City of Live Oak Report to City Council Meeting Date: June 17, 2020 Title: Kristin Court Budget Amendment 2020-21 Contact Information: (Joe Aguilar, Finance Director) Background: in 2018, the City approved the financial package for the recent expansion of the Kristin Court apartment development. Part of that approved package includes the pass-through of federal funding managed by the State Department of Housing. These projects often take years to develop and finance. It is common for the concluding transactions to occur years later. Included in the staff report you will find a resolution that amends the City's budget for passing through the federal funding to the developer. Technically, the money needs to flow from the State to the City and then over to the developer. Budget appropriations need to be in place for recording this transaction. There is no net cost to the City for this portion of the financial package. Fiscal Impacts: No monetary effect on City since the City serves as a pass-through agency of funding $4,550,000 from the State Housing Department to the Housing Developer of Kristin Court Phase II. Recommendation: Adopt resolution that appropriates funding for concluding the previously approved housing transaction. Attachments: Resolution 10

City of Live Oak Report to City Council Meeting Date: June 17, 2020 Title: Introduction of an Ordinance of the City of Live Oak Amending Section 17.28.050(K) of the Live Oak Municipal Code That Would Include Citywide Standards for Political Signs Contact Information: (Kevin Valente, Planning Director) Location: Citywide Background: On August 7, 2019, staff presented a Draft Ordinance amending Section 17.28.050(K) of the Live Oak Municipal Code regarding campaign signs in the City of Live Oak.

Analysis: After receiving City Council direction, staff has not included any new City requirements that would increase staff time, and therefore, increase costs for posting campaign signs, or add additional requirements not already required by the State. The ordinance included in the staff report amends the existing sign requirements to provide code enforcement a means to enforce campaign sign within the City with requirements already in-place by the State and County. Therefore, staff recommends Council waive the first reading of the ordinance entitled "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Live Oak, California, Amending Section 17.28.050(K) of the Live Oak Municipal Code".
