16.B. Request of Mayor Brock, Vice Mayor Negrete, and Councilmember Davis that the City Council direct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution for Council consideration that recites that, while the City of Santa Monica is respectful of everyone’s First Amendment rights to free speech, in some instances harm can come from expression that is false and/or counter to the public interest.

The resolution should reflect the Council’s disapproval of signs placed upon a building along the 3rd Street Promenade that falsely state that the City Manager approves of the County’s “free needle and meth pipe” program, as in fact the program is implemented by a contractor of Los Angeles County pursuant to state law, and the City Council and City Manager play no role in authorizing the program. Further, to the extent that there is City policy on the program, the City Council is the source of any such City policy on the subject, not the City Manager. Finally, the signs also may be counter-productive to the community’s stated goal of economic recovery as they may deter people from visiting and shopping in Santa Monica at a time when the City’s retail, travel, and entertainment businesses are still recovering from the pandemic. - New Item Received 6/21/2024

16.C. Request by Councilmember Parra and Mayor Brock to direct the City Manager and City Attorney to return with amendments to the Municipal Code, including a potential interim zoning ordinance, to allow in R2, R3, and R4 zone districts only front fence, wall, and hedge heights to be limited to 72” in height in the front setback, address measurements that may include retaining walls, and suspend enforcement and pending applications until the ordinance becomes effective in R2, R3, and R4 for those that would comply with that standard. - New Item Received 6/21/2024

16.D. Request of Councilmembers Zwick and Torosis that, upon the expansion of Santa Monica’s Preserving Our Diversity (POD) program, the City Manager take steps to address historic underrepresentation of Pico Neighborhood residents in the program relative to the community’s percentage of residents over 65 experiencing poverty. Specifically, this should include: - New Item Received 6/21/2024
City of Santa Monica Generated: 6/26/2024 2:17 PM Page 12

1. Enhancing the Housing and Human Service Department’s outreach plan through partnerships with local faith- based and community-serving organizations including but not limited to Familias Latinas Unidas, St. Anne’s, Calvary Baptist, The Venice Family Clinic on Pico, the Pico Neighborhood Association, and the senior programming and food pantry at Virginia Avenue Park.

2. Offering direct technical assistance with filling out the POD program application at Virginia Avenue Park.

3. Assessing the Jan 1, 2000 habitation requirement as well as other eligibility criteria, with the authority to make the program more flexible and expansive.

4. Give preference to applications from census tracts designated as “disadvantaged” by the state under SB 535 Disadvantaged Communities, subject to any limitations imposed by state and federal fair housing laws, in consultation with the City Attorney’s Office.

5. Authorizing up to 5% of newly designated program resources to be spent on enhanced outreach and technical assistance in the Pico Neighborhood, if necessary.

16.E. Request of Mayor Brock that the City Attorney and City Manager return to City Council no later than July 23, 2024 with a proposal to place a parcel tax measure on the November 2024 ballot to generate resources to address public safety and homelessness. More specifically, the proposed parcel tax should generate $7.5 million per year and allow for resources generated by the tax to support items such as enhanced police services, private security in downtown, and multidisciplinary outreach teams. The tax should also have a sunset date 10 years after its effective date. - New Item Received 6/21/2024

Subject: Act now to Stop SB7 and the State attack on democracy Attachments: SB7 Opposition letter to Assembly Local Governance Committee.docx Follow Up Flag: Follow up
Flag Status: Completed

EXTERNAL
Dear neighbors and friends,
Local Control over land use is under attack again. Take action today to stop SB7 before the vote is taken on Wednesday.

Senate Bill 7 burst on the housing scene as a "gut-and-amend bill" that was originally advanced to generate housing for the homeless but has morphed through various amendments into the
current version - a bill that will further limit local control over land use with the potential to wipe our single family
neighborhoods.

The latest version of SB7 includes this outrageous language:

This bill, for regions in which the department is required to distribute the regional housing need, would prohibit a city or county from filing an objection to the regional housing need determination.

This means that if SB7 is passed it will give even more power to HCD (Housing Community Development), a State agency that caters to developers and investors with the pretense of generating housing that is affordable. Marc Verville calls SB7 "a backdoor process to start erasing R1" by forcing the adoption of SB10.

A vote on SB7 will be taken this Wednesday (June 26) by the Assembly Local Government Committee. Please take a moment to read the Northeast Neighbors letter (below and attached), send emails to the Item 1
June 25, 2024
Item 1

The board members of Santa Monica Northeast Neighbors – a city recognized neighborhood association - strongly and unanimously oppose SB7.

We ask you to vote NO on SB7 for these reasons:
 SB7 undermines the rights of local governments to determine the land use designation of their communities, even when they are meeting their RHNA mandates.  SB7 grants final authority over RHNA methodology to an unelected executive branch body, the Department of Finance, which can override local housing needs assessments.  SB7 limits the applicability of all local voter-approved restrictions on urban development to only where such restrictions exist under federal or state programs, or both, designed to protect open space, farmland, environmental habitats, and natural resources on a long-term basis, including land zoned or designated for agricultural protection or preservation that is subject to Item 1

Attachment: Written Comments [Revision 1] (6499 : Written Comments) 4 a local ballot measure that was approved by the voters of that jurisdiction. This potentially places at risk all locally-protected non-federal or state open space.  SB7 mandates that housing allocations be developed without any reference to existing zoning, and that the state entities developing the allocations can do so under their own untethered assumptions of city zoning, without any accountability for their decisions.  SB7 prohibits a city or county from filing an objection to the regional housing need determination, further eliminating any accountability on the allocating state entities.

Local governments are best positioned to balance housing needs with community interests through their own land use decisions. Working within the existing framework helps ensure that under-utilized areas are explored to the fullest extent possible.

If local jurisdictions can meet their RHNA obligations and promote fair housing without altering their land use designations, why should the state intervene?
SB 7 represents unwarranted top-down and unaccountable interference in local land use matters.

Please vote no on SB7.

Thank you for your service,

Dear Councilmembers;
I feel this city was asleep at the switch when SB10 was forced down our throats. We could have and should have fought against intervention by state lobbyists seeking to over-densify every city in the state. More is coming our way with SB7, and I urge you to become fully versant with its details and the impacts it will have on local zoning controls. If you fail, the charm and character of Santa Monica as a livable community will soon be gone forever.

Subject: SB-7
As a land use attorney for the past 45 years, I have vast experience with zoning issues. SB-7 and SB-10 are a continuation of Sacramento's attempt to force density on cities throughout the state, eliminating single-family zoning, irrespective of local conditions, wants, or needs. This is all done in the name of a "housing crisis" on the theory that the state legislators will control and override local governments that do not want increased density. As we have seen with SB-10, cities are getting boiling mad and starting to sue, in one case winning a ruling that SB-10 is unconstitutional because it fails entirely to do anything to cure the cited justification, a lack of "affordable" housing. Let's hope the citizens remain committed to the rule of law in expressing their outrage over what Sacramento is doing at the behest of the real estate/development industry. It's time to step back and re-assess the wisdom of what you are doing. In that vein, I am writing to ask that you vote against adoption of SB-7, a law that is obnoxious in the extreme and is sure to incur the wrath of residents throughout the state, leading to further disrespect for the state legislative process..

Subject: City of Santa Monica Regular Meeting Tuesday June 25, 2024 1. Public Input

EXTERNAL
I have been living in Santa Monica since 1991. My wife and I purchased a condo at 1214 14th Street in 1998. It is directly across from the parking lot at 1211-1217 14th Street. Our building is also directly behind the parking lot at 1217 Euclid Street, so the proposed developments at these two locations will affect us directly.

There is no doubt that there is a need for affordable housing in this city and in all of Los Angeles county.

Had my wife and I not purchased our condo, we would probably be priced out of the Santa Monica rental market. I know for sure that my two children would not be able to afford to live in the city of their youth.

If the city is forced to provide affordable housing by the lawmakers in Sacramento, then perhaps this housing should be prioritized for the people that make Santa Monica such a wonderful place to live. I'm referring to the Teachers, Policeman, Firefighters and other city employees who have been priced out of the market. Next in line should be the employees of stores in the neighborhood, such as Vons, RIte Aid, Unleashed, Ulta etc. These are the people that make this city vibrant.

The locations selected by the council for this development make no sense to me. Removing close to 100 public parking spaces that are close to all of the commerce on Wilshire Boulevard will be a death sentence to some of the small shops that are just scratching by. Both Euclid and 14th street between WIlshire and Arizona are permit only parking streets. Where are the customers going to park, as most stores do not have their own lots? I also saw that the new buildings will not have enough spots for all of the units being built. Where are the tenants going to park? This is a fairly congested neighborhood. This decision will only increase the density and overburden the current infrastructure.

Lastly, and most importantly, both 14 Street and Euclid Street are corridors for school children going to and coming home from Lincoln Middle School, 310 Tutors and McKinley Elementary school. Is it a wise idea to put in housing and services for the chronically mentally ill and people requiring drug rehabilitation? According to the plans I read, there would be on site staff until 4:00 PM but I did not read anything about security. What happens after 4:00 PM? This plan was not discussed in a public forum and I'm certain the PTA of Lincoln MIddle School would have been outraged by this decision.

I would like the city council to reconsider this plan to make sure that by trying to solve the problem of affordable housing it does not create a series of problems (traffic congestion, crime, lack of parking and reduced infrastructure in the neighborhood) that will be much harder to correct if the plan goes through as currently conceived.

Thank you,

Hate to hit you two days in a row, but this sociopath was arrested after attempting to rape a 17 year-old girl at the beach, strangling her until she lost consciousness and breaking her nose. He then attempted to rape and drown another woman, a homeless woman who is a hero that seems in real need of our services, who came to the girl’s aid. Victim 3 was a 73 year-old tourist from Montreal who also intervened and was robbed of a necklace and dragged 40 feet in another attempted drowning. Welcome to Santa Monica!
THIS VIDEO OF THE ARREST AND AFTERMATH IS GOING VIRAL WITH A HALF A MILLION VIEWS IN 20 HOURS
This is now our brand. I have seen this guy in my neighborhood and at Reed Park several times. I saw similar craziness down at the beach during a company retreat at Castle Del Mar the same day a woman was dragged into a restroom.

Tonight you are honoring the officer with EMT training who saved the life of the stabbed tourist a few weeks ago. As far as I’m concerned, we have gotten lucky nobody was killed, but that's only a matter of time. If you really want to honor him, hire more officers like him. Otherwise, these are empty words from half of the council who thinks cops are the bad guys and all this homeless sociopath needs is an apartment in Santa Monica.

And this line from the resolution itself reveals an inability for some on the council to accept that safety, crime, and disorder are the major impediments to our recovery:

Finally, the signs also may be counter-productive to the community’s stated goal of economic recovery as they may deter people from visiting and shopping in Santa Monica at a time when the City’s retail, travel, and entertainment businesses are still recovering from the pandemic.

What pablum—solve the problem, not the sign. The store owners getting robbed aren’t leaving because of a slow recovery. They are leaving because they are getting robbed blind. Stop playing budget games and get serious about getting to the 300 police that our professional force is telling us they need. Be useful and start lobbying Sacramento to support the new Prop 47 rewrite that’s on the ballot instead of them trying to poison pill it. Because what happens when two of these attacks happens at the same time with an understaffed force? We have to face that we have urban problems in a suburban setting and any new tax should only be for sworn officers because that is the only kind of deterrence that will work.

Intelligence is the ability to hold two things to be true at the same time:

1. Half the homeless are deserving of our attention (why don’t our expensive services start by reaching out to the hero homeless woman who saved that young girl’s life?).

2. Half of the homeless are criminal, or addicts, or mentally ill—or some combination of all three (the homeless hero accurately called this perp a “scumbag” at the end of the video).

We are all carrot, and no stick. Until we change our reputation amongst the people we don’t want here, we will continue to scare off the people we do want. Give us some kind of sign in tonight’s meeting that you’re awake at the wheel.

Mayor Brock, Mayor Pro Tem Negrete, and Council Members, As a longtime resident of Santa Monica, and in-act, an 84 year old resident of Mid-City, specifically Mid-Wilshire, I am in alliance with the the concerns expressed by the other residents, businesses and neighborhood groups about the proposed housing developments at 1217 Euclid, 1211-1217 14th Street and 1146 16th Street, as the were presented to you at the March 19, 2024 City Council Meeting during the RFP process.

As an independent senior who drives to all my appointments and relies on public parking I am extremely concerned about these projects that removes all existing public parking spaces at the sites. I use a walker so the prospect of parking farther away from my appointments seems unfair and not through properly.

Respectfully, the city of Santa Monica has not given residents proper input on this project nor have they given a voice to us as residents to state our many concerns.

The project, as proposed, exacerbate the existing parking and traffic issues for residents, visitors, hospital patients and businesses. The 6 story buildings will dwarf the existing residential dwellings, and erode the character of the neighborhood, and the safety issues created by building a 65 unit building for “Tri morbid individuals with cooccurring mental illness, substance addiction, and physical health issues” - The People Concern’s RFP response materials (3/19/24), directly in the route of children walking to and from Lincoln Middle School and PS1 has not been addressed.

I am asking that you, the City Council, request the city staff do their due diligence by communicating with the neighborhood residents, schools and businesses, prior to engaging in the current RFP agreement. Although it is not required, it would seem negligent and thoughtless, not to do a current crime, traffic or infrastructure strain study on the proposed projects.

As an 84 year old I have seen many things change for better and for worse. It's of my opinion that when you involve everyone and are transparent and listen to all sides change becomes beneficial. Please allow our voices to be heard in a meaningful way during the process of changing our neighborhood.

Mayor Brock, Mayor Pro Tem Negrete and Council Members:

I stand in alliance with my neighbors from the Mid-Wilshire, aka Mid City neighborhood, to express my deep concerns about the proposed housing developments at 1217 Euclid, 1211-1217 14th, and 1146 16th Streets which were presented to you at the March 19, 2024 City Council Meeting during the RFP process.

While we understand the critical need for affordable housing and the challenges posed by the California state mandate, we strongly believe that these projects, as currently planned, will have severe negative impacts on the safety, livability, and character of our neighborhood.

We are most concerned about neighborhood safety in light of the proposal to place 48 units of supportive housing among the 130 unit total, the enormous 6-story buildings which are three stories taller than other buildings in the area, designed without set backs and completely out of character with the neighborhood, and the crippling loss of all public parking at these locations. Parking which is needed to support the businesses, as well as offer options to residents.

We feel the City has not looked at these projects through the lens of existing residents and businesses, and is totally lacking a community outreach strategy which should have been facilitated by City staff in the formative stage of this project.

As many of you know, I spent 29 years working for the Santa Monica Police Department’s Community Affairs - Crime Prevention Unit. In my extensive experience in the area of crime prevention the addition of 130 units of housing, which includes 48 units of homeless supportive housing, into the hub of the City, three blocks apart and two blocks from Lincoln Middle School will further strain an already understaffed police force and make residents much less safe. We have 215 police officers (three in the police academy) out of the 232 currently budgeted positions. Chief Batista recently told the Northeast Neighbors that our department needs closer to 290 officers to keep up with anticipated demands.

The profound affect these projects will have on our neighborhood is not in the best interest of creating safe, cohesive and livable neighborhoods.

Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
HCHC's proposal for the Euclid/15th/16th sites would have profound negative effects if implemented in the neighborhood.

Why was there no public outreach prior to team selection? Notification came only to neighbors within a tight radius of the project and only after HCHC was already selected and the project was already designed.

Many of us were dismayed to learn this at the presentation meeting on May 22, where the project design was presented; our comments received defensive responses, not engagement.

Some of us have subsequently seen the Bridge Housing proposal, which scored a close second in the City's evaluation. For the Euclid site, Bridge included senior housing and replacement of some of the present public parking on the site, in a building design which set back from the two-story neighbors: It's a thoughtfully considered and sound solution -- why was it not selected? Would HCHC still rank first after $5.5m is added for replacement public parking?
Accommodation for formerly unhoused people with mental illness and substance addiction would destabilize the residential neighborhood. The nearby marijuana stores are an inappropriate adjacency.

The project is a safety concern for children walking to nearby Lincoln Middle School, as well as for all us nearby residents.

These three buildings are not on Wilshire Boulevard which was upzoned and the height limit raised; they are on residential streets adjacent to two-story apartment buildings. As such the massing of the proposed buildings is drastically out of scale with the surroundings. The proposed buildings are jarring and would permanently overshadow and violate the privacy of their neighbors.

I know I speak for many in urging Council to see to it that the diligence this project calls for is performed now, in an open process.

I am degusted with the plans for the above properties.

What are you thinking? This is the worst idea you have ever made. How do you expect any citizen of Santa Monica to approve of this lunacy?
There is no other place in the city that has this type housing. Who would put up and house chronically mentally ill people near a school, up ending the whole safety of the neighborhood.

Is it not enough that every time you walk in Santa Monica you are subject to running into many homeless mental ill people walking in the streets and threatening your quality of life and your physical threatening your life in general. This plan is out of scope for this neighborhood.

The Architects are confused, "they are sensitive to shade" , that is nice you considered the shade issue, but you can't put up a 6 story building in front of a 2 story building, you have SHADE not only shade but the canonization of the alley, there will never be any sun or breezes, just more darkness and homelessness.

Regarding lack of parking, you are removing more than 100 city metered parking spots. How dare you, again your planners "don't understand the parking needs" WHAT???? Have you asked anyone who parks in the open lot, what are you here and if you take away this parking where would you park, NO WHERE, there are not enough street meters, there are not enough preferential parking, you will ruin the whole neighborhood business and just plan piss off everyone trying to park their car. Will you be forcing people to pay $25.00++ in near by office buildings...NO....

Also, why would you put the mental institution in a residential neighborhood? Why would you not put the 1217 property backed up to the UCLA property and resources? Leverage resources with existing resources? Also the buildings are ugly and out of scope with what used to be limited high rises of no more than 4 stories. What happened to that rule?
Oh I forgot, screw the resident,...You are not providing the people any security, oh you will have someone on site, what does that do for the safety of the neighbors? NOTHING.

To conclude: SCREW YOU, HOW DARE YOU!

Dear City Of Santa Monica Council members,
In Regards to the Proposed Development Requires Urgent Revisions The City of Santa Monica, this initiative will affect our residents and businesses and must be executed responsibly. The developments at 1211-1217 14th St., 1217 Euclid St., and 1146 16th St. are the first and should set an example of collaborative, transparent, and successful
execution. Our Stand: We support affordable housing but cannot accept these development proposals without crucial modifications.

We need a stronger Community participation process led by City Staff, not an outside developer. Also further property destructions and disturbances wil occur in our neighborhood as result of more mentally ill individuals brought in to our community.

Here are the most Recent Personal experiences in the neighborhood of 1251 Euclid Street Santa monica,
Last week Monday , a Skitzofrenic homeless man with a large bag suddenly stopped outside the right side duplex #1247 EUclid street, started taking out all the yellow petals in front of the building garden throwing it on his head and inside his pants and the started screaming loudly and then proceeded to pee in the yard and making hand gestures toward the units inside the property.

Last Friday. a homeless person started throwing food and groceries on the street and toward the cars parked in the street. I was sitting inside my card outside and rapidly left so he would not throw food or glass bottles to my newly washed car.

Earlier last month, my mom was attacked by a homeless man walking in the alley behind our building when trying to put the trash bag inside the trash bin and gave my mom a black eye. She was lucky she was not hit in the head with an object.

Subject: Affordable housing projects along Wilshire blvd

EXTERNAL
I wish to register the concern of many in the neighborhood that the proposed development will have negative impacts on the area:

1. While it is commendable that the proposed project includes provisions for offering ancillary services to the low-income and formerly homeless tenants of the housing complex, we are strongly opposed to extending such services being extended to all Santa Monica homeless regardless of where they reside. Neither Hollywood Community Housing nor the People Concern have provided clear answers on this subject, and the suspicion is that they are deliberately obfuscating and refusing to reveal their true intentions. The City Council should use its leverage to force HCHC and TPC to make a clear and unequivocal commitment that provision of services will be limited to the tenants of the development. This is all the more important considering that the proposed developments are located just a couple of blocks from the Lincoln Middle School.

2. As it stands, the project involves the net removal of a considerable number of parking spaces in the area, which will have further negative impact on local businesses and residents. Already this section of Wilshire blvd is experiencing shuttered businesses, and any further adverse action should be avoided. The developers are resisting changes to the number of parkings, and the City Council should demand that due consideration be given to this issue.

Our Stand: We support affordable housing but cannot accept these development proposals without crucial modifications. We need a stronger Community participation process led by City Staff, not an outside developer.

Key Issues:
• Neighborhood Safety: Our neighborhood already suffers from massive public safety issues, and we can’t afford to agree to any new actions that will worsen it. Placing homeless supportive housing in the middle of a family-centric neighborhood and near Lincoln Middle School (1-2 blocks away) is unacceptable without a comprehensive safety plan and city guarantees to its residents. Project on 1217 Euclid is intended to be used for “Tri morbid individuals with co-occurring mental illness, substance addiction, and physical health issues” - The People Concern’s RFP response materials (3/19/24) • Parking Elimination: Public Parking space is crucial for businesses and residents along the Wilshire corridor.

• Key Issues on the top of our minds: ·
Neighborhood Safety: Our neighborhood already suffers from a massive public safety crisis, and we can’t afford to agree to any new actions that will worsen it. We are tired of living in fear! Using affordable housing commitment to place homeless supportive housing in the middle of a family-centric neighborhood and near Lincoln Middle School (1-2 blocks away) is unacceptable WITHOUT a reliable and sustainable safety plan and city guarantees to its residents. According to The People Concern’s RFP response materials (3/19/24), most of their clients are “Tri morbid individuals with co-occurring mental illness, substance addiction, and physical health issues”. The proposal lists mental health, drug, and alcohol treatment services available to the public. We know the risks very well and no longer accept them silently. · \
Parking Elimination: Public Parking space is crucial for businesses and residents along the Wilshire corridor. Public parking MUST be replaced! ·
Lack of Transparency: The city is pushing these developments through without proper community participation, with external developers driving the process. City staff must represent community members and neighborhoods. Stop outsourcing everything to developers and interested parties! ·
Developer Credibility: We have serious concerns about Hollywood Community Housing and The People Concern's credibility due to numerous ongoing lawsuits and failed past financial audits. ·
Insufficient Planning: The city staff has not communicated with or done their due diligence on the effects on the neighborhood. No current crime, traffic, or strain on the infrastructure has been assessed for two buildings of this massive size on the same block.

Best Regards, and thank you for your prompt attention.

Subject: 6/25/24 Agenda Item 1:Public Input -Proposed Development Needs Revisions

EXTERNAL
Mayor Brock, Mayor Pro Tem Negrete, and Council Members, As a longtime resident of Santa Monica, and of Mid-City, specifically Mid-Wilshire, I am in alliance with the very real concerns expressed by the other residents, businesses and neighborhood groups about the proposed housing developments at 1217 Euclid, 1211-1217 14th Street and 1146 16th Street, as the were presented to you at the March 19, 2024 City Council Meeting during the RFP process.

Projects with this much impact and scope need to have major considerations and studies done to the neighborhoods they will be directly affecting. They have not. Also, the city of Santa Monica has done little to no outreach to the existing community to present the scope and impact of these proposed projects.

As a homeowner and resident in in proposed housing developments I have serious concerns. The 6 story buildings will dwarf the existing residential dwellings, and erode the character of the neighborhood, and the safety issues created by building a 65 unit building for “Tri morbid individuals with co-occurring mental illness, substance addiction, and physical health issues” - The People Concern’s RFP response materials (3/19/24), directly in the route of children walking to and from Lincoln Middle School and PS1 has not been addressed.

Although it is not required, it would seem negligent and thoughtless, not to do a current crime, traffic or infrastructure strain study on the proposed projects.

I am not opposed to change but only ask that as a neighborhood community we are informed respectfully and are given a voice in the helping the process of change.

Thank You,
Theodore Catanzaro

Hello,
I’m writing to express my concerns regarding proposed housing developments at 1211-1217 14th St., 1217 Euclid St., and 1146 16th St.

I fear that the proposed developments will increase the safety issue for me and my family if there is not a thorough safety plan that accompanies the maintenance and operations of the affordable housing units.

Additionally, Santa Monica businesses have been on the decline - unable to sustain both increases in rent and crime. These housing developments will only make that worse.

Please consider the safety and concerns of Mid-Wilshire residents! -Crystal Nguyen

Petition: Safety & Trust: Residents Demand Transparent Process for Developments Name City State Postal Code Country Commented Date Comment Joyce Urode Santa Monica CA 90401 US 2024-06-06 "i’ve been assaulted by a homeless man and kicked in the street! i’m lucky to be alive.now im afraid to walk my dogs! santa monica is over developed! the streets are so crowded it takes an hour to get out of santa monica! we need to get a city council and city manager who care about the quality of life the residents in santa monica have! we need to feel safe to walk down our streets or drive our cars! niw homeless housing on round real estate . no common sense at all🤬 "
Mike Sill Santa Monica CA 90401 US 2024-06-06 "Santa Monica is no longer a safe community. The city council puts the needs of the few ahead of the majority and in doing so has created unsafe neighborhoods. It's not safe to walk the streets day or night." Santa Monica Neighbors Demand Stop to Irresponsible Development Santa Monica CA 90404 US 2024-06-06 "It is absolutely irresponsible to have services for homeless mental health and feeding programs in the middle of a dense residential neighborhood. Lincoln Junior High School, PS1 Pluralistic School One, and 310 Tutors are all blocks away from these services. There are also numerous senior assisted living throughout the area. Another vulnerable population of folks. Parents from Roosevelt Elementary School, Franklin Elementary School, and Lincoln Junior High School were not notified, that homeless services would be right next to Lincoln Junior High School! This makes no sense at all. There are other appropriate properties for this to be built on."

There should be at least 3 parking spaces per apt unit, plus 2 parking spaces per ground floor retail unit. Otherwise in 5 years Santa Monica will be a blighted and congested city." Michelle Bitting Pacific Palisades CA 90272 US 2024-06-10 "People should have a say in how their communities are impacted by rampant overbuilding.

A project of this nature doesn’t belong in the middle of a neighborhood. It requires lots of thoughtful consideration, including the neighborhood people. I do it believe that has properly happened as yet." Guy Cass Santa Monica CA 90404 US 2024-06-10 "The city is allowing too many large projects without sufficient parking and they are generating too much traffic. The parking and traffic studies use alternative transportations like bikes, trains, and Uber that are unrealistic.

The majority of people are driving. These traffic and parking studies are contrived in order get projects approved that otherwise would not be approved. I know this because I have worked on large projects involving EIR (Environmental Impact Reports) including traffic and parking studies for over a decade. The city council members are being hoodwinked by savvy developers proposing appealing incentives that are not worth the actual impacts to the city."

THE 14TH ST. & EUCLID OPEN LOTS HAVE SUPPORTED THE LOCAL COMMUNITY FOR DECAIDS, THEY ARE ALWAYS BUSY AND FULL. UCLA HOSPITAL IS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AS WELL AS LOCAL BUSINESS AND CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WHO PARK THERE FOR THE DAY, FAMILY, FRIENDS, YOU ARE DISTROYING (49) PARKING SPOTS @1217 EUCLID AND (49) PARKING SPOTS @1211 14THST. THE BULIDING WILL HAVE 65 HOUSES WITH ONLY 43 AVAILABLE PARKING AND 14TH ST. WILL HAVE AT LEAST EQUAL PARKING (45) HOUSES TO (43) PARKING. TOTAL OF (98) LOST PARKING SPOTS. WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE SUPPOSE TO GO? NO NOT ON THE E-BIKES, THERE IS ALREADY NO ROOM ON THE STREETS TO PARK NOW SHADE: HAVING LISTENED TO THE PRESENTATION. THE ARCHETECH MINIMIZED THE BUILDING SHADE ISSUE, WELL IF YOU PUT A 6 STORY BUILDING IN FRONT OF A 2 STORY AND 4 STORY DWELLING, FACEING WEST, YOU HAVE BUILT YET ANOTHER DARK CANYON OF BUILDINGS THAT ARE UGLY AND RESEMBLE CARGO CONTAINERS. ONCE THERE WAS LIGHT AND NOW THERE WILL BE DARKNESS BUILDING UTILIZATION AND COORDINATION WITH UCLA: SUGGESTION SWAP THE EUCLID PROPERTY WITH THE 14TH STREET PROPERTY. IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO HAVE THE EUCLID PROPERTY THAT NEEDS RESOURCES TO BE IN CLOSE PROXCINITY TO ULCA MEDICAL CENTER THAT HAS RESOURCES AND BOTH FACILITIES CAN LEVERAGE AND INTERGRATE RESOURCES. THE FOOT PRINT IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME SIZE, SO NO BIG DEAL TO SWAP PROJECTS. THE 14TH STREET PROPERTY WOULD FIT BETTER INTO THE EXISTING EUCLID NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE EUCLID PROPERTY WOULD BETTER INTERGRATE INTO THE UCLA CAMPUS RESOURCES AND LIASION TOGETHER. WITH THE SWITCH OF THE BUILDING THERE IS LESS EXISTING RESIDENT DISRUPTION. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW RESIDENTS ON 14TH STREET VS. EUCLID HAS AT LEAST 12 RESIDENTS AFFECTED. SECURITY: THE GROUND LEVEL SPACE IS NICE BUT I DON’T THINK YOU HAVE ADDRESSED THE NEED FOR SECURITY GATES, DON’T FORGET SANTA MONICA IS HOME OF THE HOMELESS.

Read the room! We all know the local crime statistics, and we know how often homeless populations are involved. it is borderline dereliction of duty on the city council’s part to even approve such a location (hoping that the voters won’t notice or correct the problem). The city council is supposed to be representing us, not whatever warped dogma rationalizes the logic of housing Santa Monica’s lowest functioning mentally ill antisocial delinquent adults near a school."
Audrey capin Santa Monica CA 90403 US 2024-06-19 "My experience with the City in addressing safety/traffic concerns with the onslaught of development fell on deaf ears. I was told by the city planner assigned to 2025 Wilshire the only way to “halt” a project was through the “Mobility Department” which I did because our alley, with multiple blind corners, is ALREADY a safety hazard to us residence without the additional 210 vehicles (passenger & commercial) that will be solely funneled through the alley. Sent photos/video to support the safety/congestion concerns and heard NOTHING back, not even a generic form acknowledging receipt. The City was also made aware that residents were not fairly notified of required meeting from developer (their notifications were sent in plain white envelopes, no company name or return address . . . looked like junk mail. I almost became a victim of this tactic not only when the plan was for a 4-story building but then again when they doubled down adding an additional 4-stories). Political donations are public records. In 2020 a BOATLOAD of money was donated to City Council candidates from the likes of Cypress Equity Investments (13+ projects in Santa Monica alone), owner of the project on Lincoln/Broadway (where Vons was) in addition to engineering firms, law firms specializing in land/commercial development/mix use, architects, building mgmt. organizations, contractors and so on."

EXTERNAL
Mayor Brock, Mayor Pro Tem Negrete, and Council Members:

As a life long resident of Santa Monica, and in-act, a life long resident of Mid-City, specifically Mid-Wilshire, I am in alliance with the the concerns expressed by the other residents, businesses and neighborhood groups about the proposed housing developments at 1217 Euclid, 1211-1217 14th Street and 1146 16th Street, as the were presented to you at the March 19, 2024 City Council Meeting during the RFP process.

My mother moved to Santa Monica 62 years ago, as a single mother, as it was a safe, affordable place, with outstanding public schools, to raise her two daughters. I have lived in Mid-City, in a 4 block radius, for the majority of that time, and understand, first-hand, the need for affordable housing, and appreciate the challenges that are being faced by the California State Mandate. My grown children, who work in Santa Monica, painfully understand the challenges all-towell. The nproposed projects, as currently planned, will have a negative impact on the safety, character, accessibility and livability of our neighborhood for residents, businesses and consumers.

Our neighborhood is already a densely multi-use area, supporting hospitals, businesses, public and private elementary and middle schools and SMC Broad and classes, single family houses, condos and majority apartments. The project, as proposed, exacerbate the existing parking and traffic issues for residents, visitors, hospital patients and businesses.

The 6 story buildings will dwarf the existing residential dwellings, and erode the character of the neighborhood, and the safety issues created by building a 65 unit building for “Tri morbid individuals with co-occurring mental illness, substance addiction, and physical health issues” - The People Concern’s RFP response materials (3/19/24), directly in the route of children walking to and from Lincoln Middle School and PS1 has not been addressed.

Please allow our voices to be heard in a meaningful way during the process of changing our neighborhood.

Subject: Agenda Item 1:Public Input 6/25- Proposed Development Needs Urgent Revisions Dear Mayor Brock and City Council,
I am writing to express my concerns regarding the proposed development at 1217 Euclid Street. While I support the creation of affordable housing, I have significant reservations about the current proposal from Hollywood Community Housing Corporation, which plans to place 40 supportive housing units for formerly homeless individuals in the heart of a family-centric neighborhood and near Lincoln Middle School. I believe that senior affordable housing would be a more suitable option for this location.

Lack of Transparency:

The process by which this proposal was selected appears to lack sufficient community involvement. It seems that external developers, city staff, and consultants have driven the process without adequately representing the interests of local residents. Community members should have been engaged from the outset and presented with multiple proposals to ensure that the chosen development aligns with the neighborhood's character and needs. The current proposal does not meet these criteria, particularly in terms of setbacks, scale, and the lack of public parking, which were stipulated in the RFP but not addressed in the winning proposal.

I urge the council to reconsider Hollywood Community Housing as the developer for this site and to involve the neighborhood more thoroughly in the planning process from the beginning. This will ensure that any development is both appropriate for the surrounding area and meets the city's affordable housing goals.

Thank you for your attention to these matters.

Sincerely,
Michael

The city council should be ashamed of how they have been dealing with all the issues plaguing the city!! Homeless, drugs and filthy streets are rampant everywhere.

By your lack of solutions to these ongoing issues you are effecting lots of businesses and property owners.

Property values have dropped significantly and rents are at an all time low in the downtown area.

Commercial vacancy rates are so high in the area, that owners are struggling to pay their mortgage.

Real estate brokers are being affected too because they can’t make deals in the CBD.

Companies don’t want to sign leases with all of these perceived risk.

Which by the way they aren’t perceived risk to their employees they are real.

Santa Monica has lost its charm and has been in a downward trend for years.

You need to fix the homeless problem increase police presence 24/7 and clean the streets, alleys and parking structures twice a day if necessary which it is!!! Get your act together now or else you won’t be able to in the future. ---

Subject: Attract Future Athletes to Santa Monica

EXTERNAL
Hello!
As a decade-long resident of Santa Monica who stepped on a drug needle at the local beach and experienced break-ins to both mine and my neighbors' homes, the decline of our city is real. My daughter's school paused community walks to Tongva Park because of these, "safe" access drug programs that made our parks unsafe, to add perspective.

Instead of welcoming addicts and criminals to commit nuisances with free drugs, why not spend our taxes on positive forces for change, like welcoming athletes.

Santa Monica used to be world renowned by surfers, for example. Why not do more to attract surfing? It might even cost less money to strategically place rocks in the bay, like Breakwater in Venice has (to improve the waves), than it does to pay for waste-of-lifes to get high.

It is shocking how moral fiber has been eroded so far in Santa Monica that this email must be written. Please help. This is your duty,
-

Subject: City of Santa Monica Regular Meeting Tuesday June 25, 2024 1. Public Input

EXTERNAL
I came to Santa Monica as a first grader 55 years ago, had jobs on the Santa Monica Pier and in the original Santa Monica Place. I’ve lived on 14th St almost 30 years, running a Santa Monica based small business and shepherding two kids through SMMUSD schools. I’ve watched our city change a lot, with interest, excitement and sometimes distress.

With regard to the proposed developments at 1217 Euclid St and 1211-1217 14th St, I appreciate the city’s planning toward the needs of lower income residents, and people in need of housing and mental health support. But I ask with my whole heart that such planning be balanced with the needs of the current renters, owners and businesses in this neighborhood around Wilshire and Euclid/14th St. The population is already dense, the alleys are narrow, and permit-only street parking is limited. Six story buildings will be taller than the surrounding buildings, and about 100 public parking spaces will be replaced by less than one space per proposed new apartment.

When I walk my dogs or push my grandchild in a stroller down Wilshire, where I pushed my kids in strollers, I see so many empty storefronts. Will restaurants and stores ever fill them if there is no public parking? Will the current businesses survive the removal of both the Euclid and 14th St public lots when their customers have to compete with residents for insufficient parking? If not, what then? More unhoused people in more doorways?
And will the current residents and customers be safe from traffic problems and chronically mentally ill clients queuing up for services? Will a garbage or moving truck stop traffic for an entire block? Will sewage and water infrastructure be sufficient? Can we trust Hollywood Community Housing and The People Concern? City Staff must represent community members and neighborhoods in the asking and answering of these questions! I ask for due diligence assessing the crime, traffic and infrastructure strain of two massive developments so close together.

Thank you,
Natalie Rothenberg

Subject: Item 1 (Public Comment) / Seize 302 Colorado through Eminent Domain Attachments: LA Artist Series 723.pdf

EXTERNAL
Dear City Council,
I would like to propose that the city council consider coordinating with the county and state to consider seizing the property at 302 Colorado Ave through eminent domain for a Los Angeles Artist Series.

I’ve made multiple attempts to acquire the property which have been largely ignored while they attempt to engage anyone else and continue to discriminate by not giving me access to the building, even though I am shareholder as well as a licensed real estate estate agent with an NMLS license.

They have left the building unoccupied for close to a decade. Including being half finished for the last 4 years.

Seritage has operated without any real estate licenses in California They have misrepresented the property to the press as being ready as a mall while the building was never close to being finished as represented.

They have rented the half finished space to a museum founded by a convicted child sex offender.

This company has a very shady history since its founding as the Sears real estate portfolio. ------------------------
The benefits of a Los Angeles Artist Series have already been cited to the city council but some of them are:

A state of the art entertainment complex with a full sound stage and multiple art galleries A full slate of artistic programming including bi annual art weeks, fashion weeks and music weeks as well as a film festival.
5 event space including over 60,000 sq ft available for events, conferences and concerts.

Ongoing worldwide publicity for the Santa Monica area and increase in tourism, hotel bookings and restaurants.

There are so many more benefits but I do believe the idea of seizing the property through eminent domain for a L. A. Artist Series would help not only Santa Monica but Los Angeles and California..

The company would of course pay for the costs of the acquisition of the property.

EXTERNAL
To SM City Council and Planning,
I am born and raised in Santa Monica and my family has owned apartment buildings since before I was born. I have seen Santa Monica change for the better and the worse many times over. And now it's for the worst! I am beyond disappointed there was no information given to residents within a 2 to 4 block radius of any project happening in our neighborhoods. The signage that is posted in the middle of the parking lots is not adequate notification and within days of it being in the middle of the parking lots, it was gone! All other projects in Santa Monica have big posted signage in the front of any project. Not this one! This is not acceptable when it's going to alter and affect ALL of us in the surrounding neighborhood!
Let's bring up the already horrible traffic! PEOPLE NEED THEIR CARS!!!!!!! And doesn't matter what you think, people are not going to stop driving their cars. Santa Monica is full of seniors who are NOT able to bike or walk to do their errands, whether they are driving or some one is driving them, they need a car/someone to drive them! Public Transportation is not SAFE, daily there are assaults, stabbings, overdoses and other mayhem on the buses and trains.

So let's talk about the failed bike lanes! People are still riding on the sidewalks! I encounter this daily and tell them there is a bike lane for you! They don't feel safe riding in the bike lane so the last thing we need are more bike lanes! So now as I walk on the sidewalks, I have to move out of the way so I'm not hit by a bicycle or the COCO delivery boxes on wheels.

Parking and speeding in our residential neighborhood! We have ALL the car dealerships from Santa Monica Blvd speeding through the residential areas daily! Not only do car dealerships not have to provide parking for the hundreds of employees but they take the non residential parking - and follow the street cleaner to get a spot on street cleaning days but MANY of them have disabled placards and even RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING! Also, the customers park on our permitted street parking and take the risk of getting a ticket which most of the time doesn't happen. Its already is a nightmare for people speeding in our neighbors and parking is bad and now you want to add 130 more units in a 3 block radius with less parking spots than units plus the employees of these buildings! Let's also mention these employees have lunch in their car and dump their trash on the street/side of car in our residential neighborhoods.

You are taking away 3 parking lots that are used for the businesses on Wilshire, the hospital (parking is $3 plus dollars per 15 minutes) and overflow of visitors for the surrounding apartments/condos, and the church parishioners on 14th and Arizona. And not offering alternative parking for the area. There is not enough parking on Wilshire to accommodate the neighborhood. And these projects have less parking spots than units and aren't taking into consideration visitors to those residents.

The buildings being proposed are UGLY! They do not fit in the charm of Santa Monica and to have 3 new buildings that will be 5 and 6 stories high is ridiculous! Why don't you turn offices and empty buildings available for lease to housing? Why are you building all these high end buildings near Lincoln with only 10% affordable housing? Why don't they have to accommodate more affordable housing? Or make some of these already built buildings all affordable housing? HCHC mentioned a food distribution program, which ABSOLUTELY NOT!! We had a church on 14th street that did food distribution and a woman in the neighborhood was raped because of the elements that showed up for free food! We already have homeless/crazy people roaming and screaming everywhere and nothing being done about it. My 82 year mother was assaulted by a homeless man, had beer thrown in her face and kicked into the street in front of a moving car on the corner of 20th and Arizona in BROAD daylight waiting to be picked up from a doctors appointment and now you think we want transitional housing in our neighborhood? NO WAY! It's already not safe for women and elderly to walk around Santa Monica. My neighbor was knocked out in BROAD daylight on 12th and Arizona in March, she had 2 black Item 1

She called the police and NO report was taken, they said they can't prove something happened to her! This is unacceptable! Residents ARE NOT and DO NOT feel safe in Santa Monica! So the last thing us long timer residents and business owners want are these projects next to our businesses and where we live! There are statistics showing violent crimes increase near these housing projects.

Safety is an HUGE issue here in Santa Monica. We are giving needles to addicts in the park, this doesn't help people! The resident's of SM do not want this program! There are so many drug addicts and mentally ill people in Santa Monica with more coming and there's nothing to help them! Putting them in housing is not going to help! They need mental health facilities (not in residential neighborhoods), programs and professionals and to get OFF drugs! You work for the people of Santa Monica and we feel unheard and unseen for how we want and see the future of our city that we love, live in and have businesses in. We want to be heard about what happens to our city! You don't build community by not involving the community.

Thank you,
Kelli Urode

The city is broke! We are told the council must choose between paving our alleys or hiring more police, as crime, addiction, disorder, and mental illness has become our new brand. (Just in the last couple weeks, tourists have been stabbed, robbed, or had their windshield shattered as they entered the city— welcome!).

This immigrant, whose dream was to graduate from a pushcart to a store in SM, in six months has been robbed twice on the 3rd street promenade. Watch the heartbreaking video and hear him talk about how the police were called and there was a two-hour response. I had a similar experience last week, Item 1

She called 911, texted me, and I rushed over. A drone was dispatched immediately, but it took half an hour for cops to arrive because they were swamped with other calls. I cleared the nooks and crannies of the building myself, clutching pepper spray.

This is just another day living near downtown, but indicative of a police force struggling to keep up with demand. Well, good news, I’ve found some money! Companies and institutions are disassembling their DEI programs across the country because they don’t work, actually create racial animus, and are immune to metrics. We should eliminate our program instituted in the feverish year of 2020, when we wanted to prove we were all down with the cause—Santa Monica, so good a solving problems we don’t have!—and, of course, petrified at being called racist.

For those of you clutching your pearls at the thought of dismantling DEI, I refer you to the always entertaining and brilliant Scott Galloway as he smartly dismantles DEI in 5 minutes. Watch it! A lifelong Democrat, he makes the case that class, not race, is the only way to approach the staggering inequality in our society. (Indeed, race relations have gotten worse since 2014 because, um, surprise… the more you focus on race, the more it becomes all you see. And in an ironic twist proving the point, our black former head of HR is suing the city for racism after being fired. I know nothing about the merits of her case, but I can’t believe she suffered racial discrimination by our City Manager David White, who would be the only person who had the power to do it.

But I digress… Let’s get serious about line-by-lining Santa Monica's bloated budget, larded with overpaid staff. And let's start with this million bucks:

For Fiscal Year 23/24, the total budget for the DEI team is $1,017,989. Of this amount, $642,989 is for salaries and benefits. There are three individuals assigned to this work. The rest of the budget for the DEI Team is allocated to a Language Access Program($100,000), the Inspector General for the Public Safety Reform Oversight Committee (PSROC) ($250,000), and programming resources for the DEI team ($50,000). The Inspector General is required pursuant to the City’s Municipal Code and is what was implemented prior to the current city manager joining the City in January 2021.

Well, guess what? The City Council can change the municipal code. It is done by ordinance and whatever change they make takes 30 days after the second reading to become law. I propose the council change it in the meeting on June 22nd and immediately assign the million dollars to hire 4 more sworn police officers. Show us that you are serious people who understand what’s at stake. Because the Santa Monica mall just went broke, not helped by the fact that that strip of Broadway is a zombie apocalypse from Lincoln to ocean (Century City mall? Just fine). While you’re at it, cut PSROC which costs a fortune and wastes hundreds of man hours of our overtaxed police.

And for those of you too afraid, or too tribal, or just too timid to make these decisions, here's some backup and the money quote from Nicholas Kristof's article in the New York Times called What Have Liberals Done to the West Coast? "Politics always is part theater, but out West too often we settle for being performative rather than substantive.” Unfortunately, a picture of Santa Monica appears in the dictionary when you look up the word performative. But, as I always say, centrists now have cover because the call is coming from inside the house from lifelong Democrats like myself, and even liberal of liberals, Nicholas Kristof.

So, in addition to cutting this worthless program, immediately hire a NEW independent auditor to investigate every city department and cut the fat, grift, and virtue-signaling boondoggles (in both staff salaries, and expenditures).

Stop hauling performative sand to the beach and start finding the money to solve the problems we do have. We need 300 cops; we’re at 230. Unless you enjoy news reports of businesses being driven from the city, act now.

Agenda Item: 5.A
1 of 5
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Matthew Hallock, Fire Chief, Fire Department
Subject: Award of Bid to L.N. Curtis & Sons and Allstar Fire Equipment, Inc. for Purchase of Fire Equipment
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Award Bid #4483 to vendors L.N. Curtis & Sons and Allstar Fire Equipment, Inc. for the purchase of fire hoses, tools, and other fire equipment;

4. Adopt a finding of no possibility of significant effect pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

Summary
In 2023 the Santa Monica Fire Department responded to over 17,545 calls. Calls for service include fire, medical, hazardous materials, search and rescue operations, homelessness, other emergencies, and non-emergency good intent calls. The department also responds to mutual aid events, such as when there is an emergency in a neighboring jurisdiction which overwhelms their front-line responses or when the city responds with a specialty strike team on a statewide wildland response. The volume and range of responses require the department to outfit its fire apparatus with hoses, tools, and other equipment for emergency response. Following a formal bid process,

two vendors, L.N. Curtis & Sons and Allstar Fire Equipment, Inc. are recommended as the best bidders to provide and deliver tools and equipment. For each vendor, staff recommends the first year of expenditures for vendor will be $150,000, with four oneyear renewal options of up to $150,000 each year, for a total amount not to exceed $750,000.

Discussion
The Santa Monica Fire Department maintains a fleet of twelve fire engines, three trucks, and other vehicles at its five stations and training facility that must be properly outfitted to respond to emergencies. In support of this effort, staff purchases a variety of tools and equipment to ensure the department’s first responders are prepared to provide a response to a variety of emergencies. Tools and equipment include items such as fire hoses, jaws-of-life rescue tools, hand tools, ladders, chainsaws, rescue harnesses, ropes and webbing, search cameras, and hazardous materials field-testing kits.

Personal protective equipment includes items such as helmets, brush coats, gloves, goggles, and masks.

In 2019, the City awarded purchase orders to L.N. Curtis and Municipal Emergency Services for fire hoses, tools, and various pieces of fire equipment. Those purchase orders expired in April 2024 and the department put out a new bid for fire hoses, tools, and other fire equipment.

Best Bidder Justification
Bid 4483 provided vendors with the opportunity to bid on 1,136 items on OpenGov.

L.N. Curtis and Allstar Fire Equipment were the only vendors to respond and entered prices on between 33% and 41% of the total requested items. Therefore, the department selects both vendors as responsive bidders. City will purchase items from the vendor with the lowest price and availability. For items not available from either vendor, they will be purchased from the cooperative agreement.

Because the Fire Department is awarded various grants and the annual amounts vary based on award, staff recommends that the purchase orders contain enough purchasing authority so that as the department receives the grant funds, it can continue purchasing equipment through these two vendors without delay. Grants have specified performance periods in which the funds must be spent and reported to receive reimbursement.

Although the department recommends the selection of L.N. Curtis and Allstar Fire Equipment, there were over three hundred items that received no bid from either vendor. For these items, staff will seek cooperative purchasing agreements subject to those agreements meeting the City’s procurement guidelines. Because cooperative agreements have been solicited, evaluated, and awarded by another jurisdiction with higher volume, the items purchased with these agreements are often at a lower price.

Utilizing a cooperative agreement for no bid items would enable the Fire Department to purchase items without any delays in service or response. The anticipated spend amounts with cooperative agreements will be within the City Manager’s authority, however if the spend amount approaches such authority, staff will return to Council for approval for the remainder of the term.

Environmental Review
The purchase orders for L.N. Curtis and Allstar Fire Equipment for fire tools and equipment are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines. The contract is covered by the commonsense exemption which states that CEQA does not apply, “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The purchase orders would provide the SMFD with fire tools and various equipment. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the purchase orders would not result in adverse physical impacts on the environment, and as such, is exempt from CEQA.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
Staff seeks authority to approve funding from the General Fund and Miscellaneous Grants Fund to award purchase orders with L.N. Curtis & Sons and Allstar Fire Equipment, Inc. for the purchase of various tools and equipment for emergency response.

1 of 7
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Water Resources Subject: Award Request for Proposal to Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to Provide Professional Services for the Development of One Water Master Plan Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Award RFP #401 to Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., to provide professional services for the development of a One Water Master Plan for the Public Works Department;

3. Adopt a finding of no possibility of significant effects pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act; and

4. Authorize budget amendments as outlined in the Financial Impacts & Budget Actions section of this report (requires 5 votes).

Summary
The Water Resources Division of the Public Works Department operates and maintains drinking water, wastewater collection, and recycled water services to residents, commercial, and institutional customers throughout the City. The City currently services over 18,000 metered customers with a current average annual water demand of approximately 11,600 acre-feet per year (AFY). Since the 2018 update to the Sustainable Water Master Plan (SWMP), the City has made great progress towards reducing its reliance on imported water supplies and increasing local water supplies to approximately 85%. The 99% water self-sufficiency goal established in the 2018 SWMP was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in water resiliency projects being cancelled and insufficient resources to advance the City’s water

conservation program. Staff is proposing to update the 2018 SWMP with a comprehensive One Water Master Plan to develop water supply alternatives and assess the feasibility of achieving 99% water self-sufficiency. Staff recommends that RFP #401 be awarded to Stantec Consulting Services Inc. and that an agreement be negotiated and executed to prepare the One Water Master Plan.

Discussion
In 2011, the Council provided direction to seek pathways towards becoming water selfsufficient utilizing local water resources. This resulted in the first iteration of the Sustainable Water Master Plan produced in 2014 and updated in 2018. In 2018, staff refined the pathway to achieve water self-sufficiency (sourcing nearly 99% of the City’s water supply through local resources) by 2023 through a combination of demand reduction, water conservation and efficiency programs, and the addition of local water supplies. The major benefits of the City’s goal to achieve water self-sufficiency includes:
• Long-term cost benefits to ratepayers by maximizing local water resources. • Provide a more sustainable and drought-resilient water supply through a diversified water supply portfolio.
• Reduce the City’s water supply energy footprint through conservation and locally sourced water supplies.

The 2018 SWMP included the following key components to achieve water selfsufficiency:
• Component 1 – Continue and increase water conservation efforts to permanently reduce water demand.
• Component 2 – Develop sustainable and drought resilient alternative water supplies.
• Component 3 – Expand local groundwater production within sustainable yield limits.

5.B
Packet Pg. 93
3 of 7
After Council adoption, staff began implementing various projects from the 2018 SWMP.

Great progress has been made to reduce the City’s reliance on imported water supplies including completion of key projects such as the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project and near completion of the Olympic Well Field Restoration Project and Arcadia Water Treatment Plant Expansion Project (completion scheduled for late summer 2024). Staff estimates that approximately 85% of the City’s water supply would be sourced locally by the end of 2024. The 99% water self-sufficiency goal established in the 2018 SWMP was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in cancelled water resiliency projects and insufficient resources to advance the City’s water conservation program. Water resiliency projects such as the addition of new groundwater production and recharge wells, and the expansion of the City’s recycled water distribution network were cancelled and impacted the City’s water self-sufficiency goal by over 10%. Additionally, citywide restructuring during the pandemic resulted in reducing the City’s water conservation team from 4 full time employees (FTE) to 2 FTE.

Due to limited resources, only existing conservation measures were maintained, and additional water conservation programs identified in the 2018 SWMP were not progressed. Advancing the City’s water conservation program alone accounted for roughly 5% of the 2018 water self-sufficiency goal.

As water self-sufficiency is a key element of the Sustainable City Plan and Climate Action and Adaptation Plan, staff is updating the 2018 SWMP in the post pandemic era with a comprehensive One Water Master Plan. The One Water Master Plan will synthesize information from recently completed master planning efforts (2022 Groundwater Sustainability Plan, 2023 Domestic Water and Sewer Master Plan, 2023 Recycled Water Master Plan, and 2024 Water Conservation Master Plan), consider recent regulatory advancements in protection of drinking water supplies and expand opportunities for potable reuse, develop a gap analysis from the 2018 SWMP water selfsufficiency goals, identify future supply alternatives from local and regional opportunities, assess the feasibility of achieving water self-sufficiency, and develop recommended alternatives for implementation.

5.B
Packet Pg. 94

The One Water Master Plan will also consider two major developments in the City since the 2018 SWMP was adopted. First, the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation required the City to plan for 13,000 additional housing units with a goal to achieve approximately 9,000 new housing units over the next 8 years. The City adopted the 6 th Cycle Housing Element
(2021 to 2029) that included a suitable site inventory that identified hundreds of sites with high potential for becoming future housing sites. These new housing units, once completed, may likely increase potable water demand by approximately 1,400 AFY as the majority of the development will be affordable housing. Under the City’s Water Neutrality Ordinance, affordable housing projects are only required to meet water offset requirements for increased water demand at the property at a ratio of 0.5 to 1. Second, the Santa Monica Airport and Airport Business Park are anticipated to be redeveloped into a large park by 2030. Potential increased potable and recycled water demands for both the airport and airport business park are not known at this time but is anticipated to increase from its current use to support redevelopment into a park.

On February 5, 2024 a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued for Professional Engineering Services for the 2024 One Water Master Plan. 58 vendors downloaded the RFP and 11 proposals were received. Stantec Consulting Services Inc. was chosen as the best qualified firm for these services.

Justification to Award
The proposals were reviewed by a selection panel consisting of staff from the Public Works Department – Water Resources and Engineering Services Divisions. The proposal evaluations were based on project understanding/workplan (demonstrated knowledge of inter-workings of the City’s water/wastewater infrastructure and recent, relevant experience in obtaining Federal grants to advance local water supply projects), previous experience (having delivered similar efforts for nearby cities and water districts), ability to deliver, quality of product, cost, and compliance with City requirements. Based on the evaluation criteria and criteria in SMMC 2.24.190, staff recommends Stantec as the best qualified firm to prepare the One Water Master Plan based on their extensive and prior experience in developing similar master plans for other California municipalities and agencies including the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, City of Los Angeles, City of San Diego, and Moulton Niguel Water District.

Preparation of the One Water Master Plan is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The plan is covered by the Common Sense Exemption which states that CEQA does not apply, “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The intent of the One Water Master Plan is to identify, develop, and evaluate the feasibility of achieving water self-sufficiency for the City.

Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the transfer of implementation for the CCW application process would not result in adverse physical impacts on the environment, and as such, is exempt from CEQA.

1 of 4
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Resource Recovery & Recycling
Subject: Approval of Modification to Purchase Order with Los Angeles Truck Centers, LLC to Furnish and Deliver Side Loader Trucks
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

2. Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines.

Summary
With the expansion of the green organics recycling program due to SB 1383 and the need to increase the spare vehicle ratio to a recommended industry standard of 15%, the purchase of three additional side loader vehicles is recommended by the Resource Recovery and Recycling (RRR) Division in the Public Works Department. SB 1383 requires mandatory organics recycling to divert organic materials away from landfills, in an effort to reduce short-lived climate pollutants, such as methane. These vehicles will be used to cover the necessary addition of organics collection routes, and also as spare vehicles when other units are sent to Fleet Services for service or inspection. Staff recommends a modification to the purchase order with Los Angeles Truck Centers, LLC for the purchase of three additional side loader collection trucks, for a total of 15 side loaders. Funding for these vehicles was approved by Council as part of the FY 2023-24

mid-year budget and are essential in supporting the Council’s priority of a Clean and Safe Santa Monica.

Discussion
The Fleet Management Division is responsible for ensuring the City’s diverse fleet of over 700 vehicles are available, dependable, meet the highest environmental standards for a sustainable fleet, and are safe to operate from acquisition through disposal. The Division routinely replaces vehicles that have reached the end of their cost-effective useful lives through the Vehicle Replacement Fund.

On April 25, 2023, Council authorized the Procurement Manager to issue purchase orders with Los Angeles Truck Centers, LLC, as an exception to competitive bid process, under Santa Monica Municipal Code Section 2.24.250 (c): “Competitive procedures were followed by a governmental agency, federal, state, county, city, joint powers agency, special district, or cooperative purchasing agency and the goods or services are supplied to the City at the same or better price,” for the purchase of twelve side loader trucks, along with other RRR collection vehicles due for replacement, that had reached the end of their cost-effective useful life. These vehicles carry out the dayto-day collection of recyclable, organics, and landfill trash materials that directly support the City’s priority of a Clean and Safe Santa Monica.

On June 9, 2020, Sourcewell issued an RFP for Class 4-8 Chassis with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services. Under the terms of the RFP, and the resulting Sourcewell Agreement with Los Angeles Truck Center, a distributor of Crane Carrier equipment, similar nationally leveraged purchasing discounts are also available to other government agencies. The chassis is offered at an additional 20% reduced rate through preferred customer discount pricing. Sourcewell Agreement #060920-CRN was established on August 7, 2020, expires August 1, 2024, and has one, one-year renewal option.

Due to the adoption of SB 1383, it is necessary to reorganize and add additional organics routes, which require additional side loader collection trucks. Further, RRR requires additional side loaders to meet the industry standard of a 15% spare ratio.

Without the spare vehicles, primarily residential routes can go uncollected if that route’s

5.C

vehicle is out of commission for service, which would result in increased calls to the 311 system for missed collections.

Environmental Review
The purchase orders for replacement vehicles are Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Section 15302 exempts Class 2 projects which “consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced”. The replacement vehicles would replace existing City fleet vehicles, with essentially the same purpose and capacity.

Therefore, the purchase orders for replacement vehicles are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15302 of the CEQA Guidelines.

Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines.

2. Authorize the Procurement Manager to issue a purchase order with National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of forty-one Ford sedans, sports utility vehicles, vans, and trucks for the Police, Fire, Public Works, and Library Departments. This recommended award is made as an exception to the competitive bidding process pursuant to Section 2.24.250 (c) and is for a total amount not to exceed $3,181,078.

3. Authorize the Procurement Manager to issue a purchase order with Los Angeles Truck Centers for the purchase of twelve side loader trucks, one rear loader and three front loader trucks for the Public Works Department. This recommended award is made as an exception to the competitive bidding process pursuant to Section 2.24.250 (c) and is for a total amount not to exceed $7,837,992.

Summary
Various City of Santa Monica departments and divisions provide essential services that maintain clean and safe neighborhoods and open spaces for Santa Monica’s residents, visitors, and City staff. These operations rely on vehicles and equipment managed and maintained by the City’s Fleet Management Division. Many of these vehicles are aging past their cost-effective useful lives. To ensure reliable operations, provide uninterrupted service to the community, and reduce downtime and

5.C.a
Packet Pg. 109 Attachment: Staff Report 4-25-2023 (6403 : Purchase Order Modification with Los Angeles Truck Centers) 2 of 8
maintenance costs, staff recommends purchasing fifty-seven vehicles and equipment based on competitive contract pricing available to government agencies.

Discussion
The Fleet Management Division is responsible for ensuring the City’s diverse fleet of over 700 vehicles are available, dependable, meet the highest environmental standards for a sustainable fleet, and are safe to operate from acquisition through disposal. The division routinely replaces vehicles that have reached the end of their cost-effective useful lives through the Vehicle Replacement Fund.

In response to the budgetary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, contributions to the Vehicle Replacement Fund were suspended for the General and Beach Funds, and vehicle replacements were temporarily suspended unless they were necessary for public safety or for the operation of essential City services. The Fleet Management Division has worked together with various City divisions to extend the useful lives of their vehicles as much as possible.

Fifty-seven vehicles have been identified for replacement. These vehicles are vital to essential operations but have reached or exceeded their cost-effective useful life, incurring maintenance costs of approximately 50% of the original purchase cost over the last two years. Due to their age and use, these vehicles require significant ongoing maintenance and repair costs to remain reliable, safe, and operational.

Staff is recommending the purchase of fifty-seven vehicles and equipment for a total amount not to exceed $11,019,070, of which $2,428,023 is from the General Fund, including a 10% or 30% contingency as itemized in Table 1. A detailed list of each vehicle is included to provide additional context. (Attachment A). Funding for the replacement of these vehicles is available and was collected over each asset’s useful life.

Due to high demand and limited vehicle availability, the Ford vehicles may not be readily available to the City. This may create a significant escalation in vehicle cost

5.C.a
Packet Pg. 110 Attachment: Staff Report 4-25-2023 (6403 : Purchase Order Modification with Los Angeles Truck Centers) 3 of 8
and, as a result, the purchase order for the Ford vehicles would include a higher contingency amount. However, purchasing in higher numbers would put the City in a more competitive position when the manufacturer begins to accept orders for the year and would ensure the timeline for replacement is not extended any further past the cost-effective useful life of the vehicles. Given the long lead times for these vehicles, and an average delivery time of up to two years, it is essential to be proactive and start the process for replacement. These essential vehicles are key to public safety, maintaining our open spaces, and supporting the City Council’s priority of a Clean and Safe Santa Monica.

Subject: Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Allan D. Kotin & Associates for Real Estate Advisory Services

Staff recommends that the City Council:

Summary
The City has an extensive real estate portfolio with prominent assets such as the Santa Monica Pier, Civic Auditorium, and Bergamot Station Arts Center, as well as other commercial properties. As a best practice, the City retains advisory services specializing in economic and real estate analyses to inform and assist the City with valuations and negotiations. Allan D. Kotin & Associates (Consultant) was retained by the City with Council approval for such services through a 2011 Request for Qualifications (RFQ).

The City uses Consultant services to evaluate the feasibility and business terms associated with leases and licenses of several City-owned properties. To ensure continuity with existing negotiations, staff recommends extending the Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with Consultant for two additional years.

5.D
Packet Pg. 120
2 of 4
Discussion
For complex projects, the City, through its Economic Development Division, engages highly specialized real estate advisory services. The City contracted with the Consultant following a 2011 RFQ process and Council direction on January 24, 2012. The Consultant was selected based on its qualifications and extensive financial and development advisory experience consulting for public agencies throughout the state.

Due to the complexity and duration of significant real estate transactions which can take several years to evaluate and negotiate, Consultant’s Agreement has been modified to extend its original term and increase its original budget as summarized in the Past Council Actions table below. On-going and complex lease negotiations, such as the City and Rooftop Cinema Club negotiations for City-owned Parking Structure 6, have been conducted with the support of the Consultant. To ensure continuity with these on-going, complex negotiations for which Consultant has the background and knowledge as City has previously retained Consultant for these negotiations, staff recommends extending the term by two additional years resulting in a 14-year modified agreement with no increase to the current authorized amount of $340,000. Future year funding would be contingent on Council budget approval.

The proposed modification would also permit the City to retain the Consultant to provide the City with economic analyses necessary for lease negotiations concerning, for example, proposed assignments, subleases, and other proposed real estate transactions provided that the lessee, proposed transferee, or other third party that is proposing the real transaction agrees to pay the Consultant upfront for the cost of these additional Consultant services. City leases require that lessees pay for the costs to review proposed transfers, including consultant and attorney fees. This would allow the City to retain Consultant for such proposed real estate transactions without using City funds.

06/27/2017 Council authorized a third modification to increase Agreement authority by $100,000 for a total amount not to exceed $300,000 11/12/2019 Council authorized a fourth modification to extend the term by three one-year options and to increase Agreement authority by $40,000 for a total amount not to exceed $340,000.
10/25/2022 Council authorized a fifth modification to extend the term by one year to December 31, 2023.

Environmental Review
The Agreement is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, which states that CEQA does not apply “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The Agreement would provide real estate economic and financial advisory services and would not result in adverse physical impacts on the environment, and as such, is exempt from CEQA.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action warranted as a result of the recommended actions to extend the Agreement.

Associates is currently evaluating the feasibility and business terms associated with leases and licenses of several City-owned properties including the Civic Auditorium, beach concessions, and Pacific Park. In order to support continuity for existing negotiations, staff recommends modifying the existing professional service agreements with Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. and Allan D. Kotin & Associates. In cases requiring outside consultant services, the City seeks reimbursement for its consultant fees. As the operators of Pacific Park have recently proposed potential modifications to their existing lease, staff seeks authorization to enter into a reimbursement agreement with SM Park Holdings, LLC, d/b/a Pacific Park Discussion
For complex development projects, the City, through its Housing and Economic Development Department, engages highly specialized real estate advisory services.

The City currently contracts with two consultants to perform such services, Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA) and Allan D. Kotin & Associates (Kotin & Associates).

Both consultants were selected following a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process in 2011 and Council approval on January 24, 2012 (Attachment A). Due to the complexity and duration of significant real estate transactions that can take many years to evaluate and negotiate, the consultant contracts have been modified to extend the original term and increase the original budget as summarized in the Past Council Actions table below. As negotiations on several complex public/private partnership development projects are ongoing (Fourth Street and Arizona project, Bergamot Station Arts Center, the Civic Auditorium) and the Santa Monica Pier tenant operating Pacific Park has requested to modify their lease agreement, further modifications of the consultant agreements are recommended.

KMA currently provides real estate financial analysis and economic development consulting services for the Fourth Street and Arizona and Bergamot Station Arts Center projects, including assisting the City with negotiating business terms associated with proposed disposition and development agreements and long-term ground leases for the projects, as well as conducting economic modeling of alternative development scenarios and assisting in analyzing affordable housing projects. The fees charged by

KMA are reimbursed by the respective development proponents through two separate cost-recovery agreements. To ensure that the economic analysis and negotiations are completed for the two projects, staff recommends modifying PSA # 9539 (CCS) with KMA to increase the compensation by $200,000 and to include five additional one-year options to extend the term, resulting in a total contract amount of $480,000 and a fourteen-year term.

Kotin & Associates is currently working on a variety of complex real estate transactions providing financial analysis and economic considerations for beach concessions, reuse of the Civic Auditorium, and lease negotiations for Pacific Park. To ensure consistency in the financial analysis and negotiations, staff recommends modifying PSA # 9543 (CCS) with Kotin & Associates to increase the compensation by $40,000 and to include three additional one-year options to extend the term, resulting in a total contract amount of $340,000 and an eleven-year term. The costs associated with the Pacific Park lease negotiations are proposed to be reimbursed through a cost reimbursement agreement with the subtenant operators of Pacific Park, the amusement park on Santa Monica Pier.

Subject: Approval of Fifth Modification to Allan D. Kotin & Associates Professional Services Agreement for Real Estate Advisory Services
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a fifth modification to Professional Services Agreement (PSA) #9543 (CCS) with Allan D. Kotin & Associates for continuation of real estate advisory services related to the Santa Monica Pier and other City projects. This modification will extend the term by one year. This will result in a 12-year amended agreement with no increase to the current authorized amount of $340,000, with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval.

Summary
The City has an extensive real estate portfolio with prominent assets such as the Santa Monica Pier, Civic Auditorium and Bergamot Station Arts Center, as well as other commercial properties at the beach and in the downtown area. As a best practice, the City retains advisory services specializing in economic and real estate analysis to inform and assist the City with valuations and negotiations. Allan D. Kotin & Associates is a consultant used by the City for such services. The City uses the firm’s consulting services to evaluate the feasibility and business terms associated with leases and licenses of several City-owned properties such as Pacific Park, the Civic Auditorium, beach concessions and other public-private partnerships. To ensure continuity, staff recommends modifying the existing professional services agreement with Allan D. Kotin & Associates (Kotin & Associates), who are supporting the City in current negotiations.

In some instances, requiring outside consultant services, the City has been able to be reimbursed for its consultant fees. Recently, the City has been in lease negotiations with

the operators of Pacific Park and is being reimbursed for Kotin & Associates’ consultant fees through the reimbursement agreement with SM Park Holdings, LLC d/b/a Pacific Park.

Discussion
For complex projects, the City, through its Economic Development Division, engages highly specialized real estate advisory services. One of the consultants that the City currently contracts with, Kotin & Associates, was selected following a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process in 2011 and Council approved on January 24, 2012 (Attachment A). Due to the complexity and duration of significant real estate transactions which can take many years to evaluate and negotiate, Kotin & Associates’ contract has been modified to extend the original term and increase the original budget as summarized in the Past Council Actions table below. Lease negotiations between the Santa Monica Pier tenant, Pacific Park, and the City have been ongoing; the complex lease negotiations have been conducted with the support of Kotin & Associates. To ensure continuity, staff recommends extending the term by one-year. The costs associated with the Pacific Park lease negotiations are being reimbursed through a cost reimbursement agreement with the subtenant operators of Pacific Park, the amusement park on the Santa Monica Pier. The Economic Development Division is in the process of finalizing a RFQ and expects to have a list of qualified consultants within Fiscal Year 2022-23.

Vendor/Consultant Selection
The services of Kotin & Associates were procured through a RFQ process in 2011. This firm was selected based on its qualifications and extensive financial and development advisory experience consulting for public agencies throughout the state. The City will be issuing a new RFQ for professional services in Fiscal Year 2022-23 to help identify additional professional service providers to assist the City with real estate needs.

However, due to potential ongoing requirements associated with Pacific Park, staff wanted to ensure Kotin was still under contract to provide continuity with this project.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the shutdown of the Pier, and staff workload, the

The remaining contract authority is $60,330 and is sufficient to complete the project.

1 of 3
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Water Resources Subject: Approval of First Modification to Agreement with Paul’s Welding for Water and Wastewater Portable Welding and Metal Fabrication Services Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a first modification to Agreement #11159 (CCS) in an amount not to exceed $350,000 with Paul’s Welding for water and wastewater portable welding and metal fabrication services for the Public Works Department. This will result in a five-year amended agreement with a new total amount not to exceed $850,000, with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval; and

2. Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15302 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

Summary
The City of Santa Monica is replacing existing water meter reading infrastructure with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), a cloud-based system that transmits water usage data via cellular network in near real time. Implementation of the AMI project requires the replacement of aging meters and meter box lids. Paul’s Welding is the City’s sole vendor for specialized welding and metal fabrication services, which includes fabrication of custom vault lids where needed to ensure compatibility with the new advanced meters. Staff recommends increasing Paul’s Welding Agreement #11159 (CCS) in an amount not to exceed $350,000, for a new total not to exceed $850,000 to support the AMI project.

The Water Resources Division of the Public Works Department delivers high-quality drinking water to approximately 18,400 metered water connections citywide. In an effort to modernize the City’s water meter infrastructure and reduce the impacts of residential water leaks, the Water Resources Division began implementing the AMI project in spring 2023 to replace aging water meters with advanced meters that are capable of providing daily water usage data to each customer.

Installation of the advanced meters requires the replacement of aging non-AMI compatible water meters and the fabrication or modification of meter box lids to allow for cellular signal transmission from the advanced meters to a secure customer portal.

These specialized welding and metal fabrication services are provided by Paul’s Welding, a sole-source vendor with the certification and knowledge of welding techniques and safety protocol unique to industrial water and wastewater operations.

On May 25, 2021, Council awarded an Exception to the Competitive Bidding agreement to Paul’s Welding (Attachment A). During the last two requests for bids for welding and metal fabrication services conducted by the City in July 2016 and February 2021, 122 and 4,469 vendors were notified, respectively, and only Paul’s Welding submitted a proposal. An additional $350,000 is needed to support and complete the AMI project for the custom welding and fabrication of custom steel meter vaults that was originally not accounted for in 2021.

Environmental Review
The replacement of existing water meter lids is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15302 (Replacement and Reconstruction) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Section 15302 exempts Class 2 projects which “consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced”. The new advanced meters and meter lids would replace existing water meters/lids with essentially the same purpose and capacity, and therefore, the meter lid fabrication services are categorically exempt from CEQA.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Water Resources Subject: Award Sole Source and Authorize an Agreement with Paul's Welding for Water and Wastewater Welding & Metal Fabrication Services Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with Paul Padilla, DBA Paul’s Welding for water and wastewater portable welding and metal fabrication services for the Public Works Department. This recommended award is made as an exception to the competitive bidding process pursuant to Section 2.24.250 (g) and is for a total amount not to exceed $500,000 over five years. Future year funding is contingent on Council budget approval.

Summary
The Water Resources Division contracts portable welding and fabrication services to properly maintain water and wastewater facilities at Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility (SMURRF) and Moss Avenue Pumping Station (MAPS). Welding repair work for MAPS and SMURRF requires a specialized knowledge of related equipment as well as confined space certification. In July 2016 and February 2021, the City solicited bids for such services, with Paul’s Welding being the sole bidder each time. Due to a lapse in prevailing wage registration with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), Paul’s Welding’s bid was disqualified, and the bid was closed with no qualified responses. Paul’s Welding has since become current with its registration with the DIR. Due to the specialized nature of work and limited response to previous requests for bids, Water Resources seeks to award a sole source to Paul’s Welding in an amount not to exceed $500,000 over a five-year period.

Discussion
The City contracts portable welding and fabrication work to maintain water and wastewater equipment located in Santa Monica and West Los Angeles including the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant, Charnock Well Field, MAPS, and SMURRF. Welding services required by the Water Resources Division are specialized in that repair locations must often be accessed within confined space, at elevated locations, and/or completed within proximity of water treatment chemicals. The welding contractor must have confined space training certification and knowledge of welding techniques and safety protocol unique to industrial water and wastewater operations. Repairs are conducted on an as-needed basis, and often, on an emergency basis at all hours of the day and night. It is vital to Water Resources operations that the City maintain an on-call agreement for portable welding and fabrication services with a certified, reliable, and knowledgeable firm.

Following two prior requests for bids conducted by the City in July 2016 and February 2021, which notified 122 and 4,469 vendors respectively, the effort only yielded one vendor submission, which was Paul’s Welding. Paul’s Welding is the current provider of portable welding and fabrication services for the Water Resources Division. Due to past limited responses to requests for bids and due to the specialized nature of work, Water Resources seeks to award a sole source agreement to Paul's Welding for portable welding and fabrication of related water and wastewater facilities and equipment in the amount of $500,000 over a five-year period, with future funding contingent upon City Council approval. A portion of maintenance costs for wastewater treatment facilities would be covered by the City of Los Angeles per existing maintenance agreements including 100% reimbursement for work completed at MAPS and 50% reimbursement for the SMURRF.

Vendor Selection
Exception to Competitive Bidding
Staff recommends that Paul’s Welding to provide water and wastewater equipment welding and metal fabrication services as an exception to competitive bidding per Muni Code 2.24.250 (g). This award meets the City’s exception to competitive bidding criteria (g) that due to circumstances outside of the control of the City, a substantial interference would result to City operations if a contract was not awarded as this repair work is vital to maintaining water and wastewater treatment .

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Water Resources Subject: Approval of First Modification to Agreement with Herc Rentals Inc. for Temporary Water and Wastewater Pump Rental
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

2. Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

Summary
The Santa Monica Water Resources Division of the Public Works Department operates and maintains the Moss Avenue Pump Station (MAPS), which is a critical wastewater conveyance component that pumps wastewater to the City of Los Angeles’ Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant for final treatment and disposal, and the Pico-Kenter Pump Station that diverts dry weather urban runoff to the Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility (SMURRF). Temporary pumps and pumping systems are required to maintain uninterrupted operations at MAPS and Pico-Kenter outfall during routine pump maintenance activities and are also required in the event any of the pumps fail. Staff recommends increasing the current Agreement #11179 (CCS) by an amount not to exceed $150,000, for a new five-year total not to exceed $450,000, for temporary pump services.

Discussion
MAPS and the Pico-Kenter Pump Station are vital facilities to the City’s wastewater and stormwater collection infrastructure. Having access to temporary pumps is critical in the event any of the pumps fail or to carry out routine maintenance activities at MAPS.

Pump failures at MAPS could result in sanitary sewer overflows at the Pier area, that could result in heavy fines from regulatory agencies, property damage, and financial loss to the City. In 2023, the MAPS experienced two major failures and relied on temporary pumping systems to ensure continual and uninterrupted conveyance of wastewater to the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant. The failures at MAPS are attributed to the age of the facility and pumps that have been in operation for over 20 years. A new pump was ordered to replace the pump that failed during one of the failure events, but due to supply chain issues and the long shipping lead time from the manufacturer, rental of the temporary pumping system was longer than anticipated to maintain reliability at MAPS. The additional contract authority is to cover the longer than anticipated rental period.

On January 4, 2021 Request for Bids #4408 was issued. 9 vendors downloaded the bid and Herc Rentals Inc. provided the sole response. On July 27, 2021, Council awarded an agreement to Herc Rentals, Inc. for rental of temporary water and wastewater pumps. Additional funding is needed due to the longer than anticipated rental of a temporary pump due to the delay caused by supply chain issues of the replacement pumps.

Environmental Review
The contract for temporary pump systems is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15301 exempts Class 1 (Existing Facilities) projects from CEQA, which include the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The temporary pump systems would not result in any modifications to the existing MAPs and Pico-Kenter outfall and would not expand or

materially change existing. Therefore, this is categorically exempt as set forth in Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.

1 of 3
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Acting Public Works Director, Public Works, Water Resources Subject: Award Bid #4408 and enter into Agreement with Herc Rentals Inc. for Temporary Pump Rental
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Award Bid #4408 to Herc Rentals Inc. for rental of temporary water and wastewater pumps and related parts for the Public Works Department; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contractual services agreement with Herc Rentals Inc, in an amount not to exceed $300,000 over five years, with an increase of no more than 2% each year, with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval.

Summary
The City of Santa Monica Water Resources Division operates and maintains the Moss Avenue Pump Station (MAPS) and the Pico-Kenter Pump Station which assist with conveyance of sewage to the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant and diversion of urban runoff to the Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility (SMURRF), respectively.

Temporary pumps are required to maintain the pumping capacity at MAPS during routine pump maintenance activities and are also required as backup in the event any of the pumps fail at the Pico-Kenter station. Staff recommends Herc Rentals Inc. to provide rental wastewater pumps for a total amount not to exceed $300,000 over a fiveyear period.

Discussion
MAPS and Pico-Kenter Pump Station are vital facilities to the City’s wastewater and storm drain infrastructure. MAPS conveys an average of 5 million gallons of sewage per day to Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant for treatment and Pico-Kenter Pump Station diverts an average of 100,000 gallons of urban runoff per day to SMURRF for treatment and production of reclaimed water. Having access to temporary pumps is critical in the

5.F.a
Packet Pg. 191 Attachment: Staff Report - July 27, 2021 (6427 : Mod 1 - CT 11179 - Temporary Pump Rental) 2 of 3
event any of the pumps fail at either facility or to carry out routine maintenance activities at MAPS. Temporary pumps are also used when scheduled groundwater well maintenance occurs as there is an influx of extra water from well flushing which the Pico-Kenter Pump Station cannot accommodate. 100% of the costs associated with the MAPS operations are reimbursed by the City of Los Angeles per an existing maintenance agreement.

In January 2021, the City’s Water Resources Division issued Request for Bids #4408 and Herc Rentals Inc. provided the sole response. Based on expected annual rentals, Water Resources seeks to establish a contractual services agreement in an amount not to exceed $300,000 over a five-year period.

I have nearly three years left on my appointment to the Audit Subcommittee and I want to continue in that role.

I understand that the appointment on the Sustainability Commission was for about one month - term ending June 30, 2024.

If City Policy does not allow me to serve concurrently on both the Audit Subcommittee and the Sustainability Commission, then I will relinquish my appointment to the Sustainability Committee.

I want to continue serving on the Audit Subcommittee for the full term.

Thank you for this clarification. Is staff able to advocate for the appointment to be pushed to June 25th? I feel like we would have to on-board someone for one meeting. Then they may not get re-appointed.

Sorry, my mistake. The appointment was pushed to the June 11th meeting. The annual appointments are scheduled for the June 25th.

If Council chooses to appoint someone on the June11th meeting, that person would have less than a month to re-apply. If Council chooses not to appoint someone on that meeting, then that appointment would be mixed in with the annual appointments.

Hope that makes sense.

1. If the Developer commits a violation other than not achieving the applicable AVR target, the City shall issue a written warning and the Developer shall have 30 calendar days from receipt of the notice to correct the violation. If the Developer continues to commit the violation 60 calendar days after receipt of the first written warning, the Developer shall be subject to a fine of $5/residential unit/day and $5/Employee in the project/day. The fine shall be deposited in accordance with Section 9.53.110. In the case of mixed-use projects that include both residential units and Employees, the fine shall be calculated separately for each use.

2. If the annual monitoring report shows that the applicable AVR Target has not been achieved for the project, then the Developer shall submit a list of modifications to the Developer TDM Plan to the Director of Transportation for approval within 60 calendar days of the report submittal. The Director of Transportation shall review the list of modifications and may also recommend modifications to the Developer TDM Plan, as appropriate, in order to ensure that the applicable AVR target is achieved.

Subject: June 25th Council Meeting Agenda items
Support items 10A, 10 B, 16B, 16D
Oppose Item 16E
Dear Santa Monica Mayor and City Council:

Support Item 10A and 10B

A. Support adoption of an Ordinance Amending Santa Monica Municipal Code Chapter 9.53 to Align the City’s Transportation Demand Management Ordinance with South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (AQMD) Rule 2202
B. Support Adoption of an Ordinance that Supports Electric Vehicle Charging Access by Adopting Local Amendments to the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code.

Support Item 16B:

Santa Monica Spoke and the Santa Monica Safe Street Alliance fully support the Council item 16B to direct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution that addresses the false and harmful signs on the 3rd Street Promenade disparaging our City Manager and the City at large, also conjuring lies about the LA County needle-exchange program. Those signs abuse our First Amendment free speech rights, threatening personal and public safety, the City’s reputation and the City’s economic recovery.

Please approve item 16B expeditiously so that Santa Monica can be proud of our civility and the potentially kind way that we treat others in Santa Monica and to enjoy the amenities and business on the 3rd Street Promenade that contribute to a clean and safe community and to our potentially vibrant economy.

Support Item 16D:

Our full support also applies to Item 16D to expand the Preserving our Diversity Program (POD) with clear considerations of elderly residents in the Pico Neighborhood experiencing poverty. The specifications identified to assist elderly Pico neighbors who qualify for POD are important requirements to fulfill our City’s and community’s expectations and aspirations to protect the vulnerable in our midst. Sometimes, it is too easy to miss something to help keep us attentive. Item 16D calls out new ways to assist POD applicants and to determine fair decisions about who receives POD aid.

Opposed Item 16E:

Finally, we oppose Agenda Item 16E to add a parcel tax measure to the November ballot. At this time, an unpolled measure, particularly for a parcel tax that is usually used for schools, is not a wise choice.

Sincerely,
Cynthia Rose

Summary
As presented to City Council on May 28, 2024 (Attachment O), the FY 2024-25 Proposed Operating Budget and the FY 2024-26 Proposed Biennial Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget is a balanced budget. The attached changes to the proposed budget reflect direction given by Council at that time following public input and Council discussion, including the addition of four Police Officers, and the funding of two CIP projects - the CCTV Security Camera Program and the Quick Build Enhancements at Unsignalized Intersections.

12.A
Packet Pg. 325
3 of 21
The overall FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget as revised is $765.3 million, net of reimbursements and transfers. This is a difference of approximately $1.8 million over what was presented in the initial proposed budget on May 28, 2024. Of this amount, approximately $0.8 million is in the General Fund, $0.9 million is in the Housing Authority Fund, and $50,000 is in the Miscellaneous Grants Fund.

Building on efforts made since the COVID-19 pandemic, the FY 2023-25 budget restores many services and investments to maintain progress towards addressing community needs. Given the current level of economic uncertainty, the FY 2024-25 Proposed Operating Budget is focused on no-cost operational adjustments to improve service delivery for the community, required budget corrections, and adjustments required in accordance with collective bargaining agreements.

The first year (FY 2024-25) of the FY 2024-26 Proposed Biennial CIP Budget makes strategic investments to maintain and enhance critical infrastructure to protect the City’s existing capital investments and minimize future maintenance and replacement costs.

However, as discussed at the May 28, 2024 study session, a conservative approach is being taken as a result of resource constraints and as a strategy to safeguard our fiscal stability, at a time when much uncertainty remains around contingent legal liabilities.

This report presents information and requests actions necessary to adopt the FY 2024- 25 Operating Budget and adopt the first year (FY 2024-25) of the FY 2024-26 Biennial CIP Budget for the City of Santa Monica, the Santa Monica Housing Authority, and the Santa Monica Parking Authority. Staff also requests that Council approve the second year (FY 2025-26) of the FY 2024-26 Biennial CIP Budget. Since the City Charter requires Council to adopt a budget annually, staff will submit the second year of the CIP Budget to Council for formal adoption, with any necessary revisions, in June 2025.

The report also provides information on cannabis tax rates, outdoor dining rates, and the updated balance of available Council Discretionary Funds. Finally, this report includes actions necessary to revise certain fees and fines, establish parking rates, set the annual Gann appropriations limit, approve the allocation of SB-1 Gas Tax funding to

eligible projects, revise the Confidential Unit Employees (CUE) Pay Plan; and accept grant awards and renewals.

Background
The FY 2023-25 Biennial Operating Budget reflects the most substantial restoration of ongoing services and introduction of enhanced services to date since the 2020 budget restructuring. The budget was built upon community-driven priorities, to continue to restore City programs and services to the community through strategic investments informed by Council’s five priority areas. The restorations were made possible through a combination of a new voter-approved revenue source, moderate revenue growth, the reallocation of funds, new revenues from public and private partnerships, and staff’s ability to expand capacity for cost-covering programs. The investments incorporated in the biennial budget continue through this second budget year (FY 2024-25). All restorations and new investments funded in the biennial budget are detailed in the adopted budget book. Some of the key investments in the priority areas include:
• addressing homelessness – preparation of a Homelessness Strategic Plan; expanded outreach teams, including Multi-Disciplinary Teams consisting of mental health professionals who deliver immediate and intensive services to people experiencing homelessness, the Homeless Liaison Program (HLP) to expand operating hours, partnerships with outside agencies to provide greater resources to work with clients and connect them immediately to available services, and redesign of the SAMOSHEL interim housing program to accommodate 24/7 intakes.
• clean and safe programs – implementation of the Santa Monica Analytical Real Time Center (S.M.A.R.T Center) to gather and synthesize real time data from an array of technologies to aid police resources, expanded security services at Downtown parking structures and the Pier, maintenance of water features at Ken Genser and Tongva Parks, increased frequency of tree pruning in high-traffic areas to ensure safer conditions for the public and improve the aesthetics of our public spaces, specialized public space maintenance team focusing on waste and debris generated by people experiencing homelessness, enhanced

monitoring and enforcement of the City’s home-sharing ordinance, enhanced parking structure and lot maintenance program, enhanced community response unit capabilities, and implementation of a Transit Safety Program on buses and at bus stops.
• community & cultural offerings – increased service hours at libraries and the Memorial Park gym and fitness room, enhanced direct service youth programs like CREST, PAL and VAP, including the Summer Lunch Program, continued financial support for the school district’s playground club offering supervised afterschool play time on elementary schoolyards, continuation of the Art of Recovery program which supports production of free public art and cultural programming and events, and creation of a new Pickleball Program. • economic recovery – creation of a small business assistance and tenant improvement fund to provide revolving loans or grants and technical assistance to highest need businesses, advancement in streamlining the City’s permitting processes with the added Senior Planner and restoration of the Neighborhood Grant Program, and modernization of the City’s Business License Tax program.

Likewise, the Council’s five priorities guided investments in the City’s capital improvement program, in particular the General Fund projects, once the most critical maintenance needs and other obligations were addressed. Because the City’s CIP budget has remained underfunded since the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to continue reduced funding to address uncertainty over city liabilities, the CIP unfunded project list has grown to $460.0 million.

The proposed FY 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program budget is strategically allocating its very limited General Fund resources to on-going facility and infrastructure maintenance, and technology upgrades to ensure that projects most closely addressing City Council priorities rise to the top.

The majority of the CIP portfolio is funded by non-General Fund funding sources that are mostly restricted and must fund projects within their enterprise or follow grant

guidelines. Staff have proactively identified multiple grants and outside resources in order to implement innovative projects that support attainment of various sustainability goals. Below are highlights of some of the larger projects that reflect a commitment to maintaining and enhancing the City’s infrastructure and that focus on a Clean and Safe Santa Monica, a Sustainable and Connected Community and aligned with City Council priorities.

• Add 4.0 Police Officer positions in the Police Department, per Council direction at the May 28th budget study session.
• Delete 1.0 Consumer Affairs Specialist / Add 1.0 Senior Legal Analyst – CAO in the City Attorney’s Office. The change reflects the department’s intent to appropriately classify the position to better reflect the increased, higher-level legal duties this employee is performing, including litigation-related work, community outreach, and strategic analysis. The department will absorb the nominal cost within its budget.
• Delete 1.0 Senior Grants Analyst / Add 1.0 Senior Accountant in the Finance Department. This no-cost staffing adjustment is recommended to better align with scope of responsibilities.
• Delete 1.0 Housing Program Manager / Add 1.0 Housing Administrator – Production in the Housing and Human Services Department (HHS). This no cost staffing adjustment will allow HHS to recruit a subject matter expert to support key City initiatives including the development of City-owned sites identified in the Housing Element, implementation of renter protection programs, and administration of Measure GS funds.

Also included in Attachment I are required adjustments to employee classifications, compensation and position adjustments, resulting from classification and compensation studies conducted by the Human Resources Department, as presented to Council at the budget study session. The budget impact associated with these adjustments was included in the proposed budget presented to Council on May 28.

Budget Resolutions
Adopting the resolutions in Attachments A, B, and C would:
• Adopt the FY 2024-25 budget revenues at the account level, with operating expenditure appropriations for the Salaries and Wages and Supplies and Expenses major expenditure categories within a fund for each department, and capital improvement program budget within a fund;

12.A
Packet Pg. 332

• Authorize staff to roll over unspent appropriations for multi-year operating grants not completed at the end of the fiscal year, including federal recovery funding, unspent donations dedicated to programs, and funds for the encumbrances of goods and services ordered and contracted for by FY 2023-24 year-end but not delivered or provided until FY 2024-25;
• Authorize staff to roll over appropriations for Measure CS and Council discretionary unencumbered balances and unexpended encumbrances of the FY 2023-24 Budget for the City’s General Fund; and
• Authorize staff to roll over appropriations for the General Fund and all other NonGeneral Fund unencumbered balances and unexpended encumbrances for the FY 2024-25 CIP budget.

Gann Appropriations Limit
The State Constitution requires state and local governments to adopt an annual appropriation limit. This limit is commonly known as the “Gann Limit.” Under the Gann Limit, a maximum amount is established for annual tax-funded government services.

That amount is to be adjusted each year depending on changes in state population, inflation and the transfer of financial responsibility for various government activities from one level of government to another. Any significant amount of state tax revenue received above that Gann Limit is to lead to future tax rebates or tax cuts. Every June, along with budget adoption, City Council adopts a resolution establishing the Gann appropriations limit for the City of Santa Monica.

The proposed Gann appropriations limit for FY 2024-25 is calculated by applying annual adjustment factors provided by the California Department of Finance to the FY 2023-24 Gann Limit.

Adjustment Factors:

State Per Capita Personal Income . 1.03620
City Population Growth x 1.00340
Adjustment to current year = 1.03972

Appropriations Subject to Gann Limit 328,015,760
Net Under / (Over) Limit $ 2,736,450,576
Appropriations subject to the Gann Appropriations Limit, primarily in the General Fund, are $2,736,450,576 below the limit. Examples of tax revenues governed by the Gann Appropriations Limit are property taxes, sales tax, transaction and use tax, transient occupancy tax, utility tax, parking facility tax, and the business license tax. These revenues subject to the limit are reduced by any refunds, certain benefits payments, qualified capital projects, and court or federal mandates.

A resolution to establish the City’s FY 2024-25 Gann Appropriations Limit is included in Attachment K.

Fees/Fines/Rates
Master fee, fine, and parking rate resolutions are annually presented to Council as part of the budget adoption process.

Citywide Fee Updates
The master fee resolution (Attachment E) contains user fees and rates charged by the City, which are designed to recover the City’s costs, including staff time. Per previous Council actions, most City user fees will increase administratively by 3.7% on July 1, 2024, reflecting the FY 2024-25 increase in total City compensation (which includes salary, healthcare, retirement, and workers’ compensation costs) projected at the time of preparation of the Proposed FY 2024-25 Budget. Also included in the resolution are new fees and modifications to existing fees, as presented to Council during the budget study session, including 23 new fees related to Emergency Medical Services (EMS), facility rentals and use, Certified Unified Program Agency fees (CUPA), grading review permit fees, factory-built housing, and City Planning fees; revisions to 48 fees related to CUPA, fire permits, airport fees, landscape services, taxicab, medicinal cannabis,

12.A
Packet Pg. 334

Concealed Carry Firearm permit (CCW) renewal application, mortuary services; and the deletion of five fees related to library fees, taxicab fees, and EV user fees.

Most of the fines included in the Master Fine resolution (Attachment F) have remained unchanged from the previous fiscal year with the following exceptions:
• The Library is requesting the deletion of the one remaining overdue fine, Collection Agency Referral, from the master fine resolution to align with the elimination of other overdue fines for adult cardholders. • The Code Enforcement Division is recommending increases to three existing fines to deter the public from violating Chapter 13.06.050, Public Nuisances, of the City’s Municipal Code and the impact caused to the community. Additionally, six fines are recommended for deletion from the fine schedule because they are not used for citation purposes.
• The Resource Recovery and Recycling Division is recommending three fines related to mandatory recycling be incorporated into the Master Fine Schedule.

These fines were authorized by Ordinance No. 2685 (CCS) and codified in section 5.46.130 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code.

Promenade Outdoor Dining
On June 11, 2024, Council directed staff to evaluate a request from Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. and return with recommendations to reduce the per square foot monthly fees associated with the use of sidewalks for outdoor dining on the Third Street Promenade to support the City’s economic recovery. In addition, the City Manager and City Attorney were asked to evaluate and return to City Council with recommendations for incentives such as waiving fees for a period of time to help support and attract restaurants and entertainment uses to the Promenade and lend to the vibrancy of the area. In response to this direction, staff is proposing to waive the Outdoor Dining Fee on the Third Street Promenade for one fiscal year and charge a reduced fee of $1 per square foot per month for the second fiscal year pursuant to the attached resolution (Attachment H). While the impact to the General Fund will be $189,760 in FY 2024-25 and $149,423 in FY 2025-26, staff agrees that implementing a temporary fee reduction

12.A
Packet Pg. 335
13 of 21
could enhance the appeal of the Promenade for prospective businesses. Outdoor dining rates on the Promenade are currently among the highest in the region at $4.09 per square foot per month, and they are also the highest tier compared to the City’s other business districts. A temporary reduction in fees on the Promenade could help to further activate the Promenade with more outdoor activity and it will provide much-needed support to the local restaurants that continue to be heavily impacted by the loss in tourism and the slow return of daytime workers to the District, coupled with the recent zoning changes to help support the conversion of vacant retail spaces to entertainment and dining uses, the decision to reduce fees seeks to help incentivize new businesses to open on the Promenade. A citywide Outdoor Dining fee study will be conducted by staff during FY 2024-25 with the goal of including any proposed rate changes for Council consideration at the City’s May 2025 budget study session.

Parking
There are no proposed rate changes to transient and permit parking lots/structures at this time. A comprehensive parking rates resolution (Attachment G) states all the parking fees and rates and provides for Council to affirmatively approve them. The resolution provides for the following changes: 1) Extend the downtown discount validation program through June 30, 2025; 2) Extend the bulk parking fee agreement for the State of California Judicial Council through June 30, 2025; 3) Increase preferential parking permit fees by 3.7%, reflecting the FY 2024-25 increase in total City compensation; 4) Continue the Pilot Electric Vehicle Parking Permit for Lots 7, 8, 9, and 11; 5) Make plug-in hybrids eligible for the Pilot Electric Vehicle Parking Permit; and 6) Establish a fee for overnight parking permits for oversized vehicles.

SB-1 Gas Tax Revenues
In April 2017, SB 1, formally known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act (RMRA) of 2017, was signed into law. SB1 establishes the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program (RMRP) to address deferred maintenance on the state highway and local street and road systems. Current fund estimates provided by the League of California Cities indicate that the City of Santa Monica will be eligible to receive approximately $2.4 million in SB1 funding in FY 2024-25, in addition to the City’s existing annual gas

12.A
Packet Pg. 336
14 of 21
tax revenues of approximately $2.6 Million. Staff recommends approving the attached resolution (Attachment L) identifying the use of FY 2024-25 SB1 estimated allocation of $2.4 million for the Annual Paving and Sidewalk Repair Program capital improvement project, which was already included in the FY 2024-26 Proposed CIP Budget that was presented to Council on May 28.

Confidential Unrepresented Employee (CUE) Pay Plan
The City Manager proposes a revision to the Confidential Unrepresented Employees (CUE) Pay Plan to add the following classifications: Administrative Services Officer (assigned to Human Resources only), Principal Budget Analyst, Senior Budget Analyst, Budget Analyst, Financial Systems and Reporting Administrator, Payroll Administrator, Payroll Analyst I and Payroll Analyst II. The CUE Pay Plan includes job classifications in the Finance and Human Resources Departments; employees who are participants of the CUE Pay Plan are confidential employees who, in the course of their job duties, have regular access to confidential information relating to the City’s administration of employer-employee relations. As such, these job classifications are not represented by any recognized bargaining unit in the City, but whose benefits of employment are set forth in the CUE Pay Plan. Staff recommends approving the attached resolution (Attachment M) to revise the Confidential Unrepresented Employees Pay Plan (FY 2022-25) to add job classifications listed above.

Cannabis Tax
The City’s cannabis business tax rate rates are currently set at 2% for medicinal sales and 3% for adult-use sales with a maximum tax rate of 10% that can be adjusted by resolution. Per SMMC 6.204.060(a), cannabis retailers must report gross receipts and remit cannabis taxes on or before June 30th. Cannabis business tax data is limited as neither permitted retailer has been in operations a full reporting period. Based on both operators’ start dates in Santa Monica, complete cannabis tax data will not exist for the two operators until FY 2026-27.

The table below shows the current and maximum tax rates for cannabis retailers in several jurisdictions within Los Angeles County and includes the population and number

12.A
Packet Pg. 337

of retailers in each jurisdiction and the population. Adult-use cannabis business tax rates range from 4% up to 10%. A number of cities have separate rates for medicinal cannabis with rates as low as 0.5%. The average adult use rate amongst the jurisdiction listed below is 6.3%.

On April 23, 2024, Council held a study session on cannabis social equity where direction was given on the framework of an equity program. During that study session, staff outlined the overall schedule for the development of the adult-use cannabis program. Staff expects to return with the draft adult-use ordinance along with results from the equity assessment, which will inform the equity component of the Santa Monica’s cannabis program. Even after the adoption of an adult-use ordinance, it seems unlikely that any other cannabis retailers will open until mid- to late-2025 at the earliest due to the application and permitting requirements at the local and State level. As a result, from an economic development perspective, it may be advisable for Council to

12.A
Packet Pg. 338
16 of 21
wait to raise cannabis business taxes until the City has a sense of the demand for cannabis businesses to open in Santa Monica.

There is currently one cannabis retailer open in Santa Monica with one other permitted retailer that is anticipated to open in June 2024. Both retailers were selected as a result of the City’s medicinal cannabis selection process, have obtained the required state and local permits, and were authorized to sell adult-use cannabis with the Council adoption of Interim Zoning Ordinance 2764.

The barriers to entry to the cannabis industry are already high and tax rates may be a deciding factor in whether businesses choose to locate in Santa Monica. Because the cannabis industry is relatively new in Santa Monica, Council should consider that aligning the City's tax rate with neighboring jurisdictions at this time may disincentivize new cannabis businesses from locating in Santa Monica. Analysis by the City’s consultant HdL Companies (HDL) indicates that there are a number of retailers located immediately adjacent to Santa Monica’s borders with Los Angeles. HDL indicates that it is likely that these retailers capture a significant percentage of sales from walk-in customers that live in Santa Monica. Further, there are also more than 50 retailers and non-storefront cannabis delivery services within a 15-to-20-minute driving distance of Santa Monica, which most likely conduct delivery sales into Santa Monica.

Staff recommends that Council not raise the cannabis tax rate at this time and instead wait until the adult use cannabis program is more formed so that taxes can be set with a more comprehensive understanding of the cannabis market, wait until we have more revenue data from the two existing operators, and also have an opportunity to discuss tax rate changes with existing and future operators.

Acceptance of Grant Awards
Acceptance of Discretionary Grant from Supervisorial District 3 The Criminal Prosecution Unit of the City Attorney’s office has been awarded $50,000 from Supervisor Horvath’s Office. This grant money will be used to support the STEP

12.A

program that is currently running in the City. STEP Court brings a criminal court to Santa Monica once a month to hold court proceedings. It is a collaborative court that brings together those who are experiencing homelessness, drug, or mental health issues with a service provider to help address the underlying issues that brought them in contact with the criminal justice system. Currently there are about 30 participants in the program, and it has already seen two successful graduations. Staff is requesting authorization to accept these grant funds and to appropriate the funds (as reflected in final changes).

Acceptance of Federal CoC Renewal Grants
The CoC Program is a federally funded competitive grant program designed to provide housing subsidies (supportive housing) to homeless, disabled households. For FY 2024-25, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a CoC grant in the amount of $4,822,406. Staff is requesting authorization to accept these grant funds from HUD.

These funds will support the City's CoC Program, which aids both sheltered and unsheltered individuals experiencing homelessness by providing the housing and services needed to facilitate their transition into supportive permanent housing, with the objective of achieving long-term stability. The funding for this grant is allocated in the Housing Authority Fund. The majority of the grant funds were included in the FY 2024- 25 Proposed Budget presented to Council on May 28, 2024. That amount, in addition to the final change of $907,850, reflected in the Final Changes section of this report, results in the full appropriation of the $4,822,406 grant award.

Council Discretionary Funds Updated Balance
As discussed at the Budget Study Session, Council allocates discretionary funds to assist the community in special projects or support important but otherwise unfunded priorities. Projects and programs supported by Council discretionary funds for the past three years, as well as funds allocated this fiscal year (FY 2023-24) are detailed in Attachment Q.

12.A
Packet Pg. 340
18 of 21
Council allocated the remaining FY 2023-24 discretionary funds during the April 23, 2024 Council meeting. As such, there are no unprogrammed FY 2023-24 discretionary funds remaining. The FY 2024-25 proposed budget for Council discretionary funds is $127,653, which can be programmed at Council’s direction at any time. Council may direct staff tonight to allocate any portion of the available funds and adopt those as part of budget adoption.

Additionally, the unused balance of Council travel funds in FY 2023-24 will be determined once the City’s books close for the fiscal year. The balance will be shared with Council at that time and staff will seek direction on next steps.

Environmental Review
The FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines (common sense exemption), which states that CEQA does not apply, “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” This report provides a programmatic overview of the City’s budget. The implementation of capital projects or programs would be subject to future CEQA review as applicable.

Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that actions would not result in adverse physical impacts on the environment, and as such, is exempt from CEQA.

12.A
Packet Pg. 341

The Reduced Airport Fees are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(1) and CEQA Guidelines sections 15061(b)(3), 15369, and 15273.

The reduction is a ministerial project to comply with the City’s 2017 Consent Decree with the Federal Aviation Administration and with certain federal grant assurances, which does not require discretionary approval. Pub. Resources Code § 21080, subd. (b)(1); CEQA Guidelines § 15369. Additionally, the Reduced Airport Fees are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines (common sense exemption), which applies when “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The Reduced Airport Fees will not result in any significant impact on the environment from increased operations. Lastly, there is no reasonable probability that the Reduced Airport Fee will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.
