4.1 Sellers Avenue Subdivision 9614 Rezone (RZ 01-22), Vesting Tentative Map (TM 01-22), Final Development Plan (FDP 01-22), Design Review (DR 01-22) and adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration finding that this project, with mitigations, would not require the adoption of an Environmental Impact Report (Ken Strelo, Planning Manager)
Dr. Fuller recused himself and left the Council Chambers.
Planning Manager Ken Strelo presented the staff report.
Mayor Meadows inquired why the streets changed from private to public and Mr. Strelo explained there was less parking with private streets, there is room to adjust lot sizes better with public streets, it would provide for the park to be public as there are no other parks nearby, and there was no proposal for this to be a gated community.
Vice Mayor Williams inquired if the property has ever been zoned agricultural (ag) or if it has always been this proposed density and Mr. Strelo explained it could have been ag prior to incorporation, but in 2002 the City of Oakley 2020 General Plan set forth the land use designation and this property has not changed land use since that time. He further explained zoning and the General Plan must match, and the General Plan sets zoning, not the other way around.
Mayor Meadows opened the public hearing.
Applicant Kevin Freyer with Meritage discussed the changes they have made to the project.
Online public comments were submitted by John de Fremery and Tanya Reisinger and made part of the meeting record.
Mr. Strelo clarified from his staff report this is the first reading and introduction of the ordinance.
Erin Mathias requested single-story homes along Sellers and bushes at exit points for privacy.
Andrew Mathias expressed concerns about trash, traffic, speed, lack of infrastructure and road conditions.
Vince Granberg expressed concerns regarding traffic, speed, the stability of the railroad tracks with its proximity to water, and he addressed the Baldocchi property annexation and related ag easement.
Laurie Seeno expressed concerns regarding safety, traffic, and road conditions. She suggested a stop sign and/or to reduce the speed limit.
Mayor Meadows closed the public hearing.
Vice Mayor Williams asked staff to address traffic mitigation during construction and thereafter and Mr. Strelo explained that peak hours are based on the number of units in 10 a project, all projects are treated fairly and under the same thresholds in the industry, setting speeds on roads requires a speed survey, and he would not recommend it be conditioned for this project as they would not be able to make findings that this project would be responsible for speed. He discussed a mitigation measure for the truck route.
Vice Mayor Williams inquired what developers are doing to mitigate how new property owners moving near County ag property would handle living near it as well as the ag property owners handling new property owners moving near ag land. Mr. Strelo explained there are disclosure requirements for developers. Mayor Meadows added that buyers sign a right to farm disclosure.
Vice Mayor Williams inquired if single-story homes can be on Sellers as well as the privacy bushes requested by Ms. Mathias and Mr. Strelo responded that staff would not condition the developer to install bushes on private property, but the developer could agree to it, and one-story homes seem feasible, although it would create a cluster.
Ms. Mathias explained they are requesting the bushes in the space between the fence and easement.
Councilmember Shaw commented that traffic analysis can sometimes increase speed.
She asked staff to discuss the developer’s dedication of 2.35 acres of land for the future Laurel Road extension and Mr. Strelo discussed the extension project and dedication.
She expressed appreciation for the collaboration of the developer.
Councilmember Henderson requested clarification if the west lane on Sellers is City property, if the east lane is unincorporated, and Mr. Strelo explained he is not certain, but usually in these circumstances, the right-of-way would be with the City.
Mr. Strelo also responded to a previous comment and verified that the buffer discussed with the previous westerly annexation only applies to the new City limit line south of Cypress, east of Sellers, and west of Knightsen.
Vice Mayor Williams asked staff to explain why the City can’t start the road extension today and build roads first and Mr. Strelo explained the improvements are done with development, mostly by developers. Public Works Director/City Engineer Kevin Rohani added that this developer is giving the largest portion of the right-of-way and they will work with landowners for the rest. He mentioned over the past two years, the City has spent substantial time and money to maintain Sellers, from Delta to E. Cypress.
Mr. Freyer commented that he thinks they can accommodate single-story homes on Sellers and will connect with the property owners regarding bushes for privacy and possibly a construction fence for potential trash.
Vice Mayor Williams echoed what Councilmember Shaw said; she appreciates the concessions the developer is willing to make. She shared she was wavering on it, but these were always meant to be homes, the developer is making concessions, and this is not a density increase.
It was moved by Councilmember Shaw and seconded by Councilmember Henderson to waive the first reading and introduce the proposed ordinance for Rezone. AYES:
Henderson, Meadows, Shaw, Williams. ABSTENTION: Fuller. (4-0-1). 11 It was moved by Councilmember Henderson and seconded by Councilmember Shaw to adopt the proposed resolution, including adoption of the initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration that also applies to Rezone entitlement. AYES: Henderson, Meadows, Shaw, Williams. ABSTENTION: Fuller. (4-0-1).
Mayor Meadows called for a brief recess at 7:46 p.m. The City Council reconvened at 7:51 p.m.
4.2 Proposed Resolution Revising Fees in the City's Master Fee Schedule for Rental of Fields, Group Picnic Areas, and the Oakley Recreation Center by Oakley Based Businesses (Tim Przybyla, Finance Director)
Finance Director Tim Przybyla presented the staff report and requested a correction to the proposed resolution to reflect September 11 rather than July 11 as the effective date of the fees.
Vice Mayor Williams requested to reduce the Recreation Center kitchen rental fee for Oakley residents and staff indicated that options could be brought back on a future agenda.
Mayor Meadows opened the public hearing and called for public comment. There being none, he closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Vice Mayor Williams and seconded by Dr. Fuller to adopt the resolution as amended to reflect September 11 rather than July 11 as the effective date of the fees.
Motion was unanimous and so ordered. (5-0)
5) REGULAR CALENDAR
5.1 Annual Report of Military Equipment Usage-2022 (Paul Beard, Chief of Police) Chief of Police Paul Beard presented the staff report and provided a PowerPoint presentation. He announced a community meeting regarding Police military equipment will be held July 26th at 6:00 p.m. in the Oakley City Council Chambers.
Dr. Fuller commented his understanding is the equipment is approved through the Peace Officer’s Standards and Training (POST) and Oakley Police Officers receive training on how to use it which Chief Beard confirmed is correct and mentioned there are no POST guidelines for drones, therefore training is outsourced.
Dr. Fuller commented that staff is not making a capricious purchase but a wellresearched purchase and are using POST guidelines which Chief Beard confirmed is correct.
Vice Mayor Williams inquired if drone footage can be used to monitor and fine illegal fireworks and Chief Beard confirmed Police can use drones to record fireworks, and they can use drone footage to process a report and fine.
No public comments were submitted.
Dr. Fuller commented that “military equipment” is the term used but the equipment has been adapted for police use; it is a valuable tool to save officer and civilian life. 12 It was moved by Councilmember Henderson and seconded by Dr. Fuller to accept the report. Motion was unanimous and so ordered. (5-0)
5.2 Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Urban Field Studio for the Library and O’Hara Residential Projects Design and Economic Feasibility Analysis and appropriating American Rescue Plan Act funds for the project (Joshua McMurray, City Manager)
City Manager Joshua McMurray presented the staff report.
No public comments were submitted.
Vice Mayor Williams inquired if the Council would need to approve an option today and Mr. McMurray confirmed it would and staff is recommending both.
It was moved by Vice Mayor Williams and seconded by Councilmember Fuller to adopt the resolution approving both options. Motion was unanimous and so ordered. (5-0)
5.3 Authorization to Execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement with R&R Pacific Construction, Inc. for 0.90 Acres of APN 037-160-018 (Joshua McMurray, City Manager)
City Manager Joshua McMurray presented the staff report and provided a PowerPoint presentation.
Dr. Fuller inquired if there is any reason why they can’t table the item until after the Downtown Specific Plan has been reviewed by the community and approved. Mr.
McMurray responded there is not, but there is momentum in the Downtown and they have a private investment, continuing with the mercantile building, and have a proposal from an experienced developer who can produce what they say they can do and that is real and tangible. He shared that staff will bring an analysis forward in October or November.
Mayor Meadows inquired when the Downtown Specific Plan is coming forward and Mr.
McMurray responded it would be mid-2024.
Councilmember Shaw inquired if it would make most sense to do this now with utilities and construction happening which Director of Public Works/City Engineer Kevin Rohani confirmed it would.
Vice Mayor Williams commented that she is a fan of mixed use and wants to keep the Downtown momentum going for economic development. She inquired if parking will be addressed during the design review and if there are other opportunities for mixed use and Mr. McMurray confirmed an application would have to be submitted and go through at least Planning Commission review and mixed use is allowed now in certain areas of the Downtown.
No public comments were submitted.
Councilmember Shaw commented she is also a fan of mixed use, it would be unique to the Downtown, and it would provide residents with the train platform nearby and walkability.
13 Dr. Fuller commented it has been 2 ½ years that he has been requesting the Downtown Specific Plan and he is concerned they are turning their back on the city; they are moving forward here to say this looks good when residents haven’t had an opportunity to speak to the Downtown Specific Plan and this may open the door to the next project. He mentioned he sees no reason to have to approve it tonight; it seems the cart is in front of the horse with R & R. He requested the item be tabled until the Downtown Specific Plan is reviewed and approved.
Vice Mayor Williams inquired if approving the sale would lock the Council into anything or if everything must still come before the Council and Mr. McMurray explained the entitlement requires staff review and presentation to the Planning Commission and approval by the Planning Commission.
Mayor Meadows inquired if it goes to the Planning Commission but not the City Council and Mr. McMurray confirmed that is correct, but if the Council wants to call up an item, it can within the provisions of the municipal code.
Vice Mayor Williams mentioned she has not seen public comment regarding this item in relation to the Downtown Specific Plan nor does she recall receiving any public comment regarding the Downtown Specific Plan.
Councilmember Shaw mentioned while residents have not submitted comments on this item, they have shared that they want more restaurants and businesses and more Downtown and halting progress is not a benefit to the city or its residents; this potentially brings restaurants, housing, tax revenue, and something unique to Oakley.
It was moved by Dr. Fuller to table the item until the first meeting after the Downtown Specific Plan is reviewed and approved by the City Council. The motion died for lack of a second.
Mayor Meadows commented he believes the project as envisioned currently is good for the Downtown, there is momentum going; however, the price is low and fill needs to be on the site, but he will vote for it since the benefits outweigh that for the Downtown.
It was moved by Councilmember Shaw and seconded by Vice Mayor Williams to adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
AYES: Henderson, Meadows, Shaw, Williams. NOES: Fuller. (4-1). 6) REPORTS
6.1 CITY MANAGER
(a) City Manager
City Manager Joshua McMurray thanked staff for their work at Summer Fest held July 1.
He announced next Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in the Oakley City Council Chambers a second community meeting will be held regarding the 55-acre park, the Retro Summer Block party will be held July 29 at 6:00 p.m. at Civic Center Plaza, Friday Night Bites and a concert with be held August 4 at 5:00 p.m. at Civic Center Plaza, and the Annual Kids Fishing Derby will be held at the Oakley/Antioch Pier August 12 at 8:00 a.m. 14 (b) Results of the Marsh Creek Pedestrian Bridge Survey Mr. McMurray shared that 78.9% of people surveyed support replacing the current bridge with a longer bridge in a different location; plans should be finished by the end of this year, and then they will seek funding for the implementation phase of that project. (c) KOA/Tyler Presentation
Holly Sitton Orognen, PMP, CCP, PSMI, Project Manager with Koa Hills Consulting, provided a PowerPoint presentation.
Dr. Fuller inquired how she envisions the project changing priorities and requested she share what she has experienced.
Ms. Sitton Orognen mentioned the project might take the City Manager and Finance Director away from project meetings, for example, where there may need to be creative allocation.
Dr. Fuller inquired if her example is referring to Mammoth and Ms. Sitton Orognen replied “no”. He thanked her for recognizing finances.
Vice Mayor Williams inquired if the Council would receive regular status updates. Mr.
McMurray mentioned the Council will receive updates when the project hits critical milestones and Ms. Sitton Orognen added they can view the dashboard for progress and anything overdue.
(d) Fireworks Update
Chief of Police Paul Beard provided an update. He mentioned he had 4 officers from June 30-July 4 on overtime in 2-4 patrol cars, depending on if they rode solo or doubled up. He shared that he conveyed to the officers his experience from previous years and the focus of having no fireworks. He mentioned state-wide that it fell apart. He shared that the worst year in memory was April-October 2021 for fireworks season, and years prior to, Oakley has proven to be a community that loves fireworks. He shared his personal experience of patrolling in previous years, chasing fireworks and getting trapped in small geographical areas. He mentioned he needs to do a better job to educate officers how to better address firework enforcement and drones can also help.
He mentioned the Police Department has gone on record to say fireworks are hazardous for pets and veterans, there is a lot of data to support that, as residents can lose animals trying to escape fireworks. He added that they have adopted a zero-tolerance policy and ran an educational program from June 9-29 through social media with an open notice and passed out the same notice in communities. He mentioned the educational period ended June 29 and June 30-July 4, officers cited or wrote reports for admin citations. He shared they had a slow lead up to July 4, but on July 4 it was full on; they had some weekend admin cites, but on July 4 calls for service were abundant and worse than last year. He mentioned statistically fireworks are underreported because historically people are placed on hold from dispatch to get to health and safety calls or nothing happens because an officer never shows up because officers are bouncing from block to block.
He shared that they had 84 calls last year and 94 calls this year (over 5 days) and there were 60 fires County-wide between July 4-July 5. He mentioned Pittsburg hosted fireworks and Brentwood hosted a drone show and it didn’t reduce their illegal fireworks shows; Brentwood in 72 hours had 89 calls, Pittsburg had 174 calls over 5 days (112 15 calls coming in between July 4-July 5). He mentioned they processed 6-7 cases of admin cites. He shared that they will apply current experiences to future strategy.
Vice Mayor Williams shared that there have been comments that if Oakley would just bring back legal fireworks show all illegal fireworks wouldn’t happen, but data shows no correlation. She inquired what it would take to put on a safe show and where that might be held.
Chief Beard commented he will apply current experiences to future operations. He mentioned there was a time when fireworks shows were safe, when there was law and order, but until the state and society have sense of what law and order really is; any public event runs the risk of being a disaster. He shared that he doesn’t want to cower from criminals, withhold services, or withhold good times, but Police needs to take a measured response to what they do for the community. He mentioned the basin is not an ideal location because there are a concentrated number of people in a bowl and the future 55-acre park is probably not an ideal location for ingress/egress. He mentioned if they host fireworks, he must dedicate a certain number of Police services to make sure it is a safe environment, but they would still need a lot of Police to chase down illegal fireworks in neighborhoods; it takes a lot of resources. He indicated the special services team will be tasked with fireworks suppression next year.
Councilmember Shaw commented that historically fireworks haven’t been on July 4 in Oakley so Oakley will still get illegal fireworks on July 4. She mentioned she would like stricter fines and suggested a local tip line.
Chief Beard commented that the tip line went to County dispatch that was serving many different entities that night.
Councilmember Shaw commented that many people don’t report fireworks; some think because it is happening near water at the park there is no harm, but winds pick up. She showed remnants of a firework that landed on her neighbor’s roof. She shared people were shooting fireworks at one another in her neighborhood, she had Police response at her house, and the crowd dispersed. She mentioned she would like to see drones and stricter fines and if that doesn’t work possibly a reward system for reporting when a call leads to an actual fine, having part of that fine go to the reporting party.
Dr. Fuller asked what Chief Beard’s response was to Vice Mayor Williams.
Chief Beard commented that law and order in society is lacking so they can’t expect society to act accordingly.
Dr. Fuller commented that fireworks have drastically improved since 2020 when they began in April and went through October. He thanked Chief Beard for applying his professional expertise and keeping the city safe.

16 6.2 OAKLEY CITY COUNCIL/OAKLEY CITY COUNCIL ACTING AS THE SUCCESSOR
AGENCY TO THE OAKLEY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
(a) Reports from Council Liaisons to Regional Committees, Commissions and Boards AND Oakley City Council/Oakley City Council Acting as the Successor Agency to the Oakley Redevelopment Agency
Councilmember Henderson reported he attended the Diablo Water District Board meeting June 14, the Juneteenth event on June 17, Summer Fest on June 1, Friday Night Bites on June 7, and the swearing-in ceremony yesterday for the promotion of an officer to a sergeant position.
Vice Mayor Williams reported she attended the Tri-Delta Transit meeting where she sat her last meeting as chair since the chair position rotates and discussion points at that meeting included budget, zero emissions capital funds project was funded, a transportation task force will be in place January 2024 to focus policy and better track funding, and they received positive follow up on dynamic personal micro transit (a closed system with a fixed guideway with private seating on demand to move people more efficiently). She mentioned they did a fair/equity analysis because paratransit riders were not able to use Clipper for a period because the app phased out, and because of elimination of the mobile app, it disproportionality impacts the low-income riders so they are working toward correcting that. She shared Tri-Delta was dropped by State Farm Insurance because they no longer insure in California and 21 other providers would not accept them, and the risk pool that agreed to insure them has increased costs. She announced National Night Out is August 1st and requested social media outreach for the event.
Dr. Fuller reported he attended “Dance Around the World” hosted by the Oakley Library with use of ARPA funds, and he attended the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) meeting.
Councilmember Shaw reported she attended Oakley’s Juneteenth event and she appreciates Assemblymember Wilson attending and the work of staff. She also reported she attended the East Bay Regional Park District meeting at Big Break on June 20, the “Dance Around the World” event, the Tri-Delta Transit meeting, the Delta Association of Realtors local elected event, the CalCities’ Bocce event on June 29, Summer Fest on June 1, Antioch Unified School District’s College and Career Expo yesterday, and the swearing-in ceremony yesterday for the promotion of an officer to a sergeant position.
Mayor Meadows reported he attended TRANSPLAN, HWY 4 Bypass Authority, ECCRFA, CCTA meetings, Juneteenth, the swearing-in ceremony for the promotion of an officer to a sergeant position, the Delta Association of Realtors event, and the Mayors Conference in Moraga where he suggested they all receive autographed copies of the Constitution which Senator Mark Desaulnier provided. Mayor Meadows passed them out to the Council.
(b) Requests for Future Agendas
Councilmember Shaw requested a report on fireworks, fines, and what the City can do. It was supported by Vice Mayor Williams.
Mayor Meadows called for a brief recess at 9:36 p.m. The City Council reconvened at 9:45 p.m.
17 7) WORK SESSIONS
7.1 Work Session to Discuss AB 1657 and Recent General Assembly of the Association of Bay Area Governments (Derek Cole, City Attorney) City Attorney Derek Cole presented the staff report and requested Dr. Fuller proceed with leading the discussion as he requested the item.
Dr. Fuller mentioned in 2022, during a Bay Area Association of Governments (ABAG) meeting, Mayor Jesse Arreguin from Berkeley (ABAG President) mentioned the Residential Housing Numbers Assessment (RHNA) is exorbitant in Berkeley where they have 8900 units required. He shared in comparison Oakley has done a good job because it has incorporated housing for everyone over the years and only has 479 units required. He mentioned Oakland is in the 5-digit numbers for required units and others were seriously complaining about their RHNA allocation. He commented that Arreguin mentioned they were putting together a bond measure so that they can build affordable housing in open areas, meaning East Contra Costa County, East Alameda County, and South Santa Clara County, which is primarily agricultural, because they don’t have any more room. He shared that he took that as “not in my backyard, we have a great idea for you to do”. He mentioned he brought this up during the last Council meeting. He shared that prior to the 2023 ABAG meeting in San Francisco, CalCities came out endorsing AB 1657 (Affordable Housing Bond Measure of 2024), a $10 billion bond issue to allocate state-wide affordable housing to be built and sections 54054(a)(b)(c) of the bill are very innocuous, indicating from time to time, the legislature can change the basis of allocation such as RHNA. He mentioned during the 2023 ABAG meeting, Mayor Arreguin supported the bond and announced they were putting together the Bay Area Housing Financing Authority (BAHFA) that is made by the executive committee to help finance getting AB 1657 passed. He mentioned the speaker after Arreguin supported it because the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has the legislature convinced the RHNA allocations are all wrong so the RHNA allocations should be redone which would totally negate what Oakley is doing. He mentioned this legislation is leading to the loss of local control. He shared that SB 555 is to form a 2024 Housing Authority via the state to help allocate the money and determine where it goes. He mentioned AB 1657 provides $925 million to Contra Costa County. Mayor Meadows corrected him mentioning that is through BAHFA. Dr. Fuller mentioned his perception is that we are going to give money for affordable housing and the counties or state can designate where the money would go and the type of public housing. He expressed that he firmly opposes tax money going into public housing. He summarized that ABAG and BAHFA are attempting to reallocate RHNA numbers, and it is a discriminatory move as they are marginalizing people. He commented that Census numbers show Berkeley has had a migration out of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and an increase of its white population; their affordable housing might bring that back, but they are saying to move lower-income out of their backyard which marginalizes lower-income people and is a discriminatory move. He mentioned that reallocating RHNA would negate all the work the City has done and allows the County to put buildings in wherever they want, MTC is coming with it which Mayor Meadows might have something to do with it, it is state money, say more tax money, and BAHFA would create a regional vote; with population centers along the coast, we would lose local control. He expressed that he would like to see a letter of opposition.
18 Mayor Meadows agreed and mentioned during the last Mayors Conference, there was a BAHFA presentation and there would be $925 million coming into Contra Costa County if it is a $10 billion bond; they are polling to possibly increase it $10-$20 billion for the 9 Bay Area counties. He mentioned he has an issue with that because it is put back onto parcel tax so we’re paying for it. He shared that they sat next to the PIO for BART who mentioned he lives in Berkeley, and it hasn’t grown in decades. He commented Oakley has grown a lot in the past few decades because a lot of that growth is pushed out to us.
He mentioned the big cities have all the jobs but do not do a good job of providing housing and the people who work those jobs get pushed out and commute back and we don’t have the transportation to make that work. He shared he is pro-housing, but he is opposed to cramming this down on Oakley. He added that Oakley takes care of its issues and Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco need to take care of their issues. He mentioned that Oakley’s problem is that it doesn’t have the votes; the votes sit on the peninsula which is the same in Southern California. He commented he would support a letter of opposition to AB 1657 and potentially to ABAG stating they don’t want this crammed down on Oakley. He mentioned San Francisco needs to step up and provide housing.
Vice Mayor Williams commented she is not seeing in the legislation where it says that another city can allocate housing to another city. She corrected the record to indicate that Oakley has not done a great job in providing affordable housing; Oakley is making changes to make it happen, but the reason Oakley’s RHNA numbers are so low is because of how it is allocated. She mentioned in the last couple of housing cycles affordable housing has not been built and Oakley is correcting that now but Oakley has put all of its affordable housing on places that cannot be developed and that is why the legislation has had to come down. She mentioned the legislation talks about transitoriented community policies and Oakley is not yet transit-oriented so it looks to her like the legislation is trying to put housing where transit is easily accessible and that would apply first to the bigger cities. She mentioned she doesn’t agree with how RHNA numbers are allocated, but that is a separate discussion from this legislation. She mentioned Mayor Meadows brings up a fair point that San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose have the jobs and we don’t have the jobs.
Mayor Meadows commented that is the point, Oakley doesn’t have the jobs so it shouldn’t have the housing.
Vice Mayor Williams mentioned Oakley’s workforce needs housing to live.
Mayor Meadows indicated Oakley doesn’t have a workforce; San Francisco has a workforce and doesn’t provide the housing; Oakley has housing but doesn’t have the workforce.
Vice Mayor Williams inquired if Oakley residents who have jobs in San Francisco should not live here anymore, but rather live in San Francisco.
Mayor Meadows explained he is not trying to tell them to move but that doesn’t mean that we have to bring more housing to Oakley to exasperate that problem because that is what this legislation would be doing. He mentioned if Oakley is going to provide the housing, San Francisco needs to export the jobs here too. He mentioned they cannot have no low-income housing but all of the high-end jobs and all of the people who work service jobs there have to commute in. He mentioned he is not against housing, but he is against poor planning on big cities’ part. He shared that he sits here now addressing this issue, but it is not new; his father sat on LAFCO addressing the same issue with 19 Lafayette who still doesn’t want to do its part. He mentioned Moraga has higher RHNA numbers than Oakley because they don’t do anything. He mentioned Oakley has its fair share of low-income housing built over approximately a 15-year period and there was low-income housing here in the 1970s. He mentioned our neighbors in other counties need to step up and do their fair share and Oakley’s numbers are low because it had done its fair share which he believes is the lowest in the County. He mentioned we need jobs, and they need housing.
Vice Mayor Williams agreed there should be stricter enforcement for not providing housing but expressed that she doesn’t see how this legislation encourages moving people out; there are other policies encouraging it.
Dr. Fuller commented that the numbers are 479 units for Oakley for this cycle but in the previous cycle it was over 500 and Oakley has done its share in all categories; he believes Oakley is the least in the County for very-low-income housing requirement (279 units) as a result of what the City has been doing. He mentioned the City has a varied workforce and varied population and has put it together. He shared he believes they came up with a plan that enhanced equity, diversity and inclusion that they were not going to build public projects but move it around, so everyone is in an equitable spot, not just because they were low-income or in a demographic spot, and Berkeley and Oakland did not. He mentioned the same happened in Los Angeles, they had officers that worked in Los Angeles that lived in Victorville because housing was affordable there, and with a 90 minute trip each way, after 5 years either the officer was divorced and moved back in or the officer quit and went to work for an agency in the outer areas; even modification of work schedule to 3 12-hour shifts did not retain them. He agreed with Mayor Meadows that they like the workforce but don’t provide the housing and now this is a way to get out from underneath it. He mentioned he wishes they had the recording so they could hear the discourse, rhetoric, and the speaker’s excitement that they were going to get under these unheard of RHNA numbers and they were going to go out to open areas that would marginalize people. He expressed that he wants to see an equitable distribution of affordable housing across all demographic and socioeconomic statuses.
City Manager Joshua McMurray commented that his concern regarding the legislation and bond is that land in far East County is cheaper and developers know they need to rezone a substantial amount of land. He mentioned the money closes the gap and opens resources that are not available now to get these projects constructed which will be far easier in East County than in Central or West County and other parts of the Bay Area.
He mentioned he understands Vice Mayor Williams comments in terms of looking at the City’s annual progress report and RHNA numbers, but the state and surrounding communities think Oakley has done a good job to address RHNA requirements within this small community which is part of why the RHNA numbers are down. He shared over a decade ago there was a push by ABAG to establish priority development areas (PDAs) in cities and the purpose was to centralize development around services, transit, and jobs. He mentioned the City wanted to have PDA designation because it would open up access to funding it would not otherwise have access to. He shared that the emphasis was not to incentivize affordable housing development but to install infrastructure for development to try to fix the jobs/housing imbalance. He mentioned that it in turn hurt the City because it had too much PDA areas, one being on the west side of the City near the Logistics Center. He shared that ABAG began to come out with new terminology to address jobs and industry, so they began calling areas priority production areas (PPAs) and staff proactively went to ABAG and requested the City’s PDAs be changed to PPAs and he believes that is one of the biggest influencers in the RHNA allocation in this cycle. He mentioned the City took out hundreds of acres that ABAG believed was prime 20 for housing, but the City knew in reality, the housing would never be constructed. He mentioned it is a combination of the City doing a decent job in producing affordable housing given that the City doesn’t have an in-lieu fee or funds to subsidize housing which is needed to construct affordable housing. He asked the Council to keep in mind the history and that the methodology changes with each cycle which is established by a committee if they want to consider being part of that in the next cycle.
Councilmember Shaw requested someone show her where it says in the legislation that they can move RHNA allocations to Oakley to be in good conscious to understand it if she is going to oppose it. She shared she is involved in construction of low-income subsidized housing and being BIPOC is still weighted in the application process to receive federal subsidies which she deals with on a regular basis and the projects can’t really be built without the subsidies. She shared that HUD no longer funds these projects, so funding occurs through tax credits and local attorney groups. She mentioned if this passes, maybe the City can try to find a loophole to get funding for some properties.
Dr. Fuller commented he does not believe the 2022 transcript was provided, but it was mentioned in the President’s Report in the June 17, 2022, ABAG General Assembly. He suggested the Council can visit ABAG.ca.gov and go to past meetings, find the meeting, and listen to Arreguin say they need to be able to move it into open space. He mentioned in the 2023 ABAG meeting, they can listen to Arreguin say the executive committee runs ABAG, the General Assembly does not, and they put together BAHFA.
He mentioned the woman that speaks after Arreguin (identified as “speaker” on the transcript) provides the direction they are trying to go. He mentioned with proposed legislation by Assemblymember Wicks (Oakland) AB 1657 and Senator Wahab (San Jose) SB 555, geographically these bills are cut off at the coastal region, and agricultural areas would be impacted; it would provide BAHFA $2 billion to spend as it sees fit.
Mayor Meadows corrected him to state $2-$4 billion (20% of bond proceeds). He mentioned developers will get behind it because funding will be available.
Councilmember Shaw commented that the transcript he included is from the 2023 meeting and the bill is proposed for May 2024. She mentioned she would like time to research the 2022 meeting.
Dr. Fuller mentioned the legislature’s recess begins July 14 and it reconvenes August 14 and the committees will begin considering bills; by September 8, bills must come out of committee for floor vote which occurs 3-4 days afterward, so they have until about September 14. If they are going to write a letter to oppose it, it should be done now, by July 25, and sent before the legislative recess to CalCities, Assemblymember Wilson, Senator Glazer, and the Contra Costa Mayors Conference.
Councilmember Henderson expressed concern that it may be premature to submit a letter without the final bill language to know what they are opposing.
Dr. Fuller mentioned his hope is that the letter is there before it is in the committee because if there is going to be a change to the language of the bill, it can occur on the floor, but seldom does, so it will likely occur in the committee. He mentioned he would like the letter to say not that they are opposed to $10 billion for affordable housing, but that they oppose loss of local control, oppose the opportunity for the Senate and Assembly to change RHNA numbers, and oppose state allocation of the $10 billion. He mentioned if they came out of session with that statement it would be much better. He mentioned in response to Councilmember Henderson, he hopes it will be amended in 21 the committee. He commented that the legislature starts August 14; although the legislature is on recess prior to then, there could be some talk during the recess.
Councilmember Henderson requested clarification if they are opposing the $10-$20 billion bond or where and how they allocate it. He suggested they be clear on what they are opposing.
Mayor Meadows commented that he believes Dr. Fuller is suggesting they oppose state legislation, but not the bond measures at this time because they don’t know with certainty if there will be bond measures.
Dr. Fuller commented he is opposed to the way the bill is written now and asked Mr.
McMurray for his input on how they might best word it to express their opposition.
City Manager Joshua McMurray commented that he is hearing that the Council is not opposing housing or affordable housing, but it is opposing the loss of local control; however, he is not sure he has heard full consensus on direction. He mentioned staff is happy to write a letter; staff just needs to know what the content will be.
Dr. Fuller expressed concern regarding Section 54054(a)(b)(c), which allows the legislature to change the requirements that go into RHNA allocations. He proposed they include the City of Oakley is opposed to any loss of local control or the RHNA numbers with the passage of AB 1657 or any other legislation, and if bond money is passed, its allocation should be through municipal government rather than a state-wide housing authority.
Mayor Meadows also expressed concern with a state-wide housing authority.
Vice Mayor Williams commented that they should have pulled up the letter regarding SB 5 and SB 10 because she feels like the issue here is the affordable matter and those bills took a direct hit on local control with no affordable component; it was for developers to put stuff where they want to put stuff. She added here, at least there is an affordable component and that is why she is struggling a bit with it. She mentioned local control is important and she doesn’t see in the bill or transcript where it says they won’t have local control and as Councilmember Henderson indicated, they have not provided clear direction on what they are opposing. She mentioned if they want to send a letter to oppose giving up local control, it may go unheard, but it’s always good to reiterate it, but she gets nervous if it is opposing affordable housing when there is so much to be done with it. She mentioned 91% of Oakley’s products being single-family homes is not affordable to our kids; varied products are needed, including apartments and condos.
She mentioned the bill is so tied to affordable housing and they are talking about opposing it which gives her pause. She mentioned she is in favor of providing a letter stating they want to maintain local control, but she doesn’t see it in the context of this legislation, and they need more time to research.
Mayor Meadows commented that SB 9 was a showcase by Senator Atkins to show she was doing something for housing, but it is not for developers because it is not feasible for developers and in his opinion, very few units will be built in California under SB 9.
Councilmember Shaw commented that federal and state funding is very important for low-income housing. She expressed support for a letter that states they are not opposed to a bond or low-income housing, but they want the control to be local even without having to go back and look at the 2022 ABAG General Assembly transcript. She 22 mentioned she does not want to send a letter to oppose it completely without having time to research it. She added that she understands the timing and appreciates it. She mentioned she is fine with a letter now stating they support funding for affordable housing if they have local control of it and when it comes out of committee, they can send a stronger letter if needed.
Dr. Fuller commented that two of them have listened to what is being said, he has gone to ABAG and Mayor Meadows has listened to BAHFA, and after hearing the rhetoric and discourse, they have concluded that this bill will injure Oakley with its RHNA numbers, allocation of resources, and affordable housing. He mentioned the ABAG recording is not on MP4 so he doesn’t have the resources to cut it neatly, and he doesn’t know if the City does, but would encourage the Council to listen to the section and the same with BAHFA’s presentation given at the Mayors Conference. He mentioned Mayor Arreguin is saying to send letters to ABAG, and a couple of small cities are already standing up to say they cannot have an increase in RHNA numbers because they will not have room for commercial development which provides sales tax/revenue for the City, but he sees urgency with the letter because the legislative is coming to a close and this bill is likely to get signed by the Governor if passed. He asked staff to get the videos he mentioned, and Mr. McMurray responded that he is not sure if staff has the capability to get the videos, but staff will look into it.
Anthony Meadows commented that it appears there is consensus that no one is opposed to low-income housing, but the problem lies that Oakley hasn’t met all its RHNA numbers but no one else has either. He mentioned instead of Berkeley doing something about it like Oakley, they are just trying to push it all on us. He mentioned there is a loss of local control but there is also a loss of local accountability and that is what needs to be addressed, not low-income housing.
Direction was provided to staff to prepare a letter for Mayor Meadows to sign strongly in favor of maintaining local control in relation to AB 1657 to send to the agencies that Dr.
Fuller mentioned--also including ABAG, monitor the bill over the next couple of months, and provide an update to the Council on August 8.
Dr. Fuller shared that the ABAG housing committee meets tomorrow and BAHFA meets in the next couple of days; he will watch those meetings and report back. He mentioned the committees carry a tremendous amount of weight in ABAG. 8) CLOSED SESSION
Mayor Meadows announced the closed session item and after closed session, the meeting would be adjourned, and the next regular meeting will be held August 8, 2023, at 6:30pm in the Oakley City Council Chambers.

Public Comments
An online public comment was submitted by Meghan Bourgeois and made part of the meeting record.
John Cain, Senior Conservation Director with River Partners shared that they have done the planting on the Dutch Slough project. He mentioned he has been involved with the project since 25 1998 and he is very happy the City is planning and he and his organization are interested in helping the City find funding. He suggested the City think about regional amenities to get state and federal funding for a local park. He also suggested the City integrate the project into the Dutch Slough restoration site to show it is integrated. He mentioned UC Davis has determined the site has more plant and animal wildlife than any other site on the Delta so it is a unique resource and the more the City can show the site is compatible to the Dutch Slough restoration project, it may have more opportunity for funding. He asked the Council to consider how to phase it as it is hard to get $15 million at once; he would like to work with everyone to get the trail open around the Dutch Slough project.
Katie Bandy, Dutch Slough Project Manager with the Department of Water Resources (DWR) echoed comments made by Mr. Cain. She extended support to work with the City. She mentioned when the site was acquired by DWR from coastal conservancy funding, it included the 55-acre park and highlighted shoreline access and while the park has been through many reiterations, the Dutch Slough project is complete, and they should do their best with the investment the state has already made. She suggested with grant funding a good way to start is with the trails and then a phased approach.
Jimmy Ramirez, Planning Commissioner, mentioned he learned about pollution in 3rd grade at Oakley Elementary and had the most incredible environmental education here in Oakley. He shared that native peoples were always spoken of as people of the past, not the present, and coming home from class and knowing his family was indigenous was jolting. He expressed that he sees this park as an opportunity to honor the original indigenous people, as well as indigenous people today or in the future in Oakley.
Nick Cloutier commented he is a professional fisherman and is drawn to the outdoor recreation option. He shared that fishing tournaments bring 200-300 boats for 2 days that generate a lot of revenue for Oakley. He also shared that there are many private fishing opportunities in the area, but not public; this would be a place where kids could fish, and it would bring revenue. He shared that there are ball fields elsewhere in the City and this site provides a unique destination. 5) Adjourn

ORDINANCE NO. 7-23
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY APPROVING A REZONE TO AMEND AN EXISTING P-1 (PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT)
DISTRICT FOR THE PROJECT KNOWN AS SELLERS AVENUE SUBDIVISION 9614 (RZ 01-22) APN 033-150-013
FINDINGS
WHEREAS, on January 20, 2022, Paul Manyisha of MLC Holdings (“Applicant”) filed an application, which has since been amended, requesting approval of the following four entitlements (“Project”):
Rezone (RZ 01-22) to amend an existing P-1 District;
Vesting Tentative Map (TM 01-22) subdividing approximately 20.42 acres into 77 single residential lots, stormwater detention treatment area, and neighborhood park;
Final Development Plan (FDP 01-22) in conjunction with the project’s P-1 District; and
Design Review (DR 01-22) for floor plans and architecture, and conceptual landscape plans; and
WHEREAS, the proposed homes consist of two single-story and two two-story house plans each with three elevations. Floor plans range from 2,054 to 2,833 square feet of livable area; and
WHEREAS, the project site is located at 5911 Sellers Avenue and is zoned P-1 (Planned Unit Development) District. (APN: 033-150-013); and
WHEREAS, the proposal complies with the requirements of the rezoning application requirements of Section 2.4.012 (a) of the Oakley Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has initiated a project to amend an existing P-1 (Planned Unit Development) District that was originally approved in conjunction with Tentative Map 9016, which expired on May 10, 2016; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the City prepared a Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (“IS/MND”). The Notice of Intent (“NOI”) to Adopt an MND and IS was circulated for public review and comment from November 3, 2022 to December 5, 2022. It was filed with the County Clerk and Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (“OPR”), emailed or mailed out to over 60 public agencies and parties requesting such notice, and posted in the same 29 Ordinance No. 7-23 Page 2 of 4
manner as a Notice of Public hearing, which is at locations throughout the City and at the project site; and
WHEREAS, on or before June 30, 2023, the Notice of Public Hearing for the Project was duly noticed in the Contra Costa Times, a newspaper of general distribution, was posted at the Project site, at Oakley City Hall located at 3231 Main Street, outside the gym at Delta Vista Middle School located at 4901 Frank Hengel Way, and outside the library at Freedom High School located at 1050 Neroly Road, and was mailed out to all owners of property within a 500-foot radius of the project’s boundaries, to parties requesting such notice, and to outside agencies; and
WHEREAS, on July 11, 2023, the City Council adopted the Project’s CEQA IS/MND in conjunction with approval of the proposed Tentative Map (TM 01-22, Final Development Plan (FDP 01-22), and Design Review (DR 01-22).
The City Council of the City of Oakley does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings
A. Pursuant to Section 2.4.012 of the Oakley Municipal Code, the City Council of the City of Oakley hereby finds and determines as follows:
1. The change proposed will comply with the General Plan in that the proposed rezone to amend the existing P-1 District will not result in a use or density that is not in line with the underlying General Plan Land Use Designation of Residential Low (RL); and
2. The uses authorized or proposed in the land use district are compatible within the district and to uses authorized in adjacent districts in that the proposed Rezone does not necessarily change the existing zoning, only amends it due to the nature of the P-1 District being tied to a specific project, in this case an expire Tentative Map and Final Development Plan; and
3. Community need, but not necessarily future financial success, has been demonstrated for the use proposed in that the Project will result in the construction of additional housing units, which is necessary to meet demand in the community since the City of Oakley falls under the jurisdiction of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), and ABAG uses a predominately demographic formula to allocate the regional housing needs among the incorporated cities and unincorporated county. This process results in a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and the number reflected in that assessment becomes part the City of Oakley’s estimated housing needs. The development of this project will help the City meet its regional fair share housing goal.
30 Ordinance No. 7-23 Page 3 of 4
B. Pursuant to Section 9.1.1002 Planned Unit Development (P-1) of the Oakley Municipal Code, the City Council of the City of Oakley hereby finds and determines as follows:
1. The Applicant has stated they plan to pursue development of the site within wo years of the rezone becoming effective if market conditions support it; and

3. The type of development is expected to be desirable in that it includes a variety of home sizes and development includes an open space and pocket park. It falls somewhere in the middle of the density ranges of nearby residential neighborhoods; and
4. The development of a harmonious, integrated plan justifies exceptions from the normal application of the OMC due to the significant requirement for dedication of approximately 2.35 acres along Sellers Avenue and the future Laurel Road extension right of way, and use of approximately 2.76 acres for the stormwater detention/bioretention and pocket park. The P-1 District is justified to allow for project-specific development regulations in order to design a feasible project within the allowable range of the General Plan land use designation of RL.

TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Jeri Tejeda, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: City of Oakley Quarterly Investment Report (4th Quarter FY 2022/23) Background and Analysis
California law and the City’s Investment Policy require the City’s fiscal officer to submit a quarterly investment report to the City Council at the end of each quarter. The report should contain information on all securities held and include a statement denoting the ability of the local agency to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This agenda item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ goal for the City of Oakley to leverage its financial resources for the long-term benefit of our residents and businesses while maintaining sufficient reserves to provide stability and ensure a successful future.
Economy Update
The Inflation numbers in the last quarter are trending lower, however, it is expected to have two more rate hikes by the end of the year 2023. Which continues to be the focus of the markets, impacting personal consumption by deteriorating savings and balance sheets and increasing credit card balances. At this point, no one knows whether the US will lead to a recession or, if so, how significant the recession could be. However, the City of Oakley continues monitoring these changes closely to prepare for a downturn in the near future.
Fiscal Impact
City resources are organized and accounted for on a fund basis with some of those funds being restricted for specified uses and others that are unrestricted. For investment purposes, however, the funds are invested as a pool. The Investment Report for the Period Ending June 30, 2023, attached shows a combined pool balance of $99,198,106.80 In addition, the pool had combined 4th Quarter accrued interest earnings of $ compared 194,944.31 to $217,328.96 at the end of the 3rd Quarter.
Interest for the period reflects the rising rates currently being offered on safe investments, including LAIF’s short-term investments and the various types of investments that are being made through PFM, with terms of up to five years.
Approved and
Forwarded to the
City Council

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.CI.Oakley.CA.US Currently, with interest rates rising and the volatility of the markets, our investments will continue to show unrealized market losses. However, it is important to realize that those losses are on paper, and no losses will be “realized” if the investments are held to maturity. We will continue to earn the stated rate of interest at cost on the investments that we have purchased, which can be seen in the PFM investment report and averaged 1.48% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
The City is in compliance with the adopted investment policy and able to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council accept the investment report for the 4th Quarter of Fiscal Year 2022/23.

California Affiliated Risk Management Authorities Market Update ▸ The U.S. economy is characterized by:
▹ Headline inflation numbers trending lower, but the Fed’s current focus, “supercore inflation,” is showing little sign of slowing
▹ A labor market that has proven to be exceptionally strong ▹ A more optimistic sentiment around economic growth due to resilient consumer spending ▸ Fed temporarily pauses rate hikes
▹ The most aggressive series of interest rate hikes in recent history has come to a temporary pause in June
▹ The Fed’s most recent dot plot shows the potential for two additional rate hikes by the end of the year
▹ Rates have moved up due to the Fed’s rate trajectory shifting higher, the economy remaining stronger than expected, persistent inflation, and the market’s “higher-for-longer” mindset ▸ Bond markets see continued volatility
▹ The debt ceiling saga incited a separate spate of market volatility due to concern about a potential U.S. default
▹ After plummeting at the end of Q1 due to volatility in the banking sector, short and mediumterm yields steadily climbed throughout the quarter, with the 2-year rising over 100 basis points
▹ The curve inversion fell dramatically at the start of Q2, but moved toward historic levels in June

49 Fixed-Income Sector Commentary – 2Q 2023
▸ U.S. Treasuries: After plummeting at the end of Q1 due to volatility in the banking sector, short and mediumterm yields steadily climbed throughout the quarter, withthe 2-year rising over 100 basis points. ▸ Federal agency yield spreads tightened during the
quarter. Agency discount notes were favored over U.S.Treasury bills during the debt ceiling impasse; however,during Q1 value waned and callable spreads moved tothe tighter end of their historical range. ▸ Supranational issuance was heavier than usual in the
first couple months of the year which allowed spreads towiden and sporadic buying opportunities to arise. Assupply dried up, spreads narrowed and traded in a tightrange for the balance of the quarter. ▸ Investment-Grade Corporate spreads continued to
retrace from their Q1 wides but remained above longerterm averages. Following the “risk-on” theme in thelatter part of Q2, the IG curve flattened, resulting inlonger durations and lower quality (BBB) performingbest. Although the spread between financials andindustrials remained well above typical levels, financialsoutperformed in Q2 as retracement from theexceptionally wide spreads in Q1 was significant. ▸ Asset-Backed Security spreads also retraced from
mid-March wides, but not nearly to the extent as incorporates. Auto ABS issuance increased during Q2,which was a function of pent-up consumer demand. ▸ Mortgage-Backed Securities whipsawed in Q2 as a
steep tightening of spreads through the second half ofthe quarter more than offset the steady and consistentwidening through April. As a result, the sector generatedattractive excess returns for the quarter. Strong returnswere driven largely by the risk-on sentiment throughmuch of the quarter and a modest decline in supply dueto a drop in existing home sales and refinancings. ▸ Taxable Municipals issuance remained heavily
oversubscribed due to a lack of new issuance. Thesecondary market had sporadic but limited opportunitiesthat offered an attractive pickup versus industrialcorporates. ▸ Short-term credit (commercial paper and CDs) yields
increased during Q2 as the market repriced to actualFed rate increases and reduced expectations for Fedrate cuts in late 2023. Spreads in short credit remainedelevated and attractive for most of Q2 and addednotable incremental income to shorter-term portfoliosand liability-matching strategies inside of 12-monthmaturities.

Account Summary
1. Yield at market, yield on cost, and portfolio duration only include investments held within the separately managed account(s), excludes balances invested in overnight funds.
The current 7-day yield is the net change, exclusive of capital changes and income other than investment income, in the value of a hypothetical fund account with a balance of one share over the seven-day base period including the statement date, expressed as a percentage of the value of one share (normally $1.00 per share) at the beginning of the seven-day period. This resulting net change in account value is then annualized by multiplying it by 365 and dividing the result by 7. The yields quoted should not be considered a representation of the yield of the fund in the future, since the yield is not fixed.

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.CI.Oakley.CA.US As part of the FY 2023/24 budget process, funds were allocated for the purchase of a Ford F550 Diesel Super Duty truck for the Public Works Department.
Staff solicited quotes from truck dealers for the purchase of this vehicle and received only (2) two quotes as follows: Big Valley Ford Lincoln of Stockton at $107,957.64 and Bill Brandt Ford of Brentwood at $113,396.89. The other dealerships that were contacted did not have a vehicle similar to this one available for sale. The shortage of cars and trucks continues to impact all parts of society as shown in the availability of vehicles for sale. Staff investigated the option of ordering this a truck as a 2024 model, and its price would be higher, and the delivery date would pushed out to the fall of 2024. The lowest quote is from Big Valley Ford Lincoln of Stockton and this truck is available at the dealer’s lot and ready for purchase.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Finance and Fiscal Responsibility goals.
Fiscal Impact
The purchase of this truck is funded from the General Fund’s Parks Department which has $105,000 budgeted for this truck. The other roughly $3,000 that will be needed for the purchase will be transferred from within the General Fund’s Parks Department vehicle maintenance budget. This new truck will be used in daily street and park maintenance services.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council Adopt the Resolution approving the purchase of the 2023 Ford F550 4WD Diesel Super Duty truck with a dump bed from Big Valley Ford Lincoln of Stockton and authorize the City’s Purchasing Agent to complete the purchase process.

FROM: Kevin Rohani, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Agreement with Mark Thomas & Co. Inc. for Engineering Design Services associated with Bridgehead Road Widening (Railroad Tracks to Main Street) Capital Improvement Project Number 300
Background and Analysis
Bridgehead Road is the major roadway corridor for access to the Oakley Logistics Center that not only serves the Oakley residents but also regional customers that use this roadway to access the Oakley Logistics Center from Highway 160. This roadway carries all the delivery trucks and customer vehicles that go to the Oakley Logistics Center.
Bridgehead Road was constructed by Contra Costa County decades ago as a twolane roadway serving the marina at the end of this road and has stayed the same for many years. The development of the Oakley Logistics Center has brought much needed vitality and improvements to Bridgehead Road. These improvements include the widening of the roadway to new City standards along the frontage of the Oakley Logistic Center, construction of new curb, gutter, sidewalks, streetlights, traffic signal and landscaping.
The section of Bridgehead Road that still needs much improvement is from the entrance to the Oakley Logistics Center just north of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad bridge to Main Street. This section of the roadway is narrow without any formal improvements. One of the major deficiencies of this roadway is the narrow railroad bridge and its storm drain pump station that need to be fully reconstructed to modern standards.
The success of the Oakley Logistics Center project has brought attention of other commercial developers to the western region of Oakley with the goal of constructing other modern light industrial buildings to accommodate the growing business in the ECommerce industry. There are several large parcels of land north of Main Street that are currently farmed for vineyards and the property owner is entertaining proposals from developers to sell the land and construct light industrial facilities similar to the Oakley Logistics Center.

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.CI.Oakley.CA.US Capital Improvement Project (CIP) No. 300 will perform a detailed analysis of the alignment of Bridgehead Road in the section from the BNSF railroad bridge to the intersection with Main Street. The purpose of this analysis is to come up with the most optimized lane alignment and roadway configuration to enhance traffic flows and enhance access to the new facilities. There are physical constraints on this roadway, such as utilities and the bridge that would have to be evaluated as part of this project, to create the most functional Bridgehead Road.
It is important for the City to proactively prepare the outline of the infrastructure improvements that will be needed on Bridgehead Road so that the developers know what is expected from them in order to build any new development projects along Bridgehead Road.
Staff have worked with the consulting firm, Mark Thomas & Co. Inc. on the preparation of a proposal for this project. This firm is best suited to undertake this project with their expertise in both civil and structural engineering, as this project will include not only new widening and improvements on Bridgehead Road but also the constructing of a new railroad bridge for BNSF and Amtrak that use these tracks.
The final design and construction improvements on Bridgehead Road will be performed by the new developers as part of their off-site improvements they build along with their development projects.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Community Health and Safety goals.
Fiscal Impact
The FY 2023/24 CIP budget has allocated funding from the Measure J fund for this project.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Derek P. Cole, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Oakley Renewing the City of Oakley Military Equipment Policy as Enacted in Chapter 39 of Title 4 of the Oakley Municipal Code
Background and Analysis
In August 2022, the City enacted Chapter 4.39 of the Oakley Municipal Code, which codifies the City’s military equipment policy. The City enacted this ordinance in accordance with AB 481, a 2021 statute that required law enforcement agencies to develop written policies governing their use of military equipment and to obtain approval of these approvals from their governing bodies (city councils) in public meetings.
AB 481 imposes annual obligations on law enforcement agencies that have adopted military equipment policies. These agencies must annually prepare reports concerning their use of military equipment during the previous year and their compliance with policy standards. Governing bodies must receive and approve these reports. Law enforcement agencies also must hold a community meeting to discuss and receive public input concerning the policies.
Following the public and community meetings concerning military equipment policies, governing bodies may choose to continue the military equipment policy for the forthcoming year. Technically, they do this by “renewing” the ordinances.
Because the City Council has received the Police Department’s military equipment policy and the Department has held the community meeting, the remaining step for the Council to take is to renew the City’s Military Equipment Ordinance. The proposed resolution is offered for that purpose.
Staff Recommendation
The City Council is requested to adopt the Resolution of the City Council of the City of Oakley Renewing the City of Oakley Military Equipment Policy as Enacted in Chapter 39 of Title 4 of the Oakley Municipal Code

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY RENEWING
THE CITY OF OAKLEY MILITARY EQUIPMENT POLICY AS ENACTED IN CHAPTER 39 OF TITLE 4 OF THE OAKLEY MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, on August 9, 2022, the City Council of the City of Oakley approved an ordinance enacting Chapter 39 of Title 4 of the Oakley Municipal Code concerning the Oakley Police Department’s use of military equipment (“Military Equipment Policy Ordinance”); and
WHEREAS, the Oakley Military Equipment Policy Ordinance was enacted in accordance with 2021 Assembly Bill 481 (“AB 481”), which required local agencies using military equipment to adopt a policy governing the use of such equipment; and WHEREAS, AB 481 requires that local law enforcement agencies that have adopted military equipment policies submit an annual report regarding their policies to their governing agencies; and
WHEREAS, the Oakley Police Department submitted, and the City Council received, a report concerning the City’s military equipment policy at the regular City Council meeting on July 11, 2023; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with AB 481, the Oakley Police Department held a community meeting on July 26, 2023 to receive public and community input regarding the City’s military equipment policy; and
WHEREAS, AB 481 requires that following its receipt of the annual report concerning the military equipment policy, the City Council must annually vote to renew the Military Equipment Policy Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, in considering whether to renew the Military Equipment Policy Ordinance, the City Council must determine that each type of equipment identified in the Oakley Police Department’s military equipment report continues to meet the following standards:
(1) The policy is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; and (2) The policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties; and
(3) The military equipment is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; and 91 Resolution No. XX-23 Page 2 of 2
4888-6497-2403.1
(4) Prior military equipment use complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time; and
WHEREAS, based on the annual military equipment report the Oakley Police Department has prepared, along with the evidence received before and during the meeting in which the City Council considered that report, the City Council finds that the Oakley Police Department’s use of military equipment during the preceding 12 months complied with the referenced standards and the Department’s continued use of military equipment is necessary to ensure the standards continue to be met.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that in light of the foregoing findings, the City Council of the City of Oakley hereby directs that the Military Equipment Policy Ordinance is annually renewed in accordance with AB 481.

League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 20-22, 2023, Sacramento SAFE Credit Union Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Sept. 22, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Please complete the attached voting delegate form and email it to Cal Cities office no later than Monday, August 28.
New this year, we will host a pre-conference information session for voting delegates to explain their role. Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide preconference communications with voting delegates.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. When completing the attached Voting Delegate form, please attach either a copy of the council resolution that reflects the council action taken or have your city clerk or mayor sign the form affirming that the names provided are those selected by the city council.
Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Council Action Advised by August 28, 2023
95 Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, will be open at the following times:
Wednesday, Sept. 20, 8:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 21, 7:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 22, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for completing the voting delegate and alternate form and returning it to Cal Cities office by Monday, Aug. 28. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

98 Sixty days before the
Annual Conference and
Expo, Cal Cities members
may submit policy
proposals on issues of
importance to cities. The
resolution must have the concurrence
of at least five additional member cities
or individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions
Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure that we are representing California cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policy that erodes local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how Resolutions and the General Assembly works.
The petitioned resolution
is an alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during the
annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of member
cities, and submitted to the Cal Cities
President at least 24 hours before the
beginning of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities President
assigns general resolutions
to policy committees where
members review, debate,
and recommend positions for
each policy proposal. Recommendations are
forwarded to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions
Committee includes
representatives from
each Cal Cities diversity
caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly
is a meeting of the
collective body of
all voting delegates —
one from every
member city.
Seven Policy
Committees meet
throughout the year to
review and recommend
positions to take on
bills and regulatory
proposals. Policy
committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division,
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions Committee.
Potential Cal Cities bylaws amendments are also
considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a
member-informed
process, grounded
in the voices and
experiences of city
officials throughout
the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions Committee
considers all resolutions.
General Resolutions approved1
by either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee
are next considered by the General
Assembly. General resolutions not approved,
or referred for further study by both a policy
committee and the Resolutions Committee
do not go the General Assembly. All
Petitioned Resolutions are considered by the
General Assembly, unless disqualified.2
• Voting delegates will receive increased communications to prepare them for their role during the General Assembly.
• The General Assembly will take place earlier to allow more time for debate and discussion.
• Improvements to the General Assembly process will make it easier for voting delegates to discuss and debate resolutions.

Summary
This is an application by ACD-TI Oakley, LLC (“Applicant”) requesting approval of a Development Agreements Master Amendment (DA 01-23) that would apply to five separate Development Agreements to extend their terms from December 13, 2025 to December 13, 2035 (“Project”). The five existing Development Agreements apply to previously approved development projects made up of Planning Areas 1, 3, 4, and 6-H of the East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan. The development projects, commonly known as KT-KB Oakley LLC (Planning Area 1), Lesher Trust (Planning Area 1), Dal Porto South (Planning Area 3), Bethel Island LLC (Planning Area 4), and Pacific West Communities (Planning Area 6-H), are all part of a larger project known as “Grand Cypress Preserve”.
All sites covered under the existing Development Agreements and applicable to the proposed Master Amendment are zoned SP-1 (East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan) District. The applicable sites are located in Planning Areas 1, 3, 4, and 6-H of the East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan generally located at the eastern end of Oakley north and south of East Cypress Road, Oakley, CA 94561.

The proposed amendment document is officially titled, “Amendment to Certain Development Agreements By and Between City of Oakley and ACD-TI Oakley, LLC Relating to the Projects Comprising the ‘Cypress Preserve Project’ and Located in the East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan Area.” For the purposes of this request and simplifying its name, that document is referred to as the “Grand Cypress Preserve Development Agreements Master Amendment” or “Master Amendment.” The Master Amendment includes recitals that provide background and references to the original Development Agreements for all of the projects and two Development Agreement Amendments for KT KB Oakley LLC and Lesher Trust which received term extensions to match the December 12, 2025 expiration date created for the other three projects. The applicant is requesting an extension of the term to December 13, 2035 (10-year extension) for all of the Development Agreements. As described in Part C of the Recitals, the request is due to the “…current state of the economy and its negative effect on market orientation, interest rates, and housing demand, and in order to reduce the risk of development in light of such adverse economic conditions…”. The language providing the extension is found under Part
2.1 “Amendments to Term” of the Agreement section of the proposed Development Agreement. The specific language is proposed as follows:
The date “December 13, 2025,” as set forth in Section 1.4 of each of the Lesher Agreement, the KT-KB Agreement, the PacWest Agreement, the Dal Porto Agreement, and the Bethel Agreement, is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the date “December 13, 2035” and thereby extend the Term of each such agreement an additional ten (10) years beyond December 13, 2025.
This Development Agreement Master Amendment also proposes a Part 2.3 titled, “Additional Clarification of East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) Mitigation Measures.” This section calls attention to three Mitigation Measures (“MM”) from the ECCSP EIR adopted on March 10, 2009 by City Council Resolution 46-09 (MMs 3.8-12, 3.13-4, and 3.13-16). These MMs all refer to the requirement for the Rock Slough Bridge to be constructed and installed before 20% (800 units) of the ECCSP is constructed. The proposed amendment language will serve to clarify to the developers of the Grand Cypress Preserve project that residential units in the existing Summer Lake South project and undeveloped Summer Lake North project are not counted toward the units that will prompt implementation of these MMs. This clarification has been determined by the City Attorney through analysis of the ECCSP EIR and the “Agreement Between Contra Costa County and City of Oakley Relating to Transition of Municipal Services, Collection of Fees and Maintenance of Infrastructure Upon Annexation of the East 102

Planning Commission Public Hearing
On July 18, 2023, the City of Oakley Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed project in order to make a recommendation to the City Council. During the hearing, City Staff provided a presentation summarizing the request, analysis, and findings, and Staff recommendation to the Commission and public. The applicant spoke and reiterated their reasoning behind the request. No members of the public provided oral comments.
Prior to the meeting, Staff received one written comment from Contra Costa Water District (“CCWD”). That letter was also forwarded to the Planning Commission. In summary, the letter brought attention to agreements between CCWD and the applicant as well as the importance of the levee for the canal undergrounding project. Staff responded to CCWD that the term extension would not have any negative effect on their standing agreements, and it may increase the likelihood the project, including the levee, remains feasible and is eventually developed. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously in favor of the proposed Development Agreements Master Amendment (4-0) with one absence and adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 11-23.
Analysis
The Development Agreements Master Amendment is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs in the ECCSP. It is also compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the ECCSP, and is designed in compliance with the approved development plans in that it does not result in any physical changes to any of the approved entitlements for any of the applicable Tentative Maps.
The Master Amendment is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice and will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare in that the development in the ECCSP is responsible for much of the infrastructure improvements or cost-sharing for those improvements in and around the area that will benefit future residents and existing residents of Summer Lake South and areas in unincorporated Contra Costa County, such as along Dutch Slough Road and Sandmound Boulevard and on Bethel Island, and the term extension will increase the likelihood these projects are developed, and as a result, that infrastructure completed. The Master Amendment will not adversely affect the development of the properties in that the term extension will increase the chances they are able to be developed in the future.

Draft findings can be found in the proposed resolution.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
Approval of this application would be consistent with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+ Community and Economic Development Goal by serving to preserve existing entitlements of the ECCSP which will help to implement the objective to “Plan and develop Cypress Corridor holistically with improvements and commerce to service new development to ease downtown traffic.” It will also serve to implement the Community Health and Safety Goal. Future development of these properties and the cooperation by the developer to be involved in project-related fair share agreements ensure crucial infrastructure such as improvements to East Cypress Road can be completed in a desirable timeframe. This type of improvement will result in a full right of way width with multi-modal travel design and enhanced pedestrian safety.
Fiscal Impact
The approval of these entitlements will not have an impact on the General Fund. This is a developer funded account. All Staff time and City of Oakley generated materials are charged to the developer account funded by the developer.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council waive the first reading and introduce the proposed ordinance approving the project titled, Grand Cypress Preserve Development Agreements Master Amendment (DA 01-23).

The Recitals contained in this First Amendment, and the introductory paragraph preceding the Recitals, are hereby incorporated into this First Amendment as if fully set forth herein.
7. Severability. If any portion, part, article, section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, phrase, word, term, provision, covenant, or condition of this First Amendment 114
6 (each a “Portion”) or the application of any Portion of this First Amendment to a particular situation is held by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such Portion shall be considered severed from this First Amendment and the remainder of this First Amendment, or the application of this First Amendment to other situations, shall continue in full force and effect unless amended or modified by the mutual consent of the Parties.
8. Cooperation in the Event of Challenge. In the event of any legal or equitable acts, action or other proceeding instituted by a third-party, other governmental entities or officials challenging the validity of this First Amendment or any Portion thereof, the Parties hereby agree to cooperate in defending said action or proceeding.

SUBJECT: Appeal of Administrative Hearing Officer’s Decision, 20 W. Bolton Road, Oakley, California
Background and Analysis
Appellant is the property owner of 20 W. Bolton Road, Oakley, California. Appellant is contesting the total amount of fines imposed and the validity of the code violations cited in the Administrative Hearing Officer’s Decision. The appeal was submitted timely.
On March 2, 2021, while performing an inspection in response to a complaint made regarding livestock on 20 W. Bolton Road, Code Enforcement staff observed a structure being built on the property without a permit and a Notice of Violation (Attachment 1) was issued to Appellant to apply for and obtain a building/demo permit by March 22, 2021. The Notice also provided permitted uses for livestock with a remedy date of March 12, 2021, for livestock on the property. Thereafter, it was unclear to staff if the livestock remained; therefore, staff extended the remedy date for livestock to March 22, 2021, to coincide with the date the building/demo permit must be obtained.
On March 22, 2021, Appellant’s contractor contacted staff requesting additional time to submit plans for the storage structure and staff informed him he would first need to obtain approval from Environmental Health. Staff granted a 20-day extension (April 11, 2021) for the contractor to start the process with Environmental Health, provide an update to staff, and provide proof to staff that he is working with Environmental Health.
The contractor also confirmed the livestock was still on the property and staff requested he inform Appellant that it be re-homed or Appellant would be cited. The contractor provided proof of application with Environmental Health on April 12, 2021, and staff extended the deadline 20 days to review.
On April 12, 2021, staff contacted the contractor and provided details of how to apply for the permit, including the permit application, Accessory Structure handout, credit card Approved and
Forwarded to the
City Council

On May 14, 2021, staff issued a final Notice of Violation (Attachment 2) to Appellant to obtain a building/demo permit and to remove livestock from the property.
On May 26, 2021, the contractor submitted documents to staff for the storage structure; however, the plans were difficult to read, and he was asked to re-submit the plans by May 28, 2021, along with a copy of the preliminary title report. On May 28, 2021, he submitted the prints in the City’s drop box and requested to drop off the larger printed copy in person. Staff extended the deadline one week to confirm receipt of the larger copy.
On June 1, 2021, staff contacted the contractor to again inform him the complete submittal of the permit documents needs to occur after he has obtained approval from Environmental Health and that a copy of the preliminary title report would need to be submitted with those documents. The same day, staff received information that livestock still existed on the property and issued a Notice of Violation (Attachment 3) to remedy livestock on the property by June 11, 2021, along with Administrative Citation AC-21- 000210 (Attachment 4) in the amounts of $100 (livestock) to Appellant.
On June 7, 2021, Appellant communicated to staff there was no goat, pig or rooster on the property, but she did have five chickens of which staff requested she remove two of them for code compliance (Oakley Municipal Code Section 9.1.404(b)(12)(b) allows a maximum of three). Appellant requested appeal forms on June 15, 2021, and staff provided them to her via email indicating the filing deadline of June 16, 2021. Appellant submitted the appeal forms timely. Staff extended the deadline one week for her/her contractor to submit the permit forms in PDF format to staff, including Environmental Health approval and a copy of the preliminary title report.
On June 17, 2021, the contractor submitted a USB flash drive with the requested documents; however, the plans were still very difficult to read; therefore, on June 21, 2021, staff requested the plans be resubmitted with a PDF file or Dropbox link. Staff also reached out to Appellant the same day to request she schedule a site visit with the Building Department to assist with the building permit requirements for the property upon noticing that approval from Environmental Health included multiple structures (metal shed, cargo box, metal carport and shed).

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.CI.Oakley.CA.US On June 21, 2021, staff dismissed Administrative Citation AC-21-000210. The property owner had contacted staff and indicated a goat on the property was re-homed, no pig exists on the property, a rooster is her neighbor’s, and she agreed to remove two of the five chickens on the property.
The contractor scheduled a site visit that was held July 13, 2021, with Code Enforcement staff and the City’s Building Inspector present, along with Appellant’s son.
Staff observed a metal carport with electrical, two sheds, a sea container that appeared someone may be living in, an unpermitted addition to the main house, chicken coop, goat house, and the proposed storage shed. In addition, staff observed a large amount of debris, tools, car parts, vehicles, a commercial vehicle (truck being used for storage), six jet skis and five dirt bikes.
Staff from Code Enforcement, Building and Planning met on July 28, 2021, to discuss the violations and corrective actions. On August 2, 2021, staff issued a Notice of Violation (Attachment 5) to Appellant for failure to obtain a building permit (proposed shed, addition to the main house, cargo box/shipping container, metal carport with electrical, and main house roof and foundation repair), cargo box/shipping container not permitted as a living space, minimum setback requirements for cargo box/shipping container, fence regulations (regarding fence surrounding property), and operating home-based business (automotive/motorcycle repair business). Staff provided until August 22, 2021, for code compliance.
On August 3, 2021, Code Enforcement and Police posted a red tag (Attachment 6) at the property for the cargo box/shipping container to the exterior fence and Appellant offered to post a red tag on the cargo box/shipping container. Staff provided Appellant with a copy of the Notice of Violation. Appellant confirmed she let a woman live in the shipping container but asked her to leave after receiving the City’s notice. She also stated that no children were living in the shipping container upon toys noticed by staff which she indicated were for her grandson who visits. While onsite, staff observed a woman exiting the property with bags of items and taking them to a car parked across the street from the property and then returning with the bags to the property as staff was exiting the area.
Communications continued between staff, Appellant, and Appellant’s son regarding setback requirements, Residential Design Guidelines and accessory structures.
Appellant expressed interest in removing the existing home and building a new one; however, site plans were not submitted. On September 7, 2021, staff issued a final Notice of Violation (Attachment 7) addressing outstanding violations (failure to obtain a building permit for the proposed shed, addition to the main house, cargo box/shipping container, metal carport with electrical, and main house roof and foundation repair; and 139

On October 4, 2021, the site plan was submitted by the contractor and staff performed a cursory review of the setbacks. On October 26, 2021, staff communicated the setbacks to the contractor and on October 27, 2021, staff reached out to Appellant to provide the setback information and to try and discuss her action plan to address the existing violations. Appellant was non-responsive to staff’s outreach and on November 1, 2021, staff again issued a final Notice of Violation (addressing same issues as the Notice of Violation issued September 7, 2021) (Attachment 8) with the code compliance date of November 21, 2021.
Staff and Appellant continued communications regarding permit requirements and on November 18, 2021, Appellant submitted two permit applications which staff communicated to her were incomplete.
On December 1, 2021, staff confirmed no permits had been issued for any of the structures and violations remained; therefore, staff issued Administrative Citation AC21-000534 (Attachment 9) to Appellant in the amounts of $130 (failure to obtain a building permit for the proposed shed), $130 (failure to obtain a building permit for the addition to the main house), $130 (failure to obtain a building permit for a cargo box/shipping container) and $130 (failure to obtain a building permit for a metal carport with electrical). A Notice of Violation (Attachment 10) was also issued to Appellant on December 1, 2021, for failure to obtain a building permit for the proposed shed, addition to the main house, cargo box/shipping container, and metal carport with electrical with the code compliance date of December 21, 2021. In addition, a Courtesy Notice (Attachment 11) was also issued to Appellant to cease living in the RV with a code compliance date of December 11, 2021.
On December 8 and 9, 2021, staff communicated with Appellant regarding permits and the contractor contacted staff on December 10, 2021, to indicate he would submit the application.
On December 15, 2021, staff received a complaint regarding livestock at the property and staff issued a Notice of Violation (Attachment 12) to Appellant with a code compliance date of January 4, 2022.

Staff reached out to Appellant again on January 18, 2022 as staff was unable to determine progress by the attachments Appellant sent to staff via email on January 17, 2022. An exchange of emails occurred between January 18, 2022 through January 28, 2022 regarding the permit application. Staff informed Appellant on January 28, 2022 that a demo permit could not be issued for the storage room/addition area as there was a concern regarding safety and Appellant should contact Planning regarding requirements of the sea container as well as multiple building dwellings on the property.
As of May 12, 2022, no permits had been issued and there had been no communication from Appellant. A reinspection of the property was performed, and violations remained.
Staff issued the second Administrative Citation AC-22-000179 (Attachment 13) in the amounts of $700 (failure to obtain a building permit for the proposed shed), $700 (failure to obtain a building permit for the addition to the main house), $700 (failure to obtain a building permit for the cargo box/shipping container), and $700 failure to obtain a building permit for the metal carport with electrical). Staff also issued a Notice of Violation (Attachment 14) addressing outstanding violations (failure to obtain a building permit for the proposed shed, addition to the main house, cargo box/shipping container, and metal carport with electrical).
On May 31, 2022, Appellant’s son contacted staff to request more time and indicated they have a permit with Environmental Health for removal of the septic tank and an upcoming inspection. Staff informed him the demo permits still needed to be obtained, they cannot live in the RV, suggested he speak with Building to review submittal requirements again so there is no misunderstanding, and provided a 30-day extension to connect to sewer and submit demo permits or make progress.
In late June 2022, the contractor sent an attachment to staff via email, and it was unclear to staff if the septic had been abandoned or connected. After reaching out to the contractor for clarification and receiving no response, staff confirmed with Ironhouse Sanitary District July 18, 2022, that a connection permit had not been issued for the property and it is not on public sewer. Staff connected with Environmental Health regarding the status of the permit to abandon septic on July 19, 2022, and was informed that the inspector noted that people were living in the RV on the property. Staff issued Administrative Citation AC-22-000216 (Attachment 15) in the amount of $100 to Appellant, along with a Notice of Violation (Attachment 16) to cease living in the RV, with a code compliance date of July 29, 2022. Environmental Health also sent Appellant a letter (Attachment 17) the same day rescinding its septic tank permit approval and providing Appellant until January 1, 2023, to connect or demolish the structure previously served by the septic system. Staff confirmed with Diablo Water District that the property was still connected to water service.

A porta-potty was being used in lieu of sewage connection and Appellant was informed she had until July 30, 2022, to remove it. While on site for the red-tag, staff found no evidence to suggest people were living in the RV, therefore staff canceled Administrative Citation AC-22-000216.
Communication continued between staff and the contractor regarding obtaining a demo permit and on July 28, 2022, an additional 90-day extension was provided.
Communication continued between staff and Appellant regarding removal of the portapotty and permits.
On October 14, 2022, Environmental Health contacted staff and informed staff they were contacted by Appellant’s son who stated they were no longer planning to connect to sewer, wanted to install a new septic system, and plan to demo the home.
On January 11, 2023, Environmental Health contacted staff inquiring about the status of the property since they hadn’t received an application to replace the septic system. Staff advised there was no recent contact from the property owner with any updates.
On January 12, 2023, staff performed an inspection at the property and issued a third Administrative Citation AC-23-000004 (Attachment 20) to Appellant in the amounts of $1,300 (failure to obtain a building permit for proposed shed), $1,300 (failure to obtain a building permit for addition to the main house), $1,300 (failure to obtain a building permit for cargo box/shipping container) and $1,300 (failure to obtain a building permit for metal carport with electrical).

On April 12, 2023, the matter was heard before an administrative hearing officer with Appellant and Appellant’s son present. The decision (Attachment 26) held that the citations are affirmed, the appeal is denied, and the fines totaling $5,330 are approved (due in 30 days). The decision also provided Appellant could file a written appeal of the Administrative Hearing Officer’s Decision with the City Clerk by May 18, 2023, to have the matter heard before the City Council.
On April 17, 2023, the Administrative Hearing Officer’s Decision was mailed to Appellant.
On May 11, 2023, Appellant placed her written appeal (Attachment 27) into the drop box located outside the City’s Development Services Building which was retrieved by staff from the drop box on May 22, 2023. The appeal was submitted timely.
Appellant is contesting the total amount of fines imposed and the validity of the code violations cited in the Administrative Hearing Officer’s Decision. In her written appeal, she indicates the fines imposed are excessive and unjustified, and requests the fines be reduced to a more reasonable amount. She also indicates she has taken all necessary steps to ensure her property is code and regulation compliant.
On May 31, 2023, an email was sent to the property owner to confirm the date of August 8, 2023, would work for the hearing and on July 18, 2023, staff mailed and e-mailed a Notice of Hearing (Attachment 28) to the property owner advising of this hearing date, time and location.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This matter is consistent with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+ Community Health and Safety Goal to have safe and healthy neighborhoods.
Fiscal Impact
The essence of Code Enforcement is to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of a community through code compliance. A Notice of Violation is provided to a property owner when there is a code violation to allow the property owner opportunity to remedy the violation. When there is no code compliance and the violation remains after receiving notice and being provided time to remedy the violation, citations are then utilized. Here, notices were issued, time was provided to remedy violations, and citations were eventually issued. Appellant has had, in total, more than two years to remedy the violations, of which staff time has been dedicated. The fines cited are before the Council for consideration, acknowledging that no permits have been issued for repair or demolition; therefore, violations remain on the property. The 143

City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 1 I. Introduction
The City of Oakley has been working from its 2016-17 Work Plan which outlines goals and priorities for the community’s economic development. Following the 2019 COVID pandemic and subsequent economic shifts, city leadership determined it was time to update the work plan. The intent of the updated work plan is to recommend implementation actions that the city should take to achieve and boost long-term economic growth, promote economic diversification, and leverage its assets.
The consulting team of Chabin Concepts, DSG Advisors, and Urban Scenarios visited the City of Oakley to document the city’s ability to deliver on the customary site selection factors considered when businesses search for a new location. Findings of this work are detailed in the Gap Analysis section and are the basis of the work plan. The work plan is focused on guiding the city economic development staff to prepare for an demonstrate to corporate decision-makers that the City of Oakley understands and can deliver on the location and
workforce needs associated with the industries targeted for business attraction.
A. Goals
The economic development work plan adheres to the city’s goals as stated in the 2022-2027+ Strategic Plan. The strategies and action items are intended to enhance the city’s economic development competitiveness and contribute to reaching the following goals.
1. Community and Economic Development: inspire and encourage community and economic development through strategic and thoughtful growth, a business-friendly environment, and local employment opportunities.
2. Community Health and Safety: protect the public and prioritize safe streets, healthy neighborhoods, and robust community resources.
3. Parks and Open Space: capitalize on the Delta, where residents, businesses, and visitors can recreate and relax.
4. Community and Collaborative Partnerships: build strong community and collaborative partnerships to be mutually beneficial and co-create shared goals.
5. Finance and Fiscal Responsibility: leverage financial resources for the long-term benefit of residents and businesses while maintaining sufficient reserves to provide stability and ensure a successful future.
6. Sustainable Organization: create a vibrant municipal workforce that reflects commitment to an inclusive and equitable community and can meet the mission today while striving for the envisioned future tomorrow.
VISION: The City of Oakley celebrates
our unique Delta lifestyle and smalltown feel where we live in a safe dynamic community, work together to
build the future, and play in our own
backyard.
202
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 2 B. Competitive Analysis
The Chabin Team conducted an analysis of Oakley’s community assets to identify economic development opportunities, real estate parcels and industry investment targets. The analysis considered customary site selection factors businesses study when searching for a new location. The matrix below presents a summary of findings which are the basis for the target industry recommendations and a revised work plan. A more detailed discussion of the Competitive Analysis is included in Section III Gap Analysis. ASSETS Location on highways, interstates, and access to freight and passenger air and port services Growing talent pipeline and employers can draw 1.2 million workers in just 30-mile radii Good workforce training resources in the region
Growth of median household income is on par with county, better than cities in region Low crime rate and favorable cost of living when compared to county and region Oakley has miles of waterfront that could support a range of development opportunities Entrepreneur Center
Efforts are underway to establish a chamber of commerce Professional and service-oriented economic development staff
CHALLENGES
Limited market-ready sites or buildings for industrial or commercial uses 95% of working population leave the city for employment Economy is heavily weighted to service and retail; economic development actions need to focus on diversifying the economy
Educational attainment is lower than other cities in the region, low performance in English and math in the high school
Senior population growing (age 60+)
Planning is underway; a concrete plan for waterfront development must be a priority
OPPORTUNITIES
There is high demand in the region for small to medium sized light industrial sites and buildings. Land zoned industrial in Oakley could accommodate an estimated 700,000 square feet of light industrial building space and several hundred traded-sector jobs Agreement on industry targets among educators, economic development organizations, and city government would guide stakeholders in moving the city forward Amtrak station will increase traffic and enhance the sense of importance of downtown Entrepreneur Center could spur entrepreneurs to invest in downtown development Waterfront development of recreation will improve the city’s quality of life, attract visitors, and generate sales tax revenue
Industrial development of the waterfront will draw business to the community and create local jobs
Regional organizations can help expand the economic development capacity in the city 203
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 3 C. Target Industries
The consulting team weighed community assets against our experience with economic development and corporate investment trends at local, regional, national, and global levels. The target industries listed here are seen by the consulting team as aligning with Oakley’s development assets, training initiatives supported by Contra Costa Community College, Contra Costa County’s Department of Conservation and Development specified industry targets, and private sector investment trends in the region.
By focusing on the attraction of industries that align with community assets, Oakley can realize several benefits including:
• New job-creating investments in the city of
Oakley
• Diversified Oakley economy with higherpaying, traded sector jobs • Expanded capacity and marketing
opportunities with target industries
aligned with county and regional
economic and workforce development
partner organizations
• Increased presence and awareness in
the region as a place to expand into a
nearby, more-affordable location
• Reduced commute time for much of the
Oakley workforce that is currently
leaving the city for jobs
The remainder of this section presents a brief description of each target sector and Oakley’s value proposition for meeting sector needs.
Clean Tech
Ag Tech
Advanced Manufacturing
Business Services
Recreation
204
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 4 Target Industry Recreation—specifically boating, fishing and fishing tournaments Rationale Leverages and makes good economic use of one of the city’s greatest asset, the waterfront
Attracting anglers and spectators can help draw attention to the city as place to do business (expanding the reach into other target industries) Bass fishing is considered a top freshwater sport and California is one of the top three states contributing to the national economic impact Fishing tournaments attract and engage all age groups and skill levels If Oakley can keep anglers and spectators in the city for the duration of the tournament (for lodging, dining, supplies, etc.) the economic impact to the city and local businesses could be substantial
Once developed, the planned 55-acre Oakley Regional Park at Seller Avenue (pictured below) may be sufficient to hold small- to medium-sized tournaments but more research would need to be conducted
Figure 1. Oakley Regional Park
205
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 5 Target Industry Business and Technical Services—includes operations providing back-office support functions, inbound call centers, small data centers, and specialized product fulfillment that support regional, national, and global markets.
Rationale The recommended development area and surrounding environment on Oakley’s west side is conducive to attractive office park development, offering views of greenery and surrounding terrain
Oakley’s location offers easy access to clientele throughout the East Bay Occupations are a good match for the existing workforce Sixty-five percent of the workers in the 30-mile labor shed area are in occupations that support this industry sector e.g., business and finance, IT, architecture, engineering, healthcare, sales and related (ESRI labor profile) Target Industry Advanced Manufacturing—refers to the use of innovative technology to improve products or processes. Advanced manufacturing industries constantly integrate new technologies into their products and processes.
Rationale Occupations are a good match for the existing workforce Supports existing manufacturing and advanced manufacturing operations in Contra Costa County and the East Bay region
Development of the recommended light industrial district on Oakley’s west side is perfectly suited to this type of operation (Figure 7) Figure 2. Examples of
attractive business park
settings
206
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 6 Target Industry Agricultural Technology (AgTech)—encompasses ag-related manufacturing, processing, and services, including horticulture and aquaculture. AgTech companies use technology or provide services to improve yield, efficiency, and profitability e.g., robotics, temp or moisture sensors, aerial imaging.
Rationale Development and adoption of new agricultural technology is rapidly evolving, and California and the greater Bay Area is the center of innovation The changing regulatory environment, higher operating costs, foreign and domestic competition, and shifts in market demands opens opportunities for communities able to meet market and cost demands
Once developed, the recommended light industrial district on Oakley’s west side is perfectly suited to these types of operation (Figure 7) Commercial and industrial services including machine shops, equipment repair, metal fabrication, engineering firms, vehicle repair, and light manufacturing support the needs of both local and outside markets
Target Industry Clean Technology (CleanTech)—is the term used to describe companies involved in energy, water, transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing using technology and processes to improve the long-term health of the environment. This can include a broad range of industry sectors including recycling, renewable energy, information technology, green transportation, electric motors, green chemistry, lighting, grey water, etc.
Rationale Could support existing employers in the region many of whom are already using some type of advanced technologies
Cleantech jobs are among the fastest growing in the nation Development of the recommended light industrial sites is perfectly suited to this type of operation
A broad array of occupations are involved in cleantech, from highly degreed professionals to skilled trades—civil and process engineers, technicians, solar panel installers, IT, and lower skilled manufacturing and logistics workers Industrial development on the waterfront could be attractive to these users; operations can cover the spectrum from small entrepreneurial firms to large multi-national corporations requiring a range of site and building sizes and configurations
207
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 7 D. Oakley’s Value Proposition
Value Propositions are statements that convey benefits or solutions the community offers to businesses and specific industries. An effective value proposition answers the question “why should my business locate in Oakley?” Your responses to this question must be accompanied by fact-based proof points which will entice the audience to learn more.
Messages and proof points will be different for different audiences—local businesses, prospects, brokers, developers, media, workers—have different interests and priorities. Below are several potential value propositions and proof points for the City of Oakley’s target industries.
The Appendix contains a guide to creating an effective Key Message Platform.
Sample Value Propositions for the City of Oakley
Companies in the City of Oakley are in the heart of the East Bay Area and can easily reach major metro markets.
Oakley employers count on highly productive workers and world-class training programs. Oakley has a large out-commuting workforce that is looking for local employment. Lower operational costs give you a greater return on your investment in Oakley. Oakley’s [named] business park is the premier location for [industry] employers. Oakley’s access to waterfront areas for recreation and sport is the best in the region.
Sample Proof Points
Nearly 20,000 skilled workers commuting out of Oakley are looking for local employment Access to workforce and training resources including drone training and Los Medanos College’s Process Technology (PTEC) certification programs where students can receive certification on advanced manufacturing skills in as little as 18 months Within [miles or minutes] of wine industry and ag growers and processers in East Bay and the Central Valley
Operational costs X% lower than surrounding communities Easy proximity to centers of innovation including UC Davis XX acres of waterfront property
208
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 8 II. Work Plan
The 2023 Work Plan is an update of 2016-2017 Economic Development Work Plan and identifies specific actions that the City should take to achieve and boost long-term economic growth and economic diversification, by leveraging community assets.
A. Objectives
1. Prepare the City of Oakley to be a competitive location for the attraction of new business opportunities and investment in the community
2. Promote and facilitate new business opportunities and new investments in the community
3. Update the marketing program
4. Provide tools and resources to help existing Oakley businesses grow and succeed
5. Improve the look and feel of the City while maintaining its small-town character B. Work Plan Tasks
Objective 1—Prepare the City of Oakley to be a competitive location for the attraction of new business opportunities and investment in the community
• Prepare acreage for the market that can support manufacturing, industrial services, offices, and related activities that will create high paying jobs and help diversify the local economy. Prioritize development of a light industrial park on 40+ acres located south of Main Street and east of Highway 160. This would include conducting an infrastructure needs assessment and plan for services such as electric, gas, water, wastewater, fiber optics, and roadways. • Stay engaged with regional economic development efforts to ensure the city’s needs and plans are represented in discussion of planning efforts and funding allocations (e.g., Plan Bay Area 2050, Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative, East Bay EDA projects, Contra Costa Economic Partnership).
• Stay involved with Resilient East Bay Industrial Land Use Analysis (currently underway) and the East Bay Industrial Land Use Toolkit to support Oakley’s efforts to attract small to mid-sized businesses in the manufacturing, goods movement, and biomedical/life sciences sectors. • To regain fishing tournament(s), (1) reach out to the sponsoring groups to learn what they require in a location (facility size, marina and other services, lodging rooms and dining places that will accommodate the expected number of anglers and spectators); (2) complete the Oakley Regional Park Master Plan; (3) make upgrades to the waterfront areas; (4) begin the work to fulfill the location requirements of sponsoring groups (5) start marketing. 209
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 9 Objective 2—Facilitate new business opportunities and new investments in the community • Assist new and expanding businesses through the development and permit process by acting as the liaison and coordinating with other city and county departments and agencies (building, planning, public works, code enforcement, etc.).
• Solidify working relations with regional partners to expand city’s economic development capacity; share city’s plans, messages, value propositions with others who are conducting marketing and outreach to important audiences (businesses, site selectors, brokers, developers, etc.). • Actively support the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative Strategic Action Plan.
This is a small step in creating a value proposition for identified target industries e.g., clean tech, biotech, advanced ag and manufacturing, transportation tech. • Continue outreach to and further develop relationships with the regional broker community; as a primary audience for the city’s economic development marketing and messaging, include them on all print and electronic campaigns; make quarterly phone or personal contact. • Support and assist current efforts to establish an Oakley Chamber of Commerce.
Objective 3—Create a comprehensive marketing program
• Adopt a budget for economic development efforts that will adequately support the goals. • Select target industries, document Oakley’s value proposition for each sector (see the Key Message Platform guide in the Appendix) and continue to update. • Prepare economic development marketing materials that will serve as centerpiece to Request for Proposals (RFP) and other inquiries from prospective corporate investors (see Site Proposal Guide in the Appendix).
• Include market access advantages in messaging to companies and organizations considering investment in new or expanding facilities. Create map(s) for print and website that visually show Oakley’s access to highways, airports, port facilities, and major markets. • Establish a stand-alone economic development website to aid in driving traffic and delivering complete and unambiguous messaging on the advantages of Oakley for new investment (see content recommendations in the Appendix).
• Document Oakley’s development costs and permitting process. Partner with building, planning, public works, code enforcement and other relevant departments and partner agencies to prepare simple materials that demonstrate the streamlined permitting process, rates and connection fees charged by the city and other agencies. Use flowcharts, other graphics, spreadsheets and testimonials from businesses and developers that prove to the market that Oakley truly is a ‘Business Friendly Community.’ Samples are provided in the Appendix. • Longer-term, explore the regional competitive landscape for infrastructure costs (rates and connection fees for water, wastewater), permitting fees and approval times, and land costs for targeted investments to illustrate how Oakley compares with area communities. If and when Oakley rate data do not compare favorably, identify where there are advantages—faster timeline, better 210
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 10 quality water, state-of-the art facilities, etc. Don’t hide the bad news, address it and incorporate advantages into key messages (sample included in the Site Proposal Guide in the Appendix). • Document local and regional workforce training resources, particularly those programs that support target industries. Incorporate information into messaging, marketing materials and website. • Be alert to emerging factors that put Oakley at a competitive disadvantage and look for ways to improve the community’s standing.
• Implement a system for maintaining an inventory of sites and buildings for commercial and industrial development that details infrastructure, development status, and costs. The Chabin Team recommends Location One Information System (LOIS) software platform. LOIS is a high quality and affordable website platform known for ease of use, attractive graphics, and support for branding customization.
• Expand Oakley's engagement with TeamCalifornia and the state's GoBiz organizations to better understand how location selection projects are identified and channeled to local areas and be prepared to respond to requests for information.
• Continually add new content to the city’s Story Map. Use it as a long-term visionary communications tool to promote the City’s vision, priorities, investment opportunities, and progress towards a competitive economic development environment.
Figure 3. Sample online property inventory from Location One Information System (LOIS) 211
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 11 Objective 4—Provide tools and resources to help existing Oakley businesses grow and succeed
• Keep abreast of the technical training offered by the colleges and high schools in the district. • Work closely with workforce and education partners to make joint visits to Oakley employers. • Continue to support and promote the Oakley Entrepreneur Incubator space. • Keep downtown businesses informed of the progress of Amtrak station and assist them to be prepared to take advantage e.g., collaborative messaging and marketing efforts, business directory, information kiosk.
Objective 5—Improve the look and feel of the city while maintaining its small-town character • Continue efforts to improve appearance and amenities throughout the city. • Continue working on downtown revitalization and establishing services around the Amtrak station for workers and residents.
• Continue working with partner organizations and landowners to clean up, make improvements to waterfront properties, and plan for future uses.
Figure 4. Investment in community amenities and revitalization support economic development and encourage private sector investment.

213
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 13 III. Gap Analysis
Business investment decisions are driven by considerations that reach far beyond properties. Business location selection comes only after carefully analyzing factors that are important to a company's near-term and long-term strategic interests.
Economic development best practices today acknowledge the complexities and work to ease the decision process by being prepared to show that the community is ready for corporate investment. The graphic below illustrates the variety of metrics considered during site selection. Collectively these factors can support or deny that a particular community is right for corporate investment.
The Chabin Team
documented the City of
Oakley’s local assets
and strengths on which
investment attraction
can be based. As
presented in this
section, our findings
are the basis of the
recommended target
industries, value
propositions, and
economic development
strategies. Strategies
are focused on preparing for and demonstrating to corporate decision-makers that the City of Oakley understands the strategic and tactical needs associated with the industries targeted for business attraction.
This Gap Analysis presents a discussion of what a competitive community offers to businesses and how Oakley compares to that ideal. The discussion includes assets the city can leverage, and the readiness gaps the Chabin Team believes need to be addressed to improve Oakley’s economic development competitiveness.
These findings are based on a review of information gathered from interviews, personal observations, data research, and materials collected during the consulting team’s community visit and form the basis of the resulting recommendations. Data sources and other details are included in the Appendix. 214
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 14 A. Market Access and
Transportation Infrastructure
The efficient movement of goods and people relies on a network of highways and arterial roads that connect sites to workers, customers, and vendors.
Oakley’s Competitive Position
• City is located at the intersection of state highways 160 (north/south) and 4 (east/west)
• The Main Street/Highway 160 interchange averages
37,000 daily vehicle trips and 4,850 daily truck trips
• 20 miles to Interstate 680 via State Highway 4
• 30 miles to Interstate 5 North via State Highway 160
• 30 miles to Interstate 5 South via State Highway 160
• Several freight and passenger airports are located within less than two-hour drive
Tactical Recommendations
• Include these market access advantages in your
messaging to prospects
• Create map(s) for print and website that visually show Oakley’s access to highways and major markets (Figure 1) Competitive communities
offer:
Highway access to and from
business parks, sites, and
employment centers that include
at least two routes for trucks and
employee vehicles
Access routes that are free of
potential traffic flow impediments
e.g., weight-limited bridges, low
clearances, rail crossings, areas
of traffic congestion, time-of-day
restrictions
A commercial airport within a 60-
to 90-minute drive
Rail cargo service and ocean
ports as necessary
Pedestrian-friendly downtown,
commercial and retail centers;
local roadways that connect
residents and visitors to
amenities and recreational
opportunities

location within a region, state, or nation
215
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 15 B. Workforce, Education
and Training
In today’s market, the primary business location factor is the availability and quality of workers. Location investigations start by verifying that a sufficient labor supply exists and that there is a pipeline of workers so businesses will be able to attract the talent they need now and in the future.
Workforce
• Median age (34 years) in Oakley is younger than Contra Costa County (39 years), and comparison cities of Antioch (36), Brentwood (40), and Benicia (46)
• Unlike comparison cities and many other cities across the nation, in Oakley there is a slight (2.7%) five-year growth in Talent Pipeline (0-19 years) and Prime Workers (20-39 years)
• Fortunately, Oakley employers can draw from a labor
force of 1.2 million in 30-mile radii
• Contra Costa County is historically a union community Training Resources
• Contra Costa Community College District operates three campuses in the county with 41,000 students enrolled
during the 2020-21 academic year; San Pablo (main
campus), Diablo Valley College in San Ramon, and Los
Medanos College (LMC) in Brentwood which is just 10 miles from Oakley • Between the three campuses a broad range of training programs are offered that align with local employers. Los Medanos College offers Process Technology (PTEC) certification where students learn advanced manufacturing skills through a certification program that can take as little as 18 months. Companies hiring Operations Technicians with PTEC certificates include refineries, chemical companies, local and regional water districts, food, wine and beer companies, and advanced manufacturing companies
• Mechanisms for maintaining effective outreach to the business community are reported to be in place e.g., 1) recent introduction of the Handshake platform joinhandshake.com to assist with job and employee search; 2) college maintains an outreach liaison to guide companies in how to engage students and instructors; 3) college staff development is guided by private sector skills requirements
Competitive communities
offer:
A supply of workers with
industry-specific skills and a
strong work ethic
Available sources of new
workers, e.g., population growth,
balanced age distribution,
graduates from two- or four-year
colleges, certificate training
programs
An education system adept at
producing workers with skills that
are aligned with industry needs
and the needs of a rapidly
changing global economy
Local wages and fringe benefits
structure reasonable for the
region
History of positive labormanagement relations
Amenities that attract and retain
talent
216
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 16 • Drone training has been approved at Los Medanos Campus which uses Buchanan and Byron airfields
Challenges
• The share of Oakley’s population with higher education degrees is unimpressive (18.6%) and does not compare well to countywide (41.7%) and comparison cities in the region (21% to 40%) • 95% of Oakley’s working population leaves the city for employment • Employment in Oakley is heavily weighted to service and retail jobs (Figure 2) • Contra Costa College District – the contract education program that originally focused on technology sectors only success is with construction sector.
Tactical Recommendations
• Keep abreast of the technical training offered by the colleges in the district • Work closely with the college/business outreach liaison and make joint visits to Oakley employers • Include the training resources in the industry value propositions and prospect proposals Figure 6. Distribution of Oakley's employment.

217
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 17 C. Real Estate and Infrastructure
Companies prefer sites or buildings that are shovel- or move-inready; sites that are supported by modern infrastructure with the capacity to accommodate current and future business needs.
Getting properties market-ready can be a long-term endeavor.
As communities work on preparing market-ready real estate, they should prioritize those properties that can be made ready with the least input. Have a plan to address any gaps in infrastructure and demonstrate a willingness to invest in required upgrades to expand and keep systems secure.
Sites and Buildings
• Very limited on market-ready sites and buildings to
support diversifying the economy away from service and
retail focus
• There is high demand in the region for small to medium size light industrial parks
• There is land available in Oakley that is suitable for nearterm development–small and large agriculture parcels–but nothing is ready for the market (Figure 7)
• The planned Amtrak station on Main Street offers Oakley an opportunity to continue developing downtown
Downtown
• Slated to open in first quarter 2025, the Amtrak San
Joaquin station will connect Oakley to the Bay Area,
Sacramento and Bakersfield. The station will have 275
parking stalls, a plaza and bistro and additional amenities to help create a transit hub in central downtown Oakley Water
• Diablo Water District serves the City of Oakley.
• Surface water is purchased from Contra Costa Water
District and Diablo Water District pulls water from three wells; all water is treated at Diablo’s treatment facility and distributed throughout the system; water is blended with groundwater to maintain quality and reliability across the system
• Treatment system is being upgraded to ensure quality and reliability as demand grows; hard water issues which are common in the region are being addressed; distribution pressure is maintained through elevated storage tanks

City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 18 Wastewater System
• Ironhouse Sanitary District provides the city’s wastewater system. Appears to meet current community needs and capacity expansion and discharge quality challenges are being addressed to stay ahead of growth trends
Electric Power
• Electric power is provided by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) Challenges
• Climate change–rising ocean level will lift groundwater and push contaminants around; Diablo Water District is aware of the need for investments to protect quality and reliability • There is discussion but no solid plan for developing the waterfront • Appears to be limited downtown properties to support entrepreneurial development Tactical Recommendations
• The conventional structure is that cities operate water and wastewater services although services provided by private companies or through a utility district, like in Oakley, are seen in some parts of the country. Risk mitigation is the foremost consideration when companies are looking for a location to invest and create jobs. This is especially important when dealing with receiving and possibly expanding water/sewer services, building codes, zoning, road infrastructure, taxation, etc.
Competitive communities ensure the user experience is seamless and hassle free—the definition of a “business friendly” community. Whether water/sewer services are under Oakley control, or remain as they are, the goal is to meet customer expectations. • Focus on preparing 40 acres for a business park that will support light industrial development and be attractive to businesses thereby diversifying the local economy and creating higher-paying jobs.
Build out of the 40 acres could accommodate more than 700,000 square feet of light industrial building space (Figure 8).
• Continue to work on building a secure and fast fiber optic network in Oakley’s business and residential neighborhoods. Connectivity is a critical element to a business’ location decision. The popularity of remote working increases the importance communities should be placing on building the network to deliver optimal services.
• Stay involved to ensure the city’s needs and plans are represented in regional economic development efforts and that the city has access to tools and future funding resources, e.g., Plan Bay Area 2050, Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative, East Bay EDA projects, Contra Costa Economic Partnership, etc.
• Stay involved and leverage the currently underway Resilient East Bay Industrial Land Use Analysis and the East Bay Industrial Land Use Toolkit to support Oakley’s efforts to attract small to mid-sized businesses in the manufacturing, goods movement, and biomedical/life sciences sectors 219
City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 19 • Have documentation from city departments and partner agencies of infrastructure costs (rates and connection fees for water, wastewater, etc.) and permitting process to be able to communicate Oakley’s competitive position
• Prepare and maintain an inventory of sites for new commercial and industrial development with details on the infrastructure and development status and costs; LOIS is recommended for features, ease of use, and cost
• Continue making downtown streetscape and revitalization improvements in preparation for the Amtrak station and additional traffic

Quality of place investment helps employers attract and retain skilled workers and professionals. Achieving and maintaining a quality community requires continued engagement and ongoing investment in infrastructure and cultural amenities.
Oakley’s Competitive Position
Demographics
• Five-year average annual growth rate of the median
household income in Oakley (5%) is on par with the
County (5.9%) and better than the comparison cities
(about 4%)
• Cost of living index is lower than countywide
• Share of population living below poverty (7%) is lower than countywide and Antioch, higher than Brentwood or
Benicia
• Oakley is a safer community than comparison cities. 2021 annual property crimes were 14 per 1,000 population; violent crime rate was 1.5 per 1,000 population • Five-year average annual population growth (1.8%) is slightly better than County (1.2%) • The median household income growth rate (5%) is on par with County (5.9%), better than comparable cities in the region (about 4%)
Housing1
• Most of the people living in Oakley commute to other areas for employment; home values in Oakley are much more
affordable relative to the rest of the Bay Area but the price of homes for sale and rent are increasing dramatically
Education2
• Excellent graduation rate in Oakley’s one high school, 98% in the 2022 academic year
• About 62% enroll in some postsecondary schooling
• Academic performance in English and Math are low

City of Oakley 2023 Economic Development Work Plan Page 21 Land Use Planning
• The General Plan addresses the need for continued support for industrial development including land available for manufacturing jobs
• Downtown development efforts are a great start at enhancing Oakley’s identity (e.g., train station project)
Challenges
• Community appearance in several
privately-owned areas beyond the
downtown needs improving e.g.,
waterfront access, marinas,
waterfront property
• Unbalanced focus on retail and
high-cost housing while neglecting
non-retail jobs, worker-affordable housing and diverse housing options • 91% of the housing units are single family homes; there are few worker-affordable housing units or rentals, the rental vacancy rate was just 1% at the time the housing element was prepared • There are no emergency housing shelters in Oakley3
Tactical Recommendations
• Support efforts to improve appearance and amenities throughout the city • Continue working on downtown and establishing services around the Amtrak station for workers and residents
• Move forward quickly with a concrete
plan for waterfront development, 55-acre
Oakley Regional Park, and continue
working with partner organizations and
landowners to clean up, make
improvements to waterfront properties,
and plan for future uses

Operations
A community’s economic development success depends on
leadership’s support, including an agreed upon vision for the future, goals, and sufficient financial and human resources to implement an adopted program.
Oakley’s Competitive Position
• Professional, approachable and service-oriented city staff • Convergence on industry targets among educators,
economic development organizations, and city
government
Challenges
• Limited staff and financial resources for implementing a strong proactive marketing, business attraction, and
business retention program

specific budget for marketing and program implementation • Community actions on economic development are not
aligned with job-creating trends in the region nor with attracting businesses that will diversify the local economy e.g., manufacturing, professional services, research and development
Tactical Recommendations
• Support and assist current efforts to establish an Oakley Chamber of Commerce
• Ensure a sufficient budget is available to support
economic development goals and activities
• Establish a standalone website focused on economic
development
• Prepare necessary economic development marketing and
prospect response pieces to support business
development efforts (much of this can be accomplished
through a LOIS subscription)

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Mayor to Sign and Send Letters of Support or Opposition to Legislation
Background and Analysis
Legislative issues frequently arise at the local, state and federal level that are directly relevant to or impact the provision of municipal services. In general, the City does not address matters that are not pertinent to the City’s local government services unless specifically considered by the City Council. The primary objective of the proposed resolution is to streamline the advocacy process allowing staff to quickly prepare letters of support or opposition based on the City’s goals, objectives, policies, and strategic plan.
Staff believes it is in the best interest of the City to establish a policy authorizing the City Manager or Mayor to send a letter of support or opposition on behalf of the City regarding legislative issues or projects that meet certain criteria.
Staff has identified the following two primary guiding principles for the City’s advocacy position:
Preservation of Local Funding
1. The City supports the protection of federal, state and local funding sources and new programs or projects that strengthen or increase revenue to the City of Oakley and the authorities that provide revenue to the City of Oakley. The City opposes any unfunded or inadequately funded mandates for which there is no guarantee of local reimbursement or offsetting benefits.
Preservation of Local Authority
2. The City supports local decision-making authority and legislation that enhances local control and opposes pre-emption of local control. The City was created by the residents to provide local self-government and to make decisions at the local level that best meet the needs of the community; Oakley has unique needs and characteristics that are best met by policies set by its local governing body.
The City opposes statewide efforts to remove the ability to set policy at the local level and supports efforts that allow flexibility by the City to meet goals and mandates efficiently and effectively.

TO: City Council
FROM: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution (1) Declaring as exempt surplus property the real property located at 3080 Main Street (APN 037-200-011); (2) Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Kent A. Ipsen concerning this property; and (3) Finding the declaration of surplus property and authorization for sale are categorically exempt under the “class 12” exemption of the California Environmental Quality Act
Background and Analysis
The Mr. Pickle’s business is housed within property the City owns. The City has owned the property since 2010, when the former Redevelopment Agency acquired the property at 3080 Main Street for the purposes of redeveloping the property with a new building that could be used for either retail or restaurant tenants. Since that time, there have been a total of two business’s that have occupied the space, with the most current being Mr. Pickle’s.
Mr. Pickle’s assumed the lease from the prior tenant on January 15, 2015. On April 1, 2020, the City amended the lease to include several provisions as follows:
Extended the term of the lease agreement by five (5) years, commencing on April 1, 2020 and extended for an additional five (5) years by mutual agreement of both parties in writing.
Increased the monthly rent to $1,850 and allowed for an annual 3% escalation of the rent for the life of the lease.
Explicitly stated that the Lessee would pay all CAM and possessory use tax to the County for the life of the lease.
As with any current lease associated with a property that is being sold to a new owner, the new owner of the property would have to assume and honor the previously agreed to lease agreement with Mr. Pickle’s.
An appraisal was done in February of this year to determine the value of property using the income approach. The current lease for Mr. Pickles runs through 2025 with an option that allows both parties to mutually agree to extend to 2030. It was always the intent of the City to extend the lease which would ensure we have a quality tenant in the Approved and

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.CI.Oakley.CA.US building. With that extension, it was always presumed that the below market rate rent that the tenant is paying would remain below market until at least 2030, when the lease would have to be renegotiated. Because of the below market rate rent and the seven years that remain on the lease, the income approach yielded a value of $348,500. A condition of the sale will require the City and Mr. Pickle’s to formally document that additional five year extension.
The City recently closed escrow on the Skipolini’s building, the building directly west of the Mr. Pickle’s building, and that property is no longer under City control. With that sale, the opportunity to sell the building at 3080 Main Street presented itself as the owner of the Skipolini’s building now wants to purchase the 3080 Main Street property.
Having one owner control the two properties is ideal from a property management standpoint.
It should be noted that the sale of this property involves “surplus exempt property,” as that term is defined under Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(B), and is not subject to the requirements of the Surplus Land Act, because the Property (i) is less than 5,000 square feet in area; (ii) is not contiguous to publicly owned property used for open space or low- or moderate-income housing purposes; and (iii) is being sold to the owner of the contiguous 3070 Main Street/Skipolini’s Property.
Although there is nothing in the current lease that requires the property to be sold, City Staff would like to sell the property and remove the City from being the property manager. It takes resources to manage this property, as well as others the City owns.
In an effort to reduce the time our Economic Development Staff spends on managing the property, which can be used more efficiently in other areas, as well as generate some revenue for other priorities, this proposal accomplishes both of those goals.
Approval of this item would allow the City to formally enter into the attached Purchase and Sale Agreement, thereby formally agreeing to sell the property Kent A. Ipsen. Staff is supportive of this agreement and is recommending approval. The sale of the property will now shift the maintenance and upkeep to the new owner while also allowing for additional investment into the City and our Downtown.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Community and Economic Development goal of Strategic and Thoughtful Growth, specifically the sub-objective that points to the City revitalizing and drawing people into the downtown through the sale of City-owned property based on community benefit.

SUBJECT: Report Regarding Recent Legislation Authorizing Increases in the Salaries of City Councilmembers
Background and Analysis
This Staff Report provides a summary of Senate Bill 329 ( SB 329 ), which pertains to the increase in pay and compliance procedures for general law city council members. This discussion is provided in response to the recent request of the Council that potential increases in councilmember salaries be considered.
Currently, councilmembers receive $456.75 a month for your services. This amount was set in accordance with existing law, and was last adjusted for an inflationary in 2014.
Summary
Signed by Governor Newsom on June 29, 2023, SB 329 increases the maximum amount of salary that can be approved by city ordinance based on different population thresholds. The last preceding federal census or a subsequent census shall determine the applicable population. The maximum rates are as follows (the tier for the City population is highlighted in bold text):
POPULATION MAXIMUM MONTHLY SALARY
Up to 35,000 = $950
35,001 to 50,000 = $1,275
50,001 to 75,000 = $1,600
75,001 to 150,000 = $1,900
150,001 to
250,000
= $2,550
Over 250,000 = $3,200
Limitations on Salary Increases
Future automatic increases in salary are not allowed. However, SB 329 allows councilmember salaries to be increased beyond the specified maximums by Approved and

1. 5% per calendar year since the last adjustment; or
2. An amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based on the California Consumer Price Index (no more than 10% per calendar year) Open Session Requirement
To comply with SB 329, the City Council must discuss the proposed ordinance to increase compensation in an open session with at least two regular meetings:
1. First Meeting: At the first meeting, present the proposed ordinance with findings demonstrating the need for increased compensation.
2. Second Meeting: At least seven days after the first meeting, hold a second meeting to consider adopting the ordinance.
Compensation Limitation
The compensation for councilmembers may also compensate councilmembers for their work on commissions, committees, boards, or similar bodies. This additional compensation may not exceed $150 per month per entity unless specifically authorized by another statute. Retirement, health and welfare, and federal social security benefits are not included in the salary rates.
As a note, a councilmember may waive any or all of the compensation. In addition, as stated in Government Code section 36516.5, any raise in councilmember salary can only be implemented if a councilmember begins a new term.
Effective Date
SB 329 will become effective on January 1, 2024.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The proposed action is consistent with The City’s Sustainable Organization Goal.
Fiscal Impact
If the City Council authorizes salary increases, there would be additional annual costs associated with councilmember salaries. The potential increases would depend on whether the Council authorizes salary increases and the amount of the increases authorized.
