General Fund Revenue Assumptions to Date
Revenue Category Assumptions
PROPERTY TAXES Assessed Value (AV) Growth based on (1) most properties increasing by State posted CPI (usually 2% max), (2) plus, for the properties that sold in 2021, the new value minus the previous value, and (3) the value of the Chevron Refinery. Staff usually assumes the Chevron refinery will stay the same - 0% AV growth for that component.

SALES & USE TAX 4% growth per the consultant; Vehicle License Fee Backfill Swap tied to AV growth, same as Secured Property Taxes.

UTILITY USERS TAX (UUT) Analysis in part provided by consultant. Growth rates applied to individual revenue streams with the UUT category - cable and Telecom historically have been going down due to industry changes. Settlement amount is set and due to go away after FY24-25. Cap amount paid by Chevron is based on Energy Services CPI for the Bay Area which through the posted rates through February is extremely high.

OTHER TAXES Each revenue stream within Other Taxes changes year-to-year based on independent influences; both garbage fees are up by 4% based on historical changes; Hotel Tax up 5% based on rebounding industry; Transfer Tax budgeted amount based on formula in Guiding Fiscal Policy that mandates we use the mean since implementation of the voter approved tiered structure; gas and electricity franchise changes stem from using same growth factor as UUT .

LICENSES, PERMITS & FEES Main item is Business Tax and are using growth factor of 2% as a conservative CPI. Still new revenue stream so we still do not know what the full year amount will be.

FINES & FORFEITURES Parking citations flat and Muni Court Fines with 1.4% growth USE OF MONEY & PROPERTY Flat - zero growth
CHARGES FOR SERVICES Most items entered by corresponding departments based on their estimated level of service and total corresponds to 4.3% growth OTHER REVENUE Very unpredictable. Usually very little budgeted here, but items get added as received.

RENTAL INCOME Rental Income is determined based on the Council approved agreements and/or fees established through the Master Fee Schedule INTERGOV STATE TAXES Motor Vehicle Fees increase based on YTD actuals in FY21-22 INTERGOV OTHER GRANT Only grants with award letters are budgeted PROCEED FROM SALE PROPERTY Pending budget, based on historic trend OPERATING TRANSFERS IN Based on Analysis of the Pension Tax Override fund, estimated AV growth, minus scheduled uses. Left over funds are transferred to the General Fund 4

Risk Management Reserve
• The Risk Management Budget is comprised of:
• Claims Costs
• Insurance Premiums
• Legal Costs
• Administrative Costs (Risk Management staff salaries, benefits and operating expenses)
• These costs are then allocated to City Departments using a formula that includes number and costs of claims, number of employees, and payroll costs to determine the percentage of their contribution. 13

Risk Management Budget Comparison
14

Page 742 of 1235 ends

FY 22/23 Risk Management Budget
• The original, proposed Risk Management budget increased by 14.5% due to increased claims costs, self-insured retention threshold increase, and higher insurance premiums.
• Through the budget development process, the budget was refined and adjusted.
• To reduce the fiscal impact on City departments, a reduced budget has been submitted to Council with the plan to revisit the budget at mid - year.
15

Page 743 of 1235 ends

The Risk Management Insurance Reserves
• The Insurance Reserves is the mechanism through which the allocations flow and Risk Management program is funded.
• Funding at the 80% confidence level, which is mandated by Council resolution, provides an 80% chance of being able to pay for the self- insured portion of the City’s Worker's Compensation and General Liability claims. This is a benchmark for self-insurance program funding throughout the industry for public entities.
• The City is currently at the 61% confidence level and is projected to be at the 59% confidence level at the close of this fiscal year. 16

DATE: June 7, 2022
TO: Mayor Butt and Members of the City Council
FROM:

Dave Aleshire, Interim City Attorney
Joe Leach, Director of Public Works
Subject:

Reintroduce an Ordinance (First Reading) to Revise and
Amend Richmond Municipal Code Chapter 12.30
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact related to this item at this phase of consideration. However, the proposed
amendment to Chapter 12.30 does add provision(s)
addressing “private landowner” encroachments into the
public Right-of-Way. These newly added provisions may
potentially increase costs in staff time for application review; notice provisions; et al. Any private owner
applying for an encroachment agreement pursuant to
Chapter 12.30 would also remit fees as set forth in the Master Fee Schedule; such additional revenue may
offset potential increases in staff time.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

9/28/21: City Council directed City staff to draft an
Ordinance addressing encroachments into the public
ROW. 12/21/21: City staff presents Ordinance to City
Council for consideration. City Council directs City staff to provide revisions. 4/5/22: Revised Ordinance presented
for first reading; City Council directs City staff to make minor revisions. 4/19/22: Revised Ordinance presented
for second reading. City Council requests further
revisions and continues the matter.

June 7, 2022

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The City’s Municipal Code (the “RMC”) contains two
chapters that address encroachments into the public
Right-of-Way (“ROW”) -- Chapter 12.29 (“Street Opening
and Pavement Restoration Regulations”) and Chapter

12.30 (“Video Service Provider, Utility and Special District Encroachments”). Neither chapter addresses private
landowner encroachments into the unimproved public
ROW. City has used a variable ad hoc process to grant
Encroachment Agreements in the past. Further, neither
chapter currently addresses easements or street
vacations. Consideration of proposed amendments
include: revise Chapter 12.30 to include Chapter 12.29
and remove chapter duplications; and add provisions for private landowner encroachments into the public ROW;
easements; and street vacations. Thereafter, Chapter

12.29 would be rescinded in its entirety, and the
amended and revised Chapter 12.30 would be retitled
“Encroachments and Easements.”
RECOMMENDED ACTION: REINTRODUCE an Ordinance (first reading) amending RMC Chapter 12.30 (“Video Service Provider, Utility and Special District Encroachments”) by incorporating
Chapter 12.29 (“Street Opening and Pavement
Restoration Regulations”); adding provisions that address private landowner encroachments into the public Right-
of-Way (ROW); easements; and street vacations; retitling Chapter 12.30 “Encroachments and Easements,” and
rescinding Chapter 12.29 in its entirety - City Attorney’s Office/Public Works Department (Dave Aleshire 510-620-
6509/Joe Leach 510-620-3008). This item was
continued from the May 17, 2022, meeting.

DISCUSSION:

Presently, the Richmond Municipal Code (RMC) contains two chapters that address encroachments in the public Right-of-Way (“ROW”). Both chapters reside in Article XII (“Public Works”) – Chapter 12.29 (“Street Opening and Pavement Restoration Regulations”); and Chapter 12.30 (“Video Service Provider, Utility and Special District Encroachments”).

Broadly speaking, Chapter 12.29 governs trenching, pavement, etc. in the public ROW; whereas Chapter 12.30 provides for the utilization of public ROW by specific entities, under certain circumstances, and directs when an entity must acquire a permit.

Although separate Chapters, both 12.29 and 12.30 contain procedural redundancies, and neither chapter addresses private landowner encroachments into the unimproved

Page 756 of 1235 ends

01337.0027/789679.1 Page 3 of 4
June 7, 2022
public ROW. Further, neither existing Chapter addresses easements or street vacations.

The proposed amendments would revise Chapter 12.30 such that it includes Chapter

12.29 and removes duplications between existing chapters. The amendments also add provisions addressing private landowner encroachments into the unimproved public ROW; easements; and street vacations. Thereafter, Chapter 12.29 would be rescinded in its entirety, and the amended and revised Chapter 12.30 would be retitled “Encroachments and Easements.”

The newly proposed Chapter 12.30 (“Encroachments”) divides itself into six Parts – Part 1 (“General”), Sections 12.30.10 through 12.30.110; Part 2 (“Street and Paving”), Sections 12.30.120 through 12.30.160; Part 3 (“Private Landowner Encroachments into Unimproved Portions of the Public ROW”), Sections 12.30.170 through 12.30.200; Part 4 (“Easements”), Section 12.30.210; Part 5 (“Street Vacations”), Sections 12.30.220 through 12.30.240; and Part 6 (“Violations, Revocations, Other Penalties, and Appeals”), Sections 12.30.250 through 12.30.290. This newly proposed division allows for separate categories of encroachments where relevant requirements, technologies, regulations, et al. may be categorically curated. The revision also eliminates section or chapter duplication(s) by establishing separate portions for general terms and violations, et al. The overall effect both clarifies and streamlines the City’s encroachment provisions and permitting requirements and also allows a chapter whose structure will scale to include future categorial amendments, if needed.

Historically, the City entered into Encroachment Agreements with private landowners for ROW encroachments. These Encroachment Agreements were recorded on the property’s title and became binding on successors. However, even the informal practice has not been consistent, with some agreements approved by Council and others approved by the City Manager. The RMC has been silent on private landowner encroachments into the public ROW, so the City’s past practice of Encroachment Agreements with private landowners has not been documented previously within the Code. Thus, as it relates to the newly proposed Part 3 (“Private Landowner Encroachments into Unimproved Portions of the Public ROW”), the RMC now outlines a process for Application and attendant requirements, Notice, Appeal, et al. for private landowner Encroachment Agreements.

The Mayor suggested changes on first reading with the added language requiring a minimum, unobstructed passageway of at least nine (9) feet for one lane or eighteen (18) feet for two lanes with a four (4)-foot sidewalk. Subsequently, after checking field conditions, there are two (2) areas proposed for Encroachment(s) of which City staff is aware – one at 8 Western Drive and one at 130 Scenic Drive – where meeting the newly proposed condition may be challenging, but we cannot tell without plans.

Moreover, an unknown number of other Encroachment conditions exist in this area, and in other parts of the City, where the newly proposed condition may not be met.

Staff believes these projects should be considered at a public hearing under the new ordinance and suggests further language to complement the Mayor’s suggestion. That would be to add a finding that the special conditions, including the minimum street width, can be modified by the Council. It would be in Section 12.30.190(a)(1)(G), and states:
“The Encroachment conflicts with a specific condition below, but the Encroachment is warranted due to special circumstances specifically identified and addressed in the Encroachment Agreement.”

At its April 19th meeting, City Council received a joint presentation from the Public Works Department and the City Attorney’s Office. The City Council then took public comment and subsequently directed City staff to continue its research into the points above. We believe the above language gives the Council flexibility and recommend that you proceed.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

This Ordinance is not a project under the requirement(s) of the California Environmental Quality Act and its related State CEQA Guidelines (collectively, “CEQA”) because it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility of a significant effect on the environment and thus meets the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential to cause significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In this circumstance, the amendments to the Ordinance would have no, or only a de minimis, impact on the environment because changing the provisions within existing Municipal Code chapters to clarify the permitting process, et al. does not have direct or indirect physical environmental impact(s). The foregoing determination is made by the City Council in its independent judgment.
