CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 16, 2023
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Melissa Eads, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Main Drain Condition Assessment
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Accept Main Drain Field Inspection and Condition Report as complete.

2. Direct staff to continue to collaborate with Caltrans regarding funding/construction of short-term and long-term improvements

3. Direct staff to report back to Council within 60 days on implementation status.

BACKGROUND:

The Main Drain serves as the principal stormwater conveyance system for large areas southeast of Stockton Street and on either side of Washington Street, Stewart Street, and Restano Way. The Main Drain consists of approximately 1,200 ft of stacked rock (stone) tunnel, 650 ft of 18-inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, 3,100 ft of 24- to 36-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP), 75 ft of 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), and 100 ft of concrete culvert. The stone tunnel component of the Main Drain is over 150 years old and is now located below SR-49, parking areas, buildings, and City streets.

The City contracted with Dewberry Engineers Inc. to conduct field inspections and to prepare a condition assessment report to provide options for repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of critical areas within the Main Drain.

DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS:

The assessment project was divided into two phases: 1) a confined space drone inspection of the lower Main Drain (stone tunnel) was conducted on 1 June 2023 and 2) a closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection of the Main Drain storm drain pipelines was conducted on 10 July 2023. Results of the inspections were summarized in two technical memoranda which are included as appendices in the Summary Report that was provided to Council. The Summary Report provides more detail and information on the findings and recommendations. The following are key items for Council’s information.

The stone tunnel portion of the Main Drain appears to be in adequate condition considering the tunnel is over 150 years old. It should be noted that the drone was not able to access the full length of the rock lined tunnel. Four different locations with a total of approximately 145 feet were unable to be accessed.

The stone tunnel, however, is starting show its age. The drone inspections revealed five areas of collapse along the length of the stone tunnel. These areas are located as follows, and as indicated on Attachment 1 (Figure 3):

1. 40 ft north of Entry 1

2. 20 ft south of Entry 2
4 Item 3.
{CW132324.4}

3. 65 ft south of Entry 3

4. 85 ft south of Entry 5

5. 65 ft south of Entry 10
The first four of these collapse areas are minor in nature. The fifth collapse area is of concern because this section of failed tunnel is approximately 10 to 12 ft and the west wall and lid of the tunnel at this location are missing. It appears that only the arching effect of the soil above the tunnel is supporting Stockton Street/ SR-49. At this same location, settlement in the roadway above the tunnel can be seen and has been previously marked by the City as a location of potential tunnel failure. Because Caltrans currently has ongoing construction activities, including the use of heavy machinery and trucks occurring directly adjacent to this section of failed tunnel, a letter was forwarded to Caltrans on 2 June 2023, recommending the portion of the road above this section of collapsed tunnel be blocked off from traffic and this location of the tunnel be exposed and repaired in the very near future.

Fifteen improvements are recommended for rehabilitation or replacement of the Stone Tunnel (ST) or Storm Drain Pipelines (SDP) as follows, and as indicated on Attachment 2 (Figure 10):

A 10-year capital improvement program (CIP) was developed considering the severity of the existing conditions of the various sections. The CIP is divided into four tiers of projects with Tier 1 focused on repairs/rehabilitation of collapsed sections of the stone tunnel and construction of relief storm drains to alleviate historical street flooding. Reconstruction of the stone tunnel below Stockton Street by Caltrans is assumed during Tier 1. Tiers 2-4 progressively upgrade the Main Drain on either side of Washington Street combined with storm drain pipeline improvements further south along Stewart Street and Washington Street. Complete replacement of the stone tunnel including bypassing of segments beneath buildings is accomplished at the end of Tier 4. 5 Item 3.

Over the 10-year period, based on the findings from the recent inspections, the construction estimate for all projects is $9.6 million in today’s dollars. Estimates by project are located in the Summary Report.

The next steps in the implementation of the Main Drain improvements include the following:

1. Confirmation with Caltrans of the schedule for reconstruction of the stone tunnel beneath Stockton Street and possible collaboration on future storm drain improvements.

2. Preparation of a drainage study to determine the required conveyance capacity of the Main Drain during significant storm events. Sizing of the Main Drain to meet peak flow requirements.

3. Identification of funding sources for the recommended CIP.

4. Comprehensive mapping of the Main Drain to determine vertical/horizontal locations.

5. Development of preliminary engineering documents to more fully define project elements and to refine probable costs.

6. Preparation of environmental documents to support the drainage improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Fiscal impact will be identified as fiscal year budgets and projects (engineering studies, environmental studies, engineering design, and construction) are scheduled as well as determining if any outside funding sources are available to the City.

CITY OF SONORA

MAIN DRAIN FIELD INSPECTION AND CONDITION ASSESSMENT
TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 3.0R1

SUMMARY REPORT
October 2023
The Sonora Main Drain (Main Drain) serves as the principal stormwater conveyance system for large areas within the City of Sonora (City), southeast of Stockton Street (SR-49) and on either side of Washington Street, Stewart Street, and Restano Way. The Main Drain consists of approximately 1,200 ft of stacked rock (stone) tunnel, 650 ft of 18-inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, 3,100 ft of 24-36 inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP), 75 ft of 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), and 100 ft of concrete culvert. The stone tunnel component of the Main Drain is over 150 years old and is now located below a state highway (SR-49), parking areas, buildings, and City streets. The limits of the Main Drain are illustrated in Figure 1.

Certain limited sections of the stone tunnel have experienced collapses based on photographs compiled from authorized and unauthorized individuals accessing the Main Drain. Collapses of the sidewalls of the stone tunnel have prompted concerns regarding the overall integrity of the Main Drain and the possibility of a catastrophic failure of the system, particularly below SR-49. These concerns have been shared with Caltrans staff, resulting in a subsequent action by the City to initiate a field inspection and condition assessment of the Main Drain. The field inspection and condition assessment was accomplished in two stages. During Stage 1, a confined space drone inspection of the lower Main Drain including the stone tunnel was completed (see Appendix A). For the upper reaches of the Main Drain primarily consisting of pipelines, CCTV inspections were accomplished under Stage 2 (see Appendix B).

The City requested assistance from Dewberry Engineers Inc. (Consultant) to conduct the field inspections and to prepare a condition assessment report of the Main Drain which could then serve as a basis for possible repair, rehabilitation, or replacement options.

Utilizing the services of HRL LLC dba Hovrtek (Drone Operator), the Consultant completed Stage 1, a confined space drone inspection of the lower Main Drain on 1 June 2023, with the results of the inspection summarized in TM 1.0, Main Drain Field Inspection and Condition Assessment. TM 1.0 was submitted to the City on 6 July 2023.

The Consultant completed Stage 2, a closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection of the Main Drain storm drain pipelines on 10 July 2023 utilizing the services of 360 Pipelines Inspections, LLC (360 Pipelines). The results of the inspection were summarized in TM 2.0, Field Inspection and Condition Assessment of Storm Drain Pipelines. TM 2.0 was submitted to the City on 24 July 2023. 17 Item 3.

October 2023 u:\50164767 - main drain insp-assmt - ci sonora\documents\tm3r1 summary report\2023-10 report.docx Both TM 1.0 and TM 2.0 were reviewed with City staff on 28 July 2023 with comments incorporated subsequently into TM 3.0, Summary Report for future action by the City. TM 3.0 was submitted to the City in August 2023. TM 3.0R1 reflects City comments and is organized as follows: 1) Summary of Background Information, 2) Overview of Field Inspection Procedures, 3) Results of Main Drain Inspections, 4) Summary of Condition Assessment, 5) Recommended Main Drain Improvements, 6) Implementation Plan. Each element is detailed below.

1.0 SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The original construction of the lower end of the Main drain followed the path of a drainage course discharging to Sonora Creek. The alignment of the lower end of the Main Drain falls within Caltrans right of way on Stockton Street (SR-49), crosses City properties, and lies within private properties on either side of Washington Street. Buildings have been constructed over the Main Drain with foundations designed to accommodate the stone tunnel. Elements of the Main Drain have collapsed in the past, most recently in 2019, and required replacement/reconstruction with concrete box culverts or CMP. Despite the age, the Main Drain continues to serve as the principal storm drain conveyance system to Sonora Creek with multiple connections to storm drain laterals and pipelines along Washington Street.

As shown in Figure 1, the network of storm drain pipelines upstream of the stone tunnel element of the Main Drain generally consists of three principal segments of 24- to 36-inch diameter pipelines along Washington Street, Stewart Street, and within private properties east of Stewart Street to Shepherd Street. The three segments converge at William Street with a single 36-inch pipeline connection to the stone tunnel in the rear parking lot of the Sonora Area Foundation Building.

Most of the storm drain pipelines are CMP with limited reaches of RCP and HDPE pipe. A summary of the storm drain pipelines is presented in Table 1 as designated in Figure 2. 19 Item 3.

2.0 OVERVIEW OF FIELD INSPECTION PROCEDURES
Visual inspection of the stone tunnel was accomplished by a drone piloted by HRL. The drone entered/exited the stone tunnel at multiple access points as illustrated in Figure 3. Although manned confined space inspection was not planned as part of the stone tunnel inspection, because some limited personnel entry at the access points might be required to facilitate the launching/retrieval of an inspection drone and a CCTV camera, a standby confined space rescue team was onsite during all inspection activities. The standby confined space rescue team, furnished by Rescue Solutions, consisted of two rescue technicians (fire department personnel) trained as CPR/EMS first responders and certified in confined space rescues. The confined space rescue team was equipped with ropes and hardware for anchoring and rigging retrieval lines, multi-pod Sked/Stokes litter, SCBA/supplied air, hard line communication, radios, air monitoring equipment, and ventilation fan. The confined space response team was prepared to implement the safety and rescue plan if required during an emergency.

City forces assisted in the removal of grates, storm drain manhole covers, inlet covers, and other obstructions that limited access to the stone tunnel. Any required right of entry to private property to access the stone tunnel was obtained by the City. The drone camera was monitored continuously by the drone pilot and a structural engineer from the Consultant. As the drone inspection work progressed, the structural engineer directed the drone pilot to stop at locations of concern (structure sloughing, blockage, damage, etc.) to mark the location and take additional video of that particular location. The intent of the video feed monitoring was to form an opinion of the overall condition of the tunnel and note the locations and number of areas of concern within the tunnel to determine the overall magnitude of the existing problems. Dimensions of the areas of concern were approximated but not physically measured. A video file of the stone tunnel inspection was created including accompanying narration to highlight key observations and comparisons to historical information regarding the stone tunnel condition.

Field inspections of storm drain pipelines were accomplished by 360 Pipelines using a CCTV camera. The periphery of each storm drain pipeline was televised using a pan and tilt resolution camera with 10x/12x digital zoom with automatic iris, 530 lines of resolution, and one lux sensitivity to light. The camera was attached to a six-wheel, steerable crawler with backeye camera for maneuvering past obstacles. Where sharp bends were encountered, a push/rod reel with high-resolution, digitally zoom 3x self-leveling axial color camera with shadow-less adjustable illumination up to 12K lux with footage counter was employed. Insertion of the CCTV camera into the storm drain system occurred at eleven locations as illustrated in Figure 4.

City forces assisted in the removal of grates, storm drain manhole covers, inlet covers, and other obstructions that limited access to the storm drain system. Any required rights of entry to private properties to access the storm drain were obtained in the City. 22 Item 3.

October 2023 u:\50164767 - main drain insp-assmt - ci sonora\documents\tm3r1 summary report\2023-10 report.docx The CCTV inspection team included the 360 Pipelines Inspection Manager, City Engineer, Public Works crew, and Consultant. The City Engineer directed the 360 Pipelines Inspection Manager on what pipe alignments to survey depending on their age and usage history. No parking signs were posted in the areas of CCTV entry by the City prior to the inspection. The City Public Works crew was responsible for opening and closing the entry points of the drainage inlets and manholes. The Public Works crew also barricaded the area around the entry points and redirected traffic as required.

The 360 Pipelines Inspection Manager parked a van next to each opening and inserted the steerable crawler into the entry point. Depending on the pipe material, the steerable crawler had to exchange wheels ranging from largest to smallest. The 360 Pipelines Inspection Manager controlled the vehicle from their van through a computerized system. The 360 Pipelines Inspection Manager then documented the results of the inspection in an electronic, high-resolution MPG-4 color video recording including image files and a National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) defect coding database report. CCTV inspections occurred over a two-day period from July 10-11, 2023. The results of the CCTV inspection are discussed in the remaining sections of the TM.

3.0 RESULTS OF MAIN DRAIN INSPECTIONS
Inspections of the Main Drain stone tunnel and storm drain pipelines were conducted on 1 June and 10 July 2023, respectively. The results of the Main Drain inspections are discussed below.

3.2 Storm Drain Pipelines
The CCTV inspection of the storm drain pipelines was a collaborative effort of the 360 Pipelines Inspection Manager, City Engineer, City Public Works Department, and Consultant. While the Inspections Manager documented the condition of the pipelines, the Consultant recorded general observations along the pipeline alignments. In general, the storm drain system is in fair condition with a limited number of significant structural defects. A more detailed discussion of the pipeline condition assessment is found in the following section.

4.0 SUMMARY OF CONDITION ASSESSMENT
A condition assessment of the stone tunnel and storm drain pipeline components of the Main Drain follows below.

4.1 Stone Tunnel
Based on the drone inspections conducted in the field on 1 June 2023, the stone tunnel portion of the Main Drain appears to be in adequate condition considering the tunnel is over 100 years old. It should be noted that the drone was not able to access the full length of the rock lined tunnel. There were four locations where the tunnel was too narrow for the drone. These locations included:

1. 30 ft north of Entry 3

2. 47 ft south of the Entry 4

3. 26 feet north of Entry 4

4. 41 feet north of Entry 9
Over time, portions of the stone tunnel have been:

1. Replaced with a concrete box culvert at the segment between Entry 5 and Entry 6

2. Resurfaced with shotcrete between Entry 7 and Entry 8

3. Replaced with CMP north of Entry 9

4. Replaced with a concrete box culvert south of Entry 10 The stone tunnel is starting show its age. The drone inspections revealed five areas of collapse along the length of the stone tunnel. These areas were described previously and are located as follows:

1. 40 ft north of Entry 1

2. 20 ft south of Entry 2

3. 65 ft south of Entry 3

4. 85 ft south of Entry 5

October 2023 u:\50164767 - main drain insp-assmt - ci sonora\documents\tm3r1 summary report\2023-10 report.docx use of heavy machinery and trucks occurring directly adjacent to this section of failed tunnel, Consultant submitted a letter to the City which was forwarded to Caltrans on 2 June 2023, recommending the portion of the road above this section of collapsed tunnel be blocked off from traffic and this location of the tunnel be exposed and repaired in the very near future.

In addition to the noted collapsed areas, there are also locations where old steel doors are supporting the top of the tunnel. These steel doors are located:

1. Between Entry 1 and Entry 2

2. Between Entry 6 and Entry 7

3. Between Entry 7 and Entry 8
These steel doors are showing a significant amount of corrosion.

There is also timber planking supporting the top of the tunnel just south of the concrete box culvert located south of Entry 10.

4.2 Storm Drain Pipelines
The findings from the CCTV investigation were compiled onto Figure 6. The investigation confirmed existing pipe diameter and conditions. Observations were graded using NASSCO PACP standards including the severity of any structural defects or operation and maintenance defects for each pipe segment. A grade was expressed with a letter followed by a digit. The letter represented -5.

attention, either the pipe has failed or likely to fail within the next five years according to NASSCO PACP.

As seen in Figure 7, the deteriorated condition of the following components of the storm drain pipe network are of concern:

5.0 RECOMMENDED MAIN DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS
Based on the condition assessment documented earlier, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement options for the stone tunnel and storm drain pipelines are presented below.

5.1 Stone Tunnel
With the exception of the collapsed portion of the tunnel below Stockton Street/SR-49, there are not areas within the rock tunnel portion of the Main Drain that need immediate repairs. The City should, however, develop a plan to:

1. Repair the four additional collapsed portions of the tunnel

2. Replace the steel door lids and timber planking

3. Bypass the sections of the rock lined tunnel located below the various buildings

4. Replace the entire rock lined tunnel
A discussion of each recommendation follows below. The locations of recommended improvements are illustrated in Figure 8.

1. Collapsed Tunnel Repairs
The collapsed sections of the rock line tunnel should be repaired within the next two to three years. Most of the collapsed sections noted by the drone inspection are within a street or parking area and can be accessed from above grade. Because the repair work needed for these collapsed areas below grade would be confined space work and very difficult, these areas should be exposed from the ground and the collapsed section be replaced with either a concrete box culvert of similar hydraulic cross section to the tunnel or a reinforced concrete pipe culvert. As part of the repairs of these collapsed sections, the City should consider replacing the full segment of the rock lined tunnel between the adjacent Entry points. The full segment replacement may prove to be more economical in the long run for the full replacement of the rock lined tunnel.

2. Steel Door and Timber Planking Lid Replacement
The steel lids accessible from above grade should be replaced within the next two to three years.

These areas can be exposed from the ground and the steel doors and wood planking replaced with either concrete slabs that span over the rock lined tunnel or these sections of tunnel can be replaced with a concrete box culvert of similar hydraulic cross section or a reinforced concrete pipe culvert. As part of the replacement of these doors and wood planking, the City should consider replacing the full segment of the rock lined tunnel with a concrete box or pipe culvert between the adjacent Entry points. The full segment replacement may prove to be more economical in the long run for the full replacement of the rock lined tunnel.

3. Bypass Rock Lined Tunnel Below Buildings
The portions of the rock lined tunnel that passes below the adjacent buildings should be bypassed within the next five to ten years. The Main Drain passes below five buildings. At one of the crossings, the rock lined tunnel has been replaced with a concrete box culvert. The other crossings remain as a rock lined tunnel. Repairing or replacing these segments of the Main Drain would be difficult at best. As a result, these segments of the Main Drain should be bypassed with a new culvert that bypasses the storm water flow around each building. Once 42 Item 3.

City of Sonora Main Drain Field Inspection and Condition Assessment Page 27 TM 3.0R1 Summary Report
October 2023 u:\50164767 - main drain insp-assmt - ci sonora\documents\tm3r1 summary report\2023-10 report.docx bypassed, these sections of the existing rock lined tunnel would be filled with grout to prevent future collapse.

4. Full Rock Lined Tunnel Replacement
Due to the age of the rock lined tunnel portion of the Main Drain, the entire rock lined tunnel should be replaced within ten years. This would include replacing the portions of the tunnel that are not replaced as part of the first three repair recommendations. The more segments of the rock lined tunnel that are replaced as part of the first three repair recommendations will make this final recommendation more affordable.

5.2 Storm Drain Pipelines
For the areas of concern illustrated in Figure 7, the following recommendations are offered:
a. Pipelines to be removed and replaced:
1) 150 ft of 24-
2) 150 ft of 36-
3) 20 ft of 12-
4) 30 ft of 24-
b. Pipelines to be rehabilitated:
1) 50 ft of 18-
2) 40 ft of 12- e 2.
c. Storm drain relief pipelines to be constructed:
1) 440 ft of 24-inch HDPE along the easterly curb of Washington Street between William Street and Gold Street.
2) 520 ft of 30-inch HDPE along the easterly curb of Washington Street between Gold Street and Church Street.
3) 640 ft of 48-inch HDPE along the easterly curb of Washington Street between Church Street and Stockton Street and along the easterly curb of Stockton Street. 4) 1,190 ft of 24-inch HDPE along the westerly curb of Stewart Street between 470 Stewart Street and Church Street.
5) 160 ft of 24-inch HDPE in Church Street between Stewart Street and Washington Street.
6) 260 ft of 18-inch HDPE in alley east of Stewart Street.

Relief sewers are recommended to mitigate historical flooding and to reduce flows within certain segments of the stone tunnel. Storm drain pipeline improvements are illustrated in Figure 9. 43 Item 3.

6.0 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Based on the results of the field inspections and condition assessment, thirteen improvement projects were identified for the Main Drain. A suggested implementation plan is summarized below including a discussion of phasing of improvements and possible next steps.

6.1 Phasing of Improvements
A ten-year capital improvement program (CIP) is recommended to complete the Main Drain improvements. The CIP is divided into four tiers of projects with Tier 1 focused on repairs/rehabilitation of collapsed sections of the stone tunnel and construction of relief storm drains to alleviate historical street flooding. Reconstruction of the stone tunnel below Stockton Street by Caltrans is assumed during Tier 1. Subsequent Tiers 2-4 progressively upgrade the Main Drain on either side of Washington Street combined with storm drain pipeline improvements further south along Stewart Street and Washington Street. Complete replacement of the stone tunnel including bypassing of segments beneath buildings is accomplished at the end of Tier 4. The various tiers and projects are illustrated in Figure 10 and summarized in Table 3.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 16, 2023
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Chris Gorsky, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Consider approval of Resolution No. 10-16-2023-A, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Sonora Authorizing the City Administrator to execute an agreement to Purchase a Ravo 5 iSeries Street Sweeper.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council consider approval of Resolution No.10-16-2023-A, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Sonora to authorize the City Administrator to execute an agreement to purchase a Ravo 5 iSeries Street Sweeper. The City can purchase the sweeper outright or enter into a lease-purchase agreement, staff recommends the City purchase the sweeper outright and save $38,891 in interest.
 Purchase for an estimated total of $309,379.
 Lease-purchase for an annual budgeted amount of $116,090 for three years with 6.16% interest, at the end of the three years the City will own the equipment without any additional costs.

DISCUSSION
The City’s current street sweeper is at its end of life. The sweeper has been in constant use for more than twenty years, purchased in 2001, and now has issues with rust and holes, has had chronic hydraulic leaks, and non-functional air conditioning. The equipment has required extensive annual servicing, is constantly out of service and will soon be non-compliant with the State of California’s Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations for diesel engines in support of their clean air goals. The current sweeper will be surplused as soon as it is replaced.
53 Item 6.

Staff has reviewed what is needed by the City and had a demonstration of the proposed street sweeper, the Ravo 5 iSeries Compact Sweeper, see brochure for more information. This has all the features needed, including a larger hopper than the current unit. Some of the improved features include air conditioning, very low noise levels, a fine dust filtration system and a 360-degree camera for safety. The quote includes all setup and training. The vendor is in Sacramento and will provide maintenance and any warranty work at our facility. As with the new leased patrol vehicles, the annual maintenance is expected to be much less than the more than twenty-year-old equipment the City operated in the past. Annual maintenance is expected to be a fraction of what the City has spent on the current sweeper.

Street sweeping keeps city streets looking well-kept by collecting and removing paper, leaves, and other debris that collect in gutters and streets. This minimizes the risks of blocked storm water facilities that may result in localized flooding during heavy rains. The City also sweeps Highway 49 and is reimbursed by the State for this service. The current reimbursement is approximately $9,300 annually.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Street Sweeper was sourced through a Sourcewell contract. Sourcewell is a service cooperative that was established with the statutory purpose of assisting public agencies in meeting specific needs which are more efficiently delivered cooperatively than by an entity individually. Sourcewell is authorized to establish competitively awarded cooperative purchasing contracts on behalf of itself and its participating agencies. Sourcewell follows the competitive contracting law process to solicit, evaluate, and award cooperative purchasing contracts for goods and services.

There is no impact to the General Fund. The funding for the Street Sweeper is funded by Measure I revenues, which is the ½ cent special sales tax passed by City Voters in 2004. These funds were specifically to provide funding to replace aging Public Works equipment. As of October 1, 2023, there is $521,176 available in the Public Works Measure I account. The Street Sweeper has a price of $309,378.55, of this amount $154,000 was budgeted for in the current FY23/24 budget requiring an additional budget change of $155,379 in order to purchase the equipment outright.

Sonora Police Department 2022 Annual Military Weapons Report 3 Preface:

The Sonora Police Department is committed The service we deliver to the residents, merchants, and visitors of Sonora are in keeping with the highest traditions of public safety. Safeguarding life and property is the Sonora Police Department’s highest priority and we pledge to carry out this obligation through compassion, dignity, and equality to every individual. Our actions will be distinguished by professionalism, fairness, and diligence.

The equipment listed in this annual report are essential tools that may be required from time to time to aid in deescalating intense situations or bringing volatile conditions and critical incidents to a safe resolution. The mere possession of this equipment does not warrant its use in every circumstance. With this indispensable equipment, the men and women of the Sonora Police Department continue to stand ready to accomplish our mission of driving the crime rate down and improving the quality of life in the City of Sonora. 78 Item 7.

Sonora Police Department 2022 Annual Military Weapons Report 4 Summary:

On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB-481, requiring law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, City Council, by adoption of a military equipment use policy. The Sonora Department was required to seek City Council approval of their military equipment use policy by ordinance at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. The bill allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.

The approval is subject to annual City Council review to determine whether, based on an annual military equipment report, the standards set forth in the approving ordinance have been met. The City Council may renew the authorizing ordinance, disapprove authorization for particular military equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the military equipment use policy to address any non-compliance with standards. Finally, the bill requires publication of the military equipment use policy and the annual military equipment report on the Department’s website.

AB-481, Section 7072 states the following: (a) A law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The law enforcement agency shall also make each annual military equipment report required by this section publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use.

Within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing an annual military equipment report pursuant to this section, the law enforcement agency shall hold at least one well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.

In addition to maintaining the highest levels of public safety, the Sonora Police Department is committed to transparency, public trust, community partnerships, 79 Item 7.

Sonora Police Department 2022 Annual Military Weapons Report 5 and compliance with the law. As such, the Sonora Police Department has authored the following 2022 Annual Military Equipment Report in accordance with annual reporting requirements set forth in AB-481. This report covers the usage and reporting requirements for the proceeding Calendar year (2022) 80 Item 7.

Sonora Police Department 2022 Annual Military Weapons Report 6 Introduction:

The Sonora Police Department retains a small complement of defined military equipment to assist in safely achieving its mission statement of driving the crime rate down and improving the quality of life in the City of Sonora. Our trained men and women know that the mere possession of the equipment does not warrant its use for every incident. The Sonora Police Department recognizes that critical incidents are unpredictable and can be very dynamic in nature. A variety of equipment options can greatly assist incident commanders, officers, and specific units in bringing those incidents to a swift resolution in a safe manner.

Military equipment is restricted for use only in certain instances. There may be instances wherein unpredictable critical incidents demand the need for incident commanders to authorize defined military equipment to be used in a manner not outlined within Department policy. In scrutinizing those particular instances, the judgment of the incident commander influenced by the totality of the circumstances, public safety, officer safety, civil rights, and information available at the time will be used. It is incumbent upon incident commanders, supervisors, and individual officers to recognize the particular circumstances wherein military equipment should be employed to enhance the safety of the public and officers, and to bring a critical incident to a safe resolution. This Annual Military Equipment Report outlines a summary of military equipment usage guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, and complaints for 2022.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 16, 2023
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Melissa Eads, City Administrator
Douglas L. White, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Provide Direction to Staff regarding the Use of Remote Meeting Attendance Platforms such as Zoom at City Council Meetings.

RECOMMENDATION:

Provide direction to staff regarding the use of Zoom or other similar remote meeting attendance platforms during City Council meetings. To ensure that City Council meetings are not unduly interrupted, City staff recommends that the use of Zoom or other remote meeting attendance platforms be limited to City staff and consultants attending a City Council meeting remotely, and not be allowed for public comment via Zoom unless a City Council member is participating in the meeting via Zoom.

BACKGROUND:

Recently, there has been an increase in instances of members of the public anonymously interrupting city council meetings through virtual attendance platforms such as Zoom. Currently, the City of Sonora (“City”) allows public participation in City Council meetings via Zoom at all City Council meetings, whether a City Council member is attending the City Council meeting remotely or not.

DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS:

The Brown Act is California’s statutory “open meetings” requirement, focused on providing transparency at the local government level. The Brown Act requires, among other obligations, that “legislative bodies,” a category that encompasses city councils, include in “[e]very agenda for regular meetings…an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest to the public, before or during the legislative body’s consideration of the item, that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body,” as well as an opportunity to comment during special meetings.1 The Brown Act also requires that all regular and special meetings be held in the physical presence of the public, with limited exceptions.2 During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, AB 361 allowed for meetings to be held entirely virtually.
3 Under the provisions of AB 361, virtual meetings were required to permit live public comment via the internet.4 AB 361 became inactive in February of 2023 when the State of Emergency associated with the COVID-19 pandemic expired. Since the expiration of AB 361, City Council members have only been allowed to participate in meetings virtually under certain

2 Gov. Code, § 54953.
3 Gov. Code, § 54953(e)(1).
4 Ibid.
87 Item 8.
{CW133469.2}
circumstances.5 Under the revised Brown Act requirements upon the expiration of AB 361, when a member of the City Council teleconferences into a meeting, the opportunity for public comment must also be available virtually.6
At a meeting that all City Council members participate in person, there is no requirement that members of the public be allowed to comment virtually. The Brown Act requires merely that the public be permitted to directly address the City Council, and notes that the “legislative body…may adopt reasonable regulations” for streamlining public comment.7
Currently, the City permits public comment in a variety of ways including live comment via Zoom. Because public comment provided via Zoom was not an option for public comment at City Council meetings prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, it would be reasonable regulation to prohibit the public from commenting via Zoom, while allowing participation by City staff and consultants to participate remotely. Limiting public comment via Zoom helps to ensure that City Council meetings are not disrupted in a manner that prevents the City from conducting its business. Remote participation by City staff and consultants allows the City to have staff participation at City Council meetings where staff may be unable to remain at City offices on evenings when City Council meetings occur and saves the City money where consultants would otherwise travel to City Council meetings and charge the City for travel. The requirements for virtual public comment are only triggered if a City Council member participates remotely, and do not apply to City staff or consultants.

The City Council may also consider directing that during times that Zoom or some other remote meeting attendance platform is used, the public would be able to view the meeting via Zoom but would be unable to provide comments. This would allow the public to attend and observe City Council meetings in a remote environment but would address concerns about disruption of City Council meetings via Zoom.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

None.

OPTIONS:

1. Provide direction to staff regarding the use of Zoom or other remote meeting attendance platforms for future City Council meetings.

2. Decline to limit remote participation and continue utilizing Zoom or other remote meeting attendance platforms that has been the City’s practice since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
