Building Safety Month 2019 encourages appropriate steps everyone can take to ensure that the places where we live, learn, work, worship and play are safe and sustainable, and recognizes that countless lives have been saved due to the implementation of safety codes by local and state agencies, and, Whereas, each year, in observance of Building Safety Month, Americans are asked to consider projects to improve building safety and sustainability at home and in the community, and to acknowledge the essential service provided to all of us by local and state building departments, fire prevention bureaus and federal agencies in protecting lives and property. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Roland Velasco, Mayor of the City of Gilroy, State of California, do hereby proclaim the month of May 2019 as Building Safety Month. Accordingly, I encourage our citizens to join with their communities in participation in Building Safety Month activities. _______________________________ Mayor Roland Velasco 2.A.5 Packet Pg. 8 Communication: Proclamation Naming May Building Safety Month (Proclamations, Awards, and Presentations) Proclamation of the City of Gilroy WHEREAS, the City of Gilroy joins cities and counties throughout the country in promoting May as National Bike Month, and the 9th of May, 2019 as Gilroy Bike to Work Day; and WHEREAS, Gilroy acknowledges that walking and bicycling are successful transportation modes that promote healthy living, alleviates traffic and parking congestion, reduces air pollution, and decreases fuel consumption; and WHEREAS, both National Bike Month and Bike to Work Day are effective in converting drivers into pedestrians, bicyclists and educating citizens about the environmental importance of walking and biking to school or work regularly; and WHEREAS, Gilroy’s efforts to promote Bike to Work Day 2019 include an Energizer Station at the Gilroy Transit Center, staffed by the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission and volunteers, and Gilroy Schools will promote Bike to School Day on May 8th where schools will be hosting bike trains and bike rack decorating contests; and WHEREAS, Ascencion Solorsano Middle School Physical Education Teacher Anthony Fuccella has been nominated by the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission as the Bicycle Person of the Year for his efforts in receiving a Riding for Focus grant from the Specialized Foundation allowing him to implement the Riding for Focus cycling program which provides bicycles, helmets and a physical education curriculum to students; and WHEREAS, Anthony used the program to put on the very first cycling assembly at Ascencion Solorsano Middle School and the City Council wish to recognize him for his efforts in bringing this program to Gilroy youth.

Meeting Date: May 6, 2019 From: Gabriel Gonzalez, City Administrator Department: City Clerk Submitted By: Shawna Freels Prepared By: Suzanne Guzzetta Suzanne Guzzetta Strategic Plan Goals ☐ Fiscal Stability ☐ Downtown Revitalization ☐ Economic Development ☐ Customer Service ☐ Enhanced Public Safety RECOMMENDATION Open a recruitment period to fill one Affordable Housing Representative seat on the General Plan Advisory Committee, and one At-Large seat on the Library Bond Oversight Committee. BACKGROUND Established in 2013, the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) provides input and guidance to the City throughout the General Plan update process to ensure that the interests and values of the community are well represented in the City's new General Plan. The Affordable Housing Representative recently appointed to the GPAC recently resigned leaving the seat open. The Library Bond Oversight Committee was established in 2009 to provide recommendations concerning the use of $5 million in unspent bond proceeds for library improvements. Over a dormant period the Committee lost two members: one Library Commission representative and one At-Large representative. DISCUSSION 6.B Packet Pg. 13 The General Plan update process has been on hold and will be resuming in the near future. Housing is a key issue in the General Plan update and a GPAC member representing affordable housing stakeholders will be important in the remaining process. The seven member Library Bond Oversight Committee lost two members during the course of the last five years when the Committee was dormant. The Library Oversight Committee is being reconvened to make recommendations concerning the use of $5 million in unspent bond proceeds for library improvements. CONCLUSION Staff recommends that the City Council open a recruitment initiative to fill the Affordable Housing Representative to the General Plan Advisory Committee, and the At-Large Representative to the Library Bond Oversight Committee, and interview applicants at the May 20, 2018 City Council meeting. A recruitment flyer is attached. PUBLIC OUTREACH A thorough public outreach campaign to fill these pending vacancies is planned with flyers being distributed through social media, the City website and electronic newsletters as well as to all of the various partner entities of the City. 6.B Packet Pg. 14 City of Gilroy STAFF REPORT Agenda Item Title: Opening of a Recruitment Period for Five Seats on the Youth Commission Meeting Date: May 6, 2019 From: Gabriel Gonzalez, City Administrator Department: City Clerk Submitted By: Shawna Freels Prepared By: Suzanne Guzzetta Strategic Plan Goals ☐ Fiscal Stability ☐ Downtown Revitalization ☐ Economic Development ☐ Customer Service ☐ Enhanced Public Safety RECOMMENDATION Open recruitment for five seats on the Youth Commission with terms ending September 30, 2019. BACKGROUND This September, there will be five, 2-year term seats come vacant on the Youth Commission. Since the Commission does not meet during the summer, the City traditionally opens the recruitment period from the end of the school year and runs it until the beginning of the next school year to solicit a sufficient number of applications. Youth ages 12-18 who reside within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Gilroy Unified School District are eligible to apply. Youth Commissioners provide the City Council and City staff with input regarding local youth and teen issues and work with City leaders to develop policies, create events and special programs that positively influence the youth and other members of the Gilroy community. The eleven (11) member Commission regularly meets on the second Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. Members also participate in special events and on subcommittees. 6.C Packet Pg. 15 CONCLUSION Staff recommends that Council authorize the opening of a recruitment period through September 10th and interview applicants at the September 16th regular Council meeting to fill these pending vacancies. PUBLIC OUTREACH The included flyer will be sent to all media outlets and will be published on the City website, through social media and on cable channel 17. The Gilroy Unified School District Public Information Office will assist in distributing the material to each junior high and high school. This year City staff will also be working with a grassroots neighborhood parent organization “Vuera Vida” to gain a wide cross section of applicants to fill these openings.

A seasonal wetland 6.E Packet Pg. 20 exists within the northwestern region of the project site. Ascension Solorsano Middle School and Las Animas Elementary School exist within the Specific plan area. Roadways constructed to serve those schools also serve the Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan encompasses seventeen distinct residential neighborhoods with an entitlement to develop up to 1,693 mixed-density residential units, including single-family homes, apartments, low-income units, and senior units. The city has approved the subdivision of ten neighborhoods (Home Ranch, Wild Chestnut, Vista Bella, Petite Sirah, Mataro, Montonico, McCutchin Creek, Palomino, The Grove and Luchessa), totaling 661 units so far. Vista Bella, Petite Syrah and Mataro have been built, totaling 274 units. Ultimate development of the Specific Plan will consist of a Town Center commercial development that includes a city fire station; a potential commercial site on the northern portion of the Specific Plan area (“Northern Commercial Reserve”); two city park sites; community amenities or focal points within each neighborhood; and approximately 88 acres (24 percent of the project site) of open space and buffer areas with 6-7 miles of trails that link the neighborhoods and tie into the existing Christmas Hill Park. A rocky knoll area with soils that provide habitat for endangered species (serpentine soils) and an area that currently contains a eucalyptus grove will be maintained as part of the open space. On May 7, 2018, City Council of the City of Gilroy approved tentative map TM 17-01, granting Glen Loma Corporation to subdivide in phases approximately 103 acres into 23 Multi-Family Condominium Lots for up to 125 Townhouse Units, 3 Parcels for Public Facilities (a Fire Station and Two Public Trails), 7 Private Open Space Lots and 4 Lots for Future Development on a Property Located North of Santa Teresa Boulevard Between West Tenth Street and Miller Avenue; APN’s: 808-18-003 (Portion); 808-19-010 (Portion), 808-19-022, 808-19-023, and 808- 19-024 (Portion), the Glen Loma Corporation c/o Tim Filice, Applicant. [Reference: Resolution No. 2018-09, TM 17-01] ANALYSIS As part of the Towncenter Below Market Rate project (BMR Towncenter), within the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan development, a new parcel boundary for the affordable housing BMP project is being established through the parcel map. A portion of existing Miller Avenue runs through the new BMR parcel boundary, which the project will realign and dedicate a new Miller Avenue right of way alignment. The new right of way dedication also includes a new roundabout (the Miller Ave/Luchessa roundabout). This realignment and new roundabout is consistent with the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan previously adopted by Council. The Christopher Family Partnership, A California Limited Partnership; Donald Christopher; Donald C. Christopher; and Filice Family Estate, A California Limited Partnership are requesting approval of BMR Towncenter Parcel Map which establishes a new parcel for the BMR Towncenter Affordable development; Vacates a portion of the Miller Avenue; dedicates new Miller Avenue Right-of-Way and Alignment, and enter into a Property Improvement Agreement with the City for the construction of the project’s Public Improvements, including but not limited to construction of the Miller Avenue realignment, West Luchessa Avenue extension, Miller/W. Luchessa roundabout, curb, gutter, sidewalks, median islands, street paving, and utilities. As part of the Property Improvement Agreement the developer is required to provide Faithful 6.E Packet Pg. 21 Performance and Payment bonds of $2,770,279 for 100% of the estimated construction cost of the improvements. The Property Improvement Agreement 2019-01 identifies the following items as being reimbursable by the City: a. 24” Domestic Water Line – 840 LF. Per the City’s development fee schedule ($60/LF x 840LF) = $50,400; AND, b. Street reimbursement from the TIF for the reimbursable portion of W. Luchessa Ave being installed. The total of the TIF Reimbursement identified in City of Gilroy Traffic Circulation Master Plan not to exceed an estimated TIF reimbursement amount of $431,162.43; AND, c. Recycled water system improvements completed by this development will not be reimbursed until a recycled water reimbursement agreement is fully executed with the City, and until such time as the City fully executes a separate recycled water reimbursement agreement with the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Recycle Water system must be installed prior to any roadway pavement; and Recycle Water reimbursement shall not to exceed the estimated amount of $199,047.01. The owner/developer has confirmed the above reimbursement scope of work and reimbursement amounts by signing Property Improvement Agreement 2019-01. The owner/developer has paid plan check and inspection fees, submitted bonding, and insurance for the above referenced Property Improvement Agreement and Parcel Map. The Parcel Map is ready for Recording with Santa Clara County once approved by City Council. ALTERNATIVES Council has the following options with respect to this request by Glen Loma Ranch to approve the Parcel Map and Property Improvement Agreement No. 2019-10 for Below Market Rate (BMR) Towncenter Development Regarding Assessor Parcel Numbers 808-18-003 (portion), 808-19-022, and 808-19-023: 1. Council may approve the Parcel Map and PIA. STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS OPTION because it will keep the project on tract. The map is also consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and the agreement protects the City from liability. This is the same process used for the other similar phases of the Glen Loma Ranch development. 2. Deny the request to approve the Parcel Map and PIA. STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS OPTON because it will cause costly and unnecessary development delays. FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE There are no financial impacts with this Council action. 6.E Packet Pg. 22 At a later date Staff will bring back a Notice of Acceptance which will identify reimbursement for installation of public improvements per the PIA. Reimbursements are typically funded through various City funding sources:  Traffic Impact Fees will be reimbursed through the TIF Fund (433)  The water line reimbursement through the Water Development Fund (436)  The installation of the recycled water line will be reimbursed using pass-through funds between the Santa Clara Valley Water District, the City and the Developer through a pass-through 801 account NEXT STEPS Once approved, the Parcel Map and PIA will be recorded with the County of Santa Clara.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On an annual basis, the City Council considers and approves funding for public services and housing rehabilitation efforts provided by local nonprofit organizations. Available funding sources include the federal Community Development Block Grant (“Block Grant”) and the City of Gilroy Housing Trust Fund (“Housing Fund”). Qualifying projects include public services and housing rehabilitation programs that benefit low and very- low-income families and individuals. 8.A Packet Pg. 72 The Community and Neighborhood Revitalization Committee (Committee) evaluates and ranks applications received through a Request for Proposals process. Once this review is completed, their recommendations are presented to the City Council for approval. This year’s requests will cover the City’s two-year funding cycle (FY 2019-2020 and FY 2020-2021). While $419,066 in program funding was requested, the avai lable funding at the time of the Committee’s initial review was estimated at $396,955. The Committee’s recommendation includes $14,200 for subsequent allocation for important services to support fair housing and tenant-landlord counseling. At the time the original report was prepared the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was expected to finalize the funding availability of Block Grants prior to June 30, 2019. Since that time the City has received final notification fo our Block Grant allocation. This report updates a previous report (prepared for the April 15, 2019 City Council meeting). Key information that is new or updated can be distinguished as it is presented in italics and underline. BACKGROUND Prior Public Hearings At public hearings earlier this year, on February 4 and March 4, the City Council established funding priorities for the Block Grant and Housing Fund, respectively, for FY20 and FY21. The Council direction included clarification that awards would be renewed in the second year (FY21) based upon satisfactory performance in the first year and available funds. Funding priorities were identified as:  Basic Needs  Supportive Services  Youth Services  Housing Rehabilitation  Housing Services 8.A Packet Pg. 73 At the City Council meeting on April 15, 2019, at staff’s request, the Council opened the item for public comment and continued it to May 6, 2019. Subsequent to the April meeting, staff addressed concerns raised about funds that were previously unallocated and reconvened the Committee for a special meeting. Details of the Committee’s reconsideration of allocations are described below, under the Analysis Section. Request for Proposals On January 25, 2019, two Requests for Proposals (“Proposals”), in alignment with the funding priorities, were advertised in the Gilroy Dispatch. This opportunity was also posted on the City of Gilroy website on January 30, 2019. One Proposal requested projects and services for low and very low-income seniors, youths, families and individuals, consistent with the current five year Consolidated Plan that was adopted by Council in 2015. The second Proposal requested housing rehabilitation services for low income homeowners in Gilroy. These Proposals were due to the Purchasing Division no later than 4:00 p.m. on February 27, 2019. Applications received as part of this process are rated and ranked by the Committee. This process is described in more detail under the Analysis Section. No applications were submitted for fair housing and tenant -landlord counseling services (which is a goal under the Council’s priority category of Housing Services). As such, the City intends to issue a separate Proposal request for those particular services. At this time, at least one applicant who has provided such services in the past is known to have missed the February 27th Proposal submittal deadline. Annual Action Plan Aside from the competitive process through the Proposals, the City’s Annual Action Plan provides for an allocation of $40,000, which aligns with Goal 12 of the Council- approved Consolidated Plan. This goal states that “The City will support services at the Gilroy Youth Center to include educational and recreational/enrichment activities. It will also provide funding for free swim lessons and lifeguard training fo r low income youth.” This goal is implemented by the City of Gilroy Recreation Department under two requests: Free swim lessons and Youth Center. As these allocations are approved by the City Council (through the Annual Action Plan), these projects are included in the funding summary, however, were not participants in the competitive process. Funding Amount HUD has recently finalized the grant amounts and has informed the City of our entitlement. However, as part of the Proposal process, it was an estimated that $78,955 would be available in Block Grant funding for public service programs and $144,364 for 8.A Packet Pg. 74 Block Grant housing rehabilitation projects. In addition, $168,000 for public services programs is available through the City’s Housing Trust Fund. In total, approximately $396,955 could be distributed to qualifying projects. On Friday, April 27, 2019, based on information from HUD, the available amount for Block Grant funding for Public Services is anticipated to be $75,988. This represents a reduction in what was originally estimated; The total available grant funding is adjusted to reflect $388,352. As a result of this new information, the actions and recommendations by the Committee (below) have been adjusted to reflect available funding. ANALYSIS Review Process In response to the Proposal process, eight applications from nonprofit agencies were received. With the inclusion of the two non-competitive projects, a total of $419,066 in funding was requested. As mentioned above, those applications submitted in response to the Proposals were evaluated and ranked by the Committee members, and a recommended allocation based on the project’s ranking is presented for Council consideration and approval. The Committee met four times to prepare for, discuss and score each application received. At the first meeting on February 20, 2019, staff provided Committee members with an orientation about the grant funding cycle, including key dates and anticipated actions. On March 20, 2019, an overview of the agency intervie w process was presented to Committee members as well as audience members. Nonprofit applicants presented their funding requests and answered Committee questions about their proposals. Originally, the Committee conducted a meeting on March 27, 2019 to complete the review process. Committee members rated and ranked each application, pursuant to the established evaluation criteria. For applicants that had applied for such funding in the previous year, their performance (between July 2018 through December 2018 ) was considered. Each request was scored and ranked based on the ability to meet each criterion, or rating factor. Funding allocation recommendations for each request are based on the final ranking and funding availability. Following the April 15th City Council meeting, a Special Meeting of the Committee was convened to provide the Committee with an opportunity to allocate available funding as desired. At that meeting, on April 24, 2019, staff presented the available funding opportunities and described the maximum amounts under each of the three categories. It was also clarified that allocations may not be carried over from one category to 8.A Packet Pg. 75 another. As stated previously, the Block Grant funding has been adjusted to more accurately reflect the available funding. In total, an estimated $388,352 is available, as follows: Housing Fund Block Grant/Public Services Block Grant/Housing Rehabilitation GRAND TOTAL $ 168,000 $ 75,988 $ 144,364 $ 388,352 As a result of the Special Meeting, the Committee’s final reco mmendation for allocations is provided in the revised table, under Project Ranking, below. Project Ranking and Allocations Although the requested amounts from all applications exceeds the availability of funds, the Committee nonetheless supports allocation of funds to all eight applications received. Based on their ranking, some projects received support for the full amount requested, and some received a portion of the requested amount. At the Special Meeting on April 24th, no changes were made to the Committee’s original ranking of proposed projects. The Committee took action to retain the previous allocations recommended for Housing Fund projects. However, an additional $755 under Block Grant funding was identified by staff as previously unallocated; this amount was added to the Compassion Center’s Homeless Day Care Project. The Committee’s action also included allocating $14,200 of Housing Fund for needed fair housing and tenant-landlord services. It was understood that this would be addressed through a Proposal to follow. Therefore, all available funding, inclusive of Block Grant/Public Service funding adjustments, is now recommended for allocations, as follows: Available Funding Source Agency Project Housing Fund Block Grant/Public Service Block Grant/Housing Rehabilitation The Health Trust Meals on Wheels $20,000 N/A Gilroy Compassion Center Day Care for the Homeless $23,800 $16,318 N/A St. Joseph’s Family Center Homeless Prevention and Safety Net Services $50,000 N/A St. Joseph’s Family Center Gilroy Street Team $35,000 N/A Silicon Valley Independent Living Center Housing and Emergency Services for Persons with Disabilities $25,000 N/A 8.A Packet Pg. 76 Available Funding Source Agency Project Housing Fund Block Grant/Public Service Block Grant/Housing Rehabilitation Catholic Charities Long Term Care Ombudsman N/A $9,624 N/A Live Oak Adult Day Services Adult Day Care Gilroy N/A $11,549 N/A Gilroy Recreation Department Swim Lessons and Youth Center N/A $38,497 N/A (future Proposal) Fair Housing and Tenant- Landlord Services $14,200 N/A N/A Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley Rebuilding Home Repair, Rehabilitation and Accessibility Modification N/A N/A $144,364 TOTALS FOR EACH FUNDING SOURCE $168,000 $75,988 $144,364 A comprehensive listing of projects including the originally requested funding and Committee ranking is provided as an attachment to this report. A compilation of descriptions for each project (application cover pages) is also provided as an attachment. A summary of the funding allocations by process type is provided below. This includes the Committee’s allocations and the funding adjustments (described above) as it pertains to the Block Grant funding from HUD: GRANT BREAKDOWN BY PROCESS AMOUNT Competitive (RFP) $335,655 Non-Competitive (AAP) $38,497 Fair Housing Services (future RFP) $14,200 GRAND TOTAL $388,352 ALTERNATIVES 1. The City Council may approve the funding distribution of Community Development Block Grant and Housing Trust Fund allocations to nonprofit agencies for public service and housing rehabilitation projects, for FY20 and FY21, as recommended by the Community and Neighborhood Revitalization Committee. Approval of this funding will enable low and very low-income families and individuals to benefit from public services and housing repair and rehabilitation efforts. As such, this action is recommended. 2. The City Council may elect not to approve the funding recommendations. Since there is no other funding available for low income public services and housing rehabilitation and repair programs, not approving these funding allocations will result in these services not being made available to low income households in the City of Gilroy. As such, this action is not recommended. 8.A Packet Pg. 77 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Each project funded by Block Grant will undergo a Federal National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) review prior to the release of funds. FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE Block Grant funds are allocated by the federal HUD on an annual basis. Block Grant funding for year one of the city’s two-year budget cycle will be determined in the current federal budgeting process for FY20. The budget for the federal Block Grant program for each year could be increased, decreased or not funded based on Congressional budget appropriations and final federal Block Grant budget approvals. The Housing Fund is a local City of Gilroy fund utilized to support affordable housing loans, programs and related services. Housing Fund is replenished as loans provided to low-income homebuyers are repaid. Sufficient funds are available for the recommended awards. NEXT STEPS Upon City Council approval of Block Grant and Housing Fund amounts for public services and housing rehabilitation, staff will prepare the Draft FY20 Annual Action Plan for forwarding the County Office of Supportive Housing. The County will thensubmit to HUD for final review and approval. Upon HUD’s final approval, the City of Gilroy Block Grant program funds will be available and effective as of July 1, 2019 thru June 30, 2020. PUBLIC OUTREACH The public notice for this item was published in the Gilroy Dispatch on March 15, 2019.

A stated ordinance outlining the City Council’s position to protect business interests and outline procedures to help resolve disputes may add value to downtown businesses, the City of Gilroy, and residents. The proposed ordinance is attached to this report. 8.B Packet Pg. 90 BACKGROUND Over the last several months, the City Council has provided direction for staff to pursue a variety of economic development related activities and, in a broader view, expressed an interest in expanding the City's overall economic development role. During the November 26th, 2018 Study Session on Economic Development, the City Council directed staff to look into a means of promoting the right for downtown businesses to conduct business. Staff has reviewed policies f rom other cities and downtown association and working with the City Attorney has prepared a draft ordinance for the Council’s review. Staff has reviewed policies from other cities and the California Downtown Association. Working with the City Attorney, staff had prepared a draft ordinance for the Council’s review. During the March 4, 2019 City Council meeting, staff presented a conceptual ordinance for promulgating deed notifications as a condition of discretionary development permits and transfers of property. Council provided staff with direction to proceed with drafting a formal ordinance for the City Council to consider. As the recommended ordinance is located within the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission reviewed the draft ordinance during the regularly scheduled meeting on April 4, 2019. The Planning commission recommends consideration by the City Council. ANALYSIS Residential and commercial uses sometimes conflict resulting in costly court battles and wasted time for residents, small business owners, code enforcement officials, city staff, and all parties involved. A stated ordinance outlining the City Council’s position to protect business interests and outline procedures to help resolve disputes may add value to downtown businesses, the City of Gilroy, and residents. Such an ordinance would help primarily by avoiding the use of the court system to resolve conflicts. The proposed mechanism to resolve disputes is a waiver/deed restriction that residents would have to sign if they are moving into the downtown. The waiver would outline dispute resolution steps. Staff anticipates an ordinance to promote downtown businesses and creating deed restrictions would have the following purposes: • State the intention of the Council to protect business operations in downtown • Set expectations of property owners, tenants, residents, and users that the downtown is a vibrant activity center that may not be conducive to a quite living situation • Promote a good neighbor policy between uses 8.B Packet Pg. 91 • Encourage the use of mediation and dispute resolution rather than expensive court proceedings • Promote ongoing communication The proposed ordinance would be implemented by way of the following logistics: • Any permit relating to property located in downtown, as a condition of approval, each parcel owner shall record a notification deed outlined in the city code. The notification must also be adopted in any subsequent leases and transfers. • The notice provided is intended to advise property owners, tenants and users of property within the downtown the inherent impacts and inconveniences associated with purchase, tenancy or use of property in the downtown. • The ordinance adopted would have the specific language for the proposed “Notice of right to downtown operations” • The ordinance would state that “properly operated downtown operations are not a nuisance under California Civil Code Section 3479” • The ordinance would stipulate dispute resolution mechanisms. • Every developer or property or business owner in the downtown would be required as a condition of approval to provide contact information for a community liaison. The proposed ordinance affects the entire downtown area encompassed within a series of streets that serve as the border of this area. Generally, portions of Forest Street, Alexander Street, the Union Pacific Railroad line, and the alley between Alexander and Railroad Streets create the western boundary. Luchessa Avenue, the extension of Banes Lane, and the Princevalle Drain create the southern boundary. Along the eastern perimeter are Monterey Street, Tecate Lane, Eigleberry Street, the alley between Church and Eigleberry, Seventh Street, Dowdy Street, Sixth Street, and Church Street. Finally, Welburn Avenue and Leavesley Road, inclusive of all corner properties at the intersection of Monterey Street, form the northern perimeter of this area, which is illustrated in Figure 1 below: Figure 1: Downtown Gilroy Specific Plan 8.B Packet Pg. 92 ALTERNATIVES 1. Introduce the proposed City of Gilroy Ordinance for Promoting the Right to do Business in Downtown Gilroy. STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS OPTION. As stated above in the analysis section such an ordinance would potentially avoid conflict between residential and commercial uses. 2. Do not introduce the proposed City of Gilroy Ordinance for Promoting the Right to do Business in Downtown Gilroy. STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS OPTION. FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE No fiscal impact or funding source has been identified. If the council directs staff to bring back an ordinance for consideration of adoption, then it would require staff time. CONCLUSION An Ordinance for Promoting the Right to do Business in Downtown Gilroy would declare the intention of the Council to protect business operations in downtown while also being considerate of residents in the downtown area. It would also outline procedures for staff to promulgate deed notifications for any future residential development. NEXT STEPS Schedule a second reading for adoption during the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on May 20th, 2019. If approved, staff will introduce the proposed Ordinance for Promoting the Right to do Business in Downtown Gilroy. Staff will notice residents and businesses as well as schedule a public hearing. 8.B Packet Pg. 93 PUBLIC OUTREACH In order to formulate a balanced approach with broad based community support, staff has collaborated with the Downtown Business Association, the California Downtown Association, and the Chamber of Commerce, and has also conducted outreach with residential property managers in the downtown area. This meeting and agenda items were posted to the City’s webpage and property managers within the downtown were notified. 8.B Packet Pg. 94 City of Gilroy STAFF REPORT Agenda Item Title: Approval of the Community Development Block Grant Draft Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Meeting Date: May 6, 2019 From: Gabriel Gonzalez, City Administrator Department: Community Development Department Submitted By: Kristi Abrams Prepared By: Kristi Abrams Jim Carney Strategic Plan Goals ☐ Fiscal Stability ☐ Downtown Revitalization  Economic Development ☐ Customer Service ☐ Enhanced Public Safety RECOMMENDATION Approve the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2019-2020. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City’s five-year Consolidated Plan is a requirement of receiving Community Development Block Grant (Block Grant) funds from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The current 5-Year Consolidated Plan spans calendar years 2015-2020 or FY16 to FY20. The City Council at its February 2, 2015 meeting approved a set of priorities to include in the development of the Consolidat ed Plan and commensurate Action Plans. Developing an Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) for each of the fiscal years within the Consolidated Plan is also required. Action Plans program the use of federal funding for their respective fiscal year. The City of Gilroy elects to include the use of Housing Trust Fund (Housing Trust) dollars in its Action Plan. 8.C Packet Pg. 95 The City Council is also considering approval of FY20 and FY21 distributions for public service and housing rehabilitation services grants at its May 6, 2019 meeting. The FY20 recommended distributions are reflected in the draft Action Plan. FY20 represents year five of the current Consolidated Plan. The Action Plan for FY20 is being submitted to Council for their review and approval. BACKGROUND The Consolidated Plan describes the City’s affordable housing and non -housing community development needs, resources and priorities for the period of July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2020. Through an extensive public outreach process and evaluation of needs in the community, the City has identified twenty-two goals it wishes to address within the five-year period of the Consolidated Plan and includes a list of City goals for Block Grant and Housing Trust expenditures. HUD has announced FY20 federal Block Grant amounts. Gilroy will receive a total Block Grant allocation for FY20 of $476,592, approximately a 4% reduction from the FY18-19 Block Grant amount of $496,369. (The City received allocation notification subsequent to the City Council meeting on April 15, 2019.) During FY20, the City is expected to receive an estimated $30,000 in Block Grant program income from various sources (such as past housing rehabilitation loan repayments and rents from the City-owned Cherry Blossom building). In alignment with the City Council approved priorities and ongoing community development needs, the City proposes to allocate the total anticipated available funding of $506,592 ($476,592+$30,000) as follows: 1. $ 75,988 for public services 2. $101,318 for program administration 3. $7,700 for code enforcement 4. $144,364 for the Home Access Program to be administered by the non-profit Building Together. 5. $177,222 for capital projects in the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. In alignment with the City Council approved two-year budget, the City expects to expend in FY20 $168,000 in Housing Trust funds for housing related programs and services. Examples include, homeless prevention, Meals on Wheels and the Downtown Streets Team. Fair housing assistance, tenant landlord counseling and mediation services is anticipated be funded by a separate Request for Proposals (RFP) issued in early FY20. ALTERNATIVES 8.C Packet Pg. 96 1. The City Council may approve the draft Annual Action Plan for FY20 regarding use of Block Grant and Housing Trust revenue for submittal to Santa Clara County who will submit the Action Plan to HUD for final review and approval. The Council action will initiate steps necessary for HUD approval that will provide benefits to low and very low-income families and individuals in the community. As such, this action is recommended. 2. The City Council may elect not to approve the draft Annual Action Plan for FY20. Without approval of the Annual Action Plan, the grant funds and its benefits for City of Gilroy low and very low-income community will not be provided. As such, this action is not recommended. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT All projects that receive Block Grant funding will undergo the appropriate environmental assessment prior to the release of funds. PUBLIC NOTICE The public notice for this item was published in the Gilroy Dispatch and the draft Action Plan was released for the HUD-mandated 30-day public comment period, both on April 5, 2019. Any comments received by May 5, 2019 will be incorporated into the final draft submitted to HUD for its review. FISCAL IMPACT The activities are funded by an annual Block Grant entitlement grant from HUD, Block Grant rehabilitation loan payments, Housing Trust Fund rehabilitation loan payments, and net rental revenue from the city-owned Cherry Blossom building.

Introduction Annually, HUD allocates a series of grants to local jurisdictions for community development activities. The City of Gilroy is an entitlement jurisdiction (cities with a population above 50,000 people, a requirement to receive these entitlement grants). As such, the City is subject to Title I of the National Affordable Housing Act which mandates that jurisdictions prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan. That Plan identifies local community development needs and sets forth a strategy to address these needs over a five-year period. The Consolidated Plan must address both affordable housing and non-housing related community development needs. The needs are targeted to low and very low-income persons and/or who reside low-income areas. Also required is the need to prepare an Annual Action Plan (AAP) for each of the five years included in the five-year Consolidated Plan. This next CDBG program year, Fiscal Year 2019-2020 (HUD Program Year 2019), represents the fifth year of the current City Council adopted five-year Consolidated Plan. This FY 19 AAP will address how the City of Gilroy plans to address the strategies listed in the Consolidated Plan for the period of July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020. Although funding amounts have not been released, the City anticipates a CDBG allocation for this fiscal year of approximately $476,592 as well as an additional $30,000 in Program Income, and $168,000 in HTF funds. Any minor changes (i.e. typos, minor edits, changes that do not affect the essence of the document) to this Plan will be completed through a minor amendment process that will not require further citizen participation or City Council approval. Substantial amendments (i.e. funding changes, re-allocation of project monies, etc.) will follow the City’s citizen participation plan, and require a public hearing and Council approval. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan. HUD has established a set of outcomes and objectives entitlement jurisdictions need to address. The outcomes and objectives are noted within each of the twenty-two Goals included in the Strategic Plan (SP-45) section of the Consolidated Plan. In summary, they are as follows:  Outcomes: Availability/Accessibility; Affordability; Sustainability  Objectives: Create suitable living environments; Provide Decent Affordable Housing; Create Economic Opportunities 8.C.a Packet Pg. 99 Attachment: 2019-2020 Draft Annual Action Plan PA Final Draft for May 6_KA (2139 : Community Development Block Grant Draft Anual Action AAP 2019 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The outcomes and objectives are noted within each of the twenty-two Goals included in the Strategic Plan (SP-45) section of the Consolidated Plan. In Fiscal Year 2019-2020, the City will address twenty of the twenty-two goals noted in the Consolidated Plan. Details on which goals the City will address as well as how the City plans to do so are noted in Section AP-20 “Annual Goals and Objectives” of this AAP. 3. Evaluation of past performance This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects. A meaningful evaluation of past performance is integral to determine what has been accomplished and what work is necessary to address the myriad of needs in the community. This evaluation included a review of past Consolidated Plans and AAPs as well as the successes achieved through the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy. Through this evaluation, the City was able to compare the needs identified through this Consolidated Plan and compare them to the activities that have taken place in the past to determine if those activities are still necessary. Priority needs, and goals were then formulated to meet these needs with an eye to what has been successful in the past and what is necessary in the future. The City will report, in detail, on its performance in the FY 19-20 Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) due to HUD in September 2019. As in integral function of preparing for the CAPER, City of Gilroy Housing and Community Development (HCD) staff monitors financial and program performance of CDBG and HTF funding sub-recipients on a quarterly basis. Depending upon the results of that review, staff works with sub-recipients to achieve spending and performance objectives. The City of Gilroy continues to meet the requirements set forth in the HUD regulations that govern the CDBG (CDBG) program. These include thorough programmatic and financial oversight of funded projects; appropriate budgeting and expenditure of funds based on HUD financial requirements; and, insuring the community continues to receive the necessary services identified through goals established in the development of the five-year Consolidated Plan. 4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Public participation plays a central role in the development of the Consolidated Plan. As a precursor to the development of the FY 19-20 (FY 19-20) AAPs, the City Council held a series of three Noticed, for thirty days, Public Hearings, heard citizen comments and approved priorities for funding allocations. The priorities are incorporated into the FY 2019-2020 draft AAP. 8.C.a Packet Pg. 100 Attachment: 2019-2020 Draft Annual Action Plan PA Final Draft for May 6_KA (2139 : Community Development Block Grant Draft Anual Action AAP 2019 4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Prior to the award of public service and housing rehabilitation funds the Community and Neighborhood Revitalization Committee (CNRC) met three times to review the planned CDBG and HTF funding process, Council priorities and discuss the adopted rating and ranking process for the potential applications to be submitted by non-profit agencies wishing to receive funding. On February 4, 2019 City Council adopted CDBG priorities. On March 4, 2019 City Council adopted HTF priorities, and on April 15, 2 019 CNRC recommended CDBG and HTF funding allocations for non-profit provided low income public services and a housing rehabilitation grant program. On March 20, 2019, the CNRC conducted interviews of each applicant. Then on March 27, 2019 the Committee rated and ranked each applicant and determined recommended funding amounts for each of the eight non-profit applicants. The CNRC’s funding recommendations were forwarded to the City Council for draft approval of the first of a two-year funding cycle at its April 15, 2019 Public Hearing meeting. All meetings of the CNRC were properly noticed and opened to the public. Further, the Committee met again on April 24, 2019 and finalized its recommendations to City Council for CDBG and HTF funding allocations. All public hearings were published in the Gilroy Dispatch, the local newspaper. The draft Action Plan was made available on April 5, 2019 for public comment on the City’s website as were public notices in English and Spanish. A hard copy of the draft Action Plan and notices were made available at the Community Development/Planning Counter of the City of Gilroy and at the Gilroy Public Library. The notices were also posted at City Hall in a location reserved for public notices. The public hearings were broadcast on Public TV Channel 17. Notices of public comment opportunities were emailed to the following group lists: South County Collaborative, Housing Advisory Committee, South County Homeless Task Force, and the CNRC as well as to the applicants for funding. The draft AAP will include all comments that are received. A public hearing with the City Council to adopt the Action Plan will occur on May 6, 2019. Based on HUD’s notification to the City of its FY 2019-2020 CDBG allocation, the adopted AAP may be modified to reflect actual CDBG funding levels for FY2019-2020 based on the contingency plan to revise funding allocations for all CDBG funded projects, programs and public service activities on an across-the-board percentage basis. NOTE: As of April 5, 2019, Congress and the President have not approved federal budget for FY19, including the HUD funding for the CDBG program. Therefore, upon HUD’s official notice to the City of Gilroy if its FY19-20 CDBG grant amount, the City staff will revise the allocation amounts in the adopted AAP and forward that document for HUD’s review and approval, pursuant to HUD’s instructions. 5.

Introduction The FY 19-20 AAP represents the fourth year of the five-year Consolidated Plan. Development of the Action Plan utilized the consultative process used for the 2015 - 2020 Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan). The Consolidated Plan was done in collaboration with eight entitlement jurisdictions. These jurisdictions were:  City of Cupertino  City of Gilroy  City of Mountain View  City of Palo Alto  City of Sunnyvale  City of San José  City of Santa Clara  Santa Clara Urban County Public participation played a central role in the development of the Consolidated Plan. The participating jurisdictions within the County launched an in -depth, collaborative regional effort to consult with community stakeholders, elected offices, City and County departments, and beneficiaries of entitlement programs to inform and develop the priorities and strategies contained within the five-year plan. The participating jurisdictions, in partnership with LeSar Development Consultants (LDC) and MIG, Inc. (MIG), facilitated a comprehensive outreach process to enhance coordination and discuss new approaches to working with public and assisted housing providers, legal advocates, private and governmental health agencies, mental health service providers, and other stakeholders that utilize funding for eligible activities, projects, and programs. A Regional Needs Survey was conducted to solicit input from residents and workers in the region. Respondents were informed that participating jurisdictions were updating their respective Consolidated Plans for federal funds that primarily serve low - and moderate-income (LMI) residents and areas. The Regional Needs Survey polled respondents about the level of need in their respective neighborhoods for various types of improvements that could be addressed by entitlement funds. 8.C.a Packet Pg. 104 Attachment: 2019-2020 Draft Annual Action Plan PA Final Draft for May 6_KA (2139 : Community Development Block Grant Draft Anual Action AAP 2019 8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) A total of 1,472 survey responses were obtained from September 19, 2014 to November 15, 2014, including 1,078 surveys collected electronically and 394 collected via print surveys. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)) Regional Forums The participating jurisdictions held three regional public forums to identify housing and community development needs and priorities for the next five years.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. The Santa Clara County Continuum of Care (CoC) is a multi-sector group of stakeholders dedicated to ending and preventing homelessness in the County of Santa Clara (County). The CoC’s primary responsibilities are to coordinate large -scale implementation of efforts to prevent and end homelessness in the County. In winter 2015, the CoC partnered with Destination: Home, a public-private partnership committed to collective impact strategies to end chronic homelessness and released a Community Plan to End Homelessness in Santa Clara County (the Plan), which outlines a roadmap for community-wide efforts to end homelessness in the County by 2020. The strategies and action steps included in the Plan were informed by members who participated in a series of community summits designed to address the needs of homeless populations from April to August 2014. The Plan identifies strategies to address the needs of homeless persons in the County, including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth. Additionally, it also intended to address the needs of persons at risk of homelessness. The Plan aims to implement the following strategies: [1] 1. Disrupt systems: Develop disruptive strategies and innovative prototypes that transform the systems related to housing homeless people. 2. Build the solution: Secure the right amount of funding needed to pr ovide housing and services to those who are homeless and those at risk of homelessness. 8.C.a Packet Pg. 106 Attachment: 2019-2020 Draft Annual Action Plan PA Final Draft for May 6_KA (2139 : Community Development Block Grant Draft Anual Action AAP 2019 10 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 3. Serve the person: Adopt an approach that recognizes the need for client - centered strategies with different responses for different levels of need and different groups, targeting resources to the specific individual or household. Over the next five years, the Plan seeks to identify approximately 6,000 new housing opportunities for the homeless, intending to house 2,518 homeless individuals, 718 homeless veterans, and more than 2,333 children, unaccompanied youth, and homeless individuals living in families. Members of the CoC meet on a monthly basis in various work groups to ensure successful implementation components of the Plan’s action steps. A Community Plan Implementation Team, which includes members of the CoC and other community stakeholders, meets quarterly to evaluate progress toward the Plan’s goals, identify gaps in homeless services, establish funding priorities, and pursue an overall systematic approach to address homelessness.[2] [1] Santa Clara County CoC. “Community Plan to End Homelessness in Santa [2] Ibid.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs Funding of most projects was based on a competitive process that involved a Request for Proposals. Interested applicants submitting funding requests based on the targeted priorities developed by the City. Proposals were then reviewed by the City's Community and Neighborhood Revitalization Committee (CNRC), interviews took place of each applicant and based on both, the CNRC scored each applicant. Funds were distributed based on the applicants meeting the stated priorities and funding availability. The main obstacle to this process was the limited availability of funding. However, the City, with the assistance of the CNRC, made strategic investments and funded projects that could make the greatest impact to the ongoing needs of the community. 8.C.a Packet Pg. 134 Attachment: 2019-2020 Draft Annual Action Plan PA Final Draft for May 6_KA (2139 : Community Development Block Grant Draft Anual Action AAP 2019 38 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP -50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f) Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low - income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City will continue to utilize CDBG funding to support citywide efforts that meet the needs of the community.

The vacancy rate for this area is 7.02 % as compared to the surrounding county rate of 4.6%. Further research showed that HUD has identified the three combined tracts as "Qualified Census Tracts" (QCTs) for Low Income Housing Tax Credits. To meet this designation a tract must have either a poverty rate of at least 25% or 50% or more of its householders must ha ve incomes below 60% of the county median income. The same area is currently considered by the Small Business Administration to be a "Historically Underutilized Business Zone" (HUB Zone). Small businesses in such a zone have certain preferences in obtain ing federal contracts. Further, a considerable number of homeless persons are found in the NRSA and most of Gilroy’s providers of homeless services are located within the boundaries. Also, the NSRA census tract has recently been identified as a potential Opportunity Zone private investment incentive program. This program is expected to be adopted in the new federal budget for FY 19-20 and associated federal tax reform legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President by September 30, 2019. The program will be administered by U.S. Treasury Department with program rules projected to become available in 2019. The program will allow private companies to invest in community and job creation activities within the Gilroy Opportunity Zone and in exchange receive a federal tax credit.

While the City has limited to no capacity to provide direct financial support of affordable housing, there does exist opportunities to both advocate and support efforts in acquiring affordable housing financing. Also, the City will continue to support the rehabilitation of housing for low income residents. These improvements will include, but not be limited to, accessibility improvements, roof repairs, and kitchen remodels. All the improvements will strive to insure safe and sanitary housing for individuals who are otherwise unable to make such improvements.

With one of the highest per-capita population of homeless individuals in the County, homelessness represents one of the top social issues that impact the community. The city will participate in countywide efforts to address homelessness and play an active role in the "Community Plan to End Homelessness". Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs In South County, outreach is currently limited to law enforcement, volunteers and the existing safety net agencies. This proposal would increase the effectiveness of the countywide coordinated entry system (which is required by HUD). Having dedicated outreach teams would increase the number of individuals who are assessed and would increase the speed at which individuals and families are referred to and enrolled in supportive housing programs. Moreover, through a partnership with the Santa Clara County Behavioral Health Services Department (BHSD) this program will help ensure that: 1) the County is addressing some of the unmet mental health needs of homeless persons; and, 2) will establish a more holistic and humane response to meeting the needs of unsheltered homeless persons. These teams would work closely with the County's outreach team and other contracted outreach teams. Further, two formerly homeless individuals sit on the Continuum of Care board. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons There does not exist an emergency shelter within the City of Gilroy. The City will continue to fund day services that will meet the basic needs of homeless individuals. It will also fund efforts to support victims of domestic violence who are often left homeless when a victim leaves their abuser. The City will make efforts to identify long-term housing for these clients by the agency that provides such services. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience 8.C.a Packet Pg. 140 Attachment: 2019-2020 Draft Annual Action Plan PA Final Draft for May 6_KA (2139 : Community Development Block Grant Draft Anual Action AAP 2019 44 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. The City does not have the financial resources to directly fund such activities. Agencies that provide services to the homeless will continue to explore housing options with other funds that are leveraged with City resources. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low -income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The City will fund homeless prevention efforts designed to prevent an individual(s) from becoming homeless. The services provided will help families threatened with eviction, or help homeless, unhoused families secure permanent housing with emergency rental assistance. The funds will serve as a bridge to solving a crisis situation.

These barriers include the lack of developable land which increases housing development costs and local opposition that is often based on misconceptions, such as a foreseen increase in crime; erosion of property values; increase in parking and traffic congestion. [1] However, to ensure a healthy economy the region must focus on strategies and investment that provide housing for much of the region’s workforce whose incomes may significantly limit their housing choices. [2] The City identified several potential constraints to the development, maintenance, and improvement of housing and affordable housing, in its 2015 -2023 Housing Element update: [3]  The General Plan constitutes the highest-level policy document for the City. As such, a City’s General Plan contains several items that can affect the development and distribution of housing, such as land -use classifications, and density and intensity standards.  The City’s residential zoning designations control both the use and development standards of each residential parcel, thereby influencing the development of housing. The City has found that the maximum development limits established by the Zoning Ordinance do not pose a constraint to the development of housing, although these regulations do have an obvious effect on the cost and development of housing.  Parking requirements do not constrain the development of housing directly, but may reduce the amount of available lot area for residential development.

The City will continue to enforce the Residential Development Ordinance (RDO) Affordable Housing Exemption Procedure (Procedure). The intent of the Procedure is to set forth specific criteria and guidelines for the affordable housing exemptions included in the City of Gilroy Zoning Ordinance. The goal of the Procedure is to meet the current and future needs of all segments of the community specifically both for-sale and rental housing to low income individuals. The City, through the implementation of its Housing Element, will continue to identify opportunities to promote the development of affordable housing where possible.

Below is further information on other actions it plans to undertake during the same timeframe. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs As noted prior, the most significant obstacle in meeting underserved needs is the limited availability of funding. The City will continue to research potential opportunities for additional sources of funding to address the needs it is unable to address with the funds available. When funds become available, the City will research the potential uses of those funds and make a determination as to whether or not it can be used to address underserved needs. Such efforts will be addressed when the City reports out its accomplishments through the CAPER. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue to support and provide technical assistance to developers of affordable for-sale and rental housing. It will continue to research and evaluate options that could provide additional financial support the development of affordable housing. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City will continue to educate the community regarding the hazards of lead poisoning, particularly about lead-based paint hazards. It will maintain information on the dangers of lead-based paint at the Community Development counter. It will provide handouts to rehabilitation program clients and test for lead-based paint as required. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City expects that through the community services funding both through the CDBG and Housing Trust Fund programs will reduce the number of poverty -level families. Actions planned to develop institutional structure City staff and staff from the other CDBG entitlement cities in the County of Santa Clara and the County of Santa Clara as well as the Housing Authority of Santa Clara County participate in quarterly CDBG Coordinators meetings. These meetings discuss data resources and strive to coordinate requests for information to both public and private 8.C.a Packet Pg. 144 Attachment: 2019-2020 Draft Annual Action Plan PA Final Draft for May 6_KA (2139 : Community Development Block Grant Draft Anual Action AAP 2019 48 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) countywide agencies. These meetings help City staff to better understand the County and non-profit social service structure. Additionally, HUD staff meets with this group to clarify issues and assist in providing ongoing programmatic technical information. Th e email list serve for this group enables members to share information and to provide technical assistance to one another. The quarterly meetings promote and create an environment of cooperation and understanding of differing needs, concer ns, and issues among the group. This expansion of knowledge of regional issues and sharing of information benefits each of the individual jurisdictions represented in the group. Also, City staff participates in the South County Collaborative that consists of providers of services to low income and special needs residents of Gilroy, San Martin and Morgan Hill. The Collaborative is a nonprofit organization , which is able to apply for funding that benefits the communities it serves. Collaborative members share information through an active list serve and receive notices of public comment periods on the AAPs and CAPERs. Lastly, the City's Police Department hosts a monthly meeting that includes representatives from County Mental Health, staff from various nonprofit agencies, health workers, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, faith-based organizations, as well as individual volunteers. The focus is on identifying resources and on sharing information on homeless individuals that have been identified by the police and outreach workers as being ready to get off the streets or who are in particularly dire need. The sharing of information and resources also has as a goal of conserving resources such as police time spent in re-arresting the same homeless person multiple times. The group is also considering viable alternatives to illegal encampments in Gilroy. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies As noted in the "Actions planned to develop institutional structure" the City actively participates in various groups and collaborative designed to share information, bring awareness to the needs and services of the community and organized to design solutions to the many needs in the community. The City will continue to part icipate in such efforts with the goal of bringing forth additional resources to City residents.

DISCUSSION The City of Gilroy has an opportunity to enter into an exclusivity agreement for the possibility of a future partnership with a private firm , Sharks Sports & Entertainment, LLC. At this time, before the City can proceed in business discussions, it is necessary to enter into a temporary exclusivity agreement. Exclusivity is the condition in which each party grants the other party sole rights with regard to a particular business function or product sale and/or purchase. Put another way, exclusivity is an arrangement between two parties wherein neither will explore entering into a similar deal with other parties for a certain time period. 10.A Packet Pg. 147 The considered exclusivity agreement would give both parties the opportunity to conduct due diligence and proceed in talks without losing a potential deal right away. During this time staff would take a close look at the details of the proposal and determine if it is advantageous for the community, or not, and how best to proceed. After conducting due diligence we would hope to get a viable framework of deal points. The proposed framework would then be used to draft an agreement that is mutually beneficial. The City Council would then have the opportunity to review any potential future agreement, as a result of these exclusive talks, before execution. While project details are still under discussion, the facility would likely include opportunities for a variety of sporting programs and events to include ice hockey and would be located off Monterey Road, as part of the Gilroy Sports Park. Neither the San Jose Sharks nor the San Jose Barracuda teams would re-locate to Gilroy as part of this project. Having the proposed facility operated by a national brand with a proven track record of operating recreational ice facilities would be a great opportunity for economic development and has the potential to heighten our position in the region as a destination location and increase travel and tourism to Gilroy. Discussions during this preliminary period are non-binding and provide the opportunity to fully assess the potential of the proposed facility in Gilroy. ALTERNATIVES 1. Enter into an exclusivity agreement. This is the recommended action because it allows the City to fully assess the revenue potential and potential community benefits. 2. Do not enter into an exclusivity agreement. This is not recommended because it would necessarily stop any further business discussions. FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE None. If a future agreement, created as a result of the deal points drafted during this potential period of exclusivity, had a financial impact, then it would be presented along with the staff report to approve the future agreement. NEXT STEPS After conducting due diligence we would hope to get a viable framework of deal points. In the event a future project is viable the appropriate additional studies and reports will need to be conducted. Any future agreement would be subject to both parties’ respective governing bodies or executive representatives will need to approve any future agreement. The proposed framework would be used to draft an agreement that is mutually beneficial. 10.A Packet Pg. 148 City of Gilroy STAFF REPORT Agenda Item Title: Report on the Status of Existing Broadcasting Capabilities at City Hall and Proposal for Upgrading Services and City-Owned Equipment Meeting Date: May 6, 2019 From: Gabriel Gonzalez, City Administrator Department: Administration Submitted By: Gabriel Gonzalez Prepared By: Gabriel Gonzalez Rachelle Bedell Strategic Plan Goals  Fiscal Stability ☐ Downtown Revitalization ☐ Economic Development  Customer Service ☐ Enhanced Public Safety RECOMMENDATION Receive report and provide direction to staff. BACKGROUND City-owned recording and broadcasting equipment is in need of upgrades or replacement, with some pieces of equipment being over 28 years old. Funds for upgrades to City broadcasting equipment and services are available in accordance with the Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act (DIVCA) but under the current agreement, approximately half of the funding available is not going towards City needs, instead funding Community Media Access Partnership (CMAP) services. We are proposing an alternative which would provide funding to the City to undertake these improvement projects; staff is proposing to discontinue the contract with CMAP to provide a fiscally responsible option for needed upgrades. 11.A Packet Pg. 149 In accordance with DIVCA, local cable providers are required to provide funding to assist with the cost of operating public access channels in the form of (1) PEG Fees and (2) Franchise Fees. In 2001 the cities of Gilroy, Hollister, and San Juan Bautista sought support for providing government access channels and entered into an agreement with CMAP, establishing CMAP as the non-profit organization to provide Public, Education, and Government (PEG) facilities, services and programming for the cities. PEG Fees and a portion of the Franchise Fees are passed from each of the cities to CMAP for these services. Under the City of Gilroy’s agreement with CMAP, approximately half of the revenues received from the cable companies are provided to CMAP. Consider the below chart. Fees Sent to CMAP Annually for ‘Public Access Channel Services’ (1) PEG Fees 100% to CMAP Approximately $180,000 Specified Use for Capital Improvements (2) Franchise Fees 20% to CMAP Approximately $60,000 Available for Capital Improvements or Operating Expenses Total: $240,000 Current Services Provided to the City by CMAP With this funding, CMAP currently provides cable channel access to Charter for the City of Gilroy. In addition, they provide programming for Channels 18,19, and 20 with the City of Gilroy providing staffing for recording of and programming for Channel 17. CMAP is able to provide staffing for recording of City of Gilroy government meetings at a cost of $50 per hour. ALTERNATIVES 1. Move Broadcast Service In-House: Through transitioning away from CMAP and bringing the PEG and Franchise Fees back to the City, upgrades to services and equipment can be provided without additional cost to the City. Moving broadcast services in-house is understood to be a fairly simple process and is anticipated to have very little ongoing impact on staff time. The transition would require the acquisition of approximately two additional pieces of equipment not currently owned by the City and a re-routing of signal cable at an 11.A Packet Pg. 150 approximate cost of $16,000 which could be paid for through recuperated PEG Fees. Channel 17, the current government public access channel, would continue to be programmed by city staff. Once broadcast services are moved in-house, upgrades to equipment can be purchased with the $180,000 annual PEG Fees which would increase reliability of the equipment and allow for the exploration of options for increasing quality and accessibility of government meetings such as high definition streaming and automatic live streaming to City social media accounts. Currently, any necessary equipment upgrades are paid for out of the General Fund. In addition, the cost of re-classification of the Community Engagement Coordinator position would be fully covered by the recuperated Franchise Fees. Discontinuance of the contract with CMAP would most likely result in a lack of programming for cable channels 18, 19, and 20, the public access channels designate for health and wellness, education, and community access. Staff recommends this option. 2. Extend Contract with CMAP: CMAP would continue to operate our public access channels. Funding for possible equipment upgrades would continue to come from the General Fund. This option is not recommended CONCLUSION Based upon staff research and findings, by moving broadcast services in-house and discontinuing our contract with CMAP, improvements to broadcasting infrastructure and services could be provided at no cost to the City and provides a fiscally responsible option for needed upgrades. 11.A Packet Pg. 151
