SUBJECT: Small Business Saturday Proclamation
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council proclaim Saturday, November 26, 2022 as "Small Business Saturday" in Woodland
Staff Contact:
Stephanie Burgos, Business Engagement and Marketing Specialist, [email protected]
Background:
Woodland’s small businesses continue to build community pride and contribute to the local economy despite a challenging ongoing public health situation. Previous City Councils have declared the Saturday following Thanksgiving as “Small Business Saturday” as part of a nationwide campaign to "shop small and eat local." This year presents another opportunity to recognize and support our local businesses.
Discussion:
The City of Woodland is particularly well-positioned to recognize our small businesses because they represent such an important part of our community. For instance:
More than 80% of Woodland businesses have ten or fewer employees More than 60% of Woodland businesses have five or fewer employees Many of Woodland’s restaurants are independently-owned small businesses and feature diverse cuisines representing nearly fifteen countries.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council proclaim Saturday, November 26, 2022 as "Small Business Saturday" in Woodland

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 15, 2022
ITEM #: H.9
SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance relating to Appointment, Removal, and Duties of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1696, amending Chapter 2.08 (Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore of Title 2 (Administration) of the City of Woodland Municipal Code relating to Appointment, Removal, and duties of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore.
Staff Contact
Ken Hiatt, City Manager – (530) 661-5802, [email protected]
Background
At the May 18, 2021 City Council meeting, Council introduced and waived the first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 2.08 (Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore of Title 2 (Administration) of the City of Woodland Municipal Code relating to Appointment, Removal, and duties of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore. Due to an administrative oversight, the second reading and adoption of the ordinance did not come back to the Council. There is no statutory time limit by which the ordinance must be adopted. The only legal requirements for ordinances are that they be adopted at least 5 days after introduction and must be adopted at a regular meeting or an adjourned regular meeting.
Discussion
Chapter 2.08 of the Municipal Code prescribes the process for appointment of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore. As written, staff feels the language provides the Council the flexibility to order the rotation as they choose. However, the Council approved the incorporation of language to help clarify the Council's original intent for the rotation to provide each Council Member the opportunity to serve as Mayor. Additionally, with amendments to the Municipal Code, Council adopted the attached Resolution establishing the intended Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore rotation through 2030, allowing two full rotations through the Districts. This rotation sequence built off the prior appointments and avoids a situation where a council member would not be able to serve as Mayor during their term or be in line to serve as Mayor in their first year of office.
The following highlights the changes to the language in the Ordinance that were introduced and first reading waived at the May 18, 2021 meeting and are being recommended for adoption.
A. Title 2 (Administration), Chapter 2.08 (Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore), Section 2.08.010.
Section 2.08.010 is hereby amended to read as follows (deletions are made in strikethrough, additions are made in underline):
2.08.010 Appointment and removal.
A.During the first City Council meeting following the certification of election results after any general municipal City election at which Council members are elected and during the first City Council meeting in December of every odd year beginning in 2017, the City Council shall meet and designate its
presiding officer who shall have the title of Mayor. The Council member who served as Mayor Pro Tempore in accordance with Section 2.08.030 immediately prior to this meeting shall be designated as Mayor. The Mayor shall serve a term of one year.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 15, 2022
ITEM #: H.10
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Fleet Services Oil & Gas operating budget and Cooperative Fuel Services Agreement with Interstate Oil
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to:
1) augment the existing cooperative Fuel Services Agreement with Interstate Oil by $300,000 for a 3 year total Not To Exceed amount of $1,500,000 through June 30, 2023; and 2) increase appropriations to the Equipment Services Fund budget by $300,000; and 3) increase appropriations to the funds listed in Exhibit A to provide revenue to the Equipment Service Fund.
Staff Contact:
Reece Ulrich, Fleet & Facilities Manager, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The City has previously encumbered $400,000 for FY 2023, and staff anticipates that an additional $300,000 will be necessary to meet the City's fuel needs through June 2023. If the City Council approves this resolution, the total 3-year contract amount will increase to $1,500,000. Any unused portion of this year's total $700,000 encumbrance will be returned to the Equipment Services Fund at the end of FY 2023.
Background:
The City’s previous contract with Interstate Oil ended in June 2020. The City entered into a cooperative purchasing bid with Yolo County for fuel services in the spring of 2020. The Yolo County Purchasing Office was the primary coordinator throughout the bidding process. Two proposals were received and Interstate Oil won the bid. The contract and associated budget were based on the cost of fuel at the time ($3.22) and the previous year’s fuel consumption.
Discussion:
The City’s contract with Interstate Oil provides discounted fuel for City vehicles at the Pacific Pride locations in Woodland. Typically, a gallon of fuel costs about $0.30 less for City vehicles filled at Pacific Pride than fuel purchased at retail outlets. The prices are adjusted weekly.
Pacific Pride stations are fully automated, with City staff filling City vehicles using a unique fuel card. The driver also enters their identification number and the vehicle mileage, so all information pertaining to vehicle fuel usage is kept in a single location. This simplifies the tracking and auditing these expenditures. In the 2+ years since the contract was entered into, fuel prices have nearly doubled and vehicle usage has increased notably with post-pandemic projects in full-swing. These changes in conditions have resulted in this request for additional funds.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to:
1) augment the existing cooperative Fuel Services Agreement with Interstate Oil by $300,000 for a 3 year total Not To Exceed amount of $1,500,000 through June 30, 2023; 2) increase appropriations to the Equipment Services Fund budget by $300,000; and 3) increase appropriations to the funds listed in Exhibit A to provide revenue to the Equipment Service Fund.

AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 15, 2022
ITEM #: H.11
SUBJECT: Second Amendment to the CDBG/HOME Loan Agreement with the Leisureville Community Association, Inc. and Subordination Agreement with Sabal Capital II, LLC
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, (1) approving the Second Amendment to the CDBG/HOME Loan Agreement with the Leisureville Community Association, Inc., to defer repayment of the loan until July 1, 2033, (2) approving a Subordination Agreement with Sabal Capital II, LLC to subordinate the deed of trust and regulatory agreement for the CDBG/HOME Loan to a new senior loan to provide funding for water and wastewater infrastructure improvements to the Leisureville mobile home development, and (3) authorize the City Manager to execute all agreements and documents necessary for the subordination and the changes to the City loan agreement with Leisureville.
Staff Contact:
Dagoberto Fierros, Housing Analyst II – 530-661-2019, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed Second Amendment will not result in a fiscal impact, but deferring repayment of Leisureville’s loan to July 1, 2033 will delay the availability of the loan funds for other affordable housing purposes.
Background:
The City in 1995 provided a $1,227,381 HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)/Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) housing loan to assist Leisureville, a non-profit owner cooperative, with the purchase of the 150-unit senior citizen Leisureville development located at 1313 East Gibson Road and provided funding for a loan share program which benefits low-income households purchasing membership in the owners’ cooperative. Repayment of the loan is deferred for 30 years and the loan agreement includes a residual receipts provision requiring Leisureville to make a payment when a profit is generated from the development. To date, the City has received approximately $7,000 in residual receipts payments. Along with the loan agreement, the City executed a promissory note, deed of trust, and regulatory agreement. The regulatory agreement requires that at least 76 of the 150 housing units be occupied by lower income households. When a new senior citizen household submits an application to reside at Leisureville, City staff prepares an income determination based on a review of the household’s income and asset documents. If the household is found to be low income consistent with current Federal income limits for Yolo County, the household is eligible for the CDBG loan share program to cover the cost of the association purchase and can be counted as a low income household.
Discussion:
Constructed in 1976, Leisureville is responsible for the maintenance of their streets, sewer, and water infrastructure. Most recently, Leisureville has had to tap their capital reserves to replace sewer laterals that service individual housing units (coaches) and repair breaks to sewer mains. In 2020, Leisureville incurred $11,913.77 in combined sewer and water repair expenses, but these expenses increased to $102,275 in 2021. This year, to date, the expense has been $30,351. Challenges for the water system include leaks and the lack of meters for individual water services which complicates Leisureville’s efforts to minimize water usage.
Efforts to rehabilitate Leisureville’s sewer system will require work on the water system because water leaks may undermine the integrity of the sewer system infrastructure. While Leisureville has reserves (capital and
operating) of nearly $727,602.43, there is a risk that the deterioration of Leisureville’s wastewater and water infrastructure will worsen and capital reserves will be exhausted. To address this situation, Leisureville’s board of directors have worked with their management agent, TRI Commercial, to explore refinance options in order to pay off their existing principal loan and finance the rehabilitation of their wastewater and water infrastructure.
TRI Commercial has relationships with a number of residential lenders as it has assisted its clients, primarily investor-owned apartment complexes and mobile home parks, obtain refinancing. Leisureville presents a unique challenge because of its non-profit status with a cooperative ownership structure. Initially, TRI Commercial on Leisureville’s behalf contacted the current principal lender. While the lender discussed refinancing that would enable Leisureville to rehabilitate its sewer and water systems, the lender subsequently declined to offer a loan. A regional lender from the Sacramento area with some experience in working with nonprofits and affordable housing was also approached, but these efforts did not progress. A third lender, Sabal Capital II, has agreed to refinancing which will enable Leisureville to pay off its existing principal loan and provide loan proceeds of approximately $3,967,000 that will be used by Leisureville to provide much needed rehabilitation to its sewer and water systems.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, (1) approving the Second Amendment to the CDBG/HOME Loan Agreement with the Leisureville Community Association, Inc., to defer repayment of the loan until July 1, 2033, (2) approving a Subordination Agreement with Sabal Capital II, LLC to subordinate the deed of trust and regulatory agreement for the CDBG/HOME Loan to a new senior loan to provide funding for water and wastewater infrastructure improvements to the Leisureville mobile home development, and (3) authorize the City Manager to execute all agreements and documents necessary for the subordination and the changes to the City loan agreement with Leisureville.

Senior Lender will apply any payment, asset, or property so received from Subordinate Lender to the Senior Indebtedness in such order, amount (with respect to any asset or property other than immediately available funds), and manner as Senior Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion.
(e) Bankruptcy. Without the prior written consent of Senior Lender, Subordinate Lender will not commence, or join with any other creditor in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceeding. In the event of a Bankruptcy Proceeding, Subordinate Lender will not vote affirmatively in favor of any plan of reorganization or liquidation unless Senior Lender has also voted affirmatively in favor of such plan.
4. Default Under Subordinate Loan Documents.
(a) Notice of Subordinate Loan Default and Cure Rights. (i) Subordinate Lender will deliver to Senior Lender a copy of each Notice delivered by Subordinate Lender pursuant to the Subordinate Loan Documents within 5 Business Days of sending such Notice to Borrower.
Neither giving nor failing to give a Notice to Senior Lender pursuant to this Section 4(a) will affect the validity of any Notice given by Subordinate Lender to Borrower.
(ii) For a period of 90 days following delivery to Senior Lender of an Enforcement Action Notice, Senior Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any Subordinate Mortgage Default. However, if such Subordinate Mortgage Default is a non-monetary default and is not capable of being cured within such 90-day period and Senior Lender has commenced and is diligently pursuing such cure to completion, Senior Lender will have such additional period of time as may be required to cure such Subordinate Mortgage Default or until such time, if ever, as Senior Lender takes either of the following actions:
(A) Discontinues its pursuit of any cure.
Subordination Agreement – Governmental Entity Page 8
(B) Delivers to Subordinate Lender Senior Lender’s written consent to the Enforcement Action described in the Enforcement Action Notice.
(iii) Senior Lender will not be subrogated to the rights of Subordinate Lender under the Subordinate Loan Documents as a result of Senior Lender having cured any Subordinate Mortgage Default.
(iv) Subordinate Lender acknowledges that all amounts advanced or expended by Senior Lender in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents or to cure a Subordinate Mortgage Default will be added to and become a part of the Senior Indebtedness and will be secured by the lien of the Senior Mortgage. (b) Subordinate Lender’s Exercise of Remedies After Notice to Senior Lender. (i) In the event of a Subordinate Mortgage Default, Subordinate Lender will not commence any Enforcement Action until 90 days after Subordinate Lender has delivered to Senior Lender an Enforcement Action Notice.
During such 90-day period or such longer period as provided in Section 4(a), Subordinate Lender will be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce covenants and agreements of Borrower relating to income, rent, or affordability restrictions contained in the Regulatory Agreement, subject to Senior Lender’s right to cure a Subordinate Mortgage Default set forth in Section 4(a).
(ii) Subordinate Lender may not commence any other Enforcement Action, including any foreclosure action under the Subordinate Loan Documents, until the earlier of:
(A) The expiration of such 90-day period or such longer period as provided in Section 4(a).
(B) The delivery by Senior Lender to Subordinate Lender of Senior Lender’s written consent to such Enforcement Action by
Subordinate Lender.
(iii) Subordinate Lender acknowledges that Senior Lender may grant or refuse consent to Subordinate Lender’s Enforcement Action in Senior Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. At the expiration of such 90-day period or such longer period as provided in Section 4(a) and, subject to Senior Lender’s right to cure set forth in Section 4(a), Subordinate Lender may commence any Enforcement Action.
(iv) Senior Lender may pursue all rights and remedies available to it under the Senior Loan Documents, at law, or in equity, regardless of any Enforcement Action Notice or Enforcement Action by Subordinate
Subordination Agreement – Governmental Entity Page 9
Lender. No action or failure to act on the part of Senior Lender in the event of a Subordinate Mortgage Default or commencement of an Enforcement Action will constitute a waiver on the part of Senior Lender of any provision of the Senior Loan Documents or this Agreement. (c) Cross Default. Subordinate Lender acknowledges that a Subordinate Mortgage Default constitutes a Senior Mortgage Default. Accordingly, upon the occurrence of a Subordinate Mortgage Default, Subordinate Lender will be deemed to have actual knowledge of a Senior Mortgage Default. If Subordinate Lender notifies Senior Lender in writing that any Subordinate Loan Default of which Senior Lender has received Notice has been cured or waived, as determined by Subordinate Lender in its sole discretion, then provided that Senior Lender has not conducted a sale of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to its rights under the Senior Loan Documents, any Senior Loan Default under the Senior Loan Documents arising solely from such Subordinate Loan Default will be deemed cured, and the Senior Loan will be reinstated.
5. Default Under Senior Loan Documents.
(a) Notice of Senior Loan Default and Cure Rights.
(i) Senior Lender will deliver to Subordinate Lender a copy of any Notice sent by Senior Lender to Borrower of a Senior Mortgage Default within 5 Business Days of sending such Notice to Borrower. Failure of Senior Lender to send Notice to Subordinate Lender will not prevent the exercise of Senior Lender’s rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents. (ii) Subordinate Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any monetary Senior Mortgage Default within 30 days following the date of such Notice. During such 30-day period Senior Lender will be entitled to continue to pursue its remedies under the Senior Loan Documents. (iii) Subordinate Lender may, within 90 days after the date of the Notice, cure a non-monetary Senior Mortgage Default if during such 90-day period, Subordinate Lender keeps current all payments required under the Senior Loan Documents. If such a non-monetary Senior Mortgage Default creates an unacceptable level of risk relative to the Mortgaged Property, or Senior Lender’s secured position relative to the Mortgaged Property, as determined by Senior Lender in its sole discretion, then during such 90-day period Senior Lender may exercise all available rights and remedies to protect and preserve the Mortgaged Property and the Rents, revenues and other proceeds from the Mortgaged Property.
(iv) All amounts paid by Subordinate Lender to Senior Lender to cure a Senior Mortgage Default will be deemed to have been advanced by Subordinate Lender pursuant to, and will be secured by the lien of, the Subordinate
Subordination Agreement – Governmental Entity Page 10
Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(a) to the contrary, Subordinate Lender’s right to cure any Senior Mortgage Default will terminate immediately upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Proceeding. (b) Release of Mortgaged Property.
(i) Subordinate Lender consents to and authorizes any future release by Senior Lender of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien, operation, and effect of the Senior Loan Documents. Subordinate Lender waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, all equitable or other rights it may have in connection with the release of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, including any right to require Senior Lender to do any of the following:
(A) To conduct a separate sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property.
(B) To exhaust its remedies against all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any combination of portions of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral for the Senior Indebtedness.
(C) To proceed against Borrower, any other party that may be liable for any of the Senior Indebtedness (including any general partner of Borrower if Borrower is a partnership), all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or combination of portions of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral, before proceeding against all or such portions or combination of portions of the Mortgaged Property as Senior Lender determines. Subordinate Lender waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any and all benefits under California Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849 and 2850.
(ii) Subordinate Lender consents to and authorizes, at the option of Senior Lender, the sale, either separately or together, of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Subordinate Lender acknowledges that without Notice to Subordinate Lender and without affecting any of the provisions of this Agreement, Senior Lender may do any of the following:
(A) Extend the time for or waive any payment or performance under the Senior Loan Documents.
(B) Modify or amend in any respect any provision of the Senior Loan Documents.
(C) Modify, exchange, surrender, release, and otherwise deal with any additional collateral for the Senior Indebtedness.
Subordination Agreement – Governmental Entity Page 11
(c) Termination Upon Foreclosure. The lien of the Subordinate Loan Documents will automatically terminate upon the acquisition by Senior Lender or by a third-party purchaser of title to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to a foreclosure of, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or trustee’s sale or other exercise of a power of sale or similar disposition under the Senior Mortgage.
6. Conflicts. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Subordinate Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement will control. Borrower acknowledges that the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not, and will not be deemed to do any of the following:
(a) Extend Borrower’s time to cure any Senior Loan Default or Subordinate Loan Default.
(b) Give Borrower the right to receive notice of any Senior Loan Default or Subordinate Loan Default, other than that, if any, provided, respectively under the Senior Loan Documents of the Subordinate Loan Documents. (c) Create any other right or benefit for Borrower as against Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender.
7. Rights and Obligations of Subordinate Lender Under the Subordinate Loan Documents and of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents. (a) Insurance.
(i) All requirements pertaining to insurance under the Subordinate Loan Documents (including requirements relating to amounts and types of coverages, deductibles and special endorsements) will be deemed satisfied if Borrower complies with the insurance requirements under the Senior Loan Documents and of Senior Lender.
(ii) All original policies of insurance required pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents will be held by Senior Lender.
(iii) Nothing in this Section 7(a) will preclude Subordinate Lender from requiring that it be named as a mortgagee and loss payee, as its interest may appear, under all policies of property damage insurance maintained by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property, provided such action does not affect the priority of payment of Loss Proceeds, or that Subordinate Lender be named as an additional insured under all policies of liability insurance maintained by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
(b) Condemnation or Casualty.
Subordination Agreement – Governmental Entity Page 12
In the event of a Condemnation or a Casualty, the following provisions will apply:
(i) The rights of Subordinate Lender (under the Subordinate Loan Documents or otherwise) to participate in any proceeding or action relating to a Condemnation or a Casualty, or to participate or join in any settlement of, or to adjust, any claims resulting from a Condemnation or a Casualty, will be and remain subordinate in all respects to Senior Lender’s rights under the Senior Loan Documents, and Subordinate Lender will be bound by any settlement or adjustment of a claim resulting from a Condemnation or a Casualty made by Senior Lender.
(ii) All Loss Proceeds will be applied either to payment of the costs and expenses of Restoration or to payment on account of the Senior Indebtedness, as and in the manner determined by Senior Lender in its sole discretion; provided however, Senior Lender agrees to consult with Subordinate Lender in determining the application of Casualty proceeds.
In the event of any disagreement between Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender over the application of Casualty proceeds, the decision of Senior Lender, in its sole discretion, will prevail.
(iii) If Senior Lender holds Loss Proceeds, or monitors the disbursement of Loss Proceeds, Subordinate Lender will not do so. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to require Senior Lender to act for or on behalf of Subordinate Lender in connection with any Restoration or to hold or monitor any Loss Proceeds in trust for or otherwise on behalf of Subordinate Lender, and all or any Loss Proceeds may be commingled with any funds of Senior Lender.
(iv) If Senior Lender elects to apply Loss Proceeds to payment on account of the Senior Indebtedness, and if the application of such Loss Proceeds results in the payment in full of the entire Senior Indebtedness, any remaining Loss Proceeds held by Senior Lender will be paid to Subordinate Lender unless another party has asserted a claim to the remaining Loss Proceeds.
(c) Modification of Subordinate Loan Documents. Subordinate Lender agrees that, until the principal of, interest on and all other amounts payable under the Senior Loan Documents have been paid in full, it will not, without the prior written consent of Senior Lender, increase the amount of the Subordinate Loan, increase the required payments due under the Subordinate Loan, decrease the term of the Subordinate Loan, increase the interest rate on the Subordinate Loan, or otherwise amend the Subordinate Loan terms in a manner that creates an adverse effect upon Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents. If Subordinate Lender either (i) amends the Subordinate Loan Documents in the manner set forth above or (ii) assigns the Subordinate Loan without Senior Lender’s consent then such amendment or assignment will be void ab initio and of no effect whatsoever.
Subordination Agreement – Governmental Entity Page 13
(d) Modification of Senior Loan Documents. Senior Lender may amend, waive, postpone, extend, renew, replace, reduce or otherwise modify any provisions of the Senior Loan Documents without the necessity of obtaining the consent of or providing Notice to Subordinate Lender, and without affecting any of the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Senior Lender may not modify any provision of the Senior Loan Documents that increases the Senior Indebtedness, except for increases in the Senior Indebtedness that result from advances made by Senior Lender to protect the security or lien priority of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents or to cure defaults under the Subordinate Loan Documents.
(e) Commercial or Retail Leases. If requested, Subordinate Lender will enter into attornment and non-disturbance agreements with all tenants under commercial or retail Leases, if any, to whom Senior Lender has granted attornment and non- disturbance, on the same terms and conditions given by Senior Lender. (f) Consent Rights. Whenever the Subordinate Loan Documents give Subordinate Lender approval or consent rights with respect to any matter, and a right of approval or consent for the same or substantially the same matter is also granted to Senior Lender pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or otherwise, Senior Lender’s approval or consent or failure to approve or consent will be binding on Subordinate Lender. None of the other provisions of Section 7 are intended to be in any way in limitation of the provisions of this Section 7(f). (g) Escrows. Except as provided in this Section 7(g), and regardless of any contrary provision in the Subordinate Loan Documents, Subordinate Lender will not collect any escrows for any cost or expense related to the Mortgaged Property or for any portion of the Subordinate Indebtedness. However, if Senior Lender is not collecting escrow payments for one or more Impositions, Subordinate Lender may collect escrow payments for such Impositions; provided that all payments so collected by Subordinate Lender will be held in trust by Subordinate Lender to be applied only to the payment of such Impositions.
(h) Certification. Within 10 days after request by Senior Lender, Subordinate Lender will furnish Senior Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified setting forth the then-current amount and terms of the Subordinate Indebtedness, confirming that there exists no default under the Subordinate Loan Documents (or describing any default that does exist), and certifying to such other information with respect to the Subordinate Indebtedness as Senior Lender may request.
8. Refinancing. Subordinate Lender agrees that its agreement to subordinate under this Agreement will extend to any new mortgage debt which is for the purpose of refinancing all or any part of the Senior Indebtedness (including reasonable and necessary costs associated with the closing and/or the refinancing, and any reasonable increase in proceeds for rehabilitation in the context of a preservation transaction). All terms and
Subordination Agreement – Governmental Entity Page 14
covenants of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of any holder of any such refinanced debt, and all references to the Senior Loan Documents and Senior Lender will mean, respectively, the refinance loan documents and the holder of such refinanced debt.
9. Governmental Powers. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor will it be construed, to in any way limit the exercise by Subordinate Lender of its governmental powers (including police, regulatory and taxing powers) with respect to Borrower or the Mortgaged Property to the same extent as if it were not a party to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
10. Notices.

AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 15, 2022
ITEM #: H.12
SUBJECT: Amendment #1 to the SLIF Reimbursement Agreement with Lennar Homes of California, LLC for Heidrick Ranch Phase 2 & 3 (SM4986)
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, approving Amendment #1 to the agreement regarding reimbursement of Spring Lake Specific Plan improvements for Subdivision #4986; and authorizing the City Manager to sign the Amendment on behalf of the City.
Staff Contact:
Ed Wisniewski, Senior Civil Engineer - (530) 661-5820, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
There is no impact to the City budget. All reimbursements/credits are handled through the Spring Lake Infrastructure Fee (SLIF) program.
Background:
On July 7, 2015, City Council approved final subdivision map 4986, Heidrick Ranch Phase 2 & 3, consisting of 99 single-family lots, and a Subdivision Improvement Agreement. At the same time, City Council approved a SLIF Reimbursement Agreement for SLIF eligible cost at a total estimated value of $1,888,278, and authorized a 15% contingency.
On April 2, 2019, the City Council accepted improvements for the subdivision. These improvements included certain SLIF funded backbone improvements. SLIF eligible improvements for this project included Farmer’s Central Road, Pioneer Avenue Widening, and Harry Lorenzo Ave (water & storm drain only) improvements within the project frontage limits.
Subsequent to acceptance of the improvements, Lennar Homes of California submitted documentation of their SLIF reimbursable expenses in the form of construction contracts, contractor invoices, and cancelled checks. The total cost actually expended by Lennar exceeds the amount listed in the original SLIF Agreement by more than the authorized contingency amount.
Discussion:
The SLIF reimbursement agreement states that the Developer will be reimbursed at actual costs pending submission of evidence of expenses related to SLIF eligible infrastructure. When the original agreement was drafted in 2015, the SLIF costs were based on estimated construction costs provided by the Developer’s engineer. The standard practice for a developer to obtain reimbursement involves reconciling their actual costs at the end of the project and amending the Reimbursement Agreement to document the final agreed upon costs. When the amount is greater than the contingency approved by council, the amendment returns to council. In this case, the SLIF reimbursable amount is being revised from $1,888,278 to $2,619,155.87.
There are several key reasons for the cost overruns of the original agreement amount. First, the original agreement incorrectly stated a 7% soft cost reimbursement. The standard protocol is to reimburse soft costs at 24% of construction costs. Second, the cost for concrete masonry walls was much more than originally estimated. Third, there were several errors in the original SLIF estimate where eligible items were left off the
estimate that should have been included, and vice versa. Finally, SLIF eligible change orders were valued at approx. $120,000. The final amount agreed upon by City staff and Lennar is the result of many months of scrutinizing documentation to reconcile the actual costs.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, approving Amendment #1 to the agreement regarding reimbursement of Spring Lake Specific Plan improvements for Subdivision #4986; and authorizing the City Manager to sign the Amendment on behalf of the City.

ITEM #: H.13
SUBJECT: Woodland Public Library Mobile Library
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing 1) the purchase of a customized Freightliner M2 Mobile Library for the Library Department for a total purchasing price of $649,951; and 2) Approve the bid award to Techops Specialty Vehicles; and 3) a budget appropriation of $375,835 from the Library Trust Fund (917) and $274,116 from Measure R Fund (102).
Staff Contact:
Greta Galindo, Library Services Manager,(530) 661-5980, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for the mobile library includes $121,000 in grant funds from the California State Library; $254,835 from the Priscilla H Gordon Trust bequeathed to the Woodland Public Library Board of Trustees, with the remaining balance of $274,116 from Measure R Fund (102).
There is no fiscal impact on staffing and operations of the mobile library beyond what has already been approved in the current year's budget.
Background:
The City of Woodland is 15.4 sq. miles with a single library location that is no longer centrally located for many residents. The Library seeks to provide library services to the community with a special emphasis on low-income and Latino residents of Woodland. A mobile library to visit residents that are not currently using the library to bring library services out to the community on a regular and consistent basis.
Built in 1903, the Woodland Public Library is the oldest operating Carnegie in California. The Library has undergone three additions, in 1915, 1929, and 1985. Today, the needs of the staff and community have far outpaced the capacity of the facility to meet those needs. A 2017 Facility Needs Assessment identified the necessity of an additional 18,000 sq ft of library space to adequately serve the community. However, increasing the size of the building is not the only way to provide services and doesn’t solve all the problems of access.
There is a need for a mobile library in Woodland. More than 40% of households in Woodland have zero or one vehicle at home which is used for transportation to and from work, leaving the rest of the household without personal transportation. In addition, three quarters of 4th grade students reading below grade level are economically disadvantaged, and over 20% of Woodland adults do not have a high school (or equivalent) education. There is a large need for families to receive information, literacy services, and job readiness training to improve their lives and those of their families. The English-speaking population in Woodland is 1.5 times the size of the Spanish-speaking population, but the English storytimes at the library have nearly 10 times as many participants as the Spanish. There is a large segment of our population that do not go into the library to participate in early literacy activities.
A mobile library will promote reading and literacy by bridging the gap between existing library users and those who do not currently visit the library. It will create new venues for access to library card registrations,
storytimes, circulating collections and other library services to parks, apartment buildings, neighborhoods, and events to expand the impact of our libraries on the community.
Discussion:
Woodland Public Library is dedicated to providing access to information and technology for all of the Woodland community. The mobile library will house a collection similar to the collection in the brick and mortar building. Including materials in both English and Spanish. The mobile library is particularly focused on bringing access to library programs and services to those who are unable to come to the main library. Mobile Library programming and outreach will be provided in English and Spanish.
The Woodland Public Library supports equity in access through our staffing model, our collection development standards, and our program standards.
The Woodland Public Library has the benefit of a portion of a voter approved 1/4 cent sales tax (Measure R) dedicated to youth services in the City of Woodland. This revenue has allowed us to increase staffing and programming at the library on a permanent basis. Support for the mobile library will be sustained through this revenue stream. A dedicated librarian position is budgeted for, as well as collection development support and ongoing programming and materials costs. Vehicle maintenance costs are also budgeted for.
The mobile library will be a hybrid diesel "truck" style bookmobile based on the Freightliner M2 106. The main benefits of this style of vehicle are lower cost, lighter weight construction, lower floor height, squared read service area with no wheel wells, long duty cycle, and ease of drivability, accessibility, and serviceability.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing 1) the purchase of a customized Freightliner M2 Mobile Library for the Library Department for a total purchasing price of $649,951; and 2) Approve the bid award to Techops Specialty Vehicles; and 3) a budget appropriation of $375,835 from the Library Trust Fund (917) and $274,116 from Measure R Fund (102).

ITEM #: H.14
SUBJECT: Design Agreement with Laugenour and Meikle, Inc., for the 2024 Water & Sewer Replacement Project, CIP 23-02
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____ to:
1.) Authorize the City Manager to execute a consultant agreement with Laugenour & Meikle, Inc., in the amount of $225,420 for design of the 2024 Water & Sewer Replacement Project, CIP 23-02;
2.) Authorize a contingency of up to 10% ($22,542) for design of the 2024 Water & Sewer Replacement Project, CIP 23-02.
Staff Contact:
Mark Miller, Associate Engineer, 530-661-5968, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for the 2024 Water & Sewer Replacement Project, CIP 23-02, (hereafter “Project”) is included in the Capital Budget approved by City Council on June 21, 2022. The funding sources include the Sewer Enterprise Fund in the amount of $200,000 and the Water Enterprise Fund in the amount of $200,000 for design costs. The design contract in the amount of $225,420 with Laugenour & Meikle, Inc., and the contract contingency in the amount of $22,542 are fully funded through CIP 23-02.
Staff estimates the total construction cost and total Project cost are $3.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively. This budget will be updated after design is complete and after construction bids are received. At that time, any necessary additional funds would be transferred to the Project from CIP 09-23, Water System Leak Detection Maintenance and Repair, and CIP 08-21, Annual Sewer Repair and Replacement. Authorization to Bid and Construction Contract Award will be presented to Council for approval at a future date.
There is no impact to the General Fund.
Background:
CIP 23-02 is the eighth phase of a multi-year project where Engineering and Operations staff annually identify locations around the City that have the greatest occurrence of water main and water lateral breaks and leaks, and prioritize these locations for repair and replacement. The areas prioritized for replacement are predominantly streets with two-inch (2”) or three-inch (3”) cast iron water mains located behind sidewalks. These smaller diameter, back-of-walk water mains have been experiencing an increasing number of breaks in recent years due to their location, bury depth and aging condition. Just under a mile of this deficient back-of-walk water distribution network will be eliminated with the 2024 Project. In total, approximately 5,200 feet of new distribution mainline will be installed in the street to replace the existing 45 to 75-year-old infrastructure.
Staff periodically evaluate the City sewer collection system according to the Sewer System Management Plan guidelines. Each sewer pipe in the City is attributed a condition rating that is regularly updated with a goal to eliminate sewer overflows and provide adequate sewer capacity to residents. Though the existing sewer pipes within the Project area are between 62-105 years old, they do not have condition ratings that warrant full replacement. The majority of sewer pipe defects within the Project are likely candidates for repair via
trenchless methods, but the possibility of open-cut sewer repairs will be evaluated as design progresses.
Discussion:
This Project is intended to repair and replace water mains and laterals in the vicinity of Coloma Way, Homewood Drive and Fourth Street (please see the attached vicinity map for the complete Project area). This is an area with small-diameter cast iron water mains located behind sidewalks with six-inch and eight-inch (6” & 8”) diameter mains in the street. The Project will replace this distribution network with approximately one mile of new eight-inch diameter mains in the street and connect residences with new polyethylene services. Once completed, the Project will result in more reliable water pressure and uninterrupted water service for approximately 124 homes.
The existing sewer system within the Project vicinity consists of six-inch and eight-inch (6” & 8”) diameter vitrified clay pipelines in the street. These sewers vary in age and condition with some pipes having been installed in 1917. Several mains within the Project were constructed as recently as 1960 but still contain a slew of cracks, breaks and fractures. Also, in this area of the City there are approximately 55 Orangeburg sewer laterals. Orangeburg material is manufactured from a combination of compressed wood fibers, adhesive and coal tar. At best, these Orangeburg laterals have a service life of 50 years and are a recurring problem for Operations Staff. It is anticipated that the City will replace any significantly defective laterals and sections of mainlines via open-cut trenching with CIP 23-02 and then return to this area in the future with a trenchless lining project to repair the less severe sewer deficiencies.
Laugenour & Meikle, Inc., (L&M) was selected for the Project through a quality-based selection process and is on the City’s on-call list for engineering design firms. The engineering design contract with L&M includes the engineering services required to prepare final plans and specifications and provide assistance during bidding and construction. These design services generally include:
• Project Management, which includes coordination with City Staff and other City consultants, quality assurance and quality control.
• Base Mapping, which includes conducting a topographic survey and preparing maps. • Public Improvement Plans, which includes drafting improvement plans for water and sewer main replacement. This typically includes submittal and evaluation of 65% completed plans, 90% completed plans, and final 100% completed plans and design documents, as well as a construction cost estimate. • Administration, which includes assistance during the bidding process and construction.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____ to: (1) Authorize the City Manager to execute a consultant agreement with Laugenour & Meikle, Inc., in the amount of $225,420 for design of the 2024 Water & Sewer Replacement Project, CIP 23-02, and (2) Authorize a contingency of up to 10% ($22,542) for design of the 2024 Water & Sewer Replacement Project, CIP 23-02.

AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 15, 2022
ITEM #: I.15
SUBJECT: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance adopting Changes to the California Fire and Building Codes
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council introduce an Ordinance adopting by reference the 2022 California Fire Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 9) and amending sections of the City of Woodland Municipal Code related to fire protection and nuisance abatement.
Staff Contact:
Eric Zane, Fire Chief, (530) 661-5860, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
There is no net new fiscal impact on the City associated with this amendment. Staff training will be covered within the FY 2022/23 department budget.
Background:
Every three years, the various State and National Fire Codes are revised to reflect the latest in building and fire safety standards. The Ordinance before the Council adopts the 2022 California Fire Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 9), based on the International Fire Code, 2018 Edition, with errata, published by the International Code Council, including Chapter 1, Sections 307, 308.1.6.3, 311.1 through 311.4, Chapter 4, Section 503, Appendix B, Appendix C, Appendix D, and Appendix E, for the purpose of prescribing regulations governing conditions hazardous to life and property from fire or explosion. It also amends provisions of the 2022 California Building Code and 2022 Residential Code related to fire protection systems.
The Fire Code provides regulations necessary for the maintenance of fire prevention and life safety provisions for buildings and premises. The Building Code regulates the fire, life, and structural safety aspects of all buildings and related structures.
The formal adoption of the proposed Ordinance will take place following the 12.6.2022 Council meeting after a public hearing is held. The City published notice of the public hearing twice in a locally circulated newspaper, with the first notice published at least 14 days prior to the hearing. One copy of the 2022 California Fire Code and the 2022 California Building Code will be available for public inspection in the Office of the Woodland City Clerk.
Discussion:
While the City of Woodland and other communities are required by state law to utilize the newest State adopted version of the codes for building permit reviews and inspections, adoption of the codes (by reference) by local jurisdictions provides greater consistency among jurisdictions and allows for minor modifications (amendments) to the codes to reflect local conditions.
All amendments from the prior code cycle remain the same regarding local amendments to the 2019 California Fire Code, with one notable addition: the requirement for, and specifications of a “Fire Control Room” in new commercial construction. Changes involved formatting, aligning specific code sections and deleting language or requirements that are located within the model codes.
The Fire Control Room amendment to the code provides the requirement and specifications for aligning all fire safety systems and equipment in the same room of a commercial building. As the Code currently reads, this requirement for a single room only applies to a high-rise building. However, the benefits of improved efficiency can be realized for all buildings, allowing first responders to analyze and control all systems in a building in a single location, including fire sprinklers, fire alarms, and other specialized fire suppression systems.
All current City amendments to the prior versions of the codes have been reviewed for applicability to the new codes. With this adoption, all former amendments have been rewritten, deleted, or revised to reflect the most current needs of the City of Woodland. Woodland Municipal Code sections not specifically included within this Ordinance remain unchanged.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce an Ordinance adopting by reference the 2022 California Fire Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 9) and amending sections of the City of Woodland Municipal Code related to fire protection and nuisance abatement

CITY OF WOODLAND – PROFILE
The City of Woodland, incorporated in 1871, lies near the heart of the Great Central Valley of California. It is situated 18 miles to the West of the State Capitol in Sacramento and 81 miles Northeast of San Francisco. Woodland is the County Seat of Yolo County.
The City of Woodland encompasses an area of approximately 15.3 square miles with a population in excess of 61,032 based upon 2020 U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program. The City of Woodland Fire Department, through a Contractual Agreement with the Springlake Fire Protection District, also provides fire protection for approximately 51 square miles of rural area surrounding the City, devoted principally to winter grain and summer row crop farming.
The City is the largest industrial area in Yolo County and has experienced a steady, well-planned growth. Woodland is also a key area for the many processing and service activities demanded by the extensive agricultural industries in the region.
Woodland is transcended by several major roadways including Interstate 5 and State Route 113.
California Northern Railway maintains a major North-South rail link through Woodland while Yolo Shortline Railway also maintains a local spur line in town from Sacramento. Both rails and highways have created barriers within the town which have significantly affected emergency response routes.

Justifications KEY: Findings to Support Amendments to California Fire Code and California Building Code
A. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
The climate within the City of Woodland is similar to other areas in California’s Central Valley.
The normal rainfall for Woodland is 20.7 inches. Winter storms are responsible for the heaviest intensity of precipitation, with 89 percent of total annual precipitation falling between November and April.
Winds play a major role in Woodland’s climatological make-up. Winter storms bring occasional strong wind gusts from the South up to 45 mph. There are also intermittent Summer periods of dry North winds when the humidity will drop well below 10 percent, greatly adding to the potential of a fire conflagration hazard where non-rated wood shake and shingle roof construction currently exists. This weather warrants the need for expanded ability to require the extinguishing of residential burning, to further protect combustible construction.
Summer sun in Woodland averages about 95 percent of the possible hours of daylight. The winter months produce 40 percent of possible sunshine affected somewhat by occasional periods of winter fog, which may persist for several days or weeks at a time.
The average annual temperature for Woodland is 61.9 F with higher temperatures in the mid- to upper 90’s during the summer months and lows down to the mid- 30’s during the winter months.
The record high of 114 F was recorded in June of 1961 while the record low of 19 F was established in December of 1990. Summer time temperatures are frequently accompanied by light to gusty south winds leading to potentially dangerous fire conditions. The limited amount of flammable and combustible liquids stored in specific zoned areas reduces risk.
Due in part to the winter and spring rains, Woodland generally experiences an extensive growth of vegetation during the spring, which dries out each summer creating hazardous fuel conditions.
Because the City is surrounded by farmland, an exposure problem exists during early summer
17 82093.00008\32391513.2
grain harvest season. Many of the grain fields in the farmland surrounding the City are planted up to the City limits (in some instances, residential neighborhoods). The proximity of burning fields to neighborhoods creates a rural interface problem, which greatly increases the chance of a major conflagration if the right conditions exist (Red Flag Days = low humidity, wind, etc.). Thus, the growth of vegetation, coupled with dry land grain farming, equates to an explosive fire potential prior to and during the grain harvest period.
Buildings located in portions of the City where combustible vegetation is present are at an increased risk of fire. The need for reduced fire area due to climatic conditions within Yolo County warrants a lower sprinkler threshold. The amended sections address these specific issues by requiring sprinkler and associated systems in buildings that are 5000 sq ft or greater in total floor areas, and all residential buildings including modules, mobile, manufactured, or multifamily manufactured homes. A lower threshold for sprinklers, and expanded definitions will provide more buildings with protection, thus reducing property loss and personal injury.
Woodland’s water supply is primarily from the Woodland-Davis Clean Water Agency (WDCWA). In most years, Woodland is supplied with 100% treated Sacramento River water from the WDCWA. In dry years, water supply from WDCWA may be reduced in summer months and Woodland would supplement from other sources. As a supplement to WDCWA supplied water, Woodland maintains three aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) wells, which supply surface water quality water to Woodland customers. Woodland maintains the distribution system through flushing and valve maintenance operations and has an active program to replace aging and failing water mains.
B. GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
Woodland lies in the heart of the great Central Valley of California, 18 miles west of the State Capitol in Sacramento. This Greater Sacramento Area is one of the fastest growing regions in the State. Woodland comprises an area of 15.3 square miles. Through a contractual Agreement with the Springlake Fire Protection District, an additional 51 square miles is now the responsibility of the Woodland Fire Department. Since the Agreement provides for equal fire protection in the District and the City, staffing and resources are severely stressed if concurrent incidents occur.
The 2018 Woodland Community Profile (created in partnership with the Yolo County Office of Emergency Services as part of the Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan) recognized the top three risks in the City to be (1) Flooding, (2) Earthquake, and (3) Wildfire. The City of Woodland is within an active seismic area. The City is thus subject to moderate to strong to severe shaking and surface ruptures resulting from earthquake faults located within or near the City. The City lies along the eastern edges of the Coast Range-Sierran Block Boundary (CRSBB) where the Dunnigan Hills Fault is located. These local earthquake faults have the potential to cause severe personal and property damage and fire hazards. A major earthquake originating along this fault line or from an unknown fault in the CRSBB could grind the local public infrastructure to a halt. In 2016, a small
2.5 earthquake shook Woodland; the quake was centered seven miles west of the City in an area of the CRSBB where there are no known fault lines. The Midland Fault, located southwest of Davis, is another fault that could cause shaking for Woodland, much like the one that occurred after the 1892 Vacaville-Winters Earthquake. Moreover, there is also a potential for damage to roadways and water supplies and the impairment of access allowing fire equipment to respond to
18 82093.00008\32391513.2
emergencies in the event of a severe earthquake. Much of Woodland’s downtown area is comprised of construction dating back to the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Balloon construction costs, lack of accessibility, and buildings built too close together greatly add to the fire extension problem inherent to this area, especially exacerbated in the event of seismic activity.
The City has also experienced tremendous growth in the industrial area. Several major distribution centers have been completed, many exceeding 500,000 square feet. The size of these buildings and the different commodities they house can quickly overwhelm the Department’s ability to mitigate an incident of fire caused by any seismic activity.
C. TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS
Summertime temperatures reaching beyond 100F are frequently accompanied by gusts of south winds leading to potentially dangerous fire conditions. The amendments limiting the amount of explosive materials stored and transferred within the City reduces risk.
The amendments lowering the sprinkler threshold and requiring sprinklers in modular and manufactured homes aligns the City of Woodland with other jurisdictions in the County and region.
Road conditions: Traffic congestion is a growing problem for the City. The impact of current and planned developments and associated traffic flow will continue to have an effect on response times and delivery of fire service.
The City is transcended by a major California highway running North-South – Interstate 5 and serves as the junction between Highway 113 and Interstate 5. In addition, California Northern Railroad has a line running North-South. Flammable liquids and hazardous materials are transported through the City limits by the above-mentioned routes.
The roadway system throughout the City is comprised of surface roads with alley ways running parallel to the surface roads, but to the rear of the addresses. The alley ways are narrow, extremely overgrown with vegetation, and not provided with protection by fire hydrants. Accessibility and availability of water are of major concern.
Woodland relies primarily on the Sacramento River for drinking water. The availability of water in the Sacramento River is susceptible to drought. Prolonged drought conditions will result in a curtailment in water rights in the Sacramento River, which will cause a shortfall in Sacramento Water to Woodland. ASR wells backup native groundwater wells and would be utilized during a drought.
Road conditions due to flooding: Woodland is essentially flat with Cache Creek forming the Northern Boundary of the Springlake Fire Protection District. City streets, even those outside of the floodplain, are also subject to localized flooding during periods of heavy rainfall. Currently, the City’s storm drain system is not adequately sized for the actual flows. Older parts of the city, particularly west of the East Street, do not have a system of under street storm drainpipes. Instead runoff is conveyed through intersections in valley gutters, culverts, or inverted siphons and must
19 82093.00008\32391513.2
travel long distances to reach a drain inlet. In these areas, when the capacity of the drain inlets and pipes is exceeded, localized street flooding occurs and remains for three to four hours after rainfall has subsided.
Typical flood hazards in Woodland generally consist of shallow sheet flooding from surface water runoff from large rainstorms with depths generally less than two feet. However, in larger storm events, there are significant areas within the City on the north and east sides that are also affected by flooding from Lower Cache Creek and /or Yolo Bypass. Cache Creek flooded during the heavy storms of 1995 closing County Road 98, which is a major artery into town. In the winter months of 2019, Cache Creek overtopped and flooded out some streets and homes of the community just northwest of the City, demonstrating the true risk of over flooding to the City. During major storms or prolonged rains, some of the streets in the City are actually designed and used for flood control purposes, thus making fire and emergency access difficult during flood conditions. As a consequence, many of the streets within the City are impaired during such flood conditions and such flooding causes physical damage to the streets and the accumulation of debris, all of which hinder access to fire equipment for the purpose of responding to fire and other emergencies.
D. Administrative/Procedural/Public Safety Amendments.
1. This amendment is necessary for administrative or procedural clarification and to establish administrative standards for the effective enforcement of the building standards of the City of Woodland and does not modify a building standard pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Section 17958, 17958.7, and/or 18941.5.
2. This amendment does not modify a building standard pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Section 17958, 17958.7, and/or 18941.5 and is reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property within the City of Woodland.
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 15, 2022
ITEM #: J.16
SUBJECT: Urgency Ordinance Prohibiting Truck and Trailer Parking, Storage, and Overhaul in the Industrial Zone
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council 1) Receive information about the proposed Urgency Ordinance; and 2) Adopt an urgency ordinance prohibiting the processing and/or approval of any and all Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal Facilities in the Industrial (I) Zone in the City of Woodland; and 3) Direct staff to prepare necessary zoning amendments to address truck and trailer parking, storage and repair uses in the Industrial district.
Staff Contact:
Cindy Norris, Principal Planner, (530) 661-5911, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
Requires staff and City Attorney time to prepare this and required follow up analysis concerning the urgency ordinance and future zoning code update to address truck and trailer parking and storage in the Industrial zone.
Background:
Existing City Zoning Code Provisions
The City’s existing Zoning Code regulates the location of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul in the Industrial (I) zone, which are allowed as a permitted use where not adjacent to residential areas.
Existing Conditions
The City has been experiencing a significant increase in uses that provide for the parking, long term storage, repair and overhaul, of large trucks and trailers in multiple zones. In the Industrial/Light Industrial Flex (I/LIF) zone, the storage and parking of large trucks and trailers, and major repair is subject to either a zoning administrator permit or a conditional use permit. Outdoor storage (including trucks or trailers) in the I/LIF zone is only allowed as an accessory use on a site with a permitted primary use and structure, and all outdoor storage must be screened. The city has several on-going code enforcement cases regarding illegal truck storage facilities in the I/LIF zone that have occupied sites in a manner that is not consistent with current Zoning Code requirements.
In the I zone, the parking, storage, repair and overhaul are allowed as permitted uses where they are not adjacent to residential areas. Such uses generally require larger amounts of land, and do not generally provide for site improvements, employ local workers, or provide point of sale revenue. In addition, uses with large numbers of trucks degrade the city’s roadway network but have not required to invest in funding future improvements. Further, these sites tend to be minimally improved due to the low cost to operate and remove valuable land from potential development desired under the City's General Plan. These facilities are often located in areas that have higher tax rate areas, but generate little to no property tax. Further, such uses can present a negative image to existing and prospective desirable businesses, and damage the vitality and synergistic opportunities in the Industrial zone, thereby harming the overall development potential in the community. The General Plan includes policy 2.A.2, which states that the City should maintain high expectations for development as land is a finite resource, given the City’s Urban Limit Line. Other related
General Plan polices include policy 3.K.2, which provides that the City, consider user fees or maintenance districts to address transportation infrastructure maintenance needs, policy 4.A.1, which states that the City shall focus on projects that will maximize long-term net revenues and diversify the city's economic base, and policy 4.B.3 which requires new development to pay its fair share of needed public facilities and infrastructure improvements and maintenance.
Recently, the City received interest in a larger truck parking facility (over 500 trucks) on a property located along the city’s eastern boundary. The extent of the number of trucks proposed would create a significant impact on the city. This type of facility takes up large amounts of valuable land area that is often located in areas that have higher base tax rates. These uses generally have very low employment and generate no sales tax. Therefore, it is staff's opinion that such uses do not promote the City’s goals of achieving aesthetic, fiscal health, or fostering economic growth in the community.
The proliferation of truck parking, storage, and repair and overhaul uses in Woodland, particularly in the industrial zones, poses a threat to public health, safety and welfare in that expansion of such uses depreciates the potential tax base, presents a negative image to existing and prospective desirable business, and damages the vitality and synergistic opportunities in the industrial district thereby harming the overall development potential in the community.
The City did not anticipate the number and intensity of proposed inquiries in the industrial zones for truck parking, storage, repair and overhaul facilities, and the City Council finds that there are resulting impacts previously unanticipated by the City.
At this time, staff is recommending that the City Council consider a moratorium in the form of an urgency ordinance that prohibits, Parking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal, and Repair and Overhaul facilities from locating in the Industrial District of the City of Woodland until staff is able to modify the Zoning Ordinance for the Industrial (I) Zone to limit or prohibit such uses as part of the Comprehensive Zoning Code update.
Discussion:
Urgency Ordinance
The City Council may adopt an urgency ordinance, which would go into effect immediately and remain in effect for 45 days unless extended within those 45 days. An interim urgency ordinance requires a 4/5 vote for adoption and requires the City Council to make findings that the interim ordinance is being adopted for the immediate protection of public health, safety, and welfare. The intent of such an urgency ordinance would be for it to remain in effect only until the City Council adopts an ordinance to regulate truck parking facilities within the City of Woodland to prevent further over-saturation and to avoid impacts associated with such uses.
The proposed ordinance would go into effect immediately and would be in effect for 45 days, unless further extended once for 10 months 15 days, and a second time for a year by the City Council following a noticed public hearing. It is the staff's intent to evaluate this issue in connection with the comprehensive zoning code update process.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council 1) Receive information about the proposed Urgency Ordinance; and 2) Adopt an urgency ordinance prohibiting the processing and/or approval of any and all Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer pParking, Park and Ride lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal Facilities in the Industrial (I) Zone in the City of Woodland; and 3) Direct staff to prepare necessary zoning amendments to address truck and trailer parking, storage and repair uses in the Industrial district.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Used Identified in Table 17.92.020 as Subject to the Moratorium:
The following uses are listed in the Zoning Code Table 3 - Permitted uses in the Industrial Zone, as subject to the moratorium:
Auto, Boat, RV, Bus, Truck and Trailer Service:
oRepair and Overhaul
Industrial Yard Uses:
oParking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride lots oRV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage
oTruck Terminals
Section 2. Findings.
The City Council of the City of Woodland hereby makes the following findings in support of the immediate adoption and application of this urgency interim Ordinance regulating truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities in the City of Woodland:
A. The City currently has an over-concentration of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities within its borders and has recently seen an increase in inquiries to locate even more such facilities within the City. The Woodland Zoning Code permits truck and trailer parking, storage and repair and overhaul facilities in industrial zones leading to this over- concentration.
B. The Land Use Element of the City’s 2035 General Plan includes specific goals and policies that aim to minimize land use conflicts and develop a logical pattern of land use as well as to upgrade the City’s appearance and establish a strong economic base. Specifically, Goal 2.A of the City’s General Plan provides that the City will support sustainable growth through orderly, well planned development that provides for economic growth, strong social ties, protection of the environment, an enhanced quality of life, and preservation of Woodland’s community character and agricultural heritage. The General Plan includes a policy that the City should maintain high expectations for development as land is a finite resource, especially given the City’s Urban Limit Line. The City Council finds that the large number of existing truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities and the potential for additional facilities is inconsistent with the General Plan’s goals of economic growth and high expectations for development.
C. The City of Woodland is a small city. Due to its small size, the proliferation of
truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities in the City has the potential to adversely affect the City’s economic and aesthetic environments by over-saturating the City with such facilities for storage purposes rather than with research and development, manufacturing, and industrial uses that the City is endeavoring to promote.
D. The large number of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities within and around the City of Woodland contribute to an overall negative aesthetic image and do not promote complete neighborhoods, active living, neighborhood interaction, or economic development.
E. Adoption of a moratorium on truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities will provide the City with an opportunity to review and revise its Zoning Ordinance in order to prevent the current over-proliferation of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities in the City from further expanding.
F. Due to the City’s need to study and review its Zoning Ordinance, it is urgent that the City study and evaluate the options available to it regarding regulation of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities to prevent the adverse impacts that may result from continued approvals and conditional approvals of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities in the Industrial zone of the City.
G. Based on the above findings and all evidence in the record, there is a need to enact an urgency interim ordinance establishing a moratorium on all new truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities within the Industrial Zone in the City of Woodland. This Ordinance is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare. It is the intent of the City Council that this Ordinance take effect immediately pursuant to Section 65858 of the Government Code.
Section 3. Moratorium. Based on the facts and findings set forth in the recitals and Section 2 of this Ordinance, the City of Woodland hereby establishes a moratorium on the establishment of new truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities in the Industrial Zone of the City of Woodland. No new application for a building permit, business permit, conditional use permit, or any entitlement for the establishment or expansion of a truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facility shall be processed or approved in the Industrial Zone during the term of the moratorium.
Section 4. Moratorium Term. This Ordinance shall expire, and the moratorium established herein shall terminate, 45 days after the date of its adoption unless extended by the City Council, at a regularly noticed public hearing, pursuant to California Government Code section 65858.
Section 5. Planning Study. The Community Development Director shall commence the review of the Zoning Ordinance and shall prepare all items necessary and appropriate in order to recommend to the City Council the appropriate Zoning Ordinance amendments and criteria for further regulation of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities as part of the comprehensive zoning code update process.
Section 6. CEQA Finding. The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this Ordinance and establishment of a moratorium
on truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities will have a significant effect on the environment because the Ordinance will maintain current levels of development and will not permit any truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facility that may have a significant impact on aesthetics or traffic levels. It is therefore exempt from any California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
Section 7. Certification and Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published once in a newspaper in the City of Woodland.
