MEETING DATE:

April
2, 2024

AGENDA ITEM:

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Accepting the Energy Savings Project as Complete and Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Record the Notice of Completion for the Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the General Fund from this item. The City financed this project in 2018 by entering into an Equipment Lease Purchase Agreement with Sterling National Bank.

The lease purchase agreement allows the City to lease the Equipment over 20 years and purchase it at any time during that duration for a price depending on the duration. The City will make annual lease payments which increase on an annual basis. The lease contains normal financing provisions in favor of the Bank and provides for indemnification by the City. Sterling immediately assigns its interest to its affiliate that holds its investments. The security for the transaction is the equipment and the escrowed proceeds until spent on the installation and acquisition of the Equipment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance, Enhance Environment

BACKGROUND:

On May 15, 2018, after a competitive selection process, City staff recommended, and the City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Program Development Agreement (PDA) with ENGIE Services for an integrated energy assessment to identify potential energy saving measures associated with City facilities and infrastructure. On August 21, 2018, ENGIE provided an update to the City Council regarding its findings and preliminary recommendations. On October 2, 2018, ENGIE provided a preview of the project scope, savings, and pro forma, pending receiving competitive financing proposals. The goal of the energy assessment is to define a project that will reduce City energy costs by using less energy and that will generate energy on site where possible.

STAFF REPORT:

The project added solar parking canopies, new LED interior lighting, more efficient heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units, LED streetlighting around the City and City Parking Lots, new windows for the west side of City Hall, and other minor efficiency improvements to City Facilities.

Engie Services U.S. Inc. has completed all the work specified in its contract with Suisun City and it is appropriate to accept the work as complete. Staff has prepared a notice of completion for this project along with the Resolution for Council to issue the notice of completion. If the City Council approves this Resolution, the Department of Public Works/Engineering Division will record the notice of completion with Solano County.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 2024 - ___: Accepting the Energy Savings Project as Complete and Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Record the Notice of Completion for the Project.

MEETING DATE:

AGENDA ITEM:

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Approving an Amendment to the Construction Agreement between Suisun City and Pacific Polymers, Inc.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the General Fund from this item. This amendment is for work that will be completed by the contractor at their cost.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance.

BACKGROUND:

On June 3, 2021, the City entered into a contract with Pacific Polymers, Inc. dba American Foam Experts to install a sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF) roof system on five City buildings, including the Harbor Theater, Joseph A. Nelson Community Center, Fire Station, City Hall and Police Department. In 2022, the contractor installed the foam roof systems at all five locations.

After installation, leaks were detected again at several locations. These leaks were especially pronounced at City Hall where interior damage occurred. The contractor was notified several times regarding these leaks. The leaks were addressed at the Harbor Theater and Community Center.

However, the leaks were not addressed at the City Hall. During this time, the City was aware that there were some issues with the City Hall pitch roofs, so we advertised a request for qualifications and proposals for architectural services for this project as well as some other City projects. During our architect’s investigation of the City Hall roofing systems, it was discovered that the SPF roofing system was not installed per the specifications. After which, the City contacted the contractor to ask that they explain the reason for not following the specifications. We met with the contractor and foam roof manufacturer several times after this discovery.

The contractor and the manufacturer stated that the SFP roofs above Finance and Administration were a “good product” and would provide the same quality and service as the specified roof repair and installation in the project specifications. The City found that this was not the case as there was significant and continual leaking about these locations. The City then consulted with our City Attorney on the City’s rights and recourse for this incorrect installation of the SPF roof system.

STAFF REPORT:

This project should have repaired most of the leaking that was occurring in the south wing (Finance front counter and Administration) of the City Hall. Instead, there is more leaking due to the incorrect repair and installation. The City and contractor negotiated a settlement in which the contractor will replace the current SPF roofing system with the one specified and complies with the specifications and drawings contained in the agreement.

Further, the twenty (20) year warranty and any applicable statute of limitations on claims relating to the City Hall roof shall begin anew upon the reinstallation of the SPF roofing system. All other obligations under the agreement shall remain in full force and effect per this agreement. Also, under this agreement the contract certifies that the roofs at the other four (4) buildings stated above were installed in compliance with the design specifications and drawings.

13 Included in this agreement is an expense reimbursement where the contractor will reimburse the City all costs incurred prior to this agreement.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024- ___: Approving an Amendment to the Construction Agreement between Suisun City and Pacific Polymers, Inc.

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL

MEETING DATE:

April
2, 2024

AGENDA ITEM:

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Execute a Fourth Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement on the City’s Behalf with AECOM Technical Services Inc. to Prepare an Environmental Impact Report for the Highway 12 Logistics Center Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The increased cost due to this budget amendment is $27,141, but there would be no fiscal impact to the General Fund. The total cost for retaining the firm AECOM Technical Services Inc. to prepare and complete and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and add critical tasks to the agreed-upon scope will be fully borne by the developer/applicant.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance; Develop Sustainable Economy; Enhance the Environment.

BACKGROUND:

On February 2, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-11. This resolution authorized the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with AECOM Technical Services Inc. to complete a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review for the Highway 12 Logistics Center Project totaling $329,703 (total includes contingency – 10%).

After the commencement of the environmental analysis, additional project tasks needed to be added to the project scope of work, on April 20, 2021, the City Council authorized the first amendment to the consultant’s contract increasing the total contract by an additional $52,945, bringing the total contract amount to $387,942 (total includes contingency – 10%).

In September 2021, a second amendment was authorized under the City Manager’s authority for $14,265 to study additional traffic intersections, increasing the contract amount to $402,207.

Subsequently, in November 2022 a third amendment was authorized by the City Council for an additional $69,560 to assess and expand the analysis for a reduced project scenario, which entailed a modified traffic analysis to compare project impacts against the planned project. This additional analysis increased the total budget to $471,767.

STAFF REPORT:

Since the initial contract approval, the applicant and consultant have been working with staff to complete the required environmental review. Work to date has included evaluating various project elements such as air quality, traffic, and biological conditions, including the release of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) and the receipt of official public comments on the document.

Over the past several months since the release of the environmental document to the public, the staff and consultant has been reviewing the comments and preparing for the release of a Final Environmental Impact Report to accompany the proposed entitlement requests for the project. To account for unforeseen analysis and tasks because of the release of the DEIR the consultant is looking to augment the current budget to cover the following tasks:

21 Additional time for regular project meetings (previous amendment covered meetings through April of 2024).

Additional level of effort for procedural, policy, land use, economic, and other topics that were included in responses to comments from the Solano Local Agency Formation Commission beyond topics that are related to potential environmental impacts under CEQA.

Additional level of effort to prepare Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations to support the Reduced Footprint Alternative.

Additional level of effort required to assess and adjust biological resources related mitigation measures to apply to the Reduced Footprint Alternative.

Additional time required for meetings, research, analysis, and reporting related to the use of GHG offsets.

Additional cost incurred related to the scheduling of work on the Final EIR.

Factoring the additional tasks to finalize the environmental review process, the recommended budget augmentation totals $27,141 which increases the total contract to $498,908 (excluding 10% contingencies).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024- ___: Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Execute a Fourth Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement on the City’s Behalf with AECOM Technical Services Inc. to Prepare an Environmental Impact Report for the Highway 12 Logistics Center Project.

AGENDA ITEM:

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Authorizing the Interim City Manager, or Appointed Designee, to Accept Grant Funds from the National Recreation and Park Association’s Youth Sports Equity Grant Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the city since the grant does not require any contribution or match.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance.

BACKGROUND:

In 2023, the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) released a ‘Request for Applications’ for its Youth Sports Equity Grant Program. The program would award five grants of $20,000 to agencies to implement strategies that advance equitable access to youth sports for youth of color, girls, LGBTQ+ youth, low income youth, and/or youth with disabilities.

The grant acknowledges that significant disparities in who has access to and benefits from sport opportunities exist for those above mentioned youth populations, with gaps continuing to widen.

Programs and strategies funded through the Youth Sports Equity Grant Program are intended to help reverse that trend.

The Recreation, Parks, and Marina (RPM) Department submitted a grant application in January 2024, proposing an adaptive sports program for youth with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.

STAFF REPORT:

In February 2024, The RPM Department was notified that their grant application was accepted and approved for funding.

The grant award will fund a series of ‘adaptive sports programs’ – a minimum of five 4-week series through June 2025 – for youth with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. A working collaboration with North Bay Regional Center (NBRC) will allow for NBRC clients to participate in the program for free. The grant award will fund the purchase of program materials, adaptive equipment, and increased staffing. The project will also support large scale staff trainings on working with youth with disabilities and certifications in adaptive recreation and sports programming, as well as participation in relevant conferences, such as the American Therapeutic Recreation Association and Move United Conferences.

The project is not just about creating much needed sport programming for an underserved population; it is an opportunity to create a City-wide culture that respects, acknowledges, and adapts to the challenges that youth with disabilities and their families face.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024- ___: Authorizing the Interim City Manager, or Appointed Designee, to Accept Grant Funds from the National Recreation and Park Association’s Youth Sports Equity Grant Program. 27 DOCUMENTS ATTACHED:

AGENDA ITEM:

Council Consideration for Continuation of Shelter Solano Memorandum of Understanding (MOU):
a
.

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Continue the MOU with Shelter Solano for up to Five Shelter Beds for the Remainder of Fiscal Year 2023-24.
b
.

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Adopting the 5th Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution No. 2023-88 to Reallocate Budget to Continuously fund Homeless Shelter Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact in the current budget. The cost for continued sponsorship of shelter beds for the remainder of the year estimated at $57,000 will be covered by reallocating the unused adopted budget under ARPA and General Fund.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance, Section 4.7 – Improve productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, customer service and citizen satisfaction in all areas of municipal organization.

BACKGROUND:

Suisun City has previously sponsored shelter beds through Shelter Solano to ensure city staff can connect homeless individuals in Suisun City with shelter services. Sponsoring shelter beds also assists with staff’s ability to conduct encampment abatements and clean ups within the guidelines of the Martin v Boise, Ninth Circuit Court decision.

Shelter Solano provides “wrap around” services with the goal of assisting homeless individuals in becoming self-sufficient. Suisun City has been sponsoring two shelter beds at Shelter Solano since February of 2021. During the FY23-24 budget, Suisun City entered into an MOU with Shelter Solano sponsoring two shelter beds for the fiscal year at a cost of $68,400.

In total, eight homeless individuals have been sheltered Since July 1, 2023, at different times throughout the fiscal year, and the Suisun City Police Department has responded to a total of 251 homeless encampment related calls where staff were able to offer assistance to the homeless in as many instances.

Additionally, PD staff were able to request some of our homeless remove their encampments more than 250 separate times after they refused shelter services during that same timeframe. This ability to offer shelter services is essential to continue assisting homeless individuals while also conducting cleanups of homeless encampments that create refuse and other unsafe conditions in our public areas.

STAFF REPORT:

During FY23/24, Suisun City entered into an MOU with Shelter Solano to retain access to two shelter beds for the entire fiscal year. This is a total of 730 “bed nights” for the year.

Because Suisun City had unused “bed nights” in previous years and was seeing an occasional need to house more than two homeless individuals at a time, Shelter Solano altered their business model to allow Suisun City to access a total of 730 “bed nights” in FY23/24 without capping the access to only two beds at a time. However, the MOU does note that any additional bed usage would cost the city $2,850 for one bed per month. At one point during FY23/24, Suisun City was assisting a total of seven 31 people at the same time through access to these shelter beds.

During the regular City Council meeting on March 19, 2024, staff advised the City Council that Suisun City had exhausted its 730 “bed nights” going into the month of March 2024. Staff also reported there were currently five individuals referred by Suisun City staff receiving shelter services. Providing shelter for up to five individuals will cost the city $14,250 a month (5@$2,850 per mo.) or $57,000 for the remainder of the fiscal year. This cost could be reduced if there are discharges from shelter and the city does not refer any new individuals to shelter under the MOU.

The City Council provided direction at the March 19, 2024, meeting for staff to continue sponsoring up to five beds at any one time until the end of FY23/24 at a potential cost to the city of no more than $57,000.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council adopt:
a

Resolution No. 2024-___: Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Continue the MOU with Shelter Solano for up to Five Shelter Beds for the Remainder of Fiscal Year 2023-24. b

Noah Rumbaoa’s email asked council to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission decision stating the project will help improve existing affordable housing and will help meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation.

James Berg agrees with previous speakers especially the presentation of evidence, city owns property and the longer we wait the less a project will be done.

Michael Zeiss wants to make sure we understand options; attorney said this was a de novo review so is it not the case that the council can change the conditions of the approval already established; one of the residents request was to have the buildings turned 90 degree angle.

Kathy Caeser, former city Housing Manager, spoke in favor of the project, the city had done several things to try to stop the settling of the buildings on Almond Street; on 3 or 4 occasions the city has been in negotiations with other developers to rehab that property but for various reasons fell through; the residents with a two-story residence will also have the ability to look over into the proposed property.

48 Ruth Forney proposed moving forward with this project; Mr. Nojoomi’s heart is with this city; the longer we wait the more expensive a project on this property will be; need to more forward and keep our city moving.

There being no further comments Mayor Hernandez closed the Public Hearing.

Camran Nojoomi commented that they did explore the flipping of the buildings but soil conditions, ADA requirements, left no parking, funding source restrictions made it not feasible.

Michelle Chavez commented she was glad to see this item on the agenda; spoke on notification, prevention, awareness, education for public.

Mike Zeiss commented that we need to revisit this item; protecting the entire waterfront is only one option; another option is that we write off large portions of the city and never develop those areas; need community input.

Anita Skinner asked how does the sea level rise affect the catch basin behind Whispering Bay Lane, McCoy Creek and other basins?

49 Vice Mayor Washington feels this should be a workshop and not an agenda item; look at infrastructure needs and funding and couple that with community partners; look at federal funding just released.

Council Member Dawson commented on the CCDEA economic climate resilience grant funding opportunities; currently serves on a sub-regional committee between Napa and Sonoma for SURF and they just released a funding survey on what projects cities would like to see done and will forward that survey to Mr. Bermudez.

Mayor Hernandez stated it was Sustainable Solano that did the workshop and they plan to do another this summer; reports from Economic and Climate Committee, as well as Director Vue on infrastructure pieces that can be applied as policies.

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL

MEETING DATE:

April
2, 2024

AGENDA ITEM:

Council Consideration of Resolution No. 2024-___: Amending Elected City Clerk's Compensation and Benefits.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There would be an immediate negative fiscal impact to the General Fund equivalent to the $100 per month increase to the City Clerk’s salary through September 2024. In 2025 it would add just over $2,200 to the City’s budget.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance.

BACKGROUND:

The Suisun City Municipal Code Section 12.20.010 set the City Clerk salary at $100 per month in 1986, and provided for future salary increases to be set by resolution of the City Council.

This procedure complies with current state law. In June 2021, due to extreme budget constraints at the time, the City Council resolved to reduce the City Clerk’s salary and vehicle allowance beginning in November 2024 (See Resolution 2021-50).

Currently, the City Clerk salary is set at $416 per month. Pursuant to the June 2021 Resolution 2021-50, at the end of the City Clerk’s current term the City Clerk’s salary would be reduced to 50% of the salary for a City Councilmember, which results in a reduction of the City Clerk’s compensation to $327.43.

Additionally, the City Clerk’s current $100 per month vehicle allowance was set to be eliminated.

Instead, the City Clerk would become eligible for mileage reimbursement.

The proposed resolution will reverse the salary decrease and the elimination of the vehicle allowance and will instead increase the City Clerk’s current salary by $100 per month, from $416 to $516 per month, beginning immediately. Otherwise, Resolution 2021-50 remains unchanged.

STAFF REPORT:

Compensation for elected City Clerks of general law cities, which includes salary, healthcare benefits, and expense reimbursements, is governed by Title 4, Division 3, Part 1 of the Government Code, starting with Section 36514.5, which allows for the following changes:

Salary
: The City Clerk’s compensation is currently set at $416 per month. With no action taken, the City Clerk’s salary will be reduced to 50% of the salary for City Councilmembers in November 2024, pursuant to the June 2021 Resolution 2021-50 of the City Council. Resolution 2021-50 also set Councilmember salaries at $654.86 per month. Thus, the City Clerk’s salary would drop from $516.00 per month to $327.43 per month. In light of the time commitment, and the experience and expertise the City Clerk brings to the position, an increase of $100 per month to the City Clerk salary is warranted, increasing the City Clerk’s salary from $416 per month to $516 per month.

Vehicle Allowance
: With no action taken, the City Clerk’s current $100 per month vehicle allowance will also be eliminated in November 2024 by the June 2021 Resolution 2021-50 of the City Council and replaced with standard milage reimbursement. In light of the time commitment, and the experience and expertise the City Clerk brings to the position, the City Clerk’s current vehicle allowance of $100 per 57 month should remain in place, rather than being eliminated in November 2024.

Timing of Changes
: State law, under Government Code Section 36517, specifically states that “[t]he city clerk . . . shall receive, at stated times, a compensation fixed by ordinance or resolution.” This permits the City Council to pass this resolution, thereby changing the compensation of the City Clerk immediately.

All other aspects of Resolution 2021-50 would remain in full force and effect.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2024- ___: Amending Elected City Clerk's Compensation and Benefits.

WHEREAS, changes to the elected City Clerk’s salary and benefits may be made either by ordinance or resolution of the City Council per Government Code Section 36517; and WHEREAS, Suisun City most recently set the City Clerk’s salary, vehicle allowance, and medical insurance benefits by Resolution 2021-50, during the regular meeting of the City Council on June 1, 2021.

WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adjust the current City Clerk’s salary by immediately increasing the City Clerk’s salary of $416 by $100 per month to $516 per month, thereby cancelling the reduction previously set to become effective in November 2024; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to cancel the change in the City Clerk’s vehicle allowance set to become effective in November 2024, and rather retain the current vehicle allowance of $100 per month.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to make the following changes to the elected City Clerk’s official compensation and benefits, as allowed by resolution of the City Council of Suisun City:

1. Salary: The City Clerk’s salary is to increase immediately by $100 per month to $516 per month. The reduction to the City Clerk’s salary set forth in Resolution 2021-50 to become effective in November 2024 is hereby overturned.
