PROCLAMATION
RECOGNIZING EDUCATION AND SHARING DAY APRIL 19, 2024

SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION (1) FINDING THE DISPATCH MODULAR BUILDING PROJECT

EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15303 (CONSTRUCTION OR CONVERSION OF SMALL STRUCTURES) AND 15304 (MINOR ALTERATIONS TO LAND); (2) FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution (1) finding the Dispatch Modular Building Project exempt from the the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303 (Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land); (2) finding and determining that it is is in the best interest of the City to award a Construction Constracct without using a formal bidding process pursuant to Vallejo Municipal Code Section 3.20.080.F; and (3) approving and awarding a Construction Contract to Whitley Manufacturing Co. in the amount of $485,849 for the Project .

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Due to the building standards that must be met for this project (a communication center is deemed a California essential services building and must adhere to Risk IV standards), and the timeframe in which the modulars are being requested to be delivered, staff contacted companies that provide such services and requested quotes. Of the eight companies that were contacted, only one could meet the requested standards and timeframe for completion of the project.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Emergency Dispatch Center (EDC) is located at 111 Amador Street in a building that serves as the headquarters for the Vallejo Police Department (VPD). On December 13, 2022, the City Council authorized $1.5 million of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for a dispatch center relocation project. Subsequent to authorizing the use of ARPA funds, Council directed staff to look at several alternate locations for the relocation of dispatch functions. Staff proceeded with the purchase of the Motorolla Dispatch Equipment as was approved by the Council to get the project moving.

On October 24, 2023, staff presented several relocation options to the City Council (111 Amador St. Portables, 970 Nimitz at the Fire Administration Building, 400 Mare Island Way, and 2 Florida Street). Council's direction to City staff was to move the Dispatch Center into modular units at 111 Amador. At that time, staff began working with Indigo Hammond + Playle Architects and CSG Consultants to begin the site survey, and management of this project.

In January 2024, the City’s architect for the project, Indigo Hammond + Playle Architects, completed the site drawings for the project and sent informal proposal packages to eight modular companies, requesting

responses by April 1, 2024. Of the eight solicited companies, three responded that they were unable to meet either the specifications or the timeline for completion (Pacific Mobile, Mobile Modular, and Meehleis Modular Buildings Inc.), three were non-responsive (Factory OS, Enviroplex, Modular Building Concepts), and two responded with similar pricing (Whitley Manufacturing Co. and ModTech Global Modular).

Vendor Bid Price Delivery Date
Global Modular Incorporated $430,808 November 2024
Whitley Manufacturing Co. $485,849 September 2024

Whitley Manufacturing Co. is the only vendor that is able to deliver the modular units by early September 2024 and will allow for the timely installation of the Motorola communication infrastructure contracted for and purchased in 2023.

Due to the inconsistencies of available supplies in the marketplace, staff issued a Purchase Order to Whitley Manufacturing Co. on April 5, 2024, to ensure the design and build window would not be missed. Design and build processes are typical for pre-fabricated or modular buildings as these firms plan their manufacturing windows to manage the materials and staffing needed. Had the City not entered into the design queue, the City's project would not be included in the current manufacturing cycle and the delivery of the units by Whitley would be delayed to 2025. As of the end of April 2024, the modular buildings were at 70% design completion and on schedule.

Council identified the relocation of the Emergency Dispatch Center as one of its priorities. In order for timely delivery of these specialized Type 4 modular buildings, staff recommends that the Council find it is in the best interest of the City to forego formal bidding procedures in this instance because the delay in selecting the ultimate relocation site coupled with the timing of the Motorolla contract results in insufficient time to undertake the formal competitive bidding process without resulting in significant further delay in the relocation process as well as the possibility of increases in costs associated with further delay of delivery and installation of the Motorolla equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost for Whitley Manufacturing to deliver and install the modular units is $485,849. The cost will be absorbed through funds already allocated to project PD-RAD PD Radio.

$408,878 Cost of modular unit
$ 45,911 Installation of unit

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) because the contract is for the construction of one modular building of less than 10,000 square feet, does not involve the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances, is located in an urbanized area zoned for such use where all necessary public services and facilities are available, and where the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. None of the exceptions to this exemption listed in Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply--namely, there is no cumulative impact from successive projects in the same place over time nor any reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances; the project is not located near a scenic highway, is not on the Cortese list of hazardous waste sites, and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

In addition, this action is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land) because the project will make minor use of land having no or negligible effects on the environment. None of the exceptions to this exemption listed in Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply--namely, there is no cumulative impact from successive projects in the same place over time nor any reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances; the project is not located near a scenic highway, is not on the Cortese list of hazardous waste sites, and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

3.20.080.F; AND (3) APPROVING AND AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO WHITLEY MANUFACTURING CO. IN THE AMOUNT OF $485,849 FOR THE PROJECT WHEREAS, on October 24, 2023, the City Council directed staff to move the Vallejo Police Department Emergency Dispatch Center into temporary modular units on the same site as the Vallejo Police Department Headquarters Building at 111 Amador Street; and WHEREAS, subsequently, the City Council directed staff to look into alternate locations for the location of the Emergency Dispatch Center; and
WHEREAS, the plans and specifications for the Dispatch Modular Building Project have been prepared by the City of Vallejo Public Works Engineering Division under the direction of the City Engineer; and
WHEREAS, the modular buildings are deemed a California essential services building and must adhere to Risk Category IV standards; and
WHEREAS, time is of the essence to receive and install the buildings on site to match the arrival of new communication equipment; and
WHEREAS, in January 2024, the City’s architect for the project, Indigo Hammond + Playle Architects, sent proposal packages to eight modular companies, requesting bid responses by April 1, 2024. Of the eight, three responded that they were unable to meet either the specifications or the timeline for completion (Pacific Mobile, Mobile Modular, and Meehleis Modular Buildings Inc.), three were non-responsive (Factory OS, Enviroplex, Modular Building Concepts), and two responded with almost the same price (Whitley Manufacturing Co. and ModTech Global Modular).

WHEREAS, Whitley Manufacturing Co. was the only vendor that could deliver the units by the beginning of September 2024, which meets the timeline for the delivery of the Motorola communication infrastructure that was purchased in 2023.

WHEREAS, due to the Emergency Dispatch Center relocation being identified as one of City Council's priorities, in order for timely delivery of these specialized Type 4 modular buildings,

Staff recommends that Council find it in the best interest of the City to not follow formal bidding procedures, which would have delayed design, manufacturing and delivery of the modular buildings to 2025.

WHEREAS, pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15303, projects consisting of the construction and location of fewer than four commercial buildings not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use, if not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances, where all necessary public services and facilities are available, and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive are exempt from environmental review, provided none of the applicable exceptions listed in Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15304, projects that make minor temporary use of land having no or negligible effects on the environment are exempt from environmental review, provided none of the applicable exceptions listed in Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby finds the project categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 because the project consists of the construction of two modular buildings that will be combined into one Dispatch Center measuring a total of 1,440 square feet which will be located on a site with a zoning designation of “Public and Semi-Public” and therefore appropriately zoned for such use. In addition, the project does not involve the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances, all necessary public services and facilities are available, and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. In addition, none of the exceptions to the exemption listed in Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply—namely, there is no cumulative impact from successive projects in the same place over time; there is no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances; the project is not located near a scenic highway; the project site is not on the Cortese list of hazardous waste sites; and the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby finds the project categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land) because the project will make minor temporary use of land having no or negligible effects on the environment. None of the exceptions to this exemption listed in Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply—namely, there is no cumulative impact from successive projects in the same place over time; no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances; the project is not located near a scenic highway; the project site is not on the Cortese list of hazardous waste sites; and the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby finds that, in order for timely delivery of the specialized Type 4 modular buildings needed for the Project, staff recommends that the Council find it is in the best interest of the City to forego formal bidding procedures in this instance because the delay in selecting the ultimate relocation site coupled with the timing of the Motorolla contract results in insufficient time to undertake the formal competitive bidding process without resulting in significant further delay of the relocation of the Emergency Dispatch Center as well as the possibility of increases in costs associated with further delay of delivery and installation of the Motorolla equipment.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby approves and awards a Construction Contract for the Dispatch Modular Building Project to Whitley Manufacturing Co. in the amount of $485,849 for the total bid.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager is hereby authorized to sign an Agreement between the City of Vallejo and Whitley Manufacturing Co., with any modifications recommended by the City Attorney, and the City Clerk to attest the signing of that Agreement.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager, or their designee, is hereby authorized to execute future Contract Change Orders not to exceed the appropriated project budget.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Contractor, his agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors. No representation is made that the minimum Insurance requirements of this agreement are sufficient to cover the obligations of the Contractor under this agreement.

MINIMUM SCOPE AND LIMIT OF INSURANCE
Coverage shall be at least as broad as:

1.Commercial General Liability (CGL): Insurance Services Office (ISO) Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an “occurrence” basis, including products and completed operations, property damage, bodily injury and personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $5,000,000 per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location (ISO CG 25 03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.

2.Automobile Liability: Insurance Services Office Form CA 0001 covering Code 1 (any auto), with limits no less than $3,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

3.Workers’ Compensation insurance as required by the State of California, with Statutory Limits, and Employers’ Liability insurance with a limit of no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease.

4.Builder’s Risk (or Course of Construction) insurance utilizing an “All Risk” (Special Perils) coverage form, with limits equal to the completed value of the project and no coinsurance penalty provisions. Such coverage shall name the City of Vallejo as a loss payee as their interest may appear. An Installation Floater is also acceptable in lieu of Builder’s Risk policy.

5.Contractors’ Pollution Legal Liability with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or claim, and $1,000,000 policy aggregate.

If the contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City of Vallejo requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by the contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City of Vallejo.

SELF-INSURED RETENTIONS
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City of Vallejo. The City of Vallejo may require the Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City of Vallejo.

OTHER INSURANCE PROVISIONS
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

1.The City of Vallejo, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations and automobiles owned, leased, hired, or borrowed by or on behalf of the Contractor. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Contractor’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10, CG 11 85 or both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 forms if later revisions used).

2.For any claims related to this project, the Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City of Vallejo, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers. Any insurance or self- insurance maintained by the City of Vallejo, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.

3.Each insurance policy required by this clause shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be suspended, voided, canceled by either party, reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City of Vallejo.

4.The limits of Insurance required in this agreement may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess Insurance. Any umbrella or excess Insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the City of Vallejo before the City’s own Insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured. Contractor agrees to endorse the City of Vallejo as an Additional Insured on the Umbrella or Excess policy, unless the Certificate of Insurance states the Umbrella or Excess policy provides coverage on a “Follow Form” basis.

5.The City of Vallejo reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

CLAIMS MADE POLICIES
If any coverage required is written on a claims-made coverage form:

1.The retroactive date must be shown, and this date must be before the execution date of the contract or the beginning of contract work.

2.Insurance must be maintained, and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of contract work.

3.If coverage is cancelled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the contract effective, or start of work date, the Contractor must purchase extended reporting period coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of contract work.

4.A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted to the City of Vallejo for review.

5.If the services involve lead-based paint or asbestos identification/remediation, the Contractors Pollution Liability policy shall not contain lead-based paint or asbestos exclusions. If the services involve mold identification/remediation, the Contractors Pollution Liability policy shall not contain a mold exclusion, and the definition of Pollution shall include microbial matter, including mold.

ACCEPTABILITY OF INSURERS
Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state with a current Best rating of no less than A:

VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the City of Vallejo.

WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
Contractor hereby agrees to waive rights of subrogation which any insurer of Contractor may acquire from Contractor by virtue of the payment of any loss. Contractor agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation. The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City of Vallejo for all work performed by the Contractor, its employees, agents and subcontractors.

VERIFICATION OF COVERAGE
Contractor shall furnish the City of Vallejo with original Certificates of Insurance including all required amendatory endorsements (or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause) and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all policy endorsements to City of Vallejo before work begins. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Contractor’s obligation to provide them. The City of Vallejo reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements, required by these specifications, at any time.

SUBCONTRACTORS
Contractor shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all requirements stated herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City of Vallejo is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors. For CGL coverage, subcontractors shall provide coverage with a form at least as broad as CG 20 38 04 13.

ACTION ITEM 9.A.

DATE: May 14, 2024
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Stephanie Sifuentes, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPOINTING ANDREW MURRAY AS CITY MANAGER,

APPROVE AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VALLEJO AND

ANDREW MURRAY AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAME

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution appointing Andrew Murray as City Manager, approving an Employment Agreement between the City of Vallejo and Andrew Murray and authorizing the Mayor to execute same.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City Council has completed the recruitment and selection process for City Manager. Adoption of the resolution to appoint Andrew Murray to City Manager and approval of the Employment Agreement will ensure the continuity of City management.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
When previous City Manager, Michael Malone, announced his retirement, Council directed staff to contract with an outside firm to conduct a recruitment and selection process to find Vallejo's next city manager. This recruitment and selection process included a nationwide search, community and staff input via electronic surveys, as well as both in-person and virtual townhalls. Final interviews consisted of three panels: Council panel, Staff panel, and a Community panel.

The firm received a total of 38 applications. Of those 38 who applied, there were 17 who were qualified and participated in a phone screening. Council reviewed application materials and narrowed the pool down to 6 candidates to move forward in the interview process. After considerable review and discussion regarding all the candidates' backgrounds, experience, interviews and all input provided by staff and community members, Council has determined it is in the best interest of the City to appoint Andrew Murray as the next City Manager of the City of Vallejo. A copy of the Employment Agreement setting forth the term of agreement, compensation and benefits is attached.

In addition to standard terms and conditions of employment, the Agreement provides for the following salary and benefits:
• Term twenty-four (24) months
• Base Salary: $303,000 annual salary (approved by Council action on the Salary Schedule on February 13, 2024)
• Administrative leave allowance of 80 hours pro-rated per calendar year • Sick leave accrual rate of 12 hours per month
• Annual leave accrual rate of 200 hours per calendar year • Life Insurance and Death & Disability Insurance benefit equal to that of the Unrepresented Employee Group
• Auto Allowance of $375 per month

Date: May 14, 2024
Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPOINTING ANDREW MURRAY AS CITY MANAGER,

APPROVE AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VALLEJO

AND ANDREW MURRAY AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAME

Page 2 ends

FISCAL IMPACT
The previous City Manager annual salary rate was $278,000 and was budgeted as such for FY 23-24. The current City Manager salary rate of $303,000 was approved by Council on February 13, 2024 and will be budgeted accordingly beginning in FY 24-25. There is a net salary increase of $25,000 per year. If this position is filled on May 20, 2024, the anticipated cost for the salary increase excluding benefits for the remainder of FY 23-24 would be roughly $2,880 which will be covered by vacancy savings.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

ACTION ITEM 9.B.

DATE: May 14, 2024
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Beverli Marshall, Interim City Manager
Flor Magallanes, Administrative Analyst II
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING RULEBOOK

TO IMPLEMENT A TWO-YEAR PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING CYCLE

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution amending the Participatory Budgeting Rulebook to implement a 2-year Participatory Budgeting Cycle

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Considering both professional expertise and public input, the Participatory Budgeting Steering Committee has directed staff to streamline and enhance the PB process to maximize its efficiency and impact. The proposed changes to the Rulebook aim to elevate community engagement opportunities and amplify the financial influence on the PB project budget, aligning closely with the program's overarching goals of enhancing our city, fostering community engagement, transforming democracy, and promoting governmental transparency and accessibility.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In 2020, in response to the economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Vallejo decided to reduce the total project budget for Participatory Budgeting (PB) from $1,000,000 to $500,000 to mitigate the financial strain on municipal resources. This adjustment underscores the City of Vallejo’s commitment to fiscal prudence and flexibility, providing an important context for considering the transition to a two-year PB process.

In 2020, the City of Vallejo engaged a consultant, Management Partners, to conduct a comprehensive review of the Participatory Budgeting (PB) program. This review aimed to enhance the PB process and optimize the staff efficiency dedicated to the program. Management Partners interviewed various stakeholders and examined pertinent documents, including insights from City consultant Belinda Lyons-Newman of Lyons- Newman Consulting, who facilitated PB proposal development meetings.

During the proposal development phase for FY 2019-2020, Lyons-Newman Consulting conducted a survey among program participants to gather feedback. Management Partners analyzed the survey responses, along with input from budget delegates and the PB Steering Committee, to assess the effectiveness of the PB program.

The observations and recommendations from Management Partners, along with the survey feedback from Lyons-Newman Consulting, community input, and participant demographic data from Cycles 7 and 8, were presented to the Participatory Budgeting Steering Committee (PBSC).

Considering both professional and community feedback, staff and an ad-hoc committee of the PBSC proposed a framework for transitioning to a two-year cycle. The framework seeks to develop an overarching PB process geared towards delivering impactful projects for the community intended to:

Date: May 14, 2024
Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING RULEBOOK

TO IMPLEMENT A TWO-YEAR PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING CYCLE

Page 2 ends

• Accumulate funding over two fiscal years to maintain a $1 million budget. • Dedicate one year for highlighting project implementation while continuing outreach and education efforts.
• Dedicate one year for the development and voting on thoroughly vetted comprehensive proposals, ensuring efficient project implementation.

Acknowledging the need for an improved PB strategy, the PBSC demonstrated an understanding of the PB process's challenges and reached a consensus in favor of the recommendation.

PB Project Funding
Transitioning to a two-year cycle will significantly bolster the efficacy of PB initiatives by optimizing project funding allocation. Currently, the PB project budget stands at $500,000 per fiscal year. Adopting a two-year cycle would lead to the accumulation of $1 million in project funding over the same period.

Under the existing PB guidelines, program and service projects and capital infrastructure endeavors are subject to maximum allocation limits of 7.5% and 30% of the total project funding, respectively. With a historical total project budget of $1 million, this translates to maximum funding requests of $75,000 for program and service projects and $300,000 for capital infrastructure projects.

Historically, program and service projects have typically requested between $55,000 and $75,000 to ensure the successful execution of one-year projects. Capital infrastructure projects, capped at $300,000, already encounter obstacles in project realization due to the inherently higher costs associated with such initiatives.

Maintaining the status quo of a one-year cycle would constrain the total project budget to $500,000, effectively halving individual project budget allocations. This would unduly burden PB projects, impeding their ability to address community needs effectively.

Project Implementation Year
The PBSC and staff recognize the necessity of allocating one year within the proposed two-year PB cycles solely for project implementation and reporting, thereby enhancing public transparency. During this designated period, efforts will be devoted to executing selected projects and providing consistent public reports on their outcomes. Concurrently, ongoing activities will include idea collection, community outreach, pre-qualification of local non-profits, and educational initiatives.

Research conducted by Management Partners emphasizes the importance of this approach. Public feedback, as well as report findings, align with staff direction to dedicate one year to implementation and reporting of winning projects. While the PB process has effectively fostered robust public engagement and idea generation, it has thus far lacked a focused mechanism for reporting results and outcomes. As highlighted in interviews, the PB process possesses strong foundational elements, evident in the national awards and recognition bestowed upon the City of Vallejo since 2015. However, feedback from the PB Steering Committee and delegates, collected at the conclusion of Cycle 7, emphasizes the community's interest in receiving information regarding the results from each of the program's previous eight cycles. Regrettably, the City has faced limitations in monitoring and tracking this information, impeding its ability to provide comprehensive reports on the outcomes of each cycle.

Implementing a dedicated year for project execution and reporting within the PB cycle would address this challenge by providing the necessary time and resources to monitor and track project outcomes effectively. By prioritizing transparency and accountability in this manner, the PB process can enhance its ability to demonstrate the tangible impact of PB initiatives and ensure informed decision-making by stakeholders.

TO IMPLEMENT A TWO-YEAR PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING CYCLE

Process Year
In addition, another fiscal year within the proposed two-year cycle will be dedicated to enhancing the public engagement process by focusing on idea-collection, volunteer recruitment, comprehensive proposal development, and the voting phase. By extending the cycle to one year, we aim to address opportunities for improvement in engaging implementing partners earlier in the process. This extension will facilitate greater involvement of implementing partners responsible for project execution, enabling the sharing of crucial information with participants.

Based on feedback from the Management Partners report, several challenges have been identified in the stakeholder survey and interviews. Participants noted the value of providing more time between phases, suggesting a need for improved coordination and pacing throughout the PB process.

Moreover, participants highlighted Budget Delegates' difficulty in drafting project descriptions, citing time constraints and the demanding nature of research. This challenge underscores the need for improved support mechanisms to facilitate the creation of comprehensive project proposals.

In light of these challenges, dedicating an additional fiscal year within the PB cycle presents solutions to enhance the process. Extending the cycle allows for improved coordination between phases, affording stakeholders more time to develop comprehensive project proposals and reflect on the project list. Moreover, involving implementing partners earlier in the process ensures alignment with feasibility considerations and enhances project viability. This restructuring aims to address key challenges identified, fostering a more robust and effective PB program.

Rulebook Changes
The Participatory Budgeting process is governed by a PB Rulebook. The PBSC has the authority to propose changes to the Rulebook with approval from a quorum of the Committee. City Council then considers and can approve the proposed changes via a majority vote. The Rulebook was last updated and adopted by the City Council in June 2022.

The recommended changes allow for increased program flexibility while maintaining the integrity of the Rulebook; the intention is to keep the spirit of the Rulebook intact while making the bare minimum changes needed to move forward with a two-year cycle for Cycle 9.

The recommendations outlined below were reviewed and approved by the Participatory Budgeting Steering Committee on February 21, 2024.

(Rulebook page 3)
Changes:
• Bullet point #4- Replace “year’s” with “cycle’s”
Rationale: Substitute “year” with “cycle” to indicate the change from a yearly process to a two-year cycle.
• Eliminate “2022” from PB Allocation & Eligibility chart Rationale: Eliminating the year will remove the requirement to update the chart yearly while still prompting the reader to understand that project implementation begins in July.

• Include a section titled “Timeline”

Timeline
Two-year Cycle
A cycle within the Participatory Budgeting (PB) program framework refers to a structured period lasting two consecutive fiscal years.

• Process Year: The first year of the cycle is dedicated to proposal development and voting. During this year, community members submit project ideas, proposals are vetted, and projects are selected for implementation.

• Project Implementation Year: The second year of the cycle is designated for project implementation, wherein selected projects are executed, monitored, and reported upon, ensuring transparent and accountable utilization of allocated funds.

Rationale: by defining a two-year cycle in the rulebook, we provide clarity and transparency regarding the structure and timeline of the PB process.

(Rulebook page 5)
Changes:
• Modifications to the months within the individual PB stages.

Rationale: Modifications to the months will help stakeholders understand the different phases of the PB process, specifically distinguishing between the idea-collection, proposal development, and voting phase in the first year and the project implementation phase in the second year. This clarity facilitates effective planning and participation in each phase of the process.
• Idea Collection, Proposal Development, and Voting stages include “Process Year” Rationale: Notifies the reader that the respective stage is included in the Process year of a cycle. • Evaluation & Monitoring stage includes “Project Implementation Year” Rationale: Notifies the reader that the Evaluation & Monitoring stage is included in the Project Implementation Year.
• Idea Collection stage to include: “*Idea collection for the following cycle runs concurrently with project implementation year.”
Rationale: Expanding the idea collection process to run concurrently with the implementation process promotes opportunities for continuous public engagement. Ideas for a cycle will be collected up until a set deadline. The day after that deadline, idea collection efforts will continue for the following cycle. This is done to promote continuous community engagement.
• Voting stage to include “**Exact start and end dates of vote phase are subject to change” Rationale: Allows for potential expansion of the Vote phase beyond the previously established two-month vote span.

Rules: How Does it Work?....……. …………………………….……………......6 Roles & Responsibilities: Who Does What?... ……………………….....10 Participatory Budgeting in Vallejo
In 2012, the Vallejo City Council established the first city-wide Participatory Budgeting (PB) process in the United States. Through PB, Vallejo residents and stakeholders develop project proposals in collaboration with City staff, residents vote on projects, and the list of the projects that receive the most votes are submitted to City Council for consideration as part of the annual City budget.

Applying Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) rules and guidelines that target low- to moderate-income residents, a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the allocated Measure B funding for PB projects shall be designated for program and service proposals receiving the most votes. A maximum of eighty percent (80%) of the allocated Measure B funding for PB projects shall be designated for capital infrastructure and durable projects.

Goals

1. Improve our city
•Improve the infrastructure of the City, assist in enhancing the public safety of citizens, and to improve the quality of life for residents through the creation of and payment for projects without the expenditure of Measure B funds for salary
expenses.
•Build a new spirit of civic pride and raise the profile of Vallejo on the regional, state, and national levels.

2. Engage our community
•Ensure that all members of our community have a voice. •Engage those who are traditionally underrepresented in politics, who face obstacles to participating, or who feel disillusioned with the political process.
•Increase public involvement in civic life in Vallejo.

3. Transform our democracy
•Empower Vallejoans with the skills and knowledge they need to shape our city’s future.
•Build leadership from the bottom up and forge deeper ties between residents, neighborhoods, and communities.

4. Open up government
•Increase transparency and accountability of local government to community stakeholders.
•Improve communication and collaboration between local
government and the community.
•Support a framework within government for decision-making that promotes a more just and equitable city.

Project Eligibility
Projects are eligible for placement on the ballot if they meet the following criteria:
•Provide primary benefit for the public-at-large (or a subset group that is not delineated by exclusive or paid membership in a group, organization, or by participation in a specific activity). Projects that only benefit private individuals are not eligible. Projects may not result in a ‘gift of public funds’ to individuals (See Cal. Const. Art. XVI 3 § 6) and must serve a public use or purpose. Generally, this means that the project results in a direct/primary concrete or quantifiable service or benefit to the public.
•Provide a tangible, permanent benefit that allows for broad public access. This includes a long-term plan to maximize benefit for the full utility of acquired assets (typically sustainable beyond the 12-16 month implementation timeline). This criterion may not always apply to program and service project proposals that otherwise meet existing CDBG guidelines.
•Are designed to accomplish their goals and fulfill their purpose using funds from this year’s cycle’s PB process. Projects may not obligate the City to ongoing funding beyond the PB allocation. If other funding sources are needed to accomplish the project goals, those funds must be secured prior to submission for City review and vetting.
•Are capital infrastructure, capital improvement, durable acquisition, or program and service projects.
oCapital Infrastructure/improvement and/or durable acquisition projects for public purposes, on public property owned by the City of Vallejo within incorporated City limits, and implemented by the City of Vallejo and/or a public agency that manages City- owned property are eligible for funding.
oProgram and service projects implemented by a public agency and/or pre-qualified 501(c)3 non-profit organization are eligible for a maximum of (20%) of Measure B funding allocated through Vallejo’s PB process. All program and service project proposals must meet the existing City-implemented CDBG
guidelines and qualifications; the City must be able to document that all program recipients reside within
incorporated City limits, and that at least 51% of program recipients are low- or moderate-income. Funding cannot cover administrative, overhead, or routine maintenance costs. oIndividual proposals may propose either capital
infrastructure/durables or programs and services, but not a combination.
oA minimum of 20% of available project funding is allocated for program & service projects; if/when the 20% minimum has been reached, remaining funding will fall to the next highest vote-getting project(s).
oA maximum of 80% of Measure B funding may be allocated to capital infrastructure/durable projects.
oRegardless of the total amount of allocated funding, no more than a maximum of 30% may be allocated per capital
infrastructure/durable project.

In addition to these criteria, the following rules apply to projects:
2022 20222022
4 •Projects may not result in the private benefit of individuals or confer value to a non-public entity. Examples of these types of ineligible projects could include purchasing assets for a non-public entity that generate net revenue for a private entity, non-profit organization, or individual(s) that exceeds the costs of the program in which that revenue was generated.
•Future sustainability of a project must not be contingent on market- or demand-driven revenue streams. Examples of these types of ineligible projects could include start-ups or enterprise-driven non- profits.
•Projects must not require a change in City or public agency policy in order to be implemented and achieve the goals outlined in the proposal. Examples of these types of ineligible projects could include studies, ordinance development, or campaigns.
•Projects implemented by non-City public agencies must also include financial or value in-kind contributions from the agency, in addition to “PB funding.”
•To comply with California Government Code § 1090, Budget Delegates who develop projects may not receive any financial benefit from funds disbursed.
•City staff may not initiate, be the main representative of or participate in projects where they will receive a personal benefit.
•For non-City implementing partners, funding may be used for skilled and/or limited-term labor, but cannot be used to cover
administration, overhead, or to fund an ongoing position.Funds will be distributed upfront. Recipients will be required to provide quarterly progress reports.
•Projects may not promote religious views or beliefs.
• Projects must be fully eligible and approved by the City Manager, or designee, in consultation with the City Attorney, before being placed on the ballot. A fully eligible project must contain the following:
oSufficient details to understand the purpose and intent of the project.
oIdentification of Public Benefit(s)
oProposed Beneficiary(ies)
oTotal estimated budget, including the cost to fully implement the project to completion (i.e. bidding, staff, in-kind contribution, etc.), documented by a contractor bid, vendor quote, or other full-cost estimate
oTimeframe for project completion
•Proposals with a non-public agency as implementing partner, or with potential non-profit subcontractors, must be identified and pre-qualified on or before the First Stage Review.
oQualification guidelines for 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations seeking funding for a program and/or service will be developed and released by the City prior to the Idea Collection Phase. oNon-City public agencies must submit a letter of interest regarding specific proposals on or before the First Stage Review in order to be considered during review and vetting.
• Final project determination for ballot placement will be made by the Steering Committee.

6 Rules: How does it work?
7 Idea Collection
•Budget Assemblies are public events where project ideas are collected and will seek to reflect Vallejo’s diversity and include all segments of the community. Assemblies can occur at existing public events, festivals, schools, places of worship, or online, and are facilitated by City staff, Steering Committee members, and volunteers.
•Where possible and appropriate, City staff and the PB Steering Committee will provide Spanish and Filipino translation of materials, which may include interpretation at public events. •Project proposals and ideas from previous PB Cycles can be considered for the current cycle. All proposals require confirmation with the project partner, are subject to evaluation by Delegates and vetting through the 3-stage Review process.

Proposal Development
•All budget delegates and public agencies representatives must attend an orientation session and project proposal workshop. •At the orientation sessions, volunteer delegates may join a committee to discuss and develop project proposals for a certain issue area. Delegates may join more than one committee. oCommittees may consist of volunteer delegates and
representatives from relevant City and public agency staff. oIssue committees may include but are not limited to:
▪Parks, Recreation & Art
▪Public Infrastructure, Safety & Transportation
▪Education, Training & Social Services
•Demographic subcommittees may be formed to ensure maximum participation from people who might not otherwise participate, including: Youth, Seniors, Spanish-Speakers, and members of the Filipino and African American communities. At least four delegates must sign up before a demographic subcommittee can be formed.

Subcommittees will work between issue committees to address the needs, concerns and unique circumstances of specific demographic groups.
•Any resident of Vallejo, its unincorporated areas, or stakeholders in Vallejo - people who physically work in Vallejo, own a business in Vallejo, attend school in Vallejo, or are parents of children who attend school in Vallejo - may participate.
•The Steering Committee, Budget Delegates and Public Agency Representatives will strive to minimize the total number of projects by combining projects that address a similar public need, vetting projects that do not meet the eligibility criteria and rules, and/or prioritizing projects based on greatest need and benefit. A fully eligible project must also undergo a three-stage review and vetting process, with exact dates to be determined by the City Manager’s designee(s) and the Steering Committee prior to the start of the Delegate phase.
•First Stage Review: Budget Delegates and Public Agency Representatives shall submit to the City a completed proposal template or summary (approximately 500 words) for each project, not to exceed 40 total project proposals. City staff and a subcommittee of the Steering Committee will provide general feedback on eligibility issues and concerns but will make no binding determinations.

In order to be eligible for possible funding at the conclusion of the cycle, implementing partners and/or any 501(c)3 non-profit organizations (including potential non-profit subcontractors) who may seek to implement project proposals must submit a
prequalification application and letter of interest to the City on or before the First Stage Review. All public agencies who may be implementing partners must submit a letter of interest for each proposed project on or before the First Stage Review.

Project proposals or non-City implementing partners that do not undergo this First Stage Review are ineligible for continued development or funding in the current cycle.
•Second Stage Vetting: Budget Delegates shall submit to the Steering Committee (or a subcommittee) a maximum of 20 fully- 8 eligible project proposals. City staff will provide extensive feedback and revision requests to the Budget Delegates.

Where needed, City staff and Budget Delegates shall meet and discuss the eligibility determination in an attempt to gain mutual understanding and seek avenues to alter the project proposal for a more favorable outcome.

Ultimately, the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, shall make final determinations on whether project proposals are eligible for the Third Stage Review of the PB ballot.

Project proposals deemed ineligible in the Second Stage Vetting may no longer be developed in the current cycle’s process and cannot be submitted for Third Stage Review.
•Third Stage Review: Budget Delegates in collaboration with supporting Public Agency Representatives shall submit their City staff approved and updated final proposals for review by the Steering Committee.

The Steering Committee will conduct a final ranking of the proposals. Proposals and their feedback letters will be presented to the Steering Committee anonymously. The ranking will determine the final twelve proposals for the ballot.

A maximum of 12 eligible project proposals that include final ballot language will be presented to the public
After the City has reviewed the final project proposals, they may not be altered or combined, except under extraordinary
circumstances as determined by the City Manager, or designee.

Voting
•Budget delegates can present final project proposals to the community at public events and meetings. Participants will abide by Campaign Guidelines as determined by the Steering Committee and the City Manager, or designee.
•The PB ballot shall not contain more than 12 project proposals. •Each voter may cast one vote per project proposal. Voters may cast votes for up to 20% of the total number of proposals on the ballot (rounded up to the nearest whole number). For example, on a ballot with 12 proposals, each voter may vote for up to 3 projects. •People are eligible to vote for projects if they:

1. are at least 14 years old, or
oBudget delegates who have committed their time to the
process but are under the minimum voting age are also
eligible

2. are residents of Vallejo or its unincorporated areas. •The Steering Committee and City staff will research the logistics of implementing alternative voting methods, including, but not limited to:
oAn online voting platform that allows Vallejo residents to be authenticated and vote remotely
oVoting by mail

oVoting at non-PB community events
•At the time of voting, voters must verify they satisfy the eligibility requirements, which will be publicized prior to the vote. A comprehensive verification process that protects the public’s privacy and choice will occur before final vote results are announced. Ballots that do not satisfy the eligibility requirements will be eliminated.
•Voting opportunities will take place on multiple days and in multiple locations. Each voter can vote on one occasion. •No campaigning will be allowed at polling locations.
•The Steering Committee will determine the structure of the ballot with input from the City Manager, or designee.
•City staff, the PB Steering Committee, and appropriate partners will conduct ballot “readability” tests of different ballot designs prior to the vote to minimize confusion among voters.

Monitoring of Funded Projects
•After the vote, a monitoring subcommittee of Steering Committee members will be established to monitor the implementation of funded projects.
9 Amendments
•The Steering Committee may propose changes to the Rulebook with approval from a quorum of the Committee, and final approval by the City Council. The City Council may make changes to the Rulebook via a majority vote.

Subject: Review of the City of Vallejo’s Participatory Budgeting Program

Date: May 29, 2020

Executive Summary
The City of Vallejo engaged Management Partners to provide consulting services to the City Manager’s Office. One of the tasks was a high-level review of the Participatory Budgeting (PB) program, to include recommendations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of staff time allocated to the program. The following summarizes the results of our work. We have offered seven recommendations for improvement.

Project Approach
We interviewed several individuals and reviewed a variety of documents as part of our review, as described below.

Interviews. We interviewed the following staff members knowledgeable about the PB program and the City’s consultant charged with facilitating PB public meetings.

• Anne Cardwell, Assistant City Manager, City of Vallejo • Calvin Cho, Accounting Manager, City of Vallejo
• Terrance Davis, Public Works Director, City of Vallejo • Flor Magallanes, Administrative Clerk I, City of Vallejo • Allison Mattioli, Administrative Analyst II, City of Vallejo • Rekha Nayar, Finance Director, City of Vallejo

We also interviewed the City’s meeting facilitator, Belinda Lyons-Newman, of Lyons-Newman Consulting.

Documents Reviewed. We also reviewed various City materials which included information on previous PB cycles of the program, annual reports, project timelines, project contracts, Council reports, steering committee agendas and packets, and other related documents. We reviewed participant survey responses to learn about feedback from budget delegates and the PB Steering Review of Participatory Budgeting Program Page 2

Committee about the PB program. The survey was conducted by Lyons-Newman Consulting after PB cycle 7 conducted for FY 2019-2020.

Observations and Recommendations
This section contains our observations and recommendations. Our recommendations consider the input from interviewees as well our professional expertise and industry best practices.

Strengths. The PB program is regarded by interviewees and survey respondents as an inclusive, grassroots program. Among its strengths as cited by community members are the opportunity to identify important community projects to fund through the City’s annual budget process, a way to connect local residents to each another, the transparency of the process, methods used to develop the list of preferred projects, the project rating system and the public meeting design.

The process is formally outlined in Participatory Budgeting Rulebook Updated November 2018.

It includes the following steps as shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1. Participatory Budgeting Public Process
Timeframe Actions
June – October Idea Collection. Vallejo residents and stakeholders brainstorm project ideas and volunteer as budget delegates.

October – March Proposal Development. Delegates meet in committees, along with representatives from City departments and public agencies to refine the community’s initial project ideas into a full proposal. Delegates submit the final projects for review and vetting.

“Phase I: Budget Delegates shall submit to the City a summary (approximately 500 words) for each project proposal, not to exceed 40 total project proposals. City staff and a subcommittee of the Steering Committee will provide general feedback on eligibility issues and concerns but will make no binding determinations. In order to be eligible for possible funding at the conclusion of the cycle, implementing partners and/or any 501(c)3 non-profit organizations (including potential non-profit subcontractors) who may seek to implement project proposals must submit a prequalification application and letter of interest to the City on or before the First Stage Review.

All public agencies who may be implementing partners must submit a letter of interest for Project proposals or non-City implementing partners that do not undergo this First Stage Review are ineligible for continued development or funding in the current cycle. each proposed project on or before the First Stage Review.

Phase II: Budget Delegates shall submit to the Steering Committee (or a subcommittee) a maximum of 20 fully eligible project proposals. The Steering Committee will conduct an initial eligibility screening and forward the proposals, along with the Steering Committee’s recommendations, to the City for full vetting. City staff will provide extensive feedback and revision requests to both the Budget Delegates and the Steering Committee. Where needed, City staff, designated Steering Committee members and the Budget Delegates shall meet and discuss the eligibility determination in an attempt to gain mutual understanding and seek avenues to alter the project proposal for a more favorable outcome. Ultimately, the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, shall make final determinations on whether project proposals are eligible for the Third Stage Review of the PB ballot. Project proposals deemed ineligible in the Second Review of Participatory Budgeting Program Page 3

Timeframe Actions
Stage Vetting may no longer be developed in the current cycle’s process and cannot be submitted for Third Stage Review.

Phase III: Budget Delegates, in collaboration with supporting Public Agency Representatives, shall submit a maximum of 12 eligible and/or revised project proposals that include final ballot language, poster photos, etc. to City staff for consideration on the ballot. City staff will concurrently notify the Steering Committee and the Budget Delegates of final ballot determinations. The City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, shall determine final project proposal eligibility.”
April Voting. Residents vote at locations around the City or via online ballots on which projects to recommend to the City Council. The projects with the most votes will be presented to the City Council for funding consideration.

May Onward Evaluation and Monitoring. Evaluation of the process and monitoring of the implementation of projects.

Source: Participatory Budgeting Rulebook Updated November 2018.

Opportunities for Improvement
We have identified a number of opportunities to improve the process, along with specific recommendations, as listed below.

A. Public Engagement Process Changes

1. Engage implementing partners earlier during the process. In interviews, we learned that the program uses a phased approach to gather about 40 project ideas through the initial public meetings held in October and through an interactive citizen/delegate driven research process the list of projects is reduced to about 12 by March each year.

Interviewees noted that there is a pattern of projects surviving this five-month vetting process then failing to advance to the final list because they are deemed infeasible by City staff or the implementing partners due to timing, capacity or lack of sufficient funding. An example cited involved enhancements to a community facility where the costs of the proposed rehabilitation were underestimated and did not include costs associated with regulatory fees. As a result, the project has not been completed.

This issue of engaging the implementing partners earlier was also cited in the participant feedback surveys conducted by Lyons-Newman Consulting. Relevant survey feedback on this item included:
 Engage implementing partners earlier in the process and throughout.  Cut projects earlier (in the process) before so much work is invested.  Provide additional time in the workshops for groups to develop their proposals and reflect on the projects list.

Recommendation 1. Involve the implementing partners who will be responsible for the projects once approved early in the project identification phase so that facts can be shared with delegates and the PB Steering Review of Participatory Budgeting Program Page 4

Committee in advance of decisions being made to improve the viability of the final project list.

2. Collect and present community trends and relevant data to stakeholders early in the process.

Good information is fundamental to the creation the PB proposals and project descriptions. Interviewees noted that project descriptions are one of the more challenging components of the process for the volunteers that serve as PB delegates.

Research is time consuming and it is challenging for volunteers to take time away from their busy lives to gather information, research topics and draft the project proposals.

Staff, implementing partners and the PB Steering Committee members have more exposure to the program, City wide needs and more experience observing PB projects that have been successful and those that have not been successful. Although the projects identified would continue to originate from community members, the delegate experience and the project descriptions would benefit from organized accessible objective factual data.

Recommendation 2. Research and present community trends and relevant data for presentation to stakeholders early in the process to inform delegates and the process of drafting the project descriptions.

3. Conduct pre-planning and create a work plan with a schedule for the year. In the stakeholder survey some respondents noted that it would be valuable to provide more time between phases. The City’s facilitation consultant recommended that the City conduct an internal pre-planning session to review the public engagement process and program design to address stakeholder feedback and also to ensure the staff team has a shared understanding of the process and schedule.

Incorporating a pre-planning meeting into the PB process will do three things. First, it will ensure that the key project management elements have been thoughtfully documented, reviewed and the internal team has a shared understanding of the annual program plan, their roles, and responsibilities. Second, it will provide time for the internal team to anticipate and adapt the program design based on feedback that participants shared at the conclusion of the previous cycle as well as adjust the program design based on updated performance information of the implementing partner projects.

Third, it will allow the internal team to identify staffing gaps and add capacity in a timely fashion to provide time to solicit additional resources or staffing support to meet the annual program needs.

Recommendation 3. Conduct an annual project planning meeting to define roles, process, and schedule for the year.

Review of Participatory Budgeting Program Page 5

4. Create a PB dashboard to report annual results and outcomes. The focus of the PB program to date has been on building a robust public engagement process to grow the community’s project ideas. It has not focused on reporting results and outcomes. As one of the individuals noted in our interviews, the PB process “has good bones” as evidenced by the national awards and recognition the City of Vallejo has received since 2015.

However, according to PB Steering Committee and delegate feedback gathered at the close of the Cycle 7, all expressed interest in receiving information about the results and value added from each of the previous six cycles of the program. Unfortunately, the City has not had capacity to monitor and track this information nor the tools to report the results of each cycle.

The dashboard should be easily accessible to the public for review and provide information summarizing the results of all seven cycles of the program. We are also providing additional suggestions about the process to collect PB project results along with regular project progress reports to City Council later in this memo.

Recommendation 4. Develop a dashboard to use in reporting annual results and outcomes of the approved and funded Participatory Budgeting project.

5. Prepare and document program reviews each cycle. Effective project management includes regular reviews of the program. In early cycles of the PB program, the City conducted and documented reviews that assessed what worked, what should be improved and PB Rulebook modifications. After Cycle 3, however, the City did not document and post this type of information for public review. Annual program reviews do not need to be long or entail complex financial analysis. However, to improve any program, a review of the performance is essential. Adding this step to the City’s program schedule will provide a continuous feedback loop to improve the efficiency of the program and experience for stakeholders.

Recommendation 5. Reinstitute the practice of preparing a brief annual written program review to celebrate the program strengths and successes, share project results, identify improvements to administrative processes, and recommend new methods to engage the public.

B. Design and Manage the Contract Administration Process

1. Develop a contract implementation, monitoring and reporting process. The City does not have a well-established process for developing and implementing the PB project contracts.

Staff reported in our interviews that the PB contracts have not been centrally located and they are hard to find. Moreover, contract drafting is generally only triggered when an implementing partner requests reimbursement of an approved PB project expense. The PB program requires an intense level of staff support along with a high degree of public interaction with an array of stakeholders. As such, after completing a successful ten- Review of Participatory Budgeting Program Page 6

month public engagement process, the lack of a detailed contract administration process makes implementation of Council direction and accountability for the project difficult.

Recommendation 6. Create, document, and implement a PB contract administration process to include time frames, process steps, staff roles, and required tools.

We drafted a proposed contract administration approach below for your consideration in Table 2 below. We will review it with you in greater detail when we meet.

Staffing
The project manager of the PB program has changed four times in seven years. The staffing changes along with the lack of clearly defined PB internal processes have forced staff to triage and react to the needs of the program. The PB program is housed in the City Manager’s Office.

Currently, the following three members of the City Manager’s Office are responsible for the program along with consultant support.

• Assistant City Manager. This position supervises and provides direction to staff responsible for PB. In addition, the Assistant City Manager is responsible for the final review and approval of the proposed PB projects prior to City Council approval each spring.
• Administrative Analyst II. This position serves as the project manager. The project manager develops all of the public relations and communication materials for the program. In addition, the position serves as the staff liaison to the Participatory Budgeting Steering Committee, an advisory board and commission appointed by the City Council. This position is also charged with interfacing with the implementing Review of Participatory Budgeting Program Page 8

partners that are responsible for the projects and all facets of the contract administration including the processing to PB reimbursements to partners for project expenses. • Administrative Clerk I. This position assists with drafting public information materials, attends festivals and community events all summer long in order to mine the community for project ideas, assist with the array of Steering Committee meeting logistics including minute taking and fielding questions from the public about the program, including eligibility information. The position is also responsible for scheduling and setting up meeting spaces for the many community meetings where PB projects are identified, refined, and prioritized from October through March. • Consultant. For the past several years, the City has relied on a professional facilitator to plan, manage, and lead the PB public meetings from October through March.

*Staff is in the process of reviewing internal files to determine if the projects are complete.

Although the City of Vallejo approves funds in its annual budget for the PB program, these funds are intended for project expenditures only. The City of Vallejo does not have a mechanism to document all of the other program costs associated with the program. As a result, the City does not have the appropriate tools to properly estimate the administrative costs to implement the program. Without a complete picture of the direct and indirect costs, the City is unable to proactive identify program gaps to meet the capacity needs.

The City of Vallejo is not alone facing capacity gaps to deliver the program. Harvard Kennedy School Ash Center for Democracy and Innovation issued a paper entitled, Engaging Citizens:

Participatory budgeting and the Inclusive Governance Movement within the United States in January 2016. The document provides a review of these programs nationwide. It names one of the five program challenges is that public institutions lack the resources and capacity to engage (the community).

Review of Participatory Budgeting Program Page 9

The annual PB budget allocation does include all of the program’s direct and indirect costs. To clearly identify the costs, staffing needs, tools, and supplies to cover the program’s full costs a new approach is needed so that the program gaps such as contract administration can be addressed.

Recommendation 7. Create a program budget that provides for the direct and indirect costs of the program.

1 PB Cycle 7: Summary of Delegate Survey Findings Prepared by Lyons-Newman Consulting | April 2020 Lyons-Newman Consulting conducted a survey that ran from March 19 to March 25, 2020 following the last Cycle 7 Delegate meeting. The survey was completed by 12 budget delegates (a similar survey was completed by 5 Steering Committee members). The survey asked 13 questions. Below is a summary of survey findings: 1. The overall experience of serving as a budget delegate was meaningful and worthwhile.

What Worked • Accomplished something good for community • Serves residents in need who do not have their voices heard • Well laid out, transparent, engaging process • Steering committee was “EXTREMELY” helpful and professional Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • Could improve in “multiple ways”

2 2. How effective was the PB Cycle 7 delegate recruitment process? What Worked • Delegates are very interested at the beginning of the process Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • Should recruit more students (high school, college) • Mixed levels of delegate participation, commitment, and general enthusiasm • Use social networking to recruit more delegates • Should invest in marketing to recruit delegates that are more representative of Vallejo • We should reach out to colleges and students to get their participation

3 3. How effective was the PB Delegate orientation?
What Worked • Steering committee members were helpful in orienting new delegates • Clearly laid out processes and procedures • Binders with key information and examples Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • Should be more clear about time commitment up front • Need stronger audio • Need more engagement by City liaisons • Need more youth recruited 4. How effective were the PB Cycle 7 delegate meetings? What Worked • Allowed great balance of supporting all delegates to speak while sticking to agenda • The meetings helped ensure that the deliverables are of high quality

4 Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • Not enough time to work on proposals during the meetings • Need more group time earlier on in the process • Difficult to control the noise level in the meeting • Bring in Participatory Budgeting experts to give training • Timeline for proposals is short and difficult to complete • We need less steering committee input, especially when reporting on proposals 5. How effective was the meeting facilitation? What Worked • Well organized meetings • Information came from a trusted source • Facilitator managed the agenda and group well • “Awesome. The facilitator(s) controlled the schedule, guided the group and managed focus.” Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • Limited time to fully understand tasks including AppCivist and see what other delegates are working on • Seemed rushed. Packed agenda leaves little time for group work • Fewer team building activities • More time to “powwow” and really look at what projects are needed in our city • “PLEASE We NEED more time!!!”

5 6. How effective were emails and meeting notes?
What Worked • Specific action items and next steps in emails and notes • Helpful in maintaining communication with implementing partner • Easy to understand and follow • Delivered in a timely manner without error • Very complete Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • Create a standard format for email subject line and action items 7. How effective was idea sorting and prioritization of ideas? What Worked • Helpful to categorize projects to discuss their importance • Group consensus on prioritization

6 Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • Give delegates the complete list of project ideas submitted by citizens so they can sort themselves • Give more time to review project ideas (at least a week) • Lessons learned from previous cycles not incorporated into this cycle • End idea submissions before the start of the Cycle 8. How effective were PB tools (eligibility checklist, PB matrix)? What Worked • PB tools keep meetings focused and on schedule • Clearly outlined matrix ratings lead to a fair evaluation Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • Need more time to develop proposals and work with implementing partners • Projects should benefit the entire community, not just a small segment of the population; consider updates the wording of need and benefit in PB Matrix to reflect this • Do sample exercises so delegates know how to use the tools • Simplify tools so they are more user-friendly • Screening checklist should be in the front of the binder

7 9. How effective was the proposal writing support you received? What Worked • Help was always available to improve proposals • Great input and edits from staff • Concise, pragmatic and comprehensive feedback from staff Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • The need to re-word feedback from implementing partner seemed unnecessary • Delegates and implementing partners don’t always follow through on commitments • AppCivist hard to use, would prefer to use Word or get more AppCivist training • Project leads felt like they were on their own; all delegates on the project should contribute • A template for final proposals would be helpful. Not all delegates are computer savvy. 10. How effective was AppCivist?

8 What Worked • Helpful to provide feedback directly to AppCivist representative in a meeting • It worked well to write the proposal in Word and then paste it in AppCivist Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • Not user friendly, lots of bugs, it freezes, hard to work with • Does not always save work • More support from AppCivist representatives to support delegates using it • Would be nice if tables didn’t have to be added as attachments • Auto-save doesn’t always work, should have the option to manually save • Delegates need a full day of training • Poor functionality across different browsers—enable cross-browser compatibility 11. How effective was the support from staff? What Worked • “Always wonderful and very helpful!!!” • Prompt in responding to questions or problems • Invaluable • “Thank you, Flor” • Accurate, courteous and respectful and at the same time driving the agenda forward • Effective, knowledgeable, professional, and patient Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • None mentioned

9 12. How effective was the support from steering committee members? What Worked • Mostly present • Provided thoughtful guidance and were personable • Steering Committee Chairperson Pat is awesome Suggestions/Areas for Improvement • Should be more visible at meetings • Need more guidance from steering committee • Social services team did not have meaningful steering committee support • Steering committee members should make a commitment to attend all meetings • Be more upfront about chances of project success • Give more direction on contacts or potential implementing partners • Schedule a one day all-hands-on-deck meeting on a weekend 13. Any other feedback you would like to share? • Clearly lay out process and time commitment at the beginning of the cycle • Increase number of delegates involved • Vote on projects earlier on in the process before so much hard work is invested in a project • City should be more transparent about administrative fees involved with City Infrastructure projects • “This is one of the best public input processes I have participated in over my 36 year career” • Difficult to work with the City as an implementing partner. These projects have been funded but not completed. In future just focus on projects implemented by partners, not the City. • No longer fund City Infrastructure projects. “100% of funds for Programs and Services for the remainder of Cycles 8,9,10!!” • Implementing partners need to be more responsive and committed to the projects • Use Google Docs instead of AppCivist

10 • AppCivist developers need to fix contribution history tab so delegates are aware of which version they are viewing

DATE: May 14, 2024
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Michael Nimon, Economic Development Director
Veronica A.F. Nebb, City Attorney
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2.36 OF THE VALLEJO

MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE ECONOMIC VITALITY COMMISSION AND

ADOPT A RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE MEETING FREQUENCY FOR SAME

RECOMMENDATION

1. Introduce an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Vallejo Amending Chapter 2.36 of the Vallejo Municipal Code relating to the Economic Vitality Commission; and

2. Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Vallejo Relating to Meeting Frequency for the Economic Vitality Commission.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The EVC and staff have collaborated in the implementation of economic development activities and are committed to an ongoing collaboration going forward. Upon reflecting on recent project successes and the duties, powers, and general operating structure of its Commission, the EVC has requested Council approval of four key changes to its operations.
