Attachments: mh.redistrict.mont_corr.ddm.pdf
Hello City Dividers,
This is a "concept" map of my interpretation of a
Community of Interest which is Economic Interests
and Opportunity Zones. Other than this one COI,
I see the entire city as having no other significant
local concentrations deserving particular identification as a Community of Interest.
My view is that the City Council and Administration
have a "hub-and-spoke" view of businesses, where
the "hub" is Downtown and everything else are "spokes".
The Downtown has an existing Specific Plan.
There is also documentation (level of seriousness unknown) for a Monterey Corridor, which extends business and
housing intents north from Main Ave. and South from Dunne.
This is desirable in my view so as to have cohesion of
business and residential development along the entire
length of Monterey. It also is my reaction to a comment from a Planning Commissioner who objected to certain
high-end retail being included in a south-city project
(on Montery between Watsonville and Oakwood School)
because it would compete with Downtown businesses.
This is the best I can do given the corseness
of the population units and their shapes.
Being that the districts do not balance in population,
this proposal can only convey a thought.
Shortening the corridor might allow more population-balanced although non-compact districts, but I really want us to think of Monterey as continuous from the north end of the city to the south end.

Community of Interest Worksheet
Redistricting Process in 2021-2022
Every ten years, local governments use new census data to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. This process, called redistricting, is important in ensuring that each Councilmember represents about the same number of constituents. Redistricting is done using U.S.
Census data, which is anticipated to be released around September 30, 2021. For the City of Morgan Hill, the redistricting process must be completed by April 17, 2022.
Your input is needed to redraw voting districts for Councilmembers, and one way you can participate is by assisting the City in developing a list of “communities of interest” or “COI” that can be utilized in the process to redraw district lines.
What do the existing council districts look like?
You can find an interactive map of the City’s current Councilmember districts here:
https://www.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=a18138a3131c4689975d24ebf3cb5ab5 What is a Community of Interest?
A Community of Interest is a group of people that: share common social or economic interests, live in a geographically definable area, and should be included within a single district for purposes of effective and fair representation in future elections.
There are some communities of interest that are considered “protected classes” in that they have rights through state or federal civil rights or voting rights laws. Some examples of protected classes in districting would be ethnic and racial minorities such as a concentration of Latinx, Asian, Black, or African American people.
There are other potential Communities of Interest that can also be considered in districting, such as: senior citizens, college students, people who live in a particular neighborhood, or even people who share concerns such as parents with young children, bicycle enthusiasts, topic interest group, etc. Communities of Interest do not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.
What You Can Do to Participate in the Process
1. Provide your comments on your community of interest. If you need additional space for your responses to the questions, then please feel free to attach a sheet of paper.
2. Please return the completed worksheet via email to [email protected] or pick up and drop off a hard copy to City Hall, City Clerk’s Office, 17575 Peak Ave. Alternatively, you may also complete the online form on our website www.MorganHillRedistricting2021.com.
3. Attend the City’s Community Workshops and Public Hearings. The most-up-to-date schedule is available on our website www.MorganHillRedistricting2021.com.

My resident address is located in the same district as my COI.
However I do t see how COIs can reasonably influence
redistricting since they span multiple districts. I think this approach is very confusing and has not been explained in clear enough terms for the community to respond in a valid manner.
4. What is the rationale

I have no rational because you haven’t provided the parameters by which I can effectively present an argument for or against.

My district in its current form looks to adequately represent homeowners with large properties. I don’t understand why the district are drawn the way they are.

The greatest landmarks are the 101, Monterey Road, Hale Avenue, going north to south. The closer one gets to the Monterey Road and 101 corridor, the more higher density housing, the greater the congestion, the greater the low income housing, the greater the concentration of the immigrant community comprised of Latinos, Asians, and many other ethnic groups, and the higher concentration of very low and low economic families.
The further one drives east or west from the Monterey Road Corridor, the greater concentration of high priced single family homes, less traffic congestions, wealthier communities. On the far west side of Morgan Hill, we see less industrial or business development, less congestions, less high density housing, less public housing, and more educated and higher social economic families.

4. What is the rationale
for your community of

describe how the

This question is not clear. But it is important to link community of interests together so that they may have a representative who shares their priorities and who will advocate for their priorities.
For example, the current plan to divide District B to make District D contiguous, will have a significant impact on the communities of interests for those citizens living in those districts. District B's citizens share a community of interests by their living close to or proximate to Monterey Road and the 101, which share common characteristics not shared by any other of the districts. To break it up and join the pieces to other districts will break up the community of interests for those two districts.
5. What do you like
about the current
district lines? What do
you dislike about the
current district lines?
The current district lines got it right. They aligned the community of interests of District B and at the same time maintained the community of interest shared by the other districts (A, C, D). That the population growth was pretty much equal among the 4 districts was a great outcome.
There is nothing that I dislike about the current district lines.
Given how the social economic distribution occurs within the city, I believe the current maps are the best.

3 Defining Neighborhoods &
Communities of Interest
Under the California Elections Code, “community of interest” has a very specific definition in the context of districting and redistricting cities and counties:
A “community of interest” is a population that shares common social or economic interests that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation.
Examples of Communities of Interest:
Apartment buildings, condominium complexes, homeowners’ associations, subdivisions
Specific plan areas or areas defined by the city for planning purposes Natural neighborhood dividing lines, such as highway or major roads, rivers, canals and/or hills
Areas around parks or schools
Other neighborhood landmarks
Areas that share issues, concerns, or problems
February 16, 2022

Beyond Definitions:
Working with Communities of Interest
1st Question: What defines your community?
Numbers only tell part of the story; how people see their own city matters. How do you define the geographic extent of your neighborhood or community?
2nd Question: Is it possible to keep this community together? Given a community’s population and location, and the Census geography, is it possible to keep this community together and create four contiguous districts with equal population?
3rd Question: Would this community benefit from being “included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation”? Or would it benefit more from having multiple representatives? Definitions of Communities of Interest may not include current district boundaries, relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.

(a) Following … each federal decennial census for a city whose council is already elected using district-based elections, the council shall, by ordinance or resolution, adopt boundaries for all of the council districts of the city so that the council districts shall be substantially equal in population as required by the United States Constitution. (1) Population equality shall be based on the total population of residents of the city as determined by the most recent federal decennial census for which the redistricting data described in Public Law 94-171 are available.… (b) The council shall adopt council district boundaries that comply with the United States Constitution, the California Constitution, and the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 (52 U.S.C. Sec. 10301 et seq.). (c) The council shall adopt district boundaries using the following criteria as set forth in the following order of priority:
(1) To the extent practicable, council districts shall be geographically contiguous. Areas that meet only at the points of adjoining corners are not contiguous. Areas that are separated by water and not connected by a bridge, tunnel, or regular ferry service are not contiguous.
(2) To the extent practicable, the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division. A “community of interest” is a population that shares common social or economic interests that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation. Communities of interest do not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates. (3) Council district boundaries should be easily identifiable and understandable by residents. To the extent practicable, council districts shall be bounded by natural and artificial barriers, by streets, or by the boundaries of the city. (4) To the extent practicable, and where it does not conflict with the preceding criteria in this subdivision, council districts shall be drawn to encourage geographical compactness in a manner that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant populations.
(d) The council shall not adopt council district boundaries for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against a political party. (e) For purposes of this article, “adopt” or “adoption” in regard to council district boundaries means the passage of an ordinance or resolution specifying those boundaries.

City Council Redistricting Workshop
Question: Can you define a community of interest?
Response: Under the FAIR MAPS ACT, a “’community of interest’ is a population that shares common social or economic interests that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation.” (Elections code 21601 (c)(2)) Federal courts have defined communities of interest as “distinctive units which share common concerns with respect to one or more identifiable features such as geography, demography, ethnicity, culture, socio-economic status or trade.” Carstens v. Lamm (D. Colo. 1982) 543 F.Supp. 68, 91 Academic journals define communities of interest as “geographical areas, such as neighborhoods of a city or regions of a state, where the residents have common political interests that do not necessarily coincide with the boundaries of a political subdivision, such as a city or county.” Question: Even if there is a defined community of interest, wouldn’t the population percentages play into the equation—meaning in District B, Latinos make up 26% of the population, thus it doesn’t meet the Gingles criteria of 50% plus one?
Response: Fair maps should respect communities of interest, regardless of the total minority population. However, a district in and of itself is not a community of interest. Communities of interest are those neighborhoods within a district that share common social or economic interests. The purpose is to not dilute the voting power within those neighborhoods.
The Gingles criteria are used to determine whether a map violates federal voting rights law by diluting overall minority voting power. In Morgan Hill there are no areas of the City where minority groups are sufficiently large and compact to constitute a majority in a single district. Therefore, the Gingles criteria cannot be met.
Question: Are council districts required to be geographically contiguous? Response: Yes. California Elections Code section 21601 requires maps to meet certain criteria and lists those criteria in order of priority (21601(c)).
The highest priority is that districts be contiguous (21601(c)(1)). The legislature recognized that there are certain cases in which districts cannot physically be contiguous—for example the Math Institute site off of Foothill Avenue. But where possible, districts must be contiguous, meaning they must share a common boundary. Separation of an area by a freeway does not break contiguity. Areas on either side of a freeway are contiguous.
Question: Does draft Map “NDC Green Map” represent the least changes while complying with the Voting Rights and Fair Maps acts?
Response: Yes.
Question: Which map(s) offers the most Latino voting strength? Response:
There are many factors that determine Latino voting strength - neighborhood cohesion, levels of community activism, presence of strong potential candidates, tendency of non-Latino voters in a given neighborhood to vote for the Latino-preferred candidates, etc. The Latino percentage of eligible is only one of those considerations, but it is not the controlling factor, especially when that percentage is nowhere near a plurality, much less a majority, of a district.
The current Council map has two districts where Latinos are 28% and 27% of total CVAP. NDC Yellow bumps the highest up to 32%, Public 105 takes it up to 33%, NDC 108 is at 29%, and Public 102 (although not population-balanced) is at 34%. NDC Green, Public 101, Public 103, Public 104, Public 106 and Public 107 are at 28%, while NDC Orange stays at 27%. Statistically, Public 105 is slightly higher in Latino CVAP but not significantly so, while the rest are statistically identical. One legal map has a majority-minority district by CVAP: Public 105. While "majority-minority" lacks the Voting Rights Act authority of a "majority-Latino" district, it can be symbolically important. But none of these numbers stand out as determinative factors that should override decisions based on which maps are better at uniting neighborhoods / communities of interest, following major roads and other easily identifiable boundaries, and being compact (as defined by the Fair Maps act).
Question: Are the criteria in the fair maps act intended to be implemented in priority order with contiguity being the first priority?
Response: Yes.

3 Definición de barrios &
comunidades de interés
Según el Código Electoral de California, "comunidad de interés" tiene una definición muy específica en el contexto de distritos y redistribuciones de ciudades y condados:
Una “comunidad de interés” es una población que comparte intereses sociales o económicos comunes que deben incluirse dentro de un solo distrito para los propósitos de su representación justa y efectiva.
Ejemplos de Comunidades de Interés:
Edificios de apartamentos, complejos de condominios, comunidades de propietarios, fraccionamientos
Áreas específicas del plan o áreas definidas por la ciudad con fines de planificación Líneas divisorias naturales de vecindarios, como autopistas o carreteras principales, ríos, canales y/o colinas
Áreas alrededor de parques o escuelas
Otros puntos de referencia del barrio
Áreas que comparten asuntos, inquietudes o problemas

Más allá de las definiciones:
trabajar con comunidades de interés
Primera pregunta: ¿Qué define a su comunidad?
Los números solo cuentan una parte de la historia; cómo la gente ve su propia ciudad es importante.
¿Cómo define usted la extensión geográfica de su vecindario o comunidad?? Segunda pregunta: ¿Es posible mantener unida a esta comunidad? Dada la población y la ubicación de una comunidad, y la geografía del Censo, ¿es posible mantener unida a esta comunidad y crear cuatro distritos contiguos con la misma población?
Tercera pregunta: ¿Esta comunidad se beneficiaría de estar “incluida dentro de un solo distrito a los efectos de su representación efectiva y justa”? ¿O se beneficiaría más de tener múltiples representantes? Las definiciones de Comunidades de interés pueden no incluir los límites actuales del distrito, las relaciones con los partidos políticos, los titulares o los candidatos políticos. 16 de febrero de 2022

Criterios de la Ley de Mapas Justos
Código Electoral21601
(a) Después de... cada censo federal decenal de una ciudad cuyo consejo ya se eligió mediante elecciones basadas en distritos, el consejo adoptará, por ordenanza o resolución, los límites para todos los distritos del consejo de la ciudad de modo que los distritos del consejo sean sustancialmente iguales en población como lo exige la Constitución de los Estados Unidos.
(1) La igualdad de población se basará en la población total de residentes de la ciudad según lo determinado por el censo federal decenal más reciente para el cual están disponibles los datos de redistribución de distritos descritos en la Ley Pública 94-171.… (b) El consejo adoptará los límites de los distritos del consejo que cumplan con la Constitución de los Estados Unidos, la Constitución de California y la Ley federal de derechos electorales de 1965 (52 U.S.C. Sec. 10301 et seq.). (c) El consejo adoptará los límites del distrito utilizando los siguientes criterios establecidos en el siguiente orden de prioridad:
(1) En la medida de lo posible, los distritos del consejo serán geográficamente contiguos. Las áreas que se encuentran solo en los puntos de las esquinas contiguas no son contiguas. Las áreas que están separadas por agua y no conectadas por un puente, túnel o servicio regular de ferry no son contiguas.
(2) En la medida de lo posible, se respetará la integridad geográfica de cualquier vecindario local o comunidad local de interés de una manera que minimice su división. Una “comunidad de interés” es una población que comparte intereses sociales o económicos comunes que deben incluirse dentro de un solo distrito para efectos de su representación efectiva y justa. Las comunidades de interés no incluyen relaciones con partidos políticos, titulares o candidatos políticos. (3) Los límites de los distritos municipales deben ser fácilmente identificables y comprensibles para los residentes. En la medida de lo posible, los distritos municipales estarán delimitados por barreras naturales y artificiales, por calles o por los límites de la ciudad. (4) En la medida de lo posible, y cuando no entre en conflicto con los criterios anteriores de esta subdivisión, los distritos municipales se trazarán para fomentar la compacidad geográfica de manera que las áreas de población cercanas no se pasen por alto en favor de poblaciones más distantes.
(d) El consejo no adoptará los límites de los distritos del consejo con el fin de favorecer o discriminar a un partido político. (e) A los fines de este artículo, "adoptar" o "adopción" con respecto a los límites del distrito del concejo significa la aprobación de una ordenanza o resolución que especifica esos límites. 16 de febrero de 2022

CITY COUNCIL REDISTRICTING WORKSHOP PUBLIC COMMENT Mayor Constantine, City Council Members, and City Staff, Public Map 103 should be fairly considered along with the other maps. The city's 10-year population growth was equally distributed across all four districts in Map 103, the current districts, so there is no need to make any changes to the district boundaries. The 2017 council selected the current district map, now represented by Map 103, as the best district map to address concerns of inequitable representation and to ensure there was diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Council.
That a Latina was elected to the council by District B voters in 2018 serves as an example of its importance. She is highly regarded within large segments of District B residents who feel she is truly representing their many interests.
The CA legislature granted the Council sufficient discretion to declare Map 103 district D boundaries "contiguous to the extent practicable" to enable the city to put into effect the other equally important priorities in the redistricting statute (protection of community of interests and minority communities, easily identifiable boundaries understandable by its residents, etc.) I strongly believe that our CA Legislature is completely committed to protecting communities of interest and minority groups and made it possible for Morgan Hill to draw fair and equitable maps.
It would be wrong to send the message to Morgan Hill and Santa Clara County voters that our Morgan Hill elected leaders came to believe that our CA legislature turned its back on communities of interest and minority communities and gave priority to contiguity, for the sake of contiguity, regardless that it impairs the ability to put into effect other important priorities.
Morgan Hill has two large, populated areas separated by county land over which it has no control. You all know the issue for redistricting- what discretion did the CA legislature grant the People of Morgan Hill with the words "To the extent practicable, Districts shall be contiguous"? The City Attorney wants you to believe the CA legislature wanted it to mean, "If something is possible and can be done, then it must be done" and at its extreme "Only if it is impossible and cannot be done, then it cannot be done".
I believe our CA Legislature was smart and careful in using the clause "To the extent practicable".
You must interpret the plain words in the context of the intent of the legislature. It is more logical to conclude that our CA legislature intended to protect minority communities and granted discretion to the People of Morgan Hill to decide if a district is contiguous, even if it is not, to put into effect other
equally important priorities.
The Elections Code section 21534 is the key to understanding the discretionary power the CA Legislature granted the People of Morgan Hill. That election statute establishes a ranking in order of priority which one can use to gauge the City Attorney's meaning of the words "To the extent practicable".
In Section 21534, the CA legislature chose words in the statute in order of priority that establishes a ranking order. First- "Districts shall be contiguous". With those words the Legislature demands complete compliance regardless of the consequences. Second- To the extent possible".
This expression is less demanding, but it still requires robust compliance and a search for possibilities. Third- " To the extent practicable". Well, this expression is less demanding and would not require a search for possibilities. If read properly the third ranking grants sufficient discretion for the City Council to make policy decisions on any matter that are beneficial to the People of Morgan Hill, if those decisions are not arbitrary, capricious, or lacking in evidence.
See discretion where there is. Be objective and impartial and you will see it. The CA legislature did not take away your discretion. It is there in the words of the statute. "To the extent practicable" does not require one to chase for possibilities, even if they exist.
There is another way for the council to find discretion. The City Attorney says the CA legislature exemption, "areas separated by water connected by a bridge are contiguous", is limited to circumstances where it is impossible to draw contiguous boundaries like an island. He mentions Coronado Island as an example but because Coronado Island is an independent city with an elected mayor and council members, the exemption would not apply (https://www.coronado.ca.us/).
The CA legislature included a second exemption to the contiguous element - "Areas that meet only at the points of adjoining corners are not contiguous". I have not heard how the city attorney explains this second exemption, which treats Districts that are contiguous as being non-contiguous.
I read both principles/exceptions together as being parts of continuum between the most egregious gerrymandering on one side and the most extreme example of impossible to close borders. It is fair to interpret this continuum as a legislative grant of discretion to the cities to declare exceptions where it sees gerrymandering and to declare exceptions in areas with nonclosable borders, where it is desirable to give effect to other important priorities like protecting communities of interest and minority communities. Under this interpretation, the council has discretion to declare Map 103 District D "contiguous to the extent practicable" because it is a nonclosable border, and it wishes to put into effect other important priorities. I have previously stated the nexus being a connection of the two District D areas to a large network of county lands that allows the easy movement of people between the areas.
I do hope that our Morgan Hill Council sends a message to Morgan Hill and Santa Clara County residents that it is going to stand up for the protection of communities of interest and minority communities. That it will stand in solidarity with our CA legislators to protect minority communities.
As I said before, to defeat a lawsuit brought by anyone to challenge your decision to declare District D contiguous to the extent practicable all the City Attorney has to prove is that your decision was not arbitrary, capricious, or without any evidence. With all the written evidence in the record, including from Attorney Baller, the Asian Law Alliance, and me, Attorney Benavides, the City Attorney would have the easiest case to win in court. I am 100% confident about that.
Regards,
Armando Benavides

1 I guarantee to wildly improbable.
No contiguity, just a cavernous chasm.
Joe Baranowski
February 16, 2022
But, the City and its people indeed have “much to gain and nothing to lose, by doing the right thing”.1
Will you?
2 “Unnecessarily and incorrectly rigid interpretation1” State of Washington: Districts should be composed of convenient, contiguous, and compact territory. Land areas may be deemed contiguous if they share a common land border or are connected by a ferry, highway, bridge, or tunnel. Areas separated by geographical boundaries or artifi cial barriers that prevent transportation within a district should not be deemed contiguous
State of CA ? : Land areas separated by water may be deemed contiguous if they share a common land border or are connected by a ferry, highway, or bridge, or tunnel , but land areas separated by land may not be deemed contguous no matter what?
[1] Morris J. Baller, Letter to Mayor Constantine and Members of the City Council, Feb 15, 2022.
3 Is this chasm really just about different interpretations? “The legislator who sponsored the legislation that created the new criteria was very concerned about, who is now our
Attorney General, was very concerned about districts where there are sections of the districts that don’t touch each other and that was one of the reasons that the legislature created this new criteria. They’ve always had to be contigous in some way, but we were allowed to cross over county unincorporated stretches, the way contiguity is now defi ned we can’t anymore.”2
“I guarantee you if we don’t conform with the new
requirements there will be a lawsuit brought, if not by the Attorney General, by someone else looking to get attorney fees on a pretty easy case to make when we have districts that are not contiguous and the very fi rst priority among the criteria is contiguous districts.”2
.”..the legislative purpose underlying the Act was to prevent gerrymandering via “cracking” or “packing” that would diminish minority communities’ voting strength; the requirement to achieve contiguity “to the extent practicable” and consistent with the other districting factors – including, most importantly, keeping COIs together - was intended to protect minority and COI voting strength, not to diminish it by a wooden interpretation that effectively makes a narrowly defi ned contiguity factor eliminate all other considerations. It would be not just ironic, but tragic, if Morgan Hill were to cancel out the most practically signifi cant gains of its recent election system change in the mistaken belief that it is thereby bowing to the Legislature’s actual intention, when that intention was to empower – not
disenfranchise – minority voters.”1
“It is wildly improbable that the State Attorney General – the author of the FAIR ACT and a strong advocate for minority voting rights – would even consider suing Morgan Hill for adopting a map based on the kind of holistic and fl exible interpretation of section 21601 (c)(3) that Mr. Benavides correctly urges the City to utilize. It is far more likely that minority voting rights advocates would sue the City for discrimination in districting if it were to split or crack the District B area.”1 [2] December 15, 2021 City Council Meeting, transcription of comments by City Attorney from City video archive.
4 What the legislative record3 said the sponsor of AB 849 said “Redistricting is of crucial importance to local democracy. How county supervisor, city council, school board, and other local government election districts are drawn can help determine, for the next decade, whether or not a community will be represented at their closest levels of government. Unfortunately, unlike State redistricting, there are very few requirements on local redistricting to ensure the process is fair and transparent and that the public, and especially underrepresented communities, are engaged in the process. California law also provides obsolete rules for local redistricting – on matters including timing, public hearing requirements, and redistricting criteria – that undermine the goal of fair representation.” “This is especially problematic because local government is already highly unrepresentative. According to a 2015 NALEO study, only 10% of county supervisors and 15% of city council members are Latino, despite the fact that 40% of Californians are Latino. We are thus heading into a 2020 redistricting cycle where unrepresentative boards will be redrawing election districts with no criteria to ensure fair representation and with few requirements to engage their residents and communities, and especially non-English-speaking communities, in the process.”
“AB 849, the FAIR MAPS Act, reforms the local redistricting process to address these problems in three crucial ways: First, AB 849 reforms the criteria for local redistricting to minimize the possibility of gerrymandering and to ensure that communities and neighborhoods are kept whole as much as possible. When a community is fractured across multiple districts, its voting power is diluted. This results in local offi cials who are less representative and accountable. Unfortunately, under current law, local governments “may”– but are not required to – consider communities of interest in redistricting. Instead, this billwould establish mandatory, ranked redistricting criteria, modeled off the State redistricting criteria, so that keeping communities intact is actually prioritized. The bill also cleans up ambiguous criteria from our code and, for the fi rst time, bans partisan gerrymandering at the local level. The latter is crucial to the integrity of our local democracy and better aligns with our State Constitution, which already requires that local elections be offi cially nonpartisan.”
“Second, AB 849 provides important procedural and transparency safeguards, so that the public can better participate in their local redistricting process. AB 849 requires that a local jurisdiction hold a minimum of four public hearings before approving a new district map. For larger jurisdictions, the hearings must be held in different areas of the jurisdiction and at different times of day, so that all residents, including those with work and family obligations, have the opportunity to participate. The bill requires local governments to engage in basic community outreach, so that diverse communities are aware of the process and its importance, and requires local governments to offer live-translation at public hearings upon request, so that language is not a barrier to advocating for fair districts. Finally, the bill requires substantially more transparency in the process, including requirements that public hearing dates and redistricting materials be published online. Draft maps, in particular, would have to be published online for at least 7 days to prevent secretly-developed mapseing unveiled and adopted at the last minute.“
“Finally, AB 849 makes a number of timing changes, to better align local redistricting deadlines with the deadline for state redistricting and the new March primary elections. The bill requires local governments to complete redistricting at least fi ve months before their next local election after the publication of census data, which will give many local governments more time to redistrict than under current law. The bill also removes the indefensible remedies in current law for when local governments miss the redistricting deadline – like general law cities counter intuitively and unhelpfully reverting to at-large elections. Instead, jurisdictions that do not meet their redistricting deadlines will have a court adopt new district boundaries, the same alternative procedure that is in place for state and congressional redistricting.” [3] Assembly Committee on Local Government, Hearing on AB849 (Bonta), April 24, 2019, Author’s Statement.

City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 6 Revision 2.3
SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is to define the actions required of the City of Morgan Hill before, during, and after an emergency and to guide the City’s response to major emergencies/disasters.
Additionally, this Plan supports the Morgan Hill Municipal Code Chapter 2.44 Civil Disaster and Emergency Organization Purposes, which are “to provide for the preparation and carrying out of plans for the protection of persons and property within the city in the event of an emergency...”
1.2 CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
The City of Morgan Hill’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) follows California’s Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the emergency management response structure for disaster operations. These systems provide for Management, Operations, Logistics, Planning and Intelligence, and Finance and Administration Sections of the organization.
The operational priorities are protecting lives, meeting human welfare needs, temporary restoration of publicly provided facilities and services, as well as those provided by private organizations and special districts, protecting property, preserving the environment, and permanent restoration of facilities.
The Office of Emergency Services (OES) identifies potential threats to life, property and the environment, and then develops plans, procedures, and guidelines to minimize or respond to those threats. Together these documents will help coordinate and support emergency response and recovery and will be tested through exercises and validated by the results of actual response. The goal is to maintain a robust emergency management organization with collaborative ties among governments, community based organizations, volunteers, public service agencies and the private sector.
Morgan Hill OES follows the four (4) phases of Emergency Management. Mitigation
Actions taken to reduce the exposure to, probability of, or potential loss from hazardous events.
Mitigation is often accomplished in conjunction with other local, state, and/or federal agencies Preparedness
Establishing of authorities and responsibilities for emergency actions and the garnering of resources to support them. Preparedness includes staff training, identifying possible facility, and asset needs and encompasses a program of tests, drills, and exercises. Public outreach is imperative and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training is an excellent vehicle to accomplish this work. Response
Time-sensitive actions taken to save lives and protect property, including actions which stabilize the situation. Response includes notifying and activating the emergency management organization, warning, evacuating, or sheltering the local population, keeping the population informed, rescuing individuals and providing emergency medical care, maintaining law and order, assessing damage addressing mitigation issues that arise from response actions, and requesting help from outside sources, when needed. Recovery
Efforts to restore the infrastructure, social, and economic life of the City. Recovery actions can last over an
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 7 Revision 2.3
extended period of time and involve costly expenditures, including Disaster Assistance funding from state and federal sources.

City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 8 Revision 2.3
SECTION 2: PLAN DETAILS
2.1 PLAN OVERVIEW
The City of Morgan Hill Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is an all hazards document describing the City’s Emergency Operations organization, compliance with relevant legal statutes, other guidelines, and critical components of the Emergency Response System. This plan is not intended to address specific emergency responses.
It is the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Services (OES) Coordinator to develop emergency plans. The OES Coordinator will update and seek approval of the plan as needed.
The Morgan Hill EOP addresses the planned response to and recovery from conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons, property and the environment, by natural or human causes, affecting the City of Morgan Hill and its sphere of influence.
The Plan delineates the City emergency management organization and identifies policies, priorities, responsibilities, and procedures for the EOC.
The Plan also establishes the framework for implementation of SEMS within the City of Morgan Hill and guides its relationship with other levels of government as well as with Field Level Incident Commanders.
The plan is aligned with the State of California Emergency Plan, the Santa Clara Operational Area Interim Agreement, Santa Clara County Emergency Operations Plan, the Morgan Hill Municipal Code as well as plans and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of contract agencies and Special Districts.
The Plan is designed to guide the EOC staff through all phases of emergency management. It is flexible and can be used for all sorts of emergencies and will facilitate both short-term response and long-term recovery.
The Plan describes the basic concept of emergency management. It also describes the structure of the City of Morgan Hill emergency management organization, its responsibilities, and the operational concepts for all-hazard emergencies.
2.2 ACTIVATION OF THE EOC
The EOC is activated by an order of the Director of Emergency Services, or designated representative, in response to threats or disasters which may affect the City of Morgan Hill.
Other times when the EOC will be activated include:
When the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency in an area that includes the City of Morgan Hill By a Presidential Declaration of a National Emergency The existence of a State of War Emergency
The Director of Emergency Services is authorized to activate the City of Morgan Hill’s EOC. In the absence of the City Manager, the Police Chief, Assistant City Manager, or any of the City Department Heads may activate the EOC.
These personnel have the responsibility to determine whether the emergency condition requires the partial or full mobilization of the City Emergency Operations Organization to staff the EOC.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 9 Revision 2.3
The response to an incident affecting the City of Morgan Hill will be dictated by the overall impact of the incident, rather than the type of incident.
2.2.1 General Criteria for an EOC Activation
Resources beyond the local capabilities are/will be required The emergency may be of a long duration
Major policy decisions may be needed
A local or state emergency has been declared
Activation of the EOC will be advantageous to the successful management of the incident
2.2.2 The EOC Activation Process
Upon notification of the existence of a threat to public safety, property or the environment, (e.g. winter storm, flooding), the Director of Emergency Services (DES) will call together key City staff to assess the scope of the incident/emergency and make a decision regarding EOC activation and the level of activation. These response levels are described within the following Levels of Activation chart.

2.2.3 City EOC Management, Direction and Control
The EOC is managed by the Director of Emergency Services. The City of Morgan Hill’s EOC will utilize multi/interagency coordination as defined in SEMS.
2.2.4 Concept of Operations
Emergency operations address the entire spectrum of contingencies, ranging from relatively minor incidents, such as a utility failure, to large scale disasters such as an earthquake. Some emergencies will be preceded by a buildup or warning period, providing sufficient time to warn the public and implement mitigation measures designed to reduce loss of life, property damage and effects on the environment. Other emergencies occur with little or no
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 10 Revision 2.3
advance warning, thus requiring immediate activation of the Emergency Operations Plan and efficient and coordinated mobilization and deployment of resources. City departments and agencies must be prepared to respond promptly and effectively to any foreseeable emergency, including the provision for, and utilization of, mutual aid assets.
2.2.5 Coordination with Other Emergency Responders
The City of Morgan Hill has identified the jurisdictions, special districts, community-based organizations (CBOs), volunteer agencies, private agencies, including non-government organizations (NGOs) that operate within the City’s geographical area and sphere of influence. Many organizations will have a response role during an incident.
Their roles will be coordinated by the OES, usually through pre-established relationships, and may include:
American Red Cross, Silicon Valley Chapter
CERT
Faith-based organizations
Local medical clinics
Local veterinary clinics
Medical Volunteer Disaster Response (MVDR aka Medical Reserve Corps) Morgan Hill Amateur Radio Emergency Services (MHARES) Morgan Hill Unified School District (MHUSD)
Mount Madonna Y.M.C.A
Volunteers in Policing (VIP)
Deactivation will occur at the direction of the Director of Emergency Services or designee.
2.2.6 Shelter Operations
In the event of a large scale emergency or disaster, it may be necessary to open a shelter (or shelters) due to evacuation or damage to residences. Sheltering is the responsibility of the City; however, the American Red Cross (ARC) will join efforts as soon as they are able to respond. The City has established sheltering relationships with several local churches who have completed ARC training in shelter management and shelter operations with a dedicated team of City and Volunteer Disaster Service Workers.
In Morgan Hill shelter surveys are conducted to identify facilities that meet the minimum requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
2.3 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
2.3.1 Incident Command System (ICS)
The Incident Command System (ICS) is a nationally used, standardized, on-scene emergency management system specifically designed to allow the user(s) to adopt an integrated organizational structure equal to the complexity and demands of single or multiple incidents without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries. ICS addresses both organization and process. ICS is used to manage facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications through the use of a common organizational structure and standardized procedures.
ICS was developed in California by the Fire Resources of California Organized for Potential Emergencies (FIRESCOPE) to enable successful multi-agency operations during emergency response operations. In addition, it has been adopted by the state and is specifically required for SEMS compliance. It has been adopted by the federal government and is specifically required for NIMS compliance.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 11 Revision 2.3
2.3.2 Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS)
The Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) is the system required by California Government Codes §8607(a) for managing response to multi-agency and multi-jurisdiction emergencies in California.
SEMS incorporates the use of the ICS, the Master Mutual Aid Agreement and existing mutual aid systems, the Operational Area Concept, the Operational Area Satellite Information System (OASIS), and multi-agency coordination. Local governments must use SEMS to be eligible for reimbursement of their response-related personnel costs under state disaster assistance programs.
2.3.3 SEMS Functions
There are five (5) designated levels in the SEMS organization: Field Response, Local Government, Operational Area, Regional, and State. Each level is activated as needed. The Field Response Level commands emergency response personnel and resources to carry out tactical decisions and activities in direct response to an incident or threat. The Local Government Level manages and coordinates the overall emergency response and recovery activities within its jurisdiction. The local government level includes cities, counties, and special districts. The Operational Area Level manages and/or coordinates information, resources, and priorities among local governments; and serves as the coordination and communication link between the local government level and the regional level. The Operational Area includes all the jurisdictions and special districts within the county geographical area. The County of Santa Clara is the lead agency for the Operational Area. The Regional Level manages and coordinates information and resources among operational areas within the mutual aid region designated and between the operational areas and the state level. This level, along with the state level, coordinates overall state agency support for emergency response activities. The State Level manages state resources in response to the emergency needs of the other levels, manages and coordinates mutual aid among the mutual aid regions and between the regional level and state level, and serves as the coordination and communication link with the federal disaster response system.
2.3.4 Local Government Level in SEMS
The basic role of a local government is to manage and coordinate the overall emergency response and recovery activities within its jurisdiction.
Under SEMS, special districts are units of local government (other than a city, county, or city and county) with authority or responsibility to own, operate or maintain a project (as defined in the California Code of Regulations for purposes of natural disaster assistance). This may include joint powers authority.
The City is responsible for emergency response within its boundaries, although some services are contracted for from other agencies. All local governments are responsible for coordinating with other local governments, to their field response level, and with the operational area. The City may support its emergency response by opening its EOC and providing mutual aid within its capabilities.
The City is primarily responsible during emergencies for restoration of services that it normally provides. It is also responsible for safety of people at its facilities or on its property and for warning of hazards from its facilities or operations. Some special districts may assist other local governments in the emergency response.
2.3.5 SEMS Requirements for Local Governments
The City will comply with SEMS regulations in order to be eligible for state funding of response-related personnel costs and will:
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 12 Revision 2.3
Use SEMS when a local emergency is declared or proclaimed. Establish coordination and communications with field incident commanders. Use existing mutual aid systems to assist in dealing with fire, law enforcement, and all other incidents. Establish coordination and communications between the City EOC when activated, to the Operational Area’s EOC, and any state or local emergency response agency having jurisdiction for an incident. Use coordination with other agencies to facilitate decisions for emergency response activities. SEMS includes fulfilling the management and coordination role of local government and providing for the five (5) essential functions of Management, Operations, Planning, Logistics and Finance/Administration.
2.3.6 National Incident Management System (NIMS)
Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) – 5 requires all states and local governments to adopt and implement NIMS.
NIMS include the following components:
Command and management, including the ICS
Communications and information management
Preparedness
Resource management
Multi-Agency coordination
Supporting technologies
Joint Information System (JIS)
NIMS management and maintenance
2.3.7 Operational Area Responsibilities under SEMS and NIMS The implementation of SEMS and NIMS is a cooperative effort of all departments and agencies within the county, cities, and special districts that have an emergency response role.
All City staff who may work in the EOC, in a Departmental EOC or at the field level will receive appropriate SEMS/NIMS/ICS training as recommended by the Department of Homeland Security. To validate preparedness and planning efforts, the City will develop an exercise program that provides periodic exercises for EOC and DEOC personnel under SEMS/NIMS/ICS guidelines.
2.3.8 National Response Framework (NRF)
The National Response Framework is built upon the premise that incidents are typically handled at the lowest jurisdictional level. In the vast majority of incidents, state and local resources and interstate mutual aid will provide the first line of emergency response and incident management support. When state resources and capabilities are overwhelmed, governors may request federal assistance. The NRF provides the framework for federal interaction with state, local, tribal, private sector, and non-governmental entities in the context of domestic incident management to ensure timely and effective federal support. The NRF is the core operational plan for national incident management, and establishes national-level coordinating structures, processes, and protocols that will be incorporated into certain existing federal interagency incident- or hazard-specific plans.
2.3.9 Special District Involvement
Special districts are defined as local governments in SEMS. The emergency response role of special districts such as the Santa Clara Valley Water District is generally focused on the return to normal services. During disasters, some types of special districts will be extensively involved in the emergency response by assisting the City.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 13 Revision 2.3
2.3.10 Area Command and Unified Command
An Area Command may be established when the complexity of an incident or incident management span-ofcontrol issues are present. An Area Command oversees the management of multiple incidents, each being handled by separate ICS organizations. These incidents may also be non-site-specific, geographically dispersed or evolve over a long period of time (e.g., a bio-terrorism incident). An Area Command organization can also be used if there are a number of incidents in the same area and of the same type, such as HAZMAT spills or wildfires.
These are incidents using the same resources. Multi-jurisdictional incidents may be handled by a Unified Command wherein each jurisdiction has a representative in the command structure.
2.3.11 Incident Command System under SEMS
ICS/SEMS is composed of five (5) functions: Management, Operations, Planning/ Intelligence, Logistics and Finance/Administration. These functions are present in every EOC and mirror the ICS functions which may, or may not, be contained in Field Level Command Posts. The exact EOC organizational staffing level is decided by the Director of Emergency Services, upon consultation with the EOC Section Coordinators, with consideration given to the circumstances and scope of the emergency/disaster.
2.3.11.1 Management Section “Leads It”
The Director of Emergency Services/EOC Director has responsibility for the overall management of the City’s response. The Director ensures that all EOC functions are staffed by the most qualified individuals. This section sets objectives, reviews and approves action plans, provides public information, keeps track of legal concerns and makes policy decisions, subject to later ratification by the City Council. The EOC Management Section should focus on strategy and policy, not tactics. This Section also coordinates the activities of other county, state, and federal agencies with the City.
The Management Section Staff consists of:
Director of Emergency Services (DES)
Deputy DES
EOC Coordinator / Liaison Officer
Public Information Officer
Legal Advisor
Safety & Security Officer
2.3.11.2 Operations Section “Does It”
The Operations Section Coordinator is responsible for the coordination and management of all branches in the Operations Section. Depending upon the type of event which is occurring, the Operations Section Coordinator may be from the Public Works Branch, the Law Enforcement Branch or the Fire Services Branch. This section develops the Operations Section of the EOC Action Plan to meet objectives set by the Management Section. It allocates personnel and equipment, identifies staging areas and manages mutual aid. Multi-purpose staging areas are also under the management of this section. This Section responds to field requests, anticipates needs, and coordinates information gathering in conjunction with the Plans Section.
This Section may have to deal with inmate issues (the Boys Ranch), special populations, animal control issues, hazardous materials, coroners, emergency medical, crisis counseling for emergency responders, urban search and rescue, disease control, utility restoration, flooding, damage assessment, safety assessments, sheltering and feeding, and potable water.

2.4 COORDINATION WITH THE FIELD RESPONSE LEVEL – ICS
Common terminology is used to describe organizational functions, resources, and facilities within ICS/SEMS.
Modular organization is the method by which the organizational structure develops based upon the kind and size of the incident. The organization's staff builds from the top down with responsibility and performance placed initially with the Incident Commander. Several sections may be covered by one person in a relatively simple organization.
Unified Command is a structure which allows all agencies with responsibility for the incident, either geographical or functional, to manage an incident by working with other agencies in establishing a common set of incident objectives. This is accomplished without losing or abdicating agency authority, autonomy, responsibility, or accountability.
An Incident Action Plan identifies objectives and strategies made by the Director of Emergency Services for the incident based upon the requirements of the jurisdiction. In the case of Unified Command, the event objectives must adequately reflect the policy and needs of all the jurisdictional agencies. The Incident Action Plan for an event documents the support activities required for the operational period Span of control within the EOC is a limitation on the number of EOC staff positions that can effectively be supervised or directed by an individual. The span-of-control range is usually from three (3) to seven (7) personnel.
Comprehensive resource management is the identification, grouping, assignment, and tracking of resources.
Integrated communications are established through the use of a communications plan.
2.5 THE ACTION PLANNING PROCESS (DURING AN INCIDENT)
2.5.1 Purpose of the EOC Action Plan
Establishes the direction and priorities for EOC operations operational objectives for each SEMS function in the EOC and tracks progress.
Establishes the operational period timeframe for completion of objectives. Operational periods are normally in twelve (12) hour increments except for the first and last period. May be set by Santa Clara Operational Area for area-wide disasters.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 16 Revision 2.3
Provides for accountability and reduces redundancy.
Provides documentation for the After Action Report.
2.5.2 Emergency Management Teams Action Planning Responsibilities Director of Emergency Services
Ensures the Incident Action Plan is accomplished.
Planning/Intelligence Coordinator:
Acts as the Facilitator for the Action Planning process. Conducts the Action Planning meeting and prepares or assigns staff to reproduce and distribute the Action Plan. Situation Analysis Unit Leader:
Assists the Planning/Intelligence Coordinator as required in the preparation of the Action Plan. Documentation Unit Leader:
Assists in the preparation and distribution of the Plan. Keeps a permanent record of all documents related to the incident.
All Section Coordinators provide input for the Incident Action Plan.
2.5.3 Planning Meeting
Reviews the initial situation immediately upon EOC activation. Guides the EOC Team through the “Planning P” process. Develops the incident objectives.
Decides on initial size of EOC staff.
Announces when first action planning meeting will occur. (Usually within two (2) hours of EOC activation).
Considers declaration of Local Emergency. Initial meeting is brief - usually no longer than twenty (20) minutes.
Hold the meeting at a site away from the EOC, and the Director, Command and General Staff attend, along with any Liaison Officers.
The Action Plan can be written on ICS forms or on the WebEOC template.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 17 Revision 2.3
SECTION 3: EOC OPERATIONS
The City is prepared to operate a primary or alternate EOC when emergencies occur. The locations and facilities of the primary and secondary EOCs have been predefined, equipped and organized. The City is also prepared to activate the EOC remotely.
3.1 EOC SET UP
The set-up of the EOC is the responsibility of the EOC Coordinator. Instructions for the setup of the EOC can be found in “Setup Guides” located at EOC locations.
3.2 EOC STAFFING
Staffing decisions will be driven by the nature and scope of the emergency and the activation level ordered by the Director of Emergency Services. The EOC Sections must be prepared for extended operations on a twenty four (24) hour basis using two (2) twelve (12) hour shifts. Incidents requiring extended EOC Operations may see adjustments in the staffing shift hours, staffing levels, or a combination thereof. The Safety Officer is authorized to recommend to Section Coordinators to order EOC staff members exhibiting fatigue or stress to leave the EOC EOC Staff assignments (at least one (1) primary and an alternate) are pre-designated by the Director of Emergency Services in the EOC Staffing Plan which is published separately and updated by the OES.
Contract agencies, special districts, utilities, Community Based Organizations (CBOs), and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) may be requested to send agency liaison representatives to the EOC.
ARES volunteers play a significant role in EOC operations, donating their time, personal communications equipment, and expertise to maintain an auxiliary set of communications channels (voice/packet computer/bulletin board) with other cities/towns/special districts and the Santa Clara County EOC. A secondary or backup ARES capability may be located in the volunteers’ vehicles to ensure there are no lost communications during incidents.
3.3 EOC TRAINING
The EOC Staff will participate in an ongoing training program. The OES will make this training available to the team. This program will include the following elements:
3.3.1 Basic Training:
Orientation to the EOC, introduction to the Emergency Operations Plan and basic SEMS/NIMS, used primarily to brief new EOC Staff members.
3.3.2 Specialized/Technical Training:
Training focused on and emphasizing procedures such as WebEOC reporting or setting up a shelter.
3.3.3 Exercises
Table top exercises, functional exercises, or full scale exercises may be used to involve Emergency Management Team members in the processes of emergency management. The team will have at least one (1) exercise each year, unless it is involved in an actual EOC activation during the year.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 18 Revision 2.3
SECTION 4: DISASTER SERVICE WORKERS – EMPLOYEES AND
VOLUNTEERS
Disaster Service Workers (DSWs) are defined as:
Any person properly registered for the purpose of engaging in disaster service, including paid staff and volunteers.
Any person registered with an accredited Disaster Council for the purpose of engaging in disaster service without pay or other consideration.
Unaffiliated persons impressed into service by competent authority during an incident.
4.1 CITY EMPLOYEES
4.1.1 During Working Hours:
When an emergency occurs, all on-duty City staff must remain at work until properly relieved or excused by their supervisors.
4.1.2 During Non-Duty Hours:
During non-working hours, when emergencies occur, City employees with EOC or other emergency assignments should:
Immediately look to the safety and security of their families. As soon as possible, contact their City work station or EOC Section Coordinator to advise of their family status and availability for disaster duties.
4.1.3 Dissemination of Information:
The Public Information Officer of the City, or EOC personnel, can disseminate employee work information during an emergency by the following means.
The City Cable Channel 17
Alert SCC; including the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system. The Emergency Alert System (all commercial radio and television stations) The Police Department
The City Web Site: www.morganhill.ca.gov
Social Media
4.2 VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATIONS AND PRIVATE AGENCIES
These groups constitute a significant part of Morgan Hill’s emergency response resources. Groups including the Santa Clara Chapter of the American Red Cross are essential elements of the public response efforts to meet the care and shelter needs of local disaster victims. Private sector medical/health resources provide emergency medical care. Government radio communication nets are backed up in the Morgan Hill EOC by highly qualified “HAM” radio operators of the Morgan Hill ARES/RACES who offer their own equipment and separate auxiliary nets as well as field communications units from sources such as fire stations, school campuses, and the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).
Private agencies, organized groups and service clubs which desire to volunteer to perform specific tasks during emergencies should identify their interests and goals to the OES for pre-disaster recognition and registration processing.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 19 Revision 2.3
4.2.1 Length of Enrollment/Termination
The Emergency Management Team is authorized to establish enrollment periods, and to coordinate the activities of the various volunteer groups in preparing for emergencies. Spontaneous volunteers (see below for further definition) will normally be enrolled only for the length of the on-going disaster at the time they come forth to provide assistance. Termination may be accomplished if the volunteers fail to perform their responsibilities.
4.3 COORDINATION OF VOLUNTEERS
4.3.1 Pre-Registered Volunteers
Pre-registered volunteers have been assigned specific disaster duties by nature of their registration, i.e. ARES, CERT, Volunteers in Policing (VIPs), etc. These pre-registered volunteers will work under lines of authority designated before the emergency. However, once deployed to field sites on order of the EOC Sections, these organized volunteers will report either individually or as a unit to the Incident Commander at the Incident Command Post. In certain instances, such as a major disaster, these pre-registered volunteers may operate independently but under positive communications control of their respective organizational representative present in the EOC.
4.3.2 Spontaneous Volunteers
Community members may offer their services to the City during emergency situations. Although appreciated the coordination of Spontaneous Volunteers is crucial and must be coordinated through the EOC or OES. The key to successful volunteer employment is to identify individuals’ skills and utilize the volunteers in a safe, supervised manner to the extent of their capabilities. These volunteers must register as DSWs prior to serving the City and fall under the control of a designated team/project leader who will supervise their work efforts.
DSW volunteers registered under this program are considered to be acting within the scope of disaster service duties while assisting any unit of an emergency organization or performing any act contributing to the protection of life, property, and the environment or mitigating the effects of a potential emergency.
4.4 REGISTRATION
DSW Volunteers must have certain data registered with the City Clerk’s Office and execute a signed loyalty oath or affirmation subscribed by an officer authorized to administer oaths. The City Clerk (or designee) is authorized to administer the loyalty oath to DSWs.
4.5 WORKER’S COMPENSATION CLAIMS
All DSW volunteers are eligible to submit claims for worker’s compensation for injuries sustained while performing disaster service under the same authority and guidelines as paid government employees. Injuries sustained should be reported immediately to the volunteer’s supervisor who is responsible to advise the EOC Logistics Section, Personnel Branch and/or the Morgan Hill Human Resources Director.
4.6 LIABILITY CLAIMS
Any liability claims or actions filed against a DSW-volunteer will be immediately delivered to the City Attorney or the EOC Finance Section, Claims Branch.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 20 Revision 2.3
4.7 ACTIVATION OF DSWS
During instances of activation of the EOC, pre-registered volunteers shall be available to assist in the disaster response based on their qualifications. These volunteers are expected to respond to notifications by phone or email, or to self-deploy, by reporting to the Mobilization Center in the Bus Yard.
Self-deploying DSWs will be considered on duty during their direct travel time to and from the Mobilization Center/Cache or other assigned worksite.
For other incidents, requests for DSWs will be announced via:
Telephonic requests from the EOC, Police Dispatch, or OES Email announcement
AlertSCC
Announcements on the City’s Public Service Television Channel-17 Cable Announcements over the Morgan Hill Community Access Television (MHAT) Channel-19 Cable Postings on the City’s Web Site
Social Media
4.8 EMPLOYEE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TRAINING
All new employees are required to attend a training session on Emergency Preparedness within the initial first year of employment. The class includes SEMS/NIMS/ICS, personal and family preparedness, requirements of being a DSW, and contents of each employee’s seventy two (72) hour emergency kit. All City employees and volunteers are expected to have an emergency kit containing the equipment that might reasonably be required during an activation.
Specialized Training is available for EOC Staff members and may include WebEOC, AlertSCC, EOC section, and position training, ICS and other advanced courses available through FEMA, Emergency Management Institute, and California Specialized Training Institute.
City employees may attend free CERT training or other programs offered by the City OES, American Red Cross, ARES, and other organizations involved in disaster preparedness. The OES will announce training schedules, dates, times and enrollment information as they become available.
SECTION 5: WEBEOC
The City of Morgan Hill utilizes a web-based system of information sharing and reporting. The WebEOC system is used to report emergency information to the Santa Clara County Operational Area (SCC OES).
WebEOC is an internet-based system that assists the Emergency Management Team in capturing and reporting resource status and requests, and also has standard formats for the various ICS forms in use. These forms can be called up online, filled out and submitted electronically.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 21 Revision 2.3
SECTION 6: EMERGENCY PROCLAMATIONS
6.1 WHAT CONSTITUTES AN EMERGENCY?
The California Emergency Services Act § 8550 and SEMS defines an emergency as “conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property…”by natural or human causes. Environmental considerations are also a factor.
Morgan Hill Municipal Code (MHMC) § 2.44.020 defines emergency as “the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the city caused by such conditions as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot or earthquake, or other conditions including conditions resulting from war or imminent threat of war, but other than conditions resulting from a labor controversy, which conditions are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the city, requiring the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat.”
6.2 LOCAL EMERGENCIES
The City Council or the City Manager, or designee, may proclaim a Local Emergency in Morgan Hill when there is a threat to the safety of people and property within the City boundaries.
The proclamation of a Local Emergency provides legal authority for the Director of Emergency Services to:
Request that the Governor proclaim a State of Emergency, Put forth orders and regulations to protect life and property, including emergency orders to command the aid of citizens in the community.
Provide mutual aid to and for the people of the City. Require the services of any local official or employee. Requisition necessary personnel and material of any department or agency. Obtain vital supplies and equipment and, if there is an immediate need, to commandeer the same for public use.
Impose penalties for violation of lawful orders.
Proclamations of a Local Emergency must be submitted for approval to the City Council by the City Manager and extended or cancelled after periodic reviews within specific timeframes (MHMC § 2.44.070).
SECTION 7: CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT
A major disaster could result in the death or injury of key government officials, the partial or complete destruction of established seats of government, and the destruction of public and private records essential to continued operations of government. At all levels, government is responsible for providing continuity of effective leadership and authority and for the direction of emergency operations and management of recovery operations. It is essential that the County of Santa Clara and all the cities/towns and special districts within the county continue to function as government entities.
The California Government Code and other California laws provide the authority for state and local governments to reconstitute themselves in the event incumbents are unable to serve.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 22 Revision 2.3
7.1 LINES OF SUCCESSION
The California Government Code permits the appointment of up to three (3) standby officers for each member of the governing body. This code also provides for the succession of officers who head departments responsible for maintaining law and order, or for furnishing public services relating to health and safety. The standby officers shall have the same authority and powers as the regular officers or department heads.
Additionally, procedures exist to assure continued functioning of political subdivisions in the event the governing bodies, including standby officers, are unavailable to serve.
The Line of Succession for Director of Emergency Services in Morgan Hill is as follows:
Assistant City Manager
Chief of Police
City Engineer
Director of Planning and Community Management
Director of Administrative Services
Director of Community Services
The Acting Director of Emergency Services shall serve until the Director is available or until a successor is appointed by the City Council.
Any questions as to the availability of the Director of Emergency Services shall be decided by the City Council or any remaining available members of said body.
7.2 RECONSTITUTION OF THE GOVERNING BODY
The California Government Code authorizes local governing bodies to convene, as soon as possible, whenever a State of Emergency or Local Emergency exists and at a place not necessarily within the political subdivision. The duties of a governing body during emergencies include ascertaining the damage to the jurisdiction and its personnel and property, reconstituting itself and any subdivisions, performing functions in preserving law and order, and furnishing local services
The California Government Code establishes a method for reconstituting the governing body. In the case that all members, including all standbys, be unavailable, temporary officers shall be appointed by the chair of the County Board of Supervisors, in which the political subdivision is located, by the Chair of the Board of Supervisors of any other county within one hundred and fifty (150) miles or by the Mayor of any City within one hundred and fifty (150) miles.
The City Government could be reconstituted at City Hall or at any of the alternate EOC locations.
7.3 PROTECTION OF VITAL RECORDS
In the City of Morgan Hill, the City Clerk’s Office is responsible for the preservation and protection of vital records.
Each department within the City shall identify, maintain, and protect its vital records. Vital records are defined as those records that are essential to the rights and interests of individuals, governments, corporations and other entities, including vital statistics, land and tax records, license registers, articles of incorporation, and historical information. Vital records also include those records essential for emergency response and recovery operations, including utility system maps, emergency supply and equipment locations, emergency operations plans and procedures, and personnel rosters.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 23 Revision 2.3
These vital records will be essential to the reestablishment of normal government functions, protecting the rights and interests of government. These rights and interests may include the Constitutions, charters, statutes, ordinances, court records, official proceedings, and financial records of Morgan Hill.
Vital records of City of Morgan Hill are routinely stored in the City Clerk’s Office, in the files of the various departments, and in off-site storage.
SECTION 8: MULTI-AGENCY / INTERAGENCY COORDINATION
Multi-agency or inter-agency coordination is the participation of agencies and disciplines involved at any level of the ICS/SEMS organization working together in a coordinated effort to facilitate decision-making for overall emergency response activities, including the sharing of critical resources, information and the prioritization of incidents. The Multi-Agency Coordination System (MACS) is a decision-making system used by member jurisdictions of the Santa Clara Operational Area to prioritize and coordinate resource allocation and response to multiple incidents affecting the Operational Area. MACS is usually implemented during a large-scale incident involving multiple agencies or jurisdictions.
Multi-agency or inter-agency coordination is important for:
Establishing priorities for response
Allocating critical resources
Developing strategies for handling multi-agency response problems Sharing information
Facilitating communications
8.1 MULTI-AGENCY OR INTERAGENCY COORDINATION IN THE EOC Multi-agency or interagency coordination is an integral part of the functioning of the City’s EOC. The EOC is staffed by representatives from City departments and agencies who work together at the EOC to coordinate the City’s emergency response. Representatives from outside agencies including special districts, volunteer agencies and private organizations may also participate at the EOC with departmental representatives in coordinating the City’s response efforts. Coordination with agencies not represented in the EOC may be accomplished through telecommunications, emails, or faxes.
SECTION 9: MUTUAL AID SYSTEM
The foundation of California’s emergency planning and response is a statewide mutual aid system which is designed to ensure that adequate resources, facilities, and other support is provided to jurisdictions whenever their own resources prove to be inadequate to cope with a given incident. The basis for the system is the California Master Mutual Aid Agreement, as provided in the California Emergency Services Act. It created a formal structure in which each jurisdiction retains control of its own personnel and facilities, but can give and receive help whenever it is needed. The state government is obligated to provide available resources to assist local jurisdictions in emergencies.
The statewide system includes several discipline-specific mutual aid systems, such as, but not limited to, fire and rescue, law, emergency managers, medical, and public works. The adoption of ICS/SEMS does not alter existing mutual aid systems. To further facilitate the mutual aid process, particularly during day-to-day emergencies
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 24 Revision 2.3
involving public safety agencies, fire and rescue, and law enforcement mutual aid coordinators have been selected and function at the Operational Area, regional and state levels.
Incoming mutual aid resources may be received and processed at several types of facilities including: Incident Command Posts, staging areas, bases, camps, and mobilization centers. Units in staging areas are ready to be sent directly to the disaster site. Staging Areas are off-incident locations at which emergency response personnel and equipment are temporarily located pending assignment, release or reassignment.
During a proclaimed emergency, mutual aid will be coordinated by the Operational Area. The Santa Clara County EOC/Santa Clara Operational Area will coordinate mutual aid requests between the Operational Area member jurisdictions and the State OES Regional Emergency Operations Center (REOC).
9.1 MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS/COUNTY-OP AREA COORDINATORS
The following depicts the statewide mutual aid agreements, some of which are still under development, in which the Santa Clara County/Santa Clara Operational Area is a participant:
Medical Examiner/Coroner
Disaster Medical/Health Mutual Aid
Emergency Managers Mutual Aid Agreement
Fire Mutual Aid
Hazardous Materials Mutual Aid
Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Agreement
American Red Cross
Mental Health Mutual Aid
Public Works Mutual Aid Agreement
Search and Rescue Mutual Aid
Urban Search and Rescue Mutual Aid
Morgan Hill is located in Mutual Aid Region II. This Region is geographically the same as the Coastal OES Region. It is administered by the California Emergency Managers Association Regional Headquarters.
9.2 MUTUAL AID POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Mutual aid resources will be provided and utilized in accordance with the California Master Mutual Aid Agreement and supporting separate agreements.
Due to the incompatibility of radio communications equipment between most agencies, local agencies should, where possible, provide incoming mutual aid forces with portable radios using local frequencies.
SECTION 10: HAZARD ANALYSIS
The City of Morgan Hill is a reasonably safe place to live and work. Natural threats to life and property include earthquakes, flooding, wildfires, environmental problems and landslides. Human-caused threats to life and property include aircraft crashes, hazardous materials incidents, utility interruptions, communicable diseases, terrorist acts, train derailments, and dam failure. For more information on Anderson Dam, see the Valley Water “Emergency Action Plan for Anderson Dam”.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 25 Revision 2.3
10.1 SEISMIC HAZARDS
The City lies between the Calaveras Fault Zone to the east and the San Andreas Fault system to the west. The offshore San Gregorio Fault Zone lies a few miles further west. At the western edge of the Diablo Mountain Range lies a segment of the Silver Creek Fault, three (3) Coyote Creek Thrust faults, a small horseshoe shaped, unnamed fault, and the Range Front Thrust Fault.
10.2 GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Landslides are a geological hazard in the foothills and low mountains of the City and adjacent area. Occurrences can range from rapid rock falls to slow soil and bedrock creep. Natural contributing causes include weak soil and rock over hillsides made steeper by rapid stream erosion, adverse geological structure, ground water levels, and high rainfall rates. Man-made causes include improper grading altering surface and sub-surface drainage, excessive irrigation, and removal of natural vegetation.
10.3 WILDFIRE HAZARDS
Wildfires can occur in Morgan Hill. Narrow ingress/egress routes can impede residents’ escape. The access of first responders to favorable tactical positions to combat the fire’s leading edges may also be limited. Failure of homeowners and tenants to trim back flammable decorative landscaping and failure to replace wood shake or shingle roofs with non-flammable roofs compound the dangers to property and lives of both residents and firefighters.
10.4 FLOODING
Watersheds in mountain ranges produce creeks, streams and rivulets in the City with continual flooding potential.
Hillside soil composition contributes to saturation during the winter rainy season, particularly during the meteorological phenomenon known as El Nino. Elevated flows, higher stream velocity, and debris accumulation may occur in watercourses. Coyote Creek, located on the east side of the City, can threaten the developments west of Malaguerra Avenue-Cochrane Road. West Little Llagas Creek can inundate portions of the downtown business district as well as areas along Monterey Road between Cochrane Road and Watsonville Road.
Several dams in the area represent a threat to safety of people and property. The primary issues are covered in the Flood Emergency Guideline, the Evacuation Routes Appendix to the Emergency Guidelines.
SECTION 11: HAZARD MITIGATION
11.1 THE CASE FOR HAZARD MITIGATION
Every disaster can teach us valuable lessons about building construction, land use, and emergency response.
Unfortunately, many of these lessons are soon forgotten and there is a tendency to return to poor construction, unsafe land use, and other short-sighted practices that add to the disaster’s negative impact. For this reason, the federal and state governments require safe land use and construction practices as a condition of receiving federal disaster aid. Mitigation has been shown to significantly reduce emergency costs.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 26 Revision 2.3
11.2 HAZARD MITIGATION ACTIONS
11.2.1 Avoid the Hazard
Avoiding a hazard usually involves restricting land use near the hazard area. This can be accomplished by:
11.2.2 Zoning
Zoning is usually a function of local government, except where state or federally-owned lands are exempt from local zoning laws. Other interests may propose zoning regulations, but only local government can adopt them. By mutual agreement, state or federal restrictions may be locally adopted and enforced.
Zoning can be useful, but its powers are limited. Therefore, zoning usually reflects, rather than dictates, current land use trends. Zoning is vulnerable to political pressure. This is particularly true if an area is very attractive for development and rarely experiences major disasters.
Zoning is generally best suited to restricting the use of smaller areas (such as very steep slopes) within larger areas, as opposed to restricting large areas (such as areas of potential earthquake shaking).
11.2.3 Purchase
The most reliable way to restrict the use of land is to buy the land outright. Although this can be expensive, costs must be weighed against the repercussions of future disasters. Lands purchased for hazard mitigation can often be used for parks, agriculture, or other constructive purposes. In Santa Clara County, the Open Space District is a public agency that buys open space for, among other reasons, hazard mitigation.
11.2.4 Improve Building Standards
Buildings in hazardous areas can often be made safe. This can be as simple as the addition of a fireproof roof or as extensive as demolishing the building. Building standards can be implemented for a variety of reasons.
11.2.4.1 Local Standards
Building codes are usually a function of local government, except where state or federal buildings are exempt from local codes. Codes can be strengthened for hazardous areas. Usually stronger codes are enforced only for new construction or remodeling, but some recent laws require hazard related inspections for existing buildings that are considered at risk. Inspections will produce knowledge of liability, which will motivate the owners to improve their buildings.
11.2.4.2 State Standards
For state-owned facilities and schools which are outside the jurisdiction of local governments, construction standards are adopted and enforced by the responsible state agency(s). In some cases, these standards may serve as models for local governments.
11.2.4.3 Federal Standards
A federal agency may require local or state governments to adopt and enforce certain hazard mitigation regulations as a condition for federal assistance or participation in federally assisted programs.
The Governor’s Office and FEMA may be involved in establishing construction standards for hazard mitigation projects.
Federal law authorizes, as a condition of any disaster loan or grant, the recipient shall agree that any repair or construction to be financed by the loan or grant shall be in accordance with applicable standards of safety, decency and sanitation, in conformity with applicable codes, specifications, and standards.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 27 Revision 2.3
As a further condition of any loan or grant made, the state or local government shall agree that the natural hazards in the areas in which the proceeds of the grants or loans are to be used shall be evaluated and appropriate action shall be taken to mitigate such hazards, including safe land use and construction practices.
11.2.4.4 Reduce the Hazard
The hazard itself can be reduced. This depends on the type of hazard, for example; double containment of a storage tank will reduce the hazard from the chemical inside, but an earthquake or a storm cannot be stopped.
The City may decide to expend its funds to reduce hazards. The City maintains its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), identifying hazards.
The LHMP can be found by visiting the Santa Clara County’s Office of Emergency Management website.
SECTION 12: AFTER THE DISASTER
The Governor, with the federal government, may execute a Federal/State Agreement, which includes hazard mitigation measures.
12.1 LOCAL
The City's Authorized Representative, the City Manager, is responsible for local performance of hazard mitigation measures under the terms of a Federal/State Agreement. The City Manager, in coordination with the Governor's Authorized Representative, shall:
Appoint a Local Hazard Mitigation Coordinator to work with the Federal/ State Hazard Mitigation Team. o Submit adequate assurance that required hazard mitigation measures have been taken or will be completed for any project application.
o Implement and enforce land use regulations and safe construction practices which are agreed upon as conditions for FEMA grants or loans, to the extent of legal authority. Cities may request state or federal advice or assistance in taking these actions. o Provide evidence of compliance with conditions for any approved FEMA grants or loans as required by the Governor's Authorized Representative.
Local Hazard Mitigation Coordinator
o Working with the Federal/State Hazard Mitigation Team, the City’s Hazard Mitigation Coordinator shall assess disaster damage within the local jurisdiction. o Arrange for local participation in the Federal/State Hazard Mitigation Team. o Inform local officials and citizens about significant team activities, collect any local comments on these matters, and report them to the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator. o Work with the Federal/State Hazard Team to review and update existing hazard mitigation plans, or in developing new hazard mitigation plans.
SECTION 13: RECOVERY OPERATIONS
A recovery operation refers to certain measures undertaken by the City both during and following a disaster.
Effective recovery consists of a complex array of interdependent and coordinated actions which may include federal and state disaster relief efforts.
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 28 Revision 2.3
A successful recovery starts at the beginning of the incident. There is no clearly defined separation between the response and recovery efforts.
Recovery operations are divided into three (3) phases.
1. Short Term Recovery (Disaster impact to two (2) months) - The focus is on debris removal, building safety inspections, coordination of shelter services to victims, information on assistance programs, and providing basic emergency services (particularly public safety).
2. Mid-Term Recovery (Two (2) months to one (1) year) - The “rehabilitation” or reconstruction period between immediate response and long-term recovery.
3. Long Term Recovery (One (1) to ten (10) years and beyond) - Actions that will return the jurisdiction’s social and economic situation back to normal pre-disaster levels of service or improved levels.
13.1 SHORT TERM OBJECTIVES
Protection of individual well-being and private/public property Family reunification
Restoration of essential public services and public safety
13.2 MID TERM OBJECTIVES
Restoration of infrastructure/physical recovery to pre-disaster levels Restoration of normal government operations
13.3LONG TERM OBJECTIVES
Permanent restoration of private and public property
Economic, social, and institutional stabilization
Assess needs for, and accomplish, hazard mitigation
Update Emergency Plans based on lessons learned
13.4 DISASTER RECOVERY ASSISTANCE CENTERS
Joint Federal, State and Local Assistance Center (LAC) may be set up in affected areas.
These centers are staffed under the one-stop shopping concept by disaster relief agencies’ specialists, local officials, and representatives from private relief organizations.
Individual citizens and organizations desiring to donate money, food, clothing, and other goods or services to disaster victims may contact these LACs. Federal relief policy calls for cash donations to be given to private nonprofit organizations involved in disaster relief services such as the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Goodwill, or FBOs.
Additional information about Morgan Hill’s LAC is contained in the Local Assistance Center Emergency Guideline.
13.5RECOVERY PLANNING
As soon as the EOC is operational, recovery planning begins. The Advanced Planning Unit, under the Planning/Intelligence Section Coordinator, has primary responsibility for recovery planning. Recovery considerations will be reflected in the Incident Action Plans as the scope and approximate duration of the incident
City of Morgan Hill Office of Emergency Services Emergency Operations Plan February 16, 2022 Page 29 Revision 2.3
is identified. The City Recovery Plan will provide a road map for planning actions. Availability of funding will also dictate the exact steps in the recovery process.
13.6 RECOVERY FUNDING
13.6.1 Federal
Federal disaster assistance is available to communities which are covered by Presidential Proclamations. This assistance, provided under the provisions of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, is coordinated through FEMA.
13.6.2 State
California’s Emergency Management Agency coordinates disaster recovery and mitigation activities within California.
SECTION 14: PUBLIC EDUCATION – DISASTER
PREPAREDNESS
If the general public knows what to do before, during and after a disaster, the impact of the disaster can be greatly reduced in saved lives and preserved property. Public education is largely a local function, although the state and federal governments make a variety of educational materials available.
The Morgan Hill OES routinely conducts or sponsors public education seminars on the subject of disaster preparedness and related topics.
The OES offers the “Map Your Neighborhood” program to assist neighborhoods in preparing for emergencies. In addition, it offers CERT training and opportunities for volunteering in a number of emergency response roles.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
Project Description
DeNova Homes Inc. has submitted Design Review and Vesting Tentative Map applications. The project is a 93-unit condominium development to be developed at 19380 Monterey Road (Family RV property).
This project is not requesting a density bonus; however, projects that include a certain level of affordable housing are entitled under Density Bonus law to receive concessions based on the number of affordable units and level of affordability provided within the project – the law does not require an actual increase in density. The project is committing to provide 15 percent of the units to be restricted for-sale to qualified buyers with moderate- and median-incomes (7 median-income and 7 moderate income). This is a for-sale condominium development.
4 Separate from the concession request to be considered by the City Council, the applicant has requested a waiver to the City’s parking standards. Waivers are automatically allowed if they are necessary to achieve the full density allowed under State Density Bonus Law. A complete project description has been provided (Attachment 2).
Concession Request
Government Code Section 65915(d)(2)(A) requires the City to grant one incentive or concession for projects that include at least 10 percent of the total units for lower income households, at least 5 percent for very low income households, or at least 10 percent for persons and families of moderate income in a common interest development. Concessions are considered waivers or reductions in development standards, such as height limitation, setback requirement, a floor area ratio (FAR), onsite open space requirement or a parking ratio. This project is entitled to one concession or incentive, and has requested the following:
a. Increase in FAR: 0.98 FAR proposed (0.50 maximum allowed).
The site plan and elevations for the project have been provided to demonstrate how the project has been designed with the requested concession (Attachment 3). Additional details have been provided by the applicant showing how the project design would provide an actual cost reduction to provide for the affordable housing and if required to build in accordance with City requirements, it would physically preclude building the project at the desired density (Attachment 4).
Pursuant to Government Code 65915 (d)(1) the City must grant the concessions or incentives unless the City makes written findings, based upon substantial evidence, of any of the following:
a. The concession or incentive does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions, consistent with subdivision (k), to provide for affordable housing costs, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code, or for rents of the targeted units to be set as specified in subdivision (c).
b. The concession or incentive would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined in paragraph 2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5, upon public health and safety or the physical environment or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low-income and moderate-income households.
c. The concession or incentive would be contrary to state or federal law.
These findings cannot be made for the project; therefore, the concession request should be granted by the City Council.
4 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform
A project development web page has been created on the City website to inform the public of the project application. A site plan and project elevations have been provided for public review. The City will continue to inform the public through the public engagement process as the Design Review permit is processed.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
None. Government Code Section 65915(d)(2)(A) requires the City to grant one incentive or concession for projects that include at least 10 percent of the total units for lower income households, at least 5 percent for very low income households, or at least 10 percent for persons and families of moderate income in a common interest development unless findings for denial can be made. For this project, findings for denial cannot be made; therefore, there is no alternative action.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
None.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The City development review functions are cost-recovery, with the fees collected from applicants to cover cost of services. These fees have been collected.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
A project level environmental assessment will be prepared for the project in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The environmental analysis will be considered during the Design Review permit phase of the project.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MORGAN HILL GRANTING ONE CONCESSION FOR
THE MONTEREY-KERLEY PROJECT (DENOVA HOMES),
A 93-UNIT MARKET RATE CONDOMINUM
DEVELOPMENT TO BE LOCATED AT 19380 MONTEREY
ROAD (APN’S: 726-42-001 AND -002).
WHEREAS, DeNova Homes Inc. submitted an application for the Monterey-Kerley Project (Project) a 93-unit residential development project consisting of attached townhome-style condominiums.
WHEREAS, DeNova Homes Inc. has requested one concession for the housing development which includes an increase in the floor area ratio.
WHEREAS, the Project is a market rate housing development that includes 15 percent of the units to be restricted for-sale to qualified buyers with moderate- and median-incomes (7 median-income and 7 moderate income).
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(d)(2)(A), at least 10 percent of the total units will be available to persons and families of moderate income in a common interest development and therefore, is allowed one concession.
WHEREAS, the Monterey-Kerley housing development project to be located at 19380 Monterey Road and identified by Assessor Parcel Number’s 726-42-001 and 726-42-002 will provide a public benefit of 15 percent of the units deed restricted to moderate- and median-income qualified buyers, or the concession to increase the floor area ratio will become null and void.

Monterey Road Condominiums P a g e | 1
Project Description for
19380 Monterey Road Condominiums
APNs 726-42-001 and -002
The tendered applications consist of a Residential SB330 Preliminary Application, a Design Review Permit (16+ units), Conditional Use Permit and Vesting Tentative Map for Condominium Purposes. The proposed project consists of a multi-family attached residential community consisting of 93 townhome-style condominium units located in 20 three-story (maximum 40.25 feet) buildings. DeNova Homes, Inc. (DHI) is submitting a General Planning Application form, the SB330 Checklist Form, and attendant materials in accordance with the City’s application submittal requirements.
This 4.6-acre site is located on the east side of Monterey Road between Peebles Avenue and Burnett Avenue. The site is used as a recreational vehicle sales, rental, service and parts business. The site is zoned as Mixed-Use Flex, which allows multi-family residential development (7 – 24 du /acre) with approval of a conditional use permit. The frontage of the property is roughly improved and has some scattered trees in the landscape area between Monterey Road and the current security fencing. Adjacent to the north and south are commercial properties, to the east along the rear property line a mobile home park, and several single family homes along Angelica Way abut a portion of the southern property line.
Primary access to the new community will be provided from Monterey Road essentially at the current entry to Family RV. Because the site is bounded by other developed properties, there is no secondary public street access. AN EVA is proposed from Monterey Road near the southern property line. The Monterey Road frontage is proposed to be improved with a separated sidewalk, landscape parkway strip and a Class II bicycle lane (existing, but restriped).
Three buildings face Monterey Road so that front doors to units in these buildings face Monterey Road.
A private sidewalk provides access to these front doors, and that private walkway connects to the public sidewalk. Buildings are designed with alley-loaded garages. This allows the majority of the buildings to be grouped around and facing paseos. The majority of the buildings house 4 or 5 townhome-style units with attached garages, while 2 buildings, aligned on the southern property line, house 7 units.
The site design is mindful of the residential units to the east. Buildings are situated well away from the eastern property line. Landscaping and parking are located along the majority of this property line to ensure maximum privacy. A dog park (common open space area) has been placed along this property line where a small common area is adjacent in the mobile home park.
A common open space area is located at the center of the site, with four buildings arranged to face the open space with front doors and walkways. This common area includes picnic tables, park benches, a shade structure and an exercise structure. Turf areas also are available for free play. The common open space area constitutes 22% of the total site area. Walkways lead from parking areas to residence front doors, to common areas and to the public sidewalk along Monterey Road, creating a safe and pedestrianoriented community. Decorative paving highlights pedestrian crosswalks and pedestrian “nodes”. Bike racks for “short-term” bike parking are scattered throughout the site, including at the cluster mailbox location at the southern end of building 18.
Monterey Road Condominiums P a g e | 2
Three unit types are proposed. All units will have an attached 2-car garage, with primary living space on the second and third levels. Two of the three plans provide a dedicated “work from home” space on the ground level, reflective of the current – and perhaps future – opportunities for flexible working arrangements. Two of the plans are three-bedroom, to accommodate families, while the 2-bedroom Plan 1 is designed with two en-suite bedrooms for more flexible living arrangements. All units have both a ground-level porch and a second-level deck to ensure that each unit has more than the minimum 48 square feet of private open space. The Plan 2 also includes a dedicate bike parking space in the garage.
The architecture is designed to be a contemporary interpretation of a farmhouse or bungalow style.
Stucco, horizontal siding and vertical board and batten siding is accentuated with cantilevered second levels, awnings over windows and metal railings on balconies. Porches and balcony elements are designed as the forward-most planes on the front elevations.
In accordance with the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, DHI is proposing that 15% of the 93 units - 14 homes – will be reserved for-sale to moderate-income households. These units are dispersed through the buildings (please refer to site plan). These units will be deed-restricted for the required 45 years.
A homeowners’ association will be formed for the maintenance of the exteriors of all buildings, the private on-site streets, landscaping, common open space areas, the function and aesthetics of the bio-retention areas, and the on-site private utilities.
DHI is requesting two waivers of the MU-Flex development standards for floor area ratio and the parking ratio. In order to develop the property with enough units to allow for the 15% moderate income units, and meet many of the City’s other development standards for common area open space, the units needed to be three-stories in height. This increases the floor area ratio to 0.98, exceeding the 0.5 maximum allowed. To maximize the efficiency of the site and achieve the 93 units with 115% affordable, the units are designed with attached two-car garages, rather than one-car garages and a significant number (128) of surface (uncovered) parking spaces. Therefore the project does not meet the required number of uncovered parking spaces. Adding additional uncovered spaces would require a significant reduction in the number of units.

DECEMBER 2021 PROPOSED LEGENDDESCRIPTION STORM DRAIN STORM DRAIN INLET DRAINAGE AREA BOUNDARY DRAINAGE MANAGEMENT AREA ID UNDERGROUND RETENTION CHAMBER 1) THIS PROJECT IS TRIBUTARY TO FISHER CREEK, WHICH ULTIMATELY DRAINS TO THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY, HOWEVER, THE CITY OF MORGAN HILL HAS ITS MUNICIPAL DISCHARGE PERMIT WITH THE CENTRAL COAST REGIONAL WATER QUALITY BOARD (CCRWQB). THEREFORE, STORM WATER RUNOFF MANAGEMENT SHALL ADHERE TO THE CCWQCB CRITERIA IDENTIFIED IN THE "STORMWATER MANAGEMENT GUIDANCE MANUAL FOR LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT & POST CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CITY OF GILROY, CITY OF MORGAN HILL, AND COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA", DATED JUNE 2015. 2) THIS PRELIMINARY STORMWATER RUNOFF MANAGEMENT PLAN IS CONCEPTUAL AND SUBJECT TO REVISION BASED ON FINAL DESIGN AND ULTIMATE SITE CONFIGURATION. 3) ALL STORMWATER CALCULATIONS SHOWN HEREIN ARE PRELIMINARY AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE DURING FINAL DESIGN. THE LID MEASURES AND STORMWATER CONTROL FACILITIES MAY BE CHANGED OR MODIFIED DURING FINAL DESIGN AS LONG AS THE PROJECT CAN SHOW CONFORMANCE WITH THE CITY OF MORGAN HILL, THE SANTA CLARA COUNTY DRAINAGE MANUAL (2007), AND CCRWQCB POST-CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER REGULATIONS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF APPROVAL. 4) THE SUBSURFACE INFILTRATION FACILITY PROPOSED ONSITE WILL SERVE AS THE MAIN RETENTION SYSTEM FOR THE PROJECT. THE FACILITY WAS SIZED TO RETAIN THE 100-YEAR STORM DUE TO EXISTING DOWNSTREAM FLOODING OF FISHER CREEK. THE CALCULATIONS WERE PERFORMED VIA THE ROUTING METHOD USING CIVILSTORM COMPUTER PROGRAM BY BENTLEY SYSTEM INCORPORATED. ALL CCRWQCB REQUIREMENTS ARE MET VIA INFILTRATION IN THE UNDERGROUND SYSTEM. 5) A CDS (CONTINUOUS DEFLECTION SEPARATION) UNIT, OR APPROVED EQUAL IS PROPOSED AS A POTENTIAL PRETREATMENT SYSTEM UPSTREAM OF THE CHAMBER SYSTEM IN ORDER TO REMOVE A LARGE QUANTITY OF DEBRIS, SEDIMENT, OIL, GREASE, ETC. PRIOR TO THE STORMWATER ENTERING THE UNDERGROUND RETENTION SYSTEM. THE PRETREATMENT SYSTEM IS PRELIMINARY AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON FINAL DESIGN. 6) THERE IS NO EXISTING STORM DRAIN INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN MONTEREY ROAD ALONG THE PROJECT FRONTAGE. BASED ON FIELD OBSERVATION, EXISTING STORMWATER DISCHARGES TO THE MONTEREY ROAD GUTTER PAN AND FLOWS NORTHWEST UNTIL IT IS INTERCEPTED BY A DRAIN INLET AT THE MONTEREY ROAD AND BURNETT AVENUE INTERSECTION. IT IS THEN CARRIED INTO A CULVERT WHICH DISCHARGES TO A SWALE ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF MONTEREY ROAD. THE PROJECT WILL BE DESIGNED TO OVERLAND RELEASE IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THIS PREDEVELOPMENT CONDITION. 7) SITE SPECIFIC INFILTRATION TESTS WERE PERFORMED IN AUGUST 2021 USING THE DOUBLE-RING INFILTROMETER TEST METHOD AND RESULTED IN INFILTRATION RATES OF 66 IN/HR TO 90 IN/HR. REFER TO THE GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT BY STEVENS, FERRONE & BAILEY ENGINEERING CO., DATED AUGUST 17, 2021 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. 8) THE OFFSITE PUBLIC SIDEWALK SHALL DIRECT RUNOFF INTO THE PROPOSED PLANTER STRIP BEHIND THE CURB.

Concession and Waiver 19380 Monterey Road Page | 1
Requested Concession and Waiver of Standards for
Monterey Road Townhomes (19380 Monterey Road)
The proposed new 93-townhome community at 19380 Monterey Road is exercising one concession and one waiver for relief from development standards. The concession is for relief from the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and the waiver for the type and amount of parking for residents. 1) FAR Concession
Government Code Sections 65915-65918 state that the applicant shall be granted a density bonus and other “incentives or concessions” if at least 10% of the housing units in a for-sale common interest development are reserved for persons and families of moderate income. [see Govt Code Section 65915 (b) (1) (D)]
DHI is proposing that 15% of the units will be restricted for sale to qualified buyers with moderate- and median-incomes; the median income range is actually lower than the moderate income range.
Therefore, the project qualifies for one concession. DHI is opting to exercise its one concession to apply to the FAR component in the MU-Flex zoning district to allow for the proposed 0.98 FAR instead of the required 0.50 FAR.
AB 2345 further reinforces the applicant’s ability to achieve “.. . a density bonus and other incentives or concessions … if the developer agrees to construct a specified percentage of units for … moderate income households…” It reinforces that one incentive or concession shall be received for projects that include 10 percent of its units (to be reserved) for persons and families of moderate income in a common interest development.
2) Parking Waiver
SB 1818 Section 65915 (p)(1) (A&B) allows for a reduction in parking standards with the provision of below market-rate housing. DHI is proposing to provide 14 homes at a below-market rate: seven homes at a median-income level and seven homes at a moderate income level.
City standards for this community of 2- and 3- bedroom homes require a total of 93 covered parking and 129 uncovered parking spaces for resident parking, and 31 uncovered spaces for guest parking, for a total of 252 parking spaces.
DHI is proposing 186 covered parking spaces (garage spaces) for residents, and 39 uncovered parking spaces for guests, for a total of 225 parking spaces.
The State ratio for 2- and 3-bedroom units is 2 spaces per unit, which yields 186 parking spaces, the exact number of resident spaces proposed.
DHI is requesting a waiver for the amount of uncovered resident parking required, and instead utilizing covered parking at a ratio of 2 spaces per one unit. Adding uncovered surface parking stalls would require:
• a reduction in the amount of common open space;
• a reduction in the amount of landscaped area;
• an increase in impermeable surfaces; and /or
Concession and Waiver 19380 Monterey Road Page | 2
• a reduction in the overall number of units ; and /or
• a reduction of the number of two- and 3-bedroom units.
The reduction of common open space and landscaping would reduce the quality of life of the residents and the overall aesthetics of the community due to the increase in paving. The increase in impermeable surfaces is environmentally detrimental, with the necessity of collecting and treating more storm water run-off. Adding 129 uncovered parking spaces increases the amount of paved area by nearly 21,000 square feet (9’ x 18’ parking stalls), which is nearly half an acre and one-tenth of the entire site area.
Other options to meet the required uncovered parking amounts would be to reduce the overall number of homes, thereby reducing the amount of parking needed, or reduce the size of the units to just studio or one-bedroom units, which are assigned a lower uncovered parking ratio.
Reducing the number of units or the size of units changes the financial feasibility of the project. Smaller units (studio or 1 bedrooms) will command a lower price and also do not address the need for attainable housing for families.
In addition, providing attached, secured, covered parking with each unit and for all residents is far more desirable for and beneficial to residents. Garage parking ensures that residents will always have parking, since it is not possible to ensure that uncovered parking spaces will always be available to residents, rather than guests. As noted in the FAR discussion above, providing attached covered parking also reduces the overall building footprint to well below the 50% allowed, and is a far more efficient use of the available land area.

Subject: February 16, 2022 City Council Meeting Questions Supplement for Item #4 – Density Bonus Concession for Denova Homes Date: Tuesday, February 15, 2022
Staff Report: Requested Concession and Waiver of Standards for Monterey Road Townhomes (19380 Monterey Road) - Parking Waiver
Questions: Could the City require less units to make up for the potential parking impact? Response: Parking waivers are considered separate from the requests for the concession and Density Bonus Law allows a qualifying Applicant to request multiple waivers. Waivers are automatic and do not require City approval.
Government Code Section 65915(e) provides that the City cannot apply any development standard that will have the effect of reducing the project density. “'Development standard' includes a site or construction condition, including, but not limited to, a height limitation, a setback requirement, a floor area ratio, an onsite open-space requirement, or a parking ratio that applies to a residential development pursuant to any ordinance, general plan element, specific plan, charter, or other local condition, policy, resolution, or regulation.” (Govt. Code 65915(o)(1)) Density Bonus Law also does not allow a City to tie approval of a concession to any other waiver request. (Govt. Code 65915(e)(2)). The Applicant is requesting a waiver of the City’s parking standards based upon Govt. Code 65915 (p)(1):

The project exceeds the parking requirements based upon density bonus law. Guest parking is not required under Density Bonus Law.
Staff Report: Primary access to the new community will be provided from Monterey Road essentially at the current entry to Family RV.
Question: Is the only entry/exit to this location on Monterey Road? Response: There will be one ingress/egress access point from Monterey Road to the project site via a private drive (Street A). This is the only ingress/egress access point.
Staff Report: An EVA is proposed from Monterey Road near the southern property line.
Question: What is an EVA?
Response: The Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) is to be used to provide access and egress in case of fire or for other emergency services. The EVA would also be used for residents to evacuate in the case of an emergency. This is not for general purpose access or circulation.
Staff Report: Adding additional uncovered spaces would require a significant reduction in the number of units.
Question: What are the exact reduction numbers in overall number of units; and/or number of two- and 3-bedroom units?
Response: Reduction of units to comply with City parking standards (no waiver):
Each 3-story unit has a 2-car garage on the ground – or surface – level. Therefore, DeNova has calculated that they would achieve approximately 2 additional surface parking spaces for every unit eliminated. Currently, there are 38 surface-parking stalls which counts towards guest and resident uncovered parking.
To meet the City’s parking requirements, DeNova has estimated that they would need to reduce the number of 2-bedroom units from 22 to 16 and the number of 3-bedroom units from 77 to 48. That is a reduction of 37 units – nearly a 40% reduction. They would continue to provide 2-covered garage spaces for each unit, utilizing the same building designs. This is a rough calculation, based upon maintaining the same building types, etc., and not accounting for additional area “freed-up” by removing buildings.
The following shows the detail calculations:

CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Mayor Constantine spoke about our public meetings in this time of having them on virtual platforms. We find ourselves more exposed to inappropriate and at times incredibly vulgar behavior as people Zoom-bomb meetings. He discussed the security measures that we have in place which include holding public meetings as webinars and not allowing participants to share their videos, while still allowing the community to participate by allowing them to raise their virtual hand and have others hear their comments and feedback. Best practices we have implemented include not allowing participants from outside the US to join our meetings and requiring that participants of our meeting run the most current version of zoom. If you are not running the most
January 19, 2022
2 current version, you will be prompted to run an update prior to any City meeting. He encouraged residents to run an update before joining the meeting to enable us to unmute if they wish to speak. If you have questions, please send your questions to [email protected] and we will work with staff to have questions answered.

6 going forward would also be in-person.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
Each month since October 6, 2021, the City Council has adopted a resolution determining that conducting in-person meetings would present an imminent risk to attendees’ health and electing to continue conducting meetings using teleconferencing.

BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WOULD PRESENT
IMMINENT RISKS TO ATTENDEES’ HEALTH, AND
ELECTING TO CONTINUE CONDUCTING MEETINGS
USING TELECONFERENCING IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953(e) (AB 361)
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a state of emergency related to the COVID-19 global pandemic, a state of emergency that is ongoing; and WHEREAS, on March 13, 2020, the City Manager in her capacity as Emergency Services Director declared a local emergency due to the spread of COVID-19, and that emergency declaration was ratified on March 18, 2020; and
WHEREAS, the City of Morgan Hill remains in a state of emergency due to the continuing spread of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends physical distancing of at least six (6) feet whenever possible, avoiding crowds, and avoiding spaces that do not offer fresh air from the outdoors, particularly for people who are not fully vaccinated, or are at a higher risk of severe illness due to COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, the City’s public meeting facility is indoor and not designed to ensure circulation of fresh/outdoor air, and not designed to ensure that attendees can remain six (6) feet apart; and

HAZARDOUS VEGETATION ABATEMENT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION(S)
1. Open/Close public hearing; and
2. Adopt resolution authorizing Santa Clara County to commence hazardous vegetation abatement activities on the attached list.
Estimated Time: 5 minutes
COUNCIL PRIORITIES, GOALS & STRATEGIES
City Council Ongoing Priorities
Enhancing Public Safety
REPORT NARRATIVE:
On December 15, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution 21-053 declaring hazardous vegetation growing in the City of Morgan Hill to be a public nuisance. The Resolution further established February 2, 2022 as the date for a public hearing on properties proposed for inclusion in the 2022 Hazardous Vegetation Program (Program). With the cancellation of the February 2nd meeting, this item was continued to this meeting. Program notices (Attachment 1) have been mailed to property owners in Morgan Hill whose properties have been identified as having, or potentially having, a problem with hazardous vegetation. In addition, notices of this public hearing have been published in the newspaper per Government Code Section 39566. The purpose of this hearing is to allow property owners to object to having their property in the 2022 Hazardous Vegetation Management Program, have the City Council consider these objections and or provide general public comment regarding the program. The list of properties (Attachment 2) in the Program has been posted at City Hall for over ten days prior to this public hearing.
The City controls the growth of hazardous vegetation under the authority set out in Chapter 8.20 of the Morgan Hill Municipal Code and in Government Code Sections
7 39560 and following. The City has a contract with the Santa Clara County Consumer and Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) which provides for abatement of the property if the property owner does not maintain the property as required. If the work is completed by the Agency’s contractor, costs for the work are assessed to the property owner. Properties on the Hazardous Vegetation Program List have been inspected by Agency staff and have been found to have unsafe vegetation during the growing season. Once a property is added to the Program, it remains on the program for a minimum of three years.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Empower
The hazardous vegetation abatement program relies on a full range of community engagement approaches. Much of it begins when the County Program or City Fire Department informs a property owner that a hazardous situation has been observed on their property. As noted in the attached packet mailed to the property owners, each property owner is given several months during which he or she may consult and work together with Program staff to understand the situation and the needed remedies.
Ultimately, each property owner is invited and empowered to remedy the situation themselves in order to minimize their program charges while maintaining public safety.
In addition, many of the properties on the original list are placed on the list as a result of a complaint from a community member about a hazardous situation.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The Council can choose to adopt the resolution (Attachment 3) as presented or to exclude any of the properties on the list. In addition, the Council can choose to delay action on the resolution. Delaying action could ultimately provide the affected property owners with less notice and time to plan for abating their hazardous vegetation.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The Council adopted the annual resolution in December. This hearing and the abatement schedule are consistent with the actions taken by the Council for over a decade.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The Hazardous Vegetation Program is user fee supported. The per-lot assessment includes costs for doing the weed and brush control work plus overhead County costs to administer the program. The City does not retain any revenues for this activity. In addition to charges for failed inspections and actual abatement work, an annual inspection fee of $91 is charged to all property owners in the Program. These fees are communicated to the property owners when they are annually notified about the Program. The actual total charge per parcel will vary based on whether or not the property owner abated their own weeds and whether or not they did so before the County’s inspection, after the May 1 deadline. The County returns the actual proposed assessment list to the City in the summer for the assessment of program charges. Per
7 the approach adopted by the Council, the program charges are discussed at a local prehearing with City staff and then imposed via an administrative hearing held by the County’s Hearing Officer.
Item (Current County Fee)
Annual Inspection and Administration ($91 annually)
Noncompliant Fee charged to properties not in compliance by the May 1 deadline ($505)
Abatement Administration Fee charged to properties requiring County abatement (Contractor costs + $858)
As the County has found that its revenues in the past were not always adequate to support the program, the Board of Supervisors has adopted a fee schedule designed to achieve full cost recovery and has shifted ultimate fiscal responsibility to participating jurisdictions. If the County determines that program-wide revenues in a given year were insufficient to cover program-wide costs, the jurisdictions participating in the Program will be billed for their prorata share of the shortfall.
Administering this Program is an activity in the Public Services Department work program and budget.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Categorical Exemption
These activities are categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 21, Section 15304(i) (Minor Alterations to Land - Fuel Management Activities).

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ABATE WEEDS
Dear Property Owner:
To protect your property and the surrounding area from possible fire, your jurisdiction (city or County if in unincorporated areas) contracts with the County of Santa Clara to operate a Weed Abatement Program.
You are receiving this notice and information because our staff has determined that your parcel is part of this Program. Please read the information carefully and contact us for clarification or additional information.
Your jurisdiction has or will adopt a resolution declaring your property as one that may contain fire hazards from weeds or other debris. Following this action, your jurisdiction will conduct a public hearing to consider an abatement order which would require you to remove any hazardous vegetation or combustible debris prior to the deadline in the attached abatement schedule. The public hearing will be held on the date and at the place stated in the attached notice and provides an opportunity for you to raise any objections or concerns with this requirement.
If you believe your parcel includes an environmentally sensitive habitat, please check the box and provide additional information on the reply form to assist us in determining the best approach to abating your property.
If, after the public hearing, the Weed Abatement Program is approved for your property, the County is authorized by your city and the California Health and Safety Code sections 14875-14922 to inspect your property to confirm that the property has been cleared of hazards according to Minimum Fire Safety Standards (see enclosed brochure). Inspections will begin after the abatement deadline for your jurisdiction.
This notice does not relieve you of your responsibility to complete the necessary work prior to the deadline for your jurisdiction. You will be responsible for an annual fee of $91 to cover the cost of this compliance inspection.
If you fail to complete the abatement work prior to our inspection of your property, you will be responsible for an inspection fee of $505 per parcel, and your property will be scheduled for abatement by the County contractor. You will be assessed a County administrative fee of $858 per parcel plus the County’s cost of abatement if the County completes this work. If you complete the abatement work before the County contractor, you will not incur further charges.
The County will use the least costly method of abatement considering the physical characteristics of your property and any other environmental or related concerns. Fees are detailed in the attached price list. The total amount will be included as a special assessment on your property tax bill following confirmation of the charges by your city or the County if parcel is not in a city at a public hearing?. This hearing would be scheduled in late spring/summer 2021 with the exact date determined by your jurisdiction. Jurisdictions DocuSign Envelope ID: 4595F553-AD7F-4597-9C90-CF5048E5D0B4
post hearing information at a physical location (typically at a city hall building or other government center and most jurisdictions also publish this information on their websites) at least three days prior to the meeting.
You can avoid all costs, other than the annual compliance fee, by completing the abatement work yourself according to Minimum Fire Safety Standards (see enclosed brochure) prior to the abatement deadline for your jurisdiction and maintaining the Minimum Fire Safety Standards for the duration of fire season, which typically runs March Through October. Parcels will be removed from the program after three consecutive years of voluntary compliance (work completed by property owner prior to the deadline and confirmed by our inspection).
In preparation for this program, please complete and return the enclosed Reply Form by January 15, 2021so we are notified of your plans for abating your property.
If you designate in your reply that you intend to abate the weeds yourself, you need to complete the abatement before the deadline listed on the attached abatement schedule and maintain fire safe conditions for the duration of the fire season. Responding that you intend to provide maintenance yourself does not release you from this responsibility to have the maintenance completed before your deadline and repeated as necessary to maintain Minimum Fire Safe Standards. The County will abate hazardous vegetation as required after the deadline for your jurisdiction at your cost.
Enclosed you will find the following information:
Reply Form specific to your property. Please complete and return by January 15, 2021. Notice to Destroy Weeds informing you of an upcoming public meeting (that you must attend if you have any objections to the proposed removal of hazardous vegetation or debris from your property. Your Jurisdiction may offer the ability for you to participate in this meeting virtually; please confirm directly with your jurisdiction. Weed Abatement Program Schedule for your city with current County abatement fees. County of Santa Clara Weed Abatement Brochure.
Please be aware that any abatement performed by the County must comply with all applicable regulations.
If your property falls within an area designated as possible habitat for burrowing owls or any other protected species of bird or animal, the methods used to remove vegetation may be regulated by specific laws or local ordinances.
If you are no longer the owner of the property identified by this mailing, please notify us immediately at (408) 282-3145. If you sell your property after the date of this letter, it is your responsibility to notify the new owner and to include the obligation to pay any abatement costs in your agreement of sale. Without taking this action, you will be responsible for all hazard abatement charges assessed to the property.
Our goals are voluntary compliance with the Minimum Fire Safety Standards and all properties remain safe from fire. If you have any questions or need on-site advice to help you achieve compliance with the Minimum Fire Standards, please call us at (408) 282-3145.
