Resolution 2022-XXX
Adopted by the City of South Lake Tahoe
City Council
March 15, 2022
DECLARING SURPLUS LAND INVENTORY
BACKGROUND
A. Under the Surplus Land Act (“SLA”), Government Code Sections 54220-54234, surplus property is defined as land owned by any local agency no longer necessary for the agency’s use.
B. Effective January 1, 2020, the SLA was amended to add requirements that local agencies must comply with prior to selling or leasing agency-owned property; and in April 2021, the California Department of Housing and Community Development adopted SLA Guidelines to implement and interpret the SLA. One of the requirements is to formally declare publicly owned property no longer necessary for the agency’s use as surplus land and report this inventory of surplus land to HCD.
C. The City and South Lake Tahoe Successor Agency owns twenty-one (21) properties located throughout the City, listed in Exhibit A, that are suitable for future disposition and development (the “Surplus Properties”); thirteen (13) of which qualify as “exempt surplus land” that need not follow certain notice and negotiation requirements prior to disposition.
D. The City intends to follow the provisions of the SLA in the disposition of public lands.
E. A declaration of surplus land and exempt surplus land, and the issuing of notices pursuant to the SLA for surplus land, is a process adopted in State law with the intent of ensuring the prioritization of affordable housing, including noticing and opportunity to respond, for affordable housing developers.
F. This declaration of surplus land and exempt surplus land does not obligate the City to subsequently dispose of the land and, depending on the response to the notices and other factors, the City could still decide not to move forward with disposition of specific properties.
BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of South Lake Tahoe:
1. Finds that the surplus properties and exempt surplus properties listed on Exhibit A are no longer necessary for the City’s use, which findings are set forth in Exhibit A to this Resolution.
2. Finds and determines that this action results in no binding commitment by the City to authorize or advance the disposition of any of the surplus properties or exempt surplus properties; will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment; and does not constitute an “approval” of a “project” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15004 and 15352.
3. Authorizes the City Manager to issue Notices of Availability for the surplus properties that are compliant with the State SLA.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 15, 2022
Title: FY 2021-22 Mid-Year Budget Review and Five-Year Financial Plan Update Location: All Departments
Responsible Staff Members: Joseph Irvin, City Manager
Olga Tikhomirova, Director of Finance
Background: The annual Mid-Year budget review is an essential element in maintaining the City’s financial stability. It provides the City Council an opportunity to make adjustments and operational corrections based on unanticipated changes and the goals and priorities of the City Council for the current fiscal year and helps shape the development of next year’s budget.
During the mid-year process the City Manager and staff review the City’s fiscal condition and make recommendations to amend appropriations if necessary. The budget amendments recommended by staff are intended to address unanticipated items or events that may have occurred in the first half of the fiscal year. The proposed amendments also include adjustments due to reorganizational changes to staffing needed to address goals and initiatives included in the Strategic Plan adopted by the City Council on March 2, 2021.
Based on recommendations from financial experts and the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) indicating the need for public agencies to conduct long-term financial planning, since 2011 the City has been annually producing a Five-Year Financial Forecast to provide the public and the City Council with information from which to consider financial and policy recommendations.
In preparing the financial forecast, the City considers a wide variety of economic indicators to estimate revenues and expenditures over the five-year period. This multi-year examination of the City’s financial outlook allows for strategic discussions and planning ensuring the financial stability of the City. Financial stability allows the City to provide the community with core services, infrastructure and facility improvements, and address City Council Strategic Priorities.
Issue and Discussion: As part of the Mid-year Budget review it is important to assess economic conditions at national, state and local levels to ascertain what effects these may have on the City’s revenues and expenses.
The U.S. economic recovery from COVID-19 has been steady but highly dependent on and influenced by a series of rapidly changing factors involving new waves of COVID-19 infections, labor market challenges, supply-chain constraints, rising inflations, and international politics. The GDP grew 5.7% in 2021 after decreasing 3.4% in 2020. This growth combined with global supply chain constraints, has pushed inflation higher than expected, 7% year-over-year at the start of 512
Council Agenda Report March 15, 2022 Page 2 of 8
2022. Consumer prices were 7.5% higher in January 2022 than in January 2021, the largest 12- month change in 40 years. The national unemployment rate was just 3.9% at the end of 2021, down from 6.4% at the start of the year. California’s economy suffered more during the pandemic, as some speculated, due to stricter anti-COVID-19 mandates than in other states.
The economy is recovering but the unemployment rate continues to be elevated at 6.5% in December 2021. Labor supply issues continue to be the biggest constraint on employment expansion. The unemployment rate for South Lake Tahoe was 5.2% in December 2021.
Forecast by economists for 2022 shows that the economic recovery will continue, but high inflation could spark rising interest rates and falling home prices, with an increasing likelihood of recession – possibly at the end of 2022 or even the start of 2023.
The City has been challenged by most of the same factors as at the state and national levels while dealing with its own challenges caused by fires, evacuation, impacts of snow storms and elevated housing prices. In the past two years, the COVID-19 crisis had a significant impact on the City operations. The vast portion of staff time and effort was shifted away from the implementation of City Council Strategic Priorities. Nevertheless, staff put in an extensive effort to continue working on those priorities making significant progress on many of them as evidenced from the City Manager’s report.
Five Year Financial Plan Update
The Five-Year Financial Plan Update analyzes major know fiscal conditions and projected future conditions to support informed long-term planning and decision making regarding operational and capital improvement resources.
The Plan is focused on the City’s General Fund and provides an updated forecast of revenues and expenditures over the five-year period from fiscal year 2022-23 through 2026-
27. Key highlights of this Five-Year Financial Plan update include:
Revenues are forecasted based on current economic trends and estimates. o In 2022-2023, two of the City’s major revenues (Property tax and sales tax) are projected to exceed 2019 pre-COVID levels by approximately $2.0m in total. o City TOT projection includes an estimated loss of $1m due to Measure T VHR ban.
o The plan assumes the usage of approximately $1.2m in FY 2023 (increasing 3% moving forward) from Measure S sales tax fund to pay for seven Firefighters previously funded by the SAFER grant and 50% of the Deputy Fire Chief/Fire Marshal position.
o Parks and Recreation Revenues were reduced in FY 2022 and 2023 due to the Rec. Center closure and reduced campground occupancy.
o The plan assumes an early pay-off of the parking garage bonds and possible transfer of $850K of projected available revenue into the General Fund starting in FY 2024.
Expenditures:
513
Council Agenda Report March 15, 2022 Page 3 of 8
o Majority of personnel and operating expenditures are projected to increase between 2% and 3% annually.
o FY 2022 personnel cost includes one extra pay period which occurs approximately every 7-8 years.
o Approved to date one-time large capital expenditures are removed moving forward.
o No major capital expenditures, such as road rehabilitation or vehicle replacement, are included in the main General Fund due to projected funding by Measure S sales tax general fund starting in FY 2022. o Pension cost assumes a prepayment of CalPERS Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) annually in July, saving the City approximately $200K. o Projected 2022-23 and forward includes the cost of the proposed with mid-year two unfrozen Maintenance Technician positions.
The table below presents a summary of the General Fund Five-Year Financial Plan update as of March 2022. The 2021-2022 amended budget reflects the use of $3.4 million from undesignated excess reserves, before mid-year adjustments. At September 30, 2021, the undesignated excess reserves amounted to $10.5 million, excluding the required 25% reserve of $12.0 million for FY 2022.
The preliminary estimates for FY 2022-2023, that include assumptions previously listed in the Key Highlights section, indicate the General Fund deficit of $1.1 million for the upcoming budget year. Fast growing personnel cost contributes to on-going deficit, absorbing projected revenue increases.
Finance department will begin the next fiscal year budget process in April 2022 and will make every effort to reduce and eliminate the FY 2022-2023 projected deficit. Staff will continue examining various, creative ways to achieve the balanced budget in the upcoming years while continue implementing the City Council Strategic Priorities.
Measure S Sales Tax General Fund Five-Year Projections
Measure S sales tax is projected to generate between $6.5m and $6.8m annually for the next five years. The preliminary projected uses for FY 2023 include:
$555K for communications system financing and $32K for the system extended warranty;
$2.2m total for Fire Station II Rehabilitation and Staffing, including 50% for Fire Marshal position;

Mid-Year Budget Review
2021-2022 mid-year budget adjustments include the proposed usage of the City’s FY 20/21 net revenues. The General Fund ended the year with undesignated excess reserves of $10.5 million.

The reclass changes are proposed to take effect on April 2nd. Unfreezing two (2) Maintenance Technician (MT) positions – one for Facilities and one for Streets/Snow Removal divisions. The cost increase to the general fund in the current year for 5 months is approximately $37.3K for one position. The cost for the second MT position is funded from the available fund balance in the Streets fund for the remainder of the current fiscal year. Starting next fiscal year, 25 percent of one of the unfrozen positions will be funded by the State snow removal reimbursement. The total annual cost to the City’s general fund for two positions in the first full year is approximately $157K and will grow at a rate of 5-7 percent per year Reclassification of Capital Improvement Projects Manager to Capital Program and Facilities Program Manager - $4.4K for six months.
Reclassification of Stormwater Program Coordinator to Complete Streets Program Manager - $6.5K for six months.
Airport Manger salary realignment within the department - $6.6K for six months; in FY 21/22 funded from available Airport fund balance.
Various internal promotions of experienced Maintenance Technicians in Streets division - $5.2K funded from available fund balance in the Streets fund.

$52,520 increase in Expense for the transfer out to Fire Communication system CIP project for the shortage of the original project cost revenue coverage.
Cannabis Grant Program
The Cannabis Revenue Grant Program process and guidelines are presented to the City Council on March 15th, 2022. The City will solicit proposals for funding from local schools, government agencies and non-profit organizations with programs and projects designed to mitigate potential impacts of the cannabis industry in South Lake Tahoe. According to the Cannabis Community Benefit Fee Revenue Allocation Policy, that states that City Council will allocate up to 50 percent of the previous year’s revenue to the new Community-wide Benefit Grant Program during a mid-year budget process, staff has proposed to appropriate $400,000 to be made available for the cannabis revenue grant program for this fiscal year.
The total Cannabis Development Agreement revenue collected in the previous fiscal year 2020/2021 was $1,177,868. The expenditures totaled $619,709 and included $200,000 Contributions to the Boys and Girls Club of South Lake Tahoe approved by City Council on May 18, 2021.

$400,000 increase in Expense for appropriations towards Cannabis Revenue Grant Program for FY21/22.
COVID-19 Small Business Sustainability Loans Forgiveness On March 1st, 2022 City Council passed a motion to implement loan forgiveness for 52 COVID-19 Small Business Sustainability (SBS) Loans approved in January 2021. The loans were issued to assist eligible small businesses, many of which were forced to shut down or had limited operations for an extensive period during 2020, experienced a significant loss of revenues, a reduction in workforce, and that received little to no financial assistance during the pandemic, to continue operations and grow beyond the pandemic. The proposed funding source for expending the loan cost is a portion of unallocated first tranche of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.
$377,500 increase in Revenue and Transfers Out to appropriate a portion of the ARPA funding into revenue account and transfer out to the General fund towards the extinguishment of the outstanding 52 COVID-19 SBS loans receivable.

CIP
Increase in various CIP revenues and expenses. These CIP projects are funded by transfers from the General Fund and Measure S General Fund as described earlier in this report.
Enterprise Funds

Financial Implications:
At September 30, 2022, the FY 2021-22 current budget is projected to have a year-end deficit of $3.4m. The recommended mid-year budget adjustments will result in an increase of $3.1m in the deficit. Sufficient September 30, 2021 ending fund balance of $10.5m is available to cover the budget deficit. After adjustments for grant match set-aside and the proposed midyear budget adjustments, the ending General Fund undesignated excess reserves balance is expected to be approximately $3.5m.
Completion of the 2021-2022 mid-year budget process will ensure continued operations through the end of the fiscal year and will allow City staff to continue the implementation of the City Council priorities.
The General Fund Five-Year Financial Plan update represents an analysis of the economic factors driving the City’s revenues base, specific revenue sources available to the City, and the projected known obligations at the time of the plan update preparation. Multi-Year Financial Planning is required as part of the City’s Financial Policies (Financial Planning) and is an essential tool for developing the budget guidelines and for evaluating the future impact of current year decisions.
Policy Implications:
Compliance with City Financial Policies: Budget Management, Section E and Financial Planning, Section B.

Circular Letter
January 5, 2022
Circular Letter: 200-006-22
Distribution: IV
To: All Public Agency Employers
Subject: Required Contribution Impact Due to Changes in Actuarial Assumptions Purpose
The purpose ofthis Circular Letter is to inform you of system changes which will impact employer and some member contribution rates. On November17, 2021, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) Board of Administration voted to keep the discount rate at 6.8% and selected a new asset allocation for the fund'sinvestment portfolio for the next four years. Additionally, new demographic and economic actuarial assumptions were adopted.
Background
The changes adopted by the board represent the culmination of nearly four years of work on the asset liability management (ALM) process. The ALM process is an integral part of the CalPERS 2017-22 Strategic Plan to fund the system through an integrated view of pension assets and liabilities and to improve long-term pension and health benefit sustainability. This process was conducted as a joint effort by the Investment, Actuarial, and Financial offices. Throughout the entire process, and particularly over the last year, CalPERS team members have engaged extensively with stakeholdersto obtain their input. This process included an examination of the risk and/return characteristics of possible asset allocations as well as modeling the impact these asset allocations would have on the funding of the system.
In July 2021, the discount rate was lowered from 7.0% to 6.8% automatically due to the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy (PDF). That action was prompted by the announcement that the rate of 532
Circular Letter: 200-006-22
January 5, 2022
return for fiscal year (FY) 2020-21 was 21.3%. The new asset allocation chosen by the board in November2021 has an expected long-term rate of return of 6.8% per year.
The completion of the ALM cycle also coincided with a review of all actuarial assumptions used in the actuarial valuations through a process called an experience study. An experience study is a summarization of actual system experience overa defined period and, along with future expectations, is used in setting new actuarial assumptions. Experience studies which include reviews of both economic and demographic assumptions are required at least every four years under the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. The previous study was conducted in 2017.
Discussion
The adopted changes to the actuarial assumptions are expected to increase slightly near-term employer contributions requirements. However, when the expe cted impact of the investment gain for FY 2020-21 is factored in, many plans will see required employer contributions that are comparable to or slightly lower than previously determined contribution requirements. Each plan is unique and contribution impacts will vary across public agencies. Factors that influence the impact of these changes include the benefit structure, the demographics of the plan members, and the funded status of the plan.
While most demographic assumptions were changed, the changes that are expected to have the most material impact on required contributions are slightly longer life expectancies for retirees and beneficiaries, earlier than expected retirement ages for certain safety groups, and higher expected future pay increases for some groups.
All newly adopted assumptions will be implemented in the June 30, 2021 Public Agency actuarial valuations, setting employer contribution requirementsfor FY 2023-24. 533

PEPRA Member Rates
With the enactment of the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) new benefits were established for new public employeesin California hired on or after January 1, 2013.
PEPRA membersthat are employed by public agencies are required to contribute 50% of the total normal cost oftheir pension benefit as determined by the actuary. However,the PEPRA memberrate is not adjusted unless the PEPRA total normal cost changes by 1% of payroll or more.
Below is a table which illustrates the estimated impact on the total normal cost from the changes in actuarial assumptions including the discount rate change. Ifthe change to the Total Normal Cost is 1% or greater, PEPRA memberswill pay half of the increase.

Title: Authorization to submit a joint Grant Application with El Dorado County to the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) for Middle-Mile Broadband Implementation along US 50 and 89
Location: US 50 and 89 Corridor in City of South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County Responsible Staff Member: Joe Irvin, City Manager (530) 542-6043 Anush Nejad, Director of Public Works (530) 542-6031
Background: The City of South Lake Tahoe has been in discussion with El Dorado County for submittal of a joint grant application to the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) for the implementation of a middle-mile broadband system along US 50 and 89.
In 2018, El Dorado County embarked on a Broadband Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study. NEO Connect was selected by the County to complete this study. On June 30, 2020, the El Dorado County Board provided directed staff to apply for a grant from the EDA. The grant was for priority areas within the County and included projects up to $4.5 million. The county staff completed all requirements of the submission and is in the final steps of receiving a formal grant offer. The project areas are Garden Valley, Georgetown, and Cool.
Issue and Discussion: On August 24, 2021, the El Dorado County Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to continue conversations with the City of South Lake Tahoe to pursue the City’s portion of the matching funds from South Lake Tahoe segments, primarily along US 50 and 89. The County Chief Administrative Officer and City Manager have been in discussion for collaboration and matching fund share for the project.
In accordance with City policies, the Public Works staff is requesting authorization to pursue the grant mentioned above for the US 50 and 89 projects, including the anticipated match funding requirement.
Financial Implications: NEO Connect has developed a draft grant plan that extends along US 50 and 89 as shown on the attached map. The County will be applying for the Fiscal Year 2021 American Rescue Plan Act under the Travel, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation grant.
The proposed project his proposal will benefit approximately 2,342 parcels in the City of South Lake Tahoe and 147 parcels in the County for a total of 2,489 parcels that would benefit from this project. The estimated cost of this project is approximately $6.0 million. 538
Council Agenda Report March 15, 2022 Page 2 of 2
The EDA grant funds typically require a 20% match. Therefore, the total required matching fund is $1.2 million for the project. Therefore, the recommended matching fund share between the City and County would be 94% for the City and 6% for the County. The matching fund portion for the City will be $1,128,000.
City staff has researched the use of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) as a matching fund since EDA is also a federal program. Based on the review of EDAs’ grant information, if the applicant is using the “Revenue Reduction” component of the ARPA funding, then the ARPA funds can be used as a match. Therefore, staff recommends using the currently allocated $200,000 for the FY 2021 allocation of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) and the balance of the funds or $928,000 from the FY 2022 allocation of the SLFRF funds.
Since the project will involve the installation of a conduit system inside the Caltrans Right of Way and would ultimately require a Caltrans Encroachment Permit, we have reached out to Caltrans to join in this partnership and submit the joint grant application.
Environmental Considerations: The grant project will require compliance with CEQA and NEPA requirements, which will a part of the final design and environmental clearance. It is expected that this project will receive a Categorical Exclusion clearance.
Policy Implications: These projects advance the City Council Strategic Priorities and Goals, specifically:
Action Item 1.1 (Broadband for All) connects the community via high-speed internet to serve the needs of local businesses, residents, attract remote workers to the Region and seek appropriate funding opportunities to assist in the evaluation of bringing broadband infrastructure to South Lake Tahoe. 539

Title: Authorization to Submit two Grant Applications for Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Program Location: Citywide for the Complete Streets Programmatic Master Plan (See Map) Ruby Way/Overlook Court Neighborhood (See Map)
Responsible Staff Member: Anush Nejad, Director of Public Works (530) 542-6031 Jason Burke, Stormwater Program Coordinator (530) 542-6038 Background: The Public Works Department has identified two projects that are high-priority projects for the City to address environmental and mobility issues in the City. These projects are excellent candidates for the 2022 Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant. The RAISE Grant is a part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) that was recently passed by the U.S. Congress.
Funds for the FY 2022 RAISE grant program are to be awarded on a competitive basis for surface transportation infrastructure projects that will have significant local or regional impacts. BIL authorized and appropriated $1.5 billion for FY 2022 for the Local and Regional Projects Assistance Program. In addition to the capital investments, the Department of Transportation (DOT) will award at least $75million eligible planning and design projects. US DOT will also award at least $15 million for projects in areas of historically disadvantaged communities, which includes a portion of South Lake Tahoe.
These grants are supportive of projects that improve safety, economic strength, and global competitiveness, equity, and climate and sustainability goals of US DOT. RAISE program also includes projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are designed with specific elements to address climate change impacts environmental justice, particularly for communities that disproportionally experience climate changerelated consequences. The minimum grant for rural projects is $1million (urban areas are census-designated areas with a population greater than 200,000 in the 2010 Census). The grant applications are due on April 14, 2022, and awardees will be notified by August 1, 2022. Typically, the matching funds for these grants is a 20% local match.
In accordance with City policies, the Public Works staff is requesting authorization to pursue the grant mentioned above for the following projects, including the anticipated match that these grants would require.
546
Council Agenda Report March 15, 2022 Page 2 of 3
Issue and Discussion: City staff have identified two FY 22 RAISE Grant projects.
1. Complete Street Programmatic Master Plan. This would be a planning study to develop a Programmatic Master Plan to address flooding, drainage, and water quality issues, mobility, and access improvements for historically Disadvantaged Communities in the City of South Lake Tahoe and create a Programmatic Master Plan for Complete Street Design Plans in the City. The Complete Streets Concept is one of the goals of US DOT and consistent with TRPA recommendations to address infrastructure and mobility upgrades. The project will review the underlying drainage issues in the City and specifically develop a Complete Streets Master plan for the disadvantaged areas (approximately 50% of the City).
The Complete Streets Programmatic Master Plan will seek to address aging or inadequate underground infrastructure (drainage, water supply, and sewer) at the same time as providing above-ground mobility, safety, and accessibility streetscape improvements. By ensuring that underground infrastructure is updated to protect Lake Tahoe from urban runoff pollution, broadband needs are considered, water supply and fire flow systems are updated, and aging sewer conveyance system issues are resolved before surface mobility improvements are constructed, the master plan will ensure the City's 'dig once' approach to infrastructure upgrades are considered in this comprehensive approach to Complete Streets project planning. The project goal is to address mobility and alternative transportation modes in the City. It would also identify locations for EV charging stations in the project area.
The project's outcome will include a master plan for complete streets implementation and the required environmental documents and design plans to advance these projects to the construction phase.
2. Ruby Way/Overlook Court Erosion Control and Mobility Improvement Project. This project will address environmental and mobility issues in the Ruby Way/Overlook Court neighborhood. The project directly benefits this historically Disadvantaged Community by reducing flood risk that dramatically impacts residents within low-income apartments and enhances mobility through bicycle and pedestrian access upgrades. The project area includes a segment of the South Tahoe Greenway Shared Use Trail (Dennis T. Machida Memorial Greenway) in a location that experiences periodic flooding due to the routing of concentrated runoff into eroding and incised channels and failing drainage culverts. The project will improve stormwater quality and reduce flooding in economically and socially disadvantaged neighborhoods.
The project was developed to address hillside drainage problems that would have impacted the future alignment of the South Tahoe Greenway Shared Use Trail (Dennis T. Machida Memorial Greenway) by combining drainage, water quality, and bike path improvements into one comprehensive project. In addition, the project includes climate change mitigation (encouraging active transportation) and climate resilience. 547
Council Agenda Report March 15, 2022 Page 3 of 3
The design of the project is complete; however, currently, there is no funding available for the project's construction. Therefore, this project is near shovel-ready and a good candidate for the Construction Grant.
Financial Implications: The estimated cost of the Complete Streets Programmatic Master Plan is $2.4 million. Staff is recommending $1.92 million in RAISE grant request with 20% matching funds in the amount of $480,000, using undesignated General Funds balance. The estimated construction cost of the Rudy/Way Overlook Court Erosion Control and Mobility Improvement Project is $2 million. Staff is recommending a $1.6 million RAISE grant with a 20% local match in the amount of $400,000, using undesignated General Fund balance.
Environmental Considerations: The Complete Streets Programmatic Master Plan will include the preparation and approval of both the CEQA, TRPA and NEPA environmental documents. The Ruby Way/Overlook Court Erosion Control and Mobility Project have an approved CEQA document, but a NEPA document is required to meet federal requirements if the project is federally funded along with the TRPA Initial Environmental Checklist (IEC).
Policy Implications: These projects advance the City Council Strategic Priorities and Goals, specifically:
Action Item 1.4 (Transportation) to prioritize implementation of trails and complete streets, specifically the Greenway (now named the Dennis T. Machida Memorial Trail),
Action Item 2.3 (Connectivity) to facilitate implementation of trail infrastructure prioritizing the connection of bicycle and walking trails, from neighborhoods to the Dennis T. Machida Memorial Trail and other new and existing trails, and Action Item 5.3 (Infrastructure and Maintenance) actively seeking funding to develop sustainable infrastructure projects based on the prioritized capital improvement project list.

Dear Secretary Buttigieg:
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) supports the application of the City of South Lake Tahoe to the United States Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) competitive grant program for the Complete Street Programmatic Master Plan Project (Project).
The City of South Lake Tahoe requests $1,920,000 through the RAISE 2022 grant with 20% ($480,000) local match funds. The proposed Project is a planning effort that would benefit five (5) Historically Disadvantaged Community census tracks in the City. The master planning effort will develop a Complete Street Program to address flooding, mobility, and access improvements. The Complete Street design plans will enable the City to fund and build sustainable corridors to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), address safety, provide opportunities for mode shift, reduce long-term maintenance costs, and dramatically impacts residents within low-income neighborhoods. The Project addresses safety, environmental sustainability, quality of life, mobility and community connectivity, economic competitiveness and opportunity, innovation, and state of good repair criteria identified with the RAISE grant. In addition, it improves water quality for the Lake Tahoe basin, an environmentally sensitive region, and directly addresses Climate Change and Resiliency.
Caltrans is a significant partner with the City of South Lake Tahoe through the US 50 corridor, with access through the entire City.
Caltrans would like to thank USDOT for its consideration of this Project.
Sincerely,
TOKS OMISHAKIN

Provide available data/exhibits. 25 REDUCE VMT: The purpose of this question is to determine the Project’s VMT impacts. Caltrans is looking to support projects that do not significantly increase motor vehicle travel, particularly in congested urbanized settings where other mobility options can be provided and where projects are shown to induce significant auto travel. These projects should generally aim to reduce VMT and not induce significant VMT growth (CAPTI page 17). In less congested rural areas, highway capacity expansion can be less likely to induce travel. Nevertheless, the benefits and drawbacks of widening roadways in this context must be weighed carefully. Describe how the project proposes to reduce VMT and include alternatives to highway capacity expansion, such as providing multimodal and non-auto mode options in the corridor, employing pricing strategies, and using technology to optimize operations. Describe if the project considers alternatives to general purpose lane, HOV, and HOT lane additions that may potentially induce demand.
Provide available data/exhibits.

Provide available data/exhibits. 29 EXPAND ZEV INFRASTRUCTURE: The purpose of this question is to evaluate the extent to which the project supports and encourages the use of ZEV’s and alternative fuels. Caltrans seeks to support projects that provide and improve access to ZE charging and alternative fueling infrastructure, especially in rural/remote areas and where key gaps in charging/fueling infrastructure exist. Caltrans looks to support rail projects that provide ZE/alternative fuel l freight or passenger rail projects and freight projects that provide ZE truck chargers or alternative fueling. Describe how the project supports the innovation and development of the ZE market and help ensure ZEVs are accessible to all, particularly to those in more rural or remote communities, if applicable. If the project plans to install new ZE infrastructure, indicate the number of units and potential locations being considered. Provide available data/exhibits. 30 ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE: The purpose of this question is to evaluate how the project addresses identified climate risks and implement adaptation strategies/measures to enhance resilience to climate impact(s) that are occurring or anticipated. All projects are required to demonstrate consideration of and consistency with State goals, and where applicable, regional, or local adaptation plans or policies.
Projects on the SHS should reference Caltrans’ products on climate vulnerability, including the Vulnerability Assessments and Adaptation Priority Reports. These data sources may be supplemented as needed to identify climate impacts to adjacent areas beyond the SHS using other State or federal climate data sources. Projected climate impacts for non-highway projects such as passenger/freight rail, seaport, transit, or active transportation projects are not available through Caltrans vulnerability assessments or adaptation priority reports. Those types of projects may use other resources such as Cal-Adapt.org or other local climate data sources to explain vulnerability to a climate change impact. Describe how the project achieves statewide GHG emission reduction targets, increase resilience to climate change, and/or has engaged communities most vulnerable to climate change. Please Indicate if the project area is identified in the District Vulnerability Assessments Report, Adaptation Priorities Report, Corridor Plan, and/or a regional or local climate change adaptation plans. Describe how the project may consider project elements that combat climate change and/or improve existing assets that are potentially exposed to climate change stressors as identified in the aforementioned documents. Describe if the project is identified as an emergency evacuation route or in an emergency plan/hazard mitigation plan and potential improvements using an approach that is supported by state/local emergency services.
Provide available data/exhibits.
31 NATURAL AND WORKING LANDS: The purpose of this question is to measure how the project incorporates nature-based solutions to protect or enhance natural and working lands, which include natural ecosystems and other landscapes like agricultural lands. Specifically, on how the project avoids conversion of natural or working lands to more intensified uses, and/or how it enhances biodiversity. The question also measures how the project supports local and regional conservation planning that focuses development where it already exists, and how the project aligns transportation investments with conservation priorities to reduce transportation’s impact on the natural environment. Response to this criterion is intended to be independent of potential mitigation measures pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or other laws rules or regulations regarding natural resources. Describe how the project proposes to protect natural and working lands from conversion to more intensified uses and enhance biodiversity by supporting local and regional conservation planning that focuses development where it already exists. Describe the extent to which the project may reduce land use development that may consume natural or working lands or focus development that may allow for both development and land preservation. Describe how the project aligns transportation investments with conservation priorities to reduce transportation’s impact on the natural environment. Provide available data/exhibits. 32 INFILL DEVELOPMENT: The purpose of this question is to determine if the Project promotes infill development and land use patterns while protecting residents and businesses from displacement.

Staff Report – March 15, 2022
City of South Lake Tahoe
Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 15, 2022
Title: Amendment No. 1 to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority
Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Joseph Irvin, City Manager (530) 542-6043 Background:
Pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, Government Code Section 6500, et seq. (the “Joint Powers Act”), the City and the Redevelopment Agency in 1989 created the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority (the “Financing Authority”), by entering into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the “JPA Agreement”). Under the Joint Powers Act, the Financing Authority has all of the powers common to its members, as well as additional, independent powers under the Joint Powers Act. The Joint Powers Act authorizes the Financing Authority to assist public agencies, such as the City and its related entities, in the financing and refinancing of public capital improvements.
In the past, the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority has assisted the City in the issuance of 2016 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, as well as 2012 Certificates of Participation, the proceeds of which were used to finance streets and other capital improvements within the City. It is expected that in the future, the assistance of the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority will again be needed to assist the City in securing financing for the construction of new projects, including the new recreation center.
Issue and Discussion:
The former Redevelopment Agency’s interest in the JPA Agreement was assigned to the Successor Agency to the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency by operation of AB X1 26, which enacted the Dissolution Act. The Dissolution Act, as amended by AB 1484, enacted by the State Legislature on June 27, 2012, and as amended further by SB 107, enacted by the State Legislature on September 22, 2015, introduces complications to certain bond financing assisted by the Financing Authority. California Health and Safety Code Section 34187 specifies that the Successor Agency’s existence will terminate within a few months after the final payment of debt of the former Redevelopment Agency (or the disposal of all real property and resolution of all outstanding litigation). The last debt of the Redevelopment Agency matures in 2037, and assuming that all real property has been disposed of and that there is no litigation at the time, the Successor Agency’s existence will terminate within approximately 15 years from now. 570
-2-
Staff Report – March 15, 2022
To finance or refinance public capital improvements of the City and its related entities, it is expected that additional bonded indebtedness or obligations will be issued with the assistance of the Financing Authority, and having terms and maturities extending beyond termination of the Successor Agency. Amendment of the JPA Agreement to add another member is necessary in order to preserve the continued existence of the Financing Authority after the termination of the Successor Agency’s existence. The 2012 Certificates of Participation have a term of longer than 15 years, and the financing for the recreation center Project will have a term of longer than 15 years. Therefore, it is necessary to add the Parking Authority as a member to the Financing Authority to assure the financial feasibility of these important projects proposed to be financed by bonds, as well as other future capital improvement projects of the City.
The attached Amendment No. 1 to the JPA Agreement would add the Parking Authority of the City of South Tahoe as a member of the Financing Authority and withdraw and terminate the Successor Agency as a member of the Financing Authority. Amendment No. 1 would facilitate the continued existence of the Financing Authority beyond the termination of the Successor Agency. In addition, the Successor Agency would no longer be subject to provisions of the JPA Agreement that could require the Successor Agency to contribute funds in the future. To date, no financial contributions have been required from the former Redevelopment Agency or the Successor Agency under such provisions.
Financial Implications:
By withdrawal of the Successor Agency from the Financing Authority, the Successor Agency will no longer be subject to potential financial contribution requirements under the JPA Agreement. By addition of the Parking Authority of the City of South Tahoe to the JPA Agreement, the Financing Authority will continue in existence beyond the termination of the Successor Agency, thereby allowing the Financing Authority to continue to assist the City and its related entities in bond financings for significant public benefits, including (a) demonstrable savings in effective interest rate or bond issuance costs, (b) significant reductions in effective user charges levied, (c) employment benefits from undertaking the project in a timely fashion, or (d) more efficient delivery of local agency services to residential and commercial development.
Environmental Considerations:
None.
Policy Implications:
None.

Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority
BACKGROUND
A. The City of South Lake Tahoe (the “City”) and the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Former Agency”) entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated January 3, 1989 (the “Original Agreement”), establishing the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority (the “PFA”) as a joint powers agency pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Government Code Sections 6500 et seq.) (the “Act”).
B. The Original Agreement was made pursuant to the Act, to provide for the joint exercise of powers common to the members of the PFA, and the establishment of a vehicle to reduce local borrowing costs and promote the greater use of existing and new financial instruments and mechanisms, and undertake the financing of public capital improvements and related capital improvements and the acquisition of real and personal property for the members of the PFA and other public agencies within the State.
C. Pursuant to Part 1.85 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code (enacted by Chapter 5 of the Statutes of 2011, ABX1 26), all redevelopment agencies in the State of California, including the Former Agency, dissolved as of February 1, 2012, the Successor Agency to the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) was established as the successor entity to the Former Agency, and the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency (the “Oversight Board”) was constituted.
D. The Successor Agency is tasked with the wind-down of the Former Agency’s affairs.
E. There has been prepared an Amendment No. 1 to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the “Amendment”), by and among the City, the Successor Agency and the Parking Authority of the City of South Lake Tahoe (the “Parking Authority”), pursuant to which: (i) the Successor Agency will withdraw as a member of the PFA and the Parking Authority will become a new member of the PFA, and (ii) certain provisions of the Original Agreement will be updated.
F. The Successor Agency’s withdrawal as a member of the PFA is in furtherance of the wind-down of the Former Agency’s affairs.
G. The PFA has previously issued bonds, some of which remain outstanding as of the date hereof.
572
Resolution 2022-XXX March 15, 2022 Page 2 of 2
H. The inclusion of the Parking Authority as a member to the PFA will preserve the existence of the PFA (thereby avoiding any disruption with respect to the outstanding PFA bonds), while allowing the Successor Agency to withdraw its membership.
BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of South Lake Tahoe:
1. Approves the form of Amendment No. 1 to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the “Amendment No. 1”), dated as of March 15, 2022, by and among the City, the Successor Agency, and the Parking Authority, and authorizes and directs the Mayor of the City of South Lake Tahoe, for and on behalf of the City, to execute and deliver the Amendment No. 1 in substantially the form on file with the City Clerk and presented to this meeting, with such changes therein as the Mayor of the City Council may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by his execution and delivery thereof; provided however, that such execution and delivery shall occur after the effectiveness (pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179(h)) of the Oversight Board’s resolution approving the execution and delivery of the Amendment No. 1.
2. Directs the City Clerk to cause a copy of the Amendment No. 1 to be filed with the California Secretary of State pursuant to Section 6503.5 of the Joint Powers Act and with the California Controller pursuant to Section 6503.6 of the Joint Powers Act.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT
with respect to the
SOUTH TAHOE JOINT POWERS FINANCING AUTHORITY
This Amendment No. 1 to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (this “Amendment No. 1”) is dated as of March 15, 2022 for reference purposes, and is made by and among the City of South Lake Tahoe (the “City”), the Successor Agency to the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”), and the Parking Authority of the City of South Lake Tahoe (the “Parking Authority”), to amend that certain Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated January 3, 1989 (the “JPA Agreement”).
RECITALS:
A. The Joint Exercise of Powers Act, being California Government Code Section 6500, et seq. (the “Joint Powers Act”), provides that public agencies by agreement may jointly exercise any power common to the contracting parties. The Parking Authority is a “public agency” within the meaning of that term under Section 6502 of the Joint Powers Act, and as such, is eligible to enter into this Agreement.
B. Pursuant to Article 4 of the Joint Powers Act (also known as the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985), an authority created pursuant to Article 1 of the Joint Powers Act has additional, independent powers under the Joint Powers Act, including the power to issue bonds to pay the cost of any public capital improvement, and the power to make secured or unsecured loans to a local agency, including the City and the Parking Authority, in connection with the financing of public capital improvements and to refinance indebtedness incurred in connection with public capital improvements undertaken and completed, and may purchase bonds issued by any local agency at a public or private sale and such bonds may be held by the authority or sold to public or private purchasers at public or negotiated sales.
C. Pursuant to the Joint Powers Act, the City and the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Former Redevelopment Agency”) have heretofore entered into the JPA Agreement, pursuant to which the public entity known as the “South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority” was created.
D. On June 29, 2011, Assembly Bill No. 16 was enacted as Chapter 5 of Statutes of 2011 (“AB 26”), pursuant to which all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were statutorily dissolved as of February 1, 2012, including the Former Redevelopment Agency, and the Former Redevelopment Agency’s interests in and obligations under the JPA Agreement were assigned to the Successor Agency by operation of the law enacted by AB 26, including but not limited to California Health and Safety Code Section 34178(b)(3).
E. California Health and Safety Code Section 34187(b) provides for the dissolution of the Successor Agency within several months of the final retirement or payment of all enforceable 574
-2-
12463-0017\2622699v1.doc
obligations of the Former Redevelopment Agency, disposal of all real property, and resolution of all outstanding litigation of the Successor Agency.
F. There continues to be a need within the City, consistent with the need described in the declarations of the State Legislature set forth in Article 4 of the Joint Powers Act, to expand, upgrade, and otherwise improve the public capital facilities of local government necessary to support the rehabilitation and construction of residential and economic development. The needs of local government for financing these facilities greatly exceed the amount of funds available from existing state, local, and federal sources.
G. The needs of the City to expand, upgrade, and otherwise improve the public capital facilities are expected to continue beyond the termination of the Successor Agency, and bonded indebtedness or other obligations that may be issued with the assistance of the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority are expected to have terms and maturities extending beyond the termination of the Successor Agency, so it is necessary to add the Parking Authority as a member of the JPA Agreement in order to continue the existence of the Authority.
H. The common powers of the City and the Parking Authority include the power to issue revenue bonds for the purpose of financing the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, refinancing, or development of public parking facilities and for the provision of capital improvements in connection with and determined necessary to the public parking facilities; the power to purchase bonds, notes or other obligations; the power to acquire and dispose of real and personal property; the power to pay for the cost of publicly owned improvements in connection with and determined necessary to the public parking facilities; and the power to accept financial assistance from various public sources. The City and the Parking Authority desire to jointly exercise certain powers common to the parties, as set forth herein, including the foregoing and including the expansion, upgrading and improvement of said public capital improvements, and to facilitate the continued existence of the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority, which may also exercise its independent powers authorized by the Joint Powers Act.
I. The Parking Authority desires to enter into this Amendment No. 1 to become a party to the JPA Agreement in furtherance of the Joint Powers Act, including Article 4 thereof, and the Successor Agency desires to withdraw from the JPA Agreement.
J. The inclusion of the Parking Authority as a member to the Authority will preserve the existence of the Authority (thereby avoiding any disruption with respect to the outstanding Authority bonds), while allowing the Successor Agency to withdraw its membership.
K. In furtherance of the purposes of the JPA Agreement and the Joint Powers Act, including Article 4 thereof, and pursuant to Section 16 of the JPA Agreement, the City and the Successor Agency desire to enter into this Amendment No. 1 to: (i) add the Parking Authority as a party to the JPA Agreement, (ii) provide for the withdrawal of the Successor Agency from the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority and the JPA Agreement, and (iii) certain updates to the JPA Agreement, including clarifying changes necessitated by all of the foregoing. 575

Staff Report – March 15, 2022
City of South Lake Tahoe
Report to South Tahoe Redevelopment
Successor Agency
Meeting Date: March 15, 2022
Title: Amendment No. 1 to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority.
Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Joseph Irvin, Executive Director (530) 542-6043 Background:
Pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, Government Code Section 6500, et seq. (the “Joint Powers Act”), the City and the Redevelopment Agency in 1989 created the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority (the “Financing Authority”), by entering into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the “JPA Agreement”). Under the Joint Powers Act, the Financing Authority has all of the powers common to its members, as well as additional, independent powers under the Joint Powers Act. The Joint Powers Act authorizes the Financing Authority to assist public agencies, such as the City and its related entities, in the financing and refinancing of public capital improvements.
In the past, the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority has assisted the City in the issuance of 2016 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, as well as 2012 Certificates of Participation, the proceeds of which were used to finance streets and other capital improvements within the City. It is expected that in the future, the assistance of the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority will again be needed to assist the City in securing financing for the construction of new projects, including the new recreation center.
Issue and Discussion:
The former Redevelopment Agency’s interest in the JPA Agreement was assigned to the Successor Agency to the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency by operation of AB X1 26, which enacted the Dissolution Act. The Dissolution Act, as amended by AB 1484, enacted by the State Legislature on June 27, 2012, and as amended further by SB 107, enacted by the State Legislature on September 22, 2015, introduces complications to certain bond financing assisted by the Financing Authority. California Health and Safety Code Section 34187 specifies that the Successor Agency’s existence will terminate within a few months after the final payment of debt of the former Redevelopment Agency (or the disposal of all real property and resolution of all outstanding litigation). The last debt of the Redevelopment Agency matures in 2037, and assuming that all real property has been disposed of and that there is no litigation at the time, the Successor Agency’s existence will terminate within approximately 15 years from now. 598
-2-
Staff Report – March 15, 2022
To finance or refinance public capital improvements of the City and its related entities, it is expected that additional bonded indebtedness or obligations will be issued with the assistance of the Financing Authority, and having terms and maturities extending beyond termination of the Successor Agency. Amendment of the JPA Agreement to add another member is necessary in order to preserve the continued existence of the Financing Authority after the termination of the Successor Agency’s existence. The 2012 Certificates of Participation have a term of longer than 15 years, and the financing for the recreation center Project will have a term of longer than 15 years. Therefore, it is necessary to add the Parking Authority as a member to the Financing Authority to assure the financial feasibility of these important projects proposed to be financed by bonds, as well as other future capital improvement projects of the City.
The attached Amendment No. 1 to the JPA Agreement would add the Parking Authority of the City of South Tahoe as a member of the Financing Authority and withdraw and terminate the Successor Agency as a member of the Financing Authority. Amendment No. 1 would facilitate the continued existence of the Financing Authority beyond the termination of the Successor Agency. In addition, the Successor Agency would no longer be subject to provisions of the JPA Agreement that could require the Successor Agency to contribute funds in the future. To date, no financial contributions have been required from the former Redevelopment Agency or the Successor Agency under such provisions.
Financial Implications:
By withdrawal of the Successor Agency from the Financing Authority, the Successor Agency will no longer be subject to potential financial contribution requirements under the JPA Agreement. By addition of the Parking Authority of the City of South Tahoe to the JPA Agreement, the Financing Authority will continue in existence beyond the termination of the Successor Agency, thereby allowing the Financing Authority to continue to assist the City and its related entities in bond financings for significant public benefits, including (a) demonstrable savings in effective interest rate or bond issuance costs, (b) significant reductions in effective user charges levied, (c) employment benefits from undertaking the project in a timely fashion, or (d) more efficient delivery of local agency services to residential and commercial development.
Environmental Considerations:
None.
Policy Implications:
None.

Resolution 2022-XXX
Adopted by the
South Tahoe Redevelopment Successor Agency
March 15, 2022
Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority
BACKGROUND
A. The City of South Lake Tahoe (the “City”) and the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Former Agency”) entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated January 3, 1989 (the “Original Agreement”), establishing the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority (the “PFA”) as a joint powers agency pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Government Code Sections 6500 et seq.) (the “Act”).
B. The Original Agreement was made pursuant to the Act, to provide for the joint exercise of powers common to the members of the PFA, and the establishment of a vehicle to reduce local borrowing costs and promote the greater use of existing and new financial instruments and mechanisms, and undertake the financing of public capital improvements and related capital improvements and the acquisition of real and personal property for the members of the PFA and other public agencies within the State.
C. Pursuant to Part 1.85 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code (enacted by Chapter 5 of the Statutes of 2011, ABX1 26), all redevelopment agencies in the State of California, including the Former Agency, dissolved as of February 1, 2012, the Successor Agency to the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) was established as the successor entity to the Former Agency, and the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency (the “Oversight Board”) was constituted.
D. The Successor Agency is tasked with the wind-down of the Former Agency’s affairs.
E. There has been prepared an Amendment No. 1 to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the “Amendment”), by and among the City, the Successor Agency and the Parking Authority of the City of South Lake Tahoe (the “Parking Authority”), pursuant to which: (i) the Successor Agency will withdraw as a member of the PFA and the Parking Authority will become a new member of the PFA, and (ii) certain provisions of the Original Agreement will be updated.
F. The Successor Agency’s withdrawal as a member of the PFA is in furtherance of the wind-down of the Former Agency’s affairs.
G. The PFA has previously issued bonds, some of which remain outstanding as of the date hereof.
600
Resolution 2022-XXX March 15, 2022 Page 2 of 4
H. The inclusion of the Parking Authority as a member to the PFA will preserve the existence of the PFA (thereby avoiding any disruption with respect to the outstanding PFA bonds), while allowing the Successor Agency to withdraw its membership.
I. This Resolution is not a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and the State CEQA Guidelines set forth in California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq., (the “Guidelines”), because it constitutes organizational or administrative activities of local government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5)). Because this Resolution is not a “project” for CEQA purposes, it is not subject to CEQA requirements.
BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, BE IT RESOLVED, that the South Tahoe Redevelopment Successor Agency Board:
1. Hereby approves the Successor Agency’s membership withdrawal from the PFA.
2. Hereby approves the Amendment, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3. Hereby requests the Oversight Board to approve the Successor Agency’s execution and delivery of the Amendment, and directs the Successor Agency Secretary to transmit this Resolution to the Oversight Board for consideration at the earliest possible date.
4. Hereby directs and authorizes each of the Chair, the Vice Chair and the Executive Director (each an “Authorized Officer”), acting individually, to execute and deliver, for and in the name of the Successor Agency, the Amendment, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with such changes therein as the Authorized Officer executing the same may approve (such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof); provided that such execution and delivery shall occur after the effectiveness (pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179(h)) of the Oversight Board’s resolution approving the execution and delivery of the Amendment.
5. Hereby authorizes the Authorized Officers and all other officers of the Successor Agency, jointly and severally, to do all things, including the execution and delivery of documents and instruments, which they may deem necessary or proper to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution and the Amendment.
6. Directs that this Resolution shall take effect upon its adoption. 601

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT
with respect to the
SOUTH TAHOE JOINT POWERS FINANCING AUTHORITY
This Amendment No. 1 to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (this “Amendment No. 1”) is dated as of March 15, 2022 for reference purposes, and is made by and among the City of South Lake Tahoe (the “City”), the Successor Agency to the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”), and the Parking Authority of the City of South Lake Tahoe (the “Parking Authority”), to amend that certain Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated January 3, 1989 (the “JPA Agreement”).
RECITALS:
A. The Joint Exercise of Powers Act, being California Government Code Section 6500, et seq. (the “Joint Powers Act”), provides that public agencies by agreement may jointly exercise any power common to the contracting parties. The Parking Authority is a “public agency” within the meaning of that term under Section 6502 of the Joint Powers Act, and as such, is eligible to enter into this Agreement.
B. Pursuant to Article 4 of the Joint Powers Act (also known as the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985), an authority created pursuant to Article 1 of the Joint Powers Act has additional, independent powers under the Joint Powers Act, including the power to issue bonds to pay the cost of any public capital improvement, and the power to make secured or unsecured loans to a local agency, including the City and the Parking Authority, in connection with the financing of public capital improvements and to refinance indebtedness incurred in connection with public capital improvements undertaken and completed, and may purchase bonds issued by any local agency at a public or private sale and such bonds may be held by the authority or sold to public or private purchasers at public or negotiated sales.
C. Pursuant to the Joint Powers Act, the City and the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Former Redevelopment Agency”) have heretofore entered into the JPA Agreement, pursuant to which the public entity known as the “South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority” was created.
D. On June 29, 2011, Assembly Bill No. 16 was enacted as Chapter 5 of Statutes of 2011 (“AB 26”), pursuant to which all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were statutorily dissolved as of February 1, 2012, including the Former Redevelopment Agency, and the Former Redevelopment Agency’s interests in and obligations under the JPA Agreement were assigned to the Successor Agency by operation of the law enacted by AB 26, including but not limited to California Health and Safety Code Section 34178(b)(3).
E. California Health and Safety Code Section 34187(b) provides for the dissolution of the Successor Agency within several months of the final retirement or payment of all enforceable 604
-2-
12463-0017\2622699v1.doc
obligations of the Former Redevelopment Agency, disposal of all real property, and resolution of all outstanding litigation of the Successor Agency.
F. There continues to be a need within the City, consistent with the need described in the declarations of the State Legislature set forth in Article 4 of the Joint Powers Act, to expand, upgrade, and otherwise improve the public capital facilities of local government necessary to support the rehabilitation and construction of residential and economic development. The needs of local government for financing these facilities greatly exceed the amount of funds available from existing state, local, and federal sources.
G. The needs of the City to expand, upgrade, and otherwise improve the public capital facilities are expected to continue beyond the termination of the Successor Agency, and bonded indebtedness or other obligations that may be issued with the assistance of the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority are expected to have terms and maturities extending beyond the termination of the Successor Agency, so it is necessary to add the Parking Authority as a member of the JPA Agreement in order to continue the existence of the Authority.
H. The common powers of the City and the Parking Authority include the power to issue revenue bonds for the purpose of financing the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, refinancing, or development of public parking facilities and for the provision of capital improvements in connection with and determined necessary to the public parking facilities; the power to purchase bonds, notes or other obligations; the power to acquire and dispose of real and personal property; the power to pay for the cost of publicly owned improvements in connection with and determined necessary to the public parking facilities; and the power to accept financial assistance from various public sources. The City and the Parking Authority desire to jointly exercise certain powers common to the parties, as set forth herein, including the foregoing and including the expansion, upgrading and improvement of said public capital improvements, and to facilitate the continued existence of the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority, which may also exercise its independent powers authorized by the Joint Powers Act.
I. The Parking Authority desires to enter into this Amendment No. 1 to become a party to the JPA Agreement in furtherance of the Joint Powers Act, including Article 4 thereof, and the Successor Agency desires to withdraw from the JPA Agreement.
J. The inclusion of the Parking Authority as a member to the Authority will preserve the existence of the Authority (thereby avoiding any disruption with respect to the outstanding Authority bonds), while allowing the Successor Agency to withdraw its membership.
K. In furtherance of the purposes of the JPA Agreement and the Joint Powers Act, including Article 4 thereof, and pursuant to Section 16 of the JPA Agreement, the City and the Successor Agency desire to enter into this Amendment No. 1 to: (i) add the Parking Authority as a party to the JPA Agreement, (ii) provide for the withdrawal of the Successor Agency from the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority and the JPA Agreement, and (iii) certain updates to the JPA Agreement, including clarifying changes necessitated by all of the foregoing. 605

Title: Amendment No. 1 to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority.
Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Joseph Irvin, Chief Administrative Officer (530) 542-6043 Background:
Pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, Government Code Section 6500, et seq. (the “Joint Powers Act”), the City and the Redevelopment Agency in 1989 created the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority (the “Financing Authority”), by entering into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the “JPA Agreement”). Under the Joint Powers Act, the Financing Authority has all of the powers common to its members, as well as additional, independent powers under the Joint Powers Act. The Joint Powers Act authorizes the Financing Authority to assist public agencies, such as the City and its related entities, in the financing and refinancing of public capital improvements.
In the past, the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority has assisted the City in the issuance of 2016 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, as well as 2012 Certificates of Participation, the proceeds of which were used to finance streets and other capital improvements within the City. It is expected that in the future, the assistance of the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority will again be needed to assist the City in securing financing for the construction of new projects, including the new recreation center.

The former Redevelopment Agency’s interest in the JPA Agreement was assigned to the Successor Agency to the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency by operation of AB X1 26, which enacted the Dissolution Act. The Dissolution Act, as amended by AB 1484, enacted by the State Legislature on June 27, 2012, and as amended further by SB 107, enacted by the State Legislature on September 22, 2015, introduces complications to certain bond financing assisted by the Financing Authority. California Health and Safety Code Section 34187 specifies that the Successor Agency’s existence will terminate within a few months after the final payment of debt of the former Redevelopment Agency (or the disposal of all real property and resolution of all outstanding litigation). The last debt of the Redevelopment Agency matures in 2037, and assuming that all real property has been disposed of and that there is no litigation at the time, the Successor Agency’s existence will terminate within approximately 15 years from now. 628

Amendment of the JPA Agreement to add another member is necessary in order to preserve the continued existence of the Financing Authority after the termination of the Successor Agency’s existence.

The City of South Lake Tahoe (the “City”) and the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Former Agency”) entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated January 3, 1989 (the “Original Agreement”), establishing the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority (the “PFA”) as a joint powers agency pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Government Code Sections 6500 et seq.) (the “Act”).
B. The Original Agreement was made pursuant to the Act, to provide for the joint exercise of powers common to the members of the PFA, and the establishment of a vehicle to reduce local borrowing costs and promote the greater use of existing and new financial instruments and mechanisms, and undertake the financing of public capital improvements and related capital improvements and the acquisition of real and personal property for the members of the PFA and other public agencies within the State.
C. Pursuant to Part 1.85 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code (enacted by Chapter 5 of the Statutes of 2011, ABX1 26), all redevelopment agencies in the State of California, including the Former Agency, dissolved as of February 1, 2012, the Successor Agency to the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) was established as the successor entity to the Former Agency, and the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency (the “Oversight Board”) was constituted.
D. The Successor Agency is tasked with the wind-down of the Former Agency’s affairs.
E. There has been prepared an Amendment No. 1 to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the “Amendment”), by and among the City, the Successor Agency and the Parking Authority of the City of South Lake Tahoe (the “Parking Authority”), pursuant to which: (i) the Successor Agency will withdraw as a member of the PFA and the Parking Authority will become a new member of the PFA, and (ii) certain provisions of the Original Agreement will be updated.
F. The Successor Agency’s withdrawal as a member of the PFA is in furtherance of the wind-down of the Former Agency’s affairs.

Resolution 2022-XXX March 15, 2022 Page 2 of 2
G. The PFA has previously issued bonds, some of which remain outstanding as of the date hereof.
H. The inclusion of the Parking Authority as a member to the PFA will preserve the existence of the PFA (thereby avoiding any disruption with respect to the outstanding PFA bonds), while allowing the Successor Agency to withdraw its membership.
BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Parking Authority of the City of South Lake Tahoe:
1. Approves the form of Amendment No. 1 to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the “Amendment No. 1”), dated as of March 15, 2022 and attached hereto as Exhibit “A,” by and among the City, the Successor Agency, and the Parking Authority, and authorizes and directs the Chair of the Parking Authority, for and on behalf of the Parking Authority, to execute and deliver the Amendment No. 1 in substantially the form on file with the Secretary of the Parking Authority and presented to this meeting, with such changes therein as the Chair of the Parking Authority may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by her execution and delivery thereof; provided however, that such execution and delivery shall occur after the effectiveness (pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179(h)) of the Oversight Board’s resolution approving the execution and delivery of the Amendment No. 1.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT
with respect to the
SOUTH TAHOE JOINT POWERS FINANCING AUTHORITY
This Amendment No. 1 to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (this “Amendment No. 1”) is dated as of March 15, 2022 for reference purposes, and is made by and among the City of South Lake Tahoe (the “City”), the Successor Agency to the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”), and the Parking Authority of the City of South Lake Tahoe (the “Parking Authority”), to amend that certain Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated January 3, 1989 (the “JPA Agreement”).
RECITALS:
A. The Joint Exercise of Powers Act, being California Government Code Section 6500, et seq. (the “Joint Powers Act”), provides that public agencies by agreement may jointly exercise any power common to the contracting parties. The Parking Authority is a “public agency” within the meaning of that term under Section 6502 of the Joint Powers Act, and as such, is eligible to enter into this Agreement.
B. Pursuant to Article 4 of the Joint Powers Act (also known as the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985), an authority created pursuant to Article 1 of the Joint Powers Act has additional, independent powers under the Joint Powers Act, including the power to issue bonds to pay the cost of any public capital improvement, and the power to make secured or unsecured loans to a local agency, including the City and the Parking Authority, in connection with the financing of public capital improvements and to refinance indebtedness incurred in connection with public capital improvements undertaken and completed, and may purchase bonds issued by any local agency at a public or private sale and such bonds may be held by the authority or sold to public or private purchasers at public or negotiated sales.
C. Pursuant to the Joint Powers Act, the City and the South Tahoe Redevelopment Agency (the “Former Redevelopment Agency”) have heretofore entered into the JPA Agreement, pursuant to which the public entity known as the “South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority” was created.
D. On June 29, 2011, Assembly Bill No. 16 was enacted as Chapter 5 of Statutes of 2011 (“AB 26”), pursuant to which all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were statutorily dissolved as of February 1, 2012, including the Former Redevelopment Agency, and the Former Redevelopment Agency’s interests in and obligations under the JPA Agreement were assigned to the Successor Agency by operation of the law enacted by AB 26, including but not limited to California Health and Safety Code Section 34178(b)(3).
E. California Health and Safety Code Section 34187(b) provides for the dissolution of the Successor Agency within several months of the final retirement or payment of all enforceable 632
-2-
12463-0017\2622699v1.doc
obligations of the Former Redevelopment Agency, disposal of all real property, and resolution of all outstanding litigation of the Successor Agency.
F. There continues to be a need within the City, consistent with the need described in the declarations of the State Legislature set forth in Article 4 of the Joint Powers Act, to expand, upgrade, and otherwise improve the public capital facilities of local government necessary to support the rehabilitation and construction of residential and economic development. The needs of local government for financing these facilities greatly exceed the amount of funds available from existing state, local, and federal sources.
G. The needs of the City to expand, upgrade, and otherwise improve the public capital facilities are expected to continue beyond the termination of the Successor Agency, and bonded indebtedness or other obligations that may be issued with the assistance of the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority are expected to have terms and maturities extending beyond the termination of the Successor Agency, so it is necessary to add the Parking Authority as a member of the JPA Agreement in order to continue the existence of the Authority.
H. The common powers of the City and the Parking Authority include the power to issue revenue bonds for the purpose of financing the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, refinancing, or development of public parking facilities and for the provision of capital improvements in connection with and determined necessary to the public parking facilities; the power to purchase bonds, notes or other obligations; the power to acquire and dispose of real and personal property; the power to pay for the cost of publicly owned improvements in connection with and determined necessary to the public parking facilities; and the power to accept financial assistance from various public sources. The City and the Parking Authority desire to jointly exercise certain powers common to the parties, as set forth herein, including the foregoing and including the expansion, upgrading and improvement of said public capital improvements, and to facilitate the continued existence of the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority, which may also exercise its independent powers authorized by the Joint Powers Act.
I. The Parking Authority desires to enter into this Amendment No. 1 to become a party to the JPA Agreement in furtherance of the Joint Powers Act, including Article 4 thereof, and the Successor Agency desires to withdraw from the JPA Agreement.
J. The inclusion of the Parking Authority as a member to the Authority will preserve the existence of the Authority (thereby avoiding any disruption with respect to the outstanding Authority bonds), while allowing the Successor Agency to withdraw its membership.
K. In furtherance of the purposes of the JPA Agreement and the Joint Powers Act, including Article 4 thereof, and pursuant to Section 16 of the JPA Agreement, the City and the Successor Agency desire to enter into this Amendment No. 1 to: (i) add the Parking Authority as a party to the JPA Agreement, (ii) provide for the withdrawal of the Successor Agency from the South Tahoe Joint Powers Financing Authority and the JPA Agreement, and (iii) certain updates to the JPA Agreement, including clarifying changes necessitated by all of the foregoing. 633
