TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Alex Ramos, Assistant Engineer
MEETING DATE: February 19, 2025

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad consider and adopt Resolution No.6196 , “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Adopting the Final Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan for the City of Soledad.”
Executive Summary
The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan has been finalized and is ready for adoption by the City Council of the City of Soledad. The Plan includes Citywide recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian corridor improvements, recommendations around each school site, and non-infrastructure recommendations for education and encouragement programs. The projects in this plan will be implemented over time as funding becomes available for engineering and construction. Having an approved Safe Routes to Schools Plan is a strategy to make the City of Soledad and other south county cities more competitive in future grant applications for construction funding. Therefore, the staff is asking the City Council to consider adopting the Safe Routes to School Plan for the City of Soledad.

Background
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County, Monterey County Health Department, Ecology Action, and the cities of Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City have partnered to develop the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan ("Plan"). The three-year planning process identified barriers to safe access to 22 public schools in South Monterey County cities and recommended infrastructure and non-infrastructure improvements.

The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan identifies barriers to safe, convenient transportation and will guide future improvements around 22 public schools in five school districts.

Recommendations included in the Plan are designed to help address school-based traffic congestion and improve student health by fostering increased biking, walking, and carpooling. The project team, 43 comprised of staff from the Transportation Agency, County Health Department, Public Works staff from the four cities, School Districts, and non-profit Ecology Action, have engaged administrators, parents, and students in school bike/walk assessments, mapping activities, street demonstrations, and surveys.

The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan kicked off in spring 2022 and started outreach in the City of Soledad in fall 2022. The planning team conducted walking audits at each of the eight public schools in Soledad, gave 12 presentations at parent meetings, and received 208 responses to an online parent survey. In 2023, the planning team drafted and received community input on a list of infrastructure and non-infrastructure recommendations around the Soledad schools. Starting in fall 2022, the planning team planned and implemented four pilot projects, one in each city, to demonstrate some of the recommendations included in the plan and get community feedback. The Soledad pilot project was held on Front Street from Oak Street to Nestles Road in 2023. The planning team also formed Steering Committees in each of the four cities. Steering Committees led a democratic process called Participatory Budgeting, where community members vote to decide how public funds are spent.

TAMC provides up to $250,000 to each city to implement the highest-voted projects.

Review & Analysis
TAMC staff provided a presentation on the draft plan to Soledad City Council on November 6, 2024, and are now requesting the adoption of the final Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan, including concept infrastructure recommendations to improve access to the eight public schools in Soledad. The Executive Summary is attached to this Staff Report, and the full Plan for Soledad is provided in this Staff Report. Once the Plan has been adopted, the Cities of Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City and TAMC staff will pursue funding to implement recommendations in the Plan.

The Plan includes Citywide recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian corridor improvements, as well as recommendations around each school site and non-infrastructure recommendations for education and encouragement programs. All recommendations are planning-level and require further analysis prior to construction.

The projects in this plan will be implemented over time as funding for engineering and construction becomes available. With limited funding, the City of Soledad must decide how to prioritize the recommendations. The Plan identifies a list of eight high-priority corridors that were evaluated based on common grant criteria. These corridors were scored to help City staff and decision-makers prioritize projects and identify the most competitive projects for various grant opportunities. Grant programs often prioritize large-scale, corridor-wide improvements, and future grant applications are likely to focus on improvements to one or more streets in Soledad rather than individual projects.

Some projects that are low-cost and have community support may be incorporated into the City’s maintenance programs and installed as part of ongoing road maintenance. City staff will review the Safe Routes to Schools Plan project list when planning maintenance projects to look for ways to incorporate bike and pedestrian improvements. This allows for a highly cost-effective strategy for implementing the projects included in this plan. For larger projects, leveraging local funds with additional grant funding will be critical. Having an approved Safe Routes to Schools Plan in place is a strategy to make Salinas Valley cities more competitive in future grant applications for construction funding.
44 Resolution No. 6196
Exhibit A
SRTS - Plan Executive Summary
Financial Considerations
The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan was funded through a $664,127 Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant and $126,501 of Measure X Safe Routes to School Program funds through TAMC. Soledad City staff have contributed staff time to develop the plan.

Alternatives
Approve the resolution as presented; or
Do not approve the This is not recommended as this planning document contains years of information, survey data, and recommendations for infrastructure projects identified by the residents. This also enables the City of Soledad to leverage this document to make the city more competitive in future grant applications for construction funding.

Planning/CEQA
The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan are within the scope of, and have already been analyzed in, the Final EIR for the 2045 MTP/SCS, certified by AMBAG and approved by TAMC on June 22, 2022, and no new environmental documentation is required for adoption of the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan.

Public Notice Requirements
None required.

6 CHAPTER
48 Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 302
Soledad
Existing Conditions
This chapter discusses current conditions in Soledad related to walking, bicycling, and transit use. This includes citywide demographics and commute trends, land use and community destinations, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit options, collision data related to walking and bicycling, bicycle and pedestrian projects that are currently in progress, and existing programs.

Demographics
In 2024, Soledad's population was estimated at 26,966
people.1 The city has a lower youth population than
Monterey county as a whole, with 23.5% of residents
being under the age of 18.2 Seniors represent a smaller proportion, with 6% of residents being over the age of 65.2 The median age is 35.3, which is higher than the median for Monterey County as a whole.

Among Soledad residents, 30.2% identify as white,
76% as Hispanic or Latino, and 2% as Asian.

Forty-three percent of residents did not finish high school, and 27% completed high school as their highest level of education. Thirty percent of residents have at least some higher education, and 5% have either a bachelor’s or a
graduate degree.2
Active transportation investments are especially important in disadvantaged communities, which tend to have higher rates of walking and bicycling. According to the California Department of Education, 91% of students in Soledad
public schools qualify for free and reduced meals, which is a sign of low-income status.3 Fifty-seven percent of households have incomes of less than $50,000 per year, and 23% of families with children under 18 have incomes below the poverty level.4 1 State of California Department of Finance, 2022. dof.ca.gov/forecasting/demographics/estimates/e-4-population-estimates-for-cities-counties-andthe-state-2021-2024-with-2020-census-benchmark. 2 Census American Community Survey 2017–2021.

Commute Trends
An estimated 6,522 Soledad residents over the age of 16 are employed, and 72% of those drive to work alone. Soledad has a higher rate of driving to work alone than Monterey County as a whole.5
Overall, 11% of Soledad residents carpool to work, and 2% walk. Less than 1% bike or take public transit. About 1% of residents work from home.

Although some Soledad commuters travel outside Monterey County for work, the majority (95%) stay within the county. The average commute time is 23 minutes; 29% of commuters travel for more than 30 minutes daily, and 10% for 45 minutes or more.5
Although commute trips offer the best available data on travel modes, they represent only a percentage of trips. Comprehensive data on the percentage of Soledad residents walking or bicycling for other daily trips are not available. 5 Census American Community Survey 2017–2021.

Land Use and Major Destinations
Soledad is located north of Highway 101, but unlike other Salinas Valley communities the highway does not bisect the city. Public K–12 schools are located throughout the city, with several clustered on Gabilan Drive and Metz Road. Hartnell Community College recently opened a satellite campus in Soledad, on Orchard Lane at Metz Road. Commercial areas are located in the historic downtown along Front Street and in newer shopping centers at the southern end of the city. Other key destinations include parks, medical facilities, the Soledad Community Center, and the Soledad Library.

Existing Bicycle Network
There is currently only one type of bicycle facility in Soledad: class II bicycle lanes. These are on-street facilities that use striping and stencils to designate spaces for bicycle travel. They delineate the rights-of-way assigned to bicyclists and motorists and provide for more predictable movements by each user.

Soledad has the most comprehensive network of bicycle lanes among the Salinas Valley cities. Bike lanes are present on most streets adjacent to schools, including Gabilan Drive, West Street, Vista de Soledad, Orchard Lane, Main Street, and Metz Road. There are also bicycle lanes on many downtown streets, including Market Street, Monterey Street, and East Street.

Existing Pedestrian Network
The City of Soledad has good sidewalk coverage, with sidewalk present on nearly all roadways. There is missing sidewalk on some roadways on the edge or outside city limits, such as the north side of Metz Road east of Bryant Canyon Road.

Curb ramps provide access between the sidewalk and the street for people with disabilities, children on bicycles, and people pushing strollers. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), upgraded curb ramps must include warnings that are detectable by people with vision impairments. As the city repaves streets and installs roadway improvements, upgraded curb ramps are installed at intersections to comply with ADA standards.

Existing Transit Network
Soledad Unified School District offers busing to students based on age and the distance they live from their school, from ¾ of a mile for grades K–3 to more than two miles away for high school students. Busing is offered to special ed students and students who live in rural areas outside the city.

In addition to the transportation offered by school districts, Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) offers bus transportation to the public. Youths aged 18 and younger receive discounted fares for all trips. MST bus routes were limited in Soledad at the time this report was written, though MST is working on a new circulator route within the city. The new route will provide service every 30 minutes within Soledad and will provide access to K-12 schools and Hartnell College. The new route will launch in January 2025.

Active Transportation Safety
Bicycle and pedestrian-related collision data can be used to identify highlevel collision trends and locations with high rates of bicycle and pedestrian collisions. This analysis uses data from UC Berkeley’s Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) over the ten-year period from 1/1/2012 to 12/31/2021.

Note that the TIMS data include reported injury collisions only. Many bicycle and pedestrian collisions are not reported and therefore are not represented in this analysis.

Soledad has significant rates of collisions involving both bicyclists and pedestrians, with 37 pedestrian collisions and 9 bicyclist collisions between 2012 and 2021.1 In the 2018 California Office of Traffic Safety crash rankings report, Soledad ranked in the top ten among cities of similar size for pedestrian collisions involving youths under 15.2
People walking and bicycling in Soledad are disproportionately involved in collisions relative to drivers. Data from the TIMS show that between 2012 and 2021, 40% of serious-injury and fatality collisions in Soledad involved pedestrians and 10% involved bicyclists.1 This is disproportionate to walking and biking rates in the city, with less than 2% of work trips being made by walking or bicycling.3

Over the ten-year study period, there were 9 bicyclerelated injury collisions in Soledad, with an average of just under one collision per year. There were no fatal bicycle collisions in the ten-year period. One collisions caused severe injuries, 2 resulted in an “other visible injury,” and 6 resulted in a “complaint of pain.”

Bicycle Collision Trends
Bicycle-related collision locations are shown in Figure 6. Key takeaways from the analysis include the following:
• 10% of collisions resulting in severe injury or fatality in Soledad involved people on bikes. Although bicycle trips make up only a small percentage of the trips in Soledad, bicyclists are disproportionally involved in severe-injury and fatal collisions.
• Bicycle-related collisions were distributed throughout the city.

The intersection of Front Street and East Street was the only location with more than one.
• Bicycle collisions were almost evenly split between streets with and without bicycle lanes. Several collisions took place on small neighborhood streets.
• Youths aged 19 or younger were involved in 44% of bicycle collisions. Youths aged 14 or younger were the top age group for bicycle collisions and were involved in 33% of collisions. Male bicyclists were much more likely to be involved in collisions and made up 78% of crash victims.
• The most common bicycle collision factors, according to the reporting law enforcement officer, were drivers’ failure to yield (22%) and riding on the wrong side of the road (22%).

• 40% of fatality and severe injury collisions in Soledad involved people walking, though only 24% of collisions involved pedestrians.

Pedestrians are more likely to be killed or severely injured in collisions than drivers.
• 51% of pedestrian collisions involved youths aged 19 or younger.

Thirty-three percent involved youths under 14.
• Monterey Street was the location with the most pedestrian collisions, with 16% of them. Front Street was the second most common location, with 8% of pedestrian collisions. The remaining collisions were distributed throughout the City, with most occurring in the neighborhoods between Gabilan Drive and Front Street.
• The most common type of violation, according to the reporting law enforcement officer, was drivers’ failure to yield to pedestrians at marked or unmarked crosswalks, which accounted for 38% of all collisions. The next most common violations were drivers’ speed and pedestrians’ failure to yield to vehicles when crossing, which both accounted for 11% of collisions. Drivers were at fault in 59% of collisions.

Current and Recently
Completed Projects
Several projects have recently been completed or are underway to provide new bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Soledad.

Front Street Maintenance Project
In 2024, Soledad started construction of improvements on Front Street between Moranda Road and Nestles Road. This project includes roadway resurfacing, repair of existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk, tree replacement and landscaping updates, signage and striping improvements, street lighting upgrades, and art components. The project is funded with local sales tax Measure X and the American Rescue Plan (ARPA) and is expected to be completed in 2025.

HSIP Pedestrian Safety Improvements Project
Soledad received partial grant funding through the Highway Safety Improvement Program Cycles 10 and 11 to make pedestrian safety upgrades throughout the city. This includes upgrading existing crosswalks to high-visibility at intersections near five schools in Soledad. These projects are currently in the design phase, and additional funding is required before construction can take place.

West Street Road Diet
In 2023, the city of Soledad was awarded funding from TAMC for a road diet and bicycle improvements on West Street between Front Street and Gabilan Drive. The project will change the number of lanes on West Street from four to two and add buffered bike lanes, a center turn lane, and a landscaped median. The project is designed to slow traffic and was initiated in response to community concerns about speeding on West Street. The project is currently in the design phase, with construction expected to begin in 2025. 61 Soledad : Existing Conditions 315

Blue Zones Project Monterey County
Blue Zones Project is a national organization that works with communities to encourage changes that lead to healthier options for residents. Blue Zones works with governments, employers, restaurants, and school sites to encourage healthy eating, exercise, and community building. Blue Zones was launched in Monterey County in 2019 and works with schools in Soledad to encourage healthy habits. Learn more here: montereycounty.bluezonesproject.com.

Go831
Go831 is a free transportation-demand management program led by the Transportation Agency for Monterey County. The program is offered countywide and provides resources and incentives for commute trips made by biking, walking, carpooling, vanpooling, or public transit. Go831 also provides resources for employers who want to start incentive programs to reduce drivealone commute trips. Learn more here: go831.org. 63 Soledad : Existing Conditions 317
Measure X Safe Routes to
Schools Program
Local sales tax Measure X, which was approved
by Monterey County voters in 2016, includes
$20 million for Safe Routes to Schools projects
and programs through 2040. The Transportation
Agency for Monterey County has developed a
comprehensive Safe Routes to Schools program
that offers tools, programming, and resources
to schools, guardians, and communities aimed
at improving safety and traffic around schools.

Learn more here: saferoutesmonterey.org.

Modo Youth Programs
The Bike Safe and Walk Safe programs, led by
Ecology Action, provide on-the-ground training
in safe walking and bicycling to second- and
fifth-grade students, with the goal of empowering
students and parents to walk and bike and to
reduce collisions. Learn more here:

Public Outreach
Public input was the foundation of the Safe Routes to Schools Plan and began in the fall of 2022 in Soledad. Outreach included presentations at virtual and in-person parent meetings, digital parent surveys, and tabling at community events. Walking audits were held at each school site to review current infrastructure conditions and discuss safety issues with school staff. After the draft recommendations were developed, the planning team hosted one temporary demonstration project in each city to test the draft recommendations and get feedback from the community. Finally, Steering Committees were developed in each city to lead a participatory budgeting process.

Soledad is home to many Spanish-speaking people, and enabling equitable participation was an important part of the outreach process. All outreach materials and surveys were developed in English and Spanish, and translation was available during walking audits. Parent presentations were given primarily in Spanish, and Steering Committee meetings were conducted in Spanish with English translation available.

Walking Audits
Walking audits were held at each of the eight schools
in Soledad in fall 2022. Audits were held during school arrival or dismissal to observe traffic and infrastructure conditions around the school and discuss key safety
issues with school staff. School principals, community
liaisons, parents, and crossing guards shared
information on typical traffic patterns and safety issues for people walking and biking. These meetings were
held outside, and COVID-19 protocols were maintained to ensure participants’ safety.

Parent Meetings
At the beginning of planning, the team contacted school staff to request time on the agendas of scheduled virtual and in-person parent meetings, such as coffee klatches, site councils, and the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). In their presentations, the team shared information about the planning process and asked parents and school staff for input on any safety issues with biking and walking around the school.

Parent and Student Surveys
An initial survey was shared with parents through school communication channels, the project’s website, and social media and received 208 responses.

The survey was also sent out to students and received 494 responses. The survey asked about how students typically traveled to school before COVID-19, top concerns about letting students walk or bike to school, and current barriers to traveling to school safely.

Pilot Projects
After the draft recommendations were developed, the planning team selected one location per city for a temporary pilot project. These projects were designed to test the draft recommendations, see how the designs worked in practice, and get feedback from the community on whether they should be made permanent.

See below for more information on the Soledad pilot project and community survey data.

Meeting of Soledad Steering Committee
Steering Committees
Safe Routes to School Steering Committees
were formed in each of the four cities, from
community representatives including students,
parents, school staff, advocates, and residents.

These groups met monthly for nine months and
took active leadership roles in engaging the
community and developing projects.

Each Steering Committee led a participatory
budgeting process, a democratic process in
which community members decide how to spend
part of a public budget. The Transportation
Agency for Monterey County allocated
$250,000 per city to implement projects from
the Safe Routes to Schools Plan, and Steering
Committees developed a process for community
members to vote on which projects should
be funded.

The Soledad Committee developed project
proposals based on the recommendations in the
Safe Routes to Schools Plan and designed a
process for residents to vote on the projects that
were most important to them. The projects that
received the most votes were recommended
for funding, and Steering Committee members
presented the results to the Soledad city
council and received its approval in November
2023. Projects at four locations in the
city were recommended for funding. The
Transportation Agency board approved the
city council’s recommendations in February
2024. The City of Soledad will construct as
many recommendations as feasible with
current construction costs. The list of projects
recommended for funding in Soledad can be
found in chapter 6D.

Front Street Pilot Project
Survey Results
Highlights of the community survey data for the Front Street pilot project are provided below. The full survey data can be found in the Appendix.

The temporary installation on Front Street was located between Oak Street and Nestles Road. This section of Front Street is the only route for residents of the Santa Elena Mobile Home Park to access any of the schools in Soledad, and the only route for most residents of Soledad to access the shopping center south of Nestles Road. Front Street was selected for the pilot project because it was identified as a priority by the Soledad Steering Committee as well as community members.

At the time of the installation, there were no bicycle facilities along this section of Front Street and narrow sidewalks on both sides. The speed limit was 35 mph, but public comments indicated that drivers frequently travelled faster.

The pilot project re-purposed the shoulder on Front Street to install separated bike lanes, and high-visibility crosswalks were added at the intersections of Oak Street and Nestles Road.

Many committee members came from communities that are traditionally underrepresented in the political process and who face obstacles to participating or who feel left out. By serving on Safe Routes to Schools Steering Committees, members gained experience in leadership and participation in local government. Steering Committees also improved connections between the planning team and each community and increased public participation in the planning. Committee members were compensated for their time to recognize the value of their work and allow for equitable participation. Dinner was provided at each meeting, and childcare was provided as needed.

Separated bike lanes on Front Street during Soledad pilot project 68 Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 322
The Front Street pilot project was in place for one month. The planning team received 119 community survey responses during this time. The following methods were used to promote the project and collect survey responses:
• Distribution of fliers and a survey link to parents through all Soledad schools.
• Door-to-door distribution of fliers with the survey link to neighbors and businesses along Front Street.
• Mass mailings to 2,200 households in the neighborhoods around the pilot project.
• Social media posts.
• Banners and pre-stamped surveys placed along Front Street. • Presentation to City Council before the pilot was installed.

Survey Results
• Sixteen percent of survey respondents walked or biked on Front Street during the pilot project. Eighty-five percent of respondents drove through the pilot.
• Fifty-eight percent of respondents reported having a positive experience with the high-visibility crosswalks, and 46% had positive experiences with the separated bike lanes.
• Among all respondents, 21% said that they walked or biked more because of the pilot project. Among people who walked and biked through the pilot project, 63% said that they walked or biked more during the pilot. • Among all respondents, 37% indicated that they would like to see the temporary changes made permanent, 22% were undecided, and 40% did not want to see the changes become permanent.
• Among people who walked and biked through the pilot project, 74% wanted to see the temporary changes made permanent, 21% were undecided, and 5% said they did not want to see the changes become permanent.
• Forty-eight percent said that they would either definitely or probably use the new facility if it became permanent.

Next Steps
Feedback on the pilot project varied, with people who walked or biked through it expressing more support than people who drove through it.

Many of the comments expressed a desire for a project that was more aesthetically pleasing.

One option for the City to pursue would be widening the sidewalk to allow pedestrians and cyclists to share space elevated from the motor vehicle lanes. The City will pursue funding for future improvements along Front Street and is currently working on a maintenance project to repave Front Street from Moranda Road to Nestles Road.

Recommendations
The school-level infrastructure recommendations in this chapter are the core of the Safe Routes to Schools Plan. They were designed to address the specific challenges at each school site to increase the safety of families walking and biking and encourage more active transportation trips to school. This chapter contains information on the current conditions at each school, observations from the walking audit, and a list of infrastructure recommendations. Schools are organized alphabetically. School-specific non-infrastructure recommendations are also listed under each school’s profile, and citywide non-infrastructure recommendations are listed at the end.

A guide to the various types of infrastructure treatments mentioned in this chapter starts on page 327.

Safe Routes to Schools Corridors
Safe Routes to Schools corridors are streets that have been identified as key routes to Soledad schools. These streets may be good candidates for corridor-level improvements in the future to slow traffic, improve intersections and crossings, and create a safe and comfortable environment for students to walk and bike to school.

Recommendation Process
The recommendations in this Safe Routes to Schools Plan were developed in response to public input on the barriers to getting to each school site safely. Public comments from parent surveys, parent meetings, and walking audits were reviewed, and where feasible, recommendations were developed to address each issue. This process included the evaluation of existing conditions around each school.

After the draft recommendations were developed, recommendation maps in English and Spanish were shared with each school along with a short survey asking for feedback. Each school was also offered another round of bilingual parent presentations to share the draft recommendations and collect feedback from parents and school staff. The planning team reviewed the feedback on the draft recommendations and adjusted them where feasible.

All recommendations are planning-level and require further analysis before construction. All recommendations for new marked traffic control devices, including crosswalks, must also meet the guidelines of the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices policies to be installed. 73 Soledad : Recommendations 327
Guide to Bicycle & Pedestrian Infrastructure Recommendations Class I shared use paths are paved rights-ofway, completely separated from streets, which support multi-use recreation and transportation
opportunities for walkers, bicyclists, skaters, and
wheelchair users.

Class II bike lanes are on-street bicycle facilities
that use striping and stencils to designate spaces
for bicycle travel.

Class IIB buffered bike lanes include a striped
buffer between the bike lane and the vehicle lane,
which provides greater separation and comfort for
people biking.

Class III bicycle routes are designated for
bicycle travel with signage and shared-use
pavement markings, or “sharrows,” and are
shared with motor vehicles.

Bike lane conflict markings are used to
highlight “conflict zones,” where traffic lanes and
bike lanes cross. This helps drivers know where
to expect people on bikes.

Curb extensions are additions to the sidewalk at
intersections or mid-block crosswalks to shorten
the crossing distance and make pedestrians more
visible to drivers.

Flashing stop signs have flashing lights
embedded on them to increase their visibility.

High-visibility crosswalks are “ladder style”
crosswalks that are more visible to drivers than
crosswalks consisting of two lines.

Neighborhood traffic circles are small
roundabouts installed on neighborhood streets
to slow traffic and create a safer and more
comfortable environment for people walking
and biking.

Class IV separated bikeways or cycle tracks
are separated from the vehicle lane by a physical
barrier, such as parked cars, planters, or plastic
posts, providing greater safety for bicyclists.

Protected intersection treatments keep
bicyclists physically separate from motor
vehicles up to the intersection, which provides
more comfort and safety for people of all ages
and abilities.

Rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs)
are used at uncontrolled intersections or midblock crosswalks to alert drivers to people who are waiting to cross the street.

Traffic calming uses various measures such
as speed humps, traffic circles, and chicanes
to slow vehicle traffic on residential streets and
improve safety and conditions for walkers and
cyclists. These measures must be requested and
supported by neighborhood residents to
be installed.

Shared-lane markings (“sharrows”) are used
on streets where bicycles and motor vehicles
share the same travel lane. Sharrows direct
bicyclists to the safest position in the roadway,
alert drivers that bicyclists may be sharing the
lane, and encourage safe passing of bicyclists
by motorists.

Current Infrastructure Conditions
Motorist Conditions
• Frank Ledesma Elementary has two parking areas and two drop-off loops off Vista de Soledad. Parking spaces in the lot are reserved for staff and visitors.
• At the time of the audit, the drop-off area at the front of the school was closed to parent vehicles in the morning, and the drop-off loop on the north side of campus was open. After school, the front drop-off area was open and the north drop-off loop was reserved for buses.
• Drop-offs take place in the drop-off loops and employee parking lot, and on the street on Vista de Soledad. There is some congestion before and after school, primarily because of slow traffic flow within the loop. • School bus drop-off takes place in the drop-off loop on the north side of campus.
• Gabilan Drive is a primary emergency response route. During the audit, some parents parked on the north side of Gabilan Drive and walked in with their students.
• Many parents dropped off students on both sides of Vista de Soledad near the school.

Current Infrastructure Conditions
Motorist Conditions
• At the time of the audit, Pinnacles High
School did not have a designated dropoff loop or area, and parking spaces in its small lot were reserved for staff. The
parking lot is also used for trash pick-up
and deliveries, which discourages staff
from using the lot to avoid getting boxed in.
• At the time of the audit, drop-off took place
on-street along Main Street and
Gabilan Drive, where there is limited onstreet parking. • School bus drop-off takes place in the
Soledad High parking lot. Pinnacles High
has space at Soledad High as well as at its
primary building on Main Street.
• Gabilan Drive is an arterial street and a
primary emergency response route.
• Pinnacles High starts later than Soledad
High, so students arrive after traffic on
Gabilan Drive has subsided. School staff
are arriving on campus during high school
drop-off traffic.

Pedestrian Conditions
• There are complete sidewalks on both
sides of Main Street and Gabilan Drive.
• The intersection of Main Street and Gabilan
Drive is a three-way stop and has highvisibility crosswalks. The fourth leg of the intersection is the driveway to the high
school parking lot.
• There are no marked crosswalks across
Main Street between Gabilan Drive and
Ticino Street. There are high-visibility
crosswalks at the intersection of
Main Street and Ticino Street.
• At the time of the audit, there were no
crossing guards present. The schools have
had crossing guards at the intersection of
Main Street and Gabilan Drive in the past
but have been unable to keep anyone in
the position due to safety concerns.

Implementation, Reporting, and Maintenance
Implementation and Reporting
The projects in this plan will be implemented over time as funding becomes available. With limited funding, the City of Soledad must decide how to prioritize the recommendations.

Some projects that are low cost and have community support can be incorporated into the City’s maintenance programs and installed using maintenance funds. For larger projects, leveraging local funds with additional grant funding will be critical. There are also projects that require either private property acquisition or coordination with Caltrans. Though these are highcost projects that will take many years to fund, design, and construct, they are included here as part of a long-term vision for the future of transportation in Soledad.

The City of Soledad has the opportunity to make bicycle and pedestrian improvements as part of ongoing road maintenance. The City is required to upgrade curb ramps to Americans with Disabilities Act standards during major road resurfacing projects. Many resurfacing projects also provide a chance to restripe roadways and install improvements such as high-visibility crosswalks, class IIB buffered bike lanes, green bike lane treatments, and class IV separated bikeways for a relatively low additional cost. Traffic signal maintenance and upgrades also provide opportunities to install countdown pedestrian signal heads, leading pedestrian interval signal phasing, and video detection for bicyclists. City staff will review the Safe Routes to Schools Plan project list when planning maintenance projects to look for ways to incorporate bike and pedestrian improvements. This allows for a highly cost-effective strategy for implementing the projects included in this plan. 161
Soledad : Implementation, Reporting, and Maintenance 415 Installing bicycle and pedestrian improvements as part of regularly scheduled maintenance is part of the “quick-build” approach to bicycle and pedestrian facilities, in which local jurisdictions construct facilities faster using lowcost materials. Materials such as paint, planters, and plastic posts are less expensive initially than new pavement or changes to curb alignments, but they have greater ongoing maintenance costs. Quick-build is best suited to temporary trial projects that can be adjusted in response to the success of the design and community feedback. More information on the quick-build approach can be found in the Quick-Build Guide developed by the California Bicycle Coalition and Alta Planning + Design.1
Projects from this plan can also be installed as future development occurs in Soledad. This Safe Routes to Schools Plan provides a list of projects that can be used to mitigate impacts of land-use development by reducing vehicle miles traveled. In 2013, California lawmakers approved Senate Bill 743, which considers vehicle miles traveled as a metric to determine impacts in transportation analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Jurisdictions are no longer required to use traffic congestion or level of service as a metric, though they can still enforce those through consistency with the agency’s General Plan. In addition, the traditional level-of-service metric may still be relevant to CEQA as it relates to impacts on public services, including emergency response and transit. The state released guidelines in 2018 that recommended the use of vehicle miles traveled as the key metric for analyzing transportation impacts. The Safe Routes to Schools Plan is a resource that the city and developers can use for project ideas to improve biking and walking facilities and reduce vehicle miles traveled.

This chapter includes a list of roadways that are high priorities for future improvements on the basis of criteria aligned with the vision and goals of this plan. Individual projects will be prioritized for funding through the Monterey County Regional Transportation Plan and the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Reporting on project funding, design, and construction will be provided through updates to the city council and the public during the annual CIP update process.

For projects within Caltrans rights of way, all improvements must be consistent with Highway Access Management Plans, and Caltrans maintenance agreements are required before new construction.

Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 416
Corridor Prioritization
Key routes to school in Soledad were ranked to help City staff and decisionmakers prioritize projects and identify the most competitive for various grant opportunities.

Grant programs often prioritize larger-scale, corridor-wide improvements, and future grant applications are likely to focus on improvements to one or more streets in Soledad rather than individual projects.

The corridors below were evaluated using four criteria aligned with the vision and goals of this plan and with common grant application criteria. Equity scores are based on two sources: free or reduced price meal data, as an indicator of family income, and the Healthy Places Index map, which shows data on health indicators such as education, job opportunities, and clean air and water. Each corridor was assigned a number from 0 to 100 based on the criteria in Table 10.

Table 10: Criteria for Corridor Prioritization
Criterion Description Max Points
Safety
The following points are awarded for bicycle and pedestrian collisions in the last 10 years within 150 ft of the corridor, for a maximum of 30 points:
• 5 points per fatal or severe-injury collision.
• 1 point per other-visible-injury or complaint-of-pain collision. 30 Access to Key
Destinations
10 points for every school within 500 ft of the corridor and 5 points for every park, library, and recreation center, for a max of 25 points.
25 Equity 20 points if the project is located within an area designated as disadvantaged. 20
CommunityIdentified
Need
15 points if the project or location was identified by 10+ members of the community during project outreach.
10 points if the project or location was identified in one or more community planning documents.

Soledad : Implementation, Reporting, and Maintenance 419 Participatory Budgeting
Funded Projects
The Soledad Steering Committee led a participatory budgeting process in which community members decided democratically how to spend part of the public budget.

TAMC allocated $250,000 per city to implement projects from the Safe Routes to Schools Plan, and Steering Committees developed a process for community members to vote on which projects should be funded.

The Soledad election was held in May 2023. People over the age of 14 who lived or worked in Soledad were eligible to vote, and voting could be done online or at 11 sites throughout the city. In total, 246 ballots were received, which identified four projects as the highest priorities for community members. Steering Committee members presented the results to the Soledad City Council for approval in November 2023 and received approval. Projects funded through participatory budgeting will begin implementation as soon as 2025. The City of Soledad will construct as many recommendations as is feasible with current construction costs.

To address the ongoing shortfall in transportation funding, Monterey County voters approved Measure X in 2016. Measure X establishes a 3/8-percent sales tax that will provide approximately $20 million annually for local transportation projects over the next thirty years. Sixty percent of the funds are distributed by formula to cities and the County of Monterey for road maintenance, repair, and safety projects. This funding, together with funding in the Pedestrian and Bike Safety and Mobility category, can be used for Safe Routes to Schools projects.1 1 Transportation Agency for Monterey County.

Maintenance
The need for maintenance of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities is often reported by
residents walking and bicycling on local
roadways. There are several ways to report
maintenance issues in and around the
City of Soledad:
• Maintenance issues in Soledad
can be reported through the City of
Soledad website:
www.cityofsoledad.com/report-issue.
• TAMC maintains the Bicycle Service
Request program, a webpage where any
issue related to bicycle safety in Monterey
County can be reported:
www.tamcmonterey.org/bike-servicerequest-form. Reports are forwarded to the appropriate jurisdiction for action.
• Maintenance issues on state highways can
be reported to Caltrans: csr.dot.ca.gov.

The City of Soledad is responsible for
maintaining pavement on roads that it has
accepted for maintenance. The City also
maintains signage, signals, striping, guardrails,
and other traffic-safety devices, walls and
other retaining structures, and drainage
facilities serving the roadway.

The City of Soledad currently employs the
following maintenance policies and procedures
to keep bicycle and pedestrian facilities in
good repair:
• Bike lanes that are contiguous with any
City-maintained roadway are maintained
by the City as part of the roadway. The City
strives to sweep bike lanes as part of its
normal street sweeping program.
• According to the California Streets and
Highways Code Section 5610, adjacent
property owners are responsible for the
maintenance of sidewalks along the
frontage of their properties.
• According to the Streets and Highways
Code, a set amount of maintenance
funding is provided by the gas tax, and the
City is charged with maintaining roadways
as well as those funds allow. The City of
Soledad has a Pavement Management
Program (PMP) which has evaluated the
street network and determined a pavement
condition Index for each segment. The
PMP is updated periodically and serves
as the basis for directing the maintenance,
repair, and rehabilitation of street segments
within the City. The City works to maximize
the funding it receives to provide the
greatest benefit to the greatest number of
road users.

Executive Summary 5
Executive Summary
The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan describes communityidentified needs and recommendations for infrastructure projects and programs that support walking, bicycling, and carpooling to 22 schools in Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City. The plan also identifies possible funding sources and implementation priorities. The recommendations in this plan are aimed at supporting healthy communities, improving affordable transportation options for low-income and vulnerable residents, and helping the four cities improve safety and meet statewide goals to address climate change by reducing vehicle miles traveled.

This plan was funded with a Sustainable Communities Transportation Planning Grant from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and local matching funds, and it is aligned with the regional and statewide plans and concepts included in the Caltrans District 5 Active Transportation Plan.

The vision for all students and families following the implementation of the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan is as follows:
• I can walk or bike to school safely.
• My trip to school helps our environment, builds healthy habits, and saves my family money.
• I am more connected to my neighborhood and community through my trip to school.
• I have the skills and confidence I need to travel to school safely without using a car.

Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 10
Goals and Objectives
The cities of Gonzales, Greenfield, King City, and Soledad and partner agencies have set the following goals and objectives for the future of Safe Routes to Schools, to be accomplished through the projects and programs in this plan.

Goal 1. Encouragement: The majority of children will arrive at school by foot, bicycle, scooter, skateboard, bus, or carpool.
• Objective 1.1: Identify and promote a broad spectrum of projects to provide a connected network of active transportation options along Safe Routes to Schools corridors and connections.
• Objective 1.2: Design and construct street improvements that are accessible and comfortable for all ages and abilities. Incorporate tree planting into active transportation projects to provide shade for people who are walking and bicycling.
• Objective 1.3: Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), schools, and the cities will support events that encourage active transportation to school, such as “Walk & Roll to School,” at least twice a year.
• Objective 1.4: Work with schools and Safe Routes to Schools partners to provide walking school buses at all elementary schools. • Objective 1.5: Work with schools and Safe Routes to Schools partners to promote Safe Routes to Schools corridors as the preferred routes to school.

Goal 2. Safety: Zero collisions involving bikes or pedestrians that result in injury or death.
• Objective 2.1: Prioritize Safe Routes to Schools projects that address fatal and severe-injury crashes.
• Objective 2.2: Prioritize projects on school routes that reduce traffic speeds to 25 mph or less and increase the separations between pedestrians and bicyclists and motor vehicle traffic.
• Objective 2.3: Enhance low-stress alternative routes to high-stress corridors.
• Objective 2.4: Prioritize safety over travel speed, convenience, and congestion reduction in project design.
182
Executive Summary 11
• Objective 2.5: Crossing guards will be present at all elementary schools. • Objective 2.6: Provide annual updates on safety projects and traffic collisions to governing bodies.

Goal 3. Education: All children in the Salinas Valley will receive traffic safety education.
• Objective 3.1: Incorporate bicycle and pedestrian safety education into the curriculum in all elementary schools.
• Objective 3.2: By second grade, all children will receive pedestrian safety training in school; by fifth grade, all children will receive bike safety training in school.
• Objective 3.3: By high school, students will know the basics of bike maintenance and have opportunities to practice these skills at school or in the community.

Goal 4. Engagement: Engage the greater community to create safe environments around schools.
• Objective 4.1: Run annual community-wide campaigns that encourage neighbors to keep eyes on the streets and drivers to slow down around schools.
• Objective 4.2: Enforce traffic laws in school zones without overburdening offenders. An example would be a diversion program that requires school-zone traffic offenders to assist with crossing guard duties (Austin, TX program model).
• Objective 4.3: Recruit volunteers from the community to assist with Safe Routes to Schools programs such as walking school buses and crossing guards.

Goal 5. Equity: Ensure that all community members have equitable access to schools and Safe Routes to Schools programming.
• Objective 5.1: Prioritize infrastructure projects that serve transportationdisadvantaged and special-needs populations. • Objective 5.2: Provide opportunities for a diverse group of community members to take leadership roles in the development and implementation of Safe Routes to Schools projects and programs. An example would be positions on a Safe Routes to Schools steering committee. • Objective 5.3: Provide access to active transportation and safety equipment such as bicycles, scooters, helmets, and lights. 183
Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 12
Outreach Summary
Public input was the foundation of the Safe Routes to Schools Plan.

The planning team developed an outreach plan and sought input from community members to understand school transportation needs and barriers and to refine their draft recommendations. Parent and student surveys, presentations at parent meetings, and walking audits with school staff all contributed to the team’s understanding of barriers to walking and biking to school in Salinas Valley cities and the types of improvements community members would like to see.

In addition, Steering Committees were formed in each of the four cities to lead a participatory budgeting process. This is a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend part of a public budget. The Steering Committees were made up of representatives from each city, including students, parents, school staff, advocates, and residents. Each Steering Committee met monthly for nine months to review project recommendations and design an election process for learning from the community about the highest priority projects in the Safe Routes to Schools Plan. TAMC allocated $250,000 per city to construct the highest-priority projects.

Project Prioritization
Key routes to school in each of the four cities were ranked to help decision makers and City staff prioritize projects and identify the most competitive projects for various grant funding opportunities.

Grant programs often prioritize larger-scale, corridor-wide improvements, and future grant applications will likely focus on improvements to one or more streets in each city.

The corridors below were evaluated on four criteria aligned with the vision and goals of this plan and with common grant criteria. Equity scores are based on two sources: free or reduced-price meal data, which is an indicator of family income, and the Healthy Places Index map, which shows data on health indicators such as education, job opportunities, and clean air and water. Each corridor was assigned a number from 0 to 100 based on the criteria in Table 1.

Table 1: Criteria for Project Prioritization
Criterion Description Max Points
Safety
The following points are awarded for bicycle and pedestrian collisions in the last 10 years within 150 ft of the corridor, for a maximum of 30 points:
• 5 points per fatal or severe-injury collision.
• 1 point per other-visible-injury or complaint-of-pain collision. 30 Access to Key
Destinations
10 points for every school within 500 ft of the corridor and 5 points for every park, library, and recreation center, for a max of 25 points.
25 Equity 20 points if the project is located within an area designated as disadvantaged. 20
CommunityIdentified
Need
15 points if the project or location was identified by 10+ members of the community during project outreach.

SUBJECT: Soledad-Mission Recreation District Appointment to Fill Vacancy TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Megan Hunter, City Manager
MEETING DATE: February 19, 2025

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH:

AGENDA ITEM NO. 1.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor consider appointing both candidates to the two openings on SoledadMission Recreation District Board of Directors and the City Council consider approving said appointments.

Executive Summary
In December 2025, the City of Soledad was notified of two upcoming vacancies on the SoledadMission Recreation District Board of Directors, effective January 30, 2025. These vacancies will need to be filled by appointments from the City of Soledad. Following an extensive recruitment process, staff received two applications for the positions, which were forwarded to Mayor Velazquez. It is recommended that the Mayor and the City Council review each candidate's qualifications and, if desired, ask questions to assess their ability to represent the City on the Soledad-Mission Recreation Board. Both candidates, Kenneth (Ken) Klemme and Desiree Barba, are residents of Soledad and have extensive experience serving on various boards, non-profit organizations, and public agencies. They are eager to contribute positively to the Community of Soledad by serving on the Soledad-Mission Recreation Board. If the appointments are approved, the new terms will end on January 31, 2027.

Background
The City of Soledad received a notice from the Soledad-Mission Recreation District Executive Director, Frances Bengtson, of the two city-appointed vacancies on the Soledad-Mission Recreation District Board. The Soledad-Mission Recreation District Board is an independent special district of Monterey County. The board is made up of five members, with each member having a four-year term.

The County Board of Supervisors appoints two members, and three members are appointed by the Mayor of Soledad and the City Council. The current vacancies would need to be filled by the City of Soledad.

Review & Analysis
Staff placed advertisements for the Soledad-Mission Recreation District Board of Directors vacancies 192
Application - Ken Klemme
Application - Desiree Barba
on the City’s social media pages, the City website, and in the Salinas Valley Tribune. Two applications for the vacant positions were received and forwarded to the Mayor for consideration. Both candidates are residents of Soledad and have expressed a sincere desire to assist the Soledad-Mission Recreation District Board. The two applications are attached to this report.

Given that there are only two openings and two applications, staff recommends that the Mayor appoint both candidates and that the Council approve their appointments to the Soledad-Mission Recreation Board. The board has struggled to achieve a quorum due to these vacancies, which has hindered its ability to conduct business effectively. Mr. Kenneth (Ken) Klemme serves on the Board of the Mosquito Abatement District, and Ms. Desiree Barba serves on the Board of the Soledad Cemetery District, providing both with significant knowledge of the requirements for special districts. The Soledad-Mission Recreation District Board is classified as a special district, and both candidates bring extensive experience in public service.

As part of this process, the Mayor and Council may choose to interview the candidates for the SoledadMission Recreation Board to ensure alignment with the Council's vision for recreation services in the community. Emphasis will also be placed on the importance of communication between the cityappointed members, city staff, and Council members.

If the Council approves the Mayor’s appointments, both Mr. Klemme and Ms. Barba will serve fouryear terms, which will expire on January 31, 2029. Both applicants will be able to attend the next scheduled Soledad-Mission Recreation District Board of Directors meeting.

Financial Considerations
None.

Alternatives
Appoint both candidates to serve on the Soledad-Mission Recreation District Board.

Appoint one or neither candidate to the Soledad-Mission Recreation District Board. This is not recommended as the Board is having trouble achieving quorum and conducting important board business.

Planning/CEQA
Appointments of Soledad-Mission Recreation District Board Members is not an action under CEQA Public Notice Requirements

As part of the ongoing Front Street Maintenance Project, the scope also included incorporating enhancements to the downtown corridor. Proposed enhancements included decorative crosswalks, public art, landscape lighting, and an overall landscape refresh. Currently, the contractor has completed installing lighting conduit for the landscape lighting, and the decorative crosswalks are scheduled to be completed at the same time as the paving. Staff, has since then been working with the Wallace Group's Landscape Architects to take a further look at proposed improvements for the corridor to create a more vibrant and beautified look to the Front Street corridor. This presentation brought before the City Council is to showcase the Front Street Landscape Concept Vignette and provide direction to Staff on how to proceed including a discussion of using up to $300,000 in street funding to invest in the landscape improvements.

Background
On May 15, 2024, City Council approved a contract for Construction Services with Monterey Peninsula Engineering (MPE) in the total not-to-exceed amount of $3,916,245 for the Front Street Maintenance Project.

As described during the award of the contract for construction services with MPE for the Front Street Maintenance Project, the project scope also included incorporating enhancements to the project such as: decorative crosswalks, art, landscape lighting, and an overall landscape refresh. Since then, the Contractor has successfully completed the landscape lighting work as described under Change Order 203
No. 3 and the decorative crosswalks are currently under contract in Change Order No. 4 and scheduled to be completed at the same time as the paving. Staff is now working with Wallace Group to develop and refine ideas for the landscaping refresh.

Review & Analysis
In an effort to further enhance Front Street and create a vibrant and beautified downtown corridor, Staff requested a landscape refresh concept from Wallace Group that proposed a new planting plan based on the existing conditions, locations, climate, and wind. Additionally, the Wallace Group was tasked with ensuring traffic safety in areas of interest by ensuring the recommendations provided adequate visibility to maintain sight distance. Areas of focus were the medians between San Vicente & West Street and Main Street & Soledad Street. Bulb-outs and existing landscaping strips adjacent to sidewalks were also looked at as part of this concept.

Given the ongoing efforts and resources already allocated as part of this project and the enhancements, the City Council is encouraged to evaluate the landscaping concept and high-level cost estimate provided by the Wallace Group team and provide direction to Staff has to how to proceed.

The staff is proposing to allocate up to $300,000 of Measure X funds for landscape improvements.

However, using these funds will restrict our ability to carry out future road maintenance projects within this fiscal year. Considering the investment made thus far along Front Street, refreshing the landscaping would significantly enhance its visual appeal and it may be worth the delay on roadway maintenance.

Financial Considerations
The proposed improvements detailed in the Front Street Landscape Concept Vignette are estimated to cost $300,000. If the Council decides to proceed with this concept, staff recommends funding the following items using Measure X funds. It is important to note that the estimated costs may decrease once the project is formally bid. The City has two local agencies that have previously assisted with landscaping and may be interested in bidding on this project.

Alternatives
Receive the presentation and provide further staff direction.

Planning/CEQA
This project is categorically exempt under Class 1 Existing Facilities, having met the qualifying criteria provided under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301. Class 1 consists of 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 existing or former use. Section 15301 provides some, but does not limit the project scope to, examples of such projects, existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety and other alterations such as the addition of bicycle facilities, including but not limited to bicycle parking, bicycle-share facilities and bicycle lanes, transit improvements such as bus lanes, pedestrian crossings, street trees, and other similar alterations that do not create additional automobile lanes). As detailed above, the Front Street Maintenance Project would be categorized under this description.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6197, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Approving, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Purchase and Sales Agreement Between the City of Soledad and Soledad 92, Limited Partnership to Purchase 860 Mora Circle for $339,990 Plus Closing Costs to Provide Workforce Housing
TO: Honorable Mayor Anna Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Megan Hunter, City Manager
MEETING DATE: February 19, 2025

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.

Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council consider and adopt Resolution No. 6197, “Approving, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Purchase and Sales Agreement Between the City of Soledad and Soledad 92, Limited Partnership (LP) to Purchase 860 Mora Circle for $339,990 Plus Closing Costs to Provide Workforce Housing”.

Executive Summary
For many years, the City Council has explored options for providing housing for the workforce, particularly for positions that are difficult to fill, such as police officers. The City had hoped to reach an agreement with the Soledad Unified School District (SUSD) to include units in their development for city employees in exchange for city-owned property. Unfortunately, that deal did not materialize.

Currently, the City has the opportunity to purchase the last remaining one-bedroom townhouse at Las Viviendas using the proceeds from the recent sale of city property to SUSD. The plan is to rent the unit to a City employee whose income falls between 80% and 160% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or, if no employee is interested, to a qualifying moderate-income Soledad resident. Staff will present a proposed rental policy for consideration at a future Council meeting. However, to ensure the City secures the last one-bedroom unit before it is sold, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) at this meeting.

Background
The housing market in South County is extremely tight, with very few units available and high rental prices. In Soledad, rents for a one-bedroom unit start at nearly $2,000 per month. The limited housing options and elevated costs have made it increasingly difficult to recruit key positions within the City, particularly police officers. Currently, the Soledad Police Department has six vacancies, and housing 211
issues are cited as the primary barrier to recruitment. In fact, the City lost a highly qualified officer due to difficulties with housing.

In the past, the City-owned housing units were designated for employee use. Unfortunately, these units were sold during a period of financial challenges. Recently, the City has begun exploring options to secure housing for its employees. The City Council even discussed a proposal with the School District to provide housing units for City workers in exchange for land at the corner of Soledad and Monterey.

However, the Soledad Unified School District (SUSD) and the City were unable to reach an agreement, and ultimately, the City sold the property to SUSD.

Review & Analysis
With the sale of properties to SUSD for the School Workforce Housing Project, the City now has approximately $144,000 in proceeds that could be utilized for our own workforce needs. Like SUSD, the lack of housing options and high prices have hindered recruitment, particularly for critical positions such as police officers and water and wastewater operators. Acquiring a housing unit can help bolster our recruitment efforts for these key roles.

City staff have been in discussions with Legacy Homes (Soledad 92, LP) regarding the potential acquisition of one or more units for some time. The available units have been selling quickly, and Legacy now has only two model duplex units left: one three-bedroom unit and one one-bedroom unit.

Considering the available funding, it is proposed that the City purchase the one-bedroom unit, which has a purchase price of $339,990.

The subject property is situated within a townhome complex that includes a Homeowner’s Association (HOA). The HOA will be responsible for maintaining the exterior of the buildings, which will significantly reduce the City’s property maintenance obligations.

Depending on the income of the employee, the City could charge a monthly rent ranging from $2,000 to $2,700. The City will need to cover the HOA fees and should also allocate some funds for future repairs, improvements, and taxes. Based on the anticipated rental income and associated costs, the City could conservatively expect to net approximately $16,000 annually, with a payoff period of about 21 years.

Typically, staff would present both the Purchase and Sales Agreement (PSA) and the Rental Policy to the Council simultaneously. However, the units at Las Viviendas are selling very quickly, and it is likely that all units will be sold before the next meeting in March unless the City approves the PSA. Therefore, staff is requesting the Council's approval of the PSA now, with the understanding that the Rental Policy will be presented for consideration at a later date. The attached resolution specifies that the property purchase is intended for employees earning between 80% and 160% of the Area Median Income (AMI). This approach will help ensure that these units are reserved for the workforce rather than for senior managers, directors, or the city manager. If no employee wants to rent the unit, the City would rent to a qualifying moderate-income resident.

Financial Considerations
The City is set to receive approximately $144,000 from selling its properties to the School District. It is proposed that these funds be used to purchase 860 Mora Circle. Additionally, the remaining balance of around $200,000 is recommended to come from the interest earned on the General Fund Reserve.

Ultimately, the City will generate rental income, which can either be used to replenish the reserve or returned to the General Fund. It is estimated that the City will recover enough revenue within 21 to 23 years to cover its original investment.
212
Resolution No. 6197
Exhibit A
Alternatives
Adopt the proposed Resolution and authorize the City Manager to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement; or
Disapprove or take no action on a Purchase and Sale Agreement, which is not recommended as the City would lose the opportunity to secure a unit for workforce housing.

Planning/CEQA
The proposed acquisition of 860 Mora Circle is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061. This exemption applies because it can be determined with certainty that the proposed activity will not have a significant impact on the environment. 860 Mora Circle is an existing condominium unit, and the City plans to use it for its intended purpose without any modifications to the structure.

WHEREAS, the property will be purchased with a combination of proceeds from the recent sale of properties to the Soledad Unified School District of approximately $144,000 and $200,000 in interest from the General Fund Reserve; and WHEREAS, the proposed acquisition of 860 Mora Circle is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061. This exemption applies because it can be determined with certainty that the proposed activity will not have a significant impact on the environment. 860 Mora Circle is an existing condominium unit, and the City plans to use it for its intended purpose without any modifications to the structure. 214
2 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Soledad that the Council finds that the use of the $144,000 in sale proceeds and $200,000 in interest earnings from the General Fund Reserve for the purchase of 860 Mora Circle is an appropriate use of such funding and is in keeping with the City’s desire to provide workforce housing for its employees in the City of Soledad. As such, the Council authorizes the expenditure of $339,990 as the City’s contribution to the purchase of 860 Mora Circle.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Soledad that the Council hereby approves, in substantial form and content, and authorizes the City Manager and City Attorney to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA), a copy of which is attached hereto as “Exhibit A” and by this reference incorporated herein, between the City of Soledad and Soledad 92, Limited Partnership for 860 Mora Circle in the amount of $339,990, upon a determination by the City Manager and City Attorney that the Agreement is in final form. The City Manager is further directed to commence efforts to market said property for employee workforce housing or if no employee is interested, for moderate housing for a qualifying Soledad resident upon the close of escrow.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, Seller is a California limited partnership and the owner of that certain real property located at 860 Mora Circle, Soledad, CA 93960 and currently identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 022-533-014-000, which is more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto (“Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Property has been appraised to have a fair market value of $339,990; and
WHEREAS, the Buyer will deposit $5,000 to Escrow in the amount of $5,000.00 (FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS) as an earnest money deposit (“Earnest Money Deposit”) to be applied toward the Purchase Price (as defined below) for the Property.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale
Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, all of the Seller’s rights, title, and interest in the Property and all related improvements and common spaces, appurtenances, and fixtures, including but not limited to existing window screens, shades and/or blinds, shutters, curtain rods, appliances, heating sources/systems, and electrical fixtures for the Purchase Price (as defined below).

As used herein, the “Purchase Price” shall mean THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINE THOUSAND AND NINE HUNDRED AND NINTY DOLLARS ($339,990).

2. Conveyance of Property by Seller

Exhibit A
216
2 3. Title to Be Conveyed
Seller agrees that fee simple title to the Property shall be conveyed by the Grant Deed, from Seller to Buyer. Seller agrees that such title shall be free and clear of any and all conditions, restrictions, reservations, liens, encumbrances, assessments, easements (recorded and unrecorded), deeds of trust, mortgages, and any clouds or defects in title, except as expressly permitted herein.

4. Agreement as to Escrow Instructions

4.1. The Parties agree to provide escrow instructions to the Title Company consistent with this Section.

No later than five (5) business days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Buyer will open an escrow account with the Title Company, deliver a fully executed copy of this Agreement to the Title Company, and cause the Earnest Money Deposit to be placed into the escrow account.

The Earnest Money Deposit shall be fully refundable to Buyer except in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Seller following a default by Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement.

Such agreement to extend this Agreement and escrow shall be in writing. If there are any conditions that have not been satisfied or waived, and there is no mutual agreement of the Seller and Buyer to extend escrow, then the Agreement shall terminate; provided, however that such termination shall not affect any claims that either Party may have against the other for any breach of this Agreement.

4.3. Any delinquent taxes on the Property shall be paid in full by Seller on or before the close of escrow.

TO: Honorable Mayor Anna Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Michael Rodriquez, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: February 19, 2025

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council consider and adopt Resolution No. 6198, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Restating and Extending a Declaration of a Shelter Crisis Pursuant to SB 850 (Chapter 48, Statutes of 2018 and Government Code Section 8698.2)".

Executive Summary
The City of Soledad and other cities and entities throughout Monterey County and the State continue to experience significant problems associated with sheltering the unhoused population. In 2019, to be eligible to receive funding and services to address homelessness, cities throughout the County, including Soledad, adopted resolutions “Declaring a Shelter Crisis.” After the passage of Soledad’s Shelter Crisis Declaration, problems with the lack of adequate shelter for the unhoused in the City and County have only grown. Staff is recommending that the Council consider restating and reaffirming the Council’s original determination that a shelter crisis exists in the City and County and provide the City with the opportunity to take actions that will facilitate the development of temporary housing opportunities for the unhoused. Such action will be particularly helpful as the City embarks on the development of its Soledad Interim Housing and Navigation Project as part of the Encampment Resolution Funding Program.

Background
In 2018, former California Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. and the members of the California Legislature recognized the urgent and immediate need for funding at the local level to combat homelessness and thereafter provided funding to local governments under the Homeless Emergency Aid Program as part of SB 850 and the 2018-19 Budget Act (Chapter 48, Statutes of 2018). In order to be eligible for such funding, cities and other public entities were required to adopt resolutions declaring a “shelter crisis” pursuant to Government Code Section 8698.2. Such resolutions serve to acknowledge 233
the existence of a situation in which a significant number of people are without the ability to obtain shelter, resulting in a threat to their health and safety.

On February 6, 2019, the Soledad City Council, citing to the existence of the unhoused population in the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Monterey County, adopted Resolution No. 5474 “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad, State of California, Declaring a Shelter Crisis Pursuant to SB 850 (Chapter 48, Statutes of 2018 and Government Code Section 8698.2).” Since that time, the City has continued to work with Monterey County to address the homelessness problem from both a county-wide and local perspective.

Review & Analysis
The challenges and problems surrounding the provision of shelter for the unhoused in Monterey County have intensified since the City adopted Resolution No. 5474. According to the most recent Point-in-Time homeless count conducted in 2024, the number of unhoused individuals in the City rose from 12 to 45. Furthermore, the total number of unhoused individuals in Monterey County and the City significantly exceeds the available shelter beds, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing units.

The number of established homeless encampments has continued to increase throughout Monterey County, parts of the City, and adjacent unincorporated property, including along riverbeds. Many encampments display an extensive, disorderly collection of debris, vehicle parts, and a wide variety of items discarded by homeowners and businesses. Unhoused persons living in such encampments are exposed to crime, fire, risk of death and injury, exposure to weather and conditions of both extreme cold and heat, lack of adequate sanitation and trash services, and other conditions that are detrimental to their health and safety. Encampments located in or in proximity to riverbeds in the City and surrounding areas face a special vulnerability to flood hazards, which can develop and occur with little if any advance notice. These riverbed encampments also pose potential environmental threats to adjacent prime farmland.

The City is dedicated to helping those experiencing homelessness. Research has shown that providing safe, stable housing along with essential support services are the two key elements for successfully transitioning from homelessness to a safer and healthier lifestyle. To achieve this, the City has launched a program funded by a $1,701,964 grant from the County. This initiative aims to create a pathway to permanent housing for up to 40 individuals, starting with interim shelter options. These options include emergency motel beds and an interim housing facility on Los Coches Road, which consists of prefabricated modular units that can accommodate up to 16 individuals. The interim housing will act as a bridge while permanent housing solutions are being pursued.

While the City’s original Shelter Crisis Declaration was adopted primarily for the stated purpose of qualifying the City for participation in State homeless programs, the adoption of such declarations can also provide a city with the authority to take action meant to expedite efforts to provide shelter for the unhoused. For example, the adoption of a shelter crisis declaration enables a city to suspend the application of provisions of state and/or local regulatory statutes and regulations as applied to public facilities to the extent such statutes and regulations prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of the shelter crisis. A city may also adopt reasonable local standards for the design, site development, and operation of emergency bridge housing communities, structures, and facilities in lieu of compliance with state and local building, housing, health, habitability, or safety standards and laws.

None of these efforts are meant to circumvent existing regulations to allow the development of substandard housing, but rather, are meant to facilitate expeditious efforts to develop additional shelter 234
Resolution No. 6198
Attachment A
solutions that are safe and meet basic habitability standards.

Given the rather narrow scope of the declaration set forth in Resolution No. 5474, Staff is recommending that the Council take action to restate and extend its 2019 Declaration of a Shelter Crisis. The new declaration will reaffirm the City’s commitment to combatting homelessness and creating or augmenting shelter and service options for those living without shelter in our communities.

It will also direct staff to engage in a number of tasks that will facilitate the development of shelter solutions. Such action will be particularly beneficial to the development of the City’s Interim Housing Facility on Los Coches Road.

Financial Considerations
The adoption of the Resolution Restating and Extending the Declaration of a Shelter Crisis should not have any financial impact on the City. However, by streamlining the actions taken to address this emergency, it may help reduce costs and open up more grant opportunities to tackle homelessness.

Alternatives
Adopt the proposed Resolution and direct staff to take appropriate action thereafter.

Disapprove or take no action on the proposed Resolution, which is not recommended since the Resolution serves the City’s commitment to addressing the current shelter crisis in the City and County of Monterey.

Planning/CEQA
The proposed adoption of the Resolution Restating and Extending a Declaration of a Shelter Crisis is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061. This exemption applies because it can be seen with certainty that the proposed activity, the adoption of a Declaration of a Shelter Crisis, will not have a significant impact on the environment.

Public Notice Requirements
Not applicable.

RESOLUTION NO. 6198

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOLEDAD RESTATING

AND EXTENDING A DECLARATION OF A SHELTER CRISIS PURSUANT TO SB 850 (CHAPTER 48, STATUTES OF 2018 AND GOVERNMENT CODE § 8698.2).

WHEREAS, in or about 2018, former California Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. and the members of the California Legislature recognized the urgent and immediate need for funding at the local level to combat homelessness and thereafter provided funding to local governments under the Homeless Emergency Aid Program as part of SB 850 and the 2018-19 Budget Act (Chapter 48, Statutes of 2018); and
WHEREAS, jurisdictions seeking an allocation through the Homeless Emergency Aid Program were required to declare a Shelter Crisis pursuant to Government Code § 8698.2; and WHEREAS, on February 6, 2019, the Soledad City Council, in recognition of the significant number of unhoused persons in the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Monterey County, including Soledad, adopted Resolution No. 5474 “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad, State of California, Declaring a Shelter Crisis Pursuant to SB 850 (Chapter 48, Statutes of 2018 and Government Code Section 8698.2”; and WHEREAS, the City has continued to work with Monterey County to address the homelessness problem from both a county-wide and local perspective; and WHEREAS, according to the last Monterey County Point-in-Time homeless count in, 2024, Soledad’s unhoused population increased from 12 to 45 individuals; and WHEREAS, the current number of unhoused individuals in Monterey County and the City far outpaces the number of existing shelter beds, transitional housing or permanent supportive housing units available; and
WHEREAS, Seventy-seven (77%) percent of individuals experiencing homelessness are unsheltered, and the closest available shelter is located in Salinas, which is nearly 30 miles away and consistently at capacity; and
WHEREAS, homeless encampments have continued to increase throughout South Monterey County and in parts of the City of Soledad and adjacent unincorporated property, including along numerous riverbeds, exposing unhoused individuals to flooding conditions, crime, fire, risk of death and injury, exposure to weather and conditions of both extreme cold and heat, lack of adequate sanitation and debris services, and other conditions that are detrimental to their health and safety; and
WHEREAS, riverbed encampments could also create environmental impacts on adjacent prime farmland and the City has the responsibility to mitigate environmental impacts to ensure 236
compliance with regulatory requirements, including avoiding potential fines from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife; and
WHEREAS, analysis and evidence have demonstrated that providing decent, safe and stable housing combined with crucial support services are two primary components of successful transition from homelessness to a safer and healthier way of living; and WHEREAS, the shelter crisis is not unique to Soledad, and is evident throughout Monterey County, California, and the United States, causing many municipalities to take action to address these conditions; and
WHEREAS, given the extent of the shelter crisis, the City Council finds that continued and expeditious efforts are necessary to develop additional shelter solutions that are safe and meet basic habitability standards essential to increase shelter capacity; and WHEREAS, the City has partnered with the County through the Encampment Resolution Funding Program to create a pathway to permanent housing for approximately 40 unhoused individuals living in the riverbed through a combination of emergency motel accommodations and the development of an interim shelter facility comprised of prefabricated modular units to serve up to 16 individuals; and
WHEREAS, the program’s goal is to support participants’ transition to permanent housing by June 2027; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 8696 ert seq. allows the governing body of a city to declare a shelter crisis when a significant number of persons are without the ability to obtain shelter, resulting in a threat to their health and safety; and WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 896.1 provides that upon a declaration of a shelter crisis, the City may take action to suspend the application of provisions of state and/or local regulatory statutes and regulations as applied to public facilities to the extent such statutes and regulations prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of the shelter crisis; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 8698.4 provides that a city may adopt reasonable local standards for the design, site development, and operation of emergency bridge housing communities, structures, and facilities, in lieu of compliance with state and local building, housing, health, habitability or safety standards and laws; and WHEREAS, adopting a declaration of shelter crisis also enables a city to be exempt from the requirements of a number of laws and regulations with respect to the construction and use of shelters, including but not limited to the California Environmental Quality Act; and WHEREAS, the City of Soledad now wishes to restate and extend its 2019 declaration of a shelter crisis and reaffirm the City’s commitment to combatting homelessness and creating 237
or augmenting a continuum of shelter and service options for those living without shelter in our communities.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of the City of Soledad, that the Council finds, authorizes and directs as follows:

1. The Council finds and determines that all of the recitals set forth above are true and correct to the best of its knowledge and by this reference are incorporated herein.

2. This Resolution and Declaration shall remain in place and effect until February 19, 2030

3. Determines that a significant number of persons in Soledad and throughout Monterey County are without the ability to obtain shelter, and that this situation has resulted in a threat to the health and safety of said persons, for the reasons set forth above. The Council therefore hereby declares a shelter crisis in the City of Soledad under the authority set forth in Government Code Section 8696, et seq.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6199, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No.1 to the County of Monterey Agreement for Professional Services for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program- Round 3 (ERF-3) to Increase Funding by $200,000 for a Total not to Exceed Amount of $2.155 Million and Amend the Budget Accordingly
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Beatriz Trujillo, Acting Community and Economic Development Director and Kimberly Herrera, Homeless Services Coordinator MEETING DATE: February 19, 2025

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No.6199, "Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the County of Monterey Agreement for Professional Services for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program- Round 3 (ERF-3) to Increase Funding by $200,000 for a Total not to Exceed Amount of $2.155 Million and Amend the Budget Accordingly".

Executive Summary
The Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Program was established to assist local jurisdictions in addressing homelessness and facilitating the transition of individuals into stable housing. In early 2024, the City of Soledad collaborated with Monterey County to secure $4.7 million in ERF-3 funding, with $2.49 million allocated to the City for an interim shelter project. Unfortunately, delays at the state level in disbursing these funds have resulted in a postponement of construction, placing residents of the Salinas riverbed encampment at significant health and safety risk due to adverse weather conditions and the potential for flooding. In response to this pressing situation, the City and County propose the establishment of a provisional fenced encampment at 990 Los Coches, which has been designated as the future site of the interim shelter. The County identified an additional $193,331.60 to support this temporary initiative, which will fund resident relocation, site preparation, and security services.

Moreover, this plan seeks to mitigate environmental impacts on adjacent prime farmland and ensure compliance with relevant regulatory requirements, thereby avoiding potential fines from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. This amendment aims to provide immediate relief to encampment occupants while continuing to advance the development of the modular interim housing facility. 242
Background
In 2022, under the authority of Chapter 7 of Part 1 of Division 31 of the California Health and Safety Code (sections 50250 et seq.), the Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Program was established to increase collaboration between the CAL-ICH, local jurisdictions, and continuums of care (CoC’s) to accomplish the following:

Assist Local Jurisdictions in ensuring the safety and wellness of people experiencing homelessness in encampments.

Provide grants to Local Jurisdictions and CoCs to resolve critical encampment concerns and transition individuals into safe and stable housing.

Encourage a data-informed, coordinated approach to address encampment concerns.

In March 2023, Encampment Resolution Funding Round 3 (ERF-3) was authorized through Senate Bill (SB) 197 (Chapter 70, Statutes of 2022), and enacted under Chapter 7 of Part 1 of Division 31 of the California Health and Safety Code (HSC) (sections 50250 et seq.). The $400 million for this third round of funding was appropriated by SB 101 (Chapter 12, Statute of 2023) to fund ERF-3.

On January 17, 2024, the City Council authorized City staff to collaborate with the County in developing and submitting an ERF-3 application for the Salinas River/Soledad Encampment. The County submitted the grant application on January 31, 2024, and on April 18, 2024, received a notification from Cal ICH indicating the intent to award $4,726,964 for the project plan related to the Salinas River/Soledad Encampment. As part of this collaboration, the County sub-granted a total of $2,497,756 to the City, which includes a Standard Agreement for $542,756 and an Agreement for Professional Services for $1,955,000.

Review & Analysis
The City and County initially planned to establish a new interim shelter facility using funding from the Encampment Resolution Fund – Round 3 (ERF-3), which is part of a $1,955,000 Agreement for Professional Services executed with the County on January 7, 2024. However, due to delays at the State level, the County did not receive the ERF-3 funds until fall 2024. As a result, the construction of the planned interim shelter facility has not yet begun.

Given the current weather conditions and the vulnerable location of the encampment, the occupants face immediate health and safety risks. Additionally, the presence of the riverbed encampment raises public health concerns and could lead to enforcement actions from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which may result in fines. The City has a responsibility to protect the health and safety of the encampment occupants while also mitigating environmental impacts on adjacent prime farmland and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

To address these urgent concerns, the County and the City propose establishing a provisional gated encampment at 990 Los Coches—the same parcel designated for the interim shelter facility. This site is large enough to accommodate both the provisional encampment and the ongoing construction of the interim shelter without project interference. However, the provisional encampment will be removed once the interim shelter facility is constructed. The City requested additional funding from the County to implement this provisional solution. Since a provisional fenced encampment is considered a form of interim shelter, the County has agreed to amend the Agreement for Professional Services, increasing the funding by $193,331.60. Amendment No. 1 will expand the scope of Encampment Resolution Fund – Round 3, incorporating the following key tasks:

Relocation of Encampment Residents & On Site Security
Facilitate the relocation of residents from the Salinas River/Soledad riverbed to the 243
provisional encampment at 990 Los Coches while awaiting the completion of the interim housing facility.

Hire professional on-site security services to effectively monitor the encampment.

Provision and Setup of the Provisional Encampment
Establish and equip the provisional encampment, including the purchase of tents for all residents.

Conduct necessary site preparation, including trash cleanup, land leveling, fencing installation, and storage space for residents’ belongings.

Development of Interim Housing
Fund additional site development work required for interim housing and site furnishings.

This amendment ensures that the City can provide immediate relief to encampment residents while maintaining progress on the interim shelter facility.

Financial Considerations
The proposed amendment will not affect the City's General Fund. The County has identified additional funds as part of their Soledad ERF-3 Interim Shelter project contingency. The Community and Economic Department is administering the ERF-3 grant and will continue to coordinate with the City’s Finance and Legal Departments to ensure full regulatory compliance and the efficient, full disbursement of funds. The City Council will also need to amend the budget to allow for the acceptance and expenditure of these funds in this fiscal year.

Alternatives

1. Accept Amendment No. 1 to the to the County of Monterey Agreement for Professional Services for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program- Round 3 (ERF-3).

2. Do not accept the proposed Amendment No.1 and provide further direction on funding for the Salinas River/Soledad Encampment project plan.

Planning/CEQA
Not a Project - The City of Soledad has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

In 2024, SB 1395 was passed, redefining the development of Low Barrier Navigation Centers as a ministerial action. This legislation states that CEQA does not apply to an action taken by a public agency to lease, convey, or encumber land owned by a public entity or to facilitate the lease, conveyance, or encumbrance of land owned by a public agency, or to provide financial assistance to, or otherwise approve, a Low Barrier Navigation Center constructed or allowed by existing law. Existing law defines the term Low Barrier Navigation Center for these purposes to mean a Housing First, lowbarrier, service-enriched shelter focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing. The Soledad Interim Housing Project qualifies for this designation and is therefore exempt from CEQA.
