Head ~~-= SAN CLEMENTE CITY COUNCIL MEETING Attorney October 20, 2015 !~'+-- Meeting Date: Finance Department: Public Works I Engineering Prepared By: Tom Bonigut, Deputy Public Works Director f!J Subject: CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF REPAIR OF TILE SIDEWALKS. Fiscal Impact: Unknown at this time (depends on further City Council direction). Summary: Staff seeks City Council direction concerning repair of tile sidewalks as discussed below. Background: At its September 1, 2015 meeting, the City Council considered award of a construction contract for the Fiscal Year 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program. That contract was to repair defective sidewalks on several streets where use of Ole Hanson Replica Tile is required by the City's Municipal Code. The City Council decided to table consideration of the construction contract for 60 to 90 days and directed staff to provide information so the City Council could re-visit Resolution 03-04 which established the Sidewalk Repair Program. This item was scheduled for discussion at the City Council's October 6 meeting, however the City Council deferred this matter to the October 20 meeting to allow the City Attorney to advise on Councilmember eligibility to consider the matter since most Councilmembers live within 500 feet of tile sidewalk areas depicted in the City's Municipal Code. The City Attorney will provide that advice via a separate memo. This report is to transmit previous information so that the City Council may consider the issue. Discussion: The October 6, 2015 staff report is provided as Attachment 1, and includes information previously requested by the City Council. In addition, the September 1, 2015 staff report concerning the proposed contract award for the FY 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program is provided in Attachment 2. This proposed construction contract is "on hold" pending the Council's consideration of tile sidewalk issues. The contractor indicated that he would hold his submitted bid for up to 90 days from the bid opening date which was August 4. This means that a decision by the City Council will be needed on October 20 on whether to award the sidewalk repair construction contract as presented or to reject all bids and cancel the project. Engineering Agenda Report 10-20-15 / BA-1 Agenda Report Page 2 Recommended Action: STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT the City Council: 1. Provide direction concerning construction and repair of tile sidewalks; and 2. Provide direction concerning award of the FY 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program construction contract. If Council wishes to proceed with the contract, then staff recommends that the City Council: a. Approve the plans and specifications for the FY 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program, Project No. 19317; and b. Authorize the Mayor to execute a contract with Unique Performance Construction Inc. in the amount of $67,340 for the FY 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program, Project No. 19317. If Council does not wish to proceed with the contract, then staff recommends that the City Council reject all bids for the FY 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program, Project No. 19317. Attachments: 1.

Fiscal Impact: Unknown at this time (depends on further City Council direction). Summary: Staff seeks City Council direction concerning repair of tile sidewalks as discussed below. Background: At its September 1, 2015 meeting, the City Council considered award of a construction contract for the Fiscal Year 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program. That contract was to repair defective sidewalks on several streets where use of Ole Hanson Replica Tile is required by the City's Municipal Code. The City Council decided to table consideration of the construction contract for 60 to 90 days and directed staff to provide information so the City Council could re-visit Resolution 03-04 which established the Sidewalk Repair Program. The City Council also expressed its concerns regarding "consistency, cost to residents and honoring historic roots." This report provides information to assist the City Council's consideration of the Sidewalk Repair Program. Discussion: Per State law, property owners are responsible for maintenance and repair of sidewalk on properties fronting public streets. However, in early 2003 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 03-04 (see Attachment 1) which established a 50-50 cost sharing program to assist property owners with the cost of repairing defective sidewalks. This resolution specified procedural requirements of the program but did not specify required sidewalk materials. A subsequent Ordinance No. 1276 (see Attachment 2) designated areas of the City (see Exhibit A included with the ordinance) in which repair of sidewalks would be with tile, provided the existing sidewalk "is of historic clay tile or a mixture of tile and patches of other materials." About 80% of the work under the current proposed sidewalk repair contract involves replacement of tile since those locations currently have tile and are located within areas designated by Ordinance No. 1276. Also, Planning staff confirmed that tile sidewalks were added to the Historic Structures List (later renamed the Historic Resources List) via adoption of Resolution No. 07-72 in late 2007 (see Attachment 3). If the City Council was inclined to re-consider the extent of areas requiring installation of tile sidewalk, then a new ordinance would need to be adopted to revise the Municipal Code accordingly, and the tile sidewalks would need to be removed from the Historic Resources List per the process and criteria provided in Municipal Code Sections 17.16.160(0) and (F). Engineering Agenda Report 10-20-15 I BA-3 Agenda Report Page 2 In general this would involve the processing of an application to delist the historic sidewalks. To qualify evidence of one of the following is required: • The information relied on by the City Council in making the original historic designation for tile sidewalks was erroneous or false, or significant new information is available that was not previously available to demonstrate that the tile sidewalks do not meet the specified criteria; or • Circumstances wholly beyond the City's control have rendered the tile sidewalks ineligible for designation in accordance with the specified criteria. In order to process the delisting application the City_ would need to prepare a historic resource evaluation prepared by a qualified historic consultant and a CEQA analysis. CEQA to delist would most likely require a focused Environmental Impact Report. Planning estimates that to pursue removal of the tile sidewalks from the Historic Resources list would require about nine months and an estimated cost of $80,000 to pay for the required studies. The exception to the process described above is for some areas designated by Ordinance No. 1276 where no tile sidewalk currently exists. In that case the Municipal Code tile sidewalk map could be updated without the historic tile delisting process. The proposed FY 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program construction contract presented to the City Council is "on hold" pending the Council's consideration of the issues discussed above. The contractor indicated that he would hold his submitted bid for up to 90 days from the bid opening date which was August 4. This means that no later than the City Council's next meeting on October 20 a decision will be needed to either award the contract or reject all bids for the FY 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program. Recommended Action: STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT the City Council: 1. Provide direction concerning designation of tile sidewalks as historic resources; 2. Provide direction concerning award of the FY 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program construction contract presented to the City Council on September 1, 2015. If Council wishes to proceed with the contract, then staff recommends that the City Council: a. Approve the plans and specifications for the FY 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program, Project No. 19317; and b. Authorize the Mayor to execute a contract with Unique Performance Construction Inc. in the amount of $67,340 for the FY 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program, Project No. 19317. 10-20-15 I 8A-4 Agenda Report Page 3 Attachments: 1.

    PROJECT TITLE: Sandy Beach Ecosystems: Baseline Characterization and Evaluation of Monitoring Metrics for MPAs along the South Coast of California Investigators: Jenifer E. Dugan, Henry M. Page, Karina J. Nielsen, and Julie M. Bursek REVISED PLAN OF WORK To address the overall objective and achieve our specific study goals, we will use a combination of biodiversity surveys and focal species/taxa sampling on intertidal macroinvertebrate communities of California’s sandy beaches (Table 1). We have revised our plan of work to reflect the funding status of proposed related studies in UCSB’s original multi-project integrative proposal and the reduction in funding. Our orignal plan of work appears in Appendix 1. Table 1. Revised proposed Draft Metrics and Key Attributes for Ecosystem Assessment to be studied on sandy beaches in the South Coast Region. Changes in Draft Indicators/Focal species or Taxa in this table reflect proposed integrative activities that were not funded.

    Micronesica 39(1): 73–105, 2006 Provisional keys to the genera of seaweeds of Micronesia, with new records for Guam and Yap CHRISTOPHER S. LOBBAN Division of Natural Sciences, University of Guam, Mangilao, GU 96923 AND ANTOINE D.R. N’YEURT Université de la Polynésie française, Campus d’Outumaoro Bâtiment D B.P. 6570 Faa'a, 98702 Tahiti, French Polynesia Abstract—Artificial keys to the genera of blue-green, red, brown, and green marine benthic algae of Micronesia are given, including virtually all the genera reported from Palau, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Twenty-two new species or genera are reported here for Guam and 7 for Yap; 11 of these are also new for Micronesia. Note is made of several recent published records for Guam and 2 species recently raised from varietal status. Finally, a list is given of nomenclatural changes that affect the 2003 revised checklist (Micronesica 35-36: 54–99). An interactive version of the keys is included in the algal biodiversity website at www.uog.edu/ classes/botany/474. Introduction The seaweeds of Micronesia have been studied for over a century but no one has yet written a comprehensive manual for identifying them, nor does it seem likely that this will happen in the foreseeable future. In contrast, floras have recently been published for Hawai‘i (Abbott 1999, Abbott & Huisman 2004) and the South Pacific (Payri et al. 2000, Littler & Littler 2003). A few extensive or intensive works on Micronesia (e.g., Taylor 1950, Trono 1969a, b, Tsuda 1972) gave descriptions of the species in the style of a flora for particular island groups.
