The Art Task Force has functioned as a working group for the Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission, holding regularly scheduled and publicly noticed meetings.

At the October 25, 2022, City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to develop an ordinance to create an Arts Commission and to lead the efforts of retiring the existing Arts Task Force.

At this time both ordinances, included as Attachments 1 and 2, are presented to the City Council for a second reading and adoption.

Side Letter Agreement with Rocklin Firefighter’s Union

Department:

Administrative Services - Human Resources
Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin to Adopt a Side Letter of Agreement to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Rocklin and the Rocklin Firefighter’s Union to Modify Article 33 Subsection III Extension of Probationary Periods.

Background:

In January 2023 Fire Department staff notified the City that Section V., Article 33 Subsection III of the MOU between the City of Rocklin and the Rocklin Firefighter’s Union (Union), approved by Resolution No. 2022-159, limits the City’s ability to extend the probationary period of an employee who is out due to a prolonged absence. The current wording only allows the City to extend the probationary period for up to six (6) months. If an employee is out due to a prolonged absence in excess of six (6) months, the City does not have the option to extend the probationary period commensurate with the absence.

Representatives of the City and the Union have met and conferred and mutually agree to the new provisions to Section V., Article 33 Subsection III as follows:

III. Extension of Probationary Period:

Any employee's probationary period may be extended by the Fire Chief for up to six (6) months in his/her sole discretion. An employee whose probationary period is extended shall have their salary anniversary date adjusted to the date following the end of the extension.

A probationary period may also be extended due to a prolonged absence of the employee. A prolonged absence shall be defined for this section as a minimum of 90 consecutive calendar days. The extension of the probationary period shall not exceed the length of the absence.

The Fire Chief or the Fire Chief’s designee shall meet with the union prior to extending any probationary period as a result of a prolonged absence of an employee.

The side letter is included as Attachment 2 (Resolution Exhibit A).

Item Number 2.C

Staff Report

Subject:

Updated Tier 2 Commitment Agreement Between the City of Rocklin, County of Placer, City of Roseville, and City of Lincoln Date:

February 14, 2023
Submitted By:

Justin Nartker, Director of Public Services
Department:

Public Services
Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution of City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving the Updated Tier 2 Commitment Agreement Between the City of Rocklin, County of Placer, City of Roseville, and City of Lincoln and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute it on Behalf of the City of Rocklin.

Background:

The South Placer Traffic Model, developed in the 1990’s and used by all jurisdictions in South Placer County, required the construction of a limited access expressway from State Route 65 in Placer County to Highway 99 in Sutter County to relieve the general plan buildout conditions of Lincoln, Rocklin, Roseville, and Placer County (County). On October 27, 2020, the Rocklin City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-207, approving the Placer Parkway Phase 1 Reimbursement Agreement, known as the Tier 2 Funding Commitment Agreement. This agreement allows Placer County to borrow funding for the first phase of the construction from Highway 65 to Foothills Boulevard and then be reimbursed by the South Placer Regional Transportation Authority (SPRTA) Tier 2 fee program. Copies of Resolution No. 2020-207 and the original Agreement are included as Attachment 3.

In addition, the agreement recognizes the funding and reimbursement agreement (FARA) between the County and United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC) for Phase 1, and commits Tier 2 fee revenue to reimburse the County for the Phase 1 project. Since 2020 the FARA has been fully executed; however, the funding amount has increased and on September 27, 2022, the agreement between the County and UAIC was updated to reflect the increase in the funding amounts.

As a result, the existing FARA with the County, Rocklin, Roseville, and Lincoln must also be updated to reflect the changes which are listed below:

• UAIC increases the amount to advance to the County to $27,745,250 (up from $15,000,000).
• The County estimates the cost of Phase 1 Project to be $81,900,000 (up from Item Number 2.D

23 $58,000,000).
• The County agrees to advance $36,745,250 on a reimbursable basis (up from $24,000,000 and includes $6,000,000 for design).
• Miscellaneous formatting and non-substantive changes.

The provision pertaining to the obligations of the City of Rocklin (Section 13 of the Tier 2 Funding Commitment Agreement) has not been changed from the prior version of the Agreement.

Staff has reviewed the proposed updates and recommends that the updated agreement be approved.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the staff recommendation. Rocklin does not currently collect or is expected in the future to collect the SPRTA Tier 2 Development Fee unless areas are annexed into the City’s jurisdiction after the effective date of the Agreement, and on any new development over and above the total densities or intensities approved in the Northwest Rocklin Annexation area General Development Plan after the effective date of the original 2020 agreement.

WHEREAS, on September 27, 2022, the FARA between Placer County and the UAIC was updated to reflect funding increases and, as a result, the existing Tier 2 Commitment Agreement, between the City of Rocklin, County of Placer, City of Roseville, and City of Lincoln needs to be updated accordingly; and WHEREAS, Rocklin does not currently collect, nor is expected in the future to collect the SPRTA Tier 2 Development Fee unless areas are annexed into the City’s jurisdiction after the effective date of the Agreement, and on any new development over and above the total densities or intensities approved in the Northwest Rocklin Annexation area General Development Plan after the effective date of the original 2020 agreement.

EXHIBIT A
Placer Parkway Phase 1 Improvement Project Description

The Placer Parkway Phase 1 Improvements Project (Phase 1 Project) is the initial necessary phase of the planned Placer Parkway corridor, which will ultimately be a 15‐ mile, high‐speed transportation facility that will connect State Route (SR) 65 in western Placer County to SR 70/99 in south Sutter County. The Placer Parkway is an opportunity to implement infrastructure improvements that will benefit a wide range of individuals, businesses and communities in rural and suburban western Placer County and eastern Sutter County. The Parkway will link rural areas and provide a connection to and from existing and planned development near some of the region's fastest growing communities and job centers. The Placer Parkway project was planned to respond to increased travel demand and congestion related to anticipated population and jobs growth as well as to improve goods movement. It was also planned to address the lack of alternative routes between SR 99/70 and SR 65, two busy regional highways. The Parkway provides additional east‐west access parallel facility to I‐80 that will reduce congestion, allowing for better movement of goods on the interstate freight corridor.

The Parkway will improve access from rural and suburban areas to the I‐80 and I‐5 corridors, high tech industry in the SR 65 corridor, job centers in downtown Sacramento, and airports in Lincoln and Sacramento. It will also provide access to the planned commercial, industrial, entertainment, education and residential development in the Sunset Area, which encompasses 8,497 acres located in unincorporated south Placer County.

Phase 1 of the Parkway is proposed to be built as a four‐lane roadway from SR 65 to Foothills Boulevard North. The Phase 1 Project begins at SR 65 in Placer County at the existing SR 65/Whitney Ranch Parkway between Sunset Boulevard and Twelve Bridges Drive and terminates 1.5 miles to the southwest at Foothills Boulevard North. Phase I establishes full freeway access at SR 65 with the completion of the interchange and construction of a new roadway connection west to Foothills Boulevard North. It will provide alternative connections to Foothills Boulevard North to relieve congestion along SR 65 at Sunset Boulevard and Twelve Bridges Drive and along Industrial Avenue and Sunset Boulevard.

Phase 1 also includes an overhead grade separation at the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks parallel to Industrial Avenue. This provides vehicles a safe crossing of the railroad tracks and will reduce the number of vehicles using the

existing UPRR at‐grade crossing at Athens Avenue and Industrial Avenue. This will also have benefits for UPRR operations.

Placer Parkway Phase 1 Improvement Project Description

The Placer Parkway Phase 1 Improvements Project (Phase 1 Project) is the initial necessary phase of the planned Placer Parkway corridor, which will ultimately be a 15‐ mile, high‐speed transportation facility that will connect State Route (SR) 65 in western Placer County to SR 70/99 in south Sutter County. The Placer Parkway is an opportunity to implement infrastructure improvements that will benefit a wide range of individuals, businesses and communities in rural and suburban western Placer County and eastern Sutter County. The Parkway will link rural areas and provide a connection to and from existing and planned development near some of the region's fastest growing communities and job centers. The Placer Parkway project was planned to respond to increased travel demand and congestion related to anticipated population and jobs growth as well as to improve goods movement. It was also planned to address the lack of alternative routes between SR 99/70 and SR 65, two busy regional highways. The Parkway provides additional east‐west access parallel facility to I‐80 that will reduce congestion, allowing for better movement of goods on the interstate freight corridor. The Parkway will improve access from rural and suburban areas to the I‐80 and I‐5 corridors, high tech industry in the SR 65 corridor, job centers in downtown Sacramento, and airports in Lincoln and Sacramento. It will also provide access to the planned commercial, industrial, entertainment, education and residential development in the Sunset Area, which encompasses 8,497 acres located in unincorporated south Placer County.

Phase 1 of the Parkway is proposed to be built as a four‐lane roadway from SR 65 to Foothills Boulevard North. The Phase 1 Project begins at SR 65 in Placer County at the existing SR 65/Whitney Ranch Parkway between Sunset Boulevard and Twelve Bridges Drive and terminates 1.5 miles to the southwest at Foothills Boulevard North. Phase I establishes full freeway access at SR 65 with the completion of the interchange and construction of a new roadway connection west to Foothills Boulevard North. It will provide alternative connections to Foothills Boulevard North to relieve congestion along SR 65 at Sunset Boulevard and Twelve Bridges Drive and along Industrial Avenue and Sunset Boulevard.

Phase 1 also includes an overhead grade separation at the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks parallel to Industrial Avenue. This provides vehicles a safe crossing of the railroad tracks and will reduce the number of vehicles using the

Page 13 of 40 ends

e
xisting UPRR at‐grade crossing at Athens Avenue and Industrial Avenue. This will also have benefits for UPRR operations.

Placer Parkway Phase 1 Improvement Project Description

The Placer Parkway Phase 1 Improvements Project (Phase 1 Project) is the initial necessary phase of the planned Placer Parkway corridor, which will ultimately be a 15‐ mile, high‐speed transportation facility that will connect State Route (SR) 65 in western Placer County to SR 70/99 in south Sutter County. The Placer Parkway is an opportunity to implement infrastructure improvements that will benefit a wide range of individuals, businesses and communities in rural and suburban western Placer County and eastern Sutter County. The Parkway will link rural areas and provide a connection to and from existing and planned development near some of the region's fastest growing communities and job centers. The Placer Parkway project was planned to respond to increased travel demand and congestion related to anticipated population and jobs growth as well as to improve goods movement. It was also planned to address the lack of alternative routes between SR 99/70 and SR 65, two busy regional highways. The Parkway provides additional east‐west access parallel facility to I‐80 that will reduce congestion, allowing for better movement of goods on the interstate freight corridor. The Parkway will improve access from rural and suburban areas to the I‐80 and I‐5 corridors, high tech industry in the SR 65 corridor, job centers in downtown Sacramento, and airports in Lincoln and Sacramento. It will also provide access to the planned commercial, industrial, entertainment, education and residential development in the Sunset Area, which encompasses 8,497 acres located in unincorporated south.

Phase 1 of the Parkway is proposed to be built as a four‐lane roadway from SR 65 to Foothills Boulevard North. The Phase 1 Project begins at SR 65 in Placer County at the existing SR 65/Whitney Ranch Parkway between Sunset Boulevard and Twelve Bridges Drive and terminates 1.5 miles to the southwest at Foothills Boulevard North. Phase I establishes full freeway access at SR 65 with the completion of the interchange and construction of a new roadway connection west to Foothills Boulevard North. It will provide alternative connections to Foothills Boulevard North to relieve congestion along SR 65 at Sunset Boulevard and Twelve Bridges Drive and along Industrial Avenue and Sunset Boulevard.

Phase 1 also includes an overhead grade separation at the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks parallel to Industrial Avenue. This provides vehicles a safe crossing of the railroad tracks and will reduce the number of vehicles using the

xisting UPRR at‐grade crossing at Athens Avenue and Industrial Avenue. This will also have benefits for UPRR operations.

xhibit BB - Grade Separation Project Description

Construction of a grade separation structure at the Athens Avenue railroad crossing that provides access to and from Athens Avenue and Industrial Boulevard. The Tribal Environmental Impact Report (TEIR) for the Thunder Valley Casino Expansion Project identified a cumulative impact associated with increased conflicts between automobiles and trains at the Athens Avenue grade crossing. The mitigation was to pay a fair share of a future grade separation project. Several alternatives were identified in the TEIR (Appendix G) with a raised intersection at Athens Avenue and Industrial Boulevard suggested as the recommended alternative. Subsequent study (Sunset/Industrial/Athens Operations Improvement Study, September 2010 by CH2MHill) identified a jug handle intersection at the intersection of Athens Avenue and Industrial Boulevard as a preferred alternative. Athens Avenue would be elevated over the existing railroad tracks and coming back down to grade east of Industrial Boulevard. A separate loop road would connect Athens Avenue and Industrial Boulevard. The existing signalized intersection would be removed and a new signalized intersection constructed at the loop road and Industrial Boulevard. Either alternative would totally separate automobile and train traffic and eliminate conflicts.

Submitted By:

Justin Nartker, Director of Public Services
Matt McClure, Public Services Manager
Department:

Public Services
Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Contract for Services with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1.

Background:

On June 22, 2021, the City Council approved and adopted the 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) along with the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/22 Operating Budget, which included the Rocklin Road and Interstate 80 Interchange Project, also known as the Rocklin Road/Sierra College Corridor Multimodal Enhancements. This is a multi-year project that has been included in the FY 2022/23 Operating Budget and the 2023-2027 CIP. This project consists of improving pedestrian and multimodal facilities within the Rocklin Road/I-80 corridor to promote connectivity between Sierra College and the surrounding communities, with the first step of the project issuing a Request for Proposal to complete the Project Approval and Environmental Document. The contract was awarded to Jacobs Engineering (Resolution No. 2021-127).

Staff and the contractor have worked closely with Caltrans and as the project progressed, Caltrans determined that a westbound auxiliary lane from Rocklin Road to State Route 65 was necessary and added it to the project scope. This change in scope requires additional preliminary engineering, public outreach, right-of-way support, and environmental clearance support for the auxiliary lane.

The cost for the additional work is $875,000, which will increase the existing contract with Jacobs Engineering from $1,800,000 to $2,675,000. This increase will be funded out of South Placer Regional Transportation Authority Funds (SPRTA) (Fund 240).

Item Number 2.F

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct impact to the General Fund from this request. As indicated above, the cost of the Project Approval and Environmental Document and will be funded out of SPRTA (240) funds.

Contractor shall make all disclosures required by the City’s conflict of interest code in accordance with the category designated by the City, unless the City Manager determines in writing that Contractor’s duties are more limited in scope than is warranted by the category designated by the City code and that a narrower disclosure category should apply.

Contractor also agrees to make disclosure in compliance with the City conflict of interest code if, at any time after the execution of this Contract, City determines and notifies Contractor in writing that Contractor’s duties under this Contract warrant greater disclosure by Contractor than was originally contemplated. Contractor shall make disclosures in the time, place and manner set forth in the conflict of interest code and as directed by the City.

15. MATERIALS CONFIDENTIAL

The provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination or suspension of this Contract.

18. CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE INSURANCE
Contractor agrees to have and maintain the policies set forth below, against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Contractor, its agents, representatives, or employees.

B. OTHER INSURANCE PROVISIONS

Complete Task Descriptions
Task 1. Background Review and Field Preparation
Prior to beginning monitoring surveys, we will review all prior year reports, and identify key methods to maintain for consistency as well as any data gaps to remedy. We will prepare key site and project information including field maps, GIS data layers (preserve boundaries, vegetation community types, known special-status species occurrences, vernal pool and other wetland locations, etc.), species information, relevant resource inventories, technical information, and any other information important for conducting biological monitoring. The team will meet to discuss the goals for the year, as well as discussing specific survey methods, to ensure consistency across surveyors. Project Manager Linnea Neuhaus will review and make any necessary changes to further develop data management and project communication plans prior to the start of field surveys. Specific field survey dates will be selected based on long-range weather forecasts and on-the-ground wetland and upland conditions, and schedules will be adjusted over the course of each monitoring year to adapt to changing conditions.

Task 2. Preserve Field Surveys
Subtask 2a. Wetland and Riparian General Conditions Surveys This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.2. Under this task, we will visit all wetland and riparian areas twice per year, during peak spring bloom (typically March-April) and during high summer (typically July). We will collect data on habitat conditions using sub-meter accurate GPS handhelds or tablet computers. We will note changes relative to the baseline condition (or other established Management Goal), including changes in vegetation species composition, changes in hydrology or topography, and changes in overall condition (including land practices on adjacent properties with the potential to affect the preserve function). We will include maintenance status of infrastructure, including fencing, allowable trails, roadways, etc., and any negative disturbance, including animal (e.g. boring insects, beaver damage, and feral animals) / human damage (e.g. vandalism or dumping). We will specifically identify and map problematic erosion, beaver dams, or other disturbance. We will track the success of enhancement and restoration efforts, and re-take reference photographs of the overall wetland / riparian setting.

Subtask 2b. Vernal Pool Grassland General Conditions Surveys This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.3. Under this task, we will monitor all vernal pool grasslands once per year, in late spring (typically late April). We will note general condition of the vernal pool grasslands, including changes in vegetation species composition, compared to the Baseline Condition for the preserve area. Disturbances, including animal and human, will be noted as well, including fencing repair needs or trash removal. We will re-take reference photographs.

Subtask 2c. Oak Woodland/Savannah General Conditions Surveys This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.4. Under this task, we will monitor all mapped oak woodland and oak savannah once per year, in high summer (typically July). The overall general condition of the oak woodland/savannah will be noted, including changes in vegetation species composition relative to the baseline condition. Animal and human-caused damage or disturbances will be noted as well, including fencing repair needs or trash removal (or any other infrastructure maintenance requirements). We will specifically note and map problematic stormwater run-off or beaver dams, and track the success of enhancement and restoration efforts.

Page 3 ends

to Contract Services Agreement
This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.2. Under this task, we will monitor invasive plants in wetland and riparian areas twice per year, concurrent with the Wetland and Riparian General Conditions Survey. We will monitor invasive plant species (listed by California Invasive Plant Council) in order to make recommendations for eradication. Monitoring surveys will include a qualitative assessment (e.g. visual estimate of cover) of potential or observed noxious weeds or other non-native species invasions, especially in or around any wetland features. Additional actions to control invasive species will be evaluated and prioritized. We will also note species listed by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) list of "noxious weeds" that are subject to regulation or quarantine by county agricultural departments, the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Integrated Pest Control Branch, and the University of California State Integrated Pest Management Program list of “Exotic and invasive pests and diseases that threaten California's agricultural, urban, or natural areas”.

Subtask 2e. Vernal Pool Grassland Invasive Plant Monitoring This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.3. Under this task, we will monitor invasive plants in vernal pool grasslands once per year, during high summer (typically July). The methods will be the same as for Wetland and Riparian Invasive Plant Monitoring. The survey will take place concurrently with the high summer Wetland and Riparian Invasive Plant Monitoring.

Subtask 2f. Oak Woodland/Savannah Invasive Plant Monitoring This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.4. Under this task, we will monitor invasive plants in oak woodlands and oak savannahs once per year, during high summer (typically July). The methods will be the same as for Wetland and Riparian Invasive Plant Monitoring. The survey will take place concurrently with the high summer Wetland and Riparian Invasive Plant Monitoring.

Subtask 2g. Vernal Pool Hydrologic Monitoring
This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.3. Under this task, we will monitor hydrology in a selected subset of created and natural vernal pools three times per year, in winter (typically January), early spring (typically early March) and high summer (typically July). Surveys will include observations of potential water depth, maximum current water depth, and percent inundation for each monitored vernal pool. The winter and early spring surveys will be conducted concurrent with the Vernal Pool Invertebrate Monitoring, and the high summer survey will be conducted concurrent with the Vernal Pool Grassland Invasive Plant Monitoring.

Subtask 2h. Vernal Pool Floristic Monitoring
This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.3. Under this task, we will monitor vernal pool vegetation in the same subset of vernal pools as is monitored for hydrology. Monitoring will be conducted once per year, during peak spring bloom in the pools. The timing of this may vary based on the different pools’ phenology, but will typically occur from March through May. As with wet season vernal pool surveys, the timing of floristic surveys will be determined by tracking local pools and conducting surveys at the peak of the vernal pool blooming season.

Vernal pool general characteristics will be noted including if the vernal pool is created/restored or naturally occurring. Plant species having 25% or higher relative vegetation will be considered dominant and will be recorded. If none of the plant species in the vernal pool have 25% or higher relative cover, then the plant species with 10% relative cover or greater will be considered dominant. A comprehensive list of all plant species observed will be created to track species composition relative to the Baseline Condition (on an on-going basis). All VNLC biologists are trained and experienced in visually estimating percent vegetation cover accurately, and will use 170

Page 4 ends

to Contract Services Agreement
standardized calibration methods to maintain consistency across surveyors and across survey years.

As in Subtask 2a, surveyors will each use a Trimble GeoXT for navigation and to map special- status species and notable features or site conditions. Survey data will be recorded digitally or on paper datasheets provided in the Plan. All data will be converted and stored electronically within a Microsoft Access database. Representative photographs will be taken, to be included in reports.

Any necessary tasks will be identified for recommendation to the City.

Subtask 2i. Vernal Pool Invertebrate Monitoring
This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.3. Under this task, we will monitor vernal pool invertebrate species twice per year. We will survey the same subset of vernal pools as is monitored for hydrology. Surveys will be timed to best detect target species (typically January and February or early March). Many vernal pool invertebrates, including the vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi ), are relatively short-lived and the timing of best detection varies from year to year. We will track the ponding status and the hatching and development of target species in the project vicinity and/or within the project site and will time our survey accordingly.

Each survey round will be conducted within a ten calendar-day period to minimize variation in survey results caused by differences in survey timing.

Surveys will be conducted by VNLC biologists permitted by the USFWS to conduct listed large branchiopod surveys, and will follow the methods outlined in Interim Survey Guidelines to Permittees for Recovery Permits under Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act for Listed Vernal Pool Branchiopods (ignoring the bi-weekly sampling frequency requirement).

Surveyors will work alone to limit the cost to the City. Each surveying biologist will carry a sub- meter accurate GPS handheld or tablet computer. Biologists will use the GPS to navigate to target pools and to map all special-status species and notable features or site conditions. Data will be recorded digitally within a standardized and survey-specific data dictionary loaded onto the GPS units. Representative photographs will be taken, to be included in reports.

Subtask 2j. Vernal Pool Grassland Vegetation Monitoring This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.3. Under this task, we will monitor the health of the upland grassland community around the vernal pools once per year in late spring (typically late April). A minimum of 20 randomly selected upland grassland plots will be selected for monitoring. An additional 10 plots will be selected which can represent those grasslands dominated by native grassland populations, invasive weed populations, and other target communities. The selected plots will measure three by three meters square and the location will be recorded using a sub-meter accurate GPS unit. Observations collected will include a species list, the total cover of vegetation, the absolute cover of each species, and trends within the plot. A list of plant species observed will be created to track species composition relative to the Baseline Condition (on an on-going basis).

Subtask 2k. Oak Woodland/Savannah Understory Vegetation Monitoring This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.4. The methods for this task will follow the methods for the Vernal Pool Grassland Vegetation Monitoring (Subtask 2j), and will be conducted concurrently with it. Under this task, we will monitor the vegetation composition of an additional 20 randomly-selected three-meter by three-meter plots in oak woodland and oak savannah.

Subtask 2l. Vernal Pool Grassland Thatch Monitoring
171

Page 5 ends

to Contract Services Agreement
This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.3. Under this task, we will monitor thatch levels in upland grassland community around the vernal pools once per year in fall, after grazing is complete but before the onset of winter rains (typically September to October). At each of the Vernal Pool Grassland Vegetation Monitoring plots, we will estimate RDM using standardized visual estimation guides, take standardized robel pole photographs, and collect one RDM clip plot (circular 0.1 m 2 hoops). Clipped material will be brought to the office and further air dried and weighed to estimate moisture content. Biologists will navigate to RDM plots and collect data electronically with Trimble GPS units. Plot locations may be adjusted to avoid non-range vegetation, wetlands, boundaries and disturbance by at least 2 meters. If thatch presents a fire hazard, or is in excess of 1,200 lbs./ac., we will make a recommendation of a removal practice.

Subtask 2m. Oak Woodland/Savannah Understory Thatch Monitoring This task is based on GOSMP Section 6.4. The methods for this task will follow the methods for the Vernal Pool Grassland Thatch Monitoring (Subtask 2l), and will be conducted concurrently with it. Under this task, we will monitor the vegetation composition of the additional 20 plots in oak woodland and oak savannah.

Subtask 2n. Known Occurrences of Special-Status Plant Surveys This task is based on GOSMP Action 6-9-1. The objective of monitoring will be to identify presence and size of special-status plant populations. Under this task, we will visit all documented extant populations of special-status plants, as shown in the CNDDB, and in baseline reports and prior monitoring reports. Populations will be mapped using a sub-meter accurate GPS handheld. Abundance will be assessed semi-quantitatively using broad abundance categories, i.e., 0, 1 - 100, 101 - 500, 501 - 1,000, and >1,000 plants. Changes to occupied habitat, such as changed hydrology or vegetation composition, will be observed and recorded. At present, only a single special-status plant population is documented, Hispid salty bird's-beak in Stanford Ranch.

This task will be conducted concurrent with Vernal Pool Floristic Monitoring (Subtask 2h.) Subtask 2o. General Bird Surveys
This task is based on Action 6-6-1 of the GOSMP. (The goal does not appear elsewhere in the GOSMP, and little detail is provided in the GOSMP on the requirements of this task.) For this task, we propose to conduct two rounds of surveys, one at the beginning of the breeding season (typically March), and one at the end of the breeding season (typically September). During each survey round, we will perform a single point count of birds at each of the preserve areas. The point counts will consist of 10-minute surveys conducted from fixed locations to accurately depict the baseline avian abundance, community structure, and activity patterns present. The surveys will be conducted on foot and birds will be observed through high-powered binoculars and by ear. At each point count location, we will record: the bird species present; the number of individuals present/species; the general behavior and habitat use of each bird/flock of birds; and other pertinent information. The surveys will be conducted concurrent with other surveys including the General Conditions Surveys and Thatch Monitoring.

Subtask 2p. Oak Tree Census and Health Monitoring (Periodic Task) This task is based on Action 6-10-4 of the GOSMP. Under this task, we will census all oak trees over three feet in height. For each oak, we will record species type, diameter at breast height (DBH), and dripline radius (DLR). All untagged trees greater than six inches DBH will be tagged with aluminum tree tags. All trees measuring less than six inches in DBH, but three feet or greater in height will be mapped with a sub-meter accurate GPS handheld, mapping the extent of DLR for each tree or group of trees. These polygons will be classified based on the dominant oak 172

Page 6 ends

to Contract Services Agreement
species. The health and structural condition of each tree will be classified. This is a periodic survey which will be required for the Garnet Creek, Parklands North, and Placer Creek Corporate Center preserves in 2024 and the Claremont, Orchard Creek, Stanford Ranch, and Sunset West preserves in 2025. These surveys will be conducted concurrently with the Oak Woodland/Savannah General Conditions Surveys in those preserves.

Subtask 2q. VELB Surveys (Periodic Task)
This task is based on GOSMP Action 6-4-4. Under this task, we will conduct a single survey of suitable VELB habitat. Suitable habitat for VELB will be identified based on the results of Wetland and Riparian General Conditions Surveys and other surveys, as well as by reviewing CNDDB data and prior reports. We will conduct exit hole surveys in all suitable habitat (i.e. clusters of elderberry shrubs with stems >1” diameter). The approximate number of exit holes in each habitat cluster will be recorded in a sub-meter accurate GPS handheld or tablet computer.

This is a periodic survey which will be required for the Claremont, Orchard Creek, Stanford Ranch, Sunset West, and Whitney Ranch preserves in 2025. It will be conducted concurrent with the general conditions surveys.

Subtask 2r. Swainson’s Hawk Surveys (Periodic Task)
This task is based on Action 6-4-2 of the GOSMP. Under this task, we will conduct two rounds of surveys in suitable habitat. Suitable habitat for Swainson’s Hawk will be identified based on the results of Wetland and Riparian General Conditions Surveys, the General Bird Surveys, and other surveys, as well as by reviewing CNDDB data and prior reports. Two surveys will be conducted, at the beginning of the breeding season (Around April) and near the end of the breeding season (around September). The surveys will be conducted in the evening hours, and the VNLC biologist will arrive at the Study Area within the recommended start time of each respective survey window and survey for nesting Swainson’s Hawk until sunset. Potential Swainson’s Hawk nests will be surveyed with both binoculars and a high-powered spotting scope. The surveys will be conducted either via a car or on foot depending on the nature of the Study Area. If a Swainson’s Hawk nest is confirmed in the vicinity of the Study Area, the biologist will record the location of the nest with a sub-meter accurate GPS. Any other nesting raptors observed incidentally during the nesting Swainson’s Hawk survey will be recoded via GPS as well. This is a periodic survey which will be required for the Garnet Creek and Placer Creek Corporate Center preserves in 2024 and the Claremont, Orchard Creek, Stanford Ranch, Sunset West, and Whitney Ranch preserves in 2025.

Subtask 2s. Burrowing Owl Surveys (Periodic Task)
This task is based on Action 6-4-3 in Goal 6-4 in Table 6-1 of the GOSMP. Under this task, we will conduct a single survey if the five-year survey interval falls within the contract period.

Suitable habitat for Burrowing Owl will be identified based on the results of Wetland and Riparian General Conditions Surveys, the General Bird Surveys, and other surveys, as well as by reviewing CNDDB data and prior reports. Surveys will be conducted by walking meandering transects through suitable habitat, searching for Burrowing Owls and their sign around burrows.

All Burrowing Owls and their burrows will be mapped with a sub-meter accurate GPS handheld.

This is a periodic survey which will be required for the Garnet Creek and Placer Creek Corporate Center preserves in 2024 and the Claremont, Orchard Creek, Stanford Ranch, Sunset West, and Whitney Ranch preserves in 2025. The surveys will be conducted concurrent with the general conditions surveys.

Subtask 2t. Amphibian and Reptile Surveys (Periodic Task) 173

Page 7 ends

to Contract Services Agreement
This task is based on Action 6-6-2 of the GOSMP. Surveys will be focused on rare species with the potential to occur in the preserves (e.g. northwestern pond turtle and western spadefoot), but will also note common species observed. Potential habitat for rare species will be identified based on the General Conditions Surveys, and on prior reports. All suitable habitat for each species will be surveyed during the appropriate identification window. Populations of rare reptiles and amphibians will be mapped using a sub-meter accurate GPS handheld. Survey methods will vary based on target species, but will generally be non-invasive where practicable.

Where possible, such as with northwestern pond turtle, foothill yellow-legged frog, and giant gartersnake, we will use visual encounter surveys by qualified biologists using binoculars.

Surveys for western spadefoot and other hard-to-see species may be conducted as dipnet or seine surveys by appropriately-permitted biologists. All new populations of rare species will be mapped with sub-meter accurate GPS handhelds and reported to the CNDDB. This is a periodic survey which will be required for all nine preserves in 2025.

Subtask 2u. Wetland Delineation Review (Periodic Task)
This task is based on GOSMP Action 6-1-3. Under this task, we will load existing wetland delineation maps onto a sub-meter accurate GPS handheld. We will field-verify all delineated features, and search for instances in which changing conditions have caused changes in the extent of potentially jurisdictional wetlands and Waters of the U.S. and of the State of California.

In instances where feature boundaries have changed significantly, or areas have been converted from wetland to upland or vice versa, we will collect wetland delineation data points and map the new boundaries. This is a periodic survey which will be required for the Claremont, Orchard Creek, Stanford Ranch, Sunset West, and Whitney Ranch preserves in 2025.

Subtask 2v. Unknown Occurrences of Special-Status Plant Surveys (Periodic Task, Not Required)
This is an intermittent task which will not be required for any of the preserves during the period from 2023-2025. A description of the task is included here for completeness.

This task is based on Action 6-9-3 in Goal 6-9 in Table 6-1 of the GOSMP. Under this task, we will conduct rare plant surveys if the five-year survey interval falls within the contract period.

Rare plants with the potential to occur in the preserves will be identified based on the Baseline report, CNDDB, and other sources. Potential habitat for these species will be identified based on the General Conditions Surveys, the Baseline report, and other sources. All suitable habitat for each species will be surveyed during the appropriate identification window. Populations of rare plants will be mapped using a sub-meter accurate GPS handheld. Abundance will be assessed semi-quantitatively using broad abundance categories, i.e., 0, 1 - 100, 101 - 500, 501 - 1,000, and >1,000 plants. All new populations will be submitted to the CNDDB, and included in future Known Occurrences of Special-Status Plant Surveys. These surveys will be combined with other surveys as appropriate to the identification window of each plant (e.g. vernal pool plants such as legenere will be surveyed for concurrent with other vernal pool vegetation monitoring).

Task 3. Habitat Mapping
Subtask 3a. Special Status Species Map
This task is based on GOSMP Action 6-4-5, Action 6-8-3, and Action 6-9-4. Under this task, we will use data collected in the field surveys to update all maps of special-status wildlife and plant species. Maps will be included in the annual reports, and all occurrences will be submitted to CNDDB.
174

to Contract Services Agreement
Subtask 3b. Habitat Conditions Map
This task is based on GOSMP Action 6-3-1 and Action 6-7-2. Under this task, we will update all site maps based on the results of general conditions surveys. Maps will reflect the latest information on general site conditions, invasive weed populations, beaver dams, problematic erosion, human disturbance, and other issues of note.

Subtask 3c. Wetland Delineation Re-Map (Periodic Task)
This task is based on GOSMP Action 6-1-3. Under this task, we will use data gathered during the Wetland Delineation Review to revise the mapping of all delineated wetlands and Waters. We will produce new wetland delineation maps reflecting current conditions in the preserves. The new maps will meet all Sacramento District Army Corps of Engineers mapping and data standards. This is a periodic task which will be required for the Claremont, Orchard Creek, Stanford Ranch, Sunset West, and Whitney Ranch preserves in 2025.

Subtask 3d. Creek Conditions Mapping (Periodic Task)
This task is based on GOSMP Action 6-2-3. Under this task, we will use data gathered during the general conditions surveys to update all creek conditions maps. The revised maps will display creeks broken into reaches, with each reach rated by condition, and appropriateness for restoration or enhancement efforts. Significant issues such as degradation or aggradation, riparian vegetation loss, and human disturbance will be identified. This is a periodic task which will be required for the Claremont, Orchard Creek, Stanford Ranch, Sunset West, and Whitney Ranch preserves in 2025.

Subtask 3e. Vegetation Community Map Revisions (Periodic Task) This task is based on GOSMP Action 6-8-2. Under this task, we will use data gathered during the General Conditions Surveys, as well as the latest available aerial photos, to update all vegetation community maps. Any areas of habitat type conversion will be identified. The acreage and type of converted areas will be measured for inclusion in the reports. Reasons for habitat conversion will be discussed in the annual reports. This is a periodic task which will be required for the Claremont, Orchard Creek, Stanford Ranch, Sunset West, and Whitney Ranch preserves in 2025.

Subtask 3f. Oak Mapping (Periodic Task)
This task is based on GOSMP Action 6-10-5. Under this task, we will revise the oak habitat maps for each preserve, based on the data collected in the Oak Tree Census and Health Monitoring.

Revised maps will show updated acreage of oak canopy in each preserve, along with updated species counts and health metrics. Changes in oak tree communities will be discussed in the annual monitoring reports. This is a periodic survey which will be required for the Garnet Creek and Parklands North preserves in 2024 and the Claremont, Orchard Creek, Stanford Ranch, and Sunset West preserves in 2025.

Task 4. Management And Restoration Recommendations
During each inspection, biologists will note issues which may require management, as well as opportunities for habitat enhancement, as described above. Issues will be mapped for inclusion in the annual reports. All issues which may require urgent management action will be reported to the VNLC project manager. The VNLC project manager will contact the City point-of-contact to report urgent management needs. Non-urgent management needs and habitat enhancement recommendations will be described in the annual management report, along with priority ratings 175

Page 9 ends

to Contract Services Agreement
for each action. We will meet with City personnel to discuss maintenance issues or violations which must be reported to the regulatory agencies. During this meeting, we will discuss potential remedies for any such issues, and agree on the approach to each which will be included in the annual report.

Task 5. Data Analysis And Report Preparation
Subtask 5a. Data Analysis
We will create a custom relational database for the project in Microsoft Access, including tables for each data type and queries to produce each required analysis for the reports. We will enter data into the database as it is collected over the course of the year, allowing rapid identification of management issues and data gaps. Geographic data will be collected in ESRI ArcGIS formats for analysis and display in ArcMap software.

Subtask 5b. Draft and Final Monitoring Reports
A thorough yet concise annual draft monitoring report will be submitted to the City that details the methods and results of monitoring surveys, and discusses specific management recommendations. The report will cover overall site conditions by preserve, and will include (for each parcel) specific recommendations with regard to (1) any habitat enhancement measures deemed to be necessary to meet preserve goals, (2) any maintenance problems or violations, (3) a proposed resolution and timeline for any maintenance problems or violations, and (4) any changes in the monitoring or management program that appear to be warranted based on monitoring results to date, or recommendations for changes to monitoring or maintenance goals.

It will also include specific features mapped and documented during field surveys, as well as an analysis and summary of all monitoring parameters measured during field surveys (e.g. number and percent of pools meeting the vernal pool dominants threshold, and specific instances and analyses of pools not meeting the threshold). In addition, monitoring reports will include precipitation data to allow the Preserve Manager to evaluate the performance of the vernal pools relative to available water supply. Summary tables and figures will be included to clearly highlight important findings. The report will include representative photographs, a set of appropriately scaled color maps with all notable features shown, and electronic copies of field data sheets. After review by the City, we will incorporate the City’s changes into the final monitoring report. If requested, the City will have an additional opportunity to review an electronic copy of this final report before hard copies are printed and submitted.

Subtask 5c. Wetland Delineation Report (Periodic Task)
According to the GOSMP, a re-delineation of all wetlands is required once every 10 years. We will use the data produced in the Wetland Delineation Re-Map to produce a wetland delineation report for the Claremont, Orchard Creek, Stanford Ranch, Sunset West, and Whitney Ranch preserves in 2025. The report will meet all Sacramento Army Corps district standards for wetland delineations. We will submit this report for review to the City. After any necessary revisions, we will submit the report to the Corps for re-verification. 176

Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving the Final Map of Stanford Terrace 1 Lot Condominium Subdivision (SD-2013-05).

Background:

This project is generally located on Stanford Ranch Road and Sunset Boulevard at the southeast corner of the intersection of Stanford Ranch Road and Plaza Drive. APN 017-460- 003-000.

Owner/Applicant (Subdivider): STANFORD TERRACES II LLC, a California limited liability company.

The tentative subdivision map for the Stanford Terrace 1 Lot Condominium Subdivision was approved by the City Council on October 28, 2014 per Resolution No. 2014-236. The applicant recorded a final map for the first phase of the project, creating three commercial parcels and an approximately 7.2-acre parcel, on October 30, 2015 in Book DD of Maps, at

Page 41 ends

subsequently merged with the Umpqua Bank property through a Lot Line Adjustment. The tentative map was subsequently re-approved by the City Council on September 26, 2017 per Resolution No. 2017-217, as a modified Tentative Subdivision Map to allow the further subdivision of the 7.2-acre parcel into 119 residential condominium lots and three lettered common area lots consistent with the original City Council approval.

A two-year Time Extension of the tentative map was approved by the City Council on September 24, 2019 per Resolution No. 2019-218, extending the map to September 26, 2021.

Pursuant to AB 1561, the map was automatically extended eighteen months, to March 26, 2023.

Beginning in 2019, the developer submitted site improvement plans as well as applied for building permits. The first site work plans were approved in July of 2021, and the City Building Item Number 2.H

182
Division issued building permits beginning in July of 2022. The applicant is requesting the approval of a 1 lot final map for Condominium purposes.

Approvals of final maps are procedural in nature and per Section 66474.1. of the Subdivision Map Act, a legislative body shall not deny approval of a final map or parcel map if it has previously approved a tentative map for the proposed subdivision and if it finds that the final or parcel map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved tentative map.

The map is technically correct. All fees have been paid and conditions of approval have been met. The construction of the improvements associated with this map are complete. The map is ready for approval.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund. The only public dedication on this map is for public utility easements. There are no other dedications that would require City maintenance in the future.

Department:

Community Development
Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving the Notice of Completion for the Works Known as Nellia Court for Nellia (formerly Samoylovich) Estates (DL-2003-03), and Authorizing and Directing the Execution and Recordation of Said Notice on Behalf of the City (Multigroup, LLC, a California Limited Liability company).

Background:

This project is generally located south of Winding Lane, east of and with public street access to Lost Avenue. T
he project consists of four (4) lettered residential parcels, and one (1) lettered homeowners’ association (“HOA”) maintained common area private street (Area ‘K’).

The location map is included as Attachment 1.

The tentative subdivision map for Samoylovich (now Nellia) Estates (DL-2003-03) was approved by the Planning Commission on May 3, 2005 per Resolution No. PC-2005-57. The City Council approved and authorized the execution of a Subdivision Improvement Agreement on August 14, 2018 per Resolution No. 2018-213. The parcel map was recorded on March 16, 2020 in Book 36 of Parcel Maps, at Page 27 in the Office of the Recorder of Placer County.

Nellia Court was offered for dedication in fee to the HOA on the aforementioned parcel map and the Subdivision Improvement Agreement required the developer, Multigroup, LLC, to construct certain improvements, including the private street: Nellia Court, as shown as Area ‘K’ on Exhibit “1” of the Notice of Completion.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCKLIN APPROVING A FOUR-YEAR

TIME EXTENSION OF A TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP AND AN

OAK TREE PRESERVATION PLAN PERMIT
(Granite Lakes Estates Time Extension / SD-2000-02A & TRE-2000-33A) The City Council of the City of Rocklin does resolve as follows:

Section 1. The City Council of the City of Rocklin finds and determines that:

A. On May 28, 2002, the City Council of the City of Rocklin approved a Tentative Subdivision Map (SD-2000-02) and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE-2000-33) via City Council Resolution No. 2002-166 to allow for the development of 119 residential lots and several parcels for open space, and storm water detention. A substantial compliance modification of the project subsequently eliminated 3 lots reducing the total to 116. To date 48 lots have been developed and built out and 68 lots remain undeveloped.

B. On June 14, 2022 the City Council approved modifications to the conditions of approval applicable to the subdivision, via City Council Resolution No. 2022-127, to clean up obsolete conditions and language and add language to clarify that the Monument Springs bridge and roadway improvements must be completed and open to traffic prior to issuance of any additional building permits in the subdivision unless a “Subdivision Improvement Agreement” with a performance bond has been accepted by the City to ensure completion of the bridge and roadway improvements.

C. The Granite Lakes project included a Development Agreement (DA-2000- 01), effective July 11, 2002, approved via Ordinance 856. The initial term of the Development Agreement was 10-years. Through a modification in 2010 (Ordinance 959) and a second modification in 2020 (Ordinance 1129) the term of the Development Agreement was extended for an additional 9 years, a total of 19 years. The Development Agreement expired July 11, 2021.

D. In the absence of the Development Agreement, Assembly Bill 1561, signed into law on September 28, 2020, was determined to be applicable to the Granite Lake Estates tentative subdivision map and automatically extended the expiration of the Tentative Subdivision Map (SD-2000-02) and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE- 2000-33) for 18 months, through January 11, 2023.

E. Prior to expiration of the project the applicant filed an application to extend the term of Tentative Subdivision Map (SD-2000-02) and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE-2000-33) for an additional four years, through January 11, 2027 for a total term of 25 years since original approval of the project in 2002. 197

I. The site is physically suitable for the approved type and density of development.

J. The approved design of this project is compatible with surrounding development, natural features and constraints.

K. The height, bulk, area, color scheme and materials of the approved buildings and structures are compatible with surrounding development.

L. The design of the approved project and improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, nor will they substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

N. The design of the approved project and type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision.

O. The design of the approved project provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities.

Section 2. The request for an extension of time for the Granite Lakes Estates Tentative Subdivision Map (SD-2000-02) and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE- 2000-33), originally approved by City Council Resolution No. 2002-166, and later modified by City Council Resolution No. 2022-127, is hereby approved, subject to the terms and conditions of City Council Resolution No. 2022-127, any subsequent amendments thereto, and the conditions described below.

Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the following:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving a Four-Year Time Extension of a Tentative Subdivision Map and an Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (Granite Lakes Estates Time Extension / SD-2000-02A & TRE-2000-33A) Proposal/Application Request
This application is a request for approval of a four-year extension of time for a Tentative Subdivision Map (SD-2000-02A) and an associated Oak Tree Preservation Permit (TRE-2017-0003) to subdivide approximately 80 gross acres into 116 residential lots, and several parcels for open space, and storm water detention. To date, 48 lots have been developed and built out, and 68 lots remain undeveloped.

Location
The subject property is generally located in the southeast area of the City of Rocklin at the southerly termini of Greenbrae Road and Monument Springs Drive, bounded by Greenbrae Road to the north, the Quarry Ridge Subdivision to the east, the Rustic Hills and the undeveloped Highlands Parcel A subdivisions to the west, and the Highlands subdivision to the south.

Previous Approvals
The Granite Lake Estates subdivision, a 119 -lot single family residential development, was approved by the City Council on May 28, 2002 via Resolution No. 2002 -166. The total lot count was later reduced to 116 via a substantial compliance adjustment to the map configuration when a final map for the firs t phase of the development was recorded. The project entitlements included an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), General Development Plan, Tentative Subdivision Map, Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit, grading Design Guidelines, and a Development Agreement. Consistent with the requirements of the Southeast Rocklin Circulation 203

Element, adopted in 1993, primary access to the project site was to be via an extension of Monument Springs Road from its terminus on the north side of Secret Ravine to Greenbrae Road.

The extension included construction of a developer-funded bridge over the creek and a two-lane road to connect to Greenbrae Road. At the time the property for this off-site improvement was located in an area under the jurisdiction of Placer County. Known as the Greenbrae Area, this island of Placer County controlled land was annexed into the City of Rocklin in 2016. The project was allowed to construct up to a maximum of 40 homes in the first phase of development in order to partially offset the cost of off-site improvements. This limitation was not based upon any environmental transportation impact thresholds being exceeded if homes in excess of that number were built.

In 2010, the first phase of the Granite Lake Estates subdivision, consisting of 48 lots had been constructed and the first homes were being built. The extension of Monument Springs Drive had been delayed by a number of factors including changes to the proposed road alignment, difficulty acquiring the needed right-of-way, and the downturn in the economy now known as the “Great Recession”. As a result, the project developer at the time, S360 Granite Lakes LLC, applied to amend the project’s approvals to allow eight additional homes to be built prior to completion of the bridge and roadway extension, for a total of 48 homes. The City Council approved the modification on February 23, 2010.

Homes were completed on all 48 lots in the first phase of project development and construction of the bridge and roadway improvements was started. Work on the bridge and roadway improvements were later halted, and ultimately the undeveloped portions of the subdivision went into receivership and were lost. The property was later acquired by the current owners, Capitol Equity Management Group, Inc. Since that time the property owners have been working with the City and the owners of the similarly conditioned Vista Oaks and Highlands Parcel A projects to identify options to finance and build the Monument Springs bridge and roadway improvements and allow the projects to be completed.

The Development Agreement (DA) approved for the Granite Lakes Estates project in 2002 (Ordinance No. 856) allowed for the creation of up to 40 lots (approximately one-third of the project) to be constructed and occupied prior to construction of the Monument Springs Bridge and roadway improvements being completed. The Development Agreement was amended twice.

The first amendment, approved by the City Council in 2010 (Ordinance No. 959), increased the total number of homes that could be built in the Granite Lakes Estates subdivision, prior to completion of the bridge and roadway improvements, from 40 to 48, to match the number of lots developed with the first phase of the subdivision and extended the term of the DA to July 11, 2020. The City Council approved the Second Amendment to the Development Agreement, to extend the life of the Development Agreement through July 11, 2021 (Ordinance No. 1129) on July 14, 2020. The applicant was in negotiations with the City for a third amendment to modify 204
City Council Report

February 14, 2023

Page 6 ends

the terms of the agreement and extend its life; however, due in part to delays and disruptions associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, agreement was not reached and the DA expired on July 11, 2021. At that time, it was determined that AB 1561, a recently enacted time extension for tentative subdivision maps was applicable to the project, thereby extending the validity of the Granite Lake Estates tentative subdivision map by eighteen months to January 11, 2023.

On June 22, 2021 the City took a significant step in its commitment to help ensure the Monument Springs bridge is constructed by including $1.5 million in its 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Plan; these funds would be in addition to approximately $198,000 that has previously been collected by the City from Highlands Units 2 and 3 toward the construction of the bridge and roadway extension. Then on May 10, 2022, the City Council approved modifications to the General Development Plan for the Granite Lake Estates subdivision, and the tentative subdivision map conditions of approval for Vista Oaks Tentative Subdivision Map. The public hearing was continued to June 14, 2022, at which time the City Council approved modifications to the conditions of approval for the Granite Lake Estates Tentative Subdivision Map. The proposed modifications, allowing construction of additional homes in the Vista Oaks project area prior to completion of the bridge and roadway improvements, were intended to support of the creation of a Community Facilities Finance District and issuance of Bond Opportunities for Land Development (BOLD) bonds in order to fund the construction of the Monument Springs bridge and roadway. Due to community concerns about increased traffic on Aguilar Road, the City Council did not allow any additional homes to be built in the Granite Lake Estates project prior to completion of the bridge and roadway improvements.

Specifically, the modifications to the Granite Lake Estates project, City Council Resolution No. 2022-127 (Attachment B) consisted of the following:
• General Development Plan Amendment (PDG-2000-008B) to delete a provision in the document that restricted the number of homes that could be built in the Granite Lake Estates subdivision to a maximum of 48 units prior to completion of the Monument Springs bridge and roadway improvements; and
• Tentative Subdivision Map Modification (SD-2000-02A & TRE-2000-33A) to amend the conditions of approval for the Granite Lake Estates tentative subdivision to clean up obsolete conditions and language and add language to clarify that the Monument Springs bridge and roadway improvements must be completed and open to traffic prior to issuance of any additional building permits in the subdivision unless a “Subdivision Improvement Agreement” with a performance bond has been accepted by the City to ensure completion of the improvements.

Proposed Time Extension
In July 2022, the applicant submitted a request for a four-year extension of time for the Granite Lake Estates project ( Attachment A ) and provided the below timeline for completion of the project (Figure 4). It is staff’s understanding that the applicant and other involved parties have been working on the BOLD financing for the project but it is not yet in place.

completed
(Subject to City schedule)
Feb 2024 Final Map records (Subject to City approval)
Per Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC) Section 16.24.040 – “ The council may grant one or more extensions of time up to but not exceeding a total of an additional four years beyond the initial thirty-six months allowed for filing a final map. No single extension shall be granted for longer than a twenty-four month period. Applications for time extensions shall be made in writing to the planning department prior to the expiration of the tentative map. The application shall include a justification for approval of the extension, an explanation stating the reason the map was not finalized within the initial map life, and an anticipated project activity timeline. A representative for the project shall also be required to be present at any/all public hearings for the extension.

Upon submittal of a complete application to extend the map, the map shall be automatically extended for sixty days or until the application for the extension is approved, conditionally approved or denied, whichever occurs first.”
In the extension request, the applicant acknowledges that the RMC states that no single extension shall be granted for longer than a twenty-four-month period. However, the applicant feels that special circumstances warrant granting this project a four-year extension. The California Subdivision Map Act (Map Act) establishes that tentative subdivision maps may be valid 206
City Council Report
Granite Lake Estates – Time Extension
February 14, 2023

Page 8 ends

for a maximum of 10-years, including initial approval, and any extensions granted by the approving authority, but not including any automatic extensions that the State may grant. The Map Act further sets the maximum time extension that may be granted at any given time at six- years. As the Map Act is the establishing legislation upon which Title 16 – Subdivisions in the Rocklin Municipal Code is based the City Council may grant the applicant’s request for a four-year time extension.

This is the first extension requested for the Granite Lake Estates project. If approved, consistent with the applicant’s request, the Tentative Subdivision Map would be valid through January 11, 2027; 25 years since original approval in 2002.

Staff Findings
Staff finds this request to be consistent with the existing General Plan designation and zoning, and with the requirements of the Government Code; and further finds the proposed project to be compatible with existing and anticipated development of surrounding residentially designated properties.

Environmental
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for this project was certified via City Council Resolution No. 2002-165 on May 28th, 2002. An Addendum to the EIR addressing modifications to the project was certified via City Council Resolution No. 2022-98, on May 10, 2022. Because no changes are proposed as part of this request for extension to the previously approved project, pursuant to Section 15162 of California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), no additional environmental review is required.

Key Management Practices Update
Date:

February 14, 2023
Submitted By:

Daniel Choe, Deputy Director of Administrative Services Department:

Administrative Services - Finance
Recommendation:

Receive an Update on Proposed Changes to the City's Key Management Practices, and Provide Direction to Staff.

Background:

Reserves are an important tool for managing fiscal sustainability, enabling the City to avoid counterproductive tax increases or service cuts. Having set aside funds and policies provide protection from risk and help weather economic volatility and other emergencies.

Utilizing the Key Management Practices (KMPs), the City established certain reserve funds, and has been annually allocating resources through the City's budget process. Also, if and when general fund surplus materialized, those resources have been used to fund reserves at year-end. These practices have helped the City further reduce its liabilities and strengthened the organization's financial health.

The current KMPs enable a prudent practices of setting aside reserves; however, during a recent review, staff identified opportunities for the improvement of the City's current reserve policy and use of its surplus in an effort to ensure funds are systematically set aside, and are appropriate for the City of Rocklin.

Regarding reserve levels, the staff recommended changes, which are identified in the table on the next page, are consistent with the Government Finance Officers Association best practices to set a target level of reserves to better accomplish the purpose of reserve funds and limit contributions that are no longer required.

In addition to the reserve levels identified in the table above, recommended changes to KMPs language defining certain reserves are highlighted in the ensuing section. The changes are intended to set reserve target levels where appropriate and provide clarity in use of General Fund surplus.

General Fund Operating Reserve
The City will maintain an operating reserve
equal
in the General Fund equivalent to, at a
minimum, 25% of the planned budgeted operating expenditures in the General Fund (less any
capital equipment and/or project budget)
. These reserved dollars will be used to support
unforeseen emergencies, operating insufficiencies and short-term internal loans. Management will exercise every mechanism available (e.g., budget cuts, hiring freezes, etc.) to avoid use of the reserve. To the extend the reserve level falls below 25%, a plan will be developed and executed to replenish the reserve at the targeted funding level within three years.

Disaster Contingency Reserve
(no changes recommended)
The City will maintain an emergency reserve equal to $1 million as set by Resolution 2012- 136. These reserved dollars will be used in the event of a "declared emergency" providing financial support for recovery efforts as directed by the City Council.

Self-Insured Losses Reserve
(no changes recommended)
The City of Rocklin will maintain a self-insured losses reserve equal to $2 million. These reserved dollars will be used for losses not covered by under existing insurance programs.

Retiree's Health Fund
The City will maintain a Retiree's Health Fund, which will be used to fund the Retiree's Health Trust to offset retirees' health accrued liability.

Additionally, the Retirees' Health Fund will be
partially funded by annual transfers in of 5% of the General Fund's current fiscal year's fund balance unreserved surplus.

Fleet Capital Reserve
(no changes recommended)
The City will maintain Fleet Capital Reserve in the Fleet Fund for the purchase of new and replacement vehicles and other capital assets. Reserve amount will be expended to each Operating Fund Division based upon the vehicles assigned. These amounts will be calculated utilizing the annual asset depreciation expense and allocated through a modified Fleet Allocation process. In the case where funds reserved in the Fleet Fund for particular asset to be replaced, or an additional new asset to be purchased, are insufficient to cover the entire cost of the asset, additional amounts will be expensed to the appropriate Operating Division in 254
that year.

Building Reserve
The City will maintain Building Reserve to fund capital maintenance projects to sustain existing City facilities or to support the expansion of existing city facilities to address the workforce needs of city services.

In the event the General Fund realizes surplus,
after calculating the

Operating Reserve target,
75%
remaining General Fund surplus (net amount by which
the
unreserved
unassigned fund balance is increased in that fiscal year) , in the amount
not to exceed 5% of the current fiscal year's revenue budget, will be split between
assigned as outlined below. Priority will be given to those items that relieve budget or financial operating pressure in future periods.

GF-Economic Reserve Fund (10%), GF
Building Reserve (20%), Retiree's Health Fund (5%), Fleet Reserve Fund (20%), City Council Community Fund (10%), and a payment towards the City's unfunded pension liability (35%).
1 .

Fund long-term accrued liabilities, including but not limited to debt service, pension liability, and retiree's health benefits (e.g. Other Post Employment Benefits liability, Section 115 Trust);
2 .

Provide funding for the Economic Reserve Fund;
3 .

Increase the contributions needed to fund the Fleet Capital Reserve 4 .

Provide funding for the Building Reserve; and
5 .

Surplus funds in excess of the minimum reserve targets and requirements in this section can be used for other specific purposes consistent with the General Fund - Use of Surplus.
ii
.

After calculating (i), any remaining General Fund surplus may be used in the following ways provided that such action is approved by the City Council:
1 .

Increase the contributions needed to fund one-time expenditures. 2 .

Start-up expenditures for new programs or construction and is considered in the context of multi-year projections of revenue and expenditures. iii
.

Any remaining General Fund surplus shall be added to its unassigned fund balance.

Unfunded Pension Liability Reduction
An additional 1% will be added to the employer rate of unfunded pension liability which will be used to pay down the City's unfunded pension liability. In additional, after all General Fund Special Reserve Fund transfers, if it is determined that the projected (current) fiscal year will have an increase in the General Fund unassigned (unreserved) Fund Balance, 50% of this increase will be used to pay down the City's unfunded pension liability. This transfer of funds will occur during the budget process following each year in which an increase occurs.

Monitoring Performance
(new section recommended to be added)
The City will review the current and five-year projected reserve to ensure that they are appropriate given the economic and financial risk factors the City is subject to on an annual basis during the City's budget process.

Staff recommends the City Council provide direction on the recommended changes to the KMPs. Direction provided on the recommended changes, including any other City Council directed changes, will be reflected in the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Operating Budget document. 255

In 2018, the City of Rocklin completed the purchase of approximately 184 acres of unused land, formerly the Rocklin Golf Club, located at 4201 Midas Avenue, Rocklin, CA 95677. The area, now known as Sunset Whitney Recreation Area (SWRA), is envisioned as active and passive parkland. After feedback from public forums and the Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission, along with direction from the City Council, it was determined that a master plan for SWRA was the next appropriate step to ensure the area is developed appropriately.

On April 26, 2022, City Council approved the master plan contract with Melton Design Group (MDG). (Resolution No. 2022-84) Over the last ten months, City Staff, Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission, and City Council have worked with MDG to complete the proposed master plan design. The process included the following steps:

Project Coordination
Site Analysis and Utility Study
Needs Assessment, Stakeholder Outreach and Program Development SWRA Visioning and Master Plan Inspiration
Development, Operations and Maintenance Costs
Final Phased Implementation Plan

On September 12, 2022, a community meeting was held at the Rocklin Event Center to present initial master plan concepts. A survey was also made available online for comments.

On November 9 2022, MDG presented the conceptual SWRA master plan to the Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission. The staff report from that meeting is included as Attachment

1. No action was taken by the Commission; however they provided general support for the proposed master plan, with the the following comments:

Item Number 5.B

257

Play structures should include all inclusive amenities; Additional bike rack locations should be identified other than only near the flow track; Shade structure and lighting should be included with the pickleball court design; Request the inclusion of art in the master plan;
Positive feedback for additional pedestrian entrances to the park off of Midas Avenue.

Based on all feedback received, MDG will present the proposed SWRA Master Plan at the February 14, 2023, City Council meeting. Following the presentation, staff is requesting City Council provide direction based on MDG's findings and recommendations.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the staff recommendation. Any direction received by the City Council that may include additional costs will be brought back to the City Council at future meetings for formal approval.

Subject:

Tanus Circle Emergency Repairs
Date:

February 14, 2023
Submitted By:

Justin Nartker, Director of Public Services
Rick Lawrence, Public Services Manager
Department:

Public Services
Recommendation:

Receive a Report Regarding Emergency Repairs at Tanus Circle in Accordance with Section 22050 of the California Public Contract Code.

Background:

During the recent storm event, an 8 inch perforated plastic storm drainpipe located on Tanus Circle, near Southside Ranch Road, was inundated with a large amount of water. A location map is included as Attachment 1.

The water saturated the surrounding soils causing road erosion/settling and created a void underneath the pavement that was approximately 4 foot by 5 foot in size. The void created an unsafe situation that required an emergency repair to prevent further damage to the city infrastructure and local utilities. This emergency situation would not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation for bids, and immediate action was necessary to respond to the emergency.

The roadway failure constitutes an emergency within the meaning of California Public Contract Code section 1102, because it was a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of property or essential public services. Under such circumstances, the City Manager, using her authority under Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC) section 3.04.90, determined pursuant to California Public Contract Code section 22050, that an emergency existed requiring the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, property, or essential public services, and authorized the repairs to be made on an emergency basis, without competitive bidding.

The cost of the repair is estimated to be approximately $45,000-$50,000, which is within the City Manager’s signing authority. In compliance with state law and the RMC, subsequent reports of the emergency repairs will be provided to the City Council. For expenditures over $50,000, the City Council will be requested to ratify the contract(s). (RMC 3.04.090(A)).

Item Number 5.C

299
Fiscal Impact:

The cost of the repair is estimated to be between $45,000 and $50,000.
