Agenda packet — West Sacramento City Council, November 16, 2022 (part 2 of 2)

location of the suspect to refine their deployment plans. This approach creates the potential for a massive increase in situational awareness for law enforcement personnel, allowing them to increase officer safety, provide better service to the public, and make more efficient use of available resources.

West Sacramento Police Department staff have evaluated and conducted demonstrations on multiple real time crime platforms. Based on the research conducted, recommendations from partner agencies with real time crime platform capabilities, and two product demonstrations, staff has concluded that the Fusus Real-Time Crime in the Cloud platform possesses characteristics that are unique in the marketplace, and which provide an optimal fit for West Sacramento’s use case.

This report requests the Council’s approval of an appropriation of Measure E funds to facilitate the procurement of the Fusus platform, and for authority to enter into a five-year agreement with Fusus to explore how this technology can benefit the West Sacramento community.

ANALYSIS
The Fusus platform brings together into one platform disparate technology systems which already exist in West Sacramento, such as closed-circuit camera systems (traffic cameras, facilities cameras, private sector cameras), license plate reader systems, CAD systems, Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) video feeds and other public safety technology. This platform will integrate these resources to a single visual interface, allowing officers to access these resources in the field. The systems are displayed on a map of the city, allowing officers to see incidents as they develop and geographically depict locations of cameras and other technology resources in the area, which could aid responding units or expedite locating suspects. For the first time, officers would have the ability to rapidly search technology resources for suspects and/or missing persons along with their methods of transportation, significantly increasing solvability of crimes which occur in our city and increasing our ability to secure areas which special events occur.

The Fusus system can accommodate a wide array of inputs. Feeds from City cameras would provide the initial sensor framework, which would grow as the City adds more cameras through projects like the security improvements currently being planned along the riverfront. Over time, residents or businesses could be provided with the opportunity to voluntarily connect their cameras to the City’s Fusus system through a simple written agreement with the City, further expanding the system’s reach and providing safety benefits to participants.

These collaborative arrangements with private camera owners would also allow for the seamless sharing of live and past video for public safety use in response to crimes and incidents such as an active shooter, and would facilitate a modernized crime tip portal that could intake and analyze video in real time. By integrating public and private resources, Fusus would allow the City to create a modern public safety ecosystem and reduce the need for the city to invest in City-owned and maintained technology resources. Fusus is anticipated to merge seamlessly with the current public safety technology being used in West Sacramento. A flyer summarizing the features of Fusus is included as Attachment 2.

Fusus has the potential to revolutionize law enforcement best practices in the city. As such, it will take time to deploy the technology, develop operating procedures and safeguards around its proper use, and expand the resultant security ecosystem to assess the technology at scale. Due to the size of this undertaking and the importance of implementing it correctly, staff is requesting Council authorization to proceed with a five-year service agreement with Fusus. This service agreement will provide adequate time to thoughtfully implement the technology, build it into departmental operating procedures, then assess the system and its impact on public safety in the city. The effectiveness of Fusus will be judged through the evaluation of call data, crime data and feedback from staff as to the impact on their workload and their case solvability.

Ultimately, any law enforcement agency is only as good as its people, so no technology is a substitute for maintaining an appropriately sized force. However, both public safety and the City’s budget are well-served when the department can leverage technology to provide existing West Sacramento officers with tools to help them protect the public safety more efficiently and effectively. Staff has concluded that Fusus has the potential to create game-changing improvements in the West Sacramento Police Department’s ability to protect the public.

On that basis, staff requests Council approval of staff’s recommended actions, which will allow the City to fully explore the potential benefits of this tool.

Environmental Considerations
This action is not a project that is subject to CEQA because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines § 15060(c), 15378(a).)

Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.

Strategic Plan Integration
This action furthers the City’s strategic plan goal of ensuring our community is “Safe and Secure” and furthers the management objective in increasing security and response capabilities for venues and events in the Entertainment District.

Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives are summarized below:

1. Approve Resolution 22-135, authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement with ICU Technologies, Inc. in substantially the form shown in Attachment 1 to this report and take any actions necessary to effectuate the proposed agreement, including without limitation making non-substantive changes or amendments to the agreement, and executing other related documents.

2. Approve Resolution 22-135, and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement with ICU Technologies, Inc. in substantially the form shown in Attachment 1 to this report, subject to specific changes directed by the Council.

3. Direct staff to return at a future date with a modified version of Resolution 22-135 and/or the proposed agreement

4. Decline to approve staff’s recommended actions, and direct staff not to pursue this item further.

Alternative 1 is staff’s recommended action. Staff is prepared to implement Alternative 2 at the Council’s direction; however, it should be noted that if the Council directs changes to the agreement, there is no guarantee that ICU Technologies will accept those changes. Staff does not recommend Alternative 3, because it would require staff to try to negotiate an extension to the discounted price structure that has been offered to the City, which may not be feasible. Staff strongly recommends against Alternative 4, because of the clear potential that the Fusus platform has to revolutionize the City’s approach to deterring and solving crime.

Coordination and Review
This report was coordinated and reviewed by Police Department, City Manager’s Office, Information Technology Division and Finance Department staff.

Budget/Cost Impact
Fusus is currently under a GSA contract through ICU Technologies, the firm currently working with the City to design the Riverfront and Entertainment District Public Safety and Security Plan. Staff is proposing to satisfy the City’s competitive selection requirements by leveraging this GSA contract.

Staff recommends that the proposed project be funded from the Smart Cities component of Measure E. The overall purchase agreement is for the amount of $358,942. Pursuant to the proposed agreement, this amount would be payable in annual installments of $71,788.37 over five years, with the first payment due upon written notice to proceed. Resolution 22-135, which authorizes the proposed appropriation of $71,800 for Fiscal Year 2022/23, is included as Attachment 3. Future years of the contract will be included in the upcoming biennial Operations and Maintenance budgets. The Measure E analysis is included as Attachment 4.

WORKING WITH US: WHAT TO EXPECT.

Collaborative Fūsus creates a truly collaborative public-private security network, breaking down silos and defragmenting public and private video security networks in your region. It’s an open platform that plugs right into a strategic information center, a 911 center, a squad car or a mobile device.

Our platform unifies security camera feeds from city cameras, transit cameras, and privately owned cameras like those at a 7-11, a school, a church or an office building, enabling your police department to build closer ties to the communities you serve, and residents to play a role in crime reduction initiatives.

Open Unlike a lot of other closed-loop video networking solutions, the Fūsus solution is easy to deploy widely using existing video and security infrastructure- it does not require an expensive hardware overhaul in order to function. Instead, the Fūsus system will tie together all existing resources and make them accessible via a centralized, cloud-based interface. Our platform seamlessly ties together disparate video hardware and software systems, including existing DVR/NVR equipment, and smoothly integrates with Emergency/First Responder dispatch and intelligence systems including CAD integration, ShotSpotter integration, first-responder geolocation, etc.

Proven Each police department doesn’t have to start from the ground-up with Fūsus- they can see how easy the installation has been in a different city, how the system is being successfully utilized, and then replicate that model of success. Fūsus has been proven to work in American cities and towns of varying sizes, as well as at major events like the Super Bowl, the XGames, and the PGA Tour, so our clients know that the technology they are implementing is field-tested, proven, and secure.

Seamless The Fūsus team will ensure your program and platform is deployed smoothly, and we will support your community outreach efforts.

Our technical support does not end after installation- we continue to work collaboratively with our clients to ensure their continued success. Plus, as a cloud-based platform Fūsus will always be up-to-date with the latest technology, with software updates being pushed on a regular basis. 141

Measure E Analysis
Project Description
The proposed project consists of the procurement and installation of the Fusus platform, which consists of integrated software and hardware products that facilitate the automated real-time analysis of live data from cameras, license plate readers, UAVs, and other sources to provide law enforcement officers with vastly improved situational awareness.

Policy Context
Because it synthesizes data from multiple existing sources, the proposed system is fundamentally a new way to leverage existing data streams, including but not limited to license plate reader outputs, video surveillance footage, and video or other information volunteered by members of the public. The West Sacramento Police Department has existing policies and procedures that govern the secure and proper handling of data from these sources. As its utilization of the Fusus product matures, the Police Department will make any policy adjustments needed to assure appropriate use, retention, storage, and destruction of data passing through this system is compliant with all applicable laws.

Supplementary Funds
The five-year pilot period is proposed to be funded 100 percent with Measure E Smart City funds, which will allow West Sacramento Police Department to focus its other funding sources on personnel and traditional material costs. If the system is renewed after the initial five-year term, other funding sources will be considered.

Staff Costs
The proposed funds will be used solely for software, equipment and services related to the installation and operation of the Fusus system. None of the requested funds will be used to fund City staff.

Desired Outcomes
The desired outcomes of this proposal are:
 Improvement in the Police Department’s public safety response, measured through call data and crime data.
 Efficiency improvements for incident responses, as measured by the amount of resources necessary to achieve the department’s standards for specified incidents.  Improvements in Police Officer safety and job satisfaction.  Proof of concept for the integration of multiple forms of sensor data through a unified platform, a methodology that is theoretically applicable to other City activities.  Improvements in the public’s perception of their safety in the city’s public spaces. 146
Theory of Change
The actions recommended in this staff report are based on the premise that improved situational awareness will improve the West Sacramento Police Department’s incident response in multiple ways:
 Improved Rate of Success
Starting the search with more data about the subject’s appearance, direction of travel, and means of transportation increases the likelihood of rapidly locating suspects or missing persons.  Improved Efficiency
By leveraging sensors such as cameras along with the analytical speed of computers, the proposed project can free officers to focus on other tasks, materially improving the efficiency and/or effectiveness of certain operations relative to the historic, labor-intensive approach.  Officer Safety
Better situational awareness aids officer safety by giving them advance warning of the situation they are about to enter.
 Public Perception of Safety
The public will feel safer knowing that the Police Department has access to this technology.

Staff believes that each of the above assumptions is well-supported theoretically. Other jurisdictions have reported positive outcomes in each of the above dimensions. The Police Department intends to use the proposed five-year pilot period to experiment with the subject system to confirm that it provides benefits that justify its cost. Staff believes that it is likely to succeed, because a strong positive outcome in any one of the potential benefit categories noted above would likely justify the program’s cost, and there is no reason to think the program won’t succeed in multiple dimensions.

The biggest threat to realizing the benefits of this program is insufficient follow-up. In order to realize the full benefit of the Fusus platform, the Police Department will have to commit to changing existing workflows where appropriate, and building the use of this new tool into its standard operating procedures and an organizational culture with a long historical legacy. The proposal has strong organizational support within West Sacramento Police Department management, and the proposed financing structure does not have any internal opportunity costs to the Department during the experimental phase, so staff is confident that both the will and the resources exist to properly develop this program to its full potential.

Project Budget
The proposed five-year budget for this project is $358,942.

Performance Metrics
The performance of the proposed Fusus platform will be measured by:
 Improvement in success rate for suspect and missing person searches.  The amount of resources necessary to achieve desired outcomes (efficiency).  Officer safety, measured by injury rate and reduction in dangerous incidents.  Public perception of safety as measured by surveys and other outreach. 147

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

City Manager’s Office
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to seek Council approval of the City Council meetings scheduled for February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 22-136 setting the time and date for City Council meetings commencing February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024.

BACKGROUND
Currently, the City Council generally meets on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. In the fall of each year, the Council reviews the meeting calendar with consideration given to holidays and other regular Council obligations. Resolution 22-136 sets a regular Council meeting schedule for 2023/24 which takes into consideration holiday and other scheduling conflicts. This schedule will reduce the need to cancel and/or schedule special meetings.

ANALYSIS
Resolution 22-136 keeps, as much as possible, with the designated first and third Wednesdays of each month with the following exceptions:
 Pursuant to Resolution 21-85 the Council is currently scheduled to meet on January 18, 2023, and staff is recommending not scheduling a meeting on February 1 (first Wednesday) but scheduling a meeting on February 15 (third Wednesday) to allow for scheduling two consecutive meeting days in February, to be determined at a later date, for the annual strategic planning session.  Staff is recommending not scheduling a meeting on July 5 due to the July 4 holiday.  Due to the Labor Day holiday and the League of California Cities conference (which Council and many staff attend) scheduled for September 20-22, 2023, staff is proposing to schedule a meeting on September 13 (second Wednesday), and not schedule meetings on September 6 (first Wednesday) or September 20 (third Wednesday). If necessary, a special meeting could easily be scheduled to accommodate any date sensitive items.
 Due to the holiday season, staff recommends meeting once in December on the 6th and not scheduling meetings on December 20 or January 3, to allow for a holiday break until January 17, 2024. The meeting on December 6 will also accommodate the planned Executive Team Retreat schedule.

OBJECTIVE
This item is a public hearing regarding proposed amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code regarding sections 17.01.050 (Applicability), Fueling Stations (Table 17.09.020), Paving (Section 17.08.040), Swimming Pools and Spas (Section 17.22.140.A.1 and 2), and Housing Element (HE) Program 6.4 (Emergency Shelters), HE Program: 6.6 (Special Housing Needs), and HE Program 6.8 (Farmworker Housing).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt Ordinance 22-21 (Attachment 2) amending Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code regarding sections 17.01.050 (Applicability), Fueling Stations (Table 17.09.020), Paving (Section 17.08.040), and Swimming Pools and Spas (Section 17.22.140.A.1 and 2) and Housing Element Policies focusing on Emergency Shelters, Special Housing Needs and Farmworker Housing (Government Code Section 65583[C]2); and

2. Find that the Amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code and Housing Element Updates to be in conformance to State Law is exempt from CEQA analysis under the Class §15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) and §15321 (Enforcement Actions by Regulatory Agencies) and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption.

BACKGROUND
Staff presented amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code (Resolution 22-3PC) on Thursday, October 20, 2022, at a regularly scheduled public hearing with the Planning Commission. The draft resolution and ordinance presented to the Planning Commission included a proposal to allow wind turbines as a permitted by right use in all residential zones. After discussion and deliberation, the Planning Commission declined to recommend the City Council approve the proposed ordinance change to allow residential wind turbines without any discretionary approval. The Commission directed staff to review the potential environmental impacts and aesthetics relating to the placement of residential wind turbines before returning to the Planning Commission for consideration at a meeting to be determined in the future. The other seven proposed amendments were discussed and deliberated by the Planning Commission and a determination was made. On October 20, 2022, the Planning Commission voted to unanimously approve resolution 22-3PC (Attachment 1) and recommend that the City Council adopt Ordinance 22-21 (Attachment 2).

Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code requires regular updates to keep up with ongoing changes in the City.

Certain regulations in the Municipal Code are no longer applicable, require updating due to changes in State law or to implement City policies and programs, or require process improvements.

A list of the proposed sections to amend in Title 17 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code and Housing Element programs to be included are provided below.

1. 17.01.050(A) Applicability to Property

2. Fueling Stations (Table 17.09.020)

3. Section 17.08.040 (Supplemental Regulations) A – Paving

4. Section 17.22.140 Swimming Pools and Spas

ANALYSIS
Staff’s proposed changes to the Municipal Code are summarized below. Bold/underline text reflects proposed additions to the existing code, while language proposed for deletion is noted in strikeout text. A summary of the provided change is also noted.

17.01.050 Applicability
A. Applicability to Property. This Code shall apply, to the extent permitted by law, to all property within the corporate limits of the City of West Sacramento and to property for which applications for annexation and/or subdivisions have been submitted to the City of West Sacramento, including all uses, structures, and land owned by any private person, firm, corporation or organization, or the City of West Sacramento or other local, State or Federal agencies. Any governmental agency shall be exempt from the provisions of this Code only to the extent that such property may not be lawfully regulated by the City of West Sacramento.

Summary/Analysis
The intent of this modification is to allow the City or other local agencies greater discretion in working with land use holdings the City owns and operates. For example, the City of West Sacramento would be eligible to allow a primary use of its choosing, regardless of land use designation. This modification also makes it easier to facilitate General Plan Land Use Goal LU-7: To designate adequate land for development of public and quasipublic uses to support existing and new residential, commercial, and industrial land uses and policy LU-7.7 (Public/ Private Partnership) which encourage public/private partnerships when developing City properties to enhance the surrounding community and provide a source of revenue to fund improvements to city services or facilities.

Fueling Stations:

Amend the land use matrix so that all zones which currently allow by right fueling stations by right are changed to permitted only via a minor use permit. The zoning districts which currently allow fueling stations as a permitted use (P) are the Commercial and Mixed-Use Zones.

TABLE 17.09.020: LAND USE REGULATIONS – COMMERCIAL AND MIXED-USE ZONES “P” = Permitted Use; “M” = Minor Use Permit required; “C” = Conditional Use Permit required; “-“Use Not Allowed
Use Classification CBD C CH MUNCMUCWF Additional Regulations Automobile/Vehicle
Sales and Services
See Subclassification below
Fueling Stations - P M P M M - -
Summary/Analysis
This modification would allow the City more control in the approval and placement of fueling stations. An applicant would not be permitted by right to develop or construct a station without 1) submitting a land use application to the Planning Division and 2) approval by the Zoning Administrator. The City of West Sacramento currently has twenty (20) active gas stations in operation. This modification is in line with the City’s policies to reduce fossil fuels in accordance with statewide policies and the City’s General Plan, S-4.3, Climate Action Policies: The City shall, in collaboration with the stakeholders from the community, implement policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from community, business, and municipal activities consistent with the targets described in Policies HS-5.1 and 5.2.

Section 17.08.040 A - Paving
The current section of the code states, the maximum amount of impervious surfaces in street-facing yards is 50 percent of the required yard.

Purposed Modification to Section 17.08.040 A - Paving: The maximum amount of impervious surfaces in street-facing yards is 50 percent of the required yard.

In the R-1, R-2, and R-2.5 zones, impervious surfaces including parking, walkways and paved patio areas shall cover no more than fifty (50) percent of the entire front yard that is not covered by a residential structure. Landscaped (pervious) area shall include a combination of well-maintained ground cover, shrubs, hedges, trees, and other pervious vegetation that shall not be paved. Permanent structures, including but not limited to retaining walls, fences, arbors, trellises, shall not be constructed in public service easements.

November 16, 2022

Page 3 ends

Summary/Analysis
For the purposes of clarity, staff proposes a more detailed definition of impervious surfaces in street-facing yards to assist the public in their interpretation of this development standard. This standard was initially adopted to prevent paving of front yards for boat and RV storage. This modification is consistent with the previous iteration of the city’s Zoning Code. This change is also consistent with General Plan Policies UD-1.12, Development Regulations: The City shall promote design excellence by ensuring City development regulations clearly express intended rather than prohibited outcomes and reinforce rather than inhibit quality design and UD-1.13, Design Review: The City shall require design review that focuses on achieving appropriate form and function for new development and redevelopment to promote creativity, innovation, safety and quality design.

17.22.140 Swimming Pools and Spas
Amend sections 17.22.140(A)(1) and (2) to allow pools and spas, where space allows, in the front half of the residential corner lot. Currently, the code section 17.22.140(A)(1) states: Front Setback. The outside wall of the water-containing portion of any swimming pool or spa shall be located on the rear half of the lot as measured from the front property line.

Proposed revision to Section 17.22.140(A)(1) and 17.22.140(A)(2):

Front Setback. The outside wall of the water-containing portion of any swimming pool or spa shall be located on the rear half of the lot as measured from the front property line. meet the minimum front setback and shall not be constructed over public service easements.

Street Side Setback. The outside wall of the water-containing portion of any swimming pool or spa shall be located a minimum of 10 5 feet from the street side property line. Where the lot is enclosed by a masonry subdivision perimeter wall, the street side setback is five feet.

Summary/Analysis
Currently, pools and spas are limited to the rear half of the lot as measured from the front property line. Due to a number of residential properties with limited space in rear yards, staff proposes that swimming pools and spas be allowed within street side yards on corner lots where sufficient space is provided. The placement of the pool and/ or spa shall still comply with guidelines of the Building Division with respect to enclosures (fences, gates, etc.). To avoid conflicts with utility connections, no pool or spa shall be constructed over previously designated public service easements. This modification is consistent with General Plan Policies UD-1.12, Development Regulations: The City shall promote design excellence by ensuring City development regulations clearly express intended rather than prohibited outcomes and reinforce rather than inhibit quality design and UD-1.13, Design Review: The City shall require design review that focuses on achieving appropriate form and function for new development and redevelopment to promote creativity, innovation, safety and quality design.

Housing Element Program 6.4: Emergency Shelters
Staff proposes to amend the code to achieve compliance with State law regarding parking requirements for emergency shelters (Government Code Sections 65583(a)(4)(A) and 65583.2). The current parking requirement stated in section 17.30.100(A)(2)(a) (Emergency Shelters and Daytime Service Facilities, Overnight Service Facilities, Parking) states: Parking shall be provided in the ratio of one space for every five adult beds, plus an additional space designated exclusively for the manager. All parking shall be off street and on site.

Proposed Revision:

Parking shall be provided in the ratio of one space for every five ten adult beds, plus an additional space designated exclusively for the manager. All parking shall be off street and on site.

Summary/Analysis
To be in conformance with State law, staff recommends implementing this modification for emergency shelter parking standards. The intent is to provide sufficient parking to accommodate clients and working staff in the emergency shelter, provided that the standards do not require more parking for emergency shelters than other residential or commercial uses within the same zone. Staff reviewed policies on parking for emergency shelters from three cities in the region (City of Woodland, City of Davis, and City of Sacramento) to modify this standard and make a reasonable determination on the number of parking spaces per adult beds. In general, this modification continues the implementation of section 17.30.100 of the West Sacramento Municipal Code for the siting, development, and operation of emergency shelters, and daytime service facilities.

Housing Element Program 6.6: Special Housing Needs
Amend the Zoning Code to remove lease and access requirements in the definition of ‘family’ as it pertains to families and households occupying a unit. In implementing affordable housing programs, the city intends to work 153

with housing providers to ensure that special housing needs are addressed for senior citizens, large and multigenerational families, female-headed households, single-parent households with children, persons with disabilities and developmental disabilities, homeless individuals and families, farmworker families, and other disadvantaged persons or families with special housing needs.

Revised Definition of Family in Municipal Code

17.51.020 Definitions, Family. One or more persons living together in a single dwelling unit, with common access to, and common use of, all living and eating areas and all areas and facilities for the preparation and storage of food.; who share living expenses, including rent or mortgage payments, food costs and utilities, and who maintain a single mortgage, lease, or rental agreement for all members of the household.

Summary/Analysis
The City will continue the existing program to ensure that special housing needs are addressed for seniors, large and multigenerational families, female-headed households, single-parent households with children, persons with disabilities and developmental disabilities, homeless individuals and families, farmworker families, and other disadvantaged persons or families with special housing needs. The city will seek to meet these special housing needs through a combination of regulatory incentives, new housing construction programs, housing rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance programs, and supportive services programs. In addition, the city may seek funding under the federal Housing Opportunities for Persons with Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), California Child Care Facilities Finance Program, American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Community Challenge Grant Program, and other state and federal programs designated specifically for special needs groups such as seniors, persons with disabilities, and persons at risk for homelessness.

Housing Element Program 6.8
Amend the zoning code to achieve compliance with (Government Code Section 65583[C]2) to allow farmworker housing by-right in agricultural zones. The Zoning update would include the following terms in Chapter 17.51 (List of Terms and Definitions) and amend the land use matrix (Table 17.07.020) to establish farmworker housing as a permitted by right use in the Agricultural Zone (AG):
“Farmworker” means the same as “agricultural employee” as defined in Section 1140.4(b) of the California Labor Code.
“Farmworker dwelling unit” means a single-family residential unit occupied by a maximum of six farmworkers at any one time.
“Farmworker housing” means a housing accommodation developed for and/or provided to farmworkers and shall consist of any living quarters, dwelling, mobile home, manufactured home, recreational vehicle, travel trailer, or other housing accommodation maintained in one or more buildings and on one or more sites.

Summary/Analysis
The Government Code 65583[C]2 states where the inventory of sites pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) does not identify adequate sites to accommodate the need for farmworker housing, the program shall provide for sufficient sites to meet the need with zoning that permits farmworker housing use by right, including density and development standards that could accommodate and facilitate the feasibility of the development of farmworker housing for low- and very low-income households. The city will apply for available and appropriate federal and state funding to support efforts to meet the housing needs of farmworkers. The city will also collaborate with agricultural employers and advocates for farmworkers in identifying sites and pursuing available funding sources through HCD and the USDA. The city intends to continue to cooperate with affordable housing providers to develop, acquire, rehabilitate, and/or manage affordable housing.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: November 16, 2022 ITEM# 12
SUBJECT:

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 22-140 RENAMING THE TOWER BRIDGE GATEWAY TO THE CHRISTOPHER L. CABALDON PARKWAY
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ X ] Council [ ] Staff
[ ] Other
Doug Drozd, Government Affairs Manager
City Manager’s Office
ATTACHMENT [ ] Yes [ X ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [ X ] Action

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to facilitate Council consideration of a proposal to change the name of the Tower Bridge Gateway to the Christopher L. Cabaldon Parkway to recognize the former mayor and community leader who served the residents of West Sacramento for over 20 years.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 22-140 approving the renaming of the Tower Bridge Gateway to the Christopher L. Cabaldon Parkway and directing staff to install appropriate signage and take other necessary steps to effectuate the street renaming.

BACKGROUND
This item was prepared based on unanimous City Council direction from the meeting on October 19, 2022. The proposed renaming of Tower Bridge Gateway is intended to recognize both the significance of this roadway in the City’s history and the contributions that Christopher Cabaldon made to the City’s growth and development during his tenure as an elected official.

Tower Bridge Gateway
In 2006, West Sacramento initiated the Tower Bridge Gateway project to renovate the two-mile stretch of former State Route (SR) 275 running through the City. The old SR 275 created a confusing web of over- and underpasses that divided the City’s core from the emerging riverfront area and presented significant mobility challenges for all residents. In true West Sacramento fashion, the City Council and staff turned vision into reality by executing a strategic plan and leveraging cross-governmental partnerships to transform the old highway into a multimodal boulevard. The Tower Bridge Gateway increased accessibility to residents and visitors by creating a welcoming “front door” to both West Sacramento and Downtown Sacramento.

Christopher L. Cabaldon
Christopher Cabaldon moved to West Sacramento in 1993, shortly after the City’s incorporation, while working in the California State Legislature.

Mr. Cabaldon was first elected to a seat on the West Sacramento City Council in 1996 and was appointed mayor by his colleagues on the City Council in 1998. In 2002, he became the first mayor elected directly by the voters of the City and continued to serve in that capacity for the next 18 years until the end of his term in 2020. He is the City’s longest-serving mayor to date.

Mr. Cabaldon continues to serve on the Port Commission, a position he has held since 2006. During his time on the Commission, he helped oversee the Port’s transition from an insolvent entity to one that is a locally governed economic engine for the community.

During Mr. Cabaldon’s time in office, West Sacramento went through great changes. His work on issues ranging from transportation, flood protection, early childhood education, workforce development, housing, and climate change not only became a model for effective regional collaboration, but improved the lives of West Sacramento’s residents. There is perhaps no better example of this than the City’s receipt of the U.S.

Conference of Mayors’ “Most Livable City Award” in 2017.

West Sacramento enjoyed numerous achievements over the 24 years Mr. Cabaldon held office, and it goes without saying that his contributions to the City and its residents will endure well beyond his time as mayor. As the Sacramento Bee recently wrote:
160
Renaming Tower Bridge Gateway
November 16, 2022

Page 2 ends

“From Raley Field (now known as Sutter Health Park) and the burgeoning development around it, to the river walk, to the revitalization of West Capitol Avenue, to landing an IKEA store (a sales tax boon that Sacramento really wanted), to the managed growth of a city that had fewer than 30,000 residents when he arrived and has more than 50,000, Cabaldon’s imprint on his adopted city is indelible.” Given his long and dedicated tenure in service to the people of West Sacramento and his contributions to the City’s successes, it is appropriate to recognize Mr. Cabaldon by naming a City facility in his honor.

ANALYSIS
The Tower Bridge Gateway is emblematic of the City’s many achievements over the last 35 years. Namely, it represents the deindustrialization of the City and the abatement of harmful legacy infrastructure that predated the City’s incorporation. It is also illustrative of the City’s can-do attitude and commitment to creative problemsolving. Finally, Tower Bridge Gateway literally “opened up” the City’s riverfront and downtown to both residents and visitors alike.

In many ways, the Tower Bridge Gateway embodies the City’s vision and the successes that benefitted from former Mayor Cabaldon’s leadership. Thus, it is a fitting tribute to Mr. Cabaldon to name this street in his honor.

In renaming its “Grand Gateway,” the City recognizes Mr. Cabaldon for his years of service and the role he played in transforming the City.

The number of properties impacted by this street name change is minimal; in fact, only one existing building and 11 other properties will be required to change their address, should the Council support the change.

Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives are summarized below:

1. Approve the renaming of the Tower Bridge Gateway to the Christopher L. Cabaldon Parkway and direct staff to install appropriate signage and take other necessary steps to effectuate the street renaming.

2. Direct staff to consider an alternative facility to name in honor of Christopher Cabaldon.

3. Direct staff not to name a facility in honor of Christopher Cabaldon.

Alternative 1 is staff’s recommended action. Staff is prepared to effectuate either of the other recommendations at the Council’s direction.

Coordination and Review
City Manager’s Office staff prepared this item per direction from the Council at its meeting of October 19.

Community Development Department (CDD) staff consulted with the affected utilities, agencies, and departments as required by the City’s Street Renaming Policy (Policy) and did not receive any opposition to the name change. Also, as the Policy dictates, CDD notified all property owners on the subject street of the proposed name change at least 10 days prior to Council consideration of this item.

Budget/Cost Impact
There will be a minimal cost for new signage, but that expense will be paid from existing budgeted funds. This report does not request a new appropriation.
