SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Public Works
Prepared by: / `�'���//!� City Manager Approva;r/ )Ka4
Director of Public Works
File No.: 01.01.02.01
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO
SIGN A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE BAYPOINT
LAGOON HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION ("BPLHOA") ALLOWING
BPLHOA TO MAINTAIN CITY -OWNED STREET LIGHTS ALONG
BAYPOINT DRIVE AND BAYPOINT VILLAGE DRIVE
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution
BACKGROUND: The City of San Rafael owns over 4,400 street lights, seventeen of which are
located along public roads in the Baypoint Lagoon Neighborhood. In addition, within the Baypoint
Lagoon Neighborhood, there are ten privately owned street lights.
In February 2014, the Baypoint Lagoon Homeowners Association (`BPLHOA")'s Board of Directors
voted to replace the ten existing streetlights along the private roadways with custom, nautical -themed
streetlights. In addition to replacing the ten streetlights on the private roadways, the BPLHOA has
requested to purchase and replace the seventeen City -owned and maintained streetlights on the public
roadways of Baypoint Drive and Baypoint Village Drive with the same custom, nautical -themed
streetlights.
Because the street lights proposed are custom, and not standard, it will be extremely difficult for the City
to maintain the lights or respond in the event of a knockdown. Therefore, in addition to the initial
installation, the BPLHOA has requested that the City enter into a Memorandum of Understand in order to
take over maintenance of these seventeen street lights.
Installation of the new street lights poles will be performed by the BPLHOA's on-call electrical
contractor with an encroachment permit from the Public Works Department.
ANALYSIS: The custom, nautical -themed streetlights that the BPLHOA has requested to install are
not a standard model that the City of San Rafael uses and therefore, the City does not stock parts for the
maintenance nor would it be able to respond in the case of an emergency. The BPLHOA has agreed to
maintain these seventeen streetlights permanently, without any cost to the City of San Rafael.

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
The response times for emergency maintenance of these seventeen street lights will adhere to the same
standards that the City follows for all other street lights. This includes that in an event of an emergency,
the BPLHOA's on-call electrical contractor will respond within one hour from the time of notification
during daylight hours and within two hours during evening hours. The BPLHOA will also perform
routine and non -emergency requests which shall be responded to within five calendar days.
OUTREACH: The Public Works Department has met with and coordinated with the BPLHOA property
manager and on-call electrician to ensure that all expectations can be met.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the City for this project as the BPLHOA will pay for
upfront capital costs, and has agreed to maintain these streetlights permanently without any cost incurred
by the City.
OPTIONS:
1. Adopt resolution and authorize the Public Works Director to sign a Memorandum of
Understanding with the BPLHOA allowing the BPLHOA to maintain seventeen City owned
street lights;
2. Choose not to authorize the Director of Public Works to sign the Memorandum of Understanding
with the BPLHOA. Doing so will result in the BPLHOA not replacing the seventeen streetlights
and the City continuing to assume responsibility of maintaining the existing streetlights.
ACTION REQUIRED: Adopt Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to sign the
Memorandum of Understanding with the BPLHOA.
