• Seed money for low-cost housing strategies
• Grant applications and management support including identifying new grant opportunities
• Local support for priority funding permanent housing projects considers pooling with the cities
• Explore other revenue generating opportunities to fund strategic plan activities (for example, bond measures, permit fees, etc.).
8. Seek city and County funding for:
• Local support for priority permanent housing projects serving low-income and very low-income households
• Outreach services specific to the community
• Financial and operational support in partnership with other sources for interim housing and shelter projects benefiting the community • Exploring other revenue generating opportunities to fund strategic plan activities (for example, bond measures, permit fees, etc.).
29 Line of Effort 5: Strengthen Regional Collaboration.
Focus: Create regional, coordinated response to homelessness to minimize duplication of effort and improve system effectiveness to reduce homelessness.
Metric: Create and maintain a Homeless Action Committee for the plan duration.
Summary of Timing:
• Year 1: Homeless Action Committee created, meets regularly; Citizens Oversight body formed; quarterly discussion sessions begin for those with lived experience
• Years 2-3: Regional Homeless Compact adopted
• Years 4-5: Data-driven management
A. Create a mechanism to visualize, describe, unify, and equitably direct regional efforts to address homelessness.
1. Develop data-driven management: Through HSOC and its committees, conduct bimonthly data-driven oversight of the status of plan implementation and the extent to which desired outcomes are being achieved. Recommend action steps to the Board of Supervisors, the Homeless Action Committee and other stakeholder groups represented on HSOC as needed. Conduct periodic reviews of programs and services to identify activities that need to be initiated, terminated, sustained. Consider and communicate issues and opportunities initially vetted in HSOC committees.
2. For rapid implementation management, create a Homeless Action Committee, consisting of the County Principal Administrative Analyst on Homelessness (and select County staff as required) and all City Mangers (and select City Staff as required) that meets regularly (for example, biweekly) to promote a regional, strategically coordinated approach to addressing homelessness, including developing regional housing and shelter goals and plans. Each member will report back to their respective governing agencies and consult with people with lived experience, nonprofit organizations, law enforcement, fire departments, and other community-based entities, as relevant. Staff will receive strategic guidance for this implementation work from HSOC, and coordinate with HSOC and its committees on multidisciplinary matters and policy issues.
3. Building from the Homeless Action Committee, complete a Regional Homelessness Compact with principles and jurisdiction-specific targets,
30 overall and for special needs populations, and positive and negative incentives for compliance.
4. Secure approval of the Regional Homelessness Compact by all seven cities and the County Board of Supervisors.
5. Establish a Citizen’s Oversight body to meet once or twice yearly to review progress on implementation steps and outcomes achieved and to provide community feedback to HSOC and the Board of Supervisors.
6. Pursue reorganization within the County to consolidate and empower homeless-related staffing, create more stability and predictability in funding and program structure, reduce duplication, allow for more meaningful midterm and long-term planning, and braid together a significant amount of spending.
B. Elevate the voice of people experiencing homelessness to reduce stigma and marginalization of the homeless population.
1. Engage people with lived experience of homelessness to understand challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness in this community and highlight successes.
2. Ensure representation from people of lived experience on all committees or work groups focused on homeless issues.
3. Expand input from Spanish-speaking population and from all people with limited English proficiency throughout the homeless system.
4. Hold quarterly community discussion groups on homeless issues with content developed in partnership with people of lived experience. Refer insights, requests and recommendations to HSOC committees and the Homeless Action Committee for consideration and action.
31 Line of Effort 6: Build public engagement through information-sharing and partnership.
Focus: Sufficiently define the core homelessness issues and communicate the need to the community for these issues to be addressed. Educate and communicate with community members about the strategic plan, outcomes of plan efforts, and specific needs to improve community support for efforts to end and reduce homelessness.
Metric: Increase funding from the general public by 10% each year.
Summary of Timing:
• Year 1: Community education, media plan and “How can I help?” resources • Years 2-3: Establish accessible dashboards to report results to the community • Years 4-5: Enhance community partnerships to strengthen the effectiveness of individual projects and collective efforts to restore people more quickly and securely into housing.
A. Create a community education strategy to inform community leaders and citizens.
1. Develop and maintain a web-based information-sharing center about ongoing activities, plans, and structures responding to homelessness locally to improve communications.
2. Develop community-wide dashboards to share progress on addressing homelessness and developing affordable housing.
3. Circulate HSOC result reports to multiple constituencies. Develop talking points for report to distribute to cities, service providers, etc.
4. Ensure all communication is accessible to the full population (such as translations in Spanish, cultural appropriateness, readability, vision or hearing impaired, etc.)
5. Create a centralized resource to help answer the “How can I help” question and help link potential volunteers, donors and advocates with established organizations and each other
6. Create an online resource for individuals and families who are unhoused to share information about what is happening in the community, and for individuals experiencing homelessness to have a way to share their experiences with HSOC.
32 7. Enhance engagement with front-line community groups and volunteers working with underserved homeless populations to build community ties and trust with the unhoused community.
8. Build community support for creating homelessness funding mechanisms (including both public and private funding).
B. Create a media plan for communication including professional and social media
1. Hire a public relations firm to create media plan to share information about homelessness and the system of care and more effectively engage the community in supportive action, using already-allocated funds.
2. Distribute shared talking points to city communications staff.
33 Summary of Requested Jurisdictional Commitments

34 Appendices
Appendix A: Housing Goal Methodology
Housing Goal: 2050 additional housing placements
over 5 years
Why 2050?
• Our overall plan goal is to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness to 50% of the current level within five years. So, if 2100 people are homeless now, we plan to house at least 1050 people homeless countywide before plan completion. • HMIS data from the past three years shows an average of approximately 200 more people coming into the system of care each year compared to those to exit, so we can estimate that roughly an additional 1000 people will become homeless during the plan implementation period.
• As a result, we plan to house 2050 (1050 + 1000) more people in housing over this 5-year period above and beyond the current level of effort.

2. Rapid Rehousing (RRH)/Vouchers
Rapid rehousing (RRH) is a housing
intervention that provides financial
support, including short to
medium term rental assistance,
and services to support
households to stabilize in housing.
The goal is that households will
transition in place and take over
their full rent payment when they
exit the program.
Target: House an
additional 160 people
in existing units
through a combination
of RRH and new
housing vouchers.
Assumptions: Assume
20% turnover and 1.5
persons per unit.
Additional use of this
strategy is constrained

4. Non-Congregate Interim Housing & Sheltering Capacity Interim housing and sheltering
capacity can take many forms,
including tiny homes, cabins, pallet
shelters, safe parking, sober living,
and other creative approaches. A
mix of "wet, dry and damp"
environments will be needed. Case
management and diversion
techniques will be needed to
support households to move to
more stable housing, which may
include subsidized (for example,
rapid rehousing) or supportive
housing (for example, permanent
supportive housing).
Target: Build 300 units
within 3 years (90-120-
90; roughly 10 sites
with average of 30 units
per site (range 15-60
units)). With turnover,
will shelter 500 people.

39 Appendix C: Plan Development
This plan was developed between September 2021 and July 2022. The plan was led by a cross-community steering committee that included:
Anne Robin, County of San Luis Obispo Health Agency
Brenda Mack, Community Member
Elaine Archer, Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo
Janna Nichols, 5Cities Homeless Coalition
John Peters, Grover Beach Police Department
Kelsey Nocket, City of San Luis Obispo
Scott Collins, City of Morro Bay
Susan Funk, Councilmember from City of Atascadero (Chair) The committee was supported by Laurel Weir and other staff from the County of San Luis Obispo Department of Social Services Homeless Services Unit and Joseph Dzvonik, County of San Luis Obispo. Homebase/The Center for Common Concerns, Inc. provided technical support.
The committee reviewed data analyses from the following sources to inform the plan’s creation:
• Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS) data for the period from January 2018 to November 15, 2021
• Survey responses from 170 stakeholders
• Survey responses from 55 providers
• Eight stakeholder interviews
• One provider focus group
• One lived experience focus group
• Data provided or obtained by steering committee members The committee was unable to review the results of the 2022 Point-in-Time Count and coordinated entry data in the development of this plan. The committee desires additional reliable quantitative data to inform housing and service priorities and allocation, including from the coordinated entry system, which informed the creation of Line of Effort 3.
40 Appendix D: Glossary
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are permanent units that exist besides, near, or in conjunction with a larger, pre-existing home.
At risk of homelessness is a status given to individuals and their families who have unstable housing and inadequate income and resources.8
Behavioral health describes the connection between a person's behaviors and the health and well-being of the body and mind.9
Case management includes assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation and advocacy with people experiencing homelessness. Staff work with individuals and families to address their comprehensive needs to help them exit homelessness and stay housed.
Chronically Homeless is when a person has been homeless for at least a year, either 12 months consecutively or over the course of at least 4 separate occasions in the past 3 years. To be chronically homeless, the individual or head of household must also have a disability.
Coordinated Entry (CE) System is a system for accessing homeless housing and services that prioritizes the highest need, most vulnerable households in the community and that ensures the housing and supportive services in the system are used as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a flexible program run by HUD that provides communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs.
Continuum of Care (CoC) is the group organized to carry out the responsibilities prescribed in the CoC Program Interim Rule10 for a defined geographic area.
Responsibilities of a CoC include operating the CoC, designating and operating an HMIS, planning for the CoC (including coordinating the implementation of a housing and service system within its geographic area that meets the needs of the individuals and families who experience homelessness there), and designing and implementing the process associated with applying for CoC Program funds. 8 See 24 C.F.R. § 576.2 for complete definition of “at risk of homelessness” under the Emergency Solutions Grant Program. 9CDC, The Critical Need for a Population Health Approach: Addressing the Nation’s Behavioral Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond. Available at: https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2020/20_0261.htm 10 CoC Interim Rule, https://www.hudexchange.info/resource/2033/hearth-coc-program-interim-rule/
41 CoC Program is designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and state and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities by homelessness; promote access to and effect utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
Diversion is a strategy that prevents homelessness for people seeking shelter by helping them identify immediate alternate housing arrangements and, if necessary, connecting them with supportive services and financial assistance to help them return to permanent housing.
Emergency Shelter is any facility with overnight sleeping accommodations, the primary purpose of which is to provide temporary shelter for homeless people.
Shelter may include year-round emergency shelters, winter and warming shelters, navigation centers and transitional housing. These types of shelter have varying hours, lengths of stay, food service, and support services.
Flexible funds have increasingly been permitted and encouraged as an allowable expense by federal, state, and County funders. Flexible funds can be used for a variety of purposes that will result in an immediate solution to a housing crisis. For example, flexible funding can be used to purchase grocery cards, gas cards, certificates or licenses to work, car repair, furniture, pest extermination, storage, essential minor repairs to make living space more habitable, transportation vouchers/passes, costs for birth certificates or other documents, bus or train tickets, moving costs, housing application fees, credit checks, rental deposits, past due rent, one-month rent on new units, utility deposit, and/or utility payments.
Homeless is defined by HUD in four categories:
(1) individuals and families who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence and includes a subset for an individual who resided in an emergency shelter or a place not meant for human habitation and who is exiting an institution where he or she temporarily resided; (2) individuals and families who will imminently lose their primary nighttime residence;
(3) unaccompanied youth and families with children and youth who are defined as homeless under other federal statutes who do not otherwise qualify as homeless under this definition; and
42 (4) individuals and families who are fleeing, or are attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other dangerous or life-threatening conditions that relate to violence against the individual or a family member.
Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a local information technology system used to collect client-level data and data on the provision of housing and services to homeless individuals and families and persons at risk of homelessness.
Homeless system of care is another way of describing the Continuum of Care (CoC) and the network of partners who come together to work to support people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), U.S. Department of, is the federal agency responsible for national policy and programs that address housing needs, improve and develop communities, and enforce fair housing laws.
Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs), formerly known as the Section 8 program, are long-term rental subsidies funded by HUD and administered by Public Housing Authorities that can be used to help pay for rent.
Housing First is a well-accepted, national, evidenced-based best practice that eliminates barriers to housing, such as sobriety, treatment or service participation requirements, to ensure individuals and families can exit homelessness as quickly and successfully as possible. Supportive services are offered (on a voluntary basis) to maximize housing stability and prevent returns to homelessness as opposed to addressing predetermined treatment goals prior to permanent housing entry.11
Housing Inventory Count (HIC) is conducted annually to collect information about how many units of housing in the region are active and reserved for people experiencing homelessness. This includes Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, Rapid Re-Housing, and Permanent Supportive Housing. To be included in the HIC count, the units must be reserved for people experiencing homelessness. In addition, to be included on the HIC, any Rapid Re-Housing units must have been actively in use by a particular client on the night of the count – subsidies that are available but are not currently being used to pay rental assistance on a particular apartment are not included in the count.
Landlord incentive programs provide education and incentives to landlords to make it more likely they will rent to people experiencing homelessness. They can 11 What Housing First Really Means, National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH).
43 provide funding to support risk mitigation (compensating landlords if tenants harm their premises) and financial incentives that make landlords more likely to rent to people transitioning out of homelessness.
Low-barrier shelters are emergency shelters that have removed most requirements/obstacles for entry into the program so that households are more likely go indoors to connect to services rather than stay on the street. For example, unhoused residents are allowed to bring their pets and possessions, to live with their partners, and do not have to exit the shelter each morning. They are not expected to abstain from using alcohol or other drugs, so long as they do not engage in these activities in common areas of the shelter and are respectful of other residents and staff.
Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered, evidence-based approach used by direct service providers working with people experiencing homelessness. It allows individuals to direct their own path toward the change they seek, rather than trying to convince them of what they need to do. The provider builds trust, listens, and then acts as a guide to help the client to identify their own personal next steps.
Non-congregate shelters provide overnight sleeping accommodations with individual quarters, such as hotels, motels, and dormitories.
People with lived experience are people who have lived through the experience of homelessness and have first-hand knowledge of what it is like to live unsheltered and/or to move through the homeless system of care.
Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is an annual process required of CoCs by HUD to count the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January. The PIT count provides a snapshot of data available on the size and characteristics of the homeless population in a CoC over time.
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) provides long-term housing with intensive supportive services to persons with disabilities. These programs typically target people with extensive experiences of homelessness and multiple vulnerabilities and needs who would not be able to retain housing without significant support.
Prevention is a strategy that targets financial resources and supportive services to people who are at imminent risk of homelessness (whereas Diversion usually targets people as they are initially trying to gain entry into shelter).
Rapid Rehousing (RRH) provides people experiencing homelessness with rental housing subsidies and tailored supportive services for up to 24 months, with the goal of helping people to transition during that time period to more permanent housing.
44 Street outreach involves multi-disciplinary teams who work on the streets or in encampments to engage with people experiencing homelessness who may be disconnected or alienated from services and supports that are offered at an agency.
Supportive services include assistance applying for benefits, mental health and substance use services, outpatient health services, information and referral services, child care, education, life skills training, employment assistance and job training, housing search and counseling services, legal services, outreach services, transportation, food assistance, risk assessment and safety planning (particularly for individuals and families experiencing domestic violence), and case management services such as counseling, finding and coordinating services, and monitoring and evaluating progress in a program.
Trauma-informed care is a practice that focuses on understanding and compassion, especially in response to trauma. The practice utilizes tools that empower people to work toward stability. It recognizes a wide range of trauma that can impact people experiencing homelessness; physical, psychological, social, and emotional trauma. It emphasizes the safety of both clients and providers.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Bill Robeson, Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Works BY: Theresa Wren, Capital Improvement Projects Manager
SUBJECT: Resolutions Ordering the Preparation of Annual Engineer’s Reports for Assessment Districts for FY 2026-27
DATE: May 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt Resolutions ordering the preparation and filing of Annual Engineer's Reports for the Parkside Village Assessment District ("Parkside Village"), Grace Lane Assessment District ("Grace Lane"), and Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1, within Tract 1769 ("Tract 1769"), for FY 2026-27; and
2) Determine that adopting the Resolutions ordering the Engineer's reports is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because the activity is not a “project” subject to CEQA and it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines,§§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.)
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27, the total revenue budgets for the three subject Assessment Districts are proposed to be:
Parkside Village Assessment District $ 34,700
Grace Lane Assessment District $ 16,100
Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1 (Tract 1769) $ 7,100 BACKGROUND:
The California Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (California Streets and Highways Code section 22500 et seq., the "Act") authorizes local governmental agencies to form assessment districts for the purpose of financing the costs and expenses of landscaping and lighting public areas. Accordingly, the City formed the following three separate assessment districts in compliance with the Act:
Item 9.f.
City Council
Resolutions Ordering the Preparation of Annual Engineer’s Reports for Assessment Districts for FY 2026-27
May 12, 2026
Tract Number Assessment District Name Date Formed
Tract 2310 Parkside Village Assessment District November 8, 2005 Tract 2236 Grace Lane Assessment District November 28, 2006 Tract 1769 Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1 May 12, 1992 The Act requires that the City complete the following process each fiscal year in order to levy and collect assessments:
1. Adopt a Resolution describing any proposed new improvements or any substantial changes in existing improvements and ordering the preparation and filing of an Engineer's Report.
2. Approve the Engineer's Report and adopt a Resolution of Intention. The Resolution of Intention declares the City Council's intention to levy and collect assessments under the subject assessment districts for the upcoming fiscal year. It also states whether the assessment is proposed to change from the previous year and sets a date, hour, and place for a public hearing.
3. Conduct the public hearing affording all interested parties the opportunity to hear and be heard.
4. Adopt a Resolution confirming the assessment, which constitutes the levy of the assessments for FY 2026-27.
Upon fulfillment of these requirements, the City must submit the Resolution confirming the assessments to the County of San Luis Obispo for inclusion on the FY 2026-27 property tax roll.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The first step in the statutorily prescribed process under the Act requires the City to adopt a Resolution describing any proposed new improvements or any substantial changes to existing improvements and ordering the preparation and filing of an Engineer's Report.
The subject assessment districts are largely responsible for covering expenses related to maintaining the public landscaping within the defined boundaries of the separate districts.
Following work completed as part of FY 2025-26, no new improvements or substantial changes in existing improvements are proposed for the Parkside Park, Grace Lane, or Tract 1769 Assessment Districts for FY 2026-27.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt Resolutions ordering the preparation and filing of Annual Engineer's Reports for the Parkside Village Assessment District, Grace Lane Assessment District and Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1, within Tract 1769, for FY 2026-27;
2. Modify and adopt the Resolutions;
Item 9.f.
City Council
Resolutions Ordering the Preparation of Annual Engineer’s Reports for Assessment Districts for FY 2026-27
May 12, 2026
3. Do not adopt the Resolutions; or
4. Provide other directions to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Adoption of the Resolutions describing the existing improvements and ordering the preparation and filing of Engineer's Reports will comply with California Streets and Highways Code, Section 22622, and is the first step required in the annual levy of assessments.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages for this proposed action have been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item. Adopting the resolutions ordering the Engineer’s reports is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because the activity is not a “project” subject to CEQA and it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines,§§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.) PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Perez, Interim Director of Community Development BY: Shayna Sutherland, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Architectural Review 25-004; Public Art on Private Property; Location – 227 East Branch Street
DATE: May 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution approving Architectural Review 25-004 for a proposed mural at 227 East Branch Street; and
2) Find that the project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 for minor alterations to existing structures.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
No financial impact is projected.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Village Creative, proposes to paint a mural on the painted brick façade along the east side of the building located at 227 E. Branch St, located at the northwest corner of the intersection of E. Branch Street and Mason Street (Attachment 2). The proposed mural meets the definition of public art and is subject to the City’s Public Art Guidelines and Public Art Donation Program1(“the Guidelines”).
The Guidelines were most recently updated on May 14th2, 2024, when the City Council adopted Resolution 5358. The stated purpose of the Guidelines is to establish a framework to facilitate and encourage property owners to provide outdoor public art. The Guidelines define "Public Art" as art located either:
1. On private property with a non-residential land use that is visible from a public right-of-way or public property; or
2. In the adjacent public right of way; or

3. On property owned or managed by the City of Arroyo Grande (City), that is openly displayed to the public without charge.
The Guidelines establish the City's goals regarding art that is publicly displayed and accessible to the public. The City recognizes that art and artistic expression are protected activities, and these Guidelines are not intended to unduly restrict creative expression or limit the types of public art possible. Rather, they are intended to facilitate and encourage the best possible combination of sites and artwork and help to guide what is essentially a form of communication between the artist and the community.
The Guidelines also describe the approval process and selection criteria for public art proposals. Under the amended guidelines, all public art projects require review by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC), which makes a recommendation to the City Council. Decisions by the City Council shall be based on compliance with the selection criteria.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Project Description
The project proposes the installation of a mural on the painted brick façade along the east side of the building at 227 East Branch Street. The artwork would extend across the full length of the complex, which consists of two structures connected by a private courtyard, and would cover approximately 760 square feet.
The artwork features seven figures engaged in various creative activities, including playing musical instruments, sewing, painting, and photography. The composition is unified by a continuous linework element that symbolizes the shared connection and community inspired by creativity. The mural is composed of simple black linework against the existing painted brick building façade, which is currently teal on the northern portion of the structure and an off-white on the section closest to the intersection. If the mural is approved, the teal portion will be repainted to match the off-white color prior to painting the mural. A rendering of the proposed mural can be viewed below, and as Attachment

Review Process Under Public Art Guidelines
Following an initial determination on the completeness of the application by the Community Development Department, the ARC reviews all public art applications and makes a recommendation to the City Council. The Selection Criteria, which both ARC and the City Council use to review applications, are discussed below.
Architectural Review Committee (ARC)
The ARC reviewed the proposal at the regular meeting on December 15, 20253. The Committee was supportive of the prominent location and the intent to create public art that reflects the community’s tradition of live music and the arts. The ARC commented4 that the family-friendly art style is approachable and appropriate for a highly visible area frequented by children, young families, and the broader community.

Item 10.a.
City Council

May 12, 2026
During its review, concerns were expressed regarding imagery that may relate to services offered by the business. Based on a prior interpretation of Selection Criterion 7.e of the Guidelines, the Committee concurred with staff’s analysis that such imagery could be construed as referencing on-site services and therefore conflict with the prohibition on signage. Based on these findings, the ARC recommended denial of the proposal as presented at the meeting.
Selection Criteria
The Guidelines state that certain selection criteria (the “Selection Criteria”) shall be the basis for all decisions on public art applications. The first seven criteria apply to all public art applications, and the final criterion is specific to proposals in the D-2.4 Historic Character Overlay District. The Selection Criteria are as follows:
1. Evaluation of artistic excellence, examining:
a. The artist’s qualifications, including education, training, experience, body of work, recognition of the artist, and the consistency of the artist’s qualifications with the stated goals of the project;
b. The artist’s record of previous collaboration with other agencies, organizations, artists, fabricators, or installers to achieve a successful result in implementing the proposed project;
c. The artist’s experience working in the public realm; d. To the extent applicable, the artist’s previous proven successful experience in creating, producing or otherwise implementing projects similar to the one proposed;
e. The original nature of the proposed concept;
f. The inherent artistic quality and aesthetic merit of the work;
2. Appropriateness of scale, form, material, content and design relative to the immediate neighborhood and environment; no mural shall be approved if the mural, as proposed, would create an objective risk to public health, safety, or welfare (e.g. a mural near a roadway would be rejected for the use of reflective materials, like mirrors, which could cause a distraction to drivers). Scale is defined as the relative size of a building element in relation to other forms and the human body. Form is the shape or configuration of the artwork;
3. Appropriateness of proposed materials in regard to structural and surface integrity.
Materials should be considered in the context of ability to deter against vandalism, withstand weathering, and maintain the intended design;
4. Ease of maintenance and longevity of the proposed materials;
5. Appropriateness of the proposed method of installation of the artwork with consideration given to the safety and structural factors involved in installation;
6. Location, considering the intended audience for the proposal, whether the public will be a captive audience or whether a person would need to take affirmative steps to view the project. Consideration shall be given to whether the mural would be in an area typically accessed or viewable by minors;
7. A mural shall not be approved if it includes:
Item 10.a.
City Council
Architectural Review 25-004; Public Art on Private Property; Location – 227 East Branch Street
May 12, 2026
a. Copyrighted work without permission of the holder of the copyright. b. Obscene materials.
c. Defamatory content.
d. Fighting words or advocates imminent lawless action. e. Content, including but not limited to, words, symbols, signs, trademarks, or references to products or services provided on the premises. Such content meets the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (AGMC) definition for signage, as regulated by AGMC Chapter 16.60;
8. Public Art proposed in the D-2.4 Historic Character Overlay District is also subject to the following criteria:
a. An identified relationship to the social, cultural, and historical identity of the area;
b. An identified relationship to the site's existing architectural features; c. The nature of the site's surrounding neighborhood and potential impact of the public art project on residents, businesses, and existing works of art or design elements within the site's vicinity.
Findings
Staff is able to make the required findings that the mural is consistent with the Selection Criteria described by the Guidelines. Staff’s analysis of the findings is as follows:
1. The artwork was designed by Canned Pineapple Co., a studio based in Nashville, Tennessee, that specializes in murals and large-scale artwork. The artist has completed multiple installations within the Central Coast region, including in public and high-visibility settings at Cal Poly and Duncan Alley. The studio has an established portfolio of large-scale mural projects comparable in scope and method to the proposed installation. Their previous work demonstrates experience in designing, coordinating, and implementing public-realm projects, including collaborations with property owners, agencies, and installation teams. The submitted materials indicate a history of producing original designs and concepts tailored to specific sites.
2. The mural would not create a risk to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public. The mural does not include reflective or hazardous materials. In terms of scale, the mural is proportionate to both the building façade and the surrounding environment. The proposal is sized to be clearly visible and engaging for both pedestrians and vehicles, including those idling at the prominent intersection of E.
Branch and Mason Streets. The dimensions are appropriate for the viewing distance and speed of passersby, ensuring visibility without overwhelming the architectural setting.
3. The mural is proposed to be hand-painted using durable exterior latex paint, a material commonly used in public art installations due to its long-term performance and relatively low maintenance needs.
4. The artist and property owner propose the use of durable exterior latex paint based on the artist’s proven success with these materials in completing similar projects.
Exterior latex paint is suitable for outdoor murals due to its resistance to
Item 10.a.
City Council
Architectural Review 25-004; Public Art on Private Property; Location – 227 East Branch Street
May 12, 2026
weathering. Additionally, the selected materials can be easily cleaned, touched up, or refreshed if needed.
5. The proposed use of paint on the painted-brick exterior of the building is appropriate and would not negatively impact the structural integrity of the building.
Installation of the proposed mural would likely require a temporary sidewalk closure and rerouting of pedestrians, which would be assessed through an encroachment permit.
6. The proposed location is situated at a highly visible intersection along Mason Street at Branch Street, making it readily viewable to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The intended audience includes members of the public who encounter the mural in the course of their daily activities, rather than individuals who must take affirmative steps to seek it out. Given that the site is an area commonly accessed by a broad cross-section of the community, including minors, the content of the mural was intentionally designed to be appropriate for all ages.
7. The mural does not include words, logos, symbols, or direct references to products or services offered on the premises. While the imagery depicts general creative activities such as music, visual art, and photography, these themes are broadly interpretive and are not unique to the services offered by the business. The intent and composition of the artwork are community-oriented and symbolic in nature, and the imagery is not presented in a manner that functions as advertising or signage, as defined by the Municipal Code. The mural is designed to be viewed as public art independent of the continued presence of the business and is not dependent on the identification of any specific service or program.
8. The proposed mural reflects themes of artistic expression, including music, visual arts, and craftsmanship. These themes are consistent with the Village’s identity as a pedestrian-oriented district with an established history of creative and cultural activity. The artwork reinforces, rather than conflicts with, the area’s cultural character by depicting community-based creative engagement.
The use of painted brick as a canvas is consistent with historic precedent for painted wall graphics within commercial and mixed-use buildings in the area and maintains the underlying architectural form and materials of the structure. The mural is not anticipated to result in adverse impacts to surrounding uses, existing artwork, or design elements in the vicinity. The scale, composition, and subject matter are compatible with the pedestrian character of the area and are expected to enhance visual interest within the public realm without introducing visual clutter or inconsistency with nearby development.
The ARC had originally recommended denial at its December 15, 2025, meeting on the basis of Criterion 7.e. On April 14, 2026, the City Council reviewed Architectural Review 25-005 for a separate mural proposal and had a robust discussion regarding the interpretation of Selection Criterion 7.e. Although the ARC’s recommendation was based on a strict interpretation of Criterion 7.e, staff have reexamined the proposal in
Item 10.a.
City Council
Architectural Review 25-004; Public Art on Private Property; Location – 227 East Branch Street
May 12, 2026
consideration of recent City Council action on Architectural Review 25-005 involving the same criterion. In that case, the City Council approved the mural despite a recommendation that the mural’s imagery could be interpreted as referencing products sold on-site.
The imagery, which is interpretive and reflects general activities, such as music, art, and photography, does not constitute signage, consistent with the Council discussion on April 14, 2026. While staff initially recommended denial during the ARC review process based on a strict reading of Criterion 7.e, the City Council’s prior action provides relevant direction supporting a more contextual interpretation. The proposed mural is communityoriented and symbolic in nature and is not presented in a manner that promotes a specific product or service.
In its review of the application, City Council shall consider any material submitted by the applicant, city staff, the administrative record of the decision on the application, and evidence presented at the hearing. The applicant shall be given a reasonable time to present their case. Using the Selection Criteria as the basis for its decision, the City Council may:
1. Request that the applicant clarify its proposal or redesign and resubmit its proposal to ARC or City Council. If the City Council requests that the applicant resubmit the proposal to ARC, the resubmitted proposal shall be reviewed as a new application; or
2. Approve the proposal, providing a written explanation of the basis for approval through the Selection Criteria; or
3. Deny the proposal, providing a written explanation of the basis for denial through the Selection Criteria.
All decisions of the City Council are final and conclusive.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution approving the project;
2. Direct the applicant to redesign and resubmit the project;
3. Do not adopt the prepared Resolution; or
4. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Approval of the application would result in the addition of public art at a highly visible intersection within the Village, contributing to the visual character of the area and reinforcing a sense of community identity. The mural would also activate an otherwise blank façade and support the City’s goal of encouraging publicly accessible art.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARROYO
GRANDE APPROVING ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW 25-004 FOR A
PROPOSED MURAL AT 227 EAST BRANCH STREET
WHEREAS, the Architectural Review Committee reviewed the proposed mural at 201 East Branch Street (the “Project”) at its meeting on December 15, 2025, and recommended denial of the Project in accordance with the City’s Public Art Guidelines and Public Art Donation Program (“Guidelines”); and
WHEREAS, the applicant for the proposed mural is Village Creative, which operates as a business that offers lessons in music, art, sewing, and photography; and WHEREAS, on May 12, 2026, the City Council considered approval of Architectural Review 25-005 at a duly noticed public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the Project and the applicable environmental determination under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines, and has determined that the project is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 for minor alterations to existing structures; and WHEREAS, all prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande that:
1. Recitals. All recitals above are true and correct and hereby incorporated into reference.
2. CEQA. The proposed mural is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under the Class 1 exemption, which applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features where the project involves negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15301.) The City further finds that no exceptions to the Class 1 exemption apply.
3. Architectural Review Findings:
1. The proposal is consistent with the architectural guidelines of the city, or guidelines prepared for the area in which the project is located; The proposal to paint a wall mural on a painted brick wall is consistent with all applicable architectural guidelines for the project. Painted wall murals are appropriate for this location due to the historical use of painted wall signs
RESOLUTION NO.

directly onto brick buildings. The colors and the content of the mural are consistent with all relevant guidelines, including the City’s Design Guidelines and Standards for the Historic Character Overlay District (D-2.4).
2. The proposal is consistent with the text and maps of the Arroyo Grande general plan and this title;
The Project as proposed is consistent with the City’s General Plan, specifically the Economic Development Element, which emphasizes the implementation of public art.
3. The proposal will not be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed project;
The Project will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the general public due to being designed with materials that are intended for use on outdoor walls.
Further, the applicant will be required to implement appropriate safety measures for pedestrians while the work is occurring, which will mitigate any potential safety issues during installation.
4. The general appearance of the proposal is in keeping with the character of the neighborhood;
The Project is not anticipated to result in adverse impacts to surrounding uses, existing artwork, or design elements in the vicinity. The scale and composition are compatible with the pedestrian-oriented character of the area, and the subject matter is consistent with the broader visual context of the Village. The mural is expected to contribute positively to the visual interest of the public realm without overwhelming or detracting from adjacent development or design features.
5. The proposal is not detrimental to the orderly and harmonious development of the city;
The approval of this artwork will not have any detrimental effect on the harmonious development of the City due to being consistent with the adopted guidelines for public art. Further, the installation of public art in the Village supports the City’s Economic Development goals related to public realm enhancements and placemaking.
6. The proposal will not impair the desirability of investment or occupation in the neighborhood.
The Project will not impair the desirability of the neighborhood due to being consistent with the adopted guidelines for public art. Further, the installation of
RESOLUTION NO.
PAGE 3
public art in an area designed for pedestrian activity increases the visual intrigue and creates a sense of community that will promote further investment in the neighborhood.
4. Public Art Selection Criteria Findings:
1. Evaluation of artistic excellence, examining:
a. The artist’s qualifications, including: education, training, experience, body of work, recognition of the artist, and the consistency of the artist’s qualifications with the stated goals of the project;
b. The artist’s record of previous collaboration with other agencies, organizations, artists, fabricators, or installers to achieve a successful result in implementing the proposed project;
c. The artist’s experience working in the public realm; d. To the extent applicable, the artist’s previous proven successful experience in creating, producing or otherwise implementing projects similar to the one proposed;
e. The original nature of the proposed concept;
f. The inherent artistic quality and aesthetic merit of the work; The submitted artwork was designed by Canned Pineapple Co., a studio based in Nashville, Tennessee, that specializes in murals and large-scale artwork.
The artist has completed multiple installations within the Central Coast region, including in public and high-visibility settings at Cal Poly and Duncan Alley. The studio has an established portfolio of large-scale mural projects comparable in scope and method to the proposed installation. Their previous work demonstrates experience in designing, coordinating, and implementing publicrealm projects, including collaborations with property owners, agencies, and installation teams. The submitted materials indicate a history of producing original designs and concepts tailored to specific sites.
2. Appropriateness of scale, form, material, content and design relative to the immediate neighborhood and environment; no mural shall be approved if the mural, as proposed, would create an objective risk to public health, safety, or welfare (e.g. a mural near a roadway would be rejected for the use of reflective materials, like mirrors, which could cause a distraction to drivers). Scale is defined as the relative size of a building element in relation to other forms and the human body. Form is the shape or configuration of the artwork; The mural would not create a risk to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public. The mural does not include reflective or hazardous materials. In terms of scale, the mural is proportionate to both the building façade and the surrounding environment. The proposal is sized to be clearly visible and engaging for both pedestrians and vehicles, including those idling at the prominent intersection of E. Branch and Mason Streets. The dimensions are appropriate for the viewing distance and speed of passersby, ensuring visibility
RESOLUTION NO.

without overwhelming the architectural context. The content is communityoriented, making it suitable for a public-facing location. The simplistic design is legible and avoids creating visual clutter.
3. Appropriateness of proposed materials in regards to structural and surface integrity. Materials should be considered in the context of ability to deter against vandalism, withstand weathering, and maintain the intended design; The mural is proposed to be hand-painted using durable exterior latex paint, a material commonly used in public art installations due to its long-term performance and relatively low maintenance needs.
4. Ease of maintenance and longevity of the proposed materials; The artist and property owner proposed the use of durable exterior latex paint based on the artist’s proven success with these materials in completing similar projects. Exterior latex paint is suitable for outdoor murals due to its resistance to weathering. Additionally, the selected materials can be easily cleaned, touched up, or refreshed if needed.
5. Appropriateness of the proposed method of installation of the artwork with consideration given to the safety and structural factors involved in installation; The proposed use of paint on the painted-brick exterior of the building is appropriate and would not negatively impact the structural integrity of the building. Installation of the proposed mural would likely require a temporary sidewalk closure and rerouting of pedestrians, which would be assessed through an encroachment permit.
6. Location, considering the intended audience for the proposal, whether the public will be a captive audience or whether a person would need to take affirmative steps to view the project. Consideration shall be given to whether the mural would be in an area typically accessed or viewable by minors; The proposed location is situated at a highly visible intersection along Mason Street at E. Branch Street, making it readily visible to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The intended audience is members of the general public who encounter the mural in the course of their daily activities, rather than individuals who must take affirmative steps to seek it out. Given that the site is an area commonly accessed by a broad cross-section of the community, including minors, the content of the mural was intentionally designed to be appropriate for all ages.
7. A mural shall not be approved if it includes:
a. Copyrighted work without permission of the holder of the copyright. b. Obscene materials.
RESOLUTION NO.
PAGE 5
c. Defamatory content.
d. Fighting words or advocates imminent lawless action. e. Content, including but not limited to, words, symbols, signs, trademarks, or references to products or services provided on the premises. Such content meets the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (AGMC) definition for signage, as regulated by AGMC Chapter 16.60;
The mural does not include words, logos, symbols, or direct references to products or services offered on the premises. While the imagery depicts general creative activities such as music, visual art, and photography, these themes are broadly interpretive and are not unique to the services offered by the business. The intent and composition of the artwork are communityoriented and symbolic in nature, and the imagery is not presented in a manner that functions as advertising or signage, as defined by the Municipal Code. The mural is designed to be viewed as public art independent of the continued presence of the business and is not dependent on the identification of any specific service or program.
8. Public Art proposed in the D-2.4 Historic Character Overlay District is also subject to the following criteria:
a. An identified relationship to the social, cultural and historical identity of the area;
b. An identified relationship to the site's existing architectural features; c. The nature of the site's surrounding neighborhood and potential impact of the public art project on residents, businesses, and existing works of art or design elements within the site's vicinity.
The proposed mural reflects themes of artistic expression, including music, visual arts, and craftsmanship. These themes are consistent with the Village’s identity as a pedestrian-oriented district with an established history of creative and cultural activity. The artwork reinforces, rather than conflicts with, the area’s cultural character by depicting community-based creative engagement.
The use of painted brick as a canvas is consistent with historic precedent for painted wall graphics within commercial and mixed-use buildings in the area and maintains the underlying architectural form and materials of the structure.
The mural is not anticipated to result in adverse impacts to surrounding uses, existing artwork, or design elements in the vicinity. The scale, composition, and subject matter are compatible with the pedestrian character of the area and are expected to enhance visual interest within the public realm without introducing visual clutter or inconsistency with nearby development.
5. Severability. If any section, division, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this resolution or the document in the record in support of this resolution is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, unconstitutional
RESOLUTION NO.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Valentine, Director of Administrative Services Sheridan Bohlken, Director of Recreation Services
BY: Megan Schotborgh, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: Amendments to the Comprehensive FY 2026-27 User Fee Schedule DATE: May 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution Establishing Additional User Fees and Adjusting the Rates and Charges for all User Fees for Regulatory Activities, Programs, and Services set forth in the Comprehensive Fee Schedule Effective July 1, 2026; and 2) Determine that adopting amendments to the Comprehensive FY 2026-27 User Fee Schedule is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the activity is not a “project” subject to CEQA and it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378).
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
Revenue Adjustments (CPI Increase)
The proposed amendment applies an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment to existing user fees to maintain cost recovery levels and offset inflationary increases in labor, materials, contractual services, and overhead. The CPI adjustment will be incorporated into revenue projections during the FY 2026-27 Budget process.
New Fees
The addition of new user fees will allow the City to recover costs associated with services that are currently either under-recovered or not formally established in the adopted fee schedule. The fiscal impact of the new fees will depend on service demand and will be incorporated into revenue projections during the FY 2026-27 Budget process.
BACKGROUND:
Historically, cities have relied on revenue generated by property and other taxes to provide services to the community. In addition, local governments rely upon user fees to fund programs and services that provide limited or no direct benefit to the community as
Item 10.b.
City Council
Amendments to the Comprehensive FY 2026-27 User Fee Schedule May 12, 2026
a whole. California Constitution Article XIIIC Section 1(e)(1) distinguished fees from taxes, describing fees as “A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.”
In order to determine the cost of providing user-specific services to individuals or businesses, a fee study is required. The City contracted with Willdan Financial Services to conduct a User Fee Study. On November 14, 20231, the City Council adopted Resolution 53332 updating user fees set forth in the Comprehensive Fee Schedule with an effective date of January 16, 2024. On March 25, 20253, the City Council approved the current FY 2025-26 Comprehensive Fee Schedule4. Resolution 5333 dictates that fees shall be administratively adjusted annually by modifying the adopted value up or down in conformance with the annual change in the CPI for the Los Angeles region. The CPI increase shall be calculated based on the reported CPI change as of the immediately preceding January, for Fee adjustment implementation in July of each year.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
In addition to the adjustment of existing user fees by CPI, there are several recommended fees to be established as part of the Council’s action. The new fees are organized to be consistent with the order of fees in Exhibit A to the Resolution.
Consumer Price Index
The Director of Administrative Services has calculated that the user fees adopted as part of the Comprehensive Fee Schedule increase 3.0% based on the CPI for the Los Angeles region in January 2026. Annual CPI updates to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule take effect in July of each year and, therefore, will be effective July 1, 2026.
Administrative Fee for Retirees Benefits
Staff recommends establishing a 2% administrative fee for participation in the City’s Retiree Voluntary Dental and Vision Program. The purpose of this fee is to recover the City’s reasonable and actual costs associated with administering and maintaining access to voluntary dental and vision coverage for eligible retirees and their dependents. While premiums for coverage are funded by retiree contributions, the City performs essential administrative functions necessary to sustain the program. These functions include vendor coordination, enrollment and eligibility management, premium billing and reconciliation, regulatory compliance, required reporting, and ongoing retiree communications. This fee is supported by an internal cost analysis of staff time and direct program expenses associated with administering the retiree dental and vision program.
The proposed administrative fee is intended solely for cost recovery and is not designed

Item 10.b.
City Council
Amendments to the Comprehensive FY 2026-27 User Fee Schedule May 12, 2026
to generate revenue. The 2% amount is consistent with standard administrative fees applied to similar benefit programs, including those permitted under COBRA, and reflects a reasonable approximation of the City’s costs to administer the program. The fee will be applied uniformly and will not exceed the City’s actual cost of administration. Participation in the Retiree Dental and Vision Program is voluntary, and the administrative fee supports the City’s ability to continue offering access to this coverage. Staff will periodically review program costs to ensure the fee remains appropriately aligned with actual administrative expenses. The proposed fee of 2% is reflected in the Resolution, Exhibit A, line 48, under the Administrative Services section of the User Fee Schedule.
Tree Permit Application
Staff recommends the establishment of a new annual Tree Trimming Permit. This permit will be required for tree trimming companies performing work within the public right-ofway. Historically, tree trimming companies have not consistently obtained encroachment permits for individual projects, largely due to the short-duration and rapid nature of this work, making enforcement challenging. The proposed annual permit will streamline administration while ensuring proper insurance and liability protections are in place, shifting responsibility to the contractor for work performed in the right-of-way. The permit will also incorporate standard traffic control requirements to maintain public safety.
The proposed fee is intended to recover the administrative costs associated with processing and monitoring the annual permit, including approximately 1.5 hours of review by the City’s Senior Engineer and approximately 2 hours of staff time by the Permit Technician to complete insurance verification, issue the permit, and provide ongoing coordination and communication with contractors throughout the permit term. The proposed fee of $400 per year is based on cost recovery related to staff time and is reflected in the Resolution, Exhibit A, line 18, under the Engineering section of the User Fee Schedule.
Deposit Fee for Centennial Park Gazebo
Staff recommends the establishment of a security deposit requirement for rentals of Centennial Park and the Gazebo. While a rental fee is currently charged for use of these facilities, no deposit is required, which differs from the City’s standard practice for other facility rentals. Implementing a deposit will provide financial protection to the City in the event of damage, excessive cleaning needs, or non-compliance with rental agreement terms. Establishing a deposit for these facilities will ensure consistency across rental policies and promote responsible use of City property. The proposed deposit amount will be structured similarly to other comparable City facility rentals. The proposed deposit is $54 per use and is reflected in the Resolution, Exhibit A, line 17, under the Recreation Services section of the User Fee Schedule.
Court Rental Fee
Staff recommends renaming the existing “Tennis Court Rental – 1 Court” fee listed under Soto Sports Complex Use Fees (Line 36) in the Recreation Services section to “Court
Item 10.b.
City Council
Amendments to the Comprehensive FY 2026-27 User Fee Schedule May 12, 2026
Rental – 1 Court” to better reflect the variety of recreational court facilities available for reservation and use. The updated fee title would apply consistently to rentals of tennis, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, and other similar court facilities maintained by the City.
This proposed change is administrative in nature and intended to provide greater clarity and flexibility within the User Fee Schedule as recreational programming and facility use continue to evolve. No changes to the current rental rate of $14 per hour are proposed.
The proposed fee title change is reflected in the Resolution, Exhibit A, line 36, under the Recreation Services section of the User Fee Schedule.
Light Key Fees
Staff recommends establishing two new fees related to light keys. The proposed new fees include an annual Soto Sports Pickleball Light Key fee of $25, in addition to the existing pickleball club annual membership fee, and an annual Soto Sports Complex Tennis Court Light Key fee of $75. Unlike the pickleball program, no current tennis club membership structure exists. These fees will better reflect the operational and maintenance costs associated with the use of specialized recreational amenities, and formalize fees for facility features that are currently unstructured within the User Fee Schedule. The Pickleball Light Key fee is reflected in the Resolution, Exhibit A, line 45, under the Recreation Services section of the User Fee Schedule. The Tennis Light Key fee is reflected in the Resolution, Exhibit A, line 38, under the Recreation Services section of the User Fee Schedule.
Trash Service Fee for Soto Sports Complex
Staff recommends the establishment of a new tournament-related service fee for events held at Soto Sports Complex. Currently, there is no permanent dumpster located at the site, and tournament events rely on City staff to empty trash receptacles during and after events. Because staff are not scheduled for the full duration of tournament activities, this arrangement creates operational challenges and additional staff time impacts. The proposed fee would ensure that tournament organizers are responsible for properly emptying trash and cleaning the fields prior to departure, consistent with the requirements outlined in the facility rental agreement. The fee will be imposed to recover the trash service and staff time associated with oversight and coordination of this requirement. The proposed fee is $225 per use and is reflected in the Resolution, Exhibit A, line 39, under the Recreation Services section of the User Fee Schedule.
Increase Refundable Security Deposits for Soto Sports Complex Tournaments Staff recommends renaming the existing “Cleaning Deposit” listed under line 47 in the Recreation Services section to “Security Deposit” to better reflect its intended purpose.
This deposit is applied when a facility is left in poor condition, equipment or property is damaged, or the terms of the rental agreement are not followed by the event organizer.
The current deposit amount is lower than comparable facilities of similar size, which may reduce its effectiveness as a deterrent. Increasing the deposit to $1,033, consistent with the existing security deposit required for the Woman’s Club facility, will bolster compliance with rental agreement requirements and discourage organizers from leaving cleanup
Item 10.b.
City Council
Amendments to the Comprehensive FY 2026-27 User Fee Schedule May 12, 2026
items such as sesame seed shells, cigarette butts, and other trash with the expectation that the deposit will simply be forfeited without compliance. This adjustment better aligns the deposit with potential City costs and promotes responsible facility use. The proposed fee of $1,033 per use is reflected in the Resolution, Exhibit A, line 47, under the Recreation Services section of the User Fee Schedule.
Increase Basketball & Softball league fees to reflect referee fees Staff recommends an adjustment to the adult league fees for softball and basketball to incorporate the cost of referee and umpire services into the overall league registration fee. Currently, the City charges $671 for adult softball and $594 for adult basketball, exclusive of referee or umpire fees, which are paid directly by each team. Incorporating these costs into the league fee would allow the City to centrally manage and compensate officials, providing greater consistency, accountability, and administrative efficiency. This approach would streamline the payment process for participants and ensure timely and reliable officiating services. The proposed fee for softball is $911 per season; this is using the current fee of $671 and incorporating the $240 cost associated with umpire fees. The proposed fee for softball is reflected in the Resolution, Exhibit A, line 90, under the Recreation Services section of the User Fee Schedule. The proposed fee for basketball is $954 per season; this is using the current fee of $594 and incorporating the $360 cost associated with referee fees. The proposed fee for basketball is reflected in the Resolution, Exhibit A, line 91, under the Recreation Services section of the User Fee Schedule.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt a Resolution amending the City’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule with updates to certain User Fees previously adopted by the City Council on March 25, 2025;
2. Modify and adopt the Resolution amending the City’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule with updates to certain User Fees previously adopted by the City Council on March 25, 2025; or
3. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Updating a user fee schedule to incorporate new fees and apply CPI adjustments helps maintain cost recovery by ensuring revenues keep pace with inflation and rising service delivery costs. It promotes fiscal sustainability by providing predictable, incremental increases that reduce the need for large future adjustments or General Fund subsidies.
Adding new fees improves fairness and transparency by ensuring users pay for the actual cost of services provided, rather than shifting costs to the broader community. Overall, these updates support stable funding, equitable cost allocation, and continued service quality.
Item 10.b.
City Council
Amendments to the Comprehensive FY 2026-27 User Fee Schedule May 12, 2026
DISADVANTAGES:
Updating a user fee schedule to incorporate new fees and apply CPI adjustments may result in higher costs for specific services. When fees do not fully recover the cost of providing those services, the difference must be subsidized by unrestricted revenue sources, which can limit the availability of general revenues for other community priorities.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Updating user fees set forth in the Comprehensive Fee Schedule is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the activity is not a “project” subject to CEQA and it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060 (c)(2) and (3), 15378.)

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande as follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
2. The City Council finds that all substantive and procedural requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act have been satisfied.
3. The City Council further finds, based upon the information and documents prepared for and presented to the City Council to support this action, that the proposed new User Fees are for the purposes of and necessary for (i) meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and benefits; (ii) purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or materials; (iii) obtaining funds necessary for the operations and maintenance of City property and facilities; and (iv) any other costs incurred by the City attributable to providing the Services for which the User Fees are imposed.
4. The City Council further finds that the User Fees specified by this Resolution do not exceed the reasonably estimated costs of providing the Services for which the User Fees are imposed.
5. The proposed new User Fees included in this proceeding shall be subject to the same inflationary adjustment as the existing Comprehensive Fee Schedule, to be administratively adjusted annually by modifying the adopted value up or down in conformance with the annual change in the CPI for the Los Angeles region. The factor for the adjustment of the User Fees shall be calculated and established each year by the Director of Administrative Services, based on the reported CPI change as of the immediately preceding January, for User Fee adjustment implementation on July 1 of each year. However, in no event shall the User Fees be increased annually to exceed the costs of providing the Services for which they are imposed.
6. The schedule of User Fees entitled “Comprehensive Fee Schedule” in Exhibit “A” attached hereto is hereby adopted.
7. The approval of the User Fees is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, sections 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378 because the activity is not a “project” subject to CEQA and it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Bill Robeson, Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Works BY: Shane Taylor, Utilities Manager
SUBJECT: Amendments to the Municipal Code Regarding Cross-Connections DATE: May 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 13.16 of Title 13 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code regarding cross-connections; and
2) Find the Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because amending Chapter 13.16 of the AGMC has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §15060 (c)(2) and (3), 15378). Alternatively, this organizational or administrative activity to amend Chapter 13.16 of the AGMC will not result in direct physical changes in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines §15378(b)(5).) IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The City has a 10-year agreement for Cross-Connection Inspection Services with the County of San Luis Obispo, approved by Council September 23, 20251. Currently, the budgeted amount for the services for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 is $14,500. In addition, an estimated 50 hours of staff time per year are required to administer the Cross Connection Control Plan (CCCP).
CUSTOMER IMPACTS:
There is no cost increase for residential or commercial customers associated with the CCCP. The program has a commercial building evaluation process that surveys all commercial buildings over a 10-year period to validate the need and function of a backflow device. There will be a cost to the commercial property owner if an upgrade to its backflow systems is required. The number of upgrades to commercial backflow systems is anticipated to be low and required only if a hazard is found. A hazardous condition finding

Item 11.a.
City Council
Amendments to the Municipal Code Regarding Cross-Connections May 12, 2026
can be a business that has expanded into chemical/higher-risk use and/or high-water use.
These use changes typically require a building permit, and through that permit process, a backflow would be required.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The overall purpose of cross-connection and backflow rules and regulations is to protect the public water supply from contamination by isolating, within customer systems, contaminants or pollutants that could backflow or back-siphon into the City’s system.
Many commercial structures are required to have backflow prevention, particularly those with higher-risk and/or high water usage:
Food Service: Restaurants, breweries, and commercial kitchens due to grease traps, dishwashers, and soda machines.
Medical Facilities: Hospitals, dental offices, medical clinics, and veterinary offices. Service Businesses: Car washes, salons, laundromats, and radiator repair shops. Industrial Plants: Manufacturing facilities, chemical processing plants, and bottling plants.
High Water Use Businesses: Laundry mats, hair salons, large-scale retail, and mixed-use buildings.
Existing individual general retail buildings, such as bookstores or clothing stores, typically do not require a backflow device. As new commercial buildings are permitted and constructed, a backflow device is required due to the possibility of a change of use.
The City’s Cross-Connection and Backflow Prevention Program currently exists in Chapter 13.16 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (AGMC). AGMC Chapter 13.16 was designed to comply with Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations (“Title 17”), which contained State standards for cross-connection and backflow prevention.
Title 17 has recently been replaced by the State Water Resource Control Board’s CrossConnection Control Policy Handbook (“CCCPH”), which brings significant updates to State requirements for cross-connection control. The CCCPH was adopted on December 19, 2023, and took effect on July 1, 2024. As such, the City must now implement compliant cross-connection control regulations.
In conformance with the CCCPH, the attached Ordinance would update and amend Chapter 13.16 of the AGMC to ensure the City’s regulations conform to the CCCPH.
These updates include conforming all definitions to the definitions set forth in the CCCPH,
Item 11.a.
City Council
Amendments to the Municipal Code Regarding Cross-Connections May 12, 2026
and conforming backflow prevention requirements and installation criteria to those set forth in the CCCPH.
The attached Ordinance is necessary to meet the standards for cross-connection and backflow prevention required by applicable State law and regulations contained in the CCCPH.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 13.16 of Title 13 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code regarding cross-connections;
2. Modify the ordinance with amendments and direct staff to return at a future public hearing to introduce modified amendments; or
3. Provide other directions to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
The proposed Ordinance ensures Code consistency with the approved CCCPH and the approved CCCP, which provide rules and regulations that protect the City’s public water supply.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages are identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because amending Chapter 13.16 of the AGMC has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §15060 (c)(2) and (3), 15378). Alternatively, this organizational or administrative activity to amend Chapter 13.16 of the AGMC will not result in direct physical changes in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines §15378(b)(5).) PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.

EXHIBIT A
Chapter 13.16 - CROSS-CONNECTIONS
13.16.010 - - Rules and Regulations
A. State and Local Regulations. This cross-connection control policy (“Policy”) contained in Chapter 13.16 of the Municipal Code of the City of Arroyo Grande (“City”), together with the City’s approved cross-connection control plan (“Plan”), are intended to comply with the State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (“CCCPH”) and implement a crossconnection control program (“Program”). The provisions and requirements of the CCCPH, as part of this Program, are enforceable against water users by the City. To the extent anything in this Policy conflicts with applicable laws or regulations, including without limitation the provisions of the CCCPH, as may be amended from time to time, the provisions of the such laws or regulations, including the CCCPH, shall control.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Policy is for any reason held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Policy. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Policy and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases shall be declared invalid.
B. Purpose. This Policy, as well as the Program and CCCPH, are intended to protect the City’s water system from the possibility of contamination or pollution, by isolating within customer systems such contaminants or pollutants which could backflow or back-siphonage into the City system. This Policy and the Program are also intended to provide for the maintenance of a continuing program of crossconnection control which will systematically and effectively prevent the contamination or pollution of the City system.
C. City Agent. Pursuant to CCCPH Section 3.1.3(a), the City may implement aspects of its Program either directly or by contract or agreement with another party. For informational purposes, the City currently has a contract for implementation with the County of San Luis Obispo (“County”). Water users shall comply with any and all cross-connection related notices or orders issued by the County, or other Citycontracted agent, on the City’s behalf for Program implementation.
13.16.020 - - Definitions
Except as otherwise specified herein, the terms used in this Policy shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 3.1.1. of the CCCPH.
ORDINANCE NO.
PAGE 5
13.16.030 - - Failure to Comply
A. Compliance. Failure to comply with this Policy or the CCCPH shall constitute a violation of the City’s rules and regulations for service. The City may implement corrective actions in the event a water user fails to comply in a timely manner with the City’s provisions regarding installation, inspection, field testing, or maintenance of BPAs required by this Policy and the CCCPH. Such corrective actions include, but are not limited to: (1) denial or discontinuation of water service; (2) installation, inspection, field testing, or maintenance of a BPA at a water user’s premises at the water user’s cost; and (3) instituting legal action to require compliance.
Additionally, the willful failure to comply with the requirements of this Policy or the CCCPH, or the alteration, bypassing, or rendering inoperative a BPA, will result in penalties pursuant to Chapter 1.16 of the Municipal Code.
B. Denial and Discontinuation of Service. Proper installation, inspection, and testing of an approved BPA is a condition for receiving water service to a new connection, and service will be denied until applicable installation and testing requirements have been complied with to the City’s satisfaction. If an approved BPA required by this Policy and applicable State law or regulation (including the CCCPH) is not installed, tested and maintained as required, or if it is found that a BPA has been removed, by-passed, or if an unprotected cross-connection exists on the premises, service of water to any premises shall be discontinued by the City. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or other provisions of this Policy, water service shall be discontinued if City or County Health Department personnel determine that any of the following have occurred:
1. The City’s water system is being polluted or is in immediate danger of contamination from a cross-connection;
2. The BPA has not been installed after due notice has been given;
3. A defect found in the BPA has not been corrected after due notice has been given to make repairs; or
4. The owner of the property has failed to submit written test results after receipt of the City’s letter requesting annual certification of the backflow prevention device.
The City may discontinue or terminate water service for violations of this Policy that do not create an immediate health risk to the public water system after providing 48 hours’ notice of the scheduled discontinuance. The City will post such notice in a conspicuous location on the property and make a good faith effort to contact an adult person at the property by telephone or in person. Notwithstanding the above, the City may discontinue or terminate water service without advanced notice anytime a condition exists which creates an immediate health risk to the public water system.
C. Restoration of Service. Service will not be restored until the BPA has been installed or repaired at the customer’s expense and is in good working order, the
ORDINANCE NO.
PAGE 6
cross-connection is abated to the satisfaction of the City, or the violation is otherwise corrected or remediated. The City may require a fee to reinstate service after such a turnoff.
13.16.040 - Backflow Prevention
A. Backflow Prohibited. No person is permitted to cause, permit, facilitate or maintain an actual or potential cross-connection or any type of connection that permits an actual or potential backflow of water to the City’s system. All installations are subject to inspection and regulation by the City for the purpose of avoiding the possibility of backflow. Backflow prevention devices shall be installed by customers when required by State law or regulation, the State Health Department, or by the City, in accordance with this Policy and State law or regulation (including the CCCPH). The cost thereof shall be borne by the customer.
B. Installation of Approved BPA. No person is permitted to install, maintain, or allow a metered water service connection to any premises served by the City unless the City system is protected in conformance with applicable State law or regulation (including the CCCPH) and this Policy. Any person who is required to install an approved BPA pursuant must install, maintain, inspect and test such assembly in accordance with applicable State law or regulation (including the CCCPH) and this Policy at the customer’s own expense and within the time specified for installation, which is generally no more than 60 days from the initial notification to the customer.
Every BPA required by law, regulation, or this Policy must be of model and size approved by the City. Failure, refusal or inability on the part of the customer to install said assembly or assemblies constitutes grounds for discontinuing water service to such metered or non-metered water service connections until such assembly or assemblies have been properly installed.
C. Entry and Inspection. All customer systems and premises shall be open for inspection at all reasonable times to authorized representatives of the City to enable the City to inspect BPAs and ascertain the existence of cross-connections or other structural or sanitary hazards, including violations of the cross-connection rules and regulations in this Policy. When such a condition or violation becomes known, the Director of Public Works or designee shall deny or discontinue service to the premises, in accordance with this Policy. Water service will be discontinued until the customer has corrected the condition(s) in conformance with State laws and City requirements relating to plumbing and water supplies, and with regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
D. Levels of Protection Required
1. Customers shall install BPAs as required in this Section. BPAs installed must be no less protective than that which is commensurate with the degree of hazard at a user premises, as specified in this Policy and the CCCPH (see CCCPH Appendix D) and as determined based on the results of the hazard assessment conducted pursuant to CCCPH section 3.2.1. The hazard assessment conducted pursuant to CCCPH Section 3.2.1, once complete, is
ORDINANCE NO.
PAGE 7
incorporated herein by reference to establish hazard levels customers must account for.
2. Customers shall at all times protect the City system from high hazard crossconnections through premises containment, through the use of AG(s) or RP(s). For temporary service connections to fire hydrants, and for water outlets used for supplying ships and vessels at piers or waterfronts, customers shall utilize RP protection. Customers shall comply with any additional requirements or degrees of protection for particular high hazard cross-connections set forth in CCCPH Appendix D.
3. A swivel-ell may be appropriate for use instead of an AG, subject to City approval at City’s discretion, if all of the criteria listed in CCCPH section
3.2.2(d) are met.
4. Unless an exception applies, customers shall protect the City system with no less than DC protection for a user premises with a fire protection system, within 10 years of adoption of the CCCPH. Exceptions are as follows:
a. A high hazard cross-connection fire protection system (including those that may utilize chemical additions or an auxiliary water supply) must have at least RP protection.
b. A BPA is not needed for a low hazard fire protection system on a residential user premises if the City determines all of the criteria listed in CCCPH section 3.2.2(e)(3) are satisfied.
c. If the City identifies alternatives in its Plan, pursuant to CCCPH section 3.2.2(e)(2), for existing premises that cannot timely comply with DC protection requirements, such alternatives may apply unless the SWRCB disapproves.
E. Backflow Prevention Assembly Standards.
1. Each AG must meet the requirements in Table 1, Minimum Air Gaps for Generally used Plumbing Fixtures, page 4 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) A112.1.2- 2012(R2017) (See Appendix B of CCCPH).
2. Each replaced or newly installed PVB, SVB, DC, and RP must be approved through both laboratory and field evaluation tests performed in accordance with at least one of the following: (1) Standards found in Chapter 10 of the Manual of Cross-Connection Control, Tenth Edition, published by the University of Southern California Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research; or (2) certification requirements for BPAs in the Standards of ASSE International current as of 2022 that include ASSE 1015- 2021 for the DC, ASSE 1048-2021 for the DCDA & DCDA-II, ASSE 1013- 2021 for the RP, and ASSE 1047-2021 for the RPDA & RPDA-II and must have the 1YT mark. BPAs must not be modified following approval. A BPA
ORDINANCE NO.
PAGE 8
tester shall notify the City if a BPA has been modified from the CCCPH section 3.3.1(b) approval.
3. BPAs shall comply with any additional City construction and installation standards that are more stringent than State law.
F. Backflow Prevention Assembly Installation Criteria.
1. BPAs must be installed in accordance with any and all criteria and requirements set forth in CCCPH Section 3.3.2.
2. Except as otherwise provided and required by the CCCPH, approved BPAs shall be installed and located as close as practical to the customer’s service connection, or at a location approved by the Director of Public Works or designee, and all approved BPAs shall be installed before the first branch line leading off the service.
3. All BPAs shall be installed in the orientation for which they are designed.
4. All BPAs shall be installed in a manner and location that facilitates their proper operation, maintenance, testing, and inspection.
5. All BPAs shall be installed in a manner that will protect them from weatherrelated conditions such as flooding and freezing.
6. All BPAs shall be installed at locations that are readily accessible.
7. All BPAs shall be installed in compliance with applicable safety regulations.

Through implementation of this section, the City will ensure compliance with CCCPH section 3.3.3, governing field testing and repair of BPAs and inspection of air-gap separations. The City will also comply with and ensure compliance with the procedures for testing identified in its Plan.
B. Customer Testing
1. Testing by Customer. The customer will own the approved BPA and will have full responsibility for annual testing (or more often if required by the City) and other testing in compliance with this Policy and CCCPH section
3.3.3, as well as maintenance, repair and retesting, and for providing the City with proper records and test data. The customer shall also field test all BPAs following installation, repair, depressurization for winterizing, or permanent relocation. Air-gap separations must be visually inspected at least annually.
ORDINANCE NO.
PAGE 9
All costs are the customer’s responsibility as owner of the BPA. Testers must use the County’s designated online testing portal to submit test results and must comply with applicable County requirements for submitting test results.
2. Service is Contingent. The City will not provide continuous water service to a water user with a newly installed BPA until the City (or City’s agent) has inspected the BPA to determine compliance and until the City receives passing field tests. The water user is responsible for providing the City and its agents with access to the property and with passing field tests to receive service.
3. Annual Testing Notices. Annual testing/inspection notices will be mailed to the City’s customers giving them 30 days to test/inspect, and repair if necessary, their assembly and furnish the test/inspection and repair data to the City and County. If customers fail to furnish adequate test/inspection data within the 30 day period, the City will commence proceedings to terminate water service in accordance with this Policy. Nothing in this section precludes the City from terminating service without notice, where the City determines that a condition exists that creates an immediate health risk to the public water system.
4. Certified Testers. Air-gap separations must be visually inspected by certified backflow prevention assembly testers or certified cross-connection control specialists. Other tests required by this section must be conducted by certified BPA testers approved by the City.
5. Additional Tests. Additional tests shall be conducted as frequently as necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the BPAs and in any event not less frequently than once a year.
6. Failed Tests. In the event a BPA is found to be unsatisfactory, the Director of Public Works or his/her designee shall take immediate steps to ensure that corrective measures are accomplished and/or service terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Policy. BPAs that fail field tests/inspections must be repaired or replaced by the customer within 30 days of notification from the tester of the failure. The City may allow extensions if included as part of the City’s Plan.
7. Backflow Incidents. BPA testers shall notify the City and County as soon as possible (within 24 hours maximum) if a backflow incident or an unprotected cross-connection is observed at the BPA or prior to the user premises during field testing. The City will immediately conduct an investigation and discontinue service to the user premises pursuant to this Policy if a backflow incident is confirmed, and water service will not be restored to that user premises until the City receives a confirmation of a passing BPA field test from a BPA tester and the City determines the BPA is protecting the City.
ORDINANCE NO.
PAGE 10
C. Approved Testers. The City shall maintain copies of the County of San Luis Obispo’s list of approved certified BPA testers (“Approved Tester List”). Only testers from the Approved Tester List may be used for any testing and inspection.
Only test results received from testers on the Approved Tester List will be considered valid.
D. Testing, Inspection and Repair Records. Each customer who is required to install, test, inspect, maintain, or repair an approved backflow prevention device must maintain records of such tests, inspections, repairs and overhaul for three years and must provide a copy of the records to the City on request.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Matthew Downing, City Manager
Bill Robeson, Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Works Nicole Valentine, Director of Administrative Services
Shannon Sweeney, City Engineer
Theresa Wren, Capital Improvement Projects Manager
Aleah Bergam, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Ten Year Capital Improvement Program, Measure E-24 Local Sales Tax Fund Expenditure Program, and Measure O-06 Local Sales Tax Fund Expenditure Program
DATE: May 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution approving the 10-Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2026-27 through Fiscal Year 2035-36; and
2) Find that the approval of the Resolution is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under State CEQA Guidelines, Section §15061(b)(3), as such approval does not have the potential to result in an effect on the environment.
The approval does not commit the City to any of the identified projects in the CIP. Each individual project in the plan will be subject to CEQA review as required by law. Secondly, this action constitutes an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in a physical change in the environment and is therefore not subject to CEQA pursuant to Section §15378(b)(5).
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The proposed 10-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget allocates $129.4 million for projects from various funding sources from Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 through FY 2035-36. During the FY 2026-27 Budget, it is anticipated that $11.7 million will be allocated for CIP projects. Of the $11.7 million, $5.8 million is from the Measure E-24 Local Sales Tax Fund, and $2 million is from the Measure O-06 Local Sales Tax Fund.
The CIP projects will be delivered using City staff time, consultants, and contractors. As projects are developed and detailed, the impact on financial and personnel resources will be determined and included in future Staff Reports for individual projects.
Item 11.b.
City Council
Ten Year Capital Improvement Program, Measure E-24 Local Sales Tax Fund Expenditure Program, and Measure O-06 Local Sales Tax Fund Expenditure Program
May 12, 2026
BACKGROUND:
The City’s budget provides funding for all City services, infrastructure investments, and activities performed during each fiscal year. The two major components of the budget are ongoing operations and capital improvement projects, or one-time expenditures. Capital project needs often involve a multi-year approach, with design and survey work occurring in one year, with construction in the following years. Depending on complexity, capital projects can span several years.
On May 13, 20251, the City Council adopted its first 10-Year CIP framework, a change intended to improve long-range financial planning, infrastructure forecasting, and alignment with strategic goals. During each budget cycle, all capital projects are reviewed and prioritized against then-current needs and available funding.
On June 10, 20252, staff presented the FY 2025-27 Biennial Budget and 10-Year CIP Budget for approval, including adopting the FY 2025-27 CIP Budget and making appropriations for the amount budgeted.
The City is entering the second year of a two-year budget, referred to as the Mid-Cycle Update. The purpose of this Mid-Cycle Update is to:
1. Update revenue projections as economic data becomes available;
2. Update expenditures as more accurate costs become available; and
3. Provide adjustments for projects that have been funded through other sources.
After receiving input regarding the updated 10-Year CIP Budget presented in this report, staff will take the City Council’s direction and incorporate it in the preliminary Mid-Cycle Budget presentation scheduled for the May 26, 2026, Council meeting.
Enterprise Funds for water and sewer are included in this report to the degree that their budgets reflect the capital improvement projects necessary to sustain those operations.
Enterprise budgets are developed in close coordination with the ten-year water and sewer master plans and the projected revenue generation of the funds based on adopted rates.
Enterprise operating budgets will be presented to the City Council with the draft operating budgets of other funds.
The Measure O-06 Sales Tax Fund supports both operating and capital needs relating to transportation, public safety, and infrastructure. Approximately 60% of the revenue funds capital programs, and the remaining approximately 40% funds public safety programs.
The 10-Year revenue and expenditure plan provided in Attachment 2 is prepared in order to support the multi-year nature of the capital projects funded with revenue from the 10-

May 12, 2026
Year Measure O-06 Sales Tax Fund and to provide an opportunity for Council and the public to review and revise the proposed uses of the funding.
The proposed Measure E-24 Funding Allocation Plan outlines the City’s approach to allocating Measure E-24 revenues toward key infrastructure, including the Pavement Management Plan (PMP) and sidewalk improvements, consistent with the intent of the Measure and direction previously provided by the City Council. The 10-Year revenue and expenditure plan provided in Attachment 3 is prepared in order to support the multi-year nature of the capital projects funded with revenue from the 10-Year Measure E-24 Sales Tax Fund and to provide an opportunity for Council and the public to review and revise the proposed uses of the funding.
Review and Recommendations by Oversight Bodies
On April 17, 20263, the Citizen’s Sales Tax Oversight Committee reviewed the Measure E-24 10-Year Revenue and Expenditure Plan and recommended that the City Council approve the proposed use of Measure E-24 Local Sales Tax funds.
On May 5, 20264, the CIP was provided to the Planning Commission for determination of consistency with the City’s General Plan.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Approach to Analysis and Prioritization of CIP
A systematic approach to identifying and prioritizing projects was implemented for the proposed 10-Year CIP Budget. Department Directors submitted requests for capital improvement projects, including costs, schedule, and priority (low, medium, and high). A diverse team of City staff from the City Manager’s Office, Administrative Services, Engineering, Community Development, Police, and Public Works (the CIP team) attended a series of collaborative workshops to discuss the requested capital improvement projects in consideration of many factors including:
Safety
Community benefit
Funding source
Funding schedule i.e., timeframe for completion before external funding expires Staff capacity
Urgency – consideration of deferred maintenance costs and/or end of useful life Number of projects per department i.e., water, streets, parks, fire, police etc.
The CIP team used the factors listed above to evaluate proposed projects. The workshops resulted in a 10-Year CIP plan that is provided in Attachment 1, Exhibit A.

CIP Projects Completed in FY 2025-26
Many projects in the CIP take more than one fiscal year to complete, and each year progress is made toward completion of these projects. The following CIPs have been completed or are anticipated to be completed during FY 2025-26:
New Play Structure – Parkside Park
Traffic Way Bridge Replacement Project
Financial Management Software Phase II – Payroll and HR Modules Police Department Emergency Operations Center Upgrade Guardrail Improvements
Striping Improvements
Bridge Street Bridge Habitat Mitigation
Water Main and Service Replacements
Sidewalk Improvements
Overview
This 10-Year CIP outlines anticipated City infrastructure improvements for fiscal years FY 2026-27 through FY 2035-36 and serves as a public information document to advise residents and property owners on how the City plans to address significant capital needs.
It contains information about the scope, location, and funding for these projects. Each year, the overall goal for capital improvements and the means for accomplishing them are assessed. Every project in the plan has been considered for its financial feasibility, environmental impact, conformance with previously adopted plans, priorities established by the City Council, and ability to meet public needs. The CIP totals $129,380,435. It is a flexible plan that can be altered as conditions, funding, priorities, and regulations change. The CIP is divided into nine categories: Bridges, Drainage, Parks & Play Structures, Public Facilities, Sewer, Sidewalks, Streets and Transportation, Technology, and Water.
Funding Sources
All funding sources that may be used for various capital improvements are reviewed each year. Much of the work to develop the CIP focuses on balancing available resources with the identified capital needs. There are limited sources of funding available for capital improvements; some sources, such as Development Impact Fees (DIF), have restrictions on their use within broad categories. The City continues to aggressively seek grants for a wide variety of needs. These grants are only available for specific projects and purposes, and are often cyclical and competitive. However, they represent a significant addition to local funds and are the most viable source to fund new improvements, allowing internal funds to be kept available for existing assets. Internal funds are also necessary for leverage and matching fund requirements of grants.

Figure 1: FY 2026-27 through FY 2035-36 Capital Improvement Projects by Funding Source
Measure O-06 Sales Tax Fund
Revenue for the Measure O-06 Sales Tax Fund is generated by a half-cent (0.5%) sales tax approved by Arroyo Grande voters in 2006.
The City has consistently used these funds for the four purposes originally identified:
infrastructure improvements, including streets, drainage, creek systems, and IT infrastructure; transportation projects; public safety needs; and facility upgrades to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
Item 11.b.
City Council
Ten Year Capital Improvement Program, Measure E-24 Local Sales Tax Fund Expenditure Program, and Measure O-06 Local Sales Tax Fund Expenditure Program
May 12, 2026
To ensure accountability, the measure requires: 1) the City to publish and distribute an annual report to each household detailing revenues and expenditures, and 2) a review and public hearing by the City Council every five years to determine whether the sales tax should remain in effect.
Measure O-06 funding continues to support capital needs related to transportation, public safety, and infrastructure. Approximately 52.9% of revenues are allocated to public safety programs, 46.4% to capital programs, and 0.7% to administration. The City also prepares a 10-Year Revenue and Expenditure Plan for Measure O-06, included as Attachment 2.
Measure E-24 Sales Tax Fund
Revenue for the Measure E-24 Sales Tax Fund is generated by a one-cent (1.0%) sales tax approved by Arroyo Grande voters in November 2024 and became operative on April 1, 2025.
Measure E-24 was approved to support a range of City services and infrastructure needs, including repairing potholes; maintaining streets, sidewalks, parks, and aging infrastructure; improving community facilities; supporting local fire protection, police, and 9-1-1 emergency services; and addressing issues such as litter, graffiti, and homelessness.
To ensure transparency and accountability, Measure E-24 revenue and expenditure information will be incorporated into the City’s existing Measure O-06 reporting framework following the close of Fiscal Year 2025-26 on June 30, 2026.
Measure E-24 funding is primarily dedicated to capital needs, particularly those related to transportation and infrastructure. Approximately 99.5% of revenues are allocated to capital programs, with the remaining 0.5% supporting administration which includes auditing the funds and providing the annual reporting to the public. The City also prepares a 10-Year Revenue and Expenditure Plan for Measure E-24, included as Attachment 3.
Summary of 10-Year CIP Budget
As shown in Figure 2, the largest focus of the 10-Year CIP Budget will be related to Streets and Transportation.

May 12, 2026
also includes providing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant pedestrian facilities, such as curb ramps, when triggered by certain maintenance applications that are considered an alteration of a street (e.g., overlays). Halcyon Complete Streets Plan
The Halcyon Complete Streets Plan has been in development since 2013. The Plan intends to develop an improved transportation corridor on Halcyon Road that provides for safe mobility and accessibility for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit vehicles, trucks, and motorists. The Plan proposes multimodal transportation enhancements to address a lack of bicycle lanes, sidewalks, unsignalized crossings, and intersections with poor visibility. Construction of the project is funded with $250,000 in Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds, $750,000 in Community Betterment Grant funds, and $8.1 million in Active Transportation Program (ATP) funds. The key milestone of completion of design, environmental determination, and permitting is expected to be completed in FY 2025-26, and construction is anticipated in FY 2026-27. Huasna Road Roundabout
One of the major circulation improvements identified in the Circulation Element is on East Branch Street at Huasna Road/Corbett Canyon Road, adding a new roundabout to help improve the flow of traffic. This project was included in the Development Impact Fee (DIF) Nexus Study Update and will be funded with the Transportation Facilities DIF.
Sewer and Water Infrastructure
The proposed 10-Year CIP Budget includes $20.5 million for the continuation of replacing, rehabilitating, and maintaining the City’s water and sewer infrastructure.
This includes rehabilitating deteriorating sewer manholes, rehabilitating sewer mains through trenchless lining techniques, replacing, enlarging and installing interconnect water mains, replacing aging water mains, and water reservoir recoating.
Major CIP Starting or Completing in FY 2027-31 (Year 2-5) Community Center Building
The Recreation Services Department Community Center Building is currently identified as a Capital Improvement Project to evaluate the design and cost of a replacement community center. Additionally, potential partnership opportunities will be explored with local non-profit service providers to determine whether the Community Center Building may be replaced with a structure that could serve multiple community needs while also minimizing costs to the City. The overall cost of site, parking lot, and building design, construction documents, site construction,
Item 11.b.
City Council

and building construction are anticipated to reach the $6 million range. An estimated time frame for final design and construction documents is FY 2027-28 with fundraising and construction of the $6 million Community Center beginning in FY 2028-29 and FY 2029-30.
East Grand Streetscape Planning and Construction
The East Grand Streetscape Planning and Construction project provides for safe mobility and accessibility for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit vehicles, trucks, and motorists, in conjunction with the Economic Development Master Plan for E. Grand Avenue.
Branch Mill Road Slope Stabilization
Design of Branch Mill Road Slope Stabilization begins in FY 2029-30, with construction scheduled to begin in FY 2030-31. This is one of the three main streets not addressed in the 13-Year PMP. The design phase of this project will help find solutions to correct the slope that continues to fall into the nearby creek area. Once the City Council has approved the design of the slope stabilization, a contractor will be selected and construction can begin.
Next Steps
The proposed 10-Year CIP, Measure E-24, and Measure O-06 Local Sales Tax Funds expenditure plans are being provided for the City Council's direction on any requested changes. The updated CIP will then be included in the preliminary Mid-Cycle FY 2026-27 Budget that will be presented for consideration and direction on May 26, 2026.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt a Resolution approving the City’s 10-Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2026-27 through Fiscal Year 2035-36; or
2. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Adopting the Resolution will assist staff in developing a 10-Year CIP plan, 10-Year Measure E-24, and Measure O-06 Sales Tax Fund Expenditure Program that is responsive to the City’s emergency and safety needs and to community priorities, while maintaining economic feasibility.
DISADVANTAGES:
There are no disadvantages to providing information for the community, City Council, or staff regarding the CIP, Measure O-06, and Measure E-24 Local Sales Tax Funds.

Capital Improvement Program
OVERVIEW
This Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 10-year plan outlines anticipated City infrastructure improvements for fiscal years (FY) 2026-27 through FY 2035-36 and serves as a public information document, approved by the City Council, to advise residents and property owners on how the City plans to address significant capital needs. It contains information about the scope, location and funding for these projects.
Each year, the overall goal for capital improvements and the means for accomplishing them are assessed. Every project in the plan has been considered for its financial feasibility, public safety, state and federal compliance, environmental impact, conformance to previously adopted plans, priorities established from the City Council, and ability to meet public needs.
The FY 2026-27 through FY 2035-36 CIP totals $129,380,435. It is a flexible plan that can be altered as conditions, funding, priorities and regulations change.
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) represents a 10-year scheduling plan of public infrastructure improvements and expansion, with many of it largely based on previously adopted master plans such as the IT Strategic Plan, Wastewater, and Water Master Plans. The CIP is divided into nine category types – Bridges, Drainage, Parks & Play Structures, Public Facilities, Sewer, Sidewalks, Streets and Transportation, Technology, and Water.
The benefits of adopting a Capital Improvements Plan are that it:
Preserves and improves the infrastructure of Arroyo Grande through capital asset construction, rehabilitation and maintenance,
Maximizes the useful life of capital investments by scheduling major renovations and modifications at the appropriate time in the life cycle of the facility;
Improves coordination and scheduling of public improvements that require more than one year to complete,
Provides an opportunity for long-range financial planning and management, and Offers an opportunity for residents and the community to participate in decisions that impact their quality of life.
With growing demands for project expenditures and a limited amount of revenues available, it has become increasingly difficult to predict the availability of future funding for capital projects. As the population in Arroyo Grande continues to grow, so do the demands on City services. It is imperative that the City formulate and organize the use of our limited dollars wisely to complete this plan and ultimately benefit all citizens of Arroyo Grande.
CAPITAL PROJECT DEFINITION
Capital projects are typically projects that lead to the acquisition, construction, improvement or extension of the useful life of capital assets. Capital assets include but are not limited to land, facilities, buildings, parks, playground
Exhibit A
Capital Improvement Program
equipment, streets, sidewalks, bridges, water, wastewater and storm drain infrastructure, technology systems and equipment, traffic control devices, and many other items that deliver a public benefit for a prolonged period of time.
Capital expenditures and operating expenditures are primarily differentiated by two characteristics: the dollar amount of the expenditure and the useful life of the asset acquired, constructed, or maintained. Capital expenditures typically enhance, acquire or extend the useful life of assets through a variety of activities. Activities that are associated with capital projects include: land acquisition, feasibility and design studies, planning, design, construction, rehabilitation, enterprise technology acquisition, and project Implementation. In general, capital projects in the CIP:
Have a total project cost in the range of $25,000 or more, Consist of construction, renovation, rehabilitation, conversion or demolition of infrastructure or facilities; and
Have a minimum useful life of three years, significantly extend the useful life of a capital asset, or significantly alter the nature, character or use of an asset.
PLANNING PROCESS
Public Works serves as the lead Department for developing the Adopted FY 2026-27 CIP Program and Budget.
Public Works, in conjunction with other Departments, reviewed the City’s capital needs and prioritized project submittals based on established criteria outlined below. Departments submit projects for funding consideration with a priority ranking, and the Public Works Department, Administrative Services Department, and City Manager review and evaluate submittals. Project submittals are also evaluated within the context of available funding limits to ensure that the limited resources available fund priority projects, while at the same time, maintain the City’s existing infrastructure and minimize future replacement costs. The following criteria are taken into consideration:
The ability of the project to meet health, safety, and legal concerns and mandates, The value of the project to prolong the life of City assets or avoid/minimize future repair costs, The benefit the project will provide the community is in support of the goals articulated in the Council Goals,
The potential for the project to generate savings or increase productivity, and The extent to which the project will secure future funds through program planning or grant eligibility.
PROPOSED PLAN
The FY 2026-27 through FY 2035-36 CIP totals $129,380,435. The City completed 9 projects in the previous fiscal year. Completed projects no longer to be shown in the CIP, and New Projects, are listed below:

These capital projects represent the vision for short- and long-range development, maintenance, improvement, and building of new infrastructure and facilities to benefit residents, businesses, property owners, City service operations, and visitors. Because the Plan addresses several years of projects, it will serve as a guidance document and must be adjustable to changes and therefore the capital projects included in the Plan are not guaranteed to be delivered. If priorities change, emergent needs arise, or funding sources evolve, capital projects may be added, modified in scope, or eliminated.
Table 1 depicts the proposed annual appropriations for the 10-year period in each of the major project category, which are primarily major maintenance activities on City infrastructure. The largest categories of projects are for the Streets and Transportation, which includes the Pavement Management Program totaling $75.3 million, followed by Water projects totaling $14.7 million, including Water Main and Service Replacement and the Advanced Metering Infrastructure projects. This is followed by $10.2 million for bridge replacement projects, $9.3

million for public facilities, $5.8 million for Sewer projects, $4.7 million for parks & play structures, $4.5 million for sidewalks, $3.4 million for drainage, and $1.5 million for technology projects. It should be noted that the types of projects are based on the best fit and may cover multiple project types.
Table 1 lists the types of projects and their total amounts by fiscal year for FY 2026-27 through FY 2035-36. Table 1 is followed by Chart 1 illustrating the types of projects over the entire 10-year CIP.

Exhibit A
Capital Improvement Program
Capital projects are scheduled throughout the 10-year plan only those projects with activity scheduled during the current FY 2026-27, are adopted as part of the City’s Mid-Cycle Budget Update process. Projects slated for subsequent years may be adjusted to reflect changes in priority or funding. Preparation of the CIP is a result of considerable effort from staff in all departments in the City. Each year staff reassesses overall goals for capital improvements, and the means for accomplishing them.
FUNDING
All funding sources that may be used for various capital improvements are reviewed each year. Much of the work to develop the CIP focuses on the balancing of available resources with the identified capital needs. Consideration must be given to factors such as annual revenue projections from various sources, restrictions on the uses of certain funds, legal limitations on debt capacity, and City policies relative to project funding.
There are limited sources of funding available for capital improvements, some sources like Development Impact Fees (DIF) have restrictions on their use within broad categories, which are described below. For this reason, outside grants are a significant source of funding for capital projects and are typically needed to advance major capital investments.
Internal Sources
Measure O-06 Sales Tax Fund (Fund 120): This fund accounts for the revenues derived from Measure O 2006 Sales Tax, a local 1/2% sales tax approved by the City's voters in November 2006.
Measure E-24 Sales Tax Fund (Fund 140): This fund accounts for the revenues derived from Measure E 2024 Sales Tax, a local 1% sales tax approved by the City's voters in November 2024.
Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Fund (Fund 220): On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed SB1, known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 increases gasoline taxes and vehicle registration fees to address deferred maintenance on the State highway system and the local street and road system. These additional taxes are deposited by the State Controller into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA).
State COPS Block Grant Fund (Fund 271): This fund accounts for the receipt and use of monies from the State of California restricted to the purchase of police equipment and technology for crime prevention.
Sewer Fund (Fund 612): This fund is used to account for maintenance of sewer lines connecting City residents to the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District sewer treatment plant. Money is collected from utility bills paid by customers.
Water Fund (Fund 640): This fund is used to account for the activities associated with the transmission and distribution of potable water by the City to its users. Money is collected from utility bills paid by customers.
In-Lieu Parking Fee Fund (Fund 751): This fund accounts for revenue derived from in-lieu fees charged to businesses when using parking spaces within the Village parking lots.
Exhibit A
Capital Improvement Program
Development Impact Fee (DIF) Sources
Fire Facilities DIF (Fund 210): This fund accounts for impact fees collected from developers for the expansion of the existing fire station in order to serve future development.
Police Facilities DIF (Fund 212): This fund accounts for impact fees collected from developers for the expansion of the existing police facility in order to serve future development Park Facilities DIF (Fund 213): This fund accounts for the receipts of park-in-lieu fees (Quimby) and grant revenues that are used for construction, park acquisition, and development of park facilities.
Park Improvement DIF (Fund 214): Impact fees collected from developers for park improvements are to be used to maintain the adopted level of service for neighborhood and community parks of 4.0 acres per thousand population. This fund accounts for the receipt and use of these monies.
Recreation Facilities DIF (Fund 215): This fund accounts for impact fees collected from developers and used for recreation facilities in order to maintain the adopted level of service of recreation/community center facilities of 542 square feet per thousand population.
Traffic Signalization DIF (Fund 222): This fund accounts for traffic signalization assessment levied against developments for the future cost of traffic signals.
Transportation Facilities DIF (Fund 224): This fund accounts for transportation facilities fees paid to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by maintaining the existing level of public services for existing and future residents within the City.
Storm Drain Facilities DIF (Fund 231): This fund accounts for impact fees paid by development and are restricted to improving storm drains within the City.
Sewer Facility DIF (Fund 634): This fund is used to account for the accumulation of sewer facility revenues to be used in capital improvement projects in the City. Money is collected from development to offset the impacts new development has on the sewer collection system.
Water Facility DIF (Fund 642): This fund is used to account for the accumulation of water facility revenues to be used in capital improvement projects in the City. Money is collected from development to offset the impacts new development has on the water distribution system.
Other CIP Funding Sources
The City continues to aggressively seek grants for a wide variety of needs. While by their nature, these grants are only available for specific projects and purposes, and are often cyclical and competitive, they represent a significant addition to local funds. Grants are the most viable source to fund new improvements and allow internal funds to be kept available for existing assets. Internal funds are also necessary for leverage and matching fund requirements of grants.
Exhibit A
Capital Improvement Program
Arroyo Grande receives a significant amount of funding from outside sources. These include grants received from the Active Transportation Program (ATP), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Highway Bridge Program (HBP), and Safe Routes to School (SR2S). Outside grants fund a wide array of projects, including parks, recreational facilities, bicycle and pedestrian facility improvements, bridge reconstruction and retrofits, and transportation and safety projects. Staff continue to seek grants whenever projects are competitive and meet the City’s need to address unfunded priorities.
The FY 2026-27 through FY 2035-36 Capital Improvement Plan has 22 funding sources. The total estimated cost of all projects included in the ten-year plan, is $129,380,435. A summary of the costs by funding source is summarized below. This table is followed by a pie chart illustrating the percentage of each funding source supporting the entire 10-year CIP plan.
