BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PITTSBURG
In the Matter of:
Recommending City Council
Adoption of )
the City of Pittsburg Transportation Impact )
Analysis Guidelines and Thresholds to ) Resolution No. 10258 Evaluate Transportation Impacts Under )
the California Environmental Quality Act )
(Senate Bill 743), AP-24-0047 )
The Planning Commission DOES RESOLVE as follows:
Section 1. Background
A. In 2013, CA Senate Bill (SB) 743 established a reform process to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that resulted in a major change to how cities and counties must evaluate transportation impacts. SB 743 changed the focus of transportation impact analysis in CEQA from Level of Service (LOS) to Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) as the preferred transportation impact metric.
B. On December 12, 2022, the City of Pittsburg entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with Fehr & Peers, Inc., to provide transportation planning services to support the City in achieving SB 743 compliance.
C. The City’s VMT TAC convened four times (on December 6, 2022, January 17, 2023, on February 21, 2023, and on March 29, 2023) to provide input regarding VMT metrics, calculation methods, VMT-based CEQA thresholds, screening criteria, and mitigation options in an effort to develop Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines in accordance with SB 743.
D. 2040 General Plan Implementation Measure 7-A-1.a requires the City evaluate the traffic and VMT impacts of development projects based on the City’s Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines to determine transportation impacts to all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists, and to require projects to address impacts consistent with the requirements of CEQA.
E. Adoption of the City’s TIA Guidelines would establish a local framework under which discretionary projects are reviewed and evaluated to assess VMT impacts in accordance with 2040 General Plan Goals, Policies and Implementation Measures, CEQA and SB 743.
F. T he project is exempt from CEQA because it does not meet the definition of a “project” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a)), it does not constitute an activity covered by CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(2), it does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), and it consists of an action taken by a regulatory agency to enhance and protect the environment pursuant to Government Code Section 15308 (Class 8).
431
G. On or prior to October 11, 2024, notice of the October 22, 2024, public hearing was posted in the East County Times, at City Hall, at the Pittsburg Library, on the ‘Public Notices’ section of the city’s website and on www.nextdoor.com (“Nextdoor”) and was sent directly to all subscribed residents in all city neighborhoods.
H. On October 22
, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public meeting on Application No. AP-24-0047, at which time oral and/or written testimony was considered.
Section 2. Findings
A. Based on the Planning Commission Staff Report entitled, “Recommendation to the City Council on Adoption of the City of Pittsburg Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines and Thresholds to Evaluate Transportation Impacts Under the California Environmental Quality Act (Senate Bill 743), AP-24-0047,” and based on all the information contained in the Planning Division files on the project, incorporated herein by reference and available for review in the Planning Division located at 65 Civic Avenue in Pittsburg, and based on all written and oral testimony presented at the October 22, 2024, meeting, the Planning Commission finds that:

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the CITY COUNCIL of the City of Pittsburg will conduct a public hearing on:
DATE: December 16, 2024
TIME: 7:00 p.m.
PLACE: City Council Chamber at City Hall
65 Civic Avenue, Pittsburg, California
Concerning the following matter:
City of Pittsburg Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines and Thresholds to Evaluate Transportation Impacts Under the California Environmental Quality Act (Senate Bill 743), AP -24- 0047
Project Description : At this hearing, staff will present the proposed Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines to the City C ouncil. In 2013, CA Senate Bill (SB) 743 established a reform process to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that resulted in a major change to how cities and counties must evaluate transportation impacts. SB 743 changed the focus of transportation impact analysis in CEQA from Level of Service to Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) as the preferred transportation impact metric.
To comply with SB 743, the City developed a set of procedures and requirements pertaining to if, and when, an applicant for a development project in the City would be required to provide a TIA as part of the development review process. Adoption of the proposed TIA Guidelines would establish a local framework under which discretionary projects are reviewed and evaluated to assess VMT impacts in accordance with CEQA and SB 743. Additionally, adoption would help make meaningful progress toward achieving VMT -related goals and policies in the City’s General Plan and Sustainability Plan.
Environmental Determination: The proposed TIA Guidelines are exempt from CEQA because: 1) they do not meet the definition of a “project” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a)), 2) they do not constitute an activity covered by CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(2), 3) they do not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), and 4) they consist of an action taken by a regulatory agency to enhance and protect the environment pursuant to Government Code Section 15308 (Class 8).

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
65 Civic Avenue
Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Minute Order Directing the Process on Filling One Vacant City Council Seat
MEETING DATE: December 16, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A general municipal election was held in the City of Pittsburg, California, on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as required by law. The Contra Costa County Elections Department (County) has certified its canvassing of the votes and Councilmember Shanelle Scales- Preston has been elected to serve as Contra Costa County Supervisor for District 5, which will result in one vacant seat on the Pittsburg City Council upon her resignation. Staff is seeking direction from City Council on how to fill the vacancy.
FISCAL IMPACT
Costs will depend upon direction provided on how to fill the vacancy. The cost to conduct a special election would range from $453,156 to $700,332. Having a new Council Member, whether through a special election or by appointment, will require staff resources for briefings and training to ensure the new member is prepared to assume his or her duties and responsibilities.
RECOMMENDATION
By motion, adopt a minute order providing direction on the process to fill the vacancy.
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 36512(b) authorizes two methods of filling a vacancy in the absence of a city ordinance. A city may appoint a person to fill the vacancy or hold a special election within a certain timeframe.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
434
STAFF ANALYSIS
California Government Code Section 36512(b) states the following:
(b) If a vacancy occurs in an elective office provided for in this chapter, the council shall, within 60 days from the commencement of the vacancy, either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy. (1) If the council calls a special election, the special election shall be held on the next regularly established election date not less than 114 days from the call of the special election. A person elected to fill a vacancy holds office for the unexpired term of the former incumbent.
The appointment scenario timeline is as follows: The Councilmember resignation date triggers the requirement to appoint a person within 60 days. If the vacancy occurs in the second half of the term of office (e.g. in December 2024 or later), the appointee holds office for the unexpired term of the former incumbent.
The special election scenario timeline is as follows: Within 60 days of the Councilmember’s resignation, City Council must call a special election, and the special election must be held on the next regularly established election date at least 114 days later.
For cities with a population of up to 100,000, like Pittsburg, State law authorizes a special election to be conducted by all-mail ballot for the purpose of filling a vacancy on the legislative body. California Elections Code Section 4004 requires the legislative body to adopt a resolution authorizing the use of mailed ballots for the election. The statute prohibits the election from being held on the same date as a statewide primary or general election or consolidated with any other election.
If the City were to conduct a special election, the City would require the services of the County. Staff obtained the current cost from the County for a special election. If the City were to conduct an all-mail ballot special election, the cost would range from $11 to $14 per registered voter, regardless of how many actually vote. If the City were to conduct an in- person special election, the cost is even higher, at $14 to $17 per registered voter. With 41,196 voters, the cost would range from $453,156 to $700,332. According to the County, the next regularly established election date that would be at least 114 days after calling an election is May 6, 2025.
The City Council can agree to a process to fill the vacancy since there is no specific process required besides making sure the individual meets the following qualifications for office:
• U.S. citizen
• Pittsburg resident
• 18 years of age or older
• Registered voter at the time of application submission 435
Staff reviewed City records and identified three instances when a City Council seat became vacant. Historically, the vacant seat was filled by appointing a person after seeking applications and interviewing applicants.
If the vacancy will be filled by appointment through an application and interview process, the Brown Act requires the interviews be held in open session. This process is transparent and allows the City Council to engage the community to find the best possible candidate to fill the vacant seat.

SUBJECT: Receive and File Report on the Review of Development Impact Fees Received by the City of Pittsburg that are Subject to AB 1600 Reporting Requirements
MEETING DATE: December 16, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AB 1600 (Government Code Sections 66000–66008) requires cities to justify and account for developer fees which they enact, increase or impose as a condition of new development for the purposes of financing “public facilities and improvements.” AB 1600 also requires an annual review of the developer fees that have been collected and spent during the previous year. This report fulfills the AB 1600 requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact in receiving the report on the review of the Development Impact Fees received by the City of Pittsburg.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file report pertaining to the review of Development Impact Fees received by the City of Pittsburg that are subject to AB 1600 reporting requirements.
BACKGROUND
Many cities charge fees on new development to fund public facilities and improvements such as streets, libraries, sewer and water systems and storm drains. These fees are commonly known as Development Impact Fees. In order to ensure that these fees are spent in a timely manner and on projects for which they were collected, the State Legislature passed a bill known as AB 1600 (Mitigation Fee Act). The law applies to developer fees increased or imposed on or after January 1, 1989. Mitigation Fee Act adds Government Code Sections 66000-66008 that generally contain the following four requirements:
441
1. A local jurisdiction must follow the process set forth in the statutes and make certain determinations regarding the purpose and use of the fees and establish a “nexus” or connection between a development project or class of project and the public improvement being financed with the fee.
2. The fee revenue must be segregated from the general fund in order to avoid commingling of public improvement fees and the general fund.
3. If a local jurisdiction has had possession of a developer fee for five years or more and has not committed that money to a project or actually spent that money, then it must make findings describing the continuing need for that money. In addition, an annual report must be made of fees collected, interest earned, projects on which fees were expended, and any transfers or loans from the fee account. This report is to be reviewed by the local agency assessing the fees.
4. If a local jurisdiction cannot make the findings required under Paragraph 3, the city or county must refund the fees collected.
It should be noted that Mitigation Fee Act reporting requirements do not apply to the following fees:
Fees charged in lieu of parkland dedication
Regulatory and processing fees
Fees collected pursuant to development agreements
Fees collected pursuant to a reimbursement agreement that exceeds the developer’s share of an improvement
Assessment district proceeds or taxes
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The City of Pittsburg assesses the following Developer Impact Fees:
Kirker Creek Drainage Fee
Local Traffic Mitigation Fee
Park Dedication Fee
Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fee
Traffic Impact Fair Share Fee
Pittsburg Regional Transportation Development Impact Mitigation Fee Water Facility Reserve Fees
Sewer Facility Reserve Fees
442
The Traffic Mitigation Fees, Pittsburg Regional Transportation Development Impact Mitigation Fees, Kirker Creek Drainage Fees, Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fees, Traffic Impact Fair Share Fee and the Sewer and Water Facility Reserve Fees that the City of Pittsburg collects, qualify as Development Impact Fees. Therefore, these fees must comply with the above referenced statutes. Government Code Section 66001 requires the City to make available to the public certain information regarding development impact fees for each fund within 180 days after the end of the fiscal year.
Expenditures from the fees collected must occur within a 5-year period of collection unless the City can make the appropriate findings that there remains reasonable relationships between the current need for the fees and the purpose for which they were originally proposed.
Kirker Creek Drainage Fees collected in the amount of $382,328 have been on deposit for over five years and these findings are stated on page 2 of the attached report. In summary, the Kirker Creek Drainage Fund is insufficient to construct the prioritized improvements recommended in the 2001 Storm Water Master Plan. As development continues in the Kirker Creek watershed area, additional funds will be collected and deposited for construction of the prioritized improvements.
In addition, there are Traffic Impact Fair Share funds in the amount $554,626 that have been on deposit for over five years and these findings are stated on Page 7 of the attached report. In summary, the fair share funds have been on deposit to address future capital projects in the areas near West Leland Road/Oak Hills Drive; East Leland Road/Century Boulevard; Willow Pass Road/Avila Road; San Marco Boulevard/West Leland Road; and Bailey Road/West Leland Road. The funding held on deposit will be augmented as development in the respective areas occur.
Although the Park Dedication Fee is covered under the Quimby Act and not Mitigation Fee Act, staff has included the Park Dedication Fee in this report for reporting purposes only.

TO: Chair and Governing Board Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Successor Agency Minute Order Approving the July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026 Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule MEETING DATE: December 16, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Successor Agency for the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg (Successor Agency) has prepared its Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the period of July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026 (ROPS 25/26), pursuant to AB 26x1, also referred to as the “Dissolution Act”.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to adopting ROPS 25/26. Rather, ROPS 25/26 identifies the Successor Agency’s anticipated financial obligations for July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026.
ROPS 25/26 will be reflected in the Successor Agency’s budget that will be considered along with the City’s budget in June 2025 for Fiscal Year 2025/26.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Successor Agency Governing Board approve ROPS 25/26.
BACKGROUND
On June 29, 2011, the Governor signed into law the Dissolution Act, which automatically suspended redevelopment activities, and on December 29, 2011, the California State Supreme Court upheld the provisions of the Dissolution Act, thereby dissolving all redevelopment agencies on February 1, 2012.
While redevelopment successor agencies may not initiate any new activities nor incur new indebtedness, they are nevertheless required under legislative statute and court order to continue making those payments necessary for day-to-day operations pursuant to contractual commitments/enforceable obligations, regulatory authorities, and indebtedness entered into prior to the enactment of the Dissolution Act. 464
On June 27, 2012, the Governor signed into law budget trailer bill AB 1484. AB 1484 imposed new requirements on successor agencies with regard to the submittal of the ROPS.
Budget trailer bill SB 107 was approved and signed by the Governor and took immediate effect on September 22, 2015. The primary purpose of SB 107 is to make technical and substantive amendments to the existing Dissolution Act. Health & Safety Code Section 34177, as amended, changed the review of ROPS from semi-annual to annual.
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179 (j), on and after July 1, 2018, in each county where more than one oversight board was created, there shall be only one countywide oversight board. As of July 1, 2018, the California Department of Finance (DOF) will only recognize the Contra Costa County Oversight Board (Countywide Oversight Board). The Successor Agency’s ROPS and other actions may not be submitted to the DOF without the Countywide Oversight Board’s approval.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
ROPS 25/26 consists of debt service-related expenses, administrative expenses, and other eligible enforceable obligation. Staff will submit ROPS 25/26 to the Countywide Oversight Board for its consideration on January 27th, 2025. Upon receiving Countywide Oversight Board approval, ROPS 25/26 will be submitted to the DOF, the County Auditor-Controller’s Office, and the California State Controller’s Office on or before February 1, 2025.

Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution to Authorize Application and Receipt of Program Funding from Senate District 7 for the Accessory Dwelling Unit Accelerator Program Grant
MEETING DATE: December 16, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 7, 2024, Senator Glazer of Senate District 7 issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for approximately $2.5 million dollars in one-time funds for the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Accelerator Program Grant (“Program”). The purpose of the non-competitive funding is to provide financial assistance to encourage and facilitate the construction of ADUs throughout 15 cities in the East Bay located in Senate District 7. Staff is requesting authorization to apply for the up to $190,407 in program funds designated for the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund or any other existing funds related to the submittal of this application. Staff costs related to submittal the grant application, as well as future development and administration of the Program would be covered by the grant.
RECOMMENDATION
City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing application and receipt of Senate District 7 Accessory Dwelling Unit Accelerator Program grant funding.
BACKGROUND
Due to the unprecedented need for affordable housing, Senate District 7 has initiated a one- time Program available to local agencies within Senate District 7 to advance and accelerate the production of 350 ADUs, further incentivizing affordable housing production. Section
19.564 of the Budget Act of 2023 provides $2,500,000 through this Program to be allocated to select cities in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties to encourage the production of ADUs to help address California’s housing supply.
474
As authorized through the California Budget Act of 2023 and the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the Town of Danville will act as the fiscal agent to receive fund applications and distribute Program grant funds. The Program funds have been distributed based on the Department of Finance annual population numbers as of January 1, 2024. The City of Pittsburg has been allocated $190,406.96.
Program funding eligibility requires that the City has a certified Housing Element for the 2023-2031 Cycle. The City of Pittsburg’s 2023-2031 Housing Element was certified by the State Housing and Community Development Department on October 2, 2024.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
ADUs present an opportunity for affordable housing development, for residential investment, and for aging in place. One of the barriers to constructing an ADU can be the cost of designing an ADU to meet California Building Code and Municipal Code zoning requirements. The City of Pittsburg is eligible to receive $190,406.96 through the ADU Accelerator Program. This funding must be allocated in two categories: $140,406.96 shall be allocated to Category 1, the “Rebate (Incentive) Program”, and $50,000. shall be allocated to Category 2, “PR Prototype ADU Plans.” Consistent with this required allocation, staff is proposing that the ADU Accelerator Program would fund $50,000 towards the development of permit-ready prototype ADU Plans and $140,406.96 towards an incentive program for property owners who construct an ADU. A description of each Categories Program is described below:
Category 1 - Property Owner Rebate/Incentive Program ($140,406.96). This program would provide individual rebates of up to $7,500 to property owners for new ADU units and up to $15,000 for new ADU units that are deed restricted to low-income households (minimum of 20 years). As the purpose of the program is to encourage the construction of smaller ADU units, there will be no rebates for units over 1,000 square feet. Funding within this Rebate/Incentive Program would be provided on a first-come, first-served basis until all the funds are expended.
Low-Income Restricted ADUs. Property owners would be eligible to receive individual rebates of up to $15,000 if they obtain a Building Permit to construct an ADU and receive a certificate of occupancy within 18 months of issuance. Rebates will be provided for units that are deed restricted to low-income households for a minimum of 20 years; based on the following sliding scale:
o $15,000 for units < 500 square feet
o $10,000 for units between 501-750 square feet
o $5,000 for units between 751-1,000 square feet
o No rebates for units over 1,000 square feet.
475
Non-Restricted ADUs. Property owners would be eligible to receive individual rebates of up to $7,500 if they obtain a Building Permit to construct an ADU and receive a certificate of occupancy within 18 months of issuance. Rebates are awarded based upon the following sliding scale:
o $7,500 for units < 500 square feet
o $5,000 for units between 501-750 square feet
o $2,500 for units between 751-1,000 square feet
o No rebates for units over 1,000 square feet.
Category 2 - Development of Permit Ready ADU Plans ($50,000). This Program would provide Permit-Ready ADU Plans for public use throughout the City of Pittsburg.
In an effort to streamline Building Permit plan review processes and reduce the cost associated with preparing and processing architectural drawings for ADUs, the City of Pittsburg proposes to consult with a licensed architecture firm through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to develop Permit-Ready ADU Plans. The City of Pittsburg currently has one Permit-Ready ADU plan available for public use and construction, funded under Senate Bill 2 Planning Grants Program of 2017. This Program would allocate additional funds for the development of additional Permit-Ready ADU plans to further increase and diversify the City’s available housing stock.
Staff anticipates beginning working on community outreach and creating a website for Category 1 in early Winter of 2025, and issuing a RFP and begin the section process for Category 2 in Spring of 2025 once funding is received.
Eligible cities that receive Program grant funding have 18 months, until September 30, 2026, to utilize program funding. If the City receives Program funding, the City would also be required to generate a Biannual Progress Report (“Report”) for submittal to the Grant Program’s Fiscal Agent, the Town of Danville. This Report would summarize the number of ADUs that have been permitted and finaled for the reporting period as well as cumulatively for the life of the program, through September 30, 2026.

It is no secret the State of California is facing a shortage of available and affordable housing, and no one knows this better than our local cities and towns. From my first days in the State Senate, I have been a staunch supporter of cities seeking new and unique ways to spur the production of housing while blending new developments within the fabric of their communities.
I would like to announce the newly created ADU Accelerator Program. The ADU Accelerator Program offers rebates of up to $15,000 for qualifying ADU plans and projects. This $2.5 million state-funded initiative is intended to encourage and facilitate the construction of 350 ADUs in 15 cities and towns in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties.
Please see attached an overview of this exciting new program along with everything needed to apply and receive funds. Our goal is to have all 15 of our eligible cities participate to show local governments statewide what can be achieved when cities work together with the state on an incentivized program aimed at producing more affordable housing. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Sincerely,

Dear John Funderburg:
RE: City of Pittsburg’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Adopted Housing Element
Thank you for submitting the City of Pittsburg’s (City) housing element that was adopted on August 5, 2024 and received for review on August 9, 2024. The adopted element includes modifications received September 30, 2024 and authorized by Resolution Number 24-14516. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review.
HCD is pleased to find the adopted housing element, with modifications, in substantial compliance with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq) as of the date of this letter. The adopted element, with modifications, addresses the requirements described in HCD’s August 3, 2023 review.
Additionally, the City must continue timely and effective implementation of all programs including but not limited to the following:
• Program 3 (Affordable Housing Development Assistance) • Program 4 (Housing Inventory and RHNA Accommodation)
• Program 4A (Public Property Conversion to Housing)
• Program 7 (Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units) • Program 8 (Affordable Housing Funding Sources and Incentives) • Program 15 (Zoning Ordinance Amendments – Housing Constraints) • Program 17 (Access to Opportunities, Density Bonuses and Incentives) • Program 18 (Parking Incentives and Modified Standards) • Program 21 (Affirmatively Further Fair Housing)
• Program 25 (Reasonable Accommodation Procedures)
• Program 26 (Homeless Continuum of Care)
482
John Funderburg, Assistant Director of Planning
The City must monitor and report on the results of these and other programs through the annual progress report, required pursuant to Government Code section 65400.
Please be aware, Government Code section 65585, subdivision (i) grants HCD authority to review any action or failure to act by a local government that it determines is inconsistent with an adopted housing element or housing element law. This includes failure to implement program actions included in the housing element. HCD may revoke housing element compliance if the local government’s actions do not comply with state law.
Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the Caltrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program, and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City now meets housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.
For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.
HCD appreciates the assistance and dedication provided by the housing element update team throughout the housing element update and review. HCD wishes the City of Pittsburg success in implementing its housing element and looks forward to following its progress through the General Plan annual progress reports pursuant to Government Code section 65400. If HCD can provide assistance in implementing the housing element, please contact Judith Hinh of our staff, [email protected].
Sincerely,
Paul McDougall

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution to Amend the Master Pay Schedule to Include Amendments to the Seasonal Salary Schedule and Previously Approved Positions and Compensation
MEETING DATE: December 16, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Effective January 1, 2025, the California minimum wage will increase from $16.00 per hour to $16.50 per hour. As the seasonal salary schedule presently has wages below the minimum, the City is required to increase the salaries affected by the State’s new minimum wage and update the salary schedule to comply with CalPERS’ interpretation of the requirements of California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 by amending the single master pay schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2024/25 is estimated to be $2,730 based on twenty-one Recreation Leaders who work an estimated 20 hours per week between April and June. Such costs will be absorbed by the current department’s budget. No additional appropriations are required.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to amend the seasonal salary schedule effective December 22, 2024, the first pay period of 2025, and to amend the City of Pittsburg’s master pay schedule for all employee classifications, so the City is in compliance with the requirements of the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) relating to publicly available pay schedules for purposes of determining the amount of “compensation earnable” pursuant to Government Code Sections 20630, 20636, and 20636.1. 517
BACKGROUND
The State’s minimum wage will increase from $16.00 to $16.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025. The City is required to pay employees an hourly wage that is at, or above the minimum wage.
To comply with CalPERS’ interpretation of the requirements of California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 by amending the single master pay schedule already on the City’s website representing all previously approved actions on the individual classifications of the pay schedule. The single master pay schedule will be submitted to the City Council for approval each time any single MOU or compensation plan is brought to the City Council for approval.
CalPERS, pursuant to their interpretation of California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5, recommends all CalPERS employers to maintain their compensation levels in one publicly available document, approved and adopted by the governing body, which must meet all of the following requirements:
Has been duly approved and adopted by the employer's governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meetings laws; Identifies the position title for every employee position; Shows the pay rate for each identified position, which may be stated as a single amount or as multiple amounts within a range;
Indicates the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually;
Is posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer's internet website;
Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions; Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years; and
Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not reviewed by a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The increase due to the minimum wage law has an impact on the City’s seasonal classifications. The City currently has approximately twenty-one employees at less than minimum wage whose salary needs to be adjusted.
The fiscal impact is estimated at $2,730 assuming the affected Recreation employees work 20 hours a week between April and June.
The proposed changes have been reviewed and approved by the Recreation Department.
Staff will work with affected departments to implement the salary adjustments for seasonal employees effective December 22, 2024, the beginning of the first pay period of 2025. 518
Exhibit A demonstrates the proposed changes to the seasonal classification plan. In accordance with the City’s Personnel Rule 11.1, the City Council is asked to establish salary ranges. Salary ranges are set for each class by the City Council.
The adoption of the resolution will comply with CalPERS’ interpretation of the requirements of Code of Regulations section 570.5 by amending the single master pay schedule already on the City’s website representing all previously approved actions on the individual classifications of the pay schedule.

SUBJECT: Authorizing the Execution of a Fourth Contract Amendment to the Consulting Service Agreement with 4LEAF, Inc. for Building Inspector and Chief Building Official On-Call Services
MEETING DATE: December 16, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed item would authorize the execution of the Fourth Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement (“Fourth Amendment’) with 4LEAF, Inc. (4LEAF) in an amount not to exceed $570,000. This amount would allocate an additional $120,000 to the existing contract amount of $450,000 for Building Inspector and Chief Building Official on- call services.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed item would authorize the execution of the Fourth Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with 4LEAF in an amount not to exceed $570,000. This amount would allocate an additional $120,000 to the existing contract amount of $450,000 for Building Inspector and Chief Building Official on-call services.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Fourth Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with 4LEAF, Inc. for Building Inspector and Chief Building Official on-call services.
BACKGROUND
With the continued increase of large commercial projects and ongoing commercial projects, the City has sought the assistance of a certified Chief Building Official and Building Inspector to assist with inspections and plan checking for the Building Division on an as- needed basis.
526
In August 2022, the City executed a contract with 4LEAF in an amount of $50,000 for building inspection and chief building official services. On February 8, 2023, the City and 4LEAF executed the First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement to increase the contract amount to $125,000. On July 25, 2023, the City and 4LEAF executed the Second Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement to extend the duration and increased the contract amount to $250,000. On February 28, 2024, the City and 4LEAF executed the Third Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement to increase the contract amount to $450,000.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The item was not presented to a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff recommends the City continue to utilize 4LEAF to continue Building Inspector and Chief Building Official on-call services. 4LEAF was chosen due to their extensive resources and expertise in building inspection, Chief Building Official, and building code enforcement services. 4LEAF also maintains a staff of numerous certified Chief Building Officials and Building Inspectors to ensure someone is always available to staff.
The contract would be paid using salary savings within the Building Division budget due to unfilled positions. However, it should be noted that the on-call Chief Building Official and Building Inspector may complete “in house” plan checks, reducing the amount spent on outside plan check services and increasing plan check revenues.

PPC has purchased unbundled Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) through short-term contracts to help meet the annual RPS requirement of calendar year 2023. The unbundled RECs account for 3.1% of the annual retail sales.
