Antioch City Council Report
April 14, 2026 Agenda Item # 8 2

The Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a California non-profit public benefit corporation (the “Foundation”), acts as the Board of Directors for the CMFA. Through its conduit issuance activities, the CMFA shares a portion of the issuance fees it receives with its member communities and donates a portion of these issuance fees to the Foundation for the support of local charities. With respect to the City of Antioch, it is expected that a portion of the issuance fee attributable to the City will be granted by the CMFA to the General Fund of the City. Such grant may be used for any lawful purpose of the City.

DISCUSSION

Background

The Borrower requested that the California Municipal Finance Authority (“CMFA”) serve as the municipal issuer of b onds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000 of tax-exempt revenue bonds (the “Bonds”). The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to: (1) finance or refinance the acquisition, construction, improvement , and equipping of the Project (APNs 072-510-005-1, 072-510-006-9, 072-510-007-7, 072-510- 008-5); and (2) pay certain expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds.

In order for all or a portion of the Bonds to qualify as tax-exempt bonds, the City of Antioch must conduct a public hearing (the “TEFRA Hearing”) providing for the members of the community an opportunity to speak in favor of or against the use of tax-exempt bonds for the financing of the Project. Prior to such TEFRA Hearing, reasonable notice must be provided to the members of the community. A public hearing notice was published in the East County Times on March 31, 2026. Following the close of the TEFRA Hearing, an “applicable elected representative” of the governmental unit hosting the Project must provide its approval of the issuance of the Bonds for the financing of the Project.

California Municipal Finance Authority

The CMFA was created on January 1, 2004, pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement to promote economic, cultural and community development, through the financing of economic development and charitable activities throughout California. To date, over 350 municipalities have become members of CMFA.

The CMFA was formed to assist local governments, non- profit organizations and businesses with the issuance of taxable and tax -exempt bonds aimed at improving the standard of living in California. The CMFA’s representatives and its Board of Directors have considerable experience in bond financing.

For its members, CMFA serves as the
conduit issuer and provides access to an efficient mechanism to finance locally-approved projects.

Antioch City Council Report

Addendum to application for APOC

It is that time in my life for me to start contributing to the community as my father did, in a diﬀerent city, many years ago. I am applying for 3 open positions, so this document will be ﬁled for each, with slight diﬀerences speciﬁc to the opening.

I have attached my resume, but although it doesn’t speak to community service, as an IT security professional, I have a long life of experience that I feel can help beneﬁt the city and residents of Antioch. I have held leadership positions and managed large groups, mentored many and have been a technical instructor for over a decade.

I believe strongly in the rule of law, and want to help Antioch overcome its recent issues within the police force and help assist the police force in being able to reduce crime while simultaneously making sure that the oversight roles help to keep the city free from potential ongoing issues. Antioch can do better, and I want to contribute to helping it do so.

I have no contacts within the Antioch PD.

Feel free to contact me with additional questions.

Thank you
Jim Thor

Responses to additional questions.

1. I am interested in appointment to the Police Oversight Committee because I am interested in helping foster a police department that is reflective and representative of the community we serve. Additionally, I believe that while public safety has been seen in some arenas as more negative than positive, I do feel that it is an essential service for our community and that we must adhere to federally mandated standards which govern our police department. Lastly, the quality of our police department and its services provided need to be first rate, while adhering to the standards of performance outlined by the outcomes of criminal proceedings that affected former Antioch police officers. We should expect the best and receive the best and this commission can have a part in this outcome.

2. I have built a reputation of empathy and service to others professionally as a Wealth Advisor and in my community service as a City Councilperson from 1995 (appointed to a vacancy) and elected in 1996.

I have a track record of success in working with the community, fellow elected and appointed representatives, and built a reputation of finding unique solutions in the environment of local government.

3. I have had numerous experiences with the Antioch Police Department, reporting abandoned vehicles near my home, suspicious activity in my neighborhood and reporting vehicle accidents as a witness.

4. I would be honored to apply the knowledge and experience I have in serving this commission. We can do better and we should expect and get the best from our public safety people.

Respectfully submitted

Describe your community involvement and explain why you are interested in serving on the General Plan Advisory Committee.

I have been an engaged resident of Antioch who values civic participation, thoughtful planning, and community-driven decision-making. I regularly stay informed on City matters, attend public meetings when possible, and follow local initiatives that impact housing, infrastructure, and neighborhood quality of life. I believe that strong communities are built when residents take an active role in shaping long-term policy rather than reacting to short-term changes.

My professional background in Information Technology has required me to work across departments, analyze complex systems, and focus on long-term strategic planning. These skills translate well into understanding how land use, infrastructure, utilities, and public services must function together as an integrated system.

What are your perspectives on the General Plan Update, and why do you believe you would be a valuable asset to the General Plan Advisory Committee? The General Plan Update should focus on sustainable growth, infrastructure alignment, fiscal responsibility, and quality of life. Antioch is at a pivotal stage where decisions made now will shape the City's character for decades. Growth is inevitable, but how that growth is planned and integrated is what matters most.

Key priorities I believe the update should address include:

General Plan Advisory Committee Information
General Plan Advisory Committee Information
This memo provides information for persons interested in being appointed to the Antioch General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC).

Introduction
The City of Antioch has embarked on a multi-year process to update its General Plan. The Antioch General Plan is the City's overarching policy guidance document and provides direction on a myriad of topics such as land use, housing, transportation, economic development, resource conservation, community health, parks, and open space.

The City of Antioch has hired a professional planning consulting firm, De Novo Planning Group, to assist the City with its General Plan Update. The City Council will also form a General Plan Advisory Committee (GPA() to assist with preparation of the General Plan Update.

The GPAC will serve as one of the primary channels for the community to provide input and make recommendations on the General Plan Update. Participation by members appointed to the GPAC is temporary; the roles and responsibilities of its members will terminate with City Council adoption of the General Plan.

The charge of the GPAC is to:

1. Ensure City staff and the consultant team are aware of and understand community concerns, values and expectations.

2. Assist City staff and the consultant team in identifying critical issues that should be addressed in the planning process.

3. Identify areas of existing or potential conflicts and find ways to constructively resolve them.

4. Capitalize on the creative ideas and insights within the Antioch community for input into the General Plan.

5. Keep community organizations and interested citizens informed about the status of the planning process.

6. Provide recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council supporting the General Plan.

The City Council intends to form a GPAC that represents a cross-section of the community, including residents and neighborhood groups, the business community, civic organizations, community-based organizations, development interests, and resource conservation interests. By B14

General Plan Advisory Committee Information
ensuring that these groups are represented on the GPAC, the City of Antioch can be confident that a diverse range of viewpoints and interest areas will be considered as part of the General Plan Update process, ultimately resulting in a contemporary General Plan that best represents the community's vision for the future.

G PAC Formation and Expectations
• Seven GPAC members from the general public (5 regular and 2 alternate) will be appointed by the City Council, with appointments anticipated to occur in March 2026. The committee will also include two City Council members and two Planning Commissioners. • The GPAC will meet up to a maximum of 12 times over the course of approximately 18 months. Meetings will generally occur once per month, but there may be months when no meetings are held.
• The first GPAC meeting is anticipated to be held in April 2026, and meetings will run through late 2027. At the first meeting staff will recommend a regular meeting date for the GPAC which will likely be either the first Tuesday or first Thursday of the month. • GPAC meetings will primarily be in-person evening meetings at City Hall, and will likely last 2-3 hours.
• GPAC members will be provided with agendas and reading materials prior to each meeting, and will be expected to attend all meetings prepared to discuss the topics identified on the agenda. Reading materials for each meeting may be 50 pages or more (including maps, tables, and graphics) and will include materials from the General Plan Existing Conditions Report, the General Plan community outreach results, and portions of the City's existing General Plan.
• Meetings will be facilitated by City staff and the consultant team, and the GPAC will operate in the spirit of consensus. There will not be roll-call votes, and differing points of view will be recorded and presented to the City Council. The meetings will be structured as roundtable discussions, with defined opportunities for members of the public to provide com merits.
• Regardless of the individual background or professional affiliation of a GPAC member, all members will be expected to participate in all meetings and provide input and feedback on all topics presented to the GPAC for discussion. The City is looking for full participants, not just individuals advocating for, or interested in, a single issue or topic. • GPAC meetings are generally anticipated to follow the following structure and address the following topics:

General Plan Advisory Committee Information
o The first meeting will provide an overview of the GPAC's role, information on requirements for General Plans, a summary of feedback received to date from the community, and a discussion of high-level goals, priorities, and challenges for the Antioch community.
o The following 3-4 meetings will focus primarily on the topic of land use. The GPAC will discuss and provide input on growth patterns, development type, density, land use map changes, and other similar land use-related topics. The intent will be to develop a working draft of the updated Land Use Map with corresponding designations and densities.
o The subsequent 5-6 meetings will focus on other topics and issues covered under the General Plan, such as traffic/mobility, economic development community health and wellness, utilities and public services, etc. Many of these topics overlap with land use, and with each other.
o The final two meetings will provide GPAC members with an opportunity to review and provide input on the entire Draft General Plan document prior to it being released for public review and comment.
• There will be several community workshops and public meetings held throughout the General Plan Update process, and GPAC members are encouraged to attend as many of these as possible.

Antioch is experiencing rapid growth, increased housing demand, and infrastructure strain, particularly along the Highway 4 corridor. A strong General Plan Update must balance residential expansion with economic development, transportation improvements, and neighborhood stability.

My perspective is that growth must be intentional. Adding housing without strengthening local job opportunities, childcare access, commercial revitalization, and infrastructure capacity places added pressure on working families. Antioch needs workforce housing pathways, support for small businesses, improved walkability, and strategic commercial development that reduces long commutes and keeps economic activity within the city.

General Plan Advisory Committee
I am an Antioch resident actively engaged in community awareness, public dialogue, and civic participation. Through my professional work in healthcare operations and quality improvement, I collaborate with physicians, medical practices, and community stakeholders to improve access to care, population health outcomes, and service delivery systems that directly impact local residents.

Beyond my professional role, I closely follow local development issues, city planning discussions, public safety concerns, and economic growth initiatives affecting Antioch and East Contra Costa County. I have participated in public forums, community discussions, and local meetings where topics such as infrastructure, housing growth, and resource allocation are addressed.

I am interested in serving on the General Plan Advisory Committee because I believe thoughtful planning today shapes the livability, safety, and economic opportunity of Antioch for decades to come. I want to contribute a balanced, data-informed perspective that reflects both resident concerns and long-term sustainability.

Please elaborate and provide specific details related to the selection above:

This work requires collaboration with public programs, private organizations, and community stakeholders. I regularly analyze demographic trends, service gaps, and resource utilization - all of which parallel planning considerations such as population growth, transportation access, and equitable distribution of services.

Additionally, I am deeply interested in economic development, small business sustainability, and ensuring Antioch grows in a way that supports both residents and local enterprises.

1. Describe your community involvement and explain why you are interested in serving the General Plan Advisory Committee.

I am a long-term investor, business owner, and property owner in the City of Antioch. For years, I have committed capital, time, and energy into revitalizing commercial properties and supporting local businesses in the downtown corridor and surrounding areas. My involvement has not been speculative , it has been hands-on, long-term, and community-focused.

I have worked closely with local tenants, contractors, city departments, and public safety personnel to improve the quality and stability of the properties I operate. My approach has always been to strengthen the economic foundation of the area while enhancing the safety, appearance, and long-term viability of the community.

I am interested in serving on the General Plan Advisory Committee because the General Plan is the blueprint for Antioch's future. Land use decisions made today will shape economic growth, housing availability, infrastructure capacity, and overall quality of life for decades. As someone who actively invests and operates within the city, I care deeply about ensuring Antioch's growth is intentional, balanced, and sustainable.

I want to contribute a practical, business-minded perspective grounded in real-world experience, someone who understands what makes projects viable, what attracts quality tenants and employers, and how policy translates into on-the-ground outcomes.

2. Please elaborate and provide specific details related to the section above. What projects in development have you done in the City of Antioch? In Antioch, my work has focused primarily on downtown revitalization and stabilizing underperforming properties.

This has included:
• Acquiring and rehabilitating commercial buildings in the downtown area • Renovating fayades and interiors to attract higher-quality tenants • Improving property management standards to reduce nuisance issues • Partnering with business operators to create stable, service-oriented retail and office uses • Coordinating with city staff and law enforcement to improve safety conditions in and around managed properties
The goal of these projects has not simply been cosmetic improvement, but long-term stabilization, creating environments where responsible businesses can succeed and residents feel comfortable engaging with the area.

B33
Downtown Antioch bas historically faced challenges tied to public safety, vacancy, and deferred maintenance. My approach has been to invest through those challenges rather than step back from them. I believe that responsible ownership, capital improvement, and consistent management are critical to changing trajectory over time.

3. What are your perspectives on the General Plan update and why do you believe you would be a valuable asset to the General Plan Advisory Committee? The General Plan update presents a critical opportunity for Antioch to recalibrate its long-term vision.

From my perspective, several themes are essential:
• Balanced housing growth that aligns with infrastructure capacity and public safety • Economic development policies that attract stable employers and diversify the tax base • Downtown revitalization strategies that encourage walkability, mixed-use vitality, and small business sustainability
• Clear, predictable zoning policies that allow quality developers to invest with confidence Antioch must grow, but it must grow intelligently. Density without infrastructure strains services. Retail without purchasing power struggles. Housing without economic opportunity
creates imbalance. The General Plan should focus on coordinated growth where housing, jobs, safety, and infrastructure move together.

I believe I would be a valuable asset to the Committee because I bring:
• Practical development and property management experience • A long-term ownership mindset rather than short-term speculation • Direct experience navigating entitlement, rehabilitation, and tenant recruitment • An understanding of how policy decisions affect investment decisions Most importantly, I have already demonstrated a willingness to invest in Antioch's future. I am not evaluating the city from the outside, I am actively participating in its improvement.

I represent the idea of creating a community that offers not just attainable housing but also lifestyle opportunities for all people. I would like to serve my community though this process.

What are your perspectives on the General Plan Update, and why do you believe you would be a valuable asset to the General Plan Advisory Committee? I picture this general plan pursuing the goals of reigniting downtown through infill development and a focus on flexible housing types. There needs to be a pursuit to reestablish neighborhood character in the goal of creating safe streets through passive means and increasing foot traffic to bolster sales tax revenue.

I have experience working on various city and county legal documents such as the general pion and understand how to properly incorporate community feedback that will be effective in the finalizing of an impactful document.

1. Describe your community involvement and explain why you are interested in serving on the General Plan Advisory Committee.

I am a proud Antioch resident who has dedicated my life to service - fust to our Country as a United States Army Airborne Military lntelligence Soldier, and then to our community as a Veteran advocate and nonprofit leader.

As President and Founder of Delta Veterans Group (DVG), I have led initiatives that directly impact Antioch's most vulnerable residents, particularly Veterans and their families. Through Stand Down on the Delta, we provide housing assistance, employment support, medical and mental health services, and essential supplies to homeless and at-risk Veterans. This event brings together local government, nonprofits, businesses, and volunteers - demonstrating what Antioch can accomplish when we work together.

I also founded the DVG Antioch Veterans Memorial Banner Program, which honors our local Veterans while strengthening community pride and connection. Additionally, I have been actively involved in memorial redesign efforts, youth engagement, and partnerships with civic organizations throughout the city.

Through my work with the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) - including serving as Department of California Legislative Director and past State Commander- I have extensive experience reviewing policy documents, analyzing legislation, and ensuring that decisions reflect long-term community impact.

I am interested in serving on the GP AC because the General Plan will shape Antioch's future for generations. I want to ensure that growth, housing, economic development, transportation, parks, and community health are approached with balance - honoring our history while planning responsibly for the future.

My guiding belief is simple:

Veterans served their Country- and Veterans serve their Communities.

This committee is another opportunity for me to continue serving Antioch.

2. Which affiliations best describe you? (Select and elaborate) II Community Business
II Organization
II Community Service at-large
II Community Quasi-Public
B62
Elaboration:

Community Service at-large/ Organization:

As President of Delta Veterans Group, I oversee programs that serve hundreds of Antioch residents annually. We coordinate with city officials, Contra Costa County, local nonprofits, and private businesses to provide direct services. Our work intersects with housing, transportation, land use (event permitting and public spaces), parks, and public health- all core components of the General Plan.

CommuDity Business:

Through DVG partnerships with the Antioch Chamber of Commerce, local sponsors, and regional businesses, I have worked to strengthen the relationship between nonprofit initiatives and economic development. Healthy communities require both service infrastruct ure and strong local business ecosystems.

Community Quasi-Public:

Through DAV and legislative advocacy, I regularly work with elected officials, city leadership, state representatives, and federal agencies. I understand public process, open meeting laws, and the importance of transparency and ethical governance ( as noted in the committee requirements under the Brown Act and FPPC obligations ).

My involvement spans grassroots community service and structured public policy - giving me a balanced perspective.

3. What are your perspectives on the General Plan Update, and why would you be a valuable asset?
The General Plan Update is one of the most important planning efforts Antioch will undertake in the next decade. It will determine:
• Where and how housing grows
• How we balance development with open space
• Transportation and mobility infrastructure
• Economic opportunity corridors
• Community wellness, public safety, and access to parks • Long-term sustainability
From reviewing the committee structure and meeting expectations (pages 4--6 ), it is clear the City is seeking full participants who can review complex documents, collaborate constructively, and represent a broad cross-section of the community.

B63
I bring:

1. Long-Term Local Perspective
I have seen Antioch evolve over decades- economically, demographically, and socially. I understand both its challenges and its strengths.

2. Experience with Complex Policy Documents
Through DAV legislative leadership and nonprofit governance, I regularly review 50+ page policy materials, budgets, and legislative proposals. I am prepared for the reading and preparation expectations outlined for GPAC members .

3. Consensus-Oriented Leadership
Stand Down on tbe Delta requires coordinating city staff, county agencies, nonprofits, and volunteers. It demands diplomacy and collaboration - the same consensus-based approach described for GPAC meetings.

4. Community-Centered Development Perspective
Growth must include:
• Housing for working families and Veterans
• Smart density near transit
• Preservation of parks and open space
• Strong infrastructure planning
• Public safety considerations
• Economic vitality
I am not seeking to represent a single issue. I am seeking to represent community balance.

The General Plan should reflect Antioch's identity - a city of opportunity, service, and resilience.

If appointed, I will approach this responsibility with the same commitment I have shown in unfform and in my community leadership roles:

Prepared. Thoughtful. Collaborative. Focused on long-tenn impact B64

Antioch City Council Report
April 14, 2026 Agenda Item #12 2

DISCUSSION
Background
The City operates its own wastewater collection system to serve all sanitary sewer collection needs. The City's collection system does not provide treatment services but instead serves to convey the wastewater via three primary drainage basins. From these basins, the wastewater is transported to a regional wastewater treatment facility operated by Delta Diablo.

The City of Antioch is responsible for maintaining an estimated 317 miles of sanitary sewer system lines, 6,306 manhole structures and approximately 32,396 residential and commercial sewer lateral connections, providing sewer lines to a population of more than 116,000. The City routinely performs maintenance on the system. Maintenance activities include root foaming, manhole rehabilitation, infiltration control, spot repairs and larger trunk line cleaning. Personnel assist in staffing an alternative work shift and 24-hour Stand-by program, responding to emergency after hour calls for service 365 days/year.

The City's last Sewer Rate Study along with associated rates for five fiscal years was adopted in 2021. The rates, fees and charges adopted for this period were designed to provide adequate funding for the Sewer Enterprise and System Improvement funds to develop and maintain the City's wastewater collections infrastructure.

This Sewer Rates Study analyzes the adequacy of the revenues from rates to meet the projected expenditures of Sewer Enterprise funds to determine whether revenues will be adequate to cover operating and maintenance costs as well as needed capital costs and meeting target reserve levels. Sewer Service Charges were developed for the five-year period fiscal year 26/27 through fiscal year 30/31.

Sewer Service Charges - Proposed Rate Structure
Each residential customer category has a different volume of wastewater discharge that reflects differences in indoor water use discharged into the sanitary sewer.

The sewer rate structure has two, unit cost components:

1. A monthly account charge which is the same for all accounts and dwelling units; and

2. A quantity rate for the volume of wastewater discharge. Residential accounts are assigned to one of three categories: single family, multiple family (two, three or four dwelling units) and apartment and mobile homes.

The unit cost components and the volume of wastewater discharge for each residential customer category are used to calculate a different uniform monthly charge for each residential customer category. Monthly charges for individual nonresidential accounts are the sum of the monthly account charge component plus the quantity rate component times the volume of wastewater discharge. The volume of wastewater discharge for nonresidential accounts is equal to metered water use (water use for irrigation or fire protection is not included).

Implementation of the proposed increases requires the City to notify property owners of a public hearing to review proposed increases a minimum of 45 days prior to the public hearing consistent with Proposition 218. The public hearing to consider the sewer service charge adjustments is proposed for June 9, 2026. The public hearing must consider all protests to the proposed sewer service charge adjustments. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council may adopt revised sewer service charge adjustments assuming that the total protests received represent less than the majority of properties.

The notices include the proposed increases for the next five fiscal years. Draft notices are provided for Council approval as Attachment D.

Staff's Recommended Timeline
• April 14, 2026: Council accepts draft report and authorizes mailing of the Proposition 218 Notice of Public Hearing on proposed adjustments and increases to sewer charges.
• June 9, 2026: Council votes on adopting Resolution Authorizing Sewer Rate Increases.
• July 1, 2026: New sewer rates are implemented.

Legislative Context: AB 361 to SB 707
The Brown Act has evolved from a rigid "traditional" model requiring remote members to open their private locations to the public into a modernized hybrid framework that prioritizes digital accessibility. This transition, shaped by pandemic-era emergency rules, culminates in the 2026 standards under SB 707.
