ITEM #: I.7
SUBJECT: Waste Management Delinquent Garbage/Refuse
Accounts - Call for Public Hearing
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council set a Public Hearing for July 18, 2023 to hear and approve the list of Delinquent Refuse Accounts and direct the Tax Collector of Yolo County to assess liens against real property to collect delinquent payments.

Fiscal Impact:
There is little to no fiscal impact on the City to maintain the current process, other than time constraints for processing and releasing the liens. The fees for the recordings are attached to the total amount liened, so the property owner assumes that cost.
Report in Brief:
This action requests that the City Council set a date for the annual adoption of a Resolution to lien local properties for failure to pay for their Waste Management services. Staff recommends that the City Council set a Public Hearing for July 18, 2023 to hear and approve the list of Delinquent Refuse Accounts and direct the Tax Collector of Yolo County to assess liens against real property to collect delinquent payments. Before filing a lien with the County, a Public Hearing needs to be held to allow protests of the proposed liens.

SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting the Public Improvements for Subdivision Final Map 5092 Oyang South Phase 1
and 5137 Oyang South Phase 2.
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Woodland Accepting the Public Improvements For Subdivision Final Map 5092 Oyang South Phase 1 and 5137 Oyang South Phase 2.
Staff Contact:
Lolly Weichel, Senior Engineering Assistant - (530) 661-5820, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
All infrastructure improvements to serve this subdivision were constructed using bond proceeds from the Spring Lake community facilities district (CFD) and/or Spring Lake Infrastructure Fees (SLIF), along with private funding from the developer. The public improvements constructed with this map add 169,076 square feet of new public landscaping, with an estimated annual maintenance cost of $44,805.28 including maintenance and water use. This additional landscaping is within the boundaries of and will be maintained by the Spring Lake Landscape & Lighting District (L&L). These costs were anticipated during the formation of the L&L and will be included in the proposed annual assessments, which are typically presented to the Council in May each year. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 34 (GASB 34) requires state and local governments to include valuation and depreciation information on public infrastructure assets for accounting purposes and financial reports. The total cost of public infrastructure in the GASB34 categories that the City will acquire with these subdivisions is shown below.

Total $4,639,417 $4,541,726 $3,589,679 $12,770,822
Background:
On December 6, 2016, the City Council approved the Tentative Map for Oyang South (No. 5092) and a Development Agreement. The maps consisted of 77.3 acres and 250 single family lots.
On August 21, 2018, the City Council approved the first Final Subdivision Map (SM) No. 5092 Oyang South Phase 1 (120 lots), and the associated Subdivision Improvement Agreement with Lennar Homes of California. On February 26, 2019, Final Subdivision Map (SM) No. 5137 Oyang South
Phase 2 (130 lots) and the associated Subdivision Improvement Agreement with Lennar Homes of California was approved. The improvements constructed for Subdivision 5092 (Oyang South Phase 1) and 5137 (Oyang South Phase 2) and required offsite public improvements are shown on the civil improvement plans entitled, “Improvement Plans for Oyang South Phase 1” signed on August 21, 2018, “Improvement Plans for Oyang South Phase 2” signed on July 30, 2018, and “Improvement Plans for Oyang South Backbone Roadways” signed on May 31, 2018.
As of June 6, 2023, Lennar Homes of California has completed the infrastructure improvements to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, Public Works, and Community Development Departments.
Following Council acceptance, the City Clerk will file a Notice of Completion for the completed items initiating release of the developer’s performance and payment securities for these improvements. The developer has provided warranty security to correct any defects identified during the warranty time frame of one year following the filing of the Notice of Completion.
Discussion:
This is the standard practice for obtaining infrastructure improvements for new subdivisions. The final map dedicated streets and public utility easements to the city. The work was designed to City Standard Specifications and the improvements were inspected by the City during construction.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Woodland Accepting the Public Improvements For Subdivision Final Map 5092 Oyang South Phase 1 and 5137 Oyang South Phase 2.

ITEM #: I.9
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment for Construction Management and Inspection Services for Improvements
Associated with Oyang South Subdivision
Improvements
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, to approve a consultant services amendment for construction management and inspection services with Associated Engineering Consultants, Inc. in the amount of $32,520.00 for a total agreement amount of $991,732.40 and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.
Staff Contact: Miguel Chavez, Sr. Construction Project Manager - (530) 661-5952, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
Construction management and inspection of the Oyang South Subdivision Improvements are funded by fees paid by the developer into a specific deposit account for this purpose.
The original contract for Oyang South was approved on May 15, 2018, for $439,836.00. Amendment 1 (September 30, 2019), Amendment 2 (February 4, 2020) and Amendment 3 (May 4, 2021) increased the contract by $65,975.00, $299,155.40 and $154,246.00 respectively. If approved, the current amendment will bring the total construction management cost to $991,732.40.
There is no impact to the general fund.
Background:
On November 15, 2016, the City Council approved the Oyang South Tentative Subdivision Map No. 5092. Construction of the Oyang South Backbone, Phase 1 and Phase 2 Subdivision Improvements began in June 2018. The original contract work was scheduled to be completed in one year. However, the contractor took five years to complete the work.
The contracts for the Construction Management and Inspection of these improvements were executed with Associated Engineering Consultants, Inc. based on review of the City’s short list of approved firms for this work and the experience of each providing similar services. Associated Engineering Consultants, Inc. was deemed the most qualified to provide these services for the City.
Discussion:
The construction of these Subdivision projects includes improvements that will be City owned once completed. As such, the City is required to provide construction management and inspection for these projects. The recommended action to execute the consultant agreement amendment will allow for the continuation of providing the necessary construction management and inspection services.
Consultant contracts for Construction Management and Inspection are partially based on the amount of time spent on construction of the project. The initial consultant contract was executed based upon the schedule for completion provided by the developer at the time of contract execution, which was one year. This project is significantly past its originally scheduled completion date. As work
continues past the original completion date, the time required for management and inspection also continues past the original completion and thus requires additional payment.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, to approve a consultant services amendment for construction management and inspection services with Associated Engineering Consultants, Inc. in the amount of $32,520.00 for a total agreement amount of $991,732.40 and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.

ITEM #: I.10
SUBJECT: Increase Construction Contingency for the 2023 Water Main Replacement Project, CIP 22-04
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, to approve the reallocation of $720,000 of Water Enterprise Funds from Water System Leak Detection, Maintenance & Repairs, CIP 09-23, to the 2023 Water Main Replacement Project, CIP 22- 04, and to approve an increase in construction contingency from $252,259 to $902,259 for a total contract amount of up to $3,424,852 for the 2023 Water Main Replacement Project, CIP 22-04.
Staff Contact:
Mark Miller, Associate Engineer - (530) 661-5968; [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The 2023 Water Main Replacement Project, CIP 22-04, is included in the Capital Improvement Program which was approved by Council on June 21, 2022. On February 21, 2023, Council also approved the total project budget of $3.2 million, which includes the construction contract with RJ Gordon Construction, Inc., in an amount of $2,522,593, authorization of up to 10% construction contract contingency ($252,259), construction inspection (up to $229,918), other project expenses and staff time. The recommended additional water improvement scope requires an increase in the construction contingency and total contract amount to cover the additional work. Staff is requesting a $720,000 increase in the project budget to cover an estimated $650,000 of added water scope as well as potential increases in construction inspection and staff time. This will bring the total construction contingency from $252,259 to $902,259 (35.8% of the original construction contract) and the total project budget from $3.2 to $3.92 million.
Approved funding for CIP 22-04 consists of $3,100,000 of Water Enterprise Funds and $100,000 of Sewer Enterprise Funds. To cover the cost of the additional water system improvements, $720,000 of Water Enterprise Funds are requested to be reallocated to CIP 22-04 from Water System Leak Detection, Maintenance and Repairs, CIP 09-23.
There is no impact to the City’s General Fund.
Background:
CIP 22-04 was scoped as the seventh project in a multi-year program where Engineering and Operations staff identify locations in the City’s utilities that have the greatest occurrence of defects, breaks and leaks, and prioritize these locations for replacement. The 2023 project area is in the vicinity of Sixth Street and Archer Drive, south of Gibson Road, and originally included water system improvements on all of Archer Drive. However, due to materials shortages and inflationary pricing, a portion of Archer Drive was removed from the project before the project went to bid as it was assumed bids would exceed available budget. This portion of Archer Drive was the most cost effective area to exclude from the Project and is connected on either end by new water main built this year by the contractor, RJ Gordon.
However, bid results were lower than anticipated and similar to pricing on utilities projects in the prior few years. The total construction contract with RJ Gordon is approximately 30% below the
engineer’s estimate at time of bidding. As construction progressed and their work proved satisfactory to the City, Staff approached RJ Gordon for a quoted cost to construct water improvements on the remainder of Archer Drive provided they held unit prices for water improvements from the original construction contract. RJ Gordon agreed and provided an estimate of $649,286 for the remainder of Archer Drive improvements. Staff recommends the additional work be amended onto the construction contract via change order.
Discussion:
Generally, a change order can only be issued for work that is reasonably required in order to complete the original scope of the project. However, when the change order work is in the same physical location as the original work, the change order work is an extension of the existing work (versus adding completely new bid items), and it would be beneficial to the public interest for the City to build by change order, there is legal leeway for the City to change order this similar work onto the contract. Moreover, California case law excuses compliance with competitive bidding requirements in certain circumstances such as where requests for competitive bids would be futile, unavailing or would not produce an advantage. (Los Angeles Dredging Co. v. Long Beach (1930) 210 Cal. 348; Graydon v. Pasadena Redevelopment Agency (1980) 104 Cal.App.3d 631 [“Graydon”]). In accordance with Graydon, competitive bidding of the change order work would be unavailing and futile and would not produce an advantage because the on-site contractor has already provided the most competitive work pricing, already has the necessary equipment and materials on-site, and is familiar with the site being that they’ve already constructed the water main that connects to this change order area. Essentially, competitive bidding of the change order work would not be to the public benefit and impractical because it would fail to produce a competitive advantage to the City and would not be advantageous nor in the public interest.
If the City does not change order this work onto the construction contract, there would be aging, failing water main flanked by the new improvements, essentially orphaning the majority of Archer Drive until the Capital Budget has replenished funds and the City is able to return to this area to perform additional work. It is also sensible and respectful of neighborhood residents to complete the work and impact the area at one time, rather than remobilize the construction work and trench through this section of road at a future date.
The construction contract provides 150 working days for completion of the Project. Staff anticipates completion of the Project in the fall of 2023 and the change order work should fit into this construction schedule. Thus, Staff is not requesting a budget increase in the construction inspection contract at this time because existing consultant budgets may already cover the added work.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, to approve the reallocation of $720,000 of Water Enterprise Funds from Water System Leak Detection, Maintenance & Repairs, CIP 09-23, to the 2023 Water Main Replacement Project, CIP 22-04, and to approve an increase in construction contingency from $252,259 to $902,259 for a total contract amount of up to $3,424,852 for the 2023 Water Main Replacement Project, CIP 22-04.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND APPROVING AN INCREASE IN CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY FOR THE 2023 WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT, CIP 22-04
WHEREAS, the City Council approved Resolution 8047 on February 21, 2023, to execute a construction contract with RJ Gordon Construction, Inc., (“RJ Gordon”) in the amount of $2,522,593 and approved up to 10% construction contract contingency ($252,259) for the 2023 Water Replacement Project, CIP 22-04, (the “Project”) with a total Project budget of $3,200,000; and WHEREAS, additional construction contingency is necessary to cover changes in the Project.
The current approved construction contract contingency is $252,259. The anticipated contract change order total for additional water main improvements on Archer Drive is $650,000, which brings the necessary construction contingency to $902,259; and
WHEREAS, California case law excuses compliance with competitive bidding requirements in certain circumstances such as where requests for competitive bids would be futile, unavailing or would not produce an advantage. (Los Angeles Dredging Co. v. Long Beach (1930) 210 Cal. 348; Graydon v.
Pasadena Redevelopment Agency (1980) 104 Cal.App.3d 631 [“Graydon”]). In accordance with Graydon, competitive bidding of the change order work would be unavailing and futile and would not produce an advantage because RJ Gordon has already provided the most competitive work pricing, already has the necessary equipment and materials on-site, and is familiar with the site being that they’ve already constructed the water main that connects to this change order area. Competitive bidding of this change order work would not be to the public benefit and impractical because it would fail to produce a competitive advantage to the City and would be not be advantageous nor in the public interest; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to approve the reallocation of $720,000 of Water Enterprise Funds from Water System Leak Detection, Maintenance & Repairs, CIP 09-23, to the Project; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to approve an increase in Project construction contingency up to $902,259 for a total contract amount of up to $3,424,852.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council hereby authorizes the reallocation of $720,000 of Water Enterprise Funds from Water System Leak Detection, Maintenance & Repairs, CIP 09-23, to the 2023 Water Main Replacement Project, CIP 22-04, for a total Project budget of $3,920,000.
Section 2. The City Council hereby approves Project construction contingency of up to $902,259 for a total contract amount of up to $3,424,852.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Streng Pond Landscape
Maintenance District
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council (1) conduct a public hearing and (2) adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the fiscal year 2023/2024 annual levy report and order the levy and collection of the assessment within the Streng Pond Landscape Maintenance District.

Evis Morales, Finance Officer, (530) 661-5923, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The FY2023/24 Engineer's Report calculates the assessment of a single family home to be $79.10, which is unchanged from FY2022/23. If approved, the proposed assessment for the District would generate $14,436 in revenue. The Streng Pond assessment does not generate enough revenue to meet the minimum operational expenditures required to maintain the District. To ensure the ongoing operation and maintenance of Streng Pond, the City already contributes $19,628 from the General Fund on an annual basis but will now also be required to contribute an additional $16,227. The General Fund will be required to contribute a total of $35,855 annually to supplement this District, or the City needs to adjust levels of service and maintenance beginning in FY2023/24.
Background:
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 ("the Act") authorizes cities to impose assessments on benefitted properties to finance construction of street landscaping, street lighting, traffic signals, parks, street trees, sidewalk repair, recreational improvements; as well as maintenance and servicing of any of these improvements. In accordance with Act, the City formed the Streng Pond Landscape Maintenance District.
The Streng Pond District is located in the southwest portion of the City, generally north of Gibson Road, west of Cottonwood Street and east of County Road 98. The District was formed in 1985 and reached the maximum allowable assessment of $79.10 per single family home in 1995; there are no provisions for future CPI increases. The City attempted a property owner ballot proceeding in 1998 to increase the assessment to cover rising costs within the District. However, the effort was unsuccessful. Because the rates do not increase to cover the rising costs of maintenance, a General Fund contribution of $19,628 is budgeted to cover the operating shortfall. However, an additional $16,227 is now required to carry out the same level of services, for a total annual General Fund contribution of $35,855. The level of assistance is more than double the annual revenues generated by the District.
On May 16, 2023, the City Council approved resolutions to preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report , to initiate proceedings for the annual levy, and also approved a resolution setting the public hearing date for June 6, 2023. The Engineer's Report was attached to the May 16, 2023 staff report and is available for review on the City's website.
Discussion:
Each year, the City prepares an Annual Report for each District, along with estimates for an operating budget, to calculate the assessment annually levied on each parcel. This budget determines what maintenance operations are performed for the fiscal year and directs the County Assessor on what to levy each parcel. The complete reports are available for review on the City's website.
State regulations require a two-part process to complete the annual levy. The first part of the process requires City Council to take action to initiate proceedings for the levy, preliminarily approve the Engineer's Reports and call for a public hearing; this occurred at the May 16, 2023 Council meeting. A public hearing is required to complete the levy process. Following the public hearing, the City Council may direct changes to the Engineer's Report or to the levy, but may not increase the levy beyond the maximum approved amount.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) conduct a public hearing and (2) adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the fiscal year 2023/2024 annual levy report and order the levy and collection of the assessment within the Streng Pond Landscape Maintenance District.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed assessment would generate $212,265 in revenue to offset the costs of District maintenance, which is a decrease of $72.48 per commercial acre in FY2023/24. The proposed levy for FY2023/24 is approximately 97% of the maximum allowable assessment.

Evis Morales, Finance Officer; (530) 661-5923; [email protected]
Fiscal Impact
The FY2023/24 Engineer’s Report includes an inflation factor of 1.10%, which increases the assessment of a single family home from $360.50 in FY2022/23 to $364.48 in FY2023/24; an increase of $3.98. If approved, the proposed assessment for the Gibson Ranch Lighting and Landscaping District (the District) would generate $812,026.76 in revenue. Additional revenue of $198,173 will be required in FY2023/24 to cover the budgeted District operating expenditures. This additional revenue will come from fund balance/reserves of the District, which will almost deplete the fund balance/reserves and impact the General Fund beginning with FY2024/25. Staff will review options for adjusting levels of service and maintenance for this District to reduce costs.
Background
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“the Act”) authorizes cities to impose assessments on benefitted properties to finance construction of street landscaping, street lighting, traffic signals, parks, street trees, sidewalk repair, recreational improvements; as well as maintenance and servicing of any of these improvements. In accordance with Act, the City formed the Gibson Ranch Lighting and Landscaping (L&L) District.
The Gibson Ranch L&L is located in the southeast portion of the City, generally south of Interstate 5, west of County Road 102, east of County Road 101, and north of Gibson Road. The District was formed in 1995 and reached the maximum allowable assessment in 2005. The formation documents for the District allow for annual adjustments tied to the CPI without a property owner ballot proceeding.
On May 16, 2023, City Council approved resolutions to preliminarily approve the Engineer’s Report,to initiate proceedings for the annual levy, and City Council also approved a resolution setting the public hearing date for June 6, 2023. The Engineer’s Report was attached to the May 16, 2023 staff report and is available on the City's website.
Discussion
Each year, the City prepares an Annual Report for each District, along with the District estimates for an operating budget, to calculate the assessment annually levied for each parcel. This budget determines what maintenance operations are performed for the fiscal year and directs the County Assessor on what to levy each parcel. The complete reports are available for review on the City's website.
State regulations require a two-part process to complete the annual levy. The first part of the process requires Council to take action to initiate proceedings for the levy, preliminarily approve the Engineer’s Reports and call for a public hearing; this occurred at the May 16,2023 City Council meeting. A public hearing is required to complete the levy process. Following the public hearing, Council may direct changes to the Engineer’s Report or to the levy, but may not increase the levy beyond the maximum approved amount.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) conduct a public hearing and (2) adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the fiscal year 2023/2024 annual levy report and order the levy and collection of the assessment within the Gibson Ranch Lighting and Landscaping District.

Fiscal Impact
The FY2023/24 Engineer's Report calculates the assessment of a single family home to be $215.40, which is unchanged from FY2022/23. If approved, the proposed assessment would generate $26,710 in revenue. In order to continue operations in this District, the General Fund will need to contribute $20,025 or the City will need to adjust the level of services and maintenance in FY2023/24 to decrease operating costs to fit within the assessment amounts.
Background
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 ("the Act") authorizes cities to impose assessments on benefitted properties to finance construction of street landscaping, street lighting, traffic signals, parks, street trees, sidewalk repair, recreational improvements; as well as maintenance and servicing of any of these improvements. In accordance with Act, the City formed the North Park Lighting and Landscaping (L&L) District.
The North Park L&L District is located in the northwest portion of the City, generally north of Kentucky Avenue, west of North West Street and east of County Road 98. The District was formed in 1993 and reached the maximum allowable assessment of $215.40 per single family home in 1997. There are no provisions for future inflationary adjustments, and any rate increases would require a property owner ballot proceeding.
On May 16, 2023, Council approved resolutions to preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report, to initiate proceedings for the annual levy, and the City Council also approved a resolution setting the public hearing date for June 6, 2023. The Engineer’s Report was attached to the May 16, 2023 staff report and is available on the City's website.
Discussion
Each year, the City prepares an Annual Report for each District, along with the District estimates for an operating budget, to calculate the assessment annually levied for each parcel. This budget determines what maintenance operations are performed for the fiscal year and directs the County Assessor what to levy each parcel. The complete reports are available for review on the City's website.
State regulations require a two-part process to complete the annual levy. The first part of the process requires Council to take action to initiate proceedings for the levy, preliminarily approve the
Engineer's Reports and call for a public hearing; this occurred at the May 16, 2023 City Council meeting. A public hearing is required to complete the levy process. Following the public hearing, Council may direct changes to the Engineer's Report or to the levy, but may not increase the levy beyond the maximum approved amount.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) conduct a public hearing and (2) adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the fiscal year 2023/2024 annual levy report and order the levy and collection of the assessment within the North Park Lighting and Landscaping District.

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council (1) conduct a public hearing and (2) adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the fiscal year 2023/2024 annual levy report and Resolution No. _____, ordering the levy and collection of the assessment within the Spring Lake Lighting and Landscaping District.

Fiscal Impact
If approved, the proposed assessment would generate $2,745,080 in revenue to offset the costs of District maintenance. By zoning, this represents an increase of approximately 4.5% from the FY2023 assessment, which is mostly due to increases in irrigation and landscape maintenance costs, as well as maintenance of new landscaping installed over the last year. The proposed assessment includes the use of $210,500 in fund balance/reserves, bringing the adjusted assessment to $2,745,080 and will require an increase in assessments of $244,477. The proposed assessment is approximately 53% of the maximum allowable assessment for the District.
The following table shows a comparison, by zoning type, of the maximum assessment, the FY2022/23 actual assessment and the proposed FY2023/24 assessment:
When the Spring Lake Lighting and Landscaping (L&L) District was formed, the methodology and model that was created considered the types of improvements to be maintained, the number of properties to be developed and the zoning for each residential type. Initially, specific plan information was utilized during the formation stage. Each year the number of actual subdivided units is updated along with the maintenance budget to determine the new rates. Over time, the actual number of units that have been developed has varied from the estimated specific plan units. For the zoning categories where additional units have been created above those originally estimated, the rates do not increase as much, or in some cases decrease slightly, as compared to other zoning categories where the number of units subdivided has not exceeded the planned units. Therefore, the
increase/(decrease) for each zoning category varies.
Background
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“the Act”) authorizes cities to impose assessments on benefitted properties to finance construction of street landscaping, street lighting, traffic signals, parks, street trees, sidewalk repair, recreational improvements; as well as maintenance and servicing of any of these improvements. In accordance with Act, the City formed the Spring Lake L&L District.
The Spring Lake L&L consists of all property located in the Spring Lake Specific Plan area, which is located in the southeast portion of the City, generally bounded to the north by Gibson Road, to the east by County Road 102, to the south by County Road 25A and generally to the west by County Road 101. There is a portion of the District immediately north of the extension of County Road 24A (Sports Park Drive) that extends west of State Highway 113.
On May 16, 2023, Council approved resolutions preliminarily approving the Engineer’s Report, initiating proceedings for the annual levy, and the City Council also approved a resolution setting the public hearing date for June 6, 2023. The Engineer’s Report was attached to the May 16, 2023 staff report and is available on the City's website.
Discussion
Each year, the City prepares an Annual Report for each District, along with the District estimates for an operating budget, to calculate the assessment annually levied for each parcel. This budget determines what maintenance operations are performed for the fiscal year and directs the County Assessor what to levy each parcel. The complete reports are available for review in the Financial Transparency section of the City's website.
State regulations require a two-part process to complete the annual levy. The first part of the process requires City Council to take action to initiate proceedings for the levy, preliminarily approve the Engineer’s Report and call for a public hearing; this occurred at the May 16, 2023 Council meeting. The public hearing is required to complete the levy process.
Following the public hearing, Council may direct changes to the Engineer’s Report or to the levy, but may not increase the levy beyond the maximum approved amount.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) conduct a public hearing and (2) adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the fiscal year 2023/2024 annual levy report and Resolution No. _____, ordering the levy and collection of the assessment within the Spring Lake Lighting and Landscaping District.

Fiscal Impact
The FY2023/24 Engineer's Report proposes to increase the assessment on a single family home, based on an annual inflation factor, from $731.26 in FY2022/23 to $770.02 in FY23/24; an increase of $38.76. If approved, the proposed assessment for the District would generate $29,261 in revenue.
In addition, West Wood will require an additional $3,247 in revenue that will come from fund balance/reserves in FY2023/24.
Background
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 ("the Act") authorizes cities to impose assessments on benefitted properties to finance construction of street landscaping, street lighting, traffic signals, parks, street trees, sidewalk repair, recreational improvements; as well as maintenance and servicing of any of these improvements. In accordance with Act, the City formed the West Wood L&L District.
The West Wood L&L is located in the northwest portion of the City, generally to the north of Kentucky Avenue, south of Quail Drive, east of Dove Drive and west of Mallard Drive. The District was formed in 2004 and is currently being assessed at the maximum allowable rate; however, the District formation report included an annual CPI escalator, which can continue indefinitely to account for inflationary cost increases.
On May 16, 2023, Council approved resolutions to preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report, to initiate proceedings for the annual levy, and the City Council also approved a resolution setting the public hearing date for June 6, 2023. The Engineer’s Report was attached to the May 16, 2023 staff report and is available on the City's website.
Discussion
Each year, the City prepares an Annual Report for each District, along with the District estimates for an operating budget, to calculate the assessment annually levied for each parcel. This budget determines what maintenance operations are performed for the fiscal year and directs the County Assessor on what to levy each parcel. The complete reports are available for review on the City's website.
State regulations require a two-part process to complete the annual levy. The first part of the process requires Council to take action to initiate proceedings for the levy, preliminarily approve the Engineer's Reports and call for a public hearing; this occurred at the May 16, 2023 Council meeting.
The public hearing is required to complete the levy process. Following the public hearing, Council may direct changes to the Engineer's Report or to the levy, but may not increase the levy beyond the maximum approved amount.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) conduct a public hearing and (2) adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the fiscal year 2023/2024 annual levy report and order the levy and collection of the assessment within the West Wood Lighting and Landscaping District.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, DETERMINED, AND ORDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE DISTRICT, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Following notice duly given, the City Council has held a full and fair public hearing regarding the District, the levy and collection of assessments, the Report prepared in connection therewith, and considered all oral and written statements, protests and communications made or filed by interested persons regarding these matters.
Section 2: Based upon its review (and amendments, as applicable) of the Report, a copy of which has been presented to the City Council, is hereby approved (as amended), and is ordered to be filed in the Office of the City Clerk as a permanent record and to remain open to public inspection, the City Council hereby finds and determines that:
a. The land within the District will be benefited by the operation, maintenance and servicing of improvements, located within the boundaries of the District, and b. District includes all of the lands so benefited, and c. The net amount to be assessed upon the lands within the District in accordance with the fee for the Fiscal Year commencing July 1, 2023, and ending June 30, 2024, is apportioned by a formula and method which fairly distributes the net amount among all eligible parcels in proportion to the estimated special benefits to be received by each parcel from the improvements and services.
Section 3: The maintenance, operation and servicing of the improvements and appurtenant facilities shall be performed pursuant to the Act. The City Council hereby orders the proposed improvements to be made, which improvements are briefly described as follows: the maintenance and operation of and the furnishing of services and materials for the landscaping improvements, local street lighting facilities, parks and related equipment replacement, fencing and block walls, storm drainage detention basin, and all associated appurtenances.
Section 4: The County Auditor of the County of Yolo shall enter on the County Assessment Roll opposite each eligible parcel of land the amount of levy so apportioned by the formula and method outlined in the Report, and such levies shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as the County taxes are collected, pursuant to Chapter 4, Article 2, Section 22646 of the Act. After collection by the County, the net amount of the levy shall be paid to the City Treasurer.
Section 5: The City Treasurer shall deposit all money representing assessments collected by the County for the District to the credit of a fund for the City of Woodland West Wood Unit No. 1 Landscaping and Lighting District and such money shall be expended only for the maintenance, operation and servicing of the improvements as described in Section 3.
Section 6: The adoption of this Resolution constitutes the District levy for the Fiscal Year commencing July 1, 2023, and ending June 30, 2024.
Section 7: The City Clerk, or their designate, is hereby authorized and directed to file the levy with the County Auditor upon adoption of this Resolution, pursuant to Chapter 4, Article 1, Section 22641 of the Act.
Section 8: That the above recitals are all true and correct. That the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution, and the minutes of this meeting shall so reflect the presentation of and final approval of the Report.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: June 6, 2023
ITEM #: J.17
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING - Weed Abatement Program
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that City Council conduct the public hearing to consider objections to the proposed removal of weeds and direct staff to proceed with the 2023 forced weed abatement program.
Staff Contact: Dana Carey, (530) 661-5855, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact: An accounting of staff time spent and abatement costs, itemized by Parcel, will be brought to City Council no later than the June 20, 2023 meeting to complete the forced abatement process and approve the special assessments against the parcel property tax roll on affected parcels.
Background: On May 16, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 8087 beginning the weed abatement process. On that date, the Council also set a Public Hearing for June 6, 2023, to hear objections from citizens regarding the weed abatement program. The City Council directed staff to provide written notice to all property owners identified as having weeds on any parcel listed in the Resolution’s supporting material to announce the public hearing date. The purpose of this hearing is to consider objections from parcel owners with respect to being included in the weed abatement program.
Discussion: In order to reduce the threat of vegetation fires in the upcoming months, the weed abatement program provides the structure to require property owners to mitigate nuisance properties; and for those who do not, provides us with the authority to abate as necessary. This public hearing is a necessary step in the process to eliminate the fire threat of nuisance vegetation.
The cost of weed abatement services performed by the City will be charged as a special assessment against the parcel property tax roll. Property owners have the option of voluntarily clearing the lots themselves to avoid the assessment. Just over 260 properties were sent mowing requests indicating that properties required mowing by May 10, 2023. Upon review by Fire Department staff, 61 properties remain un-abated. Staff continue to work with these remaining owners to encourage voluntary abatement until June 5, 2023. After this date, properties will undergo forced abatement.
Conclusion: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing and direct staff to proceed with the 2023 forced weed abatement program.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: June 6, 2023
ITEM #: K.18
SUBJECT: Floodplain Variance for Velocity Island Project
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council consider the technical information provided and adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the floodplain variance for the requested building permits at 755 North East Street.
Staff Contact:
Brent Meyer, Community Development Director/City Engineer, (530) 661-5947, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
There is no impact to the General Fund.
Background:
The lessee of the site at 755 North East Street submitted a building permit on April 6, 2023 for a new dock structure to accommodate a dining area to replace the space that burned in a fire in 2022. On May 22, the lessee submitted for an approximately 950 square foot modular building for dining purposes that will be located on top of the dock. Because the site is below the floodplain, the building cannot meet the requirements of the City’s Floodplain Management Regulations.
Section 15.08 of the City Code provides Floodplain Management Regulations that govern the development of land within a FEMA designated floodplain. A Variance is required when an exception to the City’s floodplain management regulations is requested. In this case, a Variance is needed because the lessee is requesting to construct these buildings below the base flood elevation.
Discussion:
In order to approve a Variance, the City Council must consider efforts made by the applicant to mitigate the impacts of developing in a floodplain. The applicant and the City have developed the following list of conditions that will mitigate the impact of the building below the base flood elevation:
1. The permittee has a contract in place with a company that can remove the structures within 24 hours notice during the flood season (November 1 to April 15)
2. The permittee has an operational plan that cites monitoring of the California Data Exchange guidance plot for the Cache Creek at Yolo Gage website. https://cdec.water.ca.gov/guidance_plots/CCY_gp.html The plan will specify that the structures are to be removed from the floodplain when flood stages are forecasted to exceed the danger stage of elevation 82.1 feet within 24 hours.
3. The structure will meet FEMA flood water venting requirements.
4. Utility connections are to be constructed with the ability to be quickly disconnected from the buildings.
5. The permittee will sign an acknowledgement that they are placing structures in the floodplain, understands that they have committed to removing the structures based on the requirements of the operational plan that they are to develop, and the City is to approve, and that in the
event of flooding and the structures are not removed, the applicant waives claims to any damages and will not seek local, state or Federal funding to replace the structures.
Staff considers there to be adequate justification based on the following facts:
1. Site conditions in that the site is lower than surrounding lands and railroad on the east side of the property resulting in slow flood velocities. The lateral movement on account of flood flow velocity is negligible.
2. Generally, the risk of flooding is not concurrent with the operational season for Velocity Island.
3. The current flood warning system provides adequate time to relocate the structures out of the floodplain.
4. The flooding at this location is expected to be of short duration.
5. The proposed buildings are not conditioned spaces and therefore not considered habitable structures.
6. The CDEC guidance plots provide ample time to implement the structure removal plan.
7. The Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Reduction Project is beginning the design phase. The construction phase is anticipated in the coming years and when constructed will reduce flood risk at the site meeting FEMA 100 year requirements.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider the technical information provided and adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the floodplain variance for the requested building permits at 755 North East Street.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND
APPROVING A FLOODPLAIN VARIANCE FOR CERTAIN CONSTRUCTION AT 755
NORTH EAST STREET (VELOCITY ISLAND)
WHEREAS, the City has adopted Chapter 15.08 of the Woodland Municipal Code to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the City and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in flood hazard areas of the City; and WHEREAS, Chapter 15.08 accomplishes its purposes by, among other things, restricting or prohibiting land uses that are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards, and requiring that uses vulnerable to floods be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction; and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding this general restriction, Woodland Municipal Code sections
15.08.230-15.08.250 allow for the City Council to grant variances from the general restrictions set forth in Chapter 15.08; and
WHEREAS, Love Ride Inc. (d/b/a Velocity Island park) the lessee of that certain property located at 755 North East Street (Velocity Island) has applied for permits to construct a new dock structure and a modular building to be located on the dock for dining purposes to serve their existing business; and
WHEREAS, the site is below the floodplain, and the requested building cannot meet the requirements of the City’s Floodplain Management Regulations, and the applicant has requested a floodplain variance pursuant to Sections 15.08.230-15.08.250 of the Woodland Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the failure to grant a floodplain variance would prevent the applicant from utilizing their property in a manner consistent with their investment backed expectations and the manner that their property was used prior to the fire damaging their previously existing dock; and WHEREAS, the City Council believes there is good cause for issuing a flood plain variance in this instance because (1) the site is lower than surrounding lands and the railroad on the east side of the property, resulting in slow flood velocities. The lateral movement on account of flood flow velocity is negligible; (2) generally, the risk of flooding at this site would not be concurrent with the operational season for Velocity Island; (3) the current flood warning system provides adequate time to relocate the modular structure out of the floodplain; (4) the flooding at this location is expected to be of short duration; (5) the proposed buildings are not conditioned spaces and therefore not considered habitable structures; (6) the CDEC guidance plots provide ample time to implement the structure removal plan; and (7) the Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Reduction Project is beginning the design phase. The construction phase is anticipated in the coming years and when constructed will reduce flood risk at the site meeting FEMA 100 year requirements.
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that the granting of a variance as contemplated herein, will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause “fraud and victimization” of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Woodland as follows:
SECTION 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.
SECTION 2. Approval of Floodplain Variance. Based on the foregoing recitals, along with the materials and testimony provided at the meeting when this variance was considered, the City Council hereby finds:
A. There is good and sufficient cause for issuance of the floodplain variance; B. Failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; and
C. The granting of the variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause “fraud and victimization” of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinance.
The City Council therefore grants the floodplain variance contemplated herein, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this resolution.
SECTION 3. Conditions of Approval for Variance. The approval of the variance is subject to the following conditions of approval:
A. The applicant shall maintain a contract in place with a company that can remove the structures within 24 hours notice during the flood season (November 1 to April 15); B. The applicant has an operational plan that cites monitoring of the California Data Exchange guidance plot for the Cache Creek at Yolo Gage website. https://cdec.water.ca.gov/guidance_plots/CCY_gp.html The plan will specify that the structures are to be removed from the floodplain when flood stages are forecasted to exceed the danger stage of elevation 82.1 feet within 24 hours;
C. The structures will meet FEMA flood water venting requirements; D. Utility connections on the site to serve the modular building that is the subject of this variance are to be constructed with the ability to be quickly disconnected from the buildings; E. The applicant will sign an acknowledgement that they are placing structures in the floodplain, understands that they have committed to removing the structures based on the
requirements of the operational plan that they are to develop, and the City is to approve, and that in the event of flooding and the structures are not removed, the applicant waives claims to any damages and will not seek local, state or Federal funding to replace the structures.
SECTION 4. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Resolution which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Resolution irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof.
SECTION 5. Effective Date of Resolution. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: June 6, 2023
ITEM #: K.19
SUBJECT: Presentation of the FY2023/24 Proposed Budget
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive a presentation on the proposed budget for FY2023/24.
Staff Contact:
Evis Morales, Finance Officer, (530) 661-5923, [email protected]
Background:
The City's annual budget process is a lengthy process, including all City departments and spanning several months. The budget process begins around December each year, and typically includes several discussions with the Council, including quarterly updates, budget workshops, spending plan discussions, incorporates City Council's goals and priorities, and ultimately includes presentation of staff's recommended budget. The City's Proposed Budget for fiscal year(FY) 2023/24 includes assumptions consistent with the information provided to Council at the April 4, 2023 budget workshop and includes limited new items recommended for funding approval.
Discussion:
The proposed budget totals $206.9 million, supporting city operating funds of $165.6 million, capital funds of $16.6 million and debt service obligations of $24.7 million; this represents a decrease of 3% from last year’s adopted budget.
The budget includes a set of specific funding recommendations totaling $832,884, including $564,994 in one-time funding allocations and $267,890 in ongoing budget augmentations. The Proposed Budget includes funding recommendations to support one (1) new full-time position: Community Enhancement Specialist. The proposed FY2023/24 full-time equivalent staffing level of 324 positions remains 28.5 positions (8%) fewer than the pre-recession staffing levels of FY2008/09.
The General Fund budget, totaling $67.7 million, as proposed, represents a decrease of $2.2million (3%) from the prior year, including $106,645 in one-time funding allocations from available excess General Fund reserves, $25,000 in recurring operations costs, and $310,000 for projects and programs related to the revenue recovery component outlined in the American Recovery Plan (ARP) spending plan approved by Council. The overall budget proposal, which includes specific funding recommendations to meet selected priority needs would, if approved, result in an anticipated year- end unreserved fund balance in the General Fund of $16.2 million (30.1%), or $5.4 million above the Council's adopted reserve policy level of 20%.
The proposed FY2023/24 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget includes new funding recommendations totaling $11.4 million, of which $4.5 million is allocated for investment in transportation infrastructure, $6.8 million to advance capital projects in water, sewer, and storm drain utilities, $50,000 for Park Facilities projects, and $85,000 supports the library.
The overall budget proposal remains consistent with the city’s framework for advancing the Council’s goal of fiscal stability. The proposed FY2023/24 budget uses minimal amount of budget flexibility to
address priority needs. As the City continues to make progress in addressing its long-term structural budget deficit, focus remains on efforts to manage personnel costs and address unfunded liabilities.
Specifically, the budget proposal presented herein shows a deficit of $1.8 million in FY2023/24 and reflects a growing deficit of $3.4 million by the end of the five-year forecast’s planning horizon. This ongoing budget gap is attributable to expenditures outpacing revenues and projected increases in CalPERS retirement contribution rates resulting from lower interest earnings assumptions adopted by the CalPERS Board.
Proposed Budget Recommendations
Overall, the Proposed Budget is consistent with the budget framework developed over the past several fiscal years as well as feedback provided by the City Council through its regular quarterly budget updates and the Spring Budget Workshops held in April.
As has been the case in recent years, the budget incorporates fairly conservative revenue estimates, which contribute to limited discretionary budget flexibility. Nonetheless, the ability of the City to maintain and increase reserve levels has provided an opportunity to exercise diligence in implementing long-term, sustainable structural budget changes, while also providing the ability to utilize a prudent amount of one-time funding to address priority needs, above what can be supported by the baseline budget.
Several baseline General Fund budget adjustments are recommended in order to provide for a balanced budget and contribution to additional budget flexibility to support priority unmet needs.
The following summarizes the specific General Fund one-time funding recommendations included as part of the FY2023/24 Proposed Budget:
Under the current budget framework, limited budget flexibility is available to support on-going budget augmentations. The following table summarizes the recommendations for limited supplemental funding for ongoing, recurring annual General Fund appropriations:
The following also summarizes the specific Other Funds one-time funding recommendations included as part of the FY2023/24 Proposed Budget:
The following table summarizes the recommendations for limited supplemental funding for ongoing, recurring annual appropriations in Other Funds:
These funding recommendations will be discussed in more detail during the Council presentation.
Capital Budget Overview
A major component of the City’s annual budget process is the update to the five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). For FY2023/24, the CIP budget proposes funding totaling $11.4 million, allocated as follows:
Selected highlights of the proposed FY2023/24 CIP Include:
Water/Sewer/Storm Drain
1. 2024 Water & Sewer Replacement Project $3,600,000
2. Annual Sewer Repair and Replacement $1,040,000
3. Water Pollution Asset Replacement Project $ 675,000
4. Replacement of Orangeberg Sewer Laterals $ 500,000
5. Storm Drainage Pump Station Emergency Generator Rehab $ 260,000
Transportation
1. Matmor Road & East Gum Rehabilitation $1,800,000
2. 2023 Road Maintenance/Rehabilitation $1,000,000
3. Annual In-House Road Maintenance Program Support $1,000,000
4. 2024 ADA Improvements $ 200,000
5. Traffic Calming Program $ 100,000
As has been the case for the last ten years, CIP funding relies heavily on grants, sales tax measures and utility funds. While development impact fee funds have improved over recent years due to healthy development activity, many categories continue to face challenges with accumulated deficits, ongoing debt service and limited availability of money for project expenditures.
Looking Ahead
As we prepare to transition to a new fiscal year, there are a number of issues on the horizon that will have a direct impact on the City’s ability to sustain the current and proposed service levels and/or provide additional budget flexibility to advance specific priority needs not provided for in this budget proposal.
Property and Sales Tax Revenue Updates
The City’s fiscal outlook has improved since the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in large part due to the protracted economic recovery which has yielded modest but consistent growth in our major tax revenues. However, in FY2022/23, the City's sales tax revenue began to decrease primarily due to declines in the transportation sector. Staff anticipates this downturn to continue to affect the FY2023/24 budget and assumes ongoing modest growth in property and sales tax revenues for the remainder of the five-year forecast. The updated five-year forecast assumes modest revenue growth rates in property tax and assumes slower growth rates in sales tax throughout the remaining years and is consistent with most economic forecasts. The City will receive its official assessed valuation of the property tax rolls in early July, soon after adoption of the FY2023/24 budget, and will continue to receive quarterly updates of sales tax receipts and projections. In the short-run, actual property and sales tax receipts are likely to be within the range of assumptions used in the development of the FY2023/24 budget, and in the medium-term, the budget plan provides for a level of general fund reserves sufficient to absorb any economic correction that negatively impacts tax revenues. Staff will continue to monitor revenue receipts and other factors that could very well inform updated financial forecast assumptions over the five-year planning horizon.
Ongoing Labor Negotiations
The City has eight employee bargaining groups with contracts that expire at various times. Management has been meeting with four bargaining groups whose labor agreements expire on June 30, 2023. While certain assumptions have been incorporated into the Proposed Budget relative to personnel costs for employees represented by these bargaining groups, the terms of successor agreements may have direct short-term and long-term budget implications.
CalPERS Pension Costs
The Proposed Budget for FY2023/24 reflects the city’s costs associated with employer contributions for CalPERS pension obligations, as set by CalPERS for the coming fiscal year, and the five-year forecast, in turn, includes assumptions consistent with projected pension costs provided by
CalPERS. In FY2023/24 staff is estimating the cost of retirement to be $8.3 attributed to the General Fund and $13.0 million across all City funds.
In late July or early August, updated CalPERS valuation reports are provided that will establish the pension contribution levels for FY2024/25 as well as updated five-year projections. The upcoming valuation reports (and those to follow) are expected to continue to have a significant impact on the city budget, particularly in light of recent actual and projected investment losses and continued volatility in the investment market.
Conclusion
As we look forward to implementing the budget for FY2023/24, staff continues to look for ways to leverage local funding to enhance programs and services consistent with City Council and community priorities. Through ongoing partnerships and collaborations with public and private sector partners, we are seeing the fruits of key initiatives undertaken over the past few years. With Measure F and Measure R, the City has more resources and certainty to be able to provide essential programs and services as well as implement Council priorities. It is the overall goal of the Proposed Budget and long-term financial plan of the City to ensure that the City of Woodland can continue to deliver quality services, invest in the future of the community, while sustaining a fiscally prudent budgetary framework.
Lastly, staff will be providing City Council with a presentation of the information described herein at the June 6, 2023 meeting. Although the budget numbers presented herein are considered substantially final, staff continues to refine and make adjustments where necessary. Council feedback received will inform the final FY2023/24 Budget scheduled for adoption at the June 21st meeting.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council formally receive the proposed budget for FY2023/24.
