A severe acute respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus, known as COVID- 19, has spread globally and rapidly, resulting in illness and death around the world. The World Health Organization has described COVID-19 as a global pandemic. On March 4, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency in response to the increased spread of COVID-19. Additionally, on March 13, 2020, the County of San Luis Obispo declared a countywide emergency. And on March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared a federal emergency as a result of COVID-19.
The City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed the existence of a local emergency on March 16, 2020, which declaration was ratified by Council Resolution R-2020-0261 on March 17, 2020. The Council further proclaimed that a local emergency existed as of the date of the Governor’s March 4, 2020 declaration of emergency, and that the local emergency continued to exist. The City also partially activated its Emergency Operations Center on March 16, 2020 and the EOC team has met periodically to address the changing conditions presented by the various emergency declarations and other state and county health guidance.

9.D-1Council Agenda 11-15-2022
Packet Page 50
Actions taken to date with respect to COVID-19 response have included the continued procurement of sanitation supplies, the temporary closure of City Hall and other City facilities to the public, additional software licensing to increase public access to the City’s online records, and the development of virtual meeting models to allow the City Council, staff, the business community, and residents to participate remotely in critical meetings.
The City ordered Pismo Beach-branded bandanas to be used as face coverings, and provided them to lodging properties and other businesses for distribution to customers.
As a result of seasonal crowds, staff ordered and posted signage promoting keeping physical distance. The City has allowed the use of the right-of-way for queuing of customers, and developed a pilot Temporary Outdoor Dining Area Certification (TODAC) program allowing businesses to place tables for their customers in approved outdoor areas such as parking lots. The City Council has also authorized the use of certain street rights-of-way for temporary outdoor dining as part of the City’s COVID-19 Support Dining Encroachment Permit program, which is still in effect.
During the initial closure of City facilities, the City adopted work-from-home policies and procedures to allow “essential” staff to continue their work and offer many public services virtually. At a special meeting of the City Council held on December 11, 2020, the Council authorized the Mayor to support a regional initiative for the counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura to be considered separately from the “Southern California” region for purposes of state COVID-19 metrics that dictate which counties are able to “re- open,” as the rates of infection and ICU occupation remain much lower in the tri-county area than the remainder of the counties currently considered to be part of the “Southern California” region. A joint Mayors’ letter asking for the state’s consideration of this request was transmitted the week of December 14, 2020. At this same meeting, the Council affirmed its support for this City’s continued enforcement of what were then known as state “purple tier” health and safety restrictions.
On May 19, 2020, the Council adopted Urgency Ordinance O-2020-004 which implemented a requirement that employees of any business open to the public wear face coverings when unable to maintain adequate physical distance from customers, as well as a requirement that each such business post signage encouraging patrons to wear masks, and providing information about CDC recommendations relating to hand washing and other topics. This Ordinance became effective on May 20, 2020. Staff delivered direct messaging to the business community using contact information provided in business licensing records. On June 15, 2021, following the relaxing of state health directives relating to the virus, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance O-2021-002 which repealed the City’s local face covering mandates.
The City provided messaging to the community encouraging the public to pursue vaccination, and has ensured that City Council Members and staff members are enrolled in vaccination opportunities as appropriate. On April 27, 2021, it was announced that San Luis Obispo County would be moved to what was then known as the state’s “orange” tier of state-mandated health and safety restrictions, effective April 28, 2021, enabling the transition to certain activities, such as limited indoor gatherings of individuals, with certain restrictions. As such, staff implemented a hybrid model for City Council and Planning
9.D-2Council Agenda 11-15-2022
Packet Page 51
Commission meetings, where a majority of legislative body members and some staff are present in person, and some legislative body members, some staff, and all members of the public are present virtually.
In late May of 2021, the State of California announced the planned repeal of most temporary health and safety restrictions relating to COVID-19 on June 15, 2021. In anticipation of a grace period allowing local jurisdictions to return to pre-pandemic practices shortly after the emergency orders were lifted, staff prepared logistically for the full return of the public in-person access to City Hall, other City facilities, and City Council Meetings. At the time of the update presented on August 17, 2021, nearly all City staff had returned to the office full-time, and CalOSHA guidance relating to the use of face coverings in the workplace had been implemented.
As of late 2021, City was monitoring concerns relating to the delta variant of the coronavirus, and the full return to in-person legislative meetings had yet to be implemented. In accordance with face covering guidance issued by the County Health Officer effective September 1, 2021, the City had issued a directive requiring employees to return to the use of face masks indoors and in vehicles when in proximity to other employees, as well as requiring visitors to wear masks inside City facilities.
The California Governor ended the state’s indoor mask mandate for vaccinated people on February 15, 2022, and at that point, vaccinated employees and officials were no longer required to wear face coverings inside City work facilities. A hybrid in-person/virtual legislative meeting model was implemented for meetings of the City Council and advisory bodies, with legislative body members, staff, and the public participating both in the Council Chamber and virtually.
Due to a relatively high number of COVID-19 cases at City Hall in late May and early June 2022, a number of staff resumed work-from-home practices on a temporary basis, and in addition to following standard CalOSHA guidance, enhanced guidance for masking upon returning to the office was implemented. Legislative meetings in the first half of June were held entirely virtually, and have since returned to fully in-person, with a virtual access option. Staff is monitoring state and county regulatory changes, including Assembly Bill 2449, which will become effective January 1, 2023, and affect logistics relating to the implementation of the teleconferencing under the Brown Act for legislative meetings.
January 17, 2017 Proclamation: Winter Storms
Summary of Current Events
The storm drain failure at Cliff Avenue and Ocean Boulevard required a Phase II Environmental Study per Caltrans Local Assistance (LA) and the City’s environmental subconsultant. The Phase II Environmental Study fieldwork is complete and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) clearance has been provided. Staff submitted a time extension request to Caltrans LA in mid-August 2022, and is waiting on approval of that request. Staff has also submitted a request for authorization for the Right of Way (RW) phase of this project and is awaiting Caltrans review and approval before moving forward.
9.D-3Council Agenda 11-15-2022

Contracts were awarded by Council on December 21, 2021 to Granite Construction, Inc. (Granite) and Cannon Associates (Cannon) for construction and construction management services for the Ocean Boulevard Improvement Project, respectively. A pre- construction meeting for the project was held the week of February 7, 2022 and construction is ongoing. The project is anticipated to be complete in early Summer 2023.
Staff executed a contract with Eikhof Design Group, Inc., which has prepared 100% engineering plans for inhouse review and comments. The consultant is also preparing a bid document package and technical specifications. Staff anticipates requesting Council approval for authorization to advertise for construction bids in late October 2022.
Summary of Past Events
The Pismo Beach City Council declared a state of emergency on January 12, 2017, via Resolution R-2017-0122, in response to the January 2017 winter storms. Shortly after the Council’s declaration, the County of San Luis Obispo declared an emergency which was followed by a declaration by Governor Jerry Brown for the region. On February 14, 2020 and March 16, 2020 President Donald Trump declared a major disaster for the early and late January storms, making federal disaster aid available. The storms, which began the first week of January, took a toll on the community, culminating with a Caltrans storm drain failure on Highway 101, which caused flooding of two hotels on Price Street, blockage of the City’s Franklin storm drain outfall and debris scattered along Highway 101, Price Street and sidewalk, on Franklin Drive and various private parcels on January 20, 2017. Damage from the storms includes but is not limited to the following:
Bluff failure on Ocean Boulevard (Caltrans purview)
Bluff failure at Memory Park (FEMA purview)
Franklin Avenue storm drain failure (FEMA purview)
City Hall storm damage (FEMA purview)
Bluff failure at Ebb Tide Park (FEMA purview)
Bluff failure at Cypress Street at Harloe Avenue (FEMA purview) Storm drain failure on the City’s outfall located adjacent to the Dolphin Bay Resort (FEMA purview)
Storm drain failure on Cliff Avenue at Ocean Boulevard (adjacent to Dinosaur Caves Park) (Caltrans Purview)
Storm drain failure at the end of Harbor View Avenue (FEMA purview) Slope/road failure on Price Canyon Road (Caltrans purview)
Staff took immediate cleanup and protective measures of the sites where possible and has been working with FEMA through the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) and FHWA through Caltrans for reimbursement for work and funds required to cleanup and secure the various sites. Staff attended a Recovery Scoping Meeting with FEMA on May 16, 2017 and a Damage Assessment Site Inspection Meeting with Caltrans on May 18, 2017. The application and approval process for cost recovery

and permanent restoration at each site under FEMA purview is complete and checks have been issued based on FEMA scoping and estimated construction costs with a reimbursement of 93.75% FEMA/State and a 6.25% City match. Completed work for sites under FEMA purview includes removal of the fallen tree on the beach below Ebb Tide Park. It was anticipated that the actual cost of repairs at each site will exceed the amount approved and checks issued by FEMA. The City also filed insurance claims for each of these sites to potentially assist in completion of the repairs. After FEMA review, the following sites are deemed ineligible for federal aid as observed erosion and bluff failure was defined by FEMA representatives as naturally occurring over time:
Bluff failure at Memory Park
Bluff failure at Cypress Street at Harloe Avenue
Permanent restoration at these two sites will have to rely solely on insurance claim funding and/or grants that City staff is consistently in search of and pursuing.
The City has received all reimbursement checks from the State and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for damages at various sites under FEMA purview during the 2017 storms totaling $101,833. The next step is for City staff to further evaluate each site, issue requests for proposals (RFPs) for engineering design and environmental services and/or pursue cost estimates from contractors for permanent restoration of these sites which include:
Franklin Avenue storm drain failure (FEMA purview)
City Hall storm damage (FEMA purview)
Bluff failure at Ebb Tide Park (FEMA purview)
Storm drain failure on the City’s outfall located adjacent to the Dolphin Bay Resort (FEMA purview)
Storm drain failure at the end of Harbor View Avenue (FEMA purview)
Construction of repairs and drainage improvements to address leaking issues at the Fire Administration and Conference and Visitors portion of City Hall is complete.
The City received authorization from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for engineering design and environmental studies for the following three sites:
Bluff failure on Ocean Boulevard
Storm drain failure on Cliff Avenue at Ocean Boulevard (adjacent to Dinosaur Caves Park)
Slope/road failure on Price Canyon Road
Costs for these services are reimbursed at 88.53% by FHWA/Caltrans with an 11.47% City match. The environmental/design phase for both the Ocean Boulevard Improvement Project and the Price Canyon Road Slope Repair Project began by TerraCosta Consulting Group and Yeh and Associates, Inc., respectively in early 2019. Environmental, cultural

resource and temporary access impacted the design schedule and City staff pursued one- year time extensions from Caltrans for each project which we were subsequently granted.
Construction for the Price Canyon Road Slope Repair project is complete along with the 3-month plant establishment period. A Notice of Completion was approved by the City Council on May 17, 2022.
The City has included the permanent repair of all sites (both Caltrans and FEMA purview) damaged during the January 2017 storms in an insurance claim and has provided all required documentation to the insurance company. City staff was presented with a Partial Proof of Loss and Subrogation Agreement for the Morro stairs and storm drain outfall sites during a meeting with our insurance representative on February 15, 2019, and the City has received an initial payment in the amount of $504,324. This amount is based on the estimated cost of repair for the Morro Stairs and outfall. The City is currently waiting on a response from the City’s insurance representative on an initial payment amount that could be expected for all other sites. The City’s insurance representative has also indicated that the cost of engineering and environmental services for each site can be added to the total amount of the claim.
Staff is also pursuing a grant from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) as well as the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program for stabilization of a portion of the bluff near the City’s lift station at the end of Harloe Street. The City submitted a full HMGP subapplication to CalOES on April 8, 2022. CalOES is expected to select projects for further review by FEMA in late summer/early fall 2022. The City also submitted a Notice of Interest (NOI) to CaloOES for the BRIC program on September 16, 2022. Staff expects to receive notification within 30 days on the BRIC NOI, and will submit a full subapplication if the NOI is approved.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact from this report.
COVID-19
Costs related to the COVID-19 emergency are continuing on an ongoing basis, and as such, a precise total is difficult to assess at the current time. Staff will continually update Council as appropriate on anticipated future costs and reduced revenues as a result of the emergency.
January 2017 Winter Storms
The cost of damage from the January 2017 storms is estimated to be between $3,000,000 and $6,000,000. Once the damage can be fully assessed, staff will be able to formulate a better cost estimate.

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #9.E
SUBJECT/TITLE:
ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT FUNDS ALLOCATED BY THE OFFICE OF TRAFFIC
SAFETY (OTS) AND AUTHORIZATION OF PURCHASE OF ONE EXTRICATION
SYSTEM AND AIRBAGS FROM LN CURTIS
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the acceptance of grant funds in the amount of $46,000 from the Office of Traffic Safety, and the purchase of an extrication system and airbags from LN Curtis, and appropriating related budget adjustments in Fiscal Year 2023.
BACKGROUND:
In January of 2022, staff applied for a “Regional Collision Response and Extrication Improvement Program” grant through the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) in the amount of $46,000. Staff was able to show that the equipment that is on the City’s Rescue Vehicle 64 is old and older tools either do not have enough power to cut or manipulate metal in the new vehicles, or cost more to repair than to replace. Rescue 64 is a first-out response vehicle, and having the new extrication equipment is essential. The new tools meet industry standard with a stronger and longer-lasting battery. The City purchased new extrication equipment for Engine 64, Engine 63, and Engine 264 with funds from an OTS grant received in 2018.
Staff was notified in October that the City had been awarded the grant in the amount of $46,000 to be used to purchase an extrication system and airbags for the City of Pismo Beach Rescue Vehicle. A quotation for the purchase of the extrication equipment and airbags from LN Curtis is provided as Attachment 1.A.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the acceptance of grant funds in the amount of $46,000 from the Office of Traffic Safety, the purchase of an extrication system and airbags from LN Curtis, and the appropriation of related budget adjustments in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of approving the attached Resolution is an increase of $47,175.28 in expenditures in the Motor Vehicle Replacement Fund offset by $46,000 of OTS grant revenues and $1,176.00 from General Fund Fire Department operating supplies and maintenance account. There is currently no budget available for the lift and extrication equipment.
Staff recommends that Council appropriate $46,000 in State government grant revenues in the Motor Vehicle Replacement Fund and $47,176 of expenditures in the in the Motor Vehicle Replacement Fund budget, Motor Vehicle Replacement activity, and capital outlay for machine and equipment. In addition, staff recommends that Council

SUBJECT/TITLE:
TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the installation of up to 3 pedestrian and bicycle symbolled signs, up to 3 “yield to pedestrians” signs, and up to 3 “bikes reduce speed” signs along the Shell Beach Road multi-use path;
2. Receive a report on the items considered at the most recent Traffic Safety Committee meeting.
BACKGROUND:
The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) met on October 18, 2022, and the following summary outlines the results of this meeting. The Public Works Department will implement the Traffic Safety Committee recommendations, unless otherwise directed by the City Council.
Item 1 – Shell Beach Multi-Use Path Signage
The TSC reviewed a request from a resident to install pedestrian and bicycle signage along the multi-use path on Shell Beach Road.
TSC Recommendation:
The TSC heard from several community members who voiced various concerns, the primary concern was bicyclists and pedestrians conflicts on the multi-use path. The community members spoke on how they believe that signage or striping would give users a better sense of awareness and knowledge.
The Public Works Director/City Engineer discussed why a center line was not striped on the multi-use path when the path was installed. The City did not want to give users a false sense of security or narrow the path for users. By installing a stripe down the middle to divide pedestrians and bicyclists, the path would not allow families to walk together without encroaching onto the bike lane. The Public Works Director also noted that Shell Beach Road was intended for commuters on bicycles to use and is striped for bicycle usage. Unfortunately, commuters do not prefer this route due to the stop signs, and often opt for the multi-use path, which they are also allowed to use.
The committee discussed that all bicyclists have to obey vehicle laws. The issue with adding signage along the multi-use path is that there is not an enforceable speed limit. A yellow speed limit sign would need to be posted as a suggested speed limit. It was also noted that there is no difference between electric and standard bicycles in the Vehicle Code.
Council Agenda 11-15-2022Council Agenda 11-15-2022 9.F-1 Packet Page 65
A suggestion was made by the TSC to reach out to the San Luis Obispo Bicycle Coalition to encourage bicyclists to use Shell Beach Road or Mattie Road when commuting through the area.
A motion was made to install up to 3 pedestrian and bicycle symbolled signs (red diamond on Attachment 2), up to 3 “Yield to pedestrians” signs (green square on Attachment 2), and up to 3 “bikes reduce speed” signs (yellow circle on Attachment 2) and communicate to Bike Coalition to use Mattie Road or Shell Beach Road if commuting through the area.
Motion by Jim Lewis seconded by Jorge Garcia, to approve the TSC recommendation.
Passed: 6/0/1
Ayes: Jim Lewis, Jorge Garcia, Benjamin Fine, Matt Downing, Daniel Herlihy, Paul Lee
Noes: None
Absent: Dave Daguerre
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the TSC’s recommendation by adoption of a Resolution (Attachment 1). An exhibit is provided as Attachment 2.
Item 2 – Multi-Stop or Yield at Norma and Frances
The TSC discussed a request from a resident to install a multi-way stop or yield at the intersection of Norma Drive and Frances Way.
TSC Recommendation:
The TSC noted that there is a multi-way stop at the intersection on Elaine Way and Norma Drive; however, this intersection is different from the subject intersection because Elaine Way is a through street. The TSC did not have any collision reports for this intersection.
A motion was made to not take action at this time based on the fact that the intersection does not meet Federal Highway Administration Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices MUTCD warrants and there is no collision data to support a multi-way stop.
Motion by Benjamin Fine seconded by Matt Downing, to approve the TSC recommendation.
Passed: 6/0/1
Ayes: Jim Lewis, Jorge Garcia, Benjamin Fine, Matt Downing, Daniel Herlihy, Paul Lee
Noes: None
Absent: Dave Daguerre
No action is required by City Council. An exhibit is provided as Attachment 3.
Council Agenda 11-15-2022Council Agenda 11-15-2022 9.F-2 Packet Page 66
Item 3 – Baxter Lane Parking
The TSC discussed a request from a constituent to remove one side of no parking on Baxter Lane between Shafer Lane and the stub end.
TSC Recommendation:
The Fire Chief noted that originally this area was marked for no parking because response time for wildfires in that area is a concern. The Fire Department would be able to get fire engines into the area, but would not be able to get vehicles out and evacuate residents at the same time. The Fire Chief offered to work with the constituent to assign 3 parking passes with terms and conditions that would allow them to park in this area temporarily during construction.
A motion was made for the Fire Chief to handle this administratively.
Motion by Benjamin Fine seconded by Paul Lee, to approve the TSC recommendation.
Passed: 6/0/1
Ayes: Jim Lewis, Jorge Garcia, Benjamin Fine, Matt Downing, Daniel Herlihy, Paul Lee
Noes: None
Absent: Dave Daguerre
No action is required by City Council. An exhibit is provided as Attachment 4.
Item 4 – No Parking 373 Park Avenue
The TSC discussed a request from a resident to paint a red curb in front of 372 Park Avenue (Tract 2164).
TSC Recommendation:
A motion was made to reach out to the requesting resident and recommend if people are blocking the driveway to contact the Police Department for enforcement.
Motion by Benjamin Fine seconded by Jim Lewis, to approve the TSC recommendation.
Passed: 6/0/1
Ayes: Jim Lewis, Jorge Garcia, Benjamin Fine, Matt Downing, Daniel Herlihy, Paul Lee
Noes: None
Absent: Dave Daguerre
No action is required by City Council. An exhibit is provided as Attachment 5.
Council Agenda 11-15-2022Council Agenda 11-15-2022 9.F-3 Packet Page 67
Item 5 – No Parking 851 and 861 Visalia
The TSC discussed a request from a resident to install 10 feet of no-parking red curb, between 851 and 861 Visalia Street in support of mail delivery.
TSC Recommendation:
The TSC discussed the Vehicle Code, which allows vehicles to park in front of mailboxes.
If the City had to no-park in front of every mailbox, then there would be little parking left in certain neighborhoods.
A motion was made to deny the request and reach out to the requesting resident to communicate why.
Motion by Benjamin Fine seconded by Jorge Garcia, to approve the TSC recommendation.
Passed: 6/0/1
Ayes: Jim Lewis, Jorge Garcia, Benjamin Fine, Matt Downing, Daniel Herlihy, Paul Lee
Noes: None
Absent: Dave Daguerre
No action is required by City Council. An exhibit is provided as Attachment 6.
Item 6 – Price Street Lighting and Signage
The TSC discussed a request from staff to discuss lighting and signage on Price Street.
TSC Recommendation:
The TSC discussed the existing lighting on Price Street and that lighting along the corridor will not be upgraded until the Price Street Streetscape project is completed in the future.
The TSC does not see an issue with lighting or signage and sees only an enforcement issue.
The TSC did not take any action and will continue to monitor the safety aspect of Price Street and look at further implementation of modifications with the Price Street Master Plan.
Motion by Benjamin Fine seconded by Jim Lewis, to approve the TSC recommendation.
Passed: 6/0/1
Ayes: Jim Lewis, Jorge Garcia, Benjamin Fine, Matt Downing, Daniel Herlihy, Paul Lee
Noes: None
Absent: Dave Daguerre
No action is required by City Council. An exhibit is provided as Attachment 7.

Agenda Item #9.H
SUBJECT/TITLE:
ACCEPTANCE OF SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM (STEP)
FUNDING AWARD FROM THE OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution accepting grant funds in the amount of $55,000 from the California Office of Traffic Safety, and appropriating $55,000 in grant revenues and $55,000 in various costs in the General Fund Police Department budget in FY 2023.
BACKGROUND:
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) strives to eliminate traffic deaths and injuries by making available grants to local and state public agencies for programs that help them enforce traffic laws, educate the public in traffic safety, and provide varied effective means of reducing fatalities, injuries, and economic losses from collisions. OTS draws from several federal government funding sources for its grants and mounts public awareness campaigns, acting as the primary traffic safety resource in order to enlist the help of the general public and the media encouraging traffic safety. Each year, OTS notifies eligible agencies regarding the opportunity to participate in the grant program and the requirements to compete for available funds. Proposals are submitted addressing traffic safety problems from all interested and eligible agencies. A major area of concentration for awarded funding is in the area of alcohol-impaired driving.
The City has applied for and successfully obtained grant funding from OTS in the past.
Several of the grant awards were specific to driving under the influence (DUI) and impaired driver enforcement. The funding allowed for the procurement of DUI checkpoint equipment, a DUI Trailer, and DUI training to include travel, and funding overtime for officers working checkpoints and suppression patrols. The grant award will financially compensate overtime hours used by the Police Department to selectively enforce impaired driving throughout the holiday season to include spring break and the 4th of July celebrations. All equipment needed, advertising, educational material, and grant management cost is covered by the terms of the grant.
Some of the activities this grant will fund include but are not limited to: Traffic Safety education presentations with an effort to reach community members, DUI checkpoint operations, DUI saturation patrols, development and maintenance of a “DUI BOLO” program to notify patrol and traffic officers to be on the look-out for repeat DUI offenders, participating in data reporting for several different OTS campaigns, and sending law enforcement personnel to DUI related training courses.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the acceptance of grant funds in the amount of $55,000.00 from the Office of Traffic Safety for DUI prevention and enforcement activity, and appropriating $55,000 in grant revenues
9.H-1Council Agenda 11-15-2022

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #9.I
SUBJECT/TITLE:
ADOPTION OF FINDINGS RELATING TO AB 361 (VIRTUAL MEETINGS)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the following findings with respect to the City of Pismo Beach’s utilization of the provisions of Assembly Bill 361, relating to Brown Act teleconferences:
1. The City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency created by the coronavirus pandemic.
2. The following circumstances exist:
• The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the Council Members to meet safely in person.
BACKGROUND:
Assembly Bill 361 (Rivas, 2021) amends and codifies the relaxed Brown Act provisions that were originally implemented by Executive Orders of the Governor in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Among the provisions of the Brown Act that were relaxed by the Governor’s Orders were provisions for participation in legislative meetings by teleconference (phone, or virtual platform such as Zoom). Prior Brown Act provisions required that, in the event any legislative body member(s) wished to participate in a meeting remotely, the exact address of the remote location(s) be published in advance on the meeting agenda, the remote location(s) be disabled-accessible, and the public be provided the opportunity to observe the meeting and make public comment at the remote location(s).
Governor’s Orders N-29-20 and N-08-21 effectively suspended all of these provisions for health and safety reasons, making it possible for legislative body members to join a meeting virtually without the need for conducting advance noticing or providing direct public access to the location. AB 361, effective October 1, 2021, functionally codifies these provisions through January 2024, allowing agencies to avail themselves of the continued teleconferencing option if desired, provided that the legislative body makes certain findings as outlined below (Government Code Section 54953(e)(3)):
(3) If a state of emergency remains active, or state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, in order to continue to teleconference without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b), the legislative body shall, not later than 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time pursuant to subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of paragraph (1), and every 30 days thereafter, make the following findings by majority vote:
(A) The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency.
(B) Any of the following circumstances exist:
(i) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person.
Council Agenda 11-15-2022 9.I-1
Packet Page 101
(ii) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.
The City Council inaugurated its use of AB 361 provisions by holding a totally teleconferenced meeting via Zoom on October 5, 2021, and then adopted the recommended findings at each of its regular meetings since October 19, 2021. Following the state’s removal of the indoor mask mandate for vaccinated individuals on February 16, 2022, the City Council transitioned to fully hybrid meetings where the legislative body members, staff, and the public may attend the meeting either in person, or virtually.
Procedural Flexibility
The circumstances surrounding the impact of the coronavirus pandemic are continually evolving, and the progression of the pandemic, along with accompanying governmental health and safety directives, are difficult to foresee. While the Council has determined to transition to hybrid City Council meetings with a certain level of in-person participation, staff recommends that the adoption of these findings, as recommended, remain on the Council’s consent agenda for the foreseeable future, until such time that the Council determines that it can no longer make the findings due to a change in circumstance.
Adoption of the recommended findings at each meeting will provide continued flexibility should the Council need or desire to make a change to its meeting practices at any point in the future. Adoption of the findings in no way commits the City to holding virtual or hybrid meeting proceedings, providing full flexibility under uncertain circumstances.
Other Provisions of AB 361
AB 361 also requires that the public be given the opportunity to address the legislative body with their comments in real time, which the City has provided continuously since the start of the pandemic, and will continue to. In addition, the bill requires that meeting proceedings be stopped in the event that the public’s virtual access to a meeting is disrupted, for example due to an internet outage. When holding a hybrid meeting with some or all members participating in person, and some or all of the public participating virtually, staff will monitor the virtual meeting to component to assure that public access is not interrupted, and pause meeting proceedings in the event of a disruption.
Conclusion and Recommendation
In order to provide both legal compliance and practical flexibility during ongoing uncertain circumstances, staff recommends that, by minute order, the City Council make the following findings with respect to the City of Pismo Beach’s utilization of the provisions of Assembly Bill 361, relating to Brown Act teleconferences:
1. The City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency created by the coronavirus pandemic.
2. The following circumstances exist:
• The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the Council Members to meet safely in person.

Agenda Item #11.A
SUBJECT/TITLE:
ADOPTION (SECOND READING) OF AN ORDINANCE THAT ADOPTS BY
REFERENCE AND AMENDS THE LATEST EDITIONS OF THE CONSTITUENT
CODES OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE, MAKES FINDINGS
OF FACT TO SUPPORT THE AMENDMENTS, AND MAKES A DETERMINATION OF
EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive input;
2. Adopt an Ordinance amending Titles 8 and 15, Chapters 8.04, 8.08, 15.04, and
15.08 of the Pismo Beach Municipal Code; adopting by reference codes comprising the 2022 California Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Parts 1-12), including the California Fire Code (2022 Edition, incorporating and amending the 2021 International Fire Code); the California Building Code Volumes 1 and 2 (2022 Edition, incorporating and amending the 2021 International Building Code), the California Residential Code (2022 Edition, incorporating and amending the 2021 International Residential Code), the California Electrical Code (2022 Edition, incorporating and amending the 2020 National Electrical Code), the California Mechanical Code (2022 Edition, incorporating and amending the 2021 Uniform Mechanical Code, the California Plumbing Code (2022 Edition, incorporating and amending the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code), the California Energy Code (2022 Edition), the California Historical Building Code (2022 Edition), the California Green Building Standards Code (2022 Edition), and the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code together with certain amendments thereto; adopting findings of facts to support the imposition of requirements other than those of the California Building Standards Code, and making a determination of exemption under CEQA.
BACKGROUND:
The City is required to comply with the building and fire codes adopted by the State of California, which are updated every three years. The code editions recently adopted by the State will be effective January 1, 2023. These codes can be modified locally to reflect unique situations or special needs, and the City must adopt these local modifications as part of the Municipal Code in order to coordinate the City's building and fire codes with the State's codes.
On November 1, 2022, the City Council voted to introduce an ordinance (Attachment 1) adopting the aforementioned codes by reference, making certain local amendments to the codes, and making a determination of exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act. The ordinance is now being returned to the Council for second reading and adoption.
Council Agenda 11-15-2022 11.A-1

The agenda report for the November 1, 2022 agenda item, which includes background and technical analysis, including full strike-and-underscore markup for all code changes, is available in the Access Pismo public records portal at www.pismobeach.org/accesspismo1 , or upon request from the City Clerk’s Office.
Procedural Considerations
Government Code Sections 50022.1 through 50022.10 set forth the procedures by which a city may adopt codes by reference. In accordance with these Code Sections, the date of a public hearing is set at the Ordinance’s introduction (first reading), and the public hearing on the Ordinance occurs at the time of its adoption (second reading).
Accordingly, following the introduction and full reading of the title of the Ordinance (Attachment 1) on November 1, 2022, the Council set this public hearing date for adoption (second reading) of the ordinance.
Conclusion and Recommendation
To provide consistency with State of California construction code mandates and enable local amendments to the new constituent codes, staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing to receive public input, and then adopt an Ordinance (Attachment 1) amending Titles 8 and 15, Chapters 8.04, 8.08, 15.04, and 15.08 of the Pismo Beach Municipal Code; adopting by reference, and making certain local amendments to, certain codes comprising the 2022 California Building Standards Code and the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, and making a determination of exemption under CEQA.
If the Council acts to adopt the ordinance at this juncture, it will become effective by statute on December 15, 2022, and be implemented beginning January 1, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact from staff’s recommended action. Costs associated with codification of this ordinance and enforcement of its provisions will be absorbed by the adopted budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Pismo Beach Municipal Code 2.04.340 automatically waives full readings of Ordinances unless the Council directs otherwise; the Council may opt to have staff conduct a second reading in full, and then take action on the Ordinance.
2. Amend the Ordinance and return it for another first reading and introduction.
3. Decline to adopt the Ordinance. Compensation would remain unchanged.

WHEREAS, the California Health and Safety Code, Section 17958 provides that the California Building Standards Code shall be applicable to cities and shall become effective 180 days after publication by the California Building Standards Commission provided cities do not make any modifications or changes to the California Building Standards Code; and
WHEREAS, Section 17958.7 and Section 18941.5, require the City Council, before making any modifications or changes to the California Building Standards Code pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 18941.5 and 17958.5, to make an express finding that each such modification or change is needed; and

WHEREAS, the City Council hereby determines that Sections 502.1, 903.2, 903.3, 903.3.5, 905.3.1, 907.6.6, 1030.1, 1506, 3201, and 3202 of the 2022 California Building Code, Sections R310.1, R312.1.5, R313.2, R313.3.1.2, R313.3.5, R319.1, R326.1 and R904 of the 2022 California Residential Code, Article 230.70(A)(1) of the 2022 California Electrical Code, Sections 1501.3, 1503.1.1 and 1503.7 of the 2022 California Plumbing Code, and Sections 405.7, 503, 504.3, 505, 507.5.1, 603, 903.2, 903.3, 903.3.5, 905.3.1, 907.6.6, 2306.2.3, 5504.3, 5601, 5704, 5706 and 6104.2 of the 2022 California Fire Code, are required to be modified due to the findings contained herein to requirements other than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code; and Attachment 1
Council Agenda 11-15-2022 11.A-5
Packet Page 108
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that each of the changes or modifications to measures referred to therein are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions in the area encompassed by the boundaries of the City of Pismo Beach, and the City Council further finds that the following findings support the local necessity for the changes or modifications:
FINDING 1
That the City of Pismo Beach lies approximately midway between the major population centers of San Francisco and Los Angeles, making mutual aid resources from these centers delayed. Furthermore, within San Luis Obispo County, organized fire departments are characteristically at such distance and of such limited resources that they may not present a reliable rapid response mutual aid alternative, although agreements currently exist. The continued development in new residential areas within the City and potential annexation areas will increase response times for personnel, creating a substantial threat to human life and public safety. The afore-described conditions support the imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code and, in particular, support the imposition of greater requirements than set forth in Sections 502.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, 1030.1 and 1506 of the 2022 California Building Code, Sections R310.1, R313.2, R313.3.1.2, R313.3.5, R319.1 and R904.5 of the 2022 California Residential Code, and Sections 503, 504.3, 505.1, 903.2, 903.3.5, 905.3.1, 907.6.6, 2306, 5601.1, 5704.2.9.6, 5706.2.4.4, and 6104.2 of the 2022 California Fire Code.
FINDING 2
That on the inland side of the City of Pismo Beach lie large expanses of steep, undeveloped terrain with moderate to high wild-land fuel loading. Furthermore, a wild- land fire in these areas, in conjunction with coastal winds, Santa Ana winds, and similar dry, conditions could threaten the City with burning embers traveling thousands of feet that will ignite structures. City fire-suppression resources will be inadequate to resist this threat. The protection of human life and the preservation of property in the event of such an occurrence support the imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code and in particular support the imposition of greater requirements than set forth in Sections 502.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, and 1506.4 of the 2022 California Building Code, Sections R310.1, R313.2, R313.3.1.2, R313.3.5.4, R319.1 and R904.5 of the 2022 California Residential Code, and Sections 503, 504.3, 505.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, 907.6.6, 2306.2.3, 5601.1.3, 5704.2.9.6, 5706.2.4.4, and 6104.2 of the 2022 California Fire Code.
FINDING 3
That the City of Pismo Beach is bisected by Highway 101, and there are only six arterial crossovers along seven miles of City boundary bisected by said highway. This condition increases the response times for fire apparatus, especially during peak traffic flows. A delayed response due to this condition poses a substantial threat of fire to human life, public safety, and the preservation of property and support the imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code, and in particular, support the imposition of greater requirements than set forth in Sections Attachment 1
Council Agenda 11-15-2022 11.A-6
Packet Page 109
502.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, and 1506.4 of the 2022 California Building Code, Sections R310.1, R313.2, R313.3.1.2, R313.3.5.4, R319.1 and R904.5 of the 2022 California Residential Code, and Sections 405.7, 503, 504.3, 505.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, 907.6.6, 5601.1.3, 5704.2.9.6, 5706.2.4.4, and 6104.2 of the 2022 California Fire Code.
FINDING 4
That the City of Pismo Beach is bisected by a major freeway (Highway 101), traversing in the north/south direction, and is subject to floods and earthquakes which create impassable roads and collapsed bridges. Emergency personnel responding to a fire may be unduly impeded or delayed in accomplishing an emergency response as a result of this situation, with the potential result of undue and unnecessary risk to the protection of life and public safety, particularly in those buildings or structures without the protection of automatic fire sprinklers. The afore-described conditions support the imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code, and in particular support the imposition of greater requirements than set forth in Sections 502.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, and 1506.4 of the 2022 California Building Code, Sections R310.1, R313.2, R313.3.5.4 Rand R904.5 of the 2022 California Residential Code, Section 230.70(A)(1) of the 2022 California Electrical Code, and Sections 503, 504.3, 505.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, 2306.2.3, 5601.1.3, 5704.2.9.6, 5706.2.4.4, and 6104.2 of the 2022 California Fire Code.
FINDING 5
That the City of Pismo Beach lies in a coastal climate zone associated with the Pacific Ocean that creates corrosive moisture conditions damaging to exterior building system components supports the imposition of greater fire sprinkler system component requirements than set forth in Section 903.3.10 of the 2022 California Building Code and Section 903.3.10 of the 2022 California Fire Code.

Q. Add new Appendix Section A115 entitled "Administrative Provisions" to read as follows:
SECTION A115 ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
A115.1 Compliance requirements previously established (Ordinance 2010-008). The city’s building stock and records were surveyed to identify buildings within the scope of this chapter, and said building owners were notified of the determination by notice and order sent by certified mail on dated January 11, 1990. The owner of a building within the scope of this chapter shall cause a structural analysis of the building to be made either by California-licensed engineer or architect. The engineer or architect may provide sufficient evidence to establish that the building is not within the scope of this chapter. The structural analysis shall be subject to the approval of the building official and shall be submitted in accordance with the following time limits:
1. By no later than February 1, 2011, a structural analysis and other substantial evidence which demonstrates that the building is not within the scope of this chapter shall be submitted.
2. By no later than February 1, 2011, a structural analysis and plans for alterations required to conform to this chapter shall be submitted.
3. By August 1, 2011, permits for the seismic retrofitting work necessary to achieve conformance with this chapter shall be obtained.
Where compliance with this chapter would displace low- and moderate- income residential uses, the building official may extend special and reasonable consideration to the time limits in this section so as to minimize the displacement of persons.
In order for an owner of a building within the scope of this chapter to comply with this chapter, the following elements shall be made to comply:
1. Unreinforced masonry walls to resist normal and in-plane seismic forces.
2. The anchorage and stability of exterior parapets and ornamentation.
3. The anchorage of unreinforced masonry walls to floors and roof.
4. Floor and roof diaphragms.
5. A complete bracing system to resist earthquake forces.
A115.1.1 Subsequent determinations. Where a building, not otherwise identified in the original inventory of buildings subject to Ordinance 2010- 08, is determined to be within the scope of this chapter, the owner shall structurally alter the building to comply with this chapter within 180 days of receipt of a notice and order, or as otherwise determined by the building official.

A115.2.2 Service of notice and order. A notice or order issued pursuant to this section shall be in writing and shall be served either personally or by certified or registered mail upon the owner as shown on the last equalized assessment roll, and upon the person, if any, in apparent charge or control of the building. The failure of any such person to receive such notice or order shall not affect the validity of any proceedings taken under this chapter or relieve any such person from any duty or obligation imposed on him by the provisions of this chapter.
A115.2.3 Content of notice and order. The notice shall specify that the building has been determined by the building official to be within the scope of this chapter and, therefore, is subject to the minimum seismic standards of this chapter. The order shall direct the owner to obtain a building or demolition permit as required by this chapter and cause the building to be structurally altered to conform to the provisions of this chapter, or cause the building to be demolished. The notice or order shall be accompanied by a copy of Section A115.1 of this code, which sets forth the owner's responsibilities.
A115.3 Appeal. The owner of the building may appeal the building official's initial determination that the building is within the scope of this chapter to the Board of Appeals established by Section 113 of the California Building Code, as adopted. Such appeal shall be filed with the Board within 60 days from the service date of the order described in Section A115.2. Any appeal shall be decided by the Board no later than 90 days after filing and the grounds thereof shall be stated clearly and concisely. Appeals or requests for modifications from any other determinations, orders or actions by the building official pursuant to this chapter shall be made in accordance with the procedures established in Section 104.10 of the California Building Code.
A115.4 Recordation. At the time that the building official serves the aforementioned notice, the building official shall also file and record with the office of the county recorder a certificate stating that the subject building is within the scope of this chapter and is a potentially earthquake hazardous building. The certificate shall also state that the owner thereof will be ordered to structurally analyze the building to determine compliance with this chapter.

A115.5 Enforcement. If the owner in charge or control of the subject building fails to comply with any order issued by the building official pursuant to this chapter within the time limit set forth in Section A115.1, the building official shall verify that the record owner of this building has been properly served. If the order has been served on the record owner, then the following provisions apply:
1. The building official may order that the entire building be vacated and that the building remain vacated until such order has been complied with. If compliance with such order has not been accomplished within 90 days after the date the building has been ordered vacated or such additional time as may have been granted by the Board of Appeals, the building official may order its demolition in accordance with the provisions of Sections 107, 108, 109 and 110 of the International Property Maintenance Code.
2. Any person who violates any provision of this chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor, and is subject to the penalty as provided for in Chapter

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #12.A
SUBJECT/TITLE:
WATER SUPPLY UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Receive an update on the City’s water supply; and
2. Discuss the purchase of additional drought buffer and provide staff with direction on how to proceed.
BACKGROUND:
On November 16, 2021 staff provided an update to the City Council on the City’s water supply and committed to return to the Council at the second meeting every other month to provide an update on the City’s water supply.
The staff report for that meeting can be found in the Access Pismo online public records portal1 or by scanning the QR Code at right.
In response to the worsening drought, the City Council has taken actions to protect the City’s water supply and to encourage conservation. On June 1, 2021, the City Council declared a Moderately Restricted Water Supply Condition via Resolution R-2021-049, on January 18, 2022 the City Council declared a Severely Restricted Water Supply Condition via Resolution R-2022-004, and most recently, the City Council declared a Critical Water Supply Condition via Resolution R-2022-043 and adopted an urgency ordinance enacting a prohibition on the installation of natural turf.
Water Use Restrictions
Section 13.24.060 of the City’s municipal code, which defines a Critical Water Supply Condition, states “In addition to the conditions specified in Section 13.24.050, the city council may impose any water rationing requirement as it deems appropriate to protect public health, safety, welfare, comfort and convenience.” The water use restrictions in section 13.24.050 are:
A. Use of water which causes runoff onto adjacent properties, non-irrigated areas, private and public walkways, roadways, gutters, parking lots, or structures is prohibited.
B. Outdoor water use for washing vehicles, boats, paved surfaces, buildings, and other similar uses shall be attended and have hand-controlled water devices, which shut off the water immediately when not in use.
C. No water shall be used for cleaning driveways, patios, parking lots, sidewalks, streets, or other such uses except as found necessary by the city to protect the public health or safety.
D. Outdoor irrigation
1) Outdoor irrigation is prohibited between the hours of ten a.m. and four p.m.

Packet Page 156
2) Applying water to outdoor landscapes during and within 48 hours after measurable rainfall is prohibited.
3) Irrigation of private and public landscaping, turf areas and gardens is permitted at even-numbered addresses only on Mondays and Thursdays, and at odd-numbered addresses only on Tuesdays and Fridays. All customers are directed to use no more water than necessary to maintain landscaping.
E. Restaurants shall serve drinking water only in response to a specific request by a customer.
F. Using water in a fountain or other decorative water feature, except where the water is part of a recirculating system, is prohibited.
G. Use of potable water for compaction or dust control purposes in construction activities is prohibited.
H. Emptying and refilling swimming pools and commercial spas is prohibited except to prevent structural damage and/or to provide for the public health and safety.
In addition to the above water use restrictions the Council directed the following water use restrictions be imposed:
Water leaks be repaired within 72 hours of notification by the City Extending the prohibited hours for outdoor irrigation from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
No new lawns to be allowed in the City
Other Agencies
Staff has reached out to other local agencies as well as agencies throughout California through the League of California Cities Public Works Department and have found that other municipalities have adopted the following water use restrictions:
Mandatory water reduction based upon 2020 usage
o Amount of reduction ranges from 0% to 30% depending on amount of usage o Irrigation meters must reduce use 25%
o Fines for noncompliance with a one-time “water school” to have the fine dismissed
Landscape irrigation limited to 10 minutes per station on an allowed watering day Outdoor watering limited to one day per week
All pools must be covered when not in use
Mandatory 10% reduction based on 2020 usage
Update on Water Supply
The City’s water supply portfolio is made up of three sources: State Water, Lopez Lake Water, and groundwater from the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin (SMGB).
Santa Maria Groundwater Basin
The SMGB is an adjudicated basin, and the City of Pismo Beach has the right to extract 700 acre-fee per year (AFY) from the basin.
Council Agenda 11-15-2022 12.A-2
Packet Page 157
The NCMA TG has established a “Deep Well Index Threshold” level of 7.5 feet as a level that can induce seawater intrusion into the basin if the basin remains below that level for an extended period of time.
Previous Index Level
Data Collection Date: April 5, 2022
Deep Well Index Level (DWIL): 7.98 feet
0.48 feet above than the Deep Well Index Threshold
Most Current Index Level

DWIL: 5.34 feet
2.64 feet lower than the Deep Well Index Threshold
The current DWIL is 2.64 feet lower than the previous level and 1.91 feet lower than one year ago (January 2021).
Lopez Lake
Lopez Lake is still operating under the Low Reservoir Response Plan (LRRP), and because the level in Lake Lopez is below 15,000 acre-feet (AF) and expected to drop below 10,000 AF, Zone 3 agencies have reduced their entitlements by 20%. The full list of recommended reductions in municipal diversions under the LRRP are shown in Table

The current lake level is 716 AF lower than it was on September 9, 2022.
Current projections show that if the area receives “average rainfall” between now and January of 2023, that storage in the lake will be approximately 10,000 AF in the middle of December 2022, as shown in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: Lopez Reservoir Storage Projections
State Water
There are two components of State Water: Table A allocations and Drought Buffer. “Table A” refers to the amount of water an agency contracts for, while Drought Buffer is an additional allocation that can be delivered when deliveries are set below 100%. The total water delivered (Table A plus Drought Buffer) cannot be more than an agency’s Table A allocation. Further, State Water can be stored, and the amount of storage calculated based upon the total available water (Table A plus Drought Buffer) and the delivery percentage. The City has a contract for 1,240 AFY Table A allocation and 1,240 AFY of Drought Buffer.
On December 1, 2021, the State Department of Water Resources (DWR) set initial 2022 State Water Project (SWP) available supplies on a basis that ensures the SWP long-term water supply contractors can meet their outstanding minimum human health and safety Council Agenda 11-15-2022 12.A-4
Packet Page 159
demands for water (health and safety allocation). This allocation is based on minimum unmet water demands to meet domestic supply, fire protection, and sanitation needs during the year. These health and safety needs are determined to be not more than 55 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), consistent with the recent State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) emergency curtailment regulations. Agencies with stored water, or other sources of water will not receive a SWP delivery at this time.
On January 20, 2022 the DWR increased SWP deliveries to 15%, however on March 18, 2022 the deliveries were reduced to 5% This means that the City of Pismo Beach can expect to receive 62 AF of Table A allocation and 62 AF of Drought Buffer for a total of 124 AF of State Water. However, the County of San Luis Obispo has agreed to make its subcontractors whole, meaning the City can take delivery of 1,240 AF of State Water from the County.
The City’s current water supplies without additional State Water from the County are shown in Table 3, below.

*Santa Maria Groundwater Basin
**In previous reports the City’s Table A water was reported as 1,140 AF, however since the last update to the City Council the City reached a settlement with an outside agency for the return of 100 AF of State Water that was previously sold to the outside agency.
***Drought buffer is an additional allocation of water that can only be delivered when State Water Deliveries are less than 100%. The total amount of State Water delivered including drought buffer cannot exceed 1,240 AF in a given year.
#Lopez Lake is projected to drop below 10,000 AF in December of 2022. At that time allocations from the lake would drop to 80% retroactively, therefore for planning purposes an 80% allocation is assumed.
Taking into account the State Water the County has agreed to deliver to the City of Pismo Beach, the City’s total available water supply is 2,464.4 AF for 2022.

Precipitation
The City’s two local water supplies, Lopez Lake and the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin, are highly dependent on rainfall. Calendar year 2020 saw a significant short fall in precipitation, while 2021 saw only a small surplus of rain. So far, 2022 has proven to be drier than both of the previous years. Rainfall data for these years is shown in Table 4, below.

Options for Drought Mitigation: Purchase Additional Drought Buffer Through State Water
The Department of Water Resources administers long-term water supply contracts to 29 local water agencies for water service from the State Water Project. The County of San Luis Obispo Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) is one of the 29 State Water Contractors with a contract for 25,000 AF of water and has subcontracts with local agencies within San Luis Obispo County. Table 5, below, shows the eleven State Water Subcontractors with the District as well as their Table A and Drought Buffer contracted amounts.

In the past, including this year, the District has used its unsubscribed State Water Allocation and Stored State Water to make its subcontractors whole (i.e. delivered their full Table A allocation) when State Water Deliveries have been low. At the July 8, 2022 State Water Subcontractors Advisory Committee meeting, County staff, representing the District, informed the subcontractors that the District would be announcing by the end of the year a “first right of refusal” to the subcontractors to purchase the District’s unsubscribed allocation. Any portion of the unsubscribed allocation that is not purchased by subcontractors will likely be sold, or otherwise obligated and would not be made available to subcontractors to make them whole in the future.
The District is currently gathering information as to how much, if any, additional State Water each subcontractor would like to add to their portfolio. Once District staff receives requests from each of the subcontractors, it will be able to determine if the full request can be fulfilled, or if requests will need to be modified to accommodate all of the subcontractors’ requests.
Staff has looked at different scenarios of how a portion of the unsubscribed allocation could be put to beneficial use for the City of Pismo Beach and has included two of them in this report for the Council’s consideration.
Option A – Full State Water Allocation at 20% DWR Delivery This option provides for the City of Pismo Beach to take full delivery of the 1,240 AF Table A allocation when deliveries from the State Water Project are set to 20%. This would be achieved by increasing the City’s drought buffer allocation by 3,720 AFY from 1,240 AFY to 4,960 AFY. At a 20% delivery, the City could expect to receive 248 AF of Table A deliveries plus 992 AF of drought buffer for a total delivery of 1,240 AF. The cost of drought buffer is approximately $205/AFY, therefore this option would have a fiscal impact of an additional $762,600 per year to the Water Enterprise Fund.
Council Agenda 11-15-2022 12.A-7
Packet Page 162
Option B – 1,800 AF of Total Water Supply at 20% DWR Delivery The goal of this option is for the City to be able to take delivery of 1,800 AF of water when SWP deliveries are set to 20%. This option assumes that the City can take delivery of 80% of its Lopez Lake deliveries (or 713.6 AFY) and pump 200 AF from the Santa Maria Ground Water Basin. That means the City would need to take delivery of 886.4 AF of State Water. This could be achieved by increasing the City’s drought buffer allocation by 1,952 AFY from 1,240 AFY to 3,192 AFY. This option would have a fiscal impact of an additional $400,160 per year to the Water Enterprise Fund.
When evaluating the available options, State Water Storage must be considered. State Water storage follows a series of equations depending on the delivery percentage. When deliveries are from 0–50%, the maximum storage amount is 25% of the total available water (Table A plus drought buffer). When deliveries are from 51–74%, the maximum storage amount is 25% plus 1% for every point over 50%. Finally, when deliveries are over 74%, the maximum storage amount is 50% of the total available water.
Option A gives a total contracted amount (Table A plus drought buffer) of 6,200 AFY, while Option B gives a total contracted amount of 4,432 AFY. Table 6, below, shows the amount of storage that could be generated from each option under different delivery scenarios

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss the options for increasing State Water Drought Buffer and provide staff with direction on how to proceed. Should the Council direct staff to move forward with increasing State Water Drought Buffer, staff will return at the next available Council meeting with a Resolution to that effect.
FISCAL IMPACT:
An increase to the City’s State Water Drought Buffer would be paid for from the Water Enterprise Funds.
Option A, increasing State Water Drought Buffer to 4,960 AFY would cost an additional $762,600 per year for fiscal years (FY) 2023 through 2026 for a total of $3,050,400.
Option B, increasing State Water Drought Buffer to 3,192 AFY would cost an additional $400,160 per year for FY 2023 to FY 2026, for a total of $1,600,640.
The proposed Water/Wastewater Rate Study includes approximately $379,000 per year for water main replacement as a preventive measure for FY 2023 through FY 2026.
Should the Council direct staff to purchase additional drought buffer, staff recommends postponing this maintenance and using the funds for the additional expenditure associated with the additional drought buffer.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Purchase other quantities of drought buffer.
2. Provide Staff with direction to seek other alternatives for water delivery.
3. Request more information.

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #12.B
SUBJECT/TITLE:
OPTIONS FOR THE PIER AVENUE STAIRS
RECOMMENDATION:
Review options for the Pier Avenue Stairs and provide staff with direction on how to proceed.
BACKGROUND:
The Pier Avenue Stairs have been a fixture of Shell Beach dating back to the 1970s.
Records of the construction of the stairs are no longer available; however, based upon historic photographs from the California Coastal Records Project1, it appears the stairs date back to at least May of 1979 and possibly as far back as 1972. This means that the stairs are 40 or more years old, and are nearing or past the end of their design service life. The City has regularly maintained the stairs, including a significant repair project in August of 2005.
The Pier Avenue Stairs provided access to approximately 800 feet of coastline within an isolated pocket beach, extending from the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Windward Avenue to the north, to the tip of Margo Dodd Park to the south.
On October 26, 2021, the City closed the stairway due to a lower bluff failure caused by storm activity, which left a portion of the third landing (from the top down) unsupported and hanging in space. In addition, it appears the storm sheared the supports of the bottom section of the stairs from their footings. With the closure of the Pier Avenue Stairs, there is no beach access south of Boeker Avenue until the beach access located at the Inn at the Cove, which is approximately a half-mile walk from Margo Dodd Park.
Staff retained the services of ENGEO Incorporated (ENGEO), formerly TerraCosta Consulting Group, Inc., to inspect the stairs and adjacent bluff and to make recommendations to restore beach access in this part of Shell Beach.
In its report (Attachment 1), ENGEO noted several portions of the coastal bluffs that are experiencing erosion, including a sea cave, previously noted by staff, that extends under the shoulder of Ocean Boulevard near the intersection with Windward Avenue. ENGEO also noted that the existing seawall protecting the bluff near Margo Dodd Park is in critical need of maintenance to reduce the risk of accelerating the loss of public resources and access, including potentially a portion of Ocean Boulevard.

Packet Page 166
Options for Repair/Replacement of the Pier Avenue Stairs ENGEO examined the existing conditions of the bluff from Windward Avenue to Margo Dodd Park, the available parking along the bluff top and anticipated future site conditions, taking into account sea level rise and developed the following options.
Option 1 – Temporary Repairs to Existing Stairway, $1,500,000 This option includes the minimum interim temporary repairs to reopen the Pier Avenue Stairs to the public. The project includes the installation of a 4-foot-diameter concrete pier extending from the middle of the partially-unsupported third landing down into the shore platform bedrock. This would require the removal of the third landing and the installation of temporary shoring of the second and third flight of stairs.
The anticipated cost of this project is $1,500,000 and does not include repair of the lower stainless steel foundations or any Building Code-required upgrades, nor does it include repairs to the sea wall near Margo Dodd Park.
Because the rest of the staircase is past its useful life and may need to be rebuilt within 3–5 years in its entirety, in addition to the cost of this repair, staff does not recommend this option.
Option 2 – Replace Stairway within Existing Alignment, $2,350,000 This option includes the installation of new, deepened foundations at all of the landings and an entirely new stairway system. The new deepened foundations would provide long- term survivability of the stairway as additional erosion and bluff failures continue to reduce the size of the existing headland that currently supports the stairway. ENGEO provided the option for a solid pedestrian parapet on the bottom section of stairs, similar to the Memory Park Stairs, or an open pedestrian parapet with the installation of either real or faux rocks at or slightly above the High Tide Line to dissipate wave energy within the cove.
The anticipated cost of this project is $2,350,000 and does not include repairs to the seawall near Margo Dodd Park. While this option results in a new staircase, the staircase is vulnerable to wave energy and further erosion, and it does not protect the bluff from further erosion.
Option 3 – New Stairway with Beach Access from Margo Dodd Park, $4,800,000 Option 3 involves construction of a new public beach access stairway near the entrance to Margo Dodd Park. The new stairway would be incorporated into the Margo Dodd seawall repairs and outlet onto the beach immediately upcoast and behind the existing headland having two existing sea caves. Moving the stairs to Margo Dodd Park also has the advantage of approximately 30 more parking spaces in close proximity.
The beach at this location is relatively narrow, but it is less exposed to direct wave energy than the existing landing of the Pier Avenue Stairs. However, the adjacent steep bluff is vulnerable to collapse and therefore it is recommended that additional bluff scaling be performed to create a buffer for the bottommost stairway landing. This project also Packet Page 167
includes the infilling of the two sea caves to maximize public safety and revitalize the natural protection to the bottom section of the proposed stairway.
The anticipated cost of this project is $4,800,000 and includes the repair of the existing seawall, sea caves and stabilization, by scaling and laying back the steep bluff near the bottom section of the stairs.
Option 4 – New Stairway with Beach Access from Palisade Avenue, $5,200,000 This final option is similar to Option 3, however the entrance to the new stairway would start across from Palisade Avenue instead of at Margo Dodd Park. This option calls for the stairway to be built on-grade. One possible advantage of this option is that the upper portion of the stairway would provide a more gradual and natural descent down the upper portion of the bluff, providing a more visually and physically comfortable user experience when compared to Option 3. However, this option also has the disadvantage of the entrance not being as favorable for accommodating congregating when compared with the Margo Dodd Park access.
The anticipated cost of this option is $5,200,000.
Option 5 – Removal of the Existing Stairway, $430,000
Staff also prepared an estimate to remove the existing stairs and restore the beach and bluff. This project would be anticipated to cost $430,000.
Exploring Potential Partnerships
In addition to making repairs to the stairway and bluff area, there are also bluff issues and a need to repair drainage at the end of Cliff Ave. Including this work in the project would be advisable for a complete repair of the bluff area along Ocean Boulevard and could increase total repair costs to $10-15 million dollars. In this instance, the City may wish to pursue partnerships with other state and federal agencies to bring in additional dollars and technical assistance to the project. The City has partnered with the Army Corps of Engineers in the past on a CAP 103 project to build the stairs and protect the lift station in the St. Andrews Tract. Due to the significant cost of these projects, the City Council may wish to direct staff to pursue partnerships like these before determining which option to proceed with.
Conclusion and Recommendation
The Pier Avenue Stairs are currently unusable and could be a hazard to public health and safety should the public not obey the closure signs. Staff recommends that the City Council discuss options for the Pier Avenue Stairs and provide staff with direction on how to proceed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of the Pier Avenue Stairs depends on which option is implemented.
These potential costs range from $430,000 to $5,200,000, which would need to be supported by the General Fund. Depending on the option chosen and the cost, it is likely Packet Page 168
that Council will need to consider delaying or reducing other planned projects. Staff would come back to Council to appropriate the funds.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Do not provide direction at this time.
2. Request more information.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
Dear Mr. Eldridge:
We are pleased to present the following alternatives analysis for repairing, replacing, and/or creating additional points of public beach access in the vicinity of the Pier Avenue Stairs, located near the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Pier Avenue in Pismo Beach, California. Our alternatives analysis is based upon our preliminary site reconnaissance performed with you on October 29, 2021, our more thorough site reconnaissance performed on March 27, 2022, our review of freely available historic imagery of the project site area, and our work on other nearby projects having similar geotechnical and marine characteristics. This includes our 40+ years of experience associated with designing, permitting, and constructing these types of specialty coastal projects. Provided below is a discussion of the background, geologic setting, existing site conditions, anticipated future site conditions, stairway alternatives, and preliminary construction cost estimates for each stairway alternative.
BACKGROUND
Based on our review of the historic photographs available on the California Coastal Records Project website ( www.californiacoastline.org) , we believe some version of the Pier Avenue public access stairway may have existed in May of 1979, and possibly as far back as 1972. However, the quality and resolution of these early photographs make it difficult to determine the year in which the beach access stairway was established. Minimally, we would suggest that the stairway may now be approximately 40+ years in age (nearing its design service life). However, the stairway also appears to have been regularly maintained and had significant repairs completed in August 2005, based on our review of the City-provided Garing Taylor & Associates as-built plans.
While a majority of the stairway’s treads are now pressure-treated timbers, a number of the original concrete treads still exist within the upper two flights of the stairway. The hand railings and balusters within the upper three flights are painted galvanized steel (upper approximately 80%), while the hand railings and balusters within the lowest flight (lower approximately 20%) are stainless steel, designed as a result of being located more proximally to the corrosive wave impact zone.
On October 26, 2021, the stairway was closed due to a lower bluff failure (resulting from storm damage) that left a portion of the third landing (from the top down) unsupported and hanging in Council Agenda 11-15-2022 12.B-1

space (Photo 1, Figure A1 in Appendix A). In addition, the storm appears to have damaged the lowest flight of the stairway (the stainless steel section), which is now bent and sheared from two of its footings, slightly shifting the bottom alignment of the stairway landward (Photo 2, Figure A1).
During our two site visits, we also observed spalling concrete and exposed rebar within many of the existing shallow footings (Photo 3, Figure A1), corrosion of the painted galvanized steel railings and balusters in the upper three flights (Photo 4, Figure A1), and spalling concrete in a majority of the original treads (Photo 5, Figure A1), including loose screws and graffiti along the stringers of the lowest flight (Photo 6, Figure A1).
With respect to coastal access in this general area, the closure of the Pier Avenue stairway, accompanied by the closure of the Morro Avenue stairway in October 2015 (also due to storm damage), currently leaves approximately 1.2 miles of coastline inaccessible to the public between the next two closest beach access stairways located at Vista del Mar Avenue and the privately owned Inn at the Cove (Vicinity Map, Figure 1). Given the relatively tall bluff along this section of coastline, which further limits beach access and also intensifies and concentrates public use at the few available remaining access locations, it is no surprise that the public has been regularly observed circumventing the closure barriers/warnings and continuing to use the stairway despite its aged and damaged condition, making it apparent that additional points of public beach access are needed in this region. Exhibit 1 provides a view of the lower portion of the stairway, and exemplifies the potential danger that the stairway presents to beachgoers.
Recognizing the significant public use of the area (via official and unofficial means) and the California Coastal Commission’s goals of providing vertical public beach access along the coastline at an approximately 500-foot interval (where feasible), temporarily repairing the existing access and, for the long term, providing additional public access alternatives would aid in dispersing concentrated public use along what is currently about a 1.2-mile gap between the limited number of available points of public beach access.

GEOLOGIC SETTING
The Pier Avenue stairway provides access to an approximately 800-foot stretch of coastline within an isolated pocket beach, extending from the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Windward Avenue at the upcoast end of the cove, to the western tip of Margo Dodd Park at the downcoast end of the cove (Figure 2). The entrance to the stairway sits atop an approximately 40-foot-tall coastal bluff that is part of the gently southwesterly sloping coastal terrace between the Pacific Ocean shoreline and the lower foothills of the San Luis Range in the Coast Ranges geologic and geomorphic province.
Structurally, the project area is situated on the southwesterly flank of a long synclinal (concave) fold with a northwest/southeast-trending axis of the Pismo Syncline (Figure 3). This major structural feature (estimated to be 4- to 5-miles wide and 25± miles long) was formed, along with associated faulting, during a long period of regional tectonic activity and continued to grow throughout most of Miocene and Pliocene time, thus creating the Pismo Depositional Basin, which extends from Arroyo Grande on the southeast to coastal Point Buchon on the northwest.
Our review of California Geological Survey’s Special Publication 42 indicates that the coastal bluff along Ocean Boulevard is not located within or crossed by a State-delineated Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones are typically delineated along active faults. An active fault is defined as one that has “had surface displacement within Holocene time” (approximately the last 11,000 years). At the top of the coastal bluff at the Pier Avenue stairs, the cove area is underlain by late Pleistocene-age marine terrace deposits consisting of beach and nearshore sands and gravels covered by alluvium and colluvium. Underlying these deposits is an older emergent wave-cut shore platform that has been regionally uplifted (tilted and folded), and locally consists of Miocene-age Obispo Formation. The Obispo Formation is predominantly comprised of yellow to brown tuffacous siltstone and claystone. The Obispo Formation is the predominant relatively resistant basal cliff-forming unit that is observed and mapped locally along this section of coastline and, more importantly, is within the tidal/wave impact zone. When this unit is exposed to wave energy over time, the folded broken up and softer layers within the unit slowly erode, leading to surge channel development, overhanging notches, sea caves, and eventually roof collapse with upper-bluff failures eventually extending up through the terrace deposits. An example of this long-term geologic process can be seen at the nearby Dinosaur Caves Park with its multitude of sea caves that are in various stages of growth and collapse, which can be sudden and may not necessarily coincide with a storm event. It is also worth noting that this geology (tilted bedding), coupled with marine-based erosion occurring along the toe of bluff, contributes to the ominous nature of the locally overhanging bluffs, particularly at the bottom landing of the Pier Avenue stairway, which should be addressed to mitigate potential public safety issues.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
On October 29, 2021, just a few days after the lower bluff failure occurred at the Pier Avenue stairway, we performed a preliminary site reconnaissance with you. We observed the clearly visible unsupported third landing. However, the high tide and rough surf conditions at the time did not allow for an in-depth evaluation. To perform a more thorough observation of the stairway and the entire Pier Avenue beach area in which alternative public access could be implemented, we performed an additional site reconnaissance on March 27, 2022, and again on May 18, 2022, both during tidal lows. The following subsections discuss the existing Pier Avenue cove area Council Agenda 11-15-2022 12.B-3

Exhibit 2 provides an oblique aerial view in 2018 of the region upcoast of the Pier Avenue stairway.
EXHIBIT 2: View of Region Upcoast of the Pier Avenue Stairway (Source: Shell Beach Coastal Conservancy Preserve, Steve Perry, February 2018)
The furthest point upcoast within the cove is defined by a northwesterly trending, developing sea cave and two northerly wave-cut notches (Photos 7 and 8, Figure A2), the approximate landward limits of which are depicted below on Exhibit 3, and is essentially where public parking along the seaward side of Ocean Blvd begins. Notably, we estimate that there are currently approximately 15 parallel parking spaces (9’x22’) between Windward Avenue and the Pier Avenue Stairway, and another 30 potential parking spaces downcoast of the stairway towards Margo Dodd Park and Cliff Avenue, suggesting this stairway handles significant pedestrian traffic, including kayaking and youth day camp field trips to the area.

The northwest portion of this large section of overhanging bluff currently extends approximately 35 feet horizontally beneath the top-of-bluff (and the adjacent unimproved roadway shoulder).
The two adjacent notches currently extend horizontally between approximately 10 and 15 feet beneath the top-of-bluff. The supporting roof material currently consists of 20± feet of a relatively thick section of the Obispo Formation. While this area is not presently a concern, the roof rock thickness should continue to be monitored for potential future loss of the existing relatively thick roof rock section. Based on rough order of magnitude field measurements, the distance between Ocean Boulevard and the top-of-bluff in this area ranges from 25 to 30 feet. Our review of California Coastal Records Project ( www.californiacoastline.org) aerial photographs dating back to 1972 (Image 7227066, Image 7940042, Image 8708072, Image 8910119, Image 2356, Image 200403918, Image 200510183, Image 201007243, Image 201317456, Image 201503102, Image 201902554) suggests this overhanging bluff area has existed for at least the past 50 years. The 2002 California Coastal Records Project photographs, which are of higher quality than many of the earlier historical photographs, also suggest that only a couple feet of erosion may have occurred in this area over the last 20 years. This is in stark contrast to the 20 to 30 feet of documented erosion that has occurred in other nearby regions of the Pismo/Shell Beach area over the last 20 years. At this location, it is our opinion that this localized lower erosion rate is likely attributable to the relatively consistent presence of many large nearshore formational outcrops within the shore platform that help dissipate wave energy originating from both the north and south.
As we move downcoast from this overhanging bluff area, there are three distinct northeasterly trending erosional features (nooks/recesses) within the bluff and back beach immediately upcoast Council Agenda 11-15-2022 12.B-5

of the Pier Avenue stairway (Photos 9 through 12, Figure A2). Based on our review of the offshore bathymetry, aerial imagery, and geologic maps, we infer that there likely exists a relatively small nearshore localized depression in the bedrock shore platform allowing increased wave energy from the south/southwest, locally increasing erosion within the Obispo Formation (see Exhibit 4).
The increased wave energy within the depicted westerly corridor is likely contributing to the overhanging bluff condition previously discussed and shown on Exhibit 3, along with the nook/recess development and erosion in the vicinity of the Pier Avenue stairway. Horizontal depth measurements of the southerly two (larger) nooks/recesses are approximately 60 to 70 feet landward from the adjacent headlands. Our review of the available aerial imagery suggests these features may have advanced tens of feet landward over the last 50 years. Along the top-of-bluff, there is approximately 10 feet between the Ocean Boulevard curb, just above the middle nook/recess, which then descends to beach level at an approximately 1/2:1 (H:V) gradient. At the nook/recess immediately upcoast from the Pier Avenue stairway, there is approximately 13 feet between the Ocean Boulevard curb and the top-of-bluff (which is reduced to approximately 5 feet from the top-of-bluff if you include the shoulder parking area). From the top-of-bluff, this nook/recess descends at a near-vertical slope down to beach level. It should also be noted that a storm drain outfall pipe and top-of-bluff concrete headwall existed in this nook/recess until about 2005, which may have been rerouted/abandoned. Overall, the City should anticipate that these nooks/recesses will continue to expand (growing landward and laterally), and will eventually threaten both Ocean Boulevard and the Pier Avenue Stairway.

Currently, the Pier Avenue Stairway is located on a headland that extends approximately 80-feet seaward of Ocean Boulevard. Due to the overall height and topography of the bluff, the stairway Council Agenda 11-15-2022 12.B-6

is comprised of a circuitous series of four flights and five landings, shown in Exhibit 5), and where the overall alignment takes advantage of the existing topography, to descend down the face of the bluff. Additionally, there exists a lower-bluff shelf within the Obispo Formation in which Landing 3 is founded, which is now partially unsupported due to the bluff collapse that occurred on October 26, 2021 (forcing the City to close the stairway). Based on our site visits and review of readily available historical imagery, we estimate that approximately 8 feet of erosion/bluff loss occurred during this single event. We believe that the failure is also associated with the presence of a relatively small sea cave that is located directly beneath the landing. Post-collapse, the remaining portion of the sea cave is now on the order of 6’x6’x6’ (LxWxH), noting that the mid-interior of the cave balloons to approximately 12 feet in width. Coastal Records 2002 image 2356 provides historic context of the stairway, landings, geologic site conditions (including the lower-bluff shelf), and the sea cave almost 20 years prior to the recent bluff collapse.
EXHIBIT 5: Existing Condition - Pier Avenue Stairway (Image Source: Nearmap, July 3, 2021)
With respect to the current stairway alignment and bottommost landing, we believe it has been as optimally located as possible given the need to strike a balance between the two main potential public safety issues (i.e., rockfall and wave impacts). Historically, it has withstood continued erosion and the developing steepening and overhanging bluff condition within this overall beach area. In the future, the coastal bluffs around this isolated pocket beach will continue to steepen, requiring ongoing scaling of the bluffs. With any additional loss of sand or sea level rise, there is also a narrowing of the beach face, forcing the public closer to the coastal bluffs.

As mentioned previously, we estimate that there exists double the available parking in this area on the downcoast side of the Pier Avenue stairway, approximately 30 parallel parking spaces (9’x22’) along the seaward side of Ocean Boulevard, adjacent to Margo Dodd Park, and ending near the intersection of Cliff Avenue, making it an approximately 1,000-foot trek to the beach below. While not a significant distance, it is the likely impetus contributing to the numerous unofficial goat paths that have developed over the years around Margo Dodd Park and along the top of the Margo Dodd seawall. Arguably, the area along the top of the seawall is attractive for fishing and exploration, and we have regularly observed visitors in these areas during our site visits over the years.
EXHIBIT 6: View of Region Upcoast of the Pier Avenue Stairway. Orange arrow points to recent bluff failure discussed below (Source: Shell Beach Coastal Conservancy Preserve, Steve Perry, February 2018)
Our review of the bluff between the existing CMP storm drain outfall pipe (located approximately 85 feet southeast of the Pier Avenue stairway) and the downcoast end of the Margo Dodd seawall suggests that only a few feet of erosion has occurred over the last 20 years. However, the bluff face in this region has become noticeably steeper over the last 50 years. Typically, an oversteepening of the coastal bluff eventually leads to episodic increased bluff failures and landward migration of the top-of-bluff. This is exemplified where the orange arrow is shown on Exhibit 6, where a sizeable bluff failure occurred in between two of our site visits in the absence of any large storms. Presently, the distance between Ocean Boulevard and the top-of-bluff in this area ranges between 30 and 55 feet.
Immediately upcoast of the Margo Dodd seawall, there exists a westerly extending headland with two sea caves that we used to access the front face of the wall (Photos 13 through 16, Figure A3). The larger, more landward sea cave is approximately 24-feet long in the north-south direction, ranges from 20- to 32-feet long in the east-west direction, and ranges from 4 to 9 feet in height, while the smaller, more seaward sea cave is approximately 17-feet long in the north- south direction, ranges from 6- to 27-feet long in the east-west direction, and ranges from 4 to 6 feet in height.

Based on our review of the City-provided background information associated with the Margo Dodd seawall, our understanding is as follows:
1. The seawall is an existing approximately 150-foot-long by 21-foot-tall wall (18-feet tall with an average 3-foot concrete keyway) located immediately upcoast from Margo Dodd Park.
2. While there exists very little information to review pertaining to the age and design of the original triangular-shaped multi-tiered concrete gravity mass seawall, the documentation suggests erosion and wave overtopping were of concern to both a resident (428 Ocean Boulevard ) and the City in the late 1980s.
3. Mr. Fred Schott was retained to design an approximately 8-foot-tall wall extension that was constructed atop the original triangular mass, circa 1991. This repair primarily consisted of placing a thin wearing surface or architectural cladding over the front face of the existing triangular mass, adding a 7’8”-tall by 1’3”-thick wall extension with wave deflector, thereby increasing the overall wall height, and constructing a series of shallow counterforts with footings along the landward side of the wall extension spaced roughly 20 to 28 feet apart. Negating the tiedowns and doweling into existing concrete or formation that is a signature of Mr. Schott’s designs, these counterforts and footings do not extend (vertically) lower than the top-of-tier of the original triangular gravity mass.
4. Circa 1993, Mr. Dennis Schallenberger with Earth Systems Consultants performed a site reconnaissance to observe a developing erosional void behind the southern wall end and recommended filling the void with slurry. However, it is not clear from the documentation (and our recent site visits) if this infilling actually occurred.
5. In early February 1998, Mr. Schallenberger and Mr. Rick Gorman (both with Earth Systems Consultants) performed another site reconnaissance to observe a much larger void developing in the same area along the southern end of the wall, which revealed several interconnected caves. At the time, they opined that collapsed formational blocks from the outer cave would form a pile near the entrance of the inner cave, forming a protective barrier that reduced the potential for future erosion. However, their recommendations also describe a series of steps for repairing the void in the wall to mitigate additional surficial slope failures that could eventually propagate further into the park near the gazebo. Again, based on our review of the provided information and our site visits, it is not clear if these repairs were completed.
Regardless of whether or not the suggested 1993 and 1998 erosional maintenance infill repairs were completed, it has been 30 years since the Fred Schott wall extension was completed. Given our contemporary review of the nearshore and offshore environment in this region (e.g., wave exposure depicted on Exhibit 4), it is our opinion that this approximately 150-foot-long seawall and the adjacent geologic outcrops (Photos 17 and 18, Figure A4) continue to provide vital protection to the coastal bluff, Margo Dodd Park, and the Ocean Boulevard corridor, and equally important, preserve public access and recreational opportunities along this scenic section of Pismo Beach. Today, based on our assessment of this wall, it is our opinion that it is time to perform critically needed maintenance or risk accelerating the loss of these public resources and a portion of the roadway. This is based on the following observations:

1. The 3-foot-thick concrete keyway (original triangular gravity mass wall) at the toe of the seawall is now notched and scoured, and no longer in intimate contact with the underlying formational shore platform laterally along the wall in numerous locations, with some of these voids extending as much as 6.5-feet deep from the seaward face of the concrete keyway, and others typically on the order of 2.5 feet in depth (Photo 19, Figure A4).
2. At the downcoast end of the seawall, a sea cave extends under Margo Dodd Park, wrapping around and behind the wall, which opens up to a large void where extensive piping (soil loss) of the wall backfill has occurred (Photo 20, Figure A4). While it is unclear if this area has been previously repaired, it is apparent from the historical imagery that there exists regular uncontrolled public use of the area, as noted by the presence of orange construction fencing visible in the 2002 California Coastal Records Project photographs ( www.californiacoastline.org , Image 2357). This construction fencing was likely installed in the vicinity of the top-of-wall to alert the public using the unofficial access to the presence of the developing void.
3. More recently, possibly sometime in 2019 or later, an additional void began to develop behind the middle section of the seawall (Photos 21 and 22, Figure A4). The location of this void is directly above a 6.5-foot-deep (horizontal) void extending beneath the concrete keyway at the bottom of the original triangular gravity mass wall. As these voids continue to extend landward beyond the more resilient concrete face and into the weaker formation, erosion from wave energy accelerates, eventually leading to the observed slumping and collapse of the fill soils above/behind the Fred Schott repairs.
4. Beyond the downcoast end of the seawall, a southwesterly trending headland extends from the western end of Margo Dodd Park. The headland has a number of developing sea caves and notches, varying between 4 and 12 feet in depth from the dripline. Based on our review of historic photographs, it is difficult to determine if these sea caves have experienced significant growth over the last 50 years.
Overall, and regardless of the alternatives or additional beach access locations that the City ultimately decides upon, it is our opinion that this seawall should be made a priority for rehabilitation as soon as feasible to help preserve its vital function. Also, and in consideration of the type of repairs that would be involved, including contractor ingress/egress and staging and phasing (disturbance footprint), it is our opinion that this repair work would be an ideal opportunity for the City to add formal public beach access in the vicinity of Margo Dodd Park for the following reasons:
1. There exists double the amount of available parking opportunities downcoast and nearer the Margo Dodd Park seawall, and the public already navigates a number of unofficial, and arguably unsafe, bluff-top paths to access this area, further legitimizing the need for developing additional official access in this location.
2. It would facilitate achieving the previously discussed goals of the California Coastal Commission to provide public beach access at regular intervals along the coastline.
3. While arguably a maintenance project, adding a public access component to the repair work should help facilitate regulatory approvals needed to repair the wall.

4. Enhances the attributes and functionality of Margo Dodd Park.
5. Access along the top of the Margo Dodd seawall would provide a long and wide intermediate bluff landing that may be an attractive alternative to the steep, narrow, and circuitous Pier Avenue stairway, and may be more desirable for kayak/paddle board portage, where there exists a larger available staging area at the top-of-bluff in the park.
6. Adding a walkway with a pedestrian parapet and wave deflector also enhances the wall for wave overtopping and sea level rise, providing improved protection for the fill slope above the wall and Ocean Boulevard.
ANTICIPATED FUTURE SITE CONDITIONS
Past and possible future changes in mean sea level (MSL) are of interest in design and planning for coastal projects, with the subject beach access stairway project being no exception. Global mean sea level rose at least 300 feet, and perhaps as much as 400 feet, during the past 18,000 years or so (CLIMAP, 1976). Exhibit 7 shows the relative sea level trend observed at the Port San Luis Tide Gauge from 1945 to 2021. These data are routinely tabulated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as part of their national tide gauging program (Flick et al., 2003). The sea level trend from 1945 through 2021 has been relatively linear over the past century, with the relative sea level trend of 0.97 mm per year equivalent to a change of 0.32 foot in 100 years.
EXHIBIT 7: Relative Sea Level Trend for Port San Luis, 1945-2021 (Source: NOAA, 2021).
While mean sea level rise (MSLR) has increased linearly at a relatively slow rate over the past century, it is generally concluded that MSLR will likely accelerate along the California coast over the next few decades (OPC, 2018). The Ocean Protection Council’s (OPC’s) 2018 update to the State of California Sea-Level Rise Guidance document offers a new strategy for presenting MSLR trajectories as functions of emission scenarios as well as probability of occurrence. For example, for Port San Luis, the low-emissions 2100 endpoint value of 1.3 feet of MSLR has a 50 percent chance of being exceeded, while the corresponding high-emissions 2100 endpoint is 2.1 feet. For additional perspective, the low-emissions 2100 MSLR value has a 66 percent chance of rising between 0.7 and 2.1 feet, while the high-emissions range suggests 1.3 to 3.1 feet. Notably, there is a 5 percent chance that MSLR will be 2.9 feet (low) or 4.1 feet (high) by 2100, and a 0.5 percent chance of 5.4 feet (low) or 6.7 feet (high). Finally, the extreme scenario postulates 9.9 feet MSLR by 2100 in case of rapid Antarctic ice loss (see Exhibit 8).

Minimally, it should be anticipated that any increase in sea level will result in increased rates of coastal erosion and a narrowing of the available beach. While annualized erosion rates for the subject area over the past 20 years appear to be on the order of 0.1 to 0.2 foot per year, we anticipate that erosion rates may double over the next few decades, particularly given the observed steepening of the bluff face.
Given the preceding, we have developed the following stairway alternatives for the City’s use in the further evaluation of providing and maintaining coastal access to this heavily utilized area.
PIER AVENUE STAIRWAY ALTERNATIVES
Option 1 – Temporary Repairs to Existing Stairway
Option 1 involves implementing the minimum interim temporary repair measures necessary to reopen the Pier Avenue stairway to the public (Figure 4). The most significant component of this repair consists of installing a single 4-foot-diameter, steel-reinforced concrete pier extending from the middle of the partially unsupported third landing down into the underlying shore platform bedrock. Logistically, this likely involves temporarily shoring in-place the second and third flight of stairs before detaching/dismantling the third landing; excavating and scaling approximately 20 feet of overhanging fractured and loose formational material within the mid-bluff shelf to create a clear unobstructed vertical space and a safe work area; placing a reinforcing cage into the drilled hole; placing a sonotube up to within a couple feet of the bottom of the landing; pumping concrete; and subsequently structurally connecting the landing to the new pier.
The City should also:
1. Preemptively excavate/scale and lay back the surrounding tall bluff above the bottommost Landing 5 and Flights 3 and 4, and repair the storm-displaced existing lower stainless steel flight with new foundations.
2. Have our structural engineer observe the condition of the structural connections at each of the flights and landings to determine if any other maintenance repairs should be completed as part of this work.
3. Determine if any other code upgrades become necessary as part of completing interim repairs.
Given the age of the overall structure it might be prudent to also consider installing drilled piers at Landings 4 and 5 in lieu of reattaching the bent flight to the existing shallow foundations for the interim.
Option 2 – Replace Stairway within Existing Alignment
Option 2 involves new deepened foundations at all of the landings and an entirely new stairway system that could consist of a combination of either stainless steel or possibly FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) at the top of the bluff, and transitioning to reinforced concrete (with a solid parapet and wave deflector) when the flights and landings descend below approximately elevation 30 feet NAVD 88 within the wave runup and impact zone. The deepened foundations are intended to provide long-term survivability of the stairway access as additional erosion and bluff failures Council Agenda 11-15-2022 12.B-13

ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS Page 14
continue to reduce the size of the existing headland in which the stairway currently rests. While FRP has clear advantages for corrosion resistance, lower cost, and lightweight properties, we cannot endorse implementing FRP within the wave impact zone due to longshore transient sediment abrasion issues. Additionally, it remains uncertain to us if FRP implemented above the wave impact zone would withstand the intense public use of this area (e.g., top rail being used as a sliding surface to help portage heavy plastic kayaks down to the beach).
While we generally prefer to not have an open railing surface within the wave impact zone, the existing robust stainless steel (Flight 4) has performed well at this location, suggesting the continued use of robust stainless steel. Also, and in lieu of having a solid concrete pedestrian parapet with a wave deflector within the wave impact zone, this option could include strategically placing a couple of 8-ton rocks or faux carved and colorized concrete rocks embedded into the formational shore platform at or slightly above the High Tide Line (6.85 feet NAVD 88; Exhibit 9), possibly mitigating the need for a solid parapet, but also allowing the existing bottom landing to remain aligned in the current position. Also, these real or fake rocks would benefit the area by dissipating wave energy within the cove and protect anyone caught unaware in the wave runup zone near the bottom landing.
EXHIBIT 9: Example of faux rocks we have designed and implemented at a limited- access site to reduce wave energy impacting a nearby walkway, Sunset Cliffs area, San Diego (Source: ENGEO, April 2022)
Note that we only recommend the implementation of faux rocks for limited access sites when it is cost-prohibitive to mobilize large equipment needed to place so few rocks. Given that a crane would likely be needed for the minimum repairs, and that pumped concrete is also a component of the work, the City has the option for either real or faux rocks should this be desired for the Pier Avenue stairway. Negating cost comparisons, the faux rocks may be more desirable in that they can be in-situ custom-shaped for the appropriate anchorage and wave baffling effect, and would Council Agenda 11-15-2022 12.B-14

also blend in with the surrounding natural formational outcrops. Otherwise, large rocks that would be obtained from a quarry and placed with a crane should likely be hand-selected for similar favorable attributes. Option 2 also renews the service life of the stairway on the order of 40+ years with regular maintenance.
With either option, there is still a concern over public safety. If the landings are located or rotated toward the back beach, then additional stabilization measures will likely be necessary to mitigate rockfall and bluff collapse. With regard to opening handrails in the presence of kelp wrack and debris (which can accumulate on an open railing system), high wave loads on this accumulated debris can destroy the railing system. Recognizing that these loads can be very high, we have determined that solid concrete parapets in the lower flights are preferred to help mitigate both the wave impact safety hazard and reduce the available surface area in which kelp and debris can attach/accumulate. That is not to say that we believe the existing stainless steel lower flight needs to be replaced, as it appears to have performed well in this environment despite being bent and dislocated from the footings. However, this recent damage illustrates the high periodic wave forces acting on these structures.
MARGO DODD PARK AND SEAWALL STAIRWAY ALTERNATIVES
Option 3 – New Stairway with Beach Access from Margo Dodd Park
Option 3 involves construction of an additional public beach access stairway downcoast of Pier Avenue near the entrance of Margo Dodd Park (Figure 6). The stairway would be incorporated into the previously discussed Margo Dodd seawall repairs, and outlet onto the beach immediately upcoast and behind the existing headland having two existing sea caves (Exhibit 10).

EXHIBIT 10: Stairway Landing Area, Options 3 and 4, prior to bluff failure - arrows point to approximate area (Source: ENGEO, March 27, 2022)
While the beach at this location is relatively narrow, it is less exposed to direct wave energy when compared to the exposure at the Pier Avenue stairway, as shown previously on Exhibit 4.
However, the adjacent steep formational bluff is vulnerable to collapse, as shown on Exhibit 11.
Although there has been a bluff failure at this location, we would recommend that additional bluff scaling is still warranted, particularly to create a buffer for the bottommost stairway landing originating from the top of the repaired Margo Dodd seawall. With the introduction of a stairway over the unofficial trail, we would also recommend infilling of the two sea caves within this headland to minimize public safety/nuisance issues, and also to revitalize the natural protection to the bottom section of the stairway shown on Figure 6.

To rehabilitate the seawall and incorporate a stairway and walking path, we would suggest the following measures (as conceptually shown on Figures 6 and 7):
1. Filling the voids along the front face of the existing wall beneath the keyway and bedrock shore platform with an estimated 30 cubic yards of pumpable 3-sack slurry or controlled low strength material (CLSM).
2. Sawcutting, demolishing, and removing the existing wave deflector atop the 1991 Fred Schott wall repairs.
3. Placing approximately 275 cubic yards of a 5,000 psi shotcrete tied-back structural skin over both the original triangular mass concrete gravity wall and the Fred Schott repairs, keyed into the formational shore platform a minimum of 2 feet, and extending vertically above the top of the existing wall an additional 5 feet to form a new parapet and wave deflector (see Figure 7). At this time, we estimate that this would likely include two rows of tiebacks spaced 10 feet on center, horizontally and vertically, over the entire length of the existing wall (approximately 150 feet), totaling 30 tiebacks.
4. Placing approximately 165 cubic yards of 12-inch-thick carved and colorized architectural sculptor coating over the structural skin.
5. Infilling the existing sea cave at the downcoast end of the wall with an estimated 20 cubic yards of pumpable 3-sack slurry or CLSM. This includes removal of all transient sand and loose cobble from the floor of the sea cave (to be left on the beach) prior to infilling.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS Page 18
Depending upon contractor means and methods, work to infill the sea cave may also require temporary shoring of the outside face of the sea cave to allow for worker safety.
6. Backfilling and compacting the large void behind the downcoast end of the seawall with on the order of 100 to 150 cubic yards of 3-sack slurry or CLSM, along with the small void behind the middle portion of the seawall with approximately 10 cubic yards of 3-sack slurry or CLSM.
7. Infilling the larger, more landward sea cave associated with the westerly extending headland at the upcoast end of the seawall with an estimated 150 cubic yards of 3-sack slurry or CLSM. We would also recommend including integral color or applying an architecturally carved and colorized surface to any exposed faces of the slurry or CLSM to blend the appearance with the adjacent natural formational outcrops. This would include infilling the smaller, more seaward sea cave associated with the westerly trending headland with an estimated 40 cubic yards of slurry or CLSM, totaling 190 cubic yards.
8. Removing the existing elevated upcoast section of the headland that the seawall is tied into to prevent the walking path from going up and then down, and to allow for westerly drainage resulting from slope runoff or wave splash/overtopping.
9. Constructing an approximately 1,720-square-foot new variable-width concrete walking surface with seat wall along the top perimeter of the wall totaling approximately 120 cubic yards.
10. Installing two new sections of pile-supported stainless steel stairway on either end of the rehabilitated Margo Dodd seawall. At this time, there is insufficient topographic information from which to prepare representative concepts for the stairs, recognizing that building codes require that landings be placed vertically not more than every 12 feet, and also distributed equally along the alignment.
11. Scale and lay back the steep bluff in proximity to the bottommost stairway se ction on the beach.
Option 4 – New Stairway with Beach Access from Palisade Avenue
Option 4 is similar to Option 3, except that the entrance to the new stairway would start across from Palisade Avenue (Figure 8) instead of at Margo Dodd Park. For this option, we suggest that the stairway be on-grade at this location given the proximity to the retreating bluff that we are recommending for further scaling, which may eventually require alteration of the alignment to accommodate additional erosion in this area. One possible advantage of this option is that the upper portion of the stairway would provide a more gradual and natural descent down this portion of the bluff, providing a more visually and physically comfortable user experience when compared to Option 3. One disadvantage of this option is that the entrance is not as favorable for accommodating congregating when compared with the Margo Dodd Park access.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Possibly on an emergency basis, the City might consider scaling the tall and overhanging bluff encircling the cove where the Pier Avenue stairway exists, and place all excavated materials within the cove and on the beach above the HTL.
2. Implement the minimum necessary repairs to enable reopening the Pier Avenue Stairway, including:
a. Inspect all existing structural connections at landings and flights, and determine suitability for continued use (e.g., maintenance repairs to treads and galvanized railings where applicable).
b. Construct drilled pier at Landing 3.
c. Consider adding two additional drilled piers at Landings 4 and 5. d. Reattach/anchor stainless section (Flight 4) to new piers. e. Consider strategically placing three to four 8-ton rocks (or faux rock) in front of Flight 4 and Landing 5.
3. In parallel, develop and permit repair plans for the Margo Dodd seawall rehabilitation incorporating additional new public beach access at Margo Dodd Park and along the top of the seawall down to the beach behind the headland, including infilling of the sea caves and scaling the nearby bluff.
In consideration of the currently estimated construction costs for the options discussed below, notably the high costs associated with what are arguably temporary repairs to the Pier Avenue Stairs (due to the challenging site conditions), it might be more appropriate for the City to focus on the significant repairs that are needed for the Margo Dodd Seawall, and incorporate improved public access as part of that work. If that is the direction the City ultimately decides upon, we would then suggestion demolition and removal of the existing stairway, costs for which are outlined below.

With respect to contractor selection, there exists a multitude of potential contractors (large and small) from which bids could be solicited. However, this type of work is highly specialized, involving work within a fluctuating marine, tidally influenced environment that is prone to wave impacts, variable site conditions, and unstable bluffs. As a result, the selected contractor will need to be able to anticipate problems that will arise throughout the duration of the project. This includes work in a corrosive (saltwater) beach environment, dynamic wet conditions, additional site safety measures (such as temporary shoring), and shortened work days due to unfavorable tides limiting access to areas of work, which routinely slow progress, increasing the time and costs to complete a project.
With respect to construction costs, construction activities for all types of projects have remained at a heightened level during the entirety of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, price increases are being reported by contractors and material suppliers associated with not only increased demand for construction materials, but also limited availability of inventory due to past disruptions (complete stoppage in some cases) in manufacturing and delivery supply chains. Contractors are also reporting that typical price guarantees (fixed pricing) on material quotes are being removed from estimates, further contributing to uncertainty in overall project costs.
While we have done much preliminary work to help estimate the anticipated construction costs, there remains additional detailed design work that would need to be completed should you decide to proceed with the recommended repairs, including:
1. Obtain detailed topographic site surveys at both Pier Avenue and Margo Dodd Park and seawall.
2. Prepare a formal geotechnical report, including a more detailed discussion on sea level rise.
3. From topographic survey data, evaluate rise and run of new flights of stairway sections to optimize the configuration and alignment.
4. Develop site-specific sand mitigation fee calculations.

5. Prepare supporting structural calculations and detailing.
6. Develop formal design plans for permitting and contractor bidding.
7. Perform preliminary environmental site reviews for (avoidance of) cultural resources and possibly old dump/burn pits.
LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF USE
This document is intended to provide the City of Pismo Beach with a preliminary understanding and overview of site conditions, and alternatives for possible repairs and opportunity for additional points of public beach access, including preliminary (order of magnitude) estimates of potential construction costs for the various alternatives presented. As such, it should be anticipated that the information and order of magnitude probable costs are subject to change, particularly given the absence of detailed topographic survey data.
We strived to perform our professional services in accordance with generally accepted principles and practices currently employed in the area; there is no warranty, express or implied. Risks of earth movement are inherent of development within the coastal environment, and it should be expected that there will continue to be changes to the site, which may be sudden and episodic.
As we are unable to eliminate all risks, we cannot guarantee or warrant the results of our services.

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #12.C
SUBJECT/TITLE:
CONSIDERATION OF FEASIBILITY OF A PERMANENT OUTDOOR DINING STUDY
RECOMMENDATION:
Provide direction to staff on the implementation of an outdoor dining program, if desired.
BACKGROUND:
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the City Council’s top priorities was supporting local businesses as they adapted to the ever-changing health crisis. One of the actions the Council took to specifically support local restaurants was to close parking on portions of Pomeroy Avenue, Cypress Street, Shell Beach Road, and Hinds Avenue to allow restaurants to use the public right-of-way for outdoor dining parklets. That program ended on September 30, 2022, and encroachments into the public right-of-way were required to be removed by October 3, 2022.
At the September 20, 2022, City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to return with an agenda item to provide the Council an opportunity to discuss the potential hiring of a consultant to conduct a study regarding the feasibility of a permanent outdoor parklet program, an outdoor dining on private property program, and/or conversion of Pomeroy Street to a public promenade.
Parklets (Outdoor Dining on Public Property)
The Council most recently considered outdoor dining options at its February 1, 2022, meeting. That staff report (Attachment 1) focused primarily on implementation of a parklet program, but contains relevant information to aid in the Council’s current discussion.
In addition to the practical considerations outlined in that report, another consideration is the issue of public perception, such as conflicts that may arise when non-restaurant retailers feel that nearby restaurants benefit disproportionately from the use of public space in the form of outdoor dining. In other cities, retailers have expressed frustrations with restaurants being allowed to utilize parking spaces or otherwise blocking visibility of storefronts. While staff has not received direct reports of this locally, it is potentially a matter for the Council to consider.
If the Council wishes to develop a permanent parklet program, in addition to staff time pursuing Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendments and Coastal Commission approval, costs of approximately $20,000–$30,000 could be incurred for a consultant to develop the permanent parklet design standard and associated policies/best practices.
Outdoor Dining on Private Property
Through the pandemic, restaurants with onsite parking were temporarily permitted to utilize these parking lots for the placement of outdoor dining through the Temporary
12.C-1Council Agenda 11-15-2022
Packet Page 206
Outdoor Dining Area Certification process. This was accomplished by the Council allowing the temporary waiver of onsite parking requirements contained in the Pismo Beach Municipal Code (PBMC) in conjunction with the public health orders from the State and County.
The PBMC dictates the amount of onsite parking required by land use. In general, restaurants are required to have one parking space per 75 square feet of dining and waiting area. Should the Council wish to direct staff to pursue a permanent outdoor dining on private property program, it is anticipated that the program would need to include revisions to the PBMC regarding parking requirements for restaurants and outdoor dining, as well as requiring the payment of parking in-lieu fees.
Pomeroy Avenue Closure
The concept of closing Pomeroy Avenue to vehicular traffic has been raised a number of times over the years. The intent of this closure would be to allow the development of a pedestrian- and publicly-oriented square to allow for outdoor dining and other activities.
Should the Council be interested in pursuing this action, staff would develop a Request for Proposals for a consultant to lead the development of a plan to address the varying aspects of the closure of Pomeroy Avenue, including, but not limited to:
Vehicular circulation
Emergency access and response
Public Works access for maintenance and trash duties
Loss of parking
Commercial deliveries
Public space allocation
Impacts to coastal resources
Staff anticipates that this type of effort would cost approximately $65,000.
Risk Management
Since the February 1, 2022, City Council meeting, staff has examined the practical and legal issues surrounding the extent of a city’s obligation to reduce risk and liability associated with parklets. In general, the best practices include making these temporary facilities a permanent fixture of the community. This typically includes:
Structural integration
Permanent curbing
Stormwater and draining considerations
Disabled access
Permanent utilities
Fire safety
Additional liability and insurance costs
A number of these items were identified as needing further research in the February 1, 2022, report. Should the Council direct staff to further consider a permanent program, research would include risk reduction wherever possible.
12.C-2Council Agenda 11-15-2022
Packet Page 207
Conclusion and Recommendation
Outdoor dining has been a topic of discussion by the City Council throughout the COVID- 19 pandemic. While outdoor dining has benefits, it also has tradeoffs. Staff recommends that the City Council provide staff direction regarding the Council’s desire to proceed with any options related to outdoor dining.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional fiscal impact associated with this report. Direction provided by the Council would result in future fiscal impacts which are undetermined at this time.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Do not provide direction; defer this matter to the Goal-Setting Workshop in February 2023.

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #12.D
SUBJECT/TITLE:
TECHNOLOGY MASTER PLAN FOR FY 2023 THROUGH FY 2028
RECOMMENDATION:
Review and approve the City of Pismo Beach Technology Master Plan for FY 2023 through FY 2028.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council included funding in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Adopted Budget to develop an updated Technology Master Plan (TMP). In September 2019, the City issued a Request for Proposals for a firm to prepare a five-year Information Technology Strategic Plan, IT Assessment, and Disaster Recovery Plan. After a thorough evaluation process, the City selected ClientFirst Technology Consulting (ClientFirst) to provide this service.
On December 3, 2019, the City Council approved an agreement with ClientFirst to prepare the Technology Master Plan (TMP) and Disaster Recovery Plan. The majority of the plan was completed prior to the COVID-19 global pandemic beginning in March 2020.
With this significant event, various components of the City’s technology solutions were implemented to provide employees with remote working capabilities, virtual meetings, more services delivered online at a faster rate than anticipated, and several new cybersecurity initiatives that became a requirement in order to remain insured. As such, City staff paused the TMP until the rapid pace of implementing technology slowed and decisions about cybersecurity requirements were better defined. In 2022, City staff picked the TMP back up and ClientFirst worked with representatives from all aspects of City operations and management staff to update and finalize the TMP (Attachment 1).
Why Does the City Need a Technology Master Plan?
The City went through its first Five-Year Technology Master Plan, which was developed by a consultant, prioritized at the Department Head level, and adopted and funded by the City Council. That Five-Year Technology Master Plan was highly successful, moving the City from basic operations to a fully robust technology infrastructure with updated virtual servers, cloud solutions, improved security, improved backup storage, increased bandwidth to allow for cloud storage and increasing internet communication, fully capable on-line payment options, improved technology governance, and automated software solutions.
As technology is more accepted by the public and required with various agencies and vendors, IT projects are popular solutions to help City staff handle increasing requirements with a limited amount of time and resources. With numerous initiatives from various departments, there is a need to help prioritize the needs of all the various Department requests. In addition, the City’s technology efforts must continue to evolve in the technology world’s fast-changing environment and there is a need to help ensure that technology is meeting best practices. Finally, while the City does have redundant backup solutions with off-site and cloud storage, in the event of a cybersecurity attack or physical
12.D-1Council Agenda 11-15-2022
Packet Page 220
disaster, the City does not have a formal Disaster Recovery Plan that is accepted by the Council and staff based on a risk tolerance level.
Technology Master Planning Process
The Technology Master Planning process is intended to capture all the various technology needs for the City for the next five years. The first step included taking an inventory of all the City’s technology and identifying the key stakeholders. Then, ClientFirst held interviews with various Departments’ staff to determine needs, strategies, goals, and objectives. Third, ClientFirst developed preliminary initiatives and projects based on staff recommendations, research, and alternative solutions. On August 23, 2022 the Technology Steering Committee (City Manager and Department Heads) met with ClientFirst to plan and prioritize the various IT initiatives. Since that date, ClientFirst put together an estimated budget by fiscal year based on the prioritization meeting, which has been reviewed by the Technology Steering Committee. In parallel, ClientFirst met with IT staff in the City to develop technology best practices for operations, governance, infrastructure, and other needs to support the backbone of the City. The result of this work is the TMP.
Report: Technology Master Plan – November 2022
The TMP (Attachment 1) includes the purpose and background of the document, including a technology assessment, strategies, goals, and objectives, key issues and initiatives, and various IT and Departmental initiatives, and a budget and prioritization plan.
Key Initiatives
There are 43 initiatives in the TMP that are recommended to be funded and implemented over five and a half years from FY 2023 to FY 2028. These initiatives include projects that came out of the interviews with City staff and where the City needs to go to meet best practices, and the IT operations, infrastructure, telecommunication, and IT staffing needed to support the City staff. Finally, the initiatives include cybersecurity initiatives to meet requirements of the City’s insurance provider. Below is a list of some of the key initiatives in the TMP, where the details and the proposed budget can be found in the TMP.
Departmental Applications and Systems
Land Management System gap analysis and improvements
Management of digital evidence and storage requirements Police scheduling and time tracking system
Enterprise Asset Management system improvements
Smart Cities
Automated Water Meter reading
Smart parking (meter and management)
Downtown public and staff wi-fi
IT Infrastructure
12.D-2Council Agenda 11-15-2022
Packet Page 221
Replacing workstations on a 4-year cycle
Wi-fi mesh downtown network, largely for Police and Tourism Radio upgrades, redundant connection to Public Safety Facility, increase signal strength to support public safety needs
Internet bandwidth to support applications
Facility access and security cameras; additional disk storage to meet legal requirements
Cybersecurity
City Hall and Police Station backups to restore in 24 hours Multi-factor authentication
SCADA security improvements to meet requirements of federal law Managed detection and response solution to meet requirements Records and data retention to include electronic records and data
Disaster Recovery Plan
City staff are also working with ClientFirst on a Disaster Recovery Plan, which has been split into a Staff-facing IT Incident Response Plan, which will be shared internally and provided as a mandatory training to City staff, and a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan which outlines IT actions in the event of an incident. These documents will serve as important action plans in the event of a malware, ransomware, or other cybersecurity incident.
Return on Investment
The City has grown very quickly in the past 10 years in terms of its budget and technology requirements. Currently, the City spends about 2.31% of its operating budget on IT operations. This is below the recommended low benchmark of 3.0%, where the average is 3.82% for similar-sized municipalities. Investments in technology help City staff perform their duties more efficiently and have proven to reduce the number of operational staff needed. In order to maintain level staffing for most of the past decade, staff has used technology to keep up with demand. Each initiative in the proposed TMP provides more tools for staff to be more efficient with their time. For example, upgrading the radio system that supports Police, Water, and Wastewater SCADA systems, and Public Works field workers is critical for their communications and the safety of the public and its water and wastewater system. Implementation of the recommended upgrades would support the ability to help support improved radio coverage and would better support the incident command system, E911 radio dispatch, officer safety, public safety, coordinated support for emergency responders, etc.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council review and approve the City of Pismo Beach Technology Master Plan for FY 2023 through FY 2028 (Attachment 1).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of approving the attached TMP for FY 2023 and FY 2028 includes a commitment to providing sufficient funding for various initiatives laid out in the document.
12.D-3Council Agenda 11-15-2022

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #12.D
SUBJECT/TITLE:
TECHNOLOGY MASTER PLAN FOR FY 2023 THROUGH FY 2028
RECOMMENDATION:
Review and approve the City of Pismo Beach Technology Master Plan for FY 2023 through FY 2028.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council included funding in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Adopted Budget to develop an updated Technology Master Plan (TMP). In September 2019, the City issued a Request for Proposals for a firm to prepare a five-year Information Technology Strategic Plan, IT Assessment, and Disaster Recovery Plan. After a thorough evaluation process, the City selected ClientFirst Technology Consulting (ClientFirst) to provide this service.
On December 3, 2019, the City Council approved an agreement with ClientFirst to prepare the Technology Master Plan (TMP) and Disaster Recovery Plan. The majority of the plan was completed prior to the COVID-19 global pandemic beginning in March 2020.
With this significant event, various components of the City’s technology solutions were implemented to provide employees with remote working capabilities, virtual meetings, more services delivered online at a faster rate than anticipated, and several new cybersecurity initiatives that became a requirement in order to remain insured. As such, City staff paused the TMP until the rapid pace of implementing technology slowed and decisions about cybersecurity requirements were better defined. In 2022, City staff picked the TMP back up and ClientFirst worked with representatives from all aspects of City operations and management staff to update and finalize the TMP (Attachment 1).
Why Does the City Need a Technology Master Plan?
The City went through its first Five-Year Technology Master Plan, which was developed by a consultant, prioritized at the Department Head level, and adopted and funded by the City Council. That Five-Year Technology Master Plan was highly successful, moving the City from basic operations to a fully robust technology infrastructure with updated virtual servers, cloud solutions, improved security, improved backup storage, increased bandwidth to allow for cloud storage and increasing internet communication, fully capable on-line payment options, improved technology governance, and automated software solutions.
As technology is more accepted by the public and required with various agencies and vendors, IT projects are popular solutions to help City staff handle increasing requirements with a limited amount of time and resources. With numerous initiatives from various departments, there is a need to help prioritize the needs of all the various Department requests. In addition, the City’s technology efforts must continue to evolve in the technology world’s fast-changing environment and there is a need to help ensure that technology is meeting best practices. Finally, while the City does have redundant backup solutions with off-site and cloud storage, in the event of a cybersecurity attack or physical
12.D-1Council Agenda 11-15-2022
Packet Page 224
disaster, the City does not have a formal Disaster Recovery Plan that is accepted by the Council and staff based on a risk tolerance level.
Technology Master Planning Process
The Technology Master Planning process is intended to capture all the various technology needs for the City for the next five years. The first step included taking an inventory of all the City’s technology and identifying the key stakeholders. Then, ClientFirst held interviews with various Departments’ staff to determine needs, strategies, goals, and objectives. Third, ClientFirst developed preliminary initiatives and projects based on staff recommendations, research, and alternative solutions. On August 23, 2022 the Technology Steering Committee (City Manager and Department Heads) met with ClientFirst to plan and prioritize the various IT initiatives. Since that date, ClientFirst put together an estimated budget by fiscal year based on the prioritization meeting, which has been reviewed by the Technology Steering Committee. In parallel, ClientFirst met with IT staff in the City to develop technology best practices for operations, governance, infrastructure, and other needs to support the backbone of the City. The result of this work is the TMP.
Report: Technology Master Plan – November 2022
The TMP (Attachment 1) includes the purpose and background of the document, including a technology assessment, strategies, goals, and objectives, key issues and initiatives, and various IT and Departmental initiatives, and a budget and prioritization plan.
Key Initiatives
There are 43 initiatives in the TMP that are recommended to be funded and implemented over five and a half years from FY 2023 to FY 2028. These initiatives include projects that came out of the interviews with City staff and where the City needs to go to meet best practices, and the IT operations, infrastructure, telecommunication, and IT staffing needed to support the City staff. Finally, the initiatives include cybersecurity initiatives to meet requirements of the City’s insurance provider. Below is a list of some of the key initiatives in the TMP, where the details and the proposed budget can be found in the TMP.
Departmental Applications and Systems
Land Management System gap analysis and improvements
Management of digital evidence and storage requirements Police scheduling and time tracking system
Enterprise Asset Management system improvements
Smart Cities
Automated Water Meter reading
Smart parking (meter and management)
Downtown public and staff wi-fi
IT Infrastructure
12.D-2Council Agenda 11-15-2022
Packet Page 225
Replacing workstations on a 4-year cycle
Wi-fi mesh downtown network, largely for Police and Tourism Radio upgrades, redundant connection to Public Safety Facility, increase signal strength to support public safety needs
Internet bandwidth to support applications
Facility access and security cameras; additional disk storage to meet legal requirements
Cybersecurity
City Hall and Police Station backups to restore in 24 hours Multi-factor authentication
SCADA security improvements to meet requirements of federal law Managed detection and response solution to meet requirements Records and data retention to include electronic records and data
Disaster Recovery Plan
City staff are also working with ClientFirst on a Disaster Recovery Plan, which has been split into a Staff-facing IT Incident Response Plan, which will be shared internally and provided as a mandatory training to City staff, and a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan which outlines IT actions in the event of an incident. These documents will serve as important action plans in the event of a malware, ransomware, or other cybersecurity incident.
Return on Investment
The City has grown very quickly in the past 10 years in terms of its budget and technology requirements. Currently, the City spends about 2.31% of its operating budget on IT operations. This is below the recommended low benchmark of 3.0%, where the average is 3.82% for similar-sized municipalities. Investments in technology help City staff perform their duties more efficiently and have proven to reduce the number of operational staff needed. In order to maintain level staffing for most of the past decade, staff has used technology to keep up with demand. Each initiative in the proposed TMP provides more tools for staff to be more efficient with their time. For example, upgrading the radio system that supports Police, Water, and Wastewater SCADA systems, and Public Works field workers is critical for their communications and the safety of the public and its water and wastewater system. Implementation of the recommended upgrades would support the ability to help support improved radio coverage and would better support the incident command system, E911 radio dispatch, officer safety, public safety, coordinated support for emergency responders, etc.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council review and approve the City of Pismo Beach Technology Master Plan for FY 2023 through FY 2028 (Attachment 1).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of approving the attached TMP for FY 2023 and FY 2028 includes a commitment to providing sufficient funding for various initiatives laid out in the document.

Technology Assessment Summary
Overview
The City’s major business applications are generally capable of meeting the departments operational requirements. IT infrastructure capital equipment replacement has generally been able to keep up with replacement of critical components prior end-of-life. Cybersecurity needs have increased dramatically over the last three years. The City will be required invest significant resources to meet new cybersecurity insurance requirements and reduce risk. In addition, Public Safety and Public Works have identified several new technology initiatives to improve efficiencies.
Staff have also identified many gaps in the capabilities of the City’s Enterprise Asset Management system. An assessment and gap analysis of the system is recommended to assist in developing a plan to improve system capabilities and usage.
The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is an important revenue source for the City. The current Business License system processes Transient Occupancy Taxes and is cumbersome to use.
This system may require replacement.
Staff realize that updates and improvements to business applications and business processes are necessary to meet the needs of constituents. An increased desire to leverage business applications that serve constituents has resulted in a desire to increase investment in technology, leading to the creation of this plan. We recommend that, over time, detailed assessments and process reviews be undertaken to improve efficiency and resident services in the majority of business applications.
COVID-19 has also increased the demand for flexible communications, technology, and mobile computing. The demand for more flexible working capabilities continues to be strong even as the virus has waned. The City’s existing file sharing methodology must be updated, and staff trained to use tools supporting mobility and collaboration. Improving Microsoft 365 OneDrive and SharePoint adoption rates will provide staff with additional tools that are expected to improve communication and overall productivity.
Over the past three years, cybersecurity threats have increased significantly, requiring government agencies to increase spending on cybersecurity, risk mitigation, and resiliency.
Increased spending to improve core infrastructure, the resiliency of the technology infrastructure and additional cybersecurity tools have been included in the initial years of the plan.
The demand for IT services exceeds available resources. Several major projects are planned, which will further stretch technology staff. Additional investment in improving and managing business applications are necessary to support increased communications, applications, data sharing, and reporting needs. With the many needs, technology governance will be important to the successful implementation of the plan. Successful implementation will also require additional resources dedicated to cybersecurity and business application analyst(s) assisting departments to improve application utilization and efficiency.
Due to limitations, staff training, and underutilization of some software systems, department staff have created numerous manual workarounds that increase reliance on external shadow systems to bridge application business process shortcomings. The goal of the plan is to affect a Digital Transformation at the City, reducing the reliance on paper and shadow systems while increasing automation and efficiency.

Current Technology Environment
The majority of IT infrastructure is aging and will require a refresh within the next two years.
The City Hall structured cabling system was not installed according to best practices and should be replaced to reduce maintenance costs and increase bandwidth. Additional investment in cybersecurity mitigation efforts, disaster recover planning, and system resiliency are outlined in the below plan. We recommend that the City expand capital replacement planning to include all technical equipment and a long-term sustainability plan to institutionalize ongoing investment in technology.

Key Statistics and Metrics
The following analysis provides feedback on key measurements regarding technology investments and IT support operations:
Technology Budgeting/Expenditures Technology Spending vs. Operating Related Budgets IT Staffing IT Staffing Ratios
IT Capital Replacement Schedules Equipment Replacement Schedules Technology Spending versus Operating Related Budgets
Technology Spending versus Operating Budgets provides an overall indication of whether the technology systems and IT support function receive a sufficient level of organizational resources to provide the necessary services. Over time, underfunding typically reduces the IT Department’s ability to respond to requests, reduces system availability, and negatively impacts organization-wide productivity.

The City’s total operating expenditures for FY20 (actual), FY21 (budgeted), and FY22 (budgeted) totaled $32,575,172, $35,019,300,and $46,062,371, respectively. Technology expenditures approximated $751,173, $785,646, and $1,065,750, respectively. The municipal spending benchmark in the survey ranges between 2% and 8%. Survey results have an average technology expenditure of 3.82%. The historical percentage of technology expenditures versus operating-related budgets at Pismo Beach have been below municipal industry standards. This can be indicative of an agency that is under-investing in technology and has lower IT staffing levels than peer agencies.
Based on a heightened level of cyber threats and increasing cybersecurity insurance requirements, we are recommending a significant increase in the City’s ongoing investment in cybersecurity. The report also recommends improvements to the Land Management system (Permits, Inspections) which will provide benefits to developers, contractors, and residents.
Further recommendations include improvements to the majority of major application systems at the City. We expect these infrastructure improvements and application system enhancements to result in increased productivity throughout the City. Increase support of public safety technology initiatives and improved resident services through technology are also expected.
IT Staffing Ratios
The following table depicts Pismo Beach’s IT Staffing Ratios per employee and computer equipment versus a municipality benchmark of 50 similar agencies. These are commonly used measures in the industry to validate staffing levels. As the number of individuals served and the amount of equipment increases, staffing levels should also increase.

In the above comparison, the City’s IT staff supports more computers, and servers than recommended when compared to peer agencies. We were impressed by the productivity of the IT staff and their ability to work on many projects simultaneously. The City has had a long-term relationship with a third-party provider to assist with help desk requests and projects. Recent staffing changes at the provider have made their services less effective. We recommend the City investigate additional third-party resources to assist staff in the short term.
The volume of operational tasks required of IT continue to increase as additional cybersecurity requirements are added to the workload. The City should consider adding an additional IT team member within the next two or three years.
Equipment Replacement
Capital Equipment Replacement is an important measure of the ability of hardware to adequately support the ongoing vendor changes to application software. These changes often require additional resources and hardware that are more robust. Slow capital replacement cycles can result in overall increased downtime and slower system response times.

Key Issues and Initiatives
The following are the key issues and initiatives identified during the planning process. These initiatives could also be considered high priority. The key initiatives listed below either provide long-term building blocks for the success of the plan or mitigate risk. The City has made note of these as the initiatives from this plan that should be kept in the forefront during future implementation of this plan.
Technology
Governance
x Technology Governance provides a vehicle for
departments to work together to manage the Technology
Master Plan and coordinate its recommendations.
x Utilizing a Technology Steering Committee mechanism,
departments, City management, and IT can work
together to prioritize and execute the technology plan. x The City should revitalize the Technology Steering
Committee, focusing on departmental application and
business process improvements.
x Based on department feedback identifying and satisfying user training needs should also be a focal point for the Technology Steering Committee.
User Training
x All City departments expressed a desire for extensive application software training to improve departmental
operations.
x Application software training is a key component in
increasing application utilization and operational
effectiveness and efficiency.

Centralized Land
and Parcel
Management
x Citizenserve, is the primary system for permitting,
inspections, and other Land Management features.
x Staff feel that the system needs improvements to serve residents and contractors in an efficient manner.
x The plan recommends creating a gap analysis and
documenting requirements to determine if Citizenserve is the proper long-term solution for the City or if another system should be implemented.
x Leveraging additional GIS integration with Land
Management would also provide efficiencies and
improved information availability.
Enterprise Asset
Management
Replacement (EAM)
x There are significant gaps in EAM system functionality as implemented.
x Staff reported that additional implementation work is required to fully utilize the system.
x The plan recommends identifying EAM system gaps and
development of an improvement plan to close gaps
between current and desired processes.
x Asset management systems are one of the five most
complicated systems at a municipality. The City will
reduce risk by contracting with a subject matter expert to assist in the assessment and business process reviews.
Business License
and Transient
Occupancy Tax
(TOT)
x The City implemented a new business license system in 2017.
x TOT is a significant revenue source for the City.
x Staff report difficulties processing license renewals and TOTs.
x We recommend using recent experience to gather all
TOT requirements. Then determine if the current system can meet those requirements.
x If the current system is insufficient, then perform a Best Practices software selection for Business Software and
TOT processing.

GIS Improvements
x GIS and spatial maps are a key component in the
management of the City’s assets and development.
x GIS also provides critical information and data elements that benefit many of the City’s operations including future Smart City initiatives.
x GIS systems can be integrated with land management,
asset management, and document management
applications to improve field-based information storage and retrieval.
Expanded integration with the City’s enterprise
applications will improve application effectiveness.
x The City recently expanded its contract with a third-party GIS consultancy to provide additional services.
x Departments have a backlog of requests for GIS
improvements and integration.
x The plan recommends a GIS-specific Assessment and
Strategic Plan to identify all GIS needs and develop a
multi-year plan to address those needs and provide
ongoing support.
Microsoft Office
(SharePoint/Teams)
x The City has moved to Microsoft Office 365 and begun
to use several Teams applications.
x Additional training is necessary to gain the full benefit of OneDrive and SharePoint file sharing and collaboration
tools.
Disaster Recovery
Planning
x The City does not have a Cybersecurity Incident
Response or Disaster Recovery Plan.
x Incident Response Planning can reduce the time
required to respond to a cybersecurity issue, potentially reducing its impact.
x We recommend the City develop an Incident Response
Plan as soon as practical.
x Disaster Recovery Planning has changed recently due to the prevalence of cloud-based backup and restoration
services.
x Once cloud-based backup and recovery have been fully
tested, a Disaster Recovery Plan should be created to fit upgraded technology.

Backup Systems
x City backup systems are sufficient to insure eventual recovery of city business applications and data.
x Recent advances in cloud-based backup systems have
led to turnkey systems that backup application data and provide for rapid restoration of business applications. x These systems also have features that reduce the
likelihood of successful attack by malware.
x We have included funding for improved backup systems
with disaster recovery capabilities in the plan.
Business Analysis
and Project
Management
Skillset Needs
x The plan outlines business process improvement needs
for the majority of City systems. These improvements
will save staff time and, in many cases, improve resident services.
x The plan also recommends much needed cybersecurity
improvements which will be a major focus of current
staff.
x Successfully implementing the plan will require additional business analyst and project management skills beyond
those that are currently available.
x There are many manual processes in place that could be automated without significant investment in equipment of software.
x We believe automation will result in a significant return on investment and improved services.

Conclusion
Moving Forward
Moving forward over the next 18 to 24 months, the key areas of focus for information technology include Land Management, GIS, and
cybersecurity improvements. We are also
recommending increased applications
training, initially focused on Office 365 file
sharing and collaboration. Additional
projects for Public Safety video and a new
Public Safety building will also require
significant IT staff time.
Also recommended are implementation of
a Technology Governance methodology, creation of a central parcel data base and improvements to business license and TOT processing.
Developing a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan and updating the Disaster Recovery Plan will also be critical components of a successful Technology Plan implementation.
This report contains ambitious and costly technology objectives for the City. If the City chooses to implement these systems rapidly, organizational change management and strategic oversight will be critical to the City’s success. In many cases, we continue to work with agencies on these issues during assessment, planning, and implementation. We have found slow and steady progress following best practice methodologies leads to improved likelihood of success, higher quality implementations, and improved staff utilization and data management of new systems.
Cybersecurity –Cybersecurity resource demands continue to increase. Developing policies and procedures, expanding the City’s cybersecurity toolset, and improving resiliency and recoverability are important components of a cybersecurity program that will reduce risk of compromise and improve recoverability.
Application Utilization –City departments want to improve their core business processes and fully utilize their applications. The City should work to encourage a sense of application ownership and continuous improvement by the departments. Improved application utilization is the most effective way to increase data availability, staff productivity, and improve customer service.
IT Staffing –City IT staff have many responsibilities. Expanding business analysis and project management capabilities over time will provide IT staff with additional skills necessary to assist departments in making business process and application improvements.
It is expected that the projects outlined in this report to result in improved productivity and customer service, as well as improved resiliency and sustainability.
Third-party subject-matter experts will be helpful for projects that are high priority, beyond the scope of City skill sets, and/or lacking internal resource availability.
The City should review and update the Plan annually, using an abbreviated version of this assessment and planning methodology. In this way, the plan will be a vehicle to continuously guide the information technology activities of the City. Annual plan updates should be synchronized with the City’s annual budget process, so technology initiative costs can be properly represented.

Benefits
The completed Plan should not be viewed as static, but rather as a dynamic tool to be revised and updated as business conditions and requirements change. If the planning function is not an ongoing process, certain objectives and benefits will not be realized, because the objectives themselves may change as the organization and its environment evolves.
Major benefits that should be realized through the implementation of this Technology Assessment and Plan include:
x Increased collaboration and communication on technology projects within the organization x Transformation of the organization’s overall understanding, knowledge, and stewardship of information technology
x Clear direction for IT operations and technology projects for the next several years, focused on meeting the organization’s needs
x Citywide department consensus and understanding of all technology initiatives and their priorities
x A roadmap for the selection, implementation, and improvement of business applications to better serve residents and staff
Immediate Next Steps
It is recommended that the City create a Technology Steering Committee to begin work by reviewing the Plan and budget and advising on priorities. Next, assign lead and participatory resources to the top priority technology initiatives, as well as all other high-priority initiatives.
Initiative leaders should report status updates for active initiatives to the Technology Steering Committee as part of each meeting agenda.
Major issues for each initiative should be discussed by the Committee providing general feedback, collaboration, and lessons learned, as many of the initiatives cross departmental boundaries.
In order to improve application utilization, management, and support, it is also recommended a series of training seminars be developed for key department stakeholders and enterprise business application users. This is an effective way to maintain momentum and kick off the tremendous change that is to occur in improving operations and constituent services.
