The Council’s policy in recent years has been to appoint the office of Vice-Mayor on a rotational basis. The City’s Charter, Section 3.2 provides: “Vice-Mayor. The Council shall select one of its members to serve as Vice-Mayor. The Vice-Mayor shall serve in the absence or incapacity of the Mayor and shall have all rights and duties of the Mayor in his/her absence. The term of ViceMayor shall be coterminous with that of the Mayor unless a specific term is established by the City Council. The Vice-Mayor shall serve at the pleasure of the City Council.” FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

This action has no fiscal implications.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Date: 12/6/2022
Item No.: 4.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 4., Item Page 1, Packet Page 35 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Council may choose another method of selection and/or may change the duration of the appointment to be coterminous with that of the Mayor.

DISCUSSION:

In recent years, the City Council has rotated the office of Vice-Mayor on a calendar year basis.

The intent is to ensure that each Councilmember has an opportunity to serve as Vice-Mayor at least once during a four-year term and to provide a consistent and efficient method for the selection of that officer. The following is a history of the Vice-Mayor appointments for the past five years:
2018

Agenda Report
FROM: Clementine Bonner Klein, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Authorize Remote Teleconference Meetings of the City Council and Boards, Commissions, and Committees for the Period December 17, 2022 through January 5, 2023 Pursuant to AB361 Ralph M. Brown Act Provisions (Not a project under CEQA per Article 20 Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5 Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council consider the state of the COVID-19 emergency and adopt a resolution to authorize remote teleconference attendance for all public meetings of City of Monterey legislative bodies under emergency-specific Brown Act provisions for the period of December 17, 2022 through January 5, 2023. This action is required to comply with the Brown Act.

VALUE DRIVERS:

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The recommendations in this report are consistent with the requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code section 54950 through 54963). The City’s policy is to ensure the public’s health, safety, and welfare of its employees, residents, and visitors. Continuing to authorize remote attendance of public meetings will help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Government Code section 54953(e)(3) requires the city to consider the circumstances of the state of emergency and make the following findings by majority vote: (1) the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person; and/or (2) state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.

Furthermore, it is consistent with the City’s Strategic Priority to “ensure the health and wellness of the community including the COVID-19 pandemic response through emergency operations, clear communication with the public, delivering vaccinations, supporting testing efforts, issuing emergency orders, managing social distancing regulations, adopting eviction protections, hosting blood drives, and providing food security.”
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

There is no new or additional cost associated with offering free and secure teleconferencing participation in the City’s public meetings through toll-free telephone and internet-based ZoomGov webinars and free live-streamed meeting observation on cable access television and/or on the internet via YouTube when possible. The City currently pays $5,133 annually for the ZoomGov webinar accounts and toll-free phone access used for public meetings. Live streaming of public meetings on Comcast Channel 25 is provided under an ongoing public, Date: 12/6/2022
Item No.: 6.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 6., Item Page 1, Packet Page 40 educational, and government (“PEG”) cable access agreement with Access Monterey Peninsula, Inc. In 2021, the City contributed around $240,000 towards Access Monterey Peninsula and has contributed $294,600 in the first half of 2022.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 CEQA Guidelines Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Upon consideration of the state of emergency, the Council may choose not to authorize emergency teleconference attendance of meetings. This would mean that meetings held after December 16, 2022 (the expiration date of Resolution No. 22-149 C.S.) would be subject to Government Code section 54953(b)(3) pre-COVID-19 Brown Act noticing and quorum requirements for teleconference attendance at public meetings by elected and appointed officials of the City’s legislative bodies.

DISCUSSION:

Background
The Ralph M. Brown Act requires local government business to be conducted at open and public meetings with few exceptions. The COVID-19 pandemic presented significant health and safety concerns that made public gatherings unsafe. This resulted in the City of Monterey and many other public agencies holding public meetings with remote attendance methods authorized in Governor Newsom’s emergency executive orders to protect attendees' health and safety.

In September 2021, the Brown Act was amended by Assembly Bill 361 (“AB 361”), authorizing the city and other public agencies to continue to allow teleconference attendance at public meetings if the legislative body makes certain findings. This authorization is in effect until January 1, 2024. Accordingly, the City Council has adopted resolutions with the required findings at least every 30 days from October 5, 2021 to November 16, 2022. During this period, attendance was primarily conducted in a hybrid format, allowing both in-person and teleconference attendance. This flexibility has ensured transparent, healthy, and safe public access to the city’s meetings and meetings of its legislative bodies. The current teleconferencing authorization is effective through December 16, 2022. Findings regarding the COVID-19 state of emergency will continue to be agendized for Council consideration at least every 30 days as required by State law while the state of emergency is in place and until the Council determines conditions are safe to return to non-pandemic Brown Act provisions for the city’s public meetings.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 6., Item Page 2, Packet Page 41 The ZoomGov platform currently used by the City for teleconference meeting attendance allows for participation that is free, broadly accessible, safe, and secure. The Council and public can attend meetings remotely using any internet-accessible device or by dialing toll-free on the telephone and remain socially distanced while engaging in important public discourse.

State of Emergency Expiration
On October 17, 2022, Governor Newsom announced that he plans to terminate the COVID-19 State of Emergency on February 28, 2023. The provisions of AB 361, which expire December 31, 2023, apply to meetings held during a state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor.

Therefore, at such time that the proclaimed state of emergency has ended, provisions of AB 361 will cease to provide a pandemic-specific teleconferencing option for City Council and board/commission meetings.

Current Findings
At the present time, AB 361 provisions are still able to be utilized to support allowing teleconference attendance to protect the public health. Facts supporting continued authorization for teleconferencing pursuant to Government Code section 54954(e)(3)(B)(i) are:
 The Omicron variant of the virus was classified by the World Health Organization (“WHO”) as a Variant of Concern on November 26, 2021, was identified in the United States as reported by the CDC on December 1, 2021, and sixteen lineages of the Omicron variant constituted 99.9% of COVID-19 cases in the United States as of November 12, 2022, as reported by the CDC on December 2, 2022.  According to Monterey County’s COVID-19 Biweekly Update updated on December 1, 2022, the COVID-19 case rate in Monterey County is 6 cases per 100,000 people with a test positivity rate of 6.3% (7-day average for both statistics), with 29 people currently hospitalized.

Staff recommends that the City Council consider the current state of the COVID-19 emergency and, in order to protect the health and safety of public meeting attendees, adopt the attached resolution to authorize emergency teleconference attendance of public meetings through January 5, 2023.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY

AUTHORIZING REMOTE TELECONFERENCE MEETINGS

OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND COMMITTEES FOR THE PERIOD OF DECEMBER 17, 2022 THROUGH JANUARY 5, 2023 PURSUANT TO AB 361 RALPH M. BROWN ACT PROVISIONS
WHEREAS, the City Council is empowered to take actions necessary to protect and has an important governmental interest in protecting the health, safety, and welfare of those who participate in meetings of the City Council and its legislative bodies subject to California Government Code sections 54950-54963 (the Ralph M. Brown Act, or “Brown Act”); WHEREAS, on October 5, 2021, November 2, 2021, November 16, 2021, December 7, 2021, December 21, 2021, January 18, 2022, February 15, 2022, March 15, 2022, March 23, 2022, April 19, 2022, May 17, 2022, June 7, 2022, June 29, 2022, July 19, 2022, August 16, 2022, September 6, 2022, October 4, 2022, November 1, 2022, and November 16, 2022, the City Council adopted resolutions authorizing teleconference attendance of public meetings for the City Council and Boards, Commissions and Committees due to the imminent risk to the health and safety of attendees relating to in-person meeting attendance; WHEREAS, the City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of the COVID-19 emergency;
WHEREAS, the Omicron variant of the virus was classified by the World Health Organization (“WHO”) as a Variant of Concern on November 26, 2021, was identified in the United States as reported by the CDC on December 1, 2021, and 16 lineages of the Omicron variant constituted 99.9% of COVID-19 cases in the United States as of November 12, 2022, as reported by the CDC on December 2, 2022;
WHEREAS, according to Monterey County’s COVID-19 Biweekly Update updated on December 1, 2022, the COVID-19 case rate in Monterey County is 6 cases per 100,000 people with a test positivity rate of 6.3% (7-day average for both statistics), with 29 people currently hospitalized;
WHEREAS, the Monterey County Health Department continues to recommend that physical and social distancing strategies be practiced in Monterey County, which includes remote meetings of legislative bodies of local agencies, to the extent possible; and WHEREAS, the City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 6., Item Page 4, Packet Page 43 2 Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY that:

1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
2 Pursuant to Government Code section 59453(e)(3)(B)(i), the City Council has reviewed the circumstances of the continued state of emergency posed by the spread of COVID-19 and finds that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the public and members of City legislative bodies to meet safely in person, and holding meetings exclusively in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees.

3. The City Council authorizes remote teleconferencing public meetings of the City Council and city boards, commissions, and committees pursuant to Government Code section 59453(e)(1). This Resolution expires on January 5, 2023.

Agenda Report
№08/22
FROM: Andrea Renny, P.E., Public Works Director
Prepared By: Tricia Wotan, CFM, Environmental Regulations Manager SUBJECT: Authorize Amendment to the Agreement with Trinity Source Group, Inc. for Remediation of Groundwater Contamination at 951 Del Monte Avenue to Increase the Contract Amount from $996,195 to $1,056,160 ***CIP*** (Mitigated Negative Declaration Adopted)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving Amendment 6 to the agreement with Trinity Source Group, Inc. (“TSG”) for Remediation of Groundwater Contamination at 951 Del Monte Avenue to increase the contract amount from $996,195 to $1,056,160, an increase to the contract of $59,965.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Protect and preserve our natural environment by addressing climate change through ecologically responsible and pragmatic solutions.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

These Council actions will allow the City to continue the regulatory process required by two Cleanup and Abatement Orders (CAOs) from the State Water Resources Control Board, and continue to progress the remediation actions per the requirements of the January 2014 Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) letter to the City on the matter. The actions proposed support the General Plan Conservation Element Water Quality Goal b.1 directing the protection of creeks, lakes, wetlands, beaches, and Monterey Bay from pollutants. Unconfined groundwater, such as that beneath Window-On-The-Bay Park, is an often-forgotten part of the environment and hydrologic cycle, and its contaminant clean-up supports the protection of the community’s natural resources, including our coastal areas.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The project is funded by the General Fund through Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Account 33c1454. In total, $1,261,800 have been appropriated through Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 by seven prior City Council actions.

Of the $1,261,800 appropriated to the project since 2014, a total of $996,195 has been allocated to the TSG scopes of work to plan, develop, analyze, and execute the RAP environmental services for the City through the second injection and monitoring into Phase III of Date: 12/6/2022
Item No.: 7.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 7., Item Page 1, Packet Page 45 remediation. The proposed agreement amendment for continued Phase III services would increase the contract by $59,965, which revises the agreement to a not-to-exceed fee of $1,056,160 to support continued groundwater sampling/monitoring events, data analyses, regulatory reporting and coordination, project management, and meetings, and assist this City with the start of regulatory close-out discussions and activities.

As of November 8, 2022 there are sufficient funds in project account 33c1454 to complete the additional scope of work.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City is the Lead Agency for the Project, and thus has principal responsibility for carrying out and approving the Project. Accordingly, the City filed and posted a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration according to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15072. The NOI, Draft Initial Study, and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) were submitted to the Office of Planning and Research State Clearinghouse (SCH# 2015091082) and circulated for public review for the required 30-day minimum public review period from September 30, 2015 to October 30, 2015 (CEQA Section 15073), during which time all related documents were made available at the Monterey City Hall (Planning Office and City Clerk Office) and on the City’s website. The City also mailed the Notice of Intent to owners and occupants of properties contiguous to and within a 300-foot radius from the project location.

The IS/MND identified potentially significant environmental impacts that were reduced to less than significant with mitigation; the mitigation measures were listed in the IS/MND, and in a mitigation monitoring program. On April 19, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution 16-061 adopting the project Mitigated Negative Declaration, and thereafter, a Notice of Determine was filed with the Monterey County Clerk.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council could decide not to amend the professional services agreement with TSG and direct staff to negotiate with one of the next most qualified firms. This is not recommended as the proposal evaluation process for this remediation project identified TSG to be the bestqualified firm to provide the required professional groundwater remediation science and management services for the City for this project. Also, TSG has thus far provided outstanding professional and technical skills to perform the services necessary, including identifying more efficient and effective project steps and uses for limited City resources on this project. The TSG-developed Remedial Action Plan (RAP) gained critical concurrence from the regulator who has directed the City to move forward with the work as prescribed in the RAP, and the remedial actions taken to-date have been successful toward significantly reducing the contaminant plumes at the site to arrive at State consideration of site closure. Changing consultant course at this date for the professional services necessary to oversee and perform the environmental services may delay City efforts to realize closure of Cleanup and Abatement Orders No. R3- 2006-0021 and R3-2008-0053, and escalate costs and likely extend the overall compliance time frame. The Request for Proposals contemplated a phased contract with negotiations for future services.

DISCUSSION:

The additional scope of work contemplated herein includes field environmental/scientific efforts at multiple City-owned parcels in the vicinity of 951 Del Monte Avenue, including APN 001-801- Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 7., Item Page 2, Packet Page 46 002, APN 001-801-005, APN 001-801-006, and APN 001-801-016, and which are otherwise known as a portion of Window on the Bay Park. This site was formerly operated as a drycleaning facility until the City purchased the site in 2000; in the years following, the improvements at the site were demolished to become open space.

The City Council last received a comprehensive report on this property and the contemplated remedial action plan study and cleanup approach on June 18, 2019. Since then, the second round of reagent injections was approved for contaminant treatment, along with continued groundwater monitoring, data analyses, and communication and coordination with the State.

Project Background
In January 2014, the City received a letter from the RWQCB outlining its desired “Pathway to Closure” for this City property, which has legacy underground pollutant concentrations of PCE and associated biodegradation products remaining in the groundwater from the former dry cleaning use and associated operations at this location. RWQCB staff emphasized the need for the City to explore different pathways to cleanup site closure than was previously proposed by a 2009 Draft Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study Report (RIFS) Report. RWQCB staff also indicated their eagerness for the City to complete this remediation project in the most timeand cost-efficient manner as possible, and also noted a strong interest in working with the City to better direct this effort.

Field Remediation and Monitoring
Since RAP development in 2014 and finalization in March 2015, the City adopted the RAP project’s Mitigated Negative Declaration, the Coastal Commission approved the project, and the RWQCB issued a Concurrence with Corrective Action Plan and Notice of Applicability for General Waiver Enrollment letter to the City directing the City to proceed with the remediation project. In 2016, the City performed the first large reagent injection into the ground at the site.

Quarterly groundwater monitoring of groundwater at the site since the first injection demonstrated treatment success with data supporting substantial reductions in the PCE plumes observed at the site.

To capitalize on and further this pollutant reduction trend in the soil and groundwater, TSG recommended and the City Council approved a second injection event in 2019 with follow-up groundwater monitoring. As a result of both underground injection/treatment events of the contaminant plumes with reagent, the contaminant plumes have substantially reduced in size.

Contract Consideration
The February 2014 City RFP outlined a three-phase approach to the project. As advertised in the RFP, the City reserves the right at the conclusion at each Phase of the project to either continue working with the selected consultant or not, and if the City decides to continue working with the selected consultant, then both the City and consultant agrees to negotiate the scope and fees for the next Phase’s service to be accomplished through an amendment to the original contract.

During Phases I, II, and III thus far, TSG has proven its professional and technical skill and managerial abilities to perform the services of this project, including but not limited to a Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 7., Item Page 3, Packet Page 47 negotiated outcome for Phase II that allowed the City to submit a much-abbreviated feasibility discussion and focus City time and limited resources on the necessary remedial action plan.

That negotiated term allowed the City to bypass a costly, time-consuming, and detailed feasibility study phase, and streamlined Phase II efforts and resources toward the needed data gaps investigations, development of the RAP and associated Phase III scope of work and associated documentation, culminating in the successful execution of the two substantial injection (contaminant treatment) events at this City contaminated site.

Site data demonstrate substantial remedial progress that has allowed the City to arrive at the contemplation of site closure discussions with the State. The Trinity Source Group cost estimate proposed will support continued Phase III groundwater monitoring, data analyses, regulatory reporting and coordination, project management and meetings. To date, Trinity Source Group has successfully completed Phases I, II, and the injection and monitoring events of Phase III environmental services with substantial reductions in the groundwater pollutants at the site.

The Council is considering an amendment to the TSG agreement to support continued Phase III remedial efforts of the project.

Next Steps
The actions contemplated herein will allow the City to continue the project work necessary to move toward closure for this cleanup site. The City anticipates a formal closure discussion with the regulator in 2023. At that time, it’s anticipated the typical, minimum needs for closure may include 1) seeking permits for well destruction, 2) develop and advertise well-destruction bid documents and perform well destruction, and 3) execute deed restrictions at the site (for ‘lowthreat’ UST site closure terms). The City will better understand the entirety of the required closeout actions upon State consultation in 2023; if the anticipated actions change, staff may return to Council with an update. Ultimately, site closure occurs as a recommendation by the Regional Board Executive Director or designee to the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board Members to consider for approval at a public hearing.

All City actions to date demonstrate the City’s continued proactive steps to improve the groundwater condition at the site and see this environmental concern to closure. Throughout the last decade, City Council and staff have remained committed to implementing the most technically and economically effective and efficient way to accomplish the cleanup and closure of this priority remediation site. All efforts to this end shall also assist the City in avoiding further enforcement action by the SWRCB on the Cleanup and Abatement Orders, including administrative civil liability, related to the required cleanup actions. Ultimately, the services planned are intended to aid an improved environmental condition into the future for our community.

Therefore, Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving Amendment 6 to the agreement with Trinity Source Group, Inc. (“TSG”) for Remediation of Groundwater Contamination at 951 Del Monte Avenue to increase the contract amount from $996,195 to $1,056,160, an increase to the contract of $59,965.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY
№08/22
AUTHORIZE AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH TRINITY SOURCE GROUP, INC.

FOR REMEDIATION OF GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION AT 951 DEL MONTE AVENUE TO INCREASE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT FROM $996,195 TO $1,056,160 ***CIP***
WHEREAS, in January 2014, the City received a letter from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) outlining its desired “Pathway to Closure” for City property 951 Del Monte Avenue, which has legacy underground pollutant concentrations of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and associated biodegradation products remaining in the groundwater from the former dry cleaning use and associated operations at this location historically; RWQCB staff emphasized the need for the City to explore different pathways to cleanup than had been previously proposed by the responsible parties. The RWQCB indicated their eagerness for the City to complete this remediation project in the most time- and cost-efficient manner as possible and desired to work with the City to better direct the effort; WHEREAS, working with Trinity Source Group, Inc. and in cooperation with RWQCB expert staff, City developed a groundwater Remedial Action Plan (RAP) that was finalized in March 2015, and the City subsequently requested and received Coastal Commission approval, RWQCB Concurrence with the Corrective Action Plan and General Waiver Enrollment, Monterey County Environmental Health permits and proceeded with field remediation activities and monitoring efforts;
WHEREAS, in 2016 and 2019, the City performed the two reagent injection (in-situ treatment) events into the ground at the site, and post-injection groundwater monitoring at the site over time is demonstrating treatment success with substantial reductions in the PCE plumes observed underground;
WHEREAS, the Groundwater Contaminant Remedial Action Plan for 951 Del Monte Avenue Capital Improvement Project (CIP) has been funded $1,261,800 from the General Fund through Fiscal Year (FY) 2023;
WHEREAS, of the $1,261,800 appropriated to CIP 33c1454 to-date, approximately $996,195 has been allocated to Trinity Source Group, Inc. (TSG) to complete Phases I, II, and portions of Phase III environmental services with significant reductions in the groundwater pollutants at the site;
WHEREAS, as a result of the underground injections/treatment of the contaminant plumes in 2016 and 2019 with reagent, the contaminant plumes have substantially reduced in extent and concentration with significant pollutant reduction trends demonstrating successful City site clean-up efforts per the RAP-prescribed actions at the site per SWRCB directive, and thus the anticipated start of regulatory site closure discussions and activities; WHEREAS, the City has performed project cost and task refinement to arrive at a continued Phase III cost estimate of $59,965, which will accomplish post-remediation groundwater monitoring, data analyses, well demolition bid package development and Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 7., Item Page 6, Packet Page 50 2 documentation, and continued regulatory reporting and coordination, project management and meetings, and assist the City with the start of regulatory site closure discussions; WHEREAS, the City is the Lead Agency for the Project, and thus has the principal responsibility for carrying out and approving the Project. Accordingly, the City filed and posted a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration according to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15072. The NOI, Draft Initial Study, and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) were submitted to the Office of Planning and Research State Clearinghouse (SCH# 2015091082) and circulated for public review for the required 30-day minimum public review period from September 30, 2015 to October 30, 2015 (CEQA Section 15073), during which time all related documents were made available at the Monterey City Hall (Planning Office and City Clerk Office) and on the City’s website. The City also mailed the Notice of Intent to owners and occupants of properties contiguous to and within a 300-foot radius from the project location. The IS/MND identified potentially significant environmental impacts that were reduced to less than significant with mitigation; the mitigation measures were listed in the IS/MND, and in a mitigation monitoring program. On April 19, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution 16-061 adopting the project Mitigated Negative Declaration, and thereafter, a Notice of Determine was filed with the Monterey County Clerk.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY that it hereby authorizes amendment 6 to the agreement with Trinity Source Group, Inc. for Remediation of Groundwater Contamination at 951 Del Monte Avenue to increase the contract amount from $996,195 to $1,056,160, an increase to the contract of $59,965.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY that the above recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated and adopted as findings of the City Council as if fully set forth herein.

Agenda Report
№07/19
FROM: Andrea Renny, PE, PTOE, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Tricia Wotan, CFM, Environmental Regulations Manager SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Enter into a Grant Agreement with the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and Authorize an Increase of FY23 Revenue and Appropriation of $25,000 in Grant Reimbursement Funds to the Urban Stormwater Diversion Project in the Capital Projects Fund ***CIP*** (Exempt from CEQA, Article 19, Section 15306, Class 6)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt the attached resolution:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to enter into a grant agreement with the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (“MPWMD”) to accept a $25,000 reimbursable grant; and,

2. Authorizing the Finance Director, or her designee, to increase FY23 revenue and appropriate $25,000 from grant reimbursement funds to the Capital Projects Fund, Urban Stormwater Diversion Project (CIP2310) (“Project”). This appropriation is fully funded by grant reimbursements.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Protect and preserve our natural environment by addressing climate change through ecologically responsible and pragmatic solutions.

Champion regional and local efforts to secure adequate, affordable, and sustainable water sources for the city, now and into the future.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

This action is consistent with the City Council’s strategic priorities to protect our environment and secure water sources.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The City of Monterey applied for and was awarded a competitive grant from the MPWMD in the amount of $25,000 to perform development work for the Olivier Street Stormwater Diversion Project (Project), also referred to as Lighthouse Tunnel Diversion Project and Monterey Tunnel Stormwater Diversion Project. The proposed action is to accept and appropriate $25,000 in grant funds to the Urban Stormwater Diversion Project (CIP2310) in the Capital Improvement Program. This appropriation is fully funded by grant reimbursements.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey Planning Office determined the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Article 19, Section 15306, Class 6) because the project would involve data collection and research, which would not result in a serious or Date: 12/6/2022
Item No.: 8.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 8., Item Page 1, Packet Page 52 major disturbance to an environmental resource. Specifically, the scope of work would involve the retention of a surveyor to develop a survey plan and report identifying property and utility details, easements, and ownership potential (new) stormwater diversion pipe(s) connecting a City storm drain utility manhole to a City sanitary sewer manhole or pipe. This research would help determine potential new storm drain and sanitary sewer infrastructure locations.

Furthermore, the project does not qualify for any of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions founds at CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

Exception a - Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located -a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. The project would involve data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities that would not result in serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Exception b - Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. There would be no cumulative impact because the project involves data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities.

Exception c - Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. No unusual circumstances are anticipated as the project would involve data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities that would not result in serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Exception d - Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The project would would involve data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities; therefore, the project would not impact scenic resources.

Exception e - Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. The project would involve data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities; therefore, no impact to sites included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government code would occur.

Exception f - Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. The project involves data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities; therefore, there would be no impacts to historical resources.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 8., Item Page 2, Packet Page 53 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Council could decide not to accept and appropriate the grant funds; however, without the appropriation of funds, the City will be unable to fund this portion of the Project.

DISCUSSION:

On October 17, 2022, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District approved the City’s grant application for the Olivier Street Stormwater Diversion Project development costs in the amount of $25,000.

The Project will divert urban drainage from an existing storm drain, currently discharging untreated to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, to an existing City sanitary sewer utility for treatment at Monterey One Water Regional Treatment Plant. This diversion would provide 10 to 12 acre-feet of dry weather source water for water recycling at the time of year when source water is not abundant, and reduce point source discharges from a Disadvantaged Community area.

In September 2022 the Project was selected by the Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Group to include in its Proposition 1 IRWM Implementation Round 2 Grant (IRWM Grant) application. The IRWM Grant application is due February 2023. Because dry weather source water is important for recycled water supply, MPWMD and Monterey One Water staff have been assisting with development of this important dry-weather diversion project.

The work to be funded by this MPWMD grant includes clarifying existing structure and utility locations, existence of utility easements, and whether California State Parks and other property owner(s) may be impacted by the proposed diversion pipe alignments. Determining the complexity of any land-related easements and approvals needed in a timely manner is necessary to better estimate engineering design and environmental review costs required for the IRWM Grant application.

The grant funding will supplement General Funds allocated for the Urban Stormwater Diversion Project as part of the FY23 Capital Improvement Program (Reso 22-135). This CIP was created to jumpstart community efforts (and local matching funds) to pursue multiple City water projects prioritized regionally for implementation and in support of the Council’s water supply value driver. Accordingly, this CIP will partially fund various tasks to energize these efforts, but necessitates other funding streams such as grants to support each water project through to fruition. To this end, staff have been working with other agency and legislative partners to align these projects with other local and state funding opportunities now and into the future to support drought-resilience and new water sources.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to enter into a grant agreement with the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (“MPWMD”) to accept a $25,000 reimbursable grant; and,

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 10., Item Page 1, Packet Page 64 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

There are no alternatives to consider.

DISCUSSION:

On June 7, 2022, Council adopted Resolution 22-066, awarding the purchase of four (4) 2022 Ford Police SUV Interceptors to be purchased from National Fleet Auto Group, a Division of Chevrolet of Watsonville, CA under the Sourcewell Contract number 091521-NAF. Due to a national police vehicle industry shortage, the acquisitions were rolled over from vehicle model year 2022 to vehicle model year 2023, resulting in a price increase of $33,504.52. This additional cost exceeds the amount previously authorized in Resolution 22-066. There is sufficient funding available in the equipment replacement fund.

Therefore, staff recommends that Council adopt the attached resolution ratifying payment to National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of four (4) 2023 Ford Police SUV Interceptors for an additional cost of $33,504.52, in addition to the contract value authorized in Resolution 22-066.

WHEREAS, on June 7, 2022, Council adopted Resolution 22-066, awarding a contract to National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of four (4) 2022 Ford Police SUV Interceptors in the amount of $209,442.36;
WHEREAS, due to a national police vehicle industry shortage, acquisitions were rolled over from vehicle model year 2022 to vehicle model year 2023, resulting in a price increase of $33,504.52;
WHEREAS, the additional cost exceeds the contract amount previously authorized in Resolution 22-066;
WHEREAS, the requested authorization is fully funded through the equipment replacement fund;
WHEREAS, the City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project.

FROM: Gaudenz Panholzer, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Designate the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Finance Director as Agents for the City of Monterey to Act on Behalf of the City for the Purpose of Obtaining Financial Disaster Assistance (Not a Project under CEQA Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061) RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council designate the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Finance Director by name and title as agents for the City of Monterey to act on behalf of the City for the purpose of obtaining financial disaster assistance.

VALUE DRIVER:

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

This action is consistent with policy to seek City Council approval for staff to act as agents for the City to obtain financial disaster assistance.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Designating agents to act on behalf of the City to obtain financial assistance in the event of a disaster has no direct fiscal implications. In the future, this action will enable the designated agents to file for disaster relief assistance from the State of California and the federal government that could result in recouping moneys expended in disaster mitigation and recovery efforts.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, Date: 12/6/2022
Item No.: 11.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 11., Item Page 1, Packet Page 68 this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council could designate Authorized Agents by titles only and not their names. This allows the document to remain valid if an Authorized Agent leaves the position and is replaced by another individual.

Also, the City could choose not to designate agents for the City of Monterey to act on behalf of the City for the purpose of obtaining financial disaster assistance. This is not recommended as the City could miss out on significant future cost recoveries should a disaster occur.

DISCUSSION:

The California Office of Emergency Services requires cities to designate personnel to act on behalf of the city to apply for State and Federal financial assistance in the event of a disaster.

This action is required in the form of a resolution of the Council which is good for a period of three years. The City of Monterey last made such a designation in November 2019. Due to several changes in staff since that time, and it has been three years, a new resolution is appropriate at this time.

Staff recommends that the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Finance Director are designated as agents for the City of Monterey to act on behalf of the City for the purpose of obtaining financial disaster assistance. The authorized agents are listed by name and title only and a new Cal OES Form 130 will be required if any of the Authorized Agents are replaced, leave the position listed on the document, or their title changes.

WHEREAS, the City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378).

Cal OES Form 130
Instructions
A new Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution is required if the previously submitted document is older than three (3) years from the last date of Board/Council approval.

When completing the Cal OES Form 130, Subrecipients should fill in the blanks on page 1. The blanks are to be filled in as follows:

Resolution Section:

Governing Body: This is the individual or group responsible for appointing and approving the Authorized Agents. Examples include: Board of Directors, City Council, Board of Supervisors, etc.

Name of Subrecipient: This is the official name of the non-profit, agency, city, county or special district that has applied for the grant.

There are two ways of completing this section:

1. Titles Only: If the Governing Body so chooses, the titles of the Authorized Agents should be entered here, not their names. This allows the document to remain valid if an Authorized Agent leaves the position and is replaced by another individual. If “Titles Only” is the chosen method, this document must be accompanied by a cover letter naming the Authorized Agents by name and title. This cover letter can be completed by any authorized person within the agency (e.g.; City Clerk, the Authorized Agent, Secretary to the Director) and does not require the Governing Body’s signature.

2. Names and Titles: If the Governing Body so chooses, the names and titles of the Authorized Agents should be listed. A new Cal OES Form 130 will be required if any of the Authorized Agents are replaced, leave the position listed on the document or their title changes.

FROM: Karen Larson, Parks and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Amend Resolution 22-135 to Include the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program Grant Project in the Capital Improvement Program Budget and Authorize an Increase in FY23 Revenue and an Appropriation of $177,952 in Grant Reimbursement Funds to the Project in the Capital Projects Fund ***CIP*** (Not a Project Under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and Under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061) RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending Resolution 22-135, the Capital Improvement Projects budget, to include the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (“Program”) Grant Project (“Project”) and authorizing the Finance Director, or her designee, to increase FY23 revenue and appropriate $177,952 in grant reimbursement funds to the Project in the Capital Projects Fund (“Project”). This appropriation is fully funded by grant reimbursements.

VALUE DRIVERS:

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Awarded through the Program, the competitive grant program creates new parks and new recreation opportunities in underserved communities across California. This Program originates from Assembly Bill 31 (2008) and was funded by Propositions extended by Propositions 84 (2006) and 68 (2018) Bond Acts. The Program allocates funds for local park rehabilitation, creation, and improvement grants to local governments on a per capita basis. Grant recipients are encouraged to utilize awards to rehabilitate existing infrastructure and to address deficiencies in neighborhoods lacking access to the outdoors.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The State of California’s Parks and Recreation Department awarded the City $177,952 through its Per Capita Grant to fund eligible improvements to the Monterey Sports Center without any type of match funding for the City, thus saving the City from using its general fund revenues.

The proposed action is to appropriate $177,952 in grant funds to the City’s Project (Prop68) in the Capital Improvement Program. This appropriation is fully funded by grant reimbursements.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 12., Item Page 1, Packet Page 74 rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council could choose not to appropriate the funds that will be reimbursed by the State grant; however, without the appropriation of funds, the City is unable to proceed with the project.

DISCUSSION:

On December 21, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution 21-131, approving the application for Per Capita Grant funds and authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all contract and related documents to receive and administer the grant funds. The City was awarded $177, 985 to fund eligible improvements to the Monterey Sports Center without any type of matching funding for the City, thus saving the City from using its General Fund revenues.

The Grant will prioritize improvement projects at the Monterey Sports Center. Projects for consideration include, but are not limited to, repairing or replacing the natatorium water slide stairs; replace the entrance door to the Sports Center and the doors to the natatorium, as well as replace the damaged windows in Studio II.

The Monterey Sports Center opened in 1992 and recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. It is the largest and most complete family fitness facility on the Monterey Peninsula. It serves as a model facility for other cities throughout the state with its programs and services, fostering the health and wellness of the community. The City of Monterey has an unyielding commitment to ensuring it is safe and enjoyable for all facility users and wishes to use this State grant funding opportunity.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending Resolution 22-135 to Include the Project in the Capital Improvement Program and authorizing the Finance Director, or her designee, to increase FY23 revenue and appropriate $177,952 from grant reimbursement funds.

FROM: Karen Larson, Parks and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Enter into a Grant Agreement with the Monterey Peninsula Foundation; Amend Resolution 22-135 to Include the Sollecito Ballpark Improvements Project and Authorize an Increase in FY23 Revenue and an Appropriation of $100,000 in Grant Funds to the Sollecito Ballpark Improvements Project in the Capital Projects Fund ***CIP*** (Exempt from CEQA, Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt the attached resolution:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to enter into a grant agreement to accept a $100,000 grant from the Monterey Peninsula Foundation;

2. Amending Resolution 22-135 to include the Sollecito Ballpark Improvements Project; and,

3. Authorizing the Finance Director, or her designee, to increase FY23 revenue by $100,000 and appropriate $100,000 from grant funds to the Sollecito Ballpark Improvements Project in the Capital Projects Fund.

VALUE DRIVERS:

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

This action supports the Strategic Priority to “identify and seek grant funding opportunities for City services and infrastructure, including parks, recreation, library, museums, public safety, fire prevention and planning.”
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The Monterey Peninsula Foundation awarded the City $100,000 to fund eligible improvements to Sollecito Ballpark without any type of matching funds from the City, thus saving the City from using its general fund revenues. The proposed action is to accept and appropriate $100,000 in grant funds to the Sollecito Ballpark Improvements Project in the Capital Improvement Program.

This appropriation is fully funded by the grant.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey Planning Office determined the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1) because the project involves the repair and maintenance of existing facilities at Sollecito Ballpark, specifically the repair or installation of turf on the pitchers’ mound, bases and home plate, and potentially some improvements to dugouts. Furthermore, the project does not qualify for any of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions founds at CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.

Date: 12/6/2022
Item No.: 13.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 13., Item Page 1, Packet Page 78 Exception a - Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located -a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. Exception a – Location – does not apply to projects which are exempt under Class 1.

Exception b - Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. There would be no cumulative impact because the project involves the repair and maintenance of existing facilities at Sollecito Ballpark.

Exception d - Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The project involves the repair and maintenance of existing facilities at Sollecito Ballpark.

Exception e - Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. The proposed improvements would involve the the repair and maintenance of existing facilities at Sollecito Ballpark. No impact to sites included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government code would occur.

Exception f - Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. The project site is located in a high sensitivity area on the Archeological Sensitivity Map of the General Plan (Figure 8). The project would not involve digging into native soil; therefore, there would be not impact to archeological resources.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council could choose not to receive and appropriate the funds that will be provided by the grant; however, without the appropriation of funds, the City is unable to proceed with the project.

DISCUSSION:

Programs at Sollecito Ballpark
Sollecito Ballpark is the largest City of Monterey multi-use field. The artificial turf allows for as many playable days as possible enabling usage of over 300 days per year with an attendance of over 75,000. This field is used year-round for multiple co-ed recreational programs such as Youth Baseball Clinics, Pee Wee/Junior Flag Football League, Youth Track and Field Camp, Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 13., Item Page 2, Packet Page 79 Youth Soccer Camp, Youth Flag Football Camp, Baseball Camp, Softball Camp Adult Softball League, Adult 30+ Baseball League, and Ultimate Frisbee.

The field serves Recreation Division participants of all ages and genders from Pee Wee programs with youngsters 4-5 years of age to adult sports leagues with individuals 65 years or older. In addition, sports offered through Monterey Peninsula Unified School District, PONY Baseball/Softball, local schools, youth and adult sports organizations also serve more individuals from a wide variety of demographics and geographic locations. Sollecito Ballpark serves as the home field for the Monterey High School baseball team and the Monterey Amberjacks Pecos League of Independent Baseball.

Sollecito Ballpark Improvements Project
The field is in great need of repair, especially the pitcher’s mound. Currently the clay on the mound is creating a maintenance issue and clogging the turf area around the mound. Also, the areas around bases 1-3 are worn, with first base being in the worst condition requiring sand to fill in the holes and keep the areas playable. Home plate needs some additional maintenance as well, especially in the area for right-handed batters. Upgrades to the dugouts such as appropriate fencing, upgraded seating, as well as bat and helmet storage would improve safety and usability to multiple user groups of all ages and abilities. The repairs and upgrades to home plate, pitchers’ mound, bases and dugouts will retain player safety, improve maintenance costs, and promote active lifestyles for people of all ages.

Monterey Peninsula Foundation Grant
The Monterey Peninsula Foundation awarded the City $100,000 to fund the improvements to the Sollecito Ballpark listed above without any type of matching funds from the City, thus saving the City from using its General Fund revenues.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to enter into a grant agreement to accept a $100,000 grant from the Monterey Peninsula Foundation;

2. Amending Resolution 22-135 to include the Sollecito Ballpark Improvements Project; and,

3. Authorizing the Finance Director, or her designee, to increase FY23 revenue by $100,000 and appropriate $100,00 from grant funds to the Sollecito Ballpark Improvements Project in the Capital Projects Fund.

WHEREAS, on October 4, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 22-135 approving the Fiscal Year 2023 Capital Improvement Program Budget; WHEREAS, the Monterey Peninsula Foundation awarded the City $100,00 to fund eligible improvements to Sollecito Ballpark without any type of matching funds from the City, thus saving the City from using its general fund revenues; and, WHEREAS, the City of Monterey Planning Office determined the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1) because the project involves the repair and maintenance of existing facilities at Sollecito Ballpark, specifically the repair or installation of turf on the pitchers mound, bases and home plate, and potentially some improvements to dugouts. Furthermore, the project does not qualify for any of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions founds at CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.

Exception a - Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located -a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. Exception a – Location – does not apply to projects which are exempt under Class 1.

Exception b - Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. There would be no cumulative impact because the project involves the repair and maintenance of existing facilities at Sollecito Ballpark.

Exception d - Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 13., Item Page 4, Packet Page 81 2 negative declaration or certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The project involves the repair and maintenance of existing facilities at Sollecito Ballpark.

Exception e - Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. The proposed improvements would involve the the repair and maintenance of existing facilities at Sollecito Ballpark. No impact to sites included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government code would occur.

Exception f - Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. The project site is located in a high sensitivity area on the Archeological Sensitivity Map of the General Plan (Figure 8). The project would not involve digging into native soil; therefore, there would be not impact to archeological resources.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY that it hereby:

1. Authorizes the City Manager to enter into a grant agreement with the Monterey Peninsula Foundation;

2. Amends Resolution 22-135 to include the Sollecito Ballpark Improvements Project; and,

3. Authorizes the Finance Director, or her designee, to increase FY23 revenue by $100,000 and appropriate $100,000 in grant funds to the Sollecito Ballpark Improvements Project in the Capital Projects Fund. This appropriation is fully funded by the grant.

Agenda Report
№06/11
FROM: Christine Davi, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Receive Ocean View Community Services District Quarterly Report (Not a Project under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the Community Services District Board of Directors receive a report on the Ocean View Community Services District.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Monterey approved the Ocean View Plaza Project (“Project”) located at 457, 465, 470, 484, 565, and 570 Cannery Row in June 2004. Subsequently, the City of Monterey requested that the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) review the establishment of a Community Services District (CSD) for the project site that would own, operate, and maintain the proposed desalination plant once constructed. This CSD was formed pursuant to Community Services District Law (Government Code section 61000 et seq.,) to own and operate a desalination plant to provide residential and commercial water to the Project.

LAFCO adopted Resolution No. 05-27 on December 27, 2005, approving the formation of this CSD. The Monterey City Council was subsequently appointed as the District Board and must meet quarterly according to requirements of Government Code section 61044.

In November 2019, the California Coastal Commission denied requests for coastal development permit extensions. The Coastal Commission voted that there were changed circumstances from its original coastal development permit issued in 2008 related to water supply and coastal hazards/sea level rise.

Date: 12/6/2022
Item No.: 14.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 14., Item Page 1, Packet Page 83 In January 2020, Ruby Falls Fund, LLC, sued the Coastal Commission over its denial of the permit extension request as described in Monterey County Superior Court Case No. 20CV000165. On November 30, 2021, AquaLegacy Development LLC intervened in that action, which has been stayed pending resolution of the appeals in related litigation in Monterey County Superior Court Case No. 16CV001078, in which the court entered a judgment on March 4, 2021 that AquaLegacy is vested with title to the property. The appeals are pending.

The City originally approved the vesting tentative map for the project on June 1, 2004. The map approval has been extended by operation of law to June 1, 2025, and may be further tolled. cc: Save Our Waterfront, 781 Terry Street, Monterey, CA 93940 Cannery Row Association

№08/22
FROM: Nat Rojanasathira, Assistant City Manager
Prepared by: Clementine Bonner Klein, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Review Qualified Applications Received and Provide Direction to Staff on the Process to Fill Current At-Large Short-Term City Council Seat Vacancy (Not a Project under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and General Rule Article 5 Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receive and review all qualified applications received for the at-large, short-term Council vacancy, and provide direction to staff on its preferred method of filling the vacancy.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Foster a local government that is transparent and collaborative; and solicits, welcomes and appreciates input from all.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Monterey Charter Sec. 2.5, “Vacancies,” provides: “A vacancy in an elective office shall be filled by appointment by the Council, such appointee to hold office until the next General Municipal Election and until a successor is elected and installed. Should the Council fail to fill any such vacancy within forty (40) days after the same occurs, then it shall be filled by appointment by the Mayor. Such successor shall be elected for the unexpired term of his/her predecessor at the General Municipal Election next succeeding such appointment.” FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

There is no fiscal impact that would result from filling the City Council vacancy by appointment.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Date: 12/6/2022
Item No.: 15.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 15., Item Page 1, Packet Page 85 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The Council has numerous options for action, or no action, regarding appointment as discussed below.

DISCUSSION:

Vacancy
As discussed at the regular meeting on November 1, 2022, Monterey Charter section 2.8 provides that the term of any Councilmember who files for the office of Mayor shall automatically expire on the date of the election. Because of this provision, the term of former Councilmember Dan Albert, who appeared on the November 8, 2022 ballot as a candidate for Mayor, was vacated effective November 9, 2022. The seat was vacated two years into Mr. Albert’s four-year term and must be filled by appointment pursuant to Monterey Charter section 2.5. The appointee to the vacant at-large City Council seat must reside within, and be registered to vote in, the City of Monterey at the time of appointment. (Charter sec. 2.2 and CA Elections Code sec. 201) Timeline
 November 8, 2022 – Election Day
 November 9, 2022 – At-Large Short-Term City Council seat vacated  December 6, 2022 – Election certification and swearing-in of elected candidates1  December 19, 2022 – Last day for City Council to appoint to fill the At-Large Short-Term City Council seat
 December 20, 2022 or thereafter – If City Council has not appointed, Mayor shall appoint to fill At-Large Short-Term City Council seat (Charter Sec. 2.5) Application Process and Outreach
At the regular meeting of November 1, 2022, the City Council discussed the Charter-imposed 40-day deadline for the Council to appoint to fill the vacancy, and the resulting time crunch relating to numerous holidays and the expected date of the election certification. Factoring in these realities, the Council directed staff to open an applications process, with applications based on the City’s current boards and commissions application, and an additional requirement to collect 20 nominating signatures of registered Monterey voters, and to present all qualified applications to the newly seated 2022-2024 City Council in early December for consideration and interviews.

Staff conducted the application process as directed. A blank copy of the application packet with sample nomination paper is included as Attachment 1.

Outreach conducted to ensure awareness of the vacancy and application process included publication of an informational website at https://haveyoursaymonterey.org/councilvacancy2022 with instructions and information in English and Spanish, issuance of press releases in English and Spanish, multiple informational posts in City newsletters and social media accounts, notice posting in the physical agenda case and in the legal notice and news sections of the Monterey Herald, and discussion by City Manager Hans Uslar in his “Monterey Mornings with the Manager” series on YouTube. The vacancy application process was covered in the Monterey 1 Charter Sec. 2.4, “Canvass of Returns,” provides: “The Council of said City shall meet at its usual meeting place at the first regular or adjourned meeting following certification of the election results of any municipal election and duly canvass the returns and declare the results thereof.” Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 15., Item Page 2, Packet Page 86 Herald and the Monterey County Weekly. The City Clerk’s Office received many inquiries from residents.

As directed, the application period opened on the effective date of the vacancy, November 9, 2022, and ended on Monday, November 28, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. (noon). By the end of the application period:
 20 Monterey voters were issued application packets;
 12 applications were received by the deadline with 20 or more voter signatures;  11 submitted applications qualified for Council consideration following voter signature verification by Monterey County Elections and are included as Attachments 2 through 12 in alphabetical order by last name.

Appointment Options
The City Council has the authority to appoint an individual to fill the vacancy by a majority vote.

This action may be taken at any public meeting by December 19, 2022, and thereafter the Mayor shall appoint to fill it.

Review methods that the City Council may use to ascertain applicants’ suitability for office include: (1) appointing an ad-hoc committee (two City Councilmembers) to hold private or public interviews and provide recommendations to the City Council. If the ad-hoc committee holds meetings that are open to the public, other members of the City Council would not be able to attend due to the Brown Act; (2) receiving presentations from the candidates in a City Council meeting; and/or (3) interviewing the candidates during a City Council meeting. Interviews will not take place on December 6, 2022, but members of the public may speak on the agenda item. .

Applicant review and appointment methods used in recent years by other California cities, as well as questions asked of vacancy applicants in other cities, are provided as Attachments 13 and 14 for reference.

Staff-Recommended Interview Questions
When interviews take place, Staff recommends asking candidates up to four questions:

1. What are your top three priorities for the City and what do you plan to do as a councilmember to achieve them?

2. How would you address a situation where your personal philosophy or popular opinion in the district in which you reside may be at odds with what is best for the City?

3. The City’s financial position requires the City to continue its Fiscal Health Response Plan strategies, some of which include operational reductions or services where appropriate, addressing pension liability, and investing in aging facilities. What approach would you take as a councilmember to address these issues when community members demand restoring services and new projects that the City may not be able to afford?

4. Serving on the City Council is a significant time commitment. Public officials often attend and participate in meetings and engage with constituents during business hours, evenings, and weekends. What is your approach to engaging with constituents and balancing other commitments?
Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 15., Item Page 3, Packet Page 87 In the interest of time, the City Council may ask fewer questions, or other questions as long as they are within the bounds of the law (e.g., do not ask questions about marital status, religion, or other protected classes, etc.).

Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and review all qualified applications received for the at-large, short-term Council vacancy, and provide direction to staff on its preferred method of filling the vacancy.

del Ayuntamiento
№08/22
DE: Nat Rojanasathira, asistente del administrador municipal Presentado por: Clementine Bonner Klein, secretaria municipal ASUNTO: Revisar las solicitudes calificadas recibidas, y proporcionar instrucciones al personal sobre el proceso de cubrir la vacante actual de un puesto a corto plazo en el ayuntamiento (no es un proyecto bajo la Ley de Calidad Ambiental de California, (CEQA, por sus siglas en inglés) según el artículo 20, sección 15378 y el artículo 5, sección 15061 del reglamento general)
RECOMENDACIÓN:

Que el ayuntamiento reciba y revise todas las solicitudes calificadas recibidas para la vacante del ayuntamiento a corto plazo, y dé instrucciones al personal sobre el método preferido para cubrir la vacante.

IMPULSOR DE VALORES:

Fomentar un gobierno local que sea transparente y colaborador, y que solicite, acoja y aprecie las aportaciones de todos.

IMPLICACIONES POLÍTICAS:

La sección 2.5, “Vacantes”, del estatuto de Monterey establece que: “una vacante en una oficina electoral será cubierta por nombramiento por el ayuntamiento, la persona nombrada ejercerá su cargo hasta la próxima elección municipal general y hasta que un sucesor sea elegido e instalado. Si el ayuntamiento falla en llenar dicha vacante dentro de los cuarenta (40) días posteriores a su acontecimiento, entonces será cubierta por nombramiento por el alcalde.

Dicho sucesor será elegido para el plazo restante de su predecesor en la elección municipal general que le siga al mencionado nombramiento”.

IMPLICACIONES FISCALES:

No hay ningún impacto fiscal que resulte por cubrir la vacante del ayuntamiento por nombramiento.

RESOLUCIÓN AMBIENTAL:

La ciudad de Monterey determinó que la acción propuesta no es un proyecto según la definición de la Ley de Calidad Ambiental de California (CEQA) (Código de regulaciones de California, (CCR, por sus siglas en inglés) título 14, capítulo 3 (Directrices de la CEQA), artículo 20, sección 15378). Además, la sección 15061 de las directrices de la CEQA incluye la norma general que consiste en que la CEQA solo se aplica para actividades que tienen el potencial de causar un efecto significante en el ambiente. Cuando se puede apreciar con certeza que no hay posibilidad alguna de que la actividad en cuestión pueda tener un efecto significativo sobre el ambiente, la actividad no está sujeta a la CEQA. Ya que la acción propuesta y este asunto no tienen potencial de causar ningún efecto sobre el ambiente, o debido a que entra dentro de una categoría de actividades excluidas como proyectos de acuerdo con la sección 15378 de las directrices de la CEQA, este asunto no es un proyecto. Debido a que el asunto no causa un Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 15., Item Page 5, Packet Page 89 cambio directo o un cambio físico indirecto que sea razonablemente previsible sobre o en el ambiente, este asunto no es un proyecto. Cualquier proyecto discrecional posterior resultante de esta acción será evaluado para determinar la aplicabilidad de la CEQA.

ALTERNATIVAS CONSIDERADAS:

El ayuntamiento dispone de numerosas opciones para actuar o no actuar en relación con el nombramiento, como se expone a continuación.

DISCUSIÓN:

Vacante
Como se discutió en la reunión ordinaria del 1 de noviembre de 2022, la sección 2.8 del estatuto de Monterey establece que el plazo que tiene cualquier concejal que se presente como candidato para el cargo de alcalde, expirará automáticamente en la fecha de la elección.

Debido a esta disposición, el plazo del exconcejal Dan Albert, quién apareció en la boleta electoral del 8 de noviembre de 2022 como candidato a la alcaldía, quedó vacante a partir del 9 de noviembre de 2022. El puesto quedó vacante a los dos años dentro del plazo de cuatro años del Sr. Albert, y debe ser cubierto por nombramiento de acuerdo con la sección 2.5 del estatuto de Monterey. La persona nombrada para el puesto vacante del ayuntamiento debe residir y estar registrada para votar en la ciudad de Monterey en el momento del nombramiento. (Sección

2.2 del estatuto y sección 201 del código electoral de California) Cronograma
 8 de noviembre de 2022: día de elecciones
 9 de noviembre de 2022: queda vacante el puesto general en el ayuntamiento a corto plazo
 6 de diciembre de 2022: certificación de la elección y juramento de los candidatos elegidos1
 19 de diciembre de 2022: último día para que el ayuntamiento nombre a la persona designada a cubrir del puesto vacante del ayuntamiento a corto plazo.  20 de diciembre de 2022 o después: si el ayuntamiento no ha hecho el nombramiento, el alcalde deberá hacerlo para cubrir el puesto del ayuntamiento a corto plazo (sección 2.5 del estatuto)
Proceso de solicitud y difusión
En la reunión ordinaria del 1 de noviembre de 2022, el ayuntamiento discutió sobre el plazo de 40 días impuesto por el estatuto para que el ayuntamiento nombrara a alguien para cubrir la vacante, la resultante escasez de tiempo relacionada con los numerosos días festivos y la fecha prevista para la certificación de las elecciones. Tomando en cuenta estas realidades, el ayuntamiento le ordenó al personal que abriera el proceso de solicitudes, con solicitudes basadas en la aplicación actual de las juntas y las comisiones de la ciudad, y un requisito adicional para recolectar 20 firmas de nominación de los votantes registrados de Monterey para presentar todas las solicitudes cualificadas al nuevo ayuntamiento de 2022-2024, a principios de diciembre para su consideración y realización de entrevistas. 1 Sección 2.4 del estatuto, “Escrutinio de los resultados”, establece que: “El ayuntamiento de dicha ciudad se reunirá en su lugar de reunión habitual en la primera reunión ordinaria o aplazada después de la certificación de los resultados electorales de cualquier elección municipal y escrutará debidamente los resultados para proceder a declararlos”.

Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 15., Item Page 6, Packet Page 90 El personal llevó a cabo el proceso como fue indicado. En el anexo 1 está incluida una copia en blanco del paquete de solicitud con un modelo del papel de nominación.

La difusión realizada para garantizar el conocimiento del puesto de la vacante y el proceso de solicitud están incluidas en una publicación de un sitio web informativo en:
https://haveyoursaymonterey.org/councilvacancy2022 con instrucciones e información en inglés y español, emisiones de comunicados de prensa en inglés y español, múltiples publicaciones informativas en los boletines y las cuentas de redes sociales de la ciudad, la publicación de avisos en el caso de la agenda física y en las secciones de noticias y avisos legales del Monterey Herald, y discusiones por parte del administrador municipal Hans Uslar en su serie “Monterey Mornings with the Manager” en YouTube. El proceso de solicitud de vacantes se cubrió en el Monterey Herald y en el Monterey County Weekly. La oficina de la secretaria municipal recibió muchas consultas de los residentes.

Como fue indicado, el plazo de la presentación de solicitudes se abrió en la fecha efectiva de la vacante, el 9 de noviembre de 2022, y finalizó el lunes 28 de noviembre de 2022, a las 12:00 p.m. (mediodía). Al final del período de solicitud:
 20 votantes de Monterey recibieron paquetes de solicitud;  Se recibieron 12 solicitudes antes de la fecha límite con 20 o más firmas de votantes;  11 solicitudes presentadas calificaron para ser consideradas por el ayuntamiento tras la verificación de las firmas de los votantes por parte de las elecciones del condado de Monterey y están incluidas como anexos 2 hasta el 12 en orden alfabético por apellido.

Opciones de nombramiento
El ayuntamiento tiene la autoridad de nombrar a un individuo para cubrir la vacante por mayoría de votos. Esta acción puede ser tomada en cualquier sesión pública antes del 19 de diciembre de 2022, y a partir de ese momento, el alcalde hará el nombramiento para cubrirla.

Los métodos de revisión que el ayuntamiento puede utilizar para determinar la idoneidad de los solicitantes incluyen: (1) nombrar un comité ad-hoc (dos concejales) para realizar entrevistas privadas o públicas y dar recomendaciones al ayuntamiento. Si el comité ad-hoc realiza reuniones abiertas al público, otros concejales no podrán asistir debido a la Ley Brown; (2) recibir las presentaciones de los solicitantes durante una reunión del ayuntamiento; y/o (3) hacerles entrevistas a los solicitantes durante una reunión del ayuntamiento. Las entrevistas no tendrán lugar el 6 de diciembre de 2022, pero los miembros del público podrán hablar sobre el tema de la agenda.

Los métodos de revisión y nombramiento de solicitantes utilizados en los últimos años por otras ciudades de California, así como las preguntas formuladas a los solicitantes de vacantes en otras ciudades, fueron proporcionadas como anexos 13 y 14 para su referencia.

Preguntas para las entrevistas recomendadas por el personal Al momento de realizar las entrevistas, el personal recomienda hacerles hasta cuatro preguntas a los solicitantes:

1. ¿Cuáles son sus tres prioridades principales para la ciudad y qué piensa hacer como concejales para alcanzarlas?

2. ¿Cómo abordaría una situación en la que su filosofía personal o la opinión popular en el distrito en el que reside puedan estar en desacuerdo con lo que es mejor para la Council Regular Meeting, 12/6/2022, Item No. 15., Item Page 7, Packet Page 91 ciudad?

3. La posición financiera de la ciudad requiere que la misma continúe con sus estrategias del plan de respuesta de salud fiscal, las cuales incluyen reducciones operativas o de servicios donde sea apropiado, abordando el tema del adeudo de las pensiones, e invirtiendo en las instalaciones envejecidas. ¿Qué enfoque adoptaría como concejal para abordar estas situaciones cuando los miembros de la comunidad exigen el restablecimiento de los servicios y los nuevos proyectos que la ciudad no puede permitirse?

4. Servir en el ayuntamiento es un compromiso de tiempo significativo. Los oficiales públicos asisten a menudo y participan en reuniones, interactúan con los electores durante el horario laboral, en las noches y los fines de semana. ¿Cuál es su estrategia para comprometerse con los electores y equilibrar otros compromisos? Por motivos de tiempo, el ayuntamiento podría hacer menos preguntas, u otras preguntas siempre y cuando estén dentro de los límites de la ley (por ejemplo, no hacer preguntas sobre el estado civil, religión u otras clases protegidas, etc.).

Recomendación
El personal recomienda que el ayuntamiento reciba y revise todas las solicitudes calificadas recibidas para la vacante del ayuntamiento a corto plazo y dé instrucciones al personal sobre el método preferido para cubrir la vacante.
