City of Scotts Valley
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: 1/15/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mali LaGoe, City Manager
APPROVED: Mali LaGoe, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve the 2025 Scotts Valley Interjurisdictional Committee, Commission, Board and Council appointments, Standing Committee and Liaison appointments and adopt resolutions establishing project specific subcommittees
SUMMARY OF ISSUE
Each year, the newly appointed Mayor nominates individual Council Members to serve on Interjurisdictional Committees, Commissions, Boards and Councils and Standing Local Committees. As a reminder, standing local committees are publicly noticed committee meetings that fall under the Brown Act (open government laws) and are open to the public.
The 2025 Council Member Committee/Subcommittee appointments as proposed by Mayor Timm are attached for your information. The list includes two Designated Liaison assignments to clarify communication and coordination roles between the City and the California League of Cities and the Scotts Valley Chamber of Commerce. The list also includes representatives assigned by the Santa Cruz County City Selection Committee where Scotts Valley is represented by a member of another City due to shared or rotating representation assignments.
To compliment the City Council’s consideration of appointments to interjurisdictional committees and standing local committees, staff recommends that the City Council establish and appoint Council Members to two temporary, project specific Council subcommittees: the (1) FY 25/26 Budget Subcommittee; (2) Town Center Planning Subcommittee.
The attached resolutions, summarized below, clarify the two temporary, project specific Council subcommittees’ purpose, duration, and Council representation.
PROJECT SPECIFIC COUNCIL FY 25/26 BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE
• Term: The Council FY 25/26 Budget Subcommittee shall be effective January 16, 2025 through January 15, 2026.
• Representation: The Council FY 25/26 Budget Subcommittee is recommended to be comprised of Mayor Timm and Vice Mayor Timms.
• Purpose: The purpose of the Council FY 25/26 Budget Subcommittee is to monitor the City’s ongoing economic situation and make recommendations for the FY 2025/26 City
Budget, revenue enhancements and ongoing refinement of the City’s Fiscal Sustainability Plan.
PROJECT SPECIFIC COUNCIL TOWN CENTER DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE • Term: The Town Center Development Subcommittee will be effective January 16, 2025 through January 15, 2026.
• Representation: The Town Center Development Subcommittee is recommended to be comprised of Mayor Timm and Councilmember Jett.
• Purpose: The purpose of the Town Center Development Subcommittee is to oversee the update to the Town Center Specific Plan, and explore infrastructure financing and development components for City Council consideration and action.
The City Manager and pertinent staff will work directly with all subcommittees to prepare information and craft recommendations for Council consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council (1) approve Mayor Timm's proposed 2025 Interjurisdictional Committee, Commission, Board and Council appointments, Standing Committee and Liaison appointments, and (2) adopt the attached two resolutions establishing the following temporary project specific subcommittees.

DATE: 1/15/2025
City of Scotts Valley
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: 1/15/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mali LaGoe, City Manager
APPROVED: Mali LaGoe, City Manager
SUBJECT: Community Grant Program
SUMMARY OF ISSUE
Historically, the City has provided small grants to community benefit organizations that serve Scotts Valley. In 2022, staff presented the Community Grant Program Request for Proposals (RFP) and scoring criteria to City Council. The criteria and RFP were created to allow for a formal process to award community grants. For the last three fiscal years, each submitted proposal was scored by a panel of staff and community members and the collective scores resulted in recommendations to the City Council for funding. This year the City Council has allocated $50,000 in the budget to be awarded through community grants, however the program was put on hold pending the outcome of the revenue measure that was approved by the voters in the last election.
For the last three cycles, the RFP indicated the City's intent to fund 4-8 organizations for a grant amount between $5,000 and $15,000 each. The scoring criteria had three main sections:
a baseline qualification screening, content criteria (40 points) and financial criteria (25 points).
Proposals were required to provide information on how the project or program relates to the City's Strategic Plan themes. The City also emphasized an interest in filling funding gaps left by state or federal funding sources and one-time costs or capital infrastructure. Proposals did not need to score perfectly in each criteria category, they just needed the highest collective score, averaged across panel members.
For this year's scoring criteria, the City could follow the model of the last three years, which has been very successful. Alternatively, the Economic Development Subcommittee (Timms and Dilles) offer a recommendation to allocate a portion of the funding to assist businesses and organizations in Scotts Valley to obtain Autism Certification from the International Board of Credentialling and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). IBCCES offers Autism Certification programming to various sectors including schools, health care providers, travel and entertainment, public safety, and workforce for businesses. If enough sector representatives from a single City become certified, the City, as a community, can earn certification. The certification process mainly entails staff training, however larger facilities may also consider physical space modifications or other accessibility enhancements.
Last year, Visit Santa Cruz County, as an organization, obtained certification and is committed
to leading Santa Cruz County to becoming an autism friendly travel destination. The Scotts Valley Police Department personnel have completed POST Autism Awareness training and additional City staff are interested in becoming trained through IBCCES. The cost of certification depends on the number of employees and sectors, and starts at approximately $1,500. If the City Council is interested in supporting local businesses and organizations in becoming certified, the Council could consider opening a portion of the allocated Community Grant Program funding to support this effort. Staff would recommend allocating up to $10,000 for this category as a preliminary test to gauge interest from the community. If the response is strong, additional funds could be allocated in future community grant program years.
With Council input and direction on the selection criteria, staff will finalize the FY25/26 RFP and bring funding recommendations back to the Council at a later date, similar to the process of past years.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Year 24/25 budget includes $50,000 of General Fund money for the Community Grant Program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council provide input and direction regarding the selection criteria for the FY24/25 Community Grant Program.
