Dear Council Members
RE: Request for official recognition from the SV Historical Society to the Sonoma City council February 3, 2022, as the designated official Historian and Archives of the city of Sonoma.
This proposal is for official recognition of the ongoing roles the Society is uniquely able to provide the City
We are unique:
• There are other organizations that use history but the SVHS has been the steward of Sonoma history since 1937.
• We maintain an archive open to the public with paid staff. • In pre COVID years we have approximately 6000 visitors to the museum and questions about Sonoma history directly asked to us through our Facebook page and the other numerous cross posts we do sometimes answering as many as 30 questions on one post.
The Chamber, Visitors Bureau and City of Sonoma refer questions about Sonoma history to our collections manager Lorrie Fulton regularly.
We are contacted through social media-Facebook, our website and the Depot Park Museum to answer questions about Sonoma history.
• Writers of articles with worldwide circulation,
• Local businesses that want to promote their business by associating their current business with the business in the past.
• People making movies about Sonoma or researching aspects of our community. • We provide information and photos to the local newspapers. • We are helping the city with information about local historic resources. • Our Facebook page has consistently over 2000 views of the weekly posts Agenda Item #4.2:
2 Examples of users are
International authors like the garden writer looking for information about the SDC farm that was published in an English gardening journal. The Editor of the IT looking for flashback Friday photos Sonoma County Historical Society
Much of the material for the Call of the Valley movie came from our archives.
Historic Resource evaluators looking for specific information on historic Sonoma properties.
Architects from Napa, Sonoma, San Francisco and other places The Arcadia book by Mike Acker on the Sonoma Springs used over fifty images from the SVHS collections for my book (The Springs, the Resort Towns of Sonoma Valley)
We have significant archives that are constantly growing Included are rare newspapers, original legal and social history documents Examples are:
The records of local people and organizations such:
as the Chamber of Commerce, Sonoma Valley Woman’s Club, Extensive photography collections including Richard O’Neil and Ron Zak. Our archives include archival material from the Bear Flaggers and the early 1840s residents, Jack London, local attorneys, family collections from pioneer vintners, indigenous basketry, railroad maps local land grant maps and a myriad of other important historical archival materials.
During the past 5 years we have an established ongoing partnership with the California State Library to share our archives through the California Revealed program. They fund the cataloguing of archives that are important on a State and National basis from our archives and digitize them for no cost to us. The digitized material is available on the California Revealed website and the Internet Archive.
Outreach to Sonoma schools is our third grade Social Studies Common Core curriculum, History Community and Me. Providing students a way to learn about the diverse populations that have live in Sonoma Valley that the students are part of the continuum of.
Agenda Item #4.2:
3 The Sonoma Valley Historical Society has been active in promoting heritage tourism through the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the California Preservation Foundation, the National Advisory Board for Historic Preservation, the California Mission Foundation and through our Strategic Partner the Sonoma Valley Visitor’s Bureau.

Adopt a Resolution Opposing Initiative 21-0042A1 a State Ballot Measure Restricting Voters' Input and Local Taxing Authority
Summary
In 2018, the “Tax Fairness, Transparency and Accountability Act” or (AG# 17-0050 Amdt. #1), was being circulated to qualify for the November 2018 ballot. This initiative would have drastically limited local revenue authority. Through the successful work and advocacy of the League of California Cities and its coalition, the measure’s proponents withdrew the initiative from the ballot in June 2018.
On Jan. 4, 2022, the California Business Roundtable filed the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act or AG# 21-0042A1. This measure is far more detrimental to cities than the measure filed in 2018, because it would decimate vital local and state services to the benefit of wealthy corporations.
Cal Cities, along with a broad coalition of local governments, labor and public safety leaders, infrastructure advocates, and businesses, strongly oppose this initiative.
The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act limits voters’ authority, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold violators of state and local laws accountable.
This staff report and resolution were prepared using the templates provided by Cal Cities.
With the adoption of the resolution, the City would officially oppose the ballot measure would join the Cal Cities coalition in opposition to the ballot measure.
WHAT WOULD THIS MEASURE SPECIFICALLY DO?
• Limit voter authority and accountability
o Limits voter input. Prohibits local voters from providing direction on how local tax dollars should be spent by prohibiting local advisory measures. o Invalidates the Upland decision that allows a majority of local voters to pass special taxes. Taxes proposed by the Initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. All measures passed between January 2022 and November 2022 would be invalidated unless reenacted within 12 months.
• Restrict local fee authority to provide local services o Impacts franchise fees. Sets new standard for fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property. The standard may significantly restrict the amount oil companies, utilities, gas companies, railroads, garbage Agenda Item #4.5:
companies, cable companies, and other corporations pay for the use of local public property. Rental and sale of local government property must be “reasonable” which must be proved by “clear and convincing evidence.” o Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” The burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed “actual cost” is changed to “clear and convincing” evidence.
• Restrict authority of state and local governments to issue fines and penalties for violations of law
o Requires voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties. • Restrict local tax authority to provide local services o Requires voter approval to expand existing taxes (e.g., UUT, use tax, TOT) to new territory (e.g., annexation) or expanding the base (e.g., new utility service). o City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee. o New taxes can be imposed only for a specific time period. o Taxes adopted after Jan. 1, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted.
o All state taxes require majority voter approval.
o Prohibits any surcharge on property tax rate and allocation of property tax to state.
• Other changes
o No fee or charge or exaction regulating vehicle miles traveled can be imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.

RESOLUTION # _____ - 2022
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SONOMA OPPOSING INITIATIVE 21-0042A1 A STATE BALLOT MEASURE RESTRICTING VOTERS’ INPUT
AND LOCAL TAXING AUTHORITY
WHEREAS, an association representing California’s wealthiest corporations is behind a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot; and WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local infrastructure, our environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources; and WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent; and
WHEREAS, the measure makes it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to state and local services at risk, and could force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more; and
WHEREAS, the measure would also reduce funding for critical infrastructure like streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new schools, sanitation, and utilities.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Sonoma opposes Initiative 21-0042A1.
THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Sonoma will join the NO on Initiative 21-0042A1 coalition, a growing coalition of public safety, labor, local government, infrastructure advocates, and other organizations throughout the state. We direct staff to email a copy of this adopted resolution to the League of California Cities at [email protected].

Agenda Item #4.5:
Stop the Corporate Loopholes Scheme
Deceptive Proposition Allows Major Corporations to Avoid Paying their Fair Share and Evade Enforcement when they Violate Environmental, Health & Safety Laws An association representing California’s wealthiest corporations — including oil, insurance, banks and drug companies — is behind a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot. Their measure would create major new loopholes that allow corporations to avoid paying their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities; while also allowing corporations to evade enforcement when they violate environmental, health, safety and other state and local laws. Here’s why a broad coalition of local governments, labor and public safety leaders, infrastructure advocates, and businesses oppose the Corporate Loophole Scheme:
Gives Wealthy Corporations a Major Loophole to Avoid Paying their Fair Share - Forcing Local Residents and Taxpayers to Pay More • The measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local infrastructure, our environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources – shifting the burden and making individual taxpayers pay more.
Allows Corporations to Dodge Enforcement When They Violate Environmental, Health, Public Safety and Other Laws
• The deceptive scheme creates new loopholes that makes it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods.
Jeopardizes Vital Local and State Services
• This far-reaching measure puts at risk billions of dollars currently dedicated to critical state and local services.
• It could force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services and more. • It would also reduce funding for critical infrastructure like streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new schools, sanitation, utilities and more.
Opens the Door for Frivolous Lawsuits, Bureaucracy and Red Tape that Will Cost Taxpayers and Hurt Our Communities
• The measure will encourage frivolous lawsuits, bureaucracy and red tape that will cost local taxpayers millions — while significantly delaying and stopping investments in infrastructure and vital services.
Agenda Item #4.5:
Undermines Voter Rights, Transparency, and Accountability • This misleading measure changes our constitution to make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and local infrastructure.
• It also includes a hidden provision that would retroactively cancel measures that were passed by local voters — effectively undermining the rights of voters to decide for themselves what their communities need.
• It would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures, where voters provide direction to politicians on how they want their local tax dollars spent.

Fiscal and Program Effects of
Initiative 21-0042A1 on Local Governments
If Initiative 21-0042A1 is placed on the ballot and passed by voters, it will result in:
Billions of local government fee and charge revenues placed at heightened legal peril. Related public service reductions across virtually every aspect of city, county, special district, and school services especially for transportation, and public facility use. Hundreds of millions of dollars of annual revenues from dozens of tax and bond measures approved by voters between January 1, 2022 and November 9, 2022 subject to additional voter approval if not in compliance with the initiative.
Indeterminable legal and administrative burdens and costs on local government from new and more empowered legal challenges, and bureaucratic cost tracking requirements. The delay and deterrence of municipal annexations and associated impacts on housing and commercial development.
Service and infrastructure impacts including in fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, drinking water, sewer sanitation, parks, libraries, public schools, affordable housing, homelessness prevention and mental health services.
1. Local Government Taxes and Services Threatened
With regard to taxes, Initiative 21-0042A1:
Prohibits advisory, non-binding measures as to use of tax proceeds on the same ballot. o Voters may be less informed and more likely to vote against measures. Eliminates the ability of special tax measures proposed by citizen initiative to be enacted by majority voter approval (Upland).
o Because the case law regarding citizen initiative special taxes approved by majority vote (Upland) is so recent, it is unknown how common these sorts of measures might be in the future. This initiative would prohibit such measures after the effective date of the initiative. Any such measures adopted after January 1, 2022 through November 8, 2022 would be void after November 9, 2023.
Requires that tax measures include a specific duration of time that the tax will be imposed. This seems to require that all tax increases or extensions contain a sunset (end date). o This would require additional tax measures to extend previously approved taxes at additional cost to taxpayers.
Requires that a tax or bond measure adopted after January 1, 2022 and before the effective date of the initiative (November 9, 2022) that was not adopted in accordance with the measure be readopted in compliance with the measure or will be void twelve months after the effective date of the initiative (November 9, 2023).
o If past election patterns are an indication, dozens of tax and bond measures approving hundreds of millions of annual revenues may not be in compliance and would be subject to reenactment.
Most will be taxes without a specific end date. Because there is no regularly scheduled election within the 12 months following the effective date of the initiative, measures not in compliance would need to be placed on a special election ballot for approval before November 9, 2023 or the tax will be void after that date. General tax measures would require declaration of emergency and unanimous vote of the governing board.

Requires voter approval to expand an existing tax to new territory (annexations). This would require additional tax measures and would deter annexations and land development in cities. o If a tax is "extended" to an annexed area without a vote after January 1, 2022, it will be void 12 months later until brought into compliance. Because there is no regularly scheduled election within the 12 months following the effective date of the initiative, such extensions for general taxes would, under current law, each require unanimous vote of the agency board to be placed on a special election ballot or would be void after November 9, 2023.
1.a. Number of Measures and Value of Local Taxes at Risk1 In 2020, voters in California approved 293 local tax and bond measures for cities, counties, special districts and schools (95 in March and 198 in November). The approved measures enacted $3.85 billion in new annual taxes including $1.3 billion for cities, $302 million for counties, $208 million for special districts (fire, wastewater, open space and transit districts), and $2.037 billion for schools (including for school bonds).
Most tax measures go to the ballot during a presidential or gubernatorial primary or general election in an even year. However, some tax measures are decided at other times. During 2019, there were 45 approved tax and bond measures (24 city, 14 special district, 7 school) adopting $154.0 million in new annual taxes ($124.0 million city, $10.5 million special district and $19.2 million school).
Most tax and bond measures comply with the new rules in Initiative 21-0042Amdt#1 except:
Dozens of taxes would require end dates. This would require additional measures in future years to extend the taxes further. Very few extensions of existing local taxes fail. Majority vote general tax measures could not be accompanied on the same ballot with an advisory, non-binding measure as to use of tax proceeds. Special taxes placed on the ballot via citizen initiative would require two-thirds voter approval.
Bond measures have fixed terms. Historically, about 20 percent of other tax measures have included specific durations (i.e. sunsets). Advisory measures as to use of revenues are uncommon. I do not expect the provisions of 21-0042A1 to have any substantial effect on passage rates. However, some 2022 approved measures would likely have to put back on the ballot.
Based on history, a reasonable estimate of the annualized tax revenues estimated to be approved by 1 Source: Compilation and summary of data from County elections offices.

voters in 2022 and placed at risk by this initiative is at least $1.5 billion, including $1.0 billion from cities and $500 million from counties and special districts. 2 1.b. Additional Costs and Public Service Effects of the Tax Provisions In addition to service delays and disruption due to new tax revenues placed at greater legal risk, there will be substantial additional costs for legal defense. The deterrence of taxes for annexations will delay and deter municipal annexations.
2. “Exempt Charges” (fees and charges that are not taxes) and Services Threatened With regard to fees and charges adopted after January 1, 2022, Initiative 21-0042A1:
Subjects new fees and charges for a product or service to a new "actual cost” test defined as “(i) the minimum amount necessary to reimburse the government for the cost of providing the service to the payor, and (ii) where the amount charged is not used by the government for any purpose other than reimbursing that cost. In addition, subjects these same charges to a new, undefined, “reasonable” standard.
Subjects fees and charges for entrance to local government property; and rental and sale of local government property to a new, undefined, “reasonable” test. Subjects a challenged fee or charge to new, higher burdens of proof if legally challenged. Prohibits a levy, charge or exaction regulating or related to vehicle miles traveled, imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.
2.a. Value on New Local Government Fees and Charges at Risk3 Virtually every city, county, and special district must regularly (e.g., annually) adopt increases to fee rates and charges and revise rate schedules to accommodate new users and activities. Most of these would be subject to new standards and limitations under threat of legal challenge. Based on the current volume of fees and charges imposed by local agencies and increases in those fees simply to accommodate inflation, the amount of local government fee and charge revenue placed at risk is about $1 billion per year including those adopted since January 1, 2022. Of this $1 billion, about $570 million is for special districts, $450 million is cities, and $260 million is counties.4
Major examples of affected fees and charges are:
1. Nuisance abatement charges - such as for weed, rubbish and general nuisance abatement to fund community safety, code enforcement, and neighborhood cleanup programs.
2. Commercial franchise fees.
3. Emergency response fees - such as in connection with DUI.
4. Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport charges.
5. Document processing and duplication fees.
6. Transit fees, tolls, parking fees, public airport and harbor use fees.
7. Facility use charges, fees for parks and recreation services, garbage disposal tipping fees.
In addition to fees and charges, the measure puts fines and penalties assessed for the violation of state and 2 This does not include citizen initiative special tax approved by majority but not two-thirds. Because this approach is new, the number of these measures and amount of revenue involved cannot be estimated. 3 Source: California State Controller Annual Reports of Financial Transactions concerning cities, counties and special districts, summarized with an assumed growth due to fee rate increases (not population) of 2 percent annually. 4 School fees are also affected but the amount is negligible by comparison.

local law at risk, making them taxes subject to voter approval under certain circumstances.
2.b. Additional Costs and Public Service Effects of the Fee/Charge Provisions In addition to service delays and disruptions due to fee and charge revenues placed at greater legal risk, there would be substantial additional costs for legal defense. The risk to fees and charges will make infrastructure financing more difficult and will deter new residential and commercial development. ***********

Agenda Item #4.5:
The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative No. 21-0042A1
January 21, 2022
Summary: The measure limits the voters’ input, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold state and local law violators accountable.
Limiting Voter Authority and Accountability
• Limits voter input. Prohibits local voters from providing direction on how local tax dollars should be spent by prohibiting local advisory measures. • Invalidates Upland decision that allows majority of local voters to pass special taxes. Taxes proposed by the Initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. All measures passed between January 2022 and November 2022 would be invalidated unless reenacted within 12 months.
Restricting Local Fee Authority to Provide Local Services • Franchise fees. Sets new standard for fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property. The standard may significantly restrict the amount oil companies, utilities, gas companies, railroads, garbage companies, cable companies, and other corporations pay for the use of local public property. Rental and sale of local government property must be “reasonable” which must be proved by “clear and convincing evidence.”
• Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” The burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed “actual cost” is changed to “clear and convincing” evidence.
Restricting Authority of State and Local Governments to Issue Fines and Penalties for Violations of Law.
• Requires voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties.
Agenda Item #4.5:
Restricting Local Tax Authority to Provide Local Services • Expanding existing taxes (e.g., UUT, use tax, TOT) to new territory (e.g., annexation) or expanding the base (e.g., new utility service) requires voter approval.
• City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee. • New taxes can be imposed only for a specific time period. • Taxes adopted after January 1, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted.
• All state taxes require majority voter approval.
• Prohibits any surcharge on property tax rate and allocation of property tax to state.
Other Changes
• No fee or charge or exaction regulating vehicle miles traveled can be imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.

Approve Returning to Hybrid Council Meetings Beginning March 2, 2022 Summary
In response to the surge in COVID-19 cases, on January 6, 2022 the City Council adopted Resolution #01-2022 authorizing remote teleconferencing meetings pursuant to AB 361. This adoption was with the understanding that the findings memorialized in that resolution would have to be made every 30 days. It was also the desire of the Council to be able to return to hybrid style meetings as soon as feasible and safe to do so.
At the February 2nd Council meeting to renew the AB 361 findings, staff indicated that it would be prudent to continue meeting remotely and re-evaluate meeting remotely at the February 16th Council meeting. Given the dramatic declining trend in new COVID-19 cases (see the table below), we recommend the Council return to hybrid style meetings beginning with the March 2, 2022 meeting. This would apply to all City Commissions, Committees and Boards beginning in March, unless otherwise directed by the Council.
Recommended Council Action
Approve returning to hybrid meetings for all City Council, Commission, and Boards.
Alternative Actions
Council discretion to continue to conduct virtual meetings.

Receive Update Report from Sonoma Overnight Support (SOS) and City Staff on the Status of Finding a Temporary or Permanent New Location for the Safe Parking Program and Provide Direction to Staff, as Appropriate
Summary
Background
In November 2019, the City approved a new MOU with SOS to operate an updated version of the Safe Parking Program (Program) in the Police Department parking lot at 175 First Street West. The Program would include up to 10 total parking spaces that would be available on a permit basis between the hours of 10:00 PM to 9:00 AM. SOS would require participants to adhere to a set of Rules and Guidelines. Participants who violate the Rules and Guidelines could be permanently exited from the Program and risk losing access to the day services provided at The Haven. SOS would hire a security service to patrol the Safe Parking lot overnight with three to four drive through visits per night in addition to some monitoring by Police. SOS has recently modified the security service to have a person on-site during the evening hours. The MOU was slated to expire December 1, 2021.
On December 1, 2021, the Council extended the MOU with SOS until April 1, 2022. At the meeting, the Council had a lengthy discussion regarding the compatibility of the Safe Parking Program with the uses of the Field of Dreams. SOS reported it was trying to find a new location for SOS services including the Haven and Safe Parking Program but was unsuccessful in finding a location due to a variety of reasons. As a part of its approval, the Council requested a status update on SOS and City efforts to find alternative locations for the Safe Parking Program as well as an update on the progress of HAS (Homeless Action Sonoma) regarding its winter shelter efforts.
On February 2nd meeting, the Council received a report from City staff and SOS’s on its efforts to find an alternate location. At the meeting, SOS and/or City staff indicated we reached out to all its community partners including churches regarding an interim location for the Safe Parking Program.
Staff also reached out to the County of Sonoma regarding the use of the Veteran’s Building parking lot. The County Department of General Services indicates the program would conflict with the Veteran Building uses and regulations. In general, the non-profits including churches indicate that the Safe Parking Program is generally incompatible with their daily operations, would affect the parking needs of its operations, and/or they don’t have the facilities to meet the program’s needs.
The Safe Parking Program requires at a minimum restroom facilities/water, security, and an intake system and access to the operator’s services. The parking lot by the police station provides that plus access to the Haven which has SOS support staff on-site, showers, and laundry facilities during the day. SOS’s food service is located at the Sonoma Springs Community Hall. SOS believes if we relocate to less a desirable location that is significantly further away from the Haven and the Springs, people will be less likely to participant in the Safe Parking Program and will begin to park anywhere Agenda Item #6.1:
including in the parking lot near the Haven. The Safe Parking Program in its current location allows the City to limit participants and better control the area.
Staff has evaluated existing City facilities such as parks and the City’s corporation yard. All the City parks are in residential neighborhoods, and, thus, the Safe Parking Program would face the same incompatible use issues as cited for the Field of Dreams. The City’s corporation yard is located outside of the City limits on Eighth Street East and would be too far from any SOS services. SOS states it would not operate a Safe Parking Program at that location. It should be noted that Fire also does not have any surplus facilities available for use. The difficulty is that for an interim/temporary location to work for the Safe Parking Program it needs to have similar services that SOS provides on-site at the Haven.
Staff also spoke to HAS regarding the concept of locating the Safe Parking Program on their site.
Unfortunately, HAS indicated there is no room on their site for the Safe Parking Program. HAS did provide that they are in the process of applying for building permits from the County. When the permits are issued, HAS is are prepared to get the QuickHaven shelters and other temporary services onto the property for a winter shelter in short order.
Discussion
At the February 2nd meeting, the Council requested staff to: 1) further explore the concept of moving the Safe Parking Program to the City’s Corporation Yard including the costs for moving the Haven building, 2) continue to work with SOS to find alternate locations for the Safe Parking Program, 3) request County General Services to reconsider the restrictions on the use of the Veteran Hall parking lot and 4) provide an update at this meeting.
Staff explored two concepts for operating a Safe Parking Program at the City’s Corporation Yard (Corp. Yard): 1) move the existing Haven building to the Corp. Yard and 2) rent restroom, shower, and laundry trailers at the Corp. Yard. The objective was to move or provide shower/laundry services closer to the Safe Parking Program. Both proposals have very significant initial capital costs. Neither estimate includes the cost to operate the Safe Parking Program.
Haven Building
Attached is memo from the Development Services Director with initial rough cost estimates for moving the Haven Building and relocating it to the Corp. Yard. The building consists of 3 modular units set on a foundation and is approximately 1,600 sf not including porches, stairways, and ramps. The rough estimate is approx. $793,000 to relocate the existing building which includes any repairs/remodeling to make it serviceable and ADA compliant, new foundation, and sewer, water, and PGE hook-ups. Please note the existing Corp. Yard septic system would likely need to be expanded to accommodate the new structure. Additional alternate improvements are proposed to improve the facility at a rough estimate of approximately $77,000. The total approximate rough cost range: $793,000 -$870,000.
The building is much larger than needed if its primary purpose is only to provide restroom, laundry, and shower facilities for the Safe Parking Program. Also, if this location for the Safe Parking Program is intended to be temporary you probably will not want to install a permanent structure. To minimize any adverse operational impacts to Public Works from a circulation, liability and safety perspective, the building would need to be place in a location where we could move the Corp. Yard fence and still maintain a vehicle gate. It is unclear if we would be able to meet that criterion.
Agenda Item #6.1:
It should be noted that the parking spaces for the Safe Parking Program would be located in the same general location as shown on the map for the “rental of trailers” concept.
Rent bathroom, showers, and laundry trailers
Rather than permanently moving the Haven, Public Works staff explored the concept of renting trailers to provide the shower, laundry, and restroom facilities for the Safe Parking Program.
Attached is site map and costs estimates prepared by Public Works. The proposed area would be located outside of the Corp. Yard by moving the existing fence. The rough cost estimate for preparing the site for the trailers including ADA requirements, PG&E and water hook-ups is approximately $247,000. The cost to rent one shower/restroom and one laundry trailer is approximately $19,000/month, which includes 7-day service for emptying the waste tanks. As stated above, the existing Corp Yard septic system would probably need to be expanded to accommodate the wastewater from the trailers. If the trailers are pumped out every other day that could reduce costs by $4,000 to $5,000/month.
Veteran’s Hall
Staff has contacted the Sonoma County Director of Transportation and Public Works, which now includes General Services, regarding the possibility of using a portion of the parking lot for the Safe Parking Program. We hope to have more information at this meeting.
Other Alternate Sites
Staff and SOS will report at the meeting its current efforts to find alternate locations.
Below is a link to the February 2nd staff report and attachments including SOS’s report summarizing its efforts to date to find a permanent new location. https://sonomacity.civicweb.net/document/52068/Receive%20Report%20from%20Sonoma%2 0Overnight%20Support%20(S.pdf?handle=15B123735C35449E9CFBFCD5567EC035 Recommended Council Action
Receive status report and provide direction to staff, as appropriate.
Please note the consideration of the extension of the MOU with SOS to operate a Safe Parking Program is tentatively scheduled for the March 2nd Council meeting.

Public Works Site Map & Cost Estimate for Temporary Trailers Agenda Item #6.1:
1 Memo
DATE: February 7, 2022
TO: City Manager Toy
FROM: Development Services Director / Building Official Wirick CC: Interim Public Works Director Echols
Planning & Community Development Director Storer
SUBJECT: Initial Rough Project Cost Estimate for Moving “The Haven” Modular Building to the City Corp Yard
Per your request, attached is an Initial Rough Project Cost Estimate for Relocating “The Haven” modular building currently located at 151 First Street West, to the City Corp Yard at 19990 Eighth Street East.
Assumptions related to the project cost estimate include the following:
General
• The subject project would need to comply with public bidding and prevailing wage rate requirements.
• The use of the building would primarily be for day services including a bathroom (with toilet, lavatory and shower), a toilet room (with toilet and lavatory) and a relocated laundry room (with two accessible washers and dryers). The existing residential kitchen would remain, but would not used by clients. All other rooms would remain for storage or office purposes.
Condition of Existing Facility and Maintenance Needed (see existing floor plan below) For the continued use of the existing building, maintenance and general upkeep work is needed.
During a cursory walkthrough in 2019, the following maintenance issues were noted:
• The full bathroom has inadequate moisture and humidity controls. The bathroom exhaust fan does not adequately exhaust moisture from the bathroom and mold was present on the bathroom walls and ceilings. A humidistat should be installed to control the bathroom exhaust fan or the fan should run 24 hours/day. • The patching of walls, removal of mold and repairing of drywall cracks where the modular buildings are joined together is needed.
• Painting of the interior of the building is needed.
• Furnishings (benches, lockers, etc.) have been installed that impede accessibility to persons with disabilities.
• Floor coverings are damaged or missing in many areas and needs replacement.
Agenda Item #6.1:
2 • Gutters need to be cleaned.
• Some smoke alarms have been removed from the building. • Furnace filter is improperly installed.
• Within the next 5-7 years the exterior of the building will need to be painted. • Within the next 3-5 years the HVAC unit will likely need replacement. • Within the next 5-7 years the kitchen and kitchen appliances may need replacement.
Existing Site
• The existing 3-unit modular building currently known as the Haven would be disconnected and transported to a new location at the City’s Corp Yard. • The existing foundation, concrete porches, stairways and ramps would be demolished and removed from the site. Existing utilities would be appropriately capped and/or disconnected.
• The site would be restored to a natural state and winterized with stormwater erosion control measures.
Corp Yard Site
• The building would be relocated onto a newly constructed concrete foundation system at an appropriate location at the City-owned Corporation Yard. [Note: A foundation system is required under state and local building regulations.] • Existing water (including fire sprinkler service) and gas service utilities serving the Corp Yard would be extended to the building and utilized.
• A new electrical service from PG&E would be supplied to the building. [Note: The electrical service to the Corp Yard office is assumed to be inadequate for the relocated building.]
• Repairs and remodeling to the building would occur to make the building serviceable. • Parking for 10 safe parking spaces would be provided along the frontage of the Corp Yard property.
• The existing laundry room does not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or state accessibility regulations and would need to be altered. Additionally, Kathy King with SOS has previously indicated that a minimum of two sets of laundry facilities (e.g. washers and dryers) are needed. The subject project includes the relocation of and expansion of the laundry facilities to include two sets of accessible washers and dryers.
• The existing septic system serving the Corp Yard would likely need expansion to accommodate the proposed structure.
Agenda Item #6.1:
3 Other Considerations
• The Initial Cost Estimate includes several discretionary alternatives that are not necessarily required for the relocation of the building to occur but may be advisable.
They include but are not limited to the following:
o Alternate #1 - Add Bathroom with Shower (within existing footprint - Includes design services)
o Alternate #2 - Parking Area Light Pole installation (Use Existing light pole stored at Corp Yard)
o Alternate #3 - New Fencing & Gates
o Alternate #4 - Security Cameras and Building Security Devices o Alternate #5 - Minor Landscaping
o Alternate #6 - Re-paint Entire Building (Interior & Exterior - add to existing painting costs)
• Given the assumptions made, the use of the subject building would be underutilized.
Because the original design of the building was for transitional residential use, it might be worthwhile to consider utilizing a caretaker that could reside overnight in the building while monitoring the day services along with the safe parking program.

City of Sonoma
Agenda Item Summary
Meeting: City Council - 16 Feb 2022
Department
Administration
Staff Contact
Garrett Toy, City Manager
Agenda Item Title
Discussion, Consideration, and Possible Action Regarding the following CSEC Recommendations: a) Creation of a New Climate Action Committee, b) Revisions to the City’s Special Events Policy, (c) Proposed Restructuring of the Duties of the Tree Committee, (d) Installation of Bike Racks in the Plaza Park, (e) Future Meeting Schedule for the CSEC, and (f) Retention of Existing Plaza Park Policies (e.g., No Dogs Allowed); and Provide Direction to Staff on these Recommendations, as Appropriate
Summary
On September 10, 2021, the City Council conducted its annual retreat to discuss, among other things, the roles and responsibility of City Commissions and Committees including the Community Services and Environment Commission (CSEC). At the retreat, the Council directed staff to schedule a joint meeting with the CSEC to discuss, among other things, the role and responsibility of the CSEC. A meeting was scheduled for October 13, but due to a lack of quorum of CSEC members, the meeting was canceled.
On January 12, 2022, the joint CSEC/City Council meeting was held to discuss the current and future role and responsibilities of the CSEC. Based on the discussions of the joint meeting, the City Council directed the CSEC to further discuss matters and make recommendations to the City Council, as needed.
At its February 9, 2022, meeting, the CSEC discussed the topics below and made recommendations to the Council. For each CSEC recommendation, staff is seeking direction from the Council as to whether it would like to discuss/consider the specific CSEC recommendation at a future Council meeting. Some items below such as “e” and “f” require no Council action.
a) Create a new Climate Action Committee for the Climate Action Plan Currently, the Joint Climate Action Subcommittee (JCAS), which is composed of two Councilmembers and two CSEC members, is responsible for the development of a Climate Action Plan and recommendations regarding relevant subjects as the City’s Sustainability and Climate Action workplan.
The CSEC voted unanimously to recommend the Council create a new Climate Action Committee (CAC) to assume the responsibilities of the JCAS. The CSEC also recommends the CAC be given some level of budget authority to implement to Climate Action Plan. The CSEC recommends the formation of a new 7-person committee with the following representation and requirements:
• One City Council member
• One CSEC commissioner
• 5 other members representing a combination of the following interests:
Agenda Item #6.2:
o Transportation
o Youth
o Latinx
o Business owner/local economy
o Senior
o Environmental Justice/Equity
o Climate Action/Change background
o General at-large community member
• Four of the 5 members should be residents
• A member could represent more than one of the above interest categories • The interest areas are desired by the CSEC but would not be required.
If the Council would like to discuss/consider the creation of a CAC or other options, staff would return to the Council with a resolution creating the CAC and the proposed appointment process.
b) Keep the current Special Events Policies with two revisions The City Council adopted its Special Events Policy on September 5, 2018. In addition to a variety of relevant items, the Special Events Policy defines special events, details the application process, and specifies the CSEC’s role in reviewing and approving special events. The current Special Events Policy allows for conditions to be placed on permits by the Special Event Committee and the Special Events Manager. The policy does not explicitly allow conditions to be placed on a Special Events application by the CSEC.
The CSEC may, of course, recommend conditions to the Special Events Manager.
The CSEC recommends retaining the current Special Event Policy with two revisions.
The CSEC recommends the Council add a provision that event organizers allow the City (e.g., CAC volunteers), if it so desires, to survey attendees to evaluate the impact on greenhouse gases, at no cost to the event organizers. The idea was that volunteers could survey attendees to determine where they came from or maybe signage would be placed at the event with a QR code that attendees could scan and fill out a brief on-line survey.
Staff also noted that the Special Events Policy will be updated to incorporate the waste minimization and the applicable mandatory organics segregation requirements to comply with the City’s recently adopted Ordinance to Prohibit the Use and Sale of Disposable Food Service Ware and Other Products Containing Polystyrene Foam (April 2021) and Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction ordinance (December 2021).
If the Council would like to discuss/consider these two policy revisions or other revisions, staff would return to the Council with a resolution to revise the policy. c) Restructure the Tree Committee to eliminate review of development applications The Tree Committee (TC) consist of two members of the CSEC, and one certified arborist appointed by the chairperson of the CSEC. The TC reviews development applications regarding the potential impacts of the proposed development to existing trees on or adjacent to a project site and recommends to the Planning Commission (PC) or DRHPC mitigation measure for the identified impacts. It also reviews proposals for tree removal from homeowners.
Agenda Item #6.2:
In 2021, the Tree Committee reviewed 4 arborist reports for development applications, 35 homeowner Tree Removal applications, and met 6 times. It is important to note that SB-330 prevents jurisdictions from conducting more than five public hearings in connection with the approval of a housing development project and that is the reason for recommending having the DRHPC or Planning Commission review arborist reports, to limit the number of public hearings.
CSEC determined that it is important to have a public body such as the Tree Committee to review homeowner applications. However, CSEC recognizes the impacts of SB 330 and recommends the review of development applications be eliminated from the Tree Committee’s responsibility. The PC or DRHPC would continue to make decisions as they did before (with the relevant arborist reports), except without a recommendation from the Tree Committee.
If the Council would like to discuss/consider this revision or others, staff would return to the Council with an ordinance to amend specific sections of City Municipal Code Chapter 12.08 Tree Ordinance.
d) Install Bike Racks in the Plaza Park
The CSEC recommends the Council reconsider the installation of inverted-U bike racks per the 2018 plan without using concrete pads bike. The Council considered the plan in January 2018 but rejected it because of the concrete pads.
If the Council would like to discuss/consider the installation of bike racks, staff would return with the attached Sonoma Plaza North West Section Bicycle Parking Concept Plan for consideration at a future meeting.
e) Quarterly CSEC Meeting Schedule for 2022
Per City Code (SMC 2.40.020), the CSEC is to meet quarterly unless approved by the City Council. The CSEC meeting scheduled evolved into monthly meetings and now it is alternating meetings (the 2nd Wednesday of each month) with the Joint Climate Action Subcommittee. (The JCAS is also supposed to meet quarterly but has also evolved into meeting more frequently.)
The CSEC recommends they return to conducting quarterly regular meeting. It should be noted that the CSEC may need to hold special meetings to consider matters on a timely basis.
No action is needed from the Council.
f) Retain existing Plaza Park Policies such as “No Dogs Allowed” CSEC recommends no further discussion or changes to current Plaza Park policies such as “no dogs allowed.” The CSEC does recommend better “no dogs” signage, consideration of options for better enforcement, and exploration of other opportunities for dogs and their owners in another City location.
No action is needed by the Council. Staff will work with the CSEC to develop better signage plans. Regarding better enforcement options and other opportunities for dogs Agenda Item #6.2:
and their owners, staff would suggest the budget and CIP approval process would be the appropriate forum to discuss/consider these matters.

Agenda Item Title
Approve the Construction of Additional Bicycle Parking in the Sonoma Plaza as Described in the Sonoma Plaza North West Section Bicycle Parking Concept Summary
Bicycle parking in the Plaza can be found at several locations as shown on the attached Plaza Bike Parking Map, including the “hitching post” across from the Barracks and Toscano Hotel, the bike parking sculpture along the horseshoe driveway in front of City Hall, and bike bollards at several locations. While creative, these bicycle parking features are not readily visible from the edges of the Plaza and are not easily recognized as facilities for bicycle parking. Plaza Bike Racks are included as a high priority in the Proposed Bikeways, Pedestrian Projects and Project Priorities in the City of Sonoma Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan that was adopted in September 2008 and updated in May 2014. Benefits listed in the Master Plan include theft protection, convenience, and encourages bicycle use. • The Community Services and Environment Commission (CSEC) recommended the addition of bicycle parking to the Plaza that will be easily recognized and visible from the edges of the Plaza. At their meeting of June 14, 2017, the CSEC recommend that the City Council approved the installation of a bicycle hitching post/rail with perforated paving stones in the center location identified by City Staff along First Street West. In the Fiscal Year 2017/18 budget, the City Council approved $5,000 for construction of additional bicycle parking in the Plaza. The additional parking is proposed to be constructed by City Public Works crews with assistance from private contractor concrete finishers. With the funding provided, City staff reviewed professional standards and best practices for bike parking.
• Essentials of Bike Parking by the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (attached) was used as a reference for selection and installation of additional bicycle parking in the Plaza. Essentials of Bike Parking notes that bike parking may go unused if it’s not more appealing to users than the nearest sign post. A minor mistake in installation may make a quality rack unusable. Short-term parking is designed to meet the needs of people visiting businesses and institutions and others with similar needs – typically lasting up to two hours. Short-term users may be infrequent visitors to a location, so the parking installation needs to be readily visible and selfexplanatory. Effective bike parking for short-term users depends on two main factors:
1) proximity to the destination, and 2) ease of use. The proposed location and configuration for the additional bicycle parking is shown on the attached Sonoma Plaza North West Section Bicycle Parking Concept. The location is readily visible from First Street West. It is conveniently located near a crosswalk across First Street West and is outside of pedestrian paths of travel. As recommended, the proposed additional Plaza Bicycle Parking:
• Is visible to the public, self-explanatory and intuitive to use; • Includes a sturdy concrete pad, an ideal surface for installing bicycle parking; Agenda Item #6.2:
• Supports bikes upright without putting stress on wheels; • Provides two points of contact with the bicycle frame; • Accommodates a variety of bicycles and attachments;
• Allows locking of a frame and at least one wheel with a U-lock; • Provides well-anchored security, durability, and low maintenance in galvanized steel; • Follows recommended clearances for comfortable use of bike racks without impact to pedestrians on the sidewalk; and
• Provides additional parking for eight bicycles (two per rack). • The proposed bicycle parking follows the recommendations of bicycle professionals for selecting and installing bike parking that works. The proposed bicycle parking differs from the CSEC recommendation of June 14, 2017, in that it is not a hitching post/rail with perforated paving stones. Although the recommended bicycle parking concept differs from the details in the CSEC recommendation to the City Council, it meets the CSEC’s desire for bike parking in the Plaza to be easily recognized and visible from the edges of the Plaza. The proposed bicycle parking concept was described to the CSEC during the staff comments item at their January 10, 2018 meeting. The CSEC did not object to the proposed bicycle parking concept. • City staff has found this small project to be categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
Recommended Council Action
It is recommended the City Council approve construction of additional bicycle parking in the Sonoma Plaza as described in the Sonoma Plaza North West Section Bicycle Parking Concept.
Alternative Actions
City Council discretion.
Financial Impact
The cost of additional Plaza bicycle parking is included in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 Public Works Parks Division budget (100-43020).

Agenda Item #6.2:
Among the necessary supports for bicycle transportation, bike parking stands out for being both vital and easy. Still, it requires some attention to get it right. Bike parking may go unused if it’s not more appealing to users than the nearest sign post. A minor mistake in installation can make a quality rack unusable. The variety of bicycle sizes, shapes, and attachments continues to increase, and good bike parking should accommodate all types.
The Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) prepared this guide for people planning to purchase or install bike parking fixtures on a limited scale. It is a brief overview of APBP’s comprehensive Bicycle Parking Guidelines handbook, available at www.apbp.org.
This guide divides bike parking into short-term and long-term installations. These two kinds of parking serve different needs, and the starting point for most bike parking projects is recognizing whether the installation should serve short-term users, long-term users, or both. If users will typically be parking for two hours or longer, they are likely to value security and shelter above the convenience and ease that should characterize short-term parking.

1 Agenda Item #6.2:
SITE PLANNING
Location
Short-term bike parking should be visible from and close to the entrance it serves—50’ or less is a good benchmark. Weather-protected parking makes bicycle transportation more viable for daily and year-round use, and it can reduce the motivation for users to bring wet bicycles into buildings. Area lighting is important for any location likely to see use outside of daylight hours.
Security
All racks must be sturdy and well-anchored, but location determines the security of short-term parking as much as any other factor. Users seek out parking that is visible to the public, and they particularly value racks that can be seen from within the destination. Areas with high incidence of bicycle theft may justify specific security features such as specialty racks, tamper-proof mounting techniques, or active surveillance.
Quantity
Many jurisdictions have ordinances governing bike parking quantity. APBP’s full Bicycle Parking Guidelines offers complete recommendations for the amount and type of parking required in various contexts. In the absence of requirements, it’s okay to start small—but bear in mind that perceived demand may be lower than the demand that develops once quality parking appears.
BIKE CORRALS
Some cities with limited sidewalk space and strong bicycle activity place bike parking in on-street “bike corrals” located in the street area adjacent to the curb.
Bike corrals can sometimes make use of on-street areas that are unsuitable for auto parking. When replacing a single auto parking space, a corral can generally fit 8 to 12 bicycles. APBP’s full Bicycle Parking Guidelines provides details about designing and siting bike corrals.

SHORT-TERM PARKING
Effective bike parking for short-term
users depends on two main factors:
1) proximity to the destination and
2) ease of use.
Short-term parking is designed to
meet the needs of people visiting
businesses and institutions, and
others with similar needs—typically
lasting up to two hours. Short-term
users may be infrequent visitors to a
location, so the parking installation
needs to be readily visible and
self-explanatory.

SHORT-TERM PARKING
Agenda Item #6.2:
SITE PLANNING
Location
Appropriate locations for long-term parking vary with context. Long-term parking users are typically willing to trade a degree of convenience for weather protection and increased security. Long-term installations emphasize physical security above public visibility. Signage may be needed for first-time users.
Security
Security is paramount for quality long-term parking. Access to parked bicycles can be limited individually (as with lockers) or in groups (as with locked bike rooms or other secure enclosures). Options for access control include usersupplied locks, keys, smart cards, and other technologies.
Quantity
Refer to local ordinances or the comprehensive APBP Bicycle Parking Guidelines to determine the amount and type of parking required for various contexts.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
FOR LONG-TERM PARKING
In many ways, short-term and long-term parking function similarly and are served by the same guidelines. Some exceptions are noted below.
Density
The competition of uses for high-security and sheltered locations creates particular pressure on long-term parking to fit more bicycles in less space.
When parking needs cannot be met with standard racks and spacing recommended in this guide, consider rack systems designed to increase parking density. See the high-density racks table on page 7. Note that increasing density without careful attention to user needs can create parking that excludes people because of age, ability, or bicycle type. This may result in people parking bicycles in other less desirable places or choosing not to bike at all.
Bicycle design variety
Long-term parking facilities should anticipate the presence of a variety of bicycles and accessories, including—depending on context—recumbents, trailers, children’s bikes, long-tails, and others. To accommodate trailers and long bikes, a portion of the racks should be on the ground and should have an additional 36” of in-line clearance.
Performance criteria
The bike rack criteria in the next section apply to racks used in any installation, regardless of its purpose. Long-term installations often use lockers and group enclosures not discussed in this guide. Such equipment raises additional considerations that are discussed in detail in APBP’s full Bicycle Parking Guidelines.

LONG-TERM PARKING
Users of long-term parking generally
place high value on security and weather
protection. Long-term parking is designed
to meet the needs of employees,
residents, public transit users, and others
with similar needs. These users typically
park either at home or at a routine
destination such as a workplace. They
often leave their bicycles unmonitored
for a period of several hours or longer,
so they require security and weather
protection that let them park without
unreasonable concern for loss
or damage.
Long-term parking can take a variety
of forms, including a room within a
residential building or workplace, a
secure enclosure within a parking garage,
or a cluster of bike lockers at a transit
center. Some long-term parking is open
to the public—such as a staffed secure
enclosure at a transit hub—and some of it
is on private property with access limited
to employees, residents, or other defined
user groups.

Agenda Item #6.2:
FASTENERS
CONCRETE SPIKE Installs quickly in concrete with a
hammer. Tamper-resistant. Removal
may damage concrete and/or rack.
CONCRETE
WEDGE ANCHOR
Allows for rack removal as needed.
Not tamper-resistant, but can
accommodate security nuts (below).
SECURITY NUTS Use with concrete wedge anchors.
Security nuts prevent removal with
common hand tools.
INSTALLATION SURFACE
A sturdy concrete pad is an ideal surface for installing bicycle parking.
Other surfaces often encountered include asphalt, pavers, and soft surfaces such as earth or mulch. These surfaces can accommodate in-ground mounting or freestanding bike racks such as inverted-U racks mounted to rails.
See APBP’s Bicycle Parking Guidelines for details.
INSTALLATION FASTENERS
When installing racks on existing concrete, consider the location and select appropriate fasteners. Drill any holes at least three inches from concrete edges or joints. Some locations benefit from security fasteners such as concrete spikes or tamper-resistant nuts on wedge anchors. Asphalt is too soft to hold wedge and spike anchors designed for use in concrete. Installing bike parking on asphalt typically requires freestanding racks and anchor techniques specific to asphalt.
Selecting an appropriate installation
surface and technique is key to
creating bicycle parking that remains
secure and attractive over time.
4 INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES
When installing racks on existing concrete, choose those with a surfacemount flange and install with a hammer drill according to the specifications of the mounting hardware selected. When pouring a new concrete pad, consider bike parking fixtures designed to be embedded in the concrete. Because replacing or modifying an embedded rack is complicated and costly, this installation technique requires particular attention to location, spacing, rack quantity, and material.
Agenda Item #6.2:
CRITERIA DETAILS
Supports bike upright without
putting stress on wheels
The rack should provide two points of contact with the frame—at least 6” apart horizontally. Or, if a rack cradles a bicycle’s wheel, it must also support the frame securely at one point or more. The rack’s high point should be at least 32”.
Accommodates a variety of
bicycles and attachments
The racks recommended on page 6 (“racks for all applications”) serve nearly all common bike styles and attachments—if installed with proper clearances (see placement section). Avoid designs and spacing that restrict the length, height, or width of bicycles, attachments, or wheels.
Allows locking of frame and at
least one wheel with a U-lock
A closed loop of the rack should allow a single U-lock to capture one wheel and a closed section of the bike frame. Rack tubes with a cross section larger than 2” can complicate the use of smaller U-locks.
Provides security and
longevity features appropriate
for the intended location
Steel and stainless steel are common and appropriate materials for most generaluse racks. Use tamper-resistant mounting hardware in vulnerable locations.
Rack finish must be appropriate to the location (see materials and coatings section).
Rack use is intuitive First-time users should recognize the rack as bicycle parking and should be able to use it as intended without the need for written instructions.
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA These criteria apply to any rack for short- or long-term use.
FOR BIKE PARKING RACKS
5 BICYCLE RACK
SELECTION
Agenda Item #6.2:
RACK STYLES The majority of manufactured bike racks fall into one of the categories on pages 6-8.
Within a given style, there is wide variation among specific racks, resulting in inconsistent usability and durability. APBP recommends testing a rack before committing broadly to it.
INVERTED U
also called
staple, loop
POST & RING
WHEELwellsecure
Common style appropriate for many uses; two points
of ground contact. Can be installed in series on rails to create a free-standing parking area in variable quantities.
Available in many variations.
Common style appropriate for many uses; one point of
ground contact. Compared to inverted-U racks, these are less prone to unintended perpendicular parking. Products exist for converting unused parking meter posts.
Includes an element that cradles one wheel. Design and
performance vary by manufacturer; typically contains
bikes well, which is desirable for long-term parking and in large-scale installations (e.g. campus); accommodates fewer bicycle types and attachments than the two
styles above.
RACKS FOR ALL
APPLICATIONS
When properly designed and installed, these rack
styles typically meet all performance criteria and are
appropriate for use in nearly any application.
6 BICYCLE RACK SELECTION
Agenda Item #6.2:
High-density rack systems can maximize the use of limited parking space, but they don’t work for all users or bicycles.
If installing these racks, reserve additional parking that accommodates bicycles with both wheels on the ground for users who are not able to lift a bicycle or operate a two-tier rack, or for bikes that are not compatible with two-tier or vertical racks. staggered
wheelwellsecure
vertical
two-tier
Variation of the wheelwell-secure rack designed to
stagger handlebars vertically or horizontally to increase parking density. Reduces usability and limits kinds of bikes accommodated, but contains bikes well and aids in fitting more parking in constrained spaces.
Typically used for high-density indoor parking. Not
accessible to all users or all bikes, but can be used in combination with on-ground parking to increase overall
parking density. Creates safety concerns not inherent to on-ground parking.
Typically used for high-density indoor parking.
Performance varies widely. Models for public use include lift assist for upper-tier parking. Recommend testing
before purchasing. Creates safety concerns not inherent to on-ground parking, and requires maintenance for
moving parts.
These rack styles do not meet all performance criteria
but may be appropriate in certain constrained situations.
HIGH-DENSITY RACKS
7 This guide analyzes the most common styles of bike racks, but it is not exhaustive. Use the performance criteria on page 5 to evaluate rack styles not mentioned. Custom and artistic racks can contribute to site identity and appearance, but take care that such racks don’t emphasize appearance over function or durability.
BICYCLE RACK SELECTION
Agenda Item #6.2:
BOLLARD This style typically does not appropriately support a bike’s frame at two separate locations.
SPIRAL
SWING ARM
SECURED
Despite possible aesthetic appeal, spiral racks have
functional downsides related to access, real-world use, and the need to lift a wheel to park.
These racks are intended to capture a bike’s frame
and both wheels with a pivoting arm. In practice, they
accommodate only limited bike types and have moving
parts that create unneeded complications.
Wave
also called undulating
or serpentine
coathanger
wheelwell
Not intuitive or user-friendly; real-world use of this style often falls short of expectations; supports bike frame at only one location when used as intended.
This style has a top bar that limits the types of bikes it can accommodate.
Racks that cradle bicycles with only a wheelwell do not provide suitable security, pose a tripping hazard, and can lead to wheel damage.
Because of performance concerns, APBP recommends
selecting other racks instead of these.
RACKS TO AVOID
8 Schoolyard
also called
comb, grid
Does not allow locking of frame and can lead to wheel
damage. Inappropriate for most public uses, but useful
for temporary attended bike storage at events and in
locations with no theft concerns. Sometimes preferred
by recreational riders, who may travel without locks and tend to monitor their bikes while parked.

* When applied to carbon steel, TGIC powder coat should be applied over a zinc-rich primer or galvanization to prevent the spread of rust beneath the surface or at nicks in the finish.
Most bicycle parking racks are made of carbon steel or stainless steel. Carbon steel requires a surface coating to resist rust while appropriate grades of stainless steel need no coating. Not all materials and coatings with the same name perform equally.
Square tubing provides a security advantage as round tubing can be cut quietly with a hand-held pipe cutter. Before purchasing racks, talk to suppliers about your particular conditions and choose a material and coating that suit your needs. The following are common choices, depending on local considerations and preferences.

The following minimum spacing requirements apply to
some common installations of fixtures like inverted-U or post-and-ring racks that park one bicycle roughly centered on each side of the rack. Recommended clearances
are given first, with minimums in parentheses where
appropriate. In areas with tight clearances, consider
wheelwell-secure racks (page 6), which can be placed
closer to walls and constrain the bicycle footprint more reliably than inverted-U and post-and-ring racks.
The footprint of a typical bicycle is approximately 6’ x 2’.
Cargo bikes and bikes with trailers can extend to 10’
or longer.
