(a) The State Constitution requires property to be assessed at one hundred percent of the most recent purchase price, plus an increment of no more than two percent annually, plus any local over-rides. These values are considered to be full market values. (b) California cities do not set their own direct tax rate. The state constitution establishes the rate at 1% and allocates a portion of that amount, by an annual calculation, to all the taxing entities within a tax rate area. (c) Corrections were made for Fiscal Years 2013-14 through 2018-19 to correct the amounts for Other and Tax-Exempt Property. Total assessed value was unchanged.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN
AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Milpitas, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the basic financial statements of the City of Milpitas, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and have issued our report thereon dated November 7, 2021. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements of Terrace Gardens, Inc., as described in our report on the City’s financial statements. This report does not include the results of the other auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weakness may exist that have not been identified. 169
278
Item # C9.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We have also issued a separate Memorandum on Internal Control dated November 7, 2022 which is an integrate part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this report.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Milpitas, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Bicycle/ Pedestrian Projects (Projects) of the City of Milpitas, California, as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the Table of Contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Projects as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the respective changes in financial position for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirement relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Emphasis of a Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Projects and do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the changes in its financial position for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter. 1 284
Item # C9.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Projects’ ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
2 285
Item # C9.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 10, 2022, on our consideration of the Project’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Project’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The has developed the Bicycle/Pedestrian Projects (Projects) under the Transportation Development Act (TDA), Article 3.0 for the construction of pedestrian pathways and wheelchair ramps and bicycle master plan studies. The Projects are funded by TDA grants.
The TDA Fund is distributed through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) which is the agency responsible for allocation of funds to eligible claimants within the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies applicable to the Projects which conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governments.
A. Fund Accounting
The Projects are accounted for as part of the General Government Capital Projects Fund of the City.
This fund is a set of self-balancing accounts which comprise its assets, deferred inflows/outflows of resources, liabilities, fund balance, revenues and expenditures.
B. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized. The Projects are accounted for in a governmental fund type and the modified accrual basis of accounting is used.
Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. The Projects considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within forty-five days after year-end. Expenditures are recognized when they are incurred.
C. Deferred Inflows and Deferred Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expenditure) until then.
In addition to liabilities, the balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. 7 290

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE TRANSPORTATION
DEVELOPMENT ACT AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Milpitas, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the basic financial statements of the Bicycle/ pedestrian Projects (Projects) of the City of Milpitas, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and have issued our report thereon dated November 10, 2022. Our report included an emphasis of a matter paragraph disclosing the implementation of new accounting principles.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Project’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project’s internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Project’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified. 9 292
Item # C9.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Projects’ financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our procedures included the applicable audit procedures contained in §6666 and §6667 of Title 21 of California Code of Regulations and tests of compliance with the applicable provisions of the Transportation Development Act and the allocation instructions and resolutions of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We have also issued a separate Memorandum on Internal Control dated November 10, 2022, which is an integral part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this report.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Project’s internal control and compliance.

MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
To the City Council of
the City of Milpitas, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of Milpitas for the year ended June 30, 2022, and have issued our report thereon dated November 7, 2022. Our opinions on the basic financial statements and this report, insofar as they relate to Terrace Gardens, Inc, are based solely on the report of other auditors. In planning and performing our audit of the City, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. In addition, because of inherent limitations in internal control, including the possibility of management override of controls, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected by such controls. However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiency in internal control that we consider to be a significant deficiency.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider the deficiencies in internal control included on the Schedule of Significant Deficiency to be a significant deficiency.
Included in the Schedule of Other Matters are recommendations not meeting the above definitions that we believe are opportunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency.
Government Auditing Standards require the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City's response to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying Schedule of Significant Deficiency and Schedule of Other Matters and Status of Prior Year Other Matters. The City's response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.

SCHEDULE OF SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY
2022-01 Timeliness of Year-End Close
Criteria: Effective organizations develops plans to ensure that adequate resources are available to analyze the City’s general ledger to ensure that all accounts are accurate and timely for the reporting year.
These resources need to be in place throughout the fiscal year to ensure proper accounting processes and procedures and allow time for the analysis of account balances and activities.
Condition: During the audit, City staff proposed numerous journal entries, which caused the audit team to reprocess and reanalyze the trial balance. City staff had difficulty completing closing entries prior to providing the trial balance for audit in various areas, which affected the year-end closing process and many of the City’s funds.
Cause: The tight labor market directly impacted the City’s recruitment causing multiple vacancies in the finance department. Furthermore, the City’s legacy financial system is inflexible which causes staff to perform time-consuming procedures that delay year-end close.
Potential Effect: The above condition delayed the completion of the year-end closing process, which increases the risk that errors or misstatements may go undetected by staff and corrections may not be made in a timely manner.
Recommendation: The City should analyze staff resources to determine what plans can or should be made to ensure that the financial data is processed properly and timely. In addition, the City must develop procedures to ensure that accounts are analyzed throughout the fiscal year and after the year-end close to ensure that additional closing entries are not required prior to providing the general ledger for audit.
Management Response: The City continues to actively recruit and has been successful in filling several key positions. Also, the City launched a project to assess the finance procedures and systems to identify strengths, challenges, and opportunities.

2022-02 Missing Dates of Preparation and Review for Bank Reconciliations Criteria: Bank reconciliations should be completed as soon as reasonably possible after each month-end, usually within 30 days, and subsequently reviewed for accuracy.
Condition: Per review of February 28, 2022, General Checking bank reconciliation, there was no documentation of when it was reviewed. In addition, per review of the August 31, 2021, and October 31, 2021, Worker’s Compensation bank reconciliations, there was no documentation of the dates when they were prepared and reviewed.
Cause: The General checking bank reconciliation for February 2022 was reviewed however the date was erroneously omitted. The Worker’s Compensation bank reconciliation was transitioned to the City’s worker’s compensation administrator and in doing so, the process was not thoroughly defined with documentation of preparer, reviewer, and dates.
Potential Effect: Bank reconciliation is an essential element of the City’s internal control structure. In order to be an effective control, bank reconciliations should be completed as soon as reasonably possible after each month-end, usually within 30 days, and subsequently reviewed for accuracy. Errors and unreconciled differences should be investigated and corrected immediately, so as to prevent additional errors, unauthorized transactions and decrease in efficiency.
Recommendation: The City should document the date when each bank reconciliation was prepared and reviewed in a timely manner.
Management Response: City will improve its General checking bank reconciliation and workers’ compensation bank reconciliation procedures to ensure the revised forms reflect the preparer, reviewer and dates. A project management tool will ensure the reconciliations are performed and reviewed in a timely manner, and can be monitored accordingly.

GASB 91 – Conduit Debt Obligations
The primary objectives of this Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practice associated with (1) commitments extended by issuers, (2) arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This Statement achieves those objectives by clarifying the existing definition of a conduit debt obligation; establishing that a conduit debt obligation is not a liability of the issuer; establishing standards for accounting and financial reporting of additional commitments and voluntary commitments extended by issuers and arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note disclosures.
A conduit debt obligation is defined as a debt instrument having all of the following characteristics:
There are at least three parties involved:
(1) an issuer
(2) a third-party obligor, and
(3) a debt holder or a debt trustee.
The issuer and the third-party obligor are not within the same financial reporting entity. The debt obligation is not a parity bond of the issuer, nor is it cross-collateralized with other debt of the issuer.
The third-party obligor or its agent, not the issuer, ultimately receives the proceeds from the debt issuance.
The third-party obligor, not the issuer, is primarily obligated for the payment of all amounts associated with the debt obligation (debt service payments).
All conduit debt obligations involve the issuer making a limited commitment. Some issuers extend additional commitments or voluntary commitments to support debt service in the event the third party is, or will be, unable to do so.
An issuer should not recognize a conduit debt obligation as a liability. However, an issuer should recognize a liability associated with an additional commitment or a voluntary commitment to support debt service if certain recognition criteria are met. As long as a conduit debt obligation is outstanding, an issuer that has made an additional commitment should evaluate at least annually whether those criteria are met. An issuer that has made only a limited commitment should evaluate whether those criteria are met when an event occurs that causes the issuer to reevaluate its willingness or ability to support the obligor’s debt service through a voluntary commitment.

GASB 91 – Conduit Debt Obligations (Continued)
This Statement also addresses arrangements—often characterized as leases—that are associated with conduit debt obligations. In those arrangements, capital assets are constructed or acquired with the proceeds of a conduit debt obligation and used by third-party obligors in the course of their activities.
Payments from third-party obligors are intended to cover and coincide with debt service payments.
During those arrangements, issuers retain the titles to the capital assets. Those titles may or may not pass to the obligors at the end of the arrangements.
Issuers should not report those arrangements as leases, nor should they recognize a liability for the related conduit debt obligations or a receivable for the payments related to those arrangements. In addition, the following provisions apply:
If the title passes to the third-party obligor at the end of the arrangement, an issuer should not recognize a capital asset.
If the title does not pass to the third-party obligor and the third party has exclusive use of the entire capital asset during the arrangement, the issuer should not recognize a capital asset until the arrangement ends.
If the title does not pass to the third-party obligor and the third party has exclusive use of only portions of the capital asset during the arrangement, the issuer, at the inception of the arrangement, should recognize the entire capital asset and a deferred inflow of resources. The deferred inflow of resources should be reduced, and an inflow recognized, in a systematic and rational manner over the term of the arrangement.
This Statement requires issuers to disclose general information about their conduit debt obligations, organized by type of commitment, including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the issuers’ conduit debt obligations and a description of each type of commitment. Issuers that recognize liabilities related to supporting the debt service of conduit debt obligations also should disclose information about the amount recognized and how the liabilities changed during the reporting period.
How the Changes in this Statement will Improve Financial Reporting The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by eliminating the existing option for issuers to report conduit debt obligations as their own liabilities, thereby ending significant diversity in practice. The clarified definition will resolve stakeholders’ uncertainty as to whether a given financing is, in fact, a conduit debt obligation. Requiring issuers to recognize liabilities associated with additional commitments extended by issuers and to recognize assets and deferred inflows of resources related to certain arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations also will eliminate diversity, thereby improving comparability in reporting by issuers. Revised disclosure requirements will provide financial statement users with better information regarding the commitments issuers extend and the likelihood that they will fulfill those commitments. That information will inform users of the potential impact of such commitments on the financial resources of issuers and help users assess issuers’ roles in conduit debt obligations.

GASB 94 – Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements The primary objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by addressing issues related to public-private and public-public partnership arrangements (PPPs). As used in this Statement, a PPP is an arrangement in which a government (the transferor) contracts with an operator (a governmental or nongovernmental entity) to provide public services by conveying control of the right to operate or use a nonfinancial asset, such as infrastructure or other capital asset (the underlying PPP asset), for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Some PPPs meet the definition of a service concession arrangement (SCA), which the Board defines in this Statement as a PPP in which (1) the operator collects and is compensated by fees from third parties; (2) the transferor determines or has the ability to modify or approve which services the operator is required to provide, to whom the operator is required to provide the services, and the prices or rates that can be charged for the services; and (3) the transferor is entitled to significant residual interest in the service utility of the underlying PPP asset at the end of the arrangement.
This Statement also provides guidance for accounting and financial reporting for availability payment arrangements (APAs). As defined in this Statement, an APA is an arrangement in which a government compensates an operator for services that may include designing, constructing, financing, maintaining, or operating an underlying nonfinancial asset for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.
PPPs – This Statement requires that PPPs that meet the definition of a lease apply the guidance in Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended, if existing assets of the transferor that are not required to be improved by the operator as part of the PPP arrangement are the only underlying PPP assets and the PPP does not meet the definition of an SCA. This Statement provides accounting and financial reporting requirements for all other PPPs: those that either (1) meet the definition of an SCA or (2) are not within the scope of Statement 87, as amended (as clarified by this Statement). The PPP term is defined as the period during which an operator has a noncancelable right to use an underlying PPP asset, plus, if applicable, certain periods if it is reasonably certain, based on all relevant factors, that the transferor or the operator either will exercise an option to extend the PPP or will not exercise an option to terminate the PPP.
A transferor generally should recognize an underlying PPP asset as an asset in financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. However, in the case of an underlying PPP asset that is not owned by the transferor or is not the underlying asset of an SCA, a transferor should recognize a receivable measured based on the operator’s estimated carrying value of the underlying PPP asset as of the expected date of the transfer in ownership. In addition, a transferor should recognize a receivable for installment payments, if any, to be received from the operator in relation to the PPP.
Measurement of a receivable for installment payments should be at the present value of the payments expected to be received during the PPP term. A transferor also should recognize a deferred inflow of resources for the consideration received or to be received by the transferor as part of the PPP. Revenue should be recognized by a transferor in a systematic and rational manner over the PPP term.
This Statement requires a transferor to recognize a receivable for installment payments and a deferred inflow of resources to account for a PPP in financial statements prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus. Governmental fund revenue would be recognized in a systematic and rational manner over the PPP term.

GASB 94 – Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements (Continued)
This Statement also provides specific guidance in financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus for a government that is an operator in a PPP that either (1) meets the definition of an SCA or (2) is not within the scope of Statement 87, as amended (as clarified in this Statement). An operator should report an intangible right-to-use asset related to an underlying PPP asset that either is owned by the transferor or is the underlying asset of an SCA. Measurement of the right-touse asset should be the amount of consideration to be provided to the transferor, plus any payments made to the transferor at or before the commencement of the PPP term, and certain direct costs. For an underlying PPP asset that is not owned by the transferor and is not the underlying asset of an SCA, an operator should recognize a liability measured based on the estimated carrying value of the underlying PPP asset as of the expected date of the transfer in ownership. In addition, an operator should recognize a liability for installment payments, if any, to be made to the transferor in relation to the PPP. Measurement of a liability for installment payments should be at the present value of the payments expected to be made during the PPP term. An operator also should recognize a deferred outflow of resources for the consideration provided or to be provided to the transferor as part of the PPP. Expense should be recognized by an operator in a systematic and rational manner over the PPP term.
This Statement also requires a government to account for PPP and non-PPP components of a PPP as separate contracts. If a PPP involves multiple underlying assets, a transferor and an operator in certain cases should account for each underlying PPP asset as a separate PPP. To allocate the contract price to different components, a transferor and an operator should use contract prices for individual components as long as they do not appear to be unreasonable based on professional judgment or use professional judgment to determine their best estimate if there are no stated prices or if stated prices appear to be unreasonable. If determining the best estimate is not practicable, multiple components in a PPP should be accounted for as a single PPP.
This Statement also requires an amendment to a PPP to be considered a PPP modification, unless the operator’s right to use the underlying PPP asset decreases, in which case it should be considered a partial or full PPP termination. A PPP termination should be accounted for by a transferor by reducing, as applicable, any receivable for installment payments or any receivable related to the transfer of ownership of the underlying PPP asset and by reducing the related deferred inflow of resources. An operator should account for a termination by reducing the carrying value of the right-to-use asset and, as applicable, any liability for installment payments or liability to transfer ownership of the underlying PPP asset. A PPP modification that does not qualify as a separate PPP should be accounted for by remeasuring PPP assets and liabilities.
APAs – An APA that is related to designing, constructing, and financing a nonfinancial asset in which ownership of the asset transfers by the end of the contract should be accounted for by a government as a financed purchase of the underlying nonfinancial asset. This Statement requires a government that engaged in an APA that contains multiple components to recognize each component as a separate arrangement. An APA that is related to operating or maintaining a nonfinancial asset should be reported by a government as an outflow of resources in the period to which payments relate. 11 308

GASB 96 – Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription-based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users (governments). This Statement (1) defines a SBITA; (2) establishes that a SBITA results in a right-to-use subscription asset—an intangible asset—and a corresponding subscription liability; (3) provides the capitalization criteria for outlays other than subscription payments, including implementation costs of a SBITA; and (4) requires note disclosures regarding a SBITA. To the extent relevant, the standards for SBITAs are based on the standards established in Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended.
A SBITA is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s (a SBITA vendor’s) information technology (IT) software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the underlying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.
The subscription term includes the period during which a government has a noncancelable right to use the underlying IT assets. The subscription term also includes periods covered by an option to extend (if it is reasonably certain that the government or SBITA vendor will exercise that option) or to terminate (if it is reasonably certain that the government or SBITA vendor will not exercise that option).
Under this Statement, a government generally should recognize a right-to-use subscription asset—an intangible asset—and a corresponding subscription liability. A government should recognize the subscription liability at the commencement of the subscription term, —which is when the subscription asset is placed into service. The subscription liability should be initially measured at the present value of subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Future subscription payments should be discounted using the interest rate the SBITA vendor charges the government, which may be implicit, or the government’s incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate is not readily determinable. A government should recognize amortization of the discount on the subscription liability as an outflow of resources (for example, interest expense) in subsequent financial reporting periods.
The subscription asset should be initially measured as the sum of (1) the initial subscription liability amount, (2) payments made to the SBITA vendor before commencement of the subscription term, and (3) capitalizable implementation costs, less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term. A government should recognize amortization of the subscription asset as an outflow of resources over the subscription term.
Activities associated with a SBITA, other than making subscription payments, should be grouped into the following three stages, and their costs should be accounted for accordingly:
Preliminary Project Stage, including activities such as evaluating alternatives, determining needed technology, and selecting a SBITA vendor. Outlays in this stage should be expensed as incurred. Initial Implementation Stage, including all ancillary charges necessary to place the subscription asset into service. Outlays in this stage generally should be capitalized as an addition to the subscription asset.
Operation and Additional Implementation Stage, including activities such as subsequent implementation activities, maintenance, and other activities for a government’s ongoing operations related to a SBITA. Outlays in this stage should be expensed as incurred unless they meet specific capitalization criteria.

CITY OF MILPITAS
MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
SCHEDULE OF OTHER MATTERS
GASB 96 – Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (Continued) In classifying certain outlays into the appropriate stage, the nature of the activity should be the determining factor. Training costs should be expensed as incurred, regardless of the stage in which they are incurred.
If a SBITA contract contains multiple components, a government should account for each component as a separate SBITA or nonsubscription component and allocate the contract price to the different components. If it is not practicable to determine a best estimate for price allocation for some or all components in the contract, a government should account for those components as a single SBITA.
This Statement provides an exception for short-term SBITAs. Short-term SBITAs have a maximum possible term under the SBITA contract of 12 months (or less), including any options to extend, regardless of their probability of being exercised. Subscription payments for short-term SBITAs should be recognized as outflows of resources.
This Statement requires a government to disclose descriptive information about its SBITAs other than short-term SBITAs, such as the amount of the subscription asset, accumulated amortization, other payments not included in the measurement of a subscription liability, principal and interest requirements for the subscription liability, and other essential information.
How the Changes in this Statement will Improve Financial Reporting The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by establishing a definition for SBITAs and providing uniform guidance for accounting and financial reporting for transactions that meet that definition. That definition and uniform guidance will result in greater consistency in practice.
Establishing the capitalization criteria for implementation costs also will reduce diversity and improve comparability in financial reporting by governments. This Statement also will enhance the relevance and reliability of a government’s financial statements by requiring a government to report a subscription asset and subscription liability for a SBITA and to disclose essential information about the arrangement. The disclosures will allow users to understand the scale and important aspects of a government’s SBITA activities and evaluate a government’s obligations and assets resulting from SBITAs. 13 310

GASB 100 – Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability.
This Statement defines accounting changes as changes in accounting principles, changes in accounting estimates, and changes to or within the financial reporting entity and describes the transactions or other events that constitute those changes. As part of those descriptions, for (1) certain changes in accounting principles and (2) certain changes in accounting estimates that result from a change in measurement methodology, a new principle or methodology should be justified on the basis that it is preferable to the principle or methodology used before the change. That preferability should be based on the qualitative characteristics of financial reporting—understandability, reliability, relevance, timeliness, consistency, and comparability. This Statement also addresses corrections of errors in previously issued financial statements.
This Statement prescribes the accounting and financial reporting for (1) each type of accounting change and (2) error corrections. This Statement requires that (a) changes in accounting principles and error corrections be reported retroactively by restating prior periods, (b) changes to or within the financial reporting entity be reported by adjusting beginning balances of the current period, and (c) changes in accounting estimates be reported prospectively by recognizing the change in the current period. The requirements of this Statement for changes in accounting principles apply to the implementation of a new pronouncement in absence of specific transition provisions in the new pronouncement. This Statement also requires that the aggregate amount of adjustments to and restatements of beginning net position, fund balance, or fund net position, as applicable, be displayed by reporting unit in the financial statements.
This Statement requires disclosure in notes to financial statements of descriptive information about accounting changes and error corrections, such as their nature. In addition, information about the quantitative effects on beginning balances of each accounting change and error correction should be disclosed by reporting unit in a tabular format to reconcile beginning balances as previously reported to beginning balances as restated.
Furthermore, this Statement addresses how information that is affected by a change in accounting principle or error correction should be presented in required supplementary information (RSI) and supplementary information (SI). For periods that are earlier than those included in the basic financial statements, information presented in RSI or SI should be restated for error corrections, if practicable, but not for changes in accounting principles.

GASB 101 – Compensated Absences
The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning the recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures.
Recognition And Measurement
This Statement requires that liabilities for compensated absences be recognized for (1) leave that has not been used and (2) leave that has been used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means. A liability should be recognized for leave that has not been used if (a) the leave is attributable to services already rendered, (b) the leave accumulates, and (c) the leave is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means. Leave is attributable to services already rendered when an employee has performed the services required to earn the leave. Leave that accumulates is carried forward from the reporting period in which it is earned to a future reporting period during which it may be used for time off or otherwise paid or settled. In estimating the leave that is more likely than not to be used or otherwise paid or settled, a government should consider relevant factors such as employment policies related to compensated absences and historical information about the use or payment of compensated absences. However, leave that is more likely than not to be settled through conversion to defined benefit postemployment benefits should not be included in a liability for compensated absences.
This Statement requires that a liability for certain types of compensated absences—including parental leave, military leave, and jury duty leave—not be recognized until the leave commences. This Statement also requires that a liability for specific types of compensated absences not be recognized until the leave is used.
This Statement also establishes guidance for measuring a liability for leave that has not been used, generally using an employee’s pay rate as of the date of the financial statements. A liability for leave that has been used but not yet paid or settled should be measured at the amount of the cash payment or noncash settlement to be made. Certain salary-related payments that are directly and incrementally associated with payments for leave also should be included in the measurement of the liabilities.
With respect to financial statements prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus, this Statement requires that expenditures be recognized for the amount that normally would be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.
Notes To Financial Statements
This Statement amends the existing requirement to disclose the gross increases and decreases in a liability for compensated absences to allow governments to disclose only the net change in the liability (as long as they identify it as a net change). In addition, governments are no longer required to disclose which governmental funds typically have been used to liquidate the liability for compensated absences. 15 312

How the Changes in this Statement Will Improve Financial Reporting The unified recognition and measurement model in this Statement will result in a liability for compensated absences that more appropriately reflects when a government incurs an obligation. In addition, the model can be applied consistently to any type of compensated absence and will eliminate potential comparability issues between governments that offer different types of leave.
The model also will result in a more robust estimate of the amount of compensated absences that a government will pay or settle, which will enhance the relevance and reliability of information about the liability for compensated absences.

2016-05 Information Systems Best Practices
We conducted an Information Systems Review with our audit which encompassed the City’s financial information system and the network environment that houses it. We expanded our work in previous years beyond simply looking at financial information systems as a result of greater risks of unauthorized access caused by overall industry growth of web-based commerce and internet based financial systems. Internal controls that are present in the overall network environment have become more important and relevant to understanding the internal controls over the financial system. We believe Information System controls must be continuously improved and enhanced to stay ahead of the ever increasing sophistication of hackers and criminals.
Currently, there are no Information Systems standards to which local governments are required to conform. Indeed, there are a wide variety of informal guidelines and suggested controls from many different organizations which local governments can use to implement appropriate controls to ensure adequate security over information technology. A voluntary risk-based Cybersecurity Framework has been developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) per Presidential Executive Order 13636 (12 FEB 2013). The Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity version 1.0 (12 FEB 2014) offers a number of appropriate standards. Our Information Systems auditors have reviewed the voluntary framework and concluded that the risk management framework developed by NIST for the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) is the most appropriate for local governments1
. The NIST risk management framework represents the minimum security requirements for federal government agencies and recommends these controls for private industry and state and local governments.
While the results of our work did not indicate material weaknesses, we noted a few areas which could be improved. A summary of these recommendations which we believe are “best practices” are as follows:
Business Continuity Planning with Regards to Information Technology The City does not have a formal written information technology business continuity policy. As organizations rely more and more on information technology and electronic data storage for an increasingly wider scope of processes, it becomes more and more important to develop a plan to make those resources available during and after some form of disaster. A formal disaster recovery business continuity policy serves to show management’s intent and due diligence for the continuity of operations.
A disaster recovery policy or contingency plan should address what to do in case of a disaster and how to prepare for a disaster that cripples or closes the computer center such as a fire, flood, natural or manmade disaster. The City should consider developing and implementing an IT contingency plan which would include procedures for periodic information backup and offsite storage, along with an alternative processing site that would allow the City to continue to operate in the event of a disaster.2 1 "State, local, and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations are encouraged to consider using these guidelines, as appropriate."

To the City Council of
the City of Milpitas, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of Milpitas for the year ended June 30, 2022. We did not audit the financial statements of Terrace Gardens, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, which represent 1.04%, 1.56%, and 1.21% of the assets, net position and revenues, respectively, of the primary government. These component unit financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for this entity, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter dated April 29, 2022.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Accounting Policies - Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted, and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year, except as follows:
GASB 87 – Leases
The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by improving accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement increases the usefulness of governments’ financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities.
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity’s nonfinancial asset (the underlying asset) as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Examples of nonfinancial assets include buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment. Any contract that meets this definition should be accounted for under the leases guidance, unless specifically excluded in this Statement.
The pronouncement became effective, and as disclosed in Note 10 to the financial statements required a prior period restatement for the cumulative effect on the financial statements. 1 320
Item # C9.
GASB 90 – Majority Equity Interests (an amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 61) The primary objectives of this Statement are to improve the consistency and comparability of reporting a government’s majority equity interest in a legally separate organization and to improve the relevance of financial statement information for certain component units. It defines a majority equity interest and specifies that a majority equity interest in a legally separate organization should be reported as an investment if a government’s holding of the equity interest meets the definition of an investment. A majority equity interest that meets the definition of an investment should be measured using the equity method, unless it is held by a special-purpose government engaged only in fiduciary activities, a fiduciary fund, or an endowment (including permanent and term endowments) or permanent fund. Those governments and funds should measure the majority equity interest at fair value.
For all other holdings of a majority equity interest in a legally separate organization, a government should report the legally separate organization as a component unit, and the government or fund that holds the equity interest should report an asset related to the majority equity interest using the equity method. This Statement establishes that ownership of a majority equity interest in a legally separate organization results in the government being financially accountable for the legally separate organization and, therefore, the government should report that organization as a component unit.
This Statement also requires that a component unit in which a government has a 100 percent equity interest account for its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources at acquisition value at the date the government acquired a 100 percent equity interest in the component unit. Transactions presented in flows statements of the component unit in that circumstance should include only transactions that occurred subsequent to the acquisition.
The pronouncement became effective, but did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
GASB 97 – Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans—An Amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 84, and a Supersession of GASB Statement No. 32
The primary objectives of this Statement are to (1) increase consistency and comparability related to the reporting of fiduciary component units in circumstances in which a potential component unit does not have a governing board and the primary government performs the duties that a governing board typically would perform; (2) mitigate costs associated with the reporting of certain defined contribution pension plans, defined contribution other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans, and employee benefit plans other than pension plans or OPEB plans (other employee benefit plans) as fiduciary component units in fiduciary fund financial statements; and (3) enhance the relevance, consistency, and comparability of the accounting and financial reporting for Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 457 deferred compensation plans (Section 457 plans) that meet the definition of a pension plan and for benefits provided through those plans.
The pronouncement became effective, but did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
2 321
Item # C9.
GASB 99 – Omnibus 2022
The objectives of this Statement are to enhance comparability in accounting and financial reporting and to improve the consistency of authoritative literature by addressing (1) practice issues that have been identified during implementation and application of certain GASB Statements and (2) accounting and financial reporting for financial guarantees. The Statement contains provisions that are to be implemented in phases over three fiscal years. The practice issues addressed by this Statement that are effective in fiscal year 2022 are as follows:
Extension of the period during which the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is considered an appropriate benchmark interest rate for the qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of an interest rate swap that hedges the interest rate risk of taxable debt Accounting for the distribution of benefits as part of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Disclosures related to nonmonetary transactions
Pledges of future revenues when resources are not received by the pledging government Clarification of provisions in Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements—and Management’s Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments, as amended, related to the focus of the government-wide financial statements Terminology updates related to certain provisions of Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position
Terminology used in Statement 53 to refer to resource flows statements.
The requirements in paragraphs 26-32 of the pronouncement became effective, but did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
The following pronouncements became effective, but did not have a material effect on the financial statements:
GASB 89 – Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period GASB 92 – Omnibus 2020
GASB 93 – Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates
Unusual Transactions, Controversial or Emerging Areas - We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting Estimates - Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:
Estimated Fair Value of Investments: As of June 30, 2022, the City held approximately $378.1 million of cash and investments as measured by fair value as disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements. Fair value is essentially market pricing in effect as of June 30, 2022. These fair values are not required to be adjusted for changes in general market conditions occurring subsequent to June 30, 2022.
3 322
Item # C9.
Estimate of Depreciation: Management’s estimate of the depreciation is based on useful lives determined by management. These lives have been determined by management based on the expected useful life of assets as disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the depreciation estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimate of Compensated Absences: Accrued compensated absences which are comprised of accrued vacation and sick leave is estimated using accumulated unpaid leave hours and hourly pay rates in effect at the end of the fiscal year as disclosed in Note 13F to the financial statements.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accrued compensated absences in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Claims Liabilities: Management’s estimate of the claims liabilities payable is disclosed in Note 14 to the financial statements and is based on estimates determined by the City’s risk pool and third party claims administrator, which are based on the claims experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Net Pension Liabilities and Pension-Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources: Management’s estimate of the net pension liabilities and deferred outflows/inflows of resources are disclosed in Note 12C to the financial statements and are based on accounting valuations determined by the California Public Employees Retirement System, which are based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Net OPEB Asset: Management’s estimate of the net OPEB asset is disclosed in Note 13C to the financial statements and is based on actuarial study determined by a consultant, which is based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Net OPEB Liability and Pension-Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources:
Management’s estimate of the net OPEB liability is disclosed in Note 13D to the financial statements and is based on actuarial study determined by a consultant, which is based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Disclosures - The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole. 4 323
Item # C9.
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely uncorrected misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We have no such misstatements to report to the City Council.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in a management representation letter dated November 7, 2022.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information that accompanies and supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the required supplementary information and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the required supplementary information.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information that accompanies the financial statements, but is not required supplementary information. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves. 5 324
Item # C9.
We were not engaged to report on the Introductory and Statistical Sections which accompany the financial statements, but are not required supplementary information. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

A Master Encroachment Agreement (Attached) is recommended to allow for the installation, maintenance, perpetual use, and outlines the terms and conditions for the use of the public right-of-way.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Not approve the proposed Master Encroachment Agreement with Bandwidth IG for installation of fiber optic telecommunications equipment with the City’s public right of way.
Pros: None
Cons: Not approving the Master Encroachment Agreement may delay installation of the telecommunications equipment and delay business within Milpitas from enhanced communications connectivity.
Reason for Not Recommending: State law has authorized the use of the public right of way for installation of telecommunications equipment. The proposed Master Encroachment Permit Agreement allows for the installation, maintenance, perpetual use, and outlines the terms and conditions for the use of the public rightof-way.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Bandwidth IG will pay City review costs for plan review and construction inspection for installation of their fiber optic communications equipment within City right of way.

3 the corporate limits of the CITY to provide Telecommunications Services, subject to obtaining all required permits and approvals. ENCROACHER may install replacement poles (subject to the approval of the pole owner and CITY).
2.3 ENCROACHER shall not commence installation of Network Facilities until ENCROACHER has first obtained a permit to do so in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law. Before ENCROACHER applies for any new permits after the Effective Date of this Agreement, ENCROACHER must submit: (i) a comprehensive master plan ("Master Plan") showing at a minimum the location and specific details (i.e., underground depth, above-ground height, etc.) of all Network Facilities presently installed within the City's limits; (ii) a Master Plan showing a high-level design of all Network Facilities presently intended to be installed over the five-year period from the Effective Date; and (iii) the Bond (as defined in Section 8).

ENCROACHER shall provide an updated Master Plan annually, showing, to the extent applicable, any change to the Master Plan submitted in the prior year.
ENCROACHER does not warrant the continuing accuracy of the Master Plan or any updates to the Master Plan as it relates to anticipated projects, and ENCROACHER may, in its sole discretion, deviate at any time from the Master Plan as it relates to anticipated projects, subject, however, to ENCROACHER providing notice to the City Engineer and updating the Master Plan and, obtaining all appropriate and necessary Encroachment Permits and other licenses, permits, authorizations, and approvals required under this Agreement
2.4 ENCROACHER shall not install or erect any facilities or apparatus in or on other public property or places, or within any privately owned area within CITY which has not yet become a public street but is designated or delineated as a proposed public street on any tentative subdivision or parcel map approved by CITY, except those installed or erected upon public utility facilities now existing, without obtaining the prior written approval of the City Engineer.
2.5 ENCROACHER is not authorized to place any facilities other than Network Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way, without first obtaining written authorizations and required permits (including any necessary franchises) from the CITY, except that the foregoing does not apply to facilities where state law preempts any requirement for local authorization.
2.6 ENCROACHER shall comply with any lawful provision that the CITY may adopt in the future requiring it to obtain a franchise or other authorization and may be required to do so as a condition of the continued effectiveness of this Agreement. The City Engineer shall, subject to applicable laws, be solely responsible for determining what written authorizations and or permits are required. ENCROACHER agrees that once a written authorization and/or permit is determined to be required, ENCROACHER shall first apply for same before challenging the requirement.
2.7 This Agreement does not authorize use of any property other than the City Public Rights of Way. Any use of any other CITY-owned or CITY-controlled property, including but not limited to poles and conduits, shall require a separate agreement.
2.8 No use of any Public Right-of-Way or other interest or property under this 332
Item # C10.
4 Agreement shall create or vest in ENCROACHER any ownership or other interest in the Public Right-of-Way, streets or any other property or interest of the CITY. This Agreement is not a grant by the CITY of any property interest but is made subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right of CITY and its assigns to use all the Public Right-of-Way in the performance of its governmental duties and police powers including but not limited to, public use as a street and for the purpose of laying, installing, maintaining, repairing, protecting, replacing, and removing sanitary sewers, water mains, storm drains, gas mains, poles, overhead and underground electrics, and telephone lines electroliers, cable television, and other utility and municipal uses together with appurtenances thereof and with right of ingress and egress, along, over, across, and in said Public Right-of-Way.
ENCROACHER shall have a duty to remove, relocate, and rearrange its facilities within a time frame set forth by CITY (subject to force majeure and events beyond the control of ENCROACHER), and at its own expense (except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement), in order to accommodate such uses, as further provided in this Agreement and applicable law.
Further, ENCROACHER shall not cause any unreasonable delay or interference with CITY’s access to the Public Right-of-Way. ENCROACHER shall not interfere with the operations of CITY in the Public Right-of-Way, whether or not such interference is considered material.
2.9 The grant of rights in this Agreement is made subject to all easements, restrictions, conditions, covenants, encumbrances, and claims of title which may affect the Public Right-of-Way, and it is understood that ENCROACHER, at its own costs and expense, shall obtain such permission as may be necessary consistent with any other existing rights. No reference herein to a "Public Right-of-Way" shall be deemed to be representation or guarantee by CITY that its interest or other rights to control the use of such property is sufficient to permit its use for such purposes, and ENCROACHER shall be deemed to gain only those rights to use the property as the CITY may have the undisputed right and power to give, and which do not interfere with CITY's needs for uses within the Public Right-of-Way. In the event of any conflict, the use of the subject Public Right-ofWay by ENCROACHER is secondary to the rights and needs of the CITY.
2.10 This Agreement shall be for the non-exclusive use of the Public Right-ofWay. By executing this Agreement, CITY does not agree to restrict the use of the Public Rights-of-Way in all or any part of the CITY by any person in the same business, a related business, or a competing business as ENCROACHER.
2.11 If the CITY is not prohibited from charging for use of the Public Right-ofWay by ENCROACHER by state or federal statute, it may do so, and the payment of any lawful compensation established by the CITY shall be a condition of the continued effectiveness of this Agreement.
SECTION 3
CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
3.1 The construction, operation or repair and maintenance of Network Facilities shall be in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, including, without limitation, zoning laws, construction codes, and CITY's latest standard specifications and details, as the same may exist now, or be hereafter issued, amended or revised, and any supplements thereto or revisions of this Agreement, and any Franchise or other authorization now or in the future. Nothing in this Agreement prevents the CITY from establishing additional or stricter conditions (even with respect to the matters specified in those sections) and requiring ENCROACHER to comply with the same. In the event of a 333
Item # C10.
5 conflict among codes and standards, the most stringent code or standard, as determined in the sole judgment of the City Engineer consistent with applicable law, shall apply.

Category: Consent Calendar-Public Safety
Meeting Date: 12/6/2022
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the purchase of two 2023 Ford Super Duty F-250 SRW (W2B) XLT 4WD Crew Cabs for the Fire Department through a Sourcewell Cooperative Contract with National Auto Fleet Group in the amount of $154,270.06 and find a CEQA exemption.
BACKGROUND:
The next priorities for Fire apparatus replacement are Fire command/deployment vehicles. As part of the Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget, Council approved the purchase of two (2) Fire Command Vehicles for the Fire Department.
The two command vehicles are expected to improve reliability of the command fleet when transporting personal protection equipment (PPE) and command staff to sites of emergency calls. The Fire Department is requesting the purchase of two replacement Fire Command Staff vehicles to be stationed at Fire Station One at 777 South Main Street, Milpitas CA. These replacement units will be Ford Super Duty F-250 SRW (W2B) XLT 4WD Crew Cabs.
ANALYSIS:
Staff recommends a cooperative purchase through Sourcewell Contract 091521-NAF for Two 2023 Ford Super Duty F-250 SRW (W2B) XLT 4WD Crew Cabs for the Fire Department from National Auto Fleet Group.
Cooperative purchasing through the Sourcewell Contract is specifically authorized pursuant to Municipal Code Section I-2-3.05 “Public Agency Purchases”, The Purchasing Agent reviewed all of the documentation from the Sourcewell Contract No. 091521-NAF and has determined that the underlying purchase was made using competitive bidding procedures. Contract No. 091521-NAF is currently valid through November 8, 2025. All Sourcewell contracts provide nationally bid volume pricing to member cities not otherwise available for a single purchase. The purchase will be completed by issuing a purchase order with the City’s standard terms and conditions for materials and equipment.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: City Council does not adopt a resolution to approve the purchase.
Pros: Savings of expenditures.
Cons: Delay in replacement will increase maintenance of the existing fleet due to age of apparatus as well as increase cost of the purchase of the new vehicles after December 16, 2022.
Reason for Not Recommending: This apparatus is vital to the operations of the Milpitas Fire Department as it has a direct impact on emergency response and reliability of the command fleet when transporting personal protection equipment (PPE).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Purchase of two 2023 Ford Super Duty F-250 SRW (W2B) XLT 4WD Crew Cabs will cost $154,270.06.
Appropriation and funding is included in the FY2022-23 Adopted Budget approved by City Council within the Fire Department budget. 350
Item # C11.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):
Not applicable. The selection and contractual arrangement do not constitute a project, in accordance with Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.
RECOMMENDATION:

ANALYSIS:
There is one remaining residential unit of the thirteen total properties owned by the Housing Authority for sale (Property No. 2 in the table above). The residential property located at 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208 was being rented to a low-income household at a low-income rent level. The tenants of this property signed a Lease Agreement with an Option to Purchase from the Housing Authority. The Option to Purchase provided the tenants with the option to purchase the unit. The lease, which was executed in 2013, expired in 2014. Tenants have been on month-to-month since that time.
Housing staff has periodically reached out to the tenants about purchasing their unit. Staff worked with the tenants to purchase their unit so the sale to a low-income household could have occurred before August 31, 2022. The Option to Purchase was not exercised by the tenants of 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208.
On October 4, 2022, the Housing Division held a lottery to procure an eligible buyer for 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208 (Attachment 1). The application period was from August 15, 2022, to August 26, 2022. The lottery was a fair and transparent process. with 7 applicants participating in the lottery.
The initial five-year period to dispose of the property expired on August 31, 2017. The Housing Authority Commission adopted a resolution approving a one-time expiration date extension to August 31, 2022. Due to delays caused by a lack of staffing resources, the City did not meet the deadline to dispose of 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208 by this date. The sale of this property will bring the City into compliance. 600 S. Abel Street #208 Unit Purchase
In total, 10 applications were received by the Housing Division for the 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208 Below Market Rate property. Of the 10 applications received, 7 applications were eligible to proceed to the lottery phase. A buyer was procured at the lottery held on October 4th, 2022. To be eligible for the lottery phase, applicants must meet all requirements and provide the necessary supporting documents.

The following procedure describes the steps in assigning the number of lottery tickets to applicants:
1. Each applicant receives one lottery ticket as a baseline for submitting their application.
2. Each preference category is assigned additional tickets based on the weighting for that preference category.
3. Each applicant identifies which preferences apply to their household. These preferences are then used to determine how many additional lottery tickets each household will receive. The intent of the weighted 367

In accordance with the Agreements, the Redevelopment Agency entered into a “Property Value Restrictions, Resale Agreement and Option to Purchase” (the “Original Resale Agreement”) with the prior owner of that certain property located within the City of Milpitas, legally described in Exhibit A and commonly known as 600 S. Abel Street #208, Milpitas, CA 95035 (the “Property”), which was recorded in the Official Records of Santa Clara County as Document No. __________ on _______________. The Property is one of the affordable homes constructed by the Developer pursuant to the Agreement. The Original Resale Agreement granted the Redevelopment Agency an Option to Purchase the Property from the prior owner, unless the prior owner sold the Property to a moderate income household for an affordable housing cost, subject to the purchaser agreeing to being subject to resale restrictions similar to those set forth in the Original Resale Agreement.
D. Owner is the owner of Property, which Owner purchased from the prior owner on the condition that Owner would enter into this Agreement to maintain the conditions and restrictions on resale of the Property similar to those set forth in the Original Resale Agreement.
E. Owner is an eligible moderate-income purchaser under the Program, intends to live in the Property as an owner occupant, and agrees to maintain the Property as Owner’s principal residence.
F. In order to maintain and preserve the Property as housing affordable to eligible [very low-, low-, or moderate-] income purchasers, it is necessary to restrict the use and resale of the Property through imposition of the occupancy and resale restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
These restrictions are intended to prevent initial and subsequent purchasers from using the Property for purposes incompatible with the Program and realizing unwarranted gains from sales of the Property at unrestricted prices. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are intended to provide the necessary occupancy and resale restrictions to ensure that the Property is used, maintained, and preserved as housing affordable to eligible [very low-, low-, or moderate-] purchasers. To further serve the purposes of the Program, it is necessary that the Authority be granted an option to purchase the property so that the property may be resold by the Authority to an eligible household.
G. Accordingly, the Parties desire to enter into this Resale Restriction and Option to Purchase Agreement, which provides, generally, that Owner may only sell the property to Eligible Households (i.e. households meeting the household income limitations set forth herein) at a price not to exceed the price equal to the initial purchase price adjusted to reflect increases in median household income since the Property was initially purchased by Owner. Alternatively, 404
Item # C12.
38077.01007\32986635.1
the Agreement provides that the City may exercise its option to purchase the Property at the same price.
H. The Property constitutes a valuable community resource by providing decent, safe, and sanitary housing to persons and families of low and moderate income who otherwise would be unable to afford such housing. To protect and preserve this resource it is necessary, proper, and in the public interest for the Authority to administer occupancy and resale controls consistent with the Program by means of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the substantial economic benefits inuring to Owner and the public purposes to be achieved under the Program, Owner and Authority hereby agree as follows:

purchaser, the Authority’s consent shall be conditioned upon (i) the proposed purchaser’s qualification as an Eligible Household; (ii) the sale of the Property at a price not to exceed the Adjusted Resale Price; (iii) the proposed purchaser’s execution of a Disclosure Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or such other form or forms as may be promulgated by the Authority ; and (iv) the proposed purchaser’s assumption of Owner’s duties and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a written assumption agreement in a form acceptable to Authority, or execution of an agreement substantially similar to this Agreement, within One hundred twenty (120) days after the Consent to Transfer has been delivered to Owner and recordation of such assumption agreement or substitute agreement. If the prospective purchaser (i) fails to qualify as an Eligible Household, (ii) fails to execute and deliver the Disclosure Statement to the Authority, or (iii) fails to execute and deliver to the Authority an assumption agreement or an agreement substantially similar to this Agreement within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, then the Consent to Transfer shall expire and the Authority may, at its option, either notify Owner of the disqualification, thereby entitling Owner to locate another purchaser who qualifies as Eligible Household, or exercise the Option, as if no Consent to Transfer had been delivered.
iv. Time Period for Notice. The Authority shall deliver a Consent to Transfer, if applicable, not later than ninety (90) days after the date that it receives notification of an Option Event. The Authority shall deliver a Notice of Exercise, if applicable, on or before the date which is the later to occur of the following: (i) one hundred twenty (120) days after the date that the Authority receives notification of an Option Event or (ii) thirty (30) days after a Consent to Transfer has expired.

The Authority shall have no obligation to deliver a Notice of Exercise or Consent to Transfer, and the applicable time period for exercise of the Option shall not commence to run, unless and until the Agency has received notification of an Option Event in the manner specified in this subparagraph. If there is a stay or injunction imposed by court order precluding the Authority from delivering its Consent to Transfer or Notice of Exercise within the applicable time period, then the running of such period shall cease until such time as the stay is lifted or the injunction is dissolved and the Authority has been given written notice thereof, at which time the period for delivery of a Consent to Transfer or Notice of Exercise shall again begin to run.

Unless Owner requests recordation of notice of abandonment within 30 days of the Authority’s failure to deliver Notice of Exercise or Consent to Transfer, the Authority shall have no obligation to record the notice of abandonment.

Item # C12.
38077.01007\32986635.1
vi. Right to Reinstatement. If the Option Event is the recordation of a notice of default, then the Agency shall be deemed to be Owner’s successor in interest under California Civil Code Section 2924c (or successor section) solely for purposes of reinstatement of any mortgage on the Property that has led to the recordation of the notice of default. As Owner’s deemed successor in interest, the Authority shall be entitled to pay all amounts of principal, interest, taxes, assessments, homeowners’ association fees, insurance premiums, advances, costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses required to cure the default. If the Agency exercises the Option, then any and all amounts paid by the Authority pursuant to this Paragraph shall be treated as Adjustments to the Base Resale Price for the Property, as defined in Paragraph 5 below.
vii. Inspection of Property. After receiving a Notice of Intent to transfer or delivering a Notice of Exercise, the Authority shall be entitled to inspect the Property one or more times prior to the close of escrow to determine the amount of any Adjustments to the Base Resale Price. Before inspecting the Property, the Authority shall give Owner not less than forty-eight (48) hours’ written notice of the date, time and expected duration of the inspection.

Prior to the close of escrow, the Authority shall deposit into escrow with a title company of Authority’s choosing, an amount equal to the Adjusted Resale Price as defined in Paragraph 5 below and all escrow fees and closing costs to be paid by Authority. Commissions (not to exceed 6% of the actual sales price), closing costs and title insurance shall be paid pursuant to the custom and practice in the County of Santa Clara at the time of the opening of escrow, or as may otherwise be provided by mutual agreement. Owner agrees to perform all acts and execute all documents reasonably necessary to effectuate the close of escrow and transfer of the Property to the Authority. ix. Proceeds of Escrow; Removal of Exceptions to Title. Prior to close of escrow, Owner shall cause the removal of all exceptions to title to the Property that were recorded after the Effective Date with the exception of (i) taxes for the fiscal year in which the escrow for this transaction closes, which taxes shall be prorated as between Owner and Authority as of the date of close of escrow; (ii) quasi-public utility, public alley, public street easements, and rights of way of record, and (iii) such other liens, encumbrances, reservations and restrictions as may be approved in writing by Authority (“Permitted Exceptions”).
The purchase price deposited into escrow by the Authority shall be applied first to the payment of any and all Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in Paragraph 10) recorded against the Property in order of lien priority, and thereafter to the payment of Owner’s share of escrow fees and closing costs. Any amounts remaining after the purchase price has been so applied, if any, shall be paid to Owner upon the close of escrow. If the purchase price is 409
Item # C12.
38077.01007\32986635.1

In the event that the Authority agrees to proceed with close of escrow prior to the date that Owner has caused all exceptions to title recorded after the Effective Date other than Permitted Exceptions to be removed, then Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold Authority harmless from any and all costs expenses or liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) incurred or suffered by Authority that relate to such exceptions and their removal as exceptions to title to the Property.
4. Base Resale Price. Prior to adjustment pursuant to Paragraph 5 the base resale price (“Base Resale Price”) of the Property shall be the lowest of:

The Authority’s Share shall be paid to the Authority concurrently with close of escrow on the sale of the Property, or upon receipt by Owner of the sale price for the Property, whichever shall first occur.

Item # C12.
Properties located at 1432-1446 S. Main Street, also known as Parcel 1, will be sold in Quarter 2 of 2023 (Properties 5-12 in the chart above).
The purpose of this agenda is to authorize the sale of 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208 to be in compliance with the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
ANALYSIS:
There is one remaining residential unit of the thirteen total properties owned by the Housing Authority for sale (Property 2 on the chart above). The residential property located at 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208 was being rented to a low-income household at a low-income rent level. The tenants of this property signed a Lease Agreement with an Option to Purchase from the Housing Authority. The Option to Purchase provided the tenants with the option to purchase the unit. The lease, which was executed in 2013, expired in 2014.
Tenants have been on month-to-month since that time.
Housing staff has periodically reached out to the tenants about purchasing their unit. Staff worked with the remaining tenants to purchase their unit so the sale to low-income household occurred before August 31, 2022. The Option to Purchase was not exercised by the tenants of 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208.
On October 4, 2022, the Housing Division held a lottery to procure an eligible buyer for 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208 (Attachment 1). The application period to apply for the unit was from August 15, 2022, to August 26, 2022. The lottery, was a fair and transparent process, resulting in 7 applicants participating in the lottery.
The initial five-year period to dispose of the property expired on August 31, 2017. The Housing Authority Commission adopted a resolution approving a one-time expiration date extension to August 31, 2022. Due to delays caused by a lack of staffing resources, the City did not meet the deadline to dispose of 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208 by this date. The sale of this property will bring the City into compliance. 600 S. Abel Street #208 Unit Purchase
In total, 10 applications were received by the Housing Division for the 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208 Below Market Rate property. Of the 10 applications received, 7 applications were eligible to proceed to the lottery phase. A buyer was procured at the lottery held on October 4th, 2022. To be eligible for the lottery phase, applicants must meet all requirements and provide the necessary supporting documents.
The Below Market Rate program requirements for 600 S. Abel Street Unit #208 are as follows:
Must be a first-time home buyer.
Must be an eligible “Moderate-Income Household.”
Must have a household size of 1-3.
Must have the ability to provide at least a 5-10% down payment. Must provide a Pre-Qualification Letter.
Must provide necessary supporting documents to validate application details (W2 forms, lease agreement, paycheck stubs, and tax documents).
The following procedure describes the steps in assigning the number of lottery tickets to applicants:
1. Each applicant receives one lottery ticket as a baseline for submitting their application.
2. Each preference category is assigned additional tickets based on the weighting for that preference category.
3. Each applicant identifies which preferences apply to their household. These preferences are then used to determine how many additional lottery tickets each household will receive. The intent of the weighted number of tickets is to prioritize the selection of a household that meets most of the City Council’s priorities.
427
Item # C12.
Applicants Number of Lottery Tickets
All applicants Receive 1 lottery ticket
Milpitas residents Receive 5 additional lottery tickets Former Milpitas residents who have been displaced Receive 3 additional lottery tickets Households with children enrolled in the Milpitas

A total of 45 tickets were distributed to 7 applicants for the lottery. The selected buyer was assigned 7 lottery tickets as they are an eligible participant (1 lottery ticket), Milpitas Resident (5 additional tickets), and work in Milpitas (1 additional ticket).
As part of the sale, the homebuyer, will be required to sign the City’s Resale Restriction Agreement, Option to Purchase, and adhere to its owner-occupied requirement. The Resale Restriction will limit the appreciation in the unit and will give the City the purchase option on the unit if the unit falls into default. Staff will monitor the unit to ensure that it will continue to be the primary residence of the occupant through the required Annual Occupancy form.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Adopt a Resolution Appointing Roger Lee as Interim Public Works Director (Liz Brown, Interim Human Resources Director, 408-586-3086)
Category: Leadership and Support Services
Meeting Date: 12/6/2022
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution appointing Roger Lee as Interim Public Works Director in accordance with California Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h) and approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute, an employment agreement with Roger Lee.
BACKGROUND:
The California Public Employees Reform Act of 2013 requires a 180-day “wait” period before a retiree can return to work for a public agency, subject to exceptions that do not apply in this instance. In addition to the requirements of PEPRA, the appointment of a retiree to a vacant position must comply with Section 21221(h) of the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (“PERL”). In accordance with PERL, the appointment is permissible if it is made during the recruitment for a permanent appointment to the position and it is approved by the governing body of the employer in a public meeting. Staff has worked with the City Attorney to ensure that additional requirements, such as ones that relate to compensation and hours worked, will be met.
ANALYSIS:
On November 15, 2022, The City Council approved appointing Roger Lee as the Interim Public Works Director; however, the resolution attached to the staff report had inadvertent clerical errors. Therefore, staff is requesting that Council approve the same action with the clerical errors corrected.
Roger Lee retired from the City of Cupertino and served as Public Works Director position with more than 13 years of Public Works leadership experience in the public sector. His last day of work was December 30, 2021, thereby satisfying the statutory 180-day “wait” period. Given his Public Works background, Mr. Lee has significant experience and knowledge related to the management and operation of the Public Works Department.
Consistent with the requirements of Government Code Section 21221(h), the City has initiated a recruitment for a regular appointment to the Public Works Director vacancy. Staff recommends Mr. Lee be appointed to serve as the Interim Public Works Director pending the conclusion of the recruitment process for a regular appointment to assist in the transition of leadership in the Public Works Department. Included in the Council’s agenda packet is the required resolution to appoint a retiree pursuant to Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h) and the employment agreement.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Do not adopt the resolution appointing Roger Lee as Interim Public Works Director and do not approve and authorize the City Manager to execute, a retroactive employment agreement with Mr. Lee.
Pros: None
Cons: This will create difficulty in the smooth transition of leadership in the Public Works Department.
Reason for Not Recommending: This will create difficulty in the smooth transition of leadership in the Public Works Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
430
Item # C13.
The compensation paid to retirees cannot be less than the minimum nor exceed the maximum hourly rate paid to other employees performing comparable duties and is limited to 960 hours per fiscal year. Accordingly, the hourly rate to be paid is $86.32 or up to $120.85 per fiscal year. Funding is available from staff vacancies within the FY2022-23 adopted budget.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):
Approval of the recommendation is not an activity defined as a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(4) either because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment and/or because the action is financial and/or administrative and does not directly impact the environment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution appointing Roger Lee as Interim Public Works Director in accordance with California Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h) and approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute, an employment agreement with Roger Lee.

WHEREAS, Section 3.03 of Chapter 10 Zoning of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code, divides the City into zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is the final authority on General Plan, Specific Plan, and Zoning amendments, including amendments to the Zoning Map; and WHEREAS, the City wishes to create an appropriate safety and noise buffer between the existing R1 Single-Family Residential neighborhoods and M2 Heavy Industrial areas located south of Los Coches Street and west of Interstate 680 and the adjacent M2 Heavy Industrial area located west of South Hillview Drive; and WHEREAS, the City has prepared a Zoning Amendment (“Amendment”) to the City’s Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, on October 26, 2022, the Planning Commission of the City of Milpitas held a lawfully noticed public hearing to solicit public comment and consider the proposed Amendment, take public testimony, and make a recommendation to the City Council on the project; and WHEREAS, per Milpitas Municipal Code Section XI-10-57.02(G)(3), the City Council finds that the Zoning Amendment set forth herein to be consistent with the General Plan, and specifically with Land Use Element Policy LU 1-1 (Support a full spectrum of conveniently located residential, commercial, public, and quasi-public uses that support and enhance business development and regional transportation objectives and promote the livability of residential neighborhoods), because the Project will allow a larger variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public, and light industrial uses at the project site. The change promotes the livability of the adjacent residential neighborhood to the east because the types of uses allowed under the M1 Light Industrial Zoning District are more compatible than the uses allowed under the existing M2 Heavy Industrial Zoning Direct.
Creating a safety and noise buffer between low-density residential and heavy industrial uses will enhance the livability of the residential neighborhoods and the existing mix of uses along South Hillview Drive; and WHEREAS, per Milpitas Municipal Code Section XI-10-57.02(G)(3), the City Council finds that the Zoning Amendment set forth herein to be consistent with the General Plan, and specifically with Land Use Element Policy LU 1-7 (Recognize that the Land Use Map may be amended in accordance with State law to ensure that there is an adequate supply of commercial, business park, industrial, public facility, parks, residential, and other desired land uses to serve the City’s needs), because the Project allows a variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public, while also preserving the City’s industrial land to serve the City’s needs. The proposed zone change will allow staff to better implement City policies and actions. It will also allow the property owner/landlord a wider range or potential commercial and light industrial tenants in the existing multi-tenant buildings on the site; and
WHEREAS, per Milpitas Municipal Code Section XI-10-57.02(G)(3), the City Council finds that the Zoning Amendment set forth herein to be consistent with the General Plan, and specifically with Land Use Element Policy LU 5-6 (In existing industrial and manufacturing areas adjacent to neighborhoods and other 440

sensitive receptors, promote clean creative industrial uses that are environmentally sustainable and do not create nuisances such as noise and odors), because the Project creates an appropriate buffer between the existing LowDensity Single-Family Residential neighborhoods to the east and the Heavy Industrial zones to the south and west. Rezoning the parcels to M1 Light Industrial will allow a wider variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public, and light industrial uses that are environmentally sustainable and more compatible with the existing building sizes and site design. The M1 Light Industrial zoning designation and its allowable types of uses are more appropriate for the project site due to its proximity to sensitive receptors and the residential neighborhood; and WHEREAS, per Milpitas Municipal Code Section XI-10-57.02(G)(3), the City Council likewise finds that the Zoning Amendment set forth herein will not adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare, in that the Project, as the new zoning designation will create a safety buffer between the R1 Low-Density Single-Family Residential neighborhoods to the east and M2 Heavy Industrial areas to the west and south. Moreover, the zoning change from M2 Heavy Industrial to M1 Light Industrial will allow a wider variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public, and clean light industrial uses that are environmentally sustainable and more appropriate for the project site and the public health, safety and welfare of nearby residents, workers, and customers; and WHEREAS, this ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq., each as a separate and independent basis, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects consistent with the General Plan) and Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption); and

3 Ordinance No. XX.XXX
RECITALS AND FINDINGS:
WHEREAS, the City of Milpitas, California (the “City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65800 et seq. authorizes the adoption and administration of zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations by cities as a means of implementing the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, in 2020 the City established a Temporary Outdoor Dining Program, allowing the limited use of parking areas and other outdoor spaces on a temporary basis, to help local restaurants survive financially during the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, in July 2021 following the lifting of state and local COVID-19 health restrictions on indoor dining, and in light of interest among local restaurant owners in continuing to offer outdoor dining areas on a long-term basis, the City of Milpitas extended its temporary guidelines for outdoor dining until permanent regulations and a formal approval process for outdoor dining areas could be established; and WHEREAS, the City desires to establish new standards and regulations for the location, site design, and operation of outdoor dining areas and to provide an efficient permitting process for outdoor dining as an accessory use to restaurants and cafes; and
WHEREAS, the City has prepared a Zoning Amendment (“Amendment”) to the City’s Municipal Code, adding a new Subsection 13.19 “Outdoor Dining” under Chapter 10 “Zoning” of Title XI; and WHEREAS, on October 26, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the subject application, at which all those in attendance were given the opportunity to speak on the Zoning Text Amendment; and

(“CEQA”), each as a separate and independent basis, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (projects consistent with the General Plan) and Section 15061(b)(3) (no possibility of significant environmental effect).
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECORD AND BASIS FOR ACTION
The City Council has duly considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to such things as the City staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to the City Council. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
This ordinance is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), which exempts from CEQA any project where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. 447
Item # C15.
4 Ordinance No. XX.XXX
This ordinance would create new regulations related to outdoor dining in conjunction with restaurants and cafés (which are existing permitted uses in commercial areas under the zoning ordinance). It would enact standards for the location, siting, design, and operational elements of outdoor dining that are comparable to standards for other commercial land uses, and City staff review would be required to ensure that outdoor dining areas are appropriately designed and maintained and that they comply with all applicable requirements. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment; accordingly, this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA review.
As a separate and independent basis, this Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning). The proposed zoning amendments serve to implement several goals and policies in the Land Use and Community Design Elements by allowing safe, well-designed outdoor dining areas in appropriate locations to support Milpitas restaurants and cafes while also promoting active commercial areas. Therefore, the proposed Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and is exempt from CEQA review.
SECTION 3. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Land Use and Community Design Elements of the City’s General Plan include several policies and actions related to supporting local business development and promoting vibrant, livable commercial areas in Milpitas through land use standards and design guidelines that allow public gathering places, outdoor uses and amenities, and high-quality design in both the public and private realms. The proposed municipal code amendments would facilitate implementation of these policies by permitting and encouraging outdoor dining in well-designed and appropriately located spaces in commercial districts. Allowing high-quality outdoor dining spaces on a permanent basis would contribute to vibrant, visually appealing, and pedestrian-oriented commercial areas in Milpitas.
SECTION 4. AMENDEMENT TO MILPITAS MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE XI, CHAPTER 10 Section 13 (“Special Uses”) of Chapter 10 (“Zoning”) of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code is hereby amended to add Subsection 13.19 as follows:
XI-10-13.19 – Outdoor Dining
A. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of the outdoor dining regulations is to increase opportunities for restaurants to expand dining area into outdoor spaces, supporting local businesses and enhancing dining experience for Milpitas residents and visitors; to promote active, vibrant, pedestrian-oriented commercial districts and shopping centers; and to ensure that outdoor dining spaces are safe, well designed, and attractive.

Recommendation: (1) Receive report on bids and award a construction contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, G&G Builders Inc., in the amount of $872,059.00 for the Rehabilitation of Up to Eleven City Parks project; and (2) Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute contract change order(s) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $468,514.00 subject to appropriation of funds and find a CEQA exemption as modifications to existing facilities.
BACKGROUND:
On August 9, 2021, Council approved an allocation of $4,386,815 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for repairs and improvements to 20 of the City’s 36 parks. Of this amount, $1,116,000 has been scheduled to the repair and improvement of up to 11 parks. Additionally, on April 5, 2022, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving the application for $224,543 Per Capita Grant Funds from the State Department of Parks and Recreation. Per an allocation formula, the City will receive the funds and allocate it for the Sunnyhills Augustine Park in the amount of $224,543, which are scheduled to be used as part of the park improvements outlined in this staff report and a forthcoming construction contract bid award, which is currently in design.
Completion of up to eleven parks, including Sunnyhills Augustine, are being managed by both the Public Works and Engineering Departments. Project priorities are to complete potential health and safety repairs and improve the condition of parks in “critical” and “poor” condition in the recently adopted Park & Recreation Master Plan Update. To provide greater flexibility in project completion and ensure critical parks are completed, the project to rehabilitate 11 parks was organized with a base bid improvement of seven parks and add alternates of four parks.
Base bid parks include Sunnyhills Augustine, Memorial, Cerano, John McDermott, O’Toole Elms, Pinewood, Selwyn, and Tom Evatt. Add alternate parks include Parc Metro Central, Parc Metro East, Parc Metro West, and Sinnott.
ANALYSIS:
On October 6, 2022, the Purchasing Division released an Invitation for Bid (IFB) 23-035 for the Rehabilitation of Eleven City Parks Project (Project). The IFB was publicly noticed in accordance with the City’s municipal code and advertised on the City’s website. Email notifications were sent to companies registered with the City via OpenGov Procurement, the City’s eProcurement system and the City maintained construction contractor list. As required by State law, four local plan rooms also received notification of the release of the project on OpenGov Procurement. To comply with Federal ARPA solicitation requirements, the City also invited 43 bids from women and minority-owned construction firms identified via the U.S. Small Business Administration database at www.SBA.gov.

Item # C16.
Upon release, 921 firms received the solicitation notification, 54 firms downloaded the IFB documents, and six firms participated in the non-mandatory pre-bid meeting. The City issued one addendum to the solicitation and answered three questions submitted by interested firms.
The Purchasing Division received four bids by the November 10, 2022 deadline to respond to the IFB. After reviewing the required bid documents, G&G Builders, Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder submitting a responsive base bid. The base bid submitted for seven parks exceeded City's 2019 estimated cost of $696,885. Several factors, including the age of the estimate and pandemic related supply chain issues each contribute to higher-than-expected bids. Alternate bids to rehabilitate four parks were not part of bidder evaluation and exceeded the City's estimated cost of $355,237.
Bid Rank Contractor Base Bid Estimated Cost
1 G&G Builders Inc. $872,059.00
2 Redwood Engineering Construction $899,000.00 $696,885 3 Paulson Cox Construction Inc. $937,677.00
4 Itech Solution $966,700.00
Add alternate bid pricing from G&G Builders is as follows:
Add Alternate Park Add Alternate Bid Pricing Estimated Cost Parc Metro Central $88,700 $42,525
Parc Metro East $98,164 $28,612.50
Parc Metro West $474,200 $102,675
Sinnott $743,400 $181,425
TOTAL: $1,404,464 $355,237.50
Pricing for add alternate parks is subject to change as additional information is provided to the contractor. If changed pricing can be determined reasonable, both Parc Metro Central and Parc Metro East Parks may be improved. It is unlikely that there will be enough available funds to complete Parc Metro West and/or Sinnott Parks.
The proposed Project will at a minimum provide the seven City parks with much needed play structures and play surface repairs while updating the parks to current Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) standards. Work under the Project includes repair and/or replacement of sections of failed pour-in-place play surfaces, replacing sand with engineered wood fiber, and replacement of old playground structures.
Staff recommends the City Council award the contract for the Project to G&G Builders Inc., for the base bid amount of $872,059.00 for the rehabilitation of seven parks and authorize the City Manager to execute contract change orders (up to the scheduled ARPA and State Grant amounts) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $468,514.00 for unforeseen conditions and/or proceed with add alternates for the remaining four parks. This change order authority will allow for the more efficient administration of the improvements outlined in this Project.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Direct city staff to reject all bids and not proceed with the Project.
Pros: The City would be able to use $1,116,000.00 for other projects.
Cons: Not proceeding with the Project would defer improvements that would update the parks to current CPSI standards. City would risk losing State Grant for Sunnyhills Augustine Park.
Reason for Not Recommending: The recommendations of the CPSI consultant to make improvements to the parks identified in the project were reviewed and staff believes the Project will address the items in the report and bring the City parks listed to current safety specification.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are sufficient funds available in Capital Improvement Project No. 3500, ARPA Park Rehabilitation – DPW, for this project. As of November 28, 2022, the balance in CIP 3500 is $1,116,000. Upon future Council456 Item # C16.
action to appropriate State Grant funds and completion of improvements at Sunnyhills Augustine Park, City will receive the State Grant amount of $224,543.00. The cost to perform the rehabilitation of seven City parks through a construction contract with G&G Builders is $872,029.00. Staff also requests City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute contract change order(s) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $468,514.00 for unforeseen conditions and/or to proceed with add alternates for the remaining four parks subject to Council action to appropriate the State grant funds.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):
This Project is exempt from CEQA under Class 1 - Section 15301 - Existing Facilities because they relate to the operation, repair, maintenance or minor alterations to a public facility involving no or negligible expansion of use.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Receive report on bids and award a construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder submitting a responsive bid, G&G Builders Inc., in the amount of $872,029.00 for Rehabilitation of up to Eleven City Parks project.
2. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute contract change order(s) in an aggregate amount not-to-exceed $468,514.00 subject to appropriation of funds and find a CEQA exemption as modifications to existing facilities.

2 Ordinance No. 65.152
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the California Building Standards Commission has adopted and published an updated Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, also referred to as the 2022 California Building Standards Code, that will become effective statewide on January 1, 2023; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 establish the authority for a city to adopt and make local amendments and modifications to the building standards in the California Building Standards Code to establish more restrictive building standards than those contained in the California Building Standards Code; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 permit a city to make such local amendments and modifications as the city determines are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 require a city, before making any amendments and modifications to the California Building Standards Code, make an express finding that such amendments and modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, the City of Milpitas has reviewed and intends to adopt the 2022 California Building Standards Code and the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code and 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code.
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to amend portions of the California Building Standards Code to better address local conditions and makes express findings that such amendments are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions as set forth in this Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECORD AND BASIS FOR ACTION
The City Council has duly considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to the staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to the City Council. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The City Council hereby finds and determines that this Ordinance has been assessed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code, § 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15000 et seq.) and is categorically exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3), which exempts from CEQA any project where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Adoption of the proposed Ordinance would not be an activity with potential to cause significant effect on the environment because the changes made to the California Building Standards Code within are enacted to mitigate the threats posed to public peace, health and safety from earthquakes, storms, floods, high winds and fire, and therefore is exempt from CEQA. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance in question may have a significant effect on the environment; accordingly, the Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA.

The proposed substantive amendments to the Building Code involve the following:
(1) Automatic sprinkler systems
(2) Roofing cover requirement for hillside areas
(3) Special inspection exception
(4) Foundations and foundation reinforcement
(5) Restrict use of bracing methods
The following findings support that the above amendments and modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions:
(1) Automatic sprinkler systems
Amending the Code to remove exceptions where automatic sprinklers are not required is due to Milpitas being situated in an area of high seismic activities as indicated by the United States Geological Survey and the California Division of Mines and Geology. There is a higher level of risk for significant building damage and fire due to the higher incidence and magnitude of earthquakes in this area. Maintaining a higher level of life-safety of building occupants by providing removal of exceptions to installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems is therefore required.
(2) Roofing cover requirement for hillside areas
Amending the Code to require that the roof covering for structures in the hillside area is a minimum Class B is necessary due to the climatic conditions of the area. The hillside area has a long history of high winds, with an associated higher risk of accelerated and more significant structure damage and higher potential for related casualties.
(3) Special inspection exception
Amending the Code to require special inspection for isolated spread concrete footings of buildings of three stories or less where the structural design of the footing is based upon a specified compressive strength of concrete greater than 2,500 psi is necessary due to expansive (clay) soils and seismic activity common to this geological area.
(4) Foundations and foundation reinforcement
Amending the Code to require all new foundations for building additions to R-3 occupancies shall be of the same type of foundation system as the existing structure, unless foundation design recommendation from a soils engineer is provided, and the foundation system is designed, and plans, calculations, and specifications are prepared, stamped and signed, by a California licensed engineer or architect, is necessary due to expansive (clay) soils and seismic activity common to this geological area. (5) Restrict use of bracing methods
Amending the Code Table 2308.6.1 with added footnotes f and g to prohibit the use of bracing methods PBS, HPS, and SFB in seismic design categories D or E, and prohibit the use of bracing methods GB, DWB and PCP in seismic design category E due to their poor performance in earthquakes. Milpitas is in seismic design category D2 with potential for frequent and more intense seismic activity 469
Item # 17.
10 Ordinance No. 65.152
Chapter 3.5 – RESIDENTIAL CODE
The proposed substantive amendments to the Residential Code involve the following:
(1) Roofing cover requirement for hillside areas
(2) Restrict use of bracing methods
(3) Foundations and foundation reinforcement
The following findings support that the above amendments and modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions:
(1) Roofing cover requirement for hillside areas
Amending the Code to require that the roof covering for structures in the hillside area is a minimum Class B is necessary due to the climatic conditions of the area. The hillside area has a long history of high winds, with an associated higher risk of accelerated and more significant structure damage and higher potential for related casualties.
(2) Restrict use of bracing methods
Amending the Code Table R602.10.3(3) and adding footnotes I and j to restrict the use of bracing methods PBS, HPS, SFB, CS-SFB, GB, DWB and PCP in Seismic Design Categories D0, D1 and D2 due to their poor performance in earthquakes. Milpitas is in seismic design category D2. (3) Foundations and foundation reinforcement
Amending the Code to require all new foundations for building additions to R-3 occupancies shall be of the same type of foundation system as the existing structure, unless foundation design recommendation from a soils engineer is provided, and the foundation system is designed, and plans, calculations, and specifications are prepared, stamped and signed, by a California licensed engineer or architect, is necessary due to expansive (clay) soils and seismic activity common to this geological area.
Chapter 6 – ELECTRICAL CODE
The proposed substantive amendments to the Electrical Code involve the following:
(1) Requirement for all new electrical services to be underground (2) Disconnects of electrical power for each building to be in a readily accessible location on the first floor
(3) Grounding systems in new buildings shall be an electrode encased in concrete The following findings support that the above amendments and modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions:
(1) Requirement for all new electrical services to be underground Buildings in many areas of Milpitas are located in high wind areas and flood plains. Due to these local climatic conditions, amending the Code to provide for elimination of overhead services that are inherently less safe in the event of windstorms and floods will provide a higher level of safety. (2) Disconnects of electrical power for each building to be in a readily accessible location on the first floor 470
Item # 17.
11 Ordinance No. 65.152
Amending the Code provides for a quicker means of finding the location of the main power disconnects to buildings in the event of seismic events and related potential for fire and other emergencies. This is critical as Milpitas is located in in an area of high seismic activities. (3) Grounding systems in new buildings shall be an electrode encased in concrete Amending the Code allows significantly higher assurances that the grounding of the building electrical system will not deteriorate and fail due to the acidic and expansive properties of local soils. Other types of grounding, such as rods, will be subject to deterioration in local soils, whereas an encased electrode will not be in contact with the soils.
Providing equipment grounding conductors enhances capability of keeping electrical systems grounded, which is important in high amperage electrical services common to the City of Milpitas. 471

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Introduce Ordinance No. 65.152 Relating to Adopting by Reference the 2022 California Building Codes with Amendments and Set a Public Hearing on December 6, 2022 for Adoption of the Ordinance (Staff Contact: Bill Tott, Building Official, 408-586-3263)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 10/18/2022
Recommendation: (1) Following the City Attorney’s reading of the title, move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce Ordinance No. 65.152 amending Chapters 3,
3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10,14,150, and 170 of Title II of the Milpitas Municipal Code relating to adopting by reference the 2022 California Building Code, 2022 California Residential Code, 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, 2022 California Mechanical Code, 2022 California Electrical Code, 2022 California Plumbing Code, 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, 2022 California Existing Building Code, and 2022 California Historical Building Code, with amendments; and (2) Set a public hearing on December 6, 2022, pursuant to California Government Code Section 50022.3, for adoption of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, also referred to as the California Building Standards Code, governs the design and construction of buildings and associated facilities and equipment throughout California.
It is updated and published on a triennial basis by the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) by order of the California legislature. Each code cycle update improves safety, sustainability, and resiliency, and incorporates new technology, design, and construction methods. Throughout each code adoption cycle, amendments to the codes are developed through an extensive public participation process. In July 2022, the CBSC published the 2022 edition of the California Building Standards Code, making this year a code adoption year. The building regulations in the California Building Standards Code have the same force of law and take effect 180 days after their publication. On January 1, 2023, the 2022 California Building Standards Code will become effective statewide. This 2022 Code has prompted jurisdictions statewide to adopt the new code and complete local amendments as necessary. In accordance with California Health and Safety Code, a city may establish more restrictive building standards than those in the California Building Standards Code if the city makes an express finding that each amendment is reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.
ANALYSIS:
As part of the triennial code adoption cycle, and pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958 and 18941.5, staff recommends that the City of Milpitas adopt the 2022 California Building Standards Code.
The parts of the 2022 California Building Standards Code that are included in this proposed adoption ordinance are: The California Building Code, Residential Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code, Existing Building Code, and Historical Building Code. Staff also proposes several local amendments be adopted as part of the code adoption. The amendments along with the findings that support them are included in the proposed ordinance. If approved, the Building Official will file a copy of this ordinance with the California Building Standards Commission. The 2022 California Building Code is adopted by reference, with amendments. Close examination of the current and prior California Building Code and Municipal Code was performed. The Residential Code was adopted and amended in a similar way as the Building Code. Same was done with the Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Existing Building, and Historical Building Codes. In addition to the California codes, the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) and the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) are included. The 2019 ISPSC and IPMC were previously adopted and will be replaced by the 2022 versions. The California Energy Code and Green Building Standards Code are 472 Item # 17.
being adopted under separate ordinances which were established in the previous code adoption cycle due to the introduction of “reach code” amendments as part of the adoption of these codes. Adoption of the new 2022 codes will ensure that buildings and structures in Milpitas will safeguard the health, safety, and general welfare of the public. Staff recommends that the Council introduce the proposed ordinance adopting the new codes with amendments and set a public hearing on December 6, 2022. This timeline will allow notice of the public hearing to be published once a week for two successive weeks pursuant to Government Code Section 6066.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative : Adopt the new codes with modifications to the amendments and / or include only a portion of the amendments.
Pros: Would provide a limited increase over the baseline minimum safety standards.
Cons: Would not give full consideration for local conditions in Milpitas.
Reason for Not Recommending: Would not provide the complete code adoption with amendments to address local conditions in Milpitas.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to the City other than administrative staff time and expense. Staff training on the new codes is needed and has been planned for in the budget. Training has begun and will be ongoing.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):
The action being considered has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
RECOMMENDATION:
Following the City Attorney’s reading of the title, move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce Ordinance No. 65.152 amending Chapters 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, and 150 of Title II of the Milpitas Municipal Code relating to Code Administration; adopting by reference the 2022 California Building Code, 2022 California Residential Code, 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, 2022 California Mechanical Code, 2022 California Electrical Code, 2022 California Plumbing Code, 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, 2022 California Existing Building Code, and 2022 California Historical Building Code, with amendments. Set a public hearing on December 6, 2022, pursuant to California Government Code Section 50022.3, for adoption of the Ordinance.

Meeting Date: 12/6/2022
Recommendation: (1) Open the public hearing, hear testimony, then move to close the public hearing; (2) Waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 65.153 amending Chapter 11 of Title II of the Milpitas Municipal Code adopting by reference the 2022 California Energy Code; and (3) Waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No.
65.154 amending Chapter 19 of Title II of the Milpitas Municipal Code adopting by reference the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code with amendments and find a CEQA exemption.
BACKGROUND:
On October 18, 2022, the Council introduced Ordinances No. 65.153 and No. 65.154 and set a public hearing on December 6, 2022 for adoption of the ordinances pursuant to Government Code Section 50022.3. Notice of the public hearing was published on October 4 and October 11, 2022 pursuant to Government Code Section 6066.
There were no changes to the Ordinances from the first reading; the Ordinances are now ready for their second reading and adoption. However, during the discussion with Council regarding certain aspects of the proposed ordinances, four specific concerns were brought forward: 1. What is the impact on the grid from requiring new development to be all-electric? 2. What are the economic impacts on the housing market from the all-electric reach code? 3. Why should the City require affordable multifamily housing to install EV infrastructure when it is perceived by some that most of the residents can’t afford an EV? 4. Potential lack of availability of rebates for electric vehicles. Response to these concerns will be given in the following analysis portion of the AR.
Council also asked if a P.G.& E. representative could be invited to attend the December 6th Council meeting.
On November 8, 2022 the City Manager extended the invitation to P.G.& E. representatives to speak at the December 6th Council Meeting to share P.G.& E.’s perspective and plans supporting neighborhood electrification, share an update on what P.G.& E. is doing / planning to do to improve long term electrical grid capacity and grid reliability for our customers, and address and provide an update on P.G.& E.’s near term efforts to improve electrical infrastructure reliability for an area of Milpitas that has been experiencing frequent outages. P.G.&E. representatives confirmed that they will be attending the December 6, 2022 Council Meeting to provide the requested information.
The City of Milpitas is participating in the Silicon Valley Clean Energy reach code grant offering, which will provide $10,000 to the City for presenting reach codes to the City Council for consideration. After Council introduced the ordinances on October 18, 2022 staff submitted the request for the $10,000 Reach Code Grant.
Please see Attachment C for the SVCE Letter of Interest and the City’s request for payment of the $10,000 grant.
ANALYSIS:
Response to the three main concerns raised by Council members at the first reading on October 18, 2022:
1. What is the impact on the grid from requiring new development to be all-electric? 474
Item # 18.
California's power grid needs improvement and State agencies have ordered significant upgrades to the electrical supply grid to be built without delay. Battery storage, which is needed to bridge over times of peak demand, is rapidly expanding. Over 3,000 MW of battery power was active during the September heat wave and was key in avoiding rolling blackouts. The State forecasts only ~1% growth in load per year which can be easily managed. Looking at it from a long term perspective, many of the major stresses on the grid are caused by the very thing electrification will help stop: the use of fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels has greatly accelerated global warming which is a significant cause of grid alerts from overheated electrical infrastructure. The allelectric reach codes for new construction together with solar PV with battery backup will lessen peak demand at critical times of the day when the use of electricity is highest, which will significantly lessen the impact on the grid.
2. What are the economic impacts on the housing market from the all-electric reach code? In Climate Zone 4 which includes Milpitas, constructing an average size all-electric single-family home is generally about $6,000 less to construct than building a mixed-fuel home. Most of the savings come from not having to install gas infrastructure. This is also true for all-electric Multifamily Midrise, Medium Offices, Medium Retail and Small Hotel occupancies, as represented in the table below where the benefit/cost ratios for all of these occupancies is 1 or greater which indicates cost-effectiveness based on studies completed in 2019 and 2022. See Attachment D for links to these studies.

Medium Retail 2019 >1 $22,676 $23,087
Small Hotel 2019 >1 $1,246,730 $1,311,651
Notes:
1. This ratio is used by the CEC to determine cost-effectiveness. A ratio of 1.0 or greater indicates cost-effectiveness.
2. Net present value is based on a 30-year timeline and includes costs for construction, maintenance, equipment replacement, and operation.
3. Why should the City require affordable multifamily housing to install EV chargers when it is perceived by some that most of the residents can’t afford an EV? One aspect of the proposed reach code is that it does increase construction costs for the installation of EV infrastructure in multifamily projects with shared parking. To counter this SVCE will provide a subsidy to offset this cost for low-income and very low-income developments built during this building code cycle. Regarding the cost of an EV, even though the initial cost is more, the overall 5-year cost of ownership is often less, especially given the high cost of gas and maintenance for an internal combustion engine car. Another consideration in response to the question is that multi-family buildings generally have a life of at least 50 years, and now that California law specifies that nearly all new vehicles sold in 2035 (just 13 years away) will be electric, we need to look at the long term value of installing EV infrastructure now during new construction and not later when it will be significantly more expensive to retrofit while inconveniencing the occupants. Residents, even lower income residents, will be predominantly driving EVs for the majority of the life of the building. Charging at your residence is preferred and much more convenient than charging at offsite locations. That’s why adding EV chargers during initial construction, whether for lower income residents or others when the costs are minimal, 475 Item # 18.
is optimal. EV Charging infrastructure at multi-family properties is severely trailing and many renters cite lack of access to charging as a reason for not buying an EV. This requirement aims to address this equity issue and increase access to EV charges for renters and multi-family occupants.
For the proposed Milpitas EV reach code, the table below show that costs for new construction are significantly lower, at almost four times less per spot compared to the retrofit scenario, for both market rate and affordable housing. An office building scenario is also included to provide comparison for a non-residential project. This table indicates that increasing code requirements for charging infrastructure could potentially save significant amounts of money to building owners in the new construction context rather than waiting for tenants to become interested in electric vehicles, at which point significant costs related to invasive demolition and electrical infrastructure replacement would be necessary.

2. “New Construction" and “Retrofit” costs are relative to a CALGreen 2019 mandatory baseline building
4. What incentives are available for electric vehicles? There are multiple financial incentives available for electric vehicles. The California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project offers incentives for the purchase or lease of qualified vehicles, and low-income applicants are eligible for higher incentives. These incentives range from $1,000 to $7,000 depending on vehicle type, location, and applicant income. Staff have confirmed that this program is still accepting rebate applications. Additionally, qualified electric vehicle purchases may be eligible for a federal tax credit through the Clean Vehicle Credit program. The minimum credit amount is $2,500 and the maximum credit amount is $7,500 for electric vehicles that meet the new requirement for final assembly in North America. SVCE’s EV Assistant tool can provide a personalized list of incentives for individuals shopping for EVs. Electric vehicle drivers also benefit from lower operating and maintenance costs as all-electric cars do not require as much maintenance as internal combustion engines and it is cheaper to charge an electric vehicle compared to raising gas prices.
The proposed reach codes are largely based on the model codes developed by Silicon Valley Clean Energy which have been vetted through considerable research and public review. Staff also incorporated adjustments to the proposed model reach codes as a result of stakeholder input from the Milpitas community. The proposed reach codes for Milpitas provide pathways / options that offer a more aggressive but balanced approach to newly constructed residential and non-residential projects for electrification and EV charging infrastructure in response to State mandates for greenhouse gas emission reductions and carbon free electricity.
Given that building emissions of GHG account for approximately 35-40% of total GHG emissions, and transportation accounts for 50% of all GHG, the need for all-electric standards for new construction and enhanced EV charging infrastructure is compelling. Elimination of natural gas usage through the use of allelectric standards for new construction would greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions at an accelerated rate through the adoption of the reach codes.
FISCAL IMPACT: 476
Item # 18.
There is no cost to the City other than administrative staff time and expense. The City of Milpitas is participating in the Silicon Valley Clean Energy reach code grant offering, which will provide $10,000 to the City for presenting reach codes to the City Council for consideration.

The following findings support that the above amendments and modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions:
Express Findings – Climatic
The effects of climate change caused by Green House Gas (GHG) emissions are increasingly self-evident, and very costly. Higher temperatures are contributing to record heat waves and droughts, rising sea levels, more intense storms, wildfires and floods.
Climate change is the fundamental design problem of our time. The threat that climate change poses is existential, and buildings together with transportation are large contributors.
Amending all of the above referenced code sections is necessary to combat the ever-increasing harmful effects of climate change. Implementation of the proposed reach code amendments will provide an accelerated path to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and carbonization in an effort to stem the effects of global warming and climate change.

Re: SVCE Letter of Interest (LOI) for $10,000 Reach Code Grant Dear Mr. McHarris,
SVCE partnered with our member jurisdictions in 2019 to facilitate the adoption of amendments to the Building Code that encouraged allelectric buildings and/or expanded electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure during the new construction process. Milpitas adopted a reach code promoting building electrification and EV charging. For the 2022 code cycle, Milpitas has the opportunity to readopt the reach code, to extend its scope to all-electric requirements, to increase EV charging requirements, or to adopt a municipal ordinance.
SVCE has hired a consultant to provide technical support, draft model language, and facilitate stakeholder engagement. In recognition of the required staff resources, SVCE will also provide a $10,000 grant to jurisdictions that bring code(s) to a vote. SVCE staff will work with your staff to determine your preferred approach.
Our organization requests the signature and return of this letter indicating your likely interest in receiving $10,000 from SVCE to help defray costs associated with developing or readopting code amendments (“reach code”) that support building electrification and EV charging. The $10,000 grant will be provided to jurisdictions completing the following three steps:
• Return this signed Letter of Interest (LOI) to SVCE by April 30, 2022
• City staff to present valid amendments to the 2022 California Building Standards Code (Title 24) or to the municipal code that exceed statewide minimum requirements for building
electrification and/or EV infrastructure for a vote of their respective city council (typically August–October)
• City staff complete the Payment Request document (to be released shortly) and return to SVCE by November 30, 2022 – regardless of Council vote.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Introduce Ordinance No. 65.153 Adopting by Reference the 2022 California Energy Code; introduce Ordinance No. 65.154 Adopting by Reference the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code with Amendments; Set a Public Hearing on December 6, 2022 for Adoption of the Ordinances (Staff Contact: Bill Tott, Building Official, 408-586-3263)
Category: Community Development
Meeting Date: 10/18/2022
Recommendation: (1) Following the City Attorney’s reading of the title, move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce Ordinance No. 65.153 amending Chapter 11 of Title II of the Milpitas Municipal Code adopting by reference the 2022 California Energy Code; (2) Following the City Attorney’s reading of the title, move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce Ordinance No. 65.154 amending Chapter 19 of Title II of the Milpitas Municipal Code adopting by reference the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code with amendments; and (3) Set a public hearing on December 6, 2022, pursuant to California Government Code Section 50022.3, for adoption of the ordinances.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff recommends adopting the 2022 California Energy Code and the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code pertaining to all-electric requirement for newly constructed buildings, and electric vehicle (EV) charging for new residential and non-residential construction. These local amendments, referred to as reach codes, would exceed the requirements in the 2022 state codes to more effectively combat climate change and meet established state targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The proposed reach codes for Milpitas were largely based on the model code amendment initiated by Silicon Valley Clean Energy with adjustments incorporated as a result of outreach and stakeholder input from the Milpitas community. Adopting the proposed reach codes will help reduce GHG emissions for new construction, improve indoor air quality and the safety of our building stock, support affordable housing, and stimulate the use of electric vehicles in the Milpitas community. Adopting reach codes for all-electric new construction and increased EV charging station standards align with Milpitas Climate Action Plan initiatives BE-2.1.1 and TR-2.1.2 for electrification and EV charging.
In order to make amendments to the California Building Standards Code, of which the Green Building Standards Code ( CalGreen) is a part of, the City must make express findings that the amendments and modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.
These findings are contained in the proposed ordinance.
This report provides an overview of 1) the reach code adoption process; 2) proposed Milpitas reach code amendments to the 2022 Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) for the triennial code adoption cycle; 3) benefits of the reach code amendments; 4) regional reach code focus and local engagement efforts; 5) benefits to low-income communities
BACKGROUND:
Every three years, the State of California adopts new building standards that are organized in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, referred to as the California Building Standards Code. This regular update is referred to as a “code cycle.” The last code cycle was adopted in 2019 and was effective on January 1, 2020.
The next code cycle will be adopted in 2022 and will be effective January 1, 2023. Cities and counties have the authority to adopt local amendments (reach codes) that require new development projects to exceed minimum 497
Item # 18.
requirements in the California Energy Code and California Green Building Standards Code (also known as CALGreen).
The City of Milpitas has demonstrated leadership in sustainability, especially over the past ten years in which the City installed solar photovoltaic panels at four City facilities including the Sports Center and more recently in conjunction with shade structures in parking areas adjacent to the Senior Center; and installed 12 EV charging stations for fleet vehicles at City Hall. Milpitas also adopted its first Climate Action Plan (CAP) for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), initially through 2020 which has now been updated to 2040. In 2018 Milpitas also launched a community scale carbon-free electricity endeavor through participation in the Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) program to provide decarbonized electricity sourced from providers of solar photovoltaic, wind, and hydro generated power.
Through the SVCE community choice energy provider of carbon-free electricity (with opt-up to 100% renewable electricity), almost 100% of Milpitas resident and businesses now enjoy receiving carbon-free electricity and millions in savings in on-bill charges while significantly reducing GHG emissions. Even though these savings and reductions in GHG emissions represent significant actions, more needs to be done to minimize climate change and meet State established GHG reduction targets.
The State target was set by Governor Brown’s Executive Order EO B-55-18, signed on September 10, 2018, which establishes the goal for the state to be carbon neutral as soon as possible, and no later than 2045.
Based on the City’s Climate Action Plan and State goals to reduce GHG emissions, all-electric requirements for new buildings and electrification retrofits will be necessary and ultimately required for renovation of existing buildings constructed under current standards. Addressing electrification now in new buildings avoids hardships for tenants and retrofit costs for building owners in the future and acknowledges the GHG impacts under current construction practices, especially when considering the benefits of building and transportation electrification when paired with carbon-free electricity that is provided by SVCE.
The City of Milpitas is participating in the Silicon Valley Clean Energy reach code grant offering, which will provide $10,000 to the City for presenting reach codes to the City Council for consideration. Please see Attachment C for the SVCE Letter of Interest for the $10,000 grant.
ANALYSIS:
A. Energy Code
Given that the 2022 proposed Milpitas reach codes are not considered as “energy efficiency” code requirements as they do not include energy conservation such as photovoltaics (PV), or energy storage and are for all-electric for newly constructed buildings and not electric readiness, the proposed Milpitas reach codes will only be referencing the Green Building Standards Code (CalGreen).
For purposes of energy efficiency standards, the California Energy Commission (CEC) will continue to adopt those standards for the Energy Code, whereas in the CalGreen code under Residential and Nonresidential Mandatory Measures, Divisions 4.1 and 5.1 for Planning and Design, measures such as allelectric requirements can reside in these sections as all-electric requirements for newly constructed buildings are not considered energy efficiency requirements.
Similarly, EV charging requirements have resided in CalGreen since the advent of this code for the same reason. In other words, EV charging infrastructure requirements are also not considered as energy efficiency requirements.
The upcoming 2022 California Energy Code has greatly enhanced the standards for new construction electrical readiness for heat pumps, cooktops, and clothes dryers. energy storage, and solar photovoltaic (PV) infrastructure, including base line requirements for the use of heat pumps. These new standards mirror the main electric readiness requirements of the Milpitas 2019 reach codes, providing a high level of continuity as these electric readiness standards perpetuate. 498
Item # 18.
The proposed reach code is largely based on the model code amendment developed by Silicon Valley Clean Energy, which has been vetted through considerable research and public review. Staff also incorporated adjustments in the proposed model reach code as a result of stakeholder input from the Milpitas community. The proposed reach codes for Milpitas provide pathways / options that offer a balanced approach to new residential and non-residential construction.
B. Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen)
It is widely known that availability of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is a critical component to EV adoption. Retrofitting existing buildings with EV charging infrastructure is significantly more expensive than it is during new construction.
EV reach codes will ensure that newly constructed buildings have ample EV charging capability to reduce long term costs of EV infrastructure installation while helping to increase EV adoption and decrease transportation related GHG emissions which account for approximately 50% of total GHG emissions.
The proposed reach code amendments will provide a higher percentage of charging infrastructure in new construction through a combination of Level 1 and Level 2 circuits with varying readiness.
Here is a Summary of the proposed reach code amendments to the Green Building Standards Code:
Section 202
Definitions added such as for Automatic Load Management (ALMS) and All-Electric Building Section 4.106.4 through 4.106.4.3 through 5.106.5.3.3
Increases EV charging infrastructure requirements for single family, duplex, townhouse, and multi-family occupancies
Add Section 4.106.5 and 4.106.5.1 to Site Development.
Provides the requirement for all-electric new residential construction Add Section 5.106.5.3 through 5.106.5.3.3
Increases EV charging infrastructure requirements for new office and other non-residential buildings Add Section 5.106.5.3.5
Provides clean air vehicle parking designation for EVCS as designated parking Add Section 5.106.13 and Section 5.106.13.1 to Site Development.
Provides for all-electric new nonresidential construction Costs/Benefits of Proposed Amendments
A. Statewide Cost-Effectiveness Study
Funded by California Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) such as Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), the California Statewide Codes and Standards Program (Statewide Program) and Energy Solutions completed cost-effectiveness studies for new residential and non-residential construction, for use in the current building code cycle. The proposed Milpitas reach codes are based on data in these studies, specific to Climate Zone 4, for cost effectiveness. For EV infrastructure go to Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Cost Analysis. For new residential and non-residential all-electric cost-effectiveness studies go to; Low-rise Residential, Mid-rise Residential, High-rise Residential, Non-Residential. 499
Item # 18.
B. Project Feasibility
While the environmental benefits of reach codes for all-electric and EV charging have been welldocumented, there have been concerns expressed by the development community on the financial impact on project feasibility due to increased construction costs associated with reach codes.
According to the cost-effectiveness studies noted in the previous section, all-electric buildings offer savings on “first” construction costs for all building types when compared to mixed fuel buildings in all 16 California climate zones. Similarly, the cost-effectiveness studies for EV charging infrastructure show that “first” construction costs compared to the cost to retrofit buildings for EV infrastructure are significantly less and do not impact or inconvenience residents.
C. Building Electrification
Given that building emissions of GHG account for approximately 35-40% of total GHG emissions, and transportation accounts for 50% of all GHG, the need for all-electric standards for new construction and enhanced EV charging infrastructure is compelling. Elimination of natural gas usage through the use of allelectric standards for new construction would greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions at an accelerated rate through the adoption of the reach codes
Other benefits of all-electric standards include on-bill savings for Milpitas SVCE customers, cleaner, heathier indoor air quality, and greater safety due to the elimination of toxic and potentially lethal products of gas combustion such as carbon monoxide. For these reasons, there is considerable interest in promoting higher levels of all-electric new construction.
SVCE has taken the lead in Santa Clara County for researching and developing prototype standards for reach codes. Staff have worked closely with SVCE and its consultants to interpret and apply the 2022 costeffectiveness studies for all-electric residential and nonresidential new construction to the Milpitas reach code.
This does not apply to single-family homes.
Staff have also worked with SVCE and the Statewide Program’s team to establish new construction EV requirements which are more in-line with local EV adoption trends, while providing flexibility for the developer and keeping construction costs as low as possible.
Note that while construction costs will be incurred, there are numerous utility, state and federal incentive programs available to offset or reduce “first” costs for all-electric standards and EV charging infrastructure.
One such program is P.G.& E’s Electric Infrastructure Rule 29. Under this rule, P.G.& E. will pay for and coordinate the design and deployment of electric service extensions from P.G.&E. electrical distribution line facilities to the service delivery point for separately metered EV charging stations. P Local residents are showing a significant interest in electric vehicles. According to the Bay Area Air Quality Management 2022 Climate! Program, at the end of 2021, there were more than 266,000 EVs registered to Bay Area drivers.
Recent data compiled through surveys of potential electric vehicle customers and other sources indicates that the availability of EV charging infrastructure is a critical component to EV adoption. It is significantly more expensive to install charging infrastructure as a retrofit than during new construction. As such, ensuring that newly constructed residential and non-residential parking has ample EV charging capability will reduce long-term costs of EV infrastructure installation, while helping to increase EV adoption and decrease transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions.
While California’s new minimum requirements are a step forward, it is unlikely that the requirements for multi-family dwellings and non-residential buildings are enough to keep pace with expected EV growth looking towards 2030. The Statewide Program’s team reviewed approaches to increase the amount of EV infrastructure in new construction, while keeping construction costs as low as possible.
E. Low-Income Communities 500
Item # 18.
A recent study by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) scientists shows that low-income communities are disproportionally affected by air pollution. It is imperative that clean fuel options such as electricity produced using solar, wind and hydro power are incorporated into Milpitas’ low-income housing community to promote reduction of indoor and outdoor air pollution.
EV charging requirements have been perceived by some to be incongruent with low-income housing needs, however, recent studies suggest otherwise. EVs and hybrids are becoming more affordable and their fuel costs are considerably lower than fossil fuel powered vehicles.
There are many incentives available for California buyers such as; The Clean Vehicle Rebate Program, which provides rebates from $1,000 to $7,000 for the purchase or lease of new zero-emission vehicles (ZEV). These can include electric, plugin-hybrid electric and fuel cell vehicles. Since 2010, the program has issued more than 450,000 rebates totaling more than $1 billion, which accounts for nearly 43 percent of light-duty ZEVs sold in the state, say officials.
The Clean Vehicle Assistance Program provides low-interest loans, vehicle purchase grants and vehicle charging incentives for income-qualified car owners. More than 80 percent of participants have a household income at or below federal poverty level.
Another program, which is led by California’s Air Resources Board (CARB), is the Clean Cars 4 All, which provides vouchers to income-qualified participants to be used toward the purchase or lease of a new or used ZEV or hybrid in exchange for scrapping an older gas-burning car. The program also has incentives for transit passes and micromobility.
The California Clean Fuel Reward Program is a time-of-sale program, also funded by CARB, and administered by Southern California Edison. This program can be included in the financing, which makes it very easy for dealers to apply, and gives immediate gratification to the customer.
The Clean Fuel Reward Program was initially offered as an instant “on-the-hood” rebate. By the end of 2021 nearly 200,000 customers had received this rebate, and 21 percent of the customers were in underserved communities, and 72 percent of customers replaced an internal combustion engine vehicle.
For these reasons, accelerating the rate of EV charging access infrastructure through the proposed Milpitas reach codes is just as relevant if not more critical to low-income below market rate housing as market-based or commercial projects.
Reach Code Efforts in Other Jurisdictions
Current regional reach code efforts are focused on new residential and non-residential construction and electric vehicle infrastructure (EVCI), to incentivize or require the following:
o All-electric buildings for new construction
o Mixed fuel (e.g. natural gas and electric) buildings, including electrification readiness o Additional EVCI requirements for all building types to further prepare for current and future anticipated electric vehicle (EV) uptake.
According to the CEC, over 55 Bay Area cities and Counties have adopted or are considering reach codes, with a focus on requiring all-electric requirements for new buildings and EV charging infrastructure for implementation in the 2022 building code cycle. Bay area jurisdictions include the following:
o 8 in Alameda County
o 24 in San Mateo County
o 16 in Santa Clara County
o 7 in Sonoma County
501
Item # 18.
Milpitas Public Outreach
A. Comments at Community Meetings
Staff conducted a series of outreach and engagement meetings with stakeholders and community members on the proposed reach codes. These include the August 15 Community Development Roundtable initial discussion, September 14 Stakeholder Workshop, and presentation to the Energy and Environmental Sustainability Commission on October 19.
The feedback from the outreach meetings was supportive ,and Milpitas residents acknowledged the growing climate change crisis and applauded the City’s reach code efforts.
B. Other Stakeholder Comments
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has repeatedly stated its commitment to helping communities achieve their energy goals and efforts to promote efficient and cost-effective electrification in new construction.
Effective Date of Code Amendments
The Green Building Standards Code ( CalGreen) amendments pertaining to all-electric requirements for new residential and non-residential building construction and EV charging infrastructure, if adopted by the City Council on December 6, 2022, would then be filed with the California Building Standards Commission (BSC) for ministerial review and documentation. Once the letter of acknowledgement and approval is received, the reach code amendments would then become effective on January 1, 2023.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Adopt the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code as written without local amendments (reach codes).
Pros: No additional work is needed. The section for amendments would be removed from the Ordinance.
Cons: Without reach codes, it would be increasingly difficult to achieve some of the established goals in the Milpitas Climate Action Plan. Also, the opportunity to join with other local jurisdictions in the efforts to accelerate code requirements to achieve the state mandated goals for greenhouse gas emission reductions by 2020, 2030, and 2045, would be a lost opportunity. Instituting all-electric for new construction and electric vehicle charging requirements with this code cycle will have lasting impacts as buildings constructed under this code cycle will have significant carbon reductions for the 30-40 year life span of the buildings. An added benefit to enacting the reach codes now is the avoidance of the higher costs to retrofit buildings later, and the inconvenience to tenants.
Reason for Not Recommending: This alternative is not recommended because of the loss of opportunity to increase the City’s efforts toward achieving a higher, earlier use of renewable energy, the reduction of GHG emissions, and achieving Milpitas Climate Action Plan milestones.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to the City other than administrative staff time and expense.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):
The action being considered has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
RECOMMENDATION:
(1) Following the City Attorney’s reading of the title, move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce Ordinance No. 65.153 amending Chapter 11 of Title II of the Milpitas Municipal Code adopting by reference the 2022 California Energy Code; (2) Following the City Attorney’s reading of the title, move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce Ordinance No. 65.154 amending Chapter 19 of Title II of the 502 Item # 18.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Conduct a Public Hearing. Waive the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance No. 133.26, Adopting by Reference with Certain Local Amendments the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code (Staff Contact: Arthur Belton, Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal, 408-586-3384)
Category: Public Hearings-Public Safety
Meeting Date: 12/6/2022
Recommendation: (1) Following the City Attorney reading aloud the title, waive the second reading beyond the title of Ordinance No. 113.26; (2) Open the public hearing and move to close following comments; and (3) Adopt Ordinance No. 113.26 adopting by reference with certain local amendments the 2022 edition of the California Fire Code, enacted as Chapter 300, Title V of the Milpitas Municipal Code.
BACKGROUND:
The California State Building Standards Commission adopted the 2021 International Fire Code with State Amendments, known as the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code, which becomes effective by all local jurisdictions on January 1, 2023. For jurisdictions to maintain their current level of regulation without interruption, the code must be adopted with local amendments. As with past code adoptions, the Santa Clara County Fire Marshals Association collaborated to develop standardized amendments for use throughout the County that maintain the existing level of regulation for the protection of public health and safety The proposed Ordinance includes certain findings necessary to locally amend portions of the California Fire Code. Such findings shall be based on but not limited to Health and Safety Code Sections 18941.5, as well as 17958.5 and 17958.7, relative to local climatic, geographical, or topographical conditions.
Ordinance No. 113.26 was introduced at its first reading during the City Council Meeting on October 18, 2022.
The Ordinance repeals and replaces Chapter 300 of Title V of the Milpitas Municipal Code, adopting by reference the 2022 California Fire Code along with specified local amendments.
The City Council did not request any changes to the Ordinance and directed staff to notice a public hearing for this meeting at the first reading.
ANALYSIS:
The California Fire Code and local amendments are typically adopted every three years. The 2019 Edition of the California Fire Code with certain local amendments was adopted by the Milpitas City Council on December 3, 2019 and became effective January 1, 2020.
The California Fire Code is Part 9 of 13 parts of the official compilation and publication of adoptions, amendment, and repeal of building regulations to the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 which is also referred to as the California Building Standards Code. The California Building Standards Code incorporates by adoption the 2021 International Fire Code of the International Code Council with necessary California Amendments.
The purpose of the California Fire Code is to establish the minimum requirements consistent with nationally recognized best practices to safeguard public health, safety and general welfare from the hazards of fire, 504
Item # 19.
explosion or dangerous conditions in new and existing buildings, structures, and premises, and to provide safety and assistance to fire fighters and emergency responders during emergency operations.
The provisions of the California Fire Code shall apply to the construction, alterations, movement, enlargement, replacement, repair, equipment, use and occupancy, location, maintenance, removal and demolition of every building or structure or any appurtenances connected or attached to such building structures throughout the State of California.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Do Not Adopt Certain Local Amendments for the 2022 California Fire Code Pros: None
Cons: Not adopting certain local amendments in conjunction with the 2022 California Fire Code, does not address some of the unique concerns and nuances relative to the residential, commercial, and industrial communities within the City of Milpitas.
Reason for Not Recommending: To further save lives and preserve property, as well as ensuring the highest level of public safety for the community of Milpitas, local amendments must be addressed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Section 66014 of the California Government Code as referenced in the Health & Safety Code Section 13146, as well as the 2022 California Fire Code Sections 1.11.2.1.1, and Section 106.2, allows fire departments to charge fees for permit, inspection, and enforcement activities. The recently adopted City of Milpitas Master Fee Schedule that became effective on July 1, 2022, aligns with the above Code Sections.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):
The action being considered has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) RECOMMENDATION:

Ordinance No. 113.25
2 RECITALS AND FINDINGS:
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Milpitas intends to adopt by reference into the Milpitas Municipal Code the 2022 California Fire Code; and
WHEREAS, in doing so, the City Council wishes to amend portions of the California Fire Code to better address local concerns and to be consistent with amendments made by the other jurisdictions in Santa Clara County as well as neighboring counties in the Bay Area
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5, 17958.7, and 18941.5 require such amendments to be reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and WHEREAS, the City Council hereby makes the following findings with respect to the amendments to the 2022 California Fire Code:
A. The local climatic conditions of the City of Milpitas can affect the acceleration, intensity, and size of fires.
Average annual rainfall for the City of Milpitas (approximately 14.9 inches per year), and drought conditions in the State of California require water-use restrictions and may also limit access to water during emergencies. Prevailing winds from the Northwest have velocities ranging from 5-mph to 15-mph, but the region has experienced extreme winds up to 60 mph.
Times of little rainfall and high winds can exacerbate and spread fires.
B. The local geological and topographical conditions of the City of Milpitas can affect the response time of emergency service providers. The San Francisco Bay area region is densely populated and located in an area of high seismic activities. In particular, the City of Milpitas is located near the San Andreas Fault zone, which is capable of producing major earthquakes. Should a significant seismic event occur, hazardous materials and gases may be leaked and expose members of the public to significant health risks. Severe seismic events could disrupt communications, damage gas mains, and cause extensive electrical hazards that may exacerbate the size and number of emergencies, and consequently hinder the Fire Department’s ability to respond to emergencies effectively and in a timely manner.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECORD AND BASIS FOR ACTION
The City Council has duly considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to such things as the City staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to the City Council. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.
The City Council finds that the above-listed findings correspond with the following amendments to the 2022 California Fire Code:
