City Council Agenda October 3, 2023
Council Agenda Report
From: Ditas Esperanza, Capital Projects Engineer
Subject: Approval of the Award of Construction Contract to Granite Construction for the Creston Road Corridor Improvements Phase 1 from South River Road to Orchard Drive CEQA Determination: On July 25, 2018, the Community Development Department adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project and found that the Project would not have a significant effect on the environment after mitigation consistent with City’s adopted Local CEQA Guidelines.

Date: October 3, 2023
Facts

1. In June 2016, the City received a Sustainable Community Grant from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Grant funds were designated to be used to initiate and pay the costs to conduct a robust community wide visioning process for the ultimate improvements along the Creston Road Corridor from South River Road to Niblick Road.

2. In May 2017, the City hosted multi-day community workshops and meetings to solicit ideas and help establish a vision for the future of Creston Road. City staff and the consultant team reviewed the existing opportunities and constraints along the corridor while translating the community’s input into a proposed design alternative to improve the corridor.

3. At the February 6, 2018 City Council meeting, the Council adopted the Preferred Alternative for Creston Road Corridor.

4. Staff applied for an Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant twice for this project and has not been successful either time. Since funding for construction of the entire corridor was not successful, City Council directed staff to provide a phased approach for completion: Phase 1, from South River Road to Orchard; and Phase 2, from Orchard to Niblick Road.

5. Phase 1 plans were completed and advertised for bids on May 3, 2023. At the bid opening on June 22, 2023 no bids were received. City staff contacted several contractors in the area to find out why a bid was not submitted. Their responses were all similar in that they were at maximum capacity and could not bid on any new projects. They recommended readvertising and awarding a contract in late 2023, with the caveat that a Notice to Proceed would be issued in early 2024.

6. On July 12, 2023, the bid was advertised for a second time. The bid documents included a timeline for construction to begin in early 2024.

7. At the bid opening on August 3, 2023, four bids were received as follows:

Company Bid Amount
Granite Construction $8,448,751.00
CalPortland Construction 9,316,789.25
Raminha Construction 9,821,786.00
Papich Construction 11,577,090.00

Page 138 of 284 ends

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023

8. Granite Construction had the lowest responsive and responsible bid. The City engaged the services of North Coast Engineering (NCE) to prepare the plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E), for Creston Road Phase 1. NCE’s continued services are required as the project moves to the construction phase. They will provide construction management services which will include construction staking, compaction testing, materials control, observe and monitor day to day activities during all phases of construction, respond to and track questions from the contractor to clarify design details, and review and monitor quantities of items installed for payment. North Coast Engineering’s fee to perform the above tasks is $860,000.

Options

1. Take no action;

2. Approve the resolution to award construction contract to Granite Construction, in the amount of $8,448,751.00, construction management services to North Coast Engineering, in the amount of $860,000, and appropriate $2.4 million from Measure E-12 reserves (described below); or

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
Staff reviewed the low bid submitted by Granite Construction and found it to be a responsive and responsible bid.

Fiscal Impact
The total cost of the construction contract to Granite Construction is $8,448,751; the total cost of construction management to North Coast Engineering is $860,000; for a total cost of approximately $9.3 million. This project has been included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program for several years and currently has an available budget of $8,041,500 (funded with several sources including Measures E-12 and J-20, Gas Tax Funds and SB 1 Funds). As a result, there is a budget shortfall of approximately $2.4 million, as follows:

Budget Item Amount
Granite Construction $ 8,448,751
North Coast Engineering 860,000
PG&E and Streetlights 200,000
10% Contingency 950,000
Total Updated Project Costs 10,458,751
Current Budget 8,041,500
Supplement Budget Request $ 2,417,251
The Engineer’s Estimate for this project was $6.4 million, approximately $2 million less than the bids received. Contract awards exceeding the Engineer’s Estimate was anticipated, in part, because the City did not receive any bids the first time the project was advertised, and only four bids were received at the second advertisement. Regardless, the City completed several street maintenance projects this past year under-budget such as Dry Creek Road, west-side slurry seal, Rambouillet/Nicklaus-area, and Country Club Drive. As a result, there is approximately $3.0 million in Measure E-12 unappropriated reserves that can be used to complete this project.

CEQA
CEQA Determination: On July 25, 2018, the Community Development Department adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project and found that the Project would not have a significant effect on the

Page 139 of 284 ends

environment after mitigation consistent with City’s adopted Local CEQA Guidelines and, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162, no substantial changes are proposed to the project, nor have there been substantial changes in circumstances, that would require major revisions of the MND, and no new information of substantial importance has become available.

Recommendation (Option 2)
Approve Resolution 23-XXX, authorizing the City Manager to award the construction contract to Granite Construction for the Creston Road Corridor Phase 1 project, in the amount of $8,448,751; the construction management services to North Coast Engineering, in the amount of $860,000; and to appropriate $2.4 million from Measure E-12 reserves.

Council Agenda Report
From: David LaCaro, Public Works Operations Manager
Subject: Approval of Award of Contract to AAAA Engineering Contracting, Inc. for the Paso Robles Drainage Improvement Project
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is categorically exempt under the Class 1 exemption, State CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, §§ 15302.

Date: October 3, 2023
Facts

1. The City has been regulated by the Statewide General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (Stormwater General Permit) since 2005. Pursuant to this Section of the General Permit, City staff conducts annual maintenance activities on high maintenance drainages within City limits. Staff identified six locations that require repairs. These repairs and improvements are a direct result of significant and unexpected stormwater events as well as repairs to improve drainage functionality as well as protect roadways and public infrastructure.

2. On October 12, 2022, the City contracted with Diversified Project Services International, Inc. (DPSI) to develop and provide 100% construction plans, technical specifications, and engineering estimates for the six identified locations – Montebello Oaks Basin, Navajo Avenue Basin, Sleepy Hollow Outlet, Lubrizol Site (Satellite Drainage), North River Road Slope, and Union Road Drainage.

3. Lubrizol is the only location that requires environmental permitting through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the Army Corps of Engineers. Environmental permitting may take some time to obtain; therefore, staff will be focusing on the remaining five locations during this fiscal year.

4. In 2018, City staff pursued emergency recovery funding through FEMA for damages related to the unexpected summer storm event in July 2015, which yielded 3-inches of rain over an 8-hour period.

Staff were successful in recovering dedicated funds to assist in engineered designs and repairs associated with Montebello Oaks Drive Basin and Sleepy Hollow Road Outlet. In addition, The City budgeted funds from the General Fund for drainage improvements during the FY 2022-23 2-year budget cycle approval.

5. Staff advertised a Notice Inviting Bids on August 14, 2023. At the bid opening on September 14, 2023, two bid were received:

Contractor Name Bid Amount
AAAA Engineering Contracting, Inc. $488,954.05
Hartzel General Engineering Contractor, Inc. $632,379.75

Page 143 of 284 ends

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023
Options

1. Take no action;

2. Award a contract for the Paso Robles Drainage Improvement Project in the amount of $488,954.05, the lowest responsive bid, to AAAA Engineering Contracting, Inc.; or

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
The City is required to conduct annual maintenance activities on drainages within City limits pursuant to the Stormwater General Permit. As a result, staff has compiled a list of locations that require repairs and improvements beyond routine maintenance. These locations include Montebello Oaks Basin, Navajo Avenue Basin, Sleepy Hollow Outlet, Lubrizol Site (Satellite Drainage), North River Road Slope, and Union Road Drainage. These drainage locations have sustained damage over time due to the significant storm events leading to significant scouring and erosion.

The following problems were identified at each location that require engineered design repairs. The design repairs are vital in recovering each location’s original function, eliminating continued damage to public and private property, as well as reducing further erosion and sediment to adjacent roadways.

Drainage Feature Problem Fix
Montebello Oaks Drive
Basin
Significant erosion and scouring at the
basin outlet. The erosion discharges a
significant amount of sediment to North
River Road.

Recontour the point of discharge,
install rock slope protection,
fabricate a new headwall, and
install a new pipe outlet to
minimize water velocity and
eliminate further scouring.

Navajo Avenue Basin Significant erosion to the basin outlet and damage to the fence footings.

Continued scouring and erosion has the
potential to damage adjacent private
property.

Recontour basin, install new inlet
and piping structure. Provide
erosion control at the outlet, fix
and paint the metal slated fence.

Fixes will allow water to infiltrate
in the basin and will reduce water
velocity.

Sleepy Hollow Road
Outlet
Significant erosion, upcutting at the pipe
outlet, and continued bank
destabilization.

Remove tree to install new piping
and outlet infrastructure. Fixes
will eliminate further erosion and
upslope scouring.

North River Road Slope Hillside erosion leading to sediment discharge to North River Road.

Install new drainage system as
well as recontour and vegetate
the slope to reduce further
hillside erosion and sediment
deposition on North River Road.

Union Road Drainage Significant scouring leading to
downstream sedimentation and bank
destabilization with a potential damage
the adjacent sidewalk.

Recontour roadside drainage, fix
drainage bank integrity, install
series of check dam structures to
reduce water velocity and reduce
further erosion and damage to
the public drainage facility.

Page 144 of 284 ends

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023
Engineered repairs will involve a mix of construction repairs, such as installation of new pipes, widening drainage banks, installing check dam structures, installing rock slope protection, as well as other methods for repair. In addition, repairs to these locations will greatly minimize staff time spent on sediment cleanup, protect public infrastructure (sidewalks and roadways), and provide an aesthetic value to the benefit of the community.

Staff reviewed the bid submitted by AAAA Engineering Contracting, Inc. and found it to be a lowest, responsive bid submitted by a responsible bidder.

Fiscal Impact
The total cost to complete the Paso Robles Drainage Improvement Project is $488,954.05. Sufficient funding for the drainage improvements included in the adopted FY 2022-23 2-year budget cycle and no further actions are needed.

CEQA
The City finds that this action is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under the Class 1 exemption, which applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features where the project involves negligible or no expansion of existing or former use (State CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, § 15302), and that none of the exceptions to the Class 1 exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply.

Recommendation (Option 2)
Approve Resolution 23-XXX, awarding a contract for the Paso Robles Drainage Improvement Project to AAAA Engineering Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $488,954.05 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract subject to any minor, technical or non-substantive changes as approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

Council Agenda Report
From: Lori Wilson, Assistant Planner
Katie Banister, Associate Planner
Subject: Approval of an Update to the City’s ISA Certified Arborist List CEQA Determination: The City finds this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section § 15378.

Date: October 3, 2023
Facts

1. Sections 10.01.020 and 10.01.040 of the City Municipal code requires that a person who provides services as an arborist in the City must be certified by the Western Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and must be on a list of certified arborists approved by the City Council.

2. The purpose of the pre-approved arborist consultant list is to ensure that only ISA-certified arborists are used by applicants in addressing oak tree concerns.

3. Four certified arborists have requested their names be added to the City’s list to do work within the City boundaries (see Attachments 1-4).

4. Each applicant has returned a signed statement acknowledging he understands the conditions under which the City will accept him for approval on the List of City-Certified Arborists.

5. Staff has confirmed each arborist is listed as an ISA Certified Arborist on the ISA’s website, which qualifies them to provide consulting services and to prepare arborist reports for the City pursuant to Chapter

10.01 requirements.

6. The City’s list of arborists currently includes a number of arborists who no longer work in San Luis Obispo County or are no longer certified by the ISA, and who may accordingly be removed from the City’s current list.

Options

1. Take no action;

2. Add four ISA Certified Arborists to the City’s list, and remove currently listed arborists who no longer work in the area or are no longer certified by the ISA; or

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
The Oak Tree Protection Ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 10.01) requires an arborist consulting in the City to be certified by the ISA as qualified to determine whether an oak tree is diseased, and able to make recommendations regarding pruning, cutting, and preservation measures. The City has received applications from four certified arborists requesting addition of their names to the City’s list of qualified arborists. Each of the following individuals has acknowledged the Oak Tree Protection Ordinance and Oak Tree Evaluation Criteria and has prepared a statement that he agrees to conform to the City’s criteria for evaluation reports:

4. Dan Ponti, ISA Certified Arborist No. WE-14152A
In addition, City staff has identified several arborists on the City’s list who no longer work in the County or are no longer listed on the ISA website as a certified arborist. As such, staff is recommending these names be removed from the City’s list.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City related to adding an arborist to the list, however, ensuring that qualified professionals are evaluating oak trees within the City helps protect them, and provides financial and aesthetic value to individual properties and to the City as a whole.

Recommendation (Option 2)
Approve Resolution 23-XXX, authorizing the update to the Paso Robles ISA Certified Arborists list as presented in Exhibit A to the attached Resolution.

Re: Certified Arborist – Request to Add David Magney, Certified Arborist #WE-7674A Dear Warren:

David Magney is best in class as an arborist and certified consulting botanist in California. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Magney for over 30 years, now a principal scientist with our company.

David takes his roll as a certified arborist very seriously, applying best arboriculture analysis to his tree evaluations. He writes well, and communicates clearly in his reports, and demonstrates excellent verbal communication skills in a wide variety of settings.

We are happy to offer arboriculture services of David Magney to the City of El Paso de Robles.

Sincerely,
LynneDee Althouse

Re: Arborist Certification Statement
Dear Kim,
I have worked in and been a part of Tree Industry my entire life. My great grandfather, both grandfathers, and father are all certified arborists and owned and operated their own tree services. After growing up working for my family, I started 4th Generation Tree in 2017 and was the youngest certified arborist in the United States at the time. I have owned and operated my business for 7-years and have provided countless clients arborist consulting services throughout San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Monterey Counties.
4th Generation Tree is a full-service vegetation management firm that can handle arborist consulting services with two full-time ISA Certified Arborists, tree trimming, tree removals, stump removals, weed abatement, brush clearing, and all other vegetation management services. I look forward to serving the City of Paso Robles in any way I can help.

Sincerely,
Morgan Scovell

Council Agenda Report
From: Darren Nash, City Planner
Subject: Approval of OTR 23-07/P23-0034 - Request to Remove a 40-inch Blue Oak Tree CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Date: October 3, 2023
Facts

1. An oak tree removal request has been applied for by Mr. Angel Cabrera, owner of the property, to remove a tree located at 1517 Olive Street (See Vicinity Map, Attachment 1).

2. The tree requested for removal is a 40-inch diameter Blue Oak tree (Quercus Douglassi) and has had multiple past limb failures that have damaged the house.

3. Mr. Cabrera has provided a letter to the City Council which provides the background for his request to remove the oak tree from his property.

4. Mr. Cabrera hired Steve Alvarez, Certified Arborist of A&T Arborists, to evaluate the oak tree condition. Mr. Alvarez prepared an ISA Basic Tree Risk Assessment Form which concludes that the tree is an extreme risk of failing and has residual risk of additional limbs falling that could cause additional damage the house, neighboring residences, and utility lines (see Exhibit 2, Attachment 2).

5. With the passing of Mr. Alvarez, Arborist Morgan Scovell of 4th Generation Tree is now working with Mr. Cabrera and is familiar with this tree.

6. The City’s Oak Tree Ordinance (PRMC 10.01.030) requires replacement of 25% of the total DBH of the oaks being removed, which is equivalent in this case to 10 inches, or 7 1.5-inch diameter replacement trees. The applicant is requesting that the City Council require the planting of one replacement tree, due to the lot not being suitable for the planting of more oak trees and since the decline of the tree is not the fault of the homeowner.

7. In accordance with PRMC 10.10.030(E) which provides that arrangements can be made to locate a replacement tree on public property instead, staff recommends the Council allow the mitigation requirement to be satisfied with the option to pay an in-lieu fee, with the full amount to go toward the City’s planting one 1.5-inch diameter Blue Oak tree.

8. The Community Development Director could not make the determination that the tree is “clearly dead or diseased beyond correction,” and therefore, Section 10.01.050.D of the Oak Tree Ordinance would consider the tree “healthy” and require that the City Council make the determination of whether the tree should be removed or not, after consideration of the factors listed in Section

10.01.050.D. Based on the Arborists’ recommendation and the factors listed in Section 10.01.050.D, the Community Development Director concurs with the removal request.

Options

1. Approve OTR 23-07, authorizing the removal of the 41-inch diameter tree and recommending payment of an in-lieu fee so that a replacement tree be planted in public area by the City;

Page 198 of 284 ends

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023

2. Deny OTR 23-07 with findings and require the oak tree to remain and be protected;

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
Paso Robles Municipal Code Section 10.01.050.E requires the City Council to consider the following factors when reviewing the removal of a healthy oak tree. These factors along with staff’s analysis of each factor are listed below:

1. The condition of the oak tree with respect to its general health, status as a public nuisance, danger of falling, proximity to existing or proposed structures, interference with utility services, and its status as host for a plant, pest or disease endangering other species of trees or plants with infection or infestation.

Based on the Hazard Evaluation indicating that
the tree is at a high risk of failure and is
hazardous, the tree appears to be a good
candidate for removal. If limbs were to fall it is
likely the home underneath the tree would be
damaged, there are also utility lines serving
surrounding homes that could be damaged from
falling limbs.

2. The necessity of the requested action to allow
construction of improvements or otherwise
allow reasonable use of the property for the
purpose for which it has been zoned. In this
context, it shall be the burden of the person
seeking the permit to demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the director that there are no
reasonable alternatives to the proposed design
and use of the property. Every reasonable effort
shall be made to avoid impacting oak trees,
including but not limited to use of custombuilding design and incurring extraordinary costs to save oak trees.

There is no development proposed with this removal request. This is a request to eliminate a hazardous situation.

3. The topography of land, and the potential effect of the requested tree removal on soil retention, water retention, and diversion or increased flow of surface waters. The director shall consider how either the preservation or removal of the oak tree(s) would relate to grading and drainage. Except as specifically authorized by the planning commission and city council, ravines, stream beds and other natural water-courses that provide a habitat for oak trees shall not be disturbed.

The tree is not a significant contributor to soil or water retention and does not have an impact on surface waters.

Page 199 of 284 ends

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023

4. The number, species, size, and location of existing trees in the area and the effect of the requested action on shade areas, air pollution, historic values, scenic beauty, and the general welfare of the city as a whole.

If the tree is allowed to be removed, there are other trees that would remain in the neighborhood, and a replacement tree will be planted on City property.

5. Good forestry practices such as, but not limited to, the number of healthy trees the subject parcel of land will support.

The removal of the tree will require a minimum of the payment of in-lieu fee in the amount of $200 for 1 1.5-inch diameter replacement tree to be planted at the City’s discretion, for the replacement tree to be planted on public property.

Fiscal Impact
There is not a fiscal impact to the City related to this oak tree removal request, as the applicant will deposit $200 in-lieu fee towards the cost of a one replacement tree; however, oak trees can provide value to a property and can be an aesthetic value to the city as a whole.

CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Recommendation (Option 1)
Approve Resolution 23-XXX OTR 23-07, authorizing the removal of the 40-inch diameter oak tree and require the replanting of one (1) 1.5-inch dbh Blue oak replacement tree on site, at the direction of the Arborist, or pay $200 in-lieu fee to have the City plant a replacement tree on public property permit PRMC10.01.030(E).

Council Agenda Report
From: Angelica Fortin, Community Services
Subject: Fourth Quarter Report: El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO) Memorandum of Understanding
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Date: October 3, 2023
Facts

1. On February 16, 2022, the City received a request from ECHO, 1134 Black Oak Drive, for a one-time grant of $444,000 “to cover the staffing costs that are not paid for by other funders for FY 2022-23.”

2. On March 15, 2022, City Council considered ECHO’s funding request and directed the formation of an ad hoc committee to review the request and to make recommendations to modify ECHO’s existing MOU with the City.

3. Throughout the month of April 2022, then Councilmember, and now Mayor, John Hamon and Councilmember Steve Gregory participated in three public ad hoc committee meetings to review ECHO’s funding request.

4. On May 17, 2022, the ECHO Ad Hoc Committee reported its findings to City Council; Council directed staff to incorporate the findings into a revised MOU that would fund ECHO a total of $444,000 over the City’s two-year budget cycle for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 and FY 2023-2024.

5. On August 16, 2022, City Council approved the revised MOU with ECHO which required ECHO to form a Community Stakeholder Committee (CSC) and to provide quarterly accounting and statistical reports to the City prior to the funds being issued. Payments will be made on a quarterly basis, not to exceed $222,000 per fiscal year or $444,000 in total in FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24.

6. The City Council has received three quarterly reports and approved the disbursement of three quarterly payments to date.

7. In August 2023, ECHO completed its fourth quarter under the revised MOU.

Options

1. Take no action;

2. Receive and file ECHO’s fourth quarter report and direct staff to disburse the second payment in the amount of $55,500;

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Approximately 85% of occupants live or work in
Paso Robles.

ECHO shall seek all relevant grants and funding

Attachment 2
ECHO’s financial report provides expenditures and revenue streams for the ECHO Paso Robles location.

Program expenses include direct aid which consists of costs for items that are provided directly to clients such as clothing in preparation for interviews, shoes or sleeping bags. Expenses for client gas and bus tickets were detailed in a separate line item. Revenue streams include funds received through fundraising events, community donations, and grants, specifically; Project Home Key, American Rescue Act Fund (ARPA), Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Grant (HHAP), State and Federal Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and the Permanent and Local Housing Allocation (PLHA).

At the July 18, 2023 City Council Meeting, City Council requested ECHO provide additional information regarding outreach to surrounding businesses and service to individuals that have stayed in an encampment in the Salinas Riverbed. In response to this request, ECHO provided the attached Fourth Quarter Stakeholder Outreach Log which includes the name of several businesses that were invited to the July 27th Community Stakeholder Committee meeting held at ECHO Paso Robles. In all, 23 businesses were invited to the meeting with only one participating. In August, ECHO began collecting client data regarding the Salinas Riverbed and was able to report that 51.4% of clients utilizing their services have stayed in a Salinas Riverbed encampment.

In the last quarter, ECHO began transitioning the Paso Robles facility to a 90-day shelter program, similar to the service model at the ECHO Atascadero location, with 45 of the 50 shelter beds available at the Paso Robles location assigned to the 90-day program. Because the transition to an exclusively a 90-day program considerably changes the shelter options within the North County and has the potential to impact how the City’s Community Action Team can engage with and compel homeless individuals to seek nightly shelter services, City Council reconvened the Homelessness Ad Hoc Committee to discuss the matter. The Ad Hoc Committee, led by Mayor John Hamon and Councilman Steve Gregory, met on August 1st and will meet again to determine if any updates or clarifications will need to be made to the MOU in consideration of the change in service model.

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023
Fiscal Impact
City Council approved funding for this disbursement on August 16, 2022 contingent upon ECHO meeting the requirements of the revised MOU. There are no additional impacts associated with directing staff to disburse the second quarterly payment.

CEQA
The City finds that this action, to issue grant funding for ECHO Paso Robles, is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378, because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.

Recommendation (Option 2)
Receive and file ECHO’s fourth quarter report and direct staff to disburse funds in the amount of $55,500.

ECHO’s Good Neighbor program has been in full effect, with Residents of the 90-Day Program, working with staff weekly to clean up trash in the Black Oak neighborhood. We have even recently adopted the street.

We held our third Neighborhood Stakeholder's Meeting on Thursday July 27th.

We had representation from city council, police and local business. We continue to collaborate and support our partners from our neighborhood to find mutual solutions.

We have not received any calls on our 24 hour line but our team has gone out and engaged with local business owners to assist in outreach efforts and address their concerns.

Success Stories
Collin Colin’s was seeking new opportunities and
a fresh start. However, life had its
challenges in store for him. While looking
for work in Paso Robles, his legs seized up,
leaving him unable to walk and unable to
keep paying rent. This forced him to leave
his living situation and face homelessness
in our community.

Colin's turning point came when he came
to the ECHO Paso Robles Campus and
worked with case management to access
the services he needed. After focusing on
his health, Collin was able to join the
workforce at the Mid State Fair and he
became part of the fairgrounds crew. Right
before the fair began, he was offered a
supervisor role!
As Colin embraced the excitement of the
fair, another door swung open. He was
offered a position in maintenance, a role
he eagerly embraced. Fast forward to
today, and we're delighted to share that
Colin is still an integral part of the
maintenance team, continuing to make his
mark with dedication and hard work.

Success Stories
Marcella & Noah
When Marcella and Noah came to
ECHO when their family was facing
homelessness. They had nowhere
else to turn to but was told that
this was a place she could find
help. Signing up for the 90-Day
Emergency Shelter Program,
Marcella and Noah instantly
became a part of our community.

Since day one, Marcella was on it!
Greeting staff with a smile,
volunteering at the campus, and
always leaving every space she
visited better than when she found
it. After working with her case
manager, her hard work and
determination finally paid off and
this incredible family now has a
home to call their own.

Gray Cells = Other expenses & income for the ECHO, Paso Robles Emergency Shelter I hearby certifiy that I have examined this report and that the statements made and the figures shown herin and in any accompanying schedules are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a true and complete financial statements, made in good faith for the period stated. .
. __Mimi Rodriguez___ 9.7.2023 . .
. signature date
The budget above shows all expenses and income received for the ECHO, Paso Robles Emergency Shelter during the fourth quarter of the City of Paso Robles grant award (June - August 2023). During this quarter, ECHO fundraised $527,041.04 for the Paso Robles Shelter though grants, events, and community donations. The total expenses for the ECHO, Paso Robles Shelter was $289,496.41. This leaves us with a current surplus of $238,072.30. This large surplus is primarily due to a unique grant ECHO recieved for $220,000 in which the grantor awards the funds for a 12 month period at the beginning of the year rather than a reimbursement style of grant. Many of ECHO's grants are similar to the City of Paso Robles Grant award in that the funds are awarded as a reimbrusement after expenses occur. Because of these grant processes, ECHO's budget will fluxuate between either having a surplus or deficit of funds throughout the year. Once ECHO is able to submit a full year of financial reporting for the ECHO, Paso Robles Emergncy Shelter it will show a clear picture of how we responsibly manage our funds.

Council Agenda Report
From: Lori Wilson, Assistant Planner
Subject: Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance (PRMC 10.01.030) Violation / Oak Tree Removal Permit OTR23-10 – One (1) valley oak tree damaged beyond reclamation during construction at 1234 Olive Street / APN 009-034-020
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Date: October 3, 2023
Facts

1. In violation of the cities Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance (PRMC 10.01.030), large roots of the 21.5” diameter at breast height (DBH) valley oak were cut during construction occurring under a residential remodel permit (B23-0048), causing rapid deterioration of the tree.

2. The city has received an application for oak tree removal permit OTR23-10 (P23-0042). The request is to remove one valley oak tree due to its declining health, proximity to an existing single-family residence, potential for future failure and damage to the structure, as a result of root cutting in violation of the Ordinance.

3. Certified arborist, Robert Schreiber, of Arbor First evaluated the oak tree on the property and provided an arborist report determining the tree is dying and beyond reclamation.

4. Given the construction impacts the tree has undergone, the rapidly declining health of the tree and proximity to the residence, the arborist is recommending removal.

5. The city’s Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance (PRMC 10.01.030) requires replacement of 25% of the diameter of the oak being removed. Furthermore section (PRMC 10.01.120) states that if a violation should occur during development the replacement ratio shall be at a ratio equal to twice that required. In this case, mitigation is replanting seven (7) oak trees (3.5 trees x 2) or paying the cities in lieu fee of $1,400 (7 trees x $200). The mitigation is determined by taking the trees DBH of 21.5” x .25 = 5.375/1.5” DBH trees = 3.58 Trees. This result is then multiplied by two to account for the violation, which results in seven (7) oak trees.

Options

1. Approve Resolution 23-XXX, to allow the removal of one valley oak tree and assess a violation fee; require the owner to plant two (2) valley oak trees on-site ($400 mitigation value); and pay an inlieu/violation fee of $1,000 ($1400 total mitigation value).

2. Deny the request to remove the oak tree based on findings to be stated in City Council motion;

3. Amend the above options; or

4. Refer the item back to staff for additional analysis.

Analysis and Conclusions
In January 2023 a building permit for a residential remodel, B23-0048, was submitted to the City. The scope of work included an interior remodel, re-roof, new front porch and rear deck. The valley oak tree proposed for removal is located near the construction that was proposed for the new front porch; however, the oak tree was not identified on the site plan submitted to the City. Staff reviewed and approved the permit without knowledge of the oak tree and the construction impacts that would occur.

On May 16, 2023, the City was notified that construction work approved via building permit, B23-0048, would require substantial removal of roots and trunk and would surely result in the death of a valley oak tree that had not been identified on the approved site plan. The valley oak tree is located close to the front porch of the home on the north/west side of the property.

On May 18, 2023, the city received an email with amended plans which confirmed that the applicant’s goal was to revise their plans so that they could move forward with the backyard deck & trellis addition and portions of the remodel which would not impact the tree. The applicant and arborist felt the tree did pose a threat to the existing structure and indicated they would submit for an oak tree removal permit at a later date. If the removal request was approved, they would then move forward with the new front covered porch that was part of the original approved plans. Addendum 23-0030 was issued on July 5, 2023.

On July 25, 2023, Planning and Building staff conducted a site visit and documented construction impacts the tree had undergone. The root ball near the existing foundation had been excavated and approximately 1/3 of the trees root system was removed during excavation. The intent of Addendum 23-0030 was to move forward with construction without any impacts to the oak tree, however the contractor moved forward with footings shown on structural sheets of the addendum that resulted in the damaging excavation. On July 26, 2023, the Building department posted a partial stop work notice for violation of PRMC 10.01.030.

Major scaffold roots cut from tree.

On September 8, 2023, certified arborist Robert Schrieber, submitted a report indicating the deterioration of the tree was increasing and the remaining roots are not sufficient to allow the tree to survive long term.

An oak tree removal request was submitted based on the trees declining health and its location to the existing home and potential risks of future failure and damage to the structure.

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023
Current Condition, 23.09.22
The city’s oak tree preservation ordinance states that the city may place a stop work order until a mitigation plan has been approved by the city. It also states that if the mitigation plan includes replacement trees, the replacement ratio shall be at a ratio equal to twice that required (PRMC

10.01.130). The city’s Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance (PRMC 10.01.030) requires replacement of 25% of the diameter of the oak being removed. The tree being removed is 21.5 DBH so it would typically require

3.5 replacement trees. Due to the violation the mitigation will be twice that amount and either seven replacement trees shall be planted or an in-lieu fee of $200 per tree will need to be paid.

Paso Robles Municipal Code Section 10.01.050.E requires the City Council to consider the following factors when reviewing the removal of a healthy oak tree. These factors along with staff’s analysis of each factor are listed below:

1. The condition of the oak tree with respect to its general health, status as a public nuisance, danger of falling, proximity to existing or proposed structures, interference with utility services, and its status as host for a plant, pest or disease endangering other species of trees or plants with infection or infestation;
The valley oak tree is located close to an existing single-family residence. The tree’s root ball and approximately 1/3 of the root system was recently removed during excavation and the trees health is rapidly declining. The trees potential for failure and proximity to the residence pose a high risk.

Page 264 of 284 ends

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023

2. The necessity of the requested action to allow construction of improvements or otherwise allow reasonable use of the property for the purpose for which it has been zoned. In this context, it shall be the burden of the person seeking the permit to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the director that there are no reasonable alternatives to the proposed design and use of the property. Every reasonable effort shall he made to avoid impacting oak trees, including but not limited to use of custom-building design and incurring extraordinary costs to save oak trees.

The subject tree is located at the north/west corner and overhangs over the existing residence.

It’s declining health and risk of causing damage to the existing residence presents a challenge to allowing continued reasonable use of the property.

3. The topography of land, and the potential effect of the requested tree removal on soil retention, water retention, and diversion or increased flow of surface waters. The director shall consider how either the preservation or removal of the oak tree(s) would relate to grading and drainage. Except as specifically authorized by the planning commission and city council, ravines, stream beds and other natural water-courses that provide a habitat for oak trees shall not be disturbed.

The tree proposed for removal is on flat ground. It is not a significant contributor to soil or water retention and does not have an impact of surface waters.

4. The number, species, size and location of existing trees in the area and the effect of the requested action on shade areas, air pollution, historic values, scenic beauty and the general welfare of the city as a whole.

There are a number of other oaks and shade trees in close proximity, mitigation will require replacement oak trees be planted on-site.

5. Good forestry practices such as, but not limited to, the number of healthy trees the subject parcel of land will support.

The site is a standard downtown lot. It has the ability to support a limited number of trees.

Staff recommends approval of the oak tree removal permit based on the safety concerns related to the current damaged condition of the oak tree (PRMC 10.01.050).

Fiscal Impact
There are no fiscal impacts to the city related to this oak tree removal request; however, oak trees can provide value to a property and be an aesthetic value to the city as a whole.

CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023
Recommendation (Option 1)
Approve Resolution 23-XXX, to allow the removal of one valley oak tree and assess a violation fee; require the owner to plant two (2) valley oak trees on-site ($400 mitigation value); and pay an in-lieu/violation fee of $1,000 ($1400 total mitigation value).

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASO ROBLES

DETERMINING AN OAK TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE VIOLATION,

ASSESSING VIOLATION PENALTIES AND AUTHORIZING THE REMOVAL OF

ONE OAK TREE DAMAGED BEYOND RECLAMATION
APN: 009-034-020
(OTR 23-10 – 1234 Olive Street)
WHEREAS, an application for an Oak Tree Removal Permit (OTR 23-10) has been submitted, proposing the removal of one Live Oak tree, totaling 21.5-inches in diameter; and WHEREAS, Robert Schreiber, Certified Arborist of Arbor First, provided a report that indicates the tree the tree is dying and beyond reclamation; and
WHEREAS, in violation of PRMC 10-01.030, large roots of the 21.5” diameter at breast height (DBH) valley oak were cut during construction occurring under a residential remodel permit (B23-0048) at 1234 Olive Street, causing rapid deterioration of the tree; and WHEREAS, given the construction impacts the tree has undergone, the rapidly declining health of the tree and proximity to the residence, the arborist is recommending removal; and WHEREAS, the Community Development Director could not make the determination that the tree is “clearly dead or diseased beyond correction,” and therefore, the tree is “healthy” as defined by Section 10.01.050.C of the Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance; the City Council must make the determination of whether the tree should be removed or not, after consideration of the factors listed in Section 10.01.050.D; and
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on October 3, 2023, to consider the facts as presented in the staff report prepared for this project, and to accept public testimony regarding this oak tree removal request.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL PASO DE ROBLES DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. All of the above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2. Findings: Pursuant to Paso Robles Municipal Code section 10.01.050.D., and based on the entire record including all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds as follows:
a. Having considered the factors outlined in Section 10.01.050.D. of the Paso Robles Municipal Code, the information provided by the Arborist in Exhibit A, and the Planning Director’s recommendation in Exhibit B, the City Council finds that allowing the removal of the tree would be consistent with the required findings for removal, based on the tree being in poor condition and a hazard to existing structures.

Section 3: Approval. The City Council of the City of El Paso de Robles does hereby:

Page 270 of 284 ends

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023
Attachment 3
a. Authorize the removal of one (1) Live oak tree, totaling 21.5-inches inches in diameter; and
b. Require the owner to plant seven (2) valley oak trees on-site and pay an in-lieu / violation fee of $1000.
c. Find the action exempt from CEQA. The action to remove one Valley Oak tree is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a minor public alteration in the condition of the land, and does not require the removal of a healthy tree, but rather a tree in poor condition that could pose a safety hazard (State CEQA Guidelines section 15304).

SUBJECT: VALLEY OAK TREE
1234 OLIVE STREET
PASO ROBLES, CA 93446
This report includes an analysis of one (1) Valley Oak tree (Quercas lobata) located at 1234 Olive Street, Paso Robles, CA 93446 (APN 009-034-004). The report is intended for use by High End Construction, the City of Paso Robles and the property owner.

TREE CHARACTERISTICS:

OBSERVATIONS:

Quercas lobata or Valley oak is of the white oak evolutionary lineage, which is officially known as the subgenus Lepidobalanus. This subgenus comprises numerous oaks from California and elsewhere, which species share similar leaves, acorns, bark and wood pulp.

The subject tree is located in the front yard of a residential lot. It is adjacent to the left corner of the residence and is in close proximity to the existing house foundation [see Figure 1 attached]. It overhangs the roof of the existing residence as well as a portion of the neighbor to the left of the subject property [see figures 2 & 3 attached]. The tree currently has full foliage to the extent possible given prior pruning. The tree is in okay health. The major leaders are well attached to the trunk and show no signs of necrosis or excess stress at attachment. The shape of the tree is good. There is evidence of bark fracture from grade to approximately 5’ up the trunk [see Figure 5 attached]. The root ball near the existing foundation has been excavated per the approved construction plans. Multiple roots, approximately 1/3 of the root system, have been removed during the excavation. The root ends have been cleanly cut leaving no frayed edges at this point [see Figure 4 attached].

ANALYSIS:

The location of the tree is clearly problematic. Its’ proximity to the existing structures foundation, overhang on both existing and adjacent structures and degradation of the root ball /root system indicates a possible future danger if there was a failure. Due to prior activity with the tree, structural pruning will not mitigate the threat of failure and possible harm to persons and property.

CONCLUSION:

Given the location, health and construction impacts the tree has undergone, the logical conclusion is to remove the tree. The loss of 21.5” of dsh can be mitigated with a combination of on-site and off-site planting of like kind Valley Oaks in the ratio as described in the Paso Robles Oak Tree Ordinance {PRMC Section 10.01.030}.

Mr. Francisco Mantaras Via E-mail
High End Construction, Inc. ` [email protected] Re: 1234 OLIVE STREET, PASO ROBLES, CA [APN #009-034-004] Dear Ms.Wilson & Mr. Mantaras:

We received an e-mail from Lori Wilson 8.23.2023 regarding the above referenced property. The subject Oak tree in question had been previously reported on and the email requested that we revisit the site and oak tree specifically. As a result, we have been observing the tree multiple times weekly since the above date. The trees foliage (sparse thought it may be) has continued to yellow. The deterioration appears to be increasing with resultant foliage drop in any slight wind disturbance. The large roots that were cut during construction are not going to regrow and the remaining roots are not sufficient to allow the tree to survive long term.

It is our opinion that the tree presents a hazard to both structure and persons on the property and should be removed.

If you need further information regarding this issue, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Sincerely,
Exhibit A
Arborist Report

Council Agenda Report
From: Ty Lewis, City Manager
Subject: Selection of a Mayor Pro Tempore and Review and Update of the Councilmember Liaison Appointments
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Date: October 3, 2023
Facts

1. The Municipal Code calls for the designation of a Mayor pro Tempore, to fill in when the Mayor is absent or unable to perform their duties.

2. The Mayor, with approval of the City Council, may appointment councilmembers to regional bodies, liaisons to advisory committees, and ad hoc committees.

3. The Mayor, with approval of the City Council, may also appoint councilmembers as alternates to these bodies to ensure the City has representation at meetings should the primary appointee not be able to attend.

4. Typically, these appointments occur during one of the first meetings following a general municipal election in November of even years.

5. As a result of the recent passing of Mayor Martin, appointment of Councilmember Hamon to the seat of Mayor, and the resulting vacancy and subsequent appointment of the District 1 council seat, there are several boards, committees, commissions, and liaison assignments which should be reviewed for applicability or require restructuring due to former Mayor Martin and Mayor Hamon being assigned to the same Committee or Board as the primary/alternate combination.

6. Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) regulations require that Form 806 be adopted/posted by the City before a Councilmember may participate in a decision to appoint him/herself to a compensated position. The Form 806 must list all the paid appointed positions and must be posted to the City’s website prior to a vote to appoint a governing board member to a paid position on another agency. The current Form 806 (Attachment 3) is posted on the City’s website, which reflects the compensated positions. As information included on Form 806 changes (number of scheduled meetings, rate of compensation, or membership), amendments shall be made promptly and updated on the City’s website.

Options

1. Take no action;

2. Appoint the Mayor or any councilmember as the primary/alternate appointee for each respective assignment until such assignments are updated after the November 2024 general municipal election; or

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Page 278 of 284 ends

City Council Agenda October 3, 2023
Analysis and Conclusions
Under State Law, the Municipal Code, and Council policy, the City Council is free to make governmental agency liaison, ad hoc committee, and advisory committee liaison assignments as deemed appropriate.

Customarily, appointments are updated soon after a general municipal election, such as the one set to occur in November 2024.

However, former Mayor Martin and Mayor Hamon were previously appointed to several boards, commissions, committees and in a liaison capacity to external organizations as a primary/alternate combination. In order to ensure representation at these meetings and events, it is recommended the City Council consider updating assignments to reflect a new primary and/or alternate for each assignment where this circumstance exists. Furthermore, in anticipation of an appointment to fill the vacant District 1 seat earlier on this agenda, the Mayor and City Council may consider updating appointments as deemed necessary to reflect the new makeup of the City Council and desires to make such reassignments to reflect the new makeup of the City Council.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact of reviewing and/or updating the assignments.

CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Recommendation (Option 2)
Select a Mayor pro Tempore and appoint the Mayor or any councilmember as the primary/alternate appointee for each respective assignment until such assignments are updated after the November 2024 general municipal election.
