WHEREAS, City staff prepared a zoning text amendment that would provide regulations and development standards for self-storage facilities operating in the city (the “Ordinance”); and
WHEREAS, the Ordinance would amend Title 17 (Zoning) of the Brentwood Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Brentwood Municipal Code allows self-storage facilities in certain zoning districts but does not contain standards regulating the use. Instead, applications for new self-storage facilities are considered on a case-by-case basis through the conditional use permit process; and
WHEREAS, development and performance standards for new self-storage facilities and for the expansion of existing self-storage facilities will ensure greater consistency of regulations for the use, and will mitigate against the negative impacts that could result from new and remodeled self-storage uses; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed amendment to the Brentwood Municipal Code, has found that the proposed Ordinance is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan, and recommends adoption to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, on May 23, 2025, the City gave public notice of a Planning Commission public hearing to be held to consider this Ordinance by advertisement in the Brentwood Press, a newspaper of general circulation; and WHEREAS, on June 3, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing to consider the staff report, recommendation by staff, and public testimony concerning this Ordinance.

WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of the Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitals are incorporated into this Ordinance as though fully set forth herein.

SECTION 2. CEQA. Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, this project is exempt in that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, as the proposed Ordinance would not authorize or facilitate construction or groundbreaking activities and any future project subject to the Ordinance would undergo appropriate CEQA review prior to approval.

SECTION 3. Rezoning. Brentwood Municipal Code Section 17.870.008 provides:

No rezoning of property or text amendment shall occur which is inconsistent with the city’s community development plan. In making a decision, the planning commission and council shall consider the consistency of the proposed action to the community development plan and other applicable city plans, and shall consider whether the proposed action is inappropriate or otherwise contrary to the public interest.

The zoning text amendment set forth in Exhibit A is consistent with the General Plan because it meets Land Use Policy LU 3-9 which dictates that all commercial and other non-residential development is compatible with adjacent land uses,

Page 13 of 127 ends

Attachment 2

Page 3 of 10 ends

particularly residential uses. In addition, it is consistent with Land Use Policy LU 2-2 because it will help to protect existing residential neighborhoods from negative impacts resulting from the installation and operation of self-storage and drive-through facilities.

The City Council likewise finds that the Ordinance is appropriate and is not contrary to the public interest in that it will add clarity to and update the provisions of the Brentwood Municipal Code and update related definitions in the Zoning Ordinance. In addition, it will encourage investment in Brentwood while protecting residents and existing development.

SECTION 4. Amendment. Specified sections, or portions of sections, of Title 17 of the Brentwood Municipal Code are hereby amended, as shown in Exhibit A and Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein, as follows:
 Title 17 Zoning is hereby amended to add special development and performance standards to regulate self-storage facilities to ensure high-quality design of new and expanded facilities and to lessen or avoid any negative impacts that could result from new or remodeled self-storage facilities, as provided in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Revisions to existing sections are reflected in strikethrough for deletions and underline for additions. Portions of sections not listed in the attached exhibit are not modified and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 5. Effective Date; Publication Date. This ordinance shall be published in accordance with Government Code Section 36933. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its adoption. The City Clerk is directed to cause the Municipal Code text to be entered in the Brentwood Municipal Code of the City of Brentwood to be modified accordingly.

Chapter 17.755 SELF-STORAGE FACILITIES

17.755.001 Intent and purpose of chapter.

The intent and purpose of this chapter is to provide special development requirements, design guidelines, and performance standards to achieve self-storage facilities designed to address development impacts, operational elements, site and built design elements, and safety. Chapter 17.030 of this code provides a definition for self-storage facilities. If self-storage is not listed as a permitted use or listed as conditionally permitted in the specific zoning or planned development zone it is not permitted.

17.755.002 Development standards.

The physical building(s) containing the self-storage facility use is subject to the prescribed zoning district standards and permitting process, except that the following standards apply:

A. Lot size. Minimum lot size is 20,000 square feet and maximum lot size is two (2) acres (87,120 square feet).

B. Setbacks. Each self-storage facility shall maintain a minimum setback as prescribed for the zone.

C. Maximum height. Maximum height is 35 feet. Any portions of the self-storage facilities that are within 30 feet of any residential use shall be no higher than one story (not to exceed 15 feet).

D. Architectural standards. All new self-storage facility structures shall comply with the following design standards. In addition, if an existing self-storage facility renovates, remodels, expands or increases the overall square-footage of the existing facility by 50% or more, then all new and existing self-storage facility structures shall comply with the following design standards:

1. All self-storage facility buildings shall adhere to the City of Brentwood Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines.

2. Building elevations that are longer than 30 feet wide shall be modulated to create visual relief through the use of elevation plane changes.

Elevations must provide a minimum one (1) horizontal change in plane for every 30 ft. of building elevation. The change in plane must be minimum 3 ft. deep and 6 ft. wide, and must be open to the sky.

3. A variation in colors, textures, materials, and finishes shall be used to add variety and interest to structures provided all colors, textures, materials, and finishes are consistent with the overall architectural style of the building. Each building façade greater than 100 ft. in length shall include a minimum of two (2) distinct façade compositions. For every additional 100 ft. of building façade, an additional 1 (one) distinct façade

Page 19 of 127 ends

Attachment 2

Page 9 of 10 ends

composition is required. Each distinct façade composition shall have a total combined façade area greater than 10% of the overall façade area.

4. A variety of roof shapes and forms shall be utilized to add character and diversity. The number of required roof forms shall be calculated at a ratio of at least one roof form for every 30 ft. of frontage and shall be located within 15 ft. of the predominant building face on all building frontages. Standards for variation in roof form will apply to all frontages.

5. Exterior access for storage units shall be fully screened from the public right-of-way through building design, decorative walls, landscaping, or other screening methods as deemed appropriate by the Community Development Director.

6. Landscape and hardscape shall add to the character of the new buildings, facilitate sustainable water use, and be relatively easy to maintain. The landscape design shall be integrated with the buildings on site and enhance the natural environment of the area.

E. Perimeter fencing and screening.

1. A decorative masonry wall, at least six feet high, shall be required adjacent to any residential district. The height, placement and design of such wall shall be considered on a site-specific basis considering the need for security and screening.

2. Except for driveway and walkway access, all storage areas shall be screened from view from adjacent properties and rights-of-ways by free-standing decorative masonry walls where building walls do not provide the screening. Screen walls may extend above the maximum required by the zone in order to screen recreational vehicle storage or other activities, but shall not exceed 12 feet in height.

17.755.003 Performance standards.

The following performance standards shall apply to self-storage facilities:

A. Lighting. Lighting shall be designed to minimize glare and light spillover and maximize energy conservation. Light standards shall be shielded and have a maximum height of 14 feet to effectively control glare and light trespass.

B. Security features. Prior to commencing the self-storage facility operation, the facility shall install automatic pedestrian and vehicle gates with electronic access. Additionally, individual door alarms, surveillance cameras, and monitoring stations shall be installed.

C. A residential unit for a caretaker/security guard is be allowed as an accessory use and shall be no larger than 750 square feet and include no more than one bedroom. This residential unit shall not be rented and/or leased as a residential

Page 20 of 127 ends

Attachment 2

Page 10 of 10 ends

unit to anyone other than the caretaker/security guard. Such residential unit shall be developed as a part of the self-storage building facility, shall not be located in the frontage of the development, and shall not be a trailer, mobile home, or modular unit. Habitation outside of authorized caretaker/security guard quarters is prohibited.

D. Prohibitions. The following are prohibited in a self-storage use:

1. Storage of toxic or hazardous materials.

2. Sale or distribution of stored goods.

3. Vehicle repair.

4. Operation of any business.

5. Truck rental and the exterior storage of recreational vehicles and boats.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.3
08/12/2025

BACKGROUND
When developers construct a new project that includes the sale of single-family homes, the land usually has to first be divided into individual lots that can be sold to separate buyers. Depending on the number of lots needed, this division of land requires the approval of either a tentative parcel map (for four lots or less) or a tentative subdivision map (for five lots or more) by the City. The map shows how the land will be divided into lots, parks, streets, and other features.

When a tentative map is approved by the City, it will include a number of requirements or Conditions of Approval (COA’s) that the developer must carry out in order to develop the project. In compliance with State Subdivision Map Act Section 66458(d) and Municipal Code Section 16.165.030, a Final Map and associated Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) are presented to the City Manager for approval through an Informational Report to City Council. Per the SIA, improvement security must be provided to the City to cover the estimated cost of the improvements to be installed. For this project, a surety bond was submitted to guarantee faithful performance and satisfy this requirement.

Once the improvements are completed and ready for acceptance, the developer must post a Maintenance Bond in an amount not less than 10% of the estimated cost of improvements, guaranteeing materials and workmanship for a period of one year.

Before ownership of the improvements can be transferred, the City Council has to formally accept them, which means the City acknowledges that the improvements were built in conformance with the approved plans.

In the item before the Council, the City is being asked to (1) accept the improvements, (2) accept the Maintenance Bond from the developer, (3) release the Improvement Securities back to the developer, since the improvements were built, and (4) ask the City Clerk to send the Council’s Resolution to the County so it can be recorded and be a record of the Council’s action.

This project, which sits east of Empire Avenue, west of the rail road tracks, and is formally located at 2800 Empire Avenue, has been developed by Brookfield Bay Area Holdings, LLC (Developer). The tentative map was approved to subdivide 20 acres into 160 single family residential lots, two parks, and a parcel for bio-retention to treat stormwater. The portions of public improvements required by the project’s Conditions of Approval have been constructed and inspected to ensure they follow the approved improvement plans including sewer, water, storm drain, sidewalks, masonry wall, street lighting, and paving.

Page 23 of 127 ends

The Developer has provided a Maintenance Bond to cover the twelve-month warranty period for the public improvements. With the improvements now installed, it is the appropriate time to accept the improvements and begin the warranty period.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.4
08/12/2025
SUBJECT: Arts Commission recommendation to revise the City Public Art Prioritization List for FY 2025/26
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
STAFF: E. Harith Aleem, Jr., Director of Parks and Recreation Thien Nguyen, Recreation Manager
Lindsay Pinell, Recreation Supervisor

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Receive and approve the City of Brentwood Public Art Priority List for FY 2025/26 as recommended by the Arts Commission.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. As individual public art projects are reviewed and recommended by the Arts Commission, they will be brought forward to the City Council for consideration and any necessary budget approval.

Funding for public art projects is available through the Public Art Acquisition Fund, which is supported by in-lieu fees collected from developers for the acquisition and construction of Public Art. These funds are restricted for public art purposes only.

The projected fund balance as of June 30, 2026 is $3,017,999.

BACKGROUND
In September 2003, the City Council approved Ordinance 870, which amended Chapter 2.44 of the Brentwood Municipal Code (which has since been revised and updated to Chapter 2.60, ‘Public Art Program’) and established the public art program. This also created the Public Art Fund, specifically for the City to administer the program and to provide funds for the City to commission art projects in public spaces.

For public or residential projects subject to the public art requirement, the program allows the option of either (1) adding art as a part of the project, or (2) paying an in-lieu fee to the City. The public art value/fee is based on a percentage of the total project valuation. When public art is provided as a part of the construction of a project, 80% of applicable value of the project is used to design, plan, and construct the art, and 20% is paid to the City in administrative fees. When the project scope

Page 30 of 127 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.4
08/12/2025
does not include the required public art, 125% of the applicable value of the project is paid to the City as an in-lieu fee, of which 80% is set aside for future public art projects and 20% for administrative fees. Each year, the Arts Commission recommends a Public Art Priority List (‘the Public Art Priority List’), identifying locations for future public art opportunities. The Arts Commission has reviewed and updated the 2025 Public Art Priority List, and took action to recommend this list at their April 16, 2025 regular Arts Commission Meeting.

For this year’s priority list, Phase I of Public Art Spaces (CIP Project No. 337-37244) remains the top priority, as it has not yet been completed. This phase includes two projects: “Fields of Time” and “Radiant Convergence”. Fields of Time is expecting to be installed and completed by December 31, 2025. For Radiant Convergence, City staff has executed Amendment No. 2 to the agreement and is expecting installation and completion of this project in 2026.

Additionally, the Arts Commission and City staff expects to spend time engaging and receiving feedback from the community in regards to updating the Public Art Guidelines and an Art Commission Survey. The Arts Commission also recently formed an ad-hoc committee at their June 18, 2025 meeting to review and consider locations in City buildings to expand the City’s permanent art collection. Finally, staff is expecting to release a “Call for Artists” in 2025 to continue replacing/painting artwork on utility boxes in the City.

The proposed FY 2025/26 Public Art Priority List is outlined below. This is a working list of projects, and while we do not expect to complete all of them within the year, it serves as a guide for prioritizing efforts. Each project involves a process that requires time and coordination.

1. Phase I of Public Art Spaces
a. Fields of Time: Brentwood Boulevard - expected construction this summer and fall 2025.
b. Radiant Convergence: Sand Creek Median – Installation 2026

2. Review and update the Public Art Guidelines, and evaluate the Brentwood Municipal Code related to Public Art. Propose revisions as needed and present recommended changes to the City Council for approval.

SUBJECT: Accept the work performed by Thirkettle Corporation, dba AquaMetric Sales Company, and file a Notice of Completion for Sensus Automated Meter Reading System Upgrade, CIP Project No. 562- 56397
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Department
STAFF: Casey Wichert, Director of Public Works
Vatsal Patel, Engineering Manager
James Wolfe, Water Operations Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution accepting the work performed by Thirkettle Corporation, dba Aqua-Metric Sales Company (“Contractor”), for the Sensus Automated Meter Reading System Upgrade (“Project”); and request the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total contract amount approved for the work performed by the Contractor was $2,363,223.12, plus a 10% contingency of $236,322.32, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,599,545.44. This Project is funded by the Water Replacement Fund.

Due to Water Operations staff concurrently performing retrofits in order to maintain 100% meter read success for billing, the final cost of the contract is less than the City Council approved amount for this contract. The total final cost of the contract was $2,077,974.79, which is $521,570.65 (20%) less than the not-to-exceed amount approved by City Council, as follows:

Total not-to-exceed amount $ 2,599,545.44
Total final cost of the contract $ 2,077,974.79
Savings $ 521,570.65

BACKGROUND
For about 20 years, the City has used water meters with remote transmitter units that allow staff to drive by each unit and collect the information without having to

Page 35 of 127 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.5

physically read the meter. In 2014, the City began replacing older meter transmitters that are no longer supported by the manufacturer and began transitioning to a more automated metering system that no longer requires staff to physically drive by each location. The new system has remote telemetry locations throughout the City that receive signals directly from the meters and transfer real-time data to the Utility Billing Division.

On December 14, 2021, the City Council adopted a Resolution awarding the Project to the Contractor. On May 30, 2025, the Contractor completed all work per the contract documents; and staff is recommending that the work performed by the Contractor be accepted and the Notice of Completion be filed with the County Recorder.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.6
08/12/2025
SUBJECT: Write-Off of Uncollectible Account Receivable Over $5,000 DEPARTMENT: Finance and Information Systems
STAFF: Kerry Breen, Director of Finance and Information Systems Michelle Morey, Financial Services Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the write-off of one uncollectible account receivable in the amount of $5,034.50

FISCAL IMPACT
The uncollectible account receivable totals $5,034.50 and will be expensed to the General Fund. Council/Administrative Policy No. 10-5, Budget and Fiscal Policies, allows the Director of Finance and Information Systems to make budget adjustments for write-offs in accordance with Section 5.9, Uncollectible Receivables and Section

3.3.5., Budget Administration.

BACKGROUND
Council/Administrative Policy No. 10-5, Budget and Fiscal Policies (the “Policy”) states it is the intent of the City to reflect the value of its receivables and ensure that resources are used efficiently and not devoted to the recovery of uncollectible receivables. Further, any uncollectible account exceeding $5,000 per transaction or $50,000, in the aggregate, for any individual debtor requires City Council approval to write-off.

The City has identified one delinquent receivable amount. Account Receivable “AR” invoice #AR13839, in the amount of $5,034.50, is related to the cost recovery for a Driving While Under the Influence (“DUI”) incident. Collection efforts have been made per the Council/Administrative Policy No. 10-15, Collection Policy. The debt is past the California Statute of Limitations of 4 (four) years for this type of debt and therefore, should be written off.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.7
08/12/2025
SUBJECT: Approve and Authorize the City Manager to execute a Side Letter between the City of Brentwood and the Brentwood Police Officers’ Association
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
STAFF: Teresa Fairbanks, Acting Director of Human Resources

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Side Letter between the City of Brentwood and the Brentwood Police Officers’ Association to clarify patrol shift reassignment procedures following Sergeant promotions and Sergeant transfer procedures between Patrol and specialized assignments in the Memorandum of Understanding.

FISCAL IMPACT
The actions contemplated in the proposed side letter relate to internal operations and would not result in additional costs for the City.

BACKGROUND
The City remains committed to fairness and equity for its employees while maintaining competitive salaries and benefits. In alignment with these goals, the City also continues to pursue a fiscally responsible path that supports long-term sustainability for both its workforce and the Brentwood community, including maintaining healthy reserves and avoiding increases to unfunded obligations.

On November 12, 2024, the City Council approved a successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Brentwood and the Brentwood Police Officers’ Association (BPOA) for the term of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027. Per the requirements of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (California Government Code Sections 3500–3511), any modifications to the MOU must be mutually agreed upon by both parties.

Currently, when a promotion to the rank of Sergeant occurs, there is no formally established procedure for reassignment of patrol shifts among existing Sergeants.

Page 45 of 127 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.7
08/12/2025
The proposed amendment addresses this gap by instituting a “Promotional Sergeant Shift Rebid” process. Incorporating this language into the contract will enhance operational consistency and improve morale by providing clear expectations and procedures for post-promotion shift assignments.

Additionally, the current MOU does not include a formal procedure addressing Sergeant transfers between Patrol and specialized assignments. Incorporating clarifying language into the contract will enhance operational consistency, promote transparency, and support morale by establishing clear expectations and defined procedures for such transitions.

City representatives met with BPOA representatives and agreed to update Section 7, Work Schedule, of the MOU, specifically Section 7.6, Additional Patrol Team Selection Guidelines and Transfers Between Patrol and Specialized Assignments, as set forth in the side letter (Exhibit A).

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the side letter and formally amend the MOU to include clarifying language that addresses: 1) Sergeant patrol shift reassignment procedures following Sergeant promotions, and 2) Sergeant transfers between Patrol and specialized assignments. This recommendation is based on the need to enhance transparency, establish defined procedures, and promote operational consistency through clearly articulated expectations within the MOU.

The side letter was developed jointly by representatives from the City and BPOA, and has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney, as well as outside legal counsel specializing in employment law.

BPOA Side Letter – Work Schedule Sergeant 2025 1

SIDE LETTER

BETWEEN THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD
AND
THE BRENTWOOD POLICE OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION
The City of Brentwood (“City”) and the Brentwood Police Officers’ Association (“BPOA”), having met and conferred over the terms described herein, have mutually agreed to the following modifications to the 2024-2027 Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the City and Brentwood Police Officers’ Association.

SECTION VII WORK SCHEDULE

7.6 Additional Patrol Team Selection Guidelines - The annual shift change will occur as close as possible to, but not before, January 1st of each new year allowing for completion of work cycles and the FLSA work period. The patrol team selection process will be completed at least thirty (30) days prior to the annual shift change.

Prior to the patrol team selection process, management shall determine the number of officers assigned to each team. At least fourteen (14) days prior to the team selection process, all employees participating in the selection process will receive a schedule identifying available slots, the process for team selection, and a date and time for the employee to make their selection.

Team Selection Reservations – Once employees select a team, they will be guaranteed to remain on that team even if they are unable to work that team at the start of the shift year due to special assignment, leave of absence, disability, illness etc.

Promotional Sergeant Shift Rebid – When a Sergeant patrol shift becomes vacant during the year and a promotion occurs, the process in which to fill the vacant patrol shift will be in order of seniority in rank and will follow the principle of “first right of refusal.” The vacant shift will be offered in order of seniority with the most senior patrol Sergeant given the first chance to accept the shift. If the most senior patrol Sergeant declines, then the patrol Sergeant second in seniority will be offered the chance to accept the shift. This will continue in order of seniority until the shift is filled.

Once a Sergeant accepts the vacant shift, the process will restart if another shift becomes vacant. This shift rebid will continue until none of the patrol Sergeants want to change shifts. The newly promoted Sergeant will be assigned to the remaining vacant patrol shift.

The Police Department will make a good faith effort to notify all patrol Sergeants on approved leave of the Promotional Sergeant Shift Rebid.

EXHIBIT A
BPOA Side Letter – Work Schedule Sergeant 2025 2
Transfers Between Patrol and Specialized Assignments
Officers - When a patrol shift opening occurs due to the transfer of an officer from Patrol to a specialized assignment, the officers transferring between Patrol and the specialized assignment shall assume the other's Patrol team assignment (for the officer going to Patrol) and the work week and shift (for the officer going to the specialized assignment).

Officers transferred to Patrol will be eligible for seniority-based shift assignment during the next Patrol team selection process.

Sergeants – When a Sergeant transfers from a specialized assignment to Patrol (either voluntarily or otherwise), that Sergeant shall assume the Patrol assignment of the Sergeant transferring to the specialized assignment. The Sergeant transferred to Patrol will be eligible for seniority-based shift assignment during the next Patrol team selection process.

7.7 If an employee is required to work outside their regularly scheduled work hours to virtually or remotely perform any official duties including but not limited to meetings, training and court related activities the employee will be compensated as if the employee had personally appeared or attended. This provision does not apply to instances in which the assigned work is contiguous with the beginning or end of the employee’s regular scheduled shift.

08/12/2025
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution approving the 2025 Public Health Goal Report on drinking water to satisfy requirements of California Health and Safety Code Section 116470(b)
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
STAFF: Casey Wichert, Director of Public Works
James Wolfe, Water Operations Manager
Jacquelyn Parsons, Regulatory Compliance Supervisor

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the 2025 Public Health Goal report on drinking water to satisfy requirements of California Health and Safety Code Section 116470(b).

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no costs associated with the report. The preparation of the report ensures compliance with the State’s requirements.

BACKGROUND
As explained in greater detail below and in the attached report, ongoing evaluations show that the City’s drinking water quality meets all enforceable water standards that protect public health.

Public water systems serving more than 10,000 service connections must prepare a written report every three years that gives information on the detection of any contaminants above the Public Health Goals (“PHGs”) published by the state Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (“OEHHA”). The report must also list the detection of any contaminant above the Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (“MCLGs”) set by United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) for all other contaminants that the OEHHA does not yet have published PHGs.

As shown in Table 2 below, the City of Brentwood (“City”) has not exceeded any Maximum Contaminant Levels (“MCLs”). The USEPA and the California State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) Division of Drinking Water (“DDW”) establish MCLs at very conservative levels to provide protection to consumers. In other words, MCLs are the regulatory definition of what is safe. Adopted MCLs are the criteria for compliance, not MCLGs or PHGs (MCLGs and PHGs are not enforceable and are for informational purposes).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.1
08/12/2025
In conformance with State law, the attached Public Health Goal Report (“Report”) has been prepared. The Report provides information about the law and public health risks posed by the contaminants and discusses the best available treatment technology and associated costs to remove or reduce contaminants.

The Report summary states the drinking water provided by the City meets 100 percent of all enforceable SWRCB DDW and OEHHA primary drinking water standards.

Overall, arsenic, gross alpha particles, gross beta particles, Uranium and Hexavalent Chromium were detected in the City water system at concentrations above PHGs or MCLGs. However, at no time did the City serve water containing contaminants above recognized and enforceable MCLs. The drinking water quality of the City meets all drinking water standards to protect public health.

2025 Public Health Goal Report
2025 Triennial Public Health Goal Report Page 1
TRIENNIAL PUBLIC HEALTH GOAL REPORT 2025
Background
The California Health and Safety Code Section 116470(b) specifies water utilities serving more than 10,000 connections prepare a brief written report every three years that documents detections of any constituents that exceed a Public Health Goal (“PHG”) in the preceding three years. PHGs are non-enforceable goals established by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (“OEHHA”). The law also requires where OEHHA has not adopted a PHG for a constituent, water suppliers are to use the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (“MCLG”) adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”). MCLGs are also non-enforceable goals. Only constituents having both a California primary drinking water standard and a PHG or MCLG as of December 31, 2024 are to be addressed in the report.

This 2025 Triennial PHG Report covers constituents detected in the City’s water supply during calendar years 2022 through 2024 at a level exceeding an applicable PHG or MCLG and provides the required information for each constituent. Included is the numerical public health risk associated with the Maximum Contaminant Level (“MCL”) and the PHG or MCLG, the category or type of risk to health which could be associated with each constituent, the best technology available which could be used to reduce the constituent level, and an estimate of the cost to install the treatment if it is appropriate and feasible. In addition to this required report, the City will continue reporting annually in great depth on the quality of the water it serves in the Annual Water Quality Report, found on the City’s website.

What are PHGs?
PHGs are set by the OEHHA which is part of the California Environmental Protection Agency (“CalEPA”) and are based solely on public health risk considerations. None of the practical risk-management factors considered by the USEPA or the California State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) Division of Drinking Water (“DDW”) in setting drinking water standards (MCLs) are considered when setting the PHGs.

These factors include analytical detection capability, treatment technology available, benefits and costs.

PHGs are not enforceable and are not required to be met by any public water system. MCLGs are the federal equivalent to PHGs.

How Does OEHHA Establish a Public Health Goal?
The process for establishing a PHG for a chemical contaminant in drinking water is very rigorous. OEHHA scientists first compile all relevant scientific information available, which includes studies of the chemical's effects on laboratory animals and studies of humans who have been exposed to the chemical. Scientists use data from these studies to perform a health risk assessment, in which they determine the levels of the contaminant in drinking water that could be associated with various adverse health effects. When calculating a PHG, OEHHA uses all the information it has compiled to identify the level of the chemical in drinking water that would not cause significant adverse health effects in people who drink two liters of that water every day for 70 years. OEHHA must also consider any evidence of immediate and severe health effects, and vulnerable populations, when setting the PHG.

For cancer‐causing chemicals, OEHHA typically establishes the PHG at the “one‐in‐one million” risk level.

At that level, not more than one person in a population of one million people drinking two liters of water daily for 70 years would be expected to develop cancer as a result of exposure to that chemical.

2025 Public Health Goal Report
2025 Triennial Public Health Goal Report Page 2
Water Quality Data Considered
All of the water quality data collected from the City’s water system during calendar years 2022 through 2024 for purposes of determining compliance with drinking water standards was reviewed. The data was summarized in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 Annual Water Quality Report (“AWQRs”) that are available on City’s website and emailed to all of our customers each year.

Guidelines Followed
The Association of California Water Agencies (“ACWA”) formed a workgroup which prepared guidelines for water utilities to use in preparing these reports. The ACWA guidelines were updated in 2025 and were utilized in the preparation of this report. No formal guidance was available from state regulatory agencies.

Best Available Treatment Technology and Cost Estimates
Both the USEPA and SWRCB DDW adopt what are known as Best Available Technologies which are the best known methods of reducing contaminant levels to the MCL. Costs can be estimated for such technologies; however, since many PHGs and all MCLGs are set much lower than the MCL, it is not always possible or feasible to determine what treatment is needed to further reduce a constituent downward to or near the PHG or MCLG, many of which are set at zero. Estimating the costs to reduce a constituent to zero is difficult because it is not possible to verify by analytical means that the level has been lowered to zero.

In some cases, installing treatment to further reduce very low levels of one constituent may have adverse effects on other aspects of water quality.

Constituents Detected that Exceed a PHG or MCLG
The following is a discussion of constituents detected in the City’s drinking water at levels above the PHG, or if no PHG, above the MCLG.

Arsenic
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the earth's crust and is very widely distributed in the environment.

All humans are exposed to small quantities of arsenic (inorganic and organic) largely from food and to a lesser degree from drinking water and air. Some edible seafood may contain higher concentrations of arsenic which are predominantly found in the less acutely toxic organic forms. City wells have an average level of 1.8 parts per billion (ppb) of arsenic, which is well below the current “not-to-exceed” or MCL limit of 10 ppb of arsenic. Arsenic has not been detected in the surface water. The OEHHA has established a PHG of 0.004 ppb. OEHHA has determined arsenic as a carcinogen. OEHHA has a numerical cancer risk of one additional cancer case per million people for the 0.004 ppb PHG, and 1 in four hundred for the MCL of 10 ppb.

The best available treatment technologies identified to treat arsenic are reverse osmosis, and GFO/Adsorption.

Gross Alpha Particle Activity
Radionuclides such as gross alpha in water supplies are from erosion of natural deposits. The term radionuclide refers to naturally occurring elemental radium, radon, uranium, and thorium. Each of those elements has an unstable atomic nucleus which spontaneously decays producing ionizing radiation. Gross alpha is defined as the sum total of these radionuclides. Exposure to ionizing radiation in concentrations

Page 68 of 127 ends

2025 Public Health Goal Report
2025 Triennial Public Health Goal Report Page 3
exceeding the MCL may have carcinogenic (cancer causing), mutagenic (causing mutation of cells) or teratogenicity (causing abnormalities in offspring) effects. The USEPA's MCLG for gross alpha particle is zero picocuries per liter (pCi/L), and the California MCL is 15 pCi/L. Gross Alpha was detected in City wells and surface water with ranges between “Not Detected” to 6.98 with a weighted average below the detectable level of 4 pCi/L. Health risk category based on experimental animal testing data evaluated in the USEPA MCLG document and California MCL has determined gross alpha particle as a carcinogen. The USEPA’s MCLG for gross alpha is zero and a cancer risk of 1 additional case per million people for the DDW MCL of 15 pCi/L. Note: Cancer Risk = Theoretical 70-year lifetime excess cancer risk at a statistical confidence limit. Actual cancer risk may be lower or zero.

The best available treatment technologies identified to treat gross beta particle activity are ion exchange and reverse osmosis.

Gross Beta Particle Activity
Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as photons and beta radiation.

Gross Beta was detected in City wells and surface water with ranges between not detected to 5.8 with a weighted average below the detectable level of 3 pCi/L. There is no PHG for gross beta particle activity.

The MCLG is zero picocuries per liter (pCi/L), and the MCL is 50 pCi/L. The levels detected in the City system were below the MCL at all times, but were over the level identified by the USEPA as the MCLG.

DDW and USEPA, which set drinking water standards, have determined gross beta particle activity is a health concern at certain levels of exposure. This radiological constituent is a naturally occurring contaminant in some ground water and surface water supplies. The category of health risk associated with gross beta particle activity, and the reason a drinking water standard was adopted for it, is some people who drink water containing beta and photon emitters in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. The numerical health risk for the MCLG of zero pCi/L is zero. DDW and USEPA set the drinking water standard for gross beta particle activity at 50 pCi/L to reduce the risk of cancer or other adverse health effects.

The best available treatment technologies identified to treat gross beta particle activity are ion exchange and reverse osmosis.

Uranium
Naturally occurring uranium is found in groundwater supplies as a result of leaching from uranium-bearing sandstone, shale, and other rock formations. Uranium may also be present in surface water, carried through runoff from areas with mining operations. The City of Brentwood conducted monitoring of uranium in water samples collected from all wells. The samples collected from wells in three consecutive years of 2022 to 2024 contained an average of 1.65pCi/L uranium. The State of California has a MCL for uranium of 20 pCi/L and a PHG of 0.43 pCi/L based on the numerical health risk of one in a million. The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has determined uranium as a carcinogen, and has a numerical cancer risk of 1 x 10-6 for the 0.43 pCi/L PHG, and a cancer risk of 5 x 10-5 for the SWRCB Maximum Contaminant Level of 20 pCi/L. As previously described, 1 x 10-6 means 1 excess cancer case per million people; 5 x 10-5 means 5 excess cancer cases per 100,000 people. Additional health risks associated with long term drinking intake at levels above MCL are the increased risk of getting cancer and potential kidney problem. The levels detected in Brentwood were below MCL at all times.

The best available treatment technologies identified to treat uranium are ion exchange, reverse osmosis, lime softening, and coagulation/filtration.

2025 Public Health Goal Report
2025 Triennial Public Health Goal Report Page 4
Hexavalent Chromium
Chromium is a heavy metal that occurs throughout the environment. The hexavalent form occurs due to erosion of natural deposits; transformation of naturally occurring trivalent chromium by natural processes and human activities such as discharges from electroplating factories, leather tanneries, wood preservation, chemical synthesis, refractory production, and textile manufacturing facilities. City wells had an average of

5.3 parts per billion (ppb) of hexavalent chromium, and surface water had an average of 0.11 which is well below the current “not-to-exceed” or MCL limit of 10 ppb of hexavalent chromium. OEHHA has established a PHG of 0.02 ppb. OEHHA has determined hexavalent chromium as a carcinogen. OEHHA has a numerical cancer risk of 5 x 10-5 or five additional cancer cases per ten thousand people for the 0.02 ppb PHG.

The best available treatment technology identified to treat hexavalent chromium is reverse osmosis.

Recommendations for Further Action
The City’s drinking water quality meets all DDW and USEPA drinking water standards set to protect public health. The levels of constituents identified in this report are already significantly below the health-based MCLs established to provide safe drinking water. Further reductions in these levels would require additional costly treatment processes and the ability of these processes to provide significant additional reductions in constituent levels is uncertain. The best available technology for reducing all listed constituents is reverse osmosis. The estimated cost to construct reverse osmosis systems to remove constituents in the City groundwater and surface water system would be over $659.8 million. The total annual operation and maintenance costs of the system would be over $29.3 million. In addition, the health protection benefits of these possible reductions are not at all clear and may not be quantifiable. For these reasons, no action is proposed at his time.

Page 75 of 127 ends

Page 2 of 14 ends

 Barnes & Noble: Opened at the Streets of Brentwood in spring 2025, bringing back a nationally recognized bookstore to the community and fulfilling long-standing resident demand for more retail diversity. The store not only enhances the city’s retail offerings but also serves as a cultural and educational asset, supporting local book signings, author events, and family programming. City staff played a key role in assisting with permit coordination and facilitating timely communication between the company, property managers, and City departments to ensure a smooth and efficient opening. The new location is expected to draw regional foot traffic and support other surrounding businesses in the retail center.
 Lazy Dog Diner: Although approved by the Planning Commission and City Council in 2024, acquisition of the project site is still pending. Staff continues to work with the developer’s broker, Lazy Dog representatives, and the ByPass Authority to secure a compatible use— potentially a restaurant or hotel—on the remaining parcel.  Sunflower Hill Special Needs Housing: Staff has been in active discussions with the nonprofit on potential housing opportunities. A site visit to the Pleasanton project was conducted with the Mayor and Interim City Manager, and several potential Brentwood sites have been shared for consideration. Council review will follow upon receipt of a formal letter of interest.
 Brentwood Ice Cream: A locally owned startup is preparing to open adjacent to Trader Joe’s at Lone Tree Plaza, using locally grown fruits and vegetables. Staff has provided support through permitting and marketing assistance and connected the business to regional partners such as Harvest Time, the Chamber, and the Workforce Investment Board.
 VR Reality: A new virtual reality entertainment business that secured a location at Sand Creek Crossings with support from City staff, who assisted with site selection and permitting coordination. VR Reality will offer interactive experiences for all ages and is expected to enhance Brentwood’s family-friendly entertainment options.  Sunset Industrial Park: Complementing the City’s focus on employment-generating uses, the owner of the final 3-acre infill parcel within Sunset Industrial Park is proposing the development of three industrial buildings totaling approximately 51,000 square feet. The project is intended to accommodate light industrial or advanced manufacturing tenants and will contribute to the City's long-term job growth strategy. Groundbreaking is anticipated in 2026, with City staff continuing to provide support throughout the entitlement and permitting phases.

Page 76 of 127 ends

Page 3 of 14 ends

 Harvest Commerce Center: Building on the momentum of industrial development, a separate project at the Harvest Commerce Center will add a new 27,000-square-foot industrial building, with construction expected to begin later this year. The facility is designed to serve light industrial, manufacturing, or flex-office users, and will further expand Brentwood’s capacity to attract and retain job-creating businesses. City staff remain actively engaged with the developer to facilitate project approvals and ensure alignment with economic development goals.

2. Innovation Center Implementation
The Innovation Center continues to be a central focus of Brentwood’s long-term economic development strategy, envisioned as a hub for advanced manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and mixed-use development. In the first half of 2025, staff advanced infrastructure, land use planning, and developer engagement to support future growth and investment.  Utility Easements: Staking for utility easement extensions was completed prior to yearend. Public Works continues to coordinate with Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) on resolving an easement issue. Bidding for the project is contingent on CCWD approval.  Sand Creek Road Extension: A key milestone in infrastructure implementation was the completion of the Sand Creek Road extension, which enhances connectivity and access to the western portion of the Innovation Center. The City celebrated the project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 28, 2025, and the roadway officially opened to the public on February 10, 2025. This infrastructure investment not only improves regional mobility but also increases the marketability of adjacent sites by providing critical access for industrial and commercial users. The extension is expected to play a significant role in attracting businesses in targeted industries such as light manufacturing, clean energy, and medical services by addressing logistical and transportation needs essential for business operations. Staff will continue to leverage this improvement in marketing efforts and conversations with prospective developers and end users.  Costco Grand Opening: City staff worked closely with Costco’s real estate and development teams throughout the entitlement and construction process to support a smooth project delivery. The store officially opened on March 7, 2025, and now serves as a major regional anchor, drawing significant consumer traffic and supporting surrounding retail activity.
 Industrial Market Outreach: Staff conducted virtual meetings with three industrial developers active in the Tri-Valley and Sacramento regions to promote Brentwood’s available sites and gather feedback. A consistent theme from these conversations was that Brentwood's land costs and infrastructure gaps remain a competitive disadvantage compared to cities like Fairfield, Vacaville, Roseville, and Sacramento, where business

parks often have utilities in place, minimal land use conflicts, and more competitive pricing. In contrast, neighboring communities such as Antioch and Oakley are attracting warehouse and logistics developments—uses that are truck-dependent and typically yield fewer, lower-wage jobs. For example, Antioch recently announced the upcoming groundbreaking of a 400,000+ square foot warehouse facility. Staff will continue to monitor market trends and refine Brentwood’s outreach strategy to focus on higher-wage industrial and advanced manufacturing users.
 Market-Rate Multifamily Development: A developer recruited by City staff has entered into contract to build approximately 150 units on a 7-acre site along Heidorn Ranch Road, located on the west side of the Innovation Center. The developer will extend utilities to the site, with future builders contributing through a pro-rata cost-sharing arrangement.

The project’s feasibility is tied to the City maintaining its current 13% affordable housing requirement, as an increase could render the project financially unviable. A meeting with the Mayor and Interim City Manager is planned ahead of the entitlement process, which is expected to begin this fall.
 Mixed-Use Potential: In conjunction with the multifamily project, the developer is also exploring acquisition of a neighboring 20-acre mixed-use site. Advancement of this opportunity is contingent on amendments to the Specific Plan to support horizontal mixed-use and a “main street” layout with 20,000–30,000 square feet of retail and office space. This concept is being considered in response to ongoing concerns about retail oversaturation in the corridor between Lone Tree Way and Sand Creek Road.  Ongoing Marketing & Developer Engagement: Staff continues to promote development opportunities at the Innovation Center through a multi-channel marketing strategy that includes LinkedIn outreach, cold calls, developer Zoom meetings, and conference networking. Recent efforts included follow-up meetings with developers met at the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Conference in Denver, where staff promoted both mixed-use and industrial opportunities. The City is also leveraging a promotional video, digital, and targeted print ads placed on LinkedIn and publications such as the San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley Business Journal to raise awareness and attract investment interest.
 Sutter Health: Sutter Health owns a 7-acre parcel adjacent to the Streets of Brentwood and has long-term plans to construct up to 80,000 square feet of medical office space in multiple phases. This development will expand local access to healthcare services and generate high-quality, well-paying jobs in the medical sector. The first phase, anticipated to be approximately 30,000 square feet, is expected to be submitted for review by the end of 2025. City staff remain in communication with Sutter representatives to support entitlement readiness and coordinate infrastructure planning as the project advances.

 Specific Plan Amendments: In May, the City finalized a contract with a consultant to begin updates to the Innovation Center Specific Plan. These amendments will enable horizontal mixed-use development, allowing for a more flexible and market-responsive land use framework that supports residential, commercial, and employment uses on the same site.

The updates will also incorporate provisions to comply with AB 98, which introduces new state regulations for warehouse developments. This effort reflects the City’s commitment to responsible growth and regulatory alignment while enhancing the marketability of the Innovation Center to prospective developers.

3. Business Retention & Expansion
Supporting and retaining existing businesses is a critical component of the City’s economic development strategy. Efforts in this area focus on proactive outreach, technical assistance, and facilitating improvements to commercial and industrial properties.  Economic Development Incentive Program: Staff is in the process of enhancing the City’s existing Economic Development Incentive Program to better support commercial and industrial reinvestment. The updated package will include incentives aimed at encouraging new construction, property improvements, and business expansion in key areas. These proposed revisions are intended to increase Brentwood’s competitiveness in attracting and retaining high-value projects. A draft of the updated program will be presented to the Land Use and Development Committee (LUD) later this year for discussion and input.
 Scholars Academy: Staff has supported this private education and recreation business over the past two years in locating a new headquarters. A suitable space was recently identified in the Sunset Industrial Park, with minimal tenant improvements required.  Streets of Brentwood: Weekly coordination meetings have been held with the property owner’s development team and City planning staff. The Planning Commission unanimously approved new buildings and site improvements on April 1, 2025. Significant enhancements, including landscaping, signage, and the addition of new restaurant and retail tenants, are anticipated in late summer and fall of 2025.  Sunset Industrial Park: Staff met with property owners to discuss a Planned Development (PD) amendment that would allow professional office uses on second floors, expanding the flexibility of available space.
 Dollar General Retail Center: The retail center on Brentwood Boulevard was recently purchased by the owners of the nearby Sand Creek/Brentwood Boulevard center. Staff

Page 6 of 14 ends

plans to meet with the new ownership to discuss their proposed upgrades and investment plans for the site.

4. Downtown Vitality & Activities
Downtown Brentwood remains a focal point for community engagement, small business activity, and placemaking. Staff continues to collaborate with key partners and stakeholders to enhance the downtown experience, support business retention, and attract new investment that contributes to long-term vitality.
 Downtown Brentwood Coalition (DBC): A new Executive Director was appointed in April, and City staff met with the Executive Director to review the existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), discuss progress on the Women’s Club building improvements, and align on shared priorities for downtown revitalization and programming. o Women’s Club Building: Renovations to the City-owned Women’s Club building—managed by the DBC—are ongoing. Recent upgrades include asbestos removal, new flooring, a new A/C unit, and significant landscape improvements.

ADA compliance upgrades are expected to be completed later this year. These improvements will help activate the space for expanded use in community gatherings, cultural programming, and other public events.  Tarrar Office Space: Staff is actively working with the property owner of the newly developed Tarrar office space, located in downtown, to attract and secure professional office tenants. The space offers modern amenities and a prime location within walking distance to restaurants, retail, and public events, making it well-suited for small firms, start-ups, and service-oriented businesses.
 Developer & Investor Interest: Staff continues to engage with prospective developers and investors interested in acquiring and renovating downtown properties. These discussions support the City’s broader strategy for revitalizing legacy assets and enhancing retail and dining offerings.

5. Marketing, Outreach & Lead Generation
Marketing and outreach are essential to positioning Brentwood as an attractive destination for business investment and development. Staff has continued to expand the City’s visibility through digital campaigns, industry engagement, and data-driven lead generation.  Community Profile & Business Development Guide: Staff is working with a consultant to update the City’s Business Development Guide and produce a Community Profile. These

Page 80 of 127 ends

Page 7 of 14 ends

materials will serve as core marketing tools to highlight Brentwood’s economic strengths, demographics, and quality of life to developers and business prospects.  Strategic Targeting of High-Growth Companies: The City uses Lightcast.io – Gazelle, a business intelligence platform that identifies companies in a high-growth phase based on employment and revenue trends. This tool allows staff to pinpoint firms in compatible markets—particularly in the Pacific Northwest, East Coast, and similar regions—with socio-economic conditions such as wages, housing costs, access to talent, and venture capital that align with those of the San Francisco Bay Area. These similarities make companies in these regions more likely to consider expansion into Brentwood.

To capitalize on this data, staff actively conducts targeted outreach—including emails, cold calls, and meeting coordination—to recruit businesses in key sectors such as:
o Technology
o Fusion (clean energy)
o Medical Devices
o Light Industry
o Advanced Manufacturing
o AgTech
In contrast, firms based in lower-cost markets such as the South and Midwest—where wages, housing, land costs, and access to capital are substantially lower—are generally less likely to relocate to higher-cost areas like the Bay Area. As a result, Brentwood’s recruitment strategy focuses on regions and companies with a higher potential for successful expansion into comparable markets.
 Digital Marketing Campaign: The City is partnering with a digital marketing consultant to execute a LinkedIn-based advertising strategy targeting C-suite executives in priority sectors, including commercial real estate, industrial manufacturing, and life sciences. The campaign promotes Brentwood’s development potential, business-friendly environment, and high quality of life to attract investment and business expansion. From March through June 2025, the campaign generated over 34,000 impressions, 629 link clicks, 648 ad engagements, and 88 new LinkedIn followers. Campaign materials continue to be refined to align with audience interests and maximize visibility among key decisionmakers. (Note: An “impression” on LinkedIn is counted each time content is displayed on a user’s screen, regardless of whether they interact with it.)  Industry Engagement (Conferences, Trade Shows & Events): As part of ongoing efforts to market Brentwood and attract business investment, staff participated in a series of targeted industry events to promote the City and position the Brentwood Innovation Center as a competitive location for future growth. At the World Ag Expo in Tulare, staff

Page 81 of 127 ends

Page 8 of 14 ends

engaged directly with AgTech firms whose proximity to active agricultural land makes Brentwood an appealing expansion site. This outreach supports the City’s goal of aligning agricultural innovation with its local economic base.

At the Econic Retail Summit in Mountain View, staff gained insights into retail trends across the Bay Area and California by engaging with tenant and landlord representatives.

These conversations led to connections with two developers and retailers who later visited Brentwood to explore potential development opportunities, a direct result of the City’s active marketing presence.

To stay ahead of trends in industrial development, staff attended National Association of Industrial and Office Parks (NAIOP’s) “What’s Next for the Dynamic Industrial Market” webinar on March 13. With Brentwood focused on attracting light industry, advanced manufacturing, and tech uses—rather than warehousing and logistics—these insights are critical to refining the City’s outreach strategy. While the broader industrial market in California remains challenged, staff continues to position Brentwood as an ideal location for job-generating, innovation-driven businesses.

In addition, staff participated in several other events to raise Brentwood’s profile and expand its network of potential partners and investors. These included regular attendance at East Bay Economic Development Alliance (EDA) meetings, the East Bay Market Outlook 2025, NAIOP’s Industrial Outlook in Oakland, a multi-family and mixeduse development workshop in Berkeley, and the Urban Land Institute (ULI) conference in Denver. Notably, staff also served as a panelist at the Smart Cities Conference in San Francisco, showcasing the Brentwood Innovation Center to a global audience and reinforcing the City’s commitment to future-ready development.  New Promotional Banner: Staff designed a new event banner to be used at community and professional events such as the Farmers Market and East bay Business Expo & Job Fair, with messaging tailored to engage local tech and healthcare professionals. The goal is to connect with residents who commute out of Brentwood for work and initiate conversations that could lead to employer expansions or relocations within the city. This approach supports Brentwood’s broader business attraction strategy, with past successes including the expansion of Bass Medical Group and Golden State Orthopedics—both headquartered in Walnut Creek—as well as the planned 2026 development of new medical offices by Sutter Health, which will bring high-quality jobs closer to home for local residents.
 Innovation Center Video Update: Staff re-engaged the original production team to update the Innovation Center video to include Costco, the Sand Creek Road extension, and other recent milestones. This video will be complete in the summer and wills serve as a marketing asset for outreach to developers and industry leaders.

Page 82 of 127 ends

Page 9 of 14 ends

These coordinated marketing efforts continue to position Brentwood as a competitive destination for business investment. By combining digital outreach, data-driven targeting, and direct industry engagement, the City is proactively building awareness, generating leads, and laying the foundation for future economic growth.

Special Initiatives
Economic Development Grant Program
The City continues to support local business development and community engagement through targeted grant funding. Staff works with partner organizations to deliver technical assistance, events, and business visibility initiatives.
 Small Business Development Center (SBDC) In-Person Training: Between January and June 2025, the East Bay Small Business Development Center (SBDC), in partnership with the City of Brentwood and the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce, provided targeted oneon-one in-person advising to 28 small businesses—22 of which are located in Brentwood.

A total of 64 advising sessions were held (29 in person and 35 virtual), delivering over 71 hours of counseling on topics such as business planning, marketing, HR, and funding. The program supported a diverse group of entrepreneurs, with 61% women-owned and 46% minority-owned businesses. In addition to individual advising, three Brentwood businesses participated in five SBDC-led workshops. The cumulative impact of the advising program includes sustaining 49 businesses, creating or retaining 69 full-time and 34 part-time jobs, and supporting a reported $1.5 million in equity capital raised outside Brentwood. These outcomes reflect the City's ongoing commitment to strengthening local small businesses through capacity building and technical assistance.  Lunar New Year Parade: The inaugural Lunar New Year Parade, hosted by the Heritage High School Chinese Cultural Club, brought an estimated 900 attendees to Downtown Brentwood, according to foot traffic data. This cultural celebration not only fostered community pride and inclusion but also generated increased foot traffic to nearby businesses, providing a boost in visibility and potential sales for local retailers and restaurants. Events like this help activate the downtown core, support small business vibrancy, and contribute to Brentwood’s appeal as a welcoming and lively destination.  East Bay Businesses Expo & Job Fair: The 2025 East Bay Business Expo & Job Fair, organized by the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce, was a free public event that provided local businesses and entrepreneurs a platform to network, promote their services, and connect with potential customers and employees in a professional setting.

City staff hosted a booth at the event to engage with local businesses and job seekers while promoting Brentwood as a prime location for investment and highlighting opportunities at the Brentwood Innovation Center. The event attracted over 600

Page 83 of 127 ends

Page 10 of 14 ends

participants and supported the local economy by increasing business visibility, strengthening the job market, and reinforcing Brentwood’s position as a vibrant hub for growth and opportunity.

Agricultural Enterprise Program
Brentwood’s local farms have always been central to the City’s culture and economy – and the City has been exploring new ways to support its local farmers, preserve its farming heritage, and use its 11,000-acre “Agricultural Core” as a potential engine for economic growth.  U-Pick Capital: Designated the U-Pick Capital of the U.S. in 2024, the City has been collaborating with the local nonprofit Harvest Time to promote this recognition and develop strategies to capture the attention of over 500,000 annual visitors. The City’s goal is to expand the visitor experience beyond agricultural areas by encouraging exploration of other parts of Brentwood. This effort supports the growth of a destination-driven economy centered on agritourism and local business engagement.  Contra Costa AVA Certification: In January, the Contra Costa Wine Growers celebrated the official certification of the Contra Costa American Viticultural Area (AVA) and launched a regional promotional campaign. This designation enhances the visibility and competitiveness of local wine growers, supporting increased sales, brand recognition, and long-term industry growth. The certification positions the Brentwood region to compete nationally and strengthens its potential as a wine destination. The City played a key role by funding the initial AVA Certification Feasibility Study through its Agricultural Enterprise Program.
 Agricultural Innovation Center: The City owns a 7-acre property at 3900 Sellers Avenue and is actively planning the development of a future Agricultural Innovation Center.

Before moving forward, the City must comply with the State Surplus Land Act, which requires several procedural steps. Key components of the process have been completed, and staff anticipate submitting a formal request to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by the end of the summer.

Better in Brentwood
Better in Brentwood is a city‑ funded promotional program, managed by Michelle Lassle Consulting, designed to highlight and celebrate Brentwood’s local businesses, events, and community initiatives. Through a mix of online business and non-profit organization spotlights, social media engagement, and presence at community gatherings, the program raises the profile of Brentwood’s entrepreneurs and strengthens connections among residents, visitors, and business owners. By amplifying small business successes, supporting local economic activity,

Page 84 of 127 ends

Page 11 of 14 ends

and fostering community pride, Better in Brentwood serves as a strategic city investment in sustainable local economic development.

Between January and June 2025, Michelle Lassle Consulting continued to grow the Better in Brentwood campaign through social media engagement, event participation, and business promotion. The Instagram account reached over 16,000 followers, with standout content including a March 1st reel announcing the Brentwood Costco grand opening (62,213 views) and a Juneteenth celebration reel posted June 20 (31,396 views and 85 new followers). These videos significantly boosted visibility and community engagement, especially among non-followers.

The team also hosted a booth at the May 17 Makers Boulevard event, distributing 150 tote bags, 250 branded t-shirts, and other merchandise while educating attendees about the campaign.

Despite weather challenges, the booth attracted new and returning visitors and strengthened awareness of Better in Brentwood's purpose.

In addition, the campaign continued highlighting local businesses across the city, attending ribbon cuttings, and supporting new openings such as The Yard, Creative Station Bar, and Artisan Peacock. Planning is already underway for future spotlights, merchandise launches, and continued participation in local events.

Surplus Property Disposition
City staff continues to manage the sale and potential reuse of surplus City-owned properties.

These transactions are intended to unlock development opportunities and activate underutilized sites.
 Oak Street & Walnut Boulevard: A Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) was finalized in March. Proposed as “The Grove” project, the site presents both challenges and potential due to its triangular shape, proximity to the railroad and light-industrial uses, and location just outside the Downtown Core. Despite these constraints, its position at a key western entry point into Downtown makes it a highly strategic site for revitalization. Thoughtful, mixed-use development here supports Brentwood’s long-term goals of concentrating activity in walkable areas, reducing sprawl, and enhancing downtown vitality. With strategic design, The Grove has the potential to serve as a catalytic gateway project— boosting pedestrian activity and generating lasting economic and community benefits.

City staff will continue to support the developer throughout the entitlement and development process to help realize this vision.
 498 Fairview Avenue: Staff finalized a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) with a local dentist for the development of a new 5,000–7,000 square foot medical office building on this City-owned site. The buyer intends to establish a long-term presence in the community, bringing professional jobs and reinvestment to the area. The transaction is

Page 85 of 127 ends

Page 12 of 14 ends

expected to close escrow in September 2025, and staff will continue to assist the buyer through the pre-development and entitlement process to support a smooth and timely project delivery.
 CD Manufacturing Building: In April, staff completed a property condition assessment of the City-owned CD Manufacturing Building to evaluate its current structural and operational state. The assessment is part of a broader effort to explore adaptive reuse opportunities that align with community needs. City staff is actively working in partnership with the Parks & Recreation Department to identify potential future uses for the site, which could include community-serving programming, recreational facilities, or cultural space.
 Guthrie/Harvest Property: Staff received an unsolicited offer for this vacant industrially zoned site. A Broker’s Price Opinion (BPO) will be prepared to evaluate the proposal before moving forward with negotiation and entitlement requirements.  San Jose Avenue & Sand Creek Road: Staff led site tours with Sunflower Hill representatives in early April. The organization is evaluating the properties and may submit a letter of interest for development of special needs housing.

These surplus property initiatives reflect the City’s strategic approach to leveraging underutilized public assets to support community needs, economic development, and long-term revitalization goals. By facilitating private investment, promoting job-generating uses, and exploring adaptive reuse opportunities, Brentwood is positioning these sites to deliver meaningful public benefit. As these projects progress, staff will continue to play an active role in guiding each through predevelopment, entitlement, and implementation, ensuring alignment with the City’s broader vision for sustainable growth and community enhancement.

Key Performance Indicators (January–June 2025)
To evaluate progress and ensure accountability, the City of Brentwood tracks a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that align with its economic development goals. These metrics provide a quantitative snapshot of the City’s outreach, business support, community engagement, and investment promotion activities during the first half of 2025.  Business Consultations: 12
Staff provided one-on-one assistance to businesses through in-person and virtual meetings. Support included site selection, permitting guidance, business licensing, and access to capital resources.
 Developer/Broker Outreach: 54

Attendance figures reflect the City's ability to attract and engage residents and visitors through cultural programming and public events that support small business visibility and community vitality.
o Easy Bay Business Expo & Job Fair: 600
o Lunar New Year Festival: 900
o Juneteenth: 4,800
o Concerts in the Park (June 13 and 16): 6,900
o Movies in the Park (April 18 and May 16): 1,500
 Conferences & Workshops Attended: 10
Staff actively participated in regional and national industry forums to stay informed on market trends and promote Brentwood as a destination for retail, industrial, and mixeduse development. At select events, staff hosted informational booths to showcase available sites and engage directly with investors and developers.

These performance metrics demonstrate the City’s active role in driving economic development and fostering a vibrant business climate. The consistent engagement with businesses, developers, and the community underscores Brentwood’s commitment to thoughtful growth and economic inclusivity. As staff continues to track and refine these KPIs, they will remain a valuable tool in guiding future priorities, measuring impact, and ensuring the City remains responsive to both market opportunities and community needs.

Conclusion
The first half of 2025 has been marked by meaningful progress across all areas of Brentwood’s economic development strategy. From the grand opening of key anchors like Costco and Barnes & Noble to ongoing infrastructure improvements and targeted outreach to high-growth industries, the City has laid a strong foundation for long-term economic vitality.

Page 87 of 127 ends

Page 14 of 14 ends

Staff have continued to execute a balanced approach—combining business attraction, retention, and placemaking—to ensure Brentwood remains competitive, resilient, and responsive to evolving market trends. Efforts to support small businesses, enhance downtown vibrancy, and activate underutilized public assets have further advanced the City’s vision for a dynamic and inclusive local economy.

As the City moves into the second half of the year, ongoing priorities will include the advancement of the Innovation Center Specific Plan updates, continued surplus property activations, development of revised incentive tools, and expanded marketing to high-potential industry targets. By aligning development activity with infrastructure investments, policy updates, and community values, Brentwood is well-positioned to attract quality jobs, increase fiscal sustainability, and improve quality of life for all residents.

Staff remain committed to transparency, collaboration, and strategic execution and will continue to provide regular updates to the City Council and broader community as initiatives evolve.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
08/12/2025
SUBJECT: Vineyards at Marsh Creek Event Lawn & Event Center DEPARTMENT: Engineering
Parks & Recreation
STAFF: Allen Baquilar, Director of Engineering/City Engineer E. Harith Aleem, Jr., Director of Parks & Recreation

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on the Vineyards at Marsh Creek Event Center/Amphitheater Phase I, CIP No. 337-37231, (“Project”); and provide direction regarding the Event Lawn amenities and the Event/Performing Arts Center including the use of associated funds.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Project is included in the adopted 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program with a total budget of $9,400,000. After accounting for the 30% design costs, approximately $8,764,000 remains available in the Project budget. Current funding sources for the Project are summarized as follows:

Funding Source Budget Amount
Vineyards Project Fund $5,018,942
Vineyards Event Center Fund $4,031,058
Public Art Acquisition Fund $350,000
Total $9,400,000
The source of the Vineyards Project Fund amount is Development Impact Fees charged to the developer of the Vineyards. The source of the Vineyards Event Center Fund is a $3,672,000 contribution by the developer of the Vineyards specifically for the event center Project, along with approximately $359,000 of interest earned by the City on the contribution that is not restricted to the Project. The remaining amount from the Public Art Acquisition Fund is for use on public art for Project’s public.

There is sufficient funding in the project budget for the proposed Phase I as detailed in the Background section below. Proposed Project Phase II and Phase III have estimated funding shortfalls of $9.5 million and $9 million, respectively.

Page 89 of 127 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
08/12/2025
If only Phase I of the Project is completed, any excess funding would be returned to the Vineyards Project Fund, which could then be returned to the various Development Impact Fee Funds in proportion to the original fee allocation, upon Council direction.

Future ongoing operations and maintenance (O&M) cost estimates for each proposed Phase of the Project are as follows:

Phase Description Construction Cost Estimated O&M
I Event Lawn, Restroom &
Parking Lot
$8,705,043 $70,000 per year
II 750-seat Amphitheater &
Expanded Parking Lot
$9,500,000 $300,000 per year
III Expanded 1000-seat
Amphitheater + 10,000 sf
Event Center
$9,000,000 $400,000 per year
Due to the isolated location of the Project and limited visibility from Vineyards Parkway, additional operational costs may be incurred for site security and to address potential vandalism.

This estimated O&M cost would change, depending on the scope of maintenance, programming and other operational considerations, such as the potential of offsetting revenues from ticket sales, reservation fees, and inflation.

Funding for O&M would be provided primarily from the General Fund, with a small portion funded from revenue from Landscape and Lighting Assessment District 06-3.

The ten-year General Fund Fiscal Model (“Fiscal Model”), includes a placeholder for estimated annual Vineyards Project O&M costs of $400,000 beginning in FY 2026/27.

The Fiscal Model projects a remaining Budget Stabilization Fund balance of $2.1 million at the end of the ten year projection timeframe.

As previously directed by the City Council, staff will continue to explore grant opportunities and partnerships to provide additional funding towards the project.

BACKGROUND
The Vineyards at Brentwood Amphitheater Project was established as part of a broader vision to enhance community amenities and cultural programming within the Vineyards development area for all residents to enjoy. The project, initiated in 2004,

Page 90 of 127 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
08/12/2025
was conceived to transform a site along Vineyards Parkway into a multi-use community venue capable of hosting outdoor events, performances, and civic gatherings.

Funding for the project was provided through a combination of Development Impact Fees, a developer contribution specifically earmarked for a project on this site, and Public Art Acquisition Funds.

Since its inception, the City Council has received numerous updates and provided direction on advancing the project through a phased approach, balancing community priorities, budget considerations, and long-term operational costs. As a result the project has changed significantly since first planned and could continue to evolve as the City Council determines the need of the community based upon current and future financial constraints. The project is proposed in the following three phases:

PHASE I – Event Law, Restrooms & Parking Lot
Estimated Construction
Cost:
~$8.7 million
Estimated Annual
O&M:
~$70,000
Purpose: Establish a functional outdoor space for community events and serve as foundational infrastructure for future phases.

Scope: 81-stall parking lot, ~33,600 sq. ft. event lawn and small event stage, small event stage, playground,
shaded canopy, landscaping, restroom and maintenance
building
PHASE II– 750 Seat Amphitheater and Expanded Parking

O&M:
~$400,000
Purpose: Create a year-round venue for indoor and outdoor events, serving as a cultural and civic anchor for the community.

Scope: Expanded amphitheater seating capacity to 1,000, +/- 10,000 sq. ft. indoor Event Center, potentially used for weddings, conferences, art exhibits, camps and
educational programs and corporate and cultural events
On March 11, 2025, the City Council received an update on the Project with a conceptual layout and renderings for Phase I (Attachment 2). The City Council approved moving forward with the design of Phase I, assessing the feasibility of an Event Center and for staff to provide a menu of options with estimated costs prior to finalizing designs of Phase I.

The latest cost estimate for Phase I that was prepared by HLCM, Inc., is included as Attachment 3, and is summarized in the following table for City Council consideration and direction. The table below summarizes cost estimates, including optional additions and potential deductive alternatives

The base scope of the Project, including a 5% contingency, is estimated at $8,705,043. The total remaining funding available for design and construction is approximately $8,764,000, leaving about $59,000 available for additional scope items at the City Council’s discretion. As summarized in the table above, “Add Alternates” are optional items that may be added at an additional cost. Options that could reduce the total Project cost are also included for consideration.

In addition, the Finance Department has identified approximately $584,000 in unallocated Vineyards Project Funds, that the City Council may choose to allocate toward this Project to support further contingency or additional features.

As discussed at the previous City Council meeting, the City does not currently have sufficient funding to develop both the Phase I Event Lawn and a 10,000-square-foot Event Center. Including an Event Center in Phase I would require an estimated $9 million in additional funding. While the Event Center was originally envisioned to host weddings, corporate events, art exhibits, classes, camps, conferences, and festivals, the City Council may determine that a different facility—such as a Black Box Theater—could better meet the community’s needs.

Design work for an Event Center or similar facility has not yet begun. However, conceptual renderings prepared by DLR Group, Inc. are included in Attachment 4 for reference.

NEXT STEPS & COUNCIL DIRECTION
The purpose of this agenda item is to receive City Council direction on whether to proceed with Phase I of the Project—the Event Lawn and associated amenities. If the City Council wishes to move forward, staff seeks input on which components to include or exclude, as outlined in the cost estimate table and list of optional alternatives.

Additionally, if the City Council is interested in developing an Event Center or an alternative facility such as a Black Box Theater as part of the Project, staff requests that direction be provided at this meeting to initiate the necessary planning, design,

Project Title: * MULTI-YEAR * Project #:

Vineyards at Marsh Creek - Event Center/Amphitheater Phase I 337-37231 Description/Justification:

The project site is within the Vineyards at Marsh Creek development. Consistent with a development agreement between the City and the developer of the Vineyards at Marsh Creek, the developer has submitted a total of $3.5 million, plus interest, to the City for the design and construction of the project. Due to cost escalations, Phase I has been revised to consist of a parking lot and event lawn area, Phase II would expand to a 750-seat Amphitheater, box office with amenities and Phase III would include an event center. Phases II and III are currently unfunded. Design on Phase I has commenced and construction is anticipated to begin in Summer 2026.

Project Status:

The project is currently in the design phase and construction is planned to begin Summer 2026.

Supplemental Information:

Due to rising costs of construction, City Council directed staff to 1) Move forward with the design of a new Phase I (Event Lawn) which consists of a parking lot, lawn area and stage 2) Identify portions of the project eligible for Public Art Acquisition Funds and 3) Access beginning designs on Phase III (Event Center) to be built concurrently with Phase I. This project is funded by $4,031,058 from the Vineyards Event Center Fund, $350,000 from the Public Art Acquisition Fund and the remainder from the Vineyards Projects Fund. Staff is working on identifying portions of the project that are eligible for Public Art Acquisition Funds.

The event center will be a future phase of the project that will be funded through the Development Fee Program. Future annual O & M costs shall be funded through a combination of General Fund and Landscape and Lighting Assessment District 06-3. This project was included in the City’s Strategic Plan for FY 2022/23 - FY 2023/24.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.3
08/12/2025
SUBJECT: Pickleball and Tennis Courts Hours of Operation at Creekside Park Update and updates on alternative Pickleball Court sites DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office
STAFF: Darin Gale, Interim City Manager
E. Harith Aleem Jr, Director of Parks and Recreation
Aaron Wanden, Parks Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council (1) receive, discuss, and provide direction on Vice Mayor Pierson’s request to adjust the Creekside Park pickleball courts hours of operation of 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m., and provide direction on alternative pickleball court sites.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with discussion of this agenda item. It is estimated that the current annual cost associated with opening and closing the pickleball courts is approximately $24,000 (based on the hourly rate for a Senior Recreation Leader, Step E). The General Fund is the source of funding for hours of operation staffing costs, and a Mid-Year Operating Budget amendment request, will be presented to City Council in January 2026.

At the Mid-Term Operating Budget review at the City Council meeting on July 1, 2025, an updated two-year 2024/25 -2025/26 General Fund projection was presented.

Although the projection showed a positive result from ongoing operations and a likely surplus in FY 2024/25, the increase in the required 30% General Fund reserve is projected to result in a draw from the Budget Stabilization Fund of $450,000 in FY 2025/26.

The current General Fund Fiscal Model projects a remaining Budget Stabilization Fund balance of $2.1 million at the end of the ten-year projection timeframe.

BACKGROUND
The Creekside Park Pickleball Courts project was originally identified as a Strategic Initiative in the City’s FY 2020/21 – FY 2021/22 Strategic Plan. However, the

Page 123 of 127 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.3
08/12/2025
project was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In July 2023, the City Council awarded a construction contract, and the courts were completed in August 2024.

Following completion, staff presented an operational update to the Parks and Recreation Commission in August 2024. Based on the Commission's feedback, several adjustments were made to enhance safety, accessibility, and neighborhood compatibility, including:
 Reducing the hours of operation to 9:00 p.m.
 Implementing accessibility and safety modifications
 Adjusting parking availability
 Upgrading signage
 Installing lighting controls to reduce after-hours play To maintain consistency, the adjacent tennis court hours were also adjusted from 10:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

To help meet community demand, temporary pickleball courts were also established at Pioneer Park and are available for limited use.

While the Creekside Park Pickleball Courts have proven to be extremely popular, nearby residents raised concerns about noise. In response, staff researched mitigation options and presented them to the City Council. On March 25, 2025, the Council took the following actions:
 Adjusted court hours to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m
 Directed staff to lock and unlock the courts daily
 Requested recommendations for future pickleball court locations outside residential areas
Current Hours of Operations: Pickleball courts are currently open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and are locked and unlocked daily by City staff:
 Morning: Unlocked by Park Maintenance staff
 Evening: Secured by part-time Recreation staff
The estimated cost for this staffing is approximately $24,000 annually.

Future Pickleball Courts: To minimize impacts on residential neighborhoods, staff does not recommend placing additional courts in or adjacent to residential areas.

This limits potential locations. However, staff has identified property behind Sunset Park, adjacent to the City’s Municipal Service Center (MSC) (See Figure 1) as a promising location where multiple new courts could be developed, pending available funding.

Staff will conduct further work to estimate development costs and include this information in the Council’s next Strategic Planning Session. If the City Council was

Page 124 of 127 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.3
08/12/2025
to authorize funding for new courts it is estimated that design, CEQA, bidding and construction would be between 18 and 24 months.

Figure 1 – Potential Additional Pickleball Court Location Hours of Operations (Options)
Below are a variety of options based upon efficiencies, costs associated with staffing, meeting the desire of surrounding neighbors and pickleball players:

Option 1 -- Align hours with the Skate Park: Set pickleball court hours within one hour of the Skate Park hours at Veteran’s Park. This would allow a single staff person to manage both facilities (when staff are scheduled, they work a minimum of two hours, even for short tasks.). If City Council chooses to align closing the pickle ball courts with the Skate Park it would have a savings of approximately $5,000 annually.

This option would provide fluctuating hours throughout the year, and thus effect a compromise between nearby residents and players.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.3
08/12/2025
Current Skate Park Hours:
 March – April: 7:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
 May – August: 7:30 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.
 September – October: 7:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
 November – February: 7:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

Option 2 – Extend Hours (May to September): Allow for extended court hours during peak-use months and warm weather, from May through September.

Option 3 – Extended Hours on Weekends and Holidays: Permit extended hours only on weekends and holidays when demand is highest.

Option 4 – Reduce Current Hours of Operations: Reduce existing hours further to minimize staffing and maintenance costs, and respond to neighborhood concerns.

On July 14, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-96, amending the Strategic Plan to reflect changes in the project list.

On June 22, 2021, the Creekside Park Pickleball Courts project was funded through the Operating Budget and included in the 2021/22 – 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program.

On July 28, 2022, the Park and Recreation Commission approved the initial conceptual plan featuring a four-court schematic and directed staff to proceed with hiring a project consultant for the design phase.

On December 22, 2022, the Park and Recreation Commission approved the Updated Pickleball Conceptual Plan.

On July 25, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-91, awarding the bid to Luma Engineering Contractors Inc. for the Creekside Park Pickleball Courts (CIP Project No. 352-52441) as the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.

On August 13, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-84, accepting the work performed by Luma Engineering Contractors Inc. for the Creekside Park Pickleball Courts Project, CIP Project No. 352-52441, and filed a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder. At the same meeting, the City Council directed staff to provide an operational update to the Park and Recreation Commission following the construction of the project.

On March 25, 2025, the City Council, by motion, provided the following direction to staff:
 adjust the Creekside Park pickleball court hours to be open 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.;
 that staff lock the Creekside Park pickleball courts upon the closing of the courts and unlock them upon the opening of the courts; and  that staff spend time and attention to provide the City Council, at a future meeting, recommendations for locations throughout the City where additional pickleball courts may be added, where residential neighborhoods will not be disturbed.
