SUBJECT: Town Council Selection of Mayor and Vice-Mayor for a one-year term beginning December 13, 2022 through December 12, 2023
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Town Clerk will chair the selection of Mayor for a one- year term beginning December 13, 2022 through December 12, 2023. The Clerk will turn the meeting over to the newly selected Mayor for selection of Vice-Mayor for a one-year term.
Background: Every year in December the Town Council elects one Council Member to serve as Mayor and one Council Member to serve as Vice-Mayor for a one-year term. Any Council Member may be nominated for the office of Mayor, including the Council Member who served as Mayor during the previous year. Election requires the affirmative votes of at least three (3) members of the Council. (Resolution No. 88-55)
Analysis: The election process for the Mayor and Vice Mayor is as follows:
1. The Mayor turns the meeting over to the Town Clerk to act as presiding officer for selection of Mayor for a one-year term.
2. The Town Clerk opens the nominations for Mayor. Any Council Member may nominate any other Council Member – no motion necessary.
3. The Town Clerk asks for a Motion, a second and a Council vote to close the nominations for Mayor.
4. The Town Clerk takes a roll call vote on each Council Member nominated in the order of nomination.
5. When one Council Member receives a majority (three) affirmative votes, he/she will be deemed selected as the Mayor for a one-year term and there will be no further vote on any subsequent nominees.
6. The Town Clerk turns the meeting over to the new Mayor as the presiding officer.
7. Procedures for selection of Vice Mayor will be the same and items 2 – 5 which will be repeated by the new Mayor as presiding officer.
Conclusion:
The Mayor serves as the presiding officer at Council meetings and is responsible for maintaining order at the meetings; executes certain documents approved by the Town Council, such as contracts, resolutions and ordinances and warrants drawn on the town treasurer; and, represents the Town at various ceremonial events. The Mayor and Vice Mayor also review and approve requests for proclamations.

Council Agenda Summary
Date: December 13, 2022
Agenda Item: 2(b)
ORIGINATED BY: Jessica Erdahl, Sr. Capital Projects Manager REVIEWED BY: Kevin Phillips, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Systemic Intersection Safety Improvements Project Program Supplement Agreement Revision 1
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
Yes, Evacuation Routes
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Approve the Program Supplement Agreement No. F019 Rev. 1 to Administering Agency-State Agreement for Federal-aid Projects no. 03-5425F15 to assure receipt of $696,544.00 in state funds for the Intersection Safety Improvement Project.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-__ A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Paradise Authorizing the Town Manager, or his or her designee, to sign the Program Supplement Agreement No. F019 Rev. 1 to Administering Agency-State Agreement for Federal-Aid Projects No. 03-5425F15.
Background:
In April 2018, Caltrans announced Cycle 9 Call-for-Projects for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The purpose of this program is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The HSIP requires a data-driven, strategic approach to improving highway safety on all public roads that focuses on performance.
In July 2018, the Town of Paradise submitted an HSIP grant application for the Intersection Safety Improvement project. This project is based on data from the Systematic Safety Analysis Final Report by Kittelson Associates. The report consisted of a town-wide systemic safety analysis based on the five-year (2012-2016) crash data from California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), and local police reports. For the study high-priority safety intersections and corridors were identified.
High-priority safety intersections and corridors were identified using the equivalent property damage only (EPDO) and crash rate network screening performance measures from the Highway Safety Manual (HSM). Five specific intersections were selected with high scores for intersections in the town that had not had recent improvements. In addition to these five highscoring intersections, the systemic safety analysis identified another eleven similar sites that could benefit from a systemic application of the same treatments. Following field reviews of the sites, limited sight lines, limited advanced intersection warning, and undefined intersection approaches may be influencing safety at the improvement locations.
On December 12, 2018 the Approved HSIP Project List was released and included the Town of Paradise Intersection Safety Improvement Project. The total estimated project cost was $1,229,300, with a federal funds award of $1,106,370.00 and local match of $122,930. The purpose of the project is to improve safety at the identified sixteen stop-controlled intersections 55 at various locations. The countermeasure will be to systemically improve minor street approaches with a combination of splitter island striping, additional intersection warning/regulatory signs, improved pavement markings, and providing improve sight triangles.
The sixteen various locations are identified in Attachment A.
The Town received construction authorization in the amount of $421, 544.00 on October 27, 2022.
Due to a scope revision, removal of vertical elements in the roadway which could impeded future evacuation events (concrete splitter islands), the estimated construction costs were decreased by $532,756.00. Therefore, a revised Program Supplement Agreement is required.
Analysis:
To remain eligible for the allocated grant funding, the Town of Paradise is required to execute Program Supplement Agreements to the Administering Agency-State Agreement for StateFunded Projects (Agreement No. 03-5425DF15). The supplement agreement serve as a contract between the Town of Paradise and California Department of Transportation, binding each to certain responsibilities to process State funded projects. The attached agreements must be approved by the Town to continue receipt of State funds. In addition, the Town is required to adopt resolutions identifying the newly awarded projects and designate an official authorized to execute Program Supplement Agreements.
Financial Impact:
Total estimated total cost for of the project is $696,544.00. Federal funds will cover $626,889.00. The remaining $69,655.00 will be absorbed by the Towns Transportation Fund.

Council Agenda Summary
Date: December 13, 2022
Agenda Item: 2(c)
ORIGINATED BY: Jessica Erdahl, Sr. Capital Projects Manager REVIEWED BY: Kevin Phillips, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Pentz Road Pathway Phase II Project CEQA
Determination
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
Yes, Tier 1, Evacuation Routes
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Concur with staff recommendation to file a CEQA Notice of Exemption for the Pentz Road Pathway Phase II Project.
Background:
On June 7, 2019 the Town of Paradise received a Preliminary Engineering authorization to proceed on a new Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) grant in the amount $550,000 for the Pentz Pathway Phase II project. In June 2022, Caltrans approved revisions to the 2021 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) increasing the Preliminary Engineering authorization to $700,000. This grant will provide for the environmental review and design phase of the project.
The Project proposes to construct a new Class I path along Pentz Road between Pearson Road and Bille Road (1.63 miles) and between Wagstaff Road and Skyway (1.56 miles). This project will tie into constructed improvements between Bille Road and Wagstaff Road. The project will consist of installation of a Class I Path on the west side of Pentz Road and includes installation of drainage infrastructure, intersection curb ramps, and pedestrian lighting.
The Project is part of the town’s ongoing initiative to provide residents with active transportation infrastructure. The need for the project stems from the lack of consistent sidewalks throughout the town and the fact that “The overall pattern of streets, forced largely by land topography and other constraints, has created poor street connectivity.” This makes it extremely difficult for community members utilizing any form of rolling transportation to navigate the town. The project will have a transformative effect upon the community in the long run by increasing mobility, providing a safe route for pedestrians and cyclists, and increasing the walkability of the tract.
Analysis:
The current phase for this project is environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The CEQA process requires the lead agency to examine the project proposal and evaluate potential impacts. Staff has evaluated the subject project thoroughly and found that the project is exempt under State CEQA Guidelines Section (c), Existing Facilities which states:
The project is exempt under State CEQA Guidelines [Section 15301(c)], which states:
“Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The types 67 of “existing facilities” itemized below are not intended to be all-inclusive of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use. Examples include but are not limited to:
Existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety), and other alterations such as the addition of bicycle facilities, including but not limited to bicycle parking, bicycle-share facilities and bicycle lanes, transit improvements such as bus lanes, pedestrian crossings, street trees, and other similar alterations that do not create additional automobile lanes).” Based on CEQA Section 15301(c), staff is requesting the Council to concur and approve for filing the Notice of Exemption with the Butte County Recorder’s Office. If approved, the environmental phase will be complete in early January 2023 and design and right-of way efforts may continue towards construction in 2025.
A draft Notice of Exemption is attached to this staff report.
Financial Impact:
There is a recording fee of $50 per project with the Butte County Recorder’s Office to file the Notice of Exemption.

II. PURPOSE
This investment policy is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment ofthe temporary idle cash of the Town of Paradise and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the Town's cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the financial status of the Town of Paradise, while protecting its pooled cash.
III. SCOPE
The Town of Paradise cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast revenues and expenditures, thus enabling the Town ofParadise to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The Town of Paradise will attempt to obtain the highest yield obtainable, as long as investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.
The Town of Paradise operates its pooled cash investments under the ''Prudent Investor" standard pursuant to California Government Code Section 53600.3, and within the specific terms governing investments for municipal governments as setforth inCalifornia Government Code Sections 53600 through 53659.
The Town of Paradise shall strive to maintain the level of investment of all idle funds as near 100% as possible, through projected cash flow determinations. Idle cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility of the Town Treasurer, and the Town of Paradise Investment Committee.
IV. OBJECTIVES
Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:
A. Safety
The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest or a combination ofthese amounts. All "allowable investments" are of a very high quality and would be considered extremely safe and conservative.
B. Liquidity
An adequate percentage ofthe portfolio will be maintained inliquid short term securities that canbe converted to cash as necessary to meet disbursement requirements. The liquidity percentage will be determined from time to time from projected cash flow reports.
Investments will be made in securitieswith active secondary and resale markets.
C. Yield
Within the constraints of safety and liquidity, the highest and best return will be sought.
The investment portfolio will be designed to attain a market average rate of return, taking into account the Town's risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state law.
75 Town of Paradise – 140 Investment Policy Page 4
D. Maturity
The maturity of each investment shall not exceed a period of five years. Maturities shall be selected to anticipate cash needs, thus avoiding forced liquidations.
E. Diversification
The portfolio will be diversified to avoid incurring unreasonable and unavoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual financial institutions.
F. Prudence
Person(s) authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of local agencies are trustees and therefore, fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling and managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, atrustee is authorized to acquire investments as authorized by law.

Agenda Item: 6(c)
Originated by: Dina Volenski, Town Clerk/Elections Official Reviewed by: Kevin Phillips, Town Manager
Subject: Upcoming vacancy on the Planning Commission
Long Term
Recovery Plan
No
Council Action Requested: Consider the following actions relating to recruitment for one vacancy on the Paradise Planning Commission:
1. Approve the Notice of Vacancy created by the election of Planning Commissioner Ron Lassonde to the Paradise Town Council; approve the Planning Commissioner application and authorize staff to advertise the existing Planning Commissioner vacancy, which will include a legal notice, posting on the Town’s website, Facebook page and a media release. The vacated Planning Commission term expires June 30, 2024.
Below is the suggested timeline for appointment of one Planning Commissioner:
a. Set an application deadline of January 12, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. for the one Planning Commissioner vacancy; and,
b. Designate two Town Council Members to serve as the only members on an interview panel for the Planning Commission interview process; and, c. Direct staff to assist the interview panel by providing suggested questions and a scoring matrix for candidates and coordinating interviews on January 25, 2023 or January 26, 2023; and,
d. Schedule appointment to the vacancy for the February 14, 2023, regular meeting with appointment to become effective immediately.
Background: On November 8, 2022, Planning Commissioner Ron Lassonde, was elected to a position on the Paradise Town Council to be effective December 13, 2022, which will create an open position on the Paradise Planning Commission.
With one vacant Planning Commissioner position it is prudent that the Council ask all interested citizens to go through the process, complete applications and be interviewed for the Planning Commissioner positions.
The Paradise Planning Commission consists of a five-member board that was established by ordinance (Paradise Municipal Code Sections 2.12.030 through
2.12.039) to serve as an advisory board to the Paradise Town Council. The Commission meets once a month on the third Tuesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. 88 2
The Town Council generally appoints citizens to vacancies of boards and commission by authorizing recruitment by application and scheduling appointments at a regular meeting. The Town Council has also utilized an interview process where two Council Members serve as an interview panel and make recommendations for appointment to the Council.
Analysis: It is necessary for the Town Council to appoint one Planning Commissioner due to the current Planning Commissioner, Ron Lassonde being elected to the Paradise Town Council.

Council Agenda Summary
Date: December 13, 2022
Agenda Item: XX
ORIGINATED BY: Marc Mattox, Public Works Director
REVIEWED BY: Kevin Phillips, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Paradise CDBG-DR Infrastructure Action Plan
Amendment No. 1
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
Yes - Various
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Approve the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery – Infrastructure Action Plan Amendment 1; or
2. Provide alternate direction.
Background:
On January 27, 2020, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published Federal Register Notice 85 FR 4681 allocating $1,017,399,000 in CDBG-DR funding, related to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Major Disaster Declarations DR4382 from July to September 2018 and DR-4407 in November 2018. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is the grantee responsible for administering the CDBG-DR funds allocated to the State of California. CDBG-DR supports the State of California’s unmet recovery needs related to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Major Disaster Declarations DR- 4382 from July to September 2018 and DR-4407 in November 2018.
Recognizing unmet infrastructure recovery needs, related to DR-4382 from July to September 2018 and DR-4407 in November 2018, HCD allocated $317,428,488 of the CDBG-DR funding to the Disaster Recovery Infrastructure Program (DR-Infrastructure). DR-Infrastructure projects are funded to assist with meeting the unmet infrastructure needs of local communities. This program provides funding for FEMA Public Assistance (PA) match projects, FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) match projects, other non-FEMA match projects, and stand-alone projects identified by local communities impacted by DR-4382 or DR-4407.
On February 8, 2022, Paradise Town Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-12, a resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Paradise declaring certain projects critical to Camp Fire recovery with unfunded needs for consideration in the CDBG-DR Infrastructure Program (DR-4407).
On August 19, the Town of Paradise was formally notified by California Housing and Community Development that of the $317M made available for allocations, the Town would be recipients of $199,592,735.75 for implementation of identified projects in the program. Separate from this allocation, Housing and Community Development announced a $30M Action Plan Amendment to program the Paradise Sewer Project design phase – bringing the overall allocation to $229,592,735.75.
92 A crucial next step towards implementation was identification of which projects of the Town’s overall eligible listing should be advanced for further study, environmental review, design, and construction, as appropriate.
On September 15, 2022, Paradise Town Council reviewed and approved the CDBG-DR Infrastructure Action Plan which will aims to keep the Council and community apprised of the status of allocated projects through completion. The primary objectives of the Action Plan aim to:
1. Stabilize the Town’s Fiscal Sustainability Plan through the allocation of eligible Disaster Recovery and Mitigation projects with unfunded match requirements.
2. Implement a diverse array of infrastructure projects identified through the extensive planning of the 2019 Community Long-Term Recovery Plan and 2020 Transportation Master Plan. Projects identified will increase evacuation capacity, connect deadend roads, or complete missing road segments which would have been useful during the 2018 Camp Fire evacuation and will be useful in any future evacuation scenario the Town may face in the future.
One forecasted issue with adoption of the original Action Plan was the potential for inclusion of additional external funding which was pending until October 2022.
Analysis:
On October 20, 2022, Paradise staff learned of new funding announcements through the California Transportation Commission’s Active Transportation Program administered by Caltrans.
In total, $41M in new funding was announced for three critical projects supporting new Class 1 Bike Paths, which aim to double as evacuation assets in case of emergency. The three projects are listed below:
- Pentz Student Pathway, Pentz Road between Skyway and Pearson Road - Neal Pathway, Neal Road between Skyway and Town Limits - Skyway Link, Skyway between Bille and Wagstaff
The Pentz project was included in the Town’s original CDBG-DR Recommended Project List and Neal and Skyway projects were noted on the Reserve project list. With this funding announcement, all three projects are able included in Town’s revised action plan, with required matching funds to be sourced from our CDBG-DR allocation. Further, two new projects are now able to be added to the overall project list, now including:

M8 Off-System Culvert Repair $750,000 $50,000
M9 On-System Sign Replacement $285,200 $35,000
The other major change in the Action Plan Amendment relates to establishing a policy for addressing future funding availability similarly described above – ie new grants or existing projects identified using CDBG-DR funding being delivered under budgets. The following policy is recommended:
Any newly available funding (ie selected projects come in under budget or additional external funding is secured) within the Town’s CDBG-DR allocation will be dedicated to the Paradise Sewer Project construction phase
This policy will allow the program to keep pace with long-range planning and development of critical infrastructure projects. Specifically, it would be difficult in later years to start any currently unfunded projects and meet program funding requirements. By allocating new funding to the Sewer Project, the unfunded construction gap will continue to close.
Financial Impact:
This revised Action Plan outlines additional financial impacts with these actions for various projects. No new general funds are impacted.

Amendment 1, Page 3
1. Amendment 1 Summary
The Town of Paradise is issuing Action Plan Amendment 1 to incorporate developments relating to projects recommended for funding under the California Transportation Commission’s Active Transportation Program Cycle 6. Further, the Amendment reallocates newly available funding because of these awards, adding multiple projects from the Reserved Project List while increasing funding allocations to various other previously Recommended Projects respective budgets.
A change in approach relating to the Reserve Project List is also recommended.
More information on the specific changes to the Amendment can be found in Sections 10-14 of this document.
2. Purpose
The Town of Paradise CDBG-DR Infrastructure Action Plan aims to document the context, approach and overview of potential use of allocated funds. Future revised Action Plans will be presented:
- Annually during budget processing, and
- As needed when critical issues develop requiring Council action such as changes to the Recommended Project List
3. CDBG-DR General
On January 27, 2020, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published Federal Register Notice 85 FR 4681 allocating $1,017,399,000 in CDBG-DR funding, related to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Major Disaster Declarations DR-4382 from July to September 2018 and DR-4407 in November 2018. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is the grantee responsible for administering the CDBG-DR funds allocated to the State of California. CDBG-DR supports the State of California’s unmet recovery needs related to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Major Disaster Declarations DR- 4382 from July to September 2018 and DR-4407 in November 2018.
Recognizing unmet infrastructure recovery needs, related to DR-4382 from July to September 2018 and DR4407 in November 2018, HCD allocated $317,428,488 of the CDBG-DR funding to the Disaster Recovery Infrastructure Program (DR-Infrastructure). DR-Infrastructure projects are funded to assist with meeting the unmet infrastructure needs of local communities. This program provides funding for FEMA Public Assistance (PA) match projects, FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) match projects, other non-FEMA match projects, and stand-alone projects identified by local communities impacted by DR-4382 or DR-4407. HUD requires that 70% of the total grant-wide funds are spent on activities that meet the low- and moderateincome (LMI) national objective and 80% of grant funds are expended in the HUD-identified most impacted and distressed (MID) areas. The MID areas for the 2018 DR-Infrastructure Program include the entire counties of Butte, Shasta, Los Angeles and Lake; the Town of Paradise is MID eligible within Butte County.
4. CDBG-DR Infrastructure Program Activities
The DR-Infrastructure Program utilizes CDBG-DR funds to address two needs of Eligible Applicants: 1.) providing support to disaster-impacted units of local government and other eligible entities with payment of their non-federal local cost share (FEMA Public Assistance (PA) Match, FEMA HMGP Match, and other federal grants) requirement so that they can access other disaster recovery resources without incurring an unexpected financial burden to address recovery needs; and 2.) providing funds to units of local government to develop “Stand- Alone” infrastructure projects, which can be funded with up to 100% CDBG-DR funding, 97 Paradise CDBG-DR Infrastructure Action Plan 22-1213
Amendment 1, Page 4
that are necessary to address unmet disaster recovery needs from impacts tied to DR- 4382 or DR-4407. To address the needs of Eligible Applicants described in this paragraph, the DR-Infrastructure Program funds are used for the following project types:
• The non-federal local cost share match on disaster-related federal grants (FEMA and other federal grants); and
• Non-match, Stand-Alone Infrastructure projects that address identified unmet 2018 disaster recovery needs and increase the resilience of cities and counties. a. FEMA PA Match
The FEMA Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program supports communities’ recovery from major disasters by providing them with grant assistance for debris removal, life-saving emergency protective measures, and restoring public infrastructure. FEMA provides grants to the State and its sub-applicants (cities, counties, school districts, etc.) to address the long-term rebuilding, recovery, and resiliency needs of the communities.
Projects that are approved for FEMA PA Match in certain FEMA Categories are eligible for non- federal share, local match funding under the DR-Infrastructure Program. See Section 2.4 of the 2018 CDBG-DR Infrastructure Program Policies and Procedures for more information on eligible FEMA PA Match projects, activities, and compliance.
b. FEMA HMGP Match
FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) activities are designed to help communities implement hazard mitigation measures following a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration in the areas of the state, tribe, or territory requested by the Governor or Tribal Executive. The key purpose of HMGP is to enact mitigation measures that reduce the risk of loss of life and property from future disasters. Projects that are approved for FEMA HMGP Match are eligible for non-federal, local match funding under DR-Infrastructure. See Section 2.5 of the 2018 CDBG-DR Infrastructure Program Policies and Procedures for more information on eligible FEMA HMGP Match projects, activities, and compliance.
c. Other Non-Federal Match
HCD may fund the local portion of the non-federal share for other federally grant- funded infrastructure projects with a tie-back to the DR-4382 or DR-4407 disaster events. Grants include, but are not limited to, projects funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
d. Stand-Alone Infrastructure
Non-match, Stand-Alone CDBG-DR eligible infrastructure projects with a tie-back to the 2018 disasters that can be funded with up to 100 percent of CDBG-DR funding are eligible for the DR-Infrastructure Program.
These non-match, Stand-Alone Infrastructure projects are critical to address identified unmet disaster recovery needs and increase the resilience of cities and counties that are not funded by other federal recovery programs. All Stand-Alone Infrastructure projects require an environmental review be completed by the Subrecipient. See Section 2.6 of the 2018 CDBG-DR Infrastructure Program Policies and Procedures for more information on eligible Standalone Infrastructure Projects, activities, and compliance. 98 Paradise CDBG-DR Infrastructure Action Plan 22-1213
Amendment 1, Page 5
5. CDBG-DR Infrastructure Program Requirements
a. Tie-back to the Disasters
All projects funded through the DR Infrastructure Program must in some way respond to a direct impact from the following federally declared disasters:
• DR-4382 California Wildfires and High Winds (July 23, 2018 – September 19, 2018) • DR-4407 California Wildfires (November 08, 2018 – November 25, 2018) The FEMA PA program requires clear documentation showing a direct disaster related impact as a prerequisite for entry into the program. Only after an impact threshold has been met does FEMA consider making disaster funds available to applicants. It is assumed that if the potential applicant received funding and support through the FEMA PA program, the project has a tie to one of the declared disasters. For FEMA PA Match projects, the tie to the 2018 disasters is documented by FEMA’s approval of the Project Worksheet.
For Stand-Alone projects, HMGP Match projects, and other Federal match projects, the tie to the 2018 disasters is documented as part of the Notice of Intent (NOI) and application processes and stored in the program file of Grants Network. Documentation that shows a tie to the disaster can include, but is not limited to, a damage estimate prepared by city/county staff or contractor, reconstruction estimates for physical losses by engineers or other similar professionals, insurance claims, or photographic evidence of the physical impact of the disaster on the project with clear dates and timeline.
Eligible Applicants may submit indirect tie backs to the disaster that are a result of population shifts due to DR-4382 and DR-4407. For such indirect tie backs, Eligible Applicants are required to use one of two options.
Option one is to use publicly available data from a government entity or research center acceptable to HCD to determine whether the jurisdiction experienced a sustained population increase, of at least 24 months, reasonably attributable to an influx of 2018 disaster survivors. Option two is for Eligible Applicants to provide alternative data documenting a sustained population increase, of at least 24 months, reasonably attributable to an influx of 2018 disaster survivors, using a survey methodology acceptable to HCD (i.e., reasonably designed to produce an accurate estimate).
For all projects, HCD reviews how each project supports the overall housing recovery from DR-4382 or DR4407. Projects that support overall housing recovery are infrastructure projects that enable the recovery of residential areas by meeting transportation needs, restoring essential utilities, and addressing other public infrastructure and facility needs. Examples of infrastructure projects that support overall housing recovery include, but are not limited to public roads, school facilities, stormwater drainage improvements, potable water, sanitary sewer, electric and gas utilities, wastewater treatment facilities, parks, and other public facilities that are important publicly owned assets.
b. Meeting a National Objective
In accordance with 24 CFR 570.208, all CDBG-DR funded activities must meet a national objective as required under 24 CFR 570.200(a)(2). Under section 101(c) of the authorizing Act (42 U.S.C. 5301) the CDBG program must ensure that the funded activity meets one of the named national objectives. The two qualifying national objectives are:
• Benefiting low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons; and • Meeting an urgent need.

Urgent Need Urgent Need Resolution from Subrecipient’s city council, county board, or similar governing body stating that no other funds are available for the proposed project.
The DR-Infrastructure Program must demonstrate that funded activities meet one of the two National Objectives. The types of records to be maintained for each CDBG-DR funded project depends on the National Objective category for which it qualifies. For all DR-Infrastructure Program projects, the final determination of the National Objective is completed during the application process based on HUD guidance. Eligible Applicants also need to provide preliminary National Objective documentation as part of the NOI process to support the Priority Level of the project.
Determining the service area of an activity involves consideration of the nature, location, and accessibility of each activity, and the information contained within the project’s description and scope of work (contained in the Project Worksheet for FEMA PA projects). Service areas are based on the beneficiaries of recovery activities and/or types of facilities (e.g. work on roads and bridges, repair/replacement of public utilities, etc.); geographic features (e.g. locations of highway, rivers, hillsides, etc.); and local population characteristics (e.g. population size and density). Wherever possible, HCD leverages pre- defined service areas mapped by a government agency or utility service providers.
HCD anticipates that projects that qualify under the Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) National Objective are primarily using the Low- and Moderate-Income Area Benefit (LMA) category. Once a project’s service area is identified, HUD Low- and Moderate-Income Summary Data is used to determine if least 51 percent of the residents are low- and moderate-income persons.
The Urgent Need National Objective requires that the project is designed to meet community development needs having a particular urgency. In the absence of substantial evidence to the contrary, a project is considered to address this National Objective if the design of the project is certified to alleviate existing conditions which pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community which are of recent origin or which recently became urgent, that the Subrecipient is unable to finance the activity on its own, and that other sources of funding are not available. A condition is generally considered to be of recent origin if it developed or became critical within 18 months preceding the certification by the Subrecipient. c. Eligible Applicants
The eligible applicants for Infrastructure Recovery Program funds are municipal and county governments that received FEMA Public Assistance funds for permanent infrastructure projects (Categories C through G) related to the DR-4382 or DR-4407 disaster events and/or are listed as a subrecipient jurisdiction under the 2018 CDBG Disaster Recovery Multifamily Housing Program.

Eligible Applicants may submit projects located anywhere within the unit of local government’s jurisdiction in accordance with the eligibility requirements outlined in 2018 CDBG-DR Infrastructure Program Policies and Procedures. As needed, Eligible Applicants may collaborate with other eligible entities, units of local government, or special districts in the implementation of the DR-Infrastructure Program.
Subrecipients may submit applications on behalf of another jurisdiction or special district. If the application is approved by HCD, the Subrecipient may enter into an agreement with another jurisdiction or special district for implementing the project. Prior to HCD issuing a Notice to Proceed (NTP) for the project, the Subrecipient must submit a monitoring plan for the unit of local government or special district working under the agreement. The monitoring plan shall demonstrate that the Subrecipient has the capacity to oversee work of the local government or special district.
Agreements with other units of local government, special districts, and other eligible entities are limited to program implementation support and the Subrecipient cannot allocate project funding directly to other government entities unless the Subrecipient, during the Due Diligence process, notifies HCD of its intent to make a unit of local government or special district a subrecipient for a potential project. In such instances, the following two (2) conditions must be special conditions in the MSA that the Subrecipient needs to clear prior to HCD issuing a Notice to Proceed for the specific potential project(s):
1.) HCD approves the Subrecipient’s monitoring plan of the unit of local government or special district for the proposed project. The monitoring plan must demonstrate that the Subrecipient has sufficient understanding of the program requirements, the applicable federal and state regulations, and the capacity to monitor the work of its subrecipients.
2.) Subrecipient agreements must be approved by HCD. If a Subrecipient is a CDBG entitlement community and has a subrecipient agreement in place, they may use the agreement as a template or an amended agreement, if approved by HCD.
If the preceding two (2) conditions are met, the Subrecipient can make the units of local government or special districts subrecipients and can directly allocate funds from the Subrecipient’s DR-Infrastructure allocation for individual projects approved by HCD during the Project Application process and for which HCD issues a Notice to Proceed. For all cases in accordance with 83 FR 5844 Section 51(k), HCD must also assess the Subrecipient’s capacity to execute and monitor the proposed project(s) as a factor in the project review. Additionally, for CDBG-DR funds to be used as the non-federal cost share local match, the project must be a HUD eligible activity and must meet a HUD national objective, per CDBG-DR rules and regulations. Similarly, the project must fully comply with all applicable federal rules and regulations, to include Davis Bacon and related acts, Section 3, Section 504, procurement, environmental review and all other CDBG-DR, cross-cutting, state and local applicable statutes, rules and regulations. 101

8. HCD Funding Allocation Announcement
On August 19, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom announced federal grants totaling more than $317 million to assist seven jurisdictions that continue to recover and rebuild after the 2018 federally declared disasters, when wildfires burned more than 1.6 million acres and destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses, particularly in the Town of Paradise, in Butte County.
The Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds announced are for foundational infrastructure projects that must be completed as communities work to build and rebuild needed housing, especially housing for low- and moderate-income Californians, and ensure that every household that was displaced in these disasters has the opportunity to return home.

Paradise CDBG-DR Infrastructure Action Plan 22-1213
Amendment 1, Page 12
A press release issued by the Governor’s office stated:
Communities were awarded funding based on their unmet infrastructure needs and have the flexibility to use the grants to support projects based on their priorities to rebuild in a safe, sustainable, and resilient way. The Town of Paradise has been awarded nearly $200 million, which will be used to construct critical projects that will accelerate their capacity to rebuild higher density and more affordable housing, business corridors, and critical evacuation routes in the event they face future disasters.
The following is a full list of awards announced across the entire CDBG-DR Infrastructure Program:
Local Jurisdiction Total Awarded
Butte County $72,722,679.61
City of Chico $12,388,409.65
City of Malibu $47,276.93
City of Redding $22,563,043.51
City of Shasta Lake $6,326,184.69
Los Angeles County $3,788,157.86
Town of Paradise $199,592,735.75
Total $317,428,488.00
9. Town of Paradise Allocation
The Town of Paradise was allocated $199,592,735.75. This determination was made after a review of the Town’s eligible projects in respect to other jurisdictions eligible projects and available funding. As a result, the Town of Paradise was awarded 27% its overall eligible unmet need. The Town’s allocation is also inclusive of Paradise Irrigation District’s four eligible projects. The Town of Paradise plans to administer CDBG-DR Program Guidelines for subrecipients and follow the HCD formulate to distribute 27% of Paradise Irrigation District’s eligible projects. Paradise Irrigation District submitted $13,030,000 in eligible CDBG-DR Infrastructure projects. Apportioned at 27%, $3,518,100 would be the Town’s subrecipient allocation to Paradise Irrigation District, reducing the Town’s available funding to $196,074,635.75.
Separate from the CDBG-DR Infrastructure total of $317M available, Action Plan Amendment 2 was issued by HCD which identified an additional $30M to be allocated to the Town of Paradise for the Paradise Sewer Project design phase.
Combined, the Town is tasked with administering a total $229,592,735.75 (inclusive of the Paradise Sewer Project Design phase funding), in a long-term partnership with California Housing & Community Development to create generational change in a stronger, more resilient Paradise. 106

10. Town of Paradise Project Grant List
Critically, the Town Critically, the Town will define the budget allocations to implement specific projects which meet the objectives and priorities of the CDBG-DR program and community by:
• Stabilizing the Town’s Fiscal Sustainability Plan through the allocation of eligible Disaster Recovery and Mitigation projects with previously unfunded match requirements. • Implement a diverse array of infrastructure projects identified through the extensive planning of the 2019 Community Long-Term Recovery Plan and 2020 Transportation Master Plan. Projects identified will either: increase evacuation capacity, connect dead-end roads or complete missing road segments which would have been utilized during the 2018 Camp Fire evacuation. Once constructed these infrastructure projects will be available for use in future evacuation scenarios in the Town.
The Long Term Recovery Plan and Transportation Master Plan priorities have been incorporated into a CDBG-DR Project Grant List which fully utilizes the Town’s allocation.

11. Town of Paradise Reserve Project List
In the original Action Plan, a Reserve Project List was created to account for potential new funding from other sources, including Active Transportation Program Funding. With ATP funds now recommended for award, instead of creating a new Reserve Project List, a policy moving forward is hereby established:
Any newly available funding (ie selected projects come in under budget or additional external funding is secured) within the Town’s CDBG-DR allocation will be dedicated to the Paradise Sewer Project construction phase. This policy will allow the program to keep pace with long-range planning and development of critical infrastructure projects.
12. Future Projects
The Town’s overall project unmet need identified for the purposes of CDBG-DR Infrastructure consideration exceeded $800M – while the $199M infrastructure investment will clearly signify an unprecedented investment in the community’s safety and housing recovery, much remains unfunded.
Projects not selected will remain documented as critical priorities within the Town’s overall recovery vision for other funding considerations at the local, state and federal levels.
13. Project Schedule Forecast
For the Recommended Project List, staff created a potential schedule of implementation and deliver, forecasting work to continue through 2028 on major efforts, with some projects minor projects reaching closeout in 2023. The Project Schedule Forecast is shown on the next page. 111

14. Issues to Watch
a. Changeable Message Sign Network Project
During the NOI review phase, the subject project was deemed ineligible due to the infrastructure proposed was for moveable message boards. Staff would like to work with HCD to modify the project description to permanent changeable signs, typically seen along State highways. Permanent signs could be added to Skyway at key locations. Messages displayed could read “ONE WAY EVACUATION ACTIVE, USE ALL LANES,” as necessary. This approach may simplify one-way/contraflow activation if installed on both ends of evacuation routes. Staff is not certain if the project modification is not feasible due to the nature the original Notice of Intent scoping.
Acton Plan Amendment 1 Update: This project has been removed from the Project Grant List and will be further coordinated and developed in partnership with Butte County Public Works. Staff anticipates submitting this project for consideration of anticipated CDGB-DR Mitigation funding in 2023. b. Low Moderate Income Projects
At this time, the Town has an additional requirement to implement $73,984,047.67 of its allocation towards Low Moderate Income eligible requirements. As submitted, the Town’s project list relied on pre-fire income data which, in turn, made a handful of projects LMI eligible. As proposed, only $60,400,000 in funding is proposed towards pre-fire LMI qualifying projects. It is anticipated that with the 2020 Census data release and further data, that more areas, if not the Town in its entirety, would be considered LMI qualifying. The LMI project threshold will be monitored and updated in future Action Plans or Adjustments.
Acton Plan Amendment 1 Update: There are no further updates to this item, however, special notation to the project list includes projects which have large town-wide service areas and contain LMI-qualifying areas within them. These projects total $21,864,635 and is estimated to serve up to 25% LMI-qualifying areas.
c. Program Schedule
With ongoing development of the CDBG-DR Infrastructure program, administrators with HCD are establishing a proposed expenditure deadline. Current estimates are being proposed for mid-2025. At this time, of the Town’s project list proposed, only a handful could feasibly be completed in this amount of time. Staff will be working continuously with HCD and HUD to establish a reasonable program end date which allows for the projects to be completed as efficiently as possible.
Acton Plan Amendment 1 Update: There are no further updates to this item.
15. Next Steps
In late August 2022, staff received notice of a potential schedule for next steps, summarized on the next page:
Step 1) Allocation Notices Released (Complete)
Step 2) Due Diligence (Ongoing)
113
Paradise CDBG-DR Infrastructure Action Plan 22-1213
Amendment 1, Page 20
Due diligence is a process by which HCD collects information from the Town about its policies and procedures in order to preliminarily assess the Town’s capacity. Due diligence items may include, but are not limited to, written policies that outline how the entity carries out environmental review, DavisBacon labor compliance, procurement and timekeeping. Due diligence is a requirement from HUD passed on to the Grantee, the State of California/HCD.
Next steps:
An HCD representative has contacted the Town to request certain policies.
The list of due diligence documents will be inserted into the Master Standard Agreement (MSA) (Step 4) as special conditions unless they have already been cleared by another 2018 CDBG-DR program.
Timeline: Due by the end of January 2023.
Step 3) Authorizing Resolution (Complete)
Step 4) Master Standard Agreement (MSA) Release
HCD will provide each awardee with their MSA for execution in Grants Network.
Any due diligence policies and procedures not already found acceptable by HCD by the time the MSA is prepared will be a special condition in the MSA. All special conditions must be cleared prior to a project moving forward. See Step 2, Due Diligence and Step 6, Notice to Proceed (NTP).
Timeline: Expected in early 2023.
Step 5) Project Application
Once the MSAs are executed, HCD will release project applications in Grants Network.
Subrecipients must complete an application for each project and submit it to HCD via Grants Network.
Only projects submitted under the Notice of Intent (NOI) can be submitted as project applications.
Projects originally submitted under the NOI as Urgent Need can be submitted as an LMI project (if the LMI percentage or service area changed), but a project submitted under the NOI as LMI cannot be submitted as Urgent Need.
Timeline: Expected in early 2023.
Step 6) Notice to Proceed (NTP)
An NTP is the final step before the subrecipient can begin expending funds, other than funds that were pre-approved by HCD for pre-construction work. An NTP requires the subrecipient to provide an updated schedule and performance milestones for each project prior to commencing work.
As described in the MSA, once an application is approved, each project must receive an NTP. An NTP will not be issued until Steps 1-5 are complete.
Timeline: Dependent on approval of the project applications, environmental review process, and clearance of MSA special conditions.

Project Scope
The Paradise Sewer Project includes all of the components and activities necessary to convert the core part of the Town (the Sewer Service Area) from on-site septic tank treatment to wastewater conveyance and treatment at the Chico Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP).
Project Description
The next phase of the Paradise Sewer Project will be preparation of the engineering design of project components. During this design phase, several other key activities will occur to prepare the project for construction, namely right-of-way (ROW) acquisition, environmental permitting and connection payment. Each of these items are described in further detail below.
Engineering Design
The project consists of two major components—the core collection system and the export pipeline system. Because these two components are very different (sit in different geographical locations and are made up of slightly different types of infrastructure), each component will be designed by a different engineering firm. These two design efforts will go on in parallel, and will take approximately 18 to 24 months to complete. Both designs will be typical civil engineering efforts involving the creation of design drawings and specifications.
The engineering design effort will also involve obtaining certain types of construction permits, such as permission to cross highways and railroads.

ROW Acquisition
Before a project can be constructed, the owner must acquire the legal right to install the infrastructure. For the core collection system, a vast majority of the sewer pipes and small pump stations will be installed within Town of Paradise right-of-way (roads). However, there may be several small areas where ROW will need to be acquired from private property owners, such as short lengths of sewer that must cross private land.
For the export pipeline system, two ROW situations exist:
• Of the 18.2 miles of export pipeline length, 17.1 miles will be installed within Butte County road rights-of-way. The Town will obtain an encroachment permit from Butte County for this installation.
• For the 1.1 miles of export pipeline that crosses private property, the Town will obtain ROW from private property owners. This ROW will primarily be in the form of temporary (construction) and permanent easements for buried pipelines. The permanent easements usually allow for some continued surface use of the land over the pipeline, with certain limitations (e.g., no permanent structures placed over the top of the pipeline).
Environmental Permitting
The Town will need to obtain environmental permits from certain state and federal agencies. Because obtaining these permits is often very complex and time consuming, they are usually handled as separate activities during the design phase. Because the core collection system will be installed within the Town of Paradise, in areas that have already been developed, it is likely that no significant environmental permits will be needed for that component. The export pipeline system crosses several water bodies (creeks) and 1.1 miles of undeveloped land, which will likely trigger the need to obtain environmental permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. 117

Council Agenda Summary
Date: December 13, 2022
Agenda Item: 6(e)
ORIGINATED BY: Scott Huber, Town Attorney
REVIEWED BY: Kevin Phillips, Town Manager
Scott Huber, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Consider Introducing an Ordinance Amending Chapter
8.04.020.1 of the Paradise Municipal Code Relating to
Abatement Warrants, Injunctions And Civil Penalties
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Upon conclusion of public discussion of this agenda item adopt either the recommended action or an alternative action.
1. Consider waiving the first reading of Town Ordinance No. ______and read by title only; and,
2. Introduce Town Ordinance No. _____. “An Ordinance Amending Paradise Municipal Code Section 8.04.020.1 Relating To Abatement Warrants, Injunctions And Civil Penalties” or;
3. Adopt an alternative directive to Town staff.
Background:
Attached with this council agenda summary for your consideration and recommended adoption for introduction purposes is a copy of an ordinance document recently prepared by the Town Attorney and reviewed by the Town Manager. Recommended text amendments to the ordinance are shown in “shaded” (additions). There are no proposed deletions to the current ordinance.
At the direction of the Town Council, staff has worked diligently to abate nuisance recreational vehicles which have been placed on properties without permits, and without proper utility connections for the protection of the environment. Under the current ordinance, if a property refuses to abate the public nuisance following the receipt of a citation, the Town Attorney must file litigation against the property owner. This process is expensive and time consuming.
However, should the ordinance be amended, the Town Attorney would be able to file a motion with the Court for a simple abatement warrant. This would give the Town the option to abate the public nuisance within 15 days’ following approval of the Court.
Following abatement by the Town, a lien can then be placed on the property for the Town to recover its abatement expenses. This procedure would mirror that which is available to the Town in tree abatement cases.
161
Analysis:
The attached ordinance proposes to amend Section 8.04.020.1 of the PMC relating to abatement warrants for recreational vehicles.
The ordinance would modify section 8.04.020.1 (A) by adding an additional option for the Town to abate public nuisances as follows:
A. In addition to any other remedy provided by this code, any provision of this chapter relating to the abatement of a public nuisance may be enforced by application to the Court for an abatement warrant granting Town authority to eliminate the nuisance conditions or by an injunction issued by the superior court upon a suit brought in the name of the Town of Paradise. All remedies prescribed by this chapter are cumulative and the use of one (1) or more remedies by the town shall not bar the use of any other remedy for the purposes of enforcing the provisions hereof or abating a public nuisance.
Lastly, the Town Attorney has determined that this proposed ordinance is a class of projects that have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, the proposed ordinance action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), according to CEQA Guidelines section 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment). NOTE: This subject CEQA determination finding is embodied within the attached proposed ordinance document.
Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact associated with the first reading and introduction of the ordinance.

Council Agenda Summary
Date: December 13, 2022
Agenda Item: 6(f)
ORIGINATED BY: Susan Hartman, Community Development
Director – Planning & Wastewater
REVIEWED BY: Kevin Phillips, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption and Authorization of an Amendment to the Franchise Agreement Between the Town and
Northern Recycling & Waste Services Relating to the
Removal of Street Sweeping
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Adopt the attached and proposed “Third Amendment to the Franchise Agreement” between the Town of Paradise and Northern Recycling & Waste Services thereby removing street sweeping the Agreement; AND
2. Authorize the Town Manager to execute the adopted “Third Amendment to the Franchise Agreement” document on behalf of the Town of Paradise; AND
3. Authorize town staff to file with the office of the Town Clerk a fully executed copy of the adopted “Third Amendment to the Franchise Agreement”; OR
4. Adopt an alternative directive to town staff regarding this agenda item.
Background:
In April 2017, the solid waste franchise agreement between the Town and Northern Recycling & Waste Services (NRWS) was amended and restated for a time period ending April 30, 2027. As part of that Agreement, there are requirements to implement a street sweeping program to remove solid waste from public streets as a benefit to property owners and taxpayers.
The Solid Waste Committee has been in conversation with NRWS about the future of street sweeping in conjunction with the Town purchasing its own street sweeper through Measure V and USDA grant funds. Ultimately, the Committee came to agreement, with concurrence from NRWS, to move forward to the full Town Council with a proposed amendment to the solid waste franchise agreement to remove the street sweeping requirements, thereby removing the street sweeping surcharge from the NRWS customer bills. Street sweeping fees collected by NRWS between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2022 would then be invested towards the purchase of the Town’s street sweeper thereby reducing the impact on the Measure V funds. Moving forward, the Town’s Public Works Department would manage the sweeping of public roads.
Analysis:
The Town’s Public Works Department has found it necessary to invest in its own street sweeper due the amount of road construction associated with the Town’s capital improvement projects. 164
The Town now has the staff and equipment necessary to successfully complete the sweeping of public roads so the request to remove street sweeping from the franchise agreement will not be detrimental to operations or functionality of public roadways and will eliminate the surcharge from customer bills. The Town will also have greater control and response time to unforeseen issues and accidents that arise.
The franchise agreement amendment would look to:
1. Strike Section 4.26 Street Sweeping from the agreement:
4.26 Street Sweeping.
Contractor shall provide a street sweeping program in accordance with Exhibit H.
With the assistance of Town Public Works, Contractor shall provide a public notification program for street sweeping activities that gives a written 24-hour notice for areas impacted by on-street parking. Street sweeping activities shall take place between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Contractor shall provide “on-call” street sweeping services provided at the direction of the Town with appropriate contact and communication protocols. Upon request of “on-call” sweeping/vacuuming services, Contractor shall provide a response time within 24-hours or less.
The street sweeping program, as identified in Exhibit H, shall be implemented for the first two years of this Agreement. During the months of May 2019 - July 2019, the Contractor and the Town shall work together to determine if the sweeping schedule needs to be modified to improve the street sweeping results for curbed streets, repeated hot-spots, and other efficiency opportunities identified during the first two years of this Agreement. Any modifications to the street sweeping program shall continue to provide the 1,300 annual sweeping miles service with no changes to the “on-call” service hours. Contractor shall process the street sweeping debris at a location designated by Town.
2. Amend Sections 8.03 Reports and 12.08 Subcontracting to remove references to street sweeping:
8.03 Reports (subsection B.3)
Contractor shall provide information about Street Sweeping Program set forth in Exhibit H.
12.08 Subcontracting
Except for street sweeping activities, Contractor shall not engage any subcontractors for Collection, Processing or Disposal of Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Yard Waste without the prior written consent of the Town
3. Strike Exhibit H Street Sweeping Program (list of public roads not shown below due to length):
Street Sweeping Program
Contractor shall provide Street Sweeping services during the following months based on Schedules A and B below:
Month
Schedule A

Arterials &
Collectors Only
Schedule B

Services shall include:
1. 24hr notice “on-call” sweeping for 20 mobilizations with up to 80 hours of sweeping.
2. Sweeper shall include a vacuum attachment for on-call drainage inlet cleanings.
Staff and NRWS are open to discussing any other options the Council would like to suggest regarding this agenda item.
Financial Impact:
The proposed amendment of the existing franchise agreement would see the investment of approximately $75,000 in collected street sweeping fees from NRWS towards the purchase of the Town’s street sweeper thereby reducing the approved Measure V expenditure from $144,000 to +/-$69,000.
