MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

Review and accept the "Certification of Accounts Payable" for the accounts payable payment cycles for January 2023, starting check number 333100 and ending check number 333313.

Review and accept the "Certification of Salaries" for the pay period ending dates December 30th, 2022, through January 13th, 2023.

BACKGROUND:

This is the certification (separation of duties between the "preparer from the reviewer") Presented in the attached documents:
a) CERTIFICATION OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE CHECKS by check number range and dates. It also discloses any voided checks.
b) EXPENSE REPORTS showing the amounts and funds accounts payable came from The "Check Report" depicts the following columns:
c) AP-ACCOUNTS PAYABLE for vendors (non-City staff) by the vendor number, vendor name, payment date, payment amount and check numbers (entitled 'number') d) PY-PAYROLL for benefit payments, insurance, retirement, etc. Benefits payable on behalf of City staff.

EMERGENCY PURCHASING - REPORTING REQUIREMENT
The City received State of California - Office of Emergency Services funding to remove the fire-hazard associated with the significant Eucalyptus tree grove along the barranca. About 2/3 of the grove has been removed, but the upper 1/3 (near to Santa Paula Street) was awaiting such work. Council budgeted for the work, but recent storms eroded the creek embankments which constitute a condition needing fairly immediate attention. A number of trees were lost during the recent storm and we are hopeful we may qualify for some reimbursement of costs now that Council has declared a local emergency.

As a qualified Arborist recommended the removal of certain trees sooner than later, the Parks and Recreation Director sought quotes for, and the City Manager approved, a work order exceeding the normal $50,000 City Manager authority, since delays could cause further issues and potentially damage. As required by our Purchasing Ordinance, staff must now report and publicly announce this action taken under our emergency provisions. Some work has been delayed as the storms have taxed the heavy equipment needed to perform the work and the chipping process and crews are stretched thin from damage throughout southern California.

ANALYSIS:

See the attachments for expense breakdown by respective fund.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

None.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

None.

CITY OF SANTA PAULA

MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
(1) Adopt Resolution No. 7447, approving changes to the minimum qualifications of the Police Commander Job Description.

BACKGROUND:

For future upcoming promotional processes, it is beneficial to create a job description that will allow internal and external P.O.S.T. Certified candidates to apply and compete for the position of Police Commander. This will enable a larger pool of qualified candidates with supervisory and management experience. Such a change would include the following components:

1. Modify the Minimum Qualifications for the position of Police Commander.

2. Omit the requirement of an Associate Degree, and increase the desired years of experience.

3. Expand Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities.

ANALYSIS:

In the past, all Police Commander promotional postings have been advertised only for candidates within the department. This has created a pool of limited depth in breadth of overall experience, tenure, and supervisory experience. The revision to Minimum Qualifications is necessary to promote and attract a suitable qualified internal and external candidate for the position.

1. The current job description includes the following Minimum Qualifications:

Education and Experience: Graduation from an accredited college or university with an Associate of Arts or Science degree in police science, criminal justice or a related field. Five years of increasingly responsible experience in a Police Department, including two years in a 57 supervisory capacity at the rank of Sergeant or equivalent. Spanish speaking ability and significant experience in a culturally diverse community are both highly desirable. A Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in police science, criminal justice or a related field is highly desirable.

Knowledge and Abilities: Thorough knowledge of the principles, practices, and modern methods of policing with particular emphasis in the philosophy of Community Oriented Policing and National Police Accreditation. Clear comprehension of management and supervisory techniques. Knowledge of patrol operations and modern methods of investigation; Ability to think, plan and act quickly and effectively in emergencies, including direction of subordinate personnel and others; ability to enforce laws impartially and with tact. Knowledge of municipal operations and the dynamics of city government. Ability to organize and direct a large range of resources available to the Department. Excellent customer service orientation; be a team player; be able to embrace change, and have the proven ability to provide creative, innovative alternatives to complex matters facing the City. Possess strong analytical, writing and verbal/public speaking skills; and be skilled in computer and technological operations. Ability to work effectively with the public, City Council, City Manager, Department Heads, Departments Staff, Police and other City staff, and other agencies.

LICENSE: Possession of or ability to obtain P.O.S.T. Certificate and Class C California driver's license.

2. The recommendation to update the Minimum Qualifications.

Education: High School graduate or possession of G.E.D.

Experience: A minimum of ten years of increasingly responsible experience in a Police Department, including a minimum of three years in a supervisory/management capacity at the rank of Sergeant, or Commander, or equivalent. An Associate’s Degree or Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in police science, criminal justice or other related field is desirable.

Spanish speaking ability and significant experience in a culturally diverse community are both highly desirable.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Approval of this item will enhance the management and depth of experience to the Police Commander position.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

None.

PERSONNEL IMPACTS
Upon approval of the amendment to the Police Commander job description, staff will begin recruitment efforts immediately.

OPTIONS:

As an alternative to Staff's recommendation, the City Council may:

1. Decline to approve the job description modifications. Doing so, however, will reduce the number of qualified candidates to fill the position of Police Commander

2. Provide additional direction to staff.

65 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jonathan Royas, Management Analyst
Subject: REQUEST AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY PERSONNEL TO MEET WITH LEGISLATORS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

Date: February 15, 2023
Agenda Item: 8.D

CITY OF SANTA PAULA

MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Authorize the Mayor and staff personnel, acting as representatives of the City, to travel to and meet with legislators in Washington, D.C. to further Santa Paula's infrastructure interests.

BACKGROUND:

Many local governments rely on the expertise of state and federal legislative advocacy firms to represent their respective government agencies in Sacramento, CA and Washington D.C.

Typical services include legislative monitoring and analysis, state budget advocacy, grant coordination, advocacy, and most recently, Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) requests in the Senate or Community Project Funding (CPF) in the House (formerly known as earmarks). While Congress placed a moratorium on the practice in 2010, in 2021 Congress reintroduced both programs of which local governments have been the beneficiaries.

Legislative advocacy services are also essential in identifying funding opportunities, grant applications, and other special programs for which the City may qualify.

In 2021, staff submitted two CDS project requests to Senator Feinstein, one of which drew attention from the Senator's office for the Harvard Boulevard Water/Sewer and Pavement Project; however, staff was unsuccessful in securing support for the project. In addition, staff also submitted two CPF projects to Congresswoman Brownley's office, ultimately ending in no support for either project.

In an effort to put the needs of Santa Paula at the forefront and maintain a competitive edge for the 2022 CDS and CPF funding cycles, staff recommended and Council supported, hiring the legislative advocacy firm Merchant McIntrye & Associates (MM) to assist the City of Santa Paula in securing an unprecedented amount of federal support.

Over the course of 2022, MM worked diligently with staff to advocate for the Harvard Blvd.

Improvement Project and in fact, secured support from several federal legislators as follows:
$2,000,000 – United States Senator Alex Padilla
66 This project will install over 1.2 miles of vital utility pipeline to serve residents, businesses, and the greater Ventura County community.
$2,000,000 – California Congresswoman Julia Brownley
The funding would be used for the water and wastewater replacement portion of the Harvard Boulevard Water and Sewer Pipeline Replacement and Paving Rehabilitation Project — overall an approximately $16 million initiative. The $2 million request will install over 1.2 miles of utility pipeline, which will ensure the City can provide a reliable potable water distribution system and an efficient wastewater collection system to sustain operations in the community.
$500,000 - United States Senator for California Dianne Feinstein This funding would advance the Harvard Boulevard Water and Sewer Pipeline Replacement and Paving Rehabilitation Project, which will upgrade the City of Santa Paula water and sewer systems.

Eventually, on December 29, 2022, Congress awarded an unprecedented $2 million dollars to the City to advance the Harvard Boulevard Improvement Project.

ANALYSIS:

The Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) funding cycle in the Senate and the Community Project Funding (CPF) request process in the House, formerly known as earmarks, are about to begin again for the 2023 legislative cycle.

In recent discussions with MM, staff has posed the question to our consultants, "What do we need to do differently this funding cycle to increase Santa Paula's chances of securing a second request for Federal monies to support critical infrastructure projects in Santa Paula?" MM response, in their expert opinion as federal advocates, was quite simply, "To show up in Washington, D.C. in person."
Meeting in person with legislators and their staff affords Santa Paula the opportunity to accomplish a few objectives:

1. Thank Senator Feinstein, Senator Padilla, and Congresswoman Brownley and their staff for their support, as demonstrated above, this past year related to Harvard Blvd. Project funding.

2. Lay the foundation and advocate for our 2023 CDS/CPF request(s). Staff and MM are fairly certain at this time that our request will be centered on the soon-to-begin MESA Tanks project, estimated to cost $5.5 million dollars. Every federal dollar received for this project will directly impact future ratepayer costs. As such, another award of funding could be a big win for Santa Paula residents in the grand scheme of this project.

3. Show our legislators, in person, that Santa Paula needs their support and assistance for our projects. Their support of funding for Santa Paula directly impacts the residents and rate payers.
67 4. We differentiate Santa Paula amongst our peers in Ventura County, who typically receive "the lion's share" of federal funding for their projects, by showing our legislators how important this funding means to our community.

5. Support Council's current two-year Strategic Plan, Section C. Infrastructure, Transportation & Mobility - to maintain and develop the City's infrastructure to be safe, sustainable, innovative, and cost-efficient.

Travel Request Logistics
Per the adopted Travel Policy, any personnel attending an event out of state requires the authorization of City Council. The expectation is Mayor Sobel and City staff, Jonathan Royas, Management Analyst, who also functions as the City's legislative analyst, would represent the City.

The expected dates of travel would take place during one of the following weeks:

March 6 - 10, 2023
March 13 - 17, 2023
March 20 - 24, 2023
The trip duration would be a total of two nights and three days with a tentative itinerary as follows:

Day 1
Fly out to Washington, D.C. in the afternoon
Day 2
Meet with staff and Senator Feinstein
Meet with staff and Senator Padilla
Meet with staff and Congresswoman Brownley
Day 3
Fly home
Travel Request Estimated Costs
MM recommends the following estimated costs:

Flight: A roundtrip, nonstop flight from LAX – DCA (aka. “National” or “Ronald Reagan Airport”) is no less than $600 per ticket, at the moment. A flight from Burbank will likely cost more. Estimate $2,000 for travel.

Travel in DC: Uber/Lift/Taxi to and from the airport and travel during the day. We would set aside no less than $50 for taxi/uber travel per day, $100-$150 over the visit.

Meals: A standard per diem of at least $72 per person per day.

Hotels: For 2 rooms for 2 nights, these rooms range between $600 - $800 dollars total.

Estimate setting aside $1,000 to allow for maximum opportunity.

MM recommends another $500 - $1,000 for maximum flexibility.

This brings the total trip request to approximately $3,700 - $4,200. Again, staff does not expect the entire trip to cost this much, however, staff wants to be be realistic about current costs. 68 After the conclusion of the trip, staff and/or Mayor Sobel can report back to Council any outcomes from the trip.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

While approval of this item does not specifically support an objective in City Council's two-year Strategic Plan, this item does support City Council's goal to "Maintain and develop the City's infrastructure to be safe, sustainable, innovative, and cost-efficient.," under Section C.

Infrastructure, Transportation & Mobility.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The City Council's budget (GL 100-5-0501-352) for Training/Workshops/Meetings and the City Manager's budget (GL 100-5-0511-352) for Training/Workshops/Meetings have sufficient allocation for the total cost of travel, lodging, transportation and per diem for this travel request which is estimated to be no more than $4,200 total. The Mayor and City staff will utilize the most economic means of transportation and lodging available. No additional allocation is requested at this time.

PERSONAL IMPACTS:

This trip will take place during the course of conducting regular business on behalf of City of Santa Paula. No overtime costs are associated with this trip.

OPTIONS:

As an alternative to Staff's recommendation, the City Council may:

1. Decline to authorize out-of-state travel to Washington, D.C., which may reduce the City's chances of legislators' support of its 2023 CDS and CPF requests.

Subject: AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SANTA CLARA RIVER TMDL MEMORANDUM

OF AGREEMENT
Date: February 15, 2023
Agenda Item: 8.E

CITY OF SANTA PAULA

MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 3 to the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to provide for equal cost sharing to fund the Santa Clara River (SCR) Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Monitoring and Reporting Program.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to the Federal Clean Water Act, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB), on July 10, 2010, established a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Indicator Bacteria in the Santa Clara River (SCR) Estuary and Reaches 3, 5, 6, and 7 (Resolution No. R10-006). The Cities of Fillmore, Oxnard, Santa Paula, Ventura, County of Ventura, and the Ventura County Watershed Protection District are identified under this TMDL as the parties responsible for in-stream and outfall compliance monitoring and reporting at the SCR Estuary and Reach 3. The combined responsibility is in accordance with the Final InStream Compliance Monitoring Plan for Santa Clara River Estuary and Reach 3 Bacteria TMDL, dated May 10, 2016, and in Appendix A “Outfall Monitoring Plan” of “Indicator Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load Draft Implementation Plan for the Lower Santa Clara River Watershed,” dated March 21, 2015.

On January 9, 2017, the City approved a MOA among the cities of Fillmore, Oxnard, Santa Paula, Ventura, and County of Ventura (MOA Parties) to provide equal cost sharing for the SCR Bacteria TMDL monitoring and reporting program. For its share, Santa Paula agreed to contribute $6,405.30 per year. The MOA was retroactively effective starting October 5, 2016 with an end date of October 4, 2021.

On September 7, 2018, the City approved Amendment No. 1 to the MOA, effective September 14, 2018, to include additional outfall monitoring activities to ongoing receiving water monitoring through October 4, 2021. For its equal share, Santa Paula agreed to contribute a not-to-exceed amount of $13,011.82 per year.

On October 6, 2021, the City approved Amendment No. 2 to the MOA, continuing funding for 70 monitoring and reporting requirements, extending the MOA eighteen months to March 21, 2023, and adding the Ventura County Watershed Protection District as a funding party.

Amendment No. 2 went into effect on October 4, 2021 and, for its equal share, Santa Paula agreed to contribute a not-to-exceed amount of $13,895.00 per year.

On July 23, 2021, the LARWQCB adopted a Regional Municipal Stormwater Permit, which requires the City to comply with SCR Bacteria TMDL.

ANALYSIS:

The current MOA expires on March 21, 2023. The funding parties met in December 2022, and agreed to seek the extension of this MOA through Amendment No. 3 for continued monitoring and reporting requirements for the SCR Bacteria TMDL.

The proposed Amendment No. 3 to the MOA (Exhibit A), for the Cities of Fillmore, Oxnard, Santa Paula, Ventura, County of Ventura, and Ventura County Watershed Protection District extends the term of the MOA for twenty-four months (or two years), with a new ending date of March 21, 2025.

The twenty-four month total cost for all parties to continue receiving water and outfall monitoring is estimated at $260,097, including a five percent administration fee for the County of Ventura as the administrative Lead Agency as shown in the table on Exhibit A-1 of Amendment No. 3 to the MOA. County staff will administer any contracts and agrees to act as the Lead Agency with fiscal responsibilities through March 21, 2025.

Each funding Party agrees to equal cost-share contributions of $13,206.62 in Fiscal Year 2024-25. A carryover balance $180,857.28 from prior contributions will cover the City’s FY 2023-24 contribution under Amendment No. 3.

Based upon past participation in this MOA, Staff believes it is advantageous to continue participation as it has allowed limited City stormwater program resources to be leveraged with other SCR MOA funding Parties, and maintaining compliance with the City’s TMDL SCR Bacteria requirements. Therefore, Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed Amendment No. 3 to the MOA to continue implementing the SCR Bacteria TMDL monitoring and reporting program.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is not a goal or objective in City Council’s two-year Strategic Plan, however, approval of this item is essential for remaining in compliance with all stormwater quality requirements of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB).

FISCAL IMPACTS:

A total of $13,206.62 (in Fiscal Year 2024-25) over the term of MOA Amendment No. 3. These costs will be incorporated into future years' budgets in Fund 205 NPDES Stormwater and will be funded via franchise fee payments for stormwater.

OPTIONS:

The Council has the following available alternative option to Staff’s recommendation:
71 1. Do not authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 3 to the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to provide for equal cost sharing to fund the Santa Clara River (SCR) Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Monitoring and Reporting Program. This may result in higher costs to the City, as the City will then need to secure separate independent consultant services and staffing to provide similar monitoring and reporting services required under the SCR Bacteria TMDL regulations.

Subject: RESOLUTION NO. 7432, AMENDING THE CITY OF SANTA PAULA

PERSONNEL RULES AND REGULATIONS TO INCORPORATE A NEW

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
Date: February 15, 2023
Agenda Item: 8.F

CITY OF SANTA PAULA

MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 7432 to amend the City of Santa Paula Personnel Rules and Regulations to incorporate a new Social Media policy.

BACKGROUND:

On October 4, 1965, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 1967 which established Personnel Rules and Regulations (Rules) for the City of Santa Paula. As with other policies, the Rules need to be updated periodically to address changes in the law, best practices and City operations.

Staff began working on a comprehensive review of the Rules in 2020 and has since vetted proposed revisions through employee unions and management staff and brought amendments to the Rules to Council for adoption periodically. As time permits, staff will continue to work on these revisions and will be proposing additional amendments to the Rules for the Council’s consideration in the months to come.

This evening Council is asked to consider adoption of a social media policy for incorporation into the Rules.

ANALYSIS:

With social media becoming one of the most defining technologies of our time and an important part of how the City disseminates information to the residents of Santa Paula, staff feels it is timely that the City of Santa Paula creates its first citywide Social Media Policy through the adoption of Resolution No. 7432 and amend the City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations to introduce a new section 9.1, Social Media.

While staff recognizes that social media creates opportunities for community engagement, interpersonal connection, and self-expression, it can also create risk and responsibilities.

Taking that into consideration, the social media policy is intended to establish guidelines for 86 the establishment of use of social media by employees that are tasked as part of their job with disseminating information from the City, about the City, its events and activities, to the residents of Santa Paula, through a City owned social media account. The social media policy is also intended to address matters associated with employee use of personal social media sites, while supporting employees right to freedom of speech. This policy is to provide guidelines for the regulation and balance of employee speech and expression with the legitimate needs of the City, while also establishing a clear expectation of the City’s code of conduct. The social media policy has been written to align with already existing policies within the adopted City's Personnel Rules & Regulations and the expectation that as public employees, all City employees are expected to conduct themselves in a way that best represents the City at all times.

The goals of the City of Santa Paula Social Media Policy ("Policy") are to:

Provide clear guidelines for employees when using personal or City-owned social media accounts, as to how the City expects their social media presence to reflect the values of the City.

Help promote a respectful work environment and professional City image.

Protect the City’s confidential information and privacy rights of employees, customers and those conducting business with the City.

Enhance and/or complement other City policies (e.g. code of conduct).

Upon City Council adoption of the Policy, the Policy will be incorporated as section 9.1 of the Rules. The Rules will be renumbered to take into account the new added section.

The City has fulfilled its obligation to provide affected unions with an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed modifications; indeed SEIU actively participated in amending the original draft language to its current form. Once adopted, staff will share a copy of the Policy with employees to make them aware of the new policy.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Adoption of the proposed Social Media Policy furthers the following goal and objective of the City's Two-Year Strategic Plan:

G. Operational Excellence, Goal: Provide provide excellent service to the community in a costeffective manner with an engaged workforce with a focus on continuous improvement and outstanding customer service.

Objective 5: Complete an update to the City Personnel Policies and Procedures to make sure they are compliant with federal and state statutes.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The adoption of the proposed resolution, which will revise the City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations, will not have any fiscal impact.

OPTIONS:

As an alternative to Staff's recommendation, Council may:
87 1. Deny the recommendation; and/or

2. Provide Staff with further direction.

TO RESOLUTION NO. 7432
90 Social Media Policy

PURPOSE
The City of Santa Paula embraces the secure use of social media to enhance communication, streamline processes, and increase productivity. This policy establishes the City’s position on issues associated with the use of social media and to provide guidelines for its management, administration, and oversight.

Nothing in this policy is intended to prohibit or infringe upon any communication, speech, or other expression that is protected or privileged under law. This includes expression protected under State or Federal constitutions as well as labor or other applicable laws. This policy will be construed and applied in a manner that avoids violating said laws.

STATEMENT OF POLICY
Social media provides a potentially valuable means of assisting the City of Santa Paula and its various departments and personnel in meeting community outreach, service delivery, problemsolving, investigative, crime prevention, and related objectives. This policy identifies potential uses that may be explored or expanded upon as deemed reasonable by administrative and supervisory personnel. The City also understands that its employees use social media in their personal lives—to share events, to communicate, and to discuss their opinions with others, including family, friends, and co-workers. The personal use of social media can have an impact on that individual’s work for the City, the work of other City employees and officials, and on City government generally. The use of social media presents certain risks and carries with it certain responsibilities. This policy provides information of a precautionary nature as well as prohibition on certain uses of social media by City employees.

A. DEFINITION
“Social media” means internet technologies that facilitate and promote interactive communication, participation, and collaboration. Examples of social media include, but are not limited to, blogs, social networking sites (e.g., Facebook, Instagram), photo and video sharing sites (e.g., Flickr, YouTube, TikTok), microblogging sites (e.g., Twitter), podcasts, as well as comments posted on the sites.

B. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN USING SOCIAL MEDIA

TECHNOLOGY ON THE JOB, THROUGH A CITY-SANCTIONED PRESENCE 91 1. Strategy
a. The head of each City department will determine whether to create a social media presence for that department and, if so, determine a strategy in coordination with the City Manager’s Department.
b. Where possible, each social media page shall include an introductory statement that clearly specifies the purpose and scope of the department’s presence on the website.
c. Where possible, the page(s) should link to the department’s official website.

2. Procedures
a. All City department social media sites or pages shall be approved by the department head or his or her designee and shall be administered by the department head or as otherwise determined.
b. Where possible, social media pages shall clearly indicate they are maintained by the department and shall have department contact information prominently displayed.
c. Social media content shall adhere to applicable laws, regulations, and policies, including all information technology and records management policies.
d. Where possible, social media pages should state that the opinions expressed by visitors to the page(s) do not reflect the opinions of the department. i. Pages shall clearly indicate that posted comments will be monitored and that the department reserves the right to remove obscenities, offtopic comments, and personal attacks. ii. Pages shall clearly indicate that any content posted or submitted for posting is subject to public disclosure.

3. Uses

Employees shall observe and abide by all copyright, trademark, and service mark restrictions in posting materials to electronic media.

C. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS,

INCLUDING USING SOCIAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY THROUGH PERSONAL

ACCOUNTS OR FOR PERSONAL REASONS

1. Barring federal or state law, nothing in this policy is meant to infringe on employee’s rights to free speech under the First Amendment. The City understands that under First Amendment protections, employees generally have the right to speak out on matters of public concern or importance during their personal time.

While we value employee privacy and a diversity of perspectives across our workforce, employees are reminded that their personal social media sites should remain personal in nature and be used to share personal opinions, non-work related confidential information. Following this principle helps ensure a distinction between sharing personal and City views. Employees must never use their City email account in conjunction with personal social media accounts.

2. Consistent with City personnel policies, employees are reminded that the City has zero tolerance for harassment, discrimination, retaliation or implied threats of physical harm, or hate speech as protected by applicable federal or state law, by any City employee against any co-worker or anyone doing business with the City. 93 This can include speech or endorsement of behavior that is derogatory or promotes violence towards a group of people based on a protected class. Other examples of such conduct include posts that could contribute to a hostile work environment on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, or any other status protected by law or City policies or include material that would make a reasonable person afraid for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family. Violation of the law, or City established policies and standards that help promote a respectful, professional and safe work environment for all City employees and residents can lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

3. . To the extent your social media use impacts City employees and clients, follow City policies and regulations as applicable, including but not limited to those that protect individual privacy rights, and other relevant City policies.

4. As public employees, City employees are cautioned that speech on- or off-duty, made pursuant to their official duties—that is, that owes its existence to the employee’s professional duties and responsibilities—is not protected speech under the First Amendment and may form the basis for discipline if deemed detrimental to the City. Employees are expected to be attentive and careful in their use of social media. Employees are not permitted to represent that they are speaking on behalf of the City without express authorization to do so. City employees shall not post, transmit, or otherwise disseminate any confidential information to which they have access as a result of their employment without written permission from their department head or his or her designee.

5. City employees should be mindful when posting scenarios with photographs of themselves in uniform and/or displaying official identification, patches, or badges, marked/unmarked vehicles.

6. Keep in mind that you are more likely to resolve work-related complaints by speaking directly with your co-workers or via other channels such as by speaking with the City’s Human Resource Department, or by filing an internal complaint or grievance, if applicable.

7. When posting complaints or criticism on issues of p public concern, avoid material or expression deemed obscene in which case it is not protected First Amendment rights to free speech. For content to be ruled obscene, it must meet a threepronged test established by the Supreme Court: It must appeal to an average person's prurient interest; depict or describe sexual conduct in a "patently offensive" way; and, taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.

8. When using social media, City employees should be mindful that their speech becomes part of the worldwide electronic domain. City employees are prohibited from the following:
94 a. Speech involving themselves or other City employees reflecting behavior that would reasonably be considered reckless or irresponsible in accordance to City personnel rules and policies.
b. Disclosing confidential information would violate the rights of the City, a City client, City employee, or member of the public. For example, do not disclose another individual’s social security number, medical information, or financial information in violation of that person’s rights.

9. City employees may not make any statements, speeches, appearances, or endorsements, or publish materials, that could reasonably be considered to represent the views or positions of the city without express authorization. If you publish a blog or post on line related to the work you do or subjects associated with City, make it clear that you are not speaking on behalf of the City.

10. If you want to keep your personal life separate from your professional or work life, use privacy settings to restrict personal information on public sites. Consider whom you invite or accept to join your social network as those individuals will have access to your profile, photographs, etc.

11. Understand that even if you have a private setting, those you invite into your network can easily print, save, cut, paste, modify, or publish anything you post.

Material can be archived on the internet even after you remove it.

12. Members of the Police Department should be aware that activities on personal social media sites may be used against them to undermine their credibility as members of the Department, interfere with official police business, compromise ongoing investigations, and affect their employment status with the Department.

Furthermore, information (including digital images) released on social media may endanger the safety of members of the Department and/or their families.

Accordingly, in addition to the rules set out above, members of the Police Department will comply Policy 340 of the SPPD Policy Manual, as well as with the following:
a. Department members are prohibited from posting on the internet nonpublic items (e.g., witness statements, crime scene photographs, videos, etc.) that were gained as a result of their position with the Department. b. Members of the Department are prohibited from engaging in any type of social media contact with witnesses, crime victims, or lawyers associated with a matter under investigation or pending in criminal court. Such 95 communications may be deemed inappropriate or unethical and may jeopardize an ongoing investigation.

D. USING PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA AT WORK
City employees should refrain from using City’s Electronic Communications Resources or work time for personal social media use. Do not use City email addresses to register on personal social networks, blogs or other online tools utilized for personal use.

E. MEDIA CONTACT
Department Director’s and/or his or her designee may issue routine news releases and consult with the City Manager’s Office as necessary.

F. DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
Any disciplinary actions taken for violation of this Policy shall be subject to the City of Santa Paula Personnel Rules and Regulations and the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Santa Paula and Services Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 721. Violation of this Policy will not result in automatic discipline. Instead, anyone who is alleged to have violated the Policy will be subject to a fair, reasonable and impartial discipline process according to the City’s personnel rules and regulations. The City will only consider social media posts, comments and content posted after the adoption of this Policy.

MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Clete Saunier, Public Works Director
Subject: WASTEWATER SYSTEM CHLORIDE STUDY UPDATE
Date: February 15, 2023
Agenda Item:

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Receive and file the Wastewater System Chloride Study Update and Chloride Source Identification Work Plan

2. Authorize staff to proceed with the Chloride Source Identification Study Presented by: Clete J. Saunier, Public Works Director
Eileen Shields, MKN and Associates
BACKGROUND:

The Water Recycling Facility (WRF) was completed in 2010 and operates under a permit from the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) to discharge treated wastewater. The permit was amended in May 2022 (Waste Discharge Requirements R4-2018-0022-A1). The permit requires that chloride concentration in the effluent discharge be less than 110 milligrams per liter (mg/L) to meet a groundwater quality objective of 110 mg/L. Historically, the discharge has exceeded this limit, and the City received a Cease and Desist Order (CDO) for the WRF in February 2018 (CDO R4- 2018-0023-A1, amended in May 2022) requiring the discharge be brought into compliance. The CDO allows ten years for the City to achieve full compliance with the effluent chloride limit by February 8, 2028.

Over the last few years, chloride concentrations at the WRF have been dropping near, and in some cases below, the 110 mg/L concentration requirement. Figure 1 presents a chart showing approximately 10 years of chloride concentrations in the WRF treated effluent between January 2012 and September 2022. A best-fit linear trendline with R2 correlation and the chloride limit are plotted on the graph. As shown, the trendline 97 indicates effluent chloride concentrations have consistently decreased since 2012. Since 2020, some monthly averages have been below the permit limit. However, monthly average chlorides were above 110 mg/L for the last three months in 2022.

Figure 1: Santa Paula WRF Effluent Chloride Concentrations (Jan 2012 – Dec 2022) The City has been preparing to construct the Advanced Water Treatment Facility (AWTF) to meet chloride limits at an anticipated capital cost of over $20 Million and an anticipated operating and maintenance cost of over $1 Million per year. It is important to understand whether the long-term trend of decreasing chloride concentrations in WRF effluent is likely to continue or if future concentrations cannot predictably stay below the effluent limit. This trend could affect the need, or at a minimum, the design criteria for the AWTF.

In November 2022, City staff presented the Wastewater System Collection System Chloride Source Evaluation technical memorandum (TM). The TM summarized a study conducted by the City, Ventura Regional Sanitation District (VRSD), and MKN. The objective of the study was to evaluate concentrations of chloride in Santa Paula’s wastewater collection system in an attempt to identify potential sources, consider potential source control measures, and estimate whether the downward trend in chloride concentration is likely to continue. While the sampling program could not confirm the cause of reduction in chloride levels, it indicated collection system conditions will drive WRF effluent chloride concentrations. Collection system samples were routinely above 100 mg/L and some were above 110 mg/L, the current WRF chloride limit. City Council directed staff to request an extension to the interim milestones of the CDO to continue studying the collection system chloride levels and evaluate the potential for the WRF to meet the chloride limits without the AWTF Project.
98 ANALYSIS:

City staff, the City’s AWTF Project consultant, MKN, and the City’s WRF Regulatory Consultant, Larry Walker Associates (LWA), reached out to staff at the LARWQCB and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Division of Financial Assistance (DFA) and requested meetings to discuss the WRF chlorides, permit and loan requirements, and next steps.

In December 2022 and January 2023, MKN and City Staff met with staff at DFA to discuss the City’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan application. City staff described the trend of decreasing chloride concentration in the WRF effluent, with the concentration at or below the effluent limit between October 2021 and August 2022. They discussed whether the CWSRF loan could be deferred. DFA staff indicated that the final loan agreement for the City’s project was near final processing and it could be put on hold for a short time. However, the draft Intended Use Plan (IUP) for the next fiscal year of financing is anticipated to be released in April 2023. The IUP allows DFA to reallocate funding to projects that are in need and ready for construction. The draft IUP will include the proposed list of fundable projects. DFA staff indicated that if the City’s project remained on hold for long (more than a week or so), it would be taken off the fundable list and the City would need to reapply and compete for funding for the 2024/2025 fiscal year.

Based on the previous CWSRF loan application process, this is anticipated to add at least 18 – 24 months to the project schedule (pushing construction completion to December 2026 at the earliest), and with evaluation criteria potentially changing year-to-year, there is no guarantee the City’s Project would make the list for fundable projects.

However, DFA staff also presented another option. They indicated that the City could execute the loan agreement and wait to draw the funds (which occurs by submittal of receipts and invoices for eligible costs for reimbursement) without penalty. Additionally, the construction schedule in the loan agreement can be extended. The construction dates and final reimbursement request date will be established in the final loan agreement.

Currently City staff has requested the estimated construction duration be changed to November 2024 to March 2026. Staff understands that the deadline for the final reimbursement request is typically a few months after the end of construction. If the project schedule changes as time progresses, the City can notify DFA and request an amendment to the agreement, as needed.

On January 17, 2023, MKN, LWA, and City staff met with staff from LARWQCB to discuss the City’s current Project status and WRF effluent chloride concentrations. To date, the City has met the CDO milestones. The next interim milestone is to complete and release the bid package for the AWTF project within 3 months of the final loan agreement and no later than March 30, 2023. Table 1 summarizes the CDO remedial actions and status.

After providing a project update, including recent chloride data, the City’s team asked LARWQCB staff about the potential for an extension to the CDO interim milestones to allow the City to further study chlorides in the collection system and evaluate the potential 100
for the WRF to meet effluent requirements without the AWTF. LARWQCB staff requested additional information, including a Chloride Source Identification Workplan, and indicated they would discuss the potential for an extension with their manager. A Chloride Source Identification Study would include targeted chloride and flow monitoring throughout the collection system, analyses, and an estimation of whether chlorides could be controlled within the collection system to reduce or eliminate the need for advanced treatment to comply with effluent chloride limitations at the WRF.

On January 30, 2023, LARWQCB staff notified MKN and City staff that after discussion with Regional Board management, they had determined that a revision of the CDO is not warranted. MKN followed up with LARWQCB staff by phone and they further discussed the City’s and LARWQCB’s positions. MKN confirmed with LARWQCB that penalties for violation of interim milestones are not mandatory, and whether or not to impose penalties for not complying with CDO interim milestones is discretionary for LARWQCB staff.

At this time, the following are the main options for City Council to consider:

Option 1: Complete Chloride Source Identification Study to Explore Chloride Control Strategies (Recommended)
City Staff and MKN recommend City Council direct staff to complete the Chloride Source Identification Study. Due to the consistent linear downward trend of WRF effluent chlorides, the frequency in which the chloride effluent limit has been met within the last eighteen months, and the capital and ongoing costs of the proposed AWTF Project, MKN and City staff recommend the City further investigate the potential to control chlorides within the collection system. In the meantime, it is recommended that the City continue to work towards execution of a final CWSRF loan agreement. It may not be possible to achieve reliable chloride control within the collection system. Ultimately, additional studies may conclude that additional treatment at the WRF is recommended to ensure consistent compliance with the effluent limits. In this case, the AWTF design criteria would likely need to be revised. DFA management have verbally indicated in meetings that as long as the general scope of the project has not substantially changed, the CWSRF Loan could still be used to finance a smaller AWTF Project and the loan amount amended as needed.

The Chloride Source Identification Workplan (Exhibit A) includes the following steps:

1. Review Existing Information and Develop Initial Load Estimates

2. Develop Monitoring Plan

3. Inventory Commercial and Industrial Users

4. Quantify Chlorides Sources

5. Identify Control Strategies

6. Prepare Report
Staff anticipates the Chloride Source Identification Study will take seven to nine months to complete, depending on laboratory turn-around times and stakeholder review times. If the assessment determines the AWTF is recommended, and if City Council agrees to 101
continue development of the AWTF Project, it is estimated that a revised design will take approximately nine months to complete and cost roughly $800,000 - $1.2M. Therefore, if the AWTF Project is required, we anticipate a delay of 16 to 18 months to release of a bid package, and at least two of the CDO interim milestones would be missed (complete and release the bid package for AWTF; and Select and award contract for construction of AWTF, putting the City at risk of penalties for violation of the CDO requirements).

However, the final CDO compliance deadline of February 8, 2028 would still be met.

The advantages to this option include:
• AWTF could be discontinued, or project size could be reduced. • High capital and operating costs for AWTF could be avoided or reduced.

The disadvantages to this option include:
• Chloride levels may not continue to decline.
• City may not be able to identify and control significant chloride sources. • At least two CDO interim milestones will be missed.
• If AWTF Project is ultimately needed, the delay could increase capital costs, as future capital costs are uncertain.

Option 2: Move Forward with Current AWTF Project
City Council could elect to continue forward with the current AWTF Project. Having advanced treatment at the WRF would help ensure compliance with effluent chloride limits going into the future. However, based on more recent data, the current AWTF Project appears oversized. Design criteria was selected in April 2020 and includes an influent chloride concentration of 133 mg/L. Completion of the bid package is dependent on the final loan agreement, which DFA staff have indicated would come sometime in March. Once received, City staff will review with legal counsel and bond counsel, and work with MKN to complete the Project bid package. City staff would bring the item to City Council to request authorization to execute the final loan agreement and advertise the project for bid.

The advantages to this option include:
• More likely to meet the CDO interim milestone.
• Ensures effluent chloride limits can be met.
• Improves water quality for future reuse opportunities. • Ensures SRF financing.
• Better cost control than deferring to the future.

The disadvantages to this option include:
• AWTF Project may not be needed if chlorides continue to decline. • Current AWTF Project may be oversized.
• High capital cost.
• High operating cost.
102
Under either option, City staff will work closely with DFA to continue forward with the CWSRF Loan, and with LARWQCB staff to keep the Regional Board updated on the City’s efforts toward compliance.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

The agenda report does not directly address the strategic goals within the City’s adopted Strategic Plan
FISCAL IMPACTS:

If Option 1 is pursued, capital and operating costs for the AWTF could be eliminated if chloride concentrations stay below effluent limits, or reduced if a smaller AWTF project is needed. The cost range for Option 1, assuming the AWTF Project can be discontinued, is estimated to be approximately $130,000 – 200,000 for the Study and monitoring/lab costs. This estimate is a rough cost based on similar studies and will be refined once a monitoring plan is developed and sampling and lab costs can be identified. Ongoing monitoring costs could be incurred if additional permittees are enrolled under the City’s Pretreatment Program.

If Option 1 is pursued and it is determined that a smaller AWTF Project is needed, costs are anticipated to range from $930,000 to $1.4M for the Study and redesign. Potential cost savings from reduced capital and operating costs are unknown. However, the current AWTF operating costs are estimated to be $1.2M. If the AWTF project can be reduced by even 25%, the annual operating costs could be reduced by a similar rate, resulting in a payback of 3 to 5 years. If chloride concentrations exceed the limits, capital and operating costs for the AWTF could be incurred and may be higher due to cost escalation or higher financing costs.

If Council directs staff to pursue Option 2 and construct the AWTF without conducting the Chloride Source Identification Workplan, there would be no additional fiscal impact to the AWTF project.

OPTIONS:

The Council has the options as outlined above, or the Council may direct staff to proceed in an alternative direction and return to Council at a later date.

Chloride Source Identification Work Plan

Santa Paula Chloride Source Identification Work Plan January 2023 Page 1 of 2 City of Santa Paula
Chloride Source Identification Work Plan
The City of Santa Paula has been working since 2015 to reduce sources of chloride in the influent to its Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) so that the WRF effluent will not cause or contribute to an exceedance of the chloride water quality objective of 110 mg/L in the receiving groundwater. These efforts are in accordance with the requirements of the City’s Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR, Order No. R4-2018-0022-A1) and Cease and Desist Order (CDO, Order No. R4-2018-0023-A1). Effluent chloride levels have been steadily decreasing to the point of being close to and often below the effluent chloride limit of 110 mg/L. Some of this reduction is due to the water softener removal program implemented from 2015-2019 but additional chloride reductions have been observed in recent years that do not appear to be associated with water softener removals.

The City is evaluating the best approach for ensuring that effluent chloride levels will consistently comply with the effluent limit of 110 mg/L. One approach to ensuring consistent compliance is through constructing an advanced treatment process (i.e., reverse osmosis) to treat the WRF effluent. In addition, the City is evaluating influent chloride sources to determine if there are additional, feasible control strategies that would result in the chloride reductions needed to achieve consistent compliance.

To further evaluate chloride sources and feasible source control strategies, the City will implement the following work plan.

PROPOSED WORK PLAN
The source evaluation will be conducted according to the following tasks.

Task 1. Review Existing Information and Develop Initial Load Estimate The City will review existing information, including collection system and influent data collected in 2022, water supply and industrial user data, technical reports compiled by the City and its consultants, previous estimates of water softener contributions, and other readily available information on chloride sources in the City. A literature review will be conducted to identify chloride uses and to obtain any quantitative data on amounts used or discharged by different types of businesses. Past efforts by other agencies (e.g. City of Fillmore, Los Angeles County Sanitation District, etc.) will also be reviewed for relevant information.

This information will be used to develop an initial chloride mass balance and estimate of loading contributions from different chloride sources. Chloride sources will be evaluated with respect to controllability and if it is possible that sufficient reductions can be achieved to result in consistent compliance with the effluent limit of 110 mg/L.
105
Santa Paula Chloride Source Identification Work Plan January 2023 Page 2 of 2 Task 2. Develop Monitoring Plan
Based on the review conducted in Task 1, additional data needs will be identified. Specifically, the City will determine if additional water supply, industrial, collection systems and/or influent data is needed to complete the source identification. A monitoring plan will be prepared and monitoring would take place over a period of four to five months.

Task 3. Inventory commercial and industrial users
In parallel with the monitoring plan, an inventory of businesses which are potential commercial and industrial chloride sources will be compiled. This will build on information that has recently been reviewed by City staff and its consultants including information from pretreatment program materials, City business licenses, and other information that may be available on commercial and industrial sources.

Task 4. Quantify Chloride Sources
Building on the information developed in Task 1 and supplementing it with information obtained from Tasks 2 and 3, the total contribution from identified sources to chloride influent levels will be estimated using estimated discharges (from Task 1 or monitoring results from Task 2) and the inventory of businesses (from Task 3). Loadings from residential sources, including contribution from water softeners, and the water supply will be estimated based on literature values, service area population, and monitoring data if collected. These estimates will be used to identify the most significant chloride sources to the influent loadings.

Task 5. Identify Control Strategies
Regulatory and voluntary strategies that could be used to reduce the chloride discharges from the identified sources will be identified. Information regarding potential effectiveness, costs, and other factors influencing the applicability of the strategies will be collected to determine if source control in combination with planned improvements at the WRF will results in compliance with the chloride effluent limit of 110 mg/L. This information will be used to develop the mitigation plan in the next task.

Task 6. Prepare Report
Following completion of the above activities, a Technical Memorandum describing the source identification efforts and the mitigation plan for achieving compliance will be prepared.

SCHEDULE
The proposed work plan consists of six major tasks, beginning with a review of available information and assessment of additional data needs and followed by a monitoring phase to be conducted from March – June 2023. A business inventory will be conducted in parallel with the monitoring phase. The estimation of residential and commercial contributions and a mitigation plan can be completed by the end of September 2023.

CITY OF SANTA PAULA

MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Receive and file the Asset Management System Implementation Report Presented by: Alexander Wallsten, Public Works Administrative Analyst I BACKGROUND:

On Feb. 3, 2022, the City of Santa Paula entered into an Agreement with MaintStar Inc. for software licensing and implementation of a Computerized Maintenance Management System.

The purpose of the management software is to meet the City’s needs in managing data related to field inspections, infrastructure asset management, work order management, lifecycle management, asset criticality, asset condition projections, budget scenarios, and reporting.

The benefits of adopting an asset management system included improved operations and maintenance scheduling, up-to-date records for field and office staff, improved tracking and planning asset replacements, and a more informed process for capital improvement projects.

The asset management system implementation officially began on April 19, 2022. A meeting was held to determine department needs and follow-up one-on-one meeting were held with each department head to review procedures, processes, and operations within the department.

A custom setup was created for each department and division upon which existing asset inventories were uploaded. In the current state, a working module was created for each department and division upon which a more refined inventory system and process can be achieved through use. Asset inventories were uploaded from the two existing softwares, ManagerPlus and MaintainX, for the Parks and Recreation Department and Fleet Division.

GIS layers were created from existing City data for Water, Stormdrain, Sewer, and Streets.

Additionally, a new procedure was developed for the utility billing process between the Finance Department and Water Division whereby both Incode and Maintstar systems are operated in the Finance Department.
107
Through a computerized asset management system, City departments will be able to track work order histories, more easily itemize inventories, and view GIS maps containing real-time asset information.

ANALYSIS:

Upon use and development of best practices, department modules can be further developed and existing data can be added. The GIS layers that have been incorporated will be part of an ongoing project within the City to continually update in-house data on physical assets, such as Water, Sewer, and Stormdrain utilities. Updates can be made over time and can be added to the existing system through consultant work on data files provided by City staff. The existing GIS layers are based on dated records found within the Public Works Department with some later dated files from Ventura Regional Sanitation District (VRSD) for Sewer system data.

These files are mostly dated from 2007, with some Sewer files from 2015. Significant updating will be necessary moving forward in order to properly record and display current asset inventories. The contracted consultant, Carollo Engineers, can be used on an as-needed basis when new batches of updated files are ready to hand over for converting.

Further work is to be done with department heads and supervisory staff in addressing module layouts to more effectively fit department needs. Routine follow-ups have been performed to help department staff address on-going issues. Changes to the modules can be made with the support of Maintstar. Additionally, the reporting module has required manual set up for each department and division in order to run the desired reports.

Department staff experienced some difficulties, as would be expected, when adapting to a completely new asset management system. Adoption dates and implementation progress varied between departments and divisions. Department and division leader support was critically needed for providing feedback and guidance to staff to overcome traditional reporting paradigms. Additional time will be needed to refine the Reports Module for some departments.

The Fleet division has requested quarterly and fiscal year reports that have yet to be completed. Coordination between the City’s Maintstar representative and department and division heads will continue until reporting can be completed as desired.

Going forward, each City department and division will need to allocate personnel time to uploading and updating information in the asset management system. Paper reporting structures will be replaced by inputting data into the cloud-based asset system. Existing paper files with asset information and/or asset histories can be manually put into the asset management system. Additional data files can be sent to Maintstar representatives for uploading into the system.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Approval of this item moves the City closer to completing City Council’s two-year Strategic Plan, Section G, Objective #3, Implement a citywide asset management system, by implementing and integrating a citywide asset management system.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

Through cost-saving measures and staff-led project management, the actual project costs for system installation and implementation are anticipated to be 44% ($77,310.99) under budget for FY 22/23. Much of the anticipated project management scope of services assigned to 108
Carollo Engineers was completed by City staff. A cost breakdown is provided below detailing project costs:

Budget FY 22/23 Projected Actual Difference
MaintStar Inc. $37,500 $37,500 ---
Carollo Engineers $138,740.24 $61,429.25 $77,310.99
TOTAL $176,240.24 $98,929.25 $77,310.99
Pursuant to the existing Professional Services Agreement ("PSA") with Carollo Engineers, Inc., the City has the unilateral option to extend the PSA for one additional year until Feb. 2, 2024. The City intends to exercise the option and use the remaining amount of approximately $77,311 budgeted to Carollo's services on an as-needed basis for additional GIS database work in accordance with the agreement's scope of services.

CITY OF SANTA PAULA

MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Receive a presentation from staff, Dr. Justin Levitt of National Demographic Corporation (NDC), and Dr. Douglas Johnson (NDC) regarding the history of the Districting process in Santa Paula, CA.

2. Allow the public to provide public comment.

Presented by: Jonathan Royas, Management Analyst
Dr. Justin Levitt, NDC
Dr. Douglas Johnson, NDC
BACKGROUND:

On January 30, 2023, the City Clerk received a letter addressed to the Mayor and City Council requesting a public hearing to discuss reconsideration of Council's decision to move to bydistrict elections (Exhibit B). At the February 1, 2023 Council meeting, Council recommended agendizing an item during the February 15, 2023 Council meeting to allow staff the opportunity to provide the community more detailed background on the history of this process in Santa Paula and other communities across California and how Council arrived at the decisions it has made thus far.

This report provides an overview of the districting process, including a summary of the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA), a brief review of CVRA litigation in California cities, and also describes the process involved in converting to by-district elections (and the related safeharbor provisions).

Tonight's presentation also affords the community the opportunity to express their input on this process via public comments, either written or verbal, before of at the meeting.

ANALYSIS:
110
California Voting Rights Act
The CVRA was signed into law in 2002 and is set forth at Elections Code sections 14025 through 14032. As of January 1, 2003, the CVRA created a new statutory scheme under California law that makes it easier for minority groups in California to prove that their votes are being diluted in “at-large” elections. At-large elections are those where the entire jurisdiction votes for each member of the public agency’s governing body.

The CVRA (like its federal counterpart) attempts to prevent the disenfranchisement of protected classes. A protected class is a class of voters who are members of a race, color, or language minority group (collectively referred to as “minority voters”). This same use of the term “protected class” is found in the federal Voting Rights Act cases.

With the passage of the CVRA, it became easier for citizens to sue public agencies if these public entities elect their members through at-large elections and if it can be proven that the votes of minority voters are being diluted. To prove a violation, plaintiffs must demonstrate “racially polarized voting.” Racially polarized voting occurs when there is a difference between the choice of candidates (or ballot measures) preferred by voters in a protected class and the choice of candidates (or ballot measures) preferred by voters in the rest of the electorate.

Proving racially polarized voting involves examining the results of elections where at least one candidate was a member of a protected class or elections involving ballot measures (or other electoral choices) that can be argued to have affected the rights and privileges of members of a protected class. The election(s) analyzed does not necessarily have to be a City election. It is important to note that while a plaintiff must establish racially polarized voting, the CVRA does not require the plaintiff to establish discriminatory intent on the City’s part, historical discrimination, or that minority voters live in a geographically compact area of the City.

The CVRA does not require eliminating at-large elections but does make use of at-large election systems more susceptible to a legal challenge. The most common legal remedy for an alleged CVRA violation is to change from an at-large system to a by-district election system.

CVRA Litigation
Numerous public agencies across the state have received demand letters, including the City of Santa Paula, alleging violations of the CVRA. Hundreds of public agencies have now changed to by-district elections as a result of litigation or threatened litigation. The primary reason why public agencies change to by-district elections is the potential exposure to attorneys’ fees (See Exhibit A).

The City of Modesto litigated the first case in the appellate courts and lost. In 2008, Modesto paid approximately $3 million in attorneys’ fees on top of additional fees to its own attorneys.

Other settlements have also been quite large. The largest we are aware of that is final is the city of Palmdale, which settled its litigation for $4.7 million. Other settlements have been smaller, but many have exceeded $100,000. Unfortunately, no public agency has won a final decision in a CVRA lawsuit. Further, even if a city were to prevail, the CVRA does not allow for the recovery of its litigation costs or attorneys' fees unless the court finds the action was frivolous, unreasonable, or without foundation.

The closest a City has come is Pico Neighborhood Association v. City of Santa Monica , which 111
involves the issue of what constitutes “dilution.” Notably, Santa Monica lost the initial lawsuit, which alleged that the city’s at-large voting system discriminates against Latino voters and sought a move to district voting. However, Santa Monica won at the appellate level with the Court of Appeal ruling that a dilution argument requires that a plaintiff show that the increase in voter power through district elections impacts election results. The case is currently pending before the California Supreme Court. So far, Santa Monica has spent an estimated $7 million in legal fees and the plaintiffs requested $22 million in legal fees after the original trial.

The Supreme Court’s review of the Santa Monica decision will be limited to determining what a plaintiff must prove in order to establish vote dilution under the CVRA. The CVRA requires plaintiffs to prove a protected class’s ability to impact voting outcomes is impaired due to the dilution of the voters' rights. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court took the unusual step of depublishing the Court of Appeal’s decision before it takes up the matter, therefore the ruling cannot be used as a precedent or relied upon by a city. In other words, a city cannot rely on the Santa Monica decision to argue that district elections will not improve minority voter representation or their preferred outcomes in elections -- ostensibly the objectives of the CRVA.

Due to the proliferation of large attorney fee awards and settlements, in 2016 the Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 350 (AB 350) to provide jurisdictions with the ability to cap attorney’s fees—so long as they expeditiously pursued the adoption of districts. Prior to AB 350 there was no limit on attorney’s fees, even for jurisdictions that agreed to convert to district-based voting. The AB 350 process, which is spelled out in further detail below, currently caps attorney’s fees at approximately $37,000 (adjusted annually by CPI), but only if a public agency converts to by-district elections within very short timeframes.

City Receipt of Demand Letter
On February 22, 2022, the City received a letter from attorney Jason Dominguez on behalf of Laura Espinosa, claiming that the City's at-large elections violate the California Voting Rights Act. Mr. Dominguez claims that the City's at-large elections are racially polarized, resulting in minority vote dilution, and therefore the at-large elections violate the CVRA. The CVRA prevented Mr. Dominguez from suing the City for 45 days following the City's receipt of the letter. This is one of the "safe harbor" periods.

Receipt of the letter, however, also triggered the requirement for the City to adopt a Resolution of Intention to Transition to By-District Elections within those 45 days. Once that resolution was adopted, it started another "safe-harbor" period that prevented Mr. Dominguez from suing the City for 90 days following passage of the resolution. This and other steps the City took are described in more detail below.

Consideration of Litigation v. Conversion to Districts
The City was and is faced with two options: (1) continue with at-large elections or (2) convert to by-district elections.

Continue with At-Large Elections
To provide an accurate evaluation of the City’s chances of success in litigation the City would 112
have needed to retain a demographer to assess the City's demographics and election history, and perform a racially polarized voting analysis. Even if the analysis came back favorably to the City, the Council would have had to consider whether it wants to take on the risk and expense of litigation. If the City had not taken action within the "safe harbor" timeframes, Mr.

Dominguez would have been free to file a lawsuit against the City. Once the lawsuit was filed, settlement or resolution would have likely cost significantly more than what was then a $33,000 limit, provided the City stayed within the "safe harbor" time frames. The high end of this risk is evident in the plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees in the Santa Monica case where they allege to have spent $22 million in attorney fees so far. Santa Monica has not disclosed its own legal fees.

Whether Mr. Dominguez would have filed suit if the City did not begin to move to by-district elections (or whether he will do so in the future if it does not move to by-district elections) is unknown. If the City ignored the letter, or responded in a manner that did not involve the conversion to by-district elections within the safe-harbor timeframes, the prospective plaintiff would have had the ability to file suit 45 days after the City received the letter. It is known that Mr. Dominguez has not litigated every single case in which CVRA litigation has been threatened, but whether he would choose to file suit against Santa Paula now likely depends on a number of factors including the result in the Santa Monica case (the timing of which is unknown), the number of other jurisdictions that have refused to timely convert to by-district elections, and other internal staffing issues and calculus known only to plaintiff's attorney.

Decision to Convert to By-District Elections
Another option City Council had available, and the option ultimately decided upon, was to convert to a by-district election system. As mentioned above, the demand letter from Mr.

Dominguez set in motion a very fast process set forth in Elections Code Section 10010:

Demand Letter. The prospective plaintiff must send, by certified mail, a written notice to the City Clerk asserting that the City violated the CVRA. Mr. Dominguez completed this step on February 11, 2022 and the City received the letter on February 22, 2022.

Response Period. The prospective plaintiff may not sue the City for at least 45 days from the City’s receipt of the written notice. The 45th day from February 22, 2022 was on April 8, 2022.

Resolution of Intention. During the 45-day period, the City Council may adopt a resolution outlining its intent to transition from an at-large to a district-based election, laying out the steps it will undertake to facilitate the transition, and providing an estimated time frame. If the City adopts such a resolution, the prospective plaintiff may not sue for at least 90 days from the date of the resolution’s adoption (although this time may be extended following negotiation and reaching an agreement). On April 6, 2022, Council adopted Resolution No. 7393, indicating its intention to change the election system from at-large to by-district elections.

Public Hearings Prior to Map(s). Before adopting district-based elections, the City must first prepare a draft map(s). But before it may even draw a map(s), the City Council must hold at least two public hearings over a period of no more than 30 days. The public must be invited to provide input regarding the districts’ composition. The City may also 113
conduct outreach to the public, including to non-English speaking communities, to explain the process and encourage public participation.

On August 3, 2022, Council held its first public hearing whereby Dr. Daniel Phillips, from NDC, shared with Council and the public a presentation on the districting process to solicit input on the neighborhoods and communities of interest in the City.

On August 17, 2022, Council held its second public hearing whereby Council received an updated presentation from staff and NDC regarding the process for developing options for City Council voting districts, provided staff and NDC direction regarding any optional criteria Council wanted to consider in the development of voting district options, and conducted a public hearing to receive public input on district boundaries. The City also held three community workshops on September 14, October 6, and December 1, 2022 to obtain input on any proposed district boundaries.

Map Drawing. After the two mandatory public hearings, the consultant would then prepare the proposed maps. The primary factors to be considered in drawing the maps are: (1) achieving approximately equal population (no more than 10% variance is typically allowed); (2) topography; (3) geography; (4) cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, and compactness of territory; and (5) “communities of interests” of the districts. Each district must be approximately the same size, using data from the 2020 census. Another factor that may be important is if there are any natural features that make sense to incorporate into, or separate, proposed districts.

A “community of interest” is defined in Section 2(d)(4) of the Article XXI of the California Constitution as:

A contiguous population which shares common social and economic interests that should be included within a shared district for purposes of its effective and fair representation. Examples of such shared interests are those common to an urban area, a rural area, an industrial area, or an agricultural area, and those common to areas in which the people share similar living standards, use the same transportation facilities, have similar work opportunities, or have access to the same media or communication relevant to the election process. Communities of interest shall not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.

Additionally, while the CVRA focuses on race and racially polarized voting, the drawing of a majority-minority district is not required. The drawing of district lines to address minority votes is one that must be done carefully as minority votes may not be diluted. Dilution can occur by “cracking,” which occurs when the minority community is fragmented across several district to prevent the minority community from winning enough seats to gain a majority of votes, or by “packing,” which occurs when a minority community is concentrated into one or two districts where their votes would cause the preferred candidate to win by an overwhelming margin.

In addition to considering the proposed district boundaries, the Council would also consider the timing and sequence of the districts, meaning which areas will have district elections first.

The change to district boundaries will not affect the terms of any incumbents. (Elections Code 21606(a).) Following the first election, the City Council would be comprised of approximately 114
half of its members elected by a district and approximately half of its members elected Citywide.

Public Hearings for Map Consideration. After the draft maps have been prepared, the City must publish and make them available. Additionally, the City must show the staggered terms of office and the potential sequence of the election (i.e., which districts will have candidates in them during the first election and the next election). The City Council must hold at least two additional public hearings over a period of no more than 45 days during which the public will be invited to provide input regarding the draft map(s) and sequence of elections. The first draft map(s) must be published at least seven days before it is considered at a public hearing. If the map is revised at or during a hearing, it must be published again and made available to the public for at least seven days before being adopted.

On January 18, 2023, a third public hearing was held and City Council reviewed and discussed draft maps of proposed districts that were submitted by members of the community. Tonight, the fourth public hearing will take place and the items discussed above will be before Council for consideration.

Map Adoption. The City Council, after selecting a map and choosing the timing and sequence of the elections, would adopt an ordinance that provides for district elections, approves the map, and takes the steps necessary to begin implementing district elections. Adoption of the ordinance requires two meetings. At the first meeting the ordinance is introduced and further reading may be waived. At the second meeting, there is a second "reading" of the ordinance and the ordinance may be adopted.

Ordinances must be introduced at a regular meeting.

As tonight is a regular meeting, Council has the option to introduce an ordinance after holding the mandatory fourth public hearing.

Written Demand for Attorneys’ Fees. After adoption of the ordinance establishing districtbased elections, the prospective plaintiff may, within 30 days of final adoption, demand reimbursement for the cost of the work product generated to support the February 22, 2022, letter threatening litigation. The demand must be in writing and substantiated with financial documentation. Within 45 days of receiving this demand, the City must reimburse the prospective plaintiff for the reasonable costs claimed, or in an amount mutually agreed to. This amount may not exceed what is now a roughly $37,000- limit.

The amount requested will very likely be the maximum permitted, and it is generally not worth the attorneys’ fees to fight over the amount to try to reduce this number (although asking for additional documentation is always a possibility).

Conclusion
In response to Mr. Dominguez's letter, on April 6, 2022, the City Council discussed its options and unanimously adopted Resolution No. 7393, indicating its intent to change the election system from at-large to by-district elections. Given the litigation risk and associated financial impact on the City, including attorneys' fees running in the millions if the City were to lose in a CVRA action, the City Council directed staff to move the districting process forward. 115
On a separate item later this evening, the fourth public hearing required by the CVRA will be held and Council will be asked to select a map and sequence of elections so that staff can prepare an ordinance for introduction and later adoption. At this time, however, Council is only being asked to receive this report and presentation and allow the public an opportunity to comment on the City's districting process.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is not a goal or objective within City Council's two-year Strategic Plan.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The City is spending approximately $100,000 on the two consulting firms assisting the City with this highly specialized districting process. On May 4, 2022, Council set aside $50,000 for anticipated expenses. Staff will be coming to Council with a mid-year budget adjustment request for an additional $50,000 to complete the districting process.

THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY REGARDING DRAFT

MAPS OF ELECTION DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, COUNCIL SELECTION

OF FINAL MAP, AND ELECTION SEQUENCING
Date: February 15, 2023
Agenda Item: 11.A

CITY OF SANTA PAULA

MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Receive an updated presentation from staff and Dr. Justin Levitt of National Demographic Corporation (NDC), regarding draft maps for City Council voting districts, to be implemented in November, 2024;

2. Conduct a public hearing to receive public input on a district map selection;

3. Make a final draft map selection;

4. Designate election years for each district; and

5. Direct staff to prepare an ordinance that adopts the selected final draft map and sets forth the election years for each district.

Presented by: Jonathan Royas, Management Analyst
Dr. Justin Levitt, NDC
BACKGROUND:

On February 22, 2022, the City received a letter from attorney Jason Dominguez on behalf of "a large segment of the population and on behalf of Laura Espinosa" demanding an end to the at-large Council election system.

In response to that letter, on April 6, 2022, the City Council discussed its options and unanimously adopted Resolution No. 7393, indicating its intent to change the election system from at-large to by-district elections. Given the litigation risk and associated financial impact on the City, the City Council directed staff to move the Districting process forward. The criteria to comply with all legal requirements to establish council district boundaries was discussed in the earlier presentation this evening.

On May 4, 2022, Council provided staff direction to work with the City's existing public relations firm and to utilize our contract with BB&K law firm to select a qualified demographer.

Through that process, National Demographics Corporation (NDC), was selected. 122
As required by Elections Code Section 10010, the City will hold at least two (2) public hearings and a community workshop prior to the release of draft maps of Council election districts, followed by a community workshop and two additional Council hearings to solicit public input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections. Then an additional public hearing will be held prior to the approval of an ordinance that provides for district elections, approves the Council-selected map, and sets forth the steps to implement district elections.

On August 3, 2022, Council held its first public hearing whereby Dr. Daniel Phillips, from NDC, shared with Council and the public a presentation on the Districting process to solicit input on the neighborhoods and communities of interest in the City.

On August 17, 2022, Council held its second public hearing whereby Council received an updated presentation from staff and NDC regarding the process for developing options for City Council voting districts; provided staff and NDC direction regarding any optional criteria Council wanted to consider in the development of voting district options; and conducted a public hearing to receive public input on district boundaries.

Community Outreach
The City and consultant team of NDC and Tripepi Smith kicked off the Districting process the week of June 3, 2022 with the website www.drawsantapaula.org going live and outreach coordination initiated. Additionally, the email [email protected] was also set up to begin receiving communications from the public in one central location. As a result, the City leveraged a full array of outreach platforms to connect with the public.

To date, the City has reached the community through the following:

Email and/or phone contact with nearly 120 community leaders, organizations, residents and media contacts to proactively outreach to key stakeholders with districting related information.

Rollout of the districting website, DrawSantaPaula.org, where extensive resources are available for the public to learn about the districting process, access all meeting materials and meeting information, draw maps based upon their understanding of communities of interest and submit them for consideration by City Council.

Distributed an online neighborhood survey to develop a list of neighborhoods and “communities of interest" – DrawSantaPaula.org/Neighborhood-Survey 33 social media posts in English and Spanish published across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Nextdoor from July 1, 2022 – February 7, 2023.

Six flyers in English and Spanish to promote upcoming community meetings.

Four press releases in English and Spanish distributed to the City’s media contacts.

Six Channel 10 advertisements to promote upcoming community meetings.

Four community meetings to discuss the Districting process and gather public input on neighborhoods and "communities of interest."
Publication of a mapping tool in English and Spanish in the Santa Paula Times to solicit draft maps.

It is important to note all materials, social media posts, community workshops, and activities related to the Districting process were conducted in both English and Spanish to maximize our public engagement.
123
In addition, the City hosted four community workshops to educate and engage the community on the Districting process and demonstrate how to use the map drawing tools provided by the consultant team. Below are the details of the four workshops.

Public Hearings
In accordance with the FAIR MAPS Act, City Council has held three public hearings to inform the public about the Districting process and to hear from the community on what factors should be taken into consideration when creating City Council district boundaries.

During the January 18, 2023 public hearing, City Council reviewed and discussed draft maps of proposed districts that were submitted by members of the community. After receiving public testimony, the Council narrowed the list of draft maps under consideration from fourteen (14) to six (6) focus maps, those being Maps 101, 102, 104, 105, 108, and 113. In addition, Council provided feedback and direction to staff and NDC to make modifications to Map 113 and create a new map (Map 115 - Exhibit C) based on input that evening.

ANALYSIS:

Districting Rules and Goals
The community was encouraged to submit proposed maps for the January 18, 2023 public hearing for Council’s initial consideration and discussion, which included maps and feedback on "communities of interest." After the third public hearing, the community was encouraged once again to submit draft maps for consideration by February 1, 2023 at 6:30pm.

Public comment received on this process since January 18, 2023 is included as Exhibit A for Council's review.

State and Federally Mandated Map Criteria
A "community of interest" is a neighborhood or group that would benefit from being in the same district because of shared interests, views, or characteristics. Possible community features include, but are not limited to:
124
School attendance areas;
Natural dividing lines such as major roads, waterways, train tracks, hills, or highways; Areas around parks and other neighborhood landmarks;
Common issues, neighborhood activities, or legislative/election concerns; and Shared demographic characteristics, such as:

Similar levels of income, education, or linguistic insolation; Languages spoken at home; and
Single-family and multi-family housing unit areas.

Additionally, the City must ensure compliance with the following state and federally-mandated criteria:

Federal
Each district shall contain a nearly equal population.

Each district shall be drawn in a manner that complies with the Federal Voting Rights Act.

Each district shall not be drawn with race as the predominant factor in violation of the principles established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993), and its progeny.

State
Each district shall be contiguous.

Each district should avoid dividing neighborhoods and communities of interest.

Each district should be bordered by easily identifiable boundaries such as major roads or rivers. Each district should be compact.

Districts shall not be drawn to favor or disfavor a political party.

It should also be noted, in addition to the legal criteria, City Council may choose to adopt optional criteria to be used in the development of the districts. Optional criteria varies by community--some direct that specific criteria be used in addition to the legal criteria, while others use only the legal criteria. Examples of provided optional criteria that have been used in other communities are as follows:

The boundaries of the districts may consider avoiding pairing two or more incumbents in a single district, insofar as this does not conflict with the constitution and laws of the State of California and the United States.

To maintain a longer-term population balance, districts known to be areas of higher thanaverage population growth following districting may be under-populated within the population deviation amounts allowed by law.

The boundaries of the districts may comply with such other factors which become known during the districting process and are formally adopted by the City Council.

Final Draft City Council District Maps
The City and the consultant team accepted additional draft maps from the public for this fourth public hearing up until February 1, 2023. Prior to the February 1, 2023 deadline, a total of four (4) draft maps (Maps 116, 117, 118 and 119) were submitted by the public (Exhibit B). After careful review and analysis by NDC, three (3) of the submitted draft maps (Maps 117, 118 and 125
119) meet the requirements of the CVRA described above, and one (1) map, Map 116, does not as it is not a contiguous map.

As a result, ten (10) total maps meet the requirements of the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) as described above and are attached as Exhibit C for Council's consideration. Exhibit C contains the (6) focus maps, those being Maps 101, 102, 104, 105, 108, and 113. In addition, Council provided feedback and direction to staff and NDC to make modifications to Map 113 and as a result created Map 115, based on input from Council on January 18, 2023.

In addition, newly submitted Maps 117, 118 and 119 are available for consideration. Each of the proposed maps have been posted on the City’s Districting webpage for public access and review (www.drawsantapaula.org).

Staff and the demographer are requesting the City Council hold a public hearing, take testimony from the public and select its preferred map, designate their preferred election sequence years for each district, and direct staff to prepare a proposed ordinance establishing five districts for election of five City Councilmembers to be implemented in November, 2024.

Following this first election, the City Council will be compromised of roughly half its members elected by district and the rest of its members elected City-wide. The change to district boundaries will not affect the terms of any incumbents.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is not a goal or objective within City Council's two-year Strategic Plan.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The City is spending approximately $100,000 on the two consulting firms assisting the City with this highly specialized districting process. On May 4, 2022, Council set aside $50,000 for anticipated expenses. Staff will be coming to Council with a mid-year budget adjustment request for an additional $50,000 to complete the districting process.

OPTIONS:

In addition to Staff's recommendation, City Council has the following options available for consideration:

1. Narrow down the pool of potential final maps for adoption and postpone introduction of an ordinance until a final map has been selected.

2. Take other action related to this item.

Hello,
My name is Austin Auger and I had submitted my districting idea for Santa Paula via a share link from 'Dave's Redistricting' (https://davesredistricting.org/join/a715a7e5-b32a-42fb-8f7f-f903a42d6fae) but I haven't seen it appear yet on the city's website for review. Perhaps it just takes time to update the site, but just wanted to ensure that my submission made it in before the cutoff date/time.

Thank you kindly for your time.

Cheers,

Yes this map has been received and is being processed for posting. One thing that you may want to address, however, is the two non-contiguous parts of the map (as you can see from the colors on the map, the green and yellow districts are not contiguous). We recognize there is a bug in the DRA system where the analytics screen does not correctly classify contiguous and non-contiguous maps, but thankfully contiguity is easily determined simply by looking at the map. If you wish to adjust the map so that those two districts are contiguous, the City would welcome that amended submission as long as it arrives by the 6:30pm deadline on Feb. 1.

And thank you for your interest in this important process for the city! - Douglas Johnson

Hello Mr. Johnson,
Thank you for your response and analytical review of my districting map and suggestions.

I wrestled myself with conceptualizing this map draw up, as the key to this indeed relied upon the definition of "contiguous." On one hand, you can take contiguous to mean it blatantly like you are interpreting here with like places/colors needing to be in like packages and touching. On the other hand, I took contiguous to mean the touching of all 'census tracts,' which in this case all of the districts represent contiguous census tracts and are of balanced populations under that 10% threshold.
132

So now I am curious, does the actual law stipulate districting continuity based upon physical location, or by the census tracts that that location actually resides in?
With this all said, the ambiguity that I am left in currently, and with time not on my side, I think I'd like to just keep my map drawn up as it is please.

I thank you again kindly for you time and help that you are providing to our city here! Kind Regards,

Good Morning,
I am still not quite sure why our small community needs to go to districting…we have such a mix population in all neighborhoods.

Anyway, I am in favor of #104 proposal.
