15. PUBLIC HEARINGS
15.1 PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDED 2020 WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN BACKGROUND: In conformance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act), the City of Santa Rosa prepared its 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and its 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan (Shortage Plan). Both documents were adopted by City Council on June 8, 2021 and submitted to the State Department of Water Resources on June 30, 2021. State law allows each water supplier to amend its Shortage Plan independent of the UWMP. The City wishes to amend the 2020 Shortage Plan to revise the Excess Use Penalty structure that applies in severe stages of shortage and change the water demand offset requirements that apply to new construction when water is being allocated for existing customers. The Council will be considering adoption of the Amended 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public Utilities and Santa Rosa Water that the Council, by resolution: 1) adopt the Amended 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan; and 2) introduce an ordinance approving revisions to the Excess Use Penalty structure set forth in Section 14-04.015 of the City Code.

15.2 PUBLIC HEARING - WATER DEMAND OFFSET POLICY, FEE STUDY, AND FEES BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa is required by California State Law to prepare an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (Shortage Plan) every five years to assess the adequacy and reliability of water supplies for current and future needs as well as plan for and detail how the City will respond to various levels of water supply shortage. Staff will present the Water Demand Offset (WDO) Policy, 2021 WDO Fee Study, and WDO Fees which have been developed to implement the City's Shortage Plan requirement that new construction must offset water demand during water shortage emergencies that require very restrictive water allocations (water rationing) by the City's existing customers. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public Utilities and Santa Rosa Water that the Council, by resolution: 1) adopt the Water Demand Offset Policy; 2) adopt the 2021 Water Demand Offset Fee Study; 3) adopt the Water Demand Offset Fees; and 4) authorize the Water Demand Offset Fees to be adjusted on an annual basis to account for inflation at the beginning of the calendar year (January 1) starting in 2023, using the Engineering News Record's 20-Cities Construction Cost Index; and it is further recommended by the Board of Public Utilities that the Council consider a General Fund subsidy to offset the Water Demand Offset Fee for affordable housing projects.

15.3 PUBLIC HEARING - ADOPT THE SONOMA COUNTY MULTIJURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN AND UPDATE THE CITY'S EXISTING LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN BACKGROUND: Hazard mitigation is the use of long-term and short-term policies, programs, projects, and other activities to reduce or alleviate the loss of life, personal injury, and damage to property and natural systems that can result from a disaster. The City participated in a Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) planning process to increase collaboration around hazard mitigation planning and to serve as a five-year update to the City's existing Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) which expires on January 10, 2022. The MJHMP includes two volumes. Volume 1 contents apply to all participating partners and Sonoma County in its entirety. Volume 2 includes an Annex, or chapter, for each of the participating local agencies and special districts. The City of Santa Rosa Annex addresses City-specific vulnerabilities to natural hazards such as earthquake, flood, and wildfire and includes mitigation action items to minimize the effect these natural hazards have on people, property, and natural systems. The City's Annex updates the City's current LHMP and incorporates all actionable items included in the City's Community Wildlife Protection Plan. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and Economic Development and Fire Departments that the Council, by resolution: 1) adopt Volume 1 of the Sonoma County Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation plan, dated October 2021; and 2) update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan by adopting the City of Santa Rosa Annex to Volume 2 of the Sonoma County Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, dated October 2021, and the Appendices to Volume 2 of the Sonoma County Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, dated October 2021.
