22 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 6.d
Meeting Date: June 10, 2024
SUBJECT: For Second Reading and Adoption by Title Only Ordinance No. 24-0375 of the City Council of the City of Solvang, California Amending Chapter 2 (Sewer Code) and Chapter 3 (Water Code) of Title 9 (Water and Sewer) of the Solvang Municipal Code to Require Utility Accounts to be in the Property Owner’s Name, Incorporate State Requirements for Disconnection of Delinquent Residential Accounts, Provide Additional Enforcement Options and Make other Conforming Edits; Making a Determination of Exemption Under the California Environmental Quality Act PREPARED BY: Chelsea O’Sullivan, City Attorney
DISCUSSION:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 24-0375. If adopted, Ordinance 24-0375 would amend the City’s sewer and water code to:
• require all accounts for water service to be in the property owner’s name beginning after the effective date of the ordinance;
• allow an owner to designate another person or entity to receive the utility bill while still remaining the account holder and fully responsible and liable for payment of the bill; • clarify that the procedure for disconnection of water service for residential customers is consistent with state law and pursuant to the City’s residential water disconnection policy; • clarify that the City can send delinquent amounts to collection agencies, among other remedies;
• consolidate the remedies for delinquent water bills in Section 9-3C-6.D; • make other conforming edits for clarity to address inconsistencies across various sections.

At its May 28, 2024 meeting, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 24-0375 for a first reading.

The attached Draft Ordinance is returning to Council for second reading and adoption.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Council could decline to adopt the Ordinance and give staff alternative direction.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the ordinance may result in minor costs of recodification and implementation of ordinance changes but such costs are expected to be within existing budgetary limits.

23 ORDINANCE NO. 24-0375

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOLVANG, CALIFORNIA AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 2 (SEWER CODE) AND CHAPTER 3 (WATER CODE) OF TITLE 9 (WATER AND SEWER) OF THE SOLVANG MUNICIPAL CODE TO REQUIRE UTILITY ACCOUNTS TO BE IN THE PROPERTY OWNER’S NAME, INCORPORATE STATE

REQUIREMENTS FOR DISCONNECTION OF DELINQUENT RESIDENTIAL ACCOUNTS, PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT OPTIONS AND MAKE OTHER CONFORMING EDITS; AND

MAKING A DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL

QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City provides water and sewer service to its residents and businesses; and WHEREAS, there are a handful of water and sewer accounts at any given time that are delinquent on their utility bills in amounts in the hundreds of dollars and sometimes higher; and WHEREAS, on February 26th staff requested City Council direction on how to exercise enforcement discretion when discontinuing water service to delinquent accounts and whether the City should require water service accounts to be in the property owner’s name instead of a tenant; and WHEREAS, on February 26th the City Council directed staff to enforce against delinquent accounts consistent with, and to the extent allowed under, state law and to bring back an ordinance amending the municipal code to require water utility accounts be in the property owner’s name; and WHEREAS, the City is authorized pursuant Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of Title 9 of the Solvang Municipal Code to disconnect water and sewer service for non-payment of charges and fees; and

WHEREAS, the Water Shutoff Protection Act, Health and Safety Code Sections 116902 et seq. and Public Utilities Code Sections 10010 and 10010.1 establish certain procedures to disconnect residential water service; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of Title 9 are generally consistent with state requirements but the City Council finds such Chapters would benefit from certain clarifying edits to better put the public on notice of state requirements and allow for more effective enforcement against delinquent accounts; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9-3A1-1 of the Solvang Municipal Code, the City currently allows water utility accounts to be in the tenant’s name provided the owner of the property accepts responsibility to pay any tenant unpaid water and sewer charges on the property; and WHEREAS, the City has encountered difficulty in recovering delinquent charges incurred by tenants from owners despite the requirement for owners to accept responsibility for such charges; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that going forward utility accounts should be in the name of the owner of the property because the owner has an interest in maintaining its property and timely paying utility bills and is in the best position, through its lease, to ensure a tenant contributes their share of any utilities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that language clarifying the City’s authority to bring suit, utilize collections services, and impose liens for delinquent water and sewer charges and associated penalties and other conforming edits are needed to allow for more effective enforcement of Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of Title 9 (Water and Sewer); and
24 WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this action constitutes general policy making that will not result in a direct impact to the environment and is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

NOW, THEREFORE, the people of the chartered City of Solvang do ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 9-2E-5 (Collection of water and sewer charges) of Chapter 2 (Sewer Code) of Title 9 (Water and Sewer) is hereby amended to read as follows:

The city shall discontinue water service to any premises for which the sewer service charges are in arrears and any such discontinuance of water service shall be in accordance with Section 9-3C-5.

A. Premises Using Both Sewer and Water. When premises are served by the city water system, sewer service charges shall be collected together with and not separately from the charges for water services rendered by the City, and all sewer and water charges shall be billed upon the same bill to the account established pursuant to Section 9-3A1-1 and collected as one item.

Consistent with Section 9-3A1-1, the account for sewer services shall be held by the owner of the property and the owner of the property shall be fully responsible and liable for payment of all sewer charges, and any delinquent sewer service charges, and any penalties applicable to his or her property.

B. Premises Using Only Sewer. Where the user of the sewer system is not also a user of the City water system, the user shall be billed separately for sewer service charges. Sewer service to a user of the sewer system who shall fail to pay sewer charges for his or her premises before they become delinquent shall be disconnected. The City inspector shall estimate the cost of disconnection from and reconnection to the system, and such user shall deposit the cost as estimated of disconnection and reconnection before such user is reconnected to the system.

B. All accounts for City water services shall be established by, and held in the name of, the owner of the property to which the City provides water services for such account. The owner of a property receiving City water services shall be fully responsible and liable for the payment of all water service charges, any delinquent water service charges, and any penalties applicable to his or her property.
25 1. At the time application for water service is requested, and upon request by the City, the applicant shall provide proof of ownership of the property to be served.

The owner of a property receiving City water services may designate, upon such form as may be specified by the City, any other person or entity, including a tenant on the property, to receive the bill for such water services; however the account shall remain in the name of the owner of the property and in the event the person designated by the owner to receive the bill fails to pay the bill, the owner of the property shall be fully responsible and liable for the payment of any charges, fines, penalties or amounts incurred under such account as if the bill had been sent to the owner of the property.

C. No application will be accepted unless payment in full has been made for water service previously rendered to the applicant by the City. Water will not be turned on if outstanding charges remain for water service previously rendered to the applicant by the City.

D. Subsection B shall apply to all applications for water service submitted to the City after the effective date of the ordinance revising this section to require accounts to be established solely in the name of the owner and shall not be retroactive.

SECTION 4. Subsection E is hereby deleted in its entirety from Section 9-3C-4 (Billing) of Chapter 3 (Water Code) of Title 9 (Water and Sewer); all other portions of Section 9-3C-4 remain the same.

SECTION 5. Section 9-3C-5 (Discontinuing Service) of Chapter 3 (Water Code) of Title 9 (Water and Sewer) is hereby amended to read as follows:

If a non-residential customer receives water service at more than one location and the bill for service at any one location is not paid within the time provided for payment, water service at all locations may be turned off.

1. Disconnection Charge. A disconnection charge shall be assessed as soon as City personnel leave City offices to initiate a disconnection of service for non-payment. The disconnection charge shall be in an amount established by resolution of City Council.

2. Reconnection. Disconnection charges, any delinquent charges and applicable penalties shall be imposed and collected prior to reconnection of water service following discontinuance of service for nonpayment of City fees and charges. Following payment of all fees and charges, including the disconnection charge, any delinquent fees and charges, and any applicable penalties, the City shall reconnect water service on the next business day or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.
i. Charge for After-hours Reconnection.

3. Charge for Returned Checks. A charge, in an amount to be determined by resolution of the City Council, shall be imposed for checks returned by the bank for any reason. If a check given to avoid discontinuation of service is returned by the bank or any reason, an additional disconnection charge, in an amount to be determined by resolution of City Council, shall be assessed as soon as City personnel leave City offices to initiate a disconnection of service for non-payment as a result of such returned check. The City reserves the right to require payment in the form of cash or its equivalent.

C. Prohibited Acts and Conditions. Water services may be refused or discontinued to any premises, both residential and non-residential, for the following acts or conditions:

1. Unsafe Apparatus. Where apparatus or appliances are in use which might endanger or disturb the service to other customers.

2. Cross Connections. Where there exists a cross connection in violation of state or federal laws, and/or where backflow prevention is determined necessary by the City inspector to protect the public health and safety.

3. Fraud or Abuse. To protect the City against fraud or abuse.

4. Noncompliance with Regulations. For noncompliance with this code or any other regulation related to the water service.

D. Vacation of Premises. Any customer desiring to discontinue service should so notify the City two working days prior to vacating the premises. Unless discontinuance of service is ordered, the customer shall be liable for charges whether or not any water is used.

E. Short-Term Disconnection. Upon notification to the City, short-term disconnections will be made where the time involved is greater than 45 consecutive calendar days.

SECTION 6. Section 9-3C-6 (Collection and enforcement) of Chapter 3 (Water Code) of Title 9 (Water and Sewer) is hereby amended to read as follows:
27 All users of the water system shall be deemed to have contracted with the City for the services of such system and to have agreed to comply with all the regulations of the City in regard thereto. No payment of water charges shall be accepted without payment of the sewer service charges. The City shall discontinue water service to any premises for which the sewer service charges are in arrears and any such discontinuance of water service shall be in accordance with Section 9-3C-5.

A. Service to Premises.

1. Using Both Sewer and Water. When premises are served by the City water system, sewer service charges shall be collected together with and not separately from the charges for water services rendered by the City, and all sewer and water charges shall be billed upon the same bill to the account established pursuant to Section 9-3A1-1 and collected as one item. If all or any part of the bill is not paid, the City may discontinue sewer services for which the bill was rendered. The City may also discontinue water services pursuant to Section 9-3C-5.

2. Using Only Sewer. Where the user of the sewer system is not a user of the City water system, they shall be billed separately for sewer service charges.

B. Penalty on Delinquency. All bills not paid on or before the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the month following the month service is rendered shall be delinquent, unless the twenty-fifth (25th) falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday the payment would be due by five (5:00) p.m. the next business day, and a penalty of 10% of the bill or amount due may be collected as a part of the principal amount thereof.

C. Nuisance During Disconnection. During the period of such disconnection, habitation of such premises by human beings shall constitute a public nuisance, whereupon the City Council shall cause proceedings to be brought for the abatement of the occupancy of said premises by human beings during the period of such disconnection. In such an event, and as a condition of reconnection, there is to be paid to the City a reasonable attorney fee and costs of suit arising in said action.

D. Enforcement and Remedies.

1. Disconnection. The procedure for disconnecting delinquent premises, as set out in section 9-3C-5 of this article, is established as a means of enforcement of collection of said charges, and not as a penalty.

2. Tax Bill Collection. In case any such charges remain unpaid at the time specified for fixing the tax rate of the City, if the property is owned, controlled or in the possession of the same person who owned, controlled or was in possession of it during the time such charges were incurred, or if the only transfers made of the property since the date such charges were incurred have been transfers by gifts, descent, or devise, the amount due for such charges may be added to and become a part of the annual taxes levied against the land served by the City facilities. Such charges so added constitute a lien on said land. If the taxes are divided and made payable in two installments, the unpaid charges may be added to and become a part of the first installment. The City Council shall include in the statement of tax rate transmitted to the tax authorities the amount of such charges to be levied against the land served, which amount shall be included in the tax bill.

3. Suit and Collections. All unpaid rates and charges and penalties herein provided may be collected by suit. Defendant shall pay all costs of suit, including attorney fees, in any judgment rendered in favor of the City. In any such action, the delinquent balances may also be processed through a collection agency.

4. All remedies included herein are cumulative to each other and to the remedies available under all laws of this state and this municipal code.

SECTION 7. This Ordinance has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations), and the City’s environmental procedures. The City has determined that this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because the Ordinance is not a project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2) and (5). The Ordinance constitutes administrative activities and general policy-making that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. 28 SECTION 8. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction or preempted by State or Federal legislation, such decision or legislation shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this ordinance.

SECTION 9. Solvang is a Charter City and has adopted its own rules for summarizing and posting ordinances once they are adopted. A summary of this ordinance will be prepared by the City Clerk. The summary will be posted in three locations after adoption as directed in the Solvang Municipal Code. A true and correct copy of the full ordinance together with a record of the vote of each Councilmember shall be kept by the City Clerk.

SECTION 10. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its passage.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED on this 10th day of June 2024. __________________________________

AGENDA ITEM 6.e
Meeting Date: June 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Approve Amendment 2 to the Agreement with Cannon Corporation for Utilities Department Staff in the amount not to exceed $42,000, for a total contract amount not to exceed $174,000, and to extend the term to June 30, 2025, and authorize the Mayor to execute on behalf of the City.

PREPARED BY: Randy Murphy, City Manager
DISCUSSION:

The City has been without a Utilities Director since early July. The City Manager executed the with Cannon in the amount of $42,000 to enable former Director Matt van der Linden to provide very parttime support to the City whilst we recruited a new Director. As this process was ongoing, there was a First amendment on October 9, 2023. This process is ongoing. In the meantime, the contracted amount and additional NTE has been exhausted and a second amendment is necessary to also extend the term.

As presented previously, the intent is to stop the contract as soon as a handoff with the new Utilities Director has happened.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could not approve the amendment which would leave the Utilities Department without any professional guidance until the new Director is hired.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact is minimal, as the fees are offset by salary and benefits savings.

Hourly Rates
Cannon’ s services will be provided on a time and materials basis up to an agreed upon not to exceed amount (unless authorized in advance) per the following hourly rates.

Senior Principal Engineer $ 248/ hour (Matt van der Linden, PE) Associate Engineer $ 200/ hour
Sr. Project Engineer $ 185/ hour
Project Engineer $ 168/ hour
When cost savings to the City can be achieved by utilizing other staff, hourly rates will be in accordance with Cannon’ s rates at the time the services are rendered.

Schedule
The above- described assistance will begin upon City approval of an Amendment to the City’ s existing On-Call Professional Services Agreement with Cannon. Cannon’ s assistance will continue on a quarterly basis through December 31, 2023; through March 31, 2024; or through June 30, 2024, unless otherwise extended or halted earlier by the City. During this period, Mr. van der Linden will be available by phone at (805) 680-7757, by email, or virtually by pre-scheduled appointment. An average of 10 hours per week (total for both office and other time) are anticipated during the transition period.

Estimated Fees
Over the past quarter (July 2023 through September 2023), our monthly charges amount to approximately $ 14,000 per month ( total of $42,000 for the quarter). Now that Mr. van der Linden is up-to-speed on current issues, it is likely monthly and quarterly costs will be less. We estimate monthly charges at $10,000 per month for a quarterly budget of $30,000. Therefore, we propose the total budgets for the various durations are as follows:

Through December 31, 2023 $ 30,000
Through March 31, 2024 $ 60,000
Through June 30, 2024 $ 90,000

37 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 6.f
Meeting Date: June 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Approve Amendment 4 to the agreement with Moore & Associates for Transit Management and Marketing Services for the additional amount not to exceed amount of $87,000 for a total contract amount not to exceed $912,758 and to extend the term to June 30, 2025 and authorize the Mayor to execute on behalf of the City
PREPARED BY: Rodger A. Olds, Public Works Director/City Engineer DISCUSSION:

The City of Solvang administers the Santa Ynez Valley Transit (SYVT) bus service on behalf of Solvang, Buellton and the County of Santa Barbara. SYVT links the cities of Buellton and Solvang and provides service throughout the Santa Ynez Valley. SYVT operates a fixed-route service and a DialARide service. SYVT has grown over the years from a lightly utilized service to a vital transportation option within the Santa Ynez Valley. The County-wide transit system has grown to include service between Lompoc, Buellton and Solvang (Wine Country Express), as well as service between Santa Maria, Los Alamos, Buellton and Solvang (Breeze 200).

Administration and operation of SYVT is highly complex due to the Federal and State funding sources, extensive government regulations, extensive reporting requirements, multiple agencies involved, specialized areas requiring expertise, customer service demands, and overall time demands.

Current City staffing levels are insufficient to handle all of the administrative, accounting, and reporting requirements for proper functioning of the Santa Ynez Valley Transit bus service. In addition, City staff does not possess the specialized marketing expertise required for SYVT.

Moore & Associates has provided professional Transit Management and Marketing services to the City and SYVT since 2014. They have been integral to the success of the SYVT. Moore & Associates has agreed to a one-year time extension at the current contract rate.

ALTERNATIVES:

Should the City Council not authorize staff to execute the contract with Moore and Associates, City Staff would be forced to manage the SYVT transit service in house. Current staff does not have the capacity nor the professional expertise to manage the SYVT transit service effectively or efficiently.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The annual cost of management and marketing services is anticipated to be $87,000. This is paid for through transit funds received by the City for providing the service.

ATTACHMENTS:

A –Contract Amendment 4 and Campaign Disclosure
B –Original Contract and Prior Amendments
38 AMENDMENT NO. 4
to the Agreement with
MOORE AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT is made and entered into this 1ST day of July, 2024 between the CITY OF SOLVANG, a municipal corporation and Charter City (City) and Moore & Associates, Inc., a California Corporation (Contractor).

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 6.g
Meeting Date: June 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Approve Amendment 2 to the agreement with SP Maintenance Services, Inc. for Street Sweeping Services for the additional amount not to exceed $42,500 for a total contract amount not to exceed $283,700 and to extend the term to June 30, 2025 and authorize the Mayor to execute on behalf of the City
PREPARED BY: Rodger A. Olds, Public Works Director/City Engineer DISCUSSION:

The City of Solvang has a continuing need for street sweeping services. The City has been under contract with SP Maintenance since 2018. This original contract and first one-year amendment shown as Attachment B is for street sweeping of all City streets, alleyways, and City owned parking lots for the past six (6) years.

The streets in the downtown “Village Area” are swept weekly, and the remainder of the City streets are swept every other Wednesday. The City parking lots and alleys are swept on a rotating 9-week cycle.

The City is currently required to sweep the streets as part of the stormwater permit issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The City must continue to complete this work in order to remain in compliance with the permit. Staff does not have the specialized equipment to perform this work in an efficient and reasonable manner.

Staff has discussed the proposed extension with SP Maintenance. After holding the same rate for a five-year term, and a nominal increase of 3% for their services. SP Maintenance has reviewed their costs to provide this service and has requested an increase of $1,300 or approximately 3.2% to provide this service over the next fiscal year. Staff sees this as a reasonable request and is requesting approval of contract Amendment 2 from the annual amount from $41,200 to $42,500.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council could deny Staff’s request for this contract extension. This would result in the streets in the City of Solvang not being swept and would put the City into non-compliance with the stormwater permit issued by the RWQCB.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no additional impact to the City’s general fund for this contract extension. Funding for these services is included in the Public Works Department operational budget.

ATTACHMENTS:

A – SP Maintenance Street Sweeping – Contract Amendment 2 and Campaign disclosure B – SP Maintenance Street Sweeping – Original Contract and Amendment 1 69 AMENDMENT NO. 2
to the Agreement with
SP MAINTENANCE SERVICES, INC.

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT is made and entered into this 1ST day of July, 2024 between the CITY OF SOLVANG, a municipal corporation and Charter City (City) and SP MAINTENANCE SERVICES, Inc., a California Corporation (Contractor). In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth in the original Agreement dated, June 25, 2018, and the First Amendment dated July 1, 2023, for Street Sweeping services the parties agree to the contract time extension and additional amount not to exceed $42,500, for a total contract amount not to exceed $283,700.

Marketing (January 1, 2023– December 31, 2023)
Creative
VisitSYV introduced the Perfectly campaign to the world Spring 2023 and it’s performing admirably. It continues to share space with content-forward Facebook and native ads.

The new Perfectly campaign centers around the idea that everyone’s idea of the perfect getaway isn’t the same. Some people are happy to sip a glass of pinot by the pool while others would rather put down some miles on the nearest hiking trail. Sometimes both. But when you spend time in the Santa Ynez Valley, you’re sure to find your perfect escape. The perfect getaway does exist, and it’s Perfectly SYV.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Project Title
Santa Barbara County Last-Mile Broadband Program ("Project") Project Location
The area subject to future broadband facility installations under the proposed Project includes the entire County of Santa Barbara, since, with a few exceptions discussed below, the specific locations of future broadband facility installations are currently not known (see Figure 1, Regional Location, below). Such future installations would be proposed and implemented as part of the Broadband Program, where appropriate, in order to provide adequate high-speed broadband internet services to underserved and unserved communities as priority communities and funding sources are identified.

A total of nine communities in the County have already been identified as "Priority Areas" under the Broadband Program. Figure 2, Broadband Facility Locations, below, provides a County-wide view of the Project Area, including the location of existing and/or approved middle-mile broadband facilities in the County, as well as the locations of all nine identified Priority Areas.

Project Description
The Project will include the installation of fiber optic cable in various locations throughout the County.

High-level network designs for last-mile connections have been prepared for four Priority Areas.

Funding for implementation, low-level design and construction, has been applied for but as of this NOP release, not yet been awarded. If awarded, SBCAG would have the Golden State Connect Authority (GSCA) undertake the work as they prepared the application and are a full-service Agenda Item 6.i
130
broadband infrastructure provider, that would design, permit, construct, operate, and maintain all proposed broadband network facilities in perpetuity within the four Priority Areas. An additional five Priority Area locations are looking to be advanced for high-level network design through SBCAG's agreement with GSCA.

In general, the new fiber optic lines would be installed underground following public or private roadways with the intention to minimize or avoid disturbance of roadway surfaces wherever feasible.

However, it is possible some fiber optic lines could be installed directly under roadways in areas with limited shoulder space or where existing conduit under the road may be used, thus avoiding new surface disturbance. The Project also includes installation and construction activities within those areas where lateral lines are installed between public or private roadways and individual businesses or residences. Individual residence or business connections typically would be installed within previously disturbed and/or developed areas (e.g., adjacent to driveways or in landscaped areas), and generally would avoid drainages and sensitive habitats. Lateral alignments would typically follow other utility installations. Although not anticipated, where subsurface installation of fiber optic cable is infeasible, aerial installation along existing utility poles will be undertaken. GSCA's methods of aerial installation will follow General Order 95 pole safety and loading requirements.

Components to be installed/constructed within the four Priority Areas include the following:
broadband conduit (i.e., rigid casing to protect fiber optic cables from physical damage and the elements) with diameters between ¾-inch and 2 inches to be installed within road rights-of-way (ROWs); aboveground, prefabricated walk-in huUshelters made of aggregate wall materials; small aboveground steel distribution cabinets/enclosures; distribution fiber, splice points, and drops; drop hubs; and small underground structures such as hand holes. Additional Project components that may be necessary to connect end-users to the middle-mile broadband network may include: utility poles with aerial fiber and connection points; underground fiber markers; and signage.

Once constructed, the broadband network components would generally operate passively, with only incidental maintenance typically consisting of weed abatement and periodic accessing of hand holes and splice cases from the ground surface along a given alignment.

Issues to Be Addressed in the EIR
The impact categories listed below have been preliminarily identified as anticipated issues to be addressed in the Program EIR.
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources (including Paleontological Resources) • Energy
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions/Climate Change
• Noise
• Tribal Cultural Resources
• Utilities and Service Systems (Electrical and Telecommunications Facilities) As a Program EIR, the EIR will have three primary purposes: (1) to provide a broad overview of the potential environmental consequences of the implementation of the Project on a County-wide basis; (2) to serve as a mid-tier environmental document that will focus and streamline the subsequent project-level review of individual future projects that will be undertaken and in aggregate are referred to as the Project; and (3) to provide detailed project-level analysis of the nine Priority Area project locations that will be evaluated in the PEIR.

SUBJECT: ENGINEERING SERVICES – AMI METER CHANGE-OUT – “METER BOX PROJECT” Dear Mr. Murphy and Mr. Mathews:

Cannon is pleased to provide this letter proposal for engineering and construction management services for the “Meter Box Project” as part of the City’s larger Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Meter Change-Out Project. The City of Solvang is working toward implementation of an AMI Water Meter Upgrade Project to upgrade all City water meters to AMI technology to improve water operations efficiency and conserve water. The proposed AMI system will provide numerous benefits to the City by improving the Water Division's ability to collect frequent and accurate water usage data to reduce staff time in the field, and improve leak detection, billing, and water resource management.

Where needed, the Meter Box Project will provide for meter grade adjustments and remove and replace undersized meter boxes with larger meter boxes to accommodate new AMI radios. Our following letter proposal covers engineering services to prepare the Project Manual, and construction management & inspection services to oversee construction of the Meter Box Project.

Cannon is a full-service, multi-disciplinary engineering company with registered professionals in water resources, civil, surveying, structural, electrical, instrumentation, and construction management and inspection. For this project, Mike Kielborn, PE, will be designated as Cannon’s project manager. Cannon staff assigned to provide services to the City of Solvang Water Division have significant waterworks experience and have worked for many water districts and cities throughout the Central Coast, Santa Ynez Valley, and beyond.

We believe our skills and staff will mesh nicely with your staff, and together, we can successfully implement the proposed Meter Box Project as part of the City’s larger AMI Meter Change-Out Project. We look forward to working with you on this beneficial project and are ready to proceed upon your acceptance of our proposal, and execution of an Agreement.

Sincerely,
Larry P. Kraemer, PE
Director, Water Resources Division

BACKGROUND AND APPROACH
The City of Solvang AMI Water Meter Upgrade Project will upgrade all City water meters to AMI technology to improve water operations efficiency and conserve water. The City’s proposed AMI water metering system will be automated and allow for real-time, on-demand investigations between the City’s operations center and individual customer’s meters. The proposed AMI Water Meter Upgrade Project will improve Water Division operational efficiency, improve customer and water system leak detection, reduce unaccounted for water usage, increase water conservation, and improve customer service and billing.

However, prior to attaching new AMI radios to the existing water meters, a few preliminary steps must be completed. Two of these steps include identifying and rectifying existing water meters that are sitting too high within their meter box and meter boxes that are too small to accommodate the new AMI radio attachment. The City will provide Cannon with lists of existing water meters that are sitting too high within their meter box and existing meter boxes that are too small to accommodate the new AMI radio attachment based on the field data collecting with the City’s ongoing Lead Water Service Line Inventory.

Based on these lists, Cannon proposes to prepare the Project Manual for the “Meter Box Project” to adjust grades of meters and install larger meter boxes. Cannon also proposes to provide construction management services to support the City in completing the Meter Box Project. The following scope of work was developed based on Cannon’s experience in waterworks engineering, our involvement assisting the City with its grant application for this Project, and our communications with City staff.

SCOPE OF WORK
Cannon’s scope of work includes the following tasks:

Task 1. Project Management & Coordination
Cannon will coordinate and attend a Project Kickoff Meeting with City/Water Division staff. This meeting agenda will focus on project understanding, team involvement, project constraints, and the anticipation of design development impediments. This meeting will also include a project introduction, review of background information and project scope, and defining the project schedule. This meeting provides a second opportunity for Water Division staff to steer the consultant team and further clarify critical elements of the project scope. Cannon will conduct research of available maps, records and data that may be relevant to the project. Cannon will provide appropriate project management and coordination throughout the engineering & design phase of the project to ensure successful completion of the project manual, and engineer’s cost estimate.

Task 2. Bid Schedule
Cannon will develop a detailed Bid Schedule for City staff review and comments. The purpose of the draft Bid Schedule submittal is to resolve critical issues and concerns prior to proceeding with further design. The draft Bid Schedule will be submitted early in the process for Water Division 140
240414
3 1050 Southwood Drive, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
805.544.7407
CannonCorp.us
review to ensure that all construction work necessary to lower the identified existing meters and remove and replace the identified meter boxes is appropriately covered. Cannon will meet with the Water Division staff to review the draft Bid Schedule and discuss staff comments. City staff comments will be addressed and incorporated in the final Bid Schedule that will be included in the Project Manual.

Task 3. Detail Drawings
Cannon will prepare and submit the following two customized details: 1) detail for lowering an existing water service and meter, and 2) detail for removing an existing small water meter box and replacing it with a larger meter box. Detail Drawings will be prepared on 8.5” x 11” sheets for inclusion in the Project Manual. Cannon will submit a draft version in PDF format for Water Division staff review and comments. Upon receipt of staff comments, Cannon will incorporate changes and finalize the Detail Drawings, and submit the final version with the draft Project Manual. The Detail Drawings will be incorporated into the Project Manual as appendices. As with the draft Bid Schedule, the purpose of the draft Detail Drawings submittal is to resolve critical issues and concerns prior to completing the draft Project Manual.

Task 4. Project Manual
Cannon will prepare and submit a draft and final Project Manual. The draft Project Manual will include all bid documents including complete bid schedule, contract documents including construction agreement, general provisions, special provisions, and technical specifications. The Project Manual will utilize the City’s standard project manual template. Cannon will prepare project specific special provisions and technical specifications. A PDF copy of the draft Project Manual will be submitted for Water Division review and comments. Based on the direction and comments received from the draft submittal review, Cannon will prepare and submit the final Project Manual. The final Project Manual will incorporate review comments of the draft Project Manual. Upon City approval, the final submittal package will contain 5 hard copies and a PDF copy of the Project Manual (including Detail Drawings).

Task 5. Engineer’s Cost Estimate
Cannon will prepare a construction cost estimate for the project with cost line items exactly matching bid schedule line items. In addition to the list of all expected items of construction (bid items), the engineer’s construction cost estimate will include quantities, unit costs, and total costs.

Items such as mobilization, stormwater protection, and project safety & traffic control will also be included. One digital copy of the cost estimate will be included with the draft and final submittals for review and comment by the City. One copy of the final cost estimate will be submitted with the final Project Manual along with an electronic copy. The final cost estimate will not include a contingency but reflects our best estimation of the actual construction cost. We will address the City comments following each review. The engineer’s cost estimate will be prepared using Microsoft Excel.

Task 6. Bidding Phase Assistance
Cannon will maintain a plan holders list, attend the pre-bid meeting/job walk, and assist in answering questions at the meeting. We will also respond to requests for information (RFIs) during 141
240414
4 1050 Southwood Drive, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

the bidding phase. Cannon will assist City staff with the bid opening and prepare a bid tabulation/summary.

Task 7. Construction Management Services
Cannon will provide construction management services for the Meter Box Project including interacting with contractors and City staff. We will administer the construction contract, and provide progress photos, quality control review, weekly reports, final walkdown and project closeout. Cannon will provide a Resident Engineer (RE) in responsible charge of the construction contract. The RE will be responsible for the Weekly Summary Report. The Weekly Summary Report will be based upon the daily work activity logs prepared by the designated construction observer and will contain photos taken during the period. We will create and maintain well-organized construction records/files that enable quick retrieval of documentation. Throughout construction, Cannon will provide construction engineering support and coordination. Services will include:
• Onsite attendance and coordination of a preconstruction conference with representatives from the contractor, major subcontractors, City staff, Cannon, utility representatives, and any other applicable project stakeholders.
• Attendance and coordination of weekly progress meetings. • Verification of compliance with drawings, specifications, and permit conditions. • Review and response to contractor submittals.
• Response to contractor requests for information (RFIs). • Review and negotiation to requests for change.
• Review of progress invoices.
• Verification of contractor’s schedule and progress tracking. • Monitor contract time utilizing a Weekly Statement of Working Days form.

Task 8. Inspection Services
Cannon will provide construction observation services including the following:
• Provide an observer at the project site primarily during critical work items (currently estimated at 24 full-day site visits during construction operations) to act as an on-site representative of the Water Division to observe that the project work is in general compliance with the project plans and specifications. This will include 16 hours per week for 12 weeks including travel time.
• Implement observation guidelines for monitoring the quality of the Contractor’s work and conduct field observation.
• Document construction activities through daily logs (when on site) containing information for documentation purposes, including location, operations (contract item or change order), labor, equipment, materials, hours, field conditions, discussions with Contractor, down-time, inefficiencies, etc.
• Take photographs to document construction activities and progress. • Obtain delivery slips and tickets for materials delivered to the jobsite to use when checking payment requests.
• Final walkdown of each completed project site and prepare a punch-list for each site with recommendations for corrections and/or completion of remaining work. 142

APPENDIX A: TERMS FOR CANNON SERVICES
Section 1: The Agreement

1.1 The agreement between the above noted parties consists of the following terms, the attached proposal and any exhibits or attachments noted in the proposal. Together these elements will constitute the entire agreement superseding any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, or agreements either written or oral.

Any changes to this agreement must be mutually agreed to in writing.

Section 2: Standard of Care

2.1 Data, interpretations, and recommendations by Cannon will be based solely on information provided to Cannon. Cannon is responsible for those data, interpretations, and recommendations, but will not be responsible for other parties' interpretations or use of the information developed.

2.2 Services performed by Cannon under this agreement are expected by the Client to be conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of this profession practicing contemporaneously under similar conditions in the locality of the project. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made.

2.3 The Client agrees that Cannon may use and publish the Client's name and a general description of Cannon’s services with respect to the project in describing Cannon’s experience and qualifications to other Clients and prospective Clients. The Client also agrees that any patentable or copyrightable concepts developed by Cannon as a consequence of service hereunder are the sole and exclusive property of Cannon.

2.4 The Client recognizes that it is neither practical nor customary for Cannon to include all construction details in plans and specifications, creating a need for interpretation by Cannon or an individual who is under Cannon’s supervision. The Client also recognizes that construction review permits Cannon to identify and correct quickly and at comparatively low cost professional errors or omissions that are revealed through construction, or errors or omissions committed by others due to misinterpretation of design documents, or due to other causes. For the foregoing reasons construction review is generally considered an essential element of a complete design professional service. Accordingly, if the Client directs Cannon not to provide construction monitoring, Cannon shall be held harmless for any and all acts, errors or omissions, except for those consequences which it reasonably could be concluded that Cannon’s review services would not have prevented or mitigated.

2.5 Client acknowledges that Cannon is not responsible for the performance of work by third parties including, but not limited to, engineers, architects, contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers of Client.

Section 3: Billing and Payment

3.1 Client will pay Cannon on a monthly basis to be billed by Cannon. Prior to the start of the project, a retainer as specified in the proposal, is required. Invoices for the balance will be submitted to Client by Cannon and will be due and payable within 10 days of invoice date. If Client objects to all or any portion of any invoice, Client will so notify Cannon in writing within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date, identify the cause of the disagreement, and pay when due that portion of the invoice not in dispute. The parties will immediately make every effort to settle the disputed portion of the invoice. In the absence of written notification described above, the balance as stated on the invoice will be paid.

3.2 Invoices are delinquent if payment has not been received within thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Client will pay an additional charge of 1-1/2 (1.5) percent per month or 18% per year of any delinquent amount, excepting any portion of the invoiced amount in dispute and resolved in favor of Client. All time spent and expenses incurred (including any attorney's fees) in connection with collection of any delinquent amount will be paid by Client to Cannon per Cannon’s current fee schedule. In the event Client fails to pay Cannon within sixty (60) days after invoices are rendered, Client agrees that Cannon will have the right to consider the failure to pay Cannon’s invoice as a breach of this agreement.

3.3 Client agrees that if Client requests services not specified herein, Client agrees to timely pay for all such services as extra work. Cannon will notify the Client prior to performance of services which are not specified in this agreement.

3.4 Client agrees that payment to Cannon is in no way contingent on the results of work by Cannon or on the outcome of any litigation.

3.5 Preparation for and/or travel time to client requested meetings will be charged at the hourly rate.

3.6 Billing rates are subject to change, typically on an annual basis.

Section 4: Additional Services

4.1 Additional services include making revisions in drawings, specifications or other documents when such revisions are:

Inconsistent with approvals or instructions previously given by the Client, including revisions made necessary by adjustments in the Client's program or project budget; Required by the enactment or revision of codes, laws or regulations subsequent to the preparation of such documents.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 8.a
Meeting Date: June 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action to approve and adopt joint powers agreement for Santa Ynez Valley Basin Eastern Management Area Groundwater Sustainability Agency
PREPARED BY: Dave Fleishman, Assistant City Attorney
DISCUSSION:

Over the past two years, City staff have been engaged in discussions with the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District-Improvement District #1 (“ID1”), the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District (“Conservation District”) and the Santa Barbara County Water Agency (“Agency”), in an attempt to negotiate a joint powers agreement to govern the Eastern Management Area (“EMA”) of the Santa Ynez Valley groundwater basin as that basin’s Groundwater Sustainability Agency (“GSA”).

Council has discussed various drafts of the agreement, including at its January 24, March 27 and May 13 meetings, and Council provided staff direction on modifications it wanted to negotiate into the final agreement.

The four agencies have finally reached tentative agreement on the final form of the agreement, which is presented as an attachment to this report. As noted in the agenda report for the Council’s May 13 meeting, the final issue to be resolved was the start-up funding for the JPA. The initial seed money amount was left as a blank in Section 14.2 of the agreement for the May 13 version, but the four agencies have agreed to put up $50,000 each to fund start-up costs of the new agency. It bears noting that there is still no provision for the agricultural representative to contribute any funds to the JPA.

The purpose of this staff report is to allow the Council a final opportunity to discuss the JPA Agreement and decide whether it wishes to approve and adopt the agreement. Staff recommends that the Council approve and adopt the agreement and direct the Mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.

Once the JPA agreement is approved by all parties, the parties will continue to meet regarding administrative start-up issues and a work plan for assuming the responsibilities of the current EMA GSA, but the JPA will be a legally separate entity from the four constituent agencies.

ALTERNATIVES:

Provide alternative direction to staff regarding joint powers agreement terms.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact to date from the negotiations surrounding the proposed JPA agreement has been limited to staff and city attorney time, which has been absorbed into the existing budget. Based on the current terms of the cost sharing provisions of the JPA agreement, the City’s contribution to startup costs of the JPA is $50,000, which amount is within currently adopted budget limits ATTACHMENTS:

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOLVANG DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS: That pursuant to Elections Code §13307, each candidate for elective office to be voted for at the General Municipal Election to be held in the City of Solvang on November 5, 2024, may prepare a candidate's statement on an appropriate form provided by the City Clerk. The statement may include the name, age and occupation of the candidate and a brief description of no more than two hundred (200) words of the candidate's education and qualifications expressed by the candidate themselves. The statement shall not include party affiliation of the candidate, nor membership or activity in partisan political organizations. The statement shall be filed in typewritten form in the office of the City Clerk at the time the candidate's nomination papers are filed. Except as provided in Elections Code §13309, the statement may be withdrawn, but not changed, during the period for filing nomination papers and until 5:00 p.m. of the next working day after the close of the nomination period.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOLVANG, CALIFORNIA, PROVIDING

FOR A PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING BY LOT A TIE AMONG CANDIDATES AT THE NOVEMBER 5, 2024 GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ELECTIONS CODE SECTION 15651
WHEREAS, Elections Code § 15651 authorizes the City Council to determine the means and manner in which a tie vote is to be resolved in the event that two or more persons receive an equal and the highest number of votes ("tie votes") for an office to be voted upon in a city; and WHEREAS, Elections Code § 15651 provides that the tie vote shall be resolved in one of the following ways:

By Lot: The City Clerk, serving as the Elections Official pursuant to Elections Code § 320, or his or her designee, shall summon the candidates who have received the tie votes, whether upon the canvass of the returns or upon recount by a court, to appear before the City Council at a time to be designated by the City Council. The City Clerk shall at that time and place resolve the tie votes by lot (defined below); or
By Special Election: The legislative body may resolve a tie vote by the conduct of a special runoff election involving those candidates who receive an equal number of votes. A special runoff election shall be held only if the legislative body adopts provisions of§ 15651(b) of the Elections Code prior to the conduct of the election resulting in the tie vote. All future elections conducted by that body shall be resolved likewise unless the legislative body later repeals the order for the conduct of a special runoff election.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOLVANG DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. That pursuant to Elections Code § 15651, if any two or more persons receive an equal and the highest number of votes for an office to be voted for within the City, the tie votes shall be resolved by lot. "By lot" means, by deciding the matter through implementing a method of chance, in order to afford each candidate receiving tie votes a fair opportunity at election.

SECTION 2. That the City Council has the authority to resolve tie votes by lot, by implementing various methods of chance, including, but not limited to, a coin toss, generation of random number, or drawing of names. In the interest of maintaining decorum, fairness and transparency, the method implemented for resolving tie votes in the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election shall be the drawing of names, in accordance with the following procedure:

The City Clerk shall type the name of each candidate who has tied for office on a separate, but identical piece of paper, which shall be folded and deposited into a container and mixed so that the pieces of paper become indistinguishable. The City Clerk, or his or her designee, shall then draw from the container as many pieces of paper as there are seats on the City Council to be filled by the candidates who have tied. The candidate(s) whose name(s) appear(s) upon the drawn piece(s) of paper shall be deemed elected.

SECTION 3. That this Resolution shall apply only to the election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, and shall be repealed upon the City Council's declaration of election results. 189
SECTION 4. That the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 8.c
Meeting Date: June 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action to Receive TOT Tax Measure Poll Results for the November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election; and Potentially Approving and Submitting an Ordinance regarding the TOT Tax Measure for Voter Consideration at the November 5, 2024 election:
i. By 4/5 Vote Adopt Resolution No. 24-1261 Approving submission of an ordinance continuing and modifying an existing transient occupancy (hotel) tax to the voters at the general municipal election to be held on November 5, 2024, and directing the city attorney to prepare an impartial analysis thereof
ii. Adopt Resolution No. 24-1262 Setting priorities for filing written arguments regarding a City ballot measure
iii. Adopt Resolution 24-1263 providing for the filing of rebuttal arguments for a city measure submitted at the November 5, 2024, general municipal election PREPARED BY: Dave Fleishman, Assistant City Attorney
DISCUSSION:

On April 8, 2024, the City Council set City Council goals for the next two-year financial plan, including goals to improve police response and overall public safety service, assess opportunities and financing to improve traffic, pedestrian and bicycle circulation; support local organizations to meet community needs; assess library needs; and develop a long-term infrastructure maintenance funding plan among others. In furtherance of these goals, staff evaluated whether a revenue measure may be important to City of Solvang residents to support and maintain the City’s various public services. To evaluate resident feedback on City services and local needs and priorities, the City launched a community outreach effort via a scientific method survey and an extended community outreach effort called Join the Conversation. Between these two community surveys over 400 residents participated and told the City they wanted their Solvang City services maintained.

Godbe Research, a nationally renowned survey company, conducted a formal Community Survey to assess local funding options and resident needs and priorities. Based on the results, the community noted the following priorities were important:

1. Maintaining pothole and street repair

2. Completing deferred maintenance of streets, roads, sidewalks, and City facilities

3. Maintaining City parks

4. Providing traffic safety and parking relief

5. Maintaining senior, adult and youth recreation programs and City funded community and special events

6. Maintaining 911 emergency response
The input from the community also indicated the viability of a voter ballot measure continuing and modifying the existing hotel tax from 12 percent to 14 percent on the November 5, 2024 ballot, if the City Council elects to move forward with the ballot measure. As such, staff has prepared the attached resolution for consideration by the City Council.

If adopted, the resolution would direct the placement of a ballot measure on the general election ballot for consideration by the voters at the November 5, 2024 general election. The ballot measure, if 192
adopted by the voters, would modify Section 3-2-2 of the Solvang Municipal Code to continue the City’s existing transient occupancy (hotel) tax, and to increase the current 12% tax rate to 14%. This rate is consistent with the rate levied in other tourist-oriented cities throughout California.

The City Council does not have its own authority to raise taxes, but rather only to put a measure on the ballot for voter approval. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53724(b), to place a tax measure on the ballot, the City Council must approve the submission of the measure to the voters by a 2/3 vote of the City Council (which is effectively a 4/5 vote). An adjustment to the TOT rate must be approved by the voters within the City. If the City Council decides to place the TOT measure on the November 5, 2024 ballot, the voters would need to approve the measure by a simple majority (50% + 1) for the measure to take effect. The draft Resolution includes the specific language of the ballot question that will be presented to the voters as required by the Elections Code. City staff anticipates returning to Council at a later date to suggest options for citizen oversight of the revenues from the ballot measure should it pass in November.

The Elections Code sets forth that, whenever any City measure qualifies to be placed on a ballot or at the direction of the City Council, the City Council may direct the Elections Official to transmit a copy of the measure to the City Attorney for preparation of the impartial analysis. The City Attorney would then prepare an impartial analysis of the measure showing the effect of the measure on the existing law and the operation of the measure in 500 words or less. The impartial analysis would be included in the sample ballot materials sent to each registered voter. The draft resolution directs the City Attorney to prepare this impartial analysis.

ALTERNATIVES:

Provide alternative direction to staff regarding the proposed ballot measure.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of the measure, should it be approved by the voters in November, is approximately $1,000,000 annually in revenue. There will be minor additional costs incurred in placing the measure on the ballot in an undetermined amount, but one that is anticipated to be within existing budgeted limits.

SUBMISSION OF AN ORDINANCE CONTINUING AND MODIFYING AN EXISTING TRANSIENT

OCCUPANCY (HOTEL) TAX TO THE VOTERS AT THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 5, 2024, AND DIRECTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN

IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS THEREOF
WHEREAS, through an engagement effort and discussion around the City’s budget, residents identified City service funding priorities such as maintaining pothole and street repair, completing deferred maintenance of streets, roads, sidewalks, and City facilities, maintaining City parks, providing traffic safety and parking relief, maintaining senior, adult and youth recreation programs and City funded community and special events and maintaining 911 emergency response; and WHEREAS, local voter approved funding will help maintain the current level of police service, including neighborhood patrols and crime prevention programs which are vital to protecting Solvang’s quality of life; and
WHEREAS, this measure will give Solvang local control over local funds for local needs – allowing Solvang to be self-reliant and requiring local tax dollars to be spent for Solvang residents and preventing money from being taken by Sacramento; and
WHEREAS, this measure will reduce the impact on local taxpayers so local residents do not shoulder the cost and visitors and tourists also contribute to the services they utilize; and WHEREAS, this measure will provide the funding for well-maintained City streets, roads, parks, and recreation centers which help protect our property values; and WHEREAS, the proposed measure will include strict accountability requirements such as public disclosure of all spending and annual independent financial audits that ensure funds are used effectively and as promised, and only to benefit the Solvang community.

NO
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby approves the proposed Ordinance, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A, to be submitted to the voters.

The people of the chartered City of Solvang do ordain as follows:

SECTION 1.

Chapter 2 of Title 3 of the Solvang Municipal Code, Section 3-2-2 “Tax Imposed” is hereby amended to read as follows:

For the privilege of occupancy in any hotel, each transient is subject to and shall pay a tax in the amount of 14% of the rent charged or 14% of the value of the complimentary room calculated on the average monthly room rate. Such tax constitutes a debt owed by the transient to the city, which is extinguished only by payment to the operator or to the city. The transient shall pay the tax to the operator of the hotel at the time the rent is paid. If the rent is paid in installments, a proportionate share of the tax shall be paid with each installment. The unpaid tax shall be due upon the transient's ceasing to occupy space in the hotel. If for any reason the tax is not paid to the operator of the hotel, the finance department may require that such tax shall be paid directly to the finance department.

SECTION 2.

This Ordinance has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations), and the City’s environmental procedures. The City has determined that this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) because the City Council hereby finds with certainty that there is no possibility the passage of this Ordinance will result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment nor have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 3.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction or preempted by State or Federal legislation, such decision or legislation shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this ordinance.

SECTION 4.

If this ordinance is approved by a majority of the electors voting on the issue at the November 5, 2024 general municipal election, pursuant to Elections Code Section 9217, the ordinance shall be become effective ten (10) days after the City Council accepts the certified results of the election.

Mayor Infanti and City Council members,
The City Manager has contacted Visit the Santa Ynez Valley to solicit our input on a potential ballot initiative to increase the transient occupancy tax (TOT) from 12% to 14%.

While VisitSYV has no official position on such an initiative, there appears to be a general consensus among our member hotels about maintaining a level playing field for TOT rates between jurisdictions within the Santa Ynez Valley not to give a tax advantage to one jurisdiction over another. We would like to see the TOT rates be consistent throughout the Valley so that the rate charged in Solvang would be the same as that charged in Buellton and, ideally, the unincorporated areas of the Valley. As Buellton and now the County are considering placing such an item on the ballot in November, it may be an opportune time to place one in Solvang as well, to attempt to keep the rates the same.

I appreciate you reaching out and considering our position on this matter.

MEASURE U STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item: 8.d
Meeting Date: June 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action to Approve Measure U Committee recommendations for Measure U expenditures; and
Authorize creation of a Strategic Plan for the Measure U committee.

PREPARED BY: Wendy Berry, Administrative Services Director DISCUSSION: The Measure U Committee met on April 26, 2024 and May 28, 2024. The Committee recommends City Council utilize Measure U funds to support the following items:
$115,000 Public Space lighting improvements.
$75,000 to support the development of a recreation master plan. $500,000 to protect and maintain public safety services. $450,000 grant to support facilities for Senior and recreation programs. $250,000 for potholes and street repairs
$40,000 for Brush clearance and fire safety
$200,000 for the PSR for Caltrans for the design/construction of streetscape to improve traffic flow on SR246/Mission
$1,500,000 for the Sheriff’s contract
$70,000 Emergency Plan update
Staff determined the Ice-Skating Rink logistically was not going to work for Julefest 2024 so it was removed from the 24/25 budget and added to the 25/26 budget. Staff will continue to evaluate whether it is a feasible option.

Using Measure U monies to fund the Sheriff contract freed up General Fund monies for other services and brought the General Fund into balance.

The Measure U committee also recommended City Council direct Staff to create a Strategic Plan to help guide how future Measure U funds will be spent.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item: 8.e
Meeting Date: June 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action to approve the Preliminary Budget PREPARED BY: Wendy Berry, Administrative Services Director DISCUSSION:

The City is required by law to create a budget every year. Prior Council directed staff to create a biennial budget that authorized an operating budget for the subsequent two years. One of the advantages of this new process is that it improves efficiency in the budget process by limiting the time spent on budget preparation and requires strategic planning over a two-year period. This will be the first biennial budget where both the current staff and City Council have been involved from start to finish.

The preliminary draft budget presented tonight is for fiscal years 2024/2025 and 2025/2026. The operating and capital budget for the second year (FY 25/26) will be reviewed and amended in the spring of 2025 as part of the mid-cycle budget review process and is referred to as a Mid-Cycle budget.

The 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) will be presented to City Council in August after it is determined by the Planning Commission to be compliant with the General Plan. The final draft budget will be presented to the City Council at the June 24, 2024 City Council meeting for adoption.

Proposed Budget Summary:

The FY 24/25 proposed budget for all funds includes a total revenue of $25,999,063.00 and total expenses of $23,859,893.00 with a projected combined surplus of $2,139,170.

General Fund Summary:

The General Fund total revenue is $10,932,272 and total expenses are $10,248,786 with a projected surplus of $683,486. The General Fund started out with an approximate $2,000,000 deficit. For staff to bring a balanced budget to City Council, they had to cut expenses and recommend using money from the Measure U fund, which was presented to City Council in the prior discussion. Staff also determined to not fund the Management Analyst position and the part time Parks and Recreation person until January 2025 and also removed the purchase of NeoGov software. The janitorial contract will remain but the sidewalk cleaning and sidewalk grinding contracts will not be renewed and the Public Works staff will take over these responsibilities. Measure A funds of $120,000 will be transferred to the General Fund to cover Public Works staff additional maintenance of the sidewalks.

The General Fund’s main sources of revenue are Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and sales tax. After talking with the City’s tax consultants, staff reduced the tax revenue by 3% as it is predicted sales tax revenue will decline next year. Consequently, staff estimates Sales Tax Revenue will be $1,980,564 for 24/25 compared to 23/24 which is $2,021,200.

Staff estimates TOT revenue will be $4,754,000 for 24/25 compared to 23/24 is $4,900,000. Staff will provide further updates when actual revenue is known and may make mid-cycle adjustments.

Property Tax revenue is estimated to be $1,567,871 which is a 6.2% increase from 23/24 at $1,470,259.

Table 1 below compares tax revenue for fiscal years 22/23-24/25.

Table 2 below shows the fund balance as of June 30, 2025. It is estimated the fund balance will increase by $683,486 by the end of the year providing no changes are made to the budget. It is crucial to increase the year-end fund balance to enable financing of capital improvement projects for all funds. 207

Wastewater Fund: The Wastewater Fund has been in a deficit in the past few years which prompted a rate increase based on a rate study.

Personnel Updates: Personnel costs account for the salaries and benefits of city employees and include full and part-time. The positions that have been filled are two Parks employees, one Maintenance Worker and a Water Operator. The Planning/Public Works Admin Assistant and making the Code Enforcement position full-time instead of having two part-time positions are the new positions in the budget. Filling the Management Analyst position has been postponed until January and the Utility Director position is still vacant. Below in Table 9 is a table of full-time employee counts over the last several fiscal years. The estimated personnel costs for 24/25 are $6,245,834.

Human Services Grant Funding: At the time City Council approved the grant funding requests, the General Fund budget was in the red by $1,017,000. Since then, staff met with the Measure U Committee and determined $1,570,000 of Measure U monies could fund the law enforcement contract and the emergency plan update which frees up General Fund monies to be spent on other general services. Currently, the General Fund budget has a projected positive year-end balance of $473,355.

Because the General Fund is in the black, City Council may reconsider the grant funding allocations and direct staff to revise the draft budget.
