Prepared By: ___EC___ Dept Review: ___EC___
City Manager Review: __YK_____ City Attorney Review: ______ Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 15, 2024 FROM: Emily Conrad, Acting Finance Director
SUBJECT: Third Quarter Investment Report (period ending March 31, 2024) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive the attached Third Quarter Investment Report (period ending March 31, 2024) for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this recommendation.

DISCUSSION
The Third Quarter Investment Report for FY 2023-24, attached, demonstrates that as of March 31, 2024, the City’s weighted portfolio yield of 4.074% for the quarter was nearly in line with the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) average yield of 4.3% for that quarter. Interest rates again shifted slightly lower in the third quarter anticipating future Federal Reserve target reductions on interest rates, however the City continued to receive favorable interest earnings.

The City recorded $835,808 in interest earnings for the third quarter. For comparison, in the third quarter of FY 2022-23 the City recorded $447,266 in interest earnings. The significant increase is a result of higher interest rates in the market, higher cash balances for the City due to the ability to rebuild reserves, and staff efforts to pursue improved investment options consistent with Council’s Investment Policy and State law.

This quarter, six instruments matured resulting in a $77,346 gain over purchase price: three certificates of deposit, two investments in U.S. Obligations (Federal Home Loan Banks), and one investment in U.S. Treasury Bills. Staff re-invested in six new instruments of similar nature: three certificates of deposit with interest rates in the 4.3 percent range, two investments in U.S.

Obligations (Federal Farm Creek Banks) in the 4.2 percent range, and one additional investment in U.S. Treasury Notes and Bonds at 4.125 percent. LAIF interest rates also continued to climb over the last two years, increasing from 2.07% as of March 31, 2023 to 4.3% as of March 31, 2024. The interest rate increase has substantially boosted the City’s earnings in this large portfolio that provides safety and liquidity through the State Treasurer’s Office. These efforts, on top of actions earlier in the calendar year to procure other high-yield certificates of deposit, as well as larger U.S. Treasury Notes and a Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) investment, have yielded significant returns for the City. These higher interest revenues in FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 will help mitigate other areas of revenue cooling such as sales tax and other economically sensitive revenues.

AGENDA NO: 7.b
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024

Staff continues efforts to improve upon the investment report template itself with the intent to increase clarity and ease of consumption of the information. Two new sections have been added this quarter:
 Page two includes a table to present four quarters of performance comparison for LAIF versus the City portfolio weighted average rate of earnings.  Page three includes a list of the deletions and additions of instruments since the prior investment report.

Staff is currently evaluating investment options more comprehensively, including the exploration of utilizing an investment firm. Many small cities utilize investment advisors with extensive expertise in municipal investments to ensure ongoing maximization of interest revenues within the confines of State law and local investment policies. The City recently issued requests for proposals for investment advisory services and received responses from seven firms. Due to staff vacancy, the evaluation and selection process is temporarily stalled and will resume when the Finance Department is again fully staffed.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the Third Quarter Investment Report (period ending March 31, 2024) for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

Staff Report Addendum
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 22, 2024 FROM: Emily Conrad, Acting Finance Director
SUBJECT: Third Quarter Investment Report (period ending March 31, 2024) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive the attached Third Quarter Investment Report (period ending March 31, 2024) for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

ADDENDUM
The attached revised investment report includes (2) two redline corrections. The subtotal of non-liquid instruments’ market value (page two) was overstated by $2,998,673 as $15,830,232. The overstatement was due to a formula error which caused a matured investment to continue to be included in the subtotal (page three, U.S. Treasury Bills). The error also inflated the total liquid and non-liquid investments by the same amount as $77,588,064. The correct subtotal of non-liquid instruments’ market value is $12,831,559 and the correct total liquid and non-liquid investments is $74,589,391.

Prepared By: __DM________ Dept Review: ___DM_____
City Manager Review: __YK______ City Attorney Review: __LNL_ Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 10, 2024 FROM: Daniel McCrain, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Equipment donation from the Friends of the Morro Bay Fire Department

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Accept the donated equipment from the Friends of the Morro Bay Fire Department and authorize the City Manager to execute the Donation Agreement.

ALTERNATIVES
None, donation offer complies with the City’s Donation Policy as established by Resolution No. 61-

19. FISCAL IMPACT
The value of donated equipment totals $31,132.00. This total includes the following equipment: a 2023 Trition aluminum UTV trailer valued at $10,887.00, an East Coast Rescue Solutions forcible entry door prop valued at $16,855.00, and a Q-TAC EMS-R patient transport skid for the Polaris UTV valued at $3,390.00.

BACKGROUND
The Morro Bay Fire Department received a donated forcible entry prop custom-made by East Coast Rescue Solutions that was purchased by the Friends of the Morro Bay Fire Department in June 2022.

This training prop is used by firefighters to practice forcing access to buildings during emergency situations. These techniques create damage to doors, door jams, and hardware making these techniques impossible to practice without a dedicated training prop. These skills are crucial to gaining access to patients suffering a medical emergency, or to gain access to a building during a fire to rescue victims or suppress the fire. Maintaining proficiency in these skills ensure crews have the ability to perform them rapidly and safely.

In 2023 the Morro Bay Fire Department acquired a Polaris UTV to allow for rapid access to patients in crowded areas during public events, access remote areas such as Black Hills, and beach access for safer patient access and extrication. This vehicle can also be utilized for mutual aid response to incidents throughout the state in support of our Fireline Paramedic program. The Friends of the Morro Bay Fire Department purchased a QTAC EMS-R patient transport skid module for the bed of the Polaris UTV to allow for patient transport. This was received in May 2023. The Friends also AGENDA NO: 7.c
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024

purchased an aluminum Triton UTV trailer and donated it to the Department in September 2023.

During a recent Friends of the Moro Bay Fire Department board meeting a request was made for a release of liability for the donated equipment. The Friends of the Morro Bay Fire Department is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization whose mission is,

1. To establish and maintain an association of persons interested in public safety;

2. To focus public attention on fire safety, services, facilities and needs;

3. To support and cooperate with the morro Bay Fire Department to enhance safety, services, and facilities for the community;

4. To stimulate gifts, endowments, and bequests.

In support of this mission the Friends of the Morro Bay Fire Department has generously donated these valuable pieces of equipment to the Fire Department and the community of Morro Bay.

Providing a release of liability for these donated items will help to ensure the Friends of the Morro Bay Fire Department will be able to continue making donations of valuable and much needed equipment to the Morro Bay Fire Department in the years to come without assuming unnecessary liability which may preclude future donations. This action is also consistent with the City’s Donation Policy established by Resolution 61-19 which requires City Council approval to accept donations exceeding $5,000.

SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 25-24 Authorizing the Mayor to Execute Documents Necessary to Refinance Existing Construction Loan into a Permanent Loan and Accepting a Deed of Trust Related to Lease Site 87-88/87W-88W (TLC Family Enterprises, 833 Embarcadero Road)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt Resolution No. 25-24 authorizing the Mayor to execute documents necessary to refinance an existing construction loan into a permanent loan and accepting a deed of trust related thereto regarding the leasehold interest at Lease Site 87-88/87W-88W, with documents subject to approval of the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to this action.

BACKGROUND
On December 11, 2018, the City Council approved a new 50-year master lease agreement with TLC Family Enterprises (TLC) in exchange for a complete redevelopment of Lease Site 87-88/87W-88W.

TLC’s redevelopment proposal was vetted through a request for proposals process in 2017/2018.

In January 2022, The Council approved a Consent to Encumbrance for a construction loan from Artes Capital against the leasehold interest, in the amount of $3,200,000. With the project now completed, TLC will convert the existing construction loan into a permanent loan with American Riviera Bank (ARB).

The bank appraised the improvements at $5,500,000. The permanent loan with American Riviera Bank will be $3,300,000. ARB will pay off the $3,200,000 construction loan and place the remaining $100,000 in a money market account for one year as additional security.

DISCUSSION
TLC is now requesting City Council approval of a new Consent to Encumbrance for lending with American Riviera Bank against the leasehold interest in the amount of $3,300,000, which will provide a fixed payment for the remainder of the loan term.

TLC is a tenant in good standing, and the lease agreement for Lease Site 87-88/87W-88W stipulates that such funding approval will not be unreasonably withheld by the City. In addition, the lease AGENDA NO: 7.d
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024

agreement stipulates that all loan proceeds be used for leasehold improvements and/or to refinance existing lending on the Lease Site. This lending complies with these stipulations.

CONCLUSION

SUBJECT: Acknowledge and Support Mayor Wixom’s collaboration with staff and community for the City’s 60th Anniversary Celebration

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Support Recreation staff’s choice to partner with Mayor Wixom on the City of Morro Bay 60th Anniversary event planning.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council could choose to have no city involvement for City’s 60th Anniversary.

FISCAL IMPACT
This action does not have direct fiscal impact. However, celebration events may need a small budget, which is to be determined.

DISCUSSION
This year marks the City’s 60th anniversary of its incorporation. The community expects celebration activities for this occasion. City’s Recreation Division has been making preliminary plans. The Division staff has also recommended Mayor be the liaison and help staff to plan and execute this celebration. Prior to being elected as the Mayor, Mayor Wixom along with a few community members led the city’s 50th birthday celebration activities. Additionally, the Mayor shall be recognized as the official head of the City for all ceremonial purposes (Council Power & Appointment, Council Policies and Procedures). Staff believes it is appropriate to engage the Mayor in all stages of this year’s celebration.

Mayor Wixom agreed to collaborate with City staff for this event. Some ideas have been exchanged.

Unless Council direct otherwise, staff plans to bring a conceptual plan before City Council in the coming weeks. It is anticipated that other volunteers would be needed. They can contact Mayor Wixom and City’s Recreation staff.

Alternatively, Council could decide to appoint another Council Member to work with staff or choose to have no City involvement in the 60th anniversary celebration.

Carlos Mendoza, Public Works Maintenance Division Manager SUBJECT: Arbor Day Proclamation

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the attached proclamation in support of Arbor Day and being a Tree City USA community.

BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
The Tree City USA program has been around since 1976 and Morro Bay has been a Tree City for twenty-three (27) years. To achieve a Tree City USA status the City must meet four core standards; Maintaining a tree board or department, have a tree ordinance, spend at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and have a City proclamation celebrating Arbor Day.

This proclamation fulfills one of the four core standards to become a Tree City and proclaims Arbor Day in Morro Bay to be March 7th – March 14th every year. An arbor day celebration will occur during this time each year celebrating trees. The City currently meets the other three standards.

Join the City and Morro Bay in Bloom on April 27th from 8:30 am – 11:00 am for a community event.

Volunteers will gather at City Park and participate in any of seven community projects, including art activities, gardening projects, street clean-up, and tree planting along Quintana Road. To learn more about the event or sign up, please visit www.morrobayinbloom.org.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the City Council proclaim Arbor Day as March 7th – March 14th every year in the City of Morro Bay.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 9, 2024 FROM: Emily Conrad, Acting Finance Director
Melissa Green, Senior Budget Analyst
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and Adoption of Resolution No. 26-24, which Rescinds Resolution No. 26-23 and Adopts the FY 2024-25 Master Fee Schedule

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct the formally noticed public hearing, review the proposed Master Fee Schedule, and adopt Resolution No. 26-24, which updates the City’s Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25.

This Resolution rescinds Resolution No. 26-23, which adopted the current FY 2023-24 Master Fee Schedule and replaces it in its entirety for the new fiscal year.

BACKGROUND
Annually, the City undertakes a comprehensive review and revision of the adopted Master Fee Schedule. This process, which is transparent and open to public scrutiny, is designed to ensure that charges for various City-provided services are fair and reasonable and reflect the cost of providing those services. “Fee” activities are services and functions the City provides to individuals who receive some direct material benefit above and beyond services offered to residents at general taxpayer expense. Council has directed revising this annual process to have one consolidated fee schedule brought forward in late spring. This format allows staff to implement revised fees into budget preparations for the upcoming fiscal year.

Morro Bay Municipal Code Chapter 3.34, Master Fee Schedule, stipulates how the City will amend the Master Fee Schedule. Relevant sections of that chapter are included below for reference.

3.34.010 – Established
The City Master Fee Schedule is established, which shall set forth a consolidated listing of fees as fixed and adopted by the City Council, in accordance with all applicable provisions of state and city laws.

3.34.020 – Fee Revisions and Reviews
Any fees included in the Master Fee Schedule may be reviewed and revised annually by the City Council. The City’s cost of providing the services shall be computed and reflected in these fees. The fees shall then be enumerated, and the revised Master Fee Schedule adopted by resolution of the City Council.

AGENDA NO: 8.a
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024

The 2019 Fee Study by Revenue and Cost Specialist, LLC, provides the basis for the majority of fees in the Master Fee Schedule. Since the study's completion, fees have been increased annually by the consumer price indices, consistent with the Municipal Code framework.

DISCUSSION
Effective Date
Development-related fees cannot be implemented before 60 days after City Council adoption. Thus, all proposed fees (including development fees) in the Master Fee Schedule would be effective July 1, 2024.

Changes for FY 2024-25
Unless otherwise noted in the fee schedule, proposed fees are adjusted annually by the All-Urban Consumer Price Index (CPI), Los Angeles area, based on the December 2023 12-month change.

This represents a 3.5% increase for the FY 2024-25 Fee Schedule. Impact fees, which are adjusted annually by the California Construction Cost Index (CCCI) rate, based on the December 2023 12- month change, will see a 9.4% increase for the FY 2024-25 Fee Schedule. All fees of $1.00 or greater that are not in per foot or square footage units are rounded to the nearest dollar. Fees limited by State law or already at 100% cost recovery were not increased.

A few proposed substantive changes beyond applying the abovementioned indices are summarized below. Some new fees are recommended to ensure consistency across departments and a fair and equitable system for all. Other fees are being eliminated for discontinued programs or services. This decision reflects the City’s commitment to align fees with current services and not burden the public with unnecessary charges.
 Solar permitting costs have been reduced, a change that complies with California Government Code Section 66015 and benefits our community by making solar energy more accessible.  The Laserfiche fee for planning & building document scanning and storage has been renamed “Document Storage Fee,” and additional fees were added for non-plan set pages.  Several Public Works fees have been tiered to reflect the increased staff time required for larger, more complex projects. These include the Flood Hazard Development Permit and Encroachment Permits (Regular – Underground Improvements and Special Encroachment Agreements).
 Commercial/Multi-family fees were added to the Public Works Storm Water Fees section to reflect the additional staff hours required for these projects.  Several new Public Works Inspection and Review Fees were added to the schedule, including fees for commencing construction without an encroachment permit, additional inspections, and plan/exhibit review after permit approval. Similar fees already exist under Community Development. New Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) program fees were also added to the Wastewater section of the Public Works fees.
 The Harbor Department is proposing new fees for cost recovery, including plan checks and response to negligent incidents. Similar fees already exist under Community Development, Public Works, and Fire. New fees for Launch Ramp Haul Out, Missed Liveaboard Permit Inspection Appointments, and Cruise Ship Passenger Landing are also proposed for the Harbor Department.
 Recreation’s Teen Center fees were eliminated due to the discontinuation of that program.  A new Private Special Event Processing fee is proposed by Recreation to recover staff costs related to planning coordination for private events such as weddings and quinceañeras.

 Recreation’s hourly field preparation and support services fees were consolidated to reflect the same cost recovery for both Resident/Non-Profit Groups and All Other applicants.  Morro Bay Community Foundation Transit and Trolley fees were eliminated because the organization’s involvement in the program ended.
 Morro Bay Trolley Rental Rates were eliminated due to insufficient staffing to provide those services.

Formatting, organizational, and verbiage changes were applied throughout the proposed fee schedule for efficiency and clarity. These changes are immaterial and do not impact fee rates or fee applications. For example, staff consolidated many references to the administrative citation program, which is embedded in the Morro Bay Municipal Code (1.03.050).

Exceptions to Cost Recovery
While Council may elect to recover the full cost of providing a service that directly benefits an individual, they may also elect to forgo full cost recovery. As follows, there are a couple of instances where full cost recovery is not being sought in the Proposed FY 2024-25 Master Fee Schedule. This approach should be carefully considered to address specific circumstances and ensure that the fee structure remains reasonable and considerate of all stakeholders.

Appeal Fee – The 2019 Fee Study by Revenue and Cost Specialist, LLC identified that the cost to appeal a City decision at that time was $6,994. CPI would have escalated that amount to well over $7,000 today. In prior years, Council elected to set the fee at a much lower rate, around $300, and less than 10% of cost recovery. The proposed fee schedule continues that prior direction, applying CPI and resulting in a $336.00 fee. Council may direct staff to increase that fee if desired.

Commercial Fishing Slip Fee - Consistent with prior Council direction regarding the Commercial Fishing Slip Fee, full cost recovery recommended by the study conducted by Revenue and Cost Specialists, LLC was not implemented. Instead, the fee increased to $8/foot in October 2022 and was scheduled to increase only by CPI for the subsequent ten years. There is no proposed increase this year due to rounding to the nearest dollar. It should also be noted the commercial fishing docks were heavily damaged during the January and March 2023 storms. Emergency funding approved by Council will only repair a few docks, leaving the commercial fishing fleet using sub-standard docks throughout much of next year. The MBCFO agreed to fund $100,000 towards a project to repair all docks.

FISCAL IMPACTS
Most fees are proposed to increase by CPI or the construction cost index. Given that the fee schedule intends to maintain but not exceed cost recovery, and City costs to provide services continue to increase, there should not be a significant net change to City revenues over expenditures in FY 2024-

Prepared By: __YK________ Dept Review: __YK______
City Manager Review: _YK_______ City Attorney Review: _________ Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 17, 2024 FROM: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of statement of support to Visit Morro Bay for its efforts in negotiation with State Park on permit fee required to enable Ironman event using Morro Bay State Park for racecourse

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize Mayor to issue a statement of support.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council could choose to not express support by a) remaining neutral, or b) oppose Visit Morro Bay’s negotiation effort.

DIRECT FISCAL IMPACT
None.

DISCUSSION
In collaboration with Visit Morro Bay (VMB), the City and Ironman entered into a three-year contract to host the event in 2023, 2024 and 2025. The racecourse of the event took place in the South Bay Blvd neighborhood, outside of the Morro Bay State Park last year.

After last year’s event, a few issues with this design emerged, including prolonged time for spectators remaining on sidewalks to watch their athletes, which in turn affected retail and restaurant’s ability to profit during the race and put additional burden on City’s public safety team. For this year’s event, it was suggested that Ironman event use the State Park property as part of the racecourse.

State Park quoted a permit fee of $31,000 for the use. The Ironman group has approached VMB to consider splitting the State Parks fee. At the April 16th VMB Board meeting, the Board directed staff to continue negotiating with State Parks; the Board also asked the City to consider issuing a statement of support for VMB’s negotiation effort. Under those conditions, VMB Board collectively agreed to contribute additional dollars in support of the Ironman event.

Should Council decide to support VMB as requested, it is recommended that Mayor contact VMB and express the City’s support for the event to use State Park and VMB’s effort in further negotiating State Park permit fees. If the State Park does not issue a permit to Ironman, the event will use the same racecourse as last year.

AGENDA NO: 9.a
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024

It is worthy to note that Morro Bay State Park is an important governmental partner for the city as well as a valuable economic contributor to our local economy. It is desirable to cultivate a cooperative relationship with the State Park.

ATTACHMENTS

Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 12, 2024 FROM: Dana Swanson, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Consideration of Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 667 Adding Chapter 2.48 to Title 2 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code Relating to Electronic and Paperless Filing of Campaign Disclosure Statements and Statements of Economic Interests

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Introduce for first reading by title only, with further reading waived, Ordinance No. 667: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Morro Bay, Adding Chapter 2.48 to Title 2 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code Relating to Electronic and Paperless Filing of Campaign Disclosure Statements and Statements of Economic Interests.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council may choose not to introduce Ordinance No. 667 and provide direction as deemed appropriate by a majority of the Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
Implementation of NetFile will result in substantial staff time savings currently spent reviewing, requesting amendments, scanning, redacting and uploading campaign disclosure statements to the City website for public review.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At the April 9, 2024 Regular Meeting, staff presented a proposed Ordinance implementing an electronic and paperless filing of campaign disclosure statements and statements of economic interests (Form 700s). Following public comment and Council discussion, the City Council directed staff to return with a revised version of the ordinance allowing the city clerk to make limited exceptions to the electronic filing requirement. To ensure the same opportunity to comply with the Political Reform Act Is afforded to all committees/individuals, including those who do not have computer access or familiarity with computer programs, the revised ordinance authorizes the city clerk in their sole discretion to make limited exceptions to the requirement for electronic filing and accept statements in paper format submitted by those who do not have computer access or familiarity with computer programs.

This would essentially create and Opt-In/Out Program whereby a committee/individual who chooses to file a report electronically is deemed “opted in” and shall be required to file all future statements electronically using the City Clerk’s system. On the other hand, any committee/individual who the AGENDA NO: 9.b
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024

01181.0001/766043.1
city clerk determines does not have computer access or familiarity with computer programs, would be allowed to file paper only until such time the committee/individual “opts-in” to electronic filing. The ordinance also provides that either by amendment of the new chapter, or by resolution, the Council may remove this exception in the future.

OF THE CITY OF MORRO BAY, CALIFORNIA,
ADDING CHAPTER 2.48 TO TITLE 2 OF THE MORRO BAY

MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ELECTRONIC AND

PAPERLESS FILING OF CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE

STATEMENTS AND STATEMENTS OF ECONOMIC

INTERESTS

THE CITY COUNCIL
City of Morro Bay, California

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MORRO BAY, CALIFORNIA FINDS AND ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Purpose and Authority. The purpose of this Ordinance is to require the filing of Campaign Disclosure Statements and Statements of Economic Interest by elected officials, candidates, staff, consultants, or committees to be completed electronically. The City Council enacts this Ordinance in accordance with the authority granted to cities by state law. This Ordinance is intended to supplement, and not conflict with, the Political Reform Act.

SECTION 2. Findings.

The City Council of the City of Morro Bay finds and determines as follows:

A. That California Government Code Section 84615 provides that a legislative body of a local government agency may adopt an ordinance that requires an elected officer, candidate, or committee, required to file statements, reports, or other documents required by Chapter 4 of the Political Reform Act, to file such statements, reports, or other documents online or electronically with the City Clerk.

B. In any instance in which the original statement is required to be filed with the Secretary of State and a copy of that statement is required to be filed with the City, the filer is permitted, but not required, to file a copy electronically.

C. The City Clerk’s web-based system contains multiple safeguards to protect the integrity and security of the data, will operate securely and effectively, and will not unduly burden filers.

D. The City Clerk will operate the electronic filing system in compliance with the requirements of California Government Code Section 84615 and any other applicable laws.

E. This Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, either directly or ultimately. In the event that the Ordinance is found to be a project under CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility to have a significant effect on the environment.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: March 28, 2024 FROM: Dana Swanson, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Consideration of Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 667 Adding Chapter 2.48 to Title 2 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code Relating to Electronic and Paperless Filing of Campaign Disclosure Statements and Statements of Economic Interests

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Introduce for first reading by title only, with further reading waived, Ordinance No. 667: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Morro Bay, Adding Chapter 2.48 to Title 2 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code Relating to Electronic and Paperless Filing of Campaign Disclosure Statements and Statements of Economic Interests to the Morro Bay Municipal Code.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council may choose not to introduce Ordinance No. 667 and provide direction as deemed appropriate by a majority of the Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
Implementation of NetFile will result in substantial staff time savings currently spent reviewing, requesting amendments, scanning, redacting and uploading campaign disclosure statements to the City website for public review.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Political Reform Act of 1974 (“Act”) requires the filing of specified statements, reports and other documents. Under the Act, a local government agency may require these filings to be made online or electronically with the local filing officer (City Clerk). With the enactment of more recent legislation, AB2452 and AB2151, the Act requires the local filing officer to make all data available on the internet in an easily understood format that provides the greatest public access within 72 hours of the filing deadline.

Historically, City Council candidates and campaign committees have filed paper copies of required campaign statements and reports. Once filed, the documents are made available for review by the public. The City Clerk’s office spends a significant amount of staff time to make such paper filings readily available and posted online which requires further handling.

Public access to campaign disclosure information is a vital and integral component of a fully informed electorate. Transparency in campaign financing is critical in order to maintain public trust and support AGENDA NO: 9.c
MEETING DATE: April 9, 2024

01181.0001/766043.1
of the political process. Nevertheless, these values require staff resources to implement. As a means to more cost-effectively maintain the public trust, the City recently contracted with NetFile for installation of two electronic programs for on-line submittal and posting of Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) forms related to Conflict of Interest (i.e., Form 700s) and Campaign Disclosure documents (i.e., Form 460s). Both programs have been installed and are operational; however, there is one remaining authorization necessary by Council in order to make these filings fully electronic.

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 84615, the City Council must adopt an Ordinance memorializing their approval to require and authorize complete electronic signature and submission of electronic campaign disclosure forms. Tonight’s action is the first of a two-step process to implement electronic filing.

The proposed Ordinance pertains specifically to the campaign finance component of the NetFile system, and will only apply to those filers that exceed a threshold of $1,000 for expending or receiving campaign funds, or another amount as established under the Political Reform Act. This section reflects Senate Bill No. 1329 (2017-2018 Reg. Sess.), which updates applicable thresholds to $2,000 effective when “the Secretary of State certifies an online filing and disclosure system pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 84602 of the Government Code.” This threshold is also consistent with the Act, which recognizes campaigns that spend or raise more than $2,000 as “Controlled Committees.” Under the Act, these types of committees are obligated to file detailed campaign finance disclosure statements, also known as Form 460s. For those smaller campaigns that do not exceed the $2,000 threshold, they may continue to file paper versions of the Form 470 disclosure forms. That being said, it should be noted that the NetFile system is able to accommodate the online filing of several types of required forms by the FPPC, including Form 460, 470, 496, and 497, which are the most commonly used in Morro Bay’s local election campaigns.

The NetFile system is created specifically for cities and counties responsible for administering campaign finance filings and Statements of Economic Interest, meets the requirements of the Secretary of State, and allows for electronic and paperless filing of campaign statements.

In terms of security, the NetFile system is a web-based, vendor-hosted application that utilizes “industry best practices” for securing data, using the same data encryption for online filings that is used by banks for online banking. NetFile stores and backs up data at three separate locations, creating the essential safety measures and redundancy that will allow for recovery of information in the event of an emergency or disaster. The City’s data will be retained incompliance with state and local regulations. For professional treasurers that have already purchased campaign software, NetFile is able to receive uploaded data from certain types of third-party applications for electronic filing purposes. The NetFile system also maintains each filing for easy updates the next year or filing cycle.

The City Clerk’s office has begun to request City of Morro Bay Statement of Economic Interest (Form 700) filers to file electronically through the NetFile system. State law does not require the City to adopt an ordinance before mandating Form 700s be filed electronically. Rather, this is accomplished through changes to internal procedures. With the transition to electronic filing of Campaign Disclosure Statements through the Ordinance in front of Council, the City Clerk’s office intends to require all future reports and other documents filed on behalf of Form 700 filers to be filed electronically. The City Clerk’s office is currently responsible for the annual filing of all Form 700s, which include the City Council, Planning Commission, City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, Treasurer, designated City employees, board and commission members, and consultants. Form 700s occasionally need

01181.0001/766043.1
amendments or are submitted incomplete or without marked schedules attached. The Form 700 electronic filing incorporates an initial review process and alerts the filer of errors at the time he or she is entering information, thereby minimizing the need for the City Clerk to request amendments.

Transitioning to electronic filing will substantially reduce staff burdens on the Clerk’s office.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 17, 2024 FROM: Chris F. Neumeyer, City Attorney
SUBJECT: First Amendment to Employment Contract with Yvonne Kimball, City Manager

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Consider approval of the First Amendment to the employment contract with Yvonne Kimball, City Manager, and authorization for the Mayor to sign the contract on behalf of the City of Morro Bay.

ALTERNATIVE
No alternatives proposed.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost to the City of Morro Bay (“City”) for the proposed salary increase is $7201.97 for Fiscal Year 24/25. The proposed salary increase being effective as of April 24, 2024 for the remainder of this fiscal year has a total cost of $1524.73, which will be paid for by personnel savings for the year in City Manager’s department.

BACKGROUND
Effective August 14, 2023, the City and Ms. Kimball entered into an agreement for her to serve as City Manager (“Agreement”). The Agreement provides that the City Council shall review Ms.

Kimball’s performance after six months of employment. Performance evaluations were recently conducted in closed session on March 12 and March 26. The Agreement provides that following the performance evaluation and based on the results of the performance evaluation, the City Council in its sole discretion may increase Ms. Kimball’s base salary to the next step.

DISCUSSION
Ms. Kimball’s current base salary is at Step 4 for an annual salary of $217,474. As provided for in the Agreement after her six month performance evaluation Ms. Kimball is eligible at the discretion of the City Council to receive a salary increase to Step 5 for an annual salary of $222,911.

Effective January 1, 2018, Subdivision 54953(c)(3) of the California Government Code requires the City Council, prior to taking final action on the salary of a local agency executive (e.g., City Manager), to report orally, during the open meeting in which the final action is to be taken, a summary of a recommendation for a final action.

AGENDA NO: 9.c
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024

01181.0004/977518.1 2
To be sure the legal requirements are met, it is recommended the Mayor read the below description of the salary to be paid pursuant to the First Amendment: “The City Manager’s annual salary will be $222,911.”

SUBJECT: Discussion of Council and Advisory Board Sub-Committees and Potential Revisions

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Review of existing committees’ status as related to City Policies concerning the formation and scope of existing Council and Advisory Body Sub-Committees, and consider clarifying scope and duration of remaining subcommittees, formally dissolving expired subcommittees as necessary, and provide direction as deemed appropriate.

FISCAL IMPACT
None

BACKGROUND
At the February 27, 2024 regular meeting, Council Member Edwards requested and received support for discussion of Council sub-committees, including duration and purpose. Interest in how advisory body sub-committees were formed was also discussed.

DISCUSSION
Over the years, the City Council has utilized Council Sub-Committees to study issues such as cannabis regulations, short-term vacation rental regulations, review and update City policies including the Council Policies & Procedures and Advisory Bodies Handbook & By-Laws, Chevron property, etc. Generally speaking, the subcommittees do a deep dive on these issues either alone or with the support of staff then bring a recommendation back to the full Council for discussion/direction/policy adoption. Subcommittees are closely engaged and informed and sometimes provide high level guidance to staff on issues such as the WRF, Offshore Wind Development, and Downtown Design Standards.

As of January 2024, there are five Council subcommittees.

Council Sub-Committees
The City Council Policies and Procedures Section 3.13 (“Council Sub-Committees”) states:
“From time to time it may be desirable for the City Council to appoint a subcommittee of the whole to address a particular issue. That is especially the case if the issue requires additional work or research. Per the Brown Act, subcommittees must consist of less than a quorum of the body and serve for a limited purpose and time. Therefore, the City Council sub-committees may consist of two members. Sub-committees shall report back to the full Council for discussion before any formal action can be taken on the pertinent issue. Establishing a subcommittee requires the body to define the purpose, parameters, and duration of the sub-committee. The City Clerk will keep the list of sub-committees and defined description as a record with Council liaison assignments for review annually.”
Advisory Board Sub-Committees
The City’s Advisory Bodies Handbook and By-Laws offers the following policy guidance regarding the formation and function of sub-committees at the advisory body level:
“From time to time it may be desirable for the majority of an advisory body to appoint a sub-committee to address a particular issue related to adopted work plan items.

That is especially the case if the issue requires additional work or research.

Establishing a sub-committee requires the body to define purpose, parameters and

duration of the subcommittee. The number of sub-committee members depends on the size of the advisory body. Per the Brown Act, sub-committees must consist of less than a quorum of the body. Therefore, for a five-member body, subcommittees may consist of two members. Seven-member bodies may have subcommittees composed of two or three members. Sub-committees report back to the full body for discussion before any formal action can be taken on the issue. Staff should be consulted before considering the creation of a sub-committee to determine the impact on staff time.”

RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the City Council review purposes of existing sub-committees, formally dissolve those that are deemed to have met their original intended purposes, considering forming new as necessary, and clarify scope and duration for remaining committees. It is further recommended that this review be completed by next appointment time in January 2025. Should Council need additional time to accomplish this review, a separate workshop is appropriate.

Additionally, current City practice permits high-level direction to staff at subcommittee meetings.

If this policy remains desirable, it is to be reminded that staff and committee members bring recommendations on matters related to policy, City positions, contract approvals, and large budgetary actions back to the full Council in open session for discussion and approval.

Additionally, it is recommended to include a subcommittee report in City Council and /or advisory committee agendas for the purpose of facilitating timely reports by subcommittees.

Lastly, in the event that council’s advisory board, i.e., Planning Commission, Public Works Advisory Board, Citizens Oversight/Finance Advisory Committee, Harbor Advisory Board, and Recreation & Parks Commission, considers a sub-committee, it is reminded that the advisory board should consult staff before considering the creation of a sub-committee to determine the impact on staff time.
