COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024- , “A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Paradise accepting the work performed under the Roadside Evacuation Sign Project Contract No. 9431.CON, performed by John McGuire DBA McGuire Pacific Constructors.”
Background:

As a component of the Town’s efforts to increase safety and awareness of evacuation zones in Paradise, staff has prepared a project to deploy roadside signs which notify motorists of the changes to evacuation zones throughout Town. A project exhibit is included in this Agenda Summary.

Understanding evacuation zones is especially critical for an individual’s residence, however, in an actual emergency, many may not know the spatial layout of evacuation zones elsewhere. The intent of the roadside signs planned will be to notify the motorist of the zone entering and leaving at designated locations, similar to Tsunami Hazard areas along coastlines. Lastly, installation of roadside signs will increase the versatility of the Town’s Early Warning Sirens, allowing for specific zone information to be communicated more broadly, as needed.

On September 12th, 2023, Paradise Town Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-45, a resolution approving the Plans & Specifications for the Roadside Evacuation Zone Sign Project. Council further directed staff to advertise bids on the project.

On October 10th, 2023, Paradise Town Council awarded contract No 9431.CON Roadside Evacuation Sign Project to John McGuire DBA McGuire Pacific Constructors. the amount of their base bid $70,777 and approved contingency expenditures not exceeding 20%.

Analysis:

Construction efforts began on March 7, 2024, and continued through March 20, 2024. A total of 86 signs were installed at 44 different locations town wide. 39 Financial Impact:

The total estimated construction cost of the Roadside Evacuation Sign Project, including a 20% contingency, was $84,932. The actual total construction cost is $74,791. Funding for the project came from Local Transportation Funds (LTF).

Council Agenda Summary

Agenda Item: 5(a)
ORIGINATED BY: Kate Anderson, Business and Housing Manager REVIEWED BY: James Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) 2023-2024 Action Plan

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Conduct a duly noticed and published public hearing to solicit comments and/or suggestions regarding the Draft 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan; and,

2. Adopt the Draft 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan as submitted; and,

3. Authorize staff to submit the adopted 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan to the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development should no public comment be received; or,

4. Revise the Draft 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan as submitted.

Background:

The Town of Paradise has been a U.S. Department of Housing and Development (HUD) entitlement city since 1994. HUD awards grants to entitlement community grantees to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development, and providing improved community facilities and services.

Entitlement communities develop their own programs and funding priorities. However, grantees must give maximum feasible priority to activities which benefit low- and moderate-income persons. A grantee may also carry out activities which aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. Additionally, grantees may fund activities when the grantee certifies that the activities meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. CDBG funds may not be used for activities which do not meet these broad national objectives.

HUD determines the amount of each entitlement grant by a statutory dual formula which uses several objective measures of community needs, including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas.
44 Analysis:

Annual Action Plan Proposed Funding Allocations:

The Town will provide economic development opportunities and public services for LMI households in Paradise.
2024 Staff Recommended Funding Breakdown:

Economic Development $65,449
Public Services $15,104
Program administration $20,138
TOTAL: $100,691
Financial Impact:

The impact of this agenda item and subsequent actions related to the CDBG Program is positive, as it will result in the award of approximately $100,691 in federal funds. There is no impact to the General Fund.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The Town of Paradise, through its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, strives to provide affordable and decent housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities especially for low- to moderate-income (LMI) households and special needs communities. The Town is designated as an entitlement community by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), enabling it to be eligible for federal CDBG funds allocated through HUD’s Community Planning Development program. These funds will help the Town address the community development objectives outlined by HUD, which include, but are not limited to: affirmatively furthering fair housing, affordable housing activities, public infrastructure & facilities improvements, and public services.

The PY 2024 Annual Action Plan (AAP) describes the eligible activities that will work towards accomplishing the goals established in the strategic plan. By addressing the identified priority needs, the Town will improve the quality of life of residents in Paradise.

Paradise is still recovering from the aftermath of the Camp Fire, on November 8, 2018, that displaced over 25,000 residents and destroyed 90% of its homes and businesses. The Town's priorities are focused on helping our residents return home, rebuild and improve our Town's infrastructure, and support our community with public services as it repopulates.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The Town of Paradise has developed its strategic plan based on an analysis of the data presented in its plan and the community participation and stakeholder consultation process. Through these efforts, the Town has identified two priority needs and associated goals to address those needs. The priority needs and goals for this program year are as follows:

Priority Need: Public Services & Quality of Life Improvements 47 Annual Action Plan
2024
3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
2A Provide Public Services for LMI & Special Needs
Priority Need: Economic Opportunity
4A Provide for Small Business Assistance

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

The Town of Paradise, with other public, private and nonprofit community housing providers and nonhousing service agencies, continue to make significant contributions toward rebuilding housing and public facilities and infrastructure. The need for affordable housing, public improvements and services is also documented by this Annual Plan and the most recent program year 2022 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

The PY 2022 CAPER reports that the Town of Paradise completed a priority goal (1A Expand & Improve Public Infrastructure) through completion of the Sidewalk Infill project and made progress towards the priority goal of Affordable Housing Development and Preservation (3A Increase Affordable Housing Opportunity) by financing the acquistion of residential properties for Habitat for Humanity Self-Help Build Program.

During PY 2022-2023, the Town of Paradise focused on meeting timliness, providing support services for low-to-moderate income households, purchasing real estate for affordable home ownership, and performing program administration. Despite high hopes that the Town of Paradise could support the implementation of a new HOME Infill Construction program for First Time Home Buyers, HCD has continued to keep all HOME programs for First-Time Home Buyers and related programs on hold since July of 2022 in order to update the recapture provision in their program guidelines and contracts.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.

The Town of Paradise worked closely with local and regional partners to gather feedback for the Consolidated Plan. This included community stakeholders which were specific to Paradise and as well as Butte County, the Housing Authority of Butte County and the Butte County Continuum of Care.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The projects address the highest priority needs in the Town.

Since the Camp Fire in 2018, there has been an influx of federal funding for disaster recovery projects and an increase in local employment opportunities. This Economic Development project attempts to facilitate the hiring of low-income residents (known as Section 3 and Targeted Section 3 workers), or contracting with small businesses majority owned by low-income people (Section 3 business).

Public services for LMI and special needs groups such as the elderly and persons with a disability are need to help improve the quality of life in Paradise. While public services is a high priority, there is a grant allocation cap for public services at 15%.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The Town of Paradise does not allocate funding based solely on geographic requirements, but does restrict assistance to within Town of Paradise town limits.

Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The Town of does not allocate funding based solely on geographic requirements. When the planned activities are intended to serve individuals or households directly, those individuals or households must meet income qualifications, as well as residency requirements, in order to receive assistance from the program. In these instances, Town staff and/or one of its partner agencies shall complete an in-take and eligibility status review of the applicant individual or household, before the project/activity is initiated.

When the Town has identified infrastructure and public facility improvement activities, planned activities will serve a community, neighborhood or “area”. These projects (or activities) are said to have an “area-wide” benefit. Per HUD requirements, these areas must be within an eligible Census Block Group Tract, as defined by HUD-CDBG regulations. HUD determines Low/Mod block groups tracts as those with 51% LMI population, however the Town of Paradise is an exception grantee with the LMI block group threshold lowered to 50.6%.

Introduction
The Town on Paradise’s goals this year are for expansions of public services and economic development opportunities. Because of an influx of disaster recovery funding geared toward rebuilding affordable housing, home hardening and mitigation, and infrastructure projects, it's anticipated that economic development activities will relate, both directly and indirectly, to the creation of affordable housing. It's unknown how many households will be supported through this action during this small window of time for projects that take 5-10 years to put into service.

Introduction
The Town of Paradise receives support from the Housing Authority of the County of Butte (HACB). The mission of HACB is to assist LMI residents of Butte County to secure and maintain high quality affordable housing. HACB administers and/or manages many different housing programs such as public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program. These program are available in Paradise and across the county.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing Prior to the fire, the Town did not have any public housing within Town limits. One of the reasons for this was the lack of a sewer system. Installing a sewer system is part of our Long Term Recovery Plan, and with a sewer the Town will look at the options for public housing. HACB will open wait lists for public housing and Section 8 vouchers. For Section 8 vouchers, due to limited funding and increased demand, placement on the waitlist is done via lottery and capped at 2,500.

For public housing, HACB will be accepting applications for Public Housing waiting lists for three (3) bedroom units located in Biggs/Gridley, Chico, and Oroville. Applications can be obtained, mailed or dropped off at 2039 Forest Ave., Chico, CA 95928 or online by looking under Public Housing at the following: http://www.butte-housing.com/applicants/applications/ Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
Public housing residents can participate in the HACB Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program. The FSS program works with support agencies throughout Butte County to help families develop strengths, skills and experiences necessary to achieve economic independence. A guidebook is offered to help participants learn how the program can benefit residents. The FSS program links participants with the education, job training, counseling, and other services necessary for them to become employed and to earn self-sufficient wages so they no longer need to rely on governmental financial assistance. Families are assisted through this program with a dedicated FSS Coordinator, which also supports them with referrals to needed resources.

If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
N/A. The PHA is not designated as troubled and is a “High Performer”.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The most recent Point-in-Time (PIT) Count survey was conducted at the Continuum of Care (CoC) level by the Butte Countywide Homeless Continuum of Care (CA-519 Chico/Paradise/Butte County CoC) taken on the night of January 26, 2022. Due to the variables made by the Camp Fire made a true count is very difficult within the Town. Data from the NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment suggests that a majority of persons experiencing homelessness continue to be unsheltered, in particular the chronically homeless and veterans. Homelessness, and the prevention of homelessness continues to be a priority for the Town of Paradise.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The Town of Paradise benefits from the homeless initiatives through the CoC. The Countywide CoC is a multi-agency planning body with the common goal of ending homelessness. This goal is accomplished by assisting individuals and families experiencing homelessness to receive rapid, adaptive, quality services which lead to the long-term stability of permanent housing and self-sufficiency. Specifically, the CoC administers the Homeless Managements Information System (HMIS) and the Coordinated Entry System (CES) for homeless within the region. HMIS information is tracked to inform the CoC and its members of the homeless population details in the region and the CES helps members to identify needs and services that will assist persons and families experiencing homelessness with referrals and resources. Currently, data suggests that a majority of persons experiencing homelessness continue to be unsheltered, and in particular the chronically homeless and veterans. As such, the Town will focus on these identified homeless groups.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Town of Paradise relies on our neighboring communities for shelters such as the Torres Shelter in Chico for homeless individuals from Paradise. Youth 4 Change has a several shelters for homeless youth in the area including Chico and Oroville.

Those who are in need of emergency shelter can contact the Butte County Sheltering Hotline. The Sheltering Hotline is for Butte County residents who have evacuated due to their home being in an evacuation zone and need sheltering or for those who have been placed in non-congregate shelter (hotel voucher stays). There are 2 options to receive sheltering assistance from the county: The County’s Sheltering Hotline is available 8am-5pm, 7 days per week. Call: 530-552-6150, and Email the County 72 Annual Action Plan
2024

Sheltering program at [email protected] Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The Town of Paradise continues to work with neighboring jurisdictions and Butte County to find a solution for homelessness after the Camp Fire. For services that help the homeless transition to temporary or long-term housing, the Continuum of Care partners with many organizations and agencies that provide these services, both in Paradise and regionally. The Butte-Glenn 2-1-1 is a referral resource that connects persons experiencing to entities that can help assist them with their unique situations.

The 2-1-1 service is also connected to many of the CoC members. The Housing Authority of Butte County helps low income households with Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. An important nonprofit transition housing support resource in the area is the Jesus Center, which heads a collaborative of transitional housing partners. The Jesus Center recently moved into a new facility at 2255 Fair St. in Chico and the former location is currently being rebuilt as permanent housing for low-income individuals.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

As mentioned above, the Town of Paradise continues to work with neighboring jurisdictions and Butte County to find a solution for homelessness after the Camp Fire. For services that help the homeless, especially low-income individuals and families to avoid returning to homelessness, the Continuum of Care partners with many member organizations and agencies that provide various services in the area, both in Paradise and regionally. These organizations include, but are not limited to:

Catalyst Domestic Violence Services for persons affected by domestic violence. Catalyst provides a safe and confidential place for children and families, including drop-in services, counseling, legal services and more.

Elijah House Foundation: An addiction treatment that provides a variety of services including substance abuse and mental treatment, residential treatment services, alcohol and drug free housing and the Back 73 Annual Action Plan

to Work employment program.

The Jesus Center: A collaborative of transitional housing partners that work with persons experiencing or are at-risk of homelessness.

The Housing Authority of Butte County: The PHA helps low income households with Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.

Disability Action Center (DAC): DAC is a private, non-profit which helps to meet specific needs of people with disabilities living in Northern California. Dedicated staff provides free support to help community members with disabilities achieve and/or maintain their optimal level of self-reliance and independence.

DAC provide support services such as information, housing assistance, and provider referrals.

Youth 4 Change: The organization has several locations throughout the area which help to prevent youth homelessness. Paradise youth may be referred to Youth 4 Change services.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

The primary negative effects on affordable housing and investment are not based on public policies made at the local level. The 2018 Camp fire continues to be the defining event in determining priorities and the availability of housing, and the Town is working to ensure that public policies encourage development of housing units as quickly and safely as possible. Historically, one of the barriers to affordable housing is the Town of Paradise’s lack of a municipal wastewater treatment facility. Typical septic tanks and leach lines are adequate for single-family development but this is not a viable alternative for new housing developments which are at higher densities. Typically, affordable housing units are built in clusters and would require a more advanced wastewater treatment system, which typically is very expensive and may lead to costs being passed on to the developer or whomever is financing the project.

The other primary barrier to affordable housing in Paradise are funding policies made at the state and federal levels which prevent 100% of needed funding to be committed to any one project. Affordable housing projects in disaster affected communities that have lost services and amenities are still expected to compete for other government funding sources for the remainder of funding with projects in non-disaster affected communities. Median income in Butte County, like half of all counties in California, rose higher than twice the national average increase and reached an low-income limit increase ceiling created by HUD. As a result, Butte County low-income limits are artificially low at 72% AMI instead of 80% AMI, which means there are hundreds of area residents who earn far below the state median income but do not qualify for any housing assistance.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
The Town supports all individuals who are rebuilding housing of any type within this jurisdiction by adopting ministerial versus discretionary policies. With the construction of the sewer, development high density housing will no longer be limited by septic capacity.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

This section outlines other actions the Town will take to improve the quality of life for Paradise residents and address underserved needs in the community. CDBG funds enable the Town to address the priority needs in Paradise such as improvements to public facilities and infrastructure in LMI areas, the construction of affordable housing and homeownership opportunity for LMI households, opportunities for economic development and vital supportive services for LMI and special needs groups such as the elderly. Other actions identified in this section are additional resources the Town has to assist vulnerable residents and underserved needs in the community.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The activities identified in this plan will work to directly address the underserved needs of the LMI and special needs population. CDBG funded programs will work to expand on successful programs and the goal is to fill service gaps.

There are many needs for residents of the Town of Paradise after the Camp Fire, and many barriers to meeting those needs. The Town is working tirelessly to assist our residents as they rebuild homes and businesses. The Town of Paradise's Building Resiliency Center directly assist residents with rebuilding and with resources for housing and grant programs and hosts representatives administering State run housing grant programs.

The actions in this plan address the needs of LMI individuals two-fold; through increased employment opportunities in support of affordable housing construction.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The Town will continue its First Time Home Buyer and Owner Occupied Rehabilitation programs to help homeowners rebuild after the Camp Fire. The Town will work with them on additional affordable housing opportunities in Paradise once a sewer is constructed. CDBG funds will be used to support a HOME-funded Infill New Construction program when award funds are released.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
Since the Camp Fire burned 95% of the Town of Paradise, most homes with lead based paint have been destroyed. As new homes are built, they will not have lead based paint. Any home that survived that takes part in our Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Program would be required to undergo lead-based paint testing. The Town will comply with federal regulations regarding lead testing, containment, and abatement. Paradise residents have access to Butte County Public Health services including the county Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP). To report a health emergency, the county public health department can be contacted at 530-552-4000 or [email protected]. More information 76 Annual Action Plan
2024

about lead poison prevention can be found on the county website at:
https://www.buttecounty.net/ph/Programs/MaternalChildHealth/ChildhoodLeadPoisoningPrevention Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The activities in this plan work directly to reduce the number of poverty level families in Paradise. While CDBG funds are limited and the Town cannot possible address every poverty issue in Paradise, the Town will utilize CDBG funds where they have the most impact.

Public services supported through the CDBG Community Partnership grant for subrecipients include youth services. According to a 2015 study by the University of Michigan on the return on investment in services provided by Boys and Girls Clubs, "Every dollar invested in Boys & Girls Clubs returns $9.60 in current and future earnings and cost-savings to their communities. The greatest benefits are from Club members’ improved grades and reduced alcohol use and their parents’ earnings." Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The Town will continually work to develop its institutional structure by working closely with other Town departments. Ongoing communication and planning with these Town departments and programs will help strengthen the institutional structure of the CDBG program.

The Town Institutional Structure is as follows: Five member Town Council - The Town Council holds public hearings on Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans and CAPER reports and approves submittal to HUD. Town Council also approves funding for Public Service Agencies. The Town of Paradise, Business and Housing Services staff provides the main administrative and project management duties over the CDBG program. The BHS Staff is under the management of the Community Development Director. Staff prepares the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans and CAPER for each CDBG program year. The oversight of the CDBG program is provided by the five-member Town Council whom are elected officials voted in by the citizens of Paradise. All reports and plans are reviewed by Council before they are submitted to HUD.

The Paradise Community Village rental housing project united several organizations that are working cooperatively for the betterment of the community. The degree of commitment and cooperation needed to move this project forward establishes a new paradigm in institutional structure and brings community resources together in a whole new way.

The Town works closely with non-profit organizations in the area that provide specific programs to the citizens of Paradise. These organizations provide services to very low-, low- and moderate-income residents, including the frail and elderly, mentally disabled, physically disabled, homeless, and at-risk youth. These organizations submit funding requests to the Town to qualify for money that comes out of the Community Needs Category. Up to 15% of annual funding is set-aside for these organizations. Once 77 Annual Action Plan
2024
33 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
applications for grant funding are received and reviewed by staff, they go through a competitive review process and recommendations are decided by a funding committee and forwarded to the Town Council for final approval. Once funding decisions are made, organizations are required to sign a contract with the Town outlining the rules and regulations of public service funds. They are required to submit the required documents and reference material related to grant funding. After the contract is signed, the organizations submit quarterly and year end reports for staff review. Organizations are audited and staff performs site visits on a yearly basis. If organizations are not submitting reports on-time or are unable to follow through with program requirements, staff will monitor the organizations to make sure that HUD regulations are being met, or funding is withdrawn.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The Town will focus on collaboration between government agencies, local non-profits, communityneeds organizations, and local businesses. The town will continue to work with stakeholder and other community service agencies, and organizations.

The Town will continue to work with CHIP and other private housing and service agencies on affordable housing like Paradise Community Village. Once the sewer is completed, the Town anticipates more opportunities for private/public partnership for affordable housing.

DEPARTMENTS(S) AFFECTED: Finance
_____________________________________________________________________

PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is Town of Paradise will follow the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) guidelines for GASB-96 when classifying Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements. GASB-96 establishes a definition for SBITAs and provides uniform guidance for accounting and financial reporting. GASB-96 improves the comparability, relevance, and reliability of financial statements. GASB-96 states that a SBITA is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s IT software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the underlying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange‐like transaction. All Software Contracts meeting GASB-96 criteria must report a liability and an intangible right to use asset as of July 1, 2022. Additionally, essential information about the arrangement must be disclosed on the financial statements.

TERMINOLOGY
a. "Control of the right to use" – requires both a right to obtain present service capacity from the use of the underlying IT assets and the right to determine the nature and manner of use of the underlying IT assets.
b. “IT software” – subscription‐based information technology arrangements (SBITA) commonly include provisions such as remote access to software applications or cloud data storage and allows for temporary use that ends when the subscription expires.
c. "Period of time" – the subscription term is the period of time that the government has a noncancellable right to use the underlying IT assets plus any periods that the government or vendor have the option to extend the contract and it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
i. Subscription Term includes:

1. Noncancelable period during which the Town has a right to use the underlying asset

2. Any periods in which either the Town or the Vendor have the option to extend the contract, if reasonably certain the option will be exercised by that party.

3. Any periods in which either the Town or the Vendor have the option 82 to terminate the contract, if reasonably certain the option will not be exercised by that party. The assessment of whether an option to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised should occur at the commencement of the contract.
ii. Subscription Term excludes:

1. Cancelable periods: Periods for which either the Town or the Vendor have an option to terminate the contract without permission from the other party OR if both parties have to agree to extend. d. "Exchange or exchange‐like transaction" – both parties to the contract receive or give up essentially equal value or not quite equal value.

EXCLUSIONS
a. Standalone IT Support/ Maintenance service contracts that do not include the right to use an underlying IT asset.
b. Contracts that convey control of right to use IT software and tangible assets that meet the definition of a lease in GASB Statement 87, where the software component is insignificant compared to the cost of the underlying tangible capital asset (for example, a computer with operating software or a smart copier that is connected to an IT system).
c. Contracts that meet the definition of a public‐private and public‐public partnership and availability payment arrangements in GASB Statement 94. d. Licensing arrangements that provide a perpetual license to governments to use a vendor's computer software, which are subject to GASB Statement 51. A perpetual agreement gives the buyer the right to use the software for an indefinite amount of time (in perpetuity).
e. Short‐term SBITA contracts, under 12 months including exercised renewal periods.
f. Governments that provide the right to use their IT software and associated tangible capital assets to other entities through SBITAs.
g. The Town will have an annual review of the lease to determine if needed and funding available to purchase.
h. The lease does not renew automatically without a newly signed agreement from the Town.
i. The lease had been paid as a one-time payment for one year. j. The Town will not continue the lease into the future. k. The lease liability would not exist if we did not have any leases to record. l. The lease liability would not exist without any accounts as the lease would not exists without any accounts.

DETERMINATION CRITERIA
a. Determine if the software contract is excluded or not. See section above. b. Determine the contract length.
c. Determine the beginning date of the contract after July 1, 2022. d. Determine the payment amounts.
e. Determine the Discount Rate.
f. Determine if the software contract is significant and should be account for under GASB- 96 criteria.
i. Subscription liability should be initially measured at the present value of subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term. 83 ii. Subscription asset should be initially measured as the sum of (1) the initial subscription liability amount, (2) payments made to the vendor at the commencement of the subscription term, and (3) capitalizable implementation costs, less any incentives received from the vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term. Separately identifiable costs for maintenance and service contracts are not included.

SBITA RECORDING
a. If the contract is determined to be a SBITA then the Town will record the lease in a GASB-96 template that the Town uses for reporting following the guidelines below.
i. Components
(GASB 96: Paragraphs 44-49, B51-B53): the Town may elect to account for individual components as a single combined lease component if it is not practicable to determine a best estimate for price allocation for some or all components in the contract.
a. Components of a contract include only those items or activities that transfer a good or service to the lessee. An example of non-lease components includes a separate perpetual licensing arrangement attached to a subscription-based IT asset.
b. The Town shall allocate the consideration in the contract (i.e., payments) on a relative standalone price basis to the separate components of the contract. If observable standalone prices are not readily available, the lessee shall estimate the standalone prices, maximizing the use of observable information.
ii. Lease Recording Terms

1. The Town will record the asset type as SBITA – GASB-96.

2. The Town will use the effective date of the lease as the start date for GASB-96 recording, which must be after July 1, 2022.
iii. Initial Application Date

1. (GASB 96: Paragraph 63, B78-79): the Town must apply the Lease Standard to all reporting periods presented,
unless it is deemed not practicable. Reasonable efforts should be employed before a government determines that
restatement of all prior periods presented is not practicable.

In other words, inconvenient should be considered
equivalent to not practicable.
b. The Town will record the payment amounts and the end date/terms in full months to reflect the lease asset life that must be after July 1, 2022. i. Taxes will not be recorded for payments in future fiscal years as tax rates are entirely variable.
c. The ‘Discount Rate’ for the lease will be determined by what the current schedule of IBR’s are according to the California Department of Finance and Administration
i. https://www.nmdfa.state.nm.us/financial-control/gasb-87and96- resources/
84 ii. This rate is only determined once when the lease is initially recorded.
d. The Town will not record SBITAs as Prepaid Expenses on auditing templates to avoid duplicate information for financial statements, as that information will be recorded and provided through GASB-96 templates that the Town uses. e. All SBITAs financial information are reporting to the Auditors annually to be disclosed on the financial statements.

Agenda Item: 6(b)
ORIGINATED BY: Aimee Beleu, Finance Director/Town Treasurer REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Report of Development Impact Fees for the Town of Paradise for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-__, “A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Paradise, California, Reporting Unexpended Development Impact Fees in Accordance with Government Code Section 66006.”
Background:

In April 1995, the Town of Paradise adopted a Development Impact Fee Program to address the cost of facilities and capital needs generated by residential and commercial new development. The purpose was to ensure that new growth paid its own way and didn’t burden existing revenue sources. In January 2001, the program and associated fees were revised and updated. The program has five basic elements:
 Fire Facilities, Training and Equipment
 Law Enforcement Facilities, Training and Equipment
 Traffic Control Facilities
 Streets and Thoroughfares
 Drainage Facilities
In accordance with Section 66006 of the Government Code, the Town is required to prepare an annual report related to development impact fees. This report must contain the following information and be available to the public 15 days prior to review at a public meeting:

1. A brief description of the type of fee in the fund.

2. The amount of the fee.

3. The beginning and ending amount of each fund.

4. The amount of the fees collected, and interest earned.

5. An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the percent of the public improvement funded with the fees.

6. An identification of approximate dates by which the construction of the public improvements will commence if the Town determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete the project.

7. A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the fund (if any).

8. The amount of refunds made of fees collected (if any). 86 Analysis:

Staff has completed a resolution with attached addendum, which includes the required legal information for review and adoption. It reports on development impact fees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Staff continues to monitor each impact fee account balance and look for funding opportunities for the projects identified in the 2001 study.

Financial Impact:

There is no financial impact to the Town of preparing and presenting these development impact fee reports.

Agenda Item: 6(c)
ORIGINATED BY: Jessica Erdahl, Supervising Project Manager REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Award Construction Contract - 2024 On-System Road Rehabilitation /HSIP Systemic Intersection Safety
Improvement Project

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

Yes, Tier 1
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider adopting Resolution No. 2024- , “ A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Paradise Awarding Construction Contract No. 7303.3 CON, 2024 On-System Road Rehabilitation /HSIP Systemic Intersection Safety Improvement Project, to Lamon Construction Co, Inc. in the amount of their base bid and designating authority to the Town Manager to Execute an Agreement with Lamon Construction Co, Inc. and to approve contingency expenditures not exceeding 10%”. (ROLL CALL VOTE) Background:

Due to the ongoing recovery effort and debris removal operations within the Town and Butte County, the Town’s on-system roadway infrastructure sustained heavy damage in the wake of the Camp Fire. The pavement structural sections were damaged in two ways:

1. Pavement scarring due to car fires – On the day of the Camp Fire, several motorists were required to abandon their vehicles and continue evacuating on foot. The subsequent car fires damaged the pavement, justifying the need for repair.

2. Pavement structural section damage due to heavy truck traffic – Following the Camp Fire, the Town experienced a staggering level of truck traffic. During the CALOES Debris Removal effort, over 3.7 million tons of material was removed, equivalent to approximately 300,000 truckloads. During that same period, PG&E, Comcast, and AT&T restored their damaged distribution infrastructure. Additionally, PG&E removed over 92,000 trees, and an additional 100,000 trees were removed in 2020 as part of the Hazard Tree Removal Program. The volume of trucks using the Town’s on-system roads has resulted in damage to the pavement structural section, justifying the need for rehabilitation.

The Town coordinated with Caltrans and Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) to secure Emergency Relief permanent restoration funding to repair damaged on-system roads town wide.

Through the Emergency Relief Program, the Town of Paradise has been approved for $55,439,200 for the on-system road rehabilitation project. The approved project is located on Federal-Aid “On-System” roads – meaning the Town’s primary collectors and arterials such as Skyway, Clark, Pearson, Elliott, Bille, Wagstaff, Pentz, etc.

Additionally, in 2018 the Town has been approved for $1,229,300 in Cycle 9 Highway Safety 99 Improvement Program (HSIP) funds to improve safety at sixteen stop-controlled intersections at various locations. The countermeasure will be to systemically improve minor street approaches with a combination of additional intersection warning/regulatory signs, improved pavement markings, and providing improved sight triangles. For efficiency this project will be bid and constructed with the On-System Road Rehabilitation projects.

On November 10, 2020, Paradise Town Council awarded master on-call contracts to Mark Thomas, Dokken Engineering, GHD, Inc., Wood Rodgers, Inc. and Dewberry Drake Haglan to perform on-call professional civil engineering services for a variety of local, state, and federallyfunded projects. Subsequently, in January 2021, task orders were issued to Mark Thomas, Dokken Engineering, and Wood Rodgers, Inc. to perform civil design services on the on-system road rehabilitation project.

The overall scope of work for the combined Road Rehabilitation and HSIP Project can be summarized as follows:
 Repair Camp Fire damaged on-system roads to achieve a pre-fire condition.  Improve safety at two stop-controlled intersection with a combination of striping, warning/regulatory signs, improved pavement markings and providing improved sight triangles.

On June 14, 2022 Paradise Town Council awarded Contract No. 7303.1.CON, 2022 On-System Roadway Rehabilitation –Skyway (Project 1) to Baldwin Contracting Company, Inc. dba Knife River Construction in the amount of their base bid plus additive bid #1,$5,069,864.78.

On January 10, 2023 Paradise Town Council awarded Contract No. 7303.2.CON, 2023 OnSystem Roadway Rehabilitation – Pearson (Project 2) to Baldwin Contracting Company, Inc. dba Knife River Construction in the amount of their base bid,$5,339,517.50.

On December 12, 2024 Paradise Town Council adopted a resolution approving the Plans, Specifications and Estimate for the 2024 On-System Road Rehabilitation /HSIP Systemic Intersection Safety Improvement Project. Council further directed staff to advertise for bids.

A vicinity map of the project limits is provided in this Agenda Summary.

Analysis:

On February 22, 2024, 4 bids were received by the Town Clerk and publicly opened. A list of bids received are shown in the table below:

Bid No. Contractor Base Bid Amount
X Engineer's Estimate $
6,033,641.00

4 Teichert Construction $
6,554,000.00
Per the contract specifications, the award of the contract, if it be awarded, will be to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder based upon the base bid plus additive bid whose bid complies with all the requirements prescribed.

Staff is recommending award of Contract No. 7303.3 CON, 2024 On-System Road Rehabilitation /HSIP Systemic Intersection Safety Improvement Project to Lamon Construction Co, Inc. in the amount of their base bid $4,961,786.55. This recommendation is made after careful review of the Contractor’s bid submittals including required Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)/Section 3 Commitment, DBE/Section 3 Good Faith efforts and subcontractor listings.

Financial Impact:

FHWA Emergency Relief and HSIP funds have been authorized for construction and construction engineering phases at actual documented cost incurred.

The total estimated construction and construction engineering cost for the 2024 On-System Road Rehabilitation /HSIP Systemic Intersection Safety Improvement Project is $6,195,250.69. The estimated funding breakdown is shown below.

Town of Paradise
Council Agenda Summary
Date: April 9, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(d)
ORIGINATED BY: Colin Nelson, Capital Projects Manager
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Paradise Sewer Project Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan.

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

Yes, Tier 1
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider concurring with staff’s recommendation to adopt the Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan (RAMP) that has been prepared for the Paradise Sewer Project as the document that will guide the process for acquisition of any easements or rights of way that are determined to be necessary to the Paradise Sewer Project; and,

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-__, “A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Paradise Adopting the Paradise Sewer Project Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan as the official RAMP for the Paradise Sewer Project.

Background:

Since its incorporation in 1979, the Town has sought a formal wastewater treatment solution for the community, with service for commercial and densely populated residential areas being a priority. Failed and failing septic systems create public health and environmental concerns and have limited economic growth. Prior to the Camp Fire, which almost completely destroyed the town in 2018, Paradise was the largest unsewered community in California. The Town has prepared numerous studies to address its need for a centralized wastewater treatment solution, and in its most recent study, the Town identified a proposed sewer service area. The proposed sewer service area includes the Town’s commercial corridors, and as described in the 2017 feasibility study, it represented the area that had the most septic systems that had failed or were projected to fail by 2022.

The Paradise Sewer Project consists of three primary components: Core Collection System, Export Pipeline System, and Extended Collection System. The Core Collection System would support the centralized businesses and housing in Town, including approximately 1,500 parcels along the Skyway, Clark Road, and Pearson Road corridors. The proposed Export Pipeline System would start at the southern end of the Core Collection System as a gravity sewer line and would continue southwest approximately 18 miles to the City of Chico for connection to the Chico Water Pollution Control Plant. Other than the Town of Paradise flow, no other connections will be allowed to the export pipeline. The Extended Collection System would be an extension of the Core Collection System that would allow collection of sewage from parcels outside the Core Collection System, but within the Town limits.
106
The Town of Paradise has secured $30 million for design and $15 Million for construction through Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds to facilitate the design phase of the Paradise Sewer Project.

Analysis:

As a part of the Paradise Sewer Project delivery, it will be necessary to obtain various easements (temporary and permanent) in addition to small portions of private property for necessary above ground structures. It is the project’s intent to minimize as many impacts to private property as possible, however some impacts will be necessary. The proposed Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan (RAMP) outlines a fair and equitable process that also follows State and Federal Laws and ensures that residents are given the opportunity to negotiate fairly on any proposed acquisition. This document protects the residents of our community as well as the Town from any unfair negotiations or processes.

In general, the guidance provided by the RAMP addresses the following procedures:
1) Developing the preliminary cost estimate
2) Title and Escrow coordination
3) Appraisals
4) Appraisal Waiver Valuation
5) Acquisition by negotiation
6) Mediation/ Condemnation
7) Relocation
The proposed RAMP could serve as a template for other Town Capital Improvement Program projects which require ROW acquisition.

Financial Impact:

None at this time. Costs associated with Right of Way acquisition will be further developed with the progression of the Project’s design phase.

Town of Paradise Sewer Project
Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT
The Town of Paradise is
planning to construct,
operate, and maintain a
new sewer collection
system within the Town
limits, with an export
pipeline from the Town to
the Chico Wastewater
Pollution Control Plant
(WPCP). Specifically, the
Project would consist of
three primary
components: Core
Collection System, Export
Pipeline System, and
Extended Collection
System. The Core Collection System would collect wastewater from the Town's sewer service area and convey it to the Export Pipeline System at southwestern edge of Paradise on Skyway. The Export Pipeline System includes an 18-mile pipeline that would convey wastewater from the Core Collection System in Paradise down Skyway and across southern Chico to the Chico WPCP. The Extended Collection System is an extension of the Core Collection System that would allow collection of sewage from parcels outside of the Core Collection System but within the Town limits up to the allowed capacity of the system.

Development and construction of the City of Paradise Sewer Project (the “Project”) will require the acquisition of various property interests which include underground sewer easements, and temporary construction easements. These acquisitions may be subject to applicable provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition for Federal and Federally- Assistance Programs Act, as set forth in 49 CFR § 24 (the “Uniform Act”). The purpose of the Uniform Act is (i) to ensure that owners of real property from which a property interest will be acquired are treated fairly and consistently, (ii) to encourage and expedite acquisition by agreements with such owners, (iii) to minimize litigation, and (iv) to promote public confidence in the Right of Way acquisition process. 112

Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT
Preliminary Cost Estimate
All projects require funding from various sources. To determine the necessary budgets, cost estimates are established for various disciplines and at various stages of the project. For the sole purpose of Right of Way, costs are established after review of preliminary design plans and project team input. Items identified within the cost estimate include the following.

1. Parcel Ownership, Land use and zoning

2. Title and Escrow Costs

3. Appraisal and Appraisal Review Costs

4. Land and Improvements (Permanent Easement, Temporary Construction Easement)

5. Right of Way Personnel and Appraisal Costs
All parcel data is obtained using various paid sources. Costs per square foot for all estimated project areas are based on actual like sales within a specified radius of the project site. Costs for Title Reports and Escrow, Appraisal and Appraisal Review and personnel costs are established either by estimated costs provided by a specialty firm or by using recent costs shown on recent like projects. 113

Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT
Right of Entry
Rights of Entry may need to be obtained for environmental survey and geotechnical testing. Right of Way staff will require specific needs from each environmental and geotechnical to prepare rights of entry and those will be mailed to property owners. Agents will work with property owners to answer any questions about the rights of entry and attempt to obtain agreement through coordination and agreements. Signed rights of entry will be provided to the project team. If signed rights of entry are not able to be obtained, further coordination with the project team will be required and decisions about solutions will be made. Rights of Entry templates with conditions and dates will be prepared by right of way agents and technicians for approval by the Town.

Title and Escrow Coordination
The selection and management of an experienced Title Company is necessary and important in project delivery. The selected Title Company will investigate the property to determine legal ownership, potential liens and various recordings attached to the property. Once the investigation has been concluded, the Title Company will provide HDR all findings in the form of a Preliminary Title reports (PTR). Each property that has been identified by the project as needing either an underground sewer easement or temporary construction easement will require a PTR. HDR and their subconsultant have experience working directly with title personnel to provide quality control through the examination process and provide title resolutions as they arise. The right of way team reviews the PTR as part of beginning stages to identify any vesting issues or encumbrances while working with the lienholder to obtain necessary releases which may affect the acquiring area. The title coordinator will perform the following activities.

1. Review title information to identify issues prior to extending offers to ensure reduction in acquisition timeframes.

2. Preparation of title report curative to address county taxes due, encumbrances and lien releases needed to secure land rights.

3. Distribution of property data to project team members acting as Project Delivery Coordinator for Contracts/Agreements/Deeds.

4. Obtain information for unrecorded and recorded lease(s) to determine course of action needed.

5. Collect data in the early stages for businesses, LLC’s and identify trustees for living trust to outline documents needed.

6. Provide PTR’s and vesting deeds to survey for creation of plat and legal descriptions required to begin the acquisition process of easements or temporary easements.

At the conclusion of negotiations, an escrow will be opened, and additional title research will be conducted to confirm all information within the title report is true and correct. The escrow coordinator will perform the following activities.

7. Assist escrow with obtaining lienholder consent or release and reconveyances.

8. Assist escrow officer with identifying and clearing of title issues. 114

Town of Paradise Sewer Project
Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT

9. Assist escrow with obtaining necessary documentation in support of escrow closing

10. Coordinate closing and monetary transfers (Wired or Check)

11. Payment for all easements will be made by the Town and recorded with the county by the title company
Appraisals
Property interests required for the project will be appraised by a certified independent real estate appraiser (Appraiser), qualified to conduct appraisals in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Act and the State of California. The Appraiser shall not have an interest, direct or indirect, in the property being evaluated. An appraisal will be ordered for properties that do not meet the criteria for a Waiver Evaluation.

1. Consistent with § 24.102(b) of the Uniform Act, affected property owners will be notified in writing of the proposed acquisition areas within their property. a. Prior to the initiation of formal negotiations with property owners, proper timely notice will be provided in writing in the form of a Notice of Decision to Appraise (NDA). The NDA will either be hand delivered to the property owner or mailed via certified mail, return receipt requested, or mailed via registered mail.
b. The NDA will be written in English in plain, understandable language and will include the name and telephone number of a person who may be contacted for answers to questions or if additional assistance is needed.

2. Following the delivery of the NDA, the Right of Way Agent will contact the property owner to determine if the property owner would like to accompany the Appraiser during the site inspection of the property that is required to complete the Appraisal. The property owner will be given the opportunity to present information and material for consideration by the Appraiser that the property owner believes is relevant in determining the value of the acquisition area.

3. The Appraiser will be informed as to whether the property owner wants to be present during the Appraiser’s site inspection of the property.

4. The Appraiser will provide an appraisal that is prepared in accordance and consistent with the requirements of USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) and relevant state and local requirements. The Appraiser will be provided with the following information prior to beginning the appraisal process.
a. Property owner name, address, and phone number(s) of the property owner i. The Appraiser will contact the property owner if it has been determined that the property owner wants to be present during the inspection. ii. In the event the property owner cannot be reached, the Appraiser will contact Right of Way staff to communicate with the property owner and determine if the property owner wishes to be present.
115

Town of Paradise Sewer Project
Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT
b. Vesting deeds or title report, if available
c. Exhibits of the proposed easement area (Right of way Mapping, Plat and Legal Descriptions)
d. Sample Easement Agreement and deeds

5. At the completion of the Appraisal, an electronic copy of the final work in progress appraisal will be delivered to the Right of Way PM for QC and then forwarded to the Review Appraiser (as defined in Section VI below). Once the Review Appraiser has completed their review and has concurred with the final work in progress appraisal, only then can the Appraiser mark the appraisal Final and Complete.

Appraisal Review
A Review Appraiser (“Review Appraiser”) is an appraiser who examines the final work in progress appraisal that was prepared by the Appraiser to determine whether their conclusions are consistent with the data reports and with other generally known information about the property. The Review Appraiser will review and analyze the relevant facts assembled by the Appraiser using reason and judgment and review of supporting documentation and drawings to form an opinion or conclusion with respect to the findings contained in the Appraisal.

1. Right of Way will either designate a qualified internal staff member or will subcontract with an outside qualified appraiser to act as the Review Appraiser for the Project. The Review Appraiser will (a) be a state-certified general appraiser who has past experience and knowledge of appraisals and USPAP guidelines, (b) be familiar with the Project, appraisal reports and the real estate market for the area, and(c) not have any interest, direct or indirect, in the property being evaluated for the easement.

2. At a minimum, in the evaluation of the Appraisal, the Review Appraiser will review and examine the following.
a. Read the report in its entirety, taking notes on items which may require further evaluation b. Review the current exhibits of the subject parcel and legal description c. Review and analyze the appraised value in light of comparable sales data used in the appraisal analysis
d. Review aerial maps of the property if available
e. Check calculations in the report for accuracy
f. Evaluate appraisal principal application and techniques. g. Determine if the facts cited in the Appraisal are correct and the approaches and sales data that were used to determine value are reasonable.
h. Determine if the appraiser appropriately applied the tests of highest and best use, i. Ensure that the Appraisal follows USPAP requirements and other applicable 116
Page | 8
Town of Paradise Sewer Project
Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT
requirements, including, to the extent appropriate, the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisition (“UASFLA”)
j. Understand and ensure that any special valuation peculiarities are identified and that they are justified and reasonable
k. Ensure compliance with HDR’s policies and requirements

3. At the completion of the appraisal review, the Review Appraiser will sign a statement certifying that (a) he or she completed a thorough and detailed analysis/review of the Appraisal, (b) he or she either agrees or disagrees with the content and facts and (c) the Appraisal is in compliance with USPAP and other applicable standards. If the Review Appraiser requires corrections or revisions, they will be outlined in the Technical Review Report. Finally, the Review Appraiser will either accept the contents and comments of the Appraisal or will disapprove the Appraisal. The three possible conclusions of the Review Appraiser are as followed. a. Approval
i. Approves the Appraisal as written.
b. Disapproval
i. The Appraisal does not meet the acceptable standards for a specific reason(s) such as content, valuation or other conditions as delineated in a Technical Review Report.
c. Review Appraiser Becomes the Appraiser
i. In certain situations the Review Appraiser may provide his or her own opinion of value and this value may differ from the cited value from the Appraisal. In this approach the Review Appraiser may rely on data contained in the original Appraisal and may use other data available to him or her in the determination of value.

4. The Review Appraiser will prepare a “Technical Review Report” and document the validity and findings of the Appraisal.

5. If the Review Appraiser rejects the Appraisal, one of the following may occur. a. The Appraisal will be sent back to the original Appraiser for revisions based on the appraisal review and then resubmitted through the review process as outlined above; or b. A meeting with be held by the Appraiser and Review Appraiser to gather more facts regarding the subject parcel to formalize a joint appraisal analysis.

Appraisal Waiver Valuation
The Uniform Act provides that an appraisal is not required for parcels that meet the following criteria: (i) the acquisition has an anticipated easement acquisition cost of $10,000 or less, and (ii) for which the valuation analysis is uncomplicated. If both criteria are met, the parcel will be deemed a “Waiver Parcel” and will be eligible for a Waiver Valuation. Right of Way PM and team will review each impacted property 117
Page | 9
Town of Paradise Sewer Project
Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT
in detail to determine if any such parcels meet the criteria for a Waiver Valuation Review. The Waiver Valuation Review will be performed by a qualified team member who has sufficient understanding of real estate valuation in general, knowledge of the real estate market within the geographic areas where the Project Area ROW is located, and experience with waiver valuation under the Uniform Act. The Waiver Valuation Review process and criteria for designation of a Waiver Parcel is further described below.

1. Determination of acquisition compensation of $10,000 or less. a. The Valuation Reviewer will first determine whether any individual tax parcels within the Project Area ROW should be combined or merged into a single parcel for purposes of the Waiver Valuation Review.
b. Next, the Valuation Reviewer will review aerial imagery maps to determine if multiple tax parcels in common ownership are also in common use (i.e., being farmed as one contiguous parcel). If the Valuation Reviewer has determined that multiple tax parcels are in both common ownership and common use, then the multiple tax parcels will be combined into one parcel for the purpose of evaluating whether such parcel meets the $10,000 threshold for a Waiver Parcel.
c. Finally, the Valuation Reviewer will multiply the total acreage of the easement sought over the newly combined parcel by the county Average Fair Market Per Acre Value for the parcel’s land type to determine if the total fair market value for the easement over such parcel is $10,000 or less. If the value is $10,000 or less, then the parcel will have met the first of the two requirements to be treated as a Waiver Parcel.

2. Determination if the valuation analysis is uncomplicated. The Valuation Reviewer will consider the following criteria to determine if the valuation analysis is uncomplicated:
a. Is the acquisition of the property simple (i.e., a fee purchase vs. an easement purchase with no major impacts)?
b. What are the damages, if any, to the remainder of the property owner’s property? c. Are there any buildings, structures or improvements located in the acquisition area? If the valuation analysis is determined to be not complicated, then the parcel has met the second requirement to be treated as a Waiver Parcel.

Once the Valuation Reviewer determines that a parcel has met the two requirements for a Waiver Parcel, the Valuation Reviewer will indicate that the parcel is qualified as a Waiver Parcel and a Waiver Valuation form will be used in place of an appraisal.

Acquisition by Negotiations
HDR will prepare and submit full and complete acquisition packages for review and approval prior to property owner delivery. The acquisition package will include the first written offer (FWO) with an established “just compensation” Once approved, the determined just compensation, an offer will be presented to each property owner.
118
Page | 10
Town of Paradise Sewer Project
Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT
The negotiator will review the approved offer package with emphasis on the appraisal and contact the owner to schedule a date and time to present the offer. An appointment will also be scheduled with any non-residential tenants that have a right to compensation for improvements pertaining to the realty, fixtures and equipment, leasehold improvements and/or interest in the property to be acquired.

All offers will be made in-person when possible. Should a property owner be located out-of-state, the offer package will be sent via certified mail, return receipt requested and regular mail.

During the meeting with the property owner, the project will be presented and explained to the property owner in detail along with the impacts to their property. Title issues will be addressed along with any questions or concerns the owner may have. All documents that require a signature will be presented to the owner at this meeting. Any facts which were not recognized in the offer that become apparent during negotiations will be noted and submitted prior to continuation of negotiations.

The negotiator will negotiate in good faith and make every reasonable effort to acquire the needed rightof-way in an expeditious manner. The complexity of the acquisition will determine the negotiator’s approach on the first meeting with the property owner. Before leaving the first property owner meeting, the negotiator will provide the owner with their business card and explain the timing for future meetings and contact. The negotiator will make a good faith effort to meet with the property owner as much as required in an effort to secure an agreement without compromising the project schedule. At a minimum, the negotiator will make an attempt to have three face-to-face meetings with the property owners before determining that the acquisition of the parcel cannot be successfully negotiated.

If the owner presents a counteroffer at an amount that exceeds the fair market value, the negotiator will prepare and submit an Administrative Settlement. This settlement must be approved and each settlement will be reviewed on an individual basis.

After having made every reasonable attempt to negotiate with the property owner and the negotiator is unable to obtain all the required documents, the negotiator will prepare and submit a written copy of the Negotiator’s Report completed to date with the names and addresses of all interested parties. When necessary, the negotiator’s written report will include a recommendation for further action. The negotiator will continue efforts to settle until the actual filing date of the petition to condemn the parcel.

Projects with state or federal funds may require Right of Way Certification. HDR will provide preparation, review, and advisory services. HDR will assist in the preparation the Right of Way Certification package, if requested. The proper use of on-system and off-system certification forms must be followed. Failure to properly prepare the package and obtain the Certification can cause project delays and jeopardize funding. Typical Right of Way Certification steps are listed below:

Assemble copies of all required documents, including appraisal reports, acquisition packages, environmental documentation, permits, construction bid packages, utility relocation documents, utility sheets, layout sheets, air space agreements, cooperative agreements, and railroad construction and maintenance agreements
a. Prepare draft Right of Way Certification form for review b. Prepare final Right of Way Certification form
c. Obtain Caltrans approval signature
119
Page | 11
Town of Paradise Sewer Project
Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT
HDR has previous experience assisting clients through the condemnation process. HDR will verify and update title information, furnish addresses and confirm the names of all interested parties, and provide other information to make sure that appropriate individuals are served. HDR will assist Legal Counsel by attending legal proceedings, answering interrogatories and requests for production, and will seek Counsel’s guidance to verify proper document preparation and submission.

1. Land Agents will personally contact landowners whenever possible to discuss the Project and how it may impact their property. If any landowner cannot be contacted personally, the Land Agent will deliver the information via First Class Mail (and with respect to the Formal Notice Letter and any final Settlement Offer, via Certified Mail or registered first-class mail —return receipt requested).

2. Following delivery of the Formal Notice Letter, as described in Section II above, Land Agents will contact the landowner to provide the following information:
a. The proposed form of Easement Agreement
b. A exhibit of the easement area on the landowner’s property c. A Construction Questionnaire, which is a document designed to obtain information about the property, such as land uses, irrigation, utilities, structures, gates and fences, etc. HDR endeavors to obtain this information early in the development process so that it can be taken into consideration during construction planning.
d. A Survey Permission Form that allows HDR to perform surveys (if the landowner had not previously granted HDR survey access rights)
e. A Structure and Damages Calculation Worksheet
f. A copy of HDR’s Code of Conduct

3. The Land Agent will ask the landowner if they want to be present during any on-site inspections of the property with the Appraiser. The Land Agent will document in the Right of Way Database the requirement of either “Wishes to Accompany the Appraiser” or “Does Not Wish to be Present for Appraisal On-site Inspections”. If the landowner does not wish to be present for any on-site inspections, the Land Agent will request that the landowner sign another Survey Permission form that acknowledges that they have waived his right to accompany the Appraiser.

4. In the event the landowner wishes to be present during the Appraisal, the Appraiser will notify the landowner of the date and time of the site inspection. The Appraisal is performed on the property by a certified licensed Appraiser (refer to Section V above for more detail).

5. When the Appraisal is completed the Land Agent meets with the landowner and will present the following documents:
a. Copy of the Appraisal
b. An Easement Calculation Worksheet, which provides (a) a description and location of the easement on the property, (b) the Settlement Offer, and (c) how the Settlement Offer was calculated based on the Appraisal. The form of Easement Calculation Worksheet for 120

Town of Paradise Sewer Project
Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT
Appraisal parcels is attached hereto as Exhibit F.

6. When meeting with a landowner, Land Agent will make every reasonable effort to: (a)discuss the Settlement Offer, including explanations as to the basis for the Settlement Offer of just compensation, (b) explain the Project, (c) explain HDR’s policies and procedures (including payment of incidental expenses when applicable) and (d) generally be available to answer any questions or concerns expressed by the landowner. The landowner will be given reasonable opportunity to consider the Settlement Offer and present material which the landowner believes relevant to determining the value of the easement property and to suggest modifications in the proposed terms and conditions of the easement. Land Agents and HDR will give full and fair consideration to landowner’s comments and suggestions. Land Agents will not use coercive action to induce an agreement on price or terms.

Town of Paradise Sewer Project
Right of Way Acquisition Management Plan DRAFT
Mediation/Condemnation Process
If negotiations are not successful and the acquisition agent determines that an administrative settlement is not feasible or project timing requires use of the eminent domain process, the right of way PM will submit a recommendation to the Town of Paradise manager or legal representative to initiate proceedings.

Town of Paradise will be responsible for retaining counsel. The right of way PM will work with counsel in preparing the eminent domain complaint and in trial preparation as requested. Right of Way team members and legal staff will continue settlement negotiations, but if they are unsuccessful, an eminent domain action will be filed in Superior Court. Settlement negotiations by legal staff will continue until the trial begins, including alternative dispute resolution and negotiations for Stipulated Use and Possession to assure access to the property consistent with project schedules.

Following trial or settlement, the court will issue a final order transferring title to the property and recording the transfer in the public record.

The acquisition program allows for six to nine months from the filing of a Petition in Eminent Domain to an Order of Use and Possession. However, the actual time frame is dependent on how quickly a court hearing on Public Use and Necessity can be scheduled, or upon negotiations for stipulated orders of Public Use and Necessity.

If any interest in real property is to be acquired by exercise of the power of eminent domain, Town shall institute formal proceedings. Town will not intentionally make it necessary for an owner to institute legal proceeding to prove the fact of the acquisition of their real property.

Inadvertent action or delay in beginning a project may result in an owner perception that an acquisition has effectively occurred even without a physical taking of the property. The Town and right of way will actively prevent this perception by proper project planning and communicating with property owners.

Relocation
At this time Right of Way does not anticipate that any residences or persons will be relocated as a result of the Project. In the event circumstances change and relocation is required Right of Way PM will draft policies and procedures that follow the Uniform Act for this process. 122

Town of Paradise
Council Agenda Summary
Date: April 9, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(e)
ORIGINATED BY: Colin Nelson, Capital Projects Manager
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Paradise Sewer Project Environmental Mitigation Credits Purchase

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

Yes, Tier 1
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider concurring with staff recommendation to bestow to the Town Manager authority to purchase Environmental Mitigation Credits, up to the budgeted amount of $2.4M to offset the impacts of the Paradise Sewer Project, utilizing secured CDBG-DR Infrastructure Planning Funds; and, 2. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-__, A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Paradise Designating Authority to the Town Manager to Approve the Purchase of Environmental Mitigation Credits. (ROLL CALL VOTE) Background:

Since its incorporation in 1979, the Town has sought a formal wastewater treatment solution for the community, with service for commercial and densely populated residential areas being a priority. Failed and failing septic systems create public health and environmental concerns and have limited economic growth. Prior to the Camp Fire, which destroyed the town in 2018, Paradise was the largest unsewered community in California. The Town has prepared numerous studies to address its need for a centralized wastewater treatment solution, and in its most recent study, the Town identified a proposed sewer service area. The proposed sewer service area includes the Town’s commercial corridors, and as described in the 2017 feasibility study, it represented the area that had the most septic systems that had failed or were projected to fail by 2022.

The Town of Paradise has secured $30 million for design and $15 Million for construction through Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds to facilitate the design phase of the Paradise Sewer Project.
124
Analysis:

During the environmental phase of the Paradise Sewer Project, environmentally protected vernal pools were located along the alignment of the proposed export pipeline between Paradise and Chico. The Vernal Pools are fed by surface water and hold water for a period of time and then dry up as the weather warms. These wet areas are host to a variety of protected plants and species and their habitat will unavoidably be disrupted by our construction activities. Some of these species have very specific habitats that can only be mitigated by purchasing credits through Mitigation Banks. These mitigation banks work to create additional habitat for these creatures in other locations.

Staff and consultant teams are in the process of optimizing the alignment of the export pipeline in an effort to avoid environmental impacts wherever possible. At present it is estimated that a total of approximately 15 Acres may be impacted along the 18-mile export pipeline.

A more complete listing of impacts will be presented in a Biological Opinion document that will be reviewed and approved by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Staff and consultant teams are recommending purchasing a minimum of environmental mitigation bank credits using CDBG-DR grant totaling $2.4M. The timing of this is purchase is critical due to the following considerations:
1) The species impacted exist in very limited habitat and there are only a few mitigation banks that have available credits to purchase.
2) If we prepay for 5 acres of impacts, we can lock in a lower price per acre that will apply to the rest of the credits we purchase if we need more at a later date.

Financial Impact:

The cost to purchase Environmental Mitigation Credits is covered in the Town’s CDBG-DR grant for the Paradise Sewer Project. The cost of mitigation credits are estimated at $2.4M. 125

Agenda Item: 6(f)
ORIGINATED BY: Marc Mattox, Public Works Director
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
Scott E. Huber, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Introduce Ordinance Amending Town Code, Chapter 2, Article V, Section 2.45.105 Concerning Informal Bid
Procedures on Public Works Projects

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

Yes, Tiers 1-3, Numerous
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider waiving the second reading of the Town of Paradise Ordinance No. 634 and read by title only; and,

2. Adopt Town Ordinance No. 634 “An Ordinance Adding Section 2.45.105 to the Paradise Municipal Code Relating to an Informal Bid Process for Public Works Projects of $200,000 or Less.”
Background:

The Town of Paradise is currently subject to the provisions of Sections 20160-20175 of the Public Contract Code which governs how and when contracts for a public project by a local agency are to be advertised, bid and awarded. The Town of Paradise can elect to have more restrictive provisions, but not any less restrictive than what is in the state law. One of the restrictions in the State Code under which the Town of Paradise must currently operate is the requirement that all public projects with a value of $5,000 or more must be publicly bid. This restriction has the effect, on certain projects, of keeping the Town of Paradise from utilizing its contractor’s forces, or less expensive temporary hires, to optimum efficiency as well as necessitating the use of procedures for smaller projects that are out of proportion to the value of the work being contracted.

The Public Contract Code provides a method to both raise the ceiling on the value of work that the Town of Paradise can perform with its own forces to $60,000 as well as simplifying the procedures for bidding contracts of $200,000 or less in value. In order to be able to use this method, the Town of Paradise is required to adopt an accounting procedure that would be applicable to all public projects. This procedure is called the UCCAP and the corresponding resolution for adoption is attached.

An Ordinance that outlines the agency’s informal bidding procedure needs to be adopted before the agency can informally bid any work that has a value of no more than $200,000. Attached is a draft Ordinance as recommended by the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Commission. After the informal bidding procedure Ordinance is adopted, the Town would establish its own list of qualified contractors and contractor clearinghouses that would receive notices of informal bid solicitations.
128
Analysis:

By voluntarily subjecting the Town of Paradise to the provisions of the Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Act would open up options relative to either performing, bidding or negotiating public project work that would ultimately lead to more cost-effective use of public funds. The staff, therefore, recommends that the Town of Paradise adopt a Resolution of intention to become subject to the provisions of the Act and introduce the Ordinance to implement the policies and procedures.

On March 12, 2024, Paradise Town Council introduced the ordinance and unanimously approved.

An inadvertent typo was included in the first reading of the ordinance, with one reference to the $200,000 informal bid maximum threshold as $175,000. Due to the minor nature of the typo, and numerous correct references to the correct $200,000 threshold, staff has placed this item under the consideration portion of the Agenda (in lieu of consent calendar as unanimously approved).

The typo has been corrected and final version is included for adoption.

Financial Impact:

No direct fiscal impact from approving this ordinance.

No notice inviting informal bids is required to be sent to a contractor that does not provide the necessary product or service, such as a proprietary product.

2.45.105.060 Award of contracts.

A. The Town Manager or his/her designee(s) is authorized to award informal contracts under this chapter in accordance with Town council policy.

B. If all bids received on a public project under this procedure set forth in this section are in excess of $200,000, the Town council may award the contract at $212,500 or less to the lowest responsible bidder if the council determines by adopting a resolution by at least four-fifths vote that the Town’s original cost estimate was reasonable.

2.45.105.070 Alternate bidding procedure.

The procedure set forth in this chapter is an alternate to the procedure set forth in Public Contract Code Sections 20160 through 20174.

SUBJECT: Paradise Community Park Recovery Rental Incentive Amending Administrative Policy No. 520

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider directing staff to suspend the rental fees for Paradise Community Park for non-profit organizations for a period of five years; and

The top priority of the Town of Paradise is rebuilding a thriving community. Most projects undertaken by the Town look to rebuild and support the building of the physical infrastructure of the community, however the fabric of the community, the things that make Paradise home for so many, also needs to be rebuilt and supported.

Since 2007, the Paradise Community Park has served as a vibrant hub that enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors, fostering a sense of belonging and pride in the community.

Paradise Community Park is the only Town-owned park and consists of the depot museum operated by the Gold Nugget Museum, the gazebo area, a playground, and daffodil garden.

Many community organizations utilize the park for long-historied community events as well as new events that bring the community closer together. The Town has in the past made arrangements with some organizations to reduce fees for events, however this practice has not been formalized or standardized.

Analysis:

As a gathering place, Paradise Community Park serves as the backdrop for many activities and events that make up the social fabric of our community. In order to support the rebuilding of that social fabric, Town staff have looked for ways to make it easier for our community to come together.

In an effort to support and incentivize community events, as well as to standardize the incentive for all, town staff propose a fee waiver for the use of Paradise Community Park for non-profit 132
groups for a period of five years. The last five years of recovery have been focused on physically rebuilding, and in the next five years the Town can support community building as well in this way.

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends amending the current Admin policy regarding the park to waive the fee for nonprofit organizations to utilize Paradise Community Park. This fee waiver would remain in place for the next five years, from April 9, 2024, to April 9, 2029. All requirements currently stated in the park rental application, such as insurance requirements, would remain in place, only the fee would be waived.

Financial Impact:

The Town of Paradise will not receive the park rental fees for the next five years. A small cost is associated with Town staff turning on electricity at the park for certain events, however this cost is nominal.

SUBJECT: Paradise Community Park Daffodil Garden Dedication

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider dedicating the Daffodil Garden at Paradise Community Park in honor of Paradise resident, Ward Habriel. (ROLL CALL VOTE)
Background:

In November 2023, the Town commemorated the five yar anniversary of the devastating 2018 Camp Fire, which severely impacted the Town of Paradise and its residents. Part of the commemoration included the community coming together to plant a daffodil garden at Paradise Community Park. As of this meeting, the 2,500 daffodil bulbs that were planted are blooming in a stunning display of resilience and hope for the community.

The daffodil was made the Town’s official flower by Council action in November 2019. The daffodil symbolizes resilience and hope, as one of the first flowers of spring, rising through cold hard ground to bloom while the weather can be turbulent.

Paradise resident Ward Habriel, a member of the Butte County Fire Safe Council, Paradise Garden Club, and dutiful attendee of Paradise Town Council meetings, has long been an ambassador for “Daffodils Across the Ridge”. An undertaking of the Paradise Garden Club, “Daffodils Across the Ridge” pre-existed the Camp Fire and was an effort to beautify Paradise each spring as thousands of daffodils bloomed across the community. This program was no more loudly championed than by Mr. Habriel who devotedly sought funding and volunteers to further this effort.

Analysis:

The Town of Paradise intends to install signage at the Paradise Community Park Daffodil Garden later this year to signify its significance as a commemoration of the Camp Fire five years later. It is staff’s recommendation to dedicate the daffodil garden to Ward Habriel and include this dedication on the sign when it is installed to honor his work in our community which not only made it more beautiful but made it more resilient and hopeful as his daffodils bloom for years to come.

Financial Impact:

Installation of the sign will have a nominal cost. The inclusion of the dedication will not significantly add to the cost.

REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Supplemental System Additions to Enhance the Town of Paradise Early Warning System

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

Yes
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider concurring with staff recommendation to move forward with implementation of the Safe Network system addition to the Early Warning System if authorized by FEMA. Provide guidance on plan moving forward if FEMA denies request for system addition. (ROLL CALL VOTE)
Background:

The Town of Paradise, CalOES, FEMA and HQE (Project Contractor) have been working in partnership to complete the Early Warning Sirens, an essential project for recovery. We have been testing the system monthly and gathering community feedback and Town Council Input.

Throughout that process, it has been determined that improved new home construction methods and the topography of the Town, could, in some scenarios, limit the ability for residents to hear the EWS towers at levels that they believe will safely alert them in an actual emergency.

Analysis:

After discussion at the January 2024 Council meeting, staff obtained information on supplementing the EWS with a component that will allow for optional units that could be placed in homes. These devices would receive the EWS tower signal and amplify it to the residents. The in-home receivers require no professional installation and simply plug into a standard wall outlet by a homeowner.

We believe this component addition will enhance the goals of the project and provide additional ways for vulnerable members in our community to receive information through the warning system. The tower components could be added this spring as the project work completes and we would begin public outreach for the plugin-safe units. We would anticipate beginning to provide those to the community this summer. The first 250 units would arrive as the system becomes fully operational within 90 days. We would then receive 250 units approximately every 6 weeks until the full allotment of 1000 purchased units were delivered. This would allow us to efficiently deliver units to residents as desired.
138
Town staff has submitted this request to FEMA as a scope of work change and we are awaiting confirmation that this would be approved under our existing HMGP grant funding.

This supplement to the EWS System would increase the effectiveness of the emergency warning system as well as provide a solution to how the system can effectively warn the hearing impaired.

We would anticipate that providing 900 standard units and 100 ADA-compatible units would be sufficient to supplement the system effectively. If demand for in-home units exceeds availability the Town would develop a priority list based on disability, income, age, location or other relevant and necessary criteria. In the future, residents would be able to purchase additional units directly through a link on the TOP website.

Upon approval of the scope modification, we would move forward with the installation of the components needed for the Safe Network:

SAFE Network Mesh Communications Gateways: The unit connects to the existing early warning system to provide a redundant communications channel (SAFE Network) that will communicate to all SAFE-certified units (indoor and outdoor units) Specifications:
• Secure SAFE Mesh Network Communications Antenna
• Integrated into the existing Early Warning Sirens
• Real-time status reporting
• Quantity 2: Located at the Central Control Stations (Town Hall & Police/Fire Dispatch) • Quantity 21: Located at the Siren Tower Control Cabinets SAFE Network Mesh Communications Signal Repeaters: Provides coverage into the low / no signal zones due to terrain and environment challenges Specifications:
• Secure SAFE Mesh Network Communications Antenna
• Quantity 5 - Integrated into the installed SAFE Network Zone to provide signal boosting in potentially reduced signal zones
• Real-time status reporting
SAFE Unit (Unified Networked Indoor Transmitter): One-way signal receiver to provide loud audible alerts inside of any indoor space. Specifications:
• Built-in alert speaker
• Built-in SAFE Mesh Network Antenna
• SAFE Mesh Network linked device
• Plugs into standard A/C outlet indoors
• A/C Powered with 24 hours of battery backup
• Standard limited warranty
• Quantity 900
139
SAFE Unit Pro (Unified Networked Indoor Transmitter) - For Access & Functional Network (AFN) Pro unit provides additional features such as 2-way communications, location services, connects smart devices to allow the use of the SAFE Network Mobile Applications Specifications:
• Built-in 5" ADA-compliant display
• Location tracking capable while in the SAFE Network Zone • Built-in alert speaker
• Built-in SAFE Mesh Network Antenna
• Built-in Wifi module for connecting smart devices
• Built-in Bluetooth module for connecting smart devices • Access to the SAFE Network Mobile Application (that connects to the SAFE UNIT Pro to allow for 2-ways communications)
• SAFE Mesh Network linked device
• Plugs into standard A/C outlet indoors
• A/C Powered with 24 hours of battery backup
• Standard limited warranty
• Quantity 100
Financial Impact:

The total cost for this supplemental project is $378,807.91, however this amount would be covered within the existing FEMA HMGP grant, if the pending scope change is approved by FEMA. We would anticipate that even with the addition of this system, the project would still closeout under the original budgeted amount. Depending upon the timeline of the pending FEMA approval, the addition of this system could result in the necessity of a contract extension with HQE to complete this addition. (Currently scheduled for June 2024) The overall installation budget for the project remains at $2,677,500. We project that with the inclusion of this additional component, the installation budget will still come in under $2,600,000 and the total budget will still come in under the original $3,026,000 budgeted. 140

Council Agenda Summary
Date: April 9, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(j)
ORIGINATED BY: Colette Curtis, Recovery and Economic
Development Director
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Community Healthcare Needs Assessment

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider allocating up to $75,000 towards a Community Healthcare Needs Assessment; and,

2. Direct staff to issue a Request for Proposals for the drafting of the Community Healthcare Needs Assessment.

Background:

After the 2018 Camp Fire, Adventist Health Feather River closed their hospital campus on Pentz Rd, and to date has not re-established that service. In the five years since the fire, many healthcare services have been re-established, however there continue to be gaps as well as difficulties accessing service in Paradise.

The Town of Paradise Healthcare Committee, made up of two Councilmembers (Mayor Lassonde, and Councilmember Crowder) as well as staff have been working closely with Adventist Health, as well as talking with other healthcare providers about the current healthcare needs and gaps Paradise is experiencing. The lack of hard data on this topic has made these conversations difficult, with many questions left unanswered regarding healthcare standards by population, actual gaps vs perceived gaps, and projections for the future.

Analysis:

The Healthcare Committee made a request of the Feather River Health Foundation to fund a Community Healthcare Needs Assessment to obtain the data necessary to create a strategic plan for the future of healthcare in Paradise. The Foundation approved the request for half of the cost of the study (expected to be around $150,000) up to $75,000. This approval is conditional upon the partnership with Paradise Town Council to fund the study, and to work together on a strategic plan after the Community Healthcare Needs Assessment is complete.

The draft scope of work for the assessment follows this staff report.

Financial Impact:

Half the cost of the study, up to $75,000, would be funded from the general fund and included in the FY 24/25 budget.

Scope of Work:

Community Healthcare Needs Assessment for the Town of Paradise This Scope of Work outlines the comprehensive approach for conducting a Community Healthcare Needs Assessment for the Town of Paradise, with a focus on data assessment, community input, and implementation strategy to address identified priorities and improve healthcare outcomes for the community.

1. Data Assessment:
 Definition of Service Area: Clearly define the geographical boundaries of the Town of Paradise service area, including Magalia if applicable, to ensure accurate data collection and analysis.
 Local Studies: Compile and review existing local studies related to healthcare needs, public health indicators, demographic trends, and social determinants of health within the community.
 Community Healthcare Inventory: Assess the current healthcare resources available within the town and Butte County region, including healthcare facilities, providers, programs, and services.
 Population Projections: Utilize demographic data and trends to project the population of the Town of Paradise service area for the next 5, 10, and 20 years.  Comparison to Other Communities: Compare healthcare indicators and resources in the Town of Paradise to similar communities with populations of 10,000, 15,000, and 25,000 people to identify relative strengths and weaknesses.

2. Community Input:
 Gaps in Services: Solicit input from community members, stakeholders, and healthcare providers to identify gaps or deficiencies in healthcare services and infrastructure.  Public Health Needs: Gather information on prevalent public health issues, disease burdens, and emerging health concerns affecting the community.  Underserved Populations: Identify demographic groups or geographic areas within the town that are underserved or face barriers in accessing healthcare services.

3. Implementation Strategy:
 Summary of Data Assessment and Community Input: Summarize findings from the data assessment and community input to provide a comprehensive overview of the healthcare needs and priorities in the Town of Paradise.  Priorities Identified: Prioritize healthcare needs and gaps based on severity, impact, and feasibility of intervention.
 Implementation Strategy for Each Priority: Develop specific strategies and action plans to address identified priorities, including resource allocation, collaboration with stakeholders, and timelines for implementation.
143
 Anything Not Included and Why: Provide rationale for any healthcare needs or issues that were not addressed in the assessment, considering factors such as data availability, scope limitations, or relevance to the overall goals of the assessment.

Deliverables:
 Comprehensive report summarizing the findings of the community healthcare needs assessment.
 Presentation of key findings and recommendations to stakeholders and community members.
 Action plan outlining the implementation strategy for addressing identified priorities.  Documentation of data sources, methodologies, and assumptions used in the assessment process.

Timeline
 Data collection and analysis: 2 months*
 Community engagement and input: 2 months*
 Prioritization and strategy development: 2 months
 Report writing and finalization: 2 months
*Data collection and community engagement may happen concurrently or overlap Budget:
 The budget for this project will cover personnel, data collection tools, community engagement activities, analysis software, and any other resources necessary to complete the assessment and develop the implementation strategy.

Approval Process:
