1 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 15, 2025
PREPARED BY:

Dat Nguyen, Finance Director
APPROVED BY: City Manager

APPROVE THE SERVICE PROVIDER AGREEMENT RELATED TO THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY'S 457(B) DEFERRED

COMPENSATION PLAN WITH SHUSTER ADVISORY GROUP

RECOMMENDATION(S)

1. Approve the service provider agreement related to the administration of the City's 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan with Shuster Advisory Group; and

2. Appoint the City Manager as the Plan Administrator; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute and administer the related agreements.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES, GOALS & STRATEGIES
City Council Ongoing Priorities
Fostering a Positive Organizational Culture
2024-2025 Strategic Priorities
Fiscal Sustainability
REPORT NARRATIVE:

The City provides an employer-sponsored deferred compensation plan under Section 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The 457(b) Plan provides tax benefits to employees who make deposits into the plan for their retirement. The 457(b) Plan is currently record kept by MissionSquare and Empower, with MissionSquare record keeping a majority of the plan assets and plan participants. As the sponsor of the plan, the City has certain fiduciary duties and responsibilities under State law and Federal law. These duties and responsibilities focus on ensuring the operation and investment of the plan is for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to participants and beneficiaries. Specifically, fiduciary responsibilities include:
• Investing the assets of the plan;
• Administering the plan; and
• Engaging in a prudent process for making all decisions related to the operation of the plan, including decisions related to the plan's investments and related services.

Page 11 of 327 ends

1 Staff engaged Shuster Advisory Group to conduct a review of the City’s 457(b) Plan and identify areas where plan design and pricing could be improved. One key finding was that the City was not fully leveraging the scale of the plan by utilizing two record keepers. In response, Shuster requested proposals from both MissionSquare and Empower for consolidating the 457(b) Plan with a single record keeper.

Following a thorough analysis and final negotiations, it was determined that participants would benefit from consolidating with the current record keeper, MissionSquare, due to a significant reduction in costs, as well as an enhanced platform, investment options, and services. Shuster successfully negotiated a 95% reduction in 457(b) record keeping fees with no reduction in services.

Shuster will lead the plan consolidation in coordination with MissionSquare, implementing greater fee transparency, an open architecture institutional investment menu, and fiduciary oversight practices. The estimated positive financial impact to participant accounts from the fee reduction alone is $31 million over a 30-year period (assuming no additional contributions or distributions and a 5% average annual rate of return). This estimate does not include the potential benefits from improved investment performance under the new, higher-quality, comprehensive, and low-cost investment menu, nor any future contributions or distributions.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

Inform.

This staff report serves to inform the community that the City intends to enter into a service agreement with Shuster Advisory Group for the administration of the City's 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

The City Council could decide not to enter into the service agreement with Shuster. This is not recommended as Plan participants (current and former City employees) would forgo the potential savings from the reduction in fees.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

None.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

There's no fiscal impact to the City. The fee for service of $34,000 per year will be deducted from Plan assets and will be paid to the consultant by the record keeper.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

Not a Project.

Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

2 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 15, 2025
PREPARED BY:

Kathryn Pisano, Environmental Services Manager
APPROVED BY: City Manager
APPROVE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE FY 2025-26 COUNTYWIDE

SOLID WASTE SERVICES FOOD RECOVERY PROGRAM CONTRACT

WITH JOINT VENTURE SILICON VALLEY

RECOMMENDATION(S)

1. Approve the first amendment to the FY 2025-26 Joint Venture Silicon Valley consultant agreement to extend the effective date of services from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 and increase the agreement amount by $296,801; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute and administer the first amendment to the agreement with Joint Venture Silicon Valley.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES, GOALS & STRATEGIES
City Council Ongoing Priorities
Protecting the Environment
REPORT NARRATIVE:

The purpose of this report is to recommend approval of a First Amendment to the City's consultant agreement with Joint Venture Silicon Valley (JVSV) for the administration and implementation of the FY 2025-26 Santa Clara County Food Recovery Program (Attachment 1). The cost of the agreement is fully offset by revenue from participating jurisdictions.

In July 2021, City of Morgan Hill staff began providing Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Administrator and Contracting Agent roles for administering the work of the Countywide Solid Waste Services (CSWS) Program. One of the largest contracts the City administers is for the Santa Clara County Food Recovery Program (Food Recovery Program), which is required under State of California law (SB 1383). The Food Recovery Program focuses on the collection of food from specified food-generating businesses and the redistribution of that food to feed people in need. The agreement supports implementation of the Food Recovery Program, which includes base operations to reach minimum compliance with SB 1383 compliance requirements for food recovery programs, as well as program enhancements to launch a Recovered Food Hub, develop a Food Recovery Organization Mentoring Program, and draft an Enhanced Engagement Toolkit for generators of recovered food.

Page 30 of 327 ends

2 The FY 2025-26 Agreement with JVSV supports services for the period July 1, 2025- December 31, 2025. The proposed First Amendment will extend the timeline for these services through June 30, 2026, and increase the amount from $296,801 to $593,602.

The initial FY 2025-26 Agreement was executed for six months of services due to the timing of funding contributions from participating jurisdictions. The revenue is expected to be fully received by Fall 2025 for the services through June 2026.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

Not Applicable.

The subject of this staff report is entirely administrative in nature and does not impact services directly provided to the Morgan Hill community. Given this, no community engagement was conducted prior to this meeting.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

The City Council could decline approval of the first amendment. In this scenario, the City would be unable to administer the Food Recovery Program, which is work that participating jurisdictions have asked that the City implement in its role as the CSWS Contracting Agent and Administrator.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

The City Council has not taken prior action on this agreement. Per Ordinance 2321, purchases up to $300,000 can be made under the City Manager's purchasing authority if made exclusively with Countywide funds for the administration of the CSWS Program.

As the agreement for the first six months of FY 2025-26 was $296,801, it was approved via City Manager authority on June 26, 2025.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

The First Amendment to the 2025-26 agreement increases the amount from $296,801 to $593,602. The Agreement and the proposed First Amendment are fully funded by jurisdiction contributions and will have no impact on the City's General Fund. Funding is included in the FY2025-26 Budget in Fund 246 Countywide Solid Waste Program.

Administering this program assists Morgan Hill in having a strong say in countywide programming and leadership in countywide solid waste management.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

Not a Project.

The activities associated with this item are administrative activities that will not result in direct changes to the physical environment.

Program Deliverables from MOU
A. Shall develop and coordinate a standardized and uniform method to comply with California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 12, "Short-Lived Climate Pollutants." The Program Manager will operate within the Jurisdiction's boundaries and replace the need for the Jurisdiction to create such a program on its own.

B. In the event of a CalRecycle Implementation Schedule for a food recovery capacity shortfall identified during a Santa Clara County Edible Food Recovery Capacity Assessment, The Program will work to develop the Implementation Schedule with CalRecycle and manage the effort to fund necessary capacity improvements as outlined in the Schedule. Additional Base Program costs beyond the allowable 10% yearly increase may be needed. The RWRC will review and approve or deny any needed budget changes. Funds will be collected based on the number of edible food generators and their auxiliary sites in each Jurisdiction.

C. Shall conduct a review, each fiscal year, of potential new edible food generators, to ensure that as businesses open in Santa Clara County the appropriate regulated entities are added to the lists. Closing businesses will be identified during the reporting process and be eliminated from the lists.

D. Shall provide the Jurisdictions with the information and data necessary for the Jurisdictions to make their required reports to the California Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery ("Cal Recycle").

E. Shall retain records of inspections in the Jurisdictions for a minimum of five (5) years.

F. Shall notify the Jurisdictions promptly about any related issues that require the Jurisdictions ' assistance or to request the Jurisdictions lead in resolving the issue(s) that arise related to noncompliance.

G. Shall fulfill and endeavor to exceed the annual education requirement for the Jurisdictions and provide the data needed for Jurisdictions to complete required CalRecycle reports.

H. Solicit required Food Recovery Reports from generators and Food Recovery Organization/Services, compile and provide the results to Jurisdictions for inclusion in the Implementation Records, and to Santa Clara County for use in future Capacity Planning efforts.

I. Shall conduct inspections and monitoring in compliance with CalRecycle expectations for Edible Food Generators and Food Recovery Organizations and Services.

J. The Program shall supply appropriate content for a web site, including a list of Food Recovery Organizations and Services (to be updated at least annually) and be accessible to Edible Food Generators.

K. The Program shall represent the interests of the Program with other entities, counties, and Cal Recycle.

L. The Program will develop procedures and timelines for cities and unincorporated County to encourage uniformity in enforcement, which the Cities and County would be encouraged to follow.

M. The Program shall create reports about Program activities each year in September, ahead of the budgeting process for the next fiscal year. These reports shall include a narrative about the Food Recovery Program activities, statistics, total number of pounds of food recovered as reported by Food Generators and Food Recovery Organizations ("FROs"), and any additional information 11 Updated November 2024

Docusign Envelope ID: A104F625-620E-47B2-AA45-87CC0B0E08CD needed by the Jurisdictions. Statistics about food waste prevention and food recovery in Santa Clara County will be shared publicly.

Additional Deliverables
• Target outreach and conduct in-depth technical assistance to Tier 2 generator types with more complex food recovery needs/systems, such as malls, school districts, and restaurants
• Inspect at least 10% of generators per jurisdiction
• Continue to strive to serve as a model program, and adapt systems and protocols based on learnings from the field and other jurisdictions, and updated guidance from Cal Recycle.

ENHANCEMENTS
Recovered Food Hub Launch
At the end of FY 24-25, the Hubs project had determined that 3 workgroups, North, Central, and South, would carry out the planning for each potential site, as well as map out operational needs.

Joint Venture will manage these groups. A project proposal was completed, and it was determined that before formal funding applications take place, that 3 lead organizations would be established.

Santa Clara County will likely work with Joint Venture to determine how to select lead organizations.

Deliverables

1. Work with Santa Clara County to choose sites/lead organizations based on 24-25 stakeholder engagement

2. Begin permitting or planning processes, as needed, working with workgroups and lead organizations on operational planning

3. Fundraise for project, as scoped out in 24-25
Food Recovery Organization Mentoring Program
Develop a mentoring program designed to pair food recovery organizations experienced at recovering, storing, and safely distributing prepared foods with nonprofits interested in starting or expanding their own programs. Organizations have been identified through the Small Capacity Grants program and other technical assistance that would like to enter the space, and more knowledge and experience transfer is needed.

Deliverables

1. Develop application and criteria for potential mentors and mentees

2. Design mentorship contracts for use between partners

3. Distribute funding to those willing to participate
Enhanced Engagement Toolkit
This initiative will develop various collateral and content to support FROs to accomplish many of the business engagement recommendations laid out in the Making the Most report. The Food Recovery Initiative will also use the material directly with generators to provide more intensive technical assistance, beyond what is required under SB 1383 and currently being jointly funded by the jurisdictions. The content will draw from existing best practices and content, so as not to reinvent the wheel.

Deliverables

1. Create additional prevention, recovery, and measuring/targeting of high carbon footprint foods content tailored by sector, food type and business type, including a potential focus on culturally-specific food items (electronic, print and/or video depending on budget and assessment of need).

Water System Master Plan
REPORT NARRATIVE:

The City of Morgan Hill operates 16 water wells and 10 pump (booster) stations to meet the City’s water demand. Maintenance of the water pumping systems is specialized work that requires the use of qualified contractors.

The City’s wells are equipped with a combination of submersible and vertical turbine pumps, ranging in size from 40 to 150 horsepower. Pump depth ranges from 220 feet to 290 feet, and pump columns range in size from 6 inches to 10 inches in diameter.

The maintenance of these well pumps includes the removal and replacement of pumps, well casing removal, repairs and installations, water well video inspections, electric motor repairs, and a variety of replacement parts.

The booster stations contain 32 pumps ranging in size from 3 hp to 150 hp.

Page 50 of 327 ends

3 Maintenance of those stations includes repairs and/or replacement of equipment, such as but not limited to pumps and motors, valves, meters, various mechanical and electrical components, and testing and calibration of the pump systems.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued in June 2025 to select one or two contractors for on-call repair, maintenance, and rehabilitation for the City’s water wells and pump stations. The RFP was advertised in the Morgan Hill Times. Additionally, it was posted to the City’s website and Public Purchase website. The City received three proposals for this RFP from Layne Christensen, Maggiora Brothers, and Zim Industries.

Current State of California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registrations, C-57 Well Drilling licenses, and D-21 Machinery Pumps licenses were confirmed for all three contractors before submittals were reviewed. An evaluation team of four City staff members reviewed and scored the submittals based on criteria including experience, qualifications, capability, references, quality of the proposal, and fee schedule. The average weighted scores of the evaluators are provided below, with Maggiora Bros Drilling rating highest overall. Therefore, staff recommends the award of this contract to Maggiora Bros Drilling, Inc.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

Page 51 of 327 ends

3 Inform.

This staff report serves to inform the community of this proposed agreement for the maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation of the City’s water wells and pump stations.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

Staff recommends that Council award the maintenance service contract to Maggiora Bros Drilling; however, Council may consider different alternatives:
• Reject all proposals; this action will delay scheduled maintenance service of water infrastructure and, as such, may risk the ability to meet water demand due to system failure.
• Go with another proposer. This action will not be in the best interest of the City, as staff has vetted each proposer to ensure the City selects the most responsible bidder.
• Award the contract to more than one of the proposers. This action is not recommended. Although the proposal allowed for contracting with one or two contractors, there is a significant increase in pricing between Maggiora Bros Drilling and the next most qualified contractor.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

On June 2, 2021, Council approved an agreement with Salinas Pump Company for water well services in the amount of $750,000.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

Funding for this three-year agreement is in the Council approved Capital Improvement Program Budget, project WA6003, Water Facility Rehabilitation.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

Categorical Exemption
This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of CEQA Guidelines because the work to be performed is repair, maintenance and/or minor alteration of existing well and pump station facilities involving no expansion of existing use.

APPROVE AMENDED AND RESTATED CONSULTANT AGREEMENT

FOR DESIGN PROFESSIONALS WITH HYDROSCIENCE ENGINEERS

FOR DESIGN SERVICES RELATED TO THE SEWER TRUNK LINE

BETWEEN MORGAN HILL AND GILROY

RECOMMENDATION(S)

1. Approve Amended and Restated Consultant Agreement for Design Professionals with HydroScience Engineers, Inc. to provide additional services for the New Sewer Trunk Line to Gilroy project for a total not-to-exceed amount of $654,238; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute and administer the amended and restated consultant agreement.

Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan
Wastewater System Master Plan
REPORT NARRATIVE:

The Cities of Morgan Hill and Gilroy maintain a Joint Trunk System that conveys sewer flow from both cities to the South County Regional Wastewater Authority (SCRWA) Wastewater Treatment Plant south of the City of Gilroy. Currently, Morgan Hill’s wastewater is conveyed by a single trunk line that traverses south of Morgan Hill, within unincorporated San Martin, and the City of Gilroy. The City’s Sewer Master Plan calls for a second trunk line to be built to the treatment plant to provide the necessary capacity for the City’s growth over the horizon of the 2035 General Plan. Construction of the secondary trunk line began in 2006, with the most recent phase from California

Page 75 of 327 ends

4 Avenue to Highland Avenue completed in 2016. The final segment, currently under design by Hydroscience Engineers, Inc., totals approximately 7 miles in length and extends from Highland Avenue to Renz Lane (Attachment 1).

HydroScience Engineers, Inc. was initially awarded a professional design services agreement through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process on May 4, 2016, for $651,760 to prepare plans and specifications to design a portion of the new sewer trunk line from Highland Avenue to Cohansey Avenue. Since 2016, seven amendments have been approved, totaling $2,059,956 to complete the entire design from Cohansey Avenue to Renz Lane. Since the original agreement is over 9 years old, the City Attorney's Office recommended that staff execute a new consultant agreement rather than proceed with an eighth amendment.

Additional funds are needed for HydroScience Engineers, Inc. to complete the design and provide engineering support during construction. The additional funding will be utilized by HydroScience Engineers, Inc. to: investigate and incorporate any recent development activity within project limits, additional coordination with the City of Gilroy and the County, and provide engineering services during construction. Services during construction include: meetings, site visits, reviewing RFI's, submittals, change orders, and providing record drawings. Thus, the proposed consultant agreement (Attachment 2) with HydroScience Engineers, Inc. represents the overall effort to complete the sewer trunk line design and provide construction support services for a cost not to exceed $654,238.

The project is currently at the 100% design completion level with only one easement left to acquire from PG&E. PG&E is in the process of granting the easement to the City.

However, PG&E had to obtain permission from the Public Utilities Commission first, which occurred recently on October 9, 2025. Additionally, the final design is undergoing final reviews by the County of Santa Clara and the City of Gilroy.

Once the design is approved by the City of Gilroy and County of Santa Clara, the necessary easement from PG&E is secured, and funding for the project is secured, the project will be ready for bidding. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2026, pending funding approvals.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

City staff is coordinating with the City of Gilroy and the County of Santa Clara to provide regular project status updates. All impacted property owners and businesses will be contacted and consulted prior to construction, which includes residents of San Martin.

This project is unique as it will affect other communities to the south of the City, but has no significant construction impacts for City residents.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

City Council could decide not to execute this amended and restated consultant agreement with HydroScience Engineers. However, this would prevent the completion of the plans and specifications and would delay the overall project delivery. In addition,

Page 76 of 327 ends

4 not executing the amended and restated agreement would provide no design support during construction, which could cause project delays and increase costs.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

On May 4, 2016, City Council approved a design agreement with HydroScience Engineers, Inc. for $651,760 for the preparation of design plans and specifications for the sewer trunk segment between Highland and Cohansey.

On April 19, 2017, City Council approved the acceleration of the sewer trunk line and an award of a first amendment with Hydroscience Engineers, Inc. for design services for a total contract amount of $1,173,660.

On December 4, 2019, City Council approved the Second Amendment with Hydroscience Engineers, Inc. for an additional amount of $531,050 for additional engineering services.

On December 15, 2021, City Council approved the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Fourth Amendment with Hydroscience Engineers for additional services related to the new Sewer Trunk line between Morgan Hill and Gilroy.

On December 6, 2023, City Council approved the Sixth Amendment with HydroScience Engineers for additional services related to the new Sewer Trunk line between Morgan Hill and Gilroy.

On April 2, 2025, City Council authorized the City Manager to submit a loan application to the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) for the construction of a new sewer trunk line.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

There are sufficient funds available for these additional services in the FY 2024/25 - FY 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget under CIP Project WW3008, New Trunk Line, utilizing the Sewer Impact Fund (Fund 641). With City Council’s approval of this amended and restated consultant agreement, the total not to exceed contract amount would become $654,238.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

Project.

David J. Powers prepared an Initial Study (IS) to identify and mitigate all environmental impacts as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. On December 15, 2021, City Council approved the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the new Sewer Trunk line between Morgan Hill and Gilroy.

EXHIBIT A

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Date: September 23, 2025
Client: City of Morgan Hill Contact: David Gittleson, P.E.

Project: Sewer Relief Trunk Line Project (from Renz to Highland)

SCOPE OF WORK FOR ADDITIONAL DESIGN SERVICES AND ENGINEERING SERVICES

DURING CONSTRUCTION
This document presents the proposed scope of work and tasks to provide supplementary design and Engineering Services During Construction (ESDC) for the subject project. The billing rates for these services will be based on HydroScience’s current published Standard Schedule of Billing Rates, updated annually. A 3% annual rate escalation is incorporated into the fee calculation.

Scope of Services:

Task A – Supplementary Design:

After submitting 90% Design Submittal, HydroScience collected and addressed multiple sets of review comments from the County of Santa Clara and City of Gilroy. These review comments triggered the need to modify the design in ways that were not minor, including modifying pipeline alignments, shifting and adding manholes, preparing traffic control exhibits, identifying potential staging areas, and creating new drawing sheets and new drawing details. At Gilroy’s request, the plans for this project will now include pavement rehabilitation work from Gilroy’s CIP list. Morgan Hill’s contractor will perform the pavement rehab work as part of the sewer trunk project.

HydroScience also collected, reviewed, and incorporated future developments (seven total) into the 100% Plans. HydroScience has submitted the 100% Plans. Once final comments are received, HydroScience will finalize the plans and specifications for bidding. The City will incorporate WIFI requirements into the boilerplate front end specifications.

HydroScience’s standard billing rates have changed for 2025 and are subject to a 3% per year increase. The attached fee schedule calculates average billing rates over the remainder of the project.

Task B – Engineering Services During Construction:

HydroScience will provide engineering support services during the construction phase as follows:

Conformed Plans and Specifications
HydroScience will compile the conformed plans and specifications to include any changes made during the bid period.

Pre-Construction Meeting
HydroScience will attend the pre-construction meeting (by 2 team members). The meeting location is assumed to be the Morgan Hill City offices.

Submittals
HydroScience will review submittals for conformance to the contract documents, design intent, County and City standards, and project goals to minimize public impacts and avoid construction delays.

Page 91 of 327 ends

Addressing up to 40 submittals plus 50% resubmittals is included.

An allowance is included for our geotechnical engineering and trenchless specialist subconsultants to review and respond to submittals relevant to their areas of expertise.

Construction Progress Meetings and Site Visits
The Project Manager’s attendance at regular construction progress meetings is primarily covered in the CM and Inspection Assistance scope and fee, proposed under separate cover. An additional 252 hrs of professional services is included in this Amendment to cover additional staff attendance as required. This may include attendance by our Senior Technical Expert, Eric Petrel, or by additional support staff.

A budget of 160 hrs is included for HydroScience staff to visit the site on an as-needed basis to observe existing conditions or construction activity relating to issues requiring the engineer’s attention.

Addressing up to 88 construction meetings and 12 site visits is assumed.

RFIs and General Assistance
HydroScience will respond to contractor requests for information (RFIs). Addressing up to 40 RFIs is included.

HydroScience will provide general email and telephone support to the City Project Manager and inspectors, Construction Manager, and the Contractor.

An allowance is included for our geotechnical engineering and trenchless specialist subconsultants to review and respond to RFIs and provide general assistance on an as-needed basis.

Change Orders and Field Orders
HydroScience will review change order requests and field orders, and assist the City in preparation of responses. Addressing up to five (5) change orders and (10) field orders is included.

Record Drawings
HydroScience will prepare “as-built” record drawings from the Contractor’s redline markups (one set) upon completion of construction. This scope assumes the Contractor will keep diligent redline markups and notes that are legible and complete. Minor effort is included for correspondence with the City for clarifications on the redlines.

Deliverables:
• Conformed Project Plans, (pdf file and an electronic copy in an editable format such as AutoCAD 2023).
• Conformed Project Specifications (pdf file, and an electronic copy in an editable format such as Microsoft Word and Excel)
• Submittal review comments and responses (pdf file)
• Responses to RFIs (pdf file)
• Change Order comments and responses (pdf file)
• Field Order comments and responses (pdf file)

REPORT NARRATIVE:

The City of Morgan Hill previously received $2 million in competitive grant funding from the State of California through the Urban Community Drought Relief Grant to upgrade the Butterfield Basin and support groundwater recharge. The project is currently in the approved FY 24-25 through FY 29-30 Capital Improvement Budget under the Fisher/Butterfield Storm System Expansion Project (SD4006). The intent of the project is to convert the Butterfield Basin, which currently operates as an off-stream basin intended to support flood control activities associated with the Butterfield Channel, to a

Page 97 of 327 ends

5 multi-use basin that will support groundwater recharge, stormwater trash capture requirements, and improved flood protection. The stormwater trash capture requirements for the City are State-mandated infrastructure improvements, and the multi-use basin construction has been identified by staff as a means to meet requirements without significant general fund cost impacts.

A request for proposals was issued on May 29, 2024, for the project's feasibility study.

Proposals for the work were received from two firms. On September 4, 2024, the Council voted to approve the Consultant Agreement with Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers for $74,472 to complete a feasibility study and conceptual design for the proposed conversion of Butterfield Basin to a multi-use basin. Then, on September 10, 2025, the First Amendment was executed to extend the contract time to March 31, 2026, to complete the feasibility study. The proposed Second Amendment will complete the design of the project, request additional funds of $218,880, and extend the contract time to March 31, 2027. If approved by City Council, the total not-to-exceed amount would become $293,352 ($74,472 Original + $218,880 Second Amendment).

Additional funds of $218,880, along with the contract time extension, are needed for Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers to prepare the design plans and specifications for project bidding for construction by late spring of 2026, provide engineering support during project bidding and construction, and prepare a Regional Retention Basin Plan for submittal to the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. The preparation of the Regional Retention Basin Plan will provide alternative compliance for stormwater post-construction requirements for projects that demonstrate infeasibility to provide required post-construction stormwater quality measures on the project site.

Staff recommends approving the design services agreement amendment to reduce delays and achieve cost savings associated with the previous design feasibility study.

Preparation of design plans and specifications is expected to take 13 weeks, with construction anticipated to begin in May 2026.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

Inform.

This staff report serves to inform the community of the proposed Second Amendment to the design services agreement with Schaaf & Wheeler. When the project reaches the construction phase, the City will work to inform the adjacent community members of any potential impacts.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

City Council may decide not to amend the Shaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers' contract and direct staff to perform another Request for Proposal. Staff does not believe reissuing the request for proposal will result in any cost savings and would delay the preparation of design plans and specifications by a minimum of three months, potentially risking grant funding awarded to this project.

Subject: Butterfield Basin Construction Document and Retention Basin Plan Preparation Dear Kristian:

This letter provides a scope for engineering services requested by the City of Morgan Hill to complete contract documents, prepare an off-site regional retention plan, and provide engineering services during construction for the conversion of the Butterfield Detention Basin into an online retention and recharge facility with sediment and trash capture. Final design and contract document preparation will be based on our feasibility study and conceptual design, completed under separate contract.

We are obtaining site mapping including topography and boundary reconciliation from MH Engineering with surplus funds from the previous contract. That mapping will be used to prepare contract documents. Given the level of design detail already provided, we propose two submittals: 90% and Final. City comments to the conceptual plan will be addressed an incorporated into the 90% PS&E submittal, which is essentially a final set of construction documents. Following City review of the 90% PS&E, we will prepare a set of construction documents suitable for public bid.

The City believes that State and Federal regulatory approvals are not required for construction, so environmental documentation and permitting are not part of this scope of services.

Construction must be completed by December 2026. We will submit the 90% PS&E by the end of November 2025. Our scope of engineering services during construction task assumes construction between May 15, 2026 and October 15, 2026. Roscoe Moss indicates an approximate lead time of six weeks between receipt of order to completion of the trash screens.

Specific Task Scope Items
Task 1. 90% PS&E
Schaaf & Wheeler will use the base mapping prepared by MH Engineering and its conceptual plan to develop 90% plans, specifications, and estimate of probable construction value. Plans will include demolition plans, grading plans, sections, elevations, and construction details including the trash capture device and supporting structures. The City will provide contract language and general conditions in Word format.

Task 2. Contract Documents
Schaaf & Wheeler will incorporate City review comments to the 90% PS&E and prepare final contract documents suitable for public bid.

Task 3. Regional Retention Plan Preparation
Schaaf & Wheeler will repurpose work completed during the conceptualization phase to prepare a plan to use the repurposed Butterfield Basin as a regional retention facility for the City as it applies to the Regional Water Quality Control Board for alternative compliance to post-construction stormwater management requirements. This plan is limited to the Butterfield Basin and its built-out tributary area. The plan will include performance requirement applicability, watershed description, drainage and flood control aspects of the basin, hydrology and hydraulic analysis, and infiltration analysis. Draft and final plans will be prepared for City review. This work does not include applying to the Board, but does include responding to their commentary.

Task 4. Bid Period Services
Schaaf & Wheeler will provide engineering services during the bid period, including:

1. Responses to bidder requests for clarification and information (RFIs).

2. Preparation of bid addenda.

3. Attendance at pre-bid conference, if held.

Task 5. Engineering Services During Construction
Schaaf & Wheeler will provide engineering services during the construction period, including:

1. Prepare responses to contractor requests for information (RFIs).

2. Revisions to contract documents based on contractor RFIs and construction change orders (CCOs).

3. Review contractor submittals. (Two rounds of review for each submittal included.)

4. Periodic construction site observation visits.

5. Attendance at pre-construction conference, if held.

6. Final observations and punch list.

7. Record drawings based on contractor markups.

Daily inspection and construction management are not included. Our not-to-exceed budget is $.

Time will be billed using our Standard Charge Rate Schedule (attached).

Please feel free to call me with specific questions.

Sincerely,
Schaaf & Wheeler

REPORT NARRATIVE:

GIS Division Background
The Geographic Information Systems Division (GIS) is part of the Public Services Department and provides geographic mapping and spatial data analysis that supports staff projects and Enterprise systems Citywide. This division is managed by the GIS Administrator, who reports to the Public Services Director.

The GIS Administrator oversees the operation of GIS services and an Enterprise GIS system that can integrate with each City department. GIS is a key technology, and enhancements to GIS capabilities boost productivity for many City departments.

The Proposed Agreement
The proposed agreement includes a series of six GIS projects to update and provide new functionality for the City’s GIS system. If authorized and approved, work would begin immediately as the projects are time-sensitive. The agreement is with Geographic Technologies Group (GTG), a consulting firm that specializes in local government GIS.

GTG implemented the City’s first Enterprise GIS system in 2019, followed by various integrations with other City systems and other types of GIS projects to build out the City’s GIS capabilities, and is currently contracted by the City to provide as-needed GIS technical support services.

The need for these projects is driven by changing GIS technology requirements. GIS

Page 129 of 327 ends

6 products are undergoing rapid change, compelling GIS customers like the City to adapt as software products are retired and replaced by new ones. The City needs to make these updates for our GIS system to continue to function and support the City’s needs.

Over the past several years, City staff have been reviewing and evaluating the changes in GIS technology and the City’s options for responding. The proposed projects are recommended by City staff as the most efficient and cost-effective path forward and the only option that allows the City’s GIS division to continue to use its existing integrations and data to provide critical mapping information. This staff report describes the GIS projects that are necessitated by the changes to the software we currently use.

Our Enterprise GIS software needs to be updated to a new version because it is being retired. This is considered a major upgrade with major implications for current and proposed GIS projects. In addition to the Enterprise upgrade, five other interdependent projects are planned. Some of these projects were previously planned but needed to be rescheduled to ensure coordination and implementation following the Enterprise update in the most cost-efficient sequence.

The Six Projects:

ArcGIS Enterprise Upgrade
This project updates our Enterprise GIS software system, providing City staff with secure access to GIS applications and data. Essential applications such as Cityworks (maintenance and utilities asset management), SeeClickFix (maintenance and utility customer reporting program), Citymaps (internal web map), Central Square/Trakit (building permitting), POSM (wastewater system inspection and CCTV video) and BOSS811 (utilities location before digging) rely on the GIS Enterprise portal to provide GIS mapping and data for these applications to function.

Our current Enterprise version, released five years ago, is nearing the end of its lifecycle. As a result, there are no further updates or patches available, and it will cease to be supported by mid-2026.

The GIS Division budget funds this project.

CityMaps Migration and Enhancement
This project involves migrating our CityMaps software to a new application and adding new functionality. This is one of several projects that were previously funded but were paused to allow for re-scoping and re-scheduling to take advantage of changes in technology and so that they could be coordinated with the Enterprise update and the other impacted tasks in the most cost-efficient sequence.

CityMaps is a web mapping application internal to the City that makes many of the City’s key GIS layers widely and readily available for staff viewing. CityMaps contains sensitive data, so it is not available to the public. Some uses of CityMaps include looking up information on a parcel, checking zoning or general plan areas and natural

Page 130 of 327 ends

6 hazard zones such as fire or flooding, creating a mailing list for public notification, and viewing the location of utility infrastructure.

The CityMaps software is at the end of its lifecycle. Updates and improvements are no longer possible with the current software, which is scheduled to be retired in 2026.

Migrating to the current software will allow the City to continue to provide GIS information to staff. The new software will enable significantly easier data updates and the addition of numerous new map layers. Staff will also be able to view the wastewater main CCTV video in CityMaps.

The GIS Division budget funds this project.

POSM Data Integration
POSM is a Utilities map application used to manage inspection data and CCTV video for wastewater mains and manholes. This is one of several projects that were previously funded but were paused to allow for re-scoping and re-scheduling to take advantage of changes in technology and so that they could be coordinated with the Enterprise update and the other impacted tasks in the most cost-efficient sequence.

Currently, this inspection information and video do not feed back to the GIS enterprise database. This project will integrate the POSM data with the GIS database so that data and video can be viewed by staff in the new CityMaps application.

The Wastewater Division budget funds this project.

Utility Data Management Migration
This major project involves migrating the City’s utility GIS mapping data to a new organizational structure, ensuring compatibility with the proposed Enterprise system upgrade and desktop GIS. Water, wastewater, and stormwater are each mapped as a data network in GIS so that when a facility, such as a main or manhole, is moved to a correct location in the mapped network, for example, the other features connected to it will move with it.

The three utility networks are made up of approximately 30 different GIS data layers, each housing a different utility type, including water mains, hydrants, and pump stations, wastewater mains and manholes, and stormwater mains and inlets.

This data is currently stored in an outdated network version, which can only be modified using an older version of GIS Desktop. This version is scheduled for retirement on March 1st, 2026. Staff explored moving to the network structure recommended by our software vendor, but after establishing that it would be significantly expensive and disruptive to implement, staff worked with a GIS consultant to identify an alternative.

This project would implement the alternative data network, which meets the City’s priority data needs at significantly lower cost and disruption. It will be a significant interim step towards a full utility network structure if the City wants to pursue that in the

Page 131 of 327 ends

6 future.

This project will enable the City to update the utility network by adding utilities in new developments as they are built and making corrections, known as red lines, to the water, wastewater, and stormwater data networks. In addition to moving to a new network, this project reorganizes the data and removes many legacy data fields that are no longer needed, resulting in more streamlined, efficient layers that are easier to update. Additionally, the project includes funding for additional data cleanup if needed.

A significant portion of the project time will be dedicated to ensuring that all changes are compatible with existing utility integrations, such as Cityworks, CityMaps, POSM, and BOSS811, and are implemented as seamlessly as possible to minimize disruption.

The final part of the project will be to explore and test various utility data solutions/applications that are designed to work with the new data structure, and that will provide staff with simpler, more convenient ways to manage the data. Implementing the applications is optional, and the City will only pay for those that are selected for implementation.

This project is funded by the Water and Wastewater Divisions' budgets.

ArcGIS Hub Implementation
This project creates a platform that will allow the public to securely download selected, non-sensitive GIS datasets from the City’s website. This will be in the form of prepackaged data and will not include a public portal for viewing the datasets. It sets the baseline framework for a future portal, which would require significantly more funding and staff time to implement.

This is one of several projects that were previously funded but were paused to allow for re-scoping and re-scheduling to take advantage of changes in technology and so that they could be coordinated with the Enterprise update and the other impacted tasks in the most cost-efficient sequence.

Currently, the City does not provide any GIS data for public web download, and requests need to be made directly to City staff. As well as making the selected data much more widely available to the public, this project will save time for those requesting data and for staff responding to requests.

This project is funded in the GIS Division budget.

Field Maps for Utilities and Maintenance
This project enables Maintenance and Utilities teammates to map new data in the field, such as park facilities, and flag data corrections (redlines) using the Field Maps app on their devices. This is one of several projects that were previously funded but were paused to allow for re-scoping and re-scheduling to take advantage of changes in

Page 132 of 327 ends

6 technology and so that they could be coordinated with the Enterprise update and the other impacted tasks in the most cost-efficient sequence.

Currently, the City lacks a straightforward method for staff to map new features or document corrections to existing features in the field and integrate this mapping into the enterprise database. This will allow staff to see their location and the location of existing utilities for context when they map a feature.

This project is funded by the GIS, Wastewater, Water, Street Maintenance, and Park Maintenance budgets.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

Inform.

For the ArcGIS Hub Implementation project, the public will be informed on the City's website and provided with information on how to download the packaged GIS data.

For the other five projects, which are internal infrastructure projects, no engagement is planned.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

The Council could decide not to authorize the agreement. This would result in the failure of the GIS Enterprise system when the software expires in 2026. GIS Enterprise databases and their associated GIS layers would not be available. GIS data integrations with Cityworks, Citymaps, Central Square (Trakit), POSM, and BOSS811 would fail.

The Council could decide to authorize the agreement without the Utility Data Migration project. This portion of the project is the highest cost, totaling $146,750 of the overall cost. In this circumstance, the data would not be connected in a network. They cannot be updated or modified when new developments are constructed or corrections are needed. In effect, the data would be frozen in its existing state, becoming increasingly outdated over time, which would deprive the City of accurate utilities mapping during a period of rapid construction. In addition, although this project is the most costly of the six recommended projects, it is funded through the Water and Wastewater Funds. Hence, a decision not to proceed would not result in savings to the General Fund. Furthermore, failing to move forward could significantly impact the Utility Division's ability to utilize GIS technology in the future.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

None.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

The total cost is $238,173. This item is included in the current adopted budget (FY25- 26) and is part of the GIS Division work plan. It is funded across multiple operational divisions, including GIS (730.2530), Wastewater (640.5900), Water (650.5710), Street

Page 133 of 327 ends

6 Maintenance (010.6100), and Park Maintenance (010.8030).

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

Not a Project.

The work involves software as part of organizational or administrative activities of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

REPORT NARRATIVE:

The Utilities Division is proposing to purchase three vehicles in the current fleet, which are due for replacement based on their scheduled service life. Currently, California public entities must comply with the State's Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation, which requires that, in each calendar year, any purchase of a gas or diesel vehicle over 8,500 gross vehicle weight (GVW) must be offset by the purchase of an electric vehicle in the same weight category. The Streets Division already made a purchase earlier this year

Page 161 of 327 ends

7 of a Ford F-150 electric vehicle. Thus, the proposed purchases in this report include one gas valve truck, one diesel combo truck, and one electric cargo van, which will allow the City to comply with state regulations.

Staff prepared detailed specifications for the vehicles scheduled for replacement based on Division needs and requested quotes using Sourcewell cooperative purchasing agreements. The Sourcewell cooperative purchasing agreements are consistent with Section 3.04.180 of the Morgan Hill Municipal Code, which allows the purchasing officer the authority to join with other public jurisdictions in cooperative purchasing plans or programs. Sourcewell conducts formal bidding for all contracts and maintains a broad vendor base. Staff do not believe they can achieve better pricing than Sourcewell by doing their own formal bidding process. Details for each purchase are as follows:

The cargo van is used daily by the water meter staff to facilitate meter repairs and replacements as needed throughout the City. The replacement schedule for this van was funded under the assumption of a gas vehicle replacement. However, this purchase needs to be an electric vehicle to comply with state regulations, and thus, additional funds are needed.

The valve truck is used daily by water meter staff to facilitate valve exercising. Valve exercising is a process of opening and closing a valve multiple times to keep it working properly. Valves are subject to a lot of wear and tear, so regular maintenance is necessary to keep them functioning correctly. Exercising the valve helps prevent sticking and corrosion, making them easier to operate and leading to better shut-offs.

The valve exercising equipment is highly specialized and, due to material and supply issues, has increased exponentially over the past 10 years. Thus, additional funds are needed.

Lastly, the wastewater flushing truck is used daily to flush out debris and sediment from sewer lines. Staff has requested the purchase of a combo truck in place of the flushing truck. The combo truck will enable staff to vacuum up debris as needed, significantly increasing the efficiency of the process. The combo truck would provide a backup vehicle when the other vacuum truck in the fleet is out of service, and it is smaller than the current flushing truck, allowing access to areas the larger vehicle cannot facilitate.

Additional funds above the replacement funds are needed to purchase the combo truck.

The table below shows additional funds needed for the purchase of these vehicles.

These additional funds are available due to savings in the water and wastewater enterprise funds from last fiscal year.

Staff reached out to the Ford Store of Morgan Hill for the two Ford vehicles, which require upfitting. Unfortunately, the Ford Store does not offer upfitting services.

Staff recommends the purchase of a Ford T-350 E Transit Cargo Van from Rush Truck Center in the amount of $75,323, a Ford F-550 Truck with a Wachs valve turner up-fit from Rush Truck Center in the amount of $254,753, and a Vac-Con Combo Jet/Vacuum Truck from Municipal Maintenance Equipment in the amount of $647,687. Staff also recommends the disposal of surplus vehicles in accordance with Section 3.04.400 of the City of Morgan Hill Municipal Code. Quotes are attached to this report.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

Inform.

This staff report serves to inform the community of the proposed purchase of the Utilities Division replacement vehicles.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

The Council could choose not to approve one or more of the recommended purchases.

However, strategic purchasing of these vehicles is warranted given the nature of the current market and state regulations currently in place. Delaying the replacement of these aging vehicles can result in costly maintenance prices and fleet downtime.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
• On June 19, 2024, the City Council adopted the budget for FY24-25 and FY25- 26, which includes the purchase of replacement vehicles. • On May 3, 2023, the City Council delegated authority to the City Manager to make all future vehicle and equipment replacement purchases that were previously approved during the budget process, as long as the purchases follow the City's purchasing policy and no additional appropriations are needed.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

A portion of the vehicle replacement purchases is included in the current budget within

Page 163 of 327 ends

7 the Equipment Replacement Fund (790) of $681,071. The additional funds, $94,005 in water (Fund 650) and $202,687 in wastewater (Fund 640), will come from their respective funds' current year adopted budget. Any funds received from the surplus sales of vehicles and equipment will be deposited into the Equipment Replacement Fund, to be credited towards future replacement vehicles.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

Not a Project.

Vehicle replacement is an administrative program that will not result in a change to the physical environment. This action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act.

APPROVE OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS CONCESSION
AND WAIVER REQUESTS FOR THE MYRTLE – MYRTLE

INVESTMENTS RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan
REPORT NARRATIVE:

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Myrtle Investments, LLC has applied for a Design Permit and Vesting Tentative Map for the development of a 16-unit townhome community on two parcels totaling approximately 0.68 acres located at 30–50 Myrtle Avenue (APNs 726-14-048 and 726- 14-049). The project site is within a residential neighborhood designated for infill housing under the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan. Surrounding uses include singlefamily homes and multifamily developments of similar scale, with Monterey Road and Downtown Morgan Hill located within walking distance. The project consists of four attached townhome buildings, each ranging in size from three to six units. All units are three-bedroom homes ranging between 1,350 and 1,817 square feet of livable space.

Each unit includes an attached garage, private outdoor patio space, and access to landscaped common areas. The proposed architecture is contemporary in style with articulated façades, balconies, and varied rooflines designed to fit into the existing

Page 170 of 327 ends

8 neighborhood character.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITMENT
Pursuant to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO), for-sale projects located outside the Downtown Specific Plan area are required to provide 15% affordable units.

For a 16-unit project, this equates to 2.4 affordable units. The applicant will provide two (2) deed-restricted moderate-income (80% AMI) ownership units onsite. The remaining

0.4 fractional obligation will be satisfied through the payment of an in-lieu fee. This combination of onsite units and in-lieu fee payment satisfies the City’s IHO requirements. By providing on-site inclusionary units, the project qualifies for the benefits of the California Density Bonus Law (DBL), including the right to request concessions and waivers.

CONCESSION REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a concession to modify the City’s requirement that existing overhead utility lines along the Myrtle Avenue frontage be undergrounded. The applicant estimates that undergrounding costs, which are estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, would significantly impact project feasibility and compromise the inclusion of affordable units.

WAIVER REQUESTS
The applicant has identified four development standards that would physically preclude the project from being constructed as designed and is requesting waivers as allowed under DBL:

Standard Requirement Proposal Waiver Required
On-Site Parking 36 total spaces (2
per unit +1 guest per
4 units)
34 total spaces Yes

Yes

ANALYSIS
Under Government Code §65915(e)(1), the City must grant requested waivers and concessions unless it can make specific written findings, supported by substantial evidence, that the request would:

1. Have a specific, adverse impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of

Page 171 of 327 ends

8 Section 65589.5, upon health or safety, and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact. A specific adverse impact is defined as a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete.

2. Have an adverse impact on property listed on the California Register of Historical Resources; or

3. Be contrary to state or federal law.

Staff has reviewed the request and finds that none of the statutory findings can be made. The requested concession and waivers are necessary to achieve the project’s allowed density and to ensure the inclusion of affordable housing units.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

The project has a dedicated project webpage on the City’s website. A project sign has been posted on the site, and the Vesting Subdivision Map and Design Permit will require Planning Commission review at a duly noticed public hearing. At that time, notices will be mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the site and published in the Morgan Hill Times.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

City Council may deny the applicant’s concession request if the Council makes the findings identified in Government Code §65915(d)(1).

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

None.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

All review costs for this project are funded through the development application fees.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

The project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Assembly Bill 130 (AB 130), which provides a statutory exemption for eligible residential development projects.

City of Morgan Hill
Planning Division
17575 Peak Avenue
Morgan Hill, CA 95037
Attn: Joey Dinh & Adam Paszkowski
RE: Density Bonus Application Pursuant to California State Density Bonus Law (Gov.

Code §65915)
Project Address: 30-50 Myrtle Avenue, Morgan Hill, CA 95037 Project Description: 16 Townhomes – Request for Relief from Undergrounding Requirement
Dear Planning Staff,
We respectfully submit this formal request for a concession under the California State Density Bonus Law (SDBL) in connection with our proposed 16-unit residential townhome project located at 30-50 Myrtle Avenue in the City of Morgan Hill (the “Project”). The Project includes two (2) moderate (80% AMI) deed-restricted affordable units in accordance with SDBL requirements, and therefore qualifies for certain benefits, including concessions and incentives that will facilitate the production of critically needed housing in the City.

As authorized by Government Code §65915(d), we hereby request a development concession to modify the City’s standard requirement to underground existing overhead utility lines along the project frontage. This letter outlines the legal basis for our request, the project’s eligibility under state law, and the rationale supporting the necessity of this concession.

The proposed project consists of 16 attached townhomes located on two parcels at 30-50 Myrtle Avenue, within a residential area designated for infill development. The project will provide a mix of market-rate and deed-restricted affordable housing units to meet both local and regional housing needs.

Proposed Incentive
In accordance with California Government Code §65915(b), the project includes two (2) affordable units restricted to moderate-income households, thereby qualifying for the benefits and protections of the State Density Bonus Law. These benefits include, among

Page 176 of 327 ends

other things, the right to request development concessions and waivers necessary to make the project feasible and to accommodate the provision of affordable housing.

We are requesting a concession to waive the requirement that all existing overhead utility lines along the project frontage on Myrtle Avenue be placed underground. While we understand the City’s general policy preference for undergrounding utilities, we believe this requirement constitutes a development standard that may be modified pursuant to SDBL when such a standard would have the effect of physically or economically precluding the construction of a qualifying housing development.

California Government Code §65915(d)(1) states:
"The city … shall grant the concession or incentive requested by the applicant unless the city … makes a written finding, based upon substantial evidence, of either of the following:
(A) The concession or incentive is not required in order to provide for affordable housing costs …
(B) The concession or incentive would have a specific, adverse impact … on public health or safety, the physical environment, or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.
(C) The concession or incentive would be contrary to state or federal law." The cost of undergrounding utility lines is substantial and would significantly impact the financial feasibility of the project. Based on preliminary engineering estimates, the cost of undergrounding utilities along the site frontage is hundreds-of-thousands of dollars. This expenditure would directly undermine the economic viability of the affordable housing components of the project.

In addition, unlike newly created infrastructure within the subdivision itself, the undergrounding of existing utility lines along the public right-of-way serves broader citywide or regional utility objectives and not just the project. Imposing this requirement on a small-scale infill development that is voluntarily providing affordable units places an unfair burden on housing providers and contradicts the legislative intent of SDBL.

The City of Morgan Hill, like most communities in California, faces significant housing production challenges. The City’s Housing Element outlines the urgent need for both market-rate and affordable housing, and identifies infill and higher-density development as a primary strategy to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

Granting this concession aligns with the City’s stated policy goals, particularly those emphasizing housing affordability, financial feasibility, and reduced regulatory barriers for qualifying developments. This request also supports the goals outlined in Senate Bill 330

Page 177 of 327 ends

(Housing Crisis Act of 2019) and Assembly Bill 1397, which encourage streamlined approvals and prohibit local requirements that act as constraints to affordable housing production.

Pursuant to the State of California’s State Density Bonus Law (“SDBL”) (California Government Code § 65915), the City is required to waive or reduce development standards if required to physically construct the project unless it makes specific findings that any such proposal will cause a public health or safety problem, an environmental problem, harm to historical property, or otherwise violates the law. Specifically, development standards are defined in the SDBL in section 65915(o)(1) as follows:
(o) “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, law, policy, resolution, or regulation." Proposed Waivers
The SDBL clearly separates and defines Waivers and Incentives/Concessions. Specifically, a Waiver is a reduction or waiver of site development standards that would otherwise "physically preclude" the construction of an affordable housing project. An Incentive/Concession relates not to “physically precluding” issues (e.g. the actual site plan, design, height, setbacks), but rather to “identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions” for the Project. It is very important that Waivers and Concessions are not mixed up as the SDBL allows for unlimited Waivers, but only a stipulated number of Concessions depending upon the level of affordability provided in the project.

As established in the frequently referenced landmark case of Wollmer v. City of Berkeley (2009) 179 Cal. App. 4th 933 the City does not the ability to require that the Project be redesigned as an alternative to granting the requested waivers.

The waivers requested below include all site development standards that the Project does not meet and that would “physically preclude” the project from being constructed as designed including, specifically, the following:

Page 178 of 327 ends

Parking Requirement -
Requested Waiver: On-Site Parking Requirement reduced to Thirty-Four parking Spots.

Standard - Development Standards require the Project to provide Thirty-Six (36) parking spots on site. Two (2) parking spots per residential unit and One (1) guest parking spot for every Four (4) residential units. [2 Parking Spots * 16 Residential Unit = 32 Parking Spots + (16 Residential Units / ¼ Guest Parking Spots)= 32 Parking Spots + 4 Guest Parking Spots = 36 Total Parking Spots])
Waiver – Provide Thirty-Four (34) parking spots on site.

Rationale - With the townhomes taking up the majority of the site, we are physically precluded from providing any more than Thirty-Four (34) parking spots on site. Absent the waiver the Project would no longer be feasible and any more parking spots would result in less housing units.

Building Width Requirement
Requested Waiver: Allow two (2) residential units to be constructed at Sixteen (16) feet in width.

Standard – Development Standards require a minimum building width of Eighteen (18) feet for townhome-style residential units.

Waiver – Permit two (2) units within the Project to be Sixteen (16) feet in width.

Rationale – Site constraints and efficient land utilization necessitate the reduction for these two units. The design ensures livable layouts that meet quality-of-life standards while allowing the Project to maximize housing production. Absent this waiver, the Project would lose units and underutilize the site, in conflict with the City’s housing goals.

On-Site Recreational Amenities Requirement
Requested Waiver: Eliminate the requirement to provide two (2) Tier 1 on-site recreational amenities.

Standard – Development Standards require projects of this size to provide at least two (2) Tier 1 recreational amenities on site.

Waiver – Provide no Tier 1 amenities on site.

Rationale – The limited site area and townhouse configuration preclude the addition of two Tier 1 amenities without reducing housing units. The Project design incorporates meaningful private open space for each unit, ensuring residents have access to quality outdoor living areas.

Page 179 of 327 ends

Tree Replacement Requirement
Requested Waiver: Eliminate the requirement to replace removed trees at a Two-to-One (2:1) ratio.

Standard – Development Standards require tree replacement at a higher ratio than 2:1 when protected trees are removed.

Waiver – Provide tree replacement per the submitted plans.

Rationale – Due to site constraints, it is not feasible to replant at the full two-to-one ratio without significantly reducing the number of housing units or compromising essential infrastructure. The Project will replace trees at the highest feasible ratio while incorporating new landscaping and canopy coverage to maintain neighborhood character and support environmental goals.

Conclusion
We appreciate the City’s role in ensuring safe, attractive, and sustainable infrastructure in the community. However, the specific requirement to underground power lines in this context imposes a financial obstacle that jeopardizes the viability of a much-needed housing project that includes affordable units.

For the reasons stated above, we respectfully request the City grant this concession pursuant to California Government Code §65915(d). We are committed to working collaboratively with City staff and are happy to provide cost breakdowns, feasibility analyses, or additional supporting materials upon request.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us for further information. Thank you for your consideration.

REPORT NARRATIVE:

The purpose of this item is to provide the City Council with an opportunity to consider awarding the engineered wood fiber and mulch maintenance service agreement to JET Mulch, Inc., in the not-to-exceed amount of $120,000 for the initial two-year term. To address community playground safety needs, the City has solicited proposals for engineered wood fiber and mulch to ensure that they are maintained at safe and adequate levels in City play areas throughout the year. In addition to play areas, facility landscape areas, and landscaped parking lot planters, this contract will also maintain these areas. The actual amount of fiber and mulch installed will vary depending upon facility use, weather, and other factors.

The City's current maintenance service agreement with JET Mulch, Inc. expires on October 31, 2025. The new agreement is proposed with an initial two-year term at $120,000 ($60,000 per year) with authorization for the City Manager to execute three (3) consecutive one-year extensions with the ability to increase the not-to-exceed

Page 187 of 327 ends

10 amount to allow for annual price increases up to 5% of the prior year's pricing. The initial two-year term would be from November 1, 2025, to October 31, 2027.

Proposals for the new engineered wood fiber and mulch agreement were solicited in September 2025. The City advertised the bid in the Morgan Hill Times on September 5, 2025. On September 5, 2025, the Request for Bids (RFB) was released on the City website and distributed via Public Purchase Online Service, the County of Santa Clara Builders Exchange, Bay Area Builders Exchange, Central Coast Builders, San Francisco Builders Exchange, and Dodge & Data Analytics. Staff also notified all registered C-27 licensed landscape contractors on the City's Informal Bidders' List.

Six (6) proposals were received and opened on September 24, 2025. Proposals were evaluated based on each firm's per cubic yard pricing for engineered wood fiber and mulch for quantities of 10 to 20 cubic yards, 20 to 60 cubic yards, and 60 to 200 cubic yards. The bid summary is attached (Attachment 1).

Based upon the average per cubic yard pricing, JET Mulch, Inc. is the lowest bidder.

JET Mulch, Inc. has almost 30 years of experience working with local municipalities.

JET Mulch, Inc. is the City's current vendor, and staff have been satisfied with their level of service.

Staff recommends the award of the engineered wood fiber and mulch maintenance service agreement to JET Mulch, Inc. for a not-to-exceed amount of $120,000 for the initial two-year term (Attachment 2).

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

Inform.

This staff report serves to inform the community about this proposed agreement.

Residents will be informed of the installation of wood fiber and mulch at City play areas through various City communication channels, including The Scoop, a weekly update on City projects posted on the City website, and key social media platforms.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

An alternative action is to not approve this agreement. This alternative is not recommended because wood fiber is necessary to ensure playgrounds remain safe and open.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

The Council previously awarded an engineered wood fiber and mulch agreement to JET Mulch, Inc. on October 21, 2020.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

The anticipated $60,000 in annual engineered wood fiber and mulch installation costs ($120,000 for the initial two-year contract term) is included in the parks maintenance, streets maintenance, landscape assessment districts, and individual facilities' maintenance budgets.

The activities described in this Staff Report are categorically exempt under CEQA, specifically pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Existing Facilities), as the subject work involves the repair, maintenance or minor alterations of existing City facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use of those facilities.
