On May 23, 2022, City Council adopted Resolution 7285 authorizing the submittal of a joint grant application with the Golden Rain Foundation (“GRF”) in response to the Orange County Transportation Authority (“OCTA”) Environmental Cleanup Program Tier 1 (“ECP Tier 1”) call for projects to install full capture system devices within Leisure World to mitigate visible forms of pollutants, such as litter and debris, from entering the waterways and ocean.

On November 14, 2022, OCTA awarded $396,000 of ECP Tier 1 funding to the City for the 2022 Environmental Cleanup Program Project (“Project”). As the Project location is located within Leisure World Seal Beach, City Council adopted Resolution 7376 on February 27, 2023, approving a GRF cooperative agreement memorializing each party’s obligation and responsibilities (“Cooperative Agreement”).

On March 13, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 7385, and awarded a construction contract to G2 Construction, Inc., (“G2”) for the Project in the amount of $412,500 and established a construction contingency in the amount of $37,500.

The Project was inspected, meets all standards and requirements within the Project specifications, and has been completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and accepted by GRF. It is requested that the City Council formally accept the Project and direct staff to file a Notice of Completion with the Orange County Clerk’s Office, and release the retention 35 days after recordation of the Notice of Completion contingent upon no claims being filed on the Project.

Agenda Item G

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 24, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Iris Lee, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution Adjusting the Bidding Thresholds for Public Works Contracts and Adjusting the City Manager’s
Contract Authority for the Acquisition of Goods and
Services
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7429:

1. Confirming the adjustment of bidding threshold for Public Works contracts to $40,232 pursuant to the City Charter Section 1010; and,

2. Adjusting the City Manager’s threshold to bind the City, with or without a written contract, for the acquisition of equipment, materials, supplies, labor, services, or other items within the budget approved by City Council to $40,232 pursuant to City Charter 420 and Resolution 6384.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

In March 2002, Section 1010 of the City Charter was amended to include a formal procedure to calculate the bidding threshold for Public Works contracts. The bidding threshold is to be adjusted annually based upon “computing the percentage difference between the current Engineering News Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index (CCI) 20 City Average and the ENR for the previous June 1st”. The purpose of the adjustment is to allow the City to maintain its bidding threshold current with inflation. The City Charter specifies that the City Engineer shall calculate the required adjustment and the City Council shall confirm the calculation following a public hearing on the matter.

In June 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution 6384 authorizing the City Manager to bind the City for the acquisition of equipment, materials, supplies, labor, services or other items included in the budget up to the amount for each acquisition equal to the bidding threshold amount for public works projects applicable under Section 1010 of the City Charter.

On June 27, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 7311, which increased the Public Works bidding threshold to $39,524 to account for a CCI increase of 8.24 percent.

Based on the June 2023 ENR publication, the CCI has increased 1.79 percent from 13110.50 to 13345.00. This increase includes one year of adjustments to the bidding threshold. The 1.79 percent increase would increase the bidding threshold from $39,524 to $40,232.

Adjusting the bidding threshold does not waive requirements of competitive bidding on projects. All projects over the proposed threshold of $40,232 would require formal bidding procedures and contracts per the City Charter and approval at a City Council meeting. Contracts for projects under the proposed threshold of $40,232 may be awarded pursuant to informal bidding procedures.

The proposed adjustment to the Public Works bidding threshold would result in an increase in the City Manager’s threshold to bind the City, with or without a written contract, for the acquisition of equipment, materials, supplies, labor, services, or other items within the budget approved by City Council to $40,232 pursuant to Resolution 6384.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

This item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the state CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that the adjustment of bidding threshold for Public Works contracts and increase in the City Manager’s contract authority will not have a significant effect on the environment.

LEGAL ANALYSIS:

The City Attorney has approved the agreement and resolution as to form.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There are no financial impacts associated with the adjustment of bidding thresholds for Public Works contracts or the increase in the City Manager’s contract authority.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7429:

1. Confirming the adjustment of bidding threshold for Public Works contracts to $40,232 pursuant to the City Charter Section 1010; and,

2. Adjusting the City Manager’s threshold to bind the City, with or without a written contract, for the acquisition of equipment, materials, supplies, labor, services, or other items within the budget approved by City Council to $40,232 pursuant to City Charter 420 and Resolution 6384.

SUBJECT: Approval of the Annual Special Taxes for Community Facilities District No. 2002-02 “Seal Beach Blvd. / Lampson Ave. Landscape Maintenance District”
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7430 approving the annual Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax levy for Community Facilities District No. 2002-02 “Seal Beach Blvd. / Lampson Ave. Landscape Maintenance District.” BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

In July 2003, the City Council authorized a special tax to be levied within the Communities Facilities District No. 2002-02 known as Seal Beach Boulevard/Lampson Avenue Landscape Maintenance (“the District”). The special tax is levied against parcels on the east side of Seal Beach Boulevard to Lampson Avenue beginning north of the I-405 Freeway off-ramp and ending at the City limits.

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 annual special tax is being increased from the prior fiscal year by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area, as measured between March of the second fiscal year prior to that fiscal year and March of the fiscal year immediately preceding that fiscal year. Only parcels located within the established District are charged this special tax for landscape maintenance. The special tax is calculated per gross land acreage multiplied by the land area of the parcel. The special tax rates for each area of the District are illustrated as follows:

C $12,613.88 $19,448.31
The special taxes collected are considered special revenue. Special revenue sources are legally restricted to specific purposes, in this case, the landscape maintenance of public properties within the District boundaries; and therefore, are not included in the General Fund revenues. Total revenues from the special tax are estimated at $138,688.56 for FY 2023-2024.

________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7431 approving the annual Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax levy for Community Facilities District No. 2002-01 “Heron Pointe.”
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

On September 23, 2002, the City approved the establishment of Community Facilities District (CFD) 2002-01 known as Heron Pointe (“the District”) and approved Ordinance No. 1490 authorizing the levy of special taxes within the District. However, the development was faced with various delays related to the discovery of a Native American burial site within the District’s boundaries. As a result, final California Coastal Commission approval was not received until July 2005. Immediately upon receipt of final approval, the City issued $3,985,000 of CFD Bonds to fund the cost of various improvements within the District. Per the Official Statement dated June 5, 2015, the City issued $3,480,000 Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2015 and scheduled the outstanding amount of the CFD Bonds issued in 2005 to be redeemed in full.

The City contracted with Willdan Financial Services to calculate special taxes for the District for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The special taxes collected are considered special revenue. Special revenue sources are legally restricted to specific purposes. As a result, this special tax is not included in the General Fund revenues.

The special taxes will satisfy debt service on the Bonds. The method of assessment for the special taxes is described in the Amended Rate and Method of Apportionment section of the CFD Report prepared by contractor Taussig and Associates and was submitted to Council on January 12, 2004. The method of assessment defines two primary categories of property: Developed Property and Undeveloped Property. The category of Developed Property is further divided into five separate special tax classifications that vary with land use (e.g., residential,

and non-residential) and floor area (in square feet). The FY 2023-2024 maximum and actual special taxes per unit/acre are listed as follows:

4 Residential < 3,500 SF $5,570.80 $0.00
5 Non-Residential NA $51,169.73 $0.00
N/A Undeveloped NA $57,345.15 $0.00
Exhibit A of the Resolution shows the FY 2023-2024 special tax levy for each parcel being taxed.

Total expenditures for FY 2023-2024 are estimated at $265,878.59. This estimate includes debt service payments of $249,868.76 and administrative expenses of $16,009.83. Total revenues from the special tax are estimated at $265,878.26 for FY 2023-2024. There is a small variance of $0.33 in total expenditures to total revenue due to a County submittal requirement that charges must be even and divisible by two. No credit will be applied to the levy this fiscal year.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 24, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Barbara Arenado, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Approval of the Annual Special Taxes for Community Facilities District No. 2005-01 “Pacific Gateway Business Center”
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7432 approving the annual Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax levy for Community Facilities District No. 2005-01 “Pacific Gateway Business Center.”
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

In January 2006, the City approved the establishment of Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2005-01 known as the Pacific Gateway Business Center (“the District”). On February 13, 2006, the City Council approved Ordinance 1542 levying the special taxes within the District. Subsequently, in May 2006 the City issued $8,800,000 of CFD Bonds to fund the costs of various improvements within the District. Per the Official Statement dated January 6, 2016, the City issued $8,450,000 Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2016 and scheduled the outstanding amount of the CFD Bonds issued in 2006 to be redeemed in full.

The City contracted with Willdan Financial Services to calculate the special taxes for the District for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024. The special taxes collected are considered special revenue. Special revenue sources are legally restricted to specific purposes. As a result, this special tax is not included in the General Fund revenues.

Special taxes were segregated into two groups: A and B. Special Tax A will satisfy debt service on the Bonds (“Debt Service”) and Special Tax B will satisfy costs related to the maintenance of parks, parkways and open space within the District (“Landscape Maintenance”). Exhibit “A” of the resolution shows the FY 2023-2024 special tax levy for each parcel being taxed.

The method of assessment for Special Taxes A & B is described in the Rate and Method of Apportionment section of the Official Statement. The method of

assessment defines two primary categories of property: Developed Property and Undeveloped Property. Special Tax A allows for a maximum assessment rate of $20,999.50 per Acre on Developed Property within the District. This rate is to be increased by an amount equal to two percent (2%) for FY 2023-2024. The FY 2023-2024 maximum and actual Special Tax A per Acre is listed as follows:

Community Facilities District No. 2005-01
FY 2023-2024 Special Tax A for
Developed and Undeveloped Property
Description
Maximum
Special Tax A
per Acre
FY 2023-2024
Actual Special Tax A
per Acre
Developed Property $20,999.50 $12,714.84
Undeveloped Property $21,269.44 $0.00
Total expenditures for FY 2023-2024 are estimated at $571,278.05. This estimate includes debt service payments of $549,300.00 and administrative expenses of $21,978.05. Total revenues from Special Tax A are estimated at $571,277.98 for FY 2023-2024. There is a small variance of $0.07 in total expenditures to total revenue due to a County submittal requirement that charges must be even and divisible by two. No credit will be applied to the levy this fiscal year.

The maximum Landscape Maintenance special tax rate for FY 2023-2024 is $3,317.81 per Acre within the District. This rate is to be increased by an amount equal to two percent (2%) for FY 2023-2024. The FY 2023-2024 maximum and actual Special Tax B per Acre are listed as follows:

Community Facilities District No. 2005-01

FY 2023-2024
Actual Special Tax B

Total expenditures for FY 2023-2024 are estimated at $87,134.62. Total revenues from Special Tax B are estimated at $87,134.56 for FY 2023-2024. There is a small variance of $0.06 in total expenditures to total revenue due to a County submittal requirement that charges must be even and divisible by two.
