Background
In 2017, the City Council adopted a goal to Consider the development of a broadband enhancementprogram or strategy within the City. Shortly thereafter, an Ad-hoc Committee of two CouncilMembers was formed to begin working on this goal.
On November 18, 2019, the City Council approved an agreement with Magellan Advisors toprovide consulting services to the City’s Fiber to the Home project. In March 2020, the City issueda request for proposal seeking construction and operation of a new fiber network by a privatetelecommunications firm. On November 9, 2020 Magellan provided a comprehensive update onthe project to the City Council. The update included the following recommended next steps forthe City Council to consider:
Perform subscriber commitment survey to formalize the network’s revenue opportunities
Use survey results to explore available bonding options for $5.8 million Inyo proposednetwork build
Measure willingness to consider bonding the asset should the survey and bondingapproach meet with the level of risk that is acceptable to the City
If survey results and bonding options support the City’s needs and risk tolerance, selectInyo as the City of Hidden Hills’ broadband partner, making a formal announcement tothe community to begin marketing efforts
On April 12, Magellan Advisors provided the City Council the results of the Fiber to the Homeresidential survey. Based on the second recommendation (above), on April 26, the City Councilentered into an agreement with NHA Advisors to advise the City Council on any and all potentialfunding options for the project.

MEMORANDUM

From: Craig Hill, Managing Principal
RE: City of Hidden Hills Broadband Service – Financing Strategies
Background
The City of Hidden Hills (the “City”) is considering the development of broadband fiberoptic service through the City’s service area in order to enhance internet speeds and expanded communications (the “Project”). Significant research and outreach were completed over the last year with positive indications for supporting and subscribing to enhanced broadband service.
Financing Options
The City’s ability to fund or finance capital projects is established under the California State Government Code. The City can borrow money at tax-exempt rates for qualified public benefit capital projects. All or a major portion of the Project will qualify for tax-exempt financing (providing for the lowest cost of funds compared to traditional financing rates).
There are several financing structures available to public agencies to fund infrastructure improvements including the proposed Project. Some require voter approval and others can be structured to not require the direct approval of registered voters. These financing options can typically be executed within 3 months; however, a voter approval process (if applicable) may take an additional 6 months to complete.
Voter-Approved
The City has the option to finance public improvements through general obligation bonds, special tax bonds or an assessment (limited obligation bonds). All require some form of vote of the registered voters but do not incumber the City’s general fund or put the City directly at risk for repayment of the bond obligation. Repayment of any bond is made through ad valorem property tax, a special tax or assessment levy on the property tax bill each year.
Direct Revenue Pledge
City utility enterprise funds are established to manage the revenues and expenditures specific to a service. In the case of the City’s Project, a new enterprise fund for broadband service would be created and all costs associated with providing that service would be charged into the fund. Likewise, charges for service would be deposited into the fund. Any “excess” revenues (after operating expenses are paid) would be available for bond debt service. There is no recourse to the City’s general fund nor the property owners within the City.

General Fund-Supported Financing
The most common financing tools used by California public agencies is the lease agreement structure (also known as certificates of participation when publicly offered). This financing structure is like an equipment or vehicle lease, requiring the City to make payments in exchange for the use of the asset. The difference between a tradition lease and a municipal lease is the remedy for non-payment. While traditional leases have repossession remedies, a municipal lease will only allow for the reletting of the asset (not repossession). This avoids municipal property or assets from being sold off.
The primary purpose of using a lease structure is to allow the City to put the general fund behind the financing and maximize the credit worthiness. This typically provides access to the lowest cost of funds for any public agency and is the reason most California public agencies will elect to structure their obligations through a lease agreement structure.
Funding Alternative (Internal Loan)
In addition, the City can “finance” the Project using existing reserves with the intent of collecting future revenues to replenish such funds. While this approach minimizes financing costs and potentially provides for a lower interest rate (paid to the City’s investment portfolio), it requires the use of the City’s existing reserves and minimizes liquidity the City may desire in future years while payments are being collected.
Financing Structures
Given the City’s organizational structure and legal authority to provide services (including utilities such as broadband), the City has the ability to:
(1) Advance existing funds in reserves to the Project (discussed above under Funding Alternatives) a. If this option is a consideration, the opportunity cost of utilizing existing funds should be
considered (i.e., lost interest earnings, competing priorities for reserve balances) b. City bears the risk of the Project not generating anticipated revenues for repayment
(2) Create an enterprise fund for the Project and pledge future net revenues (Direct Revenue Pledge) towards debt service
a. A broadband enterprise fund would operate similarly to a water, wastewater or recreation fund with the pledge of net revenues (after operating expenses are paid) to secure debt service payments
b. Shifts risk of future Project performance to investors/bank, given no historical data c. Protects City’s general fund from Project exposure but will require higher interest rate
(assuming investors/bank can get comfortable with the credit) (3) Enter into a lease agreement structure requiring future lease payments from the City general fund
(General Fund-Supported) a. Provides the highest credit quality and lowest interest rate b. Will include pledge of net revenues from broadband enterprise fund i. General fund will act as co-signer or backstop to financing
c. Will require encumbrance of a City asset for the lease structure (4) General Obligation, Special Tax or Assessment (property-based) financings require a vote of the
residents to levy an annual assessment on each property for a defined period of time a. Avoids any security interest in City assets of financial position b. Does require support through property tax (assessment or special tax levy)

c. Can fund broadband backbone as benefit to entire community with subscription service revenues covering participating residents and operational costs (as discussed in the Magellan Advisors Report dated 11/05/2020)
Financial Sensitivity
The proposed Project is anticipated to cost between $4.8 million - $5.8 million. Inclusive of capitalized interest, transaction costs, and potential debt service reserve fund, the City’s annual cost of financing the Project could range between $450,000 to $700,000, depending on the amortization term and interest rate. Under these assumptions, an interest rate differential of 1% would impact the annual debt service by approximately $50,000.
Comparing the above-mentioned financing structures, the variance in annual debt service could be $100,000 - $150,000 per year, depending on the length of the financing term and credit structure. Each structure presents various policy and financial tradeoffs for consideration. For instance, if protecting the City’s reserves and general fund is the highest priority, not considering the general fund-supported financing structure would be the best option BUT will come with higher interest rates. By including the City’s general fund in the financing structure, the cost of financing would be the lowest and allow for the costs of broadband service to be minimized which will lower the monthly subscription rates and potentially improve participation levels and support broader efficiency.
Based on our preliminary sensitivity analysis, assuming a $6 million total financing amount and structures under the scenarios described above, the estimated annual debt service and costs are summarized below.
Financial Analysis
Based on the Project pro forma provided in the Magellan Advisors report, we analyzed the projected revenues, revenue sharing proposal and estimated debt service under three “take rates”. The primary difference between our analysis and the table included in the Magellan Advisors report was the allocation of Project implementation costs across the entire residential base versus only those subscribing for the service.

As discussed previously, depending on the financing structure selected by the City, the costs of the Project will either require a form of ballot or vote of the registered voters or be solely paid by subscription revenues. Shown in the summary table above are two terms for financing the Project – a 10-year period and 15-year period. The shorter term will typically carry a lower interest rate, but higher annual payments given the greater principal repayment amounts. Another significant variable will be the number of active subscribers. Based on the “take rate”, the gross revenues projections generate sufficient funds to cover the debt service or introduce a shortfall. Our analysis does not take into consideration the proposed revenue split between the City and Project partner.
The assumptions for these two primary scenarios include:
• 10-Year or 15-Year Financing • 100% (670), 50% (335) or 30% (201) Take Rate (Subscribers) • Gross Monthly subscription rate of $125 or $150
o $70/month or $90/month is gross revenue split between City and Project partner o $35-$80/month per subscriber could be available for financing repayment (debt service)
Based on our preliminary analysis, assuming the proposed revenue split, the only scenario that likely does not expose the City to debt service shortfalls is where a high percentage, nearing 100%, of the residences subscribe for the service. This could be mitigated by some overlapping assessment on all benefiting properties (which would require the formation of an assessment district or CFD as discussed above).

Policy Considerations
The proposed Project presents some inherent risks associated with the demand for broadband and the projected revenue generation. Regardless of the relationship with the selected vendor, the operational costs will be in a priority position to any repayment of debt service. Understanding the likelihood of shortfalls in net revenues will guide a decision from both the creditor’s perspective and the City’s financial exposure.
Financing Process
Based on the Project financing structure, amount, and intention to seek direct funding from a single institutional investor or bank, NHA Advisors anticipates that a proposal package will be developed including (1) Project costs and revenue projections, (2) City financial information and (3) preferred terms. Current market conditions indicate that several banks should be interested in funding this Project dependent on their confidence in the Project pro forma. With the incorporation of the City’s general fund as a credit enhancement, more banks would be expected to participate and provide aggressive terms.
If the City determines that the Project is to be a stand-alone operation without the financial support of the general fund, this may impact the credit profile and limit bank participation (and subsequently present a higher cost of borrowing).

City Council sent letters of support for SB55 (Stern) and AB 787 (Gabriel). City has also sentin two additional letters of opposition for SB 9and will be considering a letter to Statelegislature regarding budget priorities at theirmeeting on June 14.
2021 Goal – Consider the creation of a Dog Parkin Hidden Hills
No action to report.
2021 Goal - Undertake various efforts andinitiatives to foster safer driving in Hidden Hills
The City recently performed speed surveys onLong Valley and Jed Smith Roads. Data fromthese surveys is being analyzed and will beshared with the City Council shortly. In addition,staff is reviewing various upgrades to the speedradar signs currently in the City. City receivedtwo petitions from residents: (1) requestconsideration of speed hump(s) on Long ValleyRoad; and (2) lowering of speed limit on LongValley to 25 mph. Staff requested a memo froman independent Traffic Engineer detailingnecessary steps to lower speed limit.Additionally, staff has arranged for a speedsurvey on Long Valley Road to occur over threedays in the first week in July. Discussion andconsideration of resident’s request will beagendized in the near future.
2020 Goal GREY SHADE IS COMPLETE.YELLOW SHADE INDICATES UPDATED ACTIVITY
2020 Goal - Reinitiate the 2017 Goal toimprove cell coverage in the City by activelyengaging both cell providers and potentialconsultants to assist the City.
Staff held an initial call with a Verizonrepresentative about potential cell coverageimprovements. At that time, there was noimmediate plans for Verizon improvements in theCity. In the fall, staff hosted a series ofdiscussions and a community walkthrough with afirm representing T-Mobile regarding possibleinstallation of equipment that would improve cellcoverage in the City. The City Council authorizedengagement with Magellan Advisors to beginconsulting services related to improving cellcoverage in the City. Magellan has identifiedseveral potential locations in and out of the Cityfor possible cell phone hardware and arrangedfor a walkthrough by a tower constructioncompany. Consultant’s strategy is multipronged,soliciting interest from tower companies to leaseproperty in the communities of Hidden Hills andMountain View Estates (MVE) and lease HiddenHills fiber optics to wireless providers through itsproposed fiber network. This approach reducesthe cost for wireless companies to install theirinfrastructure for deploying cell services andgenerates income through property and fiberleases for Hidden Hills and MVE. The selectedtower company will onboard the wireless carriersand they will also generate revenue throughleasing their vertical assets to the carriers. Fivepotential sites were selected for analysis. Ofthose, three sites are being evaluated further.These include two sites on ridgetops in HiddenHills and one at the water tanks located at thetop of Collette Way in MVE. Consultant is workingwith a tower siting company at no cost for all ofthis work as well as photo simulations to bepresented to the MVE HOA on July 21st for theirconsideration and approval of thesite. Simulations will also be provided to CityCouncil for the two sites in Hidden Hills.Consultant has also received approval from theLas Virgenes Water District to use the watertanks in MVE and hope to secure approval fromtheir HOA on July 21st. Consultant has alsoobtained interest from AT&T to participate in thesiting process and hope to engage their engineersshortly

On August 13,City Council adopted a resolution updatingemployee anti-discrimination and harassmentfree workplace policy. City Attorney is reviewingpotential changes to the Municipal Code regardingEmergency Operations and 2020 Building andsafety laws. City Attorney is reviewing the City’scurrent ordinances regarding undergroundingwith the goal to provide better clarification oninterpretation of code for residents, staff, andcontractors. Staff to initiate creation ofdevelopment standards for CU and CR Zone.
2018 Goal - Consider various funding mechanismsfor undergrounding of power poles throughoutthe City. In addition, consider a large scale“Undergrounding” project for Fiscal Year 2018/19
Staff and Ad-hoc met with consulting firm thatspecializes in creation of “UndergroundingAssessment Districts.” It was determined thatpursuing an assessment district would be too
costly for City. At the July 23 City Council meeting,Council directed staff to pursue five potentialundergrounding projects this year. Staff is alsodetermining the feasibility of purchasing Rule 20Afunds from other agencies. City Council recentlyapproved funding for design costs of all five areas.Design and feasibility analysis expected June 2019.City staff has begun outreach to effectedresidents. City is currently underway on planningand design five project areas. Area 1 is nearlycomplete with conceptual design and homeownerapprovals. Staff is awaiting final design,easements, and costs. Preliminary design for Area2 has been received and is currently beingevaluated for feasibility. Initial design for Area 3 isunderway. A new Area was also initiated thatcontain three large poles with major equipment atthe Long Valley/Paradise Valley intersection. Thatproject is making good progress. Staff and the Ad-hoc Committee briefed the City Council on thisproject at the February 24 City Council meeting.Section 1 along Long Valley is currently underconstruction. The first phase is complete. The nextstep would see Southern California Edison connectthe underground service and remove the poles.This phase may begin shortly. The HOA hasselected a wall stone that may be placed on thethree retaining walls created by the Long valleyunderground project. Staff is soliciting bids forplacement of stone. On March 22, the City Councilapproved an agreement to construct stone facingon three recently constructed retaining walls onLong Valley Road. Additionally, staff successfullynegotiated the removal of a non-applicable fee($130,000) required by Edison to begin next phaseof work. SCE work (pulling of wires and removalof poles) on Long Valley scheduled to begin inearly July. City successfully obtained a $250,000grant to remove poles along Jed Smith betweenKit Carson and Fitzpatrick Roads. Design work forremoval of 2 poles at Long Valley/Paradise Valleycomplete. Committee and staff to meet withresidents to discuss financial participation.
2018 Goal - Continue the internal and externalupgrade of City Hall. Areas of focus may includeCity Council Chambers, upstairs conference room,and Building and Safety. External upgrades toconsider include new roof and solar project.
Phase 1 nears completion with installation ofdownstairs furniture in August. Proposal for newdoors and hardware is forthcoming. Design workfor Phase 2 including City Council Chambers andConference room is underway. Staff recently met
with an architectural firm regarding the CityCouncil Chambers and is awaiting a proposal. OnJuly 8, City Council approved an agreement withStudioMA for design of City Council Chambersremodel. Staff and City Council Ad-hocCommittee have met with design team multipletimes. A conceptual design was created.Construction costs and alternatives are beingevaluated. A full briefing with options will bediscussed by the City Council on March 9.Following the March 9 review, staff has notinitiated any future work on this project. At theNovember 9 City Council meeting, during anupdate on City Council Goals, a lengthy discussionwas held by the City Council regardingimplementation of this goal. Staff’s interpretationof the City Council’s direction was to scale back theproject to focus on priority items, deferredmaintenance, and alternative funding sources.Staff anticipates a detailed report andrecommendation will be brought to the CityCouncil on January 25.
2018 Goal - Consider the adoption of an enhanced“wood shake” roof policy in an effort to expeditereplacement of remaining wood shake roofswithin the City.
The City Council directed staff to join the LACounty Community Development Commission’sCDBG grant program. Grant will provide fundingthat could be used to assist roof retrofits at eligibleresidences. Most recent inventory shows that theCity contains 14 shake roofs. Per City Councildirection, staff will continue to monitor “shakeroofs” and report on status on updated counts ofremaining roofs.
2018 Goal – Update of the V-Calm Traffic Devices Currently the V-calm signs are working andrecording data. The solar panels have limitedcapacity, and often times fail to work on shorterwinter and overcast days. In addition, the lack ofcell coverage in the City makes it very difficult toobtain data from the units remotely, unless staffuses a ladder to access the memory cards. Tosolve both of these problems, staff is currentlyworking with SCE to install electrical meters at the4 locations where using the V-calm signs (LongValley Road in front of the HHCA, Round MeadowRoad, Eldorado Meadow Road, and Jed SmithRoad). The electrical meters will power both theV-calm units and a wi-fi, that will allow data to betransmitted remotely. The intent is to be able todocument speeding trends and provide the SheriffDepartment information on vehicles that are
speeding excessively. SCE continues to seeknecessary easements while V-calm vendor issearching for a solution to transmit data. V-calmsign was moved from Round Meadow to ElDorado. Sign display was left off to record data for30 days. Sign display was recently turned on torecord new data to analyze changes in speed.Staff has a proposal that includes the addition oftwo new V-calm signs (bringing the total to 4) withpermanent power and connectivity of data to CityHall. Proposal and analysis of El Dorado speed tobe discussed with City Council inAugust/September. The V-calm vendor (Fortel)has explored options to solve the lack of cellphone coverage including the using the HHCA wifi,and installing a new radio antenna on the City’santenna site at the top of Bonneville Road.However, both of these options have inherentproblems and are quite costly. Staff is nowexploring other options. In August 2019, the CityCouncil considered a proposal to purchase twoadditional V-calm signs (bringing the total to 4)with permanent power and connectivity of data toCity Hall. At that time the City Council opted towait until the issues regarding power and wifireception are resolved with the existing two signsbefore purchasing new signs. Staff is reviewingpotential upgrades and additions to Vcalmdevices. See update under 2021 Goal
2017 GOALS GREY SHADE IS COMPLETE.YELLOW SHADE INDICATES UPDATED ACTIVITY
2017 Goal - Consider the development of abroadband enhancement program or strategywithin the City
City Council created an Ad-hoc committee(Council Member’s Katz and Weber) to overseethis goal. Staff held an initial meeting withBroadband Asset Strategies. BAS is proposing tocreate a new Fiber to the Home networkthroughout the City that would deliver 1Gb ofinternet to every home at a reasonable cost. BASwill brief the City Council on November 13 and isscheduled to present to the Community onDecember 5. BAS held community workshop inJanuary. City survey underway. Staff anticipatesmeeting with BAS to discuss next steps in April.City Council Ad-hoc Committee and staff meetingwith ADF on December 13. Special City Councilmeeting to discuss will be scheduled in the near
future. Staff and representatives from HHCA metwith a new potential provider “Inyo Networks” onMarch 21. Inyo proposal is being developed. TheCity Council Fiber Ad-hoc Committee met onMarch 27 to review and discuss latestdevelopments from ADF. Representatives fromADF are scheduled to meet with Ad-hocCommittee April 23. On November 18, CityCouncil entered into an agreement with MagellanAdvisers to prepare an RFP for creation of a fiberto the Home project. Draft RFP has been reviewedby staff. Ad-hoc Committee will be reviewing inFebruary. RFP was released and a mandatory pre-proposal and option community tour to occur onMarch 12. The Ad-hoc Committee, staff, and theCity’s project consultant continue to meetregularly to discuss two distinct proposals toundertake this project. Areas of discussion centeraround, take rates, monthly fee, City investment,project ownership, and potential fundingmechanisms. The City’s Fiber project consultant,Magellan Advisors provided a comprehensiveupdate on the project to the City Council onNovember 9. A series of recommended next stepsincluding: (1) Perform subscriber commitmentsurvey to formalize the network’s revenueopportunities; (2) Use survey results to exploreavailable bonding options for $5.8 million Inyoproposed network build; (3) Measure willingnessto consider bonding the asset should the surveyand bonding approach meet with the level of riskthat is acceptable to the City; (4) If survey resultsand bonding options support the City’s needs andrisk tolerance, select Inyo as the City of HiddenHills’ broadband partner, making a formalannouncement to the community to beginmarketing efforts. Per City Council direction staffsigned an extension with Magellan Advisors tocreate a perform a residential survey. It isanticipated that a draft survey will be reviewed bythe City Council on January 25. The residentialsurvey is complete and will be posted on the Citywebsite in the coming weeks. In addition, amarketing campaign has begun that will includesposters, banners, e-mail alerts, and a direct mailerto residents encouraging participation in thesurvey. Fiber survey was very successful withnearly 80% of residents taking the survey. The Ad-

MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dirk Lovett, City EngineerAbel Becerra, Engineering Associate
Date: July 12, 2021
Subject: Consideration of Agreement with J&L Engineering to Perform a GroundwaterRemediation Project Behind the Spring Valley Arena Tennis Courts
Background
Groundwater has been springing up just north of the Spring Valley tennis courts for many years,creating “swamp” like conditions. This property is owned by the City and leased to the HiddenHills Community Association (HHCA). Over the years, the HHCA has made several attempts toremedy the issue by installing a pipe and gravel network. Unfortunately, none of their attemptshave succeeded. As the City is the owner of the property, it had been determined that theresponsibility of a permanent solution falls to the City.
The City asked its geotechnical consultant to evaluate the issue and, if possible, develop asolution. In February of this year, the consultant performed some exploratory trenching in thearea to try to determine the source of the water. Utilizing record drawings of the area that showall subsurface utilities and pipes, the consultant was able to locate and break open a subdrain(approximately 9’ deep) that has proven to be the source. This is evidenced by the amount ofwater that immediately filled the exploratory trench, and the fact that the surrounding springwater immediately dried up. Water continues to run at a rate of roughly 15 gallons per minutefrom the exploratory trench, across the ground surface, into an adjacent storm drain catch basin.The open trench was immediately fenced off for safety, due to its depth and chance of collapse.
This subdrain was constructed along with the Eldorado Meadow Tract in the late 1980’s torelieve trapped groundwater under the fill. It appears that the subdrain has become clogged andwater has backed up over the years. The City’s environmental consultant performed tests on thewater and has determined that the water is not from a potable source and may be disposed of inthe public storm drain system.

Discussion
The City’s geotechnical consultant has designed a remedial drainage collection system to safelyconduct the water into the adjacent storm drain system (see March 31, 2021 report fromGeoDynamics, Inc. – Attachment 1). Rather than spend an unknown amount of time and costsdigging around the area to find and repair the exact point where the subdrain is clogged orbroken, and because of the depth of the subdrain and amount of running water, this designconcept would intercept the water at the known source (newly broken pipe) and conduct it to theadjacent storm drain through a large gravel and pipe system (french drain). In addition, surfaceclean outs will be provided to allow access to unclog the pipe(s) in the future.
The City’s Municipal Code section 2-3-9 titled Award of Contracts for Public Projects allows forpublic works projects of $45,000 or less to be awarded by negotiated contract rather than formalbidding. In spite of this, staff solicited three firms for proposals and obtained two estimates tofix the drainage problem. In addition to the remedial design prepared by the City’s Geotechnicalconsultant, staff also asked the bidders to include an optional item to raise the catch basin grateapproximately 2 feet to make the site more useable. The catch basin grate currently sits in a hole.
The bids are a follow:
Contractor Estimate to Repair PerPlan
Option to Raise theCatch Basin Grate
Total
WardCorporation
$24,762 $7,648 $32,762
J&L Engineering $20,200 $3,500 $23,700
Because there are many pipes, utilities, and other unknowns in this area, the contractors wereonly able to provide estimates for this repair. Staff research and exploratory trenching has shownthat pipes and utilities are not located accurately, per the record drawings.
The low bidder, J&H Engineering, is a local firm with experience with this type of project. Theyhave stated that once they further excavate and pump the water, they may be able to repair thebroken line and connect it directly to the adjacent catch basin (without the gravel and perforatedpipe). This would result in a considerable savings to the City (total cost would be roughly$17,450, including raising the catch basin grate). Due to the depth of the pipe, amount of water,and unknown damage and obstructions, this feasibility will need to be determined during theexcavation after water is pumped from the trench.
Due to the high probability of unknown issues with this work, it would be recommended that,should the City Council proceed, staff be authorized a 20% contingency, rather than thecustomary 10%.

Fiscal Impact
As this project was not included in the FY 2021/22 City budget; a budget adjustment of $28,500is required.
Recommendations
City staff recommends that the City Council:1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with J&H Engineering in an
amount not to exceed $23,700 for groundwater remediation behind the Spring Valleyarena tennis courts. Work will be per GeoDynamics report in Attachment 1, or asmodified by the City Engineer during construction, and will include raising the adjacentcatch basin grate approximately 2 feet.
2. Authorize staff a 20% contingency.3. A budget adjustment in the amount of $28,500

SUBJECT: Preliminary Evaluation and Mitigation Memo, Spring Valley Tennis Court Groundwater Seepage Remediation, Tract 33095, City of Hidden Hills, California.
Dear Mr. Lovett,
As per your request, GeoDynamics, Inc. (GDI) completed a limited geotechnical investigation to evaluate possible causes of persistent water seepage near the Spring Valley Tennis Court in the City of Hidden Hills. The scope of work performed for the preparation of this memo is based on information obtained from our discussion during our site visit on September 4, 2020 and review of grading plans of the site area of Tract 33095. It is our understanding that the existing water seepage was ongoing for over 20 years and is currently directed to an existing storm drain inlet. We understand that you have had the water seeping from the surface tested in the past, that it does not contain a sewage component, and that discharge to the storm drain is acceptable
SCOPE OF SERVICES
GDI completed the scope of services outlined below. All aspects of the work were performed by a State of California registered geotechnical engineer and certified engineering geologist. GDI completed the following tasks:
Researched our archives and City files for available geotechnical data pertinent to the site. Specifically, we reviewed a portion of the original tract grading plan and sewer plan provided by you, as well as a series of historical aerial photographs maintained in our office.
Performed a preliminary site reconnaissance. Prior to the start of the field exploration, the proposed exploratory locations were marked and Underground Service Alert (USA) was notified per the State mandatory protocol.
On-site assessment of the approximate location of the existing sewer line by visually aligning manholes just east and downslope of the lower riding rink, and offsite in Hatteras Street.
Subsurface exploration using a 24-inch bucket on a 4WD rubber-tired backhoe on February 23, 2021. We excavated a single backhoe test trench to a depth of about nine feet. During excavation of the trench, what is believed to be a buried subdrain was ruptured and produced substantial flow of water to the surface. A discharge path was created to an existing storm drain inlet. The trench was not backfilled, and the excavated materials remain onsite. Substantial flow of water prevented entry to the trench, and so the trench was not logged, no soil samples were recovered, and no laboratory testing was completed;
Observation during installation of a chain link fence surrounding the open trench;
Subsequent site visit to assess flow from the trench one week following the initial excavation.
Preparation of a rough Site Plan and proposed repair details.
Spring Valley Tennis Court Groundwater Seepage 20.00104.0294 March 31, 2021
80 Long Court, Suite #2A, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360 Page 2 of 4
Preparation of this report to summarize our efforts to date and present alternatives for securing the open trench and providing a discharge system for the flowing water.
FINDINGS
Our initial site reconnaissance, assessment of the sewer line location, and access considerations due to the locally highly saturated surface materials significantly limited areas where excavations could be completed. GDI excavated a single backhoe trench at the location indicated on the attached site plan. Based on observations of the cuttings, we expect that artificial fill extends to a depth of about eight feet below the surface. In the upper four feet, this material consists of olive-brown, sandy clay that is moist and stiff. Below four feet, the material grades to dark olive brown and very stiff. Materials at eight feet were noted to be wet. At a depth of about nine feet, a pipe was broken with high initial flow rate into the trench (we estimate about 1200-1500 gpm), that subsided to about 15 gpm over the following week. Active surface seepages stopped flowing almost immediately following breach of the buried pipe.
Prior to leaving the site, a shallow culvert was excavated across the surface from the trench to the grate covering the existing storm drain box inlet. A fence was erected around the trench for safety. Discharge from the trench through the culvert to the storm drain inlet has continued since that time.
Based on the flow characteristics, the proposed locations of subdrains indicated on the original grading plans, the reported past testing of the surface seepage indicating no sewage component, and the near-immediate cessation of surface seepage following the breach of the pipe, we consider that there exists a high probability that the damaged pipe is part of the subdrain system installed below the canyon fill during the original grading. Based on the grading plan, it appears that the original intent was to connect the subdrain to the storm drain system. We suspect that either this was never completed, or that over time, the outlet became plugged, causing canyon seepage to migrate to the surface rather than discharge into the storm drain.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Additional exploration would be necessary to confirm our initial conclusion that the source of the seepage is indeed a buried subdrain system. On the other hand, whatever the source, the alternative discharge provided by the broken pipe appears to have resolved the surface water issues elsewhere in the area.
Repairing the broken pipe would result in re-development of seepage elsewhere unless the downstream discharge is properly re-established. This would require extensive exploration to locate the discharge end of the system, and extensive excavation to provide effective repairs and re-establish the system outlet. As such, the City may want to consider a simple system that provides for surface discharge from the broken pipe to the existing storm drain.
Outlined below is an alternative to provide a discharge from the broken pipe to the existing storm drain box inlet. Implementation presumes that the water is tested and that an appropriate opinion is provided by others that the water can legally be discharged to the existing storm drain. GDI does not provide environmental services or services for regulatory compliance regarding water quality and/or discharge.
Our suggested approach to provide for discharge from the broken pipe would be to pump as much water and mud as possible from the trench, completely line the trench surface with a filter fabric such as Mirafi 140, and backfill the trench with coarse durable aggregate around perforated vertical pipes to a height sufficient to allow discharge via solid pipe at a minimum 2% flow to a new discharge created at about mid-height in the existing storm drain box inlet (roughly five feet below the existing grade adjacent to the trench. Above this level, filter fabric can be placed over the gravel, and the remainder of the trench can be brought to the adjacent grade with compacted earth backfill. Details are depicted in Figure 2
We expect a sequence of construction for this option as follows:
1) Establish line and grade from the trench to a point at about mid-height on the existing box inlet avoiding the sewer line as depicted on Figure 1.
Spring Valley Tennis Court Groundwater Seepage 20.00104.0294 March 31, 2021
80 Long Court, Suite #2A, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360 Page 3 of 4
2) Penetrate the box inlet and place solid pvc between the discharge and the trench to allow the trench to drain by gravity as far as possible. Ultimately the penetration at the inlet box must be mortared watertight.
3) Pump and maintain the remainder of the trench as empty as possible of water and mud using a suction “trash pump”.
4) Once the amount of water in the trench is reduced, an effort should be made to locate and assess the size, composition and degree of damage to the existing pipe, and to determine the feasibility of providing some degree of additional protection against entry of gravel and future trench backfill. For example, it may be possible to install makeshift durable grates over the exposed ends of the broken pipe.
5) Line the sides and bottom of the trench with Mirafi 140 filter fabric to provide a complete “sock” of fabric to contain the gravel backfill. Where more than one fabric panel is required, provide at least three feet of overlap.
6) Place a minimum of six inches of ¾”, durable aggregate in the bottom of the trench.
7) Place PVC collection and discharge system using components as outlined in Figure 2. All components should be glued. The collection system should be placed near the broken pipe while maintaining a minimum of six inches of surrounding gravel.
8) Place gravel to the minimum height necessary to provide a 2% gradient to the existing storm drain inlet.
9) Place filter fabric over the top of the gravel.
10) Place compacted earth backfill over the filter fabric and discharge pipes to the existing adjacent grades.
Protection from rodent entry may be considered for the discharge in the wall of the box inlet. The solid vertical risers should be provided with a PVC adapter and plug to allow access to the vertical collection system. This will allow periodic cleaning using a suction pump if the system begins to accumulate sediment.
Note that the materials supporting the walls of the trench are likely saturated and may be subject to caving once the water is removed. The contractor should exercise due care in working around and in the open trench and provide appropriate protections in accordance with OSHA safety regulations.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kerry Kallman, City ManagerChantelle Limón, Administrative Analyst
DATE: July 12, 2021
SUBJECT: Consideration of Cancelation of City Council Meetings in the Month of August
Background
At the City Council meeting on June 28, 2021, the Council directed staff to add a discussion itemto the July 12 City Council Agenda, considering the possibility of cancelling the scheduled CityCouncil meetings (or “going dark”) in the month of August. Council Members expressed interestin this based on similar protocols in neighboring cities, and in an effort to allow for staff and CityCouncil Members flexibility in summer planning, and an opportunity to take a break from theregular two-week City Council cycle.
Discussion
Historically, the Hidden Hills City Council goes dark for the second meeting in November(Thanksgiving) and the second meeting in December (Holidays). On occasion, the City Councilhas cancelled additional meetings throughout the year, based on lack of items and/or the meetingfalling on a holiday. A summer break, common place in other cities, has not taken place.
Staff polled the other cities in our region and found the following:
City Meeting ScheduleCalabasas No City Council meetings are scheduled in JulyWestlake Village No City Council meetings are scheduled in AugustAgoura Hills Only the first City Council meeting in July is scheduled, the second
meeting is “dark.”Malibu City Council meetings are scheduled regularly all year
In reviewing the workload and potential upcoming items, staff believes the city couldaccommodate a summer recess during the month of August. If, for whatever reason, an urgentitem comes up, the City Council could schedule a Special City Council Meeting in the seven-weekperiod between the July 26 City Council Meeting and the September 13 City Council Meeting. It
City CouncilCouncil Meetings ScheduleJuly 12, 2021Page 2
should also be noted that, based on City Council direction, the September 13 meeting is scheduledto be the first meeting back in the City Council chambers since the start of the pandemic. Thesummer recess would give staff ample time to prepare the Council Chambers, and install necessarytechnology to accommodate a hybrid in-person/Zoom meeting format.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact in cancelling two City Council meetings in August.
Recommendation
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council whether or not to proceed with cancelling one orboth of the regular City Council meetings currently scheduled for the month of August.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Chantelle Limón, Administrative Analyst
DATE: July 12, 2021
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of Proposals and Deposits with: (1) SouthlandShows/Christiansen Amusements to Provide Amusement Rides; (2) My Little Carnival to ProvideGames, Prizes, and Fun Foods: and (3) A Rental Connection for Rentals and Electricity for the2021 Fiesta
Background
This year, the City is celebrating its 60th anniversary at the annual two-day Fiesta Celebration.Together with the resident-formed Fiesta Committee, staff has been planning the event scheduledfor October 9 and 10, 2021. Every year, several vendors are selected to assist the City with variouscomponents of the event from lighting to dining to entertainment. Like many events last year,Fiesta was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19.
Discussion
This year, Fiesta is very highly anticipated in Hidden Hills, as highlighted by the Committee’sselected theme “Happy Days Are Here Again!” Staff has strongly considered resident feedbackfrom previous Fiesta events in the planning of this year’s event. Although the Saturday nightcarnival is a crowd favorite and the focal point of Fiesta, staff has received complaints of carnivalvendors in the past related to a lack of overall presentation and a lack of variety of attractions.With this in mind, staff researched new carnival vendors who the City has not contracted withpreviously and was able to solicit two proposals for rides and one proposal for games from vendorswith availability on October 9th.
Two preferred carnival vendors, one for rides and one for games, have been selected by staff basedon their pricing, client lists, and client testimonials. These two vendors also maintained excellentcommunication with staff throughout the process of soliciting proposals.
A third Fiesta vendor, A Rental Connection, has worked with the City for many years, providingequipment such as tables, linens, lighting, and more for the entire weekend and their service hasbeen excellent.
City CouncilFiesta ProposalsJuly 12, 2021Page 2
These three vendors are discussed below.
Southland Shows/Christiansen Amusements
Christiansen Amusements specializes in carnival attractions has been in business in SouthernCalifornia since 1965. Their professional and experienced staff handle the setup and operations ofa large selection of rides; they are able to provide the City with 6 new rides this year, offering abetter selection than in previous years. Their client list includes San Diego State, Long BeachState, Del Sur Neighborhood Association, Hillcrest Downtown Business Association, and theBakersfield Zoo.
My Little Carnival
My Little Carnival is based in Southern California and offers an extensive variety of carnivalgames and prizes that can be tailored to any age group. The company also provides fun foodconcession booths including cotton candy and popcorn. This year, staff has selected twice as manyfun food booths at the event (from two to four) in an effort to spread out guests and limit crowdingas a COVID-19 related precaution. My Little Carnival has accommodated both small and largeevents exceeding 5,000 guests and their client list includes CBS Disney, Netflix, Costco, SanDiego Country Club, and the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Equipment: A Rental Connection
A Rental Connection has been the equipment contractor the City has worked with for the lasttwenty-plus years. The company is intimately familiar with the site layout, necessary tents, power,cooking apparatus required. They are by far the most important vendor for the Fiesta and workseamlessly with volunteers and staff to create a safe and fun event.
Attached to this report are proposals from Southland Shows/Christiansen Amusements, My LittleCarnival, and A Rental Connection for the 2021 Hidden Hills Fiesta.
Fiscal Impact
The proposed cost for the Southland Shows/Christiansen Amusements carnival rides rental is$66,000 with a deposit of $33,000 due now; the proposed cost for My Little Carnival games is$10,373 with a deposit of $5,186.50 due now; and the proposed costs for A Rental Connectionequipment is $22,943.32 with a deposit of $2,500. The deposit for A Rental Connection is not dueas it has been offset by a credit in the same amount from the unused deposit the City made for the2019 Fiesta which was cancelled.
City CouncilFiesta ProposalsJuly 12, 2021Page 3
It should be noted that the cost for the carnival attractions this year is higher than in previous years.In 2019, a single vendor, Schoeppner Shows, charged a total of $51,000 for rides, games, andconcessions. In comparison, this year the City is considering two carnival vendors for allattractions, each with their own specialty, at a total cost of $76,373. Staff is confident that thisincrease of $25,373 will be reflected in the overall experience of the event – the carnival will boasta fresh, clean, exciting ambiance and residents will enjoy an exceptional party this year.
The cost increase was anticipated in the recently adopted FY 2021/22 City budget.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve: (1) a deposit of $33,000 to SouthlandShows/Christiansen Amusements; (2) a deposit of $5,186.50 to My Little Carnival; and (3)authorize staff to prepare an Agreement with the three vendors discussed and authorize the Mayorand City Clerk to execute the agreements on behalf of the City.
