A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 24-003, WHICH WOULD MODIFY THE

DEFINITION OF PUBLIC AND QUASI-PUBLIC USE TO INCLUDE EMERGENCY

SHELTERS AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER PUBLIC OR

QUASI-PUBLIC USE
On August 29, 2024, the City initiated a Development Code Amendment to modify the definition of "Public and quasi-public" use to include emergency shelters and supportive housing associated with another public or quasi-public use.

On September 17, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Project and staff recommendations, all public comments and testimony, and findings.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Livermore that prior to taking action on the Project, and at a properly noticed public hearing, the Planning Commission reviewed written and oral staff reports, conducted a public hearing on the Project and took testimony, and received into the record all pertinent documents related to the Project ( collectively, the "Record Evidence"). The Planning Commission's determination is based on the Record Evidence, which is incorporated into this Resolution by reference.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, with respect to Development Code Amendment 24- 003, the Planning Commission finds based upon the information presented that:

1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.

Findings: The changes to the Development Code are consistent with the intent of the City of Livermore General Plan Housing Element, which is to establish specific goals, policies, and objectives relative to the provision of housing for all income levels. The Livermore General Plan states that public and quasi-public uses are typically valued as important to community identity and function and that they are conditionally allowed in all land use designations. The Development Code Amendment would conditionally allow underrepresented, but needed, housing types-emergency shelters and supportive housing-to operate on a permanent basis in association with a variety of public and quasi-public uses. The amendment is consistent with the General Plan, as follows:

Consistency with General Plan Housing Element
The proposed Development Code Amendment is consistent with the following General Plan Housing Element Goal and policy:

1. Ordinance

Prepared by: Debbie Elam
City Clerk

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 2.04.030 COMPENSATION LIMITS FOR

MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THE LIVERMORE MUNICIPAL CODE TO

ADJUST THE MONTHLY COMPENSATION FOR THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL

MEMBERS CONSISTENT WITH MEASURE W
The California Government Code allows cities to enact ordinances compensating mayors and council members for their service. A mayor is a member of the city council, but an ordinance may also provide additional compensation to a separately elected mayor. The compensation ordinances may be enacted by either the city council or the voters.

On November 4, 2014, Livermore voters approved Measure W and established compensation limits in Livermore that are more restrictive than those set forth in the Government Code based upon Livermore’s population. The measure set city council member and mayoral compensation at the amounts in effect at that time. The measure allows the compensation to be increased, but expressly excluded multi-year increases and only authorized a single increase before each new term of office commences. The measure further limited the amount of the increase to the lesser of 5% or the change in CPI.

The monthly compensation for the Mayor and Council Members was last increased in December 2, 2007. The change in CPI since the last term commenced in 2022 is 6.2%.

Therefore, consistent with Measure W, compensation cannot be increased by more than 5%.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Authority. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to the City of Livermore’s police power authority established in section 7, article XI of the California Constitution, California Government Code sections 36516, 36516.1, 36516.5, and Livermore Municipal Code section 2.04.030 as amended by Measure W (2014).

Section 2. Purpose. This ordinance is intended to increase the monthly compensation for the Mayor and Council Members consistent with Measure W, which is more restrictive than the requirements in the California Government Code.

Section 3. Amendment – Municipal Code. The Livermore Municipal Code section 2.04.030 Compensation Limits for Mayor and Council Members is hereby amended to add the following sentence to the end of the existing language in that section:
“The compensation for the mayor shall be $1,564.50 per month and the compensation for each council members shall be $1,123.50 per month and shall apply when the terms commence for the mayor and council members elected at the November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election.”
37 ORDINANCE NO. ________
Section 4. Environmental. The passage of this ordinance is not a project according to the definition in the California Environmental Quality Act and, therefore, is not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.

Section 5. Severability. If any part of this ordinance is declared invalid by a court, such invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining parts.

Section 6. Publication. This ordinance shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation of the City of Livermore within fifteen days after its adoption.

Section 7. Effective date. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its adoption.

Section 8. Compensation Eligibility. The increased compensation shall not apply to the mayor or council members during their term of office when this ordinance is approved. However, since Livermore council members serve staggered terms and because the General Municipal Election on November 5, 2024, will result in the commencement for new terms of office for mayor and for the council members for District 3 and 4, the new compensation amounts approved by this ordinance shall apply to the mayor and all council members following the swearing in and commencement of the new terms as set forth in Government Code section 36516.5

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing the filing of an application for Alameda County Transportation Commission administered funding of $1,725,000, committing necessary matching funds of $575,000, and stating assurances to complete the project for the Arroyo Road Trail Project 2019-55.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

SUMMARY
The City of Livermore (City) has been a recipient of various discretionary local funds administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) via the Comprehensive Investment Plan. ACTC's 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding is available for bicycle and/or pedestrian capital projects which are programmed in the Alameda County 2020 Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP). City Council must also authorize the filing of an application for 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding.

The Arroyo Road Trail Project is identified in the first phase of priority projects in the Livermore Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Active Transportation Plan. This trail is also identified as an important connecting trail segment in the City's South Livermore Valley Specific Plan and will extend the Livermore trail network across unincorporated Alameda County jurisdiction and connect to the existing regional trail within Sycamore Grove Park and will be exclusively used by pedestrians and bicycles.

Staff recommends the City Council authorize the filing of an application for 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding of $1,725,000 for the Arroyo Road Trail Project 2019-55.

DISCUSSION
The Comprehensive Investment Plan is ACTC's near-term strategic planning and programming 39 document. Fund sources administered by ACTC are programmed through a consolidated process to maximize investments in transportation infrastructure and program operations that are essential for enhancing, developing, and maintaining the county’s multi-modal transportation system.

The 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan includes a call for projects utilizing combined ACTC administered discretionary local funding sources, including Measures B and BB(MB/MBB), Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF), and Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) for eligible capital projects and programs within Alameda County.

Eligible project categories include:

Bicycle and/or pedestrian capital projects and programs Complete streets capital and road improvement projects
Transit-related capital projects
Shuttle and other program operations

Eligible projects and programs must be included in the 2020 Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) project list (10-Year Priority, 30-Year Projects, or Programmatic Projects) and meet the required minimum local match. In addition, a resolution of local support is required to be submitted with each 2026 CIP application. Available funding will be prioritized towards eligible projects that can demonstrate construction readiness or begin operations within the first two years of the 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan (FY2025-26 and FY2026-27).

Based on the above requirements, Staff recommends the City Council authorize an application for 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding of $1,725,000 for the Arroyo Road Trail Project 2019-55.

As shown in Attachment 1, the Arroyo Road Trail, Project 2019-55 is an approximately 1.4-mile trail gap closure along Arroyo Road from Wetmore Road to the existing Arroyo Del Valle Regional Trail within Sycamore Grove Park. The project is identified in the first phase of priority projects in Livermore Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Trails Active Transportation Plan. The Livermore Active Transporation Plan is identified in the Countywide Transportation Plan as Project 212.

The project goal is to fill a gap in the Livermore trail network, reduce stress, improve safety, and increase comfort along the Arroyo Road corridor for pedestrians and bicyclists, and provide greater connectivity between Livermore’s neighborhoods, regional trail network, and regional open space areas such as Sycamore Grove and Del Valle Regional Parks. The project is currently at the 65% design phase, and construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in summer 2025.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The Arroyo Road Trail, Project 2019-55 is currently funded in the 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Plan with a total of $2,050,000 in FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25. Funding is from Park Fees (Fund 337), Measure B-Local Street Road (Fund 678), Measure BB-Local Street & Road (Fund 688), and State Grants (Fund 607). The project is also anticipating $436,280 of Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 grant funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. If awarded, this 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding of $1,725,000 will reduce some of the current local funding for the project. $575,000 of the currently allocated local funding will be provided as matching funds. The project budget will be adjusted in the 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Plan to coincide with the timing of 40 actual expenditures and the final grant funding. Some of the funding will be moved to FY 2025-26 to coincide with anticipated construction in summer/fall 2025.

ACTC's 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding is available for bicycle and/or pedestrian capital projects which are programmed in the Alameda County 2020 Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP). City Council must also authorize the filing of an application for 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding.

The 2022 ATP Bike Lane Improvements Project 2021-14 includes adding a buffer to the existing Class 2 bike lane on Concannon Boulevard and installing new Class 2A bike lanes and a new Class 3 bike route/boulevard on Olivina Avenue. These improvements are identified in the first phase of priority projects in Livermore Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Active Transportation Plan. The project will enhance safety for crosstown bicyclists on Concanon Boulevard and expand Livermore downtown access and school access via Olivina Avenue.

Staff recommends the City Council authorize the filing of an application for 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding of $1,650,000 for the 2022 ATP Bike Lane Improvement Project 2021-14.

DISCUSSION
46 The Comprehensive Investment Plan is ACTC's near-term strategic planning and programming document. Fund sources administered by ACTC are programmed through a consolidated process to maximize investments in transportation infrastructure and program operations that are essential for enhancing, developing, and maintaining the county’s multi-modal transportation system.

As ACTC develops the 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan, they are calling for projects utilizing combined ACTC-administered discretionary local funding sources, including Measures B and BB(MB/MBB), Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF), and Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) for eligible capital projects and programs within Alameda County.

Eligible project categories include:

Bicycle and/or pedestrian capital projects and programs Complete streets capital and road improvement projects
Transit-related capital projects
Shuttle and other program operations

Eligible projects and programs must be included in the 2020 Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) project list (10-Year Priority, 30-Year Projects, or Programmatic Projects) and meet the required minimum match. In addition, a resolution of local support is required to be submitted with each 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan application. Available funding will be prioritized towards eligible projects that can demonstrate construction readiness or begin operations within the first two years of the 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan (FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27).

Based on the above requirements, Staff recommends the City Council authorize an application for 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding of $1,650,000 for the 2022 ATP Bike Lane Improvements Project 2021-14.

As shown in Attachment 1, the 2022 ATP Bike Lane Improvements Project 2021-14 includes adding a buffer to the existing class 2 bike lane on Concannon Boulevard between Isabel Avenue and San Vicente Drive. The project also includes new bike lanes on Olivina Avenue: class 2A bike lanes between Tanager Road and Murrieta Boulevard and a class 3 bike route/boulevard between Murrieta Boulevard and P Street. The projects are identified in the first phase of priority projects in Livermore Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Trails Active Transportation Plan. The Livermore Active Transportation Plan is identified in the Countywide Transportation Plan as Project 212.

The project goal is to fill a gap in the Livermore bike lane downtown access and school access network, reduce stress, improve safety, and increase comfort for bicyclists accessing downtown, school and crossing the city. The project is anticipated to start design in fall 2025, and construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in summer 2026.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The 2022 ATP Bike Lane Improvements Project 2021-14 is currently funded in the 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Plan with a total of $1,435,000 in FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26. Funding is from Measure B-Bike & Pedestrian (Fund 677), Measure BB-Bike & Pedestrian (Fund 687), and Measure BB-Local Street & Road (Fund 688). If awarded, this 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding of $1,650,000 will reduce some of the current local funding for the project. $550,000 of the currently allocated local 47 funding will be provided as matching funding. The project budget will be adjusted in the 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Plan to coincide with the timing of actual expenditures and any final grant funding.

Some of the funding will be moved to FY 2026-27 to coincide with anticipated construction in summer 2026.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

SUMMARY
The City of Livermore (City) has been a recipient of various discretionary local funding administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) via their Comprehensive Investment Plan. The ACTC's 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding is available for bicycle and/or pedestrian capital projects which are programmed in the Alameda County 2020 Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP). To be eligible for funding, City Council must authorize the filing of an application for 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding.

The Stanley Boulevard at Isabel Ave Connector Ramp Crossing Improvements Project is identified as a high intensity crossing improvement project in the Livermore Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Active Transportation Plan. The project will enhance trail crossing safety at the intersection, which connects to the existing Iron Horse Trail and Isabel Trail.

Staff recommends the City Council authorize the filing of an application for 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding of $825,000 for the Stanley Boulevard at Isabel Ave Connector Ramp Crossing Improvements Project 2021-33.

Based on the above requirements, Staff recommends the City Council authorize an application for 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding of $825,000 for the Stanley Boulevard at Isabel Ave Connector Ramp Crossing Improvements Project 2021-33.

The Stanley Boulevard at Isabel Ave Connector Ramp Crossing Improvements Project 2021-33 was initiated following a fatality between a crossing bicyclist and a turning truck at this intersection. The project scope includes implementing curb extensions, pavement markings, signage, and pedestrian ramps, and bicycle signals to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety at the intersection. The project is identified as a High Intensity Crossing Improvement project in the Livermore Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Trails Active Transportation Plan. The Livermore Active Transportation Plan is identified in the Countywide Transportation Plan as Project 212. The project location is included in Attachment 1.

The project goal is to enhance crossing safety at the intersection, which connects the existing Iron Horse Trail and Isabel Trail. The project has a currently completed design and is starting the Caltrans encroachment permit process. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in summer 2025.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The Stanley Boulevard at Isabel Ave Connector Ramp Crossing Improvements Project 2021-33 is currently identified in the 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Plan with a total funding of $900,000 in FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26. Funding is SB1-Gas Tax (Fund 651) and Measure BB-Local Street & Road (Fund 688). If awarded, this 2026 Comprehensive Investment Plan funding of $825,000 will reduce some of the current local funding for the project. $275,000 of the currently allocated local funding will be provided as matching funds. The project budget will be adjusted in the 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Plan to coincide with the timing of actual expenditures and final grant funding. Some of the funding will be moved forward to FY 2025-26 to coincide with anticipated construction in summer 2026. 54 COMMUNITY PILLAR

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Annual update of Affordable For-Sale Prices, Rental Rates, and Maximum Income Limits for the City's Affordable Housing Programs

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution:
1 .

SUMMARY
The City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance states that the City Council shall annually adopt maximum income limits for use in determining eligibility in the City’s affordable housing programs. These limits are based on data published annually by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Updated income limits are used to compute adjustments to the City’s Affordable Homeownership Program Sales Prices and City-restricted unit rents. Staff recommends the City Council adopt the proposed updated income limits for the City’s affordable housing programs and adopt updated Affordable Homeownership Program sales prices and rent limits.

DISCUSSION
Each year, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (State HCD) provides a schedule of income limits by household size from data published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that is used to determine eligibility for most State and Federal housing programs. The City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance references the State HCD’s numbers as the basis for qualifying participant eligibility and calculating sales prices and rent limits for extremely low-, very low- , low-, median- and moderate-income households applying to the City’s Affordable Homeownership and 60 Rental Programs (Inclusionary Housing) and the Density Bonus Program. Adoption of the State HCD’s limits ensures consistent requirements across all the City’s programs and the requirements of other public lenders. State HCD establishes their income limits based on median income data calculated and provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), adjusted by household size.

The current (2024) HUD Area Median Income (AMI) for a four-person household in Alameda County is $155,700; this is approximately a five percent (5%) increase over the previous year. Maximum income categories are defined by HUD as percentages of median income as follows:

“extremely low-income” households are defined as those with incomes up to thirty percent (30%) of the AMI;
“very low-income” households are defined as those with incomes up to fifty percent (50%) of the AMI;
“low-income” households are defined as those with incomes up to eighty percent (80%) of the AMI; “median-income” households defined as those with incomes up to one hundred percent (100%) of the AMI; and,
“moderate-income households” are defined as those with incomes up to one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the AMI.

It is important to note that the calculation of maximum income as a percentage of the median is not exact, and HUD adjusts each income category by high-cost factors and family size. In addition, the State has adopted a “hold-harmless” policy that prevents income levels in any category from decreasing from the prior year, should HUD’s formula result in a decrease. This is done to ensure that an unexpected drop in rental income does not jeopardize the financial feasibility of an affordable rental unit.

Through the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, new residential developments are required to reserve a portion (ranging from ten to fifteen percent [10-15%] depending on the area of the City) for lease or sale to very low- to moderate-income households. Historically most of the households benefitting from this program have either lived or worked in the City of Livermore. Developers of for-sale projects are required to offer the homes at affordable sales prices determined annually by the City and to participate in a marketing and application process guided by the City. The City’s affordable home sale prices are calculated using a commonly adopted standard, consistent with other jurisdictions and state housing agencies, such that a household should spend no more than thirty percent (30%) of its gross monthly income on housing costs. For homeownership, these costs include mortgage principal and interest payments, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and homeowner association fees. Incomes have increased modestly across all categories. The median home price in Livermore increased approximately five percent (5.17%) from October 2023 to October 2024. The high mortgage interest rates and high home prices have limited the buying power of low- and moderate-income households.

The average interest rate for CalHFA first-time homebuyer mortgage loan products fluctuated throughout the year, averaging 6.625 percent (6.625%). At the time of this report the interest rate for CalHFA conventional mortgage loans stands at 6 percent (6%). This rate is used to calculate City's affordable home sale prices. As a result, the new affordable sale prices reflect an average increase of thirteen percent (13%) compared to current prices which are attached as Attachment 1 for reference. If approved, these updated prices will take effect on January 1, 2025 and apply to homes sold under the 2025 Affordable Homeownership Program.

61 Similarly, the City’s affordable rental rates follow the standard that tenants should pay no more than thirty percent (30%) of their monthly household income for rent and utilities. Developers with affordability restrictions are instructed to deduct tenant utility allowances as appropriate based on project amenities and unit size. A schedule of these allowances is adopted by the Livermore Housing Authority for its HUD-funded programs. Utility allowances are not included in the maximum rents. The affordable rents would go into effect upon approval by City Council.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

Adjustments to the Affordable Sales Prices and Rental Rates schedule have no fiscal impact to City General Fund revenues.

COMMUNITY PILLAR

ITEM NO. 5.8

DATE:

TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing a supplemental appropriation of unspent carry-forward budget totaling $283,846 from the Community Development Block Grant Fund, for the Emergency Shelter Rebuild Project.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

SUMMARY
On March 11, 2024, Resolution No. 2024-034 authorized $283,846 in Community Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Tri-Valley Haven for Women's ("Tri-Valley Haven") Emergency Shelter Rebuild Project ("Project") in FY 2023-24 for demolition and construction. Due to the complexity of the Project, the coordination of CDBG funding from multiple jurisdictions, and a delayed environmental clearance from HUD, the Project did not commence in FY 2023-24. Rather, the necessary demolition was completed in August 2024 and construction is expected to begin in Spring 2025. A supplemental appropriation totaling $283,846 of unspent funds from the FY 2023-24 CDBG (Fund 224) into the FY 2024-25 budget is needed to pay for the project costs. If approved, the City budget will be updated however this will not increase the amount of funding previously allocated to the project by City Council.

DISCUSSION
Tri-Valley Haven requested CDBG grant funding to demolish and rebuild their emergency shelter located in Livermore. The shelter rebuild is necessary due to the age and condition of the current buildings which are unsafe for shelter residents and staff. The Project will also expand the shelter from 30 beds to 45 beds which will allow Tri-Valley Haven to better serve the current needs in the Tri-Valley.

On March 11, 2024, City Council Resolution No. 2024-034 authorized $283,846 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for the Project to be expended in fiscal year 2023-24, which 67 ended June 30th. Due to the complexity of the Project, the start of the project was delayed until August 2024. The demolition of the buildings was completed in August 2024, and construction is expected to begin in Spring 2025.

As a result of the delays to the Project timeline, a supplemental appropriation of carry-forward budget totaling $283,846 from the CDBG Fund 224 FY 2023-24 budget to the FY 2024-25 budget is required.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

As of the close of FY 2023-24, the City has not spent any of the $283,846 budgeted in FY 2023-24 from the CDBG Fund 224. The Project did not start until August 2024, and, as a result, a supplemental appropriation totaling the amount of unspent funds from the FY 2023-24 CDBG Fund ($283,846) into the FY 2024-25 budget is required to pay for the cost of the project. No additional funds beyond the contract amount would be awarded through this action.

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION OF UNSPENT CARRY-FORWARD BUDGET TOTALING $283,846 FROM THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUND 224 FOR THE EMERGENCY SHELTER

REBUILD PROJECT
Each year, the City of Livermore (“City”) receives Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) 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.

On March 11, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-034 which authorized $283,846 in CDBG funding for the Tri-Valley Haven for Women (“Tri-Valley Haven”) Emergency Shelter Rebuild Project (“Project”) for FY 2023-24. The Project involves demolishing and rebuilding Tri-Valley Haven’s emergency shelter at a confidential location in the City of Livermore, which is necessary due to the age and condition of the current buildings.

The Project will also expand shelter capacity from 30 beds to 45 beds which will allow Tri- Valley Haven to better serve the community.

Due to the complexity of the Project and the environmental review process, the Project did not commence in FY 2023-24. Rather, the necessary demolition was completed in August 2024, and construction is expected to begin in Spring 2025. As a result, a supplemental appropriation of unspent carry-forward budget totaling $283,846 from the CDBG Fund 224 FY 2023-24 budget to the FY 2024-25 budget is required.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that it authorizes a supplemental appropriation of $283,846 from the Community Development Block Grant Fund 224 FY 2023-24 budget to the FY 2024-25 budget for the Tri- Valley Haven for Women Emergency Shelter Rebuild Project.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brandon Cardwell, Innovation and Economic Development Director SUBJECT:

Resolution approving allocation of the Tourism and Special Event Grant monies for July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025, and authorizing the execution of grant agreements consistent with the City's Tourism and Special Events Grant Program.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

SUMMARY
The purpose of the annual Tourism and Special Event Grant program is to provide financial assistance to organizations that promote Livermore as a destination and generate tourism that benefits the local and regional economy, including local merchants and the local wine industry. The application period for the 2024-25 Tourism and Special Event Grant Program is on a rolling basis. Grant requests must be for an event to occur between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. Funding is recommended for the following six applicants as indicated below.

The City's approved operating budget in Fund 5001 for FY 2024-25, includes $12,000 for the Tourism and Special Event Grant Program. The current program will be discontinued next fiscal year, with funds allocated to better align with economic development goals.

DISCUSSION
The Tourism and Special Event Grant Program is allocated $12,000 from the General Fund to support organizations that directly benefit downtown businesses, local wineries, or promote Livermore as a destination. The purpose of the program is to provide financial support for activities associated with promoting Livermore's downtown, the wine country, and events that:
70 promote Livermore as a destination
produce an economic benefit to Livermore and the region; and generate tourism in Livermore

Qualifying events must meet one or more of the above program goals. Funds are to be paid out to selected grant awardees after the event has taken place and receipts for eligible expenses are submitted to the City. The amount to be paid to each organization will not exceed the $2,000 grant amount and will not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the eligible costs of organizing the event.

The availability of funds for FY 2024-25 Tourism and Special Event Grant Program was announced and the press release and posting on the City website and social media was made beginning in June 2024.

The City's Grant Agreement process included entering into a grant agreement with the City; registering and having an active City of Livermore business license; and submitting documentation that awardees carry insurance that meets the City's requirements for events. Staff reviewed and found six (6) eligible applications that demonstrated consistency with the program and policy criteria. Staff therefore recommends the grant of $2,000 each be awarded to the following six eligible applicants:

Upon City Council approval, payment of the grant will be made once all grant requirements are met by the applicant(s).

With competition for funding for multiple initiatives and more than 60+ special events already taking place with minimal financial support from the City, staff plans to discontinue the current Tourism and Special Events Grant Program for the next cycle and allocate funds to better achieve economic development goals.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The adopted FY 2024-25 General Fund budget includes $12,000 for the Tourism and Special Event Grant Program. No additional fiscal or administrative impacts are anticipated.

Brand Guidelines City of Livermore

INTRODUCTION
As a unique community amongst over 400 California cities, the brand for the City of Livermore is critical—it builds recognition and trust, and it’s a reflection of our spirit. Livermore has a rich history and a dynamic future—we honor both past and future by putting forth a consistent, engaging appearance for our communications and media. We are stewards of the Livermore brand. To make our communications strategy effective, we need our materials to express Livermore’s core values:

RICH HISTORY ROOTED

IN WESTERN HERITAGE

CONNECTION TO

THE LAND THROUGH

VITICULTURE AND OPEN

SPACE PRESERVATION

EDUCATED AND

FORWARD-THINKING

COMMUNITY

EXEMPLIFIED BY SCIENCE

AND TECHNOLOGY

SHARING OF THE

HUMAN SPIRIT

THROUGH ARTS AND

CULTURE
By communicating these values clearly and consistently, Livermore will benefit from a unique identity that resonates with residents, businesses, neighbors and visitors from near and far.

BRAND INTEGRITY
The way we communicate through visual, digital and
written communications helps strengthen our connection
with residents as well as the wider world. These Brand
Guidelines are an important tool to ensure that a
consistent tone, look and feel are conveyed. Ultimately, this means that the City’s messaging will be more effective.

Ultimat
ely, it is people that maintain
and protect the City’s brand, so
please join in the effort to uphold
these guidelines. With everything the
City of Livermore has to offer, each
day is another chance to share that
“There’s More Here.”

SUB-BRANDING
Sub-branding is the creation of visuals and materials that are unique to a given department, event or initiative, not fully reflecting the overall City brand appearance. For instance, the Livermore Police Department sub-brand.

Sub-branding must be in alignment with the City’s overall brand. Such sub-branding may be requested for projects, events, committees or other special uses. Contact the
Public Information Officer for any requests or questions regarding sub-branding.

If you have any questions, please
reach out to the Public Information
Officer by contacting the City:

LOGO USAGE
Standard Version
The logo is comprised
of these four parts.

The logo is comprised of four parts: the capital letters “CITY OF”, “LIVERMORE”, “CALIFORNIA” and a graphic grape leaf. The type is a customized combination of display caps and ITC Legacy Sans Serif fonts; the blue color telegraphs stability, trust and accessibility. The stylized leaf, illustrated in an earthy olive green, symbolizes the growth and vitality that lives throughout the City. The logo is incomplete if any of these elements are deleted.

Other Logo Configurations
There are cases in which other configurations are permitted. Specific guidance is provided later in these Guidelines.

* Limited-use logos are for specific audiences or design considerations. The Public Information Officer (PIO) can advise. ** Department/division logos are available through the PIO. New logos should not be generated without approval.

Logo Coloring
The logo colors are periwinkle blue
and olive green. The logo should be
used in color whenever possible. Never
alter colors or tints of the logo.

The medium for reproducing the logo
(print vs. digital) determines which
colors are specified. The printing
process uses Pantone inks or 4-color
process inks. Digital/web colors are
based on RGB colors. The colors are
shown to the right.

The color logo should be featured
on a white background whenever
possible to promote readability. This
uncluttered look contributes to the
specialness of the logo.

BACKGROUND CONTRAST
Contrast is an important part of visual accessibility. Depending on the background, a solid black logo or solid white logo is sometimes necessary. For dark backgrounds, use a white logo. For light backgrounds in which the blue/green logo does not have enough contrast, use a black logo. Consider avoiding complicated background photos. If necessary, underlay the logo with opaque box to increase contrast. When in doubt, err on the side of increasing contrast.

Low Contrast Contrast
Pro tip: for non-decorative elements, like text or information, foreground color should be roughly 4.5X brighter or darker than the background color to satisfy industry minimum WCAG AA recommendation. 7X brighter satisfies full AAA recommendation. Smaller text requires more contrast. There are numerous online tools to assist in measuring contrast.

Brand Guidelines City of Livermore
Logo Integrity
Maintain the type font, size and spacing between the logo elements: text, icon and tagline. These elements should not be recolored or repositioned in any way other than specified in this guide.

MINIMUM SIZE
Size matters and using the logo too
small compromises its integrity.

Note the minimum width shown here
for using the logos and icons at their
smallest permissible sizes.
1-1/2in 3/8in

PROTECTIVE AREA AROUND THE LOGO
A generous protective space around the logo is an
essential element of the logo’s design and success.

Never place another logo, type or graphic element
in this clearspace. Do not place the logo on any
complicated or photographic background.

The protective clearspace around the logo is
determined by the height of the capital letter
“L” as noted with an “x.” This clearspace is
required for all logo versions.

VERTICALLY CENTERING THE LOGO
Note that the high visual “center of gravity”
for the non-tagline logo. For cases where
the non-tagline logo is vertically centered in
space, note that the center line should fall in
the vertical middle of the “LIVERMORE” text.

Same holds true for all logos.

Vertically center on “Livermore” text.

Alternate Logo Configurations
TAGLINE Includes “There’s More Here” marketing text.

The tagline acts as a marketing message and should be used discriminately when that message is relevant. This language reflects the opportunity for discovery and potential that awaits those unaware of or misguided in their impression of exploring the City.

FOR CONSISTENCY, THE TAGLINE SHOULD NEVER BE CHANGED TO A DIFFERENT MESSAGE.

ARCHED
For very limited uses, an arched version is possible,
but not encouraged. Please contact the Public
Information Officer for permission.

DEPARTMENTS
A customized logo is available for use by departments/divisions. Please contact the Public Information Officer for permission or to be provided a special departmental logo.

NEW DEPARTMENT LOGOS TO BE CREATED ONLY WITH PIO PERMISSION.

ICON OPTIONS Can be used decoratively, or as a stand-alone icon, and can use any brand coloring.

ICONS CAN BE USED IN ADDITION TO, NOT INSTEAD OF, AN ACTUAL LIVERMORE LOGO.

STANDARD
Used for standard Livermore branding.

Unless there is a specific reason to use an alternate
configuration, it’s best to use standard logo. Certain
designs may work better with the stacked logo.

CASUAL
“City of” text not included.

Used in special cases where a casual tone is
permitted, or where a simpler logo is necessary.

Also exists on some older materials.

TYPOGRAPHY
Brand Fonts
MOST COMMONLY USED FOR PROFESSIONAL PRINTING. The City uses two fonts: Goudy, a serif font, and the ITC Legacy Sans sans-serif font family. These fonts support the overall identity and should be used whenever possible. Goudy is good for headers and special text sections, not for body text; do not use an italicized or bolded version. ITC Legacy Sans offers several weights, good for overall usage. Both font families may be used on the same piece of communication.

COLOR
The primary Blue and Green signify the City’s brand. They are the dominant colors and should be used in everything that represents the City. The secondary color palette provides the ancillary coloring that all together create the City’s identifiable look and feel. The secondary colors are used in addition to the primary Blue and Green, not instead of them.

The grays and neutrals identified here provide additional design flexibility. Extra colors are provided to use sparingly, when the existing brand colors simply aren’t enough (e.g. as an accent when a strong highlight is needed, or when a whole spectrum is required).

October’s significance as Filipino American History Month is due to the first recorded presence of Filipinos in the continental United States when on October 18, 1587, “Luzones Indios” came ashore from the Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Esparanza and landed at what is now Morro Bay, California. In November of 2009, both the United States House of Representatives and Senate passed laws – House Resolution 780 and Senate Resolution 298 respectively, officially recognizing October as Filipino American History Month in the United States. Livermore Fil-Am will honor Filipino American History Month with the ninth annual Filipino Barrio Fiesta – a free, family-friendly community event featuring dance, music, food, art, and history. This event is FREE and open to the public.

Filipino Barrio Fiesta places Livermore on the map in regards to Bay Area events celebrating Filipino American History Month. It is the premiere cultural event in the Tri- Valley and the only one of its kind. Attendance has skyrocketed in recent years with many looking forward to spending the day in Downtown Livermore celebrating cultural food, games, history, entertainment, education, vendors and activities. This event brings thousands from all over California to Downtown Livermore and the lead up to Filipino Barrio Fiesta creates visibility for Livermore as a cultural hub and center.

What makes your event unique?
Filipino Barrio Fiesta is the only one of its kind not only in Livermore, but the entire East Bay. It is the premiere celebration of culture in the Tri-Valley featuring performances, vendors, food, and local plus regional history. There is a breakdancing competition, open dj activity, car show, and after party along with the day's main stage event. It is a celebration of Filipino American (and all) culture like no other in the East Bay, right here in Downtown Livermore.

The Tri-Valley’s own opera company, Livermore Valley Opera (LVOpera), opens its thrilling 33rd season with Gaetano Donizetti’s The Daughter of the Regiment (La Fille du Regiment), sung in French with English supertitles.

One of Donizetti’s three most popular comic operas, The Daughter of the Regiment is replete with memorable arias, including the one that crowned Luciano Pavarotti as “King of the High C’s.” The Daughter of the Regiment emerges as one of Donizetti’s most beloved works, offering an engaging mix of romantic comedy that is sure to deliver sheer entertainment perfect for the entire family. Erie Mills, LVOpera’s Artistic Director, notes “The opera has some of the most wonderful music by Donizetti; it's charming and funny, and it has a very happy ending. The audience will smile through the entire opera. It's fun for all ages!” Returning Stage Director Marc Jacobs leads a stellar cast and all performances will be expertly accompanied by the LVOpera orchestra, conducted by Music Director, Alexander Katsman. Featured artists include Bay Area native, French American soprano Véronique Filloux, who will be returning to the LVOpera stage as Marie, Tenor Chris Mosz, will make his LVOpera debut playing Marie’s ardent lover Tonio, Beloved Romanian baritone Eugene Brancoveanu, returns to the LVOpera stage playing the role of Sulpice. Lisa Chavez, will make her LVOpera debut in the role of the Marquise of BerkenfieldAdds Mills, “Donizetti’s masterpiece is overflowing with charm and humor. (This production) holds a special place in the hearts of opera lovers worldwide.

Logo Integrity
Maintain the type font, size and spacing between the logo elements: text, icon and tagline. These elements should not be recolored or repositioned in any way other than specified in this guide.

PROTECTIVE AREA AROUND THE LOGO
A generous protective space around the logo is an
essential element of the logo’s design and success.

Never place another logo, type or graphic element
in this clearspace. Do not place the logo on any
complicated or photographic background.

The protective clearspace around the logo is
determined by the height of the capital letter
“L” as noted with an “x.” This clearspace is
required for all logo versions.

Same holds true for all logos.

Vertically center on “Livermore” text.

Logo Coloring
The logo colors are periwinkle blue
and olive green. The logo should be
used in color whenever possible. Never
alter colors or tints of the logo.

The color logo should be featured
on a white background whenever
possible to promote readability. This
uncluttered look contributes to the

Logo Integrity
Maintain the type font, size and spacing between the logo elements: text, icon and tagline. These elements should not be recolored or repositioned in any way other than specified in this guide.

MINIMUM SIZE
Size matters and using the logo too
small compromises its integrity.

Note the minimum width shown here
for using the logos and icons at their
smallest permissible sizes.
1-1/2in 3/8in

PROTECTIVE AREA AROUND THE LOGO
A generous protective space around the logo is an
essential element of the logo’s design and success.

Never place another logo, type or graphic element
in this clearspace. Do not place the logo on any
complicated or photographic background.

The protective clearspace around the logo is
determined by the height of the capital letter
“L” as noted with an “x.” This clearspace is
required for all logo versions.

Same holds true for all logos.

Vertically center on “Livermore” text.

On November 22, 2021, the City of Livermore City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-198 establishing the Livermore Valley Wine Heritage District (LVWHD). The LVWHD was approved for a five- year term beginning July 1, 2021, and ending on June 30, 2026. At the end of each year of operation, the LVWHD Management District Plan and California Streets & Highways Code section 36650 require the LVWHD to prepare annual reports (except for the first year) of the district's assessments, operations, activities, and expenditures for each fiscal year. The 2023-2024 annual report is the LVWHD's third annual report and was prepared and presented as set forth in the statute. Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution accepting the annual report (Attached as Exhibit A to the resolution).

DISCUSSION
On November 22, 2021, the City of Livermore City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-198 (Resolution) establishing the Livermore Valley Wine Heritage District (LVWHD) pursuant to the LVWHD Management District Plan. The LVWHD was approved for a five-year term beginning July 1, 2021, and ending June 30, 2026. The LVWHD Management District Plan explains that even though the 5-year term commences on July 1, 2021, the assessment collection would not begin until January 1, 2022.

The LVWHD is an assessment district which includes all wineries within the boundaries of the map shown in Exhibit B of Council Resolution 2021-198. The purpose of the district is to provide specific benefits to payors by funding marketing and sales promotion and protection efforts, which directly benefit the assessed wineries in the district. Assessment revenue shall be used for the following activities, as identified in the Management District Plan (MDP): Marketing and Brand Awareness, Community and 231
Industry Advocacy, Quality Enhancement and Education, and Professional Development & Education.

Assessment revenue may not be used for activities that directly benefit wineries outside the LVWHD, provide for improvements outside the LVWHD, or for any other purpose not specified in the Resolution or the MDP.

Since January 1, 2022, each winery located within the LVWHD reported their gross sales revenue on a quarterly basis in accordance with the provisions of the LVWHD MDP. The assessment rate is two percent of gross sales revenues on direct-to-consumer winery sales. The collection of the assessments was made by the City's consultant Hinderliter De Llamas & Associates (HDL). The LVWHD's total annual revenue was $123,640 for FY 2021-22, $567,620 for FY 2022-23, and $567,830 for FY 2023-24.

Collections for FY 2021-22 represent only a partial year, while succeeding reports cover the full fiscal year.

At the end of each year of operation, except for the first year, the LVWHD MDP and California Streets and Highways Code Section 36650 requires the LVWHD to prepare annual reports of the district's assessments, operations, activities, and expenditure for each fiscal year.

As the Owner's Association for the district, the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association must provide an annual report on activities and expenditures to the City Council. The report shall include the following:

Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of businesses within the district
The improvements and activities to be provided for that fiscal year An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year The method and basis for levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each business owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for that fiscal year
The estimated amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year
The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than the assessments levied

In addition to the above listed items required by the statute, the Livermore Valley Wine Heritage District 2023-24 Annual Report (Exhibit A to the resolution) also includes information on actual revenues received and how that revenue was used. Like the previous reports, the current report offers a retrospective view and prospective outlook, as well as an account of the operations of the LVWHD in fiscal year 2023-24.

The City Council receives the LVWHD annual report as part of the City's role as the Lead Agency for the LVWHD, and the Council may approve the report as filed by the Owner's Association or may modify any particular element contained in the report and approve it as modified.

Staff finds that the improvements and activities stated in the annual report are consistent with the provisions of the LVWHD Management District Plan. Staff recommends the City Council accept the annual report.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The City of Livermore receives a fee equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of the assessment 232
collected to cover the cost of collection and administration. The fee is used to cover administrative costs, including the cost of engaging HDL.

On November 22, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-198, establishing the Livermore Valley Wine Heritage District (LVWHD) pursuant to the LVWHD Management District Plan. The LVWHD was approved for a five-year term beginning July 1, 2021, and ending on June 30, 2026.

At the end of each year of operation, the LVWHD Management District Plan and California Streets & Highways Code section 36650 require the LVWHD to prepare annual reports (except for the first year) of the district’s assessments, operations, activities, and expenditures for each fiscal year. The attached Exhibit A Livermore Valley Wine Heritage District 2023-2024 Annual Report is the LVWHD’s third annual report. It was prepared and presented as set forth in the statute.

Background
On November 22, 2021, the Livermore City Council approved the establishment of the Livermore Valley Wine Heritage District (LVWHD) and adopted the LVWHD Management District Plan (MDP) by City Council Resolution No. 2021-198 (Resolution of Formation).

The LVWHD was approved for a five (5) year term, beginning July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2026.

Due to circumstances of the LVWHD formation process resulting in a delay in collection of assessments, the assessment could not begin until January 1, 2022. The MDP stipulates that although the five (5) year term begins July 1, 2021, the collection of assessments shall start January 1, 2022. The LVWHD term end date of June 30, 2026 is unchanged. At the Livermore City Council hearing held on November 22, 2021, at which the Resolution of Formation was passed, the Livermore City Council reduced the original LVWHD boundaries to be conterminous with the City of Livermore’s jurisdiction boundary and portions of the County of Alameda. Therefore, the LVWHD assessment is only collected from the wineries within the reduced boundary.

This third report reflects the assessments, operations, activities and expenditures for the fiscal year July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. Like the previous reports, the current report offers a retrospective view and prospective outlook, as well as an account of the operations of the LVWHD in fiscal year 2023-24.

Boundaries
There are no proposed changes to the boundaries. There have been a few wineries that have closed in this fiscal year, and one winery that has opened. JMC Cellars opened in November of 2023 and the following wineries have officially closed: Eagle Ridge Winery, Enoteca Five & Cedar Mountain Winery.

The LVWHD will continue to include all wineries existing and in the future, within the boundaries of portions of the County of Alameda and the City of Livermore, as shown on the map below. A complete listing of wineries within the LVWHD can be found in the Appendix.

Improvements and Activities
The improvements and activities to be provided for fiscal year 2023-2024 are consistent with the Management District Plan (Plan). The LVWHD has debuted several programs and partnerships and has worked with the County of Alameda and local organizations to be successful in these endeavors as part of their improvements and activities.

The LVWHD provides specific benefits to payers, by funding Marketing and Brand Awareness; Advocacy and Community Relations; Quality Enhancement and Education; Professional Development and Education Efforts with the goal to advance assessed businesses in the Livermore Valley Wine Country. The LVWHD services are designed to provide targeted benefits directly to assessed businesses and are intended only to provide benefits and services directly to those businesses paying the assessment. These services are tailored not to serve the general public, businesses in general, or parcels of land, but rather to serve the specific businesses within the LVWHD. The activities described are specifically targeted to increase sales for assessed wineries within the boundaries of the LVWHD and are narrowly tailored. LVWHD funds will be used exclusively to provide the specific benefit of increased sales revenue directly to the assessees. Assessment funds shall not be used to feature non-assessed wineries in LVWHD programs, or to directly generate sales for non-assessed wineries. The activities paid for from assessment revenues are business services constituting and providing specific benefits to the assessed wineries.

Marketing & Brand Awareness
A brand awareness marketing program will promote the LVWHD as a premium winegrowing region and as a leader in the global wine community. The brand awareness marketing program will have a central theme of promoting the LVWHD as a desirable place to experience Livermore Valley wineries, and as a desirable area to purchase wines and other estate produced products. The program has the goal of increasing demand for visitation to the winegrowing region, retail sales, affinity for LVWHD grapes and wines, and recognition at and for assessed businesses, and may include but is not limited to the following activities:
● Advertising across any and all media channels to promote assessed winery tasting rooms on a local, regional or national level, including but not limited to:
digital, print, television, radio and strategic brand partnerships; ● Media Relations – Promoting assessed winery tasting rooms through development of media relations strategies, including but not limited to: media familiarization tours, proactive media pitching and/or influencer relations; ● Digital Marketing – Utilizing paid, earned and owned social media to increase awareness of and engagement with assessed businesses;
● Events – Developing and executing winery focused special events to attract customers to assessed businesses;

239
● Trade & Industry Engagement – Ensuring representatives are provided the opportunity to attend trade shows, meetings, industry conferences, road shows, and events to promote assessed businesses; Create programs that engage key trade and industry influencers with the Livermore Valley; ● Print Collateral – Preparing and producing collateral, promotional materials such as brochures, flyers and maps for assessed winery tasting rooms; ● Brand Enhancement – Engage with a third-party brand development agency to develop brand platform and materials to assist with marketing assessed winery hospitality facilities;
● Consumer Analytics – Identify and leverage consumer demographic, geographic and psychographic data to target messaging that markets Livermore Valley as a premier, unique wine destination to attract customers to assessed winery hospitality facilities; and
● Signage Program – Ensure coordinated local signage for the Livermore Valley wine region.
● Passport Program – Create and enhance the passport program to ensure new tourism to each winery. This provides a complimentary tasting over the course of the year for 2 guests.

In 2023-2024, funds were allocated to support critical Marketing & Brand Awareness initiatives. Among these initiatives was a website refresh, which updated LVWHD's digital presence, resulting in an enhanced user experience and increased exposure. The purpose of this refresh was to drive business to assessed wineries, showcasing their offerings and attracting a broader audience. The Marketing & Brand Awareness Committee continued to elevate LVWA’s brand visibility, with the Marketing Coordinator leading various initiatives. The committee actively participated in off-site events to promote the region and its wines. Highlights included the CA Wine Fest in Santa Barbara, where LVWA collaborated with Visit Tri-Valley to create "Tri-Valley Alley," and Modern Luxury’s Best of the Bay, where LVWA served as the exclusive wine sponsor, reaching over 500 attendees.

The marketing strategy utilized a blend of print and digital campaigns in publications such as Wine Enthusiast, Modern Luxury, the Bay Area News Group, Nob Hill Gazette, 7x7, KKIQ, and Hearst. Digital ads were placed through Patch, Santana Row’s digital billboards, and Wine Country Media, which included an updated regional page, two blogs, display ads, and an e-newsletter. LVWA also organized several press trips resulting in coverage in Modern Luxury, Maxim.com, Forbes, as well as podcasts and social media platforms.

To further enhance digital visibility, LVWA partnered with Astra Digital Marketing to strengthen social media campaigns, SEO, Google Ads, and website traffic. Marketing Livermore Valley Wine Heritage District

support was also extended to key events, including winery collaborations like the Women’s Wine Collective Harvest event.

The marketing committee collaborated with the Advocacy and Community Relations Committee to have a presence at events such as the Black Vines Winemaker Dinner, hosted by Tonya Pitts, Wine Enthusiast's Northern California taster and a confirmed judge for Taste Our Terroir 2024. This collaboration also provided funds to sponsor the Alameda County Fair, hosting a wine tasting booth for all 18 days with rotating winery participation.

Additional advertising efforts included placements in the local Bay Area sports yearbooks for the Warriors, Giants, and 49ers. Social media following grew by over 10K on Instagram, fueled by engaging content like contests and the "Livermore Legacy" series. The Facebook Live series "Behind the Bottle" featured conversations with winemakers celebrating Black History and Women’s History Month. Monthly newsletters continue to reach our consumer base, leveraging events to grow subscriber numbers.

These combined efforts led to a significant increase in website traffic, with the event page seeing more engagement than the home page. The LVWA also hosted an in-house trade event, featuring several wineries, which attracted over 75 attendees, including many from the South Bay.

To continue to drive brand awareness and third-party credibility, LVWA partnered with 143 Communications for public relations efforts. From July 2023-June 2024, we hosted 16 members of the media for press trips to the region, including:
● Stacy Briscoe, editor at Wine Enthusiast
● Tina Caputo, wine writer
● Paige Comrie, wine influencer
● Ray Fister, host at Life Between the Vines podcast
● Casey Gillespie, co-founder of Marin Living Magazine

These press trips alone resulted in 36 articles and 5.1 million impressions. The articles appeared in publications such as Forbes, Drinks Business, JancisRobinson.com, Life Between the Vines podcast, Marin Living Magazine, Wine Business, Wine-Searcher.com.

Over the course of the year, we secured a total of 234 articles resulting in 1 billion impressions in publications including Edible Monterey Bay, NBC Bay Area, FOX 2, Men’s Journal, San Francisco Magazine, Wine Enthusiast, and more.

In 2024-2025, the Marketing & Brand Awareness Committee is engaging the talents of Sooraj Saxena to create a marketing video to be used on the website and digital platforms as well as in digital advertising campaigns. LVWHD has also purchased and is planning to update “the Wine Country App”. This will increase the visibility and engagement level of visitors as they are in the wine region or planning a trip to come. It will also be the home of the Livermore Valley Wine Passport, making it easier for consumers to track their visits to the assessed tasting rooms. LVWHD is also planning a collaborative advertising campaign with Visit Tri-Valley to increase the reach of our messaging and will collaborate with Alameda County and Livermore Downtown for California Wine Month “Sip with Us” program. This program encourages visitors to bring a bottle of Livermore wine to one of the 15 participating restaurants for no corkage fee for the month of September. LVWHD will continue outreach to 16+ wine educators, writers and influencers to visit Livermore Valley Wine Country in the coming year.

Advocacy & Community Relations Industry Engagement
Advocacy programs will utilize dedicated time to provide unified attention, communication, and responsiveness throughout the LVWHD. The advocacy program will also include efforts to form relationships and collaborate with local government agencies, as well as community and regional organizations and entities, to provide a unified voice to represent assessed wine tasting facilities’ best interests on topics related to economic development, regulations, and planning decisions that impact LVWHD wine tasting facilities, with the goal to advance, promote and protect the Livermore Valley Wine Country. Additionally, advocacy programs will engage and demonstrate leadership in key state and national trade and industry programs and organizations.

In 2023-2024, recognizing the significance of forging connections, the LVWHD dedicated resources and partnered with Alameda County Supervisor Haubert’s Office to launch a sister city campaign to foster relationships with other wine regions. We are currently in talks with 11 regions and have confirmed visits from 12-15 delegates to attend TASTE:

Advocacy & Community Relations Industry Engagement activities have strengthened our relationship with the community by sponsoring the following organizations:

California Association of Winegrape Growers, Unified Wine Symposium, Visit Tri-Valley Visitors Guide, Wine Origins Alliance, Alameda County Fair, and Black Vines. We have awarded our first ever scholarship to an individual and engaged in community events to drive business to assessed wineries. Engagement at the City, County, and State levels also remains a top priority. By actively participating in key decision-making processes and forging strong relationships with government entities, we aim to advocate for the mission of the LVWHD and ensure the collective voice of assessed wineries is heard.

In 2024-2025 we are dedicated to supporting the success of LVWA’s esteemed partner organizations. We have created and maintained a monthly Agri-tourism leadership committee with the Executive Directors of the following community organizations:

Tri-Valley Conservancy, Visit Tri-Valley, Livermore Downtown, Livermore Chamber, and Innovation Tri-Valley. These organizations are coming together to create a region wide event that can boost visitation and overnight stays in the Livermore Valley Wine Country and Tri-Valley.

Quality Enhancement & Education
Educational programs and quality enhancement initiatives will be developed for assessed wine tasting facilities designed to emphasize and enhance excellence and leadership in the industry, with the ultimate goal of increasing visitation, sales, and brand value for local wineries. Such programs are intended to bring increased exposure and prominence to the Livermore Valley Wine Country as a world-class winery destination through continued education to amplify exceptional practices of the growing of wine grapes and vinification of wine. The program shall include initiatives to enhance wine quality and secure industry recognition for Livermore Valley Wine Country as a premier winemaking and grape-growing region.

The Quality Enhancement and Education Committee has made great strides to raise the quality of wine and wine grapes in the Livermore Valley. We have negotiated and provided an annual cost share program for wineries to have lab services through Aemtek labs at their fingertips. This service provides pick up and test results in a timely manner to ensure quality winemaking practices. This comprehensive analysis will not only ensure the exceptional quality of wines, but also serve as a vital tool in detecting any potential flaws or inconsistencies, further bolstering dedication to delivering high quality products to consumers at assessed wineries. Another great stride has been the creation of Phase 1 of the mapping of vineyards project. This has allowed us to have a marketing tool to show where the grapes are from with each bottle of wine produced.

In 2024-2025 we plan to continue with a more comprehensive mapping project with the aid of TVC’s winery intern to complete Phases 2-5. Also, in the coming year the Quality Enhancement and Education Committee will take over the practices of the Wine Quality Alliance to no longer have redundancy in the efforts of both committees.

Cost
FY 24/25 Projections
The cost of providing improvements and activities for FY 24/25 is consistent with the Plan. The total estimated assessment budget has remained the same as a result of lower than expected business conditions. Currently in the wine industry we are seeing a trending downcycle and anticipate lower assessment revenue based on those findings.

The FY 24/25 funding sources are composed of $500,000 in projected assessment revenue plus utilization of $104,850.33 of the total FY 23/24 carryover of $223,091.28.

The total budget adopted by the LVWA Board for FY 24/25 is $604,850.33. The categorical breakdown is below. All budget category allocations are within the authorized fifteen percent (15%) adjustment of the total budget from the prior year.

FY 23/24 Actuals
Based on the initial proposed boundary of the LVWHD, the projected FY 23/24 collections as stated in the LVWHD Management District Plan were $500,000. This figure was adjusted by the LVWA’s Board of Directors from the projected budget estimate of $600,000.00 This fiscally responsible decision was made at the end of 2023 as the Board began to see a decline in winery business at the close of the year.

The revenue figures are sourced from Hdl, while the expense numbers come from LVWHD. All figures are unaudited.

Assessment
There is no change in the method and basis of levying the assessment.

Assessment Rate
The annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross direct-to-consumer sales revenue of assessed wineries. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on purchases made outside of the state of California or purchases made pursuant to contracts executed prior to January 1, 2022. Revenue generated from the LVWHD is intended only to provide programs and services for assessed businesses, all of which are located in California. Sales made outside of the state of California are not Livermore Valley Wine Heritage District
2023-2024 Annual Report 14

EXHIBIT A
248
subject to assessment due to a lack of benefit. Assessment dollars will not be spent on any programs or activities to benefit individual winery businesses outside of the state of California. Assessment dollars may be spent outside of California to elevate the notoriety of the Livermore Valley as a premier winery destination with the desired outcome of increased in-person visitation to business paying the assessment.

The term “gross sales revenue” as used herein means: the consideration charged by wineries, for all direct-to-consumer sales of wine, wine club shipments (whether shipped or picked up), ticket sales, tasting fees, tours and private and public special events, merchandise, prepared and packaged foods for on-premise or off-premise consumption (whether sold in a tasting room or a stand-alone restaurant on- premise), orders placed via telemarketing, telephone, online, email, whether carried out at the time of purchase, shipped or picked up at a later date (pre-sales). Gross sales revenue shall not include any federal, state or local taxes collected, including but not limited to sales and use taxes.

The assessment is levied upon and a direct obligation of the assessed winery. However, the assessed winery may, at its discretion, pass the assessment on to customers. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each customer, shall be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount charged and any other applicable taxes, and each customer shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. If the LVWHD assessment is identified separately it shall be disclosed as the “LVWHD Assessment.” The assessment is imposed solely upon, and is the sole obligation of the assessed winery even if it is passed on to customers. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) issued a written opinion that state sales tax applies to the revenue generated from Business Improvement District assessments on items where state sales tax is levied. In light of CDTFA’s opinion, businesses that pay both state sales tax and LVWHD assessments on sales are advised to collect sales tax on the assessment revenue.

Bonds shall not be issued.

Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
The LVWHD assessment will be implemented beginning January 1, 2022 and continuing for four and a half (4.5) years to end on June 30, 2026. The City of Livermore or a third-party collection agency will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each winery located in each jurisdiction within the LVWHD. The City or a third-party collection agency shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each winery. The City or a third-party collection agency shall forward the assessments collected to the Owners’ Association.

Surplus and Other Funding
Surplus
There is an $86,027.28 surplus from FY 23/24 activity. This amount will be combined with the FY 22/23 carryover of $137,064 for a total amount of $223,091.28 carried over into FY 24/25. We have intentionally grown our carryover and saved for larger marketing/advertising campaigns in the 24/25 fiscal year. We anticipate a decreased carryover in the next annual report.

Other Funding
Outside funding in the amount of $2,677.12 was received in FY 23/24 from other entities towards co-op advertising in the wedding issue for Modern Luxury. In addition, we earned in FY 23/24 $90.33 in interest on the balance in account. The projected $60,000.00 for event income was not received due to the LVWA board of directors choosing to keep the event under the LVWA financials for all expenses and income. No WHD funds were used to execute the event and therefore it is excluded from the annual report.

Notes
The LVWA Board of Directors made the decision during the September 2024 board meeting to change the LVWHD fiscal year to match that of the WHD. This decision will make fiscal reporting and forecasting much easier for both City of Livermore and LVWA staff.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.12

DATE:

October 28, 2024
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution accepting the FY 2023-24 Year-end Budget Report, carrying over previously appropriated but unspent funds, and allocating excess General Fund resources to City's asset replacement and repair including public safety facilities, Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) equipment replacement, and general liability and workers compensation funds.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

SUMMARY
The report summarizes the unaudited actual results of the financial activities from FY 2023-24, and details carryover of previously appropriated but unspent funds, and allocating excess General Fund resources to City's asset replacement and repair including public safety facilities, Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) equipment replacement, and general liability and workers compensation funds.

DISCUSSION
The year-end budget report attached to the report as Exhibit A to the resolution, presents the results of operations from the FY 2023-24 Budget and recommends allocations of the unspent General Fund resources to asset replacement and repair as well as liability reserves. The combined unaudited General Fund balance is $96.5 million. Of that, $41.4 million are the operating reserves equal to 30% of operating expenses consistent with the City’s General Fund Reserve Policy. As described in more detail in Exhibit A, staff is recommending allocating the FY 2023-24 General Fund surplus of $10.1 million of the FY 2023-24 General Fund surplus of $15.0 million to various purposes. Staff is also requesting allocating excess member contributions to Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department be contributed to LPFD Equipment reserves for (1) station alerting upgrade project contingency ($50,000) and (2) replacement radios ($100,000) as well as additional contribution to the LPFD Worker’s Comp Fund reserves 253
($939,266). Finally, staff is requesting supplemental budget appropriations of $517,505 from various funds to cover FY 2023-24 spending needs. These allocations occur before the final audit to incorporate the allocations into the City’s balance sheet and Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

Historically, the ending balances have not materially changed as a result of the audit.

As noted above, this information is unaudited. The audited information will be included in the City’s ACFR and will be presented to Council once the City’s independent auditor has issued its opinion on the ACFR which is expected to happen by December 31, 2024. If there are any differences in the financial information presented in this report and the ACFR because of the audit, those changes will be highlighted for the Council at the time the ACFR is presented to the Council for acceptance.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

There is no direct fiscal impact in accepting the Year-end Budget Report for the year ended June 30, 2024. As described in Exhibit A, staff is recommending allocating $10.1 million of the General Fund surplus to various purposes, allocating excess member contributions to LPFD equipment replacement ($150,000) and workers comp funds ($939,266), and is recommending supplemental budget appropriations of $517,505 from two funds to cover FY 2023-24 funding needs.

FY 2023-24 Year End Budget Report
S
UMMARY
This report presents the results of operations from the FY 2023-24 Budget (Budget) and recommends allocations of the General Fund surplus. This information is unaudited. The audited information will be included in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and will be presented to Council once the City’s independent auditor has issued its opinion on the ACFR which is expected to happen by December 31, 2024. If there are any differences in the financial information presented in this report and the ACFR because of the audit, those changes will be highlighted for the Council at the time the ACFR is presented to the Council for acceptance.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The recommendation ratifies Council’s actions since the last approved budget adjustment (on June 10, 2024) and allocates the General Fund surplus to various purposes as outlined in this report. The combined unaudited General Fund balance is $96.5 million. Of that, $41.4 million are the operating reserves equal to 30% of budgeted operating expenses consistent with the City’s General Fund Reserve Policy. In addition, as described in more detail below, staff is recommending allocating the $10.1 million FY 2023-24 General Fund operating surplus to future purposes identified in Table 2. These allocations occur before the final audit to incorporate the amounts and purpose into the City’s balance sheet and ACFR. Historically, the ending balances have not materially changed because of the audit.

BACKGROUND
The year-end financial report (Report) summarizes the actual results of FY 2023-24 financial activities and details changes in reserves. The City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is still in progress; therefore, the financial information included in this Report is based on unaudited figures. The audited information will be included in the ACFR once the City's independent auditor has issued its opinion. Any changes to the information presented in this Report because of the audit will be brought to Council’s attention at that time.

DISCUSSION
The following discussion addresses the General Fund followed by a summary of all other funds.

General Fund
As shown in Table 1, FY 2023-24 actual revenues were greater than the budget by $1.2 million or less than 1%. Transfers in/out (net transfers) were $1.4 million or 11% greater than the projected budget and operating expenditures were $10.2 million or 7.7% less than the projected budget. Overall, inflows of cash exceeded outflows of cash by $10.1 million. In addition, capital expenditures and addition to reserves were approximately $1.9 million and $3.1 million less than projected respectively. The net result of the operating surplus plus reduced capital expenditures is a $15.0 million budget surplus. A detailed explanation of these variances is included in Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5 in this Report.

EXHIBIT A
259
2 Estimated General Fund Surplus: Table 1 above shows the sources and uses for the General Fund. At the end of FY 2023-24, the unaudited numbers show an estimated surplus of approximately $15.0 million - actual revenues less expenses. The $1,851,108 unexpended Capital Expenditures will be carried forward to FY 2024-25 to fund projects underway. The $1,851,634 in unused Addition to Reserves will remain in unassigned reserves to help cover FY 2025-26 and 2026-27 budget reserve requirements.

As described in Table 2 below, staff is recommending allocating $10.1 million of the anticipated $15.0 million surplus to various contractual services ($956,051), contribution to Worker’s Comp fund reserves to cover increased Claims Payables and to provide a cushion for increased Workers Compensation expenses and/or reserve requirements in subsequent fiscal years ($3.5 million), contribution to General Liability reserves to provide a cushion for increased liability expenses in subsequent fiscal years ($1.5 million), and a contribution to Capital Improvement Reserve to be available for future capital projects ($4.1 million). The $956,051 for contractual services includes (1) funding for three small one-time capital projects (converting the Police Records Center to workspace to accommodate Police staffing needs, painting the Springtown Library and increased maintenance of the Main Library), (2) two electric vehicles for the Police fleet, (3) two carry-forward unspent contracts from FY 2023-24, (4) various LPFD one-time expenses including 2025 labor negotiations, cost allocation plan update, and PFAS investigation on LPFD sites, and (5) funding for a new 5-year Strategic Plan reporting tool.

3 General Fund Revenues: As described in Table 3 below, General Fund actual revenues were greater than the amended budget by $1.2 million or 0.9%. Table 3 presents the major revenue categories with a comparison of the projected budget versus actual revenues and the variance between the two. The following describes the significant variances.

Property Tax revenues are the General Fund’s largest revenue source, accounting for approximately 32.5% of total actual revenues. In FY 2023-24 actual property tax collections including all categories of property related taxes were $33,556 less than the projected amount of $46.6 million.

Sales and Use Tax revenue is the General Fund’s second largest revenue source accounting for approximately 27.6% of the total actual revenues. FY 2023-24 actual sales and use tax revenue was $1.3 million or 3.1% less than projected amount of $40.8 million due to relatively flat sales tax receipts compared to FY 2022-23 Staff projected a 5% increase in sales tax but the actual increase was 2%. The shortfall is due to sales tax receipts from the Autos and Transportation and Business and Industry sales tax categories, which were 9.3% and 5.3% respectively less than the amount received in FY 2022-23.

Other Taxes rev enue category decreased by $904,725, driven by three main areas: (1) the real property transfer tax was $374,457 or 30% less than budget. This tax is collected when properties transfer ownership such as selling a home. The ongoing high interest rate throughout FY 2023-24 slowed property sales. (2) Hotel Occupancy Tax revenue was short by $372,110 or

9.3% because of two hotels closed for renovations, and (3) Industrial construction tax, received Table 2. Summary of Allocations of FY 2023-24 General Fund Surplus FY 2024-25 Appropriations Am ount

4 no revenue, this year resulting in a $200,000 budget shortfall. Staff will review the estimates for Industrial construction tax to refine the projection for the FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 budget.

Use of Money and Property i ncreased by $1.0 million or 18.0% due to increased interest income associated with higher interest rates over the year.

Charges for Current Services incr eased by $1.1 million due to an increase in Engineering Inspection and Filing fees as well as Plan Check fees as development that was expected in the subsequent year beginning earlier.

Other Revenue inc reased by $597,627 million which was primarily due to a loan payment from Sewer fund that was recorded as a revenue but budgeted as a transfer-in to the General Fund.

G
eneral Fund Expenditures. Actual General Fund operating expenditures were less than the projected budget by $10.2 or -8.3%. Overall expenditures, including capital expenditures and transfers out show an overall reduction of expenses by $12.0 or -8.7% Table 4 shows the major expenditure categories with a comparison of anticipated expenses from the amended budget to actual expenditures and the variance between the two. The following describes the significant variances.

Wages and Benefits ex penses were less than the projected budget by $6.1 million or -8.9% due attrition savings in FY 2023-24.

5 Services and Supplies were $4.2 million or 7.7% less than the projected budget. Contractual services were $3.6 million less than the projected budget across all General Fund programs.

There were other miscellaneous savings of approximately $553,385.

Capital Outlay expens es were $38,528 more than projected, which is related to communication equipment budgeted in FY 2022-23 for the Police Department that was received in FY 2023-24.

The City recognizes purchases in the year in which the item is received.

Capital Expenditures wer e $1.9 million less than projected primarily due to larger CIP projects not funded by the General Fund taking more staff time to manage.

T
ransfer of Funds. As shown in Table 5, net transfers were $1.4 million or 11.0% greater than the projected budget. Transfers from Sewer Fund was budgeted as a transfer in but booked as a revenue when the money was received. The Downtown Revitalization Fee payments are recorded on the balance sheet and do not affect the budget. The Library Foundation Grant did not occur as anticipated as staffing is currently directly charged to that grant. The Low-Income Housing Fund transfer reimburses the General Fund for staff time spent working on low-income housing efforts. With the City’s new financial system, staff can directly charge to the Low- income Housing Fund. The savings is related to implementing the new system during the fiscal year. This year the transfer out to the LMD’s was also larger than expected due to additional contribution from the City for the Downtown LMD as maximum allowable assessments have been levied against the parcels benefitting from the various improvements.

7 General Fund Balances and Allocations. Table 6 presents the proposed allocations to and changes in the General Fund Reserves from the General Fund balance. Actual Operating Reserves are $41.4 million or 30% of budgeted expenditures. The City’s policy is to maintain General Fund reserves equal to 30% of operating expenses. Approximately $22.7 million of the Capital Reserves has been allocated in the FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget. Thus, at the end of FY 2024-25, there should be $19.7 million in available Capital Reserves to fund future CIP projects.

8 General Fund Contributions to the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department. The Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) budget had a net surplus of $2.2 million associated with attrition savings, contractual services savings, and less equipment reserve expenses. The City funds LPFD through its Services and Supplies budget and has contributed the required contribution amount as budgeted.

Rather than receiving a refund on the excess contributions, staff from the member agencies, City of Pleasanton and City of Livermore propose that each city use its respective $1.1 million to contribute additional money to (1) the Equipment Reserve for station alerting system project contingency and new radios and (2) increase reserves in the LPFD Workers Comp fund to cover increased Claims Payable liabilities. See Table 7 below.

The following tables include all the City’s other funds in their respective categories. Fund balances are based on unaudited actual revenues and expenditures.

Enterprise Funds A s described in Table 7 below, the City’s Enterprise Funds showed an overall decrease in total fund balances of $4.2 million or -3.2%. The following are the funds with significant variations.

The Airport Fund (F210) ended the year with a fund balance of approximately $2.1 million greater than projected. Revenues ended greater than projected by approximately $626,371.

Actual operating expenses resulted in savings of $641,872 and capital expenditures resulted in savings of $607,298 over projected amounts. There has been a delay in starting project 201314 Slurry Seal Northside Aprons and Taxi Lanes.

The Stormwater Fund ( F220) ended the year with a working capital balance of -$8,207. This shortfall is offset with the FEMA Stormwater Fund (F222) which has a positive fund balance.

The Sewer Fund (F230 ) ended the year with a fund balance of $24.5 million or $3.1 million increase over the fiscal year. Revenues came in higher than expected by $1.9 million and expenditures were less than anticipated by $1.2 million. Attrition savings is the main reason for the reduced expenses.

The Water Fund (F250) y ear-end fund balance of $10.2 million remained relatively unchanged from the beginning of the fiscal year. Revenues were greater than expected by approximately $903,657. Expenditure savings of approximately $965,525 resulting in a slight fund balance increase over the year. The additional revenues and expenditure savings are offset by $1.8 million transfer out fund capital projects. Expenditure savings were mainly in the following categories:

Actual revenues were approximately $232,967 more than expected. Capital expenses of $14.9 million mainly in project 201931 WRP Primary and Secondary Treatment Improvements along with six other CIP projects expending $1.2 million resulting in the lower fund balance.

The Sewer Connection Fee Fund (F241) ended the year with a fund balance of $5.7 million, a decrease over the year of $4.8 million. This can be attributed to CIP expenses of $4.9 million mainly in project 201931 WRP Primary and Secondary Treatment Improvements expending $4.5 million. Four other CIP projects make up the remaining $400,000 of capital expenses.

The Water Repair and M aintenance Fund (F259) ended the year with a fund balance of $26.5 million which is approximately $2.0 million more than projected. Actual revenues were approximately $206,045 more than expected while operating expenses and capital expenses in project 202130 Airway Pump Station Improvements and 202314 Springtown Water Service Replacements were less than originally projected by approximately $274,748 and $1.7 million respectively.

13 Internal Service Funds as described in Table 11 below there was an overall decrease in total fund balances of $3.9 million or -15.3% over the fiscal year. The following are the funds with significant variations.

Risk Management – W/ C Insurance (F710) had a decrease in the working capital balance by $1.6 million due to actual expenditures being greater than budgeted by $493,291. As previously noted, staff recommends allocating $3.5 million to the Workers Compensation Fund to replenish reserves.

Information Technol ogy (F720) had a reduction in the actual fund balance over the year of $4.0 million. The fund had large expenditures. The budget included a large draw on fund balance to fund several one-time IT expenses.

Fleet and Equipment Services (F730) had an i ncrease in the actual fund balance of $1.4 million due to actual expenditures less than budget by $1.7 million and $100,000 for operating expenses and capital expenses respectively. These reduced expenditures occurred primarily due to delayed shipment of vehicle orders that are still affected by supply chain issues and the one capital project not starting in the current year as originally planned.

Facilities Rehabilitation Program (F740) had an i ncrease in the actual fund balance by approximately $185,343 caused by the debt service budget, capital outlay budget, and capital expenditures. As previously noted, the City budgets for debt service principal as an expense to ensure there is funding available to cover the debt service payment, however when the payment is recorded, it shows on the balance sheet and not as an expense resulting in less expenses.

Estimated capital outlay expenses did not occur this year resulting in a budgeted savings of $680,000. Capital Improvement expenditures were less than budget by $706,116 mainly due to the Civic Center Library and Maintenance Building HVAC Improvement project delayed to FY 2024-25.

14 Appropriation of Expenditure Budget t o Cover Shortfalls At the end of the FY 2023-24 some funds had expenditures in excess of budget. Table 13 below shows the affected funds and the over expenditure. Below Table 13 includes an explanation for the over-expenditures.

City Street Sweeping Fund (F602) incurred more expenses in contracts and supplies and equipment category than what was anticipated at the time of setting the FY 2023-24 budget.

Risk Management – W/ C Insurance (F710) spent more than the budget due to a payment of the FY 2024-25 Deposit/Premium that was expensed at the end of FY 2023-24 rather than in FY 2024-25.

Staff is requesting a bud get appropriation from the City Street Sweeping and Workers Compensation fund balances in the amount of $517,505 for FY 2023-24 to cover these two funds’ over-expenditures.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT
As described in Tabl e 2, staff is requesting appropriation of $10.1 million of the General Fund surplus to cover various expenses in FY 2023- 24 including contractual services and various contributions to Workers Comp, General Liability, and Capital Improvement Reserves. Staff is also requesting to approve additional contributions to LPFD Equipment reserves and Workers Comp fund with the surplus of contributions to LPFD. Finally, as described in Table 13 above, staff is requesting supplemental budget appropriations of $517,505 from two funds to cover FY 2023-24 budget shortfalls.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.13

DATE:

October 28, 2024
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution amending the City of Livermore Salary Plan to reflect salary increases to Executive Management (excluding the Police Chief), the City Attorney, and City Manager effective November 18, 2
02 4,
a
nd retitlin
g the current Systems Administrator (Job Class
2210) to Network Engineer.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

SUMMARY
Staff recommends the following changes to the Salary Plan:

1 .

Amend the Salary Plan to incorporate the salary increases granted to the City Attorney and City Manager.
2 .

Amend the Executive Management (excluding the Police Chief) Salary Plan to incorporate a 2.5% increase.
3 .

Retitle the current Systems Administrator
(Job Class 2210)
to Network Engineer.

DISCUSSION
On October 28, 2024, the City Council is expected to approve an amended employment contract with City Manager Marianna Marysheva. Pursuant to the employment contract, the City Council conducted the City Manager's annual performance evaluation on October 14, 2024, and evaluated modifications to the terms and conditions of employment. The salary increase of 7.5% (2.5% cost of living increase plus 5% merit increase) is in accordance with the new contract terms and conditions negotiated.

On October 28, 2024, the City Council is expected to approve an amended employment contract with City Attorney Jason Alcala. Pursuant to the employment contract, the City Council conducted the City 273
Attorney's annual performance evaluation on October 14, 2024, and evaluated modifications to the terms and conditions of employment. The salary increase of 2.5% is in accordance with the new contract terms and conditions negotiated.

Executive Management employees are at-will and serve at the pleasure of the City Manager. On October 23, 2023, City Council approved a resolution authorizing Executive Management to receive the same salary increase received by the Livermore Management Group (LMG) in that same year. On July 1, 2024, LMG received a 2.5% base salary increase as provided in the LMG Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) approved by the City Council on June 28, 2021. Based on Council Resolution 2023-191, the Police Chief is to receive the same salary increases as the Livermore Police Management Association. The Police Chief received a base salary increase of 2.5% effective July 1, 2024, and is therefore excluded from receiving the increase received by LMG.

Information Technology and Human Resources evaluated the current classification of Systems Administrator
(Job Class 2210)
and are recommending retitling it to Network Engineer to better reflect the generally accepted terminology in the information technology field. The classification was also updated to accurately reflect modern technology terminology as the technology this position is responsible for has changed considerably in the years since the last revision.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The fiscal impact for the salary increases granted to the City Attorney and City Manager is approximately $33,550 a year to the General Fund. The salary increases to the Executive Management (excluding the Police Chief) have already been included in the FY 2024-25 adopted budget. There are no costs associated with the retitling of the Systems Administrator (Job Class 2210)
.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.1

DATE:

October 28, 2024
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Hearing to consider the Housing and Human Services needs and Housing and Human Services Grant Priorities for Fiscal Years 2025-27.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Human Services Commission and staff recommend the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Housing and Human Services Grant Priorities for Fiscal Years 2025-27.

SUMMARY
The Human Services Commission and staff recommend the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Housing and Human Services Grant priorities as set forth in Exhibit A to the Resolution. These priorities are based on input from Livermore’s non-profit service providers and community members about their most pressing housing and human services needs and will inform the next Housing and Human Services Grant application process to select projects serving low-income, senior, youth, people experiencing homelessness and disabled Livermore residents.

DISCUSSION
Through the annual Housing and Human Services Grants funding process, the City of Livermore offers multiple funding sources to support capital projects and public service programs benefiting low-income Livermore households, which are consistent with the City’s goals and priorities. In fiscal year FY2024-25, the City received $380,352 in federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $117,839 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds. The City leveraged these federal dollars with $80,000 of General Funds (to temporarily supplement the City's Social Opportunity Endowment), $310,000 of Affordable Housing Trust Funds and $30,000 of prior year unexpended CDBG funds. These funding sources provided 13 grants to nine public and non-profit agencies delivering vital services to Livermore residents. Funded projects include food programs for seniors, tenant based rental assistance programs and emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness.

On January 8, 2024, City Council approved a Community Benefit Policy and established a Community Benefit Fund to guide Staff in the negotiations with land developers for direct financial contributions that 297
provide community benefits other than those within the City’s development fee structure, including Human Services programs. Since that time, staff negotiated, and City Council approved $1,800,000 in total funding commitments from the Isabel Crossing development and the Arroyo Vista development to help restore the Social Opportunity Endowment (SOE). Prior to its depletion, the SOE provided $80,000 in annual funding through the Housing and Human Services Grants process to support human services programs. Those funds have been backfilled by the General Fund for the past two years. Staff anticipates the first funding payments from those developments to begin in 2025 which will cover eligible grants funded through the FY 2025-27 process. Staff is developing a plan to manage the use of those funds over time to maximize the longevity of the fund.

Separately, Community Development Department staff are exploring a new source of State funding to incentivize the creation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) in the City. This program would be administered separately from the upcoming Housing and Human Services grant process. The State ADU funding would be administered directly to homeowners for construction of new ADU's, including those who are low income.

Staff will be implementing a two-year funding cycle for Housing and Human Services Grants process starting in FY 2025-27. In April 2023, the City Council directed staff to explore moving towards a two- year grant process. Staff’s evaluation concluded it would provide the City’s non-profit partners with more funding predictability/financial stability, reduce non-profit and City staff administration time, and address the request from non-profit agencies for all of the Tri-Valley cities to streamline their grants funding processes. Both the CDBG regulations and the Human Services Commission duties and responsibilities allow for a two-year grant process.

The City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan sets forth broad policy goals for addressing identified priority needs using federal CDBG and HOME funds and establishes a "Citizen Participation Plan" which describes the City’s policies and procedures for public involvement in the grants process. The City's Citizen Participation Plan requires a community outreach process and public hearing on housing and human services needs prior to each Housing and Human Services grant cycle.

The community outreach process provides valuable input on current safety net service needs which align closely with the projects currently being funded. City staff tabled at two community events in August 2024 to gather input about needs in the community. The first event was the Salud y Sol End of Summer Health Fiesta hosted by Tri-Valley Non-Profit Alliance (TVNPA), which drew over 1,000 people to May Nissen Park in Livermore to learn about services that are provided for low-income residents. The second community event was the Livermore Farmers Market. At both events, staff was able to survey residents about community needs and distribute Tri-Valley Affordable Housing Rental Guides and Human Services Pocket Guides.

Prior to this, from November 2022 through June 2023, extensive outreach was done to develop the 2024 Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment (EACHSNA). The EACHSNA evaluates the strengths and needs and makes recommendations for the human service delivery network for the region and the individual cities of Livermore, Pleasanton and Dublin. Input from 338 people was received as part of the outreach process to develop the report, which included focus groups, one-on-one interviews with community members, tabling at community events and interviews with the non-profit leaders.

In January 2024, the City established a Homeless Roundtable to unite non-profit organizations and 298
service providers to strategize in addressing the city’s needs while identifying opportunities for expanding available services. Based on the opportunities identified by the group, at the April 2024 meeting, working groups were formed to focus on the following priorities: Universal Basic Income, Mental Health and Substance Use Treatment services, Collaboration and Outreach efforts, and Alternatives to Affordable Housing. A few priority projects have identified funding sources and agencies to support a pilot program, including Universal Basic Income. The Homeless Roundtable working groups are consistent with the proposed grant priorities, and projects that are created from the working groups could be eligible for grant funding if they applied through the Housing and Human Services Grants process.

On September 10, 2024, the Human Services Commission reviewed the feedback from staff’s outreach efforts as well as the recommendations from the 2024 EACHSNA and developed a set of four funding priorities for the next Housing and Human Services Grant cycle. The four priorities are: Housing Services, Homeless Services, Health Care Services, and Service Provision, Awareness, and Navigation.

Each priority is further described in Exhibit A to the Resolution. As required by the Citizen Participation Plan, the City published a public notice on September 26, 2024, notifying the community of the FY 2025- 27 Housing and Human Services Grant Priorities public hearing that will take place at the October 28, 2024, Council meeting.

If adopted by City Council, the Housing and Human Services grant priorities will inform how the Human Services Commission will evaluate and score all grant applications submitted to the City by non-profit and public agencies for the next two fiscal years, covering FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27. The Human Services Commission will review submitted grant applications during their regular February and March 2025 Human Services Commission meetings and will bring funding recommendations to Council for their consideration at a future meeting.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

There are no fiscal impacts other than staff time associated with the community outreach process. The priorities adopted by City Council will inform funding decisions made during the next Housing and Human Services Grant cycle.

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA

A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES GRANT PRIORITIES FOR FISCAL YEARS 2025-27
Each year, the City of Livermore (“City”) 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. These funding sources include federal Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) funds and HOME Investment Partnership Program (“HOME”) funds which are leveraged with City sources, including the Social Opportunity Endowment (“SOE”) Fund, Affordable Housing Trust Fund and Social and Human Services Facility Fee Fund.

The City has traditionally allocated these federal and local funds through its Housing and Human Services Grant Program to eligible public and non-profit agencies that provide housing and social services. For FY 2024-25, the City’s Housing and Human Services Grant Program is providing 13 grants to nine public and non-profit agencies.

The City of Livermore Citizen Participation Plan requires a community outreach process and public hearing on housing and human services needs prior to each Housing and Human Services grant cycle. As part of an update to the FY 2025-27 priorities, staff tabled at two community events in August 2024, to gather input about the needs in the community. And from November 2022 through June 2023, extensive outreach was done for the 2024 Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment (“EACHSNA”) through focus groups, one-on-one interviews with community members, tabling at community events, and interviews with non-profit leaders.

On September 10, 2024, the Human Services Commission provided feedback on staff’s outreach efforts as well as the results from the 2024 EACHSNA and recommended a set of four funding priorities for the next Housing and Human Services Grant cycle, as set forth in the attached Exhibit A. City staff recommend the City Council adopt a resolution approving these Housing and Human Service Grant priorities for FY 2025-

27. These priorities will inform how the Human Services Commission will evaluate and score all grant applications submitted to the City by non-profit and public agencies during the grant cycle.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that it approves the Housing and Human Services Grant Priorities for FY 2025- 27 as recommended in the attached Exhibit A which will inform the Housing and Human Services Grant application process for the next Housing and Human Services grant cycle.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 7.1

DATE:

October 28, 2024
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution accepting the Altamont Landfill Open Space Committee's recommendation to expend funds from the Open Space Account for a grant in the amount of $56,000 to allow the Alameda County Resources Conservation District and the California Rangeland Trust to conduct an outreach program to educate Alameda County ranchers about permanent conservation easements. The grant also includes monies to establish a revolving fund to help landowners cover up-front appraisal costs.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution:
1 .

Determining that the expenditure is consistent with the Settlement Agreement and the Open Space Committee’s priorities;
4 .

Accepting the Altamont Landfill Open Space Committee's proposed expenditure of $56,000 from the Altamont Landfill Settlement Agreement Open Space Account; and 5 .

Directing staff to place future Altamont Landfill Open Space Committee funding concurrences on the consent calendar, consistent with the Alameda County Board of Supervisor's practice.

SUMMARY
The Open Space Committee, on which the City of Livermore serves as a voting member, recommends funding a grant request from the Alameda County Resources Conservation District and the California Rangeland Trust. The goal of the grant proposal is to ultimately generate future grant proposals for conservation easements. The proposal includes an outreach program with two in-person workshops, as well as the production of a webinar that can be viewed online anytime. Additionally, the proposal includes 304
the establishment of a revolving fund to help cover appraisal costs. The program will educate Alameda County ranchers about the benefits of placing conservation easements on their property and the revolving fund will help remove financial barriers to beginning the process of placing conservation easements on open space. For example, the revolving fund can be used to offset initial appraisal costs that landowners normally pay if they want to put their land under permanent conservation easements.

On May 17, 2024, the Open Space Committee voted to expend $56,000 from the Altamont Landfill Open Space Account to the Alameda County Resources Conservation District (see Attachment 1 for background and the full text of the grant application). The City of Livermore will administer the Agreement (Attachment 2) with the Alameda County Resources Conservation District and transfer the funds awarded from the Open Space Account to the Alameda County Resources Conservation District, according to the terms in the Agreement.

DISCUSSION

BACKGROUND

Altamont Landfill Settlement Agreement Open Space Accoun t
In 1999, Alameda County, Cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, Sierra Club, Northern California Recycling Association, Altamont Landowners Against Rural Mismanagement, and Waste Management of Alameda County, entered into a Settlement Agreement that resolved a legal challenge relating to the proposed expansion of the Altamont Landfill. Results of the Settlement Agreement include substantial reductions in the landfill expansion and waste imports, and a requirement for the operator to collect a $0.75 per ton fee for open space acquisition. The collected fees are deposited to an Open Space Account and funding is then allocated through a process established in the Settlement Agreement.

The Settlement Agreement established an Open Space Committee whose role, in part, is to recommend allocations of funding from the Open Space Account. Funding allocations are recommended by the voting members of the Open Space Committee. The City of Livermore, Alameda County, and the Sierra Club represent the voting members for the eastern acquisition priority area which receives 80 percent of the Open Space Account money. The City of Pleasanton, Alameda County, and the Sierra Club represent the voting members for the western acquisition priority area that receives 20 percent of the Open Space Committee account money. Currently, there is $20,381,924 million in the Open Space Account designated for expenditures in the eastern acquisition area and $3,032,600 in the western area (as of September 20, 2024).

Vasco Road Landfill Open Space Fund
On May 4, 2006, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors upheld the County Planning Commission’s approval amending the Conditional Use Permit for Vasco Road Landfill to continue landfill and recycling activities. Consistent with the language in the Altamont Settlement Agreement, the approval requires the Vasco Road Landfill operator (Republic Services, Inc.) to collect the same per-ton fees for open space, recycling/diversion education, and host community impact, as the Altamont Landfill operator (Waste Management of Alameda County, Inc.). Vasco Road Landfill Conditions of Approval require the collection and expenditures from the fee accounts to be identical to the Altamont Landfill Settlement Agreement.

ANALYSIS

The Open Space Committee holds regular meetings under the terms of the Settlement Agreement. Vice 305
Mayor Carling is Livermore’s Open Space Committee representative. The Settlement Agreement requires the Open Space Committee to establish a priority list of future acquisition areas in Eastern Alameda County based upon the selection criteria in the Settlement Agreement:

1. Properties with significant value for preservation of native biological diversity and/or wildlife, and

2. Properties having significant value for visual character and/or non-motorized recreation.

Additional selection criteria include strategic value in land protection, additional funding sources, and willing sellers. The purchase of permanent conservation easements that are consistent with these priorities are also eligible for funding.

Section 7.4.7 of the 1999 Altamont Landfill Settlement Agreement states:
“By approval of a majority of the members of the Advisory Committee, and concurrence by the County and Cities, up to five percent (5%) of the funds received in the Open Space Account in any given year may be expended for the services of independent consultants to aid the Advisory Committee in carrying out its duties to identify open space areas in need of protection and to make plans for their acquisitions, and up to two percent (2%) of the fund received in the Open Space Account any given year may be expended for costs incurred in the financial management of the account.” In accordance with Section 7.4.7 of the Settlement Agreement, the voting members from both the east and west acquisition priority areas voted unanimously to authorize the expenditure of $56,000. This includes $24,700 for the outreach portion, and $31,300 for establishment of the revolving fund and administrative costs.

In 2023, the Altamont Open Space Fund received $2,229,931. Five percent of that total is $111,496.57.

The total includes the fees paid by both landfills and interest on the account. The $56,000 grant request falls within the five percent of funds received for 2023.

The City of Livermore will administer the proposed Agreement since the Open Space Committee does not have contract authority. The City’s role, as a party to the Agreement, will be to execute the agreement with the Alameda Resources Conservation District. The City will transfer funding awarded from the Open Space Account to the Alameda County Resource Conservation District for: (1) consultant services, on an invoice payment basis; and (2) the one-time transmittal of funds to ACRCD for the Revolving Fund. Section 7.4.7 also requires the City Council to concur with the Open Space Committee’s authorization of funding, which is the purpose of this staff report and recommended Council action.

Because the funding amount for this agreement is for only $56,000 it does not require City Council approval.

Supporting the Alameda County Resources Conservation District and the California Rangeland Trust in their efforts to educate ranchers and rural landowners about the value of conservation easements is consistent with the implementation of Livermore’s 2003 General Plan, which includes the following goals, objectives, and policies regarding open space and conservation:

Goal OSC-1 Conserve the value and function of Livermore’s open space as a biological resource.

Objective OSC-1.1 Maintain biodiversity within the Planning Area with special emphasis on species that 306
are sensitive, rare, declining, unique, or represent valuable biological resources.

Policy 1. Priority shall be given to land acquisition efforts that would result in the creation and expansion of linkages between existing protected natural resource areas.

Policy 2. The City shall support efforts to preserve and maintain Corral Hollow, important as the most northerly range of desert plants and animals, as open space.

Policy 3 The City shall support efforts to preserve and maintain Cedar Mountain, important for its restricted stand of Sargent Cypress as open space.

Policy 5. The City shall support efforts to preserve and protect the Brushy Peak Regional Preserve consistent with the goals of East Bay Regional Park District’s Master Plan for the Preserve.

Policy 6. The City shall preserve and maintain Frick Lake and the Springtown Alkali Sink area s important wildlife and plan habitats through preservation of open space in and around these areas.

OSC-1.2 P1. Habitats of rare or endangered species shall be preserved.

OSC-1.3 Conserve Livermore’s native tree and vegetation, which are important biological resources within the planning area.

OSC-1.4 P1. The City shall encourage the County of Alameda, East Bay Regional Park District, and the Livermore Area Recreation and Parks District to preserve and protect areas outside the Urban Growth Boundary.

Policy 3. The City shall encourage and cooperate with the County, East Bay Regional Park District, Livermore Area Recreation and Park District, and other agencies and organizations to establish a program to preserve representative examples of natural and near-natural landscape communities, such as the Springtown Alkali Sink, Brushy Peak, Corral Hollow, Cedar Mountain and Sycamore Grove.

OSC-2.1 Continue efforts to ensure that development does not harm the quality or quantity of Livermore’s surface or ground water.

On August 8, 2024, The Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved the expenditure from the Open Space Account. Based on the consistency with General Plan policy, staff recommends the Council accept the Open Space Committee’s proposed expenditure of $56,000 to fund the outreach and revolving fund contract for professional services with the Alameda County Conservation Resource District and the California Rangeland Trust.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

If the Livermore City Council accepts the Committee’s recommendation, the balance in the Altamont Landfill Settlement Open Space Account will be reduced by $44,800 (80% of $56,000) for the eastern portion and $11,200 (20% of $56,000) for the western portion. Funding this grant request would have no impact on the City’s General Fund other than the allocation of staff time to prepare this report to the City Council and administer the contract. ACRCD will oversee and manage the outreach and revolving fund with the Rangeland Trust as a partner.

1 Altamont Open Space Fund grant request for Alameda County Rancher Outreach Program
Submitted by Alameda County Resource Conservation District and California Rangeland Trust Project Description:

The Alameda County Resource Conservation Dis
trict (ACRCD) and the California Rangeland
Trust (CRT) request a grant in the amount of $56,000 for an outreach program to educate Alameda County ranchers about permanent conservation easements. The goal of the outreach program is to generate future grant proposals for the Altamont Open Space Fund by educating county ranchers and other rural landowners about the value of placing perpetual conservation easements on their properties. The outreach program will consist of two in-person workshops, one each in the western 20% and the eastern 80% funding areas, as well as the production of a webinar that can be viewed online at any time. Additionally, the grant proposal includes monies for a unique revolving fund to help landowners cover up-front appraisal costs associated with establishing a conservation easement value, which can be a barrier to participation.

Background:

The Altamont Landfill Settlement Agreement provides for acquisition in fee or permanent easement of property having significant value for preservation of native biological diversity and/or wildlife habitat, or of property having significant value for visual character and/or non- motorized recreation.

Despite being in existence since 2001, the Open Space Committee has funded only one grant, in 2023, for a permanent conservation easement. This compares with 18 grants made for acquisition in fee title. Recent grants for acquisition in fee approved in March 2024 ranged from $16,800 to $31,875 per acre, whereas the grant approved in September 2023 for the Dirrane (formerly known as “DC”) Ranch for a permanent conservation easement was at a cost of $3,083 per acre.

The Open Space Fund’s contribution included an endowment for monitoring and enforcement of the easement and other due diligence costs. Simply put, permanent conservation easements are cost effective solutions to preserve native biological diversity and open space. They can significantly extend the life of the Open Space Fund and protect more open space land in the process.

The Settlement Agreement allows for the assistance of land trusts, special districts, and members of the ranching community to help the Open Space Committee carry out its mission.

About the California Rangeland Trust
In 1997, seeing the multitude of challenges facing the agricultural industry, a group of cattlemen and women from the California Cattlemen’s Association identified an inherent need to offer creative conservation solutions to the ranching community. Their vision was to create an organization for ranchers, run by ranchers, to protect the land and its natural resources for current and future generations of Californians. After learning from and networking with like-minded groups, such as the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust, the California Rangeland ATTACHMENT 1
309
2 Trust was born. It sought to provide real tools, common vision, and collaborative opportunities to the ranching community.

These same values still hold true today as we seek to honor ranchers, preserve grazing operations, and protect California’s natural resources. The Rangeland Trust’s mission is simple:
we exist to serve the land, people, and wildlife by conserving California’s working rangelands.

As the largest statewide land trust in California, we have helped 90 ranching families conserve nearly 400,000 acres of private rangeland. We recognize that rangelands are critical to air and water quality, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, local economies, and global food supplies. We believe in the importance of protecting rangeland and the life it sustains.

About the Alameda County Resource Conservation District The ACRCD is an independent special district whose mission is to provide leadership in the County and region about natural resource conservation, biodiversity, and agricultural enhancements. ACRCD is non-regulatory and instead achieves its objectives through voluntary partnerships, policy initiatives, and other incentives-based efforts. We work with private and public land managers, providing education, technical assistance, and financial assistance. For example, the ACRCD administers education programs at the Sunol AgPark on behalf of the SFPUC. We provide technical assistance and County funding to farmers and ranchers under the Alameda County Compost for Agriculture Program. The ACRCD has successfully managed funding from the ALOSC for wildlife camera trapping in support of planning wildlife highway crossings and corridors.

Outreach Program Details:

Two workshops will take place in Fall of 2024, when ranchers typically have more time than in spring or summer to attend events. We propose holding the west side workshop at the Koopmann Ranch in Sunol, south of Pleasanton. The Rangeland Trust holds multiple conservation easements on the Koopmann Ranch, and Tim Koopmann has been invited to speak at the workshop about his experiences. The east side workshop will be held at the Martinelli Center on Greenville Road in Livermore.

Each workshop is expected to last approximately 1½ hours. An introduction will describe the Altamont Open Space Fund, the role of the Open Space Committee, the ACRCD’s role in conservation, and the availability of funding for permanent conservation easements. The main part of the presentation by the Rangeland Trust will describe conservation easements in detail – how they work, what activities are typically allowed under an easement, and their value to current landowners and their heirs. The final part of the program will be a questions-and-answers period. Refreshments will be served.

The live webinar will build on the in-person workshop program. It will provide an opportunity to address topics and questions from the workshops; as such, we will finalize the agenda and form of the webinar after conducting the workshops. We anticipate involving a guest expert, such as a tax attorney, to speak to specific inquiries and concerns from participants. The webinar will be recorded and made available for future viewing.

$30,000 - Revolving fund for appraisals:

One of the largest obstacles to pursuing conservation easements is determining the value of the property, which requires an independent appraisal by a professional certified for determining the per-acre value of the easement. Because the appraiser represents the property owner, the property owner is expected to pay for the appraisal.

Such an appraisal can cost upwards of $10,000. This upfront cost can serve as a significant barrier for someone looking to pursue an easement, and it also can significantly reduce the net profit for the landowner when selling an easement, making the transaction financially impracticable.

To solve this problem, we propose a revolving fund of $30,000 for appraisals to mitigate this up-front finance barrier. The initial size of the fund would allow for three (estimated at $10,000 each) appraisals and subsequent easement projects to occur simultaneously in the ALOSC funding area. The DC Ranch grant that was approved in 2023 included $8,000 for its appraisal. To guard against speculative appraisals being commissioned by landowners, an appraisal paid from the revolving fund would only be authorized after a land trust such as the Rangeland Trust had thorough conversations with the landowners, determined they were serious, and had made its own professional assessment of the land, its conservation values, and the likelihood that a successful transaction would occur. Only then would an independent professional appraisal be authorized. When a grant for the easement is approved, the grant would cover the up-front cost of the appraisal, which would then be repaid to the revolving fund for future appraisals. The revolving fund will be held and managed by the ACRCD.

Report back to the ALOSC:

At the first Open Space Committee meeting in 2025, we will report back. The report will include:

• How many invitations were sent to Alameda County ranchers and other landowners, as well as a description of other ways the workshops and webinar were publicized.

ATTACHMENT 1
311
4 • How many people attended each workshop and the webinar.

• How many properties the attendees represented. (The correspondence might not be 1 to 1; multiple generations representing the same property might attend.)

• A follow-up survey of attendees will ask how useful the workshops were: what information was most helpful for their understanding of how conservation easements work and how an easement could serve both their financial interest and their desire to conserve their land in perpetuity; what kind of information was lacking; and whether the presentations led them to seriously consider selling a permanent easement on their property.

• Finally, if the workshops lead to any follow-up discussions with ranchers or site visits to evaluate a property, this will be reported as well. We would note, however, that because the workshops will take place fairly late in the year, January 2025 might be too soon to show real results. For this reason, we will make annual reports to the Committee about the success in generating interest in permanent conservation easements among Alameda County ranchers. We will also report on the status of the revolving fund. This information will help the Committee gauge whether workshops in future years are worth investing in.

Thank you for considering this proposal for an Outreach Program for Alameda County ranchers about conserving their land with permanent conservation easements.
