MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Megan Schotborgh, Interim Director of Administrative Services SUBJECT: Statement of Investment Deposits for July 2026 DATE: September 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file the attached report listing investment deposits of the City of Arroyo Grande as of July 31, 2026, as required by Government Code Section 53646(b).

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

There is no funding impact on the City related to these reports. However, the City does receive interest revenue based on the interest rate of the investments. Little to no future staff time is projected.

BACKGROUND:

The Administrative Services department has historically submitted to the City Council a monthly report providing the following information:

1. Type of investment.

2. Financial institution (bank, savings and loan, broker, etc.).

3. Date of maturity.

4. Principal amount.

5. Rate of interest.

6. Current market value for all securities having a maturity of more than 12 months.

7. Relationship of the monthly report to the annual statement of investment policy.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

This report represents the City’s investments as of July 31, 2026, and includes all investments managed by the City. As of July 31, 2026, the investment portfolio complied with all State laws and the City’s investment policy.

Item 9.c.

City Council
Statement of Investment Deposits for July 2026
September 8, 2026

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Approve staff’s recommendation to receive and file the attached report listing the investment deposits;

2. Do not approve staff’s recommendation; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Investments are undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.

DISADVANTAGES:

Some level of risk is present in any investment transaction. Losses could be incurred due to market price changes, technical cash flow complications such as the need to withdraw a non-negotiable Time Certificate of Deposit early, or even the default of an issuer. To minimize such risks, diversification of the investment portfolio by institution and by investment instruments are being used as much as is practical and prudent.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The Statement of Investment Deposits is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because 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: Jessica Matson, Director of Legislative & Information Services/ City Clerk
SUBJECT: Biennial Review and Amendment of Conflict of Interest Code DATE: September 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution approving an amended Conflict of Interest Code for designated positions.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

There are no fiscal or personnel impacts as a result of the proposed action.

BACKGROUND:

The California Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code (“COI Code”). The COI Code designates positions within the City required to file Statements of Economic Interests and assigns disclosure categories specifying the types of financial interests to be reported. Further, the Political Reform Act contains specific provisions setting forth any circumstances under which City employees and officials holding designated positions or falling within categories of designated positions must disqualify themselves from making, participating in the making, or using their official position to influence the making of any decision.

Certain City officials, including the Mayor, members of the City Council, candidates for City offices, members of the Planning Commission, City Manager, City Attorney, and City Treasurer are not governed by the City’s Conflict of Interest Code as they are all otherwise statutorily required to file disclosure statements pursuant to Government Code Section 87200 (commonly known as “87200 filers”). The City’s COI Code and list of designated positions supplement those statutory requirements by including employees, consultants, and members of City advisory bodies who are not 87200 filers. It is important to note that the list of designated positions includes members of the Successor Agency of the Dissolved Arroyo Grande Redevelopment Agency. Because the City Council also serves as board members of this authority, members of the Council are required to include this

Item 9.d.

City Council

position on their Statements of Economic Interest Form 700 when filing their disclosure statements.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

In 1987, the City adopted the State’s standard Conflict of Interest Code by reference, which, along with the Appendix of Designated Positions and the Appendix of Disclosure Categories, constitutes the City of Arroyo Grande COI Code.

Under the Political Reform Act, local agencies are required to review their COI Code biennially to determine whether the COI Code is accurate, or if revisions are needed due to organizational changes, including the creation of new positions, elimination of positions, position title changes, and/or relevant changes in the duties assigned to existing positions.

The City’s COI Code was last updated in September 2024. A review of the designated positions has been completed, and it has been determined that a revision to the City’s Conflict of Interest Appendix of Designated Positions is required at this time.

As of January 1, 2025, Assembly Bill (AB) 1170 requires positions designated in Government Code Section 87200 (members of the City Council and Planning Commission, City Manager, City Attorney, and City Treasurer), to file statements directly with the FPPC through the State’s e-disclosure filing system. This has been reflected in the proposed updated COI Code.

On March 11, 2025
1 , the City Council adopted a Resolution establishing a Citizens’ Sales Tax Oversight Committee (CSTOC) to serve as a key advisory body to the City Council on the allocation and use of E-24 funds. Members of the CSTOC have been added to the COI Code.

On June 10, 20252, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving a reclassification of the Assistant Projects Manager position to an Engineering Technician in the Public Works Department and the creation of a Records and Property Supervisor position in the Police Department. The Assistant Projects Manager position has therefore been removed from the COI Code list of designated positions and the Records and Property Supervisor has been added.

As of January 1, 2026, Senate Bill (SB) 827 requires positions which participate in governmental financial decisions to attend mandatory training. The 87200 filers mentioned above are included along with members of the Tourism Business Improvement District Board, Assistant City Manager, and Finance Manager. These positions now file

directly with the FPPC through the State’s e-disclosure filing system and this has been noted in the COI Code.

On July 28, 20263, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving a reclassification of the Community Services Specialist position to a Code Compliance Coordinator in the Community Development Department. As this position is involved in making, participating in the making, or using their official position to influence the making of any governmental decision, it has been added to the COI Code.

The Recreation Supervisor position has been added to the COI Code due to the involvement in making, participating in the making, or using their official position to influence the making of any governmental decisions.

It is recommended that the changes described above be reflected in the City’s COI Code to ensure that it is current and accurate.

Staff has completed the biennial review of the current COI Code and determined that no other amendments are necessary at this time. The City's COI Code accurately designates all positions that make or participate in the making of governmental decisions; the disclosure categories assigned to those positions accurately require the disclosure of all investments, business positions, interests in real property and sources of income which may foreseeably be affected materially by the decisions made by those designated positions; and the COI Code includes all other provisions required by Government Code Section 87302.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Adopt the Resolution approving an amended Code for designated positions;

2. Modify and adopt the Resolution; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Adoption of the proposed Resolution will meet the requirements of the Political Reform Act concerning biennial review of the City’s COI Code.

DISADVANTAGES:

There are no identified disadvantages related to adoption of the proposed Resolution.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

No environmental review is required for this item.

EXHIBIT A

CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE

FOR THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE
The Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 81000, et seq., requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes.

The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation, 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730, which contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code, which can be incorporated by reference in an agency's code. After public notice and hearing, it may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act.

Therefore, the terms of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference, and along with the attached a ppendices, “A” and “B”, in which positions are designated and disclosure categories are set forth, constitute the conflict of interest code of the City of Arroyo Grande, which is considered the "agency" within the purview of this code.

Designated employees, committees, commissions, boards, and consultants shall file statements of economic interests with the City Clerk of the City of Arroyo Grande, who shall be and will perform the duties of filing officer for the City of Arroyo Grande and who will make the statements available for public inspection and reproduction (Gov. Code Section 81008).

Additional positions identified as someone who manages public investments under SB 827 (members of the Tourism Business Improvement District Board, Assistant City Manager, and Finance Manager), shall file their statements directly with the Fair Political Practices Commission through the State’s e-disclosure filing system pursuant to Government Code Section 87200. Statements of all other designated positions will be retained by the City Clerk in accordance with State law.

Item 9.e.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Scott Hallett, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Support for the City of Paso Robles Proposal for Emergency Medical Services
DATE: September 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution expressing support for the City of Paso Robles in submitting a proposal for the San Luis Obispo County emergency medical services contract.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

No financial impact is projected for this action. Should the proposal submitted by Paso Robles be selected, the participating cities would fund the start-up until reimbursements from Medicare, insurance, and self-pay revenues are received. The estimated cost to the participating cities depends on details ultimately contained in the County’s Request for Proposals (RFP).

BACKGROUND:

The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors holds the statutory authority to contract for ambulance services within the County under the State Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Act. The County is preparing to release a competitive process to award the ambulance services contract, which represents a critical opportunity to modernize and improve EMS delivery Countywide.

Currently, the City of Arroyo Grande, through the Five Cities Fire Authority, is responsible for providing fire, EMS first-response, hazardous materials mitigation, and rescue operations within our jurisdictional boundary. However, ambulance transport services are contracted through the County.

To enhance the current EMS system, the City of Paso Robles is seeking to change the EMS system from the current “private-for-profit” based emergency transportation model to a subcontracting-based “public-private partnership” known as the “Alliance” model. The Alliance Model is a partnership approach to delivering emergency medical services. This model combines the strengths of public agencies to subcontract with a private ambulance provider under one coordinated system.

Item 9.e.

City Council
Support for the City of Paso Robles Proposal for Emergency Medical Services September 8, 2026

The city managers of the seven incorporated cities and the San Luis Obispo County Fire Chiefs Association have unanimously expressed their support for the City of Paso Robles, acting as the Lead Agency, to submit a proposal for the County ambulance services contract. This initiative is intended to foster a community-based EMS model with stronger accountability and transparency.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The Paso Robles-led model will:

1. Provide an innovative EMS delivery model, where the City of Paso Robles serves as the lead agency, subcontracting to a private ambulance provider, with oversight provided by an executive committee made up of the seven cities’ city managers, ensuring transparency and accountability.

2. Enhance service delivery with greater local involvement and oversight.

3. Provide additional funding for EMS-centric programs and allow reinvestment into City EMS services.

4. Foster regional cooperation by uniting the cities, community service districts, and fire agencies in a shared vision for EMS improvement.

5. Support proactive and preventative programs addressing mental health, substance abuse, and services for unhoused community members.

6. Reinvest excess revenues after operational costs back into local communities to improve public health outcomes.

By adopting the prepared Resolution, the City Council is supporting an opportunity for enhanced ambulance services and a more sustainable EMS system that is responsive to the evolving needs of our community. This Resolution allows Arroyo Grande to join other cities in the County in supporting Paso Robles in this process, without committing the City to any further action at this time.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Staff’s recommendation;

2. Modify and adopt the Resolution;

3. Do not adopt the Resolution and provide direction to staff; or

4. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

The innovative EMS delivery model will enable additional funding for EMS-centric programs, better support proactive and preventative programs, and improve transparency and accountability in the EMS system.

DISADVANTAGES:

Participating in the EMS partnership will require an initial start-up investment for operational costs, which will be reimbursed.

Subject: Please Remove From Consent Agenda For Review & Consideration, Item 9e IRONSCALES couldn't recognize this email as this is the first time you received an email from this sender [email protected]
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I am writing to share concerns regarding the proposed resolution supporting the Paso Robles-led Alliance model for countywide ambulance services.

I support the stated goals of improved response-time accountability, better technology and dispatch, expanded behavioral-health resources, greater transparency, and continued improvement in patient care. However, the more fundamental question is whether the City should enter into this new arrangement at all, given the significant financial and operational commitments it could create.

The proposed Alliance would require millions of dollars in startup costs, yet it remains unclear what financial responsibility each participating city would assume or what its maximum potential exposure could be. Before moving forward, the City should understand its responsibility for startup expenses, operating deficits, capital expenditures, fleet replacement, administrative costs, and unforeseen liabilities.

The financial projections also appear to rely significantly on PPGEMT reimbursement revenue. That revenue should be viewed cautiously given potential changes recently considered by CMS that could tie reimbursement more closely to Medicare rates and substantially reduce the revenue anticipated under the Alliance model. The Alliance should be evaluated financially under scenarios in which this revenue is significantly reduced.

There is also an important difference between projected benefits and actual financial obligations. Greater efficiency, additional revenue, and improved services are anticipated, but they have not yet been demonstrated. The costs and liabilities of creating this new system, however, would be very real.

The Council should also consider whether describing the Alliance as a more “local and community-based” model accurately reflects its structure. The Alliance would still subcontract ambulance operations to a private provider, including the proposed involvement of American Medical Response (AMR), a large national ambulance company. This raises a reasonable question about how substantially different the Alliance would be from the existing private-provider model.

The existing ambulance system already provides personnel, equipment, infrastructure, and decades of operational experience without requiring cities to make any startup investment. San Luis Ambulance is also charging $1300.00 less than the maximum rates permitted under the existing County structure.

From: Justin Kelton <[email protected]>

To: City Council <[email protected]>; Matt Downing <[email protected]>; Jessica Matson <[email protected]>; Bill Robeson <[email protected]>

Many of the proposed improvements—including stronger performance standards, better technology, greater transparency, improved response accountability, and expanded specialized services—could potentially be achieved through contractual and operational requirements without creating an entirely new organizational and financial structure.

For these reasons, I believe the City should first determine whether joining the • Total startup costs and each city's financial responsibility. • The City's maximum potential financial exposure.
• Responsibility for operating deficits and future capital expenses. • The impact of potential reductions in PPGEMT reimbursement. • Measurable improvements over the existing ambulance system. • Long-term administrative and operational costs.
• Financial and contractual consequences if a city later withdraws.

This is an important decision involving essential public safety services and potentially significant long-term financial obligations. I respectfully encourage the Council to carefully consider whether the City should support or enter into this arrangement in the first place, and to weigh the demonstrated benefits of the existing system against the projected benefits and potential liabilities of the Alliance.

Thank you for your consideration and your service to the community.

Item 10.a.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Krystin Rice, Director of Community Development
BY: Patrick Holub, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Modification of an Open Space Easement Located at 420 Canyon Way DATE: September 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution approving Plot Plan Review 26-008 for a modified Open Space Agreement located at 420 Canyon Way; applied for by Andrew and Jeannett Gibson; and 2) Determine that this project is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines regarding minor alterations in land use limitations that do not result in any changes in land use or density.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The subject property is Lot 38 of Tract 2265, commonly known as the Village Glen Subdivision. The lot has an overall size of 4.19 acres, with a buildable area of 1.01 acres.

The remainder of the site is encumbered by an open space easement.

On December 21, 1999, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 99-1727, approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2265 and Planned Unit Development No. 97- 563, subject to specific conditions of approval. Condition of Approval #24 required the recordation of open space easements on each of the four large residential lots within the subdivision, including the subject property. These open space easements designated building envelopes for each of these sites and prohibited specific actions from being performed outside of the envelopes. The purpose of the open space easement is to preserve and conserve the natural scenic beauty and natural condition of the land surrounding the developable areas. The applicant has applied for plot plan review to modify the building envelope for Lot 38. Figure 1 below shows the proposed modification to the building envelope.

Item 10.a.

City Council
Modification of an Open Space Easement Located at 420 Canyon Way September 8, 2026

Figure 1: Proposed Modification to Building Envelope
On August 18, 2026, the Planning Commission adopted a Resolution recommending that the City Council approve Plot Plan Review 26-008.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The proposed project will amend the open space easement that encumbers the subject property to change the configuration of the designated building envelope. The proposal changes the shape of the building envelope, and the amount of buildable area will remain the same. The subject property currently has a building envelope that confines development to the portion of the property directly adjacent to Canyon Way.

The modified building envelope will facilitate construction of a swimming pool and outdoor accessory structures to accompany the existing single-family residence. The modification of the building envelope will preserve the grove of trees located north of the primary residence while relocating a portion of the buildable area to an area behind the primary

Item 10.a.

City Council
Modification of an Open Space Easement Located at 420 Canyon Way September 8, 2026

residence. The modification of the building envelope will allow the swimming pool to be built in conformance with AGMC Section 16.52.200, which requires that pools are located at least 50 feet from the front property line to maintain the predominant residential character of the neighborhood. Even with the modified building envelope and the proposed accessory structures, the proposal would preserve the site’s scenic beauty and openness. Given the reduction in visual impact of the proposed accessory structures and the preservation of the existing trees on the north end of the parcel, staff supports the modification to the buildable area and open space easement. The proposed modifications are included as Exhibit B of the Resolution.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Staff’s recommendation;

2. Modify and adopt the Resolution approving the project;

3. Do not adopt a Resolution; or

4. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Approval of the application would result in a modified building envelope for the subject property, which would allow for further development of the property with less impacts to the trees on the property than would be necessary with the configuration of the existing building envelope. In addition, the modified building envelope will provide conformance with development standards for the proposed pool with regard to its placement on the lot.

DISADVANTAGES:

Approval of the application would result in minor grading to the hillside to the west of the existing primary residence.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Staff has reviewed the proposed project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines regarding minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density. The subject property has an average slope of 13%.

Modifying the building envelope would allow the proposed project to avoid removing trees while preserving the size of the original building envelope.

Further, none of the exceptions to the Class 5 exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply. The City Council finds that action is not subject to exceptions to the Class 5 exemption because the project will not occur in a sensitive environmental resource area or hazardous waste site; will not result in a significant cumulative impact; there are no unusual circumstances indicating that the project may have a significant effect on the environment or a state scenic highway; and the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

ARROYO GRANDE APPROVING PLOT PLAN REVIEW
CASE NO. 26-008 FOR A MODIFIED OPEN SPACE
AGREEMENT LOCATED AT 420 CANYON WAY; APPLIED

FOR BY ANDREW AND JEANNETT GIBSON
WHEREAS, on December 21, 1999 the Planning Commission of the City of Arroyo Grande adopted Resolution No. 99-1727, approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2265 and Planned Unit Development No. 97-563; and
WHEREAS, conditions of approval for the project required the recordation of open space easements in favor of the City of Arroyo Grande over portions of four (4) lots located in Tract 2265; and
WHEREAS, the open space easements designated building envelopes for each of the subject lots and restricted activities on areas outside of these envelopes; and WHEREAS, changes to the location of the building envelopes are subject to review and approval of the Community Development Director; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director determined a plot plan review was necessary to evaluate the proposed modification to the building envelope and open space easement for Lot 38 of Tract 2265 and required the approval of the City Council, following a recommendation by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the applicant submitted an application for plot plan review for the modification of the building envelope for Lot 38 of Tract 2265; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the project at a duly noticed public hearing on August 18, 2026, and recommended that the City Council approve the project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande reviewed the project at a dulynoticed public hearing on September 8, 2026.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande hereby resolves, finds, and determines as follows:

1. Recitals. All recitals above are true, correct, and incorporated herein by reference.

2. Environmental Review. The City Council reviewed the project in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the Arroyo Grande Rules and Procedures for Implementation of CEQA and has determined that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section

RESOLUTION NO.

PAGE 2
15305 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 5 exemption), which applies to minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20 percent where the project does not result in any changes in land use or density.

The subject property has an average slope of 13%. Modifying the building envelope would allow the proposed project to avoid removing trees while preserving the size of the original building envelope.

Further, none of the exceptions to the Class 5 exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply. The City Council finds that action is not subject to exceptions to the Class 5 exemption because the project will not occur in a sensitive environmental resource area or hazardous waste site; will not result in a significant cumulative impact; there are no unusual circumstances indicating that the project may have a significant effect on the environment or a state scenic highway; and the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

3. Plot Plan Review Findings. The City Council finds, after due study, deliberation, and public hearing, that the following circumstances exist:
a. The proposed project is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and programs of the Arroyo Grande General Plan.

The proposed modification to the building envelope for the subject property is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and programs of the Arroyo Grande General Plan and will minimize tree removal that might be necessary for future development on the subject property. Additionally, the resulting building envelope will be the same size as the original building envelope and maintains the original intent of the open space easement because it will not result in additional tree removal or result in development of sensitive natural environment.
b. The proposed project conforms to applicable performance standards and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare.

The proposed project conforms to conditions of approval for Tract 2265 by allowing for changes to the location of the building envelope on the subject property and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare by maintaining restrictions on the use of property outside of the building envelope and reducing tree removal necessary for further development of the subject property.
c. The physical location or placement of the use on the site is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.

The modified location of the building envelope will enable construction of a

swimming pool and outdoor accessory structures behind the primary residence in accordance with the development standards for this zone and compatible with the pattern of development in the surrounding neighborhood. The modification of the building envelope also substantially reduces the need to remove trees for further development of the subject property.

4. Approval. The City Council hereby approves Plot Plan Review Case No. 26-008, with the above findings and subject to the conditions as set forth in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and authorizes the City Manager to execute a First Amendment to Open-Space Agreement Granting an Open Space Easement to the City of Arroyo Grande, as presented to the City Council on September 8, 2026 and as shown in Exhibit “B”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
