DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 2020 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: ANDREA WASSON, RECREATION COORDINATOR RE: RECONSIDERATION OF APPLICATION FOR PROPOSITION 68

PER CAPITA GRANT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM GRANT FUNDS

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council reconsider and approve by motion an amended Resolution authorizing staff to submit the San Antonio Skate Park Renovation Project and Little League Turf Renovation Proposition 68 Per Capita grant application to the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation BACKGROUND: On October 13, 2020, the City Council approved the application for Proposition 68 Per Capita grants funds to renovate the King City Skate Park located at San Antonio Park. Since that meeting, City staff has determined that the funds available can fund not only the skate park renovation, but also fund replacement of the turf at the King City Little League Park. Below are recent pictures showing some of the existing problems at both parks: Figure 1

Figure 2 Figure 3

Figure 2 displays the condition of one of the skateboard ramps. Figures 2 and 3 show examples of the significant deterioration in the condition of the turf on the Little League Field. DISCUSSION: In 2019, staff applied for a Statewide Park Program (SPP) Proposition 68 grant for a comprehensive renovation of the entire San Antonio Park, including plans to rebuild a new skate park. However, the grant funding was not approved. This year, Proposition 68 made $10,375,000 available to cities and local districts on a non-competitive bases and the City was awarded $177,000 for use on any park improvement project. As part of the bid process for the Skate Park, staff has requested a bid from American Ramp Company to replace the skate park ramps in the amount not to exceed $150,000. ARC is part of the Sourcewell Purchasing Co-Op and has gone through the competitive bid process, allowing the City to move forward without request for proposals. As part of the agreement, American Ramp Company will conduct outreach to the King City skateboarding community for input on options for the renovation and implement those ideas in the design of the park. This would leave sufficient funds available for the field renovation of the Little League park. Staff and the King City Little League Board of Directors have been working on a field improvement project for the past six months as part of the King City Parks Improvement Plan. Staff and volunteers have already implemented several improvements, including painting of backstops and bleachers, purchase of new backstop netting, purchase of dugout covers, new window in the

Item No. 9(E)


DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 2020 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER RE: CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER

22 OF THE KING CITY MUNICIPAL CODE GOVERNING PARKING REGULATIONS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF KING CITY

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council waive the second reading by title only and adopt an Ordinance amending Municipal Code Chapter 22 to remove parking restrictions on the portion of North First Street between Lynn Street and Ellis Street. BACKGROUND: The City recently received a request from an adjacent business to remove no parking restrictions on the west side of North First Street between Lynn Street and Ellis Street. They are currently experiencing issues with accessing sufficient parking. Parking restrictions are set forth in Section 10.22.010 of the Municipal Code. Therefore, any changes require adoption of an Ordinance modifying this Code section. An Ordinance was drafted, presented to the City Council at the November 10, 2020 meeting, and introduced by a unanimous vote.

North First Street between Lynn Street and Ellis Street

CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 22 OF THE KING CITY MUNICIPAL CODE GOVERNING PARKING REGULATIONS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF KING CITY NOVEMBER 24, 2020 PAGE 2 OF 3

DISCUSSION: The City has received multiple calls over the past year regarding lack of available parking in this area. No parking restrictions were recently removed on the adjacent areas of Lynn Street and Ellis Street. Staff has supported eliminating parking restrictions where it is determined to be safe in order to help address parking shortages throughout the community. The City Engineer has evaluated the request and determined there is available right-of-way and adequate lane widths for on-street parking at this location. Parking is allowed on the same side of the street the next block to the south and the driving lanes are narrower on that block. Therefore, the City Engineer has recommended removal of the no parking restrictions. At the November 24, 2020 meeting, the Council expressed concerns about the visibility of vehicles turning onto First Street. In response, staff confirmed that an appropriate analysis of visibility clearance requirements would be prepared and utilized to determine red curb required at the ends of the block. COST ANALYSIS: The cost impact of this recommendation will be limited to staff time to prepare the Ordinance and to remove the existing “no parking” signs and red curb. In addition, total publishing costs are estimated to be approximately $400, which can be funded from the existing budget. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment of this project and has determined that it falls within the Categorical Exemption set forth in Section 15301, which exempts minor alterations to existing structures and facilities because this is a minor change to parking that will not expand existing uses. Furthermore, staff has determined that none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, section 15300.2 apply to this project. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are presented for Council consideration: 1. Approve staff’s recommendation; 2. Make changes to the ordinance and then re-introduce; 3. Direct staff to pursue other suggestions to address the parking concern;

Item No. 9(F)


DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 2020 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE AGENCY/CITY

COUNCIL FROM: MIKE HOWARD, FINANCE DIRECTOR RE: CONSIDERATION OF THE FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL

PROGRESS REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2020-2021

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council of the City of King City receive and accept the First Quarter Financial Progress Report for the Fiscal Year 2020-2021. BACKGROUND: The following Financial Report for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2020-2021 includes a review and analysis of the actual revenues and expenditures recorded through September 30, 2020. As part of the Finance Department goals for this year, it is staff’s desire to present more frequent financial updates to the City Council, especially in light of the current COVID-10 pandemic. The current report shows a Fiscal Year-to-Date General Fund deficit of $795,011 compared to a Fiscal Year-End budgeted deficit of $8,863. At this point, the City is 25% of the way through the fiscal year. We would expect our budget to be at or below that level based on the schedule of when revenues are received and expenditures occur. DISCUSSION: Exhibit A – General Fund As illustrated, the General Fund currently shows a net operating deficit of $795,011 in comparison to a budgeted deficit of $8,863. Total General Fund revenues are at 12.31%, which is to be expected at this time of year since the first installment of the property tax revenues will not be received until December 2020. Property taxes make up about 28% of the General Fund

revenues. Additionally, sales tax has a two-month lag time and therefore only one month is reflected in the current report. The effect on sales tax receipts for the period of April through June of 2020 as compared to the same months for the previous year have shown a decline of 34.9% of the Bradley-Burns Sales Tax and an increase of 22.8% for the Local Sales Tax. In total, the year-to-year comparison resulted in $87,056 less sales tax dollars for this three-month period. Since the budget adjustments approved by the Council to address the impacts of COVID-19 included an overall projected decrease of 20%, thus far the City is well on target to stay on budget. In the first quarter of the Fiscal Year, the City received the first three payments of CARES Act funding. This means the City has received $91,350 of the committed $182,700. At the time the budget was adopted and amended, these funds were not known, and therefore, not budgeted. At our Mid-Year Review, staff will provide a budget amendment to the City Council to reflect the receipt of the total CARES Act receipts. In general, expenses seem to be in line with the budget. There is one department that appears out of line, which is the Non-Departmental budget. However, that is due to the fiscal-year budget amendments related to salary reductions recorded in this department until a formal mid-year review is prepared and all current salaries are allocated. The General Fund total expenditures are at 23.03%, or just under the 25% as previously mentioned. Exhibit B – Enterprise Funds The enterprise funds (Sewer and King City Community Power) are reporting revenues at an average of 17.44% of the annual budget for the fiscal year, whereas expenditures are at 24.50%. The COVID-19 pandemic has not currently had a significant impact on Sewer collections due to orders issued by the State not allowing shut-off for non-payment and charging late fess on delinquent accounts. When comparing prior year collections for the same period we have seen an increase of $17,035. Much of this is due to new sewer connections due to new residential construction and the July 1, 2020 rate increase. The new connections are masking reductions due to non-payment of sewer fees from the current pandemic. In addition, there was some reduction from the audit of accounts and reimbursement to accounts that had been overbilled.

DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 2020 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: OCTAVIO HURTADO, CITY ENGINEER RE: CONSIDERATION OF A GRANT OF A PUBLIC SERVICE

EASEMENT ALONG SOUTH FIRST STREET

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended City Council: 1) adopt Resolution No. 2020-4793 approving acceptance of a grant of public service easement along South First Street on a portion of lands as described in the Certificate of Compliance Lot Merger Recorded as Document 2020049227 on September 18, 2020; and 2) authorize the City Manager to make minor changes to the public service easement if required by the County Recorder’s Office and deferred improvement agreement. BACKGROUND: Tom Willoughby is in the process of developing his property at 740 South First Street, which includes completion of a lot merger. As a condition of approval, it is necessary to dedicate a public service easement for the construction of street widening, curb, gutter and sidewalk to construct South First Street to its full width in the future. DISCUSSION: This public service easement dedication is necessary to complete the overall street section improvements as development occurs along South First Street. The project is conditioned to enter into a deferred improvement agreement for the construction of full width street improvements, including curb gutter and sidewalk. Since a major portion of the street to the north is undeveloped, costly and complicated drainage improvements would be required if the sidewalk, curb and gutters were installed at this time. Therefore, the developer is required to enter into the agreement committing to install the improvements when the adjacent

DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 2020 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER RE: CONSIDERATION OF COVID-19 STATUS REPORT

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council: 1) receive the status report on City COVID-19 related activities; and 2) provide staff direction on any additional actions requested. BACKGROUND:

On March 4, 2020, the Governor of California declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway, and help the state prepare for broader spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). On March 13, 2020, the President declared a National State of Emergency. As a result, on March 16, 2020, the City Manager signed a Proclamation of Local Emergency in King City, which was ratified by the City Council on March 20, 2020. On March 18th, the Monterey County Health Officer issued a Shelter in Place Order, which was reissued on April 3rd with increased restrictions. Under the Municipal Code, the County Health Officer also serves as the City’s Health Officer. A similar order was issued by the Governor of California for the entire State of California on March 19th, which has been followed with a number of subsequent changes. On April 30, 2020, a subsequent Order was issued by the County Health Officer, which allows additional businesses to reopen under restrictions and established protocols. Since then, the State has approved a variance request from the County of Monterey enabling the County to proceed to an additional stage of the “Resilience Roadmap for State Reopening”, which allowed indoor restaurant dining, indoor retail sales and churches. Additional orders were issued by the County Health Officer on May 8, 2020 and May 26, 2020 to implement the reopening process consistent with the State guidelines. In response to the

CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF COVID-19 STATUS REPORT NOVEMBER 24, 2020 PAGE 2 OF 8

Governor’s Order, an Order was issued by the County Health Officer on July 8th that once again prohibits operation of bars and indoor dine-in restaurants. On Friday, August 28th, the Governor issued a new blueprint for reducing COVID-19 in the state with revised criteria for loosening and tightening restrictions. The primary impact on King City is that salons are now allowed to open. The new blueprint places each county in one of 4 risk levels: widespread, substantial, moderate and minimal. Monterey County is in the widespread tier. All but 19 counties in the state are in the same tier. To move to the substantial tier, it must experience less than 7 daily new cases per 100,000 people for 2 consecutive weeks. The City has been tasked with enforcing the Orders. Therefore, at the April 14th meeting, the City Council adopted an Urgency Ordinance establishing enforcement and appeals procedures for the orders of the County Health Officer related to the COVID-19 pandemic within the City of King in order to establish an effective and clear process. At the May 12, 2020 meeting, the City Council voted to extend the enforcement and appeals procedures through June 9, 2020, at which time it expired. Since the pandemic began, the City has been involved in implementing an extensive number of measures aimed at enforcement of the County’s orders, safety of City facilities and staff, public education, business assistance, and assistance to the public in need due to the impacts of COVID-19. The City has attempted to maintain a consistent approach throughout this crisis in order to respond to both health and economic needs, as well as the diverse concerns of those in the community. This approach has been to maintain the City’s focus on fulfilling the responsibilities it is assigned in the most fair and impartial manner possible; to accurately follow the directions of the County Health Officer, Governor and medical experts; and to take all proactive steps feasible to effectively manage the tasks assigned, but to limit actions to the City’s authority and technical expertise. At the June 23, 2020 meeting, the City Council requested staff to place on each agenda an ongoing status report of City COVID-19 efforts. In response, staff has prepared this report, which provides a history and summary of the impacts, status and response related to COVID-19 in King City. Staff intends to provide the same written report to the Council each meeting with new activities added to it. By doing that, anyone from the public seeking information can obtain the full overview be accessing the most recent report.


DISCUSSION:\ COVID-19 Case Summary As of November 17, 2020, the County of Monterey has had a total of 13,189 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 746 hospitalizations, and 111 fatalities. Of the total number of cases, 9,758 have recovered. In the 93930 zip code, there have been a total of 904 cases, which represents 6.85% of the total in Monterey County and an increase of 46 over the last two-week period. Of this number, 735 have recovered. This represents only 31 new cases in our zip code over the past two weeks, which is an improvement when compared to other areas of the county, state and country. However, staff remains concerned about the upcoming winter months. The rate of the surge taking place around the country could threaten the capacity of the health care system if it continues. Completed and Ongoing City Activities The following is a summary of the most significant measures the City has taken in response to the pandemic since it began:

• A comprehensive Pandemic Emergency Plan was immediately prepared, implemented and continues to be updated as circumstances evolve.

• The City is coordinating closely with the other South Monterey County cities, and the City’s multi-agency Emergency Preparedness Committee has met via teleconference on a regular basis to coordinate a community-wide response.

• The City partnered with Mee Memorial Hospital to access N-95 masks and training for public safety personnel.

• Strict sanitation and social distancing policies have been implemented in all City operations.

• All City public events and recreation programs were cancelled.

• All park playground, restroom and picnic areas were closed and signs and temporary fencing installed.

• Technology capabilities were established to implement telecommuting practices to reduce the number of staff on site. Public Works crews were divided into separate work units to avoid potential exposure. With the


reopening of City Hall, these practices have been discontinued at this time except on an as needed basis.

• New procedures were established and technology acquired to implement virtual City Council and other regular ongoing meetings.

• Notification of each of the Shelter in Place Orders issued by the County Health Officer were translated and distributed door to door to each business by the Police Department.

• Retail business public safety best practices were drafted and delivered to each exempted business during the Shelter in Place Order prior to the State’s guidance of safety requirements.

• The Police Department established a process for making determinations on which businesses met the criteria of an “essential” business in a fair and impartial manner, as well as response to other questions regarding what activities are allowed.

• King City was the only jurisdiction in Monterey County to adopt its own enforcement, citation and appeal ordinance.

• Information was distributed to the public regarding procedures to report price gauging violations.

• Warning signs for customers were prepared and placed at the entrance of every exempted store. These have now been replaced by new professionally designed and printed signs that have been distributed to each business to display on their window.

• Instructional pedestrian signs were placed on the sidewalks in the downtown area, and handwashing stations were placed at strategic locations throughout the commercial areas. These items were removed when most businesses were allowed to reopen.

• A budget contingency plan to address the revenue impacts from COVID-19 was prepared and later adopted by the City Council.


• The Finance Department submitted an application for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement of COVID-19 emergency response expenditures and established an expense tracking system.

• The City has distributed public education information to the public on an ongoing basis through regular Facebook posts, flyers, press releases, KRKC radio ads, and public service announcements.

• A direct mailer was distributed to every household to notify the public on the County Health Officer Order requiring face coverings.

• A special issue of the City Newsletter was dedicated entirely to information on COVID-19 and was distributed to every household and business.

• The City developed a contact list of local agricultural employers, facilitated a virtual training session with Mee Memorial Hospital provided to representatives of each employer, developed and distributed guidelines and requested best practices, and provided masks at no cost for agricultural workers.

• City staff prepared an inventory of all food and supply assistance and delivery programs, prepared and distributed informational materials to the public on the services available, coordinated with the Monterey County Food Bank to provide a new weekly food pickup program, and acquired resources to make available free pet food and diapers to the public in need on a periodic basis.

• The City partnered with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) to offer personal assistance to business owners in applying for Federal Cares Act and other funding grants and loans, prepared and mailed multiple flyers on each of the deadlines to every King City business, and contacted businesses by phone to promote workshops held by the SBDC.


• The City Council adopted an ordinance to prohibit evictions of commercial tenants to accompany the Governor’s Order restricting evictions of residential tenants.

• Restricted parking was installed upon request to assist restaurants to provide curbside service.

• A program was developed in partnership with Cal Water to freeze minimum water and wastewater accounts while businesses were closed.

• Hundreds of free Census 2020 masks were distributed by the Police Department to businesses to provide to their customers.

• Equipment was purchased and installed at City Hall to protect the health of City employees and customers in order to reopen City Hall, which include screens, signage, floor mat social distancing signs, and access barriers.

• The City developed an expanded public information campaign in July to increase public safety compliance by promoting the importance of three basic practices; 1: wearing face coverings; 2) distancing 6 feet from other individuals; and 3) washing hands before touching one’s face. Since regulations became increasingly complex and rapidly changing, the campaign was designed to emphasize the most important basics. A public information mailer was designed and mailed to all households within King City and the surrounding areas. New radio ads have aired on KRKC and frequent items are posted on Facebook.

• A process has been established on how to respond if an employee is tested positive for COVID-19, which has been communicated to all employees. Human Resources has tracked and is prepared to implement all leave benefits established by the Federal government.

• The City Council adopted an urgency ordinance establishing a citation process on face covering requirements. Staff released a press release, posted a Facebook announcement, and included information on the website.

• Banners with park restrictions have been designed, printed and installed at City parks.


• In response to the letter submitted by the Mayor to the County Health Officer, flyers were received from the County providing bounce house safety information. The flyers have been printed and distributed by the Police Department to party stores with a request to provide a copy to anyone renting a bounce house.

• The City led an extensive effort to help identify strategies to relocate the homeless individuals in the nearby encampment to temporary or permanent housing. A committee consisting of over 30 representatives from multiple agencies has been meeting on a regular basis. Funding has been obtained from the County Homeless Coalition and staff is pursuing other funding sources through the County and the City’s allocation of various CARES funds. Information was recorded for each individual by a team of case workers, who worked together to identify assistance each may be eligible for based on their specific situation and needs. A few of the individuals were relocated to programs available. Staff has assisted the County in providing a family shelter at a local hotel for a two-week period until permanent housing is ready for them to relocate. Staff is also continuing to work with County staff on a proposal for a homeless rapid rehousing project.

• Playgrounds reopened based on State authorization and new guidelines and restrictions. Staff installed signage to post all the restrictions. Cleaning procedures were established for Monday and Friday mornings.

Current City Activities

• Three grants and additional contributions have been obtained to fund a program of providing rent, mortgage and utility bill assistance for those whose incomes have been negatively impacted by COVID-19. The program was launched on October 15th. Over 200 applications have been received.

• Staff is continuing a public information campaign to encourage the public to comply with State guidelines for gatherings during the holidays and winter months to address concerns regarding an increase in COVID-19 cases.

• Since the face covering ordinance was adopted, the Police Department has issued 27 warnings, 10 citations and distributed 249 masks.

COST ANALYSIS: No cost impact is associated with this item since it is limited to an update of past and current activities. Staff continues to track expenses associated with the COVID-19 response for 75% FEMA reimbursement.


ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Since this is an update on ongoing activities, this matter is not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change to the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Provide staff direction on any desired additional actions; 3. Provide staff direction on any current activities Council requests to change

or discontinue; or 4. Provide staff other direction.
