City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SZ
Council Agenda Item No.: 3
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Rose Hess, Public Works Director
Meeting Date: June 12, 2025
Subject: Approval of Bond Reduction/Release for Palm Community Development
______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
In 2023, the first permit for construction was issued for the Palm Community Polo Village Multi-Family Affordable Apartments Development Project (Buellton Polo Village Partners) located at 560 McMurray Road. The project consists of grading, storm drain, sewer, water and development of an affordable housing site. In addition, off-site improvements were required for improvements for McMurray Road frontage (pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalk, etc.)
As a condition of approval for the development of the site, improvement bonds associated with the development were posted with the City prior to construction. On September 12, 2024, the City Council approved a Bond Reduction (original amount of $2,441,500), with the remaining amount of $1,149,000.

The grading and onsite improvements and off-site/public improvements have progressed to completion. The developer has requested a release of the bond posted. After review by staff and city inspectors, all grading, storm drain, water, sewer and off-site/public improvements are complete and approved. The improvement bonds may be reduced, withholding a 5% retention for a 1-year warranty period. If no issues arise within the 1- year warranty period, the remaining retention amount may be released.

Bond No. Purpose of Bond Current Amount Proposed Amount ES00014920 Development Improvements $1,149,000 $122,075

Bonds for Palm Communities Page 2 June 12, 2025

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the reduction and release of bond for the Palm Community Polo Village MultiFamily Affordable Apartments Development will not cause any fiscal impact to the City.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council accept the public and grading/utility improvements and authorize the reduction of Bond Number ES00014920 in the amount of $1,149,000 to $122,075 and the subsequent release upon a successful 1-year warranty period, for the Development Improvements.

City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SZ
Council Agenda Item No.: 4

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Linda Reid, City Clerk/H.R. Director
Meeting Date: June 12, 2025
Subject: Authorization to Create New Job Classification, Adopt Associated Job Description, and Salary Schedule
_____________________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
Over the past year, it has become increasingly apparent that department heads and the City Manager need assistance with various projects in order to productively carry out requests from the City Council and the public. Staff would like to add a new classification entitled Administrative Analyst and if approved by the City Council, begin recruitment in July 2025. This utility position would be able to help provide assistance with policies and procedures, research and analysis, project and budget management, preparing staff reports/attachments, and performing community outreach and public engagement. Staff believe this new classification would increase efficiency and effectiveness across all departments by providing valuable support for department heads and the City Manager.

Some of the responsibilities of this new position would include facility planning, and management, capital project support, contract administration, emergency preparedness, grant administration, and regulatory compliance. Previously, these tasks were managed by several department heads but as state regulations increase, so do the task requirements associated with these responsibilities and this new position would allow department heads and the City Manager to focus on other pressing issues.

With Council approval, staff proposes to add a new Administrative Analyst classification (Attachment 1), and the position’s salary is reflected in the revised salary schedule (Attachment 2).

FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact for the new classification of Administrative Analyst would be $87,696 - $106,596 annually, plus benefits. This would amount to a total cost between $133,881 and $159,662. This position was discussed and approved during the recent budget workshop and has been added to the newly adopted Biennial Budget, with General Fund allocation of 90% and Water and Wastewater allocation of 5%.

New Employee Classification Page 2 June 12, 2025

City Manager Review: SZ
Council Agenda Item No.: 7
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Rose Hess, Public Works Director
Meeting Date: June 12, 2025
Subject: Resolution No. 25-13 – “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Buellton, California, Regarding the Commitments and Publishing the Report Required by Central Coast Water Authority Resolution Nos. 92-02 and 92-11”
______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
On January 23, 1992, the Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA) Board of Directors approved CCWA Resolution No. 92-2, which formally approved construction of the Mission Hills and Santa Ynez Extensions and associated facilities. Resolution No. 92-2 included the following:
“CCWA adopts the following conditions of approval for the project. With the adoption of these conditions, CCWA finds that the environmental impacts of the project associated with the potential for growth inducement are insignificant:

1. The Santa Ynez Extension and Mission Hills Extension Mitigation Monitoring Program shall be implemented and enforced throughout the project construction and operation, unless modified after appropriate California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review and approval by CCWA.

2. The Santa Maria Valley Water Treatment Plant Mitigation Monitoring Program shall be implemented and enforced through the project construction and operation, unless modified after appropriate CEQA review and approval by CCWA.

3. CCWA shall require each Water Supply Agreement contractor to commit, prior to the contractor’s use of project water, that the water supplied to the contractor by the project will be used first to offset the contractor’s proportionate share of groundwater basin overdraft, if any, and to improve water quality for its customers, if appropriate, before being made available for other purposes. Such a commitment can be manifested in a number of different ways, including but not limited to adoption of an ordinance or resolution or adoption of a water management plan or program which brings groundwater supply and demand into balance.”

Resolution No. 25-13 Page 2 June 12, 2025
On February 27, 1992, the CCWA Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 92-11, which complied with the terms of a Settlement Agreement between CCWA and two local organizations, which had threatened to institute litigation concerning the CCWA’s compliance with CEQA in connection with the project. Resolution No. 92-11 added a new Condition #4 to the above-stated three conditions of approval:

4. “Each contractor shall commit to prepare and shall publish a report on its annual and long-term water supply, beginning in the year that State Water Project (SWP) water first is delivered and annually thereafter for so long as the contractor continues to receive SWP water. This report shall include a calculation which quantifies, over the time period of the contractor’s water management plan or the report, whichever is longer: (1) the obligation to offset groundwater overdraft and improve water quality, if any, set forth in the prior condition; and (2) reasonable estimates of total supplies available to the contractor, including but not limited to local supplies and the contractor’s prediction regarding SWP urban delivery capacity, determined from State Department of Water Resources (DWR) operations studies. The report shall also include a calculation of the available water supply for the ensuing year and the amount of SWP water necessary to fulfill the contractor’s obligations as set forth in Condition

3. The report contains sufficient information to monitor compliance with Condition No. 3 above. This report shall be presented for adoption to the contractor’s Board of Directors at a public hearing. The report shall be distributed at local libraries and at each contractor’s office and shall be available for public review at least 30 days prior to the Board hearing”.

Condition No. 3 requires that a commitment be made with regard to use of SWP water.

Condition No. 4 requires that annual reports be prepared concerning certain matters relating to water supply and demand, beginning with the year that SWP water first is delivered and thereafter for so long as SWP water is received.

In view of the above requirements, we have prepared the appropriate Resolution, which complies with the requirements of said Condition Nos. 3 and No. 4. Resolution No. 25-13 adopts the annual report (attached as Exhibit “A”), regarding the City’s long term water supply.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to the City will be the publication costs of the annual report and the staff time required to prepare said report.

ANNUAL WATER SUPPLY REPORT
June 2025
Prepared by:

Rose Hess
Director of Public Works

City of Buellton Water Supply Report 2025 1

1.0 Introduction
The City of Buellton’s water is supplied by groundwater and supplemented by State Water Project. The Groundwater is supplied from the Buellton Uplands Groundwater Basin and the Santa Ynez River Underflow.

The groundwater sources are shown in Figure 1 (identified as Zone D and Zone A).

Figure 1. Groundwater Basins
The City currently has four (4) wells as part of the water supply system: three (3) shallow wells in the Santa Ynez Underflow and one (1) in the Buellton Uplands. The City also has two additional wells, located in the Santa Ynez Underflow. However, both wells are used solely for irrigation purposes for the Zaca Creek Golf Course and for hillside/field irrigation at the “Willemsen Ranch”.

City of Buellton Water Supply Report 2025 2
The City is also a participant of the State Water Project through the Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA).

CCWA owns and operates water treatment facilities and pipeline that delivers water from the State Water Project to the project participants in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. Buellton has one (1) turn-out from the CCWA pipeline that delivers water directly to the City’s distribution system. Figure 2 provides a general exhibit of the State Water line.

Figure 2. State Water Project

City of Buellton Water Supply Report 2025 3

2.0 Production
The City has two water treatment facilities. The McMurray Water Treatment Plant treats water pumped from the three wells in the Santa Ynez River Underflow. The City’s permit to draw from the Santa Ynez River Underflow is currently 1385 acre-feet per year. The City’s 246 Water Treatment Plant treats water pumped from one well in the Buellton Uplands. There are currently no permit restrictions on pumping from the Buellton Uplands. During normal and wet years, the primary wells utilized are in the Santa Ynez River Underflow. During dry/drought years, the primary well utilized is in the Buellton Uplands. Table 1 shows the total production for each source for the 2024 calendar year.

The City’s State Water Project allocation is 578 acre-feet. In February 2024, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) notified its contractors that the initial deliveries would be 15% of the allocation. Several additional notifications followed, with the final notification made in April 2024 increasing deliveries to 40% of its allocations.

In 2024, the City produced 889 acre-feet of water (approximately 289,681,920 gallons) from its groundwater supply. Total water supply produced/received in 2024 (total groundwater plus State Water Project) was 1138.8 acre-feet (approximately 371,079,607 gallons).

With the 2024 population of 5090, the water produced on an average daily basis was 199 gallons/day/capita. It is important to note that this figure reflects total water use/production and cannot be reasonably compared to other agencies daily per capita rates. The City of Buellton has unique conditions where the actual residential vs commercial/industrial water use is approximately 50-50.

3.0 Supply
The City of Buellton’s water is supplied by Groundwater and supplemented by State Water Project. The City’s groundwater basins are informally managed by the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District. Formed in 1939 for the primary purpose of protecting water rights on the lower Santa Ynez River, the District has overseen the groundwater basins from Santa Ynez to Lompoc (as shown in Figure 1, page 1). The District provides an annual report summarizing the groundwater production and charges and a status of groundwater and surface water supplies.

In March 2025, the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District published its 47th Engineering and Survey Report on Water Supply Conditions. This report summarizes the conditions of supply and basin storage, particularly during Spring which provides the best direct indication of the groundwater conditions during the past year. The report summarizes that the Buellton Upland basin showed a slight increase in storage in the past year, however the forecast for the next year anticipates a decrease. The conditions in the Santa Ynez River Alluvium (Santa Ynez River Underflow) showed a slight decrease in storage in the past year. Due to the relatively normal conditions with the rain season, no water rights releases occurred in 2024 from Lake Cachuma to provide replenishment.

During normal conditions, both groundwater supply sources are in good condition and for planning purposes are equally utilized for production of water. Table 2 provides a summary of water supply reasonably available to the City during the Fiscal Year 2024 and for a cumulative long term period (5 years). Operationally, the City utilizes one of the two groundwater sources as the primary resource based on needs and efficiency. Due to permitting rights, the primary wells the City utilizes are in the Santa Ynez River Underflow during normal and wet years. However, during dry/drought years, the primary well utilized is in the Buellton Uplands.

The City also utilizes State Water Project as part of its water supply. Buellton’s State Water Project allocation is 578 acre-feet, but is subject to availability by the State. The City may utilize State Water Project water in lieu of (or in addition to) pumping from the Santa Ynez River Underflow or the Buellton Uplands. At this time, State Project Water is used to supplement the City’s peak water demands or if any of the City’s water facilities is under repair.

Water Supply Limitations
While the supply discussed above appears adequate, there are several factors that greatly impact the realistic availability of supply. These include: Weather, facility operations, and demand requirements. It is obvious during periods of drought, that the groundwater supply (including State Water Project) has the potential for overdraft and minimizing the availability of groundwater. We have also experienced the lack of State Water Project allocations during periods of drought. Conversely, during periods of excessive rain, our water supply is limited to State Water Project and Buellton Uplands (Well 9). Wells 3, 7 and 8 are located in the Santa Ynez River and are not available to use when the surface water is within 50 feet of the wells. Our facilities’ capacity is also a limiting factor. Currently, each well’s pumping capacity diminishes over time due to casing issues, pumping issues, and groundwater/aquifer/ issues. With continued growth, the City will need to continue to evaluate additional water resources. The last evaluation of the City’s water supply indicated an overall limitation to fire demand supply. It is critical to continue evaluation and modeling of the City’s water supply, facilities and storage to ensure supplies are adequate.

City of Buellton Water Supply Report 2025 6

4.0 Groundwater Management
On November 10, 2016, the City Approved Resolution No. 16-26, deciding to become a Groundwater Sustainability Agency with the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District to pursuant to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). This provides the organization of the Central Management Area and begins our SGMA compliance and formal groundwater management, further protecting the long term sustainability of the City’s groundwater basin supply. The Central Management Area is shown in Figure 3.

During 2018, the formation of the Central Management Area was finalized. Under the lead of the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District, a Request for Proposals was published, and subsequently consulting contract awarded to Stetson Engineers, for the groundwork for the SGMA compliance. Grant Agreement was also finalized with the Department of Water Resources under Prop 1b to assist in funding these early SGMA studies required for completion.

Figure 3. SGMA Basins

City of Buellton Water Supply Report 2025 7
Figure 4. Central Management Area
With the completion of the Groundwater Sustainability Plan, local organization of the Central Management Area continued in 2024 with the formation of the Central Management Area Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and continued coordination with the Western and Eastern Management Areas.

Documents, meeting packets and more, can be located at the Santa Ynez River Valley Groundwater Basin website at: https://www.santaynezwater.org/central-gsa . These documents provide the base data sets which will be used for the Groundwater Sustainability Plan.

Work in 2025 will continue the work implementing the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) and formation of

City of Buellton Water Supply Report 2025 8
governance amongst the basins to efficiently provide compliance and implementation. 2024 is the second complete water year following the submittal of the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) to the State Department of Water Resources in 2022. The CMA GSP indicated that the current CMA conditions are sustainable. The CMA GSP established sustainable management criteria for measuring progress toward groundwater sustainability and recommended projects and management actions to maintain sustainability, avoid undesirable results, and avoid unsustainable groundwater conditions.

The Annual report can be found at: https://www.cma-santaynezwater.org/cma-annual-reports .

City of Buellton Water Supply Report 2025 9

5.0 Groundwater Replenishment/Recycled Water
The City of Buellton’s does contribute to the replenishment of the groundwater systems. The City’s wastewater treatment plant currently discharges approximately 433,000 gallons of secondary treated effluent per day (2024 annual average daily flows) into infiltration basins. Specific studies on the extent of actual replenishment have not been conducted.

Recycled Water Feasibility evaluation has previously been conducted by staff. At this time, the cost-benefit to construct the necessary plant improvements and city-wide infrastructure to treat, produce and deliver tertiary treated, Title 22 compliant effluent cannot be met due to the limited amount of potential users that could utilize the reclaimed water. While this option is not currently feasible, it will remain an option to review periodically as grant funding becomes available or if alternative opportunities surface.

The City participated in a Potable/Indirect Potable Reuse Study with the County of Santa Barbara in 2023. The study was conducted and prepared by Carollo Engineers to evaluate the potential for potable water reuse using the effluent from the municipal wastewater treatment facilities in the County. This is a high level study that evaluated the City of Buellton, City of Solvang, Buellton-Solvang Joint and Summerland Sanitary District for Advanced Water Purification Facilities. Though the technology is not new, costs are not economically feasible on the small scale for Buellton or Buellton/Solvang jointly.

City of Buellton Water Supply Report 2025 10

6.0 Conservation
In order to provide long term sustainability, the City has been emphasizing water use reductions in the community. In an effort to advocate water conservation, the City has continued to implement outreach programs in conjunction with Santa Barbara County and other local jurisdictions. This outreach can be recognized as:

Currently, the City provides water conservation “Cash-4-Grass” rebate programs to residents and businesses.

The City is currently revamping this program to allow more residents and businesses to make the most of this benefit. In addition, the City has been providing outreach through the local newsletter – The Buellton Buzz in addition to additional water bill inserts.

The City has also been striving to lead by example with the drought tolerant landscape renovations at City Hall, completed in 2015. Additional conservation efforts include “smart irrigation” tuned to weather forecasts at all City Parks and Medians and conversion of Median 2 from grass to permeable pavers and drought tolerant landscaping.

City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SZ
Council Agenda Item No.: 8
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Andrea Keefer, Planning Director
Meeting Date: June 12, 2025
Subject: Ordinance No. 25-05 - “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Buellton, California, Adopting and Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the City of Buellton” (Introduction and First Reading)
______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) regularly reviews and updates the Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps within local responsibility areas in accordance with Government Code Sections 51178 and 51179. A Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) is a geographic area classified by the State as having a moderate, high, or very high wildfire hazard.

CalFire uses available science and data to develop and field test a model that serves as the basis of zone designations. The model evaluates the probability of the area burning and potential fire behavior in the area. Modeling factors include fire history, vegetation, flame length, blowing embers, proximity to the wildland, terrain, and weather patterns. The updated FHSZ maps for the local responsibility areas (released in March 2025) are inclusive of burn probabilities for wildland areas from 2020 fire data. The City of Buellton FHSZ map is provided as Attachment 1 to this staff report.

It is important to note that these maps measure hazard, and not risk. A fire “hazard” is based on the physical conditions that create a likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50-year period without considering mitigation measures such as home gardening, recent wildfires, or fuel reduction. Fire “risk” is the potential damage a fire can do to the area under existing conditions, accounting for any modifications such as fuel reduction projects, defensible space, and ignition-resistant building construction.

The purpose of these designations is to increase life safety and reduce the potential for structure ignitability by reducing fuels (defensible space) and improving construction features that would prevent ignition and ember intrusion, thereby reducing the threat of life or structure loss during a wildfire event.

Ordinance No. 25-05 Page 2 June 12, 2025
On March 10, 2025, CalFire released an updated FHSZ map for the City of Buellton and the City posted the map on its website for public review on May 9, 2025. Government Code section 51178.5 requires a 30-day minimum public review period and the map was made available for public review for 34 days, from May 9, 2025 to June 12, 2025. Public comments were accepted during this review period. To date, 0 comments have been received. Any comments received between June 4, 2025 and June 12, 2025 will be provided at the June 12, 2025 City Council meeting.

Government Code Section 51179 requires a local agency to adopt, by Ordinance, the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps within 120 days of receiving them from CalFire. Staff intends to bring this back for the second reading of the Ordinance at the June 26, 2025 City Council meeting. The ordinance would become effective on July 26, 2025, 30 days after adoption.

The Ordinance includes the addition of Buellton Municipal Code Section 8.12.030, which will memorialize the adoption and designation of the 2025 FHSZ for the City of Buellton by reference. Further, the FHSZ map will be included in the General Plan Safety Element, which is currently in the process of being updated as a part of the Comprehensive General Plan Update.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of the 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps and amending the Buellton Municipal Code to incorporate the 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps by reference is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)).

FISCAL IMPACT
The adoption of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map will not result in any direct fiscal impact to the City.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council conduct the introduction and first reading of Ordinance No. 25-05 - “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Buellton, California, Adopting and Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the City of Buellton” by title only and waive further reading.

City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SZ
Council Agenda Item No.: 9
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Allison Firey, Recreation Coordinator
Meeting Date: June 12, 2025
Subject: Consideration of Arts and Culture Project Application - Buellton Fall Fest
______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
A. Buellton Fall Festival 2025
The Buellton Fall Festival is a free, family-friendly, 3 day event that began in 2021 and features live music, food vendors, artisan booths and carnival rides. The festival had its largest turnout to date in 2024, with over 19,000 guests. Admission is always free to the event, with rides and food and available for an extra fee. The Buellton community has really taken pride in and embraced this event, and they have also seen an increatse in out of town visitors. En Fuego Events works directly with the Buellton Chamber of Commerce as their official non-profit partner for this event.

En Fuego events requested $20-$25,000 from the Arts and Culture Committee to help cover the expenses of the live music. The Committee decided to recommend an amount of $8,000 to the City Council. This amount would go toward covering the cost of two headlining bands on Saturday and Sunday night of the festival. En Fuego events has promised that the Arts and Culture Committee’s logo will be included in all advertising for the event, will be offered a booth space at the event, and that the Committee may do a brief introduction before the bands play each night to gain exposure for the Arts and Culture grants.

The Arts & Culture Committee discussed the Project at length and recommended approval to the City Council. The full proposal is attached to this report as Attachment 1.

FISCAL IMPACT
The grant request for the Buellton Fall Fest 2025 is $8,000 The FY 2024/2025 budget has $83,383 remaining.

Arts & Culture Projects Page 2 June 12, 2025

RECOMMENDATION

City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SZ
Council Agenda Item No.: 10
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shannel Zamora, Finance Director
Meeting Date: June 12, 2025
Subject: Resolution No. 25-17 – “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Buellton, California, Fixing the Employer’s Contribution Under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act at an Equal Amount for Employees and Annuitants, and Revoking Resolution No. 22-10”
______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
Subsection A of Section 14.1 Health Benefits of Rule XIV, Employee Benefits, of the City’s Personnel Rules, provides in part that “Accident, health, hospital, dental, and vision insurance to cover non-occupational injuries and sickness for probationary and Regular Full-Time Employees shall be provided by the City. The scope of coverage and the payment of premiums are subject to periodic review and revision by the City Council and shall be set by resolution of the City Council.”
Government Code Section 22892(a) provides that a local contracting agency, under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act, shall fix from time to time by resolution of the governing body of the agency the amount of the employer’s contribution.

Government Code section 22892(b) provides that the employer contribution shall be an equal amount for both employees and annuitants, but may not be less than the amount prescribed by Section 22892(b) of the Act; and
The last time the City Council fixed the employer’s contribution was in 2022 through Resolution No. 22-10. The resolution fixed the employers’ contribution for employees and annuitants at a maximum of $1,200.00. Since that time, the cost of medical insurance has continued to rise steadily. Given the increase in healthcare premiums over the past three years, staff recommends that the City Council consider an adjustment to the employer’s contribution to help offset the financial impact on employees and annuitants.

On May 22, 2025, during the FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 Biennial Budget Study Session, staff recommended that the City Council consider increasing the employer-paid health contribution for all regular full-time employees and annuitants, capped at $1,800 per

Resolution No. 25-17 Page 2 June 12, 2025
month, effective January 1, 2026. The City Council indicated that they were comfortable including the proposed increase for budgeting purposes; however, the City Council requested that staff return with the item for further discussion and bring back a resolution for formal approval of the increase.

The City’s health benefits plan is administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), which provides annual updates on the health plans available in our region. For 2025, the eligible plans include Blue Shield Access+ HMO and PERS Platinum PPO. Attachment 1 outlines the monthly premiums for these plans. The monthly premium for employee-plus-dependent coverage is $1,897.06 for the HMO plan and $2,517.52 for the PPO plan. Based on benchmarking from similar-sized public agencies in the region, the average employer contribution toward health insurance averages $1,800 per month. The $1,800 per month figure better reflects actual costs for family coverage or plans with lower deductibles, helping employees avoid high out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Increasing this cap would not only assist existing employees of the City in dealing with the increasing costs of health insurance but would also aid in the attraction of new staff to the City, given the significant portion of income that may be required to be paid for health insurance. Staff is therefore suggesting that the City Council consider capping the employer’s contribution for medical insurance at $1,800 per month. The employee would then be responsible for the additional payment of the premium in excess of the $1,800 per month.

In addition, the medical increase will also apply to retired employees. There are currently eighteen retiree subscribers and three receive the maximum amount of $1,200. The increase in coverage for these three employees would be $14,400.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to the City for the increase in the employer’s medical contribution to be capped at $1,800.00 per month will be an additional $600.00 per month effective as of January 1, 2026. The increased cost for coverage for the period of January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026 will be $144,000 for full-time employees and $14,400 for annuitants.

Funds will be appropriated for FY 2025-26 in the various funds and department budgets for said medical coverage and will reflect an increase of $72,000 for full-time employees and $7,200 for annuitants covering the periods of January 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council consider adoption of Resolution No. 25-17 - “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Buellton, California, Fixing the Employer’s Contribution Under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act at and Equal Amount for Employees and Annuitants, and Revoking Resolution No. 22-10”

City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SZ
Council Agenda Item No.: 11
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shannel Zamora, Finance Director
Meeting Date: June 12, 2025
Subject: Resolution No. 25-18 – “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Buellton, California, Fixing a Housing Allowance for all Regular Full-Time Employees”
______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
On May 22, 2025, staff presented the proposed Biennial Budget for FY 2025-26 and 2026-

27. As part of the proposed budget, staff recommended implementing a housing allowance of $750 per month for all regular full-time employees. This amount aligns with the housing allowance provided by the City of Solvang to its employees, serving as a benchmark.

The housing allowance recommendation stems from the findings of the City’s Salary and Compensation Study, which has not yet been released to the public. The study identified the need for additional support in housing affordability as a key issue impacting employee retention and recruitment. This financial pressure has increased the burden for many employees, as both mortgage payments and rental rates have risen sharply in recent years, particularly affecting those commuting from outside the city or struggling to secure housing near the workplace. Housing allowances have become a more common benefit among municipalities in high-cost regions, both as a tool for retention and as a method to ensure workforce stability. This fixed allowance is intended to help offset local housing affordability challenges.

The proposed housing allowance of $750 per month per employee will be provided to all full-time employees, regardless of their position. The City Manager will not receive this benefit, as his compensation is governed by a separate employment contract.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact is based on the current 19 regular full-time employees. The annual cost of the housing allowance is $171,000 annually. This cost has been incorporated into the proposed Biennial Budget for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27.

WHEREAS, municipalities in high-cost areas are increasingly adopting housing allowance benefits to retain and attract qualified personnel; and WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed and discussed the proposal during the budget presentation on May 22, 2025, and has determined to include this benefit as part of its FY 2025- 26 and FY 2026-27 Biennial Budget.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Buellton does hereby resolve, determine, and order as follows:

SECTION 1: Effective July 1, 2025, all regular full-time employees of the City of Buellton shall receive a housing allowance in the amount of $750 per month.

Council Agenda Item No.: 12
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shannel Zamora, Finance Director
Meeting Date: June 12, 2025
Subject: Resolution No. 25-19 – “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Buellton, California, Making Salary Adjustments for Certain Regular Full-time Employees”
______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
On May 22, 2025, staff presented the proposed Department Head salary adjustments during its budget study session for Biennial Budget FY 2025-26 and 2026-27. At that time, the City Council directed staff to include the salary adjustments in the proposed budget and bring the matter back for further discussion and formal adoption.

As part of an ongoing effort to ensure competitive compensation practices, staff is recommending a 10% salary adjustment for Department Heads. The proposal stems from the findings from the Salary and Compensation Study conducted. Although the full study has not yet been released to the public, early data indicates that the Department Head salaries lag behind market rates by over 20% for comparable job titles at peer agencies.

One Department Head with dual roles and no directly comparable position is found to be compensated approximately 12% below market benchmarks. This interim adjustment is intended to help bring Department Head salaries closer to parity while the City awaits publication of the full study and undertakes a comprehensive review and discussion of its findings, including classification-specific variances.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the proposed increase is approximately $81,260 which includes an estimated $65,664 in base salary and about $15,596 in associated benefits. Of this total, approximately $58,916 will be funded from the General Fund, $11,172 from the Wastewater Fund, and $11,172 from the Water Fund. This cost has been incorporated into the proposed Biennial Budget for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27.

WHEREAS, preliminary findings from a Salary and Compensation Study – which has not ye been released to the public – indicate that the City of Buellton’s compensation for Department Heads lags behind peer agencies by more than 20% for similar classifications, with one dual-role position approximately 12% below market rate; and
WHEREAS, this interim salary adjustment is intended to help bring Department Head compensation closer to market parity ahead of the full release of the compensation study and City Council’s comprehensive review of its final results and classification-specific variances; and WHEREAS, the City of the City of Buellton desires to ensure fair and compensative compensation for its Department Heads in recognition of their leadership and contributions to the organization with their increasing responsibilities; and WHEREAS, the revised salaries for the City Clerk/HR Director, Finance Director, Public Works Director and Planning Director are included in steps 1 through 5 on the updated salary schedule (Exhibit A); and

Table 2
FY 2025-26 FY 2026-27
The increase in revenue projections was due to the following:

Resolution No. 25-20 Page 3 June 12, 2025

1) The increase in projected interest revenue is primarily attributed to the anticipated earnings generated through the assistance of an investment advisory firm. This projection is based on a conservative estimate that assumes the current interest rate environment and expected earnings. It is important to note that the City has the potential to realize higher returns, depending on the performance and composition of its investment portfolio.
2) Transfers from Wastewater reserves are necessary to support operating expenditures, as current revenue levels are not sufficient to fully cover the City’s operating costs. In addition, transfers from reserves are also necessary to support capital expenditures. 3) The Wastewater Capital Fund requires transfers from the Wastewater Operating Fund in order to finance planned capital expenditures. These transfers are essential to support ongoing infrastructure improvements and ensure the sustainability of the wastewater system. The use of reserves is necessary due to insufficient revenue from connection fees. 4) The Water Operating Fund requires a transfer from reserves to fund capital expenditures.

This transfer is necessary to support critical infrastructure projects while maintaining operational stability and ensuring the continued delivery of safe and reliable water services.
5) A transfer from the Water Capital Reserve is required to support operational expenses.

This use of reserves is necessary due to insufficient revenue from connection fees. 6) A transfer from the Water Operating Fund to the Water Capital Fund is required to finance capital expenditures. Current revenue from connection fees is not sufficient to fully fund these capital needs, making the operating fund transfer necessary to support critical infrastructure investments.
7) A transfer from reserves is required for the Housing Fund to support ongoing operational expenses, including the funding of the Mobile Home Repair Program. The fund’s typical revenue sources—interest earnings and housing in-lieu fees—are currently insufficient to cover program costs, needed the use of reserves to maintain service continuity. 8) Several capital projects budgeted under the Gas Tax Fund in the prior fiscal year were not completed and have been carried over into the proposed budget. Consequently, the revenue sources originally intended to fund these projects were placed into reserves. To proceed with the carryover projects, a transfer from reserves within the Gas Tax Fund is now required to provide the necessary funding.
9) A transfer into the Local Transportation Fund from the General Fund was required to cover operating expenditures in the amount of $24,469 and $24,148 for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 respectively.
10) Like the Gas Tax Fund, several capital projects budgeted under Measure A in the prior fiscal year were not completed and have been carried over into the proposed budget.

Consequently, the revenue sources originally intended to fund these projects were placed into reserves. To proceed with the carryover projects, a transfer from reserves within the Measure A Fund is now required to provide the necessary funding.

Overall, total proposed expenditures increased by $1,629,383 and $2,223,500 for FY 2025- 26 and FY 2026-27 respectively.

Total Change: $ 1,629,383 Total Change: $ 2,223,500
Table 3
FY 2025-26 FY 2026-27

The increase in proposed expenditures is due to the following:
11) City Manager (001-402-50000 Salaries) – There is a $9,000 decrease in appropriations due to the removal of a housing allowance that was previously included in the proposed budget for the City Manager. Upon review, it was determined that the City Manager is not eligible for this benefit, and the adjustment reflects the correction of this oversight. 12) Recreation (001-511-67141 Arts and Culture) – Per City Council direction provided during the budget study session, $73,383 of unused funds from the prior fiscal year will be carried over into the current budget to support ongoing and planned projects. 13) Recreation (001-511-73100 Vehicles) – An $85,000 placeholder has been included in the budget for the potential acquisition of a passenger bus for the Recreation Center. The City Council may provide direction to staff regarding whether to include this expenditure in the final budget.
14) Wastewater Fund (005-701-69100 Transfer to Other Funds) – Transfers out from the Wastewater Operating Fund to the Wastewater Capital Fund are made to finance capital expenditure necessary for system improvements and infrastructure maintenance. 15) Water Fund (020-601-60131 Laundry-Uniform) – A review of the budget has uncovered a typographical error in the allocation in FY 2026-27. The correct budget figure is $2,500 which results in a budget savings of $22,500.
16) Water Fund (020-601-69100 Transfer to Other Funds) – Transfers out from the Water Operating Fund to the Water Capital Fund are made to finance capital expenditures necessary for system improvements and infrastructure maintenance. 17) Gas Tax Fund (025-554-77000 Transfer to Other Funds)) – A review of the budget has uncovered a typographical error in the allocation in FY 2026-27. The correct budget figure is $250,000 which results in a budget increase of $225,000.

FISCAL IMPACT
The final fiscal impact reflects all funds having sufficient revenue or reserves to meet budgeted expenditures. The General fund is expected to have an operating surplus of $66,038. Council will be updated quarterly on changes in fiscal impacts.

City Council authorized a $62,778 increase from the prior year towards funding non-profit agencies to allow funding for more agencies.

Includes prior year carryovers of incomplete projects and addition of a new project into the Capital Improvement Budget.
