City Council Agenda Item
June 7, 2023
Automate License Plate Reader (ALPR)
FLOCK Safety
Purpose:
The Sonoma Police Department is recommending that the City of Sonoma contract with FLOCK Safety to install and maintain 19 fixed position automated license plate readers. Flock Safety is the sole provider of the comprehensive monitoring, processing, and machine vision services that integrate with the Flock Safety Camera.
Flock Safety provides crime-fighting technology (cameras and software) under a service subscription model. Flock Safety’s service is a flat annual fee that include: ALPR camera hardware, hardware maintenance, ALPR software, software updates, unlimited users, 30 days unlimited data storage, LTE connectivity, solar panels, poles, mounting equipment, and monitoring. Flock Safety provides all supplies and equipment under standard operating procedures and complies with all government regulations and workplace safety guidelines. If the Department chooses not to renew the agreement, Flock Safety will remove the cameras.
Summary of ALPR/FLOCK technology:
Flock Safety is the only fully integrated ALPR one-stop solution from the production of the camera to delivery and installation. The camera utilizes motion capture to start and stop recording with machine learning and artificial intelligence, which allows Flock Safety to capture vehicle characteristics without the need for a reflective license plate. The cameras can capture and process 30,000 vehicles per day and capture two (2) lanes of traffic simultaneously with a single camera from a vertical mass powered by solar power. Flock Safety analyzes vehicle license plate, vehicle color, and vehicle make objects (roof rack, unique hub cap, etc.) based on image analytics (not car registration data), which also protects against stolen/removed license plates.
The software transmits alerts for hot plates with the capability of the plate state match, and can set up alerts based on vehicle description without the need for a license plate. The software makes actionable evidence available when needed that is easily searchable by vehicle type, make, model, color, timeframe, partial/full license plate, and object detection. This technology will allow the Sheriff’s Department to more accurately detect and stop the actual vehicle used in a crime, instead of similar looking vehicles. This not only will save law enforcement time in the investigation of criminal activity, but also prevent the unnecessary stops and detentions of motorists who are driving vehicles which may look similar to wanted vehicles, but are truly uninvolved in criminal activity associated with the vehicle.
Agenda Item #6.3:
Flock Safety focuses on objective evidence (vehicles and license plates) by capturing car features (make, model, color, license plate, state of the plate, timestamp). People’s privacy is protected by not using facial recognition technology and not recording any personally identifiable information such as names, addresses, or phone numbers. The Department will own their data and Flock Safety does not sell the data to third parties. The camera footage is stored, secured, and encrypted in AWS Government Cloud and automatically deleted every thirty (30) days on a rolling basis. The camera only takes photos, and there is no live feed. No one monitors the system and it is not used for surveillance purposes.
Impact on Residents and Businesses:
The use of ALPR cameras helps community residents, businesses, and law enforcement work together to eliminate crime, protect privacy, and mitigate bias.
Several of the cameras would be installed within the state highway right-of-way’s within the city.
The California Department of Transportation, commonly known as Caltrans, updated their protocols to allow for the installation of law enforcement ALPR cameras either as an independent or standalone structure; or affixed to their poles, structures or other Caltrans owned facilities adjacent to state highways.
Legal Considerations:
Data collected from the Flock Safety system will not be used for immigration or traffic enforcement. The Flock Safety system is not a facial recognition system, nor does it contain any Personally Identifiable Information (PII). All footage is owned by the City/Police Department, is encrypted and securely stored, and data is only retained by Flock for only 30 days.
The Sonoma Police Department operating under contract with the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office must comply with all policies of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office and ordinances of the City of Sonoma. Attached to this information document is “Policy 430- Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR)”. This policy addresses the administration of data, data collection and retention, operations, accountability, release of ALPR data, and training.
Community Considerations:
The Sonoma Police Department held a community forum for members to email, call, or be present in person to voice any concerns, comments or ask questions about the system and governing laws for the ALPR data. This forum was publicized through normal channels for the Police Department and the City of Sonoma through social media posting (both the police department’s Facebook page, as well as the City of Sonoma Facebook page), it was included in the city’s newsletter, and was posted to the city’s event calendar. The meeting was held on April 19th, 2023 from 5-6 PM at the City of Sonoma’s Emergency Operations Center. Prior to the meeting no emails or phone calls were received from any members of the community related to ALPR technology and the City of Sonoma. Through the Police Department Facebook page, there were no questions or comments made regarding the use or application of ALPR’s. There were no community members that were present at the public forum on April 19th, with the exception of Vice Mayor Gurney and Interim City Manager Linder.
It is the intention of the Police Department to be very transparent with any questions or concerns Agenda Item #6.3:
of the ALPR system from the community and relate those learned to the City Council in consideration of this technology. The Police Department will present this at the May 3rd, City Council meeting and if requested by the City Council will provide responses to any questions posed by the council or public.
Fiscal Considerations:
It is the belief that the types of crimes that the technology will be an effective tool to solve are predominantly property and violent crimes which have historically resulted in the suspects coming from outside the city limits of Sonoma. It is for that reason that the Police Department is looking at 19 cameras at a cost of $3,000 per camera/year. Flock Safety contracts are for periods of 2, 3, or 5 years. A two-year contract appears to be very appropriate to determine the effectiveness and applicability to the City of Sonoma in the detection, investigation, and prevention of crime.
What other Communities in our area have the FLOCK Safety ALPR’s:
City of Healdsburg, Town of Windsor, Napa County, City of Napa, City of Calistoga, City of St.
Helena, areas of Marin County, Solano County, and the City of Vallejo.
There are other cities in Sonoma County that have had and continue to add ALPR technology to their cities, however, they are utilizing another vendor called Vigilant Solutions which was developed for installation in moving vehicles with Infrared camera technology. The alternative systems require the purchase of the cameras and subscription pricing for the retention of the data captured.

Agenda Item #6.3:
NCRIC MISSION
The Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC) is a multi-jurisdiction public safety program created to assist local, state, federal, and tribal public safety agencies and critical infrastructure locations with the collection, analysis, and dissemination of criminal threat information. It is the mission of the NCRIC to protect the citizens of the fifteen Bay Area counties within its area of responsibility from the threat of narcotics trafficking, organized crime, as well as international, domestic, and street terrorismrelated activities through information sharing and technical operations support to public safety personnel.
AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READER (ALPR) TECHNOLOGIES
To support authorized law enforcement and public safety purposes of local, state, federal, and tribal public safety agencies, the NCRIC utilizes Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology, and supporting software, to gather and analyze ALPR data to enable the rapid identification and location of vehicles of legitimate interest to law enforcement. ALPR units are attached to law enforcement vehicles or deployed at fixed locations, where they collect license plate information from vehicles on public roadways and public property. In one common use of ALPR technology, license plate encounters are compared against law enforcement ”hotlists“, lists of vehicles associated with active investigations, for example, related to Amber Alerts or other missing children, stolen vehicles, or stolen license plates. The information is also retained for a fixed retention period, though it is only re-accessible by law enforcement given a legitimate law enforcement purpose as listed below.
PURPOSE
This NCRIC Automated License Plate Reader Policy (ALPR Policy) defines a minimum set of binding guidelines to govern the use of Automated License Plate Reader Data (ALPR Data), in order to enable the collection and use of such data in a manner consistent with respect for individuals' privacy and civil liberties.
The NCRIC also completed a NCRIC ALPR Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to address in further detail common privacy and civil liberties concerns regarding Automated License Plate Reader technology. The current version of this document is available on the NCRIC web site at www.ncric.org.
AUTHORIZED PURPOSES, COLLECTION, AND USE OF ALPR DATA
To support the mission of the NCRIC, Law enforcement personnel with a need and right to know will utilize ALPR technology to: •Locate stolen, wanted, and subject of investigation vehicles; •Locate and apprehend individuals subject to arrest warrants or otherwise lawfully sought by law enforcement;
•Locate witnesses and victims of violent crime;
•Locate missing children and elderly individuals, including responding to Amber and Silver Alerts; •Support local, state, federal, and tribal public safety departments in the identification of vehicles associated with targets of criminal investigations, including investigations of serial crimes; Agenda Item #6.3:
•Protect participants at special events; and
•Protect critical infrastructure sites.
RESTRICTIONS ON COLLECTION OF ALPR DATA AND USE OF ALPR SYSTEMS NCRIC ALPR units may be used to collect data that is within public view, but may not be used for the sole purpose of monitoring individual activities protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
ALPR operators must recognize that the data collected from the ALPR device, and the content of referenced hotlists, consists of data that may or may not be accurate, despite ongoing efforts to maximize the currency and accuracy of such data. To the greatest extent possible, vehicle and subject information will be verified from separate Law enforcement information sources to confirm the vehicle or subject's identity and justification for contact. Users of ALPR Data must, to the fullest extent possible, visually confirm the plate characters generated by the ALPR readers correspond with the digital image of the license plate in question.
All users of NCRIC ALPR equipment or accessing NCRIC ALPR Data are required to acknowledge that they have read and understood the NCRIC ALPR Policy prior to use of the ALPR System.
In no case shall the NCRIC ALPR system be used for any purpose other than a legitimate law enforcement or public safety purpose.
TRAINING
Only persons trained in the use of the NCRIC ALPR system, including its privacy and civil liberties protections, shall be allowed access to NCRIC ALPR Data. Training shall consist of: •Legal authorities, developments, and issues involving the use of ALPR Data and technology •Current NCRIC Policy regarding appropriate use of NCRIC ALPR systems; •Evolution of ALPR and related technologies, including new capabilities and associated risks; •Technical, physical, administrative, and procedural measures to protect the security of ALPR Data against unauthorized access or use; and
•Practical exercises in the use of the NCRIC ALPR system Training shall be updated as technological, legal, and other changes that affect the use of the NCRIC ALPR system occur. In no case shall a person utilize the NCRIC ALPR system if he/she has not completed training in more than a year.
AUDIT
Agenda Item #6.3:
Access to, and use of, ALPR Data is logged for audit purposes. Audit reports will be structured in a format that is understandable and useful and will contain, at a minimum: •The name of the law enforcement user;
•The name of the agency employing the user;
•The date and time of access;
•The specific data accessed;
•The supplied authorized law enforcement or public safety justification for access; and •A case number associated with the investigative effort generating the ALPR data query.
Audit reports will be provided periodically and on request to supervisory personnel at the NCRIC and partner agencies.
In addition, no less frequently than every 12 months, the NCRIC will audit a sampling of ALPR system utilization from the prior 12 month period to verify proper use in accordance with the above authorized uses. Any discovered intentional misconduct will lead to further investigation, termination of system access, and notification of the user's parent agency for appropriate recourse. In addition, the auditing data will be used to identify systemic issues, inadvertent misuse, and requirements for policy changes, training enhancements, or additional oversight mechanisms.
These ALPR audits shall be conducted by a senior NCRIC official other than the person assigned to manage the NCRIC ALPR function. Audit results shall then be reported to the Director of the NCRIC.
DATA QUALITY AND ACCURACY
The NCRIC will take reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of ALPR Data collected by NCRIC ALPR units and partner agency ALPR systems. Errors discovered in ALPR Data collected by NCRIC ALPR units are marked, corrected, or deleted in accordance with the type and severity of the error in question.
Errors discovered in ALPR Data collected from partner agencies' ALPR systems are communicated back to the controlling agency to be addressed as deemed appropriate by that agency or in accordance with the agency's own ALPR data policies.
As the downstream custodian of ”hotlists“, the NCRIC will provide the most recent versions of these lists available and ensure the lists are refreshed from state or federal sources on a daily basis.
The NCRIC acknowledges that, in rare instances ALPR units may inadvertently capture information contrary to the collection guidelines set forth in this policy. Such records will be purged upon identification. Any discovered notable increase in frequency of these incidents from specific ALPR units or agencies will be followed up with for equipment repairs, camera realignment, or personnel training as necessary.
PHYSICAL AND ELECTRONIC SECURITY OF ALPR DATA:
Data collected by ALPR systems is stored in a secured law enforcement facility with multiple layers of physical security and 24/7 security protections. Physical access is limited to law enforcement staff in good standing who have completed background investigations and possess an active security clearance at the ”SECRET“ or higher level.
Agenda Item #6.3:
NCRIC will utilize strong multi-factor authentication, encrypted communications, firewalls, and other reasonable physical, technological, administrative, procedural, and personnel security measures to mitigate the risks of unauthorized access to the system.
RETENTION OF ALPR DATA:
ALPR records matching an entry in a current law enforcement hotlist will trigger an immediate notification to the officer operating the ALPR unit, the active dispatch officer at the agency owning the ALPR unit, the NCRIC, and the custodial agency of the hotlist. Such notifications are also subject to a maximum retention of 12 months.
ALPR Data obtained with license plate information not appearing on hotlists, and with no immediate reasonable connection to criminal activity, will be retained in secure systems so as to only be made accessible to authorized personnel for a maximum period of twelve months, then purged entirely from all systems. If during the specified retention period there is information which supports a legitimate law enforcement purpose (see above section enumerating AUTHORIZED PURPOSES, COLLECTION, AND USE OF ALPR DATA) as to a license plate or partial license plate which was recorded and is retained in these systems, then limited access will be permitted for predicate-based querying for potential matches against the parameters specific to the legitimate law enforcement purpose. Such events shall be recorded in an access log showing date, time, name of person seeking access, agency of employment, reason for access, and tracking identifiers such as an agency case number.
ALPR records of vehicles having been identified and linked to criminal investigation will be entered into the relevant NCRIC database(s) and retained for a period of no more than five years.

Part Six of Six Reports: Receive and Discuss Annual Report from City of Sonoma Community Services Provider: Sonoma Home Winemakers, Field of Dreams, Sonoma Overnight Support and the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce
Summary
This is a continuation of the annual reports provided by the City of Sonoma's recreation and community services partners. On March 1, 2023, we started hearing from our partners, due to the amount of time it took to get through the presentations and questions, City staff has expanded the presentations across six meetings with the reports wrapping up on June 7, 2023.
Sonoma Home Winemakers, Field of Dreams, Sonoma Overnight Support, and the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce will be presenting their annual reports during the meeting. They have been asked to prepare a 5–7-minute report to be followed by questions and answer period.
BACKGROUND
The City of Sonoma has a long history of providing funding to various recreation and community service initiatives through annual grant funding, one-time investments in facilities, financial support for leases, and/or low annual lease rates for property or buildings. In addition, the City has traditionally supported many community events and activities by waiving or reducing city fees and at times, providing direct financial support. The City also has supported non-profits through the years for one-time initiatives or opportunities. The City’s support for a variety of recreation and community services is an important component in ensuring a high quality of life for its residents.
In 2017, the City Council directed staff to create a new program that would take the City's hybrid approach and formalize it, by providing multi-year contracts and/or lease agreements to nonprofits delivering core recreation and environment services to the community, support for heritage/legacy community events through fee waivers, and an opportunity to fund/support unique projects that are impactful to the community through a discretionary reserve fund.
On March 15, 2018, this new program "Recreation and Community Services Program and Funding and Policy Guidelines" centralized these partnerships in a manner to allow them to be visible to the community especially since many of these investments have occurred through the years.
The purpose of the Recreation and Community Services Program is to centralize and bring together the many investments that the City provides. This updated Program has the following five components:
1. Multi-year contracts with key non-profit organizations which provide core recreation and community service programs where there has been a long City partnership;
2. Fee waivers and financial support for events that celebrate our community’s heritage and history;
Agenda Item #6.4:
3. Fee waivers for community events that celebrate seasonal events and bring our community together; and,
4. Discretionary funding to support unique projects that are impactful to the community/City that may arise during the year without tapping into the City’s reserves; and
5. Enhancement of a “Recreation and Community Services” webpage on the City’s website to provide information and links regarding this program, our partners and the City’s investments.
In many cities, there are city employees and a dedicated Recreation and Community Service Department that deliver youth programs, athletic programs, senior services, arts and theater, and the facilities that operate these programs. In Sonoma, these core recreational programs are provided by non-profits; the City has not provided these programs directly. For many decades, the City has provided annual grant funding to key non-profits which over time became known as the “Tier 1” non-profits. Due to these long-term partnerships, the City and its residents have experienced cost savings through the avoidance of creating a City department with appropriate staffing devoted to recreational and community programs. By leveraging the talents, skills, networks, and resources already available in the community, the City has invested in recreation and community programs for decades. This approach has proven to be a cost effective, efficient, and flexible method to meet the changing needs of the community.
Non-profit organizations which provide these recreational and community programs are expert at delivering some traditional services provided by city governments elsewhere.
During FY22/23 budget session, City council members requested a deeper dive into these partnerships, to gain a better understanding of the services being provided as well as a better understanding of the value of the support the City provides. The value is not just the monetary contributions but also in financial support of leases and or low annual lease rates of public property.
The agreements between the City and the community partners contain clauses requesting annual reports to City Council. This year City staff has arranged over a series of City Council meetings to have each of the community partners present an annual report. They were each provided an outline of items to cover, and staff requested they prepare a 5–7-minute presentation.
Below is the list of items that were asked to be covered during the report to City Council.
Introduction & Background including:
• date of formation
• history
• mission
Populations and number of individuals served annually. If available, please include:
• demographic data or analysis of age, race, and socioeconomic information of your customers/clients
• equity-focused programs, practices, outreach strategies, tools, and/or policies that make your programming and services accessible to community members with access and functional needs, language barriers, and/or who need financial assistance.
Financial Information
• High level overview of revenue/grants and expenses
• How the City’s contribution supports your organization and mission • Any significant expenditures or upgrades to facilities/property planned Agenda Item #6.4:
Community Partnerships
• Highlight any partnerships within the community.
What’s New?
• Discuss any new programs, initiatives and instructors or staff.
Attached to the staff report is a copy of each of the presenting community partners' current agreements. The current contracts with Sonoma Home Winemakers include a land lease agreement and a first amendment to the lease which provided the organization with access to City water, to help irrigate the replacement vines. The Field of Dreams also has a restated land lease agreement, a first amendment to the restated lease and their maintenance and operations agreement which expires end of June 2023. Sonoma Overnight Support includes the original service agreement for the management of the emergency shelter program, and the first amendment to that agreement which increased the annual fees from $15,000 annually to $30,000 annually. Also included is the MOU for the Safe Parking Program, which is scheduled to end on June 2, 2023, per an email received by the City from Kathy King, Executive Director on May 19, 2023. In addition to the agreements, Mrs. King included the annual end of year power point presentation for 2022 and a separate document outlining the current active programs. The last presentation will be provided by Mark Bodenhamer from the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce. The city has a three-year professional services agreement with the Chamber of Commerce which expires the end of FY23/24. After each presentation City Council will have an opportunity to ask questions of the organizations. Additional action can occur during the annual budget discussions.

FIRST AMENDMENTO
GROUNDLEASE AGREEMENTBETWEEN
CITYOF SONOMA
AND
SONOMAHOMEWINEMAKERS
This FirstAmendmentto the Lease Agreement made and entered intoon April19, 2016 hereinafter referred to as Agreement, between Sonoma Home Winemakers therein referred to as Tenant, and the City of Sonoma, a municipalcorporation, therein referred to as City, is made and entered intoon July 30, 2022.
Tenant and Citydo mutually agree as follows:
1. Amended UtilitiesSection Tenant is requesting to amend section 7 Utilitiesof the current Lease Agreement to include language that re?ects the Cityof Sonoma’s willingnessto subsidizewater usage forthe irrigationof eight rows of planted vines withinthe thirty-rowvineyard (approx. 800 vines). The Tenant does not have an active Citywater account as water was turned offto the vineyard in 2016 after the new lease agreement was established. Due to years of drought in Sonoma Valley the vineyard has lost/orin need of replacing twenty percent of the vines that were originallyplanted back when the vineyard was established prior to 1997.However, as the vine loss isn't limitedto single rows but is intermixedwithineach row of vines, the Tenant is requesting a 3-year water subsidy from the City of Sonoma which will allowthem to water the newly planted vines, not to exceed irrigation of 8 rows in any given annual period. The goal is to get the newly planted vines established in a 12- month period and then move intothe next eight rows replacing the lost or dying vines. Once established the vineyard willrevert back to a dry-farmed vineyard. The Tenant estimates the weekly water usage willbe approximately 150 gallons a week.
The City water subsidy is estimated to be $100.00 annually.
In return for the Citywater subsidy, the Tenant willsupply four cases of wine annually to the City, which willbe used at the City's Alcaldeand Treasure ArtistReceptions.
These events recognize City members who go above and beyond in supporting our community.
2. Integration. This First Amendment contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the section 7 Utilitieslanguage as amended above and supersedes whatever oral or written understanding to section 7 Utilitiesinthe original Lease Agreement they may have had priorto the execution of this FirstAmendment.
This First Amendment shall not be amended or modi?ed except by a written agreement executed by each ofthe parties. Except as speci?cally revised herein, all terms and conditions ofthe Agreement, and all prior amendments, ifany, shall remain in fullforce and effect, and Tenant shall performall duties, obligations and conditions required under the Agreement.

RESTATED LEASE
This restated Lease entered into at the City of Sonoma, Sonoma County, State of California, on �PfZ-lL. l7 _, 2007, between the CITY OF SONOMA, a municipal corporation, as Lessor, and THE SONOMA VALLEY FIELD OF DREAMS, a California corporation, as Lessee is the successor to the Lease originally entered into between CITY and Lessee on April 7, 1993.
For convenience, the parties will be referred to in this lease respectively as the "CITY" and the "LESSEE."
RECITALS
On April 7, 1993, CITY and LESSEE entered into an agreement whereby LESSEE leased from CITY a parcel of real property approximately 665 feet by 730 feet located on First Street West.
On June 8, 1994, and on March 16, 2005, the Indemnification provision of said lease was amended.
On October 7, 1998, the area of the leased premises was amended to include additional undeveloped property.
On April 7, 2003 and at all times thereafter, LESSEE was and remains a private, non-profit corporation organized under· the law of California and qualified for exemption · from federal income tax and State of California franchise tax. Its sole purpose is the creation and operation of a facility consisting of turfed areas and playfields in the City of Sonoma to be operated on a long-term basis for the benefit of young people who reside in and in the environs of the City of Sonoma.
On April 7, 2003 and at all times thereafter, the CITY made and continues to make no representation as to the suitability of the property described in Exhibit A for the purposes intended.
T ditibCJ Page I ofl6
Agenda Item #6.4:
Prior to and since April 7, 1993, LES SEE raised, and continues to raise substantial funds and obtained commitments for the payment to it of substantial funds and proceeded with the establishment of the intended playfield use in the City of Sonoma, and the City of Sonoma continues to deem the establishment and operation of such a facility as an activity partaking of the nature of a public use. Notwithstanding funding which may have been contributed by CITY to the construction of planned improvements on the premises or which may have been granted on a one-time basis in support of programs administered by LESSEE, there is absolutely no commitment from the City of Sonoma or any other public agency to fund any aspects of the creation or maintenance of said playfield, any improvements thereto or any associated uses and the LESSEE has not relied on any expectation of such funding.
The planned construction in 2007 of restroom facilities on a portion of the leased premises has caused the LESSEE and the CITY to restate the lease to incorporate all previous amendments and to incorporate provisions regarding the new restroom facility.
The CITY is willing to restate the lease for the property described in Exhibit A in consideration of the promises and the undertaking of the LESSEE, as stated in this lease, and upon the reservation of a nominal monetary rent, according to the terms and conditions stated below.
The parties therefore agree as follows:
1. Term of Lease. The CITY hereby leases to the LESSEE the real property described in Exhibits A and B attached hereto for a term of 55 years from and after April 7, 1993 through April 6, 2048, and the LESSEE, by execution of a copy of this restated lease and receipt of this lease executed by the Mayor or other authorized officer of the City of Sonoma, pursuant to resolution of its City Council, hereby takes the said property for the said term and will enter into possession thereof and will faithfully perform all of the terms, conditions, promises and undertakings stated as obligations of the LESSEE in the following paragraphs of this instrument.
Agenda Item #6.4:
2. Use of the Property The premises are leased to LESSEE for the following purpose or purposes, and for none other:
1. Construction and operation of playing fields primarily for the not for profit use of young persons in organized and adult supervised team sports. n. Such other uses which are incident and directly related to the uses permitted herein, incl�ding operation and maintenance of a restroom facility, as may be approved in writing after resolution of the City Council, which may be granted or withheld in the absolute discretion of the City Council. 111. Except in such times where LESSEE has expressly scheduled the use of the fields and associated property for team sports permitted herein or as otherwise provided in paragraph 16, hereof, with respect to the operation and maintenance of a restroom facility, the property shall remain open to the use of other members of the public without fee or charge.
1v. Pursuant to paragraph 31 of this lease, the City Council may promulgate such other reasonable rules and regulations as it may deem fit with regard to the uses permitted by this paragraph.
Any other use of the premises than as set forth herein shall be a breach of the covenants and conditions of this lease.
In addition to any other act prohibited by this lease, LESSEE shall not do, commit, suffer, permit, nor allow upon the premises any act or thing which:
a. Will increase the existing rates of insurance on the premises. b. Will cause a cancellation of any policy of insurance covering the premises. c. Might be prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policy. d. Will constitute waste upon the premises.
e. Will create a nuisance upon the premises.
f. Will disturb the quiet enjoyment of other tenants or the CITY upon the· premises retained by the CITY or leased to other tenants by the CITY. g. Will cause the claims of mechanics, artisans, or material men to become a lien upon the premises.
Agenda Item #6.4:
3. All Uses must be Lawful. No use other than that described in the paragraph above may be made of the property without the prior written consent of the CITY, and every use of the property must in all respects be lawful and not in violation of any valid law, ordinance or regulation of any federal, state, county, city or other governmental agency having jurisdiction. The LESSEE shall not at any time maintain, commit or permit the maintenance or commission of any nuisance, as now or hereafter defined by any statutory or decisional law, on the premises or any part of it. LESSEE shall not illegally discriminate against any person or class of persons in a manner that would be prohibited to the City of Sonoma were it operating the property.
4. Property Taxes; Responsibility of LESSEE. At the date of this lease, the premises are exempt from ad valorem real property taxation as being held for municipal purposes within the corporate limits of the City of Sonoma. The CITY makes no representation and gives no assurance that the LESSEE's interest will be similarly exempt whether under Section 214 of the Revenue and Taxation Code or otherwise. Real property taxes, if any, which may be assessed against the interest of LESSEE shall be paid by LESSEE when due, and LESSEE agrees that any transfer of its title, or threatened transfer of its title, for delinquent taxes shall constitute grounds for the immediate termination of this lease by the CITY and forfeiture of its interest.
5. Right to Contest Tax. No provision in the foregoing paragraph is intended to deprive LESSEE of its right to contest, oppose or object to the amount or validity of any tax, assessment or other charge levied upon or assessed against the premises or any part of the premises. In any such contest, it shall be the LESSEE's sole responsibility to obtain and maintain stay of all proceedings for enforcement and collection of such tax, assessment or other charge.
6. Utilities. Except as provided in paragraph 16, hereof, with respect to the operation and maintenance of a restroom facility, the LESSEE shall pay for all utilities and services delivered to or for the benefit of the premises and shall hold the CITY free and harmless from all utility and service charges of every kind whatsoever.

Construction of Improvements Except as provided in paragraph 16, hereof, with respect to the operation and maintenance of a restroom facility, all structural improvements to the property shall be considered temporary. The facilities to be constructed on the premises shall be at the sole cost and expense of LESSEE, and the CITY shall not be called upon to make any contribution to the improvements other than the transfer of the leasehold interest at nominal monetary consideration as provided for in the terms of this instrument. The parties recognize that an initiative measure of the people of the City of Sonoma prohibits the construction of permanent structures on this property.
Therefore no permanent structures shall be constructed on the property and LESSEE shall remove all structures from the property upon termination of this lease for whatever cause unless the retention of the structure is permitted by the City of Sonoma.
8. CITY Approval of Plans. Before any improvement is commenced upon the property, the LESSEE shall submit to the CITY for its review and approval all plans, specifications, drawings and other instruments prepared for construction purposes which shall show the proposed location of improvements upon the property. No improvements shall be placed upon or maintained on the premises that do not comply with plans, specifications and locations approved by the CITY, and following placement, no material additions to or alternations of any structure or improvement shall be made without the further consent of the CITY.

David Guhin, City Manager
Agenda Item Title
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement Certifying the City's Continued Participation and Involvement in the Urban County Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for Housing and Community Development Especially as it Relates to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Entitlement Programs for 2024-2026 Summary
Every three years, the County of Sonoma, the Town of Windsor, and the cities of Cloverdale, Cotati, Healdsburg, Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, and Sonoma have the opportunity to qualify, once again, as an "Urban County" designated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This designation allows these agencies to receive an annual allocation of federal funding for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and HOME funding, making them an "entitlement jurisdiction." The intention to remain an urban county consisting of eight jurisdictions from 2024 to 2026 needs to be communicated to HUD, following the process and timeline specified by HUD.
The CDBG Entitlement Program provides annual grants based on a formula to entitled cities and counties. These grants aim to develop livable urban communities by providing adequate housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, primarily for individuals with low to moderate incomes. HUD awards these grants to entitlement community grantees to support various community development activities such as neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and improved community facilities and services.
To receive funding directly from HUD as an entitlement jurisdiction, a city must have a population of at least 50,000. However, as a small city, Sonoma has traditionally collaborated with other cities under the 50,000 population threshold and Sonoma County for CDBG and HOME efforts. The smaller cities will once again join Sonoma County in this partnership for the years 2024-26.
The attached letter from Sonoma County provides further details about the program and the agreement.
Recommended Council Action
Adopt a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement certifying the City's continued participation and involvement in the Urban County Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for Housing and Community Development especially as it relates to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Entitlement Programs for 2024-2026.
Alternative Actions
Agenda Item #7.3:
If the City Council decides not to renew its agreement with the JPA, the City will be required to seek grants from the Small Cities or State CDBG and HOME programs throughout the 2024- 2026 urban county agreement period. Consequently, the City's funding for its programs in general may be reduced as it would likely receive only formula allocation under the ESG and HOME Programs.
Financial Impact
By approving the resolution, the City ensures its eligibility to receive funds from the JPA for various community development projects aimed at neighborhood revitalization, economic growth, and enhanced community facilities and services.

Re: Urban County Joint Powers Agreement Renewal for Participation in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Entitlement Programs for the Period of 2024-2026.
Dear Mr. Linder:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that the “Urban County”, the entitlement entity for federal CDBG, HOME, and ESG grants, re-qualify every three years to continue receiving an annual allocation of these grants. This is the opportunity for each jurisdiction that makes up the “Urban County” to inform HUD of its intention to continue participating in the Joint Powers Agreement(JPA). The Urban County entitlement jurisdiction is currently comprised of the County of Sonoma, the Town of Windsor and the cities of Cloverdale, Cotati, Healdsburg, Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, and Sonoma. It is time to communicate to HUD our intentions to remain an Urban County of eight jurisdictions for years 2024 through, and including, 2026. HUD specifies the process and timeline associated with the renewal process, and the Sonoma County Community Development Commission (Commission) manages the process on behalf of Sonoma County and the Urban County.
Pursuant to HUD regulations that govern the qualification process for Urban County status, Sonoma County, as the funding administrator, is required to notify each participating city and town of the following:
1. The County of Sonoma, Town of Windsor, and cities of Cloverdale, Cotati, Healdsburg, Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, and Sonoma must re-qualify as an Urban County, for the period of 2024-2026 during the current fiscal year.
2. Your jurisdiction is automatically included as part of the Urban County, unless you choose to be excluded.
3. The Urban County cooperation agreement, in the form of a JPA executed in 2017, will automatically be renewed unless you choose to terminate the agreement and not participate during the 2024-2026 qualification period.
Agenda Item #7.3:
4. If you choose to remain as part of the Urban County, your jurisdiction may continue to participate in the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs as a grant beneficiary.
5. If you choose to remain as part of the Urban County, your jurisdiction will be ineligible to apply for grants from appropriations under the Small Cities or State CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs for the duration of the 2024-2026 Urban County agreement. Your jurisdiction may only receive formula allocations for CDBG, HOME, and ESG through the Urban County.
6. If you choose to be excluded from the Urban County, or if you choose to terminate the Urban County JPA and not participate during the 2024-2026 qualification period, you must notify both the Commission and HUD Field Office by letter no later than July 7th, 2023.
A copy of the current JPA is enclosed for your reference. Please note that failure to respond by the date noted above shall be considered as agreement to continue participation in the Urban County JPA.
As a means to document intent to remain an eight-jurisdiction Urban County for 2024-2026, and thereby exercising the automatic three-year renewal feature in the existing JPA, we ask that you please sign the certification below and return this document to the Commission at your earliest convenience.
The Commission will need this document for submission to HUDto conclude the renewal process.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Valerie Johnson, Community Development Associate, at (707) 565-7514 or via email at [email protected].
We thank you for your attention and cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Coffman
Community Development Director

Adopt a Resolution Rescinding #Resolution 36-2021 and #Resolution 39-2021 and Encouraging Water Customers to Continue Water Conservation Practices that Minimize Water Waste
Summary
The Governor of the State of California declared a local drought emergency in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties on April 21, 2021. This action was followed by the County of Sonoma declaring a local drought emergency on April 27, 2021. On June 14, 2021, the State Water Resources Control Board issued an order that requires that Sonoma Water and its water contractors reduce total diversions from the Russian River by 20% compared to the same period of 2020 from July 1 through mid-December 2021.
The City of Sonoma on average purchases approximately 90% of its potable water from Sonoma Water, the region’s wholesale water supplier and the majority of Sonoma’s water supply comes from the Russian River Basin.
In response to the drought emergency declarations the Council of the City of Sonoma adopted the following Resolutions:
1. On June 7, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution #36-2021 declaring a water shortage emergency and a Stage 1 Voluntary Conservation Water Shortage Alert, with the goal of achieving an overall system-wide reduction goal of up to 15% of Russian River water supply deliveries; and
2. On June 21, 2021, the Council of the City of Sonoma adopted #Resolution 39-2021 declaring a Stage 2 Mandatory Conservation water shortage in the City of Sonoma water service area effective July 1, 2021, in accordance with Sonoma Municipal Code
13.10.070, with the goal of 20% or higher reduction in Russian River water supply delivery to the City.
The Sonoma County region has recently received substantial rainfall via a series of atmospheric rivers and Lake Sonoma and Lake Mendocino have fully recovered from historically low levels to the point that the water supply pool for each reservoir is full. The water supply outlook has vastly improved such that mandatory reductions in community-wide water use are no longer necessary.
On March 24, 2023, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-5-23, modifying the previous drought emergency Executive Orders. EO-N-5-23 ends the statewide voluntary 15% water conservation target and ends the statewide requirement that local water agencies implement level 2 of their drought contingency plans for all but the Klamath River and Colorado River watersheds.
Agenda Item #7.4:
Water conservation best practices are a priority of the Council. Even though Stage 2 Mandatory Conservation has ended the Council fully supports voluntary conservation measures by all water users of the City of Sonoma and continues to enforce water waste prohibitions established in Sonoma Municipal Code 13.10.060 including:
1. The washing of sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking lots, and other hard-surfaced areas by direct hosing, except as may be necessary to properly dispose of flammable or other dangerous liquids or substances, wash away spills that present a trip and fall hazard, or to prevent or eliminate materials dangerous to the public health and safety; provided, that the disposal of such is in conformance with Chapter 13.32 SMC, Stormwater Management and Discharge Control;
2. The escape of water through breaks or leaks within the customer’s plumbing or private distribution system for any substantial period of time within which such break or leak should reasonably have been discovered and corrected. It shall be presumed that a period of 72 hours after the customer discovers such a break or leak or receives notice from the city is a reasonable time to correct such break or leak or, at a minimum, to stop the flow of water from such break or leak;
3. Irrigation in a manner or to an extent which allows excessive runoff of water or unreasonable over-spray of the areas being watered. Every customer is deemed to have his/her water system under control at all times, to know the manner and extent of his/her water use and any runoff, and to employ available alternatives to apply irrigation water in a reasonably efficient manner;
4. Washing cars, boats, trailers, or other vehicles and machinery directly with a hose not equipped with a shutoff nozzle; and
5. Water for nonrecirculating conveyor car wash systems.
To support the conservation of water use indoors and outside, there are many water conservation rebate and other incentive programs to replace high water-use plumbing fixtures and appliances with water-efficient models. Residents and businesses are encouraged to visit the Sonoma Marin Saving Water Partnership for information on programs and rebates available, in addition to watering tips and how to reach your water meter Recommended Council Action
Adopt a Resolution that 1) rescinds Resolution #36-2021 declaring a water shortage emergency and a Stage 1 Voluntary Conservation Water Shortage Alert 2) rescinds Resolution #39-2021 declaring a Stage 2 Mandatory Conservation water shortage in the City of Sonoma water service area, and 3) continues to recommend best practices by all water users of the City of Sonoma.
Alternative Actions
Council discretion
Financial Impact
While water conservation will continue to be encouraged, water deliveries and revenue would be expected to increase, which will help balance revenues with fixed expenditures, and lessen the need for a conservation based rate increase.

Agenda Item Title
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Public Works Director to Apply for the California State Parks Recreational Trails Grant to Fund Major Rehabilitation of Portions of the Sonoma Overlook Trail
Summary
The Sonoma Overlook Trail, located on the upper Mountain Cemetery property was constructed in 1999. The planning, design, and maintenance of the trail has relied heavily on volunteer efforts, led by the Sonoma Overlook Stewards. In recent years the Stewards have become increasingly concerned that segments of the trail are eroding, which leads to several problems including increased maintenance, safety concerns, and the creation of bypass trails as hikers attempt to avoid the eroded segments. In 2016 the City with the assistance of the Trail Stewards conducted a trail rehabilitation project funded mostly through the Habitat Conservation Fund with City funds to supplement the environmental review of the rehabilitation plan.
Three areas identified in the trail assessment conducted during the grant application period for the 2016 project were not able to be repaired during that larger effort and have continued to deteriorate. The Trail Stewards would like to contribute their own fundraising efforts in combinations with City of Sonoma funds to meet the match requirement for a 2023 grant fund, the California State Parks Recreational Trail Grant. The City would apply for this grant funding from the State Parks Program to complete the remaining areas in major need of repair.
Public Works is proposing to apply for a grant totaling $250,000.00 for repair of these three sections of trail. The grant application would commit to a 33% match or $83,250.00. Of this the Trail Stewards would donate $33,250.00 from their fundraising efforts and the City would contribute $50,000.00 from our Park In-Lieu fees.
Recommended Council Action
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Public Works director to apply for the California State Parks Recreation and Trail Program Grant.
Alternative Actions
Council discretion
Financial Impact
Public Works application to the California State Parks would bring in grant funding of $166,650.00 to improve the trail infrastructure at Sonoma Overlook Trail. The City would contribute $50,000.00 from GL 314-54000-703-70703 to partially meet the match requirement for the grant. The Trail Stewards would contribute the remaining $33,250.00 in match.
