It is required that the City Council conduct a public hearing to allow the City Council to consider the Engineer's Report and to receive input from the public on this item prior to ordering the levying and collection of assessments.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City of Vallejo has 27 Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs), thirteen of which were established in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (1972 Act), and fourteen of which were established in accordance with the Improvement Act of 1911 (1911 Act). These districts require annual determination of each district’s costs, and allocation of these costs by means of annual assessment to the dwelling units within each district. The City Council will be considering the Ridgecrest Landscape Maintenance District and the 1972 Act districts under separate Council actions.

Previous City Council actions formed the 1911 Act LMDs and set a maximum annual assessment rate as determined by the City. The creation of these LMDs was approved by a majority of the parcel owners at the time of each LMD’s formation. The City has not exceeded the authorized maximum assessment rate for any LMD. The LMDs formed pursuant to the 1911 Act are exempt from the procedures and approval process of

Proposition 218 until such time that it is necessary to exceed the authorized maximum approved rate.

The attached Engineer's Report, prepared by SCI Consulting Group, Inc., provides this information.

Assessments for the 1911 Act Maintenance Districts are determined by applying the established assessment rate to each $100.00 of assessed value of each parcel.

The assessments are collected by the County of Solano and forwarded to the City for deposit into specific fund accounts for each district. Assessments are expended on landscape maintenance, repair of damage caused by vandalism or natural occurrence, site rehabilitation, improvements, water, utilities, and City administration and inspection costs.

The approved Fiscal Year 2024-25 and the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessment rates are as follows:

The assessment rates for all of the LMDs are proposed to remain the same as in FY 2024-2025. The overall assessed value of a majority of the properties within the LMDs has increased by 4.74% since last year’s determination. The current assessed value for these properties is $1,343,987,425. Projects will focus in areas such as:
• Improving landscape services
• Reducing water costs
• Street tree maintenance
• Additional rehabilitation of ornamental landscape and plant replacement • Reducing graffiti and other common area blight

All of the costs associated with the above landscape maintenance districts are paid by the assessments levied upon the parcels within those districts. The amount of funds projected to be assessed for these 1911 Act Districts in FY 2025-2026 is $1,608,030.52.

The FY 2025-26 Engineer's Report for the 1911 Act LMDs is included as an attachment to this staff report and is also on file in the City Clerk’s Office (3rd floor) and in the Department of Public Works (4th Floor), City Hall, 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from this action on the General Fund.

Landscape District budgets are separate from the City’s General Fund. Landscape Maintenance District assessments finance the maintenance of the districts. The Public Works Department costs for labor and materials associated with the Landscape Maintenance Districts are charged to the individual district budgets.

All City costs associated with maintaining and administering the Districts are covered by the annual assessments.

The financial health of the previously identified districts has been described in the Engineer's Report. The FY 2025-26 proposed assessments in the total amount of $1,608,030.52 are adequate to maintain the current minimal service levels and sustain the required operating reserves of the 1911 Act LMDs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California 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.

City of Vallejo
Landscape Maintenance Districts
Overview Report, FY 2025-2026

Introduction
Overview
The City of Vallejo (the “City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to provide and maintain the improvements within the fo urteen (14) separate landscape maintenance districts (“District” or “Distric ts”). The Districts have been fo rmed between the years 1977 and 1981 pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911, Part 3 of Division 7 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1911 Act”). The Districts are as follows:
 Cimarron Hills/Madigan Ranch
 College Hills
 Seaview (Costa del Rio)
 Glen Cove I/II
 Greenmont-Seaport Hills
 Hunter Ranch I/II
 Monica Place
 Ridegecrest
 Somerset I/II
 Somerset III
 Springtree
 Summit II
 Town & Country I
 Woodridge
This Overview Report (the “Report”) describes the Districts, any changes to the Districts, and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The proposed assessments are based on the estimated cost to maintain the improvements within each District. The Report also details each District’s landscaped improvements, financial information, budget and boundaries.

The Report contains a section for recommenda tions and analysis based on the financial information presented for each District.

The various improvements provided and assessed wi thin each District may include local street lighting, local landscaping improvements and special services. All local landscaping improvements maintained by the Districts and associated with ea ch District were either installed as a condition of development for properties within the District or were installed for the benefit of the properties within the Districts. The landscaping improvemen ts associated with each District may include parkways, perimeters, entryways, medians, slopes , retention and detention basin areas, internal landscaped amenities, neighborhood parks, open space areas and other easements and public right-of-ways within the Districts.

Landscape Maintenance Districts
Overview Report, FY 2025-2026

I m p r o v e m e n t s w i t h i n e a c h D i s t r i c t m a y a l s o include turf, ground cover, shrubs and trees, irrigation systems, lighting, water features, en try monuments, drainage systems and associated appurtenances. Special services provided in clude tree trimming, graffiti removal, weed abatement and landscape maintenance of flood control areas, operations, administration and all services and maintenance required to keep th e improvements in a healthy, vigorous, and satisfactory condition.

Similar to landscape improvements, street ligh ting improvements funded through District assessments were installed for th e benefit of properties within each of the Districts. The assessments in each District provide for the main tenance, operation and energy costs related to their specific street light improvements.

Assessment Process
This Report was prepared to establish the budge ts for the continued maintenance and services expenditures that would be funded by the proposed 2025-2026 assessments. This Report and the proposed assessments have been made pursuant to the provisions of the 1911 Act.

In each subsequent year for which the assessments will be continued, the City must determine the budgets and costs for the upcoming year and allocate these costs to parcels within each District. This Report includes this information. After the Report is completed, the Council may approve the proposed assessments and establish the date for a public hearing on the continuation of the assessments. If the Council approves the proposed assessments by resolution, a notice of public hearing must be published in a local paper.

Following the minimum 10-day time period after publishing the notice, a public hearing is held for the purpose of allowing public testimony about the proposed continuation of the assessments.

This hearing is currently scheduled for June 10, 2025. At this hearing, the Council would consider approval of a resolution ordering the levy of assessments for fiscal year 2025-2026. If so confirmed and approved, the assessments would be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

Overview Report
Beginning in 2011-12, SCI Consulting Group be came the Assessment Engineer for these Assessments. To maintain an accurate reference and legally defensible record of the Assessments, pertinent language used in the previous Overview Reports has been retained herein, and the fundamental methodology has been maintained, essentially verbatim.

City of Vallejo
Landscape Maintenance Districts
Overview Report, FY 2025-2026

Legal Requirements
All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1911 Act and are in compliance with the provi sions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (Proposition 218).

The 1911 Act provides that assessments be determined by applying the established assessment rate to each one hundred dollars of assessed value of each parcel.

On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, which subsequently became a California Constitutional Amendment (Articles XIIIC and XIIID). Proposition 218 established additional requirements with respect to taxes, fees and assessments levied by California agencies. All new and existing assessments (with some exceptions) are required to comply with the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIIC & XIIID.

Pursuant to the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 and property owner balloting for the assessments is not required until such time that the assessments are increased. Specifically, the City determined that all improvements and the annual assessments originally established for the District were part of the conditions of property development and approved by the original property owner (developer). As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b), all the property owners approved the existing District assessments at the time the assessments were created (originally imposed pursuant to a 100% landowner petition). Therefore, the existing assessment amount (the maximum assessment ra te for each District identified in this Report) is exempt from the procedural requirements Article XIIID Section 4.

The current maximum assessment rates per each one hund red dollars of assessed value of each parcel were originally approved by the property owners. Accordingly, any assessment amount equal to or below the maximum amount is considered an exempt assessment pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b). The annual assessments for this fiscal year 2025-2026 are significantly less than the maximum assessment allowed. The proposed assessment for any fiscal year may be incr eased over the previous fiscal year provided the assessment rate does not exceed the maximum assessme nt rate for each District . Any proposed new or increased assessment that exceeds th e current maximum assessment shall comply with all provisions of Article XIIID Section 4 including a property owner protest proceeding (property owner assessment balloting).

Method of Apportionment
Method of Apportionment
Assessments for the 1911 Act landscape maintenance districts of the City of Vallejo are determined by applying the established assessment rate to each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed value of each parcel.

The word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor Parcel Number by the Solano County Assessor’s Office. The Solano County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify assessed properties on the tax roll. The annual assessments outlined in this Report are proposed to cover the estimated costs to provide a ll necessary service, operation, administration, and maintenance required each year to keep these improv ements in a healthy, vigorous, and satisfactory condition.

Discussion of Benefit
In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property. This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits.

Proposition 218, which added Article XIIID of the California Constitution, provides as follows:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." Benefit categories have been established that represent the types of special benefit to residential, commercial, industrial and other lots and parcels resulting from the installation, maintenance and servicing lighting and landscaping improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds.

These categories of special benefit are summarized as follows:

A. Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas and Other Public Improvements within the Assessment Districts.

B. Access to Improved landscaped areas and Other Public Improvements within the Assessment Districts.

C. Improved Views within the Assessment Districts.

D. Extension of a property’s outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the Improvements.

E. Creation of individual lots for resident ial and commercial use that, in absence of the assessments, would not have been created.

City of Vallejo
Landscape Maintenance Districts
Overview Report, FY 2025-2026

Case law interpreting Proposition 218 provides en hanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties in three distinct areas:
 Proximity
 Expanded or improved access
 Views
This case law also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The case law also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advan tage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment:
the characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proxim ity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g. general enhancement of the district’s property values).

Proximity, improved access and views, in additi on to the other special benefits listed above further strengthen the basis of these assessments.

General versus Special Benefit
In absence of the assessments, the Improvements in the Districts would not be provided, so the Improvements are “over and above” what otherwise would be provided. Many of the parcels would not even exist if the assessments were not established because an assessment for the specific Improvements within the Districts was a condition of development approval.

All of the Assessment proceeds derived from the Districts will be utilized to fund the cost of providing a level of tangible “special benefits” in the form of landscaped parkways, landscaped medians, landscaped corridors, open space areas and other Improvements and costs incidental to providing the Improvements and collecting the Assessments.

Although these Improvements may be available to the general public at large, the permanent public Improvements in the Districts were specifically designed, located and created to provide additional and improved public resources for the direct advantage of property inside the Districts, and not the public at large. Other properties that are either outside the Districts or within the Districts and not assessed, do not enjoy the unique proximity, access, views and other special benefit factors described previously. Moreover, the homes in the Districts would not have been built if the Assessments were not established because an assessment for the Improvements was a condition of development approval.

City of Vallejo
Landscape Maintenance Districts
Overview Report, FY 2025-2026

Benefit Finding
In summary, real property located within the bou ndaries of the Districts distinctly and directly benefits from closer proximity, access and views of Improvements funded by the Assessments, the creation of developable parcels and from the extension of usable land area provided by the assessments. The Improvements are specifically designed to serve properties in the Districts, not other properties or the public at large. The Di stricts have been narrowly drawn to include those parcels that receive a direct advantage from th e Improvements. The public at large and other properties outside the Districts receive only limited benefits from the Improvements because they do not have proximity, good access or views of the Improvements. These are special benefits to property in the Districts in much the same wa y that sewer and water facilities, sidewalks and paved streets enhance the utility and desirability of property and make them more functional to use, safer and easier to access.

Without the Assessments, the public improvements within the Districts would not be maintained and would turn into brown, unmaintained and un usable public improvements and public lands.

If this happened, it would create a significant and material negative impact on the desirability, utility and value of property in the Districts. Most importantly, without the Assessments, the developed properties would not exist, becaus e the subdivisions and development proposals would not have been approved. The Improvements are, therefore, clearly above what otherwise would be provided and the Improvements uniquely and specially benefit parcels in the Districts in a way that is not enjoyed by the general public or other property. We therefore conclude that all the Improvements funded by the Assessment are of special benefit to the identified benefiting properties located within the Districts and that the value of the special benefits from such Improvements to property in the Districts reas onably exceeds the cost of the Assessments for every assessed parcel in the Dist ricts. (In other words, as required by Proposition 218; the reasonable cost of the proportional special bene fit conferred on each parcel reasonably exceeds the cost of the assessments.) Any general bene fits to surrounding properties outside of the Districts, if there were any, are collateral and conferred concomitantly.

The original determination of benefits to property and the method of special benefit apportionment to property were developed by Willdan Financial Services when the Districts were originally approved by property owners as noted in the Description of Districts section of this Report. The description of benefits and the de termination and apportionment of benefits to property in this Report are consistent with the original benefit determination and apportionment.

The original method of apportionment of assessment and other relevant elements of the original Reports for the Districts are hereby incorporated by reference.

Overview Report, FY 2025-2026

Quantification of General Benefit
Although the analysis used to support these asse ssments concludes that the benefits are solely special, as described above, consideration is made for the suggestion that a portion of the benefits are general. General benefits cannot be funded by these assessments - the funding must come from other sources.

The maintenance and servicing of these improvements is also partially funded, directly and indirectly from other sources including the Ci ty of Vallejo, Solano County and the State of California. This funding comes in the form of grants, development fees, special programs, and general funds, as well as direct maintenance and servicing of facilities (e.g. curbs, gutters and streets, etc.) This funding from other sources more than compensates for general benefits, if any, received by the properties within the assessments district.

The General Benefits from these Assessments may be quantified as illustrated in the following table.

Benefit Factor
Relative
Weight
General Benefit
Contribution
Relative General
Benefit
Creati on of parcel s 90 0% 0
Proximity and access to open space and landscape areas 5 10% 0.5 Improved vi ews 5 10% 0.5
100 1
Total Calculate d Ge ne ral Be ne fit = 1.0%
As a result, City of Vallejo will contribute at least 1% of the total budget from sources other than the assessment. This contribution offsets any general benefits from the assessment services.

This general benefit contribution is the sum of the following components:

The City of Vallejo owns, maintains, rehabilitates and replaces curb and gutter along the border of the Districts improvements. Th is curb and gutter serves to support, contain, retain, manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the improvements. The contribution from the City of Vallejo towards general benefit from the maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

The City of Vallejo owns and maintains local publ ic streets along the border of the Districts improvements. These public streets provide access to the improvements for its enjoyment as well as efficient maintenance. The contribution from the City of Vallejo towards general benefit from the maintenance of local public streets is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

Overview Report, FY 2025-2026

The value of the construction of the improvements can be quantified and monetized as an annuity. Since this construction was performed and paid for by non-assessment funds, this “annuity” can be used to offset general benefi t costs, and is conservatively estimated to contribute 25%.

Therefore, the total General Benefit is conservatively quantified at 1.0% which is more than offset by the total non-assessment contribution towards general benefit of 27%.

LOCAL AGENCIES JURISDICTION PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODES 51177-51179.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt an ordinance adding Chapter 7.57 of the Vallejo Municipal Code for Public Health and Safety to incorporate updated Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) as designated by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), in compliance with California Government Code Sections 51177 through 51179.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Due to both destructive and deadly wildfires across California, these updates will provide a more accurate assessment of wildfire risk across California communities and strengthen fire prevention efforts by amending the Vallejo Municipal Code to reflect revised Fire Hazard Severity Zones within the Local Responsibility Area (LRA) as mandated by state law. On February 24, 2025, CAL FIRE released updated FHSZ maps for Local Responsibility Areas pursuant to Government Code Section 51178.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
California Government Code Sections 51175–51179 establish requirements for identifying, mapping, and mitigating wildfire hazards through the designation of Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Section 51178 requires CAL FIRE to classify lands within Local Responsibility Areas into moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria.

On February 24, 2025, CAL FIRE finalized and released updated FHSZ maps for Local Responsibility Areas, including areas within the City of Vallejo. These updates replace prior zone designations and incorporate recent data on vegetation, topography, weather patterns, and historical fire behavior. The updated maps are intended to assist local agencies and residents in reducing wildfire risks and to inform land use planning, building standards, and defensible space requirements.

The updated FHSZ maps identify specific areas within Vallejo that are now classified as Moderate Fire Hazard Severity Zones, warranting additional fire prevention standards per state and local code. To comply with Government Code Section 51179, the City must adopt a local ordinance that formally recognizes these new designations and amends any applicable provisions in the Vallejo Municipal Code, particularly those under Health and Safety regulations.

The ordinance would:
• Amend Vallejo Municipal Code sections under the Health and Safety title to include reference to updated CAL FIRE maps.
• Require adherence to wildfire mitigation requirements for newly identified FHSZ areas.

Date: June 24, 2025
Subject: INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE AND FIRST READING OF A PROPOSED

ADDITION TO THE CITY OF VALLEJO'S MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO

PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY IN REGARD TO FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES

WITHIN A LOCAL AGENCIES JURISDICTION PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODES 51177-51179.

• Support enforcement of defensible space regulations and applicable building code requirements for structures located in these zones.

CAL FIRE conducted a public comment period prior to finalizing the updated maps. The City will continue to provide outreach to affected property owners and residents through mailers, public meetings, and the City’s website.

The adoption of this ordinance will ensure that the City of Vallejo remains compliant with state fire safety laws, enhances public safety, and reflects current wildfire risk based on the latest scientific data provided by CAL FIRE.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact from amending the ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California 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.

CAL FIRE hazard maps do not affect insurance rates or availability Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara issued a fact
sheet explaining that CAL FIRE hazard maps do not
affect insurance rates or availability. A Spanish-
language fact sheet is also available.

For many years, insurance companies have been
using wildfire risk models for determining where they
will write and renew policies, and how much premium
to charge a policyholder -- not the Fire Hazard
Severity Zone maps. CAL FIRE’s maps are required
by law and their purpose is to drive local planning
decisions, not insurance decisions.

Commissioner’s POV: “Let me be clear: The CAL
FIRE hazard maps are not used for insurance rates
or underwriting decisions. But they will empower
communities with more accurate information about
the very real hazards we face. The reality is we all
need to do more to protect our homes and communities from wildfires. When communities know and understand their risks, they can plan and prepare.”
Background: The Department of Insurance is implementing a Sustainable Insurance Strategy aimed at supporting safer communities. Based on feedback gathered from thousands of town halls and meetings with homeowners, businesses, and individual consumers, Commissioner Lara implemented an aggressive approach to modernize insurance regulations to address insurance accessibility challenges for consumers.

Commissioner Lara’s new Safer from Wildfires regulation clarifies what actions you should take to reduce wildfire risks and receive an insurance discount.

Insurance companies use computerized wildfire catastrophe models to determine which homes to write based on the risk of loss. Building on the Safer from Wildfires initiative — the nation’s first wildfire safety discount program — the strategy requires catastrophe models to account for mitigation efforts by homeowners, businesses, and communities, something not possible even a few months ago under outdated regulations.

Learn More: The Department of Insurance fact sheet is posted at CAL FIRE’s Fire Hazard Severity Zone web page where you can learn more about enhancing your property’s fire safety and view current versions of maps.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What do Fire Hazard Severity Zones measure?
The Fire Hazard Severity Zone map reflects “hazard,” not “risk”. The map is like flood zone maps, where lands are described in terms of the probability level of a par琀椀cular area being inundated by floodwaters, and not specifically prescrip琀椀ve of impacts. “Hazard” is based on the physical condi琀椀ons that create a likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50-year period without considering mi琀椀ga琀椀on measures such as home hardening, recent wildfire, or fuel reduc琀椀on efforts.
“Risk” is the poten琀椀al damage a fire can do to the area under exis琀椀ng condi琀椀ons, accoun琀椀ng for any modifica琀椀ons such as fuel reduc琀椀on projects, defensible space, and igni琀椀on resistant building construc琀椀on.

What is a Fire Hazard Severity Zone or FHSZ?
Public Resource Code 4202; The State Fire Marshal shall classify lands within State Responsibility Areas into Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Each zone shall embrace rela琀椀vely homogeneous lands and shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors present, including areas where winds have been iden琀椀fied by the department as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Government Code 51178; The State Fire Marshal shall iden琀椀fy areas in the state as Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors including areas where winds have been iden琀椀fied by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Will the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones affect my ability to get or maintain insurance? Insurance companies use risk models, which differ from hazard models, because they consider the suscep琀椀bility of a structure to damage from fire and other short-term factors that are not included in hazard modeling. It is unlikely that insurance risk models would u琀椀lize CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones as a factor, but much of the same data that is used in the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model are likely included in the insurance companies’ risk models. However, insurance risk models incorporate many addi琀椀onal factors and that change more frequently than those that CAL FIRE includes in its hazard mapping, which is built to remain steady for the next 10+ years.

General

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
When were the maps last updated?
In 2007, CAL FIRE updated the FHSZs for the en琀椀re State Responsibility Area (SRA). Between 2008- 2011 the department worked with local governments to make recommenda琀椀ons of the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones within Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

Why are fire hazard severity maps being updated?
The hazard maps are being updated to more accurately reflect the zones in California that are suscep琀椀ble to wildfire. The hazard mapping process will incorporate new science in local climate data and improved fire assessment modeling in determining hazard ra琀椀ngs.

Where do Fire Hazard Severity Zones apply?
Fire Hazard Severity Zones are found in areas where the state has financial responsibility for wildfire protec琀椀on and preven琀椀on, called the State Responsibility Area. More than 31 million acres are in this area. Under Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021) Government Code 51178 was amended to also iden琀椀fy the Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zones with the Very High in Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

What are the uses of Fire Hazard Severity Zones?
The zones are used for several purposes including to designate areas where California’s defensible space standards and wildland urban interface building codes are required. They can be a factor in real estate disclosure, and local governments may consider them in their general plan.

What are the key elements of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model? The fire hazard severity model for wildland fire has two key elements: probability of an area burning and expected fire behavior under extreme fuel and weather condi琀椀ons. The zones reflect areas that have similar burn probabili琀椀es and fire behavior characteris琀椀cs. The factors considered in determining fire hazard within wildland areas are fire history, flame length, terrain, local weather, and poten琀椀al fuel over a 50-year period. Outside of wildlands, the model considers factors that might lead to buildings being threatened, including terrain, weather, urban vegeta琀椀on cover, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, fire history, and fire hazard in nearby wildlands.

FHSZs are not a structure loss model, as key informa琀椀on regarding structure igni琀椀on (such as roof type, etc.) is not included.

General

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps differ from California Public U琀椀li琀椀es Commission (CPUC) High Fire Threat District Maps?
The California Public U琀椀li琀椀es Commission (CPUC) sponsored map, known as "CPUC High Fire Threat District Map” (HFTD), includes similar factors as those in the FHSZ maps, however the CPUC HFTD Map is designed specifically for iden琀椀fying areas where there is an increased risk for u琀椀lity associated wildfires. As such, the CPUC map includes fire hazards associated with historical powerline-caused wildfires, current fuel condi琀椀ons, and scores areas based on where fires start, as opposed to where poten琀椀al fires may cause impacts.

Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? In wildland areas, zone edges are a result of the way zones are delineated. Specifically, zones represent areas of similar slope and fuel poten琀椀al. Zone boundaries divide zones based on geographic and vegeta琀椀on features that align with fire hazard poten琀椀al; although, at a local scale, it may appear that the immediate area is similar on both sides of the edge. The class value within a zone is based on the average hazard score across the whole zone, so areas that are in the same zone but not immediately adjacent to a local area can have an influence on the final zone classifica琀椀on. Classifica琀椀on outside of wildland areas is based on the fire hazard of the adjacent wildland and the probability of flames and embers threatening buildings.

How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined?
CAL FIRE used the best available science and data to develop, and field test a model that served as the basis of zone assignments. The model evaluated the probability of the area burning and poten琀椀al fire behavior in the area. Many factors were included such as fire history, vegeta琀椀on, flame length, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, terrain, and weather.

What new data will be included in the new model, and how does this differ from the previous model?
A 2 km grid of climate data covering the years 2003-2018 is being used in the update. The previous model used stock weather inputs across the state to calculate wildland fire intensity scores. The updated model will adjust fire intensity scores based on the most extreme fire weather at a given loca琀椀on, considering temperature, humidity, and wind speed. In addi琀椀on, ember transport is being modeled based on local distribu琀椀ons of observed wind speed and direc琀椀on values instead of using a generic buffer distance for urban areas adjacent to wildlands.

General

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
How can I search the Fire Hazard Severity Zone of a property? You can search by address to find your current designa琀椀on on the web at: osfm.fire.ca.gov/FHSZ Why does the model place an emphasis on the spread of embers? Embers spread wildfire because they can travel long distances in the wind and ignite vegeta琀椀on, roofs, a琀?cs (by ge琀?ng into vents), and decks.

Why do waterbodies have a Fire Hazard Severity Zone Classifica琀椀on? All areas in State Responsibility Area, including water bodies, require a Fire Hazard Severity Zone designa琀椀on. The 2007 FHSZ maps zoned all water as Moderate by default. In the 2023 FHSZ model we added a buffer of FHSZ from the surrounding wildland into water bodies to account for poten琀椀al threat of embers to buildings on docks and house boats, as well as varia琀椀on in reservoir height that occurs with drought.

How does CAL FIRE assist Local Governments in Fire Hazard Severity Zones? CAL FIRE’s Land Use Planning Program is a specialized unit that provides support to local governments by providing fire safety exper琀椀se on the State’s wildland urban interface building codes, wildfire safety codes, as well as helping in the development of the safety elements in general plans.

General

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is State Responsibility Area or SRA?
SRA is a legal term defining the area where the state has financial responsibility for wildland fire protec琀椀on and preven琀椀on. Incorporated ci琀椀es and federal ownership are not included. Within the SRA, CAL FIRE is responsible for fire preven琀椀on and suppression. There are more than 31 million acres in SRA, with an es琀椀mated 1.7 million people and 800,000 exis琀椀ng homes.

How is State Responsibility Area determined?
The Board of Forestry and Fire Protec琀椀on (Board) classifies land as State Responsibility Area. The legal defini琀椀on of SRA is found in the Public Resources Code Sec琀椀on 4125. The Board has developed detailed procedures to classify lands as State Responsibility Area. Lands are removed from SRA when they become incorporated by a city, change in ownership to the federal government, become more densely populated, or are converted to intensive agriculture that minimizes the risk of wildfire. While some lands are removed from SRA automa琀椀cally, the Board typically reviews changes every five years.

What Fire Hazard Severity Zones are in State Responsibility Area? All of the State Responsibility Area is in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Lands are either ranked as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

What are the wildland urban interface (WUI) building codes in State Responsibility Area? The WUI building codes (California Building Code (CBC) Chapter 7A) reduce the risk of embers fanned by wind-blown wildfires from igni琀椀ng buildings. The codes for roofing, siding, decking, windows, and vents apply throughout all State Responsibility Area regardless of the fire hazard severity ranking. Ember-resistant building materials can be found at:

State Responsibility Area

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the various Fire Hazard Severity Zones? Classifica琀椀on of a wildland zone as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard is based on the average hazard across the area included in the zone, which have a minimum size of 200 acres. In wildlands, hazard is a func琀椀on of modeled flame length under the worst condi琀椀ons and annual burn probability. Both these factors generally increase with increasing hazard level, but there may be instances where one value is Very High and the other is low, pushing the overall hazard into a more intermediate ranking. On average, both modeled flame length and burn probability increase by roughly 40-60% between hazard classes.

Is the GIS data for Fire Hazard Severity Zones available for download? The data inputs used to develop the Fire Hazard Severity Zones are iden琀椀fied in the Ini琀椀al Statement of Reasons (ISOR) Title 19 Development (ca.gov). CAL FIRE has developed an addi琀椀onal data package which consists of sequen琀椀al modeling steps, including any data inputs that were not already publicly available and referenced in the ISOR. The data package encompasses 34 spa琀椀al datasets and 8 tables, provided in raster, polygon, and table format. These datasets are forma琀琀ed for Esri ArcGIS so昀琀ware, except for four tables provided in Excel. Ten of the datasets are updated versions used to produce an edited SRA FHSZ map following the public comment period that ended April 4, 2023. Upon formal adop琀椀on of the FHSZ map, the final SRA FHSZ geospa琀椀al data file will become available. The data package is available on the FHSZ website Fire Hazard Severity Zones (ca.gov) under the science and methods banner.

State Responsibility Area

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is Local Responsibility Area or LRA?
Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) are incorporated ci琀椀es, urban regions, agriculture lands, and por琀椀ons of the desert where the local government is responsible for wildfire protec琀椀on. This is typically provided by city fire departments, fire protec琀椀on districts, coun琀椀es, and by CAL FIRE under contract.

When did Fire Hazard Severity Zones begin in Local Responsibility Area? Assembly Bill 337 (Bates, 1992) prompted by the devasta琀椀ng Oakland Hills Fire of 1991, calls for CAL FIRE to evaluate fire hazard severity in Local Responsibility Area and to make a recommenda琀椀on to the local jurisdic琀椀on where Very High FHSZ exist. Government Code 51175 then provides direc琀椀on for the local jurisdic琀椀on to take appropriate ac琀椀on.

How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined in Local Responsibility Areas? CAL FIRE uses an extension of the State Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone model as the basis for evalua琀椀ng fire hazard in Local Responsibility Area. The Local Responsibility Area hazard ra琀椀ng reflects flame and ember intrusion from adjacent wildlands and from flammable vegeta琀椀on in the urban area.

What are the requirements for landowners in Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas?
California’s WUI building codes (CBC Chapter 7A) apply to the design and construc琀椀on of new buildings located in High and Very High FHSZs in Local Responsibility Areas. Local ordinances may require igni琀椀on resistant construc琀椀on for remodel projects. Check with your local building department to determine which igni琀椀on resistant building codes apply to your project. In addi琀椀on, Government Code Sec琀椀on 51182 calls for defensible space clearance and other wildland fire safety prac琀椀ces for buildings. Owners are also required to make a natural hazard disclosure as part of a real estate transfer. For informa琀椀on regarding home hardening and defensible space clearance, visit www.readyforwildfire.org.

Does the designa琀椀on of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area trigger the 100-foot clearance requirement?
Yes, per Government Code 51182 unless a local government has passed a more stringent requirement, the 100-foot defensible space clearance applies. For informa琀椀on regarding home hardening and defensible space clearance, visit www.readyforwildfire.org.

Local Responsibility Area

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? In non-wildland areas, zone edges occur based on distance to the wildland edge. Because hazard in these areas is largely determined by incoming embers from adjacent wildland, urban areas that are similar in vegeta琀椀on type and housing density may have a change in FHSZ class as the distance to the wildland edge increases. Areas immediately adjacent to wildland receive the same FHSZ score as that wildland where fire originates, and the model then produces lower scores as the distance to wildland edge increases.

What is the process for developing Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area? CAL FIRE uses the same modeling data that is used to map the State Responsibility Area. The map, along with a model ordinance, are then sent to the governing body for adop琀椀on.

How are the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones impac琀椀ng development? Many of the changes expanding Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas have been supported by the building industry. CAL FIRE works closely with the building industry when se琀?ng various building codes and defensible space requirements, so we are working together to not affect development itself but to make sure development matches the hazards of that area.

When will the Local Responsibility Area Map be released? The Local Responsibility Area map process will happen a昀琀er the State Responsibility Area process has been completed, which is es琀椀mated to occur in winter of 2025.

Why haven’t Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes been classified before in the Local Responsibility Area?
New legisla琀椀on, Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021), now requires the adop琀椀on of all three Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes in the Local Responsibility Area. Previously only Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones were required for adop琀椀on in Local Responsibility Areas.

LRA Legislation Factsheet

Assembly Bill No.337

An act to add Chapter 6.8 (commencing with Section 51175) to Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code, and to amend Section 13108.5 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to fire protection.

[Enrolled, January 28, 1991]

AB 337, Bates. Very high fire hazard severity zones.

(1) Under existing law, the State Board of Forestry is required to classify all lands within the state, in accordance with prescribed criteria, for the purpose of determining areas in which the financial responsibility of preventing and suppressing fires is primarily the responsibility of the state.

This bill would declare that the prevention of fires is not a municipal affair but is instead, a matter of statewide concern, and would make a finding and declaration of the Legislature that its provisions apply to all local agencies, including, but not limited to, charter cities, charter counties, and charter cities and counties. The bill would prohibit that finding from limiting the authority of a local agency, as defined, from imposing more restrictive fire and panic safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law.

The bill would state that it is not the intent of the Legislature to limit or restrict the authority of a local agency to impose more restrictive fire and panic safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law.

This bill would require the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection to identify areas in the state as very high fire hazard severity zones within all counties pursuant to a prescribed schedule. The bill would require local agencies, as defined, to designate, by ordinance, very high fire hazard severity zones in their jurisdiction after receiving recommendations from the director, except as prescribed. The bill would authorize local agencies to include or exclude areas following certain findings and would require changes made by local agencies to be final and not rebuttable by the director. By requiring local agencies to designate very high fire hazard severity zones within their jurisdictions, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the State Fire Marshal to prepare and adopt a model ordinance that provides for the establishment of any high fire hazard security zones.

LRA Legislation Factsheet

Assembly Bill No.337 (Continued)

(2) Under existing law, any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains any building or structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area or forest-covered lands, brush-covered lands, or grass-covered lands, or any land that is covered with flammable material, is required to undertake specified fire protection measures, including the maintenance of specified firebreaks.

The bill would enact requirements of this nature for any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains, any occupied dwelling or occupied structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area, forest-covered land, brush-covered land, grass-covered land, or land covered with flammable material, which area or land is within a very high fire hazard severity zone, as described in (1).

The bill would authorize local agencies to exempt certain structures and would exempt certain land or water areas.

The bill would make violation of these requirements an infraction or misdemeanor, as specified, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime, and would specify related matters.

This bill would require local agencies to notify owners of property of violation and would authorize local agencies to correct the conditions and make a lien upon the property, as prescribed. By creating these requirements, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The bill would permit a violation of these requirements to be considered a public nuisance, as specified.

(3) Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal to adopt, amend, and repeal regulations for roof coverings and openings into the attic areas of buildings in those fire hazard severity zones in state responsibility lands as designated by the director. Existing law requires the director to classify lands within state responsibility areas into fire hazard severity zones.

This bill would instead require the State Fire Marshal to propose, and would require the State Building Standards Commission to adopt, amend, and repeal those regulations. The bill would also require the State Fire Marshal to propose, and would require the State Building Standards Commission to adopt, amend, and repeal, those regulations for buildings in very high fire hazard severity zones in state responsibility lands, designated by the director, and in very high fire hazard severity zones as described in (1). The bill would require roofs on all new buildings and certain existing buildings in both of those zones to be at least a class B roof that complies with Standard 32-7 of the Uniform Building Code, as adopted in the California Building Standards Code. The bill would impose requirements on installers and roofing materials and make other related changes. The bill would exempt historic buildings, as defined, from these provisions.

Increasing Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ)
Area and Designation

Government Code section 51179 requires a local agency to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high FHSZ within 120 days of receiving the identified FHSZ’s from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.

The law does not allow for a local jurisdiction to request changes or provide comments to the State Fire Marshal on the FHSZ designations. However, a local agency may choose to increase the designation of a FHSZ from the FHSZ identified by the State Fire Marshal, or designate areas as having a FHSZ that were not designated in a FHSZ by the State Fire Marshal. This may occur because FHSZ zone edges in the maps and data from the State Fire Marshal are not aligned with parcel boundaries or roads that some may consider for lines of convenance when adopting ordinances. A local agency is not allowed to reduce the designation of a FHSZ classification from the State Fire Marshal (i.e. a local agency cannot make an area designated as High by the State Fire Marshal, Moderate in its adopted ordinance).

However, a local jurisdiction can increase the designation from the one identified by the State Fire Marshal. If a local agency decides to increase the designation of a FHSZ, it may do so if it does the following:

1. If increasing the designation to Very High, a local agency must make a finding supported by substantial evidence in the record that the requirements of Government Code section 51182 are necessary for effective fire protection.

2. If increasing the designation to Moderate or High, a local agency may do this at its discretion.

If a local agency decides to include areas in its FHSZ adopted ordinance not identified as being in a FHSZ by the State Fire Marshal, it may include those areas if it does the following:

1. If including areas not identified as being in a FHSZ and designating it as Very High, a local agency must make a finding supported by substantial evidence in the record that the requirements of Government Code section 51182 are necessary for effective fire protection.

2. If including areas not identified as being in a FHSZ and designating it as Moderate or High, a local agency may do this at its discretion.

ACTION ITEM 9.F.

DATE: June 24, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jason Ta, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON PUBLIC SAFETY STAFFING IN VALLEJO AND STEPS THE

POLICE DEPARTMENT IS TAKING REGARDING RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION

RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on Vallejo public safety staffing

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City Council recently requested information on steps that the Police Department is taking to attract and retain staff. Staff recommends that the City Council receive an update on Police Department staffing and the steps that the department is currently taking and planning to take in the future to attract and retain staff.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On July 25, 2023, the City Council unanimously voted to approve a Proclamation of Local Emergency due to the critically low staffing levels at the City of Vallejo Police Department. The City Council must act at least every 60 days to continue the Proclamation of Local Emergency. As part of a recent Council discussion of the Police Department staffing emergency, the Council requested that the Police Department provide an update on public safety staffing, including plans the Police Department has to attract and retain officers. Below find information on actions the Police Department is currently taking as well as some steps the Police Department intends to consider for the future.

1. How does VPD reinforce staffing?
• Shared Services: Assign a VPD detective to a federal task force. Sharing specialized units like crime task forces, reduces strain on any one agency while expanding service. We plan to fill this FBI Task Force Officer (TFO) position by shift change Jan 2026. Assigning a VPD officer to a Task Force is a force multiplier.
• Structured Overtime: Continue to target overtime for high-crime areas. This approach is effective when staffed during the days and hours when that activity is most prevalent. We are already implementing and plan to continue this practice when we have critical incidents affecting a specific neighborhood, as done previously with proactive patrols in the crest. Structured overtime can also be used to up-staff the POP team to enhance their capacity to address criminal behavior until the team reaches an acceptable staffing level.
• Retention Incentives: Offer incentive pay to existing officers to increase morale and retention. In progress.
• Background Process: Alter current HR hiring practice to continue candidate background investigations until a final job offer is made.
• Tip Line Reward Programs: Expanding programs like Crime Stoppers to incentivize anonymous community reporting, particularly effective for violent crime reduction. The current Crime Stoppers tip line is operational but lacks a monetary reward mechanism. • Technology Enhancements:

POLICE DEPARTMENT IS TAKING REGARDING RECRUITMENT AND

RETENTION

o Automated Report Writing & Transcription Tools: Explore platforms such as Axon to reduce report writing time, enabling officers to return to the field more quickly. Axon has the capability using AI to analyze BWC footage of an incident to self-populate key areas of the initial police report.
o Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs): Continue to use ALPR technology to identify stolen vehicles, apprehend offenders, and as an investigative tool for follow-up investigations. We have a proposed expansion to the Flock technology program to include more condor Pivot Tilt Zoom (PTZ) cameras and more ALPR Falcon cameras. This expansion will require a consistent funding source, such as the general fund.
o Mobile Surveillance Towers: Explore deploying technology monitor traffic corridors, commercial parking lots, and other quality-of-life hotspots. Encourage businesses to implement these in addition to private security. These would be extremely helpful in areas frequently plagued with copper theft (Mare Island, VCUSD schools, PG&E Towers). These devices, FLOCK technology, and Drone technology are key components in the creation and operations of a Real-Time Information Center (R-TIC) in Vallejo.

2. How can VPD increase recruitment, particularly with lateral officers? • Lateral Hiring Incentive: Offer hiring incentives for lateral officers. In progress. • Recruitment Campaigns: Continue to work with Allstar Recruitment to use purpose-driven marketing that emphasizes community service roles.
• Loan Programs: Explore programs that offer low-interest loans to ease financial barriers for recruits and new hire officers.
• Technology Enhancements:
o Virtual Ride-Alongs: Consider implementing mobile apps to simulate patrol experiences for interested prospects. Continue to educate the public using our current Virtra software technology.

3. How can VPD provide better public safety services?

• Civilianization: Continue to assign non-enforcement duties to Police Assistants and IHART staff. This allows sworn officers to concentrate on complex incidents, including violent crime, sex trafficking, and quality-of-life issues like homelessness.
• Retired Annuitant Programs: Engage retired officers part-time in specialized roles such as investigations, training, or traffic enforcement to leverage institutional knowledge and ease staffing gaps. This will be a major topic of meet and confer discussion with the affected labor union (VPOA). • Cadet Program: Revitalize and expand the cadet program to help with traffic control, homeless outreach, community education, and school safety patrols. Currently we are building our grass roots Police Explorer program (ages 14-18) to be the future feeder for the police cadet program. We have struggled to support this program in recent years due to low staffing. In progress with Sgt. Hollis. • Adult & Senior Volunteer and Community on Patrol (COP) Programs: Revitalize the program enlisting adults and seniors with abandoned vehicle checks, minor traffic diversions, and neighborhood patrols, extending the department’s reach. In progress with Sgt. Hollis. • Technology Enhancements:
o Surveillance Drones: Expand the drone program to monitor and safely respond to emergency and non-emergency events. Consistent funding will be required.

• Service Model Adjustments:
o Verified Alarm Response: Adopt an ordinance to prioritize response to alarms only when criminal activity is confirmed, reducing unnecessary dispatches. In progress with the CAO. o Security Guards for Non-Critical Duties: Expand non-armed private security for building watches, parking lot or hot-spot patrols, to free sworn officers for higher-priority response. In progress with PW.
o Loitering with the intent to commit prostitution ordinance: Ordinance prohibits individuals from lingering, remaining, or wandering in a public place with the apparent purpose of engaging in or soliciting prostitution-related activities. In progress with CAO.

4. What support does VPD need from city leadership?

• Mental Health and Wellness Support:
o Continue to offer peer support teams and embedded clinicians, providing trauma care and counseling.
o Develop and offer wellness centers incorporating therapy and biofeedback to reduce officer burnout.
o Continue to fund and provide trauma retreats and wellness resource navigation. o Allow flexible scheduling and recovery time to support officers working in high-stress roles or experience a high-stress event. In progress grant application. • Family and Cultural Support:
o Provide outreach programs to assist loved ones recognize job-related stress to help foster a supportive home environment.
o Rely on and support our VPD Spouses and Loved Ones groups, to continue to run programs such as the “Capoot Closet” which provides donated supplies (such as diapers and children’s toys) distributed to the community by patrol officers.
• Technology Enhancements:
o Continue to offer wellness apps such as Lighthouse to provide private mental health assessments and resource access.
o Provide stress dashboards and biofeedback devices monitor cumulative trauma exposure.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact related to receiving information on the Police Department's recruitment and retention activities.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California 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.
