SUBJECT:

Preliminary Quarterly Investment Report for June 2022.

DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
This report represents the Town’s investment portfolio for the quarter ending June 30, 2022. The report includes all Town funds. All investments are in compliance with the Town’s adopted Investment Policy.

The Town’s investments are guided by an Investment Policy, which is reviewed and approved by the Council annually. The Investment Policy was last approved by the Town Council on June 21, 2022. The policy directs that investment goals, in order by priority, are safety, liquidity, and yield. This conservative approach ensures assets are available for use while also allowing the Town to earn additional resources on idle funds. The Town currently participates in the State investment pool known as the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF).

LAIF began in 1977 as an investment alternative for California’s local governments and special districts and is administered by the State of California’s Treasurer. The enabling legislation for LAIF is Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code.

This program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the Treasurer's Office investment staff at no additional cost to local agencies or taxpayers. LAIF is part of the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA). The PMIA began in 1955 and oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an in-house Investment Committee. The PMIB members are the State Treasurer, State Director of Finance, and State Controller.

The Town established a Section 115 Trust for Other Post-Employment Benefits and Pension Rate Stabilization with Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). Town Council adopted a moderate investment strategy and funds are invested in a diversified portfolio. The interest rates shown are for the quarter reported.

All Town funds are invested in accordance with the approved Investment Policy with an emphasis on safety, liquidity and yield (in that order). The Town’s investment strategy of balancing the investment portfolio between short-term investments (to meet cash flow needs) and longer-term maturities (to realize a higher rate of return) is appropriate given the current market conditions.

The investment portfolio will continue to be closely monitored to ensure the avoidance of risk and to respond to changes in market conditions. This staff report is presented as informational.

Yountville Town Council Staff Report
DATE: August 2, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Celia King, Finance Director
PREPARED BY: Kyle Batista, Financial Analyst
SUBJECT:

Preliminary Monthly Financial Report for June 2022.

DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
Monthly financial reports are presented to provide a summary overview of revenues and expenses of the Town’s major funds: General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds.

This report for June 2022 is considered preliminary. Some of the amounts are subject to change as we complete fiscal year-end processes. Invoices pertaining to the prior fiscal year are typically received throughout the month of July and are posted back to June. Similarly, revenues such as TOT, Sales Tax, and Property Taxes relevant to the prior fiscal year are received in July and August and posted back to June.

Another item that affects this report is the year-end true-up conducted with the Veterans Home to determine the true cost of Town water purchases and Veterans Home wastewater treatment.

This report will be brought back to Council once the fiscal year has been closed and the numbers are finalized, which will be once the Town Audit is completed.

The financial reports below reflect the budget adjustments approved at the June 21st, 2022 Council Meeting per Resolution Number 22-4126.

June 2022 – 100% of the Fiscal year
General Fund Revenue
Property Tax – The Town’s FY21/22 Property Tax Revenue will reach the budgeted amount.

Sales Tax – Currently FY21/22 Sales Tax collections are 20.2% ($257,070) above the annual target amount.

TOT – FY21/22 TOT collections are currently 80.7% ($4,236,912) above the annual target amount.

General Fund Expenditures
Expenditures are on track with the Fiscal Year 2021/2022 budget. The target percentage of budget utilization for June is 100.0%. As of July 25th, all departments are either at or below the annual target amount except for the Yountville Arts expense account that is offset by the large amount of unexpected Art Sales revenue collected.

Keep in mind that this is a preliminary June report and as we continue closing out the year, expenditures will be posted back to Fiscal Year 2021/2022.

To claim the State funds for the design and construction of CIP projects, Bureau of Reclamation requires a resolution authorizing the submittal of the application.

Along with the approval to apply for a Bureau of Reclamation Water and Energy Efficiency grant, a blanket resolution authorizing the Town Manager to sign Master Agreements, Program Supplemental Agreements, Fund Exchange Agreements, and/or Fund Transfer Agreements and any subsequent amendments on behalf of the Town will fulfill the requirements for the current and any future funding requirements.

The adoption of this resolution will allow the Town Manager to submit a grant application to the Bureau of Reclamation and sign funding agreements for any approved projects.

Yountville Town Council Staff Report
DATE: August 2, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Julie Baldia, Deputy Director of Human Resources, and IT PREPARED BY: Julie Baldia, Deputy Director of Human Resources, and IT SUBJECT: Approve Resolution Number 22-4144 of the Town Council amending the Yountville Employee Association Mid Management Professional Units Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Section 3 – Salaries and Other Compensation to comply with CalPERS language requirements between the Town and the Yountville Employee Association Mid Management Professional Unit.

DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
The Town of Yountville participates in the CalPERS (California Public Retirement System). All fulltime employees are enrolled in CalPERS as a condition of employment.

One of the roles CalPERS has when an employee retires from the Town is to evaluate all compensation that the employee receives. CalPERS also does a thorough review of any compensation paid to an employee beyond their base pay when calculating an employee's retirement benefits.

Due to a recent retirement of full-time employee, the CalPERS compensation review team revealed that the language that is currently in the YEA Mid-Management and Professional Unit MOU regarding “Special Pay,” pursuant to CCR section 571, the current language does NOT meet the PERL (Public Employee Retirement Law) definition of Confidential Pay and Administrative Specialty Pay. We were notified by CalPERS that the Special Pay provision for the retiree would not be considered and that we would have the ability to amend our MOU with corrected language, meeting PERS standards. Once corrected and approved by the Town Council, the retiree would then be eligible to receive the compensation retroactively. The Town’s intent was to have “special pay” or “other pay” count towards final compensation, as allowed by the appropriate CalPERS appointment, i.e., Classic or PEPRA member.

The current language in Section 3 – Salaries and Other Compensation of the MOU is as follows:

Special Pay
A) Assignment to another classification. An employee assigned by the Town Manager to perform substantially the same duties of a higher paid classification for five (5) days (40 hours) shall receive the rate of pay established for the salary step of the classification of the acting assignment that is a minimum of five percent (5%) greater than the amount the employee is then currently earning.

B) Special Circumstances – Situation Pay. An employee specifically assigned by the Town Manager through a written Payroll Transaction Form (PTF) and position job duties summary on a temporary or longer-term basis to regularly perform work outside of the scope of the employee’s permanent job classification but not performing substantially the duties of another job classification may receive Special Circumstances –Situation Pay at the discretion of the Town Manager. The Town Manager may assign a temporary pay increase rate between 2.5% and 10% depending on the nature of the work performed.

Specific Assignment Duty Pay
An employee so assigned by the Town Manger to an additional specific assignment shall receive additional monthly compensation for serving in such a capacity provided employee performs the duties as assigned.

New language proposed:

Other Pays
A) Management Incentive Pay
Employees in the classifications of Town Clerk, Financial Analyst I/II and Management Analyst I/II shall receive five percent (5%) of their base pay for management incentive pay, when assigned in writing to perform duties managing a designated administrative program(s) and/or managing associated staff as a unique nature of their job.

B) Confidential Pay
Employees in the classifications of Town Clerk, Financial Analyst I/II and Management Analyst I/II shall receive five percent (5%) of their base pay for confidential pay when assigned in writing to perform duties which require them to utilize, access and process confidential information in the performance of their required job duties.

By adding this corrected language, this will allow CalPERS to apply any additional compensation to the retiree’s final compensation calculation. This amendment will be retroactive to any affected employee and effective immediately.

As a side note, no employees in this bargaining unit are currently receiving either of these “other pays.” The Town has met and conferred with the representatives of the Yountville Employee Association Mid Management Professional Unit.

TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding (“Memorandum” or “MOU”) is an agreement between the Town of Yountville hereinafter referred to as “Town,” and the Yountville Employee Association (YEA) Mid Management Professional Unit (MMP).

PURPOSE
The purpose of this agreement is to promote the mutual interests of the Town and the employees, and to provide for the operation of the Town’s facilities under methods which will further, to the fullest extent possible, the safety and welfare of the employees, economy and efficiency of operations, elimination of waste, realization of optimum quality and quantity of product and/or service, cleanliness of facilities and protection of property.

SECTION 1 – UNIT RECOGNITION
The Yountville Employees' Association Mid Management Professional Unit , a recognized employee organization, and the Town of Yountville, a public agency, have been meeting and conferring consistent with Section 3500 of the California Government Code and have reached agreement.

The Town recognizes the Yountville Employee Association Mid Management Professional Unit hereafter as “Association” as the mid management professional employee’s representative of permanent employees employed in the job classifications attached as Appendix “A.”
The scope of representation shall include all matters relating to employment conditions and employer-employee relations including, but not limited to, wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment, except, however, that the scope of representation shall not include consideration of the merits, necessity, or organization of any service or activity provided by law or executive order.

Resolution #22-4117
Expectations for FLSA Exempt Employees
General Office Hours
FLSA-exempt employees are paid on a salary basis and provided with additional administrative leave time. FLSA-Exempt employees are expected to put the hours and work effort in that is necessary to do the job. This may mean sometimes those exempt employees may take work home, come in early or stay late based on workload needs and project completion deadlines. FLSA exempt employees have more flexibility with their work schedule than non-exempt employees. Exempt employee work schedule flexibility is defined by several significant factors: 1) that employees are getting the job “done right” in a timely and appropriate manner; 2) meeting project completion deadlines and established service delivery dates, 3) available to interact with the public, other town staff and external partners as necessary for employee and them to conduct necessary business and 4) respectful and supportive of the Town’s lean organizational staffing structure which often requires availability to shore up the administrative and clerical support staff as necessary and to support their work objectives, and 5) recognition that as a public agency there is the need for public accountability of staff resources and leave benefits provided to employees
Core office hours are the same as the facility in which the employee is based unless otherwise designated or approved by the supervisor or Town Manager. Town Hall is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Community Center is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and some weekends which results in staggered employee working schedules as assigned by the Parks & Recreation Director. The Public Works Corporation Yard hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Lunch and Breaks
Lunch hours are one hour with the understanding that there may be occasional extended lunch hours for business meetings, work, or personal reasons/errands.

However, this is not the normal as extended absences have operational impacts on other Town employees. Lunch hours should be taken between the time period of 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., unless there are exceptional circumstances. Additionally, it should not be the practice of employees to eat their lunch at their desk and then also take off for their normal lunch break.

Break Times: All employees are provided and encouraged to take a 15-minute break in the middle of each of their regular 4-hour morning or 4-hour afternoon work schedule.

As a management level employee, it is your responsibility to appropriate schedule and take periodic breaks.

Breaks and lunch time that are NOT TAKEN are not then owed employees and are not to be used as justification to extend the lunch hour or leave work early in lieu of not taking your break.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 411BDBA0-4B06-432C-BDF3-EE4F401C87A2 5 Adopted May 3, 2022
Resolution #22-4117
Flexible work schedules or temporary adjustments to your normal schedule require approval from employees’ immediate supervisor and the Town Manager.

Council/Commission Meeting Attendance:

The Town recognizes that working a normal business day and then going into a 6 p.m. meeting that can last two (2) to four (4) hours makes for a long day. The Town encourages employees attending the Council meeting to take a meal or break before the start of the meeting so as to be rested and ready for a productive meeting. In support of this initiative employees may periodically take time away from the office from the normal office hours of 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for a meal break prior to the start of the meeting.

Morning after meetings
Occasionally after longer evening meetings employees may adjust their morning start time to but are expected to be in the office by 9 a.m. This administrative flexibility is not meant to be used automatically after each and every meeting.

Administrative Leave:

Additional Administrative Leave time is provided in an amount determined by the Town Manager to FLSA Exempt employees in partial recognition that the demands and nature of their position requires additional work effort outside of the normal M-F 8 to 5 office hours. This additional work effort includes such things as attendance at council/commission meetings, external meetings, participation in conferences/workshops, community outreach efforts, and at times may require additional personal work effort on your part to meet work deadlines.

Administrative Leave time is an additional leave benefit in part to compensate for the additional “time” required to do the job the right way. Administrative Leave is not like comp-time or overtime which is earned on an hour for hour basis. Administrative leave is provided to employees annually for the body of work produced by the FLSA exempt employee and can be used at the employee’s discretion consistent with leave policies.

FLSA-Exempt employees are not eligible for overtime pay or compensatory time off.

Payroll Leave Reporting:

The Town utilizes the philosophy that an FLSA-exempt employee will be paid for 80 hours each payroll period and that only leave usage is reported from the sick leave bank, administrative leave bank, and vacation bank. It is each employee’s responsibility to report your use of vacation, administrative, and sick leave usage on a payroll period basis.

Monitoring Work Hours
DocuSign Envelope ID: 411BDBA0-4B06-432C-BDF3-EE4F401C87A2 6 Adopted May 3, 2022
Resolution #22-4117
You are directed to carefully monitor your own work hours to ensure that you are complying with this memorandum. If you supervise employees, you should also carefully monitor the work hours of your subordinates. However, you are prohibited (or discouraged) from monitoring any other employee’s work schedule as this is their direct supervisor’s responsibility.

Voluntary Dues Deduction
Voluntary payroll deductions for Association/Unit membership dues shall be granted by the Town to the Association in accordance with the following terms:

Use of such due’s deduction is at the discretion of the Association and shall be initiated by written request of the Association.

The voluntary payroll deduction shall remain in effect until employment with the Town is terminated or until cancelled or otherwise modified by the employee through written notice to the Employee Relations Officer.

Employees may only authorize dues deductions for the Association/Unit certified as the recognized bargaining unit to which such employees are assigned. Any dues deduction authorization will automatically terminate in the event that the Unit’s status as exclusive bargaining unit for the members terminates.

Amounts deducted and withheld by the Town shall be transmitted to the office or officer designated by the Association/Unit as authorized to receive such funds at the address specified by the Association/Unit representatives.

The employee’s earnings must be sufficient; after all other required deductions are made, to cover the amount of the deduction herein authorized. All other required and/or employee authorized payroll deductions have priority over payment of Association dues should the paycheck not be sufficient to make all required deductions. When an employee is in a non-pay status for an entire pay-period, no withholdings will be made to cover that pay-period.

The Association/Unit shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Town against any claims, demands, lawsuits or any other actions initiated against the Town arising from compliance with any of the provisions of this article.

The Association shall refund to the Town within thirty (30) days any amounts paid to it in error upon presentation of supporting evidence by the Town.

Town agrees to meet and confer related to any potential change of health insurance provider. Intent would be to provide comparable quality of programs, provide for retiree medical coverage and to result in net positive savings to the Town in order to make a program delivery change.

Submission of marriage certificate or domestic partnership registration is required in order to have spouse/domestic partner included as eligible for insurance coverage. Dental insurance is not provided to retirees as a retirement benefit.

Resolution #22-4117
employees in the same position per month towards health insurance premiums for retirees and surviving spouses from the Town of Yountville.

Town Employees hired prior to 1-1-11 will receive 100% retiree health coverage if they meet the specified vesting requirements which include, five (5) years of service with the Town of Yountville and 20 years of combined service in the CalPERS retirement system, which is consistent with State Law (Government Code Sections 22893 and others as applicable) which governs required years of public agency credit, schedule of contribution amount paid by employer, eligibility for benefit provisions.

11 55%
12 60%
13 65%
14 70%
15 75%
16 80%
17 85%
18 90%
19 95%
20 100%
Should the provisions for vesting change or allow for a local agency designed vesting schedule, YEA and the Town agree to meet and discuss possible implementation of local vesting schedule and eligibility requirements.

YEA MMP understands and acknowledges that the Town is researching and looking at alternative means to offer new hires retiree medical benefits that may be different than the current program which provides a contribution upon retirement based on length of PERS service and current contribution rates to medical insurance premium for active employees. Alternatives include but are not limited to programs such as HSA or HRA which are accounts where the Town provides a contribution to an account in the employee’s name (similar to Deferred Compensation” program) which is then used by employee at time of retirement to pay for medical costs, including premiums. YEA MMP agrees that the Town can implement a new program for new hires if a viable program is found. Town agrees to meet and confer with YEA MMP related to new program for new hires should a viable program be found.

TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding (“Memorandum” or “MOU”) is an agreement between the Town of Yountville hereinafter referred to as “Town,” and the Yountville Employee Association (YEA) Mid Management Professional Unit (MMP).

PURPOSE
The purpose of this agreement is to promote the mutual interests of the Town and the employees, and to provide for the operation of the Town’s facilities under methods which will further, to the fullest extent possible, the safety and welfare of the employees, economy and efficiency of operations, elimination of waste, realization of optimum quality and quantity of product and/or service, cleanliness of facilities and protection of property.

SECTION 1 – UNIT RECOGNITION
The Yountville Employees' Association Mid Management Professional Unit , a recognized employee organization, and the Town of Yountville, a public agency, have been meeting and conferring consistent with Section 3500 of the California Government Code and have reached agreement.

The Town recognizes the Yountville Employee Association Mid Management Professional Unit hereafter as “Association” as the mid management professional employee’s representative of permanent employees employed in the job classifications attached as Appendix “A.”
The scope of representation shall include all matters relating to employment conditions and employer-employee relations including, but not limited to, wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment, except, however, that the scope of representation shall not include consideration of the merits, necessity, or organization of any service or activity provided by law or executive order.

It is the intent and purpose of this Memorandum to set forth the total and complete understanding and agreement regarding wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment. All present rules, employee rights, privileges, and benefits shall remain in effect unless specifically altered by the provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding.

addresses or other information relating to employer-employee relations.

Expectations for FLSA Exempt Employees
General Office Hours
FLSA-exempt employees are paid on a salary basis and provided with additional administrative leave time. FLSA-Exempt employees are expected to put the hours and work effort in that is necessary to do the job. This may mean sometimes those exempt employees may take work home, come in early or stay late based on workload needs and project completion deadlines. FLSA exempt employees have more flexibility with their work schedule than non-exempt employees. Exempt employee work schedule flexibility is defined by several significant factors: 1) that employees are getting the job “done right” in a timely and appropriate manner; 2) meeting project completion deadlines and established service delivery dates, 3) available to interact with the public, other town staff and external partners as necessary for employee and them to conduct necessary business and 4) respectful and supportive of the Town’s lean organizational staffing structure which often requires availability to shore up the administrative and clerical support staff as necessary and to support their work objectives, and 5) recognition that as a public agency there is the need for public accountability of staff resources and leave benefits provided to employees
Core office hours are the same as the facility in which the employee is based unless otherwise designated or approved by the supervisor or Town Manager. Town Hall is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Community Center is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and some weekends which results in staggered employee working schedules as assigned by the Parks & Recreation Director. The Public Works Corporation Yard hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Lunch and Breaks
Lunch hours are one hour with the understanding that there may be occasional extended lunch hours for business meetings, work, or personal reasons/errands.

However, this is not the normal as extended absences have operational impacts on other Town employees. Lunch hours should be taken between the time period of 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., unless there are exceptional circumstances. Additionally, it should not be the practice of employees to eat their lunch at their desk and then also take off for their normal lunch break.

Break Times: All employees are provided and encouraged to take a 15-minute break in the middle of each of their regular 4-hour morning or 4-hour afternoon work schedule.

As a management level employee, it is your responsibility to appropriate schedule and take periodic breaks.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 70C46ED5-B0AC-407D-A37B-4D105728C16B 6 Adopted May 3, 2022
Resolution #22-4117
Rev. August 2, 2022
Resolution #22-4144
Breaks and lunch time that are NOT TAKEN are not then owed employees and are not to be used as justification to extend the lunch hour or leave work early in lieu of not taking your break.

Flexible work schedules or temporary adjustments to your normal schedule require approval from employees’ immediate supervisor and the Town Manager.

Council/Commission Meeting Attendance:

The Town recognizes that working a normal business day and then going into a 6 p.m. meeting that can last two (2) to four (4) hours makes for a long day. The Town encourages employees attending the Council meeting to take a meal or break before the start of the meeting so as to be rested and ready for a productive meeting. In support of this initiative employees may periodically take time away from the office from the normal office hours of 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for a meal break prior to the start of the meeting.

Morning after meetings
Occasionally after longer evening meetings employees may adjust their morning start time to but are expected to be in the office by 9 a.m. This administrative flexibility is not meant to be used automatically after each and every meeting.

Administrative Leave:

Additional Administrative Leave time is provided in an amount determined by the Town Manager to FLSA Exempt employees in partial recognition that the demands and nature of their position requires additional work effort outside of the normal M-F 8 to 5 office hours. This additional work effort includes such things as attendance at council/commission meetings, external meetings, participation in conferences/workshops, community outreach efforts, and at times may require additional personal work effort on your part to meet work deadlines.

Administrative Leave time is an additional leave benefit in part to compensate for the additional “time” required to do the job the right way. Administrative Leave is not like comp-time or overtime which is earned on an hour for hour basis. Administrative leave is provided to employees annually for the body of work produced by the FLSA exempt employee and can be used at the employee’s discretion consistent with leave policies.

FLSA-Exempt employees are not eligible for overtime pay or compensatory time off.

Payroll Leave Reporting:

The Town utilizes the philosophy that an FLSA-exempt employee will be paid for 80 hours each payroll period and that only leave usage is reported from the sick leave bank, administrative leave bank, and vacation bank. It is each employee’s responsibility DocuSign Envelope ID: 70C46ED5-B0AC-407D-A37B-4D105728C16B 7 Adopted May 3, 2022
Resolution #22-4117
Rev. August 2, 2022
Resolution #22-4144
to report your use of vacation, administrative, and sick leave usage on a payroll period basis.

Monitoring Work Hours
You are directed to carefully monitor your own work hours to ensure that you are complying with this memorandum. If you supervise employees, you should also carefully monitor the work hours of your subordinates. However, you are prohibited (or discouraged) from monitoring any other employee’s work schedule as this is their direct supervisor’s responsibility.

Voluntary Dues Deduction
Voluntary payroll deductions for Association/Unit membership dues shall be granted by the Town to the Association in accordance with the following terms:

Use of such due’s deduction is at the discretion of the Association and shall be initiated by written request of the Association.

Payroll deductions shall be for a specific amount and uniform as between employee members of the Association. Payroll deductions shall be limited solely to membership dues and not for other sundry related programs, insurances, etc. Authorization, cancellation, or modification of payroll deduction shall be made upon forms provided or approved by the Town Manager or designee. The voluntary payroll deduction shall remain in effect until employment with the Town is terminated or until cancelled or otherwise modified by the employee through written notice to the Employee Relations Officer.

Employees may only authorize dues deductions for the Association/Unit certified as the recognized bargaining unit to which such employees are assigned. Any dues deduction authorization will automatically terminate in the event that the Unit’s status as exclusive bargaining unit for the members terminates.

Amounts deducted and withheld by the Town shall be transmitted to the office or officer designated by the Association/Unit as authorized to receive such funds at the address specified by the Association/Unit representatives.

B. The Town Council may approve the following densities, as an alternative to those allowed under Section 17.160.030 of this title for projects with an Affordable Housing Overlay proposing to construct 10 or more dwelling units of which 25% or more will be reserved for lower-income households and will be rented or sold at levels that do not exceed 80% of area median income:

Minimum Percent Affordable Density Bonus
25% 100%
40% 110%

85% 140%
100% 150%
C. Calculation of Density Bonus.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Town Council of the Town of Yountville finds as follows:

SECTION 1. RECITALS: The Town Council finds that the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated by reference herein.

SECTION 2. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS: The Record of Proceedings (“Record”) upon which the Town Council bases its decision includes but is not limited to: (1) the staff reports, Town files and records, and other documents prepared for and/or submitted to the ZDRB and/or Town Council relating to the Zoning Amendment; (2) the evidence, facts, findings, and other determinations set forth in this ordinance; (3) the 2019 Envision Yountville General Plan and its related FEIR, and the Yountville Municipal Code; (4) all designs, plans, studies, data, and correspondence submitted to the ZDRB and/or Town Council in connection with the Zoning Amendment; (5) all documentary and oral evidence received at public workshops, meetings, and hearings or submitted to the ZDRB and/or Town Council relating to the Zoning Amendment; and (6) all other matters of common knowledge to the Town Council including, but not limited to, Town, state, and federal laws, policies, regulations, reports, records, and projections related to development within the Town of Yountville and its surrounding areas.

The location and custodian of the Record is the Yountville Planning & Building Department, 6550 Yount Street, Yountville, California 94599.

SECTION 3. FINDINGS: The Town Council hereby makes the following findings for the Zoning Amendment as required by Yountville Municipal Code section 17.184.060(A):

A. The Zoning Amendment furthers the goals, objectives, policies, and programs and is consistent with the intent of the General Plan.

Facts in Support: The Subject Parcel is assigned the Mixed Residential with an Affordable Housing Overlay (RM-AHO) land use designation of the 2019 Envision Yountville General Plan. The General Plan RM land use designation is intended to encourage development of a variety of housing and ownership types, including singlefamily and multifamily dwellings, and related residential uses, and includes a density of up to 25 units per acre. The proposed rezone, which would change the zoning from RMAHO to Mixed Residential-2 (RM-2) without an Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO), would be consistent with the RM General Plan Land Use designation. The Zoning Amendment would not conflict with any goal, objective, policy, or program of the Yountville General Plan. As set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, the Zoning Amendment would be consistent with and further applicable policies of the General Plan. Based on these observations, the Zoning Amendment is considered to be internally consistent with the General Plan.

B. The Zoning Amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the Town.

Facts in Support: Town of Yountville Planning staff and the Zoning and Design Review Board (ZDRB) have reviewed the Zoning Amendment and did not identify any aspects of the Zoning Amendment that would be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the Town.

C. The site is physically suitable, including consideration of physical constraints, access, compatibility with surrounding land uses, and provisions of utilities, for the requested land use.

Facts in Support: The Zoning Amendment was reviewed for suitability regarding physical constraints, access, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provisions of utilities. The proposed rezone to the RM-2 zoning district is compatible with the surrounding land uses and the current RM General Plan land use designation applicable to the Subject Parcel.

The proposed rezone from RM-AHO to RM-2 without an AHO will not change the allowable intensity of development or residential land uses at the site because the RM General Plan land use designation allows up to 25 units per gross acre with and between 10 and 20 dwelling units per gross acre. Additional units may be allowed with a state density bonus.

The Subject Parcel currently has a land use designation of Mixed Residential with an Affordable Housing Overlay (RM-AHO) and is located along the southern boundary of the Town. To the west of the Subject Parcel, the land is zoned parks and playfields. To the west of the parks and playfields land is State Highway 29. There are planned development and mobile home uses to the north of the Subject Parcel and public facilities to the east.

The southernly-adjacent property outside of the Town border is within the unincorporated Napa County and is zoned for agricultural and residential use. The uses allowed with the proposed RM-2 zoning are not inconsistent with the existing surrounding land uses within the Town boundaries and areas of residential use are commonly assigned near one another and near parks and playfields.

The FEIR for the 2019 General Plan analyzed the Zoning Amendment at issue herein.

The FEIR analysis determined that although there are significant and unavoidable impacts within the General Plan Mixed Residential Land Use designation, the proposed land use change to increase the permitted density in the Zoning Amendment would bring the potential development densities and intensities compatible with the General Plan Mixed Residential Land Use designation. The General Plan Mixed Residential land use designation allows development of up to 25 units per gross acre. The re-zoning to RM-2 would also allow the maximum units to 20 units per gross acre, unless a state density bonus is applied, which is consistent with the General Plan. Further, the RM-2 zone allows all the same uses already analyzed in the FEIR with the densities allowed in the General Plan. Stated differently, all the proposed changes in this Zoning Amendment are consistent and therefore have already been analyzed in the General Plan and the FEIR which adopted it.

Based on the facts discussed above, the Subject Parcel is considered to be physically suitable to support mixed residential development of 20 units per acre.

SECTION 4. USE OF ZONING MAP: Town Staff is authorized and directed to use this Zoning Amendment for all purposes for which the Zoning Map may be used for Town purposes.

SECTION 5. ZONING MAP CONSISTENCY: Town staff is authorized and directed to update the Zoning Map to be consistent with the adoption of the Affordable Housing Overlay Ordinance, adopted on August 3, 2004, as Ordinance No. 344-04.

SECTION 6. APPROVAL OF ZONING AMENDMENT: The Town Council hereby approves the Zoning Amendment, as depicted in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, based on the findings set forth above, and as set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, to amend the Zoning Map from RM-AHO to RM-2, at the Subject Parcel identified as APN 036-090-002.

SECTION 7. SEVERABILITY: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is for may reason held invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the ordinance. The Town Council hereby declares that it would have passed this and each section, subsection, clause, or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, phrases, or clauses be declared unconstitutional on their face or as applied.

SECTION 8. EFFECTIVE DATE: This ordinance shall become effective 30 days after the date of its passage and adoption.

SECTION 9. CERTIFICATION: The Town Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall give notice of its adoption as required by law. Within 15 days from the date of passage of this ordinance, the Town Clerk shall post a copy of the ordinance in accordance with California Government Code in at least three public places in the Town.
