Non-Native Invasive Exotics & Other Plants Overgrowing Trails in Mission Trail Nature Preserve

Obscured Trail in Mission Trail Nature Preserve
Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA.
Scientific Name: Genista monspessulana
Common Name: French Broom
Distinction: Non-Native Invasive Exotic

Not only does the City’s General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan Coastal Resource Management mandate “trail maintenance and clearance” annually, it encourages the removal of both intentionally introduced plants and invasives. As depicted in the photo above, Genista, a non-native invasive exotic, is overgrowing the trail. On other parts of the trail system, encroaching ivy and poison oak are overgrowing the trails. In short, non-native invasive exotics and other plants are overgrowing the trails in Mission Trail Nature Preserve due to a lack of trail maintenance and a failure to adhere to the General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan.

O5-28 Prepare annual maintenance plans for habitats within the Preserve. Encourage native vegetation to re-establish on sites previously mowed, cut, or invaded by exotic species. (LUP)

P5-124 Consider removal of both intentionally introduced plants and invasives by instituting an annual program through joint efforts of contract workers and volunteers. (LUP)

P5-125 Research the most appropriate time for mowing grasses to encourage the growth of native plants and discourage exotics and schedule accordingly. (LUP)

P5-140 Formalize a trail through Martin Meadows. (LUP)

VII. Consent Calendar

C. Consideration of a Resolution entering into an agreement with Nichols Consulting Engineers for a 2007 Pavement Management and Truck Impact Fee study in an amount not to exceed $60,300.

City Administrator Rich Guillen presented the staff report written by Administration Services Director Joyce Giuffre, dated March 13, 2007.

City Administrator Rich Guillen:
“During the budget hearings last May, the council did get into some discussion regarding our streets and the condition of our streets and whether we should actually think of upgrading them. And at that time instead of selecting the streets randomly, we discussed possibly going back to the study that had been done in 1997 which was a pavement management study. The pavement management study that came out in the late 90s was mainly a result of trying to obtain federal funding. And they were required at that time. Today, they are no longer required. But, I thought that I would recommend at the time of the budget hearing to kind of update our pavement management study, which I didn’t think would take a large amount cost so that we would have empirical data to base our decisions on what streets need to be repaired quicker than others so what we did is we contacted, after some time, contacted the consulting engineering firm that did the original 1997 and apparently they did a 2003 amendment, and that was Nichols Consulting Engineers and so we met with them and discussed updating the report. And I think you see the tasks at the very back of that on page 36 of your packet."

"As a sub note to that, we also have been monitoring what the city of Monterey did as far as the truck impact fees and they were successful in adopting a fee for any type of truck that comes into their city because typically a truck is equivalent to 6 to 10 cars on your streets so every truck that drives on your street is like 6 or 10 cars have driven in that same location. So we asked Nichols Consulting Engineers to take a look and also developing criteria so there would be the nexus between what the impacts are and what the fee we’re going to charge the truck companies for coming into our city and so they added that as an additional scope of work which is under task F of the list here."

"So basically what you have is a menu, and if you look at page 36, A through E are related to the pavement management system update, and that is related to the road impact fee study. You can do any combination of A through E, if you want to, like I said it is no longer required by federal or state law, but it might be a useful tool for us and separate from that you can do F also or do A or F or F alone. So with that I conclude my report. The total cost is $60,300."

XI.Orders of Council

A. Consideration of an Encroachment Permit Request from Mr. and Mrs. Boghosian for the placement of a paver pad, bench, stones and water hose-bibb in the public right-of-way at 24936 Lincoln Street.

During deliberations, a verbal exchange occurred between City Council Member Paula Hazdovac, City Administrator Rich Guillen and Mayor Sue McCloud, as follows:

City Council Member Paula Hazdovac: “...but the lights that go all up and down the street, how will that be addressed, even though it’s not a part of this?”

City Administrator Rich Guillen: “Well, I think what staff would recommend that they also be removed.”

City Council Member Paula Hazdovac: “O.K. Thank you.”

Mayor Sue McCloud: “I would like to point out that those were placed after they were told they were in violation...does there have to be some mention of the lights in there, we remove all items as soon as possible...”

COMMENTS:
Lights in the public right-of-way...reminiscent of Mayor McCloud’s installation of approximately 50 lights in the Ocean Avenue medians without public hearings and in violation of the Municipal Code. Or the city saying the city can post "No Bicycle" signs in Mission Trail Nature Preserve without public hearings and a California Coastal Commission permit, then being told by a California Coastal Commission Staff Member that the city must follow the same public procedure as the installation of "No Smoking" signs along Carmel Beach prior to the installation of signs, and then the city posting “application for municipal project review” notices in Mission Trail Nature Preserve for the installation of 13 “No Bicycles” signs in Mission Trail Nature Preserve. Or the city disseminating inaccurate information and/or never correcting the record about using the proceeds from the sale of the Flanders Mansion property to fund the Fire Station Seismic Retrofit Project when the city knew the sale of Flanders Mansion was in litigation and the Fire Station Seismic Retrofit Project was budgeted for and under construction. And on and on and on...Do As I Say (Not As I Do!) and As I Say (As I Do! Even When I Know It's Wrong!).

Addendum: Since the Honorable Robert A. O’Farrell, Judge of the Superior Court, granted Flanders Foundation's writ of mandate and directed “the attorney for Flanders to prepare an appropriate judgment consistent with this ruling,” the total city compensation for attorneys in this case could be estimated at approximately double Special Counsel William B. Conners' compensation, or a total of approximately $132,000.

Regular Meeting
Tuesday, March 13, 2007

X. Resolutions

A. Consideration of a Resolution to approve the transfer of the fiscal year 2005-06 General Fund surplus of $636,273 to the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund.

During City Council deliberations, City Administrator Rich Guillen stated the following:

“There was a question, do these funds or revenues that we place into capital improvement program funds have to remain those type of funds, and the answer is no, you can use them for something else if you decided to do that. So basically…we’re putting into a saving account for future use that the council can deliberate at your workshop during the budget process.”

Later, Mayor Sue McCloud and City Administrator Rich Guillen had the following exchange:

Mayor Sue McCloud: “...that $10 million you’ve referred for reserves, a lot of that isn’t available for reserve spending because it is like deferred workmen’s compensation and things that are restricted for use, when you factor those out, I’m not sure of the exact figure is, but it’s way less, is it half?"

Rich Guillen: “Yea, about half.”

Mayor McCloud: “About half that our reserves actually show because they’re not restricted.”

(Source: CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA California, Annual Financial Report, June 30, 2005, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Fund Financial Statements, Balance Sheet – Governmental Funds.)

• The Government Funds, or commonly referred to as reserve funds, are categorized for auditing purposes as Reserved, Unreserved /Designated and Unreserved/Undesignated. To use Fiscal Year 2004/05 as a reference due to the itemization of the Unreserved/Designated items, of the total $8,898,422, benefits and workmen’s compensation equaled 16%; liability and health insurance equaled 16%; capital improvements, equipment replacement and street/traffic safety equaled 19%; Undesignated equaled 14%; Reserved for debt service and other Unreserved/Designated equaled 35%.

• An analysis indicates that the City Council has the discretion and ability to spend up to all of the Unreserved/Undesignated amount for any project. (FY 2005/06 Undesignated: $3,053,341). Furthermore, for capital improvement projects, the city has approximately $1.7 million available for expenditure. The City Council also has the discretion at any time to move amounts from one Unreserved/Designated item to another item.

• Basically, the City is the authority over allocations and amounts in reserve fund items.

• On a City Reserve Policy: The reserve policy of any given city is at the discretion of the elected representatives of a given city. Given that the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is a one industry tourism village, a “prudent” reserve policy may be a goal of reserve fund amounts between 6 months to 1 year of income; or in the case of Carmel, between $6 million and $12 million. Still, reserve funds are reserve funds, whether Reserved, Unreserved/Designated or Unreserved/Undesignated; $9.6 million in reserve funds relative to an annual budget of approximately $12 million is extraordinarily high compared to other California cities.

• Voters ultimately decide whether they want a City Council which views reserves as a savings account to accrue more and more money or a City Council which views reserves for basis employee and insurance obligations, emergencies and long-term projects. If voters continue to support the present City Council, residents will continue to see deferred maintenance projects unfunded. Alternatively, if voters come to believe that there is a dire need to fund projects such as the Scout House, the Forest Theatre and, as required by law and now the formal order of a Superior Court Judge, the Flanders Mansion, residents will seek to influence the present City Council to do more for the city’s infrastructure and historical and cultural assets or elect other residents to the City Council.
