Further, the Ordinance is also exempt because it does not apply to any particular housing project at this time and it is thus speculative to evaluate any such future project in the context of consideration of this Ordinance.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.7
12/09/2025
SUBJECT: Combined Community Facilities District (CFD) Annual Report for Special Taxes Levied for Fiscal Year 2024/25
DEPARTMENT: Finance and Information Systems
STAFF: Kerry Breen, Director of Finance and Information Systems Angela Ausemus, Senior Accountant
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
The Combined Community Facilities District (CFD) Annual Report for Special Taxes Levied ensures compliance with Section 50075.3 of the California Government Code, which requires an annual report be filed with the Legislative body for voter approved special taxes. Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Combined Community Facilities District (CFD) Annual Report for Special Taxes Levied for Fiscal Year 2024/25.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving the annual CFD report. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City collected $8.7 million in CFD Special Tax revenues, which was spent primarily on police services ($8.3 million), with the remainder spent on debt service and administrative costs.
BACKGROUND
CFDs are a special tax mechanism to provide funding for the increased cost of public services and facilities from the impact of new development. CFD taxes can be used to fund the following facilities and services:
Public Protection and Safety,
Community Amenities,
Joint Use School Sites,
Flood and Storm Drainage Improvements,
Roadway Maintenance,
Utility Undergrounding; and
Open Space
Over the last five fiscal years, 94% of the special taxes collected have been used to fund police services.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.7
12/09/2025
As a standard condition of approval, all new development is required to mitigate its impacts. To meet this condition of approval, property owners must annex projects into a CFD prior to development. Once annexed into the CFD, special tax revenue is provided annually to fund the additional associated services and facilities costs.
California Government Code Section 50075.3 requires an annual report to be filed with the governing body for voter approved special taxes, including the total of all special taxes collected and expended. If requested by a property owner, Government Code Section 53343.1 requires that a detailed annual report be prepared for each CFD. Although no request has been received, the 2024/25 Combined CFD Annual Report, included as Attachment 2, satisfies the requirements of both of these Government Code Sections.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
5 2024/25 Combined Community Facilities District Annual Report for Special Taxes Levied Executive Summary
Since 2002, the City Council of the City of Brentwood has formed four Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. The CFDs were formed to provide an annual revenue stream from all new development within the City to: 1) fund the purchase, construction and/or expansion of various authorized public facilities and 2) fund the operation and maintenance of authorized improvements and services within the City. These authorized public facilities and services are summarized below and described in detail within the applicable exhibits attached to the CFD formation resolutions beginning on page 34.
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 does not require that an annual report be prepared unless requested by a person who resides in or owns property within the district; however, City staff believes it is prudent to be proactive in preparing the report in the event it is ever requested. The MelloRoos Community Facilities Act of 1982, specifically Section 53343.1 of the California Government Code, provides guidelines for the content of an annual report and states an annual report shall include the following:
(a) The amount of special taxes collected for the year. (b) The amount of other monies collected for the year and their source, including interest earned. (c) The amount of monies expended for the year.
(d) A summary of the amount of monies expended for the following:
1) Facilities, including property.
2) Services.
3) The costs of bonded indebtedness.
4) The costs of collecting the special tax under Section 53340. 5) Other administrative and overhead costs.
(e) For monies expended for facilities, including property, an identification of the categories of each type of facility funded with amounts expended in each category, including the total percentage of the cost of each type of facility that was funded with bond proceeds or special taxes. (f) For monies expended for services, an identification of the categories of each type of service funded with amounts expended in each category, including the total percentage of the cost of each type of service that was funded with bond proceeds or special taxes.

The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 allows local governments to establish Community Facilities Districts, which encompass areas to be served by proposed facilities or services. The CFDs have bonding and taxing authority, so bonds can be issued to finance public facilities or services and the bonds will be repaid by a special tax levied by the CFD. Therefore, in a Mello-Roos bond financing, users of financed facilities pay for those facilities through the payment of a special tax. Mello-Roos bond financing provides some unique advantages to local government. Mello-Roos bond projects are initiated, approved and operated for and by the local community, so that only projects which are truly positive additions to the area will be financed. Mello-Roos bond financing gives local governments a tool with which to promote appropriate development and to provide the infrastructure needed in developing areas.
On October 16, 2009, the Brentwood Infrastructure Financing Authority (“Authority”) issued $48,000,000 in Civic Center Project Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2009A $4,055,000 and Taxable Series 2009B $43,945,000 (“2009 Civic Center Bonds”), to finance the construction of a new City Hall, new Community Center and a new Senior Center, plus library improvements and other public capital improvements of which $20,210,526 is the CFDs portion. Total annual debt service payments from the CFDs, including interest at
3.00% to 7.647%, range from $1,318,306 to $1,831,665. These debt service amounts are prior to Federal interest rebates relating to the 2009B portion of the bonds as described below.
The taxable portion of the 2009B bonds were sold as “Build America Bonds” (BABs) pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The interest on BABs was not tax-exempt and therefore the bonds carried a higher interest rate. However, this higher interest rate was offset by a subsidy payable by the United States Treasury to the Authority, or its designee, equal to 35% of the interest payable on the bonds. The subsidy was payable on or about the date the City made its debt service payments. Due to the Federal sequestration, certain local government refundable credits, including the BABs rebate, were reduced beginning with refunds processed on or after March 1, 2013.
On April 2, 2019, the Authority issued $32,210,000 in Civic Center Project Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2019 (“2019 Civic Center Bonds”), to refinance the 2009 Civic Center Bonds. The refunding resulted in overall debt service savings of $17,856,031, of which $10,655,412 has been allocated to the CFDs in part to replace the prior bonds’ BABs subsidy. Beginning in FY 2019/20, the new debt service savings exceed the prior projected total BABs subsidy by approximately $840,000, and are reflected in the debt service tables on page 26.
The 2019 Civic Center Bonds are secured, as were the 2009 Civic Center Bonds, by a lien on and pledge of revenues under the Trust Agreement. “Revenues” means all amounts received by the Trustee as payment on principal and interest. The City’s revenue sources are from the Successor Agency to the Brentwood Redevelopment Agency which has pledged future tax revenues for the repayment of a portion of the bonds, pledged payments from the CFD local obligations and pledged payments from the Civic Center Capital Improvement Financing Program revenues. However, should these revenue sources not be sufficient to cover the principal and interest payments due in any year, the City is obligated under the Facilities Lease to pay such shortfall from the General Fund.
A. FACILITIES FINANCED BY THE DISTRICTS
i. Brentwood Senior Activity Center
The development and construction of the Brentwood Senior Activity Center, an approximately 8,375 sq. ft. facility which is located directly south of the Aquatic Center, was completed in January 2009. This facility provides three meeting/classroom spaces, a large kitchen, a multi-purpose
25 2024/25 Combined Community Facilities District Annual Report for Special Taxes Levied Bonded Indebtedness
space of approximately 3,400 sq. ft., parking, a bus turnout, including a bus shelter on Balfour Road, landscaping, lighting and an art element.
ii. Brentwood Community Center
Construction of a 32,000 sq. ft., two story Community Center was completed in January 2012. The Community Center includes expanded services and offerings including space for art, multipurpose rooms, banquet facilities, catering kitchen, activity rooms, exercise rooms and exterior event spaces. All new structures were designed to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certified-level standard of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). iii. Library Relocation and New Construction
In order to construct the Civic Center, the existing library was relocated. Phase I of the project consisted of building an interim library in the 104 Oak Street portion of the City Hall annex building and consolidating staff in the remaining portion of the building. Phase I was completed in June 2009. Phase II began in 2013 with the preparation of a needs assessment and development alternatives which were presented to and reviewed by City Council. City Council agreed on the development alternative to tear down the three Oak Street buildings (104, 118 and 120 Oak Street).
In October 2015, City Council approved the Library – New Construction Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project which accounted for the tear down of the Oak Street buildings on the Cityowned parcels and the construction of a new, approximately 20,275 sq. ft. library that is two stories tall with a partial upper story. The new library, which was completed in September 2018, also includes an outdoor space for library patrons and an entrance courtyard.
B. BOND PROCEEDS AND STATUS OF CONSTRUCTION
As of September 2018, all of the facilities funded all, or in part, by CFD cash or CFD bond proceeds from the 2009 Civic Center Bonds have been constructed.
C. DEBT SERVICE

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.8
12/09/2025
SUBJECT: Supplement to the Annual Report on the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund for Fiscal Year 2024/25
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Information Systems
STAFF: Kerry Breen, Director of Finance & Information Systems Sonia Agostini, Accounting Manager
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
The Supplement to the Annual Report on the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund ensures compliance with requirements for Housing Successors included in Senate Bill 341 (SB 341). This report will be submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as an addendum to the Annual Progress Report that will be prepared in Spring 2026. Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Supplement to the Annual Report on the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund for Fiscal Year 2024/25.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the City Council receiving this report. The information in the Supplement to the Annual Report on the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund is required by law to be posted on the City’s website and submitted to HCD.
BACKGROUND
The state of California passed the Community Redevelopment Law, which set up a framework to allow cities and counties to form redevelopment agencies (RDA’s).
These agencies, set up as separate entities from the city, focused on addressing blight in communities by redeveloping commercial, industrial, and residential areas into new projects. One of the primary accomplishments of RDA’s was developing affordable housing in communities. This was primarily accomplished through a special financing method used by RDA’s called tax increment financing, which allowed RDA’s to capture the increased property taxes after redeveloping blighted areas and reinvest that revenue into the area for improvements.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.8
12/09/2025
In 2011, the state passed new legislation dissolving all California RDA’s. In order to wind down the affairs and enforce outstanding obligations of the defunct RDA’s, successor agencies were identified. In most instances, the successor agencies were simply the governmental bodies that had first established each RDA. Housing successor agencies were also set up to take over the housing functions and assets of the former RDA. They are not separate legal entities – cities generally rolled housing obligations and assets of former RDAs into existing city housing and community development departments.
In Brentwood, in addition to serving as the Successor Agency to the former Brentwood Redevelopment Agency (RDA), the City is also serving as Housing Successor. On January 10, 2012, in its capacity as Housing Successor, the City assumed the housing functions of the former RDA. These housing functions included the transfer of formerly designated RDA Low and Moderate Income Housing funds and property. These assets are required to be kept by the City in a separate fund and spent in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 34176.1 (“Code”). The State Department of Finance (DOF) has reviewed and approved all Housing Successor related asset transfers from the Successor Agency.
State reporting requirements established the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund (“Fund”) of the former redevelopment agency, now owned, operated and administered by the City as Housing Successor. To ensure that the money in the Fund is spent as required, the Code requires an independent financial audit of the Fund within six months of the end of the fiscal year. The independent audit of the City’s Fund was included as part of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) prepared by City staff and audited by Maze and Associates, the City’s independent auditor. The ACFR, along with the Independent Auditor’s Report, is scheduled to be presented to the City Council on a separate item on the City Council’s December 9, 2025, agenda. Staff will post the ACFR to the City’s website following presentation to the City Council.
SB 341 also requires the annual reporting of thiteen specific items. Staff has prepared a supplemental report, attached as Exhibit “A”, to comply with this reporting requirement. Following the review and receipt of this item by the City Council, the report will be posted on the City's website. In addition, the report will be submitted to HCD as an addendum to the Annual Progress Report concerning the progress of the implementation of the City’s Housing Element.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.8

The report includes the following information:
• There was a $16,917 cash balance in the Fund at the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, and there were $0 expenditures during the period. • The Fund holds two parcels (1907 and 1909 Jane Way) with a combined statutory value of $420,000. The City had until September 18, 2017, to either initiate activities consistent with the development of the properties for low and moderate housing purposes, or otherwise dispose of the properties. • The Fund holds loans/grants receivable related to affordable housing totaling $5,235,578, although the entirety of this amount is expected to be forgiven. • 47% (160 out of 338) of the affordable housing units assisted by the Housing Successor are restricted for seniors.
• There is no “excess surplus” (or unencumbered funds of more than one million dollars, as defined by SB 341) in the Fund.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.9
12/09/2025
SUBJECT: 2024/25 Development Impact Fee Report
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Information Systems
STAFF: Kerry Breen, Director of Finance & Information Systems Rachel Corona, Accountant II
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
The Development Impact Fee Report ensures compliance with California Government Code Sections 66006(b) and 66001(d), which require an annual report providing specific information about those fees be prepared and made available to the public.
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the 2024/25 Development Impact Fee Report.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
BACKGROUND
The City has imposed and collected Development Impact Fees (DIFs) on new development since 1979. The fees are used to address the impacts on the City’s infrastructure and facilities caused by this new development. DIF’s provide financing for the acquisition, construction, and improvement of public facilities and infrastructure to mitigate the impacts.
In 1989, the City prepared the first “Capital Improvements Costs and Basis of Development Fees” report, which was a detailed study of the impacts of future growth on local City facilities and infrastructure. This report provided the analysis and support for DIFs collected by the City and has been updated from time to time in subsequent fiscal years. In 1999, the report was renamed the City of Brentwood Development Fee Program and the most recent update was adopted by the City Council on February 9, 2021. The report can be found on the City’s website here:
Development Fee Program.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.9
12/09/2025
Separate funds have been established to account for the DIFs collected for each of the following types of public facilities and infrastructure: Water, Roadway, Parks and Trails, Wastewater, Community Facilities and Fire.1
State law requires that any local agency imposing DIFs must prepare an annual report providing specific information about those fees as defined in California Government Code Sections 66006(b) and 66001(d). The 2024/25 DIF Report, included as Attachment 2, meets all the requirements of these Government Code Sections.
Specifics about the information required to be included in the report can be found on page 6 of the 2024/25 DIF Report.
California Government Code also requires that the DIF Report be made available to the public within 180 days after the fiscal year-end. The City must also review the annual report at a regularly scheduled public meeting not less than fifteen days after the report was made available to the public. The 2024/25 DIF Report was filed with the City Clerk’s office and made available for public review on November 24, 2025.
CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE
Not applicable.
PREVIOUS ACTION
Previous Action by the City Council is included on Attachment 1.
DATE OF NOTICE
The California Government Code requires this report be reviewed by the City at a regularly scheduled public meeting not less than 15 days after the 2024/25 DIF Report is made available to the public. In addition, notice of the time and place of the meeting shall be mailed at least 15 days prior to the meeting to any interested party who files a written request with the local agency for such a mailed notice. This report was filed with the City Clerk’s office and made available for public review on November 24, 2025.
1 On July 1, 2022 East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) merged with Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (ConFire). All Fire DIF funds and assets were transferred to ECCFPD prior to the merger. After the merger, the City ceased collecting the City Fire DIF. Although technically the City still has a Fire DIF in effect, payment of the ConFire DIF fully satisfies the City’s Fire DIF requirement. The City has not collected any Fire DIF funds subsequent to the merger and does not expect to collect Fire DIF fees in the future.

December 9, 2025
The Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and Citizens of Brentwood Brentwood, CA 94513
Dear Mayor, Members of the City Council and Citizens of Brentwood:
State law requires any local agency that imposes development impact fees to prepare an annual report providing specific information about those fees. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of the California Government Code Section 66006 (b) and 66001 (d), I hereby submit the Development Impact Fee (DIF) Report for the City of Brentwood, California for the fiscal year (FY) ended June 30, 2025.
DIFs are charged by local governmental agencies in connection with approval of development projects. The purpose of these fees is to defray all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to the development project. The legal requirements for enactment of a DIF program are set forth in Government Code §§ 66000- 66025 (the "Mitigation Fee Act"), the bulk of which was adopted as 1987’s AB 1600 and thus commonly referred to as “AB 1600 requirements”.
In Brentwood, DIFs are collected for the purpose of mitigating the impacts caused by new development on the City’s infrastructure. Fees are used to finance the acquisition, construction and improvement of public facilities needed as a result of this new development. A separate fund has been established to account for the impact of new development on each of the following types of public facilities: Water, Roadway, Parks and Trails, Wastewater, Community Facilities and Fire.
Fees imposed on new development within the City have been in place since 1979. In 1989, the City prepared its first “Capital Improvements Costs and Basis of Development Fees” report which was a detailed study of the impacts of future growth on local facilities. This report provided the analysis and support for the DIFs imposed by the City, with various updates to the study occurring through 1998. In the 1999 update of the study, the report was renamed the City of Brentwood Development Fee Program with the most recent update, the City of Brentwood Development Fee Program (“DIF Program”), being adopted by City Council on February 9, 2021.
State law requires the City prepare and make available to the public the DIF Report within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year. The City Council must review the annual report at a regularly scheduled public meeting not less than fifteen days after the information is made available to the public. This report was filed with the City Clerk’s office and available for public review on November 24, 2025.
Respectfully submitted,
Kerry Breen
City Treasurer/Director of Finance and Information Systems
INTRODUCTION
6 Introduction
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE REPORTING A. CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66006 (b)
California Government Code Section 66006 (b) defines the specific reporting requirements for local agencies that impose AB 1600 DIFs on new development. Annually, for each separate fund established for the collection and expenditure of DIFs, the local agency shall, within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year, make available to the public the information shown below for the most recent fiscal year. The applicable page numbers for the location where each item can be found in the report are provided for reference.
a. A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund. (Pages 8 to 9) b. The amount of the fee. (Page 9)
c. The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund. (Page 11) d. The amount of the fees collected and interest earned. (Pages 11 to 17) e. An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees. (Page 26)
f. i. An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement. (Page 26) ii. An identification of each public improvement identified in a previous report pursuant to clause (i) and whether construction began on the approximate date noted in the previous report. iii. For a project identified pursuant to clause (ii) for which construction did not commence by the approximate date provided in the previous report, the reason for the delay and a revised approximate date that the local agency will commence construction. g. A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and, in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid and the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan. (Pages 19 to 23)
h. The amount of refunds made due to sufficient funds being collected to complete financing on incomplete public improvements, the number of persons or entities identified to receive those
7 Introduction
refunds, and the amount of reallocation of funds made due to administrative costs of refunding unexpended revenues exceeding the amount to be refunded. (Page 23) B. CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66001 (d)
For all funds established for the collection and expenditure of DIFs, California Government Code Section 66001 (d) has additional requirements. For the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the fund and every five years thereafter, the local agency shall make all of the following findings with respect to that portion of the fund remaining unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted:
• Identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put.
• Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and purpose for which it is charged. • Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements.
• Designate the approximate dates on which the funding is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.
As of June 30, 2025, the City does not report any DIF Funds held past the fifth year of first deposit.
C. ADDITIONAL NOTES
The State of California Government Code Section 66002 states that local agencies that have developed a fee program may adopt a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) indicating the approximate location, size and timing of projects, plus an estimate for the cost of all facilities or improvements to be financed by fees. A formal CIP is recommended, at a minimum, as a five-year plan. The City annually produces a five-year CIP which helps to maintain and support the City’s General Plan as well as identify situations where infrastructure is needed to accommodate the planned development.
The City’s current, adopted 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program can be found on the City’s website at www.brentwoodca.gov.
D. ESTABLISHING A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FEE AND THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS CHARGED The City’s DIF Program has been in effect in Brentwood since FY 1989/90. The current DIF Program, titled the City of Brentwood Development Fee Program 2024 Update, was adopted on February 9, 2021, with the annual fee adjustment occurring July 1, 2025. Adjustments to the fees shall be made annually in accord with the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index. The DIF Program sets forth the relationship between contemplated future development, facilities needed to serve future development and the estimated costs of those improvements based on the current General Plan for build-out.
Comprehensive updates to the program are completed on an as-needed basis to ensure the program continues to reflect the appropriate fees in relation to updated costs.
Some of the City’s CIP projects are financed in part by the impact fees outlined in the DIF Program. The City’s capital improvements provide infrastructure to the residents and businesses in Brentwood in order to keep pace with ongoing development in, and adjacent to, the community. Estimated project costs, and the summary of fee apportionment to each development impact fee type, are detailed within the City’s DIF Program beginning with Table 7 in that document.
Information on current CIP projects that are in the DIF Program can be found on page 26 including:
Current Projects, Project Phase, Estimated Construction Start Date, Estimated Completion Date,
8 Introduction
Estimated Project Cost and Development Impact Fee information including Budget to Date, Funding to Date and Estimated % of Project Funded with fees.
E. FUNDING OF INFRASTRUCTURE
The 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP identifies all funding sources and amounts for individual projects projected through FY 2029/30. The CIP is updated annually to reflect the current infrastructure needs of the City.
As a CIP project is identified, the project is evaluated to determine the portion of the project that will service existing residents and businesses versus new development.
Once the determination of use is made, the percentage of use attributable to new development is then funded by the appropriate development impact fee based on the type of project. The percentage of use associated with existing residents or businesses are funded from other appropriate sources as identified on each individual project sheet in the CIP. All future planned infrastructure needs are outlined in the DIF Program. Estimated construction start dates for projects are adjusted, as needed, to reflect the needs of the community.
F. CURRENT MAJOR CIP PROJECTS
The Sand Creek Sports Complex project is currently in the construction phase and expected to be completed in spring 2027. This project is funded partially by Parks and Trails DIFs.
The Lone Tree Way Roadway Improvements project
phase 2 design is underway and construction is
anticipated to begin in FY 2025/26. The funded
portion of this project comes from Roadway DIFs.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Expansion
– Phase II project is currently in its final stages of
completion. This project is funded through a State
Revolving Fund (SRF) loan, which will be repaid in part by Wastewater DIFs.
Additional budget information regarding CIP projects funded by DIFs is shown in the table on page 26.
