Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Public Works Department
Adopt an Ordinance to Amend Title 4 – “Public Safety”,
Chapter 2 - “Traffic Regulations”, Article 5 – “Speed Regulations”
Pertaining to Setting and Modifying Speed Limits
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt on second reading by title only, Draft Ordinance amending Title 4 – “Public
Safety”, Chapter 2 - “Traffic Regulations”, Article 5 – “Speed Regulations” pertaining to
setting and modifying speed limits.
DISCUSSION:
Speed regulations for City streets are set forth in Title 4 – “Public Safety”, Chapter 2 -
“Traffic Regulations”, Article 5 – “Speed Regulations” of the Atascadero Municipal Code.
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) sets forth requirements that local agencies must
follow in setting speed limits and provides the authority to determine speed limits to a
public official licensed as a Professional Engineer in the State of California – typically the
City Engineer or Director of Public Works (defined as “Traffic Engineer” in Section 4-2.101
of the Municipal Code).
Article 5 of the Municipal Code was established by Ordinance 34 in 1980 and last modified
by Ordinance 40 in 1981 by establishing speed limits on certain streets listed in Section
4-2.504. Staff is recommending changes to simplify the language by referencing the CVC
for setting Prima Facie speed limits (Section 4-2.502). Furthermore, Section 4-2.504 will
be deleted in its entirety to eliminate any conflicts with established speed limits from
recently adopted and future Speed Zone Surveys. A redline copy of the proposed
changes is attached to this report.
The City Council held a public hearing on August 11, 2020 to introduce the attached Draft
Ordinance. No public comment regarding the amendment was received.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Fire & Emergency Services Department
Cost Recovery Related to City Staff & Equipment Responding to
Mutual Aid Emergencies Outside the City’s Jurisdiction
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt Draft Resolution, identifying the terms and conditions, including portal-to-
portal pay for City personnel response, away from their official duty stations and assigned
to an emergency incident, related to City services responding to State & Federal
emergencies outside the City’s jurisdiction.
DISCUSSION:
California has the most robust and efficient state-wide firefighting assistance program in
the world. Known as the California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System, it is capable of
mobilizing thousands of firefighters and engines throughout the state at a moment’s
notice. Atascadero Fire is an active participant, and routinely sends personnel and
equipment to fires or other disasters around the state.
The attached Draft Resolution will supersede Resolution Nos. 2015-041 and 2015-042
previously adopted by Council in 2015 and is necessary for the inclusion of the Fire
Battalion Chief in order to allow this position to participate and be compensated for hours
worked on a State or Federal emergency. A Battalion Chief from Atascadero may be
called to participate in the mutual aid system, and will typically be tasked with a fire
management type position such as Strike Team Leader, Safety Officer, Division
Supervisor or Incident Commander. Any of these positions can be assigned to work a
two-week assignment or more, working 24 hours a day. By including the Battalion Chief
position in the Draft Resolution, individuals holding this position can be compensated for
regular straight time hours worked above their normal work week. This will be in line with
all other city employees who are compensated for mutual aid beginning from the time of
dispatch to the return to jurisdiction (portal to portal) in accordance with their
Memorandum of Understanding.
Cal OES (Office of Emergency Services) coordinates the state mutual aid system and
manages both the administration and the reimbursement to agencies for resources
requested. Cal OES requires this resolution to determine how both non-exempt and
exempt employees are compensated and how reimbursement is processed for the City.
Page 30 of 83
ITEM NUMBER: A-4
DATE: 09/08/20
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of this Draft Resolution will result in increased cost recovery related to mutual
aid responses.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council could refuse to adopt the Draft Resolution and receive only partial reimbursement
for a Battalion Chief response to mutual aid emergencies.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Community Development Department
Community Facilities District 2005-1
Annexation No. 20
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Adopt the Draft Resolution, declaring the results of a special annexation
landowner election, determining the validity of prior proceedings and directing
the recording of an amendment to the notice of special tax lien.
2. Adopt on second reading, by title only, the Draft Ordinance, authorizing the levy
of special taxes in Community Facilities District 2005-1 for certain annexation
territory identified as Annexation No. 20.
DISCUSSION:
This action consists of authorizing the levy of special taxes in Community Facilities District
2005-1 to a newly annexed area known as the Principal Planned Development
(Annexation No. 20). This is a second reading of the proposed Ordinance and is required
to formalize the annexation.
On August 11, 2020, the City Council held a public hearing on annexing the territory
identified as Annexation No. 20 into the City’s Community Facilities District (CFD) 2005-1.
After the close of the public hearing, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-060
(presented as Draft Resolution A as part of the August 11, 2020 staff report ). This
annexation was authorized by Council on a 5-0 vote. A landowner election was then
held, and the landowners elected to authorize a special CFD tax and approved the
annexation. Following the election, there was a minor oversight and Draft Resolution B,
declaring the results of the election, was not adopted by the Council. This Draft
Resolution (Attachment 1), along with the Draft Ordinance (Attachment 2) that was
introduced for first reading at the August 11, 2020 meeting to authorize the levy of a
CFD fee to all future property owners residing in Annexation No. 20 territory, are before
the Council for final approval tonight.
The Special Tax levied against Single-Family Residential parcels for Fiscal Year
2020-2021 was $706.68 per parcel, which is subject to an annual escalator to pay for
the service expansion needed to serve these additional residential units . The money
collected can only be used to fund new public services authorized to be funded by the

reading, will complete the CFD process and allow for the Final Map to be recorded.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Office of the City Treasurer
Amendment of Investment Policy
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt Draft Resolution amending the City of Atascadero Investment Policy.
DISCUSSION:
The Investment Policy provides guidelines for the prudent investment of funds, outlines
policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City’s cash management system, protects
pooled cash and ultimately enhances the economic status of the City. California
Government Code defines the parameters within which City funds may be invested. The
priorities of the Policy continue to be safety, liquidity, and yield.
The City’s investment portfolio is concentrated primarily in FDIC insured certificates of
deposit, U.S. Government Issues (Agencies) such as Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)
or Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Supranational Agency Securities, and
the State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF).
California Government Code Section 53601 (c)-(e) authorizes investments in California
and California Local Agency Municipal Obligations (limited to 30%) and other State
Municipal Obligations (limited to 30%). These are not currently included in the City’s
Policy of authorized investments, but are considered relatively safe investments,
particularly those that are highly rated and those that are General Obligation bonds. In
some economic environments, municipal bonds can have a higher yield than Agencies or
Certificates of Deposit. Opening up the policy to allow for these investments will provide
more tools to assist the City in maximizing investment returns during those periods.
Additionally, the draft update to the In vestment Policy calls for removing the maximum
investment in Agencies. Government Code Sections 53601 (b) and (f) allow for these
investments and do not impose a maximum . The City’s Policy separately imposed a
maximum of 40%. Agencies are considered to be among some of the safest
instruments, and can be prudent investments. The City employs a “ladder system” of
staggering the maturity dates of investments. This provides greater diversification in
the portfolio, maintains sufficient liquidity, and stabilizes returns. In some economic
environments, it is beneficial to the City to invest more than 40% of the idle cash in
Agencies, particularly in those maturity dates that correspond with holes in the laddered
Page 42 of 83
ITEM NUMBER: A-6
DATE: 09/08/20
investment system. Doing so could potentially increase the city yield without subjecting
the City to additional risk.
In addition to the investment-related updates in the draft Investment Policy, additional
clarifying language is proposed in Section II. Investment Authority and Responsibilities.
California Government Code Section 53607 authorizes the City Council to delegate the
investment authority to the City Treasurer on an annual basis. Adoption of the attached
Draft Resolution delegates such authority. Staff will bring an update of the Inves tment
Policy to Council for consideration each year hereafter, which will serve as the Council’s
formal delegation of authority to the City Treasurer.
The City of Atascadero Finance Committee met to review the draft policy on August 27,
2020. After their review and discussion in the publicly held meeting, the Finance
Committee voted to endorse the draft Investment Policy as proposed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A modest increase in interest earnings is anticipated with this Policy update .

City of Atascadero Investment Policy 2020 Page 1
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of funds
not required for the immediate needs of the City, and outline policies for maximizing the
efficiency of the City’s cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the
economic status of the City while protecting its pooled cash.
SCOPE
Included in the scope of the City’s investment policy are the following major guidelines
and practices, which are to be used in achieving the City’s primary investment objectives:
Investment Authority and Responsibilities
Eligible Financial Institutions
Authorized Investments
Investment Parameters
Cash Management
Evaluation of Investment Performance
Investment Reporting
Investment Policy Review and Adoption
It is intended that this policy cover all funds and investment activities under the direct
authority of the City. These funds are accounted for in the Annual Financial Report and
include the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, capital project funds,
enterprise funds, internal service funds and agency funds, including any Successor
Agency funds in the City’s pooled cash funds.
Subject to the prior written consent and approval of the City Treasurer and City Manager,
financial assets held and invested by trustees or fiscal agents are excluded from this
policy. However, such assets are nevertheless subject to the regulations established by
the State of California pertaining to investments by local agencies as well as the related
bond indentures.

I. OVERVIEW (continued)

GENERAL OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of investment activities, in priority order, shall be safety, liquidity,
and yield:
1. Safety
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation
of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and
interest rate risk.
a. Credit Risk
The City will minimize credit risk, the risk of loss due to the failure of the
security issuer or backer, by:
Limiting investments to the safest types of securities.
Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers,
intermediaries, and advisers with which the City will do business.
Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on
individual securities will be minimized.
b. Interest Rate Risk
The City will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the
portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates, by:
Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to
meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding
the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity.
Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities,
money market mutual funds, or similar investment pools.
2. Liquidity
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating
requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by
structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to
meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash
demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities
with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). A portion of the
portfolio will also be placed in money market mutual funds or local government
investment pools, which offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds.

GENERAL OBJECTIVES (continued)
3. Yield
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market
rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the
investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of
secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described
above. The core of investments is limited to relatively low risk securities in
anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. For
purposes of comparing alternative investments all yields should be converted to a
"money market" equivalent yield. Securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with
the following exceptions:
a. A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of
principal.
b. A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the
portfolio.
c. Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.
d. A capital gain would be realized that better positions the overall portfolio in
achieving investment policy goals.
STANDARDS OF CARE
The City operates its pooled idle cash investments under the “Prudent Person Rule” which
obligates a fiduciary to ensure that investments shall be made:
“…using the judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing,
which persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the
management of their own affairs, not in regard to speculation but in regard
to the permanent disposition of their funds, considering the probable income
as well as the probable safety of their capital”. (Uniform Prudent Investor
Act)
Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment
policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an
individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from
expectations are reported in a timely fashion and the liquidity and the sale of securities
are carried out in accordance with the terms of this policy.

II. INVESTMENT AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITIES
4
AUTHORIZED INVESTMENT OFFICERS
California Government Code Section 53601 states that the legislative body of a local
agency (i.e., the City Council) is authorized to invest surplus moneys as specified in that
code section. In accordance with California Government Code Section 53607, this
authority may be delegated to the City Treasurer for a one-year period by the City Council.
Subject to review, the City Council may renew the delegation of authority under this code
section each year. The ultimate responsibility for investment activity shall reside with the
City Council. Idle cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility
of the City Treasurer or designee. The City Council has authorized the following officials
to undertake investment transactions on behalf of the City:
City Treasurer
City Manager
Director of Administrative Services
Deputy Director of Administrative Services
It is the policy of the City for the Director of Administrative Services to manage the
investment activity of the funds of the City. The City Manager and the City Treasurer shall
supervise the activities of the Director of Administrative Services.

the City a broad spectrum of investments, so long as the investment is deemed prudent
and is allowable under current legislation of the State of California (Government Code
Section 53600, et. seq.) and applicable City trust agreements, if any.
It should be noted that while the Government Code specifies the maximum percentage
of the portfolio that may be held in each type of investment at any one time, fluctuations
in the portfolio balance will prevent strict adherence to such restrictions. Therefore,
percentage limitations shall apply to investments at the time of purchase.

V. INVESTMENT PARAMETERS

DIVERSIFICATION
The investments shall be diversified by:
Limiting investments to avoid over concentration in securities from a specific
issuer or business sector (excluding Local Agency Investment Fund and U.S.
Treasury securities),
Limiting investment in securities that have higher credit risks,
Investing in securities with varying maturities, and
Continuously investing a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds such
as local government investment pools (LAIF), or money market funds to ensure
that appropriate liquidity is maintained in order to meet ongoing obligations.
MAXIMUM MATURITIES
In order to minimize the impact of market risk, it is intended that all investments will be
held to maturity.
To the extent possible, the City shall attempt to match its investments with anticipated
cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly
invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of purchase or in
accordance with state and local statutes and ordinances. The Finance Review
Committee may meet to review weighted average maturity limitations (which often range
from 90 days to 2 years), consistent with investment objectives and e conomic conditions.
Investments may be sold prior to maturity for cash flow, appreciation purposes or in order
to limit losses; however, no investment shall be made based solely on earnings
anticipated from capital gains.
Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion
of the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds.

cash balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings. Investment
income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective
participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
3. Maximize the City’s cash flow through immediate deposit of all receipts, use of
direct deposit when available, and appropriate timing of payment to vendors.

The investment portfolio shall be structured to optimize the return given the risk
constraints and cash flow needs.
Investment activity activity summary reports shall be generated on a monthly basis for
presentation to the City Council.
In evaluating the performance of the City’s portfolio in complying with this policy, it is

Glossary-1
The following is a glossary* of key investing terms.
Accrued Interest - The accumulated interest due on a bond as of the last interest
payment made by the issuer.
Agency - A debt security issued by a federal or federally sponsored agency. Federal
agencies are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Federally
sponsored agencies (FSAs) are backed by each particular agency with a market
perception that there is an implicit government guarantee. An example of federal agency
is the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). An example of a FSA is the
Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA).
Amortization - The systematic reduction of the amount owed on a debt issue through
periodic payments of principal.
Average Life - The average length of time that an issue of serial bonds and/or term bonds
with a mandatory sinking fund feature is expected to be outstanding.
Basis Point - A unit of measurement used in the valuation of fixed -income securities
equal to 1/100 of 1 percent of yield, e.g., “1/4” of 1 percent is equal to 25 basis points.
Bid - The indicated price at which a buyer is willing to purchase a security or commodity.
Book Value - The value at which a security is carried on the inventory lists or other
financial records of an investor. The book value may differ significantly from the security’s
current value in the market.
Callable Bond - A bond issue in which all or part of its outstanding principal amount may
be redeemed before maturity by the issuer under specified conditions.
Call Price - The price at which an issuer may redeem a bond prior to maturity. The price
is usually at a slight premium to the bond’s original issue price to compensate the holder
for loss of income and ownership.
Call Risk - The risk to a bondholder that a bond may be redeemed prior to maturity.
Cash Sale/Purchase - A transaction that calls for delivery and payment of securities on
the same day that the transaction is initiated.

Collateralization - Process by which a borrower pledges securities, property, or other
deposits for the purpose of securing the repayment of a loan and/or security.
Commercial Paper - An unsecured short-term promissory note issued by corporations,
with maturities ranging from 2 to 365 days.
Convexity - A measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to changing interest rates. A high
convexity indicates greater sensitivity of a bond’s price to interest rate changes.
Coupon Rate - The annual rate of interest received by an investor from the issuer of
certain types of fixed-income securities. Also known as the “interest rate”.
Credit Quality - The measurement of the financial strength of a bond issuer. This
measurement helps an investor to understand an issuer’s ability to make timely interest
payments and repay the loan principal upon maturity. Generally, the higher the credit
quality of a bond issuer, the lower the interest rate paid by the issuer because the ris k of
default is lower. Credit quality ratings are provided by nationally recognized rating
agencies.
Credit Risk - The risk to an investor that an issuer will default in the payment of interest
and/or principal on a security.
Current Yield (Current Return) - A yield calculation determined by dividing the annual
interest received on a security by the current market price of that security.
Delivery Versus Payment (DVP) - A type of securities transaction in which the purchaser
pays for the securities when they are delivered either to the purchaser or his/her
custodian.
Derivative Security - Financial instrument created from, or whose value depends upon,
one or more underlying assets or indexes of asset values.
Discount - The amount by which the par value of a security exceeds the price paid for
the security.
Diversification - A process of investing assets among a range of security types by sector,
maturity, and quality rating.
Duration - A measure of the timing of the cash flows, such as the interest payments
and the principal repayment, to be received from a given fixed -income security. This
calculation is based on three variables: term to maturity, coupon rate, and yield to
maturity. The duration of a security is a useful indicator of its price volatility for given
changes in interest rates.

Fair Value - The amount at which an investment could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
Federal Funds (Fed Funds) - Funds placed in Federal Reserve banks by depository
institutions in excess of current reserve requirements. These depository institutions may
lend fed funds to each other overnight or on a longer basis. They may also transfer funds
among each other on a same-day basis through the Federal Reserve banking system.
Fed funds are considered to be immediately available funds.
Federal Funds Rate - Interest rate charged by one institution lending federal funds to the
other.
Government Securities - An obligation of the U.S. government, backed by the full faith
and credit of the government. These securities are regarded as the highest quality of
investment securities available in the U.S. securities market. See “Treasury Bills, Notes,
and Bonds.”
Interest Rate - See “Coupon Rate”.
Interest Rate Risk - The risk associated with declines or rises in interest rates that cause
an investment in a fixed-income security to increase or decrease in value.
Internal Controls - An internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the
entity are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The internal control structure is designed
to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of
reasonable assurance recognizes that 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the
benefits likely to be derived and 2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates
and judgments by management. Internal controls should address the following points:
1. Control of collusion - Collusion is a situation where two or more employees are working
in conjunction to defraud their employers.
2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping - By
separating the person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who
record or otherwise account for the transaction, a separation of duties is achieved.
3. Custodial safekeeping - Securities purchased from any bank or dealer including
appropriate collateral (as defined by state law) shall be placed with an independent
third party for custodial safekeeping.
4. Avoidance of physical delivery securities - Book-entry securities are much easier to
transfer and account for since actual delivery of a document never takes place.
Delivered securities must be properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The
potential for fraud and loss increases with physically delivered securities.

5. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members - Subordinate staff
members must have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to
avoid improper actions. Clear delegation of authority also preserves the internal
control structure that is contingent on the various staff positions and their respective
responsibilities.
6. Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers - Due to the
potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone and electronic transactions,
all transactions should be supported by written communications and approved by the
appropriate person. Written communications may be via fax if on letterhead and if the
safekeeping institution has a list of authorized signatures.
7. Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third -party custodian
- The designated official should ensure that an agreement will be entered into and will
address the following points: controls, security provisions, and responsibilities of each
party making and receiving wire transfers.
Inverted Yield Curve - A chart formation that illustrates long-term securities having lower
yields than short-term securities. This configuration usually occurs during periods of high
inflation coupled with low levels of confidence in the economy and a restrictive monetary
policy.
Investment Company Act of 1940 - Federal legislation which sets the standards by
which investment companies, such as mutual funds, are regulated in the areas of
advertising, promotion, performance reporting requirements, and securities valuations.
Investment Policy - A concise and clear statement of the objectives and parameters
formulated by an investor or investment manager for a portfolio of investment securities.
Investment-grade Obligations - An investment instrument suitable for purchase by
institutional investors under the prudent person rule. Investment -grade is restricted to
those obligations rated BBB or higher by a rating agency.
Liquidity - An asset that can be converted easily and quickly into cash.
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) - The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is
a voluntary program created by statute; began in 1977 as an investment alternative for
California's local governments and special districts and it continues today. The enabling
legislation for the LAIF is Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code.
This program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which
invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State
Treasurer's Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer. This in-house
management team is comprised of civil servants who have each worked for the State
Treasurer's Office for an average of 20 years.

2021 Measure F-14 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
Design Engineering Services Contract
RECOMMENDATION:
Council authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement for
$183,220 with Rick Engineering Company to provide design engineering and
construction plan preparation services for the 2021 Measure F-14 Pavement
Rehabilitation Project (Project No. C2020R02).
DISCUSSION:
Sales Tax Measure F-14 was approved by voters in November 2014 to fund the repair,
maintenance, and rehabilitation of City-maintained local roadways with a one-half cent
sales tax over twelve years. A list of projects to be funded with Measure F-14 revenue
is developed each budget cycle by employin g the Critical Point Management technique
with the City’s Pavement Management Program . The following roadway segments
were selected by this technique and identified to be constructed with the Measure F-14
2021 Pavement Rehabilitation Project in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as
part of the last budget cycle. A map showing these segments is also attached for
reference (Attachment 1).

The City hired Earth Systems to perform pavement deflection testing, coring and
rehabilitation recommendations for each of the project’s roadway segments. A report
summarizing the testing and providing recommendations was included with a Request
for Proposals (RFP) to qualified engineering consulting firms to provide design services.
The report indicated that Marchant Way, Old Morro Road East, Pismo Avenue, San
Diego Road and San Guillermo Lane are structurally inadequate and will require, at
minimum, that a portion of the roadway segment include full depth rehabilitation. The
other six roadways were determined to be generally structurally sound and will likely be
excellent candidates for resurfacing or light rehabilitation (overlay) options. Final
determination of the most cost effective pavement rehabilitation solution for each
roadway segment, (using a life-cycle cost analysis), is included in the work scope during
the project design phase.
Staff solicited proposals in July 2020 from qualified consultants to perform final design
services for the Measure F-14 2021 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. Services in the
proposal include topographic survey services, survey monument research, pavement
engineering analysis, preparing construction plans, specifications, cost estimates
(PS&E), and providing engineering assistance during the bid process. Additionally,
stormwater runoff and drainage analysis will be performed to remedy current issues , to
ensure positive drainage on the pavemen t surface and proper conveyance. Given the
number of roadway segments included with the 202 1 project, and the lack of edge
improvements, it is expected that drainage improvements will be more extensive than
on past projects. Finally, federal law requires that existing curb ramp facilities be
upgraded to comply with ADA requirements when the adjacent roadway is rehabilitated.
It is anticipated that three curb ramps will need to be replaced as part of this project,
and the design component of that work is included in the Consultant’s scope of work.
Staff received seven proposals from qualified consultants (North Coast Engineering,
Rick Engineering Company (RICK), TAIT & Associates, Stantec, GHD, Eikhof Design
Group, and Wallace Group). Proposals were individually reviewed and scored by a
technical selection committee according to experience with similar projects,
responsiveness to City needs, experience of key personnel and other factors. Similar
to last year, staff was particularly interested in the ability of the selected consultant to
complete the design project on schedule in order to avoid construction late in the
upcoming year. The City was fortunate to receive excellent proposals from all seven
companies, but agreed unanimously that Rick Engineering Company submitted the
most qualified proposal.
RICK provided a detailed fee estimate worksheet with their proposal that included labor
hours/costs, reimbursable expenses, and subconsultant fees for the work scope
identified in the City’s request for proposals. Staff reviewed RICK’s work scope and fee
and have determined that it is reasonable given the number or roadway segmen ts and
detailed design items included. Staff is recommending awarding a contract with RICK
on a time and material basis for an estimated maximum fee of $183,220 for design
engineering services for the project.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Community Development
Development Impact Fees
Associated with Accessory Dwelling Units
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt Draft Resolution exempting and/or reducing development impact fees for
accessory dwelling units in accordance with Senate Bill 13.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The City of Atascadero, like all Cities in California, requires development impact fees to be paid
for all new residences, including accessory dwelling units. However, on January 1, 2020, Senate
Bill 13 (SB 13) became effective in the State of California. SB 13 was designed to increase the
production of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) as a form of “affordable by design” housing. In
summary, the Bill exempts ADU’s that are less than 750 square feet from impact fees and units
larger than 750 must be charged a “proportional” rate that is related to a primary structure. The
Bill does not prohibit the City from collecting standard impact fees for primary multi -family or
single-family units that are not considered “Accessory Units”.
In the City of Atascadero, ADU’s (identified as Residential Second Units in the Atascadero
Municipal Code) up to 1,200 square feet may be allowed on properties that can meet property
development standards and are able to maintain adequate services, including wastewater, water
and adequate fire access. This means that many of the accessory units that are developed in
the City will still be subject to development impact fees because they are larger than 750 square
feet. Therefore, an impact fee structure must be established that sets a rate for ADU’s between
750 and 1200 square feet.
Analysis
The challenge for many jurisdictions is appropriately determining what the term “proportional”
means. Other jurisdictions have determined that proportional is a portion of impact fees relative
to the size of the accessory unit when compared to the average size of primary units that are
typically found in the jurisdiction. The actual language from the Senate Bill on this topic is as
follows:
SB 13: (3) (A) A local agency, special district, or water corporation shall not impose any
impact fee upon the development of an accessory dwelling unit less than 750 square feet.
Any impact fees charged for an accessory dwelling unit of 750 square feet or more
shall be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary
dwelling unit. (B) For purposes of this paragraph, “impact fee” has the same meaning
Page 78 of 83
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 09/08/20
as the term “fee” is defined in subdivision (b) of Section 66000, except that it also includes
fees specified in Section 66477. “Impact fee” does not include any connection fee or
capacity charge charged by a local agency, special district, or water corporation.
Staff has worked with a fiscal impact consultant and our City GIS team to determine how the
City should implement SB 13. Similar to other communities, the City can utilize the median
primary unit dwelling size in Atascadero to formulate a proportional rate for ADU’s. In
Atascadero, the median size of a primary dwelling, according to current assessor data, is 1,666
square feet. Utilizing this median unit size in relation to an accessory dwelling unit, we can
calculate a proportional fee by dividing the median house size by the total impact fee to get a
cost per square foot.
For example, the current development impact fee for a new single-family residence ranges from
$16,989 to $18,208 based on the zoning and lot size (Attachment 2- Citywide Impact Fees). If
the average impact fee for a typical one-acre lot ($17,409) is divided by the median house size
(1,666 square feet) the result is a cost of $10.45 per square foot of floor area in the new ADU.
Assuming that an ADU that is 1,000 square feet, the resulting cost for impact fees for the new
ADU would be $10,450 instead of $17,409. Exhibit A to the Draft Resolution illustrates the new
ADU fee based on the existing City impact fee structure.
Conclusion
The City was required to implement SB 13 beginning January 1 2020. The City is already
exempting new ADU’s that are less than 750 Square feet from impact fees. It is anticipated that
the reduced impact fees will result in a slight increase in the demand for ADUs. The City typically
issues permits for 4 or 5 ADU’s each year and most of these are approximately 1200 square
feet, which is the maximum ADU size. In recent months, ADU applications have increased and
it is anticipated permit requests for up t o 20 ADU’s may be received each year. However, the
size of the ADU’s has decreased and many of them are less than 750 square feet.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact is expected to exceed $100,000 annually in the reduction of development
impact fees, which are used to build infrastructure to accommodate future growth .
ALTERNATIVES:
Direct staff to consider alternative methods of meeting SB13 requirements to charge impact fees
that are proportional in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit.

DRAFT RESOLUTION
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ATASCADERO, CALIFORNIA, EXEMPTING AND/OR REDUCING
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SENATE BILL 13
WHEREAS, the City wishes to comply with both the letter and the spirit of Senate Bill 13
(SB 13) by exempting and/or reducing development impact fees to spur the development of
accessory dwelling units as a form of affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, accessory dwelling units are identified as Residential Second Units in the
Atascadero Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community and to
ensure that adequate capital facilities are provided for the residents of the City and so that new
development in the City pays its fair share of the cost of providing these facilities, the levy of
development impact fees is necessary; and
WHEREAS, heretofore the City Council has adopted Ordinance No. 420 establishing its
policy as to the recovery of costs of such impacts and directing staff as to the methodology for
implementing said Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, because the City is eliminating and reducing development impact fees in
accordance with an adopted Senate Bill, this activity is not subject to the same noticing and
hearing requirements as a fee adoption or fee increase; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 13 was designed to incentivize the development of accessory
dwelling units and thereby requires that local jurisdictions exempt accessory dwelling units less
than 750 square feet in floor area from the payment of development impact fees; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 13 requires that local jurisdictions only collect impact fees that
are proportional to the primary residence when the accessory dwelling units are 750 square feet or
greater in size; and
WHEREAS, the revised impact fee schedule for Accessory Dwelling Units detailed in
Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference are consistent with the City of
Atascadero General Plan and the intent of Senate Bill 13, and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66018 does not apply to the act of reducing fees
to which a specific notice and public hearing requirement would otherwise apply; and
WHEREAS, the decrease to the amount of the development fees is not a "project" subject
to the California Environmental Quality Act because it is a funding mechanism having no
physical effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Atascadero:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and the City Council
so finds and determines
SECTION 2. Establishment of the Fees. The Fees are hereby established in the amounts
detailed in Exhibit A for the purpose of implementing Senate Bill 13.
SECTION 3. Findings.
1. Under Senate Bill 13 accessory dwelling units less than 750 sf in size are exempt
from development impact fees. The adopted fee will be added to the permit but will show a zero
charge in compliance with State law.
2. Under Senate Bill 13 units between 750sf – 1200sf in size are required to be
charged proportional impacts fees based on the City’s adopted fee structure for primary
residential units.
3. The City analyzed County Assessor data to determine the median residence size
within the Atascadero City limits. The median unit size was determined to be 1,666 sf. Based on
this analysis, the fees for ADU’s 750 sf - 1200 sf (as detailed in Exhibit A) are a proportional rate
in accordance with SB 13. The proportional rate is derived from the median residence size (1,666
square feet) divided by the existing impact fee.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon
adoption and any construction permit for Accessory Dwelling Units issued after January 1, 2020
shall be subject to the reduced fee schedule, and shall remain in effect until revised by the City
Council.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 8th day of
