A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

CITY OF SANTA MARIA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE ADDITION AND UPDATE

OF USER FEES IDENTIFIED IN THE ANNUAL USER FEE UPDATE
AND USER FEE SCHEDULE 2024
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Maria’s last comprehensive Citywide User Fee Study was completed in 2021; and
WHEREAS, at the April 4, 2023, City Council Meeting, a public hearing was held, and the City Council adopted Resolution 2023-58 approving the addition and update of User Fees identified in the Annual User Fee Update and Proposed Fee authorizing increase of user fees identified in phased-in category; and WHEREAS, the City contracted with Revenue and Cost Specialist to complete an Annual User Fee Update and User Fee Schedule 2024 based on the 2020 Comprehensive Fee Study, using updated salary and position data and Fiscal Year 2023- 24 budget (Attachment A of the Council Agenda Report, and Exhibit A of the Resolution and incorporated herein by reference); and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 2-24.105 of the Santa Maria Municipal Code, cost and revenue data regarding the proposed new fees was made publicly available in the City Clerk’s Office at least 10 days prior to the June 4, 2024, public hearing date; and
WHEREAS, after deliberation, the City recommends that the City Council adopt the fees as proposed in the Annual User Fee Update and Proposed User Fee Schedule (Attachment A and Attachment B of the Council Agenda Report and incorporated herein by reference); and
WHEREAS, the City will continue to update user fees annually using the Consumer Price Index, in accordance with Section 2-24.202 of the Santa Maria Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, to provide clarity for ratepayers as to the actual rates authorized by the City Council, the City has prepared a comprehensive itemization, User Fee Schedule (Exhibit A) of the individual fees to be imposed that will be become effective July 1, 2024.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa Maria, California, as follows:

1. The City Council finds and determines that Citywide user-specific services described in the Annual User Fee Update and User Fee Schedule 2024, and incorporated herein by reference, are provided for the benefit of specific individual groups and not for the benefit of the general public and taxpayers; and therefore, said services should be paid by the user in an amount sufficient to adequately cover the cost to the City; and

2. The City Council hereby establishes the fees for these services as set forth in the Annual User Fee Update and User Fee Schedule 2024, and is incorporated herein by reference, and directs the Department of Finance to update the fee schedule to reflect these fees effective July 1, 2024; and

3. The City Council hereby adopts the updated fees, and shown in Exhibit A, incorporated herein by reference, and directs the City Manager, or designee, to coordinate with the Department of Finance to implement the fees effective July 1, 2024; and

4. The City Council hereby acknowledges, if not explicitly outlined in the Annual User Fee Update and User Fee Schedule 2024, fees including Building, Recreation and Parks, and most Library fees will be reestablished with no change; and

5. The Chief Deputy City Clerk is hereby authorized to make minor changes herein to address clerical errors, so long as substantial conformance of the intent of this document is maintained. In doing so, the Chief Deputy City Clerk shall consult with the City Manager and City Attorney concerning any changes deemed necessary.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Interim Recreation and Parks Director Angela Oslund SUBJECT: Urban Forest Management Plan
Description:

The City of Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Department's Urban Forest Management Plan serves as a comprehensive strategy for the management and enhancement of the City's urban tree canopy. This plan establishes clear goals and objectives pertaining to tree preservation, strategic planting initiatives, systematic maintenance practices, and active community engagement. Addressing critical issues such as biodiversity, environmental sustainability, and the multifaceted benefits of a thriving urban forest, the management plan exemplifies the department's commitment to fostering a healthy and resilient green infrastructure within the community. Through thoughtful planning and execution, the department aims to create a sustainable and vibrant urban environment that maximizes the social, economic, and ecological advantages of a flourishing urban forest.

Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.

RECOMMENDATION:
1) Receive and file the City of Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Department's Urban Forest Management Plan; and
2) Provide staff with direction on the development of necessary Ordinances and the review of existing Ordinances to support the implementation of the Urban Forest Management Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The Recreation and Parks staff have secured two Urban Forest Improvement Grants from the State of California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention (CalFire). The first grant supported the updating of the tree inventory, accomplished successfully alongside the planting of 500 trees. Subsequently, the second grant mandated the development of an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP), the planting of 237 trees, and the integration of education and outreach initiatives. These endeavors have laid the foundation for potential future CalFire grants, indicating the City's commitment to ongoing 2 enhancements to the Urban Forest. Having an UFMP is crucial as it provides a structured framework for effective management, preservation, and enhancement of our urban forest resources. Such a plan ensures coordinated efforts among various stakeholders, sets clear objectives for tree planting and maintenance, and addresses emerging challenges such as pests, diseases, and climate change impacts. Additionally, it promotes community engagement and education, fostering a culture of stewardship and appreciation for our urban trees. The Recreation and Parks Commission has approved the Plan and directed staff to bring it to the City Council.

DISCUSSION:

Over the past 14 months, Dudek, a consulting firm renowned for their expertise in Forest Management Plans, has collaborated closely with Recreation and Parks staff and Public Works to develop the plan. Concurrently, the Urban Forest Committee of the Recreation and Parks Commission has convened monthly, offering valuable insight and meticulously reviewing the evolving document. To ensure community engagement and input, the Department has undertaken comprehensive outreach efforts, disseminating information through both traditional paper formats and electronic channels. This holistic approach underscores the Department's commitment to creating a well-informed and inclusive Urban Forest Management Plan. Following the receipt of the UFMP presentation, the next crucial step is to initiate an ordinance review. This review is imperative for aligning local regulations and policies with the goals and strategies outlined in the UFMP.

Alternative(s)
For the Council's consideration, the following options are presented regarding the Urban Forest Management Plan:

1. Receive and File the Urban Forest Management Plan with Amendments:

This option allows for the receipt of the Urban Forest Management Plan with the acknowledgment that amendments may be necessary in the future. By adopting this approach, the Council commits to periodic reviews and updates, ensuring the plan's continued relevance and effectiveness over time.

2. Postpone Receipt Pending Further Review:

If there are reservations about certain aspects of the plan, the Council may choose to postpone receipt. This would provide additional time for Council members, stakeholders, and the public to offer feedback and for the plan to undergo further review or revision.

3. Do Not Move Forward with the Urban Forest Management Plan:

Alternatively, the Council may determine that the Urban Forest Management Plan is not suitable for implementation. This option involves not receiving the plan and, if necessary, initiating a process to reassess the approach to urban forest management. 3 Fiscal Considerations
Moving the UFMP forward involves fiscal considerations, including initial implementation costs for tree planting, maintenance, and potential infrastructure upgrades. Ongoing expenses for maintenance, staffing, and outreach efforts are essential for sustaining a healthy urban forest and community engagement. Allocating resources thoughtfully is crucial for the UFMP's successful long-term effectiveness.

Impact on the Community
The implementation of the UFMP offers significant benefits to the community. It enhances the overall quality of life by promoting cleaner air, reduced urban heat, and improved aesthetics through increased greenery. A well-managed urban forest contributes to stormwater management, reducing the risk of flooding, and erosion. A strong urban forest fosters biodiversity providing habitats for wildlife and promoting mental and physical wellbeing through recreational opportunities in green spaces.

1. INTRODUCTION
SANTA MARIA URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN | 2

1.1 Why the City Needs a UFMP
In 2017, the City of Santa Maria (City) was awarded a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)
grant to complete an inventory of the City’s trees and plant over 500 trees in the City, and in 2021 the City was awarded an additional CAL FIRE grant to complete an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) and plant an additional 235 trees.

This UFMP has been developed to guide tree planting and maintenance in the City over the next 40 years, provides guidance for updating the City’s tree ordinance, and provides goals, strategies, and actions for achieving the shared vision for Santa Maria’s urban forest. This UFMP provides a comprehensive, fiscally sustainable, and cohesive City-wide approach to tree care and planting on both public and private property, provides recommended updates to the City’s tree ordinance, and provides guidance for sustainably managing the City’s urban forest and creating a more equitable City.

Santa Maria has been a designated Tree City USA since 1991 and holds an annual Arbor Day celebration, demonstrating the City’s long-term commitment to urban forestry. Tree City USA requirements include maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry, and celebrating Arbor Day (Arbor Day Foundation, 2022). For Arbor Day
2023, the City, with the support of its Urban Forest Advisory Committee, planted 10 trees in a City park.

Santa Maria has experienced many tree and infrastructure conflicts over the years, which have led to liabilities and nuisances to the public, and expenditures to remove trees and repair damaged infrastructure. Planning and caring for the City’s urban forest allows for proper tree maintenance, spacing, and avoidance of potential conflicts, allowing trees to mature without damaging infrastructure. Trees that are allowed to grow to their full potential and complete a full life cycle provide more environmental services and benefits to the community.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.2 Why Trees?
Environmental stressors continue to impact the day-to-day activities of communities across California’s landscape. Extreme heat, drought, longer fire seasons, increasing levels of air pollutants, and severe flooding events expose many residents to a variety of climate and health risks. Many of these existing and projected environmental conditions are already impacting Santa Maria. One effective mitigation strategy to help alleviate these risks is to have a well-managed sustainable urban forest.

A functioning urban forest provides multi-benefit solutions to environmental issues that result in a safer, more resilient city.

Santa Maria’s UFMP provides the framework for effective tree management and policies that positions the City to understand the value of the urban forest while pursuing a sustainable environment. Additionally, placemaking is the practice of creating places that are focused on greater community
engagement, enhancing and activating the public realm,
promoting better health, or otherwise improving the quality of life. Trees play a critical role in placemaking and provide many co-benefits. A properly maintained urban forest contributes to a more resilient future and increased quality of life for existing and future generations of Santa Maria resident.

WHY TREES?

BENEFITS OF TREES
The UFMP provides guidance for sustainably
managing the City’s urban forest and creating
a more equitable City. Trees and associated
vegetation in urban areas provide environmental,
social, and economic benefits to communities
(see Figure 1. Benefits of Trees). Through
equitable distribution of the City’s green
infrastructure, the City can take positive steps
toward creating a more equitable Santa Maria. The
guiding principles, goals and strategies included in
the Strategic Plan of the UFMP (Section 4) reflect
the core values of the City, key stakeholders, and
community members who contributed to plan
development. These strategies will ensure the
community will have access to the benefits of an
enhanced urban forest.

BENEFITS OF TREES IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT

HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL/INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES

CLEANER AIR
Trees absorb pollutants and filter
particulates out of the air by trapping
them on their leaves and bark.

RAINWATER

CAPTURE
Trees capture
rainfall, recharging
groundwater
supplies and
help prevent
stormwater from
carrying
pollutants to
the ocean.

SHADE
Trees cool cities by up to
10˚F and shaded areas
can be 20-40˚F cooler
than peak
temperatures.

WILDLIFE HABITAT
Trees support the
lives of many
wildlife and insect
species and provide
them with food,
shelter, and
nesting sites.

HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES
Trees improve mental health and
public health by decreasing respiratory
illnesses and encouraging
outdoor recreation.

CONNECTING

WITH NEIGHBORS
Trees can encourage civic
pride while tree plantings
provide opportunities for
community involvement.

FRESH FOOD
Trees provide food
in the form of fruits,
nuts, leaves, bark,
and roots.

BEAUTY
Trees add character to city
streets and residential areas
as they radiate with colors,
flowers, textures, and shapes.

SAVING ENERGY
Shade trees can lower air-conditioning
costs 56% annually, burning fewer
fossil fuels.

URBAN HEAT
As temperatures increase, heat is absorbed and reemitted by buildings, roads, and other hardscape in urban settings. This occurrence, known as the
“urban heat island effect,” results in urbanized
areas experiencing higher temperatures relative
to surrounding natural or rural areas. Elevated
temperatures in urban areas contribute to compromised
human health and comfort, which can result in heatrelated illness and heat-related deaths (EPA 2020).

Currently, extreme heat causes more deaths than
any other weather-related hazard, with particularly
vulnerable groups consisting of the elderly, unhoused
populations, and those with pre-existing conditions
(Sherman 2020). Tree canopies reduce the urban heat
island effect (see Figure 2) by lowering surface and air temperatures through shade and evapotranspiration
(Loughner et al. 2012). Surface temperatures may be
20°F to 45°F (11°F to 25°C) cooler under the shade
of a tree than areas with no tree cover (EPA 2019).

Further, on a sunny day, hardscape surfaces, such as
asphalt, concrete, or roofs, can reach temperatures
that are 50°F to 90°F hotter than the surrounding air
temperature (EPA 2021).

1. INTRODUCTION

RIGHT TREE, RIGHT PLACE
The urban forestry concept known as “right
tree, right place” considers that tree selection
should be matched to the growing conditions.

Consideration must be given to tree species
and size, planter size, potential conflicts (e.g.,
utilities, sidewalks, or other infrastructure),
climate resilience, and desired outcome of a
tree planting (e.g., shade, privacy screening,
noise buffering, aesthetics, food, etc). Figure 3
provides a depiction of the tree size relative to
planter size and the resulting shade provided by
the tree. Further, Figure 4a and 4b provides tree
spacing guidelines for residential yard trees
and street trees. Ensuring that trees are able
to grow to their full potential is essential to a
sustainable urban forest.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
In 2021, the City was awarded a grant from the CAL FIRE Prop 68 Urban and Community Forestry Grant Fund to complete
the Santa Maria UFMP. The City’s Recreation and Parks
Department is the main City entity that is responsible for overseeing the UFMP’s development and implementation. City staff provided key insights into City practices, standards, and plans, and provided operational information and data sets for analysis of the existing urban forestry program. The following sections present key findings of the urban forest analysis and describes the process taken in developing the UFMP.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
A public survey was used to gather community input via an online platform and paper surveys distributed at community events. Additionally, a Working Group, consisting of the City’s Urban Forest Advisory Committee, met six times throughout the UFMP development process. City staff, community members, and the Working Group/Urban Forest Advisory Committee
assisted with creating a vision and strategic plan for the urban forest. The community engagement process revealed that
community members who were engaged during the UFMP
process highly value trees and recognize a need for improved tree management by both the City and private property owners.

Community members desire to play a role in growing and
managing the urban forest, such as through volunteer events or planting trees on their private property.

1. INTRODUCTION

CANOPY COVER
A City-wide canopy cover
assessment and canopy change
analysis was conducted using
United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service
urban tree canopy data from 2012
and 2018. Santa Maria’s City-wide
canopy cover as of 2018 is low
(5.5%), but has increased slightly
since 2012 (5.3%). Approximately
1,000 trees per year will need to be
planted to reach the City’s canopy
cover goal of 20%. Tree planting on
public and private property will be
needed to reach this goal.

Santa Maria will need to add
trees on public and private
property to reach its canopy
cover goals. Over the next 40
years the City will need to plant:
1,063 trees per year = 20% canopy cover
696 trees per year = 15% canopy cover
330 trees per year = 10% canopy cover

CITY-MANAGED TREE INVENTORY
The City’s tree inventory was analyzed against
sustainability indicators based on urban forestry
research to ensure Santa Maria’s urban forest is
well-suited for the future. i-Tree Eco, a software
tool developed by the USDA Forest Service, was
used to analyze tree inventory records to determine
the values of the environmental services provided
by the City’s trees. Nearly 50% of the City’s tree
inventory is considered young, indicating a relatively
newly planted urban forest. Previous tree planting,
maintenance, and preservation practices in the
City led to frequent tree removal, resulting in fewer
middle-aged and mature trees. The City has a
species diverse tree inventory; this UFMP will help
to ensure appropriate species for Santa Maria’s
climate are being planted.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT
Interviews were conducted with City staff to obtain
information regarding City tree management. Data was
collected and reviewed, including annual budgets, staffing levels, and tree services performed by the City, as well as tree management practices. Urban forest management in
the City has improved in recent years. Additional staff and funding are needed to sustainably maintain Santa Maria’s urban forest and reach urban forestry goals. The City
spends $37 per tree annually, which is considered low to medium when compared to other cities.

CITY PLANNING
Policies, ordinances, and planting standards/guidelines were reviewed against ISA and ANSI standards and best
management practices. Existing planning documents were
evaluated for goals and policies that represent strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to the urban forest. The City’s broader planning objectives support
increased tree planting and tree preservation and recognize the importance of trees to the quality of life in Santa Maria.

The City’s tree ordinance is in need of an update to align with the City’s urban forestry goals.

2.1 WORKING GROUP
The City’s UFMP Working Group was formed to bring together key personnel and stakeholders to help advise the UFMP’s development process. The Working Group consisted of City staff from the Recreation and Parks Department and the
City’s existing Urban Forest Advisory Committee, a group of individuals who meet monthly to enhance the City’s
urban forestry program.. Five working group meetings were held between September 2022 and July 2023, facilitated
by Dudek. During the working group meetings, members
were guided through a series of brainstorming exercises to generate a draft UFMP vision statement; develop the guiding principles, goals, and strategies of the UFMP; and review and provide feedback on the draft UFMP. Table 1 provides a summary of key insights and major themes that emerged during Working Group meetings.

2.2 PUBLIC SURVEY
An online survey in English and Spanish was created to
identify the public’s perception and understanding of the City’s trees and to offer a space for public feedback as the City developed its UFMP. The 24-question survey was open between August 30, 2022, and March 1, 2023, and

URBAN FOREST
SANTA MARIA URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN | 24

3. STATUS OF THE URBAN FOREST

3.1 CANOPY COVER
Canopy cover refers to the layer of leaves, branches, and stems that provide tree coverage of the ground when
viewed from above. The urban tree canopy provides
multiple environmental services and economic value to
the surrounding community. A robust tree canopy that
is equitably distributed helps to create a healthier, more resilient community, and the environmental benefits and services received from the urban forest increase as tree canopy increases (Clark et al. 1997). Likewise, low canopy cover can result in increased vulnerability to pollution, extreme heat, and associated health issues. Residents who live beneath dense tree canopy experience greater tree
benefits than residents who live in areas of low tree canopy.

For example, low canopy cover may be an indicator of a
community’s vulnerability to pollution, extreme heat, and associated potential health issues (Wolf et al. 2020). Trees contribute to cleaner, healthier air in urban environments through direct pollution removal (e.g., uptake via leaf stomata or intercepting airborne particles); air temperature reductions (e.g., transpiration); and reduction of urban heat islands, building energy consumption, and consequent energy emissions (e.g., temperature reductions provided by tree shade). These community enhancements provided by
tree canopy cover improve the quality of life for residents and businesses.

A citywide canopy cover assessment and canopy change
analysis was conducted for Santa Maria using freely available U.S. Forest Service canopy data from 2018 and purchased imagery from 2012. Detailed results from the canopy cover analysis are included in Appendix B.

Figure 6 depicts the results of the canopy cover assessment.

The canopy cover assessment revealed that Santa Maria has an existing canopy cover of approximately 5.5% (as of 2018 U.S. Forest Service canopy imagery). This is increased from a canopy cover of approximately 5.3% in 2012.

Tree inventory and canopy cover application analysis and visualizations were created using R (v4.2.1; R Core Team, 2022) in RStudio (v6.0.421; Posit Team, 2023) using the packages tidyverse (v1.3.1; Wickham et al., 2019), ggplot2 (v3.3.6; Wickham, 2016), patchwork (v1.1.1; Pedersen, 2020), ggtext (v0.1.2; Wilke & Wiernik, 2022), scales (v1.2.0; Wickham & Seidel, 2022), units (v0.8-0; Pebesma & Mailund, 2016), sf (v1.0-9; Pebesma, 2018), and tmap (v3.3-3; Tennekes, 2018).
25 | SANTA MARIA URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN

3.1.1 Increasing Canopy Cover
Santa Maria has set a goal of increasing canopy
cover, as 5.3% is relatively low. For comparison,
nearby jurisdictions with comparable climate
and historical development patterns, such as
the Cities of Lompoc and San Luis Obispo, have
canopy covers of 15%–24% in the majority of their
city boundaries (USFS 2018). The number of trees
needed to increase canopy cover is shown in
Figure 7. Figure 8 shows the number of trees that
should be planted annually. These calculations
assume a mix of trees with canopy spreads ranging
from 20-foot- to 75-foot-diameter canopies. The
combination of tree sizes is based on the existing
planter sizes found throughout Santa Maria.

Historically, up to 40% canopy cover was
considered a realistic goal for urban areas. With
advancements in urban forestry research, it has
been found that a realistic canopy cover goal
must consider the environmental conditions and
historical canopy cover of the region. For example,
forested areas have the potential for a canopy
cover of approximately 38%, grasslands have the
potential for approximately 23% canopy cover, and

SANTA MARIA URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN | 26
desert areas have potential for approximately 15% canopy cover (Nowak & Greenfield, 2018). Agricultural land globally has at least a 10% tree cover, which has increased by 2% over the previous ten years (Zomer 2016). Santa Maria, with its unique mix of agricultural and urban land uses, has set a canopy cover goal of 20% to be achieved by planting 1,063 trees per year over a 40-year time frame. Achieving 20% canopy cover will require coordination with other large landowners and private property owners, preserving the
existing canopy, and planting new trees wherever feasible.

Santa Maria has set a canopy cover goal of 20% to
be achieved by planting 1,063 trees per year over a
40-year time frame.

3.1.2 Canopy Equity
The California Environmental Protection Agency’s
CalEnviroScreen (CES) 4.0 online tool identifies California communities that are disproportionately burdened by
pollution and have a higher vulnerability to the health effects of pollution (OEHHA 2018). The tool uses indicators of exposure, environmental effects, sensitive population, and socioeconomic factors to assess the cumulative impact of pollution burden, health conditions, and socioeconomic stressors on California communities. Each census tract is given a CES score ranging from 0 to 100, which identifies that community’s pollution burden and vulnerability. The scores are then categorized into CES percentiles, which identifies inequities associated with pollution throughout the state.

CES percentiles from 1%–9% indicate the least vulnerable and CES percentiles from 91%–100% indicate the most
vulnerable communities in California (OEHHA 2021).

Figure 9 shows a map of the CES percentiles for census
tracts within the canopy cover analysis area. Figure 10 depicts the tree canopy cover percent by CES percentile range. As shown, census tracts with the least vulnerability to pollution (0%–9% CES range) have a much higher canopy cover (17%) than the rest of the City. Census tracts with the highest vulnerability to pollution in Santa Maria (70%–79% CES range) have a lower canopy cover (approximately
2%) than the Citywide canopy average. The California
Environmental Protection Agency designates all census
tracts with CES percentiles above 75% as a disadvantaged community, meaning that their pollution burden and
vulnerability is severe. These communities are targeted for investments from the California Cap-and-Trade Program
(OEHHA 2022). Planting trees in targeted areas of the City that have a higher vulnerability to pollution and health effects of pollution can be a powerful tool toward creating a more equitable Santa Maria.

Figure 11 displays the percentages of different racial/ ethnic groups represented Citywide and within census
tracts with different canopy cover levels. As shown, areas with highest canopy cover percentage (15%–19.9%) have a higher proportion of white population (63.3%). Conversely, areas with lower canopy cover have a higher proportion
non-white groups.

The areas of the city that are
most vulnerable to pollution
have a lower canopy cover
(approximately 2%) compared
to the average City-wide canopy
cover (approximately 5.5%).

3.1.3 Canopy Cover by Land Use Type
Land use type is an important component of canopy cover analysis, as different land use types have higher potential to support increased canopy cover. For example, parks
generally present opportunities for planting large trees, which can greatly contribute to increasing canopy and
provide greater environmental benefits than multiple small trees. Likewise, residential land uses present opportunities to increase canopy cover through tree planting on private property. Examples of ways this can be accomplished include educational campaigns, tree giveaway programs, or street tree plantings in the right-of-way.

As shown in Figure 12, planned development residential uses have seen the greatest increase in canopy cover, as trees are planted within these areas as a part of development requirements. Land uses with the most canopy cover include open space (10.9%), planned development – residential
medium density (8.4%), and public space (7.6%). High canopy cover in public space contributes to community character and placemaking. Ensuring new trees are planted along
with downtown revitalization is critical to maintaining and increasing canopy cover in public space.

Industrial and commercial uses have notably lower canopy cover than the Citywide average. This is typical of most cities but also presents opportunities for increasing canopy in these areas. The City requires trees to be planted in commercial and industrial development; however, tree care, pruning, and maintenance is conducted by private property owners and there is no ongoing monitoring by the City.

3.2 City-Managed Tree Inventory
Santa Maria’s tree inventory was first completed in 2002 and updated in 2017. The inventory includes 35,605 data points, including 26,465 Citymanaged trees, as well as vacant sites (8,962), stump sites (167), and not City planted/maintained trees (11). The inventory is updated daily or weekly as work is performed. The City’s stocking rate is 74%. The City’s tree inventory was analyzed using i-Tree, a peer-reviewed software suite developed by USDA Forest Service that provides urban and rural forestry analysis and benefits assessment tools. This analysis utilized the iTree-Eco tool which provides urban forest and individual tree analyses including functional analyses, structure and composition analyses, forecasting modeling, and management information (USDA 2023).

Appendix C-1 and C-2 contain the full analysis of the tree inventory and key highlights are presented below.

3.2.1 Sustainability Indicators
Cities with tree inventories that lack species diversity and age diversity may be more susceptible to invasive pests, pathogens, or significant weather events, because biological diversity is often regarded as the basis for ecological stability (Tilman and Downing 1994). While not all introduced invasive species result in destructive losses to urban forests, an important strategy to increase resiliency to threats is to foster a diverse urban forest.

Santa Maria
has 26,465
City-managed
trees.

The tree inventory identified
4,605 vacant tree planting
sites, and an additional 4,523
“potential” tree planting
sites. These represent
opportunities for additional
tree plantings.

SANTA MARIA URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN | 36
Generally, a city’s tree inventory should contain no more than 10% of any one species, 20% of any one genus, or 30% of any one family (Miller and Miller 1991; Richards 1993; Ball 2007). A more stringent limitation of 5% of any one species and 10% of any one genus is commonly used to provide additional protection of the tree inventory (Ball et al. 2007). The City’s inventory contains 26,465 individual trees, comprised of 144 genera and 259 species. Currently, eight (8) of the top 10 species fall within the 5% recommendation (Queen palm [Syagrus romanzoffianum[ and Callery pear [Pyrus calleryana] slightly exceed the 5% recommendation), and the top 10
genera fall within the 10% recommendation (see Appendix C for further details). As the City continues to plant new trees, it should consider planting trees outside of these species that are overrepresented in the inventory. Section 3.4 provides a recommended species palette that considers this.

The age distribution of Santa Maria’s tree inventory can be estimated by examining trees’ diameters at standard height.

Santa Maria’s diameter at standard height distribution is shown in Table 5 and Figure 13. Based on urban forestry research (Richards 1983), an urban forest consisting of 40% immature trees, 30% young trees, 20% middle-aged trees, and 10% mature trees would represent a sustainable age
distribution. Santa Maria’s tree inventory has a notably higher percentage of young trees (49%) than the recommended
sustainability metric (30%). However, this can be attributed to the increase in tree planting that has occurred in the City more recently, representing a growing urban forest. The percentage of middle-aged trees (5.2%) is also notably lower than the recommended 20%, which can be attributed to a lack of tree preservation as the City has developed. Additionally, many large species trees were previously planted in small planters, resulting in tree removal as infrastructure conflicts have arisen.

3.2.2 Environmental Services/Economic Benefits
Santa Maria’s tree inventory provides the annual environmental services and benefits shown in Table 6. Santa Maria’s tree inventory has the financial value shown in Table 7. i-Tree Eco was used to analyze tree inventory records to determine the values of the environmental services provided by the City’s trees. In addition to these environmental services, Santa Maria’s inventory increases property values; provides shade, food, and habitat for wildlife; reduces urban heat islands; and increases public health outcomes. These services contribute directly to the community members’ quality of life, and discussing their merits is one method to encourage residents and business owners to participate in urban forest programs.

Santa Maria’s urban forest
removes 13.6 tons of air
pollution annually, including
ozone, sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen dioxide, carbon
monoxide, and particulate
matter < 2.5 micrometers.

It also produces 721 tons of
oxygen annually.

3.3 TREE PLANTING PRIORITY AND

OPPORTUNITY AREAS
The Priority Planting Score (PPS) prioritizes where the City should focus tree planting efforts by census tract for a more equitably distributed canopy cover, presented in Figure 14.

The study area for developing the PPS was limited to the canopy analysis study area. A higher PPS indicates a higher priority for focused tree planting efforts. PPS considers current canopy cover, distribution of land use type, total recorded City-managed vacant planting sites, pollution
burden and equity, and relative population and acreage.

The PPS multiplies a canopy gap index by a priority equity index for each census tract to calculate the relative tree planting needs within the study area. A canopy goal is
calculated for each census tract based on the current canopy, as well as distribution of land use types and vacant planting sites relative to other census tracts. The canopy gap index is then calculated based on the difference between the current canopy and the goal for each census tract. The canopy gap index is a number between 0 and 100, with a higher number indicating a greater gap between the current canopy cover and the goal. A priority equity index is calculated for each census tract based on CES, an equity-focused metric of
pollution vulnerability and burden, and relative population and acreage sizes. The priority equity index is a number between 0 and 1, with a higher number indicating a higher need for trees based on equity metrics.

3.4 RECOMMENDED TREE SPECIES
The City currently uses a recommended species list developed by the Department of Recreation and Parks. The current
list is out of date and the development arborist has allowed additional trees to be used with their review and approval.

As a result, tree selection varies by project, which can impact sustainability goals. Furthermore, given anticipated temperature increases, extended drought periods, and statemandated water restrictions, it is important to review the species planted in the urban landscape to ensure that trees are expected to thrive for the next 50 years. To accomplish this, the current City-recommended species list was reviewed against several factors including: tree inventory data, including existing tree health ratings by species; Water Use Classification of Landscape Species (WUCOLS); research on the suitability of street tree species given anticipated climate conditions (McBride, J.R., and Lacan 2018); a comparison of City tree inventories with anticipated future annual temperatures of Santa Maria; and discussions with City staff on existing tree health and performance.

Appendix D provides an updated recommended species list for use by all city departments. The list considers the following:
• A preference for trees that are rated as very low or low by the Water Use Classification of Landscape Species
• Adaptation to future heat and drought conditions
• Inclusion of well-adapted local and regionally native species
• Diverse planting size requirements to allow for various tree planting locations to encourage a “right tree, right place” philosophy of tree selection and planting
• A diversity of species to achieve species diversity
standards
• Options to reflect existing neighborhood character

3.5 URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT
One of the tenets of urban forest sustainability is that urban forests require human intervention (Clark et al. 1997).

The urban forest of Santa Maria is comprised primarily of planted trees, as well as naturally occurring trees along riparian corridors and open space areas. Trees in the urban environment need supplemental watering to establish
roots. As they grow and develop a canopy, the limbs and branches need pruning to increase safety and limit conflict with infrastructure. When trees die, they require removal and replacement, to complete the life cycle and start anew.

CITY INTERVIEWS
Between September and November 2022, Dudek conducted
interviews with City staff, elected officials, commissioners, and community members to better understand urban forest management in the City. Interviews were conducted virtually via Zoom. Eight individuals were interviewed, interviewees are shown in Table 8. The interviews explored the role each stakeholder had in influencing City tree management,
clarified internal City procedures, and informed areas where the City could improve management of the urban forest.

Major themes shared during the interviews are included in Appendix E.

3.5.2 Staffing and Contractors
The City uses a combination of in-house staff from the
Recreation and Parks Department and external contractors to implement tree maintenance Citywide. Collectively, inhouse staff oversee all City tree maintenance carried out by in-house staff and contractors. In-house staff include a parks operations manager, urban forest supervisor, urban forest technician, and laborer, two of whom are ISA Certified Arborists.

Full-time equivalents (FTEs) represent the percentage of staff time for staff who are involved with the municipal tree management program based on a 40-hour work week. The
total number of in-house FTEs involved with tree management for Santa Maria is 1.75 (Table 9). Staff who spend the most time dedicated to tree-related work include the urban forest supervisor (40% of time) and the urban forest technician (100% of time).

Staff who are responsible for overseeing tree maintenance and care maintain the following credentials:
• ISA Certified Arborist
• ISA Certified Municipal Specialist
• ISA Advanced Credential (Tree Risk Assessment

COMPARISON TO OTHER MUNICIPALITIES
Table 12 presents a comparison of the City’s budget and pertree spending with other cities. Populations and tree inventory sizes vary across these comparison cities. The City’s per-tree spending of $37 is lower than that of comparison cities ($44.85) in the Hauer and Peterson study (2016). However, the City’s per tree budget is in line with the average across the United States and Western United States (see Figures 17 and 18).

Table 13 compares the City’s tree management FTEs to other cities of comparable sizes. The City’s 1.75 FTEs is lower than the average (2.6 FTEs) reported by 87 cities in the Hauer and Peterson (2016) study. When considering the number of FTEs per 10,000 trees, the City’s 0.7 FTEs per 10,000 trees is also lower than comparison cities, reflecting a need for additional staff to sustainably manage the urban forest. Further, if staff numbers stay the same but all vacant tree planting sites are planted, the total number of City-managed trees would be 35,594, which would result in a per tree spending of $27. 51 | SANTA MARIA URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN

3.5.5 Management Practices
A Field Guide was developed as a companion document to
the UFMP, which includes the City defined best management practices (BMPs) for tree planting, maintenance care,
preservation and other related City practices. The BMP’s for the Field Guide are based on arboriculture and urban forestry standards developed by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Urban Tree Foundation, and experience of the
consultant team. The Field Guide is provided so City BMPs are clear and consistently applied by all staff, contractors, and others who interact with trees in Santa Maria.

3.5.6 Policies, Ordinances, Planting Guidelines
As part of the UFMP process, existing policies, ordinances, and planting guidelines were reviewed. Discussion and
suggested updates to existing policies and ordinances are detailed in Table 15. The policy/ordinance section numbering and current standards shown in Table 15 are pulled directly from existing City documents and the existing municipal code, and are intended to reflect section numbering therein.

A redline version of the tree ordinance (Chapter 8-8 of the municipal code) has been prepared to accompany this UFMP based on the recommendations presented below.

Trees shall be placed at the same
elevations that existed in their
containers
ISA best management practices guide recommends tree trunk flares be 0–2 inches above the soil grade. When the trunk flare is buried, the tree has a higher susceptibility to basal rot and draught. It is common for trees to come from nurseries with their trunk flare at a sub-optimal elevation. It may be necessary to remove excess soil to ensure that the trunk flare is not buried.

Suggested addition to accentuate standard (g):

In order to encourage biodiversity and minimal
water use, plants native to the Santa Barbara
County region should be prioritized.
(b) Passive and/or active solar access, for all proposed structures, as well as any adjacent existing structures, shall be considered in the placement of trees and selection of species.

Provide guidance to the community regarding
passive and active solar access. The Arbor Day
Foundation’s “How to Plant Trees to Conserve

used for energy savings and heat reduction
(Arbor Day Foundation 2023).
(c) Mowed turf shall not be used in narrow planters, raised beds, and other relatively small planters. However, it may be used when it serves as a landscape ground cover in a functional active recreation area, a retardation basin, a pedestrian accessway, a parkway, a front yard of a residence, or a highly visible planter area adjacent to the street.

Many Californian municipalities have shifted
away from the use of turfgrass due to longterm patterns of extreme drought. Even turfgrasses labeled as water conserving
require inefficient broadcast watering. The

Trees in planters adjacent to the parking area, as required by other sections of this ordinance, may be utilized to meet this requirement. (2) Parking areas shall be adequately landscaped to prevent large, uninterrupted expanses of paving.

(3) When the planter also serves as vehicular “overhang” area, a minimum width of four (4) feet of planting area per single row of parking and a minimum width of seven (7) feet of planting area per double row of parking shall be provided, unless more is required per other sections of Title 12, (i.e. setbacks).
(4) Three (3) foot high screening shall be provided using berms, shrubs, or a combination thereof, to screen parking areas from public streets.

This does not preclude the use of trees in such areas as long as trees are planted a minimum of ten (10) feet from any driveway approach to avoid sight obstructions.
(5) Special consideration shall be given to the placement of trees and shrubs in parking lot planters to maintain safe distances from vehicular travel ways, driveways, and walkways for proper visibility.

Consider revising this section as follows to
set minimum tree planting requirements
for parking lots such that potential conflicts
are reduced and progress toward increasing
canopy cover can be achieved.
(1) consider setting a minimum 20% canopy
cover target for parking lots. Rather than a
number of trees per parking spaces, a canopy
cover target for the entire parking lot (e.g.,
20% parking lot shading) can help to prioritize
the planting of large trees, as well as ensure
progress toward the City’s canopy cover goals.

This should be calculated based on the species
planted and potential canopy spread within a
certain timeframe (typically 15 years ).
(2) The City’s minimum 10-foot planter width
helps to ensure adequate space for trees.

Prioritize fewer large planters over multiple
small planters when meeting the parking lot
landscaping requirements.
(3) clarify whether trees are intended to be
planted in this size planter
(4) Consider modifying to further encourage the
use of trees in screening. Consult with Public
Works and Engineering to determine the best
approach for avoiding sight obstructions.

recommended that a tree protection
plan is included with the Landscape
Documentation Package. In both situations,
the following should be included:
• Number and location of trees on site to
be preserved
• Size metrics for tree (height, diameter
at breast height)
• Tree protection zones: fenced area
surrounding tree within which no
grade changes, compaction, or other
construction activities may take place

GENERAL PLAN
The Santa Maria General Plan serves as a blueprint for the physical development of the City. Based on California Government Code Section 65300, the General Plan includes a Land Use Element, Circulation Element, Noise Element, Safety Element, Resource Management Element, Housing Element, and Economic Development Element. The General Plan is currently being updated, with the updated version anticipated to be completed in early 2024. The current edition of the General Plan has been reviewed for purposes of the UFMP. However, future updates to the UFMP should consider the updated 2040 General Plan when it becomes available.

a minimum number of trees along active
transportation routes to achieve City canopy
cover goals of at least 20% in design of active
transportation routes to create safer, more appealing
routes. Active transportation routes present
opportunities to target a higher canopy cover
percentage to offset lower canopy areas of the City.

Additionally, shade provided by trees creates more
appealing, safer, and higher use active transportation
routes (Wolf 2010; Langenheim 2020). The City
should identify tree planting opportunities along
active transportation routes throughout the City.

1. Draft and adopt an ordinance establishing the means to preserve “locally important” trees and identified plant and animal habitats.

2. Designate portions of the Santa Maria River, Orcutt Creek and other waterways as greenbelt areas whereby riparian habitats may be preserved.

5. Require street trees to be incorporated into the design and plans of new developments.

6. Preserve and maintain existing trees along and in public streets and parking lots.

7. Enforce the tree replacement standards contained in Chapter 44 of Title 12 of the Municipal Code.

8. Provide incentives to residents and businesses to plant “clean” trees which support the Biomass Pollution Shed Program.

9. Enforce the existing ordinance that requires developers of new buildings to plant trees and shrubs to improve energy efficiency and to preserve existing trees on building sites.

10. Require all new residential development to be annexed into a City Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District to ensure the continued maintenance of landscaping that benefits the public and the environment.

11. Require as conditions of development, where appropriate, the dedication and improvement of greenbelt rights-of-way.

Accomplishments to Date:

1. In 1993, the City revised its landscape standards contained in Chapter 44 of Title 12 of the Municipal Code.

2. In 1995, a revised street tree ordinance was adopted.

Anticipated Results:

1. Adoption of a preservation ordinance for locally important trees and habitats.

2. Expansion of the Santa Maria Urban Forest.

3. Establishment of greenbelt areas in the City, and in the unincorporated areas surrounding the City.

1. An ordinance to support identification
and protection of “locally important”
trees is in line with the goals of the
UFMP. Consider how “locally important”
trees differ from Heritage Trees.

Designation of such trees should
consider trees of a certain size,
species, age, etc.

2. Similar to the discussion above,
identifying opportunities for greenbelts
supports new tree plantings and
tree preservation. Establishment of
greenbelts must be coordination across
City departments and stakeholders.

5. Requirements for inclusion of
street trees in the design of new
developments are currently in place.
6 & 7. These implementation programs
support preservation of existing trees
and replacement of trees removed.

Any updates to the municipal code
regarding tree preservation and
replacement should be reflected here.

8. Consider incentive programs for
residents to encourage tree plantings.

5e. Encourage the use of trees in water-wise landscaping and establish a system for irrigating trees. 5f. Seek opportunities to implement General Plan Objective C.4.a by identifying roadways where trees can be implemented in landscape buffers between heavily traveled roads.
6c. Fill all readily available vacant planting sites (4,605 sites including vacant sites or stumps) by 2030. Prioritize filling vacant planting sites in areas lacking tree canopy based on Exhibit 14 of the UFMP. 7a.

Develop a heritage tree program to celebrate historic, large, interesting, or rare trees. Create an interactive map of heritage trees. Consider making this a standalone map that is added to the urban forestry website, and/or adding this to the existing “Historical Landmarks and Objects of Historical Merit” storymap. 8g.

Conduct field inspections of all vacant planting sites and “potential” planting sites identified in the tree inventory (4,605 vacant sites or stumps and 4,523 “potential” sites) to verify tree planting opportunities and identify site preparation needs (such as hardscape removal).

6a. Achieve a City-wide canopy cover of 20% by planting approximately 1,000 trees per year on public and private property over the next 40 years.
7c.

Consider working with local experts and organizations to create and maintain a city-managed grove for monarch wintering habitat. Consult with biologists/monarch experts on tree selection and habitat creation, such as the Xerces Society and utilize the latest science and research.

6. MONITORING PLAN

6.1 Vibrant Cities Lab Assessment
The City can use the Vibrant Cities Lab Community
Assessment and Goal-Setting Tool to monitor the success of implementation of the UFMP. The tool is used as an
assessment to define the City’s current state and what the City would like to achieve. The user decides what the City’s current state of the metric is and then sets the goal metric.

Each metric is assigned a point value and the City is assigned a “Total Current Score” and a “Gap Score,” which represents the difference between the current state and the desired goal. A city that has a gap score between 20 and 40 is not far from achieving the goals of its urban forest program.

Conversely, gap scores of 40 or more indicate that a City is still implementing programs and policies to close the gap and develop a sustainable urban forest.

Santa Maria’s first assessment was conducted on March 9, 2023, by the urban forest supervisor and the consultant team.

Table 17 reflects the results from the first assessment, which set the baseline for the City’s Total Current Score at its preUFMP metrics.

Based on the first assessment, the City has a current
rating of 21, with a gap score of 71. The Vibrant Cities Lab Community Assessment and Goal Setting Tool should be
retaken each year to track, measure, and highlight progress.

The assessment can also be used to demonstrate successes and justify additional funding asks to City Council. Since the City first took the assessment, several of the responses that had significant gaps have already been achieved.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Interim Recreation and Parks Director Angela Oslund SUBJECT: Santa Maria Citywide Parks Assessment 2024
Description:

The City Council will receive a presentation of the 2024 Santa Maria Citywide Parks Assessment to gain a better understanding of the current general condition of the park system along with its current and future needs.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Receive and file the 2024 Santa Maria Citywide Parks Assessment; and

2. Provide staff with direction on the consideration of possible funding alternatives for an all-City Park fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Recreation and Park system for the City of Santa Maria consists of 28 parks, a variety of multi-purpose trails, plazas, a riverbed, and a unique ranch property outside of the City limits containing a wide variety of plants, wildlife, and nature trails. In addition to the vast acreage of the park system, it contains play equipment, sports courts and fields, restroom facilities, and various buildings. Due to the ongoing need for maintenance and to meet the ongoing and upcoming recreational needs of the residents and guests of the City of Santa Maria, it is necessary to regularly perform an assessment of the park system to determine the short and long-term needs of the city including planning, budgeting, and ongoing operations. The 2024 Santa Maria Citywide Parks Assessment is the document intended to meet this need by examining the entire park system and assigning an objective rating system for overall condition.

DISCUSSION:

The 2024 Santa Maria Citywide Parks Assessment uses a standardized approach to provide detailed insight into the overall condition of the park system. This document will be vital in short and long-range planning to ensure that any current areas of deficiency are addressed on a short-term basis, while issues that are not immediately due for correction or upgrade can be studied, projected into future budgets, and implemented into medium and long-range planning cycles. The Assessment also provides a snapshot in 2 time so that as the City of Santa Maria grows in population, previous assessments can be used to measure progress and identify trends for future needs.

The 2024 Santa Maria Citywide Parks Assessment was first presented to the Recreation and Parks Commission on November 14, 2023. It was brought back to the Recreation and Parks Commission on February 13, 2024, where the commission approved the Assessment, and voted to refer the document to the City Council for further discussion.

Fiscal Considerations
There are a variety of recommendations contained within the document that estimate costs associated with the maintenance and improvements identified according to the timeframe recommended.

Impact to the Community
The Citywide Parks Assessment is expected to have a long-term benefit to the community by providing an in-depth and site-specific evaluation of the park system. Through an indepth assessment of these sites and amenities, the Recreation and Parks Department, Recreation and Parks Commission, and Santa Maria City Council will have the information necessary to set short and long-term goals in terms of budgeting, planning, and implementation of repairs, maintenance, upgrades, and potential expansion of our park system resulting in increased and improved recreational activities for residents and guests of the City of Santa Maria.

INTRODUCTION

AU T H OR I Z AT I O N AND S CO PE OF WO RK
The City of Santa Maria is a growing and thriving community with a large and varied number of parks. The Recreation and Parks Department of the City is responsible for the maintenance of these parks. It is a huge task, one which the City has insufficient funds to fully manage. The purpose of this report is to perform a condition assessment that will result in an economic assessment of existing and future planned City parks, open space, and other recreational facilities for the purpose of determining the underlying cost of operating, maintaining, renovating, constructing, and apportioning these costs, based on the benefit received by each accessor parcel within the City of Santa Maria.

To get a complete understanding of the condition of each park, the City hired DTA Municipal Solutions and Wallace Group (with assistance from Otto Electric and MSA Architects). The team visited each of the selected 28 parks and carefully reviewed all items within the entire envelope of each park excluding all community building evaluations that will be completed under a separate scope of work by others. Note, the smaller buildings that could be included in a Landscape and Lighting District ("LLD") Assessment, such as gazebos, restrooms, and maintenance facilities are included in this report.

Step one was to identify all City parks/facilities that exist and those that are in the planning phase over the next five years. A map of all City of Santa Maria parks/facilities is shown below. Twentyeight (28) parks were included in the assessment. They are:
 North Preisker Ranch Park  Preisker Park
 Robert F. Grogan Park  Jim May Park & Lake
 Oakley Park  Atkinson Park & Community Center
 Rice Park  Tunnell Park
 Edwards Community Center & Sierra
Vista Park
 Rosalind Perlman Park
 Armstrong Park  Russell Park
 Abel Maldonado Youth Center &
Simas Park
 Buena Vista Park
 Elwin Mussell Senior Center & Alice

 Robert Acquistapace Park  Enos House & Park
 Fletcher Park  Marilyn Stanley Park
 Rotary Centennial Park & Robin

 Rodenberger Park
 Maramonte Community Center & park  Maramonte Park North  Hagerman Sports Complex  Pioneer Park & Picnic Ground 1-2
1-3
The City excluded the following parks from the assessment:
 Santa Maria River Park Trail
 Joslyn Bowling Green
 Los Flores Ranch Park
 Veteran’s Memorial Park
Figures and summary spreadsheets were prepared for each park identifying the amenities and individual elements included in each park. A detailed condition assessment can be found in Appendix A.

The list of park elements is separated by discipline: civil, landscape, architectural, and electrical.

Each amenity was then evaluated in multiple categories based on its condition, expected remaining life, type of maintenance required, frequency of required maintenance, annual cost of maintenance, and capital improvement replacement cost.

Rating Scale
A rating scale was assigned to each category listed on the park spreadsheet. See Table 1-1 for a description of each score.

Table 1-1. Rating Score Criteria
Rating
Score Description
1 No repairs required
2 Repairs and/or replacement required within 15 years
3 Repairs and/or replacement required within 10 years
4 Repairs and/or replacement required within 5 years
5 Immediate repair or replacement required due to condition, lifespan, code non-compliance, and/or safety issues
Regular scheduled maintenance considered separately.
(See Chapter 4, Operations & Maintenance)
Definitions
Playground – The California Playground Safety Regulation defines a playground as an improved outdoor area designed, equipped, and set aside for children’s play that is not intended for use as an athletic playing field or athletic court, and shall include any playground equipment, fall zones, surface materials, access ramps, and all areas within and including the designated enclosure and barriers.

Playground Equipment – a fabricated structure intended primarily for play by children located at a playground which has at least one surface designated and intended for play by children and which is anchored to or built into the ground and not intended to be moved. 1-4
Assumptions
The following assumptions were made in the preparation of this Report:
 The assessment is based on a 20-year maintenance period.  Current day dollar values only have been assigned with an ENR index of 13007 (2022 Average).
 The annual cost of maintenance is based on existing City provided data, assessment of fiscal year reports, and interviews with City staff.
 Some Park elements may have shorter life expectancy than 20-year Maintenance Period and should be replaced per manufacturer recommendations.  Playground equipment is required by ASTM to be inspected by a Certified Playground Inspector every 5 years.
 Playground equipment is highly suggested by the National Recreation and Park Association to be replaced every 15-years or sooner if defective.  Cost Assumptions: Full-time equivalent is $216 per hour. Refer to Cost Estimate Tables for unit costs.
 Regularly scheduled maintenance values are evaluated separately (See Chapter 4, Operations & Maintenance) and not considered when assigning a rating to the condition of a park element.
 ADA – The reporting of conditions included in this assessment have been prepared primarily to ascertain costs for maintenance and/or replacement and general ADA compliance. The results from this report should not be considered a full assessment of existing ADA conditions.

General Observations
During site evaluations, certain conditions were found to be common throughout the parks and are listed below. These conditions will need to be addressed and become part of each park’s annual maintenance schedule.

Civil:
 ADA Compliance – This report does not provide a full assessment of ADA compliance.

Some features were identified as potentially having ADA compliance concerns and were noted as such. The City should retain an ADA specialist to determine ADA requirements for park facilities.
 Decomposed Granite Walks/Path – Most common issues found include uneven surface, low levels of decomposed granite, and runoff due to lack of edging. Maintenance or additional material should be added to maintain proper surfaces. 1-5
 Parking Lot – Worn asphalt and striping. Most require reconstruction.  Storm Drain – A majority of the storm drain systems were full of debris and trash. It is recommended to clean all drains prior to the rainy season and establish a regular maintenance schedule to keep drains clear.
 Concrete Damage – Interior pathways are damaged largely due to not being constructed to support maintenance vehicles.

Landscape:
 Playground Surfaces - EWF levels do not comply with ASTM Safety Standards, exposing the ADA concrete ramps. Immediate correction required. It is suggested the proper level be marked on playground equipment posts.
 Mulch - Bare soil should not be exposed in any planting areas. A 3” thick layer of mulch should be maintained in shrub plantings to help retain moisture, deter weeds, and reduce soil compaction. No mulch is required within groundcover plantings.  Irrigation Flow sensors – Flow sensors should be installed to alert maintenance when there is a leak and shut off the irrigation water.
 Irrigation Overspray– Many parks have overspray onto walkways causing damage to the paths and creating run-off issues and walking hazards. These should be fixed to reduce damage to other infrastructure.
 Irrigation System Upgrades – All planting areas, particularly those adjacent to walkways, should use drip irrigation to avoid overspray and reduce water consumption.

Architectural
 Structures – Separation should be maintained between wood and earth or concrete flatwork to prevent moisture intrusion or pest-related damage to framing and finishes.

Current building code calls for 8” clear earth to wood and 2” clear hardscape to wood if not pressure treated. For existing conditions, apply where feasible and plan for this detailing for future improvements.
 Restrooms – To increase durability and maintenance benefits, future park prefabricated restrooms should be concrete buildings instead of wood framed structures.

Electrical
 Lighting – Converting existing parking lot and sports courts to LED fixtures will provide energy savings.
 Equipment – A few parks have hazardous plant growth in and around electrical equipment.

This poses a risk to personnel and equipment. This plant growth should be removed. 1-6

CHAPTER 2

CONDITION ASSESSMENT BACKGROUND

I NT RO DU CT I ON
The City of Santa Maria contains a wide variety of public parks ranging from small pocket and neighborhood parks to large sport complexes and community centers. Each park is unique in size, character, and amenities it offers to the community. For the purposes of our report a detailed individualized assessment report has been created for each of the 28 parks included in this report. Each section includes a cover sheet with a brief description of the park’s amenities, a detailed map, Condition Assessment Summary, Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Table, Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Table, and Cost Estimate Table.

Each Park was visited and assessed by our Team which included representation from four disciplines: Civil, Landscaping, Architectural, and Electrical. The conditions of each park’s elements were observed and evaluated by these disciplines using the criteria shown in Appendix B; condition, expected remaining life, type of maintenance required, frequency of required maintenance, annual cost of maintenance, and capital improvement replacement cost.

The results of the field observations and subsequent assessments have been compiled, by discipline into the Condition Assessment Summary. Each element observed was assigned a rating from Table 1-1, with a rating of 1 meaning no repairs and 5 requiring immediate attention.

Capital Improvement Program 3-1
CHAPTER 3

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

I NT RO DU CT I ON
Chapter 2 provided a condition assessment for each park. Components of the parks were ranked 1 through 5 with 1 being in good condition and 5 needing immediate attention. Some items identified are operations and maintenance related and are further discussed in Chapter 4. Chapter 3 provides a summary of the recommended capital improvement projects sorted by their ranking.

Costs for upgrades required for all 4 and 5 CIPs are provided. Costs for 1, 2, and 3 rankings were not established as either these facilities do not need upgrades, or they are 10 years out and it is recommended that a target budget be provided in lieu of specific costs for each of the facilities. It is recommended that the City budget approximately $5.0 million per year, escalated for annual inflation, in addition to the funds required for Ranking 4 and 5 CIPs for future capital improvements. This budget will be a reserve account used to fund future capital improvement projects.

The overall construction costs provided include costs of individual items called out and a 30% cost increase for some additional bid items, including mobilization/demobilization, survey, SWPPP preparation, and other miscellaneous construction costs. When preparing an overall project budget, the City must include costs for other bid items, not already accounted for, required to complete a project including a project contingency. The percent increase to cover these costs will vary greatly depending on how the projects are packaged together in a bid set.

The City should assess if environmental permitting is required for a specific project. General maintenance or replacement of equipment will be exempt, but a complete park overhaul may trigger an environmental determination such as a mitigated negative declaration.

The soft costs identified for the cost of the improvements is a general percentage estimate of 40% of the construction costs. Depending on the project, this percentage may be +/- 40%. The soft costs include City administration time, engineering, survey, geotechnical investigations, minor permitting, construction management, and inspection. Again, this cost should be based on the overall construction project costs.

In addition to the 30% additional cost for additional construction bid items and the 40% cost for soft costs, the total cost for improvements shown in the tables below include a 25% contingency to account for any unknows and/or other costs that are not understood at this level of assessment.

Following the cost tables for all improvements rated as a 5 or a 4 shown below, there are capital improvement project tables for each park, organized by discipline. These tables explain the improvements to be addressed at each park based on their ratings and descriptions provided in the condition assessment in Chapter 2 above.

CHAPTER 4

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE

I NT RO DU CT I ON
This Chapter presents an analysis of the City’s Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program for the Recreation and Park Department (Department), including current and forecasted resource and staffing needs. Regular park maintenance helps to prevent materials and equipment replacement leading to longevity of the park assets. Professional maintenance practices are a key factor in the long-term success of department-wide goals. Park maintenance includes various elements of the recreation and park system including buildings, landscape, water management/irrigation, hardscape, playgrounds, urban forestry, sports fields, and various small repairs of the city-wide system.

It is often maintenance practices that define the quality of a park system. Maintenance not only determines the outward appearance and supports the daily use of parks, but also contributes to the longevity of facilities, the ability of plant materials to successfully mature, and consistent user experiences.

B ASI S OF OP ER AT I O NS AN D M AI N T E N ANC E AN AL YS I S The O&M program analysis is based on a thorough review of the fiscal year budgets developed by the Department, which outlines the activities required to operate and maintain the City’s recreation and park system to the City’s current O&M activities. Recommendations are provided based on whether current O&M activities are meeting the City’s goals and objectives or if additional staffing and/or resources are needed. In addition, there are several elements from the capital improvements list and other potential projects that the City is currently in the initial stages of implementation. For these projects, estimates of the staffing and resources required for startup as well as on-going annual efforts following start-up are provided.

Information was analyzed and compiled into the following groups:
 Current Staffing and Organizational Structure
 Current Equipment Requirements
 Current Utility Costs Summary
 Current Material Costs Summary
 Funding Benchmarks for Maintenance and Operations

A summary of the overall resources is provided at the end of the chapter. The costs and estimated hours associated with the recommendations herein were developed based on the City’s current fiscal budget (2023). The data in this Chapter is based on information received at the time of the report and includes figures and tables that should be re-examined based on staffing costs in the future. Note that the discussion and analysis of “Operations” within this chapter is related to the operations of the park facilities and not the programs offered by the City. The fiscal data discussed will focus on this component of the Recreation and Parks Department.

 Continue to manage the water quality and public safety of the City’s aquatic center and, through a joint-operations agreement, at local high school pools.

Parks and Urban Forest
The Parks and Urban Forest Division oversees the City’s Urban Forest. The City contains over 21,000 trees. The City of Santa Maria’s urban forest contributes to the community’s economic, environmental, and aesthetic vitality. It is valued and cared for by the City and its citizens and reflects the City’s horticultural heritage. Some of these are in parks and others line City streets.

City trees make the City’s urban neighborhoods more livable. Trees create a buffer from the oftenfrantic pace of urban life, they aid in cooling our homes, provide habitat for urban wildlife, help reduce the global green-house effect and absorb noise, pollutants, and unpleasant odors. City trees soften the impacts of concrete and asphalt with greenery. They can buffer noise, block winds, cool temperatures, absorb carbon dioxide, replenish oxygen, and filter air and water. An "urban forest" is not just trees, but a biological community closely connected to the human community's quality of life.

Below are the key objectives of the Parks and Urban Forest Division:
 Provide the community with clean, safe, and aesthetically pleasing parks and open spaces.
 Conduct an annual renovation program that ensures the safe condition of public athletic facilities.
 Work with the community to foster an interest in parks and urban environmental issues.  Provide the community with volunteer opportunities within the park system.  Obtain and maintain necessary and up-to-date equipment to provide services in the most economical method.
 Maintain the City’s Urban Forest in a safe, healthy, and aesthetically pleasing condition.  Facilitate teamwork among departments, to provide a high spirit of cooperation in interdepartmental projects dealing with the Parks and Urban Forest.

As with many smaller public agencies, City staff is often shared between departments (i.e., Public Works, Community Development, etc.). Table 4-1a through 1-4d provides a listing of the City Staff responsible for rec and parks O&M along with their approximate percentage of working hours currently dedicated to parks maintenance, management or operations tasks for the recreation and parks department per year. Additionally, the City hires temporary staff to assist in seasonal work such as vegetation clearing. These hours are not included in this analysis. The City’s organizational chart is provided in Figure 1-1.

The number of working hours for City ranges for employees based on the number of years the employee has worked for the City. Working hours does not include overtime or on-call time. A Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) is equal to 2,080 hours per year. The City’s benefits are as follows:
 Holiday: 10.5 paid holiday days = 84 hours
 Sick: 12 days = 96 hours
 Vacation: Ranges depending on years of service between 10 and 25 days = 80 to 200 hours. For the purposes of this report, an average of 120 hours for vacation will be used  Administrative Leave and/or Comp Time (in lieu of overtime): 150 hours Based on the benefits identified above, the total available working hours for City employees is 1,630 hours (2,080-84-96-120-150 = 1,630 hours). Therefore, a FTE for the purposes of this report is 1,630 working hours.

Another component of the operations and maintenance of the park system are the utilities (i.e., gas, water, electricity) that are required to maintain a healthy and vibrant system. As costs of utilities continue to rise, the challenge of balancing the funding for the utility costs is everincreasingly growing (assumed to be at a 5% rate increase annually).

BE NC HM ARK S F O R M AIN T E N ANC E AND O P E R AT I O N S The 2023 NRPA Agency Performance Review presents an excellent collection of park and recreation benchmarks to gauge the level of investment the City of Santa Maria is currently making in its park and recreation system vs other departments nationwide. While this is a helpful guide, it is not intended to be a set of national standards, but simply one way of evaluating available resources and financial performance. The NRPA data collects information from park and recreation agencies across the United States who contribute to their data via a national survey. The review presents data for typical, similarly sized organizations as Montebello using ranges from low to high and the median data available.

National Benchmarks
Figures 1 & 2 below represent National Park and Recreational benchmarks for annual operating expenditures and expenditures per capita:

Figure 1: Annual Operating Expenditures Figure 2: Operating Expenditures Per Capita

Assumptions were made based on current-day figures. The current population in 2020 of 111,900 and was used for this analysis along with the total park acres of 236 (Leisure Needs Assessment 2019). The City’s Fiscal Year (FYR) 2022/24 adopted budget for expenses was used.

There are two key indicators based on NRPA data to analyze the sufficiency of funding for maintenance are operating expenditures per acre of park land and operating expenditures per capita.

Annual Operating Expenditures
The City of Santa Maria allocates approximately $14,350,099 total a year on expenditures (FYR) for the Rec and Park Department. A typical system within the jurisdictional population of Santa Operations & Maintenance 4-14
Maria (between 100,000 to 250,000) may expend between $6,147,332 overall on the low end to $21,753,741 overall on the high end. Santa Maria’s operating expenditure per acre is above the median typical investment of $11,834,432 but below the upper quartile percentage of $21,753,741.

Operating Expenditures Per Acre of Park Land
The City of Santa Maria allocates approximately $61,325 per acre of park land to maintain and operate the parks in the City. A typical system within the jurisdictional population of Santa Maria (between 100,000 to 250,000) may expend between $26,270 per acre on the low end and $92,965 per acre on the high end. Santa Maria’s operating expenditure per acre is above the median typical investment of $50,575 per acre but below the upper quartile of $92,965.

Operating Expenditures per Capita
The City currently maintains 28 park areas greater than 0.5 acres. When looking at the overall Department budget and City population, this roughly translates into $129 per resident/capita.

Agencies similar to Santa Maria (between 100,000 to 250,000) operate with a budget per capita between – $47 to $156 with a median of $76. Santa Maria’s operating expenditure per capita is above the median typical investment per capita but below the upper quartile.

F U T U RE O P E RA T I O N S AN D M AI N T E N AN CE NE ED S The future operation and maintenance needs are based on NRPA benchmarks that help to establish a goal for the Department’s needs. This method is used within the industry to help benchmark fiscal needs, staffing needs, and various other needs based on national benchmarks.

Since the NRPA data includes overall department statistics, the gap amount established is proportionately shown based on the City of Santa Maria’s O&M budget compared to the overall Department budget (50%).

Table 4-7a below shows the gap between the overall Rec and Park department and O&M budget based on NRPA upper quartile benchmarks by taking the proportionate amount (50%):

The information provided in this chapter helps to illustrate where gaps in current funding are based on national benchmarks. The goal of the future operations and maintenance needs is to help establish a framework for where future fiscal funding should be allocated and how to structure other funding sources to cover the gap. Though this method is used frequently in park planning, other methods may be employed including regional benchmarking and specific O&M needs based on current asset conditions. Though these other methods may help to establish other benchmarks, the method used herein the chapter helps set a general percentage increase of O&M budget needs to get the park system to meet the upper quartile performance categories.

City Parks Stormwater Regulations 5-1

CHAPTER 5
City Parks Stormwater Regulations

I NT RO DU CT I ON
This technical memo is focused on providing an overview of current and foreseeable stormwater regulations that affect the City of Santa Maria Recreation & Parks Department (City or Parks Department).

The discussion will also contain Parks’ current stormwater practices to comply with the City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) requirements, its current Best Management Practices (BMPs), identification of regulations, evaluate the needs for additional studies to comply with regional board requirements, and identify possible upgrades to parks that could assist the City in meeting the regulations.

The current stormwater regulations that affect City parks are a portion of the State of California’s main stormwater regulations and are passed down from the Clean Water Act and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), which are overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The State of California, in compliance with these federal regulations, issues General Permits to agencies including municipalities. The stormwater General Permits that apply to the City are as follows:

1. Phase II Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) General Permit a. Trash Amendment
b. Post Construction Requirements (PCRs)

2. Construction General Permit (CGP)
PH AS E I I S M AL L M S 4 G E NE R AL P E RM I T
Stormwater discharges from MS4s are regulated through a statewide general permit (Phase II Small MS4 Permit Water Quality (WQ) Order 2013-0001-DWQ) pursuant to section 402(p) of the Federal Clean Water Act.

The Phase II Small MS4 General Permit outlines requirements for the following minimum stormwater pollution control measures: program management, public education and outreach, public participation and involvement, illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE), construction site stormwater control, pollution prevention and good housekeeping, postconstruction stormwater control, water quality monitoring, program effectiveness, and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) which cover the following specific topics:
 Municipal Stormwater Program Management
 Best Management Practices (BMPs) for MS4s.
 Ordinance Requirements for Erosion and Sedimentation Control & Stormwater Enforcement
o Erosion Control Plans
o Legal Authority to Enforce
 On-going Program Improvements:
o Municipal Stormwater Modeling- Estimating Pollutant Loading and Reductions City Parks Stormwater Regulations 5-2

o Program Effectiveness and Improvement Plan (PEAIP)
o MS4 Program Annual Reports
o Stormwater Collections Systems Maintenance
o Illicit Discharge Detection Elimination Plan and Implementation  Receiving Water Limitations
o TMDLs
o 303d List
o Monitoring & Sampling Requirements
 Post Construction Requirements (PCRs)

Prioritized Stormwater Basin Operations and Maintenance:

City Parks is responsible to conduct tasks and activities related to the City’s Municipal Stormwater Modeling- Estimating and Prioritizing Pollutant Loading and Reductions efforts & Program Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Plan (PEAIP) which are requirements of the MS4 General Permit and have been completed and now are in the implementation phase.

From the City’s Municipal Stormwater Modeling- Estimating and Prioritizing Pollutant Loading and Reductions
“It is important to note that all 29 centralized BMPs (basins) perform multiple functions beyond stormwater volume and water quality improvements. They also serve as recreational areas and sports fields. As such, they are regularly maintained by both the City’s Recreation and Parks and Utilities Departments.” Twenty BMPs were fully benchmarked and 9 BMPs were partially assessed during 2017 and 2018 field condition assessments. The draft LPR (pollution load estimation) model indicating pollutant loading and reductions from the 20 fully assessed BMP assessments was uploaded as Report #3 into the State’s Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS).

City Parks Stormwater Regulations 5-7

Table 5-1 shows the specific parks with stormwater basins that have been prioritized through the above-described stormwater modeling and city-wide pollutant load estimation process. Prioritization ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 being low priority.
