Agenda Item Executive Summary
Joe Irvin, City Manager
Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Agenda Item #: 3
Agenda Item: Adoption of Non-Discrimination Implementation Plan Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Executive Summary: Title VI compliance is a condition of receipt of federal funds from the U.S.
Department of Transportation (“USDOT”) and the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). In addition, the City is required to comply with specific assurances in connection with grants issued by the FAA under the Airport Improvement Program, known as the “AIP Grant Assurances”, which include further non-discrimination obligations. The Title VI Coordinator is authorized to ensure compliance with this policy, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C § 2000d and related statutes, and the requirements of 23 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 200 and 49 CFR Part 21.
The City of South Lake Tahoe is committed to ensuring compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, Section 520; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities (“ADA”) Act of 1990, Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (“C.F.R.”), Part 21, and other non-discriminatory authorities, such that no person shall be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of any program or activity conducted by the City of South Lake on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other category protected by State or Federal law.
Requested Action / Suggested Motions: Pass a Resolution adopting the Title VI Implementation Plan conditions for receipt of federal funds from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Title: Adoption of Non-Discrimination Implementation Plan Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Anush Nejad, Director of Public Works – (530) 542-6031 Background: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides that no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination, under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance (as implemented through 23 CFR 200.9 and 49 CFR 21).
Title VI compliance is a condition of receipt of federal funds from the U.S. Department of Transportation (“USDOT”) and the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). The City also is required to comply with specific assurances in connection with grants issued by the FAA under the Airport Improvement Program, known as the “AIP Grant Assurances,” which include further nondiscrimination obligations.
The City of South Lake Tahoe is committed to ensuring compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 - Section 520, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 - Section 504, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities (“ADA”) Act of 1990, Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (“C.F.R.”) - Part 21, and other non-discriminatory authorities, such that no person shall be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of any program or activity conducted by the City of South Lake Tahoe for federally funded projects on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other category protected by State or Federal law.
Issue and Discussion: As a recipient of federal funds, U.S. DOT and Federal Aviation Administration require adopting a Title VI Implementation Plan. The Implementation Plan guides recipients of federal funds to take appropriate steps to ensure the implementation of Title VI requirements. Some of the major requirements are outlined below:
1. A Senior Executive Manager shall commit to implementing the Title IV Plan. The City Manager is designated as the senior manager responsible for implementing the Plan.
2. A Title VI Coordinator shall be assigned to ensure that all requirements are up to date, attend training, provide in-house training, and manage the complaints received per program direction. The Director of Public Works is assigned as the Title VI Coordinator.
3. Log all complaints and forward the complaints to either the California Department of Transportation or the Federal Aviation Administration for review and action. The City Clerk and the Director of Public Works will manage the receipt and transmission of the complaints to the appropriate agency.
24 Council Agenda Report- November 1, 2022 Page 2 of 2
4. The City must conduct a Four-Factor Analysis to address language barriers in federallyfunded programs and activities and ensure that all stakeholders have adequate opportunity to provide input. Based on this and an analysis of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) requirements, South Lake Tahoe must offer translation services for Spanish Speaking residents, which comprise 8.9% of the population, for projects and activities related to federally funded projects. These requirements may change due to changes in demographics.
5. The City of South Lake Tahoe must use the appropriate non-discrimination and Title VI clauses in federally funded contracts, leases, and concessionaire agreements.
6. The City must train staff responsible for managing federally funded contracts.
Financial Implications: Currently, City complies with Title VI and non-discrimination requirements. With the implementation of the Title VI Plan, there will be staff time in meeting the obligations of the Plan but would be absorbed with the current staffing level.
Environmental Considerations:Adoption of Title VI Plan is not a project subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.
Policy Implications: Adopting the Funding Plan resolution complies with Federal NonDiscrimination requirements. 25 CITY OF SOUTH LAKE TAHOE

Third Party Agreements and Contracts
The City does not discriminate against individuals within prescribed classes. The City further is required to pass on this obligation to tenants, contractors and many other entities doing business with the City in connection with the Airport.
The obligation to pass on non-discrimination requirements arises from multiple sources, perhaps the most direct of which is the AIP Grant Assurances. Assurance 31(e) provides as follows:
1. [The airport sponsor] will insert the non-discrimination contract clauses requiring compliance with the acts and regulations relative to non-discrimination in Federallyassisted programs of the DOT and incorporating the acts and regulations into the contracts by reference in every contract or agreement subject to the non-discrimination in Federallyassisted programs of the DOT acts and regulations.
2. It will include a list of the pertinent non-discrimination authorities in every contract that is subject to the non-discrimination acts and regulations.
3. It will insert non-discrimination contract clauses prohibition discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, creed, sex, age, or handicap as a covenant running with the land, in any future deeds, leases, license, permits, or similar instruments entered into by the sponsor with other parties:
a. For the subsequent transfer of real property acquired or improved under the applicable activity, project, or program; and
b. For the construction or use of, or access to, space on, over, or under real property acquired or improved under the applicable activity, project, or program.
AIP Grant Assurance 31 does not further specify which agreements must include these nondiscrimination provisions and what specific language must be included. USDOT and FAA have issued relevant guidance in (i) USDOT Order 1050.2A, DOT Standard Title VI Assurances and Non-discrimination Provisions and (ii) FAA Order 1400.11, Nondiscrimination in Federally-Assisted Programs at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (2013). Further, the FAA publishes and updates Contract Provision Guidelines for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects, which explains which agreements must include non-discrimination provisions and prescribes specific language for inclusion.
The USDOT and FAA guidance make clear that these non-discrimination provisions must be included in many types of agreements at the Airport and that very specific language must be used. As part of its compliance reviews, FAA routinely audits airport agreements for consistency with these requirements.

Complaint Procedure
The City of South Lake Tahoe is committed to ensuring compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other non-discriminatory authorities, such that no person shall be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of any program or activity conducted by the City of South Lake Tahoe on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other category protected by State or Federal law.
Any person that believes they have been discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other category protected by State or Federal law by the South Lake Tahoe, its contractors, consultants, airport operators and their lessees, tenants, concessionaires or contractors, or any other party that acts on behalf of the City may file a Title VI complaint by completing and submitting the City’s Title VI Complaint Form (Appendix C), which can be found displayed in the City Hall lobby, and online at www.cityofslt.us/TitleVI or visit the City of South Lake Tahoe administrative office at 1901 Lisa Maloff Way, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150, City Clerk’s Office.
The City’s Clerk will immediately provide a copy of the complaint to the City Attorney and the Public Works Director regarding the City of South Lake Tahoe program, activity, or service that is identified as being out of compliance. The Title VI Liaison will only process complaints that are complete, which include at a minimum, the following:
Complainant’s contact information
Date of the alleged act of discrimination
Details of the alleged discrimination
The complainant’s signature
Once the Title VI complaint is received, the Title VI Liaison will forward the complaint to Caltrans, to be submitted to the FHWA Division Office, or to FAA. The Title VI Liaison will also begin processing the complaint by entering said complaint into the City’s Title VI Discrimination Complaint Log.
Complaints Processed Under the Federal Highway Administration Title VI complaints filed with Caltrans in which Caltrans is named as the Respondent will be forwarded to the FHWA Division Office. The Complainant will receive an acknowledgement letter informing them that the complaint has been received and forwarded to the FHWA.

Per the FHWA Guidance Memorandum, Processing of Title VI Complaints, dated June 13, 2018, all Title VI complaints received by a sub-recipient (City of South Lake Tahoe) are to be forwarded to Caltrans to be submitted to FHWA Division Office. Complaints should be sent within one business day of receipt via email to [email protected]. If Headquarters Office of Civil Rights (HCR) determines a Title VI complaint against a subrecipient can be investigated by Caltrans, HCR may delegate the task of investigating the complaint to Caltrans for FHWA related complaints.
Caltrans OCR Investigation Process
If OCR is delegated the responsibility of performing an investigation, OCR has 90 days to investigate the complaint. If additional time is needed, OCR will call the Complainant and inform them.

A Limited English Proficiency (LEP) person is a person that does not speak English as a primary language and has a limited ability to read, write, or comprehend English. Per Executive Order 13166, agencies which receive Federal funding must examine their Federally-funded services and develop and implement processes that will allow LEP persons to meaningfully access said services. Executive Order 13166 also requires that agencies receiving Federal funding must establish guidance for providing meaningful access to LEPs, prepare a plan to overcome language barriers in Federally-funded programs and activities, and ensure that stakeholders have adequate opportunity to provide input.
As shown in Table 1 above, 8.9% of residents in South Lake Tahoe are considered LEP persons, with the majority of those LEP persons primarily speaking Spanish (73.3% of the LEP community), and Asian and Pacific Island Languages (20.6%) and Other IndoEuropean Languages (6.1% of the LEP community). As outlined in the City’s LEP Plan (Appendix A), the City has conducted an LEP Needs Assessment, using a Four Factor Analysis to identify the need and provide access to the LEP community in compliance with Executive Order 13166.
Title VI Information Dissemination
In order to ensure that Title VI and related Civil Rights information is readily available to the public, the City will develop public notices consisting of posters, flyers, complaint forms and “I Speak” cards that are available in English and Spanish. The languages selected for the informational materials were based upon language data provided from 37 Title VI Implementation Plan
City of South Lake Tahoe

Environmental Justice
In accordance with Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations), City Staff will identify and address the environmental effects of programs, policies, and activities on minority and low-income populations for Federally funded projects. Staff will consider demographic data during project design and involve the public in the planning and development process to assess the environmental impacts of projects on the community. The public’s input and demographic data analysis will enable staff to develop measures to mitigate any potential adverse effects on minority and low-income populations.
Data Collection and Analysis
Demographic and related data collected and used by City staff comes from governmental sources responsible for collecting and vetting the information for consistency and accuracy. These sources include, but are not limited to, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statics, U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, California Department of Finance, California Department of Labor, and the California Employment Development Department.
Additionally, staff may also collect project-specific demographic data utilizing data collection as appropriate through the public outreach process on Federally funded projects. Such outreach that may give Staff the opportunity to collect demographic data may include door hangers, posters, emails, social media releases, press releases to local newspaper, public meetings, virtual meetings, and public comment through websites generated for projects.
Contract Documents and Agreements
The City’s Title VI Coordinator will ensure that any Federally funded project documents contain the necessary Title VI Assurances and other languages. Such assurances include, but may not be limited to:
FHWA Form 1273 (Title VI and other non-discriminatory requirements) o Required on all FHWA contracts and subcontracts valued greater than $10,000
Title VI Assurances Appendix A-E

12 City of South Lake Tahoe
The City will continue to utilize the "Local Agency Construction Contract Administration Checklist" (Exhibit 15-A of the LAPM), which confirms that DBE and labor/Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) compliance requirements are performed and documented in the project files. Exhibit 15-A of the LAPM documents that the local agency will meet all the requirements prior to the award of a construction contract.
Lastly, the City will continue to utilize the "Resident Engineer’s Construction Contract Administration Checklist" (Exhibit 15-B of the LAPM) on federal-aid projects. The checklist assists in administering federal-aid highway construction projects and provides a record that the EEO/Wage Rate/False Statements posters are being posted at specific locations that employee interviews will be conducted in accordance with the Labor Compliance/EEO interview form, and that DBE requirements are met. City staff will continue to submit Exhibit 15-B, along with the Award Package shortly after award of the construction contract.
Training
The City of South Lake Tahoe Public Works Department will provide Title VI and related statute training to Public Works managers, supervisors, and staff with frequent public contact in the administration of federal-aid programs. These trainings will occur at minimum every two years, and within six months of hiring a new employee. The trainings will be conducted by the Title VI Coordinator , online through presentations, or through trainings hosted by Caltrans. Additionally, links to Caltrans, FHWA, and other applicable agency resources for Title VI and related statutes will be posted on the City’s website at www.cityofslt.us/TitleVI.

Appendix A - Limited Proficiency Plan
Background
Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency” requires that Federal agencies work to ensure that the recipients of Federal financial assistance provide meaningful access to their Limited English Proficiency (LEP) applicants and beneficiaries.
As such, local agencies are required to ensure that Federally-funded programs and activities normally provided in English are accessible to LEP Persons. Each local agency shall perform an annual assessment to determine if modifications are needed to their programs and activities to ensure meaningful access by LEP persons. The assessment which is referred to as a “Four- Factor” analysis is based on the following factors:
1. The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered.
2. The frequency of LEP contacts.
3. The nature and importance of the programs, services, or activities provided by the City of South Lake Tahoe.
4. The resources available for LEP persons
The City of South Lake Tahoe is approximately 100 miles east of Sacramento. The population of greater South Lake Tahoe (within 96150 area code) is approximately 26,415) (US Census: 2020 Census). Of the 26,415 residents, approximately 17.2% of the residents are Spanish speaking, and 8.5% of the residents are other Indo-European Language speaking, and 2.0% are Asian and Pacific Island language speakers. From Spanish Language group, 38% of the Spanish-speakingpopulation do not speak English very well.
Four-Factor Analysis
1. The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered.
As shown in Table 1 above, 8.98% of residents in South Lake Tahoe are considered LEP persons, with the majority of those LEP persons primarily speaking Spanish (73.3% of the community), and Asian and Pacific Island Languages (20.6%) and Other IndoEuropean Languages (6.1% of the community). 41 Title VI Implementation Plan
City of South Lake Tahoe
14 City of South Lake Tahoe
2. The frequency of LEP contacts.
No data has been collected regarding frequency of contact with LEP persons at the City.
Most interactions with LEP persons occur at front-counter staff. Currently the City’s Human Resources Department retains a list which lists all City staff which are certified translators for Spanish Speaking individuals. If front counter staff that speak either Spanish are not available, City staff will reach out to a certified translator from the list.
Public Works staff does not regularly receive requests for translation through Federally funded programs/projects, though the outreach components of said programs/projects do typically have multi-lingual resources. Further, if translation services are needed, staff will provide said translation in a timely manner.
3. The nature and importance of programs, services, or activities provided by the City of South Lake Tahoe.
From observation provided by Public Works staff, it is rare that translation services are requested for programs, services, or activities which are Federally-funded. However, staff is keenly aware that about 10% of the population are LEPs and therefore it is highly likely that LEPs will be stakeholder in some projects, programs and services. As such, when Staff has encountered the need for translation services, staff can provide the services readily.

City of South Lake Tahoe
15 City of South Lake Tahoe
4. The Resources Available for LEP persons.
After a review of the City’s currently available resources for LEP persons, the City has determined that the current available resources are lacking and inconsistent. The City will remedy the lack of resources, through the action plan listed in the next section.

Appendix F – Airport Public Notice
Unlawful Discrimination
49 CFR Part 21, App. C, § (b)(2)(ii) requires that the Airport “conspicuously display a sign, or signs, furnished by the FAA, in the main public area or areas of the airport, stating that discrimination based on race, color, or national origin is prohibited on the airport.” The same provision of Part 21 also requires the Airport to “[m]ake a copy of [Part 21] available at his office for inspection during normal working hours by any person asking for it.” The Airport can satisfy this requirement by printing a copy of Part 21 and making it available in the Airport Administration office and/or providing a link to Part 21 on the Airport website.
In addition, the Airport should post a notice on the Airport website containing the City’s nondiscrimination policy and information regarding the process for filing a complaint. This notice should be a direct link from the Airport homepage and, if not, available through another page that can be accessed from the Airport homepage.
The following sample language will be used for the Airport website:
All entities that receive federal financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Transportation must comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, Section 520; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504; and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Act of 1990.

Appendix G – City Employment Practices
The City does not discriminate in its employment practices on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin or sex. This prohibition arises from multiple sources, including Title VI, 49 U.S.C. § 47123, 49 C.F.R. Part 21, and AIP Grant Assurance 30. Section 21.5(c) specifically addresses discriminatory employment practices, and Part 21, App. C, Section (a)(1)(ix) states, “Employment at obligated airports, including employment by tenants and concessionaires shall be available to all regardless of race, creed, color, sex, or national origin. 58 Title VI Implementation Plan

31 City of South Lake Tahoe
Appendix H – City Training
Training is essential for successful compliance. Understanding the nature of Title VI and the steps that employees, tenants and others must take should provide a basis of knowledge when interacting with members of the public or those who wish to provide services at the City or Airport. The value of such training is to raise the awareness level about Title VI and its obligations, as well as to ensure appropriate compliance. The City and Airport conducts routine training as part of its FHWA and FAA compliance requirements, and a module for the Title VI program.
Employees, tenants and other appropriate individuals should receive Title VI training on an annual basis. A Title VI training course should include the following training elements:
• Title VI and its key elements
• Airport obligation and compliance measures
• Complaint procedures

Acuerdos y contratos
La Ciudad no discrimina a las personas dentro de las clases prescritas. Además, la ciudad está obligada a transmitir esta obligación a los inquilinos, contratistas y muchas otras entidades que hacen negocios con la ciudad en relación con el aeropuerto.
La obligación de transmitir los requisitos de no discriminación se deriva de múltiples fuentes, siendo quizás la más directa las garantías de subvención del AIP. La garantía 31(e) establece lo siguiente
1. [El patrocinador] insertará las cláusulas contractuales de no discriminación que exigen el cumplimiento de las leyes y reglamentos relativos a la no discriminación en los programas con ayuda federal del DOT, e incorporará las leyes y reglamentos a los contratos por referencia en cada contrato o acuerdo sujeto a las leyes y reglamentos de no discriminación en los programas con ayuda federal del DOT.
2. Incluirá una lista de las autoridades pertinentes en materia de no discriminación en cada contrato sujeto a las leyes y reglamentos de no discriminación.
3. Incluirá cláusulas contractuales antidiscriminatorias que prohíban la discriminación por motivos de raza, color, origen nacional, credo, sexo, edad o discapacidad, como un pacto que se aplica a todas las escrituras, arrendamientos, licencias, permisos o instrumentos similares que celebre el promotor con otras partes:
a. Para la posterior transferencia de bienes inmuebles adquiridos o mejorados en el marco de la actividad, proyecto o programa aplicable; y
b. Para la construcción o el uso de un espacio, o el acceso al mismo, sobre o debajo de una propiedad inmobiliaria adquirida o mejorada en el marco de la actividad, proyecto o programa aplicable.
La garantía de subvención 31 del AIP no especifica qué acuerdos deben incluir estas disposiciones de no discriminación ni qué lenguaje específico debe incluirse. El USDOT y la FAA han publicado orientaciones pertinentes en (i) la Orden 1050.2A del USDOT, DOT Standard Title VI Assurances and Non-discrimination Provisions y (ii) la Orden 1400.11 de la FAA, Nondiscrimination in Federally-Assisted Programs at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (2013). Además, la FAA publica y actualiza las Directrices sobre Disposiciones Contractuales para Patrocinadores Obligados y Proyectos de Programas de Mejora de Aeropuertos, que explican qué acuerdos deben incluir disposiciones de no discriminación y prescriben un lenguaje específico para su inclusión.
Las directrices del USDOT y de la FAA dejan claro que estas disposiciones de no discriminación deben incluirse en muchos tipos de acuerdos en el aeropuerto y que debe utilizarse un lenguaje muy específico. Como parte de sus revisiones de cumplimiento, la FAA audita rutinariamente los acuerdos de los aeropuertos para comprobar su coherencia con estos requisitos

Una persona con conocimientos limitados de inglés (LEP) es una persona que no habla inglés como lengua principal y tiene una capacidad limitada para leer, escribir o comprender el inglés. Según la Orden Ejecutiva 13166, las agencias que reciben fondos federales tienen que examinar sus servicios financiados por el gobierno federal y desarrollar e implementar procesos que permitan a las personas con LEP acceder de manera significativa a dichos servicios. La Orden Ejecutiva 13166 también exige que las agencias que reciben financiación federal establezcan orientaciones para proporcionar un acceso significativo a las personas con capacidad limitada de inglés, preparen un plan para superar las barreras lingüísticas en los programas y actividades financiados por el gobierno federal, y se aseguren de que las partes interesadas tengan la oportunidad adecuada de hacer sus aportaciones.
Como se muestra en la Tabla 1, el 8,9% de los residentes de South Lake Tahoe se consideran personas LEP, con la mayoría de dichas personas LEP hablando principalmente español (73,3% de la comunidad), y lenguas asiáticas y de las islas del Pacífico (20,6%) y otras lenguas indoeuropeas (6,1% de la comunidad). Como se indica en el Plan de LEP de la ciudad (Apéndice A), la ciudad ha realizado una evaluación de las necesidades de LEP, utilizando un análisis de cuatro factores para identificar la necesidad y proporcionar acceso a la comunidad LEP en cumplimiento de la Orden Ejecutiva 13166.

Justicia ambiental
De acuerdo con la Orden Ejecutiva 12898 (Acciones Federales para Abordar la Justicia Ambiental en las Poblaciones Minoritarias y de Bajos Ingresos), el personal de la ciudad identificará y abordará los efectos ambientales de los programas, políticas y actividades en las poblaciones minoritarias y de bajos ingresos para los proyectos financiados por el gobierno federal. El personal tendrá en cuenta los datos demográficos durante el diseño de los proyectos e incorporará al público en el proceso de planificación y desarrollo para evaluar los impactos ambientales de los proyectos en la comunidad. Las aportaciones del público y el análisis de los datos demográficos permitirán al personal desarrollar medidas para mitigar cualquier posible efecto adverso sobre las poblaciones minoritarias y de bajos ingresos.
Recopilación y análisis de datos
Los datos demográficos y afines recogidos y utilizados por el personal de la ciudad proceden de fuentes gubernamentales responsables de recoger y examinar la información para comprobar su coherencia y exactitud. Estas fuentes incluyen, entre otras, la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales de los Estados Unidos, la Oficina del Censo de EE.UU., la Oficina de Análisis Económico de EE.UU., el Departamento de Finanzas de California, el Departamento de Trabajo de California y el Departamento de Desarrollo del Empleo de California.
Además, el personal también puede recopilar datos demográficos específicos del proyecto utilizando la recopilación de datos, según el caso, a través del proceso de divulgación pública de los proyectos financiados con fondos federales. Dicha divulgación, que puede dar al personal la oportunidad de recopilar datos demográficos, puede incluir colgantes en las puertas, carteles, correos electrónicos, comunicados en las redes sociales, comunicados de prensa en los periódicos locales, reuniones públicas, reuniones virtuales y comentarios del público a través de los sitios web generados para los proyectos.
Documentos y acuerdos contractuales
El coordinador del Título VI de la Ciudad se asegurará de que todos los documentos de los proyectos financiados con fondos federales contengan las garantías necesarias del Título VI y otros idiomas. Tales garantías incluyen, pero no se limitan a:
Formulario 1273 de la FHWA (Título VI y otros requisitos de no discriminación) o Se requiere en todos los contratos y subcontratos de la FHWA que tengan un valor que exceda de $10,000
Garantías del Título VI Apéndice A-E

Acuerdo" en el Manual del Programa de Asistencia Local (LAPM) en los contratos y acuerdos, cuando sea aplicable, entre la Ciudad y los contratistas.
La ciudad continuará utilizando la "Lista de comprobación de la administración de contratos de construcción de la agencia local" (Anexo 15-A del LAPM), que confirma que los requisitos de cumplimiento de las DBE y de la mano de obra/igualdad de oportunidades de empleo (EEO) se llevan a cabo y se documentan en los ficheros del proyecto. El Anexo 15-A del LAPM documenta que la agencia local cumplirá con todos los requisitos antes de la adjudicación de un contrato de construcción.
Finalmente, la ciudad continuará utilizando la "Lista de comprobación de la administración del contrato de construcción del ingeniero residente" (Anexo 15-B del LAPM) en los proyectos asistidos por el gobierno federal. La lista de comprobación asiste en la administración de proyectos de construcción de carreteras bajo fondos federales y proporciona un registro de que los carteles de EEO/tasa salarial/declaraciones falsas se están colocando en lugares específicos, que las entrevistas a los empleados se llevarán a cabo de acuerdo con el formulario de entrevista de Cumplimiento Laboral/EEO, y que se cumplen los requisitos DBE.
El personal de la ciudad seguirá presentando el Anexo 15-B, junto con el Paquete de Adjudicación, poco después de la adjudicación del contrato de construcción Formación
El Departamento de Obras Públicas de la Ciudad de South Lake Tahoe proporcionará capacitación sobre el Título VI y el estatuto relacionado a los gerentes de Obras Públicas, supervisores y personal que tenga contacto frecuente con el público en la administración de programas de asistencia federal. Estos entrenamientos ocurrirán por lo menos cada dos años, y dentro de seis meses de contratar a un nuevo empleado. Las formaciones serán dirigidas por el coordinador del Título VI, en línea a través de presentaciones, o a través de cursos organizados por Caltrans. Además, los enlaces a Caltrans, FHWA, y otros recursos de la agencia aplicable para el Título VI y los estatutos relacionados se publicarán en el sitio web de la Ciudad en www.cityofslt.us/TitleVI.
En particular, se tratarán los siguientes puntos en las formaciones:
Revisión del Plan de Aplicación del Título VI de South Lake Tahoe y otros documentos pertinentes
Servicios de asistencia lingüística y "I Speak Cards" ofrecidas al público Cómo gestionar las posibles reclamaciones
Dónde buscar ayuda para las preguntas e inquietudes relacionadas con el Título VI Planificación anual

Apéndice A
Plan de conocimiento limitado
Información:
La Orden Ejecutiva 13166, "Mejora del acceso a los servicios para las personas con un conocimiento limitado del inglés", exige que las agencias federales trabajen para garantizar que los receptores de la ayuda financiera federal proporcionen un acceso significativo a sus solicitantes y beneficiarios con un conocimiento limitado del inglés (LEP).
Como tal, las agencias locales están obligadas a garantizar que los programas y actividades financiados por el gobierno federal normalmente proporcionados en inglés sean accesibles a las personas con LEP. Cada agencia local deberá realizar una evaluación anual para determinar si se necesitan modificaciones en sus programas y actividades para garantizar un acceso significativo a las personas con capacidad limitada de inglés. La evaluación, que se conoce como un análisis de "cuatro factores", se basa los siguientes factores:
1. El número o la proporción de personas con capacidad limitada de inglés que pueden ser atendidas o que pueden ser afectadas.
2. La frecuencia de los contactos con el LEP.
3. La importancia y calidad de los programas, servicios o actividades que ofrece la ciudad de South Lake Tahoe.
4. Los recursos disponibles para las personas LEP
La Ciudad de South Lake Tahoe se encuentra aproximadamente a 100 millas al este de Sacramento. La población de South Lake Tahoe (dentro del código de área 96150) es de aproximadamente 26415 habitantes (Censo de los Estados Unidos: Censo 2020). De los 26415 residentes, aproximadamente el 17,2% de los residentes son hispanohablantes, y el 8,5% de los residentes son hablantes de otras lenguas indoeuropeas, y el 2,0% son hablantes de lenguas asiáticas y de las islas del Pacífico.
Del grupo de lengua española, el 38% de la población hispanohablante no tiene un buen conocimiento del inglés.
Análisis de cuatro factores
1. El número o la proporción de personas con capacidad limitada de inglés que pueden ser atendidas o que pueden ser afectadas.
Como se muestra en la Tabla 1, el 8,98% de los residentes de South Lake Tahoe se consideran personas LEP, y la mayoría de esas personas LEP hablan principalmente español (73,3% de la comunidad), y lenguas asiáticas y de las islas del Pacífico (20,6%) y otras lenguas indoeuropeas (6,1% de la comunidad). 75 Plan de ejecución del Título VICiudad

2. La frecuencia de los contactos con el LEP.
Los datos sobre la frecuencia de los contactos con las personas con capacidad limitada de inglés en la ciudad no se han recogido. La mayoría de las interacciones con personas LEP se producen con el personal de la oficina. Actualmente, el Departamento de Recursos Humanos de la Ciudad mantiene una lista que enumera a todo el personal de la Ciudad que son traductores certificados para las personas de habla español. Si el personal no habla español, la ciudad se pondrá en contacto con un traductor certificado de la lista.
El personal de Obras Públicas no recibe regularmente solicitudes de traducción a través de programas/proyectos financiados por el gobierno federal, aunque los componentes de divulgación de dichos programas/proyectos suelen tener recursos multilingües.
Además, si se necesitan servicios de traducción, el personal proporcionará dicha traducción de manera puntual.
3. La importancia y calidad de los programas, servicios o actividades que ofrece la ciudad de South Lake Tahoe.
De acuerdo con lo observado por el personal de Obras Públicas, es raro que se soliciten servicios de traducción para programas, servicios o actividades financiados con fondos federales. Sin embargo, el personal es muy consciente de que alrededor del 10% de la población es LEP y, por lo tanto, es muy probable que los LEP sean parte interesada en algunos proyectos, programas y servicios. Por lo tanto, cuando el personal se ha encontrado con la necesidad de servicios de traducción, el personal puede proporcionar los servicios fácilmente
Recursos disponibles para las personas LEP
Tras una revisión de los recursos actualmente disponibles en la ciudad para las personas con capacidad limitada de inglés, la ciudad ha determinado que los recursos actuales disponibles son escasos e inconsistentes. La ciudad pondrá remedio a la falta de recursos, a través del plan de acción enumerado en la siguiente sección.
Plan de acción
Para garantizar el cumplimiento del Título VI, y la Orden Ejecutiva 13166 las siguientes publicaciones y servicios estarán disponibles para el uso de las personas LEP:
a. Declaración de política de no discriminación
i. La declaración se imprimirá en inglés y en español. Dicha declaración se colocará en el vestíbulo del Ayuntamiento en un lugar bien visible. b. Cartel de derechos del Título VI
76 Plan de ejecución del Título VICiudad
de South Lake Tahoe
16 City of South Lake Tahoe
i. Los carteles se imprimirán en inglés y español. Dichos carteles se colocarán en el vestíbulo del Ayuntamiento en un lugar bien visible, y habrá copias adicionales disponibles para que el público las revise y las tome.
c. Formulario de quejas del Título VI
i. Los formularios de quejas se imprimirán en inglés y español. Dichos formularios estarán en el vestíbulo del Ayuntamiento en un lugar bien visible. d. Tarjetas I Speak
i. Se producirán tarjetas I Speak para identificar fácilmente los servicios de traducción necesarios para el inglés y el español. Dichas tarjetas se colocarán en todos los mostradores públicos y con el resto de la información del Título VI. e. Página web del Título VI en el sitio web de la ciudad Todos los recursos del Título VI de la ciudad se publicarán en el sitio web de la ciudad en el siguiente enlace: www.cityofslt.us/TitleVI.
f. Planificación y proyectos futuros
i. Obras Públicas se asegurará de que todos los futuros proyectos y documentos de planificación que sean financiados por el gobierno federal utilicen métodos de alcance que cumplan con el Título VI y otras garantías no discriminatorias relacionadas. ii. Además, la ciudad se asegurará de que los materiales de divulgación estén disponibles en inglés y en español y de que haya traductores disponibles según sea necesario para cualquier persona con conocimientos limitados de inglés que desee contribuir o participar.
Por último, el coordinador del Título VI solicitará al Departamento de Recursos Humanos una lista actualizada de traductores certificados cada seis meses y distribuirá dicha lista a aquellos que podrían encontrarse con personas con conocimientos limitados de inglés, de forma que se pueda contactar con un traductor en el momento en que se necesite.
Para asegurar el cumplimiento continuo, la Ciudad revisará el Plan de Implementación del Título VI y el Plan de Conocimiento Limitado del inglés regularmente, pero al menos, cuando los nuevos datos del Censo de los Estados Unidos estén disponibles. A medida que se creen nuevas normativas, la Ciudad actuará con prontitud para actualizar los planes existentes y los recursos pertinentes.

Discriminación ilegal
49 CFR Parte 21, Apéndice.

La misma disposición de la Parte 21 también exige que el aeropuerto "ponga una copia de la [Parte 21] a disposición de cualquier persona que la solicite en su oficina para su inspección durante el horario laboral normal". El Aeropuerto puede cumplir este requisito imprimiendo una copia de la Parte 21 y poniéndola a disposición en la oficina de la Administración del Aeropuerto y/o proporcionando un enlace a la Parte 21 en el sitio web del Aeropuerto.
Además, el Aeropuerto debería publicar un aviso en el sitio web del Aeropuerto que contenga la política de no discriminación de la ciudad e información sobre el proceso para presentar una queja. Este aviso debe ser un enlace directo desde la página principal del Aeropuerto y, si no, debe estar disponible a través de otra página a la que se pueda acceder desde la página principal del Aeropuerto.

Formación de la ciudad
La formación es esencial para el éxito del cumplimiento. La comprensión de la naturaleza del Título VI y de los pasos que deben seguir los empleados, los arrendatarios y otras personas debe proporcionar una base de conocimiento cuando se interactúa con miembros del público o con quienes desean prestar servicios en la Ciudad o el Aeropuerto. El valor de dicha formación es elevar el nivel de concienciación sobre el Título VI y sus obligaciones, así como garantizar un cumplimiento adecuado. La Ciudad y el Aeropuerto llevan a cabo una formación rutinaria como parte de sus requisitos de cumplimiento de la FHWA y la FAA, y un módulo para el programa del Título VI.
Los empleados, inquilinos y otras personas apropiadas deben recibir formación sobre el Título VI con carácter anual. Un curso de formación sobre el Título VI debe incluir los siguientes elementos de formación:

Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Title: Police Boat Safety and Enforcement Program Funding 2023/24 Location: Police Department
Responsible Staff Member: Chief David Stevenson, (530) 545-2765 Background: The City provides a Police Boating Safety and Enforcement Program each year for residents and visitors of our community. This program begins approximately two weeks prior to Memorial Day weekend and ends approximately two weeks after Labor Day weekend. The program is funded every year by a state boating safety grant combined with El Dorado County vessel property taxes. The program provides the city with funding to staff the Police Department patrol boat on the waters of Lake Tahoe during this time.
Issue and Discussion: The Police Boating Safety Program is funded by two revenue sources. The first source is financial aid from California State Parks, Division of Boating and Waterways. The South Lake Tahoe Police Department applies for this aid annually. The financial aid period is from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 and will be submitted to request a program cost reimbursement of $74,203.92 in financial aid from California State Parks, Division of Boating and Waterways.
The second revenue source is from El Dorado County vessel property taxes. The amount of vessel property taxes allocated for the City’s Police Boating Safety and Enforcement Program for the 2023/2024 fiscal year is $75,110.00. Provided the financial aid application is approved by California State Parks, Division of Boating and Waterways, these two funding sources combined, will fund the city’s Police Boating Safety and Enforcement Program for a total program budget up to $149,313.92 To receive this funding, California State Parks requires the City Council authorize the Mayor, or their designee, to sign the application for financial aid and the financial aid program agreement. They also require authorization for the Mayor, or their designee, to sign each reimbursement claim on behalf of the city per the agreement.
Financial Implications: There will be no additional impact to the general fund. The program will be funded as described above in the amount up to $149,313.92. Expenditures for the program will be reimbursed quarterly. Effective July 1, 2023; budget in account # 237 02110 should be amended as follows:
Revenue: #33211 $74,203.92
#31120 $75,110.00
96 Council Agenda Report - November 1, 2022 Page 2 of 2 Expenditures: #41020 (Personnel) $104,188.92
#43025 (R & M) $10,000.00
#46120 (Tools/Parts) $35,125.00
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: The police boating safety program supports the City of South Lake Tahoe’s Strategic Plan “5.1 – Public Safety”.

The South Lake Tahoe Police Department operates a full time Boating Safety Program during the summer months from May 15th through the Labor Day weekend. At present two full time officers and one part time officer patrol the city’s incorporated waters of Lake Tahoe, however, because of the interstate compact with Nevada and mutual aid, the patrol boat responds into neighboring jurisdictional waters on a daily basis to handle calls for service. Boating safety and enforcement along with search and rescue and boater education are the primary missions of the department's boating safety program. 105

Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Agenda Item #: 5
Agenda Item: Appropriation of $150,000 of Airport Revenue for Airport Operations and Capital Improvement Project Transfer of $112,875 from Airport to General Fund Executive Summary: With the anticipated additional fees from Airport Users, the Airport would like to appropriate $150,000 from its updated revenues to help with the operational needs that have been deferred. With the new fee structure, the revenues and expenses will increase, but general fund subsidies will decrease. This will allow the Airport to help the users without requesting additional General Fund.
Also, with the cost savings from the General Aviation Ramp Reconstruction project, the Airport will be able to transfer $112,875 back to the General Fund, which will help eliminate General Fund subsidies to the Airport.
Requested Action / Suggested Motions: Pass a Resolution Authorizing Revenue and Expense Budget Amendments due to the Adoption of the New Airport User Rates and Charges.

Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Title: Appropriation of Funds for the Airport and Capital Improvement Program Transfer Application Location: City Airport
Responsible Staff Member: John Dickinson, Airport Manager (530) 542-6182 Background: The City Council approved the new Airport Rate Study at the October 4, 2022, meeting. With the anticipated additional fees collected from Airport Users, the Airport would like to appropriate $150,000.00 from its updated revenues to help with the operational needs that can be used for deferred maintenance, equipment, and overtime. The approved new fee structure will increase revenues and expenses but reduce the need for General Funds. This will allow Airport to support its users without requesting additional funds from the General Fund Reserves.
In addition, the Airport will be receiving additional funding due to the sale of land coverage of approximately $254,000.00, which has been invoiced. Finally, with the cost savings of the Airport’s General Aviation Ramp Reconstruction project budgeted in account 50180047, the Airport will be transferring approximately $112,000.00 back to the General Fund to help offset the subsidy of the Airport.
Issue and Discussion: With the approved new rates, the Airport will receive additional revenues, which will allow for more projects to be completed and helps address the operational needs. Below are the rates that are adjusted and proposed to be adjusted along with the additional revenue they are estimated to generate:
Additional for Hangars 2022-2023 Approximately $220,000.00 Adopted Fuel Flowage 2022-2023 Approximately $20,000.00 Adopted Rent for City 2022-2023 Approximately $11,000.00 Adopted Landing fee 2022-2023 Approximately $50,000.00 To be considered If the City adopts the new landing fees, the Airport will have approximately $300,000.00 in additional revenue based on the new rates that would go into effect on January 1st, 2023. The revisions to landing fees will be presented to City Council on November 15th, 2022. If Council decides not to adopt the increase in Landing fees, it is expected that the Airport will have approximately $250,000.00 in additional revenue for FY 2022-2023. It is estimated that with the sale of the land coverage for Sugar Pine, the Airport should be able to break even by the end of the FY.
With the cost savings from the General Aviation Ramp Reconstruction project, a total of $112,000.00 can be returned to the General Fund to help offset any Airport subsidies. 107
Council Agenda Report- November 1, 2022 Page 2 of 2
Financial Implications:
Staff is requesting additional revenue and expense appropriations, as well as budget amendments to reduce General Fund subsidy in FY 2022-2023 and to transfer the airport capital project balance back to the General Fund, as detailed below:
The total change in the General Fund budget subsidy resulting from the airport net revenue increase is a reduction of $100,000. Additional reduction will be evaluated and requested at midyear based on the upcoming proposed landing fees increase and the status of the airport land coverage sale.
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: The appropriation of funds will help with the operations of the Airport, and the transfer of cost savings back from the Grant will help offset the subsidy from the General Fund.

Title: Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budgeted Funds Re-Appropriation Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Members: Olga Tikhomirova, Director of Finance (530)542-7431 Background: The City of South Lake Tahoe budget policy provides for the carryover of operating program appropriations if funds are unspent and purchases are not fully received, or services could not be fully completed during the fiscal year.
Issue and Discussion: This staff report is to advise City Council of funds that need to be re-appropriated. The listed re-appropriated purchases were either not fully received, or services could not be completed by September 30, 2022, and are still needed in the new fiscal year. The annual practice of brining forward this re-appropriation request is intended to keep the City Council and the general public fully informed. It is consistent with the City Council’s adopted budget policies.
Financial Implications: The City of South Lake Tahoe Budget Preparation Policy, adopted by the City Council, provides for the carryover of operating program appropriations:
C. Operating Carryover - Operating program appropriations not spent during the fiscal year will not automatically carry-over into the next fiscal year, and shall lapse at year-end.
These un-spent appropriations shall be subject to re-appropriation into the subsequent fiscal year, except for long-term projects in progress that are carried forward to the following year and reserved for encumbrances.
The current fiscal year budget for 2022-2023 will be amended by a total amount of $15,085,941. This amount is to pay for obligations, including approved grants and loans, that were budgeted and not fully received or could not be completed in the 2021-2022 fiscal year.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Title: Amendment to Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Landing Locals for continued administration of the “Lease to Locals” Rental Incentive Grant Program Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Zach Thomas, Housing Manager (530) 542-7400 Background: At its August 3, 2021 meeting, the City Council was presented potential strategies to incentivize the use of existing vacant housing stock to convert to long-term rental housing. After the staff presentation and discussion by the City Council, direction was given to staff to finalize a scope of work with Landing Locals to administer a pilot rental incentive grant program.
At its October 19, 2021 meeting, the City Council adopted a resolution appropriating $500,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to initiate the long-term rental incentive grant pilot program and authorized the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Landing Locals to administer the program. The resolution allocated $86,000 for program administration and marketing costs as well as $200,000 for incentive grants to property owners. Staff was also directed to initiate a Request for Proposals (RFP) to use $214,000 for a property management incentive program.
Upon entering into the PSA, City staff and Landing Locals finalized the program guidelines consistent with the parameters approved by the City Council and launched the program in December under the name “Lease to Locals”.
At its August 9, 2022 meeting, the City Council was provided an update as to the success of the program as well as a recommendation to reallocate the $214,000 for continued operation of the existing program without a property management incentive. After a staff presentation and discussion by the City Council, the Council reallocated the remaining $214,000 for continued operation the program through the end of 2023 and directed staff to bring an amended PSA for continued administration of the program by Landing Locals back to Council for approval. The City Council also authorized modifying the program guidelines consistent with key findings and data collected during operation of the program. Program guideline have been modified as directed by the City Council.
Issue and Discussion: At approximately three-quarters through its first year, the Lease to Locals program has built significant “brand recognition” which has proven valuable in the spring and summer months to increase interest in what are typically busy times for the real estate and rental markets. As of the date of this report the program has housed 41 residents with another 13 residents in the process of completing applications, leases and income 117
Council Agenda Report November 1, 2022 Page 2 of 2
verification. This will bring the total to 54 people housed which is more than half of the original 100 residents ($200,000) budgeted for.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the amended PSA and scope of work provided by Landing Locals and authorize the Mayor to enter into the attached Amendment No. 1 for continued administration of the “Lease to Locals” Rental Incentive Grant Program until January 15, 2024 to coincide with the administrative billing cycle. The PSA is for a term of 14 months and ensures that the program will continue to operate under the modified guidelines. The monthly administrative fee charged by Landing Locals has increased from $6,000 to $7,500 per month as a result of increased business costs associated with both direct personnel costs and the increased workload of administering and processing a greater number of applications and grants.
Financial Implications: In October of 2021, Council appropriated $500,000 of ARPA funds for the operation of the program into the Long-Term Rental Incentive Pilot Program account 320-30003 allocated between Professional Services ($86,000), Grant Program ($200,000), and Property Maintenance Incentive Program ($214,000). The budget from the Incentive Program will be reallocated based on the amended PSA to include an additional $100,000 for grants, $105,000 for program administration fees and $9,000 for marketing. With this expansion the program is anticipated to house 150 individuals.
Environmental Considerations: The recommendation in this report is not a project under CEQA, because it does not involve any commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, as contemplated by Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(2) and 15378(b)(4) and is, therefore, not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3).
Policy Implications: The effort to increase the use of existing housing stock for longterm rental is identified as the first housing action item in the City’s 2021-2026 Strategic Plan.
The Lease to Locals program is also consistent with the following adopted General Plan Housing Element policies and programs:
Policy 1-1 The City shall adopt programs, ordinances, incentives, land use plans and other regulatory mechanisms that provide opportunities for the private sector to address the housing needs of citizens of all economic levels.
Policy 2-3 The City shall encourage a range of housing options so that people who work in South Lake Tahoe can choose to live in the City.
Policy 2-5 The City shall recognize that it will become difficult to attract employees if they cannot afford to purchase or rent housing in South Lake Tahoe. The City shall encourage and support programs and activities that create a robust local economy that provides residents with good paying employment and the means to purchase and/or rent housing in the City.

Re: Scope of Work to Administer The Long-Term Rental Grant Pilot Program for The City of South Lake Tahoe
The Long-Term Rental Grant Program (the “Program”), originally piloted in Truckee, is geared at increasing the inventory of rental homes for local households. Long-term rental inventory is added to the local housing market by offering homeowners a one-time cash grant to encourage property owners to convert their homes and rooms into long-term rentals.
The following scope of work and budget are intended to respond to the City of South Lake Tahoe’s desire to test an incentive program to respond to the local-housing crisis residents face.
Incentive Structure
1. Incentive Amount
2. Term of Leases Permitted
3. Type of Properties allowed
4. Tenant Employment Restrictions
(1) Incentive Amount:
$2,000 grant per local housed (including children), up to $10,000 per home, with “local” defined below. The grant will be broken up into two payments: One at lease signing, and one at the 12-month mark

DocuSign Envelope ID: 21F23F9A-DC9D-4E9B-8BFA-556AD123912F DocuSign Envelope ID: B894CE9C-D72B-4F15-935E-718EEECD6521 133
(2) Term of Lease
Property owner would be required to sign a 12-month lease with the tenant(s) (3) Type of Units Allowed
First and foremost, we want to ensure that the properties and rooms participating in the Program were not previously long-term rentals and we are unlocking new housing units. Target housing inventory for the Program includes short-term rentals with expired permits, vacation and second homes, or rooms that are empty due to changes in property use or ownership (converting an office, empty nesters, recently purchased properties, etc.).
There are two requirements for the property:
1. The following types of housing units that will be eligible in the program:
● Single family homes, townhomes, and condos
● Room rentals (must be owner-occupied property)
2. The property must be located in the city limits of South Lake Tahoe. (4) Tenant Qualification Requirements:
Household income must not exceed 125% of the Area Median Income (AMI). For unrelated adults we will take the average of the income of each of the adults in the household.
Program Tasks
The following outlines the tasks that Landing Locals will complete to help administer the Program for the City of South Lake Tahoe.
1) Outreach and Education
Working with local homeowners, property managers, realtors, and other real estate professionals to get the word out about the program and ensure they understand how it works and how they can qualify for the incentive. This includes building a dedicated webpage on LandingLocals.com and dedicated (530) phone number for the program. 2) Customer Service
Responding to all inbound inquiries via web, email, and phone for qualifying properties to ensure homeowners understand the program and how they can qualify for the grant.. landing Locals will compile feedback on the program to inform program modifications.
3) Administration
Working with Staff to ensure we have backend operations to process and approve the grants. This includes setting up systems like Excel Spreadsheets and Dropbox folder.
Landing Locals would review leases, qualify tenants, and ensure property owners receive grant payment(s). To process the grants, Landing Locals will provide the City Staff with:

● A signed copy of the lease agreement signed by property owner/manager and tenant(s)
● A w9 and check request from the property owner
● Supporting Income verification (w2, paystub, or tax return) to ensure household income does not exceed 125% AMI
4) Reporting
We'd identify a cadence for meeting and reporting out to stakeholders (Staff, Council).
We'd provide bi-weekly updates to Staff on results vs. targets and feedback we are hearing from renters, homeowners, property managers, and the public. 5) Auditing
Landing Locals would ensure the full lease term was executed and tenants are still meeting employment/income requirements by following up directly with the tenant and landlord. Landing Locals would also report back on the landlord's intentions after the initial lease to see what units remain long term rentals and which ones go back to their original use.

Dec 1, 2021 — Nov 30, 2022
Housing Grants: $200,000
● up to 100 housing grants at $2,000/each

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Title: Ordinance Increasing City Council Compensation (Second Reading) Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Susan Blankenship, City Clerk (530) 542-6005 Background: The process for increasing City Council compensation is set forth by Sections 36516 and 36516.5 of the California Government Code:
Government Code Section 36516(a)(4) The salary of council members may be increased beyond the amount provided in this subdivision by an ordinance or by an amendment to an ordinance, but the amount of the increase shall not exceed an amount equal to 5 percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted. No ordinance shall be enacted or amended to provide automatic future increases in salary.
Government Code Section 36516.5. A change in compensation does not apply to a council member during the council member’s term of office. This prohibition shall not prevent the adjustment of the compensation of all members of a council serving staggered terms whenever one or more members of the city council becomes eligible for a salary increase by virtue of the council member beginning a new term of office.
During the October 4, 2022 meeting, City Council passed a Motion to hold a first reading (by title only) of an Ordinance Increasing the City Council Compensation to $1,264.86 per month, effective January 23, 2023, and referred second reading and adoption to the November 1, 2022 meeting.
Issue and Discussion: City Council is eligible for an increase in compensation of up to 5 percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last salary adjustment following the November 8, 2022, election, when three Council members will begin new terms of office.
Financial Implications: The total cost increase for 2022/2023 is $5,715 and is not currently included in the 2022-2023 budget and will need to be allocated from the undesignated general fund balance if approved.
Environmental Considerations: The increase to City Council Compensation is 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 is can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the 141
Council Agenda Report November 1, 2022 Page 2 of 2
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review.
Policy Implications: An increase of City Council compensation is consistent with the California Government Code.

Report to South Tahoe Joint
Powers Parking Financing
Authority
Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Title: Amendment to the Contract with Walker Consultants for the City Parking Garage Access and Revenue Control System and Modification Project Location: One Bellamy County, South Lake Tahoe
Responsible Staff Member: Anush Nejad, Director of Public Works (530) 542- 6031 Background: On April 5, 2022, the South Tahoe Joint Powers Parking Financing Authority entered into an agreement with Walker Consultants to evaluate the City Parking Garage and provide recommendations to upgrade the parking structure, circulation, Parking Revenue and Access Control System (PARCS), the addition of 12 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations and Advance Parking Guidance System (APGS). The current contract is $177,230, plus 10% contingency for a total of $205,953.
Issue and Discussion: In November 2013, the South Tahoe Joint Powers Parking Financing Authority issued $7,735,000 of Parking Revenue bonds to refund the bonds issued in 2002 to finance the acquisition and construction of the parking facility. The bonds are secured and paid from the net operating revenue of the garage, special tax revenue levied in CFD No. 2001-1, and the debt service reserve fund.
Currently, the City plans to pay off the bonds early through the revenues generated from the parking garage. To accomplishes this goal, staff has requested Walker Consultants to divide the project into two phases. Phase 1 will include the structural and circulation upgrades for an estimated cost of $250,000. Phase 2 of the project consists of PARCS, APGS, and installation of the EV charging stations for an estimated cost of $500,000. To allow early bond payment, the City currently plans to stretch out the construction and award Phase 1 by Spring of 2023 and Phase 2 by Spring of 2024. Therefore, Walker has additional costs to manage the construction of the two phases of the project.
Financial Implications: The current contract with Walker Consultants is $177,230 with an optional $10,000 for grant writing services appropriated into the account 520-05320-42030. Staff has decided to eliminate the grant writing services and some of the tasks related to EV charging services, which will be done in-house. The additional services to split the project into two seasons is $23,436. Reducing the optional services which is no longer needed, the total contract with this amendment will be $200,666. This amount is below the total authorization of $205,953. Therefore, no additional funding is required for the amendment to the agreement. 167

Environmental Considerations: The appropriation of funds for the projects mentioned above is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (existing facilities).
Policy Implications: This project advances the City Council Strategic Priorities and Goals, specifically:
Action Item 1.5 (Carbon Neutrality) to implement various projects to reach the City’s 100% renewable energy and Climate Action Plan goals, including building robust EV charging infrastructure by 2025.
Action Item 5.3 (Infrastructure and Maintenance) actively seeking funding to develop sustainable infrastructure projects based on the prioritized capital improvement project list. 168

Revenue Control System and Modification Project
Prepared for the City of South Lake Tahoe
WALKER CONSULTANTS 29
1. Kick Off Meeting
Exhibit A Scope of Services
Walker’ s approach to the project will begin with a kick off meeting between Walker’ s key staff members and City of South Lake Tahoe staff and stakeholders. The meeting agenda will cover a review of the parking structure work items, goals and objectives of the city and stakeholders, issues that need to be addressed and a detailed presentation of Walker’ s workplan and schedule of activities.
Walker will identify any additional information required from the city including any additional documentation for the parking structure, contacts needed for access to enclosed spaces or for traffic controls or other assistance during the work.
This meeting will be scheduled to occur within 2 weeks of our authorization to proceed. Walker will document the discussions and include a list of action items and commitments resulting from the meeting.
2. Monthly Coordination Meetings
Our workplan will include monthly coordination meetings between Walker key personnel and city staff and invited stakeholders. These meetings will cover project work activity progress and a review of planned work for the next month. Tentative findings and potential solutions from our investigations will be presented and discussed. Issues and constraints will be discussed and proposed corrective measures will be identified.
Project schedule and budgets will be reviewed and any deviation from our baseline plan discussed. Timely review and monitoring of the project plan will help maintain overall milestone targets.
These can be in person meetings located in South Lake Tahoe or conducted virtually via Go to Meeting, Microsoft Teams, Zoom or another networking application. Walker will prepare and maintain minutes of these meetings, actions items and commitments.
3. Parking Structure Condition Assessment
Walker will conduct a condition appraisal to assess the physical condition of the facility and to address all issues that have been previously identified or uncovered during the course of our work. Our condition appraisal will provide a health report” on the condition of the structure. The report will confirm suspected problems or document known problems and provide budgeting information to allow the city to finance the identified repairs. The report findings and recommendations will form the basis for construction document preparation for subsequent competitive bidding.
Our objective is to perform an overall condition of the parking structure and provide an opinion of the probable cost for the necessary repairs, based on the observed conditions as well as our experience with parking structure conditions and repair costs. We have already performed a preliminary walk through” to verify our understanding of the condition and the requirements of the RFP. Our approach to this portion of the project is based on that understanding and our familiarity with the facility. Our assessment will focus on the following:
Document the existing condition of the structure in representative areas.
Recommend conceptual repairs where required).
Provide an opinion of the probable cost for the recommended conceptual repairs.

Scope of Services, continued
Based on this project understanding, we propose the following scope of services:
Task A Initial Condition Appraisal
i. Review available drawings, specifications, and engineering/ testing reports to familiarize ourselves with the type of construction and waterproofing systems and any previous repairs or modifications performed on the parking structure.
ii. Conduct a field evaluation of the parking structure to document the current physical condition of structural and waterproofing elements. This will include visual observations and limited non destructive testing on various structural elements. Review nonstructural elements of the parking structure including but not limited to expansion joints, drainage and waterproofing systems, electrical systems, etc. iii. Compile and review all field data that will assist us in determining the probable causes and effects of the documented deterioration.
iv. Identify potential structural or safety related conditions, if any. The City will be notified immediately if any safety related conditions are identified.
v. Identify and prioritize other repairs for the structure. vi. Compile and analyze field evaluation data to generate repair recommendations and opinions of probable costs of construction.
vii. Prepare a draft written report with a summary of observations, including photographs depicting the areas noted in the report, findings, repair recommendations, and capital expense.
Depending on visual observation and initial findings during condition assessment, Walker may recommend additional invasive testing to determine the cause and extent of conditions observed. For this purpose, Walker may recommend exposing concrete steel reinforcement as well as obtaining material samples for strength characteristics and/ or chemical content at selected locations. Any destructive testing that is proposed shall be approved by the City of South Lake Tahoe.
Task B Construction Document Preparation
i. Prepare construction documents CDs) outlining priority repairs based on our condition assessment report which will consist of drawings and specifications with sufficient details to obtain competitive pricing from qualified repair contractors.
Walker will also provide contract administrative and site observation services during the construction and repair program to monitor the contractor’ s performance of the repair program and protect the client’ s interests.
4. Evaluation of Circulation Pattern and Ingress/Egress Walker will review the parking layouts and vehicular circulation within the garage to identify modifications that will reduce congestion and improve overall efficiency of the facility. Functional design options coupled with access and revenue control equipment will have the combined benefits of improved ingress/ egress and revenue enhancement.

WALKER CONSULTANTS 31
Scope of Services, continued
The design of the parking areas needs to consider customer convenience, safety, wayfinding, and characteristics of the users. Parking geometrics need to allow vehicles to easily maneuver through the parking structure. Sightlines, visibility, and adequate illumination within parking structures need to be maintained for safety, and wayfinding.
Peak hour parking traffic volumes over the course of the day, week and year need to be studied to properly size entry and exit plazas and circulation routes within parking areas. Traffic circulation routes to and through all parking areas will be evaluated to mitigate congestion yet maximize the efficiency of parking.
Walker will employ best practices in developing circulation options that can be objectively evaluated to help identify potential solutions with measurable benefits. These options will be presented to the city and stakeholders for selecting a preferred option for further development and incorporation into construction documents.
5. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Options for electric vehicle charging station installation will be compiled and presented. Options will include prospective vendor choices and features, costs, and infrastructure upgrades necessary to accommodate the additional electrical service loads. Options will be presented in a way that facilitates decisions for incorporating into the construction document package.
Upon concurrence from the City, Walker will prepare construction documents for the EVCS installation including parking layouts, required signage, and electrical engineering necessary to obtain a building permit. Walker will prepare 60% and 100% construction documents, including plans, specifications, and our engineer’ s opinion of probable cost for review by the city.
Walker will also present a matrix of options that could serve as potential state and federal grant opportunities to provide all or partial project funding. This includes a detailed review of each grant program, the likelihood of success, and an application response plan. Walker can provide grant writing services to lead the response to the grant solicitations as an additional service and has been successful in writing grant applications and receiving funding for California agencies from state and federal sources, including electrification infrastructure and has expertise in the landscape of grants available for potential funding.
6. Parking Access and Revenue Control System
Data Collection and Report Preparation
Walker will meet with the City to discuss and collect documentation regarding the current PARCS system and the requirements for a new PARCS system, including an occupancy counting system with a remote count sign and a traffic control sign.
This meeting will include an on site assessment and further data gathering of the garage operations and the associated PARCS equipment. This visit will require the availability of City and/ or parking operator personnel to interview in person to collect information.
Walker will collect additional information from the City or the current PARCS vendor if necessary.
Walker will analyze all information collected in the Data Collection process, applying our knowledge of current best practices for PARCS systems that are appropriate for the City’s garage. This task will also include reaching out C-047-2022 191
Scope of Services for City Garage Parking Access and
Revenue Control System and Modification Project

WALKER CONSULTANTS 32
Scope of Services, continued
to potentially qualified new PARCS vendors to understand and evaluate their options.
Walker will prepare a Draft Report on the existing system as well as options for state of the art new systems, including gateless systems and mobile payment Apps. The Draft Report will review at least three major systems, based on best practices, including hardware and software components, as well as the revenue collection and administration system. The Report will also evaluate future trends in Parking Management, Revenue Control systems, Payment Systems, and Equipment technologies to provide an assessment of best practices and how they could apply for the City’s new system. After review and comment by the City, Walker will prepare a Final Report version. The Reports will follow the outline prescribed in the RFP.
Contract Specification and Procurement Document
Following approval of Walker’ s recommendations, Walker will prepare a Contract Specification and Procurement Document for a Best Value Procurement option for system procurement, installation, integration, testing, and acceptance of the new PARCS system including the occupancy counting system with a remote count sign and a traffic control sign. The Procurement Document will be written to comply with Construction Standards Institute CSI) outlines and format. It will include at minimum Functional Requirements, Performance Requirements, Integration Requirements, Testing, Validation and Acceptance Requirements, and other details for successful bidding and procurement of a new PARCS system.
A draft version of the Contract Specification and Procurement Document will be provided for City review, and a final version will be produced based on the City’s feedback.
7. Program Management and Project Delivery
Our project manager will be the primary contact with the city. The PM’ s responsibilities will include regular communication with city staff to ensure the consultant team is aware of decisions and direction on the project.
The PM is responsible for coordinating the work on all tasks, providing necessary resources to accomplish the work, maintaining the budget and schedule, and compiling and assembling documentation including contracts, meeting notes, the construction document package, permitting and bidding materials and construction administration records.
We anticipate that the project delivery method for the construction phase will be design bid build using a conventional public bidding process to select the general contractor. Walker will assist the city with the solicitation and review of bids and including the pre bid meeting, addenda and bid evaluation. During the construction phase, Walker will administer the construction contract, review contractor and supplier submittals, requests for information, change orders and testing agency reports.
Walker will make periodic visits to the project site to observe overall progress and quality of the work to support our review of the contractors’ applications for payment. Upon completion of the construction, Walker will conduct a punchlist review of the work to verify completion and conformance with the contract documents.
