STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of August 11, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Nicole Baptista, Senior Administrative Assistant
APPROVED BY: Ana Cortez, Acting City Manager
AEC
SUBJECT: Designation of a Voting Delegate and Alternate Delegate for the League of California Cities Annual Conference and Authorization for Associated Conference Expenses Not to Exceed $2, 600 per Participant.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council appoint a Voting Delegate and Alternate Delegate for the 2026 League of California Cities Annual Conference. It is further recommended that the Council authorize the associated conference expenses for one participant in an amount not to exceed $2,600.
FISCAL IMPACT
The League of California Cities Annual Conference is being held at the Anaheim Convention Center from September 23rd through the 25th. The registration, hotel, accommodations, and flight for one participant estimated total cost is $2,600 (registration, flight, per diem, and hotel accommodations). Amount is to come from the City Council Conferences/Dues Budget.
DISCUSSION
The League’s 2026 Annual Conference is scheduled for September 23rd through the 25th at the Anaheim Convention Center. An important part of the Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting (during the General Assembly), scheduled for September 25, 2026. At that meeting the league membership considers and acts on resolutions that establish League policy.
Antioch City Council Report
August 11, 2026 Agenda Item 7 2
To vote at the Annual Business Meeting, the City Council must designate a Voting Member. The City may also appoint up to two alternate Voting Delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity.
The attached Voting Delegate form must be completed and returned to the League’s office no later than Tuesday September 1, 2026. This allows the League’s office time to reestablish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference.

RE: D
ESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 23-25, 2026 Anaheim Convention Center
Ev
ery year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Tak
ing place on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To ca
st a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Act
ion by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Fol
lowing council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Su
bmitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Con

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a member-
informed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of August 11, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Shahad Wright, Parks and Recreation Director APPROVED BY: Ana Cortez, Acting City Manager AEC
SUBJECT: City Council D iscussion Item: Selection of Potential Park Location for Upcoming Available Grant Funding Through Proposition 4
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council discuss the proposed park site options and provide direction to staff regarding the location that best aligns with the grant program requirements and project objectives.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommended action has no direct fiscal impact at this time.
BACKGROUND
Proposition 4 is a California bond measure, approved by voters in November 2024, that provides $10 billion to address the impacts of climate change, including $700 million for parks and recreational projects. This park funding will be used for the expansi on of recreational activities, construction and renovation of local parks, repairing existing state parks, addressing deferred maintenance backlogs and enhancing public access to nature.
The California Department of State Parks, Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS), will be administering a competitive grant funded by Proposition 4 in the next 12 -18 months. This is the same agency that administered Proposition 68 grant funds, of whic h Antioch received a $2.9M grant for the renovation of Contra Loma Estates Park.
It is anticipated that OGALS will use a similar application process as was used previously for Prop 68. An important component of the application is demonstrating community engagement in developing the application and proposal.
The grant will require that there be less than 3 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents and/or residents are below median income within a ½ mile radius of a selected point within SZW

the project site. It is also a requirement that public meetings on the potential project are held prior to the grant application being submitted.
DISCUSSION
At the Parks and Recreation Commission Regular Meeting of February 19, 2026, the Commission discussed an anticipated grant opportunity through Proposition 4 to develop or renovate a park within the City of Antioch. During that meeting, the Commission was provided with an overview of the grant program requirements, eligibility criteria, and the Community Fact Finder tool https://www.parksforcalifornia.org/communities/ which assists agencies in determining project eligibility and priority status for grant funding.
Since that meeting, staff conducted a preliminary evaluation of potential project sites and narrowed the focus of the Proposition 4 grant opportunity to two locations: City Park and the Beede Lumber Yard site.
City Park was last significantly renovated more than 20 years ago and continues to serve as one of Antioch’s most heavily utilized park facilities. According to Placer.ai visitation data, City Park ranks as the City’s most visited park. The site presents an opportunity for a transformational community investment that could include improvements such as a synthetic turf field, an all -inclusive playground, renovated and fully operational restroom facilities, pickleball courts, enhanced gathering spaces, and other recreational amenities.
Due to its central location, City Park also has the potential to generate income from user groups and continue to be a community hub.
The Beede Lumber Yard site is currently an undeveloped property located in Downtown Antioch. Preliminary community outreach and conceptual renderings for a future park at this location were completed in 2024. Development of the site would create a new public park and gathering space in the downtown area, further supporting community activation, recreation opportunities, and economic vitality.
While development of a new park at the Beede Lumber Yard site would result in additional annual maintenance and operational costs estimated between $200,000 and $250,000, public spaces in downtown areas can provide broader economic and community benefits by attracting visitors, supporting local businesses, and creating a “third place” for residents to gather outside of home and work.
Both locations appear to meet the preliminary eligibility requirements of the Proposition 4 grant program and present significant opportunities to expand recreational amenities and enhance quality of life for Antioch residents. Staff is seeking City Counci l direction regarding which project site should be advanced for further evaluation, community engagement, conceptual design, and grant application development.

MEMORANDUM

ate: April 21, 2026
S
ubject: State Parks Program: Competitive Park Selection Criteria for the City of Antioch
The
Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) is a grant program that creates new parks and recreation opportunities in underserved communities across California. Preparing a competitive application for this program requires careful project planning to meet the specific goals and priorities of SPP . Applicants can only include one park in their project, and selecting a project site that meets and exceeds the Project Selection Criteria is an important factor in developing a competitive application.
B
ased on previous rounds of SPP funding and ongoing conversations with the California Department of Parks and Recreation, TPA anticipates that the upcoming round of SPP will include the following Project Selection Criteria:
• Critical lack of park space. Priority is given to projects that have the lowest ratio of park space. Project sites must be located in an area with less than 3 park acres per 1,000
r
esidents to be eligible, with more points awarded to project sites that have the lowest park space compared to all applications.
• S
ignificant poverty. Priority is given to projects that are in areas with significant poverty.
P
roject sites must be located in an area with an average median household income less than $77,000 to be eligible, with more points awarded to project sites that have the lowest median household income compared to all applications.
1 In addition, more points ar e
aw
arded to project sites in close proximity to disadvantaged and severely disadvant aged c
ommunities.
1 The estimate that median household income at the project site will need to be $77,000 or less was provided verbally during a meeting with the California Department of Parks and Recreation. This estimate may change in the official grant program guidelines, once they are published. $77$&+0(176'
TPA met with the City of Antioch’s Public Works and Parks & Recreation departments to discuss potential project sites for SPP . Based on this criteria, we recommend selecting Antioch City Park for the City’s SPP application.
City Park is a very competitive selection due to the following:
• Critical lack of park space. City Park is in an area with 0.85 park acres per 1,000 residents. This meets the eligibility criteria and would likely receive additional points for being lower than other applications.
• Significant poverty. City Park is in an area with a medium income of $60,553. It is also located in a severely disadvantaged community and directly bordered by a disadvantaged community. This meets the eligibility criteria and would likely receive additional points for demonstrating higher levels of significant poverty than other applications.
City Park is definitively the most competitive project site across both selection criteria (lack of park space and significant poverty). While TPA and the City of Antioch considered multiple potential project sites, other options that were able to demonstrate significant poverty were less competitive in terms of park space, primarily due to their proximity to Corteva Wetlands Preserve and other large preservation areas.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of August 11, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Nicole Baptista, Senior Administrative Assistant
APPROVED BY: Ana Cortez, Acting City Manager AEC
SUBJECT: Discussion of Downtown Security Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council discuss Downtown Security Services and provide direction to staff on how to proceed.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact of the discussion surrounding downtown security services.
Should Council direct that the City resume security services and issue a request for proposal, the City Manager’s General Fund budget includes $102,500 for services, based on the pricing of the prior contract.
DISCUSSION
In December 2022, in response to increasing concerns from Rivertown/Downtown business owners and visitors regarding criminal activity and quality of life issues occurring in and around City-owned public parking lots, the City Council directed staff to evaluate options to improve public safety and security in the area. One key strategy identified was the deployment of private security services to act as a visible deterrent, identify safety issues, monitor City-owned properties and promptly report incidents and safety concerns to the Antioch Police Department.
Following a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process, the City selected Shield Protection & Public Safety, Inc., DBA Spearhead Protection, as the most qualified provider. The City entered into a professional services agreement with Spearhead Protection for services from January 9, 2024 through June 30, 2025 in the not-to-exceed amount of $100,068.
On April 23 , 202 5, t he City executed a first amend ed agreement, increasing the compensation by $ 49,932. On May 27, 2025, the City executed a second amended Antioch City Council Report
August 11, 2026, 2026 Agenda Item 9 2
agreement (mislabeled as a first amendment), extending services through June 30, 2026, and increasing compensation to the not-to-exceed amount of $100,000.
The previous contract provided security coverage seven days a week, including holidays, between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and midnight. Services include regular patrols of nine designated locations in the Rivertown/Downtown area by a uniformed guard in a marked security vehicle. A map of the nine locations is shown on page 18 of the prior RFQ in Attachment A and also enlarged in Attachment B.
On June 23, 2026, a third amendment to the original contract went before City Council.
City Council did not approve the third amendment and requested that a discussion take place to determine the need for security services. As of July 1, 2026 , the City of Antioch does not have additional downtown security services.
Staff asks that the City Council to discuss and determine next steps for downtown security services, including a potential RFQ issuance.

BACKGROUND
Antioch has a history that starts before California became a state. The area was originally settled in the late summer of 1850 and incorporated as a City in 1872. Located on the banks of the San Joaquin
City of Antioch | City Manager’s Office
Request for Qualifications – Private Security Services
River and being the second largest City in Contra Costa County with a population of over 115,000; the City offers endless outdoor activities and is a thriving business hub.
Families with dreams of homeownership come to Antioch for its beautiful neighborhoods, parks, and natural beauty. Land remains plentiful and affordable, compared with other parts of the Bay Area. Antioch is one of the few Bay Area communities that offers naturally affordable housing. The pace of development in Antioch has spurred activity for the healthcare industry, financial and insurance institutions, contractors, and other types of businesses. Increased development has created increased employment in schools, hospitals, and other local service sectors. Bringing quality jobs to Antioch is one of the City Council and Communities priorities.
The City of Antioch was incorporated in February 1872 as a General Law City and operates under a Council-Manager form of government. Policymaking and legislative authority is vested in a five- member City Council consisting of a Mayor and four Council Members. The four Council Members are elected to four-year overlapping terms. The Mayor is directly elected to a four-year term. The Council appoints the City Manager, City Attorney, and members of advisory committees.
Antioch is a community that is proud of its heritage; a community that provides an opportunity to live, learn, work, worship and play in a safe, stimulating, and diverse community; a community that is a responsible steward of its economic and natural resources; a community that recognizes its responsibility to the vast Delta Region, and will be a pro-active advocate and a leader in promoting regional cooperation.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The objective of this Request for Qualification (RFQ) process is to establish a list of qualified private patrol security service providers to provide private patrol security services for City-owned public parking lots located in Downtown Antioch. A map of these facilities is attached. The patrol is expected to be actively engaged in patrol from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am daily.
The consultant or the City may propose additional tasks as deemed necessary to complete the assignments. Any additional work shall be compensated as agreed upon in the consultant’s contract with the City.
