Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks & Recreation Subject: Consideration and Direction to Suspend the Rental Policies for the Walker House and Develop Administrative Policies and Procedures for the Rental of Available Space at the Walker House Not Conflicting with the Current Use by the City’s Restaurant Lessee and Nonprofit Tenant
____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
The City Council approved a rental policy for the Walker House at its meeting of November 13, 2012 (Attachment 1). The rental policy enables individuals to rent various rooms in the facility, including a conference room located on the second floor. As the first floor is now occupied by Vincenzo’s Terrazza Restaurant and the Historical Society occupies the second floor with the exception of one room and some rooms used for storage, it is no longer viable to maintain the rental policy for just a conference room. The City’s Parks and Recreation Department will revise the policy at the administrative level to manage and allow use of this conference room to support the needs of non-profit and governmental partners such as the Historical Society, Bonita Unified School District, and other San Dimas organizations with compatible uses with the Walker House, and as such, a formal policy from the Council related to the entire building is not necessary.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Approve the suspension of the Walker House Rental Policy and direct the City’s Parks and Recreation Director to develop an Administrative Policy and Procedure for the use of available space at the Walker House.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.

Temporary Suspension of Rental Policies for Conference Room in Walker House Page 2 For the Meeting of September 12, 2023

BACKGROUND
At its meeting of November 13, 2012 the City Council approved a Walker House Rental Policy (Attachment 1). The purpose of the policy is to ensure that the Walker House is operated in a manner that best serves the public. The policy provides rules and procedures for the rental of various rooms in the facility, including the rental of a conference room on the second floor.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
When the Walker House Rental Policy was approved by the City Council in 2012, the facility was not fully utilized. Currently, the second floor is occupied by the San Dimas Historical Society and the first floor is fully occupied by Vincenzo’s Terrazza Restaurant. As renting the conference room on the second floor would be disruptive to both organizations, staff recommends temporarily suspending the rental of the second-floor conference room. The Parks and Recreation Department will continue to accommodate requests to rent conference rooms by renting rooms in other facilities and allow access to the Walker House second-floor conference room for partner non-profits and governmental agencies such as the Chamber of Commerce, Historical Society, and Bonita Unified School District at the discretion of the Parks and Recreation Director. The impact to residents is expected to be minimal as any use of the remaining available use is very limited.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could choose to retain the existing policy in force which would then only apply to one second-floor conference room. In this scenario, staff would continue to approve rental requests for the second-floor conference room and would make its best efforts to mitigate any impact to Vincenzo’s Terrazza and the Historical Society. However, staff would deny any rental requests that could potentially prevent the City or Vincenzo’s Terrazza from fulfilling contractual obligations that are outlined in the Agreement between the two entities to allow the restaurant to operate in the facility or for uses that are not in keeping with the use of a conference room. Given the limited available space in the Walker House, it is more administratively efficient to allow City staff to define policies and procedures on the use of any space in the building.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

Scott Wasserman

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
From: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks and Recreation Prepared by: Joseph Jones, Recreation Manager
Subject: Consideration and Approval of a Ten-Year Facilities Use Agreement with the San Dimas Senior Club for Use of the San Dimas Senior Center and San Dimas Community Building
____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
This is a request for approval of a 10-year Facility Use Agreement with the San Dimas Senior Club to utilize the Senior Center.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Approve a 10-year Facility Use Agreement with San Dimas Senior Club to utilize the San Dimas Senior Community Center and San Dimas Community Building and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT
This is a Use Agreement to enable the Senior Citizen’s Club of San Dimas to utilize the San Dimas Senior Community Center and San Dimas Community Building for Club activities and to offer recreation programming for seniors. This is a contract for an amount of $6,000 for renting the facility to the San Dimas Senior Club.

BACKGROUND
The Senior Citizen’s Club of San Dimas was founded in 1965 and has operated in the San Dimas Senior Center since the 1960’s. On April 13, 2023, the City Manager met with the San Dimas Senior Club to discuss the need to develop a Facility Use Agreement with the City of San Dimas to formalize the relationship between the two entities as no such agreement was in place.

San Dimas Senior Club Use Agreement Page 2
For the Meeting of September 12, 2023

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The San Dimas Senior Club (Club) has been paying a fee of $500 per month to the City to utilize the Senior Center and Community Building to conduct Club activities and offer senior programming, which includes the popular Bingo programming for the City. If the Club did not provide Bingo, the City would likely need to offer this program due to its significant success and utilization by seniors.

Revenue generated from Bingo and other activities is reinvested back into the community via monetary donations that the Club provides to local 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations. Over the past seven years, the Club has donated a total of $181,211.88 to various nonprofit organizations and for scholarships.

The Club is a beneficial and robust asset for the City and for the operations of the Senior Center.

However, for many years, the Club has operated without an agreement which codifies the different relationship the City has with the Club versus other users of the Senior Center. Further, the City does not retain liability protection, nor clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the Club in the use of the facility. As the City has been reviewing agreements, or in this case the lack thereof, City staff believe there is significant benefit to the City and Club to maintain a written agreement of its relationship.

As such, City staff met with the Board of Directors of the Senior Club to discuss the proposed agreement. Additionally, staff consulted the chair of the Senior Citizens Commission (Wally Nikowitz), who likewise met separately with the Club to support the agreement. The proposed Use Agreement includes the same $500 per month fee currently being paid for by the club and locks in the rate for the duration of the agreement. This rate allows the Club to properly plan and recognizes the immense positive impact the Club has for our seniors and other nonprofit organizations.

The agreement between the two entities to clarify roles and responsibilities, establishes operating parameters, and provides liability protection. To the liability protection, the City has agreed to require only coverage for the specific activities performed by the Club and not for coverage over the facility which is the typical requirement of renters and other contractual users of city facilities, or vendors with contracts with the City. This exception was done to lower the cost burden on the Club and to allow the maximum amount of Club revenue to be contributed out to the community.

The exception means that the City will be covered of an injury or illness occurs by virtue of the activity but would not cover the instance that someone trips and falls in a City building by virtue of the building itself. The City still retains its own coverage for these building type of liabilities.

The net effect is still to provide higher liability protection than previously required.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could decide not to approve the agreement between the City of San Dimas and the Senior Citizen’s Club of San Dimas. Under this scenario, staff would need to engage the Club in a similar manner as individuals who visit the Center and to require separate agreements for each event performed. This Ten-Year agreement streamlines the Club’s ability to perform various events, activities, while eliminating the inefficiency of requiring such separate agreements.

For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
From: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks and Recreation Prepared by: Joseph Jones, Recreation Manager
Subject: Consideration and Approval of a Facilities Use Agreement with Bonita Unified School District for Use of the San Dimas Recreation Center Swimming Pool and Related Facilities
____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
The City has signed a new Facility Use Agreement with the Bonita Unified School District for use of a portion of the San Dimas Recreation Center.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council
• Approve the Facility Use Agreement with Bonita Unified School District to utilize a portion of the Recreation Center and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the contract.

FISCAL IMPACT
Estimated revenue of up to $129,760. The agreement allows the exclusive use by the Bonita Unified School District (BUSD) during approved use.

BACKGROUND
In July 2023, the City Manager negotiated a new hourly pool rental fee of $160 per hour in a effort to help offset the actual cost of operating and maintaining the facility. The Bonita Unified School District submitted a formal Facilities Use Agreement to use the Recreation Center for the FY 2023- 24 school year (Attachment 1). The new agreement is for an amount not to exceed $129,760, which is $16,140.88 higher than the previous agreement from 2022 (when the hourly rate was $140 per hour), which helps offset the total cost of the facility. The actual cost for the facility is

Revenue Generating Facilities Use Agreement – San Dimas Recreation Center Page 2 For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
much higher than the $160/hourly rate; however, the City is balancing the need to offset General Fund subsidy for the facility with barriers to use of the facility by entities such as Bonita Unified School District.

In accordance with the City’s contracting guidelines, the proposed Facilities Use Agreement must be approved by the City Council as it is anticipated to generate over $100,000 in revenue.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The San Dimas Recreation Center located at 990 W. Covina Boulevard is owned and operated by the City of San Dimas. The BUSD is the main user group of the facility. San Dimas High School uses the swimming pool approximately 811 hours annually for physical education classes, water polo and swim teams. Per the new Facility Use Agreement with the City, the BUSD pays a flat rate of $160 per hour for use of the swimming pool. The contract with the BUSD is expected to generate revenue of approximately $129,760 per year ($160/per hour x 811 hours=$129,760).

The actual revenue generated will depend on actual use.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council can decide not to approve the Facilities Use Agreement submitted by the BUSD.

Under this scenario, the City Council can provide direction to staff regarding specific concerns or desired next steps with respect to the BUSD’s use of the Recreation Center.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

The total vehicle budget is enough to support the quotes listed below, however small dollar supplemental amendments which are permitted under the Administrative Services Director's authority per the adopted budget policy may be necessary to move budgeted funds from one vehicle account to another in order to properly account for each purpose. Those supplemental adjustments will be provided to Council for their review and approval.

BACKGROUND
This report is an adjustment to the staff report submitted for the August 8th, 2023 Council Meeting. The amendments in this report reflect updated pricing for vehicles that are no longer available in the 2023 model year. Replacing our fleet vehicles in a scheduled manner allows us to meet infrastructure maintenance requirements and to respond to requests from residents.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The City Vehicle Fleet is utilized by our Public Works, Parks & Recreation and Facility Maintenance staff in order to assist them in maintaining the various City roads, sidewalks, medians, parks and facilities. The trucks carry tools, heavy equipment and materials needed at various jobsites.

The City has historically maintained vehicles well beyond the 5-year life expectancy of a vehicle and described by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, but at a certain point the continued maintenance and repairs make it advantageous for the City to move on from our older vehicles and replace them with newer models.

The advanced safety features and fuel economy of the newer vehicles assists with keeping our staff safe while on the road while at the same time reducing annual gas and maintenance costs.

The following is a breakdown of the quoted pricing for equipment and vehicle purchases as well as outfitting.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Shari Garwick, Director of Public Works
Subject: Rejection of all Bids for Construction Contract 2023-06 Culvert Repair Under San Dimas Avenue
____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
Construction Contract 2023-06 Culvert Repair under San Dimas Avenue was publicly bid on August 15, 2023. The City received bids from 3 contractors. The bid results came in much higher than expected and budgeted. The lowest construction bid was $587,800 which with contingency and engineering would bring the overall project budget to $734,750. The amount allocated for repair in the FY 2023-2024 budget is $200,000. As the budget shortfall is $534,750, Staff recommends rejecting all bids to enable staff to find alternate repair methods that would potentially be less costly and still provide the required structural repair.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Reject all bids for Construction Contract 2023-06 Culvert Repair under San Dimas Avenue due to the cost being higher than the amount allocated in the budget.

FISCAL IMPACT
The requested action is administrative and has a minimal fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND
The 66-inch diameter corrugated culvert that lies under San Dimas Avenue just east of Puddingstone drive was originally built by Caltrans as part of the construction of the 57 FWY (formerly 210 FWY) in approximately 1969. This portion of San Dimas Avenue was realigned to make way for the freeway. Sections of the culvert under San Dimas Avenue have deteriorated and need repair. Construction Contract 2023-06 Culvert Repair under San Dimas Avenue was

Rejection of all Bids for CC 2023-06 Culvert Repair Under San Dimas Avenue Page 2 For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
developed using traditional repair processes that included welding sections of corrugated metal pipe, installing rebar and concrete. Another portion of the project includes removal of degraded asphalt channel and replacement with a more durable concrete swale as well as installation of rock rip rap at the inlet to the storm drain.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
On August 15, 2023, the City Clerk publicly opened 3 formal bids for Construction Contract 2023- 06 Culvert Repair under San Dimas Avenue. The preliminary bid results are as follows:

Contractor Construction Bid
1 Leonida Builders, Inc $ 587,800
2 Los Angeles Engineering Inc. $ 888,150
3 BRBCON, Inc $ 999,888
The overall project budget would include amounts for contingency and engineering as well as construction. Using the lowest bid, the estimated project budget would be:

Project Budget
Construction Bid $587,000
Project Contingency of 15% $ 88,050
Engineering Services and Inspection 10% $ 58,700
Total Project Budget $ 734,750
The overall project budget exceeds the amount budgeted in FY 2023-24 which was $200,000 in Fund 12 (Infrastructure Fund). The budget shortfall is $534,750. Due to the high cost, staff does not recommend awarding the project as bid. Staff recommends performing temporary repairs and researching alternate repair methodology that may be more cost effective. Staff has reached out to a couple of the bidders to determine ways to reduce the costs.

Additionally, over the last several decades, alternative repair processes have been developed that provide long term structural solutions that are potentially more cost effective. These solutions include lining the existing pipe with a polymer-based material, or slip lining the pipe with a slightly smaller pipe or using a centrifugally cast concrete liner. Staff will review these and other processes to determine the most cost-effective candidate. While the alternative repair is developed, Staff will pursue temporary repairs to protect the storm drain from further degradation.

ALTERNATIVES
Council can choose to award the contract as bid. With construction, contingency and engineering the overall project budget would be $734,750. To fund the overall project budget, Council would need to appropriate and allocate an additional $534,750 from the general fund and allocate the $200,000 of monies budgeted in FY 2023-24 budget for storm drain repair to Construction Contract 2023-06 Culvert Repair Under San Dimas Avenue. Council could then award the contract to the lowest bidder Leonida Builders, Inc for the amount bid of $587,800.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Luis Torrico, Planning Manager
Subject: Review and Discussion of the Downtown Area Sign Ordinance Report ____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
At the August 22, 2023, City Council meeting, the Council directed Staff to bring back a report to present the Sign Ordinance requirements for properties located within the downtown area to inform the downtown business owners of the types and number of signs that are allowed.

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file. No action required.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.

BACKGROUND
At the August 22, 2023 City Council meeting, the Council directed Staff to bring back a report that discusses the type and number of signs that are allowed for businesses located within the downtown area. This was requested in response to a business owner’s concerns with parking impacts due to the proposed A Line (formerly known as the Gold Line or L Line) and increasing visibility for their businesses.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Chapter 18.152 (Attachment 1) of the San Dimas Municipal Code regulates signage for properties in the City. Specifically, section 18.152.150 regulates signs in the historic downtown area. For purposes of the Sign Ordinance, the historic downtown area is defined as the area that extends west of Walnut Avenue to Cataract Avenue and south of Fourth Street to Arrow Highway, omitting properties that have frontage on Arrow Highway (Figure 1).

Downtown Area Sign Ordinance Report Page 2
For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
Figure 1 - Sign Ordinance Defined Downtown Area
In addition to the Sign Ordinance, some properties with multiple tenants are further regulated by a sign program, which is meant to provide a comprehensive sign design policy and plan for the property. The sign program may include, but not be limited to, specification of colors, letter style, construction method, approval method, and sign locations. A sign program could be more restrictive, but not less restrictive than the Sign Ordinance.

The Sign Ordinance allows businesses in the downtown area to have a variety of signs including:
• Window sign
• Canopy sign
• Icon/projecting sign (in lieu of a wall sign)
• Primary wall sign
• Secondary wall sign
o Up to two secondary signs
o May face the rear parking lot

Downtown Area Sign Ordinance Report Page 3
For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
• Portable signs
• Monument signs for commercial buildings which have a zero setback from the public rightof-way The Sign Ordinance also has additional regulations for each sign type such as the maximum sign area, lighting requirements and percentage of window sign coverage. In addition, as previously mentioned, some developments are further regulated by a sign program which may be more restrictive than the Sign Ordinance. For example, Grove Station is regulated by a sign program that only allows one wall sign per business. If a business owner would like to add a secondary wall sign, the sign program would have to be amended. The change to the sign program would require review and approval by the Development Plan Review Board.

New wall signs are subject to a concurrent review from the Planning and Building Divisions. While no Planning application is required, Staff recommends that the Planning Division be consulted to ensure compliance with the Sign Ordinance, and if applicable, with the sign program prior to submitting.

The current Sign Ordinance allows for variety and flexibility when it comes to signs for businesses.

This includes allowing secondary wall signs to be located at the rear of their buildings which face the parking area and would provide visibility for when the A Line begins operating.

ALTERNATIVES
Not applicable.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

18.152.010 Purpose.

A. The intent of this chapter is to encourage the installation of signs that provide reasonable opportunities for business identification, improve the appearance of buildings and neighborhoods, encourage innovation and enhance the economic effectiveness of the business community while preventing needless distraction and clutter from the other signs in the area. Carefully designed and regulated signing can contribute to the visual quality of the community, increase economic activity and provide for a desirable environment effectively balancing a variety of seemingly competing needs.

B. The purpose of all permitted permanent signs is primarily to provide identification of buildings, businesses and special locations. Permanent signs are not meant to provide advertisement. Because of this, the sign regulations in this chapter have been designed to encourage and promote building, business and special location identification.

C. The objectives of the various sign regulations set forth in this chapter are:

1. To ensure that permanent signs serve primarily to identify the business establishments on any site and facilitate the economic effectiveness of the business community.

2. To ensure that temporary signs which primarily address desires to advertise products, services and events are compatible with the goals set forth in subsection A of this section.

3. To ensure that signs harmonize with their buildings and neighborhoods and with other signs in their vicinity.

4. To encourage signs which are well designed and pleasing in appearance and to provide incentive and latitude for variety, good design relationship and spacing.

5. To require that signs are carefully designed and professional in appearance.

6. To enhance the economic value of the community through the appropriate regulation of such characteristics as size, number, location, design and illumination of signs.

7. To avoid traffic hazards by minimizing visual competition among signs and by providing for clear identification of businesses.

D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, any noncommercial copy may be substituted for any commercial copy on any sign permitted by this chapter. If noncommercial copy is substituted, the sign shall be subject to the same time, place and manner standards applicable to the original commercial sign as set forth in this chapter.

18.152.190 Directional and tract signs.

A. Directional and Identification Tract Signs.

1. An on-site promotional tract sign not exceeding ninety-six square feet per face in area and not exceeding sixteen feet in vertical height may be located at each major entrance to a tract, subdivision or community development for a period not to exceed one year. The planning director may extend such one-year period for additional six-month periods; provided, however, that if the initial sale of all units is completed during any such period, all signs shall be removed. If the entrance is clearly visible from a freeway, the sign may be increased in area to not more than two hundred square feet. If the entrance is not visible from a freeway, but the tract, subdivision or community development abuts a freeway, one additional on-site directional sign not to exceed two hundred square feet may be approved by the planning director.

Such sign may be installed in a location which is visible from the freeway, and may indicate the nearest off-ramp. No sign shall be located less than eight feet from the property line.

2. Temporary off-site directional tract signs may be located on the major or secondary highway nearest the tract.

Signs shall not exceed ninety-six square feet in area. c. Such signs shall be located not less than eight feet from the property line, and shall not exceed sixteen feet in vertical height.
d. All such signs shall be supported by a properly engineered design subject to the approval of the building official. e. Such signs shall be permitted on a temporary basis for a period not to exceed one year. The planning director may extend such one-year period for additional six-month periods; provided, however, that if the initial sale of all units or lots is completed during any such period, all signs shall be removed. f. Signs shall be maintained a minimum distance of fifty feet from any residence to which the signs do not refer and a minimum distance of fifty feet from any other sign.
g. Every person erecting such sign or signs shall pay to the city a permit fee of fifty dollars for each and every sign erected. In addition, such person shall deposit with the building department the sum of one hundred fifty dollars cash for each and every sign so erected as a security to insure the removal of all signs. If all such signs are removed within fourteen days after expiration of the permitted period, the one hundred fifty dollar cash deposit shall be refunded. If all such signs are not removed, then the city or its agent may enter on all property on which all such signs are located and remove all such signs, and the cost of such removal shall be deducted from such cash deposit and the remainder, if any, returned to the person depositing the one hundred fifty dollars. h. Before any permit for any such sign is issued, the applicant shall furnish the building department written authority in a form approved by the city attorney, granting the city or its agent permission to enter upon the premises to remove such sign. The authorization must be signed by the owners of record of the premises and by the person proposing to erect the sign.

3. Signs not exceeding three in number and each not greater than four square feet in area may be located on the same lot as a model home, so long as the home is used to promote the original sale of each house in the tract. (Ord. 1212 § 1, 2012; Ord. 1103 § 1, 1999)

a. Any political sign in violation of Sections 18.152.060 and 18.152.070 shall constitute a public nuisance and shall be deemed abandoned by its owner and may be summarily removed by the city without notice. b. Any political signs in violation of subsections (B)(1)(a) through (B)(1)(d), (B)(2)(a) and (B)(2)(b) of this section may be removed by the city if, after providing five calendar days’ written notice requesting the violation be corrected by the owner of the signs and the property owner or tenant on whose property the signs have been posted, the political signs are not removed, relocated or altered as required by this section. The notice requirements herein shall be satisfied upon a reasonable and diligent effort by the city to locate the owner of the sign, property owner and/or tenant.

C. Search Lights. Search lights may be permitted, subject to approval of a temporary use permit from the planning department. Search lights may be associated with a grand opening or a special event and shall be permitted for no more than three days per year per business location.

D. Menus for Restaurants. Such signs shall not exceed four square feet in area and may be displayed in the window or on the exterior wall in an appropriate manner, as approved by the planning director.

E. Secondary Businesses in One Tenant Space. For businesses that are secondary to a primary business (e.g., banks located in grocery stores), one wall or window sign shall be permitted for identification, in addition to the signs permitted for the primary use. The wall or window sign permitted shall:

1. Not exceed ten square feet in total size.

2. Not exceed twelve inches in letter height.

It is the city’s desire to encourage appropriate public art and murals that provide interest and beauty to the city. Any entity that is responsible for funding and constructing public art and murals may be entitled to some identification space in association with the public art and mural. The size, design and location of the sign is subject to the review and approval of the development plan review board or its designee. The design of any public art or mural is generally intended to contribute to the historic or cultural character of the city and not further a commercial interest. (Ord. 1212 § 1, 2012; Ord. 1103 § 1, 1999)

18.152.250 Historic signs.

It is the city’s desire to preserve historic signs that contribute to the preservation of the history or culture of the past.

Signs having recognized historic or cultural significance which do not meet the standards set forth in this chapter may be exempted from these regulations by the development plan review board and approved in addition to the number of signs and sign area otherwise allowed. Any such sign shall be preserved in appropriate condition consistent with its historic character. (Ord. 1212 § 1, 2012)

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Lauren Marshall, Sr. Management Analyst
Subject: Authorization of the Proposition 218 Process for Proposed 2024 Solid Waste Rates and Budget Appropriation in the Amount of $15,000 for Printing and Postage Costs
____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
Waste Management has submitted the proposed solid waste rate increase for 2024 (Attachment 1). The City's Franchise Agreement with Waste Management (Agreement) allows for an annual rate adjustment based upon a formula factoring in changes to the:
• Consumer Price Index (CPI), and
• Landfill and disposal costs.

The annual rate adjustment formula for the 2024 Service Component and Disposal Component (respectively defined below) for residential and commercial customers is in Attachment 2. The proposed ratepayer “Public Notice” with proposed rate tables using this adjustment formula, as well as a notice for a five-year rate adjustment methodology not-to-exceed an annual CPI of 5% are in Attachment 3.

RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the City Council:
• Authorize staff to initiate the Proposition 218 Process to adjust rates for solid waste, organics, and recycling services by sending the proposed Public Notice to the City Attorney’s Office for any revisions substantially consistent with the form in Attachment 3 and final approval; and set a public hearing on November 14, 2023 for the City Council’s consideration of the proposed rate schedule and five-year adjustment methodology; and • Appropriate $15,000 from the General Fund for printing and postage to all City rate payers.

FISCAL IMPACT

Authorization of the Proposition 218 Process for Proposed 2024 Solid Waste Rates Page 2 For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
This rate adjustment is a formula set within the Agreement and is based on a ratio of the following two components and further outlined in Attachment 2:

1. The “Service Component,” which consists of Waste Management’s operational costs to provide service (e.g. trucks, fuel, labor, etc., and is adjusted by Consumer Price Index (CPI)

2. The “Disposal Component,” which is based on landfill and disposal costs (including organics compliance under new State laws)
Solid waste rates are paid for by residential and commercial properties in the City and are based on meeting disposal and processing compliance measures set forth by the State of California. Please refer to the rate tables attached to the proposed Public Notice in Attachment 3 for full residential and commercial rates proposed for calendar year 2024. The proposed rate increase starting January 1, 2024 is 4.70%, which is less than an overall 5% cap. In addition, as described further below, rates will be adjusted annually for a period not-to-exceed five years for inflation and changes in disposal rates charged by landfills and other disposal facilities.

The cost to administer the Proposition 218 process will require a general fund appropriation of $15,000. These costs include printing and postage of the Public Notice to all rate payers (parcel owners and occupants), as well as costs related to publishing the Notice for a public hearing twice in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin during the 45-day Proposition 218 noticing period.

BACKGROUND
Franchise Agreement Terms
The City of San Dimas entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement for Solid Waste Management Services (Agreement) with Waste Management of San Gabriel/Pomona Valley (WM) on October 31, 2017. The Agreement includes a rate adjustment formula for annual rate adjustments.

Staff has engaged an outside consultant to assist with review of the proposed rate increase. The City’s consultant, HF&H Consultants LLC (HF&H), has reviewed the requested rate adjustment for contractual compliance and mathematical accuracy. The consultant and staff’s subsequent analysis finds the requested rate adjustments do comply with the Agreement and are mathematically accurate as reflecting the costs of providing refuse, recycling and organics services. Based on the information provided by WM and confirmed by HF&H, staff believes the proposed adjustment for residential and commercial rates is a reasonable methodology, compliant not only with the Agreement, but also compliant with Proposition 218 (discussed further below) in terms of proportionally reflecting the costs of providing WM’s services.

The Franchise Agreement includes a clearly defined method for adjusting solid waste rates for inflation. Each year, a rate adjustment is proposed by Waste Management for City Council approval (Attachment 1). The rate adjustment itself, is a formula set within the Agreement and is based on a ratio of:

1. The Service Component which is adjusted by Consumer Price Index (CPI), and

2. The Disposal Component based on landfill and disposal costs.

The CPI information is obtained from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”). The Disposal Component is based upon the actual increase in disposal costs

Authorization of the Proposition 218 Process for Proposed 2024 Solid Waste Rates Page 3 For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
for each of the disposal facilities used and weighted based upon the percentage of waste disposed of by Waste Management at each facility.

All waste-related rate increases are subject to California law, including Proposition 218 noticing requirements.

Proposition 218 Notice and Procedural Requirements/Protest Process Rules In 1996 Proposition 218 (Prop 218) was passed to add Articles XIII C and XIII D to the California Constitution. Article XIII D imposes procedural and substantive limitations on certain types of fees. Prop 218’s “majority protest” process is a significant legal and informational element to the rate-setting process for fees related to various utility services that are mandated for a real property parcel. This process adheres to the following steps:
• Schedule a public hearing, which public hearing requires 45 days’ of mailed public noticing to adopt the rate adjustments. See proposed 45-day Public Notice in Attachment 3, with the proposed maximum rate schedules. • Mail the Public Notice describing the proposed rate adjustments to all property owners and occupants subject to the rate adjustments (Attachment 3). • During the 45-day period following the Public Notice, the City will accept any eligible written protests from property owners and occupants subject to the rate adjustments (protests can be received until the end of the public hearing). • Only one rate protest per property will be counted. For example, if the property owner and their tenant file a protest, only one will be counted for that property. • After the public hearing, and assuming a majority of protests (50% plus one) is not received, conduct a vote of the City Council to adopt the rate adjustments. • The rate adjustments currently proposed will become effective on January 1, 2024 after the public hearing.

Further details about the procedural requirements for this majority protest process are outlined in the proposed Public Notice in Attachment 3.

It is recommended to approve mailing the Public Notice, in a form substantially similar to that in Attachment 3 and to be finalized by the City Attorney, to San Dimas property owners and occupants subject to WM’s proposed rate adjustment. Staff proposes to set the Public Hearing on the majority protest for November 14, 2023.

Prop 218’s substantive requirements include (i) a prohibition on fees to fund general governmental services—i.e. a property-related fee must be for a specific service provided (in this case, issues related to the impacts of solid waste services), (ii) a requirement that fees be “proportional” as between different ratepayer categories—i.e., one category of rates should not be subsidizing another, and (iii) the amount of the fees must not exceed the cost of providing the service. (Cal. Const., Art. XIII D § 6.)

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The requested rate increase calculation for the Service Component and Disposal Component is outlined in Attachment 2.

To validate both the residential and commercial rate adjustments proposed, the City contracted HF&H to conduct an analysis of the contractual compliance of the calculations, the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and a comparison to industry benchmarks and other similar

Authorization of the Proposition 218 Process for Proposed 2024 Solid Waste Rates Page 4 For the Meeting of September 12, 2023
jurisdictions. HF&H concluded the calculations were conducted in accordance with the Agreement and were mathematically accurate. In addition, HF&H and staff research indicates the rate proposal has been negotiated to be reflective of WM’s costs of providing their service and proportional as between different ratepayer categories as required by Prop 218.

Residential and Commercial Rates
The total cost impact to residential and commercial rates includes:

1. The Service Component which is adjusted by Consumer Price Index (CPI); and

2. The Disposal Component based on landfill and disposal costs (including organics compliance).

The tables for all residential rates and commercial rates are attached to the Public Notice in Attachment 3. The overall proposed rate increase commencing January 1, 2024 is 4.70%.

Proposed Five-Year Rate Adjustment Method
Prop 218 allows for annual inflationary increases without requiring the full mailing, notification and majority protest process. While a public hearing is required to set the rates, a maximum annual inflationary schedule can be applied to the rates without triggering the full Prop 218 process.

Council can adopt a maximum rate formula for such annual adjustments pursuant to Section 53756 of the Government Code—however, such applied schedule cannot be applied for a period exceeding five (5) years (i.e., January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2029). After the five-year period, any further rate adjustment must go through the full Prop 218 process. Further, should any overall increase in any year exceed 5%, a further public hearing and Proposition 218 notice and protest process will be held before the City Council.

To meet all these requirements, in addition to the proposed rate increase for 2024, the Council is being asked to consider authorizing a maximum annual adjustment over a five-year period that shall not exceed 5%. Furthermore, Waste Management will continue to provide notice of the annual rate adjustment to all solid waste customers at least 30 days prior to the effective date of January 1 each year.

Should the Council choose to accept the five-year “automatic” adjustment methodology, the City will save $60,000 by avoiding having to do a Prop 218 mailing for subsequent years 2 through 5.

If approved, for public transparency purposes, staff will continue to bring the annual rate adjustment to the City Council for review each year.

ALTERNATIVES
In addition to the Recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for the City Council’s consideration:

1. Request additional information from staff prior to mailing Public Notice of the new proposed rates and five-year rate adjustment formula. This would notably impact the City’s ability to meet Proposition 218 deadlines in order to make a commencement date of January 1, 2024.

2. Approve the Public Notice mailing of the new proposed rates, but do not approve the five-year rate adjustment formula and require an annual Proposition 218 protest hearing each year.

3. Take other action per City Council direction.

Authorization of the Proposition 218 Process for Proposed 2024 Solid Waste Rates Page 5 For the Meeting of September 12, 2023

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed solid waste rate adjustment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15273(a)(1) on the grounds that CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges that are imposed for certain purposes, such as meeting operating expenses, purchasing supplies and equipment, or funding capital projects that are necessary to maintain services within existing services areas.

Dear Mr. Constantin:

Pursuant to our franchise agreement, Section 22.6, WM has completed the rate adjustment methodology for the 2024 rate year. Based on the calculation, the rate adjustment would be a 4.70% increase to current rates. This adjustment is determined by calculation 75% of the service component and 25% of the disposal component. This year’s service component is

3.75% and the disposal component is .95%.

Additional fees related to the proposed 2024 residential rates include:
• Additional organic cart carts (two or more carts) $14.00 fee/per cart o This fee is being phased in two calendar years—2024 is the second phase (2023:
$7.00 and 2024: $14.00)
Attached for your review is the Schedule of the Rates for 2024 with the supporting calculation data. Should you need additional information or have any questions regarding the rate adjustment, please contact me. We look forward to proudly serving the City of San Dimas.

Sincerely,

SOLID WASTE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL RATES

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN DIMAS

REGARDING THE CITY'S RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL

SOLID WASTE REFUSE COLLECTION CHARGES AND NEW RATES
Dear Business, Resident/Property Owner,
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council (City Council) of the City of San Dimas (City) will hold a public hearing to consider a proposed rate adjustment for the residential and commercial refuse collection services and disposal fees charged to residential and commercial customers for solid waste, recycling, and organics collection and disposal services. Said public hearing will be held at a regular meeting of the San Dimas City Council as follows:

DATE: November 14, 2023
TIME: 7:00 p.m.

PLACE: San Dimas City Hall Council Chamber
245 East Bonita Avenue
San Dimas, CA 91773
If approved by the City Council, the proposed initial rate adjustments will go into effect on January 1, 2024.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHARGES
A. Background: The City Council has previously determined the collection and disposal of refuse in the City is a service to be performed by a private company, under an exclusive franchise agreement. The exclusive franchise agreement with USA Waste of California, Inc. Waste Management was approved by the City Council on October 31, 2017, as thereafter amended (the “Franchise Agreement”). The maximum rates for solid waste collection services for calendar year 2024, to be approved at the public hearing on November 14, 2023, include charges for weekly residential service based on the size of cart requested, commercial service based on size of containers and frequency of service, as well as special charges for specific services including bin rental and other ancillary services.

B. Basis upon which the charges were calculated: Refuse service rates were negotiated between the City and Waste Management for solid waste collection services as part of the Franchise Agreement, which includes the maximum amount that may be charged to ratepayers for refuse services and procedures for such rates. The rates compensate Waste Management for the costs of providing refuse collection and recycling services, including all labor, equipment, material, supplies, supervision and all other items necessary to perform the work and provide the services described in the Franchise Agreement.

The proposed maximum rates included in Exhibit “A” hereto are the actual rates that may be charged to customers beginning January 1, 2024, unless there is a 50% plus one protest against such proposed rates. The rates are based upon two components: the “Service Component” and the “Disposal Component”. Each is defined as follows:

2 1) The “Service Component” which consists of Waste Management’s operational costs to provide service (e.g. trucks, fuel, facilities, labor, etc., and is adjusted by Consumer Price Index (CPI);
2) The “Disposal Component,” which is based on landfill and disposal costs (including organics compliance under new State laws);
The Service Component comprises 75% of the overall rates. The Service Component is adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index for All Items in (CUURS49ASA0, CUUSS49ASA0), Los Angeles – Long Beach – Anaheim, CA, not seasonally adjusted, as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“CPI”). The CPI used is the average of changes in CPI between each month from August of the previous year (e.g., 2022) to July of the current year (e.g., 2023), and each such annual period thereafter.

However, the Franchise Agreement further reads that the annual Service Component shall not exceed a 5% CPI increase for any given annual period, nor decrease below 0%. Any excess above the 5% cap shall be rolled over and applied to subsequent annual maximum adjustments upon the Service Component until fully utilized.

The Disposal Component is 25% of the overall rates. The Disposal Component is adjusted annually by the percentage change of disposal or tipping fees. This percentage is based on the percentage of City-generated materials disposed of by Waste Management at each disposal facility or landfill used, and thus such percentage may fluctuate annually.

Under Article XIIID of the California Constitution (Proposition 218), the annual Service Component adjustments (CPI) and Disposal Component adjustments (percentage change in disposal costs) described above are only authorized for a maximum period of five (5) years, commencing January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2029, unless a further public hearing and Proposition 218 notice and protest process is held before the City Council.

Further, should any overall increase in any year exceed 5%, a further public hearing and Proposition 218 notice and protest process will be held before the City Council.

Reason for the charges. The maximum rates for solid waste collection and recycling services are for the operation and administration of the refuse disposal and recycling programs to be implemented by Waste Management in accordance with the Franchise Agreement and developments in State law, as well as to cover certain governmental and franchise fees, and disposal charges incurred by Waste Management. The primary reasons for the proposed new rate structure pertain to regular inflationary cost increases and changes. As described above, annual rate adjustments over a five-year period are primarily designed to offset Waste Management’s regular costs of inflation each year.

3 ABILITY TO PROTEST
Owners and occupants of real property subject to the Waste Management rate structure in the City of San Dimas who wish to protest the proposed new rates can submit a written protest to the City Clerk at the address below and/or attend the public hearing on the proposal to register their written protest at the hearing. Only one written protest per residential or commercial parcel in the City's service area (i.e. address/assessor parcel number) will be counted. Written protests must be actually received by the City Clerk, whether by mail or in-person delivery, prior to or during the public hearing on November 14, 2023. Any written protests received following the close of the public hearing will not be counted.

All written protests must, at a minimum, include the following information to be counted:
(a) address or assessor parcel numbers of property subject to the new rates, (b) printed name and signature of the protester and whether the protester is a property owner or service account holder, and (c) a clear statement protesting the rates proposed in this Notice. Written protests by electronic mail (email) or fax will not be accepted.

The protest hearing is being conducted in accordance with Proposition 218. The City Council will not implement the new rates and fees if the City receives a majority (50% plus one) of written protests against the proposed rates and fees from applicable parcels in the City's service area.

Persons wishing to protest must submit (in-person or by mail) their protest to the City of San Dimas, Attention City Clerk at 245 E. Bonita Ave., San Dimas, CA, 91773.

Any additional information on the proposed fee structure may be obtained by contacting Lauren Marshall, Senior Management Analyst at (909) 394-6242 or [email protected].

Additional information and a copy of this Notice is also available on the City of San Dimas website at https://www.sandimasca.gov/ .

If you challenge this proposal in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this Public Hearing Notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City Clerk at, or prior to, the Public Hearing.
