HomeMy WebLinkAbout2018-05-08; City Council; ; Authorize a Right of Entry Permit with the State of California Department of Parks & Recreation to maintain the Upper Picnic Facilities at Tamarack State Beach and the CoThe boundary of the Picnic Facilities is depicted in the attached aerial photograph [Exhibit 2]. It
includes approximately 1.5 acres of passive turf, hardscape, raised planters, trees, picnic tables
and benches, trash receptacles, two showers, a drinking fountain, a stairway with adjacent hand
railing, a blockhouse restroom and a corresponding wastewater pump station. The boundary of
the Coastal Bluff is depicted in the attached aerial photograph [Exhibit 3]. It includes
approximately 4.8 acres of slopes which contain a predominantly native plant material, and a
permitted/improved footpath near the northern and southern ends of the boundary.
The City and State entered into the initial Permit on May 20, 2014, for a term ending on May 19,
2015. The Permit allowed the city to: 1) enter onto the Picnic Facilities solely for the purpose of
" ... maintaining landscaping, irrigation systems, hardscapes, and daily facility housekeeping tasks
for the comfort station (i.e. blockhouse restroom) ... ", and 2) enter onto the Coastal Bluff solely for
the purpose of " ... revegetating native coastal bluff habitat, retrofitting/expanding existing
irrigation system, and maintaining said vegetation and irrigation system .... " The intent of the initial
Permit was to allow the City a means of entering the Picnic Facilities and Coastal Bluff to commence
improvement and maintenance services.
Under the initial Permit, the City achieved the following results at the Picnic Facilities: pruned or
removed trees/shrubs and renovated turf areas; retrofitted irrigation systems and re-landscaped
planters; replaced corroded steel handrails with aluminum handrails; replaced dilapidated
benches, tables and trash receptacles; installed a drinking fountain and two outside showers; and
refurbished the restroom building. In addition, the City achieved the following results at the
Coastal Bluff: removed invasive and non-native plants; installed an on-grade irrigation system;
planted over 5,000 native plants; and erected post and cable fencing. Both of these sites were also
placed on a regularly scheduled maintenance program.
Based on the successful results achieved at these sites under the initial Permit, the City and State
entered into Permits for 2015, 2016 and 2017. The City's desire is to execute a long term
agreement with the State which would allow for continuation of the services identified in the
Permit, as well as the potential for expanding maintenance and operations services to other State-
owned properties within the City.
At the City Council's direction, staff has held several meetings with representatives of the State's
local and district offices to discuss the potential for a long-term operating agreement on the Picnic
Facilities, Coastal Bluff, and other State-owned properties. As no long term agreement has been
realized to date, staff recommends the authorization of another Permit on the Picnic Facilities and
Coastal Bluff for one year, beginning May 20, 2018, and ending May 19, 2019. According to the
State, a Permit can only be issued in a term of one year.
Fiscal Analysis
On May 20, 2014, the City Council allocated $899,930 in capital funds for one-time improvements
to the Picnic Facilities and Coastal Bluff, and $115,000 in annual operating funds for the ongoing
maintenance of these areas. Sufficient operating funds are therefore currently available in the
adopted FY 2017-18 Parks Maintenance Budget, and will be included in the requested FY 2018-19
Parks Maintenance Budget, to address the corresponding ongoing maintenance.
May 8, 2018 Item #6 Page 2 of 16
Next Steps
Staff will continue to administer the maintenance of the Picnic Facilities and the Coastal Bluff
according to City program standards, through May 19, 2019. During that period, staff will also
further the discussions with the State on a long-term operating agreement for these properties,
and other State-owned beach properties.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, the recommended action does not constitute a
"project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical
change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment, and thus does not require environmental review.
Public Notification
This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public
viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting date. Additionally, agenda
items on the Right of Entry Permits with the State, and the results achieved by the City on the
Picnic Facilities and on the Coastal Bluff, have been presented at numerous public meetings
between 2014 and 2018, including the City Council, the Parks & Recreation Commission, the Beach
Preservation Committee, and the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee Program Committee. The
Permits and the results achieved were also the subject of several media releases and city website
postings during the same period.
