APRIL 21, 2026

STAFF REPORT

CONSENT
ITEM NUMBER: 12.

TITLE
Inflatable Play Equipment and Special Event Amenities Policy

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu)on to repeal and replace Resolu)on 2014-93 with the updated Inflatable Play Equipment and Special Event Amenities Policy.

CONTACT
Alexandra Ikeda, Deputy City Manager

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
This item is part of the Parks and Community Services (PCS) Commission's work plan to update Resolu)on 2014-93, Inflatable Play Equipment Policy (A:achment 2). The City has an extensive reserva)on process that includes both indoor and outdoor facility rentals, including reservable picnic areas at City parks where the use of inflatable play equipment is a popular add-on amenity.

The original policy, in its current condi)on, no longer aligns with the City's opera)onal prac)ces, risk management requirements, or industry standards, therefore requiring moderniza)on. From 2019 through 2022, inflatable play equipment was not available as part of our facility rental process due to opera)onal impacts and pandemic-era restric)ons. During this )me, vendors previously used by the City were no longer in business. In addi)on, staff learned through the City's Joint Powers Authority (JPA) that inflatable play equipment was no longer covered under the City's insurance, requiring addi)onal research and coordina)on to restore this popular amenity in a safe and compliant manner for the community.

In 2023, staff worked with the JPA and the City A:orney to establish a compliant path forward that would allow inflatable play equipment under current risk management requirements. As a result, the City implemented an approved vendor program, and is currently working with two vendors to provide these services for our facility rental applicants. While these prac)ces have been implemented operationally, Resolution 2014-93 has not been updated to reflect them.

POLICY CHANGES
The PCS Commission reviewed and discussed the proposed updates on February 12 and March 12, 2026, and concurred with staff's recommenda)on to modernize the policy. A:achment 2 includes 37 the updated Inflatable Play Equipment and Special Event Ameni)es Policy which incorporates the following key revisions:

Removal of Fees from the Policy
Specific fee amounts have been removed. Vendor and permit fees are established through the City's adopted fee schedule, which is reviewed and updated annually.

Facility Rental Rules and Regulations
The policy clarifies that inflatable play equipment requires an approved permit and is not permi:ed on City property without City authoriza)on. This requirement is consistent with the City's established Facility Rental Rules and Regulations as outlined in Exhibit A.

Vendor Requirements
The policy defines minimum vendor requirements, including required insurance coverage, a valid City business license, an executed City contract, and coordina)on with City staff to confirm event details.

TITLE
Napa County Animal Shelter Contract

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu'on authorizing City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Napa County for Animal Shelter Services through June 30, 2031.

CONTACT
Juan Gomez, Assistant City Manager

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Napa County currently operates the Napa County Animal Shelter and Adop'on Center. The Shelter provides for the sanitary and humane treatment and care of animals. On October 6, 2009, the City entered into Agreement No. 7298/2009-108 with Napa County establishing a direct alloca'on funding mechanism whereby the City and other jurisdic'ons (Napa, Napa County, and Yountville) pay for costs associated with accep'ng and providing care, shelter, and other services for those animals brought to the Animal Shelter.

In July 2019, the City and County terminated Agreement No. 7298/2009-108 and redefined the terms and conditions of services under a new Agreement No. 200021B/2091-97 (Attachment 1). The 2019 Agreement had a three year term (July 1, 2019 un'l June 30, 2022) and provided for automa'c renewal for an addi'onal three-year term (July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2025). A one-year extension was entered into in June 2025, extending the term to June 30, 2026.

The Agreement provides for Organiza'onal Controls whereby annual mee'ngs are held for the purposes of establishing priori'es, alloca'ng fiscal, human and other resources, and analyzing cri'cal elements of the Animal Shelter opera'ons for the subsequent fiscal year. Representa'ves from the City will also par'cipate in quarterly mee'ngs to discuss any opera'onal issues, working in a collaborative manner to resolve those issues.

Alternative
Currently, Napa County is the sole public provider for Animal Shelter Services in Napa County. An alterna've to the recommended ac'on is to terminate the Agreement pursuant to paragraphs eight (8) and nine (9). The City Council would then have to decide whether the City should take on this 61 responsibility or forgo providing these services altogether.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."

FISCAL IMPACT
The Total Cost in Year 1 of the contract is $481,809 and is included in the upcoming proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Fund Budget. Subsequent contract years will be included in future budgets, subject to City Council adoption.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Recommended Ac'on will result in the con'nued funding of an exis'ng facility. No physical changes are envisioned as part of the new Agreement and as a result the Recommended Ac'on is not a project as defined in Sec'on 15378(b)(4) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines.

9.3 Contract Interpretation. This Agreement and all Contract Documents shall be deemed to be made under, and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by, the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflicts or choice of law provisions thereof. It is the intent of the Contract Documents to completely describe the goods and services to be provided.

When words or phrases which have a well-known technical or industry or trade meaning are used to describe work, materials, equipment, goods, or services such words or phrases shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning unless a definition has been provided in the Contract Documents. In resolving conflicts resulting from errors or discrepancies in any of the Contract Documents, the order of precedence shall be in descending order as set forth below (the document in paragraph 9.3.1 having the highest precedence). Provisions of the Contract Documents addressing the same subject which are consistent but have different degrees of specificity shall not be considered to be in conflict, and the more specific language shall control.

Order of Precedence:

9.3.1 This Agreement.

9.3.2 The Exhibits to this Agreement.

9.4 Drafting Ambiguities. The parties acknowledge that they have the right to be advised by legal counsel with respect to the negotiations, terms, and conditions of this Agreement, and the decision of whether to seek advice of legal counsel with respect to this Agreement is the sole responsibility of each party. This Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against either party by reason of the extent to which each party participated in the drafting of the Agreement.

9.5 Third Party Beneficiaries. Unless expressly set forth in this Agreement, none of the provisions of this Agreement are intended to benefit any third party not specifically referenced herein. No person other than County and City shall have the right to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement.

9.6 Force Majeure. In the event either party’s performance is delayed due to causes which are outside the control of both parties and their subconsultants, contractors and employees, and could not be avoided by the exercise of due care, which may include, but is not limited to, delays by regulating agencies, wars, floods, adverse weather conditions, labor disputes, unusual delay in transportation, epidemics abroad, earthquakes, fires, terrorism, incidence of disease or other illness that reaches outbreak, epidemic and/or pandemic proportions, unusual delay in deliveries, riots, civil commotion or other unavoidable casualties, and other acts of God, both parties will be entitled to an extension in their time for performance equivalent to the length of delay. Neither party will be entitled to compensation from the other for force majeure events. The party claiming its performance is delayed must demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the other 69 Animal Shelter Agreement – City of American
Canyon Page 7
Filevine ID: 13119339
party that a force majeure event is causing the delay; the mere occurrence of a force majeure event is insufficient to extend the time for performance.

9.7 Attorney’s Fees. If either party commences legal action of any kind or character to either enforce the provisions of this Agreement or to obtain damages for breach thereof, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with such action. This paragraph does not apply to attorney’s fees or costs incurred during mediation.

9.9 Exhibits Incorporated. All Exhibits referenced in this Agreement are hereby incorporated into the Agreement by this reference.

9.10 Governmental Powers. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a limitation upon the powers of County as a subdivision of the State of California or the powers of City as municipal corporations. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting the rights and obligations of the parties in their governmental or regulatory capacities.

9.11 Survival of Obligations. All indemnifications, warranties, guarantees and other obligations that by their nature involve performance after the early termination or expiration of this Agreement or after completion and acceptance of the scope of services, shall survive the early termination or expiration of this Agreement. Such obligations include, but are not limited to, paragraphs 9.1 (Access to Records/Retention) and Article VIII (Dispute Resolution).

Obligations related to insurance or indemnity shall continue in full force and effect after the date of early termination or expiration, but only with regard to acts or omissions that occurred during the term of the Agreement.

9.12 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held invalid or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or illegality shall not invalidate the whole of this Agreement, but rather, the Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the invalid or illegal provision, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly, except to the extent that enforcement of this Agreement without the invalidated provision would materially and adversely impact either or both parties’ consideration for entering into this Agreement.

9.13 Amendment/Modification. This Agreement may be modified or amended only in writing and with the prior written consent of both parties. In particular, only County through its 70 Animal Shelter Agreement – City of American
Canyon Page 8
Filevine ID: 13119339
Board of Supervisors, and City, through its City Manager, in the form of an amendment of this Agreement, may authorize extra and/or changed work if beyond the scope of services prescribed in Exhibit A.

9.14 No Waivers. Any failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance by the other of any obligation of this Agreement, or any failure to exercise any right or remedy for a breach of any term or condition of this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any such failure to perform or breach of any term or condition. A waiver must be express and in writing. The waiver by either party of any breach or violation of any requirement of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any such breach in the future, or of the breach of any other requirement of this Agreement.

9.15 No Assignments. Neither party may assign the obligations under this Agreement, nor any monies due or to become due under this Agreement, without the other party’s prior written approval. Any assignment in violation of this paragraph shall constitute a default and is grounds for termination of this Agreement at the non-assigning party’s sole discretion. In no event shall any putative assignment create a contractual relationship between the non-assignee and any putative assignee.

9.16 Successors in Interest. All rights and obligations created by this Agreement shall be in force and effect whether or not any parties to the Agreement have been succeeded by another entity, and all rights and obligations created by this Agreement shall be vested and binding on any party’s successor in interest.

9.17 Entirety of Contract. This Agreement, including any documents expressly incorporated by reference whether or not attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject of this Agreement and supersedes all previous agreements, promises, representations, understandings, and negotiations, whether written or oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

9.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which when taken together, shall constitute a single signed original as though all parties had executed the same page.

9.19 Authority to Contract. County and City each warrant that they are legally permitted and otherwise have the authority to enter into and perform this agreement.

9.20 Legal Status of Agreement as Non-Joint Powers Agreement. This Agreement shall not be considered for any purpose as a Joint Powers Agreement between County and City under Government Code Section 6500, et. seq.

City shall be responsible for the validity of its rules, regulations, code, and ordinances including but not limited to any ordinances or codes incorporated by reference in City ordinances or code, and City shall defend, hold harmless, and indemnify County, its officers, agents and employees with respect to any claim or action challenging the validity of any City ordinance or with respect to any claim or action that any action was taken under an invalid City ordinance. Failure of City to comply with this requirement to maintain substantially similar ordinances may be cause for termination of this Agreement by County.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is executed by County, acting by and through the Chair of the Board of Supervisors, and by Consultant through its duly authorized officer(s).

3. ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROLS
The parties acknowledge and agree that the County also provides animal shelter services to the City of Napa, City of American Canyon, and Town of Yountville pursuant to separate agreements with such jurisdictions and that Animal Shelter operations, capital projects, improvements and assets are budgeted for, and funded by, payments for services and contributions from each of the participating jurisdictions (“Participants,” which at the time of execution of this Agreement include City of American Canyon, City of Napa, Town of Yountville, and Napa County). Therefore, the annual budget process is a collaborative effort that requires the participation and cooperation of all Participants. County and City agree to participate in strategic alignment and ongoing collaborative processes amongst the Participants to achieve organizational goals and objectives and to comply with the following procedures related to preparation and adoption of the annual budget:

A. Quarterly Participant Meetings. Authorized representatives of County and City shall endeavor to participate in quarterly Participant meetings to discuss operational issues.

B. Annual Participant Meetings. Authorized representatives of County and City shall participate, at minimum, once per year in an annual Participant meeting, prior to April 1 for the purposes of establishing priorities, allocating fiscal, human, and other resources, and analyzing critical elements of Animal Shelter operations for the subsequent fiscal year. Discussion topics shall include, but not be limited to: budgets, staffing, hours of operations, capital purchases, projects or repairs, policy implementation or revision, and any other matter that may have significant impact on the Animal Shelter or its resources.

C. Annual Budget Approval and Adoption.
a. Prior to April 1 of each year, the County shall prepare and submit to all Participants for their respective review and approval, which may not be unreasonably withheld by City, a comprehensive operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year that accurately represents County’s good-faith estimate of all projected revenues and expenditures for the operation of the Animal Shelter and meets commonly accepted accounting standards (“Proposed Annual Budget”).
b. City shall, no later than April 15, notify the County in writing whether it approves or objects to the Proposed Annual Budget. If City fails to notify County of its approval or objection by April 15, City shall be deemed to have approved the Proposed Annual Budget.
c. If City objects to the Proposed Annual Budget, it shall provide County and the other Participants with a written statement outlining in sufficient detail its concerns and proposed adjustments to the Proposed Annual Budget no later than April 15. Representatives of the Participants shall thereafter meet and confer in good faith regarding the Participant’s concerns and proposed revisions in an effort to reach agreement by all Participants on a revised Proposed Annual Budget by May 1.
d. If any dispute between the Participants regarding the Proposed Annual Budget remains unresolved by May 1, County shall adopt the Proposed Annual Budget in the course of the regular County of Napa budget process, and the Participants 76 Animal Shelter Agreement – City of American
Canyon Page 14
Filevine ID: 13119339
shall thereafter proceed with dispute resolution in accordance with Article VIII of the Agreement to resolve the outstanding dispute.
e. Upon County’s adoption of the Proposed Annual Budget, it shall be considered the Annual Budget hereunder.
f. Delays, regardless of cause, in the adoption of the Annual Budget shall not preclude or restrict County from delivering the services described herein or cause any interruption in daily operations, and City shall continue to compensate County in the manner set forth in Exhibit B.

D. Budget Revisions.
a. County shall notify City in writing as soon as practical if the Annual Budget is projected to be either under-expended by a total equal to or greater than 10%, or over-expended by any amount during the then-current fiscal year. b. Notifications regarding over-expenditures beyond the total annual operations budget shall be accompanied by a description of the event or circumstances causing such over-expenditures, an itemization of costs, and a recommended course of action to offset costs, which may include use of fund balance or other operational modifications, if reasonably feasible.

E. Audits. Upon reasonable notice, either party shall have the right to inspect and audit any records produced or maintained by the other party relevant to this Agreement, to the extent allowable by law.

EXHIBIT “B”

FUNDING FOR OPERATIONS, CAPITAL PROJECTS, IMPROVEMENTS AND ASSETS
Animal Shelter operations, capital projects, improvements and assets shall be funded by payments for services and contributions from all Participants as set forth below. In the event a Participant other than City terminates its agreement with the County for Animal Shelter operations, thereby reducing the total number of Participants sharing in the Animal Shelter costs, City’s Population Proportion (defined below) will be recalculated based on the reduced number of Participants, and City shall continue to make payments and contributions as set forth below based on the revised City’s Population Proportion unless the parties otherwise agree in writing to an alternative methodology for sharing costs among the remaining Participants for the remainder of the term.

1. Operations
(a) Payment for Services. City agrees to pay County a percentage of budgeted net operating costs for each fiscal year equal to City’s population divided by the population of all Participants (“City’s Population Proportion”). City’s payment for services calculated in accordance with this Exhibit “B” shall be referred to as “City’s Operating Share.”
i. For purposes of this Agreement, “net operating costs” shall mean the total budgeted operating expenses in the Annual Budget, including a 3% operational contingency, less budgeted revenue received from any source, other than payments for services from Participants during the specified time period and interest earned as a result of delinquent payments.

1. Under previous agreements with Participants, County limited allocation of County Engineering and Administrative Costs to Participants to $40,000 per fiscal year to cover administrative items such as budgeting, accounting, competitive procurement, contracting, and supervision of Animal Shelter management, and, the County paid for all Engineering and Administrative costs in excess of $40,000. County desires to eliminate the allocation limit by year three of this Agreement. In year one of this Agreement (FY26/27), the allocation of Engineering and Administrative Costs will be limited to $65,000. In year two of this Agreement (FY27/28), the allocation of Engineering and Administrative Costs will be limited to $80,000. In each successive year of this Agreement, Engineering and Administrative costs will be budgeted based on actual costs from the previous two fiscal years (starting 78 Animal Shelter Agreement – City of American
Canyon Page 16
Filevine ID: 13119339
with FY25/26), and 100% of budgeted Engineering and
Administrative costs will be allocated to all Participants. Should these costs be projected to exceed $120,000 annually, the County shall provide to Participants, at the annual budget meeting, a basis for the budget estimate, including role, projected hours, rate, and primary services.
ii. City’s Population Proportion shall be determined by the population figures in the most recent estimate published by the California Department of Finance (DOF) Demographic Research Unit.
iii. In the event actual operating expenditures are less than revenue, City’s Operating Share shall not be reduced. However, any excess revenues shall be designated as fund balance in accordance with subsection (b) below.
(b) Fund Balance. Revenues received in excess of actual operating expenditures in a fiscal year shall be designated as fund balance.
i. Use of fund balance, not including funds received through any bequest to benefit the Animal Shelter, shall take precedence over increasing City’s Operating Share.
ii. The fund balance shall be appropriated and expended at County’s discretion in the event the approved budgeted appropriations are projected to be or have been exhausted.
iii. The operating fund balance, not including funds received through any bequest to benefit the Animal Shelter, shall not be sustained at an amount greater than 60-days operating capital, unless a long-term expenditure plan has been approved.
iv. At the close of each fiscal year, once all activity for the year is posted, operating fund balance, net of any funds received through any bequest to benefit the Animal Shelter, will be analyzed to determine if it exceeds 60- days operating capital (excess reserve). Unless a long-term expenditure plan has been approved, excess reserve will be credited back to Participants as described in the Animal Shelter Fund Balance Policy. v. Bequest funds to benefit the Animal Shelter will be appropriated only after consultation with the Participants.
(c) Additional Contributions to Fund Balance for Long-Term Expenditure Plans.

Participants may agree to develop long-term expenditure plans for the purpose of acquiring specific and predetermined goods, or services in future fiscal years if the cost for such items or services cannot be economically accommodated in a single fiscal year, for example purchase of replacement animal crates where the cost may be high but items are not considered capital assets.
i. County shall develop long-term expenditure plans, as needed, and present them to the Participants at the annual meeting for approval as part of the annual budget approval and adoption process.
ii. City’s contribution amount for a long-term expenditure plan shall be determined at the time plans are approved.
79 Animal Shelter Agreement – City of American
Canyon Page 17
Filevine ID: 13119339
iii. Long-term expenditure plans shall be limited to one-time purchases.

2. Capital Projects, Improvements and Assets
(a) Capital Reserve. City agrees to contribute to a Capital Reserve for the purpose of maintaining a fund balance which shall be used to finance capital projects or improvements, or for the purchase of capital assets for the Animal Shelter. i. City’s contribution to the Capital Reserve shall be an amount equal to 3% of City’s Operating Share for the then-current fiscal year (“City’s Capital Share”).
ii. City and County may agree, by means of written approval from an authorized representative of each party, to adjust the City’s Capital Share or for contributions outside the Operating share during the term of this Agreement in consideration of capital expenditures made by County, for future capital expenditures, or for any other matter.

3. Invoicing
(a) Initial Invoice. County shall send an initial invoice to City no later than July 15th of each year for an amount equal to half of City’s projected Operating Share and Capital Share for the current fiscal year.
(b) Mid-Year Invoice. COUNTY shall send a mid-year invoice to City no later than January 15th of each year for an amount equal to half of City’s projected Operating Share and Capital Share, net any fund balance credit from the previous fiscal year calculated in accordance with Section 1(b) above.
(c) Year-End Invoice. County shall reconcile all operating expenditures and use fund balance to satisfy any cash deficits. In the event a deficit balance remains, County shall send an invoice to City no later than August 15th of each year for a percentage of the deficit balance equal to City’s Population Proportion of all Participants. (d) Payment Terms. City shall deliver payment to County for all invoices no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice.
(e) Delinquent Payments.
i. County Animal Shelter is entitled to recover interest on any payment that is not received by County Animal Shelter by the payment deadline in subsection (d) above. Interest shall be calculated at the rate of interest paid by the Napa County Treasurer/Tax Collector for departments or entities participating in the pooled funds account for the period of time in which the payment is delinquent. Interest shall be applied from the last day of the month in which services were performed; and, ii. County may take any appropriate action to collect delinquent payments as is authorized by law.

4. Accounting Controls
80 Animal Shelter Agreement – City of American
Canyon Page 18
Filevine ID: 13119339
(a) Separation of Funds. The Napa County Auditor-Controller shall account for all revenues and expenses related to the terms and services of this Agreement in a separate enterprise fund.
(b) Separation of Accounts. The Napa County Auditor-Controller shall maintain separate accounts for operations and capital projects, improvements or assets. (c) Earned Interest. All interest earned shall be designated as revenue and added to the fund balance of whichever fund carried the principal balance for which interest was accrued. Interest shall be calculated using the Napa County Treasurer-Tax Collector’s interest allocation methodology.

for
Increases &
Decreases
 Salaries & Benefits
a. The total increase in S&B is $175k, driven by the addition of a new FTE, a

3.5% COLA effective 7/1/26, and higher benefits costs primarily due to increases in insurance premiums and retirement expenses.  Service & Supplies
a. The overall change in Services and Supplies reflects a mix of increases and decreases across several accounts. ITS allocations decreased by $24k, and Fleet allocation decreased by $4k.
b. E&A charges increased by $25k per the participants agreement. The cost for other services and supplies increased by $89k, driven by veterinary services and supplies, primarily due to a growing animal population. c. There is also a $110k increase for building improvements, including five double gates for the play yards, a taller fence for one of the play yards, and a shade structure (these costs are proposed to be funded with bequest funds and not allocated to the participants).
d. General Liability and Property & Other insurance increased by 37k. e. Additionally, the “Donated Supplies” account (53690) increased by $40k, which is offset by corresponding revenue in the “In-Kind Donations” account (47510) reported to the Auditor Controller’s Office on a quarterly basis based on actuals.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
American Canyon has expanded its boundaries five (5) 0mes since incorpora0on in 1992 through annexa0ons approved by the Napa County Local Agency Forma0on Commission (LAFCO). Last year, American Canyon updated its General Plan memorializing future growth plans through the Year 2040. In addition, Napa County is in the middle of updating its General Plan.

Last fall, American Canyon applied for LAFCO approval to annex 83-acres of land surrounding Watson Lane (Paoli-Watson Lane Affected Territory or PWLAT). The PWLAT is located within American Canyon's Urban Limit Line (ULL) and Sphere of Influence (SOI) (ADachment 4). The LAFCO Board is scheduled to consider American Canyon's application on June 1.

Earlier this spring, two landowners north of the PWLAT applied for LAFCO approval to annex an addi0onal 281 acres of land (Hess/Laird Affected Territory or HLAT) (ADachment 5). American Canyon's General Plan acknowledges the PWLAT as a future study area as does the Napa County General Plan (ADachment 6). The LAFCO Board is also scheduled to separately consider the property owners application on June 1.

Properties within the PWLAT have a mix of residential and industrial general plan designations, while both proper0es within HLAT have industrial general plan designa0on. Both American Canyon’s and 98 Napa County’s General Plans plan for the development of these territories in part to help facilitate extension of Newell Drive and S. Kelly Road. Once complete, this roadway network will act like a “Silverado Trail South” for the Napa Valley - func0oning as an alterna0ve route to Highway 29. In turn, this new infrastructure will also help Napa County and American Canyon achieve its housing obliga0ons as determined by the Associa0on of Bay Area Government’s (ABAG) Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

Regional Housing Needs Allocation
As with previous annexa0ons, American Canyon will begin to plan for a por0on of Napa County’s future RHNA (in addi0on to its own). This benefits everyone because it helps ensure other unincorporated County lands remain as agricultural and open space free from urban development.

Star0ng in 2031, the Urban Limit Line and Regional Housing Needs Alloca0on Agreement (ADachment 1, Ex. A) provides for American Canyon to plan for 15% of the County RHNA through the year 2047 and then 10% thereaLer. This addi0onal planning is es0mated to be approximately 25 additional dwelling units per year initially and then 15 units per year thereafter.

As noted in staff's update to Council last month, when planning for RHNA in conjunc0on with the General Plan Housing Element, jurisdic0ons assume a variety of affordability levels (i.e. moderate, low, very low, etc.) based on specified household incomes. Of note, ABAG approval of RHNA transfers is also required during each housing element cycle.

Lastly, the agreement places the HLAT within a new ULL. Staff recommends Council approve this agreement tonight as the County is scheduled to consider it on May 5.

Property Tax Sharing
As with previous annexations, property tax revenue from the newly annexed lands will be shared.

Once ABAG approves the RHNA transfer, the "Paoli-Watson Lane Affected Territory Property Tax Sharing Agreement" (ADachment 2, Ex. A) provides for American Canyon to receive three-quarters (75%) of the County’s alloca0on for the proper0es in the PWLAT. Of note, these fiLeen proper0es in PWLAT are already within the American Canyon Fire Protec0on District (ACFPD) and their property tax allocation remains unchanged.

The "Hess-Laird Affected Territory Property Tax Sharing Agreement" (Attachment 3, Ex. A) provides a comparable mythology, but because the two proper0es within the HLAT are being added to the ACFPD, so the ACFPD will receive 100% of the County’s structural fire property tax revenue. As with all other prior City annexa0ons, the ACFPD will also receive 5% of the County’s regular property allocation.

Once ABAG approves the RHNA transfer, then American Canyon will receive three-quarters (70%) of the County’s alloca0on. If development proposals are received that exceed the ACPFD's financial 99 ability to provide services, then the City and AFFPD will work in concert together to augment revenue sources, but regardless for both territories, the County will retain 25% of their allocation.

Staff recommends Council approve the two tax sharing agreements tonight as the ACFPD Board is scheduled to consider the HLAT agreement on April 28 while the County is set to consider both agreements on May 5. Approval of these property tax sharing agreements is a prerequisite for LAFCO consideration of the two annexations on June 1.

Next Steps
Council ac0on tonight sets the stage for future ac0on by ACFDP, Napa Co. and LAFCO. It is important to note no specific development proposals are being approved tonight. Instead, LAFCO conclusion of the annexa0on process simply resolves who (namely, American Canyon and ACFPD) will decide future development proposals.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Transporta0on: "Improve the transporta0on network within the City to alleviate conges0on and enhance the quality of life for the community."

FISCAL IMPACT
Costs for the prepara0on the city-ini0aled PWLAT annexa0on applica0on is included within the FY 2025/26 Budget. There is no cost to the city for the landowner application.

Upon the conclusion of the annexa0on process, the City will begin to receive property tax revenue in accordance with the property tax sharing agreements.

RECITALS
A. The Parties recognize the importance of agricultural preservation and open space in Napa County and desire to preserve agricultural lands in Napa County so as to maintain a viable agriculture-based economy, preserve open space, prevent urban sprawl, and direct growth and development into cities and to implement the planned development of the City.

B. The Parties acknowledge the intent of County Measures P and J to concentrate urban tourist and retail development in existing cities, and the City General Plan policy of creating an open space boundary around City development.

C. The Parties have a successful history of achieving mutual goals and shared interests including that certain “2008 Agreement Between the County of Napa and the City of American Canyon (County Agreement No. 7070/City Agreement No. 2008-93)” (“2008 Agreement”), which among other things, sets forth a mutually agreed upon urban growth boundary for the City, and that certain “2003 Agreement Between the County of Napa and the City of American Canyon (County Agreement No. 6151/City Agreement No. 2003-78)”(“2003 Agreement”), which, among other things, transferred certain housing obligations from the County to the City in exchange for the County’s support of amendments to the City’s sphere of influence.

D. In order to meet the County’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (“RHNA”) as determined by the Association of Bay Area Governments (“ABAG”) for future Housing Element revisions and in order to achieve certification of its housing element from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), County desires to transfer a portion of its RHNA to the City, including housing for acutely low, extremely low, very low, low, moderate, and above moderate income households. 104
2 E. City is willing to assist County in meeting its RHNA obligations in exchange for the County’s support of pending applications before the Napa County Local Agency Formation Commission (“LAFCO”) and in recognition that developable land and available sewer and water service are limited in the unincorporated area of Napa County, and that annexations may remove limited developable land from the unincorporated area.

F. LAFCO has received a landowner application dated March 12, 2026 for the “Hess-Laird Affected Territory ”, consisting of approximately 281 acres and collectively comprising APNs 057-090-065 & -066 as described and depicted in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“HLAT”). The application proposes to amend City’s and the American Canyon Fire Protection District’s (“District”) Spheres of Influence to include the HLAT and to annex the HLAT into the jurisdictional boundaries of the City and the District (collectively, the “HLAT Reorganization”).

G. The properties comprising the HLAT are outside the City’s Urban Limit Line (ULL).

H. Parties desire to expand the City’s ULL to include the properties comprising the HLAT.

I. The Parties acknowledge the obligations under this Agreement shall not in any way affect either party’s existing, certified 6th Housing Element Revision or housing obligations.

J. The Parties acknowledge their mutual long-standing desire to improve the regional-serving transportation network in southern Napa County by extending Newell Drive north and South Kelly Road south to create a continuous parallel route to State Highway 29 as described in the respective General Plans.

K. The Parties support for the HLAT Reorganization and expansion of City’s ULL will create new opportunities to improve the regional-serving transportation network in southern Napa County.

L. This Agreement sets forth the Parties’ agreement concerning the HLAT Reorganization.
105
3 NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Urban Limit Line. “Urban Limit Line" (“ULL") shall mean the City’s existing urban growth boundary adopted by its City Council in 2008 by Resolution 2008-106 and referenced in Exhibit D of the 2008 Agreement and shown in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

2. Expansion of ULL. To facilitate the HLAT Reorganization, City may expand its ULL to include the properties that comprise the HLAT as more fully depicted in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as County’s support for, or to require the County’s support for, any future expansion of the City ULL other than the expansion required for the HLAT Reorganization.

3. Support for LAFCO Application. Parties shall support the HLAT Reorganization. The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as County’s support for, or to require the County’s support for, any future annexations of parcels to the City or any future amendments to the City’s sphere of influence other than the HLAT Reorganization.

4. Property Tax Sharing. Concurrently herewith, Parties shall enter into a separate property tax sharing agreement pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 99 that allocates property tax revenue generated by the properties comprising the HLAT after they are annexed to City and the District between the County, City and District (“Tax Sharing Agreement”). The Tax Sharing Agreement shall become operative upon the recordation of the LAFCO Executive Officer’s Certificate of Completion for the HLAT Reorganization unless such Certificate is the subject of a legal challenge, in which case the Tax Sharing Agreement shall become operative upon a final court decision determining the Certificate is valid.

5. County RHNA Assignment to City. As consideration for County’s consent to expansion of the ULL and annexation of the HLAT, starting with the Seventh Revision of the Parties' Housing Elements, as required by Government Code Section 65888, and for each subsequent required Housing Element revision thereafter, Parties shall jointly apply to ABAG or any subregion of which the Parties are a member, as applicable, upon ABAG or the subregion's adoption of a final RHNA, to reduce the County' s RHNA allocation, and increase the City’s RHNA allocation, by the applicable percentage listed in the table below across all income categories, as provided for and in conformance with the requirements of Government Code section 65584. 07, or successor statute. 106

Future 2055-beyond 10%
The City and County shall take all steps reasonably necessary to comply with Government Code section 65584.07 and any other transfer statutes, as applicable, to implement this Agreement, including but not limited to, providing the appropriate documentation to ABAG, any subregion, or any other agency, as required. The Parties agree to work together to obtain ABAG or subregion approval and any other approval where required to effectuate this Agreement. City further agrees that it will utilize the revised RHNA that includes the transfer of RHNA contemplated by this Agreement in preparing the City’s Housing Element for the Seventh Housing Element revision and each Housing Element revision thereafter.

While this Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date, the City’s obligation to be assigned future County RHNA obligations shall not become operative unless and until the recordation of the LAFCO Executive Officer’s Certificate of Completion for the HLAT Reorganization unless such Certificate is the subject of a legal challenge, in which case the transfer of RHNA obligations shall become operative upon a final court decision determining the Certificate is valid. If the transfer of RHNA obligations from the County to the City is not approved by ABAG or is adjudicated invalid by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, the property tax sharing agreement pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 99 Tax Sharing Agreement, and the HLAT Reorganization shall remain in place.

6. No Change to RHNA for Sixth Housing Element Revision. This Agreement does not affect or change either party’s current certified General Plan Housing Element or RHNA for the Sixth Housing Element Revision.

7. Southern Napa County Regional Transportation Network. This Agreement, along with the Tax Sharing Agreement, and LAFCO approvals are intended to facilitate urban development, including the provision of new regional-serving transportation networks – namely the extension of Newell Drive and South Kelly Road. Although the 107
5 preliminary alignment of the future transportation network is depicted in Exhibit “C” as being entirely within the expanded City ULL, nothing in this Agreement shall be constructed to prevent portions of the final alignment from being outside the ULL if the Parties determine that to be in the best interest of the public. To the fullest extent permitted by law, City shall condition future development within the expanded City ULL to provide right-of-way for the extensions on Newell Drive and South Kelly Road.

8. Additional Terms and Conditions:
a. Hold Harmless by County. To the fullest extent permitted by law, County agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers, employees and agents and successors and assigns of each of them (collectively, “County Indemnified Parties") from and against all liabilities, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, claims, demands, proceedings and judgments including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees arising from or in any way connected with any claims against the City for damages or violation of any law resulting from any act, omission, or other action taken by the County in performance of its duties under this Agreement.

B. Pursuant to Section 99 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, the governing bodies of all local agencies whose service area or service responsibilities will be altered by a proposed jurisdictional change shall negotiate and determine by resolution the amount of property tax revenues to be exchanged between and among such local agencies.

C. The City Council of the City of American Canyon and the Board of Supervisors of the County of Napa, pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 99, subdivision (b)(5), have determined the amount of property tax revenues to be exchanged as a result of the proposed jurisdictional changes.

If litigation should result in a final judgement that the PWLAT annexation is invalid, including exhaustion of any appeals, then this Agreement shall have no further force or effect.

2. Allocation of Property Taxes. Subject to Section 4, beginning on the Annexation Effective Date, the County shall retain fifty percent (50%) of the County’s existing share of the one percent (1%) property tax rate increment from the PWLAT as calculated by the County Auditor (“County Tax Increment”); and the City shall be allocated fifty percent (50%) of the County Tax Increment (ie. “50%/50% allocation”).

3. Property Tax Revenue.

3 4. ULL/RHNA Agreement.

b. The parties agree City share of the County Tax Increment shall further increase from that amount shown in Section 2 upon approval of the transfer of the specified portion of the County’s RHNA to the City, commencing with the Seventh Housing Element Revision (2031-2039) and continuing for each subsequent Housing Element Revision in perpetuity, in accordance with the ULL/RHNA Agreement.

Beginning on the effective date of the Seventh Housing Element Revision that includes the transfer of the specified portion of the County’s RHNA to the City, in lieu of the allocation in Section 2, the City shall be allocated Seventy-Five percent (75%) of the County Tax Increment; and the County shall retain the remaining Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the County Tax Increment. This “75%/25% allocation” shall continue so long as the transfer of the specified portion of the County’s RHNA is included in each subsequent Housing Element Revision in accordance with the ULL/RHNA Agreement. If any future Housing Element Revision does not include the transfer of the County’s RHNA to the City by the applicable percentage set forth in the ULL/RHNA Agreement for any reason, including a change in law, the “75%/25% allocation” of County Tax Increment in this Section shall cease and the “50%/50% allocation” of County Tax Increment shall be implemented in accordance with Section 2.

1 American Canyon Agreement No. ____
Napa County Agreement No. ____
American Canyon Fire Protection District Agreement No. ____ Property Tax Sharing Agreement
for the
Hess-Laird Affected Territory
This Property Tax Sharing Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of ______________, 2026 (“Effective Date”) by and between the County of Napa, a political subdivision of the state of California (“County") the City of American Canyon, a municipal corporation (“City”), and the American Canyon Fire Protection District, a Subsidiary Special District (“ACFPD") (collectively, “Parties”).

RECITALS
A. The Local Agency Formation Commission of Napa County (“LAFCO”) has received a landowner application dated March 12, 2026 for the “Hess-Laird Affected Territory (HLAT),” consisting of approximately281 acres and collectively comprising APNs 057-090-065 & -066 as described and depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“HLAT”). The application proposes to amend the City’s and the American Canyon Fire Protection District’s (“District”) Spheres of Influence to include the HLAT and to annex the HLAT into the jurisdictional boundaries of the City and the District (collectively, the “HLAT Reorganization”).

B. The properties comprising the HLAT are currently outside the American Canyon Urban Limit Line (ULL).

C. Concurrently herewith, the City and County will execute a separate “Amended and Restated Urban Limit Line and Regional Housing Needs Allocation Agreement (ULL/RHNA Agreement)” that will permit the City to expand its ULL to include properties in the HLAT in exchange for the City’s agreement to accept a percentage of the County’s RHNA in perpetuity, commencing with the Seventh Housing Element Revision.

D. Pursuant to Section 99 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, the governing bodies of all local agencies whose service area or service responsibilities will be altered by a proposed jurisdictional change shall negotiate and determine by resolution the amount of property tax revenues to be exchanged between and among such local agencies. 137
2 E. The City Council of the City of American Canyon, the Board of Directors of the American Canyon Fire Protection District, and the Board of Supervisors of the County of Napa, pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 99, subdivision (b)(5), have determined the amount of property tax revenues to be exchanged as a result of the proposed jurisdictional changes.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Annexation Effective Date. The property tax allocation set forth in Section 2 below shall commence on the date the LAFCO Executive Officer’s Certificate of Completion is recorded consistent with applicable law, including the Cortese-KnoxHertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, Government Code Section 56000. et seq., but in no event prior to approval of the HLAT Reorganization by LAFCO (“Annexation Effective Date”). If litigation is filed challenging the validity of the HLAT Reorganization, the Annexation Effective Date shall be tolled until the litigation and any appeals are concluded. If litigation should result in a final judgement that the HLAT Reorganization is invalid, including exhaustion of any appeals, then this Agreement shall have no further force or effect.

2. Allocation of Property Taxes.
a. Beginning on the Annexation Effective Date, the ACFPD shall be allocated one hundred percent (100%) of the County's Structural Fire tax increment as calculated by the Napa County Auditor-Controller ("County Auditor"). This allocation shall not be subject to change based on Section 4.
b. Subject to Section 4, beginning on the Annexation Effective Date, the City shall be allocated Forty-Seven and a half percent (47.5%) of the County’s share of the one percent (1%) property tax rate increment from the HLAT as calculated by the County Auditor (“County Tax Increment”); the ACFPD shall be allocated Five percent (5%) of County Tax Increment; and the County shall retain the remaining Forty-Seven and a half percent (47.5%) of the County Tax Increment (i.e. “47.5%/5%/47.5% allocation”).

4. ULL/RHNA Agreement.
138
3 a. Concurrently herewith, the City and County shall enter a separate “Urban Limit Line and Regional Housing Needs Allocation Agreement (ULL/RHNA Agreement)” authorizing the City to expand the American Canyon ULL to include properties in the HLAT in exchange for the City’s agreement to accept a percentage of the County’s RHNA in perpetuity, commencing with the Seventh Housing Element Revision. The ACFPD shall not be a party to the ULL/RHNA Agreement. b. The parties agree the City share of the County Tax Increment shall increase from that amount shown in Section 2 upon approval of the transfer of the specified portion of the County’s RHNA to the City, commencing with the Seventh Housing Element Revision (2031-2039) and continuing for each subsequent Housing Element Revision in perpetuity, in accordance with the ULL/RHNA Agreement.

Beginning on the effective date of the Seventh Housing Element Revision that includes the transfer of the specified portion of the County’s RHNA to the City in accordance with the ULL/RHNA Agreement, in lieu of the allocation in Section 2b the City shall be allocated Seventy percent (70%) of the County’s share of the County Tax Increment; the ACFPD shall be allocated Five percent (5%) of County Tax Increment; and the County shall retain the remaining Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the County Tax Increment. This “70%/25%/5% allocation” shall continue so long as the transfer of the specified portion of the County’s RHNA is included in each subsequent Housing Element Revision. If any future Housing Element Revision, does not include the transfer of the County’s RHNA to the City by the applicable percentage set forth in the ULL/RHNA Agreement for any reason, including a change in law, the “70%/5%/25% allocation” of County Tax Increment in this Section shall cease and the “47.5%/5%/47.5% allocation” of County Tax Increment shall be implemented in accordance with Section 2b.

5. Additional Terms and Conditions:
a. Compliance with Revenue and Taxation Code section 99. Whenever applicable, the parties will take the necessary steps required by section 99 of the Revenue and Taxation Code to implement this Agreement, including adoption of the requisite resolutions.
b. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other parties, their elected and appointed officials, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, claims, demands, proceedings and judgments including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively, “Claims”) against the other parties for damages or violation of any law arising from or in any way connected with any act, omission, or other action taken by that party in performance of its duties under this Agreement. 139
4 c. Warranty of Legal Authority Each party warrants and covenants that it has the present legal authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform the acts required of it hereunder. If any party is found to lack the authority to perform the acts required of it hereunder or is prevented from performing the acts by a court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall be void.
d. Assignment/Delegation. Neither party hereto shall assign, or transfer any benefit or obligations of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, and no assignment shall be of any force or effect whatsoever unless and until the other party shall have so consented.
e. Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement or the ULL/RHNA Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the valid or enforceable portion thereof and the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the ULL/RHNA Agreement will remain in full force and effect except to the extent removal of the invalid portion would materially and adversely impact one or more parties’ consideration for entering into this Agreement and the ULL/RHNA Agreement.
f. Waiver. Any waiver (express or implied) by either party of any breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. g. Re-Opener. In the event City approves development proposals for properties within the HLAT for uses that exceed the ACPFD's financial ability to provide services, then the City and AFFPD will work together to augment revenue sources available to the ACFPD which may include the reallocation of City’s share of County Tax Increment to the ACFPD to support delivery of ACFPD services, but regardless, the County will retain 25% of the County Tax Increment and have no obligation to support ACFPD or reallocate any of its remaining County Tax Increment. h.

Event Title: Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) Board Meeting Event Report: Mayor Washington and I attended this monthly meeting. Some highlights are noted below:

We are still pursuing a $2 million "earmark" for our SR29 Multi-Modal corridor project--one benefit of our new Federal Lobbyist firm.

NVTA also approved updating its Comprehensive Multi-Modal Plan, which we did several years ago and needs an update. This is the study that led to our Corridor Project, and updating it will also set us up for future grant opportunities.

Included funding in the draft two year budget to get both our 29 Corridor Project and the SR12/29 interchange either ready for construction, or at least continue the process without delay. Even more exciting, CalTrans is estimating completion of Plans Specifications & Estimates (PSE) by the end of 2027--we might see action on the corridor before 2030!!!
We adopted the Countywide Active Transportation Plan, which is a combination of the prior Bike Plan and Pedestrian Plan. This will now go to each jurisdiction to include our portion to our Circulation Plan.

We also heard a report on improving the fish passage by the new Soscol Junction project. We were originally going to include it as part of the project, but there were too many State Regulatory issues/conflicts, and we were running out of time. We received approval to move forward, and now the RCD looks like it will take the preliminary work we did and run with it. The goal is to avoid any major construction and just focus on improving fish access to and from the existing culvert.

We also received a quarterly update on the Transit System.

Event Type Community Event
Event Title: Community events and activities
Event Report: Attended the annual Holi Festival at Shenandoah Park. Even though it didn't rain during the event, the wet weather before and after did impact turnout. Still a fun event, and the kids that were there certainly enjoyed themselves. Plenty of "snacks" for everyone, too! The Arts Foundation sponsored a "Sip and Paint" fundraiser for Art Students going to Italy to learn about art. Not sure how much they raised, but it was a full house and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

Attended the Kiwanis Board meeting. The Crab Feed netted just under $20,000 this year, so we will be able to fund scholarships and community projects! We also will do some de-briefing so next year's Crab feed will be much better!
Toured the Ruins with developer Terry McGrath. Although slower than we were led to believe, the project is moving forward, with underground utilities being installed as I write! Terry has several concerts planned for this year, and he is creating a lot of event spaces on the complex. It will take time, but this will be something that will bring in a lot of people.

Attended the monthly Napa County Democratic Central Committee meeting. A lot of the discussion was on the upcoming Governor's Race.

Event Title: American Canyon Realtors (ACRES)
Event Report: On April 10, 2026, I the opportunity to attend a meeting with local realtors, where I provided a brief State of the City overview and shared updates on current priorities, development activity, and issues impacting American Canyon. The discussion included highlights on economic development, housing, public safety, and upcoming projects shaping the future of our community.

Following the presentation, I participated in a Q&A session, responding to questions about City initiatives, infrastructure investments, and pathways for continued collaboration between the city and the real estate community. The meeting was a productive opportunity to engage with local stakeholders and reinforce transparency and communication around the City’s work.

Event Title: MAYORS Lunch with Mayor Sorce, Vallejo, & Mayor Young, Benicia Event Report: As part of my ongoing commitment to strengthening regional collaboration, I continue to meet regularly with the mayors of our sister cities, including Mayor Andrea Sorce of Vallejo and Mayor Steve Young of Benicia. These conversations focus on building stronger working relationships, sharing perspectives, and exploring opportunities for collaboration on issues that impact our communities. This month, we met for a community partnership lunch at Bab’s Restaurant in Vallejo, providing an informal but meaningful setting to discuss regional priorities and reinforce our shared commitment to cooperation and mutual support.

Event Title: Spirit Horse Equine Facility Veterans Horseback riding Event Report: On April 14, I had the opportunity to attend a veteran horseback riding event at Spirit Horse, facilitated by Dr. Mustafa and hosted by Charlotte Dougherty. Spirit Horse is a remarkable venue that provides therapeutic and supportive experiences for veterans, children with disabilities, and adults managing anxiety. The event highlighted the positive impact of equine‑assisted programs in promoting wellness, connection, and healing, while also showcasing the importance of community‑based resources that serve diverse needs. I appreciate the dedication of the organizers and volunteers who continue to create welcoming and meaningful opportunities for those they serve. 164

Event Title: Napa LAFCO Meeting
Event Report: The Commission addressed several administrative and governance items, with a focus on budget planning, subcommittee structure, and membership transitions. A proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026–27 was adopted and released for agency review, with final consideration scheduled for June 1, 2026.

A notable transition involves Public Member Ken Leary, whose term expires May 4, 2026, and who was not reappointed. His departure creates vacancies on the Budget and MSR/SOI ad hoc subcommittees. The Budget Committee is expected to conclude its work upon adoption of the final budget in June, while a replacement for the MSR/SOI subcommittee is anticipated to be appointed at that same meeting. In the interim, work on MSR/SOI efforts is on hold.

The Commission also completed the selection process for the next Public Member. Through a ranked voting process, Alex Russ received the highest ranking (lowest score) and was appointed to the position.

Additional discussion included an overview of Municipal Service Reviews (MSRs) and Spheres of Influence (SOIs), reinforcing their role in guiding orderly growth, service delivery, and future boundary decisions. The Commission is considering forming a new ad hoc subcommittee to help guide this work moving forward. 165
