CITY COUNCIL AGENDA PACKET - Laserfiche WebLink

Page 4 of 5 processes. The City previously by Resolution No. 91-170 elected to have the City implement the state’s Uniform Public Construction Code Accounting Act. The second amendment relates to agreements where work exceeds the agreement amount. In the Manual and Municipal Code Chapter 3.32, the Council approves agreements for capital construction projects greater than $200,000. The Manual is proposed to be amended to: (a) allow the City Manager, Finance Director and Public Works Director to administratively approve an increase in work for such an agreement that would be above the amount and contingency approved by the City Council; (b) limit such administrative action to time-critical situations when prior Council approval is not possible (for example, open trench for pipe construction project encounters unknown conflict that needs extra work to minimize time trench is open); and (c) require that formal City Council ratification of an amendment to the agreement be brought to City Council at the next City Council meeting when noticing and agenda requirements can reasonably be met. 2. The Master Fee Schedule is also proposed to be amended (Attachment 3) to: a. Wireless service facilities are regulated by Municipal Code Chapter 18.110. In response to Federal Communication Commission (FCC) rule changes in 2019, fees were adopted for processing small wireless facility applications (see Res. 19-1124). It is proposed that the Master Fee Schedule be amended to adjust the fees for inflation from 2019 to 2024, and then provide for an annual inflation adjustment. b. False alarm fines in the Master Fee Schedule were set in 1985. This amendment would update the fines to reflect a portion of the actual current cost of police response, and include an automatic inflation adjustment. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY Updating the Municipal Code, Purchasing Procedures and Manual, and Master Fee Schedule, furthers, for example, equitable access to recreational facilities by eliminating director discretion in approval of rentals where alcohol is proposed to be served, and instead sets policies uniformly applicable to all persons. For sustainability, code changes to prohibit dogs on sports courts keeps these recreational resources used for their intended purpose for longer periods, and requires less maintenance. OUTREACH No outreach was conducted, as this item is a routine matter of City business. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT This action advances the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goals of Safeguarding our City, Strategy 1, by implementing changes to improve emergency preparedness capabilities by preserving police patrol resources by reducing false alarms by updating fines; Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs, Strategy 6, by implementing the Housing Element programs by updating zoning code provisions regarding accessory dwelling units to align with state law; and Funding our Future, Strategy 6 by updating the City's fee schedule to ensure fees charges represent costs of services.
