POLICY COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 24, 2023
TO: Policy Committee/City Manager
FROM: Maria Fierner, Public Works Director
By: Chris Weeks, Transportation Division Manager
SUBJECT: Dissolution of the Transportation Demand Management Advisory Committee

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Advisory Committee is comprised of five Committee members and two Alternate members who are all representatives from the San Ramon business community. The purpose of the TDM Advisory Committee is to provide input on the provision and delivery of TDM Programs, activities, and services.

The City is required, as a condition of receiving Measure J Return to Source Local Street Maintenance and Improvement Funds, to implement TDM Programs to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality. The TDM Advisory Committee was one of the ways this was accomplished. Unfortunately, due to the impacts of COVID-19 on commute patterns and the institution of work-from-home mandates, it has been difficult to maintain and recruit new members. Staff is recommending the dissolution of the TDM Advisory Committee, with various responsibilities taken on by the City’s Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) and/or the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the Policy Committee review staff’s recommendation to dissolve the Transportation Demand Management Advisory Committee and provide feedback.

BACKGROUND
The City Council established the Transportation Demand Management Advisory Committee in January 1988. The TDM Advisory Committee members are appointed by the City Council and serve two-year terms. The last meeting was held on November 18, 2021. The last quorum was at the September 20, 2021 meeting. The Committee met bi-monthly with meetings held on the third Monday of the month.

5.1 Packet Pg. 4
AGENDA #5.1
The TDM Advisory Committee’s responsibilities include the following:
 Makes recommendations to the staff and City Council on the delivery of TDM Programs, activities, services, and policies.
 Coordinates and monitors the implementation of Citywide TDM efforts in order to achieve reductions in employment-related, single-occupant vehicle traffic.  Recommends improvements in City services and facilities to assist employers in reducing single-occupant vehicle trips to the City Council.
 Implements commute alternative programs.
 Coordinates TDM efforts with all employers and complexes within the City.  Coordinates TDM efforts with local and regional agencies as designated by the City.  Serves as a liaison between the City and business community.  Coordinates TDM efforts by hosting on site transportation commuter events at worksites to help promote commute alternatives to employees and/or tenants.

The terms for three Committee members expired in January 2020. Notices were sent to the Committee members for renewal. The vacancy notice was also posted to the City’s website. The City Clerk’s office received five applications.

On January 15, 2020, staff received an email from one applicant requesting to withdraw their application due to pending retirement. On January 21, 2020, the Planning Commission Ad Hoc Committee (PC Ad Hoc Committee) interviewed the remaining four applicants.

The PC Ad Hoc Committee recommended appointing three applicants to the TDM Advisory Committee for two-year terms to run through January 31, 2022, and one applicant as the Committee’s Alternate member. The Alternate member must attend a minimum of one meeting per quarter. Alternate members receive all meeting packets, and in the absence of a Committee member, the Alternate member can vote on an item. The alternate member’s term would also be a two-year term to run through January 31, 2022. On February 4, 2020, the Planning Commission approved the PC AD Hoc Committee recommendations to the TDM Advisory Committee. Shortly after, one appointed Committee member resigned due to the proposed Marketplace redevelopment and relocated their business to Danville.

DISCUSSION
COVID-19 Impacts
In January 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic began its spread across the world. By March 2020, the first Shelter-in-Place Orders were instituted in California. Most large businesses downsized to weather the economic downturn, and many relocated or closed their doors. The City lost businesses with deep roots in the community. By 2022, two members resigned from the Committee for various reasons. The TDM Committee was placed on a temporary hiatus while the City adjusted to how COVID-19 changed the way we all work and commute.

Much has changed about the way employees work as a result of the flexibility that was required for businesses to operate during the pandemic. On the positive side, many employers allow

5.1 Packet Pg. 5
AGENDA #5.1
employees to work from home, when possible. Hours have become more flexible, and as a result, there is less congestion at peak commute times. On the negative side, employees are more reluctant to participate in shared commute modes such as carpooling, vanpooling, and transit where they are in close proximity to others. The new flexible schedules and work-from-home paradigm has reduced congestion and the pain of driving alone. These developments have reduced participation in shared commute modes to new lows. Transit agencies are struggling to provide service again after cutting services drastically during the pandemic and riders are slow to return.

This new reality calls for new strategies that will need to be developed in partnership with the business community using grant funding to provide new alternatives for popular walking and biking improvements, while also helping employers meet the demands of their employees for affordable and attractive commute alternatives. Making San Ramon an ideal community for businesses to locate while also keeping it a great place to live for all is the new challenge. By dissolving the TDM Advisory Committee and partitioning its duties between the EDAC and TAC Committees, staff can better address these new realities.

Economic Development Advisory Committee and the Transportation Advisory Committee With the proposed dissolution of the TDM Advisory Committee, responsibilities could be taken on by the Economic Development Advisory Committee and/or the Transportation Advisory Committee, depending on the topic.

The purpose of EDAC is to advise the City regarding policies that will accomplish goals and objectives specified in the City's General Plan including the Economic Element and the Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP).

EDAC could assist in these areas of the TDM Program:
 Serve as liaison between the City and business community.  Coordinate TDM efforts by hosting on site transportation commuter events at worksites to help promote commute alternatives to employees and/or tenants.  Coordinate TDM efforts with all employers and complexes in the City.  Recommend to City Council improvements in City services and facilities to assist employers in reducing single-occupant vehicle trips.
 Coordinate and monitor the implementation of Citywide TDM efforts in order to achieve reductions in employment-related, single-occupant vehicle traffic.  Make recommendations to staff and City Council on the delivery of TDM Programs, activities, services, and policies.

The purpose of TAC is to provide ongoing input to the City of San Ramon on the provisions and delivery of transportation issues affecting the City of San Ramon.

TAC could assist in these areas of the TDM Program:
 Coordinate TDM efforts with local and regional agencies as designated by the City.  Implement commute alternative programs.

5.1 Packet Pg. 6
AGENDA #5.1
 Make recommendations to staff and City Council on the delivery of TDM Programs, activities, services, and policies.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact to the City to dissolve the TDM Advisory Committee.

NEXT STEPS
If recommended by the Policy Committee, dissolution of the TDM Advisory Committee will be brought forward to the City Council at a future Council meeting.

POLICY COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 24, 2023
TO: Policy Committee/City Manager
FROM: Debbie Chamberlain, Community Development Director By: Vance Phillips, Chief Building Official
SUBJECT: Ratification of San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 2022-37 Pertaining to Building Standards for Application Within the Jurisdictional Boundaries Of the City of San Ramon

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council Policy Committee receive the staff report, consider information and direct staff to proceed with the proposed San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District’s 2022 California Fire Code ratification for City Council Consideration.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District (SRVFPD) adopted Ordinance 2022-37 referencing the 2022 California Fire Code with local amendments. Fire District Ordinance 2022- 37 references the 2022 California Fire Code and proposes local modifications to the fire and panic safety provisions of the Fire Code. These local modifications are more stringent than the building standards adopted by the State Fire Marshal and contained in the California Building Standards Code. Included in the SRVPD’s proposed ordinance are additional permitting requirements, site access and fire road requirements, hazard fuel abatement for wildland fire areas, definitions, and additional fire sprinkler provisions for commercial and residential occupancies.

Every three years the International Code Council (ICC) publishes updated Model Building Codes. The State of California adopted the building standards contained in the International Fire Code (IFC),) along with amendments which result in the publication of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 24, Part 9 the California Fire Code.

On January 1, 2023, the 2022 California Code of Regulations, Title 24, also known as the California Building Standards Code became the codes that regulate construction in California. In October 2022 Building and Safety Services Division staff reviewed Ordinance 2022-37 and the proposed local modifications and found them to be consistent with the previous Fire Code local amendments and did not have comments or concerns related to the proposed Ordinance or amendments.

Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 13869.7(c), the City may ratify, modify

5.2 Packet Pg. 8
AGENDA #5.2
or deny any adopted ordinance related to local amendments of the Fire Code from the fire district. No ordinance with local Fire Code amendments adopted by the fire district shall become effective until ratification by the City.

Contra Costa County ratified Fire District Ordinance 2022-37 and the Town of Danville ratified all but the commercial fire sprinkler provisions of Fire District Ordinance 2022-37.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The proposed revision will not have a fiscal impact on the operations of the City; however, there will be an increase in construction cost for the requirement for the additional fire sprinkler provisions some commercial buildings.

STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Direct staff to proceed with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District’s proposed 2022 California Fire Code ratification for City Council Consideration.
