4. Video Promotions
a. This spring and summer, the HID has approved updated videography for establishments who have recently undergone significant renovations to create a new video campaign. b. The new video campaign will be used for in-flight marketing in partnership with Monterey Regional Airport airlines, as well as in-airport video screens and marketing banners.
5. Promotional Brochures
a. In January 2024, our tourist guide was updated, slightly re-designed and published 34,000 copies to distribute throughout the year.
b. Printed materials are still frequently requested by travel partners; however, our Guide to Pacific Grove is also published on our website as a digital flipbook so we can also utilize QR codes in all of our marketing to point toward it. c. Again this year our Tourist Information Center, as well as a special feature on Pacific Grove’s Magic Carpet, has been added to the Central Coast Tourism Council’s map/brochure, gaining additional visibility.
6. Distribution Services
a. The HID funded the distribution of the tourist guide to key locations in the County as well as San Jose airport.
b. Certified Folder Display Services is a company that specializes in delivery of brochures in California. The company distributes the guide on behalf of the HID. We also utilize storage space in Certified Folder’s unit to keep our fees down.
Key Goals for 2024 – 2025
1. Educate and support local innkeepers in developing stronger relationships with SeeMonterey. It is critical to take advantage of the services and elevation of PG-owned strategic marketing offered by the SeeMonterey, to which our properties are now contributing a larger portion of their self-assessment.
2. Continue to collaborate with internationally recognized organizations that benefit Pacific Grove such as Asilomar Conference Grounds, CourseCo Inc., Pebble Beach Co., the Monterey Bay Aquarium, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and others.
3. Promote Pacific Grove during major events in the area such as the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Monterey Jazz Festival, Car Week, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca event series, US Open, Monterey Bay Half Marathon, and at our one and only professional ball club - Monterey Bay Football Club.
4. Subsidize marketing opportunities that may not be affordable to small innkeepers.
5. Research and evaluate additional Canadian travel marketing opportunities.
6. Introduce new local’s insider destination exploration videos on a variety of social media channels, including additional paid content.
7. Consider curated influencer stays, to highlight how to be a compassionate visitor to our destination.
8. The Chamber continues converting all possible messages and images to reflect the new branding completed in April 2020. Since our new Chamber/Destination website rolled out in the summer of 2022, we continue to build in, “Book Direct” messaging.

Post Office Box 167 • Pacific Grove, CA 93950 • 831-373-3304 • pacificgrove.org
9. Research & Develop a Lodging Quality Assurance (LQA) Program to ensure our lodging partners are provided with information and tools to consistently improve lodging standards, and that visitors to Pacific Grove always experience the finest in accommodations.
10. Develop a Certified Vendor Program to assist the area’s lodging partners on reaching higher LQA ratings. The program would educate vendors on the LQA rating system so they can assist property owners with purchasing high quality products that correspond with inspection qualifications.
11. Evaluate and consider supporting new opportunities that will benefit the lodging establishments.
Reserve
Typically, the HID maintains a reserve of one year of operation. This is mainly due to the lease of the tourist center. In FY 24/25, the HID plans to implement a new policy indicating a specific percentage (such as 20%) in annual reserves each FY.
In the unlikely event that the HID is dissolved, the center will remain operational for as long as possible until an alternative funding source is created.
Forecasted Expenses Through June 30, 2024
Marketing Opportunities $ 12,000
Marketing Support Events $ 2,000
Online Marketing $ 10,000
Print Media $ 8,000
Promotion and Signage $ 3,000
Visitor Center Lease $ 17,600

Due to Council agenda deadlines, this report was submitted by March 1, 2024, as requested by the City.
The Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce is confident that travel sentiment has turned a corner; however, we are cautiously optimistic that we’ll see strong occupancy numbers amidst a Presidential election year, when visitors are traditionally timid in advanced planning. Adjustments will be made accordingly if/when needed.

In 2000, the City established the Downtown Pacific Grove Business Improvement District (BID), appointed an advisory board, and levied assessments for the District. The assessments may be used only for the promotion, marketing and advertising of professional and retail businesses located in the district, and for general maintenance to benefit those businesses. All businesses located in the BID are assessed an amount equal to 35% of their business license tax. The assessment is collected together with the business license tax payment in July of each assessment year. Since its formation in 2000, the BID and assessments have been annually reauthorized.
At its April 17, 2024, meeting, the City Council approved a resolution of intent to levy the BID assessment for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 and set a public hearing to consider the levy for May 15, 2024. California Streets and Highways Code Section 36525 provides that the District shall not be formed if written protests are received from the owners of businesses in the proposed area that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied.

Introduction
As all businesses nationwide navigate the new normal post pandemic, there have been hopeful signs of a rebounding economy juxtaposed with the continued challenging landscape of rebuilding lost workforce. The following are a few examples of successes and challenges. • Pacific Grove sales tax reports show full rebounding; however, that is only part of complex picture. A recent voter approved sales tax increase contributed to the rise in sales tax revenues, but the cost of consumer goods and services have increased to absorb economic factors such as supply chain issues, increased cost of raw materials as well as the higher cost of payroll. So, while the sales tax report data indicates a robust rebound, exceeding pre-pandemic levels, most businesses are seeing little to no growth in their bottom line. • Employers in coastal communities, such as Pacific Grove, compete heavily for out of the directarea workforce, due to a myriad of factors including a lack of localized workforce housing, dwindling access to public transportation, and a decades long decline in high school student job seeking. This dynamic creates a challenge for employers to attract and retain talent. And while consumers are robustly venturing back out of their homes to shop and dine, businesses still struggle with consistency in their workforce. However, recent signs are pointing towards stabilization.
• Several downtown anchors such as the former Bank of America and Chase Bank buildings have been purchased, but redevelopment plans have been largely slow moving, creating the perception of vacant spaces, as well as current construction and changing of tenants. For instance, a new retail shop in the former Rockstar Dance space, Hops & Fog Brewery and Pop & Hiss are all under construction and will have openings mid-2024. The completed 520 Lighthouse building and leasing of the remaining commercial spaces, as well as the former Crema building (recently purchased with the new owners hoping to open something similar), should soon draw attention to the far end of Lighthouse Avenue. There is currently only one vacancy in the Central Avenue business district, a new donut shop opening soon and one additional vacancy at Forest Hill Plaza, and the long time vacant space next to Starbucks in Country Club Gate Plaza recently saw the opening of Jersey Mike’s Subs. Specific plans for the former, Bank of America, Chase Bank building, the front portion of the former Pier One building, and Hambrook’s Auction House are still unknown at this time.
• One sector that continued to be in high demand this year and showed overall healthy revenues was outdoor dining. Pacific Grove’s parklet program attracted visitors and locals alike to our downtown district, especially in the evenings and on weekends. • Another industry that has contributed to a rebounding, healthier economic outlook for Pacific Grove is home décor and home renovation businesses. Home sales continue to be strong, which have a positive effect on this industry sector.

Agenda No. 12 A
CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joyce Halabi, Deputy Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: May 15, 2024
SUBJECT: FY24/25 Capital Improvement Plan & SB1 Project List CEQA: Does not constitute a Project per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and approve the FY 24/25 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to include in the Operating Budget, and
1. 2. Approve a resolution adopting the FY24/25 SB1 Project List.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND
Prior to the start of each fiscal year, the City adopts an annual budget. There are two primary components to the City’s annual budget: the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and the Operating Budget. Council Policy 400-6, Budget and Financial Management, defines a Capital Improvement or asset as buildings, machinery or equipment, with an original cost in excess of $5,000 and a useful life of three years or more.
The CIP is a long-range plan that:
1. Identifies capital projects
2. Provides an implementation schedule
3. Identifies project financing
4. Links projects to Council's strategic goals and initiatives
5. Links capital projects to budgets, and
6. Provides project information and justification
Adopting a CIP allows systematic and comparative evaluation of multiple potential projects at the same time. The CIP serves as a public relations and economic development tool and focuses on preserving infrastructure while ensuring efficient use of public funds. Additionally, the CIP promotes coordination of projects across City departments and helps identify efforts that may qualify for alternate funding.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE FY24/25 CIP
The CIP process begins with a call for project submissions from Staff, the City Council, and the City’s boards, committees, and commissions. Generally, submitted projects are identified and based upon:
PGCC 5-15-24
Input from the community received throughout the year
Input from Mayor and City Council, as well as City Board, Committees, and Commissions on needs that developed or are identified during the year
Identified projects based on critical needs, including those due to safety issues or to comply with new mandates
CIP Project Review Process
Following the submittal process, each project proposal is reviewed from a variety of approaches and criteria before it is recommended for inclusion in the CIP. These include:
Greatest need (ex: mandates and public safety)
Alignment with Council strategic goals and initiatives
Consequences of delay (ex: potential to incur increased costs, asset preservation) Readiness
Feasibility
Opportunities to accomplish multiple goals or align timing with another project(s) Availability of funding (ex: grants)
Under the direction of the City Manager, the Public Works and Administrative Services Departments review the proposed projects and prepare the CIP for submission to the Mayor and City Council. The proposed CIP is then presented, discussed, and acted upon by the City Council in public sessions during the budget hearings.
FY24/25 PROPOSED CIP
The proposed CIP includes a total of 14 projects:
2 Multi-Funded Projects (funded via General Fund & Non-General Fund sources) 1 General Fund Project
11 Non-General Fund Projects
These proposed projects aim to address aging and damaged infrastructure, complete required maintenance, and protect the environment. Ultimately, the proposed CIP only includes projects that:
Are required to meet annual Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements to be eligible for Measure X and Senate Bill 1 funding, (Street Rehabilitation Project & Crack/Slurry Seal Project) Are required to meet conditions of approval associated with an approved development project (Pedestrian Safety at Central Ave & Fountain Ave), and
Address vital maintenance needs & facility improvements via dedicated Non-General Fund sources
The detailed list of projects, along with their descriptions and requested budgets, is attached (Attachment 1– Project List) Each of the projects also has a corresponding project information sheet (Attachment 2). This sheet serves as a summary of the project and includes a description, scope of work, purpose of the project, funding sources and photos.
Overview of Multi-Funded Projects
There are two (2) proposed Multi-Funded Projects:
1. FY24/25 Street Rehabilitation Project
2. FY24/25 Crack and Slurry Seal
These projects, funded from a combination of general fund and non-general fund sources, address the City’s aging road infrastructure network. With a combined $500,000 General Fund allocation, they meet Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements for continued Measure X and Senate Bill 1 Funding.
Both projects are crucial investments for improving the City’s pavement condition index rating and overall pavement health. The Street Rehabilitation Project targets roads rapidly deteriorating or in poor PGCC 5-15-24
condition, while the Crack & Slurry Seal Project aims to protect and preserve good roadways for long-term durability.
Both projects are crucial investments for improving the City’s pavement condition index rating and overall pavement health. The Street Rehabilitation Project targets roads rapidly deteriorating or in poor condition, while the Crack & Slurry Seal Project aims to protect and preserve good roadways for long-term durability.
General Fund Project Overview
1 Proposed Project
Due to limited availability of General Funds, only one (1) project is proposed, the Pedestrian Safety at Central & Fountain Avenues Project. This project, with a budget of $270,000, is mandated and associated with the Pacific Grove Hotel Project (PG Hotel Project) at 157 Grand Avenue, opposite the Pacific Grove Library.
The Pedestrian Safety Project is a requirement outlined in the project’s Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and is specified as a Condition of Approval (#11) in City Council Resolution 22-012. It involves redesigning the Central Avenue and Fountain Avenue intersection to create an All-Way stop intersection, as specified in the EIR. Additionally, it includes resurfacing the road from Central Avenue between Grand and Fountain Avenues, addressing its poor pavement condition (Rated a PCI of 37 out of 100). The total cost is estimated at $270,000.
Resolution 22-012 mandates the hotel project applicant to cover 25% of the design and construction costs for the intersection reconfiguration. The entire construction budget is sourced from the General Fund, with the applicant reimbursing the City 25% of the total cost prior to occupancy being granted.
This will result in a net impact of $202,500 on the General Fund.
Construction of the PG hotel began in October 2023, with an estimated timeline of 24 months for completion. To allow adequate time for project design/engineering, Coastal Development Permit (CDP) acquisition (as the project is within the coastal zone), bidding, and construction prior to the hotel's opening, the City must allocate funding and commence the project in FY24/25.
In addition to being a mandatory project, it enhances pedestrian safety near key City attractions such as the Public Library, Museum of Natural History, Jewell Park, and the Downtown Corridor. The intersection also serves as access to the coastline and Recreation Trail from downtown.
Overview of Non-General Fund Projects
There are 11 proposed Non-General Fund Projects addressing critical infrastructure needs:
6 projects target failing or damaged City-owned infrastructure, including roof repairs, flooring replacement, and vital facility infrastructure and sewer replacements.
Delaying these projects could lead to increased costs and operational impacts. 1 project focuses on resolving a safety hazard on the heavily utilized Recreation Trail.
Staff temporarily modified the trail's layout at Esplanade Park, diverting pedestrians away from narrow sections and cliff drop-offs by encroaching into the roadway. However, a permanent solution, which this project aims to provide, is urgently needed. 1 project aims to address a long-standing stormwater infrastructure deficiency 1 project focuses on separating electrical infrastructure at the Lighthouse This aligns with the stipulations on the approved deed from the US Coast Guard 2 projects fall under CourseCo's responsibility as the golf course lessee, funded through externally managed CIP funds as per the lease agreement.
These additions to the CIP sheet aim to enhance transparency regarding City facility PGCC 5-15-24
projects.
Note that reporting intervals for these projects may differ from City-managed projects.
CIP and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) The CIP document is a planning document; it does not constitute approval of any specific project.
Following budget adoption, staff will assess and address the CEQA process that applies to each individual project. Projects that exceed the City Manager's spending authority will return for Council approval; agenda reports will include an assessment of the CEQA determination.
Unfunded Projects
Multiple projects have been deferred due to funding constraints, as outlined in Attachment 3, the Unfunded Project List. These projects encompass a variety of areas, including recreation enhancements, beautification initiatives, facility upgrades, and stormwater infrastructure improvements.
The Public Works Department has prioritized the top 10 project submissions based on urgency, the consequences of delaying them, and their feasibility. Projects addressing failing city-owned infrastructure have been given the highest priority from a Public Works perspective.
Among the Unfunded Project List are priorities identified by the City Council - including the Sidewalk Extensions for Outdoor Dining (Parklets) and the Lovers Point Pier. However, due to their high estimated costs, limited available funding, and inability to phase or reduce funding requests, these projects remain on the unfunded list.
Additionally, other projects reviewed by the Council during the 23/24 fiscal year, such as the Great Tide Pool Site and the Chinese Pavilion, remain unfunded. Discussions with FEMA concerning an extension for the Great Tide Pool Site project are ongoing; a formal extension is necessary to qualify for FEMA reimbursements. Meanwhile, staff awaits fundraising efforts by the Monterey Bay Chinese Association prior to the addition of the Chinese Pavilion into the CIP. Staff expects to formally recommend their inclusion in the CIP during the mid-year budget process.
Furthermore, various facility projects are included on the unfunded list. An agreement has been executed with Bureau Veritas, a consulting firm, to conduct Facility Conditions Assessments for the Police Station, Fire Station, Youth Center, City Hall, and the Public Works Corporation Yard. These assessments will provide the City with a comprehensive overview of necessary facility improvements, cost estimates, and project prioritization to optimize the use of limited funds. Consequently, staff recommends deferring all non-essential facility improvements until the assessment results are available, expected in the first quarter of FY24/25.
POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL GENERAL FUND PROJECTS
$850,000 of General Funds are available for allocation towards CIP projects in the FY24/25 cycle.
Currently, City staff has designated $770,000 for three (3) mandatory projects (noted below), leaving $80,000 of unallocated General Funds. However, due to the 25% reimbursement of the total cost of the Pedestrian Safety Project applicant, an additional $67,500 is available, bringing the total to $147,500.

The City Council has the option to allocate the remaining $147,500. However, considering the forthcoming Facility Conditions Assessments, staff recommends leaving these funds unallocated until the assessment results are available. These results will provide valuable insights into both short-term and long-term facility needs, guiding decisions on priority areas and allowing the Council to more clearly compare, understand, and assess the competing priorities. Staff intends to return with the Facility Conditions Assessment results and the Unfunded Project List for reconsideration, and allocation of the above noted remaining funds, $147,500, in the second quarter of the fiscal year.
Alternatively, the Council may choose to provide specific directives on funding particular projects for inclusion in the FY24/25 CIP.
SENATE BILL 1 PROJECT LIST
As part of the CIP process, Staff is recommending approval of a Resolution adopting the Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Project List (Attachment 4). SB 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017. SB1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of Pacific Grove are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year. One such provision is a requirement that the City adopt a resolution of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) by July 1 of each year.
The City is estimated to receive $382,887 in RMRA funding in FY2024/25. As indicated in the attached Project List, the City is planning to use this funding, in conjunction with Measure X, the General Fund, and the Sewer Fund to complete essential road rehabilitation and maintenance as prescribed in the City’s Pavement Management Program. Specifically, SB1 funds will be allocated to the FY24/25 Street Rehabilitation Project, which will address the following two (2) segments of roadway:
1. Forest Avenue from Sunset Drive to Spazier Avenue
2. 19th Street from Sunset Drive to Sinex Avenue
The attached SB1 project list includes a detailed project description, project location, proposed schedule for completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
This is the seventh year the City will receive SB 1 funding which will enable essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1.
FUTURE OF THE CIP
Staff is currently in the process of revamping the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) process to enhance PGCC 5-15-24
the tracking, allocation, and management of deteriorating City infrastructure more efficiently. The objective is to adopt a proactive approach and gain a comprehensive understanding of infrastructure needs and associated costs in the long term. Historically, the CIP process has been reactive, primarily focused on addressing failing infrastructure without a holistic understanding of future needs.
The establishment of a Pavement Management Program (PMP) in 2019 provided the City with a roadmap for addressing overarching pavement needs, a crucial aspect of the City’s infrastructure portfolio. The PMP enabled the City to more efficiently and proactively manage aging road infrastructure, by maintaining roads in good condition (maximizing remaining service life) and addresses failed road segments, all within the constraints of limited funds. Collaborating with the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), the City refreshed pavement data in 2023, affirming that the use of the PMP has led to improved pavement conditions, with an overall increase of 5 points in the PCI rating within the first 5 years of implementation.
In early 2024, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for City Facility Conditions Assessments for various facilities, including the Fire Station, Police Station, City Hall, Youth Center, and Public Works Corporation Yard. These assessments aim to provide the City with a comprehensive understanding of facility needs, similar to the PMP's approach for pavement management. This will facilitate better management and tracking of infrastructure improvements, ensuring that limited resources are allocated and addressed promptly without delays. While initially assessing five City facilities, staff anticipates securing funding in the future to assess all City facilities, enabling a more comprehensive approach.
To enhance transparency, City staff has implemented measures to clearly communicate the progress of CIP projects and funding, including quarterly CIP financial reports and the utilization of Clear Gov for project tracking. Each project has a dedicated webpage updated quarterly with progress on milestones and funding, allowing interested parties to subscribe for email updates. Staff is currently updating project pages to present a FY22/23 CIP Recap to Council by fiscal year-end.
In the future, Public Works staff aim to collaborate with the Administrative Services Department to revise the definition of a CIP project, potentially increasing the threshold to avoid unnecessary inclusion of maintenance-type projects in the CIP, which could be funded through the operating budget.
Overall, these initiatives enhance the City's capacity to effectively manage and address infrastructure needs over the long term.

Recreation Trail
ImprovementsEsplanade Park Parks & Recreation Multi-Year Project Non-General Fund Fund 46 Strong Disbursement Fund 46-461-6021 In Perkins Park, the Recreation Trail adjacent to Esplanade Park from Beach Street to Coral Street consists of a thin band of land which keeps getting thinner due to coastal erosion, particularly around Esplanade Park. Just east of Esplanade, the otherwise continuous shoreline trail essentially disappears for a stretch, forcing pedestrians onto a thin strip of dirt right next to Ocean View Boulevard. The Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) proposed conceptual improvements . The SMP suggest eliminating the ocean-side parking lane and shifting the street curb inland by 7–8 feet, reclaiming approximately 500 feet of space for a pedestrian trail. This would entail the potential loss of about 25 on-street parking spaces. The SMP stated design details would be refined in collaboration with the public and stakeholders, with efforts to mitigate the loss of parking where possible.This multi-year project initiates the process of addressing the unsafe conditions on the Recreation Trail at this specific location. Year 1 will involve public outreach and design, while Year 2 will focus on permitting, bidding, and construction.

Project Description
In Perkins Park, the Recreation Trail adjacent to Esplanade Park from Beach Street to Coral Street consists of a thin band of land which keeps getting thinner due to coastal erosion, particularly around Esplanade Park. Just east of Esplanade, the otherwise continuous shoreline trail essentially disappears for a stretch, forcing pedestrians onto a thin strip of dirt right next to Ocean View Boulevard.
The Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) proposed conceptual improvements . The SMP suggest eliminating the ocean-side parking lane and shifting the street curb inland by 7–8 feet, reclaiming approximately 500 feet of space for a pedestrian trail. This would entail the potential loss of about 25 on-street parking spaces. The SMP stated design details would be refined in collaboration with the public and stakeholders, with efforts to mitigate the loss of parking where possible.
This multi-year project initiates the process of addressing the unsafe conditions on the Recreation Trail at this specific location. Year 1 will involve public outreach and design, while Year 2 will focus on permitting, bidding, and construction.

11 Del Monte Blvd Stormwater Improvements Stormwater
Stormwater improvements on the failed section of Del Monte Blvd have been discussed for years. The project was split into phases due to unavailability of funding and lack of formal stormwater funding. In FY22/24. Phase 1 of the Del Monte Blvd. Stormwater Project was completed. The scope of work included:
replacement of 390 LF of failed stormwater pipe, reconstruction of 1 catch basin, construction of 2 new catch basins, and installation of 3 stormwater access manholes.
This project proposes funding the scope of work for Phase 2, which includes completing the remaining storm drain segment to the east of where Phase 1 left off up to Spray St. including replacing an 18” crossing toward Companion Way.
The scope of work for Phase 3 is to continue a new 24” storm drain along Del Monte to the west to Coral St., then down Coral to connect to an existing to an existing line. Additional storm drain improvement are proposed between the Balboa and Shell Ave. intersections.
In 2021, the project was approved for inclusion in the
FY21/22 CIP with a $150,000 budget derived from the
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds (Ord. 21-027).
An additional $75,000 allocation from the General Fund
and $75,524 from the Strong Disbursement Fund in
FY22/23 which brought the full Phase 1 project budget to $300,524.
Stormwater improvements are vital. Additionally the roadway is in a deteriorated and failed state and will continue to be deferred until underground stormwater improvements can
be made.

The Lovers Point Pier Repair and Restoration project is a multi-year project that addresses damage sustained during January 2021 winter storms, with the seaward tip of the pier affected by wave runup and impact forces. Given limited information on the pier's structure, additional exploration was deemed necessary, leading to the closure of the pier tip for safety reasons. With a $100,000 allocation from the FY21/22 Capital Improvement Program, an agreement with GHD was authorized by the City Council in December 2021. The scope included comprehensive investigations, conditions assessment, interim repair design, and permit and grant support. At the June 21, 2023 meeting, the Council reviewed findings and opted to proceed with the near-term repair option, while also requesting further details on the estimated costs and grant opportunities for the long-term solution.
The projected construction cost for the near-term option is $1.45 million. Staff recommends allocating 15% of this construction estimate to enable the City to pursue grant funding. Typical grant matches range from 15% to 25%.

This project would allow for installation of a prefabricated restroom to replace the existing bathroom.
This is a multi-year project with year 1 allowing for permitting and environmental, and year 2 allowing for construction/installation.
The funding for this project was initially allocated in the FY22/23 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) but was
rescinded on May 1, 2024. The remaining budget
earmarked for this project was reallocated to the Fire
Station Bathroom Shower & Remodel Project due to
time constraints preventing completion before the ARPA
deadline.

"Bubble ups" are when two storm drain inlets (on either side of the road) are connected to each other but not to a larger main storm drain pipe. Bubble-ups allow runoff to enter the inlet and settle for sediment removal and prevent water from puddling on the roadway. However, overtime and during rain events, the bubble ups become full of stagnant water, produce an unpleasant smell, and attract mosquito larva. Improvements can be made by connecting the bubble ups to the storm drain network, in specific areas where existing pipes have been installed to allow for connection.

This multi-year project involves engineering, designing, and constructing an ADA-compliant sidewalk on David Avenue from Patterson Lane to Montecito Ave. It includes retaining walls, rolled curb/stormwater improvements, and potential vegetation removal. Initially funded in the FY22/23 CIP, conceptual options for the sidewalk have been proposed by the City's engineer. However, due to cost constraints, additional funding is needed to complete all planned sidewalk elements. This project aims to establish safe routes to school for the Del Monte Park Neighborhood.
In the FY22/23 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the City Council approved $360,000 from the American Rescue
Plan Act (ARPA) funding for the David Avenue Sidewalk
Project. During the budget meeting on July 13, 2023, the Council made the decision to reallocate $278,000 of
ARPA funds initially designated for the Skate Park and
Purple Pipe Projects to the David Avenue Sidewalk
project. This adjustment increased the project budget
from $360,000 to $638,000 for FY23/24.
The total cost for installing sidewalks amounts to $1.95M + engineering costs. This project is proposing phased
construction per block to pick up where the ARPA funds

This project would allow for paving of the driveway approach to the El Carmelo Cemetery administrative office and tool/supply shed. This area is currently unpaved and comprised of dirt. During the rainy season, the area turns to mud and poses a maintenance and asset preservation issue. As mud gets logged in the equipment, over time it can causes decay, corrosion, and irreparable damage. Through regular activity, the mud is spread throughout the paved areas of the cemetery creating additional maintenance and cleanup activities for staff.

The current fencing is unstable, with posts falling over and rope/cable sagging, which fails to provide a sufficient barrier between the public pathway and the treed sanctuary. The proposed split rail fencing will offer greater stability, ensuring the desired barrier and enhancing public safety.

Project Description:
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 aims to address the significant multimodal transportation funding shortfalls statewide and ensure basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on local streets/road systems are addressed.
The City of Pacific Grove will use the FY24/25 allocation, in its entirety, to perform street rehabilitation on the following two (2) segments of roadway:
1. Forest Avenue from Sunset Drive to Spazier Avenue (PCI 55)
2. 19th Street from Sunset Drive to Sinex Avenue (PCI 34) In total the project will include rehabilitation of approximately 109,000 SF of roadway.
How was the project identified as a priority?
The proposed segments were selected based on the City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP), public works maintenance logs, and existing pavement conditions. The selected road segments are characterized by aged and raveled pavements, cracks, lack of aesthetic appeal, prevalence of potholes, significant utility and trench line patches.
PGCC 5-15-24
FY 23/24 SB1 Project List
19TH STREET (SUNSET DR TO SINEX AVE)
The specified section of 19th Street currently has a "Poor" pavement condition rating with a PCI (Pavement Condition Index) of 34. It has not undergone any formal rehabilitation in over three decades. This portion of the roadway is heavily utilized by the local community, particularly as a route to access Pacific Grove High School and the main thoroughfare, Sunset Drive. Additionally, it serves as a designated bus route for local school buses.
Approximately twelve years ago, this section of 19th Street received a crack and slurry seal treatment, a form of maintenance aimed at preserving the road. Despite this effort, numerous patches and trenches now crisscross the roadway due to various repairs over the years, including utility repairs, pothole patches, and sewer lateral line repairs. The utility trench repairs have allowed water to infiltrate beneath the surface, exacerbating the damage, which, combined with the age of the road, has contributed to its current "poor" condition. Rehabilitation is imperative to address these issues.
FOREST AVE (SUNSET DR TO SPAZIER AVE)
The specified portion of Forest Avenue currently has a "Fair" pavement condition rating with a PCI of 55. While the roadway hasn't reached a state of failure, on-site observations indicate a rapid deterioration of its condition. Forest Avenue plays a vital role as a major arterial connecting various essential destinations such as the downtown corridor, Lovers Point/Coastline, several neighborhoods, Pacific Grove Middle School, and the adjacent routes leading out of town toward Monterey and SR68.
Consequently, it experiences heavy traffic flow. Remarkably, this section of roadway has not undergone any formal rehabilitation in over three decades.
Given its significant role as a thoroughfare, providing access to schools and commercial areas, coupled with its current condition and the absence of prior rehabilitation efforts, this segment has been prioritized for rehabilitation.
Coordination of Underground Infrastructure Repairs
In addition to their deteriorating condition, these two segments of roadway are primed for repair because they offer an opportunity to assess and, if necessary, fix the underground infrastructure. The City has allocated funds from the Sewer Enterprise Fund to the project, enabling the inspection and repair of sewer lines as needed. These underground infrastructure repairs will contribute to extending the lifespan of the road surface by reducing the occurrence of repair patches that allow water infiltration, thus PGCC 5-15-24
FY 23/24 SB1 Project List
slowing deterioration. Additionally, the City has coordinated with California American Water, the local water provider, to explore the possibility of repairing underground water infrastructure concurrently with the City's roadwork when the roadway is accessible.
Project Benefits
This project will produce long term benefits for residents of the City of Pacific Grove, as well as adjacent jurisdictions, by enhancing a sustainable transportation network that promotes mobility, improves quality of life, and generates vast improvements in public safety.

MEETING DATE: May 15, 2024
SUBJECT: Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) Enrollment Opt Up from 3Cchoice to 3Cprime
CEQA: Does not constitute a Project per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City to switch eligible electrical generation service to City properties from 3Cchoice to 3Cprime and encourage residents to participate in 3CE and 3Cprime through public outreach.
DISCUSSION
Central Coast Community Energy (3CE), a clean energy provider, is the primary electricity supplier to the City. 3CE operates as a community-owned not-for-profit organization that sources competitively priced electricity to more than 450,000 customers throughout the Central Coast, including agricultural, commercial and residential customers in communities located within Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz counties. 3CE is on path to achieving 100% clean and renewable energy by 2030 – 15 years ahead of the state’s goals. https://3cenergy.org/about-us/how-ccce-works/ The City of Pacific Grove is currently enrolled, wherever eligible, for 3Cchoice service. With 3Cchoice, ~35.8% of the energy mix comes from eligible renewables (based on the California Renewables Portfolio Standard). 3CE and its customers strive to meet the goals of 60% by 2025 and are on a pathway to achieving 100% clean and renewable energy by 2030. 3CE offers an option to support 100% renewable energy from solar and wind sources immediately by opting up to 3Cprime service. 3Cchoice and 3Cprime have a rate difference of 8/10 of a cent per kilowatt hour (kWh). In 2022 The City of Pacific Grove purchased a total of 1,095,401 kWh of electricity from 3CE. The estimated cost of the City switching from 3Cchoice to 3Cprime is estimated to be approximately $8,800 per year, throughout all of the City's PG&E service accounts. This estimate could be variable based on usage changes and potential future rate changes.
OPTIONS
1. Do nothing, remain enrolled in 3Cchoice.
2. Opt up to 3Cprime, support 100% Clean and Renewable Energy.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
An increase of 8/10ths of a cent per kWh of electricity purchased from 3CE, totaling approximately PGCC 5-15-24
