CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 10.A.

DATE: APRIL 16, 2024
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: MARKISHA GUILLORY, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE UPDATED USER AND REGULATORY FEES AND THE

MASTER FEE SCHEDULE

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council hold a Public Hearing and adopt the Resolution (Attachment B) updating the City’s user and regulatory fees and the updated Master Fee Schedule to be effective July 1, 2024.

BACKGROUND
Cities impose a user or regulatory fee for services related to an individual person or entity’s request or action. In accordance with industry best practice and California statute, user and regulatory fees should be set according to the estimated reasonable cost of service and should bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the activities and/or services provided by the City.

The City’s Revenue Policy – User Fees and Charges, a component of the Financial and Investment Policies, states that the City is empowered to recapture, through fees, up to the full cost of providing specific services. Regular and consistent review of all fees is necessary to ensure that the costs associated with delivery of individual services have been appropriately identified, and that the City is fully recovering those costs.

The City conducted a comprehensive user and regulatory fee study in 2022. The results of the study led to a number of changes to existing fees as well as established several new fees.

Each fiscal year, user and regulatory fees are reviewed and set at the direction of the City Council. Through a public hearing, any new fees or fee increases are considered for adoption.

If the new fees proposed in the updated master fee schedule (Attachment A) are adopted by the City Council, staff recommends a July 1, 2024 effective date for fee changes.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
In order to keep pace with general cost inflation for services provided to the community, staff is recommending that most fees, as noted below, be increased by the growth in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the past year. The CPI for the San FranciscoOakland-Hayward region increased by 2.4% over the past twelve months, from February 2023 through February 2024.

The following sections have been updated in the attached Master Fee Schedule (Attachment A):
• Building Fees - Most fees are increased by 2.4% based on CPI, except for fees limited to amounts outlined in the California Government Code. • Planning Fees - Most fees are increased by 2.4% based on CPI, except for deposits and fees limited to amounts outlined in the California Government Code.
• Engineering and Encroachment Permit Fees – Most fees are increased by 2.4% based on CPI, except for deposits.
• Recreation Fees – The fees are increased by 2.4% based on CPI. • Police Fees – The fees remain unchanged. Staff may recommend to Council at a later time that some fees be increased.
• Police Fines and Penalties – The fees remain unchanged as they are regulated by Pinole Municipal Code.
• Development Impact Fees – The fees remain unchanged. Staff is conducting a nexus study on the development impact fees and might recommend changes based on the results of the study.
• Wastewater Utility Fees – The fees are subject to different approval thresholds and are determined by a different process. The current rates were established in 2018, based on the rate study conducted at that time. The new rate study is in progress and anticipated to be presented to the City Council in June. • Business Licenses Fees – The fees are determined by a different process.

Pursuant to Pinole Municipal Code, they are reviewed at the end of each calendar year and only adjusted upward or downward by 5% with each

cumulative 5% change in the CPI.
• Fire Prevention Fees – The fees align with those collected by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.

FISCAL IMPACT
Any additional revenue expected from the Proposed Master Fee Schedule is intended to offset the cost of providing existing services associated with those fee-related regulatory functions and other programs.

[a] Temporary use permit fee may be reduced to $0 (no charge) for non-profit entities. [b] Planning Commission Appeal requests initiated by the City Council members shall be accompanied by a $250 rather than $500 appellant fee.

The $250 may be refundable if the appeal initiated by a majority of the City Council members that hear the appeal request.

Applicants for full cost (deposit-based) submittals shall pay for all City staff and contract service provider time and materials required to process the application. A full cost reimbursement agreement shall be included with the project application submittal package. Projects outside the scope of this fee schedule will be subject to a full cost reimbursement agreement to be approved by the City Manager and/or City Council. This reimbursement agreement will include the identification of a work program and will include cost estimates for both City staff time and consultant services based on a defined scope of work.

Initial deposits will be collected and held by the City in a deposit account at the time the application is submitted. Project billing amounts will be drawn from the deposit account. If the deposit is reduced to below 20% of the initial deposit amount, the applicant will be notified and required to supplement the deposit account with an additional amount.

When more than one full cost application is submitted, the sum total of the initial full cost deposit amount may be reduced by up to 20% at the discretion of the Planning Director.
[c] Total fees shall not exceed amounts outlined in California Government Code 66015(a)(1).

Funds expended for staff time shall not be dependent upon the City’s approval or disapproval of the application request. Any deposit amounts remaining after final project close out will be returned to applicant (less bond amounts held by the City).

As may be required by the Planning Department or Public Works Department for project evaluation or environmental review, all payment for attorney and consultant work shall be the responsibility of the applicant.

Overview of Fee Structure
Fees may be either fixed fees, or Full Cost Recovery with Minimum Amount Due. When a fee is Full Cost Recovery with Minimum Amount Due, the minimum amount charged shall be the Minimum Fee. The City reserves the right to collect amounts in excess of the minimum fee when City costs or other review costs (e.g. consultant, County, attorney, etc.) exceed this amount.

Use of Full Cost Recovery with Minimum Amount Due
For fees collected using Full Cost Recovery with Minimum Amount Due, the City will provide an accounting of internal costs and other related costs (e.g. consultant, County, attorney, etc.), to support any amounts billed in excess of the minimum amount due.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-XX

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PINOLE, COUNTY OF

CONTRA COSTA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, UPDATING USER AND

REGULATORY FEES AND THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, user and regulatory fees are established by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City completed a study in June 2022 to identify the cost of providing various user and regulatory fee-related services; and WHEREAS, the study examined fee-related services provided by the City, the costs reasonably borne by the City in providing those services, the beneficiaries of those services, and the revenues produced by those paying fees and charges for special services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that providing these services is of special benefit to applicants both separate and apart from the general benefit to the public; and therefore, in the interests of fairness to the general public, the City desires to better recover the costs of providing these services from applicants who have sought or require the City's services by revising its schedule of fees; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires that annually the City Manager may update the fees based on the annual percentage change in the all-urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) for San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA. If the CPI does not change or goes down in a given year, no change shall be made to the fee schedule that year; and
WHEREAS, in adopting this Resolution, the City Council is taking action only on those fees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit “A” which have been modified from prior resolutions of the City Council. The remaining fees that have not been modified from prior resolutions shall remain in full force and effect.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Pinole does hereby resolve as follows:

SECTION 1: That the foregoing recitals and findings are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2: That the City Council hereby adopts the fees, charges, and rates as set forth in attached Exhibit "A" and incorporated by this reference.

SECTION 3: That any new or adjusted fees adopted by this Resolution shall go into effect July 1, 2024.

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 10.B.

DATE: APRIL 16, 2024
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ERIC CASHER, CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: CONDUCT FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION

1.02.010 OF THE PINOLE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT A NEW CITY SEAL

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council conduct a first reading of an ordinance amending Section

1.02.010 of the Pinole Municipal Code to adopt a new City seal.

BACKGROUND
The City of Pinole first adopted its official seal on April 5, 1965. It portrayed a Native American man with arms crossed against a natural background containing water, mountains, birds, sun, and sky with a floral border frame and text: City of Pinole California 1903. In the 1990’s, the seal design and color scheme was slightly modernized. In 2013, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2013-01 adding Chapter 1.02 “City Seal, Logo and City Name” to the Municipal Code. Section 1.02.010 “City Seal” provides:

The seal of the city of Pinole is the same as that heretofore used and depicted below: A die; the form of the die shall be two circles, one inside the other. Within the smaller circle shall be a depiction of a Native American crossing his arms with the rugged eastern foothills, San Pablo Bay, the sun and three flying birds behind him. Within the larger circle on the upper part of the circle shall be imprinted the words “City of Pinole, California.” On the lower part of the circle shall be imprinted the date the city was incorporated, “1903”.

In the 1990’s, the seal design and color scheme was slightly modernized. The City of Pinole currently uses this modern version of the seal and it can be found throughout City facilities and is used in documents and media as the primary logo. Recently, the City of Pinole was prompted to examine its branding strategy as part of the Communication and Engagement Plan, adopted by City Council on October 18, 2022. A coherent brand identity represents a key piece of the City Council’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan goal of developing marketing and branding strategies congruent with the communication plan and economic development strategies.

The City hired Tripepi Smith to design a new logo and create branding guidelines as part of

the Communication & Engagement Plan. Logo design options were presented for discussion at a City Council meeting on March 21, 2023, however, none of the initial design concepts were adopted at that meeting. Instead, the City Council approved the formation of the City Seal Ad Hoc Subcommittee to further explore options for a new City seal and logo.

The City Seal Ad Hoc Subcommittee retained Tripepi Smith and worked with staff, community members, and members of the Confederated Nations of Lisjan (Ohlone) on an extensive process which included three (3) rounds of community outreach and over twenty (20) meetings and discussions to develop the City’s new seal, logo, and branding guidelines, upon which City Council direction is now desired.

Staff gathered insights on the community's perceptions and values pertaining to the visual representation of Pinole using surveys. Survey results (Attachment B) revealed the community’s desire to include representation of the area’s Ohlone roots, and identified several natural symbols, colors, and feelings associated with Pinole. The City Seal Ad Hoc Subcommittee and staff agreed that it was important to incorporate the community’s perceptions to ensure that final designs are a collective representation of the City’s identity.

On March 19, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the City Logo and authorizing staff to bring forward an ordinance amending the Municipal Code to incorporate and formally adopt the new City Seal.
“The seal of the City of Pinole is depicted below: A die; the form of the die shall be two circles, one inside the other. Within the inner circle shall be a scene of a hawk flying into Pinole Valley. Depicted in the scene is Pinole Creek with cattails leading to San Pablo Bay, rolling fog, oak trees nestled in the foothills, and the sun behind the hawk’s silhouette. The scene shall be bordered by an acorn pattern with a green and gold ring enveloping the outside of the inner circle. Within the outer circle on the upper part of the circle shall be imprinted the words "City of Pinole." On the lower part of the circle shall be imprinted “California” and on the right and left sides of the circle shall be the date the city was incorporated, "1903.” Four stars shall separate the four worded sections in the outer circle. The outermost circle shall be a gold The City of Pinole first adopted its official seal on April 5, 1965.

On March 19, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the City Logo and authorizing staff to bring forward an ordinance amending the Municipal Code to incorporate and formally adopt the new City Seal. The ordinance would amend Chapter 1.02.010 of the Municipal Code, as follows:
“The seal of the City of Pinole is depicted below: A die; the form of the die shall be two circles, one inside the other. Within the inner circle shall be a scene of a hawk flying into Pinole Valley.

Depicted in the scene is Pinole Creek with cattails leading to San Pablo Bay, rolling fog, oak trees nestled in the foothills, and the sun behind the hawk’s silhouette. The scene shall be bordered by an acorn pattern with a green and gold ring enveloping the outside of the inner circle. Within the outer circle on the upper part of the circle shall be imprinted the words "City of Pinole." On the lower part of the circle shall be imprinted “California” and on the right and left sides of the circle shall be the date the city was incorporated, "1903.” Four stars shall separate the four worded sections in the outer circle. The outermost circle shall be a gold ring.

The City seal can also be applied in monochromatic color schemes.

At its regular meeting on March 25, 2024, the Municipal Code Update Subcommittee unanimously approved the ordinance amending Section1.02.010 of the Pinole Municipal Code with the updated image and description. The attached Ordinance (Exhibit A) reflects the amendment as approved by the subcommittee.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The proposed ordinance reflects efforts to provide a coherent brand identity consistent with a key piece of the City Council’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan goal of developing marketing and branding strategies congruent with the communication plan and economic development strategies. The proposed logo and seal is the result of input form the community including the community's perceptions and values pertaining to the visual representation of Pinole using surveys and input and design from consultant Tripepi Smith.

The City logo design was drafted by Tripepi Smith. The City seal design was illustrated by Fiona Epps, Assistant to the City Manager and Pinole resident, and vectorized by Tripepi Smith. The updated seal, new logo and branding guidelines (Attachment C) revitalizes the City's visual identity while conveying an authentic brand for the City of Pinole. Moreover, the proposed new City seal and logo incorporate elements that align with the community's identity as discovered through the community survey results.

Upon approval of the proposed Ordinance, staff will begin rolling out the new brand across both digital assets (email, social media, videos, website, etc.) and physical assets (vehicles, business cards, signage, etc.). Staff will also develop resources to assist City departments, employees, Council, and others to properly deploy the new brand assets.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding to implement the new seal, logo and branding guidelines will largely be covered within existing department budgets. Fiscal impact for the areas of deployments that fall outside of the adopted budgets, such as City vehicle decals, and wayfinding signage, will be included as part of supplemental budget requests reviewed with the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget in June. Larger costs, such as seal replacements inside and on the City Hall and Public Safety buildings will be considered capital improvement projects and will also be reviewed with the FY 24/25 budget.

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 11.A.

DATE: APRIL 16, 2024
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: DAVID HANHAM, PLANNING MANAGER
SUBJECT: RECEIVE UPDATE ON STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT OF

PARKLET/OUTDOOR DINING REGULATIONS IN PINOLE AND PROVIDE

DIRECTION

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive an update from Staff on findings from business interviews conducted in early 2024 and set a schedule for the development of permanent parklet regulations.

BACKGROUND
Outdoor dining extends eating establishments seating into the sidewalk, street and underutilized areas that can enliven the street, support economic development, and help reprioritize public space for human use.

The City of Pinole’s current regulations regarding outdoor dining were established in 2010 with a major Zoning Code Amendment in coordination with the adoption of the General Plan and Three Corridor Specific Plan. The regulations allow for outdoor dining in all zoning districts, except for residential zoning districts, with approval of an Administrative Use Permit and an Encroachment Permit (if City property is involved). An Administrative Design Review (staff-level approval) or Comprehensive Design Review (Planning Commission-level approval) may also be required depending on the size of the proposed structure.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the City Council established an expedited, modified process through an Urgency Ordinance which allowed eating establishments the ability to utilize existing parking lots, street rights-of-way and open spaces between buildings to serve food to customers through Temporary Use Permits. On April 4, 2023, staff provided an overview of the current regulations related to outdoor dining and sought direction from the Council on the development of a recommended framework for requirements applicable to outdoor seating areas on sidewalks, in street parking areas, and on public and private property.

The framework that was reviewed and recommended by the Planning Commission included:
• Defining categories of outdoor dining
• Establishing the permitting process for outdoor dining • Describing the locations and/or zoning districts where the use is allowed. • Establishing standards of design, materials, size, and landscaping (etc.) • Considering encouraging other elements such as public art and bicycle parking • Establishing standards that address uses of the area. • Addressing parking requirements
• Addressing the transition from temporary outdoor eating areas to permanent outdoor eating areas At the April 2023 meeting the City Council reviewed the Planning Commission’s recommendation, took comments, and provided the following directions:

1. Extended the active temporary use permits through the end of the year (2023).

2. Directed Staff to review the Old Town Pinole Parking and Pedestrian Safety Study and return with suggestions regarding the report including parklets, bulb outs, wayfinding, and other goals outlined in the study.

3. Directed Staff to conduct some outreach with the goal of finding out if there was interest in creating permanent parklets or outdoor dining eating facilities and identifying the constraints among businesses (businesses with business licenses that had a component of food service and that also had storefronts or dining in the City) that would keep them from having outdoor dining The Council received an update and took the following actions at the December 5, 2023 meeting:

1. Extended the Temporary Use Permits for outdoor dining at Tina's Place and Sue's place though June 30, 2024 to provide additional time to conduct outreach and develop permanent regulations if so desired by Council; and

2. Agendize as an Old Business item on the February 20, 2024 Council meeting an update from Staff on findings from the business interviews and setting a schedule for development for permanent regulations; and

3. Directed that the development of the Active Transportation Plan consider and incorporate recommendations from the Old Town Pinole Parking and Pedestrian Safety Study, as appropriate.

This item provides an update on findings from the business interviews and sets a schedule for the development of permanent regulations.

All business respondents indicated that they would be willing to be responsible for maintenance of their own outdoor dining areas.

Setting a Schedule for Adoption of Permanent Regulations Based on the Council's previous direction in 2023 and the favorable feedback from business owner interviews, Staff recommends that the Council explore permanent parklet regulations and improved outdoor dining regulations. Considering the workload of the Community Development Department, the development schedule outlined in Table 2 could be considered.

Table 2: Schedule for Development/Adoption of Permanent Regulations Month, 2024 Activity
April - May Planning Ad-Hoc Subcommittee meetings to

develop draft regulations
June Municipal Code Subcommittee meeting to
review draft regulations
July-August Planning Commission meetings to review draft regulations
September Municipal Code Subcommittee meeting to
review revised draft regulations
October City Council considers adoption of the
regulations
Temporary Use Permits
The two active parklets/outdoor dining spots permitted under Temporary Use Permits remain at Tina’s Place (2300 San Pablo Avenue) and Sue’s Place (2265 Pear Street). Both business owners express interest in pursuing permanent alternatives while simultaneously being allowed to retain their outdoor dining. The Council extended the Temporary Use Permits for both establishments until June 30, 2024, to facilitate outreach and permanent regulation development. Pursuant to the schedule for the development of permanent regulations in Table 2, there would be a lapse in time between the expiration of the Temporary Use Permits and the development of permanent regulations. To bridge this gap, the Council could consider extending the Temporary Use Permits once more.
