Mayor's Updates
6/24/2025
• I had the honor of attending the Pajaro Valley Health Trust Rather Awards, where I presented proclamations on behalf of the City of Watsonville to recognize outstanding individuals and organizations for their leadership, dedication, and contributions to our community.
• I also stood in solidarity with residents and fellow councilmembers at the No Kings Demonstration in the City Plaza. Watsonville continues to be a shining example of what it means to come together — to protect one another and defend our democracy.
• In partnership with Tri-County leaders, I joined a press conference in support of our immigrant communities, organized in collaboration with Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties. I’m grateful to Supervisor Luis Alejo for bringing us together to reaffirm our collective commitment to dignity, justice, and opportunity for all. • It was a pleasure to attend the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farmer of the Year Dinner and present a proclamation to this year’s honorees, Larry Jacobs and Sandra Belin of Jacobs Farm/Del Cabo, on behalf of the City of Watsonville.

• We also celebrated the ribbon cutting for the newly renovated basketball and pickleball courts at Callaghan Park! These upgrades were made possible thanks to Watsonville voters who supported Measure R. Special thanks to the Friends of Watsonville Parks and Community Services for the new backboards, and to our dedicated Parks staff whose hard work made this vision a reality. • I also attended the Friends of Watsonville Parks & Community Services Board of Directors meeting. We’re getting ready for Nerdville this Sunday and our Strawberry Jam Fun Run (1K & 5K) during the Strawberry Festival weekend—exciting events you won’t want to miss!
• Lastly, I had the pleasure of meeting our Summer in the City interns—an inspiring group of young leaders who are learning how local government works and how they can help shape the future of Watsonville.

Measure Y
COVER
10TH ANNUAL REPORT
Public Safety Tax
Revenue Measure
REPORTING PERIOD: JULY 1, 2024 – JUNE 30, 2025

This page was left
intentionally blank

I am pleased to present the
Revenue Measure Oversight
Committee’s 10th Annual Report
for the year ending June 30, 2025.

In the 2020 Primary Election,
Watsonville voters approved the
renewal of the existing half-cent
sales tax, now known as Measure
Y. This renewed measure took
effect on July 1, 2020.

The Revenue Measure Oversight Committee meets twice annually to review how Measure Y funds are allocated and used by Watsonville’s Police, Fire, and Parks and Recreation departments.

The half-cent sales tax includes strict accountability provisions, and the committee’s role is to ensure that all tax revenue is properly received, allocated, and spent in full compliance with Measure Y.

We are committed to continuing our work with the community to ensure the ongoing success of Measure Y. For public access to reports, presentations, and other relevant information, please visit watsonville.gov.

Fiscal Accountability
Audit: Fiscal Year 2023 – 2024
Fiscal Year 2024-25 marks the fourth fiscal year to be completed under the terms of Measure Y, approved by voters on March 2, 2020. Measure Y directs 54% of tax revenues to be allocated to the Police Department, 38% allocated to the Fire Department, and 8% to the Parks and Community Services Department. Attached to this report is the Measure Y Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the Fiscal Year ending June

30. 2024. Our auditors, Maze and Associates, have issued us an unqualified opinion, which means there are no audit findings. The audit has confirmed that Measure Y funds for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 were spent as required by Measure Y.

Maintenance of Effort
Measure Y requires that an annual
maintenance of effort (MOE) be met.

The MOE is an amount of General
Fund spending which must be
dedicated to Police and Fire Services.

The MOE for Police and Fire services
is defined as the Fiscal Year 2024-
25 adopted General Fund operating
budget for each department inflated
by change in the April-to-April San
Francisco Bay Area Consumer Price
Index (CPI).

The MOE requirements for Fiscal Year
2023-24 and FY 2024-25 are shown in
Table 1 below. The MOE is met and
projected to be exceeded for both
fiscal years.

Staffing
Measure Y funding is being used to hire and retain nine (9) additional personneleight (8) firefighters and one (1) administrative staff person. Due to retirements and resignations in both the General Fund and Measure Y, the department has struggled to continually keep the eight allocated firefighter positions filled. At the start of this reporting period, there was one (1) firefighter position vacant. At the end of this reporting period, it is anticipated that all Measure Y firefighter positions will be filled.

Apparatus & Equipment
Measure Y funds were used for the following apparatus and equipment related purchases:
• Replaced two staff vehicles
• LifePak 15 Defibrillator, second payment
• Repairs on apparatus and vehicles
• Station uniforms
• Personal protective equipment
Paramedic Training Program for EMTs
The WFD sponsored three local EMTs through the Paramedic Core Course being offered through South Bay Regional Public Safety Training. The three participants began with the Core Phase (Didactic), which is the first phase of the Paramedic Core Course on November 25, 2023 and completed the course on April 19, 2024. The second phase was the Clinical Course (Hospital Internship) which started on May 1, 2024 and was completed July 12, 2024.

This participant is set to participate in the upcoming academy in the Fall of 2025.

Watsonville Fire Department

Staffing
Police training is crucial and it equips officers with knowledge and skills necessary to handle various situations effectively.

Training also plays an important role in upholding legal standards, reducing errors, and enhancing officer and community safety.

During the reporting period, the personnel was able to attend the following trainings:

Building Maintenance
Measure Y funds were used to improve both fire stations:
• Fire Station 1 received its first coat of paint since it was originally built in 1980. The final payment was made to the vendor during this reporting period. • The rollup doors at Station 1 (four doors) and Station 2 (2 doors) were upgraded. • Work on Station 1 restroom/showers remodel will start in June. During this reporting period, architects completed the design and a contractor was selected to begin the construction phase.
• An extractor will be purchased by the end of this reporting period for Station 2. The extractor is used to clean the personal protective equipment that have exposed to heavy smoke/chemicals.

Supporting
The Mental Health
Of First Responders
Measure Y funds were used to
provide mental health support to first
responders and their families. Mental
health clinicians familiar with the fire
service and the impact incidents can
have on first responders are available
to fire personnel and their families
when needed.

Watsonville Police Department
• Basic Police Academy, a required course for new police officer trainees, the course includes fundamental principles, procedures and techniques of law enforcement. • Field Training Program, a course that provides comprehensive guidelines and structured learning content to facilitate newly-assigned peace officers transitioning from the basic police academy to field training where they gain hands-on experience forming the foundation of their career.
• Crime Scene Investigations, a course that prepares and improves the skills needed by sworn and professional staff in documenting scenes, identifying, processing, and collecting evidence, and it prepares them to testify on their findings. • Chasing Cell Phones, a class that increases law enforcement awareness of evidence and intelligence located in a mobile device and provides detectives with the tools and training to prepare legal demands to lawfully obtain that evidence. • K9 training in detection, patrol, apprehension, and officer protection. The K9s enhanced sense of smell and agility make them invaluable tools in a variety of law enforcement operations.

Specialized Department Equipment and Technology:
• Unmanned aerial systems (UAS/Drones), equipment used to help solve crime, as well as protect life and property. Some of the uses include search and rescue, photographic evidence collection, overwatch during emergency incidents, response to calls for service, accident and crime scene reconstructions. • Desk Online Reporting System (DORS), allows community members to report crimes online. DORS has improved response times because it allows officers to attend to higher priority calls and it provides the community with a secure online reporting system that’s available 24/7.
• Cellebrite Inc, software that allows law enforcement to have access to critical digital evidence from smartphones to uncover leads faster and expedite case resolution.

The WPD continues to enhance community engagement programming to foster trust and develop coordinated efforts with the community and local non-profits. During the reporting period, the WPD organized the following events:

Agua con la Chota:

An educational program that engages
local farm workers to speak about
topics that matter to them. The goal is
to help break down barriers and build
trust between the community and
police.

Post Incident Team (PIT):

Composed of police and neighborhood
leaders who are brought together
after a serious incident has occurred.

With proper briefing from police, the
PIT is strategically sent out to the
neighborhood in crisis in an effort
to help calm fears and disseminate
information about counseling or other
social services.

Coffee with a Cop:

A free and informal gathering that
allows the WPD to connect with
community members in casual
conversation over coffee to improve
trust and build relationships.

National Night Out:

An annual community-focused
event that strengthens partnerships
between police and residents, fosters
neighborhood unity, and promotes
public safety. It also serves as an
opportunity for WPD to educate the
public about local safety programs
and initiatives.

Cadet Program:
provides youth the opportunity to
explore the law enforcement field as
a possible career choice. Cadets are
rotated through a variety of divisions
to experience the many aspects of law
enforcement and they take on several
different roles during community
events and serve as liaisons between
the police and the youth in the
community.

WPD Youth Academy:

A week-long summer program that
allows local youth to gain insights
into the work of law enforcement,
the various roles and responsibilities
of police officers, and a deeper
understanding of community policing
while exploring diverse career options.

It strives to create a safe environment
for youth to engage in pro-social,
educational, and recreational activities
during summer, propose teamwork
and an opportunity to build positive
relationships.

Caminos hacia el Éxito
Measure Y funds the Caminos hacia el Éxito Program, a diversion program for Watsonville youth who commit a first offense (misdemeanor), which uses evidencebased approaches to hold the youth accountable for their actions. Eligible youth and their families are provided with evidence-based activities such as case management, counseling, restorative circles, mentoring, pro-social activities and a parenting component, such as guiding good choices, a program proven to reduce juvenile delinquency by improving the parents’ skills and bonding with the youth. Once a youth successfully completes the program, the WPD seals the police record per AB 2425. This law aims to support youth development and ensures that all youth have a chance to be kids and the opportunity to thrive in their community.

To date, 261 youth have accepted to participate in Caminos under the Measure Y funding and 205 have successfully completed the program. Of the youth that completed the program successfully, 89% remain arrest free. In addition, a total of 12,152 community service hours were completed by the 205 youth who successfully completed the program. The WPD attributes the success of this program to the strong collaboration with our partners: Pajaro Valley Prevention & Student Assistance, Inc., Santa Cruz County Office of Education, Watsonville Police Activities League, Pajaro Valley Unified School District and the County of Santa Cruz Probation Department.

Parks & Community Services
Measure Y, which was approved by voters in March 2020, included language that allocates eight percent (8%) of the public safety sales tax measure to the Parks and Community Services Department. Language in the Measure states, “the public safety sales tax measure will enable the City to hire more parks and recreation staff for youth prevention programs, increase recreation services to neighborhoods, and upgrade equipment and facilities to increase and improve safe places for youth in the Watsonville
Free After-School and Summer Programs
The Gene Hoularis & Waldo Rodriguez (GHWR) Youth Center continued to serve as an outlet for youth looking to engage in positive after-school programming. Measure Y funds are used to expand program hours and funds staffing and operations so that these facilities can remain open on Friday from 1:30 pm to 9:00 pm and Saturdays from 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

This represents a 55% increase in weekly operating hours during the academic school year compared to prior to receiving these funds. This has allowed the team to plan engaging, positive activities for youth and teens to participate in during these crucial out-of-school times, including video game and sporting event nights, physical activity events, and more.

The free “Passport to Fun Membership” for Watsonville youth removes financial barriers allowing all youth regardless of financial status the opportunity to participate in GHWR Youth Center programming, programming at the Environmental Science Workshop and other youth programs, events and field trips. The Youth Center saw over 3,000 member check-ins on Fridays and Saturdays from July 1st, 2024, to April 30th 2025.

The Parks and Community Services Department (PCS) is dedicated to creating exceptional experiences that enhance the quality of life. PCS is a key provider of high-quality recreational and community programs, special events, and facilities that provide recreational experiences, foster human development, promote health and wellness, increase cultural unity, facilitate community problem solving, protect natural resources, strengthen safety and security, strengthen community building and support economic development. The Department is comprised of a Parks Division and a Recreation Division.

The Parks Division strives to provide safe, clean, and green parks and open spaces for the community to enjoy. Division teammates protect environmental resources and strengthen community image and sense of place within the City’s neighborhoods by maintaining Watsonville’s 26 public parks (143 acres), street median islands, City trees and landscaping, and public grounds. The Recreation Division provides recreation and leisure services throughout the community, including at seven recreation centers, and through youth development programs, youth and adult sports, aquatics,adult and senior programs, camps, classes, facility rentals, and community special events.

Park, Playground and Recreation Facility Maintenance

1st Annual Report
REPORTING PERIOD:

2 OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE

FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY
2024-2025
Approved by voters in November 2022, Measure R enacted a one half of one percent (0.5%) transaction use tax in the City of Watsonville. The revenue from Measure R is intended to support various community improvements, including investing in repair and expansion of aging parks, maintaining afterschool and gang prevention programs, fixing potholes streets, and expanding library services. Fiscal Year 2024-25 is the second full year of Measure R revenue proceeds and expenditures.

Table 1 is a financial projection of our current fiscal year 24/25. We are projecting revenues slightly below the budgeted amount. Expenditures are projected to be significantly lower than budgeted because of several capital improvement projects being carried forward to next fiscal year’s budget. The budget carryforwards for the year total about 5.2MM. The largest pending projects are the Nature Center Building and the proposed street work at Bridge Street.

We are projecting the ending fund balance for the fiscal year 24/25 to be approximately $8.6MM. These monies, minus the 20% reserve requirement, will be reappropriated for various capital improvement projects in the next fiscal year.

I am pleased to share the Revenue Measure Oversight
Committee’s 1st Annual Report for the year ending June
30, 2025. In the 2022 Primary Election Watsonville voters approved this half-cent sales tax — now called Measure
R. This measure went into effect on March 1st, 2023.

The Revenue Measure Oversight Committee meets
twice yearly to review the use of Measure R Revenues by Watsonville’s Library, Parks and Recreation, and Public Works and Utilities departments. The half-cent sales
tax measure includes accountability provisions and the
committee is tasked with making sure that all tax revenue is properly received, allocated, and spent in compliance with Measure R.

The Committee looks forward
to continuing to work with the
community to ensure the
ongoing success of Measure
R. Reports, presentations,
and other information are
available for public review at
watsonvilleo.gov.

A LETTER FROM THE COMMITTEE CHAIR
Sincerely,
Beatriz Vazquez Flores

3 We are currently working with a municipal advisor to issue a Lease Revenue Bond to be able to fund the funding gap for the Ramsay Park Renaissance Project as well as provide a secondary funding source to the City Plaza project, which also has a $3.5MM state grant. This sales tax measure is a powerful reflection of our community’s commitment to investing in itself and building a stronger future. It is because of this support that in the next year we will have the resources available to push forward projects that improve quality of life.

The Finance Department is currently working with all departments on the 25/26 budget. In this next year budget, we can fund two very exciting projects which are a real measure of turning big ideas into real progress for our community. We will be funding our Streetlights project citywide at $1.9MM and the Library Rooftop project at $2.6MM.

Watsonville Library Department
The Watsonville Public Library (WPL) strives to provide information, materials, and services in a welcoming place where people gather, learn, and celebrate our multicultural community. While the City offers a variety of exceptional services, the Library Department has the potential to deliver its services more effectively, strategically, and with a greater focus on the future—ultimately enhancing the quality of life for our residents.

W/PL is in the second year of its five-year strategic plan. This plan is relevant, practical, and achievable, considering our economic constraints and potential. It aligns with the City of Watsonville’s Strategic Plan, articulates the library’s priorities, and guides policy decisions. It also enables staff to develop feasible, actionable strategies to address priorities, implement policies, and allocate resources effectively for both the Main Library and the Freedom Branch Library.

The Watsonville Asset Builders Collaborative focuses on providing youth in the Pajaro Valley with essential “assets”—the building blocks they need to feel valued, respected, and recognized. The collaborative also coordinates all youth-serving organizations in Pajaro Valley to achieve collective impact.

Measure R funds were utilized to implement the Search Institute’s Developmental Asset Profile (DAP) survey, which was administered to over 300 youth across our programs. This investment supported professional data collection services, along with staff coordination, materials, and outreach efforts to ensure strong participation. The DAP survey provided valuable insights into the strengths, supports, and challenges experienced by the youth we serve, helping us better understand their developmental needs and refine our programming to more effectively support their growth and well-being.

7 Measure R funding played a vital role in supporting
Spring Break programming at the Nucleus (formerly,
the Science Workshop) by enabling the expansion of
hands-on science activities for youth.

With this funding, the program was able to offer engaging experiments, STEM challenges, and interactive
workshops that sparked curiosity and deepened
participants’ interest in science.

The additional resources helped provide materials,
staff support, and equipment needed to deliver a highquality, educational experience during the school break.

Green Valley Rd Improvement Project – Carey Avenue to
Thicket Lane
The Green Valley Road Improvement project is partially funded by Measure R. Green Valley Road is a vital arterial, serving over 20,000 vehicles per day. The pavement is showing its age, with much of this stretch of roadway in poor condition. The sheer number of trench cuts for the utilities combined with the general poor condition of the pavement contributes to the need to reconstruct the roadway. The Public Works and Utilities Department recently completed an underground utility project to replace sanitary sewer and waterlines on Green Valley Rd. The roadway rehabilitation project will repair the pavement damaged by the utility construction, as well as replace the pavement which has outlived its useful life.

This project will reconstruct 2,200 linear feet of roadway, as well as replace curb ramps and provide a new Audible Pedestrian Signal (APS) at Carnation Drive.

BACKGROUND:

At its February 11, 2025, meeting, Council approved Resolution No. 43-25 (CM), accepting the City of Watsonville 2024 Pavement Management Program Update Report. The Report was prepared by Harris & Associates and assessed the condition of existing city roads and provided a six-year plan for pavement projects. Harris was retained to assist with the preparation of construction documents for the projects proposed for Year 1 and to be done as part of the 2025 Pavement Repair Project. Plans and specifications have been prepared for the 2025 Pavement Repair Project, No. ST-25-15187, which are ready to be advertised for bids.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Watsonville 2025 Pavement Repair Project consists of performing pavement maintenance and light rehabilitation of approximately 3.8 miles of existing street segments throughout the city, including:
 Harkins Slough Road from Green Valley Road to Ohlone Parkway  Harkins Slough Road from Ohlone Parkway to Blackbird Circle  Loma Prieta Avenue from Green Valley Road to Airport Boulevard  Green Valley Road from Main Street to Loma Prieta Avenue

2  Freedom Boulevard from Alta Vista Avenue to Main Street  Kilburn Street from Ford Street to West 5th Street
 Ford Street from Rodriguez Street to Walker Street
Pavement maintenance and rehabilitation activities include the repair of localized base failures (dig-outs), Slurry Seal, 3-Layer Treatment Systems, and Mill and Inlays. New pavement surfaces will provide a smooth and safe right for bicyclists and vehicles and will be re-striped to current standards and provide improved visibility and pedestrian safety at crosswalks. The project scope is based on the city’s Pavement Management Program (PMP) for Year 1 (2025).

A bid opening is tentatively scheduled for July 29, 2025, and the plans and specifications are on file in the City Clerk’s Office. The engineer’s estimated construction cost for this project is $2,358,000 and will be financed with SB 1 funds.

Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment.

Infrastructure & Environment
Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER

The lease covers approximately 3,063 square feet of office space. The office's original lease began on 11/15/2007 and was set to expire on June 30, 2018. A First Amendment was executed on August 28, 2018, extending the Lease term to June 30, 2025.

DISCUSSION:

The District Attorney would like to continue leasing the space. The key terms of the proposed Second Amendment are as follows:

All other terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement dated November 15, 2007, will remain in full force and effect.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

This action is not a project as defined under CEQA; therefore, no environmental review is required.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Economic Development - The recommended action is consistent with the City’s Strategic Plan goals to strengthen economic development by supporting and retaining local businesses.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The lease will generate $114,560.40 in rental income for the General Fund during the first year of the amendment, with a subsequent increase of up to 4% each year thereafter for the duration of the lease.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The City Council may choose not to authorize the Second Amendment to this lease. This would require the City to seek a new tenant, potentially resulting in a loss of rental revenue and a vacancy period of unspecified duration.

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, June 24, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR FONTES
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH HARRIS & ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR THE ON CALL ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT

REVIEW SERVICES AND INCREASING COMPENSATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $150,000 AND EXTENDING THE TERM TO JUNE 30, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Council adopt a resolution approving the First Amendment to Contract with Harris & Associates, Inc. for on-call engineering and development review services, increasing compensation by $150,000 for a total amount not to exceed $350,000 and extending the Contract term to June 30, 2026.

BACKGROUND:

On June 25, 2024, the Council adopted Resolution No. 115-24 (CM) awarding a consultant contract for one year to Harris & Associates, Inc., for on-call engineering and development review services, in an amount not to exceed $200,000.

The Public Works & Utilities Department’s Engineering Division continues to be in need of staff augmentation support due to vacant positions causing unbalanced workloads resulting in delays in active and future development projects.

DISCUSSION:

The search for qualified candidates to fill the vacancies has not yielded any results and it is not expected that they will be filled.

Amending the contract with Harris & Associates, Inc. will prevent delays to active and future development projects and continue to ease the workload on City Staff. The First Amendment to Contract with Harris &

2 Associates, Inc., for on-call engineering services and development review services increases the compensation by $150,000 for a total amount not to exceed $350,000 and extends the term to June 30, 2026. Staff recommend the First Amendment to Contract with Harris & Associates, Inc. for on-call engineering services and development review services be approved.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

No additional California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review is required for the Contract Amendment with Harris & Associates. On June 25, 2024, the City Council declared the On-Call Engineering and Development Review Services as exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (b)(5), as it does not meet CEQA’s definition of a “project”. Further, the approval of the First Amendment to Contract for On-Call Engineering and Development Review Services is an administrative activity that would not have the potential to either (1) cause a direct physical change in the environment, or (2) cause a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Therefore, no CEQA action is required at this time.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This amendment is consistent with the Strategic Plan Goals:
2-Infrastructure & Environment
3-Housing
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The costs associated with this contract are paid for by developer fees for each specific project, as appropriate.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

Not approving the amendment would place an additional burden on City staff and slow the development review efforts which may cause delays.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, June 24, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT MANAGER VU-DUC
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO GRANT SUB-AWARD FROM

NATIONAL OCEANIC & ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION VIA

CALIFORNIA MARINE SANCTUARY FOUNDATION
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution approving Grant Sub-award Agreement Amendment No. 1 to update the new Code of Federal Regulations and allow greater flexibility for invoice submission.

BACKGROUND:

In January 2025, the City Council accepted a $250,000 grant sub-award from the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as awarded via the California Marine Sanctuary Foundation (CMSF) to fund regional capacity building as part of the Regional Adaptation for Climate Resilience of Monterey Bay Coastal Communities project (Resolution 8-25).

DISCUSSION:

Since the drafting of the sub-award agreement, the National Archives and Records Administration has released updates to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) applicable to all NOAA. The new CFRs update the terms and conditions for all federal awards with a current hyperlink to:
 Updated Department of Commerce Financial Assistance General Terms and Conditions  Updated NOAA Administrative Specific and Standard Award Conditions In addition to the federally obligated updates above, Amendment No. 1 also makes the minor administrative updates of:

2  Allowing grant sub-awardee invoice submission frequency between 1-3 months  Updating CMSF staff administrator contact details
Some of the further updates are specific to other grant sub-awardees and therefore not applicable to the City of Watsonville’s scope of work.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that adopting a Resolution approving an amendment to a grant subaward agreement to update administrative terms and conditions does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and because the action constitutes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and if a “project,” is exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This project supports the following Strategic Plan priorities:

Infrastructure & Environment
Fiscal Health
Efficient and Well-performing Government
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact for the city. Amending this sub-award agreement, which appropriated $250,000 to the Special Grants Fund as authorized by Resolution No. 8-25, is free of cost.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:

Required Use of American Iron, Steel, Manufactured Products, and Construction Materials Buy America Preference. Recipients of an award of Federal financial assistance from the Department of Commerce (Department) for a program for infrastructure are hereby notified that none of the funds provided under this award may be used for an infrastructure project unless:

1. all iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States – this means all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States;

2. all manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States – this means the manufactured product was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another standard that meets or exceeds this standard has been established under applicable law or regulation for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product; and

3. all construction materials are manufactured in the United States – this means that all manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States. The construction materials standards are listed below.

Incorporation into an infrastructure project. The Buy America Preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy America Preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.

Categorization of articles, materials, and supplies. An article, material, or supply should only be classified into one of the following categories: (i) Iron or steel products; (ii) Manufactured products; (iii) Construction materials; or (iv) Section 70917(c) materials. An article, material, or supply should not be considered to fall into multiple categories. In some cases, an article, material, or supply may not fall under any of the categories listed in this paragraph. The classification of an article, material, or supply as falling into one of the categories listed in this paragraph must be made based on its status at the time it is brought to the work site for incorporation into an infrastructure project. In general, the work site is the location of the infrastructure project at which the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials will be incorporated.

Application of the Buy America Preference by category. An article, material, or supply incorporated into an Exhibit A

infrastructure project must meet the Buy America Preference for only the single category in which it is classified.

Determining the cost of components for manufactured products. In determining whether the cost of components for manufactured products is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components, use the following instructions:
a. For components purchased by the manufacturer, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the manufactured product (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or b. For components manufactured by the manufacturer, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (a), plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the manufactured product.

Construction material standards. The Buy America Preference applies to the following construction materials incorporated into infrastructure projects. Each construction material is followed by a standard for the material to be considered “produced in the United States.” Except as specifically provided, only a single standard should be applied to a single construction material.

1. Non-ferrous metals. All manufacturing processes, from initial smelting or melting through final shaping, coating, and assembly, occurred in the United States.

2. Plastic and polymer-based products. All manufacturing processes, from initial combination of constituent plastic or polymer-based inputs, or, where applicable, constituent composite materials, until the item is in its final form, occurred in the United States.

3. Glass. All manufacturing processes, from initial batching and melting of raw materials through annealing, cooling, and cutting, occurred in the United States.

4. Fiber optic cable (including drop cable). All manufacturing processes, from the initial ribboning (if applicable), through buffering, fiber stranding and jacketing, occurred in the United States. All manufacturing processes also include the standards for glass and optical fiber, but not for non-ferrous metals, plastic and polymer-based products, or any others.

5. Optical fiber. All manufacturing processes, from the initial preform fabrication stage through the completion of the draw, occurred in the United States.

6. Lumber. All manufacturing processes, from initial debarking through treatment and planing, occurred in the United States.

7. Drywall. All manufacturing processes, from initial blending of mined or synthetic gypsum plaster and additives through cutting and drying of sandwiched panels, occurred in the United States.

8. Engineered wood. All manufacturing processes from the initial combination of constituent materials until the wood product is in its final form, occurred in the United States.

Waivers
When necessary, recipients may apply for, and the Department may grant, a waiver from these requirements.

To help federal agencies and recipients meet BABA requirements, the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) National Network™ provides a service to connect stakeholders, including recipients, to U.S. manufacturers that have relevant production capabilities and capacities to help fulfill current market and supply chain needs. Recipients considering a BABA nonavailability waiver are strongly encouraged to contact the NIST/MEP for assistance with supplier scouting services prior to seeking a BABA nonavailability waiver. Further information on the NIST/MEP supplier scouting services is available at: https://nist.gov/mep/supply-chain/supplier-scouting.

When the Department has made a determination that one of the following exceptions applies, the awarding official may waive the application of the Buy America Preference in any case in which the Department determines that:
applying the Buy America Preference would be inconsistent with the public interest (public interest waiver); the types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the United States in Exhibit A

sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality (nonavailability waiver); or the inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent (unreasonable cost waiver).

A request to waive the application of the Buy America Preference must be in writing. The Department will provide instructions on the format, contents, and supporting materials required for any waiver request. Waiver requests are subject to public comment periods of no less than 15 days and must be reviewed by the Made in America Office.

There may be instances where an award qualifies, in whole or in part, for an existing waiver described on the Department’s Build America, Buy America website found at https://www.commerce.gov/oam/build-america-buyamerica.

Definitions
“Buy America Preference” means the “domestic content procurement preference” set forth in section 70914 of the Build America, Buy America Act, which requires the head of each Federal agency to ensure that none of the funds made available for a Federal award for an infrastructure project may be obligated unless all of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials incorporated into the project are produced in the United States. “Construction materials” means articles, materials, or supplies that consist of only one of the items listed in paragraph (1) of this definition, except as provided in paragraph (2) of this definition. To the extent one of the items listed in paragraph (1) contains as inputs other items listed in paragraph (1), it is nonetheless a construction material.

1. The listed items are:
i. Non-ferrous metals;
ii. Plastic and polymer-based products (including polyvinylchloride, composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cables);
iii. Glass (including optic glass);
iv. Fiber optic cable (including drop cable);
v. Optical fiber;
vi. Lumber;
vii. Engineered wood; and
vii. Drywall.

2. Minor additions of articles, materials, supplies, or binding agents to a construction material do not change the categorization of the construction material.
“Infrastructure” means public infrastructure projects in the United States, which includes, at a minimum, the structures, facilities, and equipment for roads, highways, and bridges; public transportation; dams, ports, harbors, and other maritime facilities; intercity passenger and freight railroads; freight and intermodal facilities; airports; water systems, including drinking water and wastewater systems; electrical transmission facilities and systems; utilities; broadband infrastructure; and buildings and real property; and structures, facilities, and equipment that generate, transport, and distribute energy including electric vehicle (EV) charging. “Infrastructure project” means any activity related to the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of infrastructure in the United States regardless of whether infrastructure is the primary purpose of the project. See also paragraphs (c) and (d) of 2 CFR 184.4.
“Iron or steel products” means articles, materials, or supplies that consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both.
“Manufactured products” means:

1. Articles, materials, or supplies that have been:

Exhibit A

i. Processed into a specific form and shape; or
ii. Combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies.

2. If an item is classified as an iron or steel product, a construction material, or a Section 70917(c) material under 2 CFR 184.4(e) and the definitions set forth in 2 CFR 184.3, then it is not a manufactured product. However, an article, material, or supply classified as a manufactured product under 2 CFR 184.4(e) and paragraph (1) of this definition may include components that are construction materials, iron or steel products, or Section 70917(c) materials. “Predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both” means that the cost of the iron and steel content exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron and steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components. “Section 70917(c) materials” means cement and cementitious materials; aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel; or aggregate binding agents or additives. See Section 70917(c) of the Build America, Buy America Act.

NOAA Substantial Involvement for Cooperative Agreement
This award is a cooperative agreement as described in 2 C.F.R. 200.1, meaning that the NOAA is substantially involved in the project. NOAAs partnership involves the following:

Coordination and Oversight
NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) staff will coordinate and collaborate with the recipient on programmatic, administrative, and other award-related matters and provide guidance and assistance in the management and execution of the cooperative agreement throughout the period of performance.

OCM staff will closely monitor the execution of the award, and in its discretion, may review or monitor subawards for which the Recipient remains responsible. NOAA may require milestones before subsequent stages of the project may continue.

NOAA may limit the recipient s discretion with respect to the scope of work, organizational structure, staffing, mode of operations, and other management processes, which will be coupled with close monitoring of operational involvement during performance.

Technical Assistance
OCM and other NOAA staff will provide additional technical assistance to the recipient and participate in programmatic activities as needed. The specific terms (e.g., type, frequency, duration) of the technical assistance will be identified and agreed upon by the recipient and NOAA during the first four months of the period of performance and documented in a Technical Assistance Plan as part of the cooperative agreement. The Technical Assistance Plan may include known and anticipated assistance from OCM or other NOAA staff such as training delivery, facilitation and convening, geospatial services, tool and resource development, and other subject matter consultation. The Technical Assistance Plan will be an iterative document that captures evolving and emerging needs as the project progresses for the duration of the period of performance and may be updated on a semiannual basis as needed.

Climate Resilience Regional Challenge Fellowships
If this award involves one or more Coastal Resilience Fellows, each fellow is anticipated to collaborate on the Recipient s project for a period of up to two years, starting in 2025. Recipients are expected to cooperate with NOAA to establish fellowship activities for the project. A second round of fellows may also be considered under the award, subject to NOAA approval.

The Recipient will coordinate with NOAA as needed to ensure that the fellow s project activities remain consistent with program objectives. The Recipient must also coordinate with a third party administrator on implementation of the fellowship program, including ensuring that a salary, stipend, or other funding is provided to the fellow. Fellows are not agents or assignees of NOAA, and NOAA is not responsible for supervising or controlling the means and manner of any fellow's participation in the project, or establishing the work schedule or tenure for the fellow.

Specific responsibilities of the Recipient also include providing the following for each fellow:

A specific two-year project for which the fellow can play a meaningful role; Office space, supplies, and equipment (such as a computer and any specific software); and Exhibit A

A mentor to provide professional development advice and support, ensure the fellow is integrated into the project team and office, look for opportunities for the fellow to gain skills and experience, and supervise the fellow s project work.

Coastal Geospatial Services
Upon request, NOAA will collaborate with the Recipient on the potential for cooperative use of NOAA s Coastal Geospatial Services Contract (CGSC) for geospatial data and services.

Post Award Environmental Review Process
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Requirements for Change of Scope: Under Department of Commerce Standard Terms and Conditions G.04.a., the Recipient isrequired to identify to NOAA any impact the award will have on the quality of the human environment, and assist NOAA in complying with NEPA and associated environmental laws and policies. For any tasks or sub-tasks with a Special Award Condition attached requiring further NOAA Office for Coastal Management review prior to full approval, the Office for Coastal Management will review these tasks to determine the appropriate level of National Environmental Policy Act analysis, and if additional information is necessary.

If the scope of an award amendment has changed from the original grant scope (e.g., funding is being awarded for additional construction not originally considered), then NOAAwill consider if the change implicates the National Environmental Policy Act even if it was considered in the original award of the grant. A Categorical Exclusion, Environmental Assessment, or Environmental Impact Statement may be prepared for grant amendments, depending on scope of the amendment and what type of analysis is appropriate. For additional grant cycle steps, such as the release of funds, cost extensions, and other administrative steps that do not change the scope of the original grant award where NEPA was conducted, a NEPA review will not need to be conducted again.

NOAA may require additional information to fulfill post award NEPA and environmental compliance review requirements. If NOAA determines that an environmental assessment is required, applicants may also be required to assist in drafting the assessment. Applicants may also be required to cooperate with NOAA in identifying and implementing feasible measures to reduce or avoid any identified adverse environmental impacts of their proposal.

Supplemental Reporting Guidance
This Special Award Condition supplements reporting requirements in 2 C.F.R. 200.328-200.330, the Department of Commerce Standard Terms and Conditions and NOAA Administrative Standard Award Conditions. (a) Format: Performance reports shall address the subject areas specified in Office for Coastal Management, FY 2024 Inflation Reduction Act Funding Performance Report Guidelines , which is available from the NOAA Office for Coastal Management and may be attached to this award.
(b) NOAA will coordinate with the recipient to develop performance metrics that will be used to evaluate the implementation of the projects. Additionally, NOAA will work with all CRRC recipients to develop resilience metrics for the CRRC program to evaluate the impact of adaptation efforts to build coastal resilience.

Land Acquisition Special Award Conditions- General Requirements A. General requirements on land acquisitions and conservation easements The Recipient shall comply with all requirements set forth in the Department of Commerce Financial Assistance Standard Terms and Conditions and 2 CFR 200, including 2 CFR 200.311, and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA- 42 USC 4601 et seq., and implementing regulations issued at 15 CFR Part 11 and 49 CFR 24). The URA includes providing for fair and equitable treatment of displaced persons or of persons whose property is acquired as a result of Federal or Federally-assisted programs. These requirements apply to all interests in real property acquired for project purposes regardless of Federal participation in purchases. The URA also includes requirements regarding notifications to the property owner and conflict of interest considerations. Consistent with these requirements, the term real property as used in these Exhibit A

Conditions includes fee interests as well as conservation easements. Unless approved by NOAA, conservation easements shall be perpetual in nature (as opposed to a conservation easement for a set term of years).

The Recipient agrees (a) Not to use any power of eminent domain available to the Recipient (including the commencement of eminent domain proceedings) for use in connection with the project for the purpose of advancing the economic interests of private parties; (b) Not to accept title to land, easements, or other interest in land acquired by the use of any power of eminent domain for use in connection with the project for such purposes; and (c) Any use of the power of eminent domain to acquire land, easements or interests in land, whether by the recipient or any other entity that has the power of eminent domain, in connection with the project without prior written consent of the operating unit constitutes an unauthorized activity and/or use of funds under the award, and subjects the recipient to appropriate enforcement action by the Grants Officer, including but not limited to the disallowance of award costs and the termination of an award.

B. Post-acquisition requirements
The Recipient shall manage the Property in accordance with the award. With the written approval of NOAA, Recipient may transfer the property to a public agency or entity that in the transfer document agrees to continue to manage the property in accordance with the award and to not further transfer the property without the written approval of NOAA. In the event NOAA becomes aware of title discrepancies or encumbrances that NOAA deems to interfere with the purpose for which these funds were granted, or if NOAA determines that the property has ceased to be used for the original purpose as approved by NOAA, the Recipient shall reimburse NOAAfor the Federal funds received for the project as provided in 2 CFR 200.311.

C. Deed Restriction Language

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, June 24, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL DESANTE
RECOMMENDED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR BRLETIC
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING CONTRACT AMENDMENTS TO CSG CONSULTANTS, INC., AND 4LEAF, INC. FOR PERMITTING SERVICES.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend that the City Council adopt resolutions:

1. Approving Fifth Amendment to contract with CSG Consultants, Inc. (CSG) for an additional two-year period to cover costs for plan review, inspection, and permit technician services, in an amount not to exceed $250,000 per fiscal year ($1,550,000 total); and

2. Approving Third Amendment to contract with 4Leaf, Inc. (4Leaf) for the 2024-2025 FY contract for an additional $40,000 ($160,000 total) and to extend the contract for an additional two-year period to cover the costs for plan review and inspections services in an amount not to exceed $150,000 per fiscal year ($460,000 total) BACKGROUND:

The Community Development Department currently utilizes professional consultant services to assist with the processing of building permit applications, review development plans for commercial and residential projects, and conduct inspections of construction work.

DISCUSSION:

The services provided to the City by contracts with both CSG and 4LEAF cover all aspects of the permitting process and have been in place for the past six years. The coverage includes Permit Technician services, where assistance is provided to the front counter by creating permits, answering phones, issuing permits, processing fees and other front office work.

They provide comprehensive digital reviews of all permit applications including residential and commercial construction, additions, and alterations, solar, and single-trade permits. The inspection services provide inspectors who are qualified

2 to inspect all issued permit types. Beneficially, all services are scalable based on the level of work in demand for each service provided.

The cost for these contract services are covered by applicants through the fees they pay during the permitting process, i.e., the consultants receive a percentage of the fees paid to the City.

CEQA DETERMINATION:

Adopting resolution(s) approving an amendment to the each contract are exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(5), in that they do not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the actions do not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and even if deemed a “project”, it would be exempt under the “common sense” exception, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that these actions may have a significant effect on the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This recommendation is consistent with the following council strategic goals:
 Economic development
 Housing
 Fiscal health
 Efficient and well-performing government
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no direct financial impact to the City on professional contract services as the cost for services are based on the number and type of applications and collected through permitting fees prior to conducting work.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The City Council could choose not to amend these contracts, which would cancel the contracts and place the full burden of responsibilities on existing staff to complete. Without additional staffing, this would cause significant delays in providing thorough and timely plan reviews and inspections.

ATTACHMENTS AND/OR REFERENCES:

None.
