Addressing the Council on Items on the Agenda - The Brown Act provides that every regular Council meeting shall provide an opportunity for the public to address the Council on any item within its jurisdiction before or during the Council's consideration of the item, provided no action shall be taken on any item not on the agenda. To facilitate the orderly process of public comment and to assist the Council to conduct its business as efficiently as possible, members of the public wishing to address the Council are requested to, but not required to, hand a speaker card, which includes the speaker’s name or other identifying designation and address to the City Clerk prior to the agenda item being called. Generally, once the City Council begins its consideration of an item, no more speaker cards will be accepted. An individual’s failure to present a speaker card or state their name shall not preclude the individual from addressing the Council. Each citizen will be allowed a maximum of five minutes for input or testimony. In the event there are 15 or more individuals wishing to speak regarding any agenda item including the “Items from the Audience/Public Comment” portion of the agenda and regular items, the maximum amount of time allowed per speaker will be three minutes. When speaking under a specific agenda item, each speaker should avoid repetition of the remarks of the prior speakers. To promote time efficiency and an orderly meeting, the Presiding Officer may request that a spokesperson be designated to represent similar views. A designated spokesperson shall have 10 minutes to speak. At the Presiding Officer’s discretion, additional time may be granted. The City Clerk shall be the timekeeper.

One motion, a second, and a roll call vote may enact the items listed on the Consent Calendar. No separate discussion of Consent Calendar items shall take place unless a member of the City Council, City staff or the public request discussion on a specific item.

Addressing the Council on Items not on the Agenda – The Brown Act prohibits discussion or action on items not on the posted agenda. The City Council’s Meeting Protocols and Rules of Procedure provide that in the interest of allowing Council to have adequate time to address the agendized items of business, “Items from the Audience/Public Comment” following the Consent Calendar will be limited to 15- minutes maximum period. “Items from the Audience/Public Comment” listed near the end of the agenda will not have a maximum time limit. A five- minute maximum time limit per speaker will apply to all individuals speaking during “Items from the Audience/Public Comment”. For non-agendized items, Council Members may briefly respond to statements made or questions posed by individuals during public comment; ask questions for clarification; direct the individual to the appropriate staff member; or request that the matter be placed on a future agenda or that staff provide additional information to Council. When members of the public address the Council, they should be as specific as possible about their concerns. If several members of the public comment on the same issue an effort should be made to avoid repetition of views already expressed.

Mr. Tanner shared his concerns about sending Mayor Pro Tem Vargas to Miami when she is terming out.

Tony requested when the homeless are moved that the areas that homeless people have been living on be barricaded or remediated as the soil has biohazards, drugs, needles.

Jagadeesh stated his home is near a community park and asked if the Council meeting was the right place to request for a tennis court in the park or is it the builder.

Kalyan stated he is also a first-time homeowner in Tracy and spoke about changing pickleball court and opting for a tennis court.

Andrea Brown spoke about a meeting she had with the City Manager about what is happening in the park and enforcing the ordinances at the park, and was told he had never heard of these items before even though he has been to Council meetings. Ms.

Council Member Davis and Council Member Bedolla provided the staff report.

Council questions and comments followed.

William Dean, Assistant Development Services Director and Victoria Lombardo, Senior Planner responded to questions.

Cherise Bradley and dance students shared signs that show proximity to the dance studio, read out a letter from her niece and shared concerns regarding putting a cannabis dispensary next to dance studio.

Karen Moore stated if we were going with four, density would not be an issue, but Council increased the number of dispensaries. Mr. Tanner expressed concerns previously about downtown density. Ms. Moore referred to previous discussion by Council and stated she was confused why now when Planning Commission can make decisions on density, we are asking for a moratorium. Does not seem like an emergency.

Council Member Bedolla responded to Ms. Moore’s comment.

Arabella McCreary shared information about retailers and urged Council to take into consideration and do retail only and not the other retail types. Stick to downtown area and limit to permit types, retail will address the concern about the concentration in the downtown area and exposure to the public and children.

Marcus Medina, downtown businessowner shared his concerns regarding the dispensary density issue downtown adding it is our job to protect youth.

Shared concerns regarding sensitive use stating it contradicts the code and suggested the last portion of code be removed so it can be addressed with the Planning Commission.

Regular Meeting Minutes 6 September 6, 2022

Zoe Schreiber, GOE Tracy provided information about the cannabis process and urged Council to reject the moratorium and rely on the City’s land use process to play out and grant approval and denial of individual projects based on the merits of the operation.

Joshua Dean stated there seems to be confusion about retail sites and some of applicants are delivery services. The four that have been approved have not yet opened. It is still a myth that it is drugs; it is natural medicine.

Chris Phillips, owner of Devonport Extracts stated they had to reach out to other areas to open their business because this is being stalled. The Council keeps adding more CUPs, should not have 12. Open four and get it going and move from there. Operators are bleeding us dry waiting for decisions that could have been made 18 months ago.

Dale Schafer, Attorney for three cannabis candidates in Tracy stated they have been following the rules, it has been difficult to find real estate and is against the moratorium but send to Planning Commission to address density. Children are not allowed in the businesses and urged Council not to adopt the ordinance.

Devon Julian, Inside the Culture Triangle stated there were four permits originally. On October 15, 2021, the number was increased from four to 11.

Spoke about it being an election period and those running introducing this emergency ordinance to hold back companies that have invested, and urged Council not to move forward with the moratorium.

Quinn Brady, Megan’s Organic Market, one of the original permit winners stated their team is listening and have made amendments to their project, shared information about Megan’s and experience with cannabis and hoped to keep the process fair and supported the original permit winners.

A caller stated a lot of the emotions being expressed are not facts. Need to educate your own children and need to let people that applied open their business.

Devon stated there are a few working diligently with staff through the CUP process that are not located in the downtown area and requested to not stop the processing of locations that are compliant and properly zoned outside of the downtown area. A moratorium would be an additional delay.

James Osborne, Attorney disputed the order of business, stated his firm represents Byron Alvarez, asked Council to consider a 45-day moratorium or longer. Mr. Osborn does not oppose dispensaries, but zoning ordinance should address density issues and location, proposed a one-mile buffer between dispensaries and 500-1000 feet from youth centered locations and change the definition.

Regular Meeting Minutes 7 September 6, 2022

Elizabeth Villarreal shared her concerns regarding dispensaries downtown stating it is going against the City’s mission, and do not want cannabis row downtown.

Troy Ermish stated it is disturbing that after 30 meetings Council has gained no traction. It is unfortunate that staff is unable to foresee these issues; the problem is density and he hoped 45 days is enough time to come up with a plan to eliminate density.

Michaela Toscas, Inspire Positive LLC aka Higher Elevation stated they received a permit from the City. Have been open for seven years and are happy to relocate facility to Tracy but have been paying rent for two years while waiting to open a warehouse in Tracy. Concerns regarding the downtown dispensaries should have been addressed in the ordinance and requested if Council decides to adopt a moratorium not to affect other business who are trying to locate elsewhere in the City.

Deborah Skinner, Academy of Performing Arts owner stated this is a colossal mistake. Have 500 students through her studio a week and does not think it will be safe downtown now, and shared concerns about bringing dispensaries downtown.

Faith Roe read a letter from Katie Borncamp: DARE envisioned a world against violence, substance use and other dangerous behavior. Should be adding family friendly things and keep away from family spaces.

Daniel Helm stated he did not think cannabis facilities are appropriate for downtown. Dispensaries deal in cash; do we want armed robberies going on.

Council Member Arriola objected to Mr. Helm’s characterization.

Andrew Wood appreciated the concerns about introduction of cannabis dispensaries, but people may not have visited dispensaries, and shared the process of entering a dispensary stating they are secure and did not support the moratorium.

Rachael Knight Scott asked Council about their long-term intentions for the downtown area, shared her concerns regarding density of dispensaries downtown and spoke about tax revenue for City.

Greg Cose, TCCA spoke about the loss of Dino Margaros and reiterated what Dino had said at the Planning Commission meeting. People who started paying rent did so at their own risk. Mr. Cose asked Council to consider adding perimeters of spacing and capping the number of dispensaries in the central business district at two.

Dan Evans stated he is not against cannabis but is against poor planning and talked about coming up with zoning ordinance. If five liquor stores go up in the downtown, they should also have restrictions and asked Council to implement the moratorium.

Regular Meeting Minutes 8 September 6, 2022

Ken Cefalo, Main Street Music stated he did not want retail sales of cannabis in downtown Tracy. He voted for Council and hoped they would make good decisions for the City. Need to look at definition of youth center and requested Council consider the moratorium.

Robert Tanner stated there was a moratorium before under Mayor Rickman at the 205 for 45 days. Hope this Council does the same thing so we can get something done within 90 days and spoke about mortgages on locations. There is too much concentration downtown or central business district and suggested to take time to do it right.

Mike Shober stated the City needs to take the time because children are involved. Need to protect children and get it right.

Hailey Andrew, Operator of a dispensary in Dixon shared her experience with going before the Dixon City Council, and opposition from the community. Have been there 4.5 years, have won awards in Dixon because of community commitment and urged Council to look at who your operators will be.

Mike Souza asked Council to be fair to those who want to be part of this business and not be downtown and not penalize those that are not trying to go downtown and asked if the Planning Commission can continue items that are downtown so Council can continue to look at it to come back with emergency ordinance.

Nick Andre, Megan’s Organic Market stated they are one of the four original permit winners. Issue of density is going from four to 11. Let the four original winners proceed and deal with density issues for the remaining. Mr.

Andre added they made an application to amend the CUP with a revised plan to move the entry to B Street and are trying to solve the problem.

Dana stated Livermore is thriving and there are zero dispensaries downtown and asked why the Planning Commission and Council doesn’t have the guts and common sense to say no to six dispensaries in our downtown. Dana stated she is not opposed to dispensaries in Tracy, only in the downtown.

Alice English stated they are going to move the entrance on B Street but what about residents; families that live on 9th Street and who is protecting them. Council failed in June. Need the 45 days, to protect residents and need buffer, and zoning. The store on 11th Street is more than enough to serve downtown and need a moratorium for our community.

Erwin asked what the amount of sales tax and impacts are of having a dispensary in certain locations and asked what the impacts on residents are, crime rates, business impacts. Eleven is too much.

Dotty Nygard, Co-partner Megan’s Organic Market stated there is a large population in town that look forward to this opening up for health reasons.

Understand safety concerns and addressed what they heard at Planning Regular Meeting Minutes 9 September 6, 2022

Commission. Ms. Nygard stated they came to Council before about density issues and offered solutions.

Tim Silva stated the bigger issue is how did we get to this point. Had over 30 meetings and we’re still talking about zoning and density. How is it fair to business people and residents to endure this and how are we so ineffective and not able to come up with comprehensive resolution for everyone.

Jennifer Toscas stated cannabis has replaced all her pharmaceutical, is not in favor of a moratorium and delaying opening of cannabis stores and is tired of having to travel outside of Tracy.

Megan Roe stated she is not against cannabis or dispensaries but there are better locations for them and shared concerns regarding dispensaries downtown and requested Council take into consideration the 45-day moratorium.

Deanna Garcia stated by removing regulated and legal cannabis you are removing the education that is needed as well as safety, security, and tax dollars. They are scheduled for their CUP hearing next week. The process has cost $240,000 so far. Let’s keep this item going as is with no postponement and requested Council vote no on a moratorium.

Alex Monceaux stated he was pro cannabis. His business is not store front or downtown and would love to move back but with tax rates it is better to keep in other towns. This is a knee jerk reaction from four to 11 because of inadequate scoring process.

Burnell Shull stated she was not against cannabis but against it being downtown and asked who is in charge of seeing who is paying taxes since it is all cash. Ms. Schull was upset that the City would give a corporation the first cannabis store when people from Tracy have wanted to open a store.

Michele True, Tracy Cannabis Collective shared events and benefits of cannabis, understands the public concerns. Their location is outside of TCCA district and they do not want the moratorium.

Cecile Hines stated she is not against dispensaries but totally against being downtown. Modesto has a buffer around their downtown. Council needs to put the community first as they are talking about changing the culture of downtown and take the time the moratorium gives you.

Megan Souza, Megan’s Organic Market stated they invested significant resources based on the ordinance that Council approved. The ordinance works for four dispensaries, it does not work for 11 or 12 and agreed overconcentration is an issue. This is a concern that Council considered potential solutions but went ahead anyway. Two would be appropriate.

Kimberly Cargile, Tracy Cannabis Collective asked Council to vote no on the moratorium. Heard concerns from other towns because people are afraid of unknown.

Regular Meeting Minutes 10 September 6, 2022

Dennis Chang, Tracy Cannabis Collective spoke about the security and safety of employees and community is paramount and provided highlights of cannabis businesses. This is a highly regulated industry.

Mayor Young reconvened the meeting at 12:04 a.m. September 7, 2022.

Council Member Arriola supported directing staff to bring back three specific proposed ordinance amendments that considers 1) Limited number of permits for business district 2) Buffer zones including density applicant proximity to one and another and 3) Definition of youth center. Council Member Bedolla supported the suggestion.

BACKG

ROUND AND ANALYSIS
Each year
since 2008, the City of Tracy City Manager has entered into Professional Services Agreements (PSA) with Patricia Jordan and Associates to assist the City with furthering its interests regarding transportation, social welfare, housing, environment, and other municipal interests at the federal level.

Desir
ing to further enhance the City’s presence with federal agencies and legislators in order to effect legislation that will either positively or negatively impact the City’s objectives; and to enhance the City’s opportunities to position itself in an ever-increasing competitive environment of federal funding and grants, a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQ/P) was issued to provide, not only federal advocacy services, but also for federal grant procurement services—something that the City already utilizes at the state level.

On June
3, 2022, notices for services were advertised in multiple locations including the Tracy Press and the City’s Website. The original deadline for responses was June 30, 2022, but was extended on June 30th to July 7, 2022 by an amendment to the solicitation notice.

The City
received twelve inquiries to its solicitation notice and qualifications and proposals were received by six firms:

Townsend Public Affairs California, Washington D.C.

The Ferguson Group Washington D.C.

C.J. Lake, LLC
Washington D.C.

Tai Ginsberg & Associates, LLC Washington D.C.; Chicago, Illinois Foley & Lardner, LLP Washington D.C.

Rojas Communications Group California
Following reviews and evaluations by Assistant City Manager s Karin Schnaider and Midori Lichtwardt, Development Services Department Director Kris Balaji, and Finance Department Management Analyst
II, Anne Bell, three firms stood out as having provided superior qualifications and proposals. Townsend Public Affairs, C.J. Lake, LLC., and The Ferguson Group were invited to partake in interviews with the evaluation panel. The interviews took place on July 20, 2022.

A qualification-based process considered the following criteria when evaluating the proposals and int
erviewing the shortlisted candidates:
• Experience, expertise, and knowledge of legislative process • Experience representing
cities and/or counties
• References indicating ability to work effectively with legislators from both political parties and with clients
• Record of no legal/regulatory violations
• Familiarity with
the City of Tracy
• Ability to represent Tracy on a broad range of issues without significant conflicts
of interest
• Experience, expertise, and knowledge of grant procurement • Fee Proposals (although
fees could be considered, they were not
considered as
a deciding factor)
Townsend Publi
c Affairs (TPA) was selected after the interviews. Since May of 2019, the City of Tracy has been under a separate contract with TPA for State lobbying and grant writing services. This PSA has the added benefit of efficiencies and economies of scale by utilizing TPA for both State and Federal lobbying and grant services.

FISCAL IM
PACT
The Agreement
allows for an initial term of five-years, subject to three 5-year extensions, for an annual amount not to exceed $60,000 per year, a maximum total agreement amount not to exceed $1,200,000. The funding is provided through Central Administrations operating budget in the General Fund.

TPA curren
tly serves as the City of Tracy’s State Advocate. For the duration of the Agreement in which TPA provides both Federal and State Advocacy and Grant Writing services, TPA will offer a bundled discount price for Federal Services of $2,000 per month ($24,000 per Year). If TPA serves only as the City of Tracy’s Federal Advocate and provides only Federal Grant Writing services, the monthly fee shall at that time revert to the prorated undiscounted amount Agenda Item 1.C
September 20, 2022

of $60,000 per year ($5,000 per month). TPA chooses not to include an annual inflationary escalator.

PUBLIC OUTREACH/ INTEREST
Not Applicable.

COORDINATION
Assistant City Managers Karin Schnaider and Midori Lichtwardt; Development Services Department Director, Kris Balaji; and Finance Department Management Analyst II, Anne Bell were the staff members involved in the selection process and contributed to the recom
mendation being presented in this staf f report.

CEQA DETERMINATION
The action of approving an Agreement with a federal advocate and grant writer will not pose any environmental impact and is not subject to CEQA. Projects benefiting from the consultant’s services will be subject to CEQA deter mination at the time of project approval.

STRATEGIC PLAN
Council’s action addresses and contributes to its Strategic Priority of Governance, Goal No. 2 “Ensure Short and Long-term Fiscal Health".

ACTION REQUESTED OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Adopt a Resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement with Townsend Public Aff airs, Incorporated for the performance of federal advocacy, intergovernmental, and grant services for an initial term of five-years, subject to three 5-year extensions for an annual amount not to exceed $60,000 per year,

AGENDA ITEM 3.A

REQUEST

STAFF RECOMMENDS

THAT THE CITY COUNCIL INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING SECTION 3.08.580 REGARDING SPECIAL SPEED ZONES OF THE

TRACY MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE SPEED LIMITS AS REQUIRED BY THE

CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed ordinance will am
end Section 3.08.580, Article 12 of the Tracy Municipal Code to establish speed limits on street segments in accordance with the requirements of the California Vehicle Code (CVC).

DISCUSSION
Section 3.08.580, Article 12, of the Tracy Municipal Code (TMC) establishes speed zones on various streets in the City. The speed limit on streets is established based on engineering and traffic surveys in accordance with the requirements of the California Vehicle Code section 40803 (CVC), and the applicable traffic engineering standards.

To allow Law Enforcement to enforce posted traffic speed on streets with use of radar equipment, it is necessary to establish speed limits in accordance with the requirements of the CVC. The CVC requires completion of engineering and traffic surveys to establish posted speeds once every five years. In December of 2021, staff completed engineering and traffi
c surveys to update speed limits on 21 segments of 16 arterial and collector
streets in accordance with the CVC and California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) and recommends introducing an ordinance to amend special speed zones outlined in Section 3.08.580 of the Tracy Municipal Code.

The use of radar equipment is one of the most effective tools for enforcing speed limits and traffic safety on City streets. To allow law enforcement to fully utilize the equipment, it is necessary to establish speed limits in accordance with the requirements of the CVC.

In order to legally use radar equipment for speed enfor cement, engineering and traffic surveys are needed to establish posted speeds once every five years. Subsection (c) of California Vehicle Code Section 40803 provides that evidence of conducting a speed zone survey within the last five years to establish the prima facie speed for a local street or road shall
constitute a prima facie case that such local street or road is not a speed trap for the purposes of radar enforcement.

An engineering and traffic survey was completed on a total of 21 segments of the 16 arterial and collector streets by the Engineering Division. This survey will update the posted speeds and provide the basis for the proposed amendments of the Municipal Code, thus, resulting in
continuation of special speed zones with updated speed limits on the street segments listed in Attachment
A. Attachment B provides a map where the
speed surveys were conducted.

Agenda Item 3.A
September 20, 2022

Page 2 ends

This update to the City
’s traffic code will establish radar enforceable speed limit zones for arterial and collector streets for the following:
• Balboa Drive
• Beechnut Avenue
• Beverly Place
• Chester Drive
• Clover Road
• Corral Hollow Road
• Cypress Drive
• Eaton Avenue
• Henley Parkway
• Lankershire Drive
• Lowell Avenue
• Middlefield Drive
• Portola Way
• Richard Drive
• Tenth Street
• Third Street
The results of the speed s
urvey recommend that existing speed limits remain
unchanged.

The recommendations
are based upon the 85th percentile speed of surveyed moving vehicles on those streets with consideration given to the existing road site conditions such as street alignment, classification, collisions, etc. The CVC allows further adjustment of the surveyed speed based upon the above conditions. The research indicates that posting speeds lower than the closest 85th percentile speed does not lower the speed of motorists.

A copy of the proposed
Ordinance Amendment is provided as Attachment C.

Attachment D provides an update of the TMC section 3.08.580 special speed zone table.

A copy of all engineeri
ng and traffic surveys certified as correct by the City Engineer will be maintained in the Engineering Division files with a duplicate copy on file with the Police Department.

It is observed that some of the s
urveyed segments were sub-part of longer segments of
the roadway in the Tracy Municipal Code for radar enforcement. To differentiate the speed limits on the surveyed segments, it is necessary to add the sub-parts separately and delete the larger segments. This will avoid confusion in establishing the speed limit signs for the various roadway segments and assist in better speed enforcement.

Agenda Item 3.A
September 20, 2022

Page 3 ends

Therefore, the followi
ng four roadway segments are recommended to be added to the ordinance for radar enforcement:

Street Segment Previously
Established
Newly
Established

Clover Road Holly Drive to Tracy

25 25 No Change
Eaton Avenue Richard Drive to Tracy
Boulevard
25 25 No Change
Eaton Avenue Tracy Boulevard to East
Street
25 25 No Change
The following five r
oadway segments are recommended to be removed from the
ordinance for radar enforcement to avoid duplication of road segments:

Street Segment Previously

Newly
Established

Balboa Drive Portola Way to
Kavanagh Avenue
Delete
Clover Road West City limits to Holly
Drive
Delete
Eaton Avenue Richard Drive to East
Street
Delete
Portola Way Balboa Drive to Entrada
Way
Delete
Tenth Street Tracy Boulevard to
MacArthur Drive
Delete

FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fi
scal impact to the General Fund. Enforcement of speed limits is a budgeted item and is the Police Department’s responsibility. The current speed survey does not require any signing or striping changes and hence there will be no impact to the existing traffic signing and signage operation budget.

COORDINATION
The results of the Engin
eering and Traffic Survey as shown in Attachments A & B, the updated Special Speed Zone Table in the TMC as shown in Attachment D, and the Speed Zone Report in Attachment E were coordinated with the Police Department and the Operations and Utilities Department. This assists the Police Department for speed enforcement and assists the Operations and Utilities Department to determine any speed limit sign updates in the field.

Agenda Item 3.A
September 20, 2022

Page 4 ends

CEQA DETERMINATION
The proposed item is c
ategorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15301, which pertains to existing highways and streets. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines, no further environmental assessment is required.

STRATEGIC
PLAN
This agenda item supports
the City of Tracy’s Quality of Life Strategic Priority, which is to provide an outstanding quality of life by enhancing the City’s amenities, business mix and services and cultivating connections to promote positive change and progress in our community.

RECOMMENDAT
ION
Staff recommends
that the City Council introduce an ordinance amending Section

3.08.580, regarding special speed zones of the Tracy Municipal Code to update speed limits as required by the California Vehicle Code.

3 III. STUDY PROCEDURES

Section 22352, of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) requires a 25 mph prima facie speed limit on streets in residential or business district, 15 mph at railroad grade crossings, highway intersections with sight restrictions and in any alley. However, upon the basis of an Engineering and Traffic survey, a local authority may declare speed limits of 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, or a maximum of 65 mph in order to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic. Section 22356 of CVC currently sets the maximum speed limit at 65 mph. Also, except as provided in Section 22356, it is also required to comply with Section 22349 (b) which states that “Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person may drive a vehicle upon a two lane, undivided highway at a speed greater than 55 miles per hour unless that highway, or portion thereof, has been posted for higher speed by local agency on the bases of an e ngineering and traffic survey ”. Prima facie speed limits can be posted without the need for engineering and traffic surveys.

The required elements in such Engineering and Traffic Survey are outlined in Section 627 of the C VC. This report adopts the afor ementioned guidelines in formulating the recommendations in this report.

The principal elements in this study of the selected streets are highlighted below:

Radar Check

Each street was divided into segments to account for its differing roadway characteristics. Variations in roadway segm ents include street width, and other significant geometric factors and constraints. One speed check was made in each section from an inconspicuously parked, unmarked vehicle. Every effort was made to ensure that the prese nce of the vehicle does not affec t the driving behavior of other motorists. A minimum of 100 samples were taken for each section of roadway. All field data was coded onto forms for subsequent computer analysis.

Data Analysis

For each survey section, computer analysis and calculations were performed on the field data to obtain several key parameters. The computer analysis printouts are included in the appendix of this report. A list of these parameters and a brief discussion of each follow:

50 th Percentile Speed. The 50th percentile speed is the speed above and below which 50 percent of the observed vehicles are trav elling. This is also known as the median or middle speed.

85th Percentile Speed. The 85th percentile speed, or the critical speed, is the speed at or below which 85 per cent of the observed vehicles are traveling.

Traffic engineers generally consider that at least 85 percent of all motorists will drive at speeds that are reasonable and prudent for the prevailing conditions, 4 without the benefit of posted speed limits, si gns, or enforcement. Therefore, the 85th percentile speed is a good preliminary indicator of the appropriate speed limit that can be imposed, after taking into consideration all other secondary factors such as historical collision occurrence, traffic volumes, road features, and other special constraints.

Pace Speed. The pace speed is the ten- mile-per-hour increment that contains the greatest number of observed vehicles. In general, the 85 th percentile speed and the recommended speed limit should lie wi thin the upper range of the pace.

This parameter is also a good indicator of a reasonable and appropriate speed limit.

Range of Speeds. The range of speeds is simply the speeds of the fastest and slowest vehicles obse rved. A large range of speeds, say in excess of 30 mph, indicates unfavorable road conditions that lead to inconsistent traffic stream and great likelihood of traffic collisions.

Average speed. The average speed is a simple arithmetic mean of all speeds observed in a single sample.

Collision Review

After the computer analysis, a good initial estimate of the appropriate speed limit for each of the street sections was determined. However, as a first check, it was necessary to validate these estimates b y carefully reviewing the historical collision occurrences within the last two years. The location and severity of collision occurrences, as well as their frequency were considered before a final speed limit was recommended for each road section.

Field Check

After performing the radar checks, data analyses, and collision review, a final field check was made. While performing a field check, the speed surveyor is fully cognizant of the before mentioned parameters and particularly cogni zant of the 85 th percentile
speeds and the pace speed. The speed surveyor evaluated the appropriateness of these values and noted the significance of other factors such as roadside development, driveways, parked vehicles, emergency shoulder areas, schools and playgrounds, pedestrians, roadway alignment, control, and numerous other intangible factors. These elements were given serious consideration in the determination of a reasonable and safe speed limit.

Reasonable limits are speeds at which motorists would drive without the effects of enforcement of signs.

MMENDS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT THE FOLLOWING

RESOLUTIONS TO FURTHER COMPLY WITH THE JUDGMENT AND PEREMPTORY WRIT OF MANDATE IN MITRACOS V. CITY OF TRACY, ET AL., SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT CASE NO. STK-CV-UWM-2018-5531:
(1) A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2020-154 APPROVING FINAL

AQUATIC CENTER CONCEPTUAL PLAN WITH A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $65 MILLION INCLUDING CONTINGENCY AND SOFT COSTS;
(2) A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2019-78 APPROVING THE

AGREEMENT FOR DEFERRAL OF CERTAIN IMPACT FEES FOR ELLIS GARDENS PHASE 1- 3 (TRACT 3877, TRACT 3906, AND TRACT 3907); AND (3) A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2021-116 APPROVING THE

AGREEMENT FOR DEFERRAL OF CERTAIN IMPACT FEES FOR ELLIS TOWN AND COUNTRY (TRACT 4007)

EXECUTIVE SUMM
ARY
This agenda item is to request the City Council to take certain actions with respect to the unwinding of the Second Amendment, to further comply with the Judgment and Peremptory Writ of Mandate (Writ) in Mitracos v. City of Tracy, et al., San Joaquin County Superior Court Case No. STK-CV-UWM-2018-5531. Specifically, the actions requested in this agenda item are that the City Council adopt three Resolutions that would, together, rescind the Conceptual Plans for the Aquatic Center as designed by Surland Communities, LLC (Surland) pursuant to the Second Amendment and two fee deferral agreements authorized by the Second Amendment.

On August 16, 2022, the City Council introduced Ordinances to rescind Ordinance 1253 and the 2018 Second Amendment to the Development Agreement. The adoption of these two Ordinances is on the consent calendar for this same September 6, 2022 meeting. The City remains obligated to take additional actions to further comply with the Judgment and Writ, including to rescind and unwind actions previously taken to implement the invalidated Second Amendment. The City must also inform the Superior Court of actions it has taken to comply with the Judgment and Writ. As such, City staff and the City
Attorney are conferring with Surland to attempt to align on an orderly path forward to accomplish the required unwinding actions, without either party suffering any unintended or unlawful consequences.

City staff and the City Attorney are continuing to evaluate additional actions that may need to be taken to rescind and unwind the Second Amendment and will return to Council at future meetings, for consideration and approval of these actions as needed.

Agenda Item 3.B
September 20, 2022

BACKGROUND
The City of
Tracy (City) and Surland have been parties with one another in a longstanding development agreement, dating as far back as 2009, with respect to Surland’s development of real property located in the Ellis Specific Plan area. The original development agreement was invalidated during a court proceeding, and in 2013, the City Council adopted an ordinance approving an Amended and Restated Development Agreement with Surland Communities, LLC (2013 Development Agreement), and subsequently, the City entered into the 2013 Development Agreement with Surland.

In 2018, the Ci
ty Council adopted Ordinance 1253 (Ordinance 1253), an Ordinance of the City of Tracy Approving the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Development Agreement By and Between the City of Tracy and Surland Communities, LLC, and subsequently the City entered into the Second Amendment to the 2013 Development Agreement (2018 Second Amendment to Development Agreement).

The 2018 Second Amen
dment to Development Agreement provided a process by which Surland could ask the City Council to exercise its legislative discretion to approve a further amendment to the 2013 Development Agreement to add additional property, which properties could be eligible for Residential Growth Allotments (RGAs) under the 2013 Development Agreement.

In addition,
the 2018 Second Amendment to the Development Agreement revised the City’s and Surland’s respective responsibilities, rights, and obligations with respect to the development of a public swim center (Aquatic Center), providing, among other things, that Surland would facilitate design and construction services for the Aquatic Center, in lieu of making certain monetary payments to the City, and dedicate land for the Aquatic Center, and the City would provide fee deferrals and credits to Surland and its assignees.

Mary Mitraco
s filed a lawsuit against the City and Surland challenging the legality of Ordinance 1253 and the 2018 Second Amendment to Development Agreement.

In 2020, the San
Joaquin County Superior Court entered Judgment (Judgment) in Ms.

Mitracos’ favor and issued a Peremptory Writ of Mandate (Writ) ordering the City (i) to rescind and set aside Ordinance 1253 and the 2018 Second Amendment to Development Agreement, (ii) not to take any action to implement the Second Amendment, and (iii) to rescind any actions that were taken to implement Ordinance 1253 and the Second Amendment. The City and Surland appealed. In May 2022, the Court of Appeal denied the appeal and affirmed the Superior Court, and in July 2022 remitted the case back to the Superior Court.

As noted above,
on August 16, 2022, the City Council introduced two Ordinances to rescind, respectively, Ordinance 1253 and the 2018 Second Amendment to the Development Agreement. The adoption of these two Ordinances is on the consent calendar for this same September 6, 2022 Council meeting. The City remains obligated to take additional actions to further comply with the Judgment and Writ, including rescinding and unwinding actions previously taken to implement the invalidated Second Agenda Item 3.B

Amendment. The City must also inform the Superior Court of actions it has taken to comply with the Judgment and Writ. As such, City staff and the City Attorney are conferring with Surland to attempt to align on an orderly path forward to accomplish the required unwinding actions, without either party suffering any unintended or unlawful consequences.

City staff now recommends that the City Council adopt the recommended Resolutions.

City staff and the City Attorney continue to evaluate additional actions that may need to be taken to fully unwind the 2018 Second Amendment to Development Agreement and Ordinance 1253. Staff will return to the City Council for additional approval, as may be necessar
y to fully “unwind” the 2018 Second Amendment to Development Agreement.

Staff will return to the City Council for approval , as needed, to implement any such additional actions.

ANALYSIS
The City is
obligated to comply with the Judgment and Writ—which are final and not subject to further appeal—and to return to the Superior Court to inform the Court as to the actions taken to comply and ask the Court to discharge the Writ.

In addition to
obligating the City to set aside, rescind, and vacate Ordinance 1253 and the 2018 Second Amendment to Development Agreement, and not to take any action to implement the Second Amendment, the Judgment and Writ obligate the City to rescind (“unwind”) any actions that were taken to implement Ordinance 1253 and the Second Amendment.

The City has alr
eady acted to set aside, rescind, and vacate Ordinance 1253 and the 2018 Second Amendment to Development Agreement, and has not taken and will not take any action to implement the Second Amendment.

The City mus
t also take necessary recession actions, including the rescission actions now proposed, in particular to rescind the City’s approval of the Conceptual Plan for Surland to design and construct the Swim Center, and the two fee deferral agreements.

FISCAL IMPAC
T
Surland is
responsible to cover all City costs and expenses associated with this lawsuit pursuant to a hold harmless and indemnity provision of the Development Agreement.

As to the
rescission of the Conceptual Plan for the Aquatic Center, any new plans for the Aquatic Center would have to be funded by the City.

As to the
rescission of the Fee Deferral Agreements, the City will receive immediately fees that previously were deferred for two major projects within the Ellis Specific Plan.

REACH/ INTEREST

as this is a court proceeding.

COORDINATION
Multiple depart
ments of the City are working together to identify the requisite actions that need to be taken to fully unwind the 2018 Second Amendment to Development Agreement.

CEQA DETERMI
NATION
Adoption of the
proposed resolutions is not a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), including as the term “project” is defined by section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, including without limitation because the adoption of the resolutions is a ministerial action not subject to and exempt from CEQA (see section 15268 of the CEQA Guidelines), and that even if it were a project under CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility of a significant effect on the environment.

STRATEGIC
PLAN
Not applicable, as this is a court proceeding.

ACTION REQUE

STED OF THE CITY COUNCIL

mends that the City Council adopt the following Resolutions to further comply with the Judgment and Peremptory Writ of Mandate in Mitracos v. City of Tracy, et al., San Joaquin County Superior Court Case No. STK-CV-UWM-2018- 5531:

1. A Resolution Rescinding Resolution No. 2020-154 Approving Final Aquatic Center Conceptual Plan with a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $65 Million Including Contingency and Soft Costs;

WHEREA
S, as to design and construction, the 2018 Second Amendment to the Development Agreement added a new section 1.01(j) which provided, among other things, that Surland would “retain and compensate consultants to design the Swim Center with input from the community and City staff and with direction from the City Council,” and that before Surland prepared construction improvement plans the City Council would approve a final conceptual plan; and
WHEREA

IT IS SO ORDERED, DECREED AND ADJUDGED that:

1. Judgment granting a Peremptory Writ of Mandate is entered in favor of Petitioner Mitracos in this proceeding. Judgment is entered because the Court finds that Respondent committed a prejudicial abuse of discretion in taking the following actions:

Amendment to Amended and Restated Development
Agreement by and between the City of Tracy and Surland
Communities, LLC" ("2018 DA").
(b) Adopting Ordinance 1253[.]

Government Code Sections 65865(b) and 65865.2 and is
therefore void ab initio.

3. A Preemptory Writ of Mandate direct[ed] to Respondents shall issue under seal of this Court, ordering Respondents to vacate and set aside, within (30) days from service of the Writ of Mandate, all approvals and adoptions of the 2008 DA and Ordinance 1253, as described in paragraph 2 above in their entirety and all other actions taken by Respondents to approve or implement the Development Agreement. Respondent City is Resolution ________

(c) Set aside, rescind, and vacate any actions taken
pursuant to the "Second Amendment to Amended and
Restated Development Agreement by and Between the
City of Tracy and Surland Communities, LLC" ("2018 DA") and Ordinance 1253.

4. Respondent City shall file a return to the Peremptory Writ of Mandate within 10 days of completion of the actions mandated by this judgment. This Court shall retain jurisdiction over Respondents' proceedings by way of the return to the Peremptory Writ of Mandate until the Court has determined that Respondent has complied with the directives of this Court.

5. Petitioner shall be awarded its costs of suit. Petitioner is the successful party pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 1021.5.

The Court reserves jurisdiction to determine entitlement to attorneys' fees and litigation expenses, pursuant to any properly and timely filed motion which Petitioner Mitracos may make.

6. Injunctive relief is granted consistent with this ruling.

Respondents, Real Parties in Interest, and their respective agents, employees, and persons acting in concert with them are
permanently enjoined from any and all actions to further implement the 2018 Development Agreement as described in paragraph 1(a) above.
and
WHEREA
S, the Writ served on October 8, 2022 includes the following commands:

AGENDA ITEM 3.C

REQUEST

ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PROPERTY TRANSFER OPTION

AND SALE AGREEMENT WITH JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS GRANTING TRI-VALLEY – SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY REGIONAL RAIL AUTHORITY A TEN

YEAR OPTION TO PURCHASE, FOR INDEPENDENT CONSIDERATION OF $100 FOR APPROXIMATELY 200 ACRES OF CITY-OWNED EXEMPT
SURPLUS LAND LOCATED AT 15580 AND 15178 WEST SCHULTE ROAD (APNs 209-230-029 AND 209-230-030)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
With this item, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving an option agreement to transfer real property located at 15580 and 15178 West Schulte Road (APNs 209-230-029 and 209-230-030), formerly known as the “Old Antenna Farm” (Property). This item is an effectuation of the intent expressed by the City Council on Septembe
r 15, 2020, through Resolution 2020-168, in which the City Council approved a term sheet for an option contract to convey the Property to the Tri-Valley – San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority (Authority). The Authority desires to use the Property for an Operations and Maintenance Facility (O&M Facility) for the Authority’s future 42- mile, 7-station passenger rail project known as “Valley Link” that will provide transit connectivity in the Tri-Val ley between the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District's system and the Altamont Corridor Express commuter (Project).

Concurrent with this item, the Council will be taking an action to declare the Property exempt
surplus land pursuant to the California Surplus Land Act. Such a declaration is based on the Cit
y’s determination that the Property is no longer needed for any City public purpose, except for the siting of a City antennae facility. This facility will either remain in place if the Property is conveyed to the Authority for the Project or be relocated by the Authority to a new location, at its cost. The option agreement will provide the Authority ten (10) years to exercise its option to purchase and close escrow on the Property.

If the Authority uses less than the full portion of the Property for either the O & M Facility or a grant match, then such portion of the Property will revert back to the City. If the Authority fails to consummate the transaction within ten (10) years or fails to complete the O & M Facility within ten (10) years after closing, then the entire Property will revert
back to the City.

BACKGROUND
The California Legisl
ature adopted Assembly Bill (AB) 758 in 2017 to establish the Tri- Valley-San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority, known as Valley Link, “to plan and help deliver a cost-effective connection from the San Joaquin Valley to the Bay Area Rapid Transit District’s rapid transit system and the Altamont Corridor Express in the Tri- Valley, to address regional economic and transportation challenges.” A board of directors representing the following fifteen entities governs Valley Link: Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART); the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission; the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority; the Mountain House Community Services District; the counties of Alameda and San Joaquin; and the cities of Dublin, Lathrop, Livermore, Manteca, Pleasanton, Stockton, Danville, San Ramon and Tracy. To address regional economic and transportation challenges, Valley Link is planning and intends to deliver transit connectivity in the Tri-Valley between the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District's system and the Altamont Corridor Express commuter service through a new 42-mile, 7-station passenger rail project known as “Valley Link”.

The Project
Feasibility Report prepared by the Authority identified a need for an Operations and Maintenance Facility (O&M Facility) to serve Valley Link trains, tracks, and associated equipment. The O&M Facility is projected to create about 400 jobs. In September 2020, the Authority approached the City about two City-owned parcels totaling approximately 200 acres (APNs 209-230- 029 and 209-230-030), commonly referred to as the “Old Antenna Farm” as a potential site for the O&M Facility. The Authority is seeking federal funding and must demonstrate local match, which the City’s Property will satisfy.

The City ac
quired the Property in 2006 from the United States Department of Energy, of which 150.18 acres were deed restricted for educational or recreational purposes. In 2020, the City acquired 300 acres in north Tracy from the Wastewater Fund to transfer the deed restriction of educational and recreational uses from the Property to the current Legacy Fields site and the future Nature Park. At that time, the City determined that the Property is no longer needed for any City public purpose, except for the siting of an antennae, which use shall remain in place on the property upon any future disposition.

On May 12, 2021, purs
uant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the Board of Directors of the Authority certified a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Project, which included the O&M Facility, and also adopted appropriate Findings of Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

Pursuant to the
California Surplus Land Act (SLA) Government Code Section 54221(b)(1), the City must declare the Property to be “surplus land” before the City can take any action (sale or lease) to dispose of the property. Surplus real property is defined as “land owned in fee simple by any local agency for which the local agency’s governing body takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use.” Pursuant Section 54221(f)(1)(D), property that is transferred to another public agency for its use is "exempt surplus land".

Concurrently with this agenda item, the Council is considering a Resolution declaring the Property to be exempt surplus land in accordance with the SLA.

The California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) adopted guidelines to increase compliance with the SLA that clarify and strengthen reporting and enforcement provisions of the Act. This includes submitting the Resolution adopted by the Council declaring the Property as “exempt surplus land” and a requirement that no disposition occur until thirty (30) days after such Resolution has been sent to HCD.
