Include retrofit programs with list of approved contractors to do the work now—not after next quake. Seniors citizens, especially need help to get this information as disasters create scammers who pass themselves off as experienced professionals. I believe Hayward has retrofit plans but no plans address slab foundations. What is the number of homes in Fremont with slab foundations in Fremont? To my knowledge, Fremont hasn’t created any plans and or steps for Do It Yourself guides to sell to residents for retrofit for nominal fee. It would be helpful to have more easily found maps showing natural conditions of creeks, springs and marshes, in addition to major gas lines, major electric power lines, earthquake fault lines, areas in potential fire areas and flooding areas, as well as underground springs water ( ie Weibel & Warm Springs). Fremont website should make it easy to find this info

Although Fremont staff had to adapt to the Pandemic and still provide some services onsite, residents got info they needed with return phone calls, emails etc. Now there seems to be one single phone number with recorded phone tree —expecting people to know the name of a staff person or even which department on their first call? Could this be more user friendly with a “real person” available to greet and assist those with a general phone number for the appropriate department?

Item  F. 2.

DATE 09/12/2024
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Roya Gonzalez, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT    Receive a presentation of the draft Facilities Master Plan and provide feedback
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation on the draft Facilities Master Plan (Plan) and provide feedback to be incorporated into the final Plan.

BACKGROUND
The City owns and maintains 24 structures, each managed within the constraints of allocated resources and specific preventative maintenance plans. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive approach to address future growth, facility maintenance, and community needs, the City Council approved an agreement in November 2022 with Group 4 Architects to develop the City's first Facilities Master Plan.

Group 4 Architects, alongside their team of consultants, conducted an extensive process to develop the Plan, which included four main tasks:

Task 1: Existing Conditions Evaluations: to assess the physical condition and maintenance needs of each City building, a Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) was completed for each of the City buildings. The FCA included the building site, exterior envelope, structure, interior elements, visual ADA compliance and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems.

Task 2: Future Needs Assessment: to gain a thorough understanding of the City’s operational needs, the consultant toured each facility to assess the requirements of both staff and the community. During these tours, several future projects were identified to enhance operational efficiency and accommodate expected growth in staff and services. This phase also marked the first part of a two-stage community engagement process aimed at identifying the community's facility space needs. The community expressed a strong interest in arts and community spaces, highlighting the need for facility spaces like an arts/craft studio and a performance theater. Additionally, the consultant reviewed industry standards, trends, and best practices in community facilities to tailor recommendations that address Newark’s specific requirements.

Task 3: Facility Options: to address the arts and community space needs identified Packet Page No. 1427
Task 3: Facility Options: to address the arts and community space needs identified through community engagement, the consultant proposed a Cultural Arts Community Center with three size options at two potential locations. The proposed sizes are:

Option A: 18,000 square feet
Option B: 25,000 square feet
Option C: 32,000 square feet
Each size option incorporates the spaces prioritized by the community. These options were evaluated at two possible sites: Newark Community Park and Civic Center Park.

In phase two of the community engagement process, these options, along with a set of evaluation criteria, were presented to the public. By the end of this phase, it was evident that the Newark Community Park location and size Option C were preferred.

Task 4: Implementation Plan: The implementation plan is separated into four categories:

Preventive Maintenance: The preventative maintenance is estimated at $73 million over the next 20 years, with costs varying annually. This estimate does not cover preventive maintenance for facilities recommended for replacement (Newark Community Center, Fire Stations 27 and 29) or vacant buildings.

Renovations/Capitol Projects: Several future projects were identified during Task 2 (Future Needs Assessment) to improve operational efficiency and accommodate anticipated growth in staff and services.

New or Replacement Facilities: The proposed new Cultural Arts Community Center is recommended to be built at the existing Community Center site, replacing the current facility. Due to several operational deficiencies, extensive maintenance needs, and overall poor building conditions, the consultant also recommends replacing Fire Station No. 27 (at the intersection of Cherry Street and Mowry Avenue) and Fire Station No. 29 (on Ruschin Drive at Newark Boulevard).

Sell/Repurpose/Demolish: The City owns three vacant buildings - Watkins Hall, the previous library building, and the previous fire station on Thornton Avenue. In addition to their condition and the required upgrades to meet code requirements, no specific uses were identified for these buildings during Task 2 (Future Needs Assessment).

At the City Council meeting on February 22, 2024, the consultant provided a comprehensive summary of the community engagement process and presented key findings. By sharing these findings before presenting the draft plan, the City Council had the opportunity to take the City’s facility needs into account when assessing whether to place a measure on the ballot to update the Transient Occupancy Tax rate (“TOT” and commonly known as the “Hotel Tax”).

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The Facilities Master Plan outlines a comprehensive strategy for managing and enhancing the City’s facilities over the next 20 years. It is structured around four key categories: Preventive Maintenance, Renovations/CIP, New or Replacement Facilities, and Sell/Repurpose/Demolish.

Preventive Maintenance: Historically, the City has managed its buildings individually. However, the data from the Facility Condition Assessments will Packet Page No. 1428
enable staff to develop a comprehensive, long-term preventive maintenance plan.

This plan will help staff allocate funds effectively from the maintenance reserve and budget appropriately. By maintaining the City's assets properly, the Plan aims to extend the lifespan of the buildings and ensure their continued functionality.

Renovations/Capitol Projects: No projects are recommended for immediate completion. All recommendations will be submitted to the Council for review as part of the Capital Improvement Program process. The projects are categorized into three time frames: near term (3-5 years), mid-term (5-10 years), and long term (11-20 years). This categorization will serve as a guide for scheduling and prioritizing these projects for future consideration. These recommendations will address future growth, as well as identified community needs.

New or Replacement Facilities: The estimated cost for replacing Fire Stations No. 27 and 29 ranges from $15 million to $19 million each, totaling between $30 million and $38 million. The proposed new Cultural Arts Community Center is estimated to cost between $32 million and $56 million, depending on its size. All three facilities are recommended for the immediate/short-term (1-3 years) replacement.

A comprehensive funding strategy will need to be developed to support these projects.

Sell/Repurpose/Demolish: These three buildings will need further analysis to determine their future. During the two-part community engagement process, the community did not identify any specific uses for these buildings. Therefore, a thorough analysis of each site will be necessary to make informed recommendations to City Council.

Successful implementation of this Plan will necessitate thorough consideration of financial, logistical, and community needs. A general overview of the facility recommendations for the first five years is shown below.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For 70 years, the City of Newark has been a part of Alameda County, California. The city has changed a lot in those seven decades, evolving from the railroad and agricultural to the biotech and health sciences industries. Though Newark was incorporated within the last century, its community can be traced back 150 years. Today, the City of Newark owns and operates 24 facilities that serve vastly different purposes; aquatic recreation, library, park restrooms, shelters for residents experiencing barriers, public safety, and more. With such a strong community and deep roots in the Bay Area, the investments that Newark makes in their facilities will work to emphasize and improve what already exists, while propelling the city into a new era of service.

The City of Newark began a facility master plan process in 2022 with Group 4 Architecture with the goal of planning for the city’s future growth and developing needs. The objectives for this process included a master plan for the near future (1-3 years), and long term (5-10+ years) as well as a strategy for capital investments in city facilities. Throughout the master planning process, city leadership and staff have been involved during every step of the process so that each decision and recommendation is realistic and caters directly to the needs of all Newark residents.

The thorough engagement process for this master plan helped to create the best plan possible. Newark residents were able to help envision the future of their city by participating in engagement and providing opinions on potential types of public spaces and project site options. Over several months, in-person pop-ups at city events, community meetings, and online surveys were used for two rounds of engagement to ensure a diverse range of needs and opinions were reflected in the final plan and recommendations.

1. INTRODUCTION
TASK 1: EX I ST I NG COND I T I ONS EVALUAT I ON

WORK PLAN AND PARTICIPATION PLAN
This facilities master plan focused on four main studies. The first being an existing space analysis of City Hall to examine the efficiency of the building’s layout. The second study looked at the functionality and health of the city’s existing community facilities such as the Newark Community Center and Annex, Service Center, Senior Center, and Silliman Center. The third study was a space analysis of the remaining Newark facilities, and the last study, performed by TenOver Studio, examined the condition and functionality of Newark’s existing Fire Stations (27, 28, and 29).

The existing City Hall building currently contains staff from six different departments: City Administration (City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, Human Resources), Information Technology (IT), Finance, Community Development, Public Works, and Fire Prevention. As part of the planning process, Group 4 attended a walkthrough of the building’s public and staff spaces to assess how space is currently used by the city. From this, Group 4 created floor plan diagrams which were confirmed by Newark’s administrative team.

Group 4 then walked through Newark’s community, recreation, and aquatic facilities to determine whether the city’s recreation and community space needs are being met. The project team paid special attention to the current Newark Community Center which is functioning suboptimally. From this, Community Center options were brought to the public for input.

Ten Over Architects walked through and determined the existing conditions of the three Fire Stations in Newark as well as the Police Station and reported their findings back to the project management team.

Additionally, Aquatic Design Group performed an analysis of the Silliman Center, Newark’s aquatic facility.

1. INTRODUCTION

FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENTS
To understand the full range of needs for each of Newark’s facilities, facility condition assessments were conducted. These assessments resulted in reports that detail the health of each building structure. They outline maintenance and accessibility issues, if any, as well as provide FCI (facility condition index) percentages for the current year, 3 years, 5 years, and 10 years into the future. FCI numbers show the percentage of a building and its components that will need replacement or maintenance.

Process:
▪ Pre-Survey: The Project Management Team completed
pre-survey questionnaires prior to site visits and reviewed existing building data.
▪ Assessments: Bureau Veritas (BV) visited each facility and inspected building systems including the surrounding site and infrastructure, exterior and building envelope, roof and rooftop systems, interiors & accessibility, and life safety systems. BV then identified deficiencies in the existing buildings and developed repair/ replace recommendations.

Finally, BV created cost estimations and a maintenance
plan.

TASK 2: FUTURE SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT
In order to determine the future space needs of Newark, Group 4 engaged with the community through pop-up events and conducted a community survey to ask about public space and recreation needs. With the guidance and approval of the Project Management Team (PMT), Group 4 additionally conducted calculations of existing David W. Smith City Hall space and examined future staff growth to determine adequate space recommendations.

TASK 3: C I TY ALTERNAT I VE FAC I L I T I ES OPT I ONS Based on the results of this plan’s public engagement efforts with the residents of Newark in combination with the prepared facility condition assessments, alternative options were developed specifically for the Newark Community Center located in Newark Community Park. Some of these options include changes to the Clark W.

Redeker Senior Center and Newark’s Old Library.

Further information on the future space needs assessment and the city alternative facilities options for each of Newark’s facilities can be found in the following facility sections.

TASK 4: COST AND I MPLEMENTAT I ON PLAN
The facility condition assessments included an identification of deficiencies, inventory of assets, repair and replace recommendations and a maintenance plan identifying expenditures for immediate to long-term costs. The table summarizes those expenditures for all facilities as well as expenditures when the City excludes its vacant facilities (the old library, old fire station and Watkins Hall) and those facilities identified to be replaced or renovated (Newark Community Center, Fire Station 27 and Fire Station 29). It also highlights those expenditures specifically associated as safety to be addressed as an immediate need and costs. The facility costs below are costs to maintain and repair the current facilities and do not address costs associated with upgrading a facility to current codes, meet operational requirements or respond to community needs.

1. INTRODUCTION
Based on the facility maintenance costs, a table was created to determine which facilities the City should maintain, renovate, replace or sell/repurpose. The facilities in the maintain facilities column currently meet the community needs and generally meet operational requirements. Those listed as renovate require futher costs to bring them up to code and operational requirements. Facilities identified as replace require significant costs to bring them up to code and operational requirements and do not address the community needs identified during the community outreach.

The facilities listed as sell/repurpose require further study by the City. During the community outreach no need was identified for those facilities and/or their locations.

These facilities would also require significant cost to bring them up to current building and life safety code if a new use was identified.

1. INTRODUCTION
At the conclusion of the community outreach, facility assessments, and needs study, an implementation plan for the City was identified. The projects identified take into account, not only the condition of the facility but also respond to the communities’ priorities and needs. The table below summarizes each of the facility projects and categorizes them in immediate/short-term vs long-term needs. The project costs associated with each project is a rough order of magnitude cost that was generated based of a $/SF for building and site costs, and assumes a publicly bid process using prevailing wages. It takes into account any associated furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE), and technology costs as well as soft costs including design and construction management fees and city administration and permit fees. These project costs also include a construction and project contingency. The project costs do NOT include escalation as these projects are currently unfunded with no associated timeline for design and construction.

The City also identified a number of funding strategies:
▪ State & Federal grants: a financial award given by a government or other outside agency for beneficial projects.
▪ Measure GG: 1/2 cent sales tax approved by voters in 2016. ▪ Development Impact Fees: One-time charges imposed by the City on new or proposed development projects.
▪ Capital Funds: Newark’s existing or anticipated revenue. ▪ Other: local bond measures

NEWARK COMMUNITY CENTER EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Newark Community Center was built in 1968 and has nearly 14,000 square feet across a single story.

What was once a community space for city activities and programs, room rentals, and childcare, has become mostly unoccupiable to the public except for opportunities to rent out rooms for personal events and parties.

At its peak, there were functioning staff offices, a reception and lobby space, a patio room and social hall for renting, an arts and crafts room, storage, meeting space, and kitchen. In the center of the building is a large courtyard which connects the Newark Community Center to the Newark Community Center Annex, which is presently used for a popular pre-school childcare program. Newark Community Center observations are listed below.

Exterior
▪ Building shows signs of wear and has significant maintenance needs. ▪ Significant water damage to roof and walls.

Interior
▪ Staff offices in the front of the building are not able to be occupied due to water leakage and intrusion, and rooms have been locked.
▪ Poor air quality and water damage in the downstairs area, currently locked and not used. ▪ Roof and skylights leak; have water stains and also actively drip and need buckets to catch falling water. ▪ Interior finishes affected by water damage, include fungal concerns. 11City of Newark Facilities Master Plan

ROUND 1 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Collecting Newark community’s input on city facility needs was an essential part of this planning process. With the PMT’s approval and edits, Group 4 developed 5 large boards to bring to various community events as pop-ups. This first round of engagement included two in-person pop-up events plus a community survey. Nearly 600 residents participated.

The engagement boards explained the current use of each of Newark’s facilities, as well as the regional planning standards for Northern California. The boards asked residents about their opinions (love it or change it) on their facilities as well as asked about their community space priorities. To inquire about residents’ community space priorities, Group 4 provided 23 space options for participants to place a vote/ dot.

These space options fell under four categories; community/ lounge, the arts and performance, exercise and recreation, and aquatics. The purpose of this exercise was to gain a better understanding of what types of spaces Newark’s residents are looking for in their city’s facilities. Below are the events that Group 4 attended for round one engagement pop-ups.
▪ Family Day at the Park (4/12/23)
▪ Groovin’ at the Grove (6/16/23)

AQUATICS
The residents of Newark prioritize access to aquatic centers.

Many were in agreement that indoor/ outdoor aquatics
experiences, aquatic recreation such as Ninja Crossovers for pools, and aquatic fitness.

THE ARTS
The Newark community values the arts and sees the importance of public space for opportunities to hold theater performances, somewhere to practice and play music, arts/ makerspaces, a community gallery, and video/ audio recording rooms.

COMMUNITY
Designated space for specific age groups is a priority as well; the Newark community's priorities include early childhood recreation, a senior lounge, a dedicated teen center, community hall/ kitchen, computer lab, and enrichment classrooms.

RECREATION
Newark community members value spaces which allow them
access to fitness and dance, a variety of sports with multi-use courts, health care, and personal fitness through gyms and exercise rooms.

PLANNING STANDARDS
The existing Newark Community Center is not currently open for programs due to water damage like roof leakage and mold concerns in rooms that are not accessible and securely closed off. The only current use of this facility is renting out space to residents for event use. During public engagement, findings identified that Newark lacks an adequate community center. Additionally, there is a growing need for public performance and amphitheater space which a community center could provide.

Newark has just under 50,000 residents. Based on the Pacific Southwest’s community facility planning standards, the City of Newark should have ~0.75-2.0 square feet of indoor community facilities per resident. These planning standards also dictate that a city of Newark's size should have more robust teen center and performance amphitheater square footage. While Newark has some recreation and teen space located at the George M. Silliman Community Activity Center and the Alan L. Nagy Library, the lack of a dedicated community center and performance space creates programming and service difficulties, both of which should be readily available to the community.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS PROCESS
Round 1 engagement results and existing space analysis show that a larger and better functioning community center is needed. Because of Newark’s current population and projected population growth, The City needs space to provide programs, services, and recreation space to residents. Additionally identified in outreach was the need for a community performance space and/ or large community rooms.

With the PMT, Group 4 developed new potential site options for a community center, either on its existing site at Newark Community Park, or in Civic Center Park in place of the Old Library which currently is closed to the public.

NEWARK CIVIC CENTER PARK ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS
Newark Civic Center Park is connected to the Alan L. Nagy Library, David W. Smith City Hall, and Newark Police Department by a large parking lot and includes a large green lawn, playground, and Newark’s Old Library building that is currently not open to the public. This site option shows that a new community center could take the place of the Old Library, either by repurposing or constructing a new building in place of it.

Option A, with 18,000 square feet, requires less parking spaces, but will still encroach on the park’s existing playground and green space. As the program options get larger, more parking spaces are needed, and more of the park will become used for the new building.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY COMMUNITY NEEDS COSTS VISIBILITY Can the City continue to provide excellent programs to the residents of Newark? Does the facility enhance or decrease the number of staff required to operate the facility?

SYNERGY/ CONNECTIVITY BLDG/ PARK ACCESSIBILITY ENVIRONMENT Is there opportunity for the facility to enhance the community and be a dynamic amenity for residents? Does the facility have good connectivity to other community services, such as other community centers, schools, or parks?
Does the facility meet the needs of the Community? Does it support the programs and events for the community?
What are the total development costs? Costs including site infrastructure (sewer, water, power, roads), site entitlement costs (CEQA), site and building construction costs, and potential relocation costs for existing users?
Does the facility offer the opportunities to expand or improve the existing park amenities? Does is complement existing park use? Is there an opportunity to develop shared parking in order to conserve resources?
Are there extraordinary environmental risks associated
with the site (seismic, sea level rise) that will impact the construction costs, longevity, operations, or maintenance costs for the building or site improvements?
Is the facility easy to get to, not only by car but by alternative modes of transportation? Are pedestrians and cyclist able to navigate throughout the site? Is the circulation into and out of the site efficient, disruptive or dangerous?
FUNCTIONALITY SUSTAINABILITY Does the facility prioritize functional design and inherent flexibility to best serve the community, support the operational efficiency, and support programs now and well into the
future?
Sustainability, both environmental and operational, will be fundamental in the location and design of the community center.

GRANTSIMPACT FEES
A financial award given by a
government or other outside agency
for beneficial projects.
1/2 cent sales tax approved by voters in
2016.

One-time charges imposed by the
City on new or proposed development
projects.

Newark's existing or anticipated
revenue.

Local bond measures: a method of

SITE OPTION EVALUATION
Each of the site options and program options were evaluated based on the criteria outlined above. Most importantly, operational efficiency, community needs, and cost were highlighted for all options as well as functionality and sustainability which are prerequisites and assumed to be included and improved for all future Newark projects.

As seen above, program options B and C at Newark Community Park which suggest consolidating the Newark Community Center and the Clark W. Redeker Senior Center into one new building, and expanding the Newark Community Center have most “excellent” ratings.

2. COMMUNITY, RECREATION, AND AQUATIC FACILITIES
ROUND 2 ENGAGEMENT
The second round of community engagement for this master planning process involved bringing the site options and program options that were identified by the PMT and Group 4 to the public. These options were presented through pop-ups, community meetings, and an online community survey. Participants first chose which site they would prefer a new community center to be built on, and then which program option they would prefer on the chosen site.

Community members had the chance to engage with the pop-up boards at the following events:
▪ Newark Days (9/17/2023)
▪ Community meeting and open house at Alan L. Nagy Library (10/17/2023) ▪ Newark Tree Lighting (12/01/2023)

AQUATICS
The residents of Newark prioritize access to aquatic centers.

Many were in agreement that the availability of outdoor splashpads is important as well as indoor/ outdoor
aquatics experiences, aquatic recreation such as Ninja
Crossovers for pools, and aquatic fitness.

THE ARTS
The Newark community values the arts and sees the
importance of public space for opportunities to hold
theater performances, somewhere to practice and
play music, arts/ makerspaces, a community gallery,
and video/ audio recording rooms.

COMMUNITY
Designated space for specific age groups is a priority
as well; the Newark community's priorities include early childhood recreation, a senior lounge, a teen dedicated teen center, community hall/ kitchen, computer lab,
and enrichment classrooms.

RECREATION
Newark community members value spaces which allow
them access to fitness and dance, a variety of sports
with multi-use courts, health care, and personal fitness through gyms and exercise rooms.

Nearly 600 residents and friends of the Newark community were engaged during round 1. Engagement efforts and pop-ups happened at Newark's Day in the Park on 4/12, Groovin' at the Grove concert series, and through an online survey.

The City of Newark and their consultant hired for this master planning project worked to complete facility condition assessments of all of their city-owned buildings. These assessments resulted in a final report that outlines the health of the physical building. This is shown through an FCI (Facility Condition Index) score which calculates what percent of the building needs to be replaced or renovated 3, 5, or 10 years into the future. These assessments do not focus on programming or whether the building is meeting community needs. 23Newark City Facilities Master Plan PMT Meeting 03/22/2023 NEWARK

REDEKER SENIOR CENTER EXISTING CONDITIONS
Located on Enterprise Drive, the Clark W. Redeker Senior Center has 7,300 square feet of building space on a single story and sits on a 0.84-acre site next to Ash Street Park. Clark W. Redeker Senior Center also faces the Newark Service Center across the street. The site was developed in two phases, the first in 1979 and the second in 1992 and it received some updates in 2007.

Free memberships to the Clark W. Redeker Senior Center are available to anyone age 55 or older. Eligible adults can have opportunities to engage in activities such as dance, educational classes, and budget-friendly special events. Members can also get information and referrals to outside agencies for Medicare, relocation help, Social Security, and downsizing resources.

The building itself is in overall good condition, but is small, outdated, and has maintenance needs. Some of the key findings from the facility condition assessment report include the movable partitions, foodservice equipment, and ADA kitchen and laundry areas as immediate needs and in poor condition. Clark W. Redeker Senior Center, though located next to a park, is not in a prime location to provide community programs, especially to an age group that can have limited access to safe transportation options. The building lacks the space and technology to accommodate modern adult recreation needs.

CONDITIONS
The George M. Silliman Community Activity Center, located on Mowry Avenue, was constructed in two phases, Phase I in 2000, and Phase II in 2004. In total, the activity center has nearly 69,000 square feet of recreation space such as a large aquatic facility, teen center, and sport courts. The aquatic facility includes a large lap pool, water slide, and waterspout play structure. Observations of this facility are listed below.

Indoor Aquatics
▪ Check In and staff workspaces are outdated and limited. Currently, there is one office for the aquatics manager, a small workroom for staff and a small staff lounge. ▪ The lap pool lacks modern aquatic recreation functionality such as aquatic fitness machines and ninja cross systems.

Outdoor
▪ Not many outdoor amenities such as general seating, picnic tables and/ or cabanas.
▪ Food services areas are additionally outdated and small. 11City of Newark Facilities Master Plan

POTENTIAL FUTURE PROJECTS
Throughout the duration of this planning process, several potential projects for the George M. Silliman Community Activity Center were identified for both the general recreation spaces and aquatics.

Recreation Projects*
Recreation spaces within the George M. Silliman Community Activity Center are in need of bigger and better storage solutions for their program spaces. Additionally, there are several areas of the recreation space that are underutilized and could be activated to provide additional programs. The Newark community expressed a need for additional multi-use gym and court space as well as an indoor walk/ run track during the community engagement process for this master plan.

Aquatic Projects*
As identified through community engagement efforts and existing facility analysis, there are aquatic needs that will be addressed through future projects such as improving and modernizing pool amenities. These amenities include food service and outdoor seating options. Additionally, the staff workspaces need updating as well as the public check in station. Also identified by the Newark community is a desire for updated aquatic recreation systems like Ninja Cross and aquatic fitness machines. *Location of potential future projects shown graphically on page 39.

DAVID W. SMITH CITY HALL EXISTING CONDITIONS
The David W. Smith City Hall was designed and constructed in 2020 by Perkins & Will and Webcor as part of the Civic Center campus along with the new Alan L.

Nagy Newark Library and Newark Police Department. It currently has nearly 25,600 square feet across two floors and 68 full time staff with 4 part time. It includes the City Administration (City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, HR), Information Technology (IT), Finance, Community Development, Public Works, and Fire prevention departments. Also located within David W. Smith City Hall are Newark’s City Council Chambers and conference room, several department workstations and conference rooms, breakrooms, two public service counters, and a large public lobby. The building is modern and full of natural light with a public staircase and elevator linking the two floors.

Public Lobbies and Service Counters
The David W. Smith City Hall currently has two service counters, a large first-floor lobby with a seating area, and a smaller lobby and two public service windows on the second floor. The service desk on the first floor mainly serves Community Development and the Public Works department, and the two windows upstairs serve the City Administration.
▪ Public lobbies and service desks are redundant and oversized. The first-floor lobby combined with the second-floor landing and second public waiting space oftentimes go unused by the public and would be much more useful as city department space.
▪ The public counter on the first floor is too large and can be reduced to make room for more workstations.
▪ Security for the first-floor service desk should be improved. 

Cubicle Work Areas
Both the first and second floor include large, open work areas with cubicles for various department staff. The department staff that work in these stations are from Public Works, Fire Prevention, Community Development, Human Resources, City Administration, Finance, and Information Technology (IT). ▪ Engineering staff workstation size can be reduced to make room for future Public Works staff additions in the southeast corner of the first floor.
▪ The main, larger open workspace has a slightly inefficient layout with some empty workstations and department work areas being used for storage.
▪ Conference room space is limited and does not
accommodate all staff needs. Because of the open cubicle layout, there are not many options for staff to take calls or mitigate noise if they do not have a personal office.

STAFF SURVEY RESULTS
To fully comprehend the existing space and needs of all facilities, staff and department head surveys were distributed. The purpose of these surveys was to collect information about both their department’s overall layout as well as their individual workspaces. The questions in the survey went into detail about what they liked about their current workspaces/ departments, what they would change, if their adjacencies were adequate, adequacy of storage, amount of noise, and more.

The general staff survey results summary for all departments can be found below and on the next few pages.

DAVID W. SMITH CITY HALL ADMINISTRATION NEEDS
As shown above, David W. Smith City Hall has several space needs that have been determined by examining staff survey results, conducting department head interviews, and completing a thorough walk-through of the work spaces.
▪ Workspace: Limited vacant workstations and offices for future staff growth ▪ Meeting Rooms: Meeting rooms have been reduced to accommodate for current office needs. Need for small focus/ zoom rooms
▪ Public Spaces: Public counters and lobbies are underutilized. Security concerns regarding current public counters.

Department Office Space
Department office space: Currently, David W. Smith City Hall is operating with 99 square feet of office space per person. This number is calculated using the square footage of each office space and how many staff members occupy each space. Total office square footage is divided by total staff members. There are 68 fulltime employees that work at David W. Smith City Hall and 4 part-time. Some departments are more efficient with space than others, but the results of this study show that David W. Smith City Hall’s floor plan is slightly inefficient, with each department needing more space to accommodate future staff growth.

SPACE UTILIZATION
Through calculating current space usage, the space allocation for David W. Smith City Hall was determined and is shown below in percentages. This calculation shows that the layout and current space allocation is slightly inefficient, with 29% percent used for circulation while 20-25% is the average. With some carefully rework of public lobbies and service desks, there could be some shift to increase office space to accommodate future staff growth.

City staff noted a lack of storage in the David W. Smith City Hall workspaces throughout the planning process, though in-person assessment and space utilization analyses concluded that existing storage is not efficiently used and could be reorganized to better handle staff storage needs.

FIRE STATION 27 EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Newark Fire Station 27 was built in 1981 on a corner lot located at Mowry Avenue and Cherry Street. The one-story station is approximately 6,000 SF and sited on a 1.38 acre site. The three-story fire training tower was constructed in 1982.

The fire station accommodates a single engine company, which is staffed with three fire personnel. The apparatus bays were expanded to accommodate longer fire apparatus and the one large dormitory room was divided into semiprivate sleeping areas with partial height walls.

The wood framed building is finished on the exterior, cement plaster on the walls, and metal mansard roof framing around the building perimeter. There is low sloped roof framing and foam roofing material behind the mansards to accommodate mechanical equipment.

The existing station comprised of two apparatus bays, which is also used as the decontamination clean up, turnout gear storage space and exercise space. All these functions are required to have separate ventilated spaces to be code compliant with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and OSHA.

The living quarters is a combined kitchen, dayroom and dining room space with separate locker room for personal gear and one restroom. The sleeping quarters are one large space that has been subdivided. The main public entrance to the fire station opens into a small lobby and reception area. There is no dedicated Fire Captain’s office or Firefighter work area for report writing.

The existing site is not secured along the entire perimeter of the site. There is adequate parking for fire personnel, but no dedicated parking for the public or accommodation for accessibility. The fire station is immediately adjacent to the Newark Skate Park, Sports Field Park and close to the Silliman Activity and Family Aquatic Center.

FIRE STATION 29 EXISTING CONDITIONS
Newark Fire Station 29 was built in 1962 and is located on the corner of Newark Blvd. and Dalewood Drive. The one-story station is approximately 5,142 SF and sited on a 0.58-acre site. The station was renovated and expanded in 1975 to accommodate individual bunk rooms and restrooms with showers and lockers.

The exterior walls are load bearing stack bond concrete masonry block with aluminum framed windows and doors. The roof framing is pitched and is covered with lightweight concrete tiles. There are several areas of dry rot, insect and water damage to the roof eaves and facias.

The fire station accommodates a single engine company, which is staffed with three fire personnel. The apparatus bays were not expanded to accommodate longer fire apparatus as originally planned. The existing station is comprised of two drive through apparatus bays, which are also used as the decontamination clean up and turnout gear storage space. All these functions are required to have separate ventilated spaces to be code compliant with the NFPA and OSHA.

The living quarters is a combined kitchen, dayroom and dining room space. There is a dedicated exercise space. The sleeping quarters is one large space that has been subdivided into semi private sleeping areas with partial height walls. The main public entrance to the fire station opens onto the watch room and reception area. There are dedicated Fire Captain’s office and Firefighter work area for report writing.

The existing site is not secured along the entire perimeter. There is adequate parking for fire personnel, but no dedicated parking for the public or accommodation for accessibility. The fire station is immediately adjacent to single family residential neighborhoods. Newark Junior High School, Newark Community Center Park and NewBark Dog Park are in close proximity.

FIRE STATION 27 & 29 NEEDS
As shown by the facility condition index numbers on pages 62 and 63, Fire Stations 27 and 29 are in need of major improvements projects. Both of the stations have a vast amount of deferred maintenance needs that include code compliance, life safety, and operational shortcomings. Both facilities were constructed several decades ago in the 1960s and 80s, and do not reflect modern fire safety standards. Listed below are the overall needs for both facilities. Facility-specific information can be found on pages 64 and 65.
▪ Essential Service Act Compliance: Both facilities need seismic strengthening and emergency back-up power.
▪ Code Compliance Issues: Current facilities to not meet current ADA as well as other compliance issues with egress and ventilation.
▪ Life Safety Issues: Current facilities need fire alarm systems. ▪ Operations: Improvements are needed to bring facilities up to current best practices for fire operations and security.

FIRE STATION 28 EXISTING CONDITIONS
Newark Fire Station 28 was built in 2005 and is located on the corner of Thornton Avenue and Ash Street. The two-story facility is approximately 18,000 square feet which includes a storage loft and walk in attic space. The site is approximately 1.12 acres and has secured parking for fire personnel and an ancillary building, which houses the emergency generator and fuel tank. Renovation to the mechanical system occurred in 2015, but no expansion to the facility was needed.

The existing fire station is constructed with concrete masonry block bearing walls on the first floor and second floors that are clad with traditional detailed face brick and has decorative cast stone features emphasizing the apparatus bays, window heads and sills and along the roof line. The roof assembly is comprised of a pitched metal roofing with traditionally detailed stepped parapet end walls with stone parapet caps.

The fire station accommodates a single engine company, which is staffed with three fire personnel and a Battalion Chief. There are three drive thru apparatus bays with dedicated spaces for medical storage, the self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) compressor, work shop, and decontamination clean-up. Though this is a relatively new station, the turnout gear is stored along the apparatus bay walls. Per code the turnout gear should be stored in a separate ventilated space to be code compliant with the NFPA and OSHA.

There is a main public entrance and dedicated lobby, reception area and accessible restroom. The administrative spaces include a conference room, work area for firefighters, and offices for the Fire Captain and Battalion Chief.

The living and sleeping quarters are on the second floor with an open concept kitchen, dayroom and dining room space, individual bunk rooms, gender specific restrooms, exercise room and a large roof patio space.

The existing site is secured along the entire perimeter with metal fencing. There is adequate parking for fire personnel and on street parking for public visitors, which accommodates accessibility. The fire station is immediately adjacent to railroad tracks, single family residences, and commercial businesses.

NEWARK POLICE DEPARTMENT EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Newark Police Department was built in 2020 along with the Alan L. Nagy Library and the David W. Smith City Hall as part of the Civic Center campus. The building sits on 1.76 acres and has one story of 24,000 square feet. The central location of the Newark Civic Center gives officers easy access to the Newark community and additionally connects the building to the plaza between the Alan L. Nagy Library and David W. Smith City Hall where community events often take place. The building’s public parking is shared with the Newark Civic Center and has secured police car parking as well.

The building is modern and features a large, light-filled public lobby and service desk.

Beyond the lobby, there is a large training room, open and individual office spaces, evidence storage, men’s and women’s locker rooms, and other detective and interview spaces. Observations are listed below:
▪ New building that serves the Newark community well
▪ Lobby and entryway acoustics: noise carries
▪ Ballistics and glazing need to be repaired
▪ Armory could use second tier security
▪ Patrol space lacks visual and acoustical control
▪ Red light analyst and dispatch supervisor share office 63City of Newark Facilities Master Plan

NEWARK SERVICE CENTER EXISTING CONDITIONS
Located on Filbert Street, the Newark Service Center sits across from the existing Clark W. Redeker Senior Center. There are seven buildings included on the site that were all developed between the years of 1965 and 1988. The seven buildings total just under 40,000 square feet. One of the seven buildings is used for Maintenance administration staff offices and is 2,400 square feet. Newark Service Center observations are listed below.

Administration Building
▪ Office space is not efficiently laid out.
▪ Portable facility that is outdated and small.

Lockers and Break Room
▪ Both genders' lockers are located within the open training/ lunchroom, meaning that staff are changing in the open area. A room divider exists but does not work anymore.

Building Shop and Maintenance Bays
▪ Shop does not have HVAC/ proper air circulation.
▪ Maintenance bays cannot fully accommodate fleet size; fire engines do not fit well.

Covered Parking and Security
▪ The back corners of the Newark Service Center are sometimes used as illegal entry points to the facility; facility security is not adequate. ▪ Not enough coverage for parking needs.

TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Art Interiano, Deputy Community Development Director SUBJECT    Resolution Approving an Alternate Means of Compliance for the Lepashki Homes Project
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Lepakshi Homes submitted an application to develop 88 dwelling units and 1,620 square feet of commercial space in two buildings located on Thornton Avenue adjacent to Olive Street and Mulberry Street. The project site is located at the intersection of Thornton Avenue and Olive Street in the central part of the City of Newark. The project is in the Old Town Newark Specific Plan (OTNSP) Area.  As part of the project, the developer requested to provide 13 units to low-income households as an alternative means of compliance to payment of the affordable housing impact fee.

Newark’s Affordable Housing Program requires that developers pay an impact fee to preserve or increase the supply of affordable housing in the city.  As an alternative to paying the impact fee, a developer may provide on-site affordable housing units per Newark Municipal Code (NMC) Section 17.18.050, subject to City Council approval.

Providing affordable units is subject to an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement established between the City and the residential developer. To comply with the requirements of NMC Section 17.80.050, the developer has agreed to an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement. The Regulatory agreement is between the City and Lepakshi Homes and describes the obligations and securities required by the City.

At their meeting on August 13, 2024, the Planning Commission voted 5-0-0 to approve the Design Review Architectural Permit, Density Bonus Incentives/Waivers, and Vesting Tentative Map for the project (the Entitlements).  The Planning Commission also recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Alternative Means of Compliance to Payment of the Housing Impact Fee for the Lepakshi Homes project based on an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement.  The Entitlements are conditioned upon City Council approval of the Alternative Means of Compliance.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving an Alternative Means of Compliance for the Lepakshi Homes project, which will provide 13 units for low-income households in lieu of payment of an affordable housing fee for a project consisting of 88 residential condo units and 1,620 square feet of commercial Packet Page No. 1535
space (APNS: 692-30-14-3, 92-30-15-2, 92-30-16-2, 92-30-17-2, 92-30-18-4, 92-31-15, and 92-31-16-2).

BACKGROUND
Project Context and Proposal
The project is located within the City of Newark’s Old Town Newark Specific Plan (OTNSP) Area, which was established in 2021 via adoption of the OTNSP. The goal of the OTNSP is to create a vibrant, more walkable, and pedestrian-friendly commercial district. The Specific Plan allows for greater residential development in a commercial/mixed-use district format that will allow future residents better walking access to basic goods and services as well as dining and some employment options. It also modifies standards in the residential zoning districts adjacent to the Commercial Core sub-area of the OTNSP to provide a better transition between the higher density core and lower density neighborhoods and increase the residential population that can walk to the services and goods provided in the core.

The site is designated Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) on the City’s General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map and is located within the Commercial Core sub-area of the OTNSP. The project is identified as an “opportunity site” for potential future development by the OTNSP.

The project site consists of seven parcels, with Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs):
692-30-14-3, 92-30-15-2, 92-30-16-2, 92-30-17-2, 92-30-18-4, 92-31-15, and 92-31-16-2, which are proposed for consolidated development as two adjacent lots.

The two roughly rectangular lots are separated by a small green space and cul-de-sac area located at the terminus of Olive Street, which is part of the public right-of-way. Lot 1, the larger and more easterly of the two lots, is approximately 43,976 square feet (1.01 acres) and Lot 2, the smaller lot located to the west, is approximately 10,770 square feet (0.25 acres), for a total site area of 54,746 square feet (1.25 acres). The project site is bordered by single-family homes to the west and by commercial development to the north, east, and south.

Project Design
The applicant is proposing to construct a total of 88 units in two buildings (Buildings A and B) on two lots.  The lots are separated by a green space that is in the public right-of-way.  The building design is contemporary Spanish architectural design. The façades include wrought iron balconies and colorful ceramic tiles. The ground floor of the buildings has identifiable entrances along Thornton Avenue that include towers with tile roofs, metal canopies, awnings, tile veneers, horizontal and vertical trim, and accents. Building A is located on Lot 1, which is approximately one acre. This building is five stories and includes a total of 60 multi-family units and 125 parking spaces.

Building B, which is to be located on Lot 2, would have essentially the same architectural style as Building A.  This building would also be five stories, with a maximum height of 62 feet. It would provide 28 residential units and 1,620 square feet of ground floor commercial.  This building would also provide 13 parking spaces.  An additional 22 parking spaces and bike parking for this building would be in the garage for Building A.  Given the significance of this project, staff worked with Larry Cannon of the Cannon Design Group to review the proposed architecture and make Packet Page No. 1536
the Cannon Design Group to review the proposed architecture and make recommendations regarding the project’s consistency with the OTNSP and the overall design of the project.  Mr. Cannon reviewed several iterations of the project and made several recommendations for changes that are summarized below:

Simplify and unify the facades using a common bay and window design whenever possible
Unify the corners of the overall design
Add variety to the top floor heights
Enhance the pedestrian experience
Add projecting eaves and gable ends
Add balconies
The applicant revised the design to implement Mr. Cannon’s recommendations by simplifying the design by using common bay and window designs, varied the heights of the gables, and adding balconies, projecting eaves and gable ends.

Density Bonus Concessions/Waivers
Overall, the project would substantially comply with the Zoning Code, such as the height and parking requirements. While the applicant is not requesting an increase in density, this project qualifies for an incentive/concession due to the amount of affordable units provided.  An incentive/concession is defined as a reduction in site development standards or a modification of zoning code or architectural design requirements, such as a reduction in setback or minimum square footage requirements, approval of mixed-use zoning, or other regulatory incentives or concessions that result in identifiable and actual cost reductions.  In addition, the Density Bonus Law grants the waiver or reduction of an unlimited number of development standards that would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the development with the density bonus and incentives/concessions requested.

The following sections list the incentive/concession and waivers requested for the project and provide a brief explanation for each.

Incentive/Concession -- Residential on the ground floor - The OTNSP does not permit residential units on the ground floor of a development fronting Thornton Avenue.

Residential may be located elsewhere on the ground-floor if set back a minimum of 10 feet from the property line.  In Building A, there are four units located on the ground floor along Thornton Avenue and one unit along the ground floor on Mulberry Street.

All five units would have to be eliminated to meet this requirement, which would impact the viability of the project.  Not allowing the units on the ground floor also Packet Page No. 1537
impacts the design.  The project has been designed to continue a similar appearance to Building A and to provide the transparency required by the OTNSP.

Waiver #1 – Visibility Triangle - Chapter 10.36 Visibility Requirements requires the sight visibility triangle to be measured from the right-of-way for the new driveways on Thornton Avenue and the corner of Mulberry Street and Thornton Avenue. The applicant requested a waiver to allow the sight visibility triangle to be measured from the face of the curb instead. The site triangle is not needed due to the intersection being right turn only and there is a median on Thornton Avenue that prevents left turns onto Mulberry Street.  The Public Works Engineering Division has reviewed this request and does not object based on the OTNSP policies and standards.

Waiver #2 – Fence Height - Section 17.17.040 Fences and Freestanding Walls allows the maximum height of fences to be 6 feet on non-residential properties along the rear property line.  The applicant requested a waiver to allow the fence to be eight feet tall to provide additional privacy between the project site and the adjoining properties.   The code allows fences to be eight feet tall with approval of a minor use permit.  This request was proposed as a waiver to streamline the approval process and provide additional privacy for the adjacent neighbors.

Waiver #3 – Width Requirement for Commercial Space - Section 17.080.040(A) Requires commercial space to be a minimum of thirty-feet wide. The width of the commercial space in Building B ranges from 23 feet to 26 feet.  This building is on Lot 2 and is a narrow lot that is just over 10,000 square feet.  Redesigning the commercial space to provide a minimum dimension of 30 feet would require relocating the stairs and mechanical space and would either result in not having sufficient parking or potentially having to reduce the unit count to accommodate the reduction in parking.

Some of the parking for Building B (22 spaces), is located in Building A and there is not sufficient space to accommodate any loss of parking in Building B.

Vesting Tentative Tract Map
The applicant requested for a Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8632 to construct the 88 multi-family units and 1,620 square feet of commercial space on two lots that would replace the existing seven lots. The two roughly rectangular parcels are separated by a small green space and cul-de-sac area located at the terminus of Olive Street, which is part of the public right-of-way. This area will continue to be owned and maintained by the City and will be landscaped as part of the Thornton Avenue Streetscape project.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
In 2021 the City of Newark certified the OTNSP Addendum to the General Plan EIR which analyzed the environmental impacts of implementation of the OTNSP, including development of the project site. This analysis determined that implementation of the OTNSP would not result in any new or substantially more severe environmental effects than what was already disclosed and analyzed in the General Plan EIR that was certified in 2013. As discussed in the Environmental Checklist), the project would not result in substantially more significant (or severe) environmental effects than those identified in the Addendum to the General Plan EIR. Based on this analysis, the project qualifies Section 15183.3 of CEQA Guidelines which limits project level review for infill Packet Page No. 1538
developments for which effects have been addressed by planning decisions or uniformly applicable development policies. Additionally, this analysis demonstrates that the project also qualifies for an Eligible Community Plan or Zoning Exemption and Infill Exemption, and no additional environmental review is required under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 and 15183.3.

Community Meeting
The applicant held two community meetings for the project. The first meeting was held on July 6, 2023, at the Silliman Activity and Family Aquatic Center and the other on June 20, 2024, at the Community Meeting Room in the Newark Library.

At the July 6, 2023, there were approximately eight people in attendance at the meeting. Residents raised questions and concerns regarding parking, traffic along Olive Street and Thornton Avenue, the height of Building B being too tall and that it would cast a shadow and overlook onto a single-family residential property. The residents also requested that the open space area at the Olive Street cul-de-sac look aesthetically pleasing. Since the meeting, the applicant has made changes to the design of the project and scheduled a second community meeting on June 20, 2024.

At the June 20, 2024, community meeting, the applicant presented an updated overview of the project. The project architect attended virtually. Approximately six people attended the meeting. Comments included questions about parking along the street and vehicular traffic from the project's residential units.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Affordable Housing Program
Affordable housing in Newark is guided by existing policies and actions contained in the 2015-2023 Housing Element and the requirements within the NMC Chapter 17.18, Affordable Housing Program. State housing law provides additional requirements and regulations for the development and maintenance of affordable housing. Together, these policies and regulations provide the affordable housing framework upon which affordable housing decisions are made within Newark. The City’s Community Development Department (CDD) is responsible for implementing affordable housing policies and laws.

Newark’s Affordable Housing Program requires that developers pay an impact fee to preserve or increase the supply of affordable housing in the city.  As an alternative to paying the impact fee, a developer may provide on-site affordable housing units per NMC 17.18.050, subject to City Council approval.

Affordable Housing Request
The project is providing 13 units that will be sold to low-income households.  Affordable housing in Newark is guided by existing policies and actions contained in the 2023-2031 Housing Element such as increasing access to affordable housing by requiring on-site production of units rather than allowing the payment of an in-lieu or impact fee to support increased access to affordable housing opportunities across the city and in high opportunity areas and the requirements within the NMC Chapter 17.18, Packet Page No. 1539
city and in high opportunity areas and the requirements within the NMC Chapter 17.18, Affordable Housing Program. State housing law provides additional requirements and regulations for the development and maintenance of affordable housing. Together, these policies and regulations provide the affordable housing framework upon which affordable housing decisions are made within Newark. The City’s Community Development Department (CDD) is responsible for implementing affordable housing policy and laws.

Alternative Means of Compliance
Newark’s Affordable Housing Program requires that developers pay an impact fee to preserve or increase the supply of affordable housing in the city.  As an alternative to paying the impact fee, a developer may provide on-site affordable housing units per NMC 17.18.050, subject to City Council approval. The developer is requesting to provide 13 affordable units in-lieu of paying the impact fee.

The current Housing Impact Fee rate for multi-family residential projects is $24.68 per square foot of floor area for the first 1,000 square feet and $9.89 per square foot above 1,000 square feet, per unit.  Based on the proposed size and number of residential units from both projects, the Housing Impact Fee for the 88 units would be $1,971,253. As allowed by NMC 17.18.050, residential developers may provide affordable units on site as an alternative to payment of the Housing Impact Fee, subject to City Council approval. As part of the Housing Impact fee resolution, the City Council established minimum percentages and affordability levels for affordable units which, if satisfied, would automatically qualify as an approved alternative means of compliance without the need for further approval. Applicants may still propose alternative means of compliance, but City Council approval is required.

For the proposed development, 17% (15 units) of the units would need to be provided as affordable housing (divided between very low-income, low income, and moderate income) to mitigate housing impacts per Resolution 10,184. However, the city has requested, and the developer is providing 15% (13 units) at the low-income affordability level.

The affordable units would be provided as affordable housing to households with an income of no greater than 80% of the Area Median Income for Alameda County. The units would consist of a mix of eleven 1-bedroom and two 2-bedroom units.  Staff believes the proposed affordable units will be more beneficial and appeal to a larger pool of future residents in the area. While this would result in a fewer number of overall affordable units, all the units will be low-income units, with no moderate-income units.

This will help support homeownership opportunities for low-income households, which are rare.

Regarding the location of the affordable units, a total of 11 units will be in Building B, including 9 one-bedroom units and 2 two-bedroom units. Two one-bedroom units will be in Building A. The affordable units will be indistinguishable from the market-rate units. Providing below-market rate units in-lieu of paying housing impact fees has been strongly supported by the City in the past.

Packet Page No. 1540
Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement
Providing affordable units are subject to an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement established between the City and the residential developer. To comply with the requirements of NMC Section 17.80.050, the developer has agreed to an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement (Attachment 1, Exhibit A). The Regulatory Agreement is between the City and Lepakshi Homes and describes the obligations and securities required by the City. The Regulatory Agreement establishes standards to enforce implementation and management requirements for the affordable units. This agreement would establish the total affordable unit count and income category distribution described, set the deed-restricted affordable duration (45 years), Newark local preference and various other terms for Lepakshi’s homes initial sale of the units.

Individual buyers of the affordable units will be required to enter into similar agreements at the time of purchase to ensure the units are used as affordable housing. This agreement would also establish administrative and ongoing management requirements. When the affordable units are resold, the Homebuyer will retain the value of any improvements, be reimbursed for the down payment, and the appreciation, per State law, will be equally shared between the City and the Homebuyer.  The City's share of the appreciation would be deposited into the City's Housing Fund, which funds the City's affordable housing programs.

In terms of implementation, the Community Development Department's Planning Division will oversee compliance with the agreement as part of their duties.

Additionally, a consulting firm is expected to be hired to assist with the sale and resale of units citywide.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the Alternate Means of Compliance for the Lepashki Homes will result in the creation of 13 affordable units for low-income residents in-lieu of paying housing impact fees to the city in the amount of $1,971,253. The housing impact fee amount is an approximate amount based on the housing impact fee that would be applicable today, based on the City's Impact Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

ENVIRONMENTAL/PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW
The Planning Commission reviewed the project at their meeting of August 13, 2024.

One member of the public spoke at the meeting and expressed concern about traffic.

As part of the environmental review of the project, it was determined that all potential environmental impacts had no significant impact and that the project qualified for the Eligible Community Plan or Zoning Exemption and Infill Exemption and no additional environmental review is required.  At the conclusion of the meeting, the Commission voted 5-0 to approve the Design Review, Density Bonus Concessions/Waivers and Vesting Tentative Map applications.  The Commission also voted 5-0 to recommend that the City Council approve the Alternative Means of Compliance for Paying the Affordable Housing Fee.

(iii) The Restricted Unit shall be of the same general design as the other units in the Project and shall be comparable to such units in size, amenities and quality of construction. The Packet Page No. 1549
5 Restricted Units shall be intermingled with the other Units on the Property. Residents in all dwelling units, including the Restricted Units, shall have equal access to and enjoyment of all common facilities of the Project.
(iv) All of the Restricted Units shall be constructed concurrently with, or earlier than, other dwelling units in the Project. For purposes of this Agreement, “concurrent construction,” shall mean that at least one (1) Restricted Unit must be available for occupancy for every six (6) dwelling units available for rent and occupancy.
(iv) In connection with the sale of each Restricted Unit, Developer shall require the purchaser to execute a Homebuyer Resale Restriction Agreement(“Homebuyer Resale Agreement”) in a form provided by City and shall cause such Homebuyer Resale Agreement to be recorded in the Official Records of Alameda County concurrently with the recordation of the grant deed conveying title to the Property. The Homebuyer Resale Agreement shall provide that when Homebuyer sells the Property, the Homebuyer shall retain the value of any improvements, the downpayment, and the Homebuyer’s proportionate share of appreciation, and the City shall recapture the initial subsidy and receive its proportionate share of the appreciation, as further specified in Government Code section 65915(c)(2)(C). City may, in City’s discretion, require the execution, delivery and recordation of additional documents in connection with the sale of the Restricted Unit, including without limitation disclosure documents and a performance deed of trust securing the homebuyer’s obligations under the Homebuyer Resale Agreement.

3.1 Maximum Initial Sale Price. Developer shall sell the Property, and the Restricted Unit located thereon, to an Eligible Buyer at a price that is not in excess of the Maximum Initial Sale Price as determined by the City. The Parties acknowledge that the Maximum Initial Sale Price is intended to enable Eligible Buyers to purchase the Restricted Unit at a price that will result in affordable housing costs for such Eligible Buyers. (i) Area Median Income for Eligible Buyers shall be determined at the time the Eligible Buyer is pre-qualified for purchase in accordance with Section 2 hereof; (ii) The Maximum Initial Sale Price means a home purchase price resulting in an average monthly housing cost (including mortgage loan principal and interest, mortgage insurance fees, property taxes and assessments, an allowance for property maintenance and repairs established by the City based on the initial cost and size of the home, homeowner’s insurance premiums, a reasonable utility allowance, and homeowner’s association dues) which is equal to or less than:
(a) For Low-Income Households: one-twelfth (1/12th) of thirtypercent (30%) of seventy percent (70%) of Area Median Income, adjusted for household size. (b) Amounts for utility allowances and other monthly housing cost factors including assumed mortgage interest rates, mortgage insurance fees, maintenance and repair allowances, homeowners' insurance, and homeowner’s association dues, shall be Packet Page No. 1550
6 reasonably established by the City in consultation with guidance and regulations published by the Alameda County Housing Authority, or if not available, guidance and regulations published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development and/or the United Stated Department of Housing and Urban Development.

3.2 Compliance Monitoring. Prior to the close of escrow for the initial sale of the Property, Developer shall forward to the City evidence of the purchaser’s status as an Eligible Buyer, copies of the buyer’s and seller’s settlement statements, and executed copies of all closing documents, including the Homebuyer Resale Agreement and such other documents as City may require.

4. Enforcement. The City is deemed to be the beneficiary of this Agreement and the covenants herein, both for and in its own right and for the purpose of protecting the interests of the community and other parties, public or private, for whose benefit this Agreement and the covenants set forth herein have been provided. If any such covenants are breached, the City shall have the right to exercise all rights and remedies at law or in equity, expressly including the remedy of specific performance, and to maintain any actions or suits at law or in equity or other proper proceedings to enforce the curing of such breaches. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative.

5. Default and Remedies.

5.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default hereunder ("Event of Default"):
(a) Developer’s failure to maintain insurance on the Property and the Project as required hereunder, and the failure of Developer to cure such default within ten (10) business days.
(b) Subject to Developer’s right to contest the following charges, Developer’s failure to pay taxes or assessments due on the Property or the Project or failure to pay any other charge that may result in a lien on the Property or the Project, and Developer’s failure to cure such default within ten (10) business days.
(c) Developer’s default in the performance of any term, provision or covenant under this Agreement, and unless such provision specifies a shorter cure period for such default, the continuation of such default for ten (10) business days in the event of a monetary default or thirty (30) days in the event of a non-monetary default following the date upon which City shall have given written notice of the default to Developer, or if the nature of any such non-monetary default is such that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, Developer’s failure to commence to cure the default within thirty (30) days and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default with due diligence and in good faith, but in no event longer than sixty (60) days from receipt of the notice of default.

Packet Page No. 1551
7 5.2 Remedies. If within the applicable cure period, Developer fails to cure a default or fails to commence to cure and diligently pursue completion of a cure, as applicable, or if a cure is not possible, City may bring an action for equitable relief seeking the specific performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and/or enjoining, abating, or preventing any violation of such terms and conditions, and/or seeking declaratory relief; or exercise any rights and remedies available to City under applicable law or in equity.

5.3 Liquidated Damages. In the event that the Developer sells a Restricted Unit in violation of this Agreement, the City shall retain or recover from Developer the surplus, if any, as its property without any deduction, offset or recoupment whatsoever. For the purposes of this section, the surplus shall be the difference between the actual sales price or fair market value (whichever is greater) net of reasonable and customary real estate commissions paid, and the Maximum Initial Sales Price as applicable under the terms of this Agreement at the time of sale of the Property. If the Developer should sell the Property at market rate to an individual who shall receive title free and clear of the provisions of this Agreement, then the damages suffered by the City by reason thereof would be uncertain.

Such damages would involve the replacement costs for another affordable unit, and the expenses of continuing the ownership and control of the Property by the City; postponement of tax revenues therefrom to the community; and the failure of the City to effect its purposes and objectives within a reasonable time, resulting in additional immeasurable damage and loss to the City and the community. It is impractical and extremely difficult to fix the amount of such damages to the City, but the Parties are of the opinion, upon the basis of all information available to them, that such damages would exceed the amount of any projected surplus as the total of all liquidated damages and not as a penalty. In the event that this section should be held to be void for any reason by a court of law, the City shall be entitled to seek the full extent of damages otherwise provided by law.

5.4 No Waiver. No failure or delay by the City in the assertion of any of its rights and remedies as to any default shall operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies.

5.5 Limitation on Damages. In no event shall damages be awarded against City upon an event of default or upon termination of this Agreement

5.6 Mortgagee Right to Cure Default. This Agreement shall be recorded in the Official Records of Alameda County and shall be superior and senior to any lien thereafter placed upon the Property, or any portion thereof, including the lien for any loan, deed of trust, or mortgage ("Mortgage"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no breach hereof shall defeat, render invalid, diminish or impair the lien of any Mortgage made in good faith and for value, but all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon and effective against any person or entity, including any lender, deed of trust beneficiary, or mortgagee ("Mortgagee") Packet Page No. 1552
8 who acquires title to the Property, or any portion thereof, by foreclosure, trustee's sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise.

5.7 Rental of Units. The Developer shall not Rent the Restricted Units, without the prior written consent of the City, which may be withheld or conditioned by the City as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to ensure that the Restricted Unis are made available to and occupied by income eligible households.

6. Covenants to Run with the Land. Developer hereby subjects the Property to the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. The Parties hereby declare their express intent that all such covenants, conditions and restrictions shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall pass to and be binding upon the Developer’s successors in title to the Property. All covenants without regard to technical classification or designation shall be binding for the benefit of the City, and such covenants shall run in favor of the City for the entire term of this Agreement. Each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed applicable to or conveying the Property or any portion thereof shall conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to such covenants, conditions and restrictions, regardless of whether such covenants, conditions and restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instrument.

7. Nondiscrimination.

7.1 Nondiscrimination. There shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person, or group of persons, on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Property or the Project, or any part thereof, nor shall Developer, or any party or person claiming under or through Developer, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees of the Property, or any part thereof.

7.2 Anti-Discrimination Clauses in Agreements. Developer and its successors and assigns shall refrain from restricting the rental, sale, or lease of any portion of the Property or the Project to any person on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code. All such deeds, leases or contracts shall contain or be subject to substantially the following nondiscrimination or non-segregation clauses:

8. Term; Release of Property from Agreement.
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, the term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date, and shall, without regard to technical classification or Packet Page No. 1553
9 designation, shall run with the land and be binding on Developer and its successors and assigns for the benefit of the City and the City. The covenants contained in this Agreement shall remain in effect for the longest feasible time, but not less than forty-five (45) years. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, this Agreement shall be terminated and the lien hereof shall be extinguished and released from title to the Property upon the occurrence of all the following: (i) the issuance of final certificates of occupancy for each Restricted Unit, (ii) the sale of each Restricted Unit to an Eligible Buyer, and (iii) the recordation of the Homebuyer Resale Agreement and City Deed of Trust for all Restricted Units. Provided that conditions (i) through (iii) above have been satisfied with regards to an entire building with the Project, then that specific building will be released from this Agreement.

9. Insurance and Indemnity.

9.1 Indemnity. Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel approved by City) and hold City, its elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all liability, loss, cost, expense (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation), claim, demand, action, suit, judicial or administrative proceeding, judgment, penalty, deficiency, fine, order, and damage (all of the foregoing collectively “Claims”) arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as a result of or in connection with Developer’s development, sale or ownership of the Restricted Unit and/or the Project, or Developer’s performance or nonperformance under this Agreement.

Developer’s indemnification obligations under this Section 10.1 shall not extend to Claims resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnitees. The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement and the release of the Property or any part thereof from the burdens of this Agreement. It is further agreed that City and City do not and shall not waive any rights against Developer that they may have by reason of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City by Developer, of any of the insurance policies described in this Agreement.

9.2 Insurance. For so long as Developer maintains an interest in the Restricted Unit, Developer shall maintain at Developer’s expense, comprehensive general liability insurance and property damage insurance with such coverage and limits as may be reasonably requested by City from time to time, but in no event less than the sum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence combined single limit. Such policies shall be issued by insurers licensed to issue such policies in California and having a rating of A-VII or better in Best’s Insurance Guide, shall be primary coverage not contributing with and not in excess of any coverage that City may carry, and shall name the Indemnitees (defined in Section 10.1) as additional insureds. Upon City request, Developer shall provide City with such proof of insurance as City shall reasonably request.

DATE 09/12/2024
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM James Scanlin, Environmental Services Manager
SUBJECT    Status of the Newark Climate Action Plan Update project SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The City has a long history of being proactive in addressing the threat of climate change. In 2007, Mayor David W. Smith signed the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement, thereby committing the City to taking action for climate protection. The City adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in January 2010. The CAP set a target to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from activities within the city to 1990 levels by 2020 (i.e., an approximately 15% reduction) which was in line with the State's target at that time.

Due to the increasing awareness of the threat of climate change, the State has adopted much more aggressive GHG reduction targets. The State's target is to reduce GHG emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2045.

The City seeks to align with the State’s updated GHG reduction targets and is preparing an update to the 2010 CAP. This update, titled Climate Action Newark (CAN), will provide the City with a plan to reduce GHG emissions from activities in Newark over the coming decades.

Staff recommends that the City Council receive an update on the status of Climate Action Newark as an update to the 2010 CAP.

BACKGROUND
Since the City’s 2010 CAP was adopted, the regulatory landscape of climate action has shifted toward dramatic decarbonization efforts. The State adopted a 2030 GHG reduction target of 40% below 1990 levels through Senate Bill (SB) 32, and Assembly Bill (AB) 1279 requires the State to achieve net zero GHG emissions as soon as possible but no later than 2045 and to reduce anthropogenic GHG emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels by 2045. The California Air Resources Board’s (CARB’s) 2022 Scoping Plan for Achieving Carbon Neutrality lays out a pathway to achieving the AB 1279 targets. In addition, as the State implements GHG regulations that target new development (e.g., strengthening building energy efficiency standards), the opportunities for additional reductions from new development at the local level diminish.

These circumstances underscore the need to focus on actions within the City’s authority and influence to reduce emissions from the existing building stock and built Packet Page No. 1602
authority and influence to reduce emissions from the existing building stock and built environment (e.g., community and roadway design, energy systems, vehicle fueling and charging) to align with the State targets. Aligning with the State's targets will allow development projects to meet CEQA greenhouse gas emission requirements by incorporating the City's CAP measures.

Climate Action Newark (CAN) is a comprehensive strategy to mitigate the impacts of climate change and reduce GHG emissions. The guiding principles of CAN that will drive strategy development include the following:

Ambitious. The proposed strategies will be ambitious and serve to “move the needle” in reducing GHGs and support community resilience.

Realistic. While the proposed strategies will be ambitious, their implementation will be realistic and attainable, given local capacity.

Collaborative. Implementing the proposed strategies will require collaboration and involvement from multiple city departments, the broader community, and other stakeholders.

Comprehensive. The proposed strategies will span a range of sectors within the city and support broader regional initiatives.

Fair. The proposed strategies will enact solutions that equitably address the sources and risks of climate change and will share the costs and benefits of action across the city.

Beneficial. The proposed strategies aim to improve the city’s livability and the well-being of all community members.

Specific. The proposed strategies will be as specific as possible, either through the language of the strategies themselves and/or through a suite of later-determined implementation details. Implementation details may include lead and supporting actors, implementing mechanisms, and potential funding sources, among others. Additionally, proposed strategies will be locally relevant, deliver local benefits, and support local priorities.

Evidence-Based. The proposed strategies will reflect evidence-based knowledge and local understanding and be informed by empirical inputs (e.g., GHG inventory and forecasts).

Transparent. Following an open decision-making process, the implementation of proposed strategies will be tracked, reported on, and evaluated over time to determine any necessary updates or revisions to strategies.

Additionally, implementation of the actions that will be included in CAN will result in co-benefits. Co-benefits refer to the additional positive outcomes alongside the primary goal(s) of each strategy upon implementation, and they may manifest across various sectors, including environmental, social, economic, and public health domains. Specific co-benefits that will be evaluated for the strategies included in CAN include:

Improved Public Health: This may include, but is not limited to, reduced air pollution (e.g., through reducing vehicle miles traveled and transitioning to cleaner energy sources) and improved mental health (e.g., through access to clean and green spaces).

Community Cost Savings: This may include, but is not limited to, savings related to energy efficiency (e.g., lower energy bills), infrastructure resilience (e.g., avoidance of costly repairs for damages that would have happened otherwise), Packet Page No. 1603
and healthcare.

Environmental Quality: This may include, but is not limited to, biodiversity conservation, water conservation, and waste reduction.

Economic Development: This may include, but is not limited to, job creation (e.g., investments in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and green infrastructure resulting in economic growth and diversification), innovation and entrepreneurship, and recreation.

Equity: This may include, but is not limited to, social inclusion (e.g., addressing disparities, promoting greater access to resources), environmental justice (e.g., mitigating cumulative impacts from environmental stressors, fair distribution of environmental benefits), and economic empowerment.

Adaptation/Resilience: This may include, but is not limited to, improved infrastructure resilience, improved disaster preparedness, and enhanced community cohesion.

Resource Conservation: This may include, but is not limited to, sustainable resource management (e.g., preservation of natural resources, efficient use of resources).

Overall, CAN will be essential for mitigating climate change, safeguarding the environment, fostering economic growth, and improving the quality of life for current and future generations.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Staff has prepared an updated GHG emissions inventory for the year 2022 to serve as a baseline for Climate Action Newark. In addition, staff has prepared GHG emissions forecasts for the years 2030, 2035, 2040, and 2045 along with GHG reduction targets that align with the State’s adopted targets. The City’s targets represent the fair share of GHG emissions that should be reduced to align with SB 32 and AB 1279, accounting for the sources of emissions generated in Newark.
2005 and 2022 GHG Emissions Comparison
Staff compared the 2005 inventory prepared as part of the 2010 CAP with the updated 2022 inventory. This allows the City to measure progress since the 2010 CAP was adopted. It is important to note that the comparison between the two inventories includes only the emissions sectors that allowed for a side-by-side comparison. Due to a lack of available data or methodologies, the updated 2022 inventory provides additional emissions data for sectors not previously included in the 2010 CAP. The comparison between the two inventories is shown in Table 1 below. Emissions are presented in units of metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e).

The 2020 target included in the 2010 CAP was to reduce emissions by 15% despite population and employment growth. A 2020 inventory was not completed as it would have shown anomalies due to the change in economics and behaviors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, comparing the two inventories shows that the City was able to reduce emissions 16% below 2005 levels in 2022. 2022 GHG Emissions Inventory Results
The comprehensive 2022 GHG emissions inventory results are shown in Table 2 below (which includes additional emissions sectors not previously estimated in the 2010 inventory).

GHG Emissions Forecasts
After completing the GHG emissions inventory, staff prepared the emissions forecast analysis. The purpose of GHG emissions forecast analysis is to estimate how GHG emissions may evolve in the future given changes in population and housing, economic growth, and how state and federal legislation may help to reduce local emissions. Two forecast scenarios were prepared in that provide an assessment of how emissions generated by activities will change over time: business-as-usual (BAU) forecast and legislative-adjusted BAU forecast. The BAU forecast represents future emissions without further state, federal, regional, or local action while accounting for the city’s population, employment, and land use change(s). This scenario is considered highly Packet Page No. 1605
conservative and unrealistic as it does not take into account known effects of current regulations on future emissions.

The legislative-adjusted BAU emissions forecasts uses the same demographic and VMT data that were used for the BAU forecasts, while also accounting for state and federal policies and regulations that would affect local emissions. For example, growth in residential building electricity consumption was scaled using housing units as the growth scaling factor, and a legislative reduction was applied to incorporate the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6 building energy efficiency standards for new development.

The GHG reductions considered in the legislative-adjusted BAU forecast fall generally into four categories: building energy efficiency standards, fuel efficiency standards, electric vehicle sales requirements, and renewable and zero-carbon electricity requirements. The primary drivers of the emissions reductions are the requirements of SB 100 and SB 1020 (carbon-free electricity), as well as increased electric vehicle penetration from the Advanced Clean Cars II regulation. These forecasts provide the City with a more robust understanding of future emissions to assist with the prioritization of emissions reduction measures developed to meet GHG targets. Table 3 below shows the results of the legislative-adjusted BAU forecast for Newark over several horizon years, comparing the results with the 2022 inventory.

GHG Emissions Reduction Targets
As mentioned above, the City aims to reduce GHG emissions in proportion to the State’s targets. Newark’s GHG reduction targets were developed relative to the 2022 emissions inventory. Based on the sectors relevant to the City’s inventory, Newark’s GHG reduction targets are as follows:
2030 target: 40 percent below 2022 levels (225,092 MTCO2e), 2035 target: 58 percent below 2022 levels (160,291 MTCO2e), 2040 target: 72 percent below 2022 levels (104,538 MTCO2e), and 2045 target: 88 percent below 2022 levels (46,477 MTCO2e).

Figure 2 depicts the legislative-adjusted BAU forecasts by sector, as distinguished by colored wedges, and the City’s emissions reduction targets relative to the 2022 emissions inventory. The space between the trajectory of the black line (i.e., targets) and the top of the colored wedges (i.e., forecasted emissions) represents the “gap” in emissions that will need to be addressed through local actions for the City to meet its GHG reduction targets.

Figure 2
Packet Page No. 1607
The next steps to develop CAN includes hosting a community meeting on September 25th and preparing strategies and actions that can close the gap between the City’s legislative-adjusted forecast and reduction targets.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Climate Action Plan update is funded with an allocation of $197,000 from the Development Maintenance Impact Fee funds.

DATE 09/12/2024
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Lenka Hovorka, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT    Introduction of an Ordinance amending Chapter 2.09 of the Newark Municipal Code ("City Councilmembers-Compensation") to
increase the salaries of City Councilmembers and Mayor.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
On June 27, 2024, City Council approved the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan which included a six percent increase for the Mayor and Councilmembers. Staff recommends that the City Council waive full reading and, by title only, introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 2.09 of the Newark Municipal Code ("City Councilmembers-Compensation") to increase the salaries of City Councilmembers and Mayor by six percent (6%).

BACKGROUND
The salaries and benefits for the Mayor and City Councilmembers are set by City ordinance. The current monthly salaries are $2,999 for the Mayor and $1,371 for each Councilmember. City Council salaries were last increased on January 1, 2023, by ten percent (10%).

Chapter 2.09 of the Newark Municipal Code requires that the City Council, as part of the two-year biennial budget cycle, review its compensation and consider increases in the Consumer Price Index for the region and increases in compensation awarded to staff since the previous adjustment to City Council compensation.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
During the presentation of the draft 2024-2026 Biennial Budget to the City Council on May 23, 2024, staff reported the combined annual increases for 2023 and 2024 in the Consumer Price Index totaled seven and seven-tenths percent (7.7%). Staff compensation increased six percent (6%) over the same two-year period. The cost of a 6% salary increase to the total compensation for the Mayor and City Councilmembers is $12,073.64 for the period of January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. After presentation of this information, City Council directed staff to include a six percent (6%) salary increase for the Mayor and Councilmembers in the final 2024-2026 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan.

Packet Page No. 1625
To effect the salary increases, Chapter 2.09 of the Newark Municipal Code must be amended. A draft ordinance has been prepared that would, starting January 1, 2025, increase the monthly salary of Councilmembers from $1,371 to $1,453. The Mayor's monthly salary would increase from $2,999 to $3,179. There are no other proposed revisions.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action, as the six percent salary increase was included in the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget approved by City Council on June 27, 2024.
