RE

COMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council provide feedback on the possible adoption of an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO).

ISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact as a result of the City Council providing staff feedback as part of the study session. Should the City Council choose to adopt an IHO in the future, there would likely be a fiscal impact due to increased staffing and administrative costs to implement the ordinance should a charge/fee not be included within the program documents. There is also the possibility of additional revenue generation for housing production should the City Council choose to adopt an in-lieu fee as an alternative means of compliance.

SCUSSION
S
tudy Session
On May 27, 2025, the City Council held a Special Meeting for a Study Session on the possible adoption of an IHO, which is an Implementation Measure contained within the City’s Certified 6
th Cycle Housing Element at Program 2.1.10. Members of the community provided public input.

D
uring the Study Session, the project team provided a project overview, discussed the legal and local contexts of IHOs, presented the draft financial feasibility analysis, discussed the outreach process to date, and detailed next steps.

Antioch City Council Report
August 26, 2025 Agenda Item# SM-1 2

Inclusionary Summary
Inclusionary ordinances require that a specific percentage of units in market -rate development projects be offered at below -market rates. These percentages are known as inclusionary requirements.

Local jurisdiction s have flexibility regarding t he content s of IHOs , within the legal parameters outlined above. However, most IHOs in California include the following regulatory components:

 Threshold Project Size. This is the minimum project size below which projects are not subject to the affordable housing production requirements. Common threshold project size ranges from five to 10 units.

 Income and Affordability Requirements. These are the core of the IHO. They are the percentages of total housing units that are required to be affordable. The majority of ordinances require that eligible projects include 10 to 25 percent affordable units. Requirements may range from a single requirement for all project types and all affordability levels, to a range of requirements based on project size and type and/or for units of various affordability levels. Variations in affordability requirements are demonstrated in local IHOs (see Attachment B).

 In-Lieu Fee Regulation. Most IHOs in California offer developers the option of paying a fee rather than building the required affordable units. Typically, these in- lieu fees are transferred to a Housing Trust Fund (HTF) dedicated to affordable housing. Antioch does not have an HTF and would need to establish one to administer in-lieu fees. In-lieu fees are not a legally required component of IHOs.

 Alternative Compliance Options. Most IHOs include local options for complying with inclusionary requirements, other than constructing the required affordable units on- site. As noted, IHOs that include requirements for rental housing are legally required to include at least one such option. Examples of alternative compliance options include, but are not limited to:
o Off-site construction of affordable units.
o Dedication or donation of land to the jurisdiction, for construction of affordable housing.
o Partnerships with affordable housing developers on affordable housing projects.
o Acquisition and rehabilitation of existing units to affordable units.

 Developer Incentives. Many IHOs include incentives for developers to comply with requirements. These incentives reduce the potential burden of affordability requirements. Examples of incentives include, but are not limited to:
o Waiving of various permitting fees.
o Modifications to zoning and development standards.
o Local density bonus, in addition to State Density Bonus.

 Affordable Unit Standards. These are physical and planning standards to ensure that BMR units are of the same quality as market rate units. Other standards regulate the sale, resale and deed restriction parameters of BMR units, to ensure that BMR units remain affordable for a prescribed period of time.

Not all IHOs contain all these regulations, and others include additional regulations.

In May, staff recommended the following general direction for IHO regulation, based on housing priorities established in Housing Element Program 2.1.10 and results of the Antioch IHO Project to date:

 Prioritize on-site construction of affordable units.
 Include a 15% total inclusionary requirement; potentially higher. o Allocate the total inclusionary requirement across individual income categories.
 Include an in-lieu fee option.
o Consider the viability of combination compliance: Part on -site construction and part in-lieu fee payments.
o Establish a Housing Trust Fund as a necessary repository of in-lieu fees.  Include at least one other alternative compliance option.  Include developer incentives.
 Require affordable units constructed under the IHO to remain affordable in perpetuity.
 Consider MTC TOC Policy requirements for IHOs, to ensure that Antioch remains eligible for future OBAG funding.

Staff had prepared several guided questions for the Council to provide feedback to staff at the May Study Session. Due to time constraints, Council requested staff return at a later date with the guided questions.

Tonight, staff requests Council and the public provide feedback on the following questions:

 What are your concerns about an IHO in Antioch?
 How can Antioch's IHO produce affordable housing without constraining overall development?
 What types of housing does Antioch need?
 What compliance alternatives should Antioch offer developers?  What incentives should Antioch offer developers to ease IHO requirements?

Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Information
During the May Study Session, Council asked about Antioch’s RHNA compared to other jurisdictions. RHNA is mandated by California law and requires local jurisdictions to plan for their “fair share” of housing units across all affordability levels.

Antioch City Council Report
August 26, 2025 Agenda Item# SM-1 4

Antioch’s RHNA for the 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Housing Element is:

• Very Low Income 792 units
• Low Income 456 units
• Moderate Income 493 units
• Above Moderate

1,275 units
• TOTAL 3,016 units

Attachment B includes a table of the RHNA for all jurisdictions in Contra Costa County.

Based on this table, staff has made the following findings:

1. With the County's third largest population, Antioch has the 6th highest RHNA in the County:

Meaning that Antioch has a history of providing affordable housing. Conversely, the Cities of San Ramon and Walnut Creek have smaller populations than Antioch but have significantly higher RHN's

2. The City of Antioch has a 26.3% requirement for VLI of its total RHNA; 12 x other agencies have higher percentages

3. The City of Antioch has a 15.1% requirement for LI of its total RHNA; 12 x other agencies have higher percentages

4. The City of Antioch has a 16.3% requirement for M of its total RHNA; 7 x other agencies have higher percentages; this suggests that the City of Antioch needs to increase its M affordability numbers.

5. The City of Antioch has a combined VLI & LI requirement of 41.4% of its total RHNA; 12 x other agencies have a higher percentage

6. The City of Antioch has a requirement to provide 57.73% of its total RHNA for affordable housing (VLI+LI=M):

Subject: Summary of Efforts on behalf of the City of Antioch Overview
Founded in 1998, Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. (TPA) is a premi er advocacy firm that provides California advocacy, federal advocacy, and grant writing services to public agencies and nonprofit organizations throughout California.

TPA has worked in close partnership with the City of Antioch since late February 2025. Our efforts have centered on delivering value through targeted grant pursuits, legislative advocacy, and strategic representation at both the state and federal levels. TPA is pleased to present this memorandum to the City of Antioch summarizing our efforts and accomplishments over the past few months in support of the City's legislative agenda and funding priorities. This memo is broken down into three main sections: Summary of Federal Highlights, S ummary of Grant Highlights, Summary of State Highlights.

Summary of Federal Highlights
Federal Community Project Funding Efforts
TPA collaborated with City leadership to develop and advocate for three funding projects aligned with the City’s long-term infrastructure and economic development goals.

More specifically, TPA drafted, refined, and submitted three fe deral funding requests to Congressmember Mark DeSaulnier, S enator Alex Padilla, and Senat or Adam Schiff. These requests were for funding the following projects: Strategic Pub lic Safety Technology Improvements, Critical Infrastructure Solutions for West Antioch Creek, and East Antioch Creek Outfall Improvements.

Page 2 of 5 ends

The TPA Team managed the entire process: from drafting the appl ication, writing the narrative, creating the budget, coordinating letters of support, submittin g all three projects to our federal delegation, and providing ongoing advocacy through our Washington, D.C. office.

East Antioch Creek
Outfall Improvements End of April $3,000,000 Was not selected by the delegation due to honoring last year’s submissions

We discussed all of our projects in detail with Congressmember DeSaulnier’s team and in person with the Congressmember in his office. He has been a champion o f the City in the past and unfortunately due to last year’s Continuing Resolution there was the focus of honoring last year’s submissions. Based on our work this year, this effort should set us up well for Fiscal Year 27. On the Senate side, Senator Padilla only received 3 projects in th e bill that would have funded the public safety project. For reference, Sen. Moran from Kansas, who chairs the committee, received 35 projects in this bill.

Washington, DC Advocacy Trip
The TPA team set up two full days of very productive meetings on behalf of the City. Our efforts included logistical support, recommending meetings, soliciting the City’s feedback, scheduling the meetings, drafting speaking points, setting up a preparation me eting before, arranging transportation for both days, being active participants during the meetings, taking notes, and driving next steps. We felt it was a great first step and very productive two days.

Federal Advocacy Efforts
The TPA Federal Team has been very active on behalf of the City of Antioch, which includes the following efforts:

Since the beginning of the Trump Administration and the budget reconciliation process, TPA has engaged the House Ways and Means Committee (W&M), Senate Financ e Committee, our Congressional delegation, and Congressional leadership to advoc ate for the City on three key areas:

1. Municipal Bonds: The original proposal from House W&M targeted the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds. This would have been one of the most detrim ental provisions for the City and was a constant point of discussion in our meetings with the Committees and legislators. Due to significant pushback, this provision did not make its way into the initial drafts.

2. Clean Energy Tax Credits: TPA engaged with several committees of jurisdiction on the efforts to cut or repeal clean energy tax credits. While the credits were not fully saved, the final version of the bill provided for significantly more accom modating timelines than initially proposed and avoided full scale repeals.

3. SNAP: We also successfully advocated for a delay in the implementation of the new SNAP cost-sharing requirements, securing a postponement until 2027. This strategic effort was designed to allow additional tim e for preparation and was groun d e d i n t h e p r a c t i c a l realities of the current Congress and the ongoing policy debate.

Surface Transportation Reauthorization
Surface transportation reauthoriz ation is a once-in-five-years opportunity that will shape how hundreds of billions of dollars are distributed. This is a strategic opportunity for cities to influence how that funding flows and ensure a variety of project types remain eligible.

TPA is leading a legislative effort and coalition letter to see k greater local control over federal Surface Transportation Block Grant funds in the upcoming 2026 s urface transportation reauthorization. By advocating for direct allocation of formula funds to MPOs, the initiative seeks to empower cities and regional agencies to prioritize and deliver infrastructure projects that meet the specific needs of their communities.

United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Site visit A s a d i r e c t f o l l o w u p f r o m o u r v i s i t t o W a s h i n g t o n D C a n d m e e t ing with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, we discussed coming to Antioch for a site visit.

The goal of the site visit is to better understand our goals wh ile understanding the landscape.

Setting up this meeting is in progress and should happen before fall.

Summary of Grant Highlights
TPA has led the development and submission of multiple competitive grant applications on behalf of the City. Each month, TPA delivers a comprehensive funding o pportunity report identifying active and upcoming grant solicitations for which the City is e ligible. This document serves as a key decision-making tool, enabling City leadership to stay info rmed and proactive in pursuing external funding. TPA actively m onitors various local, state, federal, and private grant opportunities for the City’s consideration and condenses the appropriate information and criteria into regular funding opportunity reports.

TPA collaborates closely with City staff to review these opportunities, offering expert guidance on program eligibility, technical requirements, evaluation criteri a, and strategic positioning. This consultation ensures that the City can make fully informed deci sions about which opportunities align best with its priorities and resources. Once a project re ceives internal approval, TPA manages the grant application process from end to end - handlin g everything including initial narrative development, budget planning, drafting and securing l etters of support, community outreach assistance, compliance checks and final submission.

TPA’s targeted approach to grant writing has not only increased the City's competitiveness in securing external funding but also helped to advance impactful projects that serve the needs of residents and the broader community. Since March, TPA has identified numerous grant programs the City is eligible for, and a detailed list of all grant applications submitted along with their current status and is provided below:

The TPA Grants Team recently reviewed the City of Antioch’s Cal VIP grant application. Our efforts included conducting a comprehensive review to ensure the proposal met all requirements and presented the strongest possible case for funding. This included verifying that the application addressed every required section, met eligibility criteria, and adhered to CalVIP submission guidelines. We assessed the clarity and coherence of the narrative, ensuring it conveyed a logical and persuasive argument with well-defined objectives, evidence-based strategies, and measurable outcomes. We evaluated the strength of the supportin g evidence, reviewing the inclusion and presentation of relevant data, research, and community impact to substantiate the proposed interventions. The proposed budget was carefully revie wed to confirm it was realistic, fully justified, and aligned with planned activities. Finally, we provided targeted recommendations to refine tone, enhance readability, and improve formatting to ensure the overall application was compelling and professional.

Summary of State Highlights
TPA has remained highly engaged in Sacramento, ensuring the City is fully informed of significant legislative developments and emerging policy issues. Our work h as included providing timely legislative summaries, delivering customized legislative matric es, and sharing targeted policy analyses so the City remains well-positioned to respond to evolving state priorities.

A key accomplishment this year was the preparation of a compreh ensive summary of the FY 2025–26 State Budget, which included an in-depth review of the 17 associated trailer bills. Notably, two of these measures, AB 130 and AB 131, represent some of the most far-reaching reforms in housing, homelessness, and environmental streamlining that Cali fornia has advanced in many years. Although these bills were enacted as part of the budget process, their significance extends well beyond fiscal matters. They introduce lasting changes to l and use policy, project delivery mechanisms, and the balance of local control, marking a substan tial shift in how development and infrastructure projects may be planned and implemented across the state.

Page 5 of 5 ends

TPA also ensured the City remained informed about SB 63 (Wiener a n d A r r e g u í n ) , a m a j o r coordinated legislative and regional initiative. This bill prop oses a framework for district-wide transactions and use tax dedicated to supporting public transportation throughout the Bay Area.

Developed through extensive negotiations among major regional transit operators and agencies, SB 63 authorizes the creation of a Transportation Revenue Measu re District (TRMD) encompassing Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, as well as the City and County of San Francisco. The legislation has continued to a dvance through the process, recently incorporating significant amendments that may influence its scope and implementation.

In addition, TPA prepared a deta iled “End of Session” legislati ve memorandum for the City, outlining priority issues and ant icipated developments during t he final weeks of the 2025 Legislative Session. When lawmakers reconvene on August 18, second house fiscal committees will have until August 29 to consider and advance remaining bil ls. From September 2 through September 12, the Legislature will meet exclusively in floor se ssion, during which all eligible measures must be approved and forwarded to the Governor. Govern or Newsom will then have until October 12 to sign or veto legislation passed by that deadline.

Beyond our state legislative tracking, TPA continues to provide the City with consistent, in-depth weekly updates from both Sacramento and Washington, D.C. These reports cover state, federal, and grant-related policy issues, ensuring the City remains informed on matters that directly and indirectly affect local operations, regional priorities, and long-term strategic goals.

Subject: Grants and Funding Monthly Report
Overview
This memo provides a monthly outline of upcoming funding opportunities and grant programs that could potentially meet the City’s funding needs. This memo is not a comprehensive list of all g r a n t s t h a t a r e c u r r e n t l y a v a i l a b l e , b u t o n e s t h a t y o u m a y b e able to submit competitive applications for relevant priority projects.

Funding Priorities
Federal and State government age ncies are currently navigating funding uncertainty, and TPA continues to monitor ongoing changes during the budget process. TPA has met with city staff and noted their priorities of acquiring a new tactical vehicle, dre dging funding, and flood mitigation funding. Any information the city can provide in way of staff reports, project plans, is appreciated.

Future Opportunities
California’s General Fund revenues have performed better than e xpected, with higher -than- projected federal cost recoveries in January helping to offset shortfalls in income tax collections.

According to the February 2025 Finance Bulletin, total revenues for the month were just $361 million (1.5%) below the administration’s projections, despite a $710 million gap in personal and corporate income taxes —potentially linked to tax payment delays caused by the Los Ange les wildfires. For the 2024-25 fiscal year to date, revenues are now running $2.2 billion (2.0%) above expectations, largely due to stronger-than-anticipated collecti ons in December and continued robust withholding revenues, which the Legislative Analyst’s Of fice (LAO) notes have remained resilient even in the face of economic disruptions.

Looking ahead, the LAO now projects that revenues for 2024-25 w ill come in $4.4 billion higher than the Governor’s January Budget estimates, with an additional $2.4 billion increase expected

Page 2 of 5 ends

in 2025-26. These gains are largely driven by stock market perf ormance boosting high-income tax collections, though corporate and sales tax revenues remain weaker. While these additional funds improve the state’s fiscal position, much of the revenue is constitutionally required to go to schools and reserves, limiting its flexibility to offset other budget pressures. The stronger revenue outlook may also reduce the need for planned withdrawals from the Rainy Day Fund.

For the upcoming 2025-26 budget year, both the Department of Fi nance (DOF) and the LAO indicate that the budget remains balanced following the adjustments made in the 2024-25 budget agreement. However, concerns persist over structural deficits beginning in 2026-27 and beyond, as expenditure growth continues to outpace revenue growth. The LAO’s Fiscal Outlook, released in November 2024, highlights these long-term challenges, noting that while revenue projections have improved, they do not necessarily reflect sustained economic growth. Additionally, ongoing uncertainty surrounding federal program funding and economic policies presents further risks to the state’s financial stability.

While California’s near -term revenue outlook has improv ed, policymakers remain focused o n maintaining budget discipline to address future structural chal lenges. The May Revision will provide further insight into how these shifting revenue trends will influence final budget decisions.

Federal Funding Updates

On January 27, 2025, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a memo pausing federal grants and loans to review alignment with the administration's priorities. This action led to widespread disruptions across vari ous sectors, including grant administrators. Federal judges issued temporary restraining orders blocking the freeze, citing constitutional concerns and potential harm to essential programs. Despite these legal chall enges, the administration has continued efforts to implement the funding pause.

As of today, the determinations have yet to be resolved. While some federal agencies have resumed grant activities following court orders, others continue to operate under the constraints of the funding freeze. We are tracking updates on a case-by-cas e basis from relevant agencies for updates on grant availability and application procedures.

TPA has met with city staff and noted their priorities of acquiring a new tactical vehicle, dredging funding, and flood mitigation funding. Any information the city can provide in way of staff reports, project plans, is appreciated.

State Budget Update

Despite the fact that Governor Newsom presented a balanced budget proposal in early January, California’s fiscal picture remains in flux. Several dynamic factors are reshaping the budget conversation in real time — including federal uncertainty, unanticipated wildfire response costs, and structural pressures from previously enacted program expansions.

Key Drivers of Budget Uncertainty:

1. California–DC Fiscal Dynamics: Federal action—or inaction—continues to significantly influence California’s fiscal standing. As of March, Congress h as yet to finalize key appropriations or act on potential extensions of federal health and human services waivers, leaving states like California in a holding pattern. For example, delayed federal matching funds for Medicaid and housing programs are creating uncertaint y in budget planning.

Page 2 of 7 ends

California’s Department of Finance is closely monitoring whethe r anticipated federal reimbursements will materialize, particularly for behavioral health initiatives funded in prior years.

2. Impact of the LA Wildfires: The catastrophic wildfires that swept through Los Angeles in late 2024, destroying more than 16,000 structures, have had widespread fiscal ripple effects. The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services has submitted multiple requests for federal disaster aid, but reimbursement timelines remain unclear. In the interim, the state is advancing more than $325 million in emergency wildfire respo nse and cleanup costs, straining the General Fund. Budget writers are considering reserve fund withdrawals and potential deferrals to other programs to offset wildfire-related expenditures.

3. Overspending in Key Programs – Especially Medi-Cal: The expansion of Medi-Cal to all income-eligible Californians, regardless of immigration status, while widely applauded, has introduced steep cost overruns. The Department of Health Ca re Services recently revised its cost projections, estimating that Medi-Cal will run a $6.2 billion shortfall in 2025-

26. The Governor’s budget proposes a mix of internal borrowing, one-time fund transfers, and an additional $2.8 billion in emergency General Fund support to stabilize the program.

This comes on top of a previously approved $3.4 billion bridge loan, prompting legislators to scrutinize the sustainability of the program’s long-term growth.

Looking Ahead:

x The May Revision (May Revise) of the Governor’s budget is expec ted to reflect updated tax filing data and incorporate adjustments for wildfire, Medi-Cal, and any finalized federal aid.
x Budget subcommittees are currently reviewing every major program for cost containment opportunities.
x The state’s Rainy Day Fund remains at approximately $22 billion , but lawmakers are hesitant to tap into it early in the fiscal year unless revenue forecasts worsen.

While the January budget proposal struck a cautiously optimistic tone, California’s fiscal outlook is still evolving. Lawmakers face difficult choices in the months ahead as they balance long-term investments with near-term stability in the face of natural disasters, federal delays, and ballooning costs in health and human services.

Funding Priorities

California State Budget Update

As the state prepares to release the Governor’s May Revision, preliminary revenue data for April offers an early indication of Ca lifornia’s fiscal outlook. While near-term revenues are performing well, significant risks remain on the horizon for the 2025–26 fiscal year and beyond.

Despite current strength, the revenue outlook for June collections and the 2025–26 budget year is less certain. Recent economic instability and volatility in equity markets have raised concerns about potential shortfalls in June quarterly tax payments, which are projected to be significantly higher than last year’s. In addition, macroeconomic risks—including a potential recession—pose ongoing threats to revenue stability.

While current-year revenues may improve the 2024 –25 picture slightly, the state is unlikely to have capacity for major new investments in the 2025 –26 budget. Structural deficits, higher

program costs, and potential reductions in federal support coul d result in a challenging budget environment in June, with the possibility of mid-year adjustments later in the summer or fall.

The Governor’s May Revision, expected in mid-May, will incorporate updated revenue figures and inform legislative deliberations ahead of the June constitution al budget deadline. However, as Speaker Robert Rivas has noted, significant changes may be required later in the year depending on federal actions and economic trends.

Subject: Grants and Funding Monthly Report

Overview

The purpose of this memo is to provide a monthly outline of upc oming funding opportunities and grant programs that could potentially meet the City’s funding needs in the near future. This memo is not a comprehensive list of all grants that are currently available, but ones that you may be able to submit competitive applications for relevant priority projects.

Funding Priorities

State Update – California Finalizes Budget, But Key Policies Remain in Flux

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the FY 2025–26 state budget, f ollowing approval of 17 initial trailer bills by the Legislature. While the Administration has characterized the budget as balanced and people-centered, several maj or policy changes—particularly in housing, homelessness, and CEQA—remain tied to pending trailer legislation.

Two key bills that passed as part of the budget package include:
x AB 130 (Housing Policy Trailer Bill): Consolidates major land u se and housing reforms, including the permanent extension of SB 330’s streamlined approvals, CEQA exemptions for infill housing, a six-year pause on new local building codes, and modified wage standards for eligible projects.
x AB 131 (Homelessness & Environmental Policy Trailer Bill): Allocates $500 million for Round 7 of the HHAP program (effective FY 2026–27), and includes targ eted CEQA streamlining across multiple project types—including infill housing, day care centers, broadband, climate adaptation infrastructure, and wildfire risk reduction. Notably , the proposal also includes CEQA streamlining for projects utilizing upcoming rounds of Pro position 4 funding – the recently passed $10 billion climate bond.

Page 2 of 8 ends

Overall, local agencies should monitor both the implementation structure and eligibility criteria tied to funding, as well as the long-term regulatory changes being e mbedded through this expedited budget process.

Federal Update – Budget Reconciliation Process Creates Uncertainty for States

In Washington, DC, the Senate is preparing to vote on the One B ig Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), a sweeping budget reconciliation package that would reshape feder al-state funding dynamics.

However, a recent procedural review under the Byrd Rule has forced significant revisions, stripping out provisions that do not meet strict budgetary standards.

Key outcomes include:
x SNAP/CalFresh Changes: While a proposed 5–25% cost-share on ben efits was reduced, states with high payment error rates—like California—will still face up to 15% cost-sharing on benefits, and a higher administrative burden (from 50% to 75 %), creating major fiscal exposure for state and county governments.
x Medicaid Cuts Removed: Proposed limits on provider taxes and el igibility periods were struck, preserving current state-federal funding structures for now. x Clean Energy Incentives Preserved: Green energy tax credit roll backs were removed from the bill, protecting California’s climate and clean energy investment strategies.

As the bill returns to the House for final passage, California faces near-term uncertainty over federal reimbursements, safety net program capacity, and future fiscal risk. These late-stage changes limit the ability of state and local agencies to plan with confidence.

Subject: Grants and Funding Monthly Report

Overview

The purpose of this memo is to provide a monthly outline of upc oming funding opportunities and grant programs that could potentially meet the City’s funding needs in the near future. This memo is not a comprehensive list of all grants that are currently available, but ones that you may be able to submit competitive applications for relevant priority projects.

Funding Priorities

TPA has met with city staff and noted their priorities of acquiring a new tactical vehicle, dredging funding, flood mitigation funding, and public safety funding. A ny information the city can provide in way of staff reports, project plans, is appreciated.

State Budget Overview: Enacted Framework and Pending Fiscal Actions

The core components of California’s 2025–26 state budget have b een enacted through SB 101— the 2025 Budget Act—signed into law on June 13. This primary bu dget framework was supplemented by AB 102, the first Budget Bill Jr., and a series of ac co mpanying trailer bills tha t collectively establish appropriations and policy adjustments across key program areas. Yet despite these milestones, major fiscal de cisions remain pending, particularly on issues deferred to later in the legislative session.

In the coming weeks, additional legislative action is expected to finalize allocations related to the Proposition 4 bond, the Greenhou se Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), a nd potential state-federal tax conformity arising from the passage of H.R. 1 at the federal le vel. August and September will be pivotal as policymakers work to reconcile these outstanding components and complete the broader budget architecture for 2025–26.

Cap-and-Trade Extension and GGRF Realignment

Page 2 of 7 ends

A central unresolved issue is the future of the Cap-and-Trade program, which is currently authorized through 2030. In April, Governor Newsom announced his intention to permanently extend the program as part of this year’s le gislative agenda—a move with m ajor implications for both climate policy and the state’s budget. Revenues from the auction of gre enhouse gas emission allowances are deposited into the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), wh i c h s u p p o r t s a v a r i e t y o f climate-focused programs and discretionary spending decisions.

While the enacted budget includes funding for core GGRF-support ed programs such as the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program, and the High-Speed Rail Project, many allocations rema in subject to future legislative negotiation. For example, the budget reflects the Governor’s “Cap and Invest” May Revision proposal by reducing GGRF allocations to CAL FIRE to $500 million and de ferring longer-term funding decisions for High-Speed Rail—spec ifically, the anticipated $1 billion annual allocation—pending broader Cap-and-Trade reauthorization. These deferrals signal a shifting dynamic, where legislative leadership is expected to play a larger role in shaping GGRF sp ending through follow-up budget negotiations and policy bills.

Proposition 4 Bond Implementation: Initial Allocations and Legislative Oversight

The implementation of Proposition 4, the $10 billion general ob ligation bond approved by voters in 2024, is another significant element of the 2025–26 fiscal land scape. The bond—f ormally titled the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act — provides long-term funding for climate resilience, environmental infrastructure, and energy transition programs across more than 30 state agencies.

Governor Newsom’s multiyear implementation plan proposes $2.7 billion in allocations for FY 2025– 26, including major investments in safe drinking water systems, wildfire preparedness, biodiversity, and clean energy. Early commitments proposed by the Administration include:
x Over $1 billion for water-related resilience, including drought, flood, and safe drinking water initiatives
x $325 million for wildfire and forest resilience
x $286 million for parks and outdoor access, and an additional $286 million for biodiversity and climate solutions
x Funding for coastal resilience, clean energy, extreme heat miti gation, and climate-smart agriculture

While these allocations reflect the Administration’s priorities, legislative oversight and program-level eligibility standards remain a work in progress. Several of these issues are expected to be addressed through clean-up trailer bills later this session.

Notably, AB 100—a midyear budget amendment signed into law this spring—provided an early test case for Prop 4 implementation. It accelerated $181 million in wildfire prevention funding in response to the Eaton and Palisades fires and reallocated an additional $300 million in Prop 4 funds to backfill General Fund shortfalls stemming from the state’s constrained f iscal condition. The measure also funded departmental staffing and administrative support tied to bond implementation. These early adjustments underscore how bond allocations are being used both to meet urgent needs and to stabilize broader budgetary pressures.

As the Legislature reconvenes in August, significant fiscal and policy work remains. Follow-up trailer bills are expected to refine Cap-and-Trade reauthorization, finalize GGRF and Prop 4 allocations, and address tax conformity and program eligibility issues. Toge ther, these actions will shape how

California deploys its limited discretionary resources in a challenging fiscal environment—balancing short-term service delivery with long-term infrastructure and climate resilience commitments.

Federal Budget Reconciliation: Potential Cost Shifts to California

Signed by President Trump on July 4, the $3.4 trillion OBBBA is the largest tax and spending package in U.S. history. While it temporarily expands several p opular tax benefits—including an increase in the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap and exemptions for tips and overtime pay—those benefits sunset by 2028. Meanwhile, the bill enacts deep and permanent cuts to federal entitlement and climate programs, shifting long-term costs onto states.

According to early estimates, OBBBA will result in a $20–$40 bi llion reduction in federal support to California over the next decade, particularly in healthcare, nu trition assistance, and administrative funding for social safety net programs. These impacts were not addressed in California’s 2025–26 budget, leaving future legislatures to reconcile how to absorb or offset these mounting cost pressures.

Background: The U.S. Army Corps of Enginee rs (USACE) is a federal agency w ithin the Department of Defense that provides engineering, construction, and infrastructure support for both military and civilian projects. It plays a critical role i n national security, economic development, and environmental conservation, working in coordination with other federal, state, and local agencies.

One of the Corps' primary responsibilities is civil works, whic h includes managing public infrastructure and water resources. USACE is responsible for fl ood control projects, such as levees and dams, to protect comm unities from natural disasters. It also maintains navigation channels, ports, and waterways t o support commercial shipping a nd trade.

Environmental Protection Agency

Background: EPA supports efforts under the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinki ng Water Act to protect and restore our nation's waters and ensure that every American has access to clean, safe water. While other agencies focus on flood management and water delivery, EPA is tasked with drinking water and wastewater treatment.

Unfortunately, EPA was unable to accommodate an in-person meeti ng request during our trip.

Due to EPA scheduling conflicts, staff recommended directing th is matter to Region 9’s Water Division. EPA further stated:

“The matter of sewage spills must be discu ssed within the context of any resources we have to address and that would be mainly the Clean Water SRF and the Region is best poised to guide on working with the State of California’s CWSRF Program. Sorry that we need to take this route for being responsive to the local leaders versus having them spend time here at headquarters while they are in town, but they will get the most appropriate and incredibly helpful input from dialogue with Region 9.”

Future Objectives
x Schedule meeting with Region 9’s Water Division
o Work with TPA to begin process

Additional information for Member meetings
Budget Reconciliation
Congress is currently engaged in a heated debate over a partisan reconciliation bill aimed at extending and expanding the expiring 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). The House and Senate have both passed budget resolutions to initiate the reconciliation process, which allows for expedited consideration of tax and spending legislation by bypassing the Senate's 60-vote filibuster rule. The House resolution permits a $4.5 trillion increase in the deficit over the next decade, contingent on $1.7 trillion in spending cuts. Meanwhile, the Senate's amended budget resolution sets a cap of $1.5 trillion for deficit increases but uses a "current policy" baseline that assumes the tax cuts will be extended indefinitely, effectively increasing the deficit impact to $5.3 trillion. This reconciliation bill is a cornerstone of the Republican agenda, aiming to solidify tax cuts, enhance border security, and reform energy policies, while Democrats criticize it for exacerbating the national debt and prioritizing corporate interests over public welfare. x As Congress considers new tax legislation in 2025, we urge members to preserve the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds so that local governments throughout the country have the economic certainty they need to continue making meaningful investments in the communities they serve.
x Maintaining the energy tax incentives already on the books and strengthened by the IRA. Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C), Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D), Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit (25E), New Clean Vehicle Credit (30D), Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit (45W), Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (45X), Clean Electricity Production Credit (45Y), Clean Electricity Investment Credit (48E), and the elective pay and transferability mechanisms associated with these credits that allow for local governments to make needed investments in municipal owned facilities.
x Ensure protection to long standing entitlements like Medicaid:
o As part of the budget reconciliation process mentioned earlier, Congress is being tasked with cutting at least $880 billion from programs under the jurisdiction of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. It is widely acknowledged that there is no way to achieve this level of funding cuts without making changes to the Medicaid program.
o The House Energy and Commerce Committee is expected to propose at least $880 billion in federal spending cuts over a decade, primarily affecting Medicaid.

Appropriations
x While we do not yet have the administration’s proposed budget package, Congress has begun the appropriations process. Additionally, the committee has continued to allow members to submit up to 15 projects to receive direct funding though the appropriations process.
o The City benefits from many programs funded through this process, advocating for ensuring that funding to key programs remains at past FY levels include:

CBDG, PFAS/ State Revolving Loan fund, key Law Enforcement grants (BJA).

Surface Transportation Reauthorization
x Congress will begin reviewing priorities for the reauthorization of key transportation and infrastructure programs. In addition to the Highway Trust Fund dollars, several programs established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) will be up for consideration.
x Ensure that key funding for state and local roads is kept intact x Work to find funding opportunities for key projects:

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Operating Budget to increase the funding from the Gas Tax Fund for the Countywide Smart Signals Project in the amount of $50,000.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of this resolution will amend the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Operating .Budget to increase the funding from the Gas Tax Fund for the Countywide Smart Signals Project in the amount of $50,000 for a total of $384,000 of Gas Tax Funds.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting of August 26,2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Jason Bonilla, Operations Supervisor Fleet
Scott Buenting, Public Works Director/ City Engineer fP Sole Source Purchase of a New to Fleet MRL Mini Mac 400 Self Propelled Thermo Plastic Striping Machine from Mark Rite Lines Equipment Co. Inc., in the Amount of $106,749.97.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the sole source purchase of a new to fleet 2025 MRL Mini Mac 400 Self-Propelled Thermoplastic Striping Machine from Mark Right Lines Equipment Co. Inc., in the amount of $106,749.97 and authorizing the City Manager to rollover funds from FY 2024/2025 to FY 2025/2026 from the Public Works Development Impact Fee Fund to execute the purchase order.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this expenditure was included in the fiscal year 2024/25 Public Works Development Impact Fee Fund in the amount of $120,000. As the final quoted price is only $106,749.97, it is requested to roll over and re-budget $106,750 of the funds to fiscal year 2025/26 to complete the purchase. This roll over will not impact the general fund.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of all the City's traffic signs and striping within City right of ways. Striping crews are limited on the type and quantity of thermoplastic striping work that they can perform due to current equipment limitations. The MRL Mini Mac 400 will allow work crews to perform Thermoplastic traffic striping that would otherwise need to be contracted out, such as 6-inch Double Yellow (Detail 22) lines, Centerlines, and Edge lines. These wider traffic striping lines were adopted by Cal-Trans to improve driver safety and visibility as well as assist autonomous driving systems with lane identification. If the purchase of this equipment is approved, the City will be replacing current raised pavement marker detail striping with the new Cal Trans Thermoplastic striping detail when current striping is worn and needs replacement.

All new striping details will be installed with Thermoplastic striping eliminating the need of ceramic pavement markers. This will improve visibility for motorists and lower labor and maintenance costs for the City.

H
Agenda Item #
Antioch City Council Report
August 26, 2025, Agenda Item H 2
This sole source purchase is based on the distinctive design and multi-functional capabilities of the MRL Mini Mac 400. City staff contacted multiple public agencies, industry professionals, vendors, and Co-operative purchasing partners in search of a portable self-propelled Thermoplastic striper that could perform the work at a reasonable price. Staff determined that Mark Rite Lines Equipment Co. Inc. is the only manufacturer that currently makes a self-propelled Thermoplastic striper of appropriate size needed for City use capable of installing double 6-inch-wide Thermoplastic stipes as well as other striping details such as Detail 16 No Passing zones, Detail 32 Two-Way turn lanes, and Detail 27B Right Edge lines. All other self-propelled Thermoplastic striping machines on the market with these features are Large Highway class equipment mounted onto Semi truck commercial vehicles which are too large and cost prohibitive to be a feasible alternative to this product. The unique features present in the MRL Mini Mac 400 will allow our staff to increase daily production and traffic safety for the public traversing our road network.

Staff recommends approving the sole source purchase order with Mark Right Lines Equipment Company Inc. in the amount of $106,749.97 for this purchase.

SUBJECT: Amendment to the Opioid Settlement Fund (Distributor Fund) FY25/26 Budget

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution amending the FY25/26 Opioid Settlement - Distributor Fund budget by $64,294, increasing the budget from $22,603 to $86,897.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund.

BACKGROUND
The opioid epidemic has had widespread impacts on communities across the nation, including Antioch. As part of a series of national settlements with opioid manufacturers and distributors, the City of Antioch is a designated recipient of settlement funds. These funds are required to be placed in a special revenue account and may only be used for eligible opioid abatement and remediation activities, such as:
• Expanding access to opioid use disorder treatment and recovery services. • Supporting harm reduction programs (e.g., naloxone distribution, safe use education). • Funding prevention and education programs for youth and families. • Addressing the needs of impacted individuals and families through supportive services.

The City of Antioch receives periodic allocations from the National Opioid Distributor Settlement Agreement, which allocates funds from pharmaceutical distributors (McKesson, Cardinal Health, AmerisourceBergen) and manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals to states and participating subdivisions. These funds are specifically earmarked for opioid remediation purposes and may not be used for general governmental functions.1

DISCUSSION
Currently, the Distributor Fund has a FY 25/26 budget of $22,603. The City plans to Agenda Item
Antioch City Council Report
August 26, 2025 Agenda Item I
purchase AEDs for the Antioch Police Department with these funds. This requires a budget amendment of $64,294 to accommodate this expense and other anticipated needs, increasing the total fund to $86,897. Opioid settlement proceeds are restricted-use funds and must be expended consistently with the abatement strategies outlined in the Distributor Settlement Agreement. Staff will incorporate future settlement payments and projected expenditures into upcoming budget cycles and will bring forward additional amendments as needed.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to approving the Consulting Services Agreement between the City of Antioch and Quality Sound to replace the Antioch Water Park public address (PA) system in an amount not to exceed $249,250 with a term ending June 30, 2026 and Authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute the Agreement in a form approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is $300,000 budgeted for this project in t he fiscal year 2025-26 Prewett Park CIP Fund budget.

DISCUSSION
The Antioch Water Park, opened in 1996, is the premier aquatics facility in East Contra Costa County. Operated by the City of Antioch, the 5-acre facility features five pools, five slides, a spray ground, two concession stands, a multipurpose room, and a v ariety of supporting amenities.

As the Water Park approaches its 30th anniversary, several core infrastructure systems are showing signs of aging. Notably, the park’s original audio-visual system has reached the end of its useful life. At the conclusion of the 2024 summer season, the park’s public address (PA) system experienced a full failure, resulting in the complete loss of audio capabilities throughout the facility. The system was inspected by multiple audio technicians as well as the City’s on- call electrician contractor. The conclusion of these inspections was that a completely new system is needed.

Antioch City Council Report
August 26, 2025 Agenda Item #J 2

This system is not only essential for music and entertainment during daily operations and special events but also serves as a critical safety and communication tool for making park-wide announcements and emergency notifications. The loss of this functionality has underscored the urgent need for a full system replacement ahead of the 2026 operating season.

In June 2025, staff released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking proposals from qualified audiovisual consulting firms to design and install a modernized sound system at the Antioch Water Park. The RFQ was distributed widely and the City received one proposal by the published deadline.

A panel of City staff reviewed and evaluated the submission using criteria outlined in the RFQ, including qualifications and experience with similar projects, understanding of the scope and challenges, past performance, proposal organization, and availabil ity.

Although they were the only submission, Quality Sound was determined to be a highly qualified respondent capable of delivering on the unique needs of this project.

Quality Sound has demonstrated extensive experience with municipal and aquatics facility projects, a clear understanding of the technical challenges involved, and a detailed phased approach aligned with the City's objectives. Their proposal also included thorough assessments of existing infrastructure, a user -friendly control solution for the Multipurpose Room, and cost-conscious installation planning.

Staff is recommending the award of this contract, which will include system design, upgrades, and speaker replacement.

PROJECT: AUDIOVISUAL SERVICES – ANTIOCH WATER PARK

Mr. Wright,
Quality Sound has a long-standing relationship with the City and Parks and Recreation Department, having previously been a prime vendor for both the City Council Chambers and Prewitt Park Community Center projects. In addition, we have twice visited the Water Park facility, met with staff, and examined the installed audio system in detail. We have a good understanding of the Water Park’s needs in regards to your RFQ, and are well -informed about most visible installation challenges.

RFQ
The City of Antioch (“City”) invites qualified candidates to submit proposals from experienced audiovisual consulting firms to provide professional services for a complete renovation of the sound system at the Antioch Water Park. The renovation will be a d esign-build project and shall include evaluation, design, installation, and oversight of system upgrades.

PROPOSAL – SCOPE OF WORK
Quality Sound shall perform a complete renovation of the Sound System at Antioch Water Park in two phases; PHASE 1 shall include replacement of the sound system head -end and control system, as well as creation of a new stand-alone audiovisual system for the Multipurpose Room.

Once the new head-end is operational, all sound system loudspeakers (approximately 64 interior and 70 exterior) shall be evaluated, and a report on operable condition delivered.

PHASE 2 shall include replacement of all exterior loudspeakers. Interior loudspeaker upgrades and/or replacement options shall be discussed, with any elective changes performed under a separate scope of work.

In the Data Room, Quality Sound shall provide (furnish and install) a new LOWELL 16RU sectional steel wall rack; this rack shall contain the entire head-end for the water park and interior spaces (not including the Multipurpose Room). Equipment shall inclu de three (3) POWERSOFT high - efficiency multichannel power amplifiers, a SYMETRIX Dante -enabled digital signal processor (DSP), LUXEL network switch, EXTRON control system processor, and FURMAN AC power sequencing system. Space shall be reserved for integra tion of an (owner -furnished) network streaming appliance for subscription background music service. All open rack spaces shall be closed with blank panels. Approved AC power to this rack as well as required conduits shall be provided by others.

At the Front Desk/Counter area, a SYMETRIX Bluetooth/3.5mm line level receiver/interface shall be installed to permit alternate music to be injected into the system from that location. Also at this counter will be a SHURE press -to-talk wand condenser microphone for announcement purposes. Beside this paging microphone will be a multifunction EXTRON 10" color touchscreen, custom programmed to allow All-Call (the default) or zone-specific paging (five (5) interior zones, plus six (6) exterior zones) The touch screen shall also afford system power control and source select/volume adjustment of background music. A second SHURE push-to-talk wand condenser microphone shall be installed in the alternate location for All -Call announcement. All existing interior distributed paging/BGM loudspeakers shall remain.

PHASE 1 Scope of Work - Multipurpose Room System
A stand-alone audiovisual presentation system shall be provided for the Multipurpose Room. All MPR loudspeakers shall remain; all existing input plates and control panels shall be removed and covered with blank panels. A new LOWELL sectional steel wall rac k shall be installed in storage room 105. This rack shall contain all head -end components for the MPR, including an EXTRON audiovisual matrix switcher/control system processor, SHURE dual -channel digital UHF wireless receiver, POWERSOFT four-channel power amplifier, FURMAN AC power sequencer and other small components.

The wireless system shall include two (2) hand -held mic transmitters; both shall include L -Ion rechargeable battery packs, and a drop-in charger dock shall provide always-ready performance.

At each end of the room, beneath the lower ceiling a PHILLIPS 98" commercial flat-panel display shall be installed on a CHIEF heavy-duty articulating wall mount; this will permit the display to be folded flat against the wall or rotated out to face the various audience configurations required.

Below each display, an EXTRON active HDMI interface shall be installed, and beside the West display, an EXTRON 7" color touchscreen shall be installed. Near t his touchscreen, an RDL Bluetooth/3.5mm interface shall permit connection of a smartphone or other local music source.

The touchscreen shall allow power control and selection of input source for each display, selection and volume control of "building -wide" background music or local Bluetooth/Aux music source, and zoned speaker volume. The MPR's low and high ceilinged loudspeakers shall all be separately driven and controllable for best room balance.

Both systems shall be completely installed, programmed and commissioned, An In -Service orientation session shall be conducted, and a custom -authored QuickStart guide presented to acquaint staff with operation and maintenance of the new systems. ONE YEAR warranty on new materials and workmanship (existing equipment excluded).

PHASE 2 PROPOSAL - WATER PARK LOUDSPEAKERS
In our view, it is highly likely that few of the OWI exterior loudspeakers in the Water Park will be found to be suitable for continued use. The many years of exposure to the elements have taken their toll on this equipment, which in our opinion would be i nadequate to meet today’s performance standards even in good condition. Our recommendation (pending the speaker evaluation work quoted under PHASE 1) is that all 70 of the old speakers be replaced with new equipment better suited for the park’s current and future needs.

If accepted, the PHASE 2 Loudspeaker replacement shall include demolition of all existing OWI loudspeakers and mounting hardware; old equipment shall be turned over to the city for disposal.

Existing loudspeaker wire to each speaker location shall be retained, and new weatherproof gang plates with cable glands and direct exposure plate -to-speaker jumper wire shall be installed for long-term reliability.

Each speaker location shall be provided with a new COMMUNITY high -performance, weatherproof loudspeaker (6.5” coaxial) unit, installed using factory -engineered brackets and stainless steel banding. All 70 locations shall be tested and the system fully commissioned for best performance.

PHASE 2 PROPOSAL - INTERIOR LOUDSPEAKERS
Any or all of the building’s interior paging/background music (BGM) loudspeakers, having first been tested and evaluated per PHASE 1, may be replaced at the discretion of the City. Interior loudspeakers do not suffer the environmental degradation typical of exterior loudspeakers; most of the facility’s interior speakers appear to be in good condition and are likely to be usable for some time. If the city elects that some or all of the interior loudspeakers should be replaced, Quality Sound will provide a qu otation based on the type of loudspeaker desired. All of the existing interior speakers appear to be generic 8” flush -mounted units typical of paging/distributed BGM applications, but there might be a desire for upgraded, more music - oriented type units in some locations. At present, we are not proposing any work or materials for interior loudspeakers in PHASE 2. This is due to the availability of several potential solutions, which necessitates additional discussion to determine the best course of action.

1 2024 ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE REPORT

Introduction

On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified as Chapter 12.8 of the California Government Code) requiring law enforcement agencies to have a military equipment use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding, acquiring or using items that it defined as military equipment. Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.

On May 24, 2022, the Antioch City Council approved Ordinance 2213-C-S, approving Antioch Police Department Policy #706: Military Equipment Use Policy. On September 10, 2024, the Antioch City Council accepted the APD Military Equipment Report for 202 3 and approved the continued use of that equipment.

As required by Assembly Bill 481 and the Ordinance, annually , the Antioch Police Department must prepare a report on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the Policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy and Annual Report, and determine whether the Department’s use of the defined military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, take action (by ordinance) to modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance.

As the Policy outlines, the Antioch Police Department retains and employs limited equipment that falls under this legislation and subsequent law to safeguard its community. Antioch Police Department officers, certified instructional staff, and specialized units receive training throughout the year on the use of this equipment approved under the Policy.

This annual report outlines the Antioch Police Department’s military equipment inventory and usage and community complaints over the use of military equipment from January 1, 2024 , through December 31, 2024 . It also outlines the proposed purchase of new and/or replacement equipment during 2025. In the future, the Department will submit its Military Equipment Annual Report to the City Council in May of each year in compliance with AB481.

Antioch Police Department Military Use Policy (706)

Antioch Police Department’s Military Use Policy (706) requires the Police Department to present an annual report to the City Council. The annual report, as mandated by Government Code sections 7071 & 7072, requires the police department to present the following:

1. A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.

2. A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.

3 The man was uncooperative and would not comply with orders to vacate the residence in violation of a court order. Utilizing the Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones), the officers were able to confirm the man was armed with the knife and barricaded in the bathroom. After an 8- hour standoff, officers deployed chemical agents to get the man to exit the bathroom. When the man, exited he was still armed with a knife. The officers deployed a less -lethal kinetic energy projectile that shot a sponge round at the man’s abdomen. The sponge round had the desired effect, and the man was taken into custody.

Type of Military Equipment Used: Armored Rescue Vehicle, Unmanned Aerial Systems, and Mobile Command Center. Precision Rifles and appropriate ammunition were deployed but not fired during this operation. Additionally, noise and flash distraction devices and munitions containing tear gas and OC (oleoresin capsicum) were deployed during this operation.

APD Case # 24-31296
December 28, 2024

Summary of Incident: The Antioch Police Department SWAT Team was activated, from an initial patrol response for a reported armed barricaded subject. Officers responded to a domestic violence incident, where a man was reported to have shot at his child’s mother in front of the residence. Upon the officers’ arrival, it was believed the man was barricaded inside the home. Utilizing the Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones), officers maintained visual of the home. Officers deployed noise- flash diversionary devises as they breached the front door. The residence was searched by officers and the suspect was not located. The man was apprehended by officers the following day, after a vehicle pursuit concluded.

In addition to the two incidents listed above, officers used Unmanned Aerial Systems ( drones) numerous times on various calls throughout the year.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

DATE: Regular Meeting of August 26, 2025

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

SUBMITTED BY: Joe Vigil, Police Chief

APPROVED BY: Bessie M. Scott, City Manager

SUBJECT: Five-Year Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for Police Department Technology Hardware and Software Services

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a five -year agreement with Axon Enterprises Inc. to purchase Axon Enterprise, Inc. hardware and operating system software from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2030, and authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchasing agreement with Axon Enterprises Inc. not to exceed $2,908,607.30 over the five-year period.

FISCAL IMPACT
The first year of the contract is $583,577.44 and $581,257.48 for the following four years.

The total expenditure over the five-year contract period will be $2,908,607.30 for the Axon hardware and software.

1. Year one cost - $583,577.44

2. Year two cost - $581,257.48

3. Year three cost - $581,257.48

4. Year four cost - $581,257.48

5. Year five cost - $581,257.48

The amount for year one of the contract is fully funded through the existing appropriations in the FY 25/26 Police Department budget. No additional General Fund Appropriation is required.

BACKGROUND

Police body worn and in -car cameras manufactured by Axon have been a part of the Antioch Police Department since March of 2021. This technology is vital to the safety of police officers and the community. This equipment is also vital to maintaining community Antioch City Council Report
August 26, 2025, Agenda Item #6 2
trust and transparency. Body worn and in -car camera technology enhances safety by providing a layer of documentation for events, actions, and interaction with community members. All Sworn staff and professional staff who engage with the community are outfitted with body worn cameras. All patrol vehicles are outfitted with in -car cameras.

This equipment is nearing or has exceeded their expected lifespan and the technology available for both has improved significantly in recent years.

The Antioch Police Department has utilized the Axon X26 tasers since 2008. A taser is a conductive energy device used as a self -defense tool and is relied upon by officers to overcome resistance presented by violent or combative subjects. The Antioch Police Departments tasers have exceeded their expected lifesp an and have become obsolete.

Tasers remain a valuable, non -lethal option for officers to safely apprehend suspects while protecting the community.

The Antioch Police Department also uses Evidence.com for media and data storage, which is owned and operated by Axon Enterprises. Beyond the platform seamlessly integrating with the Departments camera program, it safely and securely stores information, communicates information with the Departments dispatch system, and the District Attorney’s Office which all contribute to staff efficiency.

In evaluating the needs of the Department and reviewing the current Axon contract, consolidation of the Departments needs into the current contract would far exceed the cost of renewing a five-year agreement.

DISCUSSION

In 2021 the City of Antioch Police Department entered contract with Axon Enterprises Inc to deploy and utilize body worn cameras for staff and in-car cameras for patrol vehicles.

This contract was for a term of 5 years, ending in September 2026. At the time this contract was approved by City Council, there were several technological features the city could not take advantage of. Additionally, since the city entered contract with Axon, Axon has released numerous additional features related to advanced per sonnel training and allowing for more community interaction.

In 2008 the Antioch Police Department purchased the X26 tasers from Axon. In 2013, there was an update to the newest taser model at the time. Since the 2013 purchase, these tasers have not been replaced. This model being used is now obsolete and has since gone through several generational changes, increasing the technological capacity of the devices.

Beyond the camera equipment and tasers being outdated, staff have faced challenges with the interview room equipment in the police department used to video and audio record statements during interviews. This equipment , cameras and audio recording devices, are at their end of life and not dependable, or integrated with Evidence.com for efficient storage.

Although the in-car cameras installed in 2021 have proven to be extremely valuable, the city was not able to take full advantage of their technological capability . The in -car Antioch City Council Report
August 26, 2025, Agenda Item #6 3
cameras can also serve as license plate readers. This tool and force multiplier aids in investigations such as identifying stolen vehicles and vehicles involved with missing persons.

While assessing the immediate needs of the Department such as updated tasers, interview room recording capability /equipment, and enhancing the in-car camera capability, staff obtained preliminary cost estimates from Axon. The estimates exceeded $740,000 per year to incorporate these items, which included the last year of the current contract ($250,392.69).

Due to Axon bundling the interconnecting technology packages, it was prudent to discuss renewing the agreement. This proved most cost effective to incorporate this technology, replace outdated equipment, and include other features that are now available related to community interaction and staff training.

Police Department staff entered discussions with Axon representatives and attended several events to examine what technology would best suit the Department and community. Axon offers a cutting-edge Officer Safety Plan package that incorporates cameras, bundle hardware, software, accessories, training, customer support, equipment refreshes/replacements, and warranties . Through these discussions along with examining and testing the products, the highlights of the current proposal include -

• 120 New Body Worn Cameras for Staff. The agreement provides new cameras at execution of agreement, along with 30- and 60-month replacements with latest version.
• 105 Taser 10’s . Included is c ontract length Warranty, training provided, and consumables.
• Evidence.com accounts for all users. Additional accounts are provided for US DOJ MOA compliance.
• 49 Fleet 3 In car camera systems with Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR).

New Fleet hardware, full contract length warranty, unlimited storage, new routers, installation by Axon. Includes Axon Signal for automatic activation of Axon cameras based on triggers (crash, speed, lightbar, gun rack, etc.) • 5 Interview Room Recording Systems. All new video and audio equipment to include installation. Allows for direct uploading of media into Evidence.com. • Axon Performance . This is an a udit dashboard used for policy compliance .

Improves workflow for auditing and monitoring procedures. • Fusus- Real Time Crime Center Platform. This allows bringing various law enforcement tools such as community cameras and Shot Spotter into one platform for staff use. It encompasses hardware, professional services, and training. Up to 150 inputs.

Antioch City Council Report
August 26, 2025, Agenda Item #6 4
• Virtual Reality Training- Virtual de -escalation training for officers. This training equipment allows the Department to train officers on site in the latest de-escalation practices.
• Signal Sidearm. This is a holster sensor that automatically turns on Axon cameras when officers draw their firearm.
• Auto-Tagging. Automatically correlates video with incident/dispatch information , which saves staff time.
• Community Request. Enables officers to collect digital evidence by sending links to community members. Community members can upload videos, photos, and other media.
• Fusus+. This program enables GPS capability, Live-Steaming, 2 -way communication and alerts for body worn cameras.
• Redaction Assistant - Artificial Intelligence t ools to streamline video/audio redactions, which can be extremely time-consuming for staff. Allows and performs blurring of faces and other non-releasable information.

As part of this agreement and wanting to partner with the City of Antioch and the Police Department, Axon will be providing eight (8) Lightpost Situational Awareness/Automated License Plate Reader Cameras. These cameras, which are placed on fixed streetlight standards, have proven to provide valuable investigative information. The eight (8) cameras will be at no cost for the duration of the 5-year agreement.

As outlined above, continuing advancements in this area of technology have left much of what the Department uses outdated. Entering into an agreement such as this allows the Department to have the latest model of body cameras as refreshing this equipment is part of the package.

Sole source justification for Axon Enterprises Inc. is requested and based on the following facts and circumstances:

Axon Industries is the only company that offers this equipment with these capabilities , seamlessly interconnects, and is currently the industry standard. The storage platform, Evidence.com, is widely used by other law enforcement agencies, integrates with other police department databases, and is used by the District Attorney’s Office along with other attorney’s staff interact with on a regular basis. Axon cameras are one-of-a-kind and not sold through distributors, the manufacturer is the exclusive distributor.
