IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is a $ 5,997,724.53 fiscal impact that includes the following items:
Accounts Payable Checks $ 5,543,615.06
Payroll & Benefit Checks $ 453,628.47
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Ratify the attached listing of cash disbursements for the period of July 1 through July
15, 2023; 2) Determine that ratifying the cash disbursements is not a project subject to
the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in
either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.
(State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378.)
BACKGROUND:
Cash disbursements are made weekly based on the submission of all required documents
supporting the invoices submitted for payment. Prior to payment, Administrative Services
staff reviews all disbursement documents to ensure that they meet the approval
requirements adopted in the Municipal Code and the City’s Purchasing Policies and

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Valentine, Administrative Services Director
BY: Lynda Horejsi, Accounting Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Statement of Investment Deposits
DATE: August 8, 2023
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Presentation of the City’s investment deposits as of June 30, 2023.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no funding impact to the City related to these reports. However, the City does
receive interest revenue based on the interest rate of the investments. No or minimal
future staff time is projected.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Receive and file the attached report listing investment deposits of the City of Arroyo
Grande as of June 30, 2023, as required by Government Code Section 53646(b); 2)
Determine that receiving the report of investment deposits is not a project subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in
either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.
(State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378.)
BACKGROUND:
The Administrative Services department has historically submitted to the City Council a
monthly report, providing the following information:
1. Type of investment.
2. Financial institution (bank, savings and loan, broker, etc).
3. Date of maturity.
4. Principal amount.
5. Rate of interest.
6. Current market value for all securities having a maturity of more than 12 months.
7. Relationship of the monthly report to the annual statement of investment policy.

City Council
Consideration of Statement of Investment Deposits
August 8, 2023
Page 2
Item 9.b.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
This report represents the City’s investments as of June 30, 2023. It includes all
investments managed by the City, the investment institution, investment type, book value,
maturity date, and rate of interest. As of June 30, 2023, the investment portfolio was in
compliance with all State laws and the City’s investment policy.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Approve staff’s recommendation to receive and file the attached report listing the
investment deposits;
2. Do not approve staff’s recommendation; or
3. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Investments are undertaken in a
manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
DISADVANTAGES:
Some level of risk is present in any investment transaction. Losses could be incurred due
to market price changes, technical cash flow complications such as the need to withdraw
a non-negotiable Time Certificate of Deposit early, or even the default of an issuer. To
minimize such risks, diversifications of the investment portfolio by institution and by
investment instruments are being used as much as is practical and prudent.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Statement of Investment Deposits is not a project subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in either a direct,
or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA
Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378.)”
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with
Government Code Section 54954.2.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Valentine, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Authorization to Submit Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation
Act (WIFIA) Application for Central Coast Blue Project and Incur
Related Loan Application and Issuance Costs
DATE: August 8, 2023
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Submit an application to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a Water
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan to fund the City’s share of Central
Coast Blue (CCB) project costs and incur related costs related to the application and
appropriate $55,000 f rom the Water Enterprise Fund Balance.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The initial $25,000 WIFIA application fee and $30,000 S&P RES fee will be paid for from
the Water Enterprise Fund Balance. The additional estimated costs of $125,000 for the
EPA legal team to review and prepare the WIFIA Loan will be paid for from the first draw
of the Loan; however, if the Loan does not close, the Water Enterprise Fund Balance will
need to pay this amount. Additional WIFIA Loan costs are contingent upon t he closing
and will be paid for from the Loan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Interim City Manager to submit an application to the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for a Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA)
loan to fund the City’s share of Central Coast Blue (CCB) project costs and incur related
costs related to the application and appropriate $55,000 from the Water Enterprise Fund
Balance.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pismo Beach has been the lead agency for the CCB Project. The Project has
been a multi-agency effort between three of the four Northern Cities Management Area
agencies (the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and Pismo Beach) and the South
San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District1 to construct a regional recycled water project
that will enhance supply reliability by injecting advanced purified water into the Santa
Maria Groundwater Basin. The Project will reduce vulnerability to drought and seawater

intrusion by creating a seawater intrusion barrier and supplementing the naturally
occurring groundwater1.
At its January 25, 2022 meeting, the City Council authorized entering into a Cost Sharing
Agreement with the cities of Grover Beach and Pismo Beach for the Project, as well as a
Resolution that authorized the City Manager to apply for financial assistance from Clean
Water State Revolving Fund administered by the State Water Resources Control Board
for the City’s share of anticipated construction costs for the Project. The Cost Sharing
Agreement also contained provisions related to the contemplated creation of a Joint
Powers Authority, which is a separate legal public entity, pursuant to Government Code
section 6500 et seq., that will own and operate the Project and have the power to issue
debt and enter into loans or financing agreements to finance the construction costs for
Phase 1 of the Project. As set forth in the Cost Sharing Agreement, the Joint Powers
Agreement contains provisions addressing acquisition of the facility site from Pismo
Beach by the Authority, ownership of the facility, and financing of construction costs,
including repayment obligations of the parties consistent with the Water Purveyor
Contribution percentages identified in the Cost Sharing Agreement.
On September 14, 2022, the first joint City Council meeting called for in the Cost Sharing
Agreement was held with the City Councils of the cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach,
and Pismo Beach. At that meeting, the City Councils and the public received an update
from the Project’s design and engineering consultant, Water Systems Consulting (WSC),
regarding the Project components and purpose, preliminary design of the Advanced
Treatment Facility, updated cost estimates, grant funding opportunities and awards, and
permitting requirements.
At its September 27, 2022 meeting, the City Council Approved the CCB JPA Agreement
that created the CCB Regional Recycled Water Authority (CCBRRWA) and appointed
Mayor Ray-Russom to be the representative of the Authority Board of Directors.
On June 5, 2023, the second joint City Council meeting was held with the City Councils
of the cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and Pismo Beach. At that meeting, the City
Councils and the public received an update from Geoff English, the CCBRRWA General
Manager and the Project’s design and engineering consultant, WSC, regarding a Status
Report and Project Update. Additionally, a Report was presented on alternatives and
considerations to advance local hiring for construction of the CCB Project.
The City is a member of the Central Coast Blue Regional Recycled Water Authority which
is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) tasked with building and operating the Central Coast
1 Although it has contributed to the overall Project effort, the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation
District is not a party to the Joint Powers Authority for the CCB Project during Phase I and will not be
involved in the construction or initial operation of the Project.

Blue (CCB) recycled water facility. The total construction costs are currently estimated at
$93 million of which $39 million would be paid by grants, leaving $54 million to be financed
by Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, and Arroyo Grande. Arroyo Grande’s share of CCB is
25% and, therefore, after adding Arroyo Grande preconstruction payments of $2 million,
the City would need to finance up to $14.3 million for the remaining portion of
preconstruction and construction costs. The consultant WSC, on behalf of CCB,
submitted the loan application to the State Revolving Fund (SRF) in December of 2021.
In August 2022, CCB heard from the State that funds were not allocated to the CCB
project. It was therefore decided by the JPA to seek financing from the EPA through the
WIFIA Loan Program. A Letter of Interest was submitted to the EPA for the WIFIA Loan
and after EPA approval, the JPA was invited to submit a full application for funding of
CCB.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The WIFIA Loan is similar to the SRF program in that draws are made to fund construction
of an eligible project until the project is completed. Once the project is completed, the
drawn amounts are aggregated into a loan amount and amortization begins on th e loan.
This is a more cost-effective form of financing than a traditional tax-exempt bond issue
where a project amount is funded and then interest on the principal balance begins at
closing. The WIFIA Loan rate is the published State and Local Government Securities
(“SLGs”) rate, published daily by the US Treasury, plus 1 basis point (.01), based upon
the average life of the Loan. The WIFIA Loan is a 30-year Loan that starts amortizing
once the Project is completed, and, therefore, the average life of the Loan is estimated to
be 20 years. As of July 30th, the current SLGs rate for 20 years is 4.20% and, therefore,
the WIFIA Loan rate would be 4.21%, which is subject to change.
The JPA agencies are seeking separate financing arrangements for each agency’s
estimated project costs given the unique financing needs across communities. Arroyo
Grande and Pismo Beach are applying together using their common financial advisor
whereas Grover Beach is applying separately as it has a prior Series 2020 Water Bond
that must be taken into account when issuing the WIFIA Loan along with a defined
financing team with extensive WIFIA loan experience. Arroyo Grande would be applying
as a “Small Community” because the City’s population is less than 25,000, with an
application fee of $25,000. Once the EPA begins working on the Loan and engaging their
outside legal counsel, they estimate that the total costs for the EPA portion of issuance
costs would be approximately $150,000 which includes the initial fee of $25,000. These
costs, once incurred by the EPA, are payable from the initial draw upon closing but are
not contingent upon the Loan closing and will be due and payable should the City decide
not to proceed with the Loan for whatever reason.
These costs will be provided once the EPA approves the Loan and when Council will be
requested to approve the loan documents.

An additional upfront fee is the Standard & Poor’s cost for their Rating Evaluation Service
(“RES”). The WIFIA application requires a rating evaluation that the Loa n would be
investment grade (BBB- or higher). The fee for the RES is $30,000 and is applied toward
the S&P Rating Fee of $35,000, which is the total fee for the full S& P rating once there
is a Loan Agreement and Term Sheet that is reviewed.
Staff have been preparing the WIFIA Loan application with the City’s consultants and are
seeking Council approval to submit the application with the fee of $25,000 , along with the
separate fee for the S & P Rating Evaluation Services of $30,000. The requested $55,000
was not included in the FY 2023-24 budget and is being requested as a budget
appropriation from the Water Enterprise Fund Balance. This is just the initial step in the
planned loan process in order to proceed in a timely manner , enabling the City and the
other JPA member agencies to begin funding construction costs in early 2024. Council
will ultimately have the authority to consider a WIFIA Loan Agreement provided by the
EPA’s legal firm at the end of 2023.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Authorize the Interim City Manager to submit an application to the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for a Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act
(WIFIA) loan to fund the City’s share of Central Coast Blue (CCB) project costs
and incur related costs related to the application in the amount of $55,000, and
appropriate that amount from the Water Enterprise Fund Balance ; or
2. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
The City Council has already approved the City’s participation in the Project and the City
has executed the Cost Sharing Agreement and Joint Powers Authority to own and operate
the Project. The Project is important for the ongoing resiliency of groundwater resources
relied upon by the City, as well as all residents, businesses, agricultural operations, and
visitors to the Five Cities area.
DISADVANTAGES:
Since the City has already approved participation in the Project and entered into the Cost
Sharing Agreement and the CCB JPA Agreement, submitting a WIFIA Application does
not have any disadvantages at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City of Pismo Beach is the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) for the Project and previously prep ared, circulated, and approved an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and adopted findings and a Statement of Overriding
Considerations on February 16, 2021. The City of Arroyo Grande is a Responsible

Agency for the Project under CEQA. On March 23, 2021, the City Council adopted
findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Project relying on the EIR
in compliance with CEQA. No additional CEQA findings are required at this time
associated with the WIFIA loan application and appropriation of f unds regarding that
application.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Bill Robeson, Interim City Manager
BY: Aleah Bergam, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Declaring a Continued
Local Emergency Related to the Ongoing Storm Events
DATE: August 8, 2023
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Adoption of the Resolution will continue the two declared and ratified local emergencies
related to the ongoing impacts associated with the storm events, beginning in December
2022.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There are no direct fiscal impacts related to the proposed action; however, adoption of
the Resolution will facilitate the ability for the City to request resources including financial
support and reimbursement from the State Office of Emergency Services and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency for costs incurred in preparation and/or response to the
storm events.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution declaring a continued local emergency related to the ongoing
impacts associated with the storm events, beginning in December 2022 and continuing
through the present; 2) Make findings that adopting the Resolution continuing a local
emergency is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
because the continued declaration in itself has no potential to result in either a direct, or
reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA
Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378.)
BACKGROUND
As the City Council is aware, in accordance with Section 8.12.060 of the Arroyo Grande
Municipal Code, the City Manager, in her capacity as the Director of Emergency Services,
proclaimed a local emergency on January 18, 2023, regarding the severe January 2 023
Page 39 of 67
Item 9.e.
City Council
Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Declaring a Continued Local Emergency
Related to the Ongoing Storm Events
August 8, 2023
Page 2
winter storms. The City Council ratified the emergency proclamation at its regular meeting
on January 24, 2023.
Multiple additional atmospheric river systems again struck the Central Coast beginning
on March 9, 2023, and the City Manager, again in her capacity as the Director of
Emergency Services, proclaimed a local emergency on March 11, 2023 , to account for
the impacts and potential damage incurred subsequent to the declaration of the first local
emergency. The City Council ratified the emergency proclamation at its regular meeting
on March 14, 2023.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Section 8.12.065(C) provides that the City Council is to
“Review the need for a continuing emergency declaration at regularly scheduled meetings
at least every twenty-one (21) days until the emergency is terminated.” Accordingly, to
date, the City Council has adopted the appropriate Resolutions declaring a continued
local emergency related to both the January 2023 storm events and subsequent storm
events within the required 21-day time period. Moving forward, provided there is adoption
of the proposed Resolution provided in Attachment 1 consistent with the prior ratification
of the emergency proclamations at the City Council’s January 24, February 14, February
28, March 14, March 28, April 11, April 25, May 9, May 23, 2023, June 13, 2023, and
June 27, 2023 regular meetings, respectively, the City will remain in compliance with its
Municipal Code.
This item is being presented to the City Council to satisfy the requirements of Section
8.12.065(C). Given the current state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor, the
additional emergency proclamation issued by the Governor on March 1, 2023, the
Presidential Major Disaster Declaration declared on January 14, 2023, and the
Presidential Emergency Declaration declared on March 10, 2023, it is recommended that
the City Council adopt the attached Resolution declaring the need to continue the
emergency declarations made to date in response to the storm events beginning
December 27, 2022. The County of San Luis Obispo issued a similar emergency
declaration, which remains in effect. Federal, State and County emergency declarations
associated with the January and March 2023 storm events, and resulting damage,
continue to remain in effect.
City staff continue to dedicate time towards responding to numerous storm recovery
efforts and continue to require support from County, State, and Federal emergency
response resources to support these efforts. Staff continue to work with State and Federal
officials to request funding for the City’s response and recovery efforts. It is recommended
that the local emergency declarations be continued until this funding is received.

ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt the Resolution declaring a continued local emergency related to the ongoing
impacts associated with the storm events, beginning in December 2022; or
2. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Adoption of the Resolution will satisfy the requirement of the Arroyo Grande Municipal
Code regarding the periodic review of the declared local emergency related to the severe
winter storms and support the City’s efforts to obtain assistance from County, State, and
federal emergency response resources to recover from the disaster.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified to adopting the Resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item. Adopting the Resolution continuing a
local emergency is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”) because that declaration in itself has no potential to result in either a direct, or
reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA
Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378.)

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Steve Kahn, Interim Public Works Director
BY: Shannon Sweeney, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Consideration of Rejection of All Bids for the Arroyo Grande Police
Department Camera System Project, PW 2023-10
DATE: August 8, 2023
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Reject all Bids for the Arroyo Grande Police Department Camera System Project (Project)
and direct staff to reissue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for design of this project that
contains language needed to ensure consistency with the requirements of American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, fairness in proposal review, and clarification of project
expectations.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
$880,700 in FY 2023-24 of (American Rescue Plan Act) ARPA funds and $119,300 in FY
2023-24 and $125,000 in FY 2022-23 of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS)
funds, for a total of $1,125,000., are allocated to this project.
The Project was originally funded with Local Sales Tax Fund and COPS dollars, however,
on May 9, 2023, the City Council approved the use of ARPA funds for the Project. Several
ARPA provisions need to be followed to ensure that these funds are spent appropriately.
Those provisions were not included in the initial RFP.
Staff time would be impacted with the administration and coordination of the processes
of compliance with ARPA requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Reject all Bids for the Arroyo Grande Police Department Camera System Project (Project)
and direct staff to reissue a Request for Proposal for design of this project, and
subsequently competitively bid the construction of the project.
BACKGROUND:
Approximately seven years ago, the Arroyo Grande Police Department initiated a public
safety surveillance video system allowing police officers the ability to monitor and retain
Page 46 of 67
Item 9.f.
City Council
Consideration of Rejection of All Bids for the Arroyo Grande Police Department
Camera System Project, PW 2023-10

Page 2
video footage from twenty-three (23) designated cameras strategically placed throughout
the City. The current system is technologically obsolete, and cameras are not able to be
maintained or replaced, nor is the system able to accommodate expansion of camera
locations. The City and Police Department have developed a plan to revitalize t he public
safety camera system by entering into contract with a vendor who can remove, install,
service new cameras at existing locations, as well as expand new strategic camera
locations.
An RFP was issued in June 2022. Three bids were received prior to the bid opening
deadline. The proposals received were difficult to compare because there was not a
uniform cost format requirement in the RFP to include monthly maintenance costs and
other costs such as electrical power to some new camera locations.
The currently proposed Public Safety Video Cameras project was originally funded with
Local Sales Tax Fund and COPS dollars as a four-year phased project. Through the more
recent evaluation of the 2022 RFP process, staff also determined that implementing this
project at the same time rather than as a phased project is in the best interest of the City
and will allow for a more robust/ all at the same time system implementation. At the May
9, 2023, meeting, City Council approved moving ARPA funds from stormwater
Infrastructure projects to this project, due to shifting priorities and updated rules allowing
ARPA funds to be used on projects of this nature.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
A number of considerations support rejection of the bids received in response to the June
2022 RFP.
ARPA
ARPA funds have very specific requirements that need to be met. Failure to meet these
requirements places these funds in jeopardy. The previous RFP did not contain any
information regarding ARPA provisions because ARPA funds had not been allocated to
this project at that time. The new RFP will reflect requirements associated with the use of
these funds.
Proposal Review
Providing revised language in the RFP clearly stating the mechanism for reviewing
proposals will help protect the City against potential protests or challenges following the
City’s selection of a contractor.
Project Expectations
Reissuing this RFP provides City staff the opportunity to more clearly define project
expectations and scope, resulting in a more detailed and accurate proposals.

ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Reject all Bids for the Arroyo Grande Po lice Department Camera System Project
(Project) and direct staff to reissue a Request for Proposal for design of this project
and subsequently competitively bid the construction of the project ;
2. Do not reject bids (not rejecting existing bids may place funding in jeopardy and
opens the City up to protests regarding the bid evaluation process); or
3. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Rejecting all previous bids allows the City to go out to bid for a project that will meet ARPA
requirements, that will contain language facilitating review of the proposals received, and
will more clearly state the City’s needs for this project.
DISADVANTAGES:
Reissuing the RFP for design only and then competitively bidding for construction will
take some additional time. Staff believes that taking these additional steps will help
protect the City and its funding and will ultimately result in a more successful project.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The recommended action is not a CEQA project. CEQA evaluation will be perf ormed upon
award of the construction project.

The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with
Government Code Section 54954.2.

FROM: Steve Kahn, Interim Public Works Director
BY: Shannon Sweeney, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of 191 Tally Ho Frontage Improvement
Project
DATE: August 8, 2023
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Approve construction plans and specifications, authorize the solicitation of bids, and
provide environmental determination for the 191 Tally Ho Frontage Improvement Project
(the “Project”).
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
$110,000 in sales tax revenue has been allocated to this project in Fiscal Year 2023–24.
The Engineer’s estimate for the improvements included in this project is $75,000.
Encumbered expenses to date for design total $22,900, of which $20,976.25 has been
paid to date.
Staff time is needed to administer the project. This was anticipated and will be handled
by in-house staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve the construction plans and specifications for the Project; 2) Authorize the City
Clerk to advertise for construction bids; 3) Find that the project is categorically exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under a Class 2 exemption,
pursuant to Guidelines Section 15302 and 4) Direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of
Exemption.
BACKGROUND:
The single-family residence at 191 Tally Ho was purchased by its current owners in
approximately 2019. Soon after, the property owner approached the City requesting that
the masonry wall fronting the street be rebuilt by the City. At that time, the City did not
have the funds to proceed. The homeowner moved forward constructing this wall in
approximately 2022 without the necessary permits and not to standards. The City put a

Item 9.g.
City Council

stop notice on the work, but unfortunately not before partial excavation and wall removal.
This is the only property in this section of Tally Ho whose front boundary extends into the
right-of-way with no offer of dedication (195 Tally Ho also extends into the right-of-way
but an offer of dedication has already been made). The City is constructing the wall in
exchange for dedication of the remaining street-right of way In exchange for the City
proceeding with construction of the wall to standard, the property owner is providing the
necessary dedication of right-of-way.
GTA was selected off the City's on-call list for survey and design and entered into a
contract on August 17, 2022, for this work. The resulting plans and specifications are
ready to bid out for construction.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. 1) Approve the construction plans and specifications for the Project; 2)
Authorize the City Clerk to advertise for formal construction bids due to the
engineer’s estimate of $75,000 for this work; and 3) Find that the project is
categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Guidelines Section 15302 and direct the City Clerk to file a Notice
of Exemption;
2. Do not approve staff’s recommendations;
3. Modify staff’s recommendation and approve; or
4. Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Completing this project will eliminate an eyesore and hazard that currently exists at this
property, as well as address the lack of consistent right-of-way in this area. The masonry
wall will meet the standards and the necessary right-of-way will be dedicated to the City.
DISADVANTAGES:
There will be potential minor traffic inconveniences to the travelling public during
construction. Staff will monitor the traffic control to conform to the requirements of the
Municipal Uniform Traffic Control Devices manual (MUTCD) to mitigate any negative
effects. City inspectors will be at the site during construction to adjust the traffic control
for isolated instances (driveway access, etc.).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project was reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), and it was determined to be categorically exempt per Section 15302 Class 2
exemption, which applies to the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and
facilities where the new structure is located on the same site as the structure replaced
and has substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. This
wall replaces a wall that was previously removed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Steve Kahn, Interim Public Works Director
BY: Shannon Sweeney, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Consideration of Budget Amendment for Parklet Concrete Barriers
and Planters
DATE: August 8, 2023
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Approve a budget amendment of $90,000, including $72,957.20 for the purchase of
decorative concrete barriers and planters associated with the long-term parklets program,
along with $17,042.80 for parking wayfaring street sign purchase and placement in the
Village to guide vehicles to the Olohan and Le Point parking areas to help offset the
impact of the loss of streetside parking.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The estimated $90,000 to procure the permanent decorative concrete barriers and
planters and signage associated with the long-term parklets is expected to be fully offset
over time through rental fees for the physical barriers paid by the business owners
requesting the parklets, as described in the September 27, 2022, staff report introducing
the Ordinance regarding the permanent parklet program. These fees will be applied
through the administration of the parklets permits.
At its July 25, 2023 City Council meeting, City Council approved $72,957.20 for the
purchase of the parklet concrete barriers and planters. However, staff identified after t hat
meeting that there was no actual line item in the budget for this purchase. Approval of this
budget amendment will correct this oversight.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve a budget amendment of $90,000 from general fund reserves for the purchase
of decorative concrete barriers and planters and stre et signs associated with the long-
term parklets program; 2) Make findings that continuing administrative or maintenance
activities—such as purchases for supplies, personnel-related actions, and general policy
and procedure making—do not qualify as a project under CEQA.

Item 9.h.
City Council
Consideration of Budget Amendment for Parklet Concrete Barriers and Planters
August 8, 2023
Page 2
BACKGROUND:
At its July 25, 2023 City Council meeting, the City Council approved $72,957.20 for the
purchase of the parklet concrete barriers and planters. However, staff identified after that
meeting that there was no actual line item in the budget for this purchase. Approval of this
budget amendment will correct this oversight.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Without a budget amendment, there is technically no funding available for the purchase
previously approved by City Council. Adequate funding exists in general fund reserves,
but City Council approval assigning some of those funds to this project is necessary. Staff
is requesting an adjustment in the amount of $90,000 to cover the co sts of purchasing
the parklet barriers and planters, as well as costs associated with additional wayfinding
signage and improvements that will mitigate impacts from the loss of parking.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Approve a budget amendment in the amount of $90,000 from general fund
reserves for costs associated with purchase and installation of City owned Parklet
components;
2. Do not approve this budget amendment, which would preclude City staff’s ability
to implement the long-term parklet program at this time; or
3. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Advantages to the recommended alternative include:
Consistent layout and decorative appearance for all concrete barriers in the
Village.
Purchase of barriers is within the originally estimated costs for this project.
Selected concrete barriers provide a physical barrier between vehicles and diners.
Purchasing the barriers at this time will help limit the amount of time the parklets
are out of service, as placement will be coordinated with the removal of the existing
temporary concrete barriers, the concrete repairs project (replacement of tile
bands, tile tree well surrounds, and crosswalks), and the slurry seal project, all
which take place and temporarily impact the Village area parking and circulation.
The associated capital projects are anticipated to be completed in September and
October 2023. The concrete barriers will be available for placement directly
following completion of those projects to minimize the time that the parklets are out
of service.
DISADVANTAGES:
There are no disadvantages to the recommended alternative. General fund reserves exist
in an amount adequate to cover this budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item. Continuing administrative or
maintenance activities—such as general policy and procedure making—do not qualify as
a project under CEQA. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378, subd. (b)(2).) Installation of
individual parklets will be evaluated for CEQA as applications are received. This budget
amendment is strictly an administrative task.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Pedrotti, Community Development Director
BY: Andrew Perez, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Safe Parking Ordinance Update
DATE: August 8, 2023
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Receive an update on the status of the safe parking ordinance.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
No financial impact is projected.
RECOMMENDATION:
Suspend efforts to adopt a safe parking ordinance due to the inability to secure a
commitment from a social service provider to support individual safe parking sites.
BACKGROUND:
Recognizing the rising costs of housing and the need to provide options for those in our
community facing homelessness, combined with the interest from local faith
organizations, a study session was held with City Council on March 14, 2023 to discuss
the topic of safe parking. Staff drafted a safe parking ordinance and presented it to Council
at the March 14, 2023, study session. The ordinance defined safe parking sites, identified
zones in which safe parking sites could be permitted, and proposed a new permit type
specifically for safe parking sites. Performance standards were also included as a way to
mitigate adverse impacts on surrounding properties.
Council was generally supportive of the ordinance as it was proposed at that time. Much
of the discussion was centered around the amount of involvement that a local social
service provider, most likely the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC), would need to have
to make the program effective. Council directed staff to further refine the ordinance and
coordinate with 5CHC to ensure that the amount of involvement by 5CHC is feasible given
its limited resources.
Page 60 of 67
Item 11.a.
City Council
Safe Parking Ordinance Update
August 8, 2023
Page 2
Council also directed staff to add a performance standard to the ordinance that requires
an operator to register its guests by obtaining name and date of birth, vehicle make,
model, and license plate number, and proof of driver’s license and automobile insurance.
The registration form would be used to verify that the guest has made contact with a social
services provider. It was anticipated that, in most cases, the social services provider
would be 5CHC. By requiring at least a check-in with 5CHC, or another social service
provider, the ordinance acknowledges that those services and benefits provided are an
important component in improving the living situation of safe parking guests.
After the study session, staff had discussions with 5CHC, who determined that they were
unable to provide the services necessary to support safe parking sites. The primary
concern was due to potential liability for issues that may arise at these sites. Additionally,
the lack of resources makes a commitment to support these sites infeasible. The draft
ordinance was presented to the Planning Commission on May 16, 2023, and staff’s
recommendation at that time was to continue the hearing to a date uncertain due to the
inability to secure a commitment from 5CHC to support the future sites. Based on this
new information, the Planning Commission postponed the hearing indefinitely.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The draft ordinance was updated after the study session with City Council in preparation
of moving the ordinance forward to adoption. Regarding the involvement of a social
service provider, the ordinance was revised to include a performance standard that
states:
In addition to the registration form the guest must make contact with a local social service
provider where they can be offered access to support resources a nd case management
services. The guest must provide proof that they made contact with a social service
provider within seven (7) days of the initial entry into the Safe Parking Site.
As directed by Council. staff has had multiple discussions with 5CHC to confirm its ability
to support safe parking sites. A commitment from 5CHC would allow site operators to
comply with the ordinance and provide essential services for guests of safe parking sites.
5CHC has stated that it is unable to provide the services due to a lack of resources that
can be dedicated to this effort.
Since the study session, City staff has met with County staff regarding a regional
approach to safe parking to make more efficient use of the limited resources that support
this use. County staff is continuing discussions with the other cities to identify potential
safe parking sites. The County is hoping to establish one site in south county and another
in north county. This would allow limited resources to be concentrated at just two sites
rather than multiple smaller sites throughout the cities and county as whole . A benefit of
this approach is that coordinated management of regional safe parking sites will result in
consistent standards and expectations for guests of these sites, as well as services to
guests and broader and more easily accessed knowledge of where the sites are located.

Item 11.a.
City Council
Safe Parking Ordinance Update
August 8, 2023
Page 3
Staff will continue coordinating with the County in pursuit of a safe parking situation that
is beneficial for guests, hosts, and neighbors of these sites.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Receive the update from staff and direct staff suspend efforts to adopt a safe
parking ordinance; or
2. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Continued discussions with Council will provide direction to staff regarding the future of
the safe parking ordinance.
DISADVANTAGES:
Without a commitment from a social services provider, the ordinance cannot move
forward based on the most recent direction from Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for the study session discussion. Adoption of a safe
parking ordinance will require environmental review at the time it is considered formally
and will be noticed accordingly.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with
Government Code Section 54954.2. Leaders of local faith -based organizations, the 5
Cities Homeless Coalition, and San Luis Obispo County Homeless Services staff were
notified of this agenda item via e-mail on July 31, 2023, due to expressed stakeholder
interest.
