Santa Barbara Police Department
SUBJECT: Amending Chapter 18.40 and Repealing Section 2.12.035 of the Municipal Code Pertaining to Airport Police and Enforcement [Ordinance Introduction]
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council introduce and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending Chapter 18.40 and Repealing Section

2.12.035 of the Municipal Code Pertaining to Airport Police and Enforcement.

DISCUSSION:

Background
The Santa Barbara Airport Police serve as the Law Enforcement Division of the Airport Department for the City of Santa Barbara. The Airport Police originally began as a security unit and has evolved into a specialized law enforcement organization in response to emerging threats to civil aviation.

Airport Police Officers are sworn Peace Officers under California Penal Code § 830.33(d) and are required under Federal Aviation Standards to have the power to arrest and provide armed law enforcement services at the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. Pursuant to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1542.215, the Santa Barbara Airport is required to provide uniformed law enforcement personnel in the number and manner necessary to support its Airport Security Program and Federal Transportation Security screening operations. Those Law Enforcement Officers must be available and committed to respond to any incident in support of a civil aviation security program or commercial air carrier program.

On September 30, 2021, Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) was signed into law with most provisions of the Bill taking effect on January 1, 2022. This Bill significantly impacted law enforcement agencies across the state creating a more centralized and regulated state oversight over peace officers as well as increasing the accountability for misconduct under the purview Agenda Item No. 4

of the state agency of the Commission of Peace Officer Standards and Training (“POST”).

Part of those regulations include a requirement that all Peace Officers classified under the California Penal Code hold a current and valid POST “Basic” certificate (graduation from a police academy plus completion of a Field Training Program). In essence, the same legal obligations required by SB2 of officers of the Santa Barbara Police Department are also now required of Santa Barbara Airport Police Officers.

Therefore, because Airport Police’s designation of its officers under the California Penal Code mandates that Airport Police follow all the requirements of SB2, the City determined that best practices dictate that Airport Police become a POST member agency similar to the Santa Barbara Police Department .

Changes to the Ordinance
The proposed Ordinance makes the following changes to internal operations:
 Authorizes Airport Police to be under the Supervision of the Police Chief.  Designates Airport Police Officers as Peace Officers under Section 830.33(d) of the California Penal Code. Previously, such designation was contained in the Treatment and Patrol (TAP) Memorandum of Understanding.  Authorizes Airport Police Officers to carry firearms as a condition of their employment.
 Provides that Airport Police are a member agency of POST and required to adhered to their general standards; therefore, necessitating the strikethrough of Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 2.12.035 since that provides that Airport Police are a participating agency.
 Contains an update of the proper authority (California Penal Code Section 836.5) for non-Airport Police Officers to issue citations. (Ex. Airport traffic aides to issue parking citations).

These changes to the Ordinance allow Airport Police to receive supervision from the Santa Barbara Police Chief. To be clear, this change does not mean Airport Police can operate in other parts of the City (with exceptions to pursuits or exigent circumstances).

The reason for that is that their 830.33 (d) Penal Code designation limits their jurisdiction only to airport grounds/territory.

These changes will also allow the SBPD to provide additional resources to Airport Police that have not occurred in the past. SBPD has had a sergeant at Airport Police assisting them with updating policies and procedures, becoming a POST member agency, and having an approved Field Training Program. A SBPD sergeant will continue to be assigned to Airport Police. Airport Police will now benefit from SBPD training, improved reporting, bodycams, SBPD conducting internal investigations as well as use of force investigations, improved dispatching, POST mandatory reporting, updating certifications, Council Agenda Report
Amending Chapter 18.40 and Repealing Section 2.12.035 of the Municipal Code Pertaining to Airport Police and Enforcement [Ordinance Introduction] November 12, 2024

and an overall better coordination of City resources. This will have a significant positive impact for Airport Police as it will have the administrative support of SBPD.

This Ordinance unanimously passed at the Ordinance Committee meeting on October 29, 2024.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no known fiscal impact associated with the amendments to this Ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under Section 15061(b)(3) of CEQA Guidelines. The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

The Project will improve the resiliency and efficiency of the Pump Station and extend its useful life. The scope of the Project includes the electric motor driver conversion of the pumps, installation of new electrical distribution equipment, installation of an emergency standby diesel generator, concrete repairs to the Pump Station wetwell, repairs to the Laguna Channel grouted channel lining, cleaning of the tidal slide gates, and the fabrication and installation of hinged barriers on the tidal gate weirs.

Contract Bids
A total of two bids were received for the subject work, ranging as follows:

BIDDER BID AMOUNT

1. Cushman Contracting Corporation
Goleta, CA 93116
$5,036,400

2. Filanc Construction Company
Escondido, CA 92029
$5,355,161
The low bid of $5,036,400, submitted by Cushman Contracting Corporation (Cushman), is an acceptable bid that is responsive to and meets the requirements of the bid specifications.

The change order funding recommendation of $503,640, or ten percent, is typical for this type of work and size of project.

Construction Phase Contract Services
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Public Works Director to execute a contract amendment with DCME Inc. (DCME) in the amount of $438,300 for construction management services and authorize $43,830 for potential extra services, for a total expenditure authority of $482,130. DCME is experienced in this type of work and was selected through a competitive Request for Proposals process.

Community Outreach
The new variable speed motors that will drive the existing pumps must be purchased by the contractor and the procurement process is anticipated to take approximately 18 months. This will be followed by approximately 4 months of construction inside the Facility. Construction will not interrupt public beach access. Minimal parking will be impacted at the Palm Park Parking Lot, between the Pump Station and the Skate Park on East Cabrillo Boulevard. Sandwich boards will be used to notify the public, and Project Updates will be published in the City News in Brief.

water main replacement critical to health and safety of our residents. The individual projects listed below were planned and designed as eight separate projects with different funding sources.
 Upper De La Vina Street Gap Closure and Safe Crossings Project  Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Project at De La Vina Street and Los Olivos Street
 HSIP Project at De La Vina Street and Pedregosa Street  HSIP Project at De La Vina Street and Valerio Street
 Intersection Safety Improvement Project at De La Vina Street and Islay Street  De La Vina Water Main Replacement Project
 Milpas Street at U.S. Highway 101 Operational Improvements Project  Moffett Place Crosswalk Project
The Project received three construction bids, with Lash Construction, Inc. being the lowest responsive bidder. A budget adjustment is required to update the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget and an amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) for construction of the work along Milpas Street between Highway 101 and Hutash Street is required. Construction is anticipated to take approximately 15 months.

DISCUSSION:

Background
De La Vina Street is a high priority corridor for collision reduction as part of the Council adopted Vision Zero Strategy for eliminating serious and fatal injuries caused by traffic collisions. De La Vina Street was identified due to the frequency of pedestrian involved collisions. As a corridor, De La Vina Street ranks high for the most bike and pedestrian collisions (combined) in the City. The City has been successful in obtaining grants along this corridor over the past several years, with recent construction of the Downtown De La Vina Street Safe Crosswalks and Buffered Bike Lanes Project, Downtown De La Vina Street Lighting Project, and safety upgrades from standard pavement maintenance projects.

Project Description
This Project includes eight separate projects, including five safety projects (see Attachment for Project Location Map) focused on the upper corridor of De La Vina Street. Safe streets and crossings are critical on Upper De La Vina Street due to its proximity to Cottage Hospital and the numerous related medical support facilities in the area. This area is adjacent to many apartment buildings, Oak Park, transit stops, and Santa Barbara City College’s school of extended learning. Individual project summaries are included below.

Council Agenda Report
Contract for Construction of the Upper De La Vina Street and Milpas Street at U.S. Highway 101 Operational Improvements Project [Resolution; Agreement] November 12, 2024

Page 3 ends

The overall Project includes crosswalk, lighting, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements along De La Vina Street from Alamar Avenue to Padre Street, and Pedregosa to Valerio Streets.

Once this Project is complete, the only remaining intersection improvement on De La Vina Street will be at Vernon Road, which will be addressed as part of the De La Vina Bridge Replacement Project. The De La Vina Bridge Replacement Project is expected to be under construction by spring 2025.

Upper De La Vina Street Gap Closure and Safe Crossings Project This project is located on De La Vina Street from Alamar Avenue to Padre Street, on Padre Street from De La Vina Street to State Street, and the intersection of Alamar Avenue and Junipero Streets. The project improves safety for cyclists and pedestrians by installing curb extensions at six intersections and 210 feet of sidewalk infill to close gaps in the network on Padre Street. The project is primarily funded by the State’s Active Transportation Program (ATP). Portions of the bike lane striping were installed in 2021. The remaining pedestrian enhancements are included in the combined project.

Highway Safety Improvement Program Projects at De La Vina Street at Los Olivos, Pedregosa, and Valerio Streets
These three intersection projects are primarily funded by the Highway Improvement Safety Program (HSIP). Each intersection will include enhanced crosswalk features including curb extensions, signs/markings, and intersection lighting to increase visibility of the crosswalks at night.

De La Vina Street at Islay Streets Project
This intersection project is funded by the Measure C Fund and consists of curb extensions, signs/markings, and intersection lighting to increase visibility of the crosswalks at night.

De La Vina Water Main Replacement Project
As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to coordinate work within the right-of-way and minimize impacts to the community, the water main on De La Vina Street from Constance Avenue to Micheltorena Street will be replaced under this construction contract. The water main was identified by the City for future replacement and was prioritized for replacement with this Project due to the extent of the surface improvements planned for this corridor.

Completing the water main replacement prior to the hardscape improvements and final paving work will ensure the best possible finished product for the community and minimize the risk of future water main breaks that may damage the new hardscape. The water main replacement portion of the Project is funded by the Water Capital Fund.

De La Vina Street Paving and Potential Restriping
Upon completion of the crosswalk, lighting, and water main replacement work on De La Vina Street, the City’s Street Paving Crew will pave De La Vina Street from Alamar Avenue to Micheltorena Street. As with all paving projects on Vision Zero Priority Corridors, City staff will perform a Vision Zero traffic safety assessment that may lead to extending the southbound bike lane from Padre Street to Arrellaga Street to improve safety for all road users. The City is currently evaluating the feasibility of restriping and if feasible, will engage the public and return to Council for direction prior to this paving work.

Milpas Street at U.S. Highway 101 Operational Improvements Project The project is critical to the success and safe operation of the U.S. Highway 101 Widening Project (HOV Project) and will address expected traffic impacts from the HOV Project. The Project will improve traffic operations along Milpas Street between the U.S. Highway 101 southbound on- and off-ramps and will include the following improvements:
 Widening Milpas Street at the northeast corner of the intersection of Milpas and Hutash Streets to provide space for a new dedicated southbound left-turn lane onto eastbound Hutash Street. This will allow U.S. Highway 101 on- and off-ramp traffic to move concurrently when there is no traffic queued in the new left-turn lane;  Traffic signal modifications at the intersection of Milpas and Hutash Streets to optimize signal phasing, improve synchronization with adjacent traffic signals, and reduce wait time;
 Extending the existing median south of the U.S. Highway 101 underpass to the intersection of Milpas and Cacique Streets to prohibit left-turns from southbound Milpas Street onto eastbound Cacique Street. This will help prevent southbound offramp traffic from queueing onto the southbound U.S. Highway 101 mainline and blocking southbound Milpas Street. Eastbound Cacique Street will have access from northbound Milpas Street via the hook off-ramp; and
 Installation of an elevated bike lane along Milpas Street between Cacique and Hutash Streets. This facility was a community-requested safety need to separate cyclists from vehicles due to the high traffic volumes in this area.

On April 13, 2021, Council authorized the City Administrator to enter into a MOU between the City and SBCAG to complete the design, environmental, and right-of-way phases for the Project. Because the phases are complete, City staff is requesting Council authorize the City Administrator to execute an Amendment to the MOU to increase the funding by $1,280,979 for the project’s construction, for a not-to-exceed amount of $1,675,979.

Community engagement for the project has consisted of in-person meetings and a community webinar over the past couple of years with the most recent meetings held in February 2024. The project has also been a topic of various public hearings with Council Council Agenda Report
Contract for Construction of the Upper De La Vina Street and Milpas Street at U.S. Highway 101 Operational Improvements Project [Resolution; Agreement] November 12, 2024

and the SBCAG Board as the project fulfills the required mitigation requirement for the HOV Project.

Moffett Place Crosswalk Project
This project involves installation of an ADA compliant high-visibility crosswalk across Moffett Place connecting two existing bus stops adjacent to the Santa Barbara Airport Terminal. New street lighting and a pedestrian refuge island are also included. Many Airport Terminal staff, passengers, residents, and tourists depend on transit to get to and from the airport. The high-visibility crosswalk and street lighting will provide a safer, more predictable area for pedestrians to cross and make it easier for drivers to detect pedestrians crossing from farther away.

Community Engagement
Community engagement along the De La Vina corridor was primarily through community participation in the City’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Updates and the Vision Zero Strategy effort documenting the community need for safer walking and biking facilities along this collision-prone corridor. The projects were supported by Move Santa Barbara County (formerly the Coalition for Sustainable Transportation and the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition) and local public health officials (County Public Health and Cottage Hospital).

During the construction phase, site-specific community engagement will continue.

Residents and businesses can expect to see sandwich board signs in the right-of-way detailing the project’s scope and contacts. Key updates will be posted on City News in Brief and Nextdoor.com. Prior to construction activity in a particular area, City staff will send a notification to residents and property owners with detailed information about the upcoming work in their neighborhood.

The contractor is required to perform door-to-door outreach with all businesses directly affected by the work a minimum of two weeks prior to the scheduled work. In addition, the contractor is required to deliver door hangers to each property adjacent to the work area 72 hours in advance of work commencement to notify residents of the planned schedule.

The contractor will post “No Parking” signs 72 hours in advance of work commencement.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

The comprehensive goal and vision of the General Plan’s Circulation Element is: “While sustaining or increasing economic vitality and quality of life, Santa Barbara should be a city in which alternative forms of transportation and mobility are so available and attractive that use of an automobile is a choice, not a necessity.” Residents are more encouraged to shift to walking and biking when infrastructure is safe, which this Project addresses.

Shifting to walking and cycling will also improve mental and physical health, and reduce emissions, which is the quickest and most efficient way to decarbonize transport, which is also a Council-approved Climate Action Plan goal. The water main replacement will Council Agenda Report

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: November 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Finance Department
SUBJECT: Approval of Banking Services Agreement [Agreement] RECOMMENDATION:

That Council approve a New Banking Services Agreement with US Bank, at an estimated net cost of $2,000 per month.

DISCUSSION:

Background
On October 30, 2018, after the City had sent out a request for proposals (“RFP”) for banking and trust services, staff recommended staying with Union Bank and executing two amendments to the existing agreement (No. 25036), which had expired on December 31, 2017. Afterwards, the City and Union Bank executed five amendments, the last of which covered the one-year period between November 1, 2022, and October 31, 2023.

In May 2023, US Bank completed the acquisition of Union Bank and guaranteed continuity of the banking and trust custody services offered to the City. After successfully completing a six-month-long transition to US Bank, the City executed the sixth amendment to the existing agreement (No. 25036), which covered the one-year period between November 1, 2023, and October 31, 2024.

US Bank has been a reliable partner in providing the City with a wide range of essential banking services and innovative solutions. Therefore, staff recommend staying with US Bank and executing a new agreement that will incorporate the same fees and ECR (“Earnings Credit Rate”, the interest earned on monies the City has in its checking account which is used to offset fees) and include other minor adjustments to the terms.

The new agreement will cover a three-year period, from November 1, 2024, through October 31, 2027, and include an option for one two-year automatic renewal. US Bank will ensure the same level of services and keep the ECR unchanged at 0.75%. Today, Agenda Item No. 10

the City’s net banking fees with US Bank, based on a $15.0 million average monthly balance and the 0.75% ECR, are approximately $2,000 per month, or $24,000 per year.

BUDGETARY INFORMATION:

The Finance Department’s Fiscal Year 2025 adopted expenditure budget has sufficient appropriation authority to cover the first year of the agreement.

AGENDA DATE: November 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Water Resources Division, Public Works Department SUBJECT: Contract Amendment for Construction Management Services for the Wastewater Small Diameter Closed Circuit Television Program for Fiscal Years 2023-2025 [Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council authorize the Public Works Director to execute the First Contract Amendment with Water Systems Consulting, Inc. for construction management services for the Wastewater Small Diameter Closed Circuit Television Program for Fiscal Years 2023-2025, Contract No. 28,340, in the amount of $99,855 for a total expenditure authority of $422,117.

DISCUSSION:

Background
The City of Santa Barbara (City) operates and maintains a 256-mile wastewater collection system with mains varying in size from 4-inches to 42-inches in diameter. The City expends significant resources to operate and maintain the wastewater collection system to minimize sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), which can pose a threat to public health and the environment. To optimize operations/maintenance and gather data for long term capital improvement planning, the City embarked on the Wastewater Small Diameter Closed Circuit Television Program for Fiscal Years 2023-2025 (Program), an ambitious plan to identify the condition of every pipe in the system by the end of calendar year 2025 through Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection.

To accomplish this plan, the City awarded a contract in 2023 to the low bidder, Pipe Tec, Inc. (Pipe Tec), to video inspect, identify defects, and provide condition ratings on the remaining 225-miles of sewer mains that have not been inspected utilizing the nationally accepted Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) standard. Additionally, the City also awarded a contract to Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC), through a competitive Request for Proposals process, to help staff review and evaluate the work of Pipe Tec.

Council Agenda Report
Contract Amendment for Construction Management Services for the Wastewater Small Diameter Closed Circuit Television Program for Fiscal Years 2023-2025 [Agreement] November 12, 2024

Page 2 ends

Current Status
Pipe Tec has completed the first phase of inspections, which revealed significantly more pipe defects than were anticipated, resulting in a higher percentage of sewer mains requiring review by WSC than expected. WSC’s original proposal assumed that less than 20% of all sewer mains inspected would have significant defects that would warrant video review by WSC staff. This assumption was based on the percentages of defects the City had historically identified during inspections. The percentage of sewer mains with significant defects identified by Pipe Tec requiring WSC review has been over 50%, resulting in WSC being on track to exhaust the contract budget before the completion of the Program at the end of 2025.

Staff has successfully negotiated an amendment to the contract with WSC in the amount of $99,855 with a modified scope of work for review of the remaining phases of Pipe Tec’s inspection work. WSC will perform a detailed review of CCTV videos for all of the sewer mains Pipe Tec identifies as having severe defects and only 10% of the remaining sewer mains with moderate to significant defects. Staff recommends that Council authorize the Public Works Director to amend the contract with WSC in the amount of $99,855 for additional construction management services, for a total contract amount of $422,117.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The Wastewater Small Diameter Closed Circuit Television Program falls outside the definition of a “Project” under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines § 15378 (b)(5) as administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct physical changes in the environment are not subject to CEQA environmental review. The inspection and identification of pipe conditions will not result in direct or indirect physical impacts to the environment. Any future maintenance or repair projects as a result of this program will be subject to CEQA environmental review.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: November 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Finance Department
SUBJECT: Self-Insured Workers' Compensation Program Annual Report RECOMMENDATION:

That Council receive the annual Self-Insured Workers’ Compensation Program Annual Report for the Year Ended June 30, 2024.

DISCUSSION:

California Labor Code Section 3702.6(b) requires staff to advise Council annually about two items relating to the City’s self-insured workers’ compensation program: (1) the value of the total accrued claim liabilities reported by the City on the State’s Self Insurers Annual Report; and (2) whether current accounting and financial reporting of those liabilities are in compliance with the requirements of Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 10.

The California Department of Industrial Relations requires all self-insured public agencies to submit an annual report before October 1 each year that identifies the workers' compensation liabilities as of the prior fiscal year end. Risk Management staff submitted the Fiscal Year 2024 annual report on September 23, 2024.

The annual report submitted by the City identified results for claims reported during Fiscal Year 2024, including the results for all claims that remain open that were reported during a previous fiscal year. City employees reported 137 claims during Fiscal Year 2024; 84 of these claims required the City to pay disability compensation for time away from work.

The City paid $644,951 for disability benefits and $262,204 in medical care on the 137 claims reported during Fiscal Year 2024.

The report lists a total of 210 open claims (from all years). The total liability for these 210 claims equals $15,647,666 – consisting of $7,338,116 for indemnity (disability payments) and $8,309,550 for medical payments.

Council Agenda Report
Self-Insured Workers' Compensation Program Annual Report November 12, 2024

Page 2 ends

The City accounts for its risk management operations in a separate Internal Service Fund, the Self-Insurance Fund (SIF). Every two years, the City contracts with a risk management actuarial firm to prepare an actuarial valuation of the accrued liabilities in the City’s selfinsured workers’ compensation program. The City uses the results of this actuarial valuation as well as claims information from our third party administrator (claims adjuster) to report the workers’ compensation accrued liabilities in both the City’s annual audit report (the “Annual Comprehensive Financial Report” or “ACFR”) and the required annual report submitted to the State of California. The City is partially funded for all of its actuarially determined workers’ compensation claim liabilities. The City also uses the actuarial information to develop the annual allocations from all operating deparmtents into the SIF to ensure adequate resources are available to pay insurance premiums and claims.

GASB Statement 10 established accounting and financial reporting standards for all City claims, including workers’ compensation claims. GASB Statement 10 requires governments to recognize a claim as an expense and liability if both of the following conditions are met:

1. Information available indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred; and,

2. The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

In addition, GASB Statement 10 requires certain disclosures in the footnotes to the financial statements. All of the City’s workers’ compensation claims have been accounted for and reported in accordance with GASB Statement 10.

In summary, the City has met its obligation to file the required Public Self Insurers Annual Report with the State of California Office of Self Insurance Plans. The City also met its legal requirement to report the workers' compensation program liabilities to the City Council with this report. Council will receive a more complete description of the City’s selfinsured workers’ compensation program as part of the ACFR, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

There is no direct budget or financial impact by Council receiving the Self-Insured Workers’ Compensation Program Annual Report.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: November 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Finance Department
SUBJECT: Measure C Annual Accountability Report for Fiscal Year 2024 RECOMMENDATION:

That Council accept the Measure C Annual Accountability Report for the Fiscal Year (FY) Ended June 30, 2024.

DISCUSSION:

In November 2017, Santa Barbara voters approved Measure C, which established a 1.0% district sales tax. The proceeds of the tax, estimated at approximately $31.0 Million per fiscal year, were to be used to fund critical infrastructure capital projects, including streets, sidewalks, storm drains, a new police station, and other City facilities. The Measure C sales tax became effective on April 1, 2018, and will continue indefinitely.

Language articulating priorities as part of the ballot measure was developed from a robust community outreach effort. The Measure C ballot measure articulated the following priorities:

1. Police, Fire, and 911 emergency medical response;

2. Local streets, potholes, bridges, and storm drains;

3. Neighborhood fire stations/public safety infrastructure;

4. Parks, youth/senior services;

5. Address homelessness;

6. Help retain local businesses; and

7. Support other general services.

Measure C required the formation of a seven-member Citizens’ Oversight Committee (Committee). The role of the Committee is to ensure Measure C revenues are spent as intended and in accordance with the tax ordinance. Measure C also required the preparation of an Annual Accountability Report (Report). The Report is intended to show what revenues were received and how those revenues were used. Because Measure C Agenda Item No. 14
File Code No. 260.02

sales tax revenues are not legally restricted special taxes, it is important to demonstrate to the community that the City is using the revenues in the manner intended by the voters.

On February 6, 2018, the City Council adopted a resolution establishing priorities for Measure C expenditures. The Council determined that for the first five fiscal years the top priorities would include:

1. Planning, permitting, and bonding for a new police station facility;

2. Repairing local streets throughout the City, including related street infrastructure;

3. Replacing Fire Station No. 7;

4. Community projects to support the City's parks and library;

5. Business district infrastructure projects; and

6. Maintenance of City buildings.

The Committee met on October 25, 2023, and made recommendations to staff and the City Council regarding the priority of funding for the next five years. On December 14, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution affirming the priorities to include:

1. Construction and debt service payments for a new police station facility;

2. Repairing local streets throughout the City, including related street infrastructure, improving toward a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) goal of 75+ in the next 10-12 years;

3. Address drainage infrastructure by completing a full assessment of the City’s drainage infrastructure;

4. Community projects to support the City’s parks and library;

5. Business district infrastructure projects, with a focus on the State Street Promenade;

6. Maintenance of City Buildings; and

7. Address homelessness by prioritizing housing and facilities.

Summary of Annual Accountability Report for Fiscal Year 2024 As mentioned, the preparation of the Report is required by the Measure C ballot language and adopted ordinance. Its purpose is to provide a complete accounting of all Measure C sales tax revenues and a detailed discussion of how those funds were directed . These requirements are intended to ensure full transparency to the community and to demonstrate compliance with the intentions and priorities of the community supporting Measure C.

In addition to presenting the Report to the Committee, the Report will be provided annually to the City Council and posted to the Committee page on the City’s website so that anyone in the community can access the Report electronically.

The table below summarizes the Measure C-related expenditures through June 30, 2024, by major program area. In total, approximately $33.5 Million of expenditures were incurred on priority capital projects, the most significant in street repaving and other related projects.

The adopted Measure C budget for FY2025 is higher than prior estimates, as sales tax revenues continue to grow modestly year over year. Sales tax revenues continue to be more volatile than other tax sources and are more challenging to predict.

INTRODUCTION TO MEASURE C
Santa Barbara voters passed Measure C in November 2017, which introduced a one-cent sales tax increase. The City of Santa Barbara (City) allocates the resulting revenue, currently estimated at $34.2 million annually, to support essential infrastructure projects.

Measure C mandates an Annual Accountability Report to detail how funds were utilized in the previous year. Since Measure C revenues are not legally restricted, it's crucial for the community to see that the City is honoring its promise to use these funds for addressing critical infrastructure needs.

FISCAL YEAR 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
Measure C funding is essential for maintaining a vibrant and sustainable business environment, helping to support and retain local businesses.

Street maintenance remains a top priority, with a substantial portion of Measure C funding allocated to repaving roads, repairing sidewalks, replacing bridges, and fixing potholes. Funds allocated to sidewalk repairs and access ramps provide accessibility in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. These projects prioritize pedestrian mobility throughout the City, focusing on key areas such as medical offices, hospitals, and grocery stores.

Measure C is also improving safety with the Milpas Street Crosswalk Safety and Sidewalk Widening Project by widening sidewalks at street corners and transit stops, installing high visibility crosswalks, additional lighting, improving cyclist access, and more. The De La Vina Street Bridge Replacement Project is replacing the 108-year-old structurally deficient bridge with one that meets current seismic, safety, and design standards. The Project also includes relocating utilities including domestic water and sanitary sewer facilities, landscape materials, and creek and habitat restoration.

The Business Corridor Improvements Project improves the commercial district infrastructure on Coast Village Road; with work including installation of pedestrian activated rapid flashing beacons, repairing deteriorated sidewalks and curbs, and making sidewalk access ramps ADA compliant.

The State Street Promenade Redesign Project is revitalizing the center of town to provide a more vigorous and sustainable State Street business district for tourists and community members, facilitating sustainable economic growth. Some improvements include repairs to sidewalks, drinking fountains, landscape enhancement, and painting curbs, resulting in a safer, cleaner, and aesthetically pleasing business district. The City also enhanced illumination and saved electricity and money with the Street Lighting Improvements Project, which installed LED systems in existing streetlights in the public rightof-way.

Measure C funding supports the City’s first responders’ renovation projects. This includes the construction planning, permitting, and bonding for the new Santa Barbara Police Station facility, which will construct a new building to replace the current station and consolidate operations with three other locations. The new Station will provide the community better access to services, improve public relations, as well as technical improvements for today’s society. For first responders to stay healthy and ready for any incident that may occur, Fire Station 6’s training facility will also be repaired with Measure C funds.

The Fire Department is strategically replacing and repairing first response equipment through the Emergency Response Equipment Replacement Project, as well as an electronic infrastructure upgrade to fire apparatuses in preparation for regional dispatch through the Emergency Vehicle Electronic Infrastructure Upgrades Project. 1 Measure C funds will address critical infrastructure maintenance, repairs, rehabilitation, and improvements to the City’s 160 miles of storm drain channels and pipes. This helps prevent floods, storm runoff management, and supports the protection of property and infrastructure. The Drainage: Citywide Drainage Assessment Project assesses the condition and location of our existing storm water facilities for the Public Works Department to develop a system wide renewal program, while the Drainage:

Gutierrez Storm Drain Improvements Project enhances drainage for the lower Downtown area to reduce flooding during the storm season. Other projects that improve the drainage capacity include the Westmont Storm Drain and Laguna Pump Station Repairs.

Measure C provides funding for projects aligning with City Council’s priorities for protecting parks, youth, and senior services.

The Dwight Murphy Field Renovation Project consists of the conversion of the existing grass soccer field to a multi-sport synthetic turf field, a new natural turf youth baseball field, a new inclusive playground, a new fitness area, a new family picnic area, and a new prefabricated restroom facility. The Chase Palm Park Renovation will update infrastructure including park restrooms, the pavilion shade structure, and renovations to the patio which will increase site safety and enhance community use. Measure C will also fund the Ortega Park Renovation, which includes rehabilitating the park with a synthetic turf field, a year-round pool for lap swimming, aquatic programs, children’s slide and splash pad area, new park restroom facilities, a basketball court, and more. Also, the West Beach Splash Playground, which has been closed since 2014, will be replaced with either a new wading pool or a splash playground.

Addressing homelessness with a focus on housing and facilities is also a main priority for Measure C resources. Funding will be applied to the downtown Daytime Navigation Center “Faro,” providing housing and employment assistance and behavioral health services. Maintenance of City buildings ensuring accessibility and inclusion is also a priority for Measure C allocations.

The Central Library ADA Elevator Project enhances accessibility to all Library floors and programs by installing a new ADAcompliant elevator.

The Citizens’ Oversight Committee Annual Accountability Report, as well as information about these projects and more, is available at SantaBarbaraCA.gov/citizens-oversight-committee.

6 PROJECT TITLE:

Santa Barbara Police Station Project
WHY THIS PROJECT?
The existing Santa Barbara City Police Station,
located at 215 East Figueroa Street, was constructed
in 1959. Since that time, there have been substantial
increases in both City population and Police
Department staff. In addition, the building does not
meet modern seismic safety and accessibility
standards., Together, growth and insufficient building
standards have created the need for a new,
accessible, and modernized facility.

BENEFITS
The Department currently operates out of,four different locations and the new building will bring the entire Department under one roof. This will improve efficiency, collaboration, and morale. The new building will provide better access to services for the community, improve public relations, and will bring the police force the needed technical improvements expected in today's society. The building will be flexible for future changes to policing and can adapt to whatever the future holds.

Laguna Pump Station
WHY THIS PROJECT?
The renewal of the Laguna Channel Pump Station
will provide more storm water capacity to the
pumping system and will address many deferred
maintenance issues at the Facility. The Facility is
critical City infrastructure that minimizes the impact of flooding in the low-lying neighborhoods between
Laguna Street and Milpas Street. The Facility was
found to have compromised structural integrity due to
corrosion, cracked concrete, and settlement of
channel walls and building slabs, which reduces the
reliability of the Facility. Measure C funds provide the needed grant match to the approved FEMA funding
for the bulk of the project.

Library Plaza Renovation
WHY THIS PROJECT?
The current design of the Central Library Plaza is a
challenge to maintain and the various walls, hedges,
and ground levels have given rise to numerous
security issues. Deferred maintenance of crumbling
walls and lifting concrete pathways pose significant
risks and the lack of Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) access is a safety concern.

The project scope includes the renovation of the
existing plaza which includes fully accessible routes,
increased programming space, and improved
security measures.

BENEFITS
The construction of a newly redesigned Central Library Plaza will allow the City to make the Library Plaza a prominent public space that is a safe and attractive gathering space for residents of Santa Barbara. Beyond improved aesthetics, there will be opportunities for public events, reduced maintenance costs, and reduced use of water resources. Sustainability elements will be incorporated as well as improved ADA access on the entire grounds.

This project supports the community at large by offering a more welcoming environment, increased programming capabilities, increased accessibility measures, and a safer space for the public to visit.

parkways managed by the City. There are 230 of
these areas, totaling 14 acres, located in the Public
Right of Way. Over 8 acres constitute “gateways” to
the City due to their location. Many of the landscapes
are worn out due to old plant material, poor
landscape design, poor or lack of irrigation systems,
minimal landscape maintenance and drought
conditions.

BENEFITS
Funds would be used to purchase and install new amenities when maintenance and repair are no longer feasible.

West Beach Splash Playground
WHY THIS PROJECT?
The West Beach Wading Pool has been closed since
2014, due to a major leak, ongoing response to
drought conditions, and mandatory requirement to
meet current ADA standards and upgrade pump and
filtration systems. Popular beachfront venue for
more than 75 years, the wading pool is well suited to
this location due to the adjacent playground and Los
Banos del Mar pool.

BENEFITS
The project will remove and replace the existing wading pool with either a new wading pool or a splash playground. Additional amenities would include a picnic area and restroom. A splash playground provides a safe and dynamic introduction to aquatic safety for young children during warmer months, while also functioning as a year-round destination playground.

Franceschi Park Renovation
WHY THIS PROJECT?
Franceschi Park is a 17-acre park in Santa Barbara’s
Riviera neighborhood, featuring picnic areas, walking
paths, and panoramic views. The Park’s namesake,
Dr. Francesco Franceschi, operated a botanical
garden and nursery at the location from 1903 to 1913
and introduced hundreds of exotic plant species to
Southern California, some of which can still be found
at Franceschi Park today. The house on the park
property is dilapidated, unsafe and unusable. The
site is in need of significant stabilization and
renovation.

BENEFITS
This project will update the Franceschi Master Plan, develop an interpretive open-air terrace within the footprint of Franceschi House, and complete driveway and pedestrian access and landscape improvements.

The project will complete much needed infrastructure improvements including upgrading the driveway at Mission Ridge Road, stabilization of the retaining wall along the south-facing side of the house and circular driveway, renovation of site drainage, and reconstruction of the stone retaining wall north of the house.

Trails and Walkways
WHY THIS PROJECT?
Santa Barbara parks and public open spaces have a
myriad of trails and walkways that provide recreation
opportunities for walkers, runners, cyclists, hikers,
and, in a few locations, horseback riders.

BENEFITS
Open space trails whether within the Santa Barbara front country trail system or parks such as Hale, Honda Valley, Parma, or the Douglas Family Preserve, among others, require management and maintenance of vegetation, drainage, and tread. Developed walkways within urban City parks also need maintenance and expansion of walking surfaces. Public use of trails and walkways continues to grow driving the demand for enhanced maintenance as well as development of new networks. This project is intended to address both enhanced management as well as development of new trails and walkways within existing City parks and open space areas.

Plaza del Mar Band Shell Renovation
WHY THIS PROJECT?
Plaza del Mar, a City park since the end of the
nineteenth century includes a Band Shell,
constructed in 1919. The park and the Band Shell
were once a popular destination for outdoor concerts.

Use of the park for concerts and other community
celebrations has declined over the decades. Regular
maintenance and preservation has not occurred, and,
as a result, the building requires structural repairs, a new roof, new lighting and other safety
improvements. The need for building repairs and the
limitations on indoor gatherings due to the
coronavirus pandemic, provide a timely opportunity to
re-establish the park as an outdoor concert venue
through the renovation of the Band Shell. The Band
Shell was designated a City Landmark in 1990.

BENEFITS
This project supports the community at large by offering the use of this facility once again. The project also increased accessibility measures, and a safer space for public engagement.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: November 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Contract for the Construction of the Santa Barbara Police Station [Resolution; Agreement]
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:

A. Award a contract to ProWest Constructors Inc., for their best value proposal of $95,998,811 for the construction of the new Santa Barbara Police Station; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the contract and approve expenditures up to $9,600,000 that may result from contract change orders or extra scope of work that may be required; and
B. Adopt, by reading of title only, a Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Authorizing the Finance Director and Risk Manager to Acquire and Execute Policies of Insurance and Other Agreements Necessary to Implement an Owner-Controlled Insurance Program for the New Police Station Construction Project.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

A new police station for the Santa Barbara Police Department has been a top-priority capital improvement endeavor for decades. The existing Police Headquarters was constructed in 1959 for a staff of 85, which has grown to 212 sworn and non-sworn employees. The existing Police Headquarters does not meet the seismic codes for essential services buildings, nor does it meet the current building code and accessibility standards. Currently, police staff are in four separate locations. The Santa Barbara Police Station Project (Project) commenced after approval of Measure C in November 2017.

Following an extensive needs assessment, an exhaustive site selection process landed on the Cota Commuter Lot (119 East Cota Street) as the preferred location. Design was completed by a team lead by a local architecture firm (The Cearnal Collective LLP) and an architecture firm specializing in public safety facilities (McClaren, Wilson & Lawrie, Inc.). The Project will consist of a new three-story, ±65,000-square-foot Police Station, and an ±85,000-square-foot new secure parking structure. The new Santa Barbara Police Station will bring the entire Police Department under one roof and provide the necessary space, technology, and training facilities to support the department and community for many years to come.

The Project has received all required approvals to begin construction. The construction plans and specifications for the Project were included in a Request for Proposals sent to six pre-qualified contractors in August 2024. Two proposals were received and have been evaluated using a Best Value selection process that includes price and predetermined selection criteria as factors in determining the successful contractor. Both cost proposals exceeded the Engineer’s estimate of $90M. The proposal received from ProWest Constructors Inc., was determined to provide the best value and is recommended for award.

A groundbreaking ceremony is tentatively planned for November 18th. Construction is anticipated to begin in full force in January 2025. The site preparation and construction process are estimated to take approximately 24 to 27 months, which includes approximately 3 to 4 months for the earthwork phase and 23 to 24 months for the construction phase. Following construction and contractor demobilization, there will be a final phase of relocating existing operations into the new facility.

DISCUSSION
The Project will bring the entire Police Department under one roof and provide needed space, technology, and training facilities. Police operations will remain the same as they presently exist at the current locations, including Investigative/Internal Operations Division, Field Operations Division, Community Support Services Division, and Common Areas (public lobby, multi-purpose meeting rooms, staff break rooms, fitness room, and locker rooms). The public lobby area will be separated from the secure staff areas.

The new facility is anticipated to increase recruitment and retention of employees, improve morale, and provide the department with a facility that is commensurate with the technological requirements of community policing today and in the future. The new facility will accommodate future growth of the department, it will be flexible in its ability to accommodate any future changes within the department, and it will be a welcoming space for our community.

SELECTION PROCESS:

The selection process for a general contractor to construct the Project began with a prequalification process in late 2023 to prequalify contractors capable of building an essential services building of this scope and magnitude. Through this process, a total of six contractors were pre-qualified to receive the Request for Proposals (RFP) package. In March 2024, the City’s Charter was amended through Measure A that allowed for different procurement methods, such that this Project was no longer subject to a low-bid proposal. It was determined that using the Best Value method would provide the City the opportunity to select a contractor based on multiple criteria which include, but are not limited to, cost alone.

Council Agenda Report
Contract for the Construction of the Santa Barbara Police Station [Resolution; Agreement] November 12, 2024

Page 3 ends

Two pre-qualified general contractors submitted best value proposals: ProWest Constructors Inc., (ProWest) and Swinerton Builders. The proposals were reviewed independently by a panel and scored relative to the selection criteria laid out in the RFP document. In addition, interviews were conducted with each general contractor and the review panel.

The selection criteria outlined in the RFP were as follows:

Selection Criteria Maximum Points
Relevant Experience 200
Contract Schedule 150
Demonstrated Management Competency 200
Labor Compliance 100
Safety Record 250
Interview 100
Total Possible Qualification Points 1,000
These review panel scores were averaged for a Qualification Points total. The Best Value calculation was derived from dividing the proposed cost by the average of Qualification Points received. The lowest calculated number equals the Best Value.

Best Value Score = Proposed Cost / Average of Qualification Points Received ProWest’s proposal produced the overall Best Value. Staff recommends that Council authorize the Public Works Director to enter into a contract with ProWest.

The Project, as an improvement in an amount greater than $5,000,000, must include a project labor agreement. Therefore, the Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) between the City and the Tri Counties Building and Construction Trades Council is included as a requirement of the construction contract with ProWest. The City will retain the services of a CWA administrator to monitor compliance throughout construction.

OWNER CONTROLLED INSURANCE PROGRAM
The City is also embarking on an Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) for the Project. The OCIP will include Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance, Commercial General Liability Insurance, Builders Risk Insurance, and Excess Liability Insurance in connection with the Project. Under the OCIP, the City will acquire comprehensive insurance for the Project. The parties eligible to enroll in the OCIP are the Contractor selected and Subcontractors performing a portion of the work on the Project site.

The OCIP will be managed by Alliant Insurance Services Inc., (“Administrator”) on behalf of the City. The OCIP is one of many services provided by PRISM, a joint powers agency of which the City is a member, that provides insurance and risk financing services to public agencies. Alliant Insurance Services Inc. provides brokerage services for PRISM and will provide OCIP brokerage and Administrator services to the City through PRISM. The intent of the OCIP is to purchase certain insurance policies for protection of some, but not all, of Council Agenda Report

the insurable risks that exist on a construction project. The City will pay all insurance premiums for the coverage. In addition to the actual cost savings for the coverage provided, the added savings for the Project and for the City is in the efficiency and time savings that the OCIP administration provides by having a single Administrator handling claims and addressing issues. The time savings to the Project directly translates into cost savings. This model has been very successful in other jurisdictions, such as Santa Barbara County. The proposed resolution will authorize the Finance Director and Risk Manager to execute necessary insurance policies and other agreements to implement the OCIP.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The Project has been funded by Measure C since its inception. Funding for the construction phase of the project will shift to debt financing, via the issuance of 30-year lease revenue bonds that will be implemented in December 2024 and available for the Project that same month. From that point forward, the costs for this Project will be paid through the bond proceeds. Repayment on the bonds (rent) cannot begin until the project is complete (2027) and available for use. The required debt services are anticipated to initially represent approximately 24.0% of the annual Measure C revenue budget.

However, while the annual debt service expense will remain the same, it is anticipated that the percentage of Measure C funds utilized to pay the debt service will decrease as Measure C revenue increases over time.

There were several additional and unanticipated owner-furnished items compared to the original budget. Those include IT equipment and communications, OCIP, construction management, and escalation due to inflation over the past 18 months. Most of the ownerfurnished items and any additional contingency needed for the Project will be funded through future Measure C appropriations during upcoming annual budget cycles.

Total Project Construction Cost to Completion $121,312,690 In addition to the future costs detailed above, the project has incurred expenses to date for all architecture and engineering, planning and design services, that total approximately $7.5 Million, funded entirely by Measure C sales tax revenues.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

The new Zero Net Energy (ZNE) police station will result in a large reduction of the building’s carbon footprint and energy consumption as compared to a conventional building and the current facilities. As a ZNE facility, the police station will generate as much energy as it consumes through renewable energy sources like solar power, supporting the City’s commitment to carbon neutrality. This initiative meets the City’s Municipal Green Building Policy and reflects Santa Barbara’s broader goals of enhancing energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting environmental stewardship. Additionally, the station’s sustainable design and operational practices set a standard for future municipal projects, demonstrating leadership in creating resilient, energy-efficient infrastructure while enhancing public safety.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The City of Santa Barbara’s Public Works Department prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) that examines environmental impacts as required per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of the Project (PLN2020-00627). The MND has been prepared in accordance with CEQA (Public Resources Code §21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations, §15000 et seq.).

Significant environmental effects identified in the MND which are anticipated as a result of the Project include impacts related to the following CEQA analysis of Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural and Tribal Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Land Use and Planning, Noise, and Water Quality and Hydrology.

The MND includes proposed mitigation measures to mitigate potentially significant impacts to a less than significant levels. Based on the mitigation measures identified in the MND, it has been determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment after mitigation measures are incorporated. The MND was adopted on July 19, 2022, by City Council.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: November 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: City Administrator’s Office
SUBJECT: Presentation on the Findings and Recommendations from the Housing Crisis Ad Hoc Committee
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Housing Crisis Ad Hoc Committee was formed on April 19, 2022. Mayor Rowse appointed Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez as Chair and Councilmembers Alejandra Gutierrez and Kristen Sneddon as members. The motion approved was to create an ad hoc committee to address the housing crisis while folding in items of rent cap and a rent registry for further discussion.

The Committee began meeting in 2023 and formalized their objectives as follows:
(a) Rely on local expertise and stakeholders to offer input, suggestions, and priorities for Council to consider in addressing the local affordable housing crisis; (b) Hold a community forum to solicit community input; and (c) Present to Council the full suite of suggestions with emphasis on the top recommendations from the Ad Hoc Committee with the goal of setting near and long-term priorities.

The Committee interviewed over twenty-eight (28) key stakeholder groups and member associations over this period to help form their initial findings and recommendations. A community workshop was also held on October 14, 2024 that included close to 100 participants along with 64 attendees that participated virtually through Zoom. The purpose of the workshop was to receive additional feedback on the Committee’s findings as well Agenda Item No. 18

as how recommendations should be prioritized by City Council for further research and discussion.

DISCUSSION:

The State of California is facing an affordable housing crisis due to a combination of factors, and the City of Santa Barbara is no exception. This includes a critical affordable housing shortage, high cost of living including rising home prices and rental rates that are pricing out residents, and a persistent number of people experiencing homelessness.

The Housing Crisis Ad Hoc Committee was formed to explore these issues and identify policy and program recommendations for consideration by City Council. Several of the recommendations have already been incorporated into the City’s 2023 – 2031 Housing Element1 and are programmed for implementation with timelines, but others will require additional staff time and resources for extended research and to identify important considerations for potential implementation. As a result, staff seeks direction from the Council on the top priorities from those policy recommendations that are not already a part of the Housing Element implementation. This will help staff identify the resources needed to conduct additional research and community outreach on these policy ideas in the context of existing workloads. Staff also intends to incorporate the direction given at this meeting as part of the upcoming strategic planning efforts and will return to Council for a broader prioritization and resource allocation discussion in that context as well.

Committee Findings
The Committee synthesized the following findings from key stakeholder interviews that helped shape their recommendations. The challenges identified by tenants include, but are not limited to, the following:
 High barriers to rental housing (e.g. three times the income needed, above 650 credit score, security deposits and not accepting co-signers)  Rental prices are far outpacing wages
 Lack of compliance from property owners (e.g. no lease agreements, timing for eviction notices)
 Fear of retaliation and eviction
 Dwindling housing supply
The challenges identified by property owners include, but are not limited to, the following:
 Expenses are increasing (e.g. roof repairs, water and gas mains, electrical issues, rising construction costs, and insurance)
 City ordinances and regulations are obscure, hard-to-find, and not available in Spanish

 Fear of criminal prosecution
 Fear that if they don’t keep up with rental increases, they won’t be able to make up the needed income down the line to make needed repairs and upgrades and to keep up with other increased expenses
 Delays in getting through the permitting process and associated costs as a result Committee Recommendations
The Committee organized their recommendations into five different categories including:
(1) education and access to information; (2) increasing affordable housing supply; (3) incentive programs; (4) support for innovation; and (5) regulation and City programs.

During the October 14, 2024 community workshop, the Committee presented their findings and recommendations and solicited additional input from the public. Close to 100 people participated in person and weighed in on what was missing in the Committee’s findings as well as how the recommendations should be prioritized. The feedback received is included as an Attachment to this Council Agenda Report.

The community workshop also had a virtual participation option through Zoom which included a total of 64 attendees. Given the significant number of participants, staff solicited feedback on prioritization through a poll that included the five broader categories.

There were 34 responses to the poll and the top three priorities emerged as: (1) increasing affordable housing supply; (2) incentive programs; and (3) support for innovation including leveraging public-private partnerships. This input was weighted in the priority ordering included below.

The following recommendations are being presented in priority order based on this community feedback. The recommendations in italics are included in the City’s 2023 – 2031 Housing Element.
(1) Prioritize more workforce housing for the “missing middle” (middle to upper middle-income households). The term “workforce housing” is typically used to refer to units for households that are overqualified for subsidized affordable housing yet cannot afford the average market-rate housing. Goal 2 in the 2023 – 2031 City’s Housing Element commits to prioritize housing that is affordable to the workforce and vulnerable communities.
(2) Dedicate a permanent funding source for the Local Housing Trust Fund. The Local Housing Trust Fund was established in January 2024. This is also included as Goal 8 in the City’s Housing Element.2 All inclusionary housing in-lieu fees were identified as the dedicated and continuous source for operations of the Fund for a minimum of the required first five years of the Fund’s existence. However, this amount is insufficient to meet the affordable housing needs of the City of Santa Barbara. 2 2023 – 2031 City of Santa Barbara Housing Element Program HE-16: Create Affordable Housing Funds, page 138.

(3) Work to ensure that UCSB and SBCC are providing sufficient housing for their student populations. There were 13,427 enrolled students at Santa Barbara City College in Fall 2023 and another 26,420 students (including undergraduate and graduate) enrolled at the University of California, Santa Barbara. SBCC does not own or operate any on-campus student housing. For UCSB, approximately 38% of students live in campus housing and the other 62% of students choose to live off-campus. Of those living in the local community, approximately 5% (or 1,321 students), live in the City of Santa Barbara. Coordinating and discussing the issue with other local jurisdictions, UCSB and SBCC is included in the City’s Housing Element.3
(4) Implement a rent stabilization ordinance. This is also known as rent control and limits how much rent a landlord can increase and how often it can be increased. The California Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (TPA) already limits rent increases for most residential tenants. The maximum annual rent increase is 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living for the region, or 10 percent, whichever is lower. The TPA does not apply to certain specific types of housing, such as housing built in the last 15 years.

Proposition 33 would have repealed the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act that set the limits on how cities and counties could apply rent control, including the exemption of single-family homes, condos and any other housing built on or after February 1, 1995.

Given that it did not pass statewide during this year’s election and also with approximately 59% of City of Santa Barbara voters not in support, further staff research could potentially explore the impact that a new ordinance could have due to the current limits on local control as well as other rent stabilization strategies that could be implemented. (5) Create a rental registry. A rental registry is a database that contains information about rental properties and their owners. Landlords or housing providers would provide the information to comply with local ordinances. Information often includes property details, current rent and allowable rent increases, landlord contact details and management company information. Rental registries can assist cities in tracking rent increases and tenancy changes, monitor compliance with local ordinances, communicate rental unit data to landlords and tenants, and plan for infrastructure like schools and transportation. There are many different mechanisms for creating a rental registry and the more comprehensive registries can be extremely costly in terms of implementation and ongoing staff resources needed to support it. Options for implementing a rental registry should be weighed based on other competing priorities for the funding and staff resources needed to implement such a registry.
(6) Sustain a short-term rental enforcement program. The City launched a one-year pilot program in August 2023 with the objective of gathering accurate data and increasing enforcement of unpermitted, illegal short-term rentals. This pilot program is being led by the City Attorney’s Office and was recently converted into a permanent program.

of the City’s Housing Element4 calls for a future short-term rental permit program.

Additional financial resources, which could be raised by permit program fees and penalties, would be needed to sustain creation and implementation of such a program. (7) Expand rental housing mediation program / consider mandatory mediation for certain rent increases. The City’s Rental Housing Mediation Program (RHMP) was established in 1976 and currently comprises three full-time staff and a Board of 15 trained community volunteers appointed by City Council and dedicated to resolving rental housing disputes by offering mediation services and information on Landlord-Tenant rights and responsibilities. This program is included as a strategy under Goal 45 in the City’s Housing Element but given the reduction in State funding utilized to support this program, an expansion would require additional budgeted resources by City Council. (8) Sustain the access to legal counsel program. City Council established a new access to counsel pilot program in July 2024 by providing up to $250,000 in funding to the Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County to operate the program. The goal of the program is to provide legal services to tenant households at risk of eviction and support would be limited to very low-income tenant households who live in the City of Santa Barbara.
(9) Create incentive programs for housing providers. This includes tax incentives for below market rental units, programs/credits for improvements and repairs, and allowances for capital improvements. A study conducted in 2021 by BAE Urban Economics indicated that multi-unit hard construction costs are upwards of $388 per square foot of built space, not including parking hard costs of $40,000 per podium space.

Soft costs such as engineering, architecture, financing, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review costs, as well as City cost-recovery fees for planning, permitting, and entitlements, are equal to 19 percent of hard costs. In recent years, several factors have caused the increase in cost as well as the availability of construction materials and equipment.

The City’s Housing Element6 does include strategies specific to providing rehabilitation funds for affordable multi-unit housing and technical assistance and funding home improvements and repairs for income-qualified households, respectively. A pilot program to fund income-qualified improvements and repairs was initiated in partnership with Habitat for Humanity with an initial investment of $50,000 to support approximately 10 homes annually.
