Item No.: 8.F.
TO: City Council
FROM: Craig Malin, Interim City Manager
BY: Andreas Baer, Senior Engineer
DATE: November 21, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO AWARD A CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT TO BEN FRANKLIN CONSTRUCTION INC. FOR AN
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $164,175.00 FOR THE SEASIDE FIRE
STATION BEAM REPAIR PROJECT, AND DIRECT THE FINANCE
DIRECTOR TO MAKE THE NECESSARY BUDGETARY CHANGES
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution awarding a construction contract for an amount not to exceed $164,175.00 to Ben Franklin Construction Inc., and direct the Finance Director to make the necessary budgetary changes for the Fire Station Beam Repair Project.
BACKGROUND
In August 2023, City Staff noticed one of the load bearing beams spanning the engine bay at the City of Seaside fire station had cracked and was sagging. City staff temporarily braced the beam and contracted with ZFA Structural Engineers to develop a repair plan. The temporary support posts that are currently installed block clear space in the fire station engine bay. The repair plan developed by the structural engineer involves sistering two steel c-channel beams to the sides of the existing beam to reinforce it and carry the load.
City staff advertised the project for bid on September 17th, 2024. A pre-bid meeting was held on September 26th that six (6) contractors attended. The bid opening was held on October 3rd, 2024, but no bids were received. City staff reached out to contractors who attended the pre-bid meeting, and were told that bids were not received due to a delay in receiving electrical subcontractor quotes.
On October 10th, 2024, staff released the project for bid a second time, this time Packet Page 47
Item No. 8.F. Page 2 of 3
reaching out to a number of local electrical contractors. A second pre-bid meeting was held on October 17th, 2024, and an additional four (4) contractors attended that meeting. On October 25, 2024, bids were received from two contractors as follows:
Contractors Bids
Ben Franklin Construction Inc. $149,250.00
Blevins Construciton Inc. 160,947.80$
Based upon an evaluation of bid documents received, Ben Franklin Construction Inc. is the lowest responsive responsible bidder. Ben Franklin Construction INC holds a California Class B General Contractors License in good standing and has a history of completing construction projects at Fire Stations across the state.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a construction contract with Ben Franklin Construction Inc. for an amount not to exceed one hundred and forty-nine thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($149,250.00) plus a 10% contingency such that the full value of the contract does not exceed one hundred sixty-four thousand one hundred and seventy-five dollars ($164,175.00).
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Article 19, section 15301 of CEQA states that a categorical exemption may be declared for “the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.” Since the project is to repair an existing building, this exception can be claimed for the City’s Fire Station.
FISCAL IMPACT
The project account (344-8910-9556) was originally funded with one hundred and ten thousand dollars ($110,000.00). Three bids were obtained for direct purchase of the steel "C" channel beams that will be used to reinforce the broken fire station beam, and the low bid for the steel "C" channels is sixteen thousand six hundred dollars ($16,600.00). An additional contingency is needed in the amount of ten percent (10%) or one thousand six hundred $1,660.00 for the material purchase in case there is a change identified that would affect the fabrication of the new steel beams. The low bid for the construction work of installing the steel beams to repair the fire station is one hundred forty-nine thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($149,250.000. An additional then percent (10%) contingency is needed for written amendments to the construction contract outlined above such that the full value of the contract shall not exceed one hundred sixty-four thousand one hundred and seventy-five dollars Packet Page 48
Item No. 8.F. Page 3 of 3
($164,175.00). The City of Seaside FY 2024/25 adopted budget Fire Station 1 account 344-8910-9556 was set up in the amount of one hundred ten thousand dollars ($110,000.00) earmarked for this work. An additional seventy-two thousand four hundred and thirty-two ($72,432.00) will have to be transferred from the general fund into the project account to complete this project. It is recommended that the City Council include in the resolution directing the Finance Director to make the necessary budgetary changes for the Fire Station Beam Repair Project.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.G.
TO: City Council
FROM: Craig Malin, Interim City Manager
BY: Andreas Baer, Senior Engineer
DATE: November 21, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CITY STAFF TO UTILIZE
MULTIPLE ANNUAL ON CALL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS TO
COMPLETE WORK BASED ON COMPETITIVELY BID PRICING
SCHEDULES, AND DIRECT STAFF TO BID OUT GENERAL
ENGINEERING AND GENERAL BUILDING ON CALL CONTRACTS
FOR MULTIPLE ON CALL CONTRACTORS FOR 2025
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution authorizing city staff to utilize multiple annual On Call construction contracts to complete work based on competitively bid pricing schedules, and direct staff to bid out general engineering and general building On Call contracts for multiple On Call contractors for 2025.
BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside currently makes limited use of On-Call contracting for specialty clean up and abatement work and the City has established lists of qualified On-Call consultants for professional service agreements. However, Seaside does not utilize OnCall contracting to complete general building or general engineering construction work.
City staff have limited resources, and they are looking for more efficient means to construct emergency work and capital improvement projects in a timely and costeffective manner. Annual On-Call contracting for municipal general building and general engineering work is a method used by many cities, including our neighboring City of Monterey, to provide a readily available work force for repairs, maintenance, remodels, minor new construction, emergency and other work.
General building work refers to work completed by a Class B contractor. Class B building contractors usually work on structures that require at least two unrelated building Packet Page 56
Item No. 8.G. Page 2 of 4
trades or crafts. This generally means work on buildings, where the Class B contractor performs work and oversees multiple unrelated trades or crafts during the project, such as framing, drywall, painting, plumbing, heating ventilation and air conditioning, electrical, and roofing work.
General engineering work refers to work completed by a Class A contractor. Class A contractors usually work on projects doing excavating, grading, trenching, paving and surfacing work that requires specialized engineering skills and knowledge. For public works, this generally means work on roadways, sidewalks, bridges, drainage, flood control, public water systems, sewage, pipelines, parks, and more.
On-call contractors are selected by low bid through the public bidding process where contractors are asked to provide unit pricing, labor rates, markups, and pricing schedules that establish clear unit costs for itemized or otherwise well-defined types of work anticipated-throughout the year. Although the quantity of work cannot be welldefined at the outset of an annual On-Call contract, the type of work can be defined, and low bid unit pricing can be set through a public bidding process. Once established, the On-Call contract allows construction work to move forward by permitting the City to select work items from a menu.
City staff recommends contracting with multiple on-call contractors at the same time to ensure the City has a readily available work force. Following Council award of the multiple On-Call contracts, the City shall prepare drawings and/or specifications of sufficient detail to determine a scope of work and schedule for individual projects.
These individual projects shall be offered first to the first low bidder, who will be entitled to perform the work unless the contractor declines the project, or the City determines the contractor would be unable to timely and satisfactorily perform the work due to bidder responsibility factors established by the City including, but not limited to, adequate financial, material, equipment, facility, workforce and personnel resources.
Upon such determination by the City, the project shall be offered next to the second low bidder, who will be entitled to perform the work unless the project is declined or the City determines that the contractor would be unable to timely and satisfactorily perform the work due to the contractor responsibility factors set forth above. If there are additional on-call contractors, this process would continue as needed until the project is assigned or the project is put out to bid.
Staff recommends establishing two funding limits for this on-call work:
1. Staff recommends that each On-Call contract for the general building and general engineering trades be set at a not-to-exceed limit of $1,000,000.00. This funding limit is in alignment with what other similarly sized cities use. The limit is adequate to cover multiple small projects, regularly recurring repetitive work, and to mobilize forces to respond immediately to a large scale emergency. At the same time, this funding limit is low enough that it discourages use for new construction, and larger upgrade and repair projects that have the luxury of careful planning. Using the On-Call contractor for Packet Page 57
Item No. 8.G. Page 3 of 4
larger, well planned projects will deplete the city’s funding balance and our ability to respond to emergencies.
2. Staff recommends setting the new construction project limit at $175,000.00. The $175,000.00 is set low enough to prevent the use of the On-Call contractor for large well planned non-emergency projects that would deplete the available fund. In addition, $175,000 defines the City of Seaside's high limit for when a project can be informally bid. Formally bid projects undergo a more public, longer, and better advertised process.
By allowing new construction only in the range of informally bid construction work, the City is not taking projects off the table that will be the most widely advertised and encourage the greatest amount of public bidding.
The Public Works department currently has an outstanding project list containing nearly $60,000,000 of projects. New reports such as the Storm Water Master Plan, and Water System Master Plan have identified additional critical projects well over $10,000,000.
Public works engineering staff is inadequate to complete all the projects in a timely manner. Public Works Engineering currently has three to four engineers who act as project managers, all of whom are tasked with administering and operating programs in addition to constructing projects. The informal and formal bidding process requires substantial staff time investment even for small projects, and delays work from moving forward. General Building, and General Engineering. On-Call Construction contracts are the best available tool for leveraging the limited public works staff and budgets to complete work.
On-call contracts often save money and do not incur financial risk. Contractors bidding On-Call contracts offer lower unit pricing because the On-Call contract removes redundant overhead and mobilization costs, eliminates redundant bidding costs, and reduces risk for contractors by ensuring all quantities of work will be paid for at a fair market. Bidding is risky for a contractor because the onus rests on the contractor to correctly interpret a project and quantify all the work. If a work item is clearly shown but missed in bidding, the Contractor has to pay for that item. As a result, contractors include a percentage cost for missed items. On-Call contracts use established unit pricing and are paid based on actual quantities provided, which removes the risk associated with missing a bid item. In addition, the City is guaranteed not to be stuck with onerous pricing through an On-Call Contract because the City holds no obligation at any time to issue work through the contract. The On-Call contract process forces contractors to make their unit pricing public in advance, but does not force the City to offer any projects to the bidders. Therefore, if staff determines that On-Call unit pricing is higher than individually biding work, staff will opt to bid work.
On-call work pricing will also be directly beneficial to the public. Citizens of the City of Seaside own the sidewalks in front of their houses and are obligated to maintain that path of travel free of trip hazards. The Public Works Department operates an active trip hazard program that surveys sidewalks and works with homeowners to ensure repairs are made. On-Call contract pricing for small repetitive work such as sidewalk repairs will Packet Page 58
Item No. 8.G. Page 4 of 4
be especially helpful because the itemized unit pricing in the general engineering OnCall contract allows for a clear costing of all trip hazards and offers a way for the public to opt to have the city manage their repairs at known costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The On Call contract will not be funded through individual projects. The contract will require tracking and accounting to ensure it stays within the not-to-exceed funding limit, but it does not require an appropriation from the general fund or funding reservation.

Item No. 8.H. Page 2 of 3
On October 3, 2024, City Council approved an amendment to the contract expanding the scope of services to including additional soil sampling to delineate the extent of lead impacts previously detected during excavation and increasing the contract amount to $87,200.00 with a 10% contingency for a not to exceed amount of $95,920.00.
Geosyntec is an approved consultant on the City's On-Call list approved by City Council on May 16, 2024. They have experience performing environmental investigation, excavation, and reporting work in the Phase 1A Development Area. Over the last few months, it was discovered that the extent of the lead-based-paint impacts on the soil was wider than originally anticipated.
Since the October 3, 2024 meeting in consultation with DTSC, the City will need to do additional soils removal, disposal, supplemental testing and additional reporting to DTSC. The anticipated timeline for these activities are underway and soils removal is tentatively scheduled for early December with a goal of completing and receiving regulatory clearance by DTSC on or before March 1, 2025. Campus Town Phase 1A project area will require regulatory clearance prior to the sale of the property for development.
Staff recommends adopting a resolution authorizing an amendment to the professional services agreement with Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. to provide for soils removal, additional soil testing and supplemental reporting to DTSC for Campus Town Phase 1A for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $159,300.00 and written amendments such that the total agreement does not exceed $246,500.00 A project contingency of 10% of the revised contract total or $24.650.00 is requested for unforeseen circumstances.

Ms. Sheri Damon
City Attorney, City of Seaside
440 Harcourt Avenue
Seaside, California 93955
Subject: Proposal for Environmental Consulting Services Lead Excavation at Former Building 4214
City of Seaside, Former Fort Ord
Lightfighter Drive & 2nd Avenue
Seaside, California
Dear Ms. Damon,
Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (Geosyntec) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Seaside (Seaside), to perform excavation of lead-impacted soil around the former building 4214, located within the Campus Town Phase 1A development near the intersection of Lightfighter Drive and Second Avenue, Seaside, California (Site). Seaside has acquired the Site, known as the Fort Ord Surplus II Areas, from the U. S. Department of Defense that was part of the former Fort Ord Army Base. Seaside established development areas, known as the Parcel 1A and Parcel 1B Development Areas, within the Seaside city limits. Seaside has entered into a development agreement with a master developer to implement a mixed-use development project (Campus Town). The development will include high density residential housing, single family homes, commercial business and retail, and associated public facilities such as parks, open space, and schools.
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The objective of Geosyntec’s services will be to excavate lead-impacted soil from around the former building 4214. This work will include pre-field preparation activities, subcontract of an environmental construction contractor to perform the excavation activities, screening soil with a portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) to delineate the extent of lead impacts, and collection of soil confirmation samples for submittal to a fixed environmental laboratory. The objectives will be met by implementing the scope of services described below.
EXHIBIT A-2
Packet Page 69
City of Seaside
November 13, 2024
City of Seaside SSI 4214 Soil update aw.docx
Task 1 – Pre-Field Preparation
In advance of the planned soil excavation work, Geosyntec will prepare an internal work plan to guide the excavation effort in the field. This internal work plan will describe the excavation depths, XRF sampling and screening protocols, the anticipated confirmation sample counts and anticipated locations, and required documentation. Preparation of a health and safety plan and task hazard analysis will also be included in this effort.
Geosyntec will also coordinate and contract with the subcontractors expected to be used for the excavation, including the environmental construction contractor, geophysical locator, and the laboratory. Geosyntec anticipates renting a XRF from a local environmental equipment rental company.
Geosyntec has assumed a total of 66 hours for this effort, for a total estimated effort of $12,700.
Task 2 – Lead-Impacted Soil Excavation
Geosyntec will contract with a third party geophysical locator to clear the anticipated excavation area prior to excavation. We expect this effort will require one day of staff time to travel to the Site and oversee geophysical clearance. During this mobilization, Geosyntec will also mark the area for Underground Service Alert (USA) and call in the notification.
Geosyntec will oversee the environmental construction subcontractor while they perform excavation of lead impacted soil in the vicinity of the former building 4214. Excavation work is anticipated to take 4 days. Soil will be directly loaded into trucks, anticipated to be disposed of at Kirby Canyon Landfill in Morgan Hill, California.
During soil excavation, the perimeter and bottom of the excavation will be sampled and screened with a portable XRF. Soil sample collection and analysis will be performed in general accordance with United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 6200.
Based on the results of the XRF screening, the excavation may be expanded until concentrations less than 80 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) are observed. Soil confirmation samples will be collected and submitted to Enthalpy Analytical of Orange, California for analysis of lead by USEPA Method 6010B. Up to 50 samples will be run for lead under a 24-hour turnaround time.
Packet Page 70
City of Seaside
November 13, 2024
City of Seaside SSI 4214 Soil update aw.docx
Assumptions:
• Seaside will coordinate moving or removing the fencing currently surrounding the old excavation area at building 4214.
• Soil will be characterized as non-hazardous, and Kirby Canyon Landfill will accept the soil for disposal.
• No more than 560 tons of soil will be disposed of at Kirby Canyon. • No grading permit will be required through the City of Seaside. • Excavation and off-haul will require no more than four days in the field. • A total of 50 field samples are assumed to be collected and analyzed under a 24-hour turnaround time over the course of the excavation.
The field work is assumed to span one mobilization, four field days, with three staff in the field for each of the four days. The total estimated effort for this task is $129,100.
Task 3 – Excavation Completion Report
Following the excavation, Geosyntec will prepare an Excavation Completion report for submittal to DTSC. This report will summarize the prior investigation efforts in September 2024, as well as the excavation work anticipated to be completed in December. As part of the completion reporting, the lead data from September and December 2024 will be validated by Geosyntec’s internal validation team, comparing the reports to the Stage 2A validation standard. This report will be prepared for an anticipated submittal date of January 15, 2025.
Geosyntec has assumed a total of 90 hours for this effort, for a total estimated effort of $17,500.
ESTIMATED COST, TERMS, AND CONDITIONS
Geosyntec proposes to conduct these services on a time and materials basis in accordance with the attached rate schedule and terms and conditions of the Professional Services Agreement between Geosyntec and the City of Seaside executed July 3, 2024. The estimated cost for the above scope of services is $159,300, which will not be exceeded without your written approval, is summarized in the following Table:

Item No.: 8.I.
TO: City Council
FROM: Craig Malin, Interim City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Recreation Director
Leslie Llantero, Assistant Engineer
DATE: November 21, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR
THE HILBY AVENUE TRAFFIC CALMING IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT BETWEEN FREMONT BOULEVARD TO GENERAL JIM
MOORE BOULEVARD AND APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH PARAMETRIX
INC. TO PREPARE BID DOCUMENTS FOR THE AMENDED
PROJECT SCOPE FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $16,310.00
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution amending the scope of work for a portion of the Hilby Avenue Traffic Calming Improvement Project between Fremont Boulevard and General Jim Moore Boulevard and authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to the professional services agreement with Parametrix Inc. to prepare bid documents for the amended project scope for an amount not to exceed $16,310.00.
BACKGROUND
The Hilby Avenue Traffic Calming Improvements Project (Project) is an approved project in the FY 2024/2025 Capital Improvement Program. The Project will install traffic calming measures along the entire Hilby Avenue corridor from Canyon Del Rey Boulevard to General Jim Moore Boulevard. The Project presented to the City Council includes red curbing at intersections, centerline and edge line striping, median islands, high visibility crosswalks, speed cushions, slurry seal, sharrows, signage and pavement markings throughout the corridor. The Project was 100% designed and ready for public bidding in June 2024. Around the same time, the draft Storm Drain Master Plan revealed inadequacies in the storm drain network on Hilby Avenue and the Project was Packet Page 74
Item No. 8.I. Page 2 of 2
subsequently put on hold. Due to the pending storm drain improvements alignment and uncertain time frame for implementation, an amended Project scope is being presented to provide traffic calming measures that will be minimally impacted by future construction of storm drain improvements on Hilby Avenue.
The amended Project scope will construct the full design on Hilby Avenue from Canyon Del Rey to Fremont Boulevard and amended the traffic calming measures on Hilby Avenue from Fremont Boulevard to General Jim Moore Boulevard. Traffic calming measures on the amended portion of Hilby Avenue include 8 speed cushions, red curbing at intersections, center line striping, pavement markings, and signage. The construction cost estimated for the reduced Project scope is $304,000.00. Once the storm drain improvements are designed, the remaining traffic calming measures will be incorporated into the storm drain project bid documents and be constructed consecutively. If approved, the amended Project scope is estimated to be publicly bid by late January 2025.
Parametrix Inc. (Parametrix) professional services agreement includes preparation of a preliminary traffic calming plan, public outreach and public survey, traffic calming design, bid support and construction coordination for the Hilby Avenue Traffic Calming Improvement Project. The City requested, and Parametrix provided, a proposal to prepare bid document for the amended Project scope, as outlined above, for an amount not to exceed $16,310.00.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are adequate funds in the Traffic Calming Project account No. 212-8960-9580 to accommodate the estimated construction cost and the amendment to Parametrix's professional service agreement for an amount not to exceed $16,310.00 for a total agreement amount not to exceed $223,790.00.

TO: Leslie Llantero, City of Seaside
FROM: David Parisi, Jimmy Jessup, Parametrix
SUBJECT: Proposal for Alteration of Hilby Traffic Calming Project to Reduced Design Dear Ms. Llantero:
Thank you for contacting Parametrix, Inc. for your transportation engineering needs. Pursuant to your request, Parametrix has prepared this proposal for an amendment to the existing Hilby Avenue Traffic Calming Project agreement, in order to adjust existing engineering designs to reflect a scaleddown near-term implementation of the project. Our proposed work will consist of the following task:
1. 95% PS&E Package: Parametrix will utilize existing Hilby Avenue Traffic Calming Project 100% Plans, Specifications, and Estimate package, and adjust these to produce an updated 95% PS&E package. This update will reflect the following:
o Hilby Avenue between Canyon Del Rey to Fremont Boulevard: implementation as per full existing plan set
o Hilby Avenue between Fremont Boulevard to General Jim Moore Boulevard: reduced plans, to include
▪ Red curb
▪ Center line striping
▪ Speed cushions – asphalt as currently designed
▪ Pavement markings
▪ Signage
Deliverables for this task will include the same items as the existing contract, which include • Plans: Title sheet & notes, project layout and control, and BMPs, demolition, civil, striping, and signage plans
• Project specifications
• Construction cost estimate built from quantity takeoffs. Separate cost estimates will be provided for the two corridor extents identified above.
2. 100% Bid Set PS&E: Parametrix will integrate one set of non-conflicting comments compiled by the City relating to the design and will prepare a 100% final bid set. The budget for this task assumes that the City’s comments from the 95% phase will cover all substantive design issues. Comments received on the 100% Plans concerning design issues not previously identified and discussed at the 95% design that trigger an additional submittal may be subject to additional cost. In addition to the Plans, Specifications, and Estimate, a construction bid table will be produced for the full extent of the corridor in XLSX format.

3. Bid Support and Construction Coordination: Parametrix will provide support to the City in responding to questions during the bid. Pre-construction, and construction stages.
Parametrix will respond to product submittals and Requests for Information from the contractor and address other design issues raised during construction.
We can conduct the first task within six overall weeks of contract finalization, and the second task within three weeks of receiving City comments on the Task 1 submittal. Attendance at hearings are not included as part of this proposal, and can be accommodated for an additional fee.
Parametrix will conduct work on a time and materials basis. Our estimated fee for conducting this work is $16,310, as per the table below.
If you concur with the above work plan and terms, we will arrange for finalizing an agreement. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

DATE: November 21, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROPRIATING $20,200.00 FROM
THE MEASURE X FUND BALANCE TO THE PAVEMENT
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ACCOUNT TO FUND THE PROGRAM
UPDATE AND SOFTWARE ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving a budget amendment authorizing the Finance Director to appropriate $20,200.00 from the Measure X Fund balance to the Pavement Management Program Account for the Program Update and software annual subscription.
BACKGROUND
For the City to remain eligible and receive Measure X funds, and to insure timely implementation of street repairs, and to keep the public informed, the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) requires each jurisdiction receiving Measure X funds to develop a Pavement Management Program (PMP), provide program updates, and submit regular reports on the conditions of their streets. The PMP tracks inventory, stores work history and furnishes budget estimates to optimize funding for improving the City's pavement network system utilizing a software program called StreetSaver.
This year the pavement condition for the arterial and collector street segments will be evaluated and treatment unit costs updated and reflected in the Measure X Annual Compliance Plan that will be submitted to TAMC by December 31, 2024. On September 19, 2024, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Pavement Engineering Inc. to conduct the pavement condition evaluations and update the PMP for an amount not to exceed $24,990.00 including written amendments such that the total agreement does not exceed $29,988.00.
Packet Page 81
Item No. 8.J. Page 2 of 2
The Pavement Management Program is an approved project in the FY 2024/2025 Capital Improvement Program funded by Measure X. Currently, there is $12,809.00 budgeted in this account, and an additional $20,200.00 is needed to cover the full amount of the PSA in addition to the annual software subscription of StreetSaver. It is proposed to appropriate $20,200.00 from the Measure X Fund balance to the Pavement Management Program account No. 212-8990-9600.
FISCAL IMPACT
The approved FY 2024/2025 Budget estimated the fund balance for Measure X to be $1.1M.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.K.
TO: City Council
FROM: Craig Malin, Interim City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Recreation Director
DATE: November 21, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION FOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT FUNDS FOR THE PROPOSITION 47 GRANT PROGRAM: SAFE
NEIGHBORHOODS AND SCHOOLS ACT THROUGH THE BOARD
OF STATE AND COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS IN THE AMOUNT
OF $6,022,619.00 AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO
SIGN THE GRANT AGREEMENT AND MAKE A REQUEST FOR A
BUDGET MODIFICATION PER COUNCIL DIRECTION
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the acceptance of grant funds for the Proposition 47 grant program, and authorize the City Manager to sign the grant agreement.
BACKGROUND
In April 2024 the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) released the Prop 47 Cohort 4 RFP to California public agencies in partnership with community based organizations. The application period closed on June 10, 2024. Propsals selected for funding will be under agreement with the BSCC from October 3, 2024, to June 30, 2028. The term of the grant agreement includes the grant service delivery period and an additional six months to finalize and submit the required Final Local Evaluation Report and financial audit.
The Village Project Inc. wanted to apply for the Proposition 47 Grant Program: Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act. However, per the grant guidelines, a Public Agency must be the lead agency in a partnership with a Community Based Organization. The Village Project Inc., reached out to the City to see if there was an opportunity to partner in this opportunity. In collaboration with the Police Department and the Recreation Department, it was determined that the City would like to assist in this Packet Page 85
Item No. 8.K. Page 2 of 4
endeavor with our long-standing community partner.
Proposition 47 was a voter approved initiative on the November 4, 2014, general election ballot. As stated in the ballot measure:
The People enacted the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act to ensure that prison spending is focused on violent and serious offenses, to maximize alternatives for nonserious, nonviolent crime, and to invest the savings generated from this act into prevention and support programs in K-12 schools, victim services, and mental health and drug treatment.
As further stated in the proposition, the Board of State & Community Corrections responsibilities are to:
Administer a grant program to public agencies aimed at supporting mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, and diversion programs for people in the criminal justice system, with and emphasis on programs that reduce recidivism of the people convicted of less serious crimes, such as those covered by this measure and those who have substance abuse and mental health problems.
On October 3, 2024, staff was notified by the BSCC that the Recreation Department was being funded in the amount of $6,022, 619.00. They stated that this was a very competitive cycle and $167 million was awarded to communities throughout the state.
Working in conjunction with the Village Project Inc., the goal of the project is to provide culturally appropriate diversion and case management services to juveniles and adults in the criminal justice system to reduce recidivism in Monterey County. Services will include in-jail meetings and service introduction sessions, including petitions for reclassification, clinical treatment plans and therapy for those struggling with mental illness and/or substance abuse-use disorders, and guidance support to achieve selfexpressed goals through individual case plans. Reintegration services and support will include petitions for reclassification or dismissal, family reunification, acquisition of documentation to access jobs, and referrals to training and jobs.
In addition, there will be a Community Reintegration Collaborative which will advise the City on;
• How to identify and prioritize the most pressing needs to be addressed (to include target population, target area, etc.)
• How to identify the strategies, programs and/or services to be undertaken to address those needs.
• The development of the grant project
• Ongoing implementation of the grant project
Packet Page 86
Item No. 8.K. Page 3 of 4
Staff is also requesting direction from the City Council for a budget modification with regard to the following budget line item:
2b. Services and Supplies
Mobile Hygiene supplies for the shower/restroom unit - $20,000 Water costs for the mobile shower unit - $8,000
6b. Equipment/Fixed Assets
2 station shower and restroom portable combo unit - $50,000 The budget modification is being requested because when staff put together the budget, they did not have enough time to fully look into the operation of a mobile shower unit for the community. It has been determined that this type of program exceeds the scope that City Staff can commit to during the lifecycle of the grant. The only caveat with these funds, is if they are reallocated, they will need to be for a similar program that will help homeless individuals & families with reintegration.
In the event that the funds are not reallocated and are unspent, they will be reverted into the Proposition 47 fund. It is not uncommon for grantees to have unspent funds due to unforeseen changes or challenges.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total amount of the grant is $6,022,619 which will be distributed to the City over a four-year cycle. However, $4,660,183 of the funds will be distributed to the Village Project Inc. as a sub recipient of the grant. The City's allocation of the funds are as follows:
Salaries and Benefits - $472,231 (Includes one new grant fuinded FTE) Services and Supplies - $49,000
Professional Services or Public Agency Subcontracts - $32,800 Project Evaluation and Monitoring - $100,000
Compliance Audit - $25,000
Equipment Fixed Assets - $122,000
Other (Travel, Training) - $13,894
Indirect costs - $547,511
Total - $1,362,436

Section 1. Project
Need
The needs to be addressed by the Prop 47 program include mental health care and substance use disorder treatment to reduce recidivism.
According to the CA Health Care Foundation, nearly one in six CA adults (17%) experience a mental illness and one in 13 children (8%) has an emotional disturbance that limits their participation in daily activities (7).
According to a 2022 survey, Monterey County is in a mental health crisis. 71% had difficulty accessing health care, 53% had trouble getting an appointment, 51% had symptoms of chronic depression, and 19% unable to get mental health services. On the top ten identified community health needs, mental health ranked #2, access to health care services ranked #3, and substance use and housing ranked 6 and 7 respectively. In South Monterey County, 52% worry about making rent, 52% are food insecure, and 40% are personally impacted by substance use (9). These are significant gaps in services for the population as a whole. For the population of offenders, the numbers are much worse.
In CA, of 36,086 offenders released in 2018-19, 23% had a mental health designation with 41.9% convicted within three years of their release (1). Of 35,447 offenders released in 2017-18 (most recent report 11/23), 59.4% had a Substance Use Disorder Treatment Need. Those released to Parole had the highest conviction rate within three years, at 51.6% (2). In previous years, the juvenile recidivism rate stood at 97% in Monterey County. “We have quite a few here that are coming in off the streets and they’re completely off medication, they’re completely delusional. So it takes several weeks sometimes to get to a point of where you can start treating the mental illness,” said Kenyon (4). California's juvenile recidivism rate is among the highest in the nation. In California, first time juvenile offenders have more than an 80% chance of being re-arrested within three years.
Monterey County Behavioral Health found that of the 1,486 participants in their Cohort II (2020-23), 15% needed Behavioral Health services and 58% needed Substance Use Treatment (6). Recruitment rates direct from incarceration were low, most likely due to their cohort’s 75% Latinx population, who have a traditional avoidance of government and public agencies, stemming from fear of and negative experiences with government in their cultural ancestry. A 2023 article found in Latinx immigrants, a link between experience with law enforcement and concerns about accessing public mental health benefits. They found a ripple effect across entire families from those who were not migrants but knew Packet Page 109
someone who had been deported. Out of 1100 subjects, 47% reported knowing someone who had been deported (5).
According to the California Reducing Disparities Project, reasons for disparities include health care providers delivering services with an inadequate cultural understanding of diverse communities, which contributes to underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis of mental illness. Lack of access to culturally competent and quality care is another reason. There continues to be a stigma of mental illness, especially for Latinx and Black populations. Systemic racism: a disproportionate number of people of color with mental health needs end up in the criminal justice system rather than in the mental health care system. Between 50% and 75% of youth in the juvenile justice system meet criteria for a mental health disorder but rather than receiving treatment, they are incarcerated (7).
Another need is to have a supply of mental health and transitional services that last longer than three months. Although rates of depression are lower for Blacks (24.6%) and Latinx (19.6%) compared to Whites (34.7%), their depression is likely to be more persistent. Substance Use Disorder can linger for an individual’s entire life. The BSCC’s Cohort 11 Statewide Evaluation found that the grant program effectively reduces recidivism rates in program participants who received ongoing services (p24).
The target population is measurable. The target population for this project are juveniles and adults in the criminal justice system in Monterey County.
Monterey County Crime Statistics in 2022 reveal 1,877 felony arrests and 4,669 misdemeanor arrests for a total of 6,546 arrests. The Probation caseload was 2,244 adults. Of juveniles arrested, 64 were felonies and 153 misdemeanors for a total of 217. Blacks accounted for 449, and Latinx 2,950 for a total of 3,399 people of color (8). Females accounted for 25% of arrests. Current statistics will be available through Monterey County Sheriff’s office and incarceration facilities. The Monterey County Public Defender Office also has access to arrest records and disposition. This project has a member of the Public Defender Office on its Local Advisory Committee.
The CDC considers social determinants such as employment, income, and housing as factors that can influence mental health and access to substance use treatment (7). For those recently released from incarceration, stable housing and food are immediate needs, and the foundation for approaching other needs such as mental health care and Substance Use Disorder Treatment, and employment.
Monterey County has a rental vacancy rate of 4.4%, now ranked the fourth most expensive place to live in California, with an increase in rental rates of 30% in the last year (KSBW). According to the BSCC Cohort II Statewide Evaluation, many grantees reported that finding stable, affordable housing for participants was challenging, with a lack of available rental units. Screening barriers, especially for individuals with felony convictions, and the discouraging housing application process also hindered participants’ progress towards obtaining stable housing. It was interesting to note that those with independent housing had lower recidivism rates than those staying with family members.
Packet Page 110
Finding and obtaining employment for ex-offenders comes with its own set of barriers and gaps. In Monterey County, it is estimated that 27% of the population lacks a high school diploma, so appropriate jobs for those who have lost skills while being incarcerated are difficult to find. The Village House reports formerly incarcerated men and women returning to their communities have barriers such as finding jobs that pay a livable wage, difficulties in writing and filling out applications, and lack of documentation and work histories.
Although The Village Project (TVP) was founded to address the unmet needs of the African American population, they have always served the historically unserved and underserved populations to include, API, Latinx, Native/Indigenous, LGBTQ+. TVP programming is individualized and “meets them where they are”.
TVP will provide therapy, systems navigation, and case management to participants using their successful eco-systems approach. First, each participant will receive a comprehensive intake assessment that utilizes tools that engage them to provide information they themselves determine to be needed to help. This assessment includes safety evaluation and response, family assessment, treatment planning, service provision, case evaluation and case closure. All of this is necessary to create a case plan that is developed in collaboration with the case manager. This model encourages self-determination and allows participants to self-identify their goals whereby they then take ownership and buy-in of the outcomes they want for themselves.
Participants review systems to navigate through an ecomap that allows them to identify which systems they will engage with, i.e, school, drug treatment, church, medical, etc. Participants will have regular check-ins with their case manager and a warm hand-off will be provided between the participant and a therapist. Participants will be offered traditional as well as equine therapy. All TVP services are based on a culturally congruent approach.
The Village Project, Inc. was founded by two social workers who were aware that the African Americans and other people of color the agency would serve would have histories of profound trauma. Racism and other forms of oppression were often primary causes of that trauma, along with other factors such as abuse, neglect, untreated mental illness and other unresolved issues. As a result, the founders developed a policy of providing trauma-informed therapy and other services. Groups such as the Challenges Group for Boys/Young Men, Young Ladies of Empowerment, Grief and Loss, One Circle Group for African American and Latinx former youth rivals, and Emotional Emancipation Circles all use trauma-informed strategies and practices. For this project a Latinx/Indigenous healer is added to offer culturally congruent therapy in South Monterey County.
Section 2.
Community
Engagement
The Village Project, Inc. is a CDEP and has subject matter expertise related to community defined, culturally affirming practices, grounded in serving underserved, unserved and inappropriately served communities.
The Village Project became aware of the RFP during the day of the webinar. The Village Project is a non-public entity, in accordance with the Packet Page 111
RFP, we immediately thought about our public agency partners with which we currently engage. The City of Seaside is one such public entity. We have a long-term collaboration with the City of Seaside. At the City of Seaside’s request, the Village Project gave birth to the Seaside Youth Resource Center, developing the model for service delivery, hired the staff and incubated the center for one-year, before handing it over to the City 6 years ago. We looked to BIPOC community members from throughout Monterey County who are trusted members of their communities and asked for their support, In the interest of complete transparency, we asked that they inform their community members about the LAC. As a result, and in compliance with the grant requirements, an initial team was formed to accommodate the entire county. Initial team members are the subject matter experts in the various communities related to service delivery and are trusted members of their respective communities. Each of the team members has a history of serving underserved community members. If we receive this grant, collectively, we will cast a wider net throughout Monterey County so that no one is left behind that would like to serve on the LAC.
Input was obtained from a cross-section of stakeholders and other interested parties through focus groups and interviews with the key informants that led to the formation of the initial LAC team.
Community partners were selected based on their history of serving underserved members of their various communities. They are trusted members of their communities and have demonstrated commitment and efforts to work with those in society that have been left behind.
Often, grassroots CBOs that are doing work that serves underserved community members, and are making a difference, are not informed about RFP's such as this until the very last minute. Based on our commitment to serving those individuals from our communities that are impacted and unserved, underserved, and inappropriately served, we were able to quickly pull together the LAC team based on the unmet needs of the people we serve and because of the trusting relationship we have with community members and partner stakeholders. We have qualitative first-hand knowledge of the needs of our communities because we are on front line and have successful outcomes.
The steps that ensured the process was fair and inclusive, comprehensive and transparent are articulated above.
To ensure meetings are sufficiently noticed and accessible to the public and include opportunities for participation will include announcements through various media. For example, during the Public Comment section at City Council meetings, announcements will be made to let stakeholders know meeting dates, times and locations, in English and Spanish. Other outlets will include meetings being posted on our various websites, on QR code and social media platforms, as well as churches and other gathering spaces throughout the communities.

Section 3. Project
Description
The lead agency, the City of Seaside, is partnering with CBO The Village Project, Inc (a 501 c 3 nonprofit) and others to carry out the goals and objectives of delivering reentry services to the recently released population returning to Monterey County. The Village Project will provide case management services, therapy, transportation, and other transitional services needed for the participants based on “meeting participants where they are.”
The approach that will be taken will be one in which culturally affirming interventions will be provided to each of the participants with a tailor-made clinical treatment and case plan, based on their self-determined needs and identity. This approach will incapsulate participant input related to their hopes, dreams and aspirations.
There are several community partners collaborating. The Seaside Police Department will make referrals to the Seaside Family Support social work department or the Seaside Youth Resource Center when they encounter a participant to be screened to receive services from the project. Based on the City’s assessment, they will be referred to The Village Project, who will then conduct an intake assessment to screen them to determine if they meet the criteria of the grant requirements. The role of the City of Seaside begins with its Family Support Program department. Derrick Elder, Family Support Practitioner, is part of the LAC team. They are an outreach and first contact agency, who will assess and provide crisis/emergency services, then refer the individual to The Village Project if further services are indicated.
One of the partners is Yamilet Barcenas-Portugal, a practitioner providing culturally affirming healing practices to the population in the King City and South County region. This practitioner is a lifelong member of the King City, California community and is a trusted practitioner among the people in the community she serves. She is prepared to provide clinical interventions with those who come before her in a linguistic and culturally affirming manner.
The next partner in the South County region is the President of the Greenfield League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Council, Beatriz Diaz, who has strong ties to the Greenfield community of indigenous farm worker community members. This partner will be vetting a case manager who will be able to provide culturally affirming case management services and has the linguistic capacity to meet this population where they are.
The next South County partner, Beatriz Vega-Morga, is from Herrera Consulting LLC. She is a member of the LAC team and a lifelong member of the Soledad, CA community where there are two prison institutions, Salinas Valley State Prison and The Correctional Training Facility in Packet Page 113
Soledad, CA. This partner worked for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and brings subject matter expertise (SME) related to infrastructure of the prison system. This partner also worked on cohorts 1 and 2 providing SME and services to the population in South County. She brings a wealth of Prop 47 knowledge to the LAC team and lived experience to inform best practices, as well as culturally affirming approaches to working with the South County region.
The Village Project is a Culturally Defined Evidence Based Practice. They are one of the 35 Implementation Pilot Projects, out of the CA Dept. of Public Health’s, Office of Health Equity (CDPH/OHE) that is running a research project evaluated by research scientists from Loyola Marymount University (LMU) for the Statewide Evaluation (SWE) and local evaluator, Dr. Grace Carroll, a research scientist.
Dr. Carroll has a lived history with TVPI in that she serves as the lead evaluator for The Village Project’s IPP. Her body of work spans many decades. She is a published author and has ties to the community as she is from the community and left to attend college at Stanford University. This local evaluator is also intimately familiar with our needs in Monterey County and her work with our CDEP, as has been published within the SWE and available for review from the public. The CDEPs are now on the same level as EBPs but have a profound impact on BIPOC/LGBTQ+ communities throughout the State of CA. The Village Project, Inc. is the only CBO with a CDEP on the Central Coast.
The program goals include the reduction of recidivism among reentering adults and juveniles, improved mental health well-being and substance use abstinence interventions and participant completion of clinical and personal plans.
The objectives for improving mental health well-being and substance use abstinence interventions include facilitating access to healthcare and other essential services such as substance use treatment linkages, increased understanding of reentry challenges on the part of practitioners and providing sustained engagement and therapeutic services. The last goal mentioned involves objectives of conducting clinical assessments, creating treatment plans based on client needs, hopes and aspirations, implementing therapeutic interventions, monitoring and adjusting treatment plans based on needs, developing personal growth plans, evaluating progress and achievements, and preparing for therapy conclusion.
We have members of our LAC team that worked in cohort one and two.
Our approach will be to have key contact with state, local, and federal law enforcement jurisdictions that will allow for referrals to be made to our project. We will work with Monterey County jail and the parole office in order to provide information about how referrals can be made to this project for those participants returning to Monterey County.
The risk/needs assessment will be evaluated based on interviews with the participants. We will be able to determine if they are low, moderate or high risk offenders. Based on their needs, we will refer them to the appropriate partner, accordingly.
Packet Page 114
If the person identified has an immediate need for substance abuse education and intervention, we will provide a referral to the appropriate partner. We will bring appropriate stakeholders onto the LAC so that they are a contributing SME to the team.
The services that our respective agencies will be providing will be to meet each participant where they are. We are planning on taking a proactive approach in that prior to individuals being released from incarceration we will know who they are, have their demographic information and interview them as well as conduct an assessment to determine what their needs are.
For example, if there is a Latinx inmate from a South county city we will refer them to that particular service provider who will follow the same strategies that we will all be trained on based on the tools that will be consistent across each provider.
The types of services that will be provided to each participant will be based on what their needs are after conducting the assessment. The participant will have a case plan created by themselves and the case manager reflecting their goals and objectives needed to reengage as an active member in their community.
The plan for selecting the types and kinds of services to be provided for each participant involves participant input at intake. The first priority is to determine if each participant has food, clothing and shelter needs met.
Therefore, we will explore if they have existing family that will provide space for them to return to. Part of the budget includes transitional housing.
Therefore, if an individual has no other alternative for housing they will be assessed to enter our transitional housing program.
As mentioned earlier, services will be delivered in a mindful and best practice approach. It is difficult to predetermine length of treatment.
The design and implementation plan of this project stems from TVP’s experience in community driven service creation and delivery. The design and implementation of this project follows in that tradition. As a result, the partners and collaborators, all of whom have preexisted for many years, understand and appreciate this fact.
The case manager will conduct a complete and comprehensive review of the clients historical needs. The case manager will determine what types of services the participant would benefit from. The case manager will develop a case plan and provide input to the clinician.
As pointed out earlier, TVP has always been community-driven. This necessarily meant being culturally responsive, culturally focused and culturally driven. Clinicians, as part of their training are trained to work with clients within and across cultures. Additionally, clinicians by necessity are trained in trauma-informed therapeutic strategies. An especial focus for clinicians is working with clients who are suffering racialized trauma, which most of our clients from our BIPOC communities suffer. As well, our clinicians are adept at working with focus on gender, gender identity and intersectionalties. Clients in this program will have immediate access to clinical services.

Principles of restorative justice include accountability, inclusion, safety, empowerment, reintegration, engagement and participation, respect, service among others. As an agency that was founded on social justice principles, restorative justice has been a major aspect of all of TVP’s work.
Restorative justice, by its very nature, requires culturally responsive services. While restorative justice in many cases will necessarily involve those returning to ask for forgiveness and make some sort of restitution through service or other means, they must also learn to forgive themselves as an act of healing. The mental health care each of them will receive will be of great assistance in this process as part of their healing.
Stigma is one barrier that has been reduced.
In the past there were no culture- affirming programs. Since its founding, The Village Project has helped fill that void. The program is free, thus eliminating the barrier of cost. The Village Project also has an equine therapeutic component modality for clients to receive therapy.
Leveraged funding will be provided by the City of Seaside administration salaries per budget. The Seaside Youth Resource Center works with youth who are on probation or who have recently been released from Juvenile Hall. We provide mentoring, as well as employment for these youth. The Seaside Police Department will also divert youth to the Resource Center in lieu of going to Juvenile Hall or issuing criminal citations. Here are the Youth Center leveraged funds:
Per year:
Youth Center Supervisor - $86,319 - 25% of salary - $21,579 Youth Resource Center Coordinator - $74,923 - 35% of salary - $26,223 PT Youth Resource Center Coordinator - $53,086 - 35% of salary - $18,580
Youth Interns (at risk Employees hired for program)
5 employees - $16.00 an hour - 999 hours per year = 5(16 x999) = $79,920.

- Start-up Phase: During this phase, the evaluator will collaborate with the project team to develop a detailed evaluation plan. This includes identifying key performance indicators, data collection methods, and timelines. Staff will receive training on evaluation procedures.
-Implementation Phase: The evaluator will conduct regular monitoring activities, such as site visits, staff interviews, and program record reviews, to ensure that interventions are implemented as intended. Formative feedback will be provided to make necessary adjustments. -Service Delivery Phase: Continuous monitoring will be conducted to track the quality of service delivery. The evaluator will collect and analyze data on participant engagement, program adherence, and service quality. - Final Evaluation: At the project's conclusion, a comprehensive evaluation report will be produced, detailing the effectiveness of interventions, lessons learned, and recommendations for future projects.
2. Process and Outcome Measures
Process Measures:
- Participant Enrollment: Tracking the number of participants enrolled in the program.
- Service Utilization: Monitoring the frequency and type of services utilized by participants.
- Program Adherence: Assessing the extent to which interventions are delivered as planned.
Outcome Measures:
-Recidivism Rates: As defined by the BSCC, including re-arrests, reconvictions, and re-incarcerations within a specified period. - Mental Health Outcomes: Improvements in mental health status, measured by standardized assessment tools.
- Substance Use Reduction: Decrease in substance use, measured through self-reports and drug screenings.
- Completion of Plans: Number of participants who successfully complete their clinical and personal plans.

Packet Page 118
Data will be collected at regular intervals throughout the program, including at program completion and follow-up periods. Methods will include participant surveys, interviews, focus groups, and review of administrative records.
Data Analysis:
Quantitative data will be analyzed using statistical methods to measure changes in key outcomes. Qualitative data will be analyzed to understand participant experiences and identify factors contributing to program success or challenges.
4. Data Sharing Agreements
The lead agency will enter into data-sharing agreements with relevant agencies, including the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and local law enforcement agencies, to obtain recidivism data. These agreements will comply with all legal and ethical standards, ensuring the confidentiality and security of participant information. Regular meetings will be held with data-sharing partners to facilitate smooth data exchange and address any issues that arise.

Item No.: 9.A.
TO: City Council
FROM: Craig Malin, Interim City Manager
BY: Andrew Myrick, Economic Development & Community Planning Manager DATE: November 21, 2024
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE TO MODIFY TITLE 19 OF THE SEASIDE
MUNICIPAL CODE MODIFYING THE ALLOWABLE NUMBER OF
CANNABIS DISPENSARIES AND MAKING OTHER CHANGES TO
THE OPERATION AND SELECTION OF CANNABIS
DISPENSARIES WITHIN THE CITY OF SEASIDE. THIS ITEM IS
EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15061(B) OF THE CEQA
GUIDELINES (SECOND READING - ROLL CALL VOTE)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt an ordinance to modify title 19 of the Seaside Municipal Code modifying the allowable number of cannabis dispensaries and making other changes to the operation and selection of cannabis dispensaries within the City of Seaside.
BACKGROUND
Following adoption of Proposition 65 legalizing the "adult" (ie recreational) use of cannabis in November 2016, in September 2017 the Seaside City Council adopted Ordinance 1043, which added Title 19 to its Municipal Code. Title 19 established the application process and operating requirements for cannabis-related businesses. Under Ordinance 1043 a maximum of three dispensaries could be permitted in the City.
Following a review of applications for dispensaries in December 2017, the Council adopted Ordinance 1046 in February 2018, which increased the number of allowed dispensaries from three to six. In March 2018, the Council approved Development/Operating Agreements for six cannabis dispensaries.
In April 2021, the Council adopted Ordinance 2002, which increased the allowable Packet Page 149
Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 3
number of dispensaries was increased to a total of nine (including six in the West Broadway Urban Village and three elsewhere in the City). However, no additional dispensaries commenced operations following this amendment. Currently, there are six dispensaries with valid Use Permits and Development/Operating Agreements in the City:
Canna Cruz (680 Broadway Avenue)
Halfpipe (840 Broadway Avenue)
Higher Level of Care (310 Amador Avenue)
Rare Earth (575 Broadway Avenue)
The Reef (1904 Fremont Boulevard)
Seaside Green (1717 Fremont Boulevard)
As time passes, the industry continues to evolve and more information regarding the operations and impacts becomes available. At the June 20, 2024 City Council meeting, Council expressed concern that the currently approved number of dispensaries may be too high and requested that staff review the number of dispensaries. On September 19, staff brought draft language for modifications to the Ordinance to the Council for feedback. Council indicated that it was supportive of the Ordinance as proposed, except that the maximum allowable number of dispensaries should be set at three, with the caveat that any dispensary with valid, current approvals from the City could continue to operate so long as they operate in compliance with the terms of their Development/Operating Agreement, Conditional Use Permit, and/or State or local laws.
Staff has made adjustments to the language accordingly. The Ordinance as presented herein contains identical language to what was presented at the September 19, 2024 meeting, with the following exceptions:
1) The maximum number of allowable dispensaries has been changed from four to three. Language indicating that no more than three dispensaries could be located in the West Broadway Urban Village is now redundant and has been eliminated. 2) Language regarding the need for dispensaries to maintain (and make available for inspection) records of background checks for officers and employees has been moved from Section 19.02.020.B to Section 19.02.120.H. The proposed language has not been changed.
The proposed Ordinance Amendment is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b) of the CEQA Guidelines as the proposed changes only alter the review processes for cannabis dispensaries and there will be no changes to the land use(s) allowed by the Zoning Ordinance at any location within the City.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 9.B.
TO: City Council
FROM: Craig Malin, Interim City Manager
BY: Nick Borges, Police Chief
DATE: November 21, 2024
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SEASIDE MUNICIPAL CODE
CHAPTER 6.04 AND ADDING NEW SECTIONS 6.04.025,
6.04.155, 6.04.156, 6.04.157 AND 6.04.158 REQUIRING SPAY
AND NEUTERING, CERTIFICATIONS FOR UNALTERED
ANIMALS, BREEDING PERMITS AND VIOLATIONS (SECOND
READING - ROLL CALL VOTE)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt an ordinance amending Seaside Municipal Code chapter 6.04 and adding new sections 6.04.025, 6.04.155, 6.04.156, 6.04.157 and 6.04.158 requiring spay and neutering, certification for unaltered animals, breeding permits and violations.
BACKGROUND
Every year, hundreds of animals enter the two shelters in Monterey County. Sadly, many animals are euthanized every year if they are not adopted. Around 42% of cats that enter a Monterey County Animal Shelter are euthanized each year. A female cat can get pregnant at four months of age and give birth to four litters of kittens per year.
An average litter of kittens produces about five kittens. One cat can give birth to nearly 2,265 kittens in her lifespan. A female cat and her offspring can be responsible for over 57,000 kittens being born from just one un-spayed female cat.
There are similar numbers related to dogs as well. One female & one male dog can create sixteen puppies during the first year and in just six years' time, she and her offspring can be responsible for 67,000 puppies being born. Spaying and neutering has been proven to reduce the number of animals living on the streets. It also significantly reduces hundreds of cats & dogs being euthanized in Monterey County shelters every year. Many people struggle with paying for pet medical care and costs associated with Packet Page 170
Item No. 9.B. Page 2 of 2
spay/neutering at a veterinarian can be expensive ($300 to over $1,500 per pet).
Many people who illegally breed cats/dogs know they can just bring unsold liters to the SPCA and the Police Department legally inherits the costs (near $245 per animal).
Animal overpopulation in our city has many effects. We have encountered many acts by cat/dog owners that are inhumane as a result. Spaying and neutering helps reduce the burden on our city by controlling the number of strays and unwanted animals in the community. Irresponsible or accidental breeding contributes to dog attacks, dog bites, excessive barking calls, properties with unsanitary conditions due to animals and stray dogs roaming the streets looking for a mate. Seaside spends thousands of dollars every year on providing care for unwanted, abandoned and neglected animals. Having a spay/neuter requirement in our municipal code allows checks and balances and an avenue to investigate and enforce the growing challenge of breeding cats and dogs.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 10.A.
TO: City Council
FROM: Craig Malin, Interim City Manager
BY: Sheri Damon, City Attorney
Alfred Soto, Code Compliance Coordinator
Roberto De Avila, Code Compliance Specialist
DATE: November 21, 2024
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON PENDING CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AT THE
SEABREEZE APARTMENTS
RECOMMENDATION
Recieve an update on the pending code enforcement actions at the Seabreeze Apartments.
BACKGROUND
The Seabreeze Apartments, previously known as the San Pablo Apartments, consist of 121-unit complex within twelve buildings. In late August, the City engaged with concerned citizens about potential health and safety issues, including a cockroach infestation. The City Attorney clarified that while the City's authority addresses infestations, other matters were landlord-tenant issues outside municipal jurisdiction.
Since August 29, 2024, the Code Enforcement Department has received 46 complaints, initiating immediate inspections with Spanish-speaking code enforcement officers to assist residents. Initial inspection letters to the property owner/manager requested a licensed exterminator's plan by August 30, 2024. Since then, 32 letters addressing insect infestations, mold, and habitability issues have been issued. Seven complainant units have declined City inspections, a prerequisite for enforcement actions.
Extermination Plan Implementation
The exterminator's initial treatment plan, received on or about September 13, 2024, identified German cockroaches as the target pest and proposed a plan of treatment that included treatment with a gas fumigant (Actisol), liquid bait with IGR (growth regulator Packet Page 177
Item No. 10.A. Page 2 of 5
to help address ongoing breeding and egg laying) and dusting. The exterminator reports a noticeable reduction in roach activity. However, the City continues to monitor ongoing treatments to ensure progress through logs for treatment of the units. The City asked the professional exterminator, in its expert opinion, whether full building tenting would be more effective than the proposed ongoing treatment of the individual units. However, the response from the exterminators was that the treatment plan they proposed was effective.
Community Engagement
Code Enforcement officers attended a community meeting on September 19, 2024, to update and hear residents' concerns, including challenges in unit preparation for treatment. Some of the comments focused on the difficulty in preparing their units for treatment. Preparation of the individual units for Actisol (gas fumigant) treatment is extensive.
Attached are the exact procedures as provided by Dewey Pest Control in both English and Spanish:
1) To wit, all cabinets must be emptied and put on the dining room table and covered with a sheet;
2) The counters must be cleared and wiped down;
3) The stove and refrigerator must be pulled away from the walls and cleaned behind; 4) All the drawers in the kitchen must be emptied, and the drawers placed upside down on the counters;
5) The bathroom cabinets likewise must be emptied and wiped down to prepare for treatment;
6) Residents are required to be out of their units for at least 4 hours and if they have any sensitive inhabitants (pregnant/children/health/medical issues) they need to be out for 24 hours.
Expert Consultation
The City confirmed that the exterminator, Dewey Pest Control, is a duly-licensed exterminator. The City consulted an independent expert, David Buchholtz, who affirmed Dewey Pest Control's approach aligns with best practices for managing German cockroach infestations. Mr. Buchholtz, works for another city in Southern California and who both worked as an exterminator for fifteen years prior to taking the job in the City, which among other things included code enforcement. Mr. Buchholtz, did not believe that full building fumigation would be superior, given that there would be knock down, but the gas does not kill the eggs and there would be ongoing treatments required to kill any newly hatched eggs. He also especially appreciated Dewey's recommended treatment plan to include a growth regulator in conjunction with Actesol Treatment (Gas), which helps to address the ongoing eggs and subsequent hatchlings. The treatment outlined by Dewey Pest Control is the generally accepted standard of treatment for German cockroaches. Finally, he confirmed that in his City, they follow the same protocol that the City of Seaside has followed, to require a Packet Page 178
Item No. 10.A. Page 3 of 5
professional exterminator to address the situation.
Legal Authority
The City of Seaside has for the most part adopted the International Property Maintenance Code, including Section 305.1 related to unit sanitation. Additionally and specifically, Seaside Municipal Code section 15.04.153 Pest Elimination codifies Section 309.1 and 309.2 of the International Property Maintenance Code as follows:
• 309.1 Infestation. All structures shall be kept free from insect, rodent and vermin infestation. When an insect, rodent or vermin infestation is brought to the attention of the code official, he or she may require the owner or agent having charge or control of the building, lot or premise to hire a licensed exterminator or other qualified professional to inspect the building, lot or premise and provide a written report verifying the presence and severity of such infestation including in the report a recommendation for proper extermination of the infestation. All structures in which insect, rodent or vermin infestations are found shall be promptly exterminated by approved processes that will not be injurious to human health. After the extermination of the infestation is complete, the code official may request a written notice from the licensed exterminator or other qualified professional attesting to the completion and success of the recommended extermination procedures. After the infestation is eliminated, proper precautions shall be taken to prevent re-infestation. • 309.2 Owner. The owner of any structure shall be responsible for extermination within the structure prior to renting or leasing the structure. The owner of a structure or premise containing a dwelling unit, multiple occupancy, rooming house or a nonresidential structure shall be responsible for maintaining the structure and premises in a rodent or pest-free condition. If an infestation is caused by an occupant substantially failing to properly keep their occupied area of the structure or premises as clean and sanitary as the condition of the structure or premises permits. For as long as the occupants' failure either substantially causes an unlivable condition to occur, or substantially interferes with the owners' ability to remedy the condition, the owner does not have to remedy the condition. Where the infestation is caused by defects in the structure, the owner shall be responsible for extermination.
California Health and Safety Code 17920.3(a)(12) defines a building as having inadequate sanitation if there is an insect "infestation". Finally, multiple state laws also affect landlord and tenant rights and are codified at Civil Code section 1940-1954.1).
Specifically related to pests, Civil Code section 1940.8, 1940.8.5 (notices re pesticide and extermination efforts) and Civil Code 1941.2: There is no duty on the part of a landlord to repair if the tenant is in substantial violation of at least five affirmative Packet Page 179
Item No. 10.A. Page 4 of 5
obligations, including but not limited to keep the premises in clean and sanitary, dispose of all rubbish, garbage. The provisions of the Civil Code are reflective of the Seaside Municipal Code.
It is important to note that there is not a specific legal definition of a cockroach infestation. However, there are some key points about what constitutes a cockroach problem from the following signs:
1) Cockroach sightings;
2) Droppings (resembling coffee grounds);
3) shed skins;
4) Eggs from small black or brown capsules about 1/3 inch long; and 5) a distinctive musty odor.
These signs were identified by both Code Enforcement staff inspections and the Pest Control company. Likewise, there is no legal definition of "successful treatment".
However, there are some obvious elements, such as the absence of live roaches. These are usually found on sticky traps for monitoring. Additionally, a reduction in roach activity was measured by a significant decrease in the monitoring traps, reduction in signs of roach presence (e.g. dropping, eggs or shed skins) and diminished roach odor.
The current reports from Dewey Pest Control indicate that many of these indicators are being met in multiple units. However, the treatments are ongoing.
In summary, the city's legal authority is limited. The City's obligation and focus is on compliance with the health and safety regulations and laws outlined above. The property owner's responsibility is to provide for the ongoing habitability of the units and the tenants' responsibility is to keep the premises in a sanitary condition, provide landlord notification of insects and cooperation for pest control treatments. The City does not intercede in contract disputes between landlords and tenants, such as adequate parking, notice, penalties for tenant non-compliance with lease terms or arrangements for sensitive receptors for pest control treatment.
Ongoing Enforcement Activities
As a part of the ongoing code enforcement activities, the City continues to receive regular updates and logs of the extermination activity, which includes information as to which units have been treated, which are unprepared for treatment and other issues identified by the exterminator. The City is continuing to work with any tenant who has filed a formal complaint and the property manager. Re-inspections are pending treatment completion and resolution of other habitability concerns, such as mold.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Accept the report.
BACKGROUND
In 2021, shortly after the completion of the 2020 census, and after seeing multiple agencies receive letters trying to force jurisdictions to district voting systems pursuant to the provisions of the California Voting Rights Act of 2001, the City of Seaside Council through the City Attorney retained National Demographic Corporation (NDC) to review the City's key demographics, at-large election history and provide information relative to the City's compliance with the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 (CVRA) and potential transition to a City-wide district voting system. NDC was selected as a consultant to the City Attorney due to their unique and extensive expertise in demographics and the CVRA and potential litigation issues related thereto.
National Demographic Corporation was established in 1979 and is a leading demographic expert on the CVRA. They have completed multiple demographic assessments of potential CVRA liability and completed several hundred districting or redistricting projects for counties, school districts, cities, water districts, and other local jurisdictions. NDC President, Dr. Douglas Johnson is a key expert witness in California, Nevada and Arizona. Locally, NDC has been involved in multiple distracting/redistricting efforts such as Monterey Peninsula College (?) and Pacific Grove.
Dr. Johnson updated his review of the election results from 2022 and 2024. Attached is Dr. Johnson's Executive Summary and conclusions of his review of the pertinent key demographics and election history of Seaside concludes that Seaside's at-large system of voting does not violate the CVRA and that a shift to by-district elections is likely to impair, rather than enhance, the ability of minority voters to elect their preferred Packet Page 184

candidates or otherwise influence the outcome of elections.
FISCAL IMPACT
Neutral.

Dear Ms. Damon,
NDC has worked on over 600 liability analysis and districting projects related to the California Voting Rights Act, and it has been our pleasure to work with Seaside to review the City’s situation. Following the release of the 2020 Census data, NDC reviewed the City’s demographic profile and election history.
NDC’s review included a look at election results back to 2006. Between 2006 and 2024, Latino candidates appeared on Council election ballots (or ran uncontested) seven times. All seven times the Latino candidate was elected. For Mayor, a Latino candidate appeared on the ballot six times in that time period, winning five of those six times.1
African-American candidates have a similarly long history of electoral success in Seaside, winning five of the seven times African-Americans ran for Council between 2006 and 2024, and winning the Mayoral election in 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024. While NDC has not conducted the expensive and imprecise analysis of whether the data indicate whether Latino voters support those successful Latino candidates, or of whether African-American voters supported those successful African-American candidates, we are aware of no indications to the contrary. In short, a simple review of the City’s electoral history indicates the City’s at-large election system is not in violation of the Act’s provisions.
In fact, as detailed below, a shift to by-district elections is likely to impair, rather than enhance, the ability of Latino, African-American and Asian-American / Pacific Islander voters to elect their preferred candidates or otherwise influence the outcome of elections.
The 2020 Census and the most recent American Community Survey data at the time of our review indicated that Latinos are 43% of Seaside’s total population and 28% of Seaside’s Citizen Voting Age Population (often referred to as the ‘eligible voter’ population). At 75% of the City Council, (3 of 4) Latinos’ share of the Council significantly exceeds the Latino share of eligible voters. AfricanAmericans are similarly well-represented, with the Mayor representing 20 percent of the votes at City Council while African-Americans are only 11 percent of eligible voters.
No Asian-American is on the Council or Mayor, though Asian-Americans are 11 percent of the City’s total population and 16 percent of eligible voters. But we have seen or read no indications of racially polarized voting against candidates preferred by Asian-American voters. Given the population patterns in the City, a move to by-district elections would likely impair, rather than enhance, Asian-American voting strength. Our review found that in a by-district system Asian-Americans would be, at most, 20 percent of eligible voters in a district. While 20 percent is a slight increase over their 16 percent citywide, those Asian-American voters would still be outnumbered four to one in a district that elects only one Councilmember. Outnumbered four-to-one in a single Councilmember election would be a significant reduction in Asian-Americans’ ability to influence elections compared to representing 16 percent of the eligible voters in election contests for all four Councilmembers. Being concentrated in one district, with only one seat available, also removes the opportunity for an Asian-American to build a coalition of candidates and their supporters running together for multiple seats.
A move to a by-district election system would similarly reduce Latino voters’ ability to elect their preferred candidates, because of the resulting concentration of many Latino voters in a single district. 1 I am unaware of 2024 unsuccessful Mayoral candidate Karla Lobo’s race/ethnicity, so she is not included in these counts.
