SUBJECT: Approval of Activate Auburn Program Guidelines and Revised Economic Development Support Program Guidelines

Summary and Recommendation The redevelopment and reuse of the City’s existing corridors, especially Auburn Boulevard, continue to be a priority for the City. In order to facilitate the redevelopment and reuse of the City’s major corridors, the Activate Auburn Campaign has been developed. Staff presented the Activate Auburn Campaign to City Council during a study session on January 14, 2016. The Campaign will be a pilot program that will be revisited in 12-18 months. The Campaign includes regulatory changes, one-on-one consulting, grants and fee waivers for property and business owners. The Campaign is being funded by a Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Community Design Grant and the City’s Economic Development Support Fund. Staff has drafted program guidelines for the entire Activate Auburn Campaign, detailing each type of assistance, in addition to making revisions to the City’s Economic Development Support Fund program guidelines to facilitate implementation of the Campaign.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the following Resolutions: 1. Resolution 2016____, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, approving Activate Auburn Program Guidelines. 2. Resolution 2016____, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, approving revised Economic Development Support Fund Guidelines.

Fiscal Impact The Activate Auburn Campaign is being funded by a SACOG Community Design Grant and the City’s Economic Development Support Fund. Revisions to the Economic Development Support Fund Guidelines for Sign Improvement include the elimination of an application fee. This will result in the loss of $50 per application to the General Fund. Since the start of the program in Fiscal Year 2013-2014, the City has received a total of $300 in administration fees to the General Fund.

Agenda Packet Page9 Subject: Approval of Activate Auburn Program Guidelines and Revised Economic Development Support Program Guidelines Date: March 10, 2016 Page 2 of 3

Background and Analysis Recently, the City completed the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project, an approximately $20 million public investment, and design has begun on Phase II of the Project. However, the City’s commitment to corridor revitalization has not only been in the form of public improvements, there is a concerted economic development effort to assist businesses as well. Recently, economic development staff has been working to support a new business association, the Auburn Boulevard Business Association, and with technical assistance from SACOG, the Building Blocks event was held May 4-6, 2015 to assist Auburn Boulevard business and property owners with what they can start doing tomorrow to improve their business. On January 14, 2016, staff presented the Activate Auburn Campaign, a variety of regulatory changes, complimentary one-on-one consulting and grant opportunities staff developed to improve market conditions over time and spur the private investment envisioned in the Boulevard Plan.

Staff has developed guidelines for the Activate Auburn Campaign, including description of each type of assistance offered, applicant eligibility, limitation on assistance and other procedural information to guide the operation of the Campaign. Activate Auburn will provide the following assistance to property and business owners: complimentary one-on-one design/architectural and/or Best Retail Practices consulting, storefront matching grant (if applicant has participated in the Design Consulting); Best Retail Practices grant (if applicant has participated in the Best Retail Practices consulting) and fee waivers (for planning related fees only).

Like the Sign Improvement and Design Assistance programs covered under Part 2 of the Economic Development Support Fund, Activate Auburn Campaign applications will be approved by staff if they meet the program criteria. No review or approval by the Finance Committee or City Council will be required. The Activate Auburn program guidelines are included as Attachment 2.

The one-on-one consulting will be funded by the SACOG Community Design Grant, while the grants and fee waiver will be funded by the Economic Development Support Fund. It is anticipated that complimentary consulting will be provided to approximately ten businesses or property owners. In addition, if successful and funding permitting, the complimentary consulting will eventually be available to all businesses in the City’s commercial corridors, but to start this is a pilot program that will be focused on assisting Auburn Boulevard businesses and properties.

The Economic Development Support Fund provides a variety of grants and sponsorships to business associations, business groups and other efforts, as well as sign improvement grants and design assistance. Under the Activate Auburn Campaign, the Economic Development Support Fund will fund the storefront improvement and best retail practices grants and fee waivers. To facilitate the use of the Economic Development Support Fund for Activate Auburn Campaign activities, Economic Development staff evaluated the program guidelines for all aspects of the Economic Development Support Fund. Staff is recommending the following revisions to implement the Activate Auburn Campaign, reduce barriers and encourage participation in the programs:

Agenda Packet Page10 Subject: Approval of Activate Auburn Program Guidelines and Revised Economic Development Support Program Guidelines Date: March 10, 2016 Page 3 of 3

 Removal of application fee from Sign Improvement Guidelines. Staff is not recommending application fees for any of the Activate Auburn assistance and the Sign Improvement program is the only Economic Development program that currently requires an application fee. Staff would like to create consistency across all programs and encourage participation in the Sign Improvement Program.

 Removal of limitation on how much of the Economic Development Support Fund can be used for Design Assistance and Sign Improvement versus the other Economic Development Support Fund activities covered in the Part 1 guidelines. With the Activate Auburn Campaign, matching storefront grants, best practices retail grants and fee waivers will also be funded by the Economic Development Support Fund. In addition to the sign improvement assistance, staff expects to reach the maximum of 25 percent of the $150,000 ($37,500) Economic Development Support Fund quickly.

 Other clean-up revisions, such as allowing the City Manager to approve Economic Development Support Grants for $5,000 or less and the addition of the Auburn Boulevard Business Association as an eligible applicant. The current guidelines allow the City Manager to approve requests less than $5,000, meaning an application is for $4,999.

The revised red-line version of the program guidelines are included as Attachment 4, 5 and 6.

Conclusion The redevelopment and reuse of the City’s existing corridors, especially Auburn Boulevard, continues to be a priority for the City. The City was recently granted a SACOG Community Design Grant to support corridor revitalization. With this funding and funding from the Economic Development Support Fund, staff has developed a pilot program called Activate Auburn that includes a variety of regulatory changes, one-on-one complimentary consulting, grants and fee waivers. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Activate Auburn program guidelines and revised Economic Development Support Fund guidelines.

INTRODUCTION The City of Citrus Heights created the Sign Improvement Program (Program) to assist small businesses in the City make improvements to their sign(s), eliminate blight, and encourage economic development. The improvements made by the property owner are maintained through acquisition of a Sign Improvement Covenant. The covenant commits property owners to preserve the improvements to their sign(s) on their existing commercial property located within the City.

The Program’s use of a Sign Improvement Covenant is intended to enhance and preserve sign improvements and establish a continuing maintenance agreement for those improvements. All improvements are paid for by the applicant and approved by the City prior to purchase of the covenant. The value of the Sign Improvement Covenant will be calculated based on the eligible improvements. The intent of the program is to physically enhance the properties within the City’s commercial districts. The funds are not intended for standard maintenance, repair, or to allow larger, taller, brighter, or more prominent signs simply because the business believes it is necessary. Projects that exemplify the City Design Guidelines will receive priority funding.

The City’s investment in the Sign Improvement Covenant furthers its goals of supporting the revitalization of commercial properties and improving the economic vitality within the City’s commercial corridors.

The key features of the Program are:

 Participant will convey a Sign Improvement Covenant to the City which will place certain terms and conditions on the development and maintenance of the building signs for a three-year term.  A Sign Improvement Covenant at a value of up to 50% of eligible improvement costs, up to a maximum value of $5,000 (City’s share) and a minimum value of $1,000 (City’s share), may be purchased by the City.  The Sign Improvement Covenant serves to preserve the character of the building and property.  Improvements will be inspected annually to ensure the improvements are preserved in the same character, quality, and condition as that which was in place on the Project Site on the day the City purchased the Sign Improvement Covenant from Participant.  Sign Improvement Covenant will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. In the event that more applications are received than funding available, the City will prioritize applications based on the location within the City’s commercial areas, the benefit the project has upon the City and the level of financial participation by the property owner.

This program is a subprogram to the Economic Development Support Fund. The primary purpose of the Economic Development Support Fund is to provide sponsorships and grants that promote the City of Citrus Heights’ commerce and increase business activity to help do the following:

 Increase job base  Increase tax base

SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution to Authorize the City of Citrus Heights to Apply for CalRecycle Payment Program Funding

Summary and Recommendation

CalRecycle, officially known as the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, administers the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act. Beverage containers covered under the act are subject to California Redemption Value (CRV), which is five (5) cents for containers less than 24 ounces and ten (10) cents for containers 24 ounces or larger. These funds are deposited into the California Beverage Container Recycling Fund. Among other things, this fund supports beverage container recycling and litter cleanup activities undertaken by cities and counties through CalRecycle’s City-County Payment Program.

The goal of the City-County Payment Program is to reach and maintain an 80 percent recycling rate for all California Refund Value (CRV) beverage containers--aluminum, glass, plastic and bi- metal. Projects implemented by cities and counties assist in reaching and maintaining this goal.

Funds from the current Payment Program support recycling education, outreach and activities throughout the City and region. Examples include the annual holiday recycling campaign conducted in partnership with the Regional Recycling Group, the Center recycling education and art project, and trash-recycling containers in public places such as bus stops, City facilities and parks.

CalRecycle has advised local agencies to adopt a Resolution specific to CalRecycle’s Payment Programs (non-competitive funding opportunities) to be in compliance with Program requirements which will take effect for the FY 15-16 cycle. In previous cycles, there was no requirement for a City Council adopted resolution.

Staff is recommending the City Council adopt a resolution that will authorize the City to apply for all available Payment Program funds offered through CalRecycle for which the City is

SUBJECT: Auburn Boulevard Plan 2016 Update

Summary and Recommendation

On February 24, 2016, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council adopt the changes to the Boulevard Plan.

Motion 1: The proposed changes to the Boulevard Plan are minor in nature and the previous adopted Environmental Impact Report is found to be sufficient. No additional environmental review is required.

Motion 2: Adopt Resolution No. 2016-___ approving the amendments to the Boulevard Plan attached to the Resolution.

Fiscal Impact

None.

Background

In February 2005, the City adopted the Boulevard Plan for Auburn Boulevard as a result of months of hearings and public workshops. The Boulevard Plan helped develop a long-term vision for the Boulevard and set the framework for the street improvements that have served as a catalyst for the street.

As a result of the Boulevard Plan, the City has invested a substantial amount of time and money into the streetscape on Auburn Boulevard. The Plan envisions new construction/infill

Agenda Packet Page47 Subject: Boulevard Plan Update 2016 Date: March 10, 2016 Page 2 of 3 redevelopment of parcels fronting Auburn Boulevard. The Boulevard Plan set a vision, but since that vision was established there has been a major downturn in the economy and loss of redevelopment, limiting the private investment within the Plan area.

The current market conditions do not lend to the new construction/redevelopment that is envisioned in the Plan. In order to encourage additional private investment into Auburn Boulevard the City is in the process of developing a program, “ACTivate Auburn”. This program is focused on decreasing vacancies, activating properties and building the Auburn Boulevard brand and identity in order to improve market conditions over time and eventually attract the type of development envisioned in the Plan.

In January 2016, the City Council held a study session to review the ACTivate Auburn framework and provide direction to staff to help initiate the program. City Council provided feedback and direction which resulted in the recommended modifications to the Boulevard Plan. The ACTivate Auburn program is intended to be a pilot project. The program, including changes to the Boulevard Plan, will be reevaluated in 18-24 months.

A description of the proposed amendments to the Boulevard Plan is found in the Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment 1). The proposed changes include:

- Updates to the Land Use Table to provide more consistency between districts and encourage “active” uses - Changes to the Land Use Table to allow automotive uses in buildings that have a history of automotive uses - Changes to the parking regulations to allow flexibility in providing minimum parking requirements.

Exhibit A-1 is a copy of the proposed changes to the Boulevard Plan where you will find the affected pages with changes marked strikeout/underline/highlight format for ease of reading and reference. Attachment 2 is the existing Auburn Boulevard Plan (related pages).

Planning Commission Hearing

On February 24, 2016, the Planning Division presented the proposed Boulevard Plan changes to the Planning Commission at a public hearing. Staff responded to questions from the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval to the City Council. The Planning Commission Staff Report has been included as Attachment 1.

Community Outreach Copies of these proposed changes to the Boulevard Plan were sent to each neighborhood association adjoining the plan area for review, Neighborhood Association #2 (Rusch Park) and Neighborhood Association #6 (Sunrise Ranch), as well as the Auburn Boulevard Business Association (ABBA) and the Citrus Heights Chamber of Commerce. Neighborhood Association #6 indicated via email that they had no concerns. The Citrus Heights Chamber of Commerce provided a letter that supports the proposed changes (Attachment 3). Staff presented the amendments to ABBA and ABBA is supportive of the proposed changes.

Summary Recommendation

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the following motion:

MOTION: MOVE TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION APPROVING THE BOULEVARD PLAN AMENDMENTS AS SHOWN IN EXHIBIT A-1

Background

In February 2005, the City adopted the Boulevard Plan for Auburn Boulevard as a result of months of hearings and public workshops. The Boulevard Plan helped develop a long-term vision for the Boulevard and set the framework for the street improvements that have served as a catalyst for the street.

As a result of the Boulevard Plan, the City has invested a substantial amount of time and money into the streetscape on Auburn Boulevard. The Plan envisions new construction/infill redevelopment of parcels fronting Auburn Boulevard. The Boulevard Plan set a vision, but since that vision was established there has been a major downturn in the economy and loss of redevelopment, limiting the private investment within the Plan area.

The current market conditions do not lend to the new construction/redevelopment that is envisioned in the Plan. In order to encourage additional private investment into Auburn Boulevard the City is in the process of developing a program, “ACTivate Auburn”. This program is focused on decreasing vacancies, activating properties and building the Auburn Boulevard brand and identity in order to improve market conditions over time and eventually attract the type of development envisioned in the Plan.

Agenda Packet Page57 Boulevard Plan Update 2016 February 24, 2016 Page 2

program is intended to be a pilot project. The program, including changes to the Boulevard Plan, will be reevaluated in 18-24 months.

A description of the proposed amendments to the Boulevard Plan is found below. Exhibit A is a copy of the proposed changes to the Boulevard Plan where you will find the affected pages with changes marked strikeout/underline/highlight format for ease of reading and reference. Attachment 1 is the existing Auburn Boulevard Plan (related pages). The changes are also color coded as follows:  Blue/Underline – Inserted Text  Red/Strike Through – Deleted Text

Figure 3-4 Land Use Table (Pages 3-8 – 3-11)

The Land Use Table within the Boulevard Plan regulates what uses are permitted to occur within the Auburn Boulevard Planning Area. This table depicts whether each use is permitted, permitted with a Use Permit, permitted with a Minor Use Permit, or not permitted.

The Boulevard Plan is broken into 6 districts. The current land use table (Attachment 1) has a great deal of variability between what is allowed in each district. The proposed amendment provides more consistent permitting requirements between districts.

In addition, staff reviewed the land use table to evaluate opportunities to encourage new uses that will aid the City in its effort to eliminate vacancies and encourage active uses. As a result, the amendment includes reduction in permitting requirements for many uses. The recommendations strive to balance simplifying the process for active uses while maintaining some restrictions for uses that have the potential to create a negative impact.

For example, the Boulevard Plan currently requires a Minor Use Permit (MUP) for “Groceries, specialty foods”, an active use that the City would like to encourage to locate on Auburn Boulevard. As a result, the proposed amendment recommends changing the permitting requirements from a MUP to permitted (P) to simplify the process and reduce costs for those users.

Automotive Uses

Prior to incorporation, Auburn Boulevard saw a variety of new automotive based uses (sales, rental, repair, etc.) coming to the Boulevard. Shortly after incorporation, the City Council felt that Auburn Boulevard was heading in a direction that was different than what was envisioned. The Council was concerned with related noise and aesthetic impacts associated with the automotive uses.

As such, the City Council made changes to the Zoning Code that limited the ability of new automotive uses to occur on Auburn Boulevard. When the City adopted the Auburn Boulevard Plan, these restrictions were carried over into to the Boulevard Plan Land Use Table. With the exception of the Lincoln 40 district, no new automotive uses were permitted along Auburn Boulevard.

This approach has been successful in limiting the proliferation of new automotive based uses on Auburn Boulevard. Existing automotive uses that predate the Boulevard Plan are allowed to continue to operate indefinitely; however, if the automotive use has been discontinued for over a year, an automotive use is no longer allowed to occupy that site. This has occurred at a few locations along the Boulevard, resulting in buildings clearly designed for automotive uses (roll up garage doors, hydraulic lifts, tall ceilings, etc.) no longer able to be used for their intended purpose. In some cases these buildings have been repurposed; however, in a few cases this has led to long term vacancies along the Boulevard.

Agenda Packet Page58 Boulevard Plan Update 2016 February 24, 2016 Page 3

The City Council directed staff to develop a change that would help add flexibility to address this concern while ensuring new automotive uses are not being constructed. The proposed amendments are intended to allow existing buildings clearly intended for automotive uses to reopen as automotive uses if the user can clearly demonstrate that the site was previously used for a similar use.

Wholesaling and Distribution

The Boulevard Plan currently prohibits “Wholesaling and Distribution”. Wholesaling and Distribution is currently prohibited within the Boulevard Plan because these uses were not considered uses that would aid the City in achieving the vision of the Boulevard Plan.

Wholesaling and Distribution is defined as:

“An establishment engaged in selling merchandise to retailer; to contractors, industrial, commercial, institutional, farm, or professional business users; to other wholesalers; or acting as agents or brokers in buying merchandise for or selling merchandise to such persons or companies”

Although these uses are currently prohibited outright, a wholesaling and distribution use as an accessory use can be a complimentary use that still achieves the goals of the Boulevard Plan. For example, a retailer on Auburn Boulevard may also have a wholesale/distribution center outside of Citrus Heights and be interested in relocating the wholesale component to Auburn Boulevard. This use would be an accessory to the retail component and creating an opportunity to bring new employees to Auburn Boulevard. In addition it may create an opportunity for the owner to leverage financial resources to redevelop the existing retail use into a more vibrant space along Auburn Boulevard. As a result, staff recommends allowing Wholesaling and Distribution as an accessory use as shown in Exhibit A.

Parking Standards (Pages 3-19 – 3-20)

As discussed above, the intent of the proposed amendments is to introduce vibrant, active uses along the corridor to fill vacancies and move towards the Boulevard Plan’s vision. Currently, the boulevard is largely comprised of service uses or uses with low parking demand. As a result, many of the existing parcels have limited parking. Active uses envisioned by the Boulevard Plan generally require more parking than what is currently available for current (or vacant) service uses or warehouses.

The City Council provided direction to allow flexibility in parking requirements. The proposed amendments to the parking section of the Boulevard Plan are intended to facilitate and encourage the reuse of existing buildings. The proposed changes create a suite of parking reductions and provide additional flexibility for off-site parking. This additional flexibility would allow new uses to locate on Auburn Boulevard that may currently not be feasible due to their inability to comply with minimum parking requirements.

Parking Reductions

The proposed amendments include several expanded parking reduction options to help facilitate the reuse of existing buildings:

1. Transit Reduction – Auburn Boulevard is currently served by Regional Transit. The proposed amendments would allow for a five percent parking reduction for those users located within ¼ mile of a transit stop.

Agenda Packet Page59 Boulevard Plan Update 2016 February 24, 2016 Page 4

2. Active Use Reduction – In order to encourage uses that are active in nature, the proposed amendments would allow for a five percent parking reduction for users that are considered active in nature by providing outdoor seating, storefront windows, or provide attractive outdoor displays as guided by the City’s forthcoming retail assistance program.

3. On-street Parking – On-street parking is prohibited on Auburn Boulevard, however it is permitted along side streets which intersect Auburn Boulevard. The proposed changes would allow businesses fronting side streets to count on-street parking along the side streets towards the minimum parking requirements.

Off-site parking

The Boulevard Plan and the Zoning Code currently allow off-site parking if it is located within 300 linear feet of the proposed user. The proposed amendments would allow off-site parking to be located up to ¼ mile away (1,320 linear feet). Staff believes a ¼ mile is a walkable distance and may be most suitable for employee parking.

The City Council expressed concerns that users of off-site parking ¼ mile away and located on the opposite side of the Boulevard may not cross at a legal crosswalk, creating a potential safety issue. As a result, the proposed amendment includes criteria that a legal crossing must be located within 300 linear feet of the proposed use.

Environmental Determination

An Environmental Impact Report was prepared and adopted in February 2005 that evaluated the Boulevard Plan. The proposed changes to the Boulevard Plan are minor in nature, therefore the previously adopted EIR is found to be sufficient.

Community Outreach

Copies of these proposed changes to the Boulevard Plan were sent to each neighborhood association adjoining the plan area for review, Neighborhood Association #2 (Rusch Park) and Neighborhood Association #6 (Sunrise Ranch), as well as the Auburn Boulevard Business Association (ABBA). At the time of the writing of this report staff has not received any comments from either Neighborhood Association. Staff presented the amendments to ABBA and ABBA is supportive of the proposed changes.

Requiring high amounts of on-site parking can result in excessive paving, increase housing and development costs, and produce an oversupply of parking spaces that can go unused for much of the year. The parking standards in this Plan allow for greater flexibility in the provision of parking and reduce the negative impacts of excessive parking.

Memorandum

Henry Tingle, City Manager March 10, 2016

TO: Mayor and City Council Members Henry Tingle, City Manager

FROM: Nick Lagura, Associate Planner Rhonda Sherman, Community and Economic Development Dept. Director

SUBJECT: Green Education Foundation Fee Waiver Request

Summary and Recommendations The Green Education Foundation (GEF) requests a fee waiver of $3,396 to process a Minor User Permit for an unmanned, donation collection facility at 7847 Lichen Drive. The Zoning Code requires a Minor Use Permit to operate a small collection facility at the proposed site.

Should Council approve the requested fee waiver, staff recommends Council direct Planning staff accept a Minor Use Permit application from GEF without an application fee.

Background/Discussion GEF is a national non-profit organization providing free, educational materials and programs to schools, k-12 students and teachers. GEF’s goal is to create a more sustainable future through education.

GEF’s green education programs are funded by fundraising efforts including their unmanned, donation collection sites (used clothes, shoes, book, DVDs and etc.). GEF uses recycled shipping containers which are outfitted with secured intake doors to receive donations and to prevent unauthorized removal of donated materials. Additionally each container comes with a surveillance camera for added security.

The donation collection facility is currently on the property without benefit of permits (Minor Use Permit and Building/Electrical Permit). In a letter dated December 15, 2015, Planning staff notified GEF on the City’s permitting requirement and that GEF was violating the Zoning Code by placing the facility onsite without first obtaining a Minor User Permit.

Included in the staff report is GEF’s request for a fee waiver (Attachment 1). In the letter, GEF describes their fundraising efforts as well as indicates how money paid to secure permits would

Agenda Packet Page67 Subject: Green Education Foundation Fee Waiver Request Date: March 10, 2016 Page 2 take away funds to pay for GEF’s green education efforts. Additionally, staff has included in the report Section 106.60.050 of the Zoning Code which grants Council discretion to waive any planning fees (Attachment 2).

There are other donation collection facilities in the City. Gaia Movement USA, a non-profit organization, operates three unmanned, donation collection sites in the City. All three facilities are permitted which are located at the following addresses: 7010 and 7920 Auburn Boulevard and 7672 Greenback Lane. Staff should also mention Gaia Movement USA paid the application fee when it applied for a Minor Use Permit for each site.

Planning staff will work with GEF to ensure the facility complies with the Zoning Code. In the meantime GEF cannot operate the facility and must remove it from the site until GEF first obtains all required permits including a building permit for any electrical connections to the facility.

Conclusion As noted above the Zoning Code gives Council discretion to waive any planning fees. Staff has presented Council with GEF’s request and information on existing donation collection facilities in the City operated by a non-profit organization. If Council approves the requested fee waiver, staff recommends Council direct Planning staff to accept a Minor Use Permit application from GEF without the required application fee.

SUBJECT: Residential Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Services - Republic Services Contract Amendment

Summary and Recommendation The current Residential Solid Waste and Recycling Services Agreement terminates December 31, 2017 with an option to renegotiate the terms of the Agreement. At this point in the contract term, there is a need to determine whether to begin a procurement process, which could take up to a year or more, or negotiate an extension. Over the past several months, staff has evaluated pros and cons of initiating a procurement process for residential garbage and recycling collection service. Included in the analysis were an evaluation of the current regional rate climate, consultant costs, staff resources needed, length and amount of time involved in administrating a procurement process, recognition that the competitive market has not significantly changed since the current contract was executed in 2011, and an exploration of what benefits could be achieved through a negotiated amendment with Republic Services.

As part of this process, staff worked diligently with Republic Services to develop a proposed set of terms to amend and extend the current agreement with the primary intention of maintaining lower rates. The result is an amended agreement that maintains customer rates at or below 2010 levels through 2019; maintains low rates and ensures rate stability through 2027; addresses needed education and outreach expansion; supports diversion goals; recognizes potential changes in legislation; anticipates higher diversion requirements by CalRecycle; and provides a number of added value services to the community. Enhanced education and outreach activities, expanded programs and services, as well as added value components would be effective as of date of execution. The rate structure approved under the current agreement would remain in effect until commencement of the term extension, whereupon the first two years, 2018 and 2019, will have no rate increase.

Staff met with members of the Finance Committee on December 1, 2015 and received direction to come forward to the full City Council with the terms of the proposed amendment. The attached Amended Agreement has incorporated the proposed terms and updated the Agreement to be consistent with current definitions, service levels and field operations.

Agenda Packet Page74 Subject: Residential Solid Waste Collection Amended Agreement Date: March 10, 2016 Page 2 of 8

Staff is recommending the City Council Adopt the Resolution Approving the Amended Agreement and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amendment.

Fiscal Impact The Amended Agreement allows the City to keep rates low for residents and achieve modest increases in the franchise fee in the latter part of the extension. The proposed amendment includes an increase from the current Franchise Fee rate of 7% to 8% in 2021 and to 10% in 2025.

Background and Analysis There is a need for City Council direction on whether or not to initiate a procurement process for residential garbage and recycling collection service. The current agreement is set to expire on December 31, 2017 unless an extension or amendment is negotiated between the parties. Should the City wish to initiate a procurement process, the City will need to solicit proposals for consultant services in early 2016.

The approximately two-year procurement process includes significant expense and staff time commitment. The City conducted a procurement process in 2004 at the initial expense of approximately $148,000 in consultant fees, plus extensive staff time. The transition to then BFI Waste Services from Sacramento County carried an additional consultant price tag of approximately $116,500 plus extensive staff time (over 10 years ago). Thus, approximately $264,500 in consultant costs were incurred throughout the RFP and transition process.

Types of task items a procurement process includes, but are not limited to, evaluation and updating of the services agreement, updating of any ordinance requirements, development and administration of the Request For Proposal (RFP), conducting a pre-qualification process, administration of anti-collusion assurances, pre-proposal sessions with prospective haulers, responding to Requests for Information (RFIs), comprehensive evaluation of respondents’ proposals, development of recommendations and presentation to the City Council for award considerations.

If a new service provider is selected, the City can expect transition expenses for items such as ensuring appropriate vehicle and cart inventory, review and audit of proposed collection route maps, audit of equipment inventory, licensing and testing protocols, public education and outreach planning and implementation, coordination of billing and account transition, and instituting procedures to ensure compliance with AB939 and related laws and regulations. The staff resources, time and expense associated with a procurement and transition process are significant.

The City conducted an extensive procurement process in 2004 with one responsive proposer, and underwent a thorough and transparent exploration of potential alternative service providers in 2010 resulting in a new agreement with the current service provider. The 2010 process included a Request for Statement of Interest (RSI) and required respondents to demonstrate the ability to

Agenda Packet Page75 Subject: Residential Solid Waste Collection Amended Agreement Date: March 10, 2016 Page 3 of 8

deliver high quality, experienced, responsive and low-cost residential garbage collection and recycling services. Of the two (2) respondents (Atlas and GreenWaste Recovery, Inc.), neither one had local residential experience as a company.

Since the 2010 process, the field of prospective proposers does not appear to have broadened, based on staff understanding of the current market. Because there is a strong possibility of the same proposers participating in an RFP process as those who participated in the 2010 RSI process, it looks to be a prudent course of action to proceed with an extension to the current service agreement. The opportunity to negotiate an amendment to extend the Agreement is identified as an option within the current contract. If it is determined to move forward with the Amended Agreement, the enhanced services and program benefits will begin upon its execution, versus waiting two years for a new agreement to commence.

As part of the analysis to determine whether or not to recommend to recommend a negotiated Amendment, staff has been working with Republic Services to develop mutually acceptable terms to include in the Amended Agreement. The main tenets of the terms are to maintain rate stability, continue to improve education and outreach, replace all current collection vehicle fleet with clean compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles by 2018, and ensure City compliance with current and future State recycling/diversion requirements.

The following discussion sets forth key components of the proposed amendment.

1) Rate Stabilization: The current contract (expires December 31, 2017) results in a net rate decrease at the end of the term. The proposed agreement maintains rate stability with no increases in years 1 and 2 (2018-2019) of the extension. Modest maximum rate adjustments are proposed in years 3-10 using a water-sewer-trash CPI as a factor in determining rate adjustments each year. Thus, through 2019, residential rates will remain at or below 2010 levels. From 2020-2027, rates will be maintained with modest, capped annual increases at a maximum of 3.5% and a floor of 1.75%.

Residential Rate Impacts The proposed rate structure provides cost savings and rate stabilization over the new 10-year term of the agreement. Specifically, customer rates will be managed as follows:

 2018 - NO increase - rates lower than in 2010  2019 - NO increase – rates lower than in 2010  2020 - CPI maximum increase 3.5%; minimum increase 1.75%  2021 - CPI maximum increase 3.5%; minimum increase 1.75%  2022 - CPI maximum increase 3.5%; minimum increase 1.75%  2023 - CPI maximum increase 3.5%; minimum increase 1.75%  2024 - CPI maximum increase 3.5%; minimum increase 1.75%  2025 - CPI maximum increase 3.5%; minimum increase 1.75%  2026 - CPI maximum increase 3.5%; minimum increase 1.75%  2027 - CPI maximum increase 3.5%; minimum increase 1.75%

Agenda Packet Page76 Subject: Residential Solid Waste Collection Amended Agreement Date: March 10, 2016 Page 4 of 8

By the end of the term extension in 2027, residential rates will have been maintained at modest increases based on CPI data as a baseline factor in determining setting each annual adjustment rate. The Maximum Range Impact Table below demonstrates maximum rates for the life of the Amended Agreement.

History of Rate Stabilization with Republic Services

It is significant to note the history of negotiated rate adjustments over the course of contracting history with Republic Services, Allied Waste, and BFI. In 2004, the City issued an RFP for residential waste and recycling collection services concurrently with the City of Rancho Cordova. The City received one response (from BFI) and Rancho Cordova received a proposal from BFI and one from Sacramento County. The proposed rates from the County were significantly higher than what BFI proposed. The City and Rancho Cordova both selected BFI as

Agenda Packet Page77 Subject: Residential Solid Waste Collection Amended Agreement Date: March 10, 2016 Page 5 of 8

the preferred service provider. During the term of the agreement with BFI/Allied Waste, the Residential Rate Index used for determining rate adjustments soared as high as 7.7%. Allied worked with the City to spread the rate increase over multiple years to avoid high rate increases for customers and/or a higher City subsidy.

In 2010, the City had to decide whether to initiate a procurement process again. As part of the analysis and recommendation, a 2010 Request for Statement of Interest (RSI) process was conducted. The RSI exercise resulted in a transparent and time-consuming process to test the market for prospective qualified competition. At the same time, Republic Services (then Allied Waste) negotiated in good faith with the City, presenting an expanded services package and a rate schedule that resulted in no increase in year one of the agreement and decreased customer costs by 5% each year for 2 consecutive years after that. Modest, capped increases through the end of the term mean that at the end of 2017, customers will still be paying less than they were in 2010.

Citrus Heights customer rates from Republic Services have continued to be below those of the County in general and are lower than most, if not all, other local agencies (Exhibit B is a 2015 Table of Regional Rate Comparisons).

Besides the lowest rates in the Sacramento area (based on 2016 comparable service levels at the 60-65 gallon garbage cart size), it is also key to consider the consistently responsive customer service provided by drivers and customer service staff since the original service agreement in 2005. Another critical consideration is the additional FREE services provided (curbside battery and used oil/filter collection, appointment-based sharps collection, school recycling education, targeted education and outreach programs, etc.), further expanding value to the overall customer service package.

2) Franchise Fee Update: The current agreement imposes a 7% franchise fee for the collections services agreement. The proposed agreement includes stepped increases in the franchise fee over the life of the extension, starting with 8% in years 4-7 (2021-2024) and 10% in years 8-10 (2025-2027). This schedule will bring the Franchise Fee up to the low end of today’s standard franchise fees in the region, which typically range between 10% in the Sacramento region up to 15% in Yolo County cities (March 2015 survey).

3) Collection Vehicles: The current agreement requires Republic Services to replace all vehicles over 10 years or 250,000 miles. Just over half of the Citrus Heights fleet will be due for replacement in 2016. City staff and Republic are proposing to wait until 2017 to change out the fleet, and then convert the entire fleet to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in the first two years of the extension. One half of the trucks will be replaced in 2017 and the remainder in 2018. This means Republic Services will be serving City residents using a brand new fleet of clean air vehicles by December 31, 2018. The use of CNG vehicles supports goals and objectives in the City’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (GGRP).

Agenda Packet Page78 Subject: Residential Solid Waste Collection Amended Agreement Date: March 10, 2016 Page 6 of 8

4) Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Events: The current structure of the HHW drop off events includes three drop off events per year. The events have typically taken place every 4 months, in February, June and October. The February event historically has the least amount of participants, ranging from 238 in 2014 to a high of 360 in 2015. Republic is trying an April date in 2016 instead of February and potentially eliminating one of the drop-off events in 2017, conducting increased outreach and education for the remaining two events. Republic and City staff are evaluating the program to develop recommendations for future years.

A comparison of the last few years shows that participation in general, has stayed fairly constant.

2014: 1380 2014 2015 February June October February June October 2015: 1394 238 400 742 360 702 332

NOTE: The high volumes in October 2014 and June 2015 are likely due to the direct mailer (2014) and door-hanger (2015).

5) Enhanced Services: The proposed extension includes additional services along with more robust education and outreach efforts to support increased source reduction, reuse, recycling and diversion goals and ensure compliance with State regulations. a. Curbside Collection Programs: Residents will continue to receive the curbside batteries, sharps and used oil/filter collection services and Republic will ramp up outreach and education to make sure residents are aware of these programs. b. Additional Leaf Collection: Residents will be able to set out up to six 30-gallon bags of leaves during leaf drop months (usually November – January) for complimentary collection. The current agreement allows up to two bags to be set out on Green Waste collection day and $2.83 per bag is charged after the 2 free courtesy bags (no more than six bags total). c. Additional Illegal Dump/Community Cleanup Credit: The proposed extension adds 100 cubic yards to result in a capacity for up to 600 cubic yards of illegal dumps and/or community cleanups each calendar year. d. Free Compost and Compost Education: Republic commits to provision of free compost for residential use at a location mutually agreed upon in or near the City, easily accessible to Citrus Heights residents. Additionally, Republic will offer Citrus Heights residents up to 3 yards of compost per year to be picked up at the Elder Creek Transfer Station. e. City Facilities: The proposed extension expands service to City facilities to ALL City facilities, with no limit on service levels, frequencies or locations. Republic

Agenda Packet Page79 Subject: Residential Solid Waste Collection Amended Agreement Date: March 10, 2016 Page 7 of 8

staff will also provide recycling training, education and equipment to ensure all City staff and volunteers are actively engaged in source reduction, reuse and recycling. This will enable all staff and volunteers to provide leadership to each other and the community as well as supporting City compliance with the State and City recycling requirements.

6) Enhanced Customer Outreach, Education and Recognition: Republic proposes several enhancements to its education and outreach efforts. a. Republic staff will expand the highly successful “3R” education program to all interested Citrus Heights schools (public and private). The “3R” program targets first – third grade students, engaging them in interactive recycling exercises that have been developed to achieve curriculum requirements. b. Republic Services will sponsor three $1,000 scholarships on an annual basis for Citrus Heights high school seniors interested in sustainability education. c. Republic Services will support Citrus Heights schools in developing, implementing and maintaining sustainable recycling programs. These efforts will be outlined and mutually agreed upon on an annual basis. d. Republic Services will collaborate with City staff and provide content for City- sponsored education media (paper, electronic, website, social media, etc.) and provide education regarding programs and services to a minimum of ten community organizations and/or community events and public venues as mutually agreed upon during the annual planning process. e. Organics Recycling: Republic Services will incorporate pilot organics recycling and/or additional composting education into the annual education plan each year. f. Performance Monitoring: Republic will conduct an annual customer satisfaction survey via the REACH Neighborhood Associations and/or other residential community groups. g. Two Additional Programs: Republic will work with City staff to develop additional programs as requested. Programs may include: Reuse round-up, poster contest, food waste programs, or other programs as mutually agreed upon and updated as part of the annual programming process.

Please see Exhibit A, a table comparing services and benefits in the current agreement to the proposed extension.

7) Added Value Items: As added value to the amended service agreement, Republic Services will provide dead wildlife pick up service from City Right-Of-Way within one business day of City request. Republic Services will also provide two new utility services vehicles of the City’s choosing over the life of the agreement. The vehicle specifications will be provided by the City and Republic Services will purchase and maintain the

Agenda Packet Page80 Subject: Residential Solid Waste Collection Amended Agreement Date: March 10, 2016 Page 8 of 8

vehicles throughout the agreement term. The vehicles will be owned by the City and all maintenance provided by Republic Services.

8) Local Processing: Republic will continue to use the Elder Creek Transfer Station in Sacramento County and Forward Landfill in Stockton for waste disposal. Recyclables will continue to be processed through the Newbie Island facility in Milpitas. Items that are not collected separately in Neighborhood Clean Up (appliances, tires, e-waste and bulky green waste/wood, etc.) program will be processed locally, using Solid Waste Authority (SWA) certified sorting facilities.

9) Term: 10 Year Extension with Service Improvements and Benefits Effective Date of Execution Date

The current contract term is January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2017 with an option to negotiate an extension. The new contract extension term and rates will go into effect January 1, 2018 and expire on December 31, 2027. The current rate structure will remain in effect until January 1, 2018 when the “extension” begins, but all service improvements and benefits will begin immediately upon execution of the amendment.

Thus, if the Amended Agreement is awarded as proposed, the timeline for rollout of improvements and enhanced benefits is as follows:

 Date of Approval through December 31, 2017 (remaining time on current agreement): All proposed improved services to start upon approval of extension, approximately two years prior to current term end;

 January 1, 2018: Ten-year extension commences. All service improvements, benefits, new programs and new CNG fleet will be already fully intact and completely integrated at start of term extension. First year of no rate increase begins; and

 December 31, 2027: End of amended contract term.

In summary, the proposed Amended Agreement supports City’s goals to maintain low residential rates, update the franchise fee rate, expand education and outreach, maintain and increase diversion rates, support the City’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (GGRP), ensure compliance with State diversion and recycling requirements, and provide continuity and expansion of services consistently rated highly by residents.

Conclusion and Staff Recommendation Staff and Republic Services representatives have worked diligently and in good faith over the past several months to develop a contract structure that meets the following key City objectives for its residential waste collection and recycling service and related programs: rate stabilization; maintenance and expansion of key services; clean fuel vehicles; provision of convenient, accessible and local Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events; continued

Agenda Packet Page81 Subject: Residential Solid Waste Collection Amended Agreement Date: March 10, 2016 Page 9 of 8

improvements to customer education and outreach; compliance with current and future State recycling and diversion requirements, and continuity of exemplary customer service standards and performance.

The proposed changes will result in a ten-year extension to the current agreement that meets City objectives and starts delivering benefits approximately two years prior to the end of the current agreement. In addition, extensive time and expense of a procurement process will be avoided and new programs can be vetted prior to the next procurement. Finally, the contract amendment process allows for cleanup of minor items in the contract and clarification of expectations for accountability and administrative oversight.

In conclusion, staff recommends the City Council Adopt the Resolution approving the Amended Agreement and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement.

Collection Services Contract

failed or refused to comply with the instructions of the Contract Administrator relative thereto and said default is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of written notice by the CITY to do so, or if by reason of the nature of such default, the same cannot be remedied within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the CONTRACTOR of written demand from the CITY to do so, the CONTRACTOR fails to commence the remedy of such default within said thirty (30) calendar days following such written notice or having so commenced shall fail thereafter to continue with diligence the curing thereof (with the CONTRACTOR having the burden of proof to demonstrate (a) that the default cannot be cured within thirty (30) calendar days, and (b) that it is proceeding with diligence to cure said default, and such default will be cured within a reasonable period of time).

The CITY shall thereupon issue the CONTRACTOR a final warning citing the circumstances therefore, and any single default by the CONTRACTOR of whatever nature, subsequent to the occurrence of the last of said cumulative defaults, shall be grounds for immediate termination of the Contract. In the event of any such subsequent default, the CITY may terminate this Contract upon giving of written final notice to the CONTRACTOR, such cancellation to be effective upon the date specified in the CITY'S written notice to the CONTRACTOR, and all contractual fees due hereunder plus any and all charges and interest shall be payable
