COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: David W. Rowlands, City Manager

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Proclamation – “Human Trafficking Awareness Month” – January 2025

The City Council will p resent a Proclamation recognizing January 2025, as “Human Trafficking Awareness Month” in the City of Santa Maria.

BACKGROUND:

Human trafficking, a form of modern slavery, affects over 28 million people globally, including victims in California, which leads the nation in reported cases. This crime involves labor exploitation, commercial sex acts, and other coercive practices. Its concealed nature often leaves communities unaware of its presence. The Santa Barbara County Human Trafficking Task Force works to raise awareness, investigate cases, and prosecute offenders while emphasizing the importance of education and local resources to prevent further victimization. Their efforts highlight the critical role of community action in supporting survivors and combating exploitation close to home.

DISCUSSION:

Despite its prevalence, trafficking often goes unnoticed due to its hidden nature, making community awareness crucial. Education about recognizing signs of trafficking and utilizing local resources is essential in reducing i ts impact. The Santa Barbara County Human Trafficking Task Force has been instrumental in raising awareness, investigating crimes, and supporting survivors, emphasizing that trafficking occurs closer to home than many realize.

During Human Trafficking Awareness Month, residents are encouraged to play an active role in prevention, reporting, and advocating for justice to address this significant human rights violation. This observance reminds everyone of their shared responsibility in combating exploitation and supporting those affected.

WHEREAS, Human Trafficking victims face a cruelty that has no place in a civilized world. It is a crim e that can take many forms, and one that tears at our social fabri c, debases our common humanity, and violates what we stand for as a country; and

WHEREAS, increased education about how to identify human trafficking along with increased knowledge of in-state resources and services for those affected by criminal exploitation can help decrease the number of future victims . T he Santa Barbara County Human Trafficking Task Force is committed to using all applicable laws and resources for investigating human trafficking and prosecuting those engaged in it; and

WHEREAS, the Santa Barbara County Human Trafficking Task Force has worked diligently to bring awareness to the fact that human trafficking occurs closer to home than one might think, that California ranks number 1 in the country for reported human tra fficking cases, and that Santa Barbara County is home to hundreds of survivors of trafficking and exploitation . Human Trafficking Awareness Month is an opportunity to recognize the critical role all Santa Barbara County residents play in preventing, reporting, and adjudicating these heinous crimes.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, ALICE M. PATINO, Mayor of the City of Santa Maria hereby proclaim the month of January 2025 as:

“HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS MONTH”

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Graciela Reynoso, Chief Human Resources Officer

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving an Amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Schematic Pay Schedule and Establish the Class Specification of Electrical and Instrumentation Technician

Description:

The City Council will consider approving the single Comprehensive Schematic Pay Schedule in compliance with the requirements of California Public Employees’ Retirement System to implement salary adjustments to certain Service Employees International Union Local 620 (SEIU) classifications in accordance with Section 4.02 of the CY 2024 - 2025 Memorandum of Understanding with Service Employees International Union Local (SEIU) and approve the establishment of the Electrical and Instrumentation Technician class specification.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution approving a Comprehensive Schematic Pay Schedule to implement the following salary and classification changes:

A. Implement Salary Adjustments for Certain Classifications in the Service Employees International Union Local 6 20 (SEIU) Salary Group, effective December 28, 2024; and
B. Approve the establishment of the Electrical and Instrumentation Technician class specification, as previously adopted by Council in the FY24-26 Adopted Budget.

BACKGROUND:

To implement any salary adjustment for employees, the City is required to submit the proposed adjustments to the City Council in open session for approval. This is mandated by California Code of Regulation Subchapter 1, specifically Employee’s Retirement System Regulations Sectio ns 570.5 and 571.1 (2 CCR§§ 570.5 and 571.1). These regulations dictate when any salary changes occur, the City Council must officially adopt, during a publicly noticed meeting that adheres to all open meeting laws, a stand -alone, unified pay schedule that encompasses all employee classifications.

Implement Salary Adjustments for Certain Classifications in the Service Employees International Union Local 620 (SEIU) Salary Group, effective December 28, 2024.

In accordance with Section 4.02 of the C urrent Year 2024-2025 Memorandum of Understanding with Service Employees International Union Local 620 (SEIU), Santa 2 Maria City Council has agreed previously to conduct a salary review and implement agreed to adjustments.

Approve the establishment of the Electric al and Instrumentation Technician class specification, as previously adopted by Council in the F iscal Year (F Y) 24-26 Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2024, as part of the 2024 -26 Budget Adoption, City Council approved the classification of Electrical and Instr umentation Technician. At this time, staff is bringing forth the class specification for review and approval by City Council for integration into the City’s classification structure.

DISCUSSION:

In administering the City’s classification and compensa tion system, and workforce planning, City Human Resources will periodically present to Council recommended changes and salary adjustments for formal approval. Human Resources seeks approval for the following changes:

Implement Salary Adjustments for Certain Classifications in the Service Employees International Union Local 620 (SEIU) Salary Group
City staff engaged in a comprehensive salary survey of positions brought forth by the Union to review salary for external and internal misalignment. Based on this study Human Resources recommends implementing the proposed salary adjustments for the below classifications to enhance the City’s competitiveness in recruitment efforts . These adjustments are based on a comprehensive salary survey and an internal alignment analysis, addressing the increasing demand for services across the city and its departments.

Human Resources requests City Council approval for the following adjustments to the Comprehensive Salary Schematic Pay (“Schedule”) to take effect December 28, 2024.

City of Santa Maria Classifications

Proposed Salary
Adjustment
Park Services Officer II  12.09%
Park Services Officer I   12.09%
Park Services Officer III  2.00%
Senior Park Services Officer 2.00%
Maintenance Worker II  6.65%
Maintenance Worker I  6.65%
Crew Leader Maintenance Specialist  6.65%
Senior Crew Leader-Maintenance Specialist  6.65%
Office Assistant II  7.61%
Office Assistant I  7.61%
3 Recreation Coordinator  8.70%
Recreation Supervisor  8.70%
Utilities Outreach Specialist  12.14%

Approve the establishment of the Electrical and Instrumentation Technician class specification, as previously adopted by Council in the FY 24-26 Adopted Budget The City Council approved the addition of one (1.0) Full -Time Equivalent (FTE) position for the Electrical and Instrumentation Technician for the Utilities Department (Enterprise Funds). The salary range outlined in the updated Comprehensive Salary Schematic Pay (“Schedule”) and the class specification, both presented as attachments, will serve as the official class specification in accorda nce with Section 2 -20.04.1 of the Santa Maria Municipal Code.

Alternative(s)
A decision by the City Council to not approve the Comprehensive Schematic Pay Schedule would result in being out of compliance with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System.

Fiscal Considerations
Implement Salary Adjustments for certain classifications in the Service Employees International Union Local 620 (SEIU) Salary Group
The estimated annual FY 2024-25 cost of the salary adjustments is approximately $423,815. Of this total, approximately $248,358 is projected to impact the General Fund for fiscal year 2024-25.

Approve establishment of the Electrical and Instrumentation Technician class specification, as previously adopted by Council in the FY 24-26 Adopted Budget This item is administrative in nature and will not generate additional expenditures.

Impact to the Community
Overall, City services will continue to be provided by City employees with no decrease in the level of service to the public. Instead, it is expected that there will be a positive impact and increase to current service levels to the public achieved by attr action and retention of talent management; increased employee job satisfaction; and increased performance to serve the community. The requested schedule change will enhance service to the community and maintain compliance with the California Public Employe es’ Retirement System.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Chuen Wu, Assistant City Manager

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Granting Consent to the County of Santa Barbara to Establish the Santa Barbara County Wine Improvement District and Include the City of Santa Maria in the Established Santa Barbara County Wine Improvement District

Description:

The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution granting consent to the County of Santa Barbara to establish the Santa Barbara County Wine Improvement District and include the City of Santa Maria in the established Santa Barbara County Wine Improvement District.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolutio n granting consent to the County of Santa Barbara to establish the Santa Barbara County Wine Improvement District and include the City of Santa Maria in the established Santa Barbara County Wine Improvement District.

BACKGROUND:

The Santa Barbara County Wine Improvement District (SBCWID) is a benefit assessment district pro posed to continue as a revenue source to help fund destination sales and marketing promotions for Santa Barbara County wine-tasting facilities. This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the state to increase assessed wine-tasting facility sales and revenue. The proposed SBCWID includes all wine-tasting facilities, existing and in the future, located within the boundaries of the County, which includes the unincorporated areas of the County, and the cities of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Solvang, Buellton, Lompoc, Santa Maria, and Guadalupe. Because the proposed SBCWID will include the City of Santa Maria, consent must be granted by the City Council of Santa Maria for the City of Santa Maria to be included in the creation, operation, and future renewals of the SBCWID.

DISCUSSION:

Wine-tasting facility business owners decided to pursue the formation of the SBCWID to establish a revenue source devoted to promoting Santa Barbara County wine -tasting facilities. If established, the SBCWID would generate approximately $1,650,000 on an annual basis for the promotion of wine-tasting facilities specific to Santa Barbara County.

2 Wine Improvement Districts

Wine Improvement Districts (WIDs) utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market-based promotion of assessed businesses. These special assessment districts allow a ssessed business owners to organize their efforts to increase promotions and engagement. Business owners within the WID fund the WID and those funds are used to provide services that are desired by and benefit the assessed businesses within the WID.

WID benefits:

 Funds cannot be diverted for other government programs;  They are customized to fit the needs of each destination;  They allow for a wide range of services; including promotion, engagement, and sales lead generation;
 They are designed, created, and governed by those who will pay the assessment; and
 They provide a stable funding source for the promotion of assessed businesses.

In California, WIDs are primarily formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (94 Law) . This law allows for the creation of special benefit assessment districts to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between WIDs and other special benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the WID.

Management District Plan

The Management District Plan (Attachment C) includes the proposed boundary of the SBCWID, a service plan and budget , and a proposed means of governance. The SBCWID will include all wine-tasting facilities, existing and in the future, located within the boundaries of the County, which includes the unincorporated areas of the County, and the cities of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Solvang, Buellton, Lompoc, Santa Maria, and Guadalupe.

The annual assessment rate is one percent of the gross sales revenue of assessed wine- tasting facilities. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on purchases made outside of the state or purchases made pursuant to contracts executed prior to March 1, 2025. Revenue generated from the SBCWID is intended only to provide programs and services for assessed businesses, all of which are located in California.

Sales made outside of the state of California are not subject to assessment due to a lack of benefits. Assessment dollars will not be spent on any programs or activities to benefit individual wine-tasting facilities outside of the state of California. Assessment dollars may be spent outside of California to elevate the notoriety of t he County as a premier winery destination with the desired outcome of increased in -person visitation to businesses paying the assessment.
3 The proposed SBCWID will have a five -year term, beginning March 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending five years from its start date. The assessment will be implemented beginning March 1, 2025. Once per year beginning on the anniversary of SBCWID formation there is a 30-day period in which business owners paying 50 percent or more of the assessment may protest and begin proceedings to terminate the SBCWID.

A third -party collection agency will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis from each assessed wine-tasting facility. The third-party collection agency shall forward the assessments to the Santa Barbara County Vintners Association, which will have the responsibility of managing SBCWID programs as provided in the Management District Plan. The third -party collection agency shall be paid a fee of up to two percent of the amount of assessment collected to cover its costs of collection and administration.

Alternative(s)
The City Council could choose not to adopt the Resolution Granting Consent. Staff does not recommend this option.

Fiscal Considerations
None immediately. Because the SBCWID programs are intended to increase visitation to wine tasting facilities in the County, including the City of Santa Maria, there may be an increase in sales tax collections.

SBCWID Management District Plan 3
October 25, 2024

I. OVERVIEW

Developed by Santa Barbara County wine tasting facilities and the Santa Barbara County Vintners Association (SBCVA), a non-profit organization, and the County of Santa Barbara, the Santa Barbara County Wine Improvement District (SBCWID) is an assessment district proposed to provide specific benefits to payors, by funding promotions & engagement efforts with the goal to advance assessed businesses in Santa Barbara County. This approach has been used successfully in other wine regions throughout the country to provide the benefit of driving increased business sales directly to payors.

Location: The SBCWID includes all wine tasting facilities , existing and in the future, located within the boundaries of the County of Santa Barbara (County), which includes the unincorporated areas of the County, and the cities of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Solvang, Buellton, Lompoc, Santa Maria, and Guadalupe , as shown on the map in Section III.

Services: The SBCWID is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing wine tasting facility sales and revenue therefrom. Promotions & engagement will promote assessed wine tasting facilities in the SBCWID to increase wine tasting facility sales revenue.

Budget: The total SBCWID annual assessment budget for the initial year of its five (5) year operation is anticipated to be approximately $1,650,000. A similar budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this budget is expected to fluctuate as sales do and as businesses open and close.

Cost: The annual assessment rate is one percent (1%) of gross sales revenue of assessed wine tasting facilities. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on purchases made outside of the state of California or purchases made pursuant to contracts executed prior to March 1, 2025. Revenue generated from the SBCWID is intended only to provide programs and services for assessed businesses, all of which are located in California. Sales made outside of the state of California are not subject to assessment due to a lack of benefit. Assessment dollars will not be spent on any programs or activities to benefit individual wine tasting facilities outside of the state of California. Assessment dollars may be spent outside of California to elevate the notoriety of the Santa Barbara County as a premier winery destination with the desired outcome of increased in -person visitation to business es paying the assessment.

Collection: A third-party collection agency shall be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis (including any delinquencies, overdue charges and interest) from each assessed wine tasting facility located in the boundaries of the SBCWID. The third- party collection agency shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each assessed wine tasting facility.

Duration: The SBCWID will have a five (5) year life, beginning on March 1, 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending five (5) years from the start date . After five (5) years, the SBCWID may be renewed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, Streets and Highways Code section 36600 et seq. (94 Law) if assessed business owners support continuing the SBCWID programs.

SBCWID Management District Plan 4
October 25, 2024

Management: The SBCVA will serve as the Owners’ Association to provide improvements and activities for the SBCWID. The Owners’ Association must provide an annual report on activities and expenditures to the County, which is also available to assessed business owners.

SBCWID Management District Plan 5
October 25, 2024
II. BACKGROUND

Wine Improvement Districts are an evolution of the traditional Business Improvement District (BID).

BIDs utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market -based promotion of business districts. BIDs allow business owners to organize their efforts to increase sales and promotional efforts. Business owners within the district fund a BID, and those funds are used to provide services that the businesses desire and benefit the businesses within the district.

Business Improvement District services may include, but are not limited to:

➢ Marketing of the District

➢ Business Promotion Activities

➢ Infrastructure Improvements

In California, BIDs are formed pursuant to the 94 Law. This law allows for the creation of special benefit assessment districts to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between BIDs and other special benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are managed by the private non-profit corporation governing the district.

There are many benefits to Business Improvement Districts:

➢ Funds cannot be diverted for other government programs;

➢ Services are customized to fit the needs of each district;

➢ They allow for a wide range of services, including those listed above;

➢ Business Improvement Districts are designed, created and governed by those who will pay the assessment; and

➢ They provide a stable funding source for business promotion.

The 94 Law is provided in Appendix 1 of this document.

III. BOUNDARY

The SBCWID will include all wine tasting facilities , existing and in the future, located within the boundaries of the County, which includes the unincorporated areas of the County, and the cities of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Solvang, Buellton, Lompoc, Santa Maria, and Guadalupe, as shown on the map below.

Wine tasting facility means: A business, primarily used for the retail marketing and sales of wine and related goods, open to all settings at which wine and related goods can be sold, including but not limited to: publicly available settings, by appointment only reservations, private and exclusive tastings, or other public or private events where wine and related goods may be sold. Wine tasting facility includes, but is not limited to, vineyard locations with onsite tastings, hospitality and retail rooms on site at producing wineries, and stand-alone tasting rooms in commercial areas. All wine tasting facilities must possess a 02 Department of Alcohol Beverage Control license.

A complete listing of assessed wine tasting facilities within the SBCWID can be found in Appendix 2.

October 25, 2024
IV. ASSESSMENT BUDGET AND SERVICES

A. Annual Service Plan
Assessment funds will be spent to provide specific benefits conferred or privileges granted directly to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable cost to the County of conferring the benefits or granting the privileges. The privileges and services provided with the SBCWID funds are promotions & engagement available only to assessed businesses.

A service plan assessment budget has been developed to deliver services that benefit the assessed businesses. A detailed annual assessment budget will be developed and approved by SBCVA. The chart below illustrates the initial annual assessment budget allocations. These activities and allocations will also apply in subsequent years. The total initial assessment budget is estimated to be $1,650,000.

Although actual revenues will fluctuate due to market conditions, the proportional allocations of the assessment budget shall remain the same. However, the County and the SBCVA board shall have the authority to adjust budget allocations between the categories by no more than twenty percent (20%) of the total budget per year. A description of the proposed improvements and activities for the initial year of operation is below. The same activities are proposed for subsequent years. In the event of a legal challenge against the SBCWID and/or the County, any and all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the SBCWID and/or the County. The costs of creating the SBCWID may be repaid to SBCVA reserves by deducting repayment funds proportionally from budget categories.

Each budget category includes all costs related to providing that service. For example, the promotions & engagement budget includes the cost of staff time dedicated to overseeing and implementing the promotions & engagement program. Staff time dedicated purely to administrative tasks is allocated to the administration portion of the budget. The costs of an individual staff member may be allocated to multiple budget categories. The staffing levels necessary to provide the services below will be determined by the Owners’ Association on an as-needed basis.

Promotions & Engagement, 73%
$1,204,500
Administration, 20%
$330,000
Contingency / Reserve, 5%
$82,500
Collection Fee, 2%

SBCWID Management District Plan 8
October 25, 2024
Promotions & Engagement
The promotions & engagement program will promote Santa Barbara County as a premium winegrowing region and a premier global wine destination and leader in the global wine community.

The promotions & engagement program will have a central theme of promoting Santa Barbara County as a desirable place to visit and a desirable area to purchase wines. The program has the goal of increasing visitation, retail sales at and recognition for assessed wine tasting facilities, and may include the following activities:
• Brand development initiatives to increase awareness and demand for assessed wine tasting facilities;
• Create innovative ways to deliver Santa Barbara County content to potential visitors to increase awareness and demand for assessed wine tasting facilities; • Customer segmentation, market analysis, and other research to increase awareness and demand for wine tasting facilities;
• Digital marketing initiatives and campaigns to increase awareness and demand for wine tasting facilities;
• Maintain and optimiz e SBCountyWines.com, and Santa Barbara Vintners social media channels to showcase the breadth of reasons to visit the destination to increase awareness and demand for assessed wine tasting facilities;
• Festivals and events to increase demand for Santa Barbara County wine from assessed wine tasting facilities;
• Support education regarding cultivation practices, water management, vineyard management, and other viticulture practices for assessed wineries;
• Support education amongst assessed wineries to cultivate wine expertise and community among assessed wineries’
• Educational workshops for assessed wine tasting facilities to increase visitation and sales as assessed wine tasting facilities; and
• Developing and implementing crisis communication plans during disaster events within the SBCWID.

The Owners’ Association will also build and maintain relationships with County and City governments to educate local leaders on issues that impact assessed wine tasting facilities , while refraining from activities that seek to influence legislation. Education and engagement will include collaboration with the County Planning Commission, Board of Supervisors, Farm Bureau, and Dep artment of Agriculture, as well as City Councils.

Administration and Operations
The administration and operations portion of the budget shall be utilized for administrative staffing costs, office costs and other general administrative costs such as insurance, legal, and accounting fees.

A portion of the budget may be used to cover the cost of a third -party to audit the SBCWID assessment funds as well as businesses paying the SCBWID assessment. The results of the audit shall be made available to the County, SBCVA, and businesses paying the SBCWID assessment.

Collection Fee
A third-party collection agency shall be paid a fee up to two percent (2%) of the amount of assessment collected to cover its costs of collection and administration.

SBCWID Management District Plan 9
October 25, 2024
Contingency / Reserve
The budget includes a contingency line item to account for lower than anticipated assessments or higher than expected program costs. If there are contingency funds collected, they may be held in a reserve fund or utilized for other programs, administratio n, or renewal costs at the discretion of the Owners’ Association. Policies relating to contributions to the reserve fund, the target amount of the reserve fund, and expenditure of monies from the reserve fund shall be set by the Owners’ Association. Contingency/reserve funds may be spent on SBCWID programs or administrative and renewal costs in such proportions as determined by the Owners’ Association. The reserve fund may be used for the costs of renewing the SBCWID.

B. Annual Budget
The total five (5) year assessment budget is projected at approximately $1,650,000 annually, or approximately $8,250,000 through 2030. This amount may fluctuate as sales do and as wine tasting facilities open and close.

C. California Constitutional Compliance
The SBCWID assessment is not a property-based assessment subject to the requirements of Proposition 218. Courts have found Proposition 218 limited the term ‘assessments’ to levies on real property.1 Rather, the SBCWID assessment is a business -based assessment, and is subject to Proposition 26. Pursuant to Proposition 26 all levies are a tax unless they fit one of seven exceptions.

Two of these exceptions apply to the SBCWID, a “specific benefit” and a “specific government service.” Both require that the costs of benefits or services do not exceed the reasonable costs to the County of conferring the benefits or providing the services.

1. Specific Benefit
Proposition 26 requires that assessment funds be expe nded on, “ a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.”2 The services in this Plan are designed to provide targeted benefits directly to assessed businesses, and are intended only to provide benefits and services directly to those businesses paying the assessment. These services are tailored not to serve the general public , businesses in general, or parcels of land, but rather to serve the specific businesses within SBCWID. The activities described in this Plan are specifically targeted to increase sales for assessed wine tasting facili ties within the boundaries of the SBCWID, and are narrowly tailored. SBCWID funds will be used exclusively to provide the specific benefit of increased sales revenue directly to the assessees. Assessment funds shall not be used to feature non -assessed wine tasting facilities in SBCWID programs, or to directly generate sales for non-assessed wine tasting facilities. The activities paid for from assessment revenues are business services constituting and providing specific benefits to the assessed wine tasting facilities.

The assessment imposed by this SBCWID is for a specific benefit conferred directly to the payors that is not provided to those not charged. The specific benefit conferred directly to the payors is an increase in wine tasting facility sales revenue. The specific benefit of an increase in sales revenue for assessed wine tasting facilities will be provided only to wine tasting facilities paying the district assessment, with promotions & engagement promoting wine tasting facilities paying the SBCWID assessment. The promotions & engagement programs will be designed to increase sales revenue at each assessed wine tasting facility . Because they are necessary to provide the promotions & engagement that specifically benefit the assessed wine tasting facili ties, the administration and

SBCWID Management District Plan 10
October 25, 2024
contingency services also provide the specific benefit of increased sales revenue to the wine tasting facilities.

Although the SBCWID, in providing specific benefits to payors, may produce incidental benefits to non-paying businesses, the incidental benefit does not preclude the services from being considered a specific benefit. The legislature has found that, “A specific benefit is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific benefit’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific benefit to the payor.”3

2. Specific Government Service
The assessment may also be utilized to provide, “a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product .”4 The legislature has recognized that promotions & engagement services like those to be provided by the SBCWID are government services within the meaning of Proposition 26 5. Further, the legislature has determined that “a specific government service is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific government service’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific government service to the payor.”6

3. Reasonable Cost
SBCWID services will be implemented carefully to ensure they do not exceed the reasonable cost of such services. The full amount assessed will be used to provide the services described herein. Funds will be managed by the SBCVA, and reports submitted on an annual basis to the County. Only assessed wine tasting facilities will be featured in marketing materials, receive sales leads generated from SBCWID-funded activities, be featured in advertising campaigns, and benefit from other SBCWID-funded services. Non-assessed wine tasting facilities will not receive these, nor any other, SBCWID-funded services and benefits.

D. Assessment
The annual assessment rate is one percent ( 1%) of gross sales revenue of assessed wine tasting facilities. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on purchases made outside of the state of California or purchases made pursuant to contracts executed prior to March 1, 2025.

Revenue generated from the SBCWID is intended only to provide programs and services for assessed wine tasting facilities, all of which are located in California. Sales made outside of the state of California are not subject to assessment due to a lack of benefit. Assessment dollars will not be spent on any programs or activities to benefit individual wine tasting facilities outside of the state of California.

Assessment dollars may be spent outside of California to elevate the notoriety of the San Barbara County as a premier winery destination with the desired outcome of increased in-person visitation to business paying the assessment.

The assessment was calculated based on the total cost of the activities to be provided for the benefit of the businesses within the SBCWID with costs allocated based on the proportional benefit conferred to each business. Activities funded by the SBCWID are specifically targeted to increase wine tasting facility sales revenue at assessed businesses. All wine tasting facility sales do not represent the same benefit to the payors. For example, a higher priced wine tasting facility is of greater benefit than a

5 Government Code § 53758(b)
6 Government Code § 53758(b)

SBCWID Management District Plan 11
October 25, 2024
lower priced wine tasting facility because the assess ee derives greater revenue. To account for this benefit differential and to make sure the benefits are proportional, an assessment formula based on a percentage of revenue has been selected. The proposed formula accurately reflects greater benefit to assessed businesses with higher priced wine tasting facility sales.

The term “gross sales revenue” as used herein means: all direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales of wine, wine club shipments (whether shipped or picked up), ticket sales, tasting fees, tours and private and public special events, merchandise, prepared foods for on -premise or off -premise consumption (whether sold in a tasting room or a stand -alone restaurant on -premise), orders placed via telemarketing, telephone, online, email, whether carried out at the time of purchase, shipped or picked up at a later date (pre -sales). Gross sales revenue shall not include any federal, state or local taxes collected, including but not limited to sales and use taxes.

The assessment is levied upon and a direct obligation of the assessed wine tasting facility. However, the assessed wine tasting facility may, at its discretion, pass the assessment on to customers. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each customer, shall be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount charged and any other applicable taxes, and each customer shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. If the SBCWID assessment is identified separately it shall be disclosed as the “Wine Preserve Assessment.” The assessment is imposed solely upon, and is the sole obligation of the assessed wine tasting facility even if it is passed on to customers. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) issued a written opinion that state sales tax applies to the revenue generated from business improvement district assessments on items where state sales tax is levied. In light of CDTFA’s opinion, businesses that pay both state sales tax and SBCWID assessments on sales are advised to collect sales tax on the assessment revenue.

Bonds shall not be issued.

E. Overdue Charges and Interest
The SBCWID shall reimburse the third party collection agency for any costs associated with collecting unpaid assessments.

1. Original Delinquency
Any wine tasting facility that fails to remit any assessment imposed by this section within the time required shall pay a n overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the assessment.

2. Continued Delinquency
Any wine tasting facility that fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay a second delinquency overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the assessment in addition to the assessment and the ten percent (10%) overdue charge first imposed.

3. Fraud
If the third-party collection agency determines that the nonpayment of any remittance due under this article is due to fraud, a n overdue charge of twenty -five percent (25%) of the amount of the assessment shall be added thereto in addition to the overdue charges stated in paragraph one (1) and two (2) above of this section.

4. Interest
In addition to the overdue charges imposed, any wine tasting facility who fails to remit any assessment imposed by this section shall pay interest at the rate of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of overdue charges, from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid.

October 25, 2024

F. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
The SBCWID assessment will be implemented beginning March 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, and continuing for five (5) years from the start date. A third-party collection agency will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis (including any delinquencies, overdue charges and interest) from each wine tasting facility located in each jurisdiction within the SBCWID.

A third-party collection agency shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each wine tasting facility. A third-party collection agency shall forward the assessments collected to the Owners’ Association.

V. GOVERNANCE

A. Owners’ Association
Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36651, the MDP may identify the body that shall implement the proposed program, which shall be the Owners' Association as defined in Streets and Highways Code §36612. The SBCVA will serve as the Owners' Association for the SBCWID.

B. Brown Act and California Public Records Act Compliance An Owners’ Association is a private entity and may not be considered a public entity for any purpose, nor may its board members or staff be considered to be public officials for any purpose. The Owners’ Association is, however, subject to government regulations relating to transparency, namely the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act. These regulations are designed to promote public accountability. The Owners’ Association acts as a legislative body under the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code §54950 et seq.). Thus, meetings of the Board and certain committees must be held in compliance with the public notice and other requirements of the Brown Act. Accordingly, the Owners’ Association shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present for the action. The Owners’ Association is also subject to the record keeping and disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act.

C. Annual Report
The SBCVA shall present an annual report at the end of each year of operation to the Board of Supervisors pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650 (see Appendix 1). The annual report shall include:
• Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of businesses within the district.
• The improvements and activities to be provided for that fiscal year. • An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year. • The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each business owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for that fiscal year.
• The estimated amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year.
• The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part.

(ALL 2023 LEGISLATION)

STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE
DIVISION 18. PARKING
PART 7. PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT LAW OF 1994

CHAPTER 1. General Provisions

ARTICLE 1. Declarations

36600. Citation of part

This part shall be known and may be cited as the “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994.”

36601. Legislative findings and declarations; Legislative guidance

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Businesses located and operating within business districts in some of this state’s communities are economically disadvantaged, are underutilized, and are unable to attract customers due to inadequate facilities, services, and activities in the business districts. (b) It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of business districts in order to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. (c) It is of particular local benefit to allow business districts to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that receive benefits from those improvements.
(d) Assessments levied for the purpose of conferring special benefit upon the real property or a specific benefit upon the businesses in a business district are not taxes for the general benefit of a city, even if property, businesses, or persons not assessed receive incidental or collateral effects that benefit them. (e) Property and business improvement districts formed throughout this state have conferred special benefits upon properties and businesses within their districts and have made those properties and businesses more useful by providing the following benefits:
(1) Crime reduction. A study by the Rand Corporation has confirmed a 12-percent reduction in the incidence of robbery and an 8-percent reduction in the total incidence of violent crimes within the 30 districts studied.
(2) Job creation.
(3) Business attraction.
(4) Business retention.
(5) Economic growth.
(6) New investments.
(f) With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies throughout the state, property and business improvement districts have become even more important tools with which communities can combat blight, promote economic opportunities, and create a clean and safe environment. (g) Since the enactment of this act, the people of California have adopted Proposition 218, which added Article XIII D to the Constitution in order to place certain requirements and restrictions on the formation of, and activities, expenditures, and assessments by property-based districts. Article XIII D of the Constitution provides that property-based districts may only levy assessments for special benefits. (h) The act amending this section is intended to provide the Legislature’s guidance with regard to this act, its interaction with the provisions of Article XIII D of the Constitution, and the determination of special benefits in property-based districts.
(1) The lack of legislative guidance has resulted in uncertainty and inconsistent application of this act, which discourages the use of assessments to fund needed improvements, maintenance, and activities in property-based districts, contributing to blight and other underutilization of property. (2) Activities undertaken for the purpose of conferring special benefits upon property to be assessed inherently produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not

SBCWID Management District Plan 15
October 25, 2024
assessed. Therefore, for special benefits to exist as a separate and distinct category from general benefits, the incidental or collateral effects of those special benefits are inherently part of those special benefits. The mere fact that special benefits produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed does not convert any portion of those special benefits or their incidental or collateral effects into general benefits. (3) It is of the utmost importance that property-based districts created under this act have clarity regarding restrictions on assessments they may levy and the proper determination of special benefits. Legislative clarity with regard to this act will provide districts with clear instructions and courts with legislative intent regarding restrictions on property-based assessments, and the manner in which special benefits should be determined.

36602. Purpose of part

The purpose of this part is to supplement previously enacted provisions of law that authorize cities to levy assessments within property and business improvement districts, to ensure that those assessments conform to all constitutional requirements and are determined and assessed in accordance with the guidance set forth in this act.

This part does not affect or limit any other provisions of law authorizing or providing for the furnishing of improvements or activities or the raising of revenue for these purposes.

36603. Preemption of authority or charter city to adopt ordinances levying assessments

Nothing in this part is intended to preempt the authority of a charter city to adopt ordinances providing for a different method of levying assessments for similar or additional purposes from those set forth in this part. A property and business improvement district created pursuant to this part is expressly exempt from the provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (Division 4 (commencing with Section 2800)).

36603.5 Part prevails over conflicting provisions

Any provision of this part that conflicts with any other provision of law shall prevail over the other provision of law, as to districts created under this part.

36604. Severability

This part is intended to be construed liberally and, if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Assessments levied under this part are not special taxes.

The management district plan shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:
(a) If the assessment will be levied on property, a map of the district in sufficient detail to locate each parcel of property and, if businesses are to be assessed, each business within the district. If the assessment will be levied on businesses, a map that identifies the district boundaries in sufficient detail to allow a business owner to reasonably determine whether a business is located within the district boundaries. If the assessment will be levied on property and businesses, a map of the district in sufficient detail to locate each parcel of property and to allow a business owner to reasonably determine whether a business is located within the district boundaries.
(b) The name of the proposed district.
(c) A description of the boundaries of the district, including the boundaries of benefit zones, proposed for establishment or extension in a manner sufficient to identify the affected property and businesses included, which may be made by reference to any plan or map that is on file with the clerk. The boundaries of a proposed property assessment district shall not overlap with the boundaries of another existing property assessment district created pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit the bou ndaries of a district created pursuant to this part to overlap with other assessment districts established pursuant to other provisions of law, including, but not limited to, the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (Part 6 (commencing with Section 36500)). This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a business assessment district created pursuant to this part to overlap with another business assessment district created pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a bu siness assessment district created pursuant to this part to overlap with a property assessment district created pursuant to this part. (d) The improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each year of operation of the district and the estimated cost thereof. If the improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each year of operation are the same, a description of the first year’s proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities

SBCWID Management District Plan 19
October 25, 2024
and a statement that the same improvements, maintenance, and activities are proposed for subsequent years shall satisfy the requirements of this subdivision.
(e) The total annual amount proposed to be expended for improvements, maintenance, or activities, and debt service in each year of operation of the district. If the assessment is levied on businesses, this amount may be estimated based upon the assessment rate. If the total annual amount proposed to be expended in each year of operation of the district is not significantly different, the amount proposed to be expended in the initial year and a statement that a similar amount applies to subsequent years sha ll satisfy the requirements of this subdivision.
(f) The proposed source or sources of financing, including the proposed method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each property or business owner to calculate the amount of the assessment to be levied against their property or business. The plan also shall state whether bonds will be issued to finance improvements.
(g) The time and manner of collecting the assessments. (h) The specific number of years in which assessments will be levied. In a new district, the maximum number of years shall be five. Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years.

Notwithstanding these limitations, a district created pursuant to this part to finance capital improvements with bonds may levy assessments until the maximum maturity of the bonds. The management district plan may set forth specific increases in assessments for each year of operation of the district. (i) The proposed time for implementation and completion of the management district plan. (j) Any proposed rules and regulations to be applicable to the district. (k)
(1) A list of the properties or businesses to be assessed, including the assessor’s parcel numbers for properties to be assessed, and a statement of the method or methods by which the expenses of a district will be imposed upon benefited real property or businesses, in proportion to the benefit received by the property or business, to defray the cost thereof. (2) In a property-based district, the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined exclusively in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the activities. An assessment shall not be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and a property-based district shall separate the general benefits, if any, from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. Parcels within a property-based district that are owned or used by any city, public agency, the State of California, or the United States shall not be exem pt from assessment unless the governmental entity can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit. The value of any incidental, secondary, or collateral effects that arise from the improvements, maintenance, or activities of a property- based district and that benefit property or persons not assessed shall not be deducted from the entirety of the cost of any special benefit or affect the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel.
(3) In a property-based district, properties throughout the district may share the same special benefits. In a district with boundaries that define which parcels are to receive improvements, maintenance, or activities over and above those services provided by the city, the improvements, maintenance, or activities themselves may constitute a special benefit. The city may impose assessments that are less than the proportional special benefit conferred, but shall not impose assessments that exceed the reasonable costs of the proportional special benefit conferred. Because one or more parcels pay less than the special benefit conferred does not necessarily mean that other parcels are assessed more than the reasonable cost of their special benefit. (l) In a property-based district, a detailed engineer’s report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California supporting all assessments contemplated by the management district plan.
(m) Any other item or matter required to be incorporated therein by the city council.

36623. Procedure to levy assessment

(a) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased property assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure shall comply with Section 53753 of the Government Code. (b) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure shall comply with Section 54954.6 of the Government Code, except that notice shall be

SBCWID Management District Plan 20
October 25, 2024
mailed to the owners of the businesses proposed to be assessed. A protest may be made orally or in writing by any interested person. Every written protest shall be filed with the clerk at or before the time fixed for the public hearing. The city council may waive any irregularity in the form or content of any written protest. A written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing. Each written protest shall contain a description of the business in which the per son subscribing the protest is interested sufficient to identify the business and, if a person subscribing is not shown on the official records of the city as the owner of the business, the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person subscribing is the owner of the business or the authorized representative. A written protest that does not comply with this section shall not be counted in determining a majority protest.

If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the proposed district that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the pr oposed assessment against such businesses, as contained in the resolution of intention, shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the city council. (c) If a city council proposes to conduct a single proceeding to levy both a new or increased property assessment and a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the property assessment shall comply with subdivision (a), and the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the business assessment shall comply with subdivision (b). If a majority protest is received from either the property or business owners, that respective portion of the assessment shall not be levied. The remaining portion of the assessment may be levied unless the improvement or other special benefit was proposed to be funded by assessing both property and business owners.

36624. Changes to proposed assessments

At the conclusion of the public hearing to establish the district, the city council may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify the proposed assessment or the type or types of improvements, maintenance, and activities to be funded with the revenues from the assessments. Proposed assessments may only be revised by reducing any or all of them. At the public hearing, the city council may only make changes in, to, or from the boundaries of the proposed property and business improvement district that will exclude territory that will not benefit from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities. Any modifications, revisions, reductions, or changes to the proposed assessment district shall be reflected in the notice and map recorded pursuant to Section 36627.

36625. Resolution of formation

(a) If the city council, following the public hearing, decides to establish a proposed property and business improvement district, the city council shall adopt a resolution of formation that shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:
(1) A brief description of the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities, the amount of the proposed assessment, a statement as to whether the assessment will be levied on property, businesses, or both within the district, a statement on whether bonds will be issued, and a description of the exterior boundaries of the proposed district, which may be made by reference to any plan or map that is on file with the clerk. The descriptions and statements need not be detailed and shall be sufficient if they enable an owner to generally identify the nature and extent of the improvements, maintenance, and activities and the location and extent of the proposed district. (2) The number, date of adoption, and title of the resolution of intention. (3) The time and place where the public hearing was held concerning the establishment of the district.
(4) A determination regarding any protests received. The city shall not establish the district or levy assessments if a majority protest was received.
(5) A statement that the properties, businesses, or properties and businesses in the district established by the resolution shall be subject to any amendments to this part. (6) A statement that the improvements, maintenance, and activities to be conferred on businesses and properties in the district will be funded by the levy of the assessments. The revenue from the levy of assessments within a district shall not be used to provide improvements, maintenance, or activities outside the district or for any purpose other than the purposes specified in the resolution of intention, as modified by the city council at the hearing concerning establishment of the district.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, improvements and activities that must be provided outside the

SBCWID Management District Plan 21
October 25, 2024
district boundaries to create a special or specific benefit to the assessed parcels or businesses may be provided, but shall be limited to marketing or signage pointing to the district. (7) A finding that the property or businesses within the area of the property and business improvement district will be benefited by the improvements, maintenance, and activities funded by the proposed assessments, and, for a property-based district, that property within the district will receive a special benefit.
(8) In a property-based district, the total amount of all special benefits to be conferred on the properties within the property-based district.
(b) The adoption of the resolution of formation and, if required, recordation of the notice and map pursuant to Section 36627 shall constitute the levy of an assessment in each of the fiscal years referred to in the management district plan.

36627. Notice and assessment diagram

Following adoption of the resolution establishing district assessments on properties pursuant to Section 36625, the clerk shall record a notice and an assessment diagram pursuant to Section 3114. No other provision of Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 3100) applies to an assessment district created pursuant to this part.

36628. Establishment of separate benefit zones within district; Categories of businesses

The city council may establish one or more separate benefit zones within the district based upon the degree of benefit derived from the improvements or activities to be provided within the benefit zone and may impose a different assessment within each benefit zone. If the assessment is to be levied on businesses, the city council may also define categories of businesses based upon the degree of benefit that each will derive from the improvements or activities to be provided within the district and may impose a different assessment or rate of assessment on each category of business, or on each category of business within each zone.

36628.5. Assessments on businesses or property owners

The city council may levy assessments on businesses or on property owners, or a combination of the two, pursuant to this part. The city council shall structure the assessments in whatever manner it determines corresponds with the distribution of benefits from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities, provided that any property - based assessment conforms with the requirements set forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (k) of Section 36622.

36629. Provisions and procedures applicable to benefit zones and business categories

All provisions of this part applicable to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of a property and business improvement district apply to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of benefit zones or categories of business.

(5) The estimated amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year.
(6) The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part.

CHAPTER 6. Disestablishment

36670. Circumstances permitting disestablishment of district; Procedure

(a) Any district established or extended pursuant to the provisions of this part, where there is no indebtedness, outstanding and unpaid, incurred to accomplish any of the purposes of the district, may be disestablished by resolution by the city council in either of the following circumstances:
(1) If the city council finds there has been misappropriation of funds, malfeasance, or a violation of law in connection with the management of the district, it shall notice a hearing on disestablishment.
(2) During the operation of the district, there shall be a 30-day period each year in which assessees may request disestablishment of the district. The first such period shall begin one year after the date of establishment of the district and shall continue for 30 days. The next such 30-day period shall begin two years after the date of the establishment of the district. Each successive year of operation of the district shall have such a 30-day period. Upon the written petition of the owners or authorized representatives of real property or the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the district who pay 50 percent or more of the assessments levied, the city council shall pass a resolution of intention to disestablish the district. The city council shall notice a hearing on disestablishment.
(b) The city council shall adopt a resolution of intention to disestablish the district prior to the public hearing required by this section. The resolution shall state the reason for the disestablishment, shall state the time and place of the public hearing, and shall contain a proposal to dispose of any assets acquired with the revenues of the assessments levied within the property and business improvement district. The notice of the hearing on disestablishment required by this section shall be given by mail to the property owner of each parcel or to the owner of each business subject to assessment in the district, as appropriate. The city shall conduct the public hearing not less than 30 days after mailing the notice to the property or business owners. The public hearing shall be held not more than 60 days after the adoption of the resolution of intention.

(a) Upon the disestablishment or expiration without renewal of a district, any remaining revenues, after all outstanding debts are paid, derived from the levy of assessments, or derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, or from bond reserve or construction funds, shall be refunded to the owners of the property or businesses then located and operating within the district in which assessments were levied by

SBCWID Management District Plan 25
October 25, 2024
applying the same method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the fiscal year in which the district is disestablished or expires. All outstanding assessment revenue collected after disestablishment shall be spent on improvements and activities specified in the management district plan. (b) If the disestablishment occurs before an assessment is levied for the fiscal year, the method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the immediate prior fiscal year shall be used to calculate the amount of any refund.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Jeffrey M. Marecic, Chief Information Officer

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Entering into an Agreement with the ReDesign Group for the Implementation of a Cloud-based Computer Backup System

Description:

The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the ReDesign Group to implement a cloud -based computer backup system.

Environmental Notice:

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to enter into an agreement with the ReDesign Group to implement a cloud -based computer backup system and provide three years of system maintenance, licensing, and support.

BACKGROUND:

The City operates numerous critical computer applications and systems essential to the functioning of all City Departments. These include office applications such as email, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, as well as department-specific applications for Public Safety, Finance, Public Works, Library, City Attorney, Recreation and Parks, City Manager, Utilities, and Community Development. These systems store and process current and historical transactional data within databases housed in City datacenters that are located at the Police Department and City Hall. This data is maintained in two locations within the data centers: an active transactional database and a backup copy stored on separate computer hardware. The backup copy facilitates quick recovery of information that has been accidentally deleted or otherwise corrupted.

While this backup strategy is highly effective for typical recovery scenarios, it does not safeguard the City’s data against local disasters such as fires, floods, or earthquakes that could destroy or incapacitate the data center equipment. Additionally, housing both the transactional data and its backup in the same physical location exposes the City to the 2 risk of cyber-attacks, which could potentially compromise both the primary database and the backup.

The proposed solution is to create backup data at a second location situated offsite. This solution will ensure that, regardless of any disaster event, the City will have a copy of its critical data with which it can recover its transactional systems in a timely manner.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed project follows best practices in the computer information security industry.

This strategy labelled the “3 -2-1” strategy states that organizations should maintain 3 copies of their data (1 primary and 2 copies), on 2 different storage media, with 1 copy stored offsite away from the primary storage location. Our current approach already fulfills the first two principles of this strategy, and this project aims to enhance our informati on security posture by implementing the third principle. The City’s Information Technology division follows a continuous improvement methodology, especially when it comes to information security. In response to the increasing prevalence and sophistication of cyber- attacks, the division has systematically reinforced its security defenses over the past several years. This project represents the next step in improving system security.

By adopting this enhanced backup strategy, the City will achieve several key benefits:

 Increased Data Resiliency : Safeguarding our data against local disasters ensures uninterrupted operations and quick recovery.
 Enhanced Cybersecurity: Reducing the risk of simultaneous compromise of both primary and backup data mitigates the potential impact of cyber-attacks.  Compliance and Best Practices: Aligning with industry standards demonstrates the City's commitment to data protection and serves as a benchmark for continuous improvement, which is a key element in our annual application for cyber insurance.

The proprietary nature of our backup solution precludes seamless integration with other vendor solutions. Attempting such integration would introduce unnecessary complexity by necessitating disparate hardware and software, potentially leading to synchronization errors between backup datasets. Re Design was responsible for the design and installation of our current hyperconverged infrastructure, which represents an investment exceeding one million dollars. Re Design also provides ongoing support, annual maintenance, and licensing for the existing system. Introducing another vendor or dissimilar hardware and software for a relatively minor addition would be disruptive and result in the nee d to manage multiple support vendors and technologies. As such, this project complies with the standardization requirements in the City’s procurement guidelines.

The procurement mechanism for this project adheres to the Cooperative Purchasing Program out lined in City Council Resolution No. 2004 -31, which authorizes the establishment of a cooperative purchasing program for procuring supplies, services, and 3 equipment. The products have been pre -negotiated under the NASPO ValuePoint Cooperative Purchasing Pr ogram contract number 23026, utilizing the California Participating Addendum number 7-23-70-55-01.

This project not only reinforces our current security measures but also positions the City as a proactive leader in information security management.

Fiscal Considerations
The cost for the project including system implementation and 3 years of licensing, support, and maintenance is $199,278. These funds have already been appropriated in the final phase of the capital project to implement Microsoft Office 365.

Impact to the Community
The community benefits from this project by ensuring that all City data and information are securely stored and recoverable in the event of a local disaster or cyber -attack that may render the City’s computer systems inoperable.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Dana Eady, Interim Community Development Director

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Code Enforcement Division Update

The City Council will receive and file an informational report concerning the Code Enforcement Division’s outreach efforts and accomplishments for the 2024 calendar year, and goals for the upcoming 2025 calendar year.

BACKGROUND:

Code Enforcement is a division within the Community Development Department. The Code Enforcement Division currently has seven staff members including a Manager, Supervisor, four Officers, and a technician. The Code Enforcement Division is responsible for the investigation of municipal code violations including, but not limited to, substandard housing, zoning complaints, public nuisances, weeds, rubbish, and other neighborhood blight issues. Code Enforcement regularly communicates and works collaboratively with other departments and outside agencies to address city -wide violations and issues with the primary goal of preserving the integrity of public health, safety, and welfare, while also providing education to the community.

DISCUSSION:

I. Code Enforcement Division Tasks and Responsibilities  Intake and investigate service requests received from various outlets including the public, outside agencies, and city departments; Neighborhood Connect for graffiti; and City Manager’s Office and City Council.
 Open proactive cases to reduce blight city-wide and address substandard housing conditions.
 The Code Enforcement Division aids most City departments:
- Utilities Department: address violations to include, but not limited to backflow violations, illegal dumping, storm water issues, water abuse and water theft. - Planning and Building Divisions: concerning permits failing to be finalized, stop work orders, unpermitted construction, unpermitted signs, as well as other Santa Maria Municipal Code (SMMC) zoning violations.
- Fire Department: concerning health and safety concerns and SMMC violations. 2 - Police Department: concerning health and safety concerns and SMMC violations.
- Finance Department: involving business licenses.
- Public Works Department: involving unpermitted work, primarily in the City rights-of-way.

 Facilitate the City of Santa Maria Task Force monthly meetings consisting of numerous City Departments. The team collaborates to find solutions involving city- wide problematic trends.
 Conduct “ Walk-n-Talks”, which provide education for both residential and commercial areas. Occasionally CED will team up with other departments to include the Fire Department, Police Department, and City Rangers.  Address unpermitted sidewalk/street vending and food operations on private property and public property.
 Inspect and permit mobile commercial car washing operations.  Participate in various Community Outreach events such as Downtown Fridays, National Night Out, and other events as requested by outside agencies.

II. Summary of Accomplishments and Outreach Efforts in 2024  There were 2,246 violations reported, and 1,901 violations abated.  497 cases were referred by other City departments.
 Increased efforts with the Santa Maria Police Department, Fire Department, and City Rangers to address city-wide issues.
 Assisted the Fire Department with enforcement of illegal fireworks.  Continued collaboration with the City’s PEG Production Team for an informational series, “Did You Know”, which is viewable on YouTube. Thus far, three segments have been released. Education was provided for how Code Enforcement can assist the community, mobile car washing and vendor requirements, and storage of items in the public right-of-way.
 Collaborated with Allan Hancock College and the Chamber of Commerce to provide municipal code education to the community.
 Continued collaboration efforts with the Public Health Department regarding unpermitted food vendors.
 Presented photos and information during a Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) meeting regarding unpermitted food vendors.  Weekend and evening details addressing unpermitted mobile car washing, catering vehicles, and vendor violations.
3 III. Objectives for 2025

1. Substandard Housing
Continue outreach efforts and enforcement to address substandard housing violations.

2. Unpermitted Construction
With housing shortages being felt throughout the state and the cost of housing increasing, unpermitted and in many cases unsafe construction has increased in garages, to include unpermitted Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Code Enforcement intends to continue outreach efforts to provide education and enforcement. There were 112 unpermitted construction violations this past year, compared to 94 last year.

3. Neighborhood Preservation Projects
Addressing blight through neighborhood projects, educational videos through the City’s PEG program, and the “Walk-and-Talk” program.

4. Mobile Commercial Car Wash Operators
Code Enforcement continues to work with the Mobile Commercial Car Wash operators in obtaining Mobile Commercial Car Wash permits and business licenses. Code Enforcement will continue to work with the Finance Department, City Rangers, and SMPD to enforce municipal code violations.

5. Walk-and-Talk Program
Continue outreach efforts in residential and commercial areas.

6. Unpermitted Sidewalk and Food Vendors
Continue outreach and enforcement efforts, to include coordination with other City Departments and outside agencies.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Bradley J. Dandridge, Fire Chief

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Donation of Extractors and Fitness Equipment from the One805 organization.

Description:

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution approving the donation of two extractors and fitness equipment to the Santa Maria Fire Department from the One805 organization.

BACKGROUND:

The One805 organization is a 501(c)(3) non -profit organization formed after the 2018 mudslides in Montecito. The goal of the organization is to show their appreciation for first responders, including all fire, police, and sheriff agencies in Santa Barbara County, by providing them with needed equipment and counseling.

Government Code Section 37354 provides that the City Council may accept any gift, bequest, or devise made to or for the City, or to or for any of its offices in their official capacity, or in trust for any public purpose. City Administrative Memo (CAM 2017-01) sets forth procedures for reviewing, accep ting, and acknowledging gifts and/or donations offered to the City in order to: 1) establish compliance with the law in a consistent manner regardless of the source of the donation; 2) establish uniform procedures for the receipt of donations to the City; 3) cultivate an environment where residents and businesses want to contribute to the City’s programs and facilities; 4) promptly acknowledge and express appreciation for donations; and 5) assure donations are properly inventoried and accounted for.

2 DISCUSSION:

The two extractors, required for the cleaning and decontamination of firefighting turnouts to remove carcinogens and bloodborne pathogens, will significantly improve firefighter wellness. Currently, the department only has extractors at three of the five fire stations resulting in crews leaving their assigned district and traveling to other stations to clean their turnouts. Having an extractor in each station allows crews to remain in their district and respond to calls for service while cleaning their turnouts.

The fitness equipment is being donated to Fire Station 6, located at the airport, to support the crew of new Engine 6 and the Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighter (ARFF). The fitness equipment allows personnel to maintain their strength, mobility, and wellness.

Fiscal Considerations
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this donation. Any minor maintenance requirements for the donated equipment would be absorbed within the department’s existing budget. The total cost of the two extractors is approximately $25,089.66, and the fitness equipment is $24,982.21 and will be paid in full by One805.

In accordance with the City’s Gift and/or Donation Policy, offers of donations valued at more than $25,000 must be accepted by the City Council.

Impact to the Community
The donation of this equipment will improve the overall health and wellness of the firefighters who serve the community.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the submission of an application for the 2026 Grant Program Cycle of the California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant.

BACKGROUND:

Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) is a partnership effort between the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the State of California. Each year OTS develops a highway safety plan identifying the key highway safety problems in the state and the most effective measures to address them.

The Santa Maria Police Department (SMPD) has received Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grants from OTS since 2009. The awarded grant funding has been used for staff overtime working targeted traffic operations and for the purchase of equipment.

The SMPD is currently operating on a one-year OTS Grant that was awarded in October 2024. This grant has paid for overtime for specialized Driving Under the Influence (DUI) enforcement, DUI/driver license checkpoints, repeat DUI offender stakeouts, traffic safety presentations, and bike/pedestrian operations.

DISCUSSION:

The SMPD would like to submit a grant application for the Fiscal Year 2026 Grant Cycle to continue the previously implemented STEP and DUI Checkpoint programs. If awarded, the new OTS grant will run from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, and allow the SMPD to continue to supplement its enforcement efforts in critical traffic areas of the city and target traffic factors that lead to fatal and injury collisions. Funding will include overtime and fringe benefits, training, and travel for officers, as well as funding for the purchase of DUI checkpoint supplies.
2 Fiscal Considerations
There are no matching funds required for this grant application.

Impact to the Community
With this funding, enforcement directed at making Santa Maria’s roads safer will have a positive impact on the community. This grant will provide funding for t raffic officers to continue their educational and enforcement efforts to combat the traffic issues within the City.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Proposed Quitclaim of Portions of East Jones Street, South McClelland Street, and South Miller Street

Description:

The City Council will consider approving the quitclaim of a portion of East Jones Street and acceptance of quitclaims for portions of South McClelland Street and South Miller Street in an effort to support the future development of APN 125-142-002.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution approving the acceptance of quitclaims for portions of South Miller Street and South McClelland Street and granting a quitclaim for a portion of East Jones Street to G.A. Hancock Properties Inc and acceptance of a 20 -foot-wide Public Utility Easement, Multi-Purpose Trail and Landscape Easement.

BACKGROUND:

Property owner, G. A. Hancock Properties Inc. (G.A. Hancock), identified the following inconsistencies with a review of their property bo undary; portions located along South McClelland Street and South Miller Street were located within the existing roadways. In addition, it was also found that the formal dedication of East Jones Street was never formally accepted by the City as right -of-way. Although shown on current APN maps as right-of-way, a thorough record search of the chain of title found no formal acceptance.

G.A. Hancock seeks to clarify the boundary of APN 125 -142-002 with two actions; a quitclaim of the portions of property in street right -of-way to the City and request a quitclaim of the City to G. A. Hancock for East Jones Street, see Attachments A, B, and C.

DISCUSSION:

Upon review of the request, City staff supports the quitclaim of the portions of property along South McClelland Street and South Miller Street with no issue. These areas are currently maintained by the City as right-of-way.

2 Staff is supportive of a quitclaim of a portion of East Jones Street to G. A. Hancock.

However, following the quitclaim of the thi rty-foot-wide East Jones Street, the City will require a 20-foot-wide easement for the following; Public Utility Easement, Multi-Purpose Trail, and Landscape Easement. The subject easement will accommodate the land necessary for the City’s Rule -20 program (underground of PG&E facilities) and provide the necessary width for any potential improvements of a multi -purpose trail and accompanying landscaping in the easement area. The property owner is supportive of the grant of easement. The timing of the development of APN 125-142-002 is unknown.

Alternative(s)
City Council may choose to not accept the quitclaim along McClelland and Miller and grant the quitclaim of a portion of East Jones Street to G. A. Hancock. This alternative is not recommended as the denial will prohibit the formal development of APN 125-142-002 and the installation of the necessary PG&E infrastructure for the Rule 20-A program.

Fiscal Considerations
The acceptance of the quitclaims from G. A. Hancock for South McClelland Street and South Miller Street will result in no additional cost to the City, as the City is currently maintaining those areas. The quitclaim of a portion of East Jones Street from the City to G.A. Hancock will also result in no additional cost, as the subject area is cu rrently an abandoned railroad right-of-way.

Impact to the Community
There is no immediate impact to the community, however, the quitclaim of the subject areas enhances the potential for development in the downtown civic center area. In addition, it also reduces the number of overhead power and utility lines and provides for an improved modern appeal.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Proposed Grant of Easement to Pacific Gas & Electric for the Rule 20A Program

Description:

The City Council will consider granting easements to Pacific Gas & Electric on City property to accommodate the Rule 20A Program.

RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

Since 1967, moving electric utilities underground in the State of California has been performed under California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) Rule 20. Under Part A of Rule 20, (Rule 20A) undergrounding is paid for and performed by the local electric ut ility PG&E. Through the Rule 20A program, P acific Gas & Electric (PG&E) is required to annually set aside funds from electric utility ratepayers, in the form of work credits, for financing the undergrounding of overhead utilities.

Criteria utilized to identify an improvement area for the Rule 20A program is met by the following: “to benefit a civic or a public recreation area.” The City Civic Center is generally bounded by Broadway State Route 135 on the West, Cook Street on the North, Miller Street on the East, and Jones Street on the South. City government offices, Elks Field, and the Abel Maldonado Youth Center are located in the subject area.

DISCUSSION:

In order to accommodate the Rule 20A Program, easements not only from the City are necessary, but private property owners are encouraged to participate as well. City staff, in coordination with PG&E, have reached out to property owners to convey the benefit of 2 the program and help obtain the necessary easements. Private property easements do not require Council action and can be recorded once approved.

Two City easements are located on South McClelland Street adjacent to the Abel Maldonado Youth Center, and two are located on South Miller Street adjacent to the Transit Center. City staff has ident ified the specific location of the proposed easement areas to the appropriate staff with no objections. To improve the aesthetics of the program, staff seeks to underground the necessary transformer equipment along South McClelland Street. PG&E is aware of the request and will attempt to comply with the City’s request.

The easements requested by PG&E are necessary to support their work and accommodate the necessary infrastructure to convert overhead utilities to underground.

Additionally, these easements grant the right to periodically construct, reconstruct, install, inspect, maintain, replace, remove, and operate facilities within the easement area.

Alternative(s)
City Council may choose to deny the request to grant PG&E the necessary easements.

However, this alternative is not recommended as the denial will prohibit the Rule 20A Program and will result in the loss of proposed funding for the project.

Fiscal Considerations
The grant of easements for the Rule 20A Program will result in no significant cost to the City other than the cost of the necessary staff time to accommodate the City and private easements.

Impact to the Community
The impact to the community will be an aesthetic enhancement to the Civic Center with the elimination of the overhead utilities converted to underground.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Alex Posada, Director of Recreation & Parks

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the Submittal of 2024 Asphalt Art Initiative Grant Application

Description:

The City Council will consider approving a grant application to Bloomberg Philanthropies for Santa Maria Asphalt Art Initiative.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the submittal of a project application to Bloomberg Philanthropies Foundation for the Santa Maria Asphalt Art Initiative.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Santa Maria is committed to enhancing public spaces and improving community engagement through creative initiatives that promote public safety, art, and vibrancy. The Bloomberg Philanthropies Asphalt Art Initiative offers cities the opportunity to receive grant funding to transform streets and public spaces with large -scale art installations. One of the program's requirements is that applicants must partner with a non-profit organization to serve as the fiduciary agent for the project. To meet this requirement, the Recreation and Parks Department will partner with PLAY, Inc., a trusted local non-profit, to serve as the fiduciary agent. This partnership will allow the City to apply for up to $100,000 in funding, which would support the creation of an asphalt art project in Santa Maria. In addition to PLAY, Inc., other key partners in the project include SB Move and Youth Arts Alive, who will help support the initiative’s objectives.

DISCUSSION:

The Bloomberg Philanthropies Asphalt Art Initiative offers cities an opportunity to enhance public spaces while improving pedestrian safety, slowing traffic, and creating visually engaging urban environments. Through this grant, Santa Ma ria seeks to create a large - scale public art installation that will transform an underutilized public space into a vibrant and welcoming area for both residents and visitors.

A key requirement of the initiative is the involvement of a non -profit partner. The City’s Recreation and Parks Department will collaborate with PLAY, Inc., a local non -profit organization, to serve as the fiduciary agent for the project. PLAY, Inc. will manage the financial aspects of the grant, ensuring proper fund disbursement, compliance with grant 2 guidelines, and financial transparency. Additionally, other project partners, such as SB Move and Youth Arts Alive, will contribute their expertise in promoting pedestrian mobility and supporting youth arts programs, respectively. This m ulti-partner collaboration will ensure that the project is well -rounded, supports various community needs, and aligns with the goals of the Asphalt Art Initiative.

The Public Works Department will also play a crucial role in supporting the project by assisting with the logistics and infrastructure requirements needed for the successful implementation of the art installations. The combination of these partnerships will allow the City to create an impactful, collaborative project that engages the community a nd transforms public spaces.

Alternative(s)
The City Council could decline the opportunity to apply for funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies and not pursue the asphalt art project at this time. Without this funding, the City would not be able to undertake a large-scale public art project in the near future, and other funding sources would need to be identified to pursue similar initiatives.

Fiscal Considerations
The City would be applying for full funding for the project through the Bloomberg Philanthropies Asphalt Art Initiative. There would be no immediate fiscal obligation from the City’s general fund, as the grant is designed to cover the full costs of the art installation and any associated enhancements. If the grant is awarded, the City will manage the project in accordance with the terms outlined by Bloomberg Philanthropies, ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of funds.

Impact to the Community
The proposed asphalt art project has the potential to positively impact the Santa Maria community in several keyways. First, it will enhance the aesthetics of public spaces, making the city more visually appealing for residents, visitors, and businesses . Second, by improving pedestrian safety through creative designs that increase visibility and slow traffic, the project could help reduce accidents and make public spaces more inviting and accessible. Finally, the project will provide opportunities for co mmunity engagement by involving local artists and residents in the creation and celebration of the artwork. This will strengthen the sense of pride and ownership among community members while fostering a stronger connection to public spaces.

While the artwork for the Railroad and Depot Community Connections Project is yet to be designed, we will be working with the local community to develop the crosswalk's appearance. Here are examples of successful crosswalk art projects in other cities:

 Long Beach, California: Crosswalks featuring sea life paintings reflect the City's coastal heritage and enhance pedestrian visibility.

 Wheeling, West Virginia: Creative crosswalks, such as fish skeleton designs, brighten up the Centre Market area, contributing to the City's cultural vibrancy.

These examples demonstrate how crosswalk art can enhance safety, reflect local culture, and foster community pride, serving as valuable references for our project.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Alex Posada, Recreation and Parks Director

DATE: January 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolutions Approving Annexation and Assessment of Parcels into City Landscape Maintenance Districts

Description:

The City Council will consider adopting Resolutions of annexation and assessment in the Northeast and Southeast Landscape Maintenance Districts.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Adopt a Resolution annexing and authorizing the assessment of landscape maintenance fees to Alvin Newton Apartments in the Northeast Landscape Maintenance District (Streets and Highways Code Section 22500, Et Seq.); and

2. Adopt a Resolution annexing and authorizing the assessment of landscape maintenance fees to Casa Del Bambini and Bradley Commercial located in the South Miller Street / South College Street Maintenance District (Streets and Highways Code Section 22500, Et Seq).

BACKGROUND:

The City of Santa Maria has conditioned Alvin Newton Apartments , DT2022-0022; Bradley C ommercial, PD2023-0019 & TR2023 -0004; and Casa Del Bambini , U2023- 0003 for the ongoing maintenance of landscape facilities served by the Northeast, and Southeast Landscape Maintenance Districts under the provision of the “Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972” for the purpose of levying and collecting assessments for perpetual landscape maintenance.

DISCUSSION:

At the City Council meeting of June 4th, 2024, the City Council adopted a Resolution initiating the proceedings to establish and levy the 202 4-25 Landscape Maintenance District Assessments for the ongoing maintenance of landscape facilities served by the Northwest, Northeast, and Southwest Landscape Maintenance District.

This item directs staff to add these assessments for Alvin Newton Apartments to the Northeast, Bradley Commercial , and Casa Del Bambini to the Southeast Landscape Maintenance Districts on the County of Santa Barbara Property Tax Roll.

2 Fiscal Considerations
The annual costs of landscape maintenance are assessed against the b enefited properties within said Districts. These assessments are reflective of the cost associated with the upkeep of public landscaping within these Districts.

Impacts to the Community
These annexations and assessments provide for the maintenance of landscaping in perpetuity. The assessments generate a funding base to help finance the majority of the landscape maintenance costs within each of the respective districts named in this report, which in turn allows the City of Santa Maria to provide the highest level of service to residents.
