PROCLAMATION
WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
WHEREAS, every March, Women’s History Month provides an opportunity to honor the generations of trailblazing women and girls who have built our Nation, shaped our progress, and strengthened our character as people; and
WHEREAS, throughout our history, despite hardship, exclusion, and discrimination, women have strived and sacrificed for equity and equality in communities across the country.

Generations of Native American women were stewards of the land and continue to lead the fight for climate justice. Black women fought to end slavery, advocate for civil rights, and pass the Voting Rights Act. Suffragists helped pass the 19th Amendment to the Constitution so that no American could be denied a vote on the basis of sex; and WHEREAS, women and girls continue to lead groundbreaking civil rights movements for social justice and freedom so that everyone can realize the full promise of America; and WHEREAS, this Women’s History Month, as we reflect on the achievements of women and girls across the centuries and pay tribute to the pioneers who paved the way, let us recommit to the fight and help realize the deeply American vision of a more equal society where every person has a shot at pursuing the American dream. In doing so, we will advance economic growth, our health and safety, and the security of our Nation and the world.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Twentynine Palms, does hereby proclaim March 2022 as WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH and invites everyone to learn more about the vital contribution of women to our Nation’s history.

DATED this 8th day of March 2022.

City Manager Luckino presented the Staff Report and Power Point Presentation.

Jeffrey Johnson, Twentynine Palms, spoke in opposition of the development of a wastewater treatment and sewer project. He commented that it is important to consider the value of our water here in the desert.

Anna O'Hare, Twentynine Palms, spoke on the concern over the quality of our water, expressing that we do not need another study because the Water District has already studied it.

Councilmember Klink commented that this has been going on for quite a few years and he feels this is a good time to try to get these monies to help with this sewer treatment plant.

Mayor Pro Tem Wright mentioned that when he first came on the City Council, one of the items discussed was when the City Council decides to bring in sewer, that we need to consider the lowest cost possible to our constituents, so if we are able to get this funding to help with this, we should go for it.

Councilmember Mintz mentioned that he asked the City Manager what the County's plan is to keep the Landers Landfill, which is where septic sewage is taken from tanks being emptied. City Manager Luckino mentioned that they are already at capacity and eventually the alternative will be to keep waste in trucks until there is availability.

General Manager Ray Kolisz, Twentynine Palms Water District, spoke on the unsaturated zone that is an important component that hasn't been studied and the data needs to be collected to inform the residents of the need or lack of need for a wastewater and sewer system. He commented that the City and the Water District have different missions. The City has a mission for growth and the Water District has a mission for sustainability and the protection of the groundwater.

After a brief discussion, a motion was made by Councilmember Mintz, seconded by Councilmember Bilderain to pursue the funding with State Water in furtherance of the development of Wastewater Treatment and Sewer; approve funding of development not to exceed $500,000 (the individual contracts will still come before the Council for approval; and send a request to the Twentynine Palms Water District to consider a Resolution in support of development of the wastewater and sewer project politically and financially.

Investment Policy
BACKGROUND:

Although it is no longer required by State law, it is generally recommended that each City approve its Investment Policy each year. Normally, the City has done this near the close of each Fiscal Year.

The only change to the current policy is the maximum LAIF account balance, which went from $50 million to $75 million.

In order to protect the City, the policy presented is minimal and restrictive in the type of investments permitted.

As of February 28, 2022, the City has investments in the following investment types:

Investment Type Amount % of Total
LAIF $9,260,115 70.78%
Certificate of Deposit $1,473,987 11.27%
Funds Held in Trust $2,348,641 17.95%
Total $13,082,743 100%
All of the above investments are in compliance with the City's Investment Policy.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

Not applicable
ALTERNATIVES:

Page 23 of 68 ends

The policy could be changed to allow other investments, or the City Council could choose not to approve this policy which would leave the current policy in place.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The policy is conservative relating to investments.

Purpose This policy is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City’s temporary idle cash, and outline policies to maximize the efficiency of the City’s cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its idle cash.

Objective The City’s cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues; thus, enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City will attempt to obtain the highest yield available as long as such investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.

Policy The City of Twentynine Palms operates its temporary pooled idle cash investments under the prudent person rule. (California Civil Code Section 2261 which states, in essence, that “in investing… property for the benefit of another, a trustee shall exercise the judgment and care, under the circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs ...”) This affords the City a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and is allowable under current legislation of the State of California (Government Code Section 56300 et seq.)
Investments may be made in the following media:
*Checking accounts or passbook savings account demand deposits with commercial banks
*Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Demand Deposits
*Certificates of Deposit (or Time Deposits) placed with commercial banks *Treasury Bonds or Securities of the U.S. Government or its agencies *Negotiable Certificate of Deposit - as authorized in Government Code Section 53601(i), no more than 30 percent of the City Agencies Money may be invested in negotiable certificates of deposit issued by a nationally or state-chartered bank, a savings association or a federal association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code), a state or federal credit union, or by a state-licensed branch of a foreign bank. All purchases must be fully insured by the FDIC or fully collateralized.

Page 25 of 68 ends

2 Requirements Any Commercial Banks utilized must be fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for at least $250,000. Any deposits in excess of the insured amount must be fully collateralized. When there is a significant doubt about the solvency of a governmental insurance agency, the financial institutions utilizing such an agency will also be required to collateralize all City deposits up to the insured amount in addition to such insurance. This requirement will continue until the insurance agency regains a financially healthy status. In utilizing any banks, a review will occur to ensure that the institution is in a sound financial condition.

LAIF Demand Deposits are limited to $75,000,000 per agency.

A minimum of three quotes will be required on all investments if quotes are the established standard of seeking the best rates, i.e. CDs. Efforts will be made to fully consider local institutions.

A competitive bid process, when practical, will be used to place all investment purchases, other than those that are classified as “new issue” securities.

Financial institutions that the City utilizes must annually submit audited financial statements. Interest must be paid at least semi-annually, quarterly, preferably monthly, and at maturity. Interest must be calculated based on a 360-day year.

Criteria
Criteria for selecting investments and order of priority are as follows:

Safety – The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential for loss of principal, interest or a combination of these amounts. The City only operates in those investments that are considered very safe.

Liquidity – This refers to the ability to “cash in” at any moment in time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment quality especially when the need for unexpected funds occurs occasionally.

3. Yield – Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and is sometimes described as the rate of return.

Safekeeping Securities purchased from brokers/dealers shall be held in third party safekeeping by the trust department of the City’s bank or other designated third party trust, in the City’s name and control, whenever possible.

City Constraints The basic premise underlying the City’s investment philosophy is, and will continue to be, to insure that money is always safe and available when needed.

Investments will not be made in the following media;

Page 26 of 68 ends

3 Amounts over $250,000 which is not collateralized. Negotiable and Non-negotiable Certificates of Deposits over $250,000 which are not collateralized.

Deposit requirement of periods exceeding 365 days. Deposit or Maturity requirement exceeding 5 years.

The City will generally not invest in an institution, which has not been in business for at least three (3) years or with assets less than $50 million. As an alternative the City may invest a maximum of $99,000 in such an institution.

• CSA 70 O&M Contract
Amendment No. 1
BACKGROUND:

On February 9, 2021, the City Council approved entering into a contract with CSA 70 for the operation and maintenance of the Project Phoenix Wastewater System. The City does not currently have personnel that possess the specialized expertise needed for sewer system operation and maintenance. The City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Project Phoenix Wastewater System Maintenance Program in November 2020 and determined that CSA 70 was the most qualified entity to perform the required services. The Contract commenced on March 9, 2021, with an expiration date of March 30, 2022. The contract included a provision to extend the term for an additional two (2) years by amendment with mutual agreement of both the City and CSA 70. During this initial year, CSA 70 has performed all necessary operation and maintenance activities as required by the contract in a timely and professional manner.

The services that have been, and will continue to be provided for the operation and maintenance of the of approximately 2,500 feet on new sewer pipe, associated manholes, service connections, septic tank and seepage pits would include, but not be limited to, the following:

Page 29 of 68 ends

1. Monthly Inspection. Above ground visual inspection of wastewater system including, manhole covers, trench condition, lateral cleanouts, seepage pit covers and sewer cleanouts; provide inspection report identifying results of inspection.

2. Quarterly Inspection. Open all manhole and cleanout covers and visually check for any surcharges; inspect septic tanks and seepage pits to determine pumping needs; provide inspection report identifying results of inspection.

3. Annual Maintenance and Inspection – Wastewater Piping System. Provide flushing/jetting of entire sewer pipe system, and video inspection of complete sewer pipe system; provide inspection report identifying work completed and results.

4. Annual Maintenance and Inspection – Septic Tanks and Seepage Pits. Inspect, monitor and pump septic tanks and/or pits as required by State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB); haul effluent to approved site for disposal and provide disposal information to City.

5. Annual Report. Prepare an Annual Report as required by SWRCB.

6. Emergencies. Provide on-call service for blockages, sewer system overflows (SSO) and all other emergencies as required.

Attached is the Amendment No. 1 to the Wastewater System Service Contract between City of Twentynine Palms and County Service Area 70. This Amendment includes the fee for operation and maintenance for Year 2 of $66,528.88 and Year 3 of $69,190.04. The Amendment also extends the term of the contract to March 31, 2024. All other terms and conditions of the original contract will remain in full force, including a termination clause by either party of sixty (60) days.

It should be noted that the City is completing the design of the second phase of the Project Phoenix Wastewater System which will include the installation of a packaged advanced treatment plant. It is anticipated that the new packaged plant will become operational during the term of this Amendment No.

1. CSA 70 has experienced wastewater treatment plant operations and maintenance Staff and the City anticipates including the packaged plant operations and maintenance into the contract. Staff will be working with CSA 70 during this period and will bring back a second amendment to include the packaged plant operations and maintenance prior to the plant going on-line.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

The City approved a Mitigative Negative Declaration for the entire Project Phoenix project, which included the sewer pipeline installation and operation, on February 12, 2019.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could reject the Amendment No. 1 and re-advertise for a new operator.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This work has been paid by the wastewater rates to the 14 businesses in Project Phoenix, but the majority has been and will be continued to be paid by the General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Road Staff is seeking approval from the City Council to utilize remaining Measure I and Article 8 funding from Fiscal Year 2021-22 to overlay two sections of roadway in the City of Twentynine Palms. The sections of roadway are Valle Vista from Condor Road to Utah Trail and Raymond Way from Mesquite Springs Road to Yucca Ave. These sections of roadway have warranted an increase in repair procedures over the preceding year due to accelerated deterioration of the road surface. Staff has received many complaints in reference to these two sections which has led Staff to prioritize these projects to complete this fiscal year. These two sections also meet the criteria to be designated as major arterial and connecting roads within the city infrastructure. These projects will help insure safe travel to and from the Marine Corp Air Ground Combat Center.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

None
ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose to deny the proposed projects, and request different projects.

Following the results of each decennial census, the Elections Code requires the City to hold at least four public hearings, of which this is the fourth, to discuss the results of the census and its potential impact on the City’s district voting map. (Elec. Code §§21607; 21607.1(a).)
DISCUSSION:

The Elections Code requires that two public hearings occur prior to draft maps preparation. Subsequently, two public hearings must occur after draft or proposed maps for redistricting are prepared.

Attached is a presentation from National Demographics Corporation (NDC) that outlines the redistricting process.

It explains the variety of criteria that exist for creating districts, includes various proposed maps, and provides related demographics and data. This information will be presented by Todd Tatum of NDC. The draft maps and demographic data from the 2020 Census have all been posted on the City’s website since March 1, 2022.

STAFF REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
FOR MEETING: Feb 08 2022
SUBJECT: Redistricting Process Required by State Law.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council hold a Public Hearing regarding the State-mandated redistricting process, pursuant to Elections Code sections 21607 and 21607.1.

ORDER OF PROCEDURE:

Following the results of each decennial census, the Elections Code requires the City to hold at least four public hearings, of which this is the third, to discuss the results of the census and its potential impact on the City’s district voting map. (Elec. Code §§ 21607; 21607.1(a).)
DISCUSSION:

The Elections Code requires that two public hearings occur prior to draft maps preparation. Subsequently, two public hearings must occur after draft or proposed maps for redistricting are prepared. A variety of criteria exist for creating districts which, generally speaking, already apply to the City’s existing districts. These criteria will be addressed in a presentation from National Demographics Corporation (NDC). Attached is a power point presentation that will accompany NDC’s presentation which outlines the redistricting process, includes draft maps, and provides demographics and data supporting the draft maps. These draft maps and demographic data from the 2020 Census were posted to City’s website on February 1, 2022.

An issue worthy of specific consideration by the City Council in connection with drawing district boundaries stems from a unique circumstance that exists based on the nature and location of the United States Marine Corps Air Page 62 of 68 Ground Combat Center ("MCAGCC") As will be noted in the NDC presentation, Districts must be population balanced, meaning with 5 districts and based on the most recent census, each district must have a population of approximately 5,500. Previously, based on the 2010 census this number was 5,100. For purposes of the 2020 election, and based on the 2010 census, the MCAGCC population was 9,100, nearly the size of two full districts.

However, due to the transient nature of the MCAGCC, only 612 of these 9,100 people (less than 7%) were registered to vote. The reason for this is presumed to be the fact service members are allowed to keep their voter registration as the place where they were registered when they enlisted, regardless of where they are stationed.

Complicating matters more, active service members are not eligible to serve on the City Council per Marine Corps regulations. Working with MCAGCC staff has been able to estimate that less than 8% of the MCAGCC population that is of voting age is comprised of persons who are not active service members, and hence eligible to serve as elected officials. Indeed, if one were to apply the 8% figure to registered voters, and assume it is proportionate, less than 50 persons living on MCAGCC would be eligible to serve on the Council. [We recognize this may or not be an accurate assumption and is provided for demonstrative purposes only]. Bearing in mind the districting process is required because of the California Voting Rights Act (“CVRA”), and the primary goal of the CVRA is to ensure fair representation of minorities amongst elected Council members, the City is challenged to determine how to address the disparity between MCAGCC population and registered voters, and at the same time take into account the fact only a fraction of the members of the MCAGCC population are even eligible to serve as elected officials.

This issue is complicated further by the geographical location of the MCAGCC. MCAGCC is only contiguous with what would otherwise be a stovepipe shaped narrow portion of the City that was, prior to MCAGCC annexation, the City’s northernmost border. It makes it impossible to simply divide MCAGCC up in a manner where its population is shared evenly with adjacent, geographically contiguous areas of the City; and, at the same time, create Districts that meet the overall required criteria which NDC will discuss, to wit: have balanced populations, do not divide communities of interest, have easily identifiable boundaries, and are compact in the sense they do not bypass one group of people to get to a more distant group of people.

Faced with a situation where there is no perfect solution the Council divided MCAGCC up and assigned each of the 5 voting Districts a share of relatively equal population. This solution avoids a situation where MCAGCC is all or most of two Districts, as would be dictated by its population while at the same time having a population comprised of individuals who not only have not registered to vote but also, and more significantly, are not eligible to serve on the Council. In addition, it avoids a situation where the City draws/adopts maps with “tortured” boundaries that are not easily identifiable and divide up other well-defined communities of interest in a manner such that Districts are not compact.

Dividing MCAGCC makes more sense than dividing other communities to try to create balanced maps. The nature of MCAGCC is such that by definition its population is transient, and dividing it is very different than dividing an established residential neighborhood. Service members are stationed there for various periods of time, but generally speaking, 3 years. It is the norm that a service member stationed at MCAGCC will be deployed elsewhere for 6 out of every 18 months. Hence, there is not a typical sense of community, which the CVRA seeks to protect.

Equally significant, the City annexed MCAGCC subject to a pre-annexation agreement entered between the military and the City, and approved by LAFCO. This agreement prevents the City Council from exercising any of its police powers on MCAGCC. Accordingly, the MCAGCC population is not impacted by City Council decisions which might otherwise affect their neighborhood. It is very different than the type of interest in Council Actions that might exist in a traditional neighborhood, where the CVRA seeks to protect communities of interest so such communities can better influence Council actions that impact their neighborhood.

All of the above is significant because the CVRA provides as one of its criteria that districts must be geographically contiguous “to the extent practicable.” In light of the very unique issues related to MCAGCC, the “to the extent practicable” exception would have no meaning if it did not apply here.

It is worth noting that an alternate solution has been proposed which suggests that the City create 7 voter districts instead of 5. That solution does not address any of the above issues, and rather exacerbates the problem by diluting the population of each district, and thereby making MCAGCC eligible to be all or part of 3 separate districts.

The City would be faced with the exact same challenges noted above under this scenario, and would simply be looking to spread the base population amongst 7 districts instead of 5.

Page 63 of 68 ends

The current census puts the total MCAGCC population at 11,209. This means the base would need to be all or part of three districts based on current balancing requirements of 5,500 persons per district with 5 districts, or 4,100 persons per district with 7 districts. Indeed, the proposed maps presented by the proponents of the 7-district proposal demonstrate the fact this solution makes the issues the City must grapple with worse not better.

One proposed district, identified as district 6, is entirely on the base. The entire 4,116 residents of proposed District 6 live in "military group quarters" (barracks). This means it is a near certainty there are no persons who are not active-duty military. This in turn means there are no persons who could are eligible to hold an elected City Council office. If the proposed map were adopted, a district would exist in which its council seat would remain permanently vacant because no resident would be eligible to hold office.

The other two proposed districts in the 7-district proposal have issues as well. Proposed District 4 would have an estimated population of 3970 living on MCAGCC with 71 living off the base. Proposed District 7 would have an estimated population of 3686 living on MCAGCC with 344 living off the base. This means in each instance the vast majority of the total district population would live on MCGACC. Using the assumption that only 8% of this population is eligible to serve as elected officials, only a small fraction of the population in each district would be eligible to serve on the City Council. While the above numbers are admittedly based on estimates, whatever the actual numbers are it is very clear that the impact of the overwhelming total of the population of these two proposed districts being MCAGCC residents is that the proposed districts are not truly population balanced if population is assumed to be relevant to the number of persons eligible to serve on the City Council.

An additional complication to the 7-district proposal is whether the City Council has the ability to adopt an ordinance to implement it. There is no question that when the initial change to voting by district occurred it was authorized by Ordinance. This is because the provisions of the Election Code that would otherwise going to district voting occur by way of vote of the people are waived (regardless of the number of districts) for conversions to by-district elections where a finding is made that it is occurring “in furtherance of the purposes of the California Voting Rights Act of 2001.” Since the City can achieve compliance with the CVRA with 5 districts, the City would be at risk to a challenge if it were to convert to a 7-district system by Ordinance on the basis that is not done in furtherance of the purposes of the CVRA. To avoid that risk, the City could convert to 7 districts (if the City Council so desired) by putting forth a voter measure. However, such a measure would not be timely in terms of complying with the requirement that the new district boundaries be established by April 2022.

Finally, it has been suggested that a solution to the MCAGCC issue discussed above would be to use a system of districting outside MCAGCC, with the base then being an at large district. Presumably, this means the population balancing issue would be disregarded. That alone is potentially an issue, but more significantly the law does not provide immunity to the City for CVRA violations under a system that includes an at large election component as proposed.

FROM: Public Works Superintendent
FOR MEETING: Mar 08 2022
SUBJECT: Amboy Road Bike Path.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council approve the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $110,000.00 and approve the use of a Type 2 bike path.

ORDER OF PROCEDURE:

This project was scheduled 2 years ago, however, was delayed/cancelled during Covid. City Council addressed the need for additional bike paths during the Strategic Planning sessions held in 2021. The project before the Council this evening was the most shovel ready bike path proposed. Staff began confirming all dedications, design, material availability, and cost as requested. Staff is now ready to proceed with construction with a type 2 bike path beginning at Utah Trail and ending at Sunmore Parkway. Type 2 bike paths are connected to the edge of roadway, traveling in both directions, separated by striping. This type of bike path is similar to the recent Utah Trail Bike Path project. This project will create 5990 ft of bike path along Amboy Rd, connecting the Sunmore Estates neighborhood to the existing Utah Trail and Amboy Road bike paths. This project will be completed with in house staff and equipment, allowing for lower cost.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

None
ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose to deny the expenditure.
