5. STAFF REPORT - Celeste Coelho-Hudson & Christie Alarcon Celeste reported on the upcoming NOFA process and provided a copy the postcard which was mailed out to all of the agencies which notified them all of the 2011-12 funding cycle timetable.

Program & Project Status Update Celeste reported that the Rancho Hermosa Project had an Informational Meeting and City Council meeting and that the project is moving forward. The conclusion in deciding to move forward was the determination that the City Attorney made regarding Federal and state laws and the fact that the City cannot legislate who occupies the units. Neighbors were primarily concerned about the 12 mental

health units that would be administered by the County Mental Health Department. Christie reported on the progress of the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program: expenditures are over $14,000 and 39 households assisted to date, the majority of which are at or below 30% of area median income.

Christie reported on the Homelessness Prevention & Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP): expenditures exceeding 30% at the one year mark of this three year grant. The City is well on track with our performance and has assisted over 700 individuals.

6. PRESENTATION ON CURRENT COMMUNITY NEEDS AND ISSUES - Celeste Coelho-Hudson & Christie Alarcon Celeste conducted a power point presentation (see attached).

7. OPEN DISCUSSION - Comments and Participation from the Audience and Committee

Jeanette Duncan, Executive Director of Peoples' Self-Help Housing Corporation discussed the need for affordable rental housing. She stated that they have people on their waiting list since 2008 and many do not even apply to be put on the waiting list due to the length of the wait.

Rigoberto Tafoya spoke on the need for more affordable housing like Peoples' Self-Help Housing's Los Adobes de Maria (LADM) development. He stated that he currently pays $950 in monthly rent for a 1-bedroom unit, in which four persons reside. He commented that it is difficult to pay your rent when you are working in agriculture due to the wages earned compared to the cost of rnarket rate housing.

Beatriz Miranda spoke on the need for more affordable housing like Peoples' Self-Help Housing's Los Adobes de Maria development. She currently lives in an apartment where she pays $1,125 monthly for a 1-bedroom unit for her and her family (4-persons). Mrs. Miranda has been on Peoples' waiting list for Los Adobes de Maria for four years now. Chairperson Cudd asked if Mrs. Miranda knew where she was on the waiting list or if there was a way to know. Mrs. Miranda stated that she knows exactly where she is because she checks on a regular basis. Peoples' Self-Help Housing staff explained that they send updates to those persons on the waiting list with regards to where they are at on it.

Jeanette Duncan, Executive Director of Peoples' Self-Help Housing Corporation thanked the City for all of their support with LADMI, LADMII, and the new LADMIII project. She continued to explain that the projects offer on-site CHC health care and the Youth Education Enhancement Program. She stated that she hoped to be considered for additional funding for LADMIII allocated this year, explaining that it takes ongoing funding year to year to get these affordable housing projects to the construction phase. Jeanette also thanked the City for their support of the Youth Education Enhancement Program and four program participants spoke on behalf of the prograrn: Yulissa Mendez, a 3rd grader, said

she participated in the LADM afterschool program everyday and really enjoys it. Vanessa Payan, a 4th grader, has been living at LADM since she was 2 years old. She said she loves the education center and that Cynthia helps her with homework everyday and that she is a good student at Sanchez Elementary School. Maribel Mendoza stated that she has been at LADM for six years. She likes going to the education center and her parents like her going too since it's close to home and they don't have to worry about her safety when she is there. Miriam Tadeo is a LADM resident and Allan Hancock College student. She went to the afterschool program for four years while she attended Santa Maria High School to get help with her homework and stated that she still goes to the afterschool program to get help with her college school work. She stated that LADM is a very good place to live. She has four little brothers and her parents feel safe at the complex to let them play and have fun without worrying. Jeanette Duncan added a thanks to the City for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP).

David Coelho, Client Services Regional Coordinator for Catholic Charities, '--complemenred the City, the Block Grants Advisory Committee, and Special

Projects Division staff for all of their help. David commented that HPRP was what we needed to keep up with the economy. David added that he felt that the funding was not going to last the three years it was allocated for due to the demand. David commented that the City was lacking when it came to coordination in the event of a catastrophic event. Committee Member Litzinger asked what David would see us needing in order to meet that need or be prepared for it. David spoke about the VOAD and working closely with the Red Cross.

Gabriella Castellanos with Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation commented that it has been a pleasure working with the City on HPRP. She stated that there is still a need for foreclosure prevention and education. The statistics are still really high in Santa Maria and 48% of foreclosures have been due to scams. CEDC would like to be able to provide more education to people about the scams. Chairperson Cudd asked if CEDC is located in Santa Barbara. Gabriella replied that they operate out of a local office in the United Way building here in Santa Maria. David Coelho of Catholic Charities added that CEDC has been wonderful in helping many of their clients with financial counseling through the HPRP collaborative.

Sylvia Barnard, Executive Director for Good Samaritan Shelter, thanked the BGAC and the City for the HPRP allocation as well as the CDBG and HOME funding for GSS programs and projects. HPRP has helped many families but due to the economy many of the families they are seeing do not qualify for HPRP because they cannot find jobs and therefore cannot maintain housing. The need for shelter services is increased. The economy is the problem. Even for affordable housing they can't get in because they don't have jobs. She stated that last year GSS received a 25% cut to operations. Here in Santa Maria GSS is dealing with those populations that are most at risk, most of them families with some veterans. GSS has had huge cuts to drug and alcohol funding, so in some cases housing can be provided but they are unable to provide the services to

help the persons suffering get better to sustain their housing. Sylvia reminded everybody that the winter is going to be very tough on the shelter which is already at capacity. When the weather gets worse GSS anticipates trouble, especially since they are working with a skeleton crew. David Coelho asked Sylvia if they have noticed that requests for food assistance have increased. Sylvia responded that a year ago their USDA assistance was about 150 persons per month and is now at 280 prersons per month. David concurred that Catholic Charities has also seen an increase in their requests for food by nearly double. Sylvia reported that the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County has a limited amount of food on the shelves, so the costs are higher for the non-profits.

Alejandra Mahoney of Peoples' Self-Help Housing commented on the HPRP collaboration between the agencies participating in the program and stated that it has been amazing. Alejandra stated that Peoples' is finding that they just don't have enough housing to place the clients in. These clients are teachers, business owners, professionals, and other working class who are asking for assistance. The City really does need more affordable housing.

Kim Barnett of Domestic Violence Solutions for Santa Barbara County reiterated the sentiments of Alejandra Mahoney with regards· to the HPRP Collaboration. She went on to state that DVS has not been able to use the HPRP funding as much due to their clients not having any income or income so low that they can not afford market rate housing. She stated that there is a great need in our community for affordable rental housing. The number of clients in the shelter has declined and staff feels this may be due to the economy with women feeling that they cannot separate from the household because they cannot "afford" to leave. Committee member Litzinger asked how many cases DVS are managing at anyone time. Mrs. Barnett answered that in Santa Maria they have a seven bedroom transitional housing complex where they serve seven women and ten to twenty children.

Nancy Johnson, a counselor with Santa Maria Valley Youth and Family Center, commented on the need for funding for youth in crisis who have suffered a traumatic event and do not have medical insurance or medi-cal to cover the cost of counseling. She stated that the Center sees a lot of children who are without insurance. Without the CDBG funding they would have to turn these children away.

Karen Power of North County Rape Crisis Center thanked the City for their generosity. Mrs. Power's stated that NCRC has been able to do more outreach due to the increased CDBG funding in the past year. She reported that NCRC receives the greatest number of calls in Santa Maria. She stated that she is not sure what accounts for that, but stated that it could possibly be the amount of outreach and awareness they are creating as opposed to a greater number of incidents.

Marie Brinkmeyer, Director of the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), introduced RSVP to the audience and stated that they want to help fill in some of the "blanks" with the agencies. RSVP recruits and places seniors and

retired persons into volunteer service. Many of their senior and retired volunteers help non-profit agencies provide services at lowered costs.

Community Programs Manager Coelho-Hudson gave the staff report. The City Council is requested to conduct the public hearing to receive public comments and consider the Block Grants Advisory Committee's recommendation for the allocation of Fiscal Year 2011-12 CDBG and HOME Investment Partnerships Program estimated funds. Enacted into law in 1974, the Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is the primary Federal program that provides state and local governments with grant funds for local programs and projects to address a variety of complex physical, economic and social needs in the community. The main objective of the program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living

environment, and expanded economic opportunities. The funds may be used at the discretion of the City as long as the activities comply with Federal regulations and meet one of the three national objectives. As an entitlement community, the City of Santa Maria receives a block of funding annually based on a HUD formula that includes such factors as population growth, level of poverty, age of housing, and extent of overcrowding. Since the Federal budget has not yet been adopted, HUD has not determined or announced the final grant amounts for entitlement jurisdictions under either the CDBG or HOME programs for Fiscal Year 2011-12. However, staff has been advised to proceed with the process based on estimated amounts in order to meet HUD's submittal requirements for the City's Annual Action Plan. Based on last year's funding, staff estimates that the City of Santa Maria will receive approximately $1,376,234 in CDBG funding. Of the CDBG grant amount, 20 percent or $275,246 will be available for general administration, 15 percent or $218,887 for public services, and $894,552 will be available for capital projects. It is estimated that $30,000 in program income will be generated during the 2011-12 fiscal year under the City's Residential Rehabilitation Revolving Loan Fund Program and deposited back into the program account for future loans.

The City has participated in the HOME Program as part of a consortium with the County since the program's inception in 1995. For fiscal year 2011-12, staff estimates that the City's portion of the County's HOME Program formula allocation will be $405,000.

The annual allocation process involves the development of an Annual Action Plan. HUD requires submittal of this document for the City to receive CDBG and HOME funding. The City Council apPointed Block Grants Advisory Committee (BGAC) oversees the process that involves both an assessment of the needs in the community, development of funding priorities, review of funding applications, site visits and recommendation of allocations. The BGAC conducted a community needs workshop and adopted priorities. Following a Notice of Funding Availability, staff received 33 applications for public services totaling $592,003; 12 applications for capital development totaling $1,929,479; and 2 applications for affordable housing totaling $700,000.

The BGAC held special meetings on March 14 and 23, 2011, to receive subcommittee reports and to formulate its recommendations to the City Council based on estimated funding. Special emphasis was placed on those programs and projects that prevent homelessness, address basic human necessities and critical emergency needs, assist frail elderly and disabled persons with special needs, provide permanent affordable housing, prevent crime, and expand educational and youth development opportunities.

Mayor Lavagnino opened the public hearing and announced that the Council would take public testimony and consider each of the three program areas separately.

IMPLEMENTATION OF A RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE GREEN WASTE RECYCLING PROGRAM AND PROPOSED SOLID WASTE RATE INCREASES. Director of Utilities Sweet gave the staff report. The City Council is requested to conduct a public hearing, determine if a majority protest eXists, and if no majority protest exists, introduce an ordinance implementing a residential curbside green waste recycling program and a $3.17 per month rate increase beginning July 1, 2011; and approving annual five percent solid waste collection rate increases for residential and commercial customers to become effective each January 1st for 2012,2013, and 2014. For many years, residents have expressed an interest in a curbside green waste recycling program commensurate with service levels in the surrounding jurisdictions of Orcutt and Guadalupe. In addition, new legislation, Senate Bill (SB) 1016, the Solid Waste per Capita Disposal Measurement Act, requires that cities and counties not only meet waste diversion requirements from their landfills, but also implement a number of recycling programs. Santa Maria solid waste service fees have been deferred 9 consecutive years, and 10 years out of the past 11 years. This is due to judicious management of operational costs, and implementation of new cost-saving programs like the Non-Hazardous Hydrocarbon Impacted Soils (NHIS) Program. In order to provide a new solid waste service for curbside green waste recycling, meet new legislation requirements, address escalating solid waste costs, and build a new landfill, staff proposes solid waste fee increases. Residents choosing to downsize their 90-gallon trash container to a 60-gallon container will realize an $0.08 per month decline in their rates upon the implementation of the green waste recycling program.

With the deferral of solid waste rate increases since 2011, a typical residential customer with weekly collections and a 90-gallon trash container and recycling container, has saved $859.44. The cumulative savings for a commercial customer with a three-yard trash and recycling container and collection three times a week is $11,506.20.

The City has experienced increases, and anticipates future increases, in the operations, maintenance, repair and replacement costs for the City's solid waste trash and recycling programs. These include raising fuel costs, material purchases, and new regulatory restrictions. In addition, increased regulations have led to stricter emission limitations on vehicles warranting upgraded exhaust systems and fueling supplements on solid waste fleet vehicles. The City must also generate fiscal resources to build a new landfill. In addition, funding is required to meet regulatory State mandates that require cities and counties to implement programs that divert a specified amount of waste from landfills. In order to provide sufficient fiscal resources for solid waste operations, maintain infrastructure, develop capital to build a new landfill, and meet State requirements, staff proposes a $3.17 per month increase beginning July 1, 2011, to implement a new residential curbside green waste recycling service accompanied by annual five percent fee increases for residential and commercial customers on January 1, 2012, January 1, 2013, and January 1, 2014.

Pursuant to procedures required by Proposition 218, written notice of the proposed increase was mailed to all utility customers in January. The notice included the amount of the proposed rate increases, the basis on which the increases were calculated, reasons for the charge, and the date, time, and place of the public hearing. Ratepayers were given the opportunity to file a written protest against the increase. If a majority

9

MINUTES APRIL 5,2011

protest exists, the increase cannot be implemented. A majority protest consists of 8,750 written protests out of 17,500 total accounts. Only 46 letters of protest were received. Therefore, no majority protest exists.

Mayor Lavagnino opened the public hearing.

Tom Davidson stated he was concerned about the increase because of the hard economic times and asked why the City could not cut spending instead of raising rates. He asked if people with gardeners who hauled away the green waste would have to have a green waste can and pay for a service they would not be using.

Director Sweet explained that they would not have to have a green waste container, but they would be required to pay the $3.17 fee.

Jerry Connor, SBCAN and Sierra Club, stated both of the organizations fully supported the green waste program.

Gale McNeeley, SBCAN, also supported the green waste program and commended the City for the green waste pilot program.

Ernest Armenta asked for clarification on how many people protested the rate increase. He felt communication between the City and the taxpayers broke down.

Chief Deputy City Clerk Perez responded that 46 written protests were received.

Sister Janet Corcoran stated she had been asking the City for a green waste program since 2001. She commended the City for the pilot program which was very successful. She talked about Marian Medical Center's green waste and recycling program.

Hearing no further requests to speak, Mayor Lavagnino closed the public hearing.

Councilmember Cordero asked if there were State mandates that the City do recycling programs like this.

Director Sweet stated there was a mandate that the City divert 50 percent of waste from the landfill. At this point, the City was struggling to meet the 50 percent rate. There was also the possibility that the rate would be increased in the near future to 60 or 75 percent.

Councilmember Cordero stated for 10 of the last 11 years, the City had not raised its solid waste rates while other jurisdictions had raised rates. He asked what services the City provided that other cities did not.

Director Sweet stated the City had a household hazardous waste program and an agricultural plastic recycling program. He indicated that the Utilities Department also provided street sweeping which normally was paid for from street maintenance funds in other cities.

10

MINUTES APRIL 5, 2011

Council member Cordero agreed that this was probably not a good economic time to increase rates, but he would be supporting it. It was everyone's responsibility to recycle as much as possible.

Councilmember Orach stated the City has tried to meet that 50 percent mandate, and it looked like that percentage was going to be increased. The new regional landfill was going to be spectacular, but it would take money to construct it.

Councilmember Patino asked Director Sweet to talk about the questions that came up at the workshops. She said it really bothered her that the City received mandates from the State without any funding to pay for them.

Director Sweet stated he agreed that this was the worst time to impose a rate increase. That was why they wanted to give residents the ability to decrease the size of their trash container which would actually reduce their rates. Most of the questions had already been addressed. Residents would not have to take a green waste container, but they would have to pay the rate increase. One of the questions was regarding the methane generated at the landfill, and that was being diverted to Marian Medical Center.

Councilmember Boysen stated one of the questions he received from residents was about the $60 million in reserves in the Enterprise Fund. He said he spoke with the City Manager and was comfortable that all of that money was allocated for closing the current landfill and constructing the new landfill. He commended the City and the Solid Waste Department for not financing this with debt and for taking a proactive approach.

Mayor Lavagnino stated one of the best things for him was extending the life of the current landfill to 2015.

Ordinance No. 2011-03 authorizing a green waste recycling program and solid waste rate increases was introduced by title only for first reading and continued to the next meeting for second reading and adoption on motion by Councilmember Patino, seconded by Councilmember Orach, and carried on the following vote:
