Okay, I'd like to have that from the record 98 00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:16,860 Thank you 99 00:09:18,340 --> 00:09:19,300 All right 100 00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:31,460 Okay, item 6a, there are a series of ordinances, and I will say I believe these are primarily related to language conflicts and updates to bring them more current. 101 00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:37,300 We don't always update our ordinances every year, and so this is a good opportunity to do so. 102 00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:40,400 There are several that span multiple different topics. 103 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:49,220 My understanding is that there is some language even now, some language corrections within the packet. 104 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:55,880 So what we'll do tonight is discuss these ordinances and then continue them to a date in the future. 105 00:09:56,940 --> 00:09:59,000 Ordinances require two readings. 106 00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:02,040 This doesn't count as the first. 107 00:10:03,820 --> 00:10:06,600 Okay, so would you like to kick us off with item 6a? 108 00:10:07,860 --> 00:10:15,900 Thank you, Mayor and Council, so I'll be presenting six ordinance updates and one new ordinance. 109 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:21,900 These are, I'll speak in general since we're covering so many just to kind of set the table. 110 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:31,080 All of these are a direct result of staff feedback, primarily related to operations that occur within these ordinances. 111 00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:46,520 And they were out of a, you know, a team effort of staff that came together to identify a handful of ordinances that were kind of pinch points for staff and for our community. 112 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,520 So that's the nexus for why these things are being brought forward. 113 00:10:51,060 --> 00:10:58,900 And we will, I'll be presenting each ordinance individually, opportunity for discussion and we will be tabling it so 114 00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:05,340 so that it can be properly formatted for future consideration and adoption under those guidelines. 115 00:11:05,940 --> 00:11:07,360 So we'll get into number one. 116 00:11:07,980 --> 00:11:15,880 Number one addresses municipal code section 5.04370, which is rental dwellings. 117 00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:26,400 It's to amend the Clayton Municipal Code eliminating the business license tax and single family residential dwelling units. 118 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:55,880 One of the things to consider in this is that the council can also consider, although it's not written here but it can be amended to modify the ordinance so that if should the council choose to remove residential dwelling units as a fee for the business license that it can be added by a future council by the movement of the council rather than going through an elective voting process. 119 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,160 by the public. So that's something to consider as you review this. 120 00:12:01,580 --> 00:12:10,620 So the primary motivation for this is in context of the city's desire for affordable housing. 121 00:12:11,260 --> 00:12:18,960 And to eliminate really which is a minimal fee that the city has been collecting which amounts 122 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:25,700 It sounds to roughly $1,200 a year speaking with staff and doing some research. 123 00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:40,720 It does not appear that the intent of this was to essentially tax individual homeowners that may have a rental or an ADU that would be providing these living accommodations to our residents, but it's kind of evolved into that. 124 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:49,160 And so, staff believes that it's in the best interest of the city to eliminate that aspect of the code. 125 00:12:49,940 --> 00:13:00,680 By eliminating last year, as an example, 1285 was the revenue that was collected through individual residents' taxation through the business license process. 126 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,740 Is there any questions? 127 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,340 Or- 128 00:13:09,060 --> 00:13:10,420 questions for staff. 129 00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:18,700 So we had ten of these about seven. Seven. The juice is not worth 130 00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:25,800 the squeeze. Mayor, did you want to open the public hearing? They were listed each individually 131 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,260 so I didn't know how you wanted to handle public comment and opening the public. 132 00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:34,020 I would do public comment individually for each item so open each public hearing. 133 00:13:34,020 --> 00:13:38,640 Public hearing and then take public comment and then continue to September 1st. 134 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:47,360 Okay, great. All right, so let's open the public hearing there were no questions for staff public comment on this item this ordinance 135 00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:49,280 proposal, I guess 136 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,040 Do you have any? 137 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,480 Okay, no public comment online. So I guess I'll close 138 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,980 public comment and bring it back. Does anyone have any discussion on this item? 139 00:14:00,980 --> 00:14:11,010 Okay, then we can go ahead and continue the public hearing until September 1st, which 140 00:14:11,010 --> 00:14:12,130 will be our next meeting. 141 00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:18,070 And to just get clarification, did you want us to, as the chief mentioned, if you 142 00:14:18,070 --> 00:14:25,370 delete the $127 for single family, if a future council wants to somehow bring that back, 143 00:14:25,710 --> 00:14:29,030 it would have to go to the ballot because of Prop 218. 144 00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:36,270 So, if you want to retain that flexibility, we could add language for future council members 145 00:14:36,270 --> 00:14:42,870 to bring back the 127 fee. If you don't care because it is a nominal amount that has 146 00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:45,970 been collected, then we can just continue as written. 147 00:14:46,370 --> 00:14:50,130 It's precisely 127 that the option to bring back no more no less. 148 00:14:50,730 --> 00:14:55,290 In theory, you could bring back less, but you couldn't bring back more than 127. 149 00:14:55,290 --> 00:14:59,650 Okay, is there a preference on the council for this? 150 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:30,950 I would just as soon. Let it go, but all right, no, thank you. Okay, thank you. Okay, so that we have continued item 6A to September 1st. We would open the public hearing for item 6B, and I will turn it back over to the chief. Thank you, Mayor. So this report deals with. Code section 718-06. 151 00:15:30,950 --> 00:15:39,790 six, zero which is alarm systems, it's amending the municipal code to clarify the fee schedule applicable to excessive false alarms. 152 00:15:40,530 --> 00:15:52,670 This recommendation is to clarify language that was confusing to staff, essentially directing staff that any late fee would be set at $50. 153 00:15:53,270 --> 00:16:00,650 However, that's in conflict with existing language within the municipal code that shows that there's an escalation of fees based on 154 00:16:00,650 --> 00:16:08,630 number of violations. So this clarification of language in 9.18.060 enforcement, subsection 155 00:16:08,630 --> 00:16:15,870 B, simply eliminates that reference to the $50 and references the above paragraph which 156 00:16:15,870 --> 00:16:23,350 actually shares the appropriate level of fees that would be ascribed to a late fee. It does 157 00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:35,830 It does not remove any grace so that that language still exists as you can see in Section B3 during any 30-day period or no more than 4 any year. 158 00:16:36,190 --> 00:16:40,250 Once that threshold is passed, then the late fee would take effect. 159 00:16:41,030 --> 00:16:48,150 This amendment to the ordinance does not change any of that, just simply to reference the appropriate escalation of fees. 160 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,600 Questions for staff? 161 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,160 Yes, I have, I used to be the state regulator over this industry. 162 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,460 And this was the number one issue throughout the state of California. 163 00:17:05,140 --> 00:17:08,500 What, how many freebies do they get in the way? 164 00:17:08,580 --> 00:17:14,020 How many initial false alarm before the fees kick in for responding? 165 00:17:14,460 --> 00:17:15,560 Yes, no good question. 166 00:17:15,820 --> 00:17:22,380 So it's three in a 30 day period or three in a 30 day period or four in a 12 month period. 167 00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:27,100 And what sort of experience do we have here in Clayton? 168 00:17:27,420 --> 00:17:33,020 I know we were at downtown here a couple of weeks ago, when the wind was really blowing, 169 00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:39,020 and there was a false alarm at the Clayton Club, and officers responded. 170 00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:44,920 And so I just wanted with the historical number we have on a monthly basis, 171 00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:46,640 if that's a reasonable. 172 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:52,960 It really impacts just a couple of year, primarily businesses. 173 00:17:53,660 --> 00:18:00,560 I'm not familiar with any individual residential impacts, but it's primarily businesses that this would impact. 174 00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:06,660 And we only, I think, assess only the penalty fee on a couple of businesses a year. 175 00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:08,180 It's not a large number. 176 00:18:08,940 --> 00:18:09,240 Thank you. 177 00:18:12,910 --> 00:18:18,170 Thank you, the only other question that I had is, is this calendar year, fiscal year, 12-month period? 178 00:18:18,170 --> 00:18:28,230 And the reason why I'm asking is it reads second or third violation within one year from what period from the first violation. 179 00:18:28,990 --> 00:18:32,390 And then 12 months from there, I'm just trying to figure out when the clock starts. 180 00:18:33,150 --> 00:18:37,790 Yeah, so the way we've applied it from what I understand is on the calendar year. 181 00:18:38,190 --> 00:18:39,230 Okay, wait, really? 182 00:18:39,570 --> 00:18:40,910 That's not what the ordinance says. 183 00:18:41,910 --> 00:18:45,370 So item V, so item A is I would say. 184 00:18:48,410 --> 00:19:01,330 It can be read multiple ways, but in context of item B, item B is, it says verbatim in a 30-day period and then no more than four in a 12-month period. 185 00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:05,750 And that to me is pretty explicit for a rolling period. 186 00:19:06,430 --> 00:19:14,450 So I would take item B and A in conjunction and say that the year, because it does not rule out a rolling period in item A. 187 00:19:14,450 --> 00:19:17,010 I would contribute them both to be a rolling period, 188 00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:18,450 to be consistent within the reading. 189 00:19:19,470 --> 00:19:20,690 That's how I would read it. 190 00:19:21,390 --> 00:19:23,030 Yeah, no, I understand that. 191 00:19:23,270 --> 00:19:25,890 I was referencing what the way I believe it had been 192 00:19:26,610 --> 00:19:27,570 historically applied. 193 00:19:28,570 --> 00:19:33,290 Yeah, and I have no issue with that level of accounting. 194 00:19:34,550 --> 00:19:37,450 And we should change the language to reference 195 00:19:37,450 --> 00:19:40,870 a 12-month period everywhere it says year in both A and B, 196 00:19:40,990 --> 00:19:42,250 if we want to have consistency. 197 00:19:42,250 --> 00:19:48,850 Yeah, I mean, I don't think they're right now in conflict and the rule of statute of construction would say that you would read it so they don't conflict, but 198 00:19:49,690 --> 00:19:55,710 Do we could be more explicit to make it more clear in item A? I think item B is fine 199 00:19:57,170 --> 00:20:02,310 And I think it just needs to be clear to if it's primarily businesses when their clock starts 200 00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:07,770 Yeah, and who's I mean so that they can keep track of it themselves, right?

Questions for staff? 345 00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:10,930 All right. I did have one question. This language does seem fairly prescriptive. 346 00:29:11,190 --> 00:29:13,510 Like we're describing certain specific things. 347 00:29:15,110 --> 00:29:19,670 Would it be more efficient to be more general so that we're not technology tied in the ordinance? 348 00:29:19,670 --> 00:29:26,870 And the whole point of this, I believe, is personal sound stuff, personal speakers, 349 00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:31,130 for personal use that don't travel more than 10 feet is what we're trying to exempt. 350 00:29:32,670 --> 00:29:40,850 Whether it's Bluetooth or any other new emerging technology, I think if we're broad, I think 351 00:29:40,850 --> 00:29:41,750 we capture the intent. 352 00:29:42,310 --> 00:29:44,430 It does say similar devices. 353 00:29:44,430 --> 00:29:47,930 I know, but it also says all like portable radios and tape players 354 00:29:49,770 --> 00:29:52,970 So it's fine. It's not wrong. You might want to go old school. You never know 355 00:29:53,650 --> 00:29:55,270 But if you if we say something like 356 00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:59,310 Personal equipment that does not travel more than 10 feet 357 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,860 You've pretty much covered all new technology and you never have to do this again. So just a thought. Is that, are we open to that? 358 00:30:12,870 --> 00:30:18,650 Just trying to save the next 20 years. There will be a new technology theoretically so. 359 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:35,700 Okay, no problem. I can, I can simplify the. No problem. All right. No other questions. I will open public comment.

The other is the broad characterization 406 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:20,260 of vegetation, specifically trees. As we all know, a tree can be this big around or 407 00:33:20,260 --> 00:33:29,320 it can be this big around. And so this language addresses whether it materially obstructs 408 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:35,080 those sight lines. In other words, is it properly maintained? Is there a sight line that can 409 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:43,340 be seen through another way of looking at this is a bus stop pole is about the size, you 410 00:33:43,340 --> 00:33:44,800 know, two inches or two and a half inches. 411 00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:49,460 Are we talking about a tree that's the exact 412 00:33:49,460 --> 00:33:56,540 same size and considering that being an obstruction when a bus stop pole is no more obstruction than 413 00:33:56,540 --> 00:34:06,820 in that. So it allows for reasonableness to assess the sight lines and it changes the designation for 414 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:15,580 evaluating these from city engineer to the city manager and or their designate. So really the people that are on the ground that are 415 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:22,580 doing the work as far as evaluating things, working with the public, whether it's public work staff, public works director, 416 00:34:22,580 --> 00:34:35,180 or myself or our other staff member can make an accurate assessment without having to engage the services of a city engineer of which we do not have, so it's a contract service, so also to provide some cost savings there. 417 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:47,940 Specifically, it's in section 1208010, the removal of trees, and I'll get later in the section where we add that back in. 418 00:34:47,940 --> 00:35:07,720 and the adding in of pedestrian as far as the evaluation criteria, and the adding of language that says trees may be maintained within the required visibility triangle provided that tree trunks, branches and foliage are maintained so not to obstruct visibility for vehicles and pedestrians approaching the intersection. 419 00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:19,880 Section 12-08020 adds the ability to be determined by the city manager or designee as not materially 420 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,420 obstructing visibility. 421 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:30,680 And then under 120-030 under notice to remove right to appeal, again, it designates the 422 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,120 city manager or designee. 423 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:40,660 And then under 1208-040, it again references city manager designee, puts in the appropriate 424 00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:44,700 reference section, and removes city engineer. 425 00:35:48,530 --> 00:35:48,850 Thank you. 426 00:35:48,990 --> 00:35:49,270 All right. 427 00:35:49,670 --> 00:35:50,810 Questions for staff? 428 00:35:51,610 --> 00:35:52,490 Yes, I do. 429 00:35:52,610 --> 00:35:52,970 Thank you. 430 00:35:54,470 --> 00:35:59,970 Today, when I met with the city manager, we discussed the specific intersections of center 431 00:35:59,970 --> 00:36:09,110 March Creek, and Main Street and going across from the Grove Park to the Corral. 432 00:36:09,650 --> 00:36:11,850 How does this affect that?

Yes mayor one 470 00:38:26,690 --> 00:38:27,030 Okay. 471 00:38:27,250 --> 00:38:28,430 Motion carries 5-0. 472 00:38:29,070 --> 00:38:29,390 All right. 473 00:38:29,950 --> 00:38:32,290 We are moving on to item 6-F. 474 00:38:32,630 --> 00:38:37,210 I will open the public hearing and turn it over to our chief. 475 00:38:38,050 --> 00:38:38,530 Thank you, Mayor. 476 00:38:39,710 --> 00:38:48,070 Six-F is creating a new municipal, Clayton Municipal Code, Chapter 17.70, special event permits 477 00:38:48,070 --> 00:38:54,310 to establish a permit process for events requiring closure of a public right away or diversion of 478 00:38:54,310 --> 00:39:03,650 traffic distinct from administrative temporary use permits under chapter 16 points, 17.69, excuse me. 479 00:39:05,410 --> 00:39:08,550 So this creates an entirely new chapter in our municipal code. 480 00:39:09,230 --> 00:39:20,390 It is modeled off temporary use permits, but it is to allow staff to separately and independently address these types of events. 481 00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:30,130 Special events, as proposed by this ordinance, would be any event that requires the closure of the street or change of right away. 482 00:39:30,850 --> 00:39:50,170 For example, October Fest, a parade, those kind of things where additional planning is required specifically by part of the police department and public works to arrange to make those logistical arrangements and requires a different approach to safety and security for those types of events. 483 00:39:50,170 --> 00:39:55,590 This allows staff that have to process these applications. 484 00:39:55,590 --> 00:40:01,730 One is to have separate applications, so we have a much more streamlined process. 485 00:40:02,010 --> 00:40:05,750 Currently, the existing application process like covers everything. 486 00:40:06,310 --> 00:40:08,470 And so that's difficult for the public. 487 00:40:08,810 --> 00:40:13,610 They don't know what part do I need to fill out, what part I need to create a lot of confusion. 488 00:40:13,610 --> 00:40:29,290 that confusion then rolls downhill to staff who then need to help the community navigate that and then it creates just additional paperwork that we're all having to navigate and making sure that we have the appropriate things checked off and fulfilled. 489 00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:32,770 This simplifies that by adding this ordinance. 490 00:40:37,850 --> 00:40:43,390 Specifically, and it also adds a violation section, which is incredibly important. 491 00:40:43,390 --> 00:40:54,250 It's consistent with the rest of our municipal code where we require permits to undertake certain type of events or buildings or projects. 492 00:40:55,450 --> 00:41:10,270 Currently, this section does not have a penalty section, this adds in that section, and specifically with special events when we're talking about closure of roadways and diversion of right of way. 493 00:41:10,270 --> 00:41:20,730 If there's a violation on the part of the event organizer, that could lead to significant safety risks to the public. 494 00:41:21,110 --> 00:41:28,030 And this allows the city to have some remediation to that and enforceability of that with some teeth to it. 495 00:41:30,470 --> 00:41:33,450 The sections, I won't read the entire ordinance. 496 00:41:33,450 --> 00:41:41,250 However, it does cover the purpose, which I've delineated there for the anything that 497 00:41:41,250 --> 00:41:43,250 affects the traffic or right away. 498 00:41:43,910 --> 00:41:50,450 It does specify the type of events that would fall under the special event permit, 499 00:41:50,810 --> 00:41:54,290 and it makes provisions for violations. 500 00:41:55,290 --> 00:41:57,050 And I'm open for questions. 501 00:41:59,010 --> 00:42:00,450 Questions for staff? 502 00:42:00,450 --> 00:42:02,490 I just had one question, Chief. 503 00:42:02,910 --> 00:42:06,950 So there is no fiscal impact by changing this. 504 00:42:07,410 --> 00:42:09,150 Correct, we're not changing a fee structure. 505 00:42:09,450 --> 00:42:09,850 We're not- 506 00:42:09,850 --> 00:42:10,110 Okay. 507 00:42:10,370 --> 00:42:12,890 Yep, it aligns with what currently is in place. 508 00:42:13,150 --> 00:42:16,290 It just allows us to bifurcate the two types of events. 509 00:42:16,570 --> 00:42:17,410 Got it, thank you. 510 00:42:19,230 --> 00:42:20,250 Other questions? 511 00:42:20,890 --> 00:42:25,730 The only other question that I had is the timeline for it. 512 00:42:25,730 --> 00:42:30,310 So do these permits also have to be done 45 days ahead of the event? 513 00:42:31,210 --> 00:42:36,990 Yes, okay the same same timelines would would be involved okay. I didn't see it in this one 514 00:42:36,990 --> 00:42:41,170 I saw it in the temporary use one, but it's not in this one unless I'm missing it. 515 00:42:42,130 --> 00:42:44,770 I can go back and and confirm 516 00:42:45,350 --> 00:42:46,890 because I believe that there's 517 00:42:47,410 --> 00:42:52,230 previous chapters that specify timelines, but I can confirm that okay. Thank you. 518 00:42:52,690 --> 00:42:57,350 Is that timeline no later than, is it also in no earlier than? 519 00:42:58,010 --> 00:43:03,870 I would have to pull up the exact language if you can give me a minute, I can take a look at it, but it basically provides a guideline for staff. 520 00:43:04,170 --> 00:43:06,530 So we can provide exceptions to that. 521 00:43:07,150 --> 00:43:21,450 If it's an event that we're familiar with or doesn't require a heavy lift, we can work with the public and I think that's the spirit of what we engage with the community in, but we ask for 45 days so that everybody has an opportunity to review this properly. 522 00:43:21,450 --> 00:43:24,070 And then the only other question I had are examples of violations. 523 00:43:25,630 --> 00:43:26,110 I'm sorry. 524 00:43:26,470 --> 00:43:27,430 Violation examples? 525 00:43:27,930 --> 00:43:29,810 Can you give us some violation examples? 526 00:43:30,090 --> 00:43:30,210 Yes. 527 00:43:30,790 --> 00:43:37,870 For example, if under a special event permit, the event organizers required to have security and they don't. 528 00:43:38,290 --> 00:43:40,550 Or the security does not fulfill their responsibilities. 529 00:43:41,050 --> 00:43:47,850 Or if they're to provide volunteers at a particular location that deals with the event and 530 00:43:47,850 --> 00:43:52,430 And they're not there and that causes some issue, either additional work by staff, 531 00:43:52,970 --> 00:43:58,010 law enforcement, or causes some type of incident we now have the ability to enforce that. 532 00:43:58,370 --> 00:43:59,170 Thank you. 533 00:43:59,890 --> 00:44:10,050 And this, what Councilmember Chabiano is asking, is it consistent with the language in all of our other fee schedules so that they don't conflict? 534 00:44:11,490 --> 00:44:22,830 Yes, so this would be consistent with our temporary use permit and other, other similar type permitting processes that have a penalty clause. 535 00:44:23,490 --> 00:44:29,890 So the language was taken out of our existing ordinance to put in here, or existing municipal code, excuse me. 536 00:44:31,900 --> 00:44:33,020 Okay, sounds good. 537 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,760 Any other questions or staff? 538 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:42,440 All right. Public comment on this item 6F. 539 00:44:45,940 --> 00:44:48,200 Look at this. It's the first question. 540 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:59,280 You have three minutes. Thank you. So reading over this. 541 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,520 I have some concerns regarding residents' first amendment right to assembly. This ordinance would include, let's see here, it's kind of small on my phone. Any other organized assembly of persons that assembles or travels in unison for any purpose upon any city sidewalk. So, would that mean that a small gathering of individuals 542 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:35,960 individuals who are protesting, let's say on the sidewalk in front of the Grove Park 543 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,100 would be in violation of this if they did not receive a permit. 544 00:45:40,620 --> 00:45:44,200 Does that mean that how many individuals would that include? 545 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:49,260 Is there a minimum number, would that mean that three individuals who decided to get together 546 00:45:49,260 --> 00:45:55,580 and go for a walk and happen to be discussing something political or something religious could 547 00:45:55,580 --> 00:46:00,860 would be in violation of this, if they didn't obtain a permit, if they were, let's say, 548 00:46:00,980 --> 00:46:06,960 walking slowly, three abreast across the sidewalk and impeding individuals from being able 549 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,840 to walk in the sidewalk. 550 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:18,380 It's just the specificity combined with the vagueness of this makes me concerned that, although 551 00:46:18,380 --> 00:46:24,700 the spirit of the ordinance might be interpreted one way, that later individuals or other police 552 00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:30,020 These chiefs or council members might be able to interpret this in a different way that 553 00:46:30,020 --> 00:46:33,980 inhibits people's right to free speech or free assembly. 554 00:46:37,380 --> 00:46:43,780 I'm hoping that on September 1st, I have a more organized thing to say, but that's just 555 00:46:43,780 --> 00:46:44,620 my initial thoughts. 556 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:45,300 Thank you. 557 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:53,300 I would have one comment, but I will turn it over if, well, actually, no, that's not what 558 00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:53,780 I'm supposed to do. 559 00:46:53,780 --> 00:46:55,980 Is there any other public comment on this item? 560 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,800 Any public comment online? 561 00:47:04,350 --> 00:47:05,170 I jumped again. 562 00:47:06,730 --> 00:47:07,450 None. 563 00:47:08,090 --> 00:47:11,650 Okay, no additional public comment. 564 00:47:11,650 --> 00:47:14,610 Then I will close public comment on 6F. 565 00:47:15,790 --> 00:47:18,370 Would we like to discuss anything additional 566 00:47:18,370 --> 00:47:20,930 relating to this proposed ordinance? 567 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:28,380 I would like to highlight one of the line items here. 568 00:47:28,380 --> 00:47:39,040 And it is the detail of what events require a special event permit that would cause this. 569 00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:47,940 Under item 17.7.0.0 to I as in Iceland, I guess. 570 00:47:50,220 --> 00:47:56,580 What it talks about, the thing that gives me comfort here because I'm a big first amendment 571 00:47:56,580 --> 00:47:57,000 person. 572 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,960 So I would be really aghast if we were impeding that. 573 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:08,680 But what it does do is it talks about the conditions by which these may be required and 574 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:16,240 it lists them and they involve the closure or impeding of the public right of way. 575 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:23,280 And so if an activity does not require a closure of the public right of way, if it does not 576 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:41,360 not require a diversion of traffic, if it is consistent with the normal or usual traffic controls and it is not likely to impede or obstruct or impair interfere with the free use of a public right of way, then this would not apply. 577 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:50,300 So I think what we're really talking about is if you're blocking people from using the right of way, 578 00:48:50,300 --> 00:49:00,220 then it is appropriate to involve staff to say, hey, let's allow you to do that in a way that is consistent with public safety. 579 00:49:01,060 --> 00:49:03,480 I think that's the intent, and that's how, that is my rating, 580 00:49:06,650 --> 00:49:10,990 and we can talk about this again after we continue the ordinance. 581 00:49:11,330 --> 00:49:17,610 So, if there's no other discussion, if the chief would like to make any comment, you're welcome, but you're not required. 582 00:49:18,890 --> 00:49:23,450 My comment would be very consistent with that, and I appreciate the concern being raised. 583 00:49:23,590 --> 00:49:24,930 We want to be very sensitive to that. 584 00:49:25,090 --> 00:49:37,910 It's something that is paramount to protecting the liberties and rights of our community regardless of someone's perspective or what they want to say, and the police department fully supports that. 585 00:49:39,330 --> 00:49:47,830 And what was mentioned here is exactly that, that if it's essentially not using technical term, 586 00:49:47,910 --> 00:49:52,190 but if it spills into the right of way where it causes issues for traffic or travel, 587 00:49:52,530 --> 00:49:58,350 or what would otherwise be an area of conveyance, then that's where that we would need, 588 00:49:58,470 --> 00:50:01,670 we would want to be involved and we would want the ordinance to support that, 589 00:50:01,950 --> 00:50:05,090 so that the appropriate safety measures could be put in place. 590 00:50:05,090 --> 00:50:10,870 But somebody using the sidewalk to demonstrate or express their opinion would not fall 591 00:50:10,870 --> 00:50:14,750 under that, under this, unless it had exceeded that capacity. 592 00:50:14,750 --> 00:50:18,450 It exceeded what capacity? 593 00:50:19,050 --> 00:50:25,170 In other words, it obstructed the roadway, obstructed the right of way. 594 00:50:25,770 --> 00:50:27,690 As the ordinance lays out. 595 00:50:27,950 --> 00:50:31,810 So, then, to, if Mr. Flores, okay, thank you. 596 00:50:32,030 --> 00:50:32,950 I don't want to claim a gate. 597 00:50:33,430 --> 00:50:37,830 So, to his example, if there are people who are protesting and they're walking 598 00:50:37,830 --> 00:50:39,330 in the street, this would apply to them. 599 00:50:39,750 --> 00:50:39,850 Correct. 600 00:50:40,190 --> 00:50:40,290 Okay. 601 00:50:42,290 --> 00:50:43,690 Not allowed to block the street. 602 00:50:44,470 --> 00:50:50,110 but they could plan in advance and get a special permit and then block the street. 603 00:50:50,150 --> 00:50:51,190 Okay. Correct. Yes. 604 00:50:55,570 --> 00:51:01,350 Sorry. All right. We've already done public comment. So looking for a motion 605 00:51:01,350 --> 00:51:04,590 of continuance for item 6F.

660 00:54:51,090 --> 00:54:51,250 Aye. 661 00:54:51,470 --> 00:54:52,570 Motion carries 5-0. 662 00:54:53,270 --> 00:54:53,790 Okay. 663 00:54:54,130 --> 00:54:59,270 That concludes the parade of

00:55:07,170 --> 00:55:08,510 We were continuing, okay. 668 00:55:08,930 --> 00:55:19,570 All right, so item 7a is resolution for a revised city standard street name signs. 669 00:55:20,110 --> 00:55:21,650 Would you like to kick us off? 670 00:55:21,850 --> 00:55:22,710 I will kick it off. 671 00:55:23,330 --> 00:55:31,630 So, if you remember a few months ago, our police department helped us identify a number of maintenance issues that needed to be taken care of. 672 00:55:32,850 --> 00:55:41,110 crosswalks, missing signs, the bot stots in front of fire plugs, a litany of different 673 00:55:41,110 --> 00:55:41,350 things. 674 00:55:41,570 --> 00:55:43,610 One of the items was missing street signs. 675 00:55:44,510 --> 00:55:50,110 And so we discussed that evening briefly about landing on a permanent design and style 676 00:55:50,110 --> 00:55:52,910 of street sign before we started ordering them. 677 00:55:53,630 --> 00:56:00,010 So Craig, our public works director, has been working with a company and he's brought 678 00:56:00,010 --> 00:56:04,750 We've got some examples to share with you and hopefully this evening we can land on a design. 679 00:56:05,350 --> 00:56:14,650 If we can, then we will move forward with all the faded, broken stolen street signs and get those ordered and re-installed. 680 00:56:14,970 --> 00:56:16,570 So I'll turn it over to Mr. Blythe. 681 00:56:21,910 --> 00:56:23,350 Good evening, Mayor and Council. 682 00:56:23,990 --> 00:56:25,690 I'm Craig Blythe, Director of Public Works. 683 00:56:26,050 --> 00:56:31,930 The item before you tonight is a proposed update to the city's standard plan S-TAC 1-8 for street name signs. 684 00:56:31,930 --> 00:56:37,810 And before getting into the specific changes, I wanted to provide a little context about 685 00:56:37,810 --> 00:56:40,450 this standard and why we have it. 686 00:56:41,250 --> 00:56:45,930 Street name signs are considered official traffic control devices because drivers rely 687 00:56:45,930 --> 00:56:49,590 on traffic signs to communicate information quickly and consistently. 688 00:56:50,290 --> 00:56:59,030 There is a regulatory framework governing how these signs are designed and installed. 689 00:56:59,030 --> 00:57:04,230 At the federal level, the federal highway administration publishes the manual on uniform 690 00:57:04,230 --> 00:57:08,870 traffic control devices commonly referred to as the MUTCD. 691 00:57:10,190 --> 00:57:15,610 The purpose of this document or standard is uniformity, whether someone is driving 692 00:57:15,610 --> 00:57:21,650 in Clayton or another community, traffic control devices are recognizable, legible, and can 693 00:57:21,650 --> 00:57:23,950 communicate information in a consistent way. 694 00:57:23,950 --> 00:57:30,470 In California, CalTrans implements the MUTCD and calls it California and UTCD. 695 00:57:33,270 --> 00:57:39,730 And this document that CalTrans implemented became effective in January of this year, so January 2026. 696 00:57:40,790 --> 00:57:55,350 The city's current street name sign standard dates back to 2008, and like the city manager said earlier this year, city staff completed a traffic sign maintenance review and identified a number of faded missing or 697 00:57:55,350 --> 00:57:57,470 or otherwise deficient signs throughout the city. 698 00:57:58,230 --> 00:58:00,390 As we begin preparing to replace those signs, 699 00:58:00,650 --> 00:58:03,310 staff reviewed existing street name sign standards 700 00:58:03,310 --> 00:58:06,670 again against our current traffic control requirements. 701 00:58:07,450 --> 00:58:09,790 What is proposed is not a wholesale change 702 00:58:09,790 --> 00:58:11,550 to the appearance of Clayton signs. 703 00:58:12,170 --> 00:58:14,910 We are keeping the recognizable brown background 704 00:58:14,910 --> 00:58:17,530 and white lettering while modernizing 705 00:58:17,530 --> 00:58:19,250 the materials lettering and fabrication. 706 00:58:20,410 --> 00:58:24,070 The biggest change is moving from an unreflective brown background 707 00:58:24,070 --> 00:58:27,430 to a retro-reflective brown background and white lettering. 708 00:58:29,270 --> 00:58:33,150 This will significantly improve visibility at night and during low light conditions. 709 00:58:33,510 --> 00:58:39,050 In addition to helping motorists and pedestrians, better traffic identification can assist police, 710 00:58:39,750 --> 00:58:44,270 fire, EMS, and other public safety personnel when responding to emergencies. 711 00:58:46,450 --> 00:58:53,590 We're also proposing to replace the existing PT Barnum style lettering with the FHWA standard alphabet. 712 00:58:53,590 --> 00:58:58,510 and use the proper upper and lower case lettering consistent with current standards. 713 00:58:59,230 --> 00:59:04,090 The revised standard gives public work some flexibility to select the appropriate lettering 714 00:59:04,090 --> 00:59:09,810 size alphabet series and sign dimensions based on the roadway, the speed, the street, 715 00:59:10,090 --> 00:59:12,450 and applicable MUTCD requirements. 716 00:59:13,630 --> 00:59:20,550 Finally, we're proposing to eliminate the existing rustic jagged edge treatment and move to a conventional 717 00:59:20,550 --> 00:59:21,770 smooth edge design. 718 00:59:21,770 --> 00:59:26,910 The rustic edge is primarily ornamental and adds a fabrication cost. 719 00:59:27,430 --> 00:59:34,290 Based on current pricing, moving to the smooth edge design is expected to reduce the fabrication cost by 33% each sign. 720 00:59:36,270 --> 00:59:49,690 If approved, the 13th street name sign locations identified during our May Maintenance review would be the first locations replace under the new standard representing approximately 26 street name signs. 721 00:59:51,030 --> 00:59:57,070 Existing signs that are still in good condition would remain in place and would not be replaced simply because a standard is changing. 722 00:59:58,150 --> 00:59:59,970 Funding for this work is already included 723 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:27,940 In the adopted budget, and no additional appropriation is required. Staff recommends that the city council adopt resolution number 35, 20, 26, approving the revised standard plan S-18. Let's see, into my presentation, but here are some examples. We'll start with the old. You can see jagged edge. What the heck? Not reflective. Hard to see it now. We have a, we have a number of these throughout the city. 724 01:00:29,300 --> 01:00:31,640 And put on your sunglasses for this one. 725 01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:37,100 This is the new reflective brown reflective white with a border. 726 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:37,500 Shining. 727 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:43,540 So a lot easier to read, especially for our emergency personnel in responding to any emergencies. 728 01:00:44,100 --> 01:00:46,720 This isn't the sign that's going to go on every street corner. 729 01:00:46,820 --> 01:00:50,060 This is an example of what a compliant sign looks like. 730 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:57,180 So as the road, the speed of a street is lower, letters can be smaller. 731 01:00:57,180 --> 01:01:05,760 As the speed of the road is faster than letters can be letters should be larger as cars are passing at a faster speed and need more time to see it 732 01:01:08,260 --> 01:01:11,320 So I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have 733 01:01:13,100 --> 01:01:14,360 Questions for staff 734 01:01:15,780 --> 01:01:24,590 The only one that perplexes me. How did it get the name PT Barnum is that mean is there is this going to be some sort of a circus? 735 01:01:24,590 --> 01:01:25,490 There are what 736 01:01:26,930 --> 01:01:29,330 I'm not sure that's within the scope of our discussion 737 01:01:29,330 --> 01:01:39,730 Well, it's referenced in the report that was the that was the font referenced in the city standard approved by council in 2008 better than windings 738 01:01:42,470 --> 01:01:49,310 This is an exactness I get right. It's an example of the new recommended standard sign 739 01:01:49,310 --> 01:01:53,150 What what is the name of that font? It's called highway gothic 740 01:01:53,810 --> 01:01:58,030 And it's a standard and it's a standard font used across the state 741 01:01:58,030 --> 01:02:05,530 no no fans of hellbedica here. Sorry now this is really nice. Craig I do have a 742 01:02:05,530 --> 01:02:12,130 question for you so particularly in the downtown I noticed signs like that 743 01:02:12,130 --> 01:02:17,910 are directional for the Clayton Historical Museum or so I don't see those on 744 01:02:17,910 --> 01:02:28,010 the list are those the brown and you know I love 3-1-1 or see click fix can I 745 01:02:28,010 --> 01:02:37,030 I'd take pictures and then upload it there, or would you prefer a list of other directional signs in the downtanks? 746 01:02:37,170 --> 01:02:39,490 I noticed some of those are really faded and- 747 01:02:41,790 --> 01:02:45,450 I think it would be better to send it through the workflow so they can handle it within a little. 748 01:02:46,230 --> 01:02:50,930 So the first step in this was engaging council and approving the new standard. 749 01:02:51,150 --> 01:02:56,210 Now that if we approve the standard, then we can take meaningful steps to start replacing 750 01:02:56,210 --> 01:03:02,050 seen replacing faded signs that the first focus would be the traffic study performed in May. 751 01:03:02,590 --> 01:03:11,370 That's going to be the first batch I would say to replace so we can close that out for council and make some progress towards sign replacement. 752 01:03:13,380 --> 01:03:26,960 I just wanted to say it looks great, it's a long time coming and speaking of public safety, it will really help the ambulance service who sometimes takes 35 minutes to come to Clayton. 753 01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:33,740 Because there's not enough of them in our county and they come from other areas and they look at those street signs 754 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:38,140 Even though they're supposed to be they have a map, but they don't have the time. They're in a hurry 755 01:03:38,140 --> 01:03:43,220 That's gonna be really nice and the same for our fire station.

First and foremost, as you're all aware, a few years ago, we made a switch 809 01:07:05,540 --> 01:07:09,740 to HDL to be our business license vendor. 810 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:18,460 We have had some complications. I know personally 811 01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:27,720 Councilmember Diaz had some struggles with HDL. I worked with a few business folks, you 812 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:42,380 We do as well, Mayor One, when council member Trupiano was there, she and I worked with a handful of businesses that could not accomplish just getting their business license renewed. 813 01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:43,720 There were some struggles. 814 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:53,580 We've had numerous people on the third floor, and let's just say we're not happy with HDL and the service and the answers that they were providing. 815 01:07:53,580 --> 01:08:00,420 It occupied a lot of time from our community development technician, our admin services director and myself. 816 01:08:00,940 --> 01:08:04,120 It has not been a good program. 817 01:08:04,820 --> 01:08:10,280 So we have given HDL notice that we are going to exit that contract. 818 01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:18,600 And the item this evening is a reclassification of the community development technician to a community development specialist. 819 01:08:19,420 --> 01:08:46,440 Essentially, those duties at HDL was performing will be absorbed into the city operation as it once was prior to engaging HDL, so that if people need help, they need assistance, they can come to city hall, the community development specialists will work with them, assist them, get them what they need, they have questions, we can answer those questions and just facilitate a much better customer experience and provide folks what they want. 820 01:08:47,020 --> 01:08:54,080 The other issue that we were seeing with HDL because they were the more money they collect, the more they make. 821 01:08:54,900 --> 01:09:00,220 So we were seeing instances where they were trying to double dip for a variety of reasons on certain businesses, 822 01:09:01,860 --> 01:09:03,340 of sending a lot of folks. 823 01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:11,380 So we want to treat our business community with kindness and respect, and so bringing this in-house will do that. 824 01:09:11,380 --> 01:09:19,300 There are a couple of changes that we have to do if council agrees with my recommendations 825 01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:25,440 of this reclassification number one adopting a new salary schedule and reporting that to 826 01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:27,300 CalPERS as required. 827 01:09:28,380 --> 01:09:33,580 The increase in this position at top step is just under $2,000 a month. 828 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:44,320 We are currently paying HDL over $30,000 a year, so by making this change, essentially year one we'll be saving a little over $6,000. 829 01:09:45,820 --> 01:09:57,560 So providing better service, getting this accomplished by bringing it in a house and eliminating the rising cost of what HDL could bring in. 830 01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:03,440 This also aligns with council's goal of the positions of being at 85% of median. 831 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,400 This salver scale that's in your staff report achieves that. 832 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:13,200 And it's shown in your attachment for what would be the new updated salary schedule. 833 01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:19,400 And the third piece is an amendment to the miscellaneous memorandum of understanding. 834 01:10:19,900 --> 01:10:25,300 The MOU would just be simply changing community development tech to community development specialists. 835 01:10:25,300 --> 01:10:28,520 So that's the only amendment that would happen within the MOU. 836 01:10:29,460 --> 01:10:32,760 With that, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. 837 01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:35,820 Questions for staff? 838 01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:43,440 So in the staff report, the background, it says the city has terminated the contract with HDL, 839 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,160 but we haven't terminated it yet. 840 01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:47,180 We've just given that notice. 841 01:10:48,100 --> 01:10:48,920 We've notified them, okay. 842 01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:53,180 And I think that we signed that in October 20. 843 01:10:53,180 --> 01:10:56,160 Yes, so we have some transition time between now and October. 844 01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:03,520 Okay, that's just so it's a nice smooth transition, because we normally do renewals in June or July as it or, yeah. 845 01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:06,120 Oh, it is year-round? 846 01:11:06,420 --> 01:11:10,000 Oh, I always get it January is a big month. 847 01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,240 January is a big month, okay, because I must be in that second. 848 01:11:13,820 --> 01:11:15,160 Okay, thank you, that's it. 849 01:11:15,540 --> 01:11:17,220 So, other questions for staff? 850 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:23,100 No, question is just I want to compliment Chris on the staff to address a problem that has 851 01:11:23,100 --> 01:11:35,780 It's created so many issues, I know some of us have involved directly, but out there, there's a number of people that call on a regular basis that we're throwing their hands up in the air and trying to get their license renewed, and we want them to be in compliance. 852 01:11:36,340 --> 01:11:38,040 Thank you, on their behalf. 853 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:53,080 Thank you, thank you very much. 854 01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:58,260 Questions and answers and not have to wait for a contract company to call them back?

861 01:12:29,860 --> 01:12:31,240 It is in process. 862 01:12:31,620 --> 01:12:31,960 Okay. 863 01:12:32,420 --> 01:12:32,600 Yes. 864 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:33,620 When will it be ready? 865 01:12:34,500 --> 01:12:35,540 Before October. 866 01:12:36,060 --> 01:12:36,240 Okay. 867 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:41,520 That's why we have, that's why we've built in the runway for the next couple of months. 868 01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:42,240 Okay. 869 01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:43,600 They're finishing up. 870 01:12:44,060 --> 01:12:54,060 It's called pads and that's kind of, that is the module that will do business license, facility rentals and some of those other needs that we have. 871 01:12:54,260 --> 01:12:54,480 Okay. 872 01:12:54,480 --> 01:13:00,620 Great. And while we still have HDL, or even as you guys were considering doing this, 873 01:13:00,740 --> 01:13:06,280 do we know how many businesses still do not, are out of compliance, don't have their licenses, etc.? 874 01:13:08,500 --> 01:13:12,200 They can provide, they've agreed to provide all the data to us. 875 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:17,840 So whether it's a current business or an expected non-compliant business, 876 01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:19,400 we can get that data from them. 877 01:13:19,620 --> 01:13:19,840 Okay. 878 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:21,840 And then our person will follow up. 879 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:22,220 Okay. 880 01:13:22,220 --> 01:13:29,980 Okay, and then there was something else someone said that made me think of a question and I can't remember it now, maybe it'll come back to me. 881 01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:37,840 Just one clarification, so the $6,000 Delta that you identified in software, that's not fully loaded though, right? 882 01:13:38,260 --> 01:13:41,280 So, no, no, that's just, that's not a salary, correct. 883 01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:49,400 So, I mean, I just want to make sure there is a purge impact here, and that's not nothing for the $6,000. 884 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:55,960 It's, yeah, it's small because it's an existing employee who's just pay raise it's a marginal increase. 885 01:13:56,360 --> 01:14:03,660 Yes, correct, but okay, just keeping clarifying that's the salary number, not the fully loaded number. 886 01:14:03,780 --> 01:14:10,880 Yes, and I think when we originally signed that agreement with HDL, I'm glad you asked that question, 887 01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:17,960 Councilmember Tillman, because I think we asked for a guarantee that they would transfer 888 01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:23,440 all files, documentation, number of businesses, those out of compliance. 889 01:14:24,020 --> 01:14:28,760 This was an extended discussion that I had with them because I said everyone exits contracts 890 01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:30,740 eventually so how do we get our data back? 891 01:14:30,820 --> 01:14:31,080 You did. 892 01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:32,120 You did. 893 01:14:32,340 --> 01:14:36,320 And they included provisions within the contract to do so. 894 01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:36,840 Yes. 895 01:14:37,580 --> 01:14:38,320 All right. 896 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:41,260 I remember. 897 01:14:41,260 --> 01:14:46,540 You have a question. All right. What is the time split between the duties adding on these additional duties? 898 01:14:46,900 --> 01:14:53,920 So I'm going to assume that they are not that they have the bandwidth to take this on, but what will be the division time split? 899 01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:56,200 So this is 900 01:14:58,960 --> 01:14:59,960 He's it's kind of 901 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,980 Swiss Army knife of positions because this is the person who does code enforcement, does the over-the-counter work with permits and kind of assist our senior planner with that permit process.
