Monthly Treasurer’s Report
For the month ending on August 31, 2026
September 28, 2026
This report presents the City’s cash activity and investment portfolio as of August 31, 2026. The report includes:
1) Cash and investments at August 31, 2026, compared to the prior month;
2) A reconciliation of cash and investments to City ledger balances; 3) All investments managed by the City on its own behalf; 4) Beginning of year fund balance, revenues, expenditures and ending fund balance for each fund at August 31, 2026
The following schedule is a summary of the City’s cash and investments based on recorded value as of August 31, 2026, compared with the prior month.
July 31, 2026 August 31, 2026 $ Change
Cash - Pooled $ 2,294,488.44 $ 1,561,792.86 $ (732,695.58) Investments held by the City 19,669,050.35 20,842,281.98 $ 1,173,231.63 TOTAL CASH AND INVESTMENTS $ 21,963,538.79 $ 22,404,074.84 $ 440,536.05 Summary of activity for the Month and Future Liquidity: The majority of the variance in the City's reported cash and investment balances from the prior month is attributable to the receipt of July 2026 Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and June 2026 sales tax revenues, partially offset by monthly reoccurring operating expenditures.
Additionally, a portion of the change in balances is due to the movement of funds from the City’s checking account to the money market account, resulting in an increase in investments and a corresponding decrease in cash. The value of remaining investments also increased due to interest earnings generated from money market account, Certificate of Deposits (CD)s, U.S. Treasuries, and corporate bonds. The portfolio remains sufficiently liquid to meet expected expenditures over the coming six months.

Currently, short-term excess cash is primarily invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) administered by the State Treasurer. This is a high-quality investment available in terms of safety, liquidity, and yield. Due to fluctuations in the marketplace, the City may have some investments with a current market value that is greater or less than the recorded value. This difference has no effect on investment yield as the City intends to hold the securities to maturity. However, generally accepted accounting principles require that market gains and losses be reported as interest earnings or losses at year-end.

CITY OF BUELLTON
City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Approval: SW
Council Agenda Item No.: 6
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Rose Hess, Public Works Director
Meeting Date: September 28, 2026
Subject: Approval of Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant Agreement and Consulting Services Agreement with Move Santa Barbara
BACKGROUND
The City has received an Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant Grant from the State of California for the implementation of the Santa Ynez Bicycle and Pedestrian Outreach Program. The Program will provide education and outreach activities regarding pedestrian and bicycle traffic safety. Activities such as in-person or virtual training and presentations, on-foot safety trainings, bike rodeos, community bike rides, helmet fittings and outreach at community events and more will occur throughout the Santa Ynez Valley.
The OTS has authorized the allocation and funding of our grant effective October 1, 2026, in the amount of $35,000. In order to continue the process of funding, the City will execute the Grant Agreement (Attachment 1).
This Program is only partially funded by the OTS Grant. The Program as a whole is spearheaded by the County of Santa Barbara who has already established on-going scope of work and contract with MoveSB (formerly SBBIKE) for implementation. The Program will be a collaboration between the Cities of Buellton and Solvang, and the County of Santa Barbara, with the City of Buellton as the lead/recipient for the OTS Grant. Previously, the City has executed a professional services agreement with MoveSB for implementation with a cost breakdown for eligible activities specific to the OTS grant. However, this grant cycle, OTS has specifically requested that the City issue a purchase order for these services to streamline the grant implementation process.

OTS Grant & Move SB Page 2 September 28, 2026
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this Grant Agreement and the MoveSB purchase order will require a budget amendment in the Fiscal Year 26/27 Budget to include the Santa Ynez Valley Bicycle and Pedestrian Outreach Program to the City’s Public Works budget (001-558-60800) with a budget allocation of $35,000 from General Fund. The expenditures to this project will be reimbursed by the OTS Grant, resulting in minimal, if any, impacts to the General Fund at the completion of the Grant process.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council a) approve the OTS Grant Agreement and authorize the City Manager and Public Works Director to execute the Grant Agreement and any amendments or modifications as needed, b) approve an agreement with MoveSB through a purchase order for implementation of the Grant Scope of Work in an amount not to exceed $35,000, and c) authorize the budget adjustment, adding the Santa Ynez Valley Bicycle and Pedestrian Outreach Program to the City’s Public Works budget (001-558-60800) with a budget allocation of $35,000.

Best practice strategies will be conducted to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists. The funded strategies may include classroom education, bicycle rodeos, community events, presentations, and workshops. These countermeasures should be conducted in communities with high numbers of pedestrian and/or bicycle related crashes including at-risk communities, older adults, and school-aged children. Coordinated efforts such as Safe Routes to School initiatives, Safe System Approach, and working with community based organizations are highly encouraged to prevent fatalities and injuries of vulnerable non-motorized road users.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
The program will impact the City of Buellton and the unincorporated communities of Los Olivos (approximately 9 miles from Buellton) and Santa Ynez (approximately 7 miles from Buellton.) Buellton, Los Olivos, and Santa Ynez are part of the region known as the Santa Ynez Valley which also contains the City of Solvang and several other unincorporated communities. The region is also home to the Santa Ynez Reservation of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. Buellton encompasses an area of 1.58 square miles, Los Olivos encompasses an area of 2.49 square miles, and Santa Ynez encompasses an area of approximately 5 miles. According to the 2022 U.S. Census Bureau, Buellton has a population of 5,150, Los Olivos has a population of 1,020, and Santa Ynez has a population of 4,716. (The entire Valley is home to approximately 23,000 residents). Several highways run through and around the Valley. In particular, Highway 101 and Highway 246 run through Buellton, Highway 154 runs through Los Olivos, and 154 and 246 run through Santa Ynez.
Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).
Bicycle and pedestrian safety is of paramount concern in Buellton and the Santa Ynez Valley. This is due, in part, to a County-wide commitment to pedestrian and bicycle safety and also because two major active transportation projects have recently secured funding and will allow for many more pedestrians and bicyclists in and around Buellton.
The Santa Ynez Chumash tribe, the County of Santa Barbara, and cities of Buellton and Solvang and have secured funding to complete the Santa Ynez River Trail Project which will connect the far western end of Buellton to Santa Ynez (an unincorporated community in the Valley) along the Santa Ynez River with a bicycle and pedestrian path. Among other benefits, this will allow pedestrians and bicyclists to travel between Solvang and Buellton without having to travel along Highway 246. Ultimately, this project will encourage a healthier and more active lifestyle in the area by increasing the number of bicyclists and enabling safe travel.
Buellton has also secured funding to carry out the West Highway 246 Ped/Bike Safety Improvements Project. This project intends to lower vehicle speeds and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. There are many businesses and schools near this stretch of highway, including Jonata Middle School (.2 miles away) and Oak Valley Elementary School (.3 miles away). Therefore, this places the project in the “Safe Routes to School” category as many students travel down Highway 246 when biking/walking to school.
The City of Buellton and other partners in the region are extremely excited about these projects that promise to encourage many more people to engage in walking and bicycling. However, these projects will facilitate a large increase in the number of people on bicycles. This increase underscores the need for youth safety education so they will understand how to safely navigate on these trails and streets now and when these projects come to fruition.
Also, e-bikes are now popular in the region and fill an important niche for teenagers who cannot, or do not, drive but require transportation to school, activities, or jobs. However, there are serious risks inherent in youth on e-bikes. In a recent study done by Santa Barbara's Westmont College it details the dangers of unsafe e-bike usage, especially among young riders in and around Santa Barbara. The article states, “The local e-bike crash statistics are sobering. There were only 10 e-bike crashes in 2022, but that number jumped to 73 in 2023 and 107 in 2024. Cottage Hospital reports between 2023-24, nearly half of the 84 patients it treated for e‑bike injuries were aged 11 to 20.” 39 of 89
9/8/2026 8:40:58 AM Page 5 of 21
This is part of a national trend driven by a greater number of e-bike users traveling at speeds up to (and sometimes over) 28 miles per hour. As youth gravitate more toward this mode of transportation, there is a viable need for safety instruction as the potential for serious injury on e-bikes is greater than on traditional bikes. There is a conversation developing in the region as to how to make the transportation system as a whole more accommodating and safer for e-bike riders. This conversation has also identified the need for safety instruction, including guidance on rules to be followed, safety gear to be worn, and the dangers of “boosting” the e-bike so that it travels faster than the manufacturer’s specifications. This conversation is especially important for junior high and high school students who are especially drawn to e-bikes yet require guidance as to how to make sound decisions when riding.
The City of Buellton considers all of these students to be bike riders, or future bike riders, especially given the large local push toward active transportation. This population has brains where the front lobe is still developing, which can impact decision-making. As uninformed decision-making on a bicycle or e-bike can lead to catastrophic consequences, the program's hands-on activities may save a child(ren) from serious injury or, in some cases, a fatality.
We want to emphasize that children in economically disadvantaged households are at greater risk of injury on a bicycle. Simply put, these families have fewer economic resources and (generally speaking) less time to invest in bicycle safety. For example, wearing a helmet may be the most important step a child can take to protect themselves from serious injury. The American College of Surgeons supports this statement by noting “Helmets reduce the risk of head injury by 48%, traumatic brain injury by 53%, facial injury by 23%, and fatal injury by 34%. Pediatric non-helmeted bikers have a 3-fold higher risk of serious head injury compared to helmeted bikers; one study suggests that helmet use may reduce the risk of head injury by 83%.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).
The target population of this grant is children in the Santa Ynez Valley ages 5 to 18 who attend Jonata Middle School (Buellton), Oak Valley Elementary School (Buellton), Los Olivos Elementary (Los Olivos), Ballard Elementary School (Solvang), Santa Ynez Valley Charter (Santa Ynez), Santa Ynez Elementary School (Santa Ynez), and Santa Ynez Valley High School (Santa Ynez). These schools will have a total enrollment of 1,987 and 37% of these students are considered socio-economically disadvantaged.
This program will implement Bicycle Safety and Training courses at local elementary schools. Through these courses, trained personnel will provide hands-on instruction to children by educating the children about safe riding skills, traffic awareness, and helmet safety, while also properly fitting and distributing bicycle helmets and pedestrian and bicycle reflective items to those children who need them. Targeting children under 15 aligns with the identified high injury ranking for bicyclist incidents in that age group and allows for early education in safe riding behaviors.
The Journal of Surgical Research notes (in examining bicycle injuries/fatalities) that the most economically disadvantaged children injured or killed were the least likely to wear a helmet. While the activities of this program will be of benefit to all youth who participate, they will be especially pertinent in helping keep students safe who are from economically disadvantaged households.

City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SW
City Council Agenda Item No: 7
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Andrea Keefer, Planning Director
Meeting Date: September 28, 2026
Subject: Avenue of Flags Median 3 Conceptual Plans Sargent Town Planning
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Median 3 is at the center of the envisioned downtown core of the Avenue of Flags Specific Plan. The large vacant grassy median is planned to become a unique public gathering space that functions as a town plaza and park. Amenities identified in the Specific Plan include an amphitheater, public restroom, shade structures, open landscaped area, trees and drought-tolerant plantings, vendor kiosks, and a community building that could house a visitor’s center, historic museum, or other desired uses. The Art Deco architectural style is to be woven throughout the design.
Staff has been working with Sargent Town Planning (STP) to create Conceptual Plans for Median 3. STP is an urban planning and design firm well-known for successful downtown projects such as Lancaster Boulevard and Ventura’s Downtown Specific Plan. STP is working with Civic Solutions for the City’s 2050 General Plan Update and are contracted with the City to provide Urban Design and Connectivity Review for certain key development projects within Buellton’s downtown area.
Conceptual Design
The conceptual plans provided in Attachment 1 have been designed to catalyze development on the Avenue of Flags by creating a destination that invites visitors to stay, walk around, rest, shop, and eat. The design was created to be an “outdoor room”, providing a sense of enclosure with trees and shade structures surrounding the space, buffering the car and bicycle lanes on either side. The concept plan builds upon the City’s vision for Median 3 in the Specific Plan and previous concept plans from the City’s landscape architect intern and introduces urban design elements that have been proven to make downtowns successful.

2nd Street Plaza: Expands this end of the median by placing pavers on what is now striped dead space on 2nd St and Avenue of Flags; shortened and safe crosswalks across the intersections; the space is flanked by two Art Deco kiosks (3 potential for architectural design styles are presented) which could range up to 600 square feet each and could house a small café in one and a visitor’s center/historic museum and public restroom in the other; temporary café seating, permanent seating and planters, and fun photo ops could be placed here.
The South Lawn: An open sloped lawn and shaded stage area, designed to host concerts, performances, and other community events, but with the for flexibility to be a usable park area outside of events; buffered by a paved path on either side underneath pergola structures shaded with vines; and parallel parking along the outside edges to further separate slow moving traffic lanes from the inner lawn. Food Truck Pod: A food truck pod with center flag fountain, incorporating permanent pads for food trucks under a dense canopy of trees with a central fountain feature surrounding the historic landmark flag; midblock cross walks here would connect a central pathway to both sides of the Avenue. The North Lawn: Further north, a landscaped park lawn with some light tree coverage and landscaping which could be flexibly used for picnics, play, or community event space; surrounded by a paved path and some permanent seating in one corner. Diagonal parking with landscape planters containing trees buffer this lawn area from traffic lanes.
North Plaza: The north end plaza contains four small 12’x12’ vendor kiosks, shown in a streamline moderne style. This area is also expanded, mirroring the south plaza to utilize current dead space along the Avenue and the cross street. The kiosks could house incubator spaces for start-up retail and food vendors.
Inspiration was taken from the “Pop Up Shops on Main” Economic Development program in Bothell, Washington, where the City partners with entrepreneurs on a rotating basis to lease out 12’x8’ pre-fabricated buildings for two years, providing the businesses with microfinancing and business tools. Successful ventures could then be primed for relocation to a permanent location as prime retail space develops along the Avenue. Short crosswalks here over narrow lanes of slowly moving traffic safely connect the median to both sides of the Avenue and to the Median 2 public parking lot.
The Planning Commission reviewed the conceptual plans on August 6, 2026 and provided comments (see Attachment 2). The Commissioners discussed architectural consistency between different areas of the median, with preferences for the Streamline Moderne style presented and emphasized the importance of trees and street landscaping to create a contained downtown feel.

Planning Commission Comments on STP Median 3 Plans 8/6/2026 Commissioner Campbell
Asked about how food trucks would enter the central food-truck pod, specifically whether there would be driveway-type entrances from each side of Avenue of Flags. Staff explained that the spaces would likely have curb cuts and retractable bollards, allowing the area to remain usable when food trucks were absent.
Raised a maintenance concern about the decomposed granite (DG) proposed in the multipurpose/food-truck area. He liked using a permeable material rather than additional lawn, but suggested getting Public Works feedback because DG could potentially become a maintenance problem.
Agreed that the north plaza could have its own architectural identity because it is separated from the south end by the north lawn.
Thought the south lawn, trellises, and Second Street Plaza buildings should be more architecturally coherent, since those elements are much closer together. Suggested the north-end vendor structures could potentially be simpler and less expensive, even more like modest market stalls or wood structures, rather than necessarily carrying the same architectural treatment as the south end.
Preferred the Streamline Moderne option, particularly because of the opportunity for consistency throughout the project.
He did not like the columns at the north plaza as currently shown.
Commissioner Sarquilla
Asked whether the project included public restroom facilities. Called the illustrations "beautiful" and "exceptional." Did not support the permanent buildings, with the exception of restrooms. Suggested replacing the proposed permanent commercial/community structures with farmers-market-style pop-ups, which he thought would provide much greater flexibility. Liked the pillars, arches and general openness of the concept. Strongly supported the extensive use of trees and shade, saying essentially that the more trees the better.
Suggested creating a prominent Buellton gateway arch, comparing it to the large town-name arches found in places such as Encinitas/Ramona. He thought a large arch bearing "Buellton" would make an attractive landmark and clearly announce arrival in downtown.
Chair Reese
Asked whether the north-end vendor kiosks would remain Streamline Moderne regardless of which architectural option was selected for the Second Street Plaza, or whether their architecture would be revised to correspond with the selected style. Asked whether the numerous street trees shown outside the median itself were actually intended to be part of the larger plan. The consultant confirmed that they were important to creating a more enclosed downtown environment.
77 of 89
Asked whether the General Plan update could establish objective standards requiring future development projects to install those street trees.
Liked the Streamline Moderne kiosk buildings themselves, but thought their strong horizontal character conflicted with the nearby vertical Art Deco columns/trellises. Her objection was less to either design individually than to the transition between them. Was not opposed to different architectural styles being used in different "rooms" of the median, but thought the entry columns would need to be redesigned if that approach were pursued. Of the three designs for the Second Street Plaza, preferred the middle/teal option (Streamline Moderne). She also liked the brick used in the first option. Strongly liked the redesigned amphitheater/lawn: it remains usable as ordinary lawn when no event is occurring, it takes advantage of the site's slope; and moving it from the far north end to a more central location should make it more useful.
Liked the overall concept of creating a sequence of "outdoor rooms" and thought the spaces flowed logically from one to another.
Liked the flexibility of the proposed structures and could envision them serving numerous different uses.
Liked the proposed angled parking and the use of landscaping/trees to break up the parking areas. 78 of 89
CITY OF BUELLTON
City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SW
City Council Agenda Item No.: 8
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Andrea Keefer, Planning Director
Meeting Date: September 28, 2026
Subject: Discussion of Change to Regulations Regarding Food Trucks ______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
In the last several years there has been a marked interest for food trucks in the City.
Typically, operators wish to park a stand-alone food truck along public streets like Avenue of Flags or on an existing commercial parking lot, and some have asked about sites which could accommodate multiple operators with additional permanent amenities installed.
However, the City’s Municipal Code does not specifically address food trucks and so they have only been allowed in limited circumstances, primarily as part of City-approved special events. The Avenue of Flags Specific Plan would allow food trucks via a Temporary Event-Zoning Clearance (TE-ZC), but that permit type does not exist in the City’s framework and there are no standards applicable to food trucks within the Specific Plan or Municipal Code under which to permit them. An ordinance would have to be drafted to allow food trucks in a greater range of circumstances than is currently permitted.
A food truck ordinance could apply to any “mobile food facility” as defined by the Health & Safety Code that is not regulated by SB 946 (Sidewalk Vendors). These would include motorized vehicles and trailers whereupon food is sold, but would not include pushcarts, pedal-driven carts, and other non-motorized temporary stands on public property. The ordinance could allow for stand-alone food trucks parked temporarily on public streets and property and on private property. It could also allow for more permanent food truck “pods” in certain areas, providing locations where several food trucks could operate simultaneously with amenities which may include parking and restrooms..
A summary of food truck standards from surrounding jurisdictions is below and is meant to provide a basis for where and how food trucks may be allowed in Buellton.
Recommendations would then be included in a food truck ordinance to be drafted. It is important to note that the permitting process, code enforcement, and overall administrative burden of such an ordinance would be determined in the drafting and approval of the ordinance, which would come back before the Planning Commission and City Council. 79 of 89

City of Santa Barbara: Allowed on private property in non-residential zones, on lots developed with non-residential uses; maximum one truck per day per parking lot; must not be closer than 500 feet to another mobile food vendor; allowed on public streets; allowed on public parks with a temporary use permit; not allowed on public parking lots
County of Santa Barbara: Does not limit food trucks in the public right-of-way; not regulated on County-owned property (i.e. parks); allowed in one agricultural zone incidental to specific agricultural tourism-type uses such as campgrounds, educational 80 of 89

opportunities, and horseback riding; allowed on private property in the retail commercial zone
Goleta: Allowed on private property with the property owner’s consent if they do not obstruct public rights-of-way; not allowed on public property Lompoc: Allowed within a public or private open space (e.g., parking lot, plaza, etc.) or parked legally on the street in all commercial, mixed use, business park, industrial zones, and all residential zones; must not be closer than 25 feet to a driveway or vehicular entrance; must be in a parallel parking space; allowed in public parks only with a special event permit
Santa Maria: Allowed on public property (i.e. streets, parking lots, and parks) and private parking lots within all zones
Solvang: Allowed only as part of permitted special events The Avenue of Flags Specific Plan allows and encourages food trucks. Staff would recommend the most allowance be given within the Specific Plan area. The City Council should determine if food trucks are desired to be allowed in any other areas in the city; in commercial or industrial zones, in public parks, on property zoned Public/Quasi Public, or in residential areas. For each of the areas, the City Council should determine whether to allow food trucks on public property (public streets, parking lots, and/or parks) and/or on private property with property owner permission. This will form the basis of the food truck ordinance which is to be drafted after City Council direction.
The Planning Commission gave recommendations at their July 16, 2026 meeting (see Attachment 1). Generally, the Commissioners were in favor of allowing food trucks, both as stand-alone and in food truck pods on Avenue of Flags and Industrial Way in limited amounts on private parking lots and public property.
Other Considerations
Other considerations which the Council may comment on, and which could be included in the ordinance include: total permitted food trucks allowed; hours of operation; parking; noise; waste disposal; accessibility on pedestrian paths; distance to intersections and driveways; signage; lighting; and vehicle storage when not in use. Food trucks along Highway 246 would require Caltrans permits, which could put an undue burden on applicants. Food trucks would be required to obtain County Environmental Health Services permits which take into consideration food safety, access to a restroom/handwashing station, and access to a commissary (a permanent food facility separate from the food truck where food and supplies are prepared and stored).
The City of Lompoc prohibits food trucks between 2:30am-6am, except as approved as part of special events. The City of Santa Barbara allows one food truck per parking lot for a maximum of four hours per day, with no one lot allowed a mobile food vendor onsite for more than 90 days total in any 12-month period. It should be noted that if hour limitations are placed on food trucks, there may be difficulty in the enforcement of these. 81 of 89
Food Trucks Page 4 September 28, 2026
If allowed within parking lots, limitations could be placed on the number of food trucks allowed per day on each parking lot, time limits, and/or a maximum number of required parking spaces that may be displaced. If allowed on streets, Staff would recommend regulations on the distance to intersections and driveways, and standards around parking only in legal parking spaces parallel to the curb.
Noise considerations would be the use of generators and amplified sounds/music. The Cities of Lompoc and Santa Barbara have regulations that prohibit the use of speakers/amplified sounds, bells/chimes, or similar noise producing devices, and Staff would recommend similar prohibitions as well as standards to keep generator noise to acceptable levels.
The Home Occupation Ordinance in Section 19.06.100 specifically disallows any vehicles, except those “incidental to residential use” to be kept on residentially zoned properties. If vehicles used to conduct these mobile businesses are not allowed to be kept at residential properties during non-business hours, a food truck owner would be left with the options of storing the vehicle on a public street, in a private commercial parking lot, at a commissary, or at self-storage facilities which accommodate vehicle storage (there are several which do in Buellton).
Food Truck Pods
Planning Staff has received some inquiries on developing sites which could accommodate multiple food truck operators with additional permanent amenities installed. Zoning regulations for permanent food truck installations could be considered dependent on the zoning district, and take into consideration setbacks, landscaping, lighting, access, utilities, requiring a Fats, Oil, and Grease permit for the site, the requirement for public restrooms, allowance of shipping containers and similar structures, waste disposal, and communal maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT
Costs associated with the drafting of an ordinance would be absorbed by Staff salaries and would not have any fiscal impact on the City.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council make recommendations on the location(s) they would like to see food trucks allowed and in what capacity, and direct Staff to draft a Zoning Ordinance Amendment.

Planning Commission Comments on Food Trucks 7/16/2026
Commissioner Campbell asked about locations where food truck pods had previously been contemplated. Staff identified private properties on McMurray Road and Avenue of Flags and noted that conceptual plans for the future redesign of Median 3 could include space for food trucks. Staff stated that the Median 3 plans would return to the Commission as a separate item. Commissioner Kump said pods should be limited to very specific areas and that circulation, traffic, and pedestrian concerns should be addressed. He is in favor of food trucks in the City. Commissioner Sarquilla was in favor of food trucks being allowed on private property, saying it could be a boon to businesses which wanted to hold events but lacked the means to prepare their own food.
Vice-Chair Contreras expressed support of pods if they were at centralized locations and had limited hours of operations. He did not support food trucks in residential areas, on State Route 246, or along McMurray Road because of concerns regarding noise, traffic, parking, sight distance, and proximity to existing restaurants.
Chair Reese expressed general support for allowing both food truck pods and standalone food trucks in limited locations. Commissioners noted that pods could provide permanent utilities and facilities, reduce reliance on generators, and make it easier to address parking, lighting, accessibility, restrooms, waste, and maintenance.
The Commission generally favored the Avenue of Flags Specific Plan area and the Industrial Way corridor. Commissioners discussed allowing food trucks on appropriate private parking lots and, in limited circumstances, on public property. Some support was expressed for food trucks at future park or sports-field activities when adequate facilities are available or as part of a City-approved special event. The Commission requested that a future ordinance consider limits on days and hours of operation and prevent standalone trucks from remaining indefinitely in the same location. Commissioners also requested standards addressing traffic circulation, pedestrian access, sight triangles near intersections and driveways, parking-space displacement, restrooms, waste collection, generator noise and emissions, permanent electrical connections, amplified music, lighting and dark-sky compliance, signage and aesthetics, food truck storage, and the permitting and enforcement process.
Staff stated that the Commission's direction would be used to prepare a draft ordinance and that more detailed options and regulatory implications would be presented when the item returns to the Planning Commission and City Council.

CITY OF BUELLTON
City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Approval: SW
Council Agenda Item No.: 9
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Rose Hess, Public Works Director
Meeting Date: September 28, 2026
Subject: Discussion of ADA/Inclusive Playground Improvements at Oak Park.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has identified a goal/objective of installing accessible and inclusive playgrounds in the City. Council direction to staff was to investigate a new accessible/inclusive playground at Riverview Park. Research steps include identifying potential vendors and reviewing the various amenities and equipment, identifying community needs and a lot of public outreach. Integral to this is budget estimating and grant funding opportunities.
During this research period, Oak Park was identified for playground equipment replacement due to frequent repair needs since the equipment is over 20 years old. In addition, there are many existing park amenities (such pas picnic tables, benches and bbq’s) that require replacement as well as ADA improvements. This was an ideal opportunity to begin community engagement for accessible/inclusive playgrounds. We are aware that the cost for a completely new playground area (site prep/grading/construction/equipment) would be substantial at a minimum of $1,000,000.
Starting at Oak Park at a smaller scale would allow us to provide an accessible/inclusive playground sooner. Since community engagement is an integral component to any grant funding, staff worked to provide an “Open House” at Oak Park to obtain community feedback for equipment replacement at Oak Park. Vendors identified during initial research were contacted and invited to attend the Open House held on Sunday, July 26, 2026. Three vendors were able to attend and provided information material on their products and answered questions from residents.
Staff summarized feedback received and is provided in Attachment 1. This was provided to the vendors and was requested to submit their concepts for equipment replacement and general cost estimate. The main criteria request was that the footprint of the existing playground remain the same (See Attachment 2).
84 of 89
ADA/Inclusive Playground Improvements Page 2 September 28, 2026 Three vendors provided concepts and cost estimates: Attachment 3 (Miracle Playground), Attachment 4 (Kompan), Attachment 5 (Great Western Recreation). Note that these are only concepts to provide an idea of what can be done. General equipment approximate costs range from $180,000 to $230,000. These are equipment costs only and will still require installation costs, surface cost, etc. total project costs can range from $500,000 to $800,000.
There are endless possibilities to the features and amenities that can be chosen. Staff is requesting Council discuss the opportunities, features, and preferences for new accessible/inclusive playground equipment and identify priorities (colors, theme, specific features).
Next steps would include Capital Improvement Project Identification (CIP) and eventual preparation of Request for Bids or Request for Proposals for the preferred improvements.
Timing would depend on Council’s preference. Oak Park improvements are not included in the current FY budget. The project can be included through a Budget Amendment or can be identified for the next FY budget process starting in March of 2027. Regardless of timing, staff would provide an additional community workshop in the process prior to finalization of the procurement process and/or during the design phase.
Community outreach will continue in November 2026 for the another “Open House” for Riverview Park.
FISCAL IMPACT
Oak Park ADA/Inclusive Playground Improvements Project is not currently included in the FY 26/27 Adopted Budget. The project will need to be added to the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) through a budget amendment or can be identified as a CIP through the budget process that will start March 2027 for FY 27/28.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council Council discuss the opportunities, features, and preferences for new accessible/inclusive playground equipment and identify priorities and provide staff direction.

7-26-26 Notes from Families at the Oak Park Open House
Square or circular picnic tables with space for wheelchairs promote interaction at the whole table.
Prefer sail shades over equipment designs that are enclosed to provide shade.
Understanding that space is limited, but ideal is "connecting a variety of free standing inclusive play elements with thoughtful pathways"
"Hedra", by Landscape Structures offers multiple levels of play, challenge, and support.

I have a 6yo son with autism and ADHD and a 4yo allistic daughter.
Would love to get surrounding gates like kids world in SB. This will be a barrier for kids that elope. One entry in and out. This is especially important for the proximity to the street.
Wide play grounds that allow for parents to follow along with child while allowing surrounding children to follow A sign saying no dogs in the play area. Some kids are terrified of dogs and will elope away from the dog preventing them from playing on the playground with other kids. People without kids present have brought dogs into parks to train them on socializing with kids without parental permission; I have seen this in multiple buellton parks on multiple occasions. Feces and urine in the play area can get kids sick.
Provide a quiet/ private area/ bench for kids to calm down if disregulated. Something that is not playground facing.
It’s horrible to try to calm your kid and have every parent and kid staring.
Varying play areas for varied skills. This will allow for kids with limited gross motor skills to still be surrounded by similar aged peers.
