CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: APRIL 23, 2024
DEPARTMENT: FINANCE
FROM: ABE PEDROZA, SENIOR FINANCE MANAGEMENT ANALYST

SELINA ANDREWS, ASSISTANT FINANCE DIRECTOR

TITLE: FISCAL YEAR 24-25 CITY-WIDE SCHEDULE OF FEES AND

SERVICE CHARGES ANNUAL UPDATE

RECOMMENDATION:

A motion to a pprove a Resolution authorizing adjustments and additions to the City -Wide Schedule of Fees and Service Charges effective July 1, 2024.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Each year, the City’s fee schedule is reviewed and adjusted by each department, as applicable, to ensure fees and charges keep pace with inflation, providing full recovery of City service costs .

The updated Schedule of Fees and Charges will be effective 60 days after City Council adoption and will begin July 1, 2024.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to Article XIII B of the California Constitution and Chapter 11B of the Salinas Municipal Code, fees for governmental services may be charged to recover all costs reasonably borne in providing all regulation, products, or services. Cost s reasonably borne are defined in City Code Section 11B-3 as a) all applicable direct costs; b) all applicable indirect costs; c) fixed assets recovery expenses (depreciation); d) general overhead; e) departmental overhead; f) debt service costs; and g) costs for necessary public services.

City Code Section 11B - Fee and Service Charge Revenue

Chapter 11B of the Salinas Municipal Code provides for adjustments to existing City fee/service charge revenue based upon increases provided in the Consumers Price Index (CPI) – All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose areas. Such adjustments are presented to City Council for adoption by resolution.

Study by Willdan Financial Services

In October 2015, City Council adopted an updated Fee Schedule based on a Comprehensive Fee Study prepared by Willdan Financial Services. Willdan analyzed a variety of factors, ultimately quantifying the full cost incurred by the City in providing the respective services. The recommended fee amount was then established to achieve as close to full cost recovery as possible. A number of factors prevented full cost recovery from being attained for certain fees, including mandated fee amounts, industry averages, and full cost recovery amounts that were either exceedingly high and/or varied greatly from the prior established fee. The resulting adopted fee schedule, effective January 1, 2016, is the basis for which the current CPI increase was calculated.

DISCUSSION:

Consumer Price Index
The Consumers Price Index (CPI)¹ – All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco – Oakland – Oakland, CA areas increased 3.7% in calendar year 2023. Staff, therefore, recommends City fees and service charges be increased 3.7% effective July 1, 2024.

While staff recommends most City fees be increased by 3.7%, some exceptions exist.

Specifically, fifty -one fees are mandated by various regulations, ca nnot increase, and are identified in the “Notes” column of the attachment. As a result of a joint operations agreement, sixty-eight Animal Shelter fees were not increased to align with Monterey County. Department discretion was considered on a case -by-case basis, resulting in fourteen fees either remaining unchanged or decreasing and are identified in the “Notes” and “Recommended” columns of the attachment. Further, departments recommended six fees be increased at an amount other than the CPI and are identified accordingly. Lastly, seven new fees are being proposed and are identified in the narrative below and on the attachment.

Finance Committee Recommendations & Outreach
At the April 9 , 2024, Finance Committee meeting, committee members supported staff’s recommended 3.7% increase per the CPI. Staff will ultimately adjust the fee schedule at the rate determined by City Council, but cannot exceed the established index factor, which in this case, is the CPI.

Consistent with previous years, o utreach was conducted with the Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce, SUBA, and the Non-Profit Alliance of Monterey County. The City confirmed receipt of communication and did not receive any notice of objections or issue regarding the proposed fee schedule for next year.

Recommendation includes a 2.6% Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index increase as stipulated in the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. One fee was not increased at this time.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

The City of Salinas has determined the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Updating the City -wide Schedule of Fees and Service Charges supports the City of Salinas Strategic Plan 2023-2025 goals of Effective Government.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Preparation of the City-Wide Schedule of Fees and Service Charges required communication with all departments.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

New and increased fees and service charges are an integral part of the City Council’s budget- balancing solutions, as these revenues recover the cost of the services being provided. Increased annual revenue associated with the recommended fees and service charge adjustments based on the CPI (3.7%) is estimated to be approximately $125,000. These fee increases will be included in Fiscal Year 24-25 estimated revenue projections.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: APRIL 23, 2024
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: ADRIANA ROBLES, CITY ENGINEER

LYNN MAU, PUBLIC WORKS ASSISTANT
TITLE: CITY DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a Resolution in creasing City Development Impact Fees by 2.6% effective July 1, 2024.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff is recommending that City Council a pprove a resolution adjusting the City development impact fees by 2.6% which will become effective July 1, 20 24. The increase is based on the Engineering News Record (ENR) construction cost index (CCI) increase over the last year, which is consistent with the fee ordinance.

BACKGROUND:

The City imposes fees on development to fund improvements to capital infrastructure and facilities required to accommodate and service ongoing development (Development Impact Fees).

Appropriately adjusted Development Impact Fees are a benefit to the c ommunity and to Developers alike. The public benefits by being able to improve or expand facilities as necessary to accommodate growth. Developers benefit by being able to mitigate certain impacts caused by their project on a fair share basis. No developer is required to solely mitigate a large impact caused by cumulative development. In other words, t here is no single developer to construct a major interchange project, build a new fire station, or upgrade a major sewer trunk main. Developers are also able to mitigate many impacts of their project identified through the CEQA, without lengthy and expensive study. A fee program that is not appropriately adjust ed, does not allow for the proper mitigation of impact due to growth.

Article V, Section 9 -40 through 9 -50 of the Salinas Municipal Code, defines the scope of these fees. Section 9 -42(b) of the Code allows Development Impact Fees to be adjusted annual ly to account for the fluctuation in construction cost s. The industry standard for determining the fluctuations in construction costs is the Engineering News Record (ENR). The “construction cost index” (CCI) as published by the ENR is based on a combination of labor rates and material costs, which are most reflective of construction costs averaged among 20 major metropolitan areas around the United States.

Page | 3
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Updating Development Impact Fees to match the fluctuating cost of construction is consistent with the Council values of Fiscal Responsibilit y, Service and Responsiveness and Council Goals and Strategies of Economic Development, Housing, Infrastructure, and Public Safety by investing in existing facilities and infrastructure, reducing City expenditures to address impacts due to growth, and by providing adequate funding to additional need for policing and emergency medical services due to growth.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Public Works staff has consulted with other City Departments to develop the recommen dation herein, including Administration, Finance, and Legal. Should the City Council approve the recommendation, Public Works will continue to collaborate with these departments, along with Community Development.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Increasing fees proportionate with the ENR construction cost index allows revenues to keep pace with construction cost inflation and will minimize the impact on the General Fund . As a consideration of the possible impacts COVID-19 had on our community, Council did not increase Development Impact Fees for the fiscal year 2020-2021.

The table below summarizes prior fiscal year Development Impact Fee increases.

Fiscal year Increase
2019-2020 3%
2020-2021 0%
2021-2022 2.1%
2022-2023 8%

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: APRIL 23, 2024
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: ADRIANA ROBLES, CITY ENGINEER
TITLE: SANITARY SEWER DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE UPDATE

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a Resolution updating the Sanitary Sewer Development Impact Fee Update.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Requesting approval of a resolution updating the Sanitary Sewer Development Impact Fee schedule effective July 1, 2024. The Sanitary Sewer Development Impact Fee schedule update modifies the impact fees to align with the adopted Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update and AB 602

BACKGROUND:

California Government Code Sections 66000 -66008, also known as the Mitiga tion Fee Act, provides local jurisdictions the authority to impose fees as a condition of approval of a development project to cover all or a portion of the cost of public facilities affected by the project.

The Mitigation Fee Act broadly defines public fa cilities to include public improvements, public services, and community amenities. The Act also contains specific requirements for establishing, increasing, and imposing impact fees, as well as for the collection and expenditure of those fees, and required annual reporting and periodic re-evaluation of the fee program (nexus study).

Pursuant to California Government Code and Article V of Chapter 9 of the Salinas Municipal Code, the City imposes development impact fees on development to fund improvements to capital infrastructure and facilities required to accommodate and service development (Development Impact Fees).

Appropriately adjusted development impact fees are a benefit to the community and to Developers alike. The public benefits by being able t o improve or expand facilities as necessary to accommodate growth. Developers benefit by being able to mitigate certain impacts caused by their project on a fair share basis. This reduces the burden of a developer to solely mitigate a large impact caused by cumulative development. In other words, no single developer is solely responsible to upsize a major sewer main if this is required to service other proposed developments.

Page | 2
On May 2, 2023, City Council adopted the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update (S SMP) which updated the 2011 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. The SSMP analyzed priority sewer main lines, manholes and pump stations. The consultant for the SSMP developed and calibrated a hydraulic sewer model to identify collection system deficiencies for existing and future build-out conditions.

The SSMP identified 51 operation and maintenance repair projects and prioritized priority projects.

Of these 30 projects would be impacted by future development. In order to adequately fund projects impacted by development, a nexus study was developed (Attachment). The nexus study analyzed the land use and project data of the SSMP and developed a fee consisted with AB 602 which requires assessment of impact fees based on square footage of building area. The proposed fee also includes a 2% administrative charge which will account for staff time in preparation of fee administration and updates.

The proposed Sanitary Sewer Development Impact Fee Schedule is as follows:

Residential: $ 1.2847 per square foot of building area Commercial: $ 1.1215 per 1000 square foot of building area Industrial: $ 0.5608 per 1000 square foot of building area

Finance Committee
City staff presented the Sanitary Sewer Development Impact Fee Update to the Finance Committee at its April 9, 2024, meeting. Public comment was provided from Mr. Dayton on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce. The Finance Committee unanimously approved recommending to the City Council approval of a resolution updating the Sanitary Sewer Development Impact Fee.

The staff report presented to the Finance Committee incorrectly identified the number of projects in the SSMP as 21. The correct number of projects is 51 as identified above and in the nexus study.

Outreach
Chamber of Commerce. City staff provided the Update to the Sanitary Sewer Development Impact Fee to the Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce via email on March 1 2, 2024. A revised fee schedule including the 2% administrative charge was provided on March 27, 2024. The email provided the proposed fee update along with the dates of the public meetings. No comments have been received from the members of the Chamber of Commerce to date.

Salinas United Business Association. City staff provided the Update to the Sanitary Sewer Development Impact Fee to the Salinas United Business Association (SUBA) via email on March 12, 2024. A revised fee schedule including the 2% administrative charge was provided on March 27, 2024. The email provided the proposed fee update along with the dates of the public meetings.

No comments have been received from the members of the SUBA to date.

Development Community. City staff provided the Update to the Update to the Sanitary Sewer Development Impact Fee to members of the development community including Future Growth Area developers and the Central Coast Builders Association via email on March 1 2, 2024. A revised fee schedule including the 2% administrative charge was provided on March 27, 2024. The email provided the proposed fee update along with the dates of the public meetings. No comments have been received from the development community to date.

Page | 3
Public Notice
Sixty (60) day public hearing notice for the Sanitary Sewer Development Impact Fee Update was published in a local newspaper on April 4th and 11th, 2024.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15378 and 15061(b)(3).

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Updating Development Impact Fees to mitigate impacts from development on existing sewer systems is consistent with the Council values of Fiscal Responsibility, Service and Responsiveness and Council Goals and Strategies of Economic Development, Housing, Infrastructure, and Public Safety by investing in existing facilities and infrastructure, reducing City expenditures to address impacts due to growth, and by providing adequate funding for improvement needed to allow for growth.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Public Works staff has consulted with other City Departments to develop the recommendation herein, including Administration, Finance, and Legal. Should the City Council approve the recommendation, Public Works will continue to collaborate with these depa rtments, along with Community Development.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact related to this item at this time. Imposing and updating development impact fees allows the City to be more fiscally responsible and sustainable.

I INTRODUCTION
The City of Salinas ("City"), a political subdivision of the State of California, authorized DTA to prepare a nexus study (the “Fee Study”) to justify the proposed Development Impact Fee (“DIF”) to be imposed on new development. The fee to be collected will provide a source of revenue to fund public improvements that will mitigate the impacts of such new development. This Fee Study will meet the requirements of California Government Code Section 66001 known as the "Mitigation Fee Act" and will achieve the following goals related to said section:
▪ Ensure the DIF does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of pro viding the service for which the fee is imposed; and
▪ Provide a clear and concise document that will serve as the basis for the proposed fee levels.

A DIF is a one -time charge imposed by a local agency on new development to recover, or partially recover, the estimated reasonable cost of providing public facilities needed to mitigate the impacts of such new develop ment. Further discussion on the legal limitations related to imposing the DIF is discussed in Section II, "Legal Requirements."
This Fee Study and the resulting fee structure will focus on the justification for imposing the impact fee to fund, or partially fund, sewer facilities necessary to mitigate the impacts of new development. The fee will be charged to new development within the City limits and development within the City’s Sphere of Influence that desire to tie into the City sanitary sewer system.

This Fee Study uses a planning horizon of 2035 for all projections of demographic growth and the future facilities needed. To ensure the proposed fee structure meets the nexus requirements of Section 66001 and ensure the fees are proportionate to the impacts generated by the various land uses, this Fee Study uses an Equivalent Dwelling Square Foot ("ESF") method to fairly allocate costs to new development and determine the appropriate fee levels that will provide a source of funds to pay for the proposed facilities. A more detailed discussion regarding the ESF methodology can be found in Section IV herein.

In addition, the fee for residential property is then calculated on a per square foot basis pursuant to AB 602 which was approved by the California State Legislature and signed by Governor Newsom in 2021 . A more detailed discussion regarding AB 602 can be found in Section II(B) herein.

Section VI of this Fee Study provides fee calculations based on demographics provided by the City and a detailed analysis of facility needs (the “Needs List”) as shown in the City’s Sanitary Sewer M aster Plan dated May 2023 (the “Master Plan”) prepared by Wallace Group, (“Wallace”) and adopted by the Salinas City Council on May 2, 2023 (Resolution No. 22648). For purposes of complying with AB 602, the Master Plan is considered to be the Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”).

An administrative component equal to 2.0% of the total fee amount has been added to pay for the City's overhead costs incurred in the administration of the fee program. Table I-1 summarizes the proposed Fee structure, including the administrative component.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

II LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The City has identified the need to levy an impact fee to pay for future sewer facilities. This fee will finance facilities on the Needs Lists at levels identified by the City as appropriate for new development. Upon the adoption of the Fee Study and required legal documents by the City Council, all new development will be required to pay its “fair share” of the cost of facilities on the Needs List through the fee . The fee is established pursuant to AB 1600 as described below.

Prior to World War II, development in California was held responsible for very little of the cost of public infrastructure. Public improvements were financed primarily through jurisdictional general funds and utility charges. It was not uncommon during this period for speculators to subdivide tracts of land without providing any public improvements, expecting the closest city to eventually annex a project and provide public improvements and services.

However, starting in the late 1940s, the use of impact fees grew with the increased planning and regulation of new development. During the 1960s and 1970s, the California Courts broadened the right of local government to impose fees on developers for public improvements that were not located on project sites.

More recently, with the passage of Proposition 13, the limits on general revenues for new infrastructure have resulted in new development being held responsible for a greater share of public improvements, and both the use and levels of impact fees have grown substantially. Higher fee levels were undoubtedly driven in part by a need to offset the decline in funds for infrastructure development from other sources.

The levy of impact fees is one authorized method of financing the public facilities necessary to mitigate the impacts of new development, as the levy of such fees provides funding to maintain an agency's existing level of service for an increased service population. A fee is “a monetary exaction, other than a tax or special assessment, which is charged by a local agency to the applicant in connection with approval of a development project for the purpose of defraying all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to the development project...” (California Government Code, Section 66000). A fee may be levied for each type of capital improvement required for new development, with the payment of the fee occurring prior to the beginning of construction of a dwelling unit or non-residential building (or prior to the expansion of existing buildings of these types). Fees are often levied at final map recordation, issuance of a certificate of occupancy, or more commonly, at building permit issuance. Actual fees will be collected as prescribed in the Salinas Municipal Code.

Assembly Bill (“AB”) 1600, which created Section 66000 et. seq. of the Government Code, was enacted by the State of California in 1987. This Fee Study is intended to meet the nexus or benefit requirements of AB 1600, which mandates that there is a nexus between fees imposed, the use of the fees, and the development projects on which the fees are imposed.

A Government Code Section 66001
In 2006, Government Code Section 66001 was amended to clarify that a fee cannot include costs attributable to existing deficiencies, but can fund costs used to maintain the existing level of service or meet an adopted level of service that is consistent with the general plan.

Section 66000 et seq. of the Government Code requires all public agencies to satisfy the following 4 SECTION II

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

City of Salinas April 9, 2024
Development Impact Fee Justification Study

www.FinanceDTA.com
requirements when establishing, increasing or imposing a fee as a condition of new development:

1. Identify the purpose of the fee. [Government Code Section 66001(a)(1)]

2. Identify the use to which the fee will be put. [Government Code Section 66001(a)(2)]

3. Determine that there is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development on which the fee is to be imposed. [Government Code Section 66001(a)(3)]

4. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is to be imposed . [Government Code Section 66001(a)(4)]

5. Discuss how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The sections below present each of the five requirements listed above as they relate to the imposition of the proposed fees.

1. PURPOSE OF THE FEE [GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66001(A)(1)] New residential and non-residential development within the City will generate additional residents and employees who will require additional public facilities. Land for these facilities will have to be acquired and public facilities and equipment will have to be expanded, constructed or purchased to meet this increased demand.

This Fee Study has been prepared in response to the projected direct and cumulated effect of future development. Each new development will contribute to the need for new public facilities.

Without future development many of the new public facilities on the Needs Lists would not be necessary as the existing facilities are adequate for the City’s present population. In instances where facilities would be built regardless of new development, the costs of such facilities have been allocated to new and existing development based on their respective level of benefit.

The proposed impact fee will be charged to all future development, irrespective of location, in the City. Even future “infill” development projects contribute to impacts on public facilities because they are an interactive component of a much greater universe of development located throughout the City. First, the property owners and/or the tenants associated with any new development in the City can be expected to place additional demands on City facilities funded by the fee. Second, these property owners and tenants are dependent on and, in fact, may not have chosen to utilize their development, except for residential, retail, employment and recreational opportunities located nearby on other existing and future development. Third, the availability of residents, employees, and customers throughout the City has a growth-inducing impact without which some of the “infill” development would not occur. As a result, all development projects in the City contribute to the cumulative impacts of development.

The impact fees will be used for the acquisition, installation, and construction of public facilities identified on the Needs Lists and appropriate administrative costs to mitigate the direct and 5 SECTION II

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

City of Salinas April 9, 2024
Development Impact Fee Justification Study

www.FinanceDTA.com
cumulative impacts of new development in the City.

2. THE USE TO WHICH THE FEE IS TO BE PUT [GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66001(A)(2)] The fee will be used for the acquisition, installation, and construction of the public facilities identified on the Needs Lists, included in Section V of the Fee Study and other appropriate costs to mitigate the direct and cumulative impacts of new development in the City. The fee will provide a source of revenue to the City to allow for the acquisition, installation, and construction of public facilities, which in turn will maintain the current standard of service, preserve the quality of life in the City and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the existing and future residents, visitors, and employees.

3. DETERMINE THAT THERE IS A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FEE’S USE AND

THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECT UPON WHICH THE FEE IS IMPOSED (BENEFIT RELATIONSHIP) [GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66001(A)(3)]
It is the projected direct and cumulative effect of future development that has prompted the preparation of the Fee Study . Each development will contribute to the need for new public facilities. Without future development, the City would have no need to construct many of the public facilities on the Needs Lists. For all other facilities, the costs have been allocated to both existing and new development based on their level of benefit. Even future “infill” development projects, which may be adjacent to existing facilities, further burden existing public facilities.

Consequently, all new development within the City, irrespective of location, contributes to the direct and cumulative impacts of development on public facilities and creates the need for new facilities to accommodate growth.

The fees will be expended for the acquisition, installation, and construction of the public facilities identified on the Needs Lists and other authorized uses, as that is the purpose for which the Fee is collected. As previously stated, all new development creates either a direct impact on public facilities or contributes to the cumulative impact on public facilities. Moreover, this impact is generally equalized among all types of development because it is the increased demands for public facilities created by the future residents and employees that create the impact upon existing facilities.

For the foregoing reasons, new development benefits from the acquisition, construction, and installation of the facilities on the Needs Lists.

4. DETERMINE HOW THERE IS A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NEED FOR THE

PUBLIC FACILITY AND THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECT UPON WHICH THE FEE IS IMPOSED (IMPACT RELATIONSHIP) [GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66001(A)(4)] As previously stated, all new development within the City, irrespective of location, contributes to the direct and cumulative impacts of development on public facilities and creates the need for new facilities to accommodate growth. Without future development, many of the facilities on the Needs Lists would not be necessary. For certain other facilities, the costs have been allocated to 6 SECTION II

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

City of Salinas April 9, 2024
Development Impact Fee Justification Study

www.FinanceDTA.com
both existing and new development based on their level of benefit.

For the reasons presented herein, there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities included on the Needs List and all new development within the City.

5. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF THE FEE AND THE COST OF THE PUBLIC

FACILITIES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE DEVELOPMENT UPON WHICH THE FEE IS IMPOSED (“ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY” RELATIONSHIP) [GOVERNMENT CODE 66001(A)] As set forth above, all new development in the City impacts public facilities . Moreover, each individual development project and its related increase in population and/or employment, along with the cumulative impacts of all development in the City, will adversely impact existing facilities.

Thus, imposition of the Fee to finance the facilities on the Needs Lists is an efficient, practical, and equitable method of permitting development to proceed in a responsible manner.

New development impacts facilities directly and cumulatively . In fact, without any future development, the acquisition, construction, and/or installation of many of the facilities on the Needs Lists would not be necessary as existing City facilities are adequate. Even new development located adjacent to existing facilities will utilize and benefit from facilities on the Needs List.

The proposed fee amounts are roughly proportional to the impacts resulting from new development based on the analysis in Section IV. Thus, there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the Fee and the cost of the facilities.

Identifying these items will enable an impact fee to meet the nexus and rough proportionality requirements established by previous court cases. These findings are discussed in the nexus test for each proposed fee element as presented in Section VI. Current State financing and fee assessment requirements only allow new development to pay for its fair share of new facilities’ costs. Any current deficiencies resulting from the needs of existing development must be funded through other sources. Therefore, a key element to establish legal impact fees is to determine what share of the benefit or cost of a particular improvement can be equitably assigned to existing development, even if that improvement has not yet been constructed. By removing this factor, the true impact of new development can be assessed and equitable fees assigned.

B Assembly Bill (“AB”) 602
The impact fees included herein were circumscribed by the requirements of AB 602, which was approved by the California State Legislature and signed by Governor Newsom in 2021. Among the significant impacts of AB 602 are the following:
▪ On or after January 1, 2022, fee justification studies must identify the existing Level of Service (“LOS”) for each public facility, identify the proposed new LOS, and (if proposed new LOS is greater than existing LOS) include an explanation of why the new LOS is necessary. ▪ For housing development projects, nexus studies adopted after July 1, 2022, must calculate the amount of fees based on square footage of proposed units of the development, unless the local agency demonstrates that another metric is more appropriate. The b ill would require 7 SECTION II

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

City of Salinas April 9, 2024
Development Impact Fee Justification Study

www.FinanceDTA.com
that a “local agency that calculated fees proportionally to the square footage of the proposed units be deemed to have used a valid method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by development.” This would also apply to multi-family residences.
▪ The bill also requires the Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), on or before January 1, 2024, to create an impact fee nexus study template that may be used by local jurisdictions to calculate their fees. The bill requires that the template include a method of calculating the feasibility of housing being built with a given fee level. The template must be completed by 2024, and local jurisdictions will have the option (it will not be required) to use the HCD template.
▪ The bill authorizes any member of the public, including an applicant for a development project, to submit evidence that the city, county, or other local agency had failed to comply with the Mitigation Fee Act. The bill requires the legislative body of the city, county, or other local agency to consider any timely submitted evidence and authorize the legislative body to change or adjust the proposed fee or fee increase, as specified. ▪ If a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumption of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of the fees collected under the original fee.
▪ Large jurisdictions (county population greater than 250,000) and cities within those counties must adopt a capital improvement plan (“CIP”) as part of the nexus study. ▪ Nexus studies shall be updated at least every 8 years from the period beginning January 1, 2023.

III DEMOGRAPHICS
In order to determine the public facilities needed to serve new development as well as establish fee amounts to fund such facilities, the City provided DTA with projections of future residential unit growth and future non -residential building square footage within the City . For purposes of projecting future residential and non-residential growth, the City categorizes developable land uses as residential property and non -residential property . Residential and non -residential property is further categorized into subclasses as shown in Table III-1. Based on these designations, DTA established fees for these land use categories to acknowledge the difference in impacts resulting from various land uses and to make the resulting fee program implementable . A summary of the land use classes utilized in this Fee Study are included in Table III-1. Information shown in the table below is based on the City’s 2002 General Plan (the “General Plan”).

Please note that for purposes of this Fee Study, any future ADU, as described in Table III -1 above, is assumed to be included in the buildout projections, but some of these units may not be required to pay an impact fee. As described in Section VIII herein, pursuant to Government Code Section 65852.2(f), ADUs are exempt from incurring impact fees from local agencies, special districts, and water corporations if such unit is less than 750 square feet. If an ADU is 750 square feet or larger, impact fee s shall be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the ADU to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. In addition, the DIF shall not be applicable to any ADU created within the existing space of a single - family residence or accessory structure, including, but not limited to, a studio, pool house, or other similar structure.

The following summarizes the future development figures used in calculating the impact fee.

A Future Development Within the City (2024-2035)
As discussed in the introduction above, the time horizon used for the fee is through the year 2035. These fee calculations rely on the development information provided by the City related to residential and non- residential building square feet through 2035 as described below.

A.1 Residential Development
The City estimates there will be 17,569 future residential units built within the City from the year 2024 through 2035.

In order to project future residential square footage, DTA utilized existing average square feet per residential unit data as provided by the City, using building permit data provided by City staff from 2018 to 2023, DTA calculated the average residential square footage for residential unit s constructed in the City within the past five years, as shown in Table III-2 below.

IV EQUIVALENT SQUARE FOOT PROJECTIONS
California Government Code §66001(4)(b) requires there to be a "...reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility, or portion of the public facility, attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed." Additional sewage volume generated by new development requires expansion of existing sewer systems. Therefore, sewage volumes generated by growth in the various land uses would be a reasonable variable to measure sewer dem and. To ensure a reasonable relationship is maintained within the proposed fee structure, this Fee Study uses an equivalent square foot (“ESF”) methodology. This approach establishes, for given land uses, a method of comparison of that land use to a baseline land use, utilizing a common demand variable. A demand variable is a measurable factor directly related to the size and cost of the public facility to be financed (“Demand Variable”). The Demand Variable in this study is the sewage generation rate for the various land uses (i.e., gallons per day (“GPD”)) per dwelling unit for residential property and per 1,000 building square feet for non-residential property. To conform to the requirements of AB 602, the Demand Variable for residential property is converted to GPD per square foot.

For the residential land use, the sewage generated per household, in GPD, is divided by the average square feet per household from Table III -3 to determine the residential sewage generation per day per square foot. The ESF Factor for each land use is deter mined by dividing the GPD per square foot values by the baseline GPD per square foot for the residential category.

Table IV-1 below shows the calculations of the ESF Factor for each land use category.

V PROPOSED FACILITIES
Expected future development within the City will generate impacts to the City’s sewer system in terms of sewage conveyance capacity and pump station capacity. The improvements that are necessary to mitigate the impacts of new development throughout the City will include new sewer pipelines and pump station improvements. These improvements will benefit both existing and future development. Facility costs and descriptions were provided in the City of Salinas, Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update, May 2023, prepared by Wallace Group. Furthermore, Wallace Group provided a summary of project cost allocations to existing and new development, as shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3 of Appendix A herein, “Summary of Capital Improvement Costs.” For purposes of complying with AB 602, the Master Plan is considered to be the CIP.

The need for projects listed in Appendix A, Table 1 (City of Salinas Future Sewer CIP Incremental Cost Summary Based on Future Flow Diameter) are driven solely by the demand by future development for additional capacity. If there were no future development the current pipe capacity would be adequate to handle existing flows. In order to provide additional capacity for future development, the exi sting pipelines will need to be abandoned and replaced by larger diameter pipes that can provide the capacity to handle flows from both existing and future development. The total project cost for each future CIP project is based on the larger replacement pipe size. The fair share cost allocation to future development is the cost to provide a pipeline that would have t he capacity to handle flows from future development only. For instance, the first project listed in the table, “San Juan Grade,” indicates an 8-inch pipeline would be required to convey flows from future development only, while the project calls for a 12 -inch pipeline that provides capacity for both existing and future development. Therefore, the cost allocated to future development for 8-inch diameter San Juan Grade project from Table 1 is equal to $2,394,000. The total project cost for the 12 -inch diameter project is $2,982,000, leaving $588,000 allocated to existing development. The total cost allocated to new development is shown as $35,306,000.

Appendix A, Table 2 (City of Salinas Existing Sewer Capital Improvement Program ) lists 31 conveyance projects that will provide capacity for both existing and future development. The project costs are allocated between existing and new development by percentage of total average daily flow for each project. The total project cost allocated to future development is $23,518,747.

Appendix A, Table 3 (City of Salinas Existing Lift Stations Capital Improvement Program) lists 11 lift station projects that will provide capacity for both existing and future development. The project costs are allocated between existing and future development by percentage of total average daily flow for each project. The total project cost allocated to future development is $11,124,994.

The costs from Tables 1 through 3 in Appendix A are summarized in Table V-1 below:

AB 602 requires “that the Nexus Study identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is necessary.” For purposes of this Fee Study, the level of service is defined as the capacity to collect and treat sewage generated from both existing and new development. This Fee Study determines sewage flows based on the same sewage generation factors used for both existing and new development.

Therefore, the level of service is the same for both existing and new development.

VI FEE CALCULATION
The section below presents the calculations used to determine the proposed sewer impact fee based upon the demographic data presented in Section III “Demographics” and the proposed capital improvement costs presented in Section V “Proposed Facilities,” herein.

Table VI-1 below illustrates how the sewer facilities fee will meet the requirements of AB1600 with regard to the use of the fee, the type of development funded, or partially funded by the fee revenue, the reasonable relationship to the need for the facilities and the proportionality requirements.

Table VI-1: Sewer Facilities
AB 1600 Code
Section Description Justification
66001(a)(1) Identify the purpose of the Fee.

To provide a revenue source that will pay for the construction of sewer projects that will be used to mitigate the impacts of new development in the City.
66001(a)(2) Identify the use to which the fee is to
be put.

Revenue from this fee will be used to construct new sewer facilities that will be used to provide general sewer collection and treatment services.
66001(a)(3)
Demonstrate how there is a
reasonable relationship between the
fee’s use and the type of
development project on which the fee
is imposed.

New residential and non-residential development will
generate additional residents and employees that will
increase the demand for sewer facilities. Sewer fees collected from new development will be used exclusively for
construction-related costs associated with these projects. 66001(a)(4)
Demonstrate how there is a
reasonable relationship between the
need for the public facilities and the
type of development project on which
the fee is imposed.

New residential and non-residential development within the City will generate additional residents and employees that will increase the need to collect and treat sewage generated by such new development. New sewer pipelines and treatment facilities are needed to collect and treat sewer generated from new development in the City.
66001(b)
Demonstrate how there is a
reasonable relationship between the
amount of the fee and the cost of the
public facility.

The cost of the proposed facilities are based on projected sewer generation from the various land uses. The amount of the fee for each land use is calculated based on the relative contribution of City-wide sewer flow from each land use.

IMPLEMENTATION OF FEE SCHESFLE

VII IMPLEMENTATION OF FEE SCHEDULE
In addition to the legal requirements covered in Section II, there are a number of recommendations for the adoption and administration of the DIF presented in this report. All recommendations presented in this section are based on the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code §66000 et seq.), also referred to as the “Act,” which provides specific requirements for establishing and administering DIF programs. The Act also mandates procedures for administering impact fee programs, such as the collection and accounting of impact fees, refunds, mandatory updates, and reporting requirements.

At the time the City imposes an impact fee, Government Code 66020 requires a written statement of the amount of the fee and a written notice of a 90 -day period during which the imposition of the fee can be protested. Prior to the enactment of Section 66020, a developer could not challenge the validity of fees imposed on a residential development without refusing to pay them . Under these circumstances, developers were required to pay disputed fees before they could be challenged . Section 66020 was drafted to correct that problem.

The various subparts of Section 66020 allow for a procedure that permits a developer to pay the fees under protest, obtain the relevant building permit, and then proceed with the project while pursuing an action to challenge the fees. If the action is successful, the fees will be refunded with interest. However, failure to protest imposition of the fee during the allowed period may deprive the fee payer of the right to any subsequent legal challenges . Any challenges to be filed must be submitted within 90 days of enactment. The subsequent sections provide specific guidelines in implementing the DIF.

Please refer to Section 9-44 of the City’s municipal code for any additional exemptions and credits related to the development impact fees.

A The Collection of the DIF
According to Government Code Section 66007, any local agency that imposes any fees or charges on a residential development for the construction of public improvements or facilities shall not require the payment of those fees or charges, notwithstanding any other provision of law, unti l the date of the final inspection or the date the Certificate of Occupancy is issued, whichever occurs first.

However, utility service fees may be collected at the time an application for utility service is received . If the residential development contains more than one dwelling, the local agency may determine whether the fees or charges shall be paid on a pro rata basis for each dwelling when it receives its final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy, on a pro rata basis when a certain percentage of the dwellings have received their final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy, or on a lump sum basis when the f irst dwelling in the development receives its final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy, whichever of the three occur first.

An exception allows the DIF to be collected at an earlier time if they will be used to reimburse the agency for expenditures previously made or for public improvements or facilities for which money has already been appropriated. If any fee or charge specified is not fully paid prior to the issuance of a building permit for construction, the local agency issuing the building permit may require the property owner, or lessee if the lessee’s interest appears of record, as a condition of issuance of the building permit, to execute a contract to pay the fee or charge, or applicable portion. 19 SECTION VII

IMPLEMENTATION OF FEE SCHESFLE

City of Salinas April 9, 2024
Development Impact Fee Justification Study

www.FinanceDTA.com
Statutory restrictions in place for residential development at the time at which fees may be collected do not apply to non-residential development. In cases where the fees are not collected upon the issuance of building permits, Sections 6607(c)(1) and (2) provide that the City may require the property owner of a non-residential development to execute a contract to pay the fee, and subsequently record that contract as a lien against the property owner.

In addition, pursuant to Government Code Section 65852.2(f), ADUs are exempt from incurring impact fees from local agencies, special districts, and water corporations if such unit is less than 750 square feet.

If an ADU is 750 square feet or larger, impact fees shall be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the AD U to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. Furthermore, the sewer capital improvement fee shall not be applicable to any ADU created within the existing space of a single- family residence or accessory structure, including, but not limited to, a studio, pool house, or other similar structure. Please note that for purposes of this Fee Study, future ADUs are included in the buildout projections, but some of these units may not be required to pay an impact fee. As a result, the City may not collect the full amount of costs as shown in the Needs Lists included herein.

B The Assignment and Expenditure of Fee Revenue
According to Section 66006, if a local agency requires the payment of a fee specified in connection with the approval of a development project, the local agency receiving the fee shall deposit it with the other fees for the improvement to be funded in a separate capital facilities account or fund in a manner to avoid any commingling of the fees with other revenues and funds of the local agency, except for temporary investments, and expend those fees solely for the purpose for which the fee was collected. Any interest income earned in the capital facilities account or fund shall also be deposited in that account or fund and shall be expended only for the purpose for which the fee was originally collected. Common practice is to maintain separate funds or accounts for impact fee revenues by facility category (i.e. , street and park improvements, but not for individual projects). DTA recommends the continuation of that approach.

C Exemptions, Reductions and Waivers
If a project has characteristics that indicate its impact on a particular public facility or infrastructure system will be significantly and permanently smaller than the average impact used to calculate impact fees in this Fee Study, the fees should be reduced accordingly. The City may decide to voluntarily waive or reduce the fees that would otherwise apply to a project to promote goals such as affordable housing or economic development. However, the implementation of this policy may not result in increa sed costs for other development projects and are allowed only if such costs are offset from other revenue sources.

D Developer Improvement Credits
If the City maintains a policy that requires a developer, as a condition of project approval, to construct facilities for which impact fees have been or will be charged, the impact fee imposed on that development project for that type of facility must be adjusted to reflect a credit for such dedication or construction .

Furthermore, the impact fee imposed on that development project for that type of facility must be adjusted to reflect a credit for the cost of the facilities or improvements constructed by the developer. If circumstances allow a developer to dedicate land, buildings, or other valuable considerations in lieu of 20 SECTION VII

IMPLEMENTATION OF FEE SCHESFLE

City of Salinas April 9, 2024
Development Impact Fee Justification Study

www.FinanceDTA.com
paying fees, the City maintains the discretion to accept or reject such offers and may negotiate the terms under which an offer would be accepted.

E Existing Development Credit
If a project involves the replacement, redevelopment , or intensification of previously existing development, impact fees should be applied only to the portion of the project which represents a net increase in demand for relevant facilities, applying the measure of demand used in this study to calculate that particular fee. Since residential service demand is normally estimated on the basis of demand per dwelling unit, an addition to a single-family dwelling unit typically would not be subject to an impact fee if it does not increase the number of dwelling units in the structure . In any project that results in a net increase in the number of dwelling units, the added units would normally be subjected to impact fees. A similar analysis can be applied to non -residential development using a measure of demand on which impact fees are based.

F Annual Reporting and Accounting of Fees
AB 1600 requires that both general law and charter cities account for every fee that they collect under its terms. Funds collected for each capital facility or service shall be deposited in separate accounts and not commingled with any other funds for other impact fees . While funds are accruing for individual capital facilities, the City must keep track of each fund and provide an annual report. Section 66006 requires that for each separate account or fund established, the local agency shall, within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year, make available to the public the following information for the fiscal year:

1. A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund;

2. The amount of the fee;

3. The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund;

4. The amount of the fees collected and interest earned;

5. An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of the expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees;

6. An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement, as identified in Paragraph (2) of Subdivision (a) of Section 66001, and the public improvement remains incomplete;

7. A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and, in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid and the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan; and

8. The amount of refunds made pursuant To Subdivision (e) of Section 66001 and any allocations pursuant to Subdivision (f) of Section 66001.
21 SECTION VII

IMPLEMENTATION OF FEE SCHESFLE

City of Salinas April 9, 2024
Development Impact Fee Justification Study

www.FinanceDTA.com
The City must review the information made available at the next regularly Scheduled public meeting not less than 15 days after this information is made available to the public . Notice of the time and place of the meeting, including the address where this information may be reviewed, shall be mailed at least 15 days prior to the meeting to any interested party who files a written request with the local agency for mailed notice of the meeting.

G Refunding Policy
Under the Mitigation Fee Act, Govt . Code §66000 et seq., each development fee must be deposited in a separate capital facilities account and may be expended only for the purposes for which it was collected.

For all unexpended fees, the agency must make findings every 5 years that:

1. Identify the purpose to which the fee will be put;

2. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the unexpended balance and the purpose for which the fee was charged;

3. Ascertain the sources and funding for any as-yet-incomplete public improvements; and

4. Designate the approximate date the agency expects the funding for uncompleted improvements to be deposited in the account [§66001(d)(1)]. The Act provides that “if the findings are not made as required by [the Act], the local agency shall refund the moneys in the account” to the current owners of the properties for which the fees were paid [§66001(d)(2)].

Failure to make the findings specified in Mitigation Fee Act requires a refund of all unexpe nded DIF revenues. When sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing of the public improvements contained in the CIP, the public agency shall identify "an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will be commenced" within 180 days of collection of the required funds (Gov .

Code §66001(e)]. Failure to comply with this requirement also mandates the return of the collected funds, as stated above.

Furthermore, pursuant to Gov. Code §66008.1, otherwise known as AB 516, which became effective as of January 1, 2024 requires the following:
• Require that annual reports include certain additional information, such as: (1) identifying public improvements in previous annual reports and whether construction began on the date previously identified; and (2) provide the reason for delay and a revised approximate date the local agency will commence construction for projects that did not begin timely. • Require that local agencies provide certain information to anyone paying a fee, such as the right to request audits, the right to request written notice of the meetings where annual reports are approved and a link to the website where annual reports are available. • Expands the purposes for which audits of fees may be requested.

H Annual Update of the Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”) It is common for jurisdictions to prepare a CIP in conjunction with a fee program . In fact, AB 1600 encourages the use of a CIP to assist in scheduling and implementing the services and improvements 22 SECTION VII

IMPLEMENTATION OF FEE SCHESFLE

City of Salinas April 9, 2024
Development Impact Fee Justification Study

www.FinanceDTA.com
funded through impact fees (Gov . Code §66002). A good CIP establishes a Schedule of improvements necessary to accommodate the projected growth. The CIP must indicate the approximate size, location, time of availability, and estimated costs of all improvements to be financed through fees [Gov. Code §66002(a)]. In order to create a usable CIP, a municipality must have an accurate understanding of its current service baseline and its projected growth . This requires an understanding of when, where, and how growth may occur within the area. The more information collected about future growth, the more comprehensive and accurate the CIP will be . A CIP can also help a municipality determine when new public improvements or the expansion of existing public improvements is needed in relation to the timing of new development.

If the public agency adopts a CIP, it must be updated annually [Gov. Code §66002(b)]. 10 days’ published notice is provided pursuant to Government Code §65090 and is also provided to any city or county that may be significantly affected by the CIP. If a CIP is adopted and is used as a basis for identifying the use of impact fees, the CIP must be adopted and updated annually by a resolution of the governing body at a public hearing . In the absence of a CIP, an alternative is to identify improvements in other public documents, such as General Plans, land studies, and other documents.

I Administration Costs of Fee Implementation
The cost of implementing the DIF is not included in the fees themselves and must be determined by the City. To recover the periodic costs of updating the fees studies, implementing the program, ongoing staff costs, managing the updates , and preparing annual and five -year updates required by the Act, an administration fee may be added to the impact fees calculated in this Fee Study. DTA recommends that these fee expenses are handled administratively and pass the costs on to user fees charged to applicants for processing fee applications. The calculation of the administrative cost for each fee in this Fee Study is presented in each respective fee section and in the Executive Summary.

J Indexing of Impact Fee Rates
The DIF presented in this report are based on current facility costs provided by the City and should be adjusted annually to account for inflation . The purpose of the adjustment is to account for future escalation in costs for land, equipment, vehicles, and construction. DTA recommends that after adoption, the fee should be reviewed each year and adjusted by a reliable index such as ENR’s CCI generally used as the primary basis for indexing construction costs . Ordinarily, land costs make up a significant portion of the costs covered by the fees and do not lend themselves to traditional cost indexes. As such, land costs should be adjusted to changes in local land prices.

K Updating the Impact Fee Study
As stated in Section II.B., AB 602 was signed into law in September of 2021 by the Governor of California, and it provides new Statewide requirements for local jurisdictions seeking to impose the DIF on development projects. Among these requirements are that nexus studies shall be updated at least every 8 years as of January 1, 2023. However, DTA concurs with the generally accepted policy that 5 years is a good rule-of-thumb time period for impact fee updates, particularly because the required 5-year findings (see above) can be approved at that same time . In some instances, fees may remain valid for a longer 23 SECTION VII

IMPLEMENTATION OF FEE SCHESFLE

City of Salinas April 9, 2024
Development Impact Fee Justification Study

www.FinanceDTA.com
period of time if the City’s land use and facility plans do not change. A case in point is a municipality at or near full build-out capacity. However, a dynamic, growing municipality facing significant changes in land use would do itself a disservice if it maintained the current fee structure for too long without a Fee Study to update the current rates.

L Administering an Impact Fee Program
Creating and administering an impact fee program can be a labor-intensive process requiring considerable preparation and training that should not be undertaken more often than necessary . A well-planned fee program can generate sufficient funds to allow the City to adequately mitigate impacts created by future development. Conversely, a poorly planned fee can result in either collecting too little money and being forced to pay for public facilities required as a result of future development through its General Fund or collecting too much money based on an unsupported fee program, thus exposing the City to a fee challenge or a requirement to refund unexpected proceeds.

All personnel involved in the process , including accounting, capital budgeting, and project management of any other area, must be made fully aware of the difference between impact fees and other fees, such as user fees, and of the guidelines and restrictions placed on the expenditure of impact fee revenues. The building impact fees generated in this report are tied to specific facility improvements and cost estimates provided by the City. The fees must be expended accordingly and must be able to withstand any challenges and show that the funds have been properly directed in accordance with proper AB 1600 guidelines.

In addition, every 5 years, the City shall report the status of the DIF funds in accordance with Government Code Section 66001(d) and shall i) identify the purpose to which the fee is put; ii) demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the p urpose for which it is charge, iii) identify the sources and amounts of funding needed to complete the program, iv) list the facilities not yet completed, and v) identify, to the extent possible, the timing of when the remaining funds are expected to be received.

BACKGROUND:

On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 481 – Military Equipment Funding, Acquisition, and Use into law. The Bill designated fifteen categories of police equipment items as military equipment. AB 481 required SPD to obtain approval of the City Council, by an ordinance adopting a military equipment policy, prior to any of the following activities:

1. Requesting military equipment made available pursuant to Section 2576a of Title 10 of the United States Code.

2. Seeking funds for military equipment, including, but not limited to, applying for a grant, soliciting, or accepting private, local, state, or federal funds, in-kind donations, or other donations or transfers.

3. Acquiring military equipment either permanently or temporarily, including by borrowing or leasing.

4. Collaborating with another law enforcement agency in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the city limits.

5. Using any new or existing military equip ment for a purpose, in a manner, or by a person not previously approved by the City Council pursuant to this chapter.

6. Soliciting or responding to a proposal for, or entering into an agreement with, any other person or entity to seek funds for, apply to rec eive, acquire, use, or collaborate in the use of, military equipment.

7. Acquiring military equipment through any means not identified above.

From January 1, 2022, forward, all new acquisitions of military equipment, as designated by AB 481, requires approval by City Council.

Information about AB 481 – Military Equipment Funding, Acquisition, and Use is available on the Police Department’s webpage and can be accessed at https://salinaspd.com/assembly-bill-481/.

The webpage contains the AB 481 defined list of police equipment deemed military equipment by numbered category and identifies each category of equipment SPD possesses. The webpage contains several links to additional information, including the full text of AB 481, the SPD Military Equipment policy, and the military equipment inventory currently in SPD’s possession. The webpage also contains a link to a webform where community members may ask questions, make comments, or voice concerns. Answers to those questions , and responses to the comments or concerns, are found by accessing another link. For those wishing to make a formal complaint, a link directs them to the complaint process webpage. SPD has and will co ntinue to update this webpage as equipment inventory changes, and as usage and cost data is reported via the AB 481 Annual Reports. The webpage will remain accessible so long as military equipment is available for use.

On August 23, 2022, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2657 which added Article III to Chapter 27 of the Salinas Municipal Code pertaining to the military equipment use policy in compliance with Assembly Bill 481. Before adopting the Ordinance, the Council determined several factors:
1) The Military Equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and community member safety. 2) The proposed military equipment use policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.

Page | 3
3) If purchasing additional equipment, it is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and community member safety. 4) Use of Military Equipment complied with the Policy that was in effect at the time of the use, or if prior uses did not comply with the Policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy non-conformance and ensure future compliance.

After adoption of the Ordinance, SPD is required to seek renewal of the Or dinance annually thereafter to continue using military equipment. SPD is required to submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. SPD is also required to hold a community engagement meeting where the public may discuss and ask questions about the AB 481 Annual Report.

As required by AB 481, codified in Government Code § 7072(a), SPD is submitting the 2023 AB 481 Annual Report t o City Council. The 2023 AB 481 Annual Report is posted on the SPD website and attached to this document. The report includes a summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use, a summary of complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment, information regarding violations of the military equipment use policy, the total annual cost for e ach type of military equipment, and the quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. For the calendar year 202 3 period, there were no reported violations of the military equipment use policy and one reported complaint related to the use of Category 2 equipment, the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected ( MRAP) vehicles at community events.

As required by AB 481, codified in Government Code § 7072(b), after releasing the annual military equipment report SPD is required to hold at least one well -publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and SPD’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. The 2023 AB 481 Annual Report was released on March 16, 2024, via posting to the SPD website and with a corresponding announcement related to the release of the report and the Community Meeting scheduled for April 15, 2024, at 6:00pm at the City Hall Rotunda. A follow- up social media post was done prior to the Community Meeting. To ensure maximum opportunity for input, SPD also provided a presentation to the Police Community Advisory Committee (PCAC) on March 27, 2024. Acting Chief John Murray presented the 2023 AB 481 Annual Report and PCAC members were told of the upcoming Community Meeting. During the presentation, PCAC Committee Member Eddy stated that she did not feel that the MRAP should not be displayed at community ev ents. Co mmittee Member Perez stated that a display of the MRAP may be acceptable in other areas of the county, but not in his district. Committee Chair Miller stated that the MRAP does not have any offensive capabilities and the display help s the community to understand the equipment and know that it comes to help. She suggested that SPD do more to provide education about use of the MRAP, such as displaying pictures of its use during the 2023 Floods. Committee Chair Miller also stated that she was glad to see the usage costs were low which aligns with the infrequent usage. A member of the community spoke during public comment and stated that he had another opinion about the MRAP use at community events, as he felt that seeing the MRAP may inspire children to want to be police officers so they can drive such equipment. The AB 481 Community Meeting was held on Monday, April 15, 2024, at 6:00pm at Page | 4
the City Council Rotunda. Several SPD staff remained available for more than 30 minutes, but no members of the public attended the Community Meeting during which SPD personnel were prepared to present the report and answer any questions related to AB 481.

As required by AB 481, codified in Government Code § 7071(e), City Council shall review any Ordinance at least annually and, subject to paragraph (2), vote on whether to renew the ordinance.

The referenced paragraph (2) states the governing body shall determine, based o n the annual military equipment report submitted pursuant to Section 7072, whether each type of military equipment identified in the report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in subdivision (d). The referenced subdivision (d) references the requirement that the use of military equipment complied with the Policy that was in effect at the time of the use, or if prior uses did not comply with the Policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy non -conformance and ensure future compliance.

SPD contends that the Ordinance, policy, and military equipment it possesses continues to meet all requirements set forth in AB 481 and has documented via the 2023 AB 481 Annual Report that there were no reported violations of the military equipment use policy. There was one complaint related to the use of Category 2 equipment, the MRAP, at community events. Given the information above, the department is requesting that City Council renew Ordinance No. 2657 ordinance as required by AB 481. The renewal of this Ordinance will allow SPD to continue using the vital equipment specified therein. Items deemed to be military equipment by AB 481 are used as a component of overall best practices for law enforcement agencies throughout the country. These tools have been utilized by SPD and other law enforcement agencies to enhance community and officer safety. Loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of both our community and the peace officers within SPD.

The department is also requesting the approval to purchase four new precision rifles for use by the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team. These rifles are a different platform than currently possessed by SPD and have the ability to be used for a wider variety of critical incidents. We have secured a quote for the precision rifles from LC Action totaling $9,999.15. Given the delay between quote and potential purchase, we are asking for a 5% contingency to be added to the quote amount to ensure we have the ability to purchase should the price change. Given the additional contingency, we are asking for authority to purchase the four precision rifles from LC Action for a cost not to exceed $10,499.11. Existing department appropriated General Fund will be utilized for these purchases.

There are no local vendor s that sell this specialized equipment, and we have an existing vendor with a long and positive history serving law enforcement. Given the absence of local vendors, as well as the information provided, the City Council has the authority to approve this direct purchase under Salinas Municipal code Section12 -27 and without application of the local purchasing preference pursuant to Salinas Municipal Code Section 12-28.080.

POLICE COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE:

To ensure maximum opportunity for input, SPD also provided a presentation. Acting Chief John Murray presented the 2023 AB 481 Annual Report to the Police Community Advisory Committee (PCAC) on March 27, 2024 and PCAC members were also told of the upcoming Community Meeting. Comments made at the PCAC Meeting are described earlier in this report.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project . The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Renewing the proposed Ordinance and authorizing the purchase of equipment will support the City Council’s Strategic Plan Goal of Public Safety.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The Police Department and Legal Department coordinated on the Ordinance and legal compliance with Assembly Bill 481, and the department will coordinate with the Finance Department during the purchasing process.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Approving the renewal of Ordinance No. 2657 will have no direct fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund, Measure E or Measure G funds. Oversight, including administrative data collection and reporting, is completed by existing Salinas Police Department staff.

Funds for the requested equipment is appropriated and available in the Patrol Division budget, account 1000.40.4220. Additional funds are not being requested for the purchase of the AB 481 equipment.

Assembly Bill No. 481
CHAPTER 406
An act to add Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, relating to military equipment.
[ Approved by Governor September 30, 2021. Filed with Secretary of State September 30, 2021. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 481, Chiu. Law enforcement and state agencies: military equipment: funding, acquisition, and use.

Existing law designates the Department of General Services as the agency for the State of California responsible for distribution of federal surplus personal property, excepting food commodities, and requires the department to, among other things, do all things necessary to the execution of its powers and duties as the state agency for the distribution of federal personal surplus property, excepting food commodities, in accordance with specified federal law. Existing law, the Federal Surplus Property Acquisition Law of 1945, authorizes a local agency, as defined, to acquire surplus federal property without regard to any law which requires posting of notices or advertising for bids, inviting or receiving bids, or delivery of purchases before payment, or which prevents the local agency from bidding on federal surplus property. Existing federal law authorizes the Department of Defense to transfer surplus personal property, including arms and ammunition, to federal or state agencies for use in law enforcement activities, subject to specified conditions, at no cost to the acquiring agency.

This bill would require a law enforcement agency, defined to include specified entities, to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a military equipment use policy, as specified, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. The bill would also require similar approval for the continued use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022. The bill would allow the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The bill would require the governing body to annually review the ordinance and to either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for a type, as defined, of military equipment or amend the military equipment use policy if it determines, based on an annual military equipment report prepared by the law enforcement agency, as provided, that the military equipment does not comply with the above-described standards for approval. The bill would specify these provisions do not preclude a county or local municipality from implementing additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

This bill would also require a state agency, as defined, to create a military equipment use policy before engaging in certain activities, publish the policy on the agency’s internet website, and provide a copy of the policy to the Governor or the Governor’s designee, as specified. The bill would also require a state agency that seeks to continue use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022, to create a military equipment use policy.

By adding to the duties of local officials with respect to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: yes Local Program: yes THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The acquisition of military equipment and its deployment in our communities adversely impacts the public’s safety and welfare, including increased risk of civilian deaths, significant risks to civil rights, civil liberties, and physical and psychological well-being, and incurment of significant financial costs. Military equipment is more frequently deployed in low-income Black and Brown communities, meaning the risks and impacts of police militarization are experienced most acutely in marginalized communities. (b) The public has a right to know about any funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment by state or local government officials, as well as a right to participate in any government agency’s decision to fund, acquire, or use such equipment.
(c) Decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, or used should give strong consideration to the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties, and should be based on meaningful public input.
(d) Legally enforceable safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures, must be in place to protect the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties before military equipment is funded, acquired, or used.
(e) The lack of a public forum to discuss the acquisition of military equipment jeopardizes the relationship police have with the community, which can be undermined when law enforcement is seen as an occupying force rather than a public safety service.

SEC. 2.

Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) is added to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, to read:

(G) Acquiring military equipment through any means not provided by this paragraph. (2) No later than May 1, 2022, a law enforcement agency seeking to continue the use of any military equipment that was acquired prior to January 1, 2022, shall commence a governing body approval process in accordance with this section. If the governing body does not approve the continuing use of military equipment, including by adoption pursuant to this subdivision of a military equipment use policy submitted pursuant to subdivision (b), within 180 days of submission of the proposed military equipment use policy to the governing body, the law enforcement agency shall cease its use of the military equipment until it receives the approval of the governing body in accordance with this section.

(1) Requesting military equipment made available pursuant to Section 2576a of Title 10 of the United States Code.
(2) Seeking funds for military equipment, including, but not limited to, applying for a grant, soliciting or accepting private, local, state, or federal funds, in-kind donations, or other donations or transfers. (3) Acquiring military equipment either permanently or temporarily, including by borrowing or leasing. (4) Collaborating with a law enforcement agency or another state agency in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the territorial jurisdiction of the governing body. (5) Using any new or existing military equipment for a purpose, in a manner, or by a person not previously approved by the governing body pursuant to this chapter. (6) Soliciting or responding to a proposal for, or entering into an agreement with, any other person or entity to seek funds for, or to apply to receive, acquire, use, or collaborate in the use of, military equipment. (7) Acquiring military equipment through any means not provided by this subdivision. (b) No later than May 1, 2022, a state agency seeking to continue the use of any military equipment that was acquired prior to January 1, 2022, shall create a military equipment use policy. (c) A state agency that is required to create a military equipment use policy pursuant to this section shall do both of the following within 180 days of completing the policy:
(1) Publish the military equipment use policy on the agency’s internet website. (2) Provide a copy of the military equipment use policy to the Governor or the Governor’s designee. 7074. The Legislature finds and declares that ensuring adequate oversight of the acquisition and use of military equipment is a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, this chapter applies to all cities, including charter cities and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions in the charter of any city, county, or city and county. 7075.

Nothing in this chapter shall preclude a county or local municipality from implementing additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act, which adds Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, furthers, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

Requiring local agencies to hold public meetings prior to the acquisition of military equipment further exposes that activity to public scrutiny and enhances public access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.

SEC. 4. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district under this act would result from a legislative mandate that is within the scope of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution.

HISTORY
On September 30, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom approved Assembly Bill (AB) 481 which requires California law enforcement agencies to adopt a written Military Equipment Use Policy prior to the Mayor and City Council (“governing body”) taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined within its jurisdiction if the equipment meets specified standards.

Read the full bill text at: Bill-Text-AB-481.pdf (salinaspd.org) A Summary of Bill 481 is below, in which the Legislature found and declared the following:
a) The acquisition of military equipment and its deployment in our communities adversely impacts the public’s safety and welfare, including increased risk of civilian deaths, significant risks to civil rights, civil liberties, and physical and psychological well-being, and increment of significant financial costs. Military equipment is more frequently deployed in low-income Black and Brown communities, meaning the risks and impacts of police militarization are experienced most acutely in marginalized communities. b) The public has a right to know about any funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment by state or local government officials, as well as a right to participate in any government agency’s decision to fund, acquire, or use such equipment. c) Decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, or used should give strong consideration to the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties, and should be based on meaningful public input. d) Legally enforceable safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures, must be in place to protect the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties before military equipment is funded, acquired, or used. e) The lack of a public forum to discuss the acquisition of military equipment jeopardizes the relationship police have with the community, which can be undermined when law enforcement is seen as an occupying force rather than a public safety service.

To address these concerns, AB 481 requires every law enforcement agency to do the following:
▪ Create a military use policy.
▪ Obtain approval of that policy by each agency’s applicable governing body. ▪ Publish that policy 30 days prior to the above required approval hearing. ▪ Create an Annual Report of each agency’s military equipment use. ▪ Hold a community engagement meeting within 30 days of submitting/publicly releasing the above Annual Report.

On August 23, 2022, the Salinas City Council approved an ordinance of the City of Salinas adding Article III to Chapter 27 of the Salinas Municipal Code pertaining to Salinas Police Department’s Military Equipment Use Policy in compliance with Assembly Bill 481.

ANNUAL REPORT OVERVIEW
A law enforcement agency that receives approval for a Military Equipment Use Policy is required to submit to the governing body an Annual Military Equipment Report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use.

It is also required that the annual report be made publicly available on the department's website, and the department will hold at least one well -publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting within 30 days of submitting and publicly rel easing the Annual Military Equipment Report.

The Annual Report must contain the following information:

1. A summary of how the equipment was used* and the purpose of its use.

2. A summary of any complaints or concerns from members of the public about the military equipment.

3. The results of an internal audit, including any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response.

4. The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing expenses; and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual report.

5. The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment.

6. If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year**, and the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.

The following Annual Report outlines a summary of the equipment usage guidelines, inventory***, fiscal impact, complaints, and reported community concerns (if any) for calendar year 2023 (January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023). *Please note that items used during training are not considered “use.” **Purchases or replacements of equipment are not always predictable. ***Inventory reflected in this report include all military equipment in SPD’s possession as of December 31, 2023.

SUMMARY OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT USAGE AND COSTS

Police events and critical incidents are unpredictable and often dynamic. Availability and use of specific equipment is necessary for incident commanders, officers, and specialized units to resolve incidents safely and effectively. It is incumbent upon incident commanders, supervisors, individual officers, and specialized teams to recognize the circumstances wherein equipment should be deployed and to utilize within the confines of department policy and California state law. Each use of military equipment is reviewed to ensure it was used properly and justly, based on the totality of the circumstances, public safety, officer safety, civil rights, state and/or federal law, and information available at the time of use.

Items used by the Salinas Police Department that are considered military equipment under Assembly Bill 481 include, but are not limited to, emergency response equipment such as command vehicles and armored rescue vehicles, precision weapons such as rifles, unmanned aircraft systems, less lethal munitions, and other select items. The continued access to, and use of this equipment is vital in ensuring our officers have the appropriate tools necessary to de- escalate situations, preserve life, ensure safety for all people, and protect civil liberties.

Because the Department’s inventory of military equipment listed in AB 481 fluctuates, for this report we are reporting inventory as of Dec. 31, 2023. Reasons for fluctuations can be due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, operational usage, operational deterioration, training, maintenance, expiration, and replenishment guidelines.

The AB 481 A nnual Report includes total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs.

Below is an explanation of the specific annual costs included or excluded within this report:

Acquisition
When inventory indicates multiple items, the most recent per item acquisition cost is listed , inclusive of sales tax and shipping . If purchased as part of a bundle or combo, that cost is reported. If equipment acquired in the past lacks readily available purchasing documentation, the acquisition cost and/or funding source may be reported as unknown. For the purpose of this report, accessories which are not a required component related to the functioning of AB 481 equipment are not included, such as slings, sights, cases, etc.

Personnel
Due to the size of the Salinas Police Department , the department does not have personnel dedicated solely to AB 481 equipment. Training is more general in nature and not limited to only AB 481 items, and staff who maintain this and other equipment do so as a n additional assignment. Given these circumstances, it would be difficult if not impossible to accurately capture the personnel costs related to AB 481 equipment.

5 | P a g e

Training
Expenditures that are specific to AB 481 training equipment, such as training kits for the 40mm less lethal launchers, are reported.

Transportation
Shipping costs will be included as part of the most recent per item acquisition cost.

Maintenance
Items specific to the maintenance or operation of AB 481 equipment are included in this report.

Examples would be replacement batteries that are required for proper functioning of UAS (drones) and robots, vehicle maintenance/repair costs, or outside vendor costs necessary to maintain AB 481 equipment.

Storage
There are no additional storage costs because all AB 481 equipment is stored on-site.

Upgrades
Upgrades that impact the functionality of the equipment, such as new barrels, stocks, etc. will be reported.

Other Ongoing Costs
Any annual costs not included in the categories above will be reported.

MILITARY EQUIPMENT CATEGORIES

Assembly Bill 481 created Government Code 7070 which designated 15 categories of items deemed, “military equipment.” Full text is at Bill-Text-AB-481.pdf (salinaspd.org).

The Salinas Police Department has equipment that meets the criteria of Military Equipment in nine (9) of the fifteen (15) categories. They include categories 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 14 listed in this report.

On the following page, listed is a summary of all fifteen (15) categories, along with the categories of military equipment utilized by the Salinas Police Department or currently included in its inventory.

Royal Arms Breaching Rounds

Manufacturer: Royal Arms
Description Photos: All photos are included in the table on the next page.

Description: Designed to defeat door hinges and locking mechanisms , f rangible rounds disintegrate upon impact making penetration through a barrier less likely.

Manufacturer Description: A breaching round is specially made for door breaching. It is typically fired at a range of 6 inches (15 cm) or less, aimed at the hinges or the area between the doorknob and lock and doorjamb, and is designed to destroy the object it hits and then disperse into a relatively harmless powder.

Capabilities: Frangible slugs defeat doors effectively breaching hinges or door locks for quick entry during tactical operations. The powdered steel -based product breaks up on impact, meaning a slug or other projectile does not penetrate the door. This limits the possibility of collateral damage on the other side.

“Flash-Bangs” and explosive breaching tools, “tear gas,” and “pepper balls,” excluding standard, service-issued handheld pepper spray Equipment Type: Flash-Bang | Noise Flash
Definitive Section: CA Gov’t Code Section 7070(c)(12)
Description and Equipment Capabilities: Canisters containing non-lethal chemical agents and/or smoke that are released when deployed.

This device is ideal for distracting dangerous people during high -risk situations during SWAT operations. Chemical agent and smoke canisters have a variety of individual capabilities and applications. Chemical agent and smoke canisters carry the agent into the environment in a variety of methods, including but not limited to powder, a liquid mist, smoke, pyrotechnic devices, and vapor aerosols. Exposure to chemical agents normally causes no lasting effects. This equipment has indoor and outdoor capabilities and uses.

Authorized Use | Purpose: The use of force by law enforcement personnel is a matter of critical concern, both to the public and to the law enforcement community. Officers are involved on a daily basis in numerous and varied interactions and, when warranted, may use reasonable force in carrying out their duties.

Generally, light/sound diversionary devices may be considered whenever the use of a diversion would help facilitate entry, enabling arrest and potentially reducing the risk of injury.

Circumstances for the use of light/sound diversionary devices shall include, but not limited to:
▪ Barricaded suspect and/or hostage situations
▪ High-Risk warrant services
▪ To distract a violent person, mentally deranged persons or persons believed to be under the influence of alcohol/drugs and necessary to facilitate apprehension ▪ When the Tactical Commander or Team Leader deems their use necessary to safely resolve an incident
Prior to deploying light/sound diversionary devices, SWAT personnel shall consider all available intelligence information and circumstances ( i.e., presence of small children or elderly persons, etc.). Circumstances may dictate that deployment of the device inside the objective is not an option. In these circumstances deployment will occur outside of the objective.

In all cases, light/sound diversionary devices shall be deployed in an area visible to the deploying officer. The deploying officer will not throw the device at anyone.

Due to the fact light/sound diversionary devices have the potential to ignite flammable materials,

57 | P a g e

a portable fire extinguisher should be readily accessible whenever these devices are deployed. In any situation a light/sound diversionary device is deployed, all S.W.A.T. members in the area should wear Nomex hoods and gloves.

Generally, these devices will not be used solely for the preservation of evidence. The Tactical Commander shall review the use of light/sound diversionary devices, as soon as practical, following each incident or operation to ensure the devices were used according to policy and that the devices functioned properly. All information obtained shall be used for statistical and training purposes.

Applicable Policies for Authorized Use: Except in emergencies (i.e. life threatening situations), light/sound diversionary devices shall not be used without prior authorization of the Tactical Commander or Team Leader. Applicable department policies include but are not limited to 300 Use of Force.

Training Requirements: Prior to use, officers must attend diversionary device training conducted by a POST certified instructor. This occurs during basic SWAT school and another half -day of in- house training.

Equipment Type: Chemical Agents & Munitions (“tear gas”) Definitive Section: CA Gov’t Code Section 7070(c)(12)
Description & Equipment Capabilities: Chemical agent munitions, which are commonly referred to as “tear gas,” may be used by the Salinas Police Department as a non -lethal tool to limit the escalation of conflict in conjunction with de-escalation tactics when feasible. The use of chemical irritants is an option to limit the escalation of conflict by the use of less lethal options in conjunction with de-escalation tactics when feasible. The use of chemical irritants are an option that can be selected in the goal of protection of life and property and/or restoration of order.

Authorized Use | Purpose: Applicable department policies include but are not limited to 300 Use of Force and 308 Control Devices and Techniques.

The use of force by law enforcement personnel is a matter of critical concern, both to the public and to the law enforcement community. Officers are involved on a daily basis in numerous and varied interactions and, when warranted, may use reasonable force in carrying out their duties.

Generally, the option to deploy chemical irritants will be exercised after a suspect has been given numerous opportunities to surrender, the Tactical Commander is satisfied that negotiations have been exhausted, and that further communication with the suspect will not result in the suspects' surrender.

The deployment of this less lethal option is intended to resolve the situation without creating a confrontation between the police and the suspect. In using chemical irritants, the intent is to make the suspect's environment so uncomfortable that he/she se eks to exit the structure or vehicle and is taken into custody by an arrest team. It is never the intent of the Salinas Department to injure or punish the suspect by using these devices. The suspect's failure to surrender has created the need for this option.

Tear gas may be used for crowd control, crowd dispersal or against barricaded suspects based on the circumstances. Only the Watch Commander, Incident Commander or SWAT / HNT Commander may authorize the delivery and use of tear gas.

Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) may be used on a person or group of people who are engaging in, or about to engage in violent behavior. OC should not be used against people or groups who merely fail to disperse or do not reasonably appear to present a risk to the safety of officers or the public.

SPD SWAT Standard Operating Procedures: Prior to deployment, the Tactical Commander and Team Leader should consider the evacuation of the area around the objective site that may be affected by the application of the chemical agents. Command personnel should insure, within reason, there are no i nfants, ill, or physically mentally or emotionally disabled people in the specified deployment area. The team member(s) assigned to deploy the chemical irritants will develop a Chemical Agents Deployment Plan which wi ll explain how much irritant will be used,

62 | P a g e

where it will be introduced and how it will be deployed (except during Emergency Gas Deployment). These team members will then present the plan to the Team Leader and Tactical Commander.

Prior to deployment, both team members will inspect the munitions to avoid confusion or errors.

Once the Chemical Irritant Deployment Team(s) are in place, they will advise the Team Leader.

The Team Leader will advise them when to deploy the munitions and this order will be repeated by the Chemical Irritants Deployment Team to eliminate any confusion.

When practicable, fire personnel should be alerted or summoned to the scene prior to the deployment of tear gas to control any fires and to assist in providing medical aid or gas evacuation if needed.

Training Requirements: Members must attend a department approved chemical irritant school to participate on the Chemical Irritant Deployment Team.

CATEGORY 14 - 40MM Projectile Launchers and Munitions
The following projectile launch platforms and their associated munitions: 40mm projectile launchers, “bean bag,” rubber bullet, and specialty impact munition (SIM) weapons
Equipment Type: 40MM Projectile Launchers and Projectiles Definitive Section: CA Gov’t Code Section 7070(c)(14)
Description and Equipment Capabilities: An impact launcher capable of firing an array of less lethal 40mm rounds. This is used to limit the escalation of conflict by the use of less lethal options in conjunction with de -escalation tactics when feasible. The 40mm launcher is exclusively used as a less lethal force option for both kinetic energy projectiles and chemical agents. 40mm less lethal launchers have an effect range of up to 20 yards.

The 40mm less lethal launcher may be deployed to gain compliance or de-escalate conflicts to help prevent a situation from becoming a lethal force situation. The system’s effectiveness provides time and distance between officers and a suspect, reducing the immediacy of the threat and allows opportunity for further de-escalation. This system can be used to address self - destructive/suicidal, dangerous, and/or combative individuals; to gain a tactical advantage from a distance (i.e., breaking a window to get an unobstructed view of an individual or disabling a security camera); against potentially vicious animals; and for crowd control and/or civil unrest incidents where the use of the 40mm is objectively reasonable.

Authorized Use | Purpose: In order to control subject(s) who are violent or who demonstrate the intent to be violent, The Salinas Police Department authorizes officers to use Control Devices in accordance with policy to limit the escalation of conflict by the use of less lethal opt ions in conjunction with de-escalation tactics when feasible.

Kinetic energy projectiles when used properly, are less likely to result in death or serious physical injury and can be used in an attempt to de-escalate a potentially deadly situation.

Circumstances appropriate for deployment include, but are not limited to, situations in which:
a) The person is armed with a weapon and the tactical circumstances allow for the safe application of approved munitions.
b) The person has made credible threats to harm him/herself or others. c) The person is engaged in riotous behavior or is throwing rocks, bottles or other dangerous projectiles at people and/or officers.

73 | P a g e

d) There is probable cause to believe that the person has already committed a crime of violence and is refusing to comply with lawful orders.

Applicable Policies for Authorized Use: Applicable department policies include 300 Use of Force, 308 Control Devices and Techniques, and 309 Conducted Energy Device.

Kinetic energy projectiles and chemical agents for crowd control purposes shall only be deployed by officers who have received POST training for crowd control if the use is objectively reasonable to defend against a threat to life or serious bodily injury to any individual, including an officer, or to bring an objectively dangerous and unlawful situation safely and effectively under control (Penal Code S 13652).

Training Requirements: To use 40mm less lethal kinetic energy projectiles, officers are required to attend department approved training. To use less lethal chemical irritants including those delivered by 40mm projectile launchers, officers are required to attend a department approved chemical irritant school.

CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: APRIL 23, 2024
DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
FROM: LISA BRINTON, DIRECTOR
THROUGH: GRANT LEONARD, PLANNING MANAGER

BY: MONICA GURMILAN, SENIOR PLANNER
TITLE: GENERAL PLAN UPDATE /VISIÓN SALINAS 2040 PUBLIC

SAFETY AND HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE

STUDY SESSION

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

No action required. Receive and comment on report and presentation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This report and study session discusses and seeks Council guidance on emerging topics of conversation and priorities of the Public Safety and Health and Environmental Justice Elements being prepared as part of the General Plan update. The Health and Environmental Justice Element is a new state mandate and is meant to establish goals and programs related to understanding and addressing environmental injustices in the community. Public Safety discussion expands on the current, broader, Sa fety Element , which has now been split into two separate chapters, Environmental Safety and Public Safety. The Public Safety Element also tackles issues pertaining to inequity and seeks to work in conjunction with Health and Environmental Justice Element to create a safer, healthier, thriving Salinas for all.

BACKGROUND:

Public Safety

Over the last few years, City leadership and community stakeholders have expressed a desire for a more robust Safety Element. Using the General Plan Update process as an opportunity to respond to this request, staff collaborated with both the Fire and Police Departments, as well as Library and Community Services’ Community Alliance for Safety and Peace (CASP) division to establish a new framework for the City’s first Public Safety Element. The previous General Plan held the concept of safety as a broader concept which included safety from natural and human made hazards Page | 2
and how to mitigate and address them. The new Public Safety El ement looks beyond standard safety practices and traditional police/fire department activities.

This Public Safety Element addresses issues of crime, violence, and other human caused hazards and identifies methods to provide a safe and enjoyable environment by:

1. Continuing to promote non-violent conflict resolution.

2. Providing effective and responsive emergency services (including response alternatives)

3. Implementing building and outdoor design techniques that support safety and mitigate human hazard.

Public Safety Engagement

Public safety has been a recurring discussion topic throughout this and other planning processes.

Many of the Health and Safety goals, policies and actions from the Alisal Vibrancy Plan were used as a foundation for Public Safety Element outreach. Existing goals were carried over and a series of new policies and actions were added to reflect the community’s vision. Feedback was captured through a series of pop -up activities, community-led surveys (including a youth surve y) and two (2) community workshops, one in English and one in Spanish. The top three areas of concern determined by four (4) pop -up activities were (1) more lighting in streets and public spaces, (2) pedestrian traffic safety, and (3) youth programming and services. Feedback from the 2022 and 2023 budget surveys, which included over 4,000 responses, was also added to the recurring themes.

Public Safety Element Policy

The Draft Public Safety Element goals, policies, and actions in Attachment 2 are written to address issues of crime, violence, and other human caused hazards and identifies methods to provide a safe and enjoyable environment. Draft policies and actions summarized below are organized under three (3) goals:

PS Goal 1: Continue to play a central role in the creation and maintenance of a community that resolves its problems in non-violent ways.
 Improve community safety through civic engagement and relationship building.  Implement alternative policing methods.

PS Goal 2: Provide effective and responsive police and fire services to ensure a safe and vibrant community.
 Ensure residents have effective and responsive emergency services.  Improve facilities and access to equipment and technology.  Foster collaboration with other departments, outside agencies/organizations to improve community reach.
 Provide a range of services to support community education and non-emergency situations.

PS Goal 3: Create a safer community through the use of design techniques for existing spaces, new developments, and reuse/revitalization projects.

Page | 3
 Promote the use of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) techniques and strategies.
 Cultivate a safe and clean neighborhood environment.

Environmental Justice Background

The Health and Environmental Justice (HEJ) Element is the result of Senate Bill 1000 which requires local governments to include an EJ Element in their General Plans to address inequitable distribution of pollution and the associated health effects in disadvantaged and underserved communities of color.

"Environmental justice" is defined in California law as the fair treatment of people of all races, cultures, and incomes with respect to the development, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. “  (Cal. Gov. Code, § 65040.12, subd. (e).)   The HEJ Element addresses issues of health inequities concerning:

1. Quality of the built environment

2. Access to community services, programs, and facilities

3. Access to healthy and affordable foods

4. Safe and sanitary homes

5. Access to safe and good-quality recreational facilities

6. Civic engagement.

Historically, throughout Salinas, low-income residents, communities of color, indigenous peoples, and immigrant communities have disproportionately suffered the greatest environmental burdens.

Issues related to pesticide exposure (contributing to air pollution and poor water quality), lack of access to green space and fresh food, limited access to health care, overcrowded housing and a poorly maintained housing stock have resulted in long -term health effects and a substandard quality of life for many Salinas residents. The Health Environmental Justice (EJ) Element seeks to alleviate those realities by placing focus on people, how they are connected and affected by environmental hazards, and how those issues could be minimized and mitigated regardless of race, ethnicity, or income level.

Health and Environmental Justice Engagement

HEJ Element engagement began in the fall of 2022 and continued through the Spring of 2023.

Various outreach strategies were utilized to identify and highlight community priorities and assist in the development of goals, policies, and tangible actions connected to air and chemical pollution, healthy food access, problems with City infrastructure, health care access, and concerns related to safe/healthy housing. Following the recurring theme of meeting community members where they are, HEJ engagement also included additional strategies to include the voices of Salinas residents often left out of the decision -making process. These strategies included holding pop -up events at 5am at unorthodox locations like a bakery that is popular amongst farmworkers picking up lunch before their shifts, and lunch time presentations and focus group discussions with agricultural workers in fields on the outskirts of town.

Page | 4
The development of the HEJ Element also included the City’s first Spanish -led community workshop and grassroots led engagement in Mixteco speaking communities. Over five hundred forty (540) residents were reach ed through these workshops, pop -up activities, focus groups and community presentations. The top three areas of concern determined by the collective outreach were:

1. Access to health care

2. Access to safe/healthy housing

3. Access to healthy food and grocery stores.

Additional feedback from the 2022 and 2023 Budget Survey was also used in the HEJ goal and policy development.

Health and Environmental Justice Element Policy

The Draft Health and Environmental Justice goals, policies, and actions in Attachment 4 reflect community engagement throughout the General Plan Update, recommendations from other recent planning efforts, and Steering Committee review. The draft’s policies and actions summarized below are organized under seven (7) goals:

HEJ Goal 1: Improve the quality of the built and natural environments to support healthy lifestyles & reduce health inequities.
 Improve the built environment through land use policies and programs.  Ensure that sensitive land uses are not negatively impacted by hazardous materials.

HEJ Goal 2: Provide and maintain a range of community services, programs, and institutional facilities to equitably meet the needs of the community.  Expand access to high quality childcare.
 Provide resources for seniors, persons with diverse abilities and other vulnerable populations.
 Strengthen the capacity and sustainability of community-based organizations (CBOs).

HEJ Goal 3: Ensure all Salinas’ residents have access to purchase and grow healthy, affordable, and culturally diverse relevant foods.
 Reduce food insecurity and promote healthier eating habits through community programs and education.
 Promote year-round access to locally sourced food through urban agriculture.

HEJ Goal 4: Ensure safe and sanitary homes.
 Work to eliminate health risks associated with lead -based paint, mold, and other contaminants.
 Pursue policies that prevent displacement.

HEJ Goal 5: Promote spaces for physical activity.
 Create and maintain safe and accessible spaces to encourage physical activity.  Provide resources for youth and seniors to engage in safe physical activity.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that this administrative report and study session is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activitie s which have the potential for causing a 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.

Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project.

Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability. An Environmental Impact Report is being prepared for the General Plan Update.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

The General Plan update itself is specifically reflected in the Strategic Plan as an objective under Effective and Culturally Responsive Government. Additionally, the proposed Health and Environmental Justice and Public Safety Elements developed as part of the General Plan update specifically advance the City’s Strategic Plan initiatives related to Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability, Youth and Seniors, and Public Safety.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Community Development Department (CDD) staff is working with, Library and Community Services, Police, and Fire staff to review draft policies and documents to ensure internal consistency and direction . CDD staff is also working closely with the City Attorney and their outside special counsel firm Meyers Nave on the development of the General Plan and related environmental documents.
