4 PART A
PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE WORK
The work to be done consists of:
Annual Maintenance (ongoing)
a) Routine plant care and mowing
b) Alleyway Maintenance
Plans for the annual maintenance activities have not been prepared. The maintenance program for the alleyway, which describes the work to be done, is available in the office of the Director of Parks and Community Services and is included herein by reference.
PART B
LAND ACQUIRED FOR PUBLIC USE
Assessor’s Parcel Number 016-143-26 was donated to the City for public use at no cost to the City or property owners.
The parcel of land dedicated (the Gonzales Street Alleyway) is shown on the Assessment Diagram included as Part G. Reference is made to the maps on file with the Santa Cruz County Assessor for the detailed lines and dimensions of this parcel.
DRAFT
5 PART C
ESTIMATE OF COST
1. Annual Maintenance Costs
a. Plant care, mowing and cleaning
3 hours per month @ $12.00 per hour x 12 months $ 432.00 b. Alleyway maintenance $ 168.00
Total Estimated Annual Maintenance Costs $ 600.00
2. Incidental Expense (by City) 0.00
Estimated Total Annual Cost 2025/2026 FY $ 600.00
PART D
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
There are 18 parcels within the block surrounded by High Street, Gonzales Street, Brennan Street, Freedom Boulevard and Sudden Street. Seventeen of these parcels will benefit from the maintenance and upkeep of the alleyway within this block. The 18th parcel, the alleyway, was dedicated to public use and does not benefit.
The benefits to be derived include but are not limited to additional parking, access to garages, open space uses security, and the improvement of the appearance of the adjacent land along back yard property lines.
In the opinion of the Engineer, each of the 17 parcels within the block will share these benefits equally with the exception of Parcel Number 016-143-10 that does not “tack” along the alleyway. Therefore, 16 parcels were assessed an equal unit of assessment and Parcel 016-143-10 was assessed 0.75 unit due to the lack of backyard “frontage”.
The amount of a unit of assessment for annual maintenance was calculated by dividing the total estimated annual maintenance cost by the total number of units (16.75).

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Monday, April 21, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDED BY: ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR DURAN
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE JOINT
POWERS AGREEMENT FOR THE WATSONVILLE PUBLIC FINANCING
AUTHORITY
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolutions of the City Council, sitting as the legislative body of the Industrial Development Authority of the City of Watsonville and the City of Watsonville, authorizing the first amendment to the joint exercise of powers agreement for the Watsonville Public Finance Authority.
BACKGROUND
The City of Watsonville entered into a joint powers authority, (“Watsonville Public Financing Authority or “PFA””) on October 24, 2017 (Resolution No. 1-17 (ID), for future long-term financings between the City and the Industrial Development of the City of Watsonville (the “IDA”); the members of the City Council are the members of the PFA’s board of directors governed by the City Council.
The statutory purpose of the IDA is to increase opportunities for useful employment or otherwise contribute to economic development. Articles 1 and 2, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the California Government Code (Section 6500 et seq.) permits two or more agencies, by agreement, to exercise jointly powers common to the contracting parties. Such agreement was entered into to facilitate the financing and/or refinancing of certain public programs, projects and public improvements.
The subject matter at hand is to amend the JPA Agreement pursuant to a First Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to proceed with issuing a 2025 Lease Revenue Bond.
2 DISCUSSION:
Prior to the issuance of the lease revenue bonds, the City and the PFA would enter into a site lease pursuant to which the City would lease certain real property and improvements owned by the City to the PFA for a nominal payment. Concurrently, the City and the PFA would enter into a property lease, under which PFA would lease the Leased property back to the City in exchange for rental payments by the City (and payable from the City’s general fund) to the PFA. The rental payments by the City under property lease would be pledged by the PFA as security for the payment of debt service on the PFA’s lease revenue bonds. Lease revenue bonds have some advantages in that they don’t require voter approval and are a fairly quick financing project.
Staff is currently working on the issuance of a lease revenue bond to partially fund the Ramsay Renaissance Project and other Capital Improvement Projects. Approving this amendment will help facilitate the issuance of a lease revenue bond, which is a critical step in securing funding for the planned capital improvements. The action ensures the necessary legal and financial framework is in place to move forward with the investment in vital infrastructure projects.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This resolution supports the strategic plan by laying the ground framework for a future financing possibility to fund capital needs without reliance on General Fund Reserves.
Infrastructure & Environment
Fiscal Health
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Adopting the resolution and executing the amendment to the joint powers agreement has no fiscal impact.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Reject the resolution and remove the Lease Revenue Bond financing as an option to fund the City’s Capital needs.
ATTACHMENTS AND/OR REFERENCES (IF ANY):
None.

WHEREAS, the City and the Industrial Development Authority previously adopted resolutions establishing the Watsonville Public Finance Authority (the “Public Finance Authority”) as a joint exercise of powers authority under the provisions of Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California (the “Act”), to assist the City and the Industrial Development Authority with their respective financing programs and for any other finance purposes authorized under Article 4 of the Act; WHEREAS, the City and the Industrial Development Authority have entered into that certain Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2017, between the City and the Industrial Development Authority (the “JPA Agreement”) setting forth the terms upon which the Public Finance Authority operates;

(a) Section 1.03(a) of the JPA Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
The Public Finance Authority shall be governed by a Board of Directors (the “Board”) which shall consist of the members of the City Council. Each member of the City Council of the City shall be a member of the Board by virtue of being a member of the City Council of the City.

If the Secretary does not post an agenda for a regular meeting pursuant to Section 54954.2 of the California Government Code, then such failure to post shall be deemed to be a determination by the Chair that no items require discussion and, therefore, that the regular meeting has been cancelled, except as otherwise provided in Section 54954.2 of the California Government Code. The Board may hold special meetings at any time and from time to time in accordance with law.

The City and the Industrial Development Authority each hereby declares that it would have entered into this Amendment and each and every other section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Amendment may be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable.
Section 5. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Amendment may be delivered by the exchange of signed signature pages by facsimile transmission or by attaching a pdf copy to an email, and any printed or copied version of any signature page so delivered will have the same force and effect as an originally signed version of such signature page.
