SUBJECT:

PRESENTATION OF PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING JUNE 19TH AS

JUNETEENTH NATIONAL FREEDOM DAY
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [ X ] Staff Paul Hosley, Public Information Officer City Manager’s Office
[ ] Other
ATTACHMENT [ X ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [ X ] Action

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to officially recognize June 19th as Juneteenth National Freedom Day in the City of West Sacramento, promoting awareness and celebration of this significant historical event, and to encourage community engagement.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt the proclamation recognizing June 19 as Juneteenth National Freedom Day in the City of West Sacramento.

BACKGROUND
Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth National Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger announced the end of slavery in Galveston, Texas. This announcement came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, symbolizing a pivotal moment in American history when freedom was finally extended to all enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth has evolved to become a day of reflection, education, and celebration of African American history and culture. It serves as a reminder of the struggle for racial equity and justice, highlighting the progress made and the ongoing efforts required to achieve true equality in our society.

ANALYSIS
Recognizing Juneteenth as a citywide observance each year during the City’s annual Juneteenth Celebration at Bridgeway Lakes Park aligns with West Sacramento's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The proclamation underscores the City's dedication to honoring the rights and dignity of every resident and acknowledges the historical adversities faced by African Americans. By promoting Juneteenth, the City provides a platform for education and discourse on racial issues. The celebration at the park on Friday, June 13, 2025 was an opportunity for residents to engage in activities that celebrate African American culture and history while promoting unity within the community.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the necessary information to the City Council for consideration of approval of three on-call contracts with CMD West-Maverick Alliance Company, lnterwest Consulting Group Inc., and Monument ROW, Inc. for professional right-of-way acquisition services for City projects.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Approve the proposed professional services contracts with CMD West-Maverick Alliance Company, lnterwest Consulting Group, Inc., and Monument ROW, Inc. for on-call professional right of way services for City projects;
2) Delegate authority to the City Manager or his designee, to execute the contracts substantially in the form attached;
3) Authorize the City manager to issue notices to proceed, approve minor amendments to the Scope of Services and execute non-substantive changes and modifications, with approval from the City Attorney; 4) Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute amendments or change orders and adjust compensation within the Council-approved budget; and
5) Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute amendments to extend the term of the contract and adjust compensation within the limits of the Council-approved budget.

BACKGROUND
While implementing City infrastructure projects and other initiatives, staff engages in real property transactions which require professional right-of-way acquisition services. Property transactions require a vast array of services including, but not limited to: acquisition and relocation assistance, appraisals, appraisal reviews, Phase I and Phase 2 environmental assessments, escrow and title services, and assorted real property permits.

The Federal Uniform Acquisition, Relocation Assistance Advisory Services Act of 1970 (as amended), CFR 49, Part 24 and the State of California, Caltrans Right-of-Way Manual, defines the procedures required for performing real property acquisition activities. The City, as a local agency, is responsible for performing real property activities in accordance with the Federal and State policy guidelines and procedures.

To obtain the required professional services, on March 11, 2025, the City released a Request for Qualifications (25-010-RFQ) for On-Call Right-of-Way Services. On April 8, 2025, the RFQ's submittal deadline, a total of five Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) were received. SOQs were received from Bender Rosenthal, Inc.; CMD West-Maverick Alliance Company; lnterwest Consulting Group, Inc.; Monument ROW Inc.; and Paragon Partners Consultants, Inc. Staff planned to award up to three contracts total, each with a total not-to-exceed (NTE) limit of $100,000 to accommodate the current project needs within the City. Staff requested rates as part of the RFQ process and used a best value approach in evaluating the proposed rates in relation to the customer service and technical approach proposed.

The evaluation team was staffed with subject matter experts and managers who have procurement knowledge and experience with the products and services being procured and selected the firms providing the best value 17 On-Call Contracts for Right-Of-Way Services
June 18, 2025

for the City. After evaluation and scoring, the evaluation team selected the top three rated firms to enter into individual contracts with the City.

ANALYSIS
Staff is requesting the Council’s approval of three on-call contracts with the three top rated firms: CMD WestMaverick Alliance Company, lnterwest Consulting Group, Inc., and Monument ROW, Inc. Each of these contracts has a three-year term with a not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of $100,000. Based on the "as-needed" form of an oncall contract, the exact scope of work and schedule are not identified in the attached contracts; instead, Notices to Proceed (NTP) are issued for each service requested, outlining the exact scope of work and schedule based on a project-specific proposal from the chosen firm.

Awarding up to three contracts will provide staff with timely access to services without relying on one firm’s availability, which can vary greatly depending on their workload. Additionally, each of the three firms provides similar approaches to delivering services. Having an array of services available from three firms will provide staff the ability to ensure project timelines are adequately met.

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
N/A
Strategic Plan Integration
N/A
Alternatives
The Council's primary alternatives include:
1) Defer approval and request staff return to the Council with additional information at a later date. 2) Choose not to enter into the proposed contracts.
3) Reject the proposed recommended action and direct staff to complete separate solicitations for right of way acquisition services for every project.

Staff does not recommend these alternatives. Delays to essential real-estate transactions will negatively impact current project scheduling.

Coordination and Review
The proposed contracts were reviewed by the City Attorney's Office, the Capital Projects Department, and the Finance Department.

Budget/Cost Impact
Costs for these services are integrated into each CIP project budget or the existing appropriation for the Capital Projects Department professional services budget. There is no new net cost impact of approving the attached Contracts.

EXHIBIT A
Consultant Proposal/Scope of Work
28 City of West Sacramento — On-Call Right-of-Way Services — 25-010-RFQ | 1 The City of West Sacramento has been a standout example of a vibrant and growing community, and The City’s infrastructure has paved the way for this success. As The City continues to grow, its infrastructure will remain key to its development, and delivering that infrastructure will remain critical. A successful project approach relies on similar ‘project management infrastructure’ – which we at CMD refer to as “The 5 Steps”.

The potential scope of work for the overall on-call effort may include 1. Project Management and Coordination;

2. Appraisals; 3. Appraisal Reviews; 4. Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Site Assessments; 5. Acquisition; 6.

Relocation; and Optional Task(s). This full-service right-of-way effort will require an organized approach for delivery.

Step 1: Defining Success — The technical project approach begins with an understanding of the Client’s definition of success. CMD will discuss Scope, Schedule, Communications Plan, Approach Regarding Key Decisions, Updates, Tracking, and Metrics with The City to develop an understanding of The City’s parameters, and how the Project Owners define the success of this project. This discussion will involve receiving The City’s direction on scheduling milestones and best practices for communication and coordination.

Step 2: Developing The Plan — Based on the guidance of The City, CMD Staff will convert The City’s vision of success into specific milestones, deliverables, and actions. These items will become the CMD-Dashboard for the project. The CMD-Dashboard is a central source of project information that identifies the guideposts of scope, project deadlines, critical path items, offramps, decision points, key parties, communication flow, and key metrics.

The CMD Team will use this information to ensure that at each step of the project, the deliverables, milestones, decisions, and actions are in concert with The City’s vision of success.

Step 3: Communication — Both internal and external communications are critical to the delivery of any project.

The CMD Team maintains up-to-the-minute communication with one another across a variety of platforms, leveraging technology to remain connected, and up-to-date on the status of fellow Team Members. For external communications, the Team will follow the guidelines of the Communications Plan, and ensure that Project Owners and Stakeholders are kept updated in the frequency, and to the degree expected. The objective is to maintain regular, open avenues of communication that add value, and allow for discussion of items in a timely and iterative way, before they become critical and urgent, always working to stay in front of the schedule.

Step 4: Coordination — The CMD Team prides itself on its ability to coordinate, with the Team always striving to be greater than the sum of its parts. This coordination extends beyond the CMD Team to collaboration with other Project Stakeholders — Survey, Engineering, Legal, Environmental. We understand that the successful delivery of any project relies on everyone moving as a team and tracking with one another. The CMD Team will, in accordance with the Communications Plan, ensure that all Stakeholders track together, including the landowners and their representatives.

Step 5: Cost — CMD uses an automated time- and cost-tracking platform to ensure there is a snapshot of the financial status of the project at any given time. Project Leads use this on a weekly, and often more frequent, basis to ensure that costs are on track with deliverables and efforts are in line with earned values.

Bringing It All Together: Tracking and Reporting — While Tracking and Reporting functions are used to provide a review of what was done, they are also a key tool in planning next steps and envisioning what needs to be accomplished. This is only possible if items are tracked and reported in time with the progress of the project — right-of-way schedules demand constant progress be made, and Decision Makers need up-to-date information to give guidance. The CMD Team understands this. Based on the scope of this effort, it’s anticipated that CMD’s customary bi-weekly reporting, coupled with time-critical updates at key milestones, decision points, and events will capture the needs of the project. If, however, a different approach will add value to the process, CMD can nimbly adjust its procedures to meet the needs of The City.

3.4 TECHNICAL PROJECT APPROACH
29 City of West Sacramento — On-Call Right-of-Way Services — 25-010-RFQ | 2 The CMD West Project Team understands that the delivery of any infrastructure project requires a fully coordinated right-of-way approach, including . Project Management and Coordination; 2. Appraisals; 3.

Appraisal Reviews; 4. Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Site Assessments; 5. Acquisition; 6. Relocation; and Optional Task(s). The CMD West Project Team possesses the skills and experience to ensure the success of any project need that may arise, and has developed a plan of approach to deliver that success.

Task 1: Project Management and Coordination — Project Management requires that all pieces of the right-ofway machine are in motion when needed. Schedule will drive the successful delivery of any effort, and the CMD Team will focus on advancing schedule items that are on the critical path for right-of-way delivery. Many of the activities in the right-of-way schedule can be initiated simultaneously, allowing forward progress in a parallel fashion. In addition to maximizing the available time, CMD will focus its Project Management efforts on right-ofway planning, cost containment, progress reporting, QA/QC, and any needed support to The City, such as attendance at City Council. Project Management will also include preliminary engagement with landowners to accelerate the relationship-building process and prepare the parties for negotiations.

Task 2: Appraisals — CMD will coordinate the valuation process. To accelerate the process, appraisal research can be initiated upon The City’s authorization, even while exhibits are still pending. CMD will serve as the point of contact for the affected property owners, and will coordinate the required notices and meetings with property owners. With The City’s approval, appraisal delivery can be prioritized for longer-lead items, to accelerate the initiation of negotiations, as appraisals of less-long-lead lands are in process. The Appraisal Subconsultant will maintain all needed files and diaries. Title Reports will be ordered immediately upon authorization.

Task 3: Appraisal Reviews — CMD will coordinate the appraisal review process with the Appraisal Review Subconsultant, and ensure that the process is fluid and timely, to avoid any delay to setting of just compensation and initiating negotiations.

Task 4: Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments — With The City’s authorization, Phase I ESAs can be initiated early in the project process. Accelerating this item in the schedule can maximize resource use, and avoid later schedule compression. With regard to Phase IIs, a right of entry, possession agreement, possession by settlement agreement, or order for possession may be needed for access — this is an item that can be incorporated into early discussions with landowners. The CMD Team will work with the ESA Subconsultant to ensure that this task is planned and scheduled to complete due diligence in coordination with timely land delivery.

Task 5: Acquisition — Many of the preliminary items in the Acquisition effort can be initiated on an accelerated basis. Preliminary engagement can be conducted by the Acquisition Team through the appraisal site visit, contracts can be drafted in anticipation of just compensation approval, and RON documentation can be prepared well ahead of the proceeding. All of these items serve to accelerate this task and protect the project schedule. The CMD Team, with approval of The City, will conduct preliminary engagement with landowners to build pro-active relationships, prepare offer packages in anticipation of just compensation, so that offers can be made immediately upon setting of compensation, prepare RON documents prior to the 45-day negotiation window, consider possession and use and right of entry agreements when appropriate, work towards expeditious negotiations, administrative settlements, non-monetary agreements, and win-win solutions; and always keep the schedule and land delivery date in mind in all activities.

Task 6: Relocation Advisory Assistance Services — Relocation can be a long-lead item. For the benefit of project planning, the project team, and the displacee, it’s necessary to identify any relocation impacts early in the process. CMD’s in-house relocation specialists can identify relocation matters early, and track with the project team to ensure that relocation services dovetail with land delivery and the overall project schedule.

3.4 TECHNICAL PROJECT APPROACH
30 City of West Sacramento — On-Call Right-of-Way Services — 25-010-RFQ | 3 Tasks — Optional — As Needed:

Task Optional-1 — Appraisal of Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment — If a review of the proposed acquisition indicates that there may be effects to FF&E, the team will inform The City, and engage the FF&E Subconsultant to ensure that the appropriate valuation can be performed.

Task Optional-2 — Business Goodwill Valuation — If there is the possibility of losses to business goodwill, the CMD Team will engage with the Business Goodwill Valuation Subconsultant.

Task Optional-3 — Asset / Property Management — At times, The City will acquire some, or all, of its needed parcels in advance of construction. With these parcels in City possession during the interim before construction, it may be necessary for The City manage the property. The CMD Team has extensive experience in the management of publicly owned parcels, and can deliver these services as needed.

A. The Work contemplated herein constitutes a public work within the meaning of Labor Code sections 1720 and 1771. It shall be mandatory upon the Consultant and upon any Subcontractor, to pay not less than the said specified prevailing rates of wages to all workers employed by them under the Contract in accordance with Labor Code section 1774. The Director of the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") of the State of California has determined the general prevailing rate of wages of per diem wages in the locality in which the work is to be performed for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the Contract. The Consultant acknowledges that it has examined the prevailing rate of per diem wages as established by the DIR. Copies of the current schedules for prevailing wages are on file at City Hall, and the contents of those schedules are incorporated herein as if set forth in full. The Consultant shall post a copy of the applicable prevailing wage determinations at each job site, along with any other work place posters required by law.

B. The City will not recognize any claims for additional compensation because of the payment of prevailing wages. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Consultant in determining its proposal, and will not under any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the City.

C. By executing this Contract Consultant warrants that it has registered with the Department of Industrial Relations in accordance with Labor Code section 1725.5.

2. PREVAILING WAGE RECORDS
A. The Consultant and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record which shows the name, address, social security number, correct work classification (in accordance with the wage decision), both straight and overtime worked each day and week, and hourly rate of pay, gross wages earned, deductions made and net wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker or other employee paid by the Consultant /subcontractor in connection with the Work. These payroll records shall be certified and shall be made available at Consultant's principal office. These records shall be maintained during the course of the Work. The Consultant and all subcontractors shall make the certified payroll records available for inspection by City representatives upon request and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during the work hours on the job site.

B. The City shall notify the Consultant in writing of any discrepancies or violations that are discovered during such inspections. Written notification pursuant to this Section shall include the actions that will be necessary to resolve the discrepancies and/or violations. The Consultant shall be held entirely responsible for the prompt resolution of all non-compliances with the prevailing wage laws, including those pertaining to all subcontractors and any lower-tier subcontractors. The Consultant shall forfeit as penalty to the City the amount specified by law for each calendar day or portion thereof for each worker (whether employed by the Consultant or any subcontractor) paid less than the stipulated prevailing rates for any work done under the Contract in violation of the provisions of the Labor Code and in particular, Section 1775.

C. To the extent applicable, Consultant and subcontractors shall maintain and furnish to the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR"), a certified copy of each weekly payroll (but no less 61 Interwest Consulting Group, Inc.

often than monthly), with a statement of compliance signed under penalty of perjury. Such certified payroll reports shall be transmitted electronically to the DIR.

D. The City will not recognize any claims for additional compensation because of the payment of the prevailing wages. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Consultant in entering into the Contract, and will not under any circumstances, other than delays caused by the City, or the City’s agents, be considered as the basis of a claim against the City.

3. Labor Discrimination
Attention is directed to Section 1735 of the Labor Code, which reads as follows:
“No discrimination shall be made in the employment of persons upon public works because of their race, color, national origin or ancestry, physical handicap, mental condition, marital status, or sex of such person, except as provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code, and every General Contractor for public works violating this section is subject to all the penalties imposed for a violation of this chapter.” 4 Eight-Hour Day Limitation
(a) In accordance with the provisions of the Labor Code, and in particular, Sections 1810 to 1815 thereof, inclusive, incorporated herein by reference, eight hours labor shall constitute a day's work, and no worker in the employ of Consultant, or any Subcontractor, doing or contracting to do any part of the work contemplated by the Contract, shall be required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of those provisions; provided that subject to Labor Code Section 1815, a worker may perform work in excess of either eight (8) hours per day or forty (40) hours during any one week upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day or forty (40) hours during any one week at not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay.

This record shall be open at all reasonable hours to the inspection of the City. It is hereby further agreed that, except as provided in (a) above, the Consultant shall forfeit as a penalty to the City the sum of twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the performance of the Contract by the Consultant or by any of its Subcontractors for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to labor more than eight (8) hours in and one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of Sections 1810 through 1815.

PROJECT APPROACH
75 UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Utilizing a combination of state and federal grants and City contributions, the City of West Sacramento has undertaken numerous Capital Improvement Projects over recent years. Due to our current involvement supporting the planning, design and execution of several of these projects throughout the City, Monument has a thorough understanding of the City’s goals and are committed to supporting the continued growth of this community. With a variety of projects on the horizon, including bridge, Complete Streets, and Active Transportation Program projects, Monument’s broad experience and expertise in providing a full range of right-of-way services in compliance with Caltrans, State and local funding guidelines will continue to be an invaluable resource to the the City of West Sacramento.

These future projects, including the Sycamore Trails Extension, North 5th Street Complete Streets, and South Riverwalk Trails Extension, will require a right-of-way partner with a high level of technical skill and a thorough understanding of all applicable funding requirements to ensure that they can be completed in the most efficient and cost effective manner possible. Monument is fully capable of supporting the City with any and all required right-of-way services to support their upcoming projects, as detailed in the below approach to the requested scope of work.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT & COORDINATION
Jennifer Cole and our key staff will be responsible for the technical and administrative functions required to provide all needed right-of-way services for any of the City’s projects. Depending on the needs of the individual project assignments, Jennifer will plan, organize, supervise, coordinate, and administer all elements of each scope of work, which typically include the following tasks:
• Monument will meet with the City, their selected design consultant, and other relevant parties regarding each proposed project to discuss project status, budget, and schedules, and advise on any perceived challenges in completing the right-of-way scope. • Prepare and implement an effective Acquisition Management Plan to ensure the Project is delivered in the most efficient and cost-effective manner, and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and procedures.
• Coordinate and attend regular meetings with the City to communicate project updates, coordinate right-of-way issues and make recommendations on policy development, risk mitigation and general project consultation.
• Prepare and deliver written progress status reports for acquisition and relocation cases and create, monitor and update project schedules, as needed. • Participate in project related meetings and represent the City in presentations and public hearings on matters pertaining to the acquisition process. • Coordinate with City staff and legal counsel to develop standardized templates for all appraisals, environmental reports, offer documents and other materials in accordance with funding requirements and City standards.
• Implement and maintain a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) plan throughout the duration of each project, ensuring that all appraisals, reports, plans, ESAs, estimates, and offer documents are complete and accurate, and meet professional standard practices. • Finalize all work products, and prepare and deliver presentations to City staff and key stakeholders, as appropriate.
1 CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO | Proposal for On-Call Right-of-Way Services 76 APPRAISAL SERVICES
Monument has proudly worked alongside our appraisal subconsultants, Ross Campbell of Corsair Commercial Enterprises, and Adam Bursch of Western Valuation, to value full-fee, partial take, easement and TCE interests for countless public agencies. All appraisals and appraisal reviews for the acquisition of real property will be prepared in accordance with the URA (49 CFR Part 24) and with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). During the appraisal process, Monument will be responsible for the following procedures:
• Prepare appraisal scope, fees, and timing on a property-by-property basis. • Prepare and issue Notice of Decision to Appraise (NODA) notices to property owners.

Conduct field reviews of property issues with appraisers. • Make weekly contact with appraisers to update progress. • Review appraisals for quality; request changes/additions as necessary or based on direction from the City.

A single “self-contained” appraisal report will be prepared for each acquisition that will contain, at a minimum, the following required information:
• Description of the physical characteristics of the property being appraised (and, in the case of a partial acquisition, an adequate description of the remaining property). • Items identified as personal property.
• Statement of known and observed encumbrances, if any, along with location, zoning, present use, analysis of highest and best use, and five-year sales history. • All relevant and reliable approaches to value consistent with established appraisal practices.
• An analysis of all identified comparable sales, including a description of all physical, legal, and economic factors contributing to property’s value.
• Statement of the value of the real property to be acquired and, for a partial acquisition, a statement of value of the damages and benefits, if any, to the remaining real property. • The effective date of valuation, date of appraisal, signature, and certification of the appraiser.
• If needed, expert witness testimony can be provided for an additional fee.

Appraisal Review. As required for federally-funded projects, Monument’s in-house review appraiser, Vaughn Hosmann, will conduct a formal review of each appraisal report to ensure that the employed methodologies, analysis and calculations are correct and in compliance with USPAP reporting requirements. An independent appraisal review report will be produced, stating the reviewer’s process, findings, and confirmation of the determined highest and best use and calculation of fair market value.

Vaughn will work directly with the appraiser to discuss and resolve any errors or issues, before ultimately issuing a Review Certificate and Statement of Just Compensation.

Waiver Valuations. Where possible, Monument will work with the City to determine if the use of a Waiver Valuation may be appropriate for any uncomplicated easements or TCEs with an anticipated value below $15,000. Waiver Valuations allow for an efficient and cost effective alternative to appraisal reports, helping public agencies conserve valuable time and project funding resources. Monument’s internal valuation staff have a deep understanding of local real estate markets and appraisal principles, and are highly qualified to develop and produce Waiver Valuations to Caltrans standards. 2 CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO | Proposal for On-Call Right-of-Way Services 77 Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment and Goodwill Appraisals. Monument has included specialty appraisers Marcus Pigrom and Ricardo Goni of Desmond, Marcello, and Amster (DMA) to provide Goodwill and FF&E appraisals, which may be necessary to value the assets and goodwill of any potentially impacted businesses. Monument will coordinate with DMA and City staff to assign and manage specialty appraisals, as needed. All FF&E and Goodwill appraisals will be prepared in accordance with URA, USPAP, and Caltrans Right-of-Way Manual guidelines.

PHASE 1 & 2 ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS
Monument has teamed with local experts, Blackburn Consulting, to provide the City with quality environmental services. Blackburn will provide environmental investigation services to evaluate the likelihood that potentially hazardous materials have impacted the soil or groundwater beneath the site, and evaluate the need for further site investigation if recognized environmental conditions (RECs) are identified.

Phase 1 environmental investigations determine the environmental condition of the properties being acquired—including site and area reconnaissance, regulatory database radius searches, historical reviews, land title and environmental lien search reports, reviewing regional geology and hydrology.

Blackburn will prepare a written report that includes a summary of the procedures used, relevant findings, and conclusions addressing recognized environmental conditions and their potential to adversely impact the site, and recommendations for further assessments at the site.

Phase 2 environmental investigations determine the environmental conditions of properties being acquired—including scoping and completing any subsurface investigation, site investigation, sampling, and sample testing. Blackburn will then prepare a written report that includes a summary of the sampling methodology, results, and (if applicable) recommendations for further action..

TITLE AND ESCROW SERVICES
Monument will obtain and review all requested Preliminary Title Reports to identify encumbrances and liens, and advise on any title issues that may impact the acquisition process. Upon acceptance and execution of offers, signed documents will be delivered to the title company to begin the escrow process. Settlement Statements will be produced which will allow the City to process funds and deposit them into escrow. For partial fee acquisitions and permanent easements, all required lender consents or subordination agreements will be obtained in order to transfer clean title. The City will receive final closing packages and title insurance policies immediately following the completion of each escrow.

ACQUISITION
Led by Lead Agent, Taylor Running, Monument’s agents will work closely with City staff to identify impacted property owners, develop offer package documents, and acquire all property rights in strict compliance with the URA and Caltrans Right-of-Way Manual. Specifically, Monument will:
• Coordinate and manage the acquisition process with the City and its legal counsel, along with the design team, property owners and appraisers to ensure effective cross-discipline communications.
• Review right-of-way plans, appraisal reports, title reports, appraisal maps, legal descriptions and all other pertinent documents.
• Prepare acquisition offer packages consisting of the City’s written purchase offer, appraisal summary statement, acquisition brochure, acquisition agreement, conveying instruments 3 CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO | Proposal for On-Call Right-of-Way Services 78 (Grant Deeds, Permanent or Temporary Easements, etc.), Certificate of Acceptance, plat maps and legal descriptions, and Title VI Information.
• Deliver each First Written Offer within 15 days of receipt of approved appraisals. • Meet with each property owner to present the City’s purchase offer, explain the project’s goals and requirements, and inform them of the acquisition process. • Negotiate personally in good faith with each property owner, their agent or representative for a minimum of 45 days and discuss the valuation of the property interests, gather information for consideration and address any questions or concerns. • Establish and maintain an acquisition file for each property owner or property interest acquired. • As may be required, secure Right of Entry (ROE) agreements, Permits to Enter and Construct (PTECs), licenses or permits from property owners to perform hazardous waste, archaeological and other inspections.
• Promptly transmit executed documents (acquisition agreements, executed deeds, etc.) to the City for acceptance and processing. A report summarizing the pertinent information relative to the transaction will be included.
• Escrow Coordination – Coordinate opening of escrows, assist the escrow company in obtaining additional documentation as necessary to provide clear title to the City, supervise and review the closing of escrows, and review closing statements for completeness and accuracy. We will serve as liaison between the title company, escrow holder, and the City. • Prepare and submit a Letter of Recommendation to the City for any proposed administrative settlements, including a chronology of the negotiation efforts, any supporting evidence and documentation, and an analysis of the recommendation • If needed, recommend condemnation action when negotiations have reached an impasse.

Required justification will be submitted, along with our strategy to continue working towards an agreement during the condemnation process.
• Perform any other normal procedures to implement the acquisition assignment and provide any other supporting information and/or correspondence required by the City. • Provide bilingual acquisition agents, as needed.
• If necessary, provide search and identification services, along with feasibility studies and cost estimates for required replacement sites or mitigation areas.

Condemnation Support. In the event that negotiations are unsuccessful and the City has determined that an administrative settlement is not feasible, Jennifer Cole will support the City’s legal counsel throughout the condemnation process by preparing resolution hearing notices, providing copies of acquisition files and backup documentation, and assisting in the eminent domain complaint and trial preparation, as requested. Jennifer will also be available to provide expert witness testimony, if needed, and support any ongoing settlement negotiations that may occur prior to and during trial, including alternative dispute resolutions and negotiations for Stipulated Use and Possession to assure access to the property for project use.

RELOCATION SERVICES
If necessary, Monument will implement a Relocation Assistance Program (RAP) to ensure that displaced individuals and businesses receive prompt relocation benefits and advisory services in accordance with all Federal, State, and local regulations, and the Caltrans Right-of-Way Manual, as applicable.

Monument has facilitated the relocation of thousands of businesses and residences, and we excel at providing professional, compliant services while carrying out the relocation process with thoughtful 4 CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO | Proposal for On-Call Right-of-Way Services 79 consideration of the needs of the impacted displacees. As needed, we will prepare all required Relocation Impact Documents and Replacement Housing Valuations to ensure that the Project is in compliance with regulatory standards, and create and conduct outreach programs to properly inform and counsel impacted residents and communities. Upon Project commencement, Monument’s agents, led by Taylor Running, will meet personally with each displacee to conduct an initial interview and collect documentation, inform them of their right to benefits, and explain the relocation process. We will then prepare a Notice of Eligibility detailing benefit amounts that will be submitted to the City for review and approval. Monument will conduct appropriate searches for relocation replacement sites and provide relocation site referrals to displacees and personally inspect replacement dwellings and/or buildings and sites to determine if they meet decent, safe, and sanitary regulatory requirements. Where appropriate, we will advise displacees of available economic assistance and social services; and provide displacees with referrals to organizations, social service agencies and community organizations.

Although not expressly requested as part of the required Scope of Work, based on our understanding of the City’s anticipated project needs, Monument has the ability to provide the following additional tasks and professional services should the need arise.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Interim property management and security services will be available to the City for all assigned projects. Once a property is vacated, our Property Management Manager, Curtis Bibolet, will make recommendations as to interim leasing of properties or securing sites ahead of construction. Typical activities include: initial property inspection, board-up and securing of property perimeter, interim leasing and rent collection, establishment of trust accounts for collected rents and deposits, graffiti and nuisance abatement, utility payments and account maintenance, and hazardous materials testing and remediation. Monument will provide all required services for any vacant or occupied properties that are acquired as a part of the City’s assigned projects.

CALTRANS RIGHT-OF-WAY CERTIFICATION
The final step in the right-of-way process for federally-funded projects is the Right-of-Way Certification approval, which documents that the construction project is ready for advertising. During this process, Monument will coordinate and attend certification planning activities and meet with the City, Caltrans Right-of-Way, Local Assistance staff, and the project partners to determine project requirements and the certification level required to meet the project construction schedule. Monument will coordinate with the project engineer, utility relocation, acquisition, and right-of-way engineering managers to ensure their respective activities have been completed in compliance with applicable policy and certification requirements.

Monument will assist the City in the preparation of the submittal package that will include the certification form and compilation of the necessary back-up documents. This would generally include deeds, resolutions of necessity, final orders of condemnation, access agreements, cooperative agreements, permits, utility relocation agreements and notices, utility relocation plans, among other documents.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL SERVICES
5 CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO | Proposal for On-Call Right-of-Way Services 80 EXCESS LAND DISPOSITION
Monument will identify potential excess land for planning purposes and prepare a Staff Report for City approval. We will follow the California Government Code Section 54220 as well as the City’s Policies and Procedures when offering the property for sale. The steps include:
• Develop a legal description and plat of the excess area • Appraise the excess land to determine its highest and best use and minimum value for sale. • Prepare a resolution for the City Council to approve declaring the area as excess and available for sale.
• Per Gov. Code 54220, reach out to various governmental agencies to determine if they are interested in purchasing the excess land at the appraised value. • If governmental agencies are not interested, then expose the excess land to the open real estate market via a standard “For Sale” process, or request for bid. • The “For Sale” process includes marketing the land via local MLS service or other tool, publishing the sale in local periodicals, and placing a sign on the property. The sale would be to the most responsible offer received within a given timeframe. • The request for bid process includes marketing the property and receiving bids on a specific day. On that day, open bids and award to the highest responsible bidder. • Work with the City attorney to draft a sales agreements and closing the property through escrow.

CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 25-75 REGARDING THE

EMERGENCY CONTRACT AND AWARD OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH ACCO ENGINEERED SYSTEMS, INC. FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER HVAC PROJECT (CIP 52083)

[ ] Council [ X ] Staff

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to adopt Resolution 25-75 regarding the Emergency Contract and award the Emergency Contract with ACCO Engineered Systems, Inc. for the Community Center HVAC System Repair Project occurring at the Community Center located at 1075 West Capitol Avenue.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Find that Community Center HVAC Repair project is exempt from CEQA analysis under CEQA Guidelines 15269. According to the CEQA Guidelines, an emergency includes emergency repairs to public or privately owned service facilities necessary to maintain service essential to the public health, safety, or welfare;
2) Adopt, by a minimum four-fifths vote of the Council, Resolution 25-75, regarding the Emergency Contract with ACCO Engineered Systems, Inc. for the Community Center HVAC Repair Project; 3) Approve the contract with ACCO Engineered Systems, Inc. to provide emergency HVAC repair services at the West Sacramento Community Center;
4) Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute an emergency contract for services in an amount not to exceed $35,099.00 with approval from the City Attorney; 5) Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute amendments or change orders on the contract; 6) Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute non-substantive changes and modifications, with approval from the City Attorney; and
7) Authorize the City Manager or designee to extend the contract term and adjust compensation, within the limits of the Council-approved budget.

BACKGROUND
Opposite City Hall Galleria in the heart of the Civic Center District, the Community Center located at 1075 West Capitol Ave. is an integral City facility operated by the Parks and Recreation Department. Construction of the facility was completed in late 2010 and the building went into service in 2011.

The three-story structure houses a multitude of recreation opportunities for multiple generations. During weekday hours the facility is busy with Active Aging programs for seniors ranging from crafts to wellness activities. The facility hosts after-school enrichment classes, and its various-sized meeting rooms are the setting of community rentals ranging from professional workshops and board meetings to graduations and celebrations of life. The West Sacramento Historical Society maintains a museum-quality exhibit space illustrating the City’s history. The arts are alive within the building's rotating visual art exhibits within Gallery 1075 and a rentable Black Box Theater where community, regional, and professional performances are staged.

As the building enters its 15th year of operation, many major components are reaching the end of their useful life—most notably the HVAC system. In recent years, the system has experienced multiple significant failures.

As a result, at the FY 2024/25 Mid-Term Budget Adoption on August 21, 2024, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project No. 52083 was established to re-design and replace the building’s HVAC system. On May 28, 2025, the HVAC unit serving the second floor (excluding the Black Box Theater) suffered a critical failure due to tubing and joint issues, resulting in a complete loss of refrigerant and rendering the system inoperable. This has created an unconditioned environment for the impacted spaces.

City staff made multiple attempts to restore the failed HVAC unit; however, due to the unit's age and obsolescence, all efforts were unsuccessful. Temporary HVAC units have been deployed to maintain functionality of the affected spaces until repairs can be completed under an emergency contract. To identify an 92 Community Center HVAC Emergency Repair Project
June 18, 2025

interim solution, staff consulted with Norman S. Wright and ACCO Engineered Systems, Inc. Due to the unavailability of replacement units, caused by the units being obsolete, repairs are the only viable short-term option. ACCO conducted a site visit, performed diagnostics on the failed units, and confirmed staff’s assessment.

ANALYSIS
For the purposes of contracting, Section 1102 of the Public Contract Code (PCC) defines an emergency as “a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential services.” PCC 20168 allows cities to enter into no-bid emergency construction contracts following the procedure set out in PCC22050. PCC 22050 allows a city to delegate this authority to a non-elected public official. West Sacramento Municipal Code 3.04.090 delegates this authority to the “purchasing agent”, which is elsewhere defined as the City Manager.

Once the contract has been approved, the City Manager is required to report on the contract at the next City Council meeting (PCC 22050(b)(3)). If the work is continuing, the Council needs to authorize continuing the work by a 4/5 vote (PCC 22050(c)(2)). Because the work involved in the emergency repair may extend beyond the June 18, 2025, City Council meeting, the Council is asked to adopt a resolution allowing the work of the contractor to continue. Resolution 25-75, allowing the work of the contractor to continue beyond the June 18, 2025, Council meeting, is attached. The resolution must be approved by a minimum four-fifths vote of the Council for the work to continue.

Environmental Considerations
This emergency repair is exempt from CEQA analysis under CEQA Guidelines 15269. According to the CEQA Guidelines, an emergency includes emergency repairs to public or privately owned service facilities necessary to maintain service essential to the public health, safety, or welfare.

This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department and coordinated with and reviewed by the Public Works Operations and Maintenance Department, Parks & Recreation Department, Finance Department, and the City Attorney.

The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to adopt Resolution 25-74 regarding the Emergency Contract and award a Construction Contract with SubZero HVAC Services for the Police Department HVAC Emergency Installation Project occurring at the Police Department located at 550 Jefferson Blvd.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Find that Police Department HVAC Emergency Installation project is exempt from CEQA analysis under CEQA Guidelines 15269. According to the CEQA Guidelines, an emergency includes emergency repairs to public or privately owned service facilities necessary to maintain service essential to the public health, safety, or welfare;

BACKGROUND
The Police Department’s IT server room houses critical infrastructure that supports daily operations, communications systems, data storage, and public safety software. Maintaining appropriate environmental conditions, specifically cooling, is essential to ensuring uninterrupted service and preventing equipment failure.

Recently, the server room has experienced elevated temperatures due to insufficient cooling capacity. This rise in heat levels poses a serious risk to the stability and performance of the IT systems. Without immediate intervention, there is potential for system overheating, data loss, and disruption to essential public safety functions. To mitigate this risk, staff has placed temporary cooling units inside the server room as an immediate measure to stabilize temperatures and protect critical equipment.

Staff reached out to multiple vendors regarding the installation of a dedicated cooling unit and selected Sub Zero HVAC Services for the emergency installation based on their ability to respond quickly and meet the project requirements.

ANALYSIS
For the purposes of contracting, Section 1102 of the Public Contract Code (PCC) defines an emergency as “a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential services.” PCC 20168 allows cities to enter into no-bid emergency construction contracts following the procedure set out in PCC22050.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to approve Contract Amendment No. 5 of the professional services contract with Consor North America, Inc. (Consor) for construction management services for the Sycamore Trail Extension Phase II Project (CIP 14021).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Approve and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 5 to the construction management contract with Consor in the amount of $250,000 for the Sycamore Trail Extension Phase II Project;
2) Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute amendments or change orders up to 10% of the contract amendment amount ($25,000);
3) Authorize the City Manager to execute non-substantive changes or modifications, with approval from the City Attorney; and
4) Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute amendments to further extend the term of the contract, if necessary.

BACKGROUND
On May 23, 2022, staff solicited proposals for construction management services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) and received four proposals. After reviewing Consor’s qualifications, experience, and proposed work plan, the staff selection panel determined that Consor has a strong understanding of the work to be performed and is the most qualified firm to provide the construction management services. The contract was awarded by the City Council on the August 3, 2022, meeting. Amendment No. 1 to the contract was made on February 28, 2023, to include subcontractor rate changes. Amendment No. 2 to the contract was made on November 18, 2024, to release previously approved contingency in the amount of $200,186 and extend the term of the contract to June 30, 2025, to continue providing construction support and project closeout. Amendment No. 3 to the contract was made on January 15, 2025, to increase the contract in the amount of $300,000 and extend the term of the contract to December 31, 2025. Amendment No. 4 to the contract was made on May 6, 2025, to release previously approved contingency in the amount of $45,000.

Pursuant to the Public Contract Code, the project was publicly advertised for construction on October 3, 2023.

The bids were opened on November 17, 2023, and staff determined Bridgeway Civil Constructors, Inc. to be the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder. On February 2, 2023, the City Council awarded the construction contract to Bridgeway Civil Constructors, Inc. in the amount of $11,230,198.50.

ANALYSIS
Construction for the project is currently ongoing, with an anticipated completion in June 2025. There was a delay in the initial project completion due to production of the final elements of the work, including the picket fence panels. Consor has also been required to spend additional effort in managing the contractor and contracts, which includes implementing additional project focus meetings and responding to RFIs, letters, and notice of potential claims. As a result, Amendment No. 5 is requesting additional funds in the amount of $250,000 in order to complete construction support, project closeout, and dispute resolution support. 102

Environmental Considerations
On August 22, 2018, the City Council adopted the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Project with Resolution 18-51. As the project has not been modified since that time, no new environmental analysis is required, consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15168(c)(2).

RE: Request Amendment 5 for Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Sycamore Trail Project Phase II
Dear Mr. Teves,
As the City is aware, the Sycamore Trail Phase Project is significantly behind schedule. We have evaluated the project status and needs relative to the Consor budget for our professional services and respectfully request a budget increase.

We would like to officially a budget increase of $250,000 for a total not-to-exceed budget of $2,129,759.06 Current Not-to-Exceed budget, including amendment 4: $ 1,879,759.06 Amendment 5 Request $ 250,000.00
Total Not-to-Exceed Budget: $ 2,129,759.06
There are several factors which required Consor to send additional effort on this project and contributing to the request for additional funds a delay to the project completion and additional effort managing the general Contractor BCCI.

The delay to project completion.
• The best case scenario for project completion is May 6, 2025 at 177 working days past the contract completion date. Consor’s team has spent and will need to continue to spend additional efforts in the day-today management of the work, including inspection time, however we continue to strive to work efficiently and minimize the costs for this additional effort. The request for $250,000 includes full construction management services for March and April, plus budget for project closeout.

Consor has also been required to spend additional effort in managing the contractor and contract. • There is the hope of a global settlement and there have been promising conversations. However, at this time, there is no written outline or agreement towards a global settlement. Therefore we have budgeted $80,000 towards continued dispute resolution support.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (916) 298-8769, or my email at: [email protected]. We look forward to continuing our partnership on this important City project.

Sincerely,
Consor

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide sufficient information to the City Council for it to adopt Resolution 25-66 establishing the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 list of projects to be funded with the State Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA/SB1) revenues and authorizing staff submission of the list to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 25-66 establishing and approving the list of FY 2025/26 projects to be funded with the State Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA/SB1) revenues and authorize staff to submit the list to the State of California Transportation Commission (CTC).

BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant statewide multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls. SB1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of California are aware of the projects proposed for funding in each community and which projects have been completed in each fiscal year. In order to comply with this provision, the City must annually establish a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) created by SB 1.

The list must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project's completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.

Collection on this new funding source by the State began on November 1, 2017 and $6,828,206 in SB 1 funding and associated interest earnings has been allocated to the City as of FY 2023/24. The City is projected to receive an additional $1,386,773 by the end of FY 2024/25 and an additional $1,424,080 in FY 2025/26 (according to CaliforniaCityFinance.com). To receive the SB1 funds for FY 2025/26, the City must submit a list of projects, approved by the Council, to the State Transportation Commission (CTC) by July 1, 2025. If the City does not submit the list by the due date, funds may be redistributed to other agencies. 108

SB1 RMRA Project List
June 18, 2025

The SB1 revenues through the end of FY 2024/25 are estimated at $7,922,209. The planned expenditures through FY 2024/25 are $8,100,000. If the actual revenues for previous fiscal years are added to the estimated revenues for FY 2025/26, the estimated revenues through FY 2025/26 are $9,416,396. The estimated total revenues ($9,416,396) less the amount already expended ($8,100,000), leave approximately $1,316,396 for future expenditures through FY 2025/26.

Table 3 illustrates the City’s current plan to expend both the current balance of SB1 funds and the funds within the identified project accounts for FY 2019/20 through FY 2024/25 and estimated future revenues to be received in FY 2025/26.

In conformance with the provisions of the program, cities and counties are required to annually adopt a project list and resolution to secure eligible funds. Projects that carryover from year to year must be relisted on each year's project list, irrespective of prior annual approvals.

The recommended action does not appropriate funds to the projects. Appropriation of funds for FY 2025/26 will be requested through the current Capital Improvement Program budget process at which time the City has the flexibility to shift funds between projects and/or to appropriate funds to other projects that meet the SB1 criteria.

SB1 affords cities and counties flexibility to deviate from a project list in any given fiscal year should local priorities/circumstances change. Any deviations from a project list in a given fiscal year will be captured through the next annual expenditure report to the CTC.

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).) Each project identified herein will receive individual CEQA analysis and documentation during its development phase.

Alternatives
The Council may:
1) Approve the recommended action as stated above.
2) Approve the recommended action with modifications. Staff does not recommend modifications that will require staff to return to Council for approval as the deadline to submit an approved list to the CTC is July 1, 2025.
3) Council may choose to not approve the recommended action and the associated project list. Staff does not recommend this because failure to submit the list by July 1, 2025, may result in the loss of approximately $1,420,000 in SB1 funding for FY 2025/26.

Staff recommend Alternative 1 as Alternatives 2 and 3 may result in the loss of approximately $1,420,000 in SB1 funding for FY 2025/26 as the deadline to submit an approved list to the CTC is July 1, 2025.

Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department, in coordination with and reviewed by the Finance Department.

Budget/Cost Impact
The City must submit the list of projects to be funded with State Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (SB1) funds to the CTC by July 1, 2025. Failure to do so could result in the loss of approximately $1,420,000 in FY 2025/26 that the City could otherwise use to repair and maintain its streets.

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to consider resolution 25-64, consenting to the withdrawal of Reclamation District 537 (RD 537) from the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA/Agency) joint powers agreement.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 25-64, authorizing the withdrawal of Reclamation District 537 (RD 537) from the WSAFCA Joint Powers Agreement.

BACKGROUNDThe City of West Sacramento and Reclamation Districts 900 and 537, established the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency in 1994 by entering into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA), in response to a reconnaissance report that was completed by the USACE following the 1986 storm event that resulted in flooding in various locations throughout the Sacramento Valley. The purpose of the JPA was to coordinate planning and debt financing for developing, designing, acquiring, and constructing flood control facilities, works, and project improvements. Each member of the JPA also contributed funds for conducting studies and staffing WSAFCA to evaluate the levees that protect the city and identify mitigation efforts to reduce the risk of flooding. The financial contributions to the Agency were returned to the member agencies in 2018.

The JPA articulates RD 900, RD 537, and the City as the members to the Agency, the boundaries, purpose, and powers of the Agency and framework for conducting Agency business. The Agreement recognizes the upfront contributions made by each of the entities to the Agency to fund planning and construction activities and repayment of those funds. The Agreement discusses the need to seek funding through grants, property tax assessments and the authorization to use debt financing and articulates the governing body as the one member of the City Council and one trustee from RD 537 and one trustee from RD 900, each serving on behalf of their respective political bodies.

In 2018, following a Yolo Local Agency Formation Commission (YLAFCO) Maintenance Service Review, the City submitted an application to the YLAFCO to bring the RD 900 and a portion of RD 537 under the City as subsidiaries, similar to the Yolo-West Sacramento Port. In the following year, the proposal to reorganize RD 900 as a subsidiary district to the City of West Sacramento and detaching the RD 537 area within the City and annexing the same into the RD 900 territory was approved by the YLAFCO.

On February 15, 2025, staff received an email from Mayor Guererro, regarding a meeting she had with Director Tom Ramos to discuss RD 537’s desire to withdraw from WSAFCA and the JPA. Staff reached out to WSAFCA Chair Ramos, after discussing the withdrawal request with the WSAFCA attorney, and requested that RD 537 submit a letter to document the withdrawal request. Staff received a letter (Attachment 1) from the RD 537 President on April 1, 2025. Staff met with the WSAFCA attorney and researched the contributions that each JPA partner entity had provided and determined that each of the member agencies (RD 537, RD 900, and the City) were repaid for those initial contributions through payment or funds were dedicated to flood risk reduction project work (Attachment 2). Staff also reached out to the City Attorney about RD 537’s desire to withdrawal from the JPA and arranged a meeting with the City and WASFCA attorneys. One item both attorneys thought needed to be addressed was an amendment to the JPA in 2011, which acknowledged that the JPA member agencies and provided a withdrawal from the JPA by a member agency by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB) to provide written assurances for existing project commitments as requested. Staff provided a response to RD 537 (Attachment 4) and requested that they prepare and execute a RD 537 Board Resolution requesting the withdrawal from the WSAFCA JPA and a letter to the CVFPB, indicating their desire to withdraw from the JPA. 115
Resolution 25-64
June 18, 2025

ANALYSIS
The Agency achieved many of the goals and objectives outlined in the JPA. A Preliminary Inspection Report and Alternative Analysis were completed in 2007 and 2008; the West Sacramento residents approved a property tax assessment and sales tax measure (Measure V) for flood control, and the City Council approved a flood in-lieu fee on new development. Together, these revenue sources provide for the City’s share for flood protection and have been used to investigate, design, and construct levees that protect the city in cooperation with the State Department of Water Resources and, more recently, with the US Army Corps of Engineers. Four Early Implementation Projects (River’s CHP, I Street, and Southport) were completed between 2011 and 2017 and WSAFCA led design on two Yolo Bypass levee reaches, and the USACE completed YBEL project’s construction.

The original JPA includes provisions for the member agencies to withdrawal from the WSAFCA JPA and requires the unanimous consent of the Parties. In accordance with the language in the JPA, “Any withdrawal with unanimous consent shall be effective on the last day of a specified fiscal year in which the withdrawal is consented to.” RD 537 has requested that this matter be settled this 2024/25 fiscal year. The Agreement further articulates that if a withdrawing member has rights in any facilities or obligations to the Agency, that the member agency cannot sell, lease, or transfer said rights or be relieved of its obligations to pay its share of the operation and maintenance costs related to use of the facilities without a written agreement from the other agencies. RD 537 sent a letter to the CVFPB telling them of their intention to withdrawal from the JPA (Attachment 5). Staff received a response letter from the CVFPB (Attachment 7) that the Board still holds the City and RD 900 responsible for the obligations of the WSAFCA JPA. Those obligations include: operate and maintain flood control works within the Agency’s boundaries; indemnify the State of California for liabilities arising out of such operation and maintenance or failure to conduct same; and /or indemnify the State of California for design or construction of flood control improvements designed or constructed by the Agency. These responsibilities and obligations are also articulated in the Local Project Partnership Agreement with the CVFPB. WSAFCA agrees to these commitments as a funding condition for the West Sacramento Levee Improvement Program.

The three-member board will be reduced to two members with the withdrawal of the RD 537 and will lose a valuable and knowledgeable Director. The WSAFCA attorney opines that the JPA could be composed of a twomember Board, however, a two-member board is potentially problematic for a number of reasons. Two persons will be needed for a quorum on a two-member board, and an absence by one of the Directors or disagreement on an agenda item that isn’t approved by both directors will not allow the Agency to conduct its business. Staff will return to the board at a subsequent meeting to present potential options for a different composition of the WSAFCA Board.

Environmental Considerations
N/A
Commission Recommendation
The withdrawal of RD 537 from the WSAFCA JPA will also be presented to the WSAFCA Board and Reclamation District 900 Board for their consent.

WEST SACRAMENTO AREA FLOOD CONTROL AGENCY JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WHEREAS, the City of West Sacramento ("City"), Reclamation District No. 900 ("RD 900"), and Reclamation District No. 537 ("RD 537") are parties to the 1993 West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement ("JPA"), which formally created the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency ("WSAFCA"); and WHEREAS, pursuant to a July 2020 reorganization by Yolo County LAFCo, RD 537's service area in the City was transferred to RD 900; and WHEREAS, RD 537 remained involved in WSAFCA since 2020 assisting in completing and closing out the Southport Levee Improvement Project, and the formalizing of a Project Partnership Agreement with the US Army Corps of Engineers and the State of California, which will enable the completion of the federal project and 200+ year flood protection for the City; and WHEREAS, RD 537 no longer maintains flood control responsibilities within the City; and WHEREAS, on April 20, 2025, the RD 537 Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2025-04-02 entitled "Resolution Withdrawing From The West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency JPA" declaring the intent of RD 537 to withdraw from the JPA effective June 30, 2025; and
WHEREAS, Section 34(a) of the JPA provides that: "No Party may withdraw from the Agency without the unanimous consent of the Parties. Any withdrawal with unanimous consent shall be effective on the last day of a specified fiscal year in which the withdrawal is consented to."
WHEREAS, the City, RD 900 and RD 537, adopted an amendment to the JPA, effective October 13, 2011, providing that no Party to this Agreement may withdraw from the JPA Agreement so long as the WSAFCA has outstanding Project Commitments, unless such withdrawing party first provides such reasonable written assurances regarding the Project Commitments as the Central Valley Flood Protection Board ("CVFPB") may request.

EXHIBIT "B"

AMENDMENT TO WEST SACRAMENTO AREA FLOOD CONTROL AGENCY JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT ("JPA")
This Amendment to JPA is entered into effective as of October 13, 2011 by and between the undersigned Members of the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency ("WSAFCA") in consideration of the covenants hereinafter set forth.

RECITALS:

A. The City of West Sacramento, Reclamation District No. 900 ("RD900") and Reclamation District No. 537 ("RD537") are all Members of WSAFCA.

B. Since its formation on July 20, 1994, WSAFCA has been working diligently to enhance the level of flood protection provided within its boundaries, which boundaries are coextension with the boundaries of the City of West Sacramento.

C. WSAFCA, as Funding Recipient, has entered into Funding Agreements with the State of California Department of Water Resources for flood improvement projects funded under the State-Federal Flood Control System Modification Program (Early Implementation Program) (each a "Construction Funding Agreement").

D. A Construction Funding Agreement requires that WSAFCA be ultimately responsible for and indemnify the State for operation, repair, replacement and rehabilitation of any portion of a flood control project not currently required to be operated, repaired, replaced, or rehabilitated by the State ("OMRR&R") after WSAFCA has entered into binding Agreements to Seek Responsibility for OMRR&R with each of RD900 and RD537, (the entities currently responsible for OMRR&R of such federally authorized flood control project works within their respective boundaries) requiring RD900 and RD537 to enter into OMRR&R Agreements with the Central Valley Flood Protection Board ('CVFPB"), if RD900 and/or RD537 fail to enter into or fail to perform under such OMRR&R Agreements.

E. The CVFPB has adopted a policy resolution, Resolution 09-17, under which the CVFPB will accept indemnification for OMRR&R from a Joint Powers Agency which is a local sponsor for a flood control improvement project requiring a permit from the CVFPB, without requiring indemnification for OMRR&R from each and all of its member agencies, if, (I) the JPA provides that it will not be dissolved so long as the Joint Powers Agency has made outstanding commitments to the CVFPB for OMRR&R and OMRR&R indemnification, or (ii) the member agencies of the Joint Powers Agency will provide the foregoing maintenance assurances and indemnification prior to the Joint Powers Agency dissolving, or (iii) the Joint Powers Agency provides to CVFPB such other agreements or assurances as may be acceptable to the CVFPB.

F. The purpose of this Amendment to JPA is to comply with the CVFPB policy resolution referenced in recital E, above, so as not to require indemnification for OMRR&R by all of the Members of WSAFCA.

AGREEMENT:

This JPA is hereby amended so as to add Section 39 thereto, to read as follows:

Re: RD 537 withdrawal from WSAFCA Joint Powers Agency;
Bill,
Thanks for your letter dated April 30, 2025 and the RD 537 Board Resolution, regarding the withdrawal of RD 537 from the WSAFCA JPA. WSAFCA acknowledges that the RD 537 service area no longer includes any portions of the City of West Sacramento and its desire to exit the WSAFCA JPA. On behalf of the Agency, we recognize and appreciate RD 537’s contributions to the JPA, which facilitated the Project Partnership Agreement with the US Army Corps of Engineers.

I’m writing you about a JPA amendment (Amendment 11-10-01) that was executed by RD 900, RD 537, and the City, to comply with a Central Valley Flood Protection Board Resolution 09-17, requiring WSAFCA to make certain project commitments for operation, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation and replacement (OMRR&R) and provide OMRR&R indemnification to the State of California for any portion of the flood control project not performed by the State of California.

The CVFPB resolution was written to commit the WSAFCA JPA and not the member agencies to the OMRRR responsibilities and State of California indemnification. However, Amendment 11-10-01 also addresses WSAFCA members’ duties in the event of a member withdrawal:
"39. Project Commitments Made to State of California. (a) For purposes of this Section, "Project Commitments" shall mean agreements between the Agency and the Central Valley Flood Protection Board or any successor entity (collectively "CVFPB") to: (i) operate and maintain flood control works within the boundaries of the Agency, (ii) indemnify the State of California for liabilities arising out of such operation and maintenance or the failure to conduct same; and/or (iii) indemnify the State of California for design or construction of flood control improvements designed or constructed by the Agency. ***
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 34, no Party to this Agreement may withdraw from the Agreement so long as the Agency has outstanding Project Commitments, unless such withdrawing party first provides such reasonable written assurances regarding the Project Commitments as the CVFPB may request.

I do not believe that the City or RD 900 oppose the RD 537 withdrawal from the Agency, but we believe that you need to contact the Central Valley Flood Protection Board and inform them of your desire to withdraw from the JPA and what they may request/require for the withdrawal from WSAFCA. We are open to working with you and meeting with CVFPB about the RD 537 withdrawal.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 18, 2025 ITEM # 11
SUBJECT:

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 25-70 SUPPORTING AN

ADDENDUM TO THE SOUTHPORT SACRAMENTO RIVER EARLY IMPLEMENTATION

PROJECT FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE SOUTHPORT LEVEE RECREATION TRAIL PROJECT (CIP 62147)
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [ X ] Staff
[ ] Other
Jai Chahal, Const. & Facilities Dev. Manager
Capital Projects Department
ATTACHMENT [ X ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [ X ] Action

OBJECTIVE
To consider adoption of Resolution 25-70 supporting an Addendum to the Southport Sacramento River Early Implementation Project (SSREIP) Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2011082069) to include the Southport Levee Recreation Trail Project (CIP 62147).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution 25-70, approving an Addendum to the Southport Sacramento River Early Implementation Project Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2011082069) for the Southport Levee Recreation Trail Project (CIP 62147);
2) Approve the Southport Levee Recreation Trail Project (CIP 62147); and 3) Authorize the City Manager or designee to file a Notice of Determination in accordance with CEQA.

BACKGROUND
The Southport Sacramento River Early Implementation Project (SSREIP), implemented by the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA) in partnership with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), involved flood risk-reduction improvements to approximately 5.6 miles of the Sacramento River South Levee. The Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the SSREIP was certified in 2014 (SCH No. 2011082069), and a Subsequent EIR was prepared in 2016 to address the use of an additional borrow site during construction. Levee construction was completed in 2018.

To advance recreational use of the newly constructed levee, staff began preparation of a grant application in December 2020 for the Sacramento-San-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy’s Community and Economic Enhancement (CEE) Grant Program. The CEE program supports projects that sustain Delta heritage and enhance community access and engagement.

To prepare a formal grant application, the City issued a Request for Proposals for the Southport Levee Planning and Design Project. Mark Thomas Inc. was selected as the lead consultant based on its experience with levee, flood, and trail projects. The City worked with Mark Thomas to refine the scope and cost for design and environmental documentation.

On December 8, 2021, the City Council:
 Approved a grant agreement with the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta Conservancy for $337,863 to fund planning and design, and
 Awarded a professional services contract to Mark Thomas Inc. for environmental documentation, design, and permitting of the 5.6-mile Class I multi-use trail.

On February 13, 2023, the City Council approved Contract Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $4,308 to provide legal descriptions for securing a Recreation Easement.

On February 21, 2024, the City Council approved Contract Amendment No. 2 for additional environmental, design, and permitting services.

The current action completes the CEQA documentation phase through adoption of an Addendum to the SSREIP EIR to evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with the Southport Levee Recreation Trail Project (CIP 62147).
141
Addendum to the Southport Sacramento River Early Implementation EIR June 18, 2025

ANALYSIS
The City, as lead agency under CEQA, prepared an Addendum to the certified SSREIP Final EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. (Attachment 1) The Addendum evaluates the Southport Levee Recreation Trail Project, which includes paving the levee crown for a Class I multi-use trail and constructing support features such as trailheads, parking, signage, rest stops, and monuments.

The Addendum concludes that the project does not involve new or substantially more severe significant impacts not previously analyzed in the SSREIP EIR and Subsequent EIR. Therefore, preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR is not required. The proposed trail project is consistent with the original levee footprint and project purpose and does not alter mitigation requirements or previously adopted CEQA findings.

Environmental Considerations
The Addendum prepared under CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 demonstrates that the project would not result in new or more severe significant impacts than those previously analyzed. All applicable mitigation measures from the SSREIP EIR remain in effect. Adoption of the Addendum satisfies CEQA requirements for environmental consideration of the Southport Levee Recreation Trail Project.

Commission Recommendation
N/A
Strategic Plan Integration
N/A
Alternatives
The City Council may consider the following alternatives:
1) Approve Resolution 25-70 adopting the Addendum and the project as recommended. 2) Direct staff to modify the Addendum and return at a later date. 3) Decline to approve the Addendum.

Staff recommends Alternative 1, as the project is subject to strict grant deadlines, and any delay in approving the EIR Addendum could jeopardize the City’s ability to meet required timelines Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department in coordination with and review by the Community Development Department.

Budget/Cost Impact
This project is included in the City’s current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as CIP 62147: Southport Levee Recreation Trail Project.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 11, 2024
TO: Erik Smith, Division Manager
Mark Thomas & Company Inc.
2833 Junction Avenue, Suite 110
San Jose, California 95134
FROM: Edward Heming, AICP, Principal and Lynnea Palecki, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Addendum to the Southport Sacramento River Early Implementation Project (SSREIP) Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2011082069) This memorandum, prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) describes the revisions to the to the Southport Sacramento River Early Implementation Project (SSREIP) Final Environmental Impact Report EIR (approved project), certified on August 14, 2014, by the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency Board.

INTRODUCTION
The following describes the proposed Southport Levee Recreation Trail (SLRT) (proposed project) that is the subject of this Addendum prepared pursuant to CEQA. The proposed project would result in the construction of a new trail and associated improvements (e.g., site access, parking, rest stop bulb-outs, signage and monuments) to the existing Southport Levee as described in more detail below. The City of West Sacramento (City) is the lead agency for review of the proposed project under CEQA.

The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Southport Sacramento River Early Implementation Project (SSREIP) (approved project) evaluated the potential environmental impacts anticipated to result from construction and operation of the proposed project, which is part of the larger multiphase project that completed construction in 2018. The SSREIP included the construction of flood risk-reduction measures along the Sacramento River South Levee. Levee improvements included a combination of fix in place and a new setback levee embankment construction with cutoff walls, seepage berms, utility relocation, demolition, rock slope protection, and the use of borrow sites. Project transportation improvements included realigned roadways, new access ramps and roads, turnouts, cul-de-sacs, and maintenance corridors. The SSREIP also constructed flood riskreduction measures to addressed deficiencies of through-seepage, under-seepage, slope stability and geometry, erosion, encroachments, and noncompliant vegetation. The SSREIP’s goal was to achieve a 200-year level minimum of levee performance for the City of West Sacramento bringing the levee up to Federal and State standards.
146
12/11/24 (P:\M-S\MKT2203 Southport West Sac Levee Trail\PRODUCTS\Addendum\CEQA Addendum 12112024.docx) 2 The proposed project would consist of a new 5.9-mile paved multi-use trail and associated improvements (e.g., site access, parking, rest stop bulb-outs, signage and monuments). The majority of the proposed trail would extend along the crown of the recently constructed levee (including the Southport Setback Levee). Other segments of the proposed trail would extend along the top of a historical levee, historic-period railroad grade, or on elevated roadway. The proposed project would be a new addition to the existing Southport Setback Levee and was not previously entitled under the approved project.

This Addendum is prepared pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) which states: “An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred” Section 15162 specifies that “no subsequent EIR [or MND] shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines … one or more of the following:

1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR [or MND] due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;

2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR [or MND] due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or

3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR [or MND] was certified as complete was adopted, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR [or MND];
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR [or MND];
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR [or MND] would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.”
Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(e), this Addendum summarizes the changes to the proposed project evaluated in the Final EIR for the SSREIP and the reasons for the City’s conclusion that changes to the proposed project and associated environmental effects do not meet the 147
12/11/24 (P:\M-S\MKT2203 Southport West Sac Levee Trail\PRODUCTS\Addendum\CEQA Addendum 12112024.docx) 3 conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent MND.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
The SSREIP is part of a multiphase project that was completed in 2018. The levee was constructed by the West Sacramento Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA) and completed in partnership with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

The approved project was certified in 2014 (State Clearinghouse [SCH] No. 2011082069). The 2014 FEIR proposed the construction of flood risk-reduction measures along approximately 5.6 miles of the Sacramento River South Levee, extending from river mile (RM) 57.2 to RM 51.6 within the Sacramento River South Levee, to bring the levee up to current federal and State standards. The proposed levee improvements included the construction of a new setback levee embankment with slurry cutoff walls, seepage berms, and rock slope protection. After certification of the SSREIP EIR, a Subsequent EIR was prepared in April 2016 for the use of the Borrow One Site, which provided an additional location for sourcing borrow material during project construction. Construction of the SSREIP was completed in 2018.

PROPOSED PROJECT CHANGES
The “proposed project” for the purposes of this Addendum includes the construction of a new paved multi-use trail and associated improvements (e.g., site access, parking, rest stop bulb-outs, signage and monuments) to the existing Southport Levee as described in more detail below. The City of West Sacramento is the lead agency for review of the proposed project under CEQA.

Project Site
The following section describes the project location, existing conditions, surrounding land uses, and regulatory setting.

Project Location
The project site consists of 5.9 linear miles atop the existing Southport Setback Levee (levee), which is under the jurisdiction of the WSAFCA. The project site is located in the southern portion of the City of West Sacramento along the Sacramento River. The project site is bounded to the south-by South River Road at Riverview (an unincorporated community in Yolo County) and to the north by the intersection of South River Road and Locks Drive. Figure 1 depicts the regional vicinity.

Regional vehicular access to the project site is provided by the Capitol City Freeway (Interstate 80 Business), located approximately 1.25 miles north of the project site. The closest on- and off-ramps to the project site are located along Jefferson Boulevard, approximately 0.3 miles to the west.

Bicycle paths provide multi-modal service to the project site. Figure 2 depicts the project site and surrounding vicinity.

150
12/11/24 (P:\M-S\MKT2203 Southport West Sac Levee Trail\PRODUCTS\Addendum\CEQA Addendum 12112024.docx) 6 Existing Conditions
The project site is located on the top of the west bank levee of the Sacramento River and is relatively flat with site elevations ranging from approximately 17 to 23 feet above the landside toe, with crown elevations between 34 and 40 feet. South River Road lies along most of the levee crest and crest widths are generally slightly greater than the minimum of 20 feet. The topography of the portions of the project site that are adjacent to the levee is relatively level and range from less than 5 feet to approximately 20 feet above mean sea level.

There is an approximately 14-inch layer of aggregate base on top of the levee on which the new trail would be constructed. Levee soils are typically silty sand and poorly graded clean sand. Beneath the levee materials, the typical soil profile consists of a layer of fine-grained silt or clay (interpreted to be overbank deposits) underlain by up to 100 feet of sand and gravel, with interbedded silty sand and clayey sand layers.

Surrounding Land Uses
As shown in Figure 2, the project site is generally surrounded by riparian and river uses. To the east is the Sacramento River, riparian wetlands, and woodlands. Additionally, existing development is present to the east of the middle section of the trail, consisting of the Sacramento Yacht Club and Sherwood Harbor Marina and RV Park. This middle portion of the proposed trail and surrounding areas are located within the Liberty Specific Plan (LSP) area, which proposes low-, medium-, and high-density residences, including single-family homes as well as a recreation area and green belt.

The LSP was certified on October 2, 2017. To the west are grasslands and prairies, woodlands, riparian wetlands, and residential developments (Stonegate Residential development to the northwest end of the site, and individual homes along Village Parkway and the Clarksburg Branch line and further south down to the unincorporated community of Riverview). To the south of the project site is South River Road and agricultural row crop uses.

Circulation and Access
Existing access to the site includes the Locks Drive River access, the Linden Road River access, the Davis Road River access, the Clarksburg Branch line access, and South River Road in the unincorporated community of Riverview. Additionally, there are vehicular crossings at Chicory Lane at the north and south to provide access to the Sacramento Yacht Club and Sherwood Harbor Marina and RV Park. All access points are paved. Interior access would be provided for occasional agency service vehicles via the levee and trail, within the project area.

Regulatory Setting
The City of West Sacramento General Plan Land Use Map1 designates the project site as Open Space (OS). This land use is intended to provide open space, and the City has set aside open space areas along the Sacramento River and Port of Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel to preserve open 1 City of West Sacramento. 2016.

The City of West Sacramento Zoning Map2 identifies the project site as Public Open Space (POS). The City of West Sacramento Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan3 has identified trails/recreation corridors, including the project site, as designated open space along the Sacramento River to connect people and places while serving as active transportation facilities. According to the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan, multi-use trails fulfill three guiding principles simultaneously: protecting natural areas along rivers and open space areas, providing accessible enjoyment for people, and offering a safe, healthy alternative form of active transportation.

PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed project involves the construction of a recreational multi-use trail and associated improvements along an existing levee alignment, from the northern terminus at South River Road and Stonegate Drive south to the southern terminus at South River Road in the unincorporated community of Riverview. Individual components of the proposed project are discussed below.

Trail Improvements
As previously discussed, the proposed project would result in the construction of a paved multi-use trail consisting of a 5.9-mile contiguous Class I Bike Path on a portion of the crown of the recently constructed Southport Setback Levee. The multi-use trail would be an average of 12 feet wide along the length of the trail and would include striping and signage. Although a majority of project area is positioned on the crown of the levee existing setback levee and historic levee, a portion of the project area extends down the levee embankment in a few locations, where it remains within the levee footprint (i.e., on fill). Some portions of the project area sit on elevated roadway (approximately at the height of the levee crown) or on historical railroad grade.

Eight concrete bulb-outs would be placed periodically on the trail for rest areas and would include associated seating, signage, and trash receptacles. The entry point at South River Road to the north is already paved, as part of the proposed project, approximately 0.57 mile of South River Road would be restriped, and a new slurry seal would be applied to the trail. Figure 3 shows the proposed access points for the proposed project.

Additionally, the proposed project would include a 0.30-mile trail spur near the south end of the project which would tie into the Clarksburg Branch Line Trail connection. This spur will be a 12-footwide aggregate trail in place of an existing dirt path. 2 City of West Sacramento. 2016. City of West Sacramento Zoning Map. October.

Primary vehicular access to the project site would be provided at the main entry point of the South River Road and Village Parkway and would serve as a gateway to the proposed Southport Levee Recreation Trail. The South River Road and Village Parkway entrance would be improved with gravel parking, an information kiosk, a paved asphalt area with benches, 24 parking stalls and two Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant striped parking stalls, and trash receptacles.

Six additional existing access points would be improved as part of the proposed project including, one at the existing Linden Road trailhead, one at the Davis Road Trail connection, one near the Clarksburg Branch Line Trail connection, one on the southern trail connections at South River Road, and one the northern and southern connections at Chicory Loop. These access points would generally be improved with a concrete-paved area, information signage, trash receptacles, and seating. Additionally, the Chicory Loop access point would be improved with high visibility crosswalks and associated traffic signage, for both trail users and roadway users. Additionally, bicycle racks be placed, at the Village Parkway Trail Entrance and at the convergence of the Southport Levee Recreation Trail and the future Clarksburg Branch Line Trail.

Signage and Plaza
The proposed project would include signage along the trail, at key points of interest. Additionally, a connection plaza would be constructed at the Clarksburg Branch Line Trail connection with seating and interpretive signage.

Utilities and Infrastructure
The project would not require any utility relocations.

Construction
The proposed project would construct a recreational 12-foot-wide multi-use trail and associated improvements along an existing 5.9-mile levee alignment.

Generally, only minor grading will be required for site preparation and ground disturbance associated with paving the trail, parking and associated ramps. All fill from paving would occur on the inland side of the levee. A total of 11.25 acres of land would be disturbed during construction activities. Approximately 650 cubic yards of fill soil would be imported for the northern connection point and the connection of Southport Trail and Clarksburg Branch Line Trail. Excavation for the proposed project is anticipated to reach a maximum depth of 14 inches below ground surface for the installation of signage. Additionally, no groundwater dewatering is anticipated during construction of the proposed project.

Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to begin in August 2025 and would occur over an approximately 9–12 month period. Anticipated construction equipment associated with the proposed project includes asphalt pavers, backhoe loaders, compactors, skid steer/multi-terrain loaders, transport trucks, and cement mixer trucks.

Flood Risk Management and Geomorphic Conditions
Significance Criteria (FR-1):

Change in Flood Risk
Associated with Water
Surface Elevation
Impact FR-1: The approved project
identified a less than significant impact
to floods risks associated with water
surface elevation. Implementation of
the approved project would not result
in significant direct effects related to
local flood risk management. The
construction of an adjacent levee or a
setback levee as part of the approved
project would help reduce local flooding
behind the modified levee sections and
ensure compliance with associated
regulatory criteria. (Please refer to
Section 3.1.3.6 for more detail)
No mitigation
required.

The proposed trail would be located on top of the
west bank levee of the Sacramento River.

Therefore, the project site is not located within a
flood zone because it is an area protected from
flooding by a levee. Additionally, all fill from paving would occur on the inland side of the levee.

The proposed project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified
impacts on flood risks nor result in new significant
impacts. With adherence to applicable regulatory
requirements there would be no new or
substantially more severe significant impacts.

No applicable
mitigation
measures.

Significance Criteria (FR-2):

Decrease in Risk of Levee
Failure as a Result of Erosion
or Seepage
Impact FR-2: The approved project
identified no impact to a risk of levee
failure as a result of erosion or seepage.

Implementation of the approved project
would construct a new raised adjacent
levee to decrease erosion. The new
adjacent levee would not change the
existing potential for through- and
under-seepage potential. This flood
risk–reduction measure would not
result in any long-term changes to the
overall existing drainage pattern of the
Sacramento River. Additionally, the
direct effect of the approved project on
the levee would be beneficial; there is
no indirect effect on upstream or
downstream levees. (Please refer to
Section 3.1.3.6 for more detail.)
No mitigation
required.

The proposed trail would be located on top of the
approved project. Although the proposed project
involves the construction of recreational multi-use
trail and associated improvements along the
existing levee alignment, construction of the
approved project would not change the existing
potential for through- or under-seepage or increase
the risk of levee failure as construction of the
proposed project would only include minor grading
activities on the levee itself. No in water work is
anticipated.

However, construction of the proposed project
would disturb more than 1 acre of soil, temporarily
altering drainage patterns and increasing the
potential for soil erosion and siltation.

Additionally, operational impacts of the proposed
project would be reduced with implementation of

implementation of a Final Storm Water
Management Plan (SWMP) SWMP and RCM HYD-4,
which requires preparation and implementation of
a Runoff Control Plan per Section 15.08.280 of the
West Sacramento Municipal Code.

Therefore, the proposed project would not

Significance Criteria (FR-3):

Alteration of Existing
Drainage Pattern of Site or
Area
Impact FR-3: The approved project
identified less than significant impacts
with mitigation incorporated related to
the alteration of existing drainage
patters or site area. The approved
project would implement flood risk–
reduction measures and recreational
elements which would involve
earthwork on the top of the levee and
the landward side of the levee. These
additions along with the adjacent
modified levee could alter the course of
local runoff. Implementation of

project would only temporarily alter drainage
patterns during grading and other construction
activities, as construction activities would only
occur on the top of the levee.

The proposed project would not include major
levee alterations as discussion in the approved
project. However, construction-related pollutants

and RCM HYD-2 would reduce construction impacts
related to on- or off-site erosion or siltation to less than significant.

Therefore, the proposed project would not
substantially increase the severity of the previously
identified drainage impacts nor result in new
significant impacts. With adherence to applicable
regulatory requirements, there would be no new or
substantially more severe significant impacts.

Significance Criteria FR-4:

Increase in Channel Bed
Incision and Bank Erosion
Attributable to Heightened
Levees
Impact FR-4: The approved project
identified less than significant impacts
to bank erosion and no impacts to
channel bed incision. Implementation of
the approved project would create a
more erosion-resistant levee, benefiting
existing bank erosion rates. There
would be no direct effect on channel
bed incision in the approved project
reach, or an indirect effect downstream.

Construction of the approved project
would include the removal and
reduction of riparian vegetation which
could increase bank erosion through
loss of vegetation and disruption of soil
structure. However, these effects are
not considered adverse because
geotechnical bank stabilization (through
either bioengineering or hardscape
methods) would be required after
vegetation removal. As such, the
approved project would not
substantially impact bank erosion.

No mitigation
required.

The proposed project involves the construction of
recreational multi-use trail and associated
improvements along the existing levee alignment of
the approved project and would not include any in
channel work or modify the height of the existing
levee. However, construction of the proposed
project will disturb more than 1 acre of soil,
temporarily altering drainage patterns and
increasing the potential for soil erosion and
siltation.

Implementation of RCM HYD-1, which requires the

with Good Housekeeping Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to prevent spills and the discharge
of debris into receiving waters.

Significance Criteria FR-7:

Change in Stream Energy
and Modification of
Floodplain Scour Deposition
Impact FR-7: The approved project
identified that impacts to changes in
stream flow and modification of
floodplains would be less than
significant with mitigation
incorporated. Implementation of the
approved project would result in a slight
reduction in stream energy due to the
increased conveyance area, which
would decrease shear stresses along the
channel. Reduction in stream energy is
not expected to cause significant
changes in erosion or deposition
patterns. Additionally, the approved
project would not result in substantial
modifications to floodplain scour or
deposition, as flood flows would
continue to behave similarly to existing
conditions. However, Mitigation
Measure FR-MM-2 would be required
to reduce impacts to disruptions to
geomorphic landforms and associated
riparian vegetation from construction
activities to a less than significant level.
(Please refer to Section 3.1.3.6 for more
detail.)
While the
approved project

Mitigation
Measure FR-MM2, this mitigation
measure is not
applicable to the
proposed project.

The proposed project would be located on top of
the existing west bank levee of the Sacramento
River. The proposed project would not change the
upstream and downstream flows of the Sacramento
River as the proposed project would only include a
paved multi-use trail on the existing levee and
associated improvements. Additionally, the project
site is not located within a flood zone because it is
an area protected from flooding by a levee.

Therefore, the proposed project would not impede
or redirect flood flows.

The proposed project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified

(or in areas that drain to the
Sacramento River or other water
bodies), which could result in discharge
of these substances to the Sacramento
River or other water bodies.

Implementation of the prescribed

groundwater dewatering.

Similar to the approved project, pollutants of
concern during construction include sediments,
trash, petroleum products, concrete waste (dry and
wet), sanitary waste, and chemicals. Each of these
pollutants on its own or in combination with other
pollutants can have a detrimental effect on water
quality. During construction activities, excavated
soil would be exposed, and there would be an
increased potential for soil erosion and
sedimentation compared to existing conditions.

In addition, chemicals, liquid products, petroleum
products (e.g., paints, solvents, and fuels), and
concrete-related waste may be spilled or leaked,
and they have the potential to be transported via
stormwater runoff into receiving waters.

Implementation of RCM HYD-1, which requires the
preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP), and RCM HYD-2, which consists of
Erosion and Sediment Control measures to
minimize erosion and retain sediment on site, along
with Good Housekeeping BMPS practices to

impacts to surface waters. Additionally, pollutants
of concern from long-term operations include
pathogens (bacteria/viruses), metals, nutrients,
motor vehicle lubricants, toxic organic compounds,
pesticides/herbicides, sediments/total suspended
solids, trash and debris, and oil and grease.

Impact WQ-2: The approved project
identified less than significant impacts
to the release of contaminants into
surface water. As described in Impact
WQ-1, above, the approved project has
potential to release constructionrelated contaminants into adjacent surface water bodies; However,
development of a SWPPP, Spill

Impact WQ-2: The approved project
identified that impacts to groundwater
or surface water quality would be less
than significant with mitigation
incorporated.

Construction of the approved project
would involve trenching and excavation
associated with a cutoff wall and/or
levee reconstruction. The activities
proposed under the approved project
could expose the water table and create
a path to the groundwater basin that
would allow contaminants to enter the
groundwater system. In addition,
dewatering of the construction area and
borrow sites could result in the release
of contaminants to surface or
groundwater. Uncapped groundwater
wells located near construction
activities could also provide a direct
path to the aquifer. (Please refer to
Section 3.2.3.6 for more detail.)

Generally, only minor grading would be required for
site preparation and ground disturbance associated
with the proposed project, such as paving the trail,
parking and associated ramps. Excavation would
only be required for signage, which would require
excavation to a maximum depth of 14 inches, and
the proposed project would not require any
groundwater dewatering. Therefore, construction
of the proposed project would not substantially
decrease groundwater supplies.

Operation of the proposed project would not
involve the use of groundwater as no potable or
non-potable water facilities would be provided as
part of the proposed project. Development of the
proposed project would result in an increase in
impervious surfaces on the project site which could
reduce groundwater recharge compared to existing

The approved project would construct
slurry cutoff walls for the entire length
of the setback levee with levee
segments ranging from 24 feet in depth
to 84 feet in depth. Changes to
groundwater levels would not

approved project would involve
excavation and breaching of the existing
levee to create a shallow floodplain
these activities would expose adjacent
surface waters to hazardous
contaminants and or materials.

Implementation of the prescribed ECs

Compliance with RCM HYD-3 and RCM HYD-4 and
the requirements of the MS4 Permit and West
Sacramento Municipal Code would ensure that
operational impacts to water quality would be less
than significant.

Additionally, excavation of the proposed project
would only be for signage. No in water work or
major levee modifications are anticipated.

The proposed project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified
water quality impacts nor result in new significant

management Structures
Impact GEO-3: The approved project
identified that impacts related to
earthquake damage from
implementation of the approved project
would be less than significant.

The approved project is located in a
region of California characterized by low
seismic activity. The approved project
area is not identified as being located in
an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone.

The active fault nearest to the project
area is the Dunnigan Hills fault, which is
30 miles to the northwest.

While the risk of ground shaking in
approved project area is low, a large
earthquake on a regional fault could
cause moderately severe ground
shaking in the approved project area,
No mitigation
required.

Similar to the approved project no faults are
located within the City of West Sacramento, with
the nearest faults (Midland and East Valley) being
located approximately 15 miles to the east in the
City of Dixon. Due to distance to the nearest fault,
implementation of the project would not increase
risks to human health or safety related to fault
rupture compared to existing conditions. Therefore,
this impact would be less than significant.

Additionally, the California Geological Survey (CGS)
has mapped Seismic Hazard Zones that delineate
areas susceptible to liquefaction and/or landslides
that require proposed new developments in these
areas to conduct additional investigation to

which could result in liquefaction or
associated ground failure, such as
lateral spreading or differential
settlement, which in turn could result in
direct structural damage or indirectly
contribute to the structural degradation
of flood management structures.

Additionally, because of the relatively
small likelihood of coincidence of large
floodflow and a major earthquake, the
potential for failure or significant
damage of the approved project
structures is low. (Please refer to

proposed project is not located in areas mapped as
hazards for liquefaction and landslide.

Implementation of the proposed project would not
be in areas with potentially adverse geological
conditions, including liquefaction; therefore,
impacts are less than significant.

The proposed project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified
impacts associated with earthquake damage and
flooding nor result in new significant impacts.

Significance Criteria GEO-4:

Accelerated Erosion and
Sedimentation Resulting
from Construction-Related
Ground
Disturbance
Impact GEO-4: The approved project
identified that construction of the levee
would result less than significant
impacts to erosion and sedimentation
from ground disturbance. Construction
of the approved project would include
substantial earthwork and vegetation
disturbance at the levee sites. The
approved project would involve up to
491 acres of ground disturbance (26
acres of temporary and 465 acres of
permanent ground disturbance). With
implementation of the prescribed ECs
such as the preparation of an SWPPP,
impacts would be less than significant.

No mitigation
required.

Exposed soils could be subject to erosion during
installation of improvements for the proposed
project. Exposed soils could be entrained in storm
water runoff and transported off the project site.

The potential for soil erosion exists during the
period of earthwork activities and between the
time when earthwork is completed, and new
vegetation is established. As specified in Impact
WQ-2, RCM HYD-1 and RCM HYD-2 would require
the preparation of a SWPPP and Erosion and
Sediment Controls to reduce any potential soil
erosion impacts to less than significant.

The proposed project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified
erosion or sedimentation impacts nor result in new
significant impacts. With adherence to applicable

Significance Criteria GEO-5:

Potential Structural Damage
from Encountering
Expansive Soils
Impact GEO-5: The approved project
identified less than significant impacts
to structural damage from expansive
soils. The approved project
encountered expansive soil and
sediments at various depths below the
levees in the project area during
geotechnical investigations. The
expansive soils within the project site
could affect the structural integrity of
the slurry walls, relocated utilities, and
any future development in borrow
areas. To prevent issues related to
expansive soils, WSAFCA would
continuously monitor expansiveness of
project area soils based on existing or
new soil borings as construction
proceeds. (Please refer to Section

3.3.3.6 for more detail.)
No mitigation
required.

Soils within the proposed project consist of an
approximately 14-inch layer of aggregate base on
top of the levee on which the new trail would be
constructed. Levee soils are typically silty sand and
poorly graded clean sand. Beneath the levee
materials, the typical soil profile consists of a layer of fine-grained silt or clay (interpreted to be over
bank deposits) underlain by up to 100 feet of sand
and gravel, with interbedded silty sand and clayey
sand layers. Similar to the approved project some of
these on the proposed project site include
moderate to high shrink-swell potential (expansion
and contraction cycle when wetted and dried) and
would be considered expansive soils. With
conformance with the California Building Code,
impacts related to expansive soils would be less
than significant.

The proposed project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified
impacts associated with expansive soils nor result in
new significant impacts. With adherence to
applicable regulatory requirements there would be
no new or substantially more severe significant
impacts.

excavation and use of 2.4 million cubic
yards of mineral soil to implement flood
risk–reduction measures. The approved

classified as MRZ-1 or MRZ-3 are not
affected by State policies pertaining to
the maintenance of access to regionally
significant mineral deposits under the
California Surface Mining and 28
Reclamation Act of 1975. As such, the
approved project would not result in

Southport Trail and Clarksburg Branch Line Trail.

Additionally, similar to the approved project the
proposed project area is classified as MRZ-3, which
means aggregate deposits of undetermined
significance occur there. The project area also
contains discontinuous pockets of sand; therefore,
the project area could not be effectively or
economically mined and is considered not to
contain regionally or locally important mineral
resources, 5 and there would be no impact.

The proposed project would not substantially

alternate hours.

The proposed project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified
traffic impacts nor result in new significant impacts.

Significance Criterion TRA2: Temporary Road ClosuresThe approved project identified that impacts related to temporary road
closures would be less than significant.

Construction of the approved project
would include temporary road closures
during construction of portions of
Village Parkway, Linden Road, Davis
Road, Gregory Avenue, and Burrows
Avenue adjacent to the approved
project sites. Temporary road closures
would require a detour of normal traffic
to adjacent streets. The detouring of
traffic would increase daily traffic
volumes on roads in the surrounding
areas. The approved project would
require the development and
implantation of a traffic control and
road maintenance plan, as described
the prescribed ECs to ensure impacts
would be less than significant. (Please
refer to Section 3.4.3.6 for more detail.)
No mitigation
required.

The proposed project would be located in same
location as the approved project. The proposed
project would involve the construction of a
recreational multi-use trail and associated
improvements along an existing levee alignment,
from the northern terminus at South River Road
and Stonegate Drive south to the southern
terminus at South River Road. The proposed project
would not include any road closures or traffic
detours. Therefore, there would be no impacts.

The proposed project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified
impacts associated with road closures nor result in
new significant impacts.

the proposed trail at roadway crossings at the
Chicory Road Loop. The proposed trail alignment
would be located on an existing levee, on existing
public roadways, and in open space areas, and
would be compatible with surrounding land uses.

As such, the proposed project would not result in
hazards due to incompatible uses (e.g., farm
equipment). Therefore, the proposed project would
result in a less than significant impact related to
hazards associated with a design feature or
incompatible uses.

The proposed project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified
erosion or sedimentation impacts nor result in new
impacts associated with traffic hazards.

Significance Criterion TRA4: Disruption of Alternative Transportation Modes as a
Result of Temporary Road
Closures
Impact TRA-3: The approved project
identified less than significant impacts
to the disruption of alternative modes
of transportation due to road closures.

Construction of the approved project
would include Temporary Road closures
along South River Road, Linden Road,
Gregory Avenue, and Burrows Avenue
adjacent to the project sites. Closure of
these roadways could interfere with
bicycle travel along these roads.

Implementation of the traffic control
and road maintenance plan would
minimize construction-related traffic
conflicts with bicycle travel. (Please
refer to Section 3.4.3.6 for more detail.)
No mitigation
required.

The proposed project would not result in any
temporary or permanent road closures and would
not result in the disruption of alternative modes of
transportation. Additionally, the proposed project
would be consistent with the City of West
Sacramento General Plan, the Bicycle, Pedestrian,
and Trails Master Plan (BPTMP), and the City of
West Sacramento Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Master Plan (PROSMP) policies that promote
alternative transportation modes. Therefore, the
proposed project would not conflict with a program
plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation
system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and
pedestrian facilities.

increase the severity of the previously identified
impacts associated with road closures nor result in

TRA-6: Permanent Changes
in Circulation Patterns
The approved project identified that
implementation of the approved project
would result in less than significant
impacts to permutants changes to
circulation patterns. Implementation of
the approved project would realign
South River Road to join with Village
Parkway at the north end of the project
area and would continue along the
reserved right-of-way of the planned
Village Parkway extension. The new
road would be two lanes and would be
designed to meet traffic demands for
both South River Road and the existing
Village Parkway. The road would
maintain the reserved right-of-way for
the planned Village Parkway and allow
expansion to meet future circulation
needs. (Please refer to Section 3.4.3.6
for more detail.)
No mitigation
required.

Implementation of the proposed project would not
significantly alter public roadways; however, it
would improve safety by enhancing connections to
the trail at roadway crossings at Chicory Road Loop.

These improvements would consist of crosswalks
and associated traffic signage (for both trail users
and roadway users). The proposed trail alignment
would be located on an existing levee, the same
location as the approved project, on existing public
roadways, and in open space areas. Additionally,
the proposed project would not construct a new
roadway or realign any existing roadways. The
project would be consistent with the City of West
Sacramento General Plan, BPTMP, and PROSMP
policies that promote alternative transportation
modes. Therefore, the proposed project would not

other ambient air quality standards.

While the approved project determined its
consistency based on the 2035 Metropolitan
Transportation Plan, this plan is no longer
applicable to the proposed project. The applicable
air quality plan for the proposed project is the 2017
Sacramento Regional 2008 8-Hour Ozone and
Further Reasonable Progress Plan (2017 Ozone
Plan). The 2017 Ozone Plan contains emissions
inventories based on existing and foreseeable
future land uses within its jurisdiction. If a new
project is consistent with the planned land use
designation that was considered in the
development of an air quality management plan,
the proposed project would not conflict and would
not obstruct implementation of the applicable air
quality management plan.

The proposed project involves the construction of a
recreational trail and associated improvements
along an existing levee alignment from the northern
terminus at South River Road and Stonegate Drive
south to the southern terminus at South River
Road. The proposed trail would not conflict with
the City of West Sacramento General Plan land use
plan designations or zoning. In addition, as
discussed below, the proposed project would not
generate emissions that would exceed YSAQMD
thresholds.

Therefore, the proposed project would not
substantially increase the severity of the previously
identified air quality impacts nor result in new
significant impacts.

Handbook, even projects not exceeding district
thresholds should implement best management
practices to reduce fugitive dust emissions and avoid
localized health impacts. Common measures include
watering, chemical stabilization of soils or stockpiles, and reducing surface wind speeds with windbreaks.

As such, implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR1, would ensure compliance with YSAQMD recommended best management practices for
fugitive dust control and would reduce impacts to

Operational Emissions. Long-term air emission
impacts are associated with stationary sources and
mobile sources. The project would not result in a
substantial increase in the generation of operational

Significance Criterion AIR-6:

Impact AIR-6: The approved project
identified that the exposure of sensitive
receptors to substantial diesel
particulate matter concentrations
would result in less than significant
impacts with mitigation incorporated.
(Please refer to Section 3.5.3.6 for more
detail.)
Construction of the approved project
would result in short-term diesel
particulate emissions (DPM) from onsite heavy-duty equipment and on-road haul trucks. Nearby land uses, especially
those residences located downwind of
the project sites, could be exposed to
DPM generated during construction
activities, resulting in potential adverse
health effects. However, construction
activities along each levee segment are
not expected to take place for more
than 2 years, which is well below the
70-year exposure period often assumed
in chronic health risk assessment.

Moreover, sensitive receptors are not
located in proximity to the construction
area, construction activities would
occur linearly along the segment
alignment and would not occur over a
prolonged period in any one general
location, and all off-road diesel
equipment would comply with

Similar to the approved project, the proposed
project may expose nearby sensitive receptors to
airborne particulates, as well as a small quantity of
construction equipment pollutants (i.e., usually
diesel-fueled vehicles and equipment). However,
construction contractors would be required to
implement construction fugitive dust impacts, as
required by Mitigation Measure AIR-1.

Once the project is constructed, the project would
not be a source of substantial emissions. Therefore,
sensitive receptors are not expected to be exposed
to substantial pollutant concentrations during
project construction or operation, and potential
impacts would be considered less than significant.

The proposed project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified air
quality impacts nor result in new significant
impacts. With implementation of Mitigation

Significance Criterion AIR-7:

Create Objectionable Odors
Affecting a Substantial
Number of People
Impact AIR-7: The approved project
identified that construction of the
approved project would result in less
than significant impacts with
mitigation incorporated to objectional
odors. Construction of the approved
project would generate odors
associated with diesel exhaust
emissions from onsite construction
equipment in the Sacramento Valley Air
Basin (SVAB). These odors may be
noticeable from time to time by
adjacent receptors. However, the odors
would be intermittent and temporary
and would dissipate rapidly from the
source with an increase in distance.

Furthermore, as required by CARB
regulation, no in-use off-road diesel
vehicles may idle for more than 5
consecutive minutes. Therefore, with
implementation of Mitigation
Measures AIR-MM-1 and AIR- MM-3,
this impact would be less than
significant. (Please refer to Section

Similar to the approved project, the proposed
project would result in diesel exhaust from

be temporary and would not persist upon
construction completion.

Once operational, the proposed project would not
include any sources of odor emissions; therefore,
operation of the proposed project would not
generate any odor impacts. The proposed project
would not result in other emissions (such as those
leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial

That May Have a Significant
Effect on the Environment
Impact CC-1: The approved project
identified that impacts related to the

emissions would be less than significant
with mitigation incorporated.

According to the approved project, the
YSAQMD, SMAQMD, and BAAQMD
have not formally adopted GHG
thresholds for construction
construction-related emissions.

Construction of the approved project
would generate construction emission
including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane
(CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and other
GHG emissions; however, project-wide
emissions would be below the
BAAQMD’s GHG threshold of 10,000
metric tons (MT) of carbon dioxide
equivalent (CO2e). While construction
emissions would be below the GHG
threshold, implementation of
Mitigation Measure CC-MM-1 would
further reduce GHG emissions during
construction. (Please refer to Section

Similar to the approved project, construction of the
proposed project would emit GHGs through the
operation of construction equipment and from
worker vehicles, each of which typically uses fossilbased fuels to operate.

Although the proposed project would involve
additional construction activities to construct a
paved multi-use trail with associated trail
improvements, this additional construction is not
anticipated to result in significant GHG impacts.

According to the CalEEMod for the proposed
project, it is estimated that construction of the
proposed project would generate approximately
645.8 metric tons of CO2e, which is below the
YSAQMD threshold (refer to Attachment B).

Therefore, project construction impacts associated

would support the ability to use alternative modes
of transportation, promote initiatives to reduce
vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled, and
increase the use of alternate means of
transportation, which would help reduce GHG
emissions. The proposed project would implement
appropriate GHG reduction strategies and would

Significance Criterion NOI-3:

Exposure of Sensitive
Receptors to Traffic Noise
from the Extension of
Village Parkway
Impact NOI-3: The approved project
identified that impacts to sensitive
receptors related to traffic noise would
be less than significant with mitigation
incorporated. The approved project
would include an extension of Village
Parkway, which was previously planned
under the Southport Framework Plan.

This extension would directly expose
land uses within approximately 100 feet
of the roadway to traffic noise that
exceeds 60 Ldn. Residences located
within this distance would be therefore
directly exposed to a significant noise
impact. Mitigation Measure M.M. 4-8.1
would reduce this effect to a less than
significant level. (Please refer to Section

While the proposed project would not include any

commutes, including the transport of construction
equipment and materials to the proposed project
site.

Additionally, since the approved project has already
been constructed, the extension of Village Parkway
is already considered in the existing noise
environment of the proposed project.

As the proposed project would be located on the
same site as the approved project, implementation
of the proposed project would result in similar
construction traffic noise impacts as the approved
project. Therefore, implementation of Mitigation
Measures NOI-1 through NOI-9 as identified by the
proposed project would reduce any impacts to less

of Mitigation Measures VEG-MM-1,
VEG-MM-2, VEG-MM-3, and VEG-MM4 would reduce the level of permanent impacts, due to the length of time
required for newly planted trees to

approximately 17.31 acres of
cottonwood riparian woodland, 1.57
acres of valley oak riparian woodland,

2.56 acres of walnut riparian woodland,
and 9.15 acres of riparian scrub.

Additionally, the existing Sacramento
River levee would be mostly retained
with the exception of the five breach
locations. The riparian habitat between
the breaches would be removed where
grading and levee degradation are
necessary. In addition, riparian habitat
would be removed at the erosion repair

avoid impacts to riparian habitat, and no riparian
trees or woody vegetation would be impacted. All
within the work within the proposed project would
be limited to the top of the levee and the inland
side of the levee (e.g., for pedestrian access ramps)
outside of the existing riparian habitat. However,
project construction activities adjacent to the
riparian area have the potential to result in
inadvertent disturbance during construction.

Implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1
would reduce potential impacts to riparian habitat
to less than significant.

Therefore, implementation of Mitigation Measure

Ground-disturbing activities during
construction of the approved project
would increase the potential for erosion
and discharge of fine sediment into the
Sacramento River, potentially affecting
sensitive fish and aquatic habitat.

Therefore, in-water construction
activities during this period could have
significant adverse effects on specialstatus species. However, with implementation of the SWPPP to
control erosion and sedimentation,
turbidity monitoring in adjacent water
bodies and Mitigation Measure FISHMM-1, these effects would be reduced to a less than significant level. (Please
refer to Section 3.9.3.6 for more detail.)
While the
approved project
prescribed
Mitigation
Measure Fish-MM1, this mitigation
measure is not
applicable to the
proposed project.

Although the proposed project would result in
additional construction of trail improvements, only
minor grading would be required for site
preparation and ground disturbance associated
with paving the trail, parking and associated ramps.

The proposed project has been designed to fully
avoid impacts to riparian habitat, and no riparian
trees or woody vegetation would be impacted. All
work would be limited to the top of the levee and
the inland side of the levee (e.g., for pedestrian
access ramps), outside of the existing riparian
habitat.

Further, as discussed in Impact WQ-2, the proposed
project would be required to comply with RCM
HYD-1 and RCM HYD-2, which would require the
preparation of a SWPPP and implementation of an
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, similar to the
approved project. Additionally, project construction
activities adjacent to the riparian area have the
potential to result in inadvertent disturbance during
construction. Implementation of Mitigation
Measure BIO-1 would reduce potential impacts to
riparian habitat to less than significant.

As such the revised project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified
disturbance impacts nor result in new significant
impacts. With adherence to applicable regulatory
requirements, there would be no new or
substantially more severe significant impacts
related to GHG emissions

Impact LU-2: The approved project
identified that the impacts associated
with changes to land uses and conflicts
with land use designations would be
significant. As the project's footprint is
necessary to implement effective flood
risk-reduction measures, these impacts
cannot be mitigated. Therefore, this
impact would be significant and
unavoidable.

Implementation of the proposed project
could require WSAFCA to acquire a
permanent right-of-way adjacent to the
levee through fee title or easement to
prevent residential or utility
encroachments and accommodate an
expanded levee footprint. This
expansion, including the setback levee
at Bees Lake, would conflict with
existing land use designations for park,
residential, and mixed-use under the
Southport Framework Plan. Although
the existing levee is designated as open
space, and the project aligns with the
agriculture-cluster designation allowing
public uses, the new levee and
associated lands may need to be
designated as either open space or
public/quasi-public if the City amends
the plan.

Additionally, the approved project could

The proposed project would construct
approximately 5.9 miles of new non-motorized
multi-use recreational trail on top of the existing
levee alignment of the approved project. While the
proposed project would be implemented in the
same vicinity as the approved project, the approved
project was certified in 2014. Since the approval of
the approved project, many of the applicable
policies and regulations have been updated. As
such, the applicable planning policies and
regulations for the proposed project include the
City of West Sacramento General Plan; the City of
West Sacramento Municipal Code; the City of West
Sacramento Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Master
Plan; and the City of West Sacramento Parks,
Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan.

City of West Sacramento General Plan. The City of
West Sacramento General Plan Land Use Map
designates the project site as Open Space (OS). This
designation provides for natural open space areas
where public ownership, easements, or other
entitlements provide a public purpose. The City has
set aside open space areas along the Sacramento
River and Port of Sacramento Deep Water Ship
Channel to preserve open areas near these water
ways. The proposed project would develop a 5.9-

providing and expanding and equitable distribution
of recreational facilities and opportunities to West
Sacramento residents and stakeholders. The
PROSMP has identified trails/ recreation corridors
such as the project area, which are designated open
space along the Sacramento River to connect
people and places while serving as active
transportation facilities. Therefore, the proposed
multi-use trail would directly support the PROSMP.

Generally, the proposed project would directly
support applicable plans and policies. These plans
contain goals and policies, which support a multimodal transportation system to encourage walking and bicycling as an alternative to automobile use.

Additional relevant policies relate to the protection
of natural resources, water quality, and provision of
public services. As such, the proposed project
would be consistent with all the relevant
regulations and policies contained in the approved
project. Therefore, implementation of the proposed
project would result in less than significant
impacts.

Therefore, the proposed project would not
substantially increase the severity of the previously
identified impacts associated with land use changes
or land use conflicts nor would it result in new
significant impacts. Therefore, there would be no
new or substantially more severe significant
impacts.

Impact LU-3: The approved project
identified significant effects to the loss
of important farmland. While GEO-MM1, LU-MM-1, and LU-MM-2 would reduce the intensity of effect, these
effects would still be significant and
unavoidable. (Please refer to Section

3.11.3.6 for more detail.)
The approved project identified several
areas designated as important
farmland, all located in the Southport
area of the City. The project area
encompasses approximately 500 acres
of prime farmland, primarily located
west of Bees Lake along the Sacramento
River, near Jefferson Boulevard north of
the South Cross Levee, and in
unincorporated areas at the southern
end of the project. Additionally, there is
less than 1 acre of unique farmland
located along the southern border near
the South Cross Levee and about 12
acres of farmland of statewide
importance in the unincorporated
region. The project also contains 611
acres of farmland classified as local
importance and 848 acres of farmland
with local potential.

While the
approved project
prescribed

these measures
are not applicable
to the proposed
project.

Although the proposed project is located in the
same location of the approved project, the
proposed project would be along the existing levee
alignment of the approved project. As such, the
majority of the proposed trail alignment is located
within land classified as “Other Land” with a small
portion designated as “Urban and Built-Up Land” by
the California Department of Conservation
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program
(FMMP).
8 Additionally, the California Department
of Conservation maps the project site as “Urban
and Built-Up Land” and “Other Land.” No portion of
the proposed trail would cross a parcel under a
Williamson Act contract. The trail alignment is
proposed on lands zoned for a variety of uses,
including residential and commercial uses, planned
development, civic space, and open space.

However, none of these areas is zoned for
agricultural use. Therefore, the proposed project
would not result in the conversion of Prime
Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance to a non-agricultural use, and
there would be no impact.

As such, the revised project would not substantially
increase the severity of the previously identified
impacts on agriculture and forestry resources nor

The construction of the approved
project would involve several staging
areas and temporary-access haul roads
developed on agricultural lands within
the project area. During construction,
land classified as important farmland in
these staging areas and haul roads may
be temporarily taken out of production
to facilitate preconstruction and
construction activities. However, these
areas would be restored to their pre-
project conditions, allowing agricultural
uses to resume once construction is
completed. Construction of the
approved project would lead to a
permanent loss of approximately 34
acres of prime farmland within the
construction footprint. Additionally, up
to 476 acres of prime farmland and 12
acres of farmland of statewide
importance in potential borrow areas
could be temporarily affected.

Furthermore, construction of the
approved project would result in a loss
of about $63,000 in agricultural
production value due to the permanent
conversion of agricultural lands in the
construction area, particularly between
the proposed setback levee and the
Sacramento River. While the
implementation of Mitigation
Measures GEO-MM-1, LU-MM-1, and
LU-MM-2 would aim to offset and
mitigate the conversion of prime
farmland, these measures do not
reduce the project's overall effects to a
less than significant level. Therefore,

Additionally, the proposed project includes goals
and policies to guide the development of the
proposed trail to ensure that the trail and
associated trail infrastructure preserve existing
scenic resources (e.g., limit impacts to riparian
vegetation, follow existing topography) and
enhance aesthetic appeal (i.e., provision of
interpretive signage). Although implementation of
the project could alter the visual character of the
project site through the provision of the trail and
associated trail facilities, implementation of the
proposed project would overall have a beneficial

The approved project would be serviced
by the following electrical and utility
purveyors:

Electricity and Gas. Electric and natural
gas services in West Sacramento are
provided by Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E), which operates a 12
kilovolt (kV) electrical distribution line
along South River Road. Additionally,
the Sacramento Municipal Utility
District manages a similar 12 kV line for
the Sacramento Regional County
Sanitation District (SRCSD) sewer pump
station. Chevron operates an 8-inch
petroleum underground pipeline
parallel to South River Road.

While the

Wastewater. The City is responsible for
collection and treatment of wastewater
within the community. The wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) on South River
Road, which would service the
approved project site, has a treatment
capacity of 7.5 million gallons per day.

Wastewater would be transported
through a network of collector lines and
pump stations, with two operating
pump stations serving different areas in
Southport. The Sacramento Regional
County Sanitation District manages a
120-inch gravity sewer interceptor
pipeline running through the project
area.

Implementation of the approved project
would require modifications to
domestic water supply, irrigation, and
drainage infrastructure. Construction
could result in the need to temporarily
take individual water supply and
drainage infrastructure elements out of
service for short periods, anticipated to
last no longer than 4 hours at a time.

Because the approved project has the

Significance Criterion UTL-2:

Decrease in Domestic and
Irrigation Water Supply
Impact UTL-2: The approved project
identified that impacts to domestic
water supply would be less than
significant with mitigation
incorporated.

Implementation of the project,
particularly the construction of slurry
cutoff walls, would result in a
combination of lower static and
pumping groundwater levels on the
landside of the cutoff walls during most
periods. Additionally, wells could
experience reduced pumping capacities
due to a combination of lower static
water levels and increased drawdown.

As discussed in the approved project,
some levee segments would experience
slightly reduced capacities because of
generally lower water levels caused by
the cutoff wall. In almost all cases, wells
could continue to pump enough water
to meet existing demands, but some
well owners may experience slightly
increased pumping costs.

Implementation of Mitigation Measure
UTL-MM-2 would reduce this impact to
a less than significant level. (Please
refer to Section 3.14.3.6 for more
detail.)
While the
approved project
prescribed
Mitigation
Measure UTL-MM2, this measure
would not be
applicable to the
proposed project.

The proposed project would be located atop the
existing levee of the approved project. Although,
construction of the proposed project would
temporarily require small amounts of water for
cleanup activities, water would be provided via a
water truck as no utility lines exist along the
majority of the proposed trail alignment. The use of
water would cease when construction is complete.

Sufficient water supplies are available to provide for
the project’s minimal water needs during the
construction phase of the project. Water would not
be required for long-term operation of the project
as no potable or non-potable water facilities are
proposed. Additionally, the proposed project would
not include any major levee modification that
would cause a decrease in water supply.

Therefore, the proposed project would not

All three sites, as listed above, are designated as
“Completed—Case Closed.” A closed site indicates
that regulatory requirements for response actions,
such as site assessment and remediation, have
either been completed or were not necessary and
therefore potential migration of residual
contaminants in groundwater beneath the project
site (if any) does not likely pose a risk to human
health and the environment. Therefore, no
significant hazard to the public or environment
would be associated with these listed sites.

As such, the proposed project would not
substantially increase the severity of the previously
identified impacts associated with the exposure of
hazardous materials on the project site nor result in
new significant impacts.

Significance Criterion HAZ3: Safety Hazards from the

Significance Criterion HAZ4: Exposure of People or
Structures to Flood RiskRelated Hazards
Impact HAZ-4: The approved project
identified that implementation of the
proposed project would not expose
people or structures flood risk and there
would be no impact.

According to the approved project,
levees have the potential to fail,
regardless of design. Under the
approved project, the existing levee
would be modified using methods that
meet engineering requirements set
forth by the approved project and the
WSAFCA, USACE and the Central Valley
Flood Protection Board (CVFPB). In
addition, the approved project would

The proposed project would be located on top of
the approved project site and would only include
minor modifications to the top of the levee such as
construction of a recreational trail, signage, and
other and associated improvements. The proposed
project would be location on the crown of the
exiting levee with elevations ranging from 34 and

According to the approved project, a
total of 31 properties containing
buildings or structures at least 50 years
old were identified in the study area.

This includes 27 residential properties,
two remnants of railroad bridges linked
to the Sacramento Northern Railway, a

5.6-mile segment of the Sacramento
River Levee, and several docking
structures along the levee. However,
field surveys indicated that the segment
of the Sacramento Northern Railway no
longer exists, having been replaced by a
public trail, which led to its exclusion
from the survey population.

The only resource identified as eligible
for the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP) and the California
Register of Historical Resources (CRHR)
is the 5.6-mile segment of the
Sacramento River Levee. The portion of
Sacramento River Levee in the study

was not required because the entire APE (Area of
Potential Effects) sits on historical or modern fill,
and there is no potential for in situ archaeological
resources to be identified on the existing ground
surface within the APE.

Due to the proximity of the project area to the
County line, the records search study area radius
includes portions of two counties (Sacramento and
Yolo) and therefore separate records searches were
required at the North Central Information Center
(NCIC for Sacramento County) and the Information
Center (NWIC for Yolo County). In April 2023, the
cultural resources records searches were conducted
for the project area by staff at the respective
information centers. The records searches included
a review of all recorded historic and prehistoric
archaeological sites within 0.25-mile of the project,
as well as a review of cultural resource reports on
file.

Results from the NCIC indicate 33 cultural resources
studies were previously conducted in Sacramento
County within a 0.25-mile of the proposed project
area (the project area itself is located across the
County line, entirely within Yolo County, on the
opposite side of the Sacramento River). Thirteen
cultural resources have been recorded within a

0.25-mile radius. These consist of prehistoric
habitation (P-34-000055 and P-34-000057) and

area). Twenty-five cultural resources have been
recorded within a 0.25-mile radius of the project; 5
of these overlap the proposed project area and are
listed in Table E. It should be emphasized that, on
the ground, most of these 5 overlapping resources
do not actually physically touch the project area:
the project area sits on top of constructed levee
and consequentially is elevated above recorded
resources on the surrounding floodplain that
extend below the levee (see Table E). The

levee segment in the APE was built at the same
time using the same methods and materials in the
previously recorded segments of this levee. On
February 24, 2021, Office of Historic Preservation

The proposed improvements as described above
would result in direct physical changes to features
along this total 5.9-mile segment of earthen levee
within the APE. However, the undertaking would
result in no adverse effect to either the Port Levee
South or Sacramento River West Levee segments in
the APE, as the project improvements would occur
at ground level and in areas subsequently modified
after the close of their respective periods of
significance. These levees would retain the aspects
of integrity that allow them to convey their historic
significance.

As such, the proposed project would not
substantially increase the severity of the previously

Because the entire APE sits on historical or modern
fill, there is no potential for in situ archaeological
resources to be identified on the existing ground
surface within the APE. The proposed project, as
designed, will not extend into undisturbed soil
anywhere due to its location on modern or
historical fill (i.e., the constructed levees and
railroad grade) and the anticipated minimal depths
of ground disturbance (14 inches below ground
surface) associated with proposed construction.

However, it is possible that relocated archaeological
materials may be present if these materials were
part of the sediments used to construct the extant
levees and railroad grade.

applicable to the
proposed project.

As stated above in Impact CUL-2, although there is
low sensitivity for in situ archaeological resources
within the APE, the area surrounding the APE is
highly sensitive as indicated by previously recorded
archaeological sites. These sites include a large precontact site (P-57-001455) on the floodplain below and adjacent to the APE, as well as other precontact and multi-component sites (P-57-001291, P-57-001396, P-57-001397, P-57-000107) are
located in the vicinity of the APE.

Measures
potential for buried human remains to
be unearthed during ground-disturbing
activities is considered high and the
disturbance of any human remains is
considered a significant direct effect.
(Please refer to Section 3.16.3.6 for
more detail.)
Therefore, implementation of Mitigation Measures
CUL-1 through CUL-4, as identified in the proposed
project, which include archaeological monitoring
during ground-disturbing activities, Worker’s
Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP)
training, and protocols for inadvertent discoveries
of archaeological deposits or human remains,
would ensure that any potential impacts are
reduced to a less-than-significant level. As such, the
proposed project would not substantially increase
the severity of previously identified impacts
associated with the disturbance of human remains,
nor would it result in new significant impacts.

CONCLUSION
On the basis of the evaluation presented above, the proposed project, if implemented, would not trigger any of the conditions listed under the CEQA Framework for Addendum section of this Addendum, requiring preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. Thus, this Addendum satisfies the requirements of State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164. The modifications to the approved project’s existing setback, including the construction of a paved 5.9-mile multi-use trail and associated improvements, would not introduce new significant environmental effects, substantially increase the severity of previously identified significant environmental effects, or demonstrate that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible. The proposed changes that would be implemented as part of the proposed project would not alter the findings in the approved project. In addition, no change has occurred with respect to the circumstances surrounding the proposed project that would cause new or substantially more severe significant environmental effects than identified in the approved project, and no new information has become available that shows that the project would cause significant environmental effects not already analyzed in the approved project. Therefore, no further environmental review is required beyond this Addendum to the approved project.
