Public Comments:
• Mike – Concerned about spending money on the unknown users. Likes Option #2. Asked if Council was deciding tonight on what to pick. Believes putting 2 fields into that area and putting 8 foot retaining walls here and there, and reducing the amphitheater is not a good idea especially with options at Preston Park. Concerned about the potential shri nking of children population.
• Leslie – Asked to retain a couple of the tennis courts i n plan and segregate the pickleball courts to avoid balls from on sport crossing into the other courts and due to the gr owth of both sports.
• Jeff Markham – Spoke about the legacy trees where the barracks had been removed and the possible loss of them in Options #3 and #4 to accommodate a large sports field. Forwarded to Council on a Poll that was done on Nextdoor and hope you will look at them and listen to another source of information.
• Tommy Bolea – Likes Option #1 as it preserves lots of e xisting trees. Comme nted on the what sports could be brought indoors when it’s cold. Compared natural grass versus Astroturf and the maintenance and upkeep of the fields.
• Grace Silva-Santella – expressed appreciation that you discuss the population numbers in the presentation and asked questions about them . Commented on the landmark trees and the health of the m, they will need some work and a proper budget to maintain the care. The Recreation Commission sent you a recommendation to remove the Sports Pavilion to address the parking needs that can ’t be met by any of the options and maintenance costs .
Commented on the growing desire for pickleball.
7 MINUTES for City Council Meeting of Tuesday, March 21, 2023 Page 8
• Karen Andersen – Excited about the park and the possibilities of the swim center and prefers Option #2 as it maintains the amphitheater and provides the ball parks. Believes the church could be used for a museum.
• Vely Matthews – Likes Option #3. Commented on all the youth sports in Marina and noted there were more youth sports than pickleball o r tennis. Marina serves about 300 children fo r baseball and about 500 for soccer. Hopes Marina leaders will learn to take and incorporate this into our new and fix our new existing f ields that we've been trying so hard to maintain and keep up with. We need more for our youths.
• Nancy Amadeo – Prefers Option #1, it only has one park and it leave more room for quiet recreation an d it also maintains the three historic building. Spoke a bout pr evious counc il approving the naming of the FORTAG in Marina would be called the Veterans Memorial Trail so people walking the rail could reflect on the military history. Commented on the amphitheater.
• Don Hofer – MCP will continue to work with Staff on more o f the details on how we interface from the development to the park. Concerned about the parking along the west side and noted parking should be along Second Avenue . The concern has to do with the fact that the streets in that area are essentially neighborhood streets. Asked if there could be some analysis as to whether or not the major park fields could be accessed off Second Avenue as opposed to the streets within the neighborhood. Expressed concerns about the amphitheater facing the neighborhood with the noise.
• Carrie Burley – Commented on the population concerns with in the youths and spoke about all the children signed up with the your sports programs and not having enough sports fields to accommodate them. Noted there was nothing m entioned about supporting girls’ softball.
Commented on the current condition of trying to play on the Preston Park ball field. • Mike Kennedy – Likes Option #2, best comprom ise between Opt ion #3 and Option #4.
Option. #2 will also keep m ost of, not all of the legacy trees and other substantial trees that provide tremendously beneficial optics.
• Jason Companion – Spoke about working in both adult sports and yo uth sports. Suggested more beach volleyball areas. Likes Option 3.
Medina Dirksen/Delgado: That w e have received a presentatio n about the Dunes City Park, and that we adopt Option #3, with the provision that we work with the MIRA and other observatory fo lks, and that the plan includes two tennis courts ; a nd that we concurrently work to see the viability of improving Preston Park .

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the Marina City Council of April 4, 2023
CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2023-, APPROVING
PARTICIPATION IN NATIONWIDE OPIOID SETTLEMENT LITIGATION WITH TEVA, ALLERGAN, CVS, WALGREENS AND WALMART; AND APPOINTING THE CITY MANAGER AS THE CITY’S AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE TO TAKE ALL REASONABLE AND NECESSARY ACTIONS.
REQUEST:
It is requested that the City Council consider:
1. Adopting Resolution No. 202 3-, approving participation in the Nationwide Opioid Settlement Litigation with Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens and Walmart; and appointing the City Manager as the City’s Authorized Representative to Take All Reasonable and Necessary Actions.
INTRODUCTION
In late 2022, proposed nationwide settlement agreements were reached that would resolve the opioid litigation brought by states and local political subdivisions against three pharmacy chains— CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart —and two additional manufacturers —Allergan and Teva (collectively, “Defendants”). The settlement agreements will require these Defendants to pay more than $18 billion over 15 years to participating states and subdivisions to remediate and abate the impacts of the opioid crisis. The City of Marina (“City”) will receive an allocation of the settlement funds only if it “opts-in” to participate in the litigation settlement no later than April 18, 2023.
BACKGROUND:
Previously, in 2021, nationwide settlements were reached to resolve all opioids litigation brought by states and local political subdivisions against the three largest pharmaceutical distributors — McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen (“Distributors”)—and against manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its parent company Johnson & Johnson (collectively, “J&J”).
These “2021 National Settlements” have been finalized, and payments have already begun. In all, the Distributors will pay up to $21 billion over 18 years, and J&J will pay up to an additional $5 billion over no more than nine years. The City Council previously adopted Resolution 2021-124 to participate in the se settlements. To date, the City has received approximately $31,000 in settlement payments. It’s anticipated that the City will receive fewer dollars in subsequent settlement years.
The 2022 National Settlements were the culmination of many years of intense negotiations among representatives of the State Attorneys General, the court -appointed Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee and Negotiation Committee . Assuming maximum participation, the 2022 National Settlements require:
• Teva to pay up to $3.34 billion over 13 years and to provide either $1.2 billion of its generic version of the drug Narcan over 10 years or $240 million of cash in lieu of product, as each state may elect;
• Allergan to pay up to $2.02 billion over 7 years;
• CVS to pay up to $4.90 billion over 10 years;
• Walgreens to pay up to $5.52 billion over 15 years; and • Walmart to pay up to $2.74 billion in 2023, and all payments to be made within 6 years. 1 In January 2023, each of the Defendants confirmed that a sufficient number of states had agreed to the settlements to move forward. The greater the level of subdivision participation, the more funds will ultimately be paid out for abatement. (These figures include amounts attributable to prior settlements between the Defendants and certain states/subdivisions and amounts for attorneys’ fees and costs.)
Under the 2022 National Settlements, at least 85% of the funds going directly to participating states and subdivisions must be used for abatement of the opioid epidemic, with the overwhelming bulk of the proceeds restricted to funding future abatement efforts by state and local governments.
In addition to providing billions of dollars for abatement, the settlements also impose changes in the way the settling Defendants conduct their business. For example:
• Teva and Allergan have agreed to strict limitations on their marketing, promotion, sale, and distribution of opioids, including a ban on: (1) promotion and lobbying; (2) rewarding or disciplining employees bas ed on volume of opioid sales; and (3) funding or grants to third parties; and
• Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens are required to implement changes in how they handle opioids, including requirements addressing their compliance structures, pharmacist judgment, dive rsion prevention, suspicious order monitoring, and reporting on red -flag processes, as well as blocked and potentially problematic prescribers.
As with the 2021 National Settlements, states and local governments that want to participate in the 2022 National Settlements now have the opportunity to “opt in.” This is not an ordinary “class action” in which a party is subject to settlement unless it affirmatively opts out. Instead a local government entity must opt in and affirmatively approve the settlement , which requires the local government to release any claim against the settling opioid distributors and manufacturers.
ANALYSIS:
The funds will be available for a broad range of approved abatement uses designed to (1) address the misuse and abuse of opioid products, (2) treat or mitigate opioid use or related disorders, or (3) mitigate other alleged effects of, including on those injured as a result of, the opioid epidemic. The list of pre-approved uses includes a wide range of intervention, treatment, education, and recovery services. A complete list of eligible uses is included as Attachment A. If the City opts in to the settlement it can elect to: (1) receive settlement funds through direct payment and use the funds for approved abatement or remediation uses; (2) authorize transfer of the funds, and the burden to spend them appropriately and account for them, to Monterey County (“County”); or (3) contract with the County for use of the funds. If the City elects to receive the funds directly, the City will have annual reporting obligations on the use of these funds. The City opted to receive direct payments for the 2021 National Settlements and will do the same for the 2022 Settlements. This Resolution approves participation in the settlement and appoints the City Manager as the City’s authorized representative to execute all necessary documents, following review and approval by the City Attorney, to receive or make other allocation of the funds as allowed in accordance with the settlement agreement and allowed uses.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Preliminary estimates indicate that the City could receive more than $ 150,000 over a 1 5-year period, with a large portion of the funds payable during the initial seven years. The disbursement schedule is not yet available. If the City elects to receive funds directly , the City will incur staff time to fulfill its annual reporting obligations to demonstrate the proper use of the funds for approved opioid abatement activities. The extent of these reporting obligations is unknown but is not expected to be unduly burdensome.
2 Public safety staff are working with finance staff to utilize these funds in conformance with the list of uses as shown in ATTACHMENT A.
CONCLUSION:
This request is submitted for City Council consideration and adoption of a resolution approving participation in the 2022 Nationwide Opioid Settlement Litigation with Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens and Walmart; and appointing the City Manager as the City’s authorized representative to take all reasonable and necessary actions to implement the agreements.

WHEREAS, if the City of Marina elects to participate in the settlements, the City is expected to receive monetary payments over a 15-year period to fund opioid abatement costs, as defined; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that receiving the settlement funds is critical to the City’s ongoing efforts to provide and maintain intervention, treatment, education, and recovery services necessary to effectively combat the epidemic.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MARINA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Participation in the Settlement.

All rent increases shall also be subject to City approval to confirm compliance with this Agreement, which approval shall be deemed given if not denied within thirty (30) days after the City has received written request for approval.

5 each Tenant with at least sixty (60) days written notice of any increase in Rent applicable to such Tenant.
Section 2.3 Increased Income of Tenants.
(a) Increase of Household Income Below Limit for 50% AMI Household. If, upon recertification of the income of a Tenant of an Affordable Unit, the Owner determines that the income of the Tenant has increased to above the qualifying limit for such household’s unit (i.e. a 30% AMI Household's income increases but is below a 50% AMI Household income) but below the qualifying limit of a 50% AMI Household, the Tenant may continue to occupy the Affordable Unit and the Tenant's Rent will remain at the applicable rent level set for Tenant's Affordable Unit and the Owner shall rent the next available Unit to a household that is either a 30% AMI Household or 50% AMI Household as necessary to maintain the appropriate number of units in each income category as required pursuant to Section 2.1 above. (b) Non-Qualifying Household. If, upon recertification of the income of a Tenant of an Affordable Unit, the Owner determines that the Tenant has an Adjusted Income exceeding the maximum qualifying income for a 50% AMI Household but the Tenant's income does not exceed 140% of the maximum qualifying income for a 50% AMI Household, such Tenant shall be permitted to continue occupying the Unit, the Tenant's Rent shall not be increased and the Owner shall rent the next available Unit to a 30% AMI Household or a 50% AMI Household as applicable, at a Rent not exceeding the maximum Rent specified in Section
2.2 or if the Owner has other Units occupied by 30% AMI Households or 50% AMI Households with rents at the allowable Rents in accordance with Section 2.2, the Owner may designate one of those Units as a 30% AMI Unit or 50% AMI Unit pursuant to this Agreement to ensure that the appropriate number of units in each income category as required pursuant to Section 2.1 above is maintained.
(c) Termination of Occupancy. Upon termination of occupancy of an Affordable Unit by a Tenant, such Affordable Unit shall be deemed to be continuously occupied by a household of the same income level as the income level of the vacating Tenant, until such Affordable Unit is reoccupied, at which time the income character of the Affordable Unit shall be redetermined. In any event, Owner shall maintain the occupancy requirements set forth in section 2.1 above.
Section 2.4 Income and Rent Calculations. In the event that TCAC no longer publishes the income and rent information that this Agreement contemplates that TCAC will publish, the City will provide the Owner with other income and rent determinations which are reasonably similar with respect to methods of calculations to those previously published by TCAC.
Section 2.5 Tenant Selection. Owner shall comply with the City's BMR Program Administrative Policies and Procedures as they currently exist or as they may be updated from time to time in the selection of Tenants, including complying with any preferences in such Guidelines, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable TCAC rules and regulations.

EXHIBIT A
8 661\06\3490107.3

Owner shall otherwise comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws concerning discrimination in housing.
ARTICLE 3
INCOME CERTIFICATION AND REPORTING
Section 3.1 Income Certification. The Owner will obtain, complete and maintain on file, immediately prior to initial occupancy and annually thereafter, income certifications from each Tenant renting any of the Affordable Units, provided, however, to the extent allowed by TCAC, subsequent income certifications may be tenant certified. The Owner shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income provided by an applicant or occupying household in an income certification is accurate by taking two or more of the following steps as a part of the verification process: (a) obtain a pay stub for the most recent pay period; (b) obtain an income tax return for the most recent tax year; (c) conduct a credit agency or similar search; (d) obtain an income verification form from the applicant's current employer; (e) obtain an income verification form from the Social Security Administration and/or the California Department of Social Services if the applicant receives assistance from either of such agencies; or (f) if the applicant is unemployed and has no such tax return, obtain another form of independent verification. Copies of Tenant income certifications shall be available to the City upon request.
Section 3.2 Annual Report to City. The Owner shall submit to the City (a) not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of each calendar year, or such other date as may be requested by the City, a statistical report, including income and rent data for all Affordable Units, setting forth the information called for therein, and (b) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written request, any other information or completed forms requested by the City in order to comply with reporting requirements of Health and Safety Code Section 33418.

Section 3.4 Records.

All Tenant lists, applications and waiting lists relating to the Development shall at all times be kept separate and identifiable from any other business of the Owner and shall be maintained as required by the City, in a reasonable condition for proper audit and subject to examination during business hours by representatives of the City. The Owner shall retain copies of all materials obtained or produced with respect to occupancy of the Units for a period of at least five (5) years.
Section 3.5 Expenses. Owner shall annually pay to City City's monitoring and enforcement fees for the Affordable Units in accordance with City's Master Fee Schedule. The
EXHIBIT A
9 661\06\3490107.3
7 monitoring or enforcement fee shall be either City's actual expenses incurred for monitoring or enforcing the terms of this Agreement, including staff time and third party costs or the amount set forth in the Master Fee Schedule, as determined by City.
Section 3.6 On-site Inspection. The City shall have the right to perform an on-site inspection of the Development at least one (1) time per year. The Owner agrees to cooperate in such inspection. If City desires to inspect the interior of the residential units, City shall give Owner sufficient written notice to allow Owner to give seventy-two (72) hours notice to residents.

Section 4.2 Taxes and Assessments. Owner shall pay all real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and all franchise, income, employment, old age benefit, withholding, sales, and other taxes assessed against it, or payable by it, at such times and in such manner as to prevent any penalty from accruing, or any lien or charge from attaching to the Property; provided, however, that Owner shall have the right to contest in good faith, any such taxes, assessments, or charges. In the event Owner exercises its right to contest any tax, assessment, or charge against it, Owner, on final determination of the proceeding or contest, shall immediately pay or discharge any decision or judgment rendered against it, together with all costs, charges and interest.
ARTICLE 5
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE
Section 5.1 Management Responsibilities. The Owner is responsible for all management functions with respect to the Development, including without limitation the selection of tenants, certification and recertification of household size and income, evictions, collection of rents and deposits, maintenance, landscaping, routine and extraordinary repairs, replacement of capital items, and security. The City shall have no responsibility over management of the Development. The Owner shall ensure that the Development complies with the City of Marina's BMR Housing Program Administrative Policies and Procedures as it currently exists and as it may be amended from time to time. The Owner shall retain a professional property management company approved by the City in its reasonable discretion to perform its management duties hereunder. A resident manager shall also be required at all times.
The City hereby approves _____________________ as the Management Agent (as defined in Section 5.2).
Section 5.2 Management Agent; Periodic Reports. The Development shall at all times be managed by an experienced management agent reasonably acceptable to the City, with demonstrated ability to operate residential facilities like the Development in a manner that will provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing (as approved, the "Management Agent"). The Owner
EXHIBIT A
10 661\06\3490107.3
8 shall submit for the City's approval the identity of any proposed Management Agent. The Owner shall also submit such additional information about the background, experience and financial condition of any proposed Management Agent as is reasonably necessary for the City to determine whether the proposed Management Agent meets the standard for a qualified Management Agent set forth above. If the proposed Management Agent meets the standard for a qualified Management Agent set forth above, the City shall approve the proposed Management Agent by notifying the Owner in writing. Unless the proposed Management Agent is disapproved by the City within thirty (30) days, which disapproval shall state with reasonable specificity the basis for disapproval, it shall be deemed approved.
Section 5.3 Performance Review. The City reserves the right to conduct an annual (or more frequently, if deemed reasonably necessary by the City) review of the management practices and financial status of the Development. The purpose of each periodic review will be to enable the City to determine if the Development is being operated and managed in accordance with the requirements and standards of this Agreement. The Owner shall cooperate with the City in such reviews.
Section 5.4 Replacement of Management Agent. If, as a result of a periodic review, the City determines in its reasonable judgment that the Development is not being operated and managed in accordance with any of the material requirements and standards of this Agreement, the City shall deliver notice to Owner of its intention to cause replacement of the Management Agent, including the detailed reasons therefor (a "Management Default Notice"). If the issues set forth in the Management Default Notice are not cured within sixty (60) days of delivery of the Management Default Notice, or if such default cannot be cured within sixty (60) days, if the cure is not commenced within sixty (60) days and diligently prosecuted thereafter, City staff and the Owner shall meet in good faith to consider methods for improving the financial and operating status of the Development, including, without limitation, replacement of the Management Agent.
If, after such meeting, City staff recommends in writing the replacement of the Management Agent, Owner shall, subject to the rights of any Development Lender, promptly dismiss the then Management Agent, and shall appoint as the Management Agent a person or entity meeting the standards for a Management Agent set forth in Section 5.2 above and approved by the City pursuant to Section 5.2 above.
Any contract for the operation or management of the Development entered into by Owner shall provide that the contract can be terminated as set forth above. Failure to remove the Management Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall constitute default under this Agreement, and the City may enforce this provision through legal proceedings as specified in Section 6.6.
Section 5.5 Approval of Management Policies. The Owner shall submit its written management policies with respect to the Development to the City for its review, and shall amend such policies in any way necessary to ensure that such policies comply with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 5.6 Property Maintenance. The Owner agrees, for the entire Term of this Agreement, to maintain all interior and exterior improvements, including landscaping, on the Property in good condition and repair (and, as to landscaping, in a healthy condition) and in
EXHIBIT A
11 661\06\3490107.3
9 accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, orders and regulations of all federal, state, county, municipal, and other governmental agencies and bodies having or claiming jurisdiction and all their respective departments, bureaus, and officials, and in accordance with the following maintenance conditions:
The City places prime importance on quality maintenance to ensure that all affordable housing projects within the City are not allowed to deteriorate due to below-average maintenance. Normal wear and tear of the Development will be acceptable to the City assuming the Owner agrees to provide all necessary improvements to assure the Development is maintained in good condition. The Owner shall make all repairs and replacements necessary to keep the improvements in good condition and repair.
In the event that the Owner breaches any of the covenants contained in this section and such default continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice from the City with respect to graffiti, debris, waste material, and general maintenance or thirty (30) days after written notice from the City with respect to landscaping and building improvements, then the City, in addition to whatever other remedy it may have at law or in equity, shall have the right to enter upon the Property and perform or cause to be performed all such acts and work necessary to cure the default. Pursuant to such right of entry, the City shall be permitted (but is not required) to enter upon the Property and perform all acts and work necessary to protect, maintain, and preserve the improvements and landscaped areas on the Property. Owner shall promptly pay to the City, upon demand, any costs incurred by the City in connection with work of protection, maintenance, and preservation undertaken by the City pursuant to this section, and the City may attach a lien on the Property, or to assess the Property, in the amount of such expenditures if Owner does not promptly reimburse the City upon demand.
ARTICLE 6
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 6.1 Lease Provisions. The Owner shall use a form of Tenant lease approved by the City. The form of Tenant lease shall also comply with all requirements of this Agreement, and shall, among other matters, to the extent permitted by the Ground Lease, Development Lenders and applicable laws:
(a) provide for termination of the lease and consent by the Tenant to immediate eviction for failure: (1) to provide any information required under this Agreement or reasonably requested by the Owner to establish or recertify the Tenant's qualification, or the qualification of the Tenant's household, for occupancy in the Development in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement, or (2) to qualify as a 30% AMI Household or 50% AMI Household, as the case may be, as a result of any material misrepresentation made by such Tenant with respect to the income computation or certification; and (b) be for an initial term of not less than one (1) year. After the initial year of tenancy, the lease may be month to month by mutual agreement of the Owner and the Tenant; however the Rent may not be raised more often than once every twelve (12) months after such initial year. The Owner shall provide each Tenant with at least sixty (60) days' written notice of

Subject: Scope of Work and Cost Estimate for Pre- and Post-Construction Compliance Imjin Parkway Improvements Project
_______________________________________________________________________________
Denise Duffy & Associates (DD&A) is currently under contract with Harris and Associates, Inc. (Harris) to provide environmental compliance services support for the construction phase of the City of Marina’s Imjin Parkway Improvement Project (project). Harris and DD&A conducted a review of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)for the project to determine the responsible party for each of the Mitigation Measures. As a result of this analysis, it was determined that DD&A would prepare a Scope of Work (SOW) and Cost Estimate for all Mitigation Measures associated with the pre-construction phases of the project that were outside of DD&A’s existing Scope of Work. This Scope of Work would be the responsibility of a contracted biologist and/or restoration contractor. This document provides the SOW and Cost Estimate for environmental compliance and mitigation monitoring services for the project. Where appropriate, this SOW identifies the various project deliverables that will be completed for clarification purposes. This SOW includes compliance with the Final Initial Study Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and the MMRP for the project approved by the City of Marina (City).
Task 1 Pre-Construction
Task 1.1 Pre-Construction Biological Surveys
Pre-construction clearance surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist for component -specific species and habitats as directed by the MMRP. Survey methodology will be consistent with the requirements of the environmental documentation. Pre-construction survey reports describing the results of the surveys will be provided to the project proponents prior to any ground disturbing activities. The report will include but will not be limited to:
1) a description of the species observed, if any;
2) map of the location, if observed; and
3) recommended avoidance and minimization measures, if applicable.
This task will involve periodic coordination and strategy calls with City and project partners to coordinate information exchange, discuss/refine project submittal information, and work with the internal team to address project needs.
▪ 1.1.1 Pre-Construction Surveys for Smith’s Blue Butterfly (Mitigation Measure BIO-6). ▪ 1.1.2 Pre-Construction Surveys for Nesting Birds (Mitigation Measure BIO-6). 11 City of Marina Imjin Parkway Improvements 2 Contractor-Supplied Construction Compliance
▪ 1.3.3 Pre-Construction Surveys for Roosting Bats (Mitigation Measure BIO-6).
Deliverables: Pre-construction survey reports (one draft and one final).
Task 1.2 Pre-Construction Monterey Spineflower Seed/Seedbank Collection, Preservation and Restoration
Prior to disturbance, Monterey spineflower seed/seedbank (through soil salvage) will be collected from plants in temporary impact areas. After construction is complete and no further impacts are anticipated, the contracted biologist will direct the broadcast and raking into the topsoil in the areas from which seed/seedbank was collected. The contracted biologist will direct this process, including identifying areas for seed/seedbank collection, identifying areas for seed/seedbank storage, and documentation of restoration of seed/seedbank. The contracted biologist will prepare a report docu menting the entire process of seed/seedbank collection, preservation, and restoration.
Deliverables: Monterey Spineflower Temporary Impact Seed Collection and Restoration Report (one draft and one final).
Task 1.3 Tree and Vegetation Replacement Plan (TVRP)
Prior to the issuance of Notice to Proceed a contractor-supplied biologist/arborist/botanist will develop the Tree and Vegetation Replacement Plan ( TVRP). The TVRP will include a locally native plant palette selected to blend with the existing native habitat types extant within the project corridor, to retain a visually unified corridor appearance, consistent with the Imjin Parkway Improvement Project Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP). The TVRP will implement required minimization planting per Chapter 29 (Highway Planting) of the Caltrans Project Development Procedures Manual and Chapter 900 (Landscape Architecture) of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. The TVRP will be consistent with Mitigation Measure AES-4, AES-5, AES-8, AES-9, and EAS-11
Deliverables: TVRP (one draft and one final).

PALEONTOLOGICAL MONITORING TASK BREAKDOWN:
City of Marina Imjin Parkway MMRP MM CUL-1c
Task Area 1a: Site Monitoring
Our proposal estimate here is based on 2X mobilizations per week and 6 small fossils found, extracted, prepared, identified, accessioned and cataloged for donation to an appropriate museum, university, or k-12 school for each 30-days of work, mobilizations being dependent upon where digging starts, the pace of excavation progress, the number of active excavation sites, and grading schedule components relative to critical deep digging points. For example, monitoring may be more concentrated than 2-3 days per week at the three large retaining wall footings (specifically footing numbers 1, 3, & 5) or if there are multiple active grading and trenching sites planned synchronously. It may also be less concentrated, dependant upon what stratigraphy is found sub-grade.
Due to the high paleontological significance of a nearby mammalian megafauna fossil site in Castroville, and because there is a high probability that the same group of strata as that discovery may occur at the Imjin Project Site, the paleontological sensitivity ranking for this project is high, as noted in the prior Windshield Survey of Allen, 2017, and in the Paleontological Monitoring Plan of Thompson, 2023. That site includes mammoths, mastodons, camels, and giant ground sloths in addition to fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, mollusks, microvertebrates, and other preserved creatures.
The paleontological sensitivity of the project area increases with depth below the surface as well, and borehole data down to 40.5-feet confirms this. Superficial sensitivity down to 5’ is low in some areas, while in others the potential is higher. While revealing potential fossil-bearing silt layers of high paleontological significance in the boreholes, the original geotech study did not conclusively identify the known specific dark brown silty-clay strata that the mammalian megafauna fossils were discovered to be preserved in. Our expectation for the Imjin Project, then, is that there is a small chance for these older fossil-bearing layers to be uncovered, and because of this there is the potential for a significant discovery and thus paleontological sensitivity is high.
Our proposal here is thus initially in a “no-discovery condition”, lacking the needed additional stratigraphic information that is required to make a more precise assessment. This assessment will only be revealed through monitoring during grading and trenching. This Monitoring Proposal, nonetheless, includes the embedded cost for potentially recovering up to 6 small (6” X 6” X 6”) fossils discovered per 30-day cycle.
On larger projects like this, with a probability of limited fossils found, yet high paleontological sensitivity, we prefer to spread our monitoring out over longer periods of time, with more frequent, but shorter, daily spot checks initially until cessation of monitoring or discovery, limiting monitoring to less than half days; a few hours at a time. We do not at this time, with all the evidence and our background experience in the region, recommend full-day repeated monitoring without data-driven evidence to prove otherwise (found fossils/revealed dark clay-silt strata). If fossils/strata are found, monitoring will increase beyond 2X/week, and a cost adjustment proposal will be submitted. The likelihood of this is low, and as work progresses, we may enter upon cessation of monitoring through lack of evidence. Cessation of monitoring will also enter once all deeper grading is completed.
During these shorter visits to spot-check progress, we are maximizing our environmental monitoring efficiency by searching for excavated exposures of the potential fossil-bearing darker silt-clay strata, monitoring current deeper grading work, checking spoil piles, etc. These best management practices on the project site ensure that we can balance project needs with our high environmental protection standards. Additionally, with the deployment of our Employee Paleontological Awareness Program (EPAP), we can monitor much more effectively at these higher levels of efficiency knowing that protected resources can be conserved through recognition training for the on-site team at-large. If some of these exceptionally large fossilized creatures are discovered on site our strategy changes to build in more on-site time, related paleontological excavation equipment, and staff that go along with large fossil extractions and regular price point revision through addenda. 3 17
After completion of all the deeper excavation components of the project, such as retaining wall footings, deeper swales (2’ and below) or other planned structures, the paleontological monitoring will enter cessation.
The monitoring time may occasionally go up or down from projected in a 30-day cycle, for instance if the fossil-bearing strata is discovered but lacks fossils or if no fossil-bearing strata are exposed, respectively. A scenario in which the cost base would change up is if a single large or multiple small preserved fossils (over 6) were uncovered. In the event that there is no deep (2’ or below) digging planned for a 30-day cycle, but will start again later, and thus no monitoring required, then there will be no charge for that cycle.
Task Area 1b: Site Monitoring, Supplies and Incidentals Includes 6 small (6” X 6” X 6”) fossils found, excavated, prepared, identified, accessioned and cataloged per 30-day cycle, and includes necessary supplies required by Professional Paleontologist in the performance of their duties; small hand tools (shovels, trowels, picks, hammers, chisels, dental picks, etc.), hand lenses, preservatives of various types, glues, whisk brooms, buckets, plaster-of-Paris, burlap, 2 X 4’s, collecting bags, storage boxes, microfossil sampling equipment, preparation consolidants and adhesives, curation tools, field notebooks, data logs, and etc. If 6 small fossils are discovered, the proposal covers costs associated with all later lab fossil preparation and storage costs, space for the specimens, and supplies to prepare the fossils at Pacific Paleontology Labs in Monterey and/or Santa Cruz. A well-defined Cooperation and Assistance Contract, CAC, is recommended for this particular project and has previously been provided.
Task Area 1c: Site Monitoring, Management
Monitoring Management includes time for preparation of invoices, cost tracking, on-site record keeping, pre-construction meetings with contract engineers and other principals, billing and invoicing, preparation of written progress reports, stratigraphic mapping records, and other administrative responsibilities as required.
Task Area 2: Implementing the Employee Paleontological Awareness Program, EPAP In-person on-site pre-construction training time with actual fossil mammoth/mastodon specimens is included and provided within this cost proposal. This is an important component. Personnel who have been visually entrained for specimen recognition are known to be far more effective at recognition of CEQA-protected local fossil color, texture, and shape properties, thus maximizing the chance of spotting critical resources. Proposal cost also assumes that the EPAP will also occur pre-grading using our remote access closed captioned environmental awareness video produced as a component of the Paleontological Mitigation Plan (PMP) that we are working on now. The environmental awareness training program is mandatory and attendance monitored.
This cost line has been built in previously to the PMP and so is not part of this proposal. This proposal also does not include the Principal Paleontologist Scoping site visit component, which will occur over several days pre-grading, to surface search for fossils and identify any “hot spot” areas that may require greater attention during monitoring, and identifying any potential unrecognized surficial discoveries; this was already built into and included in our prior PMP contract proposal under which we are working now.
Task Area 3: Lab Work
Our on-site monitoring proposal also includes all fossil specimen preparation and lab analysis of up to 6 small (6” X 6” X 6”) fossils collected during each 30-day cycle, including any potential consolidation for long-term museum storage, accessioning and cataloging, photography, professional identification to the lowest taxonomic level, storage, transport, and donation. This may include performing microvertebrate and other alluvial faunal and floral analyses from ancient lacustrine, fluvial, and potentially marine environments preserved in the area.
Standard microscopy techniques will be employed using a #100 (149 μ m ) and a #230 (63 μ m ) and other regulated brass sieves as well as larger wood-framed sifting screens for larger microfossil material. Any microvertebrate fossil analysis that is needed will be carried out using a trinocular Motic SMZ-168 dissecting microscope equipped with a light ring and digital camera for specimen photography. A standard metal picking 4 18
tray with a 000 brush will be employed for any smaller material, however there is a low probability for this, and so cm-grid rubber picking mats will also be employed for any potential larger microvertebrates. Museum donation of discovered fossils is standard practice in most excavations + (See Pg. 5 below).
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me so that we can accommodate.
With kind regards, Wayne Thompson

+ Important notice :
In the event that the museum accepting any found fossils has charges on their end for accepting and curating donations (they typically do) those charges are not included here in this proposal. Be aware, if those fossils are of large mammals, such as Mammoths, Mastodons, and Giant Ground Sloths that have been found nearby, or a large number of smaller fossils, these charges may be quite significant. If fossils are discovered in the Project Area, we can provide a cost estimate from the museum at that time. We have close professional working relationships with all the major California paleontological museums developed over many decades of paleontological work in field, lab, and research and will choose the appropriate repository for any potential fossils recovered on a case-by-case basis:
1. The University of California Berkeley Museum of Paleontology, current Research Associate position.
2. The California Academy of Sciences, Department of Geology, current Research Associate position.
3. The Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, current Paleontological Collections Advisor Position.
4. The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History.
5. The L.A. County Museum of Natural History, Divisions of Vertebrate and Invertebrate Paleontology.
At the same time, however, fossil donation depends on the paleontological significance of the discovery, and since Pacific Paleontology works closely with the Monterey/Santa Cruz k-16 educational community through its non-profit arm, these fees can potentially be mitigated for non-significant fossils through our educational outreach program with fossils for local school and student projects whenever possible. 715 Lily St., Monterey, CA, 831-535-8545, [email protected] 5 19

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 17, ARTICLE 4, SECTION 17.46 OF THE MARINA MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO SIGNS.
-oOo-
1. The Community Development Department (CDD) for the City of Marina (City) , through its regular use and imple mentation of the Marina Municipal Code (MMC), has discovered several sections that are unclear and may be in violation of federal law.
2. Through this amendment, staff seeks to streamline sections to add clarity to both the public and staff in the implementa tion of this section, change the review authority for complying signs from a public hearing to an administrative review process, and to comply with the Religious Land Use and Insti tutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA ), 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000cc, et seq., which protects individuals, houses of worship, and other religious institutions from discrimination in zoning and landmarking laws.
3. Furthermore, the City seeks to allow an administrative process for Signs that comply with the code reserving the Planning Comm ission for the review of Signs that request exceptions or alternative designs that do not comply with the standards. This will benefit the business community and allo w the Planning Commission to focus on larger projects and important policy questions.
4. The City’s a dopted fee schedule already includes fees for the administrative review of signs with and without an approved Sign Program as well as for the Signs that requi re a public hearing. No change to the adopted fee schedule is required at this time.
5. An am endment to the City’s Municipal Code is needed to provide clarity and transparency in this Section. The proposed ordinance amendment is referenced herein as Exhibit A and is provided in a strike-though and underline format. Findings for the proposed amendments are included herein as Exhibit B
6. The City Council of the City of Marina reviewed the proposed amendments and considered the recommendations of the Planning Commission and held a duly noticed public hearing on February 7, 2023.
7. The City of Marina Planning Com mission, at a duly noticed public hearing on January 12, 2023 , adopted R esolution 202 3-01 recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed amendment.

2 EXHIBIT A
17.46.010 Purpose and intent.
A. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to provide the city with a viable and practical set of sign regulations that will promote the orderly growth of the community; facilitate the continual upgrading of the community; and preserve the natural beauty of Marina while simultaneously protecting the rights of property and business owners to display signs and the right of individuals to live in, work in, and visit a city that is free from the visual blight that would result from under- or non-regulation of signs.
B.

This section establishes standards for the location and construction of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units (jointly referred to as “accessory units” in this section) in conformance with California Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22. These standards are intended to allow for accessory units as an important form of affordable housing and to comply with state law.
A. Permits Required.
1. Accessory units consistent with the requirements of this section are allowed by right with the issuance of a building permit.
2. Time Limit to Act. The city shall complete its review of an accessory unit application and approve or deny the application within sixty days of receipt of the application if there is an existing single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot. If the permit application to create an accessory unit is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family dwelling on the lot, the city shall delay acting on the permit application for the accessory unit until the city acts on the permit application to create the new single-family dwelling. If the applicant requests a delay, the sixty-day time limit shall be extended for the period of the requested delay. In either case the application to create the accessory unit shall be considered without discretionary review or hearing.
B. Permitted Zoning Districts.
1. Accessory dwelling units are permitted in any zoning district where single-family or multifamily dwellings are a permitted or conditionally permitted land use as identified in this title. Junior accessory dwelling units are permitted in any zoning district where single-family dwellings are a permitted or conditionally permitted land use as identified in this title.
C. Site and Design Standards.

Fractions of units of one-half and above shall be rounded up. Accessory dwelling units may include portions of dwelling structures that are not used as livable space, including, but not limited to, storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages; provided, that each unit complies with state building standards for dwellings. At least one accessory dwelling unit shall be permitted per lot within existing multifamily dwellings. Not more than two detached accessory dwelling units shall be permitted on lots with existing multifamily dwellings.
3. Relationship to Primary Dwelling.
a. An accessory dwelling unit may be within, attached to, or detached from the primary dwelling. Attachment to the primary dwelling shall be by sharing a common interior wall or 3 common roof.

c. Attached and Detached Accessory Dwelling Units. Consistent with California Government Code Section 66013, a utility connection may be subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that shall be proportionate to the burden of the proposed accessory dwelling unit, based upon either its size or the number of its plumbing fixtures, upon the water or sewer system. This fee or 5 charge shall not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service. d. Fire Sprinklers. The installation of fire sprinklers shall not be required in an accessory unit if sprinklers are not required for the primary residence Accessory units shall not be required to provide fire sprinklers if they are not required for the primary residence. The construction of a dwelling unit shall not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling.

6 FINDINGS
Staff finds that this project:
General Plan Compliance
1) General Plan Policy 2.31
“It is the City of Marina’s intent to promote construction of new housing that is environmentally and socially responsible.”
a. General Plan Policy 2.31.1
“In order to promote the social and fiscal well -being of the community, new housing shall be phased and shall provide for the needs of all economic groups.”
b. General Plan Policy 2.31.4
“New housing shall accommodate a broad range of lifestyles.”
c. General Plan Policy 2.31.6
“New housing shall be constructed at densities and in patterns which conserve land, reduce reliance on the private automobile, and result in walkable, attractive neighborhoods.”
Evidence: The development of ADUs and JADUs is consistent with General Plan Policy
2.31 in that accessory units are more environmentally sustainable and more accessible to a broad range of income groups than a traditional single -family house.
Zoning Compliance
2) Lateral consistency with Title 17, Section 17.42.040
Evidence: The amended ordinance is consistent with the state law and the City’s adopted standards for accessory units.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15303(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Staff has determined that the exemption applies in this case because this Section exempts up to three single-family residences in urbanized areas.

Introduction
This engagement plan is an internal document that tracks all outreach activities in accordance with all phases laid out in the scope of work of the Marina General Plan Update. The purpose of this engagement plan is to identify opportunities for conducting outreach to Marina’s diverse communities and key stakeholders, analyze existing demographics, and describe the tools for how the project team will interact and communicate with Marina residents about the General Plan Update. The engagement plan will be updated by the Engagement Specialist with new actions and details identified over the course of the project.
This document begins by outlining the project team’s collective goals for community engagement. It then analyzes the demographic landscape of the city, documents the tools available to the team to execute communication with residents, and then lists ideas for engagement activities (in-person and virtual). Based on research and guidance from the Marina city staff, stakeholder groups are listed for partnerships.
Engagement Goals + Objectives
The following section identifies the goals and objectives of engagement for the City of Marina General Plan Update process:
1. Create an open and transparent engagement process that builds trust between the city, residents, businesses owners, and other stakeholders. This will occur by regularly updating the community about the project’s direction, creating opportunities for substantive input into the process, developing culturally appropriate engagement materials, and “meeting residents where they are at” by engaging them directly in their neighborhoods.
2. Engage a wide diversity of residents, with a focus on those who typically do not participate in civic projects and government meetings. Focused engagement will occur with key groups including Hispanic, Asian (Korean, Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese), veterans, seniors, and youth populations in Marina.
3. Create accessible informational materials (postcards, flyers, presentations, etc.), that are language and culturally appropriate and disseminate these materials at City Council meetings, public events, workshops, and places in the community with high foot traffic throughout the two years of the project.
4. Develop the next generation of community leaders bringing new residents into the process and allowing all residents to help set the overall direction of the General Plan.
EXHIBIT A
4 City of Marina GPU | Engagement Workplan |3
5. Conduct engagement focused on residents living identified Disadvantaged Communities, as defined by Senate Bill 1000. These are communities that are low income and have disproportionate environmental health and pollution impacts.
6. Allow the community to provide substantive input on key components of the General Plan including the vision and guiding principles, the pattern and intensity of allowed land uses, and issues relevant to the City such as transportation, economic development, open space, arts and culture, health, and other policy issues.

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE-RELATED DATA
Senate Bill 1000 requires that local governments to identify environmental justice communities (called “disadvantaged communities” or DACs) in their jurisdictions, address environmental justice in their general plans, and conduct focused engagement efforts on topics related to environmental justice. As part of the SB 1000 process, R+A will work with the City to identify DACs and then develop targeted outreach activities to reach residents in these communities to discuss environmental justice issues. A preliminary assessment of DAC found that the following census tracts are likely DACs:

Outreach + Communication Tools
The following tools will be used to communicate with the public at key intervals during the project.
The type of communication is generally divided into two categories: 1) updates on the project; and 2) invitations to specific events or activities.
• Stakeholder Introduction Calls. R+A staff will call all the stakeholders identified in the stakeholder list to provide an introduction to the project and discuss how to reach out to the stakeholder’s constituents through their networks.
• Email database. R+A will create a “Mail Chimp” database for the project. This will be populated from existing city email databases and updated through the project. The email database will be the primary communication tool and will be used to inform the community about events and project initiatives. The following steps will be followed to develop and implement this communication tool.
o Collect email databases from the City. The city will provide these to R+A in an excel format.
o Prepare MailChimp Database and populate with City email lists. o Send introductory email to database asking residents to “opt out” if they don’t want to receive General Plan-related emails.
o Create a “sign up” widget for the project website that links to the MailChimp database. This will allow individuals to sign up for updates. o Send regular updates to the database throughout the project, including before every event.
• Email List for Local Groups and Organizations. Through the stakeholder identification and interview process, R+A will identify local groups and organizations with ties to the community. We will identify key contacts and ask these individuals to forward project-related announcements to their constituents. This will occur before each major community event. • Social media. R+A will work with City staff to develop and manage social media accounts for Facebook, Instagram and NextDoor. R+A will be responsible for developing the content and city staff will post to social media. Postings will generally occur 2 weeks and a few days before each event. As needed, R+A can create Facebook and Instagram ads to announce public meetings. This cost will be from the project contingency budget.
EXHIBIT A
7 City of Marina GPU | Engagement Workplan |6
• Project website. R+A will create a basic project website that contains project information, including background information, meeting notices and meeting summaries. R+A recommends that the web address for the website be either www.marina2045.com or www.marinagp2045.com R+A staff will develop the website and provide the city with access so that but R+A and city staff every can provide regular updates. • General Plan Initiation Postcard. To announce the initiation of the Marina GPU process, the project team will develop a project postcard with information about the General Plan and announcing the preliminary engagement activities. R+A will use a mailing service to send the flyer to all addresses within the City of Marina. This will be billed to the on-call engagement task as it is not part of the core engagement activities. (Note that our current proposal is to send a postcard out at the beginning of the project only - as the on-call engagement or contingency task allows, R+A can create and send additional citywide mailers.) The engagement activities that will be announced in this postcard will be:
o Project website
o “General Plan 101” Kick-Off Educational Forum
o Issues/Opportunities workshop
o Issues/Opportunities survey
• Project Information Factsheet. At the beginning of the project, R+A will develop a brief factsheet with information about what a General Plan is, who is impacted, why it matters and how to get involved. R+A will rely on the City and community groups to distributed this to the public at pop-up workshops and other locations. City staff will be responsible for identifying and distributing the Factsheet. R+A can be responsible for printing the factsheet within the core budget or the on-call task.
• Flyers. R+A will develop a flyer for each round of engagement activities (ie, visioning, alternatives, etc.) and can print copies of flyers within the core budget or the on-call task.
Paper flyers and posters will be distributed and posted prior to major engagement activities.
Possible locations are identified in Section 7.
• Press releases. Media releases will be used to inform the media about key General Plan activities such as workshops or the release of major documents. This task can either be handed by city staff or R+A using the on-call budget.
• Ads in newspapers. The primary activity for advertising in local newspapers will be the free announcement section in the Monterey County Weekly and any other papers that include announcements about local meetings. At minimum, we recommend including ads before each workshop. This task will be completed by City staff. • Announcements at City Council and Planning Commission meetings. City staff should provide monthly updates and announcements will be provided to elected and appointed officials and broadcast to the community at large. The purpose will be to keep these bodies
EXHIBIT A
8 City of Marina GPU | Engagement Workplan |7
updated and engaged in the process and to reach residents and other stakeholder in attendance.
• Translation and interpretation. The project team acknowledges that the City of Marina is a diverse and multi-cultural city. In accordance with the goal of conducting an inclusive engagement process, the project team will translate engagement materials and surveys to Spanish.
• Branded materials (bags, pens, coasters, etc.). OPTIONAL: These can be produced by the team during the initial outreach phase.
Engagement Activities
The section below outlines the engagement activities agreed upon within the Project Scope of Work. • General Plan Advisory Committee. City staff and R+A will form and convene an approximately 11-member GPAC to serve as a sounding board for engagement and content.
Half of the meetings will be in person and half will be virtual (for the consultants). R+A will be responsible for developing the content for each meeting, including presentations and materials. City staff will be responsible for all logistics and communication with the GPAC.
The following is the general flow of the meetings. Additional meetings can be added as part of the on-call engagement task or the contingency budget. o Introduction, engagement plan, startup tasks (1 meeting) o Issues and opportunities (1 meeting)
o Existing conditions (1 meeting) covering subjects such as land use/Specific Plans/zoning; climate/sustainability/SLR; health and Environmental Justice o Vision and guiding principles (2 meetings)
o Alternatives development and selection (2 meetings)
o Policy development on key topics (1 meeting)
o GP and EIR review (1 meeting)
• Stakeholder interviews. The R+A Team (including KHA, Rincon and EPS) will conduct 10+ stakeholder interviews at the beginning of the project. The list of stakeholders is in a separate document and will be decided with city staff. R+A will also meet with 2 Environmental Justice Organizations to better understand the EJ issues in the community. (Note: The Stakeholder Interviews have been initiated by the General Plan Team as of March 21, 2023.) • Educational Forums. If needed the team can organize one or a series of workshops that inspire the City to this about its future and/or provide background information on the project. Preliminary, one educational forum is planned to provide background on General Plans.
EXHIBIT A
9 City of Marina GPU | Engagement Workplan |8
• Educational videos. The R+A Team will produce a series of educational videos that can be posted online. These will be a combination of recordings from educational forums and workshops and videos specifically created to provide more content on the General Plan. The topic-specific videos will be accompanied by a brief survey to obtain community ideas about the topic.
o General Plan Overview (presentation from the Jan 25 CC/PC joint study session). o Land use and urban design
o Transportation and mobility
o Environmental justice
o Economic development
o Parks, open space, and conservation/habitat
o Infrastructure, with a focus on water (potential). Note that we will need assistance from the water providers and city staff on this presentation. • Community workshops. R+A will organize 6 interactive workshops at key points in the process as listed below. R+A will be responsible for the following: workshop approach and content, developing materials, printing materials, preparing outreach materials to announce the workshops, providing up to 3 staff members to facilitate and run the meeting, and preparing summary notes. City staff will be responsible for meeting logistics, providing staff support and small group facilitators, and timely review of materials. (Note that Workshop 5 will be billed to On-Call Engagement)
o Workshop 1: Educational Workshop on “What is a General Plan?” o Workshop 2: Issues and Opportunities and Vision/Guiding Principles o Workshop 3: Environmental Justice Workshop
o Workshop 4: Develop Land Use and Mobility Alternatives o Workshop 5: Select Preferred Direction
o Workshop 6: Policy Direction on Key Topics
o Workshop 7: Draft General Plan Open House
• Pop-Up Workshops. R+A and city staff will jointly prepare and implement four rounds of pop-up workshops. The phases are below. This engagement activity is not part of the core scope of work so will be billed to the on-call engagement task. In each phase, R+A and city staff will decide upon a division of labor.
o Inform/educate. Preliminary pop-ups to inform the community about the General Plan. Materials distributed will include fact sheet, sign up for email database, and a brief survey (continuation of existing city activities). o Visioning. Collection of information on issues/opportunities, community perspectives, vision for the future.
o Land use alternatives. This series of pop-up will be to review the alternatives for the city and/or specific areas of the city.
EXHIBIT A
10 City of Marina GPU | Engagement Workplan |9
o Policy development. These pop-ups will be for a series of topic-specific pop-ups and/or for input on questions related to specific GP topics. • Surveys/Feedback Forms. R+A will prepare and summarize surveys using SurveyMonkey or other tools. The following are the topics and timing of the surveys. o Existing Conditions Mini Surveys. Series of brief (3-4 question) surveys to accompany the topic-specific educational videos.

The lowest bid total is $27,782,058.47 from Monterey Peninsula Engineering (MPE) of Marina, California. The c ost estimate for City staff co nstruction management, inspection, material testing, biolo gical surveying, construction design support, administration, contingenc y and project closeout is $11,960,000. Therefore, the total project cost amounts to $39,742,058.47.
On February 8, 2023, staff received a bid advisory notice via email from the Foundation for Fair Contracting organization (FFC) requesting that the City re ject MPE’s bid proposal (“EXHIBIT A”). Per the City’s Municipal code and project contract documents, FFC as a non-profit does not meet the requirements to submit a n official bid protest. The allegations of non -responsiveness were reviewed by the City Attorney who found no validation to reject MPE ’s bid proposal. The contractor also provided the City with a re sponse to the bid advisory notice (“EXHIBIT B”).
After consideration of the information provided, staff has found the bid to be responsive and find no issues concerning MPE’s responsibility to perform the work of the contract (“EXHIBIT C”).
The construction contract for the project requires that state prevailing wages be paid for the work performed. City’s Construction Management consultan t, Harris and A ssociates, will monit or compliance with p revailing wage laws for the duration of the project as part of their scope of work.

The C ity previously allocated $2 million in Publ ic Facility Impact Fees (PFIF, Roadway) as part of the Fiscal Year 21/22 budg et. These PFIF funds will be u tilized to advance the payment of pro ject costs prior to reimbursement. This project timeline is approximately two and a half years , and PFIF wil l be restored by the grant funds. It is currently estimated that $500,000 in project costs will be expended in Fiscal Year 22/23, with the remainder to be expended in Fiscal Year s 23/24 and 24/25 . Administering reimbursement with the grantor will be done on a quarterly basis or more frequently as deemed cost effective.

RE: BID ADVISORY
Bidder: Monterey Peninsula Engineering
Awarding Agency: City of Marina
Project: Imjin Parkway Widening Project (RSTPL-5416(011)) FFC Case No.: 1089SJ
Dear Mr. McMinn:
The Foundation for Fair Contracting (FFC) is a nonprofit organization which has been serving the public interest since 1985. The objective of the FFC is to monitor compliance with prevailing wage laws pertaining to the construction industry, including informing and educating industry stakeholders. Unbalanced bids raise questions in regard to performance and compliance with the rules and regulations for the payment of prevailing wages, and the safety and well-being of the workforce. It further opens the question of excessive future change orders, the fairness to and rights of other bidders in the bidding process, and the intent of the bidding process in general.
In deference to all bidders and in order for the public interest to best be served, please enter this formal bid advisory against the above-noted contractor as a matter of public record. We respectfully request that Monterey Peninsula Engineering (MPE) bid be rejected for the following reasons:
• ONGOING VIOLATIONS OF PREVAILING WAGE LAWS RESULTING IN WAGE THEFT
MPE has numerous infractions/violations which have resulted in willful circumvention of the Laws and Regulations Governing the Payment of Prevailing Wages, including, but not limited to, violations resulting in wage theft and non-compliance with apprenticeship laws. MPE has engaged in this pattern of unlawful activity on various public works prevailing wage projects. Civil Wage and Penalty Assessments have been issued to MPE by the State of California, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), Labor Commissioner’s office. We have provided supporting documentation for your review.
Furthermore, MPE is currently under investigation by our offices and the State of California, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), Labor Commissioner’s office in connection with issues provided below. We have provided supporting documentation for your review.
▪ Misclassifications resulting in underpayments.
▪ Failure to comply with overtime requirements.
