STAFF REPORT

CITY OF WASCO

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager
Isarel Perez-Hernandez, Finance Director

DATE: December 6, 2022

SUBJECT: Receive and File the Investment Report for the month ended October 31, 2022.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council receive and file the Investment Report for the month ended October 31, 2022.

Background:

This report is prepared and presented to the City Manager and City Council pursuant to the City’s Investment Policy requirements and the California Government Code. The City’s investment policy requires the Treasurer or Chief Fiscal Officer to render monthly investment reports to the City Manager and the City Council and requires certain information about the City’s investments be presented in the report and that the report contains statements that:

1) The City is in compliance with its investment policy; and 2) The City is able to meet its expenditure requirements for the following six (6) months or provide an explanation of why sufficient funds will or may not be available.

The City’s investment strategy continues to prioritize its investment opportunities o n the following; in order of importance:
1) Safety;
2) Liquidity; and
3) Yield

This strategy is consistent with the Government Code and stresses keeping the citizens’ funds safe and available for operations rather than attempting to maximize returns by making riskier investments.

The Finance Department has prepared the Investment Report for the month ended October 31, 2022. This report meets the latest requirements of the City’s Investment Policy as presented to the City Council on June 16, 2020, as well as Government Code Section 53646.

Discussion:

The market value of the City’s total cash and Investments at October 31, 2022, was $58,280,133 compared to $57,947,688 at September 30, 2022. This is a $ 332,444 increase from the previous month ($354,989 increase on the cost basis). The main contributor of the increase is associated with a Certificate of Deposit that matured in October.

As of October 31, 2022, the City has $46 million (79.22%) of its Cash and Investment Portfolio held in the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”), which earned 1.35 % during the quarter (ended September 30 , 2022). This earnings rate exceeded the short - term benchmark. Other cash pools held a combined $6.84 million (11.75%) of the City’s Cash and Investment Portfolio. The City also has $ 1 million (2.64 % of its Portfolio) held by UnionBanc Investment Services (“UBIS”) and invested, pursuant to City instructions, in Certificates of Deposit and Governmental Securities with a Money Market account being used to maximize returns on otherwise idle cash.

The metrics used in the attached report are based on Securities issued by the United States Government. The short -term benchmark of .62 % is the average earned by a 3 -month Treasury Bill during the month ended October 31, 2022, and the long and medium -term benchmark of 1.12 % is the average earnings of 2 -year and 3-year treasury notes during that time frame. Lastly, the one- year U.S Treasury benchmark for the month ended October 31, 2022 was .81%.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to this action.

DATE: December 2, 2022

SUBJECT: Approval of Travel Expenses Exceeding $500.00 for the Administrative Manager and the Executive Assistant 1 to attend the U.S. Department of Transportation Institute Transit Supervisor Certification Training on January 30, 2023 – February 3, 2023, in Hayward, CA.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the travel expenses.

Discussion:

This request is for approval of staff to attend the U.S. Department of Transportation Safety Institute Instructors Course for Transit Training on February 13 - 17, 2023, in Hayward, CA.

The Transportation and Safety Institute (TSI) supports Federal Transit Authority (FTA) by providing training and educational opportunities to the transit industry. This course will provide training for the fundamentals and regulatory responsibilities of transit supervisors to expand Staff knowledge of topics relevant to their roles within the city.

The cost of the training, hotel fees, and food per diems will exceed the Expense and Use of Public Resources Policy limits established by City of Wasco Resolution No. 2006 -2327, limiting expenses to $500.00 per trip. As a result, the City Council must approve the travel request as the expenses for the cost of the trip will exceed $500.00.

Fiscal Impact:

It is estimated that the cost of this training will not exceed $2000.00, including the training and travel expenses. The training cost is contained in the adopted FY 2021-2022 Budget; no budget action is required.

Wasco, CA 93280
Attention: Keri Cobb, Community Development Director
Subject: Proposal to Prepare the 2024-2032 Housing Element Update Dear Ms. Cobb:

In response to the City’s Request for Proposal (RFP), Infrastructure Engineers is pleased to submit our qualifications to prepare the 2024-2032 Housing Element Update and required environmental determination for the City of Wasco to ensure it meets the State’s housing mandates, while being innovative and achievable at its heart.

The Housing Element Update (HEU) will need to demonstrate how it will provide an adequate inventory of sites on which to accommodate new housing units during the 202 4-2032 planning period. The HEU will address the 6th Cycle Housing Element Guidelines and Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) housing unit goals, while also addressing the environmental impacts that the increased housing development may cause as well as t he effects of that increase on the quality of life. In frastructure Engineers is here to assist the City of Wasco meet those challenges in a timely and cost-effective manner.

We Understand – The Housing Element Update will analyze the City’s progress toward meeting the housing goals put forth in its 2015-2023 Housing Element and show how the current and future housing needs of the City will be met in the 2024 -2032 planning period. The HEU will also incorporate all new requirements and housing laws that aim to continue removing barriers to housing production and incentivize the development of housing, particularly affordable housing, and should contain a strategy that analyses the financial feasibility of providing needed affordable housing with strategies on how to develop such housing. In summary, the City expects the chosen consultant to 1) Assess the effectiveness of current housing programs, goals, and policies; 2) Address the production of housing units for all income ca tegories; 3) Identify housing characteristics and special housing needs; and 4) Explain how the City will accommodate the RHNA for the upcoming 6th Cycle; and 5) Identify and comply with new state housing laws and programs.

Our Mission – Since our founding in 1994, Infrastructure Engineers has had a singular mission based on a set of culture principles and fundamentals. That mission is to be the best municipal services provider. Period. Our extensive list of satisfied clients is evidence that we are succeeding in our mission.

Ready to Serve – The Development Services Department at Infrastructure Engineers is taking the lead on this assignment and is responsible for preparing this proposal. Our highly experienced and dynamic team of in - house urban and environmental planners and technicians, housing specialists, transportation engineers, and technical studies experts, are ready to serve the City of Wasco and complete the scope of work as expressed in the RFP. For this assignment, we are partnering with several outstanding firms that are familiar with the City of Wasco and the greater San Joaquin Valley.

Project Approach – Our strategy will approach the project from a “macro” perspective first, or the broader point of view, and will then focus on the specific details, or the “micro” view, as the initial research and studies are completed. For example, to prepare the sites inventory analysis, we will study the overall number of potential housing sites throughout the City on a global scale and then narrow our analysis to a neighborhood level to 42 of 111

perform a more intimate study of the sites themselves. This process will help us maintain an accurate survey and resulting count of potential developable housing sites to which we will apply specific parcel data such as ownership, parcel size, current uses, zoning, proximity to high quality resources, infrastructure availability, and physical features to determine developable potential.

Community engagement will factor gre atly into our project approach. We understand the importance of engaging the community at an early stage in the process. Our team is experienced in the art of coordinating and facilitating a variety of scoping meetings, workshops, charrettes, and pop -up events in both a traditional and virtual – COVID-19-compliant – manner. Our community engagement team will also take the lead in preparing the required presentation and collateral materials necessary for optimum engagement with the public.

With our experience working on complex and challenging projects of similar scope and nature simultaneously – like Environmental Justice Elements, Safety Element Updates , General Plan Updates, and Zoning Code Amendments – our staff possess the ability to work effectively, and efficiently . This includes research, data collection, fieldwork, and analysis. This method of teamwork will make the production of documents and cost efficient.

We also view the various local and state agencies and identified stakeholders as partners in the process of developing a successful Housing Element. Our community engagement and public relations team will reach out to the various stakeholders and will work to keep them informed throughout the process. Outreach will extend to local neighborhoods, elected officials and community leaders both in Wasco and adjacent cities, Kern County administrators, state representatives of th e Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the State Clearin ghouse (SCH), various transportation agencies , including Cal trans, utility companies, Councils of Government (COGs), and most importantly housing and homeless assistance organizations. These could include the Kern County Housing Authority, the California Veterans Assistance Foundation, and the Kern County Department of Human Services, to name a few.

The Core Infrastructure Engineers Project Team – For this assignment, we will rely on ou r Development Services Department and its highly experienced staff to spearhead the preparation of the Housing Element Update, appropriate environmental analysis, and associated documents. Our team of creative and forward-thinking planners, and technicians have the right stuff when it comes to understanding the sustainability of the quality of life and the myriad of environmental considerations that have an impact on the everyday lives of the residents of the City of Wasco. The Infrastructure Engineers project team is committed to working in unison with City staff and the community to ensure that the goals and objectives of the project are met and that the scope of work is performed in a timely and cost -effective manner while bei ng innovative and achievable at its heart.

In addition to our consulting partners, the core team at Infrastructure Engineers will consist of myself as Principal- in-Charge and Planning Manager; our Project Manager, Malia Durand; and our Environmental Manager, Albert Armijo. As Principal-in-Charge, I will also be responsible for quality control and assurance and will be the primary liaison to the City through the duration of the project.

Relevant Experience – The preparation of a housing element update is a complex and time -consuming endeavor that requires hands -on experience and the ability to conduct research, compile data, perform fieldwork, perform analyses, and prepare the conclusions required to produce a comprehensive and detailed document, all the while maintaining frequent communications with City staff, HCD and other oversight agencies, the public, and community stakeholders. This is especially true of the level of work that will be required to update the Housing Element for the City of Wasco and obtain certification by the state. 43 of 111

Proposal for Housing Element Update

D. Firm’s Demonstrated Understanding
Infrastructure Engineers appreciates that a well-executed Housing Element creates a blueprint for a community’s future population growth, residential development and, ultimately, its quality of life for residents. Long-range planning is the key mechanism for communities to identify and pursue great visions for their future. The Infrastructure Engineers team will assist the City of Wasco staff with the preparation of the City’s 2024-2032 Housing Element Update.

Infrastructure Engineers understands that the Housing Element Update will analyze the City’s progress toward meeting the housing goals put forth in its 2015-2023 Housing Element and show how the current and future housing needs of the City will be met in the 2024 -2032 planning period. The HEU will also incorporate all new requirements and housing laws that aim to continue removing barriers to housing production and incentivize the development of housing, particularly affordable housing, and should contain a strategy that analyses the financial feasibility of providing needed affordable housing with strategies on how to develop such housing. The Housing Element Update will include the following analyses: 1) Assess the effectiveness of current housing programs, goals, and policies; 2) Address the production of housing units for all income categories; 3) Identify housing characteristics and special housing needs; and 4) Explain how the City will accommodate the RHNA for the upcoming 6th Cycle; and 5) Identify and comply with new state housing laws and programs.

Our team believes in the critical importance of community engagement and public participation in the development of Housing Element Updates. Our team will engage local constituencies, residents, business owners, and other stakeholders, to capture their needs and expectations related to future residential development and to identify strategies and mitigations favored by the community while meeting the City’s RHNA and California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) goals and requirements.

Staff will conduct an overall review of the of the City’s General Plan to ensure consistency across all the Elements and identify any possible additional Elements that should be amended as a result of the Housing Element Update.

Infrastructure Engineers understands that the proposed Project is exempt under State CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3) common sense exemption, because the Project involves polic ies, programs, and actions to meet the City’s RHNA allocation that either would not cause a significant effect on the environment or incorporates actions that have already been taken by the City. Based on these factors, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, the 6th Cycle Housing Element is exempt from CEQA under the commonsense exemption. Infrastructure Engineers will prepar e the CEQA Exemption accordingly.

Our staff is prepared to attend a minimum of three to five public hearings, workshops, and scoping meetings to support the production, presentation and adoption/certification of the Updated Housing Element and associated environmental documents. Infrastructure Engineers staff has years of experience working together with City staff and the State Department of HCD in the timely development, production, and certification of Housing Element Updates.

For this assignment, we will rely on our Development Services Department and its highly experienced staff to spearhead the preparation of the Housing Element Update, appropriate environmental analysis, and associated documents. Our team of creative and forward -thinking planners, t raffic engineers, environmental specialists and technicians have the right stuff when it comes to understanding the sustainability of the quality of life and the myriad of environmental considerations that have an impact on the everyday lives of the residents of the City of Wasco. The Infrastructure Engineers project team is committed to working in unison with City staff and the community to ensure that the goals and objectives 47 of 111

of the project are met and that the scope of work is performed in a timely and cost-effective manner while being innovative and achievable at its heart.

E. Insurance
Infrastructure Engineers complies with and maintains the insurance requirements of the City of Wasco included in the sample contract in Attachment 1 of the RFP.

F. Firm’s Capability
The preparation of a housing element update is a complex and time -consuming endeavor that requires hands-on experience and the ability to conduct research, compile data, perform fieldwork, perform analyses, and prepare the conclusions required to produce a comprehensive and detailed document, all the while maintaining frequent communications with City staff, HCD and other oversight agencies, the public, and community stakeholders. This is especially true of the level of work that will be required to update the Housing Element for the City of Wasco and obtain certification by the state.

Infrastructure Engineers is currently working on three 2021-2029 Housing Element Updates for the Cities of Huntington Park, Lynwood, and Adelanto, and one 2024 -2032 HEU for the City of Shafter. IE is also preparing the related environmental documents for each of these HEUs. For the Wasco HEU, and because of the changes in State law for the preparation of 6th Cycle Housing Elements, we will utilize a method of research, fieldwork, data collection, and analysis similar in nature to the method we are using in the preparation of each of our current HEUs.

Our experienced staff of housing, planning and environmental specialists have been trained to work on multiple projec ts, in multiple spheres, simultaneously and are very effective in their ability to deliver quality product on-time and within budget. We are not intimidated nor hindered by the level of work we are engaged in and in fact, thrive in this environment. We have achieved maximum efficiency due to our strict discipline, organization, management style and, most importantly, our talented staff. We are confident that our team is the one to deliver a quality Housing Element on time and on budget to the City of Wasco.

review City documents and provide a summary of citywide conditions, resources, constraints, and funding options. Documents include, but are not limited to, the General Plan, Ordinances, Housing Programs and Policies, and related environmental documents. We will identify existing governmental and non - governmental (i.e., environmental) constraints to accelerated housing development within the City and formulate strategies to combat and alleviate these constraints. Infrastructure Engineers will conduct an analysis of the City’s progress towards meeting the identified goals, policies, and programs since the adoption of the current Housing Element in the previous cycle (2015-2023). This evaluation of the existing Housing Element will aid in the identification of existing programs that may require revision or expansion to enhance the efficiency in attaining the goals outlined in the Housing Element. This evaluation will also assist in determining additional programs that may be necessary.

Deliverables: Inventory of information and data in PDF format.

Task 2.2: Housing Assessment and Needs Analysis
Infrastructure Engineers will complete a full housing assessment and needs analysis that is in compliance with state laws. We will obtain and analyze current demographic, economic, infrastructure and housing data needed to complete this task. The assessment will include the following:
• Identification of the Study Area: This includ es the entire City for which the Housing Needs Assessment applies.
• Evaluation of Demographics & Economics: The profile will provide in -depth details about the market areas, including population and household characteristics, development characteristics, economic characteristics, current housing stock, and the housing market conditions. • Evaluation of Community and Public Services: Our team will provide an overview of services available to residents, including, but not limited to, parking alternatives, public transit, shopping, medical, public safety, recreational facilities, utilities, and public infrastructure . These identified services will be evaluated to determine how they affect potential demand for housing. • Housing Stock Inventory: This section will include housing stock characteristics that are analyzed and displayed for the study areas. These characteristics include, but are not limited to, housing tenure (renter vs. owner), age of housing, general housing condition, housing values, rent levels, etc. The analysis will include housing gap estimates for each target market by identifying net gain, decline and demand of market -rate and income -restricted housing utilizing various levels of income stratifications.

Our team will also take an inventory of rental housing supply that includes multifamily rental housing properties in the study areas, such as government-subsidized and affordable Tax Credit properties, as well as market-rate properties.

We will take inventory of for-sale housing supply that includes data for the subject market from sources such as Multiple Listing Services, Realtor.com, and the local tax assessor. Data will be collected and analyzed for both historical sales (typically from 2010 to current) and available information on for- sale housing alternatives. This will provide valuable information such as sales trends, including pricing, and the product that is currently available for purchase.

Finally, we will identify projects in the development pipeline. 69 of 111

• Stakeholder Interviews: We will conduct interviews and obtain local insight from area stakeholders regarding
current housing conditions and trends, to identify
anticipated housing needs, and to determine if there are barriers that exist that may limit residential development in the market. Stakeholders will be asked for input on
what housing products or markets should be a priority for the area. This insight is used in conjunction with
quantitative data to assess market issues. The use of
surveys disseminated to developers, stakeholders and
throughout the City’s demographic population will aid in the collection of public opinion.
• Housing Gap Analysis (Demand Estimates): Based on the existing housing stock within the study area and both current and projected demographics, a housing gap analysis will be completed for the primary study area (PSA). The gap analysis will determine whether a deficit or surplus of housing units exists for households at various income bands for rental and for -sale housing. The demand analysis will consider existing current household estimates, as well as household growth projections by income and tenure. The rental dema nd calculations should also consider cost - burdened households and those living in substandard housing. The for-sale demand calculations will take into consideration household growth and the need for replacement housing (older, substandard housing).
• Conclusions/Recommendations: The conclusions typically summarize the depth of the market for additional housing within the PSA. Specific conclusions may include recommendations for the types of housing development that should be pursued and supported, as well as types of housing that will be needed in the short, medium and long term (projected five years ahead, or longer), recommendations as to the types of programs that the local government should consider expanding or providing for the development/redevelopment of necessary housing and recommended priorities for funding of projects.

Deliverables: Inventory of information and data in PDF format.

Task 2.3: Housing Parcel Identification (Sites Inventory) Analysis Our team will prepare a sites analysis showing the relationship between the City's 6th Cycle RHNA and the City’s current dwelling unit capacity, availability of potential housing sites based on zoning, infrastructure, and General Plan policies, requirements, and limitations. We will also work with staff to identify potential zoning strategies to address need for additional housing unit capacity. Potential zoning strategies could include the rezoning of sites to accommodate for the City's RHNA.

Deliverables: Inventory of information and data in Excel format.

Task 2.4: Housing Production Constraints Analysis
Our team will identify programmatic, physical, and financial housing resources available in the City. As well, we will analyze geographical, administrative, and other constraints. This work will include review of existing city regulations, codes, and standards related to housing. Where constraints exist, we will propose strategies to address them. Interviews with City staff/local developers/affordable housing stakeholders will be conducted to determine what the primary constraints to accelerated housing production are within the City. Our research will include review of current City regulations, codes, and standards related to housing.

Our team will conduct interviews and
obtain local insight from area
stakeholders regarding current housing
conditions and trends

15.04.050 Findings.

The city council of the city of Wasco finds and declares that the additions, modifications, and changes made to the codes are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare due to climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. These amendments are authorized under Health and Safety Code Sections 18941.5 and 17958
and are identified as follows:

A. Express Finding Number 1: Climatic.

1. The city of Wasco is in the seventy miles per hour wind zone; this results in frequent movement and shifting of buildings, structures, and associated systems serving those facilities.

2. The city of Wasco receives an average rainfall of seven or more inches per year. Heavy storms are very infrequent and precipitation events from a given storm are typically minimal.
96 of 111
ATTACHMENT 1

3. The city of Wasco is susceptible to extended periods of Tule fog. These conditions cause loss of visibility. This condition often results in multiple vehicle accidents which will commit emergency resources for extended periods of time, as well as create driving difficulties for emergency equipment resulting in delayed response times to fires and other emergencies.

B. Express Finding Number 2: Geological.

1. The city is located in seismic zone 4. Built-in fire protection and other safety measures, such as limitations of building height, stories, areas, and the anchoring of the structure to the foundation would provide a higher level of safety for building occupants, emergency responders, and property. This is even more critical in high occupancy (assembly) buildings where the potential loss of life is very high. Minor earthquakes occur causing movement and shifting of buildings, structures, and associated systems serving those facilities.

C. Express Finding Number 3: Topographical.

1. The city of Wasco drops in elevation +/- 50 feet from the east to the northwest of the natural flow of the land.

15.04.055 Filing of findings.

The city clerk is directed to file a copy of the ordinance codified in this chapter with the California Building Standards Commission of the state of California.

15.04.060 Interpretation.

The provisions of this code are enacted for the public health, safety, and welfare and are to be liberally construed to obtain the beneficial purposes thereof as specified in Chapter 1 of the Building Code.

15.04.065 Liability.

The provisions of this code shall not be construed as imposing upon the City of Wasco any liability or responsibility for damage to persons or property resulting from defective work, nor shall the city of Wasco, or any official, employee or agent thereof, be held as assuming any such liability or responsibility by reason of the review or inspection authorized by the provisions of this code or of any permits or certificates issued under this code.

Section 4: Effective date and publication
The ordinance codified in this chapter shall take effect on January 1, 2023, after its adoption and pursuant to resolution, published in summary format prior to adoption and within fifteen days after its adoption in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the city of Wasco.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: M. Scott Hurlbert, City Manager

DATE: December 6, 2022

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving Employment Agreement with Charlie Fivecoat as the Chief of Police and authorizing a title correction and reposting of the City of Wasco Salary Schedule.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of the Employment Agreement between Charlie Fivecoat as the Chief of Police and the City of Wasco and authorizes a title correction and reposting of the City of Wasco Salary Schedule.

Discussion:

The City would like to contract Charlie Fivecoat as the Chief of Police , effective December 7, 2022. Mr. Fivecoat has previously served as a full-time Chief of Police for the City of Shafter and as a Commander with the Kern County Sheriff’s Department in a number of communities , including Wasco. Mr. Fivecoat holds a Bachelor of Science in Organization Behavior from the University of San Francisco and a Master of Public Administration from the California State University, Bakersfield.

The Chief of Police is responsible for overseeing a variety of special projects for Local Public Safety. Tasks include but are not limited to the daily operations of the City of Wasco’s Police Department, community, governmental and interdepartmental relations, requiring considerable public contact as well as a broad knowledge of the City as a whole. It is crucial to have an individual who can understand the technical aspects of the local government and the needs of our residents. More importantly, this individual will need to have a “big-picture” perspective to help guide the Department and community into the future. They must be willing and capable of working in a collaborative manner with people at all levels within the organization, as well as be able to communicate and engage with the community, the City’s executive leadership team, and the City Council.

Mr. Fivecoat’s employment agreement will be for an initial term of three years with a salary of $156,667.00. The agreement provides for two potential extensions of one year each upon approval of the City Manager. His other terms and benefits are similar to those of other current and previous department directors. The employment agreement has been developed by the City’s employment law attorney and reviewed by the City Attorney. The Salary Schedule that initially approved the salary for the Chief of Police had

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

99 of 111
the incorrect title. Staff will be updating the salary schedule that currently contains the title of “Police Chief” to correctly identify “Chief of Police” for the salary range previously approved by the City Council.

Wasco Municipal Code states:
“2.04.130 Powers and duties--Appointment and removal.

It shall be the duty of the city manager to and he shall appoint, remove, promote and demote any and all officers and employees of the city excepting elected officers and the city attorney. The city manager shall enter into a contract in writing on behalf of the city with all department heads in a form approved by the city council.”

Fiscal Impact:

The estimated fiscal impact is equal to the current and future annual budget appropriation for salary and benefits relating to the Employment Agreement.
