Title: Update on the Community Economic Resilience Fund.

Council Meeting Date: 7/20/2022
Prepared by: Sandra Moberly, Community and Economic Development Director Recommended Motion: Staff recommends that the Town Council receive an update regarding the Community Economic Resilience Fund.

Summary: The Town has provided a letter supporting the Sierra Business Council (SBC) to be the regional convener for the Community Economic Resilience Fund (CERF) program (Attachment 1). Steve Frisch from the SBC will provide an update on the status of CERF as well as the next steps in the process.

Staff has attached a summary of the CERF program and the regions that have been established through the CERF planning process (Attachments 2 and 3). Additionally, the Council has requested information regarding Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS) which are a requirement in order to apply for certain types of grant funding. Staff has provided a CEDS overview as Attachment 4 as well as the Town’s adopted Destination Resort Community Economic Development Strategy (DRCEDS) as Attachment 5.

COMMUNITY ECONOMIC RESILIENCE FUND (CERF)
OVERVIEW: CERF’s planning phase will establish regional, inclusive planning tables to develop blueprints and align resources for each region’s economic future. These regional tables will result in recommended investments throughout the region that will build economic resilience, bolster equity outcomes, and facilitate the transition to carbon neutrality.

PROGRAM VISION: Deliver a sustainable and equitable economic future that meets communities and regions where they are by supporting new regional plans and investing in strategies and projects that help diversify regional economies and develop or expand environmentally sustainable industries that create high-quality, broadly accessible jobs for all Californians.

Program Objectives
• Support the development of meaningfully inclusive regional planning processes that produce regional roadmaps for economic development efforts that prioritize the creation of accessible, high-quality jobs in sustainable industries.
• Invest in projects proposed by regional planning tables that align with regional strategies and meet criteria for equity, job quality, and sustainability, among others. • Align and leverage state investments (e.g., High Road Training Partnerships, community capacity building programs), federal investments (e.g., Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), and philanthropic and private-sector investments in regions to maximize economic development efforts.

What Does Success Look Like?
• Planning phase. Inclusive, diverse, transparent, and accountable regional planning that results in a holistic strategy and recommended series of investments to grow sustainable industries, diversify regional economies, and increase access to high quality jobs. • Implementation phase. Projects throughout the region that advance globally competitive and sustainable industries and high-quality jobs with clear employment pathways for underserved and incumbent workers, and bolster equity, climate, and health outcomes for all Californians.

Program Detail

1. Phase 1—Regional Planning Grants:
a. Create 13 Regional Collaboratives that will receive ~$5M each.

Page 7 of 150 ends

March 2022
b. Establish new, inclusive regional planning tables starting in summer 2022. Much like a “team of teams,” they will incorporate existing local efforts to address planning on a broader regional scale.
c. Develop tailored economic transition plans that meet regions where they are. Plans will include analysis of industry sectors and labor markets, with actionable research and consultation from expert institutions. Strategies should complement, incorporate, or expand on existing plans such as Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS), as applicable and relevant.
d. Embed locally-hired coordinators to facilitate ongoing engagement, partnership, and relationship-building activities with business, labor, community, government, education, economic development, federally and non-federally recognized tribes, and other key stakeholder groups.
e. Support participants to increase access and broaden participation in the planning process.
f. Provide technical assistance to guide convening, evaluation, research priorities, and other needs during the planning phase.
g. Recommend investments that diversify the economy, and develop or grow sustainable industries that create accessible, well-paying jobs, especially for disinvested communities.

2. Phase 2—Implementation Grants:
a. Provide approximately $500M in rolling, competitive grants from fall/winter 2022 to October 2026. Includes reserve funding for each region for competitive bidding. b. Fund projects in localities across the regions based on regional plans developed and criteria outlined.
c. Ensure projects support economic resilience and transition for regions, while promoting economic diversification, sustainability, and equity. Outcomes will drive the growth of globally competitive, sustainable industries with well-paying, accessible jobs and bolster equity outcomes by race, ethnicity, gender, and geography.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Q: My region already has some existing economic development planning efforts. Will the CERFfunded regional planning table overtake or erase our efforts? In other words, how will subregional efforts tie into the CERF economic regions? a. CERF seeks to build on, not overtake existing economic development efforts. Think of these new, regional planning tables as a “team of teams.” Existing local planning efforts (e.g., Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies, High Road Training Partnerships, recovery task forces, etc.) will be incorporated into the larger planning table, alongside representatives from other voices and/or corners of the region that

Page 12 of 150 ends

4 may have not been involved in prior planning efforts. The organization that serves as the “neutral intermediary” or “convener” will help facilitate setting these new, inclusive planning tables. The momentum and activities of more localized planning efforts will be able to continue.

2. Q: My region is large and diverse. The delineation of regions does not reflect the reality of many communities and economies, and I worry that rural, tribal, and minority communities will not be meaningfully included in the process.
a. The aim of this program is to create meaningfully inclusive planning tables to collaborate in the design of a blueprint for a region’s recovery from COVID-19 and transition to a carbon-neutral economy. Just like a “team of teams,” representatives from various community groups throughout the CERF economic region—from urban to rural to tribal—must be at the table to provide their input, perspective, and expertise.

That’s what makes this program so transformational and meaningful: a community and worker-centered approach to economic development planning.

3. Q: Industries don’t fit neatly within the CERF economic regions. How do we accommodate for this in our processes?
a. We understand that industries may exist in several regions, and/or industries may cross regional borders. The planning phase may account for this, and implementation projects can support projects that cross regional boundaries. During the planning process, you are encouraged to collaborate with any of the other economic regions, especially those who have similar industries and/or economic challenges. To the extent feasible, the state team can help support making these connections among economic regions.

4. Q: You mentioned specific examples of local and regional economic development planning efforts that have been taking place in California. If I’m located in the same region as one of these planning processes but am not already part of that effort, have we already missed the opportunity to be at the table?
a. No, these regional tables will be new tables and there will be opportunity to engage regardless of what previous activity has occurred in your area. The CERF economic planning process is an opportunity to engage many new voices and communities who may not have previously participated in economic development efforts in your region.

Page 13 of 150 ends

5 5. Q: Your memo failed to highlight the uniqueness of my county or region, and/or did not include the specific efforts that my organization is doing.
a. A: We understand that each locality, county, and region is unique. Moreover, we realize there are impressive efforts happening around the state, ranging from High Road Training Partnerships to Economic Development Councils, among others. We certainly did not attempt to touch on all the unique localities and partnerships in our large and diverse state, and instead we opted for a more manageable, higher-level memo.

6. Q: Why will regions receive the same amount for planning efforts? a. We are providing all regions with the same amount for planning because each region faces different types of difficulties as it relates to recovery from COVID-19, and we aim to provide resources to all parts of the state.

7. Q: This all seems to be moving very quickly. Why?
a. The funds are from the American Rescue Plan Act and must be encumbered by June 30, 2024 for both the planning and implementation phases. Therefore, we aim to strike a balance between providing enough time for public comments and feedback on the program, while also ensuring that each region has enough time to come together to work on planning processes.

8. Q: I have questions about the planning phase, such as what entities are eligible to apply. a. A: We welcome your questions and feedback on the planning phase. Draft guidelines will be available for public comment in December 2021.

Title: Update on Bird Scooters.

Council Meeting Date: 7/20/2022
Prepared by: Haislip Hayes, PE Public Works Director
Recommended Motion: Receive a presentation from representatives of Bird.

Cc: Haislip Hayes; Al Davis
Subject: Public Comment and Question on Item 8.1 Bird Scooters [EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Please accept this Public Comment and Question for Item 8.1, update on Bird Scooters.

Submitted by email as, unfortunately, due to a scheduling conflict I will not be available to attend/listen in this afternoon.

As the Bird presentation is not available (as of 9 AM), and given this question may only be partially Bird’s to answer: Is the Town working with Bird to enforce the rules/regulation/laws related to use of the Bird scooters? I have been asked about 1) their use by users clearly under the age of 18; and 2) their use on public sidewalks. These are common issues Bird and other towns face daily along with driver’s licenses and helmets (for minors, who aren’t supposed to be riding anyway).

It is understood Bird may already be planning to address these questions in their presentation. And yes, when I get questions like this I refer them to current Town staff/departments as these are certainly not for me to answer. But they persist, so I pass them along.

Thank you,
Grady Dutton

Title: Quarterly Presentation by Airport Core Management Team – Summer 2022.

Council Meeting Date: 7/20/2022
Prepared by: Rob Patterson, Administrative Services / Finance Director Sierra Shultz, Deputy Airport Manager
Vince Maniaci, Airport Operations Manager
Recommended Motion: No Action – Presentation Only.

Summary: The Mammoth Yosemite Airport Core Management Team will provide a quarterly presentation to Town Council on work process, development planning, activities, and events at the Airport. The intent of these quarterly presentations is to provide updates to Town Council and the Community on what it takes to operate the Airport. Staff developed this presentation to highlight key topics of general understanding as well as seasonal operation needs of the Airport. The goal is a strong mutual understanding, between staff and Town Council, of the operations, funding structures and milestones, and future vision of the Airport.

The first presentation was given at the Town Council meeting on May 4, 2022. This second presentation will cover missions of the Airport, operations, and general aviation. Subsequent quarterly presentations will cover a review of the Airport Layout Plan (ALP), projects surrounding the airport, and vision for the future including the Helicopter Parking Apron (October quarterly presentation); and winter operations and servicing charter flights (January quarterly presentation).

Staff looks forward to providing this update and enhancing the understanding of the importance of this asset to our community and the potential that it holds.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Adopt the resolution declaring the Council’s intention to annex territories into the Community Facilities District No. 2013-3 (Transit CFD), levying a special tax in connection therewith, and setting the time and place for the public hearing on September
Meeting Date: July 20, 2022
Prepared by: Amy Callanan, PE, Engineering Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that Town Council adopt the attached resolution declaring the Council’s intention to annex territories into the Community Facilities District No. 2013-3 (Transit Services) pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, levying a special tax in connection therewith, and setting the time and place for the public hearing on September 7, 2022.

BACKGROUND:

In 2014, the Town developed the Community Facilities District (CFD) 2013-3 (Transit Services) (“Transit CFD”) for subdivisions in the Resort Zone that allow transient occupancies. The imposition of such a tax at an appropriate rate would satisfy the fiscal impact requirements of the Town’s mitigation requirements for the 2007 General Plan Environmental Impact Report and the Intrawest Development Agreement to which the parcels are subject. The Town Council adopted Goals and Policies for Community Facilities District at the March 6, 2013 meeting. The Notice of Intent was adopted by Town Council Resolution No. 14-147 on April 2, 2014. Pursuant to this policy, all Planning Resolutions for project entitlements which allow transient use include a condition of approval requiring annexation into the Transit CFD.

A property is not subject to the tax until it becomes a “qualified residential property” (a property for which a certificate of occupancy has been issued for purposes of a residential dwelling unit that allows for transient use.) As of February 2022, there were 96 parcels within the District that have received their certificate of occupancy. The developments or properties with occupancy permits are located within Obsidian Residence Club, Altis, Hillside, Mountainside, Gray Stone, Gray Bear I, Gray Bear II, and Gray Bear III, 125 Lakeview, 540 Old Mammoth Road, and Hillside Highlands.

The Town has received petitions from developers requesting the Town Council undertake and complete proceedings to annex the developers’ properties into the District as shown on Annexation Map No. 5 in Exhibit A. The properties include the Yotel project, the Obsidian Phase 2 Remainder parcel, the Villas 3 project, and three additional vacant and unentitled parcels at the corner of Joaquin Road and Meridian Blvd. The petitions request

Page 47 of 150 ends

2 the Town finance services and improvements with a special tax levied against properties included in the District.

ANALYSIS:

Adoption of this “Resolution of Intention” is a legally required step for the annexation of properties into the District.

If the Council approves the Resolution of Intention attached hereto, the Council will then hold a public hearing on September 7, 2022 annexing the properties. Because it has received petitions, the Council is legally required to adopt a Resolution of Intention and to hold a public hearing at the date set by the Resolution of Intention. The Council must adopt a Resolution of Intention within 90 days of its receipt of the Developers’ petitions. After holding the public hearing, the Council may decide whether or not it desires to adopt a resolution annexing properties into the Community Facilities District.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Properties included in the Community Facilities District are required to pay a special tax.

The Transit Services CFD No. 2013-3 tax rate for each qualified property for the 2021/22 fiscal year was $183.36 per dwelling unit or transient rental room. The total special tax requirement for the District was $19,436.16. Annexation of the properties included in this resolution would add eight properties subject to levy of future taxes. The Obsidian Phase 2 Remainder parcel is entitled for four units which are currently under construction. The remaining seven properties are currently vacant: the Villas 3 parcel has approved entitlements for 33 units, the group of three Yotel parcels has approved entitlements for 177 units, and the remaining three properties at Joaquin and Meridian have no approved entitlements.

This tax revenue is added to and does not replace other transit fees and Local, State, and Federal revenue the Town uses for Transit Services in the Town for guests and residents.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The annual resolution for special taxing districts as a mechanism for funding maintenance is Categorically Exempt per section 15060(c)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act.

ANNEX TERRITORY INTO A COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT AND TO

AUTHORIZE THE LEVY OF SPECIAL TAXES

TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2013-3
(TRANSIT SERVICES)
ANNEXATION NO. 5
WHEREAS, under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Sections 53311 and following, California Government Code; hereafter referred to as the “Act”), the Town Council of the Town of Mammoth Lakes (the “Town”) previously conducted proceedings to establish the Town of Mammoth Lakes Community Facilities District No. 2013-3 (Transit Services) (the “District”); and WHEREAS, this Town Council has received a Petition (including Waivers) from the landowners requesting to annex territory into the District under the Act, to provide for the services and maintenance related to the Town-wide transit system; and WHEREAS, under the Act, this Town Council is the legislative body for the proposed annexation of territory to the District and is empowered with the authority to annex territory to the District and to levy special taxes within the annexation territory; and WHEREAS, this Town Council now desires to commence proceedings to consider the annexation of territory to the District.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Town Council of the Town of Mammoth Lakes, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE as follows:

1. This Town Council proposes to begin the proceedings necessary to annex territory to the District pursuant to the Act.

2. The name of the existing District is Town of Mammoth Lakes, Community Facilities District No. 2013-3 (Transit Services).

3. A general description of the territory included in the existing District is shown on the map recorded in the office of the County Recorder for the County of Mono on March 21, 2013, in Book 2 at Page 76 of Maps of Assessments and Community Facilities Districts, to which map reference is hereby made.

4. The territory now proposed to be annexed to the District is shown on Annexation Map No. 5 of the District on file with the Town Clerk, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, which Exhibit is, by this reference, incorporated herein. The boundaries of which territory are hereby preliminarily approved and to which map reference is hereby made for further particulars. The Town Clerk is hereby directed to record, or cause to be recorded, said Annexation Map No. 5 of the District

Page 49 of 150 ends

in the office of the County Recorder of the County of Mono within fifteen days of the date of adoption of this Resolution.

5. The types of services to be funded by the District and pursuant to the Act consist of those services (the “Services”) described in Exhibit B to Resolution No. 13-14 entitled “A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Mammoth Lakes Declaring its Intention to Establish a Community Facilities District and to Authorize the Levy of Special Taxes” adopted by the Town Council on March 18, 2013 (the “Resolution of Intention”), which Resolution of Intention is, by this reference, incorporated herein. It is presently intended that the Services will relate to the existing territory in the District and the territory proposed to be annexed to the District.

6. Except to the extent that funds are otherwise available to the District to pay for the Services, a special tax sufficient to pay the costs thereof, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the District (including the property being annexed thereto), will be levied annually within the District and collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, or in such other manner as this Town Council shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax among the parcels of real property within the District, as now in existence and following the annexation proposed herein, in sufficient detail to allow each landowner within the territory proposed to be annexed to the District to estimate the maximum amount such owner will have to pay, is described in Exhibit C to the Resolution of Intention.

7. The special tax proposed to be levied for Services to be supplied within the proposed territory to be annexed will be equal to the special taxes levied to pay for the same Services in the District, except that a higher or lower special tax may be levied within the proposed territory to be annexed to the extent that the actual cost of providing the Services in that territory is higher or lower than the cost of providing those Services in the existing District. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the special tax may not be levied at a rate which is higher than the maximum special tax authorized to be levied pursuant to the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax.

8. Notice is given that on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the regular meeting place of this Town Council in the Council Chambers, Suite Z, 437 Old Mammoth Road, Minaret Village Shopping Center, Town of Mammoth Lakes, California, and the same are hereby appointed and fixed as the time and place when and where this Town Council, as legislative body for the District, will conduct a public hearing on the annexation of territory to the District and consider and finally determine whether the public interest, convenience, and necessity require said annexation of territory to the District and the levy of said special tax therein.

9. The Town Clerk is hereby directed to cause notice of said public hearing to be given by publication one time in a newspaper published in the area of the District. The publication of said notice shall be completed at least seven days before the date herein set for said hearing. The notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

10. This Resolution shall take effect upon its adoption.

Title: Council Policy Position on AB 1666 and SCA 10 Related to Abortion and Reproductive Rights.

Council Meeting Date: 7/20/2022
Prepared by: Daniel C. Holler, Town Manager
Recommended Motion: Council position(s) on the adopted Assembly Bill 1666 (AB 1666) and State Constitutional Amendment Proposal (SCA 10) is a matter of Council policy and no recommendation is provided.

Summary:

Councilmember Rea requested that these legislative items be placed on the agenda for discussion and potential action to take a position. The request followed public comment submitted at the previous Council meeting on this matter. The State Legislature and Governor has approved Assembly Bill 1666 relating to abortion and protections for any person from another state coming to California for an abortion. The State also approved a State Constitutional Amendment (SCA 10) related to reproductive rights. AB 1666 was approved by the legislature and signed by the Governor. Therefore, no action is necessary related to supporting passage of AB 1666. SCA 10 will place a proposed Constitutional Amendment on the November ballot for consideration regrading reproductive rights in the State of California. A copy of AB 1666 and SCA 10 are attached for refence. The actions passed by the legislature follows the Supreme Court ruling in the Dobbs Case which placed the question of abortion rights back to the individual states.

Pastor Mark A. Smith
I would like to thank all the Town Council members for their hard work and diligence in making the Town of Mammoth Lakes a wonderful place to live or visit! Thank you!
Regarding policy matters: 10.1 on the Council’s agenda tonight, I request that the Council take no position on this matter. (Council Policy Position on AB 1666 and SCA 10) Looking at the rest of the agenda, simply as an example of the regular and even rare things the Town deals with, it is clear that this particular matter does not directly relate to the operations, management, or improvement of our town, nor any areas of the Town’s governance.

Thankfully the Town of Mammoth Lakes cares about the well-being of all our residents, and this has been effectively carried out as you have worked hard to keep the Town’s leadership vision and work efforts focused on matters that pertain to the Town of Mammoth Lakes.

With great respect and gratitude,
Mark Allan Smith

Title: Agreement with Elk Mountain Technology for Updated Radio Communications Evaluation, Planning, and Migration.

Council Meeting Date: 7/20/2022
Prepared by: Daniel C. Holler
Recommended Motion: Authorize the Town Manager to sign the agreement with Elk Mountain Technology for work related to the Evaluation, Planning, and Migration for new Radio Communications System in an amount not to exceed $50,000.

Summary: The Town is actively working with Mono County and the Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District to upgrade the public safety radio communications system. Several options have been evaluated over the past few years including transitioning to the California Radio Interoperable System (CRIS). The system provides a statewide public safety, interoperable radio system which allows all participating agencies the ability to communicate seamlessly internally as well as interagency without developing their own systems. The Town and Fire District contracted with Elk Mountain Technology to complete a final review of CRIS as a preferred system. The work has confirmed that CRIS will provide enhanced and updated communications capabilities. The Town and Fire District are continuing to finalize site upgrades and review agreements with the State for future consideration prior to proceeding with the new system.

The transition to CRIS by Mono County is also under consideration and Elk Mountain Technology is set to assist the County. The connection of CRIS to Mono County Dispatch and the interoperability of communications throughout the County is also an important element to the Town. The dispatch component will be a critical piece to the success of the system. The proposed agreement with Elk Mountain Technology includes the analysis of CRIS and its application to Mono County and the connectivity to dispatch. Utilizing a single agreement for this work was the most efficient means to ensure the Town’s transition to CRIS will be seamless including the connection to Dispatch.

The proposed scope of work addresses the Town’s outstanding need related to dispatch and addresses interoperability with Mono County. The proposed agreement cost of $50,000 will be shared with Mono County ($35,000) and the Town ($15,000). The Town will manage the contract and bill the County accordingly. The Town has allocated funding for this Radio Project. The Council has received past updates on the process and the need for an updated/new public safety radio communications system.

Staff is recommending Council authorize the Town Manager to sign the proposed Agreement with Elk Mountain Technology related to the Evaluation, Planning, and Migration for new Radio Communications System utilizing CRIS as the preferred alternative.

Title: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Town and Whitebark Institute supporting fuels reduction projects on Town property.

Council Meeting Date: 7/20/2022
Prepared by: Daniel C. Holler, Town Manager
Recommended Motion: Authorize the Town Manager to sign final Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Town and Whitebark Institute subject to final legal review.

Summary: The Whitebark Institute of Interdisciplinary Environmental Sciences (Whitebark Institute) was awarded a CalFire Forest Health grant that includes doing fire fuels reduction work on Town properties. The total grant award was for $4,913,907.81. Work will also be done on private and other public property (i.e., Camp High Sierra and USFS land). A brief overview of the project is attached. Whitebark has requested the Town enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the work to be completed on Town properties. This includes work on the BellShaped Property and on parcels owned along a section of Mammoth Creek. These properties are noted on the attached map.

The project will be implemented in two phases. The first phase is for a registered professional qualified forester to prepare the scope of the work on the properties. The forester will prepare the plan for the fuels reduction work. The plan will need to be reviewed under CEQA prior to implementation. CalFire will be the lead agency for this process. A contractor will be selected to conduct the work. The work on the Town parcels is anticipated to be complete within 24 months.

The MOU sets forth the Town’s willingness to assist with the project through outreach and providing information. The forester and contractor will need to secure all required permits for conducting the work. This is not considered a Town project and we will have no responsibility or liability associated with the planning process or the fuels removal project. The Town is supportive of the work program to reduce fuels on these properties to reduce the threat of catastrophic fire.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Approve the Town of Mammoth Lakes FY22-23 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

Meeting Date: July 20, 2022
Prepared by: Haislip Hayes, PE Public Works Director
Dan Holler, Town Manager
Rob Patterson, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Town Council approve the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan.

BACKGROUND:

On September 1, 2021, Town Council approved the current version of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). In December of 2021 Staff proposed that Town Council consider a Long-range CIP to manage and advance a number of the Town’s strategic goals on a horizon exceeding the current 5-year CIP and to support the ongoing Development Impact Fee (DIF) Study. After this meeting Staff revised the 5-year CIP and the Long-range CIP and presented the documents to the Recreation Commission (February 9, 2022) and the Planning and Economic Development Commissions (March 2, 2022). Staff incorporated comments received from these commissions. On March 16, 2022, Staff presented a revised 5-year CIP and Long-range CIP to Town Council. After a Staff presentation and discussion by Town Council there was consensus to advance the draft document and associated projects. Government Code Section 65401 requires the Town’s planning agency to review and report on proposed CIP projects for conformity with the General Plan. The Planning and Economic Development Commission (PEDC) is the Town’s designated planning agency. On July 13, 2022, Staff presented the draft CIP along with a matrix demonstrating each project’s conformance with the General Plan. The Planning & Economic Development Commission adopted a resolution confirming that the 5-year CIP is consistent with the General Plan.

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:

The 5-Year CIP is the Town of Mammoth Lakes plan for short and mid-range capital facilities and infrastructure implementation. The plan is well coordinated with the ongoing maintenance of facilities and infrastructure as well as the development of new infrastructure. The CIP provides a linkage between the Town General Plan, Strategic Priorities, the budget, and various master planning documents, and provides a means for planning, scheduling, and implementing capital projects over the next five years. The 5- year Capital Improvement Plan attempts to program the highest priority Capital Projects and Maintenance and Rehabilitation Projects for the next five-year period. Projects included in the Five-Year CIP are generally non-recurring projects that generally cost

Page 87 of 150 ends

2 $25,000 or more and have a long service life. CIP expenditures are considered beyond the scope of normal annual operating or maintenance expenditures and work programs.

CIP Process and Structure
The draft Five-Year CIP is designed to be reviewed at least twice a year and revised based on current circumstances and opportunities. Revisions made with the budget process and during the third quarter adjustment should consider historic requirements and expenditures for capital projects. The funding for the CIP may also be considered with the close out of the Fiscal Year analysis on fund balances. While the Five-Year Plan does not appropriate funds, it does serve as a planning tool to identify needed capital projects, estimate capital requirements, and coordinate financing and timing. The CIP identifies projects for annual funding, focuses resources in program areas, and supports planning recommendations.

Where appropriate, the CIP identifies project impacts on future operating budgets, including additional staffing, maintenance, and other recurring operational expenditures that require ongoing funding that must be considered in the planning and approval of projects. In general, the full cost of the project will be identified in the fiscal year work is proposed to begin; however, most projects will take more than one fiscal year to complete.

In all cases a project is fully funded at the time of construction contract award and the annual budgeting of multi-year projects is represented in the Finance Department’s annual budget. In some cases, incremental steps or phases of large projects will be taken with future work dependent on funding. For this reason, Staff will carry over aspects of multiyear projects in the CIP for reference. This helps to maintain focus on new project development, scheduling, and financing. Future reports will have background information on completed projects and those in process looking back at least three years. The CIP includes some planning projects intended to help the Council understand impacts to staffing, work programs, and upcoming projects. Many of these planning projects require significant staff resources.

The 5-year CIP will include a large variety and number of projects. To allow focused and comparative evaluation and decision-making, facilities will be grouped by the following general categories:
 Affordable Housing (AF). Includes capital projects that advance the Town’s housing goals. Includes development of The Parcel and other Town owned land and creative solutions to attain additional community housing for the local workforce.  Airport (AP). The Town of Mammoth Lakes owns and operates “The MammothYosemite Airport” (MMH). The facility is located within the Town limits six miles south of the Town on Highway 395. The facility includes hangars, a commercial terminal building, runway and apron, and support vehicles and equipment.  General Facilities (GF). The category includes Town owned structures and equipment. This includes the municipal corporation yard on Commerce Drive. The corporate garage maintains Town vehicles as well as vehicles and equipment for ESTA,

Page 88 of 150 ends

3 MLPD, MLFPD, MCOE, & MUSD. Structures specific to Transit are categorized as TT.
 Police Department (PD). The Town of Mammoth Lakes owns the MLPD Police Station. Regular maintenance and improvements are the responsibility of the Town of Mammoth Lakes. The maintenance of the MLPD fleet is managed under general facilities.
 Parks and Recreation (PR). Projects within this category are related to the numerous park facilities owned and managed by the Town. This category has been subdivided by park facility.
 Storm Drain Projects (SD). This category includes all drainage related facilities within the Town, including storm drains, culverts, inlets, and basins.  Streetscape and Signage (SS). Includes street side landscaping, furniture, banners and decorations, and wayfinding signage.
 Streets (ST). This category includes capital improvements within the 118 miles of public right-of-way in the Town. The improvements may include reconstruction of roadways, new traffic signals or streetlights, and new curb and gutter.  Sidewalks (SW). This section contains all of the Town sidewalks.  Trails (TR). The Town is responsible for a large network of multi-use paths and trails.

This system is managed within this category.
 Transit and Mobility (TT). Includes bus shelters, signs, and structures used to maintain and store transit vehicles.

The CIP now includes a Long-range project list. The purpose is to identify projects which are important, but implementation and funding extend beyond the five-year window. Some of these Long-range projects may not be fully developed and ready to be placed in the 5- year CIP. The Long-range project list also supports the ongoing and future Development Impact Fee study. The CIP does not include all capital purchases and programs. For example, the Town has a robust vehicle replacement program, which is managed separately from the CIP. We regularly set aside funding to update technology (hardware and software) outside of the CIP. We provide departmental or Town wide contingency funding to address emergency repairs or equipment failures. The CIP also may include joint projects with other agencies, such as the communications project, anticipated to be done jointly with Mono County and/or other jurisdictions.

Project Outlook
The FY22-23 CIP Project outlook represents 12 carry-over projects from FY21-22 and 28 new projects in development, planning, or poised for construction. A brief description of

Page 89 of 150 ends

4 the projects is included in the draft CIP FY22-23 Project Summary. The budget breakdown including funding sources for FY21-22 Carry-over and FY22-23 projects are included in Table 1 and Table 2. Of the nearly $28M expected to be expended on public facilities in FY22-23 about 43% will come from the general fund. Much of the general fund contribution is dedicated to housing related projects. Other project changes for FY22-23 include housing project allocations for the Bridge Program and private-public partnerships.

There are two childcare projects funded in FY22-23. The first will be located at The Parcel the second will be constructed on Mammoth Lakes Foundation (MLF) property using portable classrooms. The classrooms will be effectively free to the Town as surplus from the High School remodel. Also located on the MLF property is a new snow storage site and Dog Park. Only minor security and access improvements are proposed for the snow storage site. The Dog Park received funding from T-Mobile which has been supplemented with Town General Fund dollars to expand the scope of the project. The Dog Park will include support facilities such as parking, shade, water and other amenities. Finally, the Town has a number of transportation related projects occurring over the next year, including the construction of the Chaparral Road extension, a parking lot in the Parcel, and the construction of sidewalks on Laurel Mountain Road
The following pie chart (Chart 1) depicts the breakdown of the FY22-23 funding sources.

FY22-23 Funding Sources
Chart 1

Page 90 of 150 ends

5 The FY22-23 CIP program is well established, and staff has started working on many of these projects. At this time all but one of the proposed FY22-23 projects is funded. Not all of the projects represent traditional CIP work. The allocation of funding for creative housing solutions is not tied to a specific project but is listed based on Council priorities.

Similarly, there are place holders for SB1, Road Rehabilitation work, and Parks Improvements and Maintenance. Through existing procedures distinct projects will be developed using these funds, at which time the specific project will be reflected in the CIP as its own element. These projects will come to Town Council for approval prior to incorporation.

Looking at the opportunities in the FY23-24 program it is clear that there are significant gaps in project funding. Most of the projects identified are currently unfunded however, it is anticipated that throughout the year funding for these projects will be identified. Staff also anticipates that through successful grant writing new projects will be added to this list.

Looking even further into the future the subsequent three years hold even more uncertainty.

This uncertainty provides opportunity for the Council to determine what projects will be advanced and funded. Specific projects that may be incorporated into the CIP will be brought forward as opportunities arise. This provides the Council an opportunity to fully fund or reserve funding for projects in the following or future years. Intentionally, this is being coordinated at a time of year when historically the Town has a better idea of what potential financial resources may be available. It also provides an opportunity to adjust the work program before it is complete. The proposed FY23-24 program is included as Table

3. The current FY23-24 work program will undoubtedly change over the next year as opportunities present themselves along with funding resources. As it stands today the program includes about $35M in public improvements. $20M of this is related to the mostly unfunded Civic Center project. This example is used to draw attention to the dynamic and evolving capital needs of the Town. The shortfall in funding is shown as a General Fund, uncommitted amount. Chart 2 shows the current funding sources for FY23-24. At this time last year 55% of the future year CIP was unfunded.

6 FY23-24 Funding Sources
Chart 2
Table 4 represents the complete 5-year CIP. Many of the projects in outlying years are there as place holders waiting for funding to be allocated. These projects have been discussed by Council and/or are identified in existing Town documents. This Table represents the totality of the 5-year program and offers the most opportunity for Council participation. At future Council meetings Staff will be looking for consensus on projects the Council desires to advance and those they wish not to pursue. This is inclusive of projects on or off the current list. As part of the presentation and approval process staff will walk through these tables and associated charts and provide opportunity for Council to respond to the proposed opportunities and provide direction. The results of this conversation will be included in the final draft at which time CIP final project sheets, tables, and charts will be completed and incorporated into the final document.

Project Analysis
Several factors are considered in preparing a Capital Improvement Program. The primary one for the Town is the availability and restriction of funding. Some of our current projects are funded with restricted revenues such as grants, State or Federal funds or Town funds such as Measure R and U, gas tax or assessment districts. This often results in what may be a lower priority project being funded over a high priority one. CIP projects are also reviewed to address the following needs:

Page 92 of 150 ends

7  To address legal requirements such as ADA, safety requirements, or hazardous conditions.
 To extend the useful life and reduce maintenance costs of existing capital investments such as roads, MUP’s, sidewalks, storm drains, curbs & gutters, and airport improvements.
 To address deferred maintenance in parks, the Airport, and other Town facilities.  To support and enhance mandated and core services such as solid waste, emergency services, communications, drainage, pedestrian improvements, transit improvements, traffic signals and signage.
 To expand and improve community services and amenities such as the CRC, MACC, trails, and parks.
 To meet identified community needs and Council strategic priorities such as affordable housing, parking, and mobility needs.

STAFFING CONSIDERATIONS:

The FY22-23 CIP represent a significant workload that is much larger than previous years While no changes to current public works staffing was proposed in the FY22-23 budget, it is very likely that additional resources will need to be secured to help manage these projects. Where permitted the cost of these resources will be billed to the grant or incorporated into the budget. If the Council desires additional projects be initiated, staffing will have to be carefully considered as part of the effort as well as the potential to defer other projects. Additionally, if such a workload is expected to continue for more than a season, permanent staffing changes and restructuring may be considered.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

All but one of the FY22-23 projects are funded. Beyond FY22-23 funding becomes less certain. The Town’s current financial planning and budget process have provided a very workable and effective means of funding unforeseen budgetary needs and capital projects.

This process is recommended to continue going forward. The 5-year CIP is designed to assist in prioritizing projects and funding allocations through a regular process. Annual funding recommendations and adjustments are recommended as part of the 3rd quarter budget review. This can also mean shifting project priorities. As part of the audit process and later discussion on available fund balances also represents an opportunity for funding, provided other fiscal policies are met such as reserve levels, cash flow, increased costs for existing projects, or other unforeseen impacts. The proposed program has some room for modifications, but staff would recommend at this time that any non-priority projects be placed on hold and if other projects are requested that the funding be identified through the discussed budget review process.

Dear Ms. Gray, Please add this to the town agenda packet Dear Council Members,
When discussing your upcoming Capital Improvement plan, I am requesting you to add some dollars to improving the ML Community Tennis Courts and the accompanying park.

The courts used to be kept up and there were tournaments, kids clinics, week long tennis camps and Saturday socials.

The courts are (were) used be many locals and guests alike and great asset to our resort community. They are now greatly in need of repair and are hazardous to play on.

The town has done a good job on Shady Rest Park, a new Frisbee Golf Park, a state of the art ice skating rink and a proposed Dog park. Mammoth really needs good community tennis courts and not a Mobility Center or parking structure.

Thank You,
Buck Wahl

In the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan, under Parks and Recreation, there is no specific mention of the tennis courts.

What portion of the 5-year $600k Parks Maintenance and Improvements budget will go to the Community Courts? The courts are currently in such poor condition that two are actually closed and the others are unsafe to use. Tennis is an amenity that all destination resort communities provide! Without them, there can be no children’s programs, clinics, and lessons for residents and visitors alike.

Please consider allocating monies to the much needed restoration of our beloved community courts.

Dear Jamie,
Please include this letter in the Town Council’s materials before their Wednesday Meeting. Thank you! Jeanne Oakeshott
(P.S. I hope you and your family are well!)
Dear TOML Town Council Members:

I am writing to express my dismay that the Community Center tennis courts are not included in the Parks and Recreation section of the 5-Year CIP. The local tennis community has been vocal about the value of these courts to both residents and visitors alike. Your own Parks & Recreation Master Plan and Plan Your Parks emphasize the importance of municipal courts. I am writing to encourage you to amend the plan and allocate funds towards this valuable community recreational resource.

In the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan, under Parks and Recreation, there is no specific mention of the tennis courts.

What portion of the 5-year $600k Parks Maintenance and Improvements budget will go to the Community Courts? The “ resurfacing" efforts have been futile and a waste of money. At a minimum, funds should be allocated to rebuild courts 5 & 6 now. Please add these courts as a specifically-funded line item.

While I am aware there is support for a dog park in town, I find it hard to imagine that there is going to be $500k over the next 5 years reserved for this purpose and no specific funds for the tennis courts.

In conclusion, please conform to the very planning documents that should be directing this Capital Improvement Plan and allocate funds to begin the process of rebuilding the Community Courts.

Thank you,
Jeanne Oakeshott

Could we please maintain the Community Tennis courts. They are a joy to play on and have been a source of recreation for my family since 1985, when I moved to Mammoth, and even before when my dad was a second homeowner. They are nestled in a perfect location and much less windy than Snowcreek. Let’s put these courts in the budget, please.

Dear Mrs Gray, please add my letter to the town council agenda packet concerning CIP.

Dear Town Council,
As you discuss the CIP, I ask that you include the repair and rebuilding of the community tennis courts. They are in horrible shape, two of them are unplayable, and the other four in dangerous condition. The Park and Rec Master plan emphasizes the importance of these courts, but year after year they are sorely neglected. With $600,000 allocated to a dog park , once again it seems that the locals are not being heard. And One tennis court and two pickle ball courts on the old ice rink will not suffice.

Sincerely
Margaret Wahl

Hi Jamie,
Would you please add my comments to the Town Council agenda packet? Thank you.

Dear Town Council,
I am asking you to please include tennis court maintenance in the 5-year $600,000 budget, which the Parks and Rec Master Plan & Plan Your Parks emphasizes to include municipal courts. Right now the courts have large cracks running across every court that need attention, and I’m sure you know that 2 courts are not even functional. All destination resorts provide tennis courts for public use. Ours are embarrassing. We have a larger population than Bishop, and the 4 courts down there are well maintained and well used because of that.

Honestly, it is disheartening to me that the Town will provide a covered ice hockey rink, and is now looking to spend the budget on a dog park and parking lot, yet ignore the tennis courts that will continue to degrade without yearly professional maintenance.

Thank you for considering budgeting yearly professional maintenance of our community courts.

Subject: Community Courts!
Dear Fellow Tennis Players:

The TOML Town Council will be approving its 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) at this Wednesday’s meeting. It is imperative that the Council hears from us NOW before they decide how they will allocate funding for the next five years. Tell your reasons for wanting functional town courts and below are some of the issues you may choose to bring up in your letter. Send your short email to [email protected], with a note asking her to put it in the Town Council agenda packet. Please send by tomorrow so that the Council will receive your input in time!
 In the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan, under Parks and Recreation, there is no specific mention of the tennis courts. What portion of the 5-year $600k Parks Maintenance and Improvements budget will go to the Community Courts? At a minimum, funds should be allocated to rebuild courts 5 & 6 now.

2  The 5-year (CIP) proposes a dog park on Mammoth Lakes Foundation land for $600,000 total: $200K for dog park and $400K for parking, shade, water. ($100k coming from a grant. )  No money for tennis but a five year, $600k plan for a dog park?  The Parks & Rec Master Plan & Plan Your Parks emphasize the importance of municipal courts. Without a tennis court line item, the CIP is NOT in conformance with the P&RMP or the PYP regarding the municipal tennis courts. Therefore, it's not in conformance with the Town's General Plan.  The courts are currently in such poor condition that two are actually closed the others are fairly unsafe to use. Tennis is an amenity that all destination resort communities provide! Without them, there can be no children’s programs, clinics, and lessons for residents and visitors alike.

Please take a few minutes to make your wishes known! (Thank you to Sandy Hogan who has advocated for all of us players for years and provided this information.)
Sincerely,
Jeanne

Hello,
I am a regular visitor to Mammoth Lakes as I own a condo here in town. I am typically here during the summer months. I am an avid tennis player and have always looked forward to playing on the Community courts. Prior to COVID pandemic, I always played on the community courts and many other players were also using the community courts.

Private clubs such as Snowcreek can be costly to be a member and I would only use the tennis courts.

I would certainly appreciate the availability of the community courts to play. The current conditions comprise the players’ safety and the control of the ball depending where and how it bounces.

Please put the tennis courts on your agenda for discussion. The community of Mammoth Lakes needs the community courts.

Thank you for your consideration.

Please include this letter in the Town Council agenda packet for this week's meeting.

Dear Town Council Members - I am writing to urge the Town Council to allocate substantial funds to repair and improve the community tennis courts in its 5-Year Captial Improvement Plan. The community courts are a valuable recreational resource for residents (and visitors) and have long been neglected. It is time to devote dedicated funds to bring this community "gem" back to life. There are literally no other public/free tennis courts in the community at this time (and the one future court at the old skate rink will not make up for the 6 neglected courts the town already has). Please don't let this opportunity pass the community by.

Best,
Lee Ann Wood
P.S. FYI While my husband and I lived in Mammoth for 11 years, we now live in Swall Meadows.

Yet, we still own an apartment building in Mammoth (for 20+ years) and as such, we are very much invested in the future of Mammoth and want to see its residents thrive.

Dear Jamie,
Could you please enter this email into correspondence for the Town Council to review prior to this weeks meeting? Thank you.

Town of Mammoth Lakes Council
Dear Councillors,
As you prepare to develop the 5 year Capital Improvements Budget for Mammoth Lakes please give consideration to providing capital for the rehabilitation and rebuild of the town tennis courts on Forest Trail.

The courts have been a valuable asset over the years and have been part of tournaments of 500-600 players, High School Teams practice and Town Recreation Department programming, in addition to use by guests and locals alike.

In the last three years several courts have not been maintained and two courts have been closed for use as they sit in disgraceful neglect. The remaining courts are barely acceptable for play as the cracks and bumps and rolls often make for un-playable shots. Many players, guests and locals alike show up to the courts, see the state of disrepair and neglect, and walk away, disappointed they are unable to play. We invited folks to visit Mammoth and there is nothing for them once they arrive.

All of these problems have arisen because you, our Town Council, have not made a strategic leadership decision to make a commitment to maintaining and operating tennis and racquetball courts in Mammoth Lakes.

Please recognize that tennis and racquetball have a legitimate place in our town’s recreational offerings for guests and locals. Fund the courts!
Thank you.

Hello,
My husband and I have been summer residents of Mammoth Lakes for many many years. We stay at a home that overlooks the community courts and have noticed that they are in particularly bad condition this summer. So much so, that many tennis players are now concerned about playing there and tripping on the fault lines that permeate the courts. We are also tennis players and would love to see the courts refurbished so that they are safe for play. Community courts are a valuable outdoor resource for people of all ages and therefore should be a priority for the city to maintain. Please

Hello, we are has been part-time residence here for many many years and have enjoyed playing tennis on the community courts every summer. This year, the courts are in particularly bad condition, so much so that many of our fellow players refuse to play for fear of tripping on the many large faults that permeate the courts. Tennis courts should be considered a community treasure, a fun outdoor venue for people of every age. We urge you to dedicate enough funds to re-refurbish and maintain the courts completely so that they can once again be a valued resource in our community.

Please include my comments to the Town Council when it considers the CIP at the next meeting.

The Community Center Park tennis courts are in desperate need of rehabilitation. The cracks in the asphalt courts have gotten worse each year and are now dangerous enough that repairs are no longer worth while. The court surfaces need to be replaced. The latest effort to fill large cracks with tar is a disgrace. Someone is going to twist and/or break an ankle. The Community Center Park is a magnificent location for a tennis facility and should not be allowed to degenerate into a safety liability.

I am writing to ask that the disposition of the town's Community Tennis Courts be included in the discussion. Their condition has become so deteriorated, that we won't play there anymore for fear of injury. Perhaps you can consider just replacing and improving 2 of the courts? I can't see the need and expense for a dog park when there are many nearby places dogs can go off leash, but the same can't be said about free tennis being available.

Thank you for your consideration.

The current state of the courts isn't safe and it's unfortunate for visitors to discover the status of the courts when they want to play a match on their vacation. Mammoth should offer tennis as one of the recreational offerings to visitors. Tennis is also a wonderful family sport which should be accessible to all residents as well.

Subject: July 20, 2022 Town Council Meeting - Item #10.4 [EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Jamie, thank you for including my comments to the Town Council agenda item #10.4 Mayor Salcido and Town Councilmembers:

I applaud staff and the Council for an ambitious Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which is outlined in Agenda Item #10.4. The list is fairly comprehensive, except for a glaring oversight - the lack of funds allocated for the replacement of tennis courts at Community Center Park.

In the Community Economic Resilience Fund (agenda item #7.1), objectives outlined in the Destination Resort Community and Economic Strategy (DRCEDS) include:
** “determine gaps in tourism amenities within town”
** “dedicate resources to attract, support and coordinate the production of town-wide events and major new festivals”.
** “The Town should expand its recreation and resort business in order to attract more visitors…….and function as a destination resort.”
Tennis is a lifetime sport for all ages, and Tennis Tournaments, which have been offered in the past, can and do attract visitors to the Town, in addition to providing recreational opportunities for the community. HOWEVER, classes, camps and tournaments cannot be offered on inferior tennis courts. Safe and presentable tennis courts are an amenity that can help the Town to become a destination resort.

In a recent staff report, rebuilding Community Center Park tennis courts (6) were deemed to be “cost prohibitive” at $1M. Yet, a total of $600K has been allocated in the CIP budget to create a Dog Park. While a dog park may be needed in the community, so are tennis courts, however, the courts never seem to become a priority. A phased approach to replacing the courts could occur without being a drain on the budget.

The lack of attention to replacing the tennis courts makes me wonder if there are ulterior motives by not making improvements to Community Center Park. Also, this is the only developed park without a proper sign designating the site as a Park. The sign on the Center building is beautiful but it is recessed from the street and not visible. The old wooden sign was removed years ago and never replaced. Why isn’t a sign, similar to Shady Rest and other parks, in the CIP budget? In addition, there is space on the Town sign on Minaret Blvd. near the bus shelter that could direct visitors to the Park.

As mentioned in the staff report, the CIP budget is a place holder for projects and funds can be moved around. As an interested community member, I encourage Town Council to allocate funds for the replacement of Community Center Park tennis courts to the CIP budget.

Best regards,
Pat Agnitch

TOML Town Council,
I’m a long time resident of Mammoth Lakes who spent many of my childhood summer days playing tennis at the community courts. These courts, 4 of which were originally built my dad, Ross Mather, have always been a great amenity to both the residents and visitors of Mammoth Lakes. Now these courts are in great need of repairs. Although I do feel there is a need for a dog park, it would be nice if some money could be set aside to rebuild or repair these courts.

Thank you for your time.

Subject: For the Town Council -- tennis courts
[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Dear Ms. Gray,
For the Town Council packet, agenda item 10.4, regarding tennis courts, or lack thereof.

We bought our house in Mammoth in 1997, the same year that the Mammoth Lakes Tennis Club was being formed.

Since my husband and I were both tennis players at the time (I remain a tennis player, he cannot play any more), we spent a lot of time at the Community Courts, and developed deep friendships with fellow tennis players, friendships we still have. We sold the house in Mammoth in 2003 and built a house in June Lake; we retired here and became full-time residents three years ago. However, because of the condition of the community courts, it is impossible to play on them. And since the Town has not continued the tennis program, I joined Snowcreek so I have a safe place to play tennis and where there is a thriving tennis program. And I am not the only person who has opted to join Snowcreek because of lack of other options.

Over the years, I went to countless meetings talking about Town “improvements” and plans, going back to the day when there was a notion that a parking structure would be raised where the community courts are now, and the tennis courts would be put on the top floor. There were a number of objections about why that plan was untenable and therefore abandoned, but the pressure to keep tennis courts, and a tennis program, continued. It is unfortunate that that has not come to pass. Further, my understanding is that if there are plans for a tennis court, there might be one near the library (where the skating rink is now), but I am not sure that is even confirmed. However, I do understand that there is money being allocated for a dog park and parking on the land that will be associated with the new MACC. However, there are no funds to improve the existing community courts.

It is my understanding that the Parks and Recreation Master Plan emphasized the importance of municipal tennis courts which are used by both locals and visiting guests; we once saw Tracy Austin, the famous tennis player using those courts with her family, which was quite a thrill for a tennis player. Those courts are now unplayable, quite frankly, which does not send a good or welcoming message about recreation in Mammoth. It basically says if you want to come here to play tennis or pickle ball, you have to go to a private club and pay for it. If municipal courts are important enough to highlight in the Master Plan, why are they not now in the budget? Nothing against dog parks – I am a dog lover and have a dog – but there are plenty of places to take dogs (on leash, of course) for nice walks, but few places to play tennis.

Living in June Lake, I know that there are no tennis courts in this community, and I gladly drive to Mammoth a number of times a week in the summer to play tennis, and down to Bishop in the winter where we play on their municipal courts. While the popularity of tennis has ebbed and flowed over time, there were always a core group of people playing tennis on the community courts in Mammoth, many of whom have migrated to Snowcreek. As you think about planning and budgeting, my plea, as a tennis player, would be to please think more about investing in our community tennis courts for those of us who live here, and for those who visit. We will all thank you! Sincerely,

I'm all for the proposal for a dog park in your 5 year Capital Improvement Plan. It is much needed in Mammoth. But also needed now is money to be allocated for the repairs of the community tennis courts. At this time, some of the courts are dangerous to play on because of all the cracks and bumps on the surface. At minimum, funds should be allocated to repair two courts at a time.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Dear Mammoth Lakes Town Council,
I wanted to voice my concerns and offer some suggestions regarding your upcoming meeting to approve your 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). First off, I have been a full time resident and businessman of Mammoth / Mono County for nearly 50 years. In this time I have seen the community flourish and often struggle with growing pains. I served on the Mono County Planning Commission for six years so I am familiar with the planning and political process you face.

Here are some thoughts:

Please put some serious thought into refurbishing or rebuilding the Community Tennis Courts. They are a serious liability to anybody who plays tennis. There are massive cracks running through most of the courts. My suggestion? Take the Town Council for a field trip to inspect the facility. They are dangerous if not unplayable. They were repaired recently but not correctly. You need to either hire an experienced contractor to repair the damage or rebuild from scratch.

Seriously, you have a liability issue at hand.

And, $600K for a dog park?!? Really? With a plethora of public land surrounding our town, do we really need to spend money on a dog park? Pet owners can walk or drive a short distance to access USFS / BLM lands as easily as they could access the proposed dog park. Please don’t waste our money on a frivolous, short sighted proposal.

Finally, I believe your Master Plan calls out for municipal tennis courts. The Master Plan is your doctrine to shape the future and integrity of Mammoth Lakes, a foundation to guide your planning process. Please put some consideration into providing useable and safe tennis facilities for the Town.

Thank you for your time,

Jamie: please place my comment in the Councils' agenda packet. Thanks, Sandy Mayor Lynda Salcido and Town Council:

I am writing this to support the inclusion in the 5-year CIP of the total rebuilding for next season of at least two of the Community Center Park's public tennis courts, and the other four within the following years. These courts, until just recently, have been an integral part of our community for many years. I realize that with the onset of Covid, along with the rapid deterioration of some of the courts, that their neglect may have several causes. However, in the past they have been an attraction for residents and Village guests, and I personally know of one tennis-playing couple who, more than twelve years ago, discovered those courts by accident while Village guests, and subsequently purchased two Mammoth properties (one for their retirement) because of those courts (in addition to our other attractions). They "discovered them" by accident, because there is no signage directing Village guests to the courts and children's playground, nor apparent marketing attempts to make guests aware of them. With the current and future development of the Village, it would seem wise to get and keep them in tip-top condition, as they are now a poor reflection of our Town municipal facilities.

As a 27-year resident, who came here in the 1980's to play in the famous "Mammoth Open Tournament" along with another 700 players, I now realize what those two weeks meant to our town in terms of food, lodging, and other revenue. We more recently had a high school tennis team that practiced here, as well as many camps, clinics, youth programs, and private lessons from our summer tennis pros. Currently, there are no individual recreation activities offered for active adult women.

These days need not be gone, as with completely rebuilt courts and the recruitment of a tennis pro by our excellent Parks and Recreation Department, we can once again have a terrific visitor attraction in this hidden jewel of a park. And thanks to the support of Mayor Salcido, our community center once again is an attractive, well-used facility! Thank you for your consideration of my comments,
Sandy Hogan

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Modified Town Council Strategic Priorities and Key Objectives for FY22-23.

Meeting Date: July 20, 2022
Prepared by: Daniel C. Holler, Town Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Consider approval of modifications to the Town Council Strategic Priorities and Key Objectives for FY22-23.

OVERVIEW
The Council has defined a set of strategic priorities and key objectives to guide staff work programs and investment of available resources. The current set of priorities was adopted May 19, 2021 (See Attached). The adoption was post stringent lockdowns and other actions taken in response to COVID-19. The Short-Term Vision was: Sustainable Economic & Social Transition from Pandemic to Recovery reflected the desire of the Council to focus on assisting the community and the Town recover from the associated impacts of the pandemic. The economic transition has been achieved with the return of a healthy economy. The community is still in transition in rebuilding a workforce and lingering impacts of COVID-19, while limited has continued. Impacts on the global economy did and continues to affect the supply chain for materials. The inflationary impacts and concerns on travel is not yet fully know, but this may be dampening some travel. Overall, the economic improvements and Town’s investments, primarily in housing and infrastructure has positioned us well to move from transition to expanded community investment.

The Town has recovered financially following the impact of the economic limits in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our tourism economy has come back very strong setting new records in Transient Occupancy Tax revenues (TOT). The attractiveness of Mammoth Lakes and our surrounding region resulted in both increased visitation and increased room rates, resulting in TOT revenues reaching record levels. Other related revenues also saw growth (i.e., sales tax, property tax, and fees and charges for services). Building activity in the Town remains healthy. Businesses are doing well, with staffing continuing to be a challenge.

The Council last received an update on achievements under each priority area, key objectives, and our ongoing work program on December 15, 2021. The summary of accomplishments and work program provided below builds from the previous report as well as work completed or in process since them.

Page 126 of 150 ends

2 The Town Council continued its conservative approach to budgeting and being strategic in growing ongoing expenses over the past year and in the FY22-23 budget. The combined revenue growth and conservative budget management has resulted in the Town investing directly in achieving Council’s Strategic Priorities, meeting community needs, and maintaining core Town services. In several instances key objectives have now been met or exceeded and are proposed to be updated to reflect ongoing and updated work programs.

The work is reflected in the FY22-23 adopted budget. The Town’s revenue structure is tied to our primary industry of tourism. The success within this industry has created revenues to invest in new opportunities to the benefit of our community.

Strategic Priority and Key Objectives Update
Staff is proposing updates to the short-term vision statement to better reflect the direction Council has provided over the several months and reflect the work program encompassed in the FY23-22 budget. The modified short-term vision is: “Investing in the Sustainability and Resiliency of the Greater Mammoth Lakes Community”. The vision captures current and future efforts being made to improve the overall quality of life for residents, the sustainability of our primary industry and build resiliency into our infrastructure and operations. The Town is continuing to invest in affordable, workforce housing, with additional emphasis on housing for “missing middle” income households. A sustainable workforce is critical to our business community, and this requires attainable community housing alternatives.

The Town has increased its commitment to invest in the sustainability of our natural resources which serve as the primary visitor destination and attraction. The success of the Town is tied directly to the success of the Inyo National Forest and related partnerships.

Our partnership with federal land managers and others has and will continue to build a resilient destination. These efforts include improving amenities, reducing the threat of catastrophic wildfires and improving the health of our ecosystem.

The past year and the FY22-23 budget reflect the highest level of investment in the Town’s capital program in decades. The program touches every aspect of the community. The Town continues to provide quality core municipal services and is investing in new additional areas through our capital program and service investments. The economic stimulus provided by our successful tourism-based economy over the past few years is focused on achieving the Town’s priorities and providing long-term sustainability and resiliency regardless of changing economics and other outside forces. We are investing in families, our youth, improved mobility, housing, recreation for residents and visitors, parks, programs and improving our delivery of services.

The four strategic priority statements and supporting key objectives are recommended to be edited as provided below in “redline format”, with a clean copy of the updated statement attached. In several instances, stated key objectives have now been met or exceeded and are proposed to be updated to reflect ongoing and updated work programs reflected in the FY22-23 Council adopted budget.

Page 127 of 150 ends

3 In several instances, stated key objectives have now been met or exceeded and are proposed to be updated to reflect ongoing and updated work programs reflected in the FY22-23 adopted budget and other longer-term planning and informing documents. The Town continues to provide quality core municipal services and is investing in a few additional areas through our capital program and service investments, such as the new Office of Outdoor Recreation, Arts and Culture Department, provision of childcare facilities (not operations), and pursuit of funding options for expanded fiber deployment to support improved broadband services. Efforts previously undertaken continue to move forward to address State requirements related to solid waste and recycling, implementation of customer facing technology, regional engagement, and ongoing municipal code updates.

This segment of households is often referred to as the “missing middle”. The households are not eligible for state and federal housing programs, with many still priced out of market rate housing.

Programs to assist these households include:
 The Bridge Program: Purchase of market rate housing units and re-sell of units at affordable level to missing middle households. The units are deed restricted to ensure ongoing affordability. The Town works with buyers and may provide down payment assistance as well as the reduced purchase price. The goal is 12 units by end of FY22/23. Five units purchased. Two sold (4bdr, and 3bdr), one in process (2bdr) and two 1bdr units actively being marketed. The Town partners with MLH in this program. Council allocated $1.4 million for this effort.
 New Construction: The Town purchased property at 60 Joaquin Road for new units. Two duplexes are in process to be constructed, with a fall 2023 completion time frame. These are for sale units, targeting missing middleincome households up to 150% of AMI and will be deed restricted. Project has a $2.7 million allocation for purchase, design and construction.  Private Sector Partnership: The Town is working with the private sector to create for sale housing units to be marketed primarily to “missing middle” households. Staff is in discussions on a potential 6-unit project. A $1.5 million allocation supports this effort.
 The Town retains a revolving loan program to “buy back” deed restricted properties.

The Town works in partnership with MLH. Revenue from the Town’s housing fee is used to maintain a $600,000 funding level. Mono County has also committed $300,000 for use in this program.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Subject: Award contract for the Mammoth Yosemite Airport Relocate and Upgrade Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) to Pacific Underground Services.

Meeting Date: July 20, 2022
Written by: Sierra Shultz, Deputy Airport Manager
RECOMMENDATIONS:

Staff recommends the following to Town Council:
 Approve the plans and specifications.
 Award the contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Pacific Underground Services, in the amount of $398,418.00.
 Authorize the Town Manager to execute the construction contract.  Authorize the Deputy Airport Manager to accept the project upon completion.  Authorize the Deputy Airport Manager to review and approve minor revisions to complete the project, up to an additional 15% of the award amount.

BACKGROUND:

The Airport Capital Improvement Plan includes a high priority project, ARFF/Snow Removal Equipment Building, which will house the existing snow removal equipment, Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Vehicle, and ARFF support rooms. The Town received a grant for FY 2022 to complete the design of the ARFF/Snow Removal Equipment Building and will apply for construction funds in FY 2023. The proposed ARFF/SRE Building location will result in a reduction of required clear space for the existing Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) location. It will, therefore, be necessary to relocate the AWOS from its current location to just east of the existing segmented circle and wind cone in order to eliminate the presence of any shelter objects and maintain the required clear space radius around the AWOS. The AWOS must be relocated prior to the construction of the ARFF/SRE Building.

The existing AWOS was installed in 1988 and many sensors and parts are old and outdated and have reached the end of their useful life. The bid includes an upgrade of the AWOS to an AWOS III P/T with all new sensors on a new tower. As part of this project the AWOS will be relocated. The last date to award the bid is July 20, 2022, without incurring additional costs. The FAA Grant funding is in process, and we have not received a final award, but the grant has gone through the initial process and is recommended for funding. The project is critical and will need to be done regardless to retain airport safety and to allow the ARFF/Snow Removal facility to move forward.

The existing AWOS is critical to pilots in receiving reliable weather information at the Mammoth Yosemite Airport. The absence of any sheltering objects is vital to ensure accuracy of the weather data collected and report by the AWOS system. By relocating the AWOS such that the future ARFF/SRE Building is outside the AWOS critical area, pilots can continue to receive accurate weather information. A map/diagram of the location is provided for information.

AGENDA BILL
Subject: Councilmember Reports

Each member of the Town Council is appointed to serve as a Town representative to a number of committees, commissions, and organizations.

These groups meet infrequently and from time to time the representatives will report to the rest of the Council at a regularly scheduled meeting.
