Summary: Under this bill, a housing development that is, among other requirements, an extremely affordable adaptive reuse project on an infill parcel that is not located on or adjoined to a site where more than 1/3 of the square footage on the site is dedicated to industrial use, as specified, would be an allowable use. The bill would authorize a local agency to impose objective design review standards, except as specified. The bill would authorize a local agency to deny the project if it is proposed to be located on a site or adjoined to any site where any of the square footage on the site is dedicated to industrial use and the local agency makes written findings that approving the development would have an adverse effect on public health and safety. The bill would provide that for purposes of the Housing Accountability Act, a proposed housing development project is consistent, compliant, and in conformity with an applicable plan, program, policy, ordinance, standard, requirement, or other similar provision if the housing development project is consistent with the standards specified in these provisions. The bill would require a local agency to determine whether the proposed development meets those standards within specified timeframes. The bill would define an “extremely affordable adaptive reuse project” for these purposes to mean a multifamily housing development project that involves retrofitting and repurposing of a residential or commercial building that currently allows temporary dwelling or occupancy, and that meets specified affordability requirements, including that 100% of the units be dedicated to lower income households, 50% of which shall be dedicated to very low income households, as specified. Because the bill would require local officials to provide a higher level of service, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Re: 2023 State Budget Requests from the City of Santa Clara

Dear Assemblymember Low:

On behalf of the City of Santa Clara, I want to express my enthusiasm about continuing to build a strong relationship between the City and your office.

As the State Legislature continues to evaluate funding priorities, as part of the FY 2023 -24 Budget process, I am respectfully presenting a list of priority projects that the City would like to partner with you on.

Through discussions with City officials, the City has identified four priority projects that we believe would be worthy recipients of state funding given their significant local and regional impacts. As such, we seek to partner with you to secure funding in the 2023 State Budget. The funding requests have been placed in order of priority.

1. Regional Public Safety Interoperable Radio Communications Amount Requested: $2,500,000
Project Description: The City is a member of a countywide organization dedicated to facilitating interoperable voice and data communications known as Silicon Valley Regional Interoperability Authority (SVRIA). This system operates on a P25 digital radio system that allows public safety entities throughout Santa Clara County interoperability in situations where a multi -jurisdictional response is necessary, such as severe storm, flooding, fires, earthquake, active shooter, mutual aid situations, and domestic terrorism. Critical incidents that have required the use of these radios include the Gilroy Garlic Festival and Valley Transportation Authority shootings. This two -way radio infrastructure is also critical in managing large-scale events at Levi's Stadium as local, state and federal law enforcement is necessary to carry out each major event at this venue.

The City’s Police and Fire Departments respond to the daily needs of the community, and routinely prepare to respond to critical incidents in the City, region, and throughout the state.

In 2022, the Communications Center received 161,398 emergency and non -emergency calls for service. Many of the City’s portable and mobile radios are nearing the end of their serviceable life and are in need of replacement. This request, if funded, would allow the City to secure a significant portion of the radios that need replacing.

2023 State Budget Requests from the City of Santa Clara March 23, 2023

2. Cupertino-Santa Clara On-Demand Micro-Transit Shuttle Project Amount Requested: $2,500,000
Project Description: The City of Santa Clara is partnering with the City of Cupertino to implement an on-demand micro-transit shuttle project to serve those who live and work in Cupertino and Santa Clara. With support from a California State Transportation Agency State Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) grant, the goal is to continue Cupertino’s existing On-Demand Micro-Transit Shuttle program and expand service into Santa Clara with a fleet of zero-emissions vehicles. Service is being designed to focus on offering improved and affordable connections between local Caltrain, Amtrak, VTA stations to job centers and other key destinations in Cupertino and Santa Clara while providing increased transit access for disadvantaged communities, high poverty zones, and senior populations.

3. Great America Parkway Congestion Relief and Multimodal Improvements Project Amount Requested: $2,500,000
Project Description: This project will relieve congestion and improve the City’s multimodal environment by constructing bicycle facilities and travel lane and traffic signal improvements at a major intersection in the North Santa Clara area. The project is located at the intersection of Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard and connects the US-101 and State Route 237 freeways to key destinations in the heart of Silicon Valley, including Levi's Stadium (1.1 million visitors in 2019), the Santa Clara Convention Center (318,000 visitors in 2019), Great America Amusement Park (1.5 million visitors in 2019), Mission Communi ty College (serves over 10,000 students), Mercado Shopping Center (over 200,000 square feet of retail), as well as the headquarters of major companies like Intel, Advanced Micro Devices, Applied Materials, Marvell Technology, and Chegg. In addition to serving these destinations, the City is working on Long Range Plans to add over 20,000 housing units, 12 million square feet of office space, and 2 million square feet of retail in the North Santa Clara area that is served by this intersection. This project wi ll improve safety and increase mobility for all users of this major transportation corridor in Santa Clara.

4. SC Overnight Care Locations
Amount Requested: $1,800,000
Project Description: Unprecedented weather events of the past year have amplified the need for the City to address basic needs of people living outside for shelter, health, and hygiene. While the City opens warming/cooling centers in City facilities during normal business hours, there is a need to extend hours to include overnight hours. Modeled after the OWL (Overnight Warming Location) Program in San Jose, this project seeks to establish up to two sites in Santa Clara where the unhoused will have a safe place to gain respite from inclement weather conditions, address immediate needs for food a nd access support services. The City recently drafted a Homelessness Response Plan which has identified this gap in service as a critical need. While the City is piloting a mobile shower and laundry service and works collaboratively with local non -profits to provide support services, there is currently no overnight shelter or emergency interim housing in Santa Clara. Consequently, the basic needs, health, and welfare of unhoused individuals in Santa Clara are going unmet.

This project would fund the initial investment to launch pop -up emergency overnight facilities, fund a dedicated street and encampment outreach team and staff overnight care locations for a two -year period. Funding would also be used to explore partnerships with The Honorable Evan Low
2023 State Budget Requests from the City of Santa Clara March 23, 2023

Valley Water, the County, Ca ltrans, railroads, businesses, nonprofits, faith -based and volunteer organizations to leverage funding, facilities, expertise and staffing to manage the impacts of encampments and support clean -up activities near encampments, parks, creeks and other locati ons in the City in an effort to create a more comprehensive homelessness response.

I am optimistic that these project requests align with state goals and would be a worthy investment of state funds. Thank you for your consideration.

2023 State Budget Requests from the City of Santa Clara April 11, 2023

2. Cupertino-Santa Clara On-Demand Micro-Transit Shuttle Project Amount Requested: $2,500,000
Project Description: The City of Santa Clara is partnering with the City of Cupertino to implement an on-demand micro-transit shuttle project to serve those who live and work in Cupertino and Santa Clara. With support from a California State Transportation Agency State Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) grant, the goal is to continue Cupertino’s existing On-Demand Micro-Transit Shuttle program and expand service into Santa Clara with a fleet of zero-emissions vehicles. Service is being designed to focus on offering improved and affordable connections between local Caltrain, Amtrak, VTA stations to job centers and other key destinations in Cupertino and Santa Clara while providing increased transit access for disadvantaged communities, high poverty zones, and senior populations.

3. Great America Parkway Congestion Relief and Multimodal Improvements Project Amount Requested: $2,500,000
Project Description: This project will relieve congestion and improve the City’s multimodal environment by constructing bicycle facilities and travel lane and traffic signal improvements at a major intersection in the North Santa Clara area. The project is located at the intersection of Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard and connects the US-101 and State Route 237 freeways to key destinations in the heart of Silicon Valley, including Levi's Stadium (1.1 million visitors in 2019), the Santa Clara Convention Center (318,000 visitors in 2019), Great America Amusement Park (1.5 million visitors in 2019), Mission Community Col lege (serves over 10,000 students), Mercado Shopping Center (over 200,000 square feet of retail), as well as the headquarters of major companies like Intel, Advanced Micro Devices, Applied Materials, Marvell Technology, and Chegg. In addition to serving th ese destinations, the City is working on Long Range Plans to add over 20,000 housing units, 12 million square feet of office space, and 2 million square feet of retail in the North Santa Clara area that is served by this intersection. This project will imp rove safety and increase mobility for all users of this major transportation corridor in Santa Clara.

4. SC Overnight Care Locations
Amount Requested: $1,800,000
Project Description: Unprecedented weather events of the past year have amplified the need for the City to address basic needs of people living outside for shelter, health , and hygiene. While the City opens warming/cooling centers in City facilities during normal business hours, there is a need to extend hours to include overnight hours. Modeled after the OWL (Overnight Warming Location) Program in San Jose, this project seeks to establish up to two sites in Santa Clara where the unhoused will have a safe place to gain respite from inclement weather conditions, address immediate needs for food an d access support services. The City recently drafted a Homelessness Response Plan which has identified this gap in service as a critical need. While the City is piloting a mobile shower and laundry service and works collaboratively with local non -profits t o provide support services, there is currently no overnight shelter or emergency interim housing in Santa Clara. Consequently, the basic needs, health, and welfare of unhoused individuals in Santa Clara are going unmet.

This project would fund the initial investment to launch pop -up emergency overnight facilities, fund a dedicated street and encampment outreach team and staff overnight care locations for a two -year period. Funding would also be used to explore partnerships with The Honorable Aisha Wahab
2023 State Budget Requests from the City of Santa Clara April 11, 2023

Valley Water, the County, Cal trans, railroads, businesses, nonprofits, faith -based and volunteer organizations to leverage funding, facilities, expertise and staffing to manage the impacts of encampments and support clean -up activities near encampments, parks, creeks and other locatio ns in the City in an effort to create a more comprehensive homelessness response.

I am optimistic that these project requests align with state goals and would be a worthy investment of state funds. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Subject: AB 1469 (Kalra) Valley Water – Assisting Unsheltered People Re: Request for Signature

Dear Governor Newsom:

On behalf of the City of Santa Clara City Council and in alignment with the City’s Legislative Advocacy Position Policy, I am writing to respectfully request your signature on AB 1469, w hich makes changes to the Santa Clara Valley Water District Act to allow the agency to do more to assist unsheltered people living along creeks and streams, including providing housing or improved outcomes for unsheltered individuals.

Santa Clara County is currently experiencing unprecedented increases in the number of unhoused people taking refuge along waterways that run through neighborhoods, parks, and open spaces, as well as through commercial districts and industrial areas. As the regional ag ency responsible for water supply, flood protection, and the environmental stewardship of creeks and streams, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) owns hundreds of miles of property along waterways as well as other public lands. These locat ions are a preferred refuge for unsheltered people because of their proximity to surface water and the sheltering effects of riparian vegetation, canyons, and creek banks. Valley Water estimated in February 2023 that more than 2,000 unsheltered people were taking refuge on the agency’s properties and easements.

AB 1469 (Kalra) would provide Valley Water with the statutory authorization to use its land and a portion of its general tax revenue to humanely assist unsheltered people living along waterways to p rovide outreach, interim housing, or other supportive services through contracts with cities, the County, or non - governmental organizations. The agency’s goal is to bring more resources to the table to facilitate solutions to serious environmental and oper ational impacts of large numbers of unsheltered people living along creeks and streams.

The Honorable Gavin Newsom
Re: AB 1469 (Kalra) Valley Water – Assisting Unsheltered People September 13, 2023

The City of Santa Clara urges you to sign AB 1469 because it will enable Valley Water to do more to assist unsheltered people taking refuge along waterways, provide more resources to support the efforts of cities, the County, and non - governmental organizations to address the homelessness crisis in our region, and will give Valley Water the tools it needs to improve water quality and protect sensitive, threatened, and endangered species.

RE: S u
pport of S.1514 and H.R.3170, the Homes for Every Local Protector, Educator, and Responder (HELPER) Act
Dear Sp
eaker McCarthy, Majority Leader Schumer, Leader Jeffries, and Leader McConnell:

On beha
lf of the City of Santa Clara, I am honored to write in strong support of S.1514 and H.R.3170, the Homes for Every Local Protector, Educator, and Responder (HELPER) Act, introduced by U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R -FL), John Ossoff (D- GA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Catherine Cortez Masto (D- NV), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and U.S.

Representatives John Rutherford (R-FL) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ).

The HE
LPER Act would create a home loan program within the Federal Housing Administration to help our law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and preK-12 teachers (“first responders”) by making homeownership more affordable. Too often, our civil servants struggle to afford their first home.

Because of this, we are writing in support of the HELPER Act, which would help our civil servants access the housing they need to serve their communities.

Fir
st responders dedicate their lives to protecting and serving their fellow Americans. The COVID-19 pandemic has only made clearer the ongoing challenges that these brave first responders face. It is time we honor them for their service. To that end, the HELPER Act program will function similarly to the home loan program managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Managed by the Federal Housing Administration, it will allow law enforcement officers, fire fighters, EMTs, paramedics, and preK-12 teachers to obtain a low-interest, fully insured home loan with no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance costs for a first-time home purchase.

Support of S.1514 and H.R.3170, the Homes for Every Local Protector, Educator, and Responder (HELPER) Act September 13, 2023

Our nation’s first responders have demonstrated their unwavering commitment to their communities. Even amidst a deadly pandemic, these heroes have served without hesitation. We believe they have earned access to affordable housing so that they can provide fo r their families and continue to serv e their communities.

We hope you will join the City of Santa Clara in support of the HELPER Act, and we lo ok forward to working with you on this important matter.

Sincerely,
Li

Re: Assembly Bill (AB) 28 (Gabriel)
- Request for Signature
D
ear Governor Newsom,
O
n behalf of the City of Santa Clara City Council and in alignment with the City’s Legislative Advocacy Position Policy, I am writing to respectfully request your signature on AB 28. This bill will secure dedicated and sustained funding for lifesaving violence intervention initiatives and related gun violence prevention, education, and research purposes through a modest surtax on firearm industry profits.

G
un violence is a public health, safety, and equity crisis. Since the start of the pandemic, our nation has seen record- setting gun and ammunition sales, alongside record nationwide increases in shootings, homicides, and related traumas. This has been a time of record profits for some and brutal pain and loss for too many others.

T
o promote community safety, California has in recent years acted to invest in violence intervention initiatives that work to interrupt entrenched cycles of shootings, trauma, an d retaliation. These programs support and heal victims of firearm violence, and provide targeted intervention services to other individuals identified as highest risk of being shot or involved in cycles of violence in the near future. The state’s investment in these programs, primarily through the California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) grant program, has provided a critical lifeline to temporarily sustain and expand programs employing frontline violence intervention workers and saving lives today.

H
owever, these investments have thus far relied on short -term General Fund commitments. Sustained reductions in gun violence will require sustained investments in prevention and intervention efforts and longer -term planning to The Honorable Gavin Newsom
Re: Assembly Bill (AB) 28 (Gabriel) - Request for Signature September 13, 2023

entrench virtuous cycles of trauma recovery, retaliation prevention, peace- building, and safety. The City recognizes the importance of comprehensive efforts to reduce gun violence and supports legislation that preserves, or expands, funding levels for public safety programs and services such as CalVIP that AB 81 would raise funding for.

For these reasons, the City of Santa Clara urges you to sign AB 28.

Sincerely,

23-1162 Agenda Date: 10/24/2023

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on the Annual City of Santa Clara Electric Department dba Silicon Valley Power 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High-Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
On October 9, 2018, the City Council took action on the initial determination of wildfire risk on the remote transmission assets for the City of Santa Clara associated with Silicon Valley Power (SVP).

This action included direction to SVP staff to create a formal wildfire mitigation plan (WMP) for remote transmission assets owned by SVP required by California Public Utilities Code Section 8387, as amended by Senate Bill 901 in 2018. On June 25, 2019, the City Council approved SVP’s 2019 Wildfire Mitigation Plan. In accordance with State law, the WMP is reviewed by staff and adopted by Council on an annual basis.

SVP’s service territory is contiguous with the City of Santa Clara (City) city limits with limited service in neighboring jurisdictions and is situated in an urban environment. Based on historical fire data and local conditions, and in consultation with local fire departments, there is no significant risk of catastrophic wildfire resulting from overhead electrical lines and equipment within SVP’s service territory. Therefore, the WMP focuses on the management of five transmission assets outside of SVP’s service territory.

The City owns generation facilities and related transmission assets outside of SVP’s service territory.

These include the following:
· The Grizzly Hydroelectric Project (Grizzly), a part of the Bucks Creek Project, FERC No. 619, located in Plumas County, California. To allow for the delivery of energy from Grizzly and interconnection to Pacific Gas & Electric’s transmission system, the City owns approximately

3.4 miles of a 115 kV generation tie line and other appurtenant facilities necessary. Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) maintains the generation tie line. The generation tie line is in PG&E’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
· The Black Butte Hydroelectric Project (Black Butte), FERC No. 3190 dated May 5, 1983, and amended June 5, 1987. Through this project, the City owns a 9.5 mile long 60 kV generation tie line interconnecting the Black Butte to PG&E’s existing 60 kV line near the city of Orland, California. SVP maintains the generation tie line.
· The Stoney Gorge Hydroelectric Project (Stoney Gorge), FERC No. 3193 dated July 15, 1983.

City of Santa Clara Printed on 10/20/2023Page 1 of 3

23-1162 Agenda Date: 10/24/2023
Through this project, the City owns a one mile-long, 60 kV generation tie line connecting the Stoney Gorge with PG&E’s Elk Creek Substation north of the powerhouse. SVP maintains the generation tie line.
· The High Line Canal Hydroelectric Project (High Line), FERC No. 7252 dated July 17, 1984.

Through this project, the City owns an approximately 75 foot long 12 kV three phase generation tie line that interconnects with existing PG&E lines. SVP maintains the generation tie line.
· A 4.98 percent ownership interest in a 230 kV double circuit transmission line between Castle Rock Junction and Lakeville Substation in area known as the Geysers pursuant to an Agreement of Co-tenancy in the Castle Rock Junction-Lakeville 230 kV Transmission Line, dated June 1, 1984. This line allows for the transmission of the City’s share of energy from the Geothermal Generation Project. PG&E maintains the transmission line.

SVP used the 2018 California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Fire Threat Map (WMP Appendix A) and historical fire map data to determine the level of wildfire risk. The CPUC fire threat map has two tiers. Tier 2 fire-threat areas are areas where there is an elevated risk (including likelihood and potential impact on people and property) from utility associated wildfires. Tier 3 fire-threat areas are areas where there is an extreme risk (including likelihood and potential impact on people and property) from utility associated wildfires. Properties that are owned by the City but don’t have any generation, transmission, or distribution such as the Loyalton property are not part of the WMP.

DISCUSSION
Each year, SVP staff reviews the plans to see if there are conditions that warrant changes to the plan.

After the plan is reviewed, staff submits the plan for the City Council to approve. In connection with its approval of the WMP, staff reviewed the WMP to ensure its compliance with statutory requirements.

Once the plan is approved by the City Council, the plan is then submitted to the California Wildfire Safety Advisory Board who is charged with reviewing wildfire mitigation plans and providing suggestions.

The following is a summary of significant changes that were made in the SVP 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan:

1. Moved the “Context Setting Information” and the “PUC 8387(b)(2) Requirements Table” to the front of the WMP in accordance with the Wildfire Safety Advisory Board 2022 Guidance Opinion.

2. Replaced the word “de-energization” with “isolation” throughout the document to reflect the state of the line. “De-energization”, per Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standard Number 1910.269(m), states that a line is not de-energized until it is tested as de- energized. Although operators open the lines so that no electricity flows through because there is no testing, SVP considers the line isolated rather than de-energized.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
City of Santa Clara Printed on 10/20/2023Page 2 of 3

23-1162 Agenda Date: 10/24/2023
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15378(b)(2) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as a continuing administrative activity (general policy and procedure making).

FISCAL IMPACT
The creation of an SVP Wildfire Mitigation Plan consolidates and formalizes established SVP preventive maintenance procedures and practices. Related expenses have been included in the Generation and Transmission and Distribution program operating budgets within the Utility Operations Division in the Electric Utility Fund.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT

III. OVERVIEW

A. Policy Statement
Silicon Valley Power (SVP) is the City of Santa Clara’s municipally owned electric utility. SVP’s mission and overarching goal is to provide safe, reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy services with exceptional customer focus. In order to meet this goal, SVP constructs, maintains, and operates its own electrical lines and equipment. SVP carries out these activities in a manner that minimizes the risk of catastrophic wildfire posed by its electrical lines and equipment.

B. Purpose of the Wildfire Mitigation Plan
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan describes the range of activities that SVP is taking to minimize the risk of wildfires ignited by its electrical lines and equipment, including its various programs, policies, and procedures. This plan is subject to direct approval and oversight by the Santa Clara City Council and is implemented by the Santa Clara City Manager. This plan complies with the requirements of Public Utilities Code section 8387 for publicly owned electric utilities to prepare a wildfire mitigation plan by January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter. The Wildfire Mitigation Plan and the Independent Evaluator report are posted on the SVP website located at (https://www.siliconvalleypower.com/svp-and-community/safety/wildfire-mitigation-plan) SVP is a department within the City of Santa Clara (City). SVP coordinates closely with the City’s Fire Department and Police Department in the planning for and response to any emergency event within the City. SVP also owns, operates and maintains remote transmission assets outside the limits of the City as further described below and shown in Appendix A. SVP coordinates with local fire and other public safety agencies that have jurisdictions in those locations.

SVP’s service territory is contiguous with the City of Santa Clara city limits with limited exceptions in neighboring jurisdictions. The City is an urban environment and is surrounded on all sides by urban environments in other Cities. Pursuant to Public Utilities Code section 8387(b)(2) the City Council has determined that, based on historical fire data and local conditions, and in consultation with the Fire Department that there is no significant risk of catastrophic wildfire

8 resulting from electrical lines and equipment located within SVP’s geographical service area.

Outside of SVP’s geographic service area, SVP operates electrical lines and equipment in five separate remote locations in Northern California. Some of these remote assets are located in a CPUC High Fire Threat District. The Wildfire Mitigation Plan contains a description of the operations and equipment that Silicon Valley Power utilizes to minimize the risk of wildfire being ignited by our assets with specific strategies for our assets that are located in high fire hazard severity areas, high fire threat areas, or areas we have determined have a high risk for sustaining a destructive wildfire.

SVP owns remote transmission assets, including, but not limited to, wires, poles, and other equipment needed to safely deliver power generated from generation assets located outside the City limits to the grid as more fully described below:
 Grizzly Tie Line - SVP owns the Grizzly Hydroelectric Project (Grizzly), a part of the Bucks Creek Project, FERC No. 619, located in Plumas County, California, as set forth in the Grizzly Development and Mokelumne Settlement Agreement by and between Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and Santa Clara, dated March 8, 1990, as amended (Grizzly Agreement). Through the project, SVP owns approximately 3.4 miles of a 115 kV generation tie line, extending from the Grizzly powerhouse to, and including the end structure and disconnect switch, near Bucks Creek Powerhouse and all other facilities necessary for interconnection with PG&E's transmission system. PG&E operates and maintains this project including the generation tie line through the Grizzly Operations and Maintenance Agreement. The generation tie line is included as part of PG&E’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
 Black Butte Tie Line - SVP owns the Black Butte Hydroelectric Project (Black Butte), FERC No. 3190 dated May 5, 1983 and amended June 5, 1987.

Appendix A contains maps showing the geographic areas of these assets.

C. Organization of the Wildfire Mitigation Plan
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan included the following elements:
 Objectives of the plan;
 Roles and responsibilities for carrying out the plan;  Identification of key wildfire risks and risk drivers;  Description of wildfire prevention, mitigation, and response strategies and programs;  Reclosing Policy
 De-Energization Policy
 Community outreach and education;
 Metrics for evaluating the performance of the plan and identifying areas for improvement; and
 Review and validation of the plan.

IV. OBJECTIVES OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN

A. Minimizing Sources of Ignition
The primary goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to minimize the probability that SVP owned electrical lines and equipment may be the origin or contributing source for the ignition of a vegetation fire. This plan is intended to supplement, but not replace or duplicate applicable building and fire codes. SVP has evaluated its physical assets, operations, and training that can help to meet this objective. Through this evaluation, SVP has identified prudent and cost effective improvements that have been implemented.

B. Resiliency of the Electric Grid
The secondary goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to improve the resiliency of the electric grid.

As part of the development of this plan, SVP assesses new industry practices and technologies that will reduce the likelihood of an interruption (frequency) in service and improve the restoration (duration) of service.

C. Identifying Unnecessary or Ineffective Actions
The goal for this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to measure the effectiveness of specific wildfire mitigation strategies. Where a particular action, program component, or protocol is determined to be unnecessary or ineffective, SVP will assess whether a modification or replacement is merited. This plan will also help determine if more cost-effective measures would produce the same or improved results.

12 VI. WILDFIRE RISKS AND DRIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION,

OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE

A. Particular Risks and Risk Drivers Associated with Topographic and Climatological Risk Factors
As discussed above, there is no significant risk of catastrophic wildfire within SVP’s service territory. However, to ensure reliability and high levels of customer safety and service, SVP performs vegetation management through an area trimming program throughout its service territory on a five year cycle and enhanced focus areas based on outage history in addition to annual and five year asset inspection programs.

Although specific risks differ for each line outside of the SVP service territory, risks associated with extended drought, changing weather patterns and climate change apply to all of the lines.

Each of the lines with the exception of the High Line Canal Interconnection are considered transmission lines operating at the 60kV, 115kV or 230kV. For the initial evaluation of the risks, SVP compared location of our remote lines to the CPUC High Fire Threat District Map and the Cal Fire California Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map.

The Grizzly Tie Line is located in the CPUC Tier 3 Extreme Fire Threat Zone, and Cal Fire identifies the area in which the line is located in as Federal jurisdiction (US Forest Service). The mountainous terrain, heavy vegetation and the potential of lightning strikes and high winds are all risk drivers for this line. This tie line was damaged by the “Dixie” Wildfire in 2021 which burned 963,309 acres. The cause of the fire was found to be unrelated to the Grizzly Tie Line and/or SVP assets.

The Black Butte Tie Line is not located in a CPUC Tier 2 or Tier 3 Fire Threat Zone. Approximately

3.75 miles of the 9.5 mile line are located on the edge of a Cal Fire moderate hazard zone. The terrain is flat and runs along a road through agricultural land. The line is occasionally subject to lightning strikes. The one known fire associated with the line was caused by a bird contact and was limited to a small area (less than 500 square feet) of grass between poles 82 and 83 immediately under the line on October 6th, 2015.

The Stony Gorge Tie Line is located in a CPUC Tier 2 Elevated Fire Threat Zone. Approximately 0.1 miles are located on the edge of a Cal Fire high hazard zone. The remaining 0.9 miles are located in a Cal Fire moderate hazard zone. Except for the first 250 feet of the line located at the base of an undeveloped hill, the line is constructed over level terrain. The line crosses Stony Creek then follows roads through agricultural land. There is no known fire history associated with this line.

The High Line Canal Interconnection consists of a riser, a pole mounted transformer and a 75 foot overhead span connected to a PG&E distribution line. The entire connection is over a gravel and dirt road and parking area adjacent to a cemetery. The High Line Canal Interconnection is not located in a CPUC Tier 2 or Tier 3 Fire Threat Zone. It is located on the edge of a Cal Fire moderate hazard zone. There is no significant risks and no known fire history from the High Line Canal Interconnection.

Silicon Valley Power Wildfire Mitigation Plan
June 2023
13 The Castle Rock Lakeville Transmission Line is located in the CPUC Tier 2 elevated and Tier 3 Extreme Fire Threat Zones. The line runs through Cal Fire moderate, high and very high hazard zones as well as areas notated as Federal jurisdiction. The communities, mountainous terrain, heavy vegetation and the potential of and high winds are all risk drivers for this line. This line is operated and maintained by PG&E the majority owner and is covered by PG&E’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

B. Identifying and Presenting Enterprisewide Safety Risk Safety of life and property including mitigation of wildfire risk are part of the culture of SVP.

Enterprise risks associated with wildfire including design and construction standards, vegetation management and operational practices have been reviewed by senior utility staff. Experts in vegetation management have been consulted. Discussions with other utilities and experts have occurred to assure that SVP’s standards meet or exceed the standards in the industry. The potential risks and this mitigation plan have been presented to SVP’s governing body, the Santa Clara City Council and SVP staff.

A diverse team of SVP staff including System Operators, Engineers, and Senior Managers meets monthly to review the Wildfire Mitigation Plan and vegetation management updates. The electric utility operations group works with SVP’s contracted professional tree service company and other contractors to perform annual vegetation inspections as well as inspections of SVP’s electrical assets.

In 2019, SVP also developed a System Operations Procedure for Wildfire Mitigation which SVP’s System Operators use to help SVP adhere to this Wildfire Mitigation Plan. The SOP contains detailed roles and responsibilities, and procedures to be followed during various events.

C. Changes to CPUC Fire Threat Map
During its review of SVP facilities, SVP has not identified any areas having a higher wildfire threat than has been identified in the CPUC maps. No new information or changes to the environment were identified that would justify that the CPUC should expand its maps.

Silicon Valley Power Wildfire Mitigation Plan
June 2023
14 VII. WILDFIRE PREVENTATIVE STRATEGIES

A. High Fire Threat District
SVP directly participated in the development of the California Public Utilities Commission’ s (CPUC) Fire-Threat Map,3 which designates a High-Fire Threat District. In the map development process, SVP served as a territory lead, and worked with utility staff and local fire & government officials to identify the areas of SVP’s service territory that are at an elevated or extreme risk of power line ignited wildfire. None of SVP’s service territory nor any territory adjacent to SVP has been designated as a Tier 1, 2, or 3 threat area.

B. Weather Monitoring
The SVP assets located in Glenn and Tehama Counties of California; the Black Butte tie line, Stony Gorge tie line, and the High Line Canal connection, are operated by SVP. Of these assets only the Stony Gorge tie line is located in a wildfire threat area (Tier 2). SVP operates all three of these lines as if they were all within a wildfire threat area. The SVP Electric System Operator monitors current and forecasted weather and associated fire danger data from a variety of sources including:
 ONCC Significant Fire Potential (Website - Primary Source)  NWS Fire Weather Zone Map (Website - Back-up Source)
 PG&E PSPS Map and Portal (Website - Corroborative Source)  NWS Watches, Warnings or Advisories; Glenn County (Website - Corroborative Source) During wildfire season4, the SVP Electric System Operators will monitor the ONCC Significant Fire Potential website on a daily basis to identify the fire risk and corresponding response.

Risk Categories:

1. Moist (Little or Low Risk): During moist conditions, all SVP staff and contractors involved in the operation and maintenance of the lines in Glenn and Tehama Counties will be made aware of the low-risk conditions in all safety tailboard briefings. No changes are made to operations or work policy.

2. Dry (Low risk of large fires in the absence of a “High Risk” event): During dry conditions, all SVP staff and contractors involved in the operation and maintenance of the lines in Glenn and Tehama Counties will be made aware of the low-risk conditions in all safety tailboard briefings. No changes are made to operations or work policy.

3. Very Dry (Low/Moderate risk of large fires in the absence of a “High Risk” event): During very dry conditions, all SVP staff and contractors involved in the operation and maintenance of the lines in Glenn and Tehama Counties will be made aware of the Very Dry conditions and will include wildfire safety in all safety tailboard briefings.

3 Adopted by CPUC Decision 17-12-024.
4 Wildfire season is generally defined by SVP as the period typically between May 1st and October 31st unless determined by the SVP Senior Electric and Water System Operator the season needs to be extended due to conditions that may present in any given year.

Silicon Valley Power Wildfire Mitigation Plan
June 2023
15 4. High Risk Days: 20% Chance of a large fire due to a combination of dry or very dry fuel and an ignition trigger, or dry or very dry fuel combined with a critical burn environment.

During High-Risk days, all SVP staff and contractors involved in the operation and maintenance of the lines in Glenn and Tehama Counties will be made aware of the High Risk and will include wildfire safety in all safety tailboard briefings. A wildfire patrol of the lines will be carried out at the onset of the High-Risk condition. If the High-Risk conditions continue for an extended period of 7 days or more, patrols are to be carried out weekly.

5. Red Flag Warnings: If the National Weather Service declares a Red Flag Warning for Glenn and Tehama Counties, all SVP staff and contractors involved in the operation and maintenance of the lines in Glenn and Tehama Counties will be made aware of the Red Flag Warning and will include wildfire safety in all safety tailboard briefings. A wildfire patrol of the lines will be carried out prior to the beginning of the Red Flag Warning, and at least daily if the risk factors persist. All power line maintenance activities will be performed with lines isolated. Consideration of isolating the lines will be made on a case- by-case basis. If a line trips due to an electrical fault, the line will be left out of service until it is patrolled and it is determined safe to be returned to service.

C. Design and Construction Standards
SVP’s electric facilities are designed and constructed to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standard. SVP treats CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a key industry standard for design and construction standards for overhead electrical facilities. SVP meets or exceeds all standards in GO 95. Additionally, SVP monitors and follows as appropriate the National Electric Safety Code.

At our High Line Canal Interconnection, there are expulsion fuses, however, the electrical line is located over a dirt and gravel road and is not located in a HFTD. Even though the line is not located in a high fire threat district, SVP mitigates the risk of expulsion fuses as if it were in a HFTD by maintaining a 10ft radius around the poles free of vegetation and flammable materials.

In 2020, SVP installed raptor guard at 9 locations on the Black Butte 60 kV line to harden them from raptor contact. There are no other planned hardening measures at this time as SVP’s policy is to de-energize the line during high fire threat events. Annual patrols utilizing thermal and corona imaging are performed to ensure that hardware, insulators, and connectors are up to standard.

D. Vegetation Management
SVP meets or exceeds the minimum industry standard vegetation management practices. For transmission-level facilities, SVP complies with NERC FAC-003-4, where applicable. For both transmission and distribution level facilities, SVP meets: (1) Public Resources Code section 4292; (2) Public Resources Code section 4293; (3) GO 95 Rule 35; and (4) the GO 95 Appendix E Guidelines to Rule 35. These standards require significantly increased clearances in the High Fire Threat District. The recommended time-of-trim guidelines do not establish a mandatory standard, but instead provide useful guidance to utilities. SVP contracts with professional tree service company who has Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in vegetation management and uses

Silicon Valley Power Wildfire Mitigation Plan
June 2023
16 specific knowledge of growing conditions and tree species to determine the appropriate time of trim clearance in each circumstance. SVP does not use herbicides or growth inhibitors.

Although SVP’s service territory is not in an area with high wildfire potential, SVP hires a professional tree service company to systematically trim and remove trees to maintain required clearances from overhead circuits.

SVP treats its facilities located in Glenn and Tehama Counties to be within a High Fire Threat District. As these facilities are 60kV lines totaling no more than 11 miles in length and are easily accessible, SVP employs the following methodology for vegetation control. On an annual basis, SVP contracts with a professional tree service company to perform an inventory of trees in the proximity of facilities in Glenn and Tehama Counties. This inventory is recorded electronically and a scope of work for tree trimming, and removal is created. This scope of work is also completed in the same year and a report by the professional tree service company is provided to SVP.

E. Inspections
SVP meets or exceeds the minimum inspection requirements provided in CPUC GO 165 and CPUC GO 95, Rule 18. SVP staff and contracted SMEs uses their knowledge of the specific environmental and geographical conditions to determine the required frequency of inspections.

Separate vegetation and physical inspections of the remote lines owned and operated by SVP are performed every year and additionally on an as-needed basis. These lines are visually inspected from the ground, drone, helicopter or on elevated platforms. Corona and thermal imaging technologies are also used. Any necessary repairs will be completed in a timely manner as appropriate. Any issue that is creating an eminent safety concern will be immediately addressed.

Inspections carried out on red flag days look for any emergent conditions containing but not limited to the following criteria:
 Broken or slack down guys.
 Leaning poles
 Un-balanced spans.
 Encroachment on minimum 4-foot radial clearance between conductors and vegetation.
 Broken insulators.
 Discolored conductor connections.
 Accumulation of flammable debris encroaching in the SVP facility right of way.

The SVP Electric and Water System Operator maintains procedures and tools for mitigating emergent wildfire threats associated with remote facilities owned and operated by SVP. The System Operator logs conditions and the inspection results for high risk and red flag days.

Silicon Valley Power Wildfire Mitigation Plan
June 2023
18 SVP works to ensure that all inspections to be performed are completed before the beginning of the historic fire season. SVP monitors drought conditions and other relevant factors throughout the year to determine if inspections should be completed in a shorter timeframe.

F. Workforce training
The Electric Utility Chief Operating Officer is specifically responsible for assuring that all employees having obligations for implementation of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan receive regular training. Training on the wildfire plan are held each spring prior to the start of the wildfire season.

Training will include roles and responsibilities, identification of risks, and procedures associated with monitoring and response.

VIII. RECLOSING POLICY
SVP does not have reclosers or reclosing schemes on its remote lines.

If one of the remote lines operated and maintained by SVP is isolated due fire or high fire risk, it will only be restored after physical inspection and in accordance with SVP operating procedures under direction of an SVP Electric and Water System Control Operator and in coordination with PG&E as appropriate. SVP staff or contractors will coordinate with local public safety officials in the event of an active fire. No customers are served by these lines.

IX. ISOLATION5
All SVP remote lines are generation tie lines. SVP has the authority to preemptively isolate the lines it operates and maintains due to fire-threat conditions. No customers would be affected by the isolation of these lines. SVP will make a case-by-case decision to shut off power based on the following considerations:
 Red Flag Warnings issued by the National Weather Service for fire weather zones that contain SVP remote lines;
 SVP staff assessments of local conditions, including wind speed (sustained and gust), humidity and temperature, fuel moisture, fuel loading and data from weather stations;  Real-time information from staff and contractors located in areas identified as at risk of being subject to extreme weather conditions;
 Input from fire experts and vegetation experts;
 Input from local and state fire authorities regarding the potential consequences of wildfires in select locations;
 Availability of alternative generation resources;
 Awareness of mandatory or voluntary evacuation orders in place;  Other operational considerations to minimize potential wildfire ignitions,;

5 Beginning with the 2023 WMP, the term “de-energization” was replaced with “isolation” because according to Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standard Number 1910.269(m), a line or equipment is not considered de-energized until it is tested as de-energized. Although the operators open the lines, because there is no testing, SVP considers the lines isolated.

X. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PUBLIC AWARENESS
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan has been submitted to the Cal Fire Tehama Glenn Unit for review. The plan was also reviewed with Orland Unit Water Association for the lines SVP operates and maintains. The mitigation plan was presented to the City of Santa Clara City Council in a public meeting for approval.

XI. METRICS AND ASSUMPTIONS FOR MEASURING PLAN PERFORMANCE SVP will track two metrics to measure the performance of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan: (1) number of fire ignitions; and (2) wires down on the remote lines.

METRIC 1: FIRE IGNITIONS
For purposes of this metric, a fire ignition is defined as follows:
 An SVP remote facility was associated with the fire;
 The fire was self-propagating and of a material other than electrical and/or communication facilities;
 The resulting fire traveled greater than one linear meter from the ignition point; and  SVP has knowledge that the fire occurred.

SVP has knowledge of one Fire Ignition associated with the Black Butte Tie Line. A bird contacted the line and a fire started in the grass immediately under the line. The fire was limited to a small area. SVP has no knowledge of other Fire Ignitions associated with its lines. Each of the lines has been in service for over 3 decades.

In future Wildfire Mitigation Plans, SVP will provide the number of fires that occurred that were less than 10 acres in size. Any fires greater than 10 acres will be individually described.

METRIC 2: WIRES DOWN
The second metric is the number of remote line wires downed. For purposes of this metric, a wires down event includes any instance where an electric distribution or transmission conductor falls to the ground or on to a foreign object.

SVP will not normalize this metric by excluding unusual events, such as severe storms. Instead, SVP will supplement this metric with a qualitative description of any such unusual events. SVP has no knowledge of any wire down on its remote lines since placed in service.

A. Impact of Metrics on Plan
Each time an event occurs within one of the metrics above, SVP will perform an analysis of the event including any design or operational recommendations for improvement. SVP will then evaluate potential improvements to the plan.

June 2023
20 Between January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2022, there were no fire ignitions caused by SVP and no wires down events.

XII. MONITORING AND AUDITING THE PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan is reviewed annually by staff and presented to Santa Clara City Council on an annual basis. Staff will review activities throughout the year to determine if changes to the WMP are appropriate.

A. Identifying and correcting Deficiencies in the Plan
This wildfire mitigation plan is a living document. As the plan is implemented, SVP will compile any deficiencies identified by staff, contractors, SMEs and other sources. Improvements and corrections will be reviewed and implemented in a timely manner as appropriate. Each year the plan will be reviewed and updated prior to submittal to Santa Clara City Council.

B. Monitoring the effectiveness of inspections
Any vegetation or physical issues found during inspections will be compiled and retained for future review. Trends involving repeated issues, timeliness of issue resolution, metrics listed in section VII A, or other observations will be reviewed on an annual basis. The inspection program will be adjusted as appropriate.

XIII. INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
Public Utilities Code section 8387(c) requires SVP to contract with a qualified independent evaluator with experience in assessing the safe operation of electrical infrastructure to review and assess the comprehensiveness of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan. The independent evaluator must issue a report that is posted to SVP’s website. This report must also be presented to Santa Clara City Council at a public meeting.

In 2022, SVP hired Dudek, to review and assess the comprehensiveness of SVP’s 2022 WMP.

Dudek has conducted a number of independent evaluator reports for other publicly owned utilities. The independent evaluator report was reviewed by the internal SVP team and staff incorporated the recommended changes into its 2022 WMP. The final IE Report was noted and filed by the Santa Clara City Council on September 13, 2022. The final IE Report can be found on SVP’s website at https://www.siliconvalleypower.com/svp-and-community/safety/wildfire- mitigation-plan.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action to Waive Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance No. 2064 Amending Section 3.25.030 of the Santa Clara City Code to Reflect the Increase in the Transient Occupancy Tax Rate

BACKGROUND
At the October 10, 2023 Council meeting, proposed Ordinance No. 2064 was passed for the purpose of publication. Pursuant to City Charter Sections 808 and 812, a summary of proposed Ordinance No. 2064 was published to the Santa Clara Weekly on October 18, 2023, and copies were posted in three public places.

DISCUSSION
On November 3, 2020, Santa Clara voters approved the following ballot measure that allows for an increase of up to four percentage points in the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). This ballot measure, approved by 73.57% of Santa Clara voters, supports essential City services, paid by guests staying in hotels. With this measure, the TOT can be increased from 9.5% to up to 13.5% by resolution.

On October 10, 2023, the City Council approved a Resolution increasing the TOT rate from 11.5% to

12.5%. This Ordinance brings the City Code into conformance with that Resolution.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environment Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15378(a)(4) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant impact on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25 Adopted Budget factors in additional revenue from a one percentage point increase in the TOT rate effective January 1, 2024. This additional revenue is estimated at $1.7 million annually.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD

SUBJECT
Action on Agreements to Provide Comprehensive Banking Services to the Stadium Authority

COUNCIL PILLAR
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium

BACKGROUND
The Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Authority) is responsible for overseeing and managing all of its treasury activities, including managing banking relationships, paying expenditures, handling cash receipts, and safekeeping of the Authority investments and securities.

In 2012, the Authority selected Bank of America to act as its depository bank as part of the Deposit and Disbursement Agreement with Forty Niners SC Stadium Company, LLC, Stadium Funding Trust (Trust), Goldman Sachs Bank USA (Trustee), U.S. Bank National Association (US Bank), and Bank of America. Goldman Sachs Bank USA’s Trustee role, which is to act at the direction of the creditors, was later transferred to US Bank in 2013. As a depository bank, Bank of America is responsible for holding the monies and distributing the funds based on the instruction of the Trustee. The bank cannot invest or transfer monies without the Trustee’s request and approval. After serving as the depository bank for 11 years, Bank of America resigned in April 2023. This action along with the new funds coming in for the Renovation/Demolition Reserve prompted staff to initiate a comprehensive review of the Authority’s banking needs. During this review, staff identified three specific areas, as outlined below:
· General Banking Services - This entails providing daily operational banking services. The services include processing deposits and disbursements utilizing wire or ACH transfers, providing online access to accounts, and generating detailed monthly reports. Bank of America is the current bank for this service.
· Investment Services - The Authority expects to transfer its annual excess revenue to the Renovation/Demolition Reserve each year until it reaches, under the terms of current Stadium agreements, $70 million. The current reserve fund balance is approximately $5.3 million. Due to limited staff capacity and expertise, the Authority intends to engage an outside investment firm to effectively manage the investment of these funds. The investment firm will manage the Authority’s portfolio in accordance with the California Government Code. Currently, the Authority does not have an active investment portfolio management firm. · Custodian Banking Services - This involves providing settlement, safekeeping, and reporting services for the Authority’s investment portfolio, including marketable securities and cash.

Currently, the Authority does not have this service because there is no current active City of Santa Clara Printed on 10/20/2023Page 1 of 5

23-558 Agenda Date: 10/24/2023
investment portfolio management service.

The purpose of this report is to request authorization to negotiate and execute agreements with financial institutions to fulfill the Authority’s required banking services.

DISCUSSION
General Banking Services
On July 13, 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase (JPM) for general banking services on behalf of the City. JPM was selected through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process conducted in 2019. Under the agreement, JPM provides the City with various general banking services, similar to the services provided by Bank of America to the Authority. The City’s agreement with JPM stipulated that in the event that the Authority desired to enter into an agreement, the same terms and conditions would be applicable to the Authority.

JPM offers a full range of banking and depository services, provides a dedicated team of experienced professionals, demonstrates superior online and technology capabilities, and offers competitive earnings credit and deposit rates. By leveraging the City’s current agreement with JPM, the Authority will benefit from favorable fees typically reserved for very large public funds. As a result, staff recommends that the Authority is authorized to negotiate and execute an agreement with JPM for general banking services.

The proposed agreement with JPM has an initial term of two years, with the Authority having the discretion to exercise one five-year option to extend the term of the agreement, subject to JPM’s approval of terms. The estimated maximum compensation for the initial two-year term is $35,793, or $17,897 annually. Under the previous agreement with Bank of America, the Authority was paying approximately $27,787 per year. With the new agreement with JPM, the Authority will achieve cost savings of $9,890 per year.

Final terms and conditions of the agreement are currently being finalized with JPM. The draft form of the agreement is included as an attachment to this report.

Investment Services
On July 14, 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into an agreement with PFM Asset Management (PFMAM) for investment advisory and portfolio management services on behalf of the City. PFMAM was also selected through a competitive procurement process conducted in 2020. Under the agreement, PFMAM provides prudent investment strategies, ensures sufficient cash liquidity, works with the City’s custodian for safekeeping of securities, provides services required to execute and settle investment trades, provides monthly reports of investment portfolio activity, and holds quarterly meetings to discuss portfolio performance. PFMAM performs its duties in accordance with the City’s Investment Policy, which encompasses all deposits, investments and other assets of the City, including its subsidiaries and the Authority.

By using PFMAM, the Authority can take advantage of the preferential rates and fees applied to the City that are also generally only available to Asset Under Management (AUM) of a certain size. The cost for services on assets of similar size to the Authority would normally incur fees of at least 7.5 basis points, with a minimum annual fee of $40,000. However, under the City’s preferential rate, the minimum annual fee will be waived, and the cost for services will be a flat fee of 4.9 basis points City of Santa Clara Printed on 10/20/2023Page 2 of 5

23-558 Agenda Date: 10/24/2023
(0.049%) of the portfolio. Therefore, staff recommends that the Authority is authorized to negotiate and execute an agreement with PFMAM for investment management services.

The proposed agreement with PFMAM has an initial term of five years, with the Authority having the sole discretion to exercise two additional one-year options or one two-year option to extend the term of the agreement. Based on the Renovation/Demolition Reserve’s initial fund size, expected growth, and ultimate maximum portfolio amount of $70 million, the maximum compensation during the initial term will not exceed $100,000. Actual investment earnings, depending on market conditions, are anticipated to cover the cost of the fees and provide for maximum returns when compared with funds currently deposited in the Stadium Authority’s general banking account.

Final terms and conditions of the agreement are currently being finalized with PFMAM. The draft form of the agreement is included as an attachment to this report.

Custodian Banking Services
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.140(c), a formal Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) was conducted as the solicitation method for this procurement, with the award recommendation based on “best value”. In April 2023, the Authority published the SOQ for Custodian Banking Services on the Authority’s e-procurement platform. Two proposals were received from the following firms:
· Principal Bank
· UMB Bank
Proposals were individually evaluated by a three-member team. Staff recommend awarding the agreement to Principal Bank for having submitted the best value proposal.

The agreement with Principal Bank has an initial term of five years, with the Authority having the sole discretion to exercise two one-year options or one two-year option which is still under negotiations.

Based on the Renovation/Demolition Reserve’s initial fund size, expected growth, and ultimate maximum portfolio amount of $70 million, the maximum compensation during the initial term will not exceed $75,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of a California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Furthermore, the action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The term of Agreement with JPM is two-years with an option to extend the term up to five-years.

Banking fees related to JPM will not require a budget amendment as they will be replacing services currently provided by Bank of America and the related fees have been included in the FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget.

City of Santa Clara Printed on 10/20/2023Page 3 of 5

23-558 Agenda Date: 10/24/2023
The term of Agreement with PFMAM is five-years with an option to extend the term for up to two additional years. For FY 2023/24, sufficient savings in the Stadium Authority General and Administrative budget to cover the $1,299 in projected fees incurred for investment management.

The necessary expenditure adjustments will be incorporated into future budgets.

The term of Agreement with Principal Bank is five-years with an option to extend the term for up to two additional years. For FY 2023/24, sufficient savings in the Stadium Authority General and Administrative budget to cover the additional $15,000 in annual fees for custodian services. The necessary expenditure adjustments will be incorporated into future budgets.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Executive Director and Stadium Authority Counsel Office.

This Agreement shall not be assigned or transferred without the prior written approval of Authority; provided, however, Contractor may assign this Agreement without Authority’s approval to a successor in interest in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, or a disposition of a particular business to which this Agreement relates, and in the event of such an assignment, Contractor shall notify Authority as soon as reasonably practicable, and if Authority objects to such assignment, Authority may immediately terminate this Agreement without penalty.

Contractor shall not be required to notify or obtain permission from Authority or any other party to engage a Third Party Service Provider.

Contractor shall be as fully responsible to Authority for the negligent acts and omissions of its subcontractors, and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by them, as Contractor is responsible under this Agreement for the negligent acts and omissions of persons directly employed by it.

Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Page 6
Rev. 07-01-18
Contractor in connection with the performance of this Agreement shall be held confidential by Contractor and shall not, without the prior written consent of Authority, be used for any purposes other than the performance of the Services or for audit, compliance, fraud mitigation or risk management purposes nor be disclosed to an entity to whom disclosure is not necessary for the foregoing purposes. Nothing furnished to Contractor which is otherwise known to Contractor or becomes generally known to the related industry shall be deemed confidential.

12. OWNERSHIP OF MATERIAL
[Intentionally deleted. Banking services are not provided on a work for hire basis.]

13. RIGHT OF AUTHORITY TO INSPECT RECORDS OF CONTRACTOR Authority, through its authorized employees, representatives or agents shall have the right during the term of this Agreement and for four (4) years from the date of final payment for goods or services provided under this Agreement, to audit the books and records of Contractor for the purpose of verifying any and all charges made by Contractor in connection with Contractor compensation under this Agreement, including termination of Contractor. Contractor agrees to maintain sufficient books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in its industry to establish the correctness of all charges submitted to Authority. Any expenses not so recorded shall be disallowed by Authority.

Authority shall reimburse Contractor for the reasonable cost of complying with any inspection, audit or review, unless the audit determines that there has been a substantial billing deviation in excess of five (5) percent adverse to the Authority, in which case Contractor shall not be entitled to such reimbursement and Authority may deduct the amount of excess fees paid by Authority from compensation due to Contractor under this Agreement, unless there is no compensation due (or the compensation due is less than these amounts) in which case such amounts may be charged directly to Contractor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Contractor’s maintenance, return, removal or destruction of any books or records is subject to Contractor’s standard record retention policy and retention periods established thereunder for each category of records. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Contractor to disclose or permit access to any examination reports, internal audit reports, records relating to other parties or personnel who are not responsible for overseeing Contractor’s performance of the Services, or any records that Contractor does not disclose to third parties in the ordinary course of its business. Further, any audit, examination, or review under this Agreement is: i) subject to Contractor’s receipt of a written request from Authority specifically describing the books or records required, ii) solely for the purpose of verifying Contractor’s compliance with the compensation and payment provisions of this Agreement and iii) subject to Contractor’s record retention policies. If Authority requires access to Contractor’s facilities, such access will be subject to

Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Page 7
Rev. 07-01-18
Contractor’s security procedures and Contractor may impose reasonable restrictions on the number of individuals allowed access, the frequency and length of access, and the areas accessed.

Contractor shall submit to Authority any and all reports concerning its performance under this Agreement that may be requested by Authority in writing.

Contractor agrees to assist Authority in meeting Authority’s reporting requirements to the State and other agencies with respect to Contractor’s Services hereunder. The type and content of the reports and the assistance provided shall be as mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

14. HOLD HARMLESS/INDEMNIFICATION
A. To the extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify Authority, its City Council, commissions, officers, employees, volunteers and agents from and against any claim, injury, liability, loss, cost, and/or expense or damage, including all costs and attorney’s fees in providing a defense to any such claim or other action, and whether sounding in law, contract, tort, or equity, to the extent caused by Contractor’s negligence or willful misconduct in its performance ofi the Services pursuant to this Agreement – including claims of any kind by Contractor’s employees or persons contracting with Contractor to perform any portion of the Scope of Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Contractor is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, punitive or special damages, including lost profits, regardless of the form of action or theory of recovery, even if Contractor has been advised of the possibility of those damages or the same are reasonably foreseeable; and (ii) Contractor’s indemnity obligations shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to two times the average annual fees paid or payable to Contractor under the Agreement (exclusive of any earnings credits used to offset such fees).

B. Contractor’s obligation to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless in full Authority and Authority’s employees, shall specifically extend to any and all employment-related claims of any type brought by employees, contractors, subcontractors or other agents of Contractor that perform any portion of the Scope of Services, against Authority (either alone, or jointly with Contractor), in connection with this agreement, regardless of venue/jurisdiction in which the claim is brought and the manner of relief sought.

C. To the extent Contractor is obligated to provide health insurance coverage to its employees pursuant to the Affordable Care Act (“Act”) and/or any other similar federal or state law, Contractor warrants that it is meeting its obligations under the Act and will fully indemnify and hold harmless Authority for any penalties, fines, adverse rulings, or tax payments associated with Contractor’s responsibilities under the Act.

18. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
To the extent binding upon Contractor in its performance of the Services, Contractor shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the federal, state and local government, including but not limited to “The Code of the City of Santa Clara, California” (“SCCC”). In particular, Contractor’s attention is called to the regulations regarding Campaign Contributions (SCCC Chapter 2.130), Lobbying (SCCC Chapter 2.155), Minimum Wage (SCCC Chapter 3.20), Business Tax Certificate (SCCC section 3.40.060), and Food and Beverage

Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Page 9
Rev. 07-01-18
Service Worker Retention (SCCC Chapter 9.60), as such Chapters or Sections may be amended from time to time or renumbered. Additionally Contractor has read and agrees to comply with City’s Ethical Standards (http://santaclaraca.gov/home/showdocument?id=58299).

To the extent that the charter, ordinances, rules and regulations of Authority currently, or in the future, impose obligations upon Authority’s contractors that provide services contemplated in this Agreement, which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement, Contractor will, if notified of such requirements, endeavor to comply with the same, except to the extent that it reasonably concludes that compliance with such requirements subject it to additional obligations, liability or expense or impose upon it reporting requirements of confidential or non-public information or information that it does not currently monitor or disclose to third parties. If Contractor makes such determination, and the parties are unable to resolve these issues through mutually agreeable amendments to this Agreement, either party may terminate this Agreement without penalty upon notice to the other.

19. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Contractor certifies that to the best of its knowledge, no Authority officer, employee or authorized representative has any financial interest in the business of Contractor and that no person associated with Contractor has any interest, direct or indirect, which could conflict with the faithful performance of this Agreement. Contractor is familiar with the provisions of California Government Code section 87100 and following, and certifies that it does not know of any facts which would violate these code provisions. Contractor will advise Authority if a conflict arises. For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor does not consider ownership interests in its holding company, JPMorgan Chase & Co., or any of its publicly traded affiliates to constitute an interest for the purpose of the foregoing certification. Mere ownership of interests in such publicly traded companies does not entitle a shareholder to manage or participate in Contractor’s business.

20. FAIR EMPLOYMENT
Contractor shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, sex, color, religion, religious creed, national origin, ancestry, age, gender, marital status, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender expression, gender identity, military and veteran status, or ethnic background, in violation of federal, state or local law.

21. NO USE OF AUTHORITY NAME OR EMBLEM
Contractor shall not use Authority’s name, insignia, or emblem, or distribute any information related to services under this Agreement in any magazine, trade paper, newspaper or other medium without express written consent of Authority.

23. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE
In case any one or more of the provisions in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect the validity of the other provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.
