DISCUSSION:
On October 18, 2021, an appeal (see Attachment 4) was filed by Claire Arbour, Simon Winer, and Ron Elson, property owners of 360 Western Drive, objecting to the Planning Commission’s conditional approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Design Review (PLN20-043) to construct a two-story, single-family residence on a vacant parcel, within the RL1 Zoning district and -S, Shoreline overlay district, at 357 Western Drive.
Project Description:
The subject property (“project site”) is a 6,000 square foot parcel located on Western Drive, between Santa Fe Avenue and Casey Drive in the Point Richmond neighborhood.
The L-shaped parcel was created through a subdivision with the abutting parcel to the north approved by the City Council in 2009. The Planning Commission and City Council on appeal approved a parcel map, with conditions requiring the future residence on the subject lot be visually compatible with surrounding buildings. In addition, the parcel map was conditioned to provide two visual co rridors to maintain views of the San Francisco Bay and restricting building heights and window placement (see Resolution No.128-09)
The proposed project is a 2,340 square foot, two -story structure, consisting of three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a 440 square foot, two-car garage to be constructed on a vacant 6,000 square foot parcel (see Project Plans in Attachment 2).
Zoning Analysis:
The proposed residential use requires a conditional use permit since the project site is located within the -S, Shoreline Overlay zone. In addition, a two -story structure requires major Design Review by the Design Review Board (DRB). When multiple applicat ions that require public hearings are filed for the same projects, all issues are to be heard together by the review authority with the most authority, and other review bodies shall provide recommendations to that review authority unless more specific proc edures for a specific application or procedure are prescribed. Therefore, the DRB’s review was in the form of a recommendation to the Planning Commission.
Design Review Board Recommendation: On November 18, 2020, the DRB held a public hearing to conside r a recommendation on the project design to the Planning Commission. The DRB and staff recommended that the applicant make additional changes and return to the DRB for a recommendation at a future meeting. During the DRB’s deliberation, the applicant state d that they did not want to make any additional changes to the design and instead requested that a vote be taken. Given that the Board wanted additional changes to be incorporated into the design to make the proposed design more compatible with surrounding structures, the DRB unanimously voted 7 -0 to recommend denial of the proposed design to the Planning Commission based on the applicant’s desire to not make additional design changes and provide additional exhibits.
Planning Commission Review: On February 4, April 1, September 16, and October 7, 2021, the Planning Commission held public hearings to consider the Conditional Use Permit and Design Review for the proposed project. During the hearing, several neighbors expressed their opposition to the proposed design. The neighbors expressed that modifying the butterfly roof to be a flat roof would reduce the height and massing of the structure.
The Planning Commission suggested the applicant work with staff and consult with members of the Design Review Board. It was recommended that the applicant return to a future meeting with additional exhibits, demonstrating the potential Bay views from the street. The applicant met with two Design Review Board members for input and subsequently revised the ir project plans and provided the additional exhibits requested by the Planning Commission.
At the September 16, 2021 meeting, the applicant stated that the project design had already been modified to reduce the height and address the comments originally expressed by the DRB, including removal of a roof deck proposed at the rear of the structure.
During its deliberations, the Planning Commission expressed that a compromise between the desires of the applicant and the neighbors was appropriate. The Planning Commission directed staff come back at a future meeting with d raft findings and conditions fo r approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Design Review with the following modifications:
1. The design of the roof be modified to decrease the slope of the butterfly roof and/or ceiling height to reduce the overall height.
2. The metal roofing material be coated to ensure it is non-reflective.
3. A green wall or landscaping be incorporated on the north elevation to reduce the massing and bulk of the building.
During the October 7, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant presented a n alternative design of the proposed butterfly roof. The Planning Commission found that the alternative design met the intent of a modified roof design that resulted in an overall height reduction. The Planning Commission ultimately determined there was sufficient grounds to make the required findings and approve the project.
APPEAL ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 15.04.803.140.E of the Zoning Ordinance, t he City Council determines whether an underlying decision is supported by substantial evidence and/or constitutes an abuse of discretion. The same standards and evaluation criteria, including the findings required, apply as they were for the original application. The appellate body's review is limited to the issue(s) raised in the petition for the appeal.
The City Council may affirm, modify, or reverse the original decision. When a decision is modified or reversed, the City Council must state the specific reasons for modification or reversal. The City Council may also choose to refer a matter back to the Planning Commission or Design Review Board for further consideration and a decision if significant new evidence is presented in conjunction with the appeal, which may include substantial changes to the original proposal.
BASIS OF APPEAL:
The appeal letter (see Attachment 4) submitted by Claire Arbour, Simon Winer, and Ron Elson (“Appellants”) asserts the Planning Commission decision was in error because the process lacked information presented to the Design Review Board and Planning Commission to make an informed decision.
Staff’s Response to Issues Raised in the Appeal:
Pursuant to Section 15.04.803.050 of the Zoning Ordinance, when multiple applications that require a public hearing are filed for the same project, all issues shall be heard together by the review authori ty with the most authority, and other review bodies shall provide recommendations to that review authority. If a project requires design review, and a conditional use permit, the Design Review Board shall make a recommendation to the Planning Commission. I n this case, the DRB unanimously voted 7 -0 to recommend denial of the proposed design to the Planning Commission based on the applicant’s desire to not make additional design changes requested by the DRB to enable the DRB to make certain required Design Review findings. Following the DRB meeting, the applicant agreed to make additional design changes requested by the Planning Commission to address concerns and comments raised to support making the required design review findings to approve the project.
With respect to the Planning Commission direction to the applicant to work with staff and consult with members of the Design Review Board, it is not a violation of due process.
The DRB members asked to work with the applicant were primarily focused on making sure the applicant provided accurate and complete exhibits for Planning Commission review.
The applicant made some modifications to the project and provided additional exhibits demonstrating the impact of proposed project on Bay views from Western Drive. Based on the new information provided at or prior to the meeting held on October 7, 2021, the Planning Commission conditionally approved the project. With respect to the question of whether it was a late submission, the Planning Commission considered that it was a minor change meeting the intent for a modified roof with a lower slope. All exhibits provided during the meeting were adequate to determine the impact of Bay views from the street as required by the Shoreline Overlay District. Given the to pography of the site and the surrounding, the street intersection of Casey Drive and Western Drive will be partially affected. This is the main view down the street to the north. Portion of this view from this angle will be preserved due to the neighboring buildings being located at a much lower elevation. In front of the property, the new building will block the left side view, but the view of the Bay will be retained on the right side since the abutting buildings are located at a lower elevation.
It appears that existing Bay views from the home located across the street at 360 Western Drive will be partially blocked and the nearby homes across the street may not be affected since they are at higher elevations.
With respect to the issue that the property is not adequately served by public facilities and services, such as water, sewer, and other public facilities, it is uncertain at this time. There is a moratorium for parcels located within the tributary of the Keller Beach line; this issue is discussed later in this report.
In staff’s opinion, there were no abuse of discretion by the Planning Commission since the Design Review Board decision was only a recommendation and ultimately many of the design comments requested by the DRB were eventually integrated into the final project design.
City Council Public Hearing on Appeal
On December 7, 2021, the City Council held a public hearing regarding the appeal.
Several comments were raised regarding sewer service to the proposed project given concerns were raised about the ability of the project to connect to the Keller Beach Sewer System (KBSS) due to the degraded condition of the line. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council directed staff to return to the meeting on January 11, 2022 on ce issues related to the potential moratorium on connections to the KBSS were considered.
The item was continued to January 18, and again to February 1 awaiting consideration of an urgency moratorium related to the KBSS.
On January 18, 2022, the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance imposing a 45-day moratorium on the issuance of building permits for projects that would require new sewer connections to the KBSS. The moratorium is also anticipated to be extended beyond the original 45-day period, possibly up to 2 years, should the Public Works Department and City Council find that the imminent threat to the health and safety has not been abated.
The moratorium adopted by the City Council does allow projects to be approved that require new connection s; however, building permits cannot be issued until options for connecting to the City sewer system are identified that do no further impact the KBSS.
The capacity to serve the property exists at the City’s water treatment plant, and therefore, the requir ed use permit finding regarding there being adequate utilities and public services to serve the site of the proposed use can be made. However, building permits requiring sewer connections to KBSS cannot be issued until the moratorium is lifted or an alternative design for the extension of a sewer main to an alternative segment is approved pursuant to Section 5(b) of the moratorium. Further, under Section 6 of the moratorium, any City entitlement approvals that are impacted by the moratorium will be tolled for the period that the moratorium is in place.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’s conditional approval of the project. The project complies with the RL-1, Single-family Very Low Density Residential District regulations and is consistent with the Hillside Residential land use designation under the General Plan. The revised design represents a significant improvement and rel ates well to the surrounding buildings in the neighborhood. The revised design approved by the Planning Commission addressed many of the concerns raised by the public comments, including reducing the overall building height and slope of the butterfly roof.

Improvements made along the way include:
1. Reduction in the height of the house facing neighbors during neighborhood council
2. Narrowed the foyer in front of the house facing the neighbors during DRB review
3. Reduced the pitch of the roof to make it less stark and changed reflective building materials for DRB
4. Provided additional view studies requested by the Design Review Board
5. Met with DRB subcommittee again & provided additional view studies requested by the Planning Commission
6. Removed the rooftop deck to preserve the privacy of the neighbors during PC
7. Further reduced the pitch of the roof and added a flat roof section for the PC BCDC Shoreline Overlay District Restrictions
The BCDC issued a permitto build in 2012 (permit #M1986.015.02B) with the following restrictions to accommodate neighbors' privacy and protect public views, which was subsequently approved by the Planning Commission:
1. Maximum height limited to 28ft for the first 29ft of the street-side property line
2. No windows for the first 29ft of the street-side property line
3. No rooftop deck for the first 29ft of the street-side property line
4. A larger rear setback to maintain a distance of 17ft from the cliff's edge
5. An established view corridor 5ft wide, along the southern property line
6. An established view corridor 10ft wide, along the northern property line We have followed all BCDC restrictions, and have actually lowered the house by over 6ft under the maximum allowable height to further protect neighbors' views, in addition to narrowing the footprint of the home by 6ft to provide a more expansive water view for neighbor Simon Winor across the street.
Project Revisions:
Since project kick-off in late 2019, we have met with neighbors multiple times and made numerous revisions. The home is much shorter and narrower than current standards allow and lower than previously established BCDC restrictions. We installed story poles and worked closely with our neighbors through the Point Richmond Neighborhood Council and after revisions, received unanimous approval from the Council. Compared to other homes in the neighborhood, this project is quite modest in size and celebrates the diversity of home designs that define the unique character of the Point. We then made additional changes for the DRB but unfortunately the members could not reach a consensus to provide a recommendation to the Commission.

STATE REASONS FOR APPEAL:
There has been inadequate process in the consideration of the applicant's plans, and violation and deprivation of the neighbor's due process in the course of the applicant's proposals to the city.
There has been consistent lack of information and unreliability of information presented to the Design Review Board and the Planning Commission. The P.C. lacked correct and reliable information to support necessary findings and to make an informed decision about the applicant's plans.
Please see the attached form for further reasons and explanations.

We are appealing the decision of the PC at its October meeting of a proposal to construct a new dwelling at 357 Western Drive, item PLN20-043 Garbelman Residence.
1. We believe that substantive design issues raised both by Design Review Board and the City Staff have not been adequately addressed and that required findings have not been met. The three conditions that the Planning Commission laid out for their conditional approval were not thoroughly or clearly met.
The DRB unanimously recommended denial when the proposal was first submitted. Since then they have not reviewed any plans or revisions submitted by the applicant. Even with the minor modifications proposed since by the applicant, the project does not meet major criteria for approval. The Commissioners relied heavily on a verbal presentation by the applicant's architect at their October meeting - without their nor city staff having the chance to review the latest written revisions submitted by the applicant.
2. We question the appropriateness or legal authority for the Planning Commission to refer back to a subcommittee of the DRB rather than to the full DRB for review.
No transparency was shown in the selection of which members would be chosen; nor how they would proceed with their review. Their meetings with the applicant/ architect were not public and the public had no chance for input into the subcommittee's review. We aren't aware that their ideas or recommendations were then reviewed by the full DRB. 3, The applicant and his architect have not held discussions with community members and neighbors, despite their claim that they have.
While such discussions aren't required, they are a vital way of showing respect for the community. Balancing Individual wishes with community well-being is a major issue these days in our country and our community. It would be reasonable to propose such meetings in an effort to arrive at compromise.
4. A requirement for approval (as per Item E of Resolution 21-17, A resolution of the planning commission of the city of Richmond approving the conditional use permit and design review with modification (PLN20-043) to construct a two-story, single family dwelling on a vacant parcel at 357 Western Drive, subject to conditions) is the demonstration that the proposed development is "adequately serred by highways, streets, water, sewer, and other public facilities and services" (emphasis ours).
The present sewer system is known to be inadequate and to pose significant public health and welfare issues to the citizens of Point Richmond should it fail more than it has. A moratorium on any new connections, other than in the case of remodels of buildings that already are connected to the sewer system, appears to be de facto in place. Comments by the city council and consultants to the city have supported this moratorium. No new construction should be approved until the complex health and welfare issues are resolved.
Attachment 5
January 10,2022
In regards to our appeal, I do understand that we cannot introduce new topics at this point, and I appreciate the reminder about how the process works. I will include (below) the grounds for our appeal so that it is part of your records.
The basis of our appeal included four main points:
(1) Substantive design issues were not addressed due to the late submission of the applicant's plans and inadequate interpretation of the Shoreline Overlay District. We named the design issues as: mass of the proposed development, non-reflective surfaces and acceptable vegetation. We also specifically outlined the Shoreline Overlay District language that includes that the "development shall be sited, designed and undertaken so that it is harmonious with the character of the site and the surroundinR environmental setting to the maximum extent feasible....Buildings and landscaping in shoreline areas shall be oriented and located such that they preserve public views of the Bay from public rights-of-wav....Visual access to the Bay and scenic_vistas^fwateLand district shorelines shall be protected, and the Planning Commission may impose reasonable conditions of approval to ensure that this object is met." The Planning Commission is responsible for enforcing the Shoreline Overlay District, but it appears that there isn't a thorough understanding of the Ordinance by the City Commissioners. Due to the confusion about how to enforce the Ordinance, the Commissioners discussed it as though it is a subjective requirement and therefore difficult, if not impossible, to enforce. As residents of the neighborhood, the idea of building a house that is "harmonious with the character of the site and the surrounding environmental setting to the maximum extent feasible" does not feel confusing. It requires development that follows the contour and the slope of the land, and visual public access to the Bay for the hundreds of walkers who use our neighborhood to escape the density of the city.
The proposed development affects views from the street directly in front of the house, but also from the street above (Casey Drive) that leads to Western Drive. Public views will be impacted from several vantage points in the area.
The requirements of the City's Shoreline Overlay District Ordinance were not met because the development is not harmonious with the site, does not follow the contour of the land, and does not protect public visual access to the Bay and shoreline. The late submission of the applicant's plans did not allow the Commissioners and City Staff to effectively evaluate the proposal at the October 7th Planning Commission meeting. As a result, the Commissioners relied heavily on a verbal presentation and a drawing shared by the applicant via zoom/ without the Commissioners or City Staff having the chance to review the written revisions submitted by the applicant. Approval without reviewable plans is unacceptable.
(2) The Planning Commission approval is invalid due to violations of both the Brown Act and due process. A subcommittee of the DRB was formed, without any transparency with the public, without noticing or reporting of those meetings, and without a return to the full DRB for a vote on the applicant's plans.
According to our attorney, the Planning Commission and Design Review Board are separate deliberative bodies under the City of Richmond Municipal Code. The Planning Commission cannot set up a sub-committee of the DRB; they do not have this authority. All deliberations of the DRB must be properly noticed and conducted in public per the Brown Act. In seeking to approve the project, the Planning Commission overstepped their authority and called upon a subset of the DRB to work with the applicant, at the applicant's request (!). Any business conducted in such a meeting is invalid and cannot be used to approve of a project. The subset of the DRB provided an "active and significant" role in advising the Planning Commission and on September 16th, the applicant reported that the DRB supported his plans and approved of the changes. This is not true and is a procedural due process violation as the DRB had already acted on November 18th, 2020 with seven architects recommending denial of the applicant's project. Case law in Nightlife Partners v. the City of Beverly Hills (2003) finds that due process requires a fair and unbiased decision be made and this cannot be achieved via a subset of the DRB. The hierarchy of the Planning Commission relative to the DRB was muddled in this application, in violation of procedural due process precedent. As a result, the Planning Commission decision is invalid, and we ask that the approval be overturned. The remedy is for the applicant to be directed to return to the full Design Review Board. (3) There is a de facto moratorium on sewer hookups on Western Drive that includes this property.
The present sewer system is known to be inadequate and to pose significant public health and welfare issues to the citizens of Richmond. The City Council met on this issue on September 28, 2021 and it was stated in that meeting that despite there being several undeveloped properties along the shoreline in Point Richmond that could offer tax revenue to the city, no further sewer hookups should be permitted in the area of 357 Western Drive. Both Mayor Butt and PUblic Works Director Joe Leach said that there is a de facto moratorium on new sewer hook-ups along Western Drive.
THe approval by the Planning Commission includes the following statement: A requirement for approval is the demonstration that the proposed development is "adequately served by....sewer....and other public facilities and services".
The PC is required to make a finding that the property is served by all necessary utilities. It cannot currently make that finding about 357 Western Drive because the property is not served by a sanitary sewer system with adequate capacity for additional discharge from new construction.
I am an avid swimmer and I often swim parallel to that very sewer line. I also know that, on warm days, Keller beach and the local parks are packed with Richmond residents who seek relief from the heat of the city at our shared shoreline beaches. The sewer line is risking the health of our local community, making the shoreline unsafe for public recreation. Allowing further sewer hook-ups under the current conditions is short-sighted and, from a health perspective, unconscionable. Until this situation is remedied, no new sewer connections can be sanctioned.
(4) The applicant and his architect have not held discussions with community members and neighbors, despite their claim that they have.
While such discussions aren't required, they are a vital way of showing respect for the community. Balancing individual wishes with community well-being is a major issue these days in our country and our community. It would be reasonable to propose such meetings in an effort to arrive at compromise.
The applicant also states that the Neighborhood Council approved his plans and is in favor of his proposed development. While he did gain the approval of the Neighborhood Council, the truth is that the "plans" that were presented to the Neighborhood Council could be characterized more as pictures than as architectural plans. There were no metrics or dimensions associated with his presentation to the Neighborhood Council, and it was there that the idea of a "green wall" was introduced as a way to mitigate the enormous mass of the proposed design - a blank wall that towers over the down-hill neighbor. Instead of recommending a structure with less mass and more elegant and harmonious design, the Neighborhood Council introduced impractical ideas that were not based on reliable dimensions or metrics. The Neighborhood Council was unaware of, and so did not evaluate, the Shoreline Overlay District Ordinance.
We have offered before and will continue to suggest that City Councilmembers (and anyone else!) come to the building site. Don't take our word for it... Please come see the property and our neighborhood.
Thank you again for your time and consideration. I really appreciate all of the work that you are doing to maintain the city's integrity throughout this process.
Sincerely,
Claire

Subject: Potential Formation of a Community Facilities District for Point Molate
FINANCIAL IMPACT: A Fiscal Impact Study was prepared on behalf of the developer, and the Study was peer reviewed by the City’s consultant. The Study projects a positive long-term
impact of the development. However, adverse fiscal
impacts in the short term are possible.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
This item was agendized for January 25,2022, but not
completed. The consultant team for the Community
Facilities District formation was approved at meeting of November 23, 2021.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
As a condition of the Disposition and Development
Agreement for the Point Molate Mixed -Use Development
Project, it is prudent and necessary to identify, quantify, and study the potential impacts on the City, the
community of Richmond, and the future
homeowners/taxpayers in the development area of using
the tax-exempt financing mechanisms authorized under
a Community Facilities District (the Mello Roos Act) to fund a major portion of the infrastructure required by the development entitlements of the project .
AGENDA
REPORT
February 1, 2022
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RECEIVE information and quantitative analysis regarding the potential formation of a Community Facilities District for the Point Molate development project; and after
deliberation, CONSIDER providing any policy direction,
as needed, regarding formation of a Community Facilities District for the Point Molate development project – –
Finance Department (Belinda Brown 510-620-6740).
This item was continued from the January 25, 2022,
meeting.
DISCUSSION:
The formation of land -secured financing districts, as permitted by State law, are utilized to finance the construction, development, and operation of the master infrastructure, offsite improvements, and master developer amenities in connection with various projects and the development of a property.
During the entitlement phase of land use planning, a Fiscal Impact Study 1 was prepared by EPS on behalf of the developer, and the Study was peer reviewed 2 by the City’s consultant. These studies were reviewed by the City Council prior to the granting of development entitlements in September 2020. The EPS study projects a positive long -term impact of the development. However, adverse fiscal impacts in the short term are possible. This short-term impact has the potential to occur should operating costs exceed the tax revenues derived from the project before the project is completely built out. Please see additional details following on page 4 under Answers to Council questions - Fiscal Impact of Point Molate.
Also during the entitlement phase of the land use planning and/or project planning for Point Molate, the City was asked and agreed to include provisions in its Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) and its Development Agreement (“DA”) to cooperate with developers in the formation of these financing districts, including landscape and lighting maintenance districts, community facilities districts, benefit assessment districts, ge ologic hazard abatement districts, and tax -exempt financing mechanisms.
The City is obligated under the terms of its DDA and its DA to work with Winehaven Legacy LLC, aka SunCal, to form a Community Facilities District (“CFD”) for the potential Point Molate project.

February 1, 2022
As noted previously, one mechanism of land -secured financing is the CFD. On November 23, 2021, the City Council authorized the City to assemble a team to study the proposed project and develop the various quantitative analysis and legal documents that are necessary for the formation of a Community Facilities District. The City Council and team have identified policy questions that the Council is being asked to consider.
City Council Questions. At their November 23, 2021, council meeting, members of the Council directed staff to address certain policy questions related to the formation of a CFD for Point Molate:
What impact will the proximity of the project to the nearby Chevron Richmond Refinery have on the price of the proposed for -sale units in Point Molate? What impact will the combined tax rates, including those levied under the authority of the proposed CFD, have on the price of for -sale units in Point Molate?
Is there a market for units in Point Molate at the sales prices proposed in the financing plan contained in the DDA?
Are the assumptions behind the Fiscal Impact Study done at the time of the DDA still correct?
The purpose of this Study Session is to:
1. answer those questions,
2. describe their potential impact on the proposed structure of the CFD, and
3. outline the remaining process for forming a CFD.
Answers to the November 23, 2021, questions from Council. The City retained Integra Realty Resources to prepare estimates of the sales pric es for both the for - sale units and the rental units in Point Molate, giving particular effect to (1) the proximity to the Chevron Richmond Refinery, (2) the likely CFD taxes, and (3) market demand in the Bay Area for such units. Integra is a national real estate appraisal firm with extensive California experience in preparing valuation estimates for CFD - financed real estate projects. Here is a summary of their analysis:
Proximity to the Chevron Richmond Refinery. Integra reviewed the actual home sales his tory for units in four Bay Area neighborhoods with oil refinery exposure (1) near the Phillips 66 refinery in Rodeo, (2) near the Shell refinery in Martinez, (3) on the south side of the Chevron refinery in Richmond, and (4) on the east side of the Chevron refinery in Richmond. This history was used to establish a data set of comparable property sales, with adjustments for age, size, and waterfront location for the Integra analysis.
Impacts of CFDs on home pricing. Integra interviewed developers of current projects in the Bay Area with CFDs to determine the impact of the CFD lien on home pricing. While the developers confirmed the trade -off between a
February 1, 2022
CFD lien and a lower home sales price, developers also reported b oth the preference of homebuyers and merchant -builders for units with a lower home sales price, even though it may be subject to a CFD lien. The interviewed developers reported that, without the CFD lien, merchant -builders must sell the units at a higher s ales price to pay for the costs of infrastructure and impact fees that are not financed through a CFD, and that homebuyers in today’s market prefer a lower purchase price, even if it means higher taxes.
Affordability of homes in Point Molate. Integra ana lyzed the ability of households within a 7 -mile radius of Point Molate to afford a home in Point Molate. Their analysis indicated that in total, about 17% of households within a 7-mile radius could afford to buy a new home in Point Molate.
Fiscal Impact o f Point Molate. The assumptions behind the Fiscal Impact Study were reexamined, particularly with respect to the projected operating costs of Public Safety services. The combined costs of staffing and operating the proposed combined police and fire stati on in Point Molate projected by the Fiscal Impact Study done in 2020 were estimated to be $5.2 million per year.
City staff has done a detailed analysis of the costs to staff and operate the proposed combined police and fire station in Point Molate. The up dated staff analysis indicated an annual cost of $5.355 million per year. The Fiscal Impact Study projected an annual surplus of between $1.3 million and $9 million per year, depending on what is built in Point Molate.
However, the staff analysis also ind icated a cost of about $1.7 million to acquire police and fire rolling stock for the new station. In addition, this equipment will need to be replaced over time.
While the Fiscal Impact Study shows a surplus at build out, the question remains: What is th e potential fiscal impact of a fully staffed police and fire station prior to build out? This cost may result in an interim negative fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund. In addition, there needs to be adequate funding for both the acquisition and rep lacement of police and fire rolling stock.
Implications of Integra Study for the CFD formation process. The Integra study, which factors in to the comparables Point Molate’s proximity to the Chevron Richmond Refinery, calculates higher estimated home sal es prices than were used by the financing plan in the DDA adopted in September 2020. A comparison by home product type is shown below:
PRODUCT TYPE
Single Family Low-Rise Mid-Rise

February 1, 2022
Since the total combined annual tax on a given for -sale unit is determined by the combined tax levy for all purposes, including the CFD’s purposes, and the tax rate is effectively capped at 2% of assessed valuation, Integra’s projection of higher estimated home sales prices potentially puts additional annual revenue from the CFD at a higher level.
The financing plan in the DDA assumed that the debt service required for the envisioned CFD bonds would be approximately $7 million per year; the financing plan also assumed about $1.1 million per year for maintenance of infrastructure.
Consequently, the t otal annual CFD taxes needed were about $8.1 million per year.
Taxing developed property in Point Molate at levels consistent with the Integra study would generate about $10.2 million per year. The question is, where does this potential extra money go? Her e are the possibilities being negotiated with SunCal:
- Cover interim operating costs for the new police and fire station prior to Point Molate build out
- Cover more infrastructure maintenance costs within Point Molate - Fund additional City services or n ew facilities that benefit the entire community
- Fund additional infrastructure projects for SunCal in Point Molate
Risk Mitigation of the downward movement of Sales Prices. The structure of the special tax formula for the CFD (also called the “Rate and Method of Apportionment” or “RMA”) will need to address the risk that the actual sales price points for each new project or subdivision in Point Molate may be less than those estimated at the time of CFD formation. The Rate and Method of Apportionment can address this risk through special provisions requiring a recalculation of the maximum tax rates at the time of recording of a final map for each subdivision.
The CFD negotiat ion process with SunCal. The City’s CFD formation team is negotiating the provisions of the CFD with SunCal’s team at this time. There are two key negotiating points that need to be resolved:
1. Allocation of the potential marginal increase in annual special tax revenue from Point Molate resulting from higher for sales prices, as broadly described above.
2. Prioritization and sequencing of the capital projects for Point Molate, including the police and fire station.
These issues will be addressed and reflected in two documents that will be brought before Council for approval: 1) the Rate and Method of Apportionment, and 2) the Acquisition Agreement. The Rate and Method of Apportionment will address the allocation of special tax revenues. The Acquisition Agreemen t will address the prioritization and sequencing of capital projects for Point Molate.
Proposed schedule for CFD Formation. Following policy direction from Council on the items above, staff will return at the February 15, 2022, meeting to present Goals and Policies for adoption. The City’s CFD formation team intends to bring the
February 1, 2022
Resolution of Intent, which establishes initial a pproval for the basic CFD formation documents, including the Rate and Method of Apportionment, to the City Council for consideration and approval at their meeting of February 22, 2022. The City’s CFD formation team also intends to present the Acquisition A greement for consideration and approval at the same meeting.
The Council would then hold a public hearing to receive public comments and to consider final approval of the CFD formation; this is proposed to be calendared for March 22, 2022. Formation of th e CFD by March 22, 2022, meets the deadline for CFD formation set forth by the DDA and the Amended Judgment of the federal U.S.
District Court.
POLICY SYNERGIES:
As reflected in Richmond’s Revenue Generation and Cost Recovery Policies, the City Council has identified the need to consider the potential formation of benefit assessment districts including landscape and lighting maintenance districts and community facilities districts to support the City’s revenue generation and cost-recovery policies (see Strategic Priority 1A). Formation of a Point Molate CFD is constant with this Policy.

Dear Ms. Brown:
Thank you for considering Integra Realty Resources – Sacramento for your real estate valuation and consulting needs. To follow is our findings as it relates to the market data and analyses for the purposes of aiding in the formation of a proposed Community Facilities District (CFD) to assist in the redevelopment of Point Molate. This consulting assignment includes our preliminary analysis of current home pricing and annual rental rates for non‐residential development within the boundaries of the proposed CFD.
This report is intended to comply with the requirements for a Restricted Appraisal Report contained in Standards Rule 2‐2 (b) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). As such, it presents limited discussions of the data, reasoning and analysis used in the appraisal process to develop the opinions herein.
According to the Richmond Point Molate Fiscal and Economic Impact Analysis, prepared by Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS), dated June 17, 2020, The Point Molate Project is proposed and entitled for between 1,260 and 2,040 residential dwelling units, approximately 625,000 square feet of nonresidential development and 15,000 square feet of civic/community uses. The present proposed
2 land use for Point Molate, which is excerpted from the Total Tax Rate Analysis, prepared by DPFG, calls for 1,160 for‐sale residential dwelling units and 292 for‐rent dwelling units, for a total of 1,452 residential dwelling units, and 390,774 square feet of mixed‐use restaurant/retail and office/R&D development.
Presented below is an exhibit of the Point Molate Project:
The use of public, land‐secured financing mechanisms like community facilities districts (CFDs) and assessment districts (ADs) are often used as part of the development of public infrastructure for master planned communities throughout the State of California. In fact, most new developments and redevelopments throughout the San Francisco Bay Area are encumbered by community facilities districts to aid in the financing of public improvements. Interviews with both land developers and merchant homebuilders in emerging areas and infill locations with onerous infrastructure costs, affirm land‐secured financing is necessary for residential development, and several merchant builders we’ve interviewed confirm land‐secured financing must be in place prior to acquiring developable residential lots/land for home development.
For instance, the following developments, which contain single‐family, multifamily and non‐residential (office, retail and industrial) land uses, are encumbered by a CFD for the purposes of funding public improvements:
3 Treasure Island (City and County of San Francisco) East Garriso n (County of Monterey) Mission Rock (City and County of San Francisco) Oyster Point (C ity of South San Francisco) Alameda Landing (City of Alameda) University District (City of Rohnert Park) Warm Springs (City of Fremont) Napa Pipe Redevelopment (City of Napa) Dublin Crossing (City of Dublin)
In an interview with a land developer of master planned communities, he noted land developers (sellers) will typically insist on using land‐secured financing, especially in a market where most, if not all, of the competition has it, in order to remain competitive of land prices; without the ability to transfer land‐secured debt to a buyer (in this case, a merchant homebuilder), the land prices will necessarily be higher and less appealing to a buyer. Similarly, for homebuilders, not having a CFD may seem favorable from a marketing standpoint (think sales banner out front: “NO MELLO‐ROOS”), but shoppers see the corresponding higher home prices for that builder’s homes when compared to the competition and often don’t spend enough time in the sales office to understand that the cost of ownership is the same.
For‐Sale Residential Analysis
According to the information provided and available for this analysis, the proposed Point Molate Project will include three for‐sale residential product lines: 185 single‐family homes (3,500 square foot average unit size), 173 low rise apartment and townhomes (1,800 square foot average unit size) and 802 mid‐rise condominiums (1,500 square foot average unit size). In the collection of market data we surveyed the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for recent resales of homes proximate to former or existing refineries, similar to the subjects location proximate to the Chevron refinery. In addition, we utilized The Gregory Group, who surveys active new home projects in California and Nevada, to analyze current base prices of active projects in the surrounding market area.
We surveyed four areas proximate to former or existing refineries, which included the neighborhood immediately south of the Chevron Richmond Refinery, as well as the area east of the Chevron Richmond Refinery, neighborhoods adjacent to the Phillips 66 San Francisco Refinery and the NuStar Energy within Hercules and Rodeo, and the neighborhoods adjacent to the Shell Martinez Refinery.
A summary of detached single‐family home resales within each of these queried locations since January 1, 2021 is provided in the table below. Further detail of these quires as provided by the MLS are provided at the end of this letter.
4 There is also one active detached project within Richmond, developed by William Lyon Homes; this is a small lot (2,000 sf) subdivision of 95 homes. The project summery as provided by The Gregory Group is shown on the following page; this project is located at the southeast quadrant of Marina Way S. and Wright Avenue, south of Interstate 580. It is east of the Harbor Channel and north of the Inner Harbor Basin, approximately 0.8 miles north of the waterfront.

5 The homes within this project are smaller than the average single‐family home (detached) proposed for the subject (3,500 square feet). Further, given its location further removed from the waterfront, a base price for the subject above this project is reasonable.
Of the recent single‐family home resales (detached) within the immediate area of the Chevron Richmond Refinery, the homes located to the south, most proxima te to the water are considered most similar to the subject. Two homes sold within this surveyed area:
Address Year Built Bed / Bath Home Size Sales Price 500 Tremont Avenue 2014 3 bed/3 bath 2,300 SF $1,575,000 531 Santa Fe Avenue 2006 4 bed/ 4 bath 3,161 SF $1,800,000
Considering the subject would be new construction, and considering its hillside location, based on the data herein a base price for the average 3,500 square foot home within the range of $1,800,000 and $2,000,000 is considered reasonable (approximately $514 to $571 per square foot).
6 As for the attached for‐sale product, there was limited resales within the queried areas. Specifically, there were five attached resales within a project in Martinez, adjacent to the Shell Martinez Refinery, which ranged from $650,000 and $714,688. These homes were constructed in 2016 and were between 1,874 and 2,074 square feet in size.
There are two active attached projects located in El Cerrito and Martinez. Again, given the inland location of Martinez, limited reliance is given to the active project in this market area. El Cerrito is located southeast of Richmond, east of Interstate 80. While this project does not feature a waterfront location, or close proximity to the waterfront, we have considered the current base pricing of this project in order to estimate the base price of the subject’s attached for‐sale product types (low rise apartments and townhomes, and mid‐rise condominiums).
The low‐rise apartments and townhomes are proposed to have an average unit size of 1,800 square feet, and mid‐rise condominiums 1,500 square feet. Based on the subject’s location and development along the hillside of Point Molate, it is reasonable to expect base prices towards the upper end of the range indicated by the Village 29 project (excluding the smallest (410 sf units)), which range from $928,952 to $1,598,499). Therefore, a base price for the average 1,800 square foot townhome unit within the range of $1,377,000 and $1,440,000 is considered reasonable (approximately $765 to
7 $800 per square foot), and for the 1,500 square foot condominium unit a price between $1,425,000 and $1,485,000 is reasonable (approximately $950 to $990 per square foot).
Finally, we will examine the ability to pay among prospective buyers for the highest estimated price points concluded for each of the for‐sale residential components. First, we will estimate the required annual household income based on typical mortgage parameters in the subject’s market area.
Specifically, we will employ a loan‐to‐value ratio of 80% (down payment of 20%), mortgage interest rates of 3.00%, 360 monthly payments, and a 40% ratio for the housing costs as a percent of monthly income (inclusive of principal, interest, all taxes and insurance). As alluded to above, property tax payments are accounted for in the analysis. Total taxes (ad val orem taxes, direct charges and bond payments) of 2.0% of assessed value, which includes future prop osed CFD Special Taxes, is utilized for this analysis.
The following table shows the estimate of the annual household income that would be required to afford homes priced at the estimated price points.
In the following table we show the income brackets within a seven‐mile radius of the subject along with estimates of the percentage of households able to afford the low rise townhomes priced at $1,440,000 within each income bracket. Although, a representative area of typical buyers for the subject property would likely characterize a broader area.
8 For‐Rent Residential
The for‐rent residential component is proposed to include three product lines: 68 low rise apartments and townhomes (1,500 square foot average unit size), 157 mid‐rise apartments (1,000 square foot average unit size) and 67 affordable units (800 square foot average unit size).
In the collection of market data we searched for multifamily properties have sold since January 1, 2020 within market areas surrounding Richmond, which included, but not limited to, Oakland, Berkley, Martinez, San Pablo, El Cerrito and Alameda. We compiled 21 sales; although, a majority of these properties were constructed between 1960 and 2000. Only four sales were of newer construction, between 2003 and 2020, and are summarized in the following table:
Considering the sales above, the estimated value of $400,000 per low rose apartment/townhome unit as shown in the finance place is supportable, as well as the $450,000 per mid‐rise apartment unit.
Due to the limited information available related to the affordable for‐rent units (i.e., very low, low, moderate income restrictions, etc.), it is difficult to opine on the anticipated sale price, as affordable housing transactions can be influenced by deed restrictions, housing assistance programs and whether low‐income housing tax credits (LIHTC) are available. Thus, a value to some degree less than the market rate units is probable.

9 The non‐residential component is proposed to include approximat ely 55,000 square feet of rentable restaurant/retail space, 304,580 square feet of rentable mixed use office R&D space, and 31,194 square feet of rentable office space.
According to CompStak, a nationwide commercial real estate data platform, the average commercial (office, retail and industrial) lease rate over the past six months in the Richmond/San Pablo submarket was $35.40 per square foot and an average net effective lease rate of $37.68 per square foot. The average lease term was four years and six months, while the ave rage tenant improvement allowance was $3.47 per square foot and average free rent was 2.3 months.
For purposes of analyzing non‐residential land uses encumbered by a CFD, we identified the Pacific Commons Power Center, which is part of the City of Fremont Comm unity Facilities District (CFD) No. 1 (Pacific Commons). This project was predominately constructed between 2004 and 2006. We queried CoStar Property Analytics for recent leasing activity of commercial properties (office, retail, R&D) within the Pacific Commons Power Center and the surrounding properties within the boundaries of the City of Fremont CFD No. 1 (Pacific Commons), a map of which is provided on the following page (CFD boundary lines are approximate).

* The CoStar Estimated Rent™ is CoStar’s estimated starting rent for new leases in a building. Estimated Rents are determined through a proprietary algorithm that includes several key data points, such as current historical asking rents, historical lea se transactions, market submarket trends, and more.
11 According to CoStar, the market retail lease rate for the city of Fremont is $33.40 per square foot and the market industrial lease rate is $16.53 per square foot. Based on the market averages for the city of Fremont as reported by CoStar, the data for commercial properties encumbered by a CFD (Pacific Commons) are generally consistent, if not slightly less than lease rates of unencumbered commercial properties.
In the collection of market data we searched for new lease comparable for commercial properties (office, retail, R&D) within market areas surrounding Richmond, which included, but not limited to, Oakland, Berkley, El Cerrito and Alameda. Our query identified six full service leases, three triple net leases and two modified gross leases. A majority of the comparables are of newer construction, or renovated within the last 20 years. The comparables are summarized in the following table by lease reimbursement method.

Estimated Rents are determined through a proprietary algorithm that includes se veral key data points, such as current historical asking rents, historical lease transactions, market submarket trends, and more.
12 Focusing on the newer construction, or properties renovated within the last 20 years, the market suggests a commercial lease rate within the following ranges: $62.28 to $68.88 per square foot, full service, and $45.00 to $65.00 per square foot, triple net. The modified gross lease comparables are of older construction (1962 and 1987); thus, limited reliance is placed on these comparables.
Considering the lease data presented herein, the estimated market lease rate for the subject’s non‐ residential components in the range of $60.00 to $70.00 per square foot, full service, is considered reasonable given the subject will be of new construction, but also considers the additional CAM related to special taxes (proposed CFD).

REPORT
February 1, 2022
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
Approve the Juneteenth Freedom Mural project at the
South 37th Street Underpass and rename South 37th St
Underpass to Juneteenth Freedom Underpass in
alignment with the Juneteenth Freedom Mural project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE the Juneteenth Freedom Mural Project at the
South 37th Street Underpass; ADOPT a Resolution of
Intention to rename the South 37th Street Underpass to
Juneteenth Freedom Underpass; and SCHEDULE a
Public Hearing for February 15, 2022 – Library and
Community Services Department (LaShonda
White/Ranjana Maharaj/Stephanie Ny 510-620-6523).
DISCUSSION:
At the November 3, 2021, regular meeting of the Recreation and Parks Commission, the commission recommended the approval of the Juneteenth Freedom Mural concept design at the South 37th Street Underpass. At the December 1, 2021, regular meeting of the Recreation and Parks Commission, the commission recommended the renaming of the South 37th Street Underpass to Juneteenth Freedom Underpass per the request of the Pullman Neighborhood Council. The renaming request would solely impact the underpass and not the street; therefore, the impact to safety, delivery services, and navigational routes is estimated to be minimal to post office and police and fire departments.
A public hearing has been scheduled for February 15, 2022, to consider renaming the South 37th Street Underpass to Juneteenth Freedom Underpass. Notification will be mailed to the properties and property owners within a 300-ft radius of the underpass.
Notification will be published in the West County Times which meets the requirement of posting 10 days prior to the hearing. The notice will also be sent to public safety departments and post offices in Richmond to allow for input on the impact to postal, police, and fire services.
Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council, serving as the fiscal sponsor of Pullman Neighborhood Council, received a Love Your Block Mini-Grant in the amount of $9,775 from the Community Services Department and City Manager’s Office, Economic Development to implement the Juneteenth Freedom Mural project. The Love Your Block Mini-Grant project implementation period is July 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022.
Love Your Block Mini-Grant
A resolution was approved by City Council on December 17, 2019, approving a solid waste Franchise Fee adjustment of a 7.5 percent increase to develop I Heart Richmond,
February 1, 2022
a campaign to support clean-up efforts related to the built environment and environmental quality. The funding can be used for: 1) Compliance and enforcement of local and state solid waste reduction and recycling laws; 2) Prevention of litter and blight; and 3) Improving overall environmental quality and health.
Through this funding, a total of $80,000 was allocated for the Love Your Block Mini- Grant Awards FY 2020-2022 grant cycle. The program was open to non-profit organizations with 501(c)(3) tax status and individuals and organizations utilizing a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor. Mini-grants would fund clean-up and beautification projects in the City of Richmond that would engage resident and community volunteers.
On February 2, 2021, City Council approved the Fiscal Years (FY) 2020-2022 Love Your Block Mini-Grant (LYB Mini-Grant) program guidelines, application, final report, and grant award agreement and authorized the City Manager or designee to administer grant award agreements and disburse grant funds upon selection of recipients.
The application cycle received 23 mini-grant applications, and a review panel selected 10 applications to receive Love Your Block Mini-Grant awards. Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council, serving as the fiscal sponsor of Pullman Neighborhood Council, was selected to receive $9,775 for the Juneteenth Freedom Mural project.
Juneteenth Freedom Mural
Per the Pullman Neighborhood Council, the Juneteenth Freedom Mural project “will help to beautify the Pullman Neighborhood by creating a colorful mural under the current 37th Street bridge/underpass which currently consists of bare concrete. The [South 37th St Underpass] is a main artery in the Pullman and Park Plaza Neighborhoods and thousands of cars, bicycles, and pedestrians utilize this route daily. In addition, the annual Richmond Juneteenth Parade utilizes this underpass as part of the route to the festival in Nicholl Park each June. Currently, there is nothing commemorating the Juneteenth Family Day Parade and Festival in Richmond and this mural can help celebrate, elevate and promote the visibility of one of Richmond’s unique events as well as beautify the neighborhoods.”
Pullman Neighborhood Council worked with Bay Area muralist Desi Mundo of the Community Rejuvenation Project to aid residents in the design and painting of the mural. Residents brainstormed concept ideas, reviewed designs, and finalized the concept design.
The mural concept design was presented to the Public Art Advisory Committee on September 13, 2021, and approved by the Richmond Arts and Culture Commission on September 23, 2021. The mural concept design was additionally presented to and approved by the Recreation and Parks Commission on November 3, 2021.
February 1, 2022
Juneteenth Freedom Mural Location Details
The Juneteenth Freedom Mural will be located at the South 37th Street Underpass on South 37th Street between Chanslor Avenue and Ohio Avenue. The underpass has two structures: a northern structure with BART tracks on top and a southern structure that is part of the Richmond Greenway.
The mural will be located solely on the south face of the southern structure. It will be visible to northbound travelers on South 37th Street.
Juneteenth Freedom Mural Timeline
The project will be completed by May 31, 2022. Pullman Neighborhood Council is working closely with Community Services and Public Works staff to coordinate the project, including traffic control coordination and encroachment permits.
Honoring Jerrold Hatchett in the Juneteenth Freedom Mural The Juneteenth Freedom Mural honors the great contributions of long-time Richmond resident, activist, and organizer, Jerrold Hatchett, in spearheading and preserving the annual Juneteenth festivities. Jerrold worked for almost 50 years at Richmond’s own Sims Metal as a manager where he retired and continues to actively contribute to the citizens of Richmond and play a vital role in its future.
His advocacy recognized the Juneteenth celebration as a gem that showcases community, music, art, and culture by descendants of the Great Black migration from the rural south that happened in the 20th century. The parade honors the historic achievements of its ancestors and descendants by passing through the southside neighborhood, an area that was largely settled by Black Americans from the south coming to work during World War II. While many states have actively recognized Juneteenth as a major holiday, its presence in California went largely unnoticed. Jerrold helped keep the flame alive, and it is evident now what an important holiday it has become as it is now a federal holiday.

Chair Wiley advised the materials for the mural concept designs for Pullman Underpass and Unity Park had been included in the RACC agenda packet.
Stephanie Ny, Community Services Division, supported the grantees and their p roposals and expressed her appreciation to Arts & Culture Manag er Day, the PAAC, and the RACC for its consideration of the mural designs.
2 Motion by Commissioner Dyer, seconded by Commissioner Hayes to accept both of the Love Your Block Mural Concept Designs for Pullman Underpass and Unity Park , as approved by the PAAC at its September 13, 2021 meeting, carried unanimously by a Roll Call vote.
2. West Contra Costa County Family Justice Center (WCCCFJC)
a. Panel Composition and Recommendation of Resident Panelist
Commissioner Dyer reported t he PAAC had approved a recommendation from Arts & Culture Manager Day for Richmond resident Natalia Lawrence, with further discussion to add anothe r artist from the Richmond area. Six names had been provided to Ms. Day and the WCCCFJC was to complete the panel of three by selecting either a staff person, citizen or client. Only three voting members had been recommended for the panel that involved a $10,000 award , with potentially a member of Planning staff or of the PAAC, to be added as a non-voting member.
Arts & Culture Manager Day noted that Commissioner Herriman had volunteered to serve as the non-voting member since he had a history with the project. S he was conducting research prior to contacting the six names that had been provided to confirm their residency given the focus on Richmond residents first. A panel application would be prepared due to the number of people who wanted to be in the position. She reported that Natalia Lawrence had accepted the resident Richmond position, was familiar with Richmond, and would be a great candidate.
Commissioner Dyer suggested it would be nice to have a group of people who could be called upon when needed.
Commissioner Herriman consented to serve as the non-voting member on the panel.
Motion by Commissioner Dyer , second ed by Co-Chair Cohen to accept the PAAC recommendation to form a panel of three for the West Contra Costa County Family Justice Center (WCCCFJC) to select the work, to be comprised of Richmond resident Natalia Lawrence, an artist who resided in Richmond, someone designated by the WCCCFJC, and with Commissioner Herriman to serve as a non -voting member of the panel , and potentially to include a representative from Planning staff, carried by a Roll Call vote . (Commissioner Kirk, who was having technical difficulties, abstained by not responding.)
3. Art Inventory Update
a. After some review, StoryMaps ( https://storymaps.arcgis.com is the software recommended by the IT team. A presentation will be made a t a RACC meeting, at a time TBD.
b. Artist Registry online now
City of Richmond Artist Database Form
The City of Richmond Artist Database Form is an opportunity for local artists from all media and genres available for art projects in Richmond to provide their information to the City. If you are a local artist, please fill out this form: City of Richmond Artist Database Form.
Ms. Day reported that staff had been working on the art inventory and there were quite a few Departments involved including members of the RACC and the PAAC. She described the
3 StoryMaps software which provided a virtual tour with different c ategories that needed to be classified to organize the information.
Commissioner Dyer clarified the action being asked of the RACC to vote on the categories with a limit on the number of items that could be placed on StoryMaps. She recommended breaking the number of items down to media types such as murals, sculptures, and other types of art, with the Civic Center to have its own category.
The RACC discussed whether or not to take action on the item with a recommendation to allow staff to have the authority to proceed rather than taking action on the specific categories; and Ms.
Day suggested such direction would be acceptable, allowed a starting point, and more information would be provided to the RACC at a future meeting.
Chair Wiley stated for the record that no vote was necessary. Staff was given approval to proceed on a common sense basis to separate the categories as described by Commissioner Dyer.
VI. Discussion Items
1. Establish Meeting NORMS, Conflict of Interest, Recusal Policies, Exit Zoom and Return
Ms. Day explained that the item was intended to provide a reminder when a Commissioner must recuse himself/herself from the discussion of an item during a Zoom meeting where he/she must step off the platform for that period of time and then return. Specific NORMS could be discussed at a future meeting.
Commissioner Mehas understood the NORMS had been spelled out in the Commission’s manual and that the entire City was ruled by Conflict of Interest regulations.
Chair Wiley confirmed the information in the Commission’s manual but noted that mistakes had been made in the past. As an example, two years ago, the RACC had approved a grant which had a clear conflict of interest but which had proceeded anyway. She suggested the item required no further discussion.
2. Project Budget Development for 2022 Fiscal Year – October Make a Wish List
Chair Wiley reported she had placed the item on the meeting agenda. For the October 28, 2021 meeting, she asked Commissioners to come prepared with any item desired in the budget as an expense item, such as the Make a Wish List that must be prepared as part of the City’s budget.
On the question of where to start, Chair Wiley suggested the Committee Reports could provide some clarification.
3. Committee Reports
Chair Wiley reported the Strategic Planning Committee had held a Strategic Planning Retreat with a discussion to institute, and in some cases re-institute, committees that were part of the RACC, recognizing the PAAC was its own entity as a committee given its structure and source of revenue.
The other committees were identified as the Ookwe Park Committee, with Commi ssioners Kirk, Dyer, Leighton, Beaulieu and Mehas; the Neighborhood Public Art Mini-Grant Ad Hoc Committee included Commissioner Kirk, Co -Chair Cohen and Chair Wiley; t he Poet Laureate Committee
4 included Co -Chair Cohen and Chair Wiley; and while the Fundra ising and Development Committee had no other volunteers, Chair Wiley had volunteered to sit and serve. If there was anything that those committees needed in terms of funds, they would be budget line items.
Chair Wiley asked those Commissioners not named to select a committee , meet between now and October 28, and prepare a written report on what they planned to do moving forward. The report did not have to include the budget items since that would be discussed separately at the October 28 meeting, but she wanted to know what the committee planned to do during the months of November and December 2021.
Commissioner Mehas recommended that the Chair check with legal about the Fundra ising and Development Committee.
Chair Wiley advised that while she had not spoken with the Legal Department, she had spoken with Deputy City Manager, Economic Development Shasa Curl , who had provided some guidance. As long as working within the established parameters there was no reason for legal to become involved. She had also received information about an arts fund grant program with funds from property taxes that the Contra Costa County Measure X Advisory Committee had recently approved, which might be an opportunity for the City of Richmond to pursue. In addition, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) had an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grant that could be considered along with the hope that the City of Richmond’s currently allocated $65,000 for the Neighborhood Public Art (NPA) Mini Grant program could be increased.
Commissioner Herriman expressed the willingness to serve on the Ookwe Park Committee.
Commissioner Dyer asked to switch from the Ookwe Park Committee to the Fundraising and Development Committee.
Commissioner Hayes reported she could not serve on another committee beyond the PAAC since she would be stepping down from the RACC and would be relocating to another city.
VII. Information / Report Items
1. NPA Mini Grant
Chair Wiley reminded everyone not to wait until the last minute to input scores even though they were electronic.
Commissioner Beaulieu found it was premature to do the scores when the RACC had not yet discussed the proposals.
Ms. Dyer clarified that the scores could be changed and nothing was final until the October 7 , 2021 RACC meeting.
Chair Wiley emphasized th at the votes were needed now. She urged Commissioners to input their scores to identify where they were with the NPA Mini Grants.
Ms. Day concurred with the Chair’s recommendation and asked that the scores not be left blank.
2. Poet Laureate Update
5 Co-Chair Cohen reported on a productive meeting with the Chair, Ms. Day and David Flores who was working diligently to schedule event s at CoBiz Richmond with Poet Laureates from San Francisco, Vallejo, Oakland, and El Cerrito. He explained that Mr. Flores had created a sample program outline and flyers and wanted to host smaller poetry event s on Zoom during the month of October.
Chair Wiley was excited for the City of Richmond to host the event and commented that no city had hosted the Bay Area Regi onal Poet Laureates and Richmond had pioneered this kind of programming.
3. Art for Peace Rotary Project Update
Commissioner Herriman did not have an update since not much ha d happened, although a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was being prepared to be reviewed by the project participants with a meeting scheduled for Friday, October 1 , 2021. After that meeting he would have something more concrete to report.
Chair Wiley stated all Commissioners had been provided a copy of the MOU and were invited to provide any comments to Ms. Day so that they could be forwarded as appropriate.
4. Art Project Update Report
Ms. Day explained that an Inventory Committee would be required given the number of participants a ttending inventory meetings , and as-built con struction drawings for the Senior Center Mural had been received, as requested, in order to provide a cost estimate.
5. Public Art Financial Report
Chair Wiley reported she had requested information on the City of Richmond’s procedure s to have requests from the PAAC approved, with information to be provided in the RACC packet on the City’s procurement processes. She asked Commissioners to keep the information on file as to the steps and timelines that could be adjusted.
Chair Wiley referenced how the R ACC in the past had worked under the Library Services Department, with a number of challenges involved and with little access to information or cooperation as compared to what the RACC currently enjoyed under the City Manager’s Office.
She found that more was being accomplished more smoothly under the current configuration and she thanked everyone for their patience during that transition.
Commissioner Dyer clarified the Public Art Financial Report involved funds that were primarily being collected through the one percent for art, and some of the projects were man aged by the RACC and some by others. S ome of the funds involved in-lieu funds but they still had to make plans to spend the funds As a member of the PAAC, she commented that it had to look almost a full year if not up to 18 months out on where it might want to be pulling out the money for public art in the City of Richmond for planned projects.
Chair Wiley cautioned that the City of Richmond had been impacted like every other community in the country in the last 18 months due to COVID -19. She did not want the RACC funds to be poached for lack of planning.
6 Commissioner Mehas suggested if projecting the needs for the next 12 to 18 months, the RACC also needed cooperation from the Planning Department to identify what projects were approximately 12 to 18 months out.
Chair Wiley suggested it was up to the PAAC to establis h a relationship with the Planning Department and if staff was not providing something requested by the PAAC she asked to be informed.
Ms. Day acknowledged the number of changes that had occurred over the last year with the City’s policies and procedures, the fact the Finance Division had to implement policies and procedures with the RACC that were actually in writing which they currently did not have. Staff would work with legal and the Finance Division over the course of the next couple of months to pre pare a chart similar to the procurement policies the Finance Division normally followed that could be created into a policy that was art specific.
Co-Chair Cohen asked whether or not there would be any time constraints for this fiscal y ear given that it may take up to 18 months for a project to occur. Familiar with how funds were utilized by the school district, it not used by the end of the fiscal year, funds could be restored to the General Fund. He asked if that was something the RACC should be concerned about.
Commissioner Dyer clarified the funds being discussed were not part of the General Fund and that the use of the funds were specified for certain expenditures. She suggested it would be very difficult to poach the funds unless there were maintenance issues.
Ms. Day clarified that General Fund items were items like the NPA Mini Grants , which was why there was a push to ensure that all invoices were in before the deadline , since there had been issues in the past with invoices coming in after the deadline when the funds had been shifted.
Chair Wiley understood that would not affect the one percent and noted the RACC meeting of October 7 would include not only the selection of the NPA Mini Grant awards but backups to ensure the use of the funds. She clarified her previous comments that she had included the one percent in the monies that could be poached but stated that was not the case.
VIII. Adjourn until October 7, 2021 (Special Meeting)
The meeting adjourned at 6:46 p.m. to a Special Meeting of the RACC immediately after the Regular Meeting to conduct NPA Mini Grant Interviews from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. via Zoom.

She emphasized that other bodies already existed that may meet the Commission’s objectives.
Chair Smith stated the process had been proposed prior to some of the youth organizations referenced by Ms. White. She clarified there had been no intent to restrict voting; there had been challenges with administrative support and there was a desire to identify the process of getting the work done.
For next steps, Ms. White explained that staff time was limited; she recommended ways to meet the objectives through existing programs with staff assistance for outreach and potential mentorship to interested youth.
On the discussion, it was clarified that since the proposal had yet to be submitted to the City Council, it could be modified. The City Attorney’s office would also have to approve the legality of the proposal prior to making recommendation to the City Council.

DISCUSSIONS & ACTION ITEMS
4 Approve the Juneteenth Freedom Mural Project at the South 37th Underpass and Approve a request to rename the South 37th Underpass to Juneteenth Freedom Underpass – Stephanie Ny
Stephanie Ny, Community Services Department, presented the item on behalf of the Pullman Neighborhood Council to request approval of a proposed Juneteenth Freedom Mural Project and to rename the South 37th Street underpass to the Juneteenth Freedom Underpass. The mural project had already been approved by the Public Arts Advisory Commission (PAAC) and the Richmond Arts & Culture Commission (RACC). She presented photographs of the site, described the design process, noted the project had been expected to be completed by October but the timeline had been extended, and the mural would also honor Jerrold Hatchett, instrumental in the City of Richmond’s Juneteenth celebrations.
Michelle Milam, a member of the Juneteenth Committee; Jan Mignone, President of the Richmond Coordinating Neighborhood Council and the fiscal sponsor for the proposal; Madalyn Law, President of the Park Plaza Neighborhood Council; Jonas Juhlin, a member of the Pullman neighborhood committee; Naomi Williams, President of the Pullman Neighborhood Council; Clarita Griffin from the Pullman Neighborhood Council and a member of the Beautification Block Party and the Mural Committees spoke in favor of this item describing efforts put forward by Jerold Hatchett to keep Juneteenth alive, and to acknowledge Richmond’s rich history to Juneteenth. The speakers also suggested the shaded area and the opposite side of the underpass should also be addressed in the future.
Winifred Day, Arts and Culture Manager, stated the project had been approved by the PAAC in September for the concept design and no other parts of the project had been discussed.
Jerrold Hatchett was available to speak but could not connect with the Zoom meeting.
Motion by Commissioner Bana to approve the Juneteenth Freedom Mural Project at the South 37th Underpass and to approve a request to rename the south 37th Underpass to Juneteenth Freedom Underpass, seconded by Commissioner Kaser. Motion failed since the Commission had not received and reviewed a copy of the initial renaming documentation. Chair Smith expressed concern moving forward with that action and recommended moving forward with the mural. She said as soon as the documentation on the renaming was available for review, then the Commission could pursue the renaming portion of the proposal.
Motion by Commissioner Bana to approve the Juneteenth Freedom Mural Project at the South 37th Underpass, seconded by Commissioner Kaser, and carried unanimously by a voice vote.
The renaming portion of the request was moved to the December meeting.
Receive an update regarding the City’s Parks Master Plan – Staff
Ms. Maharaj noted that Mr. Hardesty was no longer at the meeting to report on the item, although she was aware that funding would be needed to hire Marcia Vallier as the landscape architect to conduct the Master Plan upgrade, which involved a lot of community input.
Vice Chair Havenar-Daughton referred to the goals associated with the Master Plan and asked for an
5 update on the progress that had been made with those goals in the last ten years.
Commissioner Kaser recommended that items associated with City staff be clustered together early on each agenda to be more respectful of staff time.
The agenda was taken out of order at this time.
Create a Kiosk concept paper for a “Walk of Honor” to be installed as part of the Yellow Brick Road Commissioner Hurlbut provided a detailed background to the request to honor people with a walk of honor. She explained that because the Yellow Brick Road project had received approval and funding in the millions, Toody Maher had been contacted because she had been thinking of the same kind of honor. A concept paper had been proposed and the Recreation & Parks Commission had supported pursuit of an honors project.
Winifred Day, Arts & Culture Manager, sought more information prior to submittal to the PAAC and the RACC. She suggested that a member of the Recreation & Parks Commission attend those meetings to make a presentation when ready to do so.
Cordell Hindler, Richmond, liked the idea of a Kiosk and invited Commissioners to the Neighborhood Coordinating Council where a walk of honor had previously been discussed.
Commissioner Hurlbut clarified that no concept paper had been developed at this point and she recommended the designation of a Kiosk Committee to finalize the concept and explain the history of a potential walk of honor.
Chair Smith verified the formation of a Kiosk Committee, to be comprised of Commissioners Hurlbut, Thompson and Chair Smith.
Receive an update on the Statement of Policy and Guidelines for Naming or Re-naming of Parks, Facilities and Streets – Ranjana Maharaj
Ms. Maharaj presented the Statement of Policy and Guidelines for Naming or Re-naming of Parks, Facilities and Streets document.
Commissioner Hurlbut commented that the document being presented was not the latest that had been developed.
Ms. Maharaj described the changes that had been proposed and stated that once the document had been approved by the Recreation & Parks Commission it would go to the City Council.

Ms. Day described what the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust was currently doing as part of Adopt a Park to maintain Ookwe Park along with the City’s maintenance efforts, and the RACC’s plans to finish the directional and didactic signage along with a plan to pursue some educational activities - a partnership that had been working well. She also noted that public schools were using the park as a field trip location.
Vice Chair Havenar-Daughton clarified that the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust had not made the request but he recognized a strong movement to return land to indigenous communities and described this proposal as a first step.

PRESENTATIONS
Update on Pickleball Program – Darlene Drapkin
Darlene Rios Drapkin, USA Pickleball Association Ambassador, East Bay Pickleball Association noted that the Commission had voted in June 2021 to allow the conception of a Pickleball Program. She pointed out the multi-purposing that had been made to the two existing tennis co urts at Booker T. Anderson, Jr.
Park for six temporary pickleball courts. She referred to court fees paid to the City and requested that the City consider waiving those fees. She noted that a theft of temporary equipment in November had crippled the program.
Ms. Drapkin explained that there were few pickleball courts in Richmond. She proposed a solution to meet the existing demand for pickleball in Richmond was to place two pickleball courts using the existing lines to allow two dedicated courts. She requested that the Commission repurpose one tennis court in the park so that two permanent pickleball courts could be installed at no cost to the City.
3 Gary Hurlbut, Richmond, stated that while he was a pickleball supporter , the loss of one tennis court would leave only one court for tennis at the park. He explained that the tennis courts at the park had been utilized by Richmond youth programs, with 230 youth on the courts in 2019.
Shoshana Grammer, Richmond, a pickleball player, noted that 1,300 people had come out in the last few months to play pickleball and there were options to consider, which could include building new pickleball courts.
Michelle Temple, Richmond, stated that pickleball had come to Richmond with a smash in August and since then hundreds of players had come in and the sport had united people of all ages in a healthy activity.
Ahmad Anderson, a Richmond Economic Development Commissioner and son of Booker T. Anderson, stated the issue was about inclusiveness and a way to join both tennis and pickleball together. He advised that pickleball had increased participation, inclusion and engagement. He appealed to the Commission to help move the program forward.
Cheryl Maier, with Richmond Friends of Recreation, a non-profit agency helping the City by stewarding special funds for parks and recre ation at the request of the City, emphasized the need for some compromise.
Debra Bernhardt, echoed the comments of others and noted that all the tennis courts at Indian Wells would be temporarily converted to pickleball courts for the Nationals , where 2,800 pickleball players would participate from children to 90 -year olds, disabled and others . She emphasized that pickleball would be a good addition to the community.
Eduardo Martinez, a member of the Richmond City Council , noted that while he had initially been skeptical about pickleball, he had seen what a great community building vehicle it was. He stated a lock box would not be a solution and there was a need to create a situation to help pickleball grow and be established in the City of Richmond.
Phillip Moss, Richmond, stated the permanent pickleball courts would give everyone the opportunity to play pickleball in a walk -on, play and leave situation. He requested the support for the two pickleball courts given the informal, inexpensive effort involved.
Commissioner Hurlbut pointed out that the Nystrom area was a very large unused area that would be a perfect permanent location for pickleball courts where there could be six courts instead of two. She objected to having to remove lines that had already been paid for to convert the courts from tennis to pickleball.
Ms. Drapkin clarified that the two courts would be placed on the existing lines and while she supported use of the Nystrom area, she explained that would be a long-term and not a short-term solution and would involve a lot of investment.
Commissioner Saini asked if the proposal would interrupt those who wanted to play tennis.
Tetteh Kisseh, Recreation Program Coordinator, clarified that for the proposal to be approved it would first require approval from the neighborhood council and the Recreation & Parks Commission. He noted that both programs had equal power and if approved there would be pickleball on one side and tennis on the other evenly distributed. In response to Commissioner Bana as to whether pickleball could be considered in the El Sobrante Valley area or at De Anza High School, he stated that the City had been
4 exploring other possibilities of expansion in Richmond.
Ms. Temple spoke to the popularity of pic kleball throughout the Bay Area. She urged the Commission to offer some permanent solutions to the situation where over $2,000 had been lost in the theft.
Mr. Anderson commented that while the pickleball organizers had contacted the West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) w ith respect to the use of the tennis courts on school properties, there were issues with respect to WCCUSD control and insurance that had made the use of those courts difficult if not impossible.
Mr. Martinez confirmed that it would be unwieldly to do anything with the WCCUSD unless it was with respect to tournaments or something special.
Ms. Drapkin reported that Don Low , former Executive Director of the YMCA in Richmond, had submitted a comment on Chat to request a permanent pickleball course in Richmond.
Ms. Bernhardt pointed out that the money being collected for pickleball was being submitted to the City of Richmond.
Ms. Drapkin requested that the comments submitted to the City be shared with the pickleball organization.
Master Fee Schedule – Hope Lattell
Hope Lattell, Senior Accountant, presented updates to the Recreation & Parks Department portion of the Master Fee Schedule and stated this year the updates were fairly minimal. She identified the changes requested, the fee updates that were all fairly minimal, an d pointed out the fees involved to make the department more self-sufficient.
Vice Chair Havenar-Daughton commented that some of the fees appeared to be low, such as alcohol sales at the convention center. He asked about the criteria used to determine the relative increase and requested a report on the amount of revenue generated for each of the line items.
Ms. Lattell stated that information could be provided. She added that the idea was to slowly present an incremental increase to get close to being self-sufficient.
Commissioner Kaser requested that the slides be presented to the Commission ahead of time given that the Zoom presentation was too small to read. She noted the difference between raising revenue and covering costs, and with respect to the policing of even ts, she wanted to make sure that Richmond residents could still get together for a protest, ceremonies, or block parties, among others.
Ms. Lattell noted the delicate balance of making a little bit of money to help offset the free programming to allow the City to continue to provide the programs. She had done cost recovery calculations on every program offered and was very mindful of the impact to residents.
Commissioner Saini wanted to be able to utilize the Richmond Auditorium more efficiently and a sked about the occupancy of the auditorium.
A discussion developed on the protocols involved in the renting of the auditorium to ensure the safety,
5 security and maintenance of the facility.
In response to Commissioner Bana, Ms. Lattell detailed the fees that depended on the size of demonstrations, and the fees related to administrative work related to coordinating the events.

Subject:
Final Adjustments to Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The full reduction of disallowed costs of the Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) receivables totaled $10.4
million, which was $4.3 million more than what was
originally approved by City Council. Based on U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Public
Housing Authority Recovery and Sustainability (PHARS)
agreement with the City and CVR Associate’s report
regarding the RHA repayment plan, as well as the
recommendations from the City’s auditors, a decision
was made to fully reduce RHA’s receivables. The
financial impact of the change results in a reduction of $4.3 million set aside for City’s reserves balance. On
June 29, 2021, staff projected an ending reserve balance of 14.3 percent; however, the $4.3 million reduction will decrease the reserve balance to 12.5 percent.

DISCUSSION:
FY 2020-2021 Budget Update
On June 29, 2021, as part of the budget process, staff initially estimated Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-2021 would end with a surplus of $15.5 million. As the final numbers started to settle, the estimate increased to nearly $20.9 million as stated in the October 26, 2021 budget presentation. The $5.4 million increase in revenues over expenses is a combination of various items. On the revenue side, the main item is additional Transfer Tax received. The sale of three properties alone in the last quarter of FY 2020-2021 brought in nearly $5 million. On the expenditure side, the main reduction is the Professional Services expense category which was about $1 million less than the previous projection. The original forecast assumed the full amount of encumbrances would be expended, but when that did not happen, expenditures in this category reduced the forecasted amount.

Proposed Uses of FY 2020-2021 Surplus
On June 29, 2021, as part of the adopted budget, City Council approved the various expenditures listed below to be funded by the original projected surplus:
February 1, 2022
Proposed Uses:
Reimagining Public Safety -1,300,000 Used in FY2021-22/Employment & Training Fund (E&T)
Community Facility
Improvements -1,700,000 Used in FY2021 -22/Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Fund
Staff Compensation – One
Time Payment -2,300,000 Used in FY2021-22

Set aside for Reserves -3,000,000 To be used in FY2021-22 Total Approved Uses: -$15,519,567
On October 26, 2021, Finance staff provided an update to City Council regarding the FY 2020-2021 budget and shared that the ending surplus would increase by $5.35 million, from $15.5 million, to an estimated $20.87 million. City Council approved the following additional expenditures to be funded by the projected surplus:
Proposed Uses:
Set aside for possible
Measure U shortfall -2,000,000 Set aside in FY2020-21 to be used in FY2021-22 if needed
Additional GF Expenditures -229,000 Used in FY2021-22
Reduce RHA liability -3,128,968 Used in FY2020-21
Total Approved Uses: -$5,357,968
Actual Uses of FY 2020-2021 Surplus
Towards the end of the City’s annual fiscal audit, it was determined that $10.4 million of the RHA receivable was uncollectable. Once that determination was made, the additional receivable of $4.3 million had to be written off. It is important to note that the RHA write-off issue came from the City’s investments over numerous years to help support the maintenance and renovation of 783 public housing units, assist RHA in meeting obligations to program participants and HUD, and uplifting and supporting the health and safety of RHA’s residents.
The funding for the additional $4.3 million write-off will come from the City’s reserves. Of the $7.2 million originally projected for reserves, as shared during the June 29, 2021 City Council meeting, only $2.1 million will now be available to increase the City’s reserves.
Other appropriations of the surplus such as Reimagining Public Safety, Community Facilities Improvements, staff one time compensation, Measure U set aside, and additional expenses remained unchanged.

Impact on the City’s Reserve Balance
Based upon communication with the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and consistent with advice from the City’s auditors, staff allocated a total of $10.4 million toward the write off of Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) liability to the City. Despite the write off, as of June 30, 2021, the City’s reserves increased by $2.1 million to $22,477,829, or 12.5 percent of the FY 2021-2022 General Fund Expenditures (excluding Operating Transfers Out). Per current policy, the City’s goal is to maintain a year-end contingency reserve balance of a minimum of 15 percent of the next year’s budgeted General Fund expenditures. To meet the policy reserve level, the City would need to set aside an additional $4.5 million.
NEXT STEPS:
Staff will return in February to the City Council with budget updates for FY 2021-2022.

DISCUSSION:
The Finance Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to select firms of certified public accountants to audit City’s financial statements, and financial statements AGENDA
REPORT
January 25, 2022
of component entities, including the Richmond Housing Authority, for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2020, through June 30, 2022, with an option to extend the contract in one-year periods, not to exceed a total of two additional fiscal years. Based on th e audit RFP and interview rating matrixes, Badawi and Associates scored the highest points and was selected as our external auditors.
Badawi and Associates, the City of Richmond’s external auditors, have audited financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Richmond as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Badawi and Associates have completed the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the year ended June 30, 2021. The Independent Auditor’s Report states:
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
“The financial statements of the Richmond Housing Authority and RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation, and RHA RAD LLC have not been audited for the year ended June 30, 2021. The Richmond Housing Authority’s financial activities are included in the City’s basic financial statements as a major enterprise fund and represent 10.85 percent, 22.20 percent, and 6.19 percent of the assets, net position, and revenues, respectively, of the City’s business-type activities. The financial activities of the RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation, and RHA RAD LLC are included in the City’s financial activities as discretely presented component units and represent the City’s only discretely presented component units.”
Disclaimer of Opinion
“Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on the financial statements of the business-type activities, Richmond Housing Authority Enterprise Fund, and the aggregate discretely presented component units of the City. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on these financial statements.”
Note: Maze and Associates, external auditors for the Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) audits for the fiscal years ended, June 30, 2018, and 2019, are working to complete these respective audits by the end of this current fiscal year. Once these prior audits have been completed, Badawi and Associates will work to complete the RHA audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, and 2021. As a result, we do not expect to receive a “Disclaimer of Opinion” for our audits ending June 30, 2022.
Unmodified Opinions
“In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the General Fund, the Community Development and Loan Programs Special Revenue Fund, the
January 25, 2022
Port of Richmond Enterprise Fund, the Municipal Sewer Enterprise Fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2021, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.”

RICHMOND, CA 94804
(510) 620-6740
December 31, 2021
Citizens of the City of Richmond
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
We are pleased to present the Annual Comprehe nsive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Richmond, California (City). The Finance Depart ment has prepared this report to present the financial position and the results of the City’s operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, and the cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then ende d. The basic financial statements and supporting schedules have been pr epared in compliance with Article IV, Section 1(b)3 of the City Charter, with California Government Code Sections 25250 and 25253, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for local governments as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
This report consists of management’s represen tations concerning the fi nances of the City.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft or misuse, and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement.
As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects.
The City Council is required to adopt an initial budget for the fiscal year to be effective July 1, for the ensuing fiscal year. Budgeted expenditures are adopted through the passage of a resolution.
