AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
MEETING DATE:
June
4, 2024
AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Collaborative Stakeholder Structure Agreement for the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There would be no impact to the General Fund from entering into this agreement for the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project (Project). The City will receive $25,000 from this collaborative Project to cover costs associated with the City’s participation in this Project.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance and Enhance the Environment.
BACKGROUND:
In December 2023, the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) was awarded $601,113 in grant funds through the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) Regional Resiliency Planning and Implementation Grant program. Through regional discussions, the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project was created. The Agreement before you tonight are between FSSD, Solano County, the City of Suisun City, and the Greenbelt Alliance. FSSD has been able to allocate $200,000 from their larger grant award to support the Project. FSSD will act as the Lead Agency on the Project.
STAFF REPORT:
This Project fosters collaboration between multiple stakeholders along with community engagement to identify priority projects aimed at reducing risks to critical infrastructure and communities from sea level rise. The City benefits by participating in the Project as it furthers the City’s goals to work in partnership with federal, state, and local agencies to improve flood control, and drainage, and to reduce the risk to critical infrastructure in the county and within Suisun City.
This Project seeks to identify primarily nature-based solutions that will deliver enhanced habitat, migration corridors, and healthier ecosystem services for the area’s fish and wildlife. Through further enhancement of the Suisun Marsh the Project will benefit more than 10% of the remaining natural wetlands in California, in an area that provides essential habitat for hundreds of species along the Pacific Flyway. This will be accomplished through building resilience to coastal flooding and sea level rise impacts by engaging multi-stakeholders and multiple jurisdictions in a collaboration to perform adaption planning and prioritization process to increase protection and stewardship of the wetlands and habitat in the Suisun Marsh and the bayshore area. It will set local and regional precedent for how local residents and government agencies work together to identify and prioritize nature-based adaptation projects to reduce coastal hazard risk through approaches that will bolster the health and long-term vitality of Solano County’s coastal ecosystem. See Attachment No. 2 for a copy of the Agreement which contains further Project details on the Projects goals and objectives.

Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project Proposal (“Proposal”) 21
Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District - Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project
Submitted to CA Gov. OPR - Regional Resilience Planning & Implementation Grant Program - Regional Resilience Grant Program (2023) - Main Application on Tue, Aug 29, 2023 3:15 PM Project Region
Describe The Project's Region
The project is in Solano County within the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board’s boundary, including the bayshore stretching between the City of Vallejo and the eastern boundary of the Suisun Marsh. This area includes critical utility and transportation infrastructure, including the Travis Air Force Base, and socially vulnerable communities that will face major threats as a result of sea level rise, flooding, and wildfire impacts to the area. This project will identify potential structural and non-structural adaptation solutions (including green, green-gray, and gray infrastructure alternatives) to reduce flood and sea level rise risk to critical infrastructure and built assets like the Amtrak Capitol Corridor, Interstate Highway 80, State Route 12, the Travis Air Force Base, and low-lying water, stormwater, and sewer utilities. Identified solutions will also seek to deliver enhanced habitat, migration corridors, and healthier ecosystem services for the area’s fish and wildlife. By further enhancing the Suisun Marsh, the largest contiguous brackish water marsh remaining on the west coast of North America, this project will benefit more than 10 percent of the remaining natural wetlands in California, in an area that provides essential habitat for hundreds of species along the Pacific Flyway.

Project Description. The Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project will build resilience to coastal flooding and sea level rise impacts by engaging a multi-stakeholder, multi-jurisdictional collaboration of diverse actors and the wider community in an adaptation planning and prioritization process to increase protection and stewardship of wetlands and habitat in the Suisun Marsh and the bayshore.
This project will set a local and regional precedent for how local residents and government agencies work together to identify and prioritize nature-based adaptation projects to reduce coastal hazard risks to the area’s most vulnerable communities and vital assets through approaches that will bolster the health and long-term vitality of Solano County’s coastal ecosystems.
Example quotes and links to local, regional, and state plans, programs, and policies are included below to demonstrate alignment with this project's activities and objectives.
Who the project serves. The communities where the project will take place include 4 incorporated cities (Vallejo, Fairfield, Suisun City, and Benicia) and 4 unincorporated communities (Birds Landing, Cordelia, Collinsville, Green Valley). Approximately 70% of Solano County’s population live within the project area boundary, meaning that this effort aims to build the adaptation capacity and future stewardship opportunities for approximately 330,000 residents with the potential to benefit almost 56,000 people living in designated Disadvantaged Communities. The California Senate Bill (SB) 535 Disadvantaged Communities (SB 535 DAC) Census Tracts (population) within the project area include: 6095253500 (10,676), 6095252402 (5,549), 6095252502 (2,106), 6095250801 (4,135), 6095250701 (3,529), 6095251000 (2,654), 6095250900 (2,654), 6095251200 (3,663), 6095251500 (4,326), 6095251600 (2,580), 6095251802 (2,770), 6095251901 (5,119), 6095251902 (6,173).
The project will directly engage and benefit people living in the Solano Bayshore Region by improving long-term planning and preparedness for sea level rise, particularly in the cities of Fairfield, Vallejo, and Suisun City, that are predicted to experience severe consequences from sea level rise in the coming years and decades. In addition to residents, the project will improve resiliency planning and coordination within multiple local, regional, and county government and non-government agencies identifying those locations with shared infrastructure vulnerabilities where coordinated planning and project development can leverage cost and coordination efficiencies. Community partners are both part of and leading the project team receiving funding through the grant. In addition to direct stipends to individual participants from disadvantaged communities, a sub-grant program will be available to enable community partner participation. 23
Expected project outcomes. The Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project will initiate a collaborative adaptation planning process to develop a Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Analysis and Action Plan that identifies nature-based solutions to climate hazards impacting the project area. Initially focusing on sea level rise and flooding, this work will build on past studies to further investigate the feasibility of nature-based solutions like living levees and wetland migration areas, to both conserve and/or restore ecosystems while reducing flood risks. The project outcomes include:
Outcome 1: Diverse stakeholder collaboration. Engage the existing ‘Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable’—made up of key local partners representing public agencies, community members, non-profits, and academic institutions—to serve as a project advisory board and enable coordination across key agencies, representing multiple interests and diverse audiences. Work with local communities to evaluate different options for nature-based coastal adaptation projects through an equity lens while optimizing benefits to marsh wildlife and ecosystem health.
Outcome 2: Education & community engagement. Establish ‘Community Working Groups’ and a ‘Community Sub-Grant Program’ to bolster public awareness of climate threats and build local capacity for planning nature-based solutions to climate impacts, including community development of evaluation criteria for selecting projects. Communities include 4 incorporated cities and 4 unincorporated communities, which together include 13 state-designated disadvantaged census tracts.
Outcome 3: Identify sea level rise vulnerabilities. Improve upon existing studies with comprehensive and inclusive assessments to understand how sea level rise and flooding will affect local residents, businesses, natural, modified and managed wildlife resources, critical infrastructure, and delivery of essential community services.
Outcome 4: Identify nature-based solution pipeline projects. With the Community Working Groups and the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable, identify and prioritize multi-benefit adaptation strategies that address vulnerabilities and improve ecosystem and habitat health, with recommendations to overcome project implementation hurdles, including a feasibility analysis to provide long-term funding through creating of a Climate Resiliency District.
Key Project Deliverable: Through the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable, Community Working Groups and Community Sub-Grants, the project team will produce a Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Action Plan that equitably identifies six (6) high priority nature-based solution project concepts.

The project aligns with activities and objectives within local, regional, state and national plans, programs, and policies.
At the local level, in 2011 Solano County adopted the Climate Action Plan and Sea Level Rise Strategic Program. The 2011 Sea Level Rise Action Plan includes recommendations and next steps the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable is pursuing and collaboratively working to find funding to address, specifically: (1) updating the identified sea level rise planning area with new projections (Figure 21), (2) ground truthing and assessing vulnerability and risk with high resolution topography and bathymetry (The Next Steps in Table 19. ‘Adaptation Actions for Vulnerable Shoreline Uses’), (3) collaborating regionally for sea level rise planning (pg 4-14).County Planning is currently updating the County’s General Plan based on recent legislation (SB379, SB1035, and others) focusing on climate change adaptation and resilience requirements.
Also at the local level, a planning effort is currently underway for the Military Installation Resilience Review (MIRR) Program for Travis Air Force Base to identify the risks, hazards, and vulnerabilities 25
of the region’s infrastructure which supports Travis Air Force Base. The project described in this proposal is complementary to these efforts and will ensure a more comprehensive community- based approach to shoreline adaptation that prioritizes ecosystem restoration and conservation while the MIRR effort is primarily focused on adapting gray infrastructure. Representatives from the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable are also participating in the MIRR which will further ensure consistency between these efforts.
Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District’s Resilient & Green Master Plan also identifies a diversity of multi- benefit and nature-based projects that promote sustainability, equity, and climate resilience aligned with future development in the project area.
In addition City specific Climate Action Plans, for example in Suisun City and Vallejo, and the Solano County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan call for municipal participation in regional climate change adaptation efforts like this project.
At the regional level this project supports goals identified in the 2022 San Francisco Estuary Blueprint (Comprehensive Conservation and Management Strategy Plan - CCMP) for resilience planning, adaptation implementation, wetland health, and equitable access. Including specific Estuary Blueprint Objectives to (1) "Increase resiliency of communities at risk from climate change impacts while promoting and protecting natural resources" and (2) "Promote integrated, coordinated, and multi-benefit approaches to increasing resilience" and Actions to (1) "Plan for increased climate resilience that incorporates natural resource protection" and (2) "Overcome challenges to accelerate implementation of climate adaptation projects that prioritize natural and nature-based strategies".
The project directly supports three of the five critical recommended strategies from the regional San Francisco Baylands Goals Update (2015), including ‘Increasing coordination among baylands stakeholders’, ‘Creating plans that factor in ecological outcomes’, ‘Engaging the citizenry’.
Greenbelt Alliance identified Fairfield-Suisun as a priority Resiliency Hotspot (2023) through an in- depth, data-driven, and community-informed process. https://www.greenbelt.org/hotspots/ At the state level, the project supports the ‘State Agency Sea-Level Rise Action Plan for California’ (2022) through consistency with the seven principles to “guide unified, effective action toward sea level rise resilience” and the long-term goals of the Action Plan, specifically: (1) by funding an adaptation plan for the Solano Bayshore region, (2) with the goal of leading to project implementation, (3) including pathways to resiliency to 3.5’ by 2050 and 6.0’ by 2100, (4) integrating and prioritizing equity and social justice, and (5) prioritizing nature-based solutions as feasible (pgs.6-8).
At the national level, the project supports the implementation of nature-based shoreline adaptation solutions, aligned with EPA Strategic Plan (2022) Goal 1 (Tackle the Climate Crisis), and Objective 1.2 (Accelerate Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change Impacts).Collaboration with projects working to improve the resilience of underserved communities contributes to EPA Strategic Plan Goal 2 (Take Decisive Action to Advance Environmental Justice and Civil Rights), and Objective
2.1 (Promote Environmental Justice and Civil Rights at the Federal, Tribal, State, and Local Levels). 26
Community Partnership, Needs & Priorities
Briefly And Clearly Describe (1) What The Community’s Needs And Priorities Are, (2) Who Identified The Community’s Needs And Priorities And How, (3) How The Community’s Needs And Priorities Informed The Project Design, And (4) The Project’s Community Engagement And Partnership Plan.
What the community’s needs and priorities are. With input from diverse multi-stakeholder representatives in the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable, the following community priorities were identified and adopted in the group's shared Charter:
1. Ensure that vulnerable communities are prioritized in project implementation
2. Build capacity for community and organizations to plan and implement adaptation projects
3. Improve the health of the Suisun Marsh and San Francisco Bay and seek to incorporate nature-based solutions in all projects
The project considers and plans to address community inequities while building resilience in built, natural and social systems by incorporating Community Outreach (Task 1) and Equitable Engagement (Task 2) as foundational elements of the proposed project. This project will also identify potential structural and non-structural adaptation solutions (including green, green-gray, and gray infrastructure alternatives) to reduce flood and sea level rise risk to critical infrastructure and built assets like the Amtrak Capitol Corridor, Interstate Highway 80, State Route 12, the Travis Air Force Base, and low-lying stormwater and sewer utilities. Identified solutions will also seek to deliver enhanced habitat, migration corridors, and healthier ecosystem services for the area’s fish and wildlife. The final plan, produced with robust community input, will feature six (6) priority nature-based solution project concepts that prioritize public access to nature, especially for getting youth outdoors, and increasing resilience of surrounding socially vulnerable populations.
Who identified the community’s needs and priorities and how. The project was identified as a priority by the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable, which collaboratively identified the proposed goals, activities, tasks, and deliverables described in this proposal. Our Roundtable project team includes key partners or stakeholders that will be engaged in the project and represent over 12 entities with the potential to equitably engage and benefit thousands of households in historically disadvantaged and marginalized communities in Solano County. Our team includes:
Cities: City of Suisun City, City of Vallejo, City of Fairfield; Not-for-profits: Sustainable Solano, Greenbelt Alliance, Solano Land Trust; Wastewater Providers: Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District, Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District; Resource Managers: Solano Resource Conservation District, Suisun Resource Conservation District; County: Solano County, Solano Transportation Authority; Citizens and Elected Officials; State and Regional Organizations/Agencies: Bay Conservation Development Commission, San Francisco Estuary Institute.
The Roundtable has met monthly since November 2022 with the purpose of learning about each other's work, brainstorming and developing potential collaboration ideas, and jointly pursuing 27
funding opportunities. The community needs and priorities were identified through collective conversation, surveys, and jointly writing this Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project proposal.
How the community’s needs and priorities informed the project design. Three examples of work that significantly informed the project design include the San Francisco Bay Shoreline Adaptation Atlas (2019) that identified nature-based adaptation opportunities in the project area. A Solano Land Trust analysis identified priority areas for providing equitable access to the outdoors (2023) within the project area. And finally, a Greenbelt Alliance Resiliency Hotspot analysis (2023), identified parts of our project area that stand to lose the most in the face of sea level rise related flooding. These three needs and priorities - for nature-based adaptation solutions, equitable access to the outdoors, and sea level rise resiliency - were foundational to the project design.
This project will engage community voices in project development and implementation - not just those involved in the community partnership structure - by establishing Community Working Groups with direct decision-making authority, hosting Community Meetings, conducting resident surveys, launching a website and social media campaign to reach diverse audiences across the project area to provide input on the plan development.
Solano County is one of the last counties in the 9 county San Francisco Bay Area to conduct a comprehensive Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Analysis and Adaptation Action Plan. The community we have engaged with so far, strongly supports the proposed efforts.
The project’s community engagement and partnership plan. Proposed Tasks 1 and 2 of this project will substantially expand upon and initiate a community engagement process to refine, update, and revise as necessary the community needs and priorities and outline the project’s community engagement and partnership plan.
TASK 1. COMMUNITY OUTREACH will increase equitable access of information to the diverse communities in the project area by making written, social media, and website materials available in Tagalog, Spanish, and English. Subtasks include:
● Launching a ‘Solano County Sea Level Rise Resilience Initiative’ with a shared website featuring articles from local journalists and a portal to access shared data sets and knowledge products;
● Conducting a Social Media Campaign, with outreach via instagram, facebook, and Nextdoor over the 2-year grant period, led by community partner Greenbelt Alliance; ● Hosting quarterly Community Meetings, rotating between each of the 4 cities and unincorporated areas within the project area (Vallejo, Suisun City, Benicia, and Fairfield), with honorariums for participants (10 Community Meetings Total); and ● Convening and facilitating the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable as a Technical Advisory Group to oversee and advise on project activities. ● Online survey distributed to community members to identify community concerns and priorities for infrastructure adaptation.
28
TASK 2. EQUITABLE ENGAGEMENT will create a diversity of pathways for community members in disadvantaged communities and youth, often underrepresented in infrastructure planning processes, to actively engage in decision making by voting on specific aspects of project and policy development details. Subtasks include:
● Convening two Community Workgroups within Disadvantaged Communities across the project area, with honorariums for participants. Workgroup activities will include collaboratively defining vulnerability assessment and action plan goals, contributing to the prioritization framework, and commenting on nature-based solution project designs; and ● Engaging middle and high school age youth through a Youth Science Program led by community partners at the Solano Resource Conservation District and Sustainable Solano.
The program will include youth internships, field trips, and in-class curriculum about sea level rise and resiliency. Youth participants will have the opportunity to vote on specific aspects of project and policy development details.

Will Your Application Include An Optional Community Engagement + Partnership Plan? No. We described our community engagement + partnership efforts in our response to the "Community Partnership, Needs & Priorities" section.
Climate Risks and Multiple Benefits
Briefly And Clearly Describe (1) The Region's Greatest Climate Risks, (2) Whether The Application Addresses The Region's Greatest Climate Risks, (3) The Methods The Project Will Use To Address The Climate Risks, And (4) The Multiple Benefits The Project Offers.
The region’s greatest climate risks. In Solano County, climate change and resulting sea level rise is expected to increase occurrences and severity of storm events, causing additional coastal flooding and saltwater intrusion (SLRSP, 2011). In addition, rising temperatures may increase the likelihood of water and energy supply shortages, increased wildfire risk, habitat loss and species endangerment, declining agricultural production and changes in crops, and the distribution of diseases and other public health problems (SLRSP, 2011). The Bay Conservation and Development Commission conducted a bay-wide sea level rise vulnerability study (2020) and identified numerous locations and assets vulnerable to sea -level rise related flooding as early as 2030 in the project area. Impacts to transportation, vulnerable communities, future growth areas, and natural lands are predicted within two focus areas (Vallejo and Mare Island, Suisun City and Fairfield) and two areas of impact (Grizzly Island Road and I-680 at Oakridge Lane) within the project area (see attached Figure 3-3). Sea level rise and increasing salinity risk wetland loss and degradation, would not only increase flood risk to communities like Suisun City and other shoreline infrastructure, but also impact the Suisun Marsh’s ability to support a thriving ecosystem. 29
The region’s greatest climate risks align with all the risks the RRGP addresses (drought, flood, extreme heat events, increasing temperatures, sea level rise, wildfire).
Whether the application addresses the region’s greatest climate risks. The scope of the climate risks addressed by this project are focused on sea level rise related impacts, including linkages to freshwater and shallow groundwater flooding. The Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable representatives agreed that for our collective region sea level rise adaptation is the highest priority.
The project will maximize resilience by collaborating to identify multi-benefit projects that simultaneously address numerous transportation, community, development, and natural land vulnerabilities. Without this coordinated cross-sector effort, each agency and entity will implement independent projects without the benefit of addressing numerous shared sea level rise vulnerabilities through collective projects. Roundtable participants are optimistic that this collective approach is an efficient and cost-effective strategy that will result in addressing multiple, interconnected regional climate risks, beyond just sea level rise.
Methods the project will use to address the climate risks include building adaptive capacity in our community (Tasks 1 and 2) and producing a Sea Level Risk Vulnerability Assessment Report (Task 3, with assessment goals, maps and data sets to visualize the places, people, and ecosystems at risk in the Solano Bayshore project area) and a Sea Level Action Plan Report (Task 4, with assessment goals, suite of potential structural and non-structural solutions, project prioritization framework with up to 40 projects and/or policies identified.)
TASK 3. SEA LEVEL RISE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT improves upon existing studies to understand how sea level rise and flooding will affect local residents, businesses, natural, modified and managed wildlife resources, critical infrastructure, and delivery of essential community service.
Subtasks include:
● Collaboratively defining vulnerability assessment goals through the Roundtable, Community Meetings, Workgroups, and Youth Programming;
● Identifying and collecting data to create a uniform data set across the project area ● Adding Solano County to the San Francisco Estuary Institutes Future Sea-Level Rise and Shallow Groundwater Future Condition Mapping; and
● Conducting hazard mapping and asset exposure predictions, including producing exposure maps.
TASK 4. SEA LEVEL RISE ACTION PLAN to identify and prioritize multi-benefit adaptation strategies that address the vulnerabilities identified in Task 3. Project identification, prioritization, and concept design will be completed through a community co-design process with input from our diverse community engaged in Task 1 and Task 2. Subtasks include:
● Collaboratively defining action plan goals through the Roundtable, Community Meetings, Workgroups, and Youth Programming;
● Identifying a suite of adaptation solutions to address vulnerabilities, including green, green- gray, and gray infrastructure alternatives;
30
● Proposing place-based adaptation solutions with community input and buy-in, using a prioritization framework, and spanning both policy and project specific actions; ● Recommending project Funding/Financing pathways, including a climate resiliency district feasibility analysis, and strategies for Monitoring & Adaptive Management ● Of the identified solutions, develop six (6) Nature-based Solution Project Concepts to a 5% level of design development
The multiple benefits the project offers. The project is expected to benefit communities in the project area by identifying projects to increase long-term resiliency to sea level rise related impacts with projects that benefit both people and nature. Benefits to people will accrue through reduced risk from flooding and increased access to the outdoors. Benefits to nature are expected to accrue by prioritizing nature-based solutions, including in the Suisun Marsh which comprises approximately 85,000 acres of tidal marsh, managed wetlands, and waterways in southern Solano County and is the largest remaining wetland around San Francisco Bay and includes more than ten percent of California's remaining wetland area. The marsh is a wildlife habitat of nationwide importance and it plays an important role in providing wintering habitat for waterfowl of the Pacific Flyway. Because of its size and estuarine location, it supports a diversity of plant communities that provide habitat for a variety of fish and wildlife, including several rare and endangered species. By identifying multi- benefit nature-based adaptation projects expected to further enhance the Suisun Marsh, this project will benefit more than 10 percent of the remaining natural wetlands in California, in an area that provides essential habitat for more than 221 bird species, 45 mammal species, 16 different reptilian and amphibian species, and more than 40 fish species along the Pacific Flyway.
A prioritization framework of climate actions will be produced as part of the project, and will include benefits toward vulnerable communities.
One of the benefits from the proposed project approach is the convening of our cross-cutting collaboration with representatives with decision making authority over managing critical assets that span the water, sewer, storm, and transportation sectors, for example. That means that the process and outcomes will directly inform place-based capital and community planning and infrastructure investment decisions. Another benefit of the project is its direct engagement with traditionally underrepresented parts of our community to create equitable outcomes and progress towards environmental and social justice.

Regional Partnership
Briefly And Clearly Describe (1) The Regional Partnership Structure (I.E., Who Are The Applicants And Co-Applicants) And (2) Partner Responsibilities And Long-Term Goals.
The regional partnership structure. The project’s regional partnership structure is led by the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable (Roundtable). Participation in the Roundtable is open to any interested person or organization. Regular participants represent municipalities, community- based organizations, resource managers, citizens and elected officials, academic institutions, and regulatory agencies. The Roundtable includes more than two eligible entities whose combined jurisdiction enhances our effectiveness to respond to high priority climate risks in the region. For example, Sustainable Solano has been leading community outreach about climate resilience across our region which complements Roundtable representation of vulnerable water, storm, sewer, transportation infrastructure, from the Solano County Water Agency, Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District, Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District, and the Solano Transportation Authority.
Our current combination of regional partners reflect different interests in the community, for example land stewardship and agricultural interests represented by the Solano Land Trust and Solano Resource Conservation District, increasing regional resiliency to a changing climate represented by Greenbelt Alliance, academic research represented by University of California Davis, and local climate and environment planning and policy work represented by participation from the Mayor of Suisun City. Through the proposed tasks described in this proposal, we expect to further expand and enhance representation of our diverse community.
The regional partners collaborating on the project have a long track record of delivering essential services, engaging disadvantaged communities, and managing natural resources across the region.
For example, Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) is a wastewater special district serving approximately 150,000 customers in Central Solano County. The District safeguards public health and helps protect the Suisun Marsh. Over several decades, the District has evolved from a technical engineering entity to a valuable resource manager, partner in local economic development, and active member of the watershed community. The District has taken numerous actions to shift traditional thinking about the way wastewater utilities are run. The District’s Resilient & Green Master Plan continues this forward-thinking approach. City of Suisun City’s waterfront location has drawn people to this special place for centuries, but rising seas pose a near-term threat to the city itself, as well as to its neighboring wetland and marsh habitats. While the areas south of Highway 12 will have to contend with sea level rise sooner than the rest of the city, the impacts to transportation, services, and housing will send shocks throughout the region—affecting low-income and housing-insecure people the most. Sustainable Solano and Solano Resource Conservation District are well respected organizations with people and programs benefiting communities across Solano County. Greenbelt Alliance’s mission is to educate, advocate, and collaborate to ensure the Bay Area’s lands and communities are resilient to a changing climate. All our teams bring extensive and mission-driven experience to this effort.
Additional key partners and stakeholders will be engaged throughout the project to ensure long- term success and future implementation of the pipeline projects. The diverse perspectives and 34
interests represented in the Roundtable will facilitate engagement and capacity building with disadvantaged communities in our project area, through the specific strategies described in Tasks 1 and 2.
Partner responsibilities and long-term goals. The Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project demonstrates a high level of alignment among diverse management, restoration, and regulatory entities towards shared goals regarding more frequent and effective implementation of nature-based approaches to bayland climate resilience. Co-applicants include those providing match funding, in addition to those that will be directly involved in implementing the project. FSSD will manage the overall project as described in Work Plan Task 5.
TASK 5. PROJECT MANAGEMENT & COORDINATION contributes to achieving all four (4) of the project outcomes. The Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District will:
1. Provide technical oversight of the project and ensure the full scope of work is completed on- time and within the grant budget.
2. Implement quality assurance and quality control procedures for deliverables that are produced.
3. Convene regular progress calls (assume 1-hour meeting every 2 weeks at a minimum), and occasional in-person meetings with project partners, contractors and sub-grantees. These meetings will allow the team to review project progress, explore issues, identify resolutions, and provide recommendations regarding the project design.
4. Facilitate a project kickoff meeting to review the scope of work, discuss big-picture goals, and define roles and responsibilities. Where necessary, the District will hold specific meetings to explore specific information, assumptions, or processes.
5. Prepare progress reports that detail the project performance.
The project’s regional partnership structure is lead by the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable (Roundtable) whose agreed upon goals, memorialized in our shared charter, are to:
1. Coordinate efforts to:
● Expedite development of critical climate adaptation projects; ● Seek innovative solutions that realize economies of scale that integrate each others’ interests;
● Secure the health of the Solano Bayshore for the long-term benefit of people and nature.
2. Maximize opportunity for:
● Funding;
● Information sharing and collective data management;
● Awareness about each others’ projects.
3. Be adaptation leaders
● Serve as an example for how to do sub-regional work and advance our collective agendas. 35
Roundtable participants are committed to equity, self-governance, and sustaining the partnership beyond the grant term.
Metrics that will be monitored to evaluate the project effectiveness include:
1. # people reached - through numbers of social media followers; Community Meeting attendees; unique website visitors; participants in the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable, Community Workgroups, and Youth Science Programming; marketing campaign audience reached; community survey responses;
2. # govt entities participating - in the Solano Bayshore Resiliency Roundtable;
3. # tools used by decision-makers - through creating a Project Prioritization Framework (Task 4) and Portal to access shared data set and knowledge products (Task 1);
4. # of campaigns to increase issue awareness (i.e. social media posts, public service announcements, brochures, websites); and
5. # of community leaders equipped with new knowledge and skills measured through beginning and ending surveys with the Community Workgroups.
Results from tracking these metrics will be used to evaluate progress towards the project outcomes and make interim adjustments to activities to improve as necessary.
Organizational Capacity
Briefly And Clearly Describe Your Regional Partnership's (1) Administrative Experience, (2) Programmatic Experience, And (3) Plans To Meet Capacity Gaps.
Administrative Experience. The Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) will manage the grant, including internal processes for financial tracking and accountability and coordinating with diverse partners. FSSD has successfully completed numerous projects funded through government grants, contracts, and innovative partnerships. FSSD has experience managing large projects and in 2020 successfully completed a $9M ‘Blower Replacement Project’, which included $4M of a “Capitalization Grants for Clean Water State Revolving Funds”.

For example, FSSD will lead in grant administration (Task 5), whereas community-based organizations Greenbelt Alliance and Sustainable Solano will lead community engagement efforts throughout the project.
The budget and work plan tasks, subtasks, and deliverables are further explained within other proposal sections. Tasks 1 and 2 are described in the ‘Community Partnership, Needs & Priorities’ section, Tasks 3 and 4 are described in the ‘Climate Risks and Multiple Benefits’ section, and Task 5 is described in the ‘Regional Partnership’ section.
The budget includes funding from other sources, including co-applicant match contributions (both in-kind staff time and cash) and other grants requested for this project.
The budget allocates resources across entities based on their strengths and experiences. For example, grant sub-awards will be made to co-applicants, including Greenbelt Alliance for Community Engagement, Solano Resource Conservation District for Youth Programming, and Sustainable Solano for both Community Engagement and Youth Programming. Additional subawards will be made to partners, specifically to Suisun City and Solano County for ongoing capacity building and staff participation and to the San Francisco Estuary Institute to map shallow groundwater impacts from sea level rise.

MEETING DATE:

AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Approving the Purchase of One EV ARC 2020 Charger and One Mobility Trailer Through BEAM Global.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There would be no impact on the General Fund from this purchase. The purchase price, in the not to exceed the amount of $151,200 including sales tax, will be funded through State Earmark Funds specifically allocated for EV infrastructure improvements. The City has received a total of $250,000 in EV Earmark Funds. No local match is required for these funds.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance and Enhance the Environment
BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2023, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a funding agreement with the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) to receive Earmark Funds from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the amount of $250,000. These funds are to be explicitly used on the implementation of zero-emission infrastructure such as EV charging stations or vehicle replacements.
STAFF REPORT:
The Public Works Department is seeking to promote the public’s transition to clean vehicles and reduce overall vehicle emission through the purchase of one Beam EV ARC 2020 solar- powered EV charging station and one mobility trailer.
The EV ARC 2020 unit (Unit) is a fully autonomous, transportable, ADA-compliant, dual port, solar- powered electric charging system that fits inside a standard parking space without reducing available parking space access. The Unit can generate and store enough clean solar electricity to charge up to 265 e-miles in a single day, and the battery storage capabilities allow it to charge electric vehicles day or night. The Unit will continue to work during rain events as well as whenever the power grid may go down. Additional features include being wind-rated to 160 mph, flood-rated to 9.5', and the Unit can act as an available power source to first responders. The Unit will come with a grid connect option that can be used in the future, in the event that the solar power function goes down for any reason.
The Unit will be deployed in the front parking lot at City Hall. The mobility trailer will provide maximum flexibility as it will allow the unit to be moved to a new location if and when this is needed.
The cost for the Unit and trailer is $139,490.31 plus an estimated $11,709.69 in sales tax for a not to exceed a total of $151,200. The remaining balance of Earmark funds ($98,000) is planned to be used as a local match for the Transit Station Public Charging Program Grant ($350K) the City has been allocated through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).

Your EV ARC™ 2020 is an American-made product and will be fabricated in our San Diego, California facility.
EV ARC™ 2020 systems are capable of generating and storing enough clean, solar electricity to charge up to 265 e-miles in a single day. Thanks to its battery storage, it can charge electric vehicles day or night, or even during periods of cloudiness, and is also an excellent source of emergency/alternative power. The electricity produced is clean and renewable, reducing 100% of greenhouse gas emissions from ICE vehicles and electric vehicles powered from the utility grid.
The EV ARC™ 2020 is deployed in minutes and has not required any kind of permitting in the over 100 jurisdictions which are currently benefitting from it. It is deployed without any construction or electrical work and does not require civil or electrical engineering, foundations, trenching, electrical connections or upgrades. It will produce energy reliably and consistently but will not generate a utility bill or fail to operate because of a black out or other utility grid failure. It’s no wonder that Google, the City of New York, the State of California and many others across the U.S. and internationally trust the EV ARC™ product line to charge their electric vehicles.
The patented EV ARC™ 2020 is the world’s first and only fully autonomous, transportable, solar-powered electric vehicle charging system.
Designed, engineered and manufactured in the U.S., the EV ARC™ 2020 measures 7.5' X 18' at the base and fits inside a standard parking space without reducing available parking while being ADA compliant.

AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Construction Contract on the City’s Behalf with WABO Landscape & Construction, Inc. for the Prosperity Garden Park Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact on the General Fund. Prosperity Garden Park will be funded by a combination of $375,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, State of California Parks and Recreation Department ‘Specified Grant’ funding of $780,000, and $763,243 coming from Park Development Funds.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance and Enhance the Environment.
BACKGROUND:
The former Suisun City Community Garden ceased to exist in 2016, as it was not well maintained and did not have purposeful planning or management during its existence.
At the October 5, 2021, City Council meeting, the Prosperity Garden Community Park project was proposed. It is to be located on a City owned lot, approximately 1.9 acres, west of Blossom Avenue, south of Chyrl Way, and along Laurel Creek. The project was approved to proceed at that meeting.
At the March 29, 2022, City Council meeting, the contract for the design plan and project coordination for the Project with Melton Design Group was approved. On the March 7, 2023, City Council meeting, the design and preliminary budget of the Project was approved.
Construction for the project officially went out to bid on April 1, 2024, with the construction bid documents for the Project advertised in the Daily Republic newspaper on April 1 and 8, 2024. The Project improvements included the construction and installation of angled asphalt parking spaces, ADA-compliant curb ramp, hard surface walk paths, fencing and gates, privacy screens, play structure, recreation equipment pieces, shade structures, landscaping and irrigation, planters, shed, and pergola.
STAFF REPORT:
Bids were due on April 24, 2024, at 2:00 PM. Five (5) bids were received and read aloud immediately following the submittal deadline and those bids are:
Wabo Landscape & Construction $1,079,000
B&M Builders $1,126,587 Pro Builders $1,165,000 JPG Designs $1,347,580 JPB Designs $1,364,662.57
The Engineer’s cost estimate for the Project is $740,273.
The bid submitted by WABO Landscape & Construction, Inc. represents the lowest bid received for the Project and was determined by staff to be a responsive bid.
51 Due to higher than expected bids, and increasing materials and labor costs since the preliminary budget was approved by City Council in 2023, the project will require an additional $566,343 from Park Development Funds. The grand total of the project, including the construction contract cost with all additive alternate items, pre-purchase items, and design and project coordination contract, with a 7% contingency is $1,918,243. If contingency is not used, funds will be returned to the Park Development Fund.

.
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Accepting Grant Funds from the State of California Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant for the Police Activities League (PAL); and

.
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___: Adopting the 10th Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution No. 2023-88 to Appropriate Funds for the Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant for the Police Activities League (PAL).
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Ensure Fiscal Solvency.
BACKGROUND:
In 2022, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) released a request for proposal (RFP) for the Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program, Cohort 3. The RFP made $150 million available for California Cities and Counties that have not banned both indoor and outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation or retail sale of marijuana products. Suisun City fits those criteria, making the City eligible to apply.
The intent of the program is to fund projects that assist with law enforcement efforts, fire prevention efforts, or other local projects addressing public health and safety associated of the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use Marijuana Act. Specifically, BSCC outlined ‘Project Purpose Areas’ that each project must address, including Youth Development / Youth Prevention and Intervention.
In December 2023, the Recreation, Parks, and Marina (RPM) Department submitted a grant proposal to BSCC.
In April 2023, BSCC officially informed the RPM Department that its submission was accepted and approved for funding. The City is to be awarded $2,294,495 over a five-year period.
The grant proposal focuses on the formation of a Suisun City Police Activities League (PAL) program for City middle school and high school youth. The program will be free to participating youth and will combine existing PAL structures and resources with a cannabis prevention and education curriculum.
The project will also support a Recreation Supervisor to oversee the project and a School Resource officer that will participate in school intervention efforts and will focus on mentoring, counseling, building relationships with youth, and acting as an extension of the program.
The grant was approved at the May 23, 2023, City Council meeting.
STAFF REPORT:
Due to the timing of the award, financial assumptions were made during the City budget process. This is a corrective action to place the correct funds within the correct account lines, to 57 remove the police officer that was being charged to this fund and replace that position with the correct Community Services Officer position. There is not a reduction nor an increase in the grant funding.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider the adoption of the following Resolutions:
a
.
Resolution No. 2024-___: Accepting Grant Funds from the State of California Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant for the Police Activities League (PAL); and b
.
Resolution No. 2024-___: Adopting the 10th Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution No. 2023-88 to Appropriate Funds for the Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant for the Police Activities League (PAL).
