IMPACT OF UTILITY CUTS
The impact of utility cuts on pavement performance can vary significantly based on siteand agency-specific information. Such variables can include the existing pavement condition, structure, and age; location, orientation, and extent of the utility cut; environmental factors; traffic loads; and restoration practices and standards.
Quantification of utility cut impacts further depend on local maintenance treatments and costs. Therefore, to really understand the impact of utility cuts on roadway performance for a particular agency, a site-specific study and analysis must be performed.
That said, underground utility work can damage pavements in three general ways as illustrated in Figure 1. First, the act of cutting a pavement structure creates an easyaccess point for water to enter the pavement structure and damage the underlying pavement layers. Second, the removal of the pavement layers creates a plane of weakness where the pavement structure may not be adequately supported laterally – particularly during underground utility maintenance, but also after restoration. Third, the quality of the repair may not match the adjacent pavement structure, thus introducing roughness into the pavement. Rough pavements can cause vehicles to bounce, which creates greater loads on the pavement and leads to more rapid deterioration (Tarakji 1995; Wilde et al. 2002).
Figure 1. Utility Cut Damage Mechanisms
These deterioration mechanisms reduce the condition and structural capacity of a pavement, which reduces the life of the pavement within and adjacent to the utility cut (Stevens et al. 2010). Multiple utility cuts on the same street or within a small area can magnify this impact (Department of Public Works 1998, Tarakji 1995).
Reduction in Pavement Life
In the mid-1990s, San Francisco completed a study on the effect of utility cuts on the life of pavement (Tarakji 1995) and confirmed that additional damage was caused. Other

cities, including Austin, Cincinnati, Salt Lake City, Philadelphia, and Phoenix, conducted similar foundational studies and found that utility cuts not only reduced the expected life of the streets but consequently cost local agencies millions of dollars in premature street repair and remediation expenses (Arudi et al. 2000; Bodocsi et al. 1995; ERES 1990; NCE 2003; Peters 2002; Wilde et al. 1996).
For example, Bodocsi et al. (1995) reported that new asphalt pavements, which are typically designed to last between 15 and 20 years, once cut can lose as much as 8 years of pavement life. Other studies performed in Austin, Anaheim, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Phoenix estimated between 15 and 20 percent reductions in pavement life due to utility cuts (AMEC 2002; CHEC 1997; IMS 1994; Shahin and Associates 2017; Wilde et al. 1996). For a typical pavement design life of 20 years, this represents a loss of 3-4 years of pavement life.
Additional factors such as cold climates and multiple excavations can increase the impact of utility cuts. For example, utility cuts in areas subject to freeze-thaw conditions were estimated to reduce pavement life by 20 percent (AMEC 2002; Stevens et al. 2010).
Streets with multiple excavations for utility work were estimated to reduce a pavement’s life by 30 to 55 percent (Shahin and Associates 2017; Tarakji 1995; Tiewater 1997).
Statistical data reported by the Department of Public Works in San Francisco (1998) showed that the pavement condition rating decreases as the number of utility cuts increases. For example, the pavement condition index (PCI) for a newer pavement was reduced from 85 to 64 as the number of utility cuts increased to 10 or more.
Zone of Influence
As previously mentioned, a utility cut can result in a loss of lateral support to the existing pavement structure surrounding the perimeter of the trench. This can cause the trench sidewalls to bulge into the trench and weaken the material under the existing pavement.
This weakened area is termed the zone of influence, is illustrated in Figure 2.

Packet Pg. 355 Attachment: Attachment 1 - Utility Cut Impact Fee Report [Revision 1] (5013 : Resolution & Ordinances - Utility Cut Fee & Construction Vehicle July 31, 2021
Various studies have used deflection testing to investigate the loss of pavement strength near utility cuts, estimate the zone of influence, and provide recommendations on restoration (Bodosci et al 1995; Shahin 1999; CHEC 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000; NCE 2000, 2003). Such studies showed a substantial loss of strength in the zone of influence around the utility cut area (Stevens et al. 2010). For example, studies performed in Union City and Los Angeles showed that the deflection values within the zone of influence were 41- 74 percent higher than in uninfluenced pavement (CHEC 1998; Shahin and Associates 2017).
These studies also indicated that the zone of influence varies by agency and location but is most often 4 to 5 feet from the edge of the trench. Table 1 summarizes research estimating the zone of influence.

IMPORTANCE OF UTILITY CUT RESTORATION
As discussed previously, utility cuts can affect pavement performance in and adjacent to the cut area. The excavation equipment and process can also damage the pavement adjacent to the cut (Stevens et al. 2010). Simply backfilling the excavated area will not restore and match the strength and performance of the original material. Therefore, for long-term pavement performance within and adjacent to utility cuts, adequate repair and restoration is necessary.
It is difficult to restore cut pavement to a condition and performance level matching the surrounding pavement. When the repaired pavement condition varies from the existing pavement condition, the result can be a rough surface. Even if the pavement surface is smooth and consistent at the time of the repair, the materials may settle and deteriorate differentially over time. This leads to surface roughness, which then leads to more rapid deterioration (Noel and Tevlin 2012; PEI 1996; Stevens et al. 2010; Wilde et al. 1996).
Utility cut restoration involves performing a treatment, in addition to adequate filling and compaction of the excavated area, to restore the pavement life and maintain the pavement’s structural capacity and performance. Restoration often includes a T-Cut as well as another treatment, such as an overlay or surface seal, that extends beyond the length of the T-Cut arm. This restoration combination is illustrated in Figure 3.
T-Cuts involve cutting back a portion of the pavement surface beyond the edge of the trench to better protect the zone of influence and bridge the plane of weakness. Such repairs have been found advantageous in the restoration of utility cut trenches by alleviating the effects of the lateral support loss due to the excavation (Peters 2002; Stevens et al. 2010). Research has shown that the thickness of the restoration, the quality of materials used, and the placement and compaction methods of fill materials are key factors in ensuring strong pavement performance in future years (Jensen et al. 2005; Stevens et al. 2010 Todres and Baker 1996).

Restoration Standards in California
Table 2 summarizes the restoration standards held by several city and county agencies throughout California. The specific restoration requirements vary depending on the length of the utility cut, existing PCI, functional classification, and age of the pavement.
Although the use of the T-Cut is widespread among these standards, the additional surface restoration requirements range from no additional treatment beyond the T-Cut to full lane replacements for the entire affected block. For example, the cities of Oakland and San Francisco require a full block restoration depending on the length of the utility cut. Other agencies require only 6 to 24 inches of restoration beyond the edge of the TCut. The most common restoration treatment in California is a mill and overlay to a minimum specified depth.
The final required restored pavement thickness also varies among agencies. These final thickness standards are included in Table 2 as the final asphalt thickness over the trench and provide insight into how standards vary throughout California. The typical requirement is for the new restored pavement to conform to the existing pavement thickness over the trench, but additional thickness is sometimes required.

UTILITY CUT POLICIES
A detailed 2002 report prepared for the Federal Highway Administration provided methods that agencies can use to reduce and minimize the damage to streets due to the ever-increasing installation and maintenance activities of utility companies (Wilde et al. 2002). Specifically, the report presents three types of policies local agencies can use to improve the quality of utility cut repairs and promote coordination of facilities. These strategies are 1) incentive-based policies, 2) fee-based policies, and 3) regulation-based policies.
Incentive-based policies provide financial or other incentives for using trenchless technology where technically suitable, performing higher-quality pavement cut repairs, making smaller or less-damaging cuts, and coordinating with other utility companies to share trenches or underground resources.
Examples of fee-based policies include requiring a deposit prior to beginning work to protect against poor repairs, assessing financial penalties for non-compliance with restoration standards or for failed repairs within a specified period, implementing a timebased lane rental fee to encourage utility companies to restore traffic access as quickly as possible, and collecting flat-rate or area-based fees to compensate for increased degradation associated with cutting and excavating pavement.
Regulation-based policies do not require fees or provide incentives, but place requirements on the contractor regarding quality of work, and/or restrictions on when and where trenching can be done. Examples include establishing moratorium periods that restrict utility cuts in newly resurfaced pavements for a specified time, requiring pavement restorations to encompass an area larger than the trench area, enhancing inspections, and enforcing restoration specifications.
Utility Cut Fees in California
Fee-based policies have been growing in popularity throughout California as way for local agencies to recoup the cost of pavement damage associated with poor performing underground utility work. Table 3 summarizes several utility-cut fee schedules for various agencies throughout California. These fees are based on factors including functional classification, pavement age, PCI, and/or utility cut depth and orientation (longitudinal or transverse). The fees, in dollars per area, are multiplied by the utility cut area to obtain a dollar value that represents the damage done to the pavement. In contrast to having a utility cut fee by area, the city of Santa Barbara has utility cut fee by linear foot. This fee is multiplied by the length of linear feet cut rather than the affected area to obtain a dollar value.

Some agencies allow fee exemptions if the utility work is performed on older pavement or if the work is performed before an upcoming rehabilitation. For example, the City and County of San Francisco waive the fee for utility work performed on pavements with PCIs less than 53 or a pavement age of at least 20 years. The City of Los Angeles does not require utility cut fees on pavements with rehabilitation scheduled within the next year.

Moratorium Standards in California
Regulation-based policies, particularly moratoria, have been passed by cities and counties to protect public infrastructure and preserve the life of streets (Wilde et al. 2002).
Moratoria impose a time period after treatment during which utility or other companies may not perform trenching activities. Table 4 summarizes several California agencies with slurry and rehabilitation moratorium standards. If for some reason utility work during a moratorium period is deemed necessary, agencies often impose higher restoration standards and limits than those required after the moratorium period has expired.
For example, Los Angeles County only requires a surface restoration of 24 inches beyond the edge of the T-Cut for non-moratorium streets but requires that the whole block be repaved for moratorium streets. Such strict moratorium restoration standards encourage utility companies to perform underground utility maintenance prior to pavement rehabilitation or reconstruction and discourages utility work in new pavement structures.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Interest in studying and quantifying the impact of utility cuts on road and street performance has increased over the last 30 years. Consequently, public agencies, as well as utility companies, have sponsored engineering investigations and studies to quantify the impact of utility cuts on pavement performance and estimate the corresponding financial impacts.
Research has shown that utility cuts can reduce pavement life by 15 to 55 percent, which consequently costs local agencies millions of dollars in premature street repair and remediation expenses. Studies have also shown that underground utility work affects not only the excavated area, but often weakens the adjacent pavement. The affected pavement varies based on agency and location but is typically 4 to 5 feet from the edge of the trench.
To help restore some of the lost structural capacity and performance due to cutting the pavement, many agencies have set restoration standards. Restoration standards in California typically include a T-Cut along with a restoration treatment that may be as extensive as replacing the full lane for the entire affected block.
To recover the cost of pavement damage associated with performing underground utility work, many agencies impose utility cut fees. In California, these fees are typically based on factors including functional classification, pavement age, PCI, and/or utility cut depth and orientation (longitudinal or transverse).
As evidenced by the variety of studies, standards, policies, and fees, the impact of utility cuts on roadway performance can vary significantly based on site-and agency-specific information. Therefore, to really understand and quantify the impact of utility cuts on roadway performance for a particular agency, a site-specific study and analysis must be performed. In addition, utility cut fees should be updated regularly to reflect accurate and current damage costs.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CITY OF PACIFICA
FINAL REPORT MARCH 2022
ES-1
Executive Summary
The purpose of this study was to estimate the structural and financial impact of waste and heavy construction vehicles on streets in the City of Pacifica. To accomplish this, NCE performed a vehicle impact analysis that combined methods from both the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official’s Guide for Design of Pavement Structures and the Caltrans Highway Design Manual.
The analysis compared the estimated traffic demand associated with waste and heavy construction vehicles to the average remaining structural capacity of streets.
The resulting impact was then integrated with a financial analysis.
The results of the study (shown below) indicate that approximately 10.1 percent of a residential street’s pavement life is consumed each year by waste vehicles. This damage corresponds to an average cost of $510,906 per year. Similarly, approximately 6.2 percent of an arterial or collector street’s pavement life is consumed each year by waste vehicles. This damage corresponds to an average cost of $183,963 per year. The City can use these results to recoup pavement damage costs associated with waste collection by implementing a flat fee, a costper-vehicle fee, or other payment structure.

Bulk Waste 0.8% $39,300 0.1% $4,084
Total 10.1% $510,906 6.2% $183,793
A proposed heavy-vehicle impact fee was estimated based on the assumption that the damage caused to pavement structures by heavy construction vehicles is similar to that caused by a typical waste vehicle. The proposed fee (shown below in 2021 dollars) represents the transportation costs associated with the construction of new developments and can be collected as part of a development impact fee for residential and non-residential units. Any implemented waste or heavy vehicle fee structure should include an inflation factor since pavement maintenance costs increase over time.

IMPACTS OF WASTE AND HEAVY CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES ON PAVEMENT LIFE
INTRODUCTION CITY OF PACIFICA
FINAL REPORT MARCH 2022
1 1 Introduction
Over the past 10 to 15 years, the number of waste-vehicle repetitions has increased on local roads and streets throughout California. Historically, one waste vehicle provided services once a week. More recently, three or four different waste vehicles (e.g., garbage, recycling, organics) provide weekly or biweekly services. In addition to waste vehicles, private development can have a significant impact on pavement condition. When new development construction occurs, heavy equipment and material delivery vehicles cause more rapid deterioration and worse pavement condition. This separation of waste categories, increase in waste collection frequency, as well as new construction due to land development, has caused many local agencies to question:
1. What impact do waste and heavy construction vehicles have on pavement deterioration?
2. What is the corresponding financial impact of waste and heavy construction vehicles on pavement life?
Similar questions have been studied for over 60 years by many state highway agencies, universities, the U.S. Department of Transportation, industry groups, and consulting/research firms. While the research completed and continued by these entities has significantly improved the understanding of pavement deterioration and the impacts of various treatments and loads on pavement performance, the bulk of this research has not focused on local or low-volume roads. Additionally, the impact and quantification of waste and heavy construction vehicles on local roads and streets varies significantly based on site- and agency-specific information. Such variables include pavement condition and structure, vehicle type and frequency, and maintenance costs. Therefore, to really understand the impact of waste vehicles on roads and streets within a particular agency, a custom study and analysis must be performed.
Customized studies estimating the impact of waste and heavy construction vehicles on pavement life and the corresponding costs for a particular agency can be used to develop impact fees. Such fees help agencies recapture costs associated with accelerated pavement deterioration due to frequent waste-vehicle trips and continued land development.
The City of Pacifica (City) wants to identify the vehicle impacts and develop fees to recoup damage sustained on City streets due to waste vehicles and heavy construction vehicles. Consequently, Nichols Consulting Engineers, Chtd. (NCE), performed this study to estimate that impact and to quantify it in financial terms.
The following sections describe the technical approach used and present the results of the study.

IMPACTS OF WASTE AND HEAVY CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES ON PAVEMENT LIFE
TECHNICAL APPROACH CITY OF PACIFICA
FINAL REPORT MARCH 2022
2 2 Technical Approach
For this project, NCE employed a sophisticated analysis combining methods from both the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Highway Design Manual (HDM) (Caltrans 2019) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guide for Design of Pavement Structures (AASHTO 1993). City streets in California are typically designed according to the Caltrans HDM; whereas the AASHTO pavement design guide is widely used throughout the United States. Both methods were employed to more accurately represent traffic demands and incorporate the effect of pavement condition.
Ultimately, this analysis compared the estimated traffic demand associated with waste and heavy construction vehicles to the average remaining structural capacity of streets. The resulting impact was then integrated with a financial analysis.
The following subsections describe the assumptions made and the analysis procedure used to estimate and quantify the impact of waste and heavy construction vehicles on pavement life and maintenance costs for the City. Note that the analysis differentiates between two functional class groups: 1) residentials, and 2) arterials and collectors. This differentiation accounts for differences in pavement structures and traffic demands.
2.1 PAVEMENT CONDITION
Pavement condition is typically quantified using the pavement condition index (PCI), which ranges from 0 to 100. Pavements in excellent condition have a PCI above 85, pavements in very good condition have a PCI between 70 and 85, pavements in good condition have a PCI between 50 and 70, pavements in poor condition have a PCI between 25 and 50, and pavements in very poor condition have a PCI below 25. Note that these condition categories are consistent with those presented in the City’s Budget Options Report (City of Pacifica 2021) with one modification—the excellent condition category was added to provide an additional data point, and therefore additional accuracy, during the analysis portion of this study.
The City’s street network is in poor condition with an average PCI of 39 as of March 2021. Table 1 summarizes the portion of the City’s street network in each condition category by functional class. As shown, nearly half the 62.6 centerline miles of residential streets, and a quarter of the 27.6 centerline miles of arterials/collectors, are in failed condition.

*Condition data obtained from StreetSaver® on March 15, 2021 For each condition category, the percent of remaining service life (RSL) was estimated using the StreetSaver® family deterioration curves for asphalt concrete (AC) streets. The AC curves were selected since City streets are predominantly AC pavement (99.4 percent). The deterioration curves, illustrated in Figure 1, are customized (using historical condition surveys) within StreetSaver® to match the typical performance of streets within the City.
A pavement’s RSL reaches zero when a pavement falls into failed condition, meaning it has a PCI less than 25. Consequently, residential streets have a total service life of approximately 34 years, while arterials/collectors have a total service life of approximately 29 years. Table 2 shows the estimated percent RSL for each condition category and functional class.

2.2 STRUCTURAL CAPACITY
A pavement’s capacity to carry traffic loads depends on pavement structure and condition. The pavement structure of City streets were assumed to meet the City’s typical design traffic index (TI) values of 5 for residential streets and 7 for arterials and collectors. Based on these design TI values and a subgrade R-value of 9, which was observed during the City’s 2020-2021 Resurfacing Program, typical pavement structures were calculated following the Caltrans HDM. Consequently, residential streets were assumed to have structure consisting of 4 inches of AC over 8 inches of aggregate base (AB). Similarly, arterials and collectors were assumed to have 6 inches of AC over 10 inches of AB.
The structural impact of a vehicle on a pavement depends on the vehicle’s load and axle configuration. An 18,000 lb load on a single axle is commonly used as the standard to which all other axle configurations and loads can be compared. Thus an Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) describes the damage to a pavement caused by an 18,000 lb load on a single axle (Huang 2003). As an axle load increases, the damage caused increases exponentially. Additionally, as pavement condition worsens, the damage caused by a given load also increases. Since damage to a pavement is often quantified in terms of ESALs, it is fitting then to also describe a pavement’s structural capacity in terms of ESALs.
The corresponding ESALs for the design TI values were estimated according to the Caltrans HDM. For a TI of 5, the design ESALs are 7,161; for a TI of 7, the design ESALs are 121,021. These design values represent the capacity, in ESALs, that a pavement structure has at the time of construction. The number of ESALs remaining based on condition category were estimated for each functional class by multiplying the design ESALs by the percent RSL (See Table 3).

2.3 TRAFFIC DEMAND
After calculating the structural capacity of the pavement network, the traffic demand was estimated for waste vehicles and heavy construction vehicles.
2.3.1 Waste Vehicles
Currently, there are several waste vehicles servicing the City, including weekly garbage, weekly green waste, weekly recycling, and as-needed bulky waste pickup.
Based on discussions with the City and the waste collection companies, it was assumed that on a given weekday there are four garbage routes, three green waste routes, four recycling routes, and one bulky waste route. Additionally, it was assumed and that all waste collection routes drop off their loads twice daily.
While all residential streets will be driven by a waste vehicle during collection, the route a driver takes to access a particular residential route depends on driver discretion. Consequently, it was assumed that only 40 percent of arterial and collector streets would be used by waste vehicles to access residential routes and drop-off sites. Table 4 lists the assumed frequency of each waste vehicle for each functional class. These frequencies are expected to remain consistent throughout the analysis period.

6 The waste vehicles used in the City are typically single-trailer trucks with a single front axle and a tandem rear axle. The gross vehicle weight is approximately 55,000 lbs, while the tare weight is approximately 37,000 lbs. Figure 2 details the assumed axle loading of both full and empty waste vehicles. As shown, a full vehicle would have a 36,850 lb load on the rear tandem axle and 18,150 lbs on the front single axle. An empty vehicle would have a 24,790 lb load on the rear tandem axle and 12,210 lbs on the front single axle.
Figure 2. Typical Waste-Vehicle Loading
NCE used AASHTO’s load equivalency factor (LEF) approach to estimate the traffic demand of the waste vehicles. LEFs describe the equivalent damage caused by various axle loads and configurations while also considering the existing condition of the pavement. LEFs are a function of axle load and configuration, structural number (SN), and terminal serviceability. The sum of all LEFs for a given vehicle is the ESAL value for that vehicle.
A SN expresses the existing structural strength of a pavement and depends on pavement layer types and thicknesses, drainage, and condition. SN values range from 1 to 7, where 7 represents the greatest structural capacity. The SN values for the residential and arterial/collector pavement structures were calculated per the AASHTO pavement design guide according to Equation 1.

7 Representative layer coefficients were selected based on pavement condition from AASHTO Tables 2.4 and 5.2 (AASHTO 1993) and a drainage coefficient of 1 was assumed. Table 5 summarizes the calculated SNs based on condition category and functional class.

For each waste-vehicle axle configuration (single or tandem) and loading (empty or full) an LEF was estimated using the SNs and an assumed terminal serviceability of
2.5. The LEFs for each waste-vehicle axle loading were then summed to estimate the total ESALs for an empty and a full waste vehicle.
A full waste vehicle was estimated to have an ESAL value ranging from 2.532 to
2.555 based on condition and functional class. An empty waste vehicle was estimated to have an ESAL value of 0.520 to 0.597 also based on condition and functional class. Note that in general, a waste vehicle will do a little more damage to a pavement in worse condition than to a pavement in better condition. Similarly, a waste vehicle will typically do more damage to a residential street than to an arterial or collector street.
The empty and full waste-vehicle ESAL values were combined in a weighted average according to Equation 2. This weighting was performed to account for variability in loading throughout a route. The weighted average ESALs ranged from
1.871 to 1.889.

2.3.2 Heavy Construction Vehicles
Other heavy vehicles, such as construction vehicles, also provide services within the City, and also have impacts on pavement life. After consultations with City staff, the following assumptions were made to estimate their impact:
Heavy construction vehicles cause approximately the same amount of damage, in ESALs, as typical waste vehicles.
The construction of residential/non-residential units require 20 heavy construction vehicles traveling 2.5 miles round trip to the project site (half the mileage on residential streets, half on arterial or collector streets). The average size of a residential unit in the City is 1,800 square feet (sf).
To arrive at the assumption that construction of a new unit would produce approximately 20 heavy vehicle trips, the City of Pacifica Engineering Department estimated construction equipment, building material, and home appliance vehicle trips needed. If the given lot is undeveloped, and therefore requires grading and placement of a concrete slab, the large construction equipment traveling to the site would include an excavator, mini excavator, and skid steer/forklift totaling 3 truck roundtrips. Material delivery was estimated at 27 truck roundtrips including, off haul/infill material, foundation concrete pouring, lumber deliveries, drywall delivery, plumbing fixtures, HVAC fixtures and venting, roofing materials, landscaping materials, flooring materials, windows, counters, doors, street utility materials, driveway installation (concrete/asphalt truck or paver delivery), conditioned street improvement materials (asphalt and concrete), and general home appliances. As construction varies and to be conservative, the 30 trips were rounded down by 33% to 20 heavy vehicle trips.

9 2.4 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As previously mentioned, the City’s street network is currently in poor condition with an average network PCI of 39. This is a result of minimal maintenance historically, coupled with years of increased frequencies of waste and heavy construction vehicles. Consequently, the City’s goals are to, over the next 15 years, improve the residential street network from a PCI of 33 to 60. Similarly, the City intends to improve the arterial and collector street network from a PCI of 50 to 70.
These goals will bring the overall network into fair condition.
To estimate the financial commitment required to accomplish these goals, a budget analyses was performed in StreetSaver® using the City’s existing decision tree with an inflation rate of 3 percent and an analysis period of 15 years. The 15-year total funding needed to accomplish these goals is $120.7 million, which is an average of $8.05 million per year. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the resulting pavement condition breakdown for residential and arterial/collector streets, respectively, for each year in the analysis period.

2.5 VEHICLE IMPACT ANALYSIS
The following sections describe the vehicle impact analysis performed for waste vehicles and heavy construction vehicles.
2.5.1 Waste Vehicles
The process to determine the impact of waste-vehicle damage to City streets is described by the following steps:
1. Calculate the weighted average structural capacity, in ESALs, remaining per year. This was performed by multiplying the ESALs remaining in a given condition category (Table 3) by the pavement condition breakdown for each year resulting from the StreetSaver® analysis (Figures 3 and 4) and summing the resulting products. This value represents the average annual structural capacity, in ESALs, remaining on any given street in the City.
2. Calculate the weighted average traffic demand, in ESALs, per year for each waste-vehicle type. This was performed by multiplying the traffic demand for each waste vehicle type (Table 6) by the pavement condition breakdown for each year resulting from the StreetSaver® analysis (Figures 3 and 4) and summing the resulting products. These values represent the average annual waste-vehicle traffic demand on any given street in the City.

11 3. Calculate the percent of life used each year by each waste vehicle type. This was performed by dividing the annual demand for a given waste vehicle (from Step 2) by the weighted average structural capacity remaining per year (from Step 1).
4. Calculate the associated damage cost each year for each waste vehicle type.
This was done by multiplying the percent of life used per year for each waste vehicle type (Step 3) by the financial commitment per year ($8.05 million).
5. Calculate the average percent of life used per year by each waste vehicle type (average of Step 3).
6. Calculate the average damage cost per year for each waste vehicle type (average of Step 4).
2.5.2 Heavy Construction Vehicles
The financial impact of heavy construction vehicles is based on the assumption that they cause approximately an equal amount of damage as typical waste vehicles.
However, heavy construction vehicles do not traverse streets in the same manner as waste vehicles (i.e., a weekly route through all neighborhoods). Therefore, the damage cost for heavy construction vehicles was estimated according to the following steps:
1. Calculate the average damage cost per waste vehicle per year (Section 2.5.1 Step 6) and convert to a cost per vehicle-mile traveled.
2. Calculate the damage cost associated with the construction of residential and non-residential units based on the estimated conservative number of vehicle trips and miles traveled (Section 2.3.2).
3. Convert the damage cost to the following units for comparison with neighboring agencies:
Per unit - residential
Per square foot of construction - residential/non-residential Per $100 valuation – residential (assumed average residential unit value is $1.25 million (Zillow 2021).

12 3 Results
The following sections present the results of the vehicle impact analysis performed for waste vehicles and heavy construction vehicles.
3.1 WASTE VEHICLES
Figure 5 illustrates the average percent of pavement life consumed each year by each waste vehicle type and functional class. On average, garbage, green waste, and recycling waste vehicles each consume 3.1 percent of a residential pavement’s capacity, or life each year. Combined with the occasional bulky waste pickup, approximately 10.1 percent of a residential pavement’s life is consumed each year by waste vehicles.
The average damage done to arterial and collector streets is lower because the thicker pavement structure and better network condition result in increased structural capacity. On average, garbage, green waste, and recycling waste vehicles each consume 2.2, 1.7, and 2.2 percent, respectively of an arterial or collector pavement’s life. Combined with the bulky waste pickup, approximately 6.2 percent of an arterial or collector pavement’s life is consumed each year by waste vehicles.

Figure 6. Average Cost per Year Due to Waste Vehicle Damage Since the impact of waste vehicles on local roads and streets is dependent on siteand agency-specific information (pavement network condition and mileage, pavement structure, vehicle type and frequency, maintenance costs, network goals, etc.), it is difficult to compare waste vehicle impact fees between agencies.

14 For comparison, Table 8 summarizes heavy vehicle impact fees for several cities throughout California. These fees typically represent transportation costs associated with construction of new developments and are collected by agencies as part of a development impact fee. As shown, many of the agencies have different fees based on the type of construction (residential vs. non-residential). The residential fees are predominantly a flat fee, but some are also based on square footage, vehicle mileage, or building value. The non-residential fees are based on the square footage of the building being constructed.

15 Since the proposed fees were derived based on construction trips for an average size, single-family unit, NCE recommends application of the fee in dollars per square foot to allow for a scaling to multi-family units as well. For example, smaller or larger multi-family units may require less or more heavy construction vehicle trips per unit, respectively, than the average single-family unit. This would allow multi-family unit fees to be adjusted proportionally based on size.

FINAL REPORT MARCH 2022
16 4 Summary
The City of Pacifica is interested in implementing vehicle impact fees to recoup damage to City streets caused by waste-collection and heavy construction vehicles.
Currently, the City has several waste vehicles servicing residential streets, including a weekly garbage pickup, weekly green waste pickup, weekly recycling pickup, and an as-needed bulky waste pickup. In addition, construction vehicles provide ongoing but less predictable services. The purpose of this study was to estimate the structural and financial impacts of waste and heavy construction vehicles on City streets in Pacifica.
The damage a particular vehicle imposes on a pavement depends on the load and axle configuration, the pavement structure, and the pavement condition. In general, the damage to a pavement structure increases exponentially as the load increases. Additionally, the damage caused by a given load is less for a thicker pavement structure than it is for a thinner pavement structure. And finally, as pavement condition worsens, the damage caused by a given load increases. With these factors in mind, NCE performed an analysis based on City-specific data, which combined analysis methods from both the AASHTO and Caltrans design standards.
Overall, this analysis compared the estimated traffic demand associated with waste and heavy construction vehicles to the average remaining structural capacity of streets. The resulting impact was then integrated with a financial analysis.
The results of this study indicate that under existing traffic conditions, approximately 10.1 percent of a residential pavement’s life is consumed each year by waste vehicles. This corresponds to an average damage cost of $510,906 per year. Similarly, approximately 6.2 percent of an arterial or collector pavement’s life is consumed each year by waste vehicles. This corresponds to an average damage cost of $183,963 per year. The City can use this information to recoup pavement damage costs associated with waste collection by implementing a flat fee, a costper-vehicle fee, or other payment structure.
Assuming heavy construction vehicles cause damage similar to typical waste vehicles, a proposed heavy vehicle impact fee was estimated for the City and converted into several units for comparison with other California agencies.
The estimated per-unit fee for residential construction is similar to other California agencies. However, in terms of square footage and per $100 valuation, the estimated impact fees are lower than most of the comparison agencies. These proposed fees represent the transportation costs associated with the construction of new developments and can be collected as part of a development impact fee.
Any implemented waste or heavy vehicle fee structure should include an inflation factor since pavement maintenance costs increase over time.

Section 2. Adopted. Section 7-2.214, “Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee,” is hereby added to Article 2 of Chapter 2 of Title 7 “Public Works” of the City of Pacifica Municipal Code as follows:
Section 7-2.214 Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee
(a) Purpose of Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee.
Excavations in paved streets owned and maintained by the City degrade and shorten the life of the surface of the streets, and this degradation increases the frequency and cost to the public of necessary resurfacing, maintenance and repair. These excavations cause degradation of the streets even where the excavations are refilled and repaired in conformity with applicable standards and requirements. It is appropriate that entities responsible for excavating into the City right of-way bear the burden of the resulting cost of this degradation and shortened life of the surface rather than the taxpayers of the City. In addition, establishment of a Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee will create an incentive for utilities to coordinate excavations in the streets. This chapter shall not be construed to relieve those excavating into the City right-of-way of the obligation to fill, repair and properly maintain the location of the excavation. (b) Establishment of Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee.
No person shall excavate in a public right-of-way without, in addition to all other requirements of this Code, having first paid to the City a “Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee.” The Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee shall be due, as a condition of the permit required by Section 7-2.101.

Where the “Council-Approved Rate” is the rate contained in the most recently adopted Impact Fee Schedule, “Most Recent ENR” is the most recently published Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay Area in the Engineering News Record when the calculation is made and “ENR at Council-Approval” is the Construction Cost Index published for the month in which the Council adopted the Impact Fee Schedule including the “Council-Approved Rate.” The City Manager shall calculate the increased fee annually and give notice of that calculation in the manner required by law for the publication of ordinance of the City Council.
(d) Determination of Payment.
The fees due under this chapter are collected for the restoration and maintenance of City pavement caused by the impacts of utility trench cuts, and shall be determined and become due and payable to the City at the time of the issuance of permits required pursuant to this Chapter. (e) Variance from payment of Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee.
Any person subject to the Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee may request that the Director of Public Works waive or reduce the requirement of payment of the fee due to individual circumstances that demonstrate, on a case-by-case basis, that the amount of the fee is not reasonably related to the projected impact of the proposed excavation.
The decision of the Director of Public Works may be appealed to the City Manager by letter within five (5) City business days of the date of the Director’s decision. Appeals shall state the name, address, telephone number, and if, available, the email address of the person making the appeal and the reason(s) for the appeal. The failure to appeal the

The City Manager may delegate all of the duties of this subsection to another person.
(f) Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee Fund.
The fees paid in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be placed in a special fund to be known as the Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee Fund. The revenues from the fees will be used solely for restoration and maintenance of City pavement related to the impacts of utility cuts. (g) Exceptions.
(1) Excavations in City streets scheduled for pavement structural improvements within two years of the date of excavation shall be exempt from the Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee.
(2) No Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee shall be charged for underground utility district projects initiated by the City, or utility line relocations necessitated by City street work projects or by street vacations or abandonments.
(3) No Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee shall be charged for excavations performed by or for the City Public Works Field Services Department.
(4) No Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee shall be charged with respect to excavation in a sidewalk or a concrete street.
(5) No Utility Pavement Cut Recovery Fee shall be charged where the proposed work will include resurfacing of all or a significant portion of the public right-of-way where the excavation is made, and the City Engineer approves the resurfacing. A “significant portion of the public right-of-way” means a surface area of the public right-of-way with minimum length and width dimensions as follows: length: 25 feet from the nearest edge of the excavation area; and width: the full width of each traffic lane if any portion of the lane is within the trench influence area.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code sections 36500 et. seq., the City Council of the City of Pacifica adopted Ordinance No. 714-C.S creating the Pacifica Hotel Business Improvement District and levying an annual assessment of $1.00 per room per day of occupancy on the hotels in the City. The Pacifica BID was established under the authority of the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, which does not require identifying a "managing agency." Many Bay Area Cities with BIDs established under the same law manage their BID operations internally. However, the City Council has previously appointed the Chamber of Commerce as the BID Managing Agency. Currently, the Advisory Committee consists of but is not limited to one representative from each of the hotels, the managing director of the Pacifica Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, and one representative from the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
On May 13, 2022, the Chamber of Commerce filed the attached Pacifica Hotel Business Improvement District (BID) report with the City Clerk. The report was prepared by the Chamber of Commerce acting as the Managing Agency for the hotels in the BID and on behalf of the Pacifica Hotel BID Advisory Committee and presented to the City Council with the resolution of intent to continue the BID program and levy the annual assessments for the fiscal year 2022-23.
The report included projected resources and uses for FY 2022-23. There were no proposed changes in the boundaries of the Pacifica Hotel Business Improvement District. The proposed assessment is intended to be continued at $1.00 per room per day occupancy. It is estimated to generate $70,000 in revenues for the BID activities in FY2022-23 plus an estimated rollover funds of $977.30 from the current fiscal year.
It is proposed in the report that the Pacifica Chamber of Commerce will continue to serve as the Managing Agency for the BID at the proposed annual administrative fee of $35,000 or 50% of the projected FY2022-23 BID assessment to pay a part-time administrator, maintaining a visitor center, and supporting marketing efforts such as the Visitor Guide and Business Directory as 12 Packet Pg. 405
Pacifica City Council 2
June 13, 2022
reported on page 5 and further spelled out in Exhibit C of the attached report.
After reviewing the report, City staff felt that there was a significant amount of duplication of City-led marketing efforts with proposed activities in the BID marketing plan. This year the City Council adopted a Marketing Plan to attract visitors to Pacifica and benefit local hotels. City staff has made efforts to collaborate with the BID on strategies such as "Shop Pacifica" and a "workcation" promotion that would directly benefit the hotels in the district, as these programs are investing in the hospitality industry and promoting Pacifica as an overnight destination. Specific examples of duplicative efforts from the BID report include 1) the suggestion of a new "staycation" program for FY 2022-23 (pg. 7 of Attachment 1), which appears to be redundant with the City program approved by the Council, and 2) investment in a Shop Local campaign and creating a separate page on the "Visit Pacifica" website at the estimated cost to the BID between $10,500 and $14,500 (pg.6 of Attachment 1) when the City has already launched this program under the name of ShopPacifica that is currently being promoted and paid for by the City and the City would have created the ShopPacifica page on the VisitPacifica website.
At the meeting on May 23, Council directed staff and Chamber representatives to hold a meeting with the hotel representatives and Council liaisons to the Economic Development Committee to seek clarifications for proposed FY22-23 BID activities, reduce duplication and achieve collaboration. Staff held this meeting on June 1, 2022. During the meeting, some hotel representatives seemed to be unaware of the above-mentioned City programs that would directly benefit hotels or the VisitPacifica website access issues. In addition, the Chamber continued expressing security concerns about granting the City's professional Marketing consulting firm access to the VisitPacifica platform. Staff clarified that the City's standard practice requires substantial professional and general liability coverage from all their contractors, and these concerns would be covered. The Chamber requested to meet with City staff and the City Consultant again to discuss the collaboration and access to the website. This meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 9, 2022 (a day after release of this report). Staff will be prepared to report to Council the outcomes of this meeting during the June 13 City Council meeting presentation on this item.
Since California State Law is clear that the BID Advisory Committee determines the allocation of BID assessment funds (and not the City) and the expenditure of funds must be specific and be used to increase hotel overnight occupancy and not recreational improvements or promotions for any other businesses or services, staff requested the Chamber to make the following clarifying adjustments to the BID Annual Report:
• List all activities planned for the FY2022-23 with the requested budget allocation and replace items like "tbd" or "cost varies" or wide cost ranges with specific dollar amounts. • Provide sufficient explanation and justification for every budget line-item with enough details to describe what activities are being proposed at what cost and how this would benefit the hotels in increasing their overnight occupancy. • Provide a detailed description of activities and requested budget for the "staycation" and "shop local" campaigns. Explain how/if these programs will complement the City's Workcation and ShopPacifica programs in the City's Marketing Plan. • Clarify certain proposed activities in the report that appear as allocation of funds to be approved by BID members payable for services performed by the BID members themselves or as promotion of other businesses and services. • Include the Google Analytics and traffic reports for the Visit Pacifica website every month of the last assessment year (FY2021-22) to demonstrate the benefit of the marketing efforts to BID members.
The City intends to build greater collaboration and coordination of efforts with the BID to identify key performance measures and better align available resources, unify marketing efforts toward the same goals of promoting Pacifica as an overnight destination, assist hotels with improving their occupancy rates throughout the year, and, as a result of these efforts, improve the 12 Packet Pg. 406
Pacifica City Council 3
June 13, 2022
hospitality industry and local economy in general.
As of this report release, the City staff has not received the revised report from the Chamber.
Therefore, the City Manager does not have a recommendation as part of this report but lists options available to City Council below. The original BID Annual report without modifications is included in Attachment 1.
Written and oral protests to the levy of the annual assessments may be made at the public hearing in the form and manner prescribed in Sections 36625 and 36626 of the California Streets and Highway Code up until the close of the public hearing.
LIST OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO CITY COUNCIL:
1. If the Council is satisfied with the BID Annual Report as submitted on May 13, 2022, described above and presented at the last meeting and in Attachment 1, it can proceed with adopting a resolution listed in Attachment 2 to renew the BID program and levy assessment.
2. If the Council believes that the report does not sufficiently describe the improvements or activities that will be undertaken in FY2022-23, then upon the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council may order changes to the "proposed activities" to be funded from the levy of the assessments for those services that are not currently contracted. The Council would need to adopt another resolution of intent listed in Attachment 3 to levy with the report as modified. In this case, the item would have to return to the Council on June 27, 2022, after proper notice of the proposed changes.
3. The City Council could delay this decision until a later date once further collaborative discussions have occurred with the BID. If selected, this option will end the assessment for FY2022-23. During the year, staff would report back to City Council on collaboration progress and determine next steps, which could include reinstituting the assessment for FY2023-24, or developing an alternative structure for the BID.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
"Fiscal Sustainability" includes investing in economic development to increase revenues, funding a reserve/emergency fund, and being well prepared for grant opportunities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no significant fiscal impact associated with this action, except for the City's administrative cost of processing BID pass-through payments that the City collects. The City collects no fee for administering the BID.

RE: Pacifica Hotel Business Improvement Annual Report
Dear Kevin:

A) Report of Resources and Uses, July 1, 2021-2022
B) Profit and Loss, July 1, 2021 - April 30, 2022

F) Additional Marketing Plan of Actions 2022-2023
G) Marketing Action Plan Projected Budget for 2022-2023 (*Appendix)
There are no proposed changes in the boundaries of the Pacifica Hotel Business Improvement District. The Pacifica Hotel Business Improvement District will continue to be managed by the Pacifica Chamber of Commerce. As anticipated in the previous annual report for 2021-2022, there are no fund surplus. The BID is currently unable to financially retain the services of our previous marketing consultant, Hook, Line & Thinker. It is still our goal to maximize the hotel’s investment in promoting Pacifica, the hotels and tourism. Our main focus now will be to move away from obsolete marketing tools, initiating a more modern approach by increasing digital/online presence and limiting traditional publication(ex. hard-copies). The Chamber will continue to provide visitor support, continue information posters and collateral material located at the Rockway Beach Kiosk and Visitors Center (located in the Chamber office). Please contact either Archie Judan or Lynn Gallo, President, if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Managing Agency Use of Funds
2021-2022
RECEIVED FROM BID $16,510.00
These funds supported a portion of the following promotional activities:
Staffing Visitor Center (handling calls and welcoming visitors to the center) • Published the Visitor Guide and Business Directory, 16,000 mailed to Pacifica businesses and residences, focusing on our hotels with 1,000 copies to the hotels directly for visitors. • Sponsored a virtual Tree Lighting jointly with the City of Pacifica focusing on local families.
• Included a tear out page in the Directory for Beach Bites Bingo, to continue to promote to visitors and locals’ participation in our businesses through the bingo card and the gift certificate from a local business.
• Planning with Fairfield Inn & Suites on the opening ceremony.
The Chamber treasurer manages City of Pacifica assessment funds and monitors and distributes funds approved by the BID.
The Chamber website required an upgrade due to an outdated operating system which was completed in 2022. It cross references to Visit Pacifica to increase traffic.
The Chamber Board continues to closely monitor and focus on reducing expenses. Examples of some of the changes:
• The Chamber operates with one part time staff administrator. • Individual projects are supported with outside resources to reduce labor expenses. • The office is managed by a volunteer Board member answers calls, mail, emails, completes reports and manages income and outgoing funds. • To reduce the Chamber operating costs the office space was subdivided into two offices and the street facing office was rented.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
I. Resolution Calling Election
On December 17, 2018, the City Council of the City of Pacifica adopted Ordinance No. 839- C.S., establishing a district-based system for the election of members of the City Council by five districts, establishing the boundaries and identification number of each district and establishing the election order of each district. This ordinance added Chapter 9 “District Elections” to Title 2 of the Pacifica Municipal Code. By this action, the City of Pacifica changed from an at-large 13 Packet Pg. 433
Pacifica City Council 2
June 13, 2022
election system to a by district election system for the election of City Council members. The election sequence established by Ordinance No. 839-C.S. calls for the election of City Council members for Districts 1 and 4 in the general municipal election held in November 2020 and Districts 2, 3 and 5 in the general municipal election held in November 2022. On March 28, 2022, after having conducted public hearings for redistricting based on the 2020 U.S. Census data pursuant to California Elections Code 21600 et. seq., the City Council of the City of Pacifica adopted Ordinance No. 874-C.S., to repeal and replace Pacifica Municipal Code Section 2-9.02 “City Council Districts Established” and adopting City Council District map and boundaries in Council District Map 505b. There was no change made to district election sequencing.
The City of Pacifica will conduct an election on November 8, 2022 for the purpose of electing one (1) City Council member for a full term of four years to District 2, one (1) City Council member for a full term of four years to District 3, and one (1) City Council member for a full term of four years to District 5. This will be the first by district elections in these Districts. Elections Code Section 10002 permits the City Council to request the County to provide election services and Elections Code Sections 10400 and 10403 permit the City Council to request that Pacifica's local election be consolidated with the Statewide General Election. The attached Resolution accomplishes these actions.
Pursuant to Elections Code section 13307 the governing body of any local agency must adopt regulations pertaining to materials prepared by any candidate for a municipal election, including costs of the Candidates’ Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) and that those regulations be provided to candidates. The proposed Resolution adopts such regulations in compliance with Elections Code section 13307.
The nomination period opens Monday, July 18, 2022, at 8:30 a.m. and closes at 5:00 p.m., on Friday, August 12, 2022.
II. Fireworks Advisory Measure
Article 2 of Chapter 3 of Title 4 of the City of Pacifica’s Municipal Code regulates the use and sale of State-approved, “Safe and Sane” fireworks in the City. The history of the Safe and Sane Fireworks Sales Program in the City dates back to March 1961, when City Council adopted Ordinance No. 167, regulating the sale of State-approved, “Safe and Sane” fireworks.
As is the case today, the ordinance specified local non-profit groups as eligible to obtain a fireworks permit.
In 1983 and in 1996, the City placed advisory measures on the ballot to determine whether the City’s voters wished to continue with the Safe and Sane Fireworks Sales Program in the City.
Voters in 1983 expressed majority support to continue the program with 38% (1,587 voters) voting to end the program and 62% (2,641 voters) voting to continue fireworks sales.
In November 1996, the City again sought advice from the electorate. Measure W was placed on the ballot with the following language:
“Shall the City of Pacifica amend its Municipal Code to prohibit the sale and use of State-approved fireworks in the City of Pacifica?” Voters again expressed majority support for the fireworks program with 30% (4,582 voters) voting to end the program and 70% (10,744 voters) voting to continue fireworks sales. 13 Packet Pg. 434
Pacifica City Council 3
June 13, 2022
In recent years the discussion has continued, prompted by community complaints regarding the magnitude of illegal fireworks around the July 4th holiday, as well as environmental concerns due to litter left behind by both illegal and Safe and Sane fireworks. Environmental concerns are also raised due to concerns of fireworks debris reaching the ocean. Community concerns have also included the risk of fire with the use of all types of fireworks. In recent years, wildfires in Northern California have increased the discussion of fire risk. The most common complaint from community members is the loud noise generated by illegal fireworks. Large scale firecracker type devices as well as mortar type fireworks that create colorful displays in the sky are commonly used in Pacifica on July 4th and produce loud noise.
On February 8, 2021 the Council discussed the various input that had been received from members of the public through the FlashVote polling and from the various non-profit groups and directed staff to prepare a ballot measure for the November 8, 2022 election to ask the citizens of the City whether they wanted to prohibit the Safe and Sane firework ignition, use, discharge, or sale, as currently allowed in Pacifica Municipal Code Article 2 of Chapter 3, within Title 4.
Elections Code section 9603 empowers local jurisdictions to hold a regular or special election for the purpose of allowing voters within the city to voice their opinions on substantive issues or indicate to the City Council approval or disapproval of the ballot proposal.
The proposed resolution would place a measure similar to 1996’s Measure U on the ballot to determine whether the City’s qualified voters wish to amend the City’s Municipal Code to prohibit the sale and use of Safe and Sane fireworks.
“Shall the City of Pacifica amend its Municipal Code to prohibit the ignition, use, discharge or sale of all State-approved “Safe and Sane” Fireworks in the City of Pacifica?”
The format of ballot question is prescribed by Elections Code sections 13120 and 9603.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Staff does not recommend any alternative options.
FISCAL IMPACT:
An estimated cost of $160,000.00 to provide election services consolidated with the Statewide General Election, publishing of election-related notices and inclusion of potential ballot measures for the November 8, 2022 general municipal election has been included in the 2022- 23 Proposed Budget.

1 SUBJECT:
Update on Implementation of the Short-term Rental Program RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive update on Short-term Rental Program.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City Council has requested an update on implementation of the City’s short-term rental (STR) program which it established in 2018. The term “short-term rental” refers to the use of all or a portion of a residential dwelling unit for a rental of less than 30 consecutive days. A residential dwelling unit being offered as an STR may be exclusively used for that purpose, or may be offered as an STR periodically between occupancy by the property owner or renter.
The popularity of STRs has increased steadily over the past decade in part due to the convenience of booking provided by companies such as AirBNB and VRBO. STRs provide an alternative experience to traditional hotel and motel accommodations for visitors to Pacifica.
They also provide a source of income for owners and occupants of the residential dwelling units offered for rent as STRs.
Because STRs utilize existing residential dwelling units, these so-called transient occupancies (i.e., occupancies lasting less than 30 days) are often located in closer proximity to owneroccupied and long-term rental housing units than traditional hotels and motels which tend to be limited to commercial zoning districts. In many cases, STRs are interspersed with predominantly single-family residential neighborhoods or throughout apartment/condominium units in multi-family residential buildings. This attribute of STRs can prompt consideration of their compatibility with surrounding residential uses and potential impacts on the availability of residential units for long-term occupancies.
The ease of listing a residential dwelling unit as an STR can also lead to casual operators who are unaware of the legal requirements to register in accordance with local laws including but not limited to the City of Pacifica’s business license and transient occupancy tax (TOT) registrations. The emergence of STRs as a new type of land use led the City Council to adopt Ordinance No. 835-C.S. (“Ordinance”) in 2018. The Ordinance established a permit 14 Packet Pg. 452
Pacifica City Council 2
June 13, 2022
requirement for operation of an STR, certain operating requirements, and permit revocation and enforcement processes. The operating requirements established in the Ordinance included the following guest safety standards:
• A diagram of exits, fire extinguisher locations, and fire and police contact numbers; • The STR permittee's contact information;
• The City's noise regulations (PMC Title 5, Chapter 10); and • The City's Social Host Liability Ordinance (PMC Title 5, Chapter 28) The Ordinance requires that an operator must provide the guest safety information to guests before arrival and make the information available in printed form within the STR.
A. STR Ordinance Implementation
The Ordinance appoints the Assistant City Manager or designee as the responsible City official for administration of the STR permit process. Other staff primarily in the Finance Division of the Administrative Services Department are responsible for assisting applicants with completing their business license tax, TOT, and STR permit registrations.
The Finance Division has engaged a consultant, HdL, to assist with additional program support including TOT compliance verifications for STRs and hotels/motels. The City engaged HdL for this purpose beginning in July 2021.
Since enactment of the Ordinance, the City has registered numerous STRs. As of May 2022, the City had 77 registered and compliant STRs. For comparison, HdL has identified a total of 103 active listings1 as of May 12, 2022, distributed throughout Pacifica as shown in Figure 1, below (blue dots are listings with identified properties, and yellow dots are listings in an approximate location but that are not yet associated with an identified property).
1 The number of active STR listings frequently changes as new properties are added and existing properties are removed by operators.

Figure 1. Short-term rental (STR) locations in Pacifica Registration of STRs ensures collection of TOT, or Transient Occupancy Tax. The TOT is a tax charged on occupancies of less than 30 consecutive days. Collection of TOT from STRs since adoption of the Ordinance in 2018 has totaled approximately $1.2 million through June 30, 2021 (the end of FY 2020-2021), as summarized below in Table 1:
FY 2018-19 FY 2019-20 FY 2020-21 Total
$248,947 $365,825 $592,205 $1,206,977
Table 1. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Collections from Short-term rentals (STRs) since 2018
The average daily rental rate for STRs in Pacifica is $236 and peak rental activity occurs in April, July/August, and December according to HdL’s data. HdL estimates that if all STRs that it has identified as active on the current market were brought into compliance, 14 Packet Pg. 454
Pacifica City Council 4
June 13, 2022
the City could be receiving approximately $742,000 per year in TOT collections from STRs based on the current number of listings and level of activity. It is important to keep in mind that the number of current STR listings and corresponding TOT collections are volatile and change frequently based on seasonality and local economic factors. Staff and HdL will continue monitoring the STR revenue activities to further refine the projection assumptions each quarter while bringing identified properties into compliance.
B. STRs and Housing Stock
As noted above, the City has identified 103 active STR listings within Pacifica, although this number can vary periodically. These STR listings are located throughout the City in a variety of neighborhoods and dwelling unit types (e.g., single-family residences, multifamily residences, condominiums, accessory dwelling units2 ), as summarized in Figure
2, below.
Figure 2. Short-term rental (STR) by housing unit type
More than two-thirds of STR listings offer the entire residential dwelling unit, with just over one-quarter renting only part of the residential dwelling unit. More than half of STRs in Pacifica are offered in studio or one-bedroom dwelling units, as shown in Figure 3, below. Three- and four-bedroom residential dwelling units make up slightly more than one-quarter of STR listings.
Figure 3. Short-term rental (STR) by bedroom count
The City of Pacifica has a total of 14,652 dwelling units3. Of these, three-quarters are single-family detached units, and only one-fifth are in buildings with three or more units, as further summarized in Figure 4, below4. The homeowner vacancy rate was 0.5 percent, while the renter vacancy rate was 1.5 percent, for a combined vacancy rate among all dwelling units of 3.0 percent5. Factoring in vacancy rates, approximately 14,212 dwelling units are occupied for use.

Figure 4. Pacifica Housing Stock by Dwelling Unit Type
Nearly half of Pacifica’s dwelling units have three bedrooms. There are roughly equal proportions of two- and four-bedroom units6. Studio units make up about 1 percent of dwelling units and one-bedroom units comprise about 10 percent of dwelling units. A summary of dwelling unit sizes is provided in Figure 5, below.
Figure 5. Pacifica Housing Stock by Bedroom Count
Overall, the 103 STRs identified by HdL comprise less than 1 percent of Pacifica’s total housing stock. Table 2 compares the number of active STRs in Pacifica to a selection of other coastal communities in the region:

Pacifica 103 14,180 0.72%
Table 2. Number of Active Short-term Rentals (STRs) as share of total dwelling units in June 20227.
STRs are present throughout the city, although some degree of concentration appears to exist in the West Sharp Park and Pedro Point neighborhoods. Such concentrations may be expected given those neighborhoods’ proximity to large, easily accessible beaches.
Comparing the HdL data to Pacifica’s existing housing stock, there appears to be a disproportionate number of studio and one-bedroom units offered for rent as STRs.
While only comprising 11.5 percent of Pacifica’s housing stock, studio and one-bedroom units comprise 57 percent of STR listings. Multi-family residential units currently comprise a relatively small proportion of STR listings although HdL currently does not have data to indicate the number or proportion of multi-family residential buildings that may be operating entirely as STRs (i.e., discontinued use for long-term rentals). There also appears to be a sizable proportion of accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, among the currently active STR listings, contrary to the City’s Zoning Regulations, which warrants further analysis by staff.
C. Unpermitted STRs
While many STR operators have complied with the City’s regulations, there remains a number of unpermitted STRs operating in Pacifica. Some may be knowingly operating without registering with the City to avoid taxation, while others may simply be unaware of the requirement to register with the City. The Finance Division of the Administrative Services Department has engaged the consultant HdL to assist with administration of the STR program. HdL supports the business license tax, TOT, and STR permit registrations for operators. It also assists with investigation of identified STRs listed on various websites, apps, and other services to identify and contact the operators and advise them of the requirement to register with the City.
Since engaging HdL for STR administration services, it has identified approximately 26 potential operators that are unregistered with the City. City staff with HdL’s support is continuing to work towards 100 percent registration of all active STR operators.
Registration of unregistered STRs is important because it facilitates compliance with the guest safety standards of the Ordinance, ensures collection of TOT to fund important City services utilized by STR guests, creates a fairer cost comparison between STRs and hotel/motel lodging options, and provides the City with contact information for operators in the event of a concern. For these reasons, staff and HdL will continue its efforts in this regard.

D. Enforcement Activities
Staff consulted with the Police Chief and Code Enforcement Officer in preparation of this report to obtain a summary of enforcement activity associated with STRs. While most STRs have been operated without incident since adoption of the Ordinance, there have been a small number of STRs that have caused quality of life concerns or otherwise failed to comply with the operating requirements contained in the Ordinance.
In general, the number of STR complaints to the Police Department and Code Enforcement Division has been relatively low. The Police Department receives complaints about STRs infrequently while the Code Enforcement Division has only identified six STRs that required investigation and follow-up to achieve compliance.
Many complaints do not result in any identified violations, and appear related to neighbors disapproving of the operation of STRs in their neighborhoods. Other complaints have related mainly to overall neighborhood parking congestion rather than citable offenses for improper parking. Of complaints received, a common one relates to noise from music or parties. Most operators have resolved these issues within a few months of being contacted by the City. In some cases, the operators have installed devices within the STRs to monitor noise levels and to receive notifications from the device when noise levels exceed an established threshold.
Since adoption of the Ordinance, the City has found the need to initiate STR permit revocation proceedings for only one operator. The City has since revoked the permit and the residential dwelling unit has returned to use for long-term occupancy. Overall, most STR operators have complied with the City’s operating requirements or have promptly addressed violations after contact by the City.
E. Summary and Recommendation
The City’s STR program is still relatively new. The number of STRs is a small percentage of dwelling units, especially for a coastal community. There does not appear to be significant neighborhood problems or impacts to public health, safety, and welfare from STR operations, and the limited number of violations reported have been promptly resolved. For these reasons, and due to staffing limitations in the Planning Department and numerous high-priority planning projects, the City Manager does not recommend undertaking modifications to the Ordinance at this time.
Staff will continue to gather data on the number and types of STRs, their relationships with other residential dwelling units, and best practices of other local agencies with respect to balancing operation of STRs with public health, safety, and welfare. In addition, staff will continue its efforts with the assistance of expert consultants to identify unregistered STRs to bring them into compliance with the Ordinance and all applicable tax and other regulations. Staff will also continue to monitor the STR program to determine if modifications to the Ordinance may be required in the future, and will begin steps to assess, and enforce as necessary, the situation with respect to ADUs being offered as STRs.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
None identified.

RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
• “Fiscal Sustainability” The City’s efforts to ensure registration of all STRs should increase tax revenues in a manner consistent with this City Council Goal. • “An Engaged Community” Consideration of the STR program in a public forum expands public participation in a manner consistent with this City Council Goal. • “A Healthy and Compassionate Community” Evaluating the relationship of STRs to the City’s housing stock is consistent with this City Council Goal.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Actions to ensure registration of all STRs will increase collection of the City’s business license and transient occupancy taxes. These collections should have a net positive impact on the City’s revenues after considering enforcement costs.

BACKGROUND:
Each year, the City of Pacifica adopts an annual operating budget that reflects the planned activities for the next fiscal year based on the best information available at the time of adoption.
At mid-year, staff revisits the projections and reports to the Council any changes that are needed to reflect new information and keep the City budget on track.
The City Council adopted the current FY 2021-22 Budget on June 28, 2021, which reflected the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic and included the projected pandemic-induced losses in revenue. On March 14, 2022, staff presented the FY2021-22 Midyear Budget analysis, which showed the budget was on track. During the mid-year budget review, the Council authorized additional adjustments to the FY 2021-22 Budget that included factoring-in salary savings and replenishing some General Fund reserves.
On April 11, 2022, staff presented the Narrative Budget report outlining the Budget planning process, methodology, timeline, and long-term financial forecast and provided the City Manager’s recommended budget strategies. The City's long-term financial forecast continues to project an ongoing structural deficit. Therefore, staff proposed using the modified zero-based budget methodology, a systematic financial management strategy commonly used by local governments to help achieve more cost-effective delivery of public services, which was discussed at length during the meeting.
On May 23, 2022, staff presented the General Fund Base Budget, preliminary position recommendations, Master Fee Schedule and Proposed Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2022- 23 and received City Council feedback for development of the Recommended Budget options, which is the subject for this report. Since the last meeting, staff prepared the Proposed FY 2022-23 Budget for all other city funds including recommended Capital Improvement Program 15 Packet Pg. 460
Pacifica City Council 2
June 13, 2022
for the upcoming FY 2022-23 Budget.
The primary focus of today’s discussion is to provide Council with the recommended program options for the FY 2021-22 Proposed Budget and get additional policy direction for any additional inclusions in the budget prior to the adoption at the next meeting.
Adjustments to the Base Budget
Staff also made a few minor adjustments to the General Fund baseline budget to include some refinements related to the previously approved second year ARPA budget allocations.
Returned ERAF Revenues
At the last meeting, staff discussed the proposed trailer bill language published by the Department of Finance in connection with the Proposed Budget that was designed to harm cities by permanently “capping” the ERAF funds that would be returned to them (after schools have been fully funded) and, instead, use these local revenues to pay the State’s in-Lieu Vehicle License Fee (VLF) backfill obligations. The San Mateo County’s City Managers and Finance Directors, as well as cities, have prepared strong opposition letters to the Returned ERAF trailer bill language as both VLF backfill and Returned ERAF are due to the local agencies.
The recently-released joint legislative budget agreement received by staff since the last Council meeting recommended that the excess (returned) ERAF/VLF shortfall trailer bill be rejected and the FY2019-20 VLF shortfall backfill be approved. This is good news and the result of the Cities’ individual and collective advocacy efforts, that resulted in successful reversal of the trailer bill with the strong leadership of the County’s state delegation.
Staff reversed the negative budget impact of $216,000 from the proposed cap that was previously reported in Disaster Accounting Fund (Fund 38). The FY 2022-23 Recommended Budget adds back this amount to the Disaster Accounting Fund revenues. Staff will continue to monitor any new development on this matter. Unfortunately reversing this trailer bill doesn’t take care of the growing VLF shortfall issue for future years, so the long-term solution will need to be developed in the future.
City Manager’s Recommendations for the FY 2022-23 Budget The goal of any budget process is to develop the City's Budget by completing a full analysis of the City's revenue structure and current service level to identify necessary service increase and/or reduction options, which, when combined, will reach a balanced and sustainable budget. 15 Packet Pg. 461
Pacifica City Council 3
June 13, 2022
Economic recovery continues to be one of the prime goals and objectives for the upcoming year. At the last budget meeting, staff presented the Base Budget with and without factoring in the one-time ARPA revenues. The Base Budget showed the operating surplus of approximately $1.9 million when the full ARPA revenues were taken into account. However, when the ARPA revenues were backed out, the Base Budget showed a structural deficit of $2.7 million at the Base Budget level before any additional options further described in this report.
Since last meeting each City Department was given an opportunity to submit their budget requests in their priority order of importance with the reference to the Council’s goals and priorities. Knowing the challenges of the City’s long-term financial outlook and projected future base budget deficit, all department directors knew going into the budget process that the prospects for funding new programs and initiatives not mandated by law, funded by outside sources or that result in recovery of the City’s revenue base would be challenging to achieve.
The Recommended Budget is balanced and includes new programs and services recommended for funding in the FY 2022-23. However, staff recognizes that some of these options may not be sustainable beyond the upcoming budget if the local economy and the City’s revenue base does not improve in future years.
In developing budget recommendations for service changes, the City Manager had to balance the knowledge of future revenue shortfall with the Council’s overall strategic vision, staffing capacity, and impacts on the City operations and services provided to the community. The goal of this process was to identify necessary and required service change options, which in combination will reach a balanced and sustainable budget, and to achieve a balanced budget while preserving as much of City services as possible. To this end, the City Manager reviewed department requests and formulated a packaged budget recommendation of enhancements for the Council’s consideration as later presented in this report and in Attachments 1-6.
The City Manager identified the following priority groups for his ranking of the recommended Budget options:
Priority A - Non-discretionary / Legal / Safety Matters Priority B - Recruitments / Retention / Capacity
Priority C - Organizational / Financial/Planning Efficiency Staff structured the Preliminary Budget Recommendations in these categories: 1) Additional programs and initiatives, 2) Programs funded under the American Rescue Plan Act; 3) Revenue Enhancements; and 4) Recommended Budget Transfers
1. Additional programs included in the General Fund budget (Attachment 2).
At the last meeting, staff presented a preliminary list of position recommendations that the City Manager recommended to include in the upcoming FY 2022-23 General Fund Budget. Staff completed the costing and included those changes per Council direction provided at the last meeting. All together there are 19 recommended budget options included in the FY 2022-23 Recommended Budget for Council consideration.
Priority A - Non-discretionary / Legal / Safety Matters
1. Anticipated additional legal work related to the upcoming labor negotiations. All employment contracts expire on June 30, 2023 and the negotiations work will have to commence no later than January, 2023. - $100,000
2. Additional Contractual Services to ensure OSHA and other Safety Compliance - $30,000
3. Additional budget allocation for citywide election - $90,000
4. New Fire Station Alerting System Implementation - $28,000
5. Housing Element Update - $20,000
6. ADA Transition Plan Update - $160,000

22. Additional Grant and Federal Revenue Reimbursements in PB&R - $504,853
4. New Budget Transfers included in the FY 2022-23 (Attachment 5).
23. Restoring Annual Contribution to the Vehicle Replacement Fund - $100,000
24. Creating a New Fire Equipment Replacement Fund with ongoing annual allocation.
There is no fiscal impact for this option as it just represents different accounting practice that will replace the former allocation towards Capital Outlay included in the Base Budget with the transfer in the new Fire Equipment Replacement Fund Additional information about these budget options could be found in Attachments 2-5 to this report.
Projected Fund Balance Structure and Budgetary Reserves The Proposed FY 2022-23 Operating and Capital Budget is being presented as a balanced budget, meaning that the City’s operating expenditures do not exceed general revenues.
At the last meeting staff reported that the City’s FY 2022-23 Budget will be largely balanced by the use of ARPA funds. The eased reporting requirements for small agencies now allow for more flexibility in the use of these funds. Staff has also reported projected future structural deficit of approximately $2.7 million at the current baseline level of services without applying ARPA relief funds. A structural deficit exists when the general revenues can no longer support operating expenditures without applying additional budget strategies to balance the Budget.
This means that the City budget in the future years (beyond the upcoming FY2022-23) will neither be sustainable, nor compliant with the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) best practices unless the City’s revenue base changes or substantial programmatic changes are made in the FY 2023-24 Budget to balance.
If all program options identified in this report are approved by City Council, the General Fund will project a small ending surplus of about $3,000, and will maintain all previously approved reserves which is necessary for fiscal and operational sustainability. 15 Packet Pg. 463
Pacifica City Council 5
June 13, 2022
After factoring in the above-mentioned budget options the General Fund Base Budget revenues and transfers are projected at $47.3 million, including the $4.6 million General Fund portion of ARPA funds. The total General expenditures and transfers out are also budgeted at $47.3, which includes a one-time contribution of $655,000 towards the FY 2022-23 CIP Budget.
The table below demonstrates the Net change to the General Fund Balance.
After applying all changes described above and recognizing ARPA relief funds and programming a portion of it for the FY 2022-23 General Fund Budget, the Proposed General Fund Budget will have approximately $3,000 surplus, leaving about $5.4 million in the Unassigned General Fund Balance, which is about 12% of the City’s Operating expenditures in addition to 10% or $4.7 million policy reserves.
The City’s Fund Balance Policy identifies fund balances (or reserves) which fall into the following categories: non-spendable items or portions of fund balance that cannot be liquidated, restricted amounts for use by outside agencies, committed amounts by Council action such as emergency /contingency reserves and assigned balances to pay off unfunded liabilities and to fund infrastructure improvements.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 54 requirements and the City policy, the Council established the following designations or contingencies of General Fund Committed Balance. ➢ Budget Shortfall Policy Reserve of 10% of Expenditures ($4.7 million) ➢ Facilities Maintenance & Replacement ($0.55 million) - a one-time policy reduction of $150,000 for Station 71 CIP project planned for the FY 2022-23 ➢ Compensated Absences Reserve ($0.2 million)
➢ Child Care Reserve ($0.5 million)
➢ Legal Reserves ($0.1 million)
The General Fund balances for the FY 2022-23 Recommended Budget are detailed in the table below. If all options presented in this report are approved by the Council, the City will have a balanced FY 2022-23 Budget with an undesignated General Fund Balance of $5.4 million. 15 Packet Pg. 464
Pacifica City Council 6
June 13, 2022
Maintaining a sufficient level of the projected ending fund balance is necessary for fiscal and operational sustainability. It is especially critical in the current uncertain economic situation when the City projects a long-term structural deficit in the future years if the City’s revenue base does not change.
After factoring-in the restricted reserves and operating contingency the ending undesignated General Fund balance is projected at $5.4 million or 12% of the General Fund operating expenditures (excluding one-time and capital transfers), which is lower than the Government Finance Officers Association of the US and Canada (GFOA) recommendation for government entities of no less than two months of regular general fund operating expenditures, which is approximately $7.8 million for the City of Pacifica in FY2022-23. However, if combined with the 10% Budget Shortfall reserve of $4.7 million mentioned above, the General Fund reserves exceed the minimum-recommended threshold and are compliant with the GFOA guidelines.
Other Funds
Staff used the same basic assumptions for all other funds to factor-in 2% cost of living increase to most contract and professional services categories and 1.5% for materials and supply categories. The summary of Revenues, Expenditures, and Fund Balances for all of the City’s fund categories is shown in the table below and further described in Attachment 7.
Enterprise Funds consist of the Wastewater Operating and Capital and Beach Parking Funds.
Enterprise funds are used for services that are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise. The FY 2022-23 total enterprise funds budget is $28.3 million, 15 Packet Pg. 465
Pacifica City Council 7
June 13, 2022
which is 28.3% of the City’s overall budget. Sewer funds are used to account for sewage collection, treatment, major replacements, and maintenance and protection improvements to the sewer system. Sewer charges of $18.6 million are based on a 3.5% rate increase in FY 2022-
23. The sewer operating expenditures include the same inflationary base budget assumptions.
The Salaries and Benefit costs of approximately $5.4 million are based on 14 FTE allocated to the Sewer Fund and include all current MOU provisions.
The Recommended FY 2022-23 Budget includes the following program additions further described in Attachment 6.
1. Reclassification of a Senior Engineer to Engineering Manager Position - $9,534
2. Addition of a part-time Operator in Training Program - $35,000
3. Addition of an Assistant / Associate Engineer Position - $201,389 The Beach Parking Fund is used to account for parking services to residents and visitors. The revenues are projected at $0.7 million, which is in-line with the FY 2021-22 Revised Budget Special Revenue and Capital Funds are used to account for specific revenue sources or financial resources for which expenditures are restricted by law or administrative action to specific purposes. This Category includes Gas Tax and Streets Funds, General Capital, Drainage, Housing in-lieu, Parking in-Lieu, Park in-Lieu, PB&R Special Revenue and Roy Davies Trust, Disaster Accounting, and other funds.
The FY 2022-23 revenues for this category is $19 million and includes revised estimates for the Returned ERAF revenues in the Disaster Accounting Fund per the most recent information. This is an increase of $216,730 as described above. Also included in this category is an increase in Gas Tax revenues of $0.2 million and another $0.2 million in Street Maintenance Fund to account for the new Impact Fees. The FY 2022-23 expenditures of $18.6 million for this Category represent around 19% of the City's total budget and include the recommended FY 2022-23 CIP Budget allocation.
Internal Service Funds serve the needs of the City and are used to account for Citywide services on a cost-reimbursement basis. These funds accommodate vehicle, employee benefits, and risk management needs of the City and are supported by the funds that receive benefit. The FY 2022-23 budget for this category is $3 million, which is 3% of the City’s budget.
The Motor Pool Replacement Fund receives a transfer of $100,000 from the General Fund as described above and in the attached Budget Form.
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for all ongoing debt payment obligations. The FY 2022-23 Budget of $2.9 million factors-in all debt service payment obligations according to the current debt service schedules and includes the payment on the Pension Obligation Refunding Bonds. Staff also factored-in additional allocation to the Debt Service Fund to account for the future payment on financing Civic Center improvement project. The Debt Service Fund represents around 3% of the City’s total budget.
Additional details on any individual funds and their projected fund balances could be found in Attachment 7.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The City Council is being asked to provide input and direction on the FY2022-23 Proposed Budget. No alternative action is identified.

With the labor contracts expiring in June, 2023, an additional allocation towards the legal cost will be required to successfully renegotiate and close all labor agreements.
Impact of Change
Strategic workforce planning is the essential link between municipal services that the City desires to deliver to its citizens, with the City’s human capital. The City’s labor agreements are expiring on June 30, 2023.
Given the complexity and the large number of bargaining groups, the new round of labor negotiations will have to start no later than January, 2023 to meet and confer in good faith to reach new agreements regarding wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment by July 1, 2023.
Alternatives
There is no reasonable alternative to this request. The new labor agreements will have to be negotiated and the professional legal help will be needed. The Council may consider using specialized services for labor negotiations rather than the City’s legal team which could be slightly less expensive.

November 2022 represents a regular general municipal election cycle for the City of Pacifica. There will be three City Council district seats up for election and the City is planning to place two measures on the ballot for the November 2022 regular general municipal election. Based on estimated election costs received from the San Mateo County Elections Division, an estimate total expenditure of $160,000 is projected for the City’s expenses related to the November 2022 election. The FY 2021-22 base budget included $70,000 for elections expenses related to the redistricting process based on the 2020 U.S.
Census data. The additional expenses necessary for the FY22-23 budget above last year’s election budget will be $90,000. While the City has some discretion on placing city-initiated measures on the ballot, the election for City Council seats is a mandated cost that must be borne in the regular even-year election cycles.
Factors Driving the Request for Change
Regular City Council municipal election cycle.
Placement of a proposed revenue measure on the ballot for Fiscal Sustainability of the City to address projected structural budget deficit.
Placement of a proposed advisory measure on the ballot to gauge citizen interest in amendments related to prohibition of safe and sane fireworks.
Alternatives
Alternative options include City Council direction to not place city-initiated measures on the ballot for the November 2022 election. This would require a deviation from previous direction received from City Council. There is no alternative to the regular election for City Council district seats, as that is a mandated action.
Cost Summary

REQUEST TITLE: New Fire Station Alerting System Implementation Request Summary
Because the current station alerting system is old, outdated and parts have become unavailable, we are putting in service a new Fire Station Alerting System this year and there are costs for monitoring, servicing, licensing, and support along with the ATT fiber optic lines to make it operational. This new system will cost $28,000 per year and will improve response times and increase firefighter health benefits through effortless programmable alerting options and will last several years Factors Driving the Request for Change
The system is in its final stages of implementation and should be ready for operation in the next couple of months. If approved, the City would have a state of the art Fire Station Alerting System that is a more compliant industry standard alerting system. The impact of this change will be measured by seeing increased dispatch and response times.
Alternatives
There are no safe or viable alternatives since the system is replacing the old legacy system that is outdated and unable to find replacement parts for.
Cost Summary
The cost could go up with vendor initiated increases in the coming years. Compared to current costs, it is a larger cost but appropriate for the type of system.

Factors Driving the Request for Change (section to be completed for additions only) The City has experienced multiple ADA access lawsuits. An updated ADA Transition Plan will identify City facilities requiring ADA access upgrades and enable continuation of the capital program to upgrade those facilities. An updated ADA Transition Plan will allow the City to focus programmatically on priority ADA access upgrades to improve access and reduce liability.
Alternatives
Continue with the City’s current ADA Transition Plan which will limit the City’s ability to make targeted ADA access investments.

EXPENSE AMENDMENT – PROGRAM CHANGE FORM
PROGRAM: GL Code – Admin – CM Office
REQUEST TITLE: City Manager’s Office Reorganization
Request Summary
With the recent departure of the Assistant City Manager/Planning Director, the ongoing vacancy of the Executive Assistant/Deputy City Clerk (currently back-filled with temporary assistance), and the increasing demands on the City Clerk and Records function in the City Manager’s Office, the City Manager has evaluated potential reorganization changes and will continue developing specific recommendations and budget impacts related to this reorganization that will be coming forward to Council once fully developed.
Impact of Change
This request will result in a new organizational structure in Administration, Economic Development, and Planning departments to ensure efficient and functional delivery of these services. This action will position the City Manager’s Office and Planning Department to meet the increased demands internally and externally, maximize effectiveness, enhance service outcomes and promote transparency.
Administration
This action will include replacing the existing Executive Assistant/Deputy City Clerk combined position with two separate full-time positions (Executive Assistant and Deputy City Clerk). The City conducted several unsuccessful recruitments to fill the Executive Assistant/Deputy City Clerk position. This process revealed the need to divide this position into two due to the distinct nature of the job and skillset. In addition to handling day-to-day administrative matters, the Executive Assistant position will also be tasked with communication, complex reporting, and risk management duties. At the same time, the Deputy City Clerk will provide critical backup to the City Clerk function, records management, public record requests, and various Council liaison services, which becomes especially critical during an election year.
Planning and Economic Development
After the Assistant City Manager/Planning Director position became vacant, City Manager re-evaluated options for the reorganization and reassignment of duties. This action includes restoring the Planning Director position with a prime focus on leading the Planning Department's strategic goals and priorities.
The Assistant City Manager's duties will be restructured to focus on finance and administrative services, as well as oversight of the economic development function. This action will require the restoration of the Economic Development Manager position to assume the day-to-day operations for the Economic Development program and provide assistance in the future execution of recommendations from the Economic Opportunities Study that is currently being conducted as part of the Vision 2025 & Beyond Strategic Financial Sustainability Study.
These additional positions are being requested as part of the position control for the FY 2022-23 Budget.
In addition, the City Manager is currently working on identifying other program options and potential savings to partially offset the increased cost of changes in these departments.

Staffing for new positions is costed upon the top step, fully burdened annual cost at monthly salary rates set as an average for the City’s pre-negotiated list of comparison agencies. Based on the City’s current practices, most appointments are made at the mid-range salary scale, and the actual annual cost is likely to be lower in the first few years of the position being filled.

Child Care Staffing Adjustments and Reorganization
Request Summary
Child Care Teachers: Adding three full-time child care teachers (previously approved by Council, but put on hold due to pandemic impacts) beginning FY 22-23 will strengthen and support staffing levels as well as allow the enrollment of more children from the current waiting list. The estimated cost of $289,440 would be offset by program revenues of the allowable increased enrollment.
Child Care Assistant Supervisor to Child Care Supervisor: Currently, the City's child care program has only one Supervisor position, which is focused on the administrative side of the program. Given the increasing complexity of child care, including the recent and proposed staff expansion, the program warrants an equivalent supervisor position focused on the operational side of the program. This is proposed to begin in FY 22-23 with an estimated cost of $13,980 and would be offset by revenues of the allowable increased enrollment.
Site Coordinator to Senior Child Care Coordinator: The Site Coordinator series warrants a higher-level classification that adds supportive administrative, project management, and leadership responsibilities to the series and creates development opportunities within the series and succession planning related to the Child Care Supervisor role. It will also provide support to operations in light of the recent and proposed staff expansions. This is proposed to begin in FY 22-23 with an estimated cost of $5,609 and would be offset by revenues of the allowable increased enrollment.
Factors Driving the Request for Change (section to be completed for additions only) For several years prior to the pandemic, it has been quite difficult to recruit, hire and retain the part-time staff needed to satisfy program operational needs and to maintain required ratios. This has forced the hiring of staff members through temporary agencies in order to meet compliance standards. These challenges have continued post-pandemic. In order to address this problem, City Council previously approved the addition of several child care teacher positions, the hiring for which was put on hold due to pandemic impacts on the child care program. The program is now ramping back up to allow more children into the program off the waiting this. This requires hiring these additional teachers, which are projected to be budget neutral due to increased child care revenues for being able to enroll more children. In addition, in order to support the increase in staff and enrollment there is a need for reorganization of the administration in order to strengthen program operations and staffing.
These changes will facilitate, at minimum, the enrollment of at least 70 children from the waiting list, supporting local families in need of our services.
The alternative would not allow for expansion of the program and the subsequent revenue that would come with it. There would be more children on the waiting list for longer periods of time for families in need of child care and loss of opportunity for organizational efficiencies and succession planning.

Recreation Coordinator to Recreation Supervisor: Beginning in FY 22-23, reclassifying this position will strengthen the management of the department/division while promoting succession and retention at a cost of $21,410. While there are no direct offsetting revenues, it is expected that this move will increase efficiencies which will assist in program revenue generation.
Factors Driving the Request for Change
With the promotion of our former Recreation Assistant Supervisor to the Senior Services Supervisor position, the recreation division is in need of senior level position. In order to support the business needs of the department and division as well as to promote retention and provide an opportunity for succession planning, the reclassifying/promoting of a Recreation Coordinator to a Supervisor will fit more appropriately to the job duties and hierarchy of the department.
Alternatives
The alternative would not support the business needs of the department/division or needed retention and succession planning.
Cost Summary
The total cost is $21,410. Compared to current costs, it is a slight increase in budget. There are no direct offsetting revenues, however, the department will be making significant revenue increases over the projected base budget.

PROGRAM: Public Works - Parks – GL Acct: Salaries-Regular and Benefits REQUEST TITLE: Reclassify Ranger to Lead Ranger
Request Summary
The Ranger classification, of which the City has three rangers, requires one position to lead the group and create development opportunities within the series. The Ranger team is critical to the City's responsibilities for the beach, parking lot, and coastal trail maintenance and enforcement efforts.
The Ranger’s highest annual salary range for FY 22-23 is $77,721 + $59,208 for benefits and retirement. The proposed Lead Ranger’s highest annual salary range for FY 22-23 is $81,596 + $61,026 for benefits and retirement. Based on this, an additional $5,693 will be needed for the reclassification to cover salary and benefits. Staff requests that the Finance Department confirm the actual costs of the salary and benefits.
Factors Driving the Request for Change
There is a high attrition rate from the Ranger program because there is no position that leads the group and provides direction. This change would lead to less turnover in the Ranger classification.
Alternatives
There is no alternative to this request.

PROGRAM: General Ledger AccountREQUEST TITLE: Unfunded Pension Liability Funding Policy (85% funded status in 20 years) Request Summary
The proposed program establishes a pension funding policy with a discretionary reserve roughly equivalent to 1.5% of the City’s $255 million accrued pension liability or ($4 million) to mitigate adverse market volatility, preserve budget flexibility and ultimately, long-term sustainability. While this proposal would reduce available resources to fund other programs in the short-run, it is not an expenditure, but rather a savings program that will generate investment income and reduce the City’s exposure to market volatility associated with its pension obligation for decades to come. A reserve of this magnitude, while discretionary, would require annual contributions of approximately $167,500 to fully fund such a reserve in 20 years or $235 thousand in 15 years.
Background and Discussion
Assuming CalPERS can attain a long-term average investment rate of return of 6.8% to offset pension costs, the City’s accrued pension liability is approximately $255 million and has an estimated $200 million in the CalPERS investment portfolio.
The City is responsible for making up its $55 unfunded accrued liability (UAL) which is recovered as one component of the City’s annually required pension contribution.
This delicate pension balancing act is extremely sensitive to investment earnings/losses to offset the cost/affordability of the pension benefit.
The City’s $200 million in assets, already with CalPERS, is subject to significant annual volatility (+/- 12% from the average expected investment return of 6.8%).
The last two decades have shown us that investment volatility can significantly exacerbate the City’s obligation very quickly eroding the City’s ability to fund other programs.
By exercising a disciplined approach to annually fund the City’s §115 pension trust “Rainy Day Fund,” the City can protect other community programs from getting squeezed out due to pension asset volatility.
When fully funded, a reserve target of 1.5% of the City’s Accrued liability would provide the City roughly 85% probability (Confidence Level) that the reserve would be sufficient provide 3 years of annual UAL payment protection and 5 planning years to prepare for a 10.5% investment loss which would result in an experience loss of 17.3% from the assumed investment return of 6.8%.
Alternatively, the Council endeavor to establish a reserve target of closer to 2% of the accrued liability or approximately $5 million based on the Pacifica’s current accrued liability. This reserve would increase the probability to 90% that such a reserve would be sufficient to fund three years of UAL payments ( e.g. an investment loss of -12.9%). Such a reserve could be funded over 20 years with contribution of approximately $206,500 per year.

Expense related to continuing effort aligning with citywide document scanning / digitization project to budget $20,000 in City Clerk's and $15,000 in Finance Department budget for FY 2022-23 to scan hard copy records and import into the Laserfiche system with OCR, search and meta-data enabled capability for ease of records retention and access and to reduce paper / hard copy record dependencies. This effort enables the City to be more responsive to document requests from internal staff and from members of the public.
Factors Driving the Request for Change
Modernization of records, more efficient record access and retrieval, aligns with space planning for renovated civic center facilities to reduce storage space for hard copy records, enables better and more efficient compliance with the City’s records retention policy and schedules.
Alternatives
The alternative option is to reduce or not approve the requested budget expenditure for this purpose, which would result in continued reliance on hard copy records and additional expense for off-site storage and on-demand retrieval requests.
Cost Summary
An additional $35,000 is requested to continue document digitization efforts for the Citywide records. A similar amount that was budgeted in the FY 21-22 for City Manager’s Office for document digitization / scanning.

REQUEST TITLE:
Administration – IT – GL Acct: Salaries – Part-Time (01.300345.51300.0000.000) Add additional part-time IST support assistance
Request Summary
An additional PT IST Support Assistant (20 hours a week, no benefits) is being proposed that will primarily be responsible for supporting the Police Department, which currently accounts for over 1/3 of all IST helpdesk tickets. This position will help alleviate the day-to-day entry-level workload and tasks, so that the two IST analysts can be focus on higher-level projects. This position’s hourly range will be updated from $20-$25/hr to $25-$30/hr to stay competitive and would cost $35,000 to be added to the part-time salary budget for a total of $60,000.
Factors Driving the Request for Change
The IST division currently supports 173 benefited FTEs, 63 Commission/Committee members, and 5 Council members. IST will soon be providing account support for an additional 74 PT employees. This is a total of 315 persons with technology needs. The City’s technology needs have grown over the past 20 years, with increased non-IT department staffing, projects, requests, and cybersecurity responsibilities, while IT staffing has not grown significantly in the same period.
Current IT staff have an average of 80 combined tickets open at any given time and frequently get tied up in desktop level support calls, and projects have been delayed and impacted as a result. To meet these demands and provide improved service, an additional part-time IST Support Assistant is being proposed to help alleviate the IST division’s workload. This impact can be measured in the completion of several backlogged and current projects (new phone system, IST Strategic Plan, ESRI GIS, and wifiimprovements), improved service delivery and response times, lower average open tickets, and the ability to offer a helpdesk phone number that can be properly staffed with enough resources.
Alternatives
An analysis of several options was conducted. Staffing agencies Robert Half and Stepford were contacted for pricing.
Option 1: Full-time IST Technician: $80,000-$100,000 salary range ($120,000 a year total including benefits and pension obligations). These figures are based on averages from equivalent positions of nearby comparative agencies per City of Pacifica’s MOUs.
Option 2: Staffing firm for a technician (Robert Half), all-inclusive rate range of $55-$66/hour ($55,000 to $66,000 for 1,000 hours a year) equivalent to a part-time employee.
Option 3: Contract with a firm like Stepford who provides IT services to other agencies (Colma, Half Moon Bay, Scotts Valley, Woodside Fire). Proposal includes 12 hours/week for 50 weeks, equal to 600 hours a year at a cost of $7,500 a month, or $90,000. Hourly rate of non-contract is $220/hour and $375/hour for overtime after-hours.

The funding for this account needs to be increased to 2020-2021 allocated budget numbers due to the aging Fire Stations. By bringing that funding back a portion of the $67,000 cut in the current year's budget. The additional $30,000 will be added to the current funding and used to maintain and repair the facilities due to unknown damages (roof leaks, window leaks, plumbing issues, etc.) that could occur throughout the year and since the building is a working Fire Station, employees need to be protected from unsafe building conditions.
Factors Driving the Request for Change
The Fire Stations are very old and as they age even more, they need more repairs and more maintenance. Repairs and maintenance to the Fire Stations would add useful life to the buildings.
The Fire Stations would have regular maintenance, and when needed, timely repairs. The on-going maintenance and needed repairing of the Fire Station could possibly prevent larger, more costly repairs from occurring.

Factors Driving the Request for Change
The City Council has identified creation of a new Quarry Specific Plan as a Council Priority Item. The integral nature of the Rockaway Beach commercial district with the Quarry creates a logical connection necessitating an update to the decades-old Rockaway Beach Specific Plan to ensure optimal planning outcomes such as economic development and resource protection.

PROGRAM: General Ledger Account- 01.500540.51200.0313.000 REQUEST TITLE: Two-year ARPA funded Records Clerk position Request Summary
Staff is requesting a two-year, full-time, befitted ARPA funded Records Clerk position to address unprecedented workload increases due to legislatively mandated data reporting requirements. This position, which is expected to cost $120,500 per year for two-years, will allow Police Department Records staff to address legal mandates in what is already an understaffed Division.
In 2011, Records staff we reduced from three to two FTE positions. In recent years, increased workload due to a myriad of legislatively mandated tasks has created a significant deficit in the hours required to perform functions of the Division in comparison to the available hours with only two FTEs.
Legislative mandates include the manner in which criminal records and reports are processed, reporting of data to various governmental entities, and an increase in tasks surrounding the sealing of certain records. These tasks have specific timelines for completion that are mandated by law. Additionally, the January 1, 2022 data collection related to the Racial Identity and Profiling Act (RIPA) and well as criminal statistic reporting to Federal and State entities (CIBRS and NIBRS) that began in early 2022 has created additional, significant burdens for Records personnel. Prior to the recent additional tasks, a study of hours needed to complete required tasks versus available personnel hours reflected a nearly 100 hour deficit.
Some of these hours are made up with the assistance of volunteers. The addition of this two-year ARPA position would provide significant relief for staff as they work to meet mandated requirements.
Alternatives
The alternative to this request is the funding of a permanent Records Clerk position funded by the General Fund, which appears unlikely due to continued budget constraints.
Cost Summary
As this position is ARPA funded, there will be no impact to the General Fund for 2022-23 and 2023-24.

Factors Driving the Request for Change:
This position will be an APRA funded position for the Finance Department. This position is needed to back fill staffing during the implementation of the new Enterprise Resource Planning System that was approved in the previous year’s CIP. Without this additional staffing, we will not be able to fully implement the new ERP in a timely manner, which could delay the go live date as well as increase implementation costs. Not delegating enough resources to the implementation can also negatively impact the implementation itself and result in a reduced final product to Cities overall usage of the new ERP. This has been confirmed by numerous other cities and organizations who have gone through an ERP implementation. This Position will be a limit term position stretching the life of the ERP implementation which is estimated to take 16 months.
Alternatives
The ERP implementation would take a Full FTE to complete, therefore no reasonable alternative is available.
Cost Summary
The Senior Accountant Position highest annual salary range for FY 22-23 is $130,956 + $48,634 for benefits and retirement. Based on this, an additional $179,590 will be needed to cover salary and benefits.

Request Summary
Requesting $50k of FY 22-23 ARPA funds be allocated to the Shop Pacifica e-Gift Card program for the entirety of fiscal year 22-23. Funds will be used to run large scale promotions which increases local spending, bringing in $100-$150k of new funds to the City’s economy. A portion of these funds will then be returned to the City in the form of Sales Tax Revenues.
Factors Driving the Request for Change
The Goals and Priorities for Fiscal year 2022-23 were adopted by the City Council April 11, 2022 and include “Fiscal Sustainability”. “Fiscal Sustainability includes investing in economic development to increase revenues.
In an effort to invest in the local Pacifica economy post-pandemic, keep tax dollars local, and drive economic recovery, the City is proposing a one-time $50k allocation of ARPA funds to the Shop Pacifica e-Gift card program.
The one-time allocation of these funds would be used to enable the Economic Development Department and the Economic Development Committee to continue running Shop Pacifica e-Gift Card Promotions, on a larger scale than previously seen.
Large scale promotions will bring in additional revenue to local Pacifica businesses, increase business activities, and keep tax dollars local. Investing $50k of ARPA funds to the Shop Pacifica e-Gift Card Program will bring in between $100-$150k of “new money” to the Pacifica economy. In addition, a portion of these funds will be returned to the City in the form of sales tax revenues.
These funds will stay in the community and directly and broadly benefit both Pacifica residents and Pacifica Businesses. If approved, success would be measured by the increase of sales tax revenues to the City for the duration of the year.
Alternatives
Alternatives to this request include not funding, or funding below the proposed amount. Should Council choose an alternative action, the benefits identified should no longer be anticipated.
Cost Summary

This would allow the Fire department to access funding without going to Council for additional funds to purchase replacement equipment. This action will allow Personal Protective Equipment and other fire equipment to be up-to-date and in compliance with fire service standards.
This action establishes a new Fire Equipment Replacement fund with the intention to contribute annually.
Alternatives
The Council may delay contributions to the Fire equipment fund to a future year, which will ultimately make this more expensive.

REQUEST TITLE:
General Ledger Account- Wastewater Enterprise – Salaries - Regular Change WWTP Senior Engineer Position to WWTP Engineering Manager Position.
Request Summary
To deliver the 10-Year, $120M Wastewater Capital Improvements Program, we propose reclassifying the WWTP Senior Engineer to WWTP Engineering Manager. The WWTP Engineering Manager position is a more experienced position that will: manage projects; manage consultants running projects; and develop and manage a new assistant/associate engineering position to deliver the collection, pump station, and treatment projects.
The WWTP Engineering Manager’s salary range will be identical to the salary range of the WWTP Plant Manager and WWTP Collections System Manager. Thus the WWTP Engineering Manager’s highest annual salary range for FY 22-23 will be $149,485 + $81,917 for benefits and retirement. The current WWTP Senior Engineer’s salary for FY 22-23 will be $142,614 + $79,254 for benefits and retirement.
The annual difference will be $6,871+ $2,663 for benefits and retirement. Consequently, additional budget will need to be made and divided evenly between the Collection Systems and the Plant.
Factors Driving the Request for Change (section to be completed for additions only) The Engineering Manager – Wastewater position requires a more in-depth technical knowledge of wastewater treatment, pump station, and collection system design and construction; and the management expertise necessary to guide multi-million dollar projects delivered in the same fiscal year, by different project type (pipeline, pump station, and treatment projects), which is what the Ten-Year CIP will require. Furthermore, this Ten-Year CIP has almost twice the collection system work and four times the plant work as the prior ten-year period, demanding a more experienced person than the Senior Engineer – Wastewater position. Moreover, the Engineering Manager – Wastewater position will provide expertise in other complex areas like: Requests for Proposal (RFP); equipment procurement; funding support including grants and low interest loans; writing staff reports and presenting to Council as needed; and mentoring the Assistant/Associate Engineer. There is no cost impact to this request as the increase was included in the Wastewater 18 Fund budget projections and Wastewater rate increase that was approved by the City Council at the May 9, 2022 Council meeting.

PROGRAM: General Ledger Account-Part Time Salary & Benefits REQUEST TITLE: Wastewater Part-time Operator in Training Program Request Summary
Modify Collection Systems budget in the Salaries – Part-time (18.940742.51300.0000.000) to $80K annually beginning FY 22/23. Therefore, additional budget of $75K is needed. Part-time employee(s) will be needed for the collections system to help with daily work. This is an ongoing expense for a nonbenefit, part time collections employee.
Modify Plant budget in the Salaries – Part-time (18.940742.51300.0000.000) to $40K annually beginning FY 22/23. Therefore, a decrease of $40k is needed.
Factors Driving the Request for Change
The City’s DPW WW Division Collection Systems’ group has experienced a short fall of staffing for our current needs. We have decided to add Operator in training program with part time employee(s). However, for FY 2022/23 the Plant will only need one or two part time employees and the budget can be reduced to $40K.

PROGRAM: General Ledger Account- Wastewater Enterprise – Salaries - Regular REQUEST TITLE: Add Assistant/Associate Engineer Position to Wastewater Division Request Summary
To help deliver the 10-Year, $120M Wastewater Capital Improvements Program, we propose adding an Assistant/Associate Engineer position to the Wastewater Division. This position will support the Engineering Manager in CIP delivery and performing smaller projects that oftentimes arise.
The Associate Civil Engineer’s highest annual salary range for FY 22-23 is $127,845 + $49,986 for benefits and retirement. Consequently, additional budget will need to be made and divided evenly between the Collection Systems and the Plant.
Factors Driving the Request for Change
The Ten-Year CIP will have significantly more projects to delivery than the prior ten years, given the plan to almost double the collection system work and increase by four times the plant work. This CIP work load, together with normal “smaller” projects that arise in the collection system and at the treatment plant will require addition staffing to perform. The Assistant/Associate Engineer will focus on smaller collection system, pumping, and treatment plant projects under the direction of the Engineering Manager.
Furthermore, the Assistant/Associate Engineer will support project delivery including agreements, budget monitoring, and invoicing. And finally, the Assistant/Associate Engineer will be trained to step into a higher position as part of succession planning.
There is no cost impact to this request as the increase was included in the Wastewater 18 Fund budget projections and Wastewater rate increase that was approved by the City Council at the May 9, 2022 Council meeting.
