Item No.: 8.G.

TO: City Council
FROM: Jaime M. Fontes, City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Recreation Director
DATE: March 7, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CLOSURE OF

BROADWAY AVENUE TO THROUGH TRAFFIC FROM FREMONT

BOULEVARD TO DEL MONTE AVENUE, AND ASSOCIATED SIDE

STREETS AS WELL AS THE WEST OF FREMONT BOULEVARD

FROM CLEMENTINA AVENUE TO AMADOR STREET, FOR THE
EXOTICS ON BROADWAY EVENT ON AUGUST 17, 2024

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution permitting the closure of Broadway Avenue to through traffic from Fremont Boulevard to Del Monte Boulevard, and associated side streets, as well as the westbound lanes of Fremont Boulevard from Clementina Avenue to Amador Street to ensure public safety during the Exotics on Broadway event on Saturday, August 17, 2024.

BACKGROUND
Exotics on Cannery Row, LLC, has submitted an application to hold an Exotics on Broadway Event on Broadway Avenue on Saturday, August 17, 2024, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with setup and clean up hours as 4:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. They are requesting the closure of Broadway Avenue from Fremont Boulevard to Del Monte Boulevard and associated side streets, including Calaveras Street, Alhambra Street, Hillsdale Street and Contra Costa Street from the alleyways, both north and south of Broadway, towards Broadway Avenue, as well as the westbound lanes of Fremont Boulevard from Clementina Avenue to Amador Street for their display of exotic cars.

The closure of Broadway Avenue from Fremont Boulevard to Del Monte Boulevard, as well as the westbound lanes of Fremont from Broadway Avenue to Amador Street will allow 200-300 exotic cars to be shown, as well as amenities to complement the event, like a stage, bands, vendors, porta-potties, etc.

Packet Page 66

Item No. 8.G. Page 2 of 4
In 2018, Exotics on Cannery Row outgrew its former location, with crowds estimated in the thousands. However, in 2019, Exotics on Cannery Row LLC held their first annual Exotics on Broadway in Seaside with great success. In 2020, Exotics on Broadway was poised to come back to Seaside. However, that was at the height of the pandemic, and the show was canceled. Exotics on Broadway made their return to Seaside in 2022, and that show saw some of the largest crowds out of any of the shows during car week, and it featured an extension that utilized the westbound lanes of Fremont Avenue. It is expected that the 2024 show will exceed the attendance of 2023, as it is known as the best free car show on the peninsula.

After our 2023 event debrief the following areas will be addressed for the upcoming year:

Safety: There will be zero movement of vehicles in the event space from the time the event starts at 1pm until the event officially ends at 6pm. During the registration process, this policy change will be discussed with the potential vendors, and if they can not comply they will be asked not to participate. Exotics on Broadway will also advertise this through their channels from the start of their event promotions., Staff and Security: There will be an increase in staff for this event, which will include increasing the security personnel to 40.

Load in and Load Out: The organizer is working on establishing 2 locations for load in and load out for the vendors and show cars. This will help eliminate the bottleneck from the one entrance on Contra Costa. There will also be two exits to expedite the exit process for the show cars.

Alleys: Work with staff to ensure that the alleys are kept clear and open for emergency access. They will also work with Seaside PD on this.

First Aid Station: Organizer will work directly with the Fire Department to ensure that the location of the first aid tenet is a logistical priority and is centrally located.

Local Businesses: If the event is approved, the organizer will begin communication with the local businesses as soon as possible. This will help make sure that there is communication early and often with multiple forms of communication opportunities for all the affected businesses on Broadway. There will be specific meetings specifically for the business owners to have open discussions and provide any feedback to the event organizers.

Typically, during Car Week, Seaside has been a low-key destination for tourists. Exotics on Broadway now offers an opportunity for a free high quality show, which is very popular with locals and tourists, and it has made Seaside a premier destination during Car Week. This event would enhance exposure of Broadway and other Seaside Packet Page 67

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.H.

TO: City Council
FROM: Jaime M. Fontes, City Manager
BY: Nisha Patel, Public Works Director/City Engineer
DATE: March 7, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A LANDSCAPE ACCESS

AND MAINTENANCE EASEMENT AGREEMENT WITH SHEA
HOMES LP FOR ENCLAVE PHASE 3

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing a Landscape Access and Maintenance Agreement with Shea Homes LP for Enclave Phase 3.

BACKGROUND
The Enclave Phase 3 residential subdivision is being developed by Shea Homes L.P. and includes 30 residential lots. The Final Map for Phase 3 was approved by the City Council on January 3, 2023, and it was later approved for an amendment on December 7, 2023. The Enclave Phase 3 entrance is by a new private street that intersects Coe Avenue just east of the Sun Bay Apartments.

Shea Homes LP would like to improve the south side of Coe Avenue which is visible when exiting the Enclave Phase 3 subdivision. Currently, there is a chain link barbed wire fence along the homes that back Coe Avenue across from the Enclave Phase 3 entrance. The homes do not have their own wood slat or similar fence that blocks the view of cars exiting Enclave Phase 3, Shea Homes LP would like to install a 225 feet long and 5 feet high wood slat redwood fence with a row of Ceanothus 'Dark Star' (Dark Star California Lilac) in front of it within the City right of way along the back of the homes on Coe Avenue across from the Enclave Phase 3 entrance. The plans for the landscaping and fence are provided in Attachment 3. The fence will provide privacy for the properties that back Coe Avenue across from the Enclave Phase 3 entrance. It will also obscure light pollution into the neighbors' properties at the south side of Coe Avenue from cars exiting Enclave Phase 3. Lastly, it will finish the look of the entry area, beautifying it.

Packet Page 95

Item No. 8.H. Page 2 of 2
Shea Homes LP would like to secure a landscape access and maintenance easement agreement for a 225' long and 7.5' wide stretch of City right of way along the south side of Coe Avenue across from the Enclave Phase 3 entrance which would eventually be transferred to the Homeowners Association (HOA). Shea Homes will be installing fencing, landscaping and related irrigation within the City owned property (City right of way). The total amount of the easement area is approximately 1688 square more or less.

Staff is recommending executing a Landscape Access and Maintenance Agreement with Shea Homes (Attachment 2) for Enclave Phase 3. The agreement makes Shea Homes (or their HOA) responsible for all costs associated with maintenance, repair(s), new installation(s) of landscaping, fencing, and all water related apertures beyond the water meter, to include backflow(s), PVC, sprinkler(s), water line(s), drip irrigation valves, and valve boxes. In addition, Shea Homes (or their HOA) shall adhere to all City, Water District, and County of Monterey Department of Health standards regarding recycled water use.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from providing the Landscape Access and Maintenance Easement Agreement to Shea Homes. They will be constructing the improvements and maintaining them afterwards.

TO: City Council
FROM: Jaime M. Fontes, City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Recreation Director
DATE: March 7, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BELLINGER

FOSTER STEINMETZ AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO

EXECUTE THE AMENDMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LAGUNA

GRANDE JOINT POWERS AGENCY FOR THE TRAIL

MAINTENANCE STRATEGY TO INCLUDE OBTAINING THE

NECESSARY PERMITS REQUIRED TO START THE WORK

IDENTIFIED IN THE PROJECT, AND AUTHORIZING THE
CONTRACT VALUE TO BE INCREASED BY $89,792.50, TO BE

DISTRICT ($29,930.83), CITY OF SEASIDE ($29,930.84), AND THE CITY OF MONTEREY ($29,930.83)

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Bellinger Foster Steinmetz, and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment for the trail maintenance strategy to include obtaining the necessary permits required to start the work identified in the project.

BACKGROUND
The Laguna Grande Regional Park Joint Powers Agency (JPA) approved a contract with Bellinger Foster Steinmetz (BFS) to create a Trail Maintenance Strategy and Conduct Environmental Review for Laguna Grande Regional Park on April 21, 2021. Prior to the award of the contract, staff met with the various City Managers and Executive Director and it was determined that there was inadequate funding to pay for a full park plan, but recommended moving forward with the Trail Maintenance Strategy. The proposed Trail Maintenance Strategy was proposed to include the following steps:

Packet Page 107

Item No. 8.I. Page 2 of 3

1. Inventory existing trail network and biotic communities.

2. Prepare a draft trail maintenance strategy and vegetation management recommendations.

3. Review maintenance strategy with stakeholders such as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Coastal Commission, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and interested parties such as the Audubon Society and residents.

4. Revise the maintenance strategy based on public and stakeholders interest.

5. Present maintenance strategy to the JPA and finalize the project description.

6. Prepare the required environment document.

7. Present maintenance strategy and environmental document to the JPA for certification.

Once the document was certified by the JPA, the JPA would then pursue permits for the project from various resource agencies such as the Regional Water Quality Control Board, etc. Work could commence after all permits are obtained and appropriate resources and funding are identified and secured. .

In the contract under section 5.0 Additional Services it states:

5.10 Any Permitting: Obtain necessary permits (Fish & Wildlife, Regional Water Quality, Coastal Commission) for project implementation. This task is budgeted as an additional service. Scope and service details will be refined as permit requirements are identified.

Initially, staff considered working through the permitting process internally. However, given the lengthy process and limited staff resources, it has been determined that the best course of action would be to amend BFS's contract to include the permitting process. BFS would work with EMC Planning Group on this project, as EMC was a consultant for BFS for the Vegetation and Trail Maintenance Strategy, and they have a intricate knowledge of the project, and working with these permitting agencies falls in their scope of services.

The second amendment would replace paragraph 4, which was amended on March 30, 2023, and replace it with:

4. Compensation: JPA agrees to pay and Consultant agrees to accept as full and fair consideration for the performance of this Agreement, and the hourly fee set forth in the Consultants is Proposal (Exhibit A) in-total amount not to exceed eighty nine thousand, seven hundred ninety-two dollars and fifty cents ($89,792.50). Compensation under this agreement shall become due and payable 30 days after JPA's approval of Consultants' submission of a monthly written invoice to Dan Meewis, Recreation Director of the City of Seaside. Written invoices shall clearly show the account numbers for each project and shall include a copy of timesheets or invoices from sub-consultants. The payment of any compensation to Consultant hereunder shall be contingent upon performance of the terms and conditions of this agreement to the satisfaction of the JPA. If the JPA determines that the work set forth in the written invoice has not been performed in Packet Page 108

Item No. 8.I. Page 3 of 3
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, JPA shall not be responsible for payment until the work has been satisfactorily performed.

The second amendment would also shift the administration of the contract from the City of Monterey to the City of Seaside for the collection of the matching funds from the member agencies and paying the invoices for the work performed under this amendment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this item is $29,930.83 to be charged to the general fund. The funds assigned to this item can be used as a "Match Credit" for the Recreation Trails Grant, which the City is responsible for a twelve percent match.

 Extend new lighting along the southern gravel trail.

A.Coastal Development Permit Applications (Cities of
Monterey and Seaside)
Implementation of the project will require coastal development permits from the cities of Monterey (Coastal Commission) and Seaside. The following scope of work is proposed (same for each application):

Task 1 Administration and Management
Project administration and management includes meetings and telephone conferences with JPA and city staff and working with JPA’s project manager/civil engineer to obtain necessary project plans and related documentation for the application. This task also includes up to eight hours of meetings with the cities of Seaside and Monterey, as well as the Coastal Commission .

Task 2 Prepare Application Packages
Consult with both cities to obtain their application for a coastal development permit. Complete the application and gather required, existing materials.

Task 3 Respond to City Comments on Application Submittals Respond to both cities comments on the application materials. Revise as necessary. This also includes responding to comments from the Coastal Commission.

Task 4 Attend Public Hearings
Attend up to four public hearings. Please note that the cost does not include travel time to a Coastal Commission hearing if it is not scheduled locally.

B.Resource Agency Permit (Wetland and Waterways)
Applications
The Laguna Grande Trail and Vegetation Maintenance Strategy Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared to analyze potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed projects per the California Environmental Quality Act and was approved in 2023 (EMC Planning Group 2023). The document included the following mitigation measure pertaining to impacts to jurisdictional aquatic features:

BIO-11 Prior to disturbance in or within 25 feet adjacent to wetlands, a qualified biologist will prepare a wetland delineation to determine the extent of potential wetlands and waterways regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Packet Page 117
Permitting Scope of Work 3 EMC Planning Group
Laguna Grande Trail and Vegetation Maintenance Strategy October 25, 2023 Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife. If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers claims jurisdiction, the Laguna Grande Regional Park Joint Powers Authority will retain a qualified biologist to obtain a Clean Water Act Section 404 Nationwide Permit. If the impacts to the drainage features do not qualify for a Nationwide Permit, the Laguna Grande Regional Park Joint Powers Authority shall proceed with the qualified biologist in obtaining an Individual Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Laguna Grande Regional Park Joint Powers Authority will also retain a qualified biologist to coordinate with the Regional Water Quality Control Board to obtain a Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification. If necessary, the Laguna Grande Regional Park Joint Powers Authority will also retain a qualified biologist to coordinate with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to obtain a Streambed Alteration Agreement.

To compensate for temporary and/or permanent impacts to jurisdictional features that would be impacted as a result of the proposed project, mitigation shall be provided as required by the regulatory permits. Mitigation would be provided through one of the following mechanisms:
i. A Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall be developed that will outline mitigation and monitoring obligations for temporary impacts to wetlands and other waters as a result of disturbance activities. The Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan would include thresholds of success, monitoring and reporting requirements, and site-specific plans to compensate for wetland losses resulting from the project. The Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall be submitted to the appropriate regulatory agencies for review and approval during the permit application process.

Or
ii. To compensate for permanent impacts, the purchase and/or dedication of land to provide suitable wetland restoration or creation shall ensure a no net loss of wetland values or functions. If restoration is available and feasible, a minimum 1:1 mitigation to impact ratio would apply to projects for which mitigation is provided in advance.

Based on the overall site plans analyzed in the IS/MND, multiple aquatic features within the project boundary may be considered jurisdictional by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board and/or the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The following tasks would evaluate potential impacts to these features and assist the JPA in obtaining the necessary regulatory permits prior to construction.

Task 1 Wetland Delineation and Report
This task includes measuring and mapping the drainage features shown adjacent to project areas as potential waterways and investigating existing soil conditions through analysis of one or more soil test pits and preparing a wetland delineation report. The features will be evaluated using the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers protocol, which delineates wetlands as features with the following key criteria:

Packet Page 118
Permitting Scope of Work 4 EMC Planning Group
Laguna Grande Trail and Vegetation Maintenance Strategy October 25, 2023  Vegetation: The dominant vegetation must consist of species that are typically adapted to grow, effectively compete, reproduce, and/or persist in anaerobic soil conditions.  Soil: Soils present are classified as hydric, or they possess characteristics that are associated with reducing soil conditions.
 Hydrology: The area is inundated either permanently or periodically, or the soil is saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season of the prevalent vegetation.

Mapping will be completed using a GPS receiver in the field at the time of the survey. The points will be uploaded into GIS for use in calculating wetland/waterway acreage and length. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction is defined by the ordinary high-water mark, Regional Water Quality Control Board jurisdiction is defined by the top of bank, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife jurisdiction is defined by the edge of riparian vegetation.

A preliminary wetland/waterway delineation report will be prepared identifying potentially jurisdictional drainage features, including calculation of acreage and/or length of the drainage features to be impacted. The report will include the information identified in the San Francisco U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers District’s Information Requested for Verification of Corps Jurisdiction (2016) checklist. The JPA will be provided with a draft electronic version of the report for review and comment. A final PDF version will be delivered to the BFS Landscape Architects and the JPA for submittal to the San Francisco U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District with a request for a jurisdictional determination.

Task 2 Project Team and Regulatory Agency Coordination
EMC Planning Group will coordinate regulatory agency consultation with the JPA and BFS Landscape Architects to facilitate (and expedite to the extent feasible) the permitting processes. It is assumed that permits will be obtained within twelve months of authorization; if the permitting process is extended beyond this time period, a contract amendment may be necessary. It is assumed that U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, or the Regional Water Quality Control Board may request a site visit to verify field conditions. One site visit and six virtual meetings are included in this scope of work.

This task also includes budget for project management, administration, and communication with the client.

Task 3 Wetland/Riparian Mitigation Plan
Depending on the extent of impacts identified during the wetland/waterway delineation, a mitigation plan may a necessary component of permit applications. A mitigation plan incorporates information on a proposed mitigation site, a proposal for habitat creation, hydrologic and soil analysis to support the proposed mitigation site, native plant species proposed for planting, maintenance and monitoring schedule, performance criteria for evaluating success of wetland creation efforts, and remediation measures should the performance criteria fail to be achieved.

Coordination with the BFS Landscape Architects and the JPA will be required to determine an Packet Page 119

Task 4 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Nationwide Permit This task includes preparation of the Section 404 permit application package, including all required maps, figures, photographs, and other attachments. Coordination with BFS Landscape Architects will be required to determine the area within the ordinary high-water mark and wetland boundaries that may be impacted by the proposed projects and to obtain details regarding construction methodology/plans. The wetland/waterways delineation and wetland/riparian mitigation plan are necessary parts of this application. A draft electronic version of the application package will be provided for review and comment. An electronic application package will then be produced and submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A JPA representative will need to sign the application at the time of submittal.

Task 5 California Department of Fish and Wildlife Section 1600 Streambed Alteration Agreement
This task includes preparation of the permit application package, including all required maps, figures, photographs, and other attachments. Coordination with BFS Landscape Architects will be required to determine the area of riparian vegetation that may be impacted by the proposed project and to obtain details regarding construction methodology/plans. The wetland/waterways delineation and wetland/riparian mitigation plan are necessary parts of this application. A draft electronic version of the application package will be provided for review and comment.

Online notification is required for Streambed Alteration Agreements, and the applicant will need to create an account for the Environmental Permit Information Management System (EPIMS) Permitting Portal. Once the account has been created, login information can be shared with EMC Planning Group and the application will be uploaded. A JPA representative will need to sign the application at the time of submittal and provide the permit application fee (not included in the attached budget).

The 2023 permit fee is $6,236.00 for a standard agreement when the overall project cost is $350,000 or more.

SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 2024-2028 SEASIDE

YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION STRATEGIC PLAN

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution to approve the City of Seaside's 2024-2028 Youth Violence Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND
The Seaside Youth Violence Prevention Task Force (formerly known as the Blue Ribbon Task Force) is a collaborative effort of over 30 organizations representing multiple sectors of the community. The Seaside Youth Violence Prevention Task Force is a model of shared responsibility to strengthen youth and families and create safe neighborhoods through mobilizing and engaging parents, schools, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, government and local law enforcement.

Due to increased violent crime in 2012 led the City of Seaside began to develop and implement several violence prevention initiatives. The City had a population of around 34,000 in the early 2000 years and a substantial level of violent crime per capita. This led a small group of respected community leaders to form the Blue Ribbon Panel, a 35- member regional collaborative with distinguished members from county agencies, the school district, law enforcement and criminal justice agencies, elected officials, City government, service providers, and faith- and community-based organizations. The Blue Ribbon Panel, now called the Seaside Youth Violence Prevention Task Force, began the development and implementation of a Youth Violence Prevention Plan. This plan included hiring staff, making youth violence prevention a top priority by City Council resolution, completion of a community needs assessment, implementation of a civil abatement program to take action against nuisance properties, and the creation of the Peninsula Regional Violence and Narcotics Team (PRVNET).

2 Introduction
Building upon community assets for a thriving community The Seaside Youth Violence Prevention Task Force (SYVPTF) is the City of Seaside’s youth violence prevention initiative to address the root causes of violence. Established in 2013, the cross-sector coalition has worked together to identify community needs and develop strategies to address them.

The cross-sector coalition is comprised of key partners in law enforcement, youth prevention and intervention community-based service organizations, hospital-based violence intervention program, mental health, alcohol and drug intervention services organizations, recreation and education.

The diverse range of expertise and service capability has kept the effort focused on applying the collective impact and equity principles, while keeping the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) model at its core. The OJJDP’s gang violence prevention and reduction model (I.

Spergel, 1995) consists of core strategies in Prevention: community engagement, opportunity provision; Intervention: outreach and service provision; Suppression: community policing and youth diversion; Organizational Change and Development: policy and strategic resource allocation. The model’s strategies, also known as PIER: Prevention, Intervention, Enforcement and Re-entry, aim to implement effective and sustainable strategies, with methods for assessment and evaluation of its long-term impact in the prevention and reduction of violence.

Changing the narrative to better reflect the strengths and assets of our community is essential in our collective approach to eradicate violence. It is also imperative that we hold awareness of the prevalence of risk factors and the absence of protective factors that create environments in which our children, youth and families live within the confines of marginalized communities. With this in mind, the City of Seaside is committed to creating opportunities for advancement in strategies proven to be successful and give prominence to the voice of our community in the design and implementation of such strategies.

8 City Based Implemented Strategies
Seaside Youth Resource Center:

The Seaside Youth Resource Center (SYRC) serves youth and their families trying to make meaningful choices or life changes through referral services and programs that reach all levels of prevention, intervention and re-entry. Employment provisions including job skills and life skills training, job referral or placement and possible internship opportunities, activity coordination for youth, families, partner programs and prospective employers. Collaboration between and leveraging other existing prevention type programs and activities that may or may not currently exist in community. They also provide opportunities for volunteer and community service. This strategy aligns with goals two and three of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

Multi-Disciplinary Team:

The Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) gathers once a month with community providers to discuss each client the SYRC receives. The provider has a say as to which program best fits each client, for the decision to be as a team and not just one agency. In addition, each provider updates the team if the agency has made any changes due to budget cuts or limitation on capacity of client they can take. If a client is in their program, they discuss the progress the client has achieved or if the client is better suited for a different program. This program has made a huge impact for Seaside to provide services to our families. This strategy aligns with goals one, two and three of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

Seaside’s California Violence Intervention Prevention Grant (Cal VIP) Program (September 1, 2018- August 31, 2020):

The City of Seaside in partnership with community-based organizations applied for and received $500,000 in grant funding in 2018 with 50% going to community-based organizations to support Youth Violence Prevention efforts within the City of Seaside. The SYRC along with Community Human Services, Community Partnership for Youth, Partners for Peace, The Village Project, Ladies First and Restorative Justice Partners provides evidence based and promising practices programs to the community. Those programs include domestic violence classes, supervised visitation and exchange services, parent education classes including triple P, strengthening families, loving solutions, and parent project. Mentoring services to adolescent girls and boys in middle school and high school.

Teaching restorative justice principles to assist youth with constructive problem-solving skills, and education to prepare youth for jobs of the future. This strategy aligns with goals one two and three of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

The Seaside Youth Violence Prevention Task Force will continue to look for grant funding that supports the Strategic Plan.

Packet Page 136
9 Climate Report:

The Climate Report is a tool used by community partners of the Seaside Youth Violence Prevention Task Force (YVPTF) to identify trends in youth activity and unmet needs in Seaside. Tracking the data of the Climate Report over an annual period will show the outcome of actions taken based on key information it provides. This strategy aligns with goals one and two of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

Parent University:

In collaboration with Monterey Peninsula Unified School District and Community Human Services, Parent University provides families with the tools and knowledge for positive parenting practices and the prevention of youth violence. Topics for the conference will include components of school success and adolescent brain development, human trafficking, parent teen communication and more. This strategy align with goals one, two and three of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

Summer Youth Employment Program:

The Seaside Youth Employment Program provides youth in the City of Seaside with opportunities for first-time employment, valuable work experience and skills needed in the workplace. This program provides youth a structured environment with clear rewards and support which their school experiences and families may not be able to provide. This strategy aligns with goal two of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

Youth Diversion Program
The Youth Diversion program is coordinated between the Seaside Police Department (SPD) and the Seaside Youth Resource Center (SYRC). Services within the SYRC are available for the diversion program as long as the client stays in full compliance with the services, upon completion of the program, youth will graduate from the diversion program and infraction reports will disappear from their record with SPD. Failure to complete the diversion program will result in a citation for the youth. This strategy aligns with goal one of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support:

Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support (PBIS) Program Is an evidence-based program with a three-tiered framework to improve and integrate all of the data, system, and practices affecting student outcomes. The Seaside Youth Resource Center (SYRC) sits on the Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support boards for middle and high schools in Seaside and Monterey. The program is for students that are experiencing negative behaviors on the campuses. This strategy aligns with goals one, two and three of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

Packet Page 137
10 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament:

This unique event is a day of fun for the entire community, providing a long lasting memory for the youth. The primary goal of the tournament is to provide youth and young adults (ages 15 – 25) the opportunity to display their talents in a positive way. This tournament also gives at-risk youth an opportunity to highlight their talents and to connect with mentors in the community who will encourage them to transition back into school or employment. This strategy aligns with goals two and three of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

Vaping Prevention Program:

This subcommittee of the Seaside Youth Violence Prevention Task Force (SYPTF) is researching and creating programs and strategies to combat rising vaping addiction amongst youth within the City of Seaside. Programs will address the health risks associated with vaping as well as raise awareness to youth and adults. This strategy aligns with goals two and three of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

Change, Hope, Accountability & Mentoring Program:

Change, Hope, Accountability & Mentoring Program (C.H.A.M.P.S.) is a youth based program through Seaside Police and Fire departments designed to teach Seaside youth about each profession and discipline, which goes along with it. The program is voluntary and the age range for youth are 14-20.

The program is ongoing and the cadets can stop at any time, or continue until the age limit. They will learn critical life and technical skills to help propel them into a successful and meaningful profession.

This strategy aligns with goals one and two of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

Family & Community Support Program:

The Family and Community Support Program (FCSP) is comprised of a team of social service providers operating primarily in a mobile crisis response in partnership with local emergency services including Seaside Police and Fire. Available to Seaside Community Members to assist individuals, youth, and families in accessing a variety of services, community benefits, and resources through local agencies, non-profits organizations, faith-based groups, and others to support the dynamics of individual, family, and community needs as well as, address the challenges impeding healthy functioning. This strategy align with goals one, two and three of the Youth Violence Prevention Strategic Plan.

11 Community Based Implemented Strategies
Community Partnership for Youth (CPY)
All CPY Prevention Programs align with the City of Seaside’s Youth Violence Strategic Plan:

Goal 1: Strengthen Local Programs Targeting the Reduction of Youth Violence (CPY has partnered with the City of Seaside since 1991) Goal 2: Provide Additional Opportunities, Safe Spaces and Activities for Youth (CPY has formed many partnerships with other agencies to provide prevention and enrichment activities.)
Goal 3: Strengthen Collaborative Relationships with School & Community Organizations (CPY has partnered with the School District since 1991 - so grateful for our partners) CPY works with the “whole child”, their families, schools and community agencies. This is accomplished in a structured program with a set of standards based on teaching respect and integrity.

At CPY, we believe that reversing negative behavior patterns in the most vulnerable youngsters is the best chance at helping them overcome the trauma so many experience. The formula has evolved significantly, but retains the critical components that were first developed. These program qualities continue to differentiate CPY from other prevention programs and to offer students real and tangible opportunity for sustained success in school and life, and include:
 Establishment of lofty but clear standards for behavior and personal character embodied by the six CPY Standards;
 Comprehensive conflict resolution training for staff and students;  Close communication with host schools;
 Commitment to hiring within the community;
 Quality staffing that guarantees effective mentoring and tutoring; and, of course,  Partnerships that keep the community directly involved and enrich the program greatly, to the benefit of all those concerned.

CPY’s prevention programming consists of the Afterschool Mentor-Tutor Program, a six-week all-day Summer Program, a Middle School Leadership Program, a High School Leadership/Life Skills /Job Preparation Program, the Ramon Avila Technology + Design Center, and a Visual and Performing Arts Academy. Each program offers students tools to use for building success in school and life. Additional programs formed out of need during COVID19 are continuing twice weekly -- Remote Mentoring, Art Class, and distribution of food to families every week with ALL IN Monterey and the Monterey County Food Bank.

CPY provides services in three under-performing Title 1 elementary schools in the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District (MPUSD) – Del Rey Woods, M.L. King School of the Arts, and Ord Terrace along with the Dual Language Academy Monterey Peninsula. In addition, CPY high school students attend Seaside, Monterey and Central Coast High Schools. The majority of our students qualify for the free and reduced lunch program, and many would be considered homeless under the McKinney Vento Act.

13 Restorative Justice Partners, Inc.

Title of Strategy: Justice That Heals
RJP, Inc. services align with all goals identified in the Strategic Plan:

Goal 1: strengthening local programs
Goal 2: Provide safe spaces and activates for youth
Goal 3: strengthen collaborative relationships with schools and CBOs Prevention: relational practices improve climate and culture for the well-being of young people and all community members to strengthen relationships and provide helpful responses to conflict.

Intervention: restorative justice processes serve to keep young people from unnecessary or over involvement in a criminal, punitive justice system and, instead, remain included in a supportive community environment.

Restorative Justice Partners, Inc. works with those affected by conflict, providing support and education to encourage accountability, empathy, and reparation.

Restorative justice is a process to involve those who have a stake in a specific offense and to collectively address harms, needs and obligations, in order to heal and put things as right as possible. Restorative Justice Partners, Inc. (RJP, Inc.) works to supplement punitive policies with more equitable and sustainable practices, such as those based in restorative justice. The objective is to ensure people may learn from their mistakes, modify their behavior, and utilize the skills when confronted with future challenges. These improved decision-making skills further support children to thrive in – and make significant contributions to – their communities. Current programs of RJP, Inc. include:
● Victim Offender Reconciliation Program (VORP) is a mediation process that provides those who have been victimized the opportunity to meet with the person that has offended them in an intentionally safe and structured setting. The process holds the participants directly accountable for behavior while giving everyone an opportunity to be heard. Together, those directly involved plan how to move forward. ● Restorative Justice in the Schools (RJ Schools), a collaborative program between administration, faculty, students and families, offers an alternative to punitive, zero-tolerance discipline policies, Instead, the process directly addresses harms to offer individual needs based solutions. RJ Schools addresses a factor that has been shown to be protective against criminality: one's ability to effectively resolve conflict. ● The Victim Impact Program (VIP) offers the opportunity for offenders to become more aware of the impact that crime has on victims by providing victim speakers to juvenile facilities. This process builds relationships between victims of crime and juveniles that have offended. The program focuses on informing offenders of the long-term harm caused to victims, their families, and the community. Through this process, offenders may develop empathy and make attitudinal changes.

The process of restorative justice offers solutions through a three step process: 1) recognizes injustice, 2) restore equity, 3) clarify future intentions. To effectively integrate restorative justice, many diverse stakeholders are identified and involved. The scope of support in each case may vary from narrow issues, such as school dropout rates, to larger issues, such as community violence and public health outcomes.

The Project is located on an existing parcel (APN 012-631- 003), more specifically described in Exhibit A, which is presently occupied by a church. The Project would be constructed in the church’s existing parking lot. In exchange for the incentives and concessions provided in Section C of this Agreement, the Owner shall dedicate 100% (21) of the rental housing units restricted to occupancy by very low-income households for a period of no less than 55 years (hereinafter “affordable unit” or “inclusionary unit”) and will comply with all other provisions of this Agreement. The twenty-one very-low-income units will be calculated using 50% AMI for fifty-five years of rental occupancy. The Project shall be constructed by Developer and operated by Owner.

B. AGREEMENT RECORDATION
This executed Density Bonus and Inclusionary Housing Agreement, by and between the parties named above, shall be recorded at the Monterey County Recorder’s Office prior to issuance of a Building Permit. The issuance of any building permits shall not occur prior to recordation of this Agreement.

Packet Page 153
In accordance with state law, due to the Owner’s commitment to provide 100% of the units for very-low-income households, the Project has qualified for up to five development concessions pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(d)(2)(D).

The Developer has elected to receive the following four development concessions:

1. A reduction to the Common and Private open space requirements of Section 17.52.180.X to allow for reduced private open space and no common open space; and

2. A reduction of the rear yard setback from 20 feet to 17 feet; and

3. An increase in the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.45 to

0.47; and

4. An elimination of the requirement for staking and flagging the proposed building as required by Seaside Municipal Code

17.62.030.D.

The plans approved by the Seaside Planning Commission on January 10, 2024 as a part of Architectural Review AR-23-16 incorporate these items and the development shall be substantially in compliance with those plans and any subsequent changes to the project approved by the City.

D. NUMBER OF UNITS FOR DENSITY BONUS
Of the 21 multi-family residential units on the subject property, all 21 units (100%) are deed-restricted affordable units and are associated with the density bonus incentives and concessions outlined in this agreement. All affordable units shall be restricted to occupancy by very-low-income households as defined by California Health and Safety Code Section 50093 and applicable regulations in effect as of the date that this Agreement is executed. Consistent with existing law, these income limits shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Monterey County, as published by the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) on an annual basis and adjusted for household size and annual adjustments to the AMI.

Rental of the very low-income units shall be restricted to households with a combined annual income no greater than fifty percent (50%) of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) AMI for Monterey County, as adjusted for household size and revised annually. By way of example, current household income limits for 2024, based on the 2023 California Housing and Community Development Department median income limits, current as of the date of this Agreement, as calculated from 50% of the Monterey County Area Median Income, are provided below in Table 1.

F. MAINTENANCE OF AFFORDABILITY
The continued affordability of the inclusionary units shall be maintained for a minimum of 55 years from the certificate of occupancy. The Owner shall be responsible for certifying the income of the tenants to the City at the time of initial rental, and annually thereafter. This shall be completed by viewing acceptable documentation, including income tax statements or a W-2 form for the previous calendar year, and submitting, on a form approved by the City, a certification that

Page 3 of 13 ends

Packet Page 155
the tenant qualifies as an income eligible household, as well as any supporting documentation requested by the City. The Owner shall submit information in the form of an Annual Report detailing the tenants occupying each unit, specifying the monthly rent paid by each tenant during the previous year, showing verification of tenant’s income levels at least once per year, and specifying any other funds collected from the tenants by Owner. This Annual Report shall be submitted by mail to the City of Seaside on an annual basis, addressed as follows:

City of Seaside
Attn: Housing Division
440 Harcourt Ave
Seaside, CA 93955
The City shall have the right to specify the form of the Annual Report and to request supporting documentation, and Owner shall promptly provide information without questioning City’s right to request such documentation unless the provision of such documentation would violate an applicable law. If Owner believes that the provision of any documentation would violate any law, it shall provide City with a copy of or reference to said law in lieu of the documentation.

The Owner shall apply the same rental terms and conditions to tenants of the inclusionary units without regard to whether the tenant receives any financial assistance from government subsidy programs. Discrimination based on subsidies received by a current or prospective tenant is prohibited.

Whenever a unit becomes available, the Owner shall immediately notify the City in writing, addressed as follows:

City of Seaside
Attn: Housing Division
440 Harcourt Ave
Seaside, CA 93955
The Owner shall fill the inclusionary unit upon vacancy by either: (1) selecting income-eligible households themselves as long as the Owner complies with the City’s publication requirements as stipulated in Seaside Municipal Code Section

17.32.090.C (Publication of Availability of Units); or (2) selecting income-eligible households from the Housing Authority of Monterey County’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Waiting List, if available.

If, after moving into the inclusionary unit, a tenant’s income eventually exceeds the then-current income limit for that unit, the tenant may remain in the unit as long as his/her income does not exceed 150 percent of the income limit for the unit based on the most current income limits published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Once the tenant’s income exceeds 150 percent of the income limit for the unit, the tenant shall be given one year’s notice to vacate the unit. If the tenant’s annual income drops below the income limit by the end of the one-year period, the notice to vacate shall be rescinded.

FROM: Jaime M. Fontes, City Manager

Dave Fortune, Maintenance and Utilities Superintendent
DATE: March 7, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A PURCHASE

AGREEMENT WITH SALINAS VALLEY FORD FOR A USED DUMP
TRUCK IN THE AMOUNT OF $88,746.00 FOR USE BY THE

MAINTENANCE AND UTILITIES DIVISION

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement with Salinas Valley Ford for a used dump truck for an amount not to exceed $88,746.00.

BACKGROUND
The Maintenance and Utilities Division budgeted $20,000 in five different section accounts for a total of $100,000.00 for the purchase of a dump truck in the 2023/24 Fiscal Year.

The Maintenance and Utilities Division is requesting to purchase a used dump truck from Salinas Valley Ford for use by the maintenance staff in support of five Divisions within the Department to include the Presidio of Monterey Annex (POMA) Contract, with the federal government. The used dump truck will generate revenue from the POMA account through equipment rental rates billed when used in support of the contract.

The Maintenance and Utilities Division looked into purchasing a new dump truck. Three dealers in the Seaside Auto Center were contacted. Ford could not locate one and directed staff to Salinas Valley Ford. Salinas Valley Ford had a used dump truck. The other two dealers were unable to locate a new dump truck. The purchase price for a new dump truck is well over $100,000. For the department’s use, the used dump truck makes the most sense and saves the city around $15,000 to $20,000 purchase price.

Packet Page 181

Item No. 8.M. Page 2 of 2
The used dump truck is a 2022 Ford-600 XL Truck with a dump bed. The used dump truck has 2,700 miles on the vehicle. The prices shown above include all applicable fees and taxes.

FISCAL IMPACT
If the City Council authorizes the purchase of the used dump truck, the fiscal impact will be $17,750.00 from each of the following Maintenance and Utilities Division accounts, 8187 Department Equipment: 100 8420 Parks, 210 8110 Streets, 271 8110 Storm Water, 401 8620 Water and 951 8820 Sanitation for the total purchase price of $88,746.00.

CITY OF SEASIDE

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.N.

TO: City Council
BY: Jaime M. Fontes, City Manager
DATE: March 7, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION OPPOSING INITIATIVE NO. 21-0042A1,

THE TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND GOVERNMENT

ACCOUNTABILITY ACT

PURPOSE & RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution opposing the taxpayer protection and government accountability act.

BACKGROUND
The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act would revise the California Constitution with provisions that limit voters’ authority and input, adopt new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and may make it more difficult to impose fines and penalties for violation of state and local laws. The measure puts billions of local government tax and fee revenues at risk statewide with related core public service impacts. The measure could have significant negative impacts on City Seaside operations and core service delivery. The proposed constitutional initiative is sponsored by the California Business Roundtable.

Fees and Charges1:
• Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” The burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed “actual cost” is changed to “clear and convincing” evidence. • Requires fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property and the amount paid to purchase or rent government property to be “reasonable.” These fees and charges are currently allowed to be market-based. Whether the amount is “reasonable” (introducing a new legal standard aiming to force below market fee and Packet Page 185

Item No. 8.N. Page 2 of 4
charge amounts) must be proved by “clear and convincing evidence.”2 The standard may significantly reduce the amount large companies (e.g., oil, utilities, gas, railroads, garbage/refuse, cable, and other corporations) will pay for the use of local public property.
• Prohibits fees on new development based on vehicle miles traveled.

Taxes3:
• Taxes and fees adopted after Jan. 1, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted4.
• Invalidates Upland decision that allows a majority of local voters to pass special taxes. The measure specifies that taxes proposed by the initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. • Expressly prohibits local advisory measures which allow local voters to express a preference for how local general tax dollars should be spent.5 • Requires voter approval to expand existing taxes (e.g., Utility, Transient Occupancy) to new territory (e.g., annexations) or to expand the tax base (e.g., new utility service) • New taxes can only be imposed for a specific time period. • City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee. • All state taxes require majority voter approval.

Fines and Penalties6:
• May require voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties.

On Jan. 4, 2022, the California Business Roundtable filed the “Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act” or AG# 21-0042A1. On Feb. 1, 2023, the measure qualified for the November 2024 ballot.

The League of California Cities, along with a broad coalition of local governments, labor and public safety leaders, infrastructure advocates, and businesses, strongly opposes this initiative.

Local government revenue-raising authority is currently substantially restricted by state statute and constitutional provisions, including the voter approved provisions of Proposition 13 of 1978, Proposition 218 of 1996, and Proposition 26 of 2010. The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act adds and expands restrictions on voters and local government tax and fee authority.

Fees and Taxes
Local governments levy a variety of fees and other charges to provide core public services.

Major examples of affected fees and charges are:
• Nuisance abatement charges, such as for weed, rubbish, and general nuisance abatement to fund community safety, code enforcement, and neighborhood cleanup Packet Page 186

Item No. 8.N. Page 3 of 4
programs.
• Commercial franchise fees.
• Emergency response fees, such as in connection with DUI. • Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport charges.
• Document processing and duplication fees.
• Transit fees, tolls, parking fees, and public airport and harbor use fees. • Facility use charges, fees for parks and recreation services, garbage disposal tipping fees.

Virtually every city, county, and special district must regularly (e.g., annually) adopt increases to fee rates and charges and revise rate schedules to accommodate new users and activities. Most of these would be subject to new standards and limitations under threat of legal challenge. Based on the current volume of fees and charges imposed by local agencies, including council-adopted increases to simply accommodate inflation, Cal Cities estimates the amount of local government fee and charge revenue at risk is approximately $2 billion per year including those adopted since Jan. 1, 2022.

Over ten years, $20 billion of local government fee and charge revenues will be at heightened legal peril.

Hundreds of local tax measures were approved in 20227 that likely do not comply with the provisions of the initiative. Nearly $2 billion of annual revenues from these voterapproved measures will cease a year after the effective date of the measure, reducing the local public services funded by these measures, unless the tax is re-submitted for voter approval.

Reductions on local government tax revenues have impacts on core services and infrastructure including fire and emergency response, law enforcement, streets and roads, drinking water, sewer sanitation, parks, libraries, affordable housing, homelessness prevention, and mental health services.

Fines and Penalties
Under existing law, cities are required to provide due process before imposing a penalty or fine for violation of its municipal code:

1. A local agency must adopt administrative procedures that govern imposing fines and penalties, including providing a reasonable period of time for a person responsible for a continuing violation to correct or remedy the violation [Gov't Code 53069.4].

2. Notice must be given to the violating party before imposing the penalty; and give the party an opportunity to be heard and present any facts or arguments [Merco Construction Engineers v. Los Angeles Unified School District (1969) 274 CA 2d 154, 166].

3. The fine may not be "excessive" [U.S. Constitution amendments VIII and XIV].

The initiative converts administratively-imposed fines and penalties into taxes unless a new, undefined, and ambiguous “adjudicatory due process” is followed. This provision may put at risk authority to impose fines and penalties for violations of state and local law.

RESOLUTION NO. 24-XX

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEASIDE OPPOSING INITIATIVE NO. 21-0042A1: THE TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND

GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
WHEREAS, an association representing California’s wealthiest corporations is spending tens of millions of dollars to promote a deceptive ballot measure currently eligible for the November 2024 statewide ballot; and
WHEREAS, the measure creates constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, which could force residents and taxpayers to pay more to maintain services; and WHEREAS, the measure threatens billions of dollars every year in local government funding for services like fire and emergency response, law enforcement, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more; and
WHEREAS, the measure is an attack on voters’ rights, containing undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures to fund services, provisions that retroactively cancel measures recently passed by voters, and provisions that prevent voters from passing advisory measures that provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent; and
WHEREAS, the measure contains intentionally restrictive language that will encourage hundreds of frivolous lawsuits against cities and local governments – costing taxpayers many millions and stopping investments in vital local services; and WHEREAS, the measure would make it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, the measure is opposed by hundreds of local governments, teachers, firefighters, working families and local elected officials.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Seaside does hereby opposes Initiative #21-0042A1;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Seaside, will join the “Stop the Taxpayer Deception Act” coalition, a growing coalition of public safety, education, labor, local government, and infrastructure groups throughout the state.

RE: Letter Opposing Initiative 21-0042A1
I am writing on behalf of the City of Seaside to oppose Initiative #21-0042A1, a November 2024 statewide ballot proposition. The measure is a significant threat to local control and voters’ rights that could jeopardize funding for vital services.

This measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impact they have on our communities, which could force residents and taxpayers to pay more to maintain basic services.

The measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to local services at risk, and could force cuts to fire and emergency response, law enforcement, services to support homeless residents, and more.

The measure is also an attack on voters’ rights, containing undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures to fund local services, provisions that retroactively cancel measures recently passed by voters, and provisions that prevent voters from passing advisory measures that provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent.

Furthermore, the measure contains intentionally vague and restrictive language that will encourage hundreds of frivolous lawsuits against cities and local Packet Page 191
governments — costing taxpayers millions and blocking investments, development and long-term planning.

You may list the City of Seaside in formal opposition to Initiative #21-0042A1 and include our city as part of the growing coalition of public safety, labor, local government, infrastructure advocates, and other organizations throughout the state opposed to this deceptive proposition.

Sincerely,
Ian N. Oglesby
Mayor

Leslie Llantero, Assistant Engineer
DATE: March 7, 2024
SUBJECT: REVIEW AND TAKE ACTION ON THE TRAFFIC ADVISORY

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION FOR RED CURB ALONG BAKER
STREET

RECOMMENDATION
Consider the Traffic Advisory Committee's recommendation to place red curb along Baker Street as an initial phase of traffic calming.

BACKGROUND
Two traffic calming applications were received during the Traffic Calming Program application period. The applications were reviewed, evaluated, and presented to TAC at the November 21, 2023 TAC meeting. The Committee recommended the San Pablo Avenue traffic calming application move forward for further evaluation and design and requested staff return at a later TAC meeting with traffic calming strategies to address the concerns of the residents on Baker Street.

The requested section of Baker Street is a two-way north/south bound roadway approximately 450 feet long, between San Lucas Street/Birch Avenue and Phoenix Avenue. Along this corridor there are 4 1/2 foot wide sidewalks adjacent to the roadway with parking permitted on both sides. The roadway is classified as residential with a speed limit of 25 miles per hour. Traffic counts were taken and revealed the average daily traffic (ADT) was 1,922 vehicles per day with an 85th percentile speed of 28 miles per hour. Reported traffic collision records were reviewed from 2018 to 2020 with one collision reported within that time frame.

Parametrix, the City's transportation consultants, reviewed the data and roadway characteristics and developed traffic calming strategies for Baker Street. The traffic Packet Page 193

Item No. 8.O. Page 2 of 2
calming strategies include centerline striping, red curb at the intersections, a speed cushion between Phoenix Ave. and Birch Ave., and painted curb extensions at the intersection of Baker St. and Phoenix Ave.

To control budget and staff time, the intent of the Traffic Calming Program was to select the highest ranked application to move forward with design and implementation.

San Pablo Avenue traffic calming application was recommended by the TAC and approved by City Council, and improvements for San Pablo Avenue are currently in design.

The TAC recommends the City Council approve red curb (as shown in the attachment) along Baker Street to improve sight distance, as an initial phase of traffic calming. It is also recommended to include the remaining traffic calming strategies for implementation in next year's budget.

FISCAL IMPACT
Public Works maintenance staff will paint the curbs. There are enough funds in the street maintenance budget to cover the cost of the paint.

BY: Dominique Davis, City Clerk
DATE: March 7, 2024
SUBJECT: DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION

PLACING A MEASURE REGARDING THE USE OF SAFE AND SANE
FIREWORKS ON THE GENERAL ELECTION NOVEMBER 2024,
BALLOT

RECOMMENDATION
Receive the presentation, public comment and consider the adoption of a resolution placing a measure regarding the use of safe and sane fireworks on the November 2024, ballot.

BACKGROUND
At the October 5, 2023, City Council meeting, a request was made by Council Member Miller which proposed that the City Council consider a measure relating to fireworks on the November 2024 general election ballot. Subsequently, on October 19, 2023, the Council agreed that an item should be placed on a future agenda to discuss and consider a city-sponsored ballot measure regarding the future use, sale and possession of safe and sane fireworks in the city for the November 2024 election.

Over the years, residents have lodged complaints about the sale and use of fireworks.

In response, the Public Works, Police and Fire Departments engage in robust public outreach campaigns, which include, but were not limited to:
• Placement of signs at the city limits warning passersby that illegal fireworks are prohibited beyond the city limit
• Partnership with California State Parole, MSCO and Fire Works Task Force • Police and Fire Departments Operational Plans for fireworks suppression • Communication across various City media platforms (website, public service announcements and social media)
Packet Page 196

Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 2
• Increased police patrol, fire department drones and additional engine companies, zero-tolerance enforcement, and criminal and administrative citations.

These aforementioned efforts have been time, labor and cost intensive, and have had some impacts on the reduction of illegal fireworks activities and complaints.

Should the City Council desire to consider placing a ballot measure on the November 5, 2024, general election ballot, the City Council must approve the wording for the ballot question, and adopt a resolution placing the fireworks measure on the ballot and requesting the County of Monterey Board of Supervisors consent to the consolidation of this election with a statewide general election by May 17, 2024.

The City Council is being asked to consider directing staff to prepare the wording for the ballot questions, and fulfill additional requirements for a ballot initiative, or provide alternative directions.

FISCAL IMPACT
None associated with this action.

2 Q2 FY 2022-23 FINANCIAL REPORT

INTRODUCTION
This is the second quarterly report for Fiscal Year 2023- 24, and comprises results for the six month period
ending December 31, 2023. While a few other notable
funds are reviewed, this report focuses primarily on the City’s general fund. General Fund operating revenues
and expenditures as compared to previous years and/or
budget are presented, and any notable changes or
trends in these numbers are explained. The report is
presented on a cash basis, which means that revenues
are recognized at the time revenues are received and
expenditures are recognized at the time payment is
processed. The City does not accrue any revenues or
expenditures in the first quarter.

The purpose of this report is twofold. First, it ensures that the City is consistently monitoring its revenues and expenditures so that it may proactively respond to
unanticipated changes or emerging trends. Second, and
equally important, consistent reporting increases the
transparency of the City’s finances. Quarterly reporting provides the City Council, City Administration, taxpayers and ratepayers with information that demonstrates the
City is meeting this standard.

The information in this report is the most accurate and up-to-date information available at the time of
publication. It is not meant to be inclusive of all financial and accounting transactions. It is intended only to
provide the Council, Management and the public with
an overview of the state of the City’s general fiscal
condition. It should be noted that this report is not an audited financial statement, and the numbers provided
herein are preliminary and subject to change as the year progresses. No data on revenues and expenditures is
final until the City has completed its annual audit and finalized its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
(ACFR), which is released in the winter of each year for the prior fiscal year.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
In March of 2020, the City declared a local emergency in response to the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. The
ensuing statewide shelter in place orders coupled with
various levels of “reopening” created financial turmoil in the fourth quarter of FY 2019-20 and throughout FY
2021-22.

Throughout the pandemic the economy performed
surprisingly well due to two prime factors; the
development and distribution of a vaccine for the virus and federal stimulus dollars. California declared an end to the COVID-19 State of Emergency on February 28,
2023.

NATIONAL & STATE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Hdl (The City’s revenue enhancement consultant)
reports the national economy grew 2.5% in FY22-23,
and projects it will remain flat in FY 23-24. FY 24-25 is expected to slow further to 1.9%.
• California’s unemployment rate is expected
to remain low at 4.7% in FY 23-24 before
climbing slightly to 5.0% in FY 24-25.
• Statewide Sales & Use Tax growth is expected
to turn negative in FY 23-24 at -0.2% before
swinging back positive in FY 24-25 at 2.1%.
• California’s median existing home price is
expected to increase from $697k in FY 23-24
to $724k in FY 24-25.

Source: Hdl
During the pandemic the Federal Government passed
and implemented five economic stimulus packages
totaling approximately $6 trillion. The Federal Reserve also lowered the Federal Funds rate to between 0% and
.25%. In many ways the federal stimulus may have
slowed the economic damage caused by the health and
safety response to the pandemic and stabilized the
economy. On the other hand, the vigorous amounts of
stimulus coupled with supply chain bottlenecks appear
to have contributed to rising inflation. Late in 2021 and early in 2022, many economists believed inflation would be short lived and come as a result of supply chain
bottlenecks and staffing shortages, which would recede
with time. That prediction did not prove correct, as
inflation remained unsustainably high throughout 2022
and much of 2023. Faced with sustained inflation, the
Federal Reserve responded with increases to the Federal Funds Rate, which generally speaking has a cooling effect on inflation. Beginning March 17, 2022 the Federal
Reserves raised rates eleven times; from .25% to 5.5%.

The 12-month increase in CPI (indicator of inflation) as of September 2022, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was 8.2%. It appears that rate increases have had the desired effect, with the increase in CPI dropping Packet Page 206

CITY OF SEASIDE
3 Q2 FY 2022-23 FINANCIAL REPORT
to 3.4% as of December 2023. While this is certainly
good news, the traditional target rate for inflation is 2%, which indicates we are still in a high inflationary period.

While the risk of a recession has decreased somewhat,
many economists still believe a recession is possible in the first half of 2024. It remains to be seen, if, how long, and how severe a potential recession will be or if the
economy will make the so-called “soft landing”.

LOCAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
At the local level, the City of Seaside unemployment rate steadily decreased since reaching a high mark of 19.0%
in April of 2020 and reaching a low point of 2.5% in
September of 2022. As of December of 2023 the rate is

3.1%.

The City of Seaside unexpectedly experienced strong
results in several business sectors thoughout the
pandemic, including Auto Sales, Online Sales, and
Building and Construction Materials. Historically, sales tax from Auto Sales have accounted for approximately
41% of the City’s Sales Tax total and 16% of the General Fund revenue total. In a potential recession, revenue
losses in this sector could have a substantial impact on the City’s finances.

Not all sectors of the local economy, however, fared as well. One major sector of Seaside’s local economy is
based on tourism. Early in the pandemic the the local
Hotel Tax (Transient Occupancy Tax) dropped off severly due to shelter in place orders. Beginning in June of 2021, however, this sector experienced some much needed
relief. TOT collections showed strong signs of recovery throughout the 2021 Summer months and again in the
2022 and 2023 Summer months. From a pandemic era
low of $2.1 million in fiscal year 20-21, this sector ended fiscal year 22-23 at approximately $3.4 million. By way of comparison, fiscal year 18-19 (the most recent “nonpandemic” fiscal year) generated $3.4 million in hotel tax. Fiscal year 2023-24 TOT promises to continue
growing, albeit somewhat less than origianally forecast.

City staff will continue to monitor and report City
financial health to the City Administration, City Council and Public, as well as monitoring the Federal Reserve ‘s and the Federal Government’s efforts to reduce inflation and avoid or lessen the impacts of a potential recession.

Staff recommends that the City remain flexible should
conditions require action as the year progresses. A
clearer picture of the City’s finacial outlook is likely to emerge as the budget process for fiscal year 2024-25
progresses.

Q2 GENERAL FUND REVENUES:

Total budgeted revenue for FY 2023-24 including one-time sales and transfers is $46.3M. Revenues are projected to end the year at $46.8 million; an increase of $500k over budget.

The following table and chart compares Q2 results for FY24 with Q2 results for FY22 and FY23. As can be seen in the table, revenues through the second quarter totaled $22.8M which is 6% or $1.4M higher than the second quarter of the previous year and 12% or $2.4M higher than FY22. The $22.8M equals 49% of total budgeted revenue. Similarly, though the second quarter of the previous year the City had realized 48% of total budgeted revenue. This indicates that the City’s revenues are on target with the budget.

7 Q2 FY 2022-23 FINANCIAL REPORT
DISCUSSION OF SIGNIFICANT EXPENDITURE VARIANCES BY TYPE:
 Personnel Services
Personnel Services were similar to results at mid-year in the previous fiscal year. The results were somewhat higher mostly due to cost of living adjustments and increases in pension costs. Total cost was $15.8M compared to $14.8M a year earlier. Personnel services are expected to produce the greatest year end variance at $2.6M. In the first half of the year, 15 positions were recruited and filled.

On the other hand, 14 positions terminated for various reasons.  Services & Supplies
At the mid-point of the year, Services and supplies were up 48% on a year over year basis but only 1% over budget. The majority of the year over year variance is related to the purchase of recycled water for use on the City’s golf course.
 Capital Outlay – Projects
Capital outlay and projects were udown $2.8M over the previous fiscal year almost entirely due to the prior year purchase of two parcels of land – on Del Monte Avenue and Canyon Del Rey Boulevard.

8 Q2 FY 2022-23 FINANCIAL REPORT
EXPENDITURES BY DEPARTMENT:

As can be seen in the table above, nearly all departments were under budget through the second quarter of the year. Human Resources was over budget due to the re-classification of two positions and increased investigations costs. The recreation department was over budget due to over hiring of part-time seasonal staff. The over-hiring situation has been addressed and should improve as the year progresses.

GENERAL FUND NET RESULTS & BUDGET OUTLOOK:

Overall, the first half of the year showed expenditures of $22.9M (44% of the annual budget) in comparison with revenues of $22.8M (49.2% of the annual budget). Projected results are as follows:

9 Q2 FY 2022-23 FINANCIAL REPORT
As can be seen, results at the mid-year indicate that the ongoing operations of the City are expected to continue producing positive financial results. An operating surplus in the amount of $3.3 million is expected by year end. Any remaining operating surplus will be applied to the Capital Budget, thereby reducing the amount by which fund balance is expended.

Some insights may be gained at the mid-year budget review:
• Revenues remain strong but have begun to flatten out. • Sales and Use Tax is beginning to flatten (auto sales in particular). • Marijuana Receipts tax have decreased.
• Personnel costs are up but expected to produce a variance due to difficulty in hiring and retaining police officers and maintenance workers.

Headwinds:
• The nation continues to see inflation above the 2% target rate. • PERS unfunded liabilities continue to grow.
• The state budget is expected to move into a deficit which will impact grants received by the City. • Geopolitical unrest continues.

OTHER FUNDS
In addition to the General Fund, the budget includes funds from a range of restricted sources as well as businesstype activities that are used to provide specific services, including:

WATER FUND:

The Water Enterprise Fund appears to be functioning as designed. Recent rate increases have greatly increased revenues putting the enterprise in a much better position. Per the City’s approved rate structure, rates increased 15% on January 1, 2022. There were no rate increases on January 1, 2023. A new rate study is under way however, and the Utility hopes to have new rates approved by the ratepayers and Council in time for the fiscal year 2024-25 budget. The system has significant capital costs on the horizon since a second well is needed.

STORM WATER FUND:

The Storm Water fund expenditures through the first two quarters were $639k. Storm Water costs were $49k lower than the same quarter of the previous year, mainly due to work the fluctuating nature of capital improvement work. The fund appears to be trending within budget for both capital and operating.

Currently the primary source of funding for the Storm Water fund is the City’s General Fund. City staff continues to seek grant funding when available as well.
