DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FROM: LISA BRINTON, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR

THROUGH: VINCENT MONTGOMERY, PLANNING MANAGER

FRANCISCO BRAMBILA, MANAGEMENT ANALYST

TITLE: FIFTH SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO UNITED STATES

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FY
2019-2020 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a Resolution authorizing:

1. the submission of a Fifth Substantial Amendment to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan (AAP) after incorporating any necessary modifications based upon community feedback to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and

2. the City Manager or designee to execute, for and on behalf of the City, any agreements and related documents for HUD funded projects and activities as outlined in the Fifth Substantial Amendment Summary to the FY 2019-2020 AAP.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This Fifth Substantial Amendment (Amendment) to the FY 2019-2020 AAP proposes to reallocate additional fund s in the amount of $208,400 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) CARES Act (-CV) to the Economic Development Technical Assistance activity to extend the term of the Community Development Analyst – Limited Term position in the Community Development Department - Economic Development Division (Small Business Navigator) through the end of FY 2024-2025. Additionally, the Amendment will consolidate and reconcile all the City’s awarded CDBG-CV funding to eligible activities.

BACKGROUND:

Annually, the City as a HUD entitlement jurisdiction, is required by HUD to submit an AAP for review and approval. The AAP serves as the City’s official grant application to HUD for its annual entitlement allocations of CDBG, HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. The AAP describes eligible projects, programs, and funding amounts for each fund source as well as a description of its relationship to objectives contained in the City’s Page | 2
broader five-year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan). The FY 2019-2020 AAP was submitted to HUD on June 10, 2019, and approved by HUD on August 20, 2019.

A Substantial Amendment is a formal process that a jurisdiction can exercise to modify an existing HUD approved Con Plan or AAP. Amendments are also required when seeking to fund new activities not previously identified in a Con Plan and AAP or if an increase in current activity funding or total activity beneficiaries exceeds a certain percentage threshold. Per the City’s HUD approved Citizens Participation Plan, this process also requires a public notice, five-day public review period of the proposed amendment for CDBG-CV and ESG-CV activities and a public hearing.

On May 26, 2020, the City Council conducted a public hearing to approve a First Amendment to its FY 2019-2020 AAP to accept and allocate $1,190,782 of CDBG-CV Phase 1 funding and $617,245 of ESG-CV Phase 1 funding. Shortly thereafter, on June 9, 2020, HUD notified the City that it would receive an additional allocation of $5,814,926 of ESG-CV Phase 2 CARES Act funding. On June 23, 2020, the City Council conducted a public hearing and approved a Second Substantial Amendment to the FY 2019-2020 AAP to allow for the receipt and compliant programming of both Phase 1 and Phase 2 CARES Act CDBG-CV and ESG-CV funds.

On September 11, 2020, HUD again notified the City of an additional $1,209,375 in CARES Act Phase 3 CDBG-CV funding. To fully access this funding and move forward with planned projects , the City Council conducted a public hearing on January 19, 2021, and approved a Third Substantial Amendment to its FY 2019-2020 AAP.

Furthermore, on December 6, 2022, City Council approved a Fourth Substantial Amendment to include new eligible activities (ESG Rapid Rehousing/Emergency Shelter) and the modification and reconciliation of all activities and funding amounts for the City’s CDBG -CV and ESG -CV allocations.

The proposed Fifth Amendment was made available for public review starting on November 2, 2024, through November 12, 2024. This item was also presented to the Housing and Land Use Committee on November 5, 2024. Additionally, this City Council meeting serves as the required public hearing process. Table 1 below lists all activities, components, and funding amounts of the proposed f ifth amendment. Complete descriptions are listed in the attached Substantial Amendment Summary .

The Economic Development Technical Assistance activity has been funding a Community Development Analyst - Limited Term position in the Community Development Department - Economic Development Division (Small Business Navigator) to assist small businesses access financial and technical assistance to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus. However, existing funding only supports this position to the end of November 2024. Reallocating funds to the Economic Development Technical Assistance activity will ensure sufficient funding to extend the position to the end of FY 2024-2025. Additionally, this position would also be funded with remaining funds in the administration activity.

Reducing the Housing Information and Referral Services & Fair Housing activity would have no change on the services being provided by the City for this purpose, since sources of funding are being utilized to provide the same services.

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).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Historically, Current Planning operations have been supplemented with consultant service agreements with Rincon and SCI. Rincon has been an integral partner to the Community Development Department since October 2017 providing general planning and environmental services. Rincon’s services encompass a variety of critical tasks, including peer review of CEQA documents, evaluation of Future Growth Area development, and other specialized planning endeavors. Rincon's support has been instrumental in the advancement of key economic and housing development initiatives, as well as the processing of cannabis permits. Also, since 2022, Community Development has contracted with SCI, Inc. for commercial cannabis inspection and reporting, and commercial cannabis tax assessments. Before 2022, and since the inception of the cannabis program at the City of Salinas in 2017, MGO provided a similar service.

Page | 2
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached R esolutions authorizing the City Manager to execute Agreements with Rincon, Consulting, Inc., and with SCI, Inc. to ensure the provision of a high level of customer service and efficient project processing.

BACKGROUND:

General Planning and Environmental Services: Rincon Consultants, Inc

In September 2017, the Community Development Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Contract Planning Services to various planning firms. Rincon was selected to fulfill these services, which have included reviewing and analyzing Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), aiding in plan document creation for the Chinatown Revitalization and Alisal Vibrancy Plans, and providing planning and environmental services for the Future Growth Area, Accessory Dwelling Units, and entitlement packaging. Based on Rincon's expertise in permit processing services and cannabis regulations, Rincon has been actively engaged in providing permit services for the City of Salinas' commercial cannabis program. Past agreements and subsequent amendments focused on planning and environmental services covering areas such as environmental support, advanced planning, staff training, grant writing, and cannabis permit processing.

It is envisioned that Rincon will continue to augment city staff with review and processing of multiple complex projects including, but not limited to, Future Growth Area subdivisions, large industrial projects within the Salinas Ag Industrial Center Specific Plan area, and Cannabis application review and permitting assistance.

The term of the proposed agreement is November 12, 2024, to June 30, 2027, with a total amount of compensation not to exceed $225,000.

Commercial Cannabis Tax Assessment and Monitoring Services: SCI Consulting Group

Since 2022 the Community Development has contracted with SC I Consulting Group for commercial cannabis inspection and reporting, and commercial cannabis tax assessments. Before 2022, and since the inception of the cannabis program at the City of Salinas in 2017, MGO provided a similar service. On April 26, 2022 , the City entered into an agreement with SCI Consulting Group, which expired on December 31, 2022. Compensation was capped at $150,000.

Subsequently, on May 16, 2023, the City entered into a new agreement with SCI Consulting Group for Commercial Cannabis Tax Assessments, and Compliance Inspections and Reporting. The term of the agreement expired on June 30, 2024. Compensation was capped at $180,000. The term of the proposed agreement is November 12, 2024 , to June 30, 2027, with a total amount of compensation not to exceed $150,000.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action s are not projects 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 activities Page | 3
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 actions and 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 i ndirect 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.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

Yes.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

The proposed Agreements support the City of Salinas Strategic Plan 2022-2025 Goals and Strategies of Economic Development, Housing/Affordable Housing, Public Safety, and Effective and Culturally Responsive Government by enhancing Current Planning operations and facilitating safe and efficient development within the City including the provision of government programs and services in a professional, customer -oriented manner that ensures equitable solutions for the community and efficiently moves projects forward within required timelines.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The Community Development Department staff has collaborated with the City Attorney's Office to develop the proposed agreements. Ongoing collaboration with the City Attorney's Office will continue should the Council authorize the City Manager to enter into the Agreements.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Funding for the proposed Agreements was included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget under the Current Planning Division.
