Atascadero City Council
May 12, 2026

05/12/26 | Item E11 | Staff Report
Real, while the City would be responsible to construct roundabouts at the northbound and southbound US 101 ramps.

The City began the Caltrans project delivery
process for the roundabouts at the US 101 ramps
when Council awarded a contract with Wallace
Group (Wallace) for $562,400 on November 27,
2012, to prepare Project Initiation Documents
(PID) – the first of four phases of the Caltrans
approval process for the project. This is a
cumbersome process, and each phase can take
several years or longer to complete. In addition,
Council authorized an agreement with Caltrans
for $104,000 on March 26, 2013, for engineering
review and environmental studies for the project.

Wallace completed the PID phase and Council
authorized Wallace to proceed with the Project
Approval/Environmental Documentation (PA/ED)
phase for $798,500 on September 22, 2015. At
that meeting, project funding was also discussed
since construction cost estimates for the project had increased from $4.5 million at the time of Walmart approval to over $12 million. The Del Rio Specific Plan conditioned Marketplace to contribute $2.4 million toward the City roundabout project and SLOCOG was pursuing a self-help sales tax measure for the 2016 ballot. The Council agreed to keep the project moving forward to address the traffic impacts expected from Walmart and Marketplace projects.

Project and Development Revisions:

Walmart and their consultant, Kimley-Horn, were busy designing and preparing construction plans for both on-site and off-site (public) improvements during this time. There was close coordination between Kimley-Horn, Wallace, and City staff to ensure the roundabout design and

05/12/26 | Item E11 | Staff Report
plans conformed and met design standards. The Walmart on-site and off-site plans for the El Camino Real roundabout and frontage improvements were roughly 95% complete when Walmart announced they were no longer pursuing the project in February 2017 due to the retail industry shift from “brick and mortar” to online shopping. This announcement had a ripple effect on other proposed development along the Del Rio Road corridor and triggered a reassessment of the potential land uses in the vicinity, traffic impacts, and if the need for roundabouts to mitigate traffic impacts was still valid. City staff began evaluating various land use scenarios in the vicinity of Del Rio Road and US 101, including those vacant parcels on El Camino Real (Walmart site, Annex East/Marketplace, Annex West), as well as the vacant church property on the west side of the interchange that is now the Barrel Creek development (see below). W-Trans was hired to assist the City in evaluating traffic impacts from the various scenarios and combinations of land use development for the four sites.

City staff discussed changing land use trends and potential land uses in the Del Rio Road/US 101 vicinity with Council at their October 23, 2018, meeting. Staff continued refining the likely potential land use scenarios based upon proposed development applications and developer input, and W-Trans prepared a traffic sensitivity analysis for the interchange in 2019 focusing on traffic delay time, vehicle queuing, and whether or not Del Rio Specific Plan mitigation measures are appropriate and sensitive with the changing land use scenarios. The analysis concluded that roundabouts were no longer needed and alternative interchange improvements could accommodate the anticipated land use scenarios. Although it is no longer anticipated, a scenario for a regional shopping component was also evaluated (if Walmart restarted or to accommodate a future major retailer) and determined that the bridge overpass would need to be widened to four lanes and a second left-turn lane added from northbound El Camino Real to westbound Del Rio Road. The 2019 analysis was revised in 2020 to incorporate regional growth and a 20-year forecast in order to allow Caltrans to determine impacts to their facilities. This updated analysis was presented to Council on March 10, 2020, and Council approved the following recommendations:

1. Abandoned work on the roundabout design for the project.

05/12/26 | Item E11 | Staff Report

2. Direct staff to pursue alternative interchange improvements and prepare concept plans (and setback plan lines) that incorporate adding a westbound right-turn lane on Del Rio Road to northbound US 101 ramp, signal modifications, and lane reconfigurations on El Camino Real.

3. Direct staff to investigate a plan line for a second phase to Del Rio Road/US 101 interchange associated with bridge widening to determine future land acquisition.

4. Direct staff to draft amendments to the Del Rio Specific Plan.

Wallace developed concept plans and plan line setbacks for Del Rio Road/El Camino Real/US 101 and Council reviewed and approved plans east of US 101 on September 22, 2020, and west of US 101 on April 13, 2021 (plans attached). Future land acquisition was identified on the north side of Del Rio Road between the US 101 and El Camino Real to accommodate a future bridge widening for the future regional shopping land use component. Council also reviewed and approved amendments to the Del Rio Specific Plan at their September 22, 2020, meeting. The original specific plan gave development priority to the Walmart project and prevented other developments within the specific plan area from occurring until the proposed roundabout at El Camino Real was constructed. The amended specific plan redefined the mitigations and does not give priority to any one project but instead, allows building permits to be issued on a “first come, first served” basis. The fair share impact fee for the Specific Plan area toward interchange improvements was also modified to $416.34 per anticipated daily vehicle trip determined at the time of building permit issuance and is adjusted with updated construction costs at the time of building permit issuance.

Completed Improvements:

Many of the Del Rio Road and El Camino Real corridor improvements (east of US 101) that were identified in the 2020 Traffic Sensitivity Study and Amended Del Rio Specific Plan have been completed with private development. Del Rio Commercial (Taco Bell) and Marketplace completed frontage improvements as well as off-site improvements to the Del Rio Road/El Camino Real intersection improvements, which are complete with traffic signal modifications, lane configurations, and lane widening. Right-of-way for a future bridge overpass widening was secured as part of the Del Rio Commercial (Taco Bell) project, and Council authorized an improvement and reimbursement agreement with its developer on July 13,2021, to construct road widening and retaining walls on the north side of Del Rio Road between US 101 and El Camino Real. The only remaining traffic mitigation measures from the Del Rio Specific Plan Update (excluding the regional shopping scenario) is to complete the dedicated right-turn lane from westbound Del Rio Road to northbound US 101 and signal interconnect and timing coordination with El Camino Real and US 101 ramps. Additional frontage and off-site improvements will be made by Del Rio Ranch (former Walmart site) and Barrell Creek as required by their project entitlements.

ANALYSIS
As discussed above, the Del Rio Road/US101 Project scope has morphed since the cancellation of the Walmart project. This has resulted in portions of the alternative design improvements being completed with private development. Since that time, Wallace has assisted the City with the following:

05/12/26 | Item E11 | Staff Report
• Coordination, construction conforms, and review of public improvements for Walmart, Del Rio Commercial, Marketplace, Barrel Creek, 76 Station, Home2Suites, and Tiny Home Motel developments.
• Coordination and design review for traffic sensitivity analysis and Del Rio Specific Plan Update.
• Prepared concept plans and plan lines for Del Rio Road and El Camino Real corridors. • Assisted with Armory land swap activities and preparing draft plans and parcel maps, cost estimates, and exhibits (mid-2021 through 2022).

Wallace has also shifted design work from the roundabout concept to the alternative design improvements as shown on the attached concept plans and plan lines. Work in and around Caltrans right-of-way will require Caltrans approvals including completion of the westbound Del Rio Road to northbound US 101 dedicated right-turn lane and southbound ramp intersection improvements. As previously mentioned, these approvals can take many years to obtain and must meet Caltrans specific delivery requirements. However, construction valued at under $1 million in Caltrans right-of-way can be approved through their encroachment permit process if certain criteria are met. With streamlining the Caltrans review and approval process in mind, coupled with the piecemeal nature of development on the corridor and construction funding uncertainty, City staff and Wallace propose breaking the Del Rio Road/US 101 project into three phases as follows:
• Phase 1 – Del Rio Road/US 101 Northbound Ramp. Work associated with eastbound to northbound dedicated right-turn lane involving extension of retaining wall (Taco Bell drive-thru), road widening and pavement repairs of Del Rio Road and northbound onramp, new traffic signal (northbound off-ramp), guardrail, traffic signs, pavement markings, and signal coordination. This will fulfil the traffic mitigations for planned development in the Del Rio Specific Plan Update (but regional shopping scenario). • Phase 2 – Ramona Road Realignment. Road construction to realign Ramona Road away from the southbound US 101 ramp intersection to the west near Apple Valley subdivision.

Currently, Ramona Road is too close to the southbound ramps and provides no vehicle queueing for eastbound traffic and does not meet intersection design standards. All work under this phase will be outside Caltrans right-of-way, and the City currently owns two parcels that the realignment will be located.
• Phase 3 – Del Rio Road/US 101 Southbound Ramp. Road widening, sidewalk, and edge improvements on Del Rio Road from ramp intersection to realigned Ramona Road, pavement repairs, signal modifications, guardrail, traffic signs, pavement markings, and signal coordination. This work is proposed to follow the Ramona Road Realignment since the current location of Ramona Road triggers additional review by Caltrans making ramp improvements ineligible for approval through the encroachment permit process.

Ongoing and near-future development around the Del Rio Road/US 101 Interchange prompted the City to begin discussions in January of 2025 with Wallace Group to take the conventional intersection design to shovel-ready so that traffic volumes from these developments could be accommodated. These discussions resulted in Wallace Group coordinating with City staff on work scope and preparing a proposal to complete design of all three phases of the project, with the anticipation of beginning construction for the first phase by end of 2027.

05/12/26 | Item E11 | Staff Report
Each of the three phases of the project serve to make improvements to the interchange and adjoining roads that will increase the flow of traffic and reduce travel delays. The three phases have been packaged together in a single design contract to gain efficiency in the production of plans, but the phases will be constructed separately for ease of Caltrans permitting and to smooth out City cash flow. City staff considered putting the project out to formal Request for Proposals (RFP) but ultimately concluded that their intimate knowledge of the project over many years of working with the City made them best qualified for the job. Additionally, Wallace submitted a detailed fee estimate totaling $484,049 with their proposal which was assessed by City staff and is considered reasonable, with little opportunity for City savings if the design were put out to RFP.

If awarded, Wallace’s compensation will be based upon actual labor hours worked plus reimbursable expenses and subconsultant fees.

Design work is expected to take approximately eighteen (18) months to complete all three phases.

Staff anticipate a public bid for the first phase around mid-2027 with construction occurring in late-2027 to mid-2028 timeframe. Staff anticipates that scheduling and funding for construction of Phases 2 and 3 of the project will be determined during the preparation of the FY2027–29 budget cycle.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approving staff’s recommendations will result in budgeted expenditures of approximately $484,049 from the Circulation Fees Fund for the design phase of Phases 1 through 3 of the Del Rio Road/US 101 Operational Interchange Project.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Council can direct staff to solicit a formal RFP for design engineering services for the project, but staff does not recommend this alternative since Wallce Group has extensive experience with the project and their fee is competitive.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Item H1
Department: Public Works
Date: 05/12/26
Placement: Public Hearing
TO: JAMES R. LEWIS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: NICK DE BAR, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER PREPARED BY: RYAN BETZ, PUBLIC WORKS ANALYST
SUBJECT: Proposition 218 Majority Protest Process Relative to Proposed Increase to Wastewater (Sewer) Rates
RECOMMENDATIONS:

Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing to receive all written and verbal testimony regarding the proposed wastewater (sewer) rates and consider the results of protest proceedings in accordance with Proposition 218; and

2. Adopt one of the following resolutions certifying the protest results:
a. For a non-majority protest – Draft Resolution A, certifying that the number of valid written protests were not received from property owners representing a majority of the parcels subject to the proposed rate increase.

OR
b. For a majority protest – Draft Resolution B, certifying that the number of valid written protests were received from property owners representing a majority of the parcels subject to the proposed rate increase.

3. If no majority protest exists, adopt Draft Resolution C, approving proposed wastewater rates effective July 1, 2026.

REPORT IN BRIEF:

The City is proposing to increase wastewater rates in order to accommodate the costs of providing wastewater services due to a number of key factors including but not limited to rising treatment (chemicals and technical analysis) and energy costs; impacts of regulation and legislation; and past and continued critical upgrades and/or replacement of wastewater facilities and infrastructure. A Wastewater Rate Analysis (Analysis) was completed in 2025 that proposed increases to sewer service charges. Increasing wastewater rates must comply with Proposition 218, which requires certain procedures to be followed with regard to “property-related” fee increases imposed by governmental agencies.

The City Council reviewed the proposed wastewater rates at their March 10, 2026, meeting and directed staff to administer the Proposition 218 majority protest process and send out notice of the proposed increases to all property owners connected to the municipal sanitary sewer system.

The Council also set a Public Hearing for May 12, 2026, to consider proposed wastewater rate

5/12/26 | Item H1 | Staff Report
increases and receive any protests from parcel owners subject to the rate increases. If a majority of valid protests are received by the deadline established, the City cannot increase the proposed rates in accordance with Proposition 218. If a majority of protests are not received, the City may move forward with the proposed rate increases.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Atascadero provides wastewater collection and treatment service for nearly all commercial and industrial properties, as well as a portion of the City’s residential population.

Sewered parcels are generally within the more urban core of Atascadero, with approximately 2,000 acres of the roughly 15,000 acres within the City boundary connected to the sewer system.

Within this area, there are approximately 5,640 parcels, with the remainder of the City’s population served by private on-site septic systems. Wastewater services are considered a community investment that helps ensure public health and safety, economic prosperity, and maximizes land use potential and reasonable development and expansion for businesses, residents and other community buildings. The City of Atascadero assumed ownership and operation of the wastewater collection and treatment system from the Atascadero County Sanitation District in 1982 shortly after incorporation (1979). While there have been upgrades, modifications, and additions to wastewater treatment facilities, the overall process has not changed significantly since 1982 and is considered a stabilization pond treatment system. Such systems are no longer permittable or able to be operated or built as a result of the regulatory environment in California.

WASTEWATER FUNDING
Agencies that provide water and wastewater services customarily use water consumption during winter months as a basis for the year-round sewer service charges at a volumetric rate. In Atascadero, customers connected to the City’s sanitary sewer system are billed a fixed charge for the City’s service to collect and treat the wastewater, which is called a sewer service charge or wastewater service charge. This fixed rate methodology is used since the City is not the water supplier and does not have access to individual customer water consumption data without the customer’s or Atascadero Mutual Water Company’s consent. The fixed charge used by the City is based upon Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs), where one EDU is the basis for a single-family residence (SFR) service charge, which is based upon an estimated average daily flow of 240 gallons of wastewater and typical wastewater strength. Other user types are assigned a multiple or fraction of an EDU based upon expected average daily flow and strength of wastewater compared to that of an SFR. For example, an apartment or condo is 0.75 EDUs and charged 0.75 times that of a SFR service charge, and a restaurant with less than 40 seats is four EDUs and charged 4 times that of a SFR service charge. The increased charge for a restaurant or certain other commercial uses is not just based on volume but also on the strength of the wastewater which may include cleaners, other chemical products, and stronger waste materials that impact the treatment process. Currently, there is a total of approximately 8,300 EDUs connected to the City system.

Sewer service charges are collected by placing a levy each year on the property taxes of individual customers, administered by the County of San Luis Obispo. The City provides data to the County including the Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) and the associated sewer service charge being levied on the property. The charge is included as a line item on the customer’s property tax

5/12/26 | Item H1 | Staff Report
statements. Revenue from sewer service charges is paid to the City twice each year. Last year Council adopted the current monthly rate of $57.06 per EDU, which went into effect in July 2025.

This rate was calculated as part of the most recent five-year wastewater rate study, which evaluated costs and revenues for Fiscal Years 2026 through 2031. A previous five-year rate study was conducted in 2019, prior to which wastewater rates had remained unchanged since 1994.

WASTEWATER CAPITAL NEEDS
The City’s wastewater system is comprised of two components: wastewater collection and wastewater treatment. The wastewater collection system is the system of pipes, manholes and lift stations that convey wastewater from individual properties to the wastewater treatment plant. The Wastewater Treatment Plant, also known as the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF), receives and treats all wastewater from the collection system. The WRF was originally constructed in 1980 and is classified as a stabilized pond treatment system. Such systems are no longer permittable or able to be operated or built as a result of the regulatory environment in California. New state regulations require more stringent effluent discharge parameters, effectively prohibiting the continued use of stabilized pond treatment systems and requiring that the City construct a new secondary treatment system and modernize the plant. In addition to the plant improvements, there are also significant upgrades needed to the collection system to replace aging and undersized infrastructure, including lift station and force main replacement projects.

Facing these challenges, the City Manager established a Task Force on Wastewater (Task Force), a cross-section of stakeholders including residents, business owners and developers to learn more about the wastewater system and discuss meaningful solutions. At the November 12, 2025, Council meeting, staff provided an update on the success of the Task Force efforts and the next steps including moving forward with the design for the WRF improvements and modernization, preparing a Customer User Classification Study and considering a FY 26/27 sewer service charge increase for FY26/27. Black & Veatch is currently working on design for the treatment plant improvements, and HDR is currently working on the Customer User Classification Study which is expected to be completed and presented to Council by late 2026. A preliminary cost estimate for plant improvements is also expected by late 2026 which, along with the new customer classifications, will be used in a new wastewater rate study in early 2027.

WASTEWATER RATE ANALYSIS
The City is dedicated to keeping rates low by maintaining lean staffing levels, absorbing increasing operational and maintenance costs, and using reserves when necessary. Tuckfield & Associates, an independent financial consultant, completed a comprehensive wastewater rate study for the City’s wastewater enterprise in April 2025. This study analyzed the City’s wastewater services, wastewater enterprise revenue and revenue requirements, and current rate structure. The study also analyzed and determined the cost of providing wastewater services and their corresponding impacts to customers’ bills. This analysis identified several key factors that result in the proposed rates. These key factors include, but are not limited to:
• Rising treatment and energy costs
• Impacts of regulation and legislation
• Past and continued critical upgrades and/or replacement of wastewater facilities and infrastructure

5/12/26 | Item H1 | Staff Report
Based upon this analysis, the wastewater rate study recommends annual increases of 18.5% for sewer service charges over the next several years to fund the WRF design, operations and maintenance and emergency work in the collection system. Council adopted an 18.5% increase to sewer services charges last year for FY2025/26, and the same amount is proposed for FY2026/27. Staff recognizes that future rate increases, principally related to the investment for the WRF Retrofit and Secondary Treatment Improvement project, will be necessary and the subject of discussion over the upcoming year while working on a comprehensive implementation plan.

The current monthly sewer service charge of $57.06 per EDU (equivalent to a single-family residence) is proposed to increase by $10.54 for a total monthly rate of $67.60 in FY26/27.

Exhibit A to Draft Resolution C (attached) showsthe current and proposed FY26/27 sewer service charges for the various connection user categories. As part of the wastewater rate analysis, the proposed increase for the City of Atascadero was compared to neighboring communities in San Luis Obispo County as of January 2026. The proposed rate is below the median in San Luis Obispo County. While rates would remain below the median over the next two years, required capital improvements to meet regulatory requirements will likely move Atascadero’s rates above the median in the future.

PUBLIC HEARING PROCEDURES/NEXT STEPS:

The Council should open the Public Hearing and receive public comment and protests. Protests must be in writing and contain the required information below, as described in the mailed notice and Resolution 2019-033, which established procedures for the submission and tabulation of protests in connection with Proposition 218 rate hearings:

1. A statement it is a protest against the proposed rate that is the subject of the hearing.

2. Name of the property owner or record customer who is submitting the protest.

3. Identification of assessor's parcel number and/or street address of the parcel with respect to which the protest is made.

4. Original, wet signature and legibly printed name of the property owner or record customer who is submitting the protest.

5. Date the protest was signed.

6. A certification, by the named property owner affirming the contents of the protest are true and correct.

At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Clerk shall tabulate all valid protests received, including those received prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, and shall report the result to the City Council. If the number of protests received is insufficient to constitute a majority protest, then the City Clerk may determine the absence of a majority protest without validating the protests received, but may instead deem them all valid without further examination. Further, if the number of protests received is obviously substantially fewer than the number required to constitute a majority protest, then the City Clerk may determine the absence of a majority protest without opening the envelopes which contain the protests.

If the City Clerk determines that additional time is needed to validate and tabulate the protests because the City Clerk has not made the determination described above, then the City Clerk shall

5/12/26 | Item H1 | Staff Report
so advise the City Council, which may continue the related portion of the meeting to allow the validation and tabulation to be completed on another day or days. If so, then the City Council shall declare the time and place of tabulation, which shall be conducted in a place where interested members of the public may observe the tabulation, and the City Council shall declare the time at which the meeting shall be continued to receive and act on the tabulation report of the City Clerk.

There are 5,637 parcels connected to the sanitary sewer system and subject to the proposed rate increases. Therefore, there needs to be 2,819 or more valid protests for the majority protest to occur, whereby no proposed rate increase may be adopted. After the City Clerk determines the results of the protest process, the City Council will adopt one of two Draft Resolutions setting forth the results of the protest process. If the majority of property owners do not protest, the City Council may go forward with approving the proposed rate increases. In accordance with Title 7, Chapter 10 (7-10.001) of the Municipal Code, the sewer service rates are adopted by Resolution. To avoid confusion, the City Attorney’s office recommends that the new rates are not effective for at least 30 days following adoption, or effective beginning July 1, 2026.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

1. If a majority protest is not received by property owners, Council has the option to reduce the proposed rate increases but may not increase the rate over that proposed. Staff does not recommend this alternative because the proposed sewer rate increase is necessary to ensure there is sufficient funding to begin the preliminary engineering and cost estimates for the WRF retrofit to meet State requirements.

2. Council could take no action.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the number of valid written protests were not received from property owners representing a majority of the parcels subject to the proposed rate, the City Council may adopt Draft Resolution A and C. If approved, the rate increase will generate an estimated $1,065,000 in revenue from increased sewer service charges in FY 2026/27 over FY2025/26 revenue.

NOTICE CONCERNING PROPOSED WASTEWATER

INCREASES AND PUBLIC HEARING
To Property Owner/Customer:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., a Public Hearing will be held in-person at the City of Atascadero Council Chambers located at 6500 Palma Avenue, Atascadero, California 93422 to consider proposed increases in wastewater rates. If approved by the City Council, the proposed rate increases will be effective for services provided on or after July 1, 2026.

WHY ARE THE RATE CHANGES BEING
CONSIDERED?
The City is dedicated to keeping rates low by maintaining lean staffing levels, absorbing increasing operational and maintenance costs, and using reserves when necessary.

However, much like other utilities and services delivered to homes, the costs involved to collect and treat
wastewater have risen and continue to rise. An
independent analysis determined annual rate increases
would be needed over a five-year period. This year’s rate increase represents the second year of that period.

INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS
The City engaged an independent consulting engineer to
assess and analyze the capital needs of the wastewater
collection and treatment systems. The independent
engineer identified numerous capital facility
replacements and upgrades required to continue to
provide a safe and reliable wastewater system. In
addition to other minor projects, the most significant
capital projects identified consist of the wastewater
treatment plant process improvements totaling in excess of $100 million, and other wastewater collection system improvements to lift stations, force mains, sewer pipes and manholes over the next ten years that exceed $170
million. However, the rate study excludes many projects except the treatment plant improvements and only the
highest priority collection system improvements.

Additionally, the City engaged an independent financial consultant to analyze its wastewater services, revenues, and rates and prepare a wastewater rate study. The City commissioned this analysis to determine the cost of
providing wastewater services and their corresponding
impacts to customers’ bills. This analysis identified a number of key factors that result in the proposed rates.

These key factors include, but are not limited to:
• Impacts of State regulation and legislation
• Rising treatment and energy costs
• Past and continued critical upgrades and/or
replacement of wastewater facilities and
infrastructure

PROPOSED WASTEWATER REVENUE INCREASES
The City proposes to increase its wastewater service
charges. All wastewater customers would be charged a
fixed monthly wastewater service charge in the same
manner as they are currently charged. Customers of the
wastewater system are charged proportionally to their
wastewater flow and relative strength contributed to the wastewater collection and treatment facilities. Current and proposed wastewater service charges are provided
on the following page.

WASTEWATER MONTHLY BILL IMPACT FOR THE

AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER
The wastewater bill for a single-family residential customer will increase by $10.54 per month under the proposed
rates. The table below provides the increase in monthly charges for residential customers in 2026-2027.

Revenues derived from the proposed rate changes do
not exceed the revenue requirements needed to provide
property-related services by the City, nor will the
revenues from the rates and charges referenced herein
be used for any purpose other than that for which the
corresponding rates are imposed. The amount of the
proposed rates imposed upon any parcel or person as
an incident of property ownership will not exceed the
proportional cost of the service(s) attributable to such parcel; and no rate will be imposed for a service unless that service is used by, or immediately available to the property or customer in question.

PUBLIC HEARING AND PROTEST

PROCEEDING
The City Council will hear and consider all
written protests and oral comments to the
proposed rate increases at the Public
Hearing. All interested parties are invited to
participate in the public hearing and present
written protests and/or oral comments on the
proposed rate increases referenced herein.

Direction and information for participating in
the meeting will be available on the City
Council Agenda & Minutes webpage.

Agendas are available on the City’s website:
www.atascadero.org/agendas
Oral comments made at the public hearing
will not qualify as formal protests of the
proposed rate increases unless
accompanied by a written protest setting forth
the required information (as detailed below).

Upon the conclusion of the Public Hearing,
the City Council will consider adoption of a
resolution authorizing the rate increases to
the City’s wastewater service charges as
described in this Notice. If written protests
against the proposed rate increases and
adjustments to the wastewater rates as
outlined are not presented by a majority of
property owners of the identified parcels upon
which the wastewater rates are proposed to
be imposed, the City Council will be
authorized to impose the respective rate
increases and adjustment. If adopted, the
proposed rate increases to the wastewater
service charges will be in effect beginning
July 1, 2026.

Pursuant to State Law, written protests may be submitted by any record property owner of a parcel, subject to the proposed City rate changes, against any or all of the proposed rate changes described in this Notice. However, only one written protest will be counted per identified parcel. Any written protest must: (1) state that the identified property owner is in opposition to the proposed increases to the wastewater rates; (2) provide the location of the identified parcel [by street address or assessor’s parcel number (APN)]; (3) include the printed name and original, wet signature of the property owner submitting the protest; (4) date the protest was signed; and (5) certification by the named property owner that the contents of the protest are true and correct. Written protests may be submitted by mail or in person to the City Clerk at 6500 Palma Avenue, Atascadero, CA 93422, or at the Public Hearing on May 12, 2026 (date, time, and location specified on the front of this Notice), provided they are received prior to the close of the Public Hearing, which will occur when the public testimony on the proposed increases and adjustments is concluded.

Due to the inability to verify the authenticity of each individual protest, protests received by telephone, electronic mail (e-mail), or via social media sites, including, but not limited to, Facebook or X shall NOT be accepted. Please identify on the front of the envelope for any written protest, whether mailed or submitted in person to the City Clerk, the following: “Attn: Protest Wastewater Rate Increases”.

CITY OF ATASCADERO
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Item H2
Department: Fire
Date: 5/12/26
Placement: Public Hearing
TO: JAMES R. LEWIS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: CASEY BRYSON, FIRE CHIEF
PREPARED BY: KELLY AREBALO, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
SUBJECT: Weed Abatement Hearing of Objections
RECOMMENDATIONS:

Council:

1. Hear all objections to the proposed removal of vegetative growth and/or refuse and allow or overrule any objections.

2. Authorize the Fire Chief to proceed and perform the work of abatement.

DISCUSSION:

Section 6-13.03 of the Atascadero Municipal Code addresses the abatement of vegetative growth and/or refuse, which constitutes a hazard. Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services conducted its initial inspection during the middle of March. There are approximately 11,341 parcels within the City.

Compliance with the Weed Abatement Section of our Municipal Code is a critical component of our Fuel Management Plan. The City of Atascadero does not want to be in the mowing business.

The intent of this program is to encourage citizens to independently manage the weeds on their properties. An efficient Fuel Management Program helps the City keep wildland fires at a minimum and the cost of staffing down.

The City recovers costs for administering this program through recovery of the contractor cost of abatement, plus a flat fee of $299, plus an administrative fee equal to 166% of the contractor’s fee, which are then placed on the San Luis Obispo County Special Tax Assessment for the fiscal year 2026-2027 Tax Roll. This fee structure is intended to cover 100% of the cost of the weed abatement program, ensuring that compliant property owners/taxpayers do not subsidize the cost of the program.

As part of the abatement process, the City Council is required to hear objections to the proposed removal of vegetative growth and/or refuse. This hearing allows any affected property owner to object to the proposed abatement of hazards on their property.

5/12/25 | Item H2 | Staff Report
FISCAL IMPACT:

None. Costs of the weed abatement program are recovered through the assessments charged to non-compliant parcels that must be abated by the City Contractor. Those property owners who comply with the Municipal Code are not assessed or charged.

ALTERNATIVES:

No alternative is recommended.

Department: Administrative
Services
Date: 5/12/26
Placement: Public Hearing
TO: JAMES R. LEWIS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: JERI RANGEL, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR
PREPARED BY: CINDY CHAVEZ, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES SUBJECT: Amendments to Fee Schedule
RECOMMENDATION:

Council adopt Draft Resolution, adopting amended fees and deposits to offset costs incurred in planning services, and a schedule of fees and charges for City services.

DISCUSSION:

The purpose of City government is to service the needs of the people. The City provides a broad range of services to the community including those such as planning and building development services, park and recreational services, rental of City property, police and fire services, and other miscellaneous City services of a voluntary or limited nature. These services are funded in part by fees paid by the users and in part by a General Fund subsidy. The amount of General Fund subsidy that is required is predicated on the degree to which the City can recover the costs reasonably borne to provide the special services.

California law authorizes the City to recover the “costs reasonably borne” in providing services.

However, the fee may not exceed those “costs reasonably borne” or it is by definition a special tax that must be approved by two-thirds of the voters. In 2022, the City hired a consultant, Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC (RCS) to perform a complete Cost Allocation and User Fee Study.

RCS is an expert in the industry and has been providing fee and costing services to local government agencies for 46 years. RCS provided similar services for the City in 2002, 2006, and 2014.

In 2014, Council directed staff to bring back the issue of adjusting fees annually using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI adjustment for year ending 2026 is 3.21%. The CPI used was the California weighted average change from calendar 2024 to 2025 that is calculated by the State Department of Industrial Relations. Attached, as Exhibit A to the Draft Resolution, is a summary fee comparison detailing the proposed adjustments.

Recreation activity fees are adjusted in alignment with established cost-recovery guidelines and local market trends. The Council has consistently expressed a commitment to maintaining

5/12/26 | Item H3 | Staff Report
affordable recreation opportunities for the average family, thereby supporting broad community access to these programs. As part of this Fee Schedule update, some recreation activity fees are proposed to increase only by the Consumer Price Index, while some fees will remain unchanged from the prior year.

Council has historically indicated their intention to have development pay for itself. The majority of the proposed development fees are set at full, 100% cost recovery. Achieving full cost recovery enables the City to provide development services more effectively and efficiently, as it ensures adequate funding for the department’s staffing and operational needs. As noted in previous Council meetings, certain development-related fees continue to be intentionally subsidized to support broader economic development goals. Fees such as outdoor dining encroachment permits and sign permits fall within this subsidized category.

Other fees are limited by State law. Those cost recovery fees will remain at a constant level unless they are updated by the State.

The remaining fees, which are neither managed by the State nor fall into the already discussed categories, were adjusted to reflect the actual changes in the costs of providing those services.

The Service Fees will go into effect sixty days (60) after the resolution is adopted.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

1. Council may change any of the proposed fees not limited by State law.

2. Council may keep the current fees. This option is not recommended as the amount of tax dollars necessary to provide these services would increase, reducing the amount of money available for key Council priorities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be an increase in operating revenue resulting from the CPI increase, with an offsetting increase in costs to provide the services.

This item has been reviewed by the Administrative Services Director.

FEES AND CHARGES FOR CITY SERVICES
WHEREAS, the City wishes to comply with both the letter and the spirit of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and limit the growth of taxes; and, WHEREAS, the City of Atascadero provides various planning and building development services to the public including, but not limited to, processing applications, reviewing plans and maps, issuing permits and reviewing development agreements (the “Planning Services”); and, WHEREAS, the City of Atascadero desires to establish a policy of recovering some portion of the costs reasonably borne of providing special services, including but not limited to park and recreation services, rental of City property, police and fire services, and other miscellaneous City services, of a voluntary or limited nature, such that general taxes are not diverted from general services of a broad nature and thereby utilized unfairly and inequitably such special services (“City Services”); and, WHEREAS, City Council intends to collect various fees (the “Fees”) and, in certain cases, require advance deposit of the Fees, to offset the costs associated with providing the Planning Services and City Services; and,
WHEREAS, because some of the Fees are described in Government Code section 66014, (i) notice of the time and place of this meeting as well as a general description of the matter to be considered are to be mailed at least 14 days prior to the date of this meeting to those parties (if any) who have filed requests for such notification, and (ii) data indicating the amount of the estimated cost required to provide the Services and the resources anticipated to fund the Planning Services were made available to the public at least 10 days prior to the date of this meeting, all in accordance with Government Code section 66016; and,

WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66018 applies to the adopting or increasing fees to which a specific statutory notice requirement does not apply; and

5/12/26 | Item H3 | Attachment 1
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code sections 66016 and 66018 the enactment or increase in any fees to be charged for services must be adopted by the City Council by ordinance or resolution, after providing notice and holding a public hearing; and, WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the fee schedule detailed in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference is consistent with the City of Atascadero General Plan; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Sections 66016 and 66018, the data required to be made available to the public prior to increasing the amount of the fees by this resolution was made available for public review at least 10 days prior to the date of this meeting; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Sections 66014, 66106, 66018 and 6062a, notice of a public hearing on the increase to the amount of fees was published twice, with at least five days intervening the two publications, commencing at least ten days prior to the date of this meeting; and, WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing before the City Council was held on May 12, 2026, at which public testimony was received and duly considered on the proposed Planning Services and City Services Fees; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has previously adopted Resolution No. 2025-027, setting forth such fees, and desires to amend and restate that Resolution in this Resolution, without rescinding said adoption; and,
WHEREAS, the amount of the Fees do not exceed the true cost of providing the Planning Services and City Services; and,
WHEREAS, the increase to the amount of the fees is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act because it is a funding mechanism having no physical effect on the environment.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Atascadero:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and the City Council so finds and determines.

SECTION 2. Establishment of the Fees. The Fees are hereby established in the amounts detailed on Exhibit A for the purpose of funding the cost of providing the Services.
