Designate a signatory for the Program Participation Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The Sierra Nevada Energy Watch (SNEW) no-cost program expands energy efficiency and renewable energy use in the Sierra, empowering local action, eliminating barriers to a clean energy future, establishing climate resiliency, and saving communities money.

SNEW serves Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, El Dorado, Lassen, Mariposa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sierra, Sutter, Tuolumne, and Yuba counties.

DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS:

Municipalities typically enroll in SNEW to receive staffing capacity to plan and assess energy use, manage, and complete energy efficiency projects, as well as track and navigate funding opportunities.

Sierra Business Council staff will assist the City in finding qualified energy efficiency installers and help manage projects from start to finish.

The SNEW program is funded through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) public purpose program charge on your PG&E bills, therefore our services are provided at no cost.

SERVICES OFFERED:
 Preliminary On-Site Energy Audits
 Energy Use Analysis: Building Energy Use Benchmarking  Energy Efficiency Project Management
 Contractor Referrals
 Funding Solutions: Incentives, Rebates & Interest-Free Loans  Education and Training

SNEW is funded through PG&E’s Local Government Partnership program, which is funded by the California utility customers and administered by PG&E under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission. As the current SNEW program contract with PG&E runs through December 31, 2025, SNEW services for the participating customer will end at this date unless otherwise terminated, or extended by mutual agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no cost to participate in the program and no requirement that any energy upgrades are made.

The initial commitment is simply to crunch the numbers and determine if there is a savings to be had or a program the City may qualify for.

Item 3.
{CW132324.4}

Consider directing staff to:

1. Submit the required paperwork to extend the project delivery deadline from June 2024 to June 2028.

2. File a Deed Restriction for Woods Creek Park consistent with State Park Program requirements.

3. Amend the project description to include Pickleball striping and net to create a joint use on the half-court slab with the previously proposed basketball hoop.

BACKGROUND:

The Per Capita Program originates from the California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access For All Act of 2018 under Proposition 68 which was approved by voters on June 5, 2018. The bill authorized the issuance of new bonds and reallocation of unissued bonds to finance a drought, water, parks climate, coastal protection, and outdoor access for all programs. The Per Capita Program provides local park rehabilitation, creation, and improvement grants to local jurisdictions. Projects must be for a recreational purpose. The grant is administered through the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The Per Capita funds are allocated to entities based on population.

Previously approved elements of the project include:

1. Construction of a Basketball Court.

2. Removal and replacement of the shade structure*.

3. New Playground surfacing.

4. Play equipment.

5. Other Minor Elements in support of recreation.
*The shade structure has already been removed for safety reasons.

DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS:

With the retirement of long-time Community Development Director, Rachelle Kellogg in December 2023, this project has been delayed slightly due to the hiring and orientation of her 18 Item 4.
{CW132324.4}
replacement. While staff is proposing a project extension beyond June 2024, the intent is for this project to be delivered as soon as is practical and well before the extension deadline.

The City can’t be reimbursed for Woods Creek Park expenditures until the Deed Restriction is in place. The City has $177,952 for this project and reimbursable spending is expected to begin as soon as the Deed Restriction has been recorded. The shade structure was previously removed as indicated above at a cost of $8,376. This expense has not yet been reimbursed.

The Council previously approved putting this project out to bid, and pending the Council's decision on the inclusion of Pickleball as an element of this project the bid process will begin as soon as the plans have been modified to include this activity.

What is Pickleball?
“Pickleball is a racket or paddle sport in which two players (singles) or four players (doubles) hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball with paddles over a 34-inch-high (0.86 m) net until one side is unable to return the ball or commits a rule infraction. Pickleball is played indoors and outdoors.

It was invented in 1965 as a children's backyard game in the United States. In 2022, pickleball was named the official state sport of Washington.[2]
While it resembles tennis and table tennis, pickleball has separate rules, paddles, and court dimensions, making it a different sport. The court is 44 feet (13.4m) long and 20 feet (6.1m) wide, and the paddle is larger than the one used in table tennis. The hard plastic ball used in pickleball produces less bounce than tennis balls. The minimal amount of bounce, the non-volley zones, and the underhanded stroke with which all serves are made give the game a dynamic pace. “Between 1965 and 2020, pickleball became a popular sport in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and began to grow in popularity elsewhere. In 2021, 2022, and 2023, the sport was named the fastest-growing sport in the United States by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, and by 2023 it was estimated to have over 4.8 million players. The growing popularity of the sport has been attributed to its short learning curve, its appeal to a wide range of ages and fitness levels, and its low startup costs.” (Excerpted from Wikipedia, bolded section is mine).

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no additional cost to amend the plans for Wood Creek Park which were previously created by Jerry Fucillo. The City has retained his services to assist on projects such as this one.
