A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE

APPROVING SOLE SOURCE VENDOR AND FIVE-YEAR LICENSE

AGREEMENT WITH INNOVATIVE INTERFACES INCORPORATED, A

CLARIVATE COMPANY, FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND SOFTWARE
SUPPORT OF WATSONVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY’S INTEGRATED
LIBRARY SYSTEM (ILS), IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $470,349.09;

AND AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT (FUNDED FROM ACCOUNT 620-7322)
WHEREAS, competitive bidding requirements for the purchase of supplies, equipment and non-personal contractual services and the sale of personal property are set forth in Chapter 5 of Title 3 of the Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, subdivision (c) of § 3-5.210 exempts supplies and materials which are unique, available only from one source, or sought to match existing equipment or supplies already in use (also known as a sole source purchase); and WHEREAS, Innovative Interfaces Inc., a Clarivate company, has provided maintenance and software support for the Watsonville Public Library’s Integrated Library System (Sierra ILS) since 2004. Sierra combines library operational workflows with an open architecture that supports staff tasks through a web-based interface and provides patrons with access to library services.

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

1. This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that adopting a Resolution approving a sole source purchase for a license agreement 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

Page 243 of 299 ends

Reso No. (CM)
Meeting Date: 101326 2
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.

2. The Council finds that the services provided by Innovative Interfaces Inc., a Clarivate company, is available from one source that meets the needs of the City of Watsonville Public Library’s technology infrastructure.

3. This purchase is exempt from the purchasing procedures of Chapter 5 of Title 3 of the Municipal Code as a sole source purchase under subdivision (c) of § 3-5.210 of the Municipal Code.

4. That the five-year license agreement between the City of Watsonville and Innovative Interfaces Inc., a Clarivate company, in the form attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference in an amount not to exceed $470,349.09, is hereby awarded.

5. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to execute said Agreement for and on behalf of the City of Watsonville, , with minor revisions that may be approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.

Where an Information Service is available via a Clarivate-provided web platform, subject to the Product functionality, Authorized Users may view, download and print reasonable amounts of the Licensed Information for their own individual use. We determine a “reasonable amount” of Licensed Information by comparing user activity against the average activity rates for all other users of the same product. (c) Distribution. Authorized Users may on an infrequent, irregular and ad hoc basis, distribute limited extracts of the Licensed Information internally to non-authorized users as incidental samples or for illustrative or demonstration purposes in reports or other documentation created in the ordinary course of their role. We determine a ‘limited extract’ as an amount of Licensed Information that has no independent commercial value and could not be used as a substitute for any service or product (or a substantial part of it) provided by us, our affiliates or third party providers.

Licensed Information may also be distributed: (i) amongst Authorized Users; (ii) to government and regulatory authorities investigating you, if specifically requested; (iii) to persons acting on your behalf, to the extent required to provide legal or financial advice to you, and (iv) to third parties upon execution of a written agreement between Clarivate and the third party.

(c) Limitation. The aggregate liability of each of us (and of any of Clarivate’s third party providers) for all claims arising out of or in connection with the Agreement, including for breach of statutory duty, in tort or in negligence (collectively ‘Claims’), will not exceed the amount of any actual direct damages up to the amounts payable in the 12 months prior to the first incident under which liability arose (or where the claim arose in the first 12 months of the Agreement, the amounts that would have been payable in the first 12 months) for the Product that is the subject of the claim.
(d) Claims. You may not assign or transfer Claims and you must bring Claims within 12 months of arising. (e) No liability. We will not be responsible for failures, errors or delays that occur because of (i) your or a third party’s technology or network; (ii) your actions or inaction (other than proper use of the Product), such as failing to follow the usage instructions or adhering to the minimum recommended technical requirements; (iii) changes you make to the Products; (iv) your failure to implement and maintain proper and adequate virus or malware protection and proper and adequate backup and recovery systems; (v) your failure to install updates we have provided to you; or (vi) other causes not attributable to us. If we learn that the Product failed because of one of these, we reserve the right to charge you for our work in investigating the failure at our then currently applicable rates. At your request we will assist you in resolving the failure at a fee to be agreed upon. (f) Third party intellectual property. If a third party sues you claiming that a Product as provided by Clarivate infringes their intellectual property rights then, provided your use of such Product has been in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, we will defend you against the claim and pay damages that a court finally awards against you or that are included in a settlement approved by us, provided that you (i) promptly notify Clarivate in writing of the claim; (ii) supply information we reasonably request; and (iii) allow Clarivate to control the defense and settlement. We have no liability for Claims to the extent caused by items not provided by us. In relation to liability arising solely from one of our third party providers' data, software or other materials, our liability will be limited to the amount we recover from that third party supplier divided by the number of Claims by our customers, including you. (g) Mitigation. Each of us shall take reasonable steps to limit and mitigate any losses, liability, Claims or other costs it may incur under the Agreement and which it may seek to recover from the other, including under any reimbursement or indemnity. Further, in the event a Product infringes or may infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights we may, at our expense and option: (a) replace or modify the Product to make it non-infringing, while maintaining equivalent functionality; (b) procure the right for you to continue using the Product pursuant to this Agreement; or (c) terminate the Product and provide you a refund on a pro-rata basis.

Each of us agrees that damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any misuse of the others intellectual property, confidential information or trade secrets, and each of us may seek equitable relief (including specific performance and injunctive relief) as a remedy for breach of the Agreement.

14. Term, Termination
(a) Term. The term and any renewal terms for the Products are described in your Order. If either of us does not wish to renew the Products set forth in an Order, in whole or in part, they must provide the other with at least 30 days’ written notice before the end of the then current term.

Our notice will specify the cause of the suspension or limitation and, as applicable, the actions you must take to reinstate the Product. If you do not take the actions or the cause cannot be remedied within 30 days, we may terminate the Agreement. Charges remain payable in full during periods of suspension or limitation arising from your action or inaction. (c) Termination. We may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, in relation to a Product which is being discontinued, on 90 days’ written notice. Either of us may terminate the Agreement immediately upon written notice if the other commits a material breach and (if capable of remedy) fails to cure the material breach within 30 days of being notified to do so. Unless we terminate for breach or insolvency, fees will be due for all Products provided through the termination date and any pre-paid charges will be refunded on a pro-rated basis for terminations in accordance with the Agreement. Transition assistance may be provided upon the execution of an Order for such services.
(d) Effect of termination. Except to the extent we have agreed otherwise, upon termination, all your licenses and usage rights granted end immediately and you must permanently uninstall, expunge, delete or destroy the Products and Clarivate IP (including any copies thereof) in your or any third party’s control or possession and, if requested, confirm this in writing. Termination of the Agreement will not (i) relieve you of your obligation to pay Clarivate any amounts you owe up to and including the date of termination; (ii) affect other accrued rights and obligations; or (iii) terminate those parts of the Agreement that by their nature should continue.

15. Force majeure
Other than payment obligations, neither of us shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes that cannot be reasonably controlled by that relevant party, such as (but not limited to) acts of God, acts of any government, war or other hostility, civil disorder, the elements, fire, explosion, power failure, equipment failure, industrial or labor dispute, inability to obtain necessary supplies, and the like.

Page 257 of 299 ends

CLARIVATE | SOFTWARE SUPPORT, SERVICE AVAILABILITY, AND MAINTENANCE (CONVERIS) PAGE 2 Service availability
We endeavor to ensure 99.9% availability of our software and make commercially reasonable efforts to schedule maintenance and system upgrades during the weekends or outside regular business hours (i.e. after regular end of business Pacific Time and before start of business Eastern Time) with reasonable notice. Availability is calculated by dividing the number of minutes the software was available during the Measured Period by the total sum of the minutes in the Measured Period less any Excluded Downtime.

For the purposes of this calculation, (i) the Measured Period is a calendar year and (ii) the Excluded Downtime includes scheduled downtime for system maintenance and release updates, as well as any service unavailability attributable to your breach, any actions or omissions by you or your users, causes beyond our control, or separate instances of unavailability of less than 5 (five) minutes duration each, provided such instances are not of a persistent nature.

If availability falls below 99.9% in a month for three consecutive months, you will be entitled to a credit equal to the prorated amount of the fees for hosting services for any time during such three-month period in which the software was unavailable (other than Excluded Downtime). This credit will be your exclusive remedy for such unavailability.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, October 13, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: WASTEWATER DIVISION MANAGER TELLEZ
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: THREE-YEAR SAAS RENEWAL WITH INSOURCE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS INC. FOR THE AVEVA FLEX SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTION AND SUPPORT

FOR CITY UTILITY OPERATIONS
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution approving a three-year agreement with InSource Software Solutions, Inc., doing business as InSource Solutions, for renewal of the City's AVEVA Flex software subscription and Customer FIRST support, in an amount not to exceed $207,765 for a three-year term, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement including any adjustments to cost or terms that may be required to execute the agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The City's utility operations rely on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to monitor and control utility equipment and processes. Maintaining the AVEVA Flex software used to support these systems provides staff access to software updates, maintenance releases, and technical assistance.

InSource Solutions is the company that provides the AVEVA Flex software. InSource solutions provided Quote No. 038871, Version 1, dated September 14, 2026, for renewal of AVEVA Customer FIRST Agreement No. 44273 for the City of Watsonville Utilities. The quote offers a one-year renewal or a threeyear subscription with annual billing. Staff recommends the three-year option to establish the quoted annual pricing for the renewal period.

DISCUSSION:

Page 265 of 299 ends

2 The proposed renewal provides an annual allotment of 3,517 AVEVA Flex credits with Premium support.

Flex credits are redeemed for eligible software products and consumed based on the licenses activated.

The quote identifies Development Studio 2023 Small, which supports development and modification of the SCADA application. Before execution, staff will obtain and verify the complete inventory of licenses covered by the agreement to confirm that the renewal meets the City's utility software needs.

The three-year option establishes annual subscription costs of $66,025 for Year 1, $69,135 for Year 2, and $72,605 for Year 3, for a total commitment of $207,765. The one-year option is quoted at $68,430. The first year of the three-year option is therefore $2,405 less than the one-year option. Future standalone one-year renewal prices are not provided, so a total three-year savings comparison is not available, though anticipated to be higher than locking in pricing for three years.

The proposed agreement is a non-cancelable three-year commitment with annual invoicing. Separate annual purchase orders may be used under the vendor's stated terms, but they do not change the threeyear contractual commitment. Additional licenses or credit consumption beyond the contracted amount would result in additional charges and are not included in the proposed authorization.

Staff will confirm the subscription terms before execution. Although the descriptions indicate annual coverage ending in September 2027, September 2028, and September 2029, all three quoted line items display the same start and end dates. Staff will obtain corrected dates consistent with the executed agreement. The quote also identifies the prior agreement as expired September 1, 2026, and states that late renewal may result in a penalty. Any applicable penalty, tax, or other charge must be resolved within the authorized amount before execution; costs exceeding that amount would require further authorization.

The renewal supports continued access to vendor software support and updates. The effect of nonrenewal on operating licenses depends on whether individual licenses are perpetual or subscription based. Staff will verify those license types and avoid converting perpetual licenses without reviewing the resulting ownership implications.

The AVEVA Flex Software Program supplies the City with flexible access to SCADA used at critical facilities.

This includes operational continuity, regulatory compliance, data collection and operational reporting, system monitoring and automation functions. This renewal ensures uninterrupted use of the software and avoids potential penalties.

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 the Software as a Service (SaaS) Renewal agreement for AVEVA Flex software subscription and Customer FIRST support 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

Page 266 of 299 ends

3 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 action is consistent with the following strategic plan goals:

Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The total three-year subscription commitment is $207,765, payable annually. Each annual cost will be allocated equally among Collection Systems, Wastewater, Water, and Recycled Water, with each account charged 25% of the annual invoice, as follows:

Account Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Three-Year Total
Collection Systems 531-7361 $16,506.25 $17,283.75 $18,151.25 $51,941.25 Wastewater 530-7361 $16,506.25 $17,283.75 $18,151.25 $51,941.25 Water 596-7361 $16,506.25 $17,283.75 $18,151.25 $51,941.25 Recycle Water 532-7361 $16,506.25 $17,283.75 $18,151.25 $51,941.25 Total $66,025.00 $69,135.00 $72,605.00 $207,765.00
Year 1 corresponds to the proposed 2026-2027 subscription period, Year 2 to 2027-2028, and Year 3 to 2028-2029, subject to confirmation of the final contractual dates. Finance will confirm the appropriate fiscal year accounting and availability of funds in the listed accounts before execution. The contractual obligation for Years 2 and 3 must be incorporated into future budget planning.

The amounts above reflect the quoted subscription pricing and do not include separately assessed taxes, fees, additional credits, or late-renewal penalties.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The City Council could approve the one-year renewal at $68,430 rather than committing it to three years.

Under the same allocation, each of the four accounts would be charged $17,107.50 for that year. This option provides shorter commitment but costs $2,405 more in the first year and does not establish pricing for subsequent renewals.

This Contract is applicable to the following location: City of Watsonville Utilities, Site ID: 20444, 500 Clearwater Lane Watsonville, California 95076 (“Client”). All capitalized terms and phrases used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings given to them in the Order. All provisions of the ISS Terms and Conditions not otherwise addressed herein shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

This Contract grants to Client a noncancelable three-year subscription to use the AVEVAsoftware (“Subscription”) noted herein.

(due not later than Subscription
Term start date)
Annual Subscription
Payment Schedule
Year 1 Within 3-5 Days of receipt of PO 30 Days from date of ISS Invoice $66,025.00 Year 2 August 2, 2027 September 1, 2027 $69,135.00
Year 3 August 2, 2028 September 1, 2028 $72,605.00
1) The Subscription renewal invoice will be sent to Client thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the subsequent Subscription term. The invoice payment is due not later than the start of the new Subscription term. If payment is not received prior to the beginning of the new Contract Year start date, then the subscription will be suspended pending payment.
2) If additional Subscription licenses are purchased during the term of this Contract, there will be an additional cost to add those licenses to the existing Subscription at the time of Software purchase. Different pricing or subscriptions terms may apply.
3) This Contract and the Subscription(s) will take effect upon 1) the date of later signature below and 2) the appending of an original purchase order for all the items quoted on Quote# 38871. The dates of the Subscription Term will be clarified in Exhibit A once the purchase order is received.
4) New FLEX Subscriptions:
a) Virtual credits purchased by the Client may be redeemed to create a license file allowing access and use of a variety of interchangeable products. Credits will be allotted to respective twelve calendar month periods (each a “Year”). Licenses begin consuming Credits on a monthly basis as prorated against the annual Credit consumption schedule listed for that product.
b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, at the end of each contract term, any Credits not consumed will be lost and cannot be carried over into a new contract term.
c) If at any time the credit consumption exceeds the contracted level during the subscription term, the customer will be required to purchase Top-Up Credits. These credits are used to reconcile the negative balance, with the associated costs being prorated and co-termed to the existing invoice schedule. d) “Right to use” and “right to access” licenses under the AVEVAFlex Credit program include Support without an additional fee. Clients will not have an option to obtain licenses without also obtaining support. In the event the Client wants higher levels of support, they may select either the Premium or the Elite support for a corresponding upcharge in their subscription over their chosen tiered price.
5) FLEX Modernization Offering or CustomerFIRST Migrations to FLEX Subscription:
a) Migrating an AVEVAPerpetual Customer FIRST Support Agreement to a FLEX Subscription effectively equates to paying for Customer FIRST with Flex Credits. Access to Technical Support and Maintenance Releases continue to be Quote #038871 v1 Monday, September 14, 2026 6/9
Attachment 1

Page 273 of 299 ends

available for the perpetual licenses that are migrated to Flex during the term of the Flex Agreement. b) This migration also comes with the benefit of being able to use legacy/perpetual licenses in a Flex environment, which means a license may be traded in to free up its associated credits for use with other products available in the AVEVAPortfolio. Please note that each perpetual License converted to a FLEX Software Subscription License will replace the corresponding perpetual license, and such perpetual license will be terminated. c) In the event a Flex Software Subscription is not renewed, any legacy perpetual license not traded in and converted to a Flex Subscription license will be reverted back to its perpetual state and the Client will not relinquish ownership of said license.
d) New Flex licenses acquired during the Subscription Term will be available for use for the duration of the subscription term and subsequent renewals.

The undersigned agrees to all subscription terms listed above for items purchased under Quote# 38871.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, October 13, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST MEYER
RECOMMENDED BY: FIRE CHIEF SCHAEFER
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES CONTRACT WITH PAJARO VALLEY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT EFFECTIVE 9/22/2026 THROUGH 6/30/2027 RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a Contract between the City of Watsonville and the Pajaro Valley Fire Protection District (PV Fire) for fire protection services.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Watsonville Fire Department (WFD) has provided 911 fire protection and emergency medical services to a designated area within the Pajaro Valley Fire Protection District (PV Fire) since 1996. Under this longstanding arrangement, WFD has provided services within the designated contract area at a level comparable to that provided to residents of the City of Watsonville.

Historically, WFD has responded to a variety of high-priority emergency incidents within the contract area, including Code 3 calls for service such as emergency medical services (EMS) calls, structure fires, vehicle accidents, and wildland fires.

The City and PV Fire entered into the prior Fire Protection Services Contract in 2019 . Under that contract, WFD responded to all Code 3 calls for service within the designated contract area. Rather than charging PV Fire on a per-call basis, the annual contract amount was calculated using a five-year average of calls for service. This methodology provided PV Fire with a predictable annual cost for budgeting purposes.

For Fiscal Year 2025–2026, PV Fire paid the City $72,118.24 in quarterly installments for services provided under the prior contract. In 2025, WFD responded to approximately 425 calls for service within the contract area. Based on these figures, the average cost to PV Fire was approximately $168.68 per call.

Page 283 of 299 ends

2 PV Fire asked to reopen contract negotiations and proposed changes to the scope of services provided by WFD. City staff met with PV Fire Board members and representatives to discuss the proposed changes, including which calls for service would continue to receive a WFD response within the contract area.

Following these discussions, the parties agreed to enter into a new Emergency Medical Services Contract that revises the scope of services provided by WFD. Under the new Contract, WFD will respond to Priority D and E EMS calls dispatched by the Santa Cruz County Regional 9-1-1 Center within the designated contract area, subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract. This represents a change from the prior arrangement, under which WFD responded to all Code 3 calls for service within the contract area. Based on the revised scope of services, the estimated number of calls for service is approximately 80 to 100 annually.

The new Contract also changes the method of compensation. Instead of the prior annual payment arrangement, PV Fire will pay the City $800 for each qualifying call for service under the Contract. WFD will provide PV Fire with monthly reports documenting calls for service, and payments will be made quarterly based on the number of qualifying incidents during each billing period.

The new Emergency Medical Services Contract will replace the prior Fire Protection Services Contract. The new Contract has been approved by the PV Fire Board and will be effective September 22, 2026, upon approval by the City Council, and will remain in effect through June 30, 2027. It establishes a revised scope of services and a per-call compensation structure for the duration of the new Contract.

DISCUSSION:

PV Fire asked to reopen contract negotiations and proposed modifications to the scope of services provided by the Watsonville Fire Department (WFD). City staff met with PV Fire Board members and representatives to discuss the proposed changes, including which calls for service would continue to receive a WFD response within the designated contract area.

The parties agreed to enter into a new Emergency Medical Services Contract to replace the prior Fire Protection Services Contract. Under the prior arrangement, WFD responded to all Code 3 calls for service within the designated contract area. Under the new Contract, WFD will respond to Priority D and E emergency medical services (EMS) calls dispatched by the Santa Cruz County Regional 9-1-1 Center, subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract. This revised scope of services is expected to reduce the number of calls to approximately 80 to 100 annually.

The new Contract also changes the method of compensation. Under the prior arrangement, PV Fire paid the City an annual amount calculated using a five-year average of calls for service. Under the new Contract, PV Fire will pay the City $800 for each qualifying call for service. WFD will provide PV Fire with monthly reports documenting calls for service, and PV Fire will be invoiced quarterly based on the number of qualifying incidents during each billing period.

The new Contract was approved by the PV Fire Board and will become effective September 22, 2026, upon approval by the City Council. The Contract will remain in effect through June 30, 2027. The revised

Page 284 of 299 ends

3 scope of services and per-call compensation structure address PV Fire’s request to modify the services provided by WFD and align compensation with the number of qualifying calls for service during the Contract term.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

Entering into a new contract with PV Fire for fire protection services 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, so is not subject to the provisions of CEQA.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This proposed contract relates to the Strategic Plan priorities:

Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

For Fiscal Year 2025–2026, PV Fire paid the City $72,118.24 under the prior contract. Under the new Contract, the City will receive $800 for each qualifying Priority D or E emergency medical services (EMS) call to which WFD responds within the designated contract area. Because compensation will be based on the actual number of qualifying calls, total revenue under the Contract will vary based on call volume.

Based on an estimated 80–100 qualifying calls annually, the City is projected to receive approximately $64,000 to $80,000 per year on an annualized basis. Actual revenue during the Contract term will depend on the number of qualifying calls received between September 22, 2026, and June 30, 2027.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

City Council may decide not to approve the contract. PV Fire will not be able to continue the contract, and the contract will be terminated. This will result in a delayed response to the contract area for high-acuity EMS calls for which the District would prefer the City to continue providing response services.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, October 13, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: PROJECT MANAGER PERALTA
RECOMMENDED BY: DEPUTY CITY MANAGER CALUBAQUIB
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ACCEPT $275,000 IN MEASURE Q GRANT FUNDING FROM THE SANTA

CRUZ COUNTY OFFICE OF RESPONSE, RECOVERY, AND RESILIENCE

MEASURE Q GRANT PROGRAM FOR THE WATSONVILLE CITY PLAZA

REVITALIZATION PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution accepting $275,000 in grant funding from the Santa Cruz County Office of Response, Recovery, and Resilience Measure Q Grant Program for the Watsonville City Plaza Revitalization Project; appropriating such funds to the Special Grants Fund [0260]; and authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute all agreements, including any amendments necessary to implement the grant.

BACKGROUND:

The Santa Cruz County Safe Drinking Water, Clean Beaches, Wildfire Risk Reduction, and Wildlife Protection Act (“Measure Q Act”) was approved by Santa Cruz County voters in November 2024. The Measure Q Act generates approximately $7 million annually through an $87 special parcel tax to support investments in clean water, wildfire resilience, habitat protection, and equitable access to parks and open space throughout Santa Cruz County.

Under the Measure Q Act, 40% of annual tax revenues are allocated to a competitive grant program designed to fund community projects that advance these priorities. For the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 inaugural grant cycle, the Measure Q Grant Program had a total funding allocation of $2.74 million.

The Parks & Community Services Department submitted an application for the Watsonville City Plaza Revitalization Project requesting $600,000 in Tier 2 – Community Impact Measure Q Grant Program.

Applications were evaluated by the Citizen Oversight Advisory Board (COAB) based on criteria such as

Page 295 of 299 ends

2 geographic balance, scale of community impact, and institutional diversity. The evaluation process was designed to ensure that grant awards aligned with the goals and priorities established in the Measure Q Vision Plan.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Watsonville was awarded $275,000 for the City Plaza Revitalization Project by the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors on June 9, 2026. Funding will be used to restore and modernize the historic downtown plaza which includes adding a permanent stage, new site furnishings, improving landscape, and improving the park’s overall infrastructure.

Primary themes for ranking Tier 2 projects were based on geographic balance and scale of impact. Scoring criteria singularly addressed parks as a thematic priority, and approximately 40% of the Tier 2 portfolio served the greater Pajaro Valley area.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

On December 13, 2019, an Administrative Use Permit and Design Review Permit with Environmental Review (PP2022-448) was approved for the Watsonville City Plaza Revitalization Project by the City of Watsonville’s Zoning Administrator with no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment in accordance with Public Resources Code section 21080(c).

In November 2019, a Notice of Determination with a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) was filed with the Santa Cruz CEQA Clerk and Office of Planning and Research by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to CEQA provisions.

The City Council finds and determines that (i) the CEQA documentation prepared for the Watsonville City Plaza Revitalization Project serves as the appropriate environmental documentation and satisfies all requirements of CEQA; and (ii) no supplemental environmental documentation is required by CEQA at this time pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15162, because no substantial changes are proposed to the Project with acceptance of this grant. Accepting this grant does not authorize any actions that will create any environmental impact that have not already been analyzed.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item supports the City’s Strategic Plan by advancing infrastructure improvements.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The City will receive $275,000 in grant funding from the Santa Cruz County Office of Response, Recovery, and Resilience, which will be appropriated to the Special Grants Fund [0260] and used toward the Watsonville City Plaza Revitalization Project. This grant will supplement funding already appropriated for

Page 296 of 299 ends

3 Phase 2 of the City Plaza Revitalization project through other sources, including a Prop 68 grant, Measure R bond and Measure Q direction allocations.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The City Council may choose not to accept grant funding and can potentially delay or reduce the City’s ability to implement the full scope of work for the project.
