facilitate employee car-pooling and other programs to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Ten employees already working at the current restaurant will support breakfast and room service at the lodging facility. An additional 11 employees will be added to the existing marketing,sales, reservations and support services already operating for Fannstead at Long Meadow Ranch (these employees will work at the LMR offices at 801 Main Street, St. Helena).
Access and Parking: Automobile access to the lodging facilities will be from Mills Lane.
Mills Lane will be realigned with Grayson Avenue at Highway 29 and widened to accommodate two lanes of traffic and parallel parking on both sides of the street. In addition, a 10’ class 1 sidewalk and landscaping strip will be added on the north side of the street to accommodate pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Stop signs will be added at the north end of La Fata and at the exit from the Lodging driveway entrance. With the improvements of Mills Lane, a proper connection to La Fata will be completed at the same time. Also, a sidewalk will be added to the west side of La Fata. LMR will complete the construction of the Mills Lane and La Fata Street improvements prior to the opening of the lodging with costs allocated per the Highway 29 Specific plan, development agreement and conditions of approval.
The entrance to the registration parking court and parking lot will be aligned with La Fata Street. There will be 80 onsite parking spaces. All employee parking will be at the supplemental lot located at McCom1ick and Dowdell. Employees will not be allowed to park on site or on neighboring side streets. The applicant will provide an on-call shuttle for employees to both sites when needed at night. Secure bicycle parking will also be available for general public guests not staying at the lodging.
Water: The lodging and related facilities’ needs for potable water (identified as approximately 5.8 acre-feet annual requirement)will be fulfilled through a connection to the City of St. Helena water system. Existing on-site non-potable wells will service all agricultural and landscaping activities. The pool will initially be filled by water from outside the City of St.
Helena. To achieve the City’s requirementsfor water neutrality the Developer and City have negotiated for Developer to provide an innovative program to achieve water neutrality through the Development Agreement. As set forth in the terms of the Development Agreement, the Developer has agreed to construct and install recycled water infrastructure (i.e., purple pipe) in Mills Lane extending from Highway 29 easterly to the eastern end of Mills Lan. As the City’s purposes. The piping that the Developer has agreed to install will, at a minimum,provide the ability to irrigate the landscapingat Crane Park and the ?elds at St. Helena Elementary School with recycled water, which would provide projected annual water savings of more than two timesthe annual water usage for the lodgingproject. Developer has agreed to fund these improvements at a cost of up to $256,549, which is more than $100,000 more than the in-lieu fees that Developer would pay under th3e City’s water neutrality ordinance (the in-lieu fee would have been $142,341.73). In addition to the Development Agreement, the applicant will enter into a water agreement that will set a cap on allowable water usage for the project and require that the applicant construct the recycled water improvements described in this section.

2. In accordance with SHMC Section 17.171050. the City Council adopts the following findingsto support the motion to recommend approval ol the variance:
1. A hardship peculiar to the property, not created by the owner.exists as this requirement doesn't lollowmodern operational models and creates operational inefficiencies and therefore constitutes a peculiar hardship that is appropriately addressed and may be resolved through consideration of a Variance.
2. Other hotels In the SC district are not burdened by this requirement, therefore. the variance is necessary for the preservation and enloymant of substantial property rights available to other properties in the same district and vicinity; and that a variance.ifgranted, wouldnot constitute a special privilege of the recipient not enjoyed by his or her neighbors.
3. The authorization of the variance willnot be a substantial detriment to adjacent properties and willnot maten'allyimpair the purpose and intent of this title or the public interest, or adversely affect the general plan.
4. Inasmuch as there are not a signi?cant number of similar properties in the vicinity or zoning district.it is not reasonably practicable to fonnulate a general regulation for such condition or situation. In other words, there are not enough hotels to make it necessary or practical to amend the zoning code to address this peculiar situa?on.
5. An approval of this Variance to allow for a 24/7 365 day/year on-site manager opposed to requiring that a manage physically live on-site willenhance the public health, safety and welfare ol the community.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ST. HELENA APPROVING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH LMR
DESTINATIONS, LLC RELATING TO THE FARMSTEAD
LODGING PROJECT AT 1000 MILLS LANE
WHEREAS, to strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted Government Code Sections 65864 et seq. (the "Development Agreement Statute") which authorizes cities to enter into agreements for the development of real property with any person having a legal or equitable interest in such property in order to establish certain development rights in such property; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Development Agreement Statute, the City of St.
Helena (the “City”) has enacted regulations encompassed in St. Helena Municipal Code Chapter
17.156 (the “Development Agreement Regulations”) to implement procedures for the processing and approval of development agreements in accordance with the Development Agreement Statute; and
WHEREAS, On October 13, 2020, in accordance with the Development Agreement Statute and the Development Agreement Regulations, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2020-9 approving a Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with LMR Destinations, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Developer”) for the development of a 65 room single story hotel project, which in addition to the guest rooms includes a multipurpose building for guest reception/administration, a bar and lounge area, meeting/classroom with demonstration kitchen, commercial kitchen and staff facilities; a utility and service building; a spa building; a pool and fitness building; two outdoor pools; two agricultural barns; and approximately 3.9 acres of land used for agricultural purposes (the “Project”); and WHEREAS, The Development Agreement required the Developer to construct certain storm drain improvements adjacent to Mills Lane and extending to the Napa River prior to occupancy of the Project; and
WHEREAS, The storm drain improvements are not necessary for the Project. The Project is required to be designed to retain stormwater flows from up to a ten year storm event through on-site detention systems, and stormwater flows from up to a 25 year storm event can be released from the Project site into an infiltration system that will allow such stormwater flows to infiltrate into the ground; and
WHEREAS, City and Developer desire to eliminate the requirement in the Development Agreement to construct the storm drain improvements and instead have Developer provide for an infiltration system in the Mills Lane right of way, and are therefore amending the Development Agreement to replace the requirement to construct the storm drain with a requirement to include an infiltration system within the Mills Lane right of way that will retain storm water runoff from the Project up to a 25 year storm event, all as more specifically set forth in the First Amendment to Agenda Item #7.5.
- 2 -
Development Agreement by and between City of St. Helena and LMR Destinations LLC as attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Development Agreement Amendment”); and
WHEREAS, the Development Agreement Regulations provide at St. Helena Municipal Code Section 17.156.080 and 17.56.100 that the Planning Commission shall hold a duly noticed public hearing on any proposed development agreement or amendment to a development agreement, and following such public hearing the Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to the City Council on whether or not to approve the development agreement, which recommendation shall include whether or not the development agreement proposed: (a) Is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan; (b) is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district in which the real property is located; (c) is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice; (d) will be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare; (e) will adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values. The recommendation shall include the reasons for the recommendation;
WHEREAS, the Development Agreement as amended by the Development Agreement Amendment will assure both the City and the Developer that the Project will proceed as proposed and that the public improvements and other amenities and funding obligations of the Developer will be accomplished as proposed; and that the Project can proceed without disruption caused by a change in City planning and development policies and requirements, which assurance will thereby reduce the actual or perceived risk of planning, financing and proceeding with construction of the Project and promote the achievement of the private and public objectives of the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing at a Special Meeting on September 29, 2022, on the Development Agreement Amendment and the Use Permit Amendment during which public hearing the Planning Commission received comments from the Developer, City staff, and members of the general public and recommended approval to the City Council in accordance with Section 17.156.080 of the St. Helena Municipal Code through this Resolution.
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on October 11, 2022 on the Development Agreement Amendment and an associated amendment to the Use Permit for the Project, during which public hearing the City Council received comments from the Developer, City staff, and members of the general public; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to approve the requested amendments accordance with Section 17.156.080 of the St. Helena Municipal Code through approval of this Ordinance.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST. HELENA, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. This Ordinance incorporates, and by this reference makes a part hereof, the Development Agreement Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof.
SECTION 2. This Ordinance is adopted under the authority of Government Code Section 65864 et seq., and pursuant to the Development Agreement Regulations.
SECTION 3. In accordance with the Development Agreement Regulations, the City Council hereby finds and determines that the provisions of the Development Agreement Amendment are consistent with the General Plan and Highway 29 Specific Plan. Specifically, the Project to be developed pursuant to the Development Agreement as amended is consistent with the land use designations for the parcel upon which the Project will be developed. The lodging component of the Project will be constructed on the portion of the parcel that is within the City’s Urban Limit Line and is designated as Service Commercial (SC), where lodging is an allowable use. The portions of the parcel that are outside the Urban Limit Line will remain in agricultural use, consistent with the requirements of the General Plan. The Project will further numerous policies of the General Plan as more specifically enumerated in the City staff reports prepared for this Ordinance, in that the Project would support both a local and visitor serving component to the City’s economy by providing jobs, tax revenue, and additional amenities. The Project would enhance the character in the SC district by redeveloping an under-utilized site in the commercial district. The Project would also be oriented toward an upscale market, consistent with the Napa Valley’s reputation as a producer of world-class wines. Further, the Project is consistent with the Highway 29 Specific Plan and would implement its direction by providing for the realignment of Mills Land with Grayson Avenue consistent with the goals of the Highway 29 Specific Plan.
SECTION 4. On the basis of the whole record, the City has determined that the minor modifications made to the infrastructure conditions of approval and development agreement terms for the Project are consistent with the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan previously prepared and adopted for the Project on October 13, 2020, and would not result in new impacts or any substantial changes to any significant effects previously identified. Specifically, substantial changes are not proposed in the Project that would require major revisions of the Mitigated Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects have not occurred; new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted, as applicable, showing any of the following, has not come to light: (i) that the Project would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the earlier environmental documentation; (ii) that significant effects previously examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the earlier environmental documentation; (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects, but the Agenda Item #7.5.

applicant declined to adopt such measures; or (iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those previously analyzed would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the applicant declined to adopt. Thus, based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the City has determined that none of the conditions specified in State CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR or MND would occur and no additional environmental review is required; SECTION 5. The foregoing findings and determinations are based upon the following:
(a) The Recitals set forth in this Ordinance, which are deemed true and correct; (b) The City's General Plan;
(c) The City’s Highway 29 Specific Plan;
(d) Resolution No. 2020-100, adopted by the City Council on October 13, 2020, making findings as to the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project, including the Statement of Findings and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and adopted a resolution approving Design Review, Use Permit, Lot Line Adjustment, Lot Merger, Variance, and Water Agreement for Mills Lane, approved by and incorporated in said Resolution, which Resolution and exhibits are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full; (e) Resolution No. ___ of the Planning Commission of the City of St. Helena recommending that the City Council approve the Development Agreement Amendment with LMR Destinations, LLC relating to the Farmstead Lodging Project;
(f) All City staff reports (and all other public reports and documents) prepared for the City Council, relating to the Development Agreement Amendment and other actions relating to the Property;
(g) All documentary and oral evidence received at public hearings or submitted to the City during the comment period relating to the Development Agreement Amendment, and other actions relating to the Property; and (h) All other matters of common knowledge to the City Council, including, but not limited to the City’s fiscal and financial status; City policies and regulations; reports, projections and correspondence related to development within and surrounding the City; State laws and regulations and publications.
SECTION 6. The City Council hereby approves the Development Agreement Amendment, attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject further to such minor, conforming and clarifying changes consistent with the terms thereof as may be approved by the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney to execution thereof, including completion of references and status of planning approvals, and completion and conformity of all exhibits thereto.

Determination:
Not a CEQA project
Prepared By: Justin Tharp, Lieutenant
Reviewed By: Anil Comelo, City Manager
Approved By: Anil Comelo, City Manager
BACKGROUND
The Fiscal Year 2022-2023 approved operating budget includes $250,000 in capital funds to purchase and equip patrol vehicles, special service and administrative vehicles.
The new vehicles will reduce downtime, fuel costs, and pollution. Patrol vehicles are often one of the most visible forms of city government and keeping a modern, well cared for police fleet, reflects positively on the city and the police department.
DISCUSSION
The typical life span of a police patrol vehicle is 100,000 miles given the type of driving and conditions they are subjected to, which includes 24/7 operations and prolonged periods of idling.
Under the direction of the City Council in 2019, the police department was to select alterative fueled vehicles where feasible. Electric vehicles are still in their infancy for fleet Agenda Item #7.6.
police patrol service, but have been adopted by many cities in California, such as Cotati and West Sacramento. Full electric vehicles are currently undergoing extensive testing by larger police agencies. The police department has researched and selected the Ford Police Explorer Hybrid for it generous interior space, pursuit capability and the familiarity for the Officers. Ford also has local repair and warranty facilities to reduce vehicle downtime and transportation costs. The Ford Maverick Hybrid was selected for special service vehicle. The Ford 150 Lightening (electric) was also considered, but is double the cost (approximately $40,000) and availability is extremely limited at this time, with most vehicles being sold in the civilian market. The Tesla Model 3 was selected as an administrative vehicle and will be utilized by the Chief of Police. The Tesla is purchased factory direct and is a sole source vendor with a estimated purchase price of $64,447.
The Chief of Police's current Ford Explorer will become the Officer's administrative vehicle.
Two of the police department's current patrol vehicles are in need of replacement. A 2001 Chevrolet Suburban that was a prior fire vehicle that was transferred to the police department in 2015 and a 2016 Ford Explorer. The 2001 Suburban is 21 years old, inefficient and not well suited for its role as a main line patrol vehicle. The 2016 Explorer has 98,297 miles and is experiencing extended periods of down time for maintenance.
The special services pickup is a 2005 Chevrolet Colorado and is approaching 17 years old and due for a more efficient replacement. Our Administrative vehicle is a 2012 Ford Fusion with approximately 108,000 miles on it. This vehicle is used by officers for training and regularly makes trips as far away as Oregon and Southern California.
Both the Ford Police Explorer Hybrid and the Ford Maverick Hybrid and Tesla Model 3 will reduce the city's carbon footprint and fuel consumption. The Ford Explorer hybrid emits half of carbon in a year, when compared to the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban. Fuel efficiency by all replacement vehicles exceeds the police departments current fleet.
The police department is experiencing difficulties in ordering vehicles due to national supply chain issues and extremely high demand for vehicles in the civilian market. This is due to pent-up demand following the COVID-19 Pandemic and related economic shutdowns. The aforementioned factors have caused Ford Motor Company to shorten it's ordering window for fleet vehicles from months, to weeks in some cases. This makes it difficult to secure bids and present it to city council for approval before the ordering window closes. The St. Helena Police Department is also striving to implement a hybrid fleet making it harder to locate a vehicle within a dealerships inventory, which consists of primarily gasoline powered patrol vehicles. The St. Helena Police Department has also been warned by each vehicle vendor, that past fleet orders have been canceled or reduced. The Police Department is also striving to purchase vehicles from local vendors whenever possible.
The current ordering window for Ford Police Explorer hybrid was shortened to three weeks and both Enterprise and Sager Ford were able to secure orders for two patrol vehicles, realizing if we did not purchase them, another police departments likely would.
Sager Ford and Enterprise were able to secure an order for a Ford Maverick Hybrid.
Agenda Item #7.6.
Tesla is a sole source vendor and sells their vehicle directly from the factory with no dealer network to elicit bids from.
Due to aforementioned complications in acquiring new police vehicles in this current environment, the Police department has not been able to secure bids following the formal bidding procedures set forth in the St. Helena Municipal Code. The Police Department therefore request the the City Manager be authorized to purchase the two Police Explorer Hybrids, one Ford Maverick Hybrid pickup and a Tesla Model 3 for a total amount not to exceed $203,000, and take such action as necessary to acquire the vehicles from the lowest bidders, that have current availability or can deliver the vehicles in a reasonable time as determined by the City Manger.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to purchase four vehicles is estimated to be $203,000 and was approved in the fiscal year 2022-2023 budget.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends City Council approve a resolution authorizing: (1) Acquisition of two 2023 Ford Police Explorer Hybrids, a 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid pickup and a 2023 Tesla Model 3 (Chief's Vehicle) for a total not to exceed $203,000,and (2) Authorize the City Manager to take such action as necessary to acquire the vehicles from the lowest bidders that have current availability or can deliver the vehicles in a reasonable time.

BACKGROUND
The City of St. Helena currently has two formally recognized full-time bargaining groups, which include the St. Helena Employees Association and the St. Helena Police Officers' Assocation. In addition to the formally recognized groups, the City has two additional fulltime employee groups that are unrepresented, which consist of Full-time Firefighters and Department Heads & Mid-Managers.
In 1968, with the passage of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (Government Code sec. 3500), employees at “local agencies” (cities, counties and special districts) in California gained the right to form unions and “collectively bargain” a contract over “changes in wages, hours, and terms of employment". The purpose is to promote full communication between public employers and their employees by providing a reasonable method of resolving disputes regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment between public employers and public employee organizations.
It is also the purpose of the act to promote the improvement of personnel management and employer-employee relations within the various public agencies in the State of California by providing a uniform basis for recognizing the right of public employees to Agenda Item #7.7.
join organizations of their own choice and be represented by those organizations in their employment relationships with public agencies.
DISCUSSION
On August 7, 2022, the St. Helena Professional Firefighters Association submitted a petition to be formally recognized as the exclusive bargaining unit for the members of the Association under the provisions of California State Labor Code Section 3500.
The Association consists of six full-time Fire Department employees, in which all six employees affirmed by their signatures on the petition their full support for the request for recognition.
Staff has reviewed the petition and determined that the necessary information to file the petition has been incorporated, which includes:
1. Name and address of the employee organization.
2. Name and titles of its officers.
3. Names of employee organization representatives who are authorized to speak on behalf of the organization.
4. A statement that the employee organization, as one of its primary purposes, represents employees in their employment relations with the City.
5. A statement that the employee organization has proof of employee support by the majority of the employees in the unit claimed to be appropriate have designated the employee organization to represent them in their employment relations with the City.
6. A request that the City recognize the employee organization as the exclusively recognized employee organization of the employees in the unit claimed to be appropriate for the purpose of meeting and conferring in good faith on all matters within scope of representation.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council recognize the St. Helena Professional Firefighters Association as the exclusive bargaining unit for the members of the Association, which currently consists of six full-time Fire Department employees.

Subject: Consideration and Proposed Approval of a Resolution authorizing and delegating the City of Napa to submit an application on its behalf and administer the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program and to authorize the City
Manager to sign a binding Delegation Agreement with the City of Napa for the period encompassing five (5) years of formula allocations (2019-2023), made available in Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) issued by the State beginning in

Determination:
Not a CEQA project
Prepared By: Mandy Kellogg, Administrative Services Director Reviewed By: April Mitts, Assistant City Manager
Approved By: Anil Comelo, City Manager
BACKGROUND
In September 2017, the California Legislature approved Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) that established the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund to fund affordable housing by imposing a $75 recording fee on real estate documents. and authorizes the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development to allocate 70 percent of monies collected and deposited in the fund, beginning in calendar year 2019, to local governments for eligible housing and homelessness activities.
The intent of the bill is to provide a permanent, on-going source of funding to local governments for housing-related projects and programs that assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of their local communities. Cities are entitled to a return to source allocation in increments of five year. The current period encompasses funds collected Agenda Item #7.8.
between 2019 and 2023. The City of St. Helena must submit a plan for funds for this year to avoid losing current and future funds.
DISCUSSION
As part of the application, the City must prepare, solicit public input, and submit a fiveyear plan on how the City intends to use its allocation of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program funds. There are a variety of eligible activities the City may choose to utilize the funds for including:
• The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, rental housing that is affordable to extremely low-, very low-, low-, or moderate-income households, including necessary operating subsidies.
• The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable rental and ownership housing, including Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), that meets the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120-percent of area median income (AMI), or 150-percent of AMI in high-cost areas. • Matching portions of funds placed into Local or Regional Housing Trust Funds. • Matching portions of funds available through the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 34176(d).
• Capitalized Reserves for Services connected to the preservation and creation of new permanent supportive housing.
• Assisting persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including, but not limited to, providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services that allow people to obtain and retain housing, operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing.
• Accessibility modifications in lower-income owner-occupied housing. • Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes and apartments. • Homeownership opportunities, including, but not limited to, down payment assistance.
• Up to 5% of the grant can be used for administrative costs.
The funding available in the NOFA is for a five-year period and is based on anticipated revenue. The City’s five-year estimated funding amount is $534,021.
The draft PLHA Plan establishes that the City intends to spend the funds on the following:
Owner-occupied and renter-occupied rehabilitation. The projects eligible for these funds must be related to rehabilitation, such as improving the structural integrity of a dwelling unit in order to meet building codes, correcting health and safety issues, and correcting code violations. To qualify for the project, the applicant must be an income eligible homeowner. The owner’s total household income must be at or below 80% of the area Agenda Item #7.8.
median income. Alternatively, a rental unit could be deed restricted for the similar amount.
PLHA funds will be utilized to expand the City's existing program and assist additional homeowners with zero interest loans up to $60,000.
Although the PLHA allocations can be modified in the future, any change of 10% or more requires submitting an amended plan to the State.
The City of Napa currently provides housing services to the City of St. Helena. Under the PLHA guidelines, one jurisdiction may delegate the submission of an application and administration of the PLHA program to another entity via a binding delegation agreement for the five-year PLHA cycle. The City of Napa has agreed to serve as the delegated entity for the City of St. Helena. One of the requirements for the City of Napa to serve as the designated entity is that the City of St. Helena elects to allocate the funds to a program that is modeled after an existing program that is currently being administered by the City of Napa, such as housing rehabilitation grant program, or if a new program is identified, then that program will be modeled after an existing City of Napa program for administration coordination.
Per the proposed agreement, the City of St. Helena will allocate its 5% administrative cost recovery share to the City of Napa to compensate them for the costs to administer the City’s PLHA program.
FISCAL IMPACT
The current program proposed will utilize PLHA grant funding to fund the program. In addition, the grant allows 5% of the funds to be allocated to administrative expenses, which will be utilized to fund the services provided by the City of Napa to administer the program.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the attached resolution.

Regular City Council - 25 Oct 2022
Agenda Section: CONSENT ITEMS
Subject: Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 5 to Noll and Tam Architects in the amount of $25,000 to STH Contract NO: FY 2021-071 for Phase I of the Napa Valley College Tenant Improvements at the City of St. Helena for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $261,483.
CEQA
Determination:
Not a CEQA project
Prepared By: Preya Nixon, Asst. to the City Manager
Reviewed By: April Mitts, Assistant City Manager
Approved By: Anil Comelo, City Manager
BACKGROUND
On June 28, 2022, the City Council approved a construction contract with Murray Building Inc, (MBI) to be the General Contractor for the Napa Valley College Tenant Improvement Project. The City Council also approved a contract with MarinIT for upgraded cabling and relocation services for IT infrastructure. Noll and Tam Architects have served as the Architect of Record for this project, and have provided all the design work.
The buildings at the Napa Valley College site were previously used primarily for administrative staff and for academic classes. To expedite occupancy, the City's contractors, architect, and staff have chosen to limit any major changes particularly structural changes or exterior changes. Another reason to not make major exterior or structural changes is that all modifications to the space need to be approved by the State of California Division of State Architect since the property is owned by the Napa Community College. Therefore, the project consists of nonstructural Tenant Improvements (TIs) to create office space for Police and non-police functions. The space will be occupied by various city professionals including planners, police officers, dispatchers, accountants, engineers, and other professionals. Improvements include Agenda Item #7.9.
accessibility in accordance with Americans with Disability Act (ADA), security, and telecommunications upgrades that are necessary for City and Police Administration.
While the modifications to the building are fairly straightforward to address general city administrative office needs, the Police Department has special requirements and addressing those has complicated improvements and has extended the City's timeline and added substantial costs to the project. These items are: enhanced security including bulletproofing panels that must be installed, general security for the entire building, enhanced IT needs to meet legal requirements of Police Department servers.
DISCUSSION
The City’s employees are anxious to move out of the temporary spaces and into a more permanent facility that is functional. To that end, staff and contractors are working to ensure that the new design is in compliance with all applicable laws, provides the appropriate levels of security, has sufficient capacity for future growth, and appropriate to provide the community with various services. During the last couple of months, design changes have been necessitated to provide for a more efficient use of the space and to address various issues including security, information technology, internal communication, and service optimization. The following are some of the specific issues that have been addressed:
• Security Enhancements: Security enhancements were not bid out to the general contractor and have taken more time to evaluate. As a result, this has impacted the door hardware requirements. The City has been able to find a security firm and is moving forward with the necessary requirements to keep the building safe. • Information Technology (IT) impacts: Because the City is building out its own network for the Police Department and City Administration, a separate and new internet connection (Fiber) must be identified and established. This type of work involves a process with Comcast and the City has just received notification that the pathway identification is set to move forward. This is a critical step in the IT upgrade part of this project.
• Portable Locker/Shower Room for the Police Department: Changes had to be made to the placement of the portable building that required additional security materials. The portable building is now in production and will be delivered by the end of the year.
• New office space and a re-evaluation of overall space usage: To address adjacencies, it has been determined that all engineering, planning, building inspection, and their department heads be located in the same section of the structure. The goal being to promote internal communication on projects and be able to provide better service to the community. Similarly, other changes were made to provide for greater efficiency and functionality as it relates to use of conference rooms, access, and adjacencies.
Agenda Item #7.9.
Given these changes, updated architectural plans and construction plans are needed.
For this amendment, Noll and Tam's fees are a no-to-exceed amount of $25,500 on a time and material basis. This proposed fee from Noll and Tam includes design, construction administration (CA) and Division of State Architect closeout. Any changes to the project must be approved by the Division of State Architect (DSA).
The existing construction contract with Murray Building, the General Contractor, contains a 10% change order contingency by the approval of the Public Works Director. However, it is anticipated that the additional construction work will exceed the contingency. Staff will come back at a future City Council meeting with pricing for the construction work.
FISCAL IMPACT
The overall impact of the amendment is a total of $25,000 and can be absored in the NCV TI's project contingency funds.

Approved By: Anil Comelo, City Manager
BACKGROUND
Municipal Code Title 2, §2.24.030 states the Director of Finance shall deliver to the City Manager and to the Council at a regularly scheduled Council meeting a budget report showing the budget status at the end of the preceding quarter. Staff has prepared the following for Council:
1. Fourth quarter (Q4) staff report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22. This report is a summary of transactions from June 1, 2012 through June 30, 2022.

3. FY 2021-22 Q4 list of checks over $50,000 (Attachment 1)
4. FY 2021-22 Q4 balance of all funds (Attachment 2)
DISCUSSION
Information presented below reflects transactions posted through June 30, 2022.
Additional details for the General Fund, Water Fund, and Wastewater Fund are provided as Attachments 3-8.
General Fund
Agenda Item #7.10.
General Fund revenue received to date for FY 2021-22 is $20,154,959 – 121% of the budgeted General Fund revenue has been collected. General Fund revenue is divided into the following categories:
1. Property Tax
2. Sales Tax
3. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
4. Other Taxes
5. Charges for Service
6. Fines and Forfeits
7. Licenses and Permits
8. Development Fees
9. Intergovernmental
10.Interest and Rents, and
11.Miscellaneous.
The primary contributors to General Fund revenues are Property Tax, Sales Tax, and TOT, of which 115% of the adjusted budget have been collected. Attachment 3 provides details on each of the revenue categories. Revenues for Q4 include a non-budgeted revenue received for Emergency Relief of $1,152,059.
General Fund expenditures are $14,795,326 for Q4 which is 78% of the adjusted budget.
Spending for FY 2021-22 is on lower than the adjusted budget at June 30th due to project spending that will continue into FY 2022-23. Funds allocated to these projects will be encumbered and rolled into the following fiscal year budget. Attachment 4 provides a summary of expenditures by Department for FY 2021-22 Q4.
Water Enterprise Fund
Water Enterprise revenue billed to date is $7,994,216, or 120% of the adjusted total of estimated revenues for FY 2021-22 through June 30, 2022. Revenues are higher than anticipated due to penalties charged in July, August, September, October, and November as a result of the Phase II water emergency, which was not included in the estimated revenues. The penalty charges total $2,274,907; however, adjustments continue to be made for customers who qualify for a penalty waiver due to a water leak incurred. If the amount charged for penalties is removed, the total revenue is $6,169,309 or 93%.
Revenues are trending lower for FY 2021-22 than for FY 2020-21 which was $6,649,339 or 97% on June 30, 2021. The decline can be attributed to water conservation measures.
Attachment 5 provides details of Water Fund revenues. The negative amount recorded in 561-3870-0000 CARES subsidy is due to the subsidy amount yet to be transferred from the General Fund.
Water expenditures are $6,874,247 for Q4 FY 2021-22. Overall Water Fund spending is at 74% of the adjusted budget for the Fiscal Year. Low spending is due to the timing of invoices received that were processed after the close of the fiscal year. Attachment 6 provides a summary of spending by Department for FY 2021-22 Q4.
Wastewater Enterprise Fund
Agenda Item #7.10.
Wastewater Enterprise revenue billed to date is $3,334,238.48 or 99% of the estimated total revenues for FY 2021-22. Revenues are on target with budgeted projections. The previous FY 2020-21 Q4 revenues were at 102% for the same time period. Attachment 7 provides details for Wastewater Fund revenues. The negative amount recorded in 571- 3870-0000 CARES Subsidy is due to the subsidy amount yet to be transferred from the General Fund.
Wastewater expenses are $2,495,663 for Q4 FY 2021-22. Overall Wastewater Fund spending is at 61% for the Fiscal Year and is on target. Low spending is due to the timing of invoices received that were processed after the close of the fiscal year. Attachment 8 provides a summary of spending by Department for FY 2021-22 Q4.
Water and Wastewater Funds - Aging Report
Although this section is not part of the regular quarterly report, staff feels the aging report for the utility systems is important to review due to the impacts of the COVID-19 emergency and Phase II Water Emergency. Revenues for both the water and wastewater systems are recognized as soon as they are earned as opposed to when they are collected. Therefore, when the bi-monthly utility bill is processed the revenues are recorded in the financial software system. Staff has seen an increase in the number of past due accounts. It is believed to be due to the ongoing financial hardships created by COVID-19 and penalties assessed during the Phase II Water Emergency.
At the start of the pandemic, City Council approved Resolution 2020-24 which waived all penalties and interest on amounts due for utility service and ceased termination of water service for delinquent bills for the duration of the local emergency and for 30 days following the City Council's termination of the emergency. In addition, several customers have submitted appeals for penalties that were assessed to their account for overuse of water during Phase II, which are not eligible to be waived under the penalty leak appeal policy.
Staff received direction at the October 11, 2022 council meeting for collection of unpaid water penalties. Staff will proceed with offering payment plans to customers with unpaid penalties and facilitate the process for collections.
Table 1 provides a summary of the past due amounts compared to the same time the previous year.

BACKGROUND
The City of St. Helena has a commitment to sustainability. The Countywide Climate Action committee’s recent Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory update illustrates the need for action to be taken to have an appreciable impact on climate change. In the discussion below, specific code changes are summarized which will help reduce the carbon footprint of St. Helena and implement many of the Climate Action implementation actions of our General Plan. With this update to the City's Building Codes, the City continues to take actions, consistent with state policy, to address the need to make structures more energy efficient and reduce GHGs.
The State of California routinely updates building standards with the goal of making the habitable structures more energy efficient and to address climate change. The changes being proposed by the attached amendments are intended to continue that practice and Agenda Item #8.1.
will result in habitable structures being more energy efficient with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The State has updated and adopted the California Building Standards Code, which will become effective on January 1, 2023. The proposed ordinance and resolution would adopt the California Building Standards Code as required by State law, as well as make local amendments to the Building Standards Code justified by local conditions in the City of St. Helena. Pursuant to State law, none of the local amendments may be less restrictive than the States Building Standards Codes.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) is the state’s primary energy policy and planning agency with a mission to lead the state to a 100 percent clean energy future.
The CEC develops policy to reduce energy usage and costs, limit the environmental impacts of energy generation and use, and ensure a safe, resilient, and reliable supply of energy. There is a direct correlation between the CEC and the Building Code. Homes and businesses use nearly 70 percent of California’s electricity and are responsible for a quarter of California’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As California’s energy policy agency, the CEC was mandated by the Warren Alquist Act to periodically update and adopt building standards to increase energy efficiency of buildings and reduce GHGs.
Part 6 of Title 24 implemented this mandate so that every three years the CEC presents Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code) updates for new construction and renovations to existing buildings. After the CEC adopts these standards, they are submitted to the California Building Standards Commission for approval and inclusion with other changes to the building code. The Energy Code is designed to be cost-effective so that implementation is affordable while helping California manage energy demand and advance the state’s climate and clean air goals.
New and more efficient technologies are being developed all the time, with many supported by funding from state programs that bring these energy innovations to markets and consumers. The 2022 Energy Code builds on California’s technology innovations, encouraging inclusion of market-ready electric products in new construction, such as heat pumps for climate control and water heating. The update also requires all new homes be electric-ready. That means buildings with gas stoves have the electrical panels and wiring to support a switch to electric stoves. Further advancements and cost reductions will continue to expand electric options for heating, cooking, laundering, and EV charging to meet all Californians’ needs. These are crucial steps in the state’s progress toward 100 percent clean electricity and carbon neutrality by midcentury, or earlier.
DISCUSSION
The California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) is responsible for developing and adopting State Building, Fire and other related codes. Over the last three (3) years, the CBSC has gone through a planning process and adopted the 2023 California Building Standards Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24, 12 Parts (Standards Code).
The Standards, which include some changes to the code currently in effect, becomes effective on January 1, 2023.
Agenda Item #8.1.
Every three (3) years the California Building Standards Commission reviews the available model codes. On July 1, 2022 the State of California adopted the 2023 California Building Standards Code, which becomes effective on January 1, 2023. The State has given local jurisdictions until the end of the year to adopt the new code and any local amendments.
SUMMARY OF KEY-CODE CHANGES
Municipal Code Title 15, Buildings and Construction, contains either by reference or amendment the rules and regulations which comprise the “City of St. Helena Building Code”. The last update of this Title was in November of 2019 when the 2019 California Building Standards Code was adopted.
The attached “Exhibit A, Title 15, Buildings and Construction” includes the chapters of the Municipal Code that are proposed for amendment and adoption. The California Codes are adopted by reference and are available in the Community Development Department, Building Division for review. The following is a summary of the key code changes (both State and local amendments) beginning in January 2023:
2022 California Building Code:
•Increase fee for work without permit from double to triple original permit fee •Additional requirement to comply with the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) provisions for accessory structures despite exemption from permit
•Prohibit Inter-lock kits or any other means of connection of generator to premise wiring except by use of an approved transfer switch
•Add Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) construction requirements to Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zones within the Local Responsibility Areas (LRA). Currently we only enforce WUI within the Very-High Fire Hazard Severity Zones 2022 California Fire Code:
•All weeds or grass shall be cut and maintained at no higher than 4” above ground by June 1st of each year; add ability of city to recover costs associated with abatement by means of lien upon property for owners who fail to remedy violations •Defensible space around structures increased from 100’ to 150’. •Tree limbs required to be removed to not less than 6’ above ground. 2022 California Energy Code:
The most significant change in the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code) affecting single-family residential buildings is a prescriptive baseline for heat-pump water heating or space heating systems. There are also new requirements for additions and alterations of existing single-family dwellings. These and other significant changes include:
•Gas water heater installations will need to provide a space for future heat-pump water heater
•Indoor air quality ventilation systems with motorized outdoor air dampers •Update Kitchen vented range-hood ventilation rates based on floor area and fuel type Agenda Item #8.1.
•Adds installed heat recovery ventilation (HRV) and Energy Ventilation Recovery (ERV); systems must have HERS verified maximum fan efficacy
•Adds Energy Storage System (ESS) ready requirements
•Adds electric ready requirements for space heating, cooktops and clothes dryers when gas equipment is installed
•Updates energy design rating (EDR) metric. Compliance requires separately meeting EDR1, efficiency EDR2, and total EDR2.
•Adds water heating equipment must be a HPWH meeting certain criteria or a solar waterheating system with electric back-up. •Adds exception that no PV system is required when size is lees than 1.8 kWdc per the available SARA; (this was lowered from 2.0 kWdc in the 2019 Code). •Duct leakage testing required for extending any length of existing duct. •Updates roof and ceiling insulation in a vented attic for additions less than 700 SF; overall assembly U-factor of0.025 (R-38 in wood frame).
•Updates duct leakage testing when more than 25’ of ducts are replaced or installed. •Expands HPWH requirements to all climate zones
•Expands roof replacement efficiencies to additional climate zones. •Adds roof deck insulation for low-sloped roofs.
•Adds ceiling insulation for vented attics when replacing a gas furnace. •Adds requirement for alterations that increase exterior door area to meet U-factor.
With the new 2022 Energy Code, electric is in and gas installations are discouraged.
While a gas appliance may be installed under the 2022 code, a penalty will be incurred that will need to be made up in another area within the building envelope. The goal is to build all electric homes with heat-pump technology, thereby reducing Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). In addition, new homes are envisioned to have PV-solar with battery storage to allow for all energy used by these new homes to be generated and stored onsite without a need to draw from the power grid.
More information is available on the California energy Commission’s (CEC) website @ https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/tracking-progress Potential Subsequent Amendment to the Plumbing Code
The City understands that additional GHG benefits could be realized by requiring the use of greywater for all new residential construction. Currently this is voluntary but staff requests the City Council consider directing staff to prepare a subsequent update to the Plumbing Code making this mandatory.
Specific Proposed Amendments to Building Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing and Fire Codes:
The new code includes building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing codes, the fire code, the energy code, the historical building code, the green building code, and the residential code as follows:

15.04.130 Specific findings for code amendments.
Each amendment to the California Building Standards Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24, adopted by this title, is reasonably necessary because of the following determinations due to local climatic, geological, or topographic conditions pursuant to Health and Safety Code, Section 17958.5:
A. The city is characterized by a narrow valley floor surrounded and intermingled with steep hill terrain, containing areas which are very susceptible to wildland fires. Wildland fires are considered a significant threat in St. Helena. Native vegetation of brush, woodland, grassland and forest become extremely flammable during summer and remain so if Agenda Item #8.1.
drought conditions prevail during the winter months. Drought cycles appear in this area every seven to eleven (11) years.
B. Earthquake is considered to be one of the most potentially destructive threats to life and property in the city. A moderate to severe seismic incident on any of the several fault zones in relative close proximity to St.
Helena is expected to cause extensive property damage, disruptions to communications systems, and damage to public utility systems.
C. St. Helena is divided geographically into two parts by the north to south flow of the Napa River. Significant damaging flooding occurs in portions of the city approximately every five to ten (10) years. Warnings are usually given several hours to a few days before such floods. This natural barrier can serve as a severe impediment to the delivery of public safety services in time of flood.
D. Several areas within the city offer poor access for the delivery of public safety services because of the severity of slopes, and the existence of natural barriers such as the Napa River, Sulphur Creek, and York Creek. (Prior code § 4.13)
15.04.140 Violations—Penalties.
Section 114 Violation Penalties, California Building Code Chapter 1, is amended to read as follows:
A. Generally. No person whether as owner, lessee, sub-lessee or occupant, shall erect, construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, improve, remove, convert or demolish, equip, use, occupy, or maintain any building or structure in the city, or cause the same to be done, contrary to or in violation of any of the provisions of this title. Maintenance of equipment which was unlawful at the time it was installed and which would be unlawful under this title, shall constitute a continuing violation of this title.
B. Misdemeanor. Any person violating any of the provisions of this title shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and each such person is guilty of a separate offense for each day or portion thereof during which any violation of any of the provisions of this title is committed, continued, or permitted.
C. Consistent with Section 109.4 and 114.4, of the 201620192022 California Building Code 2013 Administration, any person who violates a provision of this building code or fails to comply with any of the requirements thereof or who erects, constructs, alters or repairs a building or structure in violation of the approved construction documents or directive of the Building Official, or of a permit or certificate issued under the provisions of this building code, shall be subject to penalties as prescribed by law. An investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is then or subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be at least equal to, and not to exceed three times the amount of the permit fee required by this code. The payment of such investigation fee Agenda Item #8.1.
shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of this building code nor from any penalty prescribed by law.
D. Authority to File. Where a public nuisance exists, the city may immediately commence action or actions, proceedings at law and in equity, for the abatement, removal and enjoinment thereof in the manner provided by law; and shall take such other steps and shall apply to such court or courts as may have jurisdiction to grant such relief as will abate and remove such public nuisance and restrain and enjoin any person from maintaining such nuisance.

This chapter shall be known as the “unreinforced masonry building (URM) ordinance.” (Prior code § 4B.1)
15.40.020 Purpose.
It is generally acknowledged that the city will experience earthquakes in the future due to its proximity to the Rodgers Creek, Hayward and San Andreas faults, and may reasonably be expected to experience moderate to severe ground shaking during a significant earthquake. Such ground shaking may result in serious injury or death or impaired economic value due to damage or collapse of buildings in St. Helena. Buildings constructed of unreinforced masonry have been widely recognized for experiencing life safety hazardous damage including partial or total collapse during moderate to strong earthquakes. The purpose of this chapter is to provide alternative construction regulations designed to reduce the risk of death or injury resulting from earthquake hazards in existing unreinforced masonry buildings in a timely and economically feasible manner while preserving the historic character of the community. (Prior code § 4B.2) Agenda Item #8.1.
15.40.030 Scope.
The provisions of this chapter contain procedures for the systematic review and reconstruction of all existing unreinforced masonry buildings within the city to improve their safety during an earthquake. This chapter does not require alteration of existing electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems unless the conditions or defects endanger the life, health, property or safety of the public or the building’s occupants. Access for the physically disabled shall be provided to the extent required by the latest edition of the California Building Code and/or the State Historical Building Code. The requirements of this chapter shall apply to all buildings or portions of buildings constructed with unreinforced masonry walls with the following exceptions:
A. A building which has been seismically retrofitted since 1980, which complies with the strengthening standards in effect at the time as determined by the Building Official;
B. A detached group R division 3 occupancy or a detached group R division 1 occupancy having four living units or fewer;
C. Accessory buildings serving group R division 3 occupancies or accessory buildings serving group R division 1 occupancies having four living units or fewer;
D. Public schools;
E. Hospitals; or
F. State or federally owned buildings.
(Prior code § 4B.3)
15.40.040 Authority.
A. The Building Official or designee is authorized and directed to enforce all provisions of this chapter.
B. Unless otherwise noted, the provisions of the current code shall apply; however, this chapter shall not preclude the enforcement of any federal, state or other local codes, laws or ordinances.
C. The Building Official shall have the power to render interpretations of this chapter and to adopt and enforce rules and regulations supplemental to this chapter as he or she may deem necessary in order to clarify the application of the provisions of this chapter. Such interpretations, rules and regulations shall be in conformity with the intent and purpose of this chapter. (Prior code § 4B.4)
