BACKGROUND:

Town staff received emails and phone calls from residents residing on East Sunset Drive regarding safety concerns of the roadway’s ability to support the construction of three (3) new residences at 13010, 13210, and 13254 East Sunset Drive. They further described long term concerns of the roadway’s narrow widths, limited sightlines, and noncompliance with the Santa Clara County Fire Department current standard. They also raised concern for increased delivery truck traffic, which traverse the road multiple times a week. The main concern is that delivery truck drivers are unfamiliar with the road and often drive too fast around the blind curves. They have requested the Town to widen the road and install guardrails to accommodate the proposed residences construction, delivery truck traffic, and provide vehicles and pedestrian safety.

Hello DeborahCould this letter be included in the council members packet or..? Dear Council MembersI hope that you support Consent Agenda Item L. It is fabulous that homeowner Pang is offering a 10 Pathway Easement along their East and south property lines. These two easements will go a long way toward realizing an off-road pathway specified on the MPP that spans from E. Sunset to Dianne Drive.

Once the path exits onto E. Sunset, it would certainly be nice if the pathway continued down E. Sunset as specified on the MPP.

To that end, I am asking you to pull the E. Sunset street widening Consent Item-I until the widening project includes the roadside path that connects to the roadside paths that already exist on E. Sunset. If PW can show that the E Sunset Project includes a roadside path than i would certainly advocate for the item to be passed otherwise I am asking for the item to be pull from tonight s agenda.

I am sorry for the late request on this item but I was not brought into the fold on this project and only became aware yesterday that it is on the consent calendar for tonight.

2. This Ordinance is adopted pursuant to CalRecycle’s SB 1383 Regulations. The SB 1383 Regulations were the subject of a program environmental impact report (EIR) prepared by CalRecycle, and the activities to be carried out under this Ordinance are entirely within the scope of the SB 1383 Regulations and that EIR. No mitigation measures identified in the Attachment 1

Moreover, none of the conditions requiring a subsequent or supplemental EIR, as described in Public Resources Code Section 21166 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, have occurred. The EIR therefore adequately analyzes any potential environmental effects of the Ordinance and no additional environmental review is required.

On a separate and independent basis, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15308, Class 8 of the CEQA Guidelines of as an action that will not have a significant impact on the environment and as an action taken by a regulatory agency for the protection of the environment, specifically, for the protection of the climate. There are no unusual circumstances that would cause this Ordinance to have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION II. AMENDMENT.

A new Chapter 8, entitled “Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction” is hereby added to Title 6 of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code to read as set forth in Exhibit A to this Ordinance, which is hereby incorporated as though set forth in full herein.

SECTION III. SEVERABILITY.

If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid or unconstitutional the remainder of this ordinance, including the application of such part or provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. To this end, provisions of this ordinance are severable. The City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be held unconstitutional, invalid, or unenforceable.

SECTION IV. EFFECTIVE DATE AND PUBLICATION.

This ordinance shall be effective upon thirty (30) days from its date of adoption. Within fifteen days after the passage of this ordinance, the Town Clerk shall cause this ordinance or a summary thereof to be published once, with the names of those Town Councilmembers voting for or against it in a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Los Altos Hills, as required by law.

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS January 20, 2022
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 8 “MANDATORY ORGANIC
WASTE DISPOSAL REDUCTION” TO TITLE 8 OF THE MUNICIPAL

CODE ESTABLISHING MANDATORY ORGANIC WASTE

DISPOSAL REDUCTION REGULATIONS CONSISTENT WITH
SENATE BILL 1383 REQUIREMENTS
FROM: Oscar Antillon, Public Works Director
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

Waive the first reading and introduce an Ordinance adding Chapter 8 “Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction” to Title 6 “Sanitation and Health” of the Los Altos Municipal Code relating to organic waste disposal and related regulations pursuant to Senate Bill 1383.

BACKGROUND:

According to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), organic waste comprises two-thirds of our waste stream and produces 20 percent of the State’s methane gas loading. When organics and compostable materials enter the landfill, they decompose. A byproduct of this decomposition is methane gas. Methane is 84 times more harmful than carbon dioxide and one of the most potent greenhouse gases.

Therefore, to help reduce greenhouse gases, communities need to recycle organics, such as food waste.

In September 2016, Governor Brown Jr. set methane emissions reduction targets for California with Senate Bill 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016) (SB 1383) in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants. Senate Bill 1383 targets organic waste (food scraps, yard debris, paper products, etc.) and requires a 75 percent disposal reduction by 2025.

Staff has prepared an ordinance adding Chapter 8 “Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction” to Title 6 “Sanitation and Health” of the Los Altos Municipal Code to implement SB 1383 requirements in compliance with state law. The proposed ordinance is based on a model template provided by CalRecycle that sets forth the required SB 1383 regulations available for local jurisdictions to use. The ordinance has been tailored to match the local circumstances and solid waste services in Los Altos Hills while retaining the necessary provisions of SB 1383 that the Town is required to implement. Those requirements are outlined below.

AGENDA ITEM #6.A
O.A.

P.P.

ATTACHMENT 2

2 Requirements of Senate Bill 1383
SB 1383 created a statewide regulation that includes requirements related to recycling and organics collection, inspection and enforcement policies and programs, and edible food recovery. The Town collaborates with its franchised hauler, GreenWaste Recovery, the County of Santa Clara, and CalRecycle to implement SB 1383 required programs in accordance with state guidelines and requirements. All jurisdictions must comply with nearly all SB 1383 requirements by January 1, 2022. Enforcement penalties against generators (i.e., customers) do not need to be imposed by the Town before January 1, 2024.

Jurisdictions are required to supply the following services to all residents and businesses adequately:
1) Provide organic waste collection services to all residents and businesses.

GreenWaste Recovery is following one of the optional paths to compliance and recovering food waste and other organics from the Gray cart. This path requires meeting the standards of a “High Diversion Organic Waste Processing Facility,” which means achieving an annual average organics recovery rate of 50% by 2022 and 75% by 2025.
2) Establish an edible food recovery program for all Tier 1 and Tier 2 commercial edible food generators. The proposed ordinance establishes an edible food recovery program with which both tiers of edible food generators, if present in the Town, would be required to comply. Currently, the Town does not have any Tier One Commercial Generators (supermarkets, grocery stores, food service providers, food distributors, and wholesale vendors) whom would need to comply by January 1, 2022. Likewise, the Town also does not have any Tier Two Commercial Generators (large restaurants, hotels, health facilities, event venues, and events) must comply by January 1, 2024. Certain state and local agencies are not subject to the control of Town or County regulations related to Solid Waste, such as special districts, local education facilities, federal facilities, public universities and community colleges, and state agencies.
3) Conduct education and outreach to all generators. SB 1383 mandates the Town to conduct outreach and education to all affected parties including generators, haulers, facilities, edible food recovery organizations, and municipal departments.

Town staff and GreenWaste have conducted education and outreach on several platforms with plans to continue education as we resume in in person community events. Efforts included informational mailers, social media posts, emails, and GreenWaste website. Both Town staff and GreenWaste will continue providing educational materials and community outreach to organic waste generators explaining and providing information on the requirements of the SB 1383 regulations.

Town staff and GreenWaste will continue to promote and educate our residents and community members. Every effort will be made to use digital and traditional methods of outreach including promotion in our Town’s newsletter, advertisement on our Town’s social media platforms, and tabling at community events. 4) Procure certain levels of recyclable and recovered organic products. Based on

3 GreenWaste Recovery internal measurements they will meet the required recovery rates and will verify the diversions with the State’s new auditing protocols.

Jurisdictions must also purchase paper products, printing and writing paper with at least 30 percent post-consumer, recycled-content fibers that are recyclable.

Businesses from which the Town purchases these products will be required to certify compliance in writing.
5) Monitor compliance and conduct enforcement. SB 1383 requires the Town to work with GreenWaste to inspect and ensure compliance by covered residential and commercial entities. Before January 1, 2024, the Town must provide information on compliance by individuals and businesses that violate waste separation and other requirements under SB 1383. After that period, violations are subject to penalties, which will range from $100 to $500 depending on the type of violation.

Jurisdiction Penalties for Non-Compliance
Should the Town fail to comply with the above-mentioned requirements, the Town may also be subject to enforcement action by CalRecycle, which may include the following:
• Conducting more frequent inspections;
• Taking over direct enforcement on non-compliant businesses within the Town; • Establishing a schedule for Town compliance and a probationary period; and/or • Seeking administrative penalties against the Town of up to $10,000 per day.

Jurisdictions throughout the State must adopt an ordinance or other similarly enforceable mechanism by January 1, 2022, to meet the SB 1383 regulations. Pursuant to newly adopted Senate Bill 619, which was signed into law in October 2021, jurisdictions that have not met such timeline are also provided the ability to provide a “notification of intent to comply” to CalRecycle before March 1, 2022 to avoid incurring penalties. This gives local agencies additional time to adopt ordinances and other enforcement mechanisms and comply with SB 1383 requirements. This proposed ordinance will mandate that organic waste generators, haulers, and other entities subject to the requirements of SB 1383 regulations and subject to the Town’s authority, and will allow the Town to comply with SB 1383 regulatory requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate impact to the Town or its residents due to implementing the SB 1383 requirements listed above. However, as the requirements intensify (e.g., compliance monitoring, outreach, and enforcement), a result of anticipated negotiations between the Town and its franchisee GreenWaste regarding these duties may eventually result in revised rate schedules. Additionally, to ensure and maintain future compliance, additional Town staff and resources will likely be required.

WHEREAS, the Town of Los Altos Hills, California (“Town”) is a municipality, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, in September 2016, Senate Bill 1383 (“SB 1383”) established statewide methane emissions reduction targets in an effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants in various sectors of California’s economy; and
WHEREAS, SB 1383 includes statewide goals to reduce the disposal of organic waste (food scraps, yard debris, paper products, etc.) and recover edible food for human consumption; and WHEREAS, to meet the SB 1383 regulations, jurisdictions throughout the State must adopt an ordinance or other similarly enforceable mechanism by 2022; and WHEREAS, this ordinance will mandate that organic waste generators, haulers, and other entities subject to the requirements of SB 1383 regulations and subject to the authority of the Town of Los Altos Hills, comply with SB 1383 regulatory requirements; and WHEREAS, through adoption of this ordinance, the City Council desires to add Chapter 8, “Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction”, to Title 6 of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code relating to organic waste disposal and related regulations pursuant to Senate Bill 1383.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills does hereby ordain as follows:

SECTION I. FINDINGS.

Based on the entirety of the record as described above, the City Council for the Town of Los Altos Hills hereby makes the following findings:

1. All of the facts and recitals above are true, correct, incorporated herein and made a part hereof. such that there exists a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare requiring immediate implementation of an urgency ordinance to regulate residential development projects, subdivisions and site developments in the Town of Los Altos Hills.

2. This Ordinance is adopted pursuant to CalRecycle’s SB 1383 Regulations. The SB 1383 Regulations were the subject of a program environmental impact report (EIR) prepared by CalRecycle, and the activities to be carried out under this Ordinance are entirely within the scope of the SB 1383 Regulations and that EIR.

Moreover, none of the conditions requiring a subsequent or supplemental EIR, as described in Public Resources Code Section 21166 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, have occurred. The EIR therefore adequately analyzes any potential environmental effects of the Ordinance and no additional environmental review is required.

On a separate and independent basis, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15308, Class 8 of the CEQA Guidelines of as an action that will not have a significant impact on the environment and as an action taken by a regulatory agency for the protection of the environment, specifically, for the protection of the climate. There are no unusual circumstances that would cause this Ordinance to have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION II. AMENDMENT.

A new Chapter 8, entitled “Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction” is hereby added to Title 6 of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code to read as set forth in Exhibit A to this Ordinance, which is hereby incorporated as though set forth in full herein.

SECTION III. SEVERABILITY.

If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid or unconstitutional the remainder of this ordinance, including the application of such part or provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. To this end, provisions of this ordinance are severable. The City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be held unconstitutional, invalid, or unenforceable.

SECTION IV. EFFECTIVE DATE AND PUBLICATION.

This ordinance shall be effective upon thirty (30) days from its date of adoption. Within fifteen days after the passage of this ordinance, the Town Clerk shall cause this ordinance or a summary thereof to be published once, with the names of those Town Councilmembers voting for or against it in a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Los Altos Hills, as required by law.

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS February 17, 2022
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CONSULTING SERVICE AGREEMENTS WITH 4LEAF, INC.; AND WEST COAST CODE
CONSULTANTS, INC., FOR CONTRACT BUILDING SERVICES FOR A PERIOD OF THREE (3) YEARS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $150,000

PER CONTRACT
FROM: Sofia Mangalam, Planning Director
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing consulting service agreements with 4Leaf, Inc (4Leaf) and West Coast Code Consultants, Inc. (WC3) for contract building services for a period of three (3) years in an amount not to exceed $150,000 per contract.

BACKGROUND
Planning and Building Department is committed to providing professional, courteous, and efficient service to the public, ensuring that new development complies with local, state, and federal land use and environmental regulations, and guiding the physical development of the Town in a manner that is consistent with the goals and values of the community. The Department is comprised of Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement operations. It includes seven (7) full-time regular employees and one (1) part-time contract employee.

The building division is responsible for plan checking, inspection, and permitting to ensure life safety, and quality control on building activity within the Town. At present, there are two (2) fulltime employees in the building division, which include Senior Building Inspector and Building Technician. The building division also has a budget for contract personnel for contract Building Official services up to 12 hours a week. The building division contracts for plan review services and from time to time, contract inspection and permit technician services on as needed basis.

At present, Town has a services agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc. (CSG) which was approved by the City Council on September 14, 2006 and extended on October 11, 2017 with no specific end date. The original agreement includes the provision of consultant building, planning, and engineering services. CSG has been providing excellent services to the Town for all these areas.

Two (2) addendums were approved to the agreement in 2021, including addendum #1 to include Code Enforcement services and Addendum #2 to include Assistant Engineer, Consultant Engineering services and Interim City Engineer services. The original contract, subsequent extension, and addendums are available at the Town Hall for reference.

However, staff has determined that it would be beneficial to have additional firms to necessitate coverage for building services to continue providing services to the community.

City Council Page 2
Resolution Authorizing service agreements with 4Leaf and WC3 for Contract Building Services February 17, 2022

DISCUSSION
As discussed above, the Town has a services agreement with CSG for building department services. CSG provides various services including, building structural plan checks, surveys, review of final maps and so on. In addition, the Town also had short-term service agreements with 4Leaf (August 25, 2021, through November 30, 2021.) and WC3 (August 20, 2021, through October 30, 2021) to augment building division needs. Both these agreements were within the signing authority of the City Manager ($25,000.) In recent months (September and October 2021), staff has utilized personnel from WC3 for building inspections and permit technician.

As noted earlier, there is only one (1) building inspector and one (1) permit technician in the building division. The town does not employee a full time Building Official and this is consistent with other towns such as Portola Valley and Hillsborough. The existing part time contract-services model meets our need for the Building Official.

There have been instances when regular personnel (building inspector and permit technician) are unavailable due to vacation, illness, and injury. This particular issue has been exacerbated due to Covid-19. When the personnel have called in sick the same day and a few times for an extended period of time, staff has contacted CSG for help for building inspections and permit technician.

However, there have been a few instances when CSG was unable to accommodate these requests as their personnel were already occupied. As a result, staff had to either postpone or reschedule some of the inspections causing inconvenience to the residents.

Keeping in mind that the Town has only one (1) personnel each for both positions in the building division, and the issue arising from unavailability of regular personnel can cause disruption to the working of the department. Also, throughout any fiscal year, fluctuations occur in the number of permit applications received by the building division Thus, staff determined that it would be helpful to add more consulting firms to cover all aspects of the building department.

Staff contacted a few consulting firms including, WC3, 4Leaf, and Interwest, to obtain a scope of services and associated fees for building department services. Two (2) firms responded: 4Leaf and WC3. Statement of Qualifications along with fees for 4Leaf is included in Attachment 3 and for WC3 in attachment 4.

Staff is requesting approval of service agreements with two additional (2) firms to ensure the availability of plan examiners, permit technicians, and on-call building inspectors from any of the consultants within short notice. Contracting with only one (1) consulting firm has limitations as the firm may not be able to dispatch personnel to the Town when needed. Adding additional consulting firms will widen the available pool of plan examiners, permit technicians, and qualified inspectors. Additionally, having contracts with multiple firms will provide staff the flexibility to select on-call building services to provide coverage at all times. As noted earlier, staff had shortterm services agreements with both 4Leaf and WC3, and these long-term agreements will save staff time entering and coordinating short term agreements.

Staff has determined that both 4Leaf and WC3 can provide the required services for the building division. Thus, staff is recommending the City Council enter into a contract for a period of three

City Council Page 3
Resolution Authorizing service agreements with 4Leaf and WC3 for Contract Building Services February 17, 2022
(3) years with both the consultants and in the amount not exceeding $150,000 per contract (based on $50,000 per year). Staff would continue to contract with CSG on plan reviews, inspections, and contract Building Official personnel, and these two (2) consulting firms would be add-ons and back-up for on-call building services.

The Town spends a lot of money on plan checks and staff would like to determine the need for an in-house Plan Examiner based on the consistent number of plan reviews that the Town undertakes.

However, staff would bring this evaluation to the City Council and seek direction to add a fulltime Plan Examiner to the building division prior to making a determination.

The purpose of these two (2) services agreements with 4Leaf and WC3 are to avoid disruption and delay and provide continuity of services to the community in the event that the building division experiences unexpected absences. These additional contracts will allow the town to have a wider variety of consultants to draw from to fill temporary staff shortages. Thus, staff recommends that the City Council authorize consulting service agreements with 4Leaf and WC3 for contract building services.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for staff augmentation such as building inspectors, and permit technicians is part of the budget for building division. The cost for services related to development projects and building permits are paid by the applicant (example: structural plan check for building permit). These additional contracts will not result in an increase in expenditures, it only provides a greater variety of vendors to do the same quantity of work.

Qualifications to Provide As-Needed Building Department Services to the Town of Los Altos Hills Page 8 Section 3: Scope of Work Approach February 3, 2022
Approach
We understand that the specific building plan review responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
• Examining plans, drawings, specifications, computations documents, soils reports, and additional data; • Ascertaining whether projects are in accordance with applicable building and fire codes, and Town ordinances, including but not limited to Title 24 and Title 25; • Performing such reviews as, structural, MEP, green building, fire and life safety, grading and drainage; • Reviewing plans to ensure conformity to the required strengths, stresses, strains, loads, and stability as per the applicable laws;
• Reviewing plans to ensure conformity with use and occupancy classification, general building heights and areas, types of construction, fire resistance construction and protection systems, means of egress, accessibility, structural design, soils and foundations; and masonry; • Providing additional plan review services as requested by the Town; • Conducting all plan review at the Town Department or at a site mutually agreed upon in writing and; • Supplying all plan review staff with all code books and other basic professional references.

On- and Off-Site Review
4LEAF can supply Registered Professional Engineers to the Town to work on-site performing structural plan review and non-structural reviews at the Jurisdiction’s discretion. Our experience includes checking for compliance with the structural, life-safety, accessibility, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire, and local codes/ordinances.
4LEAF’s EZPlan Review
EZPlan Review is our in-house tracking software that
acts as a communication tool between 4LEAF and
the jurisdictions we work with. The use of EZPlan
makes communication easy. This web portal allows
users visualize project due dates, notes, and status
updates so that projects can be followed from start
to finish. Additionally, 4LEAF provides electronically
stamped and uploaded copies of approved project
plans, a value which saves clients time and
resources. With the use of EZPlan, 4LEAF hopes to
provide a level of ease and transparency during the
off-site plan review process.

Document Control
When plans and documents are received for review, 4LEAF’s Plan Review Manager and Document Control Technician analyze the project, creates a job number, and completes a Job Setup Sheet. This form highlights both the jurisdiction, applicable contact information, and all project specific design criteria and notes. Jobs are then transmitted through 4LEAF’s easily accessed EZPlan Review Portal which tracks initial and subsequent reviews and is open for view by the client. The Town and their customers can view 4LEAF’s plan review control log through 4LEAF’s EZPlan Review Portal.

Qualifications to Provide As-Needed Building Department Services to the Town of Los Altos Hills Page 9 Section 3: Scope of Work Approach February 3, 2022
Plans then get distributed for review to a 4LEAF team consisting of Plan Review Engineers, Architect (a licensed state professional) and/or an ICC Certified Plans Examiner, as applicable. Our staff then performs his or her function of analyzing the plans and documentation for effective conformance to the state codes, referenced construction standards, and Town amendments. 4LEAF’s code review methodology is “The Effective Use of the Codes” reinforced through proprietary and jurisdictional checklists. When complete, the Plan Review Manager overviews the project for quality control purposes and forwards comments or approvals to the client’s predesignated contacts.

Off-Site Electronic Plan Review
Digital plan review allows 4LEAF the ability to review, markup and transport plans of any size electronically. We strongly encourage this service for our clients. This process delivers a high degree of cost effectiveness, time efficiency and a “green” and environmentally friendly system. Through our strong focus on utilizing this digital capability, we offer full access to all 4LEAF engineers and plans examiners company-wide, from any of our office locations. A protected online portal will be established to allow property owners, contractors, developers, businesses, designers, and stakeholders to submit plans electronically for review. Access to the online portal will be given to Town staff for immediate access to information regarding project status during the review process. 4LEAF has successfully implemented and used Bluebeam for electronic review of files to help eliminate the use of paper and take the plan review workflow to a whole new level. 4LEAF’s offices are equipped with large scale monitors for easy review of plans. Bluebeam Revu combines powerful PDF editing, markup, and collaboration technology with reliable file creation. Bluebeam integrates flawlessly with our Green Line approach for electronic and timely turnarounds resulting in permit issuance within 5-7 business days.

County of San Mateo, CA
Second Unit Amnesty Program – Plan Review & Inspection Services 4LEAF was selected to provide program management, inspection, and plan review services for the County of San Mateo residents who have completed work without going through a formal permitting process. In July 2018, 4LEAF was awarded the contract for San Mateo County’s Second-Unit Amnesty Program. In a collaborative effort to balance safety with California’s desperate need for more housing, San Mateo County implemented the Amnesty Program, along with a financial loan program, to promote the legalization of unpermitted second units and bring them up to the current codes and standards and avoid life-safety construction hazards to the community. Steps of the program include but are not limited to:

1. 4LEAF inspector performs the initial inspection and determines the required scope of work along with an estimate and submits the findings to the applicant and County.

2. Applicant determines if they wish to proceed with the Amnesty Program based on the findings of the inspection report and the estimated cost to bring the property into conformance.

3. Applicant provides a minimum of two contractor estimates to 4LEAF from licensed contractors. 4LEAF checks contractor eligibility and determines if the estimates provided are reasonable.

4. County sends 4LEAF the completed application, submitted plans, agreement of timeline and the scope of work.

5. 4LEAF uploads the submitted plans and documents into 4LEAF’s EZPlan Review and performs the plan review with a maximum 5-day turnaround timeframe.

6. 4LEAF performs the requisite inspections after permit is issued from the County.

The 4LEAF inspector coordinates each inspection with the contractor and the applicant through 4LEAF’s Program Manager.

7. 4LEAF inspector monitors the progress throughout the project and provides the Program Manager with updates, correction notices, and approvals. This information is uploaded and tracked in 4LEAF’s EZPlan Review portal.

8. Upon completion of the work 4LEAF will send a letter of recommendation to the County recommending an Amnesty Compliance Certificate be issued to the Applicant. 4LEAF and the County are working together to maintain a database of cases and track permitting progress on properties that need inspections to verify their property meets the current residential health and safety code and the current adopted California Building Codes.

Per the apprenticeship requirements, the hours worked by the apprentice must be in a ratio of 1:5 for apprentice to journeyman hours. 4LEAF will not know the labor classification of the Public Works Apprentice until an Apprentice is dispatched to the site; therefore, the rates for the five Periods listed under the California DIR’s Wage determination for Building Construction Inspector were used to determine the range of hourly rates for Public Works Inspector Apprentice. • Pre-approved Overtime and Premium hours for labor categories subject to Prevailing Wage requirements will be charged per the following:

BUILDING PLAN REVIEW PROCESS & METHODOLOGY
Incoming Project
• WC3 typically serves jurisdictions with electronic plan submittals, accepting and delivering plans back and forth via email attachments as well as links to electronically formatted documents stored elsewhere. WC3 will adapt to any preferred software systems of the Town of Los Altos Hills.

WC3 Processing
• An account information file, specific to the Town is created to identify items inherent and of interest to the Town. This file will be maintained and utilized during each and every project, ensuring potential concerns are always addressed. • Upon notification of projects and receipt/download of electronic plan submittal, projects are uploaded and logged into WC3’s own internal eProcess360 software platform and Client/ Regional Managers are automatically notified to begin the plan check process.

Plan Check
• WC3 will check submitted docs for completeness; inform the Town of any missing information; review plans to understand the scope and task; identify significant code items and discuss important items with associated staff. • Client/Regional Manager will assign WC3 plan examiner staff and monitor progress. • Client/Regional Manager will quality check all comments before release to the Town.

Communication
• WC3 understands all plan review comments are subject to the review by the Town. • Review comments will have plan sheet numbers, detail numbers, and code sections. • WC3 will work with Los Altos Hill's preferred method of communication and be available via email, phone or in-person for meetings, etc.
• The Town will always have the same points of contact for WC3. • The comment structure in our plan review comment lists will be easily transitioned into the format of the Town's preference.

Recheck
• Documents are resubmitted to begin the recheck process. WC3 requires a written response addressing each and every plan check item or comment.
• Rechecks will be assigned to the same plans examiner who performed original review. • Any new comments to be included during the recheck cycle will be brought to the attention of the Client/Regional Manager.
• All plans examiners are encouraged to call and to resolve concerns, rather than adding additional corrections and comment lists. • Rechecks are performed quickly and timely. Our turnaround schedule is highlighted in the upcoming section regarding "Building Plan Review Turnaround Times." Approval
• Plan review approval will not be recommended to the jurisdiction until all code compliance issues are resolved and all permit issuance requirements of the department are satisfied. • WC3 is flexible and will meet all Los Altos Hill's project approval requirements, including but not limited to, “Plans Examiner of Record” approval stamps, electronic submittals, paper/hard copies, quantity of copies, pick-up/delivery and more.
