HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM:
MINTZE CHENG, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
SUBJECT:
APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH HDR
ENGINEERING, INC. TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES
FOR RAILROAD AT-GRADE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING PROJECT; CITY
PROJECT NO. 14-14
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing contract amendment No. 3 in the amount
of $82,762 to the agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide design services for the railroad at-grade
pedestrian crossing project located on the eastern side of the Union City BART station.
BACKGROUND
At its meeting of March 25, 2014, the City Council authorized an agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide
engineering design services for the railroad at-grade pedestrian crossing.
The at-grade crossing will provide a pedestrian and bicycle access across the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR
Oakland Subdivision) tracks for an east-side entrance to the Union City BART Station. The project will provide a
pedestrian connection to the Union City BART Station with the Public Plaza and Station District’s Transit Oriented
Development adjacent to 11th Street. Currently, the only pedestrian crossing is at Decoto Road.
DISCUSSION
HDR Engineering, Inc. was chosen as the most qualified firm based on a review of several factors such as
experience and qualifications of the project team on similar projects, understanding of the project scope and
experience working with UPRR. The final negotiated contract amount with HDR Engineering, Inc. was in the
amount of $107,819.
On Nov. 17, 2015, Contract Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $39,987 was issued to HDR Engineering, Inc. for
supplemental work required by UPRR to improve safety features in the design. This brought the contract amount
total to $147,806. This amount was within the City Manager’s signature authority who signed the amendment per
staff recommendation.
In a letter dated July 27, 2016, HDR Engineering, Inc. requested an additional $107,762 in order to complete the
design. The increase in fee is due to the complex design features and additional structural design calculations and
details required to incorporate the new architectural features at the crossing.
In order for the work to resume with minimal loss of time, Contract Amendment No. 2 was issued in the amount of
18
$25,000 from the requested amount and signed by City Manager, for a total contract amount of $172,806.00.
If approved, Contract Amendment No. 3 for the remaining requested amount of $82,762 will bring the contract
amount to $255,568 and will allow HDR Engineering, Inc. to complete the design work.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City was awarded One-Bay-Area Grant Funds with the combination of Federal and ACTC Vehicle
Registration Fee (VRF) funding for Union City BART Phase 2 and the Pedestrian At-Grade Crossing in the
amount of $14,422,000. The total project budget for the Pedestrian Crossing design, easement and construction is
at $2,000,000.
Sufficient grant funds are available to amend the requested consultant agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Union City adopt the attached resolution to increase the total
contract agreement amount with HDR Engineering, Inc. by $82,762, bringing the total contract amount to
$255,568 to complete the design services for the Railroad At-Grade Public Crossing Project, City Project Number
14-14.

Resolution Authorizing Sale of Retired Police Service Canine Putz Di Casa Nosella
"Marx"
This item is brought forward seeking authorization to sell retired police canine “Marx” to his handler pursuant
to Police Department practice and policy.
BACKGROUND
On August 29, 2016, Union City Police Canine Putz Di Casa Nosella (“Marx”) retired from active service with
the Union City Police Department’s (UCPD)Canine Unit. Consistent with prior practice the police department
recommends the sale of “Marx” to his handler, Officer Chris Leete.
DISCUSSION
Canine “Marx” is over nine years old, sixty-three dog years, and has been in service with the police department
for six and one half years. During this time “Marx” has lived and been socialized with Officer Leete and his
family. Due to Marx’s age, trainers do not recommend he be retrained or assigned to a different handler and
because of “Marx's” handler protection and suspect apprehension training it would not be practical to place
him with anyone else.
UCPD policy allows for the purchase of the canine at separation from the Canine Unit, giving the handler the
option of purchasing their canine from the City for the price of one U.S. dollar.
Officer Chris Leete would like to purchase “Marx” and is willing to sign an agreement holding the City
harmless for any future costs or actions associated with “Marx”.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the sale of former
UCPD Canine Officer, “Marx” to Officer Chris Leete.

AWARD OF CONTRACTS FOR PURCHASE OF FOUR POLICE UTILITY
VEHICLES, CITY PROJECT NO. 17-04
Four (4) Ford 2017 Police Interceptor Utility vehicles are recommended to replenish the Union City Police Department
(UCPD) reserve fleet. Staff recommends approval of a resolution authorizing the purchase of four (4) Ford 2017 Police
Interceptor Utility vehicles to replenish the UCPD reserve fleet from Wondries Fleet Group (Alhambra, CA) for a total
cost of $166,556.76 through the City of Los Angeles Contract #000-1707409, and authorizing the disposal of
decommissioned Units #104, #113, #115, #147, and #161 at public auction.
BACKGROUND
Due to the special needs of the UCPD, the City maintains a reserve fleet of 4-5 patrol vehicles for quick
deployment. Due to recent and upcoming vehicle decommissioning, the reserve fleet will be depleted as reserve
units are transferred into active service. Therefore, the staff recommends purchasing four (4) new vehicles to
replenish the Police Department reserve fleet.
DISCUSSION
Currently two Police patrol vehicles (Units 104 and 113) have had numerous mechanical issues and staff has
determined it is prudent to decommission these two units and replace them with new Reserve Fleet vehicles.
This year, there are three (3) more UCPD patrol vehicles (Units 115, 147, and 161) with high mileage and years of
service that should be replaced with new units as well. Once these old units are decommissioned, they will be
ready to be auction off.
Here is the summary list of the five (5) vehicles to be decommissioned and auctioned off:

Currently, there are five (5) UCPD reserve vehicles available to be deployed, and due to the decommissioning of
the vehicles listed above, the existing reserve vehicle pool will be depleted.
Starting in 2013, the standard for Police Department patrol units changed from the Ford Crown Victoria Interceptor
(discontinued model) to a Ford all-wheel drive utility vehicle with front door ballistic panels. These vehicles are
available from Wondries Fleet Group of Alhambra, CA under the cooperative purchase provision of the City of
Los Angeles Contract #000-1707409 at total cost of $41,639.19 per vehicle (including tax, extended warranty, and
delivery).
Staff recommends that the City purchase four (4) Ford 2017 Police Interceptor Utility vehicles to replenish the
Police Department reserve fleet from Wondries Fleet Group (Alhambra CA) for a total cost of $166,556.76.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the replacement of the four Police Department vehicles is budgeted in the Vehicle Replacement Fund
(Fund 6122). Sufficient funds are available in the Vehicle Replacement Fund for the said purchase.
The proceeds of the auction of said old units will be credited to the said Vehicle Replacement Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the purchase of four (4) 2017
Ford Police Interceptor Utility Vehicles by awarding the contract to Wondries Fleet Group of Alhambra, California

AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE OF ONE UTILITY TRAILER FOR
PUBLIC WORKS, PROJECT NO. 17-05
A resolution has been prepared authorizing the purchase of one RJ Landscape-Style (LS) Utility Trailer from Orlandi
Trailer, Inc. (San Jose CA) in the amount of $3032.86 to replace Unit #575. Staff recommends approval of the
proposed resolution.
BACKGROUND
Existing Unit #575 is a 2002 Jacobsen H-6125 Equipment Trailer (VIN #1J9DE2E2X2F015909 and License Plate
E949253) with a broken front axle. Because it is not cost effective to perform repairs on Unit #575, it has been
removed from service. Staff recommends replacement of Unit #575 with a new Utility Trailer, with Unit #575 being
auctioned to the highest bidder.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Department (PW) uses utility trailers for hauling equipment, materials and tools for our daily
operations. Recently purchased RJ LS trailer (Unit #515) has performed well for Public Works use, so staff
recommends the replacement unit for Unit #575 be a RJ Utility Trailer, as well.
Two bids were received and Orlandi Trailer Inc. of San Jose provided the low bid. Public Works staff
recommends that the City purchase a RJ LS 6.5x12 7K Utility Trailer from Orlandi Trailer Inc. for the total amount
of $3,032.86.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the replacement of the said equipment trailer is budgeted in the Vehicle Replacement Fund (Fund
6122). Sufficient funds are available in the Vehicle Replacement Fund for the proposed purchase.
The proceeds of the auction of Unit #575 will be credited to the Vehicle Replacement Fund.

ADOPT RESOLUTION REJECTING BIDS FOR PROCUREMENT OF ONE
REGENERATIVE AIR STREET SWEEPER; CITY PROJECT NO. 16-27
A resolution has been prepared rejecting all bids for procurement of a Regenerative Air Street Sweeper. Staff
recommends approval of the proposed resolution.
BACKGROUND
At the regular City Council Meeting on July 12, 2016, City Council approved the contract specifications for
one regenerative street sweeper and its advertisement for bids. Two (2) bids were received and opened on
August 2, 2016. The bidders were Owen Equipment of Fairfield, California with a bid amount of $263,329.05
and Municipal Maintenance Equipment, Inc. of Hayward, California with a bid amount of $237,550.00. The
bid amounts were within +/-5% of engineer’s estimate of $250,000.00.
DISCUSSION
Due to the absence of key operation & maintenance staff members during the sweeper bidding process, some
requirements listed in the specifications for the street sweeper were not clear or complete enough, which could
have skewed the bid price.
Staff believes it will be to the City’s benefit to reject all bids and revise the specifications to include requirement
and recommendations from the City's Lead Vehicle Heavy Equipment Mechanic. Staff plans to re-advertise
and bid the project on September 15, 2016, with bid opening on September 29, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact to the project funds since the requested City Council action is to reject all bids
for this project.

A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR YOUTH SOCCER AND
RECREATION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM GRANT FUNDS FOR
REPLACEMENT OF ARTIFICIAL TURF FIELDS AT SHORTY GARCIA PARK,
CITY PROJECT NO: 16-08
In order to be eligible to apply for the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) funds, the City
must adopt a resolution that approves the filing of an application for the project; certifies sufficient funds are available to
complete the project; and certifies that if the project is awarded there are sufficient funds to operate and maintain the
fields.
Staff recommends that a resolution be approved authorizing an application for a State DPR grant for the artificial turf
field replacement at Shorty Garcia Park.
BACKGROUND
On March 1, 2016, the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Grants and Local
Services (OGALS) released the application guide for the California Youth Soccer and Recreation Development
Program. Applications for grant funds from this program are due to the State by November 1, 2016. The
maximum grant that an agency can request is $1,000,000.
The Youth Soccer Competitive Program intentions are to award on a competitive basis for: fostering the
development of new youth soccer, baseball, softball, and basketball recreation opportunities in heavily populated,
low income urban areas with a high youth crime and unemployment rate. This program emphasizes on creating new
opportunities along with water conservation measures. Funds are administered by the State of California,
Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS). The funds are available to
Cities, Counties, Park and Recreation Districts; Open Space districts; School Districts; and Community Based
Organizations.
The grant will fund all construction costs and requires the agency to fund all non-construction costs (such as
design, construction inspection and in house staff costs). These non-construction costs are considered to be the
agency’s local match amount.
DISCUSSION
39
After more than a decade of service, the Shorty Garcia Park Soccer Fields are in need of replacement. The
estimate cost to replace these "artificial turf" fields and make the necessary sub-drain improvements, including
non–construction costs is $1,350,000. Staff proposes to apply for the grant and use those funds to repair the sub
drain storm system and to replace the artificial turf field with new artificial turf. The grant request is for $1,000,000
with the City to provide a local match of $350,000.
The State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation requires that the governing body of the local agency
requesting funds pass a resolution approving the application for the funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the City is approved to receive the grant funds of $1,000,000, the City will need to provide $350,000 in matching
funds. These funds can be made available from the Special Parks Fund (Fund 2550).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the grant application to the
California Youth Soccer and Recreation Development Program for the Replacement of Artificial Turf Fields at
Shorty Garcia Park.

AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CUSTODIAL SERVICES TO MGR CLEAN-UP, INC.
IN THE AMOUNT OF $380,196.64; CITY PROJECT NO. 16-18
A bid opening was held at 2:00PM on August 25, 2016 for the Custodial Services contract. Three bids were received and
MGR Clean-up, Inc. was found to be the lowest bidder. This item is being brought to City Council to accept the
resolution awarding the contract to MGR Cleanup, Inc. for a contract total of $380,196.64.
BACKGROUND
On July 12, 2016 Council meeting, City Council was presented the item to reject bids for the custodial services contract.
The contract was rebid and a public bid opening was held at 2:00 PM on Thursday, August 25, 2016 revealing three
bidders; Imperial Maintenance Services, of Stockton, California, Nova Commercial Company, Inc. of Hayward,
California and MGR Clean-up, Inc. of Fremont, California. A bid summary, Exhibit A, is attached.
DISCUSSION
The resulting low-qualified bidder was MGR Clean-up, Inc. with a base bid amount of $341,092.64. Not included in the
base bid amount above is an alternate bid item to include Day Porter service in this contract. The library has had much
success with their day porter and the city would like to expand this service across all facilities four days per week. A day
porter’s duties include: keeping public areas clean, safe, and providing daily cleaning support for heavily used areas or
cleaning emergencies. MGR’s price for the day porter service is $39,104.00. This price is still the lowest among the
three bidders. The total anticipated cost for this contract encompassing the base bid work and day porter service is
$380,196.64. A bid summary including the alternate bid item is attached as Exhibit B.
MGR Clean-up, Inc. is the current custodial service provider for the city and has been providing satisfactory service.
Thus, Public Works staff recommends the contract award to MGR Clean-up, Inc.
FISCAL IMPACT
Custodial services are administered by the Public Works Department, Facilities Maintenance Division. Funding for
custodial services is budgeted under the contract services account in the general fund (1110-3123-33023-54111).
47
Sufficient funds are available for the request service contract award.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution awarding the contract for custodial services
in the amount of $380,196.64 to MGR Clean-Up (Fremont, CA), City Project No. 16-18.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE USE OF FORMER TAX
INCREMENT FUNDS, SUBSEQUENTLY REIMBURSED BY THE GRANTS
FROM THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT (HCD), ON THE BART PHASE 1 AND BART PHASE 2
PROJECTS
This staff report and resolution authorizes the reinvestment of reimbursed grant funds received from the
California Department of Housing and Community Development into the BART Phase 1 and BART Phase 2
projects. Staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution.
BACKGROUND
Expenditures have been incurred on the BART Phase 1 and BART Phase 2 projects from a variety of sources,
including former (Redevelopment) Tax Increment funds. Expenditures expected to be submitted for
reimbursement from Federal and State grant funds are typically coded directly to the Capital Projects Fund
(Fund 4100). But sometimes it is not known whether such expenditures shall be submitted or accepted for
reimbursement, and in that case, they may be coded to other sources of funds. At the time of reimbursement,
any other sources of funds used are replenished.
The purpose of this staff report and resolution is to clarify and authorize that Tax Increment funds received as
reimbursement from the HCD grants be reinvested into the BART Phase 1 and BART Phase 2 projects.
DISCUSSION
Union City was awarded two separate grants from the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD); a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) grant in the amount of $7,637,102 and an Infill
Infrastructure grant (IIG) in the amount of $3,517,771. Both grants were authorized to be spent on the BART
Phase 1 and BART Phase 2 projects and both grants have been fully reimbursed by HCD.

funds, subsequently reimbursed by the Grants from the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD), on the BART Phase 1 and BART Phase 2 projects.

ACCEPTANCE OF WORK FOR THE 2015-16 UNION CITY BASE FAILURE &
SLURRY SEAL PROJECT; CITY PROJECT NO. 15-02
The 2015-16 Union City Base Failure & Slurry Seal Project is completed. This item is being brought to City Council to
accept the work performed by Pavement Coatings Co. for the total construction contract cost of $579,235.88. Staff
recommends approval of the proposed resolution accepting the work for the 2015-16 Union City Base Failure and Slurry
Seal Project, City Project No. 15-02
BACKGROUND
The 2015-16 Union City Base Failure & Slurry Seal Project bid opening occurred on May 12, 2016. The low bid
was $539,775.00 by Pavement Coatings Co. On May 24, 2016, City Council awarded the contract to the low
bidder, Pavement Coatings Co. of Woodland, California. At the same time, city staff presented a project budget of
$620,775.00. (The estimated project budget covers the construction contract amount, contingency, construction
engineering, inspection, staff cost, etc.)
Pavement Coatings Co. has completed the 2015-16 Base Failure Repair & Slurry Seal Project. The project was
completed in accordance with project plans and specifications and Pavement Coatings Co. has supplied the City
with all required bonding as specified in the contract.
DISCUSSION
This project consisted of repairing failed portions of pavement, applying slurry seal to the existing pavement
surface, installing new pavement markings, striping, new bike buffers, and installing new stop signs. The slurry seal
process consists of spreading a mixture of water, asphalt emulsion and crushed fine rock over the existing
pavement surface. Slurry sealing is considered a ‘preventative maintenance’ activity as it stops water from entering
the pavement thereby extending pavement life for several years. This project consisted of slurry sealing
approximately 1.11 million square feet of pavement surface. A list of the included streets is provided as Exhibit C.
The total construction contract cost to the city due to Pavement Coatings Co is of $579,235.88. The 7% increase
from the base bid amount is due to additional pavement repair quantity and bike buffer design changes as
requested by the City Engineer. The additional pavement repair was performed on Union City Boulevard and
Almaden Boulevard to allow for a longer lasting surface on these two heavily used roads and design changes were
made to the new bike lane buffers on San Andreas Way and Almaden Boulevard. Striping design changes are
reflected in the quantity decreases and increases of the striping items. There are sufficient funds in the project
55
contingency to pay for these additional work.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is funded by a combination of City’s Measure B/BB (Funds 2542 & 2545) and Gas Tax (Fund 2510)
funds in the Capital Improvement Program Slurry Seal Programs budget. There are sufficient funds available in to
conclude this project.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting the 2015-16 Base Failure Repair &
Slurry Seal Project from Pavement Coatings Co. of Woodland, CA for the final contract amount of $579,235.88.

AWARD CONTRACT FOR 2016 SIDEWALK REPAIRS PROJECT IN THE
AMOUNT OF $229,885.00 TO GRACE CONSTRUCTION (CONCORD, CA, CITY
PROJECT NO. 15-05
A resolution has been prepared awarding a contract in the amount of $229.885.00 to Grace Construction
(Concord, CA) for the 2016 Sidewalk Repairs Project, City Project 15-05 . Staff recommends approval of the
proposed resolution.
BACKGROUND
This year’s sidewalk project consists of making improvements at approximately 205 locations within the City.
The project work comprises of repairing uplifted or damaged sidewalks that are located in areas throughout
the City. The locations were determined based field reconnaissance inspections that showed sidewalks have
been lifted due to tree roots or in response to resident inquiries about sidewalk conditions.
Quoting State law and City ordinance, approximately 200 residents were first sent letters in March of 2016
informing them of the estimated quantities and costs associated with repairing sidewalk fronting their
properties. They were given the options of paying lump sum, paying on a 12-month installment basis or the
least preferred option of placement of a lien on the property if they were not able to pay at all. City staff is
now in the process of sending a second notification letter to property owners informing them of their portion
of project costs based on contractor’s unit prices.
DISCUSSION
Bids for this project were opened on August 18, 2016 with six (6) contractors submitting bids. The bid
summary sheet is attached as Exhibit A. The total low bid of $229,885.00 from Grace Construction is
$28,035.00 or approximately 14% above the engineer’s estimate of $201,850.00. City staff attributes the higher
bid prices to an escalation in construction costs that has continued in the construction industry over the past
few years and to local concrete contractors with heavy project backlogs.
Grace Construction is a newly formed concrete construction company that has not completed previous
62
projects such as this. City staff has contacted Grace Construction and discussed the project in depth with the
project manager for Grace Construction. City staff is satisfied that Grace Construction has a project team in
place to perform well on this project. Thus, staff recommends awarding the contract to Grace Construction.
The City portion of the construction contract costs include for sidewalk repairs at City-owned properties, curb
and gutter repair, and traffic control activities. The City portion of the contract costs is estimated to be
$89,338.25. The remaining portion of the contract costs are the responsibility of property owners and are
estimated to be $140,546.75.
The estimate of total construction related costs are as follows:
Construction Contract (Grace Construction)
Construction Contingency (5% of Construction Contract)
Estimated Project Management/Administration (City Staff)
TOTAL
$ 229,850.00
$ 11,492.50
$ 11,492.50
$ 252,835.00
The City’s Measure B and Gas Tax funds, etc. will pay for the City portion of project construction and
management costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The bid results show that approximately $140,546.75 will be reimbursed by home owners whereas the
remaining approximately $89,338.25 will be covered by the City using a combination of Measure B funds
(Fund 2543) and State Gas Tax funds (Fund 2510). The portion of project costs that are reimbursable from
property owners will be paid for by State Gas Tax funds and deposited back in this account upon receiving
payment. There are sufficient funds in these sources to fund the project costs.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution awarding the contract to Grace
Construction (Concord, CA) in the amount of $229,850.00 for the construction of the 2016 Sidewalk Repairs
Project, City Project No. 15-05.

AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CASA VERDE PARK TRAILS AND
PLAYGROUND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $127,440 TO G.
BORTOLETTO & COMPANY, INC. (SAN CARLOS, CA), CITY PROJECT NO.
14-16, PHASE 2
A resolution has been prepared authorizing award of contract to G. Bortoletto & Company, Inc. in the amount
of $127,440.00 for Casa Verde Park Trails and Playground Improvements, City Project 14-16, Phase 2. Staff
recommends approval of the proposed resolution.
BACKGROUND
Three (3) proposals were received by August 31, 2016 to repave the asphalt trail pathways & other related
asphalt work throughout Casa Verde Park. The apparent low bid was for the amount of $127,440.00 by G.
Bortolotto & Company, Inc. with an estimated construction date of early 2017.
The State of California, Natural Resources Agency, Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Grants and
Local Services (OGALS) administers the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant. The LWCF
Program is a federally-funded program which provides grants to States and local governments for the
acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. In 2014, the City obtained a grant
of $250,000 from OGALS with an equal $250,000 match by the city. A copy of the grant contract’s
certification of funding is attached for reference (Exhibit C).
Phase 1 of the project was recently completed which consisted of the demolition and construction of three new
children playground areas and one sports court.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Casa Verde Park Trails Improvements is the second phase of the project improvements.
Existing asphalt pathways show signs of settlement, weathering, and cracks which provide a poor user
experience for wheelchair users and pedestrians alike. Approximately 36,000 square-feet of existing trails in
Casa Verde Park will be grinded down and resurfaced with new asphalt concrete pavement in this project. In
addition, one additional entrance to the park will be constructed at San Pedro Way to improve park
accessibility. The project limits are shown in an attachment (Exhibit B).
Competitive bid proposals were solicited for the project. Three (3) proposals were received by the deadline of

August 31, 2016 and the lowest responsible bid was by G. Bortolotto & Company, Inc. of San Carlos, CA
with the bid amount of $127,440.00 and with the estimated construction date of early 2017. A bid summary is
attached (Exhibit A).
G. Bortolotto & Company has worked for the City in the past with good results and city staff recommends the
construction contract, be awarded to G. Bortolotto & Company, Inc. in the amount of $127,440.00.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the entire project (Phases 1 and 2) consists of LCWF grant funds of $250,000 and the City's local
match of $250,000, which consists of $100,000 of Measure B Bike and Peds Funds (Fund 2543) and $150,000
from Special Parks Fund (Fund 2550). The total project budget (both phases) is $500,000. Approximately
$118,000 of the project budget is remaining for Phase 2 of the project. Additional funds from Citywide Trail
System Rehabilitation Fund (2543-3199-91012) can be utilized to supplement the project. Sufficient monies are
available within said funds for the requested contract award.

SUBJECT:
ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE AMENDMENTS TO SECTIONS OF
THE ADOPTED MASTER FEE SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016-17
The City Council is being asked to consider adoption of a resolution amending sections of the Adopted Master
Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2016-17 and incorporating therein the new annual rates for municipal solid waste,
organic waste, recycling and storm water runoff surcharge fees. Staff recommends approval of the proposed
resolution.
BACKGROUND
Staff has verified that updates are needed to two sections and a correction made to a third section of the
Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2016-17 which was approved and adopted by the City Council on June
14, 2016 under Resolution No. 4923-16:
Public Safety Parcel Tax (Update)
Community Facilities District No. 2006-1 (Update)
Underground Storage Tanks-State Surcharge Fee (Correction)
DISCUSSION
Staff has reviewed the Master Fee Schedule and has identified that the FY 2016-17 Public Safety Parcel Tax
assessment rates shown on the Master Fee Schedule needed updating to be consistent with the FY 2016-17
rates submitted by NBS (the City's property tax consultant) for the FY16-17 tax roll. These updates occured
subsequent to the adoption of the Master Fee Schedule on June 14, 2016.
Community Facilities District No. 2006-1 is an annual tax to be paid as a Special Assessment along with annual
property tax. This Special Assessment is levied on all new residential developments conditioned to be annexed
into Community Facilities District No. 2006-1. Rates on the Master Fee Schedule require updating to be
consistent with the assessment rates on the tax roll.
The City's Underground Storage Tanks-State Surcharge Fee is set by, collected entirely on behalf of, and
remitted to the State. A $5.00 increase was put in place for the Underground Storage Tanks-State Surcharge
72
Fee for FY2016-17 to implement the anticipated state mandated fee increase effective July 1, 2016. The State
of California however, has recently announced that the proposed rate increase will not take effect until July 1,
2017. Hence, the $5.00 fee increase needs to be rescinded and the fee reverted back to the state-approved
based fee of $15.00 per tank. Administratively, $15/tank is being collected for and submitted to the State.
Below are the corrected sections of the Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2016-17:

ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPOINTING MEMBERS TO THE RENT AND
TENANT TASKFORCE AND APPROVING THE RENT AND TENANT
TASKFORCE CHARTER
The City received 32 applications for the Rent and Tenant Taskforce (“Taskforce”). Staff recommends that the
City Council review the applications and appoint Taskforce members, including the composition and number
of members on the Taskforce. Staff also recommends that the City Council approve the Taskforce Charter.
BACKGROUND
On May 17, 2016, the City Council held a study session to review rental market data and the different types of
tenant protection measures that are available. The City Council also heard testimony from property owners,
renters, and community advocates.
As a result of the May 17 study session, the staff returned to the City Council at the City Council meeting on
July 12, 2016, and sought direction regarding potential tenant protection measures to address rising rents and
displacement. Staff presented the following possible approaches: no action; establishing an ordinance to
require that landlords offer a minimum one-year lease term to tenants; establishing a rent review program that
would apply to qualifying rental units citywide; or establishing rent stabilization and “just cause” eviction
ordinance that would apply to rental units consistent with the Costa Hawkins Act. Following consideration and
deliberation, the City Council voted 4-1 to direct staff to prepare a framework for a taskforce to assist with the
consideration of possible tenant protection measures.
At the August 9, 2016 City Council meeting, the City Council reviewed the Taskforce Charter, attached as
Exhibit A, and the Taskforce recruitment application. The Taskforce Charter serves as the framework and
meeting guidelines for the Taskforce. The Taskforce is structured so that the City Manager will facilitate and
moderate meetings. The City Council directed staff to not set a limit on the number of task force members and
require that the number of members representing tenants and landlord be equal.
DISCUSSION
Recruitment Process
111
The Taskforce application was made available online and in hard copy from August 11, 2016 to September 6,
2016. Staff also undertook the following recruitment and outreach efforts:
Notices were emailed weekly to a tenant, landlord, and other community stakeholder list. This list
includes tenant advocate groups, landlord advocate groups, non-profit organizations, and faith-based
organizations;
Notices were posted weekly on the City’s Facebook page, on Nextdoor, and on the City’s online
newsletter;
Information was posted on the City’s website for the duration of the recruitment period;
Paper copy applications were made available at Ruggieri Senior Center, Kennedy Community Center,
Holly Community Center, and City Hall;
A press release was sent to local print media; and
Notices were either emailed and/or mailed to individuals that spoke at the May 17th Study Session and
the July 12th and August 9th City Council meetings.
Applicants
The City received 32 applications:
7 tenant representatives
11 landlord representatives
14 impartial community members
Included as Exhibit B is a summary of the applications broken down by applicant type. Exhibit B includes all
of the application information with the exception of the applicant’s personal contact information.
Selection Process
In order to assist the City Council with the application review, staff reviewed each applicant’s availability, place
of residence, and status (i.e. homeowner, renter, or landlord) and has provided the following analysis.
Availability
Staff determined that the majority of applicants are available on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday
evenings, as shown in Table 1 below. Staff recommends that the Taskforce meetings take place on Monday
evenings as this will ensure that there is sufficient representation from each group. Monday evenings also
maximize the number of tenant and landlord representatives that could be appointed to the Taskforce, assuming
that there should be an equal number of tenant and landlord representatives (See Table 2 below). For example,
up to 6 tenant and 6 landlord representatives could be appointed, if meetings are held on Monday evenings.

Other Preferences
In addition to availability, the City Council can take into consideration an applicant’s residency and status (i.e.

Taskforce that would meet Monday evenings. See Table 3 below.
Tenant Representative Preference: Union City Renters
Landlord Representative Preference: Landlords that own rental property in Union City
Impartial Community Member Preference: Union City residents that are neither a renter nor a
landlord (i.e. Union City homeowners)

Notes
There are only 3 Union City
renters available on Monday
nights and there are only 2 Union
City renters available all other
days of the week.
There are 4 Union City landlords
that the City Council could
choose 3 from.
There are 4 Union City
homeowners available on
Monday nights. Since there are
no restrictions on the number of
impartial community members,
the City Council could choose to
appoint all 4 applicants.
Total 9 to 10
*There is a 5th Union City Homeowner available on Monday Nights however based on their application it
appears they are not impartial and therefore were not included in this list.
If the City Council wanted additional members on the Taskforce, the City Council could expand preferences to
113
include applicants that represent interested organizations. This would increase the Taskforce up to 15
members, as shown in Table 4 below.

Due to availability limitations, staff recommends that the City Council appoint 3 to 5 tenant representatives, 3 to
5 landlord representatives, and 3 to 5 impartial community members. Additionally, the Council should
determine whether or not the number of tenant and landlord representatives should be equal.
Next Steps
Taskforce meetings will commence in October and staff anticipates holding 1 to 2 meetings per month. Below
is an overview of what the Taskforce meetings will cover:
Data Review
Rental market trends.

This will also include a Pros/Cons analysis of each option from a legal, cost, and administration
context.
Findings and Recommendations

Voting results will be presented to the City Council.
Staff anticipates returning to the City Council in early 2017 with the results of the Taskforce meetings.
114
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to forming the Rent and Tenant Taskforce, except for additional costs that may be
associated with additional staff time and participation and review by the City Attorney’s office.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
Appoint 3 to 5 tenant representatives, 3 to 5 landlord representatives, and 3 to 5 impartial community
members to the Rent and Tenant Taskforce.
Adopt a Resolution appointing individuals to serve on the Rent and Tenant Taskforce and approving the
Rent and Tenant Taskforce Charter.

Los Robles Apartments/
EAH Housing
I have been working in the apartment rental industry since 1989. I am currently working for a non‐profit organization that owns Los Robles Apartments (a 140 unit, affordable apartment community on Almaden Blvd). During the Dot Com boom of the late 1990's I managed the Parkside Apartments (a 208 unit conventional apartment community) on Decoto Rd. I have seen times when landlords were giving $100 ‐ $300 rent increases and Morning
Landlord wouldn't allow their residents to sign a lease because it meant that they (the Afternoon
Representative landlord) wouldn't be able to increase the rent if the market changed. I do Evening
have a deep sympathy for the people that rent and did not like giving those kind of rent increases. However, I do understand that the industry is market driven and owners are entitled to make money on their investments. I think that with my knowledge of the industry and empathy for those who must live in an apartment makes me uniquely qualified to help and serve on this taskforce. Yes

I am interested in fair, good housing for everyone, while maintaining our neighborhoods as desirable, inviting places to live.
As Director of Operations of Centro de Servicios, I see and talk to the people that are in need of assistance due to rent increases they deem unconscionable. Yet I am also cognizant of the other side. As a Director of the Union City Chamber of Commerce, I meet with members that are landlords and other property professionals so I understand their plight as well. Landlords are entitled to make a fair return on their investments. When their costs rise, they would like to be compensated for that. This is a not an issue with a simple answer. Any solution will take a great deal of give and take on both sides. A solution that only Morning Morning
favors tenants could have the effect of lowering the number of rental Afternoon Afternoon Evening
units in the city. It could force landlords to convert available units into Evening Evening
condominiums as has been done in Southern California. Favor landlords and tenants are displaced by drastically escalating rents that result in people leaving the area where they may work, moving in with family members, or joining the ranks of the homeless, no scenario of which benefits this city. I strongly believe that having a sensitivity to both sides of the issue makes me uniquely qualified to service as an unbiased panel member that is not driven by any particular agenda but rather solving a problem for the people of this city. 4

As a homeowner in Union City, I feel fortunate to be part of this community. I am aware of the some of the struggles renters have had recently due to increase in rents, and at times abuse from the landlords. However, in my community I have also seen how renters mistreat Evening
properties and don't abide by rental agreements. As an impartial community member, I feel I could offer an unbiased perspective. I understand that housing is the most expensive expense families have. However, housing is part of our community. And in order for our community to continue to thrive we need to ensure an equal balance. 10

I am keenly interested in real estate and policy matters and looking for a venue. I have opinions but no venue to express and my daily job as a scientist is very different. I do own 2 rental properties in Sacramento but none in bay area so I represent an impartial community member here. I am representing ECHO Housing. ECHO is funded by the City of Union City, and provides fair housing services, information and counseling regarding rental rights and responsibilities, and mediation to tenants Morning Morning
and landlords in Union City. We are very interested in rental issues, Afternoon Afternoon
how they impact the community and housing affordability, and would Evening Evening
like to contribute, wherever possible, our expertise in tenant/landlord and fair housing counseling to members of the Taskforce and the Council. I am a home owner that has been living in Union City for the past 10 years. The rent control will drastically affect the home prices & drive away other landlord/home owners. This will create additional negative downstream affects to reduce revenue collected. Consequently with less revenue, it will negatively impact education budgets & such. Evening

Exhibit B Taskforce Application Narratives Question #4 – I am interested in participating because: Applicant Name: Nwokoro (Duru) Ahanotu Status: Landlord Membership Type: Impartial Community Member Response: Housing is one of the most pressing economic issues in the SF Bay Area. I have long looked for a way to contribute to solutions and am excited by this opportunity to help right in my own community. For the last 7 or 8 years, I have written numerous article about housing from an economic, social and investment perspective on my blog (archive of articles here: http://drduru.com/onetwentytwo/tag/housing/). I am deeply interested in the topic and understand how getting housing "right" is vital to the health of a community. Note that while I am a landlord, I never intended to be one. In 2010/11, my family left behind homes in Georgia and decided to rent them out rather than sell at firesale prices. When I moved back to the Bay Area (I grew up in Berkeley), I rented a small one‐bedroom apartment in San Jose. When my wife and children joined me 7 months later, we rented a home in Fremont. We bought our current home in Union City in early 2014. Before I moved to Georgia in 2005, I rented small apartments in Mountain View and San Carlos from 1993 to 2005. In other words, I am intimately familiar with housing issues from a multitude of perspectives. Finally, I am an Engineer by training and professionally I have worked doing price optimization and now data science and engineering. I am a "data nerd" and consider myself a data‐driven decision‐maker. I was particularly interested in taking on this challenge as the charter seems to be a genuine attempt to bring data and analysis to bear on this very important issue. I have led several organizations in the past, am active in the Kitayama Elementary School PTA, enjoy public speaking, and am comfortable analyzing tough issues. I look forward to leveraging my interest, skills, and experience in helping Union City manage through this challenge. (FYI ‐ on meeting times, I have a strong preference for the evenings starting at 7pm. I included morning times where I can make myself available, if needed, after 8am and before 10am).

Applicant Name: Michael Chapman Status: Renter Membership Type: Tenant Representative Response: How would you feel if you got evicted from your apartment where you lived for your whole life? You probably wouldn’t like it. You will probably be mad and also sad. There are more people that are going to become homeless and that are going to live on the streets or in their cars because they want to build Better condos or apartments in places where people been living for a bargain price. In my opinion I am against this. I think if this happens that it will make more people homeless, rent money will go up to $2,500‐$10,000 dollars, and it will also change our community if we allow this to go on. Wouldn’t you love to help these families get off the streets and into a affordable apartment or home instead of having them sleeping in there cars or on the streets , because I know I would much rather have them in a nice, comfortable, warm cozy bed, having a roof over their head instead of them living on the cold streets or living in there cold cars at night with their children because they can not afford the rent. In Union City right now there is a hundred families homeless and about twenty families that live in car. Do you want this in your beautiful city that you love and care about? It is a terrible crisis that we even have this here in our own city that we all love and care about. There are families that work 2 jobs in order to survive and feed their family. People who are low‐income, disabled, and/or Senior Citizens do not have the income to pay these high rents. In Conclusion, I currently help out at the Union City Kids Zone as a volunteer and as a Community Council member with them, I love serving my community and the community members that it includes. I am very interested in participating in the Union City Rent and Tenant Taskforce because I love my community and my community members. There is a HUGE crisis within this City with affordable housing and the homeless population. I see and hear about Landlord’s that evict their tenants without them causing a problem, just because the water bill has gone up or another bill that the tenants never paid has gone up and that is not right at all that they do that and get away with it. I’ve been fighting for almost 3 years for Affordable housing, rent control, homeless people, and rent stabilization in San Francisco. In San Francisco they built this same type of Task Force and I watched them mess up that beautiful city that I love and care about. During that time from the start of the taskforce I watched that city turn into a Techie/ Hipster city. It does not look or feel like a mixed cultural city anymore like it used to be. I went to so many different rallies, protests, marches all for affordable housing and nobody listened to us in San Francisco, not the Mayor, City Council, Supervisors, Task Force, not anybody at all. That hurts me and everybody else from the community. I want to see change in this community and world. I want people off of the streets and into houses where they can raise a family properly instead of on the streets or in their cars. I believe that here in Union City, we can do better, we can listen to each other and come up with better solutions for the problem of affordable housing City Council/RSA Agenda
