending the payment for the Protested Property.
The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department received the payment from Mr. Shinde.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that on October 10, 2022, it accepted the protest for the assessment for the Protested Property, and reduced the assessment from $5,292.00 to $1,800, provided the payment is made forthwith.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.13
DATE: November 28, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Spence, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution establishing the annual Affordable For-Sale Prices, Rental Rates, and Maximum Income Limits for affordable housing units subject to the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution:
1. Establishing new maximum income limits for extremely low-, very low-, low-, median- and moderate-income households which shall apply to the City’s first-time homebuyer and affordable rental programs effective upon adoption by City Council; and,
2. Establishing maximum for-sale housing prices for the Affordable Homeownership Program which will be effective for homes sold through the program beginning January 1, 2023, and establishing updated annual rent limits for City-restricted affordable units effective immediately upon adoption by City Council.
SUMMARY
The City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance states that the City Council shall annually adopt maximum income limits for use in determining eligibility in the City’s affordable housing programs. These limits are based on data published annually by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Updated income limits are used to compute adjustments to the City’s Affordable Homeownership Program Sales Prices and City-restricted unit rents. Staff recommends the City Council adopt the proposed updated income limits for the City’s affordable housing programs and adopt updated Affordable Homeownership Program Sales Prices and Rent limits.
DISCUSSION
Each year, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (State HCD) provides a schedule of income limits based on data published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that is used to determine eligibility for most State and Federal housing programs.
The City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance references the State HCD’s numbers as the basis for qualifying participant eligibility and calculating sales prices and rent limits for extremely low-, very low-, low-, 316
median-, and moderate-income households applying to the City’s Affordable Homeownership and Rental Programs (Inclusionary Housing), and the Density Bonus Program. Adoption of State HCD’s limits ensures consistent requirements across all the City’s programs and with the requirements of other public lenders. State HCD establishes their income limits based on median income data calculated and provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), adjusted by household size.
In 2022, the HUD Area Median Income (AMI) for a four-person household in Alameda County is $142,800; this is approximately a 13% increase over the previous year. Maximum income categories are defined by HUD as percentages of median income as follows: “extremely low-income” households are defined as those with incomes up to 30% of the AMI; “very low-income” households are defined as those with incomes up to 50% of the AMI; “low-income” households are defined as those with incomes up to 80% of the AMI; “median-income” households defined as those with incomes up to 100% of the AMI; and “moderate-income households” are defined as those with incomes up to 120% of the AMI. It’s important to note that the calculation of maximum income as a percentage of the median is not exact, and HUD adjusts each income category by high-cost factors and family size. In addition, the State has adopted a “hold-harmless” policy which prevents income levels in any category from decreasing from the prior year, should HUD’s formula result in in a decrease. This is done to ensure that an unexpected drop in rental income does not jeopardize the financial feasibility of an affordable rental unit.
The City’s Affordable For-Sale housing prices are calculated based on a commonly adopted standard, shared by many other jurisdictions and State housing agencies that a household can afford no more than 30 percent of its gross income for housing costs. For homeownership, this includes mortgage principal and interest payments, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and homeowner’s association fees.
Incomes generally increased across all categories except for low-income, however, the sharp increase in interest rates offset those increases and has resulted in a significant decrease in the purchase prices that low- and moderate-income households can afford. The average interest rate for CalHFA’s first-time homebuyer mortgage loan products have increased over 2.5%, thereby reducing the amount of monthly principal payments affordable for low- and moderate-income homebuyers. The resulting affordable sales prices reflect between a five and 22 percent reduction over current prices. If approved, the new sales prices will be used for homes sold during the 2023 Affordable Homeownership Program year.
The City’s Affordable Rental Rates are also based on an affordability standard that tenants pay no more than 30 percent of their household income for rent and utilities. Developers with affordability restrictions are instructed to deduct tenant utility allowances as appropriate based on project amenities and unit size.
A schedule of these allowances is adopted by the Livermore Housing Authority for its HUD-funded programs. Utility allowances are not included in the maximum rents. The affordable rents would go into effect upon approval by City Council.
