City of South Lake Tahoe
Report to City Council
Meeting Date: September 20, 2022
Title: Lake Tahoe Airport Pavement Maintenance Matching Grant and Resolution
Application Location: 1901 Lisa Maloff Way, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 Responsible Staff Member: John Dickinson, Airport Manager (530) 307-2652 Background: On September 2, 2015, the City of South Lake Tahoe accepted Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grant #3-06-0249-038- 2015 to Update a Pavement Maintenance Management Plan Study. The engineering site survey supporting the 2015-2017 Airport Pavement Maintenance Plan is now over five years old. The Lake Tahoe region has significant freeze thaw cycles which accelerate pavement deterioration requiring continual reevaluation of pavement conditions city-wide. The City of South Lake Tahoe, as Airport Sponsor, has contractually agreed as a condition for accepting Airport Improvement Program Grants to maintain an airport pavement maintenance management program in compliance with Federal Airport Sponsor Grant Assurances.

Source: 2020 Federal Aviation Administration Airport Sponsor Grant Assurances In consultation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Airport Engineer, Jviation, Inc., the Airport Manager recommended an updated analysis of the airport’s pavements to support cost- effective pavement maintenance. One goal is to make sound engineering recommendations to extend the engineered lifecycle of pavements to the greatest extent practicable. On September 7, 2021, City Council approved submittal of a Grant Application to FAA in support of an update to the Pavement Maintenance Management Plan Study. FAA has tentatively approved $131,002.00 to support this study. Approval and Acceptance of this funding will be brought forth to City Council upon receiving the awarded contract. Staff had intended to submit a Matching Grant Application to Caltrans at the time, but funds were not available, and the amount awarded from FAA was also unknown. With a tentative award of $131,002.00 the Airport Manager can submit an accurate matching grant application to 428

Caltrans.

Issue and Discussion: The Federal Aviation Administration under Title 49 § 47171, et seq. allows for general aviation airports to appropriate 90% Federal share for Airport Improvement Program grants and requires the airport sponsor to contribute 10% match from a combination of state or local sources. The California Transportation Commission, pursuant to the Public Utilities Code section 21683.1, provides grants of 5% of Federal Aviation Administration grants to airports as matching funds; certifying local funding availability of 5.5% total project costs. The Airport Manager, recommends submitting a matching grant application for the Update of the Lake Tahoe Airport Pavement Maintenance Management Plan in the amount of $6,550.00. In October 2021, City Council set aside $16,667 for matching funds for the federal grant. With the current estimated project costs of $145,558.00, that match can be decreased to $8006.00.

An airport pavement maintenance management plan determines maintenance, strengthening, and/or rehabilitation schedules for the airport’s capital improvement program, allowing for the orderly budgeting of maintenance and rehabilitation funds over a twenty-year planning horizon. Airport management must be able to anticipate the remaining life of existing pavements, knowing when it will be necessary to apply strengthening overlays or reconstruct existing pavements. We are requesting authorization to apply for a Caltrans AIP Matching grant to study and evaluate pavement conditions in 2023.

Staff Recommendation:

Pass a Resolution approving and authorizing the Airport Manager to apply for a FY 2022 Caltrans Airport Improvement Program Matching Grant to fund an airport pavement maintenance management plan update for the Lake Tahoe Airport in the amount up to $6,550.00 and appropriate $8006.00 from the General Fund Undesignated Reserve Grant Match.

Financial Implications: Upon approval of Caltrans Matching grant, authorize Finance Director to appropriate budget in account# 501 80035 as follows:
2022 AIP Grant: Lake Tahoe Airport Pavement Maintenance Management Plan Update Estimated Project Cost $145,558.00

4.5% Caltrans AIP Matching Grant Participation
$6,550.00

5.5% City Grant Match $8,006.00
 90% FAA AIP Grant Participation will be brought forth for budget appropriation upon final contract award.

Environmental Considerations: This project has previously obtained a CEQA Categorical Exclusion under 14 CCR §15262, “Feasibility & Planning Study” and a NEPA Categorical Exemption under 307o. “Approving AIP funding for a request to issue a planning grant that does not commit the FAA to a project”. As this project is a planning study there are no other environmental implications associated with the project regarding discretionary approval by the City Council. The Airport Pavement Maintenance Management Plan will assess the current condition of existing airport pavements and make recommendations for possible future actions which does not involve any City Council action that either funds, or approves any 429

recommendations made in the study.

Policy Implications: Maintaining a current airport pavement maintenance plan is an Airport Sponsor Grant Assurance condition for accepting Federal funding for the construction, rehabilitation or reconstruction of airport pavements. In order to maintain eligibility for future FAA funding for pavements, the airport updates its plan based on a 5-year cycle or as conditions warrant. The cycle is determined by geographic and environmental considerations. Pavements in Lake Tahoe are subject to an environment with significant freeze/thaw cycles accelerating pavement deterioration.

Meeting Date: September 20,
2022
Agenda Item #: 7
Agenda Item: Budget Transfer of $63,982.17 to Purchase Storage Pods for Parks and Recreation Department and For Other Miscellaneous Maintenance Needs Executive Summary: Parks and Recreation Department stores their equipment during the winter season at 1740 D Street Facility. However, due to the construction of the new Multi-Generational Recreation Center, power to the sign shop and other facilities has been cut off, and the sign shop has relocated to 1740 D Street, where Parks typically stores its equipment. Therefore, the Parks and Recreation Department is in need of storage facilities to protect its equipment. The Parks and Recreation Department has requested the purchase and installation of storage Pods behind the existing Recreation Center. These pods will be installed through a Use Permit from the Development Services. In March 2021, with the Mid-Year budget approval, the City Council approved $80,000 to upgrade the Pioneer-Ski Run video detection camera. The City contracted with the California Department of Transportation which maintains the City's Traffic Signal. Caltrans was able to complete the work for $16,017.3. The Public Works Department is requesting the transfer of the remainder of the budget, $63,982.17, to purchase the necessary storage pods for the Parks and Recreation Department. The storage pods are estimated to cost approximately $30,000, and the remainder will be used for miscellaneous maintenance needs.

Requested Action / Suggested Motions: Pass a Resolution authorizing the transfer of $63,982.17 from the CIP Account for Pioneer-Ski Run Cameras to Miscellaneous Maintenance CIP Account.

Title: Purchase of Storage Pods for Parks and Recreation Department Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Anush Nejad, Director of Public Work – (530) 542-6031 Lauren Thomaselli, Director of Parks and Recreation – (530) 542-6197
Background: Phase 1 of the Multi-Generational contract is underway and the power to the Parks Department area, including the Sign Shop, has been cut off due to construction work. The Streets Sign Shop has relocated to Public Works Department 1740 D Streets to an area that typically houses the Parks Department equipment. Now, there is a need for additional storage pods for the Parks Department to protect their equipment during the winter season.

Issue and Discussion: The Parks and Recreation Department has requested the purchase and installation of storage Pods behind the existing Recreation Center. These pods will be installed through a Use Permit from the Development Services. The Public Works Department plans to procure and install three (3) storage pods behind the current recreation center, in accordance with City’s procurement policy. The cost of the pods is approximately $7,500 each. The total expenditure, including installation, visual screen, etc., is about $30,000. Public Works will obtain a Use-Permit from the Development Services for the installation of the storage pods. The storage pods will protect City assets and will be used by the Parks Department until a permanent storage facility is identified and constructed, which may take over 5-years.

In March 2021, with the Mid-Year budget approval, the City Council approved $80,000 to upgrade the Pioneer-Ski Run video detection camera. The City contracted with the California Department of Transportation which maintains the City's Traffic Signal. Caltrans was able to complete the work for $16,017.3. The Public Works Department is requesting the transfer of the remainder of the budget, $63,982.17, to purchase the necessary storage pods.

Financial Implications: Staff is requesting a transfer of the remaining balance of $63,982.17 from Account 301-50040, Pioneer-Ski Run Camera, to Account 301-70020, Miscellaneous Maintenance CIP Account.

Environmental Considerations: This purchase is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(2) (continuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies) Policy Implications: The purchase of storage pods will protect city assets and will preserve the equipment during the winter seasons.

Agenda Item #: 8
Agenda Item: Ordinance Amending Chapter 4.175 (Polystyrene and Plastic Food Packaging Regulations) of the South Lake Tahoe City Code to Establish a Municipal Use and Commercial Ban on Single-Use Plastic Water Bottles (First Reading)
Executive Summary: On June 7, 2022, City Council heard a presentation and directed that this ordinance be brought back for consideration to take certain actions to further regulate single-use plastics, especially plastic water bottles. The proposed ordinance would establish a municipal use and commercial ban on single-use plastic water bottles smaller than one gallon, to be phased in over time.

The municipal use ban would be effective on April 22 (Earth Day), 2023, and the commercial ban would be effective one year later, on April 22, 2024. The proposed ordinance also removes exceptions for hardship and polystyrene raw food packaging, makes the City the enforcement agency for the state's Single-Use Foodware Accessories and Condiments law, and makes other edits for clarity and consistency with state laws that came into effect after the City's original ordinance was adopted in 2018.

Requested Action / Suggested Motions: Pass a Motion to hold a first reading (by title only) of an Ordinance amending Chapter 4.175 (Polystyrene and Plastic Food Packaging Regulations) of the South Lake Tahoe City Code to establish a municipal use and commercial ban on single-use plastic water bottles, and refer second reading to the City Council meeting on October 4, 2022.

Title: Ordinance Amending Chapter 4.175 (Polystyrene and Plastic Food Packaging Regulations) of the South Lake Tahoe City Code to Establish a Municipal Use and Commercial Ban on Single-Use Plastic Water Bottles (First Reading) Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Heather L. Stroud, City Attorney (530) 542-6046 Sara Letton, Sustainability Coordinator (530) 542-6175
Background: Single-use plastics are a significant source of waste and pollution because of the sheer volume of these products produced and used by consumers and the long amount of time they exist in the environment after their short useful life ends. Single-use plastics are generally defined as goods made primarily from petrochemicals that are meant to be disposed of right after use. These include items such as plastic straws, coffee stir sticks, shopping bags, beverage bottles, and packaging. Discarded plastics are particularly damaging to water quality because they don’t really break down or decompose; they just break apart eventually into microplastics that end up washed downstream into waterbodies. The University of California Davis’s Tahoe Environmental Resource Center (TERC) has been leading a study of the effects of microplastics in Lake Tahoe, and in 2020, found plastic in almost every sample taken from beaches around the Lake. Because no wastewater is discharged to Lake Tahoe, most of the microplastic waste appears to be coming from plastic litter, especially plastic bottles and bags.

The City’s location in the Lake Tahoe Basin makes us stewards of this internationally treasured resource. The City Council has recognized waste management and stewardship as priority Goal

3.4 in the 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, which includes Action Item 4, to “evaluate the option to ban certain single-use plastics, especially water bottles.” The City has already taken significant steps in regulating single-use plastics:
 In 2013, the City Council became one of the first cities in California to regulate single-use plastic bags, by adopting Ordinance No. 1061.
 In 2018, the City Council adopted the Polystyrene and Plastic Food Packaging Regulations, codified at South Lake Tahoe City Code chapter 4.175. This ordinance prohibits “food providers” from providing plastic utensils, straws, or stirrers except upon request, and from providing polystyrene food containers. It also prohibits vendors from selling polystyrene products including coolers, cups, bowls, plates, and packing peanuts, and prohibits the use of polystyrene at City facilities and special events.
442
Council Agenda Report- September 20, 2022 Page 2 of 3
 In 2021, the City Council repealed its single-use plastic bag regulations to instead follow state law adopted in 2016, which is applicable to more types of establishments.

Additionally, the California Legislature has been active in regulating single-use plastics in recent years:
 In 2016, the state implemented a single-use plastic bag ban, codified in Public Resources Code sections 42280-42288. This law prohibits most grocery stores, large retail stores with a pharmacy, and convenience stores that sell food and alcoholic beverages from providing their customers with bags designed for a single use only, unless those bags are made with recycled paper. These stores may provide customers with certified reusable grocery bags and must charge at least 10 cents for each reusable plastic or recycled paper bag. Cities may enforce the state law with civil penalties up to $1,000 per day. As mentioned above, the City follows this law.
 In 2021, the Legislature passed the Single-Use Foodware Accessories and Condiments law, codified at Public Resources Code sections 42270-42273, which became effective on January 1, 2022. This law prohibits a “food facility” from providing single-use plastic items except on request. This covers items such as utensils, straws, stirrers, and condiment cups and packets. This law requires cities to designate an enforcement agency with $25 fines for each day in violation, up to $300 per year. The law includes a savings clause that allows cities to adopt stricter regulations.
 Senate Bill 54, titled the Plastic Pollution Producer Responsibility Act, was signed by the Governor this summer. This bill prohibits the sale, distribution, or importing into California any single-use, non-recyclable or non-compostable disposable packaging and food ware service products manufactured after January 1, 2032.

On June 7, 2022, the City Council heard a presentation on this item and provided direction to bring back an ordinance to further restrict the use of single-use plastics, especially single-use plastic water bottles.

Issue and Discussion:

The proposed amendments to the City’s Polystyrene and Plastic Food Packaging Regulations accomplish the following in accordance with previous City Council direction:
 Prohibits single-use water bottles of less than one gallon, at City facilities and permitted temporary activities and special events. This municipal use ban is effective on April 22 (Earth Day), 2023. See § 4.175.050(A).
 Prohibits sale of single-use plastic water bottles of less than one gallon within the City of South Lake Tahoe. This commercial ban is effective on April 22 (Earth Day), 2024. See §

4.175.050(B).
 Removes exceptions for hardship and polystyrene raw food packaging that are currently in § 4.175.050.
 Takes on City enforcement role for state Single-Use Foodware Accessories and Condiments law. See § 4.175.060(C).

Council Agenda Report- September 20, 2022 Page 3 of 3
 Makes other edits for clarity and consistency with new state laws, including updates to definitions.

These amendments, except for the single-use plastic water bottle municipal use and commercial ban which are phased in through April 2024, would be effective on January 1, 2023. The League to Save Lake Tahoe has assisted with outreach efforts on this ordinance in the past and has indicated a willingness to partner on outreach on these amendments this Fall.

The phased approach to the municipal use and commercial bans will allow time develop alternatives for accessible drinking water. For example, the City will be looking at installing water bottle refilling stations at City parks and/or acquiring portable water refilling stations for use at City events and permitted special events and temporary activities. Grant funding from CalRecycle and Take Care Tahoe may be available to offset some of the costs.

Financial Implications: Staff is evaluating the cost of installing water bottle refilling stations and acquiring portable water refilling stations.

Environmental Considerations: Providing direction to staff on possible future regulations is not a “project” subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15307 (actions by regulatory agencies for protection of natural resources) and 15308 (actions by regulatory agencies for protection of the environment).

Policy Implications: This item advances progress on Strategic Plan Goal 3.4, Waste Management and Stewardship, Action Item 4 “Evaluate the option to ban certain single-use plastics, especially water bottles.” In addition to reducing the amount of plastic waste and microplastics in the Lake Tahoe Basin, these amendments would have the added benefit of reducing greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the City’s Climate Action Plan. Because of South Lake Tahoe’s relatively remote location, transporting single-use plastic water bottles to South Lake Tahoe for consumption and transporting empty bottles to Nevada for recycling, which is only one part of the life cycle of a single-use plastic water bottle, generates a significant amount of greenhouse gases.

Ordinance 2022-XXX
Adopted by the City of South Lake Tahoe
City Council
October 4, 2022
An Ordinance Amending Chapter 4.175 (Polystyrene and Plastic Food Packaging Regulations) of the South Lake Tahoe City Code to Establish a Municipal Use and Commercial Ban on Single-Use Plastic Water Bottles

FINDINGS
A. The City of South Lake Tahoe has the police power under article XI, §7 of the California Constitution to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community, including the ability to protect and enhance the natural environment.

B. The City of South Lake Tahoe shares approximately 4.5 miles of shoreline with Lake Tahoe, which is the largest alpine lake in North America and at 1,645 feet, is the second deepest lake in the United States after Crater Lake in Oregon. Lake Tahoe was formed about 2 million years ago and is known for the clarity of its water, with objects visible over 70 feet deep in some places. The Lake Tahoe Basin is home to a range of wildlife including black bears, bald eagles, osprey, and 24 species of native and non-native fish.

C. Lake Tahoe is also a major tourist attraction, with approximately 15 million visitors each year.

South Lake Tahoe is the most densely populated area and the only incorporated city in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

D. On April 3, 2018, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1117 establishing South Lake Tahoe City Code chapter 4.175 (Polystyrene and Plastic Food Packaging Regulations), which became effective on October 1, 2018.

E. On October 20, 2020, the City Council passed Resolution No. 2020-097 adopting the Climate Action Plan “to help the City achieve its goals to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions” and “demonstrate environmental leadership that has been a benchmark of the Tahoe Basin.” The Climate Action Plan includes Action WA-3 to implement waste and climate change education, including “helping to create and publicize a waste reduction pledge from community partners that interact with visitors” and “supporting the creation of local life cycle analyses, specifically of recycling plastics vs. landfilling plastics.”
F. The City Council has recognized waste management and stewardship as priority Goal 3.4 in the 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, which includes Action Item 4, to “evaluate the option to ban certain single-use plastics, especially water bottles.” 445
Ordinance 2022-XXX September 20, 2022 Page 2 of 6
G. In October 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law California Assembly Bill (AB) 1276 which prohibits food facilities from providing any single-use foodware or condiment package unless requested by the customer. AB 1276, codified at California Public Resources Code sections 42270-42273 (“Single-Use Foodware Accessories and Condiments”), requires the City to authorize an enforcement agency to enforce these new state requirements, and this Ordinance authorizes the City to be the enforcement agency.

H. Between 2014-2021, the League to Save Lake Tahoe held 172 community clean-up events around Lake Tahoe at which volunteers picked up 5,702 plastic bottles and 14,296 bottle caps, approximately half of which were plastic.

I. Discarded plastics are particularly damaging to water quality because they break apart into microplastics, defined as plastic fragments less than 5 millimeters in length, which end up washed downstream into waterbodies. Researchers from the University of California at Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) have been leading a study on the effects of microplastics in Lake Tahoe and in 2020, found plastic in almost every sample taken from beaches around the Lake. Because no wastewater is discharged to Lake Tahoe, most of the microplastics appear to be coming from plastic litter, especially plastic bottles and bags. TERC is studying the extent of harm from microplastics on freshwater ecosystems.

J. Especially because of South Lake Tahoe’s relatively remote location, the life cycle of singleuse plastic water bottles generates a significant amount of greenhouse gases in South Lake Tahoe, even if they are properly disposed of and recycled. Based on data received from the City’s franchise waste hauler South Tahoe Refuse, an average of 209,372 pounds per year of plastic bottles (PET #1) have been hauled to its recycling facility in Nevada over the past three years (2019-2021). While not all of these are single-use water bottles, and South Tahoe Refuse does not track this data, anecdotally, single-use water bottles make up a significant share of PET #1 bottles. Assuming that these bottles originated at a distribution center in Sacramento, the greenhouse gases generated from just transporting the bottles from Sacramento to South Lake Tahoe and then to the recycling center in Nevada amount to approximately 205 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. For single-use water bottles, this figure does not include the additional greenhouse gases generated by getting water to the bottling plant, hauling bottled water to the distributor, or manufacturing and recycling the plastic bottles.

K. South Lake Tahoe enjoys excellent quality drinking water. The Tahoe Water Suppliers Association (TWSA), which includes California and Nevada municipal water agencies, provides outstanding, pure source water even before treatment, and its members have 6 of the total 60 “filtration avoidance” permits given among the 160,000 public water systems in the United States. The TWSA and Take Care Tahoe have initiated the “Drink Tahoe Tap” campaign to encourage residents and visitors to forego bottled water in favor of local tap water, in part to reduce waste and plastic pollution.

3.50.260 (Register to be Kept Two Years) of the City Code Chapter 3.50 (Transient Lodging) to Clarify Language Regarding Security Instruments and Register Retention Period (First Reading) Executive Summary: The existing City Code Title 3 (Finance) contains several provisions that require clean-up. Staff recommends updating two City Code sections regarding security deposit collection as well as guest register retention requirements. Updates will ensure timely recovery of uncollected Transient Occupancy Tax during the audit process. Correcting the title of the guest register keeping requirements section will add consistency in the language between title and body to reflect common practice.

Requested Action / Suggested Motions: Pass a Motion to hold a first reading (by title only) of an Ordinance amending Section 3.50.140 (Security for collection of tax) and Section 3.50.260 (Register to be kept two years) of the City Code Chapter 3.50 (Transient Lodging) to clarify language regarding security instruments and register retention period, and refer to second reading for adoption on October 4th, 2022.

3.50.260 (Register to be kept two years) of the City Code Chapter 3.50 (Transient Lodging) to clarify language regarding security instruments and register retention Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Ben Hannah, Accountant II (530) 542-6079 Olga Tikhomirova, Director of Finance (530)542-7431
Background: The existing City Code Title 3 Finance contains several provisions that require clean-up. The Finance Department proposes two revisions to streamline the collection of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) security deposit and to clean up the recordkeeping section title for consistency with audit procedures.

Issue and Discussion: The proposed updates to Section 3.50.140 and Section 3.50.260 include the following updates:
 Section 3.50.140 Security for the collection of tax: The proposed update to this section will require security deposit payment for Transient Occupancy Tax to be made in the form of cash or cash equivalent only. Redemption of other security instruments such as certificate of deposit (CD) can be difficult as often the CD can be terminated upon simple notice forcing the oblige to commit staff time to recovery of the deposit monies. Additionally, record keeping of deposits in non-cash form over long time frames is proved to be unsuccessful and error prone.  Section 3.50.260 Register to be kept two years: The title of this policy is inconsistent with the section body language and should reflect common practice and audit requirement of keeping the register for a minimum of three years.

Financial Implications: Streamlining the existing Finance City Code will reduce the time spent on code interpretation and allow city staff to spend more time assisting the community.

Maintaining liquid security deposits in the form of cash or cash equivalents only will ensure timely and maximum Transient Occupancy Tax revenue recovery during the course of the audit process.

Updating the code title has no financial impact.

Environmental Considerations: These amendments are exempt from CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines states that an activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review. 456
Council Agenda Report- September 20, 2022 Page 2 of 2
Policy Implications: The overall impact of financial policies is to strengthen and preserve the City’s financial position and fiscal health as well as maintain the highest level of ethics in the stewardship of public funds.

Amending City Code Section 3.50.140 (Security for collection of tax) and Section

3.50.260 (Register to be kept two years) of the City Code Chapter 3.50 Transient Lodging to Clarify Language Regarding Security Instruments and Register Retention Period

FINDINGS
A. The City Council previously adopted regulations, policies, and procedures associated with regulations imposed upon the transient lodging industry, including the transient occupancy tax.

B. The language regarding type of instruments acceptable for Transient Occupancy Tax security deposits in Section 3.50.140 A (Security for Collection of Tax) is inconsistent with best practice, which is that acceptable deposits shall include cash and cash equivalents only. Other securities have been found ineffective to ensure compliance with chapter 3.50.140 D due to problems with redemption and record keeping.

C. The language in the title of Section 3.50.260 (Register to be kept two years) is inconsistent with body of the section, which states that a record of registered guests shall be kept for three years.

Now, Therefore, the City Council of City of South Lake Tahoe does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 3.50.140 of the South Lake Tahoe City Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

3.50.140 Security for collection of tax
A. To ensure compliance with transient occupant tax payment requirements, the tax collector shall require each person subject to such requirements to deposit with the city a noninterest bearing security in the form of cash or cash equivalent in the amount required by the terms hereof. The required security shall be equal to an amount not greater than twice the person’s estimated average liability for the period for which a return must be filed or the sum of $20,000, whichever is less. At any time after the amount of the initial deposit is determined, the amount of the security deposit may be determined on current information and recent reporting and payment history if the secured amount is deemed insufficient by the tax collector.

B. If any person is delinquent in the payment of the amount required to be paid or in the event a determination has been made that an amount due remains unpaid, the tax collector may, not later than three years after the payment became delinquent, give notice thereof by certified mail to all persons in the county having in their possession or under their control any credits or other personal property belonging to the delinquent, or owing any debts to the delinquent. After receiving the notice, the persons so notified shall neither transfer nor make any other disposition of the credits, other personal property or debts in their possession or under their 458

control at the time they receive the notice until the tax collector consents to a transfer or disposition or until 20 days elapse after the receipt of the notice. All persons so notified shall within five days after the receipts of the notice advise the tax collector of all such credits, other personal property or debts in their possession, under their control or owing by them.

C. At any time within three years after any tax or any amount of tax required to be collected becomes due and payable or at any time within three years after any determination becomes final, the tax collector may bring an action in the courts of this state or any other state or of the United States in the name of the city to collect the amount delinquent together with penalties and interest.

D. If any owner and/or operator of any business or the real property upon which such business is operated sells, transfers, assigns, leases or otherwise quits the business, and any person who takes ownership or operation of the business and/or real property upon which such business is operated shall, in escrow, or otherwise, pay such amount in full. The amount to be paid shall be determined by an audit for the last three fiscal years of the property being transferred conducted by the city, less the security deposit, if any, held by the city. No escrow shall be allowed to close concerning any property subject to this chapter unless sufficient funds are retained in escrow to cover any delinquency and paid over to the city from the escrow upon demand; provided, however, that such audit shall, in all cases, be completed within a reasonable period of time after all records necessary to the audit have been provided to the city. All sums deemed due the city at the completion of the audit shall be paid to the city at the completion of the audit, shall be paid to the city by the escrow holder upon written demand of the finance director.

If any such owner or operator of the business and/or the real property upon which the business is operated, or any escrow holder, fails to pay, withhold, or insure the withholding of the required sum, such person shall be liable for all monies due the city.

No city permit or entitlement of any type shall be issued to the successor, owner or operator of any transient lodging facility if transient occupancy taxes remain unpaid.

E. Notice shall be recorded with the El Dorado County recorder’s office on every transient lodging facility containing more than two units, as defined in SLTCC 3.00.010. The following notice shall appear with regard to such properties:

Pursuant to this chapter, if any owner or operator liable to the city for any amount of transient occupancy tax or security deposit sells, transfers or assigns the property, the purchasers or successors of such person shall, in escrow, hold sufficient funds to pay such amount in full. The amount shall be determined by audit as described in SLTCC 3.50.140(D).

If any person fails to pay or withhold the required sum, or allows escrow to close without satisfaction in cash of the amount owed to the city, such person shall be personally liable.

F. If any amount of transient occupancy tax or security deposit required to be remitted or paid to the city under this section is not remitted or paid when due, the city finance director or his/her designee may, within three years after the amount is due, file for record in the office of the El Dorado County recorder a certificate specifying the amount of tax, penalties and interest due, 459
Ordinance 2022-XXX October 4, 2022 Page 3 of 4
the name and address as it appears on the records of the city finance administrator of the owner and/or operator liable for that amount, and the fact that the city finance director has complied with all provisions of this section in the determination of the amount required to be paid to the city.

From the date of the filing for record, the amount required to be remitted together with penalties and interest constitutes a lien upon all real property in the county owned by the operator and/or owner, and any real property acquired by him/her at any subsequent date but before the lien expires. The lien has the force, effect and priority of a judgment lien and shall continue for 10 years from the time of filing of the certificate unless sooner released or otherwise directed.

A. To ensure compliance with transient occupant tax payment requirements, the tax collector shall require each person subject to such requirements to deposit with the city a noninterest bearing security in the form of cash or other security cash equivalent in the amount required by the terms hereof. The required security shall be equal to an amount not greater than twice the person’s estimated average liability for the period for which a return must be filed or the sum of $20,000, whichever is less. At any time after the amount of the initial deposit is determined, the amount of the security deposit may be determined on current information and recent reporting and payment history if the secured amount is deemed insufficient by the tax collector.

B. If any person is delinquent in the payment of the amount required to be paid or in the event a determination has been made that an amount due remains unpaid, the tax collector may, not later than three years after the payment became delinquent, give notice thereof by certified mail to all persons in the county having in their possession or under their control any credits or other personal property belonging to the delinquent, or owing any debts to the delinquent. After receiving the notice, the persons so notified shall neither transfer nor make any other disposition of the credits, other personal property or debts in their possession or under their control at the time they receive the notice until the tax collector consents to a transfer or disposition or until 20 days elapse after the receipt of the notice. All persons so notified shall within five days after the receipts of the notice advise the tax collector of all such credits, other personal property or debts in their possession, under their control or owing by them.

D. If any owner and/or operator of any business or the real property upon which such business is operated sells, transfers, assigns, leases or otherwise quits the business, and any person who takes ownership or operation of the business and/or real property upon which such business is operated shall, in escrow, or otherwise, pay such amount in full. The amount to be paid shall be determined by an audit for the last three fiscal years of the property being transferred conducted by the city, less the security deposit, if any, held by the city. No escrow shall be allowed to close concerning any 463

property subject to this chapter unless sufficient funds are retained in escrow to cover any delinquency and paid over to the city from the escrow upon demand; provided, however, that such audit shall, in all cases, be completed within a reasonable period of time after all records necessary to the audit have been provided to the city.

Agenda Item Executive Summary
Joe Irvin, City Manager
Meeting Date: September 20,
2022
Agenda Item #: 10
Agenda Item: Community Services Officer Supervisor and Parking Ambassador Positions Executive Summary: Meeting the obligations of the pre-litigation settlement agreement with Tahoe Crescent LLC has proved difficult using the CSO enforcement model because of challenges in hiring CSOs, in part because of the stringent background checks required. The Police Department proposes to eliminate one CSO position and one Lead CSO position to allow for the creation of two Parking Ambassador positions, which would not have the same background check requirements, and one CSO Supervisor position. The additional cost would be funded by citation revenue.

Requested Action / Suggested Motions: Pass a Resolution authorizing amendment to FY 2022-2023 List of Allocated Permanent Positions to remove Lead Community Service Officer (CSO) and one CSO position and add a CSO Supervisor and two Parking Ambassadors, and approving corresponding salary tables.

City of South Lake Tahoe
Report to City Council
Meeting Date: September 20, 2022
Title: Community Service Officer Supervisor and Parking Ambassador Positions Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Sgt Scott Crivelli (530) 542-6130 Background:The Community Service Officer (CSO) unit has taken several forms through the last ten years. That evolution included separate Community Service Officers, VHR Community Service Officers, code enforcement, and a CSO staff dedicated to the former paid parking program. Those separate CSO models have been reintegrated into a single Community Service Officer model.

However, the funding for those positions are still split between VHR, Code Enforcement, Nuisance Abatement, and the parking garage.

The City of South Lake Tahoe agreed to staff the Village Shopping Center for parking enforcement with 1.75 employees after the prelitigation settlement with the Tahoe Crescent LLC. The enforcement was agreed to be handled by the CSO Division within the Police Department.

Currently, South Lake Tahoe PD is designated five (5) Community Officer positions and one (1) Lead CSO position. Today, only two CSOs and one Lead CSO fill the ranks within the CSO Unit. Since the agreement between the City of South Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe Crescent LLC, the Police Department has been working diligently to recruit and hire more CSOs in order to successfully staff the Village Shopping Center, as well as fulfill their other roles in the community.

Finding candidates qualified to work as CSOs within the police department has proven to be difficult.

Despite our competitive pay and benefits packages, only about 10-20% of applicants respond and complete a written test and interview. An even smaller number are able to pass a background process, which is required to have access to criminal justice data and law enforcement sensitive information.

The City of South Lake Tahoe is committed to fulfilling its agreement with Tahoe Crescent LLC.

Currently, 1 CSO is staffed at the Village Center, Friday – Monday for 8 hours. On Tuesday – Thursday, the Lead CSO spends time doing enforcement in the lot during rush parking hours. Most recently, the City of South Lake Tahoe had contracted with a private parking enforcement contractor to assist with parking enforcement, on behalf of the city during the midweek. However, like many other businesses in today’s economy, the private contractor is short staffed and struggling to hire new employees. Due to their staffing, the private contractor cannot commit to a set schedule and is helping when they can.

A solution is needed to have adequate staffing to fulfill the agreement between the City of South Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe Crescent LLC.
467
Council Agenda Report- September 20, 2022 Page 2 of 3
Issue and Discussion: A significant portion of the Parking Management Report provided by Dixon and Associates centered on providing a Parking Ambassador program to the Village, Bellamy, and parking structure area. This ambassadorship was designed to greet, educate, and provide direction to parkers for the most appropriate parking solution for their needs. A significant component of this program was personnel dedicated to providing enforcement at The Village Shopping Center pursuant to the prelitigation agreement. Those personnel were to address parking concerns on Bellamy as well as address issues in the parking structure. All components hinge on proactive enforcement which includes working equipment, adequate personnel coverage, and the cooperation of the public The police department is seeking approval to re-structure the CSO division in order to fund two Parking Ambassador (PA) positions and a CSO Supervisor. The PAs primary role would be ambassadorship and enforcement inside the Village Center lot, the parking garage and on Bellamy.

The PAs would report to the parking garage on Bellamy to begin their shifts. The PAs would not have access to criminal justice data and law enforcement sensitive information; therefore, a police background process would not be needed. Two Parking Ambassadors dedicated to the Village Center and surrounding areas satisfies the agreement between the City of South Lake Tahoe and Tahoe Crescent LLC.

The current Lead CSO is not a supervisory role. The Lead CSO currently addresses special projects and collaborates with other city departments and county agencies to resolve complex issues. The current lead CSO also communicates with and maintains services provided to the city from various venders. The current Lead CSO does not manage other CSO performance, scheduling, evaluation, etc.

A CSO Supervisor position is needed to address the entirety of the parking program from ambassadorship to enforcement, to include collaboration with service providers, customer service, and ensure a smoothly run parking program as there are three different revenue sources. A CSO Supervisor would also oversee the CSO division, Parking Ambassadors and the VHR component.

The Detective Supervisor currently oversees the entire CSO division, in addition to evidence, detectives, an FBI Task Force Officer, and VHR compliance, with a potential span of control over 16 personnel when fully staffed. Creating a CSO Supervisor would remove the CSO and VHR components from this role would reduce the Detective Sergeant’s span of control by half, to eight.

In order to create these three new positions, the Lead CSO position would be eliminated and converted to a CSO Supervisor position and one CSO position would be eliminated and split into two Parking Ambassador positions.

Financial Implications: The salary tables for CSO Supervisor and Parking Ambassador are attached with this report.

CSO Supervisor will be a member of the Police Supervisor’s Association and will be eligible for the following incentives:
- Bilingual Pay
- Uniform Allowance
- Holiday Pay
- Longevity
Parking Ambassador will be a member of the Police Employee Association (Non-Sworn) and will be eligible for the following incentives:
- Bilingual Pay
- Uniform Allowance
468
Council Agenda Report- September 20, 2022 Page 3 of 3
- Holiday Pay
- Longevity
The following is a summary of the cost differences associated with these positions. The General Fund requires approximately an additional $12K in salaries and benefits budget. The parking garage fund requires an additional $77k (it is anticipated that this cost increase will be supported by additional revenue generated from parking enforcement), VHR fund needs to be reduced by $62k and Nuisance Abatement increased by $59k.

These differences were calculated based on the following new account distribution:

Account Old CSO Account Distribution New CSO Account
Distribution
100-02140 GF Code
Enforcement
30% 40%
218-05330 VHR 25% 15%
243-03803 Nuisance
Abatement
20% 40%
520-05320 Parking Garage 25% 5%
The two Parking Ambassadors will be 100% charged to the Parking Garage.

Currently, sufficient personnel expenditure budget is available in the adopted FY 2022-2023 budget to support these changes for the first six to eight months of the new fiscal year. All necessary budget amendments will be included with mid-year budget review, after the positions are hired and City Staff has a better sense of what additional revenue is generated from parking enforcement and what expenditure reallocation might be required.

Environmental Considerations: The proposed action is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) (creation of government funding mechanisms or government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment).

Policy Implications: This proposed personnel change supports the following strategic priorities:

Action Item 1 - Paid Parking and Enhanced Enforcement
Action Item 3 - Evaluation of City-Wide parking Management Strategies

4.3 Resident Retention and Work Force Development

A. The City of South Lake Tahoe is responsible for parking enforcement at the Village Shopping Center, the parking garage and parking on Bellamy. The CSO division also provides other essential enforcement with the city to include: VHR enforcement, nuisance abatement, abandoned vehicle abatement, and other various city code enforcement.

B. Finding qualified candidates applying to work as a CSO has proven to be difficult. CSOs are required to undergo a thorough background investigation due to their access to sensitive law enforcement and criminal justice data. The Parking Ambassador position is needed to fulfill parking enforcement duties within the Village Shopping Center, parking garage and Bellamy. Parking Ambassadors would not have access to criminal justice data; therefore, a background investigation is not needed.

C. A CSO Supervisor position is needed to address the entirety of the CSO Division. from ambassadorship to enforcement, to include collaboration with service providers, customer service, and ensure a smoothly run parking program.

D. The adoption of this resolution establishes the following new classifications and corresponding salary schedules:

CSO Supervisor 1 FTE
Parking Ambassador 2 FTE
E. The adoption of this resolution authorizes the elimination of the following positions:

Lead CSO 1 FTE
CSO 1 FTE
F. The budget amendments outlined in the staff report will be included with mid-year budget review, after the positions are hired and City Staff has a better sense of what additional revenue is generated from parking enforcement.

BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of South Lake Tahoe:
476
Resolution 2022-XXX September 20, 2022 Page 2 of 2

1. Finds that the above recitals are true, correct and a substantive part of this resolution
