STAFF REPORT
DATE: August 25, 2026
TO: Justin Hess, City Manager
FROM: Jennifer Becker, Financial Services Director
VIA: Leana Mkrtchyan, Assistant Financial Services Director BY: Joy Escalante, Budget Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolutions Continuing Appropriations from Fiscal Year 2025- 26 to Fiscal Year 2026-27

RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 202 6-2027 BUDGET FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS FROM FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 (Attachment 1).

2. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 202 6-2027 BUDGET FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 2025- 2026 (Attachment 2).

3. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE PARKING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 202 6-2027 BUDGET FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 2025- 2026 (Attachment 3).

BACKGROUND
At the end of each Fiscal Year (FY), departments review their budget line items to identify appropriations that have not been expended or encumbered and need to be continued into the next fiscal year. There are various reasons for departments to request continuing

FINANCIAL

SERVICES
Consent Calendar
Item #4
fiscal years such as housing assistance, summer recreation programs, and certain contractual services. Grants, federal and state program funding, donations, and Council- 20 2
directed set-asides or holding accounts are restricted for a specific purpose and must be continued into the next fiscal year until fully expended.

DISCUSSION
The Summary of Continuing Appropriations by Fund (Attachment 4) provides the total amount of requested carryovers for each fund. Continuing Appropriations by Account Number (Attachment 5) provides details for each request by fund type, including account number and name, amount requested, and a justification. It is important to note that the stated amounts are subject to change as financial activities in these accounts may continue until the fiscal year is officially closed. These continuing appropriations do not impact the FY 2026-27 adopted budget or financial forecast because they are not new appropriations.

Citywide carryover requests total approximately $130 million. The BWP Electric Fund had the highest amount of carryovers at $94 million, which includes $63 million for continuing work on the airport substation.

General Fund requested carryovers are $8.1 million, which equates to 2.9% of the total FY 2025-26 Adopted General Fund budget. Of th at total, $2.2 million is comprise d of restricted funding that includes grants, donations, and various contractual obligations.

The most significant General Fund carryover amounts include the City’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), homeless plan implementation funding, National Opioid Settlement funds, brush clearance funds, and various department donations. Similar to last year, all multi -year infrastructure projects within the City’s approved Capital Improvement Program (CIP) were carried over as part of the Budget adoption process that took place on June 2, 2026.

GENERAL FUND YEAR-END FINANCIAL UPDATE
FY 2026-27 is well underway, and while FY 202 5-26 has not been officially closed, staff estimates year-end General Fund budget savings of approximately $15 million, assuming the approval of the proposed carryover appropriations included in this report. This is roughly $5.3 million more than the prior year, which can be mostly attributed to the “hiring chill” which was implemented in FY 2025-26 to generate budgetary savings from staffing vacancies across City departments. These figures are subject to change until the fiscal year has officially been closed and the City’s annual external audit process is completed.

FY 2025-26 revenues are still being collected at this time, with final numbers anticipated to be available in September. Based on staff’s early analysis of June 2026 receipts, it is anticipated that the General Fund is on target to meet the revised revenue projections presented to the City Council (Council) on March 10, 2026, during the FY 2025-26 Mid- Year Financial Report . With the Council’s prior actions, such as the implementation of cost-saving initiatives, additional pension liability payments, and commitment to funding 21 3
reserves, Burbank’s General Fund remains positive in the current fiscal year. However, future year projections forecast a recurring deficit of over $3 million as expenses outpace revenues over the next five years. Staff will continue to monitor the state of the economy and return to Council with the FY 2026-27 First Quarter Financial Report in late fall.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.

FISCAL IMPACT
Should the Council adopt the resolutions and approve the continuing appropriations as proposed, the FY 2026-27 Budget will be amended for citywide continuing appropriations of approximately $129.8 million, which includes $8.1 million for the General Fund, $976,902 for the Housing Authority, and $512,860 for the Parking Authority. As previously mentioned, the totals for continuing appropriations are preliminary and the amounts may be adjusted slightly as financial activities continue until the fiscal year is officially closed.

These continuing appropriations do not impact the recurring balance of the FY 202 6-27 adopted budget or the financial forecast as they are not new appropriations. At year-end, any unencumbered appropriations, not requested or approved as a continuing appropriation, return to the available balance of the applicable fund and can be appropriated for other purposes by the Council.

CONCLUSION
By approving the requested continuing appropriations, Council will provide staff with the funding required to complete and/or continue with various Council -supported projects, grants, programs, and services. Staff recommends that Council adopt the proposed resolutions approving the requested continuing appropriations from FY 202 5-26 to FY 2026-27 for the City, the Housing Authority, and the Parking Authority.

was reviewed by the Successor Agency implementing official.

This was also a Council-approved mid-year request on March 10, 2026. The invoice for these repairs was received after July 1, 2026 and is in the process of being paid. An additional $65,000 of the carryover is needed to cover payment of a FY 2025-26 4th quarter invoice that will be paid after July 1, 2026.

Finally, staff increased the FY 2026-27 budget for these expenses by 15 percent over FY 2025-26, but the carryover is needed to account for additional cost increases billed to the City that could exceed this 15 percent budget increase
assumption.

BACKGROUND
The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation (Foundation) is a non -profit organization that provides financial support to first responders, public safety organizations, and military veterans n ationwide. F ollowing the af termath of H urricane Katrina i n 2005, t he Foundation was est ablished to support t he funding of lifesaving equipment, pr evention education, scholarships and continued education, and disaster r elief to first responders and p ublic s afety or ganizations, as w ell as su pport f or m ilitary v eterans. This gr ant ensures first responders have the tools needed to respond effectively in emergencies.

DISCUSSION
As Burbank is geographically located in the foothills of the Verdugo Mountains and has a wildland urban interface, approximately 40 percent of the Burbank Fire Department’s (BFD) primary response area (or 4,264 acres) falls within moderate, high, or very high Fire Hazard Severity Zones. These zones are designated by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) based on fire hazard factors such as topography, ember cast, and vegetation. In 2025, the Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps were updated by CAL FIRE and increased Burbank’s zones by 25%. Over 2,800 properties are now designated as very high risk for wildfire and over 1,500 properties are designated as high risk. These zones include highly populated areas, as well as commercial properties that significantly impact local commerce.

Given t
he unique nature of wildland firefighting, which often includes dry, rugged vegetation, specialized wildland hose packs and loose hose are required to respond effectively. Wildland hose packs are carried by fire suppression personnel for added hoseline to reach higher terrain. Loose wildland hose is laid out for firewatch following a brush fire in case of reignition. The local Bethany Fire in June 2025 spanned the course of three days. Firefighters carried wildland hose up the jagged hillside and successfully stopped the spread of the fire at twenty acres. During the fire, all hose packs were deployed, and loose hose was used for cleanup operations and firewatch in the following days. After demobilization, crews spent time rolling hose, reassembling hose packs, and restocking fire engines for future use. These supplies were also used in July 2026 for the Wildwood Fire and, most recently, the notable Walnut Fire in August 2026. Additionally, the wildland hose packs and loose hose are used for strike team deployments, in which crews respond to local, state , and federal wildfires as part of automatic and mutual aid agreements to assist other agencies with additional resources. In 2025, BFD assisted in ten different state and federal wildfires, including the Eaton Fire and Palisades Fire.

BFD m
ust have adequate supplies to effectively respond to wildfires. With extra wildland hose packs and loose hose, operations will be more efficient, and the Burbank community will be better protected with timely fire suppression. The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Grant for $14,928.55 will allow BFD to maintain ten hose packs on all ten fire engines (six frontline and four reserve). This grant funding also supports the purchase of six hundred feet of loose wildland hose to store at fire stations for additional inventory.

ENVIRO

NMENTAL REVIEW
This grant has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirement of the California Environmental Quality Act 9CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff is requesting City Council authority to accept the funds and amend the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Adopted Budget by appropriating $14,928.55 from the revenue account number 001.FD000.48010.1999.25379.00000 (General Fund, Fire Department General, Other Intergovernmental Revenue, Miscellaneous, Q3 2026 FH Subs Grant) to expenditure account 001.FD02A.62300.0000.25379.00000 (General Fund, Fire Suppression, Special Departmental Supplies, Q3 2026 FH Subs Grant).

CONCLUSI
ON
Acceptance of the grant funds provide BFD the opportunity to purchase additional fire suppression equipment that will enhance BFD’s operational readiness and effectiveness during wildland incidents.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing Acceptance of the Department of California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant for $131,650 and Amending the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget by Appropriating Funds

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AUTHORIZING

THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE THE DEPARTMENT OF

CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL CANNABIS TAX FUND GRANT PROGRAM AGREEMENT AND ANY FUTURE AMENDMENTS, ACCEPTING $ 131,650 IN GRANT FUNDS, AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR (FY) 202 6-27 BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING FUNDS.

BACKGROUND
In 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act, which established funding for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to award grants to local governments and qualified nonprofit organizations. The Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP) aims to reduce impaired driving crashes, increase public awareness of the dangers of impaired driving, and enhance the safety of California's roadways. The Burbank Police Department (Department) has been awarded $131,650 in competitive grant funding through the CTFGP.

DISCUSSION
The Department is committed to improving traffic safety within the City by reducing the POLICE

DEPARTMENT
Consent Calendar
Item #6
number of traffic collisions and subsequent injuries and fatalities. A primary collision factor 55 2
nationwide is impaired driving, including driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs such as cannabis. To address this issue, the Department conducts specialized enforcement details, such as driving under the influence (DUI) saturation patrols , to identify and remove impaired drivers from City roadways. These operations also enhance officer visibility, enforce traffic laws, and educate the public about the dangers and consequences of impaired driving. Together, these efforts help deter impaired driving and reduce alcohol and drug-related traffic collisions.

In 2025, the Department made 259 DUI -related arrests. The Department also conducts multiple DUI checkpoints each year at locations with a history of DUI -related collisions and arrests, screening an average of more than 600 vehicles per checkpoint. These highly visible and well -publicized enforcement operations serve as both an effective deterrent and an opportunity to educate the public about impaired driving.

The Department has been awarded a grant from the CHP CTFGP totaling $131,650 to support these ongoing traffic safety initiatives. Grant funds will be allocated as follows:
• $24,130 for the purchase of DUI checkpoint equipment and supplies, including portable canopies, pattern lights, and educational and public outreach materials. • $69,520 to support DUI checkpoints and specialized DUI/traffic enforcement saturation patrols, including personnel costs. A portion of these funds will also be used to produce and edit public service announcements and support community education and outreach efforts related to impaired driving. • $38,000 for the purchase of a DUI radar trailer, including radar and electronic display equipment and installation, vehicle outfitting, and department decals. The trailer will be used as a mobile traffic -safety and DUI deterrence tool to increase visibility in areas with speeding or impaired -driving concerns, provide real -time speed feedback to drivers, and support traffic enforcement and public education efforts.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Authorizing acceptance of grant funds from the CHP CTFGP has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Department has been awarded a total of $131,650 in grant funding. This is a one- time grant allocation with no requirement for matching funds from the City. Staff is requesting Council authority to amend the FY 2026-27 Adopted Budget by accepting CHP 56 3
CTFGP grant funds and appropriating $131,650 from revenue account 001.PD000.48010.0000.25389.000000 (General Fund, Police Department, Other Intergovernmental, None, CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant) to expenditure account 001.PD01A.62300.0000.25389 (General Fund, Police Department, Special Department Supplies, CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant).

CONCLUSION
Approval of the CHP CTFGP grant agreement will enhance the Department’s efforts to reduce the impacts of impaired driving through education, enforcement, and prevention initiatives. The grant supports the Department’s ongoing commitment to improving traffic safety within the City by reducing collisions, injuries, and fatalities associated with drivers impaired by alcohol and/or controlled substances.

Burbank Police Department

The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project’s merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate.

Project Description
The Burbank Police Department (BPD) is requesting grant funding from the California Cannabis Tax Fund for 16 DUI saturation patrols, 1 DUI checkpoint, 1 traffic safety presentation, 1 public service announcement, and some equipment/resources to conduct impaired driving (under the influence) prevention education/patrols.

Problem Statement
Traffic safety is always a primary concern for the City of Burbank, especially as the daytime population more than doubles to 250,000 from the 103,000 residential population. The Burbank Police Department Traffic Bureau monitors the traffic trends throughout the City and strategically deploys its motor officers to provide police presence and enforcement to high-collision intersections and other areas of concern. The Burbank Police Officers work closely with the community and incorporates their feedback and concerns in our enforcement strategies and educational opportunities to promote safe driving behaviors.

The Burbank Police Department is committed to reducing injuries and deaths in traffic collisions and staffed a specialized enforcement team targeting impaired drivers on weekend nights from January 2022 to August 2025. The team was effective in reducing DUI-related collisions as there was an 11.01% decrease in DUI collisions in Burbank from 2024 to 2025. In 2022, the DUI enforcement team helped our department arrest the highest number of impaired drivers in 2022 which has consistently declined over the past four years: 331 DUI arrests in 2022; 322 DUI arrests in 2023; 282 DUI arrests in 2024; 255 DUI arrests in 2025.

Like most California law enforcement agencies, the Burbank Police Department has experienced staffing issues and had to suspend the DUI enforcement team so that the specialized officers could be reassigned back to our patrol unit. Currently, our department is almost fully staffed with approximately 20 officers in various stages of training who will be deployed within the next year. We plan to use grant funding to hire officers on overtime to target driving under the influence until our department has enough police officers to staff patrol and our specialized DUI enforcement team.

The Burbank Police Department believes in education as the other significant component for traffic safety compliance. The Burbank Police Traffic Bureau provides educational presentations to local organizations, schools, and churches about the dangers of driving under the influence. Historically, the presentations were targeted to young drivers in high school or youth groups at local churches about the dangers of driving under the influence with video footage of real DUI/DUID collisions in Burbank. The presentations include statistics on injuries and death rates and explains legal and financial consequences for convicted impaired drivers. The Traffic Bureau also creates and publishes traffic safety social media content, such as in- house scripted and produced public service announcements with real footage from our officers in the field, on City websites, Nixle, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Nextdoor.com to educate the public on traffic safety. Our department finds the video public service announcements reach a wider audience at a much faster rate since social media platforms allow others to reshare/repost our filmed safety campaigns.

Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
16 DUI Saturation Patrols (Q1=5, Q2=3, Q3=4, Q4=4): aim to have less than 100 DUI -related collisions.

1 DUI Checkpoint (Q3=1): reduce DUI/DUID by 5% which will reduce the impaired drivers in the community.

1 Educational Presentation (Q4=1): want to engage with the community and educate young drivers on the dangers of driving under the influence and hopefully aim to have less than 100 DUI -related collisions.

1 Educational Video (Q2=1): we will film and edit video content to deter drinking under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs (and highlight our partnership with the CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program) that can be reposted throughout the years.
67 Schedule A

1 DUI radar trailer with a changeable message board: (Q1=purchase, Q2=receive & "DUI enforcement" and "Don't Drink and Drive" imaging printed on radar trailer, Q2-4=use to complete DUI checkpoints)

2 lights for DUI checkpoints (Q1=purchase, Q2=receive, Q2-4=use to complete DUI checkpoints): The officers need the lights for visibility on the line to be able to talk to drivers that enter the DUI checkpoint and provide them with our DUI/DUID educational pamphlets.

2 generators for checkpoints (Q1 = purchase, Q2 = receive Q2-4 = use to complete DUI checkpoints and education): We need generators to power our lights and heaters for DUI checkpoints.

2 outdoor space heaters for DUI checkpoints: (Q1 = purchase, Q2 = receive Q2- 4 = use to complete DUI checkpoints and education): Officers and civilians would benefit from heaters during DUI checkpoints during the colder months as the DUI checkpoints happen at night and into the early morning hours. The heaters would kept in the seating area where the civilians usually record statistics, such as the number of cars that pass through the checkpoint, time spent in the queue, and officers usually take their break in the seating area.

60 Checkpoint pattern lights (similar to flares): (Q1 = purchase, Q2 = receive Q2- 4 = use to complete DUI checkpoints and education): This will direct the cars to be screened during the DUI checkpoint or directed to the secondary line for field sobriety tests.

2 tents (Q1 = purchase, Q2 = receive Q2-4 = use to complete DUI checkpoints and education): Civilians are kept in a seating area where the civilians usually record statistics, such as the number of cars that pass through the checkpoint, time spent in the queue, and officers usually take their break in the seating area.

Project Performance Evaluation
The Burbank Police Department Traffic Bureau will monitor and analyze the DUI saturation patrols and the DUI (for both drugs and alcohol) arrests, standardized field sobriety tests administered, stopped vehicles/contacts made, and citations issued. The BPD Traffic Bureau will compare the statistics from the grant-funded enforcement details to the rest of the patrol unit to demonstrate the effectiveness of targeted enforcement to deter impaired driving in our city and ultimately reduce DUI-related collisions. The data will help us justify our request to permanent staff, and hopefully expand the specialized DUI enforcement team. Comprehensive traffic collision data, in comparison to previous years, are published on our department's website on a monthly and annual basis. Our department reviews the traffic statistics on a weekly basis to identify successes and opportunities for improvement to promote roadway safety.

Our department records separate statistics for each DUI checkpoint, such as the number of vehicles are screened, vehicles are pulled into the secondary line for field sobriety tests, arrests, and citations. As we publish DUI checkpoint results on social media, we measure how many accounts are reached and can gauge the public response by the number of interactions on social media; our agency also tracks the the public engagement for other traffic safety content. At community events and educational presentations, our police officers record the number of attendees, approximate demographics, prominent public figures assess, and the responses from the community, especially in terms of praises and suggestions.

Program Sustainability
The Burbank Police Department is committed to providing education and enforcement regardless of staffing levels and available funding. We are currently in the process of training 20 new officers who will be able to provide the necessary enforcement for our city.

We will continue to attend community events and engage with the public, but this additional funding will allow us resources to create educational resources that can be reused in the future when there are less funding and personnel available. Our department also posts and/or reposts traffic safety campaigns on all social media/web platforms on targeted dates. For instance, we post "don't drink and drive" messages and content during major holidays that promote drinking, such as Christmas, New Years, Cinco de Mayo, and Superbowl Sundays.

68 Schedule A

Administrative Support
The Burbank Police Department has a Finance Bureau, who processes payroll and expenditures for the department, and administers the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grants for over ten years. In the past five years, the traffic grants have been administered by the Traffic Lieutenant, Traffic Sergeant, and analyst. Recently, we trained another analyst to assist in managing the traffic grants and will continue to train additional personnel who express interest in grant management. 69 Schedule B

Other Direct Costs

DUI Checkpoint Materials & Supplies
$14,530.00

Pattern Lights
Instead of using flares during our checkpoint, we would like to use pattern lights to direct vehicles through the checkpoint. [10 sets * 6 pattern lights/set * $23/light]

Generator
We need a generator to power our radar trailer with changeable message sign for our DUI checkpoints. We also need another generator to power the lights so that the officers can safely screen vehicles that pass through the checkpoint. [2 generators * $1,400/generator]

Space Heaters
Our DUI checkpoints end early in the morning and during the cold months, the officers on break and civilians who record the stats and collect data need heaters in the seating area. [2 space heaters * $575 each]

Tower Light/Charger
2 Milwaukee MX Fuel Rocket Tower Light Chargers to provide lighting and visibility to our officers who will be screening vehicles passing through the DUI checkpoints. [2 light towers * $4,600/each light tower]

Pop-Up Tents (Includes Outfitting)
$6,600.00

We need tents during our checkpoint for our officers to rest and our civilians to collect data; tents provide visibility to drivers so they do not collide with the personnel. Tents also provide additional shelter/protection from weather conditions. When not in use during the checkpoints, we can use the tent when we attend outdoor community events like National Night Out or Police and Fire Day. [2 tents * $2,300 each tent] Our tents will need proper branding with Burbank Police Department logos.

Education/Outreach Materials & Supplies
$3,000.00

We will need to print impaired driving pamphlets to distribute at our checkpoints, educational presentations, and community events.

Quantity: 9000 educational pamphlets
Unit cost: $300 + $30(taxes)/1000 double-sided 8.5"X11" pamphlets Total cost: $3000
Correlating CTFGP activity: DUI checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols, and educational presentation. (Officers will distribute to the public during these project activities.) 9,000 pamphlets * $330 per 1,000 pamphlets = $2,970 (rounded up to $3,000)

71 Schedule B-1
Budget Narrative
Burbank Police Department
Prior to engaging in grant-funded Saturation Patrols, DUI Checkpoints, or other enforcement activities in areas where the grantee does not have primary traffic jurisdiction, the grantee should consult with the agency having primary traffic jurisdiction.

Personnel
DUI Checkpoint
$30,000.00
We generally need at least 20 officers to work the DUI checkpoint, which is normally six hours; all the officers attend briefing and help set up the checkpoint for at least 2.5 hours and another hour to take down the checkpoint. The past few DUI checkpoints that we've conducted have been around $27,000, but we had a handful of cars that needed to be pulled to the secondary line for field sobriety tests to be administered, and we were left with only a couple of officers to screen vehicles through the checkpoint. [20 officers * 9.67 hours each * $155 average hourly rate]. The average rate is based on the expected FY26/27 fee scheduled or billed officers.

DUI Saturation Patrol
$32,000.00
16 DUI/DUID Saturation Patrols = $2,000 each [2 police officers * $125/hour * 8 hours = $2,000 per patrol] Education/Outreach
$2,520.00
1 Traffic Educational Presentation = $2,520 [3 officers * $140/hour * 6 hours] Filming and Editing Public Service Announcement
$5,000.00
Our department finds social media content and engaging videos with safety campaigns the most effective with our community who have been highly dependent on social media. Our goal is to create, film, and edit videos promoting our anti-impaired driving campaigns. We would love to advertise our partnership with the CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program to combat drivers under the influence. We were approximating 32 hours to be divided between our police officers, who are usually hired on 4-hour minimums to film and edit video footage.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Enabling Property Assessed Clean Energy Financing Options for Eligible Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Water Conservation, and Seismic Improvements

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK CONSENTING

TO THE INCLUSION OF PROPERTIES WITHIN THE TERRITORY OF THE CITY IN

THE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (CSCDA) OPEN PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY (PACE) PROGRAMS;

AUTHORIZING THE CSCDA TO ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FROM PROPERTY

OWNERS, CONDUCT CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT PROCEEDINGS AND LEVY CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENTS WITHIN THE TERRITORY OF THE CITY; AND AUTHORIZING RELATED ACTIONS (Attachment 1).

BACKGROUND
State law authorizes contract assessment districts in charter and general law cities to provide financing for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and water conservation improvements to qualified property owners (among other measures with a communal sustainability or resiliency benefit). A property owner voluntarily enters into a contractual agreement with one of the Joint Power Authority (JPA) assessment districts in which they reside to access financing by securing a lien on their property and repaying it as a special tax or assessment on their property tax bill. This financing mechanism is referred to as PACE. PACE assessments are repaid by the property owner through the property tax bill and may increase escrow or impound payments. Depending on lender requirements, the Consent Calendar
Item #7
74 2
outstanding assessment balance may need to be paid off at the time of sale or refinancing.

PACE financing can be set up and administered under Assembly Bill (AB) 811 (2008), which allows qualifying upgrades to be financed through an assessment district.

Subsequent legislation expanded projects eligible for financing to include water efficiency improvements, electric vehicle charging stations, seismic improvements, and wildfire resiliency. Additional l egislation further expanded AB 811 and provide d for additional consumer protections:

AB 2693 (2016) enhanced disclosures to homeowners participating in PACE programs and guarantees the right to cancel PACE financing within three business days of execution. AB 2693 also prohibits marketing promises of monetary or percentage representations of increased value to a property owner regarding the effect the financed improvements will have on the market value of the property unless the market value is estimated using one of the specified methods.

Senate Bill (SB) 242 (2017) requires a recorded telephone call to residential consumers to confirm key terms of the agreement. This call and contractual documents must be available in one of five enumerated non -English languages as necessary. SB 242 also prohibits kickbacks t o contractors for steering consumers into a particular program and any misrepresentation as to the tax deductibility of a PACE assessment contract. PACE providers are prevented from disclosing to contractors the amount of funds the property is eligible for under a PACE assessment under this law.

AB 1284 (2017) established state oversight for California’s PACE program (through the regulator – California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation) and requires PACE administrators that are not local governments to obtain a license under California Financing Law. They are also held accountable for screening, training, and monitoring the contractors and sales reps enrolled in their programs. Lastly, PACE providers have to determine a consumer’s ability to repay, including income verification, before entering into a PACE assessment.

SB 465 (2018) allows for fire resiliency measures to be financed under enabling PACE legislation.

AB 1551 (2020) prohibits penalties for early prepayment, prohibits PACE financing with reverse mortgages, and requires financing documents to be provided to the homeowner as a printed copy unless the homeowner opts out.

AB 2471 (2020) extends the right to cancel on all home improvement contracts, including PACE, for persons 65 years and older from three to five days. 75 3
AB 790 (2021) extends laws regulating unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices with regard to the home solicitation of senior citizens for home improvements funded by PACE.

California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation Regulations (2021) further regulated the PACE Administrator license and application process, advertising standards and standardized disclosures, complaints processes and procedures, dishonest dealings and misleading statements, and PACE enrollment standards and processes.

DISCUSSION
The City of Burbank (City) is a member of CSCDA, a statewide JPA sponsored by the California State Association of Counties and the League of California Cities. CSCDA has established two Open PACE Programs: the CaliforniaFIRST Program and the CSCDA Open PACE Program. Some of the more than 80 eligible improvements under the Programs may include energy -efficient heating, air -conditioning, heat-pump systems, solar systems, battery storage systems, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, indoor and outdoor water conservation, roofing, insulation, and windows, sewer laterals, seismic strengthening, and wildfire resiliency improvements.

To provide Burbank property owners with access to PACE financing options, the Burbank City Council (Council) is asked to admit licensed PACE providers by adopting a resolution approving the CSCDA Open PACE Program s to operate in the City. The proposed Resolution would allow property owners in the City to access PACE financing options for these and other PACE-eligible property improvements.

The PACE Program is not a Burbank Water and Power (BWP) program and will not be administered by BWP or other City staff. Program administration, including property owner applications, financing arrangements, contractual assessments, and related administrative responsibilities, will be handled by CSCDA and its authorized PACE program administrators.

PACE offers an alternative to traditional means of financing property improvements, such as paying cash, taking a home equity line of credit (HELOC), or using credit cards. PACE financing eligibility is primarily based on property equity and the applicant's ability to pay, rather than the applicant's creditworthiness. PACE financing has fixed-term interest rates with terms generally longer than those of other private and/or unsecured loans, but equal to the average useful life of the improvement being undertaken. Some other advantages of PACE financing include 100% financing for eligible improvements and the reliability of pre-approved, vetted, trained , and strictly monitored contractors. Participation in PACE financing is voluntary.
76 4
CSCDA (and not the City) will be responsible for entering into voluntary contractual assessment agreements with participating property owners, levying the voluntary contractual assessments, issuing bonds to finance the improvements, and taking remedial actions in the event of delinquent assessment payments. The proposed Resolution expressly provides that the City will not be responsible for the conduct of any assessment proceedings, the levy of assessments, any required remedial action in the case of delinquencies in assessment payments, or the issuance, sale or administration of any bonds issued in connection with CSCDA Open PACE.

Enabling the PACE availability within the City by approving licensed program administrators to operate within Burbank will create a competitive marketplace that provides a variety of financing options with more favorable terms to home and business owners. Doing so may also incentivize more property owners to undertake improvements, resulting in the creation of more renewable energy and local jobs, a reduction in energy use, greenhouse gas emissions , and water consumption, among other improvement categories.

Staff has identified approximately 49 Los Angeles County cities that have joined CSCDA’s Open-PACE Programs, including: Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, Baldwin Park, Bell, Claremont, Commerce, Covina, Cudahy, Duarte, El Monte, Gardena, Glendale, Glendora, Inglewood, La Canada Flintridge, La Puente, La Verne, Lancaster, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Lynwood, Montebello, Monterey Park, Norwalk, Pasadena, Palmdale, Paramount, Redondo Beach, Santa Fe Springs, Santa Monica, Torrance, Walnut, West Covina, and West Hollywood.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of the proposed Resolution and opting into the CSCDA Open PACE Programs is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act, because the action constitutes a government funding mechanism and does not involve any commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, as contemplated by Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(4).

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts associated with the recommended actions. There is no cost to the City to opt into the Programs described in this report. BWP and other City staff will not administer the PACE Programs. All administrative costs are intrinsic to the program and included in participating property owners’ voluntary contractual assessments. The City will have no administrative, marketing, or financial responsibilities associated with this program, supporting the Council’s strategic goal of maintaining fiscal responsibility. 77 5

CONCLUSION
The proposed Resolution would authorize participation in the CSCDA Open PACE Programs, expanding access to voluntary financing opportunities for residential and commercial property owners seeking to complete energy efficiency, electrification, renewable energy, water conservation, resiliency, and related building improvements.

Participation by individual property owners in the program is entirely voluntary, with all financing, administration, underwriting, contractor oversight, and assessment management conducted by CSCDA and participating program administrators. The proposed action would not create a financial obligation or ongoing administrative burden for the City.

By increasing access to financing for clean energy , building electrification , and water conservation improvements, the proposed program supports the Council’s sustainability and resiliency objectives and advances implementation of the City’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (“GGRP” ). These include Building Energy Strategy BE -1.2a, which encourages innovative retrofit packages and financing of energy efficiency and electrification upgrades in existing buildings, and Strategy BE -1.2c, which supports equitable access to efficiency programs and finding ways to overcome procedural hurdles, including credit checks. Adoption of the Resolution would provide an additional tool to assist property owners in investing in energy-saving and greenhouse gas-reducing improvements that support the City’s long-term environmental and climate goals.

91 Consumer
Protections for
Residential PACE
Residential customers faced concerns about understanding financing terms, risks of property tax assessments, and ensuring projects meet safety and quality standards. Without protections, homeowners risk unexpected costs or disputes.

Once the subject of debate, PACE in California has operated under the strict regulatory oversight of the California Department of Financial Protection & Innovation (DFPI), the state's consumer watchdog agency, for the past six years. Today, PACE is widely recognized as offering some of the strongest consumer protections in the home-improvement financing industry nationwide.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: August 25, 2026
TO: Justin Hess, City Manager
FROM: Mandip Kaur Samra, General Manager, Burbank Water and Power VIA: Richard Wilson, Assistant General Manager, Water Systems BY: Asif Sheikh, Manager Water Engineering & Planning
Melissa Hourany, Senior Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: Approval of a Joint Powers Agreement Establishing the Southern California Regional Water Authority and Authorizing the Burbank Water and Power General Manager to Designate a Governing Board Representative

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Joint Powers Agreement ( Agreement) establishing the Southern California Regional Water Authority (Authority) and authorizing the Burbank Water and Power (BWP) General Manager, as the City Manager’s designee, to execute the Agreement and any ancillary documents necessary to implement the Agreement, including minor amendments, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney’s Office and authorizing the BWP General Manager to appoint a Governing Board Representative to serve on the board of the newly formed Authority.

BACKGROUND
Water agencies across California face growing challenges in delivering safe, affordable, and reliable water service due to climate change, including increasingly unpredictable hydrologic conditions, prolonged and intense drought, hotter and drier weather, declining snowpack, sea level rise, and more extreme wildfires. These challenges underscore the importance of regional water management strategies that provide multi -agency benefits and economies of scale that individual agencies cannot easily achieve on their own.

Regional strategies for ensuring agencies can deliver reliable water service may include

joint planning, emergency preparedness, water use efficiency and conservation, system 95 2
interconnections, water exchanges, groundwater storage and banking, and development of local supplies such as stormwater capture, water recycling, brackish groundwater desalting, and seawater desalination.

Under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Gov. Code § 6500 et seq.), public agencies may form a joint powers authority to exercise powers common to the member agencies. Such an authority can pool resources, share risks, and implement complex projects more efficiently. While a joint powers authority operates as an independent public entity, it is typically governed by representatives from its member agencies.

DISCUSSION
BWP and seven partner public water agencies propose forming the Southern California Regional Water Authority. This Authority would provide a framework for collaboration on regional water management strategies that offer shared benefits and efficiencies.

Member Agencies would have the flexibility to participate in specific projects in accordance with the Authority’s proposed bylaws.

The eight proposed Member Agencies collectively serve more than six million people:

1. Burbank Water and Power

2. Calleguas Municipal Water District

3. Las Virgenes Municipal Water District

4. Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 29, Malibu

5. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power

6. Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency

7. Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District

8. West Basin Municipal Water District
The Authority would be governed by a board composed of one representative from each Member Agency. Staff recommends that the City Council (Council) authorize the BWP General Manager to appoint such representative. Initially, the B WP G eneral Manager would serve as Burbank’s representative on the governing board with an Assistant General Manager as the first alternate and the Senior Manager – BWP Water Systems as the second alternate. The length of the term has not yet been determined, as the bylaws have not been drafted and will need to be approved by the Authority board. The Authority board would also appoint one Member Agency to serve as the Authority’s Administering Agent that would be responsible for day‑to‑day operations.

In August 2023, the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with OceanWell to advance submerged reverse osmosis (SRO), an innovative seawater desalination technology designed to address environmental concerns associated with traditional coastal desalination. The MOU outlines a potential 96 3
commercial-scale SRO project in Santa Monica Bay, Water Farm No. 1, which could diversify regional water supplies.

Seven of the eight prospective Member Agencies, excluding West Basin Municipal Water District, are already collaborating on Water Farm No. 1. The project’s scale and multi - jurisdictional nature require a governance structure capable of supporting shared decision-making, improving efficiency, maximizing grant funding opportunities, and ensuring broad regional benefits. The Authority is proposed as the vehicle through which this and other regional water projects may be studied and potentially implemented.

FISCAL IMPACT
Forming and joining the Authority is not expected to have a significant financial impact , as the associated fees will be determined through the establishment of the bylaws set by the Authority Board, and are estimated to be less than $5,000 for minor administrative costs that will be shared among the Member Agencies and are included in the Fiscal Year 2026–27 Adopted Budget.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends approval of the Agreement establishing the Authority and authoriz ing the BWP General Manager to execute the Agreement and related documents and amendments, subject to approval by the City Attorney’s Office, and authorization of the BWP General Manager to designate a Governing Board Representative to serve on the board of the newly formed Joint Powers Authority. Establishing the Authority will facilitate multi-agency collaboration needed to address increasing regional water supply challenges and will support implementation of strategies that provide shared benefits and economies of scale.

1 STAFF REPORT
DATE: August 25, 2026
TO: Justin Hess, City Manager
FROM: Mandip Kaur Samra, General Manager, Burbank Water and Power BY: Richard Wilson, Assistant General Manager, Water Systems SUBJECT: Approval of the Exchange Water Delivery Agreement between the San Diego County Water Authority and the City of Burbank

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Exchange Water Delivery Agreement (Agreement) between the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) and the City of Burbank (City) (Attachment 1) and authorize the Burbank Water and Power (BWP) General Manager, as the City Manager’s designee, to execute the Agreement and any other ancillary documents, including amendments, in form and substance satisfactory to the City Attorney’s Office.

BACKGROUND
The SDCWA and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) recently ended a decades-long lawsuit over rates and charges. A settlement agreement was made that provides an exchange mechanism for the SDCWA to partner with other MWD member a gencies to transfer water . The settlement agreement also clearly defined a process that the SDCWA would go through if any exchange supplies were made available to MWD member agencies. The SDCWA must first offer the supplies to MWD member agencies, and then any additional supplies would be offered to MWD. Burbank wishes to purchase from the SDCWA 5,000 acre-feet per year of untreated water through 2047.

DISCUSSION
Burbank is 100% dependent on imported water from the State Water Project and the Colorado River. California's future water supplies are strained by a rapidly changing, increasingly unpredictable climate. Both the state and MWD will need to invest heavily in

WATER AND
POWER
Consent Calendar
Item #9
infrastructure projects over the next several decades that will enhance water reliability for 121
2 our region. MWD’s water rates will increase in proportion to the investments made in our infrastructure. At the same time, Burbank’s water demands will grow as the C ity builds new housing. Therefore, it is imperative that Burbank diversifies its water supply portfolio and reduce its total dependence on MWD’s rates and charges. The proposed Agreement does that, and more.

First, Burbank does not have to invest in capital projects to get water from SDCWA , nor does Burbank have to wait for it. The SDCWA invested in long-term contracts and projects at a point in time when demands within San Diego County were growing and reliability was a paramount concern and invested $1 billion to build the largest desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere. Following the 2012- 2016 statewide drought, the San Diego region continued to invest heavily in local supply projects, such as water -use efficiency, recycled water, and potable reuse. At the same time, local conservation efforts led to a significant decline in their demand. The lower -than-anticipated demand and increased local supplies, combined with long- term water supply contracts, provided the SDCWA with a surplus of water that can be exchanged with other agencies on a long-term basis.

Second, the Burbank-SDCWA Water Exchange represents a strategic partnership that provides Burbank with access to one of the most reliable, diverse, and secure water supply portfolios in Southern California. By investing in the stability and certainty of the SDCWA 's supply system, Burbank gains long- term water security backed by proven conservation programs, infrastructure investments, and legal protections spanning decades. The SDCWA’s supplies maintained 100% of deliveries throughout the state's driest period on r ecord and allowed the region to avoid severe restrictions imposed elsewhere in California.

Third, this is a historic agreement, the first of its kind within the MWD system, and it ushers in a new era of cooperation – a nascent water market that allows agencies to store and transfer water, with MWD providing the backbone infrastructure to do so.

The terms and benefits of the Agreement are described below:
• 5,000 acre-feet of water would be available for the City to purchase from SDCWA in addition to the City’s other imported water sources, improving supply reliability regardless of dry conditions or droughts.
• To lessen the impact on the Water Fund’s cash flow position, the A greement allows purchases to be ramped up over time, starting with minimum purchases of 850 acre-feet in each of the first two years and increasing to 5,000 acre-feet by 2036. If less than 5,000 acre- feet of water is purchased in a year but the City requires additional water, the City still has the option to purchase up to the total amount of 5,000 acre-feet in that year from a reserve that is set aside for the City’s use. A reservation charge of $150 per acre-foot is applied to the amount of water 122
3 In addition to supply reliability, the Agreement offers clear and predictable financial terms through its transparent pricing and flexibility structure as described in Attachment 1 and summarized below:
• Price is based on defined pricing schedules and not subject to a rate- setting process.
• Price escalates on Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflators, which have historically been less volatile than water rates.
• Supplies avoid MWD's Readiness-to-Serve charge, providing an additional long- term benefit.
• Burbank would be given access to store up to 5,000 acre- feet of water in the SDCWA’s system and be able to call on the water when needed , thus providing operational flexibility and gives Burbank an additional pool of reliability beyond our base purchases.
• Stored water would be delivered via an exchange with MWD. • A partnership with the SDCWA is a mutually beneficial partnership for long- term reliability and predictability.

The Burbank–SDCWA Water Exchange provides a rare and forward‑looking opportunity for Burbank to enhance long‑term water reliability, cost stability, and operational flexibility.

Burbank can reduce its dependence on MWD’s rate fluctuations while securing access to drought‑proof supplies. This Agreement positions the City to meet future demand growth with greater confidence and resilience.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the reserved each year and escalates per the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers ( CPI-U) for water and sewerage. Additionally, if the City does not need its total minimum purchase amount of water in a given year, the City may defer delivery of a portion of the minimum purchase amount and receive that deferred portion over the next two calendar years.
• Supplies are classified as local supplies and not subject to allocation by MWD. • The SDCWA maintains a highly reliable supply portfolio that includes senior-right Colorado River supplies and desalination.
• The City will receive water through access to $3 billion in existing infrastructure without upfront capital costs.
• Pay only for water delivered or reserved, not for building the infrastructure system to deliver it.
environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, 123
4 and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this A greement includes annual costs for delivered water based on an escalating Supply Price and Exchange Price, as well as Reservation Charges for water reserved but not delivered in the early years of the Agreement, as outlined in Exhibit C of Attachment 1. During the initial years of the Agreement, a significant portion of the annual 5,000 acre‑foot allocation is reserved rather than delivered, resulting in a cost structure that combines both delivered ‑water charges and lower ‑cost Reservation Charges. Over time, reserved volumes decline and ultimately drop to zero beginning in 2036, shifting annual expenditures to primarily delivery ‑based costs. Although Reservation Charges decrease as reserved volumes phase out, total annual costs increase as the City transitions to paying the full delivered ‑water rate for all 5,000 acre ‑feet, which is substantially higher than the Reservation Charge and escalates annually.

All major cost components escalate annually with the CPI‑U Water and Sewerage index, which is assumed at an average of 3 percent for planning purposes , versus six percent to 12 percent annual escalation for MWD water . Over time, the exchange rate price for water purchased under the Agreement and predictable escalation is expected to be lower than MWD’s charges (factoring the cost of MWD ’s Pure Water Southern California Project, investments in the Delta Conveyance Project, Sites Reservoir and their annual capital and maintenance spending) , which could increase beyond MWD’s current projections.

An initial five ‑year cost breakdown based on the delivered and reserved quantities in Exhibit C of Attachment 1 is included below:

2028 1,500 3,500 $1,038.62 $703.00 $159.14 $3,169,404
2029 1,800 3,200 $1,069.78 $737.00 $163.91 $3,776,712
2030 2,150 2,850 $1,101.87 $772.00 $168.83 $4,509,982
Additionally, the Readiness to Serve Charge paid to MWD (a fixed charge separate from the water supply cost) is reduced by approximately $55 million over the 20- year term 124
5 because BWP is buying less water from MWD (a benefit to having the exchange water counted as a local supply) and is not included here.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends approval of the Agreement and authorization for the BWP General Manager to execute the Agreement, and any amendments thereto, as the proposed Exchange Water Delivery Agreement provides Burbank with an opportunity to enhance long‑term water reliability, diversify supply sources, and reduce exposure to future MWD rate increases without requiring new capital investments. By partnering with the SDCWA, Burbank will secure access to a highly reliable and drought ‑resilient supply, along with flexible storage options that strengthen the City’s ability to manage future water needs.

This Agreement represents an innovative, forward ‑thinking approach to regional water management and positions Burbank to meet the demands of a growing community while maintaining stability and predictability in its water supply.

Regulatory Curtailments in any Exchange Water supplies imposed on Seller resulting in under -delivery of Exchange Water to Seller in a Contract Year will result in proportional reductions by Seller to Buyer’s Exchange Water for the same Contract Year unless an alternative arrangement is agreed to by the Parties in writing.
c. Operational Constraints and Shortfall Protocol. If Seller or MWD forecasts a shortfall or experiences an operational constraint, including a Regulatory Curtailment, in advance of or during a Contract Year that will or may cause under-delivery of Exchange Water to Buyer, it will notify Buyer within five (5) business days of such a forecast, and the Parties will meet and confer on rescheduling deliveries within the same Contract Year, if feasible, or in future Contract Years, all subject to capacity and other limitations in this Agreement. Notwithstanding Buyer’s risk of loss under Section 16.a., in no event shall Buyer be required to pay for Exchange Water not delivered .

Further, if Seller does not deliver Exchange Water as required by this Agreement as a result of a shortfall or operational constraints, and such Exchange Water is delivered in a later Contract Year, Buyer shall not be required to pay the Reservation Charge. If feasible, Seller will direct delivery of Exchange Water to Buyer within three (3) years of Buyer’s payment for the same, unless a longer timeframe is mutually agreed to by the Parties; if it cannot do so, Seller will refund Buyer the amounts paid within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s request for the same. Such an event will not serve to terminate this Agreement or relieve either Party of its obligations herein.

1 STAFF REPORT
DATE: August 25, 2026
TO: Justin Hess, City Manager
FROM: Patrick Prescott, Community Development Director
VIA: Fred Ramirez, Assistant Community Development Director BY: Leonard Bechet, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: Approval of an Eighth Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement with Elizabeth Moule & Stefanos Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists, for the Downtown Burbank Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan; and Amending the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget

RECOMMENDATION

1. Approve a n Eighth Amendment to Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Elizabeth Moule & Stefanos Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists (Attachment 1) for the Downtown Burbank Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan.

2. Amend Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Budget by appropriating $249,834.

BACKGROUND
On May 5, 2020, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Elizabeth Moule & Stefanos Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists (Moule & Polyzoides or Consultant), for preparation of the Downtown Burbank Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan and the associated environmental review. The original PSA budget was $1,125,000.

Subsequent amendments to the PSA were approved as follows:

COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT
Consent Calendar
Item #10
• First Amendment (September 8, 2020): Updated the Consultant’s business name and extended the term to May 5, 2021.
• Second Amendment (April 6, 2021): Further updated the Consultant’s business name and maintained the term extension to May 5, 2022.
144
2 Approval of an Eighth Amendment is now requested to extend the term of the PSA to June 28, 2027, and increase the Project budget to support additional work necessary for completion of the Specific Plan document and the associated environmental analysis.

The proposed amendment would increase the Project budget by $249,834, resulting in a revised total of $1,937,334.

DISCUSSION
Staff is requesting that the City Council approve an Eighth Amendment to the PSA with Moule & Polyzoides to extend the term of the PSA to June 28, 2027, and to increase the project budget by $249,834. Based on the work completed to date, it was determined that an increase to the Project budget would be necessary for Moule & Polyzoides to account for additional technical analysis and public outreach needed to facilitate the completion of the required environmental analysis and the specific plan. The additional funds would be used to complete the following tasks:
• Third Amendment (November 16, 2021): Increased the Project budget by $22,000, resulting in a total of $1,147,000, and extended the term to November 16, 2022. • Fourth Amendment (November 1, 2022): Increased the Project budget by $226,500, resulting in a total of $1,373,500, and extended the term to December 31, 2023.
• Fifth Amendment (December 30, 2023): Extended the PSA term to January 31, 2024.
• Sixth Amendment (January 30, 2024): Increased the Project budget by $314,000, resulting in a total of $1,687,500, and extended the term to June 30, 2025. • Seventh Amendment (June 3, 2025): Extended the term of the PSA to June 29, 2026.

1. Provide additional project management due to the extension of the project schedule through June 2027.

2. Prepare the Sustainable Infrastructure Alternative (SIA), which will show how much growth the City can support through 2035 based on its existing electric power capacity and upgrades planned for the wastewater treatment plant.

3. Prepare the water and sewer demand spreadsheets for the Media District Specific Plan and the Golden State Specific Plan in order to enable Citywide sewer and water modeling that includes the growth potential of these two specific plans and the Downtown Burbank TOD Specific Plan.

4. Incorporate the SIA into the relevant sections of the Downtown Burbank TOD Specific Plan, including by adjusting the development potential, project phasing, and development assumptions.

5. Participate in additional rounds of Specific Plan review by City staff.

6. Incorporate the SIA into the project’s Environmental Impact Reports (EIR). 145
3 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This Report has no potential for resulting in a direct or indirect physical change to the environment and falls outside the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore not subject to CEQA pursuant to Section 15378 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. However, this staff report is related to the proposed Eighth Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement and Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget related to the continued processing of the Downtown Burbank TOD Specific Plan and associated General Plan Amendm ent Project. The Downtown Burbank TOD Specific Plan Project is subject to CEQA , and a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is being prepared for the Project.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of the Eighth Amendment to the PSA for the Downtown Burbank TOD Specific Plan is $249,834. Therefore, staff is requesting Council authority to amend the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget by appropriating $249,834 from revenue account number 001.ND000.30010.0000.00000 (General Fund, Non- Departmental, Unassigned Fund Balance) to expenditure account number 001.CD31A.62085.0000.23217 (General Fund, Community Development Planning, Other Professional Services, Downtown Burbank Specific Plan).

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends City Council approve the Eighth Amendment to the PSA with Moule & Polyzoides for the Downtown Burbank TOD Specific Plan. Approval of the amendment will ensure long -range planning projects are on track for completion by early 2027.

Approving the Eighth Amendment is also consistent with the Burbank2035 General Plan Land Use and Housing Element Goals as well as the Realization Plan Program LU-3 that provides for the update to the City’s existing specific plans as well as a creation of the Golden State Specific Plan while also increasing community participation in the City’s planning processes.

7. Prepare a cultural resources study that includes checking the state’s database of known archaeological and historic sites, called the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), through the information center at Cal State Fullerton to see if any cultural resources have already been recorded in the Specific Plan area.

8. To achieve consistency with the Media District and Golden State Specific Plan EIRs, prepare two additional EIR sections – Aesthetics and Energy.

9. Add to the EIR noise analysis by taking short -term and long -term noise measurements during peak hours to better understand the current noise conditions in the Specific Plan area.
