She believed the General Plan was outdated, and had been amended to accommodate any form of development without regard to the effect on the overall land use of the community. Ms. Wheat noted further land use plan amendments were scheduled for several projects in November, continuing to reduce the effectiveness of comprehensive land use planning, and diminishing amenities such as parks, all to the detriment of the community. Council Member Davis noted the City had recognized a need to address updating the General Plan, but had also noted there was not adequate funding to conduct such an update at the current time. He believed direction had been given to evaluate conducting initial outreach with the funds that were available, with the knowledge that the full process would be conducted over the course of the next couple of years.  high volume of visitor traffic at all hours of the day.  work with residents to address issues encountered at the site.

Agenda Item No.9.2:  A public hearing to consider adopting a resolution  approving Addenda 1,2, and 3 and an amendment to Mitigation Measure MM 3.4.4 to the Grant Line Road Widening Project Mitigated Negative Declaration and approving  the proposed project as modified by the addenda  RECOMMENDATION  Adopt resolution approving Addenda 1, 2, and 3 and a minor amendment to Mitigation Measure 3.4.4 to the Grant Line Road Widening Project (Project) Mitigated Negative Declaration and approving the proposed project, identified as Project Alternative 2 in the With the aid of an overhead presentation (filed), Gary Grunwald, Project Manager, provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation. Mr. Grunwald provided an overview of the Project, noting the General Plan identified Grant Line Road as an eight-lane facility from west of the State Route 99 Interchange to Bradshaw Road. The Project environmental document was adopted in 2005 as a six-lane widening project from East Stockton Boulevard to Waterman Road, and then a four lane widening from Waterman Road up to Bradshaw Road. The project had been on hold due to high costs  Mitigated Negative Declaration, as modified by the addenda.  Eik Grove City Council Regular Meeting. October 26,2011 Pages 5 of13    and the downturn in the economy. With the Grant Line Road Interchange completed in 2008, the reçent completion of the Waterman Road Realignment Project, and the expectation to break ground on the Household Hazardous Waste Facility next spring, the near proximity of these projects to the Grant Line Road Widening Project re-initiated pursuit of the project in 2008, but this time to be conducted in phases. The current Project was Phase 1, proposing a four-lane widening from East Stockton Boulevard to the realigned Waterman Road, with a grade separated railroad bridge and landscaped embankment. The existing Waterman Road would be closed with a cul-de-sac, and an access road would be constructed for properties just south of Grant Line Road. Three alignments were considered for the project. The north alignment alternative was evaluated, and due to high costs of having to mitigate use in developed properties, was discarded early in the process. The center alignment alternative would have placed the new road on top of the old road, creating expensive features and traffic issues. The southern alignment alternative shifted the alignment south of the existing Grant Line Road sO traffic could flow through the construction area, and placed the alignment on undeveloped properties. The southern alignment was the preferred alignment as it was the most cost efficient, effective solution providing the greatest public good and resulting Patrick Angell, environmental consultant for the Project, noted that when the General Plan was done a programmatic environmental analysis of the eight lane design of the Grant Line Widening Project was conducted. The first environmental document prepared specifically for the project was the Mitigated Negative Declaration, adopted in 2005, which identified the series of alternatives, and mitigation measures were identified and subsequently adopted. Since that time three addenda were prepared, one addressed noise receptors as affected by particular alignments, the second was associated with the Waterman Road Alignment Project, and the third was specifically associated with the selected alignment and the overcrossing structure, clarifying a mitigation measure to cover a particular species of raptor, the burrowing owl. The addenda were approprate as they identified no new significant environmental effects.  in the least private injury.  Mayor Detrick declared the public hearing open.  PUBLIC COMMENT:  Scott Browne, attorney representing Cyprus Abbey Company, requested the item be continued to allow time for his client to discuss project impacts and implications with City staff. Cyprus Abbey Company was the owning entity of one of the parcels most affected by the project, consisting of 676 acres purchased in 1991, where the top 20 acres of the property were zoned for industrial uses, and the currently proposed Sphere of Influence application suggested that all of the property on the parcel down to the floodplain boundary would go into the City for urban development. Mr. Browne submitted two letters (filed) listing concerns with the environmental documents, noting his client received notice of the resolution of necessity, but not of the addenda to the environmental document, and overall he believed the environmental approach on the Project was outdated and flawed. He contended that an addendum was a limited use document, to implement minor technical changes, and he believed the nature of the changes introduced for the Project, removing use of retaining walls and substituting with a fill embankment, required the preparation of a supplemental Environmental Impact  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, October 26, 2011 Page 6of13    Report. He stated a fill embankment would take more of his client's property than a retaining wall, and for a fill embankment project, the current air quality analysis was no longer applicable. He stated there were additional issues of impacts not accounted for in the project environmental analysis, including effects on agricultural acreages and wet lands. Mr. Browne believed the environmental documents for the project required corrections that, if not addressed, could be raised as grounds for dismissal of the Interim City Attorney Jonathan Hobbs confirmed he had received the letters submitted by Mr. Browne, and stated that the addenda prepared for the project identified impacts on agriculture, geology, and additional impacts, and that the addenda were the proper documents in this instance, and adequate for purposes of moving forward with the environmental analysis. The standard for use of addenda was whether or not there were changes to be made to a project which did not rise to the level of substantial changes requiring major revisions to the negative declaration. The environmental analysis of the Mitigated Negative Declaration, approved in 2005, would be brought into  condemnation proceedings being considered for the Project.  current day compliance through the adoption of the addenda. Mayor Detrick declared the public hearing closed.  Inr reply to Council Member Davis, Mr. Hobbs noted staff requested approval of addenda to then move forward on the resolution of neçessity to consider condemnation proceedings of the three properties identified. If the addenda were not approved, condemnation proceedings would be delayed. Mr. Hobbs clarified that the condemnation proceedings enabled the City to start the condemnation process, but time Inr reply to Council Member Hume, Public Works Director Richard Shepard noted that in comparing the effects of the project implementing a retaining wall versus a fill embankment, substantial truck trips would be generated under both scenarios. Mr. Shepard noted a causeway or bridge typically ran 10 to 20 times the cost of an embankment, and subsequently was not considered as such an alternative was cost Mr. Angell stated the environmental analysis for construction and construction hauling was based on pounds of emissions per day thresholds as established by the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District. He clarified that the addenda tot the original Mitigated Negative Declaration found insignificant impacts between the Motion: M/S Cooper/Detrick to adopt Resolution No. 2011-206 approving Addenda 1,2, and 3 and a minor amendment to Mitigation Measure 3.4.41 to the Grant Line Road Widening Project (Project) Mitigated Negative Declaration and approving the proposed project, identified as Project Alternative 2 in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, as modified by the addenda.

Agenda Item No. 9.3:  A public hearing to consider adopting a resolution declaring  the necessity and authorizing the commencement of eminent domain proceedings to  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, October 26, 2011 Page 7of13    secure real property interests necessary to construct the Grant Line Road Widening  Project  RECOMMENDATION  Adopt resolution declaring the necessity and authorizing the commencement of eminent domain proceedings to secure real property interests necessary to construct the widening of Grant Line Road between Survey Road and the newly aligned Waterman With the aid of an overhead presentation (filed), Julie Cline, Real Property Manager, provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation. The resolution of necessity would enable the City to commence condemnation proceedings to ensure acquisition of property for the Grant Line Road Widening Project. Item 9.2 provided an overview of the Project and its history, and to commence eminent domain proceedings, the resolution of necessity needed to establish the public need for the project under four factors: 1) that the public interest and necessity required the Project, 2) the proposed Project was planned to be the most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury, 3) that the real property interests identified in the resolution were necessary for the project, and 4) that offers had been made to property owners in compliance with Government Code Section 7267.2. Ms. Cline reviewed exhibits and maps displaying the properties acquired to date, and of the six still required for the Project an agreement had been reached with Capital Valley Partners, a tentative dedication agreement had been made with International Paper Company, and staff were actively working with Union Pacific Railroad to negotiate for right-of-way as part of a Construction Maintenance Agreement. She reviewed the locations and acreages required for the three properties that were the subject of the resolution of necessity: Cyprus Abbey Company, the Kendrick property, and the Blonien Property. She provided an overview of the right-of-way acquisition process, noting properties were appraised by a licensed real estate appraiser, and the property owners were given an opportunity to meet with the appraiser to provide relevant data and information to aid the appraiser in developing an evaluation. The City tendered offers to each of the property owners in late July and early August, and those offers were based on the full amount of the appraisal. At this time no formal counter offers had been received from the three properties. Ms. Cline clarified that Staff would continue to negotiate with the property owners, but at this juncture it was important to move forward to seek possession in Inr reply to Mayor Detrick, Ms. Cline noted initial contact commenced with the property owners starting January 2011, offering initial meetings to provide an overview and indication of the project design, and initial offers were made six months after that initial  Road.  order to meet project timelines to advertise the Project in spring.  outreach.  Mayor Detrick declared the public hearing open.  PUBLIC COMMENT:  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, October 26, 2011 Page 80 of13    Scott Browne, attorney representing Cyprus Abbey Company, requested the item be continued to allow time for his client to discuss the matter with City staff. He noted a counter offer had not been made yet as his client was in the process of having their own appraisal done. He did not believe the project proposal was being done in a way that did minimum injury to the private interests involved, as the movement of the road to the south, with the embankment, took more of his client's property. He incorporated by reference all comments he previously made under Item 9.2, including the two letter submittals (filed), in regards to the environmental addendum. He stated the proposal would take his client's access from Grant Line Road, a property originally purchased as the owner believed Grant Line Road would become a major, regional arterial route. Without direct access to Grant Line Road it would adversely affect the potential use of the property, and the proposed alternative of a frontage road to the property was inadequate. Mr. Browne requested staff evaluate alternatives to improve access, and consider accounting for options of potential future, developed uses that may be required Planning Director Taro Echiburu confirmed to Mayor Detrick that future impacts created during the development of a property would be the responsibility of the owner for such Interim City Attorney Hobbs noted the amount of money that the City would be required to pay was not the subject of this hearing, and property owners could continue to seek appraisals and address the amount of compensation for a given property. The issue of the item was to determine whether it was appropriate to authorize commencing condemnation proceedings, and if such proceedings were authorized, City staff would  for the property.  improvements.  continue negotiations with all property owners. Mayor Detrick declared the public hearing closed.  Motion: M/S Scherman/Davis to adopt Resolution No. 2011-207 declaring the necessity and authorizing the commencement of eminent domain proceedings to secure real property interests necessary to construct the widening of Grant Line Road between Survey Road and the newly aligned Waterman Road. The motion passed by the  following vote: Ayes: 5; Noes: 0.  REGULAR AGENDA ACTIONITEMSRECOMMENDATIONS  Agenda Item No. 10.1: Receive direction regarding the proposed Homeless Joint  Powers Agreement RECOMMENDATION:  Receive a presentation regarding the Sacramento County Department of Human Assistance proposed transition of homeless responsibilities to a non-profit agency governed via a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA), and provide direction to County staff With the aid of an overhead presentation (filed), Paul Lake, Director of the Sacramento County Department of Human Assistance, provided an overview presentation regarding the proposed transition of the management of a large portion of homeless programs  related to the Agreement's structure.  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, October 26, 2011 Page 9of1 13    from Sacramento County to the private, non-profit agency Sacramento Steps Forward, under the governance model of a regional Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) to establish priorities and provide oversight. He reviewed recent history of homeless programs in the region, noting that prior to 1993 the Continuum of Care Program, funded through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), brought $15 million of funding to provide services to the homeless, and was managed by a housing and redevelopment agency. In 1993 that responsibility transferred over to the Sacramento County Department of Human Assistance. In 2006, HUD revised requirements for the program application, and two significant changes included requiring each community to create a policy board and to establish a 10-year plan to eliminate chronic homelessness (defined as someone being homeless for a year or more). The policy boàrd was created and the plan was completed in 2006, and in 2009 the policy board was renamed as Sacramento Steps Forward and expanded to include additional business partners, school districts, and cities. In 2010 funding for Sacramento County Department of Human Assistance staff was significantly reduced from 30 employees to four, and subsequently the department was not able to maintain the management of the system, placing the $15 million of funding at risk. Prior to 2010, the official homeless count was approximately 3,000 homeless to 30 staff, with recent counts at 2,400 homeless to the four staff. The number of chronically homeless individuals had dropped 50% in the last four years, but there had been an increase in the number of homeless families. Sacramento Steps Forward had become incorporated, and HUD had officially recognized Sacramento Steps Forward as the lead agency, the first step in transitioning the responsibility of these administration programs, but the next component was creation of a Joint Powers Authority (JPA), to provide representation and oversight by regional agencies. Mr. Lake submitted an informational packet (filed) summarizing functions of the JPA, including setting program priorities, continuing to serve as the public agency aspect of the program to continue eligibility for certain grant funding, and advising on maximizing Sacramento interregional coordination. The JPA was anticipated to meet twice a year, and currently was proposed to have agency membership of one representative. per increment of 200,000 in jurisdiction population, comprised of elected officials appointed by each respective, member local agency Council Member Davis supported the JPA being proposed, creating the opportunity to bring an inclusive perspective to address homelessness issues across regional communities. Mr. Davis estimated a count of over 100 homeless in Elk Grove, and inquired if the JPA would be designed to support local volunteer organizations, noting the Elk Grove Homeless Solutions Committee and the local network of support services Mr. Lake stated the JPA would be intended to provide such funding to participating agencies, with local agencies establishing priorities to identify where the application of services was needed for the community, and the JPA identifying such priorities for those Council Member Hume expressed concern whether the creation of the JPA was diverting county obligations for these services to local jurisdictions. He noted that other JPAS required funding from member jurisdictions to offset costs of administration, and  legislative body.  would benefit from funding and support through such a JPA.  programs and objectives applied for through the JPA.  inquired if a similar structure was being proposed.  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, October 26,2011 Page 100 of13    Mr. Lake stated that he and the Executive Director of Sacramento Steps Forward were initially proposed to provide the staff support to form and initiate the JPA at no cost, but staffing needs would need to be evaluated ift the JPA progressed forward. Council Member Scherman observed the proposal was similar to the model used by the Sacramento Employment and Training Agency (SETA), allocating funding received from government grants to participating member regional agencies. She expressed concern for how the program would balance contributions and input from local agency members with the allocation of resources based on the varying priorities of participating agencies. Mr. Lake stated that access to the funding received through the HUD grant would be received by programs providing services, as allocated by policy decisions of the member agencies through the JPA. Member agencies would provide input into the criteria for applications, the JPA would establish the strategic plan with specific priorities and objectives, and those program applications in concordance with the strategic plan would receive funding. He noted that those agencies that provide services, like a food bank or shelter provider in Elk Grove, would be part of the application process, and those funds would not pass through the City, but be allocated directly to the provider Vice Mayor Cooper lauded the success of regionalization through the governance model of a JPA, and that JPAS were an effective means to increase eligibility for funding  through the program.  opportunities. PUBLIC COMMENT: None.  The City Council voiced support to continue exploration of the development of the proposed Homeless Joint Powers Agreement, and noted Housing Program Manager Sarah Bontragerwould serve as the City liaison to assist in developing the program.
