SUBJECT: REAPPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Sarona Vivanco

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council adopt a resolution appointing Councilmembers Miranda and Smyth to the Santa Clarita Board of Library Trustees for a three-year term, expiring June 30, 2025.

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) has two groups that provide feedback and support to the Santa Clarita Public Library. The Community Library Forum (Forum) is comprised of stakeholders that were identified in the 2018 Library Strategic Plan, including representatives of local school districts, non-profit organizations, College of the Canyons, Friends of the Library, and the Santa Clarita Economic Development Corporation. The Forum meets quarterly to discuss library operations, policies, collections, programming, facilities, and trends.

In addition to the Forum, California Education Code (Education Code) sections 18910 through 18927 provide that a municipal public library “shall be managed by a board of library trustees” consisting of five members appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the City Council. The Education Code empowers a Board of Library Trustees with the authority to:

• Make and enforce all rules, regulations, and bylaws for the public library. • Administer trusts declared or created for the public library. • Prescribe the duties and powers of the officers and employees of the public library. • Purchase real property, erect or rent, and equip such buildings or rooms as may be necessary.

The power granted by the Education Code to a Board of Library Trustees is considerable and comparable to that which the City Council has over the other operations of the City. By serving as the Board of Library Trustees, the City Council retains this authority.

At the April 26, 2011, meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution 11-27, appointing the Mayor and members of the City Council to serve as the trustees of the Santa Clarita Board of Library Trustees. Each trustee holds office for a term of three years. Members of the Santa Clarita Board of Library Trustees do not serve at the pleasure of the City Council and, unlike other bodies appointed by the City Council, cannot be easily removed or replaced prior to the expiration of their term of office.

It is appropriate for the City Council to consider and adopt a resolution reappointing Councilmember Miranda and Councilmember Smyth to the Board of Library Trustees for another term, expiring on June 30, 2025.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action.

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) administers 61 financially independent zones within the Landscape Maintenance District (LMD), providing landscape maintenance services through contracts with private companies. Request for Proposals (RFP) number LMD-21-22-35, for the maintenance of LMD Zone 15 (River Village) and Zone 16 (Valencia Industrial Center) was published and circulated via the City’s Bidnet system on April 7, 2022.

Unlike a bid procurement, where the recommended contract award is based upon the lowest, most responsive bid, this procurement utilizes multiple weighted criteria to evaluate and score proposals. While the price for services is a component constituting 10 percent of the weighted evaluation criteria, 65 percent of the evaluation criteria focuses on the composition and structure of the contractor’s crew, their schedule to rotate through the maintenance areas, and overall value. The following categories comprised the weighted criteria used to evaluate proposals. • Value Provided (30%)
• Rotation Schedule (20%)
• Team Composition/Crew Member Structure (15%)
• Acknowledgement and Understanding of Specifications (15%) • Proposal Amount (10%)
• References & Certifications (10%)

A multiple weighted criteria procurement reinforces performance expectations and works to ensure that vendors dedicate adequate employees to service the contract. To improve maintenance standards and enforce accountability, the solicitation also includes provisions to impose payment reductions for poor performance should the contractor fail to meet their maintenance schedule.

The City transmitted the solicitation to 323 vendors, including the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Valley Industrial Association, of which 17 vendors downloaded the RFP.

Three companies provided proposals for consideration with the results below.

PROPOSAL COMPANY LOCATION BID

POINTS

AWARDED
Proposal 1 Oakridge Landscape, Inc. Santa Clarita, CA $199,560 526.68 Proposal 2 Venco Western, Inc. Oxnard, CA $249,996 496.68 Proposal 3 American Heritage Landscape, Inc. Canoga Park, CA $143,940 359.32

In reviewing proposals, the evaluation team awarded the highest score to Oakridge Landscape, Inc. (Oakridge). The evaluation team determined that the Oakridge proposal offered the best overall value to meet the landscape maintenance needs within the two identified LMD Zones.

Oakridge’s proposal identified the best overall approach to allocating weekly labor hours among both LMD Zones 15 and 16. Additionally, Oakridge’s proposal identifies 156 combined weekly hours. Oakridge’s proposal encompasses 23 more weekly hours or 14.75 percent more hours than the second rated proposal, and 79 more weekly hours or 50 percent more hours than the third rated proposal submitted by American Heritage.
10 Packet Pg. 163

Page 3 ends

During the review process, the evaluation team’s first task is to review the operational performance component of each proposal. Operational performance includes the proposed composition/structure, number of team members, and total weekly hours of resources they intend to dedicate for managing operations to determine the overall value provided by each proposal. It is important to note that the cost of each vendor’s proposal remains sealed until all members of the evaluation team independently complete the initial review of all proposals.

Staff has completed a due-diligence review of Oakridge’s professional references and determined their work history meets the City's standards and performance expectations. Based on the above, staff recommends awarding this landscape maintenance contract to Oakridge.

As part of this action, staff is requesting the ongoing appropriations of an additional $67,368 in base budget to support recurring landscape maintenance services expenditures associated with the recommended contract award, as listed in Attachment A.

Staff also recommends increasing the annual contract expenditure authority by an additional $21,711 in Zone 15 and $29,981 in Zone 16, to allow the contractor to perform maintenance and as-needed repairs. As-needed work includes, but is not limited to, responding to emergencies, repairs or replacement of irrigation systems which are damaged or reached the end of its useful service life, replacement of dead plant material, addressing vandalism, and one-time beautification enhancement projects. This requested increase in annual contract authority will maximize operational efficiencies, allow staff to authorize the completion of as-needed work, and ensure such work is completed in a timely manner.

The increase in expenditure authority granted by the City Council does not represent any guarantee of additional compensation under the terms of the recommended contract. Beyond retaining the discretion to utilize alternative contractors as deemed necessary, all unscheduled repair work or one-time enhancement projects performed by Oakridge will continue to require staff review and advanced authorization by the City’s Special Districts Division.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Do not award contract to Oakridge Landscape, Inc.

2. Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund associated with this action. The recommended action requires an appropriation of $67,368 in additional ongoing base budget from LMD Fund 357 to sufficiently fund recurring landscape maintenance costs associated with the award of this contract.

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: June 14, 2022
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS FOR

SPECIAL DISTRICTS
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Kevin Tonoian

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt resolutions declaring the City's intention to levy assessments, preliminarily approve Engineer's Reports in connection with the Special Districts for Fiscal Year 2022-23, and set a public hearing for June 28, 2022.

2. Adopt the annual report for the Tourism Marketing District, adopt a resolution of intent to continue a business improvement area in the City of Santa Clarita designated as the Tourism Marketing District, and set a public hearing for June 28, 2022.

BACKGROUND

This procedural matter orders, approves, and sets the public hearing for the annual levy of the following special districts:

1. Landscape and Lighting District, inclusive of the City’s Landscape Maintenance District and Streetlight Maintenance District;

2. Drainage Benefit Assessment Areas (DBAA) 3, 6, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 33, 2008-1, 2008-2, 2013-1, 2014-1, 2015-1, 2017-01 and 2017-02;

3. Golden Valley Ranch Open Space Maintenance District (GVROSMD); and

4. Tourism Marketing District (TMD).

11 Packet Pg. 167

Page 2 ends

The City of Santa Clarita (City), under the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (1972 Act), and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D enacted by Proposition 218 (Constitution), annually levies and collects special assessments for the Landscape and Lighting District (LLD).

Collectively, the LLD incorporates the City’s Streetlight Maintenance District Zones A and B, and the Landscape Maintenance District Zones 1, 2, 3, 3A, 4, 5, 5A, 6, 7, 7A, 8, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 2008-1, T1, T1B, T2, T2A, T3, T3B, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T17, T20, T23, T23-1, T23-2, T23A, T23B, T29, T31-1, T31-1A, T31-2, T33, T44, T46, T47, T48, T51, T52, T62, T65, T65A, T65B, T67, T68, T69, T71, and T77.

The attached resolutions relate to the preliminary Engineer's Reports for the City’s Special Districts, prepared by Willdan Financial Services for approval by the City Council. These Special Districts include the Landscape and Lighting District, the DBAA, the GVROSMD and the Santa Clarita TMD.

This action also schedules a public hearing to consider the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 assessment rates recommended for these special districts. If approved, the public hearing ordering the FY 2022-23 levies will be scheduled for the June 28, 2022, City Council meeting.

Descriptions of the City’s Special Districts are provided below.

Landscape Maintenance District (LMD)

The City has 61 financially independent LMD zones, primarily administered through contracts, which encompass over 2,000 acres of landscape areas including landscaped slopes and parkways, side-panels, numerous monument signs, and more than 29 miles of paseos. The City also maintains area-wide amenities located throughout Santa Clarita including 47 linear miles of landscaped medians, park facilities, and approximately 65,000 street trees located within the public right-of-way.

Each of the 61 LMD zones, comprising 55,379 residential and non-residential parcels, include landscape and ornamental improvements that provide special benefits to properties throughout Santa Clarita. In total, 80 percent of all parcels throughout the City are located within one or more LMD zones and fund these landscape amenities through special assessments appearing on their consolidated annual property tax bill.

The operating budget of a typical LMD encompasses expenditures that include contractual landscape maintenance, water and electrical utilities, plant replacements, administration, scheduled and unanticipated repairs, and monitoring services. On average, contractual landscape maintenance services represent 26.5 percent of the total annual operational cost. A typical landscape maintenance contract term is two years with three incremental one-year renewal options.

In zones where parcel owners have authorized assessment rate escalators, the maximum annual assessment rate adjusts automatically every year by an amount equal to the annual Consumer 11 Packet Pg. 168

Page 3 ends

Price Index (CPI) for the month of December. Independent of these escalators, the City Council maintains the discretion to levy assessment rates up to, or less than, the maximum assessment rate, with all levies ultimately approved as part of a noticed public hearing.

For FY 2022-23, the CPI increase as of December 2021, is 6.57 percent. The CPI escalators allow the City to maintain and provide a consistent level of landscape service to each LMD zone, as maintenance costs increase from year to year. The CPI escalators allow the City to be responsive to requests identified by the community for new projects, and maintain adequate funds to support future capital reserve needs.

The City takes a conservative fiscal approach to the management of its LMD zones, having implemented many cost-saving measures and aggressively rebidding landscape contracts to ensure operational costs remain competitive. For FY 2022-23, staff is recommending the City Council levy less than the maximum allowable rate for 41 of 61, or 67 percent, of the City's LMD zones. A complete listing of recommended levy amounts for all LMD zones is attached to this report.

In instances where individual zones do not meet their financial operational and reserve goals, staff is recommending levying the maximum assessment rate. As an annual practice, staff has included an LMD rate history, which identifies each LMD zone and provides assessment levy information for each of the last five fiscal years.

In May 2022, the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCVWA) implemented Stage II of their Water Shortage Contingency Plan. As water conservation continues to be a priority for Santa Clarita, many of the directives outlined in the first two stages of this contingency plan represent foundational components of the City’s operations.

Organizationally, the City has been preparing for the current drought conditions five years prior to the last State-wide drought in 2015. Beginning in 2010, the City undertook efforts to upgrade all 722 of its irrigation devices to smart controller technology, furthering Santa Clarita’s philosophy to be good stewards of our natural resources.

Cumulatively, the City’s LMD operation has saved more than 2.4 billion gallons of water through water efficiency efforts over the last 12 years. Beyond reducing our water consumption, staff anticipates integrating the use of reclaimed water into our LMD and parks operations.

Facilities including the Vista Canyon Multi-Modal Center and new park sites are ready to accept reclaimed water once the Vista Canyon Water Recycling Facility comes online in the second half of calendar year 2022.

Streetlight Maintenance District (SMD)

The SMD supports operations and maintenance of the City’s streetlights and traffic signals. The California Public Utilities Commission formally approved the sale of the streetlight system from Southern California Edison (Edison) in May 2018. As of April 2022, the City has acquired and accepted for maintenance 17,598 streetlights with energy efficient light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures.

11 Packet Pg. 169

Page 4 ends

Consistent with the City Council’s original commitment to the community, in FY 2020-21 the City began passing along net operational savings realized by purchasing the streetlight system to property owners in the form of reduced assessments.

All parcels receiving special benefit from the streetlight system financially contribute to the SMD. The composition of the SMD encompasses parcels that are assessed at either the Zone A or Zone B rate.

Parcels contributing to Zone A are part of the original district formed by Los Angeles County prior to the City’s incorporation and pay an annual fixed assessment rate of $12.38.

Parcels annexed into the SMD following transfer from Los Angeles County to Santa Clarita in 1997 contribute to Zone B, and pay an annual assessment rate that can be adjusted each year by the change in the CPI. The current maximum assessment rate for FY 2021-22 is $88.12 per equivalent benefit unit (EBU).

The assessment rate for parcels located in Zone A will remain at a rate of $12.38. The assessment methodology for parcels located in Zone A does not include a CPI escalator provision. As a result, properties in Zone A receive subsidized streetlight services, as State law does not allow the City to increase this assessment rate without first securing property owner approval.

While the maximum FY 2022-23 streetlight assessment rate for parcels located in Zone B is set to adjust by the annual change in CPI to $93.91, staff recommends holding the rate at $66.00 per EBU or $27.91 less than the maximum allowable assessment. This marks the fourth consecutive year in which the City has levied an assessment for parcels located in Zone B that is less than the maximum rate allowable by law, and the second straight year the rate has been held at $66.00.

Despite incremental increases imposed by Edison beginning in March of 2020, resulting in an

88.9 percent increase to the energy charge component of their monthly service cost, staff’s ability to recommend setting the coming year’s rate at 30 percent less than the maximum assessment is a direct result of the City Council’s decision to purchase Santa Clarita’s Streetlight System.

These operational savings will also expedite paydown of revenue bonds issued to finance the purchase of the streetlight system and conversion to LED fixtures. The City’s current annual debt service is $860,063, with all bonds originally scheduled for retirement in FY 2046-47. To reduce the amount of debt service, or total interest payments, tied to bond financing, the City will retire all bonds by September 2028. This action will save property owners approximately $6.2 million in interest.

Drainage Benefit Assessment Areas (DBAA)

The City is responsible for administering 15 DBAAs. Each DBAA benefits properties by preventing groundwater from rising and channeling surface or sub-surface water to drainage areas. This operation includes the use and management of multiple pump stations, hydro-augers, 11 Packet Pg. 170

Page 5 ends

monitoring and observation wells, terrace drains, and swale drains. For FY 2022-23, staff recommends levying the maximum rate for 12 of the 15 DBAAs, inclusive of the 6.57 percent change in CPI.

Golden Valley Ranch Open Space Maintenance District (GVROSMD)

As a condition of project approval, the City Council required the Golden Valley Ranch development to create an open space maintenance district. The GVROSMD is comprised of 920 acres of natural and undeveloped land and administered by the City through contracts for park ranger services. This assessment also supports trail maintenance and open space management within the boundaries of the GVROSMD.

For FY 2022-23, staff recommends the City Council levy the maximum allowable rate of $197.38 for single-family residential units and $78.38 for single-family condominium units, inclusive of the 6.57 percent change in CPI.

Tourism Marketing District (TMD)

The City Council established the TMD as part of the 21-Point Business Plan for Progress. Local hotels participating in the TMD pay two percent of total room rents charged and received from hotel guests who do not make the hotel their principal place of residence. The TMD generates funds to market the City as a tourism destination and attract high-quality, high-economic impact events to Santa Clarita.

The TMD is authorized by the Parking and Business Area Law of 1989 (Section 36500 et. seq. of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California). This state code permits the City to levy assessments on businesses within a business improvement area and to use such proceeds for the benefit of the businesses within said area.

TOURISM MARKETING DISTRICT

HOTEL TOURISM MARKETING BENEFIT ZONE

Proposed System of Assessment (Methodology)

The proposed system of assessments is designed to generate revenue from hotels in the City to provide a method of funding public programs and activities that will promote the City and hotels as a tourist destination. The City's hotels comprise the Benefit Zone and are the only business proposed to be assessed. An annual assessment is to be levied against hotels based on the benefits they derive from the program of activities. Businesses located outside the Benefit Zone (i.e., all non-hotel businesses) would not be assessed as they derive only, at most, an indirect benefit from the program of activities.

Any modification to the Benefit Zone or program of activities for which the assessments are proposed to be levied would be subject to notification of all businesses within the Area and a public hearing before the City Council. At such public hearing, the City Council shall hear all protests and receive evidence, including written protests, for and against such modification.

Each business in the Benefit Zone shall pay a charge of 2 percent of total room rents charged and received from transient hotel guests who do not make the hotel their principal place of residence.

Once the system of charges is established, it cannot be changed without written notice to all businesses in the Area and a public hearing held by the City Council. At such public hearing, the City Council shall hear all protests and receive evidence, including written protests, for and against such changes.

Charges will be collected by the City of Santa Clarita, with the funds being remitted to a special fund of the City for expenditure in accordance with its adopted annual budget as presented by the Advisory Committee appointed by the City Council.

The most important criteria is the financial health of each zone's reserve. Our goal is to have 50% of a zones' annual operating cost in "reserve" and identify funds to be used in support of future capital reserve needs. The following formula identifies the City's standard we strive for: total reserve is equal to or greater than one year's assessment.

Where the reserve meets this criteria, the reserve goal is considered "met". And where the reserve fails to meet this criteria, the reserve goal is considered "unmet". ◦ 41 of 61 Zones (67%) - Levied less than the maximum
◦ 47 of 61 Zones (11%) - Zero levy assessment

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: June 14, 2022
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 ANNUAL LEVY FOR OPEN SPACE

PRESERVATION DISTRICT
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Kevin Tonoian

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution initiating proceedings for the levy and collection of assessments within the Open Space Preservation District for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

2. Adopt a resolution declaring the City's intention to levy assessments, preliminarily approve an Engineer's Report in connection with the Open Space Preservation District for Fiscal Year 2022-23, and set a public hearing for June 28, 2022.

BACKGROUND

In July 2007, the property owners in the City of Santa Clarita (City) overwhelmingly approved the creation of the Open Space Preservation District (OSPD) to facilitate the purchase and preservation of undeveloped land within the boundaries of the OSPD.

To meet the goals of the OSPD, the City partners with a number of public entities, including the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, Riverside Land Conservancy, The Trust for Public Land, County of Los Angeles, and Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority. Through these partnerships, the City is able to utilize and leverage OSPD funds for the purchase and maintenance of properties with grant funds, land bank mitigation funds, or other special funds.

The Santa Clarita OSPD maintains an inventory of approximately 12,000 acres throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. In the 14 years since its formation, the OSPD has acquired 3,482 acres of open space, including the pending acquisition of 132 acres encompassing Bee Canyon and recent acquisitions along the Eastern Greenbelt and in the Acton area.

12 Packet Pg. 191

The initial maximum assessment rate, as approved by the property owners of Santa Clarita, was established at $25 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). In approving the OSPD, property owners authorized the City Council to annually increase the maximum assessment rate each subsequent fiscal year by $1.00.

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22, the City Council authorized levy of the maximum OSPD assessment rate of $39.00 per EDU. The actual assessment rate in any fiscal year must be approved by the City Council prior to the levy, and may not exceed the authorized maximum assessment rate without receiving property owner approval for the increase.

For FY 2022-23, staff is recommending the City Council approve a $1.00 adjustment from the current levied assessment rate of $39.00 per EDU to the proposed levied assessment rate of $40.00 per EDU, effective July 1, 2022. If approved, this adjustment conforms to the requirements of Proposition 218, as it is equal to the maximum assessment rate for FY 2022-23 allowable by state law.

The ability to annually adjust the maximum assessment rate by $1.00 supports the bond financing utilized by the City to purchase undeveloped land for the specific purpose of expanding the greenbelt surrounding our community.

The annual debt servicing for OSPD bonds was structured in a manner that incorporates ascending debt service payments. By issuing ascending debt, the City was able to borrow against future assessment rate increases in order to maximize the size of the borrowing. In FY 2021-22, the OSPD debt service totaled $785,706, while the proposed debt service for FY 2022-23 totals $803,606.

Annual debt service costs continue to increase every year through the 30-year repayment period and will total $1,127,850 in the final year of FY 2036-37. To offset rising debt service costs, it is necessary to adjust the annual OSPD rate by the voter-approved amount each year in order to retire bond indebtedness.

The process of ordering, approving, and setting the public hearing on the annual levy of the OSPD is required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, and allows the City to continue levying assessments in FY 2022-23 for the purpose of acquiring open space properties. Upon adoption of the attached resolutions, a public hearing on ordering the FY 2022-23 OSPD levy will be scheduled for the June 28, 2022, City Council meeting.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other direction as determined by the City Council.

On June 24, 2021, the City’s Purchasing Division, in coordination with the Arts and Events Division, issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for sound and stage needs for City events. The RFQ included language on renewal options to the effect that contracts entered into as a result of the process may be renewed annually, for a maximum of three renewals. The quote was publicly advertised on BidNet, the City’s e-procurement platform. Eleven companies downloaded the RFQ, and only one bid was received. Purchasing opened the bid on July 14, 2021, with the following result:

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO INCORPORATE SENATE BILL 1, ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017, LOCAL STREETS AND

ROADS, ROAD MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION FUNDS

INTO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Shannon Pickett

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution declaring the incorporation of a list of projects proposed to be funded by Senate Bill 1, Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, Local Streets and Roads, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation for Fiscal Year 2022-23 into the Capital Improvement Program.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

On April 28, 2017, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1) to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs for California state highways, local streets, and road systems. Funds provided by SB1 will be available to the City of Santa Clarita (City) in the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). The percentage of funds allocated to the City was pre-determined by, and is pursuant to, Streets and Highways Code Section 2034(a)(1). The estimated allocation of funds for Fiscal Year 2022-23 is $5,050,659.

Local Streets and Roads funding is supported by RMRA funding, which includes portions of revenues pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2031 from the following sources:

• An additional 12 cents per gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax effective November 1, 2017.
14 Packet Pg. 199

Page 2 ends

• An additional 20 cents per gallon increase to the diesel fuel excise tax effective November 1, 2017.
• An additional vehicle registration tax called “Transportation Improvement Fee” with rates based on the value of the motor vehicle effective January 1, 2018. • An additional $100 vehicle registration tax on zero emissions vehicles (ZEV) of model year 2020 or later effective July 1, 2020.
• Annual rate increases to these taxes beginning on July 1, 2020 (July 1, 2021, for the ZEV fee) and every July 1 thereafter equal to the change in the California Consumer Price Index.

Senate Bill 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency. For this reason, California Transportation Commission (CTC) staff, in collaboration with stakeholders, developed Local Streets and Roads Funding Annual Reporting Guidelines. To be eligible for SB1 and RMRA funding, the guidelines require the City to provide annual project reporting to the CTC, specifically, a list of project(s) proposed to be funded with RMRA. All proposed projects must be adopted by a resolution by the City Council at a regular public meeting prior to the submission deadline of July 1, 2022.

The 2022-23 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program Design and Construction Project was selected to receive the SB1 RMRA funds. This project reflects the City's commitment to roadway infrastructure and supports the Santa Clarita 2025 theme of Sustaining Public Infrastructure. The Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 SB1 Project List is subject to change, as specific roadway segments will be finalized during the design process. Staff anticipates construction will begin in June 2023.

The 2021-22 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program Design and Construction Project was previously adopted by the CTC in 2021 and will continue to utilize SB1 RMRA funds for FY 2022-23. The project is currently in construction and is projected to be completed by the end of 2022.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended actions, estimated allocations of SB 1 RMRA funds (Fund 267) will be earmarked for the 2022-23 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program. Appropriation of SB 1 RMRA funds will be part of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget.

SUBJECT: SUMMARY VACATION OF EASEMENTS FOR STORM DRAIN,

STORM DRAIN INGRESS AND EGRESS AND SANITARY SEWER,

AND AN OFFER OF DEDICATION FOR PRIVATE AND FUTURE

STREET PURPOSES, BEAZLEY DRIVE (BRIDGE TO HOME)
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Amalia Marreh

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution for the summary vacation of easements for storm drain, storm drain ingress and egress and sanitary sewer, and an offer of dedication for private and future street purposes.

2. Direct the City Clerk to record the certified original resolution in the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s office.

BACKGROUND

The easements and offer of dedication to be vacated by this action were originally dedicated to the County of Los Angeles by Tract No. 40079, which recorded on June 2, 1982. The 84-foot- wide dedication is located within the Bridge to Home property located at 23031 Drayton Street, as shown on the attached Location Map. Bridge to Home has requested that the City of Santa Clarita (City) vacate its interest in these easements and offers. The easements and offer of dedication on Tract No. 40079 were for storm drain, storm drain ingress and egress and sanitary sewer, and an offer of dedication for private and future street purposes. Based on the criteria outlined below, City staff has determined that the easements and offer of dedication are not needed for future public utilities or public road purposes.

In compliance with Section 8340 of the Streets and Highways Code, City staff coordinated with public utilities and determined that there are no public utility facilities in place that would be affected by this vacation and no reservation of easement is necessary for prospective public use. 15 Packet Pg. 205

Page 2 ends

Per Part 3, Section 8333 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the legislative body of a local agency may summarily vacate an easement if any of the following conditions exists:
(a) The easement has not been used for the purpose for which it was dedicated or acquired for five consecutive years immediately preceding the proposed vacation. (b) The date of dedication or acquisition is less than five years, and more than one year, immediately preceding the proposed vacation, and the easement was not used continuously since that date.
(c) The easement has been superseded by relocation, or determined to be excess by the easement holder, and there are no other public facilities located within the easement.

City staff has determined that the easements have not been used for the purpose for which it was dedicated or acquired for and there are no other public facilities located within the easement.

Therefore, staff is recommending the easements be summarily vacated by adopting the resolution.

Per Part 3, Section 8331 of the Streets and Highways Code, the legislative body of a local agency may summarily vacate a street or highway if both of the following conditions exist:

(a) For a period of five consecutive years, the street or highway has been impassable for vehicular travel; and

(b) No public money was expended for maintenance on the street or highway during such period.

City staff has determined that both of these conditions exist, therefore, staff is recommending the easements and offer of dedication be summarily vacated by adopting the resolution for the summary vacation of easements for storm drain, storm drain ingress and egress and sanitary sewer, and an offer of dedication for private and future street purposes, as described in Exhibit “A” Legal Description and as shown on Exhibit “B” Exhibit Map of the attached resolution.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

BACKGROUND

In 2012, the City of Santa Clarita (City) annexed an unincorporated portion of Los Angeles County (North Copper Hill Annexation), which included a segment of Copper Hill Drive, from Haskell Canyon Road to David Way. Copper Hill Park, which was part of this annexation and 16 Packet Pg. 213

Page 2 ends

constructed by the County of Los Angeles, is located on the south side of Copper Hill Drive at Deer Springs Drive. Prior to annexation and thereafter, the City received numerous traffic complaints from concerned residents with regard to pedestrian crossings on Copper Hill Drive, to and from the park. Pedestrian crossings at this location have continued to increase due to park upgrades, such as shade and play structures. The Archery Range at Haskell Canyon Open Space, which is adjacent to the park, on the north side of Copper Hill Drive has also contributed to the increase in pedestrian crossing in this area.

On January 26, 2021, the City Council approved the design of a traffic signal at the intersection of Copper Hill Drive and Deer Springs Drive. The design and construction of a traffic signal at this intersection will enhance traffic safety for pedestrians, motorists, and bicyclists. The fiber optic interconnect will allow City staff to communicate to the traffic signal from the City’s Traffic Operations Center, located at City Hall.

An invitation to bid was published twice on March 24 and 31, 2022. A total of five bids were submitted to the City and opened by Purchasing on April 26, 2022. The results are shown below.

Company Location Base Bid Amount

1. Crosstown Electrical & Data, Inc. Irwindale, CA $301,372

2. Taft Electric Company Ventura, CA $316,718

3. Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. Chino, CA $377,778

4. Servitek Electric, Inc. Walnut, CA $602,853

5. Comet Electric, Inc. Chatsworth, CA $606,770

Staff recommends awarding the project to Crosstown Electrical & Data, Inc., the lowest responsive bidder, in the amount of $535,589 and authorizing a contingency in the amount of $53,559, for a total amount not to exceed $589,148. This includes the base bid of $301,372 and bid alternate items in the amount of $234,217. This contractor possesses a valid state contractor's license and is in good standing with the Contractors State License Board. The bid was reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete.

The requested budget appropriation will provide for the base bid and bid alternates, which include fiber optic interconnect along Copper Hill Drive from Haskell Canyon Road to Deer Springs Drive and from Deer Springs Drive to Buckhorn Lane.

The total project budget will provide for the construction contract, construction support costs for labor compliance services, staff oversight, inspection, and project management. The requested construction contingency will cover any unforeseen issues or additional needs that may occur during the construction process.
