MEETING DATE: July 17, 2023
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Turu VanderWiel, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Recognition of Deborah Dills for her Years of Service to the City of Sonora

RECOMMENDATION
Recognition of the retirement of Police Records Technician Deborah Dills.

DISCUSSION
Staff would like to formally recognize Deborah Dills for over thirty years of service to the City of Sonora.

The Police Department hired Deborah in February 1992, but her experience in public service, however, extends back to 1977 when she took a job as a Public Safety Dispatcher for the Weaverville Volunteer Fire Department. After that, she worked as an EMT II on an ambulance. In 1982 she was hired by the Trinity County Sheriff’s Department, where she worked as Dispatcher/Correctional Officer, Dispatch Supervisor and Search and Rescue Manager. For Sonora, she has performed various functions such as Community Service Officer, Evidence Technician, Dispatcher, Dispatch Supervisor, and Records Technician. Deborah is retiring, and we would like to take this opportunity to give recognition of her service and present her with a Certificate of Appreciation for all that she has contributed to our City and the community.

As the Chief of Police, I rely heavily on Deborah’s expertise and commitment to excellence. She helped guide me when I was adjusting to my current role, and she continued to provide valuable input over the years to help steer the direction of my department. Her industry knowledge and historical understanding have established her as the department’s specialist in our overall operation.

For all of us, we are truly grateful for the service Deborah has provided to our operations and the City of Sonora. Always dependable, Deborah has supported our mission, ensuring we are successful in our mission to deliver excellent service to the community.

Thank you, Deborah, for all that you have done. You will be greatly missed.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund.

Disbursements are part of the approved FY23-24 Budget.
5 Item 3.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 17, 2023
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Melissa Eads, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Update on the Completion of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, the General Plan Safety Element, and the Housing Element

RECOMMENDATION
Receive an Update on the Completion of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, the General Plan Safety Element, and the Housing Element.

DISCUSSION
The City of Sonora received grant funds from SB2 and Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) in the amount of $171,000 for the completion of the General Plan Safety and Housing Elements. The documents are required by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and are on a critical path deadline due June 2024. The City Council has approved an on-call professional services contract with CSG Consultants Inc., (CSG), serving as the City planning consultant team. CSG will be completing the update under this agreement.

The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is required by the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) to be updated every five years and is necessary to receive California Office of Emergency Services and Federal Emergency Management funding and grants. The function of the LHMP is to assess the City’s vulnerability to natural and manmade hazards and to develop strategies to mitigate those vulnerabilities. The LHMP is also on a critical path deadline with a due date of February 2024.

Assembly Bill 2140 authorizes local governments to adopt their LHMP with the Safety Elements of their General Plan (Gov. Code 65302.6). AB 2140 is one of the most important links between General Plans and the LHMP in California. According to the legislation, adopting the LHMP with the Safety Element provides a vehicle for the implementation of the LHMP. This integration allows hazard mitigation strategies to be implemented and local hazard awareness to be upgraded and enhanced. Much of the background research, data, and risk assessment for the LHMP overlaps with the Safety Element.

Preparing these items together ensures consistency and reduces redundancy. City staff has directed the completion of the LHMP, in coordination with the Safety Element, as part of the on-call professional services contract with CSG.

The City’s last adopted LHMP was completed in coordination with Tuolumne County in 2019 and included in the Annex of the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP). The City will again be collaborating with Tuolumne County in the Multi-Jurisdictional Plan. Once the plan is adopted by the Council, the plan will be submitted to Tuolumne County for inclusion in the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plans as an Annex. The County will submit the overarching plan to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Hazard Mitigation Office for review and then to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for final approval.
6 Item 4.

Having an approved MJHMP through FEMA allows each jurisdiction to be eligible to apply for PreDisaster Mitigation (PDM) Grant Program funding, which can be used to implement projects that reduce overall risk to the population and structures from future hazardous events and also reduces the reliance on federal funding in future disasters, so long as that hazard is identified in the approved plan.

An approved LHMP is a mandatory requirement for any Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant.

Mitigation and planning projects must be identified in the plan to be eligible. The project must be tied to risk assessment and need. Without an updated LHMP compliant with planning policy updates that went into effect in April of 2023, the City would not be eligible for cost recovery or HMA grant funding.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City currently has an on-call professional services agreement with CSG, this project will be a task order under that agreement. The original task order for the Safety and Housing Element was $196,000.

CSG has included the LHMP and revised the scope to total $249,000 inclusive of a $35,000 contingency. The task order amount in excess of the grant funding is $78,000. The City budgeted $235,000 in the FY 2023-2024 budget for the completion of the LHMP and the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The cost proposal is on track with estimated budgetary costs. Due to the critical deadlines, the risk of funding for failure to meet the required deadlines, as well as the efficiencies to be achieved with CSG, staff has approved the task Order with CSG to include the LHMP. Please see the scope of services and budget attached.
7 Item 4.
1 Scope of Work
Hazard Mitigation Plan, Housing and Safety Element
Updates, CEQA Compliance
July 13, 2023
CSG Consultants is pleased to provide the following Updated Scope of Work (SOW) and Budget to prepare updates to the Housing and Safety Elements. This submittal includes the addition of a SOW and Budget to prepare a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for the City of Sonora. The work program will be led by CSG, in partnership with Michael Baker International (MBI). CSG and MBI have partnered many times before on both Policy and CEQA documentation and MBI’s extensive experience with LHMP’s will be a significant help in the development of documentation, mapping and processing.

The work program for the Housing and Safety Elements involved a Kickoff Meeting on May 8, 2023, in accordance with Task 1.4, which follows. Our initial effort over the past month has focused on research and review of the current Housing and Safety Elements and there will be a significant effort over the next four months with data gathering, analysis and documentation preparation. It will be critical to have an ongoing and regular engagement with city staff and representatives over the coming months as the effort will involve our entire team, as we dedicate team resources, gain momentum and move the assignment through the draft and final documentation process. The CSG and MBI team will work jointly and in partnership on all aspects of the assignment. We hope to schedule a meeting at the city in the next few weeks in order to have a check-in for both the Housing and Safety Elements and to officially kick off the LHMP.

The following are the principal tasks and subtasks for consideration by the City:
1 . 0 P R O J E C T M A N AG E M E N T A N D M E E T I N G S

1.1 Project Management
Glenn Lajoie, AICP will be responsible for the management and supervision of the Project Team. Mr. Lajoie will direct the preparation of the work products, ensuring compliance with State requirements. Documentation will be prepared in a Cityapproved format and will undergo internal review to ensure that it is of high quality, per industry standards, and meets the expectations of the legal defensibility. Mr. Lajoie will coordinate with City staff and/or other stakeholder representatives as well as internal technical staff, support staff and the word processing/editing team members to achieve timely completion of the work products. Throughout the work program, the CSG team will serve as an extension of City staff and as a resource for Planning and CEQA review matters for the Project.

1.2 Project Meetings and Hearings
Close coordination with staff is essential. CSG will participate in progress/project conference calls and/or meetings with staff. The meetings are anticipated to include the Project Kickoff meeting and Public Outreach meetings, and meetings before the Planning Commission and City Council. Virtual progress meetings that are scheduled will be coordinated with the City. The following meetings are assumed:
▪ Kickoff meeting with City Staff and stakeholder representatives (refer to task 1.4); ▪ Planning Commission meeting(s);
▪ City Council meeting(s);
▪ Periodic Project update calls, in-person and virtual meetings with Staff, at a minimum, expected bi-weekly.

1.3 Review of Policy Documents and Existing Conditions
CSG will review City documents to aid in understanding local conditions, as they relate to the existing Housing and Safety Elements, to determine revisions needed to comply with current State law. CSG will work with City staff to conduct a “page by page” review of the current elements, evaluate data needs and necessary updates, and determine 8 Item 4.

1.4 Project Kickoff Meeting
The CSG Team conducted a kick-off meeting with City staff on May 8, 2023, to refine the Housing and Safety Elements work program, identify key project team roles, and establish document review procedures. A follow up/second kickoff meeting will be scheduled in June/July 2023 in order to formally kickoff the LHMP, as discussed in Task 3.1 below. The overall work program is further refined in this updated scope of work, based on our discussions and critical project milestones. As a follow up to the May 8th kick-off meeting, CSG is developing a project schedule, which will distinguish a timeline for development of documents and processing. The project schedule will identify:
▪ Project milestones (tasks) with time for staff review of work products throughout the project. ▪ Timeline for public meetings and anticipated Planning Commission and City Council hearings. ▪ Outreach in compliance with SB 18 and AB 52 regulations. ▪ Implementation of environmental review timeline.
▪ Timelines for City staff review of deliverables.
2 . 0 C O M M U N I T Y O U T R E A C H
Understanding that there is never a "one size fits all" approach to community outreach, the CSG team will work with the City to develop a Community Engagement Strategy for the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) and updates to the Housing and Safety Elements that is responsive to the participation needs of the communities. The community outreach approach is anticipated to include web-based participation and community meetings, as discussed below.

2.1 Web Content/Social Media
Online outreach will be a key strategy in the planning process, providing a cost-effective means for reaching stakeholders and interested members of the public throughout the process. CSG will develop web content that can be used on the City's website. The content will provide information about the LHMP and Element Updates, including information about the planning process, draft documents, and upcoming meetings.

Website visitors will have an opportunity to provide input, comment on the LHMP and Elements, and ask questions. They will also be able to sign up for email updates. CSG will work with the City to disseminate information and updates on the plan process through social media.

2.2 Community Pop-Up Workshops/Activities
Workshops can be a fantastic opportunity to inform and obtain input from the community. However, formal community workshops are often not well attended. In contrast, community events or focused outreach as part of regularly scheduled meetings are typically well-received and attended. To access the larger community and obtain meaningful input, we recommend a "go-to-them" approach with pop-up workshops and/or focused outreach meetings.

Pop-up workshops at the Farmer’s Market and other community event venues are a fun and engaging way to bring the community together around an issue or topic using short-term, low-cost, and scalable activities out in the places where people gather. We recommend capitalizing on activities or meetings already planned within the area. We will work with the City to determine the best location and approach to these meetings. CSG team members will facilitate/attend up to two (2) community meetings/outreach events. We will work with the City to further refine the purpose and content of each activity or meeting and coordinate the timing to coincide with scheduled events/meetings, where possible.

SUCCESSFUL OUTREACH
▪ Informs and educates about
hazards and risks
▪ Invites interested parties to
contribute their views and
ideas for mitigation
▪ Identifies conflicts and
incorporates different
perspectives and priorities
early in the process
▪ Provides data and information
that improves overall quality
and accuracy of the plan
▪ Ensures transparency and
builds trust
▪ Maximizes opportunities for
implementation through
greater consensus and
acceptance

DRAFT SCOPE OF WORK FOR LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATES, AND CEQA COMPLIANCE 3 CSG will design up to two (2) promotional pieces to help publicize opportunities to participate and/or explain the Element Updates and LHMP process. The promotional piece will be provided to the City for review. One round of revision is assumed. The City will be responsible for dissemination of the promotional piece. 3 . 0 L O C A L H A Z AR D M I T I GA T I O N PL A N
The CSG team will facilitate the plan development, with the assistance of City staff, for the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). In addition, the CSG team will:
▪ Conduct an assessment of the hazards and risks that pose a threat to the community, including, but not limited to, the relevant hazards and risks as potential threats identified in the County’s Local Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan and in the City’s Emergency Operations Plan. ▪ Identify available resources, programs, and other efforts capable of assisting the City to mitigate these hazards or improve resiliency to them. Such efforts shall include local, county, regional, state, and federal capabilities. ▪ Prepare comprehensive Local Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan consistent with the strategies and actions in the State of California’s Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan will also be consistent with applicable local and county plans, including the City of Sonora Emergency Operations Plan, and the County of Tuolumne Hazard Mitigation Plan.
▪ Successful approval from CAL OES and FEMA, and adoption by City Council of a new LHMP.

3.1 Document and Resource Identification/Review
As part of the LHMP kickoff meeting, available resource documents pertinent to the LHMP will be identified and compiled for review. In addition to the City's General Plans, Emergency Operations Plan, Capital Improvement Plan, and Urban Water Management Plan, it is anticipated the State Hazard Mitigation Plan, Tuolumne County Hazard Mitigation Plan, and recent hazard mitigation plans of neighboring communities will also be reviewed.

3.2 Hazard Identification and Profiles
Based on the project team’s identification and
ranking of hazards, the CSG team will prepare the
hazard profiles, which will include a discussion of
the hazards of concern and identify the location,
extent, and past occurrences, the probability of
future occurrences, and climate change
considerations, as appropriate, for each hazard
identified by the team. CSG anticipates that the
climate impacts relevant to Sonora include, but are
not limited to, flooding, landslides and subsidence,
wildfire, drought, severe storms and extreme
weather. Federal, State, and local data will be used to project impacts from each of these hazard types
through 2050, in and around Sonora.

Preparation of the hazard profiles and risk assessment will include GIS mapping of relevant hazards (to the extent information is available and can be mapped) and analysis to determine areas of potential susceptibility within operational area. It is assumed that the City will provide infrastructure and building asset data for use in developing the hazard maps.

3.3 Hazard Mapping
The CSG team will prepare GIS base maps that will be used to develop the hazards mapping and support the hazard profiles. Additional maps depicting local hazard identification and critical facilities will be developed from these base maps. Working from these base maps, we will confirm a list of criteria and assets for mapping with the City.

SOW TO THE CITY OF SONORA

DRAFT SCOPE OF WORK FOR LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATES, AND CEQA COMPLIANCE 4 Location-based hazard data will be captured in a GIS database compatible with the City's systems, where possible.

The CSG team will work with City staff to identify available GIS data and determine if it is accurate and appropriate for hazard profiling at the desired scale. Current and newly created (as needed) data will be used to develop mapping products (as much as possible) to illustrate location, extent, severity, and other information for potential hazards in the city. The best available data will be used to complete this task. The preparation of maps will be concurrent with the development of hazard profiles.

In addition to hazards, maps will show the locations of vulnerable populations and assets, including lifeline facilities, disadvantaged communities, and critical infrastructure, and clearly summarize the intersection of hazard locations and assets. These vulnerable assets will be reviewed and confirmed with City staff. Assets will be shown, as appropriate, for multiple hazards and included separately where applicable in each hazard profile.

Concurrent with preparation of the hazard and assets maps, the project team will develop the critical facilities list to be used as part of the risk assessment. While critical facilities will be shown in map form, a separate list will be prepared for inclusion in the LHMP. Preparation of this list is an important component of the hazard mitigation planning process.

Recent experience in other cities has shown that some city departments already have lists of key structures/facilities of concern, which make a great starting point for this list; if available, the team will use these existing lists to create the critical facilities list. Information needed from the City includes building and content valuation to assist with the quantification of potential losses.

3.4 Vulnerability Assessment
Hazard profiling exposes the unique characteristics of individual hazards and begins the process of determining "who" and "what" is susceptible to a specific hazard within the City. Upon completion of the hazard profiles, the CSG team will conduct a vulnerability assessment to determine the hazards, climate impacts, and vulnerable assets of greatest concern for the City. This process will incorporate the hazard identification and profiling presented in Task 3.2, and the hazard maps created in Task 3.3. Estimates of potential dollar losses from identified hazards, based upon content and structure replacement value provided by the City, will be included where data is available.

Task 3.3 will include maps that overlay projected hazards, climate impacts, and vulnerable assets to determine which areas, communities, and facilities in the City are most at risk from hazards and climate change impacts.

Where possible, a description of facilities and infrastructure anticipated for future development and their locations will be included and mapped, if applicable. These maps will be used to inform the final step of the vulnerability analysis, which involves a scoring matrix through which each hazard/climate impact and each vulnerable asset is ranked on a risk scale. The output is used to prioritize which areas, climate impacts, people, and facilities the City needs to devote attention to in the goals, policies, programs, and implementation measures of both the LHMP and the Sonora Safety Element. Upon completion, the hazard profiles and vulnerability assessment will be presented to the City for review and comment.

3.5 Capabilities Assessment
A capabilities assessment is a comprehensive review of all the various policies, plans, programs, and procedures in the City that assist in hazard mitigation activities. This portion of the document provides an understanding of the capabilities and tools currently available to the City, as well as local, state, and federal agencies that contribute to hazard reduction. Using a Capabilities Assessment Worksheet, CSG will work with the City to analyze the applicable codes and plans that affect or mitigate the impact of potential hazards in the community. Identifying applicable codes and policies is a critical step to determine the potential impact of hazards. As part of this task, CSG will review the protective measures under the National Flood Insurance Program and local codes and plans that establish hazard mitigation policies or actions.

3.6 Mitgation Strategy
Drawing on the hazard identification, analysis, and assessment of vulnerability and capabilities in the community, the CSG team will prepare a LHMP for the City of Sonora to mitigate exposure to potential hazards. The team will engage with the City in the development and review of goals, mitigation actions, and the draft LHMP. 11 Item 4.

SOW TO THE CITY OF SONORA

DRAFT SCOPE OF WORK FOR LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATES, AND CEQA COMPLIANCE 5 A comprehensive mitigation strategy analyzes a wide
range of actions with multiple forms of mitigation
techniques, including structural projects (buyouts,
elevations, retrofits, etc.), nonstructural projects
(policies, land use regulations, floodplain
management ordinances, etc.), natural systems
protection projects (sediment/erosion control,
stream corridor restoration, wetland restoration/
preservation, conservation easements, etc.), and
educational/awareness programs (real estate
disclosures, websites with hazard information/maps,
mailings to those in hazard-prone areas, etc.).

D E V E L O P M I T I G A T I O N G O A L S
Working with the City, goals to reduce or avoid longterm vulnerabilities to the identified hazards will be developed to adequately communicate desired end
states and provide a foundation for meaningful
hazard mitigation actions.

D E V E L O P M I T I G A T I O N S T R A T E G I E S

A N D A C T I O N S
Working with City staff, mitigation will be developed
to identify actions that will contribute toward the
mitigation goals identified by the City. Mitigation
actions will be developed with consideration for
potential future State or Federal funding through capital improvement bond programs and/or mitigation grant programs. Based on FEMA guidance, “mitigation actions and projects” means a hazard mitigation action, activity, process, or physical project designed to reduce or eliminate the long-term risks from hazards. Mitigation actions are intended to reduce risk to existing buildings and infrastructure, as well as limit any risk to new development and redevelopment.

M I T I G A T I O N A C T I O N P R I O R I T I Z A T I O N A N D M A T R I X CSG will revise the mitigation actions based upon discussions and feedback from the City. The CSG team will develop a process to prioritize identified mitigation actions, such as consideration of the following:
▪ Social acceptance of the mitigation action.
▪ Technical feasibility of the mitigation action.
▪ Administrative staffing, funding, and maintenance required for the mitigation action. ▪ Political acceptability of mitigation action.
▪ Legal authority to implement the mitigation action, or other legal concerns. ▪ Economic benefit of the mitigation action (including cost effectiveness). ▪ Environmental impact of the mitigation action.

Mitigation strategy prioritization and implementation will be discussed as part of the ongoing meetings with City staff.

CSG will work with the City to identify the following information as part of the mitigation actions table:
▪ Responsible Department(s) - the agency/department which will be responsible for the action identified. ▪ Potential Funding Source - sources of future funding that can be used to implement the action. ▪ Priority - general priority of the action (high, medium, low), based on team input. ▪ Relative Cost - the relative cost to implement the action, based on cost categories determined by the City.

The plan maintenance process will be discussed with City staff, including how the City will monitor, evaluate, implement, and update the LHMP. CSG will prepare a chapter that identifies the plan maintenance and implementation steps to ensure the LHMP is implemented and maintained over the five-year plan period. This chapter will describe the methods and schedule for the monitoring, evaluation of, and updates to the plan. The chapter will also describe how the mitigation plan elements will be incorporated into other planning mechanisms, as well as how the public will continue to remain involved throughout the future planning process.

3.7 Plan Submittal and Adoption

P R E P A R E D R A F T L H M P F O R C I T Y R E V I E W Upon completion of the preceding tasks, the CSG team will compile the information into an administrative draft version of the LHMP. The Plan will include all required components, clearly responding to Federal guidance for hazard mitigation plans, including documentation of the planning process. Our approach to working closely with the City has shown to expedite the review process, since City staff will have already seen each part of the LHMP by the time the administrative draft document is complete, and most of their comments have been addressed. We will incorporate City comments in the preparation of an updated public review draft document.

P U B L I C R E V I E W D R A F T L H M P
The CSG team will incorporate comments/revisions in the administrative draft version of the LHMP and prepare the public review draft LHMP. The draft document will be made available to the public for any comment and feedback to be incorporated into the LHMP prior to submission to Cal OES and FEMA for review.

CSG anticipates a 30-day public review period with the LHMP made available on the City's website.

P R E P A R E P L A N S U B M I T T A L FO R C A L O E S/

F E M A R E V I E W
We will compile all comments received on the public review draft LHMP for inclusion as an appendix item and review the comments with the City, as necessary. The LHMP will be revised, as necessary.

The LHMP will then be submitted to Cal OES for initial review; the CSG team will address any comments/concerns from Cal OES before it is submitted to FEMA for formal review. CSG will also prepare the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Plan Review Tool that will accompany the Cal OES and FEMA submission.

O B T A I N A P P R O V A B L E P E N D I N G A D O P T I O N F R O M F E M A If comments are provided by Cal OES and/or FEMA, requiring plan revisions, the CSG team will revise the LHMP prior to adoption by the City. In the past, CSG has successfully completed plans that did not require revisions or required only minor revisions by FEMA prior to adoption, which is CSG’s goal for this LHMP. If revisions are necessary, CSG will work with FEMA to address them to ensure an "approvable pending adoption" (APA) determination.

3.8 Plan Adoption
Once the LHMP has received an APA determination, the CSG team will work with the City to adopt the plan by resolution.

CSG will prepare a presentation template or provide text to support the staff recommendation for use by City Staff. The CSG Project Manager will attend up to two public hearings for adoption of the LHMP. After adoption, CSG will submit proof of adoption to FEMA for final approval. A copy of the Final adopted LHMP will be transmitted to the City.

The City’s current Housing Element was previously certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and will serve as a primary reference for this updated Housing Element. The CSG team will: (1) evaluate the effectiveness of the housing programs, goals, and policies; (2) evaluate the production of housing units at all income categories and identify any potential barriers to housing production; (3) identify housing characteristics; (4) update the Regional Housing Needs Assessment; (5) analyze special housing needs; (6) identify new State Housing Law and programs; and (7) evaluate compliance with recently adopted legislation related to housing elements. The data development will be guided by HCD’s Housing Element Completeness Checklist, dated January 2021.

4.1 Existing Conditions and Needs
The existing conditions and needs assessment will include the following:
▪ Review the City’s current Housing Element, General Plan, and other supporting materials as needed to gain insight and understanding of Sonora’s housing progress and priorities. ▪ Evaluate results from previous housing programs and policies implemented, and their effectiveness. ▪ Research and analyze Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regarding current housing policies and programs.

4.2 Regional Housing Needs Assessment
CSG will update Sonora’s housing assessment and needs analysis pursuant to Government Code Section 65583(a) and SB 375. CSG will obtain and analyze demographic, economic, and housing data for the City and develop a housing needs assessment using State-approved criteria. The assessment will include, but is not limited to:
▪ Population, demographic, and employment trends with accompanying analysis of the existing and projected share of regional housing needs for all income levels; ▪ Housing cost, affordability, housing characteristics, housing stock, and market conditions (including overcrowding and overpayment);
▪ Housing stock characteristics, including at-risk units and vacant and underutilized land; ▪ Potential for increased residential development under existing zoning requirements and General Plan policies; ▪ Special housing needs (e.g., large families, female-headed households, seniors, homeless, people with disabilities, etc.);
▪ Verification with the California Housing Partnership Commission (CHPC) the number of units at risk of conversion to market rate.

4.3 Housing Sites Inventory
CSG will prepare the sites inventory section of the Housing Element, demonstrating how Sonora will satisfy its RHNA requirement. This includes identifying safe assumptions, evaluating sites and analyzing potential policy strategies to increase site capacity, demonstrating development viability (per State law) and inputting the information into HCD’s electronic form for submittal with the updated element. It is anticipated that this will be the most significant area of work for the update process and CSG will need to start early to ensure adequate time for consideration of potential areas for rezoning, or other changes to development standards needed to achieve the RHNA.

4.4 Goals, Policies, Programs and Quantified Objectives CSG will identify goals, policies, programs, and quantified objectives to include in the Housing Element to ensure compliance with State law and effective response to the housing needs, constraints, and key priorities identified through the update process. This task includes ensuring responsiveness to priorities articulated through the community engagement process, as well as addressing internal consistency with other elements of the General Plan. This task will include the identification of other General Plan policy updates or revisions needed to ensure consistency. 14 Item 4.

CSG will prepare, post, and file all the appropriate environmental documents for compliance with CEQA to the Tuolumne County Clerk.

5.0 S A F E T Y E L E M E N T U P D A T E
The Safety Element Update will be prepared concurrently with the LHMP, as much of the data and analysis are shared between both documents, in order to maintain internal consistency.

It is noted that SB 1241 requires that the Safety Element, upon the next revision of the Housing Element on or after January 1, 2014, be reviewed and updated as necessary to address the risk of fire in State Responsibility Areas and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. SB 99 requires an analysis of residential developments without two emergency evacuation routes.
15 Item 4.

SOW TO THE CITY OF SONORA

DRAFT SCOPE OF WORK FOR LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATES, AND CEQA COMPLIANCE 9 Also, SB 379 requires that, upon the next revision of a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) on or after January 1, 2017, or on or before January 1, 2022, if a jurisdiction has not adopted a LHMP, the Safety Element (and other elements as needed) must be updated to address climate adaptation and resiliency. A vulnerability assessment is required to identify climate change impacts relevant to vulnerable populations and assets within the community. The vulnerability assessment output includes a matrix that prioritizes specific climate impacts and vulnerabilities most concerning for the City, which guides the development of the ‘Climate’ section of the Safety Element, and the corresponding goals, policies, and implementation measures. This analysis includes:
▪ Adaptation strategies to prepare for climate change impacts specific to Sonora, such as increased temperatures, drought, wildfire, extreme weather, landslides and subsidence, flooding, and erosion. ▪ Assessment of locations of critical facilities and vulnerable populations, and any need to relocate them outside of at-risk areas, or to implement adaptation measures specific to those assets. ▪ Collaboration with other planning and emergency response agencies.

The CSG team’s update to the Safety Element will include the following:
▪ Conduct outreach to applicable State agencies to assist with the Safety Element update. ▪ Incorporate the vulnerability assessment from the LHMP, which will identify climate effectsrelevant to Sonora, and overlay this data with a list of critical facilities and vulnerable populations most at risk in the community. ▪ CSG will work with the City to determine which hazard types to include in the analysis, with the following hazards anticipated to be included. Analysis will include hazard area, historical events, and potential changes to the hazard type in future years, including likelihood of occurrence and climate change in relation to:
o Seismic and Geologic Hazards
o Flood Hazards
o Fire
o Climate Change
o Hazardous Materials/Waste
o Crime/Law Enforcement
o Aircraft/Transportation Accidents
▪ Evaluate possible constraints to the protection of the public due to the nature of natural and humancaused hazards. ▪ Work with City staff to determine a list of goals, policies, and implementation programs, by hazard topic area, that are viable and effective for the City. This process will involve a comprehensive review of the efficacy and feasibility of the various plans, policies, and programs currently in place, and whether to build them into the updated Safety Element or develop new policies and measures more appropriate for the City. ▪ Prepare comprehensive Safety Element consistent with applicable local plans, including the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, other elements of the General Plan, and the Emergency Operations Plan.

5.1 Vulnerability Assessment
The Vulnerability Assessment will incorporate the analysis presented in Task 3.4 of the LHMP. The Assessment will be used to inform the climate change section of the Safety Element, including the goals, policies, and implementation measures determined for climate change impacts. The Assessment itself, in the form of the scoring matrix, will be included as an appendix to the Safety Element.

5.2 Hazard Analysis and Projection
State guidelines require safety elements to analyze seismic and geologic hazards, fire hazards, flood hazards, and climate change hazards. The CSG team will work with City staff to determine which additional, optional hazard types are relevant for analysisin the Sonora Safety Element. It is anticipated that the analysis will include hazardous materials and waste, crime/law enforcement, and aircraft/transportation accidents. Topics such as drought, critical facilities and utilities, and severe weather will be incorporated into the vulnerability assessment, and, by default, the climate change section of the 16 Item 4.

SOW TO THE CITY OF SONORA

DRAFT SCOPE OF WORK FOR LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATES, AND CEQA COMPLIANCE 10 Element. For each hazard topic, CSG will evaluate the hazard’s geographic area(s), historical hazard events and their impact level/area (i.e., acres burned per fire, etc.), and potential changes to the hazard’s impact in future years based on climate projections, including likelihood of occurrence. CSG will coordinate with the appropriate City departments to gather data regarding historic events and understand capabilities and limitations for safety and protection in Sonora.

In compliance with State guidelines, the following areas will be addressed for the required hazard topics:
▪ Seismic and Geologic Hazards – seismic hazards, geologic hazards, and potential changes to seismic/geologic risks in future years
▪ Flood Hazards – flood hazards, (dam) inundation areas, historic flooding, and potential changes to flood risk in future years
▪ Fire – wildfires, wildland-urban interface fires, structural fires, fire responsibility areas, past occurrences, potential changes to fire risk in future years, and fire protection ▪ Climate Change – impacts and vulnerable populations and assets prioritized by the vulnerability assessment.

5.3 Constraints
CSG will evaluate possible constraints to the City’s ability to protect the public from natural and human-caused hazards. A list of potential factors that may constrain protection of the public, such as unpredictability, economics, boundaries, etc., will be included.

5.4 Goals, Policies, and Implementation Measures
Based on the results of the analyses described above, CSG will work with City staff to determine goals, policies, and implementation measures relevant to each hazard area that are feasible and effective for the City. This process will include a comprehensive review of the effectiveness of current plans, policies, and programs within the City for the protection of the public. CSG will also work with the City to review current mitigation capabilities, including staffing, funding, and other resources, to understand the limitations and opportunities relevant to the policies and measures of the updated Safety Element. Where appropriate, goals, policies, and measures from the previous Safety Element may be incorporated into the updated Element, however, new goals, policies, and measures will be necessary to address the addition of climate change impacts and the increased severity of other hazard topics.

5.5 Comprehensive Safety Element, Submittal and Adoption CSG will use the above research, analyses, and goals and measures to prepare a comprehensive Safety Element. The Element will be consistent with local plans, including other General Plan elements, the Emergency Operations Plan, and the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The LHMP will be incorporated by reference, given the overlap in data gathering, research, and analysis between the LHMP and the required Vulnerability Assessment. The Vulnerability Assessment scoring matrix will be included as an appendix.

The draft Safety Element will be submitted electronically for staff review. The City will be responsible for collecting all staff comments into a single document using Microsoft Word’s track change's function, from which CSG will revise the administrative draft and complete the Screencheck Draft Safety Element for final City review. Based on staff comments on the Screencheck Draft, we will produce the Draft Safety Element for public review.

CSG will compile all comments received on the public review draft Safety Element for inclusion as an appendix item, and review the comments with the City, as necessary. The Element will be revised, as necessary, then the Element will be submitted to the California Geological Survey (CGS) and the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection for review, as required by the State before adoption. If comments are provided by CGS or the State Board of Forestry, requiring revisions, CSG will revise the Element prior to adoption by the City.

During the public hearing process, the Planning Commission and City Council may direct revisions to the Element.

Following the final City Council hearing, CSG will make the directed revisions. Because the extent of the revisions cannot be known at this time, we have provided an allowance that assumes revisions will be minor (based on the fact that both bodies will have reviewed the Element during the study session and our prior experience with such documents). 17 Item 4.

Adoption of the updated Housing and Safety Elements is considered a “project” under CEQA and is subject to CEQA review. CSG will prepare a program-level analysis to evaluate the potential environmental impact of the project. Based on our understanding of the nature of the project and the characteristics of Sonora, we believe it is very unlikely that the project would require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), due to the lack of potentially significant adverse and unavoidable impacts that would stem from the project. Also, we have not recommended the preparation of any technical studies due to the very limited potential impacts expected from the project.

Provided below is our scope for the preparation of an Initial Study that would lead to a Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), or, if no mitigation measures are needed, a Negative Declaration. In addition, CSG will be responsible for preparing all notices and mailings for SB 18 and AB 52.

P R E P A R E A D M I N I S T R A T I V E D R A F T I S / M N D CSG will use the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G Standard Environmental Checklist for the Initial Study analysis of the project. CSG will provide thorough and comprehensive answers to each IS checklist question, which will be supported by tables, figures, maps, and graphics as appropriate with source information being referenced. The IS/MND document will include the following elements:

Introduction
CSG will define the purpose and organization of the IS/MND and the need for the IS pursuant to CEQA Guidelines. The intent is to provide the CEQA lead agency (the City of Sonora) and the public with detailed information about any project environmental effects and any measures required to mitigate potentially significant impacts.

Existing Conditions and Project Description
The existing physical conditions in the City will be described to establish baseline conditions for the project. CSG will formulate an accurate and well-defined project description identifying all characteristics of the proposed elements, focusing on the goals and policies, and how they are structured to avoid adverse environmental conditions. The project description will then be compared to the existing conditions and serve as the basis for all subsequent analyses of environmental impacts, thus becoming an essential component of the environmental document.

CEQA Checklist Issue Areas
CSG will use the IS checklist questions, relevant Thresholds of Significance, and City of Sonora policies to determine potentially significant impacts. Mitigation measures and/or avoidance and minimization measures will be recommended to reduce potentially significant impacts to less than significant levels, as necessary. An electronic copy of the Administrative Draft IS/MND will be provided for staff review. Under this task it is anticipated that there will be two rounds of review/ revisions for the Administrative Draft IS/MND.

P U B L I C R E V I E W D R A F T I S / M N D
Following receipt of City comments from the second round of review of the Administrative Draft IS/MND, CSG will prepare a “proof check” draft that incorporates all City comments. CSG will then submit the proof check draft to the City for final review. Upon approval of the proof check document, CSG will finalize the Public Draft IS/MND, as well as the CEQA Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt a (Mitigated) Negative Declaration. CSG will be responsible for the distribution, via certified mail, of the NOI and the IS/MND based upon a City-provided list of public agencies and interested entities. CSG will also submit the NOI and IS/MND, with required forms, to the California State Clearinghouse. Under this task, CSG will post the NOI with the Tuolumne County Clerk. The budget for this task assumes that the distribution copies of the IS/MND document (up to 30) will be provided on Compact Disks (CD).

DRAFT SCOPE OF WORK FOR LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, HOUSING AND SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATES, AND CEQA COMPLIANCE 12 CEQA Guidelines Section 15097 requires a lead agency to prepare and implement a Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program (MMRP) for all mitigation measures adopted as part of a MND to ensure the mitigation measures are implemented as prescribed by the CEQA document. CSG will prepare a MMRP pursuant to Section 15097 of the State CEQA Guidelines that will be a table of all the mitigation measures included in the IS/MND. The City of Sonora will use the table to track the implementation and monitoring of the mitigation measures. For each measure, the responsibility for ensuring proper implementation will be identified along with the timing and method of verification.

Within five working days of City approval of the project and adoption of the IS/MND, CSG will provide a Notice of Determination (NOD) to the City. Following the City’s approval of the NOD, CSG will file it with the Tuolumne County Clerk’s Office and the State Clearinghouse.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 17, 2023
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Melissa Eads, City Administrator
Douglas L. White, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Consider approval of Resolution No. 07-17-2023-A, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Sonora Approving and Adopting (1) a List of Properties Designated as Critical Infrastructure Properties and Authorizing the City Administrator to finalize and (2) a Map of Critical Infrastructure Properties Pursuant to Section 9.61.020, Subdivision (D), of the Sonora Municipal Code RECOMMENDATION:

Consider approval of Resolution No. 07-17-2023-A, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Sonora approving and adopting (1) a list of properties designated as Critical Infrastructure Properties and authorizing the City Administrator to finalize and (2) a map of Critical Infrastructure Properties pursuant to Section 9.61.020, Subdivision (D), of the Sonora Municipal Code.

BACKGROUND:

On July 5, 2022, the City of Sonora (“City”) adopted Ordinance No. 844, adding Chapter 9.61, Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Fire Severity Zone, of Title 9, Public Peace, Morals, and Welfare to the Sonora Municipal Code (“SMC”). The stated purpose of Chapter 9.61 is “to mitigate the threat of fire and other potential causes of destruction and damage to and interference with critical infrastructure to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public, by authorizing the removal of persons and their personal property in, on, or near critical infrastructure.” (SMC, Section 9.61.010.) Section 9.61.020, subdivision (D), defines "Critical infrastructure" as including “real property or a facility… that the City Administrator designates as being so vital and integral to the operation or functioning of the city or in need of protection that its damage, incapacity, disruption, or destruction would have a debilitating impact on the public health, safety, or welfare.” (SMC, Section 9.61.020(D).) DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS:

This resolution will approve and adopt both the Critical Infrastructure Properties List and the Critical Infrastructure Properties Map, in accordance with the purposes of Section 9.61.020, subdivision (D), and authorize the City Administrator to take the necessary steps to finalize those documents.

In accordance with Section 9.61.020, subdivision (D), the City Administrator, in consultation with consultants, planners, and other third parties, has prepared both a list and map of real property or facility sites within the City to be designated as “so vital and integral to the operation or functioning of the city or in need of protection that any damage, incapacity, disruption, or destruction” to those properties or facilities “would have a debilitating impact on the public health, safety, or welfare of the 20 Item 5.
{CW130797.2}
City” (the “Critical Infrastructure Properties List”), which is attached as Exhibit A to the proposed resolution. A map depicting the Critical Infrastructure Properties has also been prepared and is being finalized. The resolution authorizes the City Administrator to approve that map when it is complete.

The Critical Infrastructure Properties List and Map include properties that are related to utility services, educational facilities, local government buildings, and hospitals. Limiting the activities that may occur near these facilities ensures that City residents can access and use these facilities when they are needed, especially in the event the facilities are needed to respond to an emergency.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City will bear the cost of enforcing the Critical Infrastructure Protection Ordinance. The Critical Infrastructure Protection Ordinance authorizes the City to recover the cost of abating camping and use of camping paraphernalia near critical infrastructure. Practically, however, the recovery of abatement costs can be difficult.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

The Resolution is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Control Act. (Cal. Pub.

Resources Code Section 21065)
OPTIONS:

1. Adopt the Resolution.

2. The City Council may continue the item and request additional information and analysis from staff; or

3. Reject the Resolution.

FROM: Rachelle Kellogg, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Community Development Department Report for June 2023

RECOMMENDATION
Receive the Community Development Department Report for June 2023

DISCUSSION
In addition to the day-to-day operations of the Department, staff completed the following items:

HOUSING ELEMENT & SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATE – The Housing and Safety Elements are two of the seven State mandated Elements within the City’s General Plan. They both have specific content requirements and mandated timelines for updates. The City’s current Housing Element was adopted in December of 2019 and will expire in June of 2024. The updated Element must be reviewed and approved by the State Department of Housing and Community Development prior to adoption by the City. The Safety Element must be updated in coordination with the Housing Element. It must be submitted to the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection for review and approval prior to its adoption. The Housing Element must include discussions regarding the availability and adequacy of sites for housing, financial and administrative resources to assist in the development of housing for all income levels, City demographic and housing characteristic information, and finally a list of goals, policies and implementation programs. This Element also identifies the sites available to meet the City’s Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA). The Safety Element identifies natural and man-made hazards that may result in personal injury, loss of life, property damage, or environmental damage. This includes risks associated with a variety of hazards, including seismic activity, landslides, flooding, wildfire, etc. The City is utilizing LEAP and SB2 grant funding to complete the update of these two General Plan Elements. CSG Consulting, who is under contract with the City for planning and inspection services, in coordination with the Community Development Director, will be preparing the updates, conducting public outreach, coordinating State review, and finalizing the documents for adoption. The draft Elements are to be submitted to their respective State agencies in December 2023 for their initial review and comments. Staff anticipates that the agencies will require modifications to the documents before they can be adopted by the City which must occur by June of 2024.

WASHINGTON-STOCKTON TRANSIT PROJECT – Construction activities continue on the Transit Project.

The major infrastructure improvements have been completed on the north side of Stockton Street and the project has now shifted to the south side of the street. Staff continues with project oversight, submittal reviews, coordination with Caltrans and various other agencies.

CITY ENGINEER PROCUREMENT – Staff is currently preparing the required Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to hire an engineering firm to serve as the City Engineer and oversee various engineering projects within the City. In order for the City to utilize this firm on future Caltrans funded projects the City must comply with all Caltrans requirements related to this procurement. There are also several documents that must be approved by Caltrans prior to releasing the RFQ and prior to awarding the contract. Staff anticipates that the RFQ will be released in August with proposals due to the City in early September. 29 Item 7.
