Mission Statement "We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a Better Communityfor Today and Tomorrow." CITY OF ROHNERT PARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: January 28, 2025 Department: Development Services Submitted By: Alicia Giudice, Director of Development Services Prepared By: Eric Stephens, Code Compliance Manager & Jenna Garcia, Housing Manager Agenda Title: Waive the Second Reading of and Adopt Ordinance No. 986, an Ordinance Amending Chapters 1.16 (General Penalty), 1.24 (Nuisance Abatement), 1.25 (Administrative Citation Program), 1.26 (Administrative Hearings) and 1.27 (Collection Procedures) and adding a new Chapter 1.23 (Nuisance Defined) within Title 1 of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code to Streamline the Administrative Citation and Nuisance Abatement Processes and Increasing Fines for Short -Term Rental Violations RECOMMENDED ACTION: Waive the Second Reading of and Adopt Ordinance No. 986, an ordinance amending Chapters 1.16 (General Penalty), 1.24 (Nuisance Abatement), 1.25 (Administrative Citation Program), 1.26 (Administrative Hearings) and 1.27 (Collection Procedures) and adding a new Chapter 1.23 (Nuisance Defined) within Title 1 of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code to streamline the administrative citation and nuisance abatement processes and increasing fines for short-term rental violations. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: On January 14, 2025, the City Council held a public meeting and unanimously waived the first reading and introduced an ordinance amending the Rohnert Park Municipal Code Title 1 concerning the administrative citation and nuisance abatement processes and increasing fines for short-term rental violations. The code revisions in the ordinance can be categorized into three main areas: reorganization and clarification, process streamlining, and updates to align with state law. Reorganization and Clarification The revised Title 1 aims to enhance clarity, usability, and readability through the reorganization of key chapters. The proposed code outline includes: 1. Chapter 1.23: Nuisance Defined (New Chapter) oo Defines nuisances and includes definitions applicable to all code compliance enforcement tools oo Aims to reduce duplication and confusion between processes oo Introduces a couple new definitions and modifies some existing ones to enhance clarity and consistency in enforcement. 4930-6536-4232 v2 ITEM NO. 8.1). 2. Chapter 1.24: Administrative Citation Program (Currently Chapter 1.25) oo Moved ahead of the nuisance abatement process since the citation process is used more frequently oo Incorporates sections on administrative hearings and remedies for late or unpaid fines from current Chapters 1.26 and 1.27 0o Removes sections 1.24.050-1.24.100 relating to residential rental units and relocates them to Chapter 1.26 3. Chapter 1.25: Nuisance Abatement (Currently Chapter 1.24) oo Moved after the administrative citation program 0o Incorporates sections on nuisance abatement hearings and remedies from current Chapters 1.26 and 1.27 and relocates the collection procedures in Chapter 1.27 to the proposed Chapter 1.25 4. Chapter 1.26: Residential Rental Units (Currently within Chapter 1.24) 0o Created to house residential rental units code sections currently located in the middle of Chapter 1.24 oo Relocation aims to improve flow and coherence of the nuisance abatement chapter 0o No substantive changes proposed, only relocation and internal code reference updates The proposed ordinance also amends the current Chapter 1.27 to be "reserved" for future use, if necessary. Process Streamlining The revised Title 1 introduces changes to the Administrative Citation and Nuisance Abatement processes to improve efficiency in addressing nuisances. These changes are designed to ensure that violations are addressed in a fair, clear, and efficient manner while maintaining distinct processes for administrative citations and nuisance abatement. The current Administrative Citation process involves multiple notices prior to the citation notice, causing delays of over 40 days before the City can issue citations and collect fines for noncompliance. While City code compliance staff prioritize voluntary compliance and can extend the pre -citation notice period if progress is shown, it's crucial to have efficient tools for addressing violations. The proposed amendments to the administrative citation process will: oo Eliminate the 10-day preliminary notice period. oo Reduce the pre -citation notice period from 30 days to 15 days. 0o Clarify language about optional administrative citation appeal hearings, distinguishing them clearly from nuisance abatement appeal hearings. The current Nuisance Abatement process includes a preliminary notice before issuing a notice of violation and order to abate, which can delay addressing nuisances that pose serious health and safety risks. The proposed amendments eliminate the 10-day preliminary notice period. Additionally, the current code requires a hearing to confirm the nuisance. The proposed revisions remove that hearing requirement but still allow an appeal hearing if the offender contests the notice of violation. These 4930-6536-4232 v2 2 ITEM NO. 8.D. changes aim to reduce delays and improve efficiency while maintaining flexibility for compliance timelines tailored to specific cases. Updates to Align with State Law In 2021, California enacted SB 60, empowering local governments to impose fines for violations of short-term rental ordinances. Rohnert Park's current ordinance (17.07.020(KK)) prohibits short-term rentals citywide, with one exception: a single bedroom within a primary dwelling unit may be rented short-term with a permit from the City's planning division. Although illegal short-term rentals are not currently a widespread issue in Rohnert Park, staff recommends updating Title 1, Chapter 1.16 to incorporate the new state -authorized fines. This proactive measure will prepare the City for potential future challenges. Under the new state law, violations of Rohnert Park's short-term rental ordinance will incur the following fines: 1. First violation: Up to $1,500 2. Second violation within one year: Up to $3,000 3. Each additional violation within one year of the first: Up to $5,000 These updates provide the City with stronger enforcement tools if short-term rental violations become more prevalent. Please note that, due to the number of revisions and reorganization of code sections, a redlined version of the proposed amendments to Title 1 will not be included as an attachment to this staff report. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The proposed action is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed ordinance is not a "project" within the meaning of Section 15378 of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it has no potential to result in physical changes to the environment, either directly or indirectly. If the ordinance is found to be a "project" within the meaning of section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, the amendments are exempt under section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. Finally, the fee provisions of the proposed ordinance do not constitute a project under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), which says that the creation of government funding mechanisms that do not involve a commitment to a particular project do not fall under the auspices of CEQA. STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL GOALS/PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT: The proposed action is consistent with the City's goals to improve neighborhood quality, deliver high - quality services and enhance community well-being. OPTIONS CONSIDERED: None. Adopting the proposed amendments to Rohnert Park Municipal Code Chapters 1.16 (General Penalty), 1.24 (Nuisance Abatement), 1.25 (Administrative Citation Program), 1.26 (Administrative Hearings), and 1.27 (Collection Procedures) and adding a new chapter 1.23 (Nuisance Defined) is consistent with City Council's action to introduce the ordinance. 4930-6536-4232 v2 ITEM NO. 8.D. FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: The proposed amendments to Title 1 of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code have no direct impact on the City's General Fund. However, they enhance the City's ability to recover nuisance abatement costs through mechanisms such as liens and special assessments, ensuring that expenses incurred by the City are reimbursed and reducing the fiscal burden on public resources. Additionally, the amendments include updates to the fine and fee schedule in alignment with SB 60, which authorizes cities to increase penalties for short-term rental violations.

Chapter 1.23 NUISANCE DEFINED 1.23.010 Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of this chapter is to define public nuisances and the procedures the city of Rohnert Park may use to remedy the violations, including abatement. These procedures are vital for promoting the health, safety, economic, aesthetic and general welfare of the citizens of the city, and to protect neighborhoods against property -related nuisances, blight and deterioration by establishing requirements for all buildings, whether residential or non-residential, or structures of whatever kind, and establishing requirements for the maintenance of all land, whether improved or vacant. The city of Rohnert Park has a history and reputation for well -kept properties. Property values and the general welfare of the community are founded, in part, upon the appearance and maintenance of private properties. Owners and occupants of some properties within the city permit conditions to exist which are below the minimum conditions required by this chapter and therefore injurious and detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of residents of the city and contribute substantially and increasingly to the deterioration of residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. Resolution and/or abatement of conditions that do not meet the standards required by the Rohnert Park Municipal Code (hereinafter, "code") will promote the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the city because maximum use and enjoyment of property in close proximity to other property depends upon maintenance of both properties. This chapter, as well as the three immediately following this one (Chapters 1.24, 1.25 and 1.26), shall apply to all buildings, structures and land within the city without regard to use, date of construction or alterations and are enforced uniformly. Chapters 1.24 and 1.25 establish procedures for enforcement of the code and to seek corrective action for, and/or abate any and all other public nuisances, whether property related or not, which the city has declared to be injurious to the public health, comfort, convenience, safety, welfare, prosperity, peace and quiet of the city and its inhabitants. There are three general remedies used for enforcement of code violations: A. Administrative citations, as described in Chapter 1.24, are utilized to impose fines on property owners or occupants to address violations of any section of this code. B. Nuisance abatement, as described in Chapter 1.25, is utilized for ongoing and/or significant violations which require formal city intervention to abate the violations. C. Summary abatement, as described in Section 1.25.160, is reserved for conditions or use of property that constitute an imminent or immediate danger to the health and safety of the public. EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE NO. 986 Page 3 of 29 The foregoing remedies provided in this chapter shall be cumulative and not exclusive. The city is empowered to take all necessary actions to ensure the standards outlined in this code are met and maintained. This chapter, as well as Chapters 1.24, 1.25 and 1.26, grant the city broad authority to enforce compliance through any available legal remedy necessary to address violations of any section of the code and protect the public's health, safety and welfare. 1.23.020 Definitions.

The purpose and intent of this chapter is to set forth a clear process by which the city may issue administrative citations, in addition to any and all other legal remedies, to address violations of any section of this code. 1.24.020 Applicability. A. Enforcement of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code (hereinafter, "code") throughout the city is an important public service and is vital to the protection of the public's health, safety and quality of life. A comprehensive code enforcement system uses a combination of judicial and administrative remedies to gain compliance with code regulations. This chapter outlines precise regulations that can be effectively applied in judicial and administrative proceedings and further establishes uniform procedures for the proper application of administrative code enforcement remedies and administrative hearings to resolve administrative code enforcement cases and appeals. It is the purpose and intent of this code to afford due process of law to any person who is directly affected by an administrative enforcement action. Due process of law includes adequate notice of the violation and enforcement remedy chosen by the city, an adequate explanation of the reasons justifying the administrative enforcement action taken by the city, and an opportunity to participate in the appropriate administrative enforcement or appeal hearing. These procedures are also intended to establish a forum to efficiently, expeditiously and fairly resolve issues raised by any administrative enforcement action. C. The administrative citations provided for in this chapter are an additional enforcement remedy to all other legal remedies, criminal or civil, which may be pursued by the city, to address any violation of this code or other public nuisance. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed a waiver of any other enforcement remedies found within this code. 1.24.030 Definitions.

For all other violations not relating to building, plumbing, electrical, or other similar structural or zoning issues that do not create an immediate danger to health or safety, the offender shall have a reasonable time period, as determined by the compliance officer, to correct or otherwise remedy the code violation. EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE NO. 986 Page 14 of 29 C.

Include a warning that a failure to pay the fine or request and appear at an administrative hearing shall result in the penalties described in Section 1.24.060, including a description of the penalties; and 11. The name and signature of the compliance officer. C. Each and every day or portion thereof that a violation of this code occurs or continues shall constitute a new, separate and distinct violation subject to administrative citation and administrative fines or fees in accordance with this chapter. D. Voided or cancelled administrative citations. Administrative citations, once issued, shall only be voided or cancelled under the specific circumstances provided for herein: The compliance officer makes a significant error in preparing the administrative citation, such as an incorrect date, incorrect offender information, incorrect violations cited, or incorrect fine amount; The administrative citation is voided or cancelled by the hearing officer as part of an administrative order resulting from a hearing held pursuant to Section 1.23.060.

Administrative fines or penalties may be provided in the form of a fine or penalty resolution established by the city council for specific individual violations or categories of violation. Where an administrative fine or penalty has not been established by resolution of city council for a specific violation or category of violations, the applicable administrative fine or penalty shall be the maximum fine amounts for infractions set forth in subdivision (b) of Government Code Section 36900.

In addition, willful failure to pay fines that are due shall, after sixty days of delinquency, constitute a separate violation chargeable as a misdemeanor. No Waiver. Under no circumstances shall the payment of the fine designated in the administrative citation constitute a waiver of the offender's right to a hearing. Therefore, an offender may pay the fine within the fifteen -day appeal period and also obtain a hearing to protest the imposition of the fine, provided that the offender makes a timely request for an appeal hearing. C. Obligation to Correct Violation. Nothing in this code shall be interpreted to mean that because an offender has paid the fine that they are not required to correct the code violation(s). Failure to correct the code violations may result in additional administrative citations. D. Refund of Payments. Any administrative citation fine, fee or penalty paid pursuant to subsection A of this section shall be refunded in accordance with Section 1.24.100(C)(1) if it is determined, after an appeal hearing, that the person charged in the administrative citation was not responsible for the violation, that there was no violation as charged in the administrative citation, or a modification to the amount owed was made. 1.24.070 Request for administrative citation appeal hearing.

EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE NO. 986 Page 19 of 29 Chapter 1.25 NUISANCE ABATEMENT 1.25.010 Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of this chapter is to establish procedures to abate any and all other public nuisances, whether property related or not, which the city has declared to be injurious to the public health, comfort, convenience, safety, welfare, prosperity, peace and quiet of the city and its inhabitants. 1.25.020 Applicability. A. Enforcement of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code (hereinafter, "code") throughout the city is an important public service and is vital to the protection of the public's health, safety and quality of life. A comprehensive code enforcement system uses a combination of judicial and administrative remedies to gain compliance with code regulations. This chapter outlines precise regulations that can be effectively applied in judicial and abatement proceedings and further establishes uniform procedures for the proper application of nuisance abatement hearings and remedies to resolve code enforcement cases and appeals. It is the purpose and intent of this code to afford due process of law to any person who is directly affected by nuisance abatement action. Due process of law includes adequate notice of the violation and enforcement remedy chosen by the city, an adequate explanation of the reasons justifying the nuisance abatement action taken by the city, and an opportunity to participate in the appropriate enforcement or appeal hearing. These procedures are also intended to establish a forum to efficiently, expeditiously and fairly resolve issues raised by any nuisance abatement action. C. The nuisance abatement process provided for in this chapter is an additional enforcement remedy to all other legal remedies, criminal or civil, which may be pursued by the city, to address any violation of this code or other public nuisance. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed a waiver of any other enforcement remedies found within this code. 1.25.030 Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, the terms used in this chapter shall have the same meaning as provided for in Chapter 1.23 of this code. 1.25.040 Notice of violation and order to abate. A. Whenever a compliance officer charged with the enforcement of any provision of this chapter determines that a violation of a provision of the code exists, the compliance officer shall have the authority to cause the owner and any responsible party to be notified that a violation of this chapter has not been abated and ordering such parties to abate the nuisance within a date specified. The notice of violation and order to abate shall contain the following information: The names and addresses of the owner and responsible parties, if any, in violation of this chapter and the street address, legal description or other description of the premises where the violation is located; A statement specifying the condition(s) which constitute a nuisance and the specific code section(s) which have been violated; EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE NO. 986 Page 20 of 29 A statement that the owner and responsible parties, if any, had been previously notified of the violation and requested to correct it, 4. A statement that the recipient has ten calendar days from the date of the notice to voluntarily abate the nuisance, or if the compliance officer determines that ten calendar days is insufficient to abate the nuisance a statement specifying a date certain by which the nuisance must be abated; 5. A statement that if the responsible party fails to abate the nuisance within the time prescribed in the notice the city will abate the nuisance at the expense of the responsible parties and the costs of such abatement may be charged against the premises as a lien or special assessment; 6. A statement informing the recipient of their right to contest the compliance officer's determination during the nuisance abatement hearing by presenting evidence explaining why the premises should not be declared a nuisance and abated at the expense of the parties and/or why the costs of such abatement should not become a charge against the premises; and 7. A statement advising the owner that if legal action is instituted by either the owner or city in any manner relating to the abatement of the nuisance, the prevailing party may seek recovery of its costs and attorneys' fees. 8. The name, signature and department of the citing compliance officer. C. A copy of the notice provided for in this section shall be served upon the owner of the premises, any occupants of the premises and any other responsible party in the manner provided for in Section 1.23.060. D. The person giving such notice shall file a copy thereof in the office of the compliance officer together with an affidavit or certificate stating the time and manner in which such notice was given. The failure of any owner or other party to receive such notice shall not affect in any manner the validity of any proceedings taken hereunder. 1.25.050 Abatement by owner. The owner or responsible party may, at their own expense, (a) abate the nuisance in the time and manner presented in the notice of violation and order to abate or written determination of the hearing officer, whichever is applicable, or (b) prior to the scheduled hearing, abate a declared nuisance in accordance with the provisions of the notice of violation and order to abate issued in accordance with Section 1.25.040, provided that all necessary permits are first obtained. If a compliance officer determines that the nuisance has been properly abated, then proceedings pursuant to this chapter may be terminated, provided, however, that the city may in its discretion, proceed with recovery of such abatement costs, including incidental expenses, incurred by the city for administration, code enforcement or abatement by the city, as it may have incurred prior to abatement by the owner. Nothing in this chapter shall relieve any owner or other responsible party of the obligation of obtaining any required permit to do any work incidental to such abatement. 1.25.060 Abatement by the city —Debt of owner. A. In all cases where the city has determined to proceed with abatement, upon the date set forth for abatement of the nuisance in the notice and order or determination of the hearing officer, whichever is applicable, the city shall acquire jurisdiction to abate said condition at the expense of the owner and/or responsible party as herein provided. The city is authorized to cause the EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE NO. 986 Page 21 of 29 nuisance to be abated by city forces or by private contract. To that end, the persons authorized to abate the nuisance may enter upon private property in a manner consistent with the United States and California Constitutions. Upon the abatement of such condition or any portion thereof by the city, all the expenses thereof shall constitute a civil debt owing to the city jointly and severally by the owner and/or responsible parties. The debt shall be collectible in the same manner as any other civil debt owing to the city and may be made a special assessment or lien upon the property pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 1.25.150. 1.25.070 Request for appeal hearing. A. The owner or responsible party may make a written request for an appeal hearing to appeal a notice of violation and order to abate in the manner provided for on the notice of violation and order to abate, within fifteen calendar days from the mailing or personal service date of the notice of violation and order to abate.

The decision maker may, among other things, set reasonable limits on the length of the hearing; limit the number of witnesses to testify for each side where their testimony would be unduly burdensome or cumulative or repetitive in nature; limit or exclude any abusive, argumentative, repetitive or otherwise irrelevant testimony; and place reasonable limits on the right to cross-examine and present evidence. D. The compliance officer shall bear the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that violation(s) of the code exist. E. Any notice of violation, administrative citation or report submitted by the compliance officer to the decision maker shall constitute prima facie evidence of the respective facts contained in those documents. F. Oral evidence may be given under on oath or affirmation. G. The responsible party may be represented by anyone of their choice or may represent themselves. H. The hearing is intended to be informal in nature. Formal rules of the California Evidence Code and discovery shall not apply. I. Hearsay evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining any direct evidence. 1.25.090 Failure to attend hearing. The failure to appear at a scheduled hearing without prior notice and request for continuance shall constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing. A person's failure to appear at the administrative hearing EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE NO. 986 Page 22 of 29 shall be presumed an admission to the violation indicated in the enforcement action, and such person will forfeit any fine or fee submitted. 1.25.100 Decision following hearing. A. Issuance of Decision. After considering all of the testimony and evidence submitted at the hearing, within ten calendar days after the conclusion of the hearing of the appeal of the notice of violation and order to abate, the decision maker shall issue a written decision in the form of an administrative order upholding, modifying, or cancelling the notice of violation and order to abate.

The decision of the decision maker shall be final. B. Service of Decision. The decision shall be served in accordance with Section 1.23.060 of this code. Copies of the decision shall be sent to the property owner, responsible party, compliance officer and the city clerk. C. Order to abate. If the decision maker upholds the notice of violation and order to abate the nuisance, then the decision shall provide a date for abatement of the violations at such time as the hearing officer deems reasonable. If the violation implicates a First Amendment right, the order shall also provide that the order to abate is suspended until the responsible party exhausts or fails to exhaust any applicable judicial remedies. The abatement order shall further state that if the nuisance is not abated within the time provided, the nuisance shall be abated by the city at the parties' expense and the expenses may be made a lien or special assessment against the property.

Upon conclusion of such abatement, the compliance officer shall submit an itemized statement of costs to the city clerk. Costs of abatement shall begin to run from the date of the notice to abate, except EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE NO. 986 Page 23 of 29 in cases of summary abatement, in which case costs of abatement shall begin to run from the date the enforcement officer became aware of the nuisance requiring summary abatement. The city may seek to recover attorney fees incurred for an abatement action and related proceedings in those individual actions or proceedings in which the city elects, at the initiation of that individual action or proceeding, to seek recovery of its own attorney fees. If the city elects to seek recovery of its own attorney fees, attorney fees may be recovered by the prevailing party in said action or proceeding. C.

At the time and place fixed for receiving and considering the statement of costs and expenses of the abatement, the city council shall hear and pass upon the statement, together with any specific objections or protests raised by any of the persons liable to be assessed for the costs of abating such nuisance. The city council may make such revisions, corrections, or modifications to the statement as it may deem just or necessary. The hearing may be continued from time to time. C. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the city council shall adopt a resolution determining the costs of abatement. The city council may also require, by resolution, that the costs be a nuisance abatement lien or special assessment upon the subject property as provided for in Section 1.25.150 of this code. The decision of the city council shall be final and conclusive. 1.25.130 Treble costs of abatement. The city council provides that, upon entry of a second or subsequent civil or criminal judgment within a two-year period finding that an owner of property or a person is responsible for a condition requiring abatement, except for conditions abated pursuant to Section 17980 of the Health and Safety Code, a court may order the owner of property responsible for a condition that may be abated in accordance with this chapter to pay treble the costs of abatement pursuant to Government Code Section 38773.7.

Special assessment. If the city makes the abatement costs a special assessment against the property on which the nuisance is maintained, the city shall: Provide notice of the special assessment to the property owner by a method as listed in Section 1.23.060, if the property owner's identity can be determined from the county assessor's or county recorder's records, at the time of imposing the assessment, which notice shall specify that the property may be sold after three years by the tax collector for unpaid delinquent assessments; and The city shall follow the procedures set forth in Government Code Section 38773.5. C. Lien procedures. Whenever the amount of any fine, fee or penalty and/or cost imposed pursuant to this chapter in connection with real property has not been satisfied in full within the time periods set forth in this chapter and/or has not been successfully appealed, this obligation may constitute a lien against the real property on which the violation occurred as follows: The lien shall have no force and effect until recorded with the county recorder. Once recorded, the administrative order shall have the force and effect and priority of a judgment lien governed by the provisions of Section 697.340 of the Code of Civil Procedure and may be extended as provided in Sections 683.110 through 683.220, inclusive, of the Code of Civil Procedure. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the judgment remaining unsatisfied pursuant to law. 3. Prior to recording any such lien, the director of finance shall prepare and file with the city clerk a report stating the amounts due and owing. 4. The city clerk shall fix a time, date and place for hearing such report and any protests or objections thereto before the city council. Each protest or objection must contain a description of the property in which the protesting party is interested and the grounds of such protest or objection. Protests or objections shall be limited to the amount of the lien, not the underlying violation of this code. The city council, after the hearing, shall adopt a resolution confirming, discharging or modifying the amount of the lien. 5. The director of finance shall cause written notice to be served on the property owner no less than ten days prior to the time set for the hearing. EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE NO. 986 Page 25 of 29 6. Thirty days following the adoption of a resolution by the city council imposing a lien, the city clerk shall file the same judgment lien in the office of the county recorder of Sonoma County. The lien may carry such additional administrative charges as set forth by resolution of the city council. 7. Once payment in full is received by the city for outstanding fines, fees, penalties and costs, the director of finance shall either record a notice of satisfaction or provide the property owner with a notice of satisfaction so they may record this notice with the office of the county records. Such notice of satisfaction shall cancel the city's lien. 1.25.160 Summary abatement Whenever any condition on or use of property causes or constitutes or appears to cause or constitute an immediate hazard or threat, any compliance officer or their authorized representative shall have the authority to institute the following procedures: A. Notice. The code compliance officer shall attempt to make contact through a personal interview, or by telephone, with the owner or responsible party, if any, occupying or otherwise in real or apparent charge and control thereof. In the event contact is made, he or she shall notify such person or persons of the danger involved and require that such condition be immediately removed, repaired or isolated so as to preclude harm to any person or property. Abatement. In the event the code compliance officer is unable to make contact as hereinabove noted, or if the appropriate persons, after notification by the code compliance officer, do not take action as specified by such official, within twenty-four hours, or a lesser period if deemed necessary, then the code compliance officer may, with the approval of the city manager or their designee, and the City Attorney take all steps deemed necessary to remove or isolate such dangerous condition, or conditions, with the use of city forces or a contractor retained pursuant to the provisions of this code. The abatement shall include all actions necessary to secure the premises to prevent further occurrence of the nuisance. C. Summary abatement actions shall not be subject to the notice and hearing requirements of this chapter, and a compliance officer shall not be prohibited from summary abatement actions after initiation of proceedings pursuant to this chapter, if immediate action at any time becomes necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety. Summary abatement shall be limited to those actions which are necessary to immediately remove the threat. D. The expense of summarily abating a nuisance shall be a charge against the persons creating, causing, committing or maintaining it. The city may make the expense of abatement of the nuisance a debt collectible in the same manner as any other civil debt owing to the city and may be made a special assessment or lien upon the property pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 1.25.150(A) or (B).

Mission Statement "We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a Better Communityfor Today and Tomorrow." CITY OF ROHNERT PARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: January 28, 2024 Department: Finance Department Submitted By: Betsy Howze, Finance Director Prepared By: Betsy Howze, Finance Director Agenda Title: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Measure H Funding Agreement Between the County of Sonoma and the City of Rohnert Park and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Same RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a Resolution approving the Measure H Funding Agreement Between the County of Sonoma and the City of Rohnert Park and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same. BACKGROUND: On March 5, 2024, the voters of Sonoma County approved Measure H, "The Improved and Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance", which added Article VIII to Chapter 12 of the Sonoma County Code ("Ordinance"). The Ordinance provides funding to achieve effective and efficient regional fire response services throughout Sonoma County by increasing the Sonoma County sales tax rate by'/2 percent. This increase brings the total City sales tax rate to 9.5%. As part of the oversight and administration of the Ordinance, Section 12-68(A) of the Ordinance requires a funding agreement between the County of Sonoma and recipients, including the City, before any tax proceeds are distributed. 1. Allocation of Funds. As provided in Section 12-66(D), the allocation percentage of funds generated by the Ordinance to be received by the City is five and one-half percent (5.5%). 2. Distribution of Funds. County shall distribute the sales tax proceeds to the City on a quarterly basis based on the following schedule: July — September proceeds will be distributed by the 10th of December; October — December proceeds will be distributed by the 1 Oth of March; January — March proceeds will be distributed by the 1 Oth of June; and April — June proceeds will be distributed by the 1 Oth of September. The first distribution of tax proceeds from County to City per the Ordinance and Agreement will be made by the 1 Oth of March 2025 for the October — December 2024 collection date. It is estimated that the City will receive approximately $2.6 million for FY 2024-25 with the final FY 24-25 distribution to be received by September 10, 2025. ITEM NO. 8.F. Permissible Use of Funds For the City of Rohnert Park, funds shall be allocated for programs and projects that do one of the following: 1. Wildfire Prevention, Preparedness, Response, and Vegetation Management. 2. Recruitment and Retention of Local Firefighters. 3. Update Essential Equipment and Facilities. 4. Transfer of Funds Among Designated Local Agencies or Other Entities. First year funds will be used to pay for 24-hour coverage for the shared Battalion Chief position approved by the Council as part of the FY 24-25 Budget. Remaining funds will be used to build reserves for any future economic downturns, and planned staffing. Staff will return to the Council for any other proposed expenditures for FY 24-25, and will prepare a budget for adoption for FY 25-26. Oversight Committee The Ordinance provides a provision that the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors shall establish an Oversight Committee consisting of eleven appointed members to provide transparency and ensure fiscal accountability. The Committee shall review the receipt and expenditures of the revenue from the transactions and use tax, including an annual report of each Agency's use of the tax. Any written report shall be a public record. All Committee members shall be independent County residents and shall be appointed as follows: The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors shall appoint six Committee members to sit on the Oversight Committee. Two of the Committee members will be selected from a list of names submitted by the Mayors' and Councilmembers' Association of Sonoma County. Two of the Committee members will be selected from a list of names submitted by the labor organizations responsible for collective bargaining on behalf of active -duty firefighters employed by local agencies which receive funding through this Ordinance. 2. The Sonoma County Fire Chiefs Association will appoint three Committee members. One will be selected from a list of names nominated from the general public. 3. The Sonoma County Fire Districts Association will appoint two Committee members. One will be selected from a list of names submitted by the Sonoma County Taxpayers Association. Committee Members will serve a three-year term and are eligible to be reappointed by their appointing body. Subject to Sections 12-67(C) and 12-67(D) of the Ordinance, the Oversight Committee shall have the authority to audit the receipt and expenditures as set forth in the annual reports submitted by Recipients. Baseline Maintenance of Effort (MOE) As provided in Section 12-65, Ordinance proceeds shall not be used to supplant the City's historical general fund contribution for providing fire related services. The proportional allocation to determine maintenance of effort is City's baseline operating budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022, which includes ad valorem property taxes, parcel taxes or any other taxes and/or fees in support of the operating cost for providing fire related services, but excludes limited term funds such as capital projects, grants, grant matches or other one-time revenues, which will be reported on the City's Annual Report in Exhibit A. 2 ITEM NO. 8.F. The Parties intend and agree to execute an Amendment to this Funding Agreement prior to the submission of the Annual Report, which sets forth City's proportional allocation. If the proportional allocation to City in any subsequent fiscal year is materially less than the FY 21/22 allocation, then the jurisdiction that provides funding shall be deemed to violate the maintenance of effort requirement. Baseline Personnel Funding For the purposes of Section 12-68(A) of the Ordinance, as provided in the operating budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022, City's annual existing revenues used to fund existing personnel in order to establish the baseline for measuring compliance with the requirement that sales tax proceeds shall only be used to pay for additional personnel will be reported on the City's Annual Report in Exhibit A. The Parties intend and agree to execute an Amendment to this Funding Agreement prior to the submission of the Annual Report, which sets forth City's baseline personnel funding. 30-year limit on Bonded Indebtedness As provided in Sections 12-63 and 12-66(C), the City may issue limited tax bonds to finance any program or project in accordance with the Ordinance Expenditure Plan, as allowed by applicable law and as approved by their respective legislative body. The maximum bonded indebtedness shall not exceed the projected 30-year distribution of City's annual allocation and any costs associated with the issuance of such bonds shall be accounted for within the program category in which the bond proceeds are used. Reporting Requirements a. In order to ensure consistency in distribution, reporting, oversight, and administration of the funds generated by the Ordinance as set forth in Section 12-67(B) of the Ordinance, annual reports to the Oversight Committee shall be made by City not later than December 31St of each year in the form attached as Exhibit A to the proposed Funding Agreement. b. If the City receives funding as part of the Countywide Expenditures from the Sonoma County Fire Chiefs Association ("SCFCA") pursuant to Section 12-66(C)(6) of the Ordinance, City shall prepare an annual report to be provided to SCFCA no later than September 30th to be included in the SCFCA's annual report to the Oversight Committee. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: This action is not a Project under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL GOALS/PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT: The proposed action aligns with the City's strategic goals priorities of: oo Long Term Financial Sustainability. oo Community Quality of Life. OPTIONS CONSIDERED: 1. Recommended Option: Staff recommends that the Council authorize the City Manager to execute the funding agreement. The County will not release the Measure H funds to the City until a funding agreement is in place. 2. Alternative Not Recommended: Do not authorize the City Manager to execute the funding agreement, and the City's ability to receive Measure H funds will be delayed. ITEM NO. 8.F. FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: As provided in the Ordinance Section 12-65, Maintenance of Effort Requirement, Ordinance proceeds shall not be used to supplant the City's historical general fund contribution for providing fire related services. The proportional allocation to determine maintenance of effort is the City's baseline operating budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022, which includes ad valorem property taxes, parcel taxes or any other taxes and/or fees in support of the operating cost for providing fire related services but excluding limited term funds such as capital projects, grants, grant matches or other one-time revenues. This is a very complicated calculation for the City, and is still in progress. An error in the calculation could cause the City to over contribute the amount of required general funds to fire response services in future years, resulting in less flexibility in determining funding for other general fund programs. The Measure H Ordinance Funds will be held in a separate Special Revenue Fund to ensure that they are not co -mingled with General Funds, and the that the revenues and expenditures can be budgeted and tracked for reporting purposes, and review by the County Oversight Board. Based on estimates provided, it is estimated that for FY 2024-25 the City will received approximately $2.6M based on three quarters of sales tax activity, and approximately $3.4M for FY 2025-26. Department Head Approval Date: 01/12/25 City Attorney Approval Date: 01/13/25 City Manager Approval Date: 01/22/25 Attachments: 1. Measure H County Ordinance 2. Proposed City Resolution 3. Proposed Measure H Funding Agreement and Exhibit A to Measure H Funding Agreement The People of the County of Sonoma ordain as follows: SECTION 1. Title. This measure shall be known and may be cited as the "Improved and Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response Initiative." SECTION 2. Findings. Like many counties in California, Sonoma County has faced major challenges in recent years when it comes to the critical funding needs facing fire services as we all prepare for future wildfire and winter storms impacts. The annual threat of both are now a reality that is not going away, and Sonoma County Fire Chiefs and Firefighters are concerned that the current County wide fire service delivery structure, funding, and system structure is not enough. While our county grows and public safety demands increase, the public we serve needs and expects prompt, efficient and effective emergency service everywhere at any time. Our specific concerns include that the system is not meeting National Fire Protection Agency standards in all parts of the county. Several service gaps exist, especially in the more rural areas where there are currently extended response times to critical medical emergencies and vehicle accident victims. There are also significant delays in getting an effective fire force on scene to keep small fires from becoming major incidents. Following the failure of Measure G on the March 2020 ballot, the Sonoma County Fire Chiefs Association has invested significant resources into qualifying a new initiative for the March 2024 ballot. The new initiative was written by local firefighters and fire chiefs, who believe the measure addresses a critical need facing Sonoma County and reflects their knowledge of the challenges and needs for fire protection. All funds raised by this measure would be spent by Sonoma County fire agencies to provide fire protection and emergency response services. Strict financial accountability provisions and annual reporting will ensure all funds are spent properly. The Sonoma County Fire Prevention and Response Measure would create a regional plan based on population density, call volumes, station coverage, current service gaps, and special hazards to advance a comprehensive long-term strategy covering all jurisdictions. The Sonoma County Fire Prevention and Response Measure would levy a 1/2 cent sales tax that would generate $60 million annually to address funding challenges. The Measure would increase effective firefighting force available countywide using National Fire Protection Agency standards 1710/ 1720 and a key goal of 3 local firefighters per engine. The Measure would reduce the strain of responding outside of existing boundaries, reduce dependence on larger fire agencies and increase the overall Page 1 of 18 strength of the firefighting system, while improving recruitment and retention of firefighters countywide. The Measure would also increase capacity for local fire prevention efforts like vegetation management. The Sonoma County Fire Prevention and Response Measure would include fiscal accountability protections including representation from Fire Districts Association, Fire Chiefs Association, Taxpayers Association, Board of Supervisors Nominees, City Mayors' and Councilmembers' Association Nominees, Citizen at Large and Labor. A mandatory oversight committee would be required, and all measure funding would be required to stay local and no funding could be taken away by the State or reallocated for purposes other than those specified in this measure. SECTION 3. Improved and Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response Initiative. Article VIII is added to Chapter 12 of the Sonoma County Code as follows: Article VIII — The Improved and Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance. Section 12-60. TITLE. This Ordinance shall be known, and may be cited, as the "Improved and Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance," and may hereinafter be referred to as the "Ordinance." The County of Sonoma hereinafter shall be called the "County." This Ordinance shall be applicable in the incorporated and unincorporated territory of the County. Section 12-61. SEPARATE SECTION WITH TRUE AND IMPARTIAL STATEMENT OF FACTS IDENTIFYING THE TAX AND SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS ON HOW THE REVENUE CAN BE SPENT. If approved by a simple majority of County voters, this Ordinance enacts a retail transactions and use tax in Sonoma County at the rate of one half of a cent per dollar ($0.005) to be used only for the purposes set forth in section 12-66, including, but not limited to, wildfire prevention, preparedness, emergency response and vegetation management; recruitment and retention of local firefighters; updates to essential equipment and facilities; transfer of funds among designated local agencies or entities; implementation costs; and countywide expenditures.

Section 12-66. EXPENDITURE PLAN. A. Statement of Intent. The fundamental principle guiding this Expenditure Plan is to provide more efficient, effective, and sustainable emergency response, and wildfire prevention capabilities that protect the health and safety of the public in Sonoma County. To achieve this goal, a sub -committee of the Sonoma County Fire Chiefs developed a plan that looks beyond established boundaries to protect the public's safety. The ensuing Deployment Plan, which is the basis of this Expenditure Plan, was informed by NFPA 1710/ 1720 National Standards, as well an analysis of population density, call volumes, station coverage response times, special hazard areas, and local knowledge and was developed to provide a long- term framework for planning, funding, and implementing enhanced fire and wildfire capabilities within Sonoma County. The goals of this Expenditure Plan embody the lessons learned from the October 2017 fires (Tubbs, Nuns and Pocket fires), 2019 fires (Kincade fire), and 2020 fires (Walbridge and Glass fires) and several hundred years of experience of the local Fire Chiefs and firefighters that informed this Expenditure Plan. The Sonoma County Fire Chiefs Association is in support of this Ordinance as it has been developed through the guidance and input of all Sonoma County fire agencies and will provide sustainable funding for effective and efficient regional fire response and preparedness services throughout Sonoma County. B. Purposes. The Expenditure Plan for the Improved and Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response Transactions and Use Tax Page 9 of 18 Ordinance (the "Ordinance") provides for investment into six program categories which include, but are not limited to: wildfire prevention, preparedness, emergency response and vegetation management; recruitment and retention of local firefighters; updates to essential equipment and facilities; transfer of funds among designated local agencies or entities; implementation costs; and countywide expenditures. The tax proceeds must be spent for the purposes authorized in this Expenditure Plan and may not be used for other purposes. The revenues collected from the tax shall be used only to supplement existing services and shall not be used to pay for existing operations. The percentage of tax being distributed to each Agency is set forth in section 12-66(D). C. Permissible Use of Funds. The revenues generated by the retail transactions and use tax imposed by this Ordinance shall be allocated by Sonoma County on a quarterly basis with additional independent oversight provided by the Oversight Committee described in section 12-67 to ensure expenditures are consistent with this section. Funds shall be allocated for programs and projects that do one of the following: 1. Wildfire Prevention, Preparedness, Response, and Vegetation Management. The addition of approximately 200 firefighters, which will provide for more efficient, effective, and sustainable fire response, paramedic services, and wildfire prevention and response capabilities that protect the health and safety of Sonoma County residents, business owners, and visitors. The sales tax will fund new regional fire inspectors and a county -wide vegetation management crew to provide enhanced vegetation management to prevent wildfire spread throughout the county. Local fire agencies' staff shall provide vegetation management services in their jurisdictions, including parcel inspections to ensure that property owners are complying with minimum vegetation management standards of the County of Sonoma's Abatement of Hazardous Vegetation and Combustible Material ordinance or relevant ordinance (that meets the minimum standards established by the County) within an agency's jurisdiction. The county -wide crew will perform vegetation management fire prevention services that will directly mitigate hazards, reduce fuels, reinforce evacuation routes, and construct fuel breaks. 2. Recruitment and Retention of Local Firefighters. As described above, the sales tax will provide support for approximately 200 additional firefighters throughout the county to protect the public's health and safety. The enhanced level of service will fund qualified firefighters and paramedics to provide wildfire suppression, emergency response, and vegetation management fire prevention services. In addition, the sales tax will go to certain fire agencies that have specific challenges recruiting and retaining full-time firefighters. 3. Update Essential Equipment and Facilities. The agencies that provide fire suppression services are authorized upon the approval of their respective legislative bodies, to use their allocation of tax proceeds to bond for the purpose of improving and/or replacing fire facilities, equipment and/or apparatus to increase the capacity of their respective fire suppression agencies to respond to the fire suppression and fire prevention needs of their respective communities including equipment and facilities upgrades, construction and/or acquisition. An agency with municipal fire Page 10 of 18 suppression services may issue limited tax bonds, from time to time, to finance any program or project in accordance with this Expenditure Plan as allowed by applicable law and as approved by their respective legislative body, and the maximum bonded indebtedness shall not exceed the projected 30-year distribution of their annual allocation. 4. Transfer of Funds Among Designated Local Agencies or Other Entities. Local Agencies which receive funds allocated from the Improved and Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance shall be permitted to enter into an agreement with any other local agency or entity which is delivering products and/or services which accomplish the purposes of this Ordinance. 5.

CITY OF ROHNERT PARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: January 28, 2025 Department: Public Works Submitted By: Vanessa Garrett, Director of Public Works Prepared By: Amanda Bunte, Operations Manager — General Services Agenda Title: Receive an Informational Presentation Regarding the City's Tree Inventory and Resource Analysis Report by Davey Resource Group RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive an informational presentation regarding the Tree Inventory and Resource Analysis Report by Davey Resource Group. BACKGROUND: The City of Rohnert Park Draft 2040 General Plan was released on July 20, 2022 for public review. The Draft General Plan outlines the goals, policies, and programs the City will pursue looking forward to 2040 on a wide range of topics, such as Climate Change, Environmental Justice, and Community Development. Within the 2040 General Plan's Community Development Element, it identifies a need for the City to prepare and update every five years an Urban Forest Master Plan (Plan). Part of the Plan includes an inventory of the City's existing trees, identification of the types of trees appropriate to Rohnert Park's natural environment and mapped locations in the City that would benefit most from tree plantings with the goal of increasing the tree canopy substantially over the next General Plan life cycle. The City prepared a Request for Proposals on July 25, 2023 to solicit consultants to perform work that includes: oo Inventorying the existing tree and collecting data about their condition and maintenance needs. oo Mapping the existing locations. Analyze the collected data to identify trends, patterns, and key findings related to the city's urban tree canopy. Prepare a detailed report presenting the assessment results, including recommendations for tree management, preservation, and enhancement strategies. Prepare a prioritization and timeline schedule in conjunction with the City for trees that are dead, or beyond the point of being recovered. Three proposals were received and the selection committee selected Davey Resource Group. On November 141h, 2023 City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a Master Agreement with Davey Resource Group. 4895-3538-4453 v1 ITEM NO. 9.A. The Notice to Proceed was issued February 22, 2024 and the complete inventory and report were received in October 2024. ANALYSIS: The purpose of this item is to inform the Council of our Tree Inventory and Analysis Results. A copy of the complete report is Attachment 1. The tree inventory found that the City of Rohnert Park currently has 16,027 community trees. This is estimated to provide 513.4 acres of canopy cover, which is nearly 11.5% of all land cover. Of that, 178 unique tree species are represented; however 32% of all trees are Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood). The widely accepted rule that no species in an urban forest should exceed 10%. The inventory also found that 419 (2.6%) of the trees are recommended for removal. Annual benefits of the community trees include 1 million gallons of stormwater runoff diverted, 3.3 tons of air pollutants removed, and 151 tons of carbon sequestered. In order to address the priority deferred maintenance 1,241 trees (7.74%) need to be either removed or pruned.

public rights -of -way, including trees along streets, in medians, and in parks. They provide numerous tangible and intangible benefits to residents, visitors, and neighboring communities. The city recognizes that trees are a valued resource, a critical component of the urban infrastructure, and a significant part of the community's identity. In 2024, the City of Rohnert Park contracted with Davey Resource Group, Inc. (DRG) to conduct an inventory of community trees. The tree inventory data was used in conjunction with i-Tree Eco benefit - cost modeling software to develop a detailed and quantified analysis of the current structure, function, benefits, and value of the community tree resource. This report details the results of that analysis. It is important to note that this analysis only includes public trees. Structure Structural analysis is the first step towards understanding the benefits provided by community trees as well as their management needs. Rohnert Park's community tree inventory includes 16,027 trees, and 963 vacant sites and stumps. Considering species composition, diversity, and age distribution. The following information characterizes Rohnert Park's existing community tree inventory: • 178 unique tree species are represented. The top three most prevalent species are: Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood, 32.61/o) Quercus agrifo(ia (coastal live oak, 7.0%), and P(atanus x hybrida (London planetree, 6.3%). These species account for 45.9% of the community tree resource. • 34.0% of trees are 8 inches in diameter (DBH') or less and 17.7% of trees are larger than 24 inches in diameter. • 93.3% of trees are in fair or better condition. • 419 (2.6%) trees are recommended for removal. • Community trees are estimated to provide 513.4 acres of canopy cover, which is nearly 11.5% of all land cover. • To date, Rohnert Park's community trees are storing 9,364 tons of carbon in woody and foliar biomass. • To replace Rohnert Park's 16,027 community trees with trees of equivalent size, species, and condition, would cost nearly $61.1 million. • Approximately 91.7% of trees are at risk to pests and pathogens, including polyphagous shot hole borer, sudden oak death, defoliating moths, and spotted lanternfly. • The stocking level of Rohnert Park's community tree resource is 94.3%. Maintenance Along with structural analysis the development of a proactive maintenance program can help address defects earlier and keep trees healthier while creating a more predictable workload and cost schedule. This predictability can help managers achieve their goals for the urban forest in the most ' DBH: Diameter at Breast Height. DBH represents the diameter of the tree when measured at 1.4 meters (4.5 feet) above ground (U.S.A. standard). Executive Summary efficient way possible. Based on maintenance needs described in the inventory, the following information characterizes Rohnert Park's existing community tree resource: • Annually, the City invests approximately $93,928 ($5.86/tree, $2.29/capita) in management. • 14,232 trees are recommended for routine pruning 155 trees are recommended for priority 1 prune • 667 trees are recommended for priority 2 prune 85 trees are recommended for priority 1 removal 334 trees are recommended for priority 2 and 3 removal • 507 trees are recommended for training pruning Benefits Many of the benefits from urban trees cannot be accurately quantified with current formulas and peer - reviewed consensus. Numerous studies indicate that urban trees provide a multitude of critical benefits to natural ecosystems, economies, and human health and welfare. Currently, i- Tree Eco is limited to quantifying the benefits from trees to air quality, stormwater runoff reduction, carbon sequestration, and energyz. Annually, community trees provide quantifiable benefits to Rohnert Park totaling $77,098. The average annual per tree benefit is $4.81. These benefits include: Carbon Sequestraion ($/yr•) $25,701 33.3% 4, mi Pollution Removal ($/yr•) $42,226 54.8% Avoided Runoff ($/yr•) $9,172 11.9% 1.0 million gallons of avoided stormwater Figure 1: Quantified Annual Benefits from the runoff, valued at $9,172, an average of Community Tree Resource $0.57 per tree. • 3.3 tons of air pollution removed, improving air quality, and reducing adverse health incidents for a value of $42,226, an average of $2.63 per tree. • 150.7 tons of carbon directly sequestered, valued at $25,701, an average of $1.60 per tree. z Energy benefits cannot be quantified for Newman's community trees as the inventory data does not include the cardinal direction and distance of each tree to the nearest dwelling. Executive Summary 2 Introduction Rohnert Park, California, is a charming community nestled in the heart of Sonoma County. Rohnert Park offers a blend of beauty, rich history, and agricultural heritage. Founded in 1888, a centrally located park was the focal point of the city and the community expanded around this park. Rohnert Park has grown from a modest settlement to a vibrant community while retaining its small-town charm. Today the city manages 16,027 public trees, whilst expanding the forestry department and services to better serve the community. Rohnert Park enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot, dry summers. During the summer months, temperatures average a high of 837 and a low of 507. In the winter, daily average temperatures hover around 61°F. The city receives about 12 inches of annual precipitation, primarily between November and April (Weatherspark, 2023). This climate makes Rohnert Park an ideal setting for outdoor activities and exploring the surrounding picturesque landscapes. Urban trees play an essential role in the community providing many benefits, tangible and intangible, to residents, visitors, and neighboring communities. Research demonstrates that healthy urban trees can improve the local environment and lessen the impact resulting from urbanization and industry (Center for Urban Forest Research, 2017). Trees improve air quality, reduce energy consumption, help manage stormwater, reduce erosion, provide critical habitat for wildlife, and promote a connection with nature. When taken together, the community forest contributes to a healthier, more livable, and prosperous Rohnert Park. The community tree inventory (public trees) was analyzed with i-Tree Eco benefit -cost modeling software (v6.0.35) to generate the data for this resource analysis. The software uses inventory data collected in the field along with local hourly air pollution and meteorological data to quantify urban forest structure, environmental effects, and value to the community. The program is a central computing engine that makes scientifically sound estimates of the effects of the urban forest using peer -reviewed equations to predict environmental and economic benefits. Aesthetic, human health, socio-economic, property value, and wildlife benefits are not calculated as part of this study although they are certainly part of the important benefits provided by Rohnert Park's community tree resource. This report provides an assessment of the structure and composition of the current community tree inventory, consisting of 16,027 trees. Where possible, it also quantifies the benefits derived from the tree resource. This baseline data can be used to make effective resource management decisions, develop policy, and set priorities. Ultimately, the results of the analysis allow the City of Rohnert Park to better understand, prioritize, and manage the community tree resource. This summary report provides the following information: • A description of the current structure and management needs of the community tree resource and an established baseline for future management decisions. • Quantifiable economic value of benefits from the community tree resource to air quality, stormwater runoff reduction, and carbon sequestration. • Data that may be used by resource managers in the pursuit of alternative funding sources, local assessment fees, legislative initiatives, and collaborative relationships with utility purveyors, non -governmental organizations, air quality districts, watershed managers, and federal and state agencies. 3 Introduction Work plans that will aid Rohnert Park in making steps to more proactively manage the community tree resource. Trees are of vital importance to the environmental, social, and economic well-being of the community. Introduction 4 Resource Structure A tree resource is more thoroughly understood through examination of its composition and structure. Consideration of stocking level, species diversity, canopy cover, age distribution, condition, and performance provide a foundation for planning and strategic management. Inferences based on this data can help managers understand the importance of individual trees and species populations to the overall forest as it exists today and provide a basis to plan for and project the future potential of the resource. Species Diversity Species diversity is calculated as the proportion of species representing the total community tree resource (Table 1, Figure 2). Rohnert Park's community tree resource includes a mix of 178 unique species (Appendix Q. Of these species, 45% are native to California and 62% are native to North America. The species diversity in Rohnert Park's community tree resource is slightly lower than the mean of 185 species reported from 18 California communities (Muller and Bornstein, 2010).

Catastrophic pests and diseases, such as polyphagous shot hole borer (Euwaiiacea nov. sp.), emerald ash borer (Agri(us p(anipennis), and sudden oak death (Phytophthora ramorum) are some examples of unexpected, devastating, and costly examples that highlight the importance of diversity and the balanced distribution of species and genera. Recognizing that all tree species have a potential vulnerability to pests and disease, urban forest managers have long followed a rule of thumb that no single species should represent greater than 10% of the total population and no single genus more than 20% (Santamour, 1990). In Rohnert Park's community tree population, Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood, 32.6%) exceeds this widely accepted rule at the species level. In Rohnert Park, no genera or family exceeds the recommendation. Managers should continue to strive for increased diversity to promote greater resiliency and reduce the risk of a significant loss in benefits should any species become a liability. Resource Structure 6 Importance Value To quantify the significance of any one species in Rohnert Park's community tree resource, an importance value (IV) is derived for each species. Importance values are particularly meaningful to urban forest managers because they indicate a reliance on the functional capacity (i.e., benefits) of a species. i-Tree Eco calculates importance value based on the sum of two values: percentage of total population and percentage of total leaf area. Importance value goes beyond tree numbers alone to suggest reliance on specific species based on the benefits they provide. The importance value can range from zero (which implies no reliance) to 200 (suggesting total reliance). A complete table, with importance values for all species, is included in Appendix C. To reiterate, research strongly suggests that no single species should dominate the composition of an urban forest. Because importance value goes beyond population numbers, it can help managers to better comprehend the resulting loss of benefits from a loss of any one species. When importance values are comparatively equal among the 10 to 15 most prevalent species, the risk of a significant reduction in benefits is reduced. Of course, suitability of the dominant species is another important consideration. Planting short-lived or poorly adapted species can result in short rotations and increased long-term management costs. Table 2 lists the importance values of the most prevalent species in Rohnert Park's community tree resource. These 17 species represent 79.0% of the overall population and 81.0% of the total leaf area for a combined importance value of 162.1. Rohnert Park relies most heavily on Sequoia sempervirens (Coast redwood, IV=91.0), followed by Quercus agrifolia (coast live oak, IV=12.4), and Platanus x hybrida (London planetree, IV=12.9). Together these three species represent 45.9% of the inventory and have a combined importance value of 116.3 (58.2% of the total). For some species, low importance values are primarily a function of species stature and/or age distribution. Immature trees and small -stature species frequently have lower importance values than their representation in the inventory might suggest. This is due to their relatively small leaf area and canopy coverage. For example, Prunus cerasifera (cherry plum), which represents 1.1% of the overall resource and 0.2% of overall leaf area, currently has an importance value of 1.3 (0.6% of IV). Most of the P. cerasifera population is less than 8 inches in diameter (64%) but due to the small stature of this species, the importance value is not likely to increase significantly over time. In contrast, Acer rubrum (red maple) represents 3.0% of the resource and 1.1 % of overall leaf area and has a current importance value of 4.1. However, 88% of the population of this medium/large stature species is currently under 8 inches in diameter. As A. rubrum trees mature and increase in canopy (leaf area), the importance value of the species is likely to increase significantly over time. Some species are more significant contributors to the urban forest than population numbers would suggest. For example, Eucalyptus nicholii (willow -leaved gimlet) represents less than 1% of the population and 2.7% of overall leaf area and has an importance value of 3.1. This is a great example of how large stature trees can have significant impacts on an urban forest with minimal representation. 7 Resource Structure Table 2: Importance Value (IV) of Prevalent Species in Rohnert Park (Representing > 1 %) Sequoia sempervirens 5,222 32.58 58.44 91.02 Quercus agrifolia 1,127 7.03 5.36 12.39 Platanus x hybrida 1,011 6.31 6.61 12.92 Pistacia chinensis 947 5.91 0.51 6.42 Salix spp. 671 4.19 1.97 6.16 Quercus rubra 481 3.00 1.13 4.13 Pyrus calleryana 454 2.83 1.09 3.93 Acer rubrum 446 2.78 0.42 3.20 Ligustrum lucidum 354 2.21 1.36 3.57 Liriodendron tulipifera 350 2.18 0.44 2.63 Fraxinus angustifolia 319 1.99 1.54 3.53 Liquidambar styraciflua 295 1.84 1.18 3.02 Gleditsia triacanthos 242 1.51 0.95 2.46 Lagerstroemia indica 238 1.48 0.09 1.57 Prunus cerasifera 173 1.08 0.19 1.27 Platanus occidentalis 162 1.01 1.08 2.09 Quercus lobata 161 1.00 0.78 1.78 all other species 3,374 21.05 16.86 37.91 Canopy Cover Rohnert Park covers an area of 4,480 acres (7.0 square miles). i-Tree Eco estimates that community trees provide approximately 513.4 canopy acres which accounts for nearly 11.5% of the total land area. Stocking Level Currently, Rohnert Park's community tree resource has 963 available planting sites, including 841 vacant sites and 122 stumps. Considering the tree inventory identified 16,027 existing trees and 963 available planting sites, there are 16,990 total planting sites for community trees. As a result, the estimated stocking level for Rohnert Park's community tree resource is currently 94.3%. Resource Structure 8 Relative Age Distribution Age distribution can be approximated by considering the DBH range of the overall inventory and of individual species. Trees with smaller diameters tend to be younger. It is important to note that palms do not increase in DBH over time and that height more accurately correlates to age. The distribution of individual tree ages within a tree population influences present and future costs as well as the flow of benefits. An ideally aged population allows managers to allocate annual maintenance costs uniformly over many years and assures continuity in overall tree canopy coverage and associated benefits. A desirable distribution has a high proportion of young trees to offset establishment and age -related mortality as the percentage of older trees declines over time (Richards, 1982/83). This ideal, albeit uneven, distribution suggests a large fraction of trees (-40%) should be young, with a DBH less than eight inches, while only 10% should be in the large diameter classes (>24 inches DBH). The age distribution of Rohnert Park's community tree resource shows a nearly ideal population distribution with slight under representation in age classes 0-4 inches and greater than 36 inches. A total of 34.0% of all trees are less than 8 inches in diameter and 17.7% are greater than 24 inches in diameter (Figure 3). 25% 20% Ideal Age Distribution Total Population 0-4 4-8 8-12 12-18 18-24 24-30 30-36 36-42 42-48 48+ DBH Class (inches) Figure 3: Community Tree Inventory Relative Age Distribution Relative age distribution can also be evaluated for individual species. The 10 most prevalent community tree species are compared against the ideal distribution in Figure 4. Currently P(atanus x hybrida (London planetree) and Sa(ix spp. (willow species) most resemble an ideal age distribution, though are more heavily weighted in the 8-toll 8 inch DBH classes than the ideal. Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood) has significant representation in established and mature DBH ranges (>18 inches DBH) and relatively few smaller trees. While the age distribution of this species does not mirror the ideal age distribution, it still has a stable population. The age distribution of Pistacia chinensis (Chinese pistache), Quercus rubra (northern red oak), Liriodendron tulipifera (tulip tree) and Acer rubrum (red maple) show a high proportion of trees in smaller diameter classes (<8 inches DBH). While the age distribution of these species does not mirror the ideal age distribution, over time and with successional plantings, their populations may begin to mirror the ideal age distribution. 9 Resource Structure 80% 70% 60% 20% 10% 0% 80% 70% = 60% O 50% 3 C 40% a c 30% 20% 10% 0% Ideal Age Distribution Sequoia sempervirens Quercus agrifolia Platanus x hybrida Pistocia chinensis Salix spp. 0-4 4-8 8-12 12-18 18-24 24-30 30-36 36-42 42-48 48+ DBH Class (inches) Ideal Age Distribution Quercus rubra Pyrus calleryana Acer rubrum Ligustrum lucidum Liriodendron tulipifera 0-4 4-8 8-12 12-18 18-24 24-30 30-36 36-42 42-48 48+ DBH Class (inches) Figure 4: Relative Age Distribution of Rohnert Park's Top 10 Most Prevalent Species Analysis of the age distribution of prevalent species can help resource managers to understand and foresee maintenance activities and budgetary needs. In addition to informing managers of the economics of prevalent species, managers can use the age distribution to determine trends in plantings and adopt strategies for species selection in the years to come. Resource Structure 10 Tree Condition & Relative Performance Tree condition is an indication of how well trees managed and how well they are performing in the region and in each site -specific environment (e.g., street, median, parking lot, etc.). Condition ratings can help managers anticipate maintenance and funding needs. In addition, tree condition is an important factor for the calculation of resource benefits. A condition rating of good assumes that a tree has no major structural problems, no significant mechanical damage, and may have only minor aesthetic, insect, disease, or structural problems, and is in good health. When trees performing at their peak, as those rated as good or b the benefits they provide are maximized. are t Fair 41-60% 42.5 % Poor 21-40% 4.7 % Very Poor 6-20% air <1% Dead 0-5% 1.3 % Figure 5: Tree Condition Excellent 81-100% <1% Based on the inventory data (2024), community trees in Rohnert Park are in overall fair or better condition (93.3%). Approximately 4.7% of trees are in poor condition and 1.3% are dead (Figure 5). Relative Performance Index The relative performance index (RPI) is one way to further analyze the condition and suitability of a specific tree species. The RPI provides an urban forest manager with a detailed perspective on how different species perform compared to each other. The index compares the condition ratings of each tree species with the condition rating of every other tree species within the inventory. An RPI of 1.0 or better indicates that the species is performing as well or better than average. An RPI value below 1.0 indicates that the species is underperforming in comparison to the rest of the population. Among Rohnert Park's most prevalent tree species, 10 have an RPI of 1 or greater (Table 3). Pistacia chinensis (Chinese pistache) has the highest RPI at 1.06 whereas Solix spp. (willow species) has the lowest RPI of 0.87. The most abundant species, Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood) has an RPI of 1.03. The RPI can be a useful tool for urban forest managers as an indicator of environmental suitability for species selection. If a community has been planting two or more new species, the RPI can be used to compare their relative performance. If the RPI indicates that one is performing relatively poorly, managers may decide to reduce or even stop planting that species and subsequently save money on both planting stock and replacement costs. For example, Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust) has an RPI of 0.90 and Quercus ilex (holly oak) has an RPI of 1.08. The data indicates that both medium/large statured species have representation similar to an ideal age distribution. Between the two species, the RPI indicates that Q. ilex is performing better in Rohnert Park. The RPI enables managers to look at the performance of long-standing species as well. Established species with an RPI of 1.00 or greater have performed well over time. These top performers should be retained, and planted, as a healthy proportion of the overall population. It is important to keep in mind that, because RPI is based on condition at the time of the inventory, it may not reflect cosmetic or nuisance issues, especially seasonal issues that are not threatening the health or structure of the trees. 11 Resource Structure Table 3: Relative Performance Index of Most Prevalent Species Sequoia sempervirens 5,222 32.58 0.10 64.60 29.90 2.90 0.80 1.80 1.03 Quercus agrifolia 1,127 7.03 0.30 53.30 44.00 2.40 0.00 0.00 1.02 Platanus x hybrida 1,011 6.31 1.80 62.70 33.00 2.20 0.10 0.20 1.05 Pistacia chinensis 947 5.91 0.00 67.80 31.00 0.80 0.20 0.10 1.06 Salix spp. 671 4.19 0.00 9.50 70.60 17.30 0.70 1.80 0.87 Quercus rubra 481 3.00 0.40 54.10 40.70 3.10 0.60 1.00 1.01 Pyrus calleryana 454 2.83 0.00 21.60 73.80 4.20 0.20 0.20 0.94 Acer rubrum 446 2.78 0.00 63.50 33.90 1.80 0.40 0.40 1.04 Ligustrum lucidum 354 2.21 0.00 31.60 59.30 6.20 1.70 1.10 0.95 Liriodendron tulipifera 350 2.18 0.00 56.90 38.60 2.00 0.60 2.00 1.02 Fraxinus angustifolia 319 1.99 0.00 6.90 76.50 14.70 0.90 0.90 0.88 Liquidambar styraciflua 295 1.84 0.00 40.30 54.20 4.70 0.70 0.00 0.98 Gleditsia triacanthos 242 1.51 0.00 71.90 19.80 7.90 0.00 0.40 1.05 Lagerstroemia indica 238 1.48 0.40 54.20 39.50 2.50 1.70 1.70 1.01 Prunus cerasifera 173 1.08 0.00 24.90 63.60 10.40 0.60 0.60 0.93 Platanus occidentalis 162 1.01 0.00 24.10 75.90 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.96 Quercus lobata 161 1.00 0.60 60.90 33.50 4.30 0.00 0.60 1.03 all other species 3,374 21.05 0.09 36.13 53.26 7.47 0.77 2.29 0.95 An RPI value less than 1.00 may be indicative of a species that is not well -adapted to local conditions. Poorly adapted species are more likely to present increased safety and maintenance issues. Species with an RPI less than 1.00 should be carefully considered before being selected for future planting choices. However, prior to selecting or deselecting trees based on RPI alone, managers should consider the age distribution of the species, among other factors. A species that has an RPI of less than 1.00 but also has a significant number of trees in larger DBH classes, may simply be exhibiting signs of population senescence. For example, Pinus radiata (Monterey pine), has an RPI of 0.86. With a relatively large number of mature trees, (44.0% are larger than 24 inches in diameter) the low RPI is likely reflective of many of these trees reaching the end of their useful life. A complete table, with RPI values for all species, is included in Appendix C. RPI is also helpful for identifying underused species that are demonstrating reliable performance. Species with an RPI value greater than 1.00 and an established age distribution may indicate their suitability for the local environment. These species should receive consideration for additional planting. Currently there are no good examples close to an ideal age distribution. Managers can expand the current species pallet with select species projected to do well in the area and continue to monitor results. Liriodendron tulipifera (tulip tree) represents 2.2% of the population, has an RPI of 1.02, but is heavily represented by trees less than 8 inches in diameter. Although expected to do well in Rohnert Park, the current age distribution cannot substantiate the high RPI as there are not enough mature trees, resulting in a lack of evidence for long-term performance.

In other words, if there is a single individual that has a high RPI (greater than 1.00) but is the only representative of the species at the site, additional trial plantings of the species can help test the accuracy of the RPI. It is important to use RPI as one of many factors for species selection. Species that have historically experienced major issues in Rohnert Park should be avoided and species with a proven track record should be favored. Replacement Value Replacement value accounts for the historical investment in trees over their lifetime and is a way of describing the value of a tree population (and/or average value per tree) at a given time. In other words, the value of a tree is equal to the cost of replacing the tree in its current state (Cullen, 2002). There are several methods available for obtaining a fair and reasonable perception of a tree's value (Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers, 2018; Watson, 2002). For this analysis, the replacement value reflects current population numbers and is based on the valuation procedures of the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers, which uses tree species, diameter, condition, and location information (Nowak et al 2002a; 2002b). To replace all 16,027 community trees in Rohnert Park with trees of equivalent size and condition would cost nearly $61.1 million, an average of $3,810 per tree (Table 5). Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood) has the highest replacement value of approximately $40.2 million and accounts for the greatest proportion of the overall replacement value (65.8%). This can be attributed to species representation in the inventory, the large stature, and well -established age distribution. The replacement value for Rohnert Park's community tree resource reflects the vital importance of these assets to the community. With proper care and maintenance, the value will continue to increase over time. It is important to recognize that replacement values are separate and distinct from the value of annual benefits produced by this resource and in some instances the replacement value of a tree may be greater than or less than the benefits that a particular tree may provide. 13 Resource Structure Table 5.

The amount and distribution of leaf surface area is the driving force behind the ability of the urban forest to produce benefits for the community (Clark et al, 1997). Healthy trees are vigorous, often producing more leaf surface area each year. Quantifiable benefits from the urban forest are based on the environmental functions trees perform. In addition to air quality benefits, trees slow down stormwater and remove pollutants, reducing the impact of stormwater as well as management costs for municipalities. Tree growth sequesters carbon in woody stems and roots. The economic value of these ecosystem functions is calculated in terms of both volume and cost savings. It is important to note that this assessment accounts for only a small part of all the benefits trees provide. Trees are known to contribute significantly to ecosystems, human health and welfare, and to have positive impacts on economies. Without formulas and peer -reviewed consensus, estimates of the dollar of the value of these benefits are not currently possible. Annual environmental benefits tend to increase with an increase in the number and size of healthy trees (Nowak et al, 2002). Through proper management, urban forest values can be increased over time as trees mature and with improved longevity and as stocking levels are increased. Climate, pests, and weather events can cause values to decrease if the amount of healthy tree cover declines. Excluding energy benefits, the community tree resource provides quantifiable annual environmental benefits valued at approximately $77,098 (Appendix B). Air Quality Urban trees improve air quality in five fundamen- ways: • Absorption of gaseous pollutants such as ozone (03), sulfur dioxide (S02), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) through leaf surfaces • Reduction of emissions from power generation by reducing energy consumption • Increase of oxygen levels through photosynthesis NO2 5117 <1% 12 7 1/0 • Transpiration of water and shade Figure 6. Annual Air Pollution Benefits provision, resulting in lower local air temperatures, thereby reducing ozone levels Interception of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PMio) Air pollutants are known to contribute adversely to human health. Trees decrease the amount of air pollutants in the atmosphere, which can reduce the incidence of numerous negative health effects (Table 6). Ozone is an air pollutant that is particularly harmful to human health. Rohnert Park's community trees reduce adverse health effects associated with ozone by 8 incidents annually, a value of $22,341 (Table 7). Ozone forms when nitrogen oxide from fuel combustion and volatile organic gases from evaporated petroleum products react in the presence of sunshine. In the absence of cooling effects provided by trees, higher temperatures contribute to ozone formation. In addition to 15 Resource Benefits consequences to human health, short-term increases in ozone concentrations are statistically associated with increased tree mortality for 95 large US cities (Bell et al, 2004).

Blank values indicate that incidents and their associated values are note estimated for that pollutant and/or health effect (i-Tree Eco User Manual, 2021). 4 PM2.5 is particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (a subset of PMio). These microscopic particles are significant air pollutants and are generally more impactful on human health than PM,o (i-Tree Eco User Manual, 2019). Resource Benefits 16 As a population, Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood) is the greatest contributor to pollutant deposition and interception accounting for 58.4% of the benefit (Table 8). This is directly related to the species prevalence in the overall population and contributions to the overall leaf area (58.4%). The value of air pollutants removed by community trees is $42,226, an average of $2.63 per tree. Among prevalent species Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood $4.73/tree), Platanus occidentalis (American sycamore, $2.81/tree), and Platanus x hybrida (London planetree, $2.76/tree) remove the most pollutants on average per tree (Figure 7). Combined, these three species provide 70.4% of the annual benefit, a total of $29,731 annually. Trees produce oxygen during photosynthesis, and community trees in Rohnert Park produce an estimated 401.8 tons of oxygen annually. Additionally, trees contribute to energy savings by reducing air pollutant emissions (NO2, PM2.5, 5O2, and VOCs) that result from energy production. $5.00 $4.73 $4.00 a a + * $3.00 $2.81 $2.76 a oa $2.04 $2.04 $2.00 Q $1.00 $0.00 Sequoia sempervirens Platanus occidentalis Platanus x hybrida Quercus lobota Fraxinus angustifolia Species Figure 7: Top 5 Species for Air Pollution Removal Benefits While trees do a great deal to absorb air pollutants (especially ozone and particulate matter), they also negatively contribute to air pollution. Trees emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which also contribute to ozone and carbon monoxide formation. The i-Tree Eco analysis accounts for these VOC emissions in the air quality cumulative benefit. Trees in Rohnert Park are estimated to emit 6,374 pounds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (3,295 pounds of isoprene and 3,079 pounds of monoterpenes) annually. Emissions vary based on species characteristics (e.g., some genera such as oaks are high isoprene emitters) and amount of leaf biomass. The highest volume of VOC emissions is generated by Quercus agrifolia (coast live oak), accounting for approximately 30.2% of the overall emissions, due to their size (7.0% of overall leaf area) and species attributes. Regardless, the net air quality benefit of Q. agrifolia is positive. Air quality impacts of trees are complex, and the i-Tree Eco software models these interactions to help urban forest managers evaluate the true impact of urban trees on Rohnert Park's air quality. The cumulative and interactive effects of trees on climate, pollution removal, VOCs, and power plant emissions determine the net impact of trees on air pollution. Local urban forest management decisions also can help improve air quality by prioritizing tree species recognized for their ability to improve air quality and planting next to large traffic corridors. 17 Resource Benefits Table 8: Annual Air Quality Benefits by Most Prevalent Species Sequoia sempervirens 5,222 32.58 1.91 24,677.31 58.44 4.73 Quercus agrifolia 1,127 7.03 0.18 2,261.48 5.36 2.01 Platanus x hybrida 1,011 6.31 0.22 2,791.76 6.61 2.76 Pistacia chinensis 947 5.91 0.02 216.66 0.51 0.23 Salix spp. 671 4.19 0.06 831.37 1.97 1.24 Quercus rubra 481 3.00 0.04 476.09 1.13 0.99 Pyrus calleryana 454 2.83 0.04 461.70 1.09 1.02 Acer rubrum 446 2.78 0.01 177.53 0.42 0.40 Ligustrum lucidum 354 2.21 0.04 573.96 1.36 1.62 Liriodendron tulipifera 350 2.18 0.01 187.39 0.44 0.54 Fraxinus angustifolia 319 1.99 0.05 649.63 1.54 2.04 Liquidambar styraciflua 295 1.84 0.04 498.38 1.18 1.69 Gleditsia triacanthos 242 1.51 0.03 401.79 0.95 1.66 Lagerstroemia indica 238 1.48 0.00 36.70 0.09 0.15 Prunus cerasifera 173 1.08 0.01 81.80 0.19 0.47 Platanus occidentalis 162 1.01 0.04 455.70 1.08 2.81 Quercus lobata 161 1.00 0.03 328.82 0.78 2.04 all other species 3,374 21.05 0.47 71118 17.86 275 Total 16,027 100% 3.28 $42,226 100% Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Reductions As environmental awareness continues to increase, conversations around global warming and the effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are increasing. As energy from the sun (sunlight) strikes the Earth's surface it is reflected into space as infrared radiation (heat). GHGs absorb some of this infrared radiation and trap heat in the atmosphere, modifying the temperature of the Earth's surface. Many chemical compounds in the Earth's atmosphere act as GHGs, including carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, and human -made (gases/aerosols). As GHGs increase, the amount of energy radiated back into space is reduced, and more heat is trapped in the atmosphere. An increase in the average temperature of the Earth may result in changes in weather, sea levels, and land -use patterns, commonly referred to as "climate change" (NASA, 2020). Because urban trees use carbon as a building component for wood and foliar growth, they can help offset carbon emissions and should be recognized as a part of a community's solution for meeting carbon offset goals identified in climate action plans and other environmental policies. i-Tree tools can be used to estimate the GHG and carbon sequestration benefits of tree planting projects (California Air Resource Board, 2020). Urban trees reduce atmospheric CO2 in two ways: • Directly, through growth and the sequestration of CO2 in wood, foliar biomass, and soil • Indirectly, by lowering the demand for heating and air conditioning, thereby reducing the emissions associated with electric power generation and natural gas consumption. Resource Benefits 18 To date, Rohnert Park's community trees are estimated to be storing 9,364 tons of carbon (CO2) in woody and foliar biomass valued at nearly $1.6 million. Annually, the community tree resource directly sequesters an additional 150.7 tons of carbon valued at $25,701 with an average value of $1.60 per tree (Table 9). Among prevalent species, Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood, $2.54/tree), Gleditsia triacanthos (honeylocust, $2.06/tree), and Pyrus calleryona (Callery pear, $1.49/tree) provide the greatest annual per -tree benefits to atmospheric carbon removal, sequestering more than 84.7 tons of carbon annually (Figure 8). These three species account for 56.2% of overall carbon benefit and 36.9% of the overall population. $3.00 $2.54 $2.50 $2.06 $2.00 $1.49 $1.45 $1.50 $1.34 $1.00 $0.50 $0.00 Sequoia sempervirens Gleditsia triacanthos Pyrus calleryana Quercus lobata Platanus occidentalis Species Figure 8.

Healthy urban trees reduce the amount of runoff and pollutant loading in receiving waters in three primary ways: • Leaves and branch surfaces intercept and store rainfall, thereby reducing runoff volumes and delaying the onset of peak flows Root growth and decomposition increase the capacity and rate of soil infiltration by rainfall and reduce overland flow Transpiration • Tree canopies reduce soil erosion and surface flows by diminishing the impact of raindrops on bare soil Rohnert Park's community tree resource is estimated to contribute to the avoidance of more than 1 million gallons of stormwater runoff annually through the interception of precipitation on the leaves and bark of trees for an average of 64.0 gallons per tree (Table 9). The total value of this benefit is $9,127 annually, an average of $0.57 per tree. Precipitation Canopy Interception & Evaporation Imppervious Y Surface Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood) Evapotranspiration provides 58.4% of the estimated total avoided runoff and provides the most per tree benefit of $1.03 (Table 10, Figure 10). Their age Infiltration Runoff' distribution and stature allow them to provide a larger benefit in comparison to other species. In contrast, Lagerstroemia indica (crape myrtle), Roots Take Up 5oil Moisture, which represents 1.5% of the population, Increasing Runoff Storage Potential reduces around 0.1% of the estimated total avoided runoff. This small stature species is limited in Figure 9: Trees Reduce Stormwater Runoff its ability to intercept Stormwater because 91.6% of the population is less than 8 inches DBH. As this species is a small stature tree and does not grow much bigger and benefits are not likely to grow significantly. Characteristics that contribute to greater stormwater capture include large leaves, broad or dense canopies, and furrowed bark. As trees grow, the benefits that they provide tend to grow as well. Some species provide more benefits than others, based on their architecture and leaf morphology. Other trees have characteristics that hinder their ability to be strong contributors to stormwater runoff reduction, including trees with smaller leaves and thinner canopy (i.e. less leaf surface area).

Heat islands are associated with an increase in hardscape and impervious surfaces. Trees and other vegetation within an urbanized environment help reduce the heat island effect by lowering air temperatures 5°F (3°C) compared with outside of the green space (Chandler, 1965). On a larger scale, temperature differences of more than 9°F (5°C) have been observed between city centers without adequate canopy coverage and more vegetated suburban areas (Akbari et al, 1997). The relative importance of these effects depends upon the size and configuration of trees and other landscape elements (McPherson, 1993). Tree spacing, crown spread, and vertical distribution of leaf area each influence the transport of warm air and pollutants along streets and out of urban canyons. Trees reduce conductive heat loss from buildings by reducing air movement into buildings and against conductive surfaces (e.g., glass, metal siding). Trees can reduce wind speed and the resulting air infiltration by up to 50%, translating into potential annual heating savings of 25% (Heisler, 1986). Electricity & Natural Gas Reductions Energy reduction metrics are calculated using data on tree distance and direction from buildings. The annual energy reductions from Rohnert Park's community trees were not calculated because this data is not currently captured in the inventory database. However, trees in Rohnert Park contribute to electric and natural gas savings through shading and climate buffering effects. Resource Benefits 22 Aesthetic, Property Value, & Socioeconomic Benefits Trees provide beauty in the urban landscape, privacy and screening, improved human health, a sense of comfort and place, and habitat for urban wildlife. Research shows that trees promote better business by stimulating more frequent and extended shopping and a willingness to pay more for goods and parking (Wolf, 2007). In residential areas, the values of these benefits are captured as a percentage of the value of the property on which a tree stands. There is no current model for calculating the aesthetic benefits of an urban forest. Although, there are many indicators that suggest trees and tree canopy cover contribute significantly to quality of life and community well-being. It is important to acknowledge that this assessment does not account for all the benefits provided by the tree resource. Some benefits are intangible and/or difficult to quantify, such as: • Impacts on psychological and physical health and wellness • Increases in tourism revenue • Quality of life • Wildlife habitat • Socio-economic impacts • Increases in property values Empirical evidence of these benefits does exist (Wolf, 2007; Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989; Ulrich, 1986), but there is limited knowledge about the physical processes at work and the complex nature of interactions make quantification imprecise. Tree growth and mortality rates are highly variable. A true and full accounting of benefits and investments must consider variability among sites (e.g., tree species, growing conditions, maintenance practices), as well as variability in tree growth. In other words, trees are worth far more than what one can ever quantify! Calculating Tree Benefits While all these tree benefits are provided by the community forest, it can be useful to understand the contribution of just one tree. Individuals can calculate the benefits of individual trees to their property by using i-Tree Design (design.itreetools.org). Annual Benefits of Most Prevalent Species It is important to keep in mind that a benefits analysis provides a snapshot of the community tree inventory as it exists today. The calculated benefits are based on the size and condition of existing trees. To provide greater context for the overall per tree and per species benefits of the most prevalent tree species (Figure 10, Table 11), and to determine if these benefits are a true indicator of performance, the age distribution and stature of the species must also be considered (Table 1, Figure 4). The most prevalent tree species in Rohnert Park's community tree resource, Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood, 32.6%), is providing the highest annual benefit, a value of $43,311. The high annual benefit is attributable to its prevalence in the population, mature age distribution, and stature (Figure 11). Sequoia sempervirens is providing the highest per tree benefit, an average of $8.29 per tree. The third most prevalent tree species in Rohnert Park's community tree resource, Platanus x hybrida (London planetree, 6.3%) is providing a value of $4,616, which is attributable to its large stature and 23 Resource Benefits age distribution (Figure 11). Among the prevalent species, Lagerstroemia indica (crape myrtle) provides the least amount in annual benefits ($152.48) and the lowest per tree benefit (average of $0.64 per tree). The majority of L. indica measure less than 8 inches in diameter. Many of these trees are likely mature and the annual per tree benefits are unlikely to increase significantly over time.

Individual components of the environmental benefits include improved air quality $42,226 (54.8%), carbon reduction of $25,701 (33.3%), and stormwater management for $9,172 (11.9%). Annually, community trees provide a total benefit of $77,098, a value of $4.81 per tree and $1.88 per capita. Resource Benefits 26 Pest and Pathogen Threats Management of pests and disease organisms can be a challenge in any urban forest. In some cases, a pest or disease can result in significant tree damage or loss and/or be costly to manage. Involvement in the global economy, close proximity to major ports, and a highly mobile human population increase the risk of an invasive pest or pathogen introduction into Rohnert Park. To further investigate the risk of pests and pathogens, i-Tree Eco identifies the susceptibility of tree populations to 37 emerging and existing pests and pathogens in the United States (Appendix B). According to the analysis, 14,689 (91.7%) of Rohnert Park's community trees are susceptible to the included pests and pathogens and the potential risk is estimated at $58.3 million. The pests and pathogens identified as most relevant to Rohnert Park are included in Table 12. Anticipating and monitoring for these threats is an important part of urban forest management. According to the analysis, the pests of greatest concern for Rohnert Park's community forest are threats oak species (Quercus spp.) and include sudden oak death and the polyphagous shot hole borer. Sudden oak death (caused by the pathogen Phytophthora ramorum) is documented in Sonoma County (California Oak Mortality Taskforce, 2020). In susceptible hosts, the pathogen can become systemic and girdle trees as quickly as one year after infection (Daugherty and Hung, 2020). Of Rohnert Park's community trees, 65.9% are at risk to sudden oak death. The polyphagous shot hole borer (Euwallacea nov. sp.) is involved in a disease called Fusarium dieback. The beetles introduce fungi, some of which are tree pathogens that disrupt the flow of water and nutrients. The damage causes cankers, branch dieback, and over time can kill the tree (Eskalen, 2018). The polyphagous shot hole borer has been detected in southern California, but this pest may have the potential to spread northward because of its large host range (consisting of more than 260 plant species) and ability to colonize healthy or stressed trees. An estimated 27% of trees in Rohnert Park are hosts to polyphagous shot hole borer, a susceptible replacement value of over $13.3 million. The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma dedcatula) is an invasive insect first documented in Pennsylvania in 2014 with more recent infestations in neighboring states. Spotted lanternfly is considered a nuisance pest due to the astounding populations it can reach and the negative impacts it can have on landscape tree plantings and economically important crops. This species uses its piercing -sucking mouthparts to feed on plant sap which results in wilting, reduced vigor, and honeydew formation that can promote the growth of sooty mold, and/or fungal mats (Penn State Extension, n.d.). Spotted lanternfly is a generalist feeder, with over 70 documented hosts. Although not present in California, spotted lanternfly is a potential threat to many species such as maple (Acer), walnut (Juglans), birch (Betula), willow (Salix), and apple (Malus). The host range of spotted lanternfly narrows in the adult stage when tree of heaven (Ailanthus) and grape (Vitis) are the preferred reproductive hosts. Defoliating moths, such as the winter moth (Operophtera brumata), are not yet present in California, but they threaten a range of tree hosts present in Rohnert Park (9.9% trees susceptible). During outbreaks, the feeding damage weakens the tree host, and renders it more vulnerable to other pests and diseases (Collins, 1996). Winter moth has the potential to cause an estimated $5.1 million in damages to Rohnert Park's community trees. 27 Pest and Pathogen Threats Sudden Oak Death Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer Spotted Lanternfly Winter Moth Asian Longhorned Beetle Oak Wilt Browntail Moth Goldspotted Oak Borer Large Aspen Tortrix Aspen Leafminer Forest Tent Caterpillar Emerald Ash Borer Southern Pine Beetle Pine Shoot Beetle Sirex Wood Wasp Thousand Canker Disease Butternut Canker Laurel Wilt Armillaria Root Disease Mediterranean Oak Borer Heterobasidion Root Disease Dutch Elm Disease Jack Pine Budworm Red Pine Scale Western Spruce Budworm Beech Bark Disease Black Stain Root Disease Dogwood Anthracnose Mountain Pine Beetle Spruce Beetle Spruce Budworm White Pine Blister Rust Douglas -fir Black Stain Root Disease Northern Spruce Engraver Pine Black Stain Root Disease Western Bark Beetle Western Pine Beetle Table 12: Pest & Pathogen Threats to Rohnert Park Phytophthora ramorum Euwallacea nov. sp.

Following Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocol and best management practices when preparing for and addressing pests and diseases can help to minimize their economic, health, and environmental consequences (Wiseman and Raupp, 2016). Some management practices include: • Obtain current information on emergent pests and pathogens • Increase understanding of the biology of the pest and pathogen as well as the tree symptoms that indicate infestation/infection • Identify procedures and protocols that will be followed in the case of an introduced pest or pathogen • Complete training and licensing in the case of pesticide or fungicide use • Plant tree species that are resistant or tolerant to identified pest and pathogen threats • Choose healthy, vigorous nursery stock • Diversify plantings at the genus level, as many pests threaten several species within a genus • Prevent the movement of felled tree materials that may be harboring pests or pathogens such as untreated logs, firewood, and woodchip 29 Pest and Pathogen Threats Resource Maintenance Needs Appropriate and timely tree care can substantially increase the lifespan of a tree. When trees live longer, they provide greater benefits. As individual trees mature and aging trees are replaced, the overall value of the tree resource and the amount of benefits provided grow as well. However, this vital living resource is vulnerable to a host of stressors and requires ecologically sound and sustainable best management practices to ensure a continued flow of benefits for future generations. During the inventory process, maintenance needs, tree defects, and inspection needs were recorded for all community trees (Tables 13, 14, and 15). All community trees were given some type of maintenance task to manage the resource more proactively and better predict future funding needs. Maintenance Needs Trees needing some form of maintenance had specific treatments recommended. Trees in good condition with minimal defects were assigned large or small tree routine prune. The most common pruning treatment was for routine prune (small tree and large tree 18.1 % and 70.7% of the population, respectively). Other pruning treatments were prescribed in lesser proportions and include 3.2% of the population in need of training pruning and 5.2% in need priority pruning (Table 13). Trees with structural defects require priority maintenance or removal. A total of 2.6% trees recommended for removal in the community tree resource. The significance of this workload is better understood by considering the size distribution of these trees. Smaller trees are typically less costly to remove and are also likely a lower risk to public safety.

Significant defects were recorded on a total of 63.9% of trees. The most common defects are poor structure (22.2%), dead /dying branches (8.1%), and improper branch attachments (5.1%) (Table 14). Trees with structural defects require priority maintenance or removal. Those trees in good condition with minimal defects could be assigned large or small tree routine prune. All community trees should be given some type of maintenance task to ensure trees are receiving routine and proactive maintenance.

In Rohnert Park, 86.4% of community trees did not require clearance maintenance. Vehicle Clearence was recommended for 9.3% of trees and Pedestrian Clearance was recommended for 2.6% of trees (Table 15). Along with clearance needs, trees may need further inspection to assess risk posed to the public or property. While most trees did not require further inspection (97.3%), a subset were recommended for Level 2 Risk Assessment, Annual Inspection, or Insect/Disease Monitoring (Table 16). Of the 322 trees that are recommended for Level 2 Inspection 174 are also recommended for removal. See Appendix B for risk assessment methodology (Tables 19 and 20). Inspections and risk assessments are crucial to maintenance programs to proactively manage trees before costly failures occur and should be conducted annually. Trees should be selected specifically for the space available with characteristics favorable to an urban environment.

Trees are one of the few community assets that have the potential to increase in value with time and proper management. Adequate protection and planning, and appropriate and timely tree care can substantially increase lifespan and benefit yield. When trees live longer, they provide greater benefits. As individual trees mature, and failing trees are replaced, the overall value of the community forest and benefits grow as well. However, this vital living resource is vulnerable to a host of stressors and ecologically sound and sustainable best management practices are required to ensure a healthy and safe community forest and a continued flow of benefits for future generations. Funding Rohnert Park's urban forestry staff provided estimated investment costs. Current funding levels are not adequate to support the necessary staffing and resources needed for all maintenance activities. The total annual cost of managing the community tree resource in Rohnert Park is approximately $93,928. Based on budget information from 2023 and 2024, in total, 25% of the costs are attributed to tree removal and to young tree care. In addition, 20% of the costs are attributed to annual pruning and to administration work. The remaining costs address maintenance and tree inspections (Table 18). Table 17. Quantifiable Benefits and Investments Pruning 18,786 1.17 0.46 Removals 23,482 1.47 0.57 Young Tree Care 23,482 1.47 0.57 Tree Inspections 4,696 0.29 0.11 Administration 18,786 1.17 0.46 Maintenance/Miscellaneous 4,696 0.29 0.11 Work Plan Work plans and planting plans provide a roadmap of annual maintenance needs for the community tree resource and the estimated funds necessary. They document the current inventory needs and do not account for changes in priority needs or community direction. Staff will continue to schedule work based on the highest priority. In other words, if a tree is recommended for a routine prune during the initial inventory collection, but a service request and/or further inspection indicates a heightened maintenance need, the priority will be reassessed. Rohnert Park's work plan is based on the maintenance needs identified in the 2024 tree inventory of 16,027 community trees. Rohnert Park's work plan schedules all priority maintenance for community trees over a 5-year maintenance cycle (Table 17). Priority maintenance should be addressed first including all priority work not completed in the first 5 years, once completed, routine maintenance should be addressed in future cycles. It is important to note that annual inspections should be completed on all trees to reassess defects and priority needs. 35 Tree Inventory Management Plan The work plan is divided as follows: All priority 1 pruning and large priority 1 removals are addressed in year 1. Years 2 through 4 address priority 1 pruning and small priority 1 removals. Year 5 addressed priority 2 pruning and priority 2 and 3 removals. Maintenance activities are defined as: • Priority pruning includes trees that have branch issues that could impact public safety. • Priority removal includes trees that have various defects, disease or are dying and need to be removed. • Training pruning includes pruning of young or medium -aged trees to improve tree and branch architecture. • Routine maintenance includes trees (14,232) recommended for large and small routine pruning as well as those recommended for "trim, poorly structured" and trees with no specific maintenance recommendation. • Tree removal and stump grinding includes all trees recommended for removal (419) and stump grinding (122).

Actual costs for tree maintenance and planting may vary from the provided estimates. Some reasons that costs may fluctuate include: • Unforeseen events (e.g., storm damage, pests, or pathogens) • Changes in tree condition and/or priority needs • Increases to service costs (an annual increase of 5% was estimated) • Modifications to maintenance or planting schedules • Some locations may require extra or more frequent maintenance (e.g., clearance and safety pruning along bus routes and areas of town that have higher pedestrian traffic such as parks and greenbelts, and unidentified cycle busters) • Other unforeseen circumstances 37 Tree Inventory Management Plan Table 18: 5-Year Work and Planting Plan Costs for Each Activity Priority Work Year 1 Priority Work Year 2 Priority Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 All Work Maintenance Activity Diameter Cost/tree #ofTrees Total Cost/tree #ofTrees Total Cost Cost/treeEstimated of • #ofTrees Total Cost 0-3talCost $ - 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ - 0 $ 0 $ 4-6 $ 0 $ $ 1 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 1 $ 7-12 $ 0 $ $ 10 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 10 $ 13 - 18 $ 0 $ $ 43 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 50 $ 93 $ Priority Pruning 19 - 24 $ 28 $ $ 1 $ $ 0 $ - $ 86 $ $ 50 $ 165 $ 25 - 32 $ 26 $ $ 0 $ $ 80 $ - $ 14 $ $ 0 $ 120 $ 33 - 36 $ 18 $ $ 13 $ $ 20 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 51 $ 37 - 42 $ 8 $ $ 23 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 31 $ 43 + $ 20 $ $ 9 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 29 $ 0-3 $0 24 $0 $0 60 $0 $0 60 $0 $0 60 $0 $0 60 $0 264 $0 Training Pruning 4-6 $0 35 $0 $0 0 $0 $0 0 $0 $0 0 $0 $0 0 $0 35 $0 7-12 $0 1 $0 $0 0 $0 $0 0 $0 $0 0 $0 $0 0 $0 1 $0 Activity Total(s) i i i i0 0-3 $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 0 $ 4-6 $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 0 $ 7-12 $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 0 $ 13-18 $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 0 $ Routine Pruning 19 - 24 $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 0 $ 25 - 32 $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 0 $ 33-36 $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 0 $ 37-42 $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 0 $ 43+ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 0 $ Activity Total(s) i i i 0-3 $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 0 $ 4-6 $ 2 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 14 $ 16 $ 7-12 $ 0 $ $ 19 $ $ 3 $ - $ 65 $ $ 25 $ 112 $ 13-18 $ 21 $ $ 1 $ $ 56 $ - $ 0 $ $ 14 $ 92 $ Priority Tree Removal 19 - 24 $ 22 $ $ 22 $ $ 6 $ - $ 0 $ $ 5 $ 55 $ 25 - 32 $ 14 $ $ 17 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 5 $ 36 $ 33 - 36 $ 3 $ $ 6 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 9 $ 37-42 $ 3 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ - $ 0 $ $ 1 $ 4 $ 43+ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 0 $ $ 1 $ 1 $ 0 -18 $ 10 $ $ 52 $ $ 21 $ - $ 0 $ $ 34 $ 55 $ Stump Grinding & Removal �18 - 36 $ 67 $ $ 28 $ $ 10 $ - $ 40 $ $ 6 $ 56 $ 36+ $ 3 $ $ 0 $ $ 9 $ - $ 0 $ $ 0 $ 9 $ Activity Total(s) :i :i i :0 Replacement Trees Xgal. $ 40 $ - $ - 40 $ - $ - 40 $ - $ - 40 $ - $ - 40 $ - 200 $ - Tree Inventory Management Plan 38 Planting Plan The city has a goal to increase canopy cover by 12%. To counter loss of canopy due to removals, tree death, and disease, the city will need to plant trees and monitor progress. There are 841 vacant sites, 419 removals, and 122 stumps in Rohnert Park. The goal should be to replace trees with the largest statured tree possible for each site. Based on the current replacement rate of 40 trees a year (Table 17), it would take over 34 years to reach 100% stocking rate. It's important to note that this number does not consider trees lost due to weather, disease, or natural life cycle. Tree Planting Strategies Documenting current canopy levels can serve as a benchmark for measuring progress toward targeted goals. A continued commitment to community tree planting will support the health and welfare of the city and the community at large. Based on this analysis DRG recommends: • Increase tree coverage by 12% by 2035. o Based on species and DBH data in the community tree resource, i-Tree Eco estimates the resource currently provides 513.4 acres of tree canopy. An additional 61.6 acres of new canopy could meet the goal. o Replace trees that are removed and plant trees in available planting sites to increase the stocking level, ideally 100%. • Increase genus and species diversity in new and replacement tree plantings to increase resiliency in the urban forest and reduce reliance on the most prevalent species. • Identify an overall goal for the representation of native trees in the inventory. o Plant native trees in priority areas, such as naturalized areas as defined by the General Plan 2040, to improve diversity, increase benefits, and further distribute the age distribution of inventoried trees. o Prioritize planting California native species to replace trees that have previously been removed or identified as dying where appropriate. • Use the largest stature tree possible where space allows to optimize urban forest benefits. • Consider successional planting of important species, as determined by relative performance index (RPI) and the relative age distribution. • Implement right tree, right place principles during tree selection and planting. • Identify planter size, soil type, and available water/irrigation to select the best space and species possible. • Prepare planting plans that help the city track the stocking level and species diversity of the community tree resource. • Promote tree planting on private property and provide education on maintenance to help preserve existing private canopy. • Consider alternative revenue sources like corporate sponsorships to fund tree planting. • Prioritize creating new planting spaces in areas with lower canopy cover. Tree Inventory Management Plan 40 Tree Maintenance Strategies Urban forest managers can better anticipate future trends with an understanding of the composition and structure of the tree population. Managers can also anticipate challenges and devise plans to optimize efficiency and anticipate budgetary needs. Performance data from this analysis can be used to make determinations regarding species selection, distribution, and maintenance policies. Maintenance needs can be used to plan a proactive and forward -looking approach to the care of community trees. Updates should continue to be incorporated into the inventory as regular maintenance is performed, including changes in the diameter and condition of existing trees. Current and complete inventory data will help staff to track maintenance activities and tree health more efficiently and will provide a strong basis for making informed management decisions. Based on maintenance needs and population structure from this analysis, DRG recommends the following management actions: • Schedule and assign high -priority tree work so it can be completed as soon as possible. • Prioritize large priority pruning and removals. o Priority 1 work is recommended to be completed in 12 months. o Priority 2 work is recommended to be completed in 24 months. o Priority 3 work is less urgent and should be completed after priority 1 and 2 work. • Adress highest priority work requests as they were received. • Schedule routine maintenance for all inventoried trees to proactively manage Rohnert Park's tree resource. o Complete training pruning for young trees in their 2nd and 5th year. o Follow industry standards to complete routine maintenance work in 5-7 years. • Regularly inspect trees to identify and mitigate structural and age -related defects to manage risk and reduce the likelihood of tree and branch failure. • Monitor species with the potential to become invasive (e.g., Schinus molle [California peppertree], Triadica sebifera [Chinese tallow], Eucalyptus globulus [blue gum eucalyptus]) and implement management strategies as needed. • Monitor species performance (e.g., health, structure, longevity, pests, and disease resistance) and increase resilience in the urban forest by planting species that perform well in local and regional conditions, including introducing new species that indicate promising traits. • Species that are adequately represented by established age distributions but lack recent plantings should be considered for more frequent care. • Inventory updates should be incorporated as regular maintenance is performed, including updating the diameter and condition of existing trees. • Follow integrated pest management and best management practices when monitoring for and dealing with pests and diseases. • Maintain and update the inventory database to include new tree plantings, removals, as well as changes in diameter and condition. • Consider adding information on distance and orientation to the nearest structure/building so that energy benefits can be calculated in future analyses. • Seek additional funding where possible to proactively manage the urban forest. 41 Tree Inventory Management Plan OP AW 4 � { V Appendix A: References Akbari, H., D.

The i-Tree Eco model uses inventory data, local hourly air pollution, and meteorological data to quantify the urban forest and its structure and benefits (Nowak & Crane, 2000), including: • Urban forest structure (e.g., genus composition, tree health, leaf area, etc.). • Amount of pollution removed hourly by the urban forest, and its associated percent air quality improvement throughout a year. Pollution removal is calculated for ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and particulate matter (<2.5 microns). • Total carbon stored and net carbon annually sequestered by the urban forest. • Structural value of the forest as a replacement cost. • Potential impact of infestations by pests or pathogen. Definitions and Calculations Avoided surface water runoff value is calculated based on rainfall interception by vegetation, specifically the difference between annual runoff with and without vegetation. Although tree leaves, branches, and bark may intercept precipitation and thus mitigate surface runoff, only the precipitation intercepted by leaves is accounted for in this analysis. The U.S. value of avoided runoff, $0.009/gallon, is based on the U.S. Forest Service's Community Tree Guide Series (McPherson et al, 1999-2010; Peper et al, 2009; 2010; Vargas et al, 2007a-2008). Carbon emissions were calculated based on the total City carbon emissions from the 2010 US per capita carbon emissions (Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 2010) This value was multiplied by the population of Rohnert Park (40,971) to estimate total City carbon emissions. Carbon sequestration is removal of carbon from the air by plants. Carbon storage and carbon sequestration values are calculated based on $171 per short ton (EPA, 2015; Interagency Working Group on Social Cost of Carbon, 2015). Carbon storage is the amount of carbon bound up in the above -ground and below -ground parts of woody vegetation. Carbon storage and carbon sequestration values are calculated based on $171 per ton (EPA, 2015; Interagency Working Group on Social Cost of Carbon, 2015). Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) is the diameter of the tree measured 4'5" above grade. Household emissions average is based on average electricity kWh usage, natural gas Btu usage, fuel oil Btu usage, kerosene Btu usage, LPG Btu usage, and wood Btu usage per household in 2009 (EIA, 2013; EIA, 2014), CO2, SO2, and NO3 power plant emission per KwH (Leonardo Academy, 2011), CO emission per kWh assumes 1/3 of one percent of C emissions is CO (EIA, 2014), PM10 emission per kWh (Layton 2004), CO2, NO3, SO2, and CO emission per Btu for natural gas, propane and butane (average used to represent LPG), Fuel #4 and #6 (average used to represent fuel oil and kerosene) (Leonardo Academy, 2011), CO2 emissions per Btu of wood (EIA, 2014), CO, NO3 and SO2 emission per Btu based on total emissions and wood burning (tons) from (British Columbia Ministry, 2005; Georgia Forestry Commission, 2009). Leaf area was estimated using measurements of crown dimensions and percentage of crown canopy missing. 47 Appendix B: Methods Monetary values ($) are reported in US dollars throughout the report Ozone (03) is an air pollutant that is harmful to human health. Ozone forms when nitrogen oxide from fuel combustion and volatile organic gases from evaporated petroleum products react in the presence of sunshine. In the absence of cooling effects provided by trees, higher temperatures contribute to ozone (03) formation. Pollution removal is calculated based on the prices of $1,488 per ton (carbon monoxide), $9,780 per ton (ozone), $939 per ton (nitrogen dioxide), $358 per ton (sulfur dioxide), $353,713 per ton (particulate matter less than 2.5 microns), and $6,996 per ton (particulate matter less than 10 microns) (Nowak et al., 2014). Potential pest impacts were estimated based on tree inventory information from the study area combined with i-Tree Eco pest range maps. The input data included species, DBH, total height, height to crown base, crown width, percent canopy missing, and crown dieback. In the model, potential pest risk is based on pest range maps and the known pest host species that are likely to experience mortality. Pest range maps for 2012 from the Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team (FHTET) (Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team, 2014) were used to determine the proximity of each pest to Sonoma County For the county, it was established whether the insect/disease occurs within the county, is within 250 miles of the county edge, is between 250 and 750 miles away, or is greater than 750 miles away. FHTET did not have pest range maps for Dutch elm disease and chestnut blight. The range of these pests was based on known occurrence and the host range, respectively (Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center; Worrall 2007). Due to the dates of some of these resources, pests may have encroached closer to the tree resource in recent years. Replacement value is based on the physical resource itself (e.g., the cost of having to replace a tree with a similar tree). Structural values were based on valuation procedures of the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers, which uses tree species, diameter, condition, and location information (Nowak et al 2002a; 2002b). Ton is equivalent to a U.S. short ton, or 2,000 pounds. Risk Assessment DRG evaluates risk and assigns a risk rating based on an assessment of the failure mode (i.e., branch, whole tree, codominant stem) with the most significant risk. The specified period for the risk assessment is one year. The risk part of this inventory and evaluation is to maintain compliance with the most recent standards and practices in the arboricultural industry. It is important to note that our inspections are "rapid assessments" and are meant to show a need for further study, and thus are not legally binding in any litigation. a. Likelihood of Failure. Identifies the most probable failure and rates the likelihood that structural defect(s) will result in failure based on observed current conditions. b. Likelihood of Impacting a Target. The rate of occupancy of targets within the target zone and any factors that could affect the failed tree as it falls towards the target. c. Consequences of Failure. The consequences of tree failure are based on the level of target and potential harm that may occur. Consequences can vary depending on the size of the defect, the distance of fall for the tree or limb, and any other factors that may protect a target from harm. Target values are subjective, but DRG staff try to assess them from our client's perspective. Appendix B: Methods 48 Occupancy Rates Constant: A target is present at nearly all times, 24 hrs/day, 7 days a week Frequent: The target zone is occupied for a large portion of a day or week. Occasional: The target zone is occupied by people or targets infrequently or irregularly. Rare: The target zone is not commonly used by people. Table 19: Likelihood of Failure Matrix LIKELIHOOD MATRIX Imminent Unlikely Somewhat Likely Very likely likely Probable Unlikely Unlikely Somewhat likely Likely Possible Unlikely Unlikely Unlikely Somewhat likely Improbable Unlikely Unlikely Unlikely Unlikely DRG's urban foresters estimate the risk rating by combining the likelihood of tree failure impacting a target and the consequences of failure as seen in the matrices shown to the left. Risk ratings are Low, Moderate, High, and Extreme. A Low -Risk tree poses a low overall level of risk. A Moderate -Risk tree may pose some threat, particularly during storm events or unusual weather. A High -Risk tree presents a high likelihood of tree or tree part failure, even during normal weather conditions. An Extreme Risk tree always poses a significant risk and probability of failure.

CITY OF ROHNERT PARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: January 28, 2025 Department Public Works Department Submitted By: Vanessa Garrett, Director of Public Works Prepared By: Eydie Tacata, Senior Public Works Analyst Agenda Title: Receive Informational Update on Capital Improvements Program (CIP); Discuss and Direct Staff on Planned FY 25-30 Projects; and Adopt a Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY 2024-25) CIP Budget to Appropriate $1,003,000 from Public Facilities Fee Fund (Fund 4250) for Snyder Lane/Keiser Avenue Intersection Improvements (CIP2201) Increase the Project Budget for CIP2201 from $2,400,000 to $3,403,000 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive informational update on Capital Improvements Program (CIP), adopt a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY 2024-25) CIP Budget to appropriate $1,003,000 from Public Facilities Fee Fund (Fund 4250) for Snyder Lane/Keiser Avenue Intersection Improvements (CIP2201) and increase the project budget for CIP2201 from $2,400,000 to $3,403,000. BACKGROUND: On June 25, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-053 approving the City's Operating Budget for FY 2024-25 and the FY 2024-25 CIP budget, which gave additional budget appropriations to seven (7) existing projects and carried over the budgets of the remaining capital projects, without appropriation of additional funds. Since that budget adoption, several CIP projects have been completed. Many are in -progress and a few will need budget amendments to increase the funds available to complete the projects. At this fiscal - year midpoint, staff wants to inform and prepare the Council for (1) anticipated CIP budget amendments that will likely be proposed in the current fiscal year and (2) consideration of the upcoming FY 2025-26 CIP budget and 5-Year CIP Plan. The discussion section below provides information for this purpose. A request for additional appropriations for the Snyder Lane/Keiser Avenue Intersection Improvements (CIP2201) is also included in this City Council item. The additional appropriations will allow the project to be completed. DISCUSSION: With this item, City staff wants to achieve the following objectives: oo Provide an early draft of the FY 2025-26 CIP Budget and Five -Year CIP Program so the City Council is aware of the City's capital needs to address a variety of infrastructure projects OAK #4907-7886-6704 v1 ITEM NO. 9.13. oo Give the City Council an opportunity to discuss the projects recommended for FY 2025-26 funding as well as planned FY 2027-2030 projects. Staff will bring back formal proposals for prioritizing and funding those projects in the future for Council action oo Adjust appropriations for one project (CIP 2201 Snyder Lane/Keiser Avenue Intersection Improvements) that can proceed in FY 2024-25, given a sufficient budget Five -Year CIP Plan Implements the General Plan, Other Plans, Various Agreements and City Council Priorities The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a multi -year planning instrument that drives the evaluation, identification, and funding of capital infrastructure projects for renovation, repair, and new construction. Capital projects range from road maintenance or construction; public facilities renovations and building systems upgrades; rehabilitation of recreational assets such as courts, fields, and playgrounds; and repair or replacement of water and sewer lines. While the CIP includes broad categories of assets as described above and more, utilities (water and sewer) infrastructure is not included in this informational update. The utilities CIP will be presented at a later date with a discussion about water rates. The CIP advances the City's vision through capital projects that implement the City Council's Strategic Priorities, General Plan, and Specific Plans (e.g., University District Specific Plan), planned developments (e.g., SOMO Village), and Priority Development Areas (e.g., Central Rohnert Park Priority Development Area, which includes Downtown). These plans — and the environmental documents that support them — identify capital projects to support new residents and businesses and also mitigate environmental or other impacts of land use intensification or expansion. Other documents such as the Public Facilities Finance Plan, development agreements, and memoranda of understanding with neighboring jurisdictions list capital projects that the City is obligated to fund, build or maintain, and are also tied to the various plans mentioned above. Local or regional planning documents like the Local Road Safety Plan, Active Transportation Plan, Parks Master Plan, or Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to name a few, also identify capital projects that carry out policies and objectives of the City's General Plan. Finally, projects included in the CIP may also be listed in strategic implementation plans of voter -approved initiatives (e.g., sales taxes for transportation or fire prevention and emergency services), or in bond measures and redevelopment tax proceeds obligation plans. Any of the projects in the above -named and similar plans may be in the Five -Year CIP, but ideally, the CIP includes projects that align with the City Council's Strategic Priorities and are informed by assessments and studies that develop more detailed project concepts and estimated costs. The City has several documents in place to assist with planning efforts such as: oo Preventative Maintenance Plan for streets: Every two years the City assesses the condition of all streets in the City, and a work plan is developed for future road maintenance projects. oo Building Condition Assessment: The City completed an assessment of 62 city -owned facilities, and identified and prioritized deferred maintenance across all the facilities. 00 Pathway Maintenance Plan: The City has completed a condition assessment of its pathways. The assessment assists in prioritizing the pathways that should be replaced. Significant Capital and Major Maintenance Programs are Included for Consideration in Proposed 5-Year CIP Plan and FY 2025-26 CIP Budget OAK #4907-7886-6704 v1 2 ITEM NO. 9.13. The draft Five -Year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) Budget: FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30 (Attachment A) lists existing and proposed capital projects, major maintenance projects/programs, and studies/assessments that inform CIP projects or programs. Shown on Attachment A are the following: oo Budgeted funding for projects already approved; oo Anticipated budget amendments for the remainder of the current fiscal year (FY 2024-25); oo Proposed project budgets in FY 2025-26 for existing and new projects; and oo "Planned" budgets in fiscal years FY 2026-27 through FY 2029-30. The 5-Year CIP incorporates projects that should be implemented in the planning timeframe. Staff also reviews available funding, prioritization criteria (e.g., critical safety needs, obligations via agreements, regulatory drivers, etc.), and foreseeable staff and outside resources available (e.g., consultant and contractors) to successfully deliver projects. The "planned" budget years (Years 2-5 of the 5-Year CIP) are not shown as fiscally -constrained; in other words, the estimated project budgets shown are what is needed to deliver the project and are not limited to actual funding available. This approach provides a more comprehensive picture of the challenge before the City to address deferred maintenance, expansion projects, and existing infrastructure preservation — sometimes competing for the same funding sources. Of note and described below are significant capital and major maintenance projects/programs included in the Five -Year CIP and not shown as fiscally -constrained. These are substantial in both scope and cost, requiring forward -looking budget planning as some of the funding is not yet secured. These are highlighted to increase the City Council's awareness of longer -term projects and initiatives that must be balanced with other immediate needs of the community. oo Pavement Preservation. One of the City's largest assets is the street network. Every two years, the City has a street condition assessment conducted which determines the "pavement condition index" (PCI) of the City's network and individual streets. The PCI scale is 0 — 100, with "100" being the condition of a new street. Street maintenance costs decrease exponentially when pavement is maintained at a minimum of "70" PCI. At the end of 2023, the City's street network PCI was rated "63" out of "100". While this PCI is still considered "Good" condition, the 2023 assessment concluded that without more aggressive preventative and rehabilitation projects, the pavement will start to degrade exponentially. The Five -Year CIP shows the budget levels necessary for projects to bring the PCI up to "68", including a proposed FY 2025-26 budget of over $9.9 million toward pavement preservation. The typical funding sources used by the City for pavement preservation are Gas Tax allocations and local sales tax proceeds restricted to transportation uses (i.e., Measure M Transportation and Measure DD, which is referred to as "GoSonoma"), as well as the General Fund and Casino mitigation funds. oo Building Condition Assessment Implementation. The Building Condition Assessment conducted in 2022 determined a total capital renewal cost of almost $49.7 million to address conditions at 62 City -owned facilities and structures. Of that $49.7 million cost, over $25.9 million is the cost to address Priority 1 projects that present conditions which require "immediate" action to: (a) correct a cited safety hazard; (b) stop accelerated deterioration; and/or (c) return a facility to operation. The types of funding sources used by the City for these types of projects include the General Fund, facilities fee revenues, Casino mitigation funds, bond monies, other special revenues, or sales tax proceeds (e.g., Measure M Parks). OAK #4907-7886-6704 v1 ITEM NO. 9.13. oo Casino Expansion Projects. The Five -Year CIP includes five (5) projects to mitigate the traffic impacts of the expansion of the Graton Casino. The total estimated cost of these projects is almost $41 million. The Second Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria provided just under $4 million of the needed amount. The remainder of the funding needed would need to come from the regular MOU annual contributions or other sources (e.g., the General Fund). oo Other Development -Driven Projects. The Copeland Creek Detention Basin ("Basin") is a long-standing project to provide flood management. The Basin is needed for the University District Specific Plan, pursuant to the Development Agreement between the City and the University District developers Vast Oak LP and University District LLC. However, the Basin would also benefit the wider community, as shown in the City's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The project's total estimated cost is $27 million. The current $3.45 million project budget, which will take the project through environmental documentation and design, is a combination of funds provided through the development agreement (i.e., Public Facilities Finance Fee advance), and approximately $800,000 of a $6 million FEMA grant awarded to the City in 2020. Obligation of the remaining $5.2 million in FEMA grant funds is anticipated; however, the remainder of the project funding would need to come from additional developer contribution, the City's General Fund, or future grants. It should be additionally noted that the Five -Year CIP does not include additional projects and programs that are managed by the CIP team at the Public Works Department, such as the Benicia Park Snack Bar Rehabilitation, Storm Drain System Assessment, Soundwall Replacement Assessment, traffic signals system administration, and land development review, for example. These projects are typically budgeted in the department's operational budget — and therefore are not shown in the CIP — but draw on the same staff resources to administer and deliver the projects. Proposed Projects for FY 2025-26 CIP Budget At a future meeting — typically at the same time as the City Operational Budget — the City Council will be asked to consider the adoption of the Five -Year CIP, which would include approval of the slate of projects, but not actual budget appropriations for FY 2026-27 through FY 2029-30 years. The City Council will also be asked to consider adopting the FY 2025-26 CIP Budget, which includes approving funding appropriations from identified funding sources and establishment of project budgets. OAK #4907-7886-6704 v1 4 ITEM NO. 9.13. The projects below are presently proposed for new/additional funding through the FY 2025-26 CIP: Current Project Proposed Resulting Project Project Budget FY 2025-26 Budget if Funding Approved Trail to Crane Creek Regional Park $2,818,598 $2,181,402 $5,000,000 2025 Pavement Preservation Project $900,000 $5,100,000 $6,000,000 Traffic Signals System Non -Routine $439,591* $250,000 $689,591 Maintenance ADA Transition Plan Implementation $140,000* $50,000 $190,000 $1,102,500 (there is Adrian Drive Safety Demonstration Project $0 partial Federal grant $1,102,500 funding of $840,000) 2026 Pavement Preservation Project $0 $4,797,200 $4,797,200 *Existing budget remaining to carryover to FY 2025-26. (Attachment A shows total project budget from inception to date, not the amount remaining These projects are recommended by City staff to meet immediate delivery timelines (e.g., the Trail to Crane Creek Regional Park project is now out to bid); pavement preservation is imperative (e.g., pavement projects need to be done in a timely fashion before a certain point of deterioration); compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act; commitment of a grant match; and continuance of an ongoing replacement program. Snyder Lane/Keiser Avenue Intersection Improvements Budget Amendment This project is a third phase of the improvements of Keiser Avenue, which was completely reconstructed to provide circulation to the University District. The road work at the intersection of Keiser Avenue and Snyder Lane includes widening, new roadway median, asphalt concrete paving, new curb and gutter, new planter and sidewalk, and installation of two new traffic signals. Design and construction documents were completed in Summer 2024, including an updated engineer's estimate of $3,204,000. This estimate exceeds the current budget of $2,400,000 by $804,000. Including additional funds needed for construction management costs, a budget augmentation of $1,003,000 is needed to complete the project. City staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution to appropriate $1,003,000 from the Public Facilities Fee ("PFF") Fund (Fund 4250) for the project and also increase the project budget to $3,403,000, which is sufficient to deliver the project. The PFF Fund contains revenues from the development fee program created by the Public Facilities Finance Plan ("PFFP"). The PFFP implements the City's General Plan policies that call for new development to pay a "fair -share" of the costs of improvements required to serve new development. Consistent with California Government Code Section 66000 et. seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), the PFFP provides a fair share analysis and nexus for fees collected under the program, including the nexus for roadway and traffic signals improvements to maintain the levels of service outlined in the General Plan. The Snyder Lane/Keiser Avenue intersection is one of fifteen locations identified by the PFFP to required additional capacity to be constructed to handle increased trip volume from new development, and for which PFF Fund monies can be used for such improvements. OAK #4907-7886-6704 v1 5 ITEM NO. 9.13. The City's CIP Program Benefits Local Contractors Staff has also performed an analysis on the amounts of contracts awarded to local subcontractors for major CIP projects since the last update presentation to City Council (July 2023).Table 1 shows the value of construction contracts over the last 1.5 years that have been awarded to local contractors compared to out -of -the -area contractors in Sonoma and Marin counties that were awarded through City Council: Table 1- Amount Awarded to Construction Contracts contractors in Sonoma and Percentage Awarded by City Council Marin Counties Staying Locally 19, 486, 402 15, 715, 832 81 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15306 and 15273(a)(4) because the Capital Improvement Plan is a budgetary document for future actions and a process for allocating and obtaining funds for capital projects, necessary to maintain service and is not a "project" under CEQA. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: The recommended action is consistent with the multi -year broad goals adopted by the Rohnert Park City Council in May 2024, and which include: (1) Long Term Financial Sustainability, (2) Community Quality of Life, (3) Planning and Infrastructure, and (4) Organization Well Being. OPTIONS CONSIDERED: Option 1 (Recommended Option): Receive the Project Status Informational Update, and approve the attached resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY 2024-25) CIP Budget to appropriate $1,003,000 from Public Facilities Fee Fund (Fund 4250) for the Snyder Lane/Keiser Avenue Intersection Improvements (CIP2201) and to increase the project budget for CIP2201 from $2,400,000 to $3,403,000. Option 2: Direct staff to make changes and come back for further consideration of the Five -Year CIP Plan and funding of Snyder Lane/Keiser Avenue Intersection Improvements at a later date. FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: There is no fiscal impact of receiving the informational item on the Five -Year CIP. The fiscal impact of the proposed budget amendment to appropriate new funds to CIP2201 and increase the project budget is a budgeted transfer out of $1,003,000 from Fund 4250 (reducing the fund balance in Fund 4250) into the Capital Projects Fund (Fund 7110) to cover the expenses of the CIP2201 project. There is no impact to the General Fund with this budget amendment.
