COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: October 25, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Water Resources Division, Public Works Department SUBJECT: Five-Year Agreement with the United States Geological Survey for Surface Water and Groundwater Monitoring [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Authorize the Public Works Director to execute a five-year joint funding agreement with the United States Geological Survey for water resources monitoring and investigations related to surface water and groundwater measurements for the period of October 01, 2022, through September 30, 2027, with a City of Santa Barbara cost share not to exceed $1,112,550; and
B. Authorize the Public Works Director to execute amendments to the agreement to respond to changes in water supply conditions and to approve expenditures up to $100,000 for unforeseen monitoring services that may be required.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Santa Barbara (City) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have worked cooperatively on water resources monitoring and investigations for over 25 years.
This includes an annual program measuring surface water flows and monitoring groundwater levels and water quality. In the past, this program was contracted on an annual basis; this proposed agreement is for a five-year period ending in September 2027. As in the past, the proposed program (see Attachment) has two elements:
Surface Water Gauging Stations: USGS will continue to operate, maintain, and publish streamflow records for four gauging and data collection stations on the Santa Ynez River, and one on Mission Creek. These stations provide real-time data and daily averages. The information is used to implement the Upper Santa Ynez River Operations Agreement, document, and monitor operations at Gibraltar Reservoir, and provide data for the City’s groundwater model. Groundwater Monitoring: USGS personnel will take monthly water level measurements from 45 monitoring well locations and quarterly water quality measurements from 11 monitoring well locations, per Attachment 1 of the agreement. The well locations are on the USGS website:
Agenda Item No. 9
File Code No. 540.11
Council Agenda Report
Five-Year Agreement with the United States Geological Survey for Surface Water and Groundwater Monitoring [Agreement]
October 25, 2022
http://maps.waterdata.usgs.gov/mapper/index.html. USGS will continue collecting and maintaining the database of water level data and groundwater quality data.
The City uses the water level and water quality information for modeling groundwater supplies and to monitor the potential impact of seawater intrusion in the Santa Barbara groundwater basin, located downtown. The water level data is also used to meet the requirements of the City’s state-mandated California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring program.
The City uses groundwater conjunctively, meaning it pumps groundwater during periods of drought when surface water supplies are reduced. The City relied on its groundwater supplies significantly in 2015 and 2016 in response to persistent drought conditions. After some rainfall in 2017, the City was able to turn off its wells and rest the groundwater basins for several years. In response to recent dry conditions, the City is once again pumping groundwater to augment supplies this summer. Should the region experience significant rainfall during the agreement time period and the City is able to once again turn off its groundwater wells, staff is asking Council for authority for the Public Works Director to amend the agreement to reduce the frequency of the groundwater monitoring program from monthly to quarterly as a cost-saving measure. The data collected through this program is an important part of managing the City’s water supply.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The overall program cost is $1,369,500, to be shared by the City ($1,112,550) and USGS ($256,950), per USGS’s Cooperative Work Program. The table below shows the breakdown of annual costs per the agreement:

Total $265,000 $268,020 $273,390 $278,790 $284,300 $1,369,500 Authorization for extra services up to $20,000 per year ($100,000 total agreement amount) is requested for potential additional scope from USGS, such as expanded monitoring for seawater intrusion, if necessary.
There are sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Water Operating Fund Budget to fund Year 1 of the agreement, and extra services with USGS for water resources monitoring and investigations related to surface water and groundwater measurements. Staff plans to include expenditure appropriations for the agreement and extra services costs for each subsequent year in the proposed Water Operating Fund Budget during the annual budget process.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: October 25, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Administration Division, Finance Department
SUBJECT: Legal Services with Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe, LLP for Bond and Disclosure Counsel for Financing of City Infrastructure [Agreement] RECOMMENDATION:
That Council authorize the Finance Director to approve and execute a legal services agreement with Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe, LLP., to provide bond counsel, disclosure counsel, and related services related to the financing of City infrastructure and other obligations in Fiscal Year 2023, 2024, and 2025 for an amount not to exceed $387,500.
DISCUSSION:
The City has been able to secure debt financing in order to secure adequate funding for the delivery and construction of many critical capital improvement projects in recent years.
The City has engaged with a variety of legal advisors as part of the financing team when undertaking the issuance of municipal bonds.
Bond Counsel is an important member of the City’s debt issuance team and provides a legal option that the City is authorized to issue any proposed municipal bond and has met all legal and procedural requirements necessary for issuance. Bond Counsel analyzes the legality of a proposed project and security structure, as well as drafting required documents, such as bond indentures, resolutions, ordinances, tax certificates, and public notices. Bond and Disclosure Counsel also handles disclosure-related items, such as the official statement, continuing disclosure agreements, notices of sale or intention to sell, among other items.
The City is seeking to retain Bond and Disclosure Counsel services from Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe, LLP to provide services related to anticipated debt issuances during Fiscal Year 2023, 2024, and 2025. These issuances include the new Police Station Facility and may also include water, wastewater, and solid waste projects, along with other potential projects. The scope of services also includes services related to a Pension Obligation Bond, if the City chooses to consider issuing one. And finally, the scope Agenda Item No. 10
File Code No. 210.01
Council Agenda Report
Legal Services with Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe, LLP for Bond and Disclosure Counsel for Financing of City Infrastructure [Agreement] October 25, 2022
includes advisory services for the development of a pension management policy, as directed by the Finance Committee on December 7, 2021.
The City has retained Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe, LLP in prior years to advise on debt issuances, and staff have been satisfied with the level and quality of services provided.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The table below summarizes the costs of Bond and Disclosure Counsel for the specific services anticipated within the next three fiscal years.
Bond Counsel Disclosure
Counsel^ Total Cost
General Fund Obligations $70,000 $45,000 $115,000
Enterprise Obligations 75,000 50,000 125,000

Pension Obligation Bonds 60,000 60,000 120,000
Pension Policy 2,500 0 2,500
Total $232,500 $155,000 $387,500
^ Includes Validation Counsel services
Bond and Disclosure Counsel services are planned to be paid from the proceeds of the bond issuances. The Finance Department’s Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget includes adequate expenditure appropriations to cover the $2,500 fees for the pension policy services.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: October 25, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Information Technology Department
SUBJECT: Agreement with Arctic Wolf Networks, Inc. for Security Operations Center-as-a-Service and Managed Detection and Response Solution [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council authorize the Information Technology Director to execute a Master Customer Agreement contract with Arctic Wolf Networks, Inc. in the amount of $125,276 for a Security Operations Center-as-a-Service (SOC-aaS) and a managed detection and response solution to include licensing, hardware, maintenance, support, and implementation services, and authorize the Information Technology Director to approve expenditures of up to $713 for extra services that may result from necessary changes in the scope of work.
DISCUSSION:
The Network Infrastructure team manages the City’s cybersecurity and has created a multi-layered approach in which each security layer interconnects to strengthen the City’s security posture. Currently, we utilize a combination of physical security in the form of access control; network security via our firewalls and sensors; endpoint security managed by our Anti-Virus software; application security achieved through policies of least privilege and a complementary set of tools; and data security through a combination of application tools and end-user training. Further, the network team regularly updates, patches, and replaces server and network gear per patching schedules and hardware lifecycles. This multi-layered approach is an industry standard and best practice to keep an organization passively secure. If a security incident occurs, the network team can only take a retroactive/forensic approach to remediation and root cause analysis.
A Security Operations Center: As a Service (SOC-aaS) is a turn-key solution that will further bolster our security approach by adding better coverage of our environment through a more robust toolset, even replacing some of our older tools. The service also provides two dedicated security professionals for our team to leverage for assistance.
Perhaps most importantly, this service offers a team of security analysts who have “eyes Agenda Item No. 11
File Code No. 170.04
on glass”; reviewing security logs and our environment 24/7/365 to catch suspicious activity better as it occurs. This shift allows the City to much more actively defend against threats than our current security posture allows. Adding a SOC-aaS as a layer into our security approach is the next most cost-effective step to reducing City-wide cybersecurity risks.
In 2019, the City of Santa Barbara began working toward the selection of a SOC-aaS.
This included a process discovery, needs analysis, and vetting of proposed vendor solutions. The infrastructure team reviewed over 15 solutions before determining Arctic Wolf to be a good fit to bolster the City’s cyber security.
In 2020, the project was halted due to COVID reductions and efforts to not increase Information Technology.(IT). spending in the organization.
In April 2021, IT started reviewing options to resume the SOC-aaS project, as IT planned to request funding for the initiative in the Fiscal Year 2023 budget. IT reviewed the requirements, and vendor-proposed solutions and again it was determined that Arctic Wolf Networks, Inc. provided all required functionality for the City.
To satisfy competitive bidding requirements, we are utilizing a piggyback contract from the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO). NASPO contracts utilize competitive processes substantially similar to the City.
The expected go-live for the Security Operations Center-as-a-service is Spring 2023.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The total cost for the proposed one-year agreement is $125,276, which includes one-time implementation costs of $7,133. The increase in cost from initial quotes is largely due to the City’s move to Microsoft 365, growth in our network infrastructure and the need to better secure the City’s cloud assets.
There are sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Adopted Information Technology Operating Fund and Information Technology Capital Fund Budgets in the Fiscal Year 2023 to fund the implementation, licensing, maintenance, and support. Costs in Fiscal Year 2024 and beyond will be included in future proposed Information Technology Operating Fund budgets.
The annual licensing costs for licensing, maintenance, support, and implementation are as follows:
Item FY2023 Payment Terms
SOC / 1 Year Managed Detection &
Response
$117,576.00 Planned
One-Time Implementation $7,133.00 Planned
Taxable Services $567 Planned
1-year Agreement Total $125,276.00 (w/ Tax) Planned

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: October 25, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Treasury Division, Finance Department
SUBJECT: September 30, 2022, Investment Report and September 30, 2022, Fiscal Agent Report
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Accept the September 30, 2022, Investment Report; and B. Accept the September 30, 2022, Fiscal Agent Report.
DISCUSSION:
On a quarterly basis, staff
submits a comprehensive
report on the City’s portfolio
and related activity pursuant to
the City’s Annual Statement of
Investment Policy. The current
report covers investment
activity for the three-month
period of July 2022 through
September 2022.
By the end of the quarter,
Treasury yields were higher
across the yield curve, as
shown in the table above, with increases ranging between +65 and +161 basis points (“bps”).
The City generally invests in securities of one to five years in duration. Within this duration, interest rates ranged from 4.05 percent to 4.25 percent for Treasury securities at the end of the quarter. On July 27 and September 21, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised the federal funds rate, which in turn influences Treasury yields, bringing it to a range of 3.00 percent to
3.25 percent. Additionally, the Fed increased the Quantitative Tightening, a process whereby it reduces the liquidity in the bond markets, thus withdrawing the ample monetary Agenda Item No. 12
File Code No. 260.02
Council Agenda Report
September 30, 2022, Investment Report and September 30, 2022, Fiscal Agent Report October 25, 2022
accommodation introduced during the pandemic. As a reaction to the Fed signaling its resolve to counter the current high inflation, interest rate across the yield curve have moved sharply higher. In the current interest rate environment, the City interest earnings are forecast to gradually inch higher.
Investment Activity
As shown in the Investment Activity table above, during the quarter the City invested $18 Million in AAA-rated federal agency securities and $3 Million in AAA-rated supranational obligations. The overall redemptions amounted to $4 Million.
Summary of Cash and Investments
The book rate of return, or portfolio yield, measures the rate of return of actual earnings generated from the portfolio. As shown in the table to the right, during the quarter the City’s book rate of return increased by 35 basis points, from 1.104 percent at June 30, 2022 to 1.450 percent at September 30, 2022.
In the first quarter of the current fiscal year the City’s realized interest earnings amounted to $939,335. The portfolio’s average days to maturity increased by 36 days from 639 to 675 days, reflecting reinvestment of maturities and calls during the quarter in the one-to-five year range in accordance with the City’s Annual Statement of Investment Policy. The Annual Statement of Investment Policy requires that the average days to maturity on the portfolio not exceed 2.5 years, excluding any investments with a final maturity longer than five years that were separately authorized by Council. The average LAIF rate at which the City earned interest for funds invested was at 1.35 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 60 basis point from the previous quarter. The City’s LAIF holdings at the end of the quarter were $55 Million.
Council Agenda Report
September 30, 2022, Investment Report and September 30, 2022, Fiscal Agent Report October 25, 2022
Credit Quality on Corporate Notes
There were no changes to the credit profiles of the corporate issuers of the medium-term notes held in the portfolio (i.e., Apple Inc., Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Microsoft Inc., Toyota Motor Co.). For the quarter ending September 30, the ratings of all corporate notes remained within the City’s Investment Policy guidelines of “A” or better.
Portfolio Market Gains/Losses
As shown in the Investment Yields chart below, the City’s portfolio yield settled slightly below the LAIF rate this quarter, and below the 90-day Treasury bill and the 2-year Treasury Note.
These benchmarks serve as indicators of the City’s performance. Trends over time that substantially deviate from these benchmarks would warrant further analysis and review.
Council Agenda Report
September 30, 2022, Investment Report and September 30, 2022, Fiscal Agent Report October 25, 2022
On a quarterly basis, staff reports the five securities with the largest percentage of unrealized losses.
On a quarterly basis, staff also reports the five securities with the largest market declines of greater than one percent compared to the prior month’s market value.
The Fed’s removal of monetary accommodation to tame the current high inflation has prompted a sharp downside repricing across bond markets. However, because securities in the City’s portfolio are held to maturity, no market losses are expected to be realized.
Additional Reporting Requirements
The following confirmations are made pursuant to California Code Sections 53600, et seq.:
(1) the City’s portfolio as of September 30, 2022, is in compliance with the City’s Statement of Investment Policy; and (2) there are sufficient funds available to meet the City’s expenditure requirements for the next six months.
Fiscal Agent Investments
In addition to reporting requirements for public agency portfolios, a description of any of the agency’s investments under the management of contracted parties is also required on a quarterly basis. Attachment #2 includes bond funds as of September 30, 2022.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: October 25, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Planning Division, Community Development Department SUBJECT: Single Family Design Board Membership Criteria and Quorum Requirements [Ordinance Introduction]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
A. Introduce and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section 22.69.010 to Revise the Membership of the Single Family Design Board; and B. Receive an update from staff regarding the Single Family Design Board process improvement work effort being considered by the Land Development Team Oversight Subcommittee to streamline project design review.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Given ongoing challenges to recruit new Single Family Design Board (SFDB) members and maintain a quorum for their biweekly full board meetings, staff is requesting to amend the SFDB membership to be comprised of five members (instead of seven members), to establish that three members would constitute a quorum (instead of four members), and that attendance by a member with professional qualifications in architecture is unnecessary to achieve quorum. For membership qualifications, staff is proposing that the board be comprised of at least one architect, up to three professionals with similar qualifications, and up to three members of the public without professional qualifications. Further, we are proposing to add urban planning as a category in professional qualifications based on Ordinance Committee input. With these changes, staff hopes to address the immediate concern of holding regularly scheduled SFDB hearings while providing the City Council ultimate flexibility when appointing SFDB board members.
DISCUSSION:
The Single Family Design Board (SFDB) was established by City Council in 2007 as the result of a multi-year effort to update the City’s Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance, Agenda Item No. 13
File Code No. 640.03
Council Agenda Report

which expanded the type and number of single-unit residence projects subject to discretionary design review. Prior to 2007, single-unit residential development projects requiring design review were under the purview of the Architectural Board of Review (ABR). The expanded discretionary review of single unit residential projects necessitated a separate advisory body to handle the workload and focus on issues and design features of residential development.
The City of Santa Barbara often has challenges recruiting and retaining members of the City’s four design review bodies (SFDB, ABR, Historic Landmarks Commission, and Sign Committee). Whereas the membership criteria and quorum requirements of the ABR and Historic Landmarks Commission are established by City Charter, the SFDB membership is established by Municipal Code and can be amended by a majority vote of the City Council. Staff recommends revising the membership criteria of the SFDB to address persistent recruitment and retention issues and challenges achieving a quorum in order to hold scheduled public meetings and minimize unnecessary delay of single-unit residential development projects.
Current Membership Requirements
Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 22.69.010.B. states that the SFDB “shall be composed of seven members appointed by the City Council” including:
Two members shall be licensed architects;
One member shall be a licensed landscape architect;
Three members shall possess professional qualifications in fields related to architecture, including, but not limited to, building design, structural engineering, industrial design, or landscape contracting; and
One member shall be appointed from the public at large.
SBMC Section 22.69.010.C. establishes a quorum of the SFDB as four members, one of whom shall be a licensed architect.
The SFDB is currently down to five appointed members due to consistently low turnout in applications and resignation of members outside of the regular advisory group recruitment cycle. To remedy past recruitment challenges, staff have occasionally requested existing SFDB members to voluntarily serve beyond their appointed term until the next advisory group recruitment process concludes and new members are appointed by Council. In recent recruitment cycles, existing and potential members expressed to staff that the county-wide demand for professionals to serve on numerous design review boards leaves few licensed architects, landscape architects, and other design professionals available to serve on the City’s boards.
In accordance with the current membership configuration, if SFDB begins a meeting with the minimum to achieve quorum and a member needs to recuse herself or himself from an agenda item, quorum is lost and the project must be continued two weeks. This occurred as recently as August 15, 2022. Subsequently, the August 29 SFDB meeting was cancelled in its entirety due to an unexpected illness of one member and the planned Council Agenda Report

absence of another. The requirement that one licensed architect must be present to constitute a quorum exacerbates the challenge to achieving quorum and holding scheduled meetings. Staff schedule special and additional SFDB meetings when needed to address the backlog of SFDB projects and cancelled meetings, but this response is not sustainable long term.
Land Development Team Oversight Subcommittee Recommendations On August 18, 2022, the Land Development Team Oversight Subcommittee (LDTO) expressed support for fast-tracking amendments the composition of the SFDB and reducing the number of members in order to address the recruitment challenges.
Updated Membership Proposal
The Ordinance Committee met on October 4, 2022, and discussed the implications of reconfiguring the SFDB’s membership before requesting a continuance of the matter to their next meeting. On October 11, the Ordinance Committee deliberated on the matter, and amended staff’s original proposal to have five members on the board with three members constituting a quorum, but no requirement that quorum shall have a particular professional licensure. Staff’s proposal did not originally include a licensed architect as part of the SFDB membership due to recruitment challenges, but the Ordinance Committee determined the position was a critical component to the board. They decided that the membership include the requirement for one licensed architect, up to three professionals with similar qualifications, and up to three members of the public in order to maximize Council’s flexibility when appointing members. This could mean that there could be up to three members of the public without professional qualifications serving on the board, or no such members serving on the board, depending on Council’s determination.
In addition, the Ordinance Committee requested that the field of urban planning be added as a professional category for board membership.
On a related note, the Ordinance Committee directed staff to review off-cycle recruitments with the City Clerk’s Office to recruit new design review board members throughout the year as needed.
Future and Related SFDB Work Effort
Planning Division staff are currently engaged in a larger work effort to review the types of single-unit residential projects that currently require SFDB review, with an objective to streamline the permitting process where possible and ensure that discretionary review is adding value to the project and the community. That effort is just beginning and is expected to take about eight to ten months to complete. The need to adjust the SFDB membership criteria and quorum requirements is more immediate and, therefore, being addressed ahead of other future SFDB-related code amendments.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
Reducing the SFDB from seven members to five will result in a slight reduction in direct expenses by decreasing the stipends paid to each member ($50) for a full board meeting.
The change will also likely result in fewer cancellations of SFDB meetings due to a lack of quorum, saving staff time required to contact applicants about rescheduling projects and inform interested parties about the cancelled meeting. Moreover, homeowners will likely save money and time as projects are less likely to be postponed to a later hearing date due to a lack of quorum at a scheduled hearing. Time saved during the planning approval process can help alleviate inflation costs and current challenges with backordered building materials and appliances needed for home renovation projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed ordinance amendments revising the composition of the Single Family Design Board do not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and, therefore, do not constitute a “Project” under Public Resources Code Section 15378 (the California Environmental Quality Act); therefore, the Ordinance Committee’s action on this matter is not subject to environmental review.
