CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.3
DATE:
April 15, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Judy Erlandson, Acting Public Works Director
SUBJECT:
Introduce an ordinance, and waive the first reading, amending Title 11, Chapter 11.08, Airport Rules and Regulations, Chapters 11.08.010 Definitions and 11.08.110 Aviation Fueling Operations in the Livermore Municipal Code to Require Fixed Base Operators to Provide certain aviation fuels by December 12, 2025.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council
introduce an ordinance
and waive the first reading amending
Title 11, Chapter 11.08, Airport Rules and Regulations, Chapters 11.08.010 Definitions and 11.08.110 Aviation Fueling Operations in the Livermore Municipal Code to update the definition of Fuel and include a provision requiring Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) to provide Unleaded Aviation Fuel.
SUMMARY
On October 23, 2023, the City Council directed staff to update the Airport's Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities in response to community requests.
On December 11, 2023, City Council adopted a resolution amending the Livermore Airport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities to require the provision of Unleaded Aviation Fuel by Fixed Base Operators (FBOs).
This step is to begin the codification of the December 11, 2023, action into City Ordinance.
DISCUSSION
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued their final ruling regarding leaded fuel in aviation gasoline, effectively declaring that there is no safe level of lead in humans and as such finds the lead additives in aviation fuel to be an endangerment to the public.
On December 11, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution amending the Livermore Airport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities to require the provision of unleaded aviation fuel by the Fixed Based Operator (FBO), which must now be codified. Therefore, staff recommends that the City 128
Council introduce an ordinance and waive the first reading, amending Title 11, Chapter 11.08, Airport Rules and Regulations, Chapters 11.08.010 Definitions and 11.08.110 Aviation Fueling Operations in the Livermore Municipal Code to update the definition of Fuel and include a provision requiring Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) to provide Unleaded Aviation Fuel.
The final step is codifying these changes into City Ordinance which is done over two actions. The first (this recommended action) to introduce the ordinance and the second, the final approval of the ordinance 30 days after the introduction.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
There are no fiscal impacts associated with codifying the ordinance, and administrative impacts are minimal.

The Livermore Aviation fueling operations establishes procedures for proper fueling provisions, activities, and guidelines, as well as types of fuels available at the Livermore Municipal Airport (Airport).
Fuel sales are done onsite by a Fixed Base Operator (FBO) and the City of Livermore (City) does not directly sell fuel at the Airport.
On October 23, 2023, the City Council directed staff to update the Airport's Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities (Minimum Standards) in response to community requests.
On November 6, 2023, the Airport Commission reviewed and recommended the Minimum Standards for City Council approval.
On December 11, 2023, City Council adopted a resolution amending the Minimum Standards to require the provision of Unleaded Aviation Fuel by the FBO.
The amended Minimum Standards now requires the FBO to offer unleaded aviation fuel by December 12, 2025.
With the updates to the Minimum Standards, it is now necessary to update the Livermore Municipal Code to require an FBO to make certain aviation fuels available by December 12, 2025.
Amending the Livermore Municipal Code reflects the significant actions the City is taking to assist in the mitigation of lead exposure from the Livermore Municipal Airport.
This is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 and therefore, is not subject to environmental review.
The adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under the common sense exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, it is not subject to CEQA.

SUMMARY
The City of Livermore’s (City) Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system requires replacement to increase system reliability, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and meet regulatory compliance requirements. Construction activities include demolition, concrete, structural, electrical, and mechanical work on the UV influent piping, UV treatment channels, UV control building, and motor control center.
Six bids for the project were received on January 23, 2024. Staff recommends the City Council authorize a construction contract with Mountain Cascade Inc., the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Staff also recommends the City Council authorize a Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc. to provide construction management and inspection services. Staff further recommends the City Council authorize an amendment to an agreement with Black & Veatch Corporation to provide additional engineering support services during construction. Finally, staff recommends the City Council authorize supplemental appropriations from Sewer Replacement Fees Fund 239, Sewer Connection Fees Fund 241, and Water Replacement Fund 259 totaling $1,857,000 in FY 2024-25 and $2,438,000 in FY 2025- 26 to coincide with anticipated construction expenditures and to fully fund the project.
DISCUSSION
The WRP produces an average of two million gallons per day of recycled water from wastewater for irrigation, fire suppression, toilet flushing, construction, and industrial operations. This water recycling allows the City to reduce annual potable water use by over 25 percent. The WRP has been using the current UV disinfection system for two decades as the primary means to disinfect recycled water. The location of the UV disinfection system within the WRP is shown on Attachment 1.
The 2012 WRP Master Plan and the 2016 WRP Recycled Water System Asset Management Plan identify the existing UV disinfection system as aging infrastructure within the WRP. The current system has become outdated and does not fully function as originally intended. This includes a failure of the automated lamp cleaning system, a limited supply of spare parts, and an outdated control system. This project will replace the existing UV lamp modules and associated electrical, instrumentation, and control components. Replacing aged equipment will increase the efficiency and reliability of WRP operations by utilizing the latest available technologies to lower both energy consumption and ongoing maintenance costs. Structural rehabilitation will extend the useful life of related structures. The new system is anticipated to be fully operational in 2026 with minimal impacts on existing operations.
Black & Veatch Corporation conducted the replacement design from September 2022 to November 2023. On January 23, 2024, six bids were received and opened for this project. The lowest responsible and responsive bidder was Mountain Cascade, Inc. from Livermore. Satisfactory references for Mountain Cascade were obtained from other municipalities in California where they have completed similar work.
The following is a list of the bids received and the Engineer’s Estimate for the project.

The three lowest bid results represent a significant savings from the previously estimated project construction cost. Based on feedback from the design consultant and prospective bidders, the approximately $900,000 in savings is attributed to the aggressive bidding climate associated with this project. The pre-bid conferences were well attended, and a number of inquiries were received during the bidding period expressing detailed interest in winning the project.
In accordance with Livermore Municipal Code Section 2.68.560, Change Order authorization of 10% of the contract value is allowed.
Additional engineering and professional services are required to manage and support construction of this project.
To supplement staffing shortages in the City’s Engineering Division, professional services are required to provide construction management and inspection services. Construction management services will include leading the weekly meetings, maintaining project documentation, coordinating construction activities, preparing weekly inspection reports, managing submittals, and assistance with change orders, project commissioning, and project close-out. Inspection services will include conducting inspections in the fields of electrical, instrumentation, coating, civil, structural, mechanical, and plumbing.
Staff has selected Carollo Engineers, Inc. to provide such services. The selection process was based on the consultant’s qualifications and satisfying performance on similar projects. Currently Carollo Engineers, Inc. is providing construction management and inspections for the $23 million Primary and Secondary Treatment System Improvements Project 2019-31. They have developed an effective understanding of WRP processes, procedures, and operational constraints. For the UV Treatment System Replacement Project, Carollo Engineers has provided a proposal for professional services to perform construction management and inspections in the amount of $489,526.
On September 20, 2022, the City and Black & Veatch Corporation entered into an agreement for Black & Veatch to provide engineering services to support the project. The agreement covers the design of the replacement of the UV treatment system, assisting with permitting, and providing engineering services during construction. Based on the final extent of the design and the anticipated construction duration, an amendment to the agreement is required to cover additional engineering services. The additional services will include activities such as providing conformed drawings to incorporate extra design components, participation in additional construction meetings, review of additional submittals and requests for information, and additional onsite field observations. Black & Veatch has provided a proposal for additional engineering services during construction in the amount of $142,685, which covers the scope mentioned above.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The total expenditures to cover the design, construction contract, engineering services during construction, construction management, inspection, testing, project management, and potential change 144
orders for the WRP UV Treatment System Replacement Project is $8,576,000. Construction will start in May 2024 and be completed by June 2026. Based on this updated schedule, total expenditures are $552,099 in prior years, $703,000 in FY 2023-24, $4,883,000 in FY 2024-25, and $2,438,000 in FY 2025-26.
Funding for this project is included in the FY 2023-28 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan. The total current budget is $6,848,000 and includes funding from Fund 239 (Sewer Replacement Fees) and Fund 241 (Sewer Connection Fees). Since the beginning of 2023, when the budget was estimated in the Capital Improvement Plan, the total project cost estimate has increased by approximately 25% to $8,576,000.
Cost increases are due to items that needed to be added into the design prior to the project being bid such as UV building improvements, replacing a motor control center, and a customized UV control system. Additional cost increases include hiring a consultant firm for construction management and inspection versus using City staff. The City does not currently have enough inspectors to cover existing projects plus all of the new projects.
Staff has identified Fund 259 (Water Replacement Fund) as an appropriate funding source for this project. Over the last 20 years, the City has collected over $2,731,000 in South Livermore Recycled Water Fees from development in that area. These funds have been transferred to Fund 259 (originally Fund 604) and need to be used on recycled water projects. Expanding the current UV system capacity and increasing resilience will help offset potable use for the entire City. With the addition of Fund 259, the total estimated expenditures from Fund 239 and Fund 241 will be less than originally budgeted.
Attachment 2 shows current and proposed funding for this project. The project is currently funded through FY 2024-25. Due to an extended design period and longer procurement lead times, the construction period will be extended for one year into FY 2025-26. To proceed with this project, some of the current funding must be reduced for FYs 2023-25 and supplemental appropriations are required during FY 2025-26 to cover the entire project.
These budget adjustments include the following reductions and additions that total to a net increase of $1,663,000:
For Fund 239, reducing $1,314,000 from FY 2023-24 and $627,000 from FY 2024-25, and adding $1,173,000 to FY 2025-26. Net decrease of $768,000.
For Fund 241, reducing $455,000 from FY 2023-24 and $236,000 from FY 2024-25, and adding $391,000 to FY 2025-26. Net decrease of $300,000.
For Fund 259, adding $1,857,000 to FY 2024-25 and $874,000 to FY 2025-26. Net increase of $2,731,000.
Annual operations and maintenance costs for new equipment are estimated at $350,000 per year.
Operations and maintenance costs will be funded from the operating budget with Funds 239, 241, and 259. These O&M costs will be less than existing O&M costs due to energy savings and reduced maintenance.

RE: Budget Amendment Request for the Title 22 UV System Replacement Project Dear Yanming:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a budget amendment for the City of Livermore WRP Title 22 UV System Replacement Project (Project). The amendment request covers the effort associated with the additional scope items identified during the design development and also additional effort envisioned for the construction phase services.
The following provides a list of additional scope items to align with the amendment request:
• Task 1 – Project Management – No change
• Task 2 – 30% design:
o The following additional activities were performed
Incorporating two additional equipment pads for UV Control Equipment The WRP guidelines were reviewed, and instrument tagging was assigned consistent with the guidelines. In further discussions with the City, the instrument tagging was further modified to accommodate deviations as directed by the City to the WRP guidelines.
• Task 3 – 60% design:
o City requested adding a new washdown sink. The design incorporated the new sink including the associated Plumbing, Structural and Mechanical design. o The new location of the existing eyewash required a new concrete pad extension to the existing slab. This required additional structural effort. o At City’s direction, the fiber optic cable design was changed from the WRP guideline requirements which resulted in revising the specifications and drawings.
• Task 4 – 90% design:
o City directed BV to upsize the rating of the new MCC-G to 800 amp. BV advised the City that this would not allow to reuse the existing conduits. As part of that evaluation the following activities were performed:
Evaluation of the size of the feeder and circuit breaker at the switchgear B if MCC-G was to be upsized to 800A modbus.
Evaluation of the amperage availability for future EV loading.

Multiple discussions and coordination meetings with City o Addition of instantaneous water heater for relocated eyewash as required by the code.
o Control Room interior lighting improvements were requested by the City o Detailed conduit routing and labeling within the UV Facility were requested by the City.
o City requested addition of a new fiber optic cable from PLC-8 to PLC-4. The additional effort included network drawing updates, fiber panels, and specification updates.
• Task 5 –100% design:
o BV developed a detailed sequencing plan for City’s review and comments based on the operational and construction constraints provided by the City. This plan was significantly changed based on the additional detailed feedback received from the City.
o An additional 100% design submittal was prepared for City review and final comments which was not budgeted in the original scope.
• Task 6 – Title 22 ER and Regional Board Coordination – No change • Task 7 – Bid Phase Services – No change
• Task 8 – Construction Phase Services:
o Based on the complexity of construction sequence within an operating facility, City and BV have agreed to increase the contract amount for construction phases services to prepare for potential design changes, RFIs and submittal reviews.
• Task 9 – testing, Startup, and Commissioning – No change The Optional Tasks as indicated in the table on the following page will be removed from the contract.
A total of $142,685 is requested for these additional design phase and construction phase services. The table below presents the details of the additional effort.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.5
DATE:
April 15, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with Rincon Consultants, Inc. to provide planning consultant and project management services in an amount not-to- exceed $600,000 over a three-year term ending on April 16, 2027.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Rincon Consultants, Inc. to provide planning consultant and project management services, with a not-to-exceed amount of $600,000 and a term ending on April 16, 2027.
SUMMARY
The Planning Division is currently managing several large-scale, multi-year programs including the General Plan Update and Development Code Update, as well as a range of development entitlements, environmental analyses, citywide programs, and support roles for other divisions and the Capital Improvement Plan. The number of complex private development applications has increased, and the Planning Division expects that trend to continue.
The agreement with Rincon Consultants Inc. (Consultant), will allow the City to supplement staffing resources for a period of three years with a not-to-exceed contract amount of $600,000. The contract will be a part of the Fiscal Year 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26, and 2026-27 budgets.
Supplementing staffing resources in the Planning Division for this three-year period will facilitate progress on the City's high-profile programs and complex projects and enable the Planning Division to continue providing high-quality customer service and meet required timelines for processing of private development applications and public infrastructure and park projects.
DISCUSSION
The Planning Division processes development applications, manages short-and long-term programs and projects, responds to public inquiries, monitors project development progress and conformance with conditions of approval, prepares Development Code updates, responds to changes in State legislation, 177
and reviews environmental documents, among many other responsibilities. Consultant services are needed for a variety of planning and environmental services. Rincon Consultants was selected by the City for this agreement based on their quality performance on previous agreements with similar scopes of work.
The proposed Consultant will provide contract planning services to supplement and support planning staff with the large volume of project submittals the City continues to receive. Specifically, the Consultant will provide services such as:
project application completeness review;
coordinating of environmental document preparation;
ensuring consistency with specific plans and/or the General Plan; ensuring consistency with the Development Code;
preparing draft staff reports, draft findings, draft resolutions, and draft conditions of approval; coordination with the City Attorney or other departments as needed; and reviewing plan checks, mitigation monitoring and reporting programs, and drafting final planning actions.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The Professional Services Agreement has a not-to-exceed contract value of $600,000. Planning contract services provided under this contract for City projects would be offset by funds from individual project CIP budgets, while contract services for private projects would be offset from land use application fees.
Additional funding will be allocated from the Planning Division budget. Utilization of City staff time will be necessary to administer the consultant agreement and provide supervisory oversight of the Consultant's day-to-day performance.

Rincon Project No. 23-15561
Stephen Riley, Acting Planning Manager
City of Livermore Community Development Department
1052 S. Livermore Avenue
Livermore, California 94550
Via email: [email protected]
Subject: Proposal to Provide Contract Planning Services for the City of Livermore Dear Mr. Riley:
Rincon Consultants, Inc. is pleased to provide this proposal to assist the City of Livermore with contract planning services. We propose a multifaceted team of planning professionals with the capacity, City knowledge, and expertise to efficiently provide continued planning support.
Scope of Work
The cornerstone of Rincon’s contract planning philosophy is serving as an extension of City staff, while also placing our broad range of experience and technical expertise at the City’s disposal. We aim to integrate seamlessly into a planning division or department at every level. One of our key strengths for our approach to contract planning is our involvement in projects from “inception-to-implementation” which spans pre-planning through post-construction services.
Rincon’s professional planners can provide permit application processing and project management as “dedicated planners,” acting as an extension of, and under the direction of, City staff. We can bring projects from pre-application through consideration by City decision-makers and post-approval steps and can prepare draft planning documents and staff reports. We prioritize providing excellent customer service to applicants and other stakeholders, understanding the importance of demonstrating that our contract planners are as dedicated and knowledgeable as City staff. All of our current planning team members are former public sector employees with an understanding of the customer service aspect of the development review process. Rincon will make every attempt to manage projects costs by providing the planner most qualified for the specific assignment at the lowest hourly rate.
The typical process for processing projects requesting entitlements involves:
Receiving background information and copies of the project applications, site plans, technical reports, and any other relevant documents and studies from City staff Assigning a Rincon contract planner with experience commensurate to the complexity of the project
Reviewing project applications for completeness and providing constructive input to applicants in a timely manner consistent with the Permit Streamlining Act Corresponding with and/or conducting meetings with staff and applicants to address outstanding issues

Project Staffing

Lilly Rudolph, MPA, AICP, Director, will serve as point of contact for this proposal. Abe Leider, AICP CEP, Principal, will be Rincon’s Principal-in-Charge.

Rincon may propose additional staff members on a project-by-project basis to allow greater flexibility and staffing options based on complexity level, staff availability, and subject matter expertise and can provide resumes and hourly rates at that time. Individual staff resumes may be provided upon request.
Cost and Schedule
Contract planning services would commence April 16, 2024 through April 16, 2027, not to exceed $600,000. Rincon’s standard fee schedule is attached. The cost estimate is based on an average expenditure of $14,000 per month in 2024 with incremental increases through April 2027 to account for Rincon’s annual escalation rates shown in the fee schedule.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.6
DATE:
April 15, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing an agreement with Tagswag Holdings, Inc. dba All Video Media Solutions to install and configure hardware and software in five conference rooms throughout several city facilities including the Civic Center Library, Police Department, Water Reclamation Plant, Maintenance Services Center, and City Hall in an amount not- to-exceed $159,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the execution of an agreement with Tagswag Holdings, Inc. dba All Video Media Solutions (AVMS) to install and configure hardware and software in five conference rooms throughout several city facilities including the Civic Center Library, Police Department, Water Reclamation Plant, Maintenance Services Center, and City Hall all in an amount not-to-exceed $159,000.
SUMMARY
The City of Livermore (City) wants to upgrade the presentation systems in five conference rooms throughout various City facilities including the library, police station, and city hall. This modernization project requires specialized skills and knowledge so City staff will continue to partner with local vendor AVMS to perform this work.
AVMS was selected during the pilot phase of this project after reviewing their previous work at other customers facilities and comparing their bid with competing bids. This work is a continuation of that project, and City staff are re-using the design developed during the pilot.
DISCUSSION
City staff wants to upgrade the presentation systems in conference rooms throughout various City facilities. Due to the specialized skills and knowledge necessary to perform this work, City staff partners with local vendors to provide this skillset and knowledge. Due to the complexity of these systems, City staff developed a pilot project to design and install a solution in one conference room to test its functionality and usability that could be used in all conference rooms. 196
Staff collected several proposals for this pilot project and selected AVMS for the cost effectiveness and the quality of their previous work. This work is a continuation of that project, and the City is re-using the design developed during the pilot.
The system design has two major components, the primary presentation display, and the hardware, software, and labor needed to install the hardware and integrate the system into the meeting room. For this project, City staff chose to install Microsoft Surface Hub 2 devices due to their high level of integration with existing City technology. Staff purchased these devices separately directly from Microsoft using the OMNIA state contract to ensure the City received the competitively bid price and eliminate the need for the vendor to provide the hardware.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT
The not-to-exceed amount for procurement and deployment of the City’s new presentation hardware is $159,000 and includes all necessary hardware, infrastructure, installation services, maintenance, and a 10% contingency to allow City staff to take advantage of minor upgrades that may occur during the execution of the project.
All costs associated with the proposed project work will be covered by the current Information Technology Fund budget.
There are no ongoing costs associated with this project work aside from future repairs that may occur over the lifetime of the hardware. There will be a minor impact to staff time during initial phases of the installation and testing before acceptance of the project work. The expected lifespan of each room’s hardware is 4 – 6 years depending on usage.

13. Acceptance of Final Payment . Contractor ’s acceptance of final pay ment will release City from any and all claims and liabilities for compensation under this Agreement.
14. Acceptance of Work.

15. Conflict of Interest. Contractor represents that no City employee or official has a financial interest in Contractor . Contractor shall not offer, encourage, or accept any financial interest in any part of Contractor'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.

Contractor shall comply with City’s local conflict of interest code and the Political Reform Act, and prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if the S ervices involve making, or participation in making, decisions which may have a material effect on the Contractors’ financial interest. While it is Contractor ’s sole responsibility to evaluate its conflicts of interest, the Contractor nevertheless agrees to prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if requested by City.
17. Non-Exclusive Agreement. This is a non- exclusive agreement. City reserves the right to provide, and to retain other Contractors to provide, services that are the same or similar to the Services described in this Agreement.
18. No Assignment. Contractor 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 Contractor constitutes an assignment.
19. Remedies. All remedies permitted or available under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, are cumulative and alternative, and the invocation of a right or remedy will not be construed to waive or elect a remedy with respect to any other available right or remedy. As a condition precedent to commencing legal action involving a claim or dispute against City arising from this Agreement, the Contractor must present a written claim to City in accordance with Chapter 3.42 of the Livermore Municipal Code.
20. Construction of Language . T he terms and conditions in this Agreement have been arrived at through negotiation and each party had a full and fair opportunity to review and revise this Agreement with legal counsel.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.7
DATE:
April 15, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Anwan Baker, Library Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing execution of an amended purchase order with OverDrive for the licensing of e-books, audiobooks, and electronic periodicals, in an amount not-to-exceed $120,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an amended purchase order with OverDrive for the licensing of e-Books, audiobooks, and electronic periodicals, in an amount not-to-exceed $120,000.
SUMMARY
The Livermore Public Library licenses e-books, audiobooks, and electronic periodicals from OverDrive.
OverDrive has been the Library's primary e-book vendor for nearly a decade. This partnership has allowed the Library to efficiently provide patrons access to the newest and most popular reading materials. As the popularity of electronic resources and materials grows and reading expectations from patrons have evolved towards more e-books, the Library needs to allocate additional funds towards the licensing of these items. For FY 2023-24, the Library initially budgeted $98,000 for OverDrive related expenses and requested a purchase order for that amount; the Library now plans to expend $120,000 for these expenses which requires City Council approval.
DISCUSSION
OverDrive specializes in providing e-books, audiobooks, and electronic periodicals to libraries. This vendor offers a smooth and reliable process for content selection and quickly fulfills Library orders and requests. Because the Library purchases thousands of electronic materials each year, the order and receiving process must be simple and fast. Library patrons are able to access OverDrive's platform through the Library's website and app to select and borrow materials that the Library has licensed.
OverDrive provides the Library with book records that are easily integrated into the Library's Sierra Integrated Library System and catalog. OverDrive offers competitive pricing and services.
Per the Livermore Municipal Code (LMC) 2.68.370 noncompetitive negotiations may be used to select a 220
vendor “where it is determined that the supplies and equipment are unique or available only from one source” or “if there is no competitive advantage to be gained by soliciting bids.” The Library continuously assesses other vendors and marketplace offerings to remain aware of potential alternatives. While the Library purchases materials from a variety of vendors, it saves staff time and increases patron service to purchase e-books and electronic periodicals from OverDrive when they have our desired items.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The Library initially budgeted $98,000 for the licensing of e-books, audiobooks, and electronic periodicals from OverDrive for FY 2023-24. The additional requested funds for the licensing of these books and related materials will be re-allocated from other expense categories in the FY 2023-24 budget.

RESOLUTION NO. ________
IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN AMENDED
PURCHASE ORDER WITH OVERDRIVE FOR THE LICENSING OF
EBOOKS, AUDIOBOOKS, AND ELECTRONIC PERIODICALS IN AN
AMOUNT NOT-TO- EXCEED $120,000
The Livermore Public Library (“Library”) licenses e-books, audiobooks, and electronic periodicals from OverDrive. OverDrive has been the Library's primary e-book vendor for nearly a decade. This partnership has allowed the Library to efficiently provide patrons access to the newest and most popular reading materials. As the popularity of electronic resources and materials grows and reading expectations from patrons have evolved towards more e-books, the Library needs to allocate additional funds towards the licensing of these items. For fiscal year 2023-24, the Library initially budgeted $98,000 for OverDrive related expenses and requested a purchase order for that amount, however, now plans to expend $120,000 for these expenses which requires City Council approval.
Per the Livermore Municipal Code (LMC) 2.68.370 noncompetitive negotiations may be used to select a vendor “where it is determined that the supplies and equipment are unique or available only from one source” or “if there is no competitive advantage to be gained by soliciting bids.”
The Library continuously assesses other vendors and marketplace offerings to remain aware of potential alternatives. While the Library purchases materials from a variety of vendors, it saves staff time and increases patron service to purchase e-books and electronic periodicals from OverDrive when they have our desired items. Library patrons are able to access OverDrive's platform through the Library's website and app to select and borrow materials that the Library has licensed. OverDrive also provides the Library with book records that are easily integrated into the Library's Sierra Integrated Library System and catalog. OverDrive offers competitive pricing and services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore, that it hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute the amended purchase order with OverDrive for the licensing of eBooks and electronic periodicals in an amount not-to-exceed $120,000.
On motion of Council Member ______________________, seconded by Council Member ______________________, the foregoing resolution was passed and adopted on April 15, 2024, by the following vote:

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.8
DATE:
April 15, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Resolution determining Tract 8657, Triad East Amarone, located at the northeast corner of Triad Drive and North Canyons Parkway, is annexed to the City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2023-1 (Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Services).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution determining Tract 8657, Triad East Amarone, located at the northeast corner of Triad Drive and North Canyons Parkway, is annexed to the City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2023-1 (Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Services) and directing the City Clerk to record the Notice of Annexation.
SUMMARY
The Triad East Amarone project, Tract Map 8657, located at the northeast corner of Triad Drive and North Canyons Parkway, was conditioned to participate in a maintenance district to finance the maintenance and operation of services associated with the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan. The property owner, Civic Triad East, is fulfilling this obligation by requesting annexation to Community Facilities District No. 2023-1 (Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Services) (CFD No. 2023-1) and has provided the attached Unanimous Approval document that constitutes a unanimous vote by Civic Triad East in favor of annexing their property into CFD No. 2023-1.
DISCUSSION
On June 12, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 2023-92, approving the formation of CFD No. 2023-1 and a future annexation area (Future Annexation Area) for CFD No. 2023-1 under the Mello- Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Mello-Roos Act). At that meeting, a special election of qualified landowner electors in CFD No. 2023-1 was held at which at least two-thirds of the electors voting approved the levy of the special tax in the original boundaries of CFD No. 2023-1 and an appropriations limit for CFD 2023-1.
Subsequently, on June 26, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2147, to levy special taxes within CFD No. 2023-1, including any parcels that annex into CFD No. 2023-1. 224
The Future Annexation Area was established for CFD No. 2023-1 to create a streamlined process for projects to annex into CFD No. 2023-1 and contribute maintenance funds for the public amenities and/or infrastructure that is installed within the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan. The Future Annexation Area coincides with the boundary of the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan area. Parcels within the Future Annexation Area may annex into CFD 2023-1 without any requirement for further public hearings or additional proceedings if their owners execute a unanimous approval (Unanimous Approval), which under the Mello-Roos Act constitutes the vote of the qualified elector in favor of the matters addressed in the Unanimous Approval for purposes of California law.
CFD No. 2023-1 was formed to provide funding for the maintenance and operation of the following public amenities within the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan:
Neighborhood Streets - Main Streets, Bicycle Streets, and Pedestrian Streets within the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan
Neighborhood Parks
Neighborhood Trails
Neighborhood Plazas
Pedestrian Bridge/Tunnel Crossing of Isabel Avenue Valley Link Plaza and Pedestrian Bridges Valley Link Parking Lot
Costs for CFD No. 2023-1 administration, as well as Alameda County’s costs to collect the special taxes, will also be paid with special taxes levied in CFD No. 2023-1.
The Triad East Amarone project, Tract Map 8657, is located within the Future Annexation Area. The conditions of approval for the project require the property owner to participate in a maintenance district to finance the maintenance and operation of services associated with the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan. The property owner, Civic Triad East, is fulfilling this obligation by requesting annexation to Community Facilities District No. 2023-1 and has executed the attached Unanimous Approval.
Unanimous Approval constitutes a unanimous vote by Civic Triad East in favor of annexing their property to CFD No. 2023-1 and the annual levy of special taxes according to the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax (RMA).
To complete the annexation process for the Triad East Amarone project, Tract Map 8657, the City Council is asked to consider adopting a resolution determining that the property is annexed to CFD No. 2023-01. Adoption of the resolution will annex the project as Tax Zone 3 within the CFD No. 2023-1 and direct the City Clerk to record a notice of the annexation with the Alameda County Recorder. Attachment 1 shows a map of the CFD No. 2023-1 boundary with all tax zones created to date. This map will be updated as new tax zones are annexed into CFD No. 2023-1.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The City will administer CFD No. 2023-01 on an annual basis and will budget for, and manage, the necessary maintenance, operation, and administration. All related expenditures will be paid by the City with special taxes collected in CFD No. 2023-1. At buildout of the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan area, the estimated annual cost for maintaining all the items in the Description of Services for CFD No. 2023-1 is approximately $1,800,000 plus administrative expenses. As each new development within the specific plan is completed, they will be assessed their pro-rata share of the overall maintenance 225
expenses of the CFD No. 2023-1.
With this annexation, the Triad East Amarone project becomes Tax Zone 3 in CFD No. 2023-1. The FY 2024-25 Special Tax Requirement Max Cap for Zone 3 is estimated at $52,537, an average of $305.45 per residential unit as shown in Table 2 on page 18 of Exhibit A to the Resolution. This amount is the pro-rata share of the CFD maintenance costs attributed to Tax Zone 3. The max cap for Tax Zone 3 will increase on July 1, 2024, and annually each July 1 thereafter, based upon the prior calendar year’s change in the Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers (San Francisco-Oakland- San Jose, CA) plus one percent (CPI + 1%).
Future annexations will be numbered sequentially as distinct tax zones for purposes of the RMA. Each new zone will be assessed separately, based on their pro-rata share of the maintenance funds for the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan public infrastructure and amenities.

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA A RESOLUTION DETERMINING TRACT 8657, TRIAD EAST AMARONE, LOCATED
AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF TRIAD DRIVE AND NORTH CANYONS
PARKWAY, IS ANNEXED TO THE CITY OF LIVERMORE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2023-1 (ISABEL NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIFIC PLAN SERVICES) The City of Livermore (the “City”) is a general law city organized and existing under the Constitution and the law of the State of California.
Under the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, Chapter 2.5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5, commencing at Section 53311, of the California Government Code (the "Act"), this City Council is authorized to establish a community facilities district and to act as its legislative body.
This City Council previously undertook the following proceedings to establish the City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2023-1 (Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Services) (the “CFD”) and a future annexation area for the CFD (the “Future Annexation Area”) pursuant to the Act for the purpose of levying a special tax (the “Special Tax”) to finance certain municipal services (the “Services”) as provided in the Act:
(i) this City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-092, entitled “A Resolution of Formation of a Community Facilities District and Future Annexation Area” (the “Resolution of Formation), pursuant to which it established the CFD and the Future Annexation Area and authorized the levy of the Special Tax according to the rate and method of apportionment of special tax (the “Rate and Method”) set forth in Exhibit B of the Resolution of Formation and an appropriations limit, subject to an election within the CFD on the propositions of levying the Special Tax and establishing the appropriations limit;
(ii) this City Council caused a map of the proposed boundaries of the CFD and the Future Annexation Area to be recorded in the Alameda County Recorder’s Office on May 17, 2023, in Book 19 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts at Pages 41-42, and, in the Resolution of Formation, this City Council approved the boundaries shown in the map as the boundaries of the CFD and the Future Annexation Area; (iii) on July 12, 2023, a special election was held among the landowner voters within the CFD at which such voters approved the levy of the Special Tax in accordance with the Rate and Method and the appropriations limit by the two-thirds vote required by the Act, which approval was confirmed by Resolution No. 2023-094, entitled “A Resolution Declaring Results of 228

In the Resolution of Formation, and in accordance with Section 53339.7 of the Act, this City Council resolved that parcels within the Future Annexation Area shall be annexed to the CFD only with the unanimous approval (each, a “Unanimous Approval”) of the owner or owners of each parcel or parcels at the time that parcel or those parcels are annexed, without any requirement for further public hearings or additional proceedings.
Section 53339.8 of the Act provides that upon a determination by the legislative body that the area proposed to be annexed is added to the existing community facilities district, the clerk of the legislative body shall record notice of the annexation pursuant to Section 3117.5 of the Streets and Highways Code.
This City Council has been provided with a Unanimous Approval, which Unanimous Approval is attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed by the owner of certain property in the Future Annexation Area (the “Annexation Property”).

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.9
DATE:
April 15, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Resolution approving an exception to the Livermore Municipal Code bidding requirements and authorizing issuance of a purchase order in an amount not-to-exceed $120,000 for six CUBIC Trafficware Advanced Transportation Controller Cabinet Assemblies from AZCO Supply as part of the Traffic Signal Modification 2019-2021 Project 2019-33.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution:
1 .
Approving an exception to the bidding requirements contained in Livermore Municipal Code Section 2.68.370.B.2 because the supplies and equipment are unique and available from one source so there is no competitive advantage to be gained by inviting bids; and 2 .
Authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchase order in an amount not-to-exceed $120,000 for six CUBIC Trafficware Advanced Transportation Controller Cabinet Assemblies from AZCO Supply as part of the Traffic Signal Modification 2019-2021 Project 2019-33.
SUMMARY
The Traffic Signal Modification 2019-2021 project will replace the existing traffic signal controller cabinet assemblies with CUBIC Trafficware Advanced Transportation Controller (ATC) cabinet assemblies at the following six locations that are shown in Attachment 1:
• Greenville Road / Las Positas Road
• Olivina Avenue-Chestnut Street / N. P Street
• E. Stanley Boulevard / Railroad Avenue
• E. Stanley Boulevard / Fenton Street
• E. Stanley Boulevard / Wall Street
• N. Canyons Parkway / Triad Place
The existing traffic signal controllers were made by CUBIC Trafficware; however, the cabinets were 250
made by various vendors and are approaching their service life. In the past several years maintenance of these traffic signals has increased. Purchasing CUBIC Trafficware Advanced Transportation Controller (ATC) Cabinet Assemblies which are compatible with the existing system will increase efficiency and minimize maintenance. Staff recommends the City Council approve a sole source purchase of CUBIC Trafficware ATC Cabinet Assemblies for six traffic signals from AZCO Supply. AZCO Supply is the sole distributor of CUBIC Trafficware cabinets in Northern California.
DISCUSSION
There are a total of 112 signalized intersections in Livermore, a majority of which were constructed between 1970 and 1990. Maintenance of the controller cabinets has increased at the following six intersections and replacing them will prevent unanticipated malfunctions, impacting traffic.
• Greenville Road / Las Positas Road
• Olivina Avenue-Chestnut Street / N. P Street
• E. Stanley Boulevard / Railroad Avenue
• E. Stanley Boulevard / Fenton Street
• E. Stanley Boulevard / Wall Street
• N. Canyons Parkway / Triad Place
The existing traffic signal controllers at the listed intersections were made by CUBIC Trafficware; however, the cabinets were made by various vendors. Staff researched and identified CUBIC Trafficware Advanced Transportation Controller (ATC) Cabinet Assemblies as the most compatible with the existing system.
Purchasing CUBIC Trafficware Advanced Transportation Controller (ATC) Cabinet Assemblies will increase efficiency and minimize maintenance.
It will also support new technologies,
such as Connected Vehicles and Autonomous Vehicles, and it conforms to the latest Advanced Transportation Controller Cabinet Standard (ATC 5301 v02.02, dated March 18, 2019).
CUBIC Trafficware cabinets are produced in the United States and AZCO Supply is their sole Northern California distributor. If the City purchases CUBIC Trafficware cabinets from AZCO Supply, AZCO Supply will also partner with CUBIC Trafficware to keep ATC Cabinets with Livermore Specifications in inventory in Stockton, CA in the event replacement is needed.
Section 2.68.370.B.2 of the Livermore Municipal Code provides exceptions to the bidding procedure where it is determined that the supplies and equipment are unique or available only from one source so that there is no competitive advantage to be gained by soliciting bids.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Funding for the Traffic Modification 2019-2021 Project 2019-33 is included in the 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Program with $410,000 of Measure BB - Local Streets and Roads (Fund 688) funds in Fiscal Year 2023-24. This existing budget covers this purchase, and no additional appropriations are required. Replacing this equipment will not increase operating and maintenance costs.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.10
DATE:
April 15, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Jeramy Young, Police Chief
SUBJECT:
Resolution receiving the Livermore Police Department's 2023 Annual Review of Military Equipment Report, determining that the equipment identified in the report complies with applicable standards, and determining the Livermore Municipal Code section 2.36.200 Military Equipment should be renewed and remain in effect.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends City Council:
1 .
Accept the Livermore Police Department's 2023 Annual Military Equipment Report; 2 .
Determine that the equipment identified in the report complies with the City’s policy and the statutory requirements; and
3 .
Review Livermore Municipal Code section 2.36.200 Military Equipment Policy and vote on whether to renew the ordinance.
SUMMARY
The Livermore Police Department (LPD) regularly utilizes a wide range of equipment to provide effective public safety service to the community. This variety of equipment provides a multitude of options to help address and de-escalate situations that are often tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving. Having the availability of different equipment options minimizes the potential for harm to the public, the suspect, and the police department staff.
In 2022, a new state law (AB 481) required City Councils to adopt, by ordinance, a policy pertaining to the finding, acquisition, and use of certain types of equipment utilized by local police departments. The law also mandated other considerations related to public engagement and annual reporting. The first report was prepared on April 11, 2022, and this report serves as our annual report for 2023.
DISCUSSION
On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 481, related to law enforcement’s funding, acquisition, and use of certain types of equipment, which AB 481 identified as 256
“military equipment.” This designation of military equipment is not necessarily synonymous with items regularly utilized by the United States military or surplus items provided to law enforcement agencies through federal programs such as the 1033 Program. None of the designated items by the Livermore Police Department were obtained from the federal government through the 1033 Program.
Many of the items identified in this legislation have been in local use for years, while others have never been used by the Livermore Police Department. Many of the designated items, such as bean bag launchers, are commonly used as alternatives to higher levels of force, while others are not directly related to the use of force by law enforcement (i.e., Command post vehicles and non-weaponized robots/drones).
Assembly Bill 481 was codified in Government Code Sections 7070 through 7075. The bill required law enforcement agencies to obtain City Council approval of an equipment policy via ordinance, at a regular meeting held pursuant to open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of certain equipment identified in the Government Code. All California law enforcement agencies wishing to continue their use of this equipment were required to commence the authorization process by May 1, 2022. The Livermore City Council complied with this requirement on April 11, 2022, by adopting Ordinance 2.36.200.
Government Code 7070 designates certain equipment as “military equipment.” Included in that definition are the following items possessed and/or used by the Livermore Police Department within the normal scope of operations (please refer to Attachment 1 for specific quantities and additional information):
Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles (note: these items are used for observation purposes only, and do not possess weapons capabilities).

Livermore Police Department policies and case law dictate when and how certain types of equipment may be used. Departmental equipment, especially any item that could be used as a force option, is expected to be used in a manner consistent with all applicable laws and policies. Department policies also require officers to utilize de-escalation and crisis intervention techniques, as well as other alternatives to force when feasible.
In addition to the equipment owned by the City of Livermore, use of allied agency equipment is also subject to the requirements of the policy. The use of equipment from allied agencies augments the department’s inventory for command and control, scene safety, intelligence gathering, lethal force applications, and less-lethal force applications to meet the vast array of potential circumstances that 257
might require law enforcement action. Many of those allied agency options may never actually be needed but are important tools to have available when facing uncertain and uncommon circumstances.
Government Code Section 7071(e)(2) allows the governing body of a city to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, or other equipment as determined by the governing body to require additional oversight, within its jurisdiction only if it makes specified determinations, which include the following:
1 .
Equipment is necessary because there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian.
2 .
The Livermore Police Department Military Equipment Policy (#709) will safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.
3 .
The equipment is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officers and civilians.
4 .
The policy is approved.
In addition to the initial requirements of the legislation, law enforcement agencies must also complete the following:
• Designate a member of the department to act as the coordinator for the listed military equipment.
Compliance: The department has complied with this requirement by designating the Force Options Unit Lieutenant as the Coordinator. Additional staff will support the Force Options Unit Lieutenant in meeting all requirements.
• Identify department equipment that qualifies as military equipment (as defined by Government Code Section 7070) in the current possession of the Livermore Police Department, or the equipment the Livermore Police Department intends to acquire that requires approval by the governing body.
Compliance: The department has complied with this requirement by conducting a related inventory of current equipment (attached hereto and incorporated by reference) and by identifying future acquisitions as part of the budget.
• Conduct an inventory of all listed equipment.
Compliance: The department has completed the current inventory and has added the inventory as an attachment.
• Collaborate with any allied agency that may use listed equipment within the jurisdiction of the Livermore Police Department.
Compliance: The department has collaborated with allied agencies and included allied agency assets in the “Allied Agency Equipment” section of the attached equipment inventory. This collaboration includes the department’s partnership with the Pleasanton Police Department to form a joint Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team, known as the East County Tactical Team.
Additional forms of listed equipment should not be used in this jurisdiction, except in exigent circumstances with approval of the Chief of Police or his/her designee. Any such exigent use shall be reported to the public on the department’s website within 30 days of use unless it is deemed to be confidential under the law. Applicable reporting shall include a description of the item used, the general reason for its use, and any reasonably known fiscal impact resulting from the equipment use.
• Prepare for, schedule, and coordinate an annual community engagement meeting to include publicizing the details of the meeting and preparing for public questions regarding the department’s 258
funding, acquisition, and use of listed equipment.
Compliance: The Force Options Unit Lieutenant has been designated to complete this requirement, which commenced in 2023. A community meeting was held on March 25, 2024, at the Livermore Police Department.
• Prepare an annual report for submission to the Chief of Police and ensure that the report is made available on the department website.
Compliance: The Force Options Unit Lieutenant and the Professional Standards Unit Sergeant have been assigned to complete this task on an annual basis. Refer to the attached 2023 Annual Military Equipment Report.
• Establish a procedure for a person to register a complaint of concern, or how that person may submit a question about the use of a type of equipment listed by Government Code Section 7070 and how the department will respond in a timely manner.
Compliance: The Professional Standards Unit Sergeant has been assigned to meet this requirement by adding an applicable section and email link on the Livermore Police Department website. There were no complaints or concerns in 2023.
Staff worked diligently to comply with all requirements of this legislation. Additionally, staff plans to include future acquisition authorizations through the regular budget approval process.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The legislation is not expected to have any significant fiscal or administrative impacts beyond the labor required to meet the annual inventory and transparency related requirements.
COMMUNITY PILLAR:
1: A Safe Community that Thrives
GOAL:
3: Implement processes that ensure a high degree of public trust and community support.

Type Kinetic Breaching Tool (KBT)
Description
A 36" mechanical breaching device designed to be used in any space. This tool employs the best of physics in the form of a self-contained, jack-hammer style impact ram driven by a powder- actuated cartridge. This allows a large amount of energy to be precisely directed into locking mechanisms, hinges, or braces while minimizing the chances of collateral projectiles. This device can be used by officers of all sizes. There is no swinging motion required and can significantly reduce injuries of properly trained officers.
Quantity 3 devices
Capabilities 8 shots capable of breaching steel security doors.
Expected lifespan 10+ years
Manufacturer's description
A mechanical breaching tool that bridges the gap between traditional mechanical breaching, shotgun breaching, and explosive entry. The KBT utilizes a proprietary .45 Caliber handgun blank to deliver up to 850 ft/lb of force through a hardened steel ram. Unlike explosive or shotgun breaching, however, all of the force is mechanically driven through a ram. This means that no projectile or explosive energy leaves the device except for the force of the ram which is permanently captured in the device. The ramming surface is narrow enough to focus on a single hinge, yet powerful enough to breach steel security doors.
Purpose and authorized uses
To provide immediate entry into secure structures to protect life, property, or evidence as necessary and authorized by law.
Fiscal impact $10,628 initial cost; $800 annually for training and operational ammunition.
Legal and procedural rules

AND DETERMINING THAT THE EQUIPMENT IDENTIFIED IN THE
REPORT COMPLIES WITH THE APPLICABLE STANDARDS, AND
DETERMINING THAT LIVERMORE MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION
2.36.200 MILITARY EQUIPMENT POLICY SHOULD BE RENEWED
AND REMAIN IN EFFECT
On September 20, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 481 (enacting Government Code section 7070, et seq.), for the use of military equipment by California law enforcement agencies.
The statutes enacted by AB 481 seek to provide transparency, oversight, and an opportunity for meaningful public input on decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, or used by local police department. The Livermore Police Department is in possession of and acquires certain items of equipment that qualify as “military equipment” as defined by the applicable statutes.
On April 11, 2022, the City Council conducted a public hearing to receive input and comments on the City’s proposed military equipment policy, and thereafter introduced, and on April 25, 2022, adopted Ordinance No. 2134 adding section
2.36.200 Military Equipment Policy to the Livermore Municipal Code.
Consistent with the statutes enacted by AB 481, the Livermore Police Department prepared the 2023 Annual Military Report , attached hereto as Exhibit A, and it held a community engagement meeting on March 25, 2024, for public questions regarding the funding, acquisition, and use of the listed equipment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore, that it hereby receives the Livermore Police Department’s 2023 Annual Military Equipment Report , attached hereto as Exhibit A, and based upon that report and the information presented in the staff report for this resolution hereby determines that:
1. The equipment is necessary because there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety;
2. The equipment policy (Policy 709) will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties;
3. The equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; and,
4. The use of the equipment complies with the policy that was in effect at the time. 282
RESOLUTION NO. ________
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that it hereby determines that the policy set forth in Livermore Municipal Code section
2.36.200 Military Equipment Policy should be renewed and remain in effect.

ANNUAL MILITARY REPORT FOR 2023
3 Introduction
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of
California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified as sections 7070-7075 of the California Government Code) requiring
law enforcement agencies, such as the Livermore Police
Department, to have a military use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding, acquiring or using military equipment. Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.
On April 11, 2022, the Livermore City Council approved
Ordinance Section 2.36.200 Military Equipment Policy. As required by Assembly Bill 481 and the Ordinance, the
Livermore Police Department must prepare a report on
the use of each type of military equipment approved in
the Policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy and Annual Report, and determine whether the Department’s use of military
equipment in the past year complied with the Policy,
and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, take
action (by ordinance) to modify the Policy, or repeal the Ordinance.
As set forth in the Policy, the Livermore Police Department retains and employs limited military equipment
to safeguard its community. LPD officers, certified
instructional staff, and specialized units receive training throughout the year on the use of military equipment
approved under the Policy.
This Annual Report outlines the Livermore Police
Department’s military equipment inventory and usage,
community complaints over use of military equipment, and internal audits from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The Department will submit its Military Equipment Annual Report to City Council annually.
Effective January 1,
2022, Assembly Bill
(AB) 481 requires
law enforcement
agencies to obtain
approval of the
applicable governing
body (Mayor and
City Council), by
adoption of a military
equipment use policy
prior to taking certain
actions relating to the
funding, acquisition,
or use of military
equipment.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.11
DATE:
April 15, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Resolution of continued local emergency in response to impacts from a series of severe storm events last year.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution of continued local emergency in response to impacts from a series of severe storm events last year.
SUMMARY
On January 10, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution ratifying the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services Concerning the Existence of a Local Emergency (Resolution No. 2023-001) in response to impacts from a series of severe storm events.
On February 27, April 24, June 12, July 24, September 11, October 23, and December 11, 2023, and January 22, 2024, and March 11, 2024 the City Council adopted resolutions of continued local emergency. California Government Code section 8630 directs the City Council to review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days.
DISCUSSION
On January 4, 2023, the Executive Department of the State of California issued Executive Order N-2-23 proclaiming a State of Emergency for the Atmospheric River that started on December 27, 2022. On January 10, 2023, the City Council ratified a proclamation by the Emergency Services Director of the existence of a local emergency due to conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property that arose within the City of Livermore caused by a series of severe rainstorms and high wind commencing in December 2022 and continuing through January 2023.
Proclamation 23-01 was ratified, as required, by the City Council within seven days (Resolution No. 2023-001). Once ratified, California Government Code section 8630 directs the City Council to review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days. On February 27, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution of continued local emergency (Resolution No. 2023-06). 294
On March 1, 2023, the Executive Department of the State of California issued a proclamation of State of Emergency due to a severe winter storm event beginning in February 2023 bringing damaging winds and historic precipitation that caused federal and state highways and road closures, and continued to threaten critical infrastructures, power outages, etc.
On March 24, 2023, the Alameda County Director of Emergency Services proclaimed a state of emergency due to conditions of continuing peril that have been presented by winter storms that resumed on February 23, 2023, continuing through March 2023, causing extensive damage and local expenses throughout the County.
On February 27, April 24, June 12, July 24, and September 11, and October 23, and December 11, 2023, January 22, and March 11, 2024 the City Council adopted resolutions of continued local emergency (Resolution Nos. 2023-026, and 2023-072, and 2023-111, and 2023-150, and 2023-159, and 2023-187, and 2023-223, and 2024-012, and 2024-031 respectively).
Staff recommends that the City Council continue the emergency proclamation to reflect the fact that emergency repairs have not been fully implemented and on-going work is required to recover from the damage. Continuing the emergency proclamation allows staff to seek reimbursement of the eligible costs of this work from federal and state agencies through the public assistance program.
Work includes removing sediment and debris from creeks and trails, repairing creek banks that have been washed away, repairing damaged trails, and pedestrian bridge abutments. Staff estimates about 30 damaged sites totaling approximately $9,000,000.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The continuance of a Local Emergency allows the City to access federal, state and county resources, including potential financial reimbursements.

RESOLUTION NO. _______
IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION OF CONTINUED LOCAL EMERGENCY
(Severe Storm Events – December 2022 through March 2023) On January 10, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution, Ratifying the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services Concerning the Existence of a Local Emergency (Resolution No. 2023-001). The emergency services proclamation concerns conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property which have arisen within the City of Livermore caused by a series of severe rainstorms and high winds commencing in December 2022, and continuing through January 2023. On February 27, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution of continued local emergency (Resolution No. 2023-026).
On March 1, 2023, California Governor, Gavin Newsom, proclaimed a state of emergency due to the severe winter storms that struck in late February as the result of an atmospheric river system forecast to continue through mid-March. The Governor issued his proclamation in response to a series of atmospheric river systems that impacted the State since late December 2022, that forced closures and damaged highways and roads, and caused other impacts that local agencies did not have time to mitigate, and that the continuing storms were expected to exacerbate those conditions.
The Governor adopted a subsequent proclamation on March 28, 2023, to apply his March 1st proclamation to Alameda County. The Governor's proclamation directed the California Office of Emergency Services to provide assistance to local governments for the protection of public health and the environment, allowed for the mobilization of the California National Guard, allowed for state-owned properties to be made available for staging debris, and modified the hours-of-service limits in the California Vehicle Code and California Code of Regulations for fuel transportation and relief efforts.
Given the declaration of emergency by the State of California and Alameda County, as well as the existing damage and impacts from the prior storms, and in anticipation of additional storms and wind, the need for continued debris removal, emergency response protective measures, and permanent repairs, continue to present conditions that are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of the City of Livermore.
On March 24, 2023, the Alameda County Director of Emergency Services proclaimed a state of emergency due to conditions of continuing peril that have been presented by winter storms that resumed on February 23, 2023, continuing through March 2023, causing extensive damage and local expenses throughout the Alameda County Operational Area.
Although efforts have been made to remedy the emergency conditions, City staff report that the emergency conditions identified by the proclamation still exist. City staff recommends continuing the declaration of emergency since it is required to be active in 297
RESOLUTION NO. _______
order to remain eligible to apply for and receive funding for costs to respond to and repair damages caused by the storm events.
Once a proclamation of local emergency is adopted, California Government Code section 8630 directs the City Council to review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that it has reviewed the January 4, 2023 proclamation of local emergency that the City Council ratified on January 10, 2023 (Resolution No. 2023-001) and continued on February 27, 2023 (Resolution No. 2023-026) and on April 24, 2023 (Resolution No. 2023-072), and on June 12, 2023 (Resolution No. 2023-111), and on July 24, 2023 (Resolution No. 2023-150), and on September 11, 2023 (Resolution No. 2023-159), and on October 23, 2023 (Resolution 2023-187), and on December 11, 2023 (Resolution No. 2023-223), and on January 22, 2024 (Resolution 2024-012), and on March 11, 2024 (Resolution 2024-031) as well as the subsequent proclamations of emergency in March 2023 by both the State of California and the County of Alameda due to the continuing systems of storms affecting the State and local areas, and hereby finds that conditions warrant continued maintenance of that proclamation of local emergency.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.12
DATE:
April 15, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing the allocation and appropriation of Community Development Block Grant, Home Investment Partnership Program, Housing In-Lieu funds, and General funds in the total amount of $972,988 for Fiscal Year 2024-25 and authorizing the execution of documents required to receive, use, and distribute funds.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff and the Human Services Commission recommend the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the allocation and appropriation of approximately $972,988 in funding as listed below and authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute all related documents, grant agreements, and modifications. 1 .
Community Development Block Grant Funds in the estimated amount of $434,865 2 .
HOME Investment Partnership Program Funds in the estimated amount of $148,123 3 .
In-Lieu Housing Funds in the amount of $310,000
4 .
General Funds in the amount of $80,000
SUMMARY
Each year, the City of Livermore brings together multiple funding sources to support capital projects and public service programs benefiting low-income Livermore households that are consistent with the City’s goals and priorities as outlined in the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan (FYs 2020-24). These funding sources include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These Federal dollars are leveraged with City resources including the Human Services Facility Fee, Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee, and General Fund.
The Human Services Commission (Commission) and staff recommend the City Council approve the funding recommendations set forth in Exhibit A to the Resolution in the estimated amount of $972,988.
Exhibit A includes the administration cost, annual repayments due on the City’s two Section 108 loans, and the allocation of funding to 13 activities provided by nine public and nonprofit agencies, including a new Section 108 loan for Tri-Valley Haven for Women Emergency Shelter Rebuild beginning July 1, 2024. If approved, these funds, leveraged with other local public and private funding sources, will serve 299
over 3,500 low-income, senior, youth, homeless, and disabled Livermore residents next fiscal year. The approval and appropriation are contingent on a related Council action at this meeting to approve the Annual Action Plan for FY 2024-25 and the proposed Section 108 Loan Application.
DISCUSSION
Grant Allocation Process
On September 21, 2020, the Human Services Commission launched a community outreach process, as required by the Citizen Participation Plan, to identify priority housing and human services needs in Livermore. This process involved digital community meetings conducted in English and Spanish, a forum with community-based organizations, and a multilingual survey with 145 respondents. The City partnered with the Livermore Housing Authority, Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, and numerous service providers to ensure that low-income families, people experiencing homelessness, seniors, and non-English speakers could participate. The Human Services Commission and City Council evaluate the needs assessment and grant priorities on an annual basis and update them as needed.
In July 2023, staff emailed a needs assessment survey to the Human Service Interest list which includes the local non-profit providers and posted the survey on the City’s website. Additionally, CityServe of the Tri-Valley collected surveys from their clients at the Multi-Service Center, and City staff attended five (5) outreach events to collect surveys and information regarding the needs in the community. The survey was available in English and Spanish. The City received 109 completed surveys.
On September 12, 2023, the Human Services Commission considered the results of the survey and recommended a set of four funding priorities for the next Housing and Human Services Grant cycle. The four priorities were: Housing Services, Homeless Services, Public Health, and Social Safety Net Access and were approved by Council on October 23, 2023.
The process to determine funding recommendations was similar to previous grant cycles. In early December 2023, as part of a regional coordinated effort to allocate funds to local agencies, staff from Livermore, Dublin and Pleasanton held a workshop for nonprofit and public agencies to discuss the grant application process. Application requests were due to the City on January 19, 2024 and submitted electronically through an online grant application program.
The Human Services Commission evaluated and scored all grant applications submitted to the City by nonprofit and public agencies. The Commission and staff reviewed the applications against multiple criteria including need and benefit, program evaluation, budget, alternative funding sources, community support, and prior grant management and application completeness. All applicants were required to make a presentation and responded to questions regarding their grant application at the February 13, 2024, Commission meeting. The Commission reviewed and approved the proposed funding recommendations to Council during their regular meeting on March 12, 2024.
The City has traditionally allocated Federal and local funds through the Housing and Human Services Grant Program to eligible public and nonprofit agencies that provide housing and services. For FY 2024- 25, the City’s Housing and Human Services Grant Program received 26 applications from 19 agencies requesting $1,576,965 in grant funding. In FY 2024-25, there is an estimated $404,865 in CDBG funding, $30,000 in prior year(s) CDBG capital funding, an estimated $148,123 in HOME funding, $310,000 in Housing In-Lieu funding and $80,000 in General Funds that is being recommended to fund 13 projects 300
(nine organizations), Section 108 Loans, and Administration for a total of $972,988.
The projects recommended for funding will include a new Section 108 Loan for the rebuild of Tri-Valley Haven’s Emergency Shelter, two Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Programs (TBRA), Senior Meals, a Food Pantry, the Meals on Wheels Program, an Enrollment Specialist, along with services for seniors, disabled residents, and children. A detailed description of each available funding source with the recommendations is described below.
Community Development Block Grant Funds $434.865
:
Federal CDBG funds originate as an entitlement grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Program regulations require that CDBG entitlement fund programs address one of three national objectives: (1) assisting low-income persons, (2) eliminating slum and blighted property, or (3) meeting needs created by a national emergency. The City must annually report to HUD how each organization receiving CDBG funding meets at least one of the three national objectives as well as all other HUD and Office of Management and Budget program guidelines. HUD restricts the amount of CDBG funds a jurisdiction can allocate within a specific program area. The City may allocate up to 15 percent of the entitlement amount to public services that support operational costs and provide supportive safety net services to low-income persons, and 20 percent for administration of the program.
The remaining funds are allocated for capital projects. Due to federal budging delays, the City has not received the exact allocation amount from HUD for FY 2024-25. Livermore anticipates receiving approximately $404,865 which is based on last year’s allocation. Once the final allocation is received from HUD, the estimated grant amounts, excluding the Section 108 loan repayments which are on a fixed schedule, will be increased or decreased proportionally. The City is also proposing to allocate $30,000 of available prior year(s) capital entitlement to help cover the cost for the new Section 108 Loan, for a total allocation of $434,865 of CDBG funding in FY 2024-25.
HOME Funds $148,123
:
Like CDBG, the HOME Program also has restrictive program allocation guidelines. Projects funded with HOME dollars are limited to activities that either create or preserve housing opportunities. Eligible activities include acquisition, residential rehabilitation, residential new construction, homebuyer assistance, and tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) that benefit low-income persons. HOME funds are allocated to the City through the Alameda County HOME Consortium. The City must allocate the funds by December 31, 2024, and has up to four years to expend funds on a project activity. Like the CDBG funding, due to federal budgeting delays, the City has not received the exact allocation amount from HUD for FY 2024-25. Livermore anticipates receiving approximately $148,123, which is based on last year's allocation. Final grant amounts will be increased or decrease proportionally once the final allocation is received.
Affordable Housing In-Lieu Funds $310,000
:
City Affordable Housing In-Lieu funds originate from development fees and are used to finance a variety of programs and mechanisms for creating and sustaining affordable housing in Livermore. These funds are strictly limited to housing support services and have traditionally helped backfill limited public services funding for homeless shelters and housing services for individuals experiencing homelessness.
General Fund $80,000
:
301
Each year the City receives numerous qualified grant applications from agencies providing core safety net services in Livermore. Due to the depletion of the City's Social Opportunity Endowment fund (SOE), there is significantly less funding to backfill limited CDBG dollars for public services. Staff is currently working with a consultant to develop a sustainable funding strategy for human services needs, and the use of General Funds is intended to be a temporary backfill for SOE funding. The Human Services Commission recommends $80,000 in general funds, which is included in the approved FY 2024-25 operating budget, for public services which include services at a food pantry, an enrollment specialist, along with services for seniors, disabled residents, and children in Livermore. These five projects scored favorably by the Commissioners and will provide services to 2,400 Livermore residents.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Administration of the Housing and Human Services Grant program includes completion of environmental review, monitoring of federal wage projects, disbursement of funds, contract and invoice management, submission of annual reports to HUD, and monitoring of each sub-recipient to ensure funds are expended according to the City contract, HUD, and Office of Management and Budget regulations. To ensure compliance with the broad range of federal and local grant regulations, 20% of CDBG funding, approximately $80,972, and 5% of the HOME allocation, approximately $8,475, will be used to administer the grants.
Appropriation of the grant funds detailed above will come from the following sources as referenced in Exhibit A to the Resolution: CDBG funds $434,865 (Fund 613); HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds $148,123 (Fund 671); Housing In-Lieu funds $310,000 (Fund 611); and General Funds $80,000 (included in the FY 2024-25 budget), for a total amount of $972,988.
The CDBG funding (Fund 613) in the amount of $434,865 and HOME funding (Fund 671) in the amount of $148,123 are estimates based on the prior year allocation amounts received from HUD. The City has not received the final FY 2024-25 allocation amounts from HUD, and the final grant awards will be increased or decreased proportionally from the estimated amounts once the final allocation is received.

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ALLOCATION AND APPROPRIATION OF
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, HOME INVESTMENT
PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM, HOUSING IN-LIEU, AND GENERAL FUNDS IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $972,988 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 AND AUTHORIZING
THE EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS REQUIRED TO RECEIVE, USE, AND
DISTRIBUTE FUNDS
Each year, the City of Livermore (“City”) brings together multiple funding sources to support capital projects and public service programs benefiting low-income households. These funding sources include Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (“HOME”) funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), which are leveraged with City resources, including the Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fund and the General Fund.
Both the CDBG and HOME programs have restrictive allocation and reporting requirements. Specifically, CDBG funds may only fund programs that address one of the following national objectives: (1) assisting low-income persons; (2) eliminating slum and blighted property; or (3) meeting needs created by a national emergency. The City must report to HUD annually. Similarly, HOME funds, which are allocated to the City through the Alameda County HOME Consortium, must fund activities that either create or preserve housing opportunities. The City must allocate HOME funds by December 31, 2024, and has up to four years to expend the funds.
The funding appropriations for the FY 2024-25 Housing and Human Services Grant Program will consist of the following amounts from the following sources: (1) an estimated $434,865 in CDBG funds (Fund 613), including $30,000 in unspent CDBG capital funding from previous funding cycles; (2) an estimated $148,123 in HOME funds (Fund 671); (3) $310,000 in Housing In-Lieu funds (Fund 611); and (4) $80,000 in General funds (Fund 001). The amount of available funds for FY 2024-25 is estimated to total $972,988. The City has not received the exact allocation amount of CDBG and HOME funds due to federal budgeting delays. The estimated amounts of federal funds are based on the FY 2023-24 allocations, and grant amounts will be increased or decreased proportionally based on the final allocations of CDBG and HOME funds.
The City has traditionally allocated these funds to eligible public and nonprofit agencies that provide housing and services through its Housing and Human Services Grant Program. For FY 2024-25, the City’s Housing and Human Services Grant Program received 26 applications from 19 agencies requesting $1,576,965 in grant funding. The Human Services Commission evaluated and scored all grant applications and reviewed and approved proposed funding recommendations.
The Human Services Commission and City staff recommend that the City Council approve the Human Services Grant Program funding recommendations for FY 2024-25 as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto. The recommendations include making annual 304
RESOLUTION NO. ________
repayments due on the City’s two Section 108 loan guarantees and allocating funding for 13 activities provided by nine public and nonprofit agencies, including a new Section 108 loan. If approved, these funds, leveraged with other local public and private funding sources, will help these agencies serve over 3,500 low-income, senior, youth, homeless, and disabled residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that it hereby:
1. Authorizes the allocation and appropriation of approximately $972,988 in funding for the purpose of making annual repayments due on the City’s three Section 108 loan guarantees and funding 13 activities provided by nine agencies, as recommended and more particularly set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto, from the following sources in the following amounts:
a. Community Development Block Grant funds (Fund 613) funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in the estimated amount of $434,865, which includes $30,000 in unspent CDBG capital funding from previous funding cycles, for programs, services, and administration;
b. HOME Investment Partnership Program funds (Fund 671) in the estimated amount of $148,123, for administration and programs to provide tenant-based rental assistance;
c. Housing In-Lieu funds (Fund 611) in the amount of $310,000 to provide fair housing services, housing services at the homeless and domestic violence shelters, homeless outreach services, and homeless housing services; and
d. General funds (Fund 001) in the amount of $80,000 to provide public services to residents of Livermore.
2. Authorizes the City Manager, or her designee, to execute all documents related to the receipt, use, and issuance of grant funds, including contracts and amendments thereto, with agencies receiving allocations of funds from the City of Livermore, Alameda County HOME Consortium, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto.
3. Authorizes the City Manager, or her designee, to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution, including proportionally increasing or decreasing CDBG and HOME funds allocated to grant recipients, as outlined in Exhibit A, attached hereto, based on HUD’s final allocations of CDBG and Home funds for FY 2024-25. 305

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.1
DATE:
April 15, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Hearing to modify participation in the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP) to allow for financing of impact fees and public facilities through Community Facilities Districts.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt an amended and restated resolution to modify participation in the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP) to allow for financing of impact fees and public facilities through Community Facilities Districts.
SUMMARY
The Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP) is a program sponsored by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) that provides financing for development infrastructure costs and impact fees to property owners through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds.
CSCDA will impose a special assessment on the owner's property to repay the bond. In order to make this program available for City of Livermore projects, the City must conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution to
expand
the City's participation in the program to include financing of impact fees and public facilities through Community Facilities Districts.
DISCUSSION
CSCDA is a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties. 530 cities, counties, and special districts throughout California are members of CSCDA including the City of Livermore. SCIP was instituted by CSCDA in 2002 to allow owners of property in participating cities and counties to finance the development impact fees that would be payable by property owners upon receiving development entitlements or building permits through a pooled special assessment districts program. SCIP was expanded to include financing of public capital improvements in addition to impact fees and has now been further expanded to include community facilities districts (CFDs), as provided for in the proposed Amended and Restated Resolution. Since its inception SCIP has issued over $1 billion in land secured special assessment and CFD bonds for development projects in California.
315
The City joined SCIP in 2005 for the purpose of participating in the SCIP assessment district financing program. Staff is now recommending the City Council to consider modifications to its original SCIP Resolution (No.2005-012, adopted on January 10, 2005) which will allow for the financing of fees and facilities through the formation of CFDs in addition to the current assessment district program. By adding CFDs, developers can finance a broader range of City fees such as police, fire, library, general city, and the housing in-lieu fee. It will also allow the developer more flexibility in adjusting tax rates by specific product type, assist in forming separate improvement areas when projects need to be phased, and provide for more facilities to be financed similar in type to the fees.
If a property owner chooses to participate and the City approves the application, the selected public capital improvements, facilities, and/or development impact fees owed to the City will be financed by the issuance of tax-exempt bonds by CSCDA. CSCDA will form the district and impose an assessment or special tax, as applicable, on the owner's property to repay the portion of the bonds issued to finance the fees paid with respect to the property (no developer within the SCIP pool is responsible for the payment related to any other project). With respect to impact fees, the property owner will either pay the impact fees at the time of permit issuance and will be reimbursed from the SCIP bond proceeds when the SCIP bonds are issued, or the fees will be funded directly from the proceeds of the SCIP bonds. In both cases, the fees are subject to requisition by the City at any time to make authorized fee expenditures, and the City is never at risk for payment of its fees. If improvements or facilities are contemplated, the proposed Amended and Restated Resolution includes a form of acquisition agreement, which outlines how a developer will be reimbursed for improvements once they are certified complete by the City.
The benefits to the property owner include:
Only property owners who choose to participate in the program will have assessments or special taxes imposed on their property.
Instead of paying cash for public capital improvements and/or development impact fees, the property owner receives low-cost, long-term tax-exempt financing of those fees, freeing up capital for other purposes.
The property owner can choose to pay off the assessments or special taxes at any time.
For home buyers, paying for the costs of public infrastructure through an assessment or special tax is superior to having those costs "rolled" into the cost of the home. Although the tax bill is higher, the amount of the mortgage is smaller, making it easier to qualify. Moreover, because the assessment/special tax financing is at tax-exempt rates, it typically comes at lower cost than mortgage rates.
Owners of smaller projects, both residential and commercial, can have access to tax-exempt financing of infrastructure. Before the inception of SCIP, only projects large enough to justify the formation of an assessment or community facilities district had access to tax-exempt financing.
SCIP can finance projects as low as $500,000, which would not be economical on a stand-alone basis.
The benefits to the City include:
As in conventional assessment district and CFD financing, the City is not liable to repay the bonds issued by CSCDA or the assessments or special taxes, as applicable, imposed on the participating properties.
CSCDA handles all district formation, district administration, bond issuance, and bond administration functions. A participating city, county or special district can provide tax-exempt financing to property owners through SCIP while committing virtually no staff time to administer the 316
program.
Providing tax-exempt financing helps participating cities and counties cushion the impact of rising public capital improvements costs and development impact fees on new development.
The availability of financing will encourage developers to pull permits and pay fees in larger blocks, giving the participating city, county or special district immediate access to revenues for public infrastructure, rather than receiving a trickle of revenues stretched out over time. As part of the entitlement negotiation process, the possibility of tax-exempt financing of fees can be used to encourage a developer to pay fees up front.
The proposed Amended and Restated Resolution authorizes CSCDA to accept applications from owners of property within our planning jurisdiction to apply for tax-exempt financing of public capital improvements and development impact fees through SCIP. It also authorizes CSCDA to form assessment districts and community facilities districts within our City’s boundaries, conduct assessment and special tax proceedings and levy assessments and special taxes against the property of participating owners. The authorization of CSCDA to form assessment districts within the City’s boundaries, conduct assessment proceedings, and levy assessments against the property of participating owners previously approved by this City Council would remain in effect. It approves the form of an acquisition agreement, attached to the Amended and Restated Resolution as Exhibit B, to be entered into between the City and the participating property owner/developer, if applicable, to provide the terms and conditions under which financing for public capital improvements will be provided and to establish the procedure for disbursement of bond proceeds to pay for completed facilities. It also authorizes miscellaneous related actions and makes certain findings and determinations required by law.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Minimal costs associated with the review and approval of SCIP applications by City staff prior to submittal to CSCDA.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore as follows:
Section 1. This Amended and Restated Resolution shall constitute full “local approval,” under Section 9 of the Joint Powers Agreement, and under the Authority’s Local Goals and Policies (defined below), for the Authority to undertake and conduct proceedings in accordance herewith and under the Mello Roos Act to form CFDs with boundaries that shall be coterminous with the City’s official boundaries of record at the time of such proceedings or any portion thereof (the “Proposed Boundaries”), and to authorize a special tax and to issue bonds with respect thereto; provided that the Participating Developers, who shall be the legal owners of such property at the time of formation of the CFD, execute a written consent to the levy of special tax in connection with SCIP by the Authority and execute a ballot in favor of the formation of such CFD and the Mello-Roos Act.
Section 2. The City hereby consents to the conduct of special assessment proceedings by the Authority in connection with SCIP pursuant to the 1913 Act and the issuance of Local Obligations under the 1915 Act on any property within the Proposed Boundaries; provided, that:
(1) Such proceedings are conducted pursuant to one or more Resolutions of Intention in substantially the form of the ROI; and
(2) The Participating Developers, who shall be the legal owners of such property at the time of the formation of the Assessment District, execute a written consent to the levy of assessments in connection with SCIP by the Authority and execute an assessment ballot in favor 321
of such assessment in compliance with the requirements of Section 4 of Article XIIID of the State Constitution.
Section 3. The Joint Powers Agreement, together with the terms and provisions of this Amended and Restated Resolution, shall together constitute a separate joint community facilities agreement between the City and the Authority under the Mello-Roos Act for each CFD formed.
As, without this Amended and Restated Resolution, the Authority has no power to finance City Fees and/or City Improvements (as such terms are defined herein) in proceedings under the Mello- Roos Act to form the CFD, adoption by the Commission of the Authority of each Resolution of Intention to form a CFD under the Mello-Roos Act to finance City Fees and/or City Improvements shall constitute acceptance of the terms hereof by the Authority with respect to such CFD.
Section 4. This Amended and Restated Resolution and the agreement it embodies are determined to be beneficial to the residents/customers of the City and are in the best interests of the residents of the City, and of the future residents of the area within the proposed CFDs and Assessment Districts. The City hereby finds and declares that the issuance of revenue bonds by the Authority to purchase Local Obligations in connection with SCIP will provide significant public benefits, including without limitation, savings in effective interest rate, bond preparation, bond underwriting and bond issuance costs, and the more efficient delivery of local agency services to residential and commercial development within the City.
Section 5. The Authority has adopted Local Goals and Policies as required by Section 53312.7 of the Mello-Roos Act. The City approves the use of those Local Goals and Policies in connection with the formation of CFDs. The City hereby agrees that the Authority may act in lieu of the City under those Local Goals and Policies in forming and administering the CFDs.
Section 6. The Authority has prepared and will update from time to time the “SCIP Manual of Procedures” (the “Manual”), and the City will handle Fee revenues and funds for Improvements for properties participating in SCIP in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Manual.
Section 7. Pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act and this Amended and Restated Resolution, the Authority may conduct proceedings under the Mello-Roos Act to form the CFDs and to have such CFDs authorize the financing of any or all of the facilities and Fees set forth on Exhibit C, attached hereto. All of the facilities, whether to be financed directly or through Fees, shall be facilities that have an expected useful life of five years or longer and are facilities that the City or other local public agencies, as the case may be, are authorized by law to construct, own or operate, or to which they may contribute revenue. Exhibit C may be modified from time to time by written agreement between an authorized representative of the Authority and of the City. The facilities are referred to herein as the “Improvements,” and the Improvements to be owned by the City are referred to as the “City Improvements.” The Fees paid or to be paid to the City are referred to as the “City Fees.”
Section 8. For Fees paid or to be paid to another agency by any particular CFD (an “Other Local Agency”), the Authority will obtain the written consent of that Other Local Agency before issuing Local Obligations to fund such Fees, as required by the Mello-Roos Act.
For the Improvements to be owned by an Other Local Agency, the Authority will separately 322
identify them in its proceedings, and will enter into a joint community facilities agreement with such Other Local Agency prior to issuing Local Obligations to finance such Improvements, as required by the Mello-Roos Act. Each joint community facilities agreement with each Other Local Agency will contain a provision that the Other Local Agency will provide indemnification to the City to the same extent that the City provides indemnification to the Other Local Agency under the terms of this Amended and Restated Resolution.
Section 9. At the time of formation of each CFD, the City will certify to the Commission of the Authority that all of the City Improvements including the improvements to be constructed or acquired with the proceeds of City Fees to be funded by such CFD are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as a result of development occurring or expected to occur within the proposed CFDs in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Any appropriate officer or staff of the City is authorized to execute and deliver such certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, with such changes as such signatory shall approve. Joint community facilities agreements with other local agencies will each contain a requirement that each Other Local Agency will make identical certification in connection with respect to the Improvements to be owned by, and Fees paid or to be paid to, such Other Local Agency equivalent to that made by the City in this paragraph.
Section 10. The Authority will apply the special tax collections initially as required by the documents under which any Local Obligations are issued; and thereafter, to the extent not provided in the Local Obligations documents, may pay its own reasonable administrative costs incurred in the administration of the CFDs. The Authority will remit any special tax revenues from any particular CFD remaining after the final retirement of all related Local Obligations to the City and to the other local agencies in the proportions specified in the Authority’s proceedings.
The City will apply any such special tax revenues it receives for authorized City Improvements or City Fees and its own administrative costs only as permitted by the Mello-Roos Act. The joint community facilities agreements with each Other Local Agency must require the Other Local Agency to apply the special tax revenues they receive for their authorized Improvements and Fees under the CFDs and for their own related administrative costs only as permitted by the Mello-Roos Act.
Section 11. The Authority will administer the CFDs, including employing and paying all consultants, annually levying the special tax and all aspects of paying and administering the Local Obligations, and complying with all State and Federal requirements appertaining to the proceedings, including the requirements of the United States Internal Revenue Code. The City will cooperate fully with the Authority in respect of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to the extent information is required of the City to enable the Authority to perform its disclosure and continuing disclosure obligations with respect to the Local Obligations and any revenue bonds, although the City will not participate in nor be considered to be a participant in the proceedings respecting the CFDs (other than as a party to the agreement embodied by this Amended and Restated Resolution) nor will the City be or be considered to be an issuer of the Local Obligations nor any revenue bonds. The Authority is required to obtain a provision equivalent to this paragraph in all joint community facilities agreements with each Other Local Agency.
323
Section 12. In the event the Authority completes issuance and sale of Local Obligations, and Local Obligation proceeds become available to finance the Improvements, the Authority shall establish and maintain a special fund for each development project (the “Acquisition and Construction Fund”). The portion of Local Obligation proceeds which is intended to be utilized to finance the Improvements and Fees shall be deposited in the Acquisition and Construction Fund.
The Acquisition and Construction Fund will be available both for City Improvements and City Fees and for the Improvements and Fees pertaining to each Other Local Agency. Subaccounts shall be created as necessary.
Section 13. As respects the Authority and each Other Local Agency, the City agrees to fully administer, and to take full governmental responsibility for, the construction or acquisition of the City Improvements and for the administration and expenditure of the City Fees including but not limited to environmental review, approval of plans and specifications, bid requirements, performance and payment bond requirements, insurance requirements, contract and construction administration, staking, inspection, acquisition of necessary property interests in real or personal property, the holding back and administration of retention payments, punch list administration, and the Authority and each Other Local Agency shall have no responsibility in that regard. The City reserves the right, as respects each Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer to contract with the City to assume any portion or all of this responsibility. The Authority is required to obtain provisions equivalent to this paragraph in the joint community facilities agreement with each Other Local Agency.
Section 14. The City agrees to indemnify and to hold the Authority, its other members, and its other members’ officers, agents and employees, and each Other Local Agency and their officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any and all claims, suits and damages (including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of the design, engineering, construction and installation of the City Improvements and the improvements to be financed or acquired with the City Fees. The City reserves the right, as respects each Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer to assume by contract with the City any portion or all of this responsibility. The Authority is required to obtain a provision equivalent to this paragraph in all joint community facilities agreements with each Other Local Agency naming the City and its officers, agents and employees as Indemnified Parties with respect to each Other Local Agency’s respective Improvements and the improvements to be constructed or acquired with each Other Local Agency’s Fees.
Section 15. As respects the Authority and each Other Local Agency, the City agrees – once the City Improvements are constructed according to the approved plans and specifications, and the City and the Participating Developer have put in place their agreed arrangements for the funding of maintenance of the City Improvements – to accept ownership of the City Improvements, to take maintenance responsibility for the City Improvements, and to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph from any and all claims, etc., arising out of the use and maintenance of the City Improvements. The City reserves the right, as respects the Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer by contract with the City to assume any portion or all of this responsibility. The Authority is required to obtain a provision equivalent to this paragraph in all joint community facilities agreements with each Other Local Agency naming the City and its officers, agents and employees as Indemnified Parties. 324
Section 16. The City acknowledges the requirement of the Mello-Roos Act that if the City Improvements are not completed prior to the adoption by the Commission of the Authority of the Resolution of Formation of the CFD for each respective development project, the City Improvements must be constructed as if they had been constructed under the direction and supervision, or under the authority of, the City. The City acknowledges that this means all City Improvements must be constructed under contracts that require the payment of prevailing wages as required by Section 1720 and following of the Labor Code of the State of California. The Authority makes no representation that this requirement is the only applicable legal requirement in this regard. The City reserves the right, as respects the Participating Developer, to assign appropriate responsibility for compliance with this paragraph to the Participating Developer.
Section 17. The form of the Acquisition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B is hereby approved, and the City Manager or such officer’s designee (each, an “Authorized Officer”) is authorized to execute, and deliver to the Participating Developer, the Acquisition Agreement on behalf of the City in substantially that form, with such changes as shall be approved by the Authorized Officer after consultation with the City Attorney and the Authority’s bond counsel, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof.
Section 18. After completion of the City Improvements and appropriate arrangements for the maintenance of the City Improvements, or any discrete portion thereof as provided in Section 53313.51 of the Mello-Roos Act and in the Acquisition Agreement, to the satisfaction of the City, and in conjunction with the City’s acceptance thereof, acquisition of the City Improvements shall be undertaken as provided in the Acquisition Agreement.
Section 19. The City hereby consents to the formation of the CFDs in accordance with this Amended and Restated Resolution and consents to the assumption of jurisdiction by the Authority for the proceedings respecting the CFDs with the understanding that the Authority will hereafter take each and every step required for or suitable for consummation of the proceedings, the levy, collection and enforcement of the special tax, and the issuance, sale, delivery and administration of the Local Obligations, all at no cost to the City and without binding or obligating the City’s general fund or taxing authority.
Section 20. The terms of the Agreement embodied by this Amended and Restated Resolution may be amended by a writing duly authorized, executed and delivered by the City and the Authority, except that no amendment may be made after the issuance of the Local Obligations by the Authority that would be detrimental to the interests of the bondholders without complying with all of the bondholder consent provisions for the amendment of the bond resolutions, bond indentures or like instruments governing the issuance, delivery and administration of all outstanding Local Obligations.
Section 21. Except to the extent of the indemnifications extended to each Other Local Agency in the Agreement embodied by this Amended and Restated Resolution, and the City’s agreement to take responsibility for and ownership of the City Improvements, no person or entity, including the Participating Developer, shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Amended and Restated Resolution, and nothing in this Amended and Restated Resolution (either express or implied) is intended to confer upon any person or entity other than the Authority and 325
the City (and their respective successors and assigns) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Amended and Restated Resolution.
Section 22. The City shall be identified as a third-party beneficiary of all joint community facilities agreements between the Authority and each Other Local Agency to the extent of the indemnification provisions and the provisions whereby each Other Local Agency agrees to take responsibility for and ownership of their Improvements.
Section 23. The appropriate officials and staff of the City are hereby authorized and directed to make SCIP applications available to all property owners who are subject to Fees for new development within the City and/or who are conditioned to install Improvements and to inform such owners of their option to participate in SCIP; provided, that the Authority shall be responsible for providing such applications and related materials at its own expense.

To that end, and pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.150-2, the staff persons listed on Exhibit E, or other staff person acting in the same capacity for the City with respect to SCIP, are hereby authorized and designated to declare the official intent of the City with respect to the public capital improvements to be paid or reimbursed through participation in SCIP.

Agreement shall also apply to any alleged failure to comply with the requirements of this Section, and/or applicable State laws regarding public contracting and prevailing wages.
Section 2.03. Sale of Acquisition Improvements.

At the time of completion of each Acquisition Improvement, or Eligible Portion thereof, the Developer shall deliver to the Local Agency Engineer a written request for acquisition, accompanied by an Actual Cost Certificate, and by executed Title Documents for the transfer of the Acquisition Improvement where necessary. In the event that the Local Agency Engineer finds that the supporting paperwork submitted by the Developer fails to demonstrate the required relationship between the subject Actual Cost and eligible work, the Local Agency Engineer shall advise the Developer that the determination of the Actual Cost (or the ineligible portion thereof) has been disallowed and shall request further documentation from the Developer.

Amounts allocated to an Acquisition Improvement will be further allocated among the Eligible Portions of that Acquisition Improvement, if any, in the same proportion as the amount to be reimbursed for hard costs for each Eligible Portion bears to the amount to be reimbursed for hard costs for the entire Acquisition Improvement. Costs will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement as approved by the Local Agency Engineer. The cos ts of certain environmental mitigation required to mitigate impacts of the public and private portions of the Project will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement as approved by the Local Agency Engineer.
In the event that the Actual Cost is in excess of the Available Amount, the Local Agency shall withdraw the Available Amount from the Acquisition Account and transfer said amount to the Developer. In the event that the Actual Cost is less than the Availab le Amount, the Local Agency shall withdraw an amount from the Acquisition Account equal to the Actual Cost, and shall transfer said amount to the Developer. Any amounts then remaining in the Acquisition Account shall be applied as provided in Section 1.03.
In no event shall the Local Agency be required to pay the Developer more than the amount on deposit in the Acquisition Account at the time such payment is requested.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.2
DATE:
April 15, 2024

SUBJECT:
Hearing to consider a resolution approving the FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan and application for a new Section 108 Guaranteed Loan; authorizing submittal to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development; and authorization execution of associated documents.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Human Services Commission and staff recommend the City Council adopt a resolution:

Authorizing the City Manager, or her designee, to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution, including approving minor changes to the FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan and the Section 108 guaranteed loan application.
SUMMARY
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that all state, county, and local governments receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds complete an Annual Action Plan that identifies federal, state, and local funding resources the City will utilize to meet the priorities established in its Five-Year Consolidated Plan 350
(Consolidated Plan) covering Fiscal Years 2020-2024.
The FY 2024-25 Action Plan includes a new Section 108 guaranteed loan to demolish and rebuild the Tri-Valley Haven for Women Emergency Shelter Project in Livermore in an amount up to $1,200,000. If approved, the total amount of the Section 108 guaranteed loan funds is expected to be made available for FY 2024-25 and will be used to benefit low-and moderate-income persons.
DISCUSSION
FY 2024-25 Action Plan
The Annual Action Plan includes agencies that are recommended to receive CDBG and HOME funds through a public Human Services Commission and City Council process. The agencies selected for funding meet the funding goals and priorities established in the City’s Consolidated Plan, which describes the ways in which CDBG and HOME funds will be leveraged with other local resources.
A needs assessment survey is conducted each year to determine grant priorities for the next grant cycle.
In July 2023, staff emailed a needs assessment survey to the Human Service Interest List which included the local non-profit providers and posted the survey on the City’s website. Additionally, CityServe of the Tri-Valley collected surveys from their clients at the Multi-Service Center, and City staff attended five (5) outreach events to collect surveys and information regarding the needs in the community. The survey was available in English and Spanish. The City received 109 completed surveys.
On September 12, 2023, the Human Services Commission considered the results of the survey and recommended four funding priorities for the next Housing and Human Services Grant cycle. On October 23, 2023, Council approved the four priorities: Housing Services, Homeless Services, Public Health, and Social Safety Net Access.
The Action Plan identifies federal, state, and local resources available to the City of Livermore that will be utilized to meet the priorities established in the Consolidated Plan. Priorities and goals identified in the Action Plan will support a continuum of programs that help low-income, underserved Livermore families achieve a goal of self-sufficiency. Also included in the Action Plan are programs to support a continuum of housing resources to assist low-income renters and homeowners, persons experiencing homelessness and/or persons at risk of homelessness, and to reduce incidents of housing discrimination through education on fair housing laws. The programs funded will also support a wide range of services that assist limited English-speaking persons and special needs populations, including persons with disabilities and seniors.
As a part of the application process, subrecipients of grant funds are required to identify how they will complete quantifiable goals related to creating suitable living environments, decent affordable housing, and/or increasing economic opportunities for low-income persons.
The City has not received its allocation of CDBG and HOME funds for FY 2024-25 due to federal budgeting delays. The amounts in the draft action plan are estimates based on the prior year allocation.
Once the final allocation is received from HUD, the estimated grant amounts will be increased or decreased proportionally, except for the Section 108 loan repayments which are on a fixed schedule.
The City will also utilize $30,000 of unallocated FY 2022-23 CDBG funds in FY 2024-25. The FY 2024- 25 Action Plan includes two capital projects, payment on two Section 108 loans, a new section 108 loan, 351
two public services projects, and administration for the CDBG program as outlined in the chart below:

The FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan has been available for public review for a 30-day public comment period beginning on March 15, 2024, as required by HUD.
Proposed Section 108 Loan Application
The FY 2024-25 Action Plan includes a new Section 108 guaranteed loan to demolish and rebuild the Tri-Valley Haven for Women Emergency Shelter Project in Livermore in an amount up to $1,200,000.
The Section 108 Loan Program provides CDBG entitlement communities with the opportunity to leverage their annual grant allocation to access the low-cost, flexible financing for larger projects that meet the CDBG program national objectives, including those that benefit low and moderate-income persons. The Section 108 guaranteed loan would be repaid over 20 years and allow the City to help Tri-Valley Haven for Women close the funding gap on this project. The total amount of the Section 108 guaranteed loan funds is expected to be made available for FY 2024-25.
Section 108 Project Description
: The proposed project would include demolition of the two existing buildings and three smaller shed structures, and the development of three, one-story buildings, which would serve as the new emergency shelter. Design and entitlement plans have yet to be reviewed however the proposed "Building A" would consist of an approximately 7,563-square-foot (sf) residential building with 14 rooms and a total of 37 beds for tenants. Indoor amenities within Building A would include a kitchen, shared bathrooms, living area, quiet room, laundry room, two indoor playrooms, and a dining area. "Building B" is proposed to be an approximately 3,535-sf residential building with two apartment units. Each apartment would house three to five people for a 45-bed total capacity. "Building C" is proposed to be an approximately 1,392-sf office building or services. Outdoor amenities would include an approximately 5,136-sf outdoor play area located in the northeast corner of the project site, and a 7,563-sf private courtyard located between the three buildings. 352
The total cost of the project is anticipated to be approximately $7,845,000. The demolition and rebuilding of the Emergency Shelter is necessary due to the age and condition of the current buildings which are unsafe for occupation. The shelter residents have been temporarily relocated to a safe location. The expansion of the shelter will increase the shelter capacity by 50 percent, which will assist in meeting the current and future needs of the Tri-Valley. Demolition of the existing buildings is anticipated to begin in June 2024, with construction to start in early Fall 2024, contingent upon the project securing all necessary funding. Construction is targeted for completion by the end of 2025.
In the FY 2023-24 Action Plan, the City of Livermore, City of Pleasanton, and Dublin/Alameda County have committed a total of $774,051 of CDBG funding toward the project. Livermore has already committed $283,846 of CDBG funding for the demolition of the buildings. Tri-Valley Haven has secured an additional $5,050,308 from a variety of other sources, including Alameda County Measure A funds, additional funding from the County of Alameda, private donations, and funding from foundations. Tri- Valley Haven for Women has also requested an additional $500,000 of CDBG funding between the City of Pleasanton and County of Alameda/City of Dublin in FY 2024-25.
The proposed Section 108 guaranteed loan application has been available for public review for a 30-day public comment period beginning on March 15, 2024, as required by HUD. If approved by Council, staff will prepare and submit a final Section 108 loan application to HUD for approval. The final loan application will include additional details to be received from the Tri-Valley Haven on the project budget, final funding sources, loan securities, and project timelines.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Funding for the projects and/or programs identified in the Action Plan will be made available through federal CDBG funding (Fund 613) in the estimated amount of $434,865 and federal HOME funding (Fund 671) in the estimated amount of $148,123 in FY 2024-25. Once the final allocation is received from HUD, the estimated grant amounts will be increased or decreased proportionally, except for the Section 108 loan repayments which are on a fixed schedule. Administrative costs associated with preparation and execution of the FY 2024-25 Action Plan and the environmental review are reimbursed through the City’s CDBG and/or HOME entitlement allocations.
If approved, the City of Livermore would request from HUD a Section 108 guaranteed loan for of up to $1,200,000, less any financing fees associated with the issuance of the loan for the demolition and rebuilding of Tri-Valley Haven for Women Emergency Shelter. The loan financing fee is currently 1.65%, or approximately $19,800, of the maximum loan amount. Section 108 loan proceeds are anticipated to be received and appropriated in FY 2024-25.
The loan would be repaid over 20 years. Staff estimates an annual principal payment obligation to the City's annual CDBG entitlement of approximately $60,000 per year based on the maximum loan amount.
The loan would be subject to a variable floating interest rate, 35 basis points (0.35%) above the 3-Month T-Bill Auction High Rate until such time as HUD conducts a public offering to fix the loan interest rate.
Approximately every two years, HUD conducts a public offering, however HUD expects to conduct a public offering in Fall 2024. At that time, the City can opt in to be included in the public offering, which would convert the variable rate interest rate to a permanent fixed rate financing.

DOCUMENTS
Each year, the City of Livermore (“City”) receives Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") and HOME Partnership Investment ("HOME") funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). The City, through its Housing and Human Services Grant Program, allocates these funds to eligible non- profit and public service organizations that serve low-income residents in the City.
To receive CDBG and HOME funds, the City must submit an Annual Action Plan that identifies the federal, state, and local funding resources the City will utilize to meet the priorities established in the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan also identifies proposed projects and activities the City will undertake utilizing CDBG and HOME funds.
The City’s FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan identifies eight projects it will undertake utilizing CDBG and HOME funds, including two capital projects, two public service projects, repayments on two Section 108 loans, one new Section 108 loan, and administration to support and expand community services, which are more particularly described in Exhibit A to this Resolution. The new Section 108 guaranteed loan is intended to assist with the demolition and rebuild the Tri-Valley Haven for Women Emergency Shelter in an amount up to $1,200,000. A proposed loan application was made available for public review and comment beginning on March 15, 2024, and is attached to this Resolution as Exhibit D. The final loan application will include additional details to be received from Tri-Valley Haven for Women, including details on the project budget, final funding sources, loan securities, and project timelines.
The City has not received its allocation of CDBG and HOME funds for FY 2024- 25 due to federal budgeting delays. Based on historical allocations, staff estimate that the City will receive approximately $404,865 in CDBG and $148,123 in HOME funds for FY 2024-25, and any amounts allocated to the projects proposed in the Annual Action Plan will be increased or decreased proportionally, except for Section 108 loan repayments, which are on a fixed schedule.

AP-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Livermore's Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 Annual Action Plan identifies Federal, State, and local resources the City of Livermore will utilize to meet its goals and priorities related to affordable housing and community development activities as outlined in the FY 2020-2024 Five- Year Consolidated Plan for the Alameda County HOME Consortium, of which the City of Livermore is a member jurisdiction. The Five-year Consolidated Plan and associated Annual Action Plan are the required planning documents completed by entitlement jurisdictions to receive federal funding through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The Annual Action Plan identifies the proposed goals, activities, outcomes, and budget for the new fiscal year and the funding resources allocated to the Housing and Community Development projects to meet its established goals.
In FY 2024-25, the City of Livermore anticipates receiving $404,865 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and $148,123 of federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds through the Alameda County HOME Consortium. As of March 15, 2024, Congress has not finalized the Federal budget. The final grant amounts, excluding the Section 108 loan repayments, will be increased, or decreased proportionally from the estimated amounts once the final FY 2024-25 allocation is received from HUD. The City has $30,000 of unallocated FY 2022-23 CDBG entitlement funds that it will be allocating toward the estimated payments on a new Section 108 Loan for Tri-Valley Haven for Women Emergency Shelter rebuild project.
The FY 2024-25 Action Plan includes funding for a new Section 108 loan to demolish and rebuild Tri-Valley Haven for Women Emergency Shelter Project in Livermore in an amount up to $1,200,000, which includes the Section 108 financing fee of approximately $20,000 for the issuance of the loan. The total amount of the Section 108 loan proceeds is expected to be made available in FY 2024-25, and all the funds will be used to benefit low-and moderate-income persons. No program income is anticipated to be generated by the activities carried out with the loan funds and no displacement of persons will result from the proposed activity.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items, or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

2 Housing. Additionally, as required by HUD, City-funded activities and programs will meet one of the three CDBG national objectives of 1) Benefiting low-and moderate-income (LMI) persons; 2) Assisting in the prevention and/or elimination of slums and blight; and/or 3) Meeting an urgent need.
The FY 2024-25 Livermore Action Plan includes activities to be undertaken by the City of Livermore to implement the Five-Year (FY 2020-24) Consolidated Plan by contributing the following Consolidated Plan goals:
• Provide rental assistance to target populations as well as people economically impacted by a disaster or emergency, such as the COVID 19 pandemic. • Support public service programs for low-income community members, preserving safety net services for families and individuals who are underserved or impacted by a disaster or emergency such as the COVID 19 pandemic.
• Acquire and make improvements, including ADA accessibility and emergency preparedness, to public facilities, such as curbs and sidewalks, neighborhood parks and recreational improvements, homeless facilities, and other public facilities/community centers.
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.
Livermore continues to make progress in supporting and developing a continuum of housing resources and social services that will support low-income and vulnerable community members, despite numerous obstacles. The City's Housing and Human Services Division regularly monitors subrecipient agencies that receive Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) funds.
Staff reviews each agency’s programmatic, fiscal management and performance goals. This information is factored into the Human Service Commission's discussion and evaluation of the agencies’ future request for funding through the annual grant application process. The Commission also uses this information to recommend grant funding to the City Council.
The City's performance relative to its annual objectives can be reviewed in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) that is prepared following the completion of the fiscal year. A draft CAPER is posted for public review to provide an opportunity for public comment on the prior grant cycle’s performance.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.
The Annual Action Plan was developed through a series of community meetings, public hearings and outreach conducted by the City and the Human Services Commission (HSC) and included input from a variety of community members, organizations, and agencies. In Fall 2020, City of Livermore Human Services staff partnered with the Housing Authority, school district, and multiple social services providers to solicit input directly from community members about what social services are most needed. 213 community members participated in this process.

Annual Action Plan
2023
3 Additionally, the City consulted with representatives from the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District, Housing Authority, School District, and numerous nonprofit organizations on pressing social service needs at a September 28, 2020, Provider Forum.
These priority needs were shared both at a Special Meeting of the Livermore Human Services Commission on October 22nd, 2020, as well as at a Public Hearing that was part of the November 23, 2020, Livermore City Council meeting.
On October 15th, 2020, members of the public as well as County mental health agencies and community-based organizations participated in the Livermore City Council Subcommittee on Homelessness’ community meeting on mental health access for people experiencing homelessness. City staff also participated in a March 17th, 2021, convening of local organizations and jurisdictions to discuss rising food insecurity in the East County due to the pandemic.
In addition to the above outreach, under the direction of the Human Services Commission, in September 2021 and September 2022 staff sent out an additional survey to our local nonprofit services providers. The responses to the survey were used to update the annual needs assessment and grant priorities.
In July 2023, staff emailed a needs assessment survey to the Human Service Interest list, which includes the local non-profit providers, and posted the survey on the City’s website.
Additionally, CityServe of the Tri-Valley collected surveys from their clients at the Multi- Service Center, and City staff attended five (5) outreach events to collect surveys and information regarding the needs in the community. The survey was available in English and Spanish. The City received 109 completed surveys.
On September 12, 2023, the Human Services Commission considered the results of the survey and recommended a set of four funding priorities for the FY 2024-25 Housing and Human Services Grant cycle. The four priorities are: Housing, Homeless Services, Public Health, and Social Safety Net Access. The FY 2024-25 Grant Priorities were published for a 30-day public comment period and adopted at a public hearing which was part of the October 23, 2023, Livermore City Council meeting.
The Livermore Human Services Commission then considered what activities to include in the annual Action Plan as part of its grant funding recommendation process at two public meetings on February 13, 2024, and March 12, 2024. A 30-day public review period on the draft FY 2024- 25 Action Plan, and proposed Section 108 loan application for the Tri-Valley Haven for Women’s Emergency Shelter rebuild project, began on March 15, 2024, and ended on April 15, 2024. The City of Livermore's notice of the 30-day review period and the City Council's public hearing date was published in both a local English-language newspaper as well as a Spanish- language newspaper. The City made the draft Action Plan and proposed Section 108 Loan application available for public review on its website and at the Multi Service Center located at 3311 Pacific Avenue. A public hearing to consider Livermore’s FY 2024-25 Action Plan was held at the April 15, 2024, City Council meeting.

1. Introduction
The Five-Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan are based on information developed and compiled from public and nonprofit partner agencies as well as the general public. Built on interagency coordination, consultation, and public participation, both plans focus attention on housing and community development needs and resources available to meet these needs.
Contributing agencies include the Livermore Housing Authority, Livermore Area Recreation and Parks District (LARPD), nonprofit service providers, the Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department, and the Alameda County Continuum of Care.
The HOME Consortium Action Plan was also prepared in consultation with other public and private entities. The HOME Consortium Technical Advisory Committee, composed of staff from all jurisdictions in the HOME Consortium, provides policy input into the Action Plan planning process.
In Fall 2020, City of Livermore Human Services staff partnered with the Housing Authority, school district, and multiple social services providers to solicit input from community members about what social services are most needed. The process involved tabling at service locations and distributing suggestion cards, conducting digital community meetings in English and Spanish, and a survey for community members to vote on social service priorities. 213 community members participated in this process. These priority needs were shared both at a Special Meeting of the Livermore Human Services Commission on October 22, 2020, and presented to City Council at a Public Hearing on November 23, 2020.
In addition to the above outreach, under the direction of the Human Services Commission, in September 2021 and September 2022 staff sent out an additional survey to our local nonprofit services providers. The responses to the survey were used to update the needs assessment and grant priorities.
In July 2023, staff emailed a needs assessment survey to the Human Service Interest list, which includes the local non-profit providers, and posted the survey on the City’s website.
Additionally, CityServe of the Tri-Valley collected surveys from their clients at the Multi- Service Center, and City staff attended five (5) outreach events to collect surveys and information regarding the needs in the community. The FY 2024-25 Grant Priorities were shared at a Livermore Human Services Commission on September 12, 2023, and adopted at a Public Hearing at the October 23, 2023, Livermore City Council meeting.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)).
There are several organizations whose activities are related to the provision of affordable housing and human service programs in the City of Livermore. The City actively works with the numerous affordable housing developers, community based organizations, governmental
EXHIBIT A
363
Annual Action Plan
2023
7 agencies, healthcare institutions, and education providers through funding partnerships and coordination meetings to continually enhance collaboration and identify new partnership opportunities.
Activities to address the housing needs of the homeless, extremely low-income persons with severe mental illness, and those living with HIV/AIDS center on the implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan throughout Alameda County, which is a unique collaboration among community stakeholders, cities, and Alameda County government agencies representing three separate care systems: homeless services, and mental health services that share overlapping client populations. Each of the stakeholders recognize that stable housing is a critical cornerstone to the health and well-being of the homeless and those at-risk of homelessness, and our communities.
In addition, the cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton partnered with Axis Community Health to develop and fund a Mental Health Urgent Care program. Axis Bridge Mental Health Urgent Care program is available to all members of the community, regardless of income or insurance status. Individuals and families with urgent mental health needs are able to call for timely access to immediate services. The Axis Bridge program serves as a central entry point for assessment, triage, treatment, and care coordination for anyone seeking mental health treatment, regardless of insurance type or status. Like a medical urgent care setting, the Center provides an assessment and timely connection to services in a setting that is less costly to operate than an emergency department.
Once a quarter the cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton meet with Senior Service providers in the Tri-Valley to hear updates on their services provided, needs, and any other items that might need to be discussed. This meeting is valuable to be able to coordinate and collaborate with the providers on a consistent basis.
The City works in close coordination with the Housing Authority of the City of Livermore (LHA) to support the utilization of the Section 8 Program and other special-designation voucher programs in Livermore. The City supported LHA’s application to HUD to become a “Move to Work” designated agency. The City and LHA continued to partner with non-profit services providers and the Livermore school district on implementation of a supportive housing program at Leahy Square for families exiting homelessness, funded through the State’s Family Homeless Challenge Grant.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
Coordination with Alameda County departments, local jurisdictions, East County service providers, community groups, and residences provide a broad knowledgebase of housing and social service needs within Livermore. Organizations serving the homeless, including Alameda County Health Office of Homeless Care and Coordination, Alameda County Health Care for the Homeless, EveryOne Home, and local homeless service providers, advise on the needs of people experiencing homelessness.

2023
8 The EveryOne Home collective impact initiative, which also functions as the Alameda County Homeless Continuum of Care, is supported by a community-based backbone organization, and guided by a Leadership Board comprised of jurisdictional appointed members and key community constituencies such as people with lived experience, city representatives, nonprofit service providers and housing developers, businesses, law enforcement, housing authorities, and faith-based organizations.
In 2021, EveryOne Home, with the support of HUD technical assistance from Abt Associates, convened and facilitated a community process aimed at developing a model homeless response system through the framework of racial equity. The process resulted in specific crisis and permanent housing inventory recommendations. Leadership across the Continuum of Care are working together to implement this optimal system design that will effectively address the crisis needs of people experiencing homelessness and their permanent housing needs. Community stakeholders have agreed to use the racially equitable system model to guide strategic funding decisions for existing and new federal, state, and local resources.
The City of Livermore is supportive of the EveryOne Home initiatives to establish equitable system-wide outcomes and to evaluate effectiveness of programs against those outcomes. The key is to allow each City to align the plan with the local strategies to address homelessness. The updated EveryOne Home plan includes pursuing strategies that prevent people from becoming homeless, expand affordable housing, offer critical interventions that ensure the safety and dignity of people living without housing, and urgently reduce homelessness in our most impacted and vulnerable communities.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City of Livermore is not an entitlement jurisdiction for ESG funding.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The Annual Action Plan was developed through a series of community meetings, public hearings and outreach conducted by the City and the Human Services Commission (HSC). It included input from a variety of community members, organizations, agencies, the Livermore Human Services Commission, the Livermore City Council, and other stakeholders.
In Fall 2020, City of Livermore Human Services staff partnered with the Housing Authority, school district, and multiple social services providers to solicit input from community members about what social services are most needed. The process involved tabling at service locations and distributing suggestion cards, conducting digital community meetings in English and Spanish, and a survey for community members to vote on social service priorities. 213 community members participated in this process. These priority needs were shared both at a Special Meeting of the Livermore Human Services Commission on October 22, 2020, and presented to City Council at a Public Hearing on November 23, 2020.
In addition to the above outreach, under the direction of the Human Services Commission, in September 2021 and September 2022 staff sent out an additional survey to our local nonprofit services providers. The responses to the survey were used to update the needs assessment and grant priorities.
In July 2023, staff emailed a needs assessment survey to the Human Service Interest list, which includes the local non-profit providers, and posted the survey on the City’s website. Additionally, CityServe of the Tri-Valley collected surveys from their clients at the Multi-Service Center, and City staff attended five (5) outreach events to collect surveys and information regarding the needs in the community. The FY 2024-25 Grant Priorities were shared at a Livermore Human Services Commission on September 12, 2023, and adopted at a Public Hearing at the October 23, 2023, Livermore City Council meeting.
In February 2024, the Cities of Livermore, Dublin and Pleasanton completed the 2024 Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment. The Needs Assessment included qualitative and quantitative data that anticipates human services needs over the next five (5) to ten (10) years. Over 338 individuals were engaged through nine (9) youth and adult focus groups, which included non- profit agencies, first responders, faith based, and community members. On February 26, 2024, the Livermore City Council accepted the Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment

17 The Livermore Human Services Commission considered what activities to include in the annual Action Plan as part of its grant funding recommendations at two public meetings on February 13,2024, and March 12, 2024, which included opportunities for resident participation.
A public review period on the draft FY 2024-25 Action Plan and proposed Section 108 loan application began on March 15, 2024, and ended on April 15, 2024. The City of Livermore's notice of the 30-day review period and the City Council's public hearing date was noticed in both a local English-language newspaper as well as a Spanish-language newspaper. Alameda County also published notices regarding the HOME Consortium Annual Action Plan document throughout the County. The City made the draft Livermore documents available for public review on its website and at the Multi Service Center located at 3311 Pacific Avenue. A public hearing to consider Livermore's FY 2024-25 Action Plan was held at the City Council's April 15, 2024, meeting.
