CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members DATE: April 5, 2022 FROM: Kathleen Salguero Trepa SUBJECT: A Proclamation Recognizing Child Abuse Prevention Month RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached proclamation recognizing April as Child Abuse Prevention Month BACKGROUND: The Yolo County Children’s Alliance (YCCA) was founded as the Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) of Yolo County in 2002 and for the past 20 years has continued to coordinate county-wide efforts to prevent and respond to issues of child abuse and neglect. Locally, Yolo County’s child abuse prevention efforts are fostered by the contributions of the following agencies and organizations: CommuniCare Health Centers, Empower Yolo, First 5 Yolo, West Sacramento Police Department, Yolo County CASA, Yolo County District Attorney’s Office- Multi-Disciplinary Interview Center, Yolo County HHSA, Yolo County Office of Education, and Yolo County Probation. The Child Abuse Prevention Council has requested that the City Council consider approving a proclamation of the City of Winters recognizing the month of April, as Child Abuse Prevention Month. FISCAL IMPACT: None. ATTACHMENT: Child Abuse Prevention Month Proclamation 5

A PROCLAMATION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINTERS RECOGNIZING APRIL AS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH WHEREAS, child abuse and neglect continue to pose serious threats to our nation’s children; and WHEREAS, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), such as physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, neglect, and parental stress or illness, can have short- and long-term outcomes, including a multitude of health and social problems; and early evidence-based prevention and intervention efforts are less costly than trying to fix the adverse effects of child maltreatment, both in human and financial terms; and WHEREAS, at the start of the pandemic, children had decreased access to mandated reporters, such as teachers and medical providers. Thus, it is important to note that even more children in Winters may have experienced abuse and/or neglect in 2020; and WHEREAS, Winters is fortunate to have people and organizations who work to bring awareness to this issue and who help children and families dealing with abuse and neglect. Community-based prevention services can strengthen families and reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect; and WHEREAS, the Yolo County Children’s Alliance (YCCA) was founded as the Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) of Yolo County in 2002 and for the past 20 years, has continued to coordinate county efforts to prevent and respond to child abuse and neglect. Yolo County’s child abuse prevention efforts are fostered by the contributions of the following agencies and organizations: CommuniCare Health Centers, Empower Yolo, First 5 Yolo, West Sacramento Police Department, Yolo County CASA, Yolo County District Attorney’s Office- Multi-Disciplinary Interview Center, Yolo County HHSA, Yolo County Office of Education, and Yolo County Probation; and WHEREAS, prevention can only be accomplished if we, both as a City and a County, take responsibility to offer parents and families the support and tools they need to provide healthy, nurturing homes for their children.; and WHEREAS, Winters residents are encouraged to support child abuse prevention activities in their communities by joining the new CAPC campaign Building Youth Resilience, which engaged and empowered youth to directly inform the process of curating a resource guide. Building Youth Resilience provides resources for youth and their parents/caregivers to promote resilience, self-care and personal growth; and NOW, THEREFORE BE IT PROCLAIMED that the City Council of the City of Winters does hereby proclaim April 2022 as “Child Abuse Prevention Month” in the City of Winters and encourages other entities and institutions to recognize Child Abuse Prevention Month. Additionally, the City of Winters will commit itself to take responsibility to nurture and protect our children and help ensure they become healthy and productive adults. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Winters, this 5th day of April, 2022, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Councilmember Harold Anderson _______________ Councilmember Pierre Neu Mayor Pro Tem Bill Biasi Mayor Wade Cowan Councilmember Jesse Loren 6

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers DATE: April 5, 2022 FROM: Kathleen Salguero Trepa, City Manager SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2022-28 Renewing Authorization and Making Findings and Determinations Under AB 361 for Continued Virtual Meetings. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2022-28 Renewing Authorization and Making Findings and Determinations Under AB 361 for Continued Virtual Meetings. BACKGROUND: AB 361 allows the City Council and all commissions, committees and other legislative bodies of the City of Winters to meet virtually or telephonically without meeting certain Brown Act posting requirements, identifying each teleconference location, requiring each teleconference location to be publicly accessible, or requiring a quorum of the legislative body to be physically present within the City. Virtual public meetings still require standard meeting agendas and notices and the ability for the public to provide public comment. At its October 5, 2021 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-65 making findings and determinations under AB 361 for continued virtual meetings. To continue virtual meetings, the Council must make findings every 30 days that 1) it has reconsidered the circumstances of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic state of emergency and 2) either the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the public to meet safely in person, or state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing. 7

2 DISCUSSION: AB 361 into law, which allows virtual public meetings to continue through January 1, 2024, provided that: 1. The Council holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency, and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or 2. The Council holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency and determines or has determined by majority vote that as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. At its October 5, 2021 City Council meeting, Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-65 making the initial findings and determinations under AB 361 for continued virtual meetings under AB 361. The City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the state emergency and finds that state of local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing. The approval of Resolution No. 2021-86 and its renewal would apply to the City Council and all commissions, committees, and other legislative bodies of the City of Winters. This item will be placed on the agenda as a recurring consent item for every future City Council meeting as long as a state emergency exists and the City Council desires to hold a teleconference meeting (including hybrid meetings). This is because AB 361 requires the Council to renew its every 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time under AB 361. The City Council regularly meets on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. The number of days between one first Tuesday of the month to the next, or one third Tuesday of the month to the next, could be more than 30 days for some intervals. Placing the item on the agenda as a recurring consent item ensures that there will not be a lapse in satisfying the renewal requirements under AB 361. AB 361 does not require in-person meetings if the City Council decides to continue with remote or Zoom meetings during the state emergency. AB 361 also does not require the City Council to hold remote or Zoom meetings during the state emergency. However, any in-person attendance would still need to comply with health orders related to masking or social distancing, as applicable. Council provided staff direction at the October 5, 2021, meeting to implement a hybrid system that allows for both in-person and remote access to public meetings for either councilmembers, staff or the public. Two people are required to manage a hybrid system: one to manage the Zoom platform and the other to manage the Granicus system. Staff is 8

3 currently in the process of making modifications to finish implementing the hybrid system. Once implemented, a hybrid meeting would also be an option for the City Council. A copy of AB 361 is available at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB361. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution 2022-28 2.

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-28 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINTERS RENEWING AUTHORIZATION AND MAKING FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS UNDER AB 361 FOR CONTINUED VIRTUAL MEETINGS WHEREAS, the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code § 54950 et seq.) generally requires local agencies meeting via teleconference, including through other virtual or electronic means, to provide public access at each location in which members of the legislative body are teleconferencing; and WHEREAS, the Legislature recently enacted Assembly Bill 361, Chapter 165, Statutes of 2021 (“AB 361”), which amended Government Code section 54953 to allow local agencies to meet fully virtually during a proclaimed state of emergency if state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; and WHEREAS, the Governor issued a proclamation declaring a state of emergency on March 4, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, pursuant to section 8625 of the California Emergency Services Act, and this proclaimed state of emergency currently remains in effect; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Winters has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency; and WHEREAS, state or local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing; and WHEREAS, according to the Yolo County Health Officer, the grounds for the social distancing recommendation include the unique characteristics of public governmental meetings, including the increased mixing associated with bringing together people from across the community, the need to enable those who are immunocompromised or unvaccinated to be able to safely continue to fully participate in public governmental meetings, and the challenges of ensuring compliance with safety requirements and recommendations at such meetings; and WHEREAS, the continuation of virtual meetings will allow for full participation by members of the public until social distancing recommendations are lifted; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Winters desires to continue to hold virtual meetings pursuant to AB 361 and Government Code section 54953(e). NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Winters as follows: 1. The above recitals and true and correct and shall be the findings of the City Council of the City of Winters. 10

Resolution 2022-28 Page 2 of 2 2.

Cottonwood Street Woodland, CA 95695 Service Center (530) 661-2750 Mental Health (530) 666-8630 Public Health (530) 666-8645 Date: September 22, 2021 To: All Yolo County Boards and Commissions From: Dr. Aimee Sisson, Health Officer Subject: Remote Public Meetings In light of the ongoing public health emergency related to COVID-19 and the high level of community transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19, the Yolo County Public Health Officer recommends that public bodies continue to meet remotely to the extent possible. Board and Commissions can utilize the provisions of newly-enacted AB 361 to maintain remote meetings under the Ralph M. Brown Act and similar laws. Among other reasons, the grounds for the remote meeting recommendation include: • The continued threat of COVID-19 to the community. As of September 22, 2021, the current case rate is 24.1 cases per 100,000 residents per day. This case rate is considered “high” under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) framework for assessing community COVID-19 transmission; and • The unique characteristics of public governmental meetings, including the increased mixing associated with bringing together people from across the community, the need to enable those who are immunocompromised or unvaccinated to be able to safely continue to fully participate in public governmental meetings, and the challenges of ensuring compliance with safety requirements and recommendations at such meetings. Meetings that cannot feasibly be held virtually should be held outdoors when possible, or indoors only in small groups with face coverings, maximal physical distance between participants, use of a portable HEPA filter (unless comparable filtration is provided through facility HVAC systems), and shortened meeting times. This recommendation is based upon current conditions and available protective measures. The Public Health Officer will continue to evaluate this recommendation on an ongoing basis and will communicate when there is no longer such a recommendation with respect to meetings for public bodies. 12

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members DATE: April 5, 2022 FROM: Kathleen Salguero Trepa, City Manager SUBJECT: Resolution 2022-29, Initiating Proceedings for the Annual Levy and Collection of Assessments Within the City of Winters City-Wide Maintenance Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 and Ordering the Preparation of Annual Engineer’s Report RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 2022-29 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 2022-23 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 2022/2023 and file it with the City Clerk in accordance with Streets and Highways Code Section 22623. The City Council will consider the second step – the approval of the proposed 13

engineer's report, a declaration of its intention to provide for the annual levy of assessments, and the noticing of a public hearing – at the May 17, 2022, City Council meeting. ALTERNATIVES: None. The City-wide Assessment provides critical ongoing funding for parks, landscape areas and streetlighting. FISCAL IMPACT: Last year the City-Wide Assessment provided approximately $215,000 or 78% of the annual cost of maintaining the facilities within the district. Costs adjust each year based on new areas that come online; revenues increase as new homes are occupied; however, the revenue generated by each house does not fully cover the cost of maintenance services.
