City of Live Oak Report to City Council Meeting Date: May 7, 2025 Title: Authorize the Overhaul and Baseplate Hinge Replacement for Aerzen Blower # 1 Contact Information: Jeff Nelson, Interim Public Works Director Background: The Wastewater Treatment Plant oxidation ditch has 3 Aerzen blowers that are used to inject oxygen (air) into the sewage waste stream to enhance the biological treatment process used to treat the wastewater. The Aerzen Blower #1 motor baseplate hinge is seized and will need to be replaced. To replace the baseplate hinge, the entire blower unit will need to be completely dismantled. The blower unit is near it's scheduled overhaul service. Since the unit must be taken completely apart to replace the motor baseplate and the blower is close to needing to be overhauled, it would save money and time if the overhaul is completed at the same time as when the motor baseplate is changed out. The total cost to replace the blower baseplate hinge and complete the overhaul is estimated to be $28,509. Public Works staff are requesting the City Council approve up to $30,000 to complete the overhaul of Blower #1 and replace the baseplate hinge. There is sufficient budget available in the Wastewater Enterprise Repair and Maintenance Account - 1300-5311 to cover these costs. Aerzen Blower #1 overhaul and baseplate hinge replacement------------------- --$30,000 Fiscal Impacts: The Wastewater Enterprise Repair and Maintenance Account (1300-5311) has sufficient funds to cover the replacement and overhaul activities. Recommendation: Approve staff's authorization request. Attachments: Aerzen Quote 13

City of Live Oak Report to City Council Meeting Date: May 7, 2025 Title: Consideration of a Letter of Opposition to California Senate Bill 79 (SB 79 - Wiener) Contact Information: Kary Hauck, Interim City Manager 17

Background: BACKGROUND: At the request of The League of California Cities and Councilmember Woten, the City Council is being asked to consider opposition to Senate Bill 79 (SB 79), introduced by Senator Scott Wiener. This bill represents a significant expansion of state control over local housing and land use planning, further eroding the traditional authority of cities to manage development within their jurisdictions. DISCUSSION: Senate Bill 79 seeks to grant unlimited land use authority to transit agencies on properties they own or on which they hold permanent easements, regardless of how far those properties are from an actual transit stop. Under this bill, transit agencies-not local governments-would determine critical development aspects such as building height, density, design, and permitted uses, without regard to local zoning ordinances, general plans, or even the state's own mandated local housing elements. This proposed legislation would: - Strip cities and counties of the ability to regulate land use on affected properties. - Override local General Plans that have been carefully developed to balance community needs, growth, and quality of life. - Disregard the extensive public process required for local Housing Element certifications. - Apply broadly to both residential and commercial developments, not just transit-oriented projects. For cities like Live Oak, which is bisected by a major railroad and no longer maintains an active train depot, this bill would grant unelected transit agencies unprecedented control over land far removed from any functional transit service. This blanket authority ignores the distinct needs, infrastructure capacities, and planning goals of smaller and rural communities. SB 79 is another troubling example of Sacramento's overreach into local land use authority, proposed by policymakers who have not visited Live Oak and do not understand the unique realities of our community. Local elected officials-not outside agencies-are best positioned to make land use decisions that affect our neighborhoods, economy, and environment. Fiscal Impacts: None at this time. Recommendation: Consider authorizing the Mayor to sign and submit a letter of opposition to California Senate Bill 79 (Wiener). Attachments: SB79 Letter of Opposition 18

City Hall: 530-695-2112 Live Oak Blvd., Live Oak, CA 95953 www.liveoakcity.org May 7, 2025 The Honorable Senator Scott Wiener California State Senate 1021 O St, Suite 8620 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: SB 79 (Wiener) Transit-oriented Development Notice of Opposition Dear Senator Wiener, The City of Live Oak writes to express our strong opposition to your SB 79 (Wiener), which would disregard state-certified housing elements and bestow land use authority to transit agencies without any requirement that developers build housing, let alone affordable housing. SB 79 doubles down on the recent trend of the state overriding its own mandated local housing elements. This latest overreaching effort forces cities to approve transit-oriented development projects near specified transit stops — up to seven stories high and a density of 120 homes per acre — without regard to the community's needs, environmental review, or public input. The City of Live Oak strongly opposes SB 79, as it strips local control from our housing planning decisions and disregards the unique needs of our community. Live Oak, a small city once served by an active train depot and now dissected by a major railroad, deserves better than one-size-fits-all legislation proposed by policymakers who have never set foot in our town and are clearly out of touch with rural realities. Most alarmingly, SB 79 defies cities’ general plans and provides transit agencies unlimited land use authority on property they own or have a permanent easement, regardless of the distance from a transit stop. Transit agencies would have the power to determine all aspects of the development including height, density, and design, without any regard to local zoning or planning. This broad new authority applies to both residential and commercial development. Transit agencies could develop 100% commercial projects — even at transit stops — and not provide a single new home, while simultaneously making the argument that more housing must be constructed around transit stops. City of Live Oak appreciates and respects your desire to pursue a housing production proposal. However, as currently drafted, SB 79 will not spur much-needed housing construction in a manner that supports local flexibility, decision-making, and community input. State-driven ministerial or by-right housing approval processes fail to recognize the extensive public engagement associated with developing and adopting zoning ordinances and housing elements. 19

City Hall: 530-695-2112 Live Oak Blvd., Live Oak, CA 95953 www.liveoakcity.org California will never produce the number of homes needed with an increasingly state-driven, by- right housing approval process. What we really need is a sustainable state investment that matches the scale of this decades-in-the-making crisis. For these reasons, the City of Live Oak strongly opposes SB 79. Sincerely, Jeramy Chapdelaine, Mayor City of Live Oak cc. Senator Niello Assemblyman Gallagher League of California Cities, cityletters@cacities.org 20

City of Live Oak Report to City Council Meeting Date: May 7, 2025 Title: Approval of Agreement with PlaceWorks to Complete the City's 6th Cycle Housing Element Update Contact Information: Kary Hauck, Interim City Manager Background: BACKGROUND: The State of California mandates that all cities update their Housing Elements every eight years to ensure local compliance with housing laws and to maintain eligibility for various state grants and funding. The City of Live Oak is currently working to complete its 6th Cycle Housing Element, which should have been completed in 2021. Initially, the City contracted with Raney and Associates to lead this effort. However, due to performance challenges and extended delays-despite repeated requests for status updates-Raney and Associates formally withdrew from the project in early April. Their inability to meet state expectations placed the City at risk of falling out of compliance with HCD requirements. Following Raney's resignation, the City began seeking proposals from new consultants to complete Live Oak's Housing Element. In response to the situation and recognizing our progress, HCD has granted the City a brief extension to complete the next step in submitting an updated Housing Element. DISCUSSION: To meet this critical deadline and ensure the Housing Element satisfies state law, staff sought proposals from three organizations with backgrounds in completing Housing Elements. PlaceWorks, a highly respected consulting firm with a strong track record in developing certified Housing Elements throughout California, was the only company to provide a proposal. PlaceWorks has proposed a clear, actionable, and thorough scope of work to guide the City through completion of the 6th Cycle Housing Element by the end of this year. Their plan includes meeting with staff, reviewing the draft housing element, making revisions to address HCD comments, preparing a 21

draft and final housing element, preparing text revisions for the City's Zoning code to assist with implementation, participation in public hearings, CEQA Compliance, and delivering a final document that is ready for adoption and certification. Given their expertise, responsiveness, and demonstrated experience with successful Housing Element certifications, staff are confident that PlaceWorks is the right firm to complete this important work on time. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Do not approve the contract and direct staff to seek alternative consulting firms (not recomm
