CONTINGENCY PLAN

1. Labor Disruption Contingency Plan.

a. In the event of a Labor Disruption whereby employees of Company do not perform work for Company at normally anticipated levels or efficiency which affects the ability of Company to provide Collection Services in accordance with this Agreement, Company shall comply with the following provisions:

i. For purposes of this Section, “Labor Disruption” means strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns, sickouts, picketing, lockouts, or other concerted job action.

ii. Within two (2) Business Day hours of notification to Company of a Labor Disruption, Company shall notify the City by telephone and or electronic communication.

iii. From the outset of any Labor Disruption, Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions to minimize disruptions to service, focusing initially on the Collection of putrescible waste to protect public health and safety.

iv. Within seven (7) Business Days of the commencement of a Labor Disruption, Company will provide Essential Collection Services (i.e., collection of putrescible waste as needed and at least once per week from public facilities, such as hospitals, airports, ports and certain government facilities, where a failure to so collect would impede critical public services) in accordance with this Agreement.

In this regard, it is recognized that Company would not be able to provide City with priority over other priority type services required in governmental jurisdictions receiving services from Company and likewise affected by such Labor Disruption, but other such jurisdictional limits are not to receive priority with regard to Essential Collection Services over City.

v. In addition to providing Essential Collection Services within seven (7) Business Days of a Labor Disruption, within ten (10) Business Days of a Labor Disruption, Company shall provide Basic Collection Services (i.e. residential and commercial Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials and Organic Waste, Green Waste Street Piles and Street Sweeping) in accordance with the typical collection intervals (i.e. weekly, twice weekly) as set forth in this Agreement. However, Company will be given additional time regarding missed pickups. City is not to receive priority over other governmental jurisdictions receiving services from Company and likewise affected by such strike, but other such jurisdictional limits are not to receive priority over City with regard to the promptness and/or quality of service provided to City.

vi. Within fifteen (15) Business Days of a Labor Disruption, Company shall provide Bulky Item Collection service and provide for active cleanup of any accumulated waste which has been set out for collection and not properly picked up during the Labor Disruption. These services shall be in addition to the provision of Essential

Collection Services and Basic Collection Services; however, failure to do so shall not be a material breach of this Plan.

vii. In the event Company is unable to provide Collection services in accordance with the schedules, volumes and routing set forth in this Agreement, or the schedules, volumes and routing in this Plan, City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring in outside forces to provide Collection services which are not being provided by Company and charge Company for the reasonable direct and indirect expenses (including administrative and overhead) incurred by City in this regard.

viii. If after thirty (30) days from the commencement of a Labor Disruption there is a continuing Company failure to materially perform the services set forth in this Section, such failure to perform shall be considered a default under Section ___ and City may cancel this Agreement. In such an event, City shall not waive its right to seek damages from Company for any increase in cost of Collection incurred by City as a result of the breach of this Agreement by Company and the consequential election by City to cancel the Agreement and move forward with alternate collection alternatives.

ix. Company may not be able to ensure that Organic Waste are source separated from Solid Waste. Therefore, for the purposes of a Labor Disruption only, Company may commingle Organic Waste and Solid Waste during Collection.

(c) “Residential Unit” shall mean a Residential Premises, excluding Multi-Family Dwellings (both defined in the Agreement).

2. Scope and Scheduling of Services.

(a) Company shall provide Residential Unit with collection, management, transportation, disposal, and treatment of Eligible Materials generated by Residential Units with the City during the term of this Agreement. This is a demand- based service, so the frequency of collections will vary. The parties agree that the HHW Services are designed for the routine and ordinary collection of home generated special materials.

(b) For Residential Units to utilize this service, they must first contact Company to schedule a home collection. Residents can request a home collection of their Eligible Items two different ways:
i.
i. Phone. Residents may call the At Your Door Operations Service Center at the Company provided phone number during Company’s hours of operation Monday through Friday: or.
ii. Website. Residents may go to www.wmatyourdoor.com, which is accessible 24/7;

(c) The Residential Unit must provide their name, address, cross streets, directions, phone number, email address and gate codes (if needed) with an estimate of the types and quantity of Eligible Materials to be collected. Company then provides the Residential Unit with a specific date for their home collection.

(d) Depending on the Eligible Materials to be collected, Company may send the Residential Unit a collection kit after scheduling collection. The collection kit consists of a plastic containment bag, plastic cable tie, and an instruction sheet and may also include a cable tie, labels and/or survey. Residential Units that only have electronics, vehicle batteries and unbroken fluorescent lamps do not need, and will not be sent, a collection kit because such items can be collected without being placed in the containment bag; however, the resident must follow the instructions provided. Each Residential Unit is solely responsible for removing any and all data and personal information from any Eligible Materials prior to collection.

(e) The Residential Unit must adhere to the instructions provided and place their Eligible Materials at the front door or in the front of their garage where materials are visible and accessible by 7:00am on the scheduled collection day. Company will not enter the premises, which include homes, garages, basements, or sheds to gather or remove any materials. Additional instructions may apply based on applicable regulations.

(f) On the scheduled collection date, Company will collect Eligible Materials that are properly prepared and placed out in a timely manner. In the event that the Eligible Materials are not properly or timely set out for collection, or the materials exceed the pre -arranged quantities to be collected or if the materials are, or contain, Ineligible Materials, Company may reject the materials. In the event Company rejects the materials, Company will provide the Residential Unit with written notification providing information as to the reasons for rejection.

(g) Company may also conduct a survey of the program.
(h) Company and the City each have the right to discontinue the HHW Services by providing the other Party with at least sixty (60) days’ notice. The Parties agree that this right to discontinue applies solely to the HHW Services, and not to any other services described in the Agreement. In the event of such discontinuance, Company’s Rates shall be reduced on the next annual rate adjustment to remove the component of Rates allocated to HHW Services..

3. Allocation of Risk.

(a) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Agreement , Company is not responsible and has no duty to indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless (i) for any Eligible Materials placed out for collection until the items are physically collected by Company, and (ii) any occurrences with Ineligible Materials. Furthermore, title to and liability for Ineligible Materials shall remain with the Residential Unit at all times.

(b) Company is not responsible for any spills or property damage caused by any materials set out for collection by Residential Units unless the spill or property damage is solely the result of Company’s negligence.

(c) The indemnification obligations of this section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

4. Company’s Obligations.

(a) Company will manage Eligible Materials collected from Residential Units in a safe manner in compliance with all valid and applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations.

(b) Company will use disposal facilities that have been issued permits, licenses, certificates or approvals required by valid and applicable laws, ordinances and regulations necessary to allow the facility to accept, treat and /or dispose of Eligible Materials.

(c) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, WM MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES AND

HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTY, WHETHER IMPLIED OR STATUTORY.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: April 15, 2025
ITEM #: G.17
SUBJECT: Approval of a Professional Services Contract for Utility Rate Studies with HDR Engineering, Inc.

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the contract with HDR Engineering, Inc. for preparation of rate studies for the Water, Wastewater and Stormwater systems, authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement, and appropriating $60,000 in the Water Fund (Fund 2210), $54,000 in the Sewer Fund (Fund 2220) and $50,000 in the Storm Drain Fund (Fund 2221).

Staff Contact:

Kim McKinney, Director of Administrative Services, (530) 661-5849, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The total cost for the three rate studies is $180,225. To cover the cost of the contract, additional appropriations are required in the Water Fund (Fund 2220) of $60,000, the Sewer Fund (Fund 2220) of $54,000, and the Storm Drain Fund (Fund 2221) of $50,000.

Discussion:

The last rate studies for water and wastewater were completed in 2021, which ultimately ended up with the adoption of a five-year rate adjustment plan for each of the two rates. The approved water rates resulted in an annual adjustment of 3%, which began in January 2022. The approved sewer rates did not include an adjustment in the first of the five years, and each year thereafter included an annual 2% adjustment. Since the completion of these rates, the costs of ongoing operations have changed and, in many cases, are not reflective of the amounts used in the rate studies. Staff anticipate completing these studies in the next few months and, if approved, the rates would be effective in January 2026.

The City's stormwater rates were approved in 1997 and have not changed since that time. The rates do not allow for any annual inflationary adjustments, and an attempt to adjust the rates in 2007 was unsuccessful. State regulations have changed over time, requiring additional processes and projects that were not contemplated when rates were approved 28 years ago. The process for adopting rates for stormwater is different from the process for adopting rates for water and sewer. Because a rate study has not been completed for this utility in many years, staff anticipates completing the rate study over the next few months and will reassess and determine the timing for a potential rate adjustment later this year.

HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) has assisted the City with the last three rate studies and is familiar with the City's rate components, design and operations. The proposed contract with HDR includes developing the rate studies for each of the three utilities, accounting for operating costs, capital projects, debt financing and allocation and distribution of costs among classes of customers throughout the City. HDR will also provide documentation and assistance with the required processes under Proposition 218, and public outreach, as necessary.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, approving the contract with HDR Engineering, Inc. for preparation of rate studies for the Water, Wastewater and Stormwater systems, authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement, and appropriating $60,000 in the Water Fund (Fund 2210), $54,000 in the Sewer Fund (Fund 2220) and $50,000 in the Storm Drain Fund (Fund 2221).

SUBJECT: Accept a Petition to Prepare a General Plan
Amendment and Approve a Professional Services
Agreement with AECOM for Associated
Environmental Review

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution No. ____, accepting the petition from Clark Pacific Structural, LLC and Bayer Research and Development (PLNG 24-00040), for the preparation of a General Plan amendment; directing staff to undertake evaluations and provide subsequent recommendations regarding: 1) an amendment to the City's General Plan Policy 2.A.1 pertaining to the Urban Limit Line; and 2) the placement of a proposed amendment to the Woodland Urban Limit Line Initiative (Measure A) on the November 2026 ballot; and, authorizing the City Manager to execute an Agreement for Fund Advancement with the project applicants, outlining specific payment terms for processing of this application; and
2) Adopt Resolution No. ____, approving a contract agreement with AECOM in the amount of $119,203 for the preparation of the associated environmental review, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement and amendments, as necessary, up to twenty percent (20%) of the agreement amount.

Staff Contact:

Erika Bumgardner, Deputy Director of Community Development, (530) 661-5886, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

There will be no General Fund impact associated with processing application PLNG 24-00040. All application processing costs will be covered by the project applicants through a project funding agreement. As part of the project evaluation, any potential service, facility and/or maintenance costs associated with the proposed public utility extensions will be identified. Upon conclusion of project evaluation, staff will bring forward with its General Plan Amendment recommendation any necessary Services Agreements to address those costs. All service connections will be subject to city connection fees as will be outlined in the Services Agreements.

Report in Brief:

The City Council is being asked to consider a request from Bayer and Clark Pacific, two companies located outside the voter-approved 2006 Urban Limit Line (ULL), to extend City water, recycled water, and sewer services to their facilities. This request necessitates amending the City's General Plan Policy 2.A.1 and placing an amendment to the Woodland Urban Limit Line Initiative (Measure A) on the November 2026 ballot for voter approval, as current policy and the initiative language restrict service extensions beyond the ULL. Staff recommends initiating this process by accepting the applicants' petition for a General Plan amendment and directing staff to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed service extension against the intent of the ULL, including impacts on agricultural land, city infrastructure capacity, environmental considerations, and necessary service agreements to cover potential future service, facility, and maintenance costs associated with the utility extensions. To facilitate this evaluation, staff also recommend approving a contract with AECOM for $119,203 to prepare the associated environmental review. All application processing

costs, including the AECOM contract, will be fully covered by the project applicants through a Fund Advancement Agreement.

Background:

In June 2006, Woodland voters approved a permanent Urban Limit Line (ULL) that established a maximum footprint for the City of Woodland consistent with the City's General Plan. The ULL prevents city expansion beyond this border and can only be amended or repealed by a majority of voters of Woodland (see attached Urban Limit Line Initiative).

In February 2025, the City received a request from Bayer and Clark Pacific, two companies currently located and operating outside the ULL, to extend specific City services — water, recycled water, and sewer/wastewater — to their facilities (see attached ULL and facilities location map).

The attached application narrative highlights the current infrastructure limitations faced by both companies. Both rely on well water for potable and industrial purposes and septic systems for wastewater. Bayer also operates a retention pond for specific wastewater streams. Bayer's well water contains high levels of nitrates and boron, requiring treatment to meet EPA standards and buffering to safeguard sensitive equipment. With their septic system and retention pond at maximum capacity and expansion being economically impractical, Bayer's growth is constrained. Clark Pacific faces similar challenges. The growing demand for their prefabricated building systems is straining their existing water and septic infrastructure, impeding the potential for future company and product expansion. Combined, Bayer and Clark Pacific employ over 150 Woodland residents.

Current language within the City's General Plan Policy 2.A.1 explicitly prohibits the extension of public services beyond the permanent ULL, reflecting the provisions of the Woodland Urban Limit Line Initiative (Measure A). The ULL Initiative language contains a similar restriction. Consequently, Bayer and Clark Pacific are requesting that the City Council consider amending General Plan Policy

2.A.1 and placing a proposed amendment to the ULL Initiative on the November 2026 ballot to allow for the extension of water, recycled water, and sewer services to their properties subject to voter approval.

Discussion:

Based on the preceding background information, it is recommended the City Council instruct staff to analyze the proposed General Plan policy amendment and ballot initiative and return with a formal recommendation. If directed, staff will evaluate the requested service extension against the intent of the General Plan policy and the 2006 Urban Limit Line (ULL) Initiative, particularly its goals for preserving agricultural land beyond the growth boundary. This evaluation will include an assessment of city water and sewer capacity to serve the proposed commercial development outside the ULL, considering projected growth within the ULL, as well as probable infrastructure alignment and potential environmental impacts associated with providing these services. Staff will also evaluate the city's sewer and water rate studies to determine the impact on rates and the need for service agreements to address any associated city costs. Following this comprehensive assessment, staff will present a recommendation for amended policy and ULL Initiative language to the Planning Commission and City Council as provided for in Title 17 of the Woodland Municipal Code. Any potential changes to the ULL Initiative may only be approved by a vote of the citizens of Woodland, and if approved by the City Council would be put on a future ballot. Staff anticipates that this measure would be placed on the ballot for the November 2026 election, if approved by Council.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution No. ____, accepting the petition from Clark Pacific Structural, LLC and Bayer Research and Development (PLNG 24-00040), for the preparation of a General Plan amendment;

directing staff to undertake evaluations and provide subsequent recommendations regarding: 1) an amendment to the City's General Plan Policy 2.A.1 pertaining to the Urban Limit Line; and 2) the placement of a proposed amendment to the Woodland Urban Limit Line Initiative (Measure A) on the November 2026 ballot; and, authorizing the City Manager to execute an Agreement for Fund Advancement with the project applicants, outlining specific payment terms for processing of this application; and
2) Adopt Resolution No. ____, approving a contract agreement with AECOM in the amount of $119,203 for the preparation of the associated environmental review, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement and amendments, as necessary, up to twenty percent (20%) of the agreement amount.

One AECOM biologist will conduct a reconnaissance-level survey of the utility extension alignments with an AECOM archeologist. We assume this survey will take up to two days. The purpose of the reconnaissance-level survey would be to characterize and map biological resources consistent with the
Yolo Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Communities Conservation Plan. We assume no need for any evaluation of the application of any avoidance and minimization measures from the HCP, any protocol survey, or any more detailed biological resources assessment, and that AECOM will conduct the field

work within the public right-of-way of each road, as we understand that utility extensions would occur within the existing public-right-of way. The potential presence of any plant, animal, or habitat considered sensitive, threatened, endangered, or otherwise unique by the United States Fish and Wildlife Services or California Department of Fish and Wildlife would be evaluated. This information would inform the supplemental assessment of impacts on biological resources, including effects on special-status species.

TASK 2.1: DELIVERABLES
 None. The survey findings will be incorporated into the Supplemental EIR as part of the resource impact analysis and/or an appendix.

Task 2.2: Cultural Resources Survey
AECOM will request an updated California Historical Resources Information System records search and search of the sacred lands list from the Native American Heritage Commission to inform the cultural resources survey for the utility extension alignments. AECOM archaeologist will conduct a reconnaissance-level survey of the proposed alignments with the AECOM biologist. The purpose of the site visit will be to identify any archaeological sites or historic resources. Given the location of the utility extensions along the public right-of-way of roads and the highly disturbed nature of this environment, this scope of work assumes no new cultural resources will be identified during the survey; therefore, it is assumed that there will be no need to record resources in a manner consistent with the Office of Historic Preservation’s publication Instructions for Recording Historical Resources (1993) or prepare California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Series 523 forms. It is assumed the cultural resources field work will take no more than two days and will occur after receipt of the records search.

TASK 2.2: DELIVERABLES
 None. The survey findings will be incorporated into the Supplemental EIR as part of the resource impact analysis and/or an appendix.

TASK 3 NOP AND SCOPING
AECOM will prepare a notice of preparation to submit to the State Clearinghouse and attend a scoping meeting for the project.

TASK 3: DELIVERABLES
 Draft Notice of Preparation
 Final Notice of Preparation
 Attendance at 1 scoping meeting for up to two AECOM staff TASK 4 SUPPLEMENTAL EIR
AECOM will prepare an Administrative Draft Supplemental General Plan and CAP EIR based on the latest Environmental Checklist (Appendix G) from the CEQA Guidelines pursuant to Pursuant to Section 15163(a)(1)(2)1 after the Applicants and City review the Draft outline in Task 1. The Supplemental EIR

1 Any of the conditions described in Section 15162 would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR and only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the

will evaluate a proposed amendment to General Plan Policy 2.A.1 (proposed project), which would constitute a change to the project (current General Plan) and only minor additions or changes are necessary to make the previous General Plan and CAP EIR adequate to the changes of the proposed project. The proposed project would need to be approved by the vote of the people2 (anticipated in November 2026). The proposed project would permit the extension of sewer, water, and recycled water utility facilities to serve existing commercial businesses on parcels within a mile of the Urban Limit Line (ULL) and in operation on or prior to November 3, 2026.

The Supplemental EIR would address the potential utility extensions to two existing businesses if the ballot measure passes, to provide decision makers with the understanding of potentially significant environmental impacts and if they differ from those identified in the existing General Plan and CAP EIR.

These two existing businesses are Bayer U.S. Crop Science, LLC (located at 37437 CA-16, Woodland, CA 95695) and Clark Pacific (located at 40600 County Road 18C, Woodland, CA 95776 on the historic Spreckles Sugar and Best Ranch property). It is AECOM’s understanding the ballot measure language could allow other businesses in operation on or prior to November 3, 2026 outside the ULL to pursue utility extensions and that the ballot measure would not require either Bayer or Clark Pacific to extend utility facilities and services.

The Supplemental EIR will include a project description of the proposed amendment to General Plan Policy 2.A.1, and activities associated with extension of utilities. Relevant project approvals and responsible agencies will be identified. The project description will incorporate the following information:
 Construction of utility extensions would require ground disturbance along underground pipeline alignment(s) and this disturbance would primarily occur within the public right-of-way of roads and therefore have a low potential for sensitive biological resources or significant cultural resources.
 Extension of utility pipelines may require appurtenant facilities needed to operate the pipelines (e.g., wastewater lift stations) which would also occur in previously disturbed areas and within existing business footprints and therefore have a low likelihood of sensitive biological resources or significant cultural resources.
 Extension of utility pipelines for each business would likely be less than one mile (Clark Pacific less than one mile; Bayer sewer less than one mile and water at 0.6 miles).  Extension of utility pipelines may not occur at the same time and the extension of utilities depends on timing to be determined by each business.
 There may be decommissioning of existing water wells and wastewater utility facilities at the two existing businesses, but at this time it is unknown if Clark Pacific will decommission wells, and Bayer will continue to need well water for irrigation.
 The proposed project would not alter existing County land use designations or zoning and would not provide the City of Woodland land use entitlement authority over any new land area.

changed situation. A supplement to an EIR needs to contain the information necessary to make the previous EIR adequate for the project as revised.
2 The City’s ultimate boundaries are circumscribed by a permanent ULL established by a vote of the people in 2006.

The approved initiative placed restrictions on the provision of services outside of the ULL. The ULL boundary and provisions of services outside the ULL may only be modified by another vote by the people.

The Supplemental EIR will be concise, given that it would be a supplement to the existing City General Plan and CAP EIR to evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with amending Policy 2.A.1.

The Supplemental EIR will focus on the resource topics presented below. Any environmental and regulatory setting for each resource area would only be included where relevant to potential impacts associated with amendment to Policy 2.A.1 and extension of utilities. Information from the City’s General Plan, State regulatory plans, environmental databases, and field investigations, as further detailed below, will inform the analyses. AECOM assumes that applicable environmental policies and implementation programs developed for the General Plan will be applied to the extension of utilities in order to reduce or avoid potentially significant impacts.

It is anticipated that the Supplemental EIR will not include a full evaluation of the following resources and these will be dismissed up front in the Supplemental EIR with a short justification: aesthetics, transportation and circulation, minerals, public services, recreation and wildfire. The impact evaluations for most resources in the Supplemental EIR, except utilities and service systems, would be primarily focused on construction, as during operations, the utility expansions would have minimal to no impact on other resources (e.g., cultural resources, agricultural resources, hydrology and water quality resources, hazards and hazardous materials), and as we anticipate relatively minor changes to operations related to the potential utility extensions. The impact evaluations would also note the previous applicable impact determinations made in the General Plan and CAP EIR and would describe any changes to the existing General Plan and CAP EIR impact evaluations that would be needed to describe impacts attributable to the anticipated General Plan amendment.

AECOM will review scoping comments received during the scoping period and will prepare a short scoping memo for the City’s record summarizing the scoping comments and how any CEQA issues raised are addressed in the EIR.

AECOM assumes the Applicants will review the Administrative Draft Supplemental EIR and provide one set of consolidated comments to the City for their review and consideration. AECOM also assumes that City staff, including Community Development Department staff and the City Attorney, will review the Administrative Draft Supplemental EIR and provide one set of consolidated comments, in addition to those provided by the applicants.

Agricultural Resources
The agricultural resources section would describe existing resources within the utility extension alignments, including a description of types of farming activities, and a description of on-site soils relative to their suitability for farming activities. Analysis would note that the utility extension alignments would not result in any changes to the existing agricultural resources. AECOM would discuss potential utility extension as a “other change in the existing environment” under the Appendix G Checklist question: Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use” and will qualitatively discuss the potential indirect effects of utility extensions beyond the ULL on existing agricultural uses and will note the speculative nature of attempting to identify what other types of businesses may request a utility extension under the amended Policy 2.A.1 and then what type of conversion could occur. AECOM assumes our analysis will rely on existing data and not require the preparation of a Land Evaluation & Site Assessment analysis, soil testing and characterization of agricultural suitability, or estimates of Storie soil quality rating. AECOM assumes no evaluation of forestry resources because none exist.

Air Quality
This section would reference the regional and local air quality conditions and applicable air quality regulations and standards detailed in the General Plan and CAP EIR and will supplement with any changes since the time that analysis was written. The analysis will provide a quantitative estimate of air

pollutant emissions during construction of the utility extensions using the CalEEMod default assumptions for linear projects for calculating construction emissions. AECOM will prepare a qualitative air quality emissions analysis describing the operation of existing utilities (e.g., groundwater well pumping) and proposed project conditions (e.g., connected to City water supply) and what we anticipate to be minor anticipated changes in operations at the two subject facilities.

Biological Resources
This section would be informed by the reconnaissance survey and other information gathered under Task

2.1, above. This section would summarize specific information on previously documented local occurrences of special-status plants and wildlife species on or near the utility alignments, including information obtained from California Natural Diversity Database and the California Native Plant Society’s Electronic Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants and from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for species protected under the Federal Endangered Species Act. The potential presence of any plant, animal, or habitat considered sensitive, threatened, endangered, or otherwise unique by the USFWS or California Department of Fish and Wildlife, as detailed in a Biological Resources Assessment (Task 2.1 above) would be evaluated. Relevant guidance for biological resources, in the form of mitigating policies and implementation programs from the City’s General Plan, would be added as conditions of approval for the extension of utilities, as appropriate.

Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
No historical resources were determined to be associated with the Planning Area during preparation of the General Plan and CAP EIR, and no prehistoric resources have been recorded in Woodland. However, the prehistoric occupation of the central districts of the North Coast Ranges makes it possible that unknown archaeological sites and paleontological resources could be present within, or areas affected by utility extensions. For this reason, AECOM archaeologists will conduct a reconnaissance-level survey, as described above for Task 2.2.

AECOM will submit a request to the Native American Heritage Commission for a list of potentially interested Native American Tribal representatives for SB 18 and AB 52 consultation and a search of the Sacred Lands File for the areas affected by utility extensions. AECOM will collect additional contact information for Native American Tribal representatives from the City, and we will also add contact information we have used in the past for City projects. AECOM will draft a letter inviting consultation for City staff review and revise the draft letter based on one set of comments from City staff. We will address the letter inviting consultation to each Native American Tribal representative and send out the letter on behalf of the City. AECOM will attend one consultation meeting, if necessary, which we assume to require up to four hours of time from a senior AECOM archaeologist. AECOM will include a brief summary of the consultation process in the Supplemental General Plan EIR.

This section would summarize identified cultural resources, based on information gathered from the records search and a Cultural Resources Survey (Task 2.2). A discussion of impacts and mitigation measures would focus on significant (per NRHP/CRHR criteria) documented resources, identify the potential for as-yet unrecorded cultural resources or tribal cultural resources to be affected by construction, and identify uniformly applied development standards from the City’s General Plan and EIR that would reduce impacts. The scope assumes that the decommissioning of existing utility facilities at Clark Pacific would have no effect on historic buildings, properties, or structures.

Energy
This section would succinctly describe the energy used during construction and describe that under operating conditions the existing businesses would not interfere with the implementation of state or local

plans for renewable energy or energy efficiency. The analysis would identify policies and standards of the City’s General Plan and Climate Action Plan that would be applicable under construction and operation.

Geology, Soils, and Paleontological Resources
The geologic and palaeontologic setting of the vicinity of utility expansion alignment would be briefly described, primarily referencing the seismic setting, soil characteristics, and topography information and would focus on the construction impacts associated with installing the utility extensions. The analysis would reference County of Yolo requirements of decommissioning water wells, septic systems, or retention ponds. Relevant guidance for paleontological resources, in the form of mitigating policies and implementation programs from the City’s General Plan, would be added as conditions of approval for the extension of utilities, as appropriate.

Greenhouse Gases
This section would also provide a brief overview of greenhouse gases and the relationship between local actions and global climate change, primarily referencing the General Plan and CAP EIR. The analysis will provide a quantitative estimate of GHG emissions during construction of the utility extensions based on typical mixes of construction equipment confirmed by the City and/or Applicants. The section would explain how the anticipated utility extensions would not alter the anticipated development capacity for the City within the City’s planning horizon, and thereby would not result in a change in total annual emissions assumed as analyzed under the General Plan and CAP EIR. The section would identify the General Plan and CAP mitigating policies and implementation measures that would reduce potential emissions and describe how consistency with the General Plan and CAP, as reviewed and updated on a regular basis, will ensure that future development provides its fair share of emissions reductions for consistency with local and State greenhouse gas reduction targets.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Geotracker and Envirostor will be searched along the utility extension alignments. Standard management practices handling hazards and hazardous materials such as fuel during construction will be incorporated into the analysis. It is assumed that utility extensions would not increase in hazards or hazardous materials handled at the existing locations and that the Applicants would continue to handle all materials pursuant to all existing regulations.

Hydrology and Water Quality
This section would summarize existing surface and groundwater resources, and surface and subsurface hydrologic conditions and water quality conditions, in the vicinity of the utilities expansion alignments and would qualitatively discuss the types of impacts that could occur during construction. The analysis would reference County of Yolo requirements of decommissioning water wells, septic systems, or retention ponds.

Land Use and Planning/Population/Housing
The amendment to General Plan Policy 2.A.1 and the utility expansion would not physically divide an established community. This section would briefly describe the existing land uses and the lack of potential land use and planning-related effects. Since there is no proposed land use designation change or development, and since policy consistency is not a CEQA issue, no policy evaluation is needed. Land use compatibility issues, such as noise or air pollutant emissions, would be addressed in separate environmental topic sections of the Supplemental EIR. Analysis of non-CEQA, LAFCo-specific issues would not be included in the Supplemental EIR. The section would explain how the amended General Plan Policy 2.A.1 and the utility expansion would not alter the anticipated development capacity for the

City within the City’s planning horizon, and thereby would not result in a change in population or housing.

Noise and Vibration
The noise and vibration section would identify if there are noise or vibration sensitive uses along the utility extension alignments and would describe potential temporary increases in noise during construction using standard construction equipment typically used for pipeline construction. Applicable General Plan noise thresholds would be provided. The section would explain that the amendment to General Plan Policy 2.A.1 would not change existing or planned land uses or result in other sources of noise and therefore would have no impacts related to noise. Relevant guidance, in the form of mitigating policies and implementation programs from the City’s General Plan, would be added as conditions of approval for the extension of utilities, as appropriate.

Utilities
The analysis will compare water and wastewater demands of the two businesses with the information contained in the General Plan and CAP EIR and EIR-referenced planning and capital improvement documents. The comparisons for potable water, recycled water, and sewer services will demonstrate that existing and future utility needs of Bayer or Clark Pacific would not require further expansion of water or wastewater systems beyond what the City previously evaluated and disclosed in the General Plan and CAP EIR.

Other CEQA Required Sections, Including Growth Inducing Effects Direct and indirect growth inducing effects were evaluated in the General Plan and CAP EIR and will be evaluated in the Supplemental EIR. Information from the General Plan and CAP EIR Chapter 6, Other CEQA Considerations, describes that CEQA Guidelines (Section 15126.2[d]) Section, 6.2, Growth- Inducing Effects, of the General Plan and CAP EIR, will be referenced and will provide context for the evaluation of the growth inducing effects of amending Policy 2.A.1. The analysis will describe the ballot initiative criteria and the likelihood that additional operation of the Applicants could apply and then briefly and qualitatively evaluate possible effects associated with such changes of the Applicants expanding their current businesses but not speculate without details of potential expansions or knowledge of possible growth-inducing impacts. The analysis would analysis requirements for various resources should additional businesses elect to extend utilities, consistent with existing regulations (e.g., Yolo County, Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District, California Department of Fish & Wildlife, California Air Resources Board, Regional Water Quality Control Board, etc.). We assume no new alternatives or alternatives analysis is needed.

Franklin Cui, Housing Analyst II – 530-661-2019, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The $1,700,000 loan will be funded through the Affordable Housing Assistance Trust Fund (1326).

Roughly $1.8 million in affordable housing funds was recently made available in Fund 1326 as a result of a property sale and subsequent loan payoff back to the City for the Fair Plaza East affordable housing project.

The City-owned land at the 2.6-acre northwest portion of West Main Street and Ashley Avenue was purchased by the City in 2024. The fair market value of the land provided to Chelsea Investment Corporation (Chelsea) in the seller carryback transaction will be determined by third-party appraisal.

Background:

Chelsea Investment Corporation, a California developer of multifamily affordable housing projects, was awarded more than $26,000,000 in Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits last year by the California Tax Credit and Allocation Committee for the Phase I construction of a 72-unit multifamily rental project (Vista Del Robles) on a portion of the 5.73-acre site at 310 West Main Street (near the northwest corner of West Main Street and Ashley Avenue). Construction on this Phase I stage of the overall site was completed in April 2024.

In September 2024, the City Council authorized the purchase of 2.6 acres of vacant land at the northwest corner of W. Main Street and Ashley Avenue, in anticipation of Chelsea’s development of a second phase consisting of up to 96 additional affordable units (Vista Del Robles Phase II).

The acquired site is one of the best infill housing sites available due to its proximity to services and transit, and as such has the potential to fulfill one of the many needs for affordable housing in the City’s General Plan 2035. Additionally, it is listed as one of the City housing opportunities sites within the housing element and is important for allowing the City the ability to meet its State-required Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Chelsea is seeking City funding in combination with Tax-Exempt Bonds and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) in order to finance the development of Vista Del Robles Phase II.

Discussion:

In January 2025, Chelsea submitted a Letter of Interest (LOI) to the City of Woodland, proposing the development of Phase II, a 96-unit affordable housing project (28 one-bedroom, 44 two-bedroom, and 24 three-bedroom at 30-80% Area Median Income). The current amenities already in Phase I will be available to residents of Phase II. These include a community building and lounge, computer lab, kitchen, storage, mailboxes, and outdoor fitness stations. Additionally, on-site recreational amenities available to residents include; tot-lots, a half-court basketball area, and a splash pad/zero-depth water feature.

With respect to service amenities, Pacific Southwest Community Development Corporation (PSCDC), a non-profit resident services provider with 26 years of experience, will provide services for the project. These include educational, health, and wellness and skill-building classes for adults, as well as an after-school program for children. Financing for Phase II is contingent upon a successful allocation of tax credits from CTCAC.

Tax credits allow affordable housing sponsors and developers to raise project equity through the sale of tax benefits to investors. The award of tax credits through CTCAC is a competitive process among projects statewide. The successful projects with the highest scores are typically those with a higher ratio of public subsidy compared to the cost of the project. The point structure advantages applications that show evidence of leveraging public and private funds. Public land loans, fee waivers, funds raised by third-party donors, and agency contributions are all items that increase final scores.

Under the terms of the proposed Disposition, Development, and Loan Agreement (DDLA) for Vista Del Robles Phase 2, staff recommend the City Council approve a loan in the amount of $1,700,000 to assist the project. The loan will be funded through the City’s Affordable Housing Assistance Trust Fund (1326) and sufficient revenues are available for the loan. In addition to the $1,700,000 loan, the DDLA will also provide for the conveyance of the property in exchange for a seller carryback loan equal to the fair market value of the land. The City, as owner/seller of the 2.6-acre vacant land at the northwest corner of W. Main Street and Ashley Avenue, will carry-back the value of the land to Chelsea to convey site control. The terms of both the $1,700,000 loan and the seller carryback loan will bear 3% simple interest payable through residual receipts with a 55-year loan term.

With the same residual receipts provision as Phase I included in the City loan agreement, Chelsea will be required to share a portion of any profit (residual receipts) it generates each year. The payment will go towards paying down the accrued interest on the loans and is available for the City to use on other affordable housing projects. A regulatory agreement and declaration of restrictive covenants will be recorded for Vista Del Robles Phase II to ensure the continued affordability of the development for a term of not less than 55 years. Pursuant to the terms of the regulatory agreement,

Vista Del Robles Phase II will make the multifamily rental units available at the following affordability levels:

The City will annually monitor the project's affordability and charge a $2,000 annual fee subject to a three percent adjustment each year to defray staff costs for monitoring.

With the foregoing terms, the City of Woodland and Chelsea, with respect to the development of Vista Del Robles Phase II, are in alignment with the housing element of the General Plan 2035 for the City’s goals in affordable housing. Vista Del Robles Phase II serves as an important milestone in the implementation of the City’s General Plan goals for the provision of affordable housing.

Therefore, the City’s dedication of the property and allocation of $1,700,000 is a commitment towards and is contingent upon the project's financing with tax credit allocation in subsequent funding rounds at CTCAC.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. , 1) Approving an appropriation of $1,700,000 from the Affordable Housing Assistance Trust Fund (1326) and authorizing the Finance Officer to amend the Fiscal Year 2025 budget as necessary; 2) Authorizing the City to enter into a Disposition, Development, and Loan Agreement (DDLA) with Chelsea Investment Corporation (“Chelsea”) to convey the property located at 310 West Main Street to Chelsea for the development of affordable housing;
3) Approving a fifty-five year residual receipts loan in the amount of $1,700,000 with three percent (3%) simple interest for Chelsea’s 96-unit multifamily affordable rental project at 310 West Main Street;
4) Approving an additional seller carryback loan with the aforementioned terms for the transfer of property site control from the City to Chelsea at the 2.6-acre portion of city-owned land at 310 West Main Street;
5) Authorizing the City to enter into a regulatory agreement and declaration of restrictive covenants with Chelsea for the 310 West Main Street project to ensure the affordability of the project for a term of not less than 55 years, and
6) Authorizing the City Manager to execute the Disposition, Development, and Loan Agreement (DDLA) and regulatory agreement in a form as prepared and approved by the City Attorney and take such other actions and execute such documents as necessary to convey the subject property to Chelsea, make the City loans and ensure the affordability of the project.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: April 15, 2025
ITEM #: G.20
SUBJECT: Introduce and Waive the First Reading of an
Ordinance Revising Sections within Chapter 8.20,
“Fire Prevention and Emergency Services,” to Title 8
of the Woodland Municipal Code

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends the City Council introduce and waive the first reading of the ordinance revising sections within Chapter 8.20, “Fire Prevention and Emergency Services,” to Title 8 of the Woodland Municipal Code.

Staff Contact:

Eric Zane, Fire Chief, (530) 661-5860, [email protected]

Background:

The purpose of this agenda item is to further clarify the definition of “Host” as anyone in possession of illegal fireworks, including:

1. An owner of any private residential or non-residential real property in the City; or

2. A person who has the right to use, possess, or occupy public or private property under a lease, permit, license, rental agreement, or contract; or

3. A person who hosts, organizes, supervises, officiates, conducts, or accepts responsibility for a gathering on public or private property.

Discussion:

Code Amendments:

In April 2024 the Woodland City Council updated and adopted Chapter 8.20 of the Woodland Municipal Code. The chapter was updated to help curb the use of illegal fireworks by allowing anyone willing to report a violation of the ordinance, resulting in a $1,000 fine per device. Since adoption, there has been a reduction in the use of illegal fireworks in our community. The proposed revision would further clarify that the $1,000 fine may be applied to anyone in possession of illegal fireworks, and also further clarifies who may issue the civil penalty and fines.

Currently, “Safe and Sane” fireworks are only permitted to be used beginning on June 28th and ending on July 6th. The ordinance revision will further define the hours that “Safe and Sane” fireworks are permitted to be used and sold.

In addition to the aforementioned changes, there are several amendments to enhance clarity, following the recommendations of the City Attorney.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends the City Council introduce and waive the first reading of the ordinance revising sections within Chapter 8.20, “Fire Prevention and Emergency Services,” to Title 8 of the Woodland Municipal Code.

WHEREAS, fireworks are dangerous to people and are known to routinely cause temporary and permanent injury to the person setting it off, spectators, and innocent or unknowing bystanders; and
WHEREAS, fireworks are dangerous to property and are known to routinely cause immense damage to personal property and real property by spiraling out of control, becoming projectiles breaking things and starting fires; and
WHEREAS, fireworks are dangerous to the public health, safety and general welfare for being known ignitions for wildfires, which the property in the State is increasingly susceptible to, an example of which is the recent Palisades fire likely to have been started by New Years fireworks that led to billions of dollars in damage, destroyed nearly 7,000 homes and damages over 1,000 homes; and
WHEREAS, State law and regulations, particularly the State Fireworks Law, Health and Safety Code section 12500 et seq., and State Fire Marshall regulations pertaining to fireworks, Title 19 California Code of Regulations, Chapter 6 “Fireworks”, generally prohibit the sale, offer for sale, possession, or discharge of fireworks, with few exceptions like for “Safe and Sane” fireworks; and

Ken Hiatt, City Manager, (530) 661-5800, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this recommendation. To the extent that identified priority projects and initiatives require resources beyond those currently appropriated, staff will return to City Council for subsequent actions as necessary.

Background:

Goals and priorities set by the City Council provide structure as the City assesses progress made to address the most important issues facing the community. Additionally, clear priorities help direct the City's limited resources towards those initiatives and programs that contribute most directly to the outcomes prioritized by the Council.

Discussion of and consensus on priorities, resource allocation, and key areas of focus among Council Members, City staff, and community members fuels progress towards these goals. To this end, the Council held a public Study Session on March 8, 2025 to review and update its Priority Goals and Strategic Plan for the coming year. Staff presented both narrative and quantitative updates on progress made in calendar year 2024 to assist in the discussion.

Discussion:

The March 8th Study Session resulted in proposed updates to the City Council's goals and strategic actions informed by the Council's review of progress on the prior two-year goals and consideration of challenges and opportunities on the horizon. With the context of increasing budgetary challenges ahead, the City Council's focus during the study session centered around strategies to manage costs, improve efficiencies, strengthen and diversify the local economy, as well as continue to cultivate stronger civic engagement in supporting the needs of our community. The updated City Council Priority Goals and Strategic Plan integrates the following proposed changes reflective of these considerations:

Focus on Economic Development & Downtown

• Complete comprehensive zoning update (removed – effort completed in 2024).

Priority Initiatives Added:
• Incentivize economic growth in sectors that generate substantial sales tax revenue.

Strengthen Public Safety & Infrastructure
Initiatives Amended:
• Complete design and cost estimating for the construction of a fire station at Gibson Road and Bourn Drive (amended for accuracy); and

Priority Initiatives Added:
