MEETING DATE: Tuesday, January 14, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: POLICE CHIEF ZAMORA
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING AND APPROPRIATING THE FY
2024 EDWARD BYRNE JUSTICE GRANT PROGRAM IN THE
AMOUNT OF $20,759
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program FY 2024, in the amount of $20,759 to fund crime analysis software, and to execute all required documents, future amendments, if any, and appropriate the funds to the grant budget.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program is the primary provider of federal criminal justice funding to states and units of local government. The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) recognizes that many state and local criminal justice systems currently face challenging fiscal environments and an important, cost-effective way to relieve those pressures is to share or leverage resources through cooperation among federal, state, and local law enforcement. JAG awards are based on a statutory formula and applicants are limited to units of local government appearing on the FY 2024 JAG Allocations List. The City of Watsonville’s allocation is $20,759.
Program Areas
JAG funds may be used for to hire additional personnel and/or purchase equipment, supplies, contractual support, training, technical assistance, and information systems for criminal justice, including for any one or more of the following program areas:
• Law enforcement programs
• Prosecution and court programs, including indigent defense • Prevention and education programs
• Corrections and community corrections programs
• Drug treatment and enforcement programs
• Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs • Crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation)

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\12355811190\12355811190,,,Report - Acceptance of JAG Grant FY24 .docx • Mental health programs and related law enforcement and correction programs, including behavioral programs and crisis intervention teams • Implementation of state crisis intervention court proceedings and related programs or initiatives
The Watsonville Police Department (WPD) is proposing using the grant funds to continue funding crime analysis software. Crime analysis has become an essential tool in law enforcement efforts to enhance public safety, identify emerging trends, allocate resources and plan crime prevention strategies. The software will increase the effectiveness of the strategies and help the crime analyst with gathering crime data, pattern analysis, crime mapping, predictive analytics and with disseminating reports to the officers in order to respond more swiftly and appropriately to emergent public safety issues.
Staff recommends City Council approval in the acceptance of the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program for FY 2024 in the amount of $20,759 to continue funding crime analysis software.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
The FY 2024 JAG Grant supports the Strategic Plan Goal 05-Public Safety.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This grant will need to be appropriated in the grants fund.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

DISCUSSION:
Receiving a report on the City’s Development Impact Fees is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 15378(b).
With the City’s Finance Department finalizing the 2023/24 financial statements, staff were able to produce the 2023/24 Development Impact Fee Report (Attachment 1) for the Fiscal Year (FY) that ended June 30, 2024. The City imposes DIFs and Capacity Fees on new developments as a mechanism to mitigate impacts on public facilities and infrastructures created by development. Due to the City imposing DIFs and Capacity Fees, the City must produce annual reports as required by AB 1600. To satisfy the reporting requirement, the City drafted the 2023/24 Development Impact Fee Report (Attachment 1) for the Fiscal Year that ended June 30, 2024.
The City anticipates using fund balances on various projects, including but not limited to:
Park and Recreation:
Ramsay Park Renovations (ongoing), Park Assessments, Recreation Center Building Assessments (ongoing), City Plaza Restroom Facility Improvement (ongoing), Ramsay Park Master Plan BMX Plan (ongoing), Senior Center Repairs (ongoing), Fire:

Description of Impact Fee Programs
221-Affordable Housing Fees
Residential projects with fewer than 7 units and commercial/industrial developments exceeding 1,000 square feet of gross floor area are subject to an in-lieu fee. However, the developer of a residential project may elect to provide an affordable unit rather than paying the in-lieu fee.
The in-lieu fees collected pursuant to the Affordable Housing Ordinance are used to fund activities designed to support affordable housing. The amount of funds deposited into the Affordable Housing Fund is heavily dependent on a strong economy and local development activity. These funds can be used to help a wider range of income groups than federal and state programs generally finance. According to the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance, moderate and above moderate-income households can receive program benefits. These funds can be used to increase the supply of affordable housing, improve the housing supply, and reduce the cost of housing.
There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose because the fee is calculated in proportion to the development’s impact on affordable housing measured by the number of units or square footage depending on the type of development. 274-Public Art Fee
A onetime fee to imposes a new public art requirement for private development projects and provides developers with the option of commissioning public art on the development site or making an in-lieu contribution to the City's public art account “Watsonville Cultural Fund.” Deposits to the Watsonville Cultural Fund account may be used for the commission, acquisition and placement of public art throughout the City, and will be managed by the City's Parks and Community Services staff with guidance from the Public Art Advisory Committee. Artwork” includes but is not limited to paintings, drawings, murals in any media, stained glass, statues, bas-relief or other sculptures, and any creation under “new genres” as defined herein; environmental artworks or public spaces; monuments, fountains, arches or other structures intended for ornament or commemoration; integrated and functional architectural, video and other media-based elements designed by a qualified artist. For projects that involve no structures, artwork may include a combination of landscape design, natural and manufactured materials including but not limited to rocks, fountains, reflecting pools, sculptures, screens, benches, and other types of street furniture, provided they have been designed by a qualified artist. Artwork may be of a permanent or temporary nature. The term “Artwork” also includes “Public Art” which is a process that results in the incorporation of original works of art by artists in publicly accessible spaces and which serves a socioenvironmental function identifiable with people; is accessible to the mind and the eye; is integral to the site and responds to the concept of place making; is integrated with the work of other design professionals; is of high quality; serves the City by enhancing the quality of life for citizens and contributes to the City's prestige; and is unique to its moment in time and place. There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose because the fee is calculated in proportion to the development’s impact on availability of public art measured by the building permit valuation of development.

276-Park Land Impact Fee
Since some residential development may not involve a subdivision of land, and the Quimby Act applies only to subdivisions (including parcel maps), it is useful to establish a park land impact fee that applies to residential development projects not involving a subdivision. Local governments in California provide a critical role in the effort to set aside parkland and open space for recreational purposes. Cities and counties are authorized to require developers to set aside land, donate conservation easements, or pay fees for park improvements. The fees must be paid or land conveyed directly to the local public agencies that provide park and recreation services communitywide. The fee is based on the cost of land in the community and a standard number of park acres per thousand residents. There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose because the fee is calculated in proportion to the development’s impact on parklands measured by the square footage of the development.
277-Park Improvement Impact Fee
Because the park land in-lieu and impact fees cover only the cost of acquiring parkland, a park improvement impact fee is proposed to cover the cost of park improvements.
There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose because the fee is calculated in proportion to the development’s impact on parkland improvements measured by the square footage of the development.
278-Community Center and Recreation Facilities Impact Fee These impact fees are imposed to ensure that community centers and recreation facilities are able to serve future development in the City. The increase of development within the City leads to an increase in the use of community centers and recreation facilities. The purpose of the fee is to develop community and recreation infrastructure and programs to accommodate the increased use. There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose because the fee is calculated in proportion to the development’s impact on community and recreational infrastructure and programs measured by the square footage of the development.
281-Park Development
Local governments in California provide a critical role in the effort to set aside parkland and open space for recreational purposes. Cities and counties have been authorized since the passage of the 1975 Quimby Act to pass ordinances requiring that developers set aside land, donate conservation easements, or pay fees for park improvements.
Revenues generated through the Quimby Act cannot be used for the operation and maintenance of park facilities. The goal of the Quimby Act is to require developers to help mitigate the impacts of residential property improvements. The Act gives authority for passage of land dedication ordinances only to cities and counties. The fees must be paid and land conveyed directly to the local public agencies that provide park and recreation services communitywide. The fee is based on the cost of land in the community and a standard number of park acres per thousand residents. There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose because the fee is calculated Attachment 1
8 | Page
in proportion to the development’s impact on parklands measured by the square footage of the development.
311- Carbon Impact Fee
The carbon impact fee is assessed on all applicable building projects to fund greenhouse gas-reducing projects outlined in the Climate Action Plan. The carbon fund can only be used for projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the use of funds requires City Council approval. This fee is only charged to those additions and new construction that do not install carbon-reducing technology such as solar panels to offset the energy use created by the addition and/or new development. There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose because the fee is calculated in proportion to the development’s impact on carbon emissions measured by the total building permit fees of the development.
348-Fire Impact Fee
The Fire Impact fee is a one-time charge established in February 2007 to be paid to the City by developers and builders applied to offset the additional public service costs of new development. Fee is for the cost of constructing, acquiring, purchasing, and providing capital fire facilities and equipment, and for no other purpose. There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose because the fee is calculated in proportion to the development’s impact on fire service and infrastructure measured by the number of units or square footage depending on the type of development. 338- Green Valley Road/Freedom Boulevard Traffic Impact Fee.

FIVE-YEAR REPORT AND FINDINGS
California Government Code Section 66001(d)(1) requires the City to make findings every fifth year with respect to that portion of each impact fee account that remains unexpended, whether encumbered to a specific project or remaining unencumbered in an impact fee fund. As of June 30, 2020, the five-year revenue tests (included as part of Table 9, Table 11, Table 13, Table 15, and Table 17) indicate that each of the City’s development impact fee funds has unexpended funds that have been held past the fifth year of first deposit. Therefore, the City is reporting the following findings relating to each of the fee programs. • 66001(d)(1)(A): Identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put. • 66001(d)(1)(B): Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and purpose for which it is charged.
• 66001(d)(1)(C): Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements.
• 66001(d)(1)(D): Designate the approximate dates on which the funding is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.

FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR DURAN
ASSISTANT FINANCE MANAGER RODRIGUEZ
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING CITY OF WATSONVILLE
REDEVELOPMENT SUCCESSOR AGENCY RECOGNIZED
OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE (ROPS 25-26)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution approving the City of Watsonville Redevelopment Successor Agency Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026 (ROPS 25-26).
BACKGROUND:
Approval of the ROPS 25-26 is necessary in order to continue to pay the obligations of the City of Watsonville Redevelopment Successor Agency through fiscal year 2025-26.
DISCUSSION:
As of February 1, 2012, all redevelopment agencies throughout the State were required to dissolve as a result of the passage of ABX1-26 and the subsequent ruling in the Matosantos Case by the California Superior Court.
As part of legislation, Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules (ROPS) must be prepared by successor agencies and approved by oversight boards for prospective periods and become the budgetary documents upon which auditor-controllers distribute what was formally called tax increment to successor agencies in order to allow the successor agencies to pay approved enforceable obligations and administrative costs during the following period. In short, auditor-controllers deposit what was formally tax increment attributable to redevelopment agencies into a new account, the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”). Any RPTTF dollars not required to pay enforceable obligations and approved administrative costs during the period are retained by and distributed by auditor-controllers to the affected taxing entities, such as schools and special districts.
AB 1484 adopted in June 2012 as clean-up legislation to ABX1-26, requires that a 12- month prospective ROPS for the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 must be

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\12365668037\12365668037,,,Report - ROPS 25-26 .docx adopted by the Oversight Board and transmitted to the State Department of Finance (DOF) prior to February 1, 2025, attachment 1. The law provides that DOF will make its determination by April 15, 2025.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
04-Fiscal Health
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
If adopted, ROPS 25-26 will authorize payment from the RPTTF of $409,145 for enforceable obligations during this period and $10,000 for the administrative allowance, for the total budgetary authorization requested from RPTTF equaling $419,145.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

CODE SECTION 34177(l)(1)
WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health & Safety Code Section 33000, et seq. (“CRL”), the City Council of the City of Watsonville previously established the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Watsonville, a public body, corporate and politic (“Agency”) to carry out the purposes of and exercise the powers granted to community redevelopment agencies in accordance with the CRL; and
WHEREAS, on February 1, 2012, the Agency was dissolved in accord with Assembly Bill 1X 26 (Stats. 2011, 1st Ex. Sess., Ch. 5) (“AB 26”), and its rights, powers, duties and obligations were transferred to a “successor agency” (as defined by CRL Section 34171(j) and Section 34173)
WHEREAS, in accord with AB 26, on January 10, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4-12 (CM) becoming both the Agency’s successor agency (“Successor Agency”) and its successor for housing functions in accord with CRL Sections 34173 and 34176; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 34177(l)(1) the Successor Agency is required to prepare “Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules” (each such Schedule, a “ROPS”) that must be submitted to the Auditor Controller, and the State Department of Finance; and
Reso No. (SA)
Meeting Date: 011425
2 WHEREAS, each ROPS must identify the funds required by the Successor Agency to satisfy the Agency’s enforceable obligations and to pay administrative expenses; and WHEREAS, on February 26, 2013, the Oversight Board adopted Resolution No. 4- 13 (OB), approving an “Amended and Restated Cooperation Agreement for Administrative Services” (“Cooperation Agreement”), whereby the City agreed to provide administrative services for the Successor Agency for a total amount of $10,000, to be paid pursuant to terms contained in the Cooperation Agreement until such time as the Oversight Board requests a reduction in such amount; and
WHEREAS, City staff has prepared a ROPS for the period commencing July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, (“July 2025 – June 2026 ROPS”), a copy of which is attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the July 2025 – June 2026 ROPS was prepared in accordance with the requirements of CRL Section 34177 and other applicable law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WATSONVILLE, ACTING AS THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council approves the July 2025 – June 30, 2026 ROPS, in the form attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A, including the aggregated payment schedules attached to it.
Section 2. The City Manager is directed to submit the July 2025 – June 2026 ROPS to the County of Santa Cruz Oversight Board (formed in accord with CRL Section 34179) for approval in accord with CRL Section 34177(l)(2)(B).
Section 3. Following the Oversight Board’s approval of the July 2025 – June 30, 2026 ROPS, as provided in Section 2, above, the City Manager is directed to: (1) submit
Reso No. (SA)
Meeting Date: 011425
3 the approved July 2025 – June 30, 2026 ROPS to the Santa Cruz County Auditor/Controller, and the State Department of Finance, and (2) concurrently post the approved July 2025 – June 30, 2026 ROPS on the City’s internet website.
Section 4. The City Council finds and determines that the approval of the July 2025 – June 30, 2026 ROPS is not a “project” requiring environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Section 21000 et seq.) because it pertains to governmental fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially physical impact on the environment. **********************************

Statement of Qualification and Interest - City of Watsonville Planning Commission Dear Members of the City of Watsonville Council,
It has been my honor to serve as a member of the Watsonville Planning Commission over the past four years. During this time, I have gained a profound appreciation for the vital role the Commission plays in shaping the growth and development of our city while preserving its unique character and meeting the needs of its diverse community. I am writing to express my interest in continuing my service on the Commission, as I remain deeply committed to supporting Watsonville's future through thoughtful planning and collaborative decision-making.
As a Planning Commissioner, I have leveraged my professional skills as a Chief of Staff at UC Santa Cruz, to contribute meaningfully to the Commission's work. My experience includes analyzing and interpreting policy, speaking with members of the public, reviewing technical information, and communicating effectively with my fellow commissioners, City staff, and members of the public. These efforts have reinforced my belief in the importance of balancing growth with sustainability and inclusivity.
Beyond my role on the Commission, I bring a deep understanding of Watsonville's unique challenges and opportunities. As someone who has lived in the community for most of the 50 years I’ve been alive, and engagement with community, religious, and cultural organizations, I am attuned to the values and aspirations of our residents. My approach to planning emphasizes active community engagement, ensuring that all voices are heard and considered in shaping our city’s future.
Looking ahead, I am eager to continue contributing to the Commission’s critical work. I am committed to working collaboratively with my fellow Commissioners, City staff, and community members to uphold Watsonville’s vision for a vibrant, inclusive, and resilient city.
Thank you for considering my application for reappointment to the Watsonville Planning Commission. I am excited about the opportunity to continue serving our community and contributing to its growth and success. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require further information.
Sincerely,
Lucy Azevedo Rojas

LIBRARY COMMISSION
[DISTRICT 2]
WHEREAS, Section 910 of the City Charter established a seven member Library Commission with specific powers and duties; and

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, January 16, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR DURAN
DEPUTY CITY MANAGER MANNING
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF CITY COUNCIL HEALTHCARE BENEFITS RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution forming an elected coverage group to allow current and future City Councilmembers to participate in the City Health Care Plan, and directing the City Manager and City Attorney to take all actions necessary to effectuate such participation.
BACKGROUND:
The Charter amendment adopted by the voters on November 5, 2024 permits the City Council to receive health care benefits consistent with those received by City employees.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Watsonville was previously self-insured for health care, which allowed us to maintain a robust and benefit-rich plan. In 2013, the City transferred this plan to an insurance pool keeping the same plan and same requirements. While cost effective and offering the same robust health benefits, this approach has also limited our flexibility, as we can only offer one health plan.
In consultation with the City’s health care broker and underwriter the Council may consider forming a unique “Elected Group” for the seven member of the Council which may allow them to elect to participate in the City’s plan at the same cost offered to employees.
If the Council approves the provision of health care coverage, this is a one-time determination to establish an Elected group and cannot be changed in the future unless the City adopts a different health care model.
It is important to note that the City has a health committee which is comprised of a representative from every bargaining unit in the City. Any changes to the city offered health plan must be approved by this committee. While other health plan options have been explored on a periodic basis, to date the health committee has opted to continue with the City’s health plan recognizing it greatly benefits the majority of employees. If formed, the Elected group will be subject to any changes and decisions made by the Health Committee to the unique health plan offered by the City.
1/9/2025 9:42:18 PM
C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\2142940761\2142940761,,,CITY COUNCIL HEALTHCARE OPTIONS.docx In order to form an Elected group for health care coverage, all council members will be required to submit a Large Claimant Disclosure Statement for consideration by the underwriter prior to final approval. Due to the temporary nature of Council terms, unlike full time employees, Council members may individually opt out of the health coverage if proof of existing medical coverage is provided to the Human Resources Department.
If the “elected group” is created, then Council members who cannot provide proof of medical coverage will be required to participate in the health care plan at the same cost as employees which is currently $442.50 per month and subject to annual cost increases. The cost for the City per employee is currently $1,437.50 per month. This cost includes medical, dental, and vision coverage for the employee and any eligible dependents.
For informational purposes only we are providing, Table 1, which summarizes the costs of other available health plans in our geographical area. The City’s Anthem Blue Cross PPO plans most comparable to the PERS Platinum plan, and our rates are about half the cost of that plan. Our cost below includes dental, and vision and the other plans do not include those costs, they are in addition to these rates.
As previously mentioned, the trade off to having excellent coverage at a lower-than-average cost is the rigidity of the plan. Therefore, it must be emphasized that if the Council approves to participate in the health plan and an Elected group is formed, this group will be subject to City’s current health care structure and any future changes as may be determined by the Health Committee. The Council as a body will not have the ability to make any changes or alterations to health care coverage.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\2142940761\2142940761,,,CITY COUNCIL HEALTHCARE OPTIONS.docx Elected officials participating in the health care plan will be subject to pay the annual rates equal to those paid by employees. When a council member leaves office, they may have the ability to purchase COBRA insurance at their own expense for a limited time as determined by law. If participation in the plan is approved, the Council accepts that the Elected group will be subject to all terms and conditions of the current plan as outlined by the underwriter and broker and any future changes as determined by the Health Committee.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
7-Efficient and Well-performing Government
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This benefit is a new, ongoing expense to the General Fund. The cost for providing this benefit will range from $17,250 - $120,740 for calendar year 2025 depending on the number of participants. This annual cost may be subject to annual increases as determined by the City’s health care broker.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council could decide not to form an elected coverage group, in which case no Councilmember would be able to participate in the City’s health care plan.

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, January 14, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: POLICE CHIEF ZAMORA
SUBJECT: COMMITMENT TO MAINTAIN TRUST AND SAFETY FOR LOCAL
IMMIGRANTS
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Adopt a resolution reaffirming the City of Watsonville’s commitment to protect and support members of immigrant communities as a Sanctuary City and ensure that the City is actively communicating this message in a manner that effectively reaches impacted communities; and
2. Direct the City Manager, or their designee, to work with community partners to identify opportunities to strengthen resources to help protect and support immigrant communities against policies that may negatively impact the safety and wellbeing of the members of those communities.
BACKGROUND:
In light of the recently announced federal policies to implement restrictive immigrant policies once the incoming President assumes office in January 2025, it is important for the City of Watsonville to reaffirm its commitment to support and protect the safety and wellbeing of immigrants in our community that may be arrested and deported due to these policies. The City’s immigrant community is integral to the social and economic fabric of our region. This resolution builds upon a history of leadership, including prior sanctuary resolutions and the recent public reaffirmation of support for immigrant communities on November 7, 2024.
In addition to the resolution, Council is being asked to direct the City Manager, or designee, to continue to work with community partners to strengthen resources and partnerships with organizations that help protect members of these communities that may be the target of such policies. By reaffirming our commitment to protecting and supporting our immigrant community members and making a commitment to provide resources to these individuals, we hope to ensure and maintain the trust of members of our community with the City of Watsonville.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\201136202\201136202,,,Report - Commitment to Maintain Trust and Safety for Local Immigrants .docx DISCUSSION:
The City of Watsonville has a long-standing history of supporting its immigrant population through policies and partnerships, including sanctuary resolutions adopted by the County and the City of Santa Cruz in 2017. Several City departments along with community organizations like the Community Action Board’s Santa Cruz County Immigration Project and the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) have played pivotal roles in providing our community with resources and advocacy.
In November 2024, 35 city and county officials, law enforcement leaders, and elected representatives from throughout the Santa Cruz region signed a letter reaffirming their commitment to protecting immigrant communities. This proposed resolution strengthens these commitments, especially in the face of heightened concerns about federal immigration enforcement policies that could undermine trust and create significant challenges for local immigrant families.
The proposed resolution emphasizes the City’s role as a welcoming and inclusive community, and outlines key actions to protect and support immigrant community members:
1. Trust and Safety: The resolution declares Watsonville a place of trust and safety, prohibiting the use of City resources for federal immigration enforcement, restricting the collection of personal information unless mandated by law, and protecting client data.
2. Supportive Policies: It commends the Watsonville Police Department for maintaining policies that separate local law enforcement from federal immigration enforcement, per the California Values Act (SB54).
3. Community Engagement: It directs City departments to review confidentiality policies and ensure that immigration status does not hinder access to services.
4. Victim Support: It reaffirms the City’s commitment to supporting immigrant crime victims and witnesses through timely certification for humanitarian visas, such as the “U Visa.”
5. Integration Efforts: The resolution encourages initiatives to foster inclusion and collaboration between immigrant communities and the broader population.
6. Collaboration: The City will work with stakeholders, community groups, and local organizations to respond to federal immigration enforcement policies and protect vulnerable residents, and to support agencies serving impacted communities.
Adopting this resolution reaffirms the City of Watsonville’s dedication to its immigrant community during a time of uncertainty. It sends a strong message of solidarity and support, ensuring all residents feel valued and protected regardless of immigration status.
It aligns with the City’s longstanding commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion and upholds state policies like the California Values Act.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\201136202\201136202,,,Report - Commitment to Maintain Trust and Safety for Local Immigrants .docx Additionally, directing staff to work with community partners on a framework to address the urgent and multifaceted needs of immigrant populations will support coordination of resources, respond to emerging challenges, advocate for equitable policies, and foster trust between the immigrant community and local government, ultimately promoting inclusivity and resilience in the City of Watsonville.
Together, these actions support Santa Cruz County’s dedication to its immigrant community during a time of uncertainty.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action meets the following Council’s goals:
5-Public Safety
6-Community Engagement & Well-being
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.

Staff Analysis:
• Purpose is to serve residents in the immediate vicinity. • Not intended to attract substantial volumes of traffic from outside the neighborhood.
• Does not lend itself to drive-through facility development.
STAFF ANALYSIS - REPEAL
Repeal Chapter 14-41 Drive-Through Facility Restrictions Staff Analysis:
• Based on the setback and zoning analyses, there are certain zoning districts in which the development of drive-through facilities should remain subject to the requirements of WMC Chapter 14-41. • Repealing Chapter 14-41 would remove all requirements for drive-through facilities, including the special use permit requirement, setback requirements, and design criteria.
• This would also require updating multiple zoning code sections to correct the language related to drive-through facilities by zoning district.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council select the removal of the 150-foot setback requirement for the Thoroughfare
Commercial (CT) zoning district as their preferred option and direct staff to bring an ordinance to the Planning
Commission modifying the text of WMC Chapter 14-41 to
remove the 150-foot setback requirement from the CT
zoning district.
RATIONALE FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION
• The Thoroughfare Commercial (CT) zoning district designed to serve autooriented uses along major streets and arterials. • Even if the 150-foot setback requirement were removed, drive-through facilities in the CT zone would still require a special use permit, be subject to the setback requirements from signalized and gateway intersections, and be required to comply with the design criteria.
• Potential impacts of drive-through facilities could still be addressed through project-specific conditions of approval.
• This change would only require a simple text change to WMC Section 14-
41.100(a)(1).
RATIONALE FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Modification to WMC Section 14-41.100(a)(1):
“In the CNS, CN, and CV zoning districts, noNo drive-through lane, speakers, menu boards and/or take out windows shall be located within one hundred fifty (150') feet from any property boundary line of a parcel zoned for residential purposes.”
RATIONALE FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION
APPROPRIATE COUNCIL MOTION
Council to discuss and/or make a motion regarding options 1-4
1. Exempt the Thoroughfare Commercial (CT) zoning district from the 150-foot setback requirement (Staff Recommendation)
2. Exempt multiple commercial zoning districts (CT, CNS, CN, CV) from the 150-foot setback requirement
3. Repeal Chapter 14-41 Drive-Through Facility Restrictions
4. Maintain Chapter 14-41 As-Is

As a homeowner living within District 7, I’d like to see City Council maintain Chapter 14-41 As-Is for purposes of its adoption: “supporting the City’s General Plan Policy 4.B.1 to help protect existing neighborhood quality by establishing design and location criteria for drive through facilities that help limit traffic, noise, odor, and aesthetic impacts to surrounding uses by establishing reasonable criteria”. See Planning Commission Public Comment submissions (attached) for a case example of how removing the 150-foot setback would be detrimental to public health, lower property value, increase rental vacancies, etc. for the Quick Quack Car Wash project. Upholding all current requirements and the need for special use permits in all applicable zoning areas would allow for adequate review of proposals and most importantly alert the public, specifically those residing and/or working within proposed areas of development. I support the growth and evolution of this City but not at the detriment to the lifeblood of the City: its people. If City Council were to repeal Chapter 14-41, it’d be yet another example of the inequitable living environment for Watsonville residents when compared to those living in other parts of the County. That inequity seemingly being one in which corporate profit is valued over the health and well-being of Watsonville residents, which is clearly visible in the vast amount of drive-through facilities (primarily fast-food chains) in Watsonville compared to other cities in the County. Given the current state of our disproportionate economic balance, that being, corporate interests being put ahead of the wellbeing of the average working community member, City Council’s maintenance of Chapter 14- 41 would ultimately benefit those that call Watsonville home in the long run. Lastly, I’d like to share my experience as a Watsonville resident and the utter lack of communication of the possibility of such an ordinance change to those residing in areas in which pending projects have a vested interest in such a change. This exemplifies business interests lobbying for this change with little to no respect for the local residents’ well-being and the potential one-sided nature of the decision-making process.

Subject: Questions re: 632 East Lake Public Hearing
Hello Ivan,
I am a resident of 863 Lake Village Drive and I am reaching out to you in order to get a better understanding of the Public Hearing Notice letter I received regarding the proposed development of the car wash at 632 East Lake Avenue. I'd appreciate if you could confirm and/or correct my understanding as outlined below:
Does a denial of this special use permit allow for the car wash to be built in the vacant lot?
o If so, does this mean the zoning outlined in the map would change from Neighborhood Shopping Center to Thoroughfare Commercial? If so, does this mean there would be less environmental protection measures in place for those addresses outlined in the map? Thank you so much for your time. I am also available via phone at 831-332-4538. -

RE: Denial of a special use permit and design review permit with environmental review (PP2023-6337).
Project address is 632 East Lake Avenue (APN: 017-321-02) To the Planning Commission,
As a resident of 863 Lake Village Drive (within the proposed zoning map amendment) I am in agreement with the City Planner’s denial of the proposed development of Quick Quack Car Wash. See below for my reasons for denial:
· The noise that would come from this establishment, such as industrial dryers, would increase the already high amount of noise that comes from living behind East Lake Shopping Center, such as: delivery trucks, constant droning of refrigeration/generators, workers taking breaks in the alley, other business operations occurring in the alley (i.e. deliveries, cleaning, etc.), garbage trucks 3x/week, etc.
o This noise already makes the use of my backyard difficult as extended exposure to the level of noise causes headaches for my older family members and guests. o I’ve previously lived half a mile away from a similar car wash and could hear the industrial blower, both in and outside my residence. Car washes are frequently used in Watsonville and I can foresee the use of the industrial blower almost constant. Living almost directly behind this proposed development would make my living space intolerable.
· The hours of operation, if beyond 9PM and/or if it may operate 24/7, would extend beyond the hours of operation of Staff of Life and Fruition Brewery. These closure times limit the regular, daily noise from the businesses to just the refrigeration/generators and allow for quieter nights. · Lastly, there is already a car wash just half a mile away at 401 East Lake.
I am also in disagreement of any future amending and/or removing of the current ordinance that requires a drive through to be 150 feet from residential property lines.

RE: Denial of a special use permit and design review permit with environmental review (PP2023-6337).
Project address is 632 East Lake Avenue (APN: 017-321-02) To the Planning Commission,
I am the homeowner of 863 Lake Village Drive which is within the proposed zoning map amendment in question. I am in agreement with the City Planner’s denial of the proposed development of Quick Quack Car Wash.
I chose to live and invest in this neighborhood due to its quiet, working family environment. I do believe it is important for small businesses to thrive when they have positive impacts in the community. Although it is possible that many people will enjoy using a car wash such as the one proposed, I believe its impact on the neighboring families will be negative.
Having previously lived near a drive through car wash, I understand how tremendously loud they are when in operation. The noise in the alley behind the East Lake shopping center is already at a concerning level and a business like this would certainly cause a problem for those living nearby. I cannot directly speak for all of the neighboring families, but I do know that many are hard working and, like me, need a quiet home in which to rest so they can continue being productive members of the community of Watsonville.
I am in disagreement of any future amending and/or removing of the current ordinance that requires a drive through to be 150 feet from residential property lines.
I trust that the planning commission will recommend to the council, the best option for the property of 632 that will allow the neighboring families to flourish.
Thank you for your time.

SHANNON WITH QUICK QUACK CAR WASH, APPLICANT, ON BEHALF OF BILL HANSEN,
PROPERTY OWNER
Dear Mr. Carmona,
This is a duplicate of my email to you dated 12/18/24, now being sent to [email protected] as directed by the Public Hearing Notice for this matter.
I am writing on behalf of my client Tomas R. Fuentes. Mr. Fuentes is the trustee of a family trust that owns the apartment building at 610 Tuttle Avenue in Watsonville. I understand that denial of an application to build and operate a car wash at 632 East Lake Ave. was recommended at the Planning Commission meeting held November 19, 2024, but that the item was continued to be heard again in December or January.
My client agrees with the denial of this project. He opposes this use of the parcel adjoining 610 Tuttle due to the noise and traffic that it will cause, and the impact of that noise and traffic on occupants of the 610 Tuttle apartments. My client believes that his tenants will be unhappy with the noise and traffic, that their quiet enjoyment of their apartments will be disrupted as a result, that vacancies will also result, and that the vacancies will be difficult to fill if the car wash use is approved for 632 East Lake Ave, resulting in a substantial loss of rental income.
Thank you for hearing my client’s objection and his support for denial of the car wash use.

RE: Denial of a special use permit and design review permit with environmental review (PP2023- 6337).
Project address is 632 East Lake Avenue (APN: 017-321-02) To the Planning Commission,
As a first-time homeowner within the proposed zoning map amendment, I’d like to both expand upon and reiterate my initial agreement with the City Planner’s denial of the proposed development of Quick Quack Car Wash.
Expanded Commentary for January 7, 2025 Meeting:
1. The proposal will be materially detrimental to public health, safety, convenience, and welfare
a. Materially: Lower the home values of homeowners in the proposed zoning map amendment.
b. Public Health: Harvard Medicine studies have shown increased noise pollution drives hearing loss, tinnitus, hypersensitivity to sound, cause or exacerbate cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, sleep disturbances, stress, mental health and cognition problems.
2. Drive Through Delineation & WMC Section 14-41.100(a)(1) a. Quick Quack’s pushback on defining their business as a “drive through” at the November 19, 2024 meeting, which was there’s no “menu” and/or attendant.
Counter to their argument, the promotional video they shared clearly demonstrated an attendant in front of the drive through car wash to handle the transaction holding a “menu” of the available washes. Additionally, I’ve visited a Quick Quack Car Wash located in Marina (Monterey County) and witnessed the above. b. Planning Commission Chair Acosta’s declaration that the WMC Section 14-
41.100(a)(1) regulation setting drive throughs back 150-feet from residential property lines is 24-years old and the city of Watsonville would benefit from updating such a regulation. I respectfully counter this point of view as such a regulation was established for the protection of public health, safety, convenience, and welfare.
c. Quick Quack also pushed back stating other similar businesses are much closer to residential property lines than the WMC Section 14-41.100(a)(1) regulation of 150- feet. I am not privy to the development of such businesses, however, I also respectfully counter this point with my same questions outlined in 3b below, in summary: I question the accessibility and language related to the process of such decisions with the community.
3. As a resident of Watsonville, I value the growth of local businesses for our community to continue to grow and inevitably thrive. Therefore, I propose the following questions to the Planning Commission on how this project will uphold that value:
a. How does this proposal from an out of city and county business, Roseville, contribute to the local economy? Yes, a few jobs will open for operation and maintenance of the facility, but what is an out of county business’ investment in maintaining a business they rarely, if ever, see aside from being just a regular source of income? Please see Enclosures 1 & 2 for lived experience testimonies from a community in Sacramento County, the county this business is headquartered, that Attachment 1
experienced less than ideal conditions once a Quick Quack Car Wash was built behind in their community (i.e. noise, lack of communication from management, etc.).
b. What data decision making processes informed the choice of a car wash business over another business? As a resident, I witnessed no community input sought for this proposal, at least not in accessible language and/or messaging other than the required public hearing notices written in legal ease. The landowner spent a significant amount of funds towards other processes (i.e. noise study, traffic study, sign plans, etc.), but where was the voice of the community included? c. How would allowing a special use permit and changing the current zoning map for an out of city and county car wash business impact the overall wellbeing of those living within its vicinity? This includes neighboring businesses, homeowners, and renters. Residents residing within South County are consistently treated as second class citizens within Santa Cruz County, and this project is yet another example of such treatment.
I’d like to conclude my new commentary with one last point as a first-time homeowner. As a career public servant myself, I’ve worked incredibly hard in my life to get to the point of purchasing my first home and couldn’t be prouder to call myself a resident of Watsonville. I value this community and the businesses that allow us to thrive, however, a car wash business at this location is not appropriate for all the reasons outlined above and below. I would like to see the vacant lot occupied at some point in the near future and would hope that input from what the community may want and/or need is solicited. In the current state of our disproportionate economic balance, that being, corporate interests being put ahead of the average working community member, taking such an approach would be forward thinking and ultimately benefit those that call Watsonville home.
Reiteration of Initial Arguments from November 19, 2024 Meeting
1. Noise & Light Pollution: In addition to current high levels of noise coming from the alley behind East Lake Shopping Center (which is located directly behind my backyard) the car wash will significantly increase this noise, for example: drive through industrial dryer, 19 vacuums, multiple running car engines, car stereos, etc. Also, proposed light poles will be 16-feet tall, well above the proposed 8-foot mason fence that will pollute the homes of those directly behind and next to the business.
2. Hours of Operation: Opens well before most of East Lake Shopping Center business at 7AM.
3. Established Car Wash Business: There is already a car wash just half a mile away at 401 East Lake.
4. Zoning Map Amendment: I am in disagreement of any future amending and/or removing of the current ordinance that requires a drive through to be 150 feet from residential property lines.

Neighbors are not happy with
QuickQuack car wash
When the County let the Quick Quack Car Wash go in on Watt just below Arden, neighbors were told the sound would be buffered by a required wall. But the wall the County approved doesn't do much to reduce noise impacts (http://www.advocatesforardenarcade.org/landuseprojects/2017/6/24/a-wall-thatsaves-developers-money-can-lead-to-problems-for-adjacent-neighborss) from the car wash. The nearby neighbors say the noise from Quick Quack itself is made even more annoying by car audios blaring as customers vacuum their cars. Those neighbors have tried without success to get Quick Quack to do something about the problem. There is even is a Facebook page, Boycott Quick Quack CarWash Arden/Watt (https://www.facebook.com/Boycott-Quick-Quack-CarWash-ArdenWatt103596953623420/), with pictures and videos that make it obvious that something is dreadfully wrong. There are car wash businesses all over the metro area, but the Quick Quack one on Watt is perhaps the only one located so close to residences. Quick Quack replaced a long-vacant building that had become a camp for homeless people. The County's approval was based on the usual "something is better than nothing" approach that fed on neighbors' desires to do something about the health and safety issues at the homeless encampment. Lost in the hubbub of approval was the grant of permission to let the Quick Quack building serve as a tall sign, complete with a brightly-lit duck, while also allowing tall parking lot lights. Glare from the new light fixtures and the duck sign are also causing problems for adjacent neighbors. Projects like this are reminders that the County has a duty to serve all constituents, not just those who happen to have purchased JUL

(http://www.advocatesforardenarcade.org/landuseprojects/2016/9/7/the-bee-sayswhat-we-already-know-developers-always-get-whatever-they-want) needs to be moderated by respect for resident's reasonable expectations for their homes and their neighborhood. When the County does not stand up for the residents, the public trust gets damaged. As the Quick Quack project has shown, loss of the public trust can be a very big deal.

To Planning Commission <[email protected]> Denial of a special use permit and design review permit with environmental review (PP2023-6337).
Project address is 632 East Lake Avenue (APN: 017-321-02) To the Planning Commission,
I am in agreement with the denial of a special use permit for this proposed project.
It will negatively affect the health and well being of the neighboring community, for example increased noise and the reversal of 24 years of regulation precedent. Firstly, a quick internet search can provide many official studies reflecting the negative health effects of noise pollution. The proposed noise mitigation falls short of protecting the neighboring family dwellings, particularly for the two story apartment buildings on the south side of the proposed site. An 8ft wall will do nothing to protect the many people living on the second floors of homes near this proposed drive through car wash. The protection that the wall would provide is questionable even to single story dwellings, given their close proximity.
Secondly, WMC Section 14-41.100(a)(1) is a regulation put in place to protect the health and prosperity of the community. It was mentioned in the November 19, 2024 meeting that the ordinance in question is antiquated. It is my hope, regarding our local leadership, that the act of protecting the health and prosperity of the community is NOT an antiquated one.
With all due respect, the mere fact that the value of this regulation is a point of contention is scary and I am fearful for the future of the citizens of Watsonville if this is the stance our local leadership is willing to take, one that values profit over community.
I ask you all to please stand up and protect us. Please be the guardians that the people of the City of Watsonville deserve.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Steve McGee

Denial of a special use permit and design review permit with environmental review (PP2023-6337).
Project address is 632 East Lake Avenue (APN:017-321-02).
To the attention of the Watsonville Planning Committee, I support denying the proposed special use permit for this project. This proposal was made previously and denied for valid reasons especially as this is not a commercial area it's a residential community. Our residential population consists of families with babies, school age children, stay-at-home homemakers, young adults, working adults, grandparents, as well as pets. The major attraction to buying one of the lovely homes in this neighborhood is that it's quiet, little crime, and clean.
The proposal is in direct conflict with 24 years of regulation precedent which to date has protected our residential area from the noise pollution and degradation of the area such a project would bring.
Drive-through car washes are terribly noisy to operate and the noise would be continuous. In addition car washes are notorious for having customers who play loud music (so loud it can be heard across the area for blocks). Then let's not forget the vacuuming of the interior of the cars and garbage and trash that is always left behind such as beer bottles and who knows what.
It was mentioned at the November 19, 2024 meeting that the ordinance was antiquated. I'm certain that this doesn't mean that updating the ordinance should negate the 24 years of protection of our residential community from noise pollution and degradation which is really important to all the residents living in the area.
It's important to point out that property values would suffer due to having had such a project come to fruition in this residential area. Especially for those poor residents who must live next door to it.

To whom it may concern, As a homeowner within District 7 and life-long resident of the city of Watsonville, I am concerned with the possibility of changing such an important ordinance.
I’d like City Council to keep Chapter 14-41 in place and as-is. I am currently pushing back on a proposal to build a drive through car wash very near my house, as it will not be good for the health and safety of me and my neighborhood. The current ordinance is protecting me and my community from noise, excess traffic, and our general physical safety. I feel like this ordinance is doing a great job of protecting us from drive through traffic, and the potential hazards that come with drive throughs being so close to homes. I think business is a good thing for the city, but not when it could hurt people directly near it. I know that city council is in place to protect the residents of Watsonville, and I trust that they will do what’s best for our children and loved ones. Thank you for your time, Joan Garrett for CONSIDERATION OF OPTIONS FOR DRIVE-THROUGH FACILITY RESTRICTIONS (Recommended by Interim Community Development Director Meek) in City Council Meeting 1/14/2025 4:30:00 PM

City Council, The ordinance in place (WMC CHAPTER 14-41), is in place to prevent businesses from setting up too close to homes. This is an important protection for those living in our community. Drive through businesses that are too close to homes are a direct hazard to the safety and well-being of those who live nearby. The noise, loitering and traffic that come with businesses like this should be far away from homes. Please do the right thing and keep the people of our city safe. Please keep WMC CHAPTER 14-41 in place and unchanged. If you would like to hear more about my position, please contact me.

Members of city council, Modifying wmc chapter 14-41 to allow companies to build their drive throughs closer to homes is a dangerous and shameful idea. The hard working families of Watsonville deserve to have quiet and safe homes/neighborhoods. If anything, the 150ft proximity should be pushed back even further to 250+ft. Thank you, Ricardo D.

To whom it may concern, It is not just the noise that a particular drive through makes my itself that I am worried about. It is also the car engines and loud stereos of people waiting in line to be served. This type of noise should be limited around residential areas. Please keep the current ordinance in place.

Watsonville City Council, I am a homeowner in district 7. I urge the council to keep chapter 14-41 in place and unchanged. I have been to Watsonville planning commission meetings and heard business owners express their frustration with this ordinance. There is a sense of, “If that business can do it, then why can’t mine?”. There are many possible answers to this question.
Some answers may be, effected community members may not be aware of such agenda items and others may not have time to address the issue. Having been a renter in this county for many years, I tried my hardest to not cause problems or bring attention to myself as it could jeopardize my living situation, so public comments and community outreach were out of the question. I believe these situations are often capitalized on by businesses to push agendas only beneficial to themselves. I sincerely hope that you, our elected officials, will be the advocates that the community needs in situations like this. Please don’t let business interests take precedence over citizen health and well-being. Please leave 14-41 in place and unchanged.
Sincerely, Steven McGee

Hello, I have recently been to a Drive through car wash with a self-serve vacuum station and was shocked at how loud it was. There were 2 cars next to me and each one was blaring earth shaking music. As a patron, I was annoyed but I can only imagine the pain people must feel having to live near a business like this. I guarantee if you were to sit in a parkinglot of any similar business for a couple hours you would experience what i just described. These restrictions should be left alone. Jim Rey

Subject: Watsonville Municipal Code Chapter 14-41 Drive-Through Facility Restrictions Date: Tuesday, January 14, 2025 4:02:47 PM
Dear City Council Members,
I am writing on behalf of my client Tomas R. Fuentes. Mr. Fuentes is the trustee of a family trust that owns the apartment building at 610 Tuttle Avenue in Watsonville. I understand that denial of Quick Quack application to build and operate a car wash at 632 East Lake Ave. was recommended at the Planning Commission meeting held November 19, 2024, but that the property owner pulled his application prior to a second consideration scheduled for January 7, 2025. I understand that at its meeting today the City Council is reviewing options for modifying Watsonville Municipal Code Chapter 14-41 regarding Drive-Through Facility Restrictions. My client objects to modifications that would
My client agrees with the denial of this project. He opposes this use of the parcel adjoining 610 Tuttle due to the noise and traffic that it will cause, and the impact of that noise and traffic on occupants of the 610 Tuttle apartments. My client believes that his tenants will be unhappy with the noise and traffic, that their quiet enjoyment of their apartments will be disrupted as a result, that vacancies will also result, and that the vacancies will be difficult to fill if the car wash use is approved for 632 East Lake Ave, resulting in a substantial loss of rental income.
Thank you for hearing my client’s objection to a modification of the Drive-Through Faciliyt Restrictions that would allow the Quick Quack car wash application to operate a car wash at 632 East Lake Ave. to proceed.

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, January 14, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY CLERK ORTIZ
SUBJECT: COMMISSION VACANCY APPLICATION PROCESS
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve a resolution establishing a process for acceptance/review of applications for City Commissions.
BACKGROUND:
In 2024, the City Council placed a measure on the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election to amend the Charter to allow residents of Watsonville who are not registered to vote the opportunity be appointed to City commissions. The Measure (Measure V) passed by a majority vote, paving the way for City residents to be considered for appointment to all City commissions without the need to register to vote. City Charter Section 900 now states:
“SECTION 900. Commissions: Intents and Purposes.
Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the appointive commissions established by or pursuant to this Charter are intended to serve as advisory bodies to the Council and the City Manager in carrying out their respective duties. Membership on such bodies shall be representative of the entire community insofar as that is possible, and members on such commissions shall be willing to serve as a civic responsibility. No member of any advisory commission shall hold any paid office or employment in the City Government. In order to be eligible for appointment to any commission, a person shall be a resident of the City…” Prior to this change, the City Clerk verified applicant addresses by contacting the County Clerk to make sure the applicant was a registered voter for the City of Watsonville.
Some of the Council expressed concerns with removal of the registered-voter requisite as it could lead to challenges in verifying that applicants were truly residents of Watsonville.
As a result, the City Clerk would return to the City Council for direction on how to proceed with acceptance/verification of applications.
DISCUSSION:
City Clerk Ortiz surveyed many cities in California on their process for verifying an applicant’s address. We received 14 responses, and the majority of cities did not request

1. Do not require proof of residency or a signed affidavit
2. Require a signed affidavit of residency
3. Require proof of residency:
a. Proof of Registered Voter Status
b. Provide a driver's license or State issued Identification c. Property Tax Receipt
d. Utility Bills (electricity, water, gas)
e. Cable or Telephone Bill
