15.1 Glossary: Except as otherwise provided in this policy, whenever the words defined or described in the Glossary attached to this policy are used in this policy, they shall have the same meaning attributed to them in the Glossary. However if there is a conflict between a definition contained in the Glossary and a definition of those same words in Sections 53600 et. seq. of the Government Code, the definition in the Government Code shall govern.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
ACCRUED INTEREST: Interest that is due on a bond or other fixed income security since the last interest payment was made. This often occurs for bonds purchased on the secondary market, since bonds usually pay interest every six months, but the interest is accrued by the bondholders on a day-to-day basis. When a bond is sold, the buyer pays the seller the market price plus the accrued interest, for which the buyer will be reimbursed when the issuer next pays interest.
Accrued interest is calculated on a 30-day month/360-day year for corporate bonds and municipal bonds, and on actual-calendar-days for Government bonds. Income bonds and bonds in default trade without accrued interest. When calculating accrued interest on a bond that is being sold, it is conventional to consider the time period from the most recent payment up to, but not including, the date on which the bond sale is settled.
AGENCIES: Federal agency securities and/or Government-sponsored enterprises.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES: Bonds created from various types of consumer debt. Returns on these securities come from customer payments on their outstanding loans. The primary types of asset-backed securities are mortgages, home equity loans, auto loans, leases, credit card receivables and student loans.
BANKERS’ ACCEPTANCE: A draft or bill or exchange accepted by a bank or trust company.
The accepting institution guarantees payment of the bill, as well as the insurer.
BOND: A certificate of debt that is issued by a government or corporation in order to raise money with a promise to pay a specified sum of money at a fixed time in the future and carrying interest at a fixed rate. Generally, a bond is a promise to repay the principal along with interest (coupons) on a specified date (maturity). The main types of bonds are corporate bond, municipal bond, treasury bond, treasury note, treasury bill, and zero-coupon bond. It is a tradable debt instrument that might be sold at, above or below par (the amount paid out at maturity), and are rated by bond rating services such as S&P Global and Moody's Investors Service, to specify likelihood of default. The Federal government, states, cities, corporations, and many other types of institutions sell bonds. It is relatively more secured than equity and has priority over shareholders if the company becomes insolvent and its assets are distributed.

between bid and asked prices is narrow and sales of reasonable size can be done at those quotes.
MARKET VALUE: The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or sold.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES: Securities that can be easily converted into cash. Such securities will generally have highly liquid markets allowing the security to be sold at a reasonable price very quickly.

MOODY’S: One of the most prominent credit rating agencies in the U.S.
MUTUAL FUNDS: An open-ended fund operated by an investment company which raises money from shareholders and invests in a group of assets, in accordance with a stated set of objectives. Mutual funds raise money by selling shares of the fund to the public, much like any other type of company can sell stock in itself to the public. Mutual funds then take the money they receive from the sale of their shares (along with any money made from previous investments) and use it to purchase various investment vehicles, such as stocks, bonds and money market instruments. In return for the money they give to the fund when purchasing shares, shareholders receive an equity position in the fund and, in effect, in each of its underlying securities. For most mutual funds, shareholders are free to sell their shares at any time, although the price of a share in a mutual fund will fluctuate daily.

Negotiable certificates of deposit are usually in bearer form, and have secondary markets that are highly liquid.
NRSRO: Nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
PAR VALUE: The nominal dollar amount assigned to a security by the issuer. For an equity security, par value is usually a very small amount that bears no relationship to its market price, except for preferred stock, in which case par value is used to calculate dividend payments. For a debt security, par value is the amount repaid to the investor when the bond matures (usually, corporate bonds have a par value of $1,000, municipal bonds $5,000, and federal bonds $10,000). In the secondary market, a bond's price fluctuates with interest rates. If interest rates are higher than the coupon rate on a bond, the bond will be sold below par value (at a "discount").
If interest rates have fallen, the bond will be sold above par value.
PASS THROUGH SECURITY: A security representing pooled debt obligations that passes income from debtors to its shareholders. The most common type is the mortgage-backed certificate.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.4
06/09/2026
SUBJECT: GANN Limit
DEPARTMENT: Finance and Information Systems
STAFF: Kerry Breen, Director of Finance and Information Systems Sonia Agostini, Accounting Manager
Clarissa Domen, Accountant II
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution establishing the City’s 2026/27 Proposition 4 (1979) Appropriations Limit, commonly referred to as the GANN Limit, using the State per capita income growth of 4.95% as the cost-of-living factor and the decrease in the County population factor of 0.310% to calculate the Limit.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
BACKGROUND
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, more commonly referred to as the GANN Initiative, was approved via Proposition 4 by California voters on November 6, 1979. The goal of the GANN Limit (“Limit”) was to slow the expenditure growth of governments in California. Under the Limit, a maximum cap was established for the amount of proceeds of taxes that state and local governmental agencies can appropriate each fiscal year. That cap was to be adjusted each year depending on changes in population and inflation. The Limit does not apply to enterprise funds or bond issues. The City is legally required to adopt a Limit prior to each fiscal year.
The Limit represents a cap on City expenditures that are funded by proceeds of taxes.
Since the General Fund is the primary recipient of tax revenue, an estimate of the City expenditures funded by taxes can be calculated by summing all tax revenue (property tax, sales tax, etc.) that the General Fund receives. The sum of these taxes is then compared to the Limit, and the City would not be permitted to receive and spend tax revenues in excess of the Limit amount.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.4
06/09/2026
The Limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1986/87 fiscal year and is increased each year using the growth of population and inflation. In June 1990, the voters approved Proposition 111, which provided new adjustment formulas making the Limit more responsive to local growth issues by using a change in State per capita income or a change in non-residential new construction instead of inflation. The annual adjustment made to the Limit is based on a formula which includes the following factors:
Change in City
population
or Change in population for
the entire County
AND
Change in State per
capita income
or Change in non-residential
new construction
Typically, agencies select the combination of factors which result in the largest growth in the Limit. For the calculation of the 2026/27 Limit, the percentage change in the County’s population, with a decrease of 0.310% is used because it is less of a decrease as compared to the change in the City’s population decrease of 0.395%. Updated population estimates have been provided by the California Department of Finance.
Article XIIIB specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost-of-living factor to compute their Appropriation Limit by vote of their governing body. The two allowable factors are the change in State per capita income, which was an increase of 4.95%, and the change in non-residential new construction as a percentage of the total taxable value increase of the City, which was an increase of 3.94%. The cost-of-living factor used for the 2026/27 calculation is the change in State per capita income as it provides for a greater Limit. Using the percentage change in State per capita income and the percentage change in County population generates the following 2026/27 Appropriation Limit:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.4
06/09/2026
The FY 2026/27 appropriations subject to the Limit, based on the draft FY 2026/27 Operating Budget presented at the May 23rd City Council Workshop, totaled $76,170,550, which is substantially below the calculated FY2026/27 Limit of $132,380,514.
CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE
Not Applicable.
PREVIOUS ACTION
Previous action by the City Council is included in Attachment 1.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The recommended action is not a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act because it is an administrative fiscal action that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
1. Request staff return with additional information.
2. Do not approve a 2026/27 appropriations Limit. The Limit would not be available for review during the annual financial audit as required by Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution.

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution adopting a List of Projects for submittal to the California Transportation Commission (“Commission”) for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2026/27 funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT
This action does not have any fiscal impact at this time. It is a requirement to maintain the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (“RMRA”) funding source for the City of Brentwood (“City”).
RMRA and the General Fund are the funding sources for the Pavement Management Program – 2027 Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) Project.
BACKGROUND
In 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”) known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. To address basic road maintenance, SB 1 increased per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees.
Beginning in November of 2017, the State Controller deposited portions of this new funding into the newly created RMRA. A percentage of this funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to the Streets and Highways Code for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.
To receive an apportionment of RMRA funds from the State Controller, the City must annually submit to the Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with RMRA

funds. This list requires approval by the City Council and all proposed projects listed must be included in the City’s budget adopted by the City Council.
The City is expecting to receive an estimated $1,844,000 in RMRA Funding in FY 2026/27.
At this time, the following project will be included in the list submitted to the Commission for RMRA Projects:
Pavement Management Program – 2027 (“Project”):
Crack seal and slurry seal various locations depending on current needs; and Grind and overlay: Balfour Rd east of Summerset Dr; Cortona Way north of Balfour Rd; Eagle Rock Way south of Balfour Rd; Balfour from Minnesota Ave to Griffith Ln
and
Repair of asphalt/manholes at various locations.
It is anticipated that this Project will begin construction in May of 2027 and be completed in August of 2027. It will be funded in part with RMRA funds. The various treatments have an estimated useful life of 7 to 12 years.
As the purpose of this list is to maintain the City’s eligibility process, it does not limit the ability to update it at any time. As uses for the RMRA funds are determined, this list can be modified to better meet the City’s needs.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.6
06/09/2026
SUBJECT: Second reading of text amendments to the Brentwood Municipal Code related to restaurants including those with the sale of alcohol for on-premise consumption
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
STAFF: Alexis Morris, Director of Community Development Erik Nolthenius, Planning Manager
Jennifer Hagen, Principal Planner
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1097 amending Title 17 of the Brentwood Municipal Code (RZ 26-002) by adding Chapter 17.695 (Restaurants with On-Premise Alcohol Sales), establish development standards for on-premise alcohol sales, and amend land use classifications for restaurants (with or without the sale of alcohol) citywide, except within the Downtown Specific Plan, the PA-1 Specific Plan Area (Innovation Center), and PD-6.
The proposed text amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that the proposed ordinance would not authorize or facilitate new construction or other groundbreaking activities.

Any future project subject to updated zoning provisions would undergo appropriate CEQA review prior to approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the proposed ordinances and resolution will not result in a fiscal impact, as staff will continue to process appropriate planning applications through designated review processes, which include the collection of fees for the cost of these processes, in accordance with the City’s Cost Allocation Plan.

17.695 (RESTAURANTS WITH ON-PREMISES ALCOHOL SALES),
ESTABLISH DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR RESTAURANTS
WITH ON-PREMISES ALCOHOL SALES, AND AMEND LAND USE
CLASSIFICATIONS FOR RESTAURANTS (WITH OR WITHOUT THE
SALE OF ALCOHOL) CITYWIDE
WHEREAS, City staff prepared a zoning text amendment that would provide consistent regulations and development standards for restaurants in the City that sell alcohol for consumption on the premises as an accessory use to food service (the “Ordinance”); and
WHEREAS, bars, lounges, tasting rooms, taprooms, breweries, wineries, nightclubs, and similar alcohol-primary uses are separately classified and regulated under the Brentwood Municipal Code, and this Ordinance is not intended to alter the City’s existing conditional use permit requirements for those uses; and WHEREAS, the Ordinance would amend Title 17 (Zoning) of the Brentwood Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Brentwood Municipal Code allows on- and off-sale alcohol sales but does not contain citywide standards regulating restaurants with on-premises alcohol sales. Instead, the regulations applicable to restaurants with on-premises alcohol sales vary by location and applications are often considered on a case-bycase basis through the conditional use permit process; and WHEREAS, the introduction of citywide standards for restaurants with onpremises alcohol sales will help reduce applicant uncertainty and foster a businessfriendly environment in Brentwood while also protecting the health and safety of the community; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed amendment to the Brentwood Municipal Code, has found that the proposed Ordinance is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan, and recommends that the City Council adopt the Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, on March 27, 2026, the City gave public notice of a Planning Commission public hearing to consider this Ordinance by advertisement in the Brentwood Press, a newspaper of general circulation; and WHEREAS, on April 21, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing to consider the Ordinance, the staff report, the recommendation by staff, and public testimony concerning this Ordinance.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated into this Ordinance as though fully set forth herein.
SECTION 2. CEQA. Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, this project is exempt in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, as the proposed Ordinance would not authorize or facilitate construction or groundbreaking activities, and any future project subject to the Ordinance would undergo appropriate CEQA review prior to approval.
SECTION 3. Rezoning. Brentwood Municipal Code Section 17.870.008 provides:
No rezoning of property or text amendment shall occur which is inconsistent with the city’s community development plan. In making a decision, the Planning Commission and Council shall consider the consistency of the proposed action to the community development plan and other applicable city plans, and shall consider whether the proposed action is inappropriate or otherwise contrary to the public interest.
The zoning text amendments set forth in Exhibits A and B are consistent with the General Plan, as amended from time to time, insofar as they are responsive to the changing needs of the residents and community. Specifically, as it applies to restaurants with on-premises alcohol sales, the Ordinance is consistent with Brentwood General Plan Economic Development Policy ED 1-3, which is intended to strengthen the reputation of City government as serviceoriented and business-friendly. The Ordinance also meets Land Use Policy LU 2-2 by requiring restaurants with on-premises alcohol sales at the interface of
residential land use designations to be designed to ensure compatibility between the uses and to reduce any potential negative impacts associated with aesthetics, noise, and safety. The City Council finds that the Ordinance is appropriate and is not contrary to the public interest in that it will encourage investment in Brentwood while protecting both the City’s residents and residential neighborhoods.
SECTION 4. Amendment. Specified sections, or portions of sections, of Title 17 of the Brentwood Municipal Code are hereby amended, as shown in Exhibit A and B, attached hereto and incorporated herein, as follows:
Exhibit A: Title 17 of the Brentwood Municipal Code (Zoning) is hereby amended to add Chapter 17.695 (Restaurants with OnPremises Alcohol Sales), which would add development standards related to restaurants with on-premises alcohol sales citywide except within the areas defined as the Downtown Specific Plan, the PA-1 Specific Plan (Innovation Center), and PD-6, as provided in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein.

Revisions to existing sections are reflected in strikethrough for deletions and underline for additions.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Senior Mechanic Classification, Job Description, Salary Range, and Related Pay Schedule Amendment
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
STAFF: Teresa Fairbanks, Interim Director of Human Resources/ Risk Manager
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution: (1) approving the establishment of the Senior Mechanic classification, job description, and salary range; (2) approving an amendment to the 2025/2026 Pay Schedule in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5, to include the Senior Mechanic salary range; (3) authorizing the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, to make ministerial revisions to the 2025/2026 Pay Schedule to include the Senior Mechanic salary range and ensure consistency with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5; and (4) authorizing the City Manager or designee to take all necessary administrative actions to implement the Senior Mechanic classification.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution. The recommended action will accurately reflect the scope of work for the Senior Mechanic classification, ensure equitable compensation, and support implementation of the proposed classification.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated annual cost of salaries and benefits for the new Senior Mechanic position in fiscal year 2026/27 is $168,000. The new position and associated costs were included in the draft 2026/27 – 2027/28 Fleet Maintenance Fund Operating Budget presented at the May 26, 2026 Operating Budget workshop. The position cost will be funded by transfers from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. The 2026/27 – 2027/28 Operating Budget will presented to the City Council for consideration of adoption at the June 23, 2026 City Council meeting.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.7
06/09/2026
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department has identified a need to establish an additional classification to support the City’s growing fleet operations. In recent years, the City’s fleet inventory has expanded significantly due to increased service demands, operational growth, and the addition of specialized vehicles and equipment used across multiple departments. This includes a broader range of light-duty vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, and specialized equipment—particularly high-use assets such as garbage trucks—that require consistent maintenance, inspection, and repair to ensure safe and efficient operations.
On November 8, 2022, the City Council approved and authorized the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Koff & Associates to conduct a comprehensive Classification and Compensation Study. As part of this effort, the consultant, in collaboration with City staff and bargaining group representatives, completed a thorough review of the City’s existing classification system, including an analysis of the work performed by employees and an assessment of the City’s operational needs moving forward. Subsequently, on May 13, 2025, the City Council approved and authorized the City Manager to abolish 16 obsolete classifications, job descriptions, and salary ranges, including the Senior Equipment Mechanic classification. The abolishment of this classification was based on the findings of the study, which indicated that the duties at the time could be more appropriately absorbed within the existing Fleet Supervisor classification and that the standalone classification was not necessary given the organization’s needs at that time.
Since the completion of the study, the City’s fleet operations have continued to evolve. Increased service demands, the expansion of the fleet, and the growing complexity of maintenance activities have highlighted the need for a higher-level, lead classification to provide technical oversight and coordination. As a result, further review by Public Works and Human Resources determined that establishing the proposed Senior Mechanic classification is necessary to maintain efficiency, ensure quality control, and support the division’s workload and operational needs.
In collaboration with the Public Works Department, the Human Resources Department conducted a comprehensive review of the current body of work, operational needs, and service demands. Based on this analysis, staff developed the proposed Senior Mechanic classification, including the job description and salary range, to better align resources with the complexity and volume of fleet maintenance activities.
The creation of a Senior Mechanic position will enhance operational efficiency by providing an experienced mechanic with responsibility for daily technical coordination, lead direction, and monitoring work quality. In addition, establishing this classification creates a clear promotional ladder within the Mechanic series with
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.7
06/09/2026
a defined pathway for career advancement and professional growth. This supports employee retention, incentivizes skill development, and strengthens succession planning within the division. Collectively, the classification supports workforce development while ensuring continuity of operations and the consistent delivery of high-quality service.
Based on the proposed duties and responsibilities, the Senior Mechanic classification is consistent with classifications represented by the Brentwood Employees’ Association/Public Works Division (BEAPWD) and BEAPWD previously represented the Senior Equipment Mechanic classification, which was responsible for a similar body of work as the proposed Senior Mechanic classification. Accordingly, staff recommends that the Senior Mechanic be assigned to the BEAPWD bargaining unit.
Human Resources has notified BEAPWD representatives of the proposed classification, and the association concurs that placement within the BEAPWD bargaining unit is consistent with the history of BEAPWD representation for similar fleet maintenance classifications.
The proposed salary range for the Senior Mechanic classification has been developed with consideration for internal equity and alignment with the existing Mechanic classification series. Staff recommends approval of the Senior Mechanic classification, including the job description (Exhibit A) and corresponding salary range, as well as an amendment to the Pay Schedule to reflect these changes.
This staff report and all related attachments have been reviewed by the City Attorney and outside legal counsel specializing in employment law. City staff has met and conferred with the Brentwood Employees’ Association/Public Works Division bargaining group over the proposed Senior Mechanic classification, job description, and salary range and the bargaining unit concurs with placing the proposed Senior Mechanic classification within the Brentwood Employees’ Association/Public Works Division bargaining unit.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed action is not a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act because it involves organizational and administrative activities of the City that will not result in direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, no environmental review is required.
ALTERNATIVE OPTION(S)
Staff does not recommend any alternative options because approval of the proposed resolution will allow the City to maintain an updated, well-structured classification system with job descriptions and salary ranges that accurately reflect the scope of work performed and ensure fair, competitive compensation. The City Council may, however, decline to approve the proposed classification or provide alternative direction to staff.

SUBJECT: Informational Report on the First Six Months of the Tobacco Retail License Program
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
STAFF: Alexis Morris, Director of Community Development Kenneth Murphy, Chief Building Official
Linda Shale, Senior Code Enforcement Officer
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file an informational report from staff regarding the status of the first six months of the Tobacco Retail License Program.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item. To date, the City has received $63,000 in Tobacco Retail License (TRL) fees, which are deposited into the General Fund.
BACKGROUND
In the past, the City of Brentwood did not have land use or licensing regulations specific to tobacco retailing; instead, tobacco retailers were typically considered to be general retail uses. Since 2022, the City Council has taken several steps to regulate tobacco retailing in the City to protect public health, safety, and welfare and encourage responsible tobacco retailing. The Council’s past actions include:
On September 27, 2022, the City Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1046, implementing a moratorium on the issuance of any new permit, license, or entitlement for any new tobacco retailers;
On October 25, 2022, the City Council unanimously adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1050, extending the original interim urgency ordinance for a period of 10 months and 15 days;
On August 22, 2023, the City Council directed staff to provide information on potential new tobacco regulations.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.8
06/09/2026
On August 26, 2025, the City Council adopted Brentwood Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 5.76 Tobacco Retailers (“Ordinance”) establishing the TRL Program (“the Program”). The City Council requested that staff provide a status update on the implementation of the first six months of the Program at a future Council meeting.
THE TRL ORDINANCE
The Ordinance became effective on October 9, 2025. The basic requirements of the Program include the following:
There shall be no more than 41 TRLs in the City. (BMC 5.76.080(D)(1)) Tobacco retailers must be located at least 500 feet from a “Youth Oriented Establishment”. (BMC 5.76.080(C))
Tobacco retailers are prohibited from selling certain products, including flavored tobacco products and electronic smoking devices. (BMC 5.76.050, 060)
No-Fee Wind-Down Permit: For the first year of the program only, retailers with prohibited stock are eligible for a no-fee, non-renewable, 12-month “Wind-Down Permit” for the specific purpose of selling off tobacco products/stock that are not in compliance with the new regulations. Without a wind-down permit, a licensee may not sell any prohibited tobacco products in stock under any circumstances and must fully comply with all tobacco retailing regulations. (BMC 5.67.090(C)(1))
Retailers Wind-Down Permit: Tobacco retailers legally operating at the time of adoption of the Ordinance that are denied a license based solely on the limits on eligibility listed in BMC 5.76.080, are eligible for a non-renewable, 12- month Tobacco Retailer’s Wind-Down Permit. Without a wind-down permit, a tobacco retailer that is not licensed by the City may not operate as a tobacco retailer under any circumstances. (BMC 5.76.090(C)(2))
Community Enrichment shall perform at least two compliance checks, and the Police Department shall perform at least one decoy operation on each tobacco retailer per 12-month period (BMC 5.76.160(B)).
The license fee is $1,575, except for the no-fee Wind Down Permits.
BUSINESS OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
Prior to the adoption of the Ordinance, Community Enrichment staff conducted extensive outreach to the business community to make them aware of the possible new tobacco regulations and inform them of City Council hearing dates. After the adoption of the Ordinance, Community Enrichment staff created new application forms, educational materials, and an inspection checklist for the Program (attached).
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.8
06/09/2026
Staff also completed three rounds of outreach/education to potentially affected tobacco retailers, which included:
An email including a copy of the ordinance, the application, and handouts regarding the TRL to the main point of contact for each business; In-person visits to each business to provide a hard copy of the ordinance, application and handouts, review prohibited products, the due date to submit an application, and to provide contact information for Community Enrichment for questions; and,
The issued TRLs and Wind-Down Permits were emailed and a hard copy delivered to each business to ensure they were aware of the need to post the license and to answer any questions.
TRL LICENSES
The Community Enrichment Division began accepting applications for the TRL program on October 10, 2025. A total of 80 license applications were processed, and a total of 78 licenses were issued by October 31, 2025.
Type of License
Application
# of Applications # Licenses Issued
TRL 40 38
No Fee-Wind Down
Permit
38 38
Retailers Wind-Down
Permit
2 2
Total 80 78
Two TRL applications were denied due to proximity to youth-oriented establishments; these retailers were instead issued the Retailers Wind-Down Permit, which are issued to retailers not eligible for a TRL due to not being able to meet Ordinance requirements. Every other applicant received both a TRL and a No Fee Wind-Down permit, which are issued to retailers to sell off stock that is no longer permitted by the Ordinance. One retailer that held a state license when the Ordinance was adopted was no longer selling tobacco and chose not to pursue a TRL or a Wind-Down Permit.
COMPLIANCE MONITORING
Community Enrichment staff conducted compliance checks on all 40 licensees between January 1, 2026, and April 30, 2026. The compliance checks resulted in minor infractions for things such as displays of discounts, flavored products, and window signage. With the Wind-Down permits in effect for only one year, the majority
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.8
06/09/2026
of Community Enrichment’s compliance efforts to date were focused on education related to City-prohibited products.
In addition to Community Enrichment’s compliance checks, the Police Department conducted four decoy operations covering multiple locations. The decoy operations resulted in two TRLs being suspended for 60 days, which is the required time frame for the first violation. One suspension was appealed by the business owner, and the appeal was denied by the City Council on May 12, 2026.
LESSONS LEARNED
Staff has been enforcing the Ordinance for approximately six months and generally finds that the Ordinance as written is meeting its purpose of providing adequate regulation of tobacco retailers within the City. However, staff has found that language in several parts of the ordinance is too broad or too open to interpretation, which can make enforcement more difficult. For example, BMC §5.76.040 (G.1) states that when a license is suspended or revoked, the proprietor “[s]hall keep all tobacco products and tobacco paraphernalia out of public view”. To comply with this, businesses with suspended licenses placed material over displays of tobacco products to cover them, but the products were still on the sales floor. Community Enrichment staff is concerned that leaving the products on the sales floor could lead to sales of the products even if a license is suspended. Staff would prefer that the language be updated to require businesses to remove products from display/the sales floor.
Staff will work with the City Attorney’s office to draft minor revisions to the Ordinance for the purposes of improving clarity and enforceability and will bring these revisions to the City Council for consideration in the future.
NEXT STEPS
The first batch of TRL will expire by October 31, 2026, and Community Enrichment will begin accepting new applications October 1, 2026. Staff anticipates the same number of TRL applications to be submitted in 2026 as were submitted in 2025.
Community Enrichment will continue to conduct a minimum of two compliance checks of licensees and will conduct more frequent checks if required. The Police Department plans on completing at least one more decoy operation at multiple locations by October 31, 2026.
