MEETING DATE: Tuesday, June 28, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: FIRE CHIEF LOPEZ
ROSA MEYER, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
SUBJECT: FIRE DEPARTMENT INSPECTION REPORT FOR 2021
STATEMENT OF ISSUES:
California Health & Safety Code §§ 13146.2 and 13146.3 requires that the City Council adopt a resolution acknowledging receipt of the annual fire inspection report.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution acknowledging receipt of the annual fire inspection report for 2021 required by California Health & Safety Code §§ 13146.2 and 13146.3.
DISCUSSION:
The Governor signed SB 1205 on September 27, 2018 after the tragic Ghost Ship Fire (December 2016) spotlighted fire safety laws and fire inspections. It became effective January 1, 2019. SB1205 enacted a new section in the California Health & Safety Code, codified at § 13146.4 which requires local fire departments to annually report on compliance with State required inspections. Specifically, SB1205 requires:
1. The Fire Department to perform annual inspections (pursuant to California Health & Safety Code §§ 13146.2 and 13146.3) and to annually report to the Council on compliance.
2. The Fire Department report on compliance when the Council discusses its annual budget, or at another time determined by the Council.
3. The Council acknowledges receipt of the Report in a resolution or a similar formal document.
4. The report lists all properties that were inspected by the Fire Department from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. During the 2021 year, 23 schools, 49 restaurants, 76 apartment complexes, 262 commercial properties were inspected. A full list of all properties is attached.
Adopting the resolution satisfies the requirement that the Council acknowledges receipt of the inspection report.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
WATSONVILLE ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF INSPECTIONS
REPORT FOR 2021 MADE BY THE FIRE CHIEF OF THEWATSONVILLE
FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH THE ANNUAL INSPECTION OF CERTAIN
OCCUPANCIES REQUIRED BY SECTION 13146.2 AND 13146.3 OF THE
CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
WHEREAS, on or about September 27, 2018, Senate Bill 1205 was enacted, adding Health & Safety Code Section 13146.4, becoming effective January 1, 2019, requiring City and County Fire Departments to report annually to its administering authority or City Council, a State Mandate Compliance report; and WHEREAS, California Health & Safety Code Section 13146.2 and 13146.3 requires all fire departments that provide fire inspection services to perform annual inspections in every building identified as a public or private school, hotel, motel, lodging house, apartment house, and certain identified residential care facilities for compliance with building standards, as provided.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
1. This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that adopting a Resolution acknowledging report does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and if a “project,” is exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment.
Reso No. (CM)
Meeting Date: 020822 2
2. That the City Council of the City of Watsonville hereby acknowledges receipt of the Watsonville Fire Department Inspections Report for calendar year 2021 attached hereto and incorporated herein.

The Vista Montaña Subdivision is located off of East Lake Avenue and adjacent to Ann Soldo Elementary School and the Bay Village subdivision. The Vista Montaña Subdivision Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District includes the following:
1. Regular maintenance, repair, and replacement of all facilities within the agricultural buffer area (except the street and utilities) which includes but is not limited to, the landscaping, signage, perimeter wall, retaining walls, pedestrian path and erosion control plantings within or adjacent to the detention basins and drainage swale.
2. Operation, maintenance, repairs, and replacement of and power for the street lighting within the District.

includes the maintenance of the street end caps, the park strips and street lighting.
The Assessment District is based on a total number of Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU’s) and maximum annual assessments are included in the Engineer’s Report.
Fees for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 were not increased from the prior year due to concerns from some property owners regarding the quality of service to the landscape strip in front of their homes and who expressed that they did not want an increase to their assessments.
Since then, staff has held several community meetings with district property owners to present the details of the scope of district services the City provides and the associated budget that limits the City’s work. Staff also provided details regarding the LLMAD’s reserve account, which is currently well below levels needed to afford inevitable repairs as the development nears the 20-year mark. Staff has continued to work with the City Attorney’s Office to develop options to maintain the District within its budget, while also increasing reserves needed for future replacement.
Staff met again with homeowners on May 31, 2022 to discuss options that include:
1.) Maintain the status quo fees, with annual CPI increases, which would result in a reduction of services due to the ever increasing cost of maintenance;
2.) Conduct a new engineer’s study to re-evaluate the cost of maintenance which would likely result in an increase in service quality at an increased cost.
Following this meeting, the City will move forward with issuing a ballot to determine whether to hire an engineer to complete a new study and look at re-apportioning the assessments.
The homeowners will be under no obligation to adopt any increase in recommended assessments that result from the study.
A simple majority would need to approve the hiring of a consultant engineer. Should an engineer be hired to complete a new study and recommend the assessments and level of service be increased, a formal ballot would be issued to the property owners so they could vote on it, as required by regulation. Should an engineer be hired, the process to study a reapportionment of assessments while engaging the community is expected to take six months to complete and would be an issue brought to the Council in Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
At this time, the City is recommending that Council accept the annual engineer’s report, which recommends a 4% CPI increase for 2022-23 in order to maintain the status quo, while the community considers how they wish to move forward long-term.
Gonzales Street Alleyway LLMAD
The Gonzales Street Alleyway LLMAD was established in order to assist the residents bordering the alleyway and adjoining small parcel to cooperatively maintain this parcel that is now owned by the City but benefits its neighbors. The annual cost of $600 to maintain the

03-Infrastructure & Environment

6) Approve a resolution finding that the use of funds from the low and moderate-income housing asset fund for planning and general administrative costs is necessary for the purpose of producing, improving, and preserving the community’s supply of low and moderate-income housing.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council holds at least two public meetings to consider and adopt the annual City budget.
At the first meeting, on June 14, 2022, the Council received a presentation on the budget, and introduced, for first reading only, two related ordinances: one increasing Council Member and Mayor compensation by the amount permitted by the Government Code; and one instructing the County to levy and collect certain property taxes. Today is the second public meeting hearing the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget and related items.
Budget Highlights
The Budget for Fiscal Year FY 2022-23 for the City of Watsonville totals $211,341,192 as summarized in Table 1 below.
Table 1: FY 2022-23 Budget Summary
Watsonville’s finances remain on a steady path. For the most part, our revenue increases are able to match our expenditure increases. The high levels of inflation seen in the economy at large are impacting limited areas of our budget, both revenue and expenses. We do continue to see large year-over-year increases in CalPERS retirement costs, although those are General

expected to begin decreasing in coming years. We also continue to have a backlog of unfunded capital needs and the inability to expand service levels in some areas requested by the public and our departments. The steady approach we have taken to budgeting in recent years has paid off in that our funds have the reserves needed to manage future economic shocks should they occur. There is also room for optimism in future years as the peak of CalPERS costs seems to be approaching. The Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget presented today reflects a fairly status quo budget with few changes from the previously proposed two-year budget presented last year.
General Fund
The General Fund is projected to increase operating expenditures and revenues in the next years and spend down on accumulated Fund Balance. Last year’s biennial budget proposed a spend down of previous years’ Fund Balance with a commitment to capital improvements at Ramsay park. The proposed budget is balanced operationally and results in proposed ending fund balances that will meet the City’s policy of 20% reserves. There are some operational changes in some departments; most being entirely or partially funded by their own revenue changes. Other departments are being held mostly flat, aside from cost increases to salary and benefits, materials and contracts.
Revenues:
Property Tax- We are budgeting base property tax to be basically flat compared to the estimated FY 2021-22 collections for a total of $13,544,545. Property taxes are collected based on County Assessor rolls that were formally closed in January of 2022. According to county projections, our overall assessed value is likely to rise by approximately 4.3%.
However, that is expected to be offset by a reduced residual payment from former redevelopment areas due to increases in recognized obligation payment schedules. That reduction is a temporary situation due to new recognized obligations and we expect that in future years the residual receipts will increase once again.
Sales Tax – Sales tax is our revenue source most impacted by the current inflationary environment. It is expected to be essentially flat from predicted year end FY 2021-22 numbers. However, that is nearly 10% above the previously proposed FY 2022-23 budget.
What we are seeing is a full recovery to pre-pandemic levels in all categories of sales tax.
Furthermore, as expected, there are increases in both fuel and auto and transportation categories as prices have increased due to supply chain and world-wide events. This is also why we are projecting level amounts for next fiscal year as hopefully prices in both of those categories stabilize.
Sales Tax is 25% of General Fund revenue. The City also is supported by sales tax in a number of special funds including the Measure R Library, the Measure Y Public Safety Sales tax, and Measure D transportation. Each of these funds is likewise impacted by similar assumptions discussed later in this report.
Hotel Tax – Hotel tax is a much smaller percentage of the City’s overall revenue mix, but was the revenue stream most impacted by the pandemic with FY 2020-21 receipts being only 65% of FY 2018-19 receipts. FY 2021-22 is on track to be our highest earning year yet despite the fact that two of our hotels were repurposed during the pandemic and are no longer serving as

hotels. During that time, the new hotel on Lee Road opened and is more than making up for that loss. We assume that FY 2022-23 will reflect slight growth over FY 2021-22 levels.
Utility User Tax- Utility User Tax represents about 8.2% of General Fund revenues. This tax stream tends to be more stable as it is a tax on telecommunication services, electricity, gas and water. This revenue has been basically flat in the current year and we are expecting normal growth of 2% in the budget year.
Community Development Department Revenues – The Community Development Department charges fees for many of its services including inspections, plan check, and permit issuance.
The department has been incredibly busy recently and their revenues reflect that. Their FY 2021-22 revenues are expected to be their highest year yet, topping over $2 million.
Revenues in this department can be fairly volatile and are completely dependent on the development happening in the community, so while we are assuming an increase in revenue from the prior proposed FY 2022-23 budget, we are not assuming receipts will be quite as high as they are this year. The revenue increase will be used to fund some staffing and material increases in the department to help keep up with the demand for services. Should revenues fall, the department will also be expected to decrease expenditures.
Parks and Community Services Revenues – The Parks and Community Services Department has worked hard this year to restore its staffing and service offerings to the community after difficult pandemic times. However, due to continued use of the Ramsay Park Family Center as a COVID testing site, and now construction taking place in that area, they have not been able to completely return to their normal course offerings. We are looking forward to the return of special events and more sports and recreation offerings this upcoming year, but are keeping revenue expectations moderate and in line with pre-pandemic levels.
Other General Fund revenues make up smaller portions of the overall revenues and we are projecting fewer fluctuations. This includes items like business licenses and parking permits, franchise fees, lease revenues, and interest. Each item was analyzed on its own and by reviewing past experiences. Two items of note; first, the Finance Department recently completed an updated Cost Allocation Plan study which reviewed and updated how general fund administrative services are recovered by other funds as it is common practice to review and update these revenues every five years. Second, the transfers into the General Fund include a $1 million one-time pass-through item as part of the newly recognized redevelopment obligations as discussed above under property taxes. This has a corresponding one-time million-dollar expense and neither is expected to repeat in future years. Table 2 below summarizes all the revenue impacts described above.

Table 2: General Fund Revenue Summary
Expenditures
As discussed above, this is for the most part a status quo budget. This means that increases or decreases in expenditures are due to natural changes in costs due to contracts, benefits, or market prices but do not reflect a policy change in the way the City operates. The few exceptions or significant changes in costs are described below.
Salaries– Salaries, including contractual increases with existing employees and bargaining groups, makeup 50% of General Fund operating expenditures and therefore represent the greatest increase in costs. There are some department-specific changes to positions and salaries to be discussed in the departmental section below.
Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) – The City’s UAL increases continue to be a challenge. In FY 2022-23 UAL costs will increase by $500,000. UAL costs will represent 12% of the General Fund operating budget. UAL costs are expected to continue to rise much faster than our revenues in each of the next three fiscal years, peaking in FY 2024-25. After that, we expect to see a gradual decline in UAL costs as both the effects of major policy changes in CalPERS begin to show their effects and as the results of the 21% investment returns from FY 2020-21 begin to roll in. However, returns in FY 2021-22 are rumored to be negative and will have a corresponding negative effect in future years. Nevertheless, we expect the UAL to FY 2022-23 FY 2022-23

have a decreasing impact on our budget in future years. Meanwhile, we continue to analyze ways to smooth out the impact of the rises in the upcoming years. See chart 1 for the estimated General Fund UAL costs in the next ten years as percentage of projected General Fund Revenues.
Chart 1: Projected General Fund UAL as a Percentage of Revenues Other Benefits –Normal retirement costs will see some interesting and hard to predict changes in future years. Generally, we see this cost ever so slightly declining as members of the classic retirement plan retire and are replaced by newer PEPRA employees with lesser retirement benefits. However, the 21% investment returns in CalPERS in FY 2020-21 triggered a policy change which will lower their presumed discount rate starting in FY 2023-24 which will in turn increase normal costs for all retirement groups that same year. Other salarybased benefits such as Social Security, and Medicare are expected to rise at similar rates to salaries. The City of Watsonville has fared better than most cities in relation to health benefits in recent years with little to no increases.
Other non-position costs – Other citywide non-position impacts to the General Fund are minimal. They include increases for Water, Sewer, and Solid Waste services according to the utility rate schedule, increases to City Attorney, fuel, and fleet costs. Other items include increases to our JPA contracts with the County for 911 and Animal Shelter services. Here you will also see the $1 million pass through expense as described above.

Select Department Changes
All departments are impacted by the citywide impacts described above. In addition, several departments are proposing changes that are highlighted and described below.
Police Department – We are adding two Police Officer positions to the Police Department budget. PVUSD recently agreed to expand and return the School Resource Officer (SRO) program at both Pajaro Valley and Watsonville High Schools. One of those positions was added back to the Police Department budget at mid-year with the reinstatement of the pilot program. The second requested SRO position we are adding back now. This is cost neutral as it is paid for by revenue from the school district. The second officer position is an unfunded position, meaning the department has the position authority to hire, but not the funds. This is done in acknowledgment that the Police Department has regular turnover among its police officer positions and that there is a long lead time (often 18 months) between recruitment and when a new officer is able to serve on patrol due to training times. By increasing the department’s position count it will allow them to recruit more and compensate for one or two positions that are vacant at any given time. With the addition of these two positions the department is still one police officer position lower than pre-pandemic.

Fire Department – The Fire Department is adding a civilian Fire Inspector position. The department is looking to add more consistency to its Fire Inspection program in line with the outside analysis of department operations conducted earlier this year. The cost of the position is expected to be partially offset by increases in inspection revenues.
Parks and Community Services Department- The Parks Department while not proposing many changes to its operating budget is proposing changes to some of its staffing in order to better recruit and retain staff and therefore provide better consistency and quality of services to the community. The department is increasing the minimum salary at which it will recruit temporary employees. It is also proposing to convert some of its temporary positions into full time benefitted positions providing both better employment and growth to our employees and a higher level of service to our community.
General Government- In this area we are seeing an increase to our City Attorney costs. As the City transitions from a model with essentially a full-time on-site attorney, to a contract, model we are seeing a rise in costs. This was somewhat expected. Both the departments and the City Attorney are working together to control the growth in this area.
Community Development Department – As described above the revenue section, the Community Development Department continues to see a high demand for its services. To meet that demand the department is moving half of a Principal Planner position back into its budget and is proposing to fund a temporary Assistant Planner position. All of the increases of this department are paid for with their own expected revenue increases. If their revenues or demand for services declines they will be expected to reduce their budget accordingly.
Public Works- The General Fund side of the Public Works Department includes costs associated with building and facility maintenance and costs related to streets and sidewalks not covered by special revenue funds. We have provided some increases in the facilities and maintenance area as our aging buildings and facilities require investment to help prevent even more expensive repairs in the future. We have also increased some contracts used for trail and slough maintenance.

Five Year Outlook
Our five-year projection assumes no new programmatic changes. It is a snapshot of “If we were to continue doing what we are doing, what would it cost.” To that end it takes the budget described above and adds some assumed inflationary factors to both the revenues and expenses. This of course will be refined and updated each year as information becomes available, as economic conditions change, as new priorities arise, and as decisions are made to keep the City’s budget in balance. Table 5 reflects the General Fund’s five-year outlook considering the changes and assumptions described above.
Table 5: General Fund Five-Year Outlook
While the prospect of a nearly $1.5 million deficit in the next two years may seem alarming, it is primarily driven by changes in CalPERS UAL costs as described above. That the outlook in years four and five is positive provides some real hope for the future. As discussed above FY 2022-23 FY 2022-23

changes in UAL costs are driving both the deficit and the savings projections in the five-year outlook. As we continue to explore and analyze ways to smooth out or lower our costs in the next few years, including perhaps the use of $1 million still on reserve for this purpose, I am optimistic that the City can achieve balanced budgets in future years without major reductions in costs and hopefully lead to an increased capacity to serve our community and address currently unfunded needs.
Select Special Revenue and Internal Service Funds
Library Fund
The Library fund is supported through a county special sales and use tax and a joint allocation of property tax from the County. The County has proposed an extension to the current JPA agreement for Fiscal Year 2022-23 which will likely result in an increase in revenue driven by sales tax patterns described above. The department is not proposing a significant operational change at this time. However, they are also proposing to transition temporary and part time positions to full time when opportunities arise from turnover. The fund is likely to add to its fund balance in FY 2022-23 and is looking to use some of that fund balance in future years for building renovations.
ARPA
The entire $18.2 million American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation to the City of Watsonville was authorized on September 14, 2021, therefore the public will not see the full $18.2 million included in this budget. We continue to follow the plan adopted last September and appropriate projects and contracts as needed. What you will find in this budget is carryforward of already begun ARPA projects, new appropriation for streets and safety projects, and a request for three positions. ARPA guidelines allow for the rehiring of government positions eliminated due to the pandemic. We have since used that money to restore a Recreation Supervisor position in the Parks and Community Services Department and are requesting to fund an additional Accountant II in the Finance Department and an Administrative Assistant II in the City Manager Department. Both departments have yet to restore higher level positions eliminated during the FY 2020-21 budget process and are finding their current staff being stretched thin as other departments and services have been restored.
The costs of all three positions are assumed to move back into the General Fund in year FY 2024-25 of the five-year plan.
Gas Tax, SB, and Measure D
Despite the increase in gas prices, both the Gas Tax and SB1 funds will not see dramatic increases in revenues and formulas as both funds are built on a fixed price per gallon and not a percentage of sales. In fact, there is reason to believe that funding from these measures may decrease in future years with the increasing presence of electric vehicles. Measure D is somewhat different as it is based on a local county sales and use tax measure and therefore will increase with sales tax increases described above. The City now uses Gas Tax less for major construction projects and more for regular road maintenance and repairs. We have found that using our own crews and equipment allows us to be more responsive and efficient than contracting this workout. The project plan for SB1 and Measure D can be found in the capital plan. Both funds are carrying forward past projects not yet completed in addition to requesting funding for new projects. The transportation arm of the Public Works Department

has been very successful in recent years in receiving grants for transportation projects in addition to these special revenue funds.
Measure Y (formerly G)
In March 2020, Watsonville voters overwhelmingly voted to pass Measure Y to renew the existing half-cent public safety sales and use tax. Tax receipts have been higher than expected this fiscal year, and as described above, we are expecting them to level off next year.
All three departments made significant operational restorations last year and this coming year and are not proposing significant changes. Police and Fire are proposing to use their accumulated fund balance to invest in station repairs and special equipment for their departments.
Innovation & Technology – Since the creation of the IT Internal Service Fund, the department has had a number of position vacancies and therefore was not able to complete all budgeted projects and accumulated a fund balance. Going into the next fiscal year, the department is now near full staffing including a new director. The department is expected to work on a number of important projects next year including updating the audio and visual capabilities in the City Council Chamber and Community Rooms.
MSC (Fleet Management) – The Municipal Service Center or Fleet Management division was moved to its own internal service fund last year. Since then, this division has been perhaps the most impacted by inflation and supply chain issues. You will see significant increases to their fuel and supplies budget. They are funded by charging other departments for their services. This division is also under relatively new management and is implementing several software and operational changes to become more efficient and transparent to departments.

Select Enterprise Funds
The Utility Enterprises of Wastewater, Water, and Solid Waste are proposing minimal changes to their operating budgets. Unlike the General Fund, much of the cost increases in the Utility enterprises are not driven by personnel but by the cost of capital, the costs of materials and supplies, and in the case of Solid Waste, the cost of disposal contracts. The Public Works and Utilities Department is proposing some internal reorganization of its administrative and engineering teams as a way to better track and allocate costs to each of the utilities.
The Airport fund is supported through three revenue streams, leasing of commercial properties, leasing of aviation hangars, and aviation fuel sales. The department is proposing minimal operational changes, as they are already a lean operation. You will see the increases in fuel costs reflected on both their expenditure and revenue side. They are expected to add to their growing fund balance in the next fiscal year in order to build reserves for future capital investments.

Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan
The Five-Year Capital Plan helps the City prioritize its funding and planning for longer term structural needs. The requests for carryforward this year are larger than the requests for new projects. Carryforwards are projects that have been authorized in the past but have yet to be completed for various reasons. This year, some of those reasons included staff shortages, supply chain issues, and cost increases. This Capital Improvement Plan includes some major funding commitments that will have a lasting impact on the Watsonville community.
The General Fund share of our capital plan is comparatively little and generally pays for facility maintenance. Next year we are proposing to continue maintenance projects to a number of park facilities along with a continued commitment to the revitalization of Ramsay Park. We are also conducting a facilities assessment to help inform future CIP programs.
In the Utilities funds, engineering staff has had a busy year in getting over 11 total projects in the Water and Sewer enterprise fund CIP through the design process. Many of these projects will start construction at the end of the fiscal year or beginning of next year, all of which have a total construction value of over $40,000,000. Highlights include:
Green Valley Rd. and Freedom Blvd. Water and Sewer Improvements $3,742,000 beginning construction breaks ground June 27th. Zone 2 Water Reservoir $10,000,000 in design. Recently awarded $5,000,000 IWRM grant

The City’s Water Services crews have also replaced over 1.1 miles of aging water main throughout the City this fiscal year and are on target to meet that goal next fiscal year as well, with the main project planned being the Silver Leaf, Green Meadow, and Green Valley Road area water main replacement.
The Solid Waste team is conducting the studies necessary to complete the closing of the Phase III at the landfill and preparing to open Phase IV which we believe will be a more efficient way of providing this service to our residents as opposed to the transportation and contract costs required to haul our trash to Monterey. In addition, the Solid Waste team is excited about the prospect of our first electric collection vehicle partially funded through two grants totaling $550,000.
The Traffic division, funded through the gas tax, SB1, ARPA, Measure D, and grants is working on many projects. In particular they are looking forward to the construction of Freedom Blvd from Alta Vista Ave to Green Valley Rd. The work will include reconstruction of the roadway, including striping, pavement markings and signs; provisions for accessible sidewalks, installation of curb ramps and installation of a traffic signal at intersection of Freedom Boulevard and Sydney Avenue. They are also working on the design of Green Valley Road improvements from Freedom Blvd to the city limits. Improvements will include reconstruction of existing roadway, installation of a median island to encourage safer turning movements, removal and replacement of existing driveways and curb ramps that do not comply with existing accessibility standards, and restriping roadway to provide for bike lanes where none exist.
Unfunded Capital Needs
Despite a plan which expects to fund over $149 million of capital projects over the next five years, we still have over $37 million of unfunded capital projects. The majority of these are not for “wish list” items but for basic maintenance and updates to our facilities and equipment, and improvements to the City’s most used parks. We will continue to seek grants, financing opportunities, and other funds to invest in our capital assets.

Section 1. Based on the written and oral information presented to it, the City Council determines as follows:

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, June 28, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: CITY MANAGER PRO TEMPORE VIDES
Raunel Zavala, Sr Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: It is recommended that the City Council approve the disposition and development agreement between the City of Watsonville and Pajaro Valley Arts Council
STATEMENT OF ISSUES:
The City intends to sell the Porter building and has developed a disposition and development agreement with the buyer.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the disposition and development agreement between the City of Watsonville and Pajaro Valley Arts Council for the City owned property, the Porter Building, located on 280 Main Street in Watsonville, CA and authorize the City Manager to execute and enter into such DDA.
BACKGROUND:
On November 12, 2019, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified parties interested in purchasing or leasing the historic Porter Building at 280 Main Street. The Porter Building is a City owned property acquired in 1966. It is a historic building located in the heart of Watsonville’s downtown commercial core area. The building was constructed just before the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and was once occupied downstairs by Daly Bros.
Dry Goods with offices upstairs.
The City issued an RFP seeking proposals from qualified firms, supported by a professional architectural/engineering team with the objective of entering into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement for the purchase or lease of this property. The development objectives outlined on the RFP include a mixed-use commercial project, i.e. retail or restaurant on the first floor and office or residential use on the second floor of the ~15,000 sq. ft. building. The structure is a historic building and any modifications to the building will be subject to historic preservation review. Along with the RFP, an appraisal of the Porter Building conducted by Pacific Appraisers in August 2018, in which they valued the property at $1,350,000, was included. The City was searching for a buyer who can activate the building and maximize the economic

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\21461660341\21461660341,,,Staff Report - PV Arts DDA.docx activity at this important location in the downtown by bringing an entertainment and retail related user to the first floor.
Two proposals were received by the deadline of January 3, 2020. Staff reviewed both proposals, confirmed they were complete and met the outlined development objectives in the RFP. On March 13, 2020, the City and County declared an emergency due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and these efforts were put on pause for a few months.
On October 22, 2020 both applicants were invited to present their development proposal to the Council and the Public. The first proposal was from
Pajaro Valley Arts Council, a non-profit charitable corporation (PV Arts) established in 1984.
The articles of incorporation of PV Arts say its purpose is to sponsor and encourage artistic, cultural, historical, scientific and educational activities in North Monterey County and mid to South Santa Cruz County and their surrounding areas in the public interest.
The PV Arts proposal is to establish a gallery exhibit and retail space (approximately 1700 square feet) on the ground floor. The retail space will support local artists for cash and carry sales that will provide revenue for PV Arts and artists. The ground floor will also include a multipurpose room for performances, meetings, events, receptions, workshops, and additional special exhibits (approximately 1000+ square feet). Upstairs will be used as classroom space for seniors and youth (500-800 square feet) and artist studios (approximately 3000 square feet). The remainder of the space will be used for a warming kitchen, office space, storage, bathrooms, and hallways.
The Second Proposal was from WatsNews, LLC, a limited liability company (WatsNews) established on June 14, 2019. As of July 8, 2019, the sole officer is Manager Dan Pulcrano.
WatsNews is in the newspaper publishing business.
WatsNews proposed an investment in the building that was also consistent with the development objectives of this property and was innovative. The proposal included: a casual dining restaurant emphasizing locally sourced ingredients; a destination wine bar and food market highlighting Santa Cruz Mountains vineyards, Pajaro Valley farms and artisanal producers. The top floor would house a boutique micro-hotel and a creative space for community institutions as well as the Pajaronian newspaper business offices. This business proposal included the support of the Pajaronian newspaper’s media partners for marketing purposes.
After evaluating the proposals, the City began exploring due diligence and preliminary negotiations with PV Arts.
Following analysis of the 2019 changes in the State Surplus Land Act (Government Code Section 54220 et seq.) (“Surplus Land Act”), the City paused the RFP developer selection process and on March 23, 2021, by Resolution 78-21, in Compliance with the Surplus Land Act the City Council declared the Building Property to be surplus. The City issued a notice of availability and allowed 60 days for any eligible party to respond.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\21461660341\21461660341,,,Staff Report - PV Arts DDA.docx On September 29, 2021, the City of Watsonville and PV Arts entered into an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement to negotiate the terms of a proposed agreement regarding PV Art’s purchase of the Porter Building from the City in order to rehabilitate and refurbish the Building to create a performing arts space and an art gallery exhibit space, coupled with ancillary uses on the ground floor and artist studio space and ancillary office space on the second story as fully explained in the PV Arts development proposal submitted to the City in response to the request for proposals.
DISCUSSION:
The City began negotiations with PV Arts soon after to determine the terms of the sale.
Negotiations continued up until April 2022 when the preliminary terms of the purchase were agreed upon by both parties. PV Arts followed up with Pacific Appraisers for an updated appraisal, which determined the current market value of the property to be $1,150,000. The City accepted the new appraised value. A closing date of no longer than July 29, 2022 was decided on. This is due to the fact that PV Arts was awarded a $540,000 grant funded by the Hewlett Foundation and administered by Community Vision Capital and Consulting (CV), for the acquisition of the Porter Building, with the requirement that funds are to be disbursed into escrow by July 31, 2022.
It is in the City’s best interest for the Porter building property to be developed into something that brings value to the City and that fits in with the City’s Downtown specific plan, as it was proposed on PV Art’s response to the City’s RFP. In order to ensure the best interest of the community, the City has placed conditions to ensure the proposed project is completed.
Those conditions are:
A covenant on the grant deed, stating that until the 30th anniversary of the date of the Grant Deed the building property may only be used as a performing arts space and an art gallery exhibit space with ancillary uses on the ground floor and artist studio space and ancillary office space on the second floor, as more fully set forth in PV Art’s development proposal submitted to City in response to City’s request for proposals. If within those 30 years, PV Arts decides to sell the property, the City has the “Right of first offer.”
PV Arts will use diligent, good faith efforts to commence and complete construction of the restoration project as soon as possible.
Grant of an easement to City for utility access as well as for access to City’s employees, officials, contractors, representatives, guests and invitees with ingress and egress to and from Maple Ave. as noted on Attachments 2 and 3 of the grant deed. This will help support any future development on the remaining City parcel.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\21461660341\21461660341,,,Staff Report - PV Arts DDA.docx Within 180 days following closing, PV Arts shall provide City evidence that it has selected a manager for its fundraising campaign for the renovation work and ongoing maintenance of the building property.
PV Arts will also provide the City with quarterly progress reports regarding the funds raised by the Capital Campaign and construction progress with the first due not less than 30 days after the expiration of the first full calendar quarter following the Closing.
These will continue until the Capital Campaign is complete.
Summary of Terms:
Buyer: Pajaro Valley Arts Council, a California nonprofit public benefits corporation.
Purchase price: $1,150,000.00
Closing date: Closing shall occur on or before July 29, 2022.
Use of the building property: Property may only be used as a performing arts space and an art gallery space with ancillary used on the ground floor and artist studio space and ancillary office space of the second floor until the 30th anniversary of the date the grant deed is signed.
Right of first offer: The City reserves the right of first offer if at any time prior to the 30th anniversary of the signed grant deed, PV Arts wishes to sell the property.
Progress report: Quarterly progress reports will be provided to the City.
STRATEGIC PLAN:

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution:

Ordering a municipal election to be called on whether to approve a one-half of one percent sales tax for general services by adding a new Article 15 (Community Investment Transactions and Use Tax) of Chapter 6 (Taxation) of Title 3 (Finance) to the Watsonville Municipal Code; requesting Santa Cruz County Elections to conduct the election; requesting consolidation of the election to be held on November 8, 2022; and directing the City Clerk to take steps to place said measure on the ballot; and
2. Review proposed funding priorities for said tax measure Pursuant to Government Code Section 53724, placing this general tax measure on the ballot requires a 2/3 vote of the Council.
DISCUSSION:
BACKGROUND
As a first step towards ordering an election for approval of a one-half of one cent sales tax, on June 14, 2022, the Council approved proposed language for an ordinance adding a new Article 15 (Community Investment Transactions and Use Tax) of Chapter 6 (Taxation) of Title 3 (Finance) to the Watsonville Municipal Code, to be administered by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) and to be approved by voters. This measure would be a general tax measure, with revenues deposited into the City’s general fund.
If the Council wishes to proceed, it must now adopt a resolution ordering the election for November 2022, and submit the resolution to the Santa Cruz County Elections Department by August 12, 2022.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\21113396401\21113396401,,,Report - Ordering Election for Sales Tax Measure .docx Throughout the pandemic and in the recent couple of years, the City has conducted a series of community engagement efforts, budget workshops and community surveys. The City has received consistent feedback indicating the community’s desire to increase investment in parks and roads infrastructure, citing the need for positive spaces and programs for youth and children and the need for maintenance of parks, trails and sloughs.
It is well researched and documented that parks and recreation facilities and programs have profound positive impacts on a community’s health, well-being and quality of life. Close to home parks encourage active lifestyles and reduce health costs, increase community engagement and reduce crime, increase property values and make cities more climate resilient. Additionally, recreation programs play a key role in prevention and diversion as they provide young people with assets to become thriving adults, keep kids safe and away from crime, improve the health and well-being of youth and seniors and strengthen community unity.
The continued effect of COVID-19 on work environments, schools and daily life have encouraged community members to seek more time outdoors to get some fresh air, relieve stress, exercise and find a sense of normalcy. Throughout the pandemic, parks and public land have seen some of their highest usage in modern times, and Watsonville is no different.
Numerous scientific studies demonstrate that the availability of accessible, safe and quality parks and open space is crucial to personal and community well-being. This fact has been underscored by the pandemic, especially in disadvantaged communities and communities of color.
According to the Trust for Public Land, “Parks are proving to be an essential part of how we cope and recover from this crisis…As officials reimagine park policy in real time, equitable access is becoming a driving factor in decision-making…Decisions made in the next few months will determine whether the outdoors become more accessible and equitable and further benefit the health of communities, or slide backward…The pandemic highlights that in too many communities, access to the outdoors is considered a privilege when it should be a right.” Investment in our parks and open spaces is more crucial now than ever.
This community prioritization began to become apparent pre-pandemic, through polling of likely voters that was conducted in 2019 for the renewal of the Measure G Public Safety Sales Tax. Polling revealed that afterschool and youth violence prevention programs are a top community priority. Accordingly, the renewal measure (which became Measure Y), included an eight percent (8%) carve out for the Parks and Community Services Department, generating approximately $340,000 annually or 5% of the Department’s annual budget.
Following budget cuts implemented at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, community members have repeatedly requested an increased investment in City services, such as parks and recreation, that affect the quality of life. As COVID restrictions began to lift and parks and recreation programs began to reopen, the Council restored many of these budget reductions.
In addition, the Council highlighted identifying sustainable funding for parks and recreation services in its 2021-2023 Strategic Plan, specifically by prioritizing the following goals:
2- Fiscal Health – Sustainable Parks Funding
3- Infrastructure and Environment – Parks and Road Infrastructure

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\21113396401\21113396401,,,Report - Ordering Election for Sales Tax Measure .docx 5 - Community Engagement and Well-Being – Parks Accessibility, Services for Youth 6 - Public Safety – Youth Development
7 - Efficient and High Performing Government – Financial Management Furthermore, the City’s Ad-Hoc Committee on Policing and Social Equity’s Final Report included a recommendation to “Develop and Increase Programs for Youth and Families.” This recommendation stated that “Prevention and early intervention programs are critical in creating better pathways for youth. Increasing the inventory of prevention and youth development programs will provide a greater range of support and opportunities for Watsonville youth and families in the Watsonville community.” This recommendation specifically outlined the following actions:
Develop programs and services that keep youth from becoming police involved as well as stopping deeper involvement in the criminal justice system. Prioritize funding for Parks & Recreation services, in order to create and sustain more programs for community youth that are not affiliated with the Police Department. Expand youth prevention and intervention programs in the 2022-2023 budget that have demonstrated success.
Consider the expansion of parks and recreation activities and service as a form of prevention and a support for families.
Explore feasibility of a special sales tax measure for voters to consider on the November 2022 ballot that provides long term sustainable funding for Parks and Community Services Programs.
Provide a fund that supports families in receiving low cost to free programming in the Parks and Recreation Department.
Keep parks clean, well maintained and provide adequate lighting. Create public spaces for youth to create art.
Additional funding is needed to help maintain after-school programs, anti-gang activities, and recreation programs that keep youth and teens off the streets, out of trouble and away from drugs and gangs as these places and programs have proven to be even more critical during hard times. Sustainable funding is also needed for other services that contribute to the quality of life. Further investment is needed in other priority areas that make Watsonville a great place to live, work and play, such as road safety and conditions, maintenance of community infrastructure and facilities and Library services.
In alignment with both the Council Strategic Plan and the Ad Hoc Committee’s recommendations, staff worked with Godbe Research to conduct a poll to test support of a half-cent sales tax for parks and recreation services. In February 2022, Godbe conducted a telephone and online poll of 486 likely voters for the November 2022 election. Staff and Godbe shared poll results with the Council at the meeting on April 26, 2022. This poll revealed that about 68% of voters would support such a measure.
A special tax, which would designate the specific uses for revenues, requires 2/3 approval by the voters. Godbe reported that, when adding arguments against the measure to the poll, approval dropped to 63%. Godbe noted that passing a general sales tax, which require 50%

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\21113396401\21113396401,,,Report - Ordering Election for Sales Tax Measure .docx voter approval, had a higher chance for success and could also address the community’s priorities of funding for roads and libraries, as identified in the poll.
Funding Priorities
The poll also tested support for various elements of a measure and features that voters would likely support. Over 20 features were tested, including creating safe places for kids, maintaining streets, improving parks and playgrounds, affordable housing, homeless and mental health services and senior and library programs. Of these features, the following ranked the highest in terms of likely voter support:
Fix potholes and maintain streets
Keep Watsonville Slough trails area safe and clean
Create safe places for kids to play
Maintain after-school and summer programs serving at-risk youth and teens to keep them safe and out of trouble
Repair, maintain and improve aging parks, fields, playgrounds and trails Support senior meal programs at various locations throughout Watsonville Based on this poll and previously collected community input data, staff estimates that revenue from this tax measure could be allocated in the following manner:
Priority Annual Estimated Budget
Streets, roads and park renovations $2,500,000
Youth and teen afterschool, summer and prevention
programs; programs for families and seniors
$1,450,000
Playground and trail maintenance $700,000
Library programs and services $350,000
If the tax measure is approved by voters, the Council would adopt a budget to allocate funds to these priorities. As this is a general tax measure that will be enacted with a simple majority of the votes, all revenues will be deposited in the City’s general fund. However, the Council may commit to use those funds in a way that is consistent with the feedback it receives from the community. Staff recommends that the Council adopt a resolution identifying these tested features as priority for funding should the proposed tax measure be approved by voters.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
The proposed ordinance implements a new general half-cent sales tax that creates sustainable funding for parks, recreation and other quality of life services, facilities and programs. Specifics of the measure include:
Would not affect essential purchases, such as groceries and medicine. A sales tax would be paid both by residents and visitors who work or shop in Watsonville.
Would provide locally controlled revenue to keep neighborhoods, parks and recreational facilities clean, safe and well maintained, provide youth and senior programming and other essential city services.
Funds could not be taken by the State or County and all local sales tax dollars would stay in Watsonville.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\21113396401\21113396401,,,Report - Ordering Election for Sales Tax Measure .docx The measure would require fiscal accountability protections, including independent citizen oversight, mandatory financial audits, and yearly reports to the community. Requires periodic assessment of community needs.
Would last until repealed by voters.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
2- Fiscal Health – Sustainable Parks Funding, Capital Planning 3- Infrastructure and Environment – Parks and Road Infrastructure 5 - Community Engagement and Well-Being – Parks Accessibility, Partnerships & Health, Services for Youth
6 - Public Safety – Youth Development
7 - Efficient and High Performing Government – Financial Management FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed half-cent transactions and use tax measure would generate approximately $4- $5 million annually to assist the City with funding parks and recreation services, quality of life services and other general government use.
The County of Santa Cruz Elections Department estimates the cost between $2.50 - $4.00 per voter. The City of Watsonville currently has 22,055 registered voters. Therefore, the cost could range from $55,137.50 to $88,220.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council could elect to not order the election, or could direct staff to make changes to the ordinance. The deadline for the Council adopts a resolution placing the measure on the ballot is August 12.
