Public Comment: Corrine Martinez acknowledged that the City, like local businesses, is struggling with staffing. She stated that the City needed to identify areas to save money and improve efficiencies. She recommended that Council wait for the Downtown Visioning Plan before making decisions regarding the community center. She noted that the City should ensure developers are covering all costs so that projects are fully paid for and funded. She stated that a specific plan for Winters 183 may be a way for the developer to get around the general plan and recommended the open space zoned in that area be maintained. She requested that the City consider the impact that additional stop lights on Grant/128 may have and cause travelers to detour off of Grant and away from the downtown area. She recommended cloud-based solutions and services for technology shortfalls. She asked if the City regulated a water capture program. She acknowledged the work that has been done to encourage community engagement but noted a lack of continued participation and a need to meet people where they are. Chris Turkovich thanked staff and council for the information and opportunity. He expressed his support for staff continuing to adjust work to address evolving budget and staffing issues while living within the City’s means. He noted the importance of filling staffing gaps, and the need to find ways to increase revenue, as well as ways to 5

He emphasized the importance of staffing for Police and Fire, including having two police officers on patrol at all times, and maintaining staffing with 2/3 on a vehicle and the future need of a ladder truck. He noted the risk in technology and that programs can be a way to improve efficiency. He encouraged developing drought tolerant pre-made landscape plans similar to the ADU plans. He acknowledged that additional land and parks add more work for Public Works, which may require contract services. Tina Lowden expressed a concern regarding additional stop lights on Grant/128. She expressed excitement for the future of the Senior Center. She noted a need to partner with the Solano EDC to help bring future businesses to Winters. She encouraged the need to connect with the community and to make connections with other groups that may not currently be connected with the City.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members DATE: April 18, 2023 FROM: Cathy Mathews, Director of Administrative Services THROUGH: Kathleen Salguero Trepa, City Manager SUBJECT: Resolution 2023-22 Initiating Proceedings for the Annual Levy and Collection of Assessments Within the City of Winters City-Wide Maintenance Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 and Ordering the Preparation of Annual Engineer’s Report RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution 2023-22 initiating the proceedings for the annual levy and collection of the annual assessments within the City of Winters City-Wide Maintenance Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2023-24 and ordering the preparation of the annual Engineer’s Report. BACKGROUND: The assessments from the City's landscape maintenance district are used to maintain the City's parks, landscape areas, and electricity for street lighting. Under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, beginning with Section 22500 (hereinafter referred to as the "Act"), annual assessments levied after the District is formed must follow certain procedures. The City Council is required to take three distinct steps to proceed with the annual levy of assessments. First, the City Council must formally initiate the proceedings and direct the preparation of an engineer's report. Second, the City Council must take formal action to either approve or modify and approve the proposed engineer's report, formally declare its intention to provide for the annual levy of assessments and provide notice of a public hearing. Finally, the City Council must hold the public hearing and provide for the annual levy of assessments. This item takes the first step in the annual assessment process. The City has retained Willdan Financial Services to prepare the Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 and file it with the City Clerk who shall then submit the report to the City Council for consideration in accordance with Streets and Highways Code Section 22623. The City Council will consider the second step – the approval of the proposed engineer's report, a 10

declaration of its intention to provide for the annual levy of assessments, and the noticing of a public hearing – at the May 16, 2023, City Council meeting. ALTERNATIVES: None. The City-wide Assessment provides critical ongoing funding for parks, landscape areas and street lighting. FISCAL IMPACT: Last year, the City-Wide Assessment provided approximately $233,900 or 66% of the annual cost of maintaining the facilities within the district. While revenues increase as new homes are occupied, the revenue generated by the Assessment District does not fully cover the cost of maintenance services. ATTACHMENT: Resolution 2023-22 2 11
