2. “Industrial” means any premises used for manufacturing or industrial purposes which discharges industrial waste, sanitary waste and sewage by reason of the manufacturing or industrial process involved, or which discharges chemicals or putrescent materials.

3. “Miscellaneous” means premises used for a purpose which is unlike residential or commercial, and for which a specific sewer service and use charge cannot be fixed other than by formula, taking into conside ration rate of flow of sewer discharge or water use and quality of discharge wastewater characteristics.

4. “Multiple-family dwelling” means any premises designed, improved or used as a residence for two or more families living independently of each other in two or more structurally joined dwelling units with separate entrances; this term shall include apartment houses and duplexes, but it shall not include accessory dwelling units , hotels, motels, dormitories or similar structures.

5. “Parameter” means the criteria on which the peak month loading charge and annual loading charge components of sewer service charges will be based, including, but not limited to flow, in gallons and/or millions of gallons, BOD in pounds 22 2 ORDINANCE NO. ________
and/or thousands of pounds, and suspended solids (SS) in pounds and/or thousands of pounds.

56. “Single-family dwelling” means premises designed, improved or used primarily as a residence residential use with one primary unit on a single parcel for one family and for no other purpose.

It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the single-family or multifamily dwelling is or will be situated. An ADU also includes an efficiency unit or a manufactured home, as defined in section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code. (Government Code 66313)

78. “Wastewater characteristics” means the general composition of the wastewater based on individual pollutants, for example, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids.

89. “Winter water usage” means the average water consumption for a property between the months of December and March of a given calendar year.

13.36.060 Residential customers
Residential customers shall be billed at a flat monthly rate by dwelling type, incl uding single-family, and multi-family, and accessory dwelling units. Different rates are established according to dwelling type in order to recognize that typical family sizes and thus wastewater flows vary according to dwelling type.

13.36.090 Industrial and miscellaneous customers

Industrial and miscellaneous users shall pay both annual loading charges and peak month loading charges sewer service charges based on measured flow and wastewater characteristics and parameters or wastewater flow and characteristics and parameters as estimated by the water resources manager Water Resources Division Manager.

A. Annual Loading Charges. Customers in the industrial category shall pay annual loading charges based on unit costs of providing treatment for the parameters of volume, in millions of gallons per year, BOD, in thousands of pounds per year, and suspended solids, in thousands of pounds per year.

B. Peak Month Loading Charges. In addition to the annual loading charges under subsection A of this section, customers in the industrial category shall also pay a monthly loading charge that is the sum of the following unit costs: volume, in millions of gallons per day, BOD, in pounds per day, and suspended solids, in pounds per day. Peak monthly charges will be calculated on the highest average monthly flow, BOD and suspended solid data for the preceding fiscal year. Upon verification of data indicating that current monthly average levels have exceeded previously established peak monthly levels, peak monthly charges shall be recalculated to reflect this increase with the next monthly billing cycle. Also, the user may be billed for the difference in adjusted peak loading charges 23 3 ORDINANCE NO. ________
from the beginning of the fiscal year billing cycle. (Ord. 1590 § 10, 2000; Ord. 1170 § 4, 1984; 1960 code § 18.83).

ITEM NO. 5.3

DATE:

TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brandon Cardwell, Innovation and Economic Development Director SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing execution of a two-year grant agreement with i-GATE Development Corporation for entrepreneurial support and development activities for Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27 in an amount not-to-exceed $300,000 each fiscal year.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a two- year grant agreement with i-GATE Development Corporation for entrepreneurial support and development activities for Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27 in an amount not-to-exceed $300,000 each fiscal year.

SUMMARY
Since i-GATE's founding in 2010, the City of Livermore has provided financial and staff support for the organization's activities, which have included operation of a startup incubator, entrepreneur training programs, regional branding campaigns, workforce development activities, and networking events.

From 2014 to October of 2022, i-GATE was managed by City staff member Brandon Cardwell, who served as executive director of the non-profit organization. An independent executive director, Yolanda Fintschenko, PhD., was appointed by the i-GATE board of directors in October 2022 to lead i-GATE through a period of new growth, including the reopening of Daybreak Labs startup incubator which was severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

While i-GATE no longer requires City staff to serve in a leadership capacity for the organization, City funding is still needed to support i-GATE's entrepreneur development activities, specifically the operation of Daybreak Labs startup incubator.

On September 27, 2023, the City of Livermore entered into a two-year Grant Agreement with i-GATE Development Corporation for entrepreneurial support and development activities. The grant agreement provides financial support and certainty for i-GATE as it reestablished Daybreak Labs and continues 25 offering training, networking, and branding initiatives that support the growth of the local innovation economy. The current grant agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2025.

The attached two-year grant agreement (Exhibit A to the Resolution) will provide financial support and certainty for i-GATE as it continues to grow Livermore's innovation economy by offering training, networking, and branding initiatives.

DISCUSSION
In 2009, the State office known at the time as the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GO-ED) issued a call for proposals to establish a network of innovation hubs, or "iHubs", throughout California.

The City of Livermore, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories-CA collaborated to submit a proposal that included dozens of additional partners spanning government, industry, and academia. The proposal was titled "Innovation for Green Advanced Transportation Excellence" (i-GATE), and focused on commercialization of advanced energy and transportation technologies from Livermore's two national labs, leading to high quality job creation and investment in the local innovation economy.

The proposal was accepted by GO-ED and i-GATE was named one of the first six iHubs under the new state program. Shortly after the designation was received, it became clear that the State did not intend to provide any financial support for the iHub program.

i-GATE's local partners, including the City of Livermore, agreed to provide the necessary financial support to advance the initiative's programs, particularly the establishment of an independent non-profit startup incubator, which opened in June of 2011.

From 2014 to October 2022, City staff member Brandon Cardwell served as executive director of i-GATE in addition to his role with the City. In October of 2022, Yolanda Fintschenko, PhD., was hired as i- GATE's first independent executive director. Dr. Fintschenko's task was to operationalize the new Daybreak Labs facility at 7683 Southfront Road, which is a business incubation facility focused on serving life sciences and "deep tech" startups, including those working on commercializing technologies focused on climate, energy, agriculture, materials, and other scientific disciplines. Additionally, i-GATE conducts entrepreneurial training, under the banner Startup Tri-Valley.

The City has provided ongoing financial support for i-GATE's incubation and programming activities, supporting over 50 startup companies throughout the organization's history. These activities have resulted in the creation of hundreds of jobs across the region and investment of over $440 million in follow-on funding in local startups supported by i-GATE's incubator, Daybreak Labs.

These activities have also included a variety of business events, including the annual Tri-Valley Life Sciences Summit, AI Summit, Life Sciences and AI Speaker Series, Climate and Energy tech events, Daybreak Labs Lunch and Learns for startup founders, and many events connecting startups to funding and to the local talent pipeline. i-GATE also hosts the Startup Tri-Valley podcast, highlighting local entrepreneurs and investors. i-GATE is required to report annually on its various grant activities, including Daybreak Labs operations, events, entrepreneurial support programs, and promotions. The 2023-24 report can be found in Attachment 1.

City funding is required to support i-GATE's entrepreneur development activities. On September 27, 26 2023, the City of Livermore entered into a two-year Grant Agreement with i-GATE Development Corporation, which will expire on June 30, 2025. The two-year agreement for Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27 will provide up to $300,000 each year in financial support for i-GATE as it continues to reestablish Daybreak Labs and offer training, networking, and branding initiatives that support the growth of the local innovation economy.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

$300,000 has already been budgeted in the City's General Fund (Fund 001) for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27.

In 2023-2024 FY, we saw 2 of these companies move to private space in the Tri-Valley and onboarded 4 more companies. One of the original 2022 companies, TwentyTwenty Therapeutics closed its doors May 2024, and Firtility/Phoenix Biosystems has left Daybreak Labs while waiting for follow on funding. The two Kickstart recipients awarded in October 2024 have delayed starting until their initial funding raise and are not yet counted as Daybreak Labs members. As of June 2024, they have not raised sufficient money to start and are currently working while saving money and reapplying for grant and pre-seed funds.

41 Summary
i-GATE Annual Report 2023-2024
We average 50% company capacity and 26 % of our rent costs at Daybreak Labs. Four companies have moved from Daybreak Labs and are now leasing space in Livermore and Pleasanton. We also raised $25K in additional recurring funds from County Supervisor Haubert’s office.

The funding picture for early stage companies is bleak. For this reason, we applied for two prizes, the DOE EPIC Prize for our climate tech EcoIgniter Program, and the SBA Growth Accelerator Fund competition. Neither were awarded. This money would be used to offer scholarships for startups to help them cover business formation costs and basic reagents. We are seeking corporate sponsorship to cover this program, workforce development activities such as internships, and ecosystem building events and programming.

We have one key partner, Kilpatrick Townsend, who is supporting us with content and funds for lunch and learns. In addition, they have offered a Kickstart Program where they will offer free, low cost, and delayed cost legal services including company formation, IP, and stock option structuring to very early stage companies. This program is by application only. We announced 2 recipients in Oct. 2024. The first awardee will start July 8, 2024.

i-GATE Annual Report 2023-2024
Key steps to attract and support early stage science-based startups include:

Adding more equipment to support current uses and attract more biotechnology, chemistry, and engineered device companies; offering a scholarship to early stage founders so they can collect data and attract pre- seed investor money;
Acquiring or attracting second stage space for private lab space on the order of 150-3000 sq. feet for early stage companies to allow them to grow and gain independence while still using Daybreak Labs resources; Maximizing community impact through partnerships with Las Positas College to embed i-GATE activities in campus life through events, internships, and other workforce development activities.

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A GRANT
AGREEMENT WITH i-GATE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR
FISCAL YEARS 2025-2026 AND 2026-2027,
IN THE AMOUNT OF UP TO $300,000 FOR EACH FISCAL YEAR

In 20 09, the State office then known as the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GO-ED) issued a call for proposals to establish a network of innovation hubs, or “iHubs,” throughout California. The City of Livermore, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory , and Sandia National Laboratories -CA collaborated to submit a proposal that included dozens of additional partners spanning government, industry, and academia. The proposal was titled “Innovation for Green Advanced Transportation Excellence” (i-GATE) and was focused on commercialization of advanced energy and transportation technologies from Livermore’s two national labs, with a goal of high - quality job creation and investment in the local innovation economy.

The proposal was accepted by GO -ED, and i -GATE was named one of the first six iHubs under the new state program. Shortly after the designation was received, it became clear that the State did not intend to provide any financial support for the iHub program. i-GATE's local partners, including the C ity of Livermore, agreed to provide the necessary financial support to advance the initiatives and programs, particularly the establishment of an independent non -profit startup incubator called Daybreak Labs, which opened in June of 2011.

Since that time, the City has provided ongoing financial support for i -GATE's incubation and programming activities, supporting over 50 startup companies throughout the organization’s history. These activities have resulted in the creation of hundreds of jobs across the region and investment of over $440 million in follow on funding for local startups supported by Daybreak Labs. Additionally, i -GATE conducts entrepreneurial training, regional branding, and networking building activities under the banner Startup Tri-Valley.

The two-year grant agreement between i -GATE and the City for Fiscal Year s 2025-2026 and 2026 -2027 is required to financially support i -GATE’s incubation and programming activities (the “Agreement”).

The Agreement supports the City’s Economic Development Goals and Policies that seek to ensure economic vitality, attract new business, encourage an innovation economy, and create more startup activity.

The Agreement will continue to formalize roles and responsibilities of the parties, deliverables provided by i-GATE to the City, and grant activities to be completed during the grant term.

58 Rev. 04.2025 2 RESOLUTION NO. ________ NOW, THEREFORE, B E IT RESOLVED by the City Council of th e City of Livermore, that it hereby authorizes the Ci ty Manager, or her designee, to execute the Agreement with i-GATE Development Corporation, attached to this resolution as Exhibit A, for Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 in the amount of up to $300,000 for each fiscal year.

ITEM NO. 5.4

DATE:

TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Anwan Baker, Library Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing a purchase order to Baker & Taylor Books for purchases of library books and related materials in FY 2025-26, in an amount not-to-exceed $240,000.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

SUMMARY
Ordering books from Baker & Taylor Books saves significant staff time because their software closely interfaces with the Library’s Sierra Integrated Library Software (ILS). Through this interface, staff can place book orders electronically and download the catalog records that are needed to check out these books to library patrons. In addition, Baker & Taylor offers customized pre-processing of books, resulting in items being available for patrons to check out much sooner than they would be otherwise.

DISCUSSION
Baker & Taylor Books specializes in providing books for sale to libraries. This vendor has tailored its order process to make the library workflow as simple as possible. Since the Livermore Public Library (Library) purchases thousands of books each year, the order and receiving process must be simple and fast. The Library’s Sierra Integrated Library Software (ILS) includes a feature called “One-Click Marc.” With “One-Click Marc,” the Library can order materials electronically through Baker & Taylor Books and seamlessly download the catalog records needed to check out these items to library patrons. This feature saves many hours of staff time throughout the year during the order and receiving process.

In addition, Baker & Taylor Books offers customized pre-processing. This means that the Library can pay for the most popular books to arrive shelf ready, complete with Livermore Public Library labels, call number labels, and barcodes. This saves significant staff time and results in items being available for patrons to check out much sooner than they would be otherwise. 71 Per the Livermore Municipal Code (LMC) 2.68.370 noncompetitive negotiations may be used to select a vendor “where it is determined that the supplies and equipment are unique or available only from one source” or “if there is no competitive advantage to be gained by soliciting bids.” While the Library purchases materials from a variety of vendors, it saves staff time and increases patron service to purchase from Baker & Taylor Books when they have the needed items. Furthermore, Baker & Taylor Books offers libraries a significant discount, 40% off list price for most items.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

Funds for the purchase of these books and related materials are included in the FY 2025-26 budget.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A PURCHASE

ORDER WITH BAKER & TAYLOR BOOKS FOR PURCHASES OF

LIBRARY BOOKS AND RELATED MATERIALS IN AN AMOUNT
NOT-TO-EXCEED $240,000

Ordering books from Baker & Taylor Books saves significant City of Livermore (“City”) staff time because their software closely interfaces with the Livermore Public Library’s (“Library”) Sierra Integrated Library Software (ILS). Through this interface, City staff can place book or ders electronically and download the catalog records that are needed to check out these books to library patrons. In addition, Baker & Taylor Books offers customized pre-processing of books, resulting in items being available for patrons to check out much sooner than they would be able to otherwise.

The Livermore Municipal Code (LMC) 2.68.370(B) states that noncompetitive negotiations may be used to select a vendor “where it is determined that the supplies and equipment are unique or available only from o ne source” or “if there is no competitive advantage to be gained by soliciting bids.”

While the Library purchases materials from a variety of vendors, it saves City staff time and increases patron service to purchase from Baker & Taylor Books when they have the desired items. Furthermore, Baker & Taylor Books offers libraries a 40% discount off the list price for most items.

NOW, THEREFORE, B E IT RESOLVED by the City Council of th e City of Livermore, that it hereby:

1. Authorizes the City Manager to execut e a purchase order between the City of Livermore and Baker & Taylor Books for the purchase of books and related materials for circulation to the public in fiscal year 202 5-26, in an amount not- to-exceed $240,000.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution establishing the Appropriations Limit consistent with State law for FY 2025-

26. RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution establishing the Appropriations Limit for FY 2025-

26. SUMMARY
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, restricts the amount of government revenues defined as “proceeds of taxes” which may be appropriated in any fiscal year. The Article allows adjustments to the limit for cost of living and population changes. The City’s FY 2025-26 annual appropriation limit is $472,441,631. The City’s appropriations subject to the limit are $135.4 million which is well below the calculated $472.4 million. Adoption of the resolution will approve the City’s FY 2025-26 annual appropriation limit of $472,441,631.

DISCUSSION
Article XIII B of the California State Constitution was approved by California voters effective in 1980. Also known as the Gann Spending-Limitation Initiative, this article is actually a limitation on tax revenues rather than a direct limitation on appropriations. All proceeds from taxes received in excess of the appropriations limit are required to be returned through refund or revisions in tax rates.

The City of Livermore’s Appropriations Limit is based upon FY 1978-79 appropriations which have been adjusted each year based on changes in population and inflation factors. Effective in FY 1990-91, Proposition 111 and SB 88 (Chapter 60/90) modified the manner in which the Appropriations Limit is calculated by providing alternative adjustment factors intended to make the Appropriations Limit more responsive to local growth issues and requires the annual election of a cost-of-living adjustment factor and a population factor. The population factors may be either the change in city population or change in county population. The cost-of-living factors may be either the change in California per capita income or the change in City of Livermore non-residential new construction valuation. Typically, an agency selects 75 the factors which provide for the largest growth to the limit.

Staff calculated the City’s FY 2025-26 appropriations limit using inflation and population factors provided by the California State Department of Finance and the City’s property tax consultants, HDL. For FY 2025-26, staff chose the County’s change in population as it is larger than that change within the City.

Staff chose the percentage change in California’s per capita income as the cost-of-living factor because it exceeded the City’s change in assessed value of new non-residential construction in the preceding year.

Based on the above calculation factors, the Limit of Appropriations for FY 2025-26 is $472,441,631.

Appropriations subject to this limit are $135,417,087. A summary of the city’s appropriation limit, population, and cost-of-living factors over the last twenty years is provided in Exhibit A of the resolution.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

There is no budget impact associated with the recommendation. The FY 2025-26 adopted expenditure budget is well within the Appropriation Limit of $472,441,631 .

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA

A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26

The Gann Limit initiative approved by the voters of the State of California on November 6, 1979 , and a subsequent amendment approved by the voters on June 6, 1990, ( Propositions 4 and 111 , respectively, codified as Government Code Sections 7900, et seq. ), place various limitations on the fiscal powers of state and local government. As a result, the governing body of each local jurisdiction must establish an annual appropriations limit.

Government Code Section 7901(b) provides that the City Council may choose to use the change i n population within the City of Livermore (“City”) or within Alameda County to calculate the appropriations limit.

Furthermore, California Constitution Article XIII B, Section 8(e)(2) provides that the City Council must select either of the following to calculate the change in cost of living to be used to determine the appropriations limit:

1. The percentage change in California per capita personal income from the preceding year; or

2. The percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year for the City due to the addition of local non-residential new construction.

As required by Government Code Section 7910, the City posted public notice of its intent to adopt a resolution establishing an appropriations limit at its regula rly scheduled meeting on Ju ne 23, 2025. The public notice stated that the documentation used to determine the appropriations limit was available for public inspection.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that:

1. The change in population within the County of Ala meda was selected to calculate the City’s appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2025-26;

2. The percentage change in California per capita personal income from the preceding year was selected to calculate the City’s appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2025-26; and

3. Using the formula set forth in Government Code section 7900, et seq., the appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 20 25-26 for the City of Liver more is established at $472,441,631 as set forth in Exhibit A, attached to this resolution. 77 2 RESOLUTION NO.________

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.7

DATE:

June 23, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. for Geographic Information System (GIS) Strategic Plan implementation and GIS services for three years in an amount not-to-exceed $399,773.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

SUMMARY
The proposed agreement provides ongoing ArcGIS Enterprise services for the City's GIS database and system administration. This includes new development/deployment of public facing and internal hub sites, public facing asset web maps and applications, as well as developing GIS information prioritized in the GIS Strategic Plan. The proposed agreement covers three-years through the end of the Fiscal Year 2027-28 with a not-to-exceed total of $399,773. Staff recommends that Council adopt a resolution authorizing execution of an agreement for consulting services with HDR Engineering, Inc.

DISCUSSION
The City's GIS platform supports critical services for many departments, including Fire, Police, Economic Development, Community Development, and Public Works. It significantly reduces staff time and ensures timely information is available for emergencies, disaster recovery, routine customer requests, and city planning. The system provides detailed information on street right-of-way, easements, property lines, and utility infrastructure, among others. Multiple departments rely on GIS for planning, engineering, infrastructure maintenance, emergency response, and disaster recovery. Maintaining the integrity and functionality of this data is crucial.

To stay current and accessible to the public, the City is modernizing and transforming its outdated GIS technology. This includes implementing the GIS Strategic Plan recommendations, redesigning GIS tools 211
for various departments, and developing new public-facing applications. HDR Engineering, Inc. will assist in these efforts, ensuring that the City's GIS remains a centralized and accessible resource for both staff and the public. Staff is recommending the execution of a new contract with HDR Engineering, Inc. through June 30, 2028.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The agreement for professional services between the City of Livermore and HDR Engineering, Inc. includes a not-to-exceed amount of $399,773 over three years. All costs associated with the proposed contract are included in the current Information Technology Division’s budget.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.8

DATE:

June 23, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution approving the updated Investment Policy and the annual delegation of investment authority to the City Treasurer.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the updated Investment Policy and the annual delegation of investment authority to the City Treasurer.

SUMMARY
The City’s adopted Investment Policy states that the City Council shall approve any modifications to the policy. There are no proposed changes to the authorized investments this year. Staff have added performance benchmarks tied to the 1-year and 5-year averages of the Treasury yield. In addition, under the State law the City Council can delegate the investment authority to the City Treasurer for a one-year period; the delegation requires renewal each year.

DISCUSSION
California Government Code Sections 53600 through 53659 defines the types of investments that municipal government can include in their portfolio, limits on the level of these investments, and the oversight required for the portfolio. The Investment Policy establishes strategies, practices, and procedures which are used in the administration of the City’s portfolio.

Staff has reviewed the proposed policy for consistency with State law and the City’s current investment strategies. There are proposed minor changes to the City’s investment policy. The changes outlined below will allow the City’s staff to evaluate the performance of the portfolio compared to benchmarks representing the 1-year and 5-year average of the Treasury yield.

1 .

The 1-year Treasury yield average is a good leading indicator of the return that can be expected for new investments. It can be used to show if market yields are rising or falling. 2 .

The 5-year Treasury yield average is a good indicator of the overall performance of the entire portfolio. It can be used to determine if the portfolio is outperforming or underperforming the 236
benchmark.

The State of California gives the City Council, in its capacity as the legislative body of the City and its related entities, the ability to delegate the investment authority to the City Treasurer (acting in the capacities of City Treasurer and treasurer of the City's related entities) for a one-year period in accordance with Section 53607 of the California Government Code. The delegation requires renewal each year.

On April 25, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-062, determining that the person serving as the Administrative Services Director shall also serve as the City Treasurer and appointing the person holding the title of Administrative Services Director for the City of Livermore to serve as the City Treasurer.

The delegation of investment authority and responsibility from the City Council to the Administrative Services Director/City Treasurer will allow the Administrative Services Department to continue the prudent investment of the City’s pooled treasury funds and the effective and efficient support of the City’s efforts to meet its cash flow needs.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

There are no fiscal implications associated with the recommended action.

I. POLICY INTRODUCTION

Monies not required for immediat e expenditure by the City of Li vermore shall be invested in compliance with governing provisions of law and this policy. The City will maintain adequate cash availability and strive for a yield on inve sted idle funds which is commensurate with the objectives of safety of principal and liquidity.

II. SCOPE

This investment policy applies to all financial assets under direct control of the City of Livermore.

These funds are accounted for in the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and include the General Fund, Special Revenue F unds, Capital Project Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, certain Trust and Agency Funds, and other funds that may be created from time to time.

This policy does not apply to investment activities of moneys held by a section 115 Trust for pension or other retirement benefits (OPEB). The City opened a combo 115 Trust in December of 2023 for both pension and OPEB benefits. Those funds are held by a truste e or fiscal agent and follow different guidelines for allowable investments for assets held in 115 Trusts due to their longer investment timeframe.

This policy does not apply to investment activities of moneys held by a trustee or fiscal agent and pledged to the payment or security of bonds or other indebtedness, or obligations under a lease, installment sale, or certificates of participation. Such funds are invested in accordance with the statutory provisions governing the issuance, or if there are no specific statutory provisions in accordance with the ordinance, resolution, indentur e, or agreement of the City providing for the issuance. These funds are identified in the Bala nce Sheet/Statement of Net Position and in the notes to the Financial Statements of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report as “Cash and Investments with Trustee”.

III. PRUDENCE

The City adheres to the guidance provided by the "prudent investor standard," which obligates a trustee acting as a fiduciary to ensure that when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall ac t with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumst ances then prevailing, includ ing, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims , to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Exercise of prudence considers the probable safety of capital as well as the probable income to be derived.

This standard of prudence shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio.

Investment officials acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal res ponsibility for an individual security's credit risk or mark et price changes, provided that deviations from expectation are reported in a timely fashion, and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

IV. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of Livermore's investment activities shall be:

 Safety of principal is the primary objec tive of the investment program.

Investments of the C ity of Livermore shal l be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether they be from credit risk or market risk. To attain this objective, the portfolio will be diversified to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable ri sks associated with conc entrating investments in specific security types, maturity segments, or in individual financial institutions.

 Liquidity of the portfolio guarantees the City's ability to meet all operating requirements which might reasonably be anticipated.

 Return on Investment. The City of Livermore's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaini ng a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio. Compliance with the investment policy does not measure retu rn but rather manages risk. Policy compliance does not provide a benchmark to meet or exceed. However, the City will analyze the yield of the portfolio over time compared to an agreed upon rolling average of the 1-year and 5-year Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) rates.

V. AUTHORITY TO INVEST MONIES

Pursuant to Chapter 2.28 of the Livermore M unicipal Code, the Director of Administrative Services is authorized to assume and perform al l municipal functions relating to investments of the City subject to the annual delegation of investment authority from the City Council to the City Treasurer pursuant to Government Code section 53607.

No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Director of Administrative Services.

VI. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Officers and employees involved in the investment process shal l refrain from pe rsonal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment deci sions. Investment officials shall disclose any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduc t business within the City and they shall further disclose any material personal financial or investment positions that could be ATTACHMENT 1

related to the performance of the City's portfo lio. All persons authorized to place or approve investments shall report annually on Form 700 of the California Fair Political Practices Commission all required economic interests for that year.

I. POLICY INTRODUCTION

Monies not required for immediate expenditure by the City of Livermore shall be invested in compliance with governing provisions of law and this policy.

The City will maintain adequate
cash availability and strive for a yield on invested idle funds which is commensurate with the objectives of safety of principal and liquidity.

II. SCOPE

This investment policy applies to all financial assets under direct control of the City of Livermore.

These funds are accounted for in the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, certain Trust and Agency Funds, and other funds that may be created from time to time.

This policy does not apply to investment activities of moneys held by a section 115 Trust for pension or other retirement benefits (OPEB). The City opened a combo 115 Trust in December of 2023 for both pension and OPEB benefits. Those funds are he ld by a trustee or fiscal agent and follow different guidelines for allowable investments for assets held in 115 Trusts due to their longer investment timeframe.

This policy does not apply to investment activities of moneys held by a trustee or fiscal agent and pledged to the payment or security of bonds or other indebtedness, or obligations under a lease, installment sale, or certificates of participation. Such funds are invested in accordance with the statutory provisions governing the issuance, or if there are no specific statutory provisions in accordance with the ordinance, resolution, indenture, or agreement of the City providing for the issuance. These funds are identified in the Balance Sheet/Statement of Net Position and in the notes to the Financial Statements of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report as “Cash and Investments with Trustee”.

III. PRUDENCE

The City adheres to the guidance provided by the "prudent investor standard," which obligates a trustee acting as a fiduciary to ensure that when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Exercise of prudence considers the probable safety of capital as well as the probable income to be derived.

This standard of prudence shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio.

Investment officials acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided that deviations from expectation are reported in a timely fashion, and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

IV. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of Livermore's investment activities shall be:

x Safety of principal is the primary objective of the investment program.

Investments of the City of Livermore shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether they be from credit risk or market risk. To attain this objective, the portfolio will be diversified to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks associated with concentrating investments in specific security types, maturity segments, or in individual financial institutions.

x Liquidity of the portfolio guarantees the City's ability to meet all operating requirements which might reasonably be anticipated.

x Return on Investment. The City of Livermore's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio. Compliance with the investment policy does not measure return but rather manages risk. Policy compliance does not provide a benchmark to meet or exceed. However, the City will analyze the yield of the portfolio over time compared to an agreed upon rolling average of the 1-year and 5-year Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) rates.

V. AUTHORITY TO INVEST MONIES

Pursuant to Chapter 2.28 of the Livermore Municipal Code, the Director of Administrative Services is authorized to assume and perform all municipal functions relating to investments of the City subject to the annual delegation of investment authority from the City Council to the City Treasurer pursuant to Government Code section 53607. The Director of Administrative Services serves as the City Treasurer pursuant to the City of Livermore Resolution No. 2022- 062.

The Director of Administrative Services shall establish written procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this policy. The City Treasurer/Director of Administrative Services may delegate the authority to conduct investment transactions and to manage the operation of the investment portfolio to other specifically authorized staff members. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Director of Administrative Services.

VI. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Investment officials shall disclose any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct business within the City and they shall further disclose any material personal financial or investment positions that could be

related to the perfor mance of the City's portfolio. All pe rsons authorized to place or approve investments shall report annually on Form 700 of the California Fair Political Practices Commission all required economic interests for that year.

VII. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL DEALERS & INSTITUTIONS

In order to provide for the optimum yield in the investment of the City funds, the City's investment procedures shall be designed to encourage competitive bidding on transactions from approved financial dealers and institutions.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.9

DATE:

June 23, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing the allocation and appropriation of Community Development Block Grant and Home Investment Partnership Grant Funds in the total amount of $1,041,020 for Fiscal Years 2025-27 and authorizing the execution of documents required to receive, use, and distribute funds.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Community Development Block Grant Funds in the amount of $793,816 2 .

Home Investment Partnership Funds in the amount of $247,204

SUMMARY
Each year, the City of Livermore brings together multiple funding sources to support capital projects and public service programs benefiting low-income Livermore households that are consistent with the goals and priorities as outlined in the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan. These funding sources include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These federal dollars are leveraged with the City's local resources.

On March 11, 2025, the Human Services Commission approved funding recommendations in the estimated total amount of $2,074,878 from the federal grants, CDBG and HOME, as well as local funding from the Human Services Facility Fee, Affordable Housing In-Lieu, and Social Opportunity Endowment funds.

On April 28, 2025, Council approved recommendations for the local funding, which included the Human Services Facility Fee, Affordable Housing In-Lieu and Social Opportunity Endowment funds in the total amount of $1,078,500 over two years.
278

On May 13, 2025, City staff was informed by HUD that FY 2025-26 entitlement for CDBG is $396,908, which is an increase of 4% from the previous year. The HOME allocation, awarded to the City through the Alameda County HOME Consortium, is $123,602 in FY 2025-26, which is a 5.5% increase from the previous year. The recommended federal grant allocations attached to the resolution as Exhibit A, are adjusted based on the actual federal funding awards to be received.

DISCUSSION
Grant Allocation Process

On September 10, 2024, the Human Services Commission recommended four funding priorities for the FY 2025-27 Housing and Human Services Grant Cycle. The four priorities included: Housing Services; Homeless Services; Health Care Services; Service Provision, Awareness, and Navigation. Council approved the four priorities on October 28, 2024.

As part of a regional coordinated effort to allocate funds to local agencies, staff worked with the Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton to make changes to the grant program, which included moving to a two-year grant cycle starting in FY 2025-26. A joint Tri-Valley Grant Application for the two-year grant cycle, which was released on November 25, 2024, and application requests were due to the City on January 17, 2025, and submitted electronically through an online grant application program.

All applicants were required to make a presentation and responded to questions regarding their grant application at a Joint Special Human Services Commission meeting on February 11, 2025, held in Dublin. Following the joint meeting, the Human Services Commission evaluated and scored all grant applications by non-profit and public agencies submitted to the City. Through the online grant application program, the average score of each application was calculated as the basis for staff to subsequently provide the Commission with funding recommendations. The Commission reviewed and approved the proposed funding recommendations during their regular meeting on March 11, 2025.

The City has traditionally allocated federal and local funds through the Housing and Human Services Grant Program to eligible public and non-profit agencies that provide housing and services. For FY 2025- 27, the City’s Housing and Human Services Grant Program received 31 applications from 24 agencies requesting $3,075,658 in grant funding. For FY 2025-27, there is an estimated $793,816 in CDBG funding, an estimated $247,204 in HOME funding, $182,000 in Human Services Facility Fee Funding, $652,000 in Affordable Housing In-Lieu funding, and $244,500 in Social Opportunity Endowment (SOE) funding over the two-year grant cycle that is being recommended to fund 15 projects (10 organizations), Section 108 Loans, and Administration for a total of $2,119,520.

Due to the uncertainty of the federal budget, the Human Services Commission and staff recommendations for CDBG and HOME were estimates and were not included in the City Council’s recommendations for approval in April. On May 13, 2025, City staff was informed by HUD that FY 2025- 26 allocation for CDBG was $396,908, which is an increase of 4% from the previous year. The HOME grant, which is awarded to the City through the Alameda County HOME Consortium, received an 279
allocation of $123,602 in FY 2025-26 grant funding, which is a 5.5% increase from the previous year.

The attached federal grant allocations in Exhibit A to the resolution are adjusted grant awards based on the final grant allocations received and are recommended for approval.

A detailed description of each funding source with the recommendations is described below:

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds $793,816 ($396,908 for FY 2025-26 and an estimate of $396,908 for FY 2026-27):

Federal CDBG funds originate as an entitlement grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Program regulations require that CDBG entitlement fund programs address one of three national objectives: (1) assisting low-income persons, (2) eliminating slum and blighted property, or (3) meeting needs created by a national emergency. The City must annually report to HUD how each organization receiving CDBG funding meets at least one of the three national objectives as well as all other HUD and Office of Management and Budget program guidelines. HUD restricts the amount of CDBG funds a jurisdiction can allocate within a specific program area. The City may allocate up to 15 percent of the entitlement amount to public services that support operational costs and provide supportive safety net services to low-income persons, and 20 percent for administration of the program.

For FY 2025-27, three projects, three section 108 loan repayments, and administration costs are recommended for funding:

Home Investment Partnership Program Funds $247,204 ($123,602 for FY 2025-26 and an estimate of $123,602 for FY 2026-27):

Like CDBG, the HOME Program also has restrictive program allocation guidelines. Projects funded with 280
HOME dollars are limited to activities that either create or preserve housing opportunities. Eligible activities include acquisition, residential rehabilitation, new residential construction, homebuyer assistance, and tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) that benefit low-income persons. HOME funds are allocated to the City through the Alameda County HOME Consortium. For FY 2025-27, two projects and administration costs are recommended for funding:

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.1

DATE:

June 23, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Hearing to consider a resolution approving the FY 2025-29 Consolidated Plan, the FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan, and the Citizen Participation Plan; authorizing submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and authorizing execution of associated documents.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Human Services Commission and staff recommend the City Council adopt a resolution:
1 .

SUMMARY
The City of Livermore is the recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These dollars are used to fund programs and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income residents and to help prevent or eliminate slums and blight. As a condition of funding, the City is required to prepare a Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) and Annual Action Plan.
289

The FY 2025-29 Con Plan sets forth broad policy goals and the City’s plan for addressing the identified needs using CDBG and HOME funds over the next five years. The Annual Action Plan outlines the amount of funding that will be allocated to activities for the period covering July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026, to help meet the goals listed in the Con Plan. The FY 2025-26 Action Plan will allocate $396,908 in CDBG entitlements and $123,602 in HOME funds, for a total of $520,510.

DISCUSSION
FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and the FY 2025-26 Action Plan The Con Plan establishes a comprehensive five-year vision for the housing, community development, and human services needs for the City. The purpose of the Con Plan is to build a viable community with decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for persons with low-to-moderate income levels. The development of the plan is a collaborative process. Through a community meeting and a stakeholder survey, the City consulted with community-based service providers and residents to help establish priority needs and objectives proposed in the Con Plan. The 2024 Eastern Alameda County Needs Assessment as well as input from and the Human Services Commission was used to develop goals and priorities listed in this document.

The Action Plan identifies federal, state, and local resources available to the City of Livermore that will be utilized to meet the priorities established in the Consolidated Plan. Priorities and goals identified in the Action Plan will support a continuum of programs that help low-income, underserved Livermore families achieve a goal of self-sufficiency. Also included in the Action Plan are programs to support a continuum of housing resources to assist low-income renters and homeowners, persons experiencing homelessness and/or persons at risk of homelessness, and to reduce incidents of housing discrimination through education on fair housing laws.

On May 13, 2025, City staff was informed by HUD that FY 2025-26 allocation for CDBG was $396,908, which is an increase of 4% from the previous year. The HOME grant, awarded to the City through the Alameda County HOME Consortium, will allocate $123,602 in FY 2025-26 grant funding, which is a 5.5% increase from the previous year. The FY 2025-26 Action Plan includes two tenant based rental assistance programs, payment on three Section 108 loans, a public service project, and administration for the CDBG and HOME program as outlined in the chart below:

Citizen Participation Plan

Along with the five-year Con Plan, the City is required to submit a Citizen Participation Plan to HUD. The Citizen Participation Plan is a tool to encourage residents to become involved in the development of the plans and documents that outline the housing and community development needs, goals, objectives and activities. The Citizen Participation Plan describes the development process of the Five-Year Con Plan, Annual Action Plans, Substantial Amendments to these plans, the Citizen Participation Plan, Section 108 Guaranteed Loans, and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The Citizen Participation Plan was updated by staff in May 2025 to ensure the information and requirements are relevant and current.

Public Review and Comment:

The FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan and the Citizen Participation Plan has been available for public review for a 30-day public comment period beginning on May 23, 2025, as required by HUD.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

Funding for the projects and/or programs identified in the Action Plan will be made available through federal CDBG funding (Fund 224) in the amount of $396,908 and federal HOME funding (Fund 224) in the amount of $123,602 in FY 2025-26. Administrative costs associated with preparation and execution of the FY 2025-29 Consolidated Plan, the FY 2025-26 Action Plan, the Citizen Participation Plan, and the required environmental review are reimbursed through the City’s CDBG and/or HOME entitlement allocations.

Executive Summary

1. Introduction

This Five-Year Strategic Plan sets forth objectives and actions in priority housing and non-housing community development areas for the City of Livermore’s low- and moderate-income residents and neighborhoods. This Plan is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a condition of federal funding, including but not limited to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME funds. This Plan sets forth the anticipated uses of all federal resources for the period covering July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030 (FY 2025-26 through FY 2029- 30). The City anticipates receiving CDBG entitlement funds worth $1,984,540 over this period.

This Plan is submitted through the Alameda County HOME Consortium, as the lead agency for receiving HOME funds for the City of Livermore and other participating jurisdictions. In the City of Livermore, all CDBG-funded activities are used according to the national objectives for the program:

• to benefit low- and moderate-income persons,
• to prevent or eliminate slums or blight, or
• to meet an urgent need that poses an immediate threat to health and safety.

In FY 2025-26, the City of Livermore’s allocation for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is $396,908 and $123,602 of federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds through the Alameda County HOME Consortium.

In preparing the FY 2025–2029 Strategic Plan, the City consulted with community-based service providers, residents, and the Human Services Commission. These entities helped to establish priority needs and objectives and developed strategies in the form of projects and activities to further those objectives.

The City
of Livermore’s Human Services Commission (HSC) acknowledged that Housing Services, Homeless Services, Health Care Services and Service Provision, Awareness and Navigation Services are the top housing and community development needs in Livermore.

In addition, the City held a public meeting and released a c ommunity survey to gather community input regarding housing and community development needs. Through the data collection and public participation efforts the following goals are being prioritized for federal funding for FY 2025-2029:

3. Evaluation of past performance

Accomplishments and an evaluation of the prior year’s activities related to the FY 2020-2024 Consolidated plan are included in the annual HUD-approved Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPER). For FY 2023-24, the CAPER was completed in September 2024 and FY 2024- 25 will be completed in September 2025.

Subrecipients submitted quarterly progress reports for all Human Services grant-funded activities which allows the evaluation of project performance. In addition, the HSC held an annual public meeting to review the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER). Staff reviews the agencies' programmatic and fiscal management performance, and this information is factored into the Human Services Commission’s discussion of the implementation of the annual application process and the recommendations for project funding to the City Council.

4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process

HUD requires jurisdictions to have a Citizen Participation Plan that details public input and the noticing process for the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, Substantial Amendments, and the CAPER.

The Five-Year Strategic Plan and Annual Action Plan needs and priorities are based on information developed and compiled from public and nonprofit partner agencies and from the public. The Five- Year Strategic Plan and Annual Action Plan are important documents for the HOME Consortium. Built on interagency coordination, consultation, and public participation, both plans focus attention on housing and community development needs and resources available to meet these needs.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).

The City actively works with numerous affordable housing developers, community-based organizations, governmental agencies, healthcare institutions, and education providers through funding partnerships and coordination meetings to continually enhance collaboration and identify new partnership opportunities.

Activities to address the housing needs of the homeless, extremely low-income persons with severe mental illness, and those living with HIV/AIDS center on the implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan throughout Alameda County, which is a unique collaboration among community stakeholders, cities, and Alameda County government agencies representing three separate care systems: homeless services, and mental health services that share overlapping client populations.

In addition, the cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton partnered with Axis Community Health to develop and fund a Mental Health Urgent Care program. Axis Bridge Mental Health Urgent Care program is available to all members of the community, regardless of income or insurance status. Individuals and families with urgent mental health needs can call for timely access to immediate services. The Axis Bridge program serves as a central entry point for assessment, triage, treatment, and care coordination for anyone seeking mental health treatment, regardless of insurance type or status. Like a medical urgent care setting, the Center provides an assessment and timely connection to services in a setting that is less costly to operate than an emergency department.

The City works in close coordination with the Housing Authority of the City of Livermore (LHA) to support the utilization of the Section 8 Program and other special-designation voucher programs in Livermore. The City supported LHA’s application to HUD to become a “Move to Work” designated agency. The City and LHA continued to partner with non-profit services providers and the Livermore school district on the implementation of a supportive housing program at Leahy Square for families exiting homelessness, funded through the State’s Family Homeless Challenge Grant.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness

Through coordination with Alameda County departments, local jurisdictions, East County service providers, community groups, and residents, the City has identified a broad range of housing and social service needs within Livermore. Organizations serving the homeless, including Alameda County Health Office of Homeless Care and Coordination, Alameda County Health Care for the Homeless, EveryOne Home, and local homeless service providers, advise on the needs of people experiencing homelessness.

The EveryOne Home collective impact initiative, which also functions as the Alameda County Homeless Continuum of Care, is supported by a community-based backbone organization, and guided by a Leadership Board comprised of jurisdictional appointed members and key community constituencies such as people with lived experience, city representatives, nonprofit service providers and housing developers, businesses, law enforcement, housing authorities, and faith-based organizations.

The City of Livermore is supportive of the EveryOne Home initiatives to establish equitable system-wide outcomes and to evaluate the effectiveness of programs against those outcomes. The key is to allow each City to align the plan with the local strategies to address homelessness. The updated EveryOne Home plan includes pursuing strategies which prevent people from becoming homeless, expand affordable housing, offer critical interventions that ensure the safety and dignity of people living without housing, and urgently reduce homelessness in our most impacted and vulnerable communities.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City of Livermore is not an entitlement jurisdiction for ESG funding.

There are many goals and priorities that align related to the needs in Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton.

The three cities regularly meet and collaborate on efforts to assess and develop capacity building for the Tri-Valley services providers within the three cities. The three cities combined the allocation of the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Funds to implement crisis stabilization services as a Tri-Valley Region and collaborate on a Joint Human Services Grant Program for the non-profits. In addition, the three cities finished the 2024 Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment. The updated assessment will provide a strategic framework to provide safety net services for Tri-Valley residents.

The City is part of the Alameda County Home Consortium, led by Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department Agency (HCD). The consortium consists of the cities of Alameda, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Pleasanton, Union City, San Leandro, and the Urban County (which encompasses small cities and the unincorporated areas of Alameda County). Together, the consortium members coordinate strategies to address regional housing and community development priorities through bi-monthly meetings.

The consortium also met during the development of the Consolidated Plan to share data, establish goals, and align funding strategies.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal setting The City’s citizen participation process is designed to enhance public engagement in the planning and allocation of CDBG and HOME funds in compliance with HUD regulations. The process includes public meetings, one of which was held to discuss the planning process prior to the publication of the City’s draft plan for public comment. The City also conducted a stakeholder survey to gather input from the community regarding needs, goals, and objectives for the Consolidated Plan. All notices are published in the local newspaper, on the City’s website, and emailed to the Human Services distribution list to reach a wide range of residents and non-profit providers. The notification for the informational meeting and the stakeholder survey were also published on the City’s social media platforms to further broaden citizen participation.

On May 21, 2025, the City published a public hearing notice advising the public of a public hearing on June 23, 2025, regarding the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and updated Citizen Participation Plan, as well as seeking and encouraging public comment regarding housing and community development needs identified in the Plan. The 30-day public comment period was from May 23 to June 23, 2025. All public notices are published in the local newspaper and translated into Spanish for publication in non-English language newspapers. The notice was also published on the City’s website (www.livermoreca.gov/humanservices), emailed to the Human Services distribution list, and posted at the City’s Multi-Service Center (3311 Pacific Avenue, Livermore).

On June 23, 2025, the City Council heard public comments and held a public hearing on the Consolidated

Plan, Annual Action Plan, and the updated Citizen Participation Plan.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview

The Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan identifies Livermore’s priority needs in affordable housing, homelessness, supportive housing, and community development. Through community meetings, surveys, and public comments, the City determined the highest priority needs. The City will allocate CDBG funds to programs and projects addressing these priorities during the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030.

The City invited residents, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders to participate in a community meeting and an online survey to determine the City’s most pressing needs. Other outreach efforts included a broad range of outreach while undertaking the process of updating the Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment, staff tabling at local community events throughout the year, and input from the Human Services Commission.

Priority Needs Summary:
• Top Housing Needs identified: Senior Housing, Affordable Rental Housing, and Down Payment Assistance.
• Top Community Facility Improvement Needs identified: Child Care Centers, Youth Centers, Senior Centers, Emergency Shelters, Social Service Centers, and Health Care Facilities. • Top Public Service Needs identified: Job training and/or Placement, Services for Seniors, Services and Shelter for Homeless People, and Food or Meals for Low-Income Residents • Top Homeless Service Needs identified: Transitional Housing, Permanent Housing, and Increased Emergency Shelter Space.
• Top Economic Development Needs identified: Employment Training and Job Resource/Creation Services.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs - 91.415, 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:

The City places importance on public facility improvements, particularly in areas that benefit low-income residents. Throughout the needs assessment process, there have been a variety of sources that helped identify the need for Public Facilities.

The City continually is looking for ways to address public facility needs. In 2024, Vineyard Resource Center opened. The resource center created 23 new, permanent supportive housing units for people experiencing homelessness (plus one on-site resident manager’s unit) and has a year-round 30-bed temporary shelter for homeless individuals. They City also developed plans to renovate the Multi-Service Center, which is home to seven non-profit agencies, and acts as a central location for people to receive healthcare, housing navigation, and homeless services.

Continuing to address the public facility needs will create a more resilient community to meet the needs of all residents in the future.

How were these needs determined?

The City of Livermore conducted a Human Services Facility Assessment in 2024, which identified Childcare, Community Care and Senior Services Facilities as a priority need. The 2 024 Eastern Alameda County Needs Assessment identified the need for Health Care Facilities (including Mental Health and Substance Abuse Facilities), Child Care Centers, and Youth Centers. In additional to the facilities mentioned already, the needs assessment survey identified Emergency Shelters and Social Service Centers as additional needs.

Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements:

The City’s 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Plan details the public improvements needed and includes projects that support the General Plan, Specific Plans, and Neighborhood Areas. ADA access ramps installations, curb and gutter replacement, median rehabilitation, and bike lane improvements are included in the plan. The sidewalks and streets within the City’s main target areas remain a focus for rehabilitation. By repairing and upgrading sidewalks, streets, and bike lines, it will increase the ability of families to safely walk their children to school as well as obtain other basic services in LMI areas.

How were these needs determined?

These needs were identified through the Engineering and Public Works Division staff and feedback from the public.

Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services:

Lack of sufficient funding is the major obstacle the City faces in achieving its public services objectives.

For the FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 two-year grant program, the City received requests of $1,502,082 for public services. Using CDBG and other local funding sources, such as SOE and General Fund, the City will only be able to fund 33%, or approximately $553,000, of the public service grant request. Every year the City receives more public service grant requests compared to the prior year. Non-profit organizations dedicate significant time to organizing fundraising events, soliciting donations, and seeking private grants but even with these efforts, local agencies do not have enough funding for staffing and other basic costs of operating. In addition, demand for basic safety net services has increased exponentially.

How were these needs determined?

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s population estimates, the City of Livermore experienced an estimated population decrease of 3.5% between 2020-2024. In 2024, the population estimates started to increase and are expected to continue an upward trend over the next five years. The increase in population will bring an increased need for more affordable housing.

The City of Livermore, like much of the Bay Area, faces significant housing challenges characterized by rising cost, limited supply, and increasing affordability concerns. The affordability gap is widening due to consistent price increases in both rental and homeownership markets which outpace wage increases for lower income workers. The number of households with cost burdens and other housing problems continues to rise, and the City is facing a need for affordable housing for families, seniors aging in place, people with disabilities, and unsheltered neighbors. Other pressing housing needs include rehabilitation of the aging housing stock, retaining the existing affordable housing stock, and supportive services that help community members obtain and maintain affordable housing.

According to the 2024 Eastern Alameda County Needs Assessment, the rate of home ownership in Livermore is

72.3% and rentership is 27.7%. The rate of home ownership is significantly higher than the average home ownership rate in Alameda County and the rate for rentership is considerably lower than the average in rentership in Alameda County. The rate of people who are cost burdened for homeowners is estimated to be

27.7% and for renters is 49.9%. The Livermore Housing Element also indicated the cost burden rate for renters is significantly higher than for homeowners. A very low-income household of four in Livermore can afford $1,946 in rent per month, however, with fair market rents averaging $2,849 for a two-bedroom unit, these households cannot afford average market-rate rentals without facing cost burden issues.

As a result of increasing market rents and limited access to living wage employment, the number of persons experiencing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness, in Livermore is continuing to grow. In addition to the need for short-term interventions that ensure the safety and dignity of people living without housing, Alameda County’s plan to end homelessness identifies the expansion of permanent affordable housing as the most critical need for ending homelessness.

The City is focusing on expanding affordable housing development and preserving existing units. Through collaboration with regional partners like the Alameda County HOME Consortium, the City plans to add over 300 new deeply affordable units in the next five years. Regional initiatives, like the “HOME Together 2026” plan, aim to reduce homelessness and enhance housing stability.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction?

Long a scientific and industrial innovator, Livermore is becoming increasingly absorbed into the broader San Francisco Bay Area innovation ecosystem. This means successfully competing in a global marketplace with access to talent, capital, and resources, but it also means increased in- and out- migration as workers in the Central Valley seek higher wages in Livermore and Livermore residents do the same in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and Oakland.

According to the Business Activity tables above using data from the US Census’ 2016-2020 American Community Survey, the Professional, Scientific, and Management Services sectors are the predominant employment sectors in Livermore, making up more than 21% of the city’s workers and jobs. The Education and Healthcare S ervices, M anufacturing, and R etail S ectors also have a significant employment presence in Livermore.

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:

The City of Livermore’s 2020-2025 Economic Development Strategic Plan identified transit and workforce recruitment and retention as key challenges for the local business community. Major employers who were interviewed identified the lack of transit options and regional congestion on the Altamont Pass and along Highways 84, 580, and 680 as barriers to doing business. Housing supply, traffic congestion, and relatively lower wages were identified as factors that present a challenge to recruiting and retaining workers.

Furth
ermore, the City’s 2019 economic development survey identified transit options and BART, parks or facilities for youth activities, higher quality hotels, and affordable housing as things that Livermore is missing. Downtown was also heavily emphasized, with many survey respondents stating their desire to see a completed downtown along with more parking and improved bike and pedestrian access.

Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.

In October 2021, the City Council appointed a General Plan Advisory Committee to work with City staff on updating Livermore’s General Plan, which guides City decisions about transportation, jobs, housing, parks, shopping, services, and more. This comprehensive update will guide the city’s growth through the year 2045, with a focus on land use, transportation, sustainability, and the conservation of resources and open space.

Over the past three and a half years, the Advisory Committee has reviewed and recommended updates to the Community Vision, land use designations, goals, and policies for consideration by the Planning City of Livermore

DRAFT

Commission and City Council. City staff are currently preparing a draft General Plan Update, which will be presented to the General Plan Advisory Committee in summer 2025. A public draft will be released in fall 2025 for community review, feedback, and questions. Following community outreach and additional input from the Advisory Committee, the final General Plan Update will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for adoption.

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
Many of Livermore’s most common positions require significant levels of formal education and training.

While Livermore’s population is highly educated, many community members do not have the college or high school degree needed to access higher paying occupations. The Bay Area’s uneven labor market means that education levels do not necessarily correspond with available job opportunities. Regionally, high wage occupation categories are growing the most, but low-wage occupation categories have the largest number of jobs in total.

The 2024 Eastern Alameda County Needs Assessment identified the need for adult education and vocational skills development particularly for those without high school and college degrees. Another gap is insufficient childcare options for low-income families, which disproportionately impacts low-wage workers and job seekers. Stakeholders also reported the need for a diverse workforce that is racially, culturally and linguistically responsive to the needs of the community.

Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.

In addition to job fairs hosted by the City of Livermore, the following local workforce development programs are available for low-income and unemployed persons: CalWORKS programs; the Tri-Valley Career Center; Livermore Adult Education; Amador Valley Adult and Community Education; Tri-Valley Regional Occupation Program; and Chabot- Las Positas Community College’s Tri Valley Pathways to Employment Program. The Tri Valley’s workforce ecosystem is a highly collaborative one where local jurisdiction, workforce intermediaries, educational institutions, and employers work closely together to create employment opportunities for community members.

Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)?

Yes

DRAFT

If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth.

The City of Livermore’s FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan strategies align closely with its 2020-2025 Economic Development Strategic Plan, which identifies the following three goals:

1. Encourage an innovation-driven economy

2. Further enhance Livermore's unique sense of place and elevate the City's standing as a world- class destination; and

3. Ensure Livermore's economy remains diverse, inclusive, and resilient.

In particular, Consolidated Plan activities can help the City meet the following objectives related to its third goal of ensuring Livermore’s economy remains diverse, inclusive, and resilient:
• Objective 1: Ensure access to local employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for a broad section of the community
• Objective 2: Ensure Livermore remains a place where people of all backgrounds and skill levels can live and work
• Objective 3: Economic Resiliency

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")

According to the HUD office of Community Planning and Developments CPD Mapping Tool, the City has 20 Census Tracts, which encompass 57 Census Block Groups. Of these, eight are classified as Low-Mod Census Block Groups under the CDBG program. Low-Mod Census Block Groups are defined as areas where more than 50% of the residents earn 80% or less of the median family income. In FY 2024, the median family income for a household of four in the area is $155,700, meaning households earning $120,800 or less fall into this category.

The most common problem for low- to moderate-income households in Livermore is cost burden. Renters struggle to afford rental rates, and low-income homeowners struggle to afford the cost of household maintenance and repairs. In the latter case, poorly maintained homes lead to additional repair problems in the future, higher utility costs, and can lead to an overall deterioration of the housing units. The rate of people who are cost burdened for homeownership is estimated to be 27.7% and for renters is 49.9% in Livermore.

HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) defines the four main “Housing Problems” as being the following: Overcrowded housing conditions (with more than one person per room); Cost burden (paying more than 30% of income toward housing cost, including utilities); Housing that lacks complete plumbing facilities; and Housing that lacks complete kitchen facilities. According to the 2016-2020 ACS, there are 10,655 housing units (6,125 Homeowners and 4,530 Renters) that have at least one of the four “Housing Problems as defined by HUD.

HUD also defines “Severe Housing Problems” as the following: Severely overcrowded housing conditions (with more than one and a half persons per room); Severely cost burdened (paying more than 50% of income toward housing cost, including utilities); Housing that lacks complete plumbing facilities; and Housing that lacks complete kitchen facilities. According to the 2016-2020 ACS there are 4,575 housing units (2,285 Homeowners and 2,290 Renters) that have at least one of the four “Severe Housing Problems as defined by HUD.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") According to the 2016-2020 American Community Survey data, Census tract 4514.04, denotes where the majority of community members are non-white, and 49% of the population is Latino.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?

Census tract 4514.04 is in the center of Livermore and has some of the highest levels of crowded housing and homeowner housing cost burden in the City. This C ensus tract predominately contains single family and mixed-use housing developments.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?

Census t ract 4514.04 has several small businesses and grocery stores that cater to community members. A K-8th school that qualifies for Title 1 funding serves this area. The schools provide a variety of programs and services designed to serve low-income community members and immigrant families.

The City also has an active public library branch within this community. May Nissen Park, a 12.2-acre community park that was recently renovated and includes a swim center, playgrounds, group picnic areas, basketball courts, restrooms, horseshoe pits, sports fields, tennis courts, dog park and a preschool, is located near the library.

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? An affordable housing development site within this area, Chestnut Square, provides 72 affordable apartment units for seniors and 42 affordable family units, in addition to a 44-unit market rate townhouse project. Fifteen units are prioritized for households experiencing homelessness and provide supportive services. The projects will also utilize HUD's Project Based Section 8 program and HUD 811 program for people with disabilities. In 2024, Vineyard Resource Center opened. The resource center created 23 new, permanent supportive housing units for people experiencing homelessness (plus one on-site resident manager’s unit). It also has a year-round 30-bed temporary shelter for homeless individuals.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate- Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)

Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate- income households and neighborhoods.

Internet is an essential communications and information platform that allows users to take advantage of the increased interconnections of business, education, commerce and day to day utility. Reliable access to internet is a becoming a necessity to thrive in the modern economic environment. Communities that lack broadband access struggle to keep pace with the rest of the county. Locations without broadband internet access impede its population’s ability to take advantage of educational and entrepreneurial opportunities available online. This is particularly problematic for LMI areas where economic opportunities are often lacking. Studies suggest a strong correlation between increased high-speed internet access and increased education and employment opportunities, especially in small cities and rural areas.

According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) National Broadband Map, 100% of Livermore is covered by broadband internet. According to 2019-2023 ACS data, 96.5 % of residents in Livermore have broadband internet subscriptions. To help minimize the gap for LMI households, the major internet providers in Livermore, such as Verizon and AT&T, allow households who qualify for public assistance programs, such as the National School Lunch Program, Housing Assistance, Medicaid, SNAP, and SSI, to be connected at lower speeds and at much lower costs without contracts, credit checks, and installation fees. All new construction of housing units in California requires hardwired internet connections in the units. Additionally, there are personal computers with internet access located in area libraries, senior centers and community centers.

Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.

There are 13 residential internet providers in Alameda County and approximately 95% of Alameda County residents are served by multiple wireless providers with broadband speed. The need for increased competition is not an issue in Livermore.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)

Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

The California Department of Public Health’s Climate Change and Health Profile Report for Alameda County from 2017 outlines the following climate change impact concerns for Bay Area communities:

• Increased temperature
• Reduced precipitation
• Sea level rise and inland flooding
• Heat waves
• Fire risk

According to the 2024 Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, average temperatures are expected to continue to increase in the planning area, which may lead to a host of primary and secondary impacts, such as an increased incidence of heat waves. Expected changes in precipitation patterns are poorly understood and could have significant impacts on the water supply and flooding in the area.

Atmospheric river events may result in stormwater flooding after stormwater management systems are overwhelmed.

The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan also identifies the following hazard risks for the City of Livermore, some of which are associated with climate change:

• Earthquakes (High Risk)
• Severe weather (Medium Risk)
• Wildfire (Medium Risk)
• Flood (Low Risk)
• Landslide (Low Risk)
• Drought (Low Risk)
• Dam failure (Low Risk)

Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.

The maps created as part of the 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan show that most of Livermore's housing stock is located outside of flood, wildfire, and landslide areas. The five census tracts identified in the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis as having the greatest concentration of low- and moderate- income households (4514.04, 4516.02, 4515.06, 4514.01, and 4517.04) face various levels of vulnerability to local hazards associated with climate change.

LMI households and those with special needs without the means to evacuate would be more vulnerable during natural disasters caused by climate change. It would be difficult for households to acquire transportation and housing accommodations during an emergency. Additionally, housing destroyed by natural disasters would be difficult to replace at the same affordability level in an already constrained housing market.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview

The Strategic Plan for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan incorporated information gathered through data research, public meetings to discuss priority community needs, a survey, Human Services Commission meetings, and public hearings held by the Livermore City Council.

The goals and priority needs identified in this section support programs that provide families and individuals with the resources they need to thrive. The goal of the City’s service delivery system should be to determine the correct amount and type of services that a family or individual will require to achieve stability and avoid housing instability in the future. The City’s goal is to fund programs that allow our partners to effectively complete this work without additional barriers to obtaining assistance.

The priority needs and goals for the FY 2025-2029 Con Plan are outlined in the following charts below: “SP- 25 Priority Needs and Summary” and “SP-45 Goals Summary” City of Livermore

General Allocation Priorities

CDBG public service and capital funds will be dedicated to low-and moderate-income households distributed throughout the City of Livermore, thus the majority of funding through the City's Housing and Human Services Grant Program is distributed city- wide.

The City has not established specific target areas to focus on the investment of CDBG funds. However, certain projects receiving funding have offices in or provide services in neighboring jurisdictions, such as the adjacent cities of Pleasanton and Dublin. This allows the agencies to serve Livermore residents as part of the services provided within the greater Tri-Valley area. All CDBG funded activities are targeted at serving low- and moderate-income eligible households that reside solely within the City of Livermore.

The benefits of not having a targeted area include the ability to address a wide variety of needs across the City, ensuring funding can be directed to where it is most needed and regardless of geographical boundaries.

This approach enables the City to provide equitable access to resources and services across local neighborhoods with varying social-economic backgrounds. Additionally, this approach provides for the City to focus on the overall needs of the community, rather than narrowing the scope to specific areas, thereby allowing maximum impact of the CDBG funds to improve the quality of life for our residents.

Table 15- Institutional Delivery Structure

Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System

The City’s institutional delivery system for housing and human services is built on collaboration between public agencies and local nonprofits. Public agencies include the City’s Housing and Human Services Division, Alameda County HCD (including the HOME Consortium), and the neighboring Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton. The City actively coordinates with these partners to address housing and human services needs and ensure that they align with local and regional goals.

One of the City’s greatest strengths is the presence of excellent, active community-based organizations.

Community- based organizations also work closely with one another in Livermore through a number of collaborations. Livermore has a strong sense of community, and volunteerism levels are high. According to the 2024 Eastern Alameda County Needs Assessment, access to high-quality healthcare providers and mental health services, comprehensive services of nonprofit organizations, food security, and food services were identified as strengths in the Tri-Valley (Tri-Valley includes Livermore, and the neighboring Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton).

One gap in the institutional delivery system is a lack of access to services that can prevent the delivery of the services needed. This can be the result of several factors including lack of transportation, services that are not delivered in a culturally appropriate manner, burdensome requirements prior to accessing services and service locations that are not close in proximity to those in need. Lack of transportation is a particular challenge for the elderly, for persons with disabilities, and for others who may not drive or have a car. The lack of awareness of the availability of services by those in need and a lack of knowledge about how to access services are significant obstacles. Those in need must often access services from several points; similar services may also be provided by more than one agency.

DRAFT

The lack of affordable housing is another significant institutional challenge. Lack of affordable housing is part of the larger housing crisis seen across the Bay Area. Lack of affordable housing stock, lack of jobs that have income that afford a living wage for the area, and barriers to access affordable housing (example: high deposits and bad credit) poses significant challenges to try to meet the needs of low-income residents. It is the top concern among individuals that call the local 2-1-1 helpline, with the request being over three times higher the any other need and representing the highest unmet need among callers.

Table 16- Homeless Prevention Services Summary

Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) The City provides a range of services to address homelessness, focusing on chronically homeless individuals, City of Livermore

families with children, veterans and their families and unaccompanied youth. As of 2024 Point-In-Time Count (PIT), the City had an estimated 277 individuals experiencing homelessness, with 108 individuals being sheltered and 169 individuals being unsheltered. Compared to 2022, the City had a 14% increase in individuals experiencing homelessness, but the number of sheltered individuals increased by 59%.

The City has several year-round shelters and permanent supportive housing units for people experiencing homelessness. In January 2024, the Vineyard Housing and Resource Center project was completed (https://www.openheartkitchen.org/vineyard). The Vineyard project created 23 new, permanent supportive housing units for people experiencing homelessness (plus one on-site resident manager’s unit) and has a year-round 30-bed temporary shelter for homeless individuals. This project addresses the City’s strategic plan goals by providing permanent housing, temporary shelter, onsite food, showers, laundry, and housing navigation services.

In addition to the Vineyard Resource Center, there are year-round homeless shelters in Livermore that are available to domestic violence survivors and homeless families. Each of the shelters provides case management, life skills training, mental health assistance and connections to other services.

Goodness Village, a 28-unit affordable tiny home village located in Livermore (https://gvlivermore.org).

Goodness Village is a permanent supportive housing community for chronically homeless individuals. They have 24-hour on-site supportive services for the residents of the village.

Despite these efforts, the demand for shelter beds and transitional housing options exceed availability.

The City also has the Multi-Service Center (3311 Pacific Avenue, Livermore) that is home to multiple non- profits that help with coordinated entry, housing navigation and homeless prevention, and medical care. It is a central point for people experiencing homelessness to receive health and social services in one central location.

Every three months, the City hosts a Homeless Roundtable meeting, which gathers the local non-profits that support homeless service in our area to strength the coordination between services providers.

The City is dedicated to continuing to find ways to expand services and shelter options for those in need.

Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above

Despite the wide network of social services offered in the community, including people experiencing homelessness or special needs, the supply of services has not kept pace with the growing demand.

The City’s strength lies in its collaborative efforts with our non-profit providers. The City supports our partners with funding, office space at the Multi-Service Center, and coordination efforts. An example of a local non-profit is CityServe of the Tri-Valley (https://cityservecares.org). They are on the front-line responders for crisis management and care coordination for people experiencing homelessness. With City of Livermore

DRAFT

decreased federal funding each year, greater demands are placed on the City to find additional funding to support existing services in the area . Thus, the City’s ability to expand social services I order to keep pace with the demand for services is limited.

During community outreach, stakeholders and participants identified long waiting lists for affordable housing, subsidized childcare and after school care, and access to care for people with mental, behavioral and specialty physical health needs as areas of need in the community.

An example is the increasing need for housing for our lowest income residents. With a low vacancy rate and increasing rents, landlords are quickly becoming less willing to rent to a person that has previous challenges maintaining their housing. Even though Livermore has access to many programs, including supportive housing vouchers and rental assistance programs, it is still difficult to find a landlord that will rent to a person utilizing these programs.

In addition, special needs populations face greater obstacles to economic well-being than the general population. Special needs populations often require supportive services and/or special housing accommodations to stay independently housed. As described in the County’s housing needs analysis, people with disabilities receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are the lowest-income households in the Consortium area, and there is not a single housing market area in the United States (Alameda County included) where a person with a disability receiving SSI benefits can afford to rent a studio apartment. The number of subsidized housing units countywide is inadequate to meet demand and funding for special needs housing has been insufficient to meet the growing need.

Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs

The strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for addressing priority needs in Livermore is centered around a strategic, collaborative, and community centered approach.

To address existing gaps, the City’s strategy includes a focus on sustainable programs that integrate into a larger system of care, ensuring that services are not just temporary but are designed for long-term impact. A key element of this approach is increasing the capacity of existing partners and leveraging regional resources, such as the EveryOne Home initiative, to safeguard that the services provided are comprehensive and aligned with broader countywide efforts to combat homelessness.

Additionally, the City is committed to ensuring that its service delivery system is inclusive and provides access to all residents, especially those who are most vulnerable. Key strategies include improving the coordination of services, expanding outreach and engagement, and enhancing communication about available resources.

The City’s ongoing collaboration with regional partners, such as the Alameda County Continuum of Care, will help address gaps in shelter capacity and increase access to permanent supportive housing options.

Furthermore, Livermore is focused on developing programs that are flexible and adaptable, capable of City of Livermore

SP-65 Lead-based Paint Hazards - 91.415, 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards

Alameda County Healthy Homes Department (ACHHD) leads the efforts in lead poisoning prevention, with particular emphasis on the health of vulnerable populations such as children and seniors. The City remains committed to understanding and addressing lead hazards in compliance with HUD regulations, particularly in Housing constructed before 1979. Any incidences of lead paint for low-income residents that come to the City's attention are referred to the Alameda County Healthy Homes program.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards?

The actions listed by the City, in collaboration with ACHHD and other partners, directly address the risks and prevalence of lead-based paint hazards and lead poisoning in older homes. These efforts, including lead hazard remediation, outreach, and regulatory enforcement, align with the extent of lead poisoning by mitigating exposure risk and addressing cases where lead hazards are present.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?

HUD 24 CFR Part 35 Title X Section 1012 & 1013 lists requirements by activity. All housing programs have incorporated these requirements and are in compliance with Rehabilitation (Subpart J), and Tenant Based Rental Assistance (Subpart M). These activities and requirements are addressed in the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program Guidelines. Visual inspection for deteriorated paint is a part of the HQS inspections that are performed annually.

Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty Level Families

The City of Livermore places a high value on the efforts and services that focus on preventing and reducing the number of community members experiencing poverty. The City and its partners coordinate on a diverse range of programs and services to support families living in poverty, including the Multi-Service Center. The Multi-Service Center, a one-stop center that houses offices for seven non-profit agencies that serve low- income individuals from throughout Livermore and the Tri-Valley. The City of Livermore will continue to provide G eneral F und dollars to subsidize the operation and ongoing maintenance of the building and will continue to subsidize rents for non-profit agencies occupying the building.

In addition to CDBG and HOME funds, Livermore utilizes local funding sources to improve the lives of low- income families through its Housing and Human Services Grants program. Utilizing fees paid by local development, the City established two additional local funds to leverage federal CDBG and HOME funding to support and expand assistance for low-income residents. The Social Opportunity Endowment (SOE) Program establishes a long-term, stable funding source for public service programs. The City can utilize allocations from the Human Service Facility Fee to fund the acquisition, rehabilitation and renovation of buildings that support human services in Livermore.

The City of Livermore participates in the Tri-Valley Anti-Poverty Collaborative, which brings together local jurisdictions, philanthropic institutions, social service providers, and community leaders to address issues of hidden poverty in the Tri-Valley Area.

How is the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan

The City of Livermore has demonstrated a strong commitment to the development and funding of a comprehensive Housing and Human Services Program ensuring that housing and social services have met the needs of low-income households and have been provided fairly and equitably. The City continues to work proactively to implement its housing goals, policies, and programs which include addressing and mitigating potential obstacles, both market and governmental, to affordable housing. To achieve this goal, the City will continue partnerships with other Tri-Valley cities, government agencies and non- profits in order to continue to produce and maintain housing that is affordable for all household types and income groups.

The Ci
ty has been able to expand affordable rental units and offer first-time homebuyer opportunities for Livermore residents through its Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance which requires requiring a percentage of all units in a residential development be set aside as affordable. Additionally, the Ordinance has a “must build” requirement that affordable units be constructed on-site or the developer pay an In-Lieu fee.

Livermore continues to provide funding and support to agencies that provide services to residents of the City who are experiencing homelessness and those who are at risk of becoming homeless.

The City funds rental assistance programs that are aimed at diverting people and families away from entering a homeless shelter. Each program provides a rental subsidy coupled with case management to those who are at risk of experiencing homelessness and/or a survivor of domestic violence.

The City also provides funding support to the local homeless shelter and the local domestic violence shelter. Livermore has also contracted with non-profit providers to create teams that engage with people experiencing homelessness to help them obtain the services and build the skills that will help them to obtain the goal of acquiring housing.

Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The City has established comprehensive procedures for CDBG funded activities to ensure ongoing compliance with program regulations. The City executes an agreement with each agency that is awarded Community Development Block Grant as well as other awarded grants through the Housing and Human Service Grant Program. Quarterly invoices and reports are required as part of the grant agreement. The quarterly reports are compiled, detailing metrics to monitor the program’s progress. It is the policy of the City to do a high-level assessment of all agencies that receive these grants for compliance.

Every two years, the City will perform an on-site monitoring visit of the agencies receiving grant funding.

Monitoring procedures and forms are included in the City’s Housing and Human Services Grant Policy and Procedures Manual. Staff utilize a compliance monitoring c hecklist for each project to ensure the agencies meet all local and federal requirements and appropriate records are maintained. A monitoring visit would involve a review of contract performance, program effectiveness, and compliance with national objectives and financial management that would include use of program income. Any questions raised by the monitoring visit are pursued until resolved. The goal of the City’s monitoring process is to identify and address deficiencies early to improve the subrecipients performance before it becomes a concern.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs

The City of Livermore allocates its annual Housing and Human Services Grants Program funds to support the widest-ranging level of underserved needs in the community.  The funding is allocated to a variety of housing and public service projects and activities to help address the priority needs identified in the five-year Consolidated Plan. Local funds such as the City’s General Fund, SOE and the In-Lieu Housing Fund leverage federal funding. The main obstacle to addressing underserved needs is the excess of need over available funding and the downward trend in funding availability from a variety of sources.

The main obstacles to addressing underserved needs are:

1. The ongoing and downward trend in funding availability from a variety of sources.

2. Lack of accessible public information regarding existing social services.

3. Lack of affordable housing compared to the growing demand.

4. Lack of linguistically accessible services.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed CDBG public service and capital funds will be made available throughout the City of Livermore. Funds will be distributed through the City of Livermore's Housing and Human Services Grant process. Organizations that are awarded program and project funding may have their main offices located in other cities within Alameda County (such as Dublin, Pleasanton, Fremont, Oakland, and Hayward). Services may be provided in neighboring jurisdictions, such as the cities of Pleasanton and Dublin, where funded agencies serve Livermore residents as part of services provided within the greater Tri-Valley area. However, all Livermore funded activities are required to serve only the City of Livermore eligible households.

Table 22 - Geographic Distribution

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically For many programs and projects funded with CDBG funds, the exact location of the activity is not determined before funding the program as a whole. Some agencies provide services to the City of Livermore and to this region of the Tri-Valley area, comprised of the cities of Livermore, Dublin, and Pleasanton. To leverage and maximize federal funding resources, cities in the Tri-Valley collaborate to ensure adequate coverage of services needed for the area. Examples of collaborative investments between the three cities include allocating funds to Open-Heart Kitchen, which provides hot meals to seniors and homeless individuals in Livermore, Dublin, and Pleasanton, and the Axis Community Health Facility in Pleasanton, which delivers medical services to Livermore, Dublin, and Pleasanton residents to accommodate geographic need.

Discussion

Livermore, in collaboration with its community partners, will continue to provide services to its residents citywide.

In response to the 2024 Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment Report and Livermore’s most recent community needs workshops, Livermore will continue to focus on the changing demographics and needs identified in existing assessments and annual community planning processes. Priority needs include those of priority populations such as seniors, low-income families of color, community members experiencing homelessness, and people with disabilities.

AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k)
Introduction
This section describes actions that the City of Livermore plans to undertake in FY 2025-2026 and during the 5 - Year Consolidated Plan period to address the priority needs of the underserved residents of Livermore.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs

In addition to utilizing local, state, and federal funds to support housing and human service provision, the City of Livermore will continue to administer three local ordinances that help address public service funding gaps. The need for more accessible public information regarding social services will be addressed by continually improving the Human Services website, continuing to develop and share communications regarding local human services, and prioritizing case management and service navigation in Housing and Human Service Grant funding decisions.

The City Council will continue working closely with staff to identify programs and strategies that align local needs and available resources in order to provide immediate health, safety, housing, and dignity measures to individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The City is also currently providing several homeless and crisis stabilization programs, encampment resolution services, a mental health urgent care program, and pursuing substance use disorder (SUD) inpatient and outpatient services.

Actions being taken to address the lack of linguistically accessible services include translating Housing and Human Services resources into Spanish, updating webpage information, and assessing language access as part of the grant application scoring process.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing

The City is addressing the lack of affordable housing by supporting and funding the development of new construction and the rehabilitation of affordable rental housing developments targeting households with incomes at or below fifty percent of the area median income (AMI). The City requires new residential development to provide very low-, low-, median- and moderate-income affordable housing units through the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Several new residential development projects located within the City’s Isabel Neighborhood Plan area have negotiated agreements that will provide over 450 affordable rental and for-sale units.

The City also funds nonprofit programs helping community members access and maintain affordable housing.

Livermore prioritizes the development of units and implementation of housing programs that address the needs of priority groups, including individuals with disabilities, large families, domestic violence survivors, seniors, and people experiencing homelessness. The City is focused on developing permanent housing opportunities for community members experiencing homelessness. The City also continues to support and further explore the provision of emergency and transitional housing for these community members.

There are currently two affordable housing projects that have been previously entitled and are in the construction and financing stages of development that will provide a total of 270 affordable units to a range of target populations, including large families, people experiencing homelessness, and seniors.

The City also promotes affordable homeownership for low and moderate-income households through the City’s mortgage assistance and Below Market Rate (Inclusionary) purchase programs.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards

Incidences of lead paint that come to the City's attention are addressed for low-income residents through the Alameda County Healthy Homes program.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families

The City of Livermore places a high value on the efforts and services that focus on preventing and reducing the number of community members experiencing poverty. The City and its partners coordinate on a diverse range of programs and services to support families living in poverty, including the Multi-Service Center. The Multi-Service Center, a one-stop center that houses offices for seven non-profit agencies that serve low-income individuals from throughout Livermore and the Tri-Valley. The City of Livermore will continue to provide General Fund dollars to subsidize the operation and ongoing maintenance of the building and will continue to subsidize rents for non- profit agencies occupying the building.

In addition to CDBG and HOME funds, Livermore utilizes local funding sources to improve the lives of low-income families through its Housing and Human Services Grants program. Utilizing fees paid by local development, the City established two additional local funds to leverage federal CDBG and HOME funding to support and expand assistance for low-income residents. The Social Opportunity Endowment (SOE) Program establishes a long-term, stable funding source for public service programs. The City can utilize allocations from the Human Service Facility Fee to fund the acquisition, rehabilitation and renovation of buildings that support human services in Livermore.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure

The Housing and Human Services Division, which is part of the Community Development Department, has the primary responsibility for managing the development and implementation of affordable housing and human services programs. The City partners with local organizations to provide locally and federally funded human services through the Housing and Human Services Grants program. The City of Livermore Human Services Commission provides strategic guidance for the Housing and Human Services Grant program by helping to identify priority community needs, evaluating grant performance, and providing funding recommendations to Livermore City Council.

In the upcoming program year, the City of Livermore will continue to partner with the City’s collaborative and active ecosystem of community-based organizations to deliver social, educational, and recreational services. The City will also continue to work with its partners and County agencies to address gaps in the institutional delivery structure and improve service accessibility for East County community members. Examples of planned actions include working with neighboring jurisdictions to build capacity for current service providers, helping County agencies better understand local service needs, and identifying ways to partner with faith communities on streamlining resources and support for local service providers.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies

The Housing and Human Services Division, which is part of the Community Development Department, has the primary responsibility for managing the development and implementation of affordable housing and human services programs. The City partners with local organizations to provide locally and federally funded human services through the Housing and Human Services Grants program. The City of Livermore Human Services Commission provides strategic guidance for the HHSG program by helping to identify priority community needs, evaluating grant performance, providing funding recommendations to Livermore City Council.

In the upcoming program year, the City of Livermore will continue to partner with nonprofit housing organizations, the Livermore Housing Authority, and County social service agencies to produce more affordable housing, strengthen local nonprofit capacity, and increase access to critical safety net services for communities with the greatest barriers.

Discussion

In the upcoming program year, the City of Livermore will continue providing affordable housing opportunities and social services that meet the needs of low-income Livermore community members. The City continues to work proactively to implement its housing goals, policies, and programs that include addressing and mitigating potential obstacles, both market and governmental, to housing. The City will continue partnerships with other jurisdictions, cities, and non-profits to meet its goals.
