AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 08/03/2023
AGENDA OF: 08/22/2023
DEPARTMENT: Finance
SUBJECT: Award Agreement for Municipal Financial Advisory Services (FN) RECOMMENDATION: Motion to:
1) Award agreement for Municipal Financial Advisory Services to NHA Advisors LLC (San Rafael, CA) for a five-year initial contract period with five optional one-year renewals; and 2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the agreement and any amendments within the approved operating budget, in a form approved by the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND: The Finance Department provides key services to the City Council, the City Manager, all departments, and the public. The department manages the City's financial operations in accordance with industry standards and established fiscal policies. Prudent fiscal stewardship, customer service, compliance, strategic planning, transparency, and effective financial reporting are key elements of its mission. In an effort to ensure that the City can provide leadership in the development and implementation of sound financial policies for the City and align the overall strategy that supports the City’s financial needs, staff recommend the City contract for municipal financial advisory services.
DISCUSSION: On April 19, 2023, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Municipal Financial Advisory Services. The RFP Scope of Services included the need for comprehensive financial planning and analysis services, credit rating surveillance, advise on market conditions, debt issuance and continuing disclosure services to achieve sufficient funds to operate the City, identify revenue streams for the City, and assist in efficient and effective support of the management of the City. The RFP was posted on the City’s website to ensure that the RFP was conducted in an open and competitive manner.
Proposals were due at 5:00 PM PST on May 24, 2023, and the City received proposals from six firms by that time. After being checked for responsiveness, the firms were evaluated by an evaluation committee in two phases. Phase 1 was the evaluation of the written proposal. Firms with proposals that were scored the highest were invited to the second phase of the evaluation (Oral Interviews), where they gave a presentation, and answered questions from the evaluation committee. The City conducted interviews and oral presentations with the three highest scoring proposers from Phase 1.
11.1 Proposal Evaluation Criteria Evaluation Phase Percent of Score
Adherence to RFP Requirements Phase 1 – Written Proposal Evaluation 5% Firm Background Information Phase 1 – Written Proposal Evaluation 5% Firm Qualifications, Expertise, and Experience Phase 1 – Written Proposal Evaluation 10% Team Qualifications, Expertise and Experience Phase 1 – Written Proposal Evaluation 10% Technical Approach/ Work Plan Phase 1 – Written Proposal Evaluation 15% Cost Proposal Phase 1 – Written Proposal Evaluation 20% References Phase 2 – Oral Interview Evaluation 5%
Project Understanding, Plan and Approach Phase 2 – Oral Interview Evaluation 15% Quality of Presentation Phase 2 – Oral Interview Evaluation 15% NHA Advisors was ranked the highest with a score of 97.88 points out of 100 total possible points, and was determined to be the successful proposer. The evaluation committee determined that the successful proposer has the expertise, experience, and personnel necessary to provide the services. Based on data from the California State Treasurer’s office, NHA is ranked as the #1 municipal advisor, by number of unique bond transactions, for California cities since 2020. NHA has served as municipal advisor on general fund (lease, pension,), utility revenue (sewer, water, storm water, parking, electric, etc.), tax-backed (general obligation, sales tax), and land secured (assessment, special tax) transactions.
The proposed contract would have an initial contract period of five years, with five additional one-year renewals.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total not to exceed amount for on-call financial advisory services is $100,000 per year, with the option for additional supplemental services as needed for activities related to bond issuances, and continued disclosure reporting related to bond issuance. There are adequate funds in the Finance Department’s operating budget for this purchase.

General liability coverage will be provided in the form of an endorsement to Consultant’s insurance at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85, or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 (if a later edition is used). o PRIMARY COVERAGE
For any claims related to this Agreement, Consultant’s and all subcontractor’s insurance coverage will be primary and non-contributory as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.

• EXCESS LIABILITY/UMBRELLA INSURANCE POLICIES
Consultant may use excess liability/umbrella policies to meet the required liability limits on the condition that they provide all of the insurance coverages required herein, including, but not limited to, primary and non-contributory, additional insured, Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs), indemnity, and defense requirements. The excess liability/umbrella insurance policies shall be provided on a true “following form” or broader coverage basis, with coverage at least as broad as provided on the underlying CGL insurance.

• DURATION OF COVERAGE
DocuSign Envelope ID: 5084EC0E-1E1B-44BB-82B8-7C1EFDA93D86
11.29 CGL & Excess Liability/Umbrella policies for any construction related work, including, but not limited to, maintenance, service, or repair work, shall continue coverage for a minimum of 5 years for Completed Operations liability coverage. Such Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work.

However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning will not waive the Consultant’s obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.
D. SUBCONTRACTORS
Consultant shall include their subcontractor(s) as additional insured(s) under the policies or shall furnish separate certificates and endorsements for each contractor and subcontractor.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 08/03/2023
AGENDA OF: 08/22/2023
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Downtown Recovery – Phase I-IV – Authorization to Advertise for Bids and Award Contracts (PR)
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to authorize staff to advertise for bids and award contracts to provide new waste and recycling receptacles, provide new benches, and paint existing site furnishings to carry out the Downtown Recovery – Phase I-IV project (c302312). The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to execute the contracts in forms approved by the City Attorney and as authorized by Resolution No. NS-27,563. The Parks and Recreation Director, Economic Development and Housing Director, and Public Works Director are authorized to execute change orders within approved budgets.
BACKGROUND: In the FY 2023 budget, City Council approved the Downtown Recovery – Phase I-IV capital investment program (CIP) project (c302312) to begin implementation of Downtown Site Furnishing Standards to key amenities such as plantings, bike racks, trash cans, benches, and aspects of the hardscaping.
On September 22, 2022 the Downtown Commission accepted the Downtown Site Furnishing Standards report prepared by RRM Design Group and adopted the standards described therein for City-owned site furnishings in the downtown area.
An information report was submitted to the City Council on the agenda of November 15, 2022 presenting the Downtown Site Furnishing Standards report and the process by which it had been developed.
DISCUSSION: Through further discussions with Department Heads and the City Manager’s Office, the priorities for implementation of the Downtown Recovery CIP project were identified as replacement of trash and recycling receptacles, replacement of benches, and painting of remaining items. Initial scoping of all three elements indicates that they will come in over $100,000, so we are requesting Council authorization to proceed with bid advertisement and award.
The painting project will cover streetlights, street sign poles, bike racks, raised planter bed fences, and possibly kiosks with recommended colors from the Site Furnishing Standards.
If the lead time for purchase of the new site furnishings is sufficient, we aim to have them installed before downtown’s peak winter shopping season.
12.1 Additional project work will include replacement of vandalized street name lettering at key intersections along Pacific Avenue, removal of damaged and unused street furnishings, and inhouse painting of curbs and parking meter poles.
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES: This project supports Santa Cruz County’s current goals of increased economic vitality, access to diverse community arts and cultural experiences, and safety of neighborhoods and communities.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost for these three contracts is $400,000. Funds are available in the Downtown Recovery – Phase I-IV capital investment program project (c302312), in allocated funding from Economic Development Trust Fund, and from the Downtown Parking District (for bicycle rack painting).

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The purpose of the City of Santa Cruz Downtown
Site Furnishing Standards (Downtown Site
Furnishing Standards) is to provide guidance to
create a cohesive aesthetic in the downtown area by
better coordinating City-owned site furnishings. This
includes benches, trash and recycling receptacles,
tree grates, bike racks, bollards, parking meter
heads and poles, lighting, and signs. Inventory and
analysis of the existing conditions and community
outreach helped inform the selection of the
furnishings in this document. As existing furnishings
are retired, City staff will use the Downtown Site
Furnishing Standards to replace the existing
infrastructure or refurbish and repaint existing
infrastructure per the color palette identified herein.
1.2 GOALS
The following goals were derived to guide the
development of the Plan:
• Reduce the visual clutter and create a unified
site furnishings palette using similar colors,
materials, and forms.
• Provide guidance for installation in the public
right-of-way.
• Improve coordination between different City
departments for site furnishing selection,
installation, and maintenance.

The Downtown Association of Santa Cruz recently
updated the Downtown Santa Cruz logo and
branding. The Downtown Site Furnishing Standards
sources colors from the branding guidelines.
PACIFIC AVENUE STREETSCAPE MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The Pacific Avenue Streetscape Maintenance
Manual was prepared in 1994, following a complete
rebuild of Pacific Avenue, as a manual to provide
direction on maintenance and design intent for
Pacific Avenue, including plant materials, street
furniture, specialty items, lighting and electrical, and paving. The Downtown Site Furnishing Standards is
consistent with and furthers the intent of the manual.
The standards herein will replace the street furniture
standards found in the Appendix, and shall apply to
Pacific Avenue and the streets shown on Figure 1.1.
The manual also describes the design intent for the
furnishings.
“The design intent for the furnishings was to
locate them all within a single corridor or zone
along the sidewalk and in such a fashion to
create places to sit and tarry without interfering
with pedestrian movement or cafe seating.
All furnishings are located along a common
centerline shared with the street trees and
streetlights next to the street edge.”
The standards in this document will replace existing
furnishings and keep the design intent in place.

2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section discusses the existing conditions
pertaining to site furnishings within the study area.
2.2 INVENTORY & ANALYSIS
The following existing site furnishings were
observed during a site visit in February 2020 in
addition to feedback provided by the City:
• benches
• bike racks
• bollards
• garbage cans
• lighting
• meter heads and poles
• miscellaneous
• signage
• tree grates
• drinking fountains
The collage on pages 10-11 shows the existing site
furnishings that can be found in the study area.
As seen in the photos, there are several different
products for the same site furnishing. For example,
there are eight different types of bike racks and six
different types of trash cans. This document aims to
provide direction so that eventually there will be one
unified palette that speaks to the character of Santa
Cruz.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
The City of Santa Cruz and RRM Design Group
used various strategies to gather input from local
residents, employees, and visitors around the
downtown area on the community’s preference for
various site furnishings and landscaping.
3.2 COMMUNITY OUTREACH
STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS
Stakeholder meetings with key city staff and
business owners were conducted to gather input
on issues and concerns regarding furnishings,
maintenance, durability, costs, users, design and
safety. Stakeholder feedback assisted in providing
direction on furnishing selection, in addition to input gathered from community outreach.
SURVEY AND POP-UP WORKSHOP
In order to understand the community’s wishes for
future site furnishings, the City conducted an online
survey from December 15, 2021 to February 15,
2022 which reached 898 participants. The survey
consisted of 18 questions centered on participant
information, downtown Santa Cruz character,
opinion on a variety of furnishing styles, materials
and colors, and streetscape design preferences.
The questions used in the survey were organized
onto boards and presented as an interactive
exercise with tape dots identifying preferences
at a pop-up workshop. This pop-up was held on
Wednesday, January 12, 2022 from 1:00 p.m. to
5:00 p.m. at the Downtown Farmers Market. Eightythree people participated. POP-UP AT THE DOWNTOWN FARMERS MARKET

OUTREACH FINDINGS
A list of preferred street furnishings was generated
based on the online and in-person responses.
Questions addressed furnishing types, styles,
colors, materials, locations, and how the participants
interact with the existing street furnishings in
Downtown Santa Cruz. The following summarizes
the questions and responses received.
The greatest number of online participants selected
‘Uniquely Santa Cruz’ (47%) and ‘Historic’ (37%
as favorite characteristics about Downtown Santa
Cruz’s style. Responses from the pop-up workshop
varied slightly from the online survey with inperson participants choosing ‘Artistic’ (38%) and an ‘Eclectic Mix of Interesting Styles’ (37%) as the top
characteristics about Downtown Santa Cruz.
When asked how historic character should be
included in the Downtown infrastructure, both online
(73%) and in-person (90%) agreed there should be
a mix of historic and contemporary styles to balance
old and new.
When asked whether site furnishings (benches,
trash receptacles, bike racks, etc.) should be of
the same family of furnishings (same style and
materials) or if they should be different, 54% of
online and in-person participants agreed they can
be different to provide a variety. FURNISHINGS SHOWN ARE PART OF A FAMILY OR GROUP OF FURNISHINGS INCORPORATING SIMILAR STYLE, COLORS, AND MATERIALS.

CITY MANAGED INFRASTRUCTURE STANDARDS 22CITY OF SANTA CRUZ DOWNTOWN SITE FURNISHING STANDARDS
4.1 SITE FURNISHING CATEGORIES
One of the main goals of the Downtown Site
Furnishing Standards is to reduce the visual clutter
and create a unified site furnishings palette using
similar colors, materials, and forms. While some of
the following furnishings aren’t all from the same
family or manufacturer, a common color palette ties
the wayfinding signage and furnishings together.
Visual clutter will be reduced when all furnishings
have been replaced with the new standards in this
document. The standard furnishings herein were
carefully selected based on community feedback,
stakeholder comments, and staff input. Design
intent, color palette, durability, cost, maintenance,
and other requirements were also evaluated in the
final selection.
Furnishings in the public realm should be installed
as existing furnishings need to be replaced or if
funding is designated for installation. Light poles,
and parking meter poles should be painted as soon
as possible.
Private development that creates public spaces,
such as paseos, may follow the standards to unify
the downtown character through furnishings, and
may also use the complementary color palette in
Figure 4.1. These recommendations would also
be well suited for the connections between the
Riverwalk and Front Street with future development
to further enhance the visual cohesion in the
Downtown.
4.2 COLOR
COLOR PALETTE
Figure 4.1 shows the color palette that was used
for the city’s wayfinding signage program. The
site furnishings draw from this same palette as
a way to unify street infrastructure. A majority of
the furnishings are using the primary color navy
blue (Pantone 539C). The lighting is using the
secondary color Las Palmas Blue. There is also an
opportunity to create character at specific nodes,
plazas, intersections, and paseos by using the same
furnishings, but choosing an alternative color in the
complementary color palette. These areas can add
a unique identity to each space while maintaining
the cohesive character of Downtown. The city
should look at identifying where alternative colors
could be used. Figure 4.1 identifies the Downtown
Streetscape primary and secondary color locations,
as well as possible plazas and paseos identified in
the Downtown Plan where complimentary colors
may be used.
The color palette on the next page includes RAL
numbers for powder coated steel, as well as
Mathew’s Paint colors, and their associated RGB
and HEX values. There is no direct correlation
between Matthews Paint codes compared to these
RAL numbers, hence the minor difference in the
color that may be noticed after production.

1: INTRODUCTION
The City has embarked upon development of design standards for City managed infrastructure in the Downtown area that will result in a more user-friendly, flexible, and quality Downtown with standards for benches, bike racks, garbage/recycling receptacles, signage, light fixtures, tree planters and tree gates that will serve as an effective tool to implement the community’s vision to create a more cohesive design for the Downtown. The questions and image choices in the following survey and pop-up workshop asked participants’ opinion on a variety of furnishing styles, materials, and colors. The options are meant to represent different stylistic choices (historic, traditional, modern etc.), but are not specific furnishings the City will choose from.
In order to hear the community’s thoughts on City managed infrastructure in the Downtown area, the City conducted an online survey community pop-up workshop. An online survey was available from December 15, 2021, until February 15, 2022, and reached 898 participants.
The questions used in the survey were organized onto boards and presented as an interactive exercise with tape dots identifying preferences. There were 83 people that participated in the pop-up workshop held Wednesday, January 12, 2022 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Downtown Farmer’s Market.
Section 2 provides a review of the survey questions, followed by a summary of responses and community preferences.
Detailed survey and pop-up responses are presented in Appendix A and B, respectively.
Appendix C shows a side-by-side comparison of the two data sets.

WORKSHOP INPUT SUMMARY
The survey was posted on the project website from December 15, 2021, until February 15, 2022 and received 898 responses. The survey consisted of 18 questions designed to get input on the following:
• Orientation of Survey Participants (Questions 1 and 2) • Downtown Santa Cruz Character (Questions 3 and 4)
• Street Furnishing Preferences (Questions 5 through 13) • Streetscape Design Preferences (Questions 14 through 18) Similarly, a pop-up workshop was held on Wednesday, January 12, 2022 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Downtown Farmer’s Market with approximately 83 participants. The pop-up workshop included a series of boards displaying a variety of options for City-managed infrastructure in the Downtown area. Participants indicated their preferences by placing dots on the series of boards.
The boards consisted of 12 questions designed to get input on:
• Downtown Santa Cruz Character
• Street Furnishing Preferences
• Streetscape Design Preferences
The responses to the survey and pop-up questions have been consolidated and presented by topic on the following pages. Each group of questions provides the community’s preferences in a brief summary, followed by the percentage of reponses received.

STREET FURNISHING PREFERENCES
A list of preferred street furnishings was generated based on the online and in-person responses.
Questions 5-13 from the online survey addressed furnishing styles, materials, locations, and how the participants interact with the existing street furnishings in Downtown Santa Cruz. Similarly, participants at the pop-up workshop viewed a series of photos on display for each site furnishing and selected their favorites.
The majority of participants, both online
(40%) and in-person (46%), ranked the historic
‘Planter Fence’ as their favorite. When asked
about furnishings complementing one another,
the majority of responses agreed that site
furnishings could be different and provide
variety.
The majority of online participants preferred
‘Colorful Bike Racks’ and ‘U-Shape/Hoop’(28%
equally). Participants from the pop-up workshop
indicated their preference for ‘Irregular Loop’
(39%) followed by ‘U-Shape/Hoop’ (33%).
The majority of online participants (78%)
wanted to see bike racks dispersed across the
Downtown area, however, 57% of the online
group also noted that they never use bike racks
when they go Downtown.
Sixty-eight percent of online survey participants
‘sometimes’ sit on benches when visiting
Downtown. Additionally, a quarter or more
of participants expressed a preference for
‘Traditional Wood and Steel’, ‘Wood Slat’ and
the ‘Metal Powdercoat’ bench.

Metal’ (36%) and ‘Wood Batten’ (36%) trash
receptacles while ‘Color with Pattern’ (33%)

STREETSCAPE DESIGN PREFERENCES
Questions 14-16 from the online survey asked participants to choose their streetscape preferences regarding lighting, art, and landscaping. A majority of participants, both online and in-person, voted to keep the existing style of lighting with the addition of festoon and overhead lighting. Online participants favorited ‘Sculptures’ (63%) and ‘Standard Style Planters’ (57%) as additional amenities to include Downtown. In-person responses also suggested ‘Interactive Music Features’ (37%) as a preferred amenity. Canopy and flowering trees, as well as more complex gardens and flowering plants, were also preferred among the two groups.
Online Survey participants were given the opportunity to write in a response regarding the elements they believed would help the Downtown area. The majority of the responses addressed the need for security features and shade from plant material.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 08/14/2023
AGENDA OF: 08/22/2023
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: San Lorenzo River Levee FEMA Accreditation Burrowing Rodent Mitigation Project – Phase 2 (c402112) – Notice of Completion (PW) RECOMMENDATION: Motion to accept the work of Pacifico Construction (Dos Palos, CA) as completed per the specifications and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion for San Lorenzo River Levee FEMA Accreditation Burrowing Rodent Mitigation Project – Phase 2 (c402112).
BACKGROUND: In 2020, the City of Santa Cruz (City) received notification from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) that the San Lorenzo River flood control project had been officially deemed “complete” and was turned over to the City for continued operation and management. At that time, the responsibilities for operation, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement (OMRR&R) of the flood control facilities shifted to the City. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) certification of the flood control project must be completed by 2023 or risk the elimination of the 50% discount on flood insurance rates for all properties within the city flood plain of the San Lorenzo River. Two maintenance activities were identified as deficiency in the City’s operation and maintenance activities and, therefore, needed to be addressed prior to submission of the City’s certification package to FEMA: vegetation management and burrowing rodent mitigation. City Council approved both projects at its December 13, 2022 meeting, with a request to Public Works to share an informational item once work had started. The informational item was submitted with the March 21, 2023 agenda packet.
The City originally advertised the burrowing rodent mitigation project as one project, which included both the fumigation and grouting requirements needed, per accreditation recommendations. The bid period closed on February 14, 2023 and failed to receive any bids.
Public Works staff analyzed the project further and separated the scope of work into two projects: Phase 1 – Fumigation and Phase 2 – Grouting. Staff led additional pre-bid site walks on March 7, 2023. Public Works staff received two bids for Phase 2 and Pacifico Construction was awarded the contract as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Grouting work began on June 13, 2023, following a separate fumigation contractor. Work concluded on July 25, 2023.
DISCUSSION: The project is now complete and inspected by Public Works staff. Staff plans to coordinate additional maintenance with special care to protect the existing vegetation in place.
13.1 FISCAL IMPACT: Total project cost $282,949.20. Funds remaining from the Phase 2 (Grouting) project will support additional maintenance work. This project was fully funded by c402112 (Stormwater Overlay). There is no impact on the General Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 08/01/2023
AGENDA OF: 08/22/2023
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: West Cliff Drive Bethany Curve Culvert (c402407) – Approval of Plans and Specifications, Authorization to Advertise for Bids and Award Contract, and Authorize Professional Service Agreement for Design and Construction Support Services, and Budget Adjustment (PW) RECOMMENDATION: Motion to:
1) Approve the plans and specifications for the West Cliff Drive Bethany Curve Culvert Project (c402407), authorize staff to advertise for bids, and award the contract. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to execute an agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney.
The Director of Public Works is authorized to execute change orders within the approved project budget; and
2) Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Service Agreement with Mesiti-Miller Engineering (Santa Cruz, CA) for designing the West Cliff Drive Bethany Curve Project (c402407), in a form approved by the City Attorney. The Director of Public Works is authorized to execute contract amendments within the approved project budget; and 3) Adopt a resolution amending the FY 2024 budget and appropriate $300,000 from the General Fund and amending the Public Works Capital Investment Program budget in c402407.
BACKGROUND: West Cliff Drive between Columbia Road and David Way was severely damaged by large swells during the January 2023 storms, causing portions of the roadway and path to fail, along with impacts to public access points, utility infrastructure, and the surrounding neighborhood. Temporary protective and stabilization measures are in place.
Three types of permanent repair projects are contemplated, including replacement of lost rip-rap, targeted construction of infill walls at acute erosion points, and potentially full reconstruction and elevation of the roadway at Bethany Culvert location. Due to a number of factors such as funding sources; Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), timelines to design repairs, and size and type of project, the various projects are currently grouped into the following packages.
Infill Walls:
- Located at 920, 932, 1016, and 1030 West Cliff Drive. - Estimated Cost: $5,000,000
14.1 - Confirmed Funding: FHWA funds 88.53%
- Status: Bidding
- Estimated Completion: Winter 2023-Spring 2024
Bethany Curve Culvert:
- Estimated Cost: $10,000,000
- Anticipated Funding: FHWA funds 88.53%
- Status: Preparing to Bid
- Estimated Completion: Summer 2024
Armoring/Rip-rap Repair:
- Various locations
- Estimated Cost: $2,000,000
- Anticipated Funding: FEMA funds 93%
- Status: Design
- Estimated Completion: Summer 2024
At its June 27, 2023 meeting, City Council ratified the approval to bid and award the Infill Wall Project and execute a professional service agreement with Mesiti-Miller Engineering (MME).
The Infill Wall project was advertised, and no bids were received on July 17, 2023. Several local contractors stated they did not bid due to the amount of construction work in our region, in addition to being on a tight timeline (completion by end of November 2023) with plans that were not 100% for construction, thus adding risk and reducing profitability margins. Staff is proceeding with direct solicitation to negotiate a contract with a contractor, a procurement method approved by the FHWA funding source given the emergency status.
DISCUSSION: As part of the January 2023 Emergency response, the City of Santa Cruz (City) contracted MME to assist with initial damage assessment, cost estimating for repair and conceptual designs at various damage sites. MME was selected on a sole source basis due to the urgency of the required work, and because MME was previously contracted to provide design services for West Cliff repairs in related areas.
To date, MME has completed several deliverables including conceptual design, alternatives analysis, survey and geotechnical investigations, and preliminary engineering. Several repair alternatives were considered including rehabilitation of the existing culvert and headwalls, or replacement of those failing structures. Due to the extensive damage, and lack of structural reinforcement, MME and staff identified replacement of the headwall, and culvert as the most cost-effective and resilient repair solution.
The project scope consists of the following elements:
- Installation of new culvert headwalls
- Elevation of the road surface to reduce the potential for wave overtopping events, - New concrete guardrails that will meet current height standards and further protect against waive overtopping,
- Restoration of paving, sidewalk and reconnection of drainage inlets.
In accordance with section 3.08.160 of the Municipal Code- Emergency Procurement, to support rapid advancement of the project, staff recommends authorization of a professional service agreement on a sole source basis with MME to provide ongoing design and bidding support.
14.2 City staff continues to have constructive meetings with the Coastal Commission staff to obtain an Emergency Coastal Development Permit (ECDP) and anticipates its issuance end of August 2023.
Since time is of the essence, the designs, bid quantities, and contract documents were developed on accelerated basis and ongoing refinement will continue in parallel to bidding the project.
Staff is also exploring options to include nature-based solutions as part of the new infill wall projects and MME is working with a local experienced coastal ecologist to evaluate the feasibility of those opportunities.
Plans and specifications for the project can be found online at:
https://www.cityofsantacruz.com/government/city-departments/public-works/engineering/publicworks-projects The Bethany Curve Culvert project tentative schedule is as follows:
- Receive Bids-mid October 2023
- Start Construction-Spring 2024
- Construction Complete- Summer 2024
After bidding is complete, staff will return to Council with an item to award the project and authorize execution of a construction agreement, and provide an update on the status of FHWA funding.
FISCAL IMPACT: Total design-phase costs are estimated at $300,000. Appropriations are requested from the City’s General Fund to cover these initial costs. FHWA is expected to provide disaster relief funding for 88.53% of the eligible costs which will be returned to the General Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 08/02/2023
AGENDA OF: 08/22/2023
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Purchase of Two Refuse Trucks (PW)
RECOMMENDATION: Motion authorizing the purchase of side loader and roll-off vehicles from TEC of California (Oakland, CA) in the amount of $690,000.00.
BACKGROUND: The Public Works Department Resource Recovery Division has a vehicle replacement schedule built into the current refuse rates. This fiscal year we need one side load refuse collection and one roll-off refuse collection, both vehicles exceed the recommended replacement criteria and are programmed for exchange. The side load vehicle services residential areas and the roll-off vehicle services commercial accounts in the City.
DISCUSSION: The Refuse Fund schedules a seven-year replacement cycle for collection vehicles; at the seven-year mark these vehicles have collected approximately 7 million residential carts and about 15,000 commercial roll-box boxes. Factoring in the extreme service demands placed on these vehicles, fleet records indicate that after seven years the maintenance costs begin to outpace the value of the vehicle, and coupled with the steep drop in trade-in value, seven years is the optimum replacement schedule for collection vehicles. Two vehicles meet our replacement criteria this year: one side load service residential collection and the roll-off service commercial accounts.
The Resource Recovery Division and Fleet Maintenance are working to replace the refuse fleet vehicles with one Labrie Automizer with HD right-hand arm body with a Mack MP7-325 HP chassis and one Mack Granite roll-off vehicle with a Mack Terrapro chassis. These configurations share several components with our current vehicle configurations so our fleet division will be familiar with maintaining and repairing these vehicles.
While the Public Works Department is actively updating our fleet vehicles, the electric vehicles have not been fully developed for either type of these refuse collection vehicles, the combination of an electric chassis coupled with a split commodity recycling side loader, like we utilize on our residential routes, is still not manufactured due to the combined weight and the high mileage these trucks run on a regular basis, as we utilize on our commercial and construction accounts.
However, the Resource Recovery Division has 7 CNG refuse vehicles, and the bulk of the fleet currently uses renewable diesel, which reduces vehicle emissions such as NOx, particulates, CO, and hydrocarbons are significantly reduced and now rivals the numbers of alternative fuels. We can now still reduce emissions without the added cost of alternative fuel vehicles. We are currently waiting for 1 new electric refuse truck and expecting delivery next spring.
15.1 Section 3.08.170 of the Municipal Ordinance allows the City of Santa Cruz (City) to buy from cooperative purchasing agreements when is in the best interest of the City to do so. The City is one of over 50,000 member agencies of Sourcewell. Sourcewell conducts national competitive solicitations for common products and can obtain greater discounts than the City could obtain on its own. Mack is listed in Sourcewell and TEC of California, Oakland is their authorized dealership. Staff requests that City Council authorize the purchase of these refuse trucks from TEC of California Oakland CA, in the amount of $690,000.00.
FISCAL IMPACT: The purchase price of one side load including sales tax is $440,000 and the purchase price of one roll-off vehicle including sales tax is $250,000. Funds for the FY 2024 purchase of these refuse collection vehicles are included in the approved Refuse Enterprise Fund budget. These funds are only available for use in the refuse fund activities and cannot be used for General Fund activities. There is no impact to the General Fund.

The requirements of 40 U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence. This provision is hereby incorporated by reference into this Contract.

15.38 City Council
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 08/03/2023
AGENDA OF: 08/22/2023
DEPARTMENT: Water
SUBJECT: Transfer within the Water Department’s Capital Investment Program for Fiscal Year 2023 Water Program Administration Expenses – Budget Adjustment (WT)
RECOMMENDATION: Resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2023 (FY 2023) budget by transferring $1,591,209 from the Water Department’s Capital Investment Program (CIP) Project c701901, Water Program Administration, to various other Water Department CIP projects for the purpose of allocating actual program administration expenses to active Water Program CIP projects.
BACKGROUND: On June 28, 2022, City Council approved the renewal of a five-year Master Services Agreement (MSA) with HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) for Program Management (PM) services; the Water Department is entering the second year of this five-year agreement. PM is the coordinated management of multiple and/or large CIP projects and these services vary widely based on the types of projects and needs of their owners. Typical PM services include staff augmentation, administrative tools, process development, software tools and applications, technical reviews, and financial, legal, and permitting support.
The MSA is organized into six discrete tasks listed below, and each fiscal year the Water Department and HDR develops a Service Order (SO) for tasks to be completed within that fiscal year. The work completed in FY 2023 was under SO 8.
• Task 1-Mobilization: Establish the primary elements of program management including needs assessment, staffing, and development of program and risk management plans. (This task is complete.)
• Task 2-Design Management: Manage or support the management of study and design activities performed by others.
• Task 3-Program Administration: Implement program structures, policies, and systems, such as risk management, quality assurance, and program budget/controls. • Task 4-Planning and Preliminary Engineering: HDR is authorized to perform planning and preliminary engineering work, they are not authorized to perform design work. • Task 5-Construction Management: Provide constructability reviews, construction oversight, inspection, and commissioning.
• Task 6-Support Services: Assist with ancillary project requirements such as California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), right of way, surveying, geotechnical, and development of grant or loan applications or other proposals for project funding.
16.1 SO 8 work within Tasks 2, 4, 5, and 6 is project-specific and such work is charged directly to the appropriate CIP project during the fiscal year. However, Task 3 work includes tasks that are broad in nature and apply to all active CIP projects. Those expenses are charged to a general CIP project, c701901 Water Program Administration and at the end of each fiscal year the actual expenses charged to c701901 are allocated amongst the Water Program CIP projects based on the total project estimated cost.
DISCUSSION: When creating each SO, HDR provides an estimate of work to be completed under project c701901 for that fiscal year. That cost is used to budget and create a purchase order to pay for the actual work completed by HDR throughout the fiscal year. During the fiscal yearend process, the actual expenses (along with the associated budget appropriation) are transferred via a Budget Adjustment and Journal Entry to the active CIP projects supported by HDR.
Transferring the Water Program Administration expenses from c701901 to the active projects benefitting from this work allows the City to track these costs as a capital expense within the construction CIP project and, in some cases, to seek reimbursement from outside funding sources.
Health in All Policies (HiAP)
The City Council has adopted Health in All Policies (HiAP) with the three pillars, equity, public health, and sustainability, to be considered during decision-making. This Budget Adjustment and Journal Entry supports two of these pillars: sustainability and public health. Some PM services can be reimbursed through grants and loans if they are applied to specific CIP projects. This supports the Water Department’s financial sustainability in funding a large and complex CIP to improve infrastructure integrity and system reliability that will preserve and secure reliable water supplies for long-term public health.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to either the General Fund or the Water Operations Fund. The transfer of both the budget appropriations and the actual expenses will have a net zero impact to the Water Department’s total Capital Investment Program.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 08/03/2023
AGENDA OF: 08/22/2023
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) 2.0 Regional Funding Grant Application for Promoting Inclusive Residential Infill Development through Objective Standards for Properties with R-1 Single Family Residence Zoning (PL)
RECOMMENDATION: Resolution authorizing staff to apply for State of California REAP
2.0 competitive funding in the amount of $750,000 to plan for more inclusive residential infill housing options in neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND: The adopted FY 2022 California Budget established a second Regional Early Action Planning grant program (REAP 2.0). The City previously received a REAP 1.0 grant to help fund the Downtown Plan Expansion planning efforts. The REAP 2.0 grant has three key objectives: 1) accelerate infill development that facilitates housing supply, choice, and affordability; 2) affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH); and 3) reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT). REAP 2.0 is administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and the funding is then managed at the regional level by the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG).
Two types of REAP 2.0 grants are available: local, non-competitive funding based on jurisdiction size ($180,000 for the City of Santa Cruz) and regional, competitive funding ($6 million total available with a minimum project award of $500,000). This item is for regional competitive funding and applications are due on August 31, 2023.
Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) was signed on September 16, 2021, and went into effect on January 1, 2022.
SB 9 allows single-family homeowners in most areas of the state to build two primary dwelling units on their lot or subdivide their property into two lots to allow for the sale of the other lot. SB 9 development can be combined with existing Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) law to allow for up to four units on a current single-family lot in Santa Cruz.
The City follows SB 9 requirements per state law and provides guidance documents to interested homeowners, but the State wants jurisdictions to formally bring state law into the Municipal Code by passing an SB 9 Ordinance. Creating a formal ordinance would allow the City to develop additional objective design standards to better control the look and feel of SB 9 development in neighborhoods.
17.1 SB 9 is part of a broader push for more “Missing Middle” housing opportunities in cities.
Missing Middle gets its name because most cities, like Santa Cruz, do not have many housing options between single-family houses and larger apartment/condo complexes. Housing types like duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes were once far more common across the United States, and this housing variety helped cities be more affordable, diverse, and inclusive.
In 2018, the California State Legislature passed AB 686 which introduced AFFH requirements statewide. Per California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), AFFH requires that all state and local public agencies “facilitate deliberate action to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities resulting from past patterns of segregation to foster more inclusive communities.” Since 2021, all Housing Elements must include AFFH policies and programs to make proactive changes to promote more inclusive communities.
Staff proposes to apply the REAP 2.0 competitive grant funding in the amount of $750,000 for the development of objective standards for R-1 zoning. These objective standards would apply to new single-family homes, duplexes, and SB 9 development, and create new avenues to build inclusive neighborhood infill housing types such as triplexes and fourplexes in alternative ways to those already allowed by SB 9. Doing so would meet the REAP 2.0 grant funding goals, AFFH goals, VMT reduction goals, and various Housing Element goals, as discussed below in greater detail.
DISCUSSION:
The three key drivers of this proposed infill planning work include neighborhood compatibility, housing affordability, and equity. The City is in need of more design controls to support neighborhood compatibility. With SB 9, four units can already be built on most single-family, R1 Zoning lots. However, the City currently has few objective development standards specifically tailored to this type of development in single-family neighborhoods. The City would like more design standards for this legislation, especially as it relates to combining SB 9 development with ADUs.
Achieving four units on a lot through SB 9 currently requires at least two detached structures, which typically takes up more land, requires more utility connections, and requires more exterior construction, all adding to housing cost. Through the REAP 2.0 grant, the City will explore how best to allow housing types such as fourplexes in R-1 Zoning. One way to achieve this could simply be allow three attached ADUs to function like a fourplex. Currently, the City’s Code and State ADU law allow for a single-family home to have one attached (or detached) ADU and one attached Junior ADU for a maximum of three attached units. Fourplex-style development would allow four units to be attached, rather than in at least two separate structures, as would be the case if four units were proposed under SB 9. The City can control the size and feel of this housing type to help ensure the construction is compatible with single-family housing.
Fourplexes with objective design standards could also potentially have larger side and rear setbacks that are not currently possible with detached ADUs or SB 9 units under the current regulations.
New, larger single-family homes in Santa Cruz also need more objective standards to improve compatibility with the nearby neighborhood. Portland instituted a similar program, called the Residential Infill Project, which created a maximum size for single-family development but allowed for additional square footage in a tapered manner for each additional unit. Since this
17.2 program was adopted in 2021, the cost of an average new single-family house has gone down (due to their relatively smaller size), while the City has seen 271 new Missing Middle units (duplex/triplex/fourplex) in just one year.
Additionally, an average triplex or fourplex unit can be cheaper to rent than an ADU of comparable size. When it comes to adding housing variety to support affordability, this housing type is important. The City has the opportunity get grant funding to study how these housing types will successfully fit into neighborhoods and provide for greater housing options and improved natural affordability. Not only is the cost of the unit important, but where the unit is located is important as well. More units in established neighborhoods near amenities and services to meet daily needs is a great way to reduce vehicles miles traveled, minimizing traffic and greenhouse gas impacts. And compared to the region, the City has a relatively lower average VMT, so promoting growth in the City reduces regionwide per capita VMT. Situating additional units in historically single-family only neighborhoods is also vital to addressing long-standing inequity in the community. Portland’s Residential Infill Project report states:
A history of racially discriminatory decision-making and public policies have contributed to many of today’s inequitable outcomes for communities of color. While some groups and neighborhoods prospered, Black, Latino, Native American and immigrant households have faced structural barriers to housing stability and economic mobility.
The historic use of racially restrictive covenants and redlining by both public and private entities directly contributed to today’s racial disparities in homeownership rates and wealth attainment. It also contributed greatly to the geographic racial segregation that still exists.
The City of Santa Cruz is currently drafting policies in its Housing Element update to help address equity, prevent displacement, and provide for ongoing affordability. Planning for additional types of housing in historically single-family neighborhoods is consistent with these policies and is also an important way to meet AFFH goals.
The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee and HCD developed a statewide Opportunity Map to identify areas of low to highest opportunity. Per HCD, this map: “identifies areas in every region of the state whose characteristics have been shown by research to be most strongly associated with positive economic, educational, and health outcomes for low-income families – particularly long-term outcomes for children – when compared to other neighborhoods in the same region. The map also identifies areas in California that are both high poverty and racially segregated.” The Opportunity Map for Santa Cruz is below. Note that many historically singlefamily neighborhoods are in “high resource” areas. Providing more flexibility to build a greater variety of housing in these neighborhoods is a prime way to affirmatively further fair housing.
17.3 The Portland model also included opportunities to add two additional units beyond a fourplex if the project includes affordable units. A similar model could be studied for Santa Cruz as part of this project. Staff envisions that rather than this be citywide, additional density in exchange for affordable housing might be located only near high quality transit. This would follow the State’s Senate Bill 10 (SB 10, also passed in 2021) that allows for a streamlined process to rezone properties near high quality transit to allow up to ten units if a City so chooses. This is an example of the kind of work that could be done in conjunction with the project to develop new objective standards and create more compatible infill development in neighborhoods.
To summarize the project, the City will apply for a competitive REAP 2.0 grant in the amount of $750,000 to create the following:
- Additional objective standards for single-family homes and duplexes - Additional objective standards for Accessory Dwelling Units - New objective standards for SB 9 development
- R-1 Zoning to allow triplexes and fourplexes (as alternate ways to achieve up to the four units in R-1 Zoning already allowed under SB 9)
- New objective standards for triplexes and fourplexes
- Explore and potentially prepare new objective standards for additional units, beyond four units, in select areas of the City where SB 10 and AFFH objectives are met
17.4 The project seeks to:
1. Address existing neighborhood compatibility concerns.
2. Provide for a greater variety of housing to improve housing affordability.
3. Support greater inclusion and equity in Santa Cruz.
Health in All Policies
The goal of Health in All Policies (HiAP) is to ensure that decision-makers are informed about the impacts on the three HiAP pillars of health, equity, and sustainability when reviewing projects and policy options. REAP 2.0 grant funding for neighborhood infill planning supports all three pillars.
The grant funding would support an innovative project that would seek to create a greater variety of housing, lower housing costs, affirmatively further fair housing, and reduce regionwide VMT. This project would significantly achieve the HiAP’s health, equity, and sustainability goals.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: An application for a grant does not constitute a project under CEQA. Should the grant be approved, a necessary CEQA determination will be made as part of the project. However, staff does not envision this project creating impacts under CEQA. The project would allow the same number of units and in the same locations that SB 9 already allows, and those projects are exempt from CEQA. Density beyond SB 9 development would also be exempt from CEQA should it be eligible for SB 10 streamlining.
FISCAL IMPACT: The REAP 2.0 grant will provide funding in the amount of $750,000 to plan for Missing Middle infill housing throughout the City. Over time, housing generally has a negative fiscal impact for the City, as the cost of providing services tends to exceed the property tax and sales tax increases resulting from the new construction and resident spending. Increased project density reduces the possible negative fiscal impact of residential development due to economies of scale. A project developer is required to pay City application fees to cover staff time in processing applications and conducting inspections, and impact fees will be paid to help offset the costs of planned improvements associated with various City service areas, such as parks and transportation.

Dear Council,
God have mercy on your souls if you go forward making the states destruction of single family housing worse than it already is by invoking even more oppressive woke ideology into RL zoning as you describe.
People are different, Americans should crave liberty, and you will never make people the same as they are different no matter how offensive to liberty and capitalism your laws become.
I pray for your souls. You will need it.
Families should always have access to SFR housing if they can achieve it.
Polluting RL housing with high density is cultural Marxism at its worse.

17.9 To: Santa Cruz City Council
Date: August 21, 2023
We are writing in support of the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) 2.0 Regional Funding Grant Application, Item #17 on your August 22, 2023 agenda.
We are pleased to see the City applying for these CA state funds and have enthusiastic support for the grant proposal and its objectives. Infill missing middle housing brings more housing choices, mobility and affordability in the exclusive and high opportunity neighborhoods of Santa Cruz. Affirmatively furthering fair housing includes the equitable distribution of affordable housing throughout the city. Objective standards help projects move forward more quickly with less discretionary hurdles while meeting city standards.
Santa Cruz YIMBY supports a commitment to lower Vehicle Miles Traveled by housing people near services and jobs.
We suggest that the city include an economic analysis of missing middle housing types as part of this REAP 2.0 grant scope to ensure the proposed housing types are economically feasible to build. We are aware of studies (already shared with Planning staff) that compare feasibility of building different -plex sizes (e.g. 2-, 4-, 8- and 10-plex) in San Jose, which unfortunately found that four-plexes are not a financially feasible housing type in that city.
We expect the city is also aware of the anti-downzoning/no-net-loss component of SB330 as objective standards for single-family housing are considered. Finally, we would like to see any of these changes, especially SB9, implemented in the Coastal Zone with appropriate updates to the Local Coastal Plan (LCP).
Santa Cruz YIMBY seeks to build a community where our neighbors of all ages, cultures, and incomes can make Santa Cruz County their home. We must respond to the climate crisis by seizing these opportunities to build housing near jobs and schools, with options for public transit, biking and walking.
We urge you to adopt the resolution that moves this grant application forward.
Sincerely,
Diana Alfaro

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 08/01/2023
AGENDA OF: 08/22/2023
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT: State of Child & Youth Well-Being Report 2022/2023 (CM) RECOMMENDATION: Accept the State of Child & Youth Well-Being report for 2023.
BACKGROUND: In December 2021, the City Council adopted the first “Children and Youth Bill of Rights.” The Bill of Rights provides a foundation that makes children and youth a top priority for the City so that:
• They have a healthy mind, body, and spirit that enables them to maximize their potential. • They develop a healthy attachment to a parent, guardian, or caregiver and an ongoing relationship with a caring and supporting adult.
• They have a safe and healthy environment, including homes, schools, neighborhoods, and communities.
• They have access to quality education that promotes future success in school, career, and life. • They have training in life skills that will prepare them to live independently, be self-sufficient, and positively contribute to their community.
• They have employment opportunities with protections from unfair labor practices. • They have freedom from mistreatment, abuse, and neglect. • They voice opinions in matters of interest, develop their leadership capacity and engage in their community.
• They feel supported by the larger community and maintain a sense of hope for the future. • They are encouraged to explore and express their innate curiosity and creativity.
City Council directed that Parks and Recreation Department staff develop and present a “State of Youth” report in 2022 to establish baseline metrics associated with the Children and Youth Bill of Rights. The report was intended to be updated and utilized year-over-year to evaluate needs, impacts, and successes resulting from the City’s investment in Santa Cruz youth and commitment to the Bill of Rights.
In the summer of 2022, Parks and Recreation staff, and a City Council subcommittee with the assistance of Nicole Young with Optimal Solutions Consulting worked together to prepare a draft report. In October of 2022, a draft report was prepared and presented to City Council, however the report was not considered completed as many data sources identified through the process were from 2018-2020, and not necessarily reflective of the current state of youth. In addition, the subcommittee wanted to ensure that youth voice was a key component of the report to ensure inclusivity, accuracy, and legitimacy.
18.1 The State of Child & Youth report is intended to serve as a performance measurement and reporting tool associated with key components of the City’s Health in all Policies framework.
Specifically, the report will speak to aspects of health/wellness and equity as it relates to Santa Cruz youth. Furthermore, the Children and Youth Bill of Rights and Children’s Fund are also rooted in equitable access and investment in the health and wellness of young people.
DISCUSSION: In March of 2023, oversight of the state of the youth program as well as the Childrens’ Fund Oversight Committee transitioned to the City Manager’s Office. To continue building on the previous work of the subcommittee and Parks and Recreation Department, the subcommittee held a State of the Youth community forum in May of this year. The forum brought together representatives of the community from all ages, professions, and cultural backgrounds. The forum was developed and facilitated by Nicole Lezin and Nicole Young from Optimal Solutions with the ultimate goal of utilizing the feedback from the forum in combination with updated data from a variety of resources to produce a comprehensive State of Child & Youth Well-Being report.
The report identifies several opportunities for action by the City of Santa Cruz to advance the Bill of Rights for children and youth. This inaugural report on The State of Child & Youth Wellbeing is a companion to the Bill of Rights that highlights how children and youth in the City of Santa Cruz are faring in multiple dimensions — or CORE (Collective of Results and Evidencebased Investments) Conditions — of health and well-being. The Report provides context and data to help inform the City’s priorities, decisions, and actions to advance well-being in each of the 10 Rights.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact was $7,700 for consulting services provided by Optimal Solutions Consulting which will be funded from the Children's Oversight Fund.

THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ’S COMMITMENT TO THE RIGHTS
OF CHILDREN & YOUTH
All children and youth have the right to live happy, healthy, fulfilling lives, no matter who they are, what they look like, where they were born, where they live, what language they speak, or what they believe. No young person should be treated unfairly for any reason.
Children and youth deserve to be loved unconditionally and feel a sense of belonging in their families and communities. Parents/caregivers — which includes birth parents, stepparents, grandparents or other relatives, foster or adoptive parents, and other caring adults in a parenting role — are children’s first and most important teachers. They hold the important job of providing safe, nurturing relationships and environments that are essential for healthy brain development, particularly in the first five years of life. This lays the foundation for health and well-being at every stage of life. Parents/caregivers also have the right to not just survive, but to thrive.
Children and youth need to have the resources, opportunities, and experiences that promote optimal health, education, economic, and social outcomes. They deserve to live, learn, and play in communities that are intentionally designed for belonging and inclusion and foster the well-being of the “whole child, whole family, whole community.” Differences in access to resources, opportunities, and outcomes should not be predictable by race, class, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, language, culture, or other aspects of their identities.
While many people and institutions share these beliefs about what children and youth deserve, our society still has a long way to go before these words are a reality for all children and youth (defined by the City as children under age 18 and young adults ages 18-24). Minor children do not have the power to vote, but their everyday lives are affected by programs, policies, rules, laws, and budget decisions made at all levels of government. Many times, these decisions benefit some groups of children and youth more than others because they provide greater, easier, or guaranteed access to the resources and opportunities that children and youth (and their families) need to thrive.
Those same decisions may simultaneously disadvantage other groups of children and youth because they reduce or block access to the resources and opportunities needed to survive, let alone thrive.
This dynamic creates, maintains, and exacerbates structural inequities — i.e., the systematic and ingrained differences in access to resources, opportunities, and fair treatment that contribute to predictable, but preventable, differences in well-being
18.7 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 6
outcomes. Structural inequities exist in both the public and private sectors and across all systems that touch the lives of children, youth, and families: education, health, housing, employment, criminal justice, child care, philanthropy, and more. The inequities are typically a result of historical and ongoing patterns of discrimination based on race, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, and other characteristics.
They are "structural" because they are deeply embedded in society's institutions, laws, regulations, and norms, making them persistent and difficult to eliminate without systemic change.
To create the systemic change needed, our society needs to guarantee all children and youth the right to live happy, healthy, fulfilling lives. However, the United States is the only United Nations member not to ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child, i a
globally recognized and respected framework for children’s rights anchored in four core principles: 1) nondiscrimination, 2) the best interests of the child, 3) survival and development, and 4) participation and inclusion.ii
This statement is true not only across the nation, but in our own community. For this reason, the Santa Cruz City Council adopted the Children & Youth Bill of Rights (Bill of Rights) in December 2021, becoming the first body of electeds in the county to do so.
The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors followed suit in May 2022, as well as the City of Capitola, in July 2023.
The Bill of Rights serves as both a compass and an accountability tool to ensure that City leaders keep the needs of young people at the forefront of decisions about budgets and government policies. It complements other policies and initiatives the City has adopted and supported, including but not limited to:
• City of Santa Cruz Children’s Fund — The Children’s Fund was initially created in 2017 through a City Council policy, then later enshrined in the City Charter when voters approved Measure A. Twenty percent of revenue generated by the Cannabis Business Tax is allocated to the dedicated Children’s Fund to support “In the absence of an overarching and coherent framework and system of accountability to ensure every child achieves their optimal health and well-being, children in the United States face increasing inequalities and health outcomes.”
– Reimagining Children’s Rights in the United States
18.8 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 7
enhancement and expansion of evidenced-based programs and to prioritize access to early childhood development, prevention, and vulnerable youth programs.
Since its creation, the Children's Fund has provided scholarships for youth and children to access Santa Cruz City Parks and Recreation programs, early learning support and, during the pandemic, childcare scholarships for essential workers. A Children’s Fund Oversight Committee has been established to oversee the distribution of funds, consistent with the intent of Measure A. The Oversight Committee is in the process of developing a new application and criteria for selecting who will receive funds each year.
• Health in All Policies (HiAP) — In November 2018, the City Council adopted a Health in All Policies (HiAP) ordinance and a set of community-informed implementation recommendations developed by a subcommittee of Councilmembers and Department Heads. Staff in the City Manager’s Office have continued to support the Council in developing and implementing an annual HiAP workplan and evaluating and reporting on progress.
The three pillars of the HiAP approach are reflected throughout the Bill of Rights.
Equity is brought to the forefront by prioritizing youth, who traditionally are not prioritized or given a voice in government budgeting and programmatic decisions.
Sustainability is woven into the Bill of Rights by addressing healthy environments and healthy living. Health and well-being are the overarching purpose and ultimate goal of each of the 10 Rights.
• Youth Action Network (YAN) — YAN is a community impact initiative (formerly known as the Youth Violence Prevention Network) composed of youth and adults working together to identify emerging needs in our community and to increase overall youth-wellbeing through youth voice and youth leadership. The City has committed to participate in the YAN, in support of YAN’s goals:
1. Youth-Adults Partnerships: Increase youth supported by caring adults and relationships with local decision-makers.
2. Youth Voice: Increase meaningful participation and opportunities for youth to share their voices, ideas, and leadership for youth within Santa Cruz County.
3. Youth Leadership Development: Increase knowledge of youth leadership development and capacity for creating change in the community.

The CORE Conditions provide a common language and framework for people and organizations across all sectors to identify community strengths and challenges, prioritize actions to improve conditions of well-being, and measure progress and collective impact over time. The City plays an important role in fostering the CORE Conditions through its programs, policies, initiatives, and budget decisions. The City has already aligned some elements of its work with the CORE Conditions, including the HiAP evaluation framework and the CORE Investments contracts for community-based services, co-funded with the County of Santa Cruz. The table below summarizes the indicators included in this report.

GENDER IDENTITY AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS), 52% of children and youth in the City of Santa Cruz are female, and 48% are male.vii However, data on other gender identities and sexual orientation are not yet available through the ACS.
The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), completed by a sample of students in grades 5, 7, 9, 11 and Non-Traditional schools (including alternative education), provides a more nuanced understanding of how students in the Santa Cruz City Schools (SCCS) District define their gender and sexual orientation.
In School Year (SY) 2022-23, between 2–5% of students in grades 7-9 and NonTraditional schools who completed the CHKS (n = 1,570) identified their gender as nonbinary or “something else.”viii
When asked whether their gender is different from the sex they were assigned at birth, 2–5% of student respondents said they are transgender, and another 2–5% said they are not sure.
ix The remaining students either did not answer this question (3–5%) or said they are not transgender (86–92%).

In the same survey, 15–20% of student respondents identified their sexual orientation as Lesbian, Gay, or Bisexual (LGB) or “Something Else,” while 4–10% were not sure.
FAMILY ECONOMICS
All students can participate in school nutrition programs. However, students with family incomes under 130% of the federal poverty line are eligible for free meals, and those with incomes between 130–185% of the poverty line are eligible for reduced-price meals. This is one indicator of families’ economic security.
In SCCS, one-third or more of students are eligible for free or reduced price school meals.
x This means that many students may be living in families experiencing food insecurity or unable to meet other basic needs, which can affect the ability of children and youth to learn and be healthy. Additional data on family economics are included in a later section of this report.

HOW ARE CHILDREN & YOUTH IN SANTA CRUZ FARING?
The Data Snapshots presented on the following pages include several indicators, using the most current, publicly available data available at the time this report was produced.
Quantitative data can paint a useful, clear picture of strengths, gaps, and differences in well-being that may warrant further exploration or action by the City. But quantitative data only tell part of the story and should be considered carefully, in the right context, particularly given these important details (described further in Appendix A):
• The data are inclusive but not exhaustive. While this report is thorough, it still contains a relatively small subset of data related to child and youth well-being. • The effects of the pandemic are reflected in the data, not only in terms of the status of well-being (or areas of concern), but the consistency and reliability of trend data, which makes it difficult to accurately assess or interpret changes over time. • Some data represent small numbers of children and youth, which means percentages may not be representative of all children and youth. The data are suppressed (S) by the original sources if the numbers or percentages are too small, to preserve confidentiality. This makes it very difficult to identify indicators where City-level data can be disaggregated by age (up to age 24), race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and other demographic characteristics.
• Data are collected at different times and frequencies, depending on the sources. In some cases, City of Santa Cruz data are from a more recent year than the countywide and California data. In these instances, the county and state data were provided as a point of reference (or omitted if too old) but should not be compared to the City data.
The following symbols are used when multiple years of data were available from the original, cited source. The absence of a symbol means there was not enough (or any) data from previous years.
Indicates a positive (desired) change of at least 2 points since the prior measurement period
Indicates a negative (unwanted) change of at least 2 points since the prior measurement period

Community Insights
The Community Insights throughout the report come from a May 2023 community meeting in which adults and youth discussed issues related to early childhood and school-aged youth, adolescents, and young adults.
• Mental health remains an ongoing area of need. Poor mental health was a concern prior to the pandemic, but the pandemic’s disruption and isolation amplified these issues. Private therapy is extremely expensive, especially if the service is not covered by insurance, which makes it inaccessible for many who need it. • Youth who attended the community meeting expressed concern about mental health struggles among their peers and the lack of support, especially in the period after the COVID-19 lockdowns. During the pandemic, students’ physical health also suffered.
One student shared that they stayed active by getting into surfing. This led to learning about issues like coastal erosion and ocean safety. Ocean safety has been a top issue lately, especially after the recent drowning of a local student at Its Beach. • Other concerns raised included, “Youth [are] not taught how to respond to mental health behaviors,” and “Kids don’t know that they have a learning disability (comes out in different ways, i.e., behavior).”
• Child care providers have expressed concerns that young children are not exhibiting typical social-emotional development for their age. Their overall ability to self-regulate emotions and interact with peers has been
negatively impacted by pandemic-related isolation.
• School counselors in Santa Cruz City Schools (SCCS)
district are seeing more diagnoses of depression,
anxiety, and eating disorders. They are providing
more counselors on campus and holding mental
health pop-up days to destigmatize help-seeking
behaviors. They are offering suicide awareness for all
middle and high school students and expanding the
K-8 social-emotional learning curriculum. School staff
and counselors are also working to address social
media use and its effects on mental health.
• One participant noted the need to have “Better
access to diagnosis of children to better meet their
academic and psychological needs validating kids’
experiences with difficult teachers and adults,
allowing conversations to be two-sided, with two
stories, and understanding that just because kids struggle to express emotions, that the roots of those emotions are still valid.”
While the increased demand
for mental health services is
concerning, it also could be a
positive indication that there is
less stigma about seeking
mental health care.
One community meeting
participant asked, “Are the
increasing mental health
services demands partially
driven by new awareness of
and ownership over mental
health in our youth and young
adults? In short, are our youth
demanding more from us?”
18.19 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 18
• The mental health needs of community college and university students have grown, too, with demands for services at an all-time high — approximately double prepandemic levels at Cabrillo College, which sees about 100 students a month with mental health appointments. The increased need is related to the impact of isolation and less connection during COVID, as well as the role of social media. In the smallgroup discussion, one participant raised the concern about, “Young adults dealing with anxiety, leaning into drugs and then destroy their lives going down that path.” • The good news is that California adopted a Master Plan for Kids’ Mental Health and is investing in initiatives like the Children’s Youth and Behavioral Health Initiative, CalAIM, Community Schools, and other reforms. This should bring enhanced resources to our county for training and vital services.
Current City Programs
The City operates several programs and services in support of this Right, including:
• Santa Cruz Teen Center: A free, drop-in recreational facility dedicated to creating a safe and diverse environment for teens. In addition to daily activities, the Teen Center offers homework help, special events, day and overnight trips, sports and outdoor events, young men’s and women’s circle groups, and healthy cooking activities. • Aquatics: Junior Guards builds confidence in the beach and ocean environment.
Recreation Swim is offered at Harvey West Pool for pool play. • Recreation Classes: A variety of classes for youth are offered three seasons a year (Fall, Winter-Spring, and Summer) including STEAM classes, soccer, skateboarding, martial arts, basketball, beach volleyball, art, theater, and after-school enrichment. • Parks: Provides essential recreational resources used by children and youth, including 21 playgrounds, 3 skate parks, 3 bicycle pump tracks, 1 BMX park, 3 beaches, the Harvey West Pool, athletic fields used by Santa Cruz Little League, Santa Cruz Youth Soccer, and Pop Warner football.
• DeLaveaga Golf Course: Offers free golf and tee times to the Santa Cruz, Harbor, and Soquel High School teams; discounted golf rates to players 18 years and under, including $5 rounds to participants in the Youth on Course program.

Community Insights
• In the discussion on early childhood and school-aged children, one concern was, “parents who feel disconnected and overwhelmed.” Multiple participants in that group suggested ideas to expand access to the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program. They would like to see more Triple P classes led or co-led by parents, in other community settings and spaces, and for additional age groups. (Note: Triple P is currently available for free to families with children ages 0-17+. First 5 Santa Cruz County oversees the countywide implementation, and services are provided by various community-based organizations.)
• One of the panelists noted that it is encouraging to see parent-centered approaches being supported by the County, City of Santa Cruz, and schools partners — e.g., City of Santa Cruz Children’s Fund; CORE Investments funding for the countywide Cradle to Career (C2C) initiative (which includes parent-led efforts and participation from families at Bayview and Gault elementary schools, among others); and the Thrive by 5 initiative (parent leaders serve on the Advisory Committee).
In the discussion focused on adolescents, one participant shared their view that, “[The] City should be more present at the schools (reach out and be there).” Multiple
18.21 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 20
students who attended the community meeting said they didn’t know about the City’s Teen Center.
• Other suggestions about policies and programs that would make life better for adolescents and their families included, “More spaces for youth to hang out at (like Circle Church)” and “Have schools be a true hub, a place to receive information and feel connected.”
Current City Programs
• Teen and Youth programs: The Santa Cruz Teen Center, Summer Camps, Classes, and Junior Guards are programs that have participants return year after year and develop positive, supportive relationships with staff, the Teen Center being the most consistent and daily touch point. The City’s Junior Guard instructors provide key mentorship for participants as they move through the program. • Field rentals: Parks and Recreation provides discounted rentals to youth sports organizations (Little League, Pony League, Youth Soccer). These programs foster positive relationships with adult coaches and teachers.
OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION
Conduct outreach to promote the availability of the City’s existing Teen and Youth programs.
Explore reinstating the PRIDE Program for youth facing the greatest barriers to well-being. The program focused on relationships inside the home and provided participants with a supportive mentor. It was previously coordinated by the Santa Cruz Police Department in collaboration with Santa Cruz City Schools.

Community Insights
• Youth who attended the Community Meeting said they don’t feel like there is a venue for youth to gather to share ideas. Several of them didn’t know about the City’s Teen Center. They expressed a desire for more safe, accessible spaces for youth to hang out (like Circle Church).
• Other participant suggestions for policies and programs that would make life better for children, youth, and families included: Access to Harvey West Pool for youth of all ages and community (swim lessons, ocean safety, summer
camps); surfing for all; equitable access to surf for all youth (transportation, lessons, equipment, scholarship/low cost, diverse mentors); and ocean safety for all.
• Participants also expressed safety concerns related to the prevalence of substance abuse in the community, particularly downtown Santa Cruz.
One participant suggested providing resources and tools for youth to learn how to navigate aggressive or violent behaviors of people who are unhoused. • City staff work directly with schools on initiatives like Safe Spaces and the Teen Center, addressing community need by creating programs that the Parks and Recreation team can offer. Looking ahead, Parks and Recreation staff are trying to expand their outreach so that more people use spaces and programs, especially with an equity lens. One way to address equity is to offer scholarships for those who might not be able to afford activities, but the demand for scholarships for programs has been “through the roof,” and they are unable to meet the demand. Support from the Children’s Fund could allow the City to expand Harvey West Pool hours this summer.
Current City Programs
• The Santa Cruz Teen Center: A free, drop-in recreational facility dedicated to creating a safe and diverse environment for the teen community in order to empower youth, foster creativity and promote alternate forms of education. Currently open Monday - Friday, 3:00 - 8:00 pm.
• Parks: Essential, free recreational resources used by children and youth, including 21 playgrounds, 3 skate parks, 3 bicycle pump tracks, 1 BMX park, 3 beaches
OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION
Maintain a commitment to accessible and safe parks and other spaces for children and youth to gather.
Participants in the
discussion focused on
young adults said,
“We need housing,
higher wages, better

interests are everyone’s
interests.”

Community Insights
• Participants in the group discussion on early childhood and school-aged children raised issues such as, “All children have the right to early education,” “What can we do to expand quality affordable child care and the Early Childhood Education (ECE) workforce, with good wages and benefits?” and a desire for “Infant and toddler care during non-traditional hours.”
• During the panel presentation, both of the Cradle to Career Parent Leaders (whose children attend Bayview Elementary and Mission Hill) spoke about their difficulties finding affordable child care, despite working full-time or multiple jobs. Their biggest concern is housing. One Parent Leader and her partner have been trying to find a two-bedroom house or apartment, but the minimum rent is $3,600/month — completely unaffordable and unrealistic for their situation, even with multiple incomes. • The panelists underscored that there are broader, deeply entrenched challenges in the ECE system that were not caused by the pandemic, but they have been greatly exacerbated by it. Child care is just too expensive for many parents, while also not providing adequate compensation to the workforce. This is an ongoing, systemic issue that would require massive public financing.
• Youth said students often feel overwhelmed by homework and seem to lack motivation. Students could use more academic support and real-life skills that make learning more relevant, especially for youth who work to support their families. • SCCS made progress in closing the digital divide during the pandemic. More SCCS students than ever qualify for 4-year college; graduation rates are above the state average; and many scholarships for Career Technical Education (CTE) and college have been earned.
• In the group discussion focused on young adults, concerns and suggestions included a “Big need for student peer mentors/tutors that can work at high schools while attending college,” and “Better teacher understanding of students and their differences — what they react to and motivates them.”
Current City Programs
• London Nelson Community Center: Offers a significantly discounted rental agreement (and exclusive use of a room) with the County Office of Education (COE) for their Alternative High School program.

Community Insights
• Some youth and their parents/caregivers shared their positive experiences with the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program that teaches life skills, offered through SCCS. One parent suggested, “There should be a required class to help with college applications, essays, and decisions for everyone (like AVID)” and that it should be mandatory.
• Other concerns and suggestions raised were related to basic needs (“Access to food for all”), parking challenges at Santa Cruz High.
18.27 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 26
• A participant in the group discussion focused on young adults noted they “Would like to know about services for Transitional Age Youth and job opportunities for work for students without Social Security cards.”
• For Cabrillo students, many also face challenges with housing costs and food insecurity, which are the most acute problems for Cabrillo students. More students are experiencing homelessness, leading to efforts to build housing on both the UCSC and Cabrillo campuses so that there can be more affordable options for students. • Another participant in the group discussing early childhood and school-aged children said (in Spanish), “Work with the different organizations to provide all resources from early childhood onwards.”
Current City Programs
• Teen Job Fair: Provides job opportunities for teens as well as training on interview skills and filling out a job application.
• Teen Intern Program: Places teens in paid job positions in City departments. • Junior Leader volunteer program: Places teen volunteers (ages 13-15) in our Summer Camps programs. This provides them with first job interview and working experiences to list on a future resume.
• Junior Guard Captain Corps program: Captain Corp volunteers (ages 15-17) function as role models for Junior and Little Guard participants and assist instructors with marine safety through participation, education and creating a positive learning environment. This provides them with first job interview and work experiences to list on a future resume.
• Summer Youth Trails program: Provides paid employment and job training in parks and trail maintenance.
OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION
Maintain the Public Safety Teen Academy/Explorer Program, a collaboration with the Fire and Police Departments during the summer.
The program helps establish healthy relationships with public safety staff and exposes youth to the concepts and potential of civic/public service. The program has been well-received by parents and youth. Expand internship, vocational and pre-apprenticeship opportunities in city departments.

18.33 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 32
APPENDIX A: CONTEXT & TECHNICAL NOTES FOR DATA
The Data Snapshots presented in this report include many indicators, using the most current data that could be found. Quantitative data can paint a useful, clear picture of strengths, gaps, and differences in well-being that may warrant further exploration or action by the City. But quantitative data only tell part of the story and should be considered carefully, in the right context, particularly given these important details:
• The data are inclusive but not exhaustive. This report contains a small subset of data related to child and youth well-being. In most cases, the indicators were included in this report if data were available at a city level, which ruled out certain indicators that are only available at a countywide or statewide level. There are a few exceptions to this for indicators where only the countywide data were available (e.g., California Health Interview Survey) and omitting those indicators would have left significant gaps in the Data Snapshots.
Other data on community-level indicators can be found in the CORE Results Menu on the DataShare Santa Cruz County website. Note that not all data of interest are available on DataShare, and not all data on DataShare are available at a city level. • The effects of the pandemic are reflected in the data, not only in terms of the status of child and youth well-being (or areas of concern), but the consistency and reliability of trend data. Some local, state, and federal data collection processes were paused or affected dramatically during the pandemic. This makes it difficult to accurately assess or interpret changes over time.
• Some data represent small numbers of children and youth, which means percentages may not be representative of all children and youth. The data are suppressed (S) by the original sources if the numbers or percentages are too small, to preserve confidentiality. This makes it very difficult to identify indicators where City-level data can be disaggregated by age (up to age 24), race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and other demographic characteristics.
• Data are collected at different times and frequencies, depending on the sources.
There is often a significant gap between the time surveys are administered and when results become publicly available. This is especially true for large amounts of data collected or analyzed by the state. By the time reports become available locally, the data may already seem outdated, but still serves a useful purpose. • All California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) data for City of Santa Cruz are from the 2022-23 school year (survey administered in the fall of 2022). Countywide CHKS data are from the 2021-22 school year, as 2022-23 Countywide are not yet publicly
18.34 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 33
available. The 2021-22 data are provided as a point of reference but should not be compared to the City of Santa Cruz’s 2022-23 data. California’s CHKS data were excluded, as the most recent data were from 2019.
• Some CHKS data for Grade 5 are only available for City of Santa Cruz in 2022-23, or the arrow indicating year-over-year change is not included due to the large gap between the most recent measurement year (2022) and the prior measurement year (2018-19).
• Arrows are included next to data when multiple years of data were available from the original, cited source.
Indicates a positive (desired) change of at least 2 percentage points since the prior measurement period
Indicates a negative (unwanted) change of at least 2 percentage points since the prior measurement period
Indicates no change or an increase/decrease of only 1 percentage point since the prior measurement period

APPENDIX B: COMMUNITY MEETING SUMMARY
On May 8, 2023, the City held a Community Meeting to discuss the State of the Youth in the City of Santa Cruz. The meeting was held at Bayview Elementary School, hosted by members of the Santa Cruz City Council, and facilitated by Nicole Lezin of Cole Communications. The purpose of the community meeting was to help Council members hear directly from youth and families about current issues they are facing and to give residents an opportunity to provide input that will inform the City’s priorities, policies, and programs.
The Community Meeting featured a panel of seven community leaders (listed below) who were invited to share their observations about strengths and challenges faced by children, youth, and families in different age groups. After the panelists’ remarks, participants had an opportunity to move to smaller groups organized by age group. With panelists and City Council members guiding the discussion, they focused on two discussion questions:
1. What is your biggest question or concern about the well-being of children and youth in this age group?
2. What policies and programs would make life better for children and youth in this age group and their families?
THEMES FROM THE PANEL PRESENTATIONS
Early Childhood and School-Aged
David Brody, Executive Director, First 5 Santa Cruz County David noted two ongoing challenges:
• The impact of COVID pandemic (not unique to young children); these impacts are lasting (kids are not getting over it quickly). He hears from child care providers and caregivers that kids are not exhibiting typical social-emotional development for their age. Their overall ability to self-regulate emotions and interact with peers has been negatively impacted by pandemic-related isolation.
• Broader dysfunction in the early childhood and education (ECE) system. This was not caused by the pandemic but has been greatly exacerbated by COVID-related challenges. Child care is just too expensive for many parents, while also not providing adequate compensation to the workforce. This is an ongoing, systemic issue that requires massive public financing (like other industrialized countries). • On the plus side, David noted that state and local investments are moving in the right direction. Examples include Transitional Kindergarten expansion and new funding
18.36 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 35
streams that are bringing us closer to a publicly funded, high-quality, universal Pre-K system.
• He also is seeing increased investment by the state in initiatives like the Children’s Youth and Behavioral Health Initiative, which should bring enhanced resources to our county for trauma-informed training and services, home-based services for young children and families, and parenting support. Examples of local investments include the City of Santa Cruz Children’s Fund, CORE funding for United Way and the countywide Cradle to Career (C2C) initiative (including parent-led efforts and participation from families at Bayview and Gault elementary schools, among others); and the Thrive by 5 initiative. David is encouraged to see these efforts unfolding and supported by the focus of City and school partners on parent-centered approaches.
Julia Baltazar, Cradle to Career (C2C) Santa Cruz County Parent Leader and parent of Bayview Elementary
• Julia is a Spanish-speaking parent whose daughter is a third-grade student at Bayview Elementary. She and her partner work full-time but are having difficulties finding child care. Their biggest concern is housing, which is just not affordable for their family.
Rosario Chavez, C2C Parent Leader and parent of Mission Hill students • Rosario’s children are in the seventh and eighth grades at Mission Hill. She and her partner each work two jobs, making the minimum wage of $15-16/hour. They do not have affordable, accessible afterschool care, which is stressful for them and the children, too. Rosario and her partner have been trying to find a two-bedroom house or apartment, but the minimum rent is $3,600/month—completely unaffordable and unrealistic for their situation, despite working four jobs between them.
Adolescents
Jonah Chizinsky, Santa Cruz High School student
• Jonah shared several issues that are of concern to him and his friends. The main one was mental health struggles and the lack of support, especially coming out of COVID19 lockdowns. During the pandemic, students’ physical health also suffered. He was able to stay active by getting into surfing. This also led to learning about issues like coastal erosion and ocean safety. Ocean safety has been a top issue lately, especially after the recent drowning at Its Beach.
• Another issue affecting students is the lack of parking at Santa Cruz High School.
Jonah also shared that many students feel overwhelmed by homework and lack motivation. They could use better access to academic support and real-life skills that make learning more relevant, especially for youth supporting their families
18.37 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 36
Kris Munro, Superintendent, Santa Cruz City Schools
• Kris echoed others in noting the huge impact of the pandemic, noting that it had affected students and staff differently. In terms of strengths, reactions to the pandemic revealed incredible resilience among students, which continues. Progress was made in closing the digital divide, and funding from state and federal sources helped with these and other initiatives. Students stepped up and played leadership roles in different ways (in clubs, for causes such as racial equity, and other commitments to bettering the community). There’s strong student representation as trustees on the School Board. Participation in athletics and sports is at a high level – half of students participate in one or more sports. More students than ever qualify for 4-year college; graduation rates are above the state average; and lots of scholarships for CTE and college have been earned.
• In terms of challenges, mental health remains an ongoing issue. It was also an issue prior to the pandemic, but the pandemic’s disruption and isolation really amplified these issues. School counselors are seeing more diagnoses of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. To respond to the uptick in need, they are providing more counselors on campus (but there are still not enough) and holding mental health popup days to destigmatize help-seeking behaviors. They also are offering suicide awareness for all middle school and high school students and expanding the K-8 social-emotional learning curriculum (with some in later grades, too). School staff and counselors are also working to address social media use and its effects on mental health.
DC Lawson-Thomas, City of Santa Cruz Parks & Recreation • DC works directly with City schools on initiatives like Safe Spaces and the Teen Center, addressing community need by creating programs that the Parks and Recreation team can offer. Looking ahead, they are trying to expand their outreach so that more people use spaces and programs, especially with an equity lens. One way to address equity is to offer scholarships for those who might not be able to afford activities, but the demand for scholarships for programs has been “through the roof,” and they are unable to meet the demand.
18.38 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 37
Young Adults
Grace Casteel, UCSC Student
• Echoing what others have said, Grace noted a lot of uncertainty and anxiety among her classmates, but also is seeing strong leadership and engagement with things they care about. She and her friends see opportunities to join together across age groups to help the community, making sure policies are informed, and taking advantage of opportunities to connect like mentoring.
Matt Wetstein, President, Cabrillo College
• Matt sees promising signs of how more students have access to higher education through programs like dual enrollment in high school and Cabrillo; students can take courses at no cost and currently have between 900-1,000 high school students enrolled each semester. Expanding online offerings also has helped increase access.
Partnerships (e.g., with Pájaro Valley USD and County Office of Education) has helped Cabrillo pursue funding opportunities together for arts education, adult education, and more.
• The mental health needs of students have grown, as others have said, with demands for services at an all-time high (approximately double pre-pandemic levels, seeing about 100 students a month with mental health appointments). Some is the impact of COVID, including more isolation, less connection. Some is the role of social media.
For Cabrillo students, many also face challenges with housing costs and food insecurity, which are the most acute problems for Cabrillo students. More students are experiencing homelessness, leading to efforts to build housing on both the UCSC and Cabrillo campuses so that there can be more affordable options for students. • Connecting back to the child care conversation that David started with, the Cabrillo College Early Childhood Education (ECE) program meets the demand for quality child care for students and staff, while also educating providers. The mental health needs of students have grown, with demands for services at an all-time high (approximately double pre-pandemic levels, seeing about 100 students a month with mental health appointments). Some of the increased demand is related to the impact of COVID (more isolation, less connection), and some is related to the role of social media.
18.39 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 38
THEMES AND IDEAS FROM SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS
1. What is your biggest question or concern about the well-being of children and youth in this age group?
Early Childhood and School-Aged
• Que todos los niños tengan derecho a una educación temprana (That all children have the right to early education)
• Parents who feel disconnected and overwhelmed
• How can we expand access to Triple P (Positive Parenting Program)? More integration in other spaces, more parent-led Triple P classes … • What can we do to expand quality affordable child care and ECE workforce (with good wages and benefits)?
• How can we provide more affordable recreational activities for this age group? • Demand for mental health is also a positive indication of destigmatizing mental health care; Are increasing mental health services demands partially driven by new awareness of and ownership over mental health in our youth and young adults? In short, are our youth demanding more from us? Adolescents
• More spaces for youth to hang out at (like Circle Church); Students said they didn’t know about the City’s Teen Center
• Don’t feel like there is a venue to share ideas for all youth • Mental health – lack of support, out-of-school care (therapy) is extremely expensive, especially if not covered by insurance
• Youth are not taught how to respond to mental health behaviors • Kids not knowing that they have a learning disability (comes out in different ways, i.e., behavior)
• Prevalence of substance abuse in the community, particularly downtown • LGBTQ+ support feels very forced
• Need more student involvement in creating what the school clubs are, planning extra-curricular activities and club events
• Very little school spirit; Don’t feel connected; Join clubs as a “last resort” • Need for diversity in student leadership bodies
• More diverse youth representatives at student union (survey, backgrounds are different, selection process) to create a more equitable youth representation • Santa Cruz High parking issue (parking permits available free or low cost)
18.40 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 39
Young Adults
• Young adults dealing with anxiety, leaning into drugs and then they destroy their lives going down that path
• Would like to know about services for Transitional Age Youth and job opportunities for work for students without social security cards.
2. What policies and programs would make life better for children and youth in this age group and their families?
Early Childhood and School-Aged
• Más actividades desde TK prescolar como cuidado de niños y más actividades (More activities from Transitional Kindergarten preschool, like child care and more activities)
• Trabajar con las diferentes organizaciones para brindar todos los recursos desde la primera infancia (Work with the different organizations to provide all resources from early childhood onwards)
• Infant and toddler care during non-traditional hours
• Increase access to hybrid summer school / summer camp (make it fun) • Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) co-led by parents! • More Triple P and Triple P-like support in community settings, and for new age groups (e.g., teens)
Adolescents
• Access to food for all (free lunches)
• Harvey West Pool – access for youth of all ages and community (swim lessons, ocean safety, summer camps) – need funding to maintain
• Surfing for all; equitable access to surf for all youth (transportation, lessons, equipment, scholarship/low cost, diverse mentors)
• Ocean safety for all
• Resources/tools for youth to learn how to navigate aggressive or violent people who are houseless
• There should be a required class to help with college applications / essays / decisions for everyone (like AVID), make it mandatory
• City should be more present at the schools (reach out and be there) • Have schools be a true hub receive information and feel connected • “Center for Human Technology” social responsibility within tech
18.41 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 40
Young Adults
• We need housing, higher wages, better transit. Students’ interests are everyone’s interests.
• Better access to diagnosis of children to better fit their academic and psychological needs validating kids experiences with difficult teachers and adults, allowing confrontations to be two-sided, with two stories, and understanding that just because kids struggle to express emotions, that the root of those emotions are still valid.
• Big need for student peer mentors/tutors that can work at high schools while attending college.
• Better teacher understanding of students and their differences – what they react to and motivates them.
NEXT STEPS
Councilmember Shebreh Kalantari-Johnson thanked everyone for attending and noted some common themes across the different age groups, such as mental health challenges. As City Council members, she said, she and others would ask themselves about their role in responding to the issues raised during the community meeting, including specific programs and resources for youth, and looking at all their decisions through the lens of how they affect youth.
Participants were informed that later in the summer, a State of the Youth report (including ideas from the meeting as well as other data) will help inform the City Council’s decisionmaking and Children’s Fund allocations.
18.42 City of Santa Cruz - Report on the State of Child & Youth Well-being Optimal Solutions Consulting 41
APPENDIX C: CALIFORNIA STRONG START INDEX
The California Strong Start Index (https://strongstartindex.org/) was developed by the First 5 Center for Children’s Policy, First 5 Association of California, and the Children’s Data Network. Using data from birth records, the Index produces a standardized score of the conditions into which children are born. The 12 “birth assets” included in the Index were selected based on research indicating their robust relationship between child health and well-being outcomes.
The Strong Start score is calculated by counting the number of birth assets (0-12) in these domains:
Family Health Service Financial
1) Legal parentage
established at birth
2) Born to non-teen
parents
3) Born to parents
with at least a high
school diploma
4) Healthy
birthweight
5) Absence of
congenital
anomalies,
abnormalities, or
complications at
birth
6) Absence of
transmissible
(mother-to-child)
infections
7) Access to and
receipt of timely
prenatal care
8) Receipt of
nutritional
services (WIC) if
eligible
9) Hospital with
high percentage
of births with
timely prenatal
care
10) Ability to afford
and access
healthcare
11) Born to a parent
with a college
degree
12) Born to parents
with employment
history
The Strong Start Index can be used to understand the number of assets children have at birth, including identifying areas of the community in which children have fewer assets at birth and where additional services and supports may be important to promote equity.

• What are the Opportunities for Action by the City of Santa Cruz?
18.52 Amplify Strengths & Assets
While the increased demand for mental health services is concerning, it also could be a positive indication that there is less stigma about seeking mental health care. “Are the increasing mental health services demands partially driven by new awareness of and ownership over mental health in our youth and young adults? In short, are our youth demanding more from us?”
Community Insights
Reactions to the pandemic revealed incredible resilience among SCCS students, which continues. Students stepped up and played leadership roles in different ways e.g., in clubs, for causes such as racial equity, and other commitments to bettering the community. There’s strong student representation as trustees on the School Board. • What factors contribute to these trends?
