NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND condemns racism, xenophobia, and intolerance against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders; that it accepts responsibility for preventing and correcting racism, xenophobia, and intolerance against everyone in the City, including Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders; and that it further calls upon all citizens and city staff and community groups to assist in the furtherance of these objectives.

ITEM #: F.5
SUBJECT: Proclamation Recognizing May 2024 as ALS
Awareness Month

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a proclamation recognizing May 2024 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Awareness Month.

Background:

Council Members received a request to consider a proclamation recognizing May 2024 as ALS Awareness Month.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disorder that occurs when motor nerve cells cease to function and die, often leading to total paralysis and death within five years of diagnosis. There is no cure.

Multiple research studies indicate that people who have served in the military are more likely to develop ALS and die from the disease than those with no history of military service.

In most cases, the mind of a person with ALS remains sharp and alert, but voluntary muscle control becomes completely lost. As people with ALS lose the ability to walk, talk, and even breathe, the disease requires them to rely on caregivers, often their family members, to provide the care and assistance needed to perform normal daily activities. In many cases, particularly in the later stages of the disease, people with ALS have a need for continuous care, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

To defeat this disease, our community must be educated about ALS, as well as the issues confronting those who are affected by it. It is only through increased advocacy that elected officials, medical researchers, and health care professionals will give people with ALS the attention and support they need and deserve.

PROCLAMATION IN SUPPORT OF
AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS AWARENESS MONTH 2024
WHEREAS, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), known by many as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive fatal neurodegenerative disease in which a person’s brain loses connection with the muscles, slowly taking away their ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually breathe; and
WHEREAS, every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS and someone passes away from ALS; and WHEREAS, on average, patients diagnosed with ALS only survive two to five years from the time of diagnosis; and WHEREAS, ALS has no cure; and
WHEREAS, people who have served in the military are more likely to develop ALS and die from the disease than those with no history of military service; and
WHEREAS, securing access to new therapies, durable medical equipment, and communication technologies is of vital importance to people living with ALS; and
WHEREAS, clinical trials play a pivotal role in evaluating new treatments, enhancing quality of life, and fostering assistive technologies for those living with ALS; and
WHEREAS, we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge through a renewed commitment to galvanize public awareness and support funding leading to significant investments in ALS research; and WHEREAS, the ALS Association, as the largest philanthropic funder of ALS research globally, has committed over $154 million to support more than 550 projects across the United States and 18 other countries; and WHEREAS, our commitment to accelerating the pace of discovery remains unwavering, fueled by the hope that one day, ALS will be a livable disease for everyone, everywhere, until we can cure it.

WHEREAS, ALS Awareness Month increases the public's awareness of people with ALS’ dire circumstances, and acknowledges the terrible impact this disease has, not only on the person but on his or her family and the community, and recognizes the research being done to eradicate this disease.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND do hereby proclaim the month of May 2024 as ALS Awareness Month. I call upon all Americans to join in supporting ALS research, advocating for increased funding, and standing in solidarity with those affected by this relentless disease.

ITEM #: F.6
SUBJECT: Resolution Revoking Resolution No. 809, opposing the return of Japanese people to the Pacific Coast

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, A Resolution Revoking Resolution No. 809 Opposing the Return of Japanese people to the Pacific Coast.

Staff Contact:

Ana B. Gonzalez, MMC, City Clerk, (530) 661-5806, [email protected]

Background:

In 1943, the Woodland City Council adopted Resolution 809, supporting the internment of people of Japanese heritage and endorsing the orders of General John L. DeWitt to prohibit the return of those interned.

On December 8, 1941, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States Congress declared that a state of war had existed with Japan since the attack. On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which led to the internment of almost 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. Two-thirds of these were native born American citizens (Nisei) and seventy percent were from California. They were forced to sell their homes and belongings and enter Relocation Authority Camps in remote locations such as Manzanar and Tule Lake. On June 21, 1943, the Woodland City Council adopted Resolution 809 that regretfully supported the imprisonment of people of Japanese heritage and endorsed the orders of General John L. DeWitt for internment.

In 1988, President Reagan signed into law the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 (Pub.L. 100-383 title I, August 10, 1988, 102 Stat. 904, 50a U.S.C. §1989b), that officially apologized for the imprisonment on behalf of the United States, concluding that the government’s actions were based on “race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership.”

Consistent with the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, the incarceration of people of Japanese heritage during the Second World War, and local enactments supporting such imprisonment, were the result of wartime hysteria, race prejudice, and lack of political leadership. However, through oversight, Resolution No. 809 was never revoked.

A RESOLUTION REVOKING RESOLUTION NO. 809 OPPOSING

THE RETURN OF JAPANESE PEOPLE TO THE PACIFIC COAST
WHEREAS, the City Council, in 1943, during the height of World War II, passed a resolution that commended Army Authorities and opposed the return of Japanese people to the Pacific Coast; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that it was a dark time in the country's history when 110,000 Japanese Americans, both citizens and their parents, who were then ineligible for citizenship, were removed by US military officials and placed in 14 desolate internment camps in California, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Arkansas; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Woodland does not condone or practice discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, color, sex, national origin, disability, economic status or sexual orientation; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is proud to acknowledge and cherish the accomplishments of the many residents of the community of Japanese descent.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Woodland revokes Resolution No. 809 commending the military for evacuating Japanese Nationals and urging legislation to prevent the return of said evacuees after cessation of hostilities.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds the revocation of the 1943 Council action a step towards reconciliation and healing of past discrimination that has no place in a democratic society today.

SUBJECT: Professional Service Agreement with Greater
Sacramento Softball Association

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Greater Sacramento Softball Association in the amount not-to-exceed $60,000 each fiscal year for softball officiating services.

Staff Contact:

Kris Bain, Community Services Program Manager, (530) 661-2002, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

Greater Sacramento Softball Association (GSSA) can provide professional softball officiating services for the City’s softball leagues for up to $60,000 per fiscal year (this dollar amount will vary depending on the number of teams each season, but it will not exceed $60,000). The fees collected by the City cover the expenses of the softball officials.

Background:

The City’s Community Services Department offers three adult softball leagues during the year for the community. Each season is eight to ten weeks long. Approximately 110 teams participate in each season (over 1,000 people.) The program necessitates the use of professional officiating services for the umpires.

GSSA has been providing officiating services for nineteen years with the City. The last contract for these services expires on June 30, 2024. GSSA is an affiliate of USA Softball, the National Governing Body of softball, one of 63 associations in the United States, and provides professional softball officiating services to 26 public agencies in the Greater Sacramento region, with territory from Dixon to Lake Tahoe. GSSA has been in operation since 1955 as a non-profit organization. As a well-established business, they have over 180 officiators available to assign to softball games. All officials are independent contractors and not employees of GSSA.

Discussion:

A request for proposals was sent to three organizations that are used by other municipal agencies.

One proposal was received from GSSA.

GSSA has a long history of providing softball officials to public, private, and non-profit organizations.

All officials must meet the following certifications: pass a National USA Softball Qualification test, pass a background screening, complete an annual SafeSport Training Certification, and attend and participate in annual training.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Greater Sacramento Softball Association in the amount not-to-exceed $60,000 each fiscal year for softball officiating services.

Fiscal Impact:

In fiscal year 24/25, the City will receive an estimated $1,532,496 from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) created by Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The list of projects that are funded in-part or solely with FY 24/25 RMRA revenue are included in the current Capital Budget. Due to SB1 funding requirements, staff will return annually (prior to July 1 each year) to establish the City’s priority for receipt of RMRA funding.

The projected revenue to the City of Woodland for the first ten years of SB1 RMRA is just over $16 million.

There is no impact on the General Fund.

Background:

In April 2017, Senate Bill 1 (SB1) was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown to address the significant funding shortfall for road maintenance and repair in the state. The bill includes funding for state transportation infrastructure, public transportation and cities and counties. The bill includes annual accountability provisions for cities and counties that ensure the community has access to information on projects proposed for SB1 funding and requirements to report on actual funding expenditures. Beginning in November 2017, the State Controller began depositing SB1 funding into the RMRA, a portion of which is distributed by formula directly to cities and counties.

For the City of Woodland to continue receiving its allocation, the City must annually adopt a list of projects that will be funded in-part or solely with the following fiscal year’s RMRA revenues. Additionally, staff submits project details and budget documentation to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) by July 1 each year for verification of compliance with SB1 requirements. The process of adopting a list of RMRA funded projects included in the Capital Budget and reporting to the CTC is an annual requirement of SB1 funding.

Discussion:

The estimated RMRA revenue for FY 24/25 is $1,532,496.

The following is the previously adopted list of projects (identified in the current Capital Budget) that may also utilize FY 24/25 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues in their delivery. With the relisting of these projects, the City is reaffirming to the public and the State our intent to fund these projects with Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues:

• CIP #19-05: 2020 Road Rehabilitation Project – Matmor Road & E. Gum Avenue

The annual submittal of project details to the CTC does not preclude the City from amending the funded projects to align with City needs and priorities as long as all projects are consistent with RMRA priorities and are eligible for road maintenance and rehabilitation projects.

SB1 funding has a requirement that funded projects be identified in the City’s Capital Improvement Budget and Council adopt the list of RMRA funded projects each year. However, the City is only required to identify one year at a time. Thus, the current Council action for adopting a project list funded by RMRA only addresses the next fiscal year. The future year’s project funding shown in the project budget is for informational purposes and will be appropriated annually as the SB1 funding is received.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, adopting a list of projects for FY 24/25 funded by SB1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds.

AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: May 21, 2024
ITEM #: G.11
SUBJECT: American Rescue Plan Update

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council receive an update on the City’s American Rescue Plan (ARP) and projects funded under the category of Youth Services, Childcare, and Community Building.

Staff Contact:

Christine Engel, Community Services Director, [email protected] Ken Hiatt, City Manager, (530) 661-5802, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The City was granted $11.1 million in American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds in FY2021/22. In addition, the funds have generated $57,245 in interest earnings and the City has also received $700,000 from the County in matching funds and many of the projects received matching funding from other sources, helping to leverage greater impact. The attached ARP spending plan remains balanced between revenues and expenditures and ensures no unauthorized inter-fund borrowing for City operations and project execution.

Background:

On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) was signed into law. The $1.9 trillion package includes $350 billion for state and local governments to respond to the COVID-19 emergency and to recover revenues lost as a result of the economic fallout from the pandemic. The City of Woodland's allocation of these ARP funds was $11,114,656.

The Council appointed Councilmembers Vega and Stallard to serve as an ad hoc subcommittee to develop a recommended ARP spending plan. The council received the updated spending plan at their meeting on March 15, 2022, and subsequently amended at the May 2, 2023, meeting. The spending plan allocated ARP resources among the following priority categories:

• Critical Services/Public Health & Safety
• Economic Assistance/Housing
• Youth Services/Childcare/Community Building
• Infrastructure
• Sustainability

Discussion:

Staff is not seeking any direction from Council on changes to the spending plan at this time, as the majority of allocations are on track to be spent or fully committed within the coming year. Refinements to the allocation of funds will be brought forward at a future Council meeting as final expenditure amounts are known, and any remaining funds need to be allocated.

The primary purpose of this item is to provide an update on the implementation of the various projects funded under the Youth Services, Childcare, and Community Building category of the Plan. Attachment 2 to this report provides details on the seven projects listed below that have been funded:
• Welcome Baby
• Sustaining Childcare and Early Learning in Yolo County at Cesar Chavez • Child Care Connections Network
• Woodland Haven Child Care Center

• Roadmap to the Future for Yolo County Children and Youth • Woodland Boys & Girls Club
• Woodland Mobile Farmer’s Market

Representatives from the various organizations will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to provide further details on the status and impact of these projects.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive an update on the City’s American Rescue Plan (ARP) and projects funded under the category of Youth Services, Childcare, and Community Building.

Project Name: Welcome Baby Program
Grantee: First 5 Yolo Children and Families Commission (First 5 Yolo) Total Funding Allotted: $150,000
Total Allocated to Date: $75,000
Project Timeframe: March 2022 - present
Project Overview and Status: First 5 Yolo Welcome Baby is a proactive prevention strategy designed to mitigate exposure to toxic stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to build family resiliency in Yolo County. The program was launched in March 2022 with ARP funding from many agencies. While the City of Woodland contributed $150,000 for this program, First 5 Yolo has secured a total of 2.9 million dollars in funding for the entire program.

Welcome Baby is available to all postpartum women in Yolo County who are eligible for pregnancy and postpartum care services under Medi-Cal. Patients are recruited in prenatal clinics by providers as well as in labor and delivery by primary care nurses. After delivery, trained nurses conduct home visits with families to assess needs and provide resources and connections to health and social welfare programs. Nurse home visitors also screen for mental health issues and provide breastfeeding support if desired. Since project launch, 864 families were enrolled in Welcome Baby of which 311 (36%) were from Woodland. During the last quarter (January – March 2024), 99 families were enrolled in Welcome Baby and 48 were Woodland families. During this quarter, 72 home visits were completed, of which 34 were Woodland homes.

Total Funding Allotted: $175,000
Total Allocated to Date: $88,000
Project Timeframe: Anticipated Completion Date Fall 2024 Project Overview and Status: This project involves moving and modernizing a donated vacant portable classroom from Cesar Chavez School to be used as a new infant and toddler classroom. Upon completion of the project, this adds 16 much needed childcare spaces in Woodland, which was identified as a high need in a 2020 Yolo County Local Childcare Planning Council (LPC) Needs Assessment. The portable classroom – along with two additional classrooms – will form a new early childhood education location in Woodland (currently unnamed). In the last quarter of 2023, YCOE finalized the architectural design, submitted the plans to the Department of State Architects (DSA), received approval from DSA, and began the process for receiving construction bids for the project. In the first quarter of 2024, YCOE awarded the contract, developed the construction schedule, and launched construction on the site.

Construction is expected to be completed in July 2024. Upon completion, YCOE will initiate licensing with the state to permit enrollment of children at the site. YCOE is working towards a fall 2024 launch, which is dependent on the contractor meeting construction deadlines and finalization of state licensing.

Project Name: Woodland Haven Child Care Center
Grantee: Woodland Haven, Inc.

Total Funding Allotted: $775,000
Total Allocated to Date: $775,000
Project Timeframe: Loan forgiveness complete after 10 years of operation (April 5, 2032)
Project Overview and Status: This project is a forgivable loan agreement which assists in the development of a new childcare center called Woodland Haven Child Care Center. Specifically, the non-profit preschool and daycare center, when at full operation, has the capacity to serve one hundred children aged 3 months to 5 years old.

In addition, the agreement requires that the borrower maintain 20% of the spots for CalWORKS Recipients.

Furthermore, priority registration of remaining spots shall be provided to families residing in Woodland and households with two working parents or a one parent head of household.

The preschool center opened in August of 2022, and the daycare center, which includes an infant program and a toddler program, opened in September of 2022. This infant and toddler program is the largest infant/toddler program in Yolo County, based on licensing information through the Social Services website. An additional added benefit of Woodland Haven is that it has added 25 jobs for residents of Yolo County, the majority of whom are Woodland residents.

As of the last quarter report, dated February 2024, 92 children were enrolled in the center; 49 preschool students, 24 toddlers and 19 infants. Of the children enrolled, 22% were from households receiving CalWORKS or like assistance, 96% were Woodland residents, and 98% were from households with two working parents or a one parent head of household.

Background:

In order to maintain a compliant Housing Element with the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), staff prepares an Annual Progress Report (APR) detailing the City's progress on various measures. This report summarizes the findings of the City's 2023 APR and Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals in calendar year 2023. HCD processed and validated Woodland's 2023 APR on Monday, April 8.

The Woodland Research and Technology Park Specific Plan was approved and adopted by the Woodland City Council on September 5, 2023. The land area will be annexed into the City in April 2024. The Specific Plan is described in the Housing Element as having the potential to add residential housing unit capacity that will allow the city to fully accommodate its RHNA obligation. The plan area will accommodate approximately 1600 residential housing units, a minimum of 279 of which will be constructed at 30 dwelling units or higher. One-third of the units (or approximately 500 units) are zoned for medium density residential which is anticipated to provide for moderate income, primarily for-sale housing units. Another one-third of the units is zoned for low density residential which is anticipated to provide for above-moderate income housing.

The City partnered with Chelsea Investment Corporation to construct Vista del Robles Phase 1, a 72-unit affordable housing community that opened in early 2024. Located at 310 West Main Street in Woodland, the garden- style, 3-story walk-up features 21 one-bedroom units, 33 two-bedroom units, and 18 three-bedroom units. Vista del Robles was funded by multiple financial partners, including a permanent loan provided by California Community Reinvestment Corporation and disaster area federal tax credits provided by the California Tax Credits Allocation Committee (CTCAC). In addition, the City of Woodland provided a loan of $500,000 and technical assistance to help coordinate the project. Phase 2 of the same project will roughly double the quantity of units on-site.

housing and 60 beds
of temporary
supportive housing.

Support for at least 50
supportive or
transitional housing
units in the
community
at large
Ongoing The City of Woodland and the County of Yolo, in collaboration with local nonprofit Friends of the Mission, funded the construction of the adult-only emergency shelter as part of phase one of a larger East Beamer Way campus that aims to provide comprehensive services for the unhoused. In addition to the emergency shelter, phase two of the campus includes permanent supportive housing units with aid from the State of California Homekey funding in partnership with Dignity Health Woodland Memorial Hospital, Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC), and the Sutter Foundation. Phase three is currently under construction and will provide a live-in substance abuse treatment center with associated services.

The City initiated construction of the 100-bed emergency shelter facility in June 2020. It was occupied in January 2021 when the City turned the keys and land over to Friends of the Mission and shelter operator Fourth & Hope. The Emergency Shelter was followed by 61 permanent supportive manufactured homes that were completed in Fall 2022 and fully occupied by early 2023. 50 of the 61 dwellings are one-bedroom units to serve single clients or those with a partner or with a child, and 11 are two- bedroom units to house families. Five of the units will provide full accessibility, from the street entrance to parking access. Additionally, a 2,800-square-foot community center will provide residents with a community space and some walk-in social services.

Phase three of the campus development is Walter's House substance use disorder treatment facility that broke ground in 2023 and will occupy a new 15,000-square foot building. The new facility will provide expanded services and support for those struggling with drugs, alcohol, and other substances with an 80-bed capacity. Unhoused families, women, and children will “backfill” the current Walter's House facility in Downtown Woodland, which provides desperately needed family shelter here in Yolo County. Walter's House is currently projected to open in Fall 2024.

The City of Woodland applied for and received a $237,750 Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) grant from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) to prepare a plan for the Armfield/Lemen neighborhood area. The Armfield Lemen Avenue Neighborhood Framework Study, completed in October 2023, evaluated multi-modal accessibility, public improvement investments, and future development in the project area. The Framework sets a vision for a safer and more walkable neighborhood; envisions a mix of housing choices including workforce, senior and mixed income; and illustrates improved public spaces and amenities. The plan also evaluated the Yolo County Housing Authority effort to redevelop their existing Donnelly Circle housing site into a mixed income neighborhood. In addition, the City has prioritized funding for the East Main Street Neighborhood Livability Project, an effort to remove highway traffic from the East Main corridor and improve quality of life for the nearby residents that are historically underserved. In March 2024, the City received a $1M federal earmark to work on the project plans, and in February 2024 the City applied for an additional $6M federal RAISE grant to further advance the project.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: May 21, 2024
ITEM #: G.13
SUBJECT: Southeast Area Aquatic Center Project (CIP 19-18) – Approve Plans & Specifications and Authorize Bid
Advertisement

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the project plans and specifications and authorizing bid advertisement for the Southeast Area Aquatic Center Project, CIP 19-18.

Staff Contact:

Ed Wisniewski, Principal Civil Engineer, (530) 661-5975, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The project is currently funded in the Capital Budget at $10.9 million (including the $2 million in Measure F funding allocated at the May 7, 2024, meeting). Development fees earmarked for the new pool have not yet been formally allocated to the project budget, but currently account for close to $4 million. An additional $1.3 million in fees will be generated with the buildout of the Ruby Estates and Merritt Ranch Subdivision projects in Spring Lake. Community fundraising efforts have also generated nearly $1.5 million to date, and staff continue to engage with the community for additional fundraising opportunities.

The project design team, led by LPA Architects, has estimated the construction cost for the new aquatic center at $15.3 million. Staff has identified funding sources to cover all project costs. Those funding sources include development fees, American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds, Measure J, Measure F, the general fund, and community fundraising. Once the actual bid price is known and the City is ready to award a construction contract, staff will return to City Council to request budget authorization for the total project cost.

City Council Priority Goals:

The construction of a new aquatic facility is identified as a priority quality of life initiative within the 2023-2024 City Council Priority Goals.

Background:

The City currently operates one municipal pool, the Charles Brooks Community Swim Center, located adjacent to Woodland High School. The City Council has identified completion of a second community pool as a priority goal. In August 2021, the City Council appointed a subcommittee to work with staff to confirm the recommended project scope and budget. Staff has worked closely with the Council subcommittee to provide the preferred project scope, which includes the following features:
• Competition Swimming Pool
o 10 lanes (25 yards x 25 meters)
o 8 competition lanes (2 warm-up/water aerobics lanes)
o Shallow learn-to-swim lane(s)

In April 2022, LPA architects were awarded the design contract for the new aquatic center after a quality-based selection process. Design commenced in the summer of 2022 with an initial phase of conceptual design and program confirmation. Partway through advanced design development efforts, the geotechnical analysis revealed that the previously planned site for the new aquatics center, at Pioneer High School, contained poor soil conditions for a facility of this nature. Therefore, in June 2023, the City Council approved a recommendation to relocate the aquatic center to the Community & Senior Center, and design continued at the alternative site. A subsequent geotechnical study at the Community Center confirmed that soil conditions were favorable and preparation of the final construction documents proceeded. Permitting efforts by the Yolo County Health Department and the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District are also in process, with final permits likely to be released in the next couple of weeks. Staff is actively engaged with PG&E to obtain the necessary gas and electrical services needed for the operation of the new equipment required at the aquatic center.

Discussion:

Completion of the project plans and specifications marks the end of the design phase of this project, which included initial feasibility studies & public outreach, conceptual planning & programming, schematic designs, engineering and technical studies, and considerable financial planning going back several years. Staff is now requesting City Council approval of the construction documents and authorization to advertise the project for bids. Upon Council approval, the construction documents will be advertised for approximately 30 days, with bid opening scheduled for the end of June. Staff anticipates that the construction contract award will be presented to Council for approval in mid- July. Construction is anticipated to take approximately 15 months, with project completion estimated in Fall of 2025.

Pursuant to CEQA Section 15162, the project improvements are consistent with the prior approved Negative Declaration (SCH #2002122059), Community/Senior Center Community Park) for the 40- acre community park with community/senior center certified on January 21, 2003, and no additional

environmental analysis is required for the project.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the project plans and specifications and authorizing bid advertisement for the Southeast Area Aquatic Center Project, CIP 19-18.
