amount remaining in the reserve after this requested appropriation is considered sufficient to meet present obligations and still provide for future contingencies. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone C-3 account at the close of the fiscal year. Based on current projections, and since the assessment for this zone can be increased, barring any catastrophic event it is not anticipated that the reserve will be depleted.
The proposed actual FY 2024-25 assessment is $179.16/dueF. The proposed maximum FY 2024-25 assessment is $252.19/dueF, which is an increase of 3.00 percent over the FY 2023-24 maximum assessment. If the assessment was set at a level that would fully fund the estimated FY 2024-25 expenditures without an appropriation from the reserve, the assessment would be $233.24/dueF.
ZONE C-4, FAIRWAY GREENS:
Zone C-4 includes all of the Fairway Greens subdivision in the northwesterly part of the City. The zone was formed to provide funds for the maintenance of masonry walls and landscaping and to provide its proportionate share of costs to maintain any parks serving the subdivision or within the service area of the subdivision.
The assessment for this zone has a provision for an annual escalator. The escalator is the greater of three percent or the percentage increase of the local CPI. The local CPI increased 2.63 percent; therefore, the FY 2023-24 escalator applied to the maximum allowable assessment is 3.00 percent. The actual FY 2023-24 assessment was $89.84/dueF.
The anticipated Zone C-4 reserve balance as of June 30, 2024, is $179,213.78. The recommended reserve balance is $217,581.00. It is recommended that the FY 2024-25 actual assessment increase by 10.08percent and that there be a $24,728.76 appropriation from the reserve to moderate in the increase. The amount remaining in the reserve after this requested appropriation is considered sufficient to meet present obligations and still provide for future contingencies. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone C-4 account at the close of the fiscal year. Based on current projections, and since the assessment for this zone can be increased, barring any catastrophic event it is not anticipated that the reserve will be depleted.
The proposed actual FY 2024-25 assessment is $98.90/dueF. The proposed maximum FY 2024-25 assessment is $333.92/dueF, which is an increase of 3.00 percent over the FY 2023-24 maximum assessment. If the assessment was set at a level that would fully fund the estimated FY 2024-25 expenditures without an appropriation from the reserve, the assessment would be $224.42/dueF.
ZONE C-6, WESTLAKE VILLAGES:
Zone C-6 is generally bounded by Eight Mile Road, A.G. Spanos Park West subdivision, Bear Creek and Disappointment Slough, and Rio Blanco Road. Zone C-6 was formed to provide funds for maintenance of public parks, a portion of the bicycle/pedestrian 645
ATTACHMENT C
path on the Bear Creek levee, and public street lighting constructed within the Westlake Villages project.
The assessment for this zone has a provision for an annual escalator. The escalator is the greater of three percent or the percentage increase of the local CPI. The local CPI increased 2.63 percent; therefore, the FY 2024-25 escalator applied to the maximum allowable assessment is 3.00 percent. The actual FY 2023-24 assessment was $105.40/dueF.
The anticipated Zone C-6 reserve balance as of June 30, 2024, is $337,639.26. The recommended reserve balance is $181,558.39. It is recommended that the FY 2024-25 actual assessment increase by 10.38 percent and that there be a $55,090.78 appropriation from the reserve to moderate in the increase. The amount remaining in the reserve after this requested appropriation is considered sufficient to meet present obligations and still provide for future contingencies. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone C-6 account at the close of the fiscal year. Based on current projections, and since the assessment for this zone can be increased, barring any catastrophic event it is not anticipated that the reserve will be depleted.
The proposed actual FY 2024-25 assessment is $116.34/dueF. The proposed maximum FY 2024-25 assessment is $232.38/dueF, which is an increase of 3.00 percent over the FY 2023-24 maximum assessment. If the assessment was set at a level that would fully fund the estimated FY 2024-25 expenditures without an appropriation from the reserve, the assessment would be $165.93/dueF. This will be studied in FY 2025-26 once the new development maintenance costs have been realized.
ZONE C-7 AND SUB-ZONE A, NORTH STOCKTON PROJECTS III:
North Stockton Projects III is generally bounded by Eight Mile Road, Lower Sacramento Road, and the Union Pacific Railroad. Zone C-7 was formed to provide for maintenance of Dorotha Pitts Park. Sub-Zone A was formed to provide for maintenance of streetscaping, walls, and streetlights in the Northbrook subdivision.
The assessment for this zone has a provision for an annual escalator. The escalator is the greater of three percent or the percentage increase of the local CPI. The local CPI increased 2.63 percent; therefore, the FY 2024-25 escalator applied to the maximum allowable assessment is 3.00 percent. The actual FY 2023-24 Zone C-7 assessment was $209.80/dueF. The actual FY 2022-23 Sub-Zone A assessment was $173.06/dueF.
The anticipated Zone C-7/7A reserve balance as of June 30, 2024, is $385,909.88. The recommended reserve balance is $1,010,680.89. It is recommended that FY 2024-25 assessment increase by 10.09 percent due to the financial impact of rapid inflation. This will be re-evaluated when preparing the FY 2025-26 budget. There is a request for $25,713.32 from Zone C-7 and a request for $49,283.76 from the Sub-Zone A reserve for continuing appropriations to modulate the annual increase. The assessment for the 646
ATTACHMENT C
zone can be increased slowly in the coming years to fully fund the zone and sub-zone without drawing on the reserves. The amount remaining in the reserve after these requested appropriations is considered sufficient to meet present obligations and still provide for future contingencies. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone C-7 and Sub-Zone A accounts at the close of the fiscal year. Based on current projections, and since the assessment for this zone can be increased, barring any catastrophic event it is not anticipated that the reserve will be depleted.
The proposed actual Zone C-7 FY 2024-25 assessment is $230.98/dueF. The proposed actual Sub-Zone A FY 2024-25 assessment is $190.52/dueF. The proposed maximum Zone C-7 FY 2024-25 assessment is $259.42/dueF, which is an increase of 3.00 percent over the FY 2023-24 maximum assessment. The proposed maximum Sub- Zone A FY 2024-25 assessment is $286.48/dueF, which is an increase 3.00 percent over the FY 2023-24 maximum assessment. If the assessments were set at a level that would fully fund the estimated FY 2024-25 expenditures without an appropriation from the reserve, the assessments for Zones C-7 and C-7 Sub-Zone A would be $264.07/dueF and $336.76/dueF, respectively.
ZONE D-1, BRIDGEPORT TRAILS:
Zone D-1 is located south of Charter Way, north of West Eighth Street, and east and west of Fresno Avenue. Improvements maintained include back-up walls and landscaping between the walls and back of sidewalk.
There is a request for an appropriation of $34,419.00 from the reserve for continuing appropriations to balance the budget. The amount remaining in the reserve after this requested appropriation is considered sufficient to meet present obligations and still provide for future contingencies. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone D-1 account at the close of the fiscal year.
The anticipated Zone D-1 reserve balance as of June 30, 2024, is $204,571.86. The recommended reserve balance is $289,109.51. When the assessment for Zone D-1 was originally approved, it did not include a provision for an annual escalator. The assessment cannot be increased without the affected property owners voting to approve the increase. Therefore, no change is proposed in the $85/dueF assessment for FY 2024-25. If the assessment was set at a level that would fully fund the estimated FY 2024-25 expenditures without an appropriation from the reserve, the assessment would be $193.25/dueF.
ZONE D-3, BRIDGEPORT TRAILS UNIT 4 AND 5:
Zone D-3 is located south of Charter Way, north of West Eighth Street, and east and west of Fresno Avenue. This zone was formed to maintain back-up walls and landscaping between the walls and back of sidewalk, and landscaped buffer parcels.
The assessment for this zone has a provision for an annual escalator. The escalator is the greater of three percent or the percentage increase of the local CPI. The local CPI increased 2.63 percent; therefore, the FY 2024-25 escalator applied to the maximum 647
ATTACHMENT C
allowable assessment is 3.00 percent. The actual FY 2023-24 assessment was $246.14/dueF.
The anticipated Zone D-3 reserve balance as of June 30, 2024, is $192,874.02. The recommended reserve balance is $123,482.50. It is recommended that the assessments for Zone D-3 be increased due to rapid inflation. It is recommended there be an appropriation of $10,554.86 from the reserve to fully fund estimated costs and to moderate the increase. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone D-3 account at the close of the fiscal year. Based on current projections, and since the assessment for this zone can be increased, barring any catastrophic event it is not anticipated that the reserve will be depleted.
The proposed actual FY 2024-25 assessment is $271.00/dueF. The proposed maximum FY 2024-25 assessment is $305.04/dueF, which is an increase of 3.00 percent over the FY 2023-24 maximum assessment. If the assessment was set at a level that would fully fund the estimated FY 2024-25 expenditures without an appropriation from the reserve, the assessment would be $328.36/dueF.
ZONE D-4, CALAVERAS ESTATES:
Zone D-4 includes the new development lying generally north of Barrymore Street on the east and west sides of Alvarado Avenue. This zone was formed to maintain the wall between the subdivision and the railroad tracks, public street lighting, an access way to the Calaveras River at the northerly end of Alvarado Avenue, landscaping in the vicinity of Alvarado Avenue and Beeler Street, and develop a replacement reserve for the eventual replacement of the wall.
The assessment for this zone has a provision for an annual escalator. The escalator is the greater of three percent or the percentage increase of the local CPI. The local CPI increased 2.63 percent; therefore, the FY 2024-25 escalator applied to the maximum allowable assessment is 3.00 percent. The actual FY 2023-24 assessment was $131.56/dueF.
The anticipated Zone D-4 reserve balance as of June 30, 2024, is $139,583.44. The recommended reserve balance is $81,297.17. While the reserve exceeds the recommended reserve balance, the proposed FY 2024-25 assessment does not fully fund the estimated expenditures. There is a request for an appropriation of $38,476.12 from the reserve. This appropriation from the reserve is designed to bring the reserve balance to the target level within a couple years, at which point the assessment will revert to a level necessary to fund budgeted expenditures and maintain the reserve.
The amount remaining in the reserve after this requested appropriation is considered sufficient to meet present obligations and still provide for future contingencies. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone D-4 account at the close of the fiscal year. Based on current projections, and since the assessment for this zone can be increased, barring any catastrophic event it is not anticipated that the reserve will be depleted.

ATTACHMENT C
The proposed actual FY 2024-25 assessment is $144.84/dueF. The proposed maximum FY 2024-25 assessment is $1,453.12/dueF, which is an increase of 3.00 percent over the FY 2023-24 maximum assessment. If the assessment was set at a level that would fully fund the estimated FY 2024-25 expenditures without an appropriation from the reserve, the assessment would be $436.32/dueF.
ZONE D-6, MOSS GARDEN:
Zone D-6 is located southeasterly of State Route 4/Charter Way and Fresno Avenue.
Improvements maintained/to be maintained include landscaping between the walls and curb, public street lighting, and its proportionate share of the cost to any park that serves the development or is within the service area of the development.
The assessment for this zone has a provision for an annual escalator. The escalator is the greater of three percent or the percentage increase of the local CPI. The local CPI increased 2.63 percent; therefore, the FY 2024-25 escalator applied to the maximum allowable assessment is 3.00 percent. The actual FY 2023-24 assessment was $13.48/dueF.
The anticipated Zone D-6 reserve balance as of June 30, 2024, is $153,128.67. The recommended reserve balance is $32,944.20. It is recommended that there be a $78,111.54 appropriation from the reserve, since the reserve exceeds the recommended reserve balance. Increasing the assessment by the CPI to offset rapid inflation, along with the appropriation from the reserve, is designed to bring the reserve closer to the target level within a few years at which time the assessment will revert to a level that will fully fund budgeted expenditures and maintain the reserve. The amount remaining in the reserve after this requested appropriation is considered sufficient to meet present obligations and still provide for future contingencies. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone D-6 account at the close of the fiscal year.
Based on current projections, and since the assessment for this zone can be increased, barring any catastrophic event it is not anticipated that the reserve will be depleted.
The proposed actual FY 2024-25 assessment is $14.84/dueF. The proposed maximum FY 2024-25 assessment is $593.64/dueF, which is an increase of 3.00 percent over the FY 2023-24 maximum assessment. If the assessment was set at a level that would fully fund the estimated FY 2024-25 expenditures without an appropriation from the reserve, the assessment would be $223.30/dueF.
ZONE E-1, LITTLE JOHN CREEK:
Zone E-1 is located north of Industrial Drive between Pock Lane and State Highway 99.
Improvements maintained/to be maintained include back-up walls, trees in tree wells, landscaping between the walls and back of sidewalk, the special bridge railing on the Pock Lane Bridge, and fund a proportionate share of the costs for Ernie Shropshire Park. This zone also contributes its proportionate share of costs for maintenance of the Stockton Airport Business Center storm drainage basin.
649
ATTACHMENT C
The assessment approved when the Little John Creek Zone was originally formed was $59.68. In June of 2000, an increase to the assessment was approved to account for increased maintenance costs and to provide for park maintenance. That additional assessment amount was also approved with an annual escalator. The portion of the FY 2024-25 maximum allowable assessment for this zone that is over the original $59.68, $277.00, is subject to the escalator. The escalator is the greater of three percent or the percentage increase of the local CPI. The local CPI increased 2.63 percent; therefore, the FY 2024-25 escalator applied to the maximum allowable assessment is 3.00 percent. The actual FY 2023-24 assessment was $226.00/dueF.
The anticipated Zone E-1 reserve balance as of June 30, 2023, is $559,855.50. The recommended reserve balance is $324,519.76. It is recommended that FY 2024-25 assessment increase by 10.10 percent due to the financial impact of rapid inflation.
This will be re-evaluated when preparing the FY 2025-26 budget. It is recommended there be an appropriation of $39,421.62 from the reserve to bring the reserve closer to the target level. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone E-1 account at the close of the fiscal year. Based on current projections, and since the assessment for this zone can be increased, barring any catastrophic event it is not anticipated that the reserve will be depleted.
Zone E-1 will contribute its proportionate share of $5,842.00 to the Stockton Airport Business Center Storm Drain Basin Maintenance District for maintenance costs of the Stockton Airport Business Center storm drain basin.
The proposed actual FY 2024-25 assessment is $248.82/dueF. The proposed maximum FY 2024-25 assessment is $277.36/dueF, which is a 3.00 percent increase in the park maintenance portion of the assessment over the FY 2023-24 maximum assessment. If the assessment was set at a level that would fully fund the estimated FY 2024-25 expenditures and reserve allocation, the assessment would be $298.72/dueF.
ZONE E-3, SEABREEZE:
Zone E-3 is generally located south of Industrial Drive and west of State Highway Route 99, and at the northwesterly corner of Pock Lane and Industrial Drive. Improvements maintained/to be maintained include back-up walls, landscaping between the walls and back of sidewalk, a landscaped area under the PG&E power lines west of Pock Lane, and fund a proportionate share of the costs for Ernie Shropshire Park. This zone also contributes its share for the costs of maintenance of the Stockton Airport Business Center storm drainage basin.
The assessment for this zone has a provision for an annual escalator. The escalator is the greater of three percent or the percentage increase of the local CPI. The local CPI increased 2.63 percent; therefore, the FY 2024-25 escalator applied to the maximum allowable assessment is 3.00 percent. The actual FY 2023-24 assessment was $429.80/dueF.

The anticipated Zone E-3 reserve balance as of June 30, 2024, is $291,726.32. The recommended reserve balance is $413,678.66. It is recommended that FY 2024-25 assessment increase by 10.10 percent due to the financial impact of rapid inflation. This will be re-evaluated when preparing the FY 2025-26 budget. There is a request for an appropriation of $68,550.90 from the reserve for continuing appropriations to fully fund estimated costs. The amount remaining in the reserve after this requested appropriation is considered sufficient to meet present obligations and still provide for future contingencies. The appropriation will be reduced, and the assessment gradually increased over the next several years until the assessment fully funds maintenance expenses and provide for contributing to the reserve to fund replacement of long service life improvements. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone E-3 account at the close of the fiscal year. Based on current projections, and since the assessment for this zone can be increased, barring any catastrophic event it is not anticipated that the reserve will be depleted.
Zone E-3 will also contribute $2,426 to the Stockton Airport Business Center Storm Drain Basin Maintenance District for its proportionate share of maintenance costs of the Stockton Airport Business Center storm drain basin.
The proposed actual FY 2024-25 assessment is $473.20/dueF. The proposed maximum FY 2024-25 assessment is $995.95/dueF, which is an increase of 3.00 percent over the FY 2023-24 maximum assessment.

The anticipated Zone E-4 reserve balance as of June 30, 2024, is $166,306.81. The recommended reserve balance is $417,156.95. It is recommended that there be a $129,856.32 appropriation from the reserve. The amount remaining in the reserve after this requested appropriation is considered sufficient to meet present obligations and still provide for future contingencies, however in subsequent years increases should continue to rebuild the reserve to the proper level. Any unexpended budgeted funds are returned to the Zone E-4 account at the close of the fiscal year. Based on current projections, and since the assessment for this zone can be increased, barring any catastrophic event it is not anticipated that the reserve will be depleted. 651

APPROVE MOTION TO AUTHORIZE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 3 FOR THE
EMERGENCY ON-CALL TREE SERVICES PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to authorize Contract Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $200,000 with West Coast Arborists, Inc. for the Emergency On-Call Tree Services, Project No. OM-22-051.
It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.
Summary
On June 14, 2022, by Motion No. 2022-06-14-1210, Council awarded a Contract for Services in the amount of $604,800 to West Coast Arborists, Inc. of Anaheim, CA, to provide emergency on-call tree services to supplement the City’s tree crew response to emergency callouts.
The City executed two Contract Change Orders (CCOs) with West Coast Arborists, Inc. of Anaheim, CA, in the amount of $160,000. CCO No. 1, in the amount of $120,000, was executed on February 23, 2023, to cover a significant increase in emergency calls due to downed trees from high winds and street flooding. CCO No. 2, in the amount of $40,000, was executed on June 8, 2023, to provide additional emergency on-call tree services due to severe storms in the spring of 2023. The revised contract amount is $764,800.
Staff recommends that Council approve CCO No. 3 in the amount of $200,000 with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (Attachment A). The total revised contract amount will be $964,800.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Operations and Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department provides emergency tree services during regular business hours throughout the year. Emergency tree services include the removal of downed trees or limbs on homes and vehicles and trees blocking the streets. During extreme weather events, the City relies on tree service contractors to supplement the City’s tree crew responses to emergency callouts, and often, there are simultaneous tree emergencies. In addition, during larger storm events, dispatch will call for tree emergencies, typically continuing over extended periods, requiring contracted assistance to accommodate shift work. Emergency On-Call Tree Services, Project No. OM-22-051, provides emergency on-call tree services during regular and after- business hours throughout the year.

File #: 24-0251, Version: 1
The City Manager approved CCO No. 1, in the amount of $120,000, on February 23, 2023. CCO No. 1 was needed as the City activated the Emergency Operations Center on December 31, 2022, in response to extreme weather conditions. The City experienced a significant increase in emergency call volume due to downed trees from high winds and street flooding. CCO No. 2, in the amount of $40,000, was approved by the City Manager on June 8, 2023, for additional funding for emergency on-call tree services due to severe storms in the spring of 2023.
Present Situation
Public Works supplements the City’s tree crew with contracted vendor services during storms and other emergency events. Public Works dispatched over 70 calls between February 4 and February 8, 2024, for service to West Coast Arborists, Inc. due to the high volume of emergency tree calls. CCO No. 3 will ensure adequate funding is available to pay West Coast Arborists, Inc. for all invoices associated with the storm and provide sufficient funding for the remainder of the fiscal year. CCO No. 3 will be split evenly over Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 and FY 2024-25.
Council approval is needed for CCO No. 3 with West Coast Arborists, Inc. because the cumulative amount of CCO No. 3 exceeds the administrative change order authority allowed under the existing contract.
Staff recommends that Council approve CCO No. 3 in the amount of $200,000 with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (Attachment A).

DISCUSSION
Background
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 funding provides for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the State highway and local streets and road systems. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) is responsible for oversight of funding and/or programs created with the approval of SB1.
SB1 provides funding for the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Program. Other programs include the Local Partnership Program, the Active Transportation Program, State Highway Operation and Protection Program, and Local Streets and Roads Program. The RMRA funding is part of the City’s overall Gas Tax allocation; however, RMRA funds can only be expended on projects that meet eligibility criteria and have been approved by the CTC. RMRA funds are accounted for and reported separately from regular Gas Tax funds.
Approximately $6.2 million in SB1 RMRA Program funding was allocated to the City for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 and approved by Council on May 11, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-05-11-1208. The project list was subsequently approved by the CTC and provides for multiple resurfacing projects that may consist of slurry sealing, micro-surfacing, cape seal, and/or an asphalt overlay. These projects are all being delivered separately based on the type of surfacing treatment. A cost-effective method of maintaining streets is to provide treatment for streets that are in fair to good condition. The preservation of streets in this condition is critical, as rehabilitation costs rise exponentially as pavement deteriorates.
The Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2021-22 SB1 - Cape Seal, Project No. WT22003, was included in the 2021-26 Five-Year CIP. The project will apply a cape seal to approximately six centerline miles of various residential roadways citywide (Attachment A). The project includes removing and replacing pavement striping and legends, and applying cape seal. Cape seal is the process of placing a chip seal on the existing surface and then placing a slurry seal surface on top of the chip seal. Chip seal is a roadway surface treatment consisting of a layer of asphalt rubber binder with a layer of embedded aggregate. Slurry seal is a mixture of water, asphalt emulsion, finely crushed rock, and additives applied in a thin layer to an asphalt pavement surface. This treatment improves rideability and extends the roadway’s life expectancy.
The list of roads for this project was developed from the City of Stockton Pavement Management System. The system analyzes variables such as current pavement condition and projected traffic load to forecast how roadway segments will decline over time. The forecasts are used to evaluate the cost and benefits of repair options and identify the optimal pavement resurfacing plan. Roadways with a Pavement Condition Index ranging between 50 and 65 are suitable for this treatment. Cape sealing of the selected local roads is anticipated to extend their life span by a minimum of seven years.
On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. The CWTA was not applied to this project because the engineer’s estimate was under $1 million.

Present Situation
On January 3, 2024, the Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2021-22 SB1 - Cape Seal, Project No.
WT22003, was advertised for bids. On February 1, 2024, four bids were received with the following results:
COMPANY NAME BID AMOUNT ADJUSTED BID AMOUNT
(local preference applied)
VSS International, Inc. $ 912,000 $ 912,000
(West Sacramento, CA)
American Pavement
Systems, Inc. $ 959,625 $ 959,625
(Modesto, CA)
Pavement Coatings Co. $ 996,778 $ 996,778
(Sacramento, CA)
Northwest Paving, Inc. $1,033,179 $1,033,179

Engineer’s Estimate $ 880,000
The requirements of Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.090, Local Business Preference, apply to this project. Application of the Local Business Preference has no effect on the bid order.
The bid from VSS International, Inc., the lowest responsive bidder, is regular in all respects and has the proper license to perform the work. Staff recommends Council approve the plans and specifications for the project and award a Construction Contract to VSS International, Inc. of West Sacramento, CA, in the amount of $912,000.
The project is in conformance with the City’s General Plan, pursuant to California Government Code, section 65402, and is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA as specified under Section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines. As a result, the project has been granted a Categorical Exemption. The activities related to this project constitute a discretionary project under the City’s jurisdiction and qualifies as a project that does not have a significant effect on the environment. This resolution will approve the filing of Notice of Exemption No. NOE9-24 under CEQA. Construction is anticipated to begin in early summer 2024 and be complete by late summer 2024, weather permitting.

PUBLIC HEARING AUTHORIZING A VACATION OF A PORTION OF EAST SONORA STREET,
EAST CHURCH STREET, AND EAST SCOTTS AVENUE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND RESERVING A
PUBLIC EASEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution:
1. Authorizing the vacation, and interest herein, of a portion of East Sonora Street, East Church Street, and East Scotts Avenue;
2. Authorizing the reservation of a public utility easement;
3. Authorizing the filing of Notice of Exemption No. 64-23 under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the abandonment of a portion of East Sonora Street, East Church Street, and East Scotts Avenue; and,
4. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to take all the necessary and appropriate actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.
Summary
The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC) requested the City of Stockton initiate a vacation to abandon streets located at East Sonora Street, East Church Street, and East Scotts Avenue to support construction of the Stockton Diamond Grade Separation Project (Attachment A - Vicinity Map and Attachment B - Aerial Map). Fee titles to the abandonment areas are owned by the adjoining properties owners, which includes the Union Pacific Railroad.
DISCUSSION
Background
The tracks of two major railroads intersect at-grade in the City of Stockton at what is called the Stockton Diamond. The rail intersection, located just south of Downtown Stockton near Aurora Street South and East Scotts Avenue, is the busiest, most congested rail bottleneck in California. The rail backup at the Stockton Diamond creates operational inefficiencies for goods movement both locally with the Central Valley and across the national railway network. It also impacts the frequency, reliability, and potential expansion opportunity of passenger rail services. The proposed project will grade separate the principal lines of BNSF Railway (BNSF) and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) at the Stockton Diamond, creating uninterrupted flow of rail traffic through the crossing. Project scope also includes bike, pedestrian, and roadway improvements at ten at-grade local road crossings in the City of Stockton, enhancing safety and access for residents.

Present Situation
The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC) requested the City initiate a vacation to abandon a portion of streets located at East Sonora Street, East Church Street, and East Scotts Avenue to support construction of the Stockton Diamond Grade Separation Project.
UPRR owns the property to the west abutting the proposed abandonment areas. Abandoning these portions of East Sonora Street, East Church Street, and East Scotts Avenue will provide the SJRRC with the necessary right-of-way to initiate construction of the Project. The proposed area to be abandoned consists of approximately 1.59 acres, more or less. Each abandonment area is approximately 304 feet, between Union Street to the East and the railroad tracks to the West.
The Public Works, Community Development, Municipal Utilities, Police and Fire Departments, as well as local utilities, were notified of the proposed vacation at this site; no objections were received. It is recommended that a public utility easement be reserved in each of the proposed abandonment areas.
The City may perform this proposed abandonment as a general vacation under Division 9, Part 3, Section 8300, et. seq., of the California Streets and Highway Code. A general vacation requires the City Council to hold a public hearing and perform the notification and advertising requirements. A public hearing is required for this proposed abandonment since Sonora Street, Church Street, and Scotts Avenue are active rights-of-way, and public funds have been used to maintain the area within the past five years.
The Public Works Department concurs with the proposed vacation of these portions of East Sonora Street, East Church Street, and East Scotts Avenue, as the City maintains this portion of roadway under the street maintenance program, and the abandonment will reduce future maintenance costs to the City.
NOTIFICATION
Pursuant to California Streets and Highway Code Sections 8322, notice of a public hearing for a proposed vacation must be published at least two successive weeks prior to the hearing. The notice for this public hearing was published in The Record
on April 1, 2024 and April 8, 2024.
Also pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section 8323, not less than three notices of the proposed vacation were duly posted in a manner and form required by law in conspicuous places along said portions of East Sonora Street, East Church Street, and East Scotts Avenue, not more than 300 feet apart and at least 14 days prior to the hearing date.
ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE
It has been determined by the Community Development Department that this project is Categorically Exempt under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3). The activity is granted a general rule exemption since there is no possibility that the activity in question would have significant effect on the environment and, therefore, is exempt from the provisions of CEQA under the above-noted statutory or categorical exemption(s). The project is also not subject to any of the exceptions to the use of a Categorical Exemption listed at CEQA Guidelines §15300.2.

File #: 23-1168, Version: 1
In accordance with Section 65402 of the Government Code, it has been determined that this project or action conforms to the City’s General Plan designation for the site and with the General Plan Policy Document, as amended.

SUBJECT: CEQ
A NOE 64 – ABANDONMENT RIGHT-OF-WAY
The Co
mmunity Development Department received a request to review the above- referenced project for conformity with the Stockton General Plan and make an environmental determination pursuant to the California Enviro nmental Quality Act (CEQA). T he applicant, the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, is abandoning right -of-way at Sonora, Church and Scotts Streets between Union Street and the Union Pacific Railroad. See attachment A for specific location.
In acc
ordance with Government Code §65402, the Comm unity Development D epartment determines the project is in conformance with the Stockton General Plan. This determination is based on, but not limited to, conformance with General Plan Policy, LU -6.3 (Land Use) stating, “Ensure that all neighborhoods have access to well-maintained public facilities and utilities that meet community service needs.”
Conc
erning the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination, the Community Development Department concludes the project is Categorically Exempt under CEQA Guidelines and is granted a ‘general rule exemption’ under Section 15061(B)(3) since there is no possibility that the activity in question would have significant effect on the environment and the activity is no subject to CEQA. The project is also not subject to any of the exc eptions to the use of a Categorical Exemption listed at CEQA Guidelines §15300.2.
Upon appr
oval by City Council, the Economic Development Department is advised to complete the attached Notice of Exemption (Attachment B) and file it with the San Joaquin County Clerk Office to initiate a 35-day statute of limitations on court challenges. Please retain a copy of the original posted notice within the project file in the Economic Development Department project file.

DISCUSSION
Background
2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
To receive annual federal entitlement funds (CDBG, HOME, and ESG), HUD requires jurisdictions to prepare an AAP. The 2024-2025 AAP represents year five (5) of the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan and identifies the specific projects and activities that the City will fund during the year to help accomplish the goals established in the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The AAP contains funding recommendations for CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds for the upcoming program year 2024- 2025. The AAP recommendations align with local established adopted goals and metrics, HUD requirements, and best practices.
Using award amounts from the previous program year as projected grant awards for FY 2024-2025, the City expects to receive approximately $3,220,474 in CDBG funds, $1,760,707 in HOME funds, and $275,046 in ESG funds. Final award amounts and distribution among the different projects/activities identified in this AAP and sources and uses will be proportionately increased or decreased upon HUD’s official announcement of FY 2024-2025 allocations.
Slum Blight Area
The CDBG Slum Blight Area (SBA) national objective allows the use of CDBG program funds to fund activities aimed at preventing or eliminating slums or blight. Since 1996, Stockton has used a portion of CDBG funds in addressing slum and blight through various programs, including the Commercial Façade Improvement Forgivable Loan Program. The programs have aided in revitalizing blighted commercial properties within the previous Redevelopment Project Areas, which also met the definition for HUD’s Slum Blight Area designation.
Pursuant to HUD guidelines, 24 CFR 570.208(b)(1), an activity will be considered to address prevention or elimination of slums or blight on an area basis if:
i) The area “meets a definition of a slum, blighted, deteriorated or deteriorating area under State or local law”;
ii) The area also meets the conditions in either paragraph (A) or (B):
A) At least 25 percent of properties throughout the area experience one or more of the following conditions:
1) Physical deterioration of buildings or improvements; 2) Abandonment of properties;
3) Chronic high occupancy turnover rates or chronic high vacancy rates in commercial or industrial buildings;
4) Significant declines in property values or abnormally low property values relative to other areas in the community; or
5) Known or suspected environmental contamination.
B) The public improvements throughout the area are in a general state of deterioration.
In order for SBA designation to remain eligible, the City must maintain documentation on the boundaries and conditions of the area, as well as the methodology used to delineate the area.
Furthermore, the designated area must be redetermined every 10 years for continued qualification.
City of Stockton Printed on 4/10/2024Page 2 of 7

Activities assisted with CDBG funds must address one or more of the conditions that contributed to the deterioration of the area.
Community Input and Funding Process
The initial planning process for the development of this AAP began through a community meeting held on December 6, 2023 by the Community Development Committee (CDC) with an overview of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan process, the Public Service NOFA, and related AAP planning process.
The 2024-2025 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for CDBG public services and ESG homeless services programs was launched on January 9, 2024 and closed on February 2, 2024 with applications being received through the City’s online grant application portal.
The Annual Action Plan has been prepared in accordance with citizen participation requirements with publication of public notices announcing the availability of the Annual Action Plan and the 30-day public review period March 15 to April 16, 2024. Finally, the AAP was vetted through the Community Development Committee (CDC), an advisory body of the City Council, on March 27, 2024. The Slum Blight Area map was also part of the citizen participation review process.
Present Situation
Below is an overview of each funding source and a summary of recommended funding for each program within the FY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan:
Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG)
CDBG is a flexible program that provides funding to address a wide range of community development needs that benefit low-income residents. Cities with more than 50,000 people and counties with a population of more than 200,000 are eligible to receive this funding from HUD as an entitlement grantee. Each year, HUD determines the CDBG allocation using a formula that considers the total population, the number of persons in poverty, housing overcrowding, and the age of the housing units within the jurisdiction. Program regulations require that all CDBG funded projects address at least one of three national objectives: (1) assist low-income persons, (2) eliminate slum and blighted property, or (3) meet an urgent community need. The City must annually report to HUD how each organization receiving CDBG funding met at least one of the three national objectives, and all other HUD and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) program guidelines.
CDBG funding caps:
i. In accordance with HUD regulations, twenty percent of the annual entitlement grant may be used for program administration costs.
ii. The City may allocate up to 15 percent of its annual CDBG grant to support operational costs of local organizations that provide essential public services to low-income persons. iii. Remaining funds can be used for a range of activities, including:
a. Rehabilitation of residential and commercial property b. Demolition
c. Public facilities and improvements
City of Stockton Printed on 4/10/2024Page 3 of 7
powered by Legistar™
765
File #: 23-1176, Version: 1
d. Economic development
e. Public services
The total CDBG sources of funds available for the 2024-2025 program year is estimated to be $5,447,908 which includes $3,220,474 of new Entitlement, $1,344,493, of program income and $882,941 of estimated reprogrammed funds. The activities recommended for funding for the 2024- 2025 program year are summarized below.
Housing Programs
The City has three active CDBG/HOME funded affordable housing programs:
i. The Emergency Home Repair Program (EHRP) is designed to assist low-income homeowners in addressing emergency housing problems that represent an immediate health and safety danger to the occupants. EHRP loans are funded from the CDBG Revolving Loan (RL) fund, a separate fund where CDBG loan repayments are placed and reused for new loans. ii. The Housing Rehabilitation Program is designed to maintain low-income community members’ ability to have safe living conditions and prevent displacement. The current program guidelines are being updated to better reflect the needs of the community and serve more residents. In 2024-2025, EHRP assistance will be provided via the Housing Rehabilitation Program, thereby combining both programs into one. The Housing Rehabilitation and Emergency Repair Program will have a combined allocation of $750,000.
iii. CDBG Housing Loan Program: Eligible uses include providing loans to affordable housing developers for Multi-family Housing project rehabilitation and/or eligible costs related to the development of low- and moderate-income multi-family housing. The program has an allocation of $2,283,813.
Economic Development Programs
The City plans to fund several programs to assist local businesses. These include:
i. The Commercial Rehabilitation Programs will consist of the Commercial Façade Improvement Forgivable Loan Program for exterior rehabs and Commercial Emergency Grant Program to address infrastructure code compliance of blighted properties; allocation $450,000. ii. The Business Support Programs will consist of direct financial assistance programs for for- profit businesses such as the Produce Grant Program, Commercial Emergency Grant if it is for equipment to correct code violations that prevent a small business from operating (i.e. upgraded hood with fire suppression system for a restaurant), and potentially rebranding of the Micro Storefront Program; allocation $250,000.
iii. The Stockton Entrepreneurship Program will support efforts around technical assistance for for -profit businesses; allocation $250,000.
CDBG Public Service Sub-recipients
Through the 2024-2025 NOFA process, the City received 13 applications for CDBG/ Public Services programs. Applications were submitted through the City’s online portal (Attachment A - CDBG/ESG Application Summary and Recommendation). Review and selection of eligible applications was conducted in a two-tiered process:
i. Technical review and risk assessment where an EDD committee reviewed all applications to determine compliance with stringent HUD regulations including conflict of interest City of Stockton Printed on 4/10/2024Page 4 of 7
powered by Legistar™
766
File #: 23-1176, Version: 1
requirements, followed by staff’s scoring of those applications that passed the risk assessment and technical review. Of the 13 applications received, three were deemed eligible and passed to the next NOFA phase.
ii. The Community Development Committee (CDC) held a public meeting on February 21, 2024, where applicants that met the NOFA scoring thresholds provided a presentation to the CDC.
The CDC scored each applicant’s presentations and had the ability to modify the EDD’s committee scoring only as outlined in the NOFA guidelines. Final scoring results and recommendations were presented to CDC on March 27, 2024. Up to $470,000 is being recommended toward eligible public service activities, including fair housing..
CDBG Administration/ Program Delivery Costs
This category includes CDBG program administration, the costs associated with daily operations, such as staff costs to administer the program, materials and supplies, training, and consultant services. Program Delivery includes staff costs attributed directly to projects and project delivery costs, such as obtaining title reports and appraisals. Total Administration/Oversight costs for 2024- 2025 are allocated as $644,095, and Program Delivery allocation of $350,000.
Slum Blight Area Designation
In 2023, RSG, Inc. completed a reevaluation of the previous Slum Blight Area as well as the current Opportunity Zones census tracts. Using available data, conducting a field study for physical assessments, and considering the City’s and Council’s goals of revitalizing downtown and Shape Stockton initiative, the Slum Blight Area was determined to include a 5.62-sqaure mile area located in central/south Stockton. The area is primarily composed of Downtown Stockton, the Little Manila/Gleason Park area, South Airport Way Corridor, and Cabral/East Cabral area.
The evaluation determined that 34 percent of properties within the Slum Blight Area exhibit one or more forms of HUD’s condition of blight. The area also met the slum and blight criteria established under State law (California Health and Safety Code Section 33030 and 33031(a)(1)) and local law (Stockton Municipal Code Section 8.36.040). Therefore, the area qualifies as a slum and blighted area under the CDBG program regulations, and the SBA national objective will be used in deploying CDBG-funded activities and programs to assist in revitalizing vital commercial corridors and public infrastructure.
Emergency Solutions Grant Program
The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) is an entitlement funding source from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the eligible activities include street outreach, emergency shelter, homeless prevention, rapid rehousing assistance, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and program administration. The purpose of the ESG program is to provide essential services to homeless individuals and families. HUD limits the amount of a jurisdiction’s ESG grant that can assist emergency shelters and street outreach activities to no more than 60 percent of the total ESG allocation. In addition, the City can allocate up to 7.5 percent of the grant for program administration.

i. Technical Review and risk assessment where an EDD committee reviewed all applications to determine compliance with stringent HUD regulations including conflict of interest requirements, followed by staff’s scoring of those applications that passed the risk assessment and technical review. Of the 7 applications received, three were deemed eligible and passed to the next NOFA phase.
ii. The Community Development Committee (CDC) held a public meeting on February 21, 2024, where applicants that met the NOFA scoring thresholds provided a presentation to the CDC.
The CDC scored each applicant’s presentations and had the ability to modify the EDD’s committee scoring only as outlined in the NOFA guidelines. Up to $254,418 is being recommended toward eligible ESG activities including emergency shelter operations and homeless prevention assistance (Attachment A - CDBG/ESG Application Summary and Recommendation).
HOME Investment Partnership Program
Local governments must use HOME funds to create affordable housing for low- and moderate- income households. HOME funds are awarded annually as a formula grant to participating jurisdictions. The Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) allows state and local governments to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees, and other forms of credit enhancement.
HOME funds can be used for four primary activities: homebuyer programs, homeowner rehabilitation programs, rental housing programs, and tenant-based rental assistance. The maximum income of a household assisted by a HOME funded project must not exceed 80 percent of the area median income (AMI).
The estimated total sources of funds available for the 2024-2025 program year is $2,555,811 including $1,760,707 of new Entitlement, $200,000 of estimated Program Income, and $595,104 of the Prior Year’s Program Income.
HOME Program Administration/Loan Fund
Program Administration includes the general costs associated with the administration and oversight of the HOME program. A jurisdiction may spend up to ten percent of its entitlement and program income on administrative costs. Like CDBG Program Delivery, Housing Program Delivery includes staff costs attributed directly to specific housing projects.
The HOME Loan Fund sets aside HOME funds to be made available via loans for multi-family developments. In January 2024, the City released an Affordable Housing NOFA making available $16 million of several state and federal funding sources including HOME. The City may recommend HOME loan funds to support project completion of eligible programs in which site control has been obtained and additional sources of funds identified. Staff will bring all future funding recommendations to Council for final approval.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Stockton Annual Action Plan (AAP) outlines the expected activities to undertake during the Program Year (PY) beginning July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025. The identified activities will use funding from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program funds that the City of Stockton receives from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This AAP represents the fifth year of the City of Stockton five-year 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan (the Consolidated Plan). The AAP describes how the City will address the proposed priority goals, activities, planned outcomes, budget, and the resources allocated for the PY 2024-2025, to housing and community development projects to meet its established goals as identified in the City’s Five-Year 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan. The AAP identifies the expected resources and the activities for funding during the program year.
1. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
The PY 2024-2025 AAP identifies the various activities and projects that will be implemented and funded under the CDBG, ESG, and HOME federal programs to meet the goals and objectives identified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The City anticipates allocating $3,220,474 in CDBG funding, $1,760,707 in HOME funding, and $275,046 in ESG funding; these are projections using award amounts from the previous program year. Final award amounts and distribution among the different projects/activities identified in this AAP and sources and uses will be proportionately adjusted (increased or decreased) upon HUD’s official announcement of the PY 2024-2025 allocations. The objectives and outcomes expected from implementing the 2024-2025 AAP are identified in AP-20 and AP-35.
The Consolidated Plan sets goals and strategies to accomplish over the fiscal years of 2020-2024. It identifies a list of funding priorities established based on data from the Consolidated Plan’s Needs Assessment, Market Analysis, public meetings, and community survey results. The goals listed below represent the City’s priority needs and serve as the basis for the fiscal year 2024-2025 programs and activities identified in the Action Plan.

4. Public Services: Ensure the provision of high-quality public services to support ongoing community development, including the provision of funding for fair housing services, among other activities. Actively and faithfully promote fair housing and investigate housing discrimination. Prioritize the maintenance and improvement of municipal services, facilities, and infrastructure.
2. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.
In PY 2023-2024, the Economic Development Department (EDD) continued to work on implementing planned activities and any prior year unmet needs. The projects and activities identified in this 2024- 2025 Annual Action Plan are a result of an assessment of the City’s past programs and activities.
During PY 2023-2024, staff developed new underwriting guidelines for both CDBG and ESG subrecipient selection as well as for the City’s affordable housing development projects. The intent of these newly designed guidelines is to improve the city’s effectiveness and efficiency in underwriting all future planned activities and as a result make better funding decisions with the end goal of improved performance efficiencies by subrecipients and in turn the City of Stockton.
The CDBG, the ESG, and the HOME programs provided operating funds for many local programs, allowing the City to make progress toward the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan Housing programs funded through the CDGB and HOME programs assisted in expanding the supply of affordable housing. CDBG and ESG funded public service programs supported community development, fair housing services, food security, and provide shelter and housing solutions for low-income residents.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
7. Introduction
The planning process required under HUD regulations for the development of the AAP requires jurisdictions to reach out to, and consult with, other public and private agencies and organizations to collect information on need, to identify available resources and gaps in the official delivery structure, and to coordinate the development of funding allocation priorities, performance standards, and evaluation outcomes.
The City of Stockton consulted with several organizations, stakeholders, community members, and service providers. Consultations occur throughout the year as part of the City’s engagement with local community forums and collaboration with San Joaquin Continuum of Care, local homeless service providers, housing advocates, the Housing Authority, and affordable housing providers.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City’s engagement strategy includes active participation in several committees and working groups with members from public and assisted housing organizations, service agencies, social services, and mental health providers. The City holds a Board seat on the San Joaquin Continuum of Care (CoC). The CoC includes service providers such as private/governmental health, youth/senior services, affordable housing, mental health, and other government agencies. These meetings serve as a collaboration meeting for all members for service delivery throughout San Joaquin County.
The City’s Economic Development Department meets regularly with sub-recipients and partner agencies (including close collaboration with other City departments) to discuss HUD planning activities and/or projects. Similarly, the City works directly with the Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin through partnerships on affordable housing projects. Regular communication between the agencies mentioned above is maintained to address needs in the community.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
Consultation and coordination with the San Joaquin County Continuum of Care (CoC) representatives is a fundamental component of the plan development process. Efforts to address the needs of homeless persons are described in greater detail throughout the Consolidated Plan. The City of Stockton is an active San Joaquin County CoC member; the City’s Homeless Strategic Initiatives Manager maintains a seat on the Board. Areas of coordination with the CoC include:
EXHIBIT 1
783
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
10 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Coordinated Funding Strategies: The City partners with the CoC Collaborative Applicant to review local community needs and program opportunities. The City works in partnership with local funders, including the County, managed care plans, and hospitals to create high-level systems change.
• Data Sharing and Analytics: The City participates in the local Data and HMIS committee and works jointly with the HMIS lead to foster uniform data reporting. ESG subrecipients are required to participate in the HMIS and funding is allocated toward the operations and management of the HMIS, including licenses and staff training. • Coordinated Entry: Regionally, the CoC has adopted a Housing First framework. Through City and partner funding, the CES system is functional, serving to identify and prioritize individuals and families facing the highest vulnerability for permanent or permanent supportive housing. • Education Capacity Building: The City of Stockton works in partnership with the United Way of San Joaquin to strengthen the knowledge and understanding of the homeless system. United Way’s work includes but is not limited to trainings and learning sessions to build capacity of new and emerging community leaders, including those with lived experience. • Addressing Racial and Ethnic Disparities: City Staff chairs the Strategic Planning sub-committee of the CoC, which this year is taking a focused look at the racial and ethnic disparities that are existing within the homeless continuum. The City, CoC, and Collaborative Applicant are participating in the “Equity and Data Analysis” HUD SNAPS sponsored Community Workshop.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS As the largest city within the San Joaquin CoC area, the City of Stockton maintains a seat on the CoC governing body and participates in consultation with the San Joaquin County, and other participating agencies and organizations, regarding ESG funding. The City of Stockton included a CoC member in the ESG grant review process to assist with grant application review. The application review is based on past performance and outcomes, alignment with homeless action plan goals/priorities, and an assessment to avoid duplication of services in the funding decisions. In addition, the City notifies the CoC during the AAP citizen participation period as a mode of consultation with the CoC.
The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is an effective relational database for coordinating client services, community planning and public policy, and increasing collaboration across agencies. HMIS can help identify gaps in service, racial and ethnic disparities, and service provision to homeless individuals and families as well as person at risk of homelessness. Example performance measures include length of homelessness, returns to homelessness, first time homeless, number of sheltered homeless persons, and exits to permanent housing.

The City of Stockton follows its Citizen Participation Plan as a guide for engaging with citizens and encouraging citizen participation. The planning process for the development of this Annual Action Plan began in December 2023 with the launch of the City’s public service NOFA. During the citizen participation process, community meetings were held to inform the public of the 2024-2025 AAP process and the programs offered by various funding sources covered under the AAP. Comments from the community meetings were obtained for needs assessment to consider for goal setting. A public hearing at City Council was held on April 16, 2024. The public comment period was held from March 15, 2024 through April 16, 2024. A press release was issued on March 12, 2024 and posted on the City’s website. A public notice announcing the AAP draft availability was published in the Stockton Record and in Spanish in the Latino Times. Dates, times and locations of community meetings as well as public hearings were published through these mediums and are summarized in Table 4.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Existing HUD resources allow the City to leverage additional local, state, and private funding sources to maximize impact. The City identifies additional funds during the project planning phase and prior to project award to complement the goals in the five-year Consolidated Plan. For example, the City receives Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) funding from the State of California to build regional coordination and a unified regional response to reduce and end homelessness, informed by a best-practices framework focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing . Another State source of funding is Project Homekey grant funding for the construction or renovation of permanent housing units for homeless individuals. Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds from the State provide resources to complement Federal and local resources allocated to a wider range of affordable housing projects. It is important to note that HHAP and Homekey funds are not permanent sources of funding, however the City will continue to use these resources to leverage HUD funds as they continue to become available.
In 2018, the City was awarded a Brownfields Assessment Coalition Grant from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which has supported several of the City’s goals of transforming underutilized parcels to promote affordable housing, small business development, and promote overall economic growth and development. The EPA Grant expired in November 2023; however, the initiative resulted in the leveraging of nearly $5.25 million of additional funding from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), as outlined below.
For the City’s unsheltered population, funding has also been leveraged via the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocations to expand homeless services and strengthen public infrastructure and facilities for very-low-income communities, including those experiencing homelessness. The City also received funding from the US Small Business Administration Office of Grants Management in 2022 and continues to leverage the funds to support economic development activities to support local microenterprises. The City continues to search for additional opportunities to leverage funds on a regular basis.
Private Resources: Affordable Housing Program (AHP) is a semi-annual competitive grant program offered by financial institutions associated with the twelve local Federal Home Loan (FHL) Banks. Private Mortgages provided by private lenders have financed many of the larger multifamily housing projects, as well as some CDBG projects undertaken within the City. Private Industry companies and groups have established EXHIBIT 1
802
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
29 funds that can be leveraged to facilitate affordable and workforce housing development. Private Philanthropy through the San Joaquin Community Foundation, local hospitals and health systems, and United Way of San Joaquin continues to support programs for the most vulnerable individuals in our communities. Philanthropic partners, including local managed care plans are making significant investments to programs within the homeless continuum of care.
Any funding source matching requirements imposed on the City are generally passed on to subrecipients requiring the respective match as a minimum threshold.
HOME funded housing projects typically far exceed minimum matching requirements due to the need for developers to secure most of the funding from other public and private funding sources. The current HOME match requirement for the City of Stockton is
12.5% per match reductions published by HUD in September 2023.
HUD requires a 100% match for the City’s ESG grant. ESG match requirements are passed on to subrecipients. The City closely assesses that this requirement is met during its review of program application review and enforced during the project period.

30 If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City of Stockton was awarded $5.2 million from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) under the Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) to remediate a nine-acre City-owned site along the waterfront. The four (4) parcels, collectively known as South Pointe, are located at 705, 833, and 855 West Weber Avenue. The City has entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (ENRA) with RBH Group of Newark, NJ to develop an approximately 853,000 SF mixed-use residential development on South Pointe (701-855 W Weber Avenue). Phase I will include housing 300 units, 4,000 sf of educational space, and 16,000 sf of retail and/or community facility space. A Disposition and Development Agreement was approved by City Council on February 6, 2024. Depending on the results of the remediation efforts, Phase I is expected to begin construction by the end of 2025.
Phase II will consist of 220 housing units. The planned development builds upon the City’s prior investments in waterfront entertainment and recreation and seeks to create a dynamic new neighborhood that extends the vibrancy of downtown Stockton further into the south waterfront.
In addition, the State Surplus Land Act requires the city to identify surplus and excess local public lands be declared surplus by City Council and issue a Notice of Availability to housing developers and local agencies. All dispositions must be approved by HCD before a sale or lease can be finalized. Three areas of City-owned properties have been deemed surplus and are available and suitable for housing: Lafayette/Stanislaus (four parcels), Weber Avenue (four parcels), and South Airport (one parcel). The address and acreage of each property is listed below. 530 Lafayette - 0.11 acres

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The allocation priorities derive from the goals outlined in the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan.
The City has identified the lack of sufficient funding as the greatest obstacle to meeting the underserved needs. Other noted obstacles in addressing community needs are, but not limited to, housing market conditions (e.g. affordability), economic conditions, services available to support diverse population, cost of real estate, prevailing wage requirements, increased construction costs, limited supply chain, etc.
During the next year, the City will continue to apply for funding and/or support applications by other organizations to expand affordable housing opportunities, homeless assistance and supportive services, EXHIBIT 1

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City does not allocate funds to specific geographic target areas; rather, the City makes resources available on a city-wide basis.
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City of Stockton allocates HUD resources on a city-wide basis. For example, the City’s housing rehabilitation program is equally available to qualifying residents in all geographic subareas, with eligibility being determined based on the income of the household receiving assistance.
A Slum Blight Area Map will be used for activities / programs related to the elimination of slums and blight including but not limited to infrastructure improvements in a deteriorated area and economic development assistance to induce redevelopment in blighted areas.
Discussion
To provide further guidance for the use of public funds in blighted areas throughout the city and to encourage further investment in specific areas, the City developed a Slum Blight Area map for eligible activities. The Slum Blight Area consists of 5.62 square miles with 34% of all parcels being categorized as “blighted / deteriorated”. The 5.62 square miles is comprised of 7,728 parcels, of which, 1,406 parcels have conditions of physical blight, 33 buildings with a vacancy rate of 9.9 percent of higher, 258 parcels with reports of environmental contamination.

Introduction
The City of Stockton and the Housing Authority of San Joaquin County (Housing Authority) maintain a strong partnership built on the common goal and priority of providing affordable housing opportunities for Stockton’s low-income residents and improving the quality of life for residents. The Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin (HACSJ) is the largest affordable housing property manager of multi-family and single household public housing units for lower income people in San Joaquin County.
According to the HACSJ 2023 PHA Plan, the HACSJ currently operates 6,166 subsidized housing units composed of 1,001 public housing units and 5,165 housing choice vouchers.
Through the use of Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) funds, the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) is developing a Regional Housing Trust Fund (RHTF) Feasibility Study to explore the creation of a Local Housing Trust Fund. The City and other local partners, including HACSJ, are monitoring and engaging in the process, which is expected to conclude in December 2023. Pending the results of the Study, the City will explore the use of various sources, including the State of California’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), to ensure continuous funding availability for affordable housing for years to come.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing In January 2024, the City issued an affordable housing NOFA to which affordable housing developers may apply to address affordable housing needs including public housing.
In addition, the Housing Authority’s Sierra Vista Phase III housing project, will consist of public housing and project-based vouchers with 73 units. The Housing Authority will continue to seek funding sources to replace aging housing stock at the public housing sites with new affordable housing units.
The Housing Authority’s Annual Plan defines the following goals related to public housing:
• Expand the supply of assisted housing:
• Reduce the number of vacancies at each Public Housing site by decreasing maintenance turnaround time
• Improve curb appeal at all Public Housing sites.
• Replace aging/outdated housing stock.
• Increase public housing security improvements.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The City continues to maintain a partnership with the local Housing Authority to assist public housing EXHIBIT 1
819
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
46 residents to achieve homeownership.
The HACSJ administers a Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) Program. Public housing FSS participants are invited to attend a variety of workshops hosted by the Housing Authority including health fairs, homeownership fairs, and job fairs.
Under the Housing Authority’s Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program, public housing residents can participate in the program and receive referred to services and establish a family escrow savings account. The FSS program allows residents to establish an escrow savings account based on earned income. Contributions can be made to the escrow savings account monthly, as long as there is an increase in earned income during their participation in the FSS program. FSS participant have utilized the escrow savings account to accomplish homeownership goals, such as credit repair, credit counseling, and down-payment on a home. The Housing Authority will continue to collaborate with the City to provide supportive services for potential homeownership families.
According to a February 8, 2024 California Association of Realtors report, during the 4th quarter of 2023, only 22% of San Joaquin County households could afford to purchase a $546,100 median priced home which would need an annual income of $146,000. Relatively elevated interest rates and a shortage of home inventory continue to challenge first time homebuyers and their ability to purchase a home without being cost burdened. The City will continue to explore ways to address challenges faced by first time buyers including public housing residents.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
The Housing Authority of San Joaquin County is not designated as “troubled” by HUD.

47 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Most recent Point-in-Time (PIT) Count findings from a survey of homeless individuals conducted in January of 2022, found an estimated 1,370 homeless individuals in Stockton, of whom nearly 900 were unsheltered (65%).
The City holds a Board seat on the San Joaquin Continuum of Care #511, to investigate the needs and concerns of those experiencing homelessness, develop strategic approaches to prevent and end homelessness, and to prioritize investments in housing, programming, and capacity-building initiatives.
Jointly, the City, the County, and the CoC have developed and adopted a Regional Plan describing the County-wide Community Response Prevent and End Homelessness, and the City has created an Action Plan describing investments through 2027/2028, to address the City’s commitment to meeting the regional goals and objectives. The Regional Plan outlines the following three major objectives:
Major Objectives
1. Establish a Coordinated and Engaged Regional System
2. Increase Access and Reduce Barriers to Homeless Crisis Response Services
3. Ensure Households Experiencing Homelessness Have Access to Affordable and Sustainable Permanent Housing.
Locally, continues to invest state and federal funding toward affordable housing acquisition, development, or rehabilitation to serve low income and homeless individuals and families..
As part of the HHAP 5 funding application, the City, County, and CoC are undergoing a homeless action planning process that will result in a regional approach and funding plan to address homelessness.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City provides support and strategic funding for a variety of activities to outreach to homeless persons, especially persons who are unsheltered, and assess their individual needs. This includes:
Stockton Police and Fire Departments partner with public and private organizations on a multi-agency Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) to ensure that homeless encampments are safe, to provide health care and behavioral health services, and to encourage individuals to move to shelter or connect with housing resources. Partners include County Behavioral Health services, Whole Person Care teams, Community Medical Centers, San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office, and County Public Health Services.
The City has a long-standing partnership with Community Medical Centers, including utilizing ARPA funds to implement a 3-year pilot project to provide an alternative response to non-emergency mental and behavioral health calls coming into the City dispatch. The pilot project was launched in November EXHIBIT 1
821
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
48 2022 and is a collaborative effort between CMC and Police, Fire, and the City Manager’s Office. While the “Mobile Crisis Intervention Response” project (MCIR) serves all Stockton residents, there is frequent intersectionality with unsheltered individuals (10% of calls). If the call involves someone who is experiencing homelessness or involves an encampment, it is automatically routed to CMC’s long-time operational Care Link homeless street medicine program.
The City Economic Development Department and Police Department partnered with Community Medical Centers and County Behavioral Health on the establishment of an Assessment and Respite Center for homeless individuals in need of mental health care, substance use disorder treatment, and a safe place to stay during assessment and initial treatment. The Economic Development Department provided strategic funding for the facility and Stockton Police provide ongoing referrals.
The City, in collaboration with the County and the CoC, is engaging in a Regional Homeless Action Planning process to conclude in March 2024. The process involves significant stakeholder feedback, including efforts to engage the public and individuals with lived experience of homelessness through public forums, focus groups, and feedback from the CoC’s Youth Advisory Board. The Plan will also incorporate recently collected survey data from 243 unsheltered individuals collected as part of an Unsheltered Encampment Outreach Study and corresponding Cost of Homelessness Survey completed in 2022.
The City of Stockton supports the activities of the CoC and actively participates in Point in Time (PIT) Count planning, data review, and analysis. PIT data are critical drivers of the planning and investments made by the City to address homelessness. For the 2024 PIT Count, the City matched investments made by regional partners to support robust data collection, mapping, and analysis. Unlike in previous years, the 2024 Count employed an observation-based method of enumerating all census tracts within the county, with an emphasis on outreach teams with lived experience guides and direct service program staff. An in-person representative survey was conducted during the two-week period immediately following the general street census and utilized persons with lived experience of homelessness and local service providers as surveyors. The approach supports targeted outreach efforts to ensure special populations are represented, including youth, families, and persons residing in encampments. School districts will for the first time in the County participate in collecting data on households meeting the HUD definition of homelessness. A separate and targeted count of young people experiencing homelessness in the County will also be conducted. Together, these efforts should result in a more accurate and standardized methodology, allowing for better comparisons year to year. The City also anticipates receiving Stockton-specific data that will help inform local policy and funding decisions.
All CoC meetings are open to the public and people with lived experiences in homelessness make up a portion of the Board and / or regularly attend meetings. The CoC is revising its committee structure, including reorganizing the Outreach committee. Once re-established, the City will participate in that committee.
Annually, the State estimates that only a handful of people served by the region’s street outreach projects are successfully placed into shelter or housing. Local stakeholders are confident this figure is an undercount and represents a data entry issue. Through funding investments in the HMIS, the City aims to increase the number of outreach organizations entering complete service and outcome data into HMIS. Improved data collection will facilitate better outreach service delivery.
EXHIBIT 1
822
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
49 The County, with City support, recently received Round 2 State Encampment Resolution Funds, for a multiagency collaborative project to engage one of the City’s largest and most dangerous encampments via outreach, service coordination, case management and housing stabilization services. This project builds on a recently funded non-congregate low-barrier shelter project described below, allowing immediate interim housing placements for encampment residents.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City relies upon a talented cadre of local program partners and their staff to provide emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons. Its primary role is to fund and monitor program operations to ensure programs are achieving overall objectives and having a positive impact as determined by changes to the measurable program goals.
Additionally, the City works with stakeholders and regional partners to prioritize the strategies/actions needed to meet objectives and achieve target goals. The City is currently focused on several major strategies pertaining to emergency shelter and transitional housing: 1) increase bed/unit capacity, 2) enhance operations, 3) secure additional program resources.
Increase Bed/Unit Capacity
Point in Time Count data show that there an insufficient number of shelter beds or emergency housing units for individuals and families. The biggest needs are for shelter beds for single women, people who are medically fragile, or otherwise vulnerable, and for families, including space that allow fathers to stay with their families. The City is currently pursuing projects to add over 300 beds through two major shelter expansion projects. Site development and construction is underway with the build-out of a low barrier Navigation Center and a low barrier non-congregate temporary shelter project called Pathways.
The newly designed shelter spaces, and associated program offerings, are anticipated by summer 2024 and fall/early winter 2024, respectively.
Enhance Operations
The City is working with local homeless service providers to implement programming geared toward housing navigation and intensive case management. In part, this is being accomplished with a shift from a model of night-by-night shelter operations to the creation and delivery of full service (24/7) navigation centers. The new shelter spaces mark an abrupt shift from congregate, dormitory style programs, to shelters that offer semi-private, and non-congregate private spaces for individuals, couples, and families, and more accommodations for people with mobility limitations or other serious and ongoing health care needs. In addition to the creation of more privacy, these shelter expansions are designed to accommodate pets and provide options to store personal possessions.
All shelters receiving city funds for operations will be asked to submit a five-year financial plan that describes anticipated revenues and expenditures and outlines how shelter staff will work with clients to address barriers to housing using the principles of Housing First. Plans must also include any agreements with partner agencies to address a broader range of health and safety needs of those who are homeless.
Shelter operations contracts include requirements on sheltering best practices and policies, operational benchmarks, oversight, monitoring, and reporting.
Secure Program Resources
The City continues to seek and procure additional state and regional funding to address homelessness.
EXHIBIT 1
823
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
50 In addition to federal CDBG and ESG resources, the City has been awarded four rounds of state Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) funds and is working in partnership with funded programs to help them develop the certifications and capacity to provide Medicare/Medicaid reimbursable services under the State’s CalAIM project.
In 2023, the City and County each contributed half of a $10.6M, three-year, low-barrier shelter operations subsidy to the City’s largest shelter operator. The City contributed HHAP, ARPA Contingency, and for the first time, a significant contribution of General Fund dollars to emergency shelter operations.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Federal regulations encourage providing homeless persons and households with housing as quickly as is possible. The City has adopted a Housing First approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness. The City funds programs across the entire homeless continuum from outreach and assessment, emergency shelter, transitional housing, and permanent housing (including new permanent housing and operating subsidies in affordable or supportive housing units).
Coordinated Entry System
Through non-federal funds, the City is making investments into the development and build-out of a county-wide Coordinated Entry System (CES). Through investments in the CES and HMIS, the City hopes to streamline processes and quickly move people into housing. The CES provides a “No Wrong Door” model; the CES Lead is also the County’s 2-1-1 information and referral service provider, and CES is integrated into the HMIS. Households are assessed and placed in a community queue according to vulnerability and need, including chronic homelessness, and then matched to Permanent Housing providers. The City participates in the CoC’s CES committee which is developing a set of measures to better understand how efficiently households are transitioning into permanent housing. Over the next several years there is strong interest in expanding the reach of the CES to include sheltering and interim housing programs. All homeless service partners that receive City funds are required to enter data into the HMIS, and if applicable, participate in CES.
Rapid Re-housing and Landlord Incentives
The City invests in programs to help people obtain housing quickly, increase self-sufficiency, and stay housed. By connecting people with a home, they are in a better position to address other challenges that may have led to their homelessness, such as obtaining employment or addressing substance abuse issues. This includes:
• Prior ESG and HHAP Round 1 funds have included significant investments in Rapid Rehousing solutions designed to help individuals and families quickly exit homelessness and return to permanent housing, including special efforts to re-vamp the region's Rapid Rehousing program by providing incentives to developers and landlords to participate in affordable housing programs, which is struggling in a tight rental market with a functionally EXHIBIT 1
824
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
51 0% vacancy rate. While there is about another year to spend down HHAP 1 funds, recipients have reported trouble spending funds as anticipated due to landlord reluctance to accept individuals and households deemed eligible for the program. Within San Joaquin County, the limited supply of Rapid Rehousing units is primarily reserved for families with children. In 2024, no programs proposed to implement an ESG-funded Rapid Rehousing program— rather those agencies proposed to focus on Prevention.
o $1,284,482.72 in HHAP Round 1 investments to fund short-term rental assistance and case management services and to incentivize new, private landlords to rent to persons with HC vouchers.
Transitional Housing
The City, CoC, and County recognize the additional need for Transitional Housing designed to provide homeless individuals, especially those experiencing chronic homelessness, with the interim stability and support to successfully move to and maintain permanent housing.
• The State Encampment Resolution Funds aim to engage 300 individuals, move up to 150 individuals into shelter, and move up to 54 individuals into permanent supportive housing, as well as create sustainable pathways from all encampments to permanent supportive housing by increasing the number of available housing units and “move-on” partnerships with other housing resources.
• Once the Pathways project construction is complete in fall/early winter 2024, the City will provide initial operations funds. Pathways will partner with affordable housing providers, the Housing Authority, and private landlords to develop exits out of homelessness.
Permanent Housing
The region has prioritized the acquisition and development of affordable housing solutions, including permanent housing projects for individuals experiencing homelessness. Nearly one-third of the City’s HHAP Round 1 and between 50 to 90 percent of the City's HHAP Rounds 2, 3, and 4 program funds are allocated towards permanent housing for the homeless. Across all sources of funds, the City’s Local Homeless Action plan proposed that upwards of 60% of homeless funds be invested in affordable housing development.
The City of Stockton, in partnership with the Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin and local community partners has applied for and been awarded funding for three Homekey projects to provide permanent housing for homeless individuals. These projects provide 128 units of permanent housing in Stockton for homeless individuals and families over the next two to three years. The City’s Homekey projects serve some of the most vulnerable populations, including one project focused on chronically homeless individuals and another serving at-risk families and transition-age youth, with 68 units funded through the HCV Project-Based Vouchers, including 11 ADA-compliant ground floor units and 7 units specially designed for residents with hearing and visual impairments.
Investments in affordable housing for homeless individuals is discussed above in section, AP-55.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, EXHIBIT 1
825
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
52 foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
The City is investing in programs designed to prevent low-income individuals and families from becoming homeless and developing solutions to prevent homelessness for those exiting institutions.
Specific examples include:
• Discharge Coordination: In partnership with local stakeholders and the County, the City is developing a multi-pronged strategy to address and prevent homelessness for vulnerable populations following discharge from institutional settings. Working in partnership with the County Health Department, local hospitals, the Medicare managed care health plans for the area, and local community homeless serving agencies, the CoC is developing a series of post- discharge options for people experiencing homelessness that will include two specialty care emergency shelters. Already, the County has broken ground on a dedicated homeless facility for people with serious behavioral health concerns and anticipates post-release referrals from the custody. The shelters will work in partnership with the Ready to Work program, a transitional housing and employment development program for formerly incarcerated men. Additionally, funding has been secured and planning is underway for the Pathways project that includes 46 recuperative care non-congregate shelter units under new State programs that will make on-site health coverage reimbursable services. The recuperative care program will operate under a registered guest shelter model, which will wrap housing navigation and health care services around adults discharged from an acute care setting (hospital or skilled nursing facility) to prevent a return to homelessness. Nearly 40% of the total units are planned to be ADA accessible.
• The City invests in fair housing programs that promote landlord / tenant mediations and prevent evictions.
CDBG funding is utilized for the City’s Emergency Repair Program which is a program that seeks to provide funding for repairs to single-family homes. This program advances the goal of preventing homelessness by funding emergency repairs that if not addressed, would make a housing unit uninhabitable.
• Federal ESG funds support these and other homeless assistance programs, including emergency shelter programs for single adults, families, youth, and victims of domestic violence. CDBG funds are used to reinforce safety-net programs for vulnerable individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, including several food assistance programs, housing counseling programs, and transition aged youth programs to curb homelessness for the young adult population exiting the foster care system. Additional CDBG resources target youth education and enrichment programs to meet the City’s objective of creating the best city to live, work, and raise a family. These opportunities enable parents to stay employed and pay rent with the knowledge that their children are safely engaged after school in programs. • Homeless Prevention: ESG resources are used to provide homeless prevention services through short- and/or medium-term rental assistance necessary to prevent an individual or family from moving into an emergency shelter (at risk of homelessness). The City also utilizes other state and local funding to address the homeless prevention needs. $341,001 in HHAP Round 1 funds for rent support programs focused primarily on short- and/or medium-term rental assistance necessary to prevent an individual or family from moving into an emergency shelter (at risk of EXHIBIT 1

53 homelessness). Additionally, $375,274 in HHAP Round 1 funds to provide coordinated supportive services to foster age youth ages 12-18 years old who are identified as Commercially Sexually Exploited Children or who are at risk of being trafficked. • Additionally, the City has partnered with several community-based organizations to provide tenant protections, representation, and renter rights information utilizing Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) funding. Lessons learned from that initiative are providing the framework for ongoing efforts to help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless and guiding the City's investment of State funds to make housing affordable for all members of the community. This includes State formula funding under the Local Permanent Housing Allocation and Homekey initiatives in which the City invests in developing affordable housing for low-income and homeless individuals and families.

54 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
It is often in the public interest for local governments to impose regulations concerning the scope and characteristics of development as a method for protecting public health and general welfare. However, government regulations, policies, and procedures can also act to constrain the development of otherwise desirable land uses. Regulations designating the type and location of housing, for example, can potentially constrain the ability of housing developers to provide higher-density housing that would be more affordable to lower income households. Similarly, building codes and other requirements can significantly increase the cost to develop housing, or make the development process so arduous as to discourage potential housing developers. California housing law requires that each jurisdiction include an analysis of governmental constraints to affordable housing development as a required component of the adopted General Plan Housing Element.
To address these challenges the City is:
•Updating the Housing Element of the General Plan, with a specific purpose and intent to reduce barriers to affordable housing; and
• Creating a Housing Action Plan, to serve as a toolbox for property owners and developers seeking quick guidance on allowable uses, special project areas, and founding resources.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
California has enacted several policies to improve the overall supply of housing throughout the State with specific efforts to increase the inventory of affordable housing. In addition to these State policies, the City of Stockton has recently completed a three-part series of zoning amendments removing further development barriers for affordable housing.
A number of strategies, action items, and metrics have been identified to achieve this objective, and the first step was to improve the development process to remove barriers to developing affordable housing, to streamline the processes, and make it more widely available. Many of these action items were achieved through a three-phase series of amendments to the general plan and zoning updates through the Land Use Inconsistency (LUI).
On July 12, 2022, the Stockton City Council approved the final phase of LUI updates. The update applied to the zoning map, zoning code, and General Plan Land Use Map to ensure consistency with other City documents and policies. The update was intended to strengthen the community vision, improve the clarity of Stockton’s regulations, provide additional development incentives, and establish tools that increase housing supply to meet demand. Some of the updates improve policies around increasing the EXHIBIT 1
828
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
55 housing supply and affordable housing, as outlined below:
• Consistency with Stockton updated 2040 General Plan standards: Updates to zoning districts allowing for more mixed use, housing, and higher density. Exemptions from development and land use approval requirements (includes certain fences and walls in residential zoning districts, interior remodeling, repairs and maintenance, utilities, and more). Updates to permit requirements by zoning districts.
• Amendments to comply with State law.
• Improvements to streamline the development review process: Creation of minor design review process for streamlined approvals.
• Affordable Housing and Density Bonus: The State Density Bonus provides up to 35% more density to developers. The Stockton Density Bonus has two tiers that can provide up to an additional 50% or 100% density bonus for eligible developments. • Parking incentives and deviations: Increases the infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists and includes additional parking deviations and revised parking standards to reduce the required parking for new development that meets certain criteria (thus reducing development costs). • Housing Typology: Clarifications for rooming and boarding houses, transitional and supportive housing, low-barrier navigation centers, and co-living increasing the zoning for allowance. • Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)Streamlined process to further the State’s goal to increase housing supply. Include Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU) as required by State law.
• Multi-Unit Residential: Creation of multi-unit residential housing typologies, including development standards for cottage courts, fourplexes, triplexes, and duplexes.
Pro-Housing Designation:
In April 2023, the City received a Pro-housing Designation from the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD), and now Stockton is one of eleven jurisdictions within California that has this designation. This designation was determined by the community's commitment to build more housing and adopting policies whose end goal is to increase housing production to help meet the state's goal of 2.5 million new homes over the next eight years, with at least one million serving the needs of low-income Californians. The Pro-housing Designation will allow the City to receive incentives such as additional points or other preferences in the scoring of competitive funding programs administered by the HCD and allow the City to be eligible for the Pro-housing Incentive Pilot Program with funding to help accelerate the City's affordable housing production.
The Economic Review Committee
Beyond these updates to the City's General Plan and Zoning, the City takes additional steps to support new development. The Economic Review Committee (ERC) provides additional guidance and assistance for development in Stockton. Coordinated through the Economic Development Department, the Committee is comprised of high-level staff from each of the permitting departments. The Committee will meet with project managers and review preliminary site plans, providing feedback and project EXHIBIT 1
829
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
56 requirements before the project is submitted for site plan/design review and building permits. This allows the project manager to be aware of and address the possible challenges to the project early in the development process. The ERC committee has assisted with the majority of recent affordable housing development projects to help developers navigate and understand the regulatory environment and entitlement process in California, meet additional building regulations based on funding sources, and provide additional access to local and state resources.

Introduction:
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will work in partnership with local non-profit and public service agencies to address the needs of the underserved populations in the City of Stockton. Traditionally, the City will supports local agencies to provide food assistance, youth services, shelter, affordable/fair housing services, and/or services for the homeless and vulnerable populations.
The City of Stockton is committed to reducing barriers for people experiencing homelessness to access the critical services they need. As part of the City’s overall strategy to address homelessness and affordable housing, any new funding provided by the City for interim housing must be “low barrier” and for interim and permanent housing must be “Housing First.” Through the City’s annual NOFA process, several organizations receive funding for projects and programs directly aimed toward addressing obstacles to meet underserved needs for the city’s most vulnerable populations. The City also participates in the CoC Shelter committee which is actively working to identify shelter best-practices and support area shelters with reducing barriers to entry.
Recognizing the need to build capacity in local nonprofits, especially for those that serve underserved communities, the City invested in a three-year nonprofit capacity building program funded through ARPA and administered by United Way. This innovative approach will better assist the City in responding to community need.
In order to make the City’s programs more accessible to historically underserved communities, the City also transitioned to an online application platform for its CDBG-funded programs. The platform allows applicants to apply for single-family rehab programs or small business assistance programs in their native language and be able to see the status, complete tasks, and communicate with the reviewing staff person via the online platform.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will leverage funds we receive with other resources and use our programs in conjunction with other city initiatives, including our Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Program. The City will continue to use its Notice of Funding Availability NOFA process to solicit eligible affordable housing projects to fund.
The City continues to pursue funding at the State level, including Homekey, Pro-housing Incentive Pilot Program, and the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) funds to advance affordable housing developments.
The City of Stockton seeks to continuously improve its programs and infrastructure to serve the community as best as possible through local, state, and federal partnerships. As one of the larger cities in California, the City of Stockton is a recipient of State of California Permanent Local Housing Allocation EXHIBIT 1
831
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
58 (PLHA) program funds designed to address affordable housing goals in Stockton. PLHA funds are being used to supplement CDBG and HOME funds to foster and maintain affordable housing units within the City. To date, the City has received $7,298,872 in PLHA funds representing awards for years 2019, 2020, and 2021.
PLHA funds will continue to be used to support affordable rental housing projects. Using PLHA, along with other local, state, and federal sources, the City of Stockton is strongly committed to increasing its affordable housing stock.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City continues to distribute lead-based paint hazard material to applicants of the Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Program. In addition, the City works with affordable housing developers to ensure lead-based paints are adequately being tested for and, if necessary, addressed through Operations and Maintenance plans.
The actions described in the Lead Based Paint Hazards section of the Consolidated Plan will be followed in the 2024-2025 program cycle. The City of Stockton becomes involved in lead-based paint hazard evaluation and reduction as a result of its implementation and operation of all Federally funded projects available to the residents of Stockton. This includes projects funded with CDBG, HOME, and NSP funds. Housing units that will be recommended for rehabilitation will be inspected and if necessary, tested for lead-based paint hazards. Based on the test results, any identified hazards are remediated prior to unit occupancy. Included in the City’s HOME Policies and Procedures, it is the developer’s and/or property owner’s duty to distribute the “Renovate Right” Brochure entitled “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home” to the tenants and receive a signed acknowledgement form that the reading material was distributed. In the instance of a single family rehabilitation project, a City employee must distribute the material to the homeowner and collect a signed receipt that the material was received.
The City has complied with all Federal requirements related to prevention of lead-based paint poisoning as provided in the Residential Lead-Based Pain Hazard Act of 1992, also commonly referred to as Title X, Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City’s Consolidated Plan includes an Antipoverty Strategy. The activities in the City’s Antipoverty Strategy can be classified under two categories: Economic Development and Supportive Service Programs. The Consolidated Plan recognizes that in order for households to transition from unemployment or low-income positions to median income positions, there needs to be vocational training, resource management, and life skill training. The Plan also recognizes that while households are obtaining the training, the families will continue to need assistance in meeting their basic needs.
In these difficult economic conditions, the City’s Community Development Committee determined that allocating resources to those agencies that will provide some of the most basic services, such as food, EXHIBIT 1
832
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
59 youth services, and services to accommodate vulnerable populations such as women, the elderly, and transition age youth. was the best way to assist households.
Consistent with the City’s Antipoverty Strategy, the City proposes to fund the following programs:
• Two programs that will provide food assistance to homeless and low-income individuals; • Two programs that will provide temporary housing and wraparound services including, but not limited to: education assistance, workforce development training, and counseling to transition age youth.
• One program will offer emergency shelter for women and children. • Fund homelessness prevention activities which will help keep households in their homes.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Stockton Economic Development Department is the lead agency responsible for the development of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. The Economic Development Department is also the primary agency responsible for the administration and management of programs and projects covered by these Plans.
During the 2024-2025 Program Year the City will:
• Continue to work with private housing developers to expand the availability of affordable housing.
• Conduct Environmental Review Committee (ERC) meetings with housing developers to streamline the process of new developments.
• Continue ongoing efforts to update the grants management policies and procedures. • Continue to provide workshops and trainings to vendors and program applicants. • Implement improvements to the new streamlined reporting and invoicing system for subrecipients.
• Continue to update email lists to keep residents, business owners, and non-profits up to date on funding opportunities.
• Continue to participate in the San Joaquin County Continuum of Care Committee. • Continue implementation of the Housing Element and develop a Housing Action Plan and Neighborhood Action Plans for public review.
• Continue to work with affordable housing developers to ensure that their developments include the facilities to provide the services needed for the residents. • Continue to work with participants in the establishment of goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan to ensure measurable progress is made. • Update the website, providing handouts and program guidelines to keep the public informed. • Pursue training opportunities for staff.
• Continue collaborating with local service providers to provide technical assistance, as needed, to enhance local capacity as it relates to complying with the stringent ESG, CDBG, and HOME grant EXHIBIT 1
833
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
60 requirements.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City is an active partner with the San Joaquin County Continuum of Care (SJCoC), maintaining a seat on the Board and participating in numerous committees including: Strategic Planning, Data and HMIS, Shelter, Coordinated Entry, and the Point In Time Count. The City leverages the SJCoC platform to facilitate coordination between housing and social services agencies and is committing State and Federal funding to strengthen and enhance local system capacity in the areas of Coordinated Entry and in effective use of data to set, analyze and work towards the successful accomplishment of local performance measures.
Key areas of focus will include supporting the build out and implementation of the Coordinated Entry System and expansion of the Homeless Management Information System. The City is committed to supporting the continued success of the SJCoC and is:
• Allocating portions of the State’s HHAP grant toward the successful operations and growth of the CES and the HMIS.
• Incorporating participation in the CES into contract agreements for new affordable housing developments to ensure that housing created through state and federal allocations are utilizing the CES to make housing placements.
The City is also taking an active role in promoting a Housing First approach and has incorporated this requirement into HHAP contract agreements.
Finally, the City continues to work in close partnership with the local Housing Authority (HASJC) and nonprofit housing developers to expand affordable and permanent supportive housing opportunities.
Over $6 million in ARPA funding is dedicated as match funding for the development of permanent housing for homeless individuals.

64 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 91.220(l)(4)
1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment)
1. Initial Evaluations.
The sub-recipient must conduct an initial evaluation to determine the eligibility of each individual’s or family’s eligibility for ESG assistance and the amount and types of assistance the individual or family needs to regain stability in permanent housing.
2. Determining Program Participant Eligibility.
The following criteria shall be used to determine program participant eligibility for assistance under ESG:
• Income shall be annualized and calculated based on the standards for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8 Eligibility Standards); • Assessment and approval by an authorized program case manager; • Household income (adjusted by size) below 30% of area median income for prevention assistance; and
• Household must either be homeless (using the federal definition) or at risk of losing housing and show a reasonable expectation of becoming self-sufficient within three months.
Assistance will be provided to eligible households in the order in which they are interviewed. If a household is eligible and funds are available, they will receive assistance. All rapid re-housing clients must meet HUD’s homeless definition (24 CFR 576.2) – person(s) staying on the streets, in a shelter, or someone exiting an institution after a stay of 90 days or less and who resided in a shelter or on the streets before the institution. All prevention clients must be able to demonstrate at least two HUD defined risk factors and that except for this program, the household will become homeless.
2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.
The Continuum of Care, with the City as a funding partner, has developed a Coordinated Entry System (CES) for access to housing opportunities. The purpose of the CES is to connect the highest need, most vulnerable persons in San Joaquin County, to available housing and supportive services, using a Housing First model. The CES utilizes a “No Wrong Door” model and is integrated into the HMIS. Regardless of entry point into the system, households are given the same assessment and are then placed into a Community Queue. The CES Lead uses HMIS CES functionality to match clients in the Queue to open Permanent Housing and Transitional Housing projects.
The CoC CES Committee includes representation from at least one local ESG recipient. Each year, EXHIBIT 1
838
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
65 representatives from the CoC and the ESG recipient agencies will identify any changes to their written standards and share those with the CoC’s CES Committee for incorporation into the CES Policies and Procedures.
3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations) will be allocated.
The City of Stockton will implement the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program in accordance with The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act as amended by S.896 HEARTH Act of 2009, found at 24 CFR Part 576, to ensure eligible activities are selected and financially managed in accordance with local and federal requirements.
The City of Stockton competitively awards ESG funds through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to eligible organizations. The RFP process conducts a thorough project proposal underwriting process that includes but is not limited to an assessment of the applicant’s ability to comply with ESG grant management and regulatory requirements. The City of Stockton’s process for making sub-awards is as follows:
• Issue Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
• NOFA guidelines are released and an application workshop is held to review the NOFA guidelines and NOFA application. The application workshop is advertised through the city website, local publications, email lists, and the City’s social media platforms. • Staff reviews applications for eligibility, completeness, ESG requirements per Application Instructions, and consistency with the Consolidated Plan and 24 CFR Part 576. City staff also conducts an initial technical scoring of the applications that includes, but is not limited to:
organizational capacity, project timeliness, evaluation of past performance, collaboration and duplication of services, project feasibility, project budget and compliance with ESG matching requirements.
• A Community Development meeting is held for the purpose of eligible ESG applicants to present their project to the committee and for the committee to score the applications.
Staff scoring and CDC scoring are combined to inform the final funding recommendations to City Council.
• The draft Annual Action Plan is released for a 30-day public comment period prior to approval at a City Council public hearing.
• ESG funding recommendations are adopted when the Annual Action Plan is taken to City Council for approval.
• Action Plan is submitted to HUD
4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.
Planning for homeless services is largely conducted in conjunction with the Continuum of Care which currently includes several members who have lived experiences with homelessness who sit on EXHIBIT 1
839
Stockton CA 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
66 the Board of Directors or actively participate in workgroups and committees. Additionally, City staff participate in community discussion groups, listening sessions, and site visits to encampments and shelters to engage and consult with homeless individuals on proposed policies, program funding decisions, and service needs. Finally, program demonstration of paid staff and/or board members with lived experiences in homelessness is taken into consideration during grant review and funding considerations.
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.
As the largest city within the San Joaquin CoC area, the City of Stockton holds a seat on the CoC governing body and participates in consultation with the San Joaquin County and other participating agencies regarding the coordination of ESG funding. This includes the identification of performance standards and evaluation outcomes. City of Stockton specific ESG standards are established within each subrecipient grant agreement. From a big picture point of view, the City will use performance measures captured by the HMIS system to evaluate the outcomes of ESG assisted projects.
