Moving Forward with the California Master Plan for Aging Santa Barbara Aging Report Exec Summary_V5.indd 1

+;
This is not a plan simply for today's older adults. Instead, it is a blueprint for aging across the lifespan. The Master Plan for Aging calls on all California communities to build a California for All Ages & Abilities: for older Californians currently living through the many different stages of the second half of life; for younger generations who can expect to live longer lives than their elders; for communities of all ages — family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and caregivers — surrounding older adults and people with disabilities. As Cal- ifornians, we can create communities where people of all ages and abilities are engaged, valued, and afforded equitable opportunities to thrive as we age, how and where we choose. — CA Master Plan for Aging

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The California Master Plan for Aging (MPA) is underway in Santa Barbara County. Since October 2021, service providers, stakeholders, and local leaders have joined together to forge priorities and recommendations aligned with the MPA vision of building an integrated system of accessible and affordable long-term care for an aging population.

The MPA offers a once -in -a -generation opportunity to address long-standing systemic challenges which have stymied service providers, funders, and policymakers for decades.

Addressing issues through a siloed system of care funded through short term budget and grant funding cycles is no longer sufficient to meet the growing needs of a burgeoning aging and more diverse population. By 2030, one in four Californians will be 60 or old- er, and Santa Barbara County is no exception. Long-term growth forecasts indicate that Santa Barbara County's elderly population will grow by over 118% percent by 2060.

The older adult population will be more diverse and an increasing number of older adults will identify as living with a disability.

The time has come to adopt a long-term strategy that will address the inter -related and often complex issues facing older adults, families, and communities.

By this report, the Santa Barbara CountyAdult & AgingNetwork (AAN) is calling upon community leaders, county and cityplanners, and human service and health care providers to take a fundamentally different and comprehensive approach through the California Master Plan for Aging.

The California Master Plan for Aging Opportunity
The Master Plan for Aging offers a paradigm shift away from fragmented programs that target a specific demographic or a specific need toward a more holistic approach that recognizes aging as a multi -faceted journey experienced by everyone. This new mindset places the needs of older adults and people with disabilities into every aspect of plan- ning and policy -making as a means of improving the quality of life for residents of all ages. It requires a shift from the past legacy of short term programs and opportunities to a more comprehensive and sustainable system of integrated services and supports. +;

The results will benefit not only the burgeoning aging
population, but will also alleviate pressure for younger generation family members and communities who are
working overtime to fill the gaps in care. Harnessing the MPA vision will support an age -and disability -friendly fu- ture for everyone in Santa Barbara County.

Santa Barbara County is well positioned to seize this op- portunity and leverage the state resources committed
to achieving these ambitious, but necessary, goals. The county has a strong network of providers in health and so- cial services, and government and public leaders are rec- ognizing the need for creating age -and -disability -friendly communities. There is also tremendous potential in the
thousands of members of the county's aging adult and dis- ability communities whose voices will undoubtedly pro-
vide direction and support for the process.

Local Implementation
In October 2021, AAN invited service providers,
stakeholders and local leaders to come together in a
countywide forum to launch local MPA planning and
prioritization. With broad community discussion
and input, two of the MPA's five bold goals were cho-
sen as first priorities for local MPA implementation:
1) Housing for All Stages & Ages; and
2) Caregiving That Works. A third goal, Health Reimag-
ined, was explored at the opening forum and has since
emerged as a third priority for implementation.

The launch was followed by research and the develop-
ment of preliminary recommendations on the priority
goals conducted by an AAN MPA Ad Hoc Advisory Com-
mittee (Committee) in cooperation with Caring Togeth-
er Santa Barbara County (CTSBC), a regional collabora-
tive network of health and human service providers.
2 Santa Barbara Aging Report Exec Summary_V5.indd 4-5
The Committee and CTSBC also gathered and reviewed
data to better understand the experience of aging in
Santa Barbara County today. Information was obtained
through surveys of local caregivers, a community care - giving solutions pilot, and data research from the 2020 United States census, the California Department of Fi-
nance, the California Master Plan for Aging, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, the Santa Barbara
County Association of Governments, and many other
sources. Additionally, interviews and listening sessions were conducted in late 2022 and in 2023 with mem-
bers of the Committee and with select service providers from the AAN.

A Snapshot of Aging in
Santa Barbara County
The data gathering and review process provided a snap-
shot of some of the pressure points in the current ex-
perience of aging in Santa Barbara County. These cen-
ter around challenges to affording aging and accessing
housing and levels of care appropriate to different stages in the aging journey. Older adults and people with dis- abilities are increasingly living without basic necessities required for healthy aging due to a lack of affordable in - home care and a shortage of home care providers, long
waiting lists for affordable housing and senior housing facilities, and increased rental evictions, often leading to homelessness. Behavioral health challenges and a lack of services for older and disabled adults with complex needs were repeatedly raised as concerns that require immedi- ate attention.

Behind this list of issues lie stories of countless individuals, families, and caregivers whose lives, safety, and well -be - ing are at stake. The data and anecdotal stories reveal that older adults are particularly vulnerable today. Recent hard-hitting challenges - the pandemic and natural disas- ters, the economy and inflation, the housing crisis and an historic caregiver shortage, the rise in cognitive disability and behavioral health issues, to name a few - have created a vortex of vulnerability and distress for older adults and people with disabilities.

Fortunately, the MPA provides a framework and state
support to help meet the challenge. Resources are al-
ready flowing into Santa Barbara County through several grants to strengthen home and community -based aging
related supports. These include a grant from the Califor- nia Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission to address the unmet behavioral and mental
health needs of seniors, funding from the Modernization of the Older Americans Act to support home and commu-
nity -based counseling and case management to seniors,
and grants from the California Department of Aging to
address isolation through digital connections and to
improve infrastructure and financial support for the
Senior Nutrition Program.

CenCal Health, Santa Barbara County's Medi-Cal pro-
vider, is participating in the California Advancing and In- novating Medi-Cal (CalAIM), a five year systems change
initiative to improve care and outcomes for Medi-Cal
enrollees, especially those with the most complex needs.

CalAIM seeks to reduce patient or short-term nursing
home stays through integrated models of "whole person"
care and coordinated health and social services.

The MPA vision to achieve a statewide network of Aging
and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) is taking root
in Santa Barbara County. A new ADRC formed jointly
with the Central Coast Commission for Senior Citizens
(the local Area Agency on Aging) and the Independent
Living Resource Center, is providing equitable access to 3 70/9/23 7:11 PM

ii■
long-term services and supports for older adults, people with disabilities, caregivers, veterans, and families, re- gardless of age and ability.

Preparing to leverage and coordinate future MPA re-
sources and initiatives will be an important next step in local MPA planning. It will require dedication from lead- ership across multiple sectors and engagement with lo-
cal residents from diverse communities throughout the
county. This work will be conducted with the support of a Local Aging & Disability Action Planning Grant pro-
vided by the California Department of Aging to facilitate the development of a comprehensive local MPA by March
2025. Another grant, awarded to CTSBC by the Califor-
nia Accountable Communities for Health Initiative (CA - CHI) and funded by the California Department of Public
Health, will support engagement and progress toward
one of the MPA goals, Caregiving that Works. With this
support, Santa Barbara County has the potential to build a model of age -and disability -friendly living that all its residents deserve.

Aging is changing and it's
changing California. Califor
nia's over -6o population is pro-
jected to diversify and grow
faster than any other age
group. By 2030, 10.8 million
Californians will be an older
adult, making up one -quarter
of the state's population.
—CA Master Plan for Aging

NEXT STEP RECOMMENDATIONS
Data Gathering & Community
Listening While the preliminary data review in
the first phase of MPA planning provides a snapshot of
the status of older adults and people with disabilities, it also points to knowledge gaps. Additional quantita-
tive and qualitative research and analysis is needed to better understand and interpret the complex array of
challenges relayed in interviews and discussions with
service providers across the spectrum of adult, aging,
and disability services and programs. Most important-
ly, older adults and people living with disabilities need to be given opportunities to speak about their direct
experiences and needs in a changed, post -pandemic
environment. Special attention must be paid to engag-
ing communities of color, minority groups, and those
who have been historically underrepresented and
marginalized.

Housing For All Stages & Ages
Older adults have complex and changing needs
throughout the stages of aging related to income, mo-
bility, increased disability, transportation, caregiving needs, and healthcare access. The age -related system
of care needs a continuum of integrated housing and
care options that align with the stages of aging, includ- ing affordable in -home supports to prevent premature
institutionalization or homelessness.
"Housing that works is
housing that takes into
account the needs of aging."
— Margot Kushel, MD,
Director Benioff Homelessness
& Housing Initiative
Santa Barbara County has exemplary models of af-
fordable integrated housing programs such as Garden
Court, the Golden Inn and Village, and the new Har-
ry's House to help inform a plan for expanded housing
options throughout the county. A local MPA must in-
clude strategies for expanding on some of the region's
successful housing resources to meet the growing
need for affordable housing with supports, and draw
upon model programs for meeting the rising need for
cognitive and memory care.

The next phase of MPA planning should include en-
gagement with developers, realtors, health care pro-
viders, and Housing Element planners to ensure in-
tegrated planning, policies, and budgeting through
the next steps of the Housing Element planning and
implementation process.

Caregiving That Works Santa Bar-
bara County has a caregiver shortage resulting in a
lack of access to vital caregiving support across all in- come levels. There are many contributing factors to
the caregiver shortage, including an undervalued and
underpaid caregiving workforce earning less than half
of California's median annual income and a service
delivery gap for middle income seniors who cannot
afford the high costs of care.

The shortage of affordable housing also impacts the
shortage in the caregiving workforce. Caregivers and
family members often cannot afford to live within com-
muting distance of those who need their care, whether
at home or in congregate settings. Even seniors who
are well resourced and prepared for aging's challenges
face obstacles to receiving care, including shortages in available private caregivers and a lack of access to as- sisted living and memory care when needed.

Addressing the caregiving shortage requires a multi -
pronged approach. A local MPA must integrate hous-
ing and caregiving needs and include strategies for
caregiver career path development and support for
family caregivers. Specific strategies must address
ways to increase support for unpaid family caregiv-
ers, ensure liveable wages and career path opportu-
nities for the caregiving workforce, connect families
and caregivers to respite and other resources in the
community, and address inequities in access to care
across income levels.
40% of the requests
for private pay caregiv-
ers are not fulfilled due
to staffing shortages,
scheduling, and lack of
affordability for private
pay care.
—CTSBC 2022 survey
6 Health Reimagined
The vast majority of adults want to "age in place" — in the comfort of their own home and connected to their
communities (AARP 2011). Under the current struc-
ture of care, In -Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is only available to those who qualify under Medi-Cal. The MPA
redefines traditional supports for older adult health and wellness which was previously focused on the healthcare and managed care systems of support. Health reimagined
is designed to ensure that older adults have affordable access to necessary services for living in a home setting of their choice through the different stages of aging.

The snapshot of aging provided in this report points to the need for a robust system of home and community -
based supports throughout the county. The next step in
MPA planning must include a mapping of existing home
and community -based services (HCBS) and gaps in ser-
vice delivery. Model HCBS programs and funding struc-
tures from other counties and jurisdictions should be re- viewed and considered for implementation with the goal
of designing a comprehensive system of health and social services that will meet the needs of Santa Barbara County residents and their caregivers.

The MPA Vision is "an age and ability friendly California in which the wish of the majority of older adults - to age safely and with dignity at home and as an integral part of their community - becomes an accessible and affordable
reality. — CA Master Plan for Aging

CONSIDERATIONS
The MPA challenges communities to embrace the goal of successful aging for all its residents. It lays the foun- dation for the role of civic leaders, government officials, agency directors, philanthropists, policymakers, and communities to help residents thrive in every life stage. The next phase of the MPA in Santa Barbara County will be to work together to decide the vision, strategies, and sustainability of a comprehensive local MPA with a timeline for implementation. AAN invites countywide participation and support to seize this unique opportunity and explore these core questions in the coming months:
• How can Santa Barbara County best prepare to
meet the needs of its rapidly aging population?
• What services and systems currently exist and
what more will be needed by 2030?
• Are there best practices and programs to adopt
and, if so, who will be responsible for adopting and
managing them?
• What county investments can be made to ensure
adequate access to housing and caregiving in the
short term for older and disabled adults?
• What kind of leadership and infrastructure is
needed to build a fully integrated and well -function-
ing system of care across sectors?
• What kind of resources are needed and what state
and federal resources and opportunities can be
leveraged?
8 • How can the county ensure equity in access and
affordability across all economic groups and commu-
nities and in all parts of the county?
• How can the county mitigate ageism and recognize
the great strengths and vibrancy that older adults and
people with disabilities bring to the community?
In other words, what would a successful local MPA
and its implementation look like in Santa Barbara
County?
Answering these questions will require bold commit-
ments of time and focus. It will involve new ways of
working together in multi -disciplinary partnerships
and across government departments and community
sectors. AAN looks forward to partnering with a wide
range of stakeholders, leaders, and community mem-
bers to create an age -friendly county that secures
dignity, support, and a thriving personal and commu-
nity life for all residents.

More attention must be brought to the reality
that our population is rapidly aging, that there
will soon be as many people over 60 as under
19, and that groundbreaking solutions are need-
ed to ensure that older Californians and persons
with disabilities can remain in their communities
and thrive.

FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 16, 2024

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Interim Recreation and Parks Director Angela Oslund Prepared by: Interim Parks and Operations Manager Scott Christian SUBJECT: Update on City Hall Landscape Project
The City Council will receive a presentation regarding project updates to the City Hall Landscape.

BACKGROUND:

In the Spring of 2022, the State of California mandated additional water conservation efforts. The Recreation and Parks Department developed a plan to reduce water usage by replacing non -recreational turf with lower water -use planting. The Department allocated a modest budget for this initiative and selected Pleinaire Design Group to design the space. The Urban Forester reviewed all trees to advise on their health and longevity, and this crucial information was incorporated into the design process.

City Staff, the Recreation and Parks Commission, and the Tree Committee were introduced to the concept. The Tree Committee reviewed the plans, walked the site, and provided valuable feedback, which contributed to the final design. Throughout the design process, the Recreation and Parks Department ensured that all Departments were kept informed of the project's concept and direction.

DISCUSSION:

The design directives for this project are to reduce the landscape's water use, create an educational tool for residents to learn about landscape water conservation, emphasize and highlight the historic Mission Revival architecture of City Hall, beautify the area, and create spaces for community events and gatherings.

The majority of the work has been completed by Recreation and Parks staff, with assistance from several local contractors. The largest portion of the project along Broadway is being finalized at this time, with the remainder planned for completion in the Summer and Fall.

SUBJECT:

City Council
Interim City Manager Alex Posada
Interim Chief Human Resources Officer Dawn Jackson
Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the Revision of the Paying and Reporting Value of Employer Paid Member Contributions to the California Public Employees' Retirement System for the Public Safety Managers
Description:

The City Council will consider authorizing and approving a revised Resolution for the Public Safety Managers to update the paying and reporting value of Employer Paid Member Contributions to the California Public Employees' Retirement System.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing and approving the revised wage and benefits package for the Public Safety Managers regarding Employer Paid Member Contributions to the California Public Employees' Retirement System.

BACKGROUND:

City staff met with legal counsel to discuss a revision of the paying and reporting value of the Employer Paid Member Contribution to the California Public Employees' Retirement System for the Public Safety Managers that fall only under Fire Tier II. The current language, from Resolution 2022-24B, requires Tier II unit members for Fire to pay 24 percent toward member contributions, in comparison to Fire Tier I members paying 11 percent, and Tier II members for Police paying a total of 18 percent. Clarifying language is added to this Resolution to achieve equitable contributions among the tiers and Public Safety organizations
DISCUSSION:

A recommendation to adopt the revised Resolution for the Public Safety Managers addressing the Employer Paid Member Contribution for only Fire Tier I I . This amendment to the Public Safety Managers Resolution 2024-48 brought forward to the City Council and adopted on April 2, 2024, reflects a change to the employee contribution language for Fire Tier II only, stating the following: "The City shall contribute 9% statutory member contribution as EPMC and shall report the EPMC as special compensation to the extent permitted by Ca/PERS and applicable law. Tier 11 employees shall contribute 15% in the

form of cost -sharing of the City's required contribution to Ca1PERS under Government Code section 20516(a)." This amendment results in a more equitable percentage difference between the Fire Tier I members and Fire Tier II members.

Alternative(s)
A decision by the City Council not to authorize and approve the revised Resolution for the Public Safety Managers will result in a continuation of Fire only Tier II paying 24 percent towards the California Public Employees' Retirement System.

Fiscal Considerations
As this change currently affects one member the result is a nominal fiscal impact.

However, the fiscal impact will be greater if more employees within this tier are hired in the future.

Impact to the Community
It is expected to have a positive impact on the continued longevity of current and future members that would be impacted by this section of the Resolution. 2 RESOLUTION NO.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MARIA,

CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING THE REVISED WAGE AND

BENEFITS PACKAGE FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY MANAGERS REGARDING

EMPLOYER PAID MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Santa Maria has the authority to implement Government Code section 20636(c)(4) pursuant to Section 20691; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Santa Maria has a written labor agreement which specifically provides for the normal member contributions to be paid by the employer, and reported as additional compensation; and WHEREAS, one of the steps in the procedures to implement Section 20691 is the adoption by the City Council of the City of Santa Maria of a Resolution to commence paying and reporting the value of said Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC); and WHEREAS, on January 6, 2009, the City Council passed Resolution 2009-07 thereby implementing Section 20691 and now the City Council of the City of Santa Maria has identified the following conditions for the purpose of its election to pay EPMC; NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HERBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa Maria, California, as follows:

1. On May 11, 2011, the City Council passed Resolution 2011-54, establishing that for all Public Safety Managers hired prior to July 1, 2011, this benefit shall consist of paying nine percent (9%) of the normal contributions as EPMC, and reporting the same percent (value) of compensation earnable (excluding Government Code section 20636(c)(4)) as additional compensation; and

2. Effective July 16, 2024, the City Council establishes that for all Public Safety Managers hired on or after July 1, 2011, this benefit shall consist of paying nine percent (9%) of the normal contributions as EPMC, and reporting the same percent (value) of compensation earnable (excluding Government Code section 20636(c)(4)) as additional compensation; and

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Requesting to Cancel the August 6, 2024, City Council Meeting
Description:

The City Council will consider canceling the regular City Council meeting scheduled on August 6, 2024, due to a lack of agenda items.

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:

Adopt a Resolution canceling the regular City Council meeting on August 6, 2024.

BACKGROUND:

Section 2-1.01 of the Santa Maria Municipal Code sets the time, day, and place for holding City Council meetings to discuss items of City business. The City Council has the authority to cancel meetings due to lack of quorum or lack of business items.

DISCUSSION:

While many cities go "dark" for a meeting or two during the summer months or holiday season, the Santa Maria City Council has always met on the first and third Tuesday of each month with no pre -determined scheduled breaks.

Due to a lack of agenda items scheduled for August 6, 2024, City Council Meeting staff recommends that the City Council cancel the first meeting in August, and address items that arise between now and then at the August 20, 2024, City Council meeting.

Alternative(s)
The City Council can decide not to cancel the August 6, 2024, meeting and meet as regularly scheduled.

Fiscal Considerations
There is no foreseeable fiscal impact as a result of this agenda item.

Impact to the Community
While the public will not have the ability to bring concerns to the City Council on August 6, 2024, due to the cancellation of the meeting, Councilmembers and staff remain available by email or telephone to address residents' concerns during the regular business days prior to August 6, 2024. And thereafter.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Interim Director of Finance Xenia Bradford
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Establishing the City of Santa Maria's Fiscal Year 2024-25 Appropriation Limit
Description:

The City Council will consider establishing the City of Santa Maria's Fiscal Year 2024-25 appropriation limit.

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.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Adopt a Resolution establishing the City of Santa Maria's Fiscal Year 2024-25 appropriation limit.

BACKGROUND:

Article XIIIB of the State Constitution requires State and local governments to annually calculate and adopt an appropriation limit. Under the provisions of this article, a city may not appropriate "proceeds of taxes" in excess of its appropriation limit. Each year, municipalities compare the amount of revenues generated from tax proceeds with the previous year's appropriation limit, as modified by the State Department of Finance figures.

The appropriation limit calculation was first applied in Fiscal Year (FY) 1978-79, as a result of Proposition 4. The Proposition was described as an appropriation limit but, in essence, is a tax revenue limit. Municipal agencies were required to classify revenues as either "proceeds from taxes" or "non -tax proceeds." The total amount of "non -tax proceeds" was deducted from total appropriations and the difference became the municipalities' beginning appropriation limit.

DISCUSSION:

Each year, the municipalities' previous year's appropriation limit is modified by the current per capita personal income change or the change in the local non-residential construction

assessment roll and the population change of either cities or counties, as provided by the State Department of Finance.

The City of Santa Maria's FY 2024-25 appropriation limit was calculated by using the previous year's appropriation limit ($259,301,952), multiplied by the change in the local non-residential construction percentage and multiplied again by the County's population percentage change resulting in the 2024-25 appropriation limit of $270,944,610. The City's tax base revenue is calculated at $95,682,036, which is $175,262,574 less than the legal appropriation limit.

State law (Government Code §7910) requires that the City Council annually establish an appropriation limit, after the documentation used in determining the limit has been made available to the public for 15 days. The documentation consists of the allocation of City revenues between the "proceeds from taxes" or "non -tax proceeds" and the calculation shown in Exhibit A of the Resolution. This calculation has been available for public review on the City's website and in the office of the Director of Finance since June 17, 2024.

Alternative(s)
The law stipulates that each year, by Resolution of the City Council at a regularly scheduled meeting or noticed special meeting, establish its Appropriations Limit, and make other necessary determinations pursuant to Article XIIIB.

The documentation used in the determination of the appropriations limit for the City of Santa Maria for FY 2024-25 is based on the change in local non-residential construction as the income change factor and the annual population change for the County of Santa Barbara as the population change factor. The City reserves the right to adjust or amend the appropriations limit based upon the use of alternative growth factors as authorized by Proposition 111 if such changes or revisions would result in a more advantageous appropriations limit, now or in the future.

Fiscal Considerations
If the City ends a fiscal year with tax -based revenue in excess of the appropriation limit, the City is required to return the excess tax -based revenue to the taxpayers within two years. The excess tax -based revenue is returned by reducing taxes or fees. During the two-year period, the City is entitled to seek voter approval to retain the excess tax revenues.

Impact to the Community
The documentation allocating revenues between "proceeds from taxes" and "non -tax proceeds," have been on file in the Department of Finance and the City Clerk's Office since June 17, 2024. The modification of the prior year's appropriation limit by the change in the assessment roll and population change are shown on Exhibit A of the Resolution. 2 RESOLUTION NO.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Interim Director of Finance Xenia Bradford
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Professional Services Agreement for Continued Value Services with Collaborative Solutions LLC
Description:

The City Council will consider approving an agreement for Professional Continued Value Services with Collaborative Solutions LLC.

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:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing a ten-year Agreement with Collaborative Solutions, LLC, a Limited Liability Company, an affiliate of Cognizant Worldwide Limited, for Continued Value Services.

BACKGROUND:

The City is currently in the process of an Enterprise Resource Planning System implementation. The project was approved by the City Council on March 19, 2024, and is estimated to be completed by January 2026. The Enterprise Resource Planning System is primarily based on Workday software as a service implementation, which includes core financials, payroll, and human capital management.

DISCUSSION:

Collaborative Solutions LLC is contracted by the City to lead the implementation of the Enterprise Resource Planning System. Collaborative Solutions LLC offers ongoing support post -implementation, known as Continued Value Services. Collaborative Solutions LLC has presented the Continued Value Services contract for a period of ten years at agreed upon rates. The services are offered on a pay-as-you-go basis at guaranteed rates per the contract. Services will not be triggered until the post - implementation time frame and only upon demand by the City. Staff recommends entering into the contract to lock -in favorable rates for the ten-year post -implementation period to ensure appropriate technical support.

Alternative(s)
The City Council could deny approval of the contract. If the contract is denied, the City will rely on internal staff technical expertise to support the Enterprise Resource Planning system post -implementation. This is not recommended by staff as the proposed Continued Value Services will only be utilized on an as needed basis when the expert knowledge is needed.

Fiscal Considerations
There is no immediate budgetary impact from approval of this contract. Budgetary allocations will be presented for Council approval through the budget process. No expenditures will be incurred through this contract until the post -project -implementation time frame.

Impact to the Community
The contract will support information technology capabilities for financial and human resources processes necessary for efficient service delivery to the community.

Client will provide applicable SMEs in Client's business processes, functional leads, and technical lead resources with whom to collaborate during the engagement. c. Client will have the necessary project and executive management support to review and make timely decisions as well as coordinate the activities of this project with other Client projects which may be occurring simultaneously.
d. Services will be provided during the normal business hours agreed upon between Client and the CSLLC EM (Y1 — Y4) or the CSLLC PA (Y5 — Y10) and will be as closely aligned to Client's time zone as possible. Off -hours support can be provided and pre -scheduled in advance.

Further, Daytona IP addresses must be added to the tenant whitelist. Daytona uses its own implementer account that must be excluded from multi -factor authentication.

If needed, CSLLC can provide Client access to its SharePoint site to maintain non -sensitive project artifact data for project or engagement support activities only. The CSLLC EM (Y1 — Y4) or the CSLLC PA (Y5 — Y10) will provide access to assigned project team members employed by CSLLC.
h. If a data migration requires iLoad support by CSLLC, Client agrees that a tenant lockout will be performed.
i. Client will provide CSLLC consultants with implementer access in Production, Sandbox, and Implementation tenants in a timely manner. Any Client delays will impact issue resolution times as identified in Section 2.2.

Client will be responsible for testing and any Move -to -Production activities, which shall include configuration, business processes, data, reports and integrations. Client will provide written acceptance of test results to CSLLC prior to any Move -to -Production. k. In the event CSLLC is required to assist Client with Move -to -Production activities, Client will provide written approval if CSLLC's assistance is required during Client's Move -to -Production activities. Upon completion of Move -to -Production activities, Client will verify Production results and shall be solely responsible for Production accuracy. Client shall provide written acceptance to CSLLC after such Move -to -Production activities have been completed. g.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Director of Public Works Brett Fulgoni
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution to Award a Professional Services Agreement for Active Transportation Plan Project Approval and Environmental Document
Description:

The City Council will consider approving the award of Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Professional Services contract to Nichols Consulting Engineers, Chtd. The City has Active Transportation Program Grant funded project that requires technical assistance from a consultant that is able to prepare environmental documents and preliminary plans for approval by Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission.

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:

Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement in the not -to -exceed amount of $489,270 to Nichols Consulting Engineers, Chtd. for Project Development Professional Services for Project Approval and Environmental Document preparation associated with the Active Santa Maria Safe Routes to School project.

BACKGROUND:

The City prepared an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) Grant Application to construct bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. The scope of the project was consistent with the City's adopted Active Transportation Plan. The anticipated total project cost (including all phases) is $8,131,000. The City was awarded the ATP grant funds for a total of $7,721,000 with $150,000 identified for the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase of the project. The City's local share of the project costs is $410,000. While the City employs transportation professionals on staff, the ability to prepare environmental studies and the required project approval documents needed to construct the project are beyond the normal workload of City staff, therefore necessitating the hiring of outside consultants for these services.

DISCUSSION:

On January 15th, 2024, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and advertised through the City's bidding platform. In addition, notification emails were sent to firms who expressed interest in providing Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Professional Services to the City.

Review of the received proposal was made in accordance with the City's Purchasing Guidelines. One proposal was received on April 4th, 2024. Engineering Division staff evaluated the proposal and found it to be responsive to the needs of the City and the ATP Grant funding. The proposed Professional Services Agreement would be managed by the Engineering Division.

Alternative(s)
City Council could decide to not award this Professional Services Agreement and direct staff to issue another RFP for these services, or not perform this work altogether.

However, these alternatives are not recommended. Reissuing the RFP will delay the project for several months and not performing this work will forfeit grant funds that further Council's adopted Active Transportation Plan and Local Road Safety Plan. Failure to perform the work will also impact the ability of the City to receive future ATP Grant funds.

Fiscal Considerations
Fees for consultant services will be based on the consultant's proposal attached to the proposed contract, for a not -to -exceed amount of $489,270. The ATP Grant will fund activities up to $150,000, consistent with the ATP Grant application. The remainder $339,270 is to be funded by Gas Tax and Measure A funding that is required to be used on Bicycle and Pedestrian projects.

Impact to the Community
Safety for all road users in Santa Maria is a priority. The purpose of this effort is to prepare project documents to construct safe pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure that is low - stress. The project improvements were identified by the community during the public engagement process that prepared the adopted Active Transportation Plan.

Other Agency Review
Following completion of the work to be performed by Nichols Consulting Engineers, Chtd. (NCE), the California Transportation Commission will review and approve prior to proceeding to the next phase of the project development (preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimate, and Right -of -Way Certification).

EXHIBIT "A"
E. Scope of Work
Project Understanding
The City has secured ATP -grant (State -only) funding including a local match totaling $8.131 Million ($0.5 Million for PA&ED, $0.5 Million for PS&E, $0.6 Million for ROW, and $6.531 Million for Construction) for the Active Santa Maria Safe Routes to School Project. We understand that the primary purpose of this project development professional services RFP is to deliver the Project Approval & Environmental Document (PA&ED) for the proposed project along the following corridors:
• Fesler Street from Blosser Road to Bradley Road (-2 miles), • S. Bradely Street from Main Street to Stowell Road (-1 mile) and from Fesler Street to Chapel Street (-0.1 miles) and • E. Jones Street from College Drive to Suey Road ("'0.9 miles) The City's project aims to enhance safety, connectivity, and mobility for active transportation users by providing new or upgraded facilities such as bike lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks, curb ramps, traffic beacons, shared use path, signage, and striping. The improvements will also directly benefit five local Santa Maria elementary and middle schools and Allan Hancock College. Based on our understanding, this project is not Federalized, therefore NEPA requirements in the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) do not apply. The City is the Lead Agency under CEQA, and Caltrans is a responsible agency. The proposed alignments primarily include City right-of-way (ROW) within an urbanized area, with only two areas identified in the ATP Application requiring ROW acquisition and no utility relocation. From an environmental screening perspective, the majority of the on -street bicycle and pedestrian improvements appear to categorically exempt from the perspective of CEQA.

However, based upon cursory review of the concept design layout provided, the City may need to obtain ROW primarily for the Jones Street shared use path extension from College Drive to Suey Road. This would be an extension of the shared use path first developed around 2011 behind the Santa Maria Transit Center and around 2016 behind the Santa Maria Terrace apartments. It appears based on historical imagery the tract of land needed for the new trail was likely a historical segment of the Santa Maria Valley Railroad. If the City does not currently own the land or possess a trail easement, the project will need to study existing ownership and ROW acquisition needs. Being a possible former railroad alignment, the project would also need to determine what historical railroad activities may have occurred, and if not previously tested for potential environmental hazards, include soil testing to help characterize potential environmental concerns or remediation actions prior to conversion to a shared use path.

Having previously completed the engineering design plans and CEQA Mitigated Negative Declaration for a 2 -mile rails -to -trails shared use path, NCE is familiar with the intricacies of developing trail improvements over former railroad corridors.

The project would also need to confirm any maintenance or access agreements between the City and Caltrans for the Highway 101 freeway overpass and freeway -adjacent drainage facilities at Jones Street. The project will need to characterize the nature of the drainage facilities and if they are eligible as blue -line stream or wetland, and what if any project impacts may be anticipated. The drainage facility near Jones Street appears to be fed by surface runoff from Jones Street, highway ROW, adjacent residential development, and California Giant Berry Farms.

It's unclear if the City owns the land or possesses an easement for the proposed sidewalk widening along Mary Drive adjacent to Fairlawn Elementary school, which will be considered in NCE's preliminary data review. NCE will also confirm the City's plans for possible temporary construction encroachments where the on -street improvements cross or about potential Caltrans ROW such as the SR -135 (Broadway) at Fesler Street.

As part of this project, the NCE team will meet with the City to better understand on -site existing conditions and anticipated ROW needs, and then refine the concept documents into preliminary engineering plans and engineer's estimate of probable construction cost. This preliminary engineering effort will permit the City to validate the suitability of secured ATP grant funding and to determine the appropriate Environmental Document to complete the CEQA process and ultimately assist the City in securing project approval from Caltrans to proceed with the PS&E phase. If during development of the preliminary engineering plans there is sufficient refinement of the concept plans to warrant additional public outreach, NCE is prepared to assist the City with a supplemental public outreach program including preparation of posters, exhibits, and renderings for public comment.

NCE's interdisciplinary team is capable of assisting the City better define the project constrains and parameters and is fully Atty. Rev. 2021

equipped to provide necessary traffic planning and traffic engineering to review operational and safety performance of the concept plans, as well as assist developing more detailed preliminary basemaps via collection of surveyed aerial ortho-imagery and reviewing parcel maps or conducting title research or boundary surveys if needed.

Task 1- Project Management and Meetings
NCE's Project Manager, Jim Bui, will serve as the City's single point of contact and will have primary responsibility for coordinating the efforts of the project team. Specific project management tasks to be conducted by NCE's Project Manager include monthly budgeting, invoicing, scheduling, and general project administration. NCE's Project Manager will arrange a kick-off meeting with the City to initiate the work. The objectives of the kick-off meeting will be:
• Review of the scope of work.
• Establish paths of communication.
• Review project schedule and critical milestones including Caltrans and CTC Allocation deadlines. • Review project requirements, including design objectives, budget, constraints, and criteria. The City's requirements will be further defined during the meeting.
• Review and discussion of the pertinent City standards, provisions, permits, and practices. • Review City Standard Design Criteria and latest City -adopted formats. • Request existing City design files, basemap data, ROW information, and environmental background data.

At the kick-off meeting, key deliverables for each Task and the Project Schedule will be reviewed and adjusted accordingly to meet City needs. The following meetings with City staff are included in the scope: one in -person kick-off/preliminary meeting (2 hours), one (2 hours) site walk and environmental scope refinement meeting, and up to 12 monthly progress meetings. The purpose of these meetings will be to identify and resolve design issues that may surface, present design alternatives and recommendations, and continue coordination with project stakeholders, as necessary. The environmental task lead will participate in virtual meetings as appropriate. This task also includes time for coordination with the design team.

Based on our understanding of the scope of work, a formal scoping meeting with Caltrans Environmental Branch is not a requirement of CEQA for an exempt project or an initial study. Only an EIR or EIS requires public scoping. However, there might be reasons from a design, ATP Program, or local perspective to hold an additional meeting with stakeholders and the grant funding agency such as Caltrans Local Assistance Engineering. We anticipate participation at up to 6 (1 -hour) City -hosted virtual meetings with Caltrans Local Assistance.

NCE's preparation or participation with additional meetings beyond those listed are available on a time and materials basis.

Deliverables:
• One (1) Kick -Off meeting agendas and minutes.
• One (1) site walk and scoping meeting and minutes.
• Up to twelve (12) Monthly Progress meeting agendas and minutes. • Participation at up to six (6) city -lead virtual meetings with Caltrans Local Assistance or other key stakeholders. • Revised schedule of work after finalizing our scope with the City and period schedule updates as required.

Task 2 - Project Description
In order to better determine the required Environmental Document and key components of the preliminary engineering design, NCE will define a complete and detailed project description and delineate project study areas that will meet the needs of technical analyses. This will include the CEQA project objectives, and if needed for the grant, the purpose, need, and goals, and the project location and boundaries defined as the area of potential effect (APE) that will be used for site surveys and technical studies.

NCE will work with the City to develop a list of key stakeholders, including local communities, governmental agencies, and others.

The Final CEQA project description will be prepared after completion of the technical studies and final 30% preliminary engineering plans.

Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Project Description; Area of Potential Effects Figure. • Draft list of key stakeholders.

Atty. Rev. 2021

Task 3 - Data Collection & Field Reviews
As part of this task, the NCE team will collect relevant roadway and site information to develop the preliminary engineering design and CEQA document, which is anticipated to be categorically exempt (CatEx).

3.a Basemap Preparation:

NCE will request relevant mapping information available from the City including existing street as-builts, parcel data, record right of way information, landscaping, and irrigation as-builts, utility information, and traffic signal information. This request will also include topographic basemap data including existing monumentation, right-of-way information, and existing surface easements or maintenance agreements with Caltrans, adjoining property owners, and businesses.

As part of this task, NCE's project Land Surveyor, WW Surveying, will set temporary control points and collect up to 4 linear miles of color, aerial ortho-imagery of the project corridors sufficient for use as a preliminary engineering basemap and assist with preparation of environmental document figures or public outreach exhibits. The mapping efforts will generally extend laterally 25' behind the back of walk or edge of shared used path and longitudinally 100' beyond the start/end limits. The imagery will be tied horizontally to NAD 1983 or other City -approved horizontal datum so that it may be used in subsequent PS&E and ROW Phases and may help the City coordinate between the other separate engineering design improvements identified in the concept design plans.

As an optional task, WW Surveying may conduct additional topographic surveying, basemap planimetric preparation, preparation of a 3D model, conduct boundary surveys, or conduct title research for ambiguous ROW or anticipated ROW conflicts.

Deliverables:
• Aerial Orthoimagery and Base Map suitable for development of preliminary engineering design plans at a 1" = 40' scale, or similar on 22" x 34" sheets.

3.b Traffic Data Review:

NCE's project Traffic Engineer, Fehr and Peers, will use the City of Santa Maria guidelines and thresholds as stated in their General Plan and other approved documents to review for potential conflicts with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy. Where the City's concept plans conflict with other approved documents, Fehr and Peers will note the potential conflict for the City's clarification. If traffic engineering support is required for alternatives analysis, this will be provided under Task 4 Engineering Analysis.

Per City of Santa Maria General Plan, the LOS operating criteria for all arterials and collectors, including signalized intersections, is LOS D. There is only one project segment that is proposed to reduce the number of vehicle travel lanes (Fesler Street between N Depot Street and N McClelland Street). This segment will be reviewed for adherence to the City's LOS D criteria. All other segments are assumed to operate similar to existing conditions. Fehr & Peers proposes the following three intersections to be analyzed in Synchro per Highway Capacity Manual, 6th Edition Guidelines: 1. W Fester Street and N Currver Street; 2. W Fester Street and N Pine Street; 3. W Fesler Street and N Broadway.

As part of this task, Fehr & Peers will collect intersection turning movement counts at the three proposed study intersections for the AM and PM four-hour peak periods. The operations of the study intersections will be evaluated for the following scenarios:

Scenario 1: Existing Conditions - Existing roadway geometry and volumes obtained from counts.

Scenario 2: Build Alternative Conditions - Build Alternative geometry with Existing Conditions volumes.

Vehicle Miles Traveled Assessment:

The Ca/trans Transportation Ana/ysis under CEQA (TAC, September 2020) and Ca/trans Transportation Ana/ysis Framework (TAF, September 2020) were developed in response to Senate Bill (SB) 743 that changes the focus of transportation impact analysis in CEQA from level of service (LOS) to vehicle miles of travel (VMT). The Project is anticipated to be exempt from VMT evaluation since it is a multimodal Project that is not proposing to increase capacity. Fehr & Peers will document that the Project meets the criteria to be screened out of the VMT assessment.

3.c Environmental Database Searches:

Due to the limited nature of proposed pedestrian and bicycle improvements, NCE recommends only conducting baseline database searches for scenic, biological/aquatic, cultural/tribal, and hazards. This is a desktop exercise that can be accomplished quickly based on the Project boundary provided by the City, in coordination with the design team. Based on Atty. Rev. 2021

Cultural Resources: NCE has learned from delivering other similar projects that a streamlined approach to Cultural Resource records searches saves both time and money. Therefore, NCE recommends no cultural review for sites with no potential for new disturbance outside the existing pavement. For sites with potential for new disturbance (grading or staging outside existing pavement, excavation into sub -grade), NCE would request a records search that applies only a small buffer (50 meters) to these areas and request database printout and GIS.

3.d Baseline Field Assessments:

Following the database searches and review of work activities in Step 1, if resources are flagged for a particular segment that involves work outside the existing pavement, NCE will perform baseline field assessments to confirm resources flagged, and to identify current conditions at and adjacent to the proposed work sites. This will be a rapid "windshield" type field assessment.

Photos will be captured, and sensitive resources documented, should they be present.

Cultural Resources: For areas with new disturbance, NCE will visit those locations only if they have never been surveyed or if a cultural resource is identified in the records search as present.

Biological Resources: For areas with new disturbance, NCE will visit those locations only if they have vegetation or the database research identifies potential culverts/wetlands that may be disturbed.

3.e Resource Check In:

NCE will facilitate a check -in call and summary of environmental investigations to date with City staff. If no resources are identified from the database searches or from the baseline field assessments, NCE will move to CEQA CatEx preparation (Task 7).

If resources are flagged by the database searches and/or field assessments, NCE will implement Technical Studies (Task 6) as warranted.

Task 4 - Engineering Analysis
As part of this task, the NCE team will carry out engineering analysis to develop a 30% or Concept plan for the development of the CEQA document. As part of this task, NCE team will also carry out the following:

4.a / 4.b Concept Plan:

NCE will prepare a basic preliminary design plan set at a 1" = 40' scale on 22" x 34" sheets, or as appropriate. Preliminary design plan set will include up to 1 Cover Page and 6 Plan Sheets with double stacked plan viewports (no profiles). The plans will indicate the approximate limits and quantities of anticipated major work items such as roadway maintenance or paving, sidewalk improvements, on -street bicycle facilities, revised striping and signage, ADA curb ramps, traffic beacons, and shared use path. The preliminary design plans will attempt to highlight important conflicts or constraints, but engineering solutions and details may not be fleshed out at this stage.

A preliminary cost estimate will be prepared for the major work items identified. The major work items will also influence and be used to guide subsequent Public Outreach, Right of Way Clearance, and CEQA clearance tasks.

At this stage of the project, the City is able to confirm or modify project design parameters, confirm grant funding requirements and identify possible funding shortfalls or schedule risks.

NCE assumes preparation up to one (1) draft 30% preliminary design plan set and engineer's estimate of probable construction cost for City review and one (1) final 30% preliminary design plans for use in subsequent tasks.

Non-standard Geometric Design:

Fehr & Peers will conduct a review of the proposed design to meet current standards and identify potential major conflicts due to geometric design. As part of this task, Fehr & Peers will perform:
• A sight distance evaluation focused on the locations where the sight distance may be altered as a part of the Project; • An analysis of truck turning movements for crossings with Class I and IV facilities; and • A connectivity review to ensure continuous bicycle facilities are provided.

Reduced Emergency Access:

Fehr & Peers will utilize the results from Task 3.b to identify if there are any changes in travel time that may significantly affect emergency access and possible design alternatives.

Atty. Rev. 2021

Deliverables
• One (1) draft and one (1) final 30% preliminary design plan set and engineer's estimate of probable construction cost. • Technical Memorandum of major geometric or traffic impacts from draft 30% preliminary design.

Task 5 - Public Outreach
NCE will prepare relevant existing and proposed cross sections and basic exhibits or renderings for up to one (1) City -led public outreach meeting. If warranted, NCE may prepare a single roll -plot or other project -wide graphical aid to assist with the presentation. The meeting will be an opportunity for local stakeholders including residents, local businesses, and advocacy groups to comment on the draft 30% preliminary design. NCE will be available to make a brief presentation and co -present with the City on major project design highlights. NCE will review public comments submitted to the City and assist with preparing responses to public comments and incorporate agreed upon responses into the final 30% preliminary design effort.

As an optional task, NCE can conduct participation at additional public outreach meetings, city council meetings, or other committee meetings and presentations.

Deliverables:
• Participation at one (1) City -led public outreach meeting.

Task 6 - Technical Studies
Given the proposed work involves primarily surface treatments within the road cross section and pedestrian signals, the potential for impact to resources is very low. However, if the APE and database searches or baseline field assessments identify environmental resources that may be potentially impacted by the Project, NCE will prepare the necessary technical studies to document that impacts will be minimized or eliminated. Only "an" aquatic resources delineation (ARD) has been identified as a potential at this time.

No other reports are anticipated unless environmental hazards are identified, as in the potential case of the shared use path being installed over a historical railroad corridor with excessive contamination. If additional regulatory permits are required not identified in the RFP and agency consultation will be required, additional studies may be required to satisfy those permits, which are not currently included. Therefore, in our fee we have only provided an estimated fee for an aquatic resources delineation at this time.

As the final need and extent of technical studies cannot be known during the RFP, NCE proposes a contingency in the budget to cover Phase I, Limited Phase II, biological and/or cultural resources studies if later required. We also propose a contingency for regulatory permitting costs if the ARD identifies resources that will require permitting that cannot be avoided through design adjustments. NCE has assumed up to 400 hours of optional support, 200 hours each for technical studies support or permitting support. In conjunction with our larger scope and fee, NCE's optional support has been prepared to fit within the City's existing approved PA&ED grant -allocation amount. Prior to initiating any optional technical studies, NCE will provide a clearly revised scope and fee for the City's approval.

NCE will coordinate and liaison with regulatory agencies in response to questions or concerns brought to the City, or should the need arise to proactively reach out to an agency or agencies about the proposed Project. Communications with agencies will be documented in NCE Environmental Tracker should they occur as part of Project delivery.

Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Aquatic Resources Delineation, if warranted. • Regulatory Agency coordination to define permits and technical studies required, if warranted. • Environmental Tracker, if needed.
• Optional - Additional Technical Studies and Permitting Support.

Task 7 - CEQA Document and Administrative Record

7.a. Define Environmental Requirements:

Based on the limited project background information available as part of the RFP and given the proposed work involves primarily surface treatments within the road cross section and pedestrian signals, it is unlikely most improvements will trigger an exception Atty. Rev. 2021

per CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2. Therefore, for purposes of NCE's scope the Project is assumed to be exempt per CEQA Guidelines sections 15301, 15302, and 15304 and a draft and final Notice of Exemption (NOE) and Administrative Record will be prepared.

If any of the exceptions to exemptions applies (Public Resources Code Section 21084(c), (d), and (e) and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2) as determined in the technical studies, then the project no longer qualifies for a categorical exemption. This is not currently anticipated and would require a revision to NCE's scope and fee.

7.b Prepare and Submit Draft Cat Ex Package
To assist the City in demonstrating the proposed action falls within an exempt category, NCE will develop a 'CatEx Package' which includes the CEQA Administrative Record containing a detailed Project Description of the project; the results of database and field survey collected in Tasks 3 and 5; a CatEx Determination specifying the exemptions(s) under which the project activities fall; and a Notice of Exemption (NOE) form that summarizes the City's determination with factual evidence.

Although not required by CEQA Guidelines, NCE recommends the City file the NOE form with the County Clerk (or the Office of Planning and Research when filed by a state agency). The benefit of filing a NOE is that it reduces the statute of limitations for filing a legal challenge to the project from 180 days after project approval to 35 days after filing of the NOE. Thus, filing a NOE reduces the timeframe within which a project is susceptible to legal challenge.

Deliverables:
• CatEx Administrative Record with attached supporting documents. • Notice of Exemption (NOE).

7.c Caltrans Submittal Support (Optional)
Based on NCE's understanding of the City's anticipated improvements for the Active Santa Maria Safe Routes to School Project, existing conditions based on the RFP, and the City's procurement of State -only ATP grant funding, NCE does not anticipate significant paperwork on behalf of the City to file the CEQA NOE with Caltrans Local Assistance and CTC Liaison to complete the PA&ED process. Often times agencies can provide the necessary CEQA documentation directly to the Caltrans Local Assistance Engineer and CTC Liaison. If the City requires additional design support in completing Caltrans and CTC submittal forms, project summaries, or participating in meetings with the Caltrans Local Assistance Engineer and CTC Liaison, NCE can provide optional, as - needed support. For this task NCE has budgeted an optional 50 hours of coordination support, which included with NCE's other scope and optional tasks, should fit within the City's approved PA&ED ATP grant -allocation.

3 FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 16, 2024

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Assistant City Manager Chuen Wu
SUBJECT: Status Update on Encampment Response Efforts
The City Council will receive a status update on encampment response efforts and services to assist the unsheltered in the Santa Maria community.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Santa Maria has actively engaged in efforts to address homeless encampments, in conjunction with efforts by Santa Barbara County and other partner agencies and non-profit organizations, including but not limited to Good Samaritan Shelter and City Net. The City's efforts include coordination from the City Manager's Office, field outreach and enforcement from Police and Rangers and business support from Code Enforcement. Employees from other departments such as Public Works and the City Attorney's Office also contribute as part of a City task force focused on homelessness and encampment response.

DISCUSSION:

Homelessness is a complex social issue and similarly, encampments within communities are challenging to manage and resolve. There is attention to and efforts toward addressing homelessness and encampments through the planning and provision of new permanent and interim housing, along with supportive services, as well as enforcement efforts to keep neighborhoods clean and safe. The planning and development of new housing, even for an interim facility on a temporary basis, requires funding, community acceptance, and other necessary permits.

Enforcing the clearance of an encampment requires diligence and persistence, and adherence to proper noticing requirements and compliance with case law, such as the 2018 court decision of Martin v. Boise. The latest Supreme Court ruling on June 28, 2024, upholds ordinances of the City of Grants Pass, Oregon, that prohibits camping on public property. This ruling overrides the Martin v. Boise decision, which had prevented cities from enforcing anti -camping ordinances if there were not enough homeless shelter beds available for the homeless population.

The point -in -time count for Santa Maria in 2024 reports 424 individuals who are experiencing homelessness. Of these individuals, 189 are reported sheltered, 138 are

reported living outdoors, and 97 are reported living in vehicles. These numbers are a decrease from 2023, in which 472 were reported experiencing homelessness, with 162 reported sheltered, 211 reported living outdoors, and 99 reported living in vehicles.

Between 2023 and 2024, we saw an increase in numbers located in shelters and a decrease in numbers of those living outdoors, from 211 to 138. This is a trend in the right direction since those that live outdoors are most vulnerable to adverse conditions.

In Santa Maria, individuals experiencing homelessness are found in the Santa Maria riverbed, along the Santa Maria Valley railroad, and in other locations throughout the City, including streets in industrial areas, with individuals living in cars and RVs. Community service officers of the police department monitor these areas and issue municipal code violation notices to those in encampments, referencing sections regulating unlawful camping, trespassing, obstruction of pathways, or other applicable violations. City Rangers assist in monitoring parks, trails, and other City -owned properties and facilities.

Code Enforcement Officers work closely with property owners and businesses to coordinate efforts to mitigate encampments on private property, including commercial shopping centers. In these efforts, City staff strive to treat all individuals with respect and provide information on available services. Our police officers and rangers often know these individuals by name and their specific challenges and needs. Their familiarity with the community's unsheltered individuals also gives them insight into trends, such as the migration of other unsheltered individuals moving into or passing through the community.

Earlier this year, in March 2024, Hope Village, an interim supportive housing community with 94 cabins, opened its doors to those experiencing homelessness, focused on unsheltered individuals in the Santa Maria community, those needing recuperative/respite care, and transitional -age youth. It is located across the street from Santa Barbara County offices at the corner of Centerpointe and Southside Parkways. Hope Village is a public - private collaboration between Good Samaritan Shelters, Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley, Dignity Health's Marian Regional Medical Center, DignityMoves, and the County of Santa Barbara. Residents of Hope Village are provided housing navigation services, substance abuse disorder treatment, counseling and mental health treatment, education, and job placement opportunities. There are 24/7 staffing and security services; however, impacts to surrounding businesses remain an ongoing concern.

California State Housing and Community Development (HCD) has awarded Santa Barbara County funding to address homelessness and encampments with multiple rounds of Encampment Resolution Funding (CERF), with CERF-1 directed towards efforts in transit corridors (near highways and railways), CERF-2 in waterways and riverbeds, and CERF-3 towards individuals living in vehicles. Current efforts reflect the administration of funding from CERF-2, and the implementation of outreach and clean-up efforts in the Santa Maria riverbed. Efforts implementing goals of CERF-3 are also underway.

In the month of April 2024, outreach workers and public safety employees from multiple jurisdictions focused on an encampment area in the Santa Maria riverbed, east of the 101 Freeway, identified as the Seaward/Magellan area. From this area, 14 individuals were 2 reported to enter a shelter, including the Santa Maria emergency shelter and Hope Village. These results reflect the diligent efforts of the outreach workers and employees who have spent time building trusting relationships with those living on the riverbed.

These workers assess individuals' needs and offer resources and connections to services, including but not limited to housing, employment, health, and social services.

Workers will focus their efforts on other areas of the riverbed later this year. However, these efforts are phased out over time as they are constrained by the availability of emergency housing and beds. An area just west of the 101 Freeway, with trash and debris easily visible to the public, has been identified as the next area for cleanup. Efforts in the Santa Maria riverbed require the coordination of multiple jurisdictions, including the City of Santa Maria, Santa Barbara County, San Luis Obispo County, and CalTrans, since the properties cross -jurisdiction lines. There are also many different property owners that have land in and near the riverbed.

Santa Maria and Santa Barbara County staff will present additional information on these efforts and be available for questions.
3 FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 16, 2024

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Interim City Manager Alex Posada
BY: Assistant City Manager Chuen Wu
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Sales and Disposition Agreement between the City of Santa Maria and Vernon Property Group, LLC for City Surplus Land in Downtown
Description:

The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to complete negotiations for the Sales and Disposition Agreement between the City of Santa Maria and Vernon Property Group, LLC, which includes the sale of surplus land on various parcels in Downtown.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to complete negotiations for the Sales and Disposition Agreement between the City of Santa Maria and Vernon Property Group, LLC, for various surplus land in Downtown, including parcels identified as Lots 1 through

4. BACKGROUND:

The City Council has consistently identified the revitalization and redevelopment of Santa Maria's downtown as a goal and priority. The City has adopted plans to establish a vision and to facilitate the redevelopment of downtown, including an update to the Downtown Specific Plan in 2015 and the adoption of the Downtown Streetscape Plan in 2019.

To further stimulate Downtown redevelopment, the City identified specific City -owned parcels for development, including the northerly parking lot adjacent to the old Fallas/Mervyn's building and Broadway (Lot 1), the northeast and southeast corners of Main and Broadway (Lot 2 and 3, respectively), and the parking lot east of the Ruffoni building adjacent to Lincoln (Lot 4). The City and the Chamber of Commerce worked together to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) in September 2020, and four proposals were received in response to the RFP. In January 2021, the City selected the Vernon Property Group, LLC (Vernon Group) based on their submitted project design and team qualifications.

The proposed project design included several hundred multi -family housing units, ground - floor commercial retail, and other public amenities, including plazas and open spaces (see Attachment A). This mix of housing, commercial, and gathering spaces, within close proximity to each other, meets the vision of a vibrant and pedestrian -friendly downtown.

In the summer of 2021, the City completed initial State Surplus Lands Act requirements, including all required notifications and good -faith negotiations.

In 2022 and 2023, City staff and Vernon Group continued to work together toward a global sales and disposition agreement (SDA) that includes all four identified City -owned lots.

The City and Vernon Group also discussed Surplus Lands Act requirements with State Housing and Community Development (HCD), including the requirement of setting aside 25 percent of all proposed housing units as income -restricted affordable housing. State HCD had initially communicated to the City that each City -owned lot would need a 25 percent housing set -aside, but after additional discussion, HCD agreed that the requirement for affordable housing could be achieved through consolidation by building one affordable housing development on Lot 2.

While Lot 2 will include affordable units, Lot 1 will include most of the community amenities of commercial uses, plazas, and open spaces, thereby mitigating the displacement of open space at Perlman Park. During the past two years, Downtown Permits were approved for other projects downtown, including Heritage Walk Lofts (former Fallas/Mervyn's), Alvin Newton Apartments (Lot 3), and Cook Street Apartments. The construction plans for both Heritage Walk Lofts and Alvin Newton Apartments are currently in review by the City. Both projects could break ground later in 2024.

DISCUSSION:

On May 7, 2024, City staff provided an overview of the project design and drawings drafted for Lot 1 and Lot 2. As mentioned, Lot 3 includes the previously approved project of Alvin Newton Apartments. Lot 4 is considered as a future option after progress on Lots 1, 2, and 3. The overall project design includes reduced parking compared to what is typically required in the City's development standards. The Downtown Specific Plan allows for reduced parking if the project is located within close proximity to the City's existing parking garages located at Town Center. Staff also recognizes the necessary tradeoffs for achieving the stated downtown vision of a pedestrian -friendly city center.

This tradeoff includes the addition of housing, commercial uses, and gathering spaces in exchange for land and spaces that would otherwise be used for creating parking spaces.

The development proposal incorporates an approach that maximizes the value and potential of a limited infill land area.

The proposed sales and disposition agreement includes four City -owned parcels. The proposed agreement includes project descriptions, design expectations, affordability components, and performance measures for completion. Detailed information for each lot is as follows:

Lot 1:

Lot 1 (APN 123-280-026) is approximately two acres in size and is currently an underutilized parking lot for Town Center West, although it is used for the weekly farmer's market. This lot will include most of the amenities proposed for the overall Downtown revitalization project, including ample plazas, open space, and a reconstruction of Heritage Walk, which serves as a paseo extending west from Broadway. Ground floor commercial uses, including food establishments, will be integrated into these gathering 2 areas, creating an inviting destination environment where visitors can enjoy a meal and gather. The SDA requires a minimum of 20,000 square feet for commercial uses, with a minimum of 10,000 square feet for dining and food establishments. As part of a 6 -story mixed -use structure, residential uses will be built over ground floor parking and commercial uses, including 285 housing units. The SDA will require 75 condominium units out of this housing mix.

Lot 2:

Lot 2 (APN 121-224-035) is approximately 1.12 acres in size and is currently the location for Perlman Park, just south of Union Plaza Apartments. A 6 -story apartment building with 150 affordable housing units is proposed on this site (Attachment B). There is recognition of a loss of park space; however, this loss is mitigated by the addition of plazas and open space on the other lots, particularly Lot 1, with new plazas and paseos. The SDA will require that the housing remain affordable to lower -income households, with a minimum overall affordability of 60 percent of area median income. The SDA will also require landscaped paths connecting the corner of Main and Broadway to Central Plaza Park, maintaining access for those areas north and east of proposed apartments.

Lot 3:

Lot 3 (APN: 125-320-050) is approximately 0.62 acre in size and is currently a plaza area that includes the firefighters' and four corners' memorials. The plaza area is north of Bank of America and west of the Town Center parking garage adjacent to Main Street. The City Council approved Alvin Newton Apartments at this location in October 2023. The project is a six -story, 75,340 -square foot mixed -use building with 5,760 square feet of ground floor commercial, 82 apartment units, and an open space/plaza area for the Firefighters' Memorial (Attachment C). This project is currently in building plan check.

Lot 4.

Lot 4 (APNs: 123-043-007, 008, 010, 011, 013, 014) is approximately 0.84 acre in size and is currently a parking lot serving the Ruffoni building that houses various City offices, including Community Development and City Engineering. The parking lot also serves other nearby businesses fronting West Main Street. As mentioned, this lot is considered as a future option.

Summary Terms
The City proposes terms to incentivize and stimulate new development on these identified surplus lots to advance City goals of Downtown revitalization and economic development.

The terms are summarized in a table in Attachment D. The Lots are listed in the table in the order of development timing, with Lot 3 scheduled for completion first, then Lots 2 and

1. Vernon Group proposes to construct new mixed -use development, including housing (with 25 percent of the units as income -restricted affordable), commercial uses such as restaurants, and added plazas and open space. To incentivize development, the City offers the parcels at a discounted price, use of the Town Center parking structure, as well as discounts on certain fees. These concessions are subject to performance requirements, including adherence to proposed timing for milestones. For each lot, one year is allotted for Planning review and approval, and preparation of construction plans. 3 Six months are allotted for construction plan review and three years are allotted for construction following construction plan approval.

Based on these terms, the City will complete negotiations for the SDA and bring a complete draft of the SDA along with all necessary implementing documents back to the City Council at a future date for final approval.
