2023/2024 City of Woodland / West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 5 III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements that include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities.
The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in this District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on benefit to each parcel.
In addition, Article XIIID requires that a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. A special benefit is a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on the public at large, including real property within the district or D istrict. The general enhancement of property value does not constitute a special benefit.
B. BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each improvement, the associated costs and assessments within the District has been reviewed, identified and allocated based on the special benefi t parcels receive from such improvements pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID and the 1972 Act. The improvements associated with this District have been identified as necessary, required and/or desired for the orderly development of the properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with the proposed development plans. As such, these improvements would be necessary and required of individual property owners for the development of such properties, and the ongoing operation, servici ng and maintenance of these improvements would be the financial obligation of those properties. Therefore, the improvements and the annual costs of maintenance and operation of the improvements are of direct and special benefit to the properties.
All the lots or parcels are established at the same time once the conditions regarding the improvements and the continued maintenance are met. As a result, each lot or parcel within the District receives a special and distinct benefit from the improvements and to the same degree.
2023/2024 City of Woodland / West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 6 Over time, the improvements continue to confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon the lots or parcels within the District because of the nature of the improvements. The proper maintenance of the improvements and appurtenant facilities reduces property related crimes, especially vandalism, against properties in the District. The above mentioned also contributes to a specific enhancement to each of the parcels within the District.
The method of apportionment (meth od of assessment) is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives benefit from the improvements. However, each individual improvement element has its own distinct benefits both specific and general. The special benefits ass ociated with the improvements within this District are as follows:
SPECIAL BENEFIT
The special benefits associated with the landscaping improvements are specifically:
▪ Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements;
▪ Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area;
▪ Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space, open space areas and landscaping;
▪ Environmental en hancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention;
▪ Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well -maintained improvements associated with the properties;
▪ Reduced criminal activity and property -related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well -maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti; and, ▪ Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.
The special benefits of street lighting located on interior streets within the District are the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:
▪ Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection; ▪ Increased nighttime safety on roads and streets;
▪ Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see; ▪ Improved ingress and egress to property;
2023/2024 City of Woodland / West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 7 ▪ Reduced vandalism and other criminal act and damage to improvements or property;
▪ Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.
GENERAL BENEFIT
In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels within the proposed District, there are the incidental general benefits con ferred by the proposed improvements.
The general benefit to properties from the landscaping, streetlight and drainage improvements is a benefit to the parcels within the City. The parcels share equally the cost of the maintenance of the improvements.
The total benefits are thus a combination of the special benefits to the parcels within the District and the general benefits to the public at large and to adjacent property owners. Any portion of the total costs, which are associated with general benefits, will not be assessed to the parcels in the District, but will be paid from other City funds.
All of the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District. A lthough the improvements may include landscaping and lighting improvements and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construction and installation of these improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within the District and are not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary. Therefore, any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental and there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large.
C. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The method of apportionment for the District calculates the receipt of special benefit from the respective improvements based on the actual or proposed land use of the parcels wit hin the District. The special benefit received by each lot or parcel is equated to the overall land use of the parcel based on the parcel’s actual land use or proposed planned development, and is reliant upon the special benefit received from the improvements planned within the District.
To identify and determine the special benefit to be received by each parcel, it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the District improvements as well as individual property development within the District. The cos ts associated with the improvements shall be fairly distributed among the parcels based upon the special benefit received by each parcel. Additionally, in compliance with Article XIIID Section 4 of the State Constitution, each parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred to that parcel. The benefit formula used to determine the assessment obligation is therefore based
2023/2024 City of Woodland / West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 8 upon both the improvements that benefit the parcels within the District as well as the proposed land use of each property as compared to other parcels that benefit from those specific improvements.
Equivalent Dwelling Units:
Continuing the basic criteria set during the formation of the original District, the single-family residential (“SFR”) parcel has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of relative benefit. The single –family residential parcel is defined as receiving special benefit of one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”). The EDU method is seen as the most appropriate and equitable for landscape and lighting districts, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land-use.
EDU Application by Land Use:
Single-Family Residential (SFR) — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential home site with or without a structure. This land use is assessed 1.0 EDU per lot or parcel. This is the base value that the other land use types are compared and weighted against (i.e. Equivalent Dwelling Unit or EDU).
Although this District consists of only single -family units, the following classifications exist should there be any change in land use within the District.
Condominium — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential parcel that has more than one residential condo or town -home unit developed on the property.
Multi-Family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential parcel that h as more than one residential unit developed on the property.
Planned-Residential Development — This land use is defined as any property not fully subdivided with a specific number of proposed residential lots or dwelling units to be developed on the parcel.
Vacant Single -Family Residential — This land use is defined as property currently District for single-family detached residential development, but a tentative or final tract map has not been submitted and/or approved.
Vacant Multi-Family Residential — This land use is defined as property currently District for multi -family residential development, but a tentative or final tract map has not been submitted and/or approved.
Vacant Nonresidential — This land use is defined as property currently District for nonresidential use, but not specifically identified as nonresidential property.
This land use is assessed at 1.0 EDU per acre. Parcels less than 1 acre are assigned a minimum of 1.0 EDU. Parcels over 50 acres are assigned a maximum of 50 EDU.
Developed Nonresidential — This land use is defined as property developed for either commercial or industrial use. This land use type is assessed at 4.0 EDU per
2023/2024 City of Woodland / West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 9 gross acre. Parcels less than 0.25 acres are assigned a minimum of 1.0 EDU and there is no maximum acreag e cap, as is the case with Vacant Nonresidential Property.
Recreational or Limited Nonresidential Use — This land use is defined as property used for recreational or nonresidential use that is not part of the improvements provided by the District. This lan d use classification may include, but is not limited to, golf courses, commercial parking lots or commercial properties where less than ten percent of the total acreage has been developed. This land use is assessed at 2.0 EDU per acre. Similar to Commercia l properties, there is no maximum acreage cap for this land use, but parcels less than 0.5 acres are assigned a minimum 1.0 EDU.
Exempt Parcels — This land use identifies properties that are not assessed and are assigned 0.0 EDU. This land use classification may include, but is not limited, to lots or parcels identified as public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and right-of-ways including greenbelts and parkways; utility right-of-ways; common areas, sliver parcels and bifurcated lots or any other property that cannot be developed; park properties and other publicly owned properties that are part of the District improvements or that have little or no improvement value. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment.
Each parcel's EDU correlates the parcel’s special benefit received as compared to the other parcels benefiting from the improvements.
The following formula is used to calculate each parcel’s EDU (proportional benefit).
Parcel Type EDU x Acreage/Dwelling Units/Parcel/Lot = Parcel EDU
The total number of Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) is the sum of the individual EDUs applied to parcels that receive a special benefit from the improvement. An assessment amount per EDU (Rate) for each improvement is established by taking the total cost of the improvement and dividing that amount by the total number of EDUs of the parcels benefiting from the improvement. This Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EDU to determine the parcel’s proportionate benefit and assessment obligation for that improvement.
Total Balance to Levy / Total EDU = Levy per EDU
Levy per EDU x Parcel EDU = Parcel Levy Amount
D. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID), legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range
2023/2024 City of Woodland / West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 10 of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation).
The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula or CPI factor is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to an nual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments.
Commencing with fiscal year 2004 -2005, and then each subsequent year, the maximum assessment rate is proposed to be increase d based upon the CPI, as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor. The Engineer shall compute the percentage difference between the CPI for February of each year and the CPI for the previous February, and shall then adjust the existing assessment by an amount not to exceed such percentage for the following fiscal year. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the Engineer shall use the revised index or a comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.
The Assessment Range Formula shall be applied to the future assessments within the District. Generally, if the proposed annual assessme nt (levy per EDU) for the current fiscal year is less than or equal to the calculated Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.
The Maximum Assessment is equal to the initial Assessment (approved by property owners within the District) adjusted annually the CPI factor.
The Maximum Assessment is adjusted annually and is calculated independent of the District’s annual budget and proposed annual assessment. Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EDU less than or equal to this Maximum Assessment) is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year.
Although the Maximum Assessment will increase each year, the actual assessment may remain unchanged. The Maximum Assessment adjustment is designed to establish a reasonable limit on assessments. The Maximum Assessment calculated each year does not require or facilitate an increase to the annual assessment and neither does it restrict assessments to the adjustment maximum amount. If the budget and assessment for the fiscal year do not require an increase, or the increase is less than the adjusted Maximum Assessment, then the required budget and assessment may be applied wit hout additional property owner balloting. If the budget and assessments calculated requires an increase greater than the adjusted Maximum Assessment, then the assessment is considered an increased assessment and would be subject to balloting.
2023/2024 City of Woodland / West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 11 IV. DISTRICT BUDGET
A. DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS
The following is a brief description of the costs associated with the improvements and services funded through the District.
DIRECT COSTS:
Maintenance Costs/Labor — Includes the contracted labor, material and equipment required to properly maintain the landscaping, irrigation systems and drainage systems within the District. The improvements within the District are maintained and serviced on a regular basis. The frequency and specific maintenance operations required within the District are determined by City Staff and is based on the proposed service level of the District.
Utilities — Includes utility costs for water required to irrigate landscaped areas and the util ity costs for electricity required to run irrigation systems and lighting for the areas according to the proposed service level of the District.
Equipment and Supplies — Includes all, materials, supplies, (e.g. pipe, fertilizer, insecticides, fuel, cleani ng material etc.), and equipment , (e.g. communication, small tools, rentals, machinery etc.), required to operate, maintain and ensure the satisfactory condition of all improvements and appurtenant facilities.
Repairs/Miscellaneous Expenses — Includes the replacement of any materials and equipment needed to maintain the District. Also includes repairs that are generally unforeseen and not normally included in the yearly maintenance contract costs. This may include repair of damaged amenities due to vandali sm, storms, frost, etc. Also included may be planned upgrades that provide a direct benefit to the District. These upgrades could include replacing plant materials and/or renovation of irrigation or lighting systems.
ADMINISTRATION COSTS:
District Administration — The cost to the particular departments and staff of the City, for providing the coordination of District services and operations, response to public concerns and education, as well as procedures associated with the levy and collection of assess ments. This item also includes the costs of contracting with professionals to provide any additional administrative, legal or engineering services specific to the District including any required notices, mailings or property owner protest ballot proceedings.
2023/2024 City of Woodland / West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 12 County Administration Fee — This is the actual cost to the District for the County to collect District assessments on the property tax bills. This charge is based on a flat rate per fund number.
LEVY BREAKDOWN:
Total District and Admin. Costs — This is the combined costs of District Costs and Administration Costs.
Reserve Collection/(Contribution) — The 1972 Act pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 Section 22569 (a), provides for a District Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund provides for the collection of funds to operate the District from the time period of July 1 (beginning of the fiscal year) through January when the County provides the City with the first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills. Negative amounts shown for these budget items are transfers from the reserve fund that are used to reduce the Balance to Levy. The Reserve Fund eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts.
General Fund Repayment/(Contribution) — This item represents repayments of amounts that had been temporarily advanced to the District from other revenue sources (usually the General Fund) or represents funds being loaned to the Dist rict for the current Fiscal Year that must be repaid by future assessments. Similar to the Reserve Collection/(Contribution) line item, this item directly impacts the Reserve Fund or Replenishment balance.
Repayments are shown as a positive number and represent additional monies being collected in the current annual assessment to repay a prior loan. These loans are typically for capital improvement expenditures or unforeseen expenditures incurred in prior years where Reserve Fund monies were n ot sufficient to cover the expenses. To ensure the ongoing operation and maintenance of the improvements, the City may advance funds to the District as a temporary loan to meet current expenditures, and collect repayment of the loan through the annual assessments the following year or possibly over several years. Generally, the available Reserve Funds are exhausted before a temporary loan is advanced to the District and the Beginning Reserve Fund Balance will be a negative number indicating the loan amount still outstanding.
A loan for the current fiscal year (Contribution) is shown as a negative number. If the District is expected to incur significant expenditures in the current fiscal year for special services or capital improvements (upgrades or refurbis hing of the improvements) and the proposed assessment revenues (annual assessments) and/or available Reserve Funds are not sufficient to cover the expenditures, the City may advance funds to the District as a temporary loan to meet the proposed expenditures. Generally, the available Reserve Funds must be exhausted before a temporary loan is
2023/2024 City of Woodland / West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 13 advanced to the District and any funds temporarily loaned in excess of the available Reserve Funds will be reflected as a negative Ending Reserve Fund Balance. This nega tive Reserve Fund Balance will be repaid and replenished through future assessment revenues.
Balance to Levy — This is the total amount to be levied and collected through assessments for the current fiscal year. The Balance to Levy represents the sum of Total Direct and Administration Costs, the Reserve Collection/(Contribution), Replenishment/(Contribution), and Other Revenue Sources.
DISTRICT STATISTICS:
Total Number of Parcels — The total number of parcels within the District boundary.
Total Parcels Levied — The total number of parcels within the District that are assessed. Non-assessable lots or parcels may i nclude parcels of land principally encumbered by public right-of-ways, easements, common areas, and/or parcels within the boundaries of the District that currently do not benefit from the improvements due possibly to development restrictions.
Total Equivalent Dwelling Units — The typical single -family residential parcel is assigned one (1.0) Equivalent Dwelling Unit. Every other land-use or property type is converted to EDU’s based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific develo pment status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to typical single-family residential parcel.
Levy per EDU — This amount represents the rate being applied to each parcel’s individual EDU. The Levy per Equivalent Dwelling Unit, is the result of dividing the total Balance to Levy, by the sum of the District EDU’s, for the fiscal year.
Maximum Assessment per EDU — This amount represents the maximum rate to each parcel’s individual EDU. The Maximum Assessment per Equivalent Dwelling Unit, is the result of multiplying prior year’s maximum rate by CPI for February of each year as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
OPERATING RESERVE INFORMATION:
Reserve Balance — The Reserve Balance eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non -District accoun ts to pay for District charges during the first half of the fiscal year. The Reserve Balance allows the District to retain sufficient funds to operate the District from the time period of July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) through January or February (when the County provides the City with the first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills). Additional funds may be collected each
2023/2024 City of Woodland / West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District Page 14 year to ensure adequate operating funds are available or the funds may be used to reduce the Balance t o Levy. Using reserve amounts in this way allows the Levy rate to remain fairly constant, although District costs may fluctuate. The Previous Reserve Balance reflects the projected funds available at the beginning of the current fiscal year (based on the projected revenues and expenses from the prior fiscal year). The Estimated Ending Reserve Balance reflects the projected funds that are anticipated at the end of the current fiscal year (assuming the revenues and expenditures occur as budgeted).

Council Goal
This recommendation supports three of the four Council goals: (1) Improve Quality of Life; (2) Strengthen Public Safety & Infrastructure; and (3) Enhance Governance and Fiscal Responsibility.
Fiscal Impact
The Woodland Police Department successfully applied for the 2022 Behavioral Health Justice Intervention Services grant award for $60,000 which funded the addition of a second mental health clinician for this current fiscal year. Earlier this year, BHJIS awarded the Department an additional $18,000 in support of funding this second clinician position for FY24. The Department submitted a request for the remaining $42,000 as part of the budget process. The Department’s use of the supplemental grant award will be contingent on Council approval of this budget request.
Background
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has contracted with Advocates for Human Potential, Inc. (AHP), as the Administrative Entity to assist DHCS in overseeing and implementing the Behavioral Health Justice Intervention Services (BHJIS) Project. Funding to support BHJIS was awarded to DHCS by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA).
DHCS has allocated $16.25 million of SAMHSA CRRSAA funds for BHJIS. The purpose of BHJIS is to support local and statewide efforts to improve first responder, law enforcement, and other community efforts to address behavioral health crises.
BHJIS provides funding to help local communities address critical intervention points through which individuals with mental and substance-use disorders can be diverted from criminal justice involvement. Funds may be used for a wide array of collaborative planning, development activities, and training. Funds may also be used for first-year implementation, including hiring or contracting with behavioral health clinicians and/or peers to be embedded with law enforcement, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), or other first responders when responding to community situations, or integration of harm reduction, reentry support, and diversion strategies.
DHCS is looking for agencies in the law enforcement, first responder, and behavioral health communities that will:
• Implement innovative solutions to problems and connect people experiencing mental or substance-use crises with services at the right time in the right environment; • Utilize the best practices of SAMHSA, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), and Crisis Now, including co-responder models and/or the Memphis Model Curriculum or a Crisis Intervention Team–Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (CIT-POST) certified curriculum;
• Demonstrate collaboration between system partners and communities; and • Adopt policies and practices to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion and establish culturally and linguistically appropriate services.
Funds may be used to implement a co-responder team by embedding behavioral health clinicians, case managers, or peers into law enforcement, fire, EMS, and/or other co-responder teams.
Discussion
The Woodland Police Department and the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) aim to promote effective strategies to identify and reduce the risk of harm to individuals with MI or CMISA and to public safety by expanding the existing successful Co-Responder Clinician Program.
In 2004, the Woodland Police Department partnered with Yolo County HHSA to create a Co- Responder Program. This program allowed Yolo County HHSA to place a licensed mental health clinician who works directly with the Woodland Police Department Officers. This Co-Responder (licensed marriage and family counselor) works closely with Patrol Officers, Community Service Officers, and the Homeless Outreach Street Team.
During the FY23 budget process, the Police Department presented the need to expand the City’s participation in the Co-Responder Program with the addition of a second mental health clinician. The Department’s successful BHJIS grant application funded this expansion for this fiscal year.
The Co-Responder Clinicians respond to calls for service that could potentially involve a person exhibiting symptoms related to a mental health disorder. After the Patrol Officer has secured the area, the Co-Responder Clinician immediately starts interacting with the person in crisis. Frequently, the Co-Responder Clinician is able to stay on-scene if the person does not require a mental health hold. On several occasions, the Co-Responder Clinician has been able to provide family intervention, and follow-up appointments and resources. If the person is placed on a mental health hold, the Co- Responder Clinician can author the hold, freeing up the Patrol Officers to handle other in-progress and criminal calls for service. The Co-Responder Clinician can provide the hospital staff with a more clinical picture of the person’s issues and the necessity for the appropriate level-of-care. Having two Co-Responder Clinicians allows for coverage seven days a week.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. _____,
1. Authorizing the Police Department to accept the 2022 Behavioral Health Justice Intervention Services supplemental grant award for $18,000; and
2. Authorizing the City Manager to appropriate $18,000 in the Other Federal Grants Fund (330) during the 9-month grant period extension.

Council Goal
This recommendation supports three of the four Council goals: (1) Improve Quality of Life; (2) Strengthen Public Safety & Infrastructure; and (3) Enhance Governance and Fiscal Responsibility.
Fiscal Impact
The requested $46,341 appropriation to Fund 330 will ultimately be cost neutral. The requested funds will cover the purchase of the awarded equipment, which will then be reimbursed through the 2021 Homeland Security Grant award received by the City. The Police Department will absorb in its current department budget any cost difference that exceeds the grant award in purchasing the five (5) radios.
Background
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) provides funding to states, territories, urban areas, and other local and tribal governments to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from potential terrorist attacks and other hazards. While our system of automatic and mutual aid is robust our communication interoperability is hampered by non-contiguous communication. The requesting agencies straddle the boundaries between adjacent City agencies which utilize 800 MGHZ radios/frequencies and the County agencies which utilize VHF radios/frequencies. This variance in radio frequencies present a communication challenge for automatic and mutual aid partners who regularly respond to assist their partners in need This communication gap can be bridged by the utilization of all band portable radios which can utilize both VHF and 800 MGHZ frequencies. This interoperability is vital to the regions security and ability to respond safely and effectively. The all band capability is in alignment with the regional, state, and federal goals of strengthening communication.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____,
1. Authorizing the Police Department to accept the 2021 Homeland Security Grant in the amount of $46,341 for the purchase of five (5) portable all-band radios; and

SUBJECT: Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____,
1. Authorizing the Police Department to accept the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant Program in the amount of $47,040 in support of efforts to improve officer wellness and expand mental health sources; and
2. Authorizing the City Manager to appropriate $47,040 to the Other Federal Grants Fund (330).

Council Goal
This recommendation supports three of the four Council goals: (1) Improve Quality of Life; (2) Strengthen Public Safety & Infrastructure; and (3) Enhance Governance and Fiscal Responsibility.
Fiscal Impact
The requested $47,039.54 appropriation to Fund 330 will ultimately be cost neutral. The Police Department will absorb in its current department budget any cost difference that exceeds the grant award.
Background
The Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant Program, established in the 2022 Budget Act (Assembly Bill 178, Chapter 45, Statutes of 2022), provides $50 million for city and county law enforcement agencies for the purpose of improving officer wellness and expanding mental health sources. The funding may be used for any of the following purposes:
• Establishing or expanding officer wellness units
• Establishing or expanding peer support units
• Services provided by a licensed mental health professional, counselor or other professional that works with law enforcement
• Expanding multi agency mutual aid programs focused on officer wellness and mental health • Other programs and services that are evidence-based or have a successful track record of enhancing officer wellness
The allocation of funds for each eligible agency was determined based on the number of peace officers described in Penal Code section 830.1 that are employed. Recipients will submit information related to the Officer Wellness grant annually. A Data Reporting Guide has been created to assist with the reporting requirements. Recipients of the funds will submit a brief annual report due December 1, 2023 and December 1, 2024. Recipients will submit a final impact and expenditure report describing how funding was used and the impact of the resources by December 1, 2025.
Discussion
The Department is pleased to receive these state funds in support of officer wellness. The Department continues to bear the burden of the ever-increasing state mandated but unsubsidized
reporting and training requirements. Scrutiny on officer performance by both the state government and the general public add to the stress that police officers face daily. Recruitment, hiring and retention challenges exacerbate the staffing issues already decimated by injury, retirements and transfers to other agencies. The state’s effort to support officer wellness is a good first step towards mitigating these stress factors.
The Department is actively soliciting ideas from all staff on how to expend these funds. The Department recently initiated the conversion of a limited-use restroom as a lactation room to comply with state requirements. Staff have proposed upgrades to the gym equipment (many of which are close to 20 years old), remodeling and upgrading the staff breakroom and contracting with a nutritionist. Ultimately, the goal is to identify use of funds that would benefit as many officers as possible.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____,
1. Authorizing the Police Department to accept the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant in the amount of $47,040 in support of efforts to improve officer wellness and expanding mental health sources; and
2. Authorizing the City Manager to appropriate $47,040 to the Other Federal Grants Fund (330).

SUBJECT: 2023 Weed Abatement
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. ______, to declare weeds on certain lots and parcels within the city of woodland to be a public nuisance and order the proceedings to abate said public nuisances.
Staff Contact:
Dana Carey, (530) 661-5855, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
This is the initial step to implement the City’s forced weed abatement program; no direct fiscal impact.
Background:
Government code section 39560 authorizes the City Council to declare, by resolution, that weeds growing upon the streets, sidewalks, or private property in the city constitute a public nuisance. As part of the Fire Department’s weed abatement program, courtesy letters are sent to all vacant properties to request that parcels be mowed to reduce the amount of foliage that could be present on the property and thereby constitute a fire hazard. Theses letters have been sent for the 2023 weed abatement season in late April.
The second step of this process is to approve the Resolution presented here with the associated list of parcels that will be visually assessed for the presence of weeds. After the May 16th City Council meeting, Fire Department staff will visually inspect each parcel and enforcement letters will be sent to property owners controlling parcels that remain non-compliant.
City Council will hold a public hearing at the June 6th City Council meeting to hear objections from parcel owners receiving abatement enforcement letters. After the June 6th meeting, the Fire Department will perform force abatement on any remaining non-compliant parcels.
Cost incurred by the City for forced abatement will be reviewed at the June 20th City Council meeting and will subsequently be billed to the parcel owner as a Tax Lien through the Yolo County Assessor’s Office.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the city council adopt Resolution No. ______, along with the associated list of parcels that will be evaluated for compliance within the 2023 weed abatement season.

ITEM #: I.20
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING - Update Spring Lake Capital
Improvement Plan and Approve Consultant
Agreement - CIP 24-05 County Road 25A (Parkland
Ave. to Meikle Ave.)
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council 1) Hold a public hearing; 2) approve Resolution No. _____, approving the update to the Spring Lake Capital Improvement Plan, creating a new capital project: County Road 25A (Parkland Ave to Meikle Ave) Project, CIP 24-05, appropriating $135,000 in Spring Lake Infrastructure - Roads funding (Fund 682) for the Project and authorizing the City Manager to execute a consultant services agreement with Cunningham Engineering Consultants in an amount up to $115,000 for the Project and authorizing the City Manager to execute amendments up to 10% of the agreement amount.

Fiscal Impact:
A recent review of the Spring Lake Infrastructure Fee (SLIF) fund balances revealed that there are sufficient funds available to pay for some projects that have been desired by Spring Lake residents. The additional funding is primarily due to additional bond funding from the City’s most recent bond sale. The most notable project is the CR 25A segment that completes the existing gap between Parkland Avenue and Meikle Avenue. The remaining projects are listed below. The current action includes the appropriation of $135,000 in funding to design this road segment.
Background:
When the Spring Lake Capital Improvement Plan (SL CIP) was originally approved in 2004, the full length of CR 25A was included in the project funding. When the SL CIP was updated in 2009, the segment from Promenade Drive to Parkland Avenue was removed from the plan in order to lower housing construction costs during the great recession and encourage continued build out of the Spring Lake Specific Plan. Subsequently, when the SL CIP was updated in 2017, the segment from Promenade Drive to Meikle Avenue was added to the plan along with the greenbelt improvements on the north side of the road for the entire southern boundary of the Spring Lake Plan Area. The roadway portion of the segment of CR 25A was deferred to ensure sufficient funding in the Spring Lake capital fund to construct higher priority infrastructure projects necessary to complete the build out of the Specific Plan Area.
The other major improvement included in the SL CIP update is the change in funding for the SR 113/CR 25A interchange. This project was originally funded in the plan as an intersection signalization project with a 27% cost share. Now that staff has worked with Caltrans and our engineering consultant to advance the design of this project, it is now a roundabout project. While the project cost has increased, the Spring Lake cost share has been reduced to 22%. The overall Spring Lake cost has increased as shown in Attachment A.
Discussion:
Staff met with the Infrastructure Subcommittee on March 8 and reviewed the proposed update to the Spring Lake Capital Improvement Plan. The subcommittee was supportive of the proposed action.
On April 18, staff provided an update to Council regarding the status of capital projects within and adjacent to the Spring Lake Plan Area. The CR 25A project was included in this update.
The City is proposing to proceed with funding to complete the roadway segment of County Road 25A from Meikle Avenue to Parkland Avenue. The landscape and greenbelt portions of this road segment were recently completed. However, the roadway portion was deferred to ensure sufficient funding in the Spring Lake Capital fund to construct higher priority infrastructure projects necessary to complete the build out of the Specific Plan Area. The City has determined that, pending favorable construction bids, sufficient funding will be available in the Spring Lake Capital Improvement budget to construct this remaining segment of CR 25A. This project includes the construction of the signal improvements at the CR 102/CR 25A intersection. Construction of this project is planned for 2024. For new road construction in Spring Lake, staff completed a quality based selection process in the fall of 2018.
Cunningham Engineering was the top rated consultant. Staff is requesting that Council approve the consultant agreement so the project design can begin. With this action, staff anticipates executing the contract in May with project design complete and ready for bid in late 2023. This timeline will allow construction of the CR 25A project to begin in spring 2024.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council 1) Hold a public hearing; 2) approve Resolution No. _____, approving the update to the Spring Lake Capital Improvement Plan, creating a new capital project:
County Road 25A (Parkland Ave to Meikle Ave) Project, CIP 24-05, appropriating $135,000 in Spring Lake Infrastructure - Roads funding (Fund 682) for the Project and authorizing the City Manager to execute a consultant services agreement with Cunningham Engineering Consultants in an amount up to $115,000 for the Project and authorizing the City Manager to execute amendments up to 10% of the agreement amount.

ITEM #: J.21
SUBJECT: Woodland Microtransit Update
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation from Yolo Transportation District on the Woodland Microtransit Project and provide feedback to inform a successful launch of the point-to-point service this summer.
Staff Contact:
Spencer Bowen, Communication & Strategic Policies Manager | (530) 661-5808; [email protected]
Background:
For roughly the past eighteen months, the City of Woodland has been working closely with the Yolo County Transportation District (YoloTD) to bring on-demand point-to-point public transportation (or "microtransit") to Woodland.
This new transit service is part of a larger shift, both for YoloTD and the City, toward providing more flexible and sustainable mobility options. Microtransit will be one of many improvements being implemented as envisioned within the City's General Plan to help reduce reliance on automobile use, particularly for local trips.
Currently, YoloTD recently launched limited microtransit service known as Yolo Urban-Rural Ride (“YOUR Ride”) in Knights Landing and the Winters area. This new service has been well received and has been helpful in informing how to launch the service in Woodland. YoloTD also completed a multiyear “YoloGo” study to determine how transit services can better serve the community and recommended offering more flexible transit options such as microtransit.
To prepare for this new service, YoloTD and the City spoke with many other jurisdictions and microtransit operators to learn what works, what doesn’t, and more about the various types of service models. Then, YoloTD issued a formal Request for Information (RFI) to learn more specifically about various microtransit offerings. Informed by information gained during this initial assessment phase, YoloTD then issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a technology partner to operate the Microtransit platform. With input from City staff, YoloTD selected RideCo to be the technology service provider. As will the current Yolobus service, the vehicles will be purchased and owned by YoloTD and operated by Transdev, YoloTD's current contractor for transit operations.
City staff and YoloTD are currently working with RideCo and local stakeholders to finalize the details of the service including days/hours of operation, pricing, service boundaries, user interface, and branding/marketing. The presentation will provide the council and community with an opportunity to hear details about new service and provide feedback to help inform a successful launch in the coming months.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation from Yolo Transportation District on the Woodland Microtransit Project and provide feedback to inform the successful launch of the point- to-point service this summer.
