CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.4
DATE:
February 26, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing execution of an agreement with RRM Design Group, in an amount not-to-exceed $535,110 with a term ending December 31, 2026, to provide design and construction support services for
Springtown Open Space Phase 1 Improvements
Project 2023-19.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with
RRM Design Group
, in an amount not-to-exceed $535,110 with a term ending December 31, 2026, to provide
design and construction support services for
Springtown Open Space Phase 1
Improvements Project 2023-19.
SUMMARY
The Springtown Open Space Phase 1 Improvements Project 2023-19 involves constructing a park at the southern end of the Springtown Open Space between the Springtown Library and Springtown Homeowner Associations facilities. Project improvements also include a disc golf course and shaded benches through the entire open space and tennis/pickle ball courts at neighboring Marlin Pound Park.
Attachment 1 shows the location of these improvements. This agreement with RRM Design Group, in an amount not-to-exceed
$535,110,
provides for landscape architecture
and engineering services to
implement the proposed site improvements. Design scope includes field investigation, site survey, geotechnical engineering investigation, cost evaluation, community outreach, entitlement support, final design, bid and construction support.
DISCUSSION
Since the Springtown Golf Course closed, the former golf course has provided predominantly unimproved public open space. This project involves the first phase of improvements to this open space area. Phase 1 improvements include a park near the Springtown Library, pickle ball/tennis courts in neighboring Marlin Pound Park, a disc golf course, and shaded benches through the entire open space.
The park will be located at the southern end of the Springtown Open Space near Bluebell Drive between 216
the Springtown Library and Homeowners Association facilities. Around 3 to 4 acres in size, the park will include an active play zone, a large shade structure, smaller shade structures, picnic benches, a multipurpose field, and a community garden.
The project also includes constructing pickle ball courts. LARPD recommends constructing the pickle ball courts in neighboring Marlin Pound Park to be further away from nearby residents, reducing the risk of noise complaints. LARPD also recommends placing four pickle ball courts inside two tennis courts so that they can be used for either sport.
Phase 1 improvements will include an 18-hole disc golf course and shaded benches across the entire open space. Disc golf is one of the fastest growing outdoor sports and was identified as a desired amenity during the community outreach. Courses are relatively inexpensive to construct and disc golf holes can easily be modified or relocated if needed in the future.
An environmental document is currently being prepared to identify and mitigate any impacts associated with the project. The current schedule is to circulate the environmental document for public review by this summer. The environmental document and project entitlement will then come to Planning Commission and City Council for approval.
In April 2023, City staff held a public meeting and received input regarding the plans to move forward with Phase 1 improvements. Staff plans to have another community meeting to discuss the preliminary design prior to the environmental document being circulated for review.
RRM Design Group (RRM) has worked with the City on the Springtown Open Space Plan since 2017, when preliminary design concepts were first developed for the area. Last year they started working on some potential layouts for Phase 1 improvements. RRM has provided similar design and construction services for the City on other projects such as Stockmen's Park. They have proven to be reasonably priced, knowledgeable, creative, and responsive. The total fee of $535,110 for design and construction
services is approximately 10% of the total target construction cost of $5.5M, which is consistent and typical for a project of this scale.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The budget for the
Springtown Open Space Phase 1 Improvements Project 2023-19 is in the FY 2023-
2028 Capital Improvement Plan, which covers the cost of this agreement. No additional appropriations are needed. As shown in the table below, the project is currently funded with Park Fees.

Staff will come back to Council and request additional funding once the preliminary plans are developed, and cost estimates are prepared. The target construction bid is around $5.5 Million. The total project cost for design, construction, construction change orders, project management, construction inspection, materials testing, and permit fees will be around $7 Million.
Operation, maintenance, and replacement cost estimates will be developed once plans are further 217
refined. City staff is discussing maintenance activities, maintenance funding, and park programming activities with LARPD. This information will be presented to City Council when additional construction funding appropriations are requested.

Springtown Phase 1 Implementation
Proposed Scope of Services
January 4, 2024
Subtask I.B: Field Investigation
RRM will conduct a site reconnaissance to investigate existing conditions, including above- ground features, evident utilities, vegetation, and surrounding conditions. RRM will utilize applicable City-provided information and utility purveyor-provided maps to identify any XQGHUJURXQGXWLOLW\FRQÁLFWVZLWKLQWKHSURMHFWDUHD7KH&LW\ZLOOJUDQW550ZULWWHQ authorization to coordinate directly with and request utility data from utility purveyors (e.g., PG&E, AT&T, Zone 7 Water Agency, etc.). These known existing utilities will be identified and referenced on their base maps. RRM assumes that proposed improvements will be designed to avoid any utility relocations, and any utility boxes or covers will be adjusted to finish grade.
The coordination scope of this task assumes an initial inquiry email for existing utility information and a follow-up email after 90% design to provide a project status update. This task does not guarantee a response from utility purveyors and does not guarantee knowledge of every utility in the project area. This task includes the review of a title report that the City will obtain and the review of all exceptions to confirm there will be no conflicts with the park improvements.
Deliverables:
x Site visit(s) for field investigation
x Record utility maps received from utility purveyors
Subtask I.C: Site Survey
This will include all fieldwork necessary to generate one-foot contours for the project area.
Planimetric features will include detail on tree canopies and half-widths of adjacent streets.
Street rights-of-way and easement information will be placed in the base map if retraceable from record documents. Boundary monumentation will be collected if it is available, and a boundary compiled from record documents will be placed on the base map. This proposal does not include a full measured boundary survey of the project site. The horizontal and vertical datum will be based on the CCS83 (2011) State Plane Coordinates and NAVD 88 when suitable local agency datums are unavailable. The extent of the survey areas is shown in Exhibit B-1.
Survey to include:

Proposed Scope of Services
January 4, 2024
Subtask I.D: Geotechnical Engineering Investigation and Report RRM subconsultant, BSK Associates (BSK), will perform a geotechnical evaluation to assess the subsurface conditions at the proposed park location. This task will include project setup, permitting, field coordination, and administration of BSK’s services. They will visit the site and mark exploratory locations with white paint and/or stake and file for a Zone 7 Water Agency Permit prior to drilling. BSK will call Underground Service Alert (USA North 811) a minimum of 72 hours prior to the field exploration and submit USA ticket(s) for utility clearance. During the site visit to mark proposed exploration locations, they recommend that a City representative familiar with the site’s underground utilities meet with them in the field to assist with identifying underground utilities that could be in conflict with their proposed exploration points. It should be noted that USA will only check for utilities on the public right-of-way and does not include private property. Therefore, they have included the services of a private utility locator who will clear the exploration locations for detectable underground utilities prior to the start of their subsurface investigation.
As required by local ordinance, a drilling permit will be obtained from the Zone 7 Water Agency (County) prior to drilling. BSK assumes the site is under the jurisdiction of the City of Livermore (City) and that the City will not require BSK to file an encroachment permit with the City. They have assumed that no drilling on City streets would be required.
BSK proposes to explore the subsurface conditions at the site by drilling four hollow-stem auger borings to depths of approximately 15 to 20 feet BGS, each at approximate locations. A professional from BSK will maintain a log of the soils encountered, record the blow counts obtained at each sampling interval, and obtain samples for visual examination, classification, and laboratory testing. The soil sampling will be performed using SPT and 2.5-inch ID-lined split spoon samplers. The strength characteristics of the cohesive soil samples recovered will be evaluated in the field using a hand-held pocket penetrometer. During their investigation, they will also measure the approximate depth to free groundwater if it is observed in their hollow- stem auger borings. Upon completion, the borings will be backfilled with cement grout per County requirements. Waste soils will be handled per current disposal regulations, but will likely be spread onsite to blend with the surrounding soil. Although this is rare, in the event that hazardous materials are encountered as indicated visually or by odor in the soil borings during their subsurface investigation, such borings will be immediately terminated, and arrangements will be made to backfill such borings with cement grout. BSK will notify the Client as soon as possible of such an occurrence, and both parties will mutually decide whether to continue, modify, or cease the remainder of the investigation program.
Laboratory tests will be performed on selected soil samples to evaluate pertinent engineering properties for the design of the project. Laboratory tests that they anticipate performing may include measurement of in-situ moisture content and dry density, Atterberg limits, sieve analysis, and shear strength testing. One corrosion screening test will also be performed. They will also perform a Resistance (R)-Value test at the location of the potential parking lot expansion. After the subsurface investigation is completed, if they find it necessary to perform additional tests, BSK will contact the Client for prior approval.

BSK will evaluate their findings and perform geotechnical engineering analysis to develop conclusions and recommendations for the anticipated improvements. Their findings and recommendations will be summarized in a report prepared under the supervision of a California-registered Geotechnical Engineer. They will only provide a digital copy of the report in PDF format. At this time, they anticipate that the report will include the following items:
x A description of the project, including a vicinity map and site plan showing the approximate locations of their borings
x A description of the subsurface investigation, logs of borings, and results of laboratory tests
x A description of the surface and subsurface site conditions encountered during their subsurface investigation, including depth of free groundwater if observed in their shallower hollow stem auger borings
x A description of the site geologic setting and associated geology-related hazards, including faulting, liquefaction (within the depth of their borings) x Conclusions and recommendations related to the geotechnical aspects of:
o Shallow spread footings and mat foundations, including allowable soil bearing pressure, minimum embedment depth, resistance to lateral loads, friction coefficient, and modulus of subgrade reaction
o Recommendations for drilled piers for support of light poles and/or shade structures, including allowable skin friction, minimum diameter and embedment depth, and resistance to lateral loads
o Equivalent fluid pressure for active, at-rest, and passive pressures, as well as seismic increment values for below-grade walls
o Recommendations for resisting potential buoyancy forces, such as the use of a pressure relieve value or measures to resist uplift pressures o Anticipated total and differential settlements and discussion of liquefaction potential (if applicable, within the depth of their borings) o Provision of state-mapped 2022 CBC seismic design parameters (no site-specific ground motion analysis is included)
o Slab-on-grade and exterior flatwork recommendations
o Recommendations for site preparation, earthwork, and fill compaction specifications
o Construction considerations and limitations; and a brief discussion of the corrosion potential of near-surface soils encountered during the subsurface investigation based on the laboratory corrosion screening test performed
BSK will convert the upper five feet BGS of two of their proposed borings into percolation test holes. They will install two-inch perforated pipes and fill the annular space between the pipes and the borehole sidewalls with ¾-inch drain rock. Prior to initiating the percolation testing, they will first pre-soak the percolation holes overnight. The following day, they will fill the percolation holes with water to within six to 24 inches above the bottom of the holes. They will then measure the time for the water to recede by approximately one inch or measure the drop in water level after approximately 60 minutes, whichever takes less time. They will continue filling the percolation holes and measuring the water level drop until the drop rate between consecutive readings stabilizes. They will then reduce the data collected and use the Porchet Exhibit A

inverse borehole method to convert the percolation rates into infiltration rates for each hole.
The test results would be presented in their geotechnical report. Upon completion of the percolation testing, the test holes will be backfilled with sand, and the upper approximately six inches will be patched with topsoil.
BSK will review the geotechnical aspects of the 90% complete project plans to be prepared by RRM prior to the issuance of these documents for construction bidding purposes. They will then issue a letter presenting their review comments, if any. Once their review comments have been addressed if desired, they will issue a final review letter indicating their review comments have been addressed. If additional review iterations and letters are required, they may need to request that the budget for this task be revised accordingly.
If necessary, after issuance of their geotechnical investigation report, they will provide up to eight hours of consultation regarding foundation design and other aspects of the project on an as-needed basis, such as attendance of conference calls and meetings and bid support.
Deliverables:
x One (1) geotechnical evaluation including four (4) borings up to 15-20 feet in depth and report of findings in PDF format
x Two (2) percolation tests
x Review of the geotechnical aspects of the 90% plans

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.5
DATE:
February 26, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing execution of agreements with Interwest Consulting Group Inc. and CSG Consultants, Inc. to provide on-call plan check and development review services, each with not-to-exceed amounts of $400,000 and approximately four-year terms.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements with Interwest Consulting Group Inc. and CSG Consultants, Inc. to provide on-call plan
check and development review services, each with not-to-exceed amounts of $400,000 and approximately four-year terms.
SUMMARY
The proposed agreements with Interwest Consulting Group Inc. and CSG Consultants, Inc. will provide on-call engineering plan review services, technical assistance, and coordination assistance with developers and agencies for development projects. Professional services, under this agreement, include review of development plan and map submittals, subdivision map review, legal description review, and assorted general engineering review services. Each contract has a not-to-exceed amount of $400,000 over an approximately four-year term.
DISCUSSION
The Engineering Division requires multiple engineering consultants to provide plan checking, review of development projects, final map review, legal description review, and assorted general engineering plan review services in connection with a variety of development projects. The workload related to development review fluctuates and the support of consultants allows the Engineering Division to provide quality reviews and timely customer service for the public, developers, and City staff.
Staff sent out a Request for Qualifications/Proposals and received Statements of Qualifications from 11 firms. The Statements of Qualifications were reviewed by a three-person selection committee and the top five firms were selected for interviews. The consultants were rated individually by each committee member based on overall experience, local experience, quality of personnel, ability to respond to the 250
City's needs on a timely basis, and responses to technical questions provided during the interviews.
Based on evaluation of the written proposals and interview results, Daniel B. Valiao, East Bay Municipal Consulting,
Interwest Consulting Group Inc., and CSG Consultants, Inc. were selected to move forward.
Bellecci and Associates was not selected at this time; however, they have been shortlisted and can be offered an agreement in the future should the additional need arise.
This past fiscal year, with COVID restrictions being lifted, development activity has increased as economic activity in the region grows.
Daniel B. Valiao, East Bay Municipal Consulting,
and Interwest
Consulting Group
have worked satisfactorily with staff to process development projects in the past and have provided much needed assistance on development projects, capital improvement projects, and additional work related to the COVID pandemic. CSG Consultants, Inc. provides similar services for other cities.
Daniel B Valiao and East Bay Municipal Consulting currently have active agreements to perform this work through June 30, 2025. These agreements can be renewed at a later date as needed.
New agreements are proposed for Interwest Consulting Group Inc. and CSG Consultants, Inc. Each new agreement allows for on-call plan check and development engineering review services for an approximate four-year term with a maximum expenditure allowance of $400,000 per agreement. These agreements authorize the City Engineer to approve work tasks related to the contract within the overall budget amount.
Staff recommends entering into professional service agreements with Interwest Consulting Group Inc. and CSG Consultants, Inc.
to provide on-call plan check and development engineering review services .
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT
The estimated total amount of work among the two consulting firms is expected to be approximately $200,000 per year for each of the next four years. Funding for services rendered under these agreements is included in the Engineering operating budget for consultant services. Plan check fees received from developers cover the operating budget costs.

Consultant agrees that all aspects of the Services and items created thereby will be original works of creation and will not use, in whole or in part, any work created by any other party, except when expressly disc losed by Consultant to City and Consultant obtains a license to such items for the benefit of City.

Consultant shall not offer, encourage, or accept any financial interest in any part of Consultant's business by or from a City employee or official during the term of this Agreement or as a result of being awarded this Agreement.

18. No Assignment. Consultant shall not assign or subcontract any of the Services without City’s prior written consent. For the purposes of this section, a change of fifty - percent or more in the ownership or control of Consultant constitutes an assignment.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.6
DATE:
February 26, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Judy Erlandson, Acting Public Works Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing the Altamont Settlement Agreement Education Advisory Board's $631,220 Expenditure Plan for FY 2024-25.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Altamont Settlement Agreement Education Advisory Board's $631,220 Expenditure Plan for FY 2024-25.
SUMMARY
In 1999, the Settlement Agreement between and among the County of Alameda, the City of Livermore, the City of Pleasanton, Sierra Club, Northern California Recycling Association, Altamont Landowners Against Rural Mismanagement and Waste Management of Alameda County, Inc. (Altamont Settlement Agreement) was ratified by the named parties.
The Altamont Settlement Agreement stipulates that a per ton solid waste surcharge be collected in order to support recycling education programs and job training in the field of waste prevention and recycling, and to mitigate the impacts of the landfill operations on the affected community. The Altamont Settlement Agreement also created the Altamont Settlement Agreement Education Advisory Board (EAB) to oversee the funds generated by the surcharge. To accomplish this task, the EAB solicits competitive grants from applicants that plan to implement recycling and environmental awareness programs.
The proposed FY 2024-25 Expenditure Plan in Exhibit A to the resolution outlines the EAB’s recommended grant awards and expenditures. City Council approval of the Expenditure Plan totaling $631,220 is required per the terms of the Altamont Settlement Agreement.
DISCUSSION
In 1999 the County of Alameda, the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, the Sierra Club, the Northern California Recycling Association, and Altamont Landowners Against Rural Mismanagement entered into an agreement with Waste Management of Alameda County, Inc. This agreement, known at the Altamont 281
Settlement Agreement, created the Altamont Settlement Agreement Education Advisory Board, or EAB.
The EAB convenes monthly and has five voting members. Two members are appointed by the Northern California Recycling Association, one member is the Environmental Educator appointee of the Alameda County Source Reduction and Recycling Board, and the City Councils of Livermore and Pleasanton each appoint one member. The Livermore City Council appointed Fenna Gatty, a science teacher at Altamont Creek Elementary School, as the Livermore representative on the EAB. The City of Pleasanton position is currently vacant.
The Altamont Settlement Agreement stipulates that a surcharge be collected to create an Education Account to support recycling education programs and job training in the field of waste prevention and recycling and to mitigate the impacts of the landfill operations on the effected community. The $0.45 per ton surcharge on incoming waste at Waste Management’s Altamont Landfill and the $0.42 per ton surcharge on incoming waste at Republic’s Vasco Road landfill generates approximately $465,000 per year and has an account balance of approximately $1 million as of December 31, 2023.
Funds are collected from the landfills by the Alameda County Treasurer. The Alameda County Treasurer then transfers the annual allocation to the City of Livermore. The City of Livermore provides financial management to the EAB and will continue to do so indefinitely. The EAB works with an independent contractor to provide administrative support and process dispersal of funds to grant recipients.
The EAB creates an Annual Report to detail the prior year grant funded programs. It also compiles an annual Expenditure Plan by April 1 each year. Per the terms of the Altamont Settlement Agreement, the Expenditure Plan must be approved by each voting member agency’s governing body. Therefore, the Livermore City Council must approve the Expenditure Plan prior to disbursement of the FY 2024-25 grant funds. Approval will also be sought from the Pleasanton City Council, The Northern California Recycling Association Board of Directors, and the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.
On January 22, 2024, the EAB unanimously approved the proposed FY 2024-25 Expenditure Plan found in Exhibit A. The proposed Expenditure Plan outlines the funding needs and objectives, the EAB initiated projects, and administration costs paid to the City of Livermore. The proposed Expenditure Plan also notes that unexpended funds from previous grant years will be carried over and, if necessary, applied to the FY 2024-25 grant year. The current unexpended funds balance is approximately $25,000.
For FY 2024-25, the EAB is proposing the following schedule for disbursement of funds, totaling $631,220:
• $5,000 for EAB communications and website
• $135,000 in mini grants
• $286,000 in project grants
• $50,000 in EAB Board initiated projects
• $114,000 in multi-year grants
• $30,000 for staff support
• $11,220 for City of Livermore financial management and administrative support
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the $631,220 Expenditure Plan for FY 2024-25, as required per the Altamont Settlement Agreement. The 2023 Annual Report that outlines previous years grant awards can be found in Attachment 1.

Background
In 1999, the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, the Sierra Club and the Northern California Recycling Association (NCRA) entered into a settlement agreement with Alameda County and Altamont Landfill. The Altamont Landfill Settlement Agreement created the Altamont Education Advisory Board to propose allocation of funds in the Education Account for recycling education programs, job training in the field of waste prevention and recycling and mitigating the impacts of the landfill operations in the affected community. Funds generated from the $0.45 and $0.42 per ton surcharge amount to approximately $560,000 annually.
There are five voting members on the Education Advisory Board: one appointed by the Livermore City Council; one appointed by the Pleasanton City Council; two appointed by NCRA; and the Alameda County Recycling Board’s Environmental Educator.
The role of the Education Advisory Board is to annually propose the allocation of funds from the Education Account by submitting an Expenditure Plan by April 1 of each year. Concurrence of Alameda County, the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, and NCRA on the Expenditure Plan is necessary before funds are allocated.
Funds are collected from the Altamont Landfill by the Alameda County Treasurer. The County then remits the annual allocation to the agency administering the funds (07-08 City of Pleasanton, 08-13 and out years, City of Livermore) for disbursal to grant recipients.
2023 Activities
The 2023 Expenditure Plan was approved by each of the parties in the spring of 2023. The Expenditure Plan proposed the following allocations:
Boar
d Communications, website $5,000

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.7
DATE:
February 26, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution amending the City of Livermore Salary Plan adding the classifications titled Supervising Purchasing Specialist and Community Service Specialist II.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution amending the City of Livermore Salary Plan to add the classifications titled Supervising Purchasing Specialist and Community Service Specialist II.
SUMMARY
The Purchasing Section of the Administrative Services Department requires an advanced journey level specialist to interpret City purchasing policy rules and regulations that govern contracting activities for City departments and provide professional procurement consultation, assistance, instruction, and training. Additionally, the Purchasing Section requires expanded supervision and coaching of the assigned staff.
The Supervising Purchasing Specialist classification will replace the current classification entitled Purchasing Specialist and will be assigned the annual salary range of $86,517.46 - $105,162.51.
Adding the Supervising Purchasing Specialist classification will not increase the number of current, Council approved, full-time, authorized positions in the Administrative Services Department.
The Police Department requires a journey level position in the Community Services Specialist series to complete the most advanced, in-person, crime scene processing and related duties. The Community Services Specialist II classification will be reserved for the most experienced Community Services Specialists with advanced certifications and experience and will be assigned the salary range of $73,934.02 - $89,867.26.
Adding the Community Services Specialist II classification will not increase the number of current, Council approved, full-time, authorized positions in the Police Department.
DISCUSSION
293
Historically, the City has had a Purchasing Specialist position dedicated to coordinating the functions of the City's Central Purchasing Section in the Finance Division. Over time, it has also become necessary to have someone focus on providing a higher level of review over contracts submitted by departments.
Higher level review is required to ensure compliance with the City’s Contracts and Purchasing policies and procedures, and to ensure the completeness and accuracy of City contracts. Additionally, it is necessary for someone to assume full supervision over staff assigned, as opposed to just providing lead direction.
The updated classification entitled Supervising Purchasing Specialist will replace the existing classification entitled Purchasing Specialist. Based on the expanded, higher-level duties the classification will be established with the salary range of $86,517.46 - $105,162.51 which is 11.5% above the current classification.
The Police Department has historically had several Community Service Specialists performing non- sworn police related technical and administrative tasks and providing support for the daily operations of the Police Department. The original Community Service Specialist classification encompasses many different areas of responsibility, such as traffic abatement, code enforcement, and basic evidence collection.
The proposed Community Service Specialist II classification is designed to expand on the duties of the Community Service Specialist, addressing a need for journey-level skills specifically in crime-scene processing and training duties. Creating the Community Service Specialist II classification will also assist in attracting well-qualified candidates to work for the City of Livermore, as they can be appropriately compensated for advanced crime scene training and experience.
The new classification will be added to the Community Service Specialist series and will have a salary range of $73,934.02 - $89,867.26 which is 5% above the Community Service Specialist position.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The fiscal year impact to add the classification of Supervising Purchasing Specialist is estimated to be $15,000. The additional cost of this new position will be covered by salary savings in the current Administrative Services Department budget.
The fiscal year impact to add the classification of Community Service Specialist II is estimated to be $6,000. The additional cost of this new position will be covered by salary savings in the current Police Department budget.
COMMUNITY PILLAR
5: A City That works.
GOAL

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.8
DATE:
February 26, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Judy Erlandson, Acting Public Works Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing execution of the first amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health for SB 1383 edible food recovery inspection services.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing execution of the first amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health for SB 1383 edible food recovery inspection services defining which Tier 1 and Tier 2 business will be inspected, specifying the cost of $348 per inspection, and extending the term to March 1, 2026.
SUMMARY
In May of 2022, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to integrate edible food recovery compliance monitoring into the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health's (ACDEH) inspections of regulated Retail Food Facility entities on behalf of Alameda County jurisdictions.
The initial term of the MOU began March 1, 2022, and ends on March 1, 2024. By entering into an MOU with ACDEH, the City of Livermore designated ACDEH to conduct inspections related to edible food recovery requirements on its behalf. Compliance inspections started in 2022 for the estimated 30 Tier 1 edible food generators in the City. Compliance inspections for the estimated 50 Tier 2 generators will begin in 2024.
In 2022, the ACDEH inspected Tier 1 generators at no cost to the City of Livermore. Starting in 2023, the City of Livermore paid ACDEH for the inspection services at a flat rate of $348 per inspection. The amount spent on inspections in calendar year 2023 totaled $3,480. The amendment to the MOU defines which Tier 1 and Tier 2 businesses will be inspected and specifies that the cost per inspection remains at $348 per inspection for calendar year 2024 and part of 2025. It also extends the MOU term to March 1, 2026.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the amendment to the MOU with the ACDEH for SB 1383 edible food recovery inspection services. 317
DISCUSSION
In September 2016, Governor Brown signed into law SB 1383, the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016, which established aggressive targets to achieve a reduction in the statewide disposal of organic waste beginning in 2022. SB 1383 directs CalRecycle to divert 75% of organics from landfill and recover 20% of edible food for human consumption by 2025.
Per SB 1383, jurisdictions must establish an inspection and enforcement program for Tier 1 and Tier 2 commercial edible food generators (e.g., grocery stores, wholesale food distributors, restaurants, and others) and food recovery organizations (e. g., food banks) to ensure that generators are recovering the maximum amount of edible food that would otherwise be disposed, and confirm that generators have agreements in place with food recovery organizations to recover the edible food.
The Alameda County Department of Environmental Health (ACDEH) is the local enforcement agency that oversees retail food programs in Alameda County. As such, ACDEH issues retail food facility permits and inspects commercial edible food generators as part of its regular duties.
In May of 2022, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to integrate edible food recovery compliance monitoring into ACDEH’s inspections of regulated Retail Food Facility entities on behalf of Alameda County jurisdictions. The initial term of the MOU began March 1, 2022, and ends on March 1, 2024. By entering into an MOU with ACDEH, the City of Livermore designated ACDEH to conduct inspections related to edible food recovery requirements on its behalf. Compliance inspections started in 2022 for the estimated 30 Tier 1 edible food generators in the City. Compliance inspections for the estimated 50 Tier 2 generators will begin in 2024.
In 2022, the ACDEH inspected Tier 1 generators at no cost to the City of Livermore. Starting in 2023, the City of Livermore paid ACDEH for the inspection services at a flat rate of $348 per inspection. The amount spent on inspections in calendar year 2023 totaled $3,480. The amendment to the MOU defines which Tier 1 and Tier 2 businesses will be inspected and specifies that the cost per inspection remains at $348 per inspection for calendar year 2024 and part of 2025. It also extends the MOU term to March 1, 2026. ACDEH will conduct follow-ups to ensure compliance and documenting any violations.
Subsequent enforcement actions are the responsibility of the City of Livermore.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the amendment to the MOU with the ACDEH for SB 1383 edible food recovery inspection services.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The financial impact to the City is expected to be less than $5,000. Currently, funding is available in the recycling funds budget to implement and enforce SB 1383 edible food recovery services.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE ALAMEDA COUNTY
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH FOR SB 1383 EDIBLE FOOD RECOVERY INSPECTION SERVICES, SPECIFYING THE COST OF $348 PER INSPECTION, AND EXTENDING THE TERM TO MARCH 1, 2026
The Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016 (“SB 1383”) establishes regulatory requirements for jurisdictions, generators, haulers, solid waste facilities, and other entities to achieve organic waste disposal reduction targets. Pursuant to SB 1383, jurisdictions must establish an inspection and enforcement program for certain commercial edible food generators to ensure those generators are recovering the maximum amount of edible food that would otherwise be disposed in landfills and ensure that those generators have agreements in place with food recovery organizations to recover edible food.
The Alameda County Department of Environmental Health (“ACDEH”) is the local enforcement agency that oversees retail food programs in Alameda County and conducts routine inspections of certain commercial edible food generators. On March 30, 2022, the City of Livermore (“City”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with ACDEH authorizing it to perform certain edible food recovery compliance monitoring on behalf of the City. The MOU terminates on March 1, 2024, unless otherwise extended in writing.
The City desires to enter into a First Amendment to its MOU with ACDEH to: (1) extend the term of the MOU through March 1, 2026; (2) add definitions for Tier One and Tier Two commercial Edible Food Generators; (3) make certain revisions to requirements related to notices of violation and costs for inspections; and (4) confirm that the cost per inspection is currently $348.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that it authorizes the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health, attached hereto as Exhibit A, to: (1) extend the term through March 1, 2026; (2) add definitions for Tier One and Tier Two commercial Edible Food Generators; (3) make certain revisions to requirements related to notices of violation and costs for inspections; and (4) confirm that the cost per inspection is currently $348.
On motion of Council Member ______________________, seconded by Council Member ______________________, the foregoing resolution was passed and adopted on February 26, 2024, by the following vote:

The Inventory is subject to change based on the addition of new facilities, closure of facilities and changed operations of facilities and will be updated in the fourth quarter of 2023 to include Permitted Tier Two Commercial Edible Food Generators in City of Livermore and may request an updated inventory list from time to time and ACDEH shall provide one within thirty (30) days of any written request.
EXHIBIT A
323
b. Flat Rate. City of Livermore shall pay to ACDEH a flat rate of $348.00 for each SB1383 inspection of a Permitted CEFG. The flat rate is based on the ACDEH hourly rate of $174.00, as approved by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, multiplied by two hours, the average time spent in 2022 on each SB1383 CEFG inspection, technical assistance and consultation and the related administrative work such as uploading inspections results and providing report copies to the Member Agency and WMA. The hourly rate may change as approved by the County of Alameda Board of Supervisors at a public meeting. The flat rate may change if the average time spend at each facility increase or decreases. Member Agencies will be notified if the approved hourly rate or flat rate is changed, with Member Agencies having an opportunity to terminate this MOU if they no longer wish for ACDEH to perform the services in the MOU.
c. Invoicing and Payment. ACDEH will invoice each Member Agency for the inspection(s) completed during a specific period. It is anticipated that invoicing will be sent approximately every three months. d. Estimated Annual Costs . Typically, for purposes of efficiency, an SB 1383 inspection is conducted once a year at the time of a Tier One Permitted CEFGs routine food facility inspection, when possible. A Member Agency may estimate annual cost by multiplying the flat rate of $348.00 for each of the facilities identified on the Inventory. This estimate is subject to change based the number of actual inspections, changes to the current flat rate or any increase or decrease in facilities. No later than December 15 each year City of Livermore shall inform ACDEH if it wishes ACDEH to inspect only a subset of the Permitted CEFGs listed in the Inventory in the following calendar year, and if so, the criteria to be used to select facilities for inspection.
e. Enforcement. Enforcement Assistance to Member Agency (see MOU Section E, as revised above) performed by ACDEH is NOT included in the inspection flat rate. Enforcement Assistance, if requested by City of Livermore and agreed to by ACDEH, shall be charged at the ACDEH hourly rate, as identified above.
EXHIBIT A
324
IV. Section I, General, paragraph 1 is amended by extending the end date of the MOU for two years, from March 1, 2024 to March 1, 2026, unless extended in writing or terminated early.
V. Except as expressly modified by this First Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the MOU are and remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this MOU on the dates appearing below their respective signatures.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.9
DATE:
February 26, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing approval of the Governments of Livermore Financing Authority (GOLFA) Termination Agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing the approval of the Governments of Livermore Financing Authority (GOLFA) Termination Agreement.
SUMMARY
In 1989, the City of Livermore (the City) and the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District (LARPD) entered into a Joint Exercise of Authority Agreement (JPA Agreement) that created GOLFA to acquire, construct, and equip property to be used as a maintenance service center by the City and LARPD and improvements to Robertson Park Road. The maintenance service center was financed through lease financing that was accomplished through agreements and leases between the City, LARPD, GOLFA, and other entities. In 2011, the City and LARPD fully met GOLFA’s lease financing repayment obligations. GOLFA has not been used for any other purpose and can be dissolved. The proposed Termination Agreement dissolves GOLFA.
DISCUSSION
In 1989, the City and LARPD created GOLFA through the JPA Agreement (Exhibit A to the Termination Agreement) as a mechanism for financing the improvements to the Livermore Maintenance Service Center and Robertson Park Road. The City and LARPD made payments to GOLFA through a lease between GOLFA and the City and a sublease between the City and LARPD based on a pro rata share of the improvements that, in turn, were used to repay the bonds issued through the lease financing. The City and District own the improvements as tenants in common with the City having 62% interest and LARDP having 38% interest. Exhibit B to the Termination Agreement is the Joint Use Agreement (Joint Use Agreement) for the Livermore Maintenance Service Center that outlines uses and respective responsibilities for the Livermore Maintenance Service Center. The Joint Use Agreement terminates in 2091.
328
In 1997, GOLFA was removed as a party to the lease financing and replaced by the Livermore Capital Projects Financing Authority as part of a bond refinancing that included other City projects. LARPD continued to pay their pro rata share of the debt service for the improvements to the Livermore Maintenance Service Center and Robertson Park Road through a sublease with the City. The bonds were fully repaid in 2011 and a Certificate of Termination of the various leases related to the financing was filed with the Alameda County Recorder’s Office, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit C to the Termination Agreement. The City and LARPD have not used GOLFA since 1997 and do not foresee the need to do so in the future. As such City and LARPD staff propose to terminate GOLFA through the Governments of Livermore Financing Authority Termination Agreement (Exhibit A to the resolution).
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
There are no fiscal implications associated with the recommended action.

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE GOVERNMENTS OF
LIVERMORE FINANCING AUTHORITY TERMINATION AGREEMENT
On January 9, 1989, the City of Livermore (the “City”) and the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District (“LARPD”) executed a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (“JPA Agreement”) to form the Governments of Livermore Financing Authority (“GOLFA”) to acquire, construct, and equip property to be used as a maintenance service center by the City and LARPD and improvements to Robertson Park Road. GOLFA issued lease backed bonds to fund those improvements.
The City and LARPD made payments to GOLFA through a lease between GOLFA and the City and a sublease between the City and LARPD based on a pro rata share of the improvements that, in turn, were used to repay the bonds issued through the lease financing.
The City and District own the improvements as tenants in common with the City having 62% interest and LARPD having 38% interest. The City and LARPD entered into a Joint Use Agreement for the Livermore Maintenance Service Center that outlines uses and respective responsibilities for the Livermore Maintenance Service Center. The Joint Use Agreement terminates in 2091.
In 1997 GOLFA was removed as a party to the lease financing and replaced by the Livermore Capital Projects Financing Authority as part of a bond refinancing that included other City projects. LARPD continued to pay their pro rata share of the debt service for the improvements to the Livermore Maintenance Service Center and Robertson Park Road through a sublease with the City.
The bonds were fully repaid in 2011 and a Certificate of Termination of the various leases related to the financing was filed with the Alameda County Recorder’s Office.
The City and LARPD have not used GOLFA since 1997 and do not foresee the need to do so in the future. As such, City and LARPD are terminating GOLFA through the Governments of Livermore Financing Authority Termination Agreement NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that it hereby determines that there are no surplus monies on hand and no property acquired as a result of the JPA Agreement that needs disposition, division, or distribution, and hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute, on behalf of the City of Livermore, the Termination Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A with LARPD to terminate the JPA Agreement and dissolve the GOLFA.

TERMINATION AGREEMENT
GOVERNMENTS OF LIVERMORE FINANCING AUTHORITY
THIS TERMINATION AGREEMENT (the “Termination Agreement”) executed and entered into as of __________, 2024, is by and between the City of Livermore, a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (the “City”), and the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District, a special district organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (the “District”).
RECITALS
On December 14, 1988, the District adopted Resolution No. 1171 authorizing the execution of a joint powers agreement with the City to form the Governments of Livermore Financing Authority (“Authority”).
On January 9, 1989, the City adopted Resolution No. 14-89 authorizing the execution of a joint powers agreement with the District to form the Authority.
On January 9, 1989, a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (“JPA Agreement”) between the City and the District was executed to form the Authority. A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The Authority was formed for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, and equipping of property to be used for a maintenance service center (“Project”) by the City and District. The Project was then financed and constructed through lease financing.
The lease financing was accomplished through a series of agreements and leases executed by the City, District, Authority, and various other entities. In 1997, the Authority was removed as a party to the lease financing and replaced by the Livermore Capital Projects Financing Authority as part of a bond refinancing that included other City projects. The Project became a City project with a sublease to the District in the same form as the previous sublease agreement between the City and District that required the District to make payments to the City that the City used to pay the debt service on the lease financing.
Section 7.01 of the JPA Agreement states that it shall remain in full force and effect so long as the bonds of the Authority are outstanding or any lease agreements are outstanding between Authority members.
On June 29, 2011, the obligations of the lease financing having been discharged in full, a Certificate of Termination of the various leases for the Project’s lease financing was filed with the Alameda County Recorder’s Office, Recording No. 2011183959. A copy of the Certificate of Termination is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Section 7.02 of the JPA Agreement states that upon termination, all property of the authority, both real and personal, shall be divided among the Authority members.
EXHIBIT A
332
The Project is currently located and in operation at 3500 Robertson Park Road, Livermore, California 94550 (the Property) that is owned by the City. Through the Joint Use Agreement the City and District own the improvements to the Property - buildings, utilities, landscaping, fences gates, trash disposal, fuel dispensing system, parking area, driveways and any other structures on the property – as tenants in common with the City having 62% interest and the District having 38% interest. The City and District entered into a 99-year Joint Use Agreement for the Project (Joint Use Agreement) on October 19, 1992 that outlined obligations and uses of the project attached hereto as Exhibit C.
The Authority has not been used for any other purpose and has been essentially inactive since 1997. The Authority has served its purpose and is no longer a party to any lease financing for the Project or for any other financing, the City and District hereby desire to enter into this Termination Agreement to terminate the JPA Agreement pursuant to Government Code section 6510 and thereby dissolve the Authority.
The City and District hereby acknowledge that the Authority is not in possession of any property subject to disposition, division, or distribution, and the joint use agreement, as it may be amended from time-to-time, reflects their agreement on the disposition of the Project. Likewise, the City and District hereby acknowledge that the Authority is not in possession of any money for return.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the City and District hereby agree that the aforementioned recitals are true and correct and further agree as follows:
1. Termination. Pursuant to Government Code section 6510, the C ity and the
District hereby agree that the JPA Agreement shall terminate, all obligations of the City and District under the JPA Agreement shall cease, and all rights and powers of the Authority under the JPA Agreement shall cease, as of the date this Termination Agreement is signed by both parties. By virtue of the termination of the JPA Agreement, the Authority is dissolved as of that same date.
2. The Authority Has No Assets,
Property, or Money. The City and the District
agree that the Authority has no assets, property, or money to be disposed of, divided, distributed, or returned.
3. Binding Effect. This Termination Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the City, the District, and their respective successors and assigns.
4. Construction of Language . T he term s and conditions in this Termination Agreement have been arrived at through negotiation and each party had a full and fair opportunity to review and revise this Termination Agreement with legal counsel. Any ambiguity in this Termination Agreement will not be resolved against either party as the drafting party.
5. Severability. If
a court of competent jurisdiction determines a provision in this
EXHIBIT A
333
Termination Agreement is invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will nevertheless continue in full force and effect without being impaired in any way.
6. C
ounterparts. This Termination Agreement may be executed in counterpart by delivering a facsimile or secure electronic copy of the signed agreement to the other party, followed by delivery of the original documents bearing the original signatures.
However, failure to deliver the original documents does not affect the enforceability of this Agreement.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.1
DATE:
February 26, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Jeramy Young, Police Chief
SUBJECT:
Hearing to introduce an ordinance amending Livermore Municipal Code (LMC) Chapter
5.50 Tobacco Retailer Licensing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends City Council
introduce an ordinance
amending LMC Chapter 5.50 Tobacco Retailer
Licensing, to update retailer definitions and add compliance monitoring capabilities.
SUMMARY
In 2019, the City of Livermore adopted the Tobacco Retailer Licensing Ordinance. This ordinance provided further regulations for tobacco retailers and made the sale of flavored tobacco and vaping products illegal. The city continues to receive complaints regarding the sales of flavored tobacco and vaping products. Over the past year, city staff has conducted approximately five compliance checks and one multi-jurisdictional investigation involving the sales of flavored tobacco and vaping products. Staff researched options to improve Livermore's current municipal code to enhance the city’s ability to enforce tobacco related statutes and discourage the sales of these products within the city.
DISCUSSION
The Livermore Municipal Code makes the sale and possession of flavored tobacco products or vaping products illegal, absent a statutory exception. Despite these laws, some tobacco retailers continue to sell these products. City staff has identified several challenges to the enforcement of tobacco retailer laws. These retailers will often store products out of plain view to thwart enforcement efforts. The main challenge of current enforcement is meeting the requirements of California Penal Code Section 836. This statute outlines when city staff with enforcement authority may effect an arrest, including when they may issue a citation for an infraction or misdemeanor related to tobacco enforcement. The code requires that the offense be committed in city staff’s presence. Staff's experience has shown that violators rarely sell or openly possess these illegal tobacco products in front of a police officer or city staff, which limits the authority to act on suspected violations.
To mitigate these challenges, staff researched other municipal ordinances that might offer remedies. 378
Based on the results, staff is proposing amendments to Livermore's current tobacco retailer’s ordinance (Chapter 5.50), to include compliance monitoring and inspection authority by City of Livermore officials (amended section 5.50.110) and the discretion to utilize administrative fines and penalties. This change would provide city staff with a tool to address tobacco retailers who refuse to allow compliance monitoring or inspections. The fines would be no less than $250 and would not exceed $1,000, or possible revocation of their tobacco retailer license. Additional penalties could include cost recovery fees related to the law enforcement response. Livermore Municipal Code Sections 1.20 and 1.22 outline the process, including the appeals process, related to the issuance of administrative citations.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS:
The proposed amendments to Ordinance 5.50 are not expected to have any significant fiscal impact.
Penalties could result in some minimal revenue but would not likely cover full response costs.
COMMUNITY PILLAR:
1: A Safe Community that Thrives
GOAL
:
2: Provide proactive and effective public safety and crime prevention through direct enforcement and education, and in partnerships.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.2
DATE:
February 26, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Steve Riley, Acting Planning Manager
SUBJECT:
Hearing to consider adopting a resolution establishing a fee to cover staff costs when reviewing Preliminary Applications in accordance with the provisions of California Senate Bill No. 330, "The Housing Crisis Act of 2019."
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution establishing a Preliminary Application fee for eligible housing development projects, in accordance with the provisions of California Senate Bill No. 330, "The Housing Crisis Act of 2019", in the amount of $580.
SUMMARY
The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) was developed to provide streamlined pathways for housing development projects. This bill creates standardized processes through mandating objective standards.
This Preliminary Application was developed to satisfy the requirements of SB 330 and was designed to be adapted for future housing applications that may be developed by State law. The new state laws allow cities to adopt a fee to account for the time staff uses to review the application. Therefore, the current proposal is to adopt a fee in the amount of $580 to defray staff costs for reviewing the new applications.
The proposed fee is lower as compared to other entitlement application fees because staff review is limited to reviewing the application for completeness, including attachments such as site plans and building submittals.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) was developed to provide streamlined pathways for housing development projects. This bill creates standardized processes through mandating objective standards.
SB 330 prohibits local jurisdictions from enacting new laws that would have the effect of reducing residential density or delaying new housing via administrative or other regulatory barriers. Further, SB 330 provides that a qualifying housing development project is only subject to the ordinances, policies, and standards adopted and in effect when a Preliminary Application is submitted, which occurs at the 398
outset of the entitlement process. Such vesting is only provided to projects that meet the minimum application submittal criteria established in the law. SB 330 also limits the number of public hearings a project must go through. The law allows local jurisdictions to create an application that includes the required submittal criteria and materials and establish a fee for staff's review time of the Preliminary Application. In the last 24 months, the City has received six (6) Preliminary Applications under SB 330.
Since Livermore has not had a specific Preliminary Application that satisfies the requirements of SB 330, the model application provided by the state has been used.
After staff reviews and deems the application complete, applicants still need to submit a subsequent formal entitlement application package to the City consistent with the City's normal application submittal requirements. The Preliminary Application has fewer submittal requirements than the City's full development application submittal requirement. The provisions of SB 330 essentially create a two-step application process. Applicants can choose to utilize SB 330 provisions, but it is not a requirement.
SB 330 streamlines residential development consistent with current General Plan Housing Element policies and goals. The Creation of a Preliminary Application for eligible housing development projects is consistent with State requirements. Also, it allows the City to clarify SB 330 application submittal requirements and customize some requirements to better fit local standards. Further, establishing the new Preliminary Application fee will help defray staff costs for reviewing this new application type.
Fee Analysis
The estimated average time spent by staff reviewing the Preliminary Application is 3 hours of Associate Planner time, 1 hour of Principal Planner time, and 1 hour of Planning Admin Tech time. The fee reflects the sum of the fully burdened hourly rates of those positions, $117.54 for Associate Planners, $143.61 for Principal Planners and $82.75 for Planning Admin Techs. The total proposed fee is $580. Therefore, the proposed fee would cover all staff time required to review the Preliminary Application and is reasonable and proportional to complete the review required.
If City Council approves the fee, it would be added to the Citywide Fee Schedule. The fee will only apply to future Preliminary Applications upon submittal. In the last 24 months, the City has received approximately six (6) applications for residential development that have declared use of the SB 330 provisions. For these SB 330 applications, the City used the state model SB 330 application by default and could not charge a review fee since one was not established.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed fee is not a "project" as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 since it will not result in any potentially foreseeable direct physical impact on the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The proposed $580 fee is intended to cover reasonable staff costs associated with the Preliminary Application for housing development projects. The number of Preliminary Applications each year is expected to fluctuate based on the number of proposed residential developments in Livermore that year but is not expected to cause any significant fiscal or administrative impacts. The proposed fee would help cover staff review costs to satisfy the requirements of Senate Bill 330 as well as future Preliminary 399
Applications.

RESOLUTION NO. ________
IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A FEE FOR PRELIMINARY APPLICATIONS FOR
ELIGIBLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HOUSING CRISIS ACT OF 2019 (SB 330) IN THE AMOUNT OF $580 In 2019, the California State Senate passed Senate Bill 330 providing that an eligible housing development project is only subject to the ordinances, policies, and standards adopted and in effect when a “preliminary application” is submitted, which occurs at the outset of the entitlements process. Such vesting is only provided to projects that meet the minimum application submittal criteria established in the law. The law allows local jurisdictions to create an application that includes the required submittal criteria and establish a fee for staff’s review time.
Based on the estimated staff time to review each application, the fee is $580. The fee amount assumes that a preliminary application will require 3 hours of Associate Planner time, 1 hour of Principal Planner time, and 1 hour of Planning Admin Tech time.
The proposed fee is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 since it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore, that it hereby adopts a fee for Preliminary Applications for eligible housing development projects in accordance with the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) in the amount of $580.

City Council Meeting speech 2-26-2024 by Felicia Ziomek ertre LivernoroCltY Comcllmedngot
Good evening, City Council members & City employees.
l'm speaking to express serious concerns about the Airport Land Use Development & Analysis process for engaging with citizens who are "Stakeholders' and wish to participate in future Stakeholder meetings and discussions regarding the airport development.
Apparently, the stakeholders are being separated into various subgroups. And when citizens are interested in participating as a Stakeholder, the city presupposes which sub.group the citizen is assigned to, without giving them a choice. The city website (a) doesn't include the names of the various subgroups, and (b) doesn't explain that the city will be presupposing which subgroup the citizen wishes to join.
When I joined the list for stakeholder outreach, I urasn't informed the city would be separating stakeholders into subgroups, nor that the city assigned me to the "local environmenta! considerations" sub-group.
As the owner of a home in the Summerset neighborhood (just adjacent to the airport), my interests also include financial, land use, airport policy, and safuty. Not just environmental.
I still have no clue what the list of subgroups is. Saturday I happened to see a timeline on the Airport Land Use & Development website, and it listed a "Stakeholder Meeting" in February (see my snippet far below).
Knowing I enrolled as a Stakeholde6 I questioned why I didn't receive a meeting notice, requested when and where this meeting is scheduled, and where to find materials to review ahead of time. Mr. Cardwell replied, confirming l'm on the list for stakeholder outreach, in the local environmental considerations sub-group and mentioned the Stakeholders are being separated into narious sub-groups, the first I heard of this.
Despite having many names and emails of people who have previously given input on issues with the airport, theret been no notification about this process except in the last Airport Commission meeting agenda.
Posting on a website is not sufficient.
Despite confirmation that l'm on the city list of Stakeholders, when I send an email to [email protected], I get a reply indicating my email address isn't on the allowed senders list, so my emails to this address aren't being received. Fortunately, they were received by Mr. Cardwell and Mr. Stuth's direct email.
The message conveyed by this lack of transparency and lack of ful! disclosure is that you don't want citizens to participate in the Airport tand Use Development & Analysis process. That may not be the message you intend to send, but that's the message l'm receiving. Please don't let this continue. l've asked to receive a list of the airport development sub-groups, so I can choose which ones I want to be included in. l've also asked to receive meeting notes from the Stakeholder meetings that have already occurred, as well as a list of future Stakeholder meetings the public can attend.
My suggestions for updating your Airport Land Use Development & Analysis website:
List the various Stakeholder sub-groups and describe the type of fuedback you seek from each one.
Allow citizens to choose for themsefues which sub-group(s) they wish to be assigned to (and therefore receive meeting notices).
Post the agenda for each future sub.group meeting, with any supporting documents/information that should be revienued before the meeting.
Post the meeting notes after the meeting, including 'next steps' for that sub-group. 423
Thank you.

Dear City Council Members
At the City Council meeting Feb. 12th, I made two requests. First, I asked the Council to reduce the FBO timeline to certify an existing 1,000 gallon tank to sell UL 94 at Livermore Airport (LVK ). The air permit fee for the tank was paid, but a 30 to 60 day comment period to sell UL-94 at LVK still needs to occur. Permits can be expedited if a health issue is involved which clearly exists at LVK. I have sent emails to Ms. Becky Yu at BAAQMD requesting to fast-track the permit so the tank can be filled with UL-94. ! urge Council members to directly contact Ms. Yu as well.
My second request was to ask the City Council to purchase a 8500 hundred gallon tank for 100 unleaded av fuel. Tonight, under matters for consideration, please include the possible purchase of an 8500 hundred gallon tank to be used for Gami-100. The FAA has already approved and certified GAMI 100 UL to be used as a drop in fuel replacement for all types of piston engines. With 7 to 8 million dollars in the Airport Enterprise Funds, there is more than enough money to cover the estimated cost of 300,000 dollars for a new tank.
A city Facebook post states the city is in contact with GAIull "to be one of the first recipients of' GAMI 100 unleaded av fuel, which will be available in California this summer. Does this mean Livermore is on the GAMI reservation list or in contract to receive the first large batches of GAMI 100 unleaded fuel after Bakersfield, Reed-Hillview and Watsonville? Please clarify what "in communication with GAMI" means.
Finally, I would like to echo Felicia's concerns about the PROGESS for the scoping and data collecting stakeholder's meetings for the airport development. We were asked to submit names of non-aviation groups because none had been included. I personally submitted the names and emails of 35 groups, agencies and individuals who are concerned about future airport development for various reasons. Felicia was told she would be grouped with others having environmental concerns.
However, our concerns are not limited to the environment. We are also concerned about land use, financial aspects, the health of residents within a 1.5 mile radius of LVK, future fuels, etc. There needs to be a reset with transparency and inclusion. Please list the all the dates and times of meetings and let those interested pick the meetings they want to attend.
To those in the chambers and those watching at home, if you are concerned about the continued use of leaded fuel, noise, smalljet aircraft, etc. please contact [email protected]. to be included in airport development meetings. Now is the time to speak up.
Time is of the essence, Mr. Cardwell is scheduled to present the findings to the City Council in June.
