12. Setting a Public Hearing Date for the Proposed Rate Changes to the Sewer, Salt Water, and Solid Waste Service Fees
At the March 3, 2026, City Council Meeting, HDR Engineering presented the results of the cost of service study. It was recommended that the City establish maximum rates forthe sewer, saltwater, and sold waste service fees sufficient to fund the operations and crucial infrastructure improvements for the next five years, while maintaining adequate reserves. The adopted rates in future years will be reviewed annually and may be lowered (not increased) or held in abeyance without an additional Prop 218 process.
Recommended Action
1. Discuss and provide direction to Staff regarding the fees for the Sewer, Saltwater, and Solid Waste services. These property-related fees can only be increased by a four-fifths vote of the City Council. 2. Set a public hearing for May 19, 2026 for the City Council to hear public comments on the annual sewer, saltwater, and solid waste fees.
13. Advance Payment of Measure C Funds to the Catalina Island Medical Center (CIMC) On March 6, 2025, the CIMC asked the City to approve execution of a non-binding letter of interest for a potential advance payment of approximately $2.93 million from the City’sgeneral fund so that CIMC can participate in a program to receive a substantial increase in funding - specifically, the Voluntary Rate Range Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) Program. The advance would be paid back over the course of several years through any available CIMC revenues, including Measure C funds.
Recommended Action
Provide direction on whether to enter into the letter of interest which could lead to an agreement wherein the City advances approximately $2,927,441.90 for CIMC’s participation in the Voluntary Rate Range Intergovernmental Transfer Program, which CIMC believes will result in increased funding for CIMC.

CITY OF AVALON CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2026 AGENDA ITEM: ________ ORIGINATING DEP: Administration CITY MANAGER:
PREPARED BY: Jocelyn Francis, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Civic Center Housing Project Phase 3B Bid Results RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): 1.) Reject received bid as nonresponsive. 2.) Authorize the City Manager or designee to re-scope and re-bid the project per Public Contracts Code 22038(a).
REPORT SUMMARY: On October 7, 2025 City Council authorized City staff to publish two Civic Center Housing requests for proposal (REP) for on-site civil preparation work (Phase 3A) and for modular unit construction (Phase 3B).
On December 15, 2025, the City published the REP for the Civic Center Housing Project Phase3B, which closed on February 19, 2026. The City received one bid package from US-Offsite (the same company awarded the agreement for procurement of the manufactured units) for $4,041,089.
After review of the single bid package, it was deemed incomplete and nonresponsive as the City did not receive a required bid bond for the project.
Applicable to the City, PCC 22038(a) in relevant part states: If after the first invitation of bids all bids are rejected, after reevaluating its cost estimates of the project, the public agency shall have the option of the following: (1) Abandoning the project or readvertising for bids in the manner described by this article.
Therefore, City Staff requests that City Council authorize the City Manager to further refine the scope of the project and re-bid. During further investigation it was determined there are entities interested in the logistics (moving the units from the manufacturing facility to Avalon, and stitching the units together on site) versus general contractor work (roofing, stairs, siding, finishing work). If approved by Council, City staff will create these separate procurement packages and re-bid. This will result in creating bid packages Phase 3B and Phase 3C.
A final recommendation on whether to proceed with the project, as well as a final contract award (if approved) will be provided to the City Council for authorization at a later date.
GOAL ALIGNMENT: Improve local housing.
FISCAL IMPACTS: There is $2,000,000 allocated in Capital Project 205014 Civic Center Housing Project for FY2025-26. City staff will return to City Council with further funding and financing recommendations before proceeding with Phase 2 and Phase 3.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
FOLLOW UP ACTION: If authorized, re-issue bid packages.
ADVERTISING, NOTICE AND PUBLIC CONTACT: This item was properly listed on the posted agenda pursuant to the Brown Act.

REPORT SUMMARY: In 2024, the Avalon Harbor Department applied for and was awarded a CORE Voucher from the State of California’s Clean Off-Road Equipment (CORE) Program. TheCORE Program is designed to subsidize the adoption of zero-emission commercial harbor craft.
The voucher provided $129,952.30 in funds to offset the purchase of an electric patrol vessel for the Harbor Department.
On July 16, 2024, the City Council made the affirmative finding that Vita Power was a sole source provider of commercial harbor craft vessels approved by the CORE Voucher Incentive Program.City Council also authorized the City Manager or his designee to procure a new Vita Seal Electric Boat, pursuant to the City’s procurement process.
As an additional benefit of the program, the City received a voucher for $75,000 to offset the cost to establish a shore power resource <99kW.
After researching appropriate options from qualified vendors, City Staff recommends the City Council makes the affirmative finding to dispense with a competitive procurement process due to economic efficiency as outlined in Avalon Municipal Code 3-4.111(c), and authorize the City Manager to negotiate the purchase and installation of a marine electric vessel charger with Aqua superPower.The commercial marine charging market is a new and evolving market with very few manufacturers in North America. In addition to having a North American presence, AquasuperPower is the official ‘charging partner” for Vita Power — the manufacturer of the Vita Seal vessel currently owned by the City. Aqua superPower is also very familiar with the CORE Voucher Incentive Program and will make sure that the all procurement, equipment, installation process comply with the programs regulations.
Aqua superPower has proposed installation of the AquaGO 50kW marine charger on the Barbara Pearson float on the east side of the Harbor. This charger will be open for fee-based, public use by both recreational and commercial boaters. This project opens the door for electricpropulsion systems to be adopted by boaters using Avalon Harbor.
The proposed charging system, including equipment, installation and a 5-year maintenance program is estimated at $76,443.00. With a $75,000 voucher, City Staff anticipate a nominal outof-pocket cost to be funded by the Harbor Capital Improvement Fund, 10470-6504.
The CORE voucher must be used by May 2026. If approved to move forward, Aqua superPower has committed to initiating installation in the next 3-4 weeks in order to ensure the CORE deadline is met.Section 4-4.111(c) allows the City to purchase goods and equipment without using a formal bidprocess where the goods and equipment may be obtained more economically or efficiently without the formal bid process. Given the facts discussed above, these conditions exist.
GOAL ALIGNMENT: Improve Harbor Infrastructure and provide electric boat charging capability FISCAL IMPACTS: $75,000 of the project cost would be covered by the CORE voucher. Any amount over that, up to a maximum project cost of $80,000, would be funded by the HarborCapital Improvement Fund, 10470-6504.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: Public-use electric boatcharging capability will not be available in Avalon Harbor.
FOLLOW UP ACTION: City Manager to approve and authorize Aqua superPower to proceedper the attached proposal.

MEETING DATE: March 17, 2026 AGENDA ITEM: I 2_
ORIGINATING DEP: Finance Department CITY MANAGER: SlIUJ\PREPARED BY: Matthew Baker, Finance Director SUBJECT: Setting a Public Hearing Date for the Proposed Rate Changes to the Sewer, Salt Water, and Solid Waste Service Fees
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): 1. Discuss and provide direction to Staff regarding the fees for the Sewer, Saltwater, and Solid Waste services. These property-related fees can only be increased by a four-fifths vote of the City Council. 2. Set a public hearing for May 19, 2026 for the City Council to hear public comments on the annual sewer, saltwater, and solid waste fees.
REPORT SUMMARY: At the March 3, 2026, HDR Engineering presented the results of the cost of service study. It was recommended that the City establish maximum rates for thesewer, saltwater, and sold waste service fees sufficient to fund the operations and crucial infrastructure improvements for the next five years, while maintaining adequate reserves. The adopted rates in future years will be reviewed annually and may be lowered (not increased) or held in abeyance without an additional Prop 218 process.
Proposition 218 and the Next StepsThe Sewer, Salt Water, and Solid Waste Funds are enterprise funds for which a fee is charged in exchange for the cost of service. These funds are intended to support themselves by collecting sufficient revenues to cover the cost of service. The process of increasing rates of the City’s sewer, salt water and solid waste service fees is subject to the 1996 constitutional amendment known as “Proposition 218, Right to Vote on Taxes Act.” Sewer, salt water, andsolid waste service fees may be adopted five years in advance.
The main requirements of Proposition 218 are:
• Rates must be based on the actual cost of service;
• The City must mail a notice to all affected property owners of the proposed change in rates and public hearing;
• The City must hold a public hearing at least 45 days after the mailing of the notices;• Proposed change in rates is considered rejected if written protests are received from a majority of the affected property owners; or
• Rates can become effective 30 days after the public hearing and adoption of an ordinance.
Staff will mail notices of the public hearing to all parcel owners and advertise the public hearing in the local newspaper and the City’s web site. The published rates in the notices will be the same as the rates presented at the March 3, 2026 City Council Meeting.
GOAL ALIGNMENT: Achieve a balanced budget.
FISCAL IMPACTS: Sufficient funds exist in the FY25-26 Budget for the cost to mail notices and publish notices in the newspaper.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City would be able to submit only the same rates and rate structure to the County as adopted in the prior costof service study for the 2026-2027 tax roll. These rates would not be sufficient to fully fund operations and capital improvements.
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
• March 20, 2026 — On or before this date, mail notices to all property owners;• May 19, 2026— Public hearing and introduction of the ordinance;• June 2, 2026— Second reading of the ordinance; • July 15, 2026 — Submit FY26-27 rates to Los Angeles County to be included in the 2026-2027 property tax bills;
• Annually review sewer, salt water, and solid waste cost of service and revenue requirements as part of the City’s budget cycle.

CITY OF AVALON CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2026 AGENDA ITEM: ________ ORIGINATING DEP: City Manager, City Attorney CITY MANAGER: 11VM PREPARED BY: Scott Campbell, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Advance Payment of Measure C Funds to the Catalina Island Medical Center (CIMC)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): Provide direction on whether to enter into the letter of interest which could lead to an agreement wherein the City advances approximately $2,927,441 .90 for the Catalina Island Medical Center’s (‘CIMC”) participation in the Voluntary Rate Range Intergovernmental Transfer Program, which CIMC believes will result in increased funding for CIMC. The City would be paid back through any available CIMC revenues, including MeasureC funds, over the course of several years.
REPORT SUMMARY: On March 18, 2025 the CIMC asked the City of Avalon to approve execution of a non-binding letter of interest (“LOl”) for a potential advance payment of approximately $2,800,000 from the City’s general fund so that CIMC can participate in a program to receive a substantial increase in funding -specifically, the Voluntary Rate Range (VRR”) Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT”) Program. The advance would be paid back over the course of several years through any available CIMC revenues, including Measure C funds.On July 24, 2025, the City Council approved the City to enter into an Voluntary Rate Range Intergovernmental Transfer agreement with the California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”), obligating the City to transfer approximately $1,106,450 to DHS on the condition that CIMC would allow the City to offset the amount of the transfer, plus any DHCS assessments,City Attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the advance payment, and certain administrativeand lost opportunity fees, through Measure C funds, and, if necessary, any other available andpermissible CIMC revenues over the course of eighteen months. CIMC has paid the outstandingbalance of that prior advance on March 10, 2026.
On March 6, 2026 CIMC requested the City of Avalon participate again in the Voluntary Rate Range Intergovernmental Transfer Program by authorizing a new letter of interest for approximately $2.93 million plus a 20 percent DHCS assessment, unless the assessment is waived by DHCS.An explanation of the program and structure of the potential arrangement is discussed below.
BACKGROUND: The Medicaid program (called “Medi-Cal” in California) is jointly funded by theState of California and the federal government for certain residents of the State. The State’sshare of the funding is a combination of State funds appropriated to the DHCS, public funds transferred from other public agencies such as cities or counties (called “IntergovernmentalTransfer” or “IGT”), and certain health care-related taxes. These funds together represent the “non-federal share” of the funding to pay for Medi-Cal program expenses and are used to draw down matching federal funds.SMRH:4928-1271-0441.1 -1-
,cflOflflHI\l7721 I2
The amount of federal funds available depends on the “federal matching assistance percentage” or “FMAP” and varies by state, by specific services and types of Medicaid beneficiaries, and by whether the expenses were for administrative purposes or for medical care delivered to patients.
Federal Medicaid managed care rules permit DHCS to annually develop and certify a range of actuarially sound capitation rates that it will pay to each of contracted Medi-Cal managed care plans, which must be reviewed and approved each year by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in order to be eligible for federal matching funds.
There is a special program that CIMC wants to participate in to obtain increased funding for its services. Specifically, the Voluntary Rate Range Intergovernmental Transfer Program wasestablished in 20 11-2012 to allow local public “transferring entities” to contribute their own funds via IGTs to help DHCS to pay capitation rates to Medi-Cal managed care plans at the upper bound of the rate range and to draw down matching federal funds based on those higher rates.
The plans must use the “rate range increases” (that is, the difference between the lower bound and the upper bound of the range) to make increased payments to health care providers to increase access to services for their Medi-Cal enrollees.Participation in the program is voluntary for public transferring entities and each Medi-Cal managed care plan. For each Medicaid managed care plan year (calendar year), DHCS asks the managed care plans and transferring entities for their interest in participating in the Program—demonstrated by completing a non-binding Letter of Interest (“LOI”)—and forinformation on the uncompensated care costs for the Medi-Cal enrollees in their plan.
CIMC is asking the City of Avalon to use unallocated funds from the City’s General Fund to support CIMC’s participation in the Voluntary Rate Range Program with L.A. Care. L.A. Care isone of the three Medi-Cal managed care plans that covers Medi-Cal members in Los AngelesCounty. Most of the Medi-Cal patients who receive services at CIMC are enrolled in L.A. Care.
If approved by the City Council, the City would sign and submit the attached non-binding LOIsincluded as Attachment A and the attestations included as Attachment B to L.A. Care andHealthNet in order to demonstrate its interest in participating in the program. L.A. Care must submit these documents on behalf of all transferring entities to DHCS by April 10, 2026.
Any funds CIMC receives through this program must be used by CIMC for services to Medi-Cal members and cannot be used to pay back the City. The City is expected to be paid back primarily from the use of funds from Measure C, the sales tax that was approved by City voters for support of hospital services, as well as other available CIMC revenues. Revenue and Taxation Code sections 7286.25-7286.26 authorize Avalon to impose a special sales tax to be used “exclusively for the Avalon Municipal Hospital and Clinic.” This authority is broad and seems to contemplate that the Hospital could use Measure C funds to repay debt incurred for the benefit of the Avalon Municipal Hospital and Clinic, regardless of the lender. There is additional analysis underway of the enforceability of an advance payment agreement between the City and the Hospital in the event that the Hospital ceases to operate. Until such analysis is complete, staff does not recommend entering into the final agreement to advance the funds. At this stage, CIMC is just asking that the City signal its interest in participating in the program, which is non-binding, and any final agreement will be subject to the City Council’s approval at a future meeting.
CIMC is seeking to participate in the program as it faces an ongoing structural deficit largely due to uncompensated care costs associated with serving Medi-Cal patients.
SMRH:4928-1271O441 .1
f.c,CR(i2Ii\4I77QI IQ )
If the proposed IGT is approved by DHCS, DHCS will provide an IGT agreement to the City for execution by about July 31, 2026, which must be executed by about October 31, 2026. If theCity executes the IGT agreement with DHCS, it will be required to transfer funds to the State by December 31, 2026.If the City eventually approves the proposed IGT arrangement, it will seek to enter into an advance payment agreement with the Hospital, which will include the following key terms:
1. Advance Amount: Not to exceed $2,927,441.90 plus 20% DHCS assessment, if not waived
2. Primary Source of Repayment: Measure C Funds and other available, CIMC revenues
3. Term: 48 months
4. Annual Administrative Fee: Equal to 5% of Amount Owed, to account for the lost opportunity costs of interest and expense associated with administration of the advance payment
5. Repayment: 100% of Advance Amount, commencing as of the first month after the City’s funding of the advance, with the balance due from operating funds if not repaidin full by end of term.
6. Covenants to include prohibition on sale of hospital or change of ownership without City consent, and requirement for monthly meetings between City and hospital management regarding the status of any future plans for the hospital (including anyproposed sale, affiliation, or change of ownership of the hospital) until the advance isrepaid by the Hospital
7. Financial reporting requirements, including audited financial statements, and monthly or quarterly financial statements, at the discretion of the City until the advance is repaid by the Hospital
8. Customary representations and warranties of the hospital9. Indemnification by the hospital for any claims or liabilities arising from the City’s making of the Advance Payment or the use of Measure C funds to repay the advance The terms of the final agreement with CIMC may be subject to CIMC Board approval.
GOAL ALIGNMENT: Support Avalon residents by providing a mechanism for funding the Hospital.
FISCAL IMPACTS. A reduction in general funds of approximately $2,930,000 with repayment over several years.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Hospital will not receive the funding from the City and be forced to seek it from other sources.FOLLOW UP ACTION: Approval of Implementing Agreements and Documents.
