CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
01/27/2026
SUBJECT: Hold a public hearing and confirm the annexation of territory to Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove)
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
STAFF: E. Harith Aleem Jr., Director of Parks and Recreation Aaron Wanden, Park Maintenance Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council (1) hold a Public Hearing relating to the annexation of territory (Annexation No. 1) to existing Landscape and Lighting Assessment District (‘LLAD’) No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove), (2) confirm there is no majority protest to the annexation based on the tabulation of the returned ballots, weighted by assessment amount, and (3) adopt a Resolution ordering the annexation of territory to LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) as Annexation No. 1 and ordering improvements and confirming the diagram and assessments as shown in the LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Fiscal Year 2025-26 Final Engineer’s Report in accordance with provisions of the Streets and Highway Code “Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972” and California Proposition 218.

FISCAL IMPACT
Upon full project build-out, the City will have authorization to collect the maximum annual assessment revenue of $56,057 (in FY 2025/26 dollars) from the residential parcels located within the Orchard Grove North project located north of Gracie Lane between Adams Lane and Lone Oak Road. This maximum annual assessment revenue will be increased each fiscal year based upon the prior year’s change in the San Francisco Bay Area Urban Wage Earners Consumer Price Index and will fund the special benefit portion of the maintenance, operation, servicing, replacement, and administration expenses associated with City improvements benefitting the project.

The annual costs for the Orchard Grove North project that are attributed to benefit the public at large are estimated to be $2,080 and will be funded by the General Fund.

To ensure the Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts are self-supporting, each district has an administrative cost factored into the assessment rate to cover preparation of annual Engineer’s Reports and levying of assessments. Funds to cover

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
01/27/2026
the costs associated with this annexation into LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) have been deposited with the City by the developer.

BACKGROUND
The City previously approved the formation of LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove), which is currently comprised of one subdivision consisting of 45 single family residential lots and 6 duet units located east of Adams Lane and north of Gracie Lane. The City is now proposing to annex a residential development, known as the Orchard Grove North development (APN 016-040-012), which will consist of 30 single family residential lots and 4 duet units at build-out, as Annexation No. 1. This development is conditioned to provide a funding mechanism to offset the annual operation, maintenance, and future capital replacement costs attributed to City streetlights, landscaping, open space areas, trails, parks, etc. which benefit the properties within LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove), Annexation No. 1.

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Public Resources Code §§22500, et seq.) and Proposition 218 require that an Engineer’s Report be generated for the formation of any new assessment district or any annexations into existing assessment districts.

The Engineer’s Report identifies public improvements to be maintained, as well as maximum annual assessment rates to be levied on properties benefiting from these improvements. The assessment rates may or may not change each fiscal year, dependent on the maintenance budget, but cannot exceed the maximum annual assessment amount set when the assessment district was originally formed, plus an annual cost of living adjustment. This report will set the maximum annual assessment rates for the Orchard Grove North development corresponding to Annexation No. 1 of LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove).

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and Proposition 218 require that all annexations into existing assessment districts receive property owner approval from the affected property owners, and a public hearing be held, prior to final approval from City Council.

The City of Brentwood preliminarily approved the Engineer’s Report, adopted the first required resolution, and scheduled a Public Hearing for June 10, 2025 to consider the proposed annexation of the Orchard Grove development into the District as Annexation No. 1. However, the Developer did not assume ownership of the property before June 10th and therefore the public hearing was therefore postponed until the purchase of the property was confirmed. The Developer has assumed ownership of

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
01/27/2026
the property and the public hearing to consider approval of the annexation was rescheduled for January 27, 2026.

In accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and Proposition 218 a notice of public hearing was published and a ballot was mailed to the property owner, Shea Homes Limited Partnership, containing detailed information about LLAD No. 23- 1 (Orchard Grove), including but not limited to, improvements to be maintained, and the maximum annual assessment amounts.

At the close of the public input portion of the Public Hearing this evening, the City Clerk (or her designee) will tabulate all ballots received. This information will be presented to the City Council during the meeting.

Following the tabulation of results, if there is no majority protest, the Council will be presented with the attached Resolution approving the LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove), Annexation No. 1 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Final Engineer’s Report and ordering the annexation of territory to LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove).

CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE
Not Applicable.

PREVIOUS ACTION
Previous Action by the City Council is included on Attachment 1.

DATE OF NOTICE
A notice of public hearing was published in the Brentwood Press on January 16, 2026.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The City’s action is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”, as codified at Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., as further governed by the State CEQA Guidelines, 14 CCR §§ 15000, et seq.). This action consists of proceedings for the levying of annual assessments for landscape, lighting, and park maintenance purposes and is within certain classes of projects that have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment in that it meets the criteria set forth in sections 15273 (‘Rates, Tolls, Fares, and Charges’), 15301(c)

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
01/27/2026
(‘Existing Facilities’), and 15306 (‘Information Collection’) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

The item under consideration at the close of the Public Hearing is the approval of the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Final Engineer’s Report for LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove), Annexation No. 1, including revenues, appropriations, and transfer as detailed in the Final Engineer’s Report.

ALTERNATIVE OPTION(S)
Alternative options to the staff recommendation:

1. If a majority protest exists, the proceedings for the annexation of the Orchard Grove North project into LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) shall be abandoned.

2. Do not approve staff’s recommendation to adopt a Resolution ordering the annexation of territory (Annexation No. 1) to existing LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) and ordering improvements and confirming the diagram and assessments as shown in the LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Annexation No. 1 Fiscal Year 2025-26 Final Engineer’s Report.

Either one of these options would result in property owners within the Orchard Grove North project not contributing to funding the annual operation, maintenance, and future capital replacement costs attributed to City streetlights, landscaping, open space areas, trails, and park improvements that benefit the properties located within the Project.

INTRODUCTION
ENGINEER’S REPORT
LANDSCAPE & LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 23-1
(ORCHARD GROVE)
ANNEXATION No. 1
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
To ensure the proper flow of funds for the ongoing operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement of specific improvements within the City of Brentwood (the “City”), the City Council, through the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, has previously approved the formation of Landscape & Lighting Assessment District (“LLAD”) No. 23-1 (the “District”) and is currently comprised of the Orchard Grove development. The City is proposing to annex another single-family residential development located to the north known as Orchard Grove North into the District (“Annexation No. 1”), which is the purpose of this report.

Improvements, which may be operated, maintained, serviced and replaced by the District, include, but are not limited to:

Street lighting, landscaping, trails and park improvements, and ancillary facilities.

Generally, as a part of the conditions of approval to develop property within the City, property owners/developers are required to mitigate their project’s financial impact to the City. Developers can provide their own financing mechanism to mitigate their impacts or they can form a new LLAD or when applicable, annex into an existing LLAD. The formation of a new LLAD or annexation into an existing LLAD ensures that the operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement costs of these improvements are specifically paid for by those property owners who directly benefit from the improvements.

If Annexation No. 1 is approved, LLAD No. 23-1 (the “District”) will consist of two residential developments - Orchard Grove, which is comprised of 45 single-family homes and six duet units, and Orchard Grove North, which will be comprised of 30 single-family homes and four duet units at build-out. In order to annex the Orchard Grove North development into the District, the annexation will need property owner voter approval prior to final approval from City Council. This process is discussed in Section II, ‘Impacts of Proposition 218’ of this Report.

As required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the Engineer’s Report includes:
(1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, serviced and replaced by the District, (2) a cost estimate for the District, and (3) a listing of the proposed maximum assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.

LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Annexation No. 1 SECTION I Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 INTRODUCTION
2 The City of Brentwood originally scheduled a Public Hearing on June 10, 2025, to consider the proposed annexation of the Orchard Grove North development into the District as Annexation No. 1. The Public Hearing had to be postponed because the Developer had not yet assumed ownership of the property associated with the Orchard Grove North development. On October 30, 2025, the Developer assumed ownership of the property and the Public Hearing was rescheduled to January 27, 2026 to consider final approval of the annexation.

At the Public Hearing, the City will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public input portion of the Public Hearing, the City Clerk will tabulate the assessment ballots. If the assessment ballot tabulation is favorable, the City Council may adopt a resolution annexing the Orchard Grove North development into the District Annexation No. 1 and confirming the maximum assessment rates as originally proposed or as modified.

Payment of these annual assessments for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for their annual property taxes. All funds collected through the assessments must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this Report.

IMPACT OF PROPOSITION 218
LANDSCAPE & LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT No. 23-1
(ORCHARD GROVE)
ANNEXATION No. 1
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote On Taxes Act" which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.

These procedures stipulate that even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, new or future increases in assessments must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218. However, if the increase in assessment was anticipated in the property owner approved assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase or assessment cap) then the assessment increase is compliant with the intent and provisions of Proposition 218.

In order to annex the Orchard Grove North development into the District, it will require voter approval from the District property owner(s), prior to final approval from City Council.

In order to comply with the requirements of Proposition 218, the City of Brentwood has implemented the following procedures:
1) Every property owner within the District will be mailed a ballot, which allows the property owners to cast their votes either in favor or against the proposed annexation of the assessment district. A notice describing the assessment, the individual property owner’s maximum annual assessment rate, the duration of the assessment, the reason for the assessment, and the basis upon which the assessment is calculated will accompany the ballots.
2) After the close of the public input portion of the public hearing, the ballots, which have been returned to the City Clerk will be tabulated to determine whether a majority protest against the proposed annexation of the District exists.
3) When tabulating the assessment ballots, they will be weighted based on their proportionate maximum assessment amount.
4) Publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the improvements. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public

LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Annexation No. 1 SECTION II Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 PROPOSITION 218
4 greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements, and that portion of public property that is not used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial and institutional activities. Also exempted from the assessments are private streets, utility easements, HOA common areas (except club houses, community centers, parking lots, etc.) and any other parcels that do not receive a special and direct benefit from the improvements.

All property owners will be noticed in accordance with Proposition 218 a minimum of 45 days prior to the Public Hearing unless a shorter notice period was agreed to by all affected property owners. After the Public Hearing and after the ballots have been tabulated, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the maximum assessment rate either as originally proposed or as modified.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which includes, but is not limited to the operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement of street lighting, landscaping, trails, park, and open space area facilities.

Section 22573 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
In addition, Article XIIID, of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional “special benefit” conferred on the property. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. There is no widely accepted or statutory formula for determining general and special benefit. However, the constitution states that a special benefit is different from a general benefit in that it is “particular and distinct” and “over and above” general benefits received by other properties.

Article XIIID provided that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial and institutional activities.

The amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Additionally, it’s required that the City separate the general benefits from the special benefits, because only special benefits may be assessed.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement costs for the landscaping, streetlighting, parks, open space areas, and trail facilities are apportioned in accordance with a methodology that is consistent with standard assessment engineering practices.

LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Annexation No. 1 SECTION III Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 PART D
14 Since the assessments are levied on the owners of properties as shown on the secured property tax rolls, the final assessments must be assigned by Assessor's Parcel Number.

If assessments were to be allocated by parcel, not considering land use, benefit would not be allocated accurately, because a single-family parcel would be paying the same as a 50-unit apartment parcel or a large commercial establishment. Therefore, as previously stated, the total assessment costs are allocated to each parcel of land based on the benefit received by each parcel. The assessment methodology is based on Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) as discussed below.

Single-Family Residential Parcels - The single-family residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for the calculation of assessments since it represents approximately 90% of the parcels within the City. Therefore, the single-family residential parcel is defined as one EDU per parcel. The assessment methodology used to assign EDUs to other land uses in proportion to the special benefit they receive relative to the single-family residential parcel is discussed below.

Condominium, Duet, Townhome and Mobile Home Parcels - Condominiums, duets, townhomes, and mobile homes on average have approximately 75% of the building square footage compared to a single-family home. Furthermore, studies consistently show that these types of residential products impact public infrastructure approximately 75% as much as a single-family residential parcel. Therefore, all condominium, townhome and mobile home parcels are assessed 0.75 EDUs per parcel.

Multi-Family Residential Units - Multi-family residential units on average have approximately 50% of the building square footage compared to a single-family home.

Furthermore, studies consistently show that multi-family residential units impact public infrastructure approximately 50% as much as a single-family home. Therefore, all multifamily parcels are assessed 0.50 EDUs per unit.

Non-Residential Parcels - Commercial, industrial, institutional, and other non-residential properties are assessed at three (3) EDUs per acre of land. The 3.00 EDU per acre allocation is based upon the average size of a single-family parcel in the City of Brentwood which is approximately 1/6 of an acre. For every acre of non-residential land approximately 6 single-family homes could be constructed on that acre of land which would equate to 6.00 EDUs per acre. Furthermore, it was determined that NonResidential parcels benefit less than residential properties from the authorized improvements because their employees have less time and opportunity to use and benefit from the improvements, than residents who live within the City. Employees typically benefit or may use the improvements before work, during breaks and at lunch, or after work. Residents have the ability to use the improvements during the same times and on weekends and holidays, since they reside in the area. Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that for non-residential property the opportunity to use and benefit from the improvements is approximately 50% of that realized by residential properties.

Therefore, EDUs assigned to non-residential property are assessed three (3) EDUs per acre of land because they have been discounted by 50% to account for the differences in benefit from improvements conferred on residential and non-residential property.

LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Annexation No. 1 SECTION III Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 PART D
15 Undeveloped Parcels – All undeveloped properties are assessed at 25% of the developed EDUs assigned for each parcel of land based on the properties land use classification.

Undeveloped properties benefit less from the improvements than developed property because undeveloped properties do not have structures which house residents or utilize employees. However, the improvements funded by the City’s LLADs do benefit undeveloped property because improvements have already been installed that allows for development to occur and to use the improvements immediately upon the initiation of development making the property more attractive. Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that undeveloped property benefits less than developed property.

To determine the difference in special benefit conferred on developed and undeveloped property, the Contra Costa County Assessor’s assessed values for property within the City were reviewed to determine what percentage of assessed value is typically associated with the underlying land and what percentage is typically associated with the structure. Based upon the review, it was determined that approximately 25% of the assessed value of developed property in the City is associated with the underlying land.

Based on the comparison of benefits of developed property to undeveloped property it is reasonable to assess the undeveloped property at 25% of the rate for developed property.

Therefore, EDUs assigned to undeveloped residential and non-residential property have been discounted by 75% to account for the differences in benefit from improvements conferred on developed and undeveloped property.

Exempt Parcels - Publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the improvements. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an APN by the County), and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities (such as office buildings like a City Hall, etc.). Also exempted from the assessment would be utility rights-of-ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes), and any other property that is deemed to be unable to develop by the City. These types of parcels do not benefit from the improvements. Also exempted from the assessments are private streets, utility easements, HOA common areas (except club houses, community centers, parking lots, etc.) and any other parcels that do not receive a special and direct benefit from the improvements.

Furthermore, parcels within the District may be assessed as developed once the final maps have been approved by the City of Brentwood and/or it is anticipated that improvements will need to be maintained or reserve funds will need to be collected for the ensuing fiscal year.

16 QUANTIFICATION OF BENEFIT
The District will provide a funding source for the operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement of streetlighting, landscaping, park, and open space area facilities authorized under the statute that benefit properties within the boundaries of the District. As previously discussed, it’s required that the City separate the general benefits from the special benefits, because only special benefits may be assessed. In order for the City to separate out the costs associated with general and special benefits for each improvement type, an analysis of each improvement was conducted as described below.

Streetlighting Along Arterial and Major Roadways
Streetlighting located along the City’s arterial and major roadways provide a benefit to parcels inside and outside the City. The benefits from streetlights are enhanced illumination which allows for:
• Safer vehicle and pedestrian access to and from property. • Enhanced deterrence of criminal or suspicious activity such as property theft, vandalism, criminal acidity, illegal dumping, and damage to improvements and property.
• Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see. • Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.
• Increased nighttime visibility resulting in enhanced safety on roads, streets, and in public areas.

To determine which properties benefit from streetlighting along the City’s arterial and major roadways a benefit analysis was performed. The analysis utilized Google Maps to determine which arterial and major roadways within the City were most likely to be used by property owners/residents when driving or walking to various destinations inside and outside of the City. The analysis showed that all properties within the City would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system when traveling to destinations within the City or to other cities and communities. The analysis also found that there are additional properties located outside the City limits that would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system when traveling through the City to various destinations outside the City.

Vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow commencing outside of the City but traveling to a destination inside the City was determined to be a special benefit to the destination parcel within the City. The analysis used each parcel’s physical location as a starting destination and then selected ending destinations were inputted (e.g., neighboring cities or communities surrounding the City of Brentwood). If Google Maps showed the property owner/resident located outside the City would pass through and utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to a destination outside of the City, then they were considered to receive a benefit from the City’s arterial and major roadway system. In addition, the analysis showed that most parcels outside of the City did not benefit from the improvements because they did not utilize the City’s roadways to travel to a destination parcel outside of the City, but would in most circumstances, if not all rather

LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Annexation No. 1 SECTION III Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 PART D
17 utilize Highway 4 to traverse the City or use an alternative route, therefore circumventing the City’s arterial and major roadways.

In addition to the special and direct benefits the property owners within the City receive from these enhanced streetlighting improvements, there are also some incidental general benefits received by vehicular and pedestrian flow-through traffic (traffic that does not stop within the City) which originates from properties outside the City limits from individuals who use the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to another destination outside of the City. It has been determined that some properties not located within the City, north of the City limits, utilize arterial and major roadways within the City when traveling to destinations south of the City and that some properties not located within City, south and east of the City limits, utilize arterial and major roadways within the City when traveling to a destination north of the City. Properties meeting these criteria have been identified and such benefits must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the City’s LLADs.

To quantify and separate the special benefits received by property owners within the City limits and the general benefit received by the property owners outside the City, EDUs were assigned to all benefitting properties (both inside and outside the City). The analysis resulted in a benefit boundary being drawn and EDUs being assigned to one of three categories of parcels: special benefits assigned to properties that lie within the City and not in a LLAD, special benefits assigned to properties that lie within the City and in a LLAD, and general benefits assigned to properties that lie outside the City. The aggregated EDU assignments for each categorization of property determined that 2.81% of the EDUs were attributed to properties located outside of the City. Therefore, it is estimated that 97.19% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway streetlighting would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City and 2.81% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway streetlighting would be a general benefit.

Streetlighting Along Arterial and Major Roadway Cost Allocation The 1,405 roadside and median streetlights located along arterial and major roadways within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary cost approximately $428,000 per year to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. The cost to maintain the streetlighting along the arterial and major roadways are spread to all benefitting parcels identified within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary. The parcels identified to be within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary equate to 26,097 EDUs which results in an annual cost allocation of $16.40 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed,

97.19% of the annual cost to operate and maintain the streetlights would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary.

Table No. 2 shows the streetlight cost allocation associated with arterials and major roadways.

LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Annexation No. 1 SECTION III Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 PART D
18 Landscaping Along Arterial and Major Roadways
Landscaping located along the City’s arterial and major roadways provide a benefit to parcels within and outside the City. The benefits from landscaping include enhanced beautification which allows for:
• Enhanced desirability of property through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties.
• Enhanced beautification to the adjacent developments. • Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the LLADs resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties. • Enhanced quality of life through well-maintained green space and landscaped areas.
• Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the LLADs through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti.
• Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention.
• Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation, and attenuating noise.

To determine which properties benefit from landscaping along the City’s arterial and major roadways a benefit analysis was performed. The analysis utilized Google Maps to determine which arterial and major roadways within the City were most likely to be used by property owners/residents when driving or walking to various destinations inside and outside of the City. The analysis showed that all properties within the City would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system when traveling to destinations within the City or to other cities and communities. The analysis also found that there are additional properties located outside the City limits that would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system when traveling through the City to various destinations outside the City.

Vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow commencing outside of the City but traveling to a destination inside the City was determined to be a special benefit to the destination parcel within the City. The analysis used each parcel’s physical location as a starting destination and then selected ending destinations were inputted (e.g. neighboring cities or LLAD No. 23-1

19 communities surrounding the City of Brentwood). If Google Maps showed the property owner/resident located outside the City would pass through and utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to a destination outside of the City, then they were considered to receive a benefit from the City’s arterial and major roadway system. In addition, the analysis showed that most parcels outside of the City did not benefit from the improvements because they did not utilize the City’s roadways to travel to a destination parcel outside of the City, but would in most circumstances, if not all rather utilize Highway 4 to traverse the City or use an alternative route, therefore circumventing the City’s arterial and major roadways.

In addition to the special and direct benefits the property owners within the City receive from these enhanced landscaping improvements, there are also some incidental general benefits received by vehicular and pedestrian flow-through traffic (traffic that does not stop within the City) which originates from properties outside the City limits from individuals who use the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to another destination outside of the City. It has been determined that some properties not located within the City, north of the City limits, utilize arterial and major roadways within the City when traveling to destinations south of the City and that some properties not located within City, south and east of the City limits, utilize arterial and major roadways within the City when traveling to a destination north of the City. Properties meeting these criteria have been identified and such benefits must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the City’s LLADs.

To quantify and separate the special benefits received by property owners within the City limits and the general benefit received by the property owners outside the City, EDUs were assigned to all benefitting properties (both inside and outside the City). The analysis resulted in a benefit boundary being drawn and EDUs being assigned to one of three categories of parcels: special benefits assigned to properties that lie within the City and not in a LLAD, special benefits assigned to properties that lie within the City and in a LLAD, and general benefits assigned to properties that lie outside the City. It was determined that parcels within the categories that are not in a LLAD benefit less than parcels within the LLADs due to the proximity of the landscaping to the properties within the LLADs. This finding resulted in the EDUs assigned to parcels in the City and not in a LLAD and parcels outside the City being reduced by 50%. The aggregated EDU assignments for each categorization of property determined that 1.63% of the EDUs were attributed to properties located outside of the City. Therefore, it is estimated that 98.37% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway landscaping would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City and 1.63% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway landscaping would be a general benefit.

Landscaping Along Arterial and Major Roadway Cost Allocation The 117.537 acres of City-maintained landscaping along the arterial and major roadways within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary cost approximately $4,584,000 per year to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. The cost to maintain the arterial and major roadway landscaping is spread to all benefitting parcels identified within the Arterial and

LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Annexation No. 1 SECTION III Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 PART D
20 Major Roadway Benefit Boundary. The parcels identified on the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary equate to 23,073 EDUs which results in an annual cost allocation of $198.67 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed, 98.37% of the annual cost to operate and maintain the roadside and median landscaping would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary. Table 3 shows the landscaping cost allocation associated with arterials and major roadways.

Park Facilities
The City of Brentwood’s General Plan policy is aimed at ensuring that recreational opportunities will continue to exist throughout the City and that an adequate park system continues to be developed and maintained to serve the City. In keeping with these policies, the City Council formed a Citywide Park Assessment district for park maintenance in 1997 to secure a funding mechanism for a portion of the benefits and associated costs to maintain community parks and neighborhood parks. In addition, the City’s LLADs were also established to fund park costs associated with each benefiting property for the community and neighborhood parks that could not be funded from the Citywide Park Assessment District. For the purposes of this report, community parks are defined as typically being larger parks that are designed with amenities to serve the City as a whole as described further in the Parks, Trails and Recreation Master Plan originally approved on August 23, 1994 and subsequently approved on June 25, 2002.

Neighborhood parks are defined as being generally smaller than community parks and typically benefit those residents located within a one-half mile radius from the park and as further defined within the Parks, Trails and Recreation Master Plan previously referenced.

There are 100 Parks spread throughout the City serving a population of approximately 65,000 residents. Community and neighborhood parks provide a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City. The special and direct benefit to the parcels consists of enhanced recreational opportunities, including baseball, soccer, swimming, basketball, walking, jogging, etc. and the use of improvements such as: picnic tables, barbequing, playground equipment, community center rooms, green spaces, benches, bioswales, etc.

The parks and the associated recreational opportunities provide for more aesthetically pleasing neighborhoods, environmental and health benefits, community gathering places, and an overall improved and healthier community image, etc. If these park improvements LLAD No. 23-1

21 were not installed, property within the City’s LLADs would not look as appealing to property owners, prospective property buyers, and patrons alike, which would adversely affect the value of their property. Based on the Parks and Economic Development Report published in the American Planning Association, homes adjacent and near parks and open space are typically valued at 8-20% higher than comparable properties, with positive price effect declining to zero about ½ mile away. Therefore, park improvements provide a special and direct benefit to property located within ½ miles of park improvements.

Furthermore, the Brentwood Parks, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan development guidelines as previously referenced herein, states that, neighborhood parks should service residents within a ½ mile +/- radius or approximately 1,000 to 2,000 people. The City maintains on average one neighborhood park per 800 residents. In addition to the special and direct benefits the property owners receive within the City from these enhanced park improvements, there are also some incidental benefits received by residents located from outside the City that may utilize the City’s community and neighborhood parks. Even though these are incidental benefits, they must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the City’s LLADs.

Based on park user data, it is conservatively estimated that approximately 95% of the benefits associated with community parks are of benefit to property within the City and 98% of the benefits associated with neighborhood parks are of a special and direct benefit to properties within ½ mile distance (+/-). Therefore, 95% of the costs to annually operate, maintain, service and replace the community parks and 98% of the costs to annually operate, maintain, service and replace the neighborhood parks would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City, and 5% and 2%, respectively of the annual costs to operate, maintain, service and replace the parks would be a general benefit.

Park Facilities Cost Allocation
The approximate 254.275 acres of community and neighborhood parks within the Park Benefit Boundary cost approximately $9,533,200 to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. The cost to maintain the parks is spread to all benefitting parcels identified within the Parks Benefit Boundary.

The community parks within the Park Benefit Boundary cost approximately $4,443,700 to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed, 95% of the annual cost to operate and maintain community parks is considered a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the park benefit boundary and 5% of the annual cost to operate and maintain community parks is considered a general benefit. The parcels identified within the Park Benefit Boundary equate to 23,043 EDUs, which results in an annual cost allocation of $86.60 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars for community parks. Table 4A shows the cost allocation associated with community parks.

LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Annexation No. 1 SECTION III Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 PART D
22 The neighborhood parks within the Park Benefit Boundary cost approximately $5,089,500 to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed, approximately 98% of the annual cost to operate and maintain neighborhood parks is considered a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the park benefit boundary and 2% of the annual cost to operate and maintain neighborhood parks is considered a general benefit. The parcels identified within the Park Benefit Boundary equate to 23,043 EDUs, which results in an annual cost allocation of $143.47 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars for neighborhood parks.

Table 4B shows the cost allocation associated with neighborhood parks.

The total annual cost allocation needed to maintain the community and neighborhood parks within the Park Benefit Boundary is $230.07 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars as summarized in Table 4C below.

In-Tract Streetlighting
To determine which properties benefit from in-tract or development specific streetlighting a benefit analysis was performed. Streetlighting located along and adjacent to the in-tract streets provide a special and direct benefit to parcels within the developments.

23 addition, this enhanced illumination helps deter criminal or suspicious activity such as property theft, vandalism, illegal dumping, etc.

Since the in-tract streets within the development are designed to have minimal flow through traffic, there are few reasons for vehicles to access the in-tract streets unless their destination is to or from a single-family residential parcel within the development.

However, it is reasonable to conclude that some vehicular traffic may on a rare occasion utilize the in-tract streets due to the need to turn around or a mistaken turn into the development. The rare circumstance where a pedestrian or vehicle mistakenly uses the in-tract streets, have been determined to be a rare and infrequent circumstance. Even though these are rare and infrequent circumstances, they must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the City’s LLADs. Therefore, based on flowthrough traffic it is conservatively estimated that approximately 98% of the annual trips along in-tract roadways within the development would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City’s LLADs and 2% of the annual trips along in-tract roadways within the development would be a general benefit.

To quantify and separate the special benefits received by all property within the development EDUs were assigned to all benefitting properties inside the development as identified. It was determined that 2% of the cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the in-tract street lighting were assigned to properties located outside of the development.

Therefore, it is estimated that 98% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the in-tract streetlighting would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within each development and 2% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the in-tract streetlighting would be a general benefit.

In-Tract Streetlighting Cost Allocation
The in-tract streetlights within the In-Tract Benefit Boundary cost approximately $3,600 to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed, 98% of the annual cost to operate and maintain the in-tract streetlights is a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the In-Tract Benefit Boundary and is spread to all benefitting parcels within the InTract Benefit Boundary. The parcels identified on the In-Tract Benefit Boundary equate to 82.50 EDUs which results in an annual cost allocation of $42.76 per EDU in FY 2025- 26 dollars. Table 5 shows the cost allocation associated with in-tract streetlights.

24 In-Tract Landscaping
To determine which properties benefit from in-tract or development specific landscaping a benefit analysis was performed. Landscaping located along and adjacent to the in-tract streets provide a special and direct benefit to parcels within the development. The special and direct benefits from in-tract landscaping within the development consists of enhanced beautification to the entrances and along the roadsides within the development. Property owners who reside within these developments realize this enhanced aesthetic benefit when they are entering and exiting the development. If these in-tract landscape improvements were not installed, the developments would not look as appealing to property owners and prospective property buyers which would adversely affect the value of their property. Therefore, these landscape improvements provide a specific enhancement to their property values and not a general enhancement of property values.

Since the in-tract streets within the development are designed to have minimal flow through traffic, there are few reasons for vehicles to access the in-tract streets unless their destination is to or from a single-family residential parcel within the development.

However, it is reasonable to conclude that some vehicular traffic may on a rare occasion utilize the in-tract streets due to the need to turn around or a mistaken turn into the development. The rare circumstance where a pedestrian or vehicle mistakenly uses the in-tract streets, have been determined to be a rare and infrequent circumstance. Even though these are rare and infrequent circumstances, they must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the City’s LLADs. Therefore, based on flowthrough traffic it is conservatively estimated that approximately 98% of the annual trips along in-tract roadways within the development would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the LLADs and 2% of the annual trips along in-tract roadways within the development would be a general benefit.

To quantify and separate the special benefits received by all property within the development EDUs were assigned was applied to all benefitting properties inside the development as identified. It was determined that 2% of the cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the in-tract landscaping were assigned to properties located outside of the development. Therefore, it is estimated that 98% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the in-tract landscaping would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the development and 2% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the in-tract landscaping would be a general benefit.

In-Tract Landscaping Cost Allocation
The 2.46 acres of in-tract landscaping within the In-Tract Benefit Boundary cost approximately $56,553 to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed, 98% of the annual cost to operate and maintain the in-tract landscaping is a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the In-Tract Benefit Boundary and is spread to all benefitting parcels within the In-Tract Benefit Boundary. The parcels identified on the In-Tract Benefit Boundary equate to 82.50 EDUs which results in an annual cost allocation of $671.78 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars. Table 6 shows the cost allocation associated with in-tract landscaping.

LLAD No. 23-1 (Orchard Grove) Annexation No. 1 SECTION III Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 PART D
25 Trails
Trails provide special and direct benefits to the parcels located within a certain proximity to the trails. These special and direct benefits consist of enhanced recreational opportunities such as walking, jogging, biking, etc. within and along their developments.

These benefits allow for:
• Increases in options to exercise and incorporate recreational opportunities into daily routines.
• Increases in opportunities to travel and connect with places people may need or want to go.
• Enhanced environmental opportunities because of improvement in air quality due to people utilizing the trail verse driving to nearby destinations. • Specific enhancements in property values due to the increase in walkability of an area and the increase in amenities.

In addition, the trails provide general benefits to the public-at-large since they it is a public trail system and anyone from the public can access it. To determine who is most likely to use trails, the City’s Parks and Recreation Department staff performed a trail user survey over multiple days at different times and locations along existing trail segments over a three-month period. Based upon their survey findings, ninety-three percent (93%) of trail users were benefitting property owners located both within the City and those outside the City limits, who lived within ½-mile (+/-) of trails. The ½-mile benefit boundaries from each respective trail can vary slightly for trail segments due to the location of geographical features and major roadways. Therefore, it is estimated that 93% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the trail improvements would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the ½-mile (+/-) distance both within and outside the City and 7% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the trail improvements would be a general benefit. Special benefits assigned to properties that lie within a ½ mile (+/-) of trails that are not within a LLAD (in or outside the City), are special benefits that will be paid by the City because they cannot be assessed to parcels within LLADs. Only the benefits associated with properties within the City and within a LLAD that are within a ½ mile (+/-) distance of trails will be assessed.

26 Trails Assessment Allocation
The 27.828 acres of trails within the District Trail Benefit Boundary (Appendix B) cost approximately $1,290,700 to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed, 93% of the annual cost to operate and maintain these trail segments are a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the Trail Benefit Boundary and is spread to all benefitting parcels within the Trail Benefit Boundary. The parcels identified to be within the Trail Benefit Boundary equate to 6,603.87 EDUs which results in an annual cost allocation of $181.77 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars. Table No. 7 below shows the cost allocation associated with the District Trail Benefit Boundary.

DISTRICT MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT RATE
The maximum assessment rate may be adjusted each subsequent fiscal year to correspond with the annual increase in the San Francisco Bay Area Urban Wage Earners Consumer Price Index from December to December of each year (Base Year of 2024), or 2% whichever is greater.

Parcels within the District become assessable once the final maps have been approved by the City of Brentwood or it is anticipated that improvements will need to be maintained or reserve funds will need to be collected in the ensuing fiscal year.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
01/27/2026
SUBJECT: Direction Regarding City Comments on BLM Oil and Gas Leasing and Development
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
STAFF: Harold Duffey, City Manager
Alexis Morris, Director of Community Development

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Receive informational report on the release of the Bureau of Land Management’s Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for oil and gas leasing and development on public lands in the Central Coast Field Office planning area (including Contra Costa County) and provide direction regarding submitting a comment letter on the SEIS or a general letter of opposition to the project.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no cost associated with this item, other than staff time to attend a public meeting and prepare a letter reflecting the Council’s remarks, if directed to do so by Council.

BACKGROUND
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior.

It manages roughly 245 million acres of public lands and 700 million acres of “mineral estate,” which is the ownership of subsurface resources such as oil and gas. Among other things, BLM sells oil and gas leases in line with its resource management plans, which serve as land management blueprints.

In May 2019, BLM published its Central Coast Field Office's Proposed Resource Management Plan Amendment (RMPA), which made approximately 725,500 acres of public lands and federal mineral estate available for oil and gas leasing. The Central Coast Field Office planning area includes Contra Costa, Alameda, Monterey, San Benito, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties, and portions of Fresno, Merced and San Joaquin counties.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
01/27/2026
Concurrently with its release of the RMPA, BLM also issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement for Oil and Gas Leasing and Development (FEIS) to study the RMPA under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). (In California, land use projects undergo environmental review through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) may be prepared.

Federal projects, on the other hand, are subject to NEPA, under which documents such as an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) may be prepared to assess such impacts.)
In 2020, a coalition of groups, including the Center for Biological Diversity, sued BLM over the RMPA, citing deficiencies in the FEIS (Center for Biological Diversity v. BLM).

BLM has now released a Supplemental EIS studying the RMPA to comply with the terms of the settlement agreement in that lawsuit. As its name suggests, this Supplemental EIS supplements, not replaces in whole, the original EIS that was done for the project.

The purpose of the Supplemental EIS is to analyze the environmental effects of oil and gas leasing and development within the Planning Area and to determine whether changes are needed to the fluid minerals decisions based on new information or changes in circumstances in the CCFO.

BLM is currently accepting public comments on the SEIS for oil and gas leasing and development. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a Notice of Availability (NOA) on January 16, 2025. The public comment period for this environmental document ends on March 6, 2026.

The NOA with a detailed project description and contact information is included in Attachment 1. A map of the project area is included in Attachment 2. The SEIS is available at the following link:
https://eplanning.blm.gov/Documents/?id=fb0aabe9-a7f2-f011-8406- 001dd802fdea&spid=15f36492-a8f2-f011-8406-001dd8008d46
Public Involvement Process
The BLM will hold a public meeting on January 29, 2026 to receive public comment.

City staff will attend the meeting. According to the meeting invitation, “This virtual public meeting will begin with a project presentation, followed by a verbal public comment session.” Registration is required to attend the meeting. The public can register via the form available at the following link:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
01/27/2026
The BLM will not accept written public comments on the SEIS during the meeting.

The public can submit written comments before the March 6 deadline, via the following link:

Staff is requesting that the City Council (1) provide direction on whether to submit a comment letter on the SEIS, and (2) if so, provide direction on the comments that should be included in the letter. If the Council directs staff to prepare a letter, staff would draft the letter for the City Manager’s signature and submit it to BLM by the March 6th deadline.

Alternatively, if the City Council has not reviewed the SEIS and is not prepared to provide direction on specific comments, the Council could direct staff to write a general comment letter opposing oil and gas drilling near the City’s borders, particularly that which would be allowed by the Central Coast Field Office's Proposed Resource Management Plan Amendment. This letter could be prepared for the Mayor’s review and signature and submitted by the March 6th deadline for SEIS comments.

Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 13, 2026 / Notices 1329 Regarding electronic equipment, CBP
has found that circuit boards undergo a
substantial transformation into PCBAs
when various components are
assembled onto the board via SMT. See
C.S.D. 85–25, 19 Cust. Bull. 844 (1985)
(determining that the assembly of the
PCBA involved a very large number of
components and a significant number of
different operations, required a
relatively significant period of time as
well as skill, attention to detail, and
quality control, and resulted in
significant economic benefit to the
beneficiary developing country from the
standpoint of both value added to the
PCBA and the overall employment
generated thereby). Additionally, CBP
has found that the mere attachment of
wires to a PCBA and installation into a
case, along with minor tuning processes,
does not result in a substantial
transformation. See HQ 561232, dated
April 20, 2004.

In rulings concerning the country of
origin of origin of a device containing
multiple PCBAs, CBP has examined the
function of the PCBAs contained in the
device to determine the origin of the
device. See HQ H311606, dated June 16,
2021. In New York Ruling Letter (‘‘NY’’)
N348165, dated May 12, 2025, CBP
found the country of origin of a camera
to be the country in which the PCBA
became fully functional. In multiple
rulings, CBP determined that the PCBAs
contributed to the main functionality of
a finished camera. In NY N339727,
dated May 21, 2024, CBP stated that the
PCBAs contributed to the main
functionality of security cameras and
that there was no substantial
transformation after the PCBAs were
constructed. In NY N330296, dated
February 8, 2023, and NY N328151,
dated October 6, 2022, CBP stated that
the PCBAs for a surveillance camera
contributed to the main functionality of
the camera.

Here, the zoom sensor board,
panoramic sensor board, and main
board are essential to the character of
the finished camera as they are
responsible for capturing and converting
images. These boards enable the camera
to function as intended. These boards
are produced in Taiwan. Additionally,
the zoom lens assembly, which is the
longest and most complex assembly
process, takes place in Taiwan.

Therefore, the Lumens PTZ Camera is a
product of Taiwan for purposes of U.S.

Government procurement.

Holding
Based on the information provided,
for purposes of U.S. Government
procurement, the Lumens PTZ Camera
is a product of Taiwan.

Notice of this final determination will
be given in the Federal Register, as
required by 19 CFR 177.29. Any partyat-interest other than the party which requested this final determination may
request, pursuant to 19 CFR 177.31, that
CBP reexamine the matter anew and
issue a new final determination.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 177.30, any partyat-interest may, within 30 days of publication of the Federal Register
Notice referenced above, seek judicial
review of this final determination before
the U.S. Court of International Trade.

1330 Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 13, 2026 / Notices alternatives as analyzed in the 2019
Proposed RMP/Final EIS were:

Alternative A. Alternative A would
continue current management under the
existing RMP. All Federal mineral estate
would be available for oil and gas
leasing, except for designated
wilderness, wilderness study areas, the
Fort Ord National Monument, and the
Clear Creek Serpentine Area of Critical
Environmental Concern (ACEC), which
are closed under the existing RMP. No
Surface Occupancy (NSO) stipulations
would be applied in ACECs and to
Recreation and Public Purpose (R&PP)
leases. The Endangered Species
stipulation from the existing RMP
would apply in all areas open to leasing.

Alternative B. Under Alternative B,
Federal mineral estate within the
boundaries of oil and gas fields plus a

0.5-mile buffer currently identified by
the Geologic Energy Management
Division (CalGEM) would be available
for leasing. Other areas would be closed
to oil and gas leasing, including all
National Conservation Lands.

Controlled Surface Use (CSU)
stipulations would apply to all lands
open to leasing.

Alternative C. Under Alternative C,
unless currently closed under the
existing RMP, Federal mineral estate
would be open to leasing within high oil
and gas potential areas or within 0.5-
mile of the boundaries of oil and gas
fields currently identified by CalGEM,
with the exception of core population
areas of the giant kangaroo rat in the
vicinity of Panoche, Griswold-Tumey
and Ciervo Hills, which would be
closed to leasing. CSU stipulations
would apply to all lands open to
leasing. NSO stipulations would apply
to some lands open to leasing,
including: (1) Threatened and
endangered species critical habitat; (2)
BLM-developed recreation and
administrative sites; and (3) Special
status split estate lands (e.g., State
parks, county parks, lands with existing
conservation easements, land trusts and
scenic designations).

Alternative D. Under Alternative D,
unless currently closed under the
existing RMP, Federal mineral estate
underlying BLM surface estate would be
available for leasing. All Federal
mineral estate underlying the Ciervo
Panoche Natural Area (both BLM
surface and split-estate lands) would be
closed to leasing. CSU stipulations
would apply to all lands open to
leasing. NSO stipulations would be
applied in ACECs and R&PP leases.

Alternative E. Under Alternative E,
unless currently closed under the
existing RMP, Federal mineral estate
outside of a California Department of
Water Resources Bulletin 118,
Groundwater Basin or Sub-basin, would
be available for leasing. CSU
stipulations would apply to all lands
open to leasing. NSO stipulations would
apply to some lands open to leasing,
including: (1) 12-digit Hydrologic Unit
Codes (HUCs) intersecting EPA
impaired, perennial surface waters
(BLM surface and split estate); (2) 12-
digit HUCs intersecting non-impaired,
perennial surface waters that intersect
split estate; (3) 12-digit HUC subwatersheds with the highest aquatic intactness score; (4) 0.25 miles from
non-impaired, perennial surface waters;
and (5) 0.25 miles from eligible Wild
and Scenic Rivers.

Alternative F (Preferred Alternative).

Under Alternative F, all Federal mineral
estate would be available for oil and gas
leasing with CSU stipulations, except
for designated wilderness, wilderness
study areas, the Fort Ord National
Monument, and the Clear Creek
Serpentine ACEC, which are closed
under the existing RMP. NSO
stipulations would be applied in the
Joaquin Rocks ACEC, as well as within
ACECs and giant kangaroo rat core
population areas in the Ciervo Panoche
Natural Area. Under each action
alternative, CSU stipulations would
apply to all lands open to leasing. The
CSU stipulations would mitigate
impacts to sensitive resources such as
protected, sensitive, and priority
species; critical and priority habitat;
cultural resources; and water resources
by requiring special operational
constraints on surface use to protect
these resources.

The results of this Draft Supplemental
Analysis, additive to those identified in
the 2019 Final EIS, did not show
notable increase in total impacts. No
conflicts were found between the
estimated impacts of the alternatives
and the resource or program
management goals and objectives stated
in the RMP amendment. The range of
alternatives has not changed between
the BLM-approved 2019 RMP
amendment and its 2019 Final EIS, and
the 2025 Draft Supplemental EIS.

Therefore, no amendment to the 2019
RMP amendment is necessary.

The Draft Supplement EIS addresses
two lease parcels within the CCFO that
do not contain NSO stipulations (nonNSO leases). Fourteen lease parcels were considered in the 2019 Final EIS,
but twelve of the fourteen prospective
leases were declined or terminated at
the request of the bidder. The BLM’s
proposed plan identifies
implementation-level decisions for the
two remaining issued but suspended
leases. For each of the two remaining
lease parcels, the implementation
decision identifies stipulations
necessary for resource protection. These
implementation-level decisions are
subject to appeal to the Interior Board of
Land Appeals after the signing of a
Record of Decision for this project.

Public Involvement Process
The date(s) and location(s) of any
additional meetings will be announced
in advance through local media,
newspapers, ePlanning project page (see
ADDRESSES), BLM website (see
ADDRESSES).

The BLM will continue to consult
with Indian Tribal Nations on a
government-to-government basis in
accordance with Executive Order 13175,
BLM Manual Section 1780 and other
Departmental policies. Tribal concerns,
including impacts on Indian trust assets
and potential impacts to cultural
resources, will be given due
consideration.

Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personally identifiable information in
your comment, you should be aware
that your entire comment—including
your personally identifiable
information—may be made publicly
available at any time. While you can ask

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
1/27/2026
SUBJECT: 2025/26 Mid-year Operating Budget Amendments and ten-year General Fund Fiscal Model update
DEPARTMENT: Finance and Information Systems
STAFF: Christine Andrews, Acting Director of Finance and Info. Systems Sonia Agostini, Accounting Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution amending the 2025/26 Operating Budget and receive an update of the ten-year General Fund Fiscal Model (“Fiscal Model”).

FISCAL IMPACT
Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 Operating Budget amendments are summarized in the Background section. A detailed schedule of budget amendments can be found in Exhibit A and detailed descriptions of each amendment can be found in Exhibit B.

The proposed amendments included in this report are consistent with the City Council’s direction that current revenues cover current operational expenditures and that the General Fund reserve of 30% of operating expenditures is maintained.

Including the amendments outlined in this report, the General Fund is conservatively projected to have an approximate break-even result from ongoing operations for FY 2025/26. However, due to an increase in the 30% reserve requirement, staff is projecting a transfer in from the Budget Stabilization Fund (BSF) of approximately $0.6M for FY 2025/26 will be needed.

If the FY 2025/26 financial outcome were to result in a surplus, after accounting for reserve requirements and pursuant to Policy, half of any surplus would be used to pay down unfunded pension obligations, while the other half of the surplus would be transferred to the BSF.

If necessary, staff will keep the City Council informed of any significant economic impacts to the operating budget. The next regularly scheduled financial update will be included as a part of the FY 2026/27 – FY 2027/25 Operating Budget workshop in May 2026.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
1/27/2026

BACKGROUND
The City’s Operating Budget is prepared on a two-year cycle, which currently includes both FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26. Section 2.5 of the Council/Administrative Policy No. 10-5, Budget and Fiscal Policies (“Policy”) requires that the City Council formally review the City’s fiscal condition and, if necessary, amend the operating budget no later than seven months after the beginning of each fiscal year.

Tonight’s action is a mid-fiscal year or “mid-year” review of the 2025/26 Operating Budget required by this Policy. Staff has completed a thorough review of all of the City’s funds and operations and is recommending amendments to the 2025/26 Operating Budget summarized in this report. A detailed schedule of all of the proposed budget amendments can be found in Exhibit A and detailed descriptions of each amendment can be found in Exhibit B.

RECAPPING GENERAL FUND FY 2024/25 RESULTS
At the close of FY 2024/25, General Fund revenues exceeded expenditures and reserve requirements by $1.3 million. A primary factor in this result was $1.1 million in one-time investment fair value gains.

Pursuant to Policy, half of the surplus ($656,515) will be used to pay down unfunded pension liability, while the other half of the surplus was transferred to the BSF. The balance in the BSF is projected to be used to offset rising pension and retiree medical costs in the intermediate-term.

GENERAL FUND FY 2025/26 PROJECTION
For FY 2025/26, staff’s current conservative projection estimates that the General Fund will have an approximate break-even result from ongoing operations, with revenues approximately equal to ongoing and one-time expenses. However, due to increases in the 30% reserve requirement, staff is projecting a transfer in from the BSF of approximately $0.6 million will be needed. This projected result includes all of the proposed General Fund amendments summarized below.

If the FY 2025/26 financial outcome results in a surplus, after accounting for reserve requirements, half of any surplus would be used to pay down unfunded pension obligations, while the other half of the surplus would be transferred to the Budget Stabilization Fund. With the City Council’s recent establishment of a Section 115 prefunding pension trust, staff would return to the City Council for their funding direction

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
1/27/2026
(direct payment to CalPERS vs. contribution to the Section 115 Trust) prior to completing any pension paydown.

GENERAL FUND TEN-YEAR FISCAL MODEL PROJECTION
The Fiscal Model assesses the impacts of proposed budget changes and whether those changes affect the City’s goal of a sustainable financial future. The Fiscal Model provides a tool to evaluate changes in the budget and project out the impacts of current economic conditions and policy decisions against future revenues and expenses. It is important to note that the Fiscal Model provides an analysis for a specific point in time and many variables can and do significantly change the forecast.

The Fiscal Model is not a precise prediction of future results; instead, it identifies long-term trends and potential financial challenges. With proper planning and vision, the Fiscal Model allows for course corrections well in advance of potential financial problems becoming a reality.

A summary of the results of the current Fiscal Model forecast is presented in the following graph:

At the end of the ten-year period, the remaining Budget Stabilization Fund (“BSF”) balance, in green, is projected to be about $0.9 million. It should be noted that

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
1/27/2026
staff’s very long-term projections indicate decreasing cost pressures in the 15-20 year timeframe, which should eliminate the need for the Budget Stabilization Fund.

A few key factors included in the most current version of the Fiscal Model include:
 Impacts from the terms of the current labor contracts and estimated costs for future negotiations
 Increases in future CalPERS pension costs for current labor contract terms and estimated personnel cost increases for future negotiations  Estimated personnel savings rate falling to around 6.5% in the near-term from the current projected savings rate of approximately 7.0% (our five year personnel savings average is 8.6%).
 Future operating costs for the future Sand Creek Sports Complex and Vineyards Amphitheater project (approximately $575k per year combined)  Impacts of absorbing the Affordable Housing costs into the General Fund when the Affordable Housing In-Lieu funds are exhausted (estimated $700k starting in 2029)
 Slowing development, with an average of only 63 single family and 155 multifamily permits per year, and modest commercial, office and industrial development over the ten-year period
 Higher medium-term investment returns on cash balances due to higher interest rates tapering off in the longer-term
 Funding has been set aside for a future City projects and initiatives, including a comprehensive General Plan Update and redistricting
 Increasing costs relating to underfunding of certain lighting and landscapting districts (LLAD’s)
The Fiscal Model projections can, and will, change over time, as new economic conditions emerge and the City Council enacts policy decisions. Staff will continue to update the Fiscal Model for these changes as they occur and report back regularly.

UNFUNDED PENSION LIABILITY PAYDOWN
Policy requires any General Fund surplus at the end of each fiscal year exceeding the 30% reserve requirement be transferred to the BSF. Subsequently, 50% of the surplus is used to pay down unfunded pension or retiree medical obligations. The FY 2024/25 General Fund surplus was $1.3 million, half of which ($656,515) will be used to reduce unfunded pension liabilities.

In addition, staff is recommending an additional discretionary pension paydown in the amount of $600,000 from the BSF. The City Council approved a set-aside of a $1.2 million surplus in June 2024 as a good faith measure during ongoing labor

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
1/27/2026
negotiations. As all labor negotiations have concluded, staff is recommending that 50% of the set-aside be used for a pension paydown in accordance with Policy. An adjustment for the additional $600,000 paydown has been incorporated into the proposed budget amendments.

Budget amendments are also being proposed tonight for the non-General Fund funds that have employees to contribute their fair share of the proposed total $1.2 million paydown. This will ensure that the non-General Fund funds pay their and receive applicable future rate reductions. An additional paydown of $909,100 from all other funds has been incorporated into the proposed budget amendments.

If the City Council chooses not to approve the additional $600,000 discretionary pension paydown, the proportional transfers from the non-General Fund funds associated with the $600,000 portion of the paydown would not be needed. 2025/26 PROPOSED GENERAL FUND BUDGET AMENDMENTS
General Fund revenue budget increases are proposed for sales tax, development revenue and increased interfund services. These increases are offset by proposed budget reductions in property transfer tax, hotel tax and franchise fee revenues resulting in a net increase in revenue of approximately $60,900.

An expenditure budget increase is being requested in the City Manager division for the purchase of a new vehicle to better support the needs of the City Manager Department. The Police Department request is for the cost of newly required software. The Parks and Recreation Department increases are for part-time salaries,

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
1/27/2026
utilities and other landscape services cost increases. The Community Development request is for increased credit card processing fees, which will be entirely offset by an increase in credit card surcharge revenue. Engineering is requesting a budget amendment to fund an increase in Contra Costa Clean Water Program costs. These proposed increases are offset by a net reduction in community services costs, primarily due to a one-time credit for animal services provided by the County.

Detailed amounts and explanations of all budget requests can be found in the attached Exhibit A and Exhibit B.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS BUDGET AMENDMENTS
The proposed expenditure budget increases in the Enterprise Funds account for increased Interfund Services costs and increased transfers to the BSF for the Enterprise Funds’ proportional share of the proposed 2025/26 pension paydown.

Detailed amounts and explanations of all budget requests can be found in the attached Exhibit A and Exhibit B.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
1/27/2026

OTHER FUNDS BUDGET AMENDMENTS
A proposed revenue budget increase in the Police Grants Fund is to account for the receipt of new grant funds. The increase in revenue in the Pension/Other PostEmployment Benefits (OPEB) Fund accounts for transfers in from Other Funds for their proportional share of the proposed 2025/26 pension paydown.

An expenditure budget increase in the Police Grants Fund is proposed to account for new grant expenditures, which is offset entirely by the proposed revenue increase.

The request in the Asset Forfeiture Fund is to account for minor investigations costs.

Increases in the Information Services, Fleet Maintenance Services and Facilities Maintenance Services Funds account for their proportional share of the proposed 2025/26 pension paydown. The Information Services Fund has an additional increase proposed for one-time workshop and ongoing software cost increases. The Pension/OPEB Fund expenditure increase accounts for the proposed additional 2025/26 pension paydown.

Detailed amounts and explanations of all budget requests can be found in the attached Exhibit A and Exhibit B.

BUDGET AND DEBT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
The prior Budget and Debt Management Committee was dissolved effective January 1, 2026, and a successor committee was not formed until January 13, 2026. Due to timing constraints, the contents of this report were not reviewed by either Committee. Prior to dissolution, however, the Committee did recommend that the $1.2 million surplus set-aside for labor negotiations in June 2024 be released, with

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
1/27/2026
50% being utilized for a pension pay down and 50% deposited into the General Fund, as discussed in the “Unfunded Pension Liability Paydown” section above.

NEXT STEPS IN THE BUDGET PROCESS
Staff is in the process of developing a draft 2026/27 – 2028/29 Operating Budget along with the draft 2026/27 – 2031/32 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget.

Staff will meet with the newly formed Budget and Debt Management Committee in the coming months, and the public will have opportunities to help shape the development of these Budgets at the CIP Budget Workshop in April 2026 and the Operating Budget Workshop in May 2026.

EXHIBIT B
FY 2025/26 PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENTS

GENERAL FUND
Revenues
Sales taxes are the City’s secondary source of revenue for the General Fund, following property taxes as the primary source. Based on current consumer spending projections along with a one-time true-up adjustment, the City’s sales tax consultant estimates that FY 2025/26 revenue from sales taxes will be $350,858 higher than the current budget. After this adjustment, the sales tax revenue budget would be approximately $13.3 million for FY 2025/26. Unfortunately, we expect this increase to be one-time, rather than an ongoing increase.

Development revenue is projected to be $283,599 higher than originally budgeted.

Of this amount, $253,076 is due to the increase in permitting fees approved by the City Council in FY 2024/25 along with higher than anticipated permit activity, offset by a slight reduction in planning fees of $19,477. In addition, an increase of $50,000 in credit card surcharge revenue increases are included in the requested amount, which will be offset by credit card processing fees of the same amount included in the expenditure requests below.

Other revenue from a variety of sources is expected to see a net decrease from the FY 2025/26 budget by about $290,000, as detailed below:
 In comparing current year-to-date activity to prior year activity:
o Hotel tax revenues are projected to fall short of budget by $111,156, with year-to-date revenue about 17% below last year’s pace. o Franchise fees are projected to come in lower than budget by $90,344 due to the impact of higher than expected consumer transition from traditional cable services to video streaming.
o Property tax transfer receipts are projected to be lower than budget by $225,336 due to a decline in property sales transactions resulting from persistently high interest rates.
 An increase in interfund services revenue of $136,870 is proposed to account for the increased cost services provided by the General Fund to other funds, driven mainly by the addition of the new Human Resources Equity Analyst position in FY 2024/25 and the additional costs associated with the completion of labor negotiations.

The total combined General Fund revenue amendments are an increase of $344,941, which represents approximately 0.4% of the current budgeted revenue.

Expenditures
The City Manager division is requesting an increase of $50,000 in capital expenditures to purchase one new vehicle. This addition to the City’s fleet is requested because the City Manager routinely attends monthly and quarterly off-site meetings and will be conducting district tours with members of the City Council.

Currently, a pool car is being loaned for City Manager use, resulting in vehicle shortages in other City departments. To support the future replacement of this additional vehicle, an increase in transfers to the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund will be incorporated into future operating budgets.

The Police Department is requesting an increase in the contractual services - software budget of $40,500 to account for several newly required software purchases, not accounted for in the current budget.

An increase in Library costs of $2,968 is proposed to account for supplemental technology expenses included in the library lease with the County.

A decrease of $62,774 in the Animal Services budget for services provided by Contra Costa County is proposed to account for a one-time credit for prior year budgetary savings.

Parks and Recreation Department budget increases are proposed for the following:
 Landscape Operations - $25,000 for cost increases in utilities, $20,000 to service the trees in the downtown area, and an additional $2,750 for weed abatement services.
 Sports and Recreation Programs – $45,000 for increased part-time salaries necessary for certain programs that can no longer be located in the Community Center and run by the front counter staff ($20,000), and additional staff required to open and close the pickleball courts ($25,000).  External Special Events – $5,000 for increased part-time salaries to staff external special events.

The Building division is proposing a $50,000 increase in the budget for higher credit card fees related to permit activity in the current year. This amount is entirely offset by credit card surcharge revenue incorporated into the Development revenue budget amendment request above.

The Engineering Department is requesting a $40,972 budget increase for permits/fees as a result of increased costs of the Contra Costa Clean Water Program.

Total combined General Fund expenditure amendments are an increase of $219,416, which represents approximately 0.3% of the current budgeted expenditures.

UNFUNDED PENSION LIABILITY PAYDOWN AND ENTERPRISE FUNDS Unfunded Pension Liability Paydown
Council/Administrative Policy No. 10-5, Budget and Fiscal Policies (“Policy”) requires any General Fund surplus at the end of each fiscal year exceeding the 30% reserve requirement be transferred to the Budget Stabilization Fund (BSF). Subsequently, 50% of the surplus is used to pay down unfunded pension or retiree medical obligations. The FY 2024/25 General Fund surplus was $1.3 million, half of which ($656,515) will be used to reduce unfunded pension liabilities. A budget adjustment request is not necessary for this payment as authority to make the amendment is provided through Policy.

Staff is also recommending an additional discretionary pension paydown in the amount of $600,000 from the BSF. This amount represents 50% of the $1.2 million set-aside approved by City Council in June 2024 as a good faith measure during ongoing labor negotiations. As all labor negotiations have concluded, staff is recommending that 50% of the set-aside be used for a pension paydown in accordance with Policy. An adjustment for the additional $600,000 paydown has been incorporated into the proposed budget amendments. The prior Budget and Debt Management Ad Committee had previously recommended this action.

Budget amendments are also being proposed tonight for the non-General Fund funds to contribute their fair share of the proposed total $1.2 million paydown. This will ensure that the non-General Fund funds pay their fair share of the paydowns and receive applicable future rate reductions. An additional paydown of $909,100 from all other funds has been incorporated into the proposed budget amendments.

In total, budget amendments to the BSF in the amount of $1,509,143 are being requested for a proposed paydown of $600,000 from the set-aside and fair share contribution from non-General Fund funds of $909,143.

Solid Waste, Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds
The City provides residents with Solid Waste, Water and Wastewater services. The charges for these services (user fees), along with the costs for providing the services, are accounted for in individual Enterprise Funds. These funds are self-supporting and do not receive any General Fund support.

User fees are set in accordance with Proposition 218, which requires that customers be given the opportunity to challenge proposed rates. Rate studies are conducted

periodically to ensure the enterprise rates are sufficient to cover: operating expenses, capital improvements, upgrades and costs associated with meeting both State and Federal guidelines and regulations. In June 2023, a 5-year rate study was approved by the City Council. The following budget amendment requests are specific to each Enterprise:

Solid Waste
The Solid Waste Enterprise Fund accounts for the operation, maintenance and capital costs of the solid waste system. As discussed above in the Unfunded Pension Liability Paydown section, pension paydowns, sourced from the General Fund, are planned in FY 2025/26. A budget amendment of $224,362 is being proposed to provide Solid Waste’s proportional (matching) share of the paydown amount. Additionally, a budget amendment of $23,873 is proposed for increased interfund services to account for an increase in service costs provided by the General Fund.

Water
The Water Enterprise Fund accounts for the operation, maintenance and capital costs of the Water system. As discussed above in the Unfunded Pension Liability Paydown section, pension paydowns, sourced from the General Fund, are planned in FY 2025/26. A budget amendment of $238,656 is being proposed to provide Water’s proportional (matching) share of the paydown amount.

Additionally, a budget amendment of $60,148 is proposed for increased interfund services to account for an increase in service costs provided by the General Fund.

Wastewater
The Wastewater Enterprise Fund accounts for the operation, maintenance and capital costs of the wastewater system. As discussed above in the Unfunded Pension Liability Paydown section, pension paydowns, sourced from the General Fund, are planned in FY 2025/26. A budget amendment of $223,279 is being proposed to provide Wastewater’s proportional (matching) share of the paydown amount. Additionally, a budget amendment of $50,751 is proposed for increased interfund services to account for increased service costs provided by the General Fund.

Housing Enterprise Fund
The Housing Enterprise Fund accounts for the administration of the housing rental units, Affordable Housing and the First-Time Homebuyers program. As discussed above in the Unfunded Pension Liability Paydown section, pension paydowns, sourced from the General Fund, are planned in FY 2025/26. A budget amendment of $25,988 is being proposed to provide Housing’s proportional (matching) share of the paydown amount. Additionally, a budget amendment of $2,098 is proposed for increased interfund services to account for an increase in service costs provided by the General Fund.

OTHER FUNDS
Police Grants Fund
The Police Grants Fund accounts for all Federal, State and County grant funds awarded to the Police Department requiring segregated fund accounting. An amendment is required to account for the revenues and expenditures associated with the $86,400 grant award from the State of California. The Traffic Records Improvement Project (TRIP) grant funds were awarded to the City in October 2025 and will assist with implementing a comprehensive electronic citation data collection system and a traffic crash database system interface. Together these expenditures will streamline citation and reporting processes, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.

Asset Forfeiture Fund
The Asset Forfeiture Fund accounts for all property and/or funds seized by the Police Department. An expenditure budget increase of $2,000 is being requested to account for investigations costs.

Information Systems
The Information Systems Fund provides a source of funding for the development and coordination of the City’s information system’s needs. A requested budget increase in contractual services - software of $113,000 is proposed to account for one-time workshop and ongoing software cost increases. Also, as discussed above in the Unfunded Pension Liability Paydown section, pension paydowns sourced from the General Fund are planned in FY 2025/26. A budget amendment of $119,328 is being proposed to provide Information System’s proportional (matching) share of the paydown amount.

Fleet Maintenance Services
The Fleet Maintenance Services Fund provide a source of funding for the maintenance of all City vehicles, except for Police Department vehicles. As discussed above in the Unfunded Pension Liability Paydown section, pension paydowns sourced from the General Fund are planned in FY 2025/26. A budget amendment of $39,198 is being proposed to provide Fleet Maintenance Services’ proportional (matching) share of the paydown amount.

Facilities Maintenance Services Fund
The Facilities Maintenance Services Fund provides a source of funding for maintenance and repairs of City facilities. As discussed above in the Unfunded Pension Liability Paydown section, pension paydowns sourced from the General Fund are planned in FY 2025/26. A budget amendment of $38,332 is being proposed to provide Facilities Maintenance Services’ proportional (matching) share of the

paydown amount.

Pension/Other-Post Employment Benefits Obligation Fund (“BSF”) The BSF will be the recipient of the fair-share contributions toward the pension paydowns from non-General Fund sources in the amount of $909,143. The proposed expenditure budget amendment of $1,509,143 is to allow for this fund to then make the recommended pension paydown as discussed above in the Unfunded Pension Liability Paydown section, made up of $600,000 from the set-aside and fair share contribution from non-General Fund funds of $909,143.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.3
01/27/2026
SUBJECT: Authorizing the Execution of Agreements and Necessary Documents for Ongoing and/or Recurring Purchases with
Specified Vendors for Fiscal Year 2025/26
DEPARTMENT: Finance and Information Systems
STAFF: Christine Andrews, Acting Director of Finance and Information Systems
Michelle Inglis, Management Analyst II

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a joint Resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager or City Attorney and Executive Director or General Counsel, or designees, as appropriate, to execute certain agreements, amendments, purchase orders and/or change orders that have anticipated spending over $50,000 (City Manager and Executive Director) and $75,000 (City Attorney and General Counsel, limited to legal services and personnel investigative services) for Fiscal Year 2025/26, after consideration of approval as to form by the City Attorney or General Counsel.

FISCAL IMPACT
This action does not amend the budget. Amounts listed within Exhibit “A” to the Resolution (Exhibit “A”) can only be expended if included within the adopted Fiscal Year 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program Budget or the Fiscal Year 2024/25 – 2025/26 Operating Budget.

BACKGROUND
In non-emergency situations, City Council/Successor Agency Board approval is required for purchases of goods and/or services over $50,000, and in limited circumstances over $75,000, in a Fiscal Year. Section 12.2 of Council/Administrative Policy No. 10-7 (“Purchasing Policy”) streamlines the approval process by allowing staff to request approval for multiple vendors in a single staff report. This request is only made twice per year, in January and June, for ongoing or recurring purchases, as well as services from outside attorneys and law firms. This aggregated report reduces the number of staff reports that would otherwise be required to be approved by the City Council/Successor Agency Board for each individual vendor. Staff have

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.3
01/27/2026
provided updated, estimated not-to-exceed amounts per vendor for the Fiscal Year in Exhibit “A”.

Some of the vendors are utilized Citywide for various needs, such as office supplies and hardware, building and electrical supplies, while others are utilized by a few departments or a single department. The vendors have been included in Exhibit “A” for the City Council/Successor Agency Board to consider approval of the updated, estimated dollar amount to be spent in Fiscal Year 2025/26. As the items within Exhibit “A” include “not-to-exceed” amounts based on staff’s projections for the year, funds might not be expended in their entirety.

In order to comply with the Purchasing Policy and to reduce the number of staff reports that would be required to be approved by the City Council or Successor Agency Board for each vendor, City staff have reviewed the list previously approved by the City Council and the Successor Agency Board on July 1, 2025, and determined that adjustments are necessary, as additional goods and/or services are required for the remainder of the Fiscal Year compared to the previously approved request.

The new vendors requested are listed in detail in Exhibit “A”:

1. Jet Mulch, Inc.: The Parks and Recreation Department submitted Jet Mulch, Inc., for landscape and playground bark material and services for the notto-exceed amount of $75,000. Fiscal year to date, the Public Works Department has expended $21,718 with Jet Mulch, Inc., and does not anticipate further spending. The combined not-to-exceed amount is $96,718 for Fiscal Year 2025/26.

2. Koffler Electrical Mechanical Apparatus Repair, Inc.: The Public Works Department submitted Koffler Electrical Mechanical Apparatus Repair, Inc., for on-call service and repair of electric motors for the not-to-exceed amount of $60,000 for Fiscal Year 2025/26.

3. National Aquatic Services, Inc.: The Parks and Recreation Department submitted National Aquatic Services, Inc., for pool chemicals, supplies, and repair services for the not-to-exceed amount of $67,257 for Fiscal Year 2025/26.

4. R3 Consulting Group, Inc.: The Public Works Department submitted Amendment No. One with R3 Consulting Group, Inc., for consulting services related to AB 1826, regarding recycling of organic waste, increasing the not-to-exceed amount from $45,000 to $75,000 for FY 2025/26.

5. TRB and Associates: The Community Development Department submitted Amendment No. One with TRB and Associates for building inspection and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.3
01/27/2026
plan review services to increase the not-to-exceed amount from $50,000 to $75,000 for FY 2025/26.

6. Vitisystems, Inc., dba Caltest Analytical Laboratory: The Public Works Department submitted Amendment No. One with Vitisystems, Inc., dba Caltest Analytical Laboratory, for the Wastewater Treatment Plant and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System testing, sampling, and analysis for regulatory compliance increasing the not-to-exceed amount from $50,000 to $100,000 for FY 2025/26.

This agenda item does not amend the operating budget; rather, it authorizes the spending of the existing budget with the vendors and suppliers for the services and goods documented in this report.

Agreements and amendments are not attached to this report. Execution by the City Manager/Executive Director will occur following review and consideration of approval as to form by the City Attorney or General Counsel. City Council adoption of the Resolution will authorize the execution of all required agreements, amendments, purchase orders and/or change orders related to the items in Exhibit “A”.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.4
01/27/2026
SUBJECT: Update on the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and Downtown Brentwood Coalition
DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office
STAFF: G. Harold Duffey, City Manager
Ricardo Noguera, Economic Development Manager
Abraham Salinas, Senior Management Analyst

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION

1. Receive update on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Downtown Brentwood Coalition (DBC) for fiscal years 2024/25 and 2025/26 for downtown programming and management services, including but not limited to administration of the DBC, operations, fund development, and former Women’s Club building renovations; and

2. Direct staff to develop and return to Council with new MOU to continue partnership with the DBC for fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this update. The FY 2025/26 cost of $80,000 for the MOU between the City and DBC is included in the FY 2025/26 General Fund Operating Budget.

BACKGROUND
Downtown Brentwood continues to serve as a dynamic and thriving hub for community gatherings, small business activity, and diverse arts and cultural events throughout the year.

A key contributor to this ongoing success is the City’s partnership with the Downtown Brentwood Coalition (DBC), a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization. In July 2024, the City entered into a new MOU with the DBC to continue joint efforts that sustain high tenant occupancy, new business launches, increased foot traffic, and strong event attendance. The current MOU remains in effect through June 2026 and outlines key areas of collaboration, including administration, programming, and fund development, all of which are being successfully implemented. As further detailed

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.4
01/27/2026
below, the DBC has also made significant progress on the renovation of the former Women’s Club Building, a major deliverable under the MOU.

During the remainder of FY 2024–25, the DBC achieved several milestones, including:
 strengthened downtown vitality through expanded business support, community programming, and facility improvements;
 fulfilment of all quarterly reporting requirements under the City’s MOU;  the hiring of Executive Director Kristen Mingus in April 2025;  the initiation of its transition from a 501(c)(6) to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit; and  growth in membership from 86 to 97 members, reflecting broader engagement with local businesses and community organizations.

Throughout the year, the DBC provided direct support to downtown merchants, relaunched the ‘Downtown Shines’ cleanup initiative in partnership with Working Wonders, and collaborated with City staff on policy discussions related to planning, community enrichment, and public infrastructure. Community engagement remained robust, with signature events such as Oktoberfest, Winter Wine Walk, Crab Feed, Bestie Bash, MamaPalooza, and Bags & Brews attracting thousands of visitors and driving measurable increases in downtown activity and business sales.

The Women’s Club Building renovation advanced substantially, including new flooring, landscaping, and ADA improvements, with the plans for the facility to serve as a Downtown Information Center.

Looking ahead, the DBC’s priorities include ensuring financial sustainability during its nonprofit transition, expanding sponsorship opportunities for major events, and maintaining organizational capacity as programs and membership continue to grow.

Potential challenges include balancing event costs, sustaining volunteer support, and addressing the impacts of future downtown infrastructure projects.

A detailed quarterly report summarizing the DBC’s FY 2024–25 activities, accomplishments, and milestones is attached.

CA\Agreements|2024/009.1
1 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

BETWEEN

DOWNTOWN BRENTWOOD COALITION

AND THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is entered this ____ day of _____________ 2024, and effective on July 1, 2024 (“Effective Date”), by and between the City of Brentwood, a municipal corporation of the State of California ("City"), and Downtown Brentwood Coalition, a 501(c)(6) non-profit corporation in the State of California (“Coalition" or “DBC”) (each a Party, and collectively, the “Parties”) for delivery and administration of services including but not limited to the downtown area and downtown events promotion, destination tourism, and Coalition membership management.

RECITALS
A. The Parties have been partnering together since at least 2021, when they entered into their first MOU, to boost essential services that foster the City’s downtown vitality and growth. And, the Parties are entering into this MOU to memorialize each of their rights and obligations, as more specifically identified in the Scope of Services, attached as Exhibit “A.”
B. Downtown Brentwood is the historical commercial and entertainment-focused heart of Brentwood, comprising of the areas generally defined by the City of Brentwood Downtown Specific Plan, and incorporating surrounding commercial development areas and residential neighborhoods that support the economic and cultural vibrancy of the community. (See Downtown Specific Plan Area attached as Exhibit “B,” referred to throughout as “Downtown Brentwood” or “Downtown”).

C. Since 2008, the Coalition, representing a group of Downtown business owners, began the process of advancing Downtown Brentwood as a destination, including promoting the identity and brand of the Downtown area, promoting Downtown’s key attributes, and its members. The Coalition’s membership boundaries are outlined in red on the map attached and incorporated, as Exhibit “C.” D. On July 09, 2013, the Coalition became a mutual benefit corporation with the State of California for the purpose of enhancing economic growth of the Downtown area by focusing on education, promotion, and development of the business community, and those areas of the community affecting businesses.

E. In March 2024, Downtown Brentwood was designated as a Main Street America Accredited Member, which includes meeting rigorous national program performance standards and achieving meaningful revitalization for Downtown.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by the Parties as follows:

1. Responsibilities of the Coalition. Along with the terms and conditions of this MOU, the Coalition agrees to be responsible for and complete those items set forth in the attached Exhibit “A,” Scope of Services, which is incorporated into the MOU by this reference. 









 

 


 

CA\Agreements|2024/009.1
2 2. Relationship of the Parties. The Coalition is free from the control and direction of the City, in pursuit of the Coalition’s independent calling, and not as an employee of the City. It is understood that this is a MOU by and between independent contractors and is not intended to, and will not be construed to, create the relationship of agent, servant, employee, partnership, joint venture or association, or any other relationship whatsoever other than that of independent contractor. Any persons used or hired by the Coalition to provide services under this MOU will not be considered employees of City for any purposes whatsoever.

3. Term. This MOU will commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to this MOU, will terminate June 30, 2026.

4. Payment. For the term of this MOU, the City Council will provide payments as more explicitly outlined in Exhibit “A” in an amount not to exceed $160,000. The Coalition will be responsible for any additional programs, activities, and services not identified in this MOU, or as provided for in Exhibit “A”. The Coalition will invoice City quarterly for the services identified in Exhibit “A”.

5. Indemnity. Coalition will hold harmless, defend and indemnify City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, costs or liability including attorney fees arising out of or in any way connected with the performance of this MOU, caused in whole or in part by any act or omission of the Coalition, any of its subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, except to the extent caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of City.

6. Insurance. Coalition will obtain and maintain, at its cost and expense, for the duration of the MOU and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the Services by Coalition or Coalition’s agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. The insurance carrier is required to have a current Best's Key Rating of not less than "A:VII." This Section 6 will survive the expiration of this MOU.

6.1 Coverages and Limits. Coalition will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless Risk Manager or City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Coalition's indemnification obligations under this MOU. City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Coalition pursuant to this MOU are adequate to protect Coalition. The coverage will contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to the above-designated insureds except for Workers Compensation and errors and omissions insurance.

Coalition will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be written as claimsmade coverage. If Coalition believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Coalition will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Coalition deems adequate, at Coalition's sole expense.

Organizational Rebranding and
Marketing Strategy
2025 Launch of Our New Website! 2025 Launch of Our New Website! 2025 marked a major step in our rebranding journey. We rolled out a fresh, modern website that brings the spirit of Downtown Brentwood to life highlighting our businesses, events, and local charm in a more engaging and accessible way.

The new platform makes everything more visible and user friendly, showcasing our downtown businesses in a clearer, easier-to-find format that helps residents and visitors connect with all our community has to offer.

2025 was a year of major transformation, sustainable growth, and renewed purpose for the Downtown Brentwood Coalition. It was a year that challenged us, strengthened us, and ultimately made us a more versatile, dynamic organization for our community.

Leadership & Resilience
This year brought significant leadership changes. After several months without an Executive Director, our Board stepped up, leaning on each other and our community to keep our mission moving forward. In April, we welcomed our new Executive Director, who hit the ground running and has already helped propel DBC into its next chapter.

A Modernized Digital Presence

• We supported additional street-cleaning efforts to maintain a vibrant city center. • Our Board personally manages the American flags displayed downtown, ironing, installing, and taking them down for major holidays and patriotic celebrations throughout the year.

Accessibility & Business Support
In partnership with the City, we began work to help ensure every downtown business becomes ADA compliant an ongoing project that reflects our commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and long term community health.

Youth Engagement & Community Building
One of our greatest highlights was the growing involvement of local youth. In 2025, we partnered with high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools as well as swim teams, baseball and lacrosse teams, choir groups, cheer squads, and more. Their participation brought energy to our events and helped teach the next generation the value of community service, leadership, and giving back.

Looking Ahead
With bold vision, strong leadership, and a renewed foundation, the Downtown Brentwood Coalition is excited to continue serving our community. The progress made in 2025 laid the groundwork for sustainable growth, deeper partnerships, and a more connected downtown. As we look to 2026, expanding collaboration with the agricultural community is a key focus, and we are energized by what lies ahead.
