DATE: February 27, 2024
SUBJECT: DRAINAGE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT AREA 2023-1 (BOUQUET CANYON) TRACT 82126
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Darin Seegmiller

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing and open and review ballots.

2. If no majority protest exists, adopt resolutions approving the Engineer's Report for Drainage Benefit Assessment Area (DBAA) 2023-1, and authorize the annual levy and collection of the assessments within DBAA 2023-1, beginning Fiscal Year 2024-25. If a majority protest exists, no action will be required.

BACKGROUND

On November 10, 2020, the City Council approved the Bouquet Canyon Project, Tentative Tract Map 82126, allowing the development of 371 residential units in the community of Saugus, on the east side of the existing Bouquet Canyon Road, and south of Copper Hill Drive. The conditions of approval for this project require establishing a homeowner's association or a comparable entity to fund the continued maintenance of any drainage improvements that are not eligible for transfer to the Los Angeles County Flood Control District for maintenance. The creation of the proposed Drainage Benefit Assessment Area (DBAA) fulfills this requirement.

The proposed DBAA 2023-1, Bouquet Canyon, assumes responsibility for administering the maintenance, reporting, monitoring, inspection, storm damage repair, and cleaning of storm- drain improvements. These include three Continuous Deflection Separation (CDS) systems, four filter units, two infiltration basins, two biofiltration basins, and one inlet with a diversion weir required for Tract No. 82126. The Urban Storm Mitigation Plan (USMP) and the project mitigation measures outlined in the environmental impact report need these devices to minimize the pollutants in urban runoff before discharging into the Santa Clara River. 1 Packet Pg. 10

Regular maintenance is required for the basins to function correctly within the design parameters. Services needed for the assessment district include inspections, removal of silt, trash, and soil debris build-up, maintenance and repairs, and an annual assessment and Engineer's Report review.

The Engineer's Report contains the proposed boundaries of DBAA 2023-1, identifies the proposed facilities and services to be funded, determines the general and special benefits received by properties, and the methodology to apportion the annual assessments. All parcels were established concurrently with the conditions set forth for the continued maintenance of landscape and infrastructure improvements. As a result, each parcel within DBAA 2023-1 receives a special and distinct benefit from these improvements.

The maximum annual assessment to maintain the improvements associated with DBAA 2023-1 will be $97,935. The annual assessment will be $294.77 per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) based on the number of units approved for construction. Parcels identified as single-family residences and Townhomes/Condominiums are assessed at 1.00 EBU per dwelling unit. Vacant parcels are assessed at a rate of .50 EBU per planned residential unit for the property or 1.00 EBU per acre if the number of planned residential units is unknown.

The maximum assessment rate will adjust yearly based on the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles Riverside-Orange County Area CPI. The actual assessment levied in any fiscal year will be approved by the City Council and may not exceed the maximum assessment rate. If approved, the City of Santa Clarita will begin levying properties in Fiscal Year 2024-25.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Do not form DBAA 2023 -1.

2. Other direction as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
All expenses associated with the DBAA will be borne by the developer. There will be no fiscal impacts to the General Fund.

Staff is currently working on a Con Plan to set the priorities for the use of CDBG funds for the next five-year period, which includes the 2024-25 Program Year (PY) through PY 2028-29. The City must also develop an Action Plan annually which outlines the specific ways the current year’s allocation of funds will be spent to meet the priorities identified in the Con Plan. A needs assessment process is conducted annually to determine the current needs of the community and inform the development of the Con Plan and/or Action Plan.

Staff conducted the 2024-25 needs assessment process in the form of the Community Needs Assessment Survey (Survey), as well as conducting in-person outreach at events in Canyon Country and Newhall. The needs identified through this process are being used to develop the 2024-25 Action Plan, as well as the 2024-28 Con Plan.

2 Packet Pg. 17

PROCESS, RESULTS, AND TRENDS

The survey was available from November 13, 2023, through January 7, 2024. Respondents were asked to rate five categories in order of importance. These categories included affordable housing, neighborhood facilities and infrastructure, homeless services, social and human services, and economic development. Respondents were also asked to select specific areas of assistance within each category based on their level of importance. In addition to scoring specific needs, respondents had the option to provide written comments.

Outreach efforts included:

• A press release issued to local news agencies;
• A social media campaign broadcasted on the City’s Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok; • A flyer distributed at City libraries and community centers; • An email link for the Survey sent to all current City CDBG service providers, members of the Santa Clarita Community Task Force on Homelessness, and other agency stakeholders; and
• Conducting in-person outreach at Canyon Country Community Day and the Newhall Farmer’s Market.

A total of 254 individuals responded to the 2024-25 Survey. The overall results of the Survey remain consistent with the results from previous years. Over the past five years, the areas of affordable rental housing and homeless shelters and services have consistently been noted as among the highest needs. Survey respondents also identified neighborhood facilities and infrastructure as a top priority.

Written comments were provided by 78 individuals. The most commonly identified issues were regarding the need for more affordable housing and homeless housing/services. The remaining comments highlighted a variety of needs, including infrastructure improvements and services for the homeless and disabled.

No formal action is being requested of the City Council at this time. The 2024-28 Con Plan, 2024-25 Action Plan, and recommended CDBG Funding Allocations will be presented to the City Council for consideration at a public hearing to be scheduled in April 2024.

DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Darin Seegmiller

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute an agreement with the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency and California Department of Water Resources, subject to City Attorney approval.

2. Appropriate $757,163 to expenditure account P3033259 (Miscellaneous Grant) and decrease expenditure account P3033271 (Measure W) by $757,163 for Via Princessa Park design; increase revenue account 259-462101 (Miscellaneous Grant) by $757,163.

BACKGROUND

Since 2006, the City of Santa Clarita (City) has collaborated with the Upper Santa Clara River Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) group for the purpose of working together with local agencies to manage available water supplies and to improve the quality, quantity, and availability of those supplies.

The IRWMP was completed and adopted by the Regional Water Management Group (RWMG).

Spearheaded by the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCVWA), the RWMG is also comprised of staff from the City, County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, the Santa Clarita Valley Sanitation District of Los Angeles County, the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, and various community stakeholders.

7 Packet Pg. 38

Additionally, the RWMG collaborates with a partner group in Ventura County known as the Watersheds Coalition of Ventura County to share information between agencies and stakeholders involved in the Santa Clara River region.

Over the past 18 years, the RWMG has held public meetings to address water-related issues, share information on water management, seek grant funds, and identify potential collaborative opportunities for projects and programs.

In 2014, Proposition 1, approved by voters, authorized $7.545 billion in general obligation bonds for water quality, supply, and infrastructure projects in California. The RWMG has successfully acquired a $10,995,000 grant during the final round of Proposition 1 funds. Notably, the City has been awarded $4,882,804 from this grant to support design ($757,163) and construction ($4,125,641) of the regional stormwater infiltration facility that has been proposed at Via Princessa Park.

To receive these funds, the City Council must approve the sub-agreement with the SCVWA.

Serving as the grant administrator for the IRWMP and the RWMG, the SCVWA has already approved and entered into a master agreement with the California Department of Water Resources. The agreement is available to review in the City Clerk's reading file.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended action, Miscellaneous Grant Fund (259) revenues will be increased by $757,163 to account for the Proposition 1 grant and the funds will be appropriated to the Via Princessa Park Design project (P3033259).

The addition of sports lighting at this Park significantly enhances the sports facilities' usability, facilitating evening practices and games. Specifically, lighting will be installed in the baseball field, practice field area, multi-use field, tennis courts, and basketball court. This project exemplifies the City's commitment to improving the quality of life of its residents and supports the Building and Creating Community theme of the Santa Clarita 2025 plan.

The Planning Commission approved the Park’s Conditional Use Permit for the lights on October 19, 2021, Resolution P21-21, and approved a Negative Declaration for the Skyline Ranch Park Lighting Project. Pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15162(a), no subsequent CEQA review is required because there are no substantial changes to the project or the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken, and no new information of substantial importance regarding the project has come to light triggering the need for a subsequent EIR for the project.

On July 11, 1995, the City Council approved "piggyback" purchasing. This process allows the City to place orders against a competitively awarded public agency contract. The Sourcewell contract with Musco Sports Lighting, LLC (Musco Sports Lighting), was competitively solicited through a nationwide bid process, was awarded in June 2023, and is valid through June 2027.

Through the piggyback approach, the City can take advantage of the Sourcewell procurement process and purchase the sports lighting equipment from Musco Sports Lighting.

An invitation for bid to complete the installation of the sports lighting and associated equipment was published on the City’s e-procurement platform, BidNet, on January 17, 2024. A total of six bids were submitted and opened on February 1, 2024. The results are shown below:

Company Location Bid Amount
Corner Keystone Construction Corporation Covina, CA $277,000 Zuma Construction Group, Inc. Thousand Oaks, CA $307,777 RAMSA Construction Inc. Sherman Oaks, CA $328,000
H&S Electric Inc. Valencia, CA $335,400
Process Cellular Inc. Vista, CA $352,280
Capital Valley Electric Sacramento, CA $381,986

Staff recommends awarding the lighting installation contract to Corner Keystone Construction Corporation, the lowest responsive bidder. The contractor possesses a valid state contractor’s license and is in good standing with the Contractors State Licensing Board. Moreover, the bid was reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete.

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

AGENDA REPORT

CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: February 27, 2024
SUBJECT: DEDICATION OF EASEMENT TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

EDISON IN TAPIA OPEN SPACE
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Susan Nelson

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the attached Grant of Easement to Southern California Edison Company, Easement APN 2865-021-903, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND
Southern California Edison (SCE) has formally requested a non-exclusive easement spanning approximately 456 square feet on the City of Santa Clarita's property, as illustrated in the attached location map. The purpose of this easement is to allow Dish Wireless (Dish) to install a wireless facility on the existing Crown Castle cell tower located on City of Santa Clarita (City) property at 26730 West Tapia Canyon Road, Castaic, California. The cell tower sits on a perpetual easement owned by Crown Castle. The non-exclusive easement extends to City Open Space Assessor Parcel Number 2865-021-903.

Dish has engaged with Crown Castle to secure antennas and ground equipment space. Dish has also submitted a power application to SCE, specifically for a Dish meter at the location above.

Upon review, SCE has confirmed the presence of power on an electrical pole approximately 65 feet north of the cell tower. Southern California Edison proposes to trench the power line from the existing utility pole south to the meter, strategically placed within the fenced lease area.

Recognizing that the City owns the property in question, Dish has requested SCE to facilitate the establishment of an easement to cover the power route from the pole to the cell tower. This easement aligns with SCE's standard specifications.

9 Packet Pg. 47

The anticipated timeline for completing the necessary work is approximately three to four weeks, during which Tapia Open Space will remain open to the public. Additionally, as part of the agreement, the City will receive a one-time payment of $100 from SCE upon granting the easement.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended action, Southern California Edison will remit to the City of Santa Clarita $100, and the funds will be receipted into the General Fund (100-462101).

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

AGENDA REPORT

CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: February 27, 2024
SUBJECT: VALENCIA COMMUNITY CENTER POOL RENOVATION P1018 DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Susan Nelson

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Valencia Community Center Pool Renovation Project P1018.

2. Award a construction contract for renovation services to National Pools, Inc., in the amount of $288,938 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $43,340, for a total contract amount not to exceed $332,278.

3. Find the Valencia Community Center Pool Renovation Project P1018 exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Article 19, Section 15301.

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

BACKGROUND
In 2023, the City of Santa Clarita (City) acquired the former Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) building on McBean to establish a new community center in the Valencia area. The 12,000-square-foot facility boasts designated areas for offices, childcare services, and group exercise activities. At the center of the building is a 4½-foot deep indoor pool designed to accommodate learn-to-swim and water exercise programs.

Before the building was acquired, City staff evaluated the condition of the building, the pool, and associated equipment. The evaluation determined that the pool had not been re-plastered since it was initially built in 1988. This finding was supported by the discoloration and cracking 10 Packet Pg. 56

throughout the pool plaster. Consequently, it was determined that upon assuming ownership of the building, the pool would require re-plastering and the mechanical equipment would need replacement. The City hired a consultant specializing in commercial pools to facilitate this renovation. The consultant was tasked with providing comprehensive construction documents and outlining the scope of work required for the pool's refurbishment.

An invitation for bids was subsequently published in the local newspaper on December 19 and 26, 2023, and posted on the City’s website. Two bids were submitted and opened on January 22, 2024. The results of the bids are shown below:

Company Location Total Bid
USA Pools, Inc. Cumming, GA $236,226
National Pools, Inc. Sylmar, CA $288,938

Upon reviewing the bids, staff determined the response from the apparent low bidder, USA Pools Inc., to be non-responsive for failure to provide the Bid Bond Form by the deadline. Therefore, staff recommends awarding the contract to the next lowest bidder, National Pools, Inc. (National Pools). The contractor possesses a valid state contractor’s license and is in good standing with the Contractors State Licensing Board. Furthermore, the bid from National Pools was reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Adequate funds were appropriated as part of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget in expenditure account P1018723-516101 to support the recommended contract and related administrative and miscellaneous costs for this project

PRESENTER: Shannon Pickett

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Approve the plans and specifications for the 2022-23 Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program, Project M1038.

2. Find the 2022-23 Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Article 19, Section 15301.

3. Award the construction contract to Slater Waterproofing, Inc., in the amount of $272,660 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $27,266, for a total contract amount not to exceed $299,926.

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

BACKGROUND

The annual Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program addresses necessary repairs to paseo bridges to maintain them in good serviceable condition. In 2017, inspections were performed on each of the 34 paseo bridges within the City of Santa Clarita (City) to prepare a five-year plan to identify the ongoing maintenance and painting needs of the bridges. Each bridge received an overall condition rating based upon the condition of its major components, including deck surface, superstructure (all exposed metalwork), substructure (bridge footings and mounting attachments/bearing pads), and approaches.
11 Packet Pg. 63

Eighteen of the 34 bridges have previously been repaired as part of the Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program. The 2022-23 Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program includes three bridges, located at McBean Parkway at Sunset Hills Drive, McBean Parkway at the Mall Entrance, and El Paseo Drive at Alberto Court, as shown on the attached location map. These bridges require new joint seals, repair of cracks in the approach slab, repair of stucco finishes, cleaning and painting of bearing pad assemblies, painting of bottom side of structural steel deck, painting of steel truss members, painting of steel roof members, and other minor work. This program is an integral part of maintaining the City's paseo bridges, and supports the Sustaining Public Infrastructure theme of the City of Santa Clarita’s five-year strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025.

The 2022-23 Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Article 19, Section 15301, which exempts from CEQA review projects that consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Examples include, but are not limited to, existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities. This project meets the criteria for this exemption because it will be performing repairs and maintenance to the existing bridges.

An invitation to bid was prepared and published twice in The Signal newspaper, on December 13 and 20, 2023, and was posted on BidNet. A total of four bids were submitted to the City and opened by Purchasing on January 17, 2024. Each of the bids included a base bid and five alternate bid items. The basis for award was the total for the base bid. The results of the total base bids are shown below:

Company Location Bid Amount
Slater Waterproofing, Inc. Montclair, CA $235,985
Color New Co. Woodland Hills, CA $259,450
AJ Fistes Corporation San Pedro, CA $361,314
Harbor Coating & Restoration Orange, CA $380,600

Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Slater Waterproofing, Inc., the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, in the amount of $272,660, which includes $235,985 for the base bid, $36,675 for alternate bid items one through three, and authorizing a contingency in the amount of $27,266 for a total contract amount not to exceed $299,926. This contractor possesses a valid state contractor’s license and is in good standing with the Contractors State License Board. Staff reviewed the bid response for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and found it to be complete. The bid proposal adheres to the project’s plans and specifications and is available in the City Clerk’s Reading File.

The requested construction contingency will cover the cost of unforeseen site conditions such as potential utility conflicts and fees, abandoned utilities not shown in record drawings, field adjustments, additional work requested by the City, and unanticipated costs associated with nighttime work.

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: February 27, 2024
SUBJECT: UPDATE TO SPEED HUMP/CUSHION PROGRAM
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Joel Bareng

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council approve the update to the Citywide Speed Hump/Cushion Program (Program), which will allow an individual property owner to request a speed hump/cushion evaluation. The City of Santa Clarita would assume responsibility of surveying affected property owners on the subject street and the costs associated with Program implementation.

BACKGROUND
On July 13, 2010, the City Council adopted a Citywide Speed Hump/Cushion Program (Program). The Program established procedures and criteria for the installation of speed humps/cushions on residential streets. On July 10, 2018, the City Council updated the Program to change the minimum average daily traffic volume requirement from 2,000 vehicles to 1,500 vehicles.

The City of Santa Clarita (City) has successfully installed speed humps/cushions on the following residential streets: Benz Road, Alaminos Drive, Canterwood Drive, Contessa Avenue, Franwood Drive, Abelia Road, Thompson Ranch Drive, Pamplico Drive, Ermine Street, Dorothy Street, and Santa Catarina Road. In each instance, the installation of speed humps/cushions has reduced prevailing speeds as compared to pre-installation conditions.

The Program was designed so that requesting a speed hump/cushion study was initiated by a Neighborhood Watch Group or Homeowners Association (HOA). Neighborhood Watch Groups are no longer an option; therefore residential areas without an HOA have been excluded from the Program. This update will redesign the Program so that a single property owner with an address on the subject street can make an evaluation request.

The current Program requires that 67 percent of the property owners along the affected street support installation of speed humps/cushions. This has put a burden on the property owners of neighborhoods desiring speed humps/cushions by requiring them to coordinate a large mailing or 12 Packet Pg. 67

door-to-door effort. This update will remove that requirement, authorizing City staff to perform the neighborhood survey.

The current Program also states the cost to install speed cushions shall be borne by the property owners of the subject street through formation of a benefit assessment district. To date, the City has funded installation of all speed cushions - this update will bring the Program into conformance with existing practice. If a subject street meets both minimum street/traffic criteria and resident support, as outlined in the Program Package, the subject street will be added to the City's speed cushion priority list, with installation subject to funding and City Council approval.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Adequate funds are available in the Traffic and Transportation Planning Administration (1004400) budget for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 to support the recommended action.

SPEED HUMP/CUSHION PROGRAM PACKAGE

Updated by City Council 2/27/2024

12.a

Attachment: Speed Cushion Package 2024 (UPDATE TO SPEED HUMP/CUSHION PROGRAM)

Speed Hump/Cushion Program
2 On July 13, 2010, the City of Santa Clarita (City) City Council adopted procedures and policies to allow the placement of speed humps/cushions on City-maintained roads. Speed humps/cushions are designed to discourage speeding. Speed cushions have gaps or “cutouts” that enable large emergency vehicles to pass through without the need to reduce their speed and are the preferred method for City installation.

On residential streets that experience excessive speed – where 85% of drivers drive at least five miles per hour (mph) over the speed limit, or 30 mph or greater – studies have shown that speed humps/cushions decrease the 85th percentile speed by 4-6 mph.

Speed Humps/Cushions Requirements

A Homeowners Association (HOA) or property owner living on the subject street interested in having speed cushions installed must submit a Speed Hump/Speed Cushion Request Form to the City.

To be eligible for consideration of speed humps/cushions, a residential street must:
• Have a speed limit of 25 mph,
• Be at least 500 feet long, among other physical requirements (see page 4), • Have at least 1,500 vehicles using it every day,
• 85% of drivers must travel at 30 mph or greater, as observed during a City-conducted traffic study, and
• 67% of property owners on the subject street must support installation of speed cushions, based on a City-conducted survey.

Requesting Speed Cushions

The Speed Hump/Speed Cushion Request Form (see page 7) can be sent to the City’s Traffic and Transportation Division by email at [email protected] or mail:

City of Santa Clarita
Traffic and Transportation Planning Division
23920 Valencia Blvd., Suite 300
Santa Clarita, CA 91355

Property owners can also submit a virtual form at SantaClarita.gov/RSC.

This Speed Hump/Cushion Program Packet will provide detailed information on request procedures and street criteria, address frequently asked questions, and includes the Speed Hump/Speed Cushion Request Form.

For additional information, contact the Traffic Division at (661) 255-4942.

3 Procedures for Installing Speed Cushions

1. A Homeowners Association (HOA) or individual property owner that believes the residents on their street will support the installation of speed humps/speed cushions must submit a Speed Hump/Speed Cushion Study request Form to the City (see page 7).

2. City staff will conduct a formal evaluation, including collecting traffic speed and volume measurements and reviewing the traffic accident history for the subject street (see Street Criteria on page 4). Staff will also consult with the Sheriff’s Department, Fire Department and Transit Division. (Note: City shall use speed and volume data to determine limits of affected property owners.)

3. If the required minimum street criteria for speed humps/speed cushions are met, the City will send a survey form to all abutting property owners on the subject street as determined by the traffic survey. Each survey form received back by the City must contain full name, address, and signature of the property owner. Any survey form with incomplete information is subject to rejection. If no response is received from an address, City staff will make at least two attempts on separate days to contact the property owner.

4. At least 67% of the abutting property owners on the subject street, as determined by the traffic survey, must support installation of speed cushions. Upon verification of the survey, the HOA or property owners will be notified in writing of the results of the survey.

5. If the subject street meets both the minimum street criteria and property owner support, the subject street will be added to the City’s speed cushion priority list.

6. Based on available funding and approval by the City Council, the City will proceed with installation of speed humps/speed cushions.

4 Street Criteria for Speed Cushion Installation

1. Street Type: The street must have a 25 mph speed limit and meet the definition of a “Residence District,” where there are at least 13 homes on one side of the street or 16 homes on both sides of the street within a quarter-mile (California Vehicle Code § 515).

2. Traffic Volume: Street shall have a minimum daily volume of 1,500 vehicles.

3. Traffic Speeds: A speed survey conducted by the City shall demonstrate that 85% of drivers travel at 30 mph or more (the 85th percentile speed is greater than 30 mph).

4. Street Length: Street shall have a minimum length of 500 feet.

5. Street Width: Street shall have only one lane in each direction.

6. Street Grade: Street shall not exceed an average sustained grade of six percent.

7. Request: Speed Hump/Speed Cushion Request Form must come from a Homeowners Association (HOA) or a property owner on the subject street.

8. Petition: At least two-thirds of the affected property owners (abutting properties) on the subject street shall vote in favor of the speed hump/speed cushion.

9. Parallel Streets: Speed hump/speed cushion installation should not cause diversion of traffic to other residential streets, to the satisfaction of the City Traffic Engineer.

10. Other Physical Considerations: Other physical characteristics that may limit the feasibility of speed hump/speed cushions on a particular street include locations of driveways, locations of access covers to underground utilities, locations of catch basins and other drainage structures, existing drainage issues or difficulties, and visibility for safe stopping distance from speed hump/speed cushion.

11. Removal Policy: The removal of any speed cushion or series of speed cushions shall be based on a two-thirds vote of affected property owners (abutting properties) on the subject street. No property owner initiated removals shall be considered within 36 months after speed cushion installation to allow sufficient time for the speed cushions to have the desired traffic-calming effect.

5 Frequently Asked Questions

What is a speed cushion?

Speed cushions in the City typically consist of three-to-four raised mounds that are similar to traditional speed humps in that they are designed to discourage speeding. Speed cushions allow emergency vehicles to pass through freely and can have less of an impact on bicyclists and motorcyclists than speed humps.

Are speed cushions effective?

Speed humps/cushions have been
shown to reduce the speed of vehicles
on residential streets. Studies indicate
the 85th percentile speed (the speed at
which 85% of all vehicles travel)
decreased 4 to 6 miles per hour after
speed humps/cushions were installed.

Will a speed cushion affect emergency
response times to my home?

No, speed cushions are designed to have
a negligible impact on emergency
vehicle access. Emergency vehicles can
pass over the speed cushions at or near
the speed limit.

Can speed cushions be installed on any street?

Speed humps/cushions are not intended for use on all streets. They are permitted on residential streets maintained by the City that have a minimum length of 500 feet, posted or prima facie speed limit of 25 mph, daily traffic volume of at least 1,500 vehicles, and do not exceed a sustained grade of six percent. Streets that meet this criteria will be evaluated by City staff to determine if traffic volumes warrant speed cushion installation.

Who can request speed cushions? What does the process look like?

An individual property owner with an address on the subject street or the HOA that governs the subject street can submit a Speed Hump/Cushion Study Request Form for speed hump consideration. After the City receives the request, City staff will evaluate if the subject street meets the physical and traffic criteria for speed cushions, and if met, will determine and survey affected property owners abutting the subject street. With two-thirds support for speed cushions from surveyed property owners on the subject street, the street will be listed on the City’s speed cushion priority list, with installation subject to funding and City Council approval.

6 Who pays for the traffic study, property owner survey, and installation of speed cushions?

The City is responsible for all costs associated with studying, surveying, and installing speed cushions and is also responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the speed cushions.

How do I know if my neighbors will be interested in having speed cushions installed?

If you observe a large number of vehicles speeding on your street, your neighbors may share your concerns. Some neighbors may be opposed to speed cushions for the following reasons:
• The additional traffic signs, street painting, and speed cushions detract from the appearance of the neighborhood.
• Parking on some areas of the street may be limited due to placement of the speed cushions. • Some drivers may speed up between speed cushions to make up for perceived time lost. • Some residents report that noise levels increase with vehicles going over speed cushions.

I live on a private street – can I participate in this program?

The City does not have jurisdiction over private streets. This Speed Hump/Cushion Program only applies to residential streets that are maintained by the City and meet the street criteria defined on Page 4 of this packet. If you aren’t sure if you live on a private street, call the Traffic Division at (661) 255-4942.

Can speed cushions be removed?

Property owners on the subject street can request that speed cushions be removed. The City will conduct a survey, and with two-thirds agreement, will remove the speed cushions.

DATE: February 27, 2024
SUBJECT: VETERANS HISTORICAL PLAZA SIGNAGE
DEPARTMENT: Economic Development
PRESENTER: Phil Lantis

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council approve the request to add a sign at the Veterans Historical Plaza.

BACKGROUND

Eagle Scout Ron-Paul Tamayo is requesting to install a sign at the Veterans Historical Plaza (Vets Plaza) containing a Quick Response (QR) Code that will connect visitors to a website he is creating. Visitors will be able to hear recorded interviews with local veterans from all of the conflicts since World War II. The sign would be located in near proximity to the Fallen Warriors Monument. As part of his Eagle Scout project, Mr. Tamayo will be responsible for all of the costs associated with the sign installation and the development of the website.

The three steps for improvements and modifications to be made at Vets Plaza must be reviewed by the Santa Clarita Valley Veterans Memorial, Inc. (SCV Veterans) organization, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Commission (Commission), and shared with the City Council for approval, as described in the City of Santa Clarita Veterans Historical Plaza Special Use Facility Policy.

The proposed sign and the overall project were shared with SCV Veterans for their review and feedback. This item was presented to the Commission at their meeting held on February 1, 2024.

The Commission supported the request to be presented to the City Council for approval.

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: February 27, 2024
SUBJECT: CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF A TRANSIT BUSINESS

INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM
DEPARTMENT: Economic Development
PRESENTER: Adrian Aguilar

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award a contract to TransSIGHT to develop a transit analytics platform and provide three years of licensing and support for a total contract amount not to exceed $374,988.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contract documents, or modify the award in the event issues of impossibility of performance arise, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

Santa Clarita Transit has served the residents of our City since 1992. In the 32 years since, technology in the industry has exponentially grown in scale, variety, and complexity. As a data- driven organization, the City adopted several of these technologies which have dramatically improved operational efficiency and transformed the transit rider experience. The City now employs several systems that collect and produce critical data needed to run a modern transit service. Examples of data being collected include real-time bus arrival information, passenger boarding data, the on-time performance of our buses, fare revenue data and vehicle maintenance and fuel consumption information.

As data complexity continues to grow, new analytical tools are needed to generate valuable insights. Powerful data analytics platforms are available which are capable of ingesting, aggregating, and analyzing data from different sources to generate new levels of insights. These platforms act as a clearinghouse that is capable of processing data from multiple systems and data languages and consolidating them into a single source of truth.

14 Packet Pg. 83

The goal of this project is to procure a system that allows City staff to leverage its existing data to identify new correlations and relationships in the data, dive deeper into performance metrics, respond timely to data trends, produce more meaningful reports, and make greater impactful data-driven decisions.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) for this project was prepared and posted on Bidnet on August 24, 2023. On October 17, 2023, eight companies submitted proposals. The RFP was conducted in compliance with federal procurement standards. The eight responsive companies were:

Company Location
BI Consulting Services Charlotte, NC
California Creative Solutions Poway, CA
Dimensional Insight Burlington, MA
Dynamgenix IT Corp Atlanta, GA
Jarvus Innovations Philadelphia, PA
Nexvisionix Irvine, CA
TransSIGHT Pleasanton, CA
TransTrack Systems Cedar Rapids, IA

Written proposals were scored according to four categories: proposer qualifications and capabilities of the system (40 points), experience on similar projects (15 points), approach to providing services (15 points), and cost of materials and services provided (30 points). A panel of four City staff members evaluated and scored all responsive proposals. The figures below represent an average of the individual staff scores.

The results of the evaluation are shown below. Included are the costs from each proposal when factoring in three years of licensing and support:

Company Total Score
(/100 pts) Initial Proposal Cost
Dimensional Insight 83.75 $384,816
TransSIGHT 76.25 $549,840
Jarvus Innovations 73.50 $2,133,726
TransTrack Systems 71.25 $720,099
California Creative Solutions 71.25 $2,819,705
BI Consulting Services 66.50 $338,737
Nexvisionix 55.50 $414,000
Dynamgenix IT Corp 24.25 $2,642,158
14 Packet Pg. 84

After employing the aforementioned scoring procedures and factoring in budget constraints, TransSIGHT, Dimensional Insight, TransTrack Systems and BI Consulting Services were selected to meet with the evaluation panel and demo the proposed system. The four bidders were scored again using the methodology above. The top three firms were then asked to submit their best and final cost proposal to the City. The best and final cost proposals were scored on a sliding scale with the lowest cost receiving a maximum of 30 points. The original scores were then combined with the interview scores for a maximum of 200 points, and each firm was ranked as follows.

Company Total
(/200) Best and Final Cost
TransSIGHT 170.75 $374,988
Dimensional Insight 168.75 $311,697
TransTrack Systems 142.50 $720,099
BI Consulting Services 138.00 $338,737

TransSIGHT was the top-ranked bidder at 170.75 points. While all the top bidders are capable and have excellent references, TransSIGHT’s platform has more advanced ad-hoc reporting tools, enabling Transit staff to easily compare data sets without limitation. In addition, TransSIGHT demonstrated stronger mastery of the data through their robust cross-source data validation and correlation process, which enables data to be checked and validated, furthering the City’s priority for a platform that can act as a single source of truth. TransSIGHT also demonstrated that they have successfully integrated their proposed system with a number of the City’s existing data providers and sources including Connexionz, Cubic, Trapeze, UTA and Twillio.

As a result of the overall evaluation process, staff recommends that TransSIGHT be awarded the project for transit data analytics platform as they provide the greatest value to the City.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Direct staff to reissue an RFP to procure a transit data analytics platform.

2. Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. The City has programmed Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant funds to cover 80 percent of the total contractual costs. The remaining 20 percent will be using Municipal Operating Service Improvement Program (MOSIP) funds. Adequate funds to support this contract are available in the Transit Capital Outlay Expenditure account 7003702-516101.

BACKGROUND

The Santa Clarita Valley Sanitation District (District), formerly known as County Sanitation District Nos. 26 and 32, provides wastewater treatment services within the District’s service area.

To provide wastewater treatment service to properties located outside the District’s service area, the boundary must be expanded through the annexation process. As part of this process, a tax- sharing resolution to provide the required funding to the District is adopted by the public agency responsible for providing services to the subject property.

Local agencies receiving an apportionment of the property tax from the annexing area, including cities and utility districts, must determine the percentage of tax revenues to be exchanged between the affected agencies. Listed below are the annual tax increment percentages attributable to the land area involved in the corresponding annexation and to be transferred to the District:

The annexations consist of the following (see attached resolutions with corresponding maps):

Annexation No. 1116 – A proposed development of 492 single-family homes. This proposed development is located at the north end of Shadow Pines Boulevard, northeast along Tick Canyon Road. The majority of the proposed development is located in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County; however, a small portion is located within City limits. The parcels that are located within City limits are identified by APNs 2854-021-004, 2854-021- 023,-025, and -026. This agenda report pertains only to the portion of the development within the City.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Support AB 1772 (Ramos), AB 1779 (Irwin), AB 1802 (Jones-Sawyer), AB 1804 (Patterson), AB 1848 (Davies), SB 905 (Wiener), SB 923 (Archuleta), and SB 928 (Niello).

2. Transmit position statements to the authors of the bills, Santa Clarita’s state legislative delegation, appropriate legislative committees, Governor Newsom, and other stakeholder organizations.

BACKGROUND
The following state legislative items were presented to the City Council Legislative Committee on February 13, 2024. Included as part of this report is a brief summary of each piece of legislation and its current status in the state legislative process. All of the state legislative items are related to public safety and various attempts to amend Proposition 47 (2014).

Proposition 47 (2014) titled, “The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act,” reduced penalties for certain property and drug offenses from felonies or wobblers, which could be charged as either a felony or misdemeanor. Under previous state law, shoplifting property worth $950 or less, a type of petty theft, was a misdemeanor. However, such crimes could also be charged as burglary instead, if the shoplifter intended to shoplift upon entering the store, which could be prosecuted as a felony and sentenced up to three years in prison.

Proposition 47 (2014) was approved by voters (59.6 percent - 40.4 percent) on November 4, 2014, and went into effect on November 5, 2014. However, at the City level, the measure failed with 47.19 percent in favor and 52.81 percent against.
16 Packet Pg. 161

With the approval of Proposition 47 (2014), shoplifting property worth $950 or less is a misdemeanor, regardless of intent, and holds a sentence of up to one year in county jail and/or a fine up to $1,000.

According to the Public Policy Institute of California which had researchers testify to the State Assembly Select Committee on Retail Theft, overall felony retail theft increased by 16 percent in 2022 compared to 2019. Commercial robbery, which includes thefts in which force is used or threatened, like some smash-and-grab thefts, increased by 13 percent over the same time period.

Assembly Bill 1772

Introduced by Assembly Member James Ramos (D-45-San Bernardino), Assembly Bill 1772 amends Proposition 47 (2014) by reinstating the ability to charge a repeat offender, convicted of petty theft or shoplifting and who has two or more prior theft-related offenses, with a felony.

Subsequent to passage by the state legislature and approval by the Governor, this bill would become effective only if approved by a majority of voters through a ballot initiative at the next statewide general election.

Assembly Bill 1772 was introduced on January 3, 2024, and referred to the Assembly Committee on Public Safety. A hearing date had not been scheduled at the time this report was developed.

Assembly Bill 1779

Introduced by Assembly Member Jacqui Irwin (D-42-Thousand Oaks), Assembly Bill 1779 expands the jurisdictional authority for city and county prosecutors to prosecute thefts that occur across jurisdictions.

Current law restricts cross jurisdictional prosecution of many crimes, including theft by fraud, organized retail theft, and receiving stolen property to the Attorney General. This legislation seeks to expand the jurisdictional authority of local prosecutors in an effort to better target thefts involving criminal networks and organized crimes.

Assembly Bill 1779 was introduced on January 3, 2024, and referred to the Assembly Committee on Public Safety. A hearing date had not been scheduled at the time this report was developed.

Assembly Bill 1802

Introduced by Assembly Member Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-57-South Los Angeles), Assembly Bill 1802 extends the sunset to January 1, 2031, for (1) special sentences for organized retail theft to be punishable as a felony and (2) continuation of a statewide taskforce led by the California Highway Patrol to combat organized retail theft.

During the 2018 legislative year, the State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1065 (Jones- Sawyer), which made retail theft three or more times within a one-year period that exceeded $950 in value, punishable as a felony. Additionally, the bill established the California Highway 16 Packet Pg. 162

Patrol Organized Retail Crime Task Force (ORCTF), to combat organized retail. The bill included a sunset for both provisions of January 1, 2021.

During the 2021 legislative year, the State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 331 (Jones-Sawyer), extending the provisions of Assembly Bill 1065 to January 1, 2026.

Since the inception of the ORCTF, there have been more than 1,850 investigations into retail crimes in California that have resulted in over 1,250 arrests, resulting in $30.7 million recovered in stolen merchandise.

Assembly Bill 1802 was introduced on January 8, 2024, and referred to the Assembly Committee on Public Safety. A hearing date had not been scheduled at the time this report was developed.

Assembly Bill 1804

Introduced by Assembly Member Jim Patterson (R-8-Fresno), Assembly Bill 1804 reduces the amount of fentanyl involved in an investigation to authorize law enforcement to intercept communication involving the suspected parties.

Existing law authorizes a judge, upon a finding of probable cause that an individual is committing, has committed, or is about to commit offenses involving a substance containing fentanyl that exceeds 10 gallons by liquid volume or 3 pounds of solid substance by weight, to issue an order authorizing communication interception.

This bill would reduce the above-described amounts for an order authorizing communication interception to 1.67 gallons by liquid volume and 8 ounces of solid substance by weight of a substance containing fentanyl.

The opioid epidemic has become a nationwide issue affecting communities across the country, including the City of Santa Clarita. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine, making it a major contributor to drug overdose deaths.

In 2021, more than 80,000 people died from a synthetic opioid-related drug overdose in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Based on preliminary 2022 data from the California Department of Public Health, there were 7,385 opioid-related overdose deaths and 6,473 deaths related to fentanyl overdoses. In 2022, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reported 32 overdoses in the Santa Clarita Valley as a result of fentanyl.

Moreover, in 2022, there were 261 fentanyl-related overdose deaths among teenagers in California, ages 10-19 years old, according to the California Department of Public Health.

Assembly Bill 1804 was introduced on January 8, 2024, and referred to the Assembly Committee on Public Safety. A hearing date had not been scheduled at the time this report was developed.

Assembly Bill 1848

Introduced by Assembly Member Laurie Davies (R-74-Laguna Niguel), Assembly Bill 1848 adds fentanyl to an existing prosecutorial enhancement involving selling a controlled substance to a minor at youth-based facilities.

Existing law applies a sentence enhancement to crimes involving the soliciting or selling of a controlled substance to a minor at a playground, religious institution, youth center, day care facility, public swimming pool, or school-related programs. The controlled substances that apply to the sentence enhancement does not include fentanyl.

This bill would add fentanyl to the list of controlled substances that the special enhancement would apply to and would expand the parameters of the youth-based locations, adding a 1,000 feet radius to those locations.

Assembly Bill 1848 was introduced on January 17, 2024, and referred to the Assembly Committee on Public Safety. A hearing date had not been scheduled at the time this report was developed.

Senate Bill 905

Introduced by Senator Scott Wiener (D-11-San Francisco), Senate Bill 905 removes a requirement that a vehicle must be locked in order for an individual to be convicted for vehicular burglary, making forcible entry into a vehicle with the intent to commit a theft an action punishable as a felony.

In order to convict a person under the current auto burglary statute, Penal Code Section 459, the prosecutor must prove that (1) the defendant entered a locked vehicle, and (2) when the defendant entered the locked vehicle they intended to commit theft (or any other felony).

The common law element of “breaking” has never been an essential element of statutory burglary in California. The only exception is auto burglary, which requires that the doors of a vehicle be locked.

Some prosecutors argue that, particularly in cases where a victim is unavailable, such as with tourists who cannot return to court, while there may be concrete evidence of a break in, it may prove difficult to establish that a vehicle was locked. This bill would eliminate the prosecutor’s duty to establish that a vehicle is locked, and instead require the prosecutor to prove forcible entry.

Senate Bill 905 was introduced on January 5, 2024. A hearing date had not been scheduled at the time this report was developed.

Senate Bill 923

Authored by Senator Bob Archuleta (D-30-Norwalk), Senate Bill 923 amends Proposition 47 (2014) by reinstating the ability to charge a repeat offender, convicted of petty theft or 16 Packet Pg. 164

shoplifting and who has two or more prior theft-related offenses, with a felony.

Subsequent to passage by the State Legislature and approval by the Governor, this bill would become effective only if approved by voters through a ballot initiative at the next statewide general election through a ballot initiative.

Senate Bill 923 was introduced on January 11, 2024. A hearing date had not been scheduled at the time this report was developed.

Senate Bill 928

Introduced by Senator Roger Niello (R-6-Fair Oaks), Senate Bill 928, similar to Assembly Bill 1802, extends the sunset provisions indefinitely for special sentences for organized retail theft to be punishable as a felony.

Senate Bill 928 was introduced on January 12, 2024. A hearing date had not been scheduled at the time this report was developed.

The recommendation to support these state legislative items is consistent with the City of Santa Clarita 2024 Executive and Legislative Platform. Specifically, Component 2 under the “State” section advises that the City Council, “Support legislative efforts to address the negative impacts of AB 109, Proposition 47, and Proposition 57 on local governments and provide local law enforcement with the appropriate tools to reduce criminal activity.”

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other direction, as provided by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

The resources required to implement the recommended action are contained within the City of Santa Clarita's adopted FY 2023-24 budget.

legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1772, as amended, Ramos. Theft.

Existing law, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, enacted by Proposition 47, as appro ved by the v oters at the No vember 4, 2014, statewide general election, defines and prohibits an act of shoplifting and prohibits prosecution for an act of shoplifting under any other law.

Existing law defines shoplifting as entering a commercial establishment with intent to commit larcen y while the establishment is open during regular business hours.

This bill would revise the definition of shoplifting to require an intent to steal retail property or merchandise.

Existing la w pro vides that a person with a prior con viction for specified sex offenses may be charged with a felony for shoplifting or for theft of property not exceeding $950 in value.

This bill would require a person convicted of petty theft or shoplifting, if the person has 2 or more prior convictions for specified theft-related

Existing law authorizes a per son to be c harged with gr and theft if the property taken exceeds $950 over the course of distinct but related acts.
