To ensure a seamless transition without interruption of Golf Course operations, staff completed a bid waiver so that the City could assume ownership of the lease Agreement. Formal bidding procedures require the City to issue a Request for Bids; however, the length of time required to issue a bid would have required closure of the golf course until a vendor was selected. This would have caused a loss of green fee revenue to the City.

On March 16, 2021, the bid waiver was approved, and the transition of the lease occurred.

Since then, staff continued to complete the steps required to rebuild the clubhouse. As the lease Agreement neared its end in March 2022, staff contacted the vendor to transition the lease to a month-to-month lease.

The City is now nearing $50,000 in payments to the vendor which requires a formal bid and Agreement. However, the increased costs of switching vendors and possibly closing the golf course would cause a loss in green fee revenue. Purchasing approved extending the lease with WillScot due to these factors.

Staff anticipates the Dryden Golf Clubhouse renovation to be completed by late 2024. As such, this lease Agreement is being extended to December 28, 2024. The monthly cost is estimated at $1,776 per month. Staff is requesting the existing Purchase Order to be increased by $45,362 from $49,638 to $95,000. This increase will cover the twenty-four (24) month extension and any applicable fees and/or taxes.

Modesto Municipal Code Section (MMC) 8-3.204 generally requires all purchases, in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) to follow formal bid procedures. However, MMC 8-3.204(d) provides that a purchase may be exempted from the City’s formal bidding requirement where the Purchasing Manager, in his or her discretion, determines that a process other than the formal bid procedure set forth in Section 8-3.203 will result in procurement for the City at the lowest possible cost commensurate with the desired quality. WillScot qualifies for exemption from the formal bidding procedure in accordance with MMC 8-3.204(d) because a change in vendor would incur removal and installation fees as well as a possible loss in green fee revenue while the building is being replaced.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total amount expended to date is $36,910 for the modular building, since the initial lease Agreement began in March 2021. All expenses are fully funded in the multi-year project for the Dryden Golf Clubhouse Renovation (No. 101294). Expenses are reimbursed through payments made by the City’s insurance provider. Alliant has issued two payments to the City totaling $700,000. Staff anticipates receiving additional funding soon to cover monthly expenses for the Clubhouse through 2024. These funds will cover all costs associated with the lease extension.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

This item was approved by the Safety and Communities Committee on November 14, 2022, where the Committee recommended forwarding to Council for approval. #14..

The Office Modular building at Dryden Golf Course has been on-site since the Clubhouse fire in 2020. The City's insurance provider originally contracted this vendor and transitioned ownership to the City in March 2021. The Clubhouse was expected to be rebuilt by early 2022. However, the Clubhouse has yet to be rebuilt and the Purchase Order with WillScot has since ended in March 2022. Since, then the City has been on a month-to-month lease and is now nearing the $50,000 threshold which requires a formal agreement and Council approval. Changing to a new building will come with additional removal and installation costs and possibly closing the Golf Course causing a loss of revenue to the City. MMC 8-3.204(D) exempts this from formal bidding procedures because of the costs noted above and the loss of green fee revenue while the building is being replaced.

CONTACT: Laurie A. Smith, Director, [email protected], 209-577-5347 DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the First Amendment to the City of Modesto Pandemic Recovery Strategy – Modesto Forward Grant Agreement with the Modesto Convention and Visitors Bureau, Inc., for the Year 2 allocation of $250,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funding. (Funding Source:

American Rescue Plan Act Funds)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This item supports each of the initiatives in the City’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

In April 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), a $1.9 trillion emergency relief measure intended to provide relief from the impact of COVID-19. The legislation also made a historic investment into local governments that includes $45,894,056 to the City of Modesto to address the local impact of COVID-19. The investment is being made in two tranches, with fifty percent made available within sixty days of enactment of the law and fifty percent to be distributed twelve months later. The deadline to obligate funds is December 31, 2024. The deadline to expend the funds is December 31, 2026.

In developing a proposed expenditure plan, the City solicited priorities from the public and Council at three standing City Council Committees: Economic Development, Safety and Communities, and Finance. Three areas of focus were identified to be potentially eligible based on the Treasury Department guidelines available at the time: Economic Vitality, Governance and Service Delivery, and Quality of Life.

On June 22, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-194, Council approved the Pandemic Recovery Strategy – Modesto Forward (Modesto Forward). Modesto Forward’s comprehensive spending plan is designed to support the local recovery from the pandemic. Part of the City’s first tranche (Year 1) of funding included $7,108,500 for Economic Vitality initiatives, with $250,000 allocated to the Modesto Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB).

The Corporation shall be non-profit and non-partisan and shall neither participate in nor lend its support to the election of any candidate for public office.

OBJECTIVE:

Visit Modesto plans to create sustainable tourism oriented economic recovery programs in Modesto. The purpose of the combined initiatives over the next 30-60 months are designed to impact the local economy (lodging, dining, entertainment and more), create consumer awareness that Modesto is a desirable destination for a variety of purposes, generate Public Relations exposure, increase local resident awareness of the amenities and benefits of Modesto, #15..
- 685 -
Funding Contribution First Amendment to Agreement – $500,000 drive revenue/tax dollars from visitors outside the city and increase both the visitor and local experience when spending time in Modesto.

Note that by providing a myriad of destination promotions and programs there will be online and social popularity created for (and about) Modesto as a destination for regional business travel, youth sporting events, tour & travel buses as well as groups, conventions and special events.

GOALS:
- Increase awareness of Modesto as a destination
- Increase occupancy and/or average rate on an annual basis - Develop programs (reasons) for visitors that influences future trips - Increase ‘time in market’ for out of town travelers
- Drive more group-oriented business leads due to destination value awareness - Increase UGC (user generated content) and social engagement SCOPE:

The initiatives will comprise of a combination of the following deliverables; - Wayfinding;
This project will initiate a citywide approach to finding information and places of interest, entertainment, shopping and dining as budget allows. The program would allow sections of Modesto to maintain an independent image while fitting into the grand citywide wayfinding schema. Phase I would be to concept where wayfinding is needed to find Visit Modesto and amplify downtown with info kiosks and a lighting theme that includes the winter holiday season. Phase II, depending upon budget, would be to implement installation of directional wayfinding signage as noted in Phase I.
- Seasonal Initiatives;
These programs are based upon creating awareness of audience specific reasons to visit Modesto.

Day trippers and overnighters all stimulate the local economy and generate future visits. Thus targeted marketing initiatives will be launched for programs outlined and each will be tracked for results. In a post-pandemic world regional and one-day drive travel will be the norm for some time to come.

The key programs under consideration for seasonal initiatives that would be sustainable on an annual basis are;
o Winter/Get Mo Cheer – Holidays in Modesto focused on activities and events with Modesto on Ice, Holiday Parade and Rockin’ Holidays as centerpieces from mid-November through mid-January.
o Early Spring/Almond Blossom Cruise – the focus will shift to include national/international overnight guests as well as regional drive tourism
o Spring/Outdoor Events; recreation focused with the Modesto Marathon/Marathon Weekend to include all things in the region based upon outdoor things to do with continued communications through early winter (running, cycling, kayaking, fishing, hiking, trail riding, etc.).
o Summer/Ag Tourism and more – As noted below, Agricultural Tourism is the foundation upon which we will build interest in the region April through August. This will include a form #15..
- 686 -
Funding Contribution First Amendment to Agreement – $500,000 of Graffiti Summer and car culture as one of the many activities for entertainment during this season.
o Fall/Get Mo Pink (or similar) – This will be a month-long focus on programs, partners and events that celebrate women’s culture and raise awareness for women’s advocacy programs. This initiative will have a unique mission to drive ‘giving back’ and may include other local programs plus support of breast cancer programs in the area, Haven House and other women’s support programs.
- Agricultural Tourism;
According to U.C. Davis, “Agricultural tourism is a commercial enterprise at a working farm or ranch conducted for the enjoyment and education of visitors, and that generates supplemental income for the owner or operator. Agritourism can include farm stands or shops, U-pick, farm stays, tours, onfarm classes, fairs, festivals, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, Christmas tree farms, winery weddings, orchard dinners, youth camps, barn dances, hunting or fishing, guest ranches, and more.” Visit Modesto will work with the support offered by the State of California and guidance of the U.C.

Davis program to develop more programs, like the Almond Blossom Cruise, to drive increased interest and tourism highlighting the bounties of the area. - Sustainable/Environmental Tourism;
Working with programs like KindTravel through the Visit California partnership, Visit Modesto will work towards creating environmentally focused programming, destination sustainability and other initiatives that fit into the new trend for this type of considerate travel and support of visiting destinations that consider the environmental initiatives. - Arts & Entertainment;
Working with local artists, entertainment venues, restaurants and special events, Visit Modesto will be creating programs that drive interest in the arts, food, music and cultural programs of the area. A specific focus will be on original and creative programs as well as events that bring popular artists to play in Modesto. This initiative will have a focus on events that are both free to the public (locals included) and also ticketed events at private venues.
- Special Programs;
Over the next 36 months Visit Modesto will be working with local businesses, entrepreneurs and partners to develop several annual ‘weekend’ programs that celebrate cuisine, wine, spirits, agriculture and culture. These would range from Food & Wine education weekends to Family Fun weekends.

1. Recipient ensures its current and future compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits exclusion from participation, denial of the benefits of, or subjection to discrimination under programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, of any person in the United States on the ground of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.), as implemented by the Department of the Treasury Title VI regulations at 31 CFR Part 22 and other pertinent executive orders such as Executive Order 13166, directives, circulars, policies, memoranda, and/or guidance documents.

6. Recipient understands and agrees that if any real property or structure is provided or improved with the aid of federal financial assistance by the Department of the Treasury, this assurance obligates the Recipient, or in the case of a subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the period during which the real property or structure is used for a purpose for which the federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits. If any personal property is provided, this assurance obligates the Recipient for the period during which it retains ownership or possession of the property.

If Recipient has not been the subject of any court or administrative agency finding of discrimination, please so state.

10. If the Recipient makes sub-awards to other agencies or other entities, the Recipient is responsible for ensuring that sub-recipients also comply with Title VI and other applicable authorities covered in this document State agencies that make sub-awards must have in place standard grant assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients.

The United States of America has the right to seek judicial enforcement of the terms of this assurances document and nothing in this document alters or limits the federal enforcement measures that the United States may take in order to address violations of this document or applicable federal law.

Under penalty of perjury, the undersigned official(s) certifies that official(s) has read and understood the Recipient’s obligations as herein described, that any information submitted in conjunction with this assurances document is accurate and complete, and that the Recipient is in compliance with the aforementioned nondiscrimination requirements.

GOALS:

SCOPE:

Note that by providing a myriad of destination promotions and programs there will be online and social popularity created for (and about) Modesto as a destination for regional business travel, youth sporting events, tour & travel buses as well as groups, conventions and special events.

Increase awareness of Modesto as a destination
Increase occupancy and/or average rate on an annual basis Develop programs (reasons) for visitors that influences future trips Increase 'time in market' for out of town travelers
Drive more group-oriented business leads due to destination value awareness Increase UGC (user generated content) and social engagement The initiatives will comprise of a combination of the following deliverables; Wayfinding;
This project will initiate a citywide approach to finding information and places of interest, entertainment, shopping and dining as budget allows. The program would allow sections of Modesto to maintain an independent image while fitting into the grand citywide wayfinding schema. Phase I would be to concept where wayfinding is needed to find Visit Modesto and amplify downtown with info kiosks and a lighting theme that includes the winter holiday season. Phase II, depending upon budget, would be to implement installation of directional wayfinding signage as noted in Phase I.

Seasonal Initiatives;
These programs are based upon creating awareness of audience specific reasons to visit Modesto.

Day trippers and overnighters all stimulate the local economy and generate future visits. Thus targeted marketing initiatives will be launched for programs outlined and each will be tracked for results. In a post-pandemic world regional and one-day drive travel will be the norm for some time to come.

The key programs under consideration for seasonal initiatives that would be sustainable on an annual basis are;
o Winter/Get Mo Cheer - Holidays in Modesto focused on activities and events with Modesto on Ice, Holiday Parade and Rockin' Holidays as centerpieces from mid-November through mid-January.
o Early Spring/ Almond Blossom Cruise - the focus will shift to include national/international overnight guests as well as regional drive tourism
o Spring/Outdoor Events; recreation focused with the Modesto Marathon/Marathon Weekend to include all things in the region based upon outdoor things to do with continued communications through early winter (running, cycling, kayaking, fishing, hiking, trail riding, etc.).
o Summer/Ag Tourism and more-As noted below, Agricultural Tourism is the foundation upon which we will build interest in the region April through August. This will include a form of Graffiti Summer and car culture as one of the many activities for entertainment during this season.

o Fall/Get Mo Pink (or similar) - This will be a month-long focus on programs, partners and events that celebrate women's culture and raise awareness for women's advocacy programs. This initiative will have a unique mission to drive 'giving back' and may include other local programs plus support of breast cancer programs in the area, Haven House and other women's support programs.

Agricultural Tourism;
According to U.C. Davis, "Agricultural tourism is a commercial enterprise at a working farm or ranch conducted for the enjoyment and education of visitors, and that generates supplemental income for the owner or operator. Agritourism can include farm stands or shops, U-pick, farm stays, tours, onfarm classes, fairs, festivals, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, Christmas tree farms, winery weddings, orchard dinners, youth camps, barn dances, hunting or fishing, guest ranches, and more." Visit Modesto will work with the support offered by the State of California and guidance of the U.C.

Davis program to develop more programs, like the Almond Blossom Cruise, to drive increased interest and tourism highlighting the bounties of the area.

Sustainable/Environmental Tourism;
Working with programs like KindTravel through the Visit California partnership, Visit Modesto will work towards creating environmentally focused programming, destination sustainability and other initiatives that fit into the new trend for this type of considerate travel and support of visiting destinations that consider the environmental initiatives.

Arts & Entertainment;
Working with local artists, entertainment venues, restaurants and special events, Visit Modesto will be creating programs that drive interest in the arts, food, music and cultural programs of the area. A specific focus will be on original and creative programs as well as events that bring popular artists to play in Modesto. This initiative will have a focus on events that are both free to the public (locals included) and also ticketed events at private venues.

Special Programs;
Over the next 36 months Visit Modesto will be working with local businesses, entrepreneurs and partners to develop several annual 'weekend' programs that celebrate cuisine, wine, spirits, agriculture and culture. These would range from Food & Wine education weekends to Family Fun weekends.

If Recipient has not been the subject of any court or administrative agency finding of discrimination, please so state.

10. If the Recipient makes sub-awards to other agencies or other entities, the Recipient is responsible for ensuring that sub-recipients also comply with Title VI and other applicable authorities covered in this document State agencies that make sub-awards must have in place standard grant assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients.

CITY OF MODESTO

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

December 6, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Laurie A. Smith, Director of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods Department SUBJECT: Fourth Amendment to Agreement between City and the Baseball Club of Modesto, LLC
CONTACT: Laurie A. Smith, Director, [email protected], 209-577-5347 DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the Fourth Amendment to Agreement with The Baseball Club of Modesto, as Successor in Interest to HWS Baseball IV, LLC, to revise the expiration date in the Accelerated Termination Provision from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023. (Funding Source: CIP Project 101019/General Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This action supports the City’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan’s Area of Focus to promote its economic vitality goals to drive the success of a vibrant and economically sustainable business climate, build and promote a recognizable and desirable identity of the City of Modesto, and to make downtown Modesto a regional destination.

BACKGROUND:

The City owns the property, stadium, and parking facilities that comprise John Thurman Field located at 601 Neece Drive. From 2006-2016, the City leased the facility to the Modesto Nuts Baseball Club, an affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. On December 13, 2016, by Resolution No. 2016-503, the City and HWS Baseball IV, LLC, also known as the Modesto Nuts Baseball Club, entered into a ten-year agreement to operate, manage, and maintain the facility while the City retains ownership and control of the asset (“Agreement”). The Agreement requires the Club to maintain the facility and field and pay an annual license fee of $70,000 to the City. In return, the City contributes $120,000 per year for capital improvement and deferred maintenance projects for the stadium.

In 2018, staff entered into discussions regarding the replacement of the outdated videoboard and stadium seating. The replacement, estimated at $500,000, exceeded the available CIP funding. As a result, by Resolution No. 2018-451, Council approved the First Amendment to the Agreement, which advanced one of the $120,000 annual CIP Deposits to help fund the project in advance of the 2019 season.

City Council, December 6, 2022
Fourth Amendment to Agreement between City
and The Baseball Club of Modesto, LLC

Page 2 of 3 ends

In Spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the State to shut down all non-essential operations, services, and programs. The State’s actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, were outside the Club’s control and, prevented it from providing a full schedule of professional baseball games at John Thurman Field for the 2020 season. In addition, that same year, HWS Baseball IV, LLC assigned all obligations and rights under the Agreement to The Baseball Club of Modesto, LLC (“Club”). The Club is owned by Mariners Investment, LLC c/o The Seattle Mariners. Prior to this assignment, the Seattle Mariners owned 51% of the team.

The change in assignment gives the Club full ownership of the Modesto Nuts franchise under the Seattle Mariners as the parent club.

On January 12, 2020, in response to the negative economic impacts of COVID-19 and the reassignment of the Club, Council, by Resolution No. 2020-007, approved the Second Amendment to the Agreement. The Second Amendment included the following: 1) extended the term of the Agreement through 2027; 2) waived the Club’s 2020 $70,000 annual license fee payment and added it to the 2027 season; and 3) deferred the City’s Fiscal Year 2020-2021 $120,000 CIP Deposit to Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

On July 23, 2021, the City notified the Club of its intent to reopen the terms of the Agreement and commence the meet and confer process. The Club declined the City’s request, triggering the Agreement to expire on December 31, 2021. Although the Club declined the City’s request for the reopener, all Parties agreed that operations should continue in compliance with the Agreement. To facilitate this in a timely manner, Council, by Resolution No. 2021-497 amended the Agreement to extend the expiration date in the accelerated termination provision to December 31, 2022.

DISCUSSION:

Last year’s extension provided time for the Club and City to assess and discuss the best course of action for both Parties. Over the past year, the Club and City met and conferred on several matters, including Major League Baseball’s stadium requirements for Minor League facilities, possible changes to the terms and conditions, and the rising costs to do business. Discussions continue today.

With that, an extension to the accelerated termination clause in the current Agreement needs to be amended. The amendment will extend it for an additional year to December 31, 2023. This action provides additional time for the Club and City to assess and discuss the best course of action for both Parties.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If approved, there is no fiscal impact with the implementation of the Fourth Amendment.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

This agenda item was considered on November 14, 2022, by the Safety & Communities Committee on November 14, 2022, where the committee recommended forwarding to Council for approval.

CITY OF MODESTO

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

January 12, 2020
Date: November 10, 2020
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Laurie A. Smith, Director of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods SUBJECT: Second Amendment to Agreement between City and The Baseball Club of Modesto, LLC
CONTACT: Laurie A. Smith, Director of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods, [email protected], 577-5347
DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the Second Amendment to Agreement with The Baseball Club of Modesto, as successor in interest to HWS Baseball IV, LLC, to extend the term through December 31, 2027, waive the 2020 annual license fee payment, and defer the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Capital Improvement Project deposit to Fiscal Year 2025-2026. (Funding Source: CIP Project 101019/General Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This action supports the City’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan’s Area of Focus to promote its economic vitality goals to drive the success of a vibrant and economically sustainable business climate, build and promote a recognizable and desirable identity of the City of Modesto, and to make downtown Modesto a regional destination.

BACKGROUND:

The City owns the property, stadium and parking facilities that comprise John Thurman Field.

From 2006-2016, the City leased the facility to the Modesto Nuts Baseball Club, an affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. On December 13, 2016, by Resolution No. 2016-503, the City and HWS Baseball IV, LLC, also known as the Modesto Nuts Baseball Club (Club), entered into a ten-year agreement to operate, manage, and maintain the facility while the City retains ownership and control of the asset (Agreement). The Agreement specifies the Club maintain the facility and field and pay an annual license fee of $70,000 to the City. In return, the City contributes $120,000 per year for capital improvement and deferred maintenance projects for the stadium.

In 2018, staff entered into discussions regarding replacement of the outdated videoboard and stadium seating. The replacement, estimated at $500,000, exceeded the available CIP funding.

As a result, by Resolution No. 2018-451, Council approved the First Amendment to the DocuSign Envelope ID: 74204E1F-37DA-43AF-84E4-AC804CE73F8E #16..

Second Amendment to Agreement between City and
The Baseball Club of Modesto, LLC

Page 2 of 3 ends

Agreement which advanced one of the $120,000 annual CIP Deposits to help fund the project in advance of the 2019 season.

DISCUSSION:

In Spring 2020, COVID-19 forced the State to shut down all non-essential operations, services and programs. This force, outside the control of the Club, prevented the Club from providing a full schedule of professional baseball games at John Thurman Field for the 2020 season. As a result, the season was cancelled and the Club requested that the City waive or defer the $70,000 annual license fee.

In response to the negative economic impacts of COVID-19, staff met with the Club to discuss options. As result, staff recommends amending the Agreement as follows:
1) Add one additional year to the term of the Agreement and extend it through 2027. 2) Waive the 2020 annual license fee payment and add it to the 2027 season. 3) Defer the City’s Fiscal Year 2020-2021 $120,000 CIP Deposit to Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

On November 3, 2020, the City was notified that HWS Baseball IV, LLC assigned all obligations and rights under the Agreement to The Baseball Club of Modesto, LLC. The Baseball Club of Modesto, LLC is owned by Mariners Investment, LLC c/o The Seattle Mariners. Prior to this assignment, the Seattle Mariners owned 51% of the team. The change in assignment gives The Baseball Club of Modesto, LLC full ownership of the Modesto Nuts franchise under the Seattle Mariners as the parent club.

With its long history and partnership, staff believes it is in the best interest of both parties to continue working together during these difficult and uncertain times. As proposed, the City’s waiver of this year’s annual payment provides much needed financial relief to the Club until state restrictions are lifted and new guidelines and protocols are put in place for the 2021 spring season. Likewise, the deferral of the City’s CIP Deposit also provides similar relief to the City’s general fund budget and covers the Club’s annual payment loss of revenue. Staff is recommending both the waiver and deferral and amending the Club information to reflect the changes in ownership and name.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City’s operating budget for John Thurman Field for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 is $117,315.

Staff expects to realize some cost savings in utilities and maintenance expenses due to COVID19. However, the deferral of the $70,000 license fee payment may create a shortfall in General Funds routinely used to offset nearly 65% of the operating expenses.

Deferral of the City’s FY 2020-2021 $120,000 CIP Deposit to Fiscal Year 2025-2026 may impede the City’s ability to fund capital projects throughout the year. At this time, $21,350 is available for capital projects.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

This item was approved by the Finance Committee on October 26, 2020 and recommended it be forwarded to Council for approval. Note: The Finance Committee agenda report did not include the change in ownership assignments as this information was received after the meeting.

CITY OF MODESTO

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

December 6, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Laurie A. Smith, Director of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods Department SUBJECT: Purchase and Sale Agreement for APN 034-018-014 CONTACT: Laurie A. Smith, Director, [email protected], 209-577-5347 DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the Purchase and Sale Agreement for certain real property located at approximately 1300 Scenic Drive, Stanislaus County Assessor’s Parcel Number 034-018-014, for $795,000, plus $20,000 in anticipated closing costs. (Funding Source: Parks and Air Quality Capital Facility Fee Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This item is consistent with the following 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Area of Focus: Quality of Life and Governance and Service Delivery.

BACKGROUND:

Pamela Monterosso Trailhead acts as a primary access point for the Peggy Mensinger Trail along Dry Creek. Planning and concept designing began in the early 2000’s and included easy roundabout access to the trail, a small shade pavilion with a picnic table, landscaping and a parking lot. In 2003, plans to purchase the property for the primary parking lot failed. In 2007, construction was completed for the trailhead’s landscaping, roundabout access, and eight parking spaces. In 2015, the small shade pavilion with picnic table was completed using grant funds.

In 2002, the City moved forward with plans to purchase and develop the vacant parcel on the southeast corner of Scenic Drive and Coffee Road (APN 034-018-014). This parcel would join the Class I and Class II bike paths from Dry Creek and Coffee Road and provide adequate parking for park and trail visitors. However, in 2003, Council elected to return the designated Transportation Equity Act (TEA) grant funding back to StanCOG and the purchase fell through.

As a result, the property owner constructed private parking for the adjacent office complex.

In the last several years, especially since the pandemic, use of the Dry Creek Regional Park and this trailhead has significantly increased. In 2020, the office complex manager (Liberty Property Management) agreed to lease 40 parking spaces to the City ($15,000/year) for park visitors. Council, by Resolution No. 2021-067 approved the lease as an interim solution until the #17..

Purchase and Sale Agreement for APN 034-018-014

Page 2 of 3 ends

City secured funding for the purchase of the parking lot parcel. The lease, is set to expire on December 31, 2022.

DISCUSSION:

Purchase of the parcel (Property) will benefit the community, including several non-profit groups that are active in the recreational and preservation efforts within Dry Creek Regional Park.

These groups include but are not limited to the Dry Creek Trail Riders, Modesto Area Disc Golfers, the Shadowchase Running Club, the La Loma Neighborhood Association, and the Dry Creek Trails Coalition. Organized activities by these groups typically exceed the current eight (8) space parking capacity which forces them to utilize the private property defined in the proposed Agreement. Without the purchase of the 40-space parking lot on this parcel the positive use of the park will be greatly impacted.

In early 2021, representatives for the property owner, Thousand Oaks Executive Center, LLC, expressed interest in selling or developing the Property. The Property is improved with a parking lot, lighting, landscaping, and drainage facilities and provides parking for the adjacent office park. Both the office park and Property share a driveway that connects the parking areas for both properties to Scenic Drive. The entrance of the driveway is located on the office park, and the exit of the driveway is located on the parcel.

In Spring 2021, staff contracted Valbridge Property Advisors to complete an appraisal of the parcel. The market value of the property was appraised at $840,000. Soon after, both parties agreed on a purchase price of $795,000. The Purchase and Sale Agreement includes the following provisions:
1) As part of the sale of the Property, a reciprocal access easement or similar binding agreement will be recorded allowing both parties, as well as their guests and invitees, to use the Shared Driveway, with Seller responsible for the maintenance and repair of the Shared Driveway.
2) Prior to the close of escrow of the Property, the parties agree to enter into and execute a maintenance agreement governing the maintenance of the Property.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If approved, the purchase of the property, APN 034-018-014, will cost $795,000. A portion of the funding for the purchase of the property is budgeted in Project #101393 (Fund 3432). It is anticipated that a budget adjustment to allocate $50,000 from Parks and Air Quality Capital Facility Fees (Fund 3432) will be required to cover the purchase price and the closing costs for this transaction.

Revenue – Project #101393
Current Budgeted Revenue $765,000
Additional Revenue (Fund 3432) $50,000
Total Revenue $815,000
Expenses
Land Acquisition Costs $795,000
Anticipated Closing Costs $20,000
Total Expenses $815,000

Annual maintenance for the property, per the forthcoming Maintenance Agreement, is currently estimated at $20,000 per year. Funding is available in the Parks, Recreation & Neighborhoods department’s FY 22/23 Operating Budget.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

This agenda item was considered on November 14. 2022 by the Safety & Communities Committee on November 14, 2022, where the committee recommended forwarding to Council for approval.

Staff Recommendations:

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

December 6, 2022
Date: November 7, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Bill Sandhu, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. to conduct a feasibility study for the City’s Compost Facility
CONTACT: Rosene Salmo, Integrated Waste Program Manager [email protected] 209-577-5453
DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving an Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. to conduct a Feasibility Study for the City’s Compost Facility at 7001 Jennings Road, for a total amount not to exceed $97,055. (Funding Source: Compost Facility Improvement Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

The recommended action is consistent with the Council’s Strategic Plan Area (2020-2025) - Quality of Life: “Engage partners across the community to ensure the safety, resilience, and attractiveness of Modesto;” Goal D: “Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.” BACKGROUND:

The City of Modesto Compost Facility was created and began operation in January 1997 to comply with Assembly Bill (AB) 939’s fifty percent (50%) waste diversion requirement. In September 2016, Governor Brown signed the Short-Lived Climate Pollution Reduction Act Senate Bill (SB 1383)1 into law, establishing emission reduction targets statewide to reduce organic waste to landfill by seventy-five percent (75%) and recovering twenty percent (20%) of edible food waste for human consumption by 2025.

The Compost Facility’s primary and state mandated purpose is to process the City’s diverted yard waste, paper waste and food waste materials into a reusable soil amendment product (compost), thus keeping these materials from entering the landfill and lowering the City’s disposal rate. A secondary purpose of the facility is to then market and sell the finished compost to farmers, landscapers, and backyard gardeners, which in turn helps keep the facility 1 https://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/organics/slcp
