RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the third amendment to the consultant services contract with Selbert Perkins Design to continue supporting the successful completion of the City of Watsonville Signage and Wayfinding Master Plan, Parks & Trails Signage Master Plan and Ramsay Park Implementation Project, increasing the amount by $15,000, for a total not to exceed $224,000, and extending the contract completion date to December 31, 2026, and authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the same.

BACKGROUND:

On December 14, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 318-21 (CM) awarding a contract to Selbert Perkins Design to design a new Wayfinding Signage program for the City of Watsonville in an amount of $109,000. On October 25, 2022, the City Council adopted the City’s new Signage and Wayfinding Master Plan and directed staff to prepare a multi-year implementation program for consideration.

On December 13, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 247-22 (CM) approving the First Amendment to the consultant contract which added to the scope of services, extended the contract term to June 30, 2023, and increased the contract amount by $100,000.00 for a total not to exceed $209,000. The additional scope of work included a Parks & Trails Signage Master Plan utilizing the City’s Signage and Wayfinding Master Plan, as well as a sign implementation package for Ramsay Park. The first amendment extended the term of the contract to June 30, 2023, allowing the City and Consultant to fulfill the objectives for the Wayfinding System Design and Implementation Project.

On September 12, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 176-23 (CM) approving the Second Amendment to the consultant contract to extend the term of completion from June 30, 2023, to June 30, 2024.

DISCUSSION:

City staff, along with the design team at Selbert Perkins Design, finalized the schematic design package for the Ramsay Park Renaissance Project. Phase 1 implementation of the City’s Signage & Wayfinding Master Plan and the Ramsay Park Signage Project will go out to bid together after calls for bids are approved by City Council. City staff will utilize the support of the consultant for additional construction administration for both projects.

Added funding and an extended term date is needed to ensure both projects are successfully executed.

Selbert Perkins Design contract’s scope of services under construction administration include:
 Responding to questions and RFI’s from potential bidders.  Attend pre-construction meetings to establish quality standards, schedule requirements and inspection procedures.
 Conduct shop visit inspection to ensure conformance with the design.  Provide consultation to the selected fabricator in their development of shop drawings.
 Issue clarification to drawings.
 Review any samples, mock-ups, and prototypes, as provided by the fabricator.

Additionally, the schematic design package for the Parks and Trails Master Plan is currently under review and scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024. Therefore, an extended term date and additional funding is needed to ensure the designs are successfully finalized.

City staff estimate the completion of the proposed projects listed herein will need a term extension until December 31, 2026, to ensure all deliverables are achieved in a satisfactory manner. An additional $15,000 is also requested to complete the remaining work for the schematic design on the Parks and Trails Master Plan, the Phase 1 implementation of the City’s Signage and Wayfinding Master Plan, and the implementation of signage for the Ramsay Park Renaissance Project.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This recommendation is consistent with the following Council Strategic Goals:

The Council’s adoption of this resolution is consistent with the Council’s priorities of:
 (2) Infrastructure & Environment: Implement Way Finding Program and complete the Park and Trail Signage Master Implementation Plan.
 (6) Community Engagement & Well-Being: Prioritize deferred maintenance of existing parks and facilities.

Re: Signage and Wayfinding Added Contract Service Letter Dear Members of the Watsonville City Council,
We hope this letter finds you well.

We are writing to formally request an extension of our current Design Services contract through December 2026 in order to continue supporting the successful completion of the Citywide Signage and Wayfinding Master Plan and the Ramsay Park signage and Wayfinding Master Plan. Given the complexity and scope of the project, extending the contract period will allow us to ensure all phases are completed efficiently and in accordance with the city’s goals.

We would like to request the allocation of additional funds of NTE $15,000 for Citywide Signage and Wayfinding to cover the costs associated with the phasing implementation and construction administration. These critical aspects of the project require sufficient resources to maintain quality and timely progress as we transition through each phase of construction. The requested funds will allow our team to provide the oversight and guidance necessary to manage this process effectively and prevent any disruptions to the project timeline.

We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to discussing how we can continue to work together to bring this project to a successful completion. Please let us know if there are any additional steps required or further information needed to move forward.

Thank you for your time and support.

Sincerely,
Clifford Selbert

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution accepting grant funding in the amount of $770,000 from the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County and appropriate such funds to the Special Grants Fund (0260).

BACKGROUND:

The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County (Land Trust) has been a supportive partner of the City’s Lee Road Trail Phase 1 project. The proposed trail will allow pedestrians and bicyclists to travel one-half mile from the driveway for Pajaro Valley High School along Harkins Slough Road and Lee Road to the entrance to Watsonville Slough Farm (refer to Phase 1 map). Future phases of this trail will connect to a bridge that will cross Struve Slough and to the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Rail Trail.

DISCUSSION:

Funding provided by the Land Trust is part of a Proposition 68 Green Infrastructure Grant from the California Natural Resources Agency. This multi-million-dollar grant was awarded to the Land Trust in 2020 and funds development of over four miles of trails with trail head amenities and wetland and grassland restoration in the Land Trusts Watsonville Slough Farm property and partially funds installation of bicycle and pedestrian facilities from Pajaro Valley High School to the Watsonville Slough Farm.

As part of the Land Trust’s agreement with the Grantor, $70,000 will be appropriated for the planning and design of Lee Road Trail Phase 1, and the remaining $700,000 will be appropriated for construction. The grant identified the importance of connecting Pajaro Valley High School to the proposed Watsonville Slough Farm, where the Phase 1 trail terminates.

11.4-110 Findings and Purpose.

A. Findings
(1) Mobilehome parks are highly profitable businesses. In 2020, the Wall Street Journal article “Investors Discover There’s Gold in the Mobile Home Park” recounted the extraordinary returns obtained from manufactured mobilehome park investments:
“One of the best-performing investments since last decade’s housing crash: trailer parks . . . It is as if apartment owners didn’t have to maintain or pay taxes on their buildings but still collected rent from those who lived inside . . . Even if residents can afford to move their homes, there aren’t many places to plop an old doublewide. Plans for new parks usually meet local resistance. The right zoning is hard to find. Meanwhile, demand for manufactured homes has been stoked by retiring baby boomers, millennials with a taste for minimal living and prices for site-built single-family houses that have risen beyond the reach of many Americans . . . A who’s who of big investors has joined the trailer-park hunt, boosting competition for facilities. Buyers have included pensions, sovereign-wealth funds and private equity firms.” (See Ryan Dezember, Investors Discover There’s Gold in the MobileHome Park,WALL ST. J., Feb. 26, 2020, at B1–B2, https://perma.cc/KZ34-L6XV cited in Baar, Protections of (Im)mobile Home Owners from the Consequences of (Im)mobile Home Park Closures 128 Penn State Law Rev. 779 (2024)

5 Ordinance No. ______ (CM)
Meeting Date: 092424
(2) Despite their high profitability and the extraordinary returns that they provide to their owners, other market factors have resulted in mobilehome park closures and conversions into other uses. When closures occur, the impacts are devastating for mobilehome owners:
investments in mobile home parks are highly profitable, in recent decades, as urban areas densify and alternate land uses, such as condominium projects, commercial centers, or high-end subdivisions, become more profitable, mobile home park closures have become widespread and are now becoming a national concern. When a mobile home park closes, it usually wipes out the mobile home owner’s entire investment in their mobile home and displaces the mobile home owner. Park closures are a large problem, as appellate courts have noted for decades, because of the “captive” nature of mobile home park tenancies and the role of public regulations in severely limiting the possible locations of mobile homes. As a practical matter, after they are moved from the factory and installed on a plot of land, “mobile” homes cannot be relocated. Generally, they are only sold in place, an unavailable option when a park closes. (See Baar, Protections of (Im)mobile Home Owners from the Consequences of (Im)mobile Home Park Closures 128 Penn State Law Rev. 779 (2024)) (3) The protection of the City’s mobilehome owners, and their substantial investments in their mobilehomes and their spaces, which usually exceed the investments of their park owners in their spaces and, in the aggregate, also exceed their park owners’ investments in their parks, further warrants additional special regulatory safeguards to protect these homeowners, their homes and their substantial and captive investments in their homes, which they would lose in the event the park that they are located in closes or converts to another use.
(4) Prior to approving a mobilehome park conversion or closure, Government Code Section 65863.7 (e)(1)(B) requires that the City make a finding as to whether the park closure and its conversion to its intended new use will result in or materially contribute to a shortage of housing opportunities and choices for low- and moderate-income households within the City of Watsonville.
(5) Government Code Section 65863.7 (k) states that Section 65863.7 establishes a minimum standard for the local regulation of the conversion or closure of mobilehome parks, and authorizes local governments to adopt additional rules and regulations. The legislative history of Section 65863.7 explicitly recognizes that Government Code Section 65863.7 (k) authorizes local jurisdictions to adopt additional local measures regulating conversions and closures of mobilehome parks; Government Code Section 65863.7 (e)(1)(B) provides that a local agency’s legislative body must “Make a finding as to whether or not approval of the park closure and the park's conversion into its intended new use, taking into consideration both the impact report as a whole and the overall housing availability within the local jurisdiction, will result in or materially contribute to a shortage of housing opportunities and choices for low- and moderate-income households within the local jurisdiction.” (6) Government Code Section 65583(b)(1), a provision of California’s Housing Element Law, requires the City’s Housing Element to contain goals, policies, and objectives to preserve the City’s current low-income and moderate-income affordable housing stock.

Page 306 of 351 ends

6 Ordinance No. ______ (CM)
Meeting Date: 092424
(7) To fulfill the above requirements of California’s Housing Element Law, the City’s Housing Element contains:
1: Goal 1 to "Improve, conserve and preserve affordable housing stock and neighborhoods,
2: Policy 1.5 to "Preserve the existing stock of affordable housing, including mobile homes, through City regulations and land use and development controls, including mobile home park exclusive-use zoning, as well as financial and other forms of assistance," and 3: Five Year Objective to “Preserve the continued availability and affordability of the current affordable housing stock located in the City’s mobile home parks.” (8) Watsonville’s 2023 – 2031- Housing Element shows that the City is currently suffering a severe shortage of low- and moderate-income affordable housing. It indicates that in 2020, 10,200, 71.3%, of the City’s 14,315 households were low-income, 6,840, of which were very low- and extremely low-income households (47.85% of Watsonville's total households). Other findings in the Housing Element were: The median price for a home in Watsonville in 2023 was $820,090, but the affordable purchase price for a home for lowincome households in Watsonville was $303,300 for a one-person household and $551,100 for a five-person household; that very low-income households could only afford to purchase a home costing $173,000 for a one-person household and $250,200 for a fiveperson household, and that extremely low-income households could only afford to purchase a home for $87,000 for a one-person household and $117,500 for a five-person household.
(9) Watsonville’s 2023 – 2031 Housing Element also indicates that 9,440 of Watsonville’s households were experiencing housing “cost burdens,” with 6,165 households having to pay more than 30% of their income for housing and 3,275 households having to pay more than 50% of their income for housing. It also shows that 4,119 of Watsonville’s households were living in overcrowded conditions.
(10) The City has 919 mobilehomes and their spaces, constituting 6% of its total of 14,882 housing units and a considerably higher portion of the housing units that are affordable to low- and moderate-income households.
(11) The mobilehomes in the City’s mobilehome parks are predominantly owner-occupied.

Mobilehome owners make substantial investments in purchasing their homes and improving their homes’ spaces, but they rent those spaces from their park owners. Their mobilehomes are difficult to relocate to spaces in other mobilehome parks because of the costs of moving to spaces in other mobilehome parks. For example, some parks are not willing to accept displaced mobilehomes that are more than five or ten years old. (12) Mobilehome owners have substantial investments that will be lost if they cannot continue their tenancies in the mobilehome park where their home is located. Courts have recognized that this unique economic relationship creates a heightened need to provide special protections for the investments mobilehome owners.

Page 307 of 351 ends

7 Ordinance No. ______ (CM)
Meeting Date: 092424
(13) Courts have acknowledged the special circumstances of mobilehome owners, noting that mobilehome owners make significant investments in their homes and spaces.

The U.S. Supreme Court stated:

The term 'mobile home' is somewhat misleading. Mobile homes are largely immobile as a practical matter, because the cost of moving one is often a significant fraction of the value of the mobile home itself. They are generally placed permanently in parks; once in place, only about 1 in every 100 mobile homes is ever moved. [Citation.] A mobile home owner typically rents a plot of land, called a 'pad,' from the owner of a mobile home park. The park owner provides private roads within the park, common facilities such as washing machines or a swimming pool, and often utilities. The mobile home owner often invests in site-specific improvements such as a driveway, steps, walkways, porches, or landscaping.

When the mobile home owner wishes to move, the mobile home is usually sold in place, and the purchaser continues to rent the pad on which the mobile home is located." (Yee v. Escondido (1992) 503 U.S. 519, 523.)
Subsequently, the California Supreme Court stated:

Thus, unlike the usual tenant, the mobile home owner generally makes a substantial investment in the home and its appurtenances--typically a greater investment in his or her space than the mobile home park owner. The immobility of the mobile home, the investment of the mobile home owner, and restriction on mobile home spaces, has sometimes led to what has been perceived as an economic imbalance of power in favor of mobile home park owners (id. at pp. 170- 182) that has in turn led many California cities to adopt mobile home rent control ordinances (see id. at p. 182 [some 70 cities in California had adopted rent control as of 1992]). (Galland v. City of Clovis (2001) 24 Cal.4th 1003, 1009 [emphasis added].])
(14) Government Code Section 65863.7 recognizes that the unique circumstances of mobilehome park tenants necessitate the mitigation of adverse effects of relocation upon mobilehome park residents who are confronted with a proposed change of use for their mobilehome park or portions of the park and so that the owners and occupants of mobilehomes and the owners of mobilehome parks understand their rights and responsibilities in such situations.

B. Purposes
(1) To carry out and supplement the provisions of State law, which require the City to ensure that a proposed mobilehome park conversion or closure is consistent with the City’s General Plan, particularly with its Housing Element. It is also the intent of this Chapter to ensure compliance with the provisions of Government Code Section 65863.7, which addresses the need for park owners to provide its displaced mobilehome owners with adequate mitigation benefits to enable them to obtain adequate housing in other mobilehome parks in the event a park owner seeks to convert, close, or cease use of a mobilehome park.

Page 308 of 351 ends

8 Ordinance No. ______ (CM)
Meeting Date: 092424
(2) To ensure that the closure of a mobilehome park and its conversion to another use is consistent with the City’s Housing Element.
(3) To ensure compliance with Government Code Section 65863.7(e)(1)(B)’s requirement that the City must determine whether or not the approval of a conversion or closure of a mobilehome park closure will result in or materially contribute to a shortage of housing opportunities and choices for low- and moderate-income households, taking into account both the impact report as a whole and the overall housing availability within the local jurisdiction.
(4) To effectuate Government Code Section 65863.7(k)’s authorization for the City to enact additional regulations.
(5) To provide procedures and standards for assessing the adverse impacts of a mobilehome park conversion or closure on the displaced mobilehome owners and to determine appropriate mitigation assistance to enable them to find and obtain adequate replacement housing in other mobilehome parks pursuant to Government Code Section 65863.7, the City’s police powers, and the provisions of this Ordinance. (6) To ensure that the mobilehome owners who will be displaced by a conversion or closure of their mobilehome park will receive adequate mitigation benefits to offset the impacts of the park owner’s decision to close or convert a mobilehome park. 11-4.120 Definitions.

(C) An Exemption Application shall be based on either of the following bases:
(1) The current use of the Park is not economically feasible, or that a requirement to provide displaced Homeowner mitigation benefits would eliminate substantially all reasonable use or economic value of the property for alternate uses, or would otherwise result in a taking.

Page 321 of 351 ends

21 Ordinance No. ______ (CM)
Meeting Date: 092424
(2) A court of competent jurisdiction has determined in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding that the closure or cessation of use of said property as a Mobilehome Park is necessary and that such court has taken further action that would prohibit or preclude payment of relocation assistance benefits, in whole or in part. (D) Any Exemption Application made pursuant to subsection (C)(1) of this Section shall contain, the following information:
(1) Statements of profit and loss from the operation of the Mobilehome Park for the most recent five-year period prior to the date of the application or request, as certified by a certified public accountant;

(F) Where an exemption from having to provide Displaced Homeowner mitigation assistance has been applied for based upon the impact of providing such assistance, the City Council shall make one of the following findings:
(1) That the Park Owner shall not be exempt from the Homeowner mitigation benefits obligations because substantial evidence has not shown that both of the following are true:
(a) That the continued use of the property as a Mobilehome Park would substantially eliminate all economically viable use of such property, and (b) That the cost of the displaced Homeowner mitigation assistance benefits would eliminate substantially all economically viable use of the property, or would otherwise result in a taking.
(2) That the Park Owner shall be exempt from the displaced Homeowner mitigation benefits requirement, in whole or in part, because substantial evidence has shown that either or both of the following are true:
(a) That the continued use of the property as a Mobilehome Park would substantially eliminate all reasonable use of such property, and (b) That the cost of the Homeowner mitigation assistance benefits would eliminate substantially all reasonable use or economic value of the property, or would otherwise result in a taking.

(1) That the Park Owner shall be exempt from the displaced homeowner mitigation benefits requirement in whole or in part, if a court in connection with a proceeding in bankruptcy has determined that both that the closure or cessation of use of said property as a Mobilehome Parkis necessary and has taken further action which would prohibit or preclude payment of such benefits, whether in whole or in part. In rendering its decision, the Planning Commission shall have the power to eliminate or waive all or portions of the requirements of this section to the extent necessary to comply with the court’s judgment, order or decree.
(2) That the Park Owner shall not be exempt from the displaced Homeowner mitigation assistance benefits requirement based upon any actions of a Court of Bankruptcy, because substantial evidence has not shown that any such court has ordered the closure or cessation of use of said property as a Mobilehome Park, or that such court has prohibited or precluded the imposition of such obligations, or both. (H) The approval of an exemption from the Displaced Homeowner mitigation assistance benefits requirement shall not have the effect of eliminating the requirements of the applicable portions of the Special Use Permit for Conversion or Closure, the Relocation Impact Report, the Displaced Homeowner mitigation requirements required by this Chapter, which were not explicitly exempted under this Section.

An approval of a change of use shall automatically become null and void if the certificate accepting the conditions is not executed and filed within ninety days of the date of the approval of the change of use or the notice of termination of tenancy has not been given within one hundred twenty days of that resolution.

All mitigation benefits imposed on the approval of conversion or closure shall be fully performed as to each Homeowner prior to that Homeowner’s required vacation of the Mobilehome Park unless otherwise provided in the mitigation measure. No eligible Homeowner shall be required to vacate a Space unless the Park Owner is in full compliance with all mitigation measures imposed pertaining to such Homeowner and has otherwise fulfilled the notice requirements of this Chapter and of the California Mobile Home Residency Law relating to termination of tenancy.

Upon application by the Park Owner filed with the Director on or before the date of expiration of the Special Use Permit , or other required approval relating to the conversion or closure of the Mobilehome Park or the development replacing it, the approvals may be extended by the City Council, if the City Council finds that their termination would constitute an undue hardship to the Park Owner and that the continuation of their approval(s) would not be detrimental to or have any further adverse impact on the Homeowners in the Park. In approving an extension, the City Council may subject the applicable permit approval to any conditions of approval deemed necessary to mitigate any adverse impacts resulting from the extension. Multiple extensions may be granted, but no one (1) extension shall be issued for more than twelve (12) months. (C) Revocation. The Council or the Planning Director may initiate proceedings to revoke the Special Use Permit. The Planning Director shall give written notice of the hearing to the Park Owner and the Homeowners at least 30 days prior to the hearing.

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, October 8, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: POLICE CHIEF ZAMORA

POLICE CAPTAIN RADICH
SUBJECT: TOW FEE STUDY AND RECOMMENDED REALLIGNMENT
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

1. Introduce by title only waiving full reading of Ordinance No. ____ amending certain provisions of the Municipal Code pertaining to vehicle towing services.

2. Adopt Resolution No. ___ amending the schedule of fees for certain tow-related charges.

BACKGROUND:

On June 25, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 117-24 (CM) approving the Police Departments updated Tow Service Agreement, authorizing the number of openings on the towing service rotation list pursuant to WMC 4-11 and authorizing a Tow Fee Study. While the fees have been updated throughout the years through a standard/annual CPI increase, Staff was concerned those increases may have been insufficient compared to current rates for other law enforcement agencies operating within Santa Cruz County. The Tow Fee Study was ordered by the City Council was to compare to current tow-related fee rates with those of other law enforcement agencies operating within Santa Cruz County.

Pursuant to WMC 4-11.14 (Schedule of fees and rates), “The City Council shall by resolution establish the maximum chargeable fees and fees for each rotation request.

For towing services, the permittee may charge no more than the maximum rate set by the City Council.”
DISCUSSION:

The current tow-related fee rates of our Police Department were compared to those of the California Highway Patrol (CHP), Capitola Police Department (CPD), Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO), Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) and Scotts Valley Police Department (SVPD). Staff is recommending the following changes to towrelated fees:
-Keep our current Vehicle Release and 30-Day Tow Hearing rates the same.

-Reduce the Private Property Tow Fee to conform with the City of Santa Cruz. -Allow our Rotational Tow Companies to charge the California Highway Patrol’s hourly tow fee rates.
-Amend the Gate Fee from the City/PD Fee List to allow Tow Companies to charge half of the applicable hourly rate, as allowed by the California Vehicle Code {CVC 22658(n)(2)(b)}.

Fees collected by our Police Department (PD) and fees collected by the Tow Companies (TC) were compared amongst the other law enforcement agencies as depicted in the table below, along with Staff’s recommendation for each of the fees:

STRATEGIC PLAN:
