ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
A. Proposed FY 2022-23 City Council Goals Worksheets (page A-1)
B. Third Quarter FY 2021-22 City Council Goals Spreadsheet (page B-1)
BACKGROUND:
On March 9, 2022, the City Council held its first in a series of budget workshops for FY
2022-23. At the March 9 workshop, the City Council received a quarterly status report on
FY 2021-22 City Council Goals and a presentation on the proposed FY 2022-23 City
Council Goals inclusive of Staff, Planning Commission, and advisory board
recommendations. A discussion ensued regarding the framework of the proposed FY
2022-23 City Council Goals including considering concise and reduced number of goals,
removing those considered day-to-day tasks, and focusing on realistic and attainable
goals. In addition, Mayor Bradley presented a new format for the goals that resemble a
1
Gantt template for FY 2022-23. The intent of the new template is to present the goals in
a user-friendly format that allows the City Council, Staff, and the public to more easily
follow and monitor the progress of each goal. Furthermore, it assesses how long a project
should take, determine the resources needed, and prepare the order to complete the task.
As presented, the City Council generally supported the new template and directed staff
to return and present the FY 2022-23 City Council Goals utilizing the Gantt template.
This evening, the City Council is being asked to review and provide direction on the
proposed City Council Goals for FY 2022-23 updated to incorporate a new format with
concise milestones and tasks supporting each of the six overarching goals (Attachment
A). The proposed goals derive from FY 2021-22 City Council Goals (Attachment B). They
have been modified based on the March 9 workshop discussion and utilizing the "SMART"
rubric: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely.
DISCUSSION:
Proposed Updated FY 2022-23 City Council Goals
The proposed FY 2022-23 City Council Goals has been updated using a format that
resembles a Gantt chart template. As proposed, the six general categories are retained
as the overarching goals. Each goal category has a dedicated worksheet and appendix
which when combined, is considered the City Council Goals Workbook. At the top of each
worksheet is the goal category followed by the actual goal, as summarized below:
Category: Public Safety
Goal: Maintain a high level of public safety with public engagement.
Category: Infrastructure
Goal: Maintain and improve all public infrastructure (including transportation systems,
parking, utilities, storm drains, and sewers).
Category: City Land and Facilities
Goal: Maintain and improve all City-owned properties.
Category: Quality of Life
Goal: Maintain and improve the quality of life for RPV residents.
Category: Citizen Involvement and Public Outreach
Goal: Engage residents and community partners in assisting the City Council, City
Committees/Commissions, and City Staff facilitate the decision-making process.
Category: Government Efficiency, Transparency, and Accountability
Goal: Maximize the use of each tax dollar and optimize services delive red to RPV
residents.
Furthermore, the worksheets include what was previously known as a “goal line item”
which is now referenced as “milestones.” Milestone are specific items that will achieve
2
the overarching goal. The milestones are identified by having a target (completion) date,
a brief description, and the original (completion) target date. In addition, tasks are
included as assignments associated with meeting the milestone. Each task has a short
description, start date, and end date. Both the start date and end date calculate the
duration taken for each task to be accomplished.
FY 2022-23 City Council Goals Appendix
To ensure that institutional knowledge on the past implementation of each goal is
retained, Staff has captured the previous FY 2021-22 City Council goal for each category
in its designated appendix worksheet that corresponds to the overarching goal. The
appendix resembles the spreadsheet format used in past City Council Goals.
Council Goal Color Spectrum, Description, and Count
A color spectrum is being utilized to monitor the progression of the goal similar to the
past. The five colors determine if the goal is at risk of falling behind the target date, on
schedule to meet the target date, near completion, completed, not recommended at this
time, or no longer necessary. However, the color spectrum will now be shown in the
diagram. At this time, the color is shown as gray until the first quarterly report on the
progress of goals.
COLOR DESCRIPTION AND COUNTS 100% - completed
56% - 99% - accelerated/near completion
26% - 55% - on target/on schedule
0% - 25% - behind schedule/at risk
N/A - not recommended/not necessary
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the City Council direct Staff to incorporate the new format for FY 2022-
23 City Council goals and to return with budget appropriations for goals requiring funding
on May 17, 2022 for City Council consideration.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendations, the following alternatives are available for the
City Council’s consideration:
1. Do not approve the updated using a format.
2. Revert to the previous City Council Goals format.
3. Direct Staff to return to the City Council with an alternative City Council Goals
format.
4. Take other action, as deemed appropriate.

Complete the EIR for the Portuguese
Bend Landslide Remediation Project
for certification by the City Council
On May 19, 2020, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with the
Chambers Group to prepare the environmental document. The Draft Initial Study was
published for public review between November 12, 2020 and January 15, 2021. A public
scoping meeting was held on December 19, 2020. The City's consultant has started work
on the draft EIR. The Draft EIR is expected to be published in the Fall of 2021. The Draft
EIR is expected to be published in the Spring Summer of 2022. Additionally, this will
allow time for the City Council to consider contracting with a program management
company to assist the City with reviewing and processing the Draft EIR and Final EIR.
This will allow time for the City's environmental consultant to analyze alternatives
raised during the scoping meeting and the City's recently contracted program manager
to review the analysis. Staff recommends removing this from goals because it is a CIP
project and is considered part of the City’s routine operations.

Prepare funding opportunities for
Phases 1 & 2 of the Portuguese Bend
Landslide Feasibility Plan for City
Council consideration.
Staff is pursuing various potential funding opportunities for this project. The South
Santa Monica Bay (SSMB) Watershed Area Steering Committee (WASC) met on May 19,
2020. WASC reviews all projects for Measure W funding. A Measure W application was
submitted to the County for the Portuguese Bend Landslide Remediation Project in
October 2020. Staff is also working with Blais and Associates to identify potential grants
for this project, and City Staff has embarked on a writing campaign for funding
opportunities with state and federal legislators including securing federal infrastructure
funding. The City Council is in the process of hired a program manager for this project
who may help identify funding and grant opportunities. Staff presented the goal to the
FAC on 2/17. FAC recommended to continue the goal into FY 2022-23 but committee
will continue to research on finance options in preparation for the funding opportunities
when this project is ready. FAC also ranked this as priority #3 because of the
progress/the current stage of the project. Staff recommends this item be remove from
the City Council goals and be folded in to the budget process for the capital projects
program.
3c 6/30/2022 N/A Portuguese Bend Landslide PW
Develop a mitigation plan to address
land movement at Altamira Canyon
based on the following phases:
Phase One - Perform the

establish a priority list based on
current erosion.
Phase Two - Prepare detailed
engineering plans to resolve the
erosion and making sure there is
positive drainage along the canyon.
Phase Three - Award construction
contract for the proposed
improvements.
On November 4, 2020, the City Council approved a professional services agreement
with Harris and Associates to perform the Phase One work. Notice to proceed was
issued on February 24, 2021. Surveying work is complete and drainage/erosion analysis
is underway. Work on the Design Concept Report has been ongoing and a draft is
expected to be published in the Spring of 2022. This will include time for the City's
recently contracted program manager to review a draft of the Design Concept Report.
Staff recommends removing this goal because it is a CIP project and is considered part
of the City’s routine operations. Staff recommends carrying over goal.

Comments from Rolling Hills on the draft feasibility study were received on June 18,
2020 and provided to the consultant. The Draft Rolling Hills Sewer Concept Design
(feasibility study) has been received and preliminary discussions with Rolling Hills were
held. Review of the draft concept design has identified the need for further analysis of
concept viability before finalizing the feasibility study for public review. Further work on
this goal has been deferred until more information is gathered on the overall
Portuguese Bend Landslide Remediation project.

The Fiscal Year 2021-22 CIP includes funding to start an asset management program for
the City's Facilities, Storm Sewer System, Pavement, Sidewalks, and Traffic Signs.
Proposals have been received for a condition assessment and maintenance schedule of
the City's facilities and work is expected to begin in the next quarter. Proposals for a
condition assessment and maintenance schedule for the City's pavement, sidewalks,
and traffic signs will be solicited in the next quarter. Council has awarded a professional
services agreements for the creation of a detailed inventory and maintenance schedule
of the Condition assessments of the City's facilities, pavement, sidewalks, guardrails,
and traffic signs have started. Work is expected to be complete within 6 months. Draft
reports are expected in the summer of 2022. A similar asset management program for
the City's storm sewer system and sanitary sewers will be started in Fiscal 2022-2023
when staff vacancies are filled. Staff recommends removing this goal because it is a CIP

Develop a Citywide 5G Small
Wireless Facilities (SWF) Master Plan
that identifies the preferred and
least intrusive locations to install
small wireless facilities including co-
locations.
The primary 5G SWF engineering and construction company on the Peninsula has
developed a plan of locations for SWF facilities. Staff is soliciting proposals from
qualified consultants to evaluate the plan for optimization of co-location, gap analysis,
aesthetic impacts, compliance with City policies, and development of recommended
alternatives when feasible. At this time, Staff recommends removing this goal due to
staff vacancies.

lines including a tentative timeline to
potentially underground utilities and
continue to lobby the California
Public Utilities Commission to modify
the requirements for Rule 20A
undergrounding funds to include high
fire risk areas.
Southern California Edison's current plan is development of specific Circuit Reliability
projects to harden infrastructure in particular areas of RPV, rather than an overall
master plan. Public Works Staff is coordinating public information distribution as these
projects are further developed. Work on this goal has been deferred until certain Public
Works projects in queue have been completed. Staff recommends to remove this goal
item as the City is limited ability to influence SCE infrastructure. Staff recommends to
remove this line item as it is captured in line item 6c

executive officer calling for the prioritization of funding for undergrounding projects.
On January 27, 2022, the City submitted a Notice of Interest (NOI) to the California
Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
(HMGP) towards the securing of funds for this goal.
On February 1, 2022, Cal OES notified the City that the proposed undergrounding of
overhead powerlines project is an eligible HMGP activity and has formally invited the
City to submit a full sub-application for consideration of funding. Staff is currently
compiling data for this application, which is due on April 8, 2022.

On May 19, 2020, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with the
Chambers Group to prepare the environmental document. The Draft Initial Study was
published for public review between November 12, 2020 and January 15, 2021. A public
scoping meeting was held on December 19, 2020. The City's consultant has started work
on the draft EIR. The Draft EIR is expected to be published in the Fall of 2021. The Draft
EIR is expected to be published in the Spring Summer of 2022. Additionally, this will
allow time for the City Council to consider contracting with a program management
company to assist the City with reviewing and processing the Draft EIR and Final EIR.
This will allow time for the City's environmental consultant to analyze alternatives
raised during the scoping meeting and the City's recently contracted program manager
to review the analysis. Staff recommends removing this from goals because it is a CIP
project and is considered part of the City’s routine operations.

Prepare a new financial plan for the
Abalone Cove annual sewer rates
that reduces City maintenance
subsidy by at least 50% for City
Council consideration.
Staff has estimated long-range costs for maintenance, operations, and capital costs of
the system. The 18-year historical costs have provided a good baseline for future costs.
Additionally, staff has identified capital improvements that will likely be needed in the
next 5-10 years, due to the wear and tear on the pipes, grinder pumps, and lift stations.
Staff is working with Abalone Cove residents to address the future Sewer Rates in order
to reduce the City subsidy. On October 6, the City Council amended the Municipal Code
with the current CPI-U and approved a connection fee. Staff is working with a consultant
to perform an evaluation and assessment of the sewer system. This will provide staff
with an updated annual maintenance cost estimate to properly prepare a financial plan.
Staff presented the goal to the FAC on 2/17. FAC recommended to continue this item
and formed a sub-committee which consist of member MacAllister and Yourman to
begin reviewing the history of the Abalone Cove Sewer system, rates, and the General
Fund subsidies. When the maintenance estimate is ready, the subcommittee will review
and prepare a recommendation for the FAC and formalize a recommendation to the
City Council. FAC ranked this as priority #1 because of the level of subsidy from the
General Fund. Staff recommends this item continue into FY2022-23 Goals and will
support the FAC subcommittee on the research and analysis.

Present Civic Center development
financing options to the City Council
for consideration.
In March 2020, City Staff initiated discussions with Kosmont Transaction Services (KTS),
but paused further discussions due to changes in the leadership team and to reassess
the financial impacts of the economic downturn. Staff has developed a preliminary
budget for this project that was confirmed as reasonable estimates by KTS. On October
15 2020, Staff met with KTS to discuss funding options for the project. Staff has
requested additional information and is working with Blais and Associates on
identifying grant opportunities. Additionally, since September 2020, Staff has been
meeting with consultants from various aspects of the development sector including
project management consultants, developers, and other agency representatives to
further understand, among other things, financing and product delivery options. Staff
and the CCAC are working on putting together a public financing workshop for the
community, council, advisory boards, and staff to be well versed in the financing
options for this project. The public financing workshop is tentatively scheduled for
March 10, 2022 and the goal was presented to the FAC on 2/17. FAC currently has a
financing subcommittee that consist of Chair Lewis, members MacAllister, and
Yourman that was formed for the Ladera Linda Community Park project and will
continue to support this effort. FAC ranked this as priority #2 based on the progress/the
current stage of the project. Staff recommends this item to continue and will support
the FAC subcommittee on the research and analysis. The CCAC recommended
establishing a budget for the Civic Center Master Plan project based on a preliminary
site plan by August 2022 as its #2 Priority Goal.

Present draft Civic Center Master
Plan for City Council consideration
which will include a new possible
Peninsula-wide EOC, Sheriff
substation, and fire station.
Requires hiring a design firm to prepare a master plan and a robust public engagement
process. Earlier this year, the Civic Center Advisory Committee (CCAC) prepared a draft
Design & Architectural Services RFP. The City Council Subcommittee also reviewed the
RFP. During this process, Staff realized that issuing an RFP to onboard a design firm, at
this time, is premature until financing options is considered by the City Council. This is
because the financing model the City Council finds most palatable will determine the
development process including the master planning. Since September 2020, Staff has
been meeting with consultants from various aspects of the development sector
including project management consultants, developers, and other agency
representatives to further understand, among other things, financing options, before
issuing an RFP. At this time, Staff is considering issuing a Request for Interest (RFI) to
glean more information on the development process for the Civic Center. City Council
approved CCAC requests on Feb. 2 to proceed with a) an RFP for a project management
consultant firm and b) facilitate a public workshop addressing municipal financial
capital projects. A project manager will determine when to proceed with developing a
master site plan. Staff has begun discussions with Captain Powers to obtain a written
commitment that the LASD is interested in a substation at the Civic Center site. In 2018,
L.A. County Sheriff Jim McDonnell sent letters indicating his support to place a facility
at the Civic Center site. On December 9, 2020, Captain James Powers of the Lomita
Sheriff Station provided verbal support of the project but cautioned that staff must
receive support from Sheriff Villanueva before proceeding. A site tour was scheduled
for January 2021 but was postponed for Spring 2021 due to current health orders. Staff
is discussing opportunities with LASD and LA Co. Fire. In June and August 2021, Staff
met with both the LA County Sheriff's Department and LA County Fire Department to
discuss potential commitments on a police and fire station onsite. Staff will continue
the discussions with their respective finance and planning departments. Staff
presented the Program Validation on December 7, 2021. Griffin Structures and Gensler
will assist staff and the CCAC. The CCAC on February 24, 2022 recommended
combining this goal with goal 11d to include civic, business, and non-profit partnerships

studies will be completed in early 2022.
•Increasing parking enforcement: The City has hired part-time park rangers/parking
ambassadors.
•Establishing reservation and fee-based parking system: The City Council approved a
contract with ParkMobile in April 2021, and implemented the system July 2021.
•Increasing parking citation fines: Parking violations were increased from $50 to $110
for the following violations: 1) Park by permit, 2) Failure to obey signage, and 3)
Passenger loading zone.
•Installing access gates at Burma Road and Rattlesnake trailheads: Burma Gate was
installed, and Rattlesnake is forthcoming. Burma gate was damaged in Sept. 2021, and

Develop a SWOT analysis of
commercial properties along
Western Avenue to identify
economic development
opportunities to enhance retail
establishments and create mixed-
use projects.
The City prepared a potential redevelopment site analysis and has met with
four potential developers to explore mixed use projects. In May, the City was
awarded a $160k from the SB 2 grant fund to develop a mixed use plan for
Western Avenue. Additionally, the City applied for the Local Early Action
Planning (LEAP) grant to seek an additional $150k to support mixed use
planning efforts that will enhance economic development opportunities in the
City. Phase I feasibility analysis of select properties has been completed and
presented to City Council and Planning Commission; City Council authorized the
expansion of the study to incorporate additional properties on Western Avenue
and Silver Spur, among other sites, on September 7, 2021. Staff received a
rough draft of Phase II feasibility analysis and a final draft is currently being
prepared for presentation to the City Council in early 2022. The final report will
be presented to City Council in conjunction with the Housing Element public
hearings.

concept plan report has been executed. The timeline of this project is subject to
filling staff vacancies. Staff has started preparing a solicitation for a project
manager to assist the City with progressing this project. Staff recommends
removing this from goals because it is a CIP project and is considered part of the
City’s routine operations. It should be noted that Staff routinely meets with
neighboring cities and representatives from Caltrans to identify means to
improve traffic flow.

Avenue Beautification Project. Staff recommends removing this from goals
because it is a CIP project and is considered part of the City’s routine
operations. In fact, earlier this last year, Staff began implementing the first
phase of the Western Avenue Street Beautification which included installing
new median and parkway landscaping, enhancing street furniture, and
removing debris. The second phase which includes painting the arterial walls is
being coordinated with the neighboring homeowner’s associations and is
anticipated to be completed in late Spring 2022.

City Staff is in the early stages of developing a branding campaign for Western
Avenue that will incorporate Goal No. 47 of FY 2020-21. The branding campaign
will bring together the traffic flow, beautification, and economic development
projects for Western Avenue. Staff is collecting information on potential
marketing consultants. In August 2021, Staff joined the Los Angeles Economic
Development Corporation (LAEDC) to assist the City in highlighting current
businesses and attract new businesses to the City. This will also include
Western Avenue. Staff is working with the LAEDC District Director on strategies
to strengthen economic development starting with current RPV businesses.

In coordination with SCE, develop a Utility Resilient Advancement Master Plan to harden above-
ground utility lines including a tentative timeline to potentially underground utilities and continue
to lobby the California Public Utilities Commission to modify the requirements for Rule 20A
undergrounding funds to include high fire risk areas.
Southern California Edison's current plan is development of specific Circuit
Reliability projects to harden infrastructure in particular areas of RPV, rather
than an overall master plan. Public Works Staff is coordinating public
information distribution as these projects are further developed. Work on this
goal has been deferred until certain Public Works projects in queue have been
completed. Staff recommends to remove this goal item as the City is limited
ability to influence SCE infrastructure.

Sanitation Utilities FIN Prepare a new financial plan for the Abalone Cove annual sewer rates that reduces City
maintenance subsidy by at least 50% for City Council consideration.
Staff has estimated long-range costs for maintenance, operations, and
capital costs of the system. The 18-year historical costs have provided a
good baseline for future costs. Additionally, staff has identified capital
improvements that will likely be needed in the next 5-10 years, due to
the wear and tear on the pipes, grinder pumps, and lift stations. Staff is
working with Abalone Cove residents to address the future Sewer Rates
in order to reduce the City subsidy. On October 6, the City Council
amended the Municipal Code with the current CPI-U and approved a
connection fee. Staff is working with a consultant to perform an
evaluation and assessment of the sewer system. This will provide staff

compare results after enhanced measures are implemented. In addition to the
resident survey presented to the Council on February 16, 2021, Staff is
preparing a specific customer service survey. It should be noted that in the
resident survey 71.8% of respondents indicated that they were somewhat or
very satisfied. Staff is in the planning stages of establishing a method to send
and receive responses. Staff recommends removing this goal as a portion of
internal customer service is achieved through goal 26f, and the external
customer service portion is identified as an IT project or assignment.
Government Efficiency, Transparency and
Accountability Admin Reassess the Study Session
Activity on this goal is pending further review of the City's study session policy.
Staff recommends removing this goal as it can be accomplished at the staff
level as part of the City’s routine operations.
Government Efficiency, Transparency and
Accountability Admin Lobby the California Public Utilities Commission to modify the requirements for Rule 20A
undergrounding funds to include high fire risk areas.
October 2019, the City brought a resolution to the League of California
Cities Annual Conference calling on the CPUC to expand the Rule 20
program to include wildfire mitigation as an eligible project. The
resolution won the support of fire-prone cities across the state and was
referred to two of the League’s policy committees so language
revisions could be reconciled. Ultimately, the League’s Board of
Directors adopted our proposal as an official League policy. The League
is now advocating for this change to the CPUC, which is in the process
of revising the Rule 20 program, and wildfire prevention criteria was
included among proposed changes from CPUC staff. In April 2020, the
City advocated for including wildfire prevention criteria in comments
on the CPUC staff proposal. On July 21, 2020, the City Council
supported legislation (SB 1312) that would have implemented this
change by requiring the CPUC to amend Rule 20 to allow
undergrounding in high fire threat areas for wildfire mitigation, though
the bill did not advance in the legislative session. Following direction
from the City Council, on September 16, 2020, Staff sent a letter to SB
1312 author Senator Mike McGuire offering the City's support for
continued efforts to make this change. Staff continues to monitor the
CPUC's ongoing rulemaking process. Staff is monitoring current
legislation that supports undergrounding. Moved from Government
Efficiency & Transparency - Intergovernmental Relations Goal No. 81
and to moved to Infrastructure - Electric Utilities and combined with
6a as it supports the effort of advancing undergrounding projects.

station.
Admin 06/31/2022 8/31/2022 26%
Requires hiring a design firm to prepare a master plan and a robust public engagement process.
Earlier this year, the Civic Center Advisory Committee (CCAC) prepared a draft Design & Architectural
Services RFP. The City Council Subcommittee also reviewed the RFP. During this process, Staff
realized that issuing an RFP to onboard a design firm, at this time, is premature until financing options
is considered by the City Council. This is because the financing model the City Council finds most
palatable will determine the development process including the master planning. Since September
2020, Staff has been meeting with consultants from various aspects of the development sector
including project management consultants, developers, and other agency representatives to further
understand, among other things, financing options, before issuing an RFP. At this time, Staff is
considering issuing a Request for Interest (RFI) to glean more information on the development
process for the Civic Center. City Council approved CCAC requests on Feb. 2 to proceed with a) an RFP
for a project management consultant firm and b) facilitate a public workshop addressing municipal
financial capital projects. A project manager will determine when to proceed with developing a
master site plan. Staff has begun discussions with Captain Powers to obtain a written commitment
that the LASD is interested in a substation at the Civic Center site. In 2018, L.A. County Sheriff Jim
McDonnell sent letters indicating his support to place a facility at the Civic Center site. On December
9, 2020, Captain James Powers of the Lomita Sheriff Station provided verbal support of the project
but cautioned that staff must receive support from Sheriff Villanueva before proceeding. A site tour
was scheduled for January 2021 but was postponed for Spring 2021 due to current health orders.
Staff is discussing opportunities with LASD and LA Co. Fire. In June and August 2021, Staff met with
both the LA County Sheriff's Department and LA County Fire Department to discuss potential
commitments on a police and fire station onsite. Staff will continue the discussions with their
respective finance and planning departments. Staff presented the Program Validation on December
7, 2021. Griffin Structures and Gensler will assist staff and the CCAC. The CCAC on February 24, 2022

Infrastructure - Electric Utilities PW
In coordination with SCE, develop a Utility Resilient Advancement Master Plan to harden above-
ground utility lines including a tentative timeline to potentially underground utilities and
continue to lobby the California Public Utilities Commission to modify the requirements for Rule
20A undergrounding funds to include high fire risk areas.
Southern California Edison's current plan is development of specific Circuit
Reliability projects to harden infrastructure in particular areas of RPV, rather
than an overall master plan. Public Works Staff is coordinating public
information distribution as these projects are further developed. Work on
this goal has been deferred until certain Public Works projects in queue
have been completed. Staff recommends to remove this goal item as the
City is limited ability to influence SCE infrastructure.
Infrastructure - Utilities Admin Reduce the threat of a fire hazard proximately caused by downed or damaged overhead power
lines through the undergrounding of one mile of utility lines within the City’s open space areas.
Staff is working to identify potential grants and funding opportunities for
this project. On May 7, 2021, the City submitted a Notice of Interest (NOI) to
the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) towards the securing of funds for this
goal. On May 24, 2021, Cal OES notified the City that the proposed
undergrounding of overhead powerlines project is an eligible HMGP activity
and has formally invited the City to submit a full sub-application for
consideration of funding. Staff is currently compiling data for this
application, which is due on June 18, 2021. On June 18, 2021, Staff
submitted a sub-application to the California Governor's Office of
Emergency Services (Cal OES) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to secure
funding for this goal. Staff is currently coordinating with representatives
from Cal OES to respond to a request for additional information for this
grant. Staff continues to monitor the CPUC's rulemaking process and current
legislation promoting undergrounding. Staff recommends removing this goal
item as the CPUC decided to discontinue ratepayer funding for new projects
after December 31, 2022 and will consider whether to add wildfire safety
and emergency-related undergrounding to Rule 20 project eligibility criteria
in the future.
Infrastructure - Utilities R&P Present to the City Council concepts for the remaining 12 acres of Lower Hesse Park as the Phase
II improvements
Pending inclusion in FY 20-21 CIP Not included in FY 20-21 CIP. To be
deferred to a fiscal year to be determined. Staff continues to
communicate regularly with Lower Hesse Park residents to discuss
their concerns and to identify ways to enhance maintenance and
aesthetics. Recommendation: Defer goal pending Council direction
and funding in the CIP.
Infrastructure - Roadways PW
Develop a Construction Coordination Plan working with neighboring Peninsula cities, as well as
Lomita, Los Angeles, and Torrance to identify measures to avoid concentrating street
construction projects in areas that will impact traffic flows. Present plan to City Council.
On July 8, the Public Works Director met with a representative from
Caltrans as part of their newly created Ambassador program to assist
the City in improving communication on roadway projects. This will
frame the Plan being developed with neighboring cities. On
December 16, 2020, staff hosted a Project Coordination Meeting with
representatives of utility companies and other Peninsula cities; and
discussed each agency's upcoming projects as well as strategies to
time projects to avoid concentrating traffic impacts. Meetings will
continue on a regular basis. A meeting between the CalTrans
Ambassador and Peninsula cities is tentatively being scheduled for
March 2021.

Sanitation Utilities FIN Prepare a new financial plan for the Abalone Cove annual sewer rates that reduces City
maintenance subsidy by at least 50% for City Council consideration.
Staff has estimated long-range costs for maintenance, operations,
and capital costs of the system. The 18-year historical costs have
provided a good baseline for future costs. Additionally, staff has
identified capital improvements that will likely be needed in the next
5-10 years, due to the wear and tear on the pipes, grinder pumps,
and lift stations. Staff is working with Abalone Cove residents to
address the future Sewer Rates in order to reduce the City subsidy.
On October 6, the City Council amended the Municipal Code with the
current CPI-U and approved a connection fee. Staff is working with a
consultant to perform an evaluation and assessment of the sewer
system. This will provide staff with an updated annual maintenance
cost estimate to properly prepare a financial plan. Staff recommends
removing this goal because it is a Finance Department task to identify
appropriate funding for projects and is considered part of the City’s
routine operations.

undergrounding funds to include high fire risk areas.
October 2019, the City brought a resolution to the League of
California Cities Annual Conference calling on the CPUC to expand the
Rule 20 program to include wildfire mitigation as an eligible project.
The resolution won the support of fire-prone cities across the state
and was referred to two of the League’s policy committees so
language revisions could be reconciled. Ultimately, the League’s
Board of Directors adopted our proposal as an official League policy.
The League is now advocating for this change to the CPUC, which is in
the process of revising the Rule 20 program, and wildfire prevention
criteria was included among proposed changes from CPUC staff. In
April 2020, the City advocated for including wildfire prevention
criteria in comments on the CPUC staff proposal. On July 21, 2020,
the City Council supported legislation (SB 1312) that would have
implemented this change by requiring the CPUC to amend Rule 20 to
allow undergrounding in high fire threat areas for wildfire mitigation,
though the bill did not advance in the legislative session. Following
direction from the City Council, on September 16, 2020, Staff sent a
letter to SB 1312 author Senator Mike McGuire offering the City's
support for continued efforts to make this change. Staff continues to
