The $2 million in proceeds (net of a $99,960 issuance discount), along with interest earnings, funded a variety of capital improvements, including the construction of the community swimming pool, expansion of El Carro Park, improvements to City Hall, and construction of Parking Lot No. 3. All projects were completed by the end of Fiscal Year 1989 90. The COPs were fully repaid as of March 1, 2018.

Although there are currently no outstanding bonds or COPs issued by the CPIC, annual Board meetings must continue to be held to maintain the active status of the CPIC entity. ting.

This staff report serves as the annual report, and the Board meeting was properly noticed in accordance with legal requirements in the local newspaper.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Quarterly Review of Pension Stabilization Trust.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.

Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the report.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The purpose of the Pension Stabilization Trust is to accumulate, hold, and distribute pension plan assets for the exclusive benefit of retiree pensions within the meaning of IRS Code Section 115. Plan assets are irrevocable and may not be used for any purpose other than the purpose of the Trust. Withdrawal of plan assets is not permitted except to transfer to another trust or to reimburse the City for pension costs paid. in establishing the Pension Trust is to control long-term costs and volatility in the annual operating budget. The trust provides more flexibility for the City to level out contributions and mitigate year-to-year contribution volatility.

Plan contributions transfer assets to the Trust, and accordingly, plan assets are not carried on the City's books and are not subject to the City's investments policy. Discretionary Trustee Benefit Trust Company (BTC), with the advice of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Consulting Group, actively manages plan assets consistent with the Investment Policy Statement. The City's individual trust account is part of a larger Multiple Employer Trust administered by Keenan Financial Services and BTC, referred to as the California Public Entity Pension Stabilization Trust. BTC also provides the City with monthly, quarterly (Attachment A), and annual statements of activity of the City's account.

The Pension Stabilization Trust utilizes a Board of Authority that provides management and oversight of the Trust with participation by one individual per public agency. The fees are asset-based, paid monthly, deducted directly from the Trust account, and totaled 30 bps1 annually. This is competitive with other comparable plans. 1 Basis points pertain to interest rates. One basis point is equal to one one-hundredth of one percentage point (0.01%). Therefore, 100 basis points would be equivalent to 1%.

deposit of $76,850 on January 15, 2020. Throughout the investment period, several disbursements have occurred. On October 13, 2021, disbursements of $64,031 and $28,666 were made for fiscal years 2021 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, a significant disbursement of $200,000 was made in fiscal year 2024 to help offset the increase in unfunded accrued liability (UAL) contributions. Per the adopted budget, an additional $200,000 withdrawal is scheduled for July 2025 to further offset UAL cost increases. These transactions represent the key events in the timeline of deposits and disbursements associated with this investment.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The establishment of the Pension Stabilization Trust Fund is being developed consistent with Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code. Establishing the Irrevocable Pension Stabilization Trust Fund mitigates financial risk associated with expected increases in the CalPERS pension rates over the next decade.

BACKGROUND
The State Legislature passed into law the Mitigation Fee Act (AB 1600) that established California Government Code Section 66000 et seq. The City and County of Santa Barbara (County) subsequently adopted ordinances imposing Fire Protection Fees on any new development within the jurisdictions of the City and County, respectively. The mitigation fees are collected by the City and County for the benefit of the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District (District), which uses the fees to fund facilities and equipment. The City ordinance is codified in Chapter 8.26 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code. The County ordinance is codified in Chapter 15, Article IIIA of County Code. The District Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report and Master Facilities Plan for the CarpinteriaSummerland Fire Protection District (dated August 10, 2016) is the initial report that served as the nexus study in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act. Each year, the City and County are required to receive and review an annual report provided by the District. The annual review includes the District Development Impact Fee (DIF) fund description, Fee Schedule, Master Facilities Plan, and current fee ledger. Resolution No. 6342 (adopted August 26th, 2024) was the City Council last approval and acceptance of .

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6417, approving the formation of an ad hoc committee to advise on and appoint two council members to this committee.

Sample Motion: I move to (1) adopt Resolution No. 6417 approving the formation of an ad hoc and (2) appoint
Councilmember _______ and Councilmember _______ to this ad hoc committee.

BACKGROUND
In January 2025, the administration of President Donald J. Trump issued several orders and notices directing ICE agents to increase its enforcement of immigration law.1 These have entered the country legally. For months, these raids and deportations have occurred across the country.

Since early June these raids have intensified in and around Los Angeles, where masked federal agents, sometimes dressed in military-style clothing, conduct indiscriminate immigration operations. A special City Council meeting was scheduled for July 10, to immediate response to these events. On the morning of this meeting, border. A protest ensued where federal agents threw smoke grenades to disperse the crowd. The federal agents present, including ICE agents, detained an unknown number of agricultural workers and protesters.

Later that evening, the City Council held a pre-scheduled special meeting to discuss the the ICE raids. Hundreds of Carpinteria community members attended As part of
this meeting, the City Council took various actions, including: (1) adopting a proclamation to continue to uphold the California Values Act to ensure that all residents, workers, and visitors, regardless of immigration status, can engage with City services without fear of local enforcement based solely on immigration status;2 (2) authorize the appropriation of $10,000 from the General Fund to support nonprofit organizations serving residents impacted by recent federal immigration enforcement actions and to request staff to come back at the July 28, 2025, Council meeting for the Council to discuss narrowing the focus of the community service grant program so that it aligns with the needs of the community ; and (3) directing City staff to agendize creation of an ad hoc committee to advise on the The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to consider forming an ad hoc

DISCUSSION
Formation of Ad Hoc Committee
10, 2025 Special City Council Meeting,
staff has prepared Resolution No. 6417, which proposes formation of an ad hoc continued response to ICE activity. The following
section summarizes the proposed type, membership, and roles and responsibilities.

Type of Committee. Staff is proposing that this committee be formed as an ad hoc committee, which allows the committee to move forward without a set meeting schedule and without complying with the requirements of the Brown Act. This will allow the ad hoc committee to meet and respond to issues more quickly.

Recommendations for future actions will be presented to the City Council at an open and public meeting.

Membership. An ad hoc committee must be staffed with less than a quorum of City Council members. Because the City Council has five members, the ad hoc committee can be staffed with no more than two City Councilmembers. As part of the resolution under consideration, staff is requesting the City Council to appoint up to two councilmembers to this committee.

Roles and Responsibilities. As contemplated in the attached resolution, staff is proposing the ad hoc committee be tasked with researching and recommending to the City Council how the City should respond to the ICE activity. The ad hoc committee will consider topics including, but not limited to, better understanding 2 Senate Bill (SB) 54, Reg. Sess. 2017-2018. Cal. Gov. Code § 7284, et seq.

July 28, 2025

ICE raids, coordinating community response with local organizations, supporting proposed state and federal legislation regarding ICE activities, participating in the ,3 reviewing authorization of
funding as approved by the City Council, and coordinating any responses with Santa Barbara County and other jurisdictions (both locally and statewide) facing similar actions. The committee would report recommendations to the City Council for deliberation and final action.

Termination. Staff proposes termination of the ad hoc committee upon completion of the tasks outlined above or on January 21, 2029, whichever comes first.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The formation of committees on discrete matters determined by the City Council to require additional study and recommendations is consistent with its authority and its interest in efficient, transparent and accountable local government decision-making.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
If approved, it is anticipated that the ad hoc committee may initially be supported primarily by City staff with no additional cost. It is also expected that consultant services may ultimately be determined to be desirable to assist the City in carrying out certain work related to the implementation of the commitments included in Resolution No. 6417.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Support for pending state and federal legislation promoting law enforcement transparency and accountability.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize staff to draft and submit lrs in support of Senate Bill 627 (No Secret Police Act— California), Senate Bill 805 (No Vigilantes Act – California), H.R. 673 (ICE Security Reform Act – federal), S.2212 (the VISIBLE Act – federal), and H.R. 4176 (No Secret Police Act of 2025 – federal).

Sample Motion: I move to express support for [Senate Bill 627, Senate Bill 805, H.R. 673, S.2212, and/or H.R. 4176] and direct staff to draft and submit letters in support of the legislation to the appropriate authorities stating Carpinteria's position.

BACKGROUND
At the July 10, 2025, special City Council meeting, staff presented a report on recent federal immigration enforcement activities and requested council direction on actions the City may want to take in response. The staff report relayed that the City of Downey, as part of its effort to update their legislative platform, would be submitting a letter in support of proposed legislation advancing immigration reform. Other city councils including those for the cities of Altadena, Culver City, Pasadena, and Eureka (among others), have approved submitting similar letters in support of legislation related to immigration reform or transparency in law enforcement. The Council expressed an interest in potentially doing the same and requested an item return at a future meeting for further deliberation of support of relevant state and federal legislation.

A summary of the bills previously provided to the Council on July 10 is reproduced below:

Additionally, staff is presenting for the first time, H.R. 4176 (No Secret Police Act of 2025), introduced by Congressman Daniel Goldman (D-NY), which would prohibit federal officers, particularly from the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from conducting public operations while wearing face coverings or items concealing their identify, and without displaying official insignia or a uniform. This bill would also require agents to provide identification when detaining or arresting someone. The text of the bill is available here and the related press release is available here.

As discussed at the July 10 City Council meeting, these legislative measures generally respond to urgent calls for transparency and accountability by public officials and align with City values of public safety and inclusivity. The City Council’s support for these bills would affirm its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of its residents in public spaces, free from intimidation or surveillance by unidentified officers.

The City Council may choose to direct staff to submit letters in support of one or more of the bills described above.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The City aims to protect public safety, maintain community cohesion, and ensure the judicious use of resources in a manner that reflects community needs. This agenda item is consistent with the City of Carpinteria’s Mission Statement by supporting transparency, equity, and public participation in local governance.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
There are no fiscal impacts associated with this action.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Staff’s recommendations align with state law mandates, such as the California Values Act.

The City Attorney’s Office will be in attendance at the meeting to provide additional guidance or answer any questions that arise.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Code Compliance Quarterly Report Q2, 2025.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Q2 Code Compliance Quarterly Report.

BACKGROUND
The Code Compliance Division enforces local and state laws for the City of Carpinteria.

Staffing includes one Code Compliance Supervisor and one Code Compliance Officer II with varied schedules generally serving the city seven days a week. Code Compliance staff work both proactively and in response to community-initiated requests to address zoning, building, homelessness, public nuisances, smoking restrictions, animal control, and parking regulations, within City limits. Code Compliance staff work in cooperation with all City Departments, the Sheriff’s Office, and other outside agencies to resolve coderelated issues and calls for service in an efficient and timely manner.

At the request of the City Council, Code Compliance staff provides a quarterly report summarizing the recent types and number of compliance efforts addressed by the Code Compliance division. Where appropriate or noteworthy, the quarterly report can be used to highlight current issue areas, trends (both positive and negative), or particularly significant cases that have been addressed.

Figure 1, below, provides the available means to contact Code Compliance staff. Contact via the City’s service request portal (web link provided below) is the preferred method for filing a complaint or logging a request for service.

Page 2 ends

DISCUSSION
The following discussion and attached presentation (Attachment A) summarizes the reported Code Compliance activities for the second quarter (April through June) of 2025.

Starting with the next quarterly report (scheduled to be presented in October), staff will be transitioning to reporting on the fiscal year calendar. This organizational change will help to simplify tracking and reporting of Code Compliance activities as it relates to progress on City Council Strategic Plan goals and priorities.

Dozens of service requests are received monthly, in addition to numerous code violations identified by Code Compliance staff during routine patrols. Those initial service requests and officer-initiated contacts that require further investigation or action by Code Compliance staff are logged as “cases.” Code Compliance responds to and/or investigates each case to determine the appropriate course of action to best resolve these issues. Code Compliance staff logged 154 total cases opened this quarter, up 18 from last quarter’s 136 cases. This quarter’s caseload is summarized by type below and is graphically depicted in slide 3 of Attachment A:

Code Compliance routinely patrols City streets and parks, monitoring for typical parking and animal-related code violations (e.g., 72-hour parking, off-leash dogs), as well as other violations like unpermitted signs, construction, and homeless encampments. The department also responds to public service requests submitted online (GoGov - preferred and most efficient), as well as by email, phone, and in person. During Q2, the most common service requests and contacts were for Parking (71), Animal Control Services (24), and Graffiti (15). As detailed on slide 4 of Attachment A, the 154 opened cases resulted in 137 recorded violations.
1 Specifically, in Q2, staff conducted 98 initial
inspections, 89 follow-up inspections, and made 25 contacts. This resulted in addressing 1 Following the opening and investigation of a case, Code Compliance staff may find that a violation has not occurred or cannot be documented. In other cases, an open case may result in finding more than one violation. Accordingly, the number of cases and violations do not directly correlate.

July 28, 2025

60 time-limit parking violations, 12 off-leash dog violations, issuance of 20 Notices of Violations, and issuing 15 notices to abate graffiti.2
Slides 5 and 6 in Attachment A break down the way service requests are being generated and the types of requests that are being reported to the Code Compliance Division through the GoGov software.

In Q2 there were 142 community-initiated service requests. Members of the public can access the online service request portal both through the City’s website and/or the City’s smartphone app (search “Carpinteria” in the app store). The system allows for better tracking of requests, automatic notifications to requestors when service is complete, and even allows requestors to leave feedback on the quality of service provided. Public outreach to encourage utilization of the online service request system remains ongoing.

Slide 7 in Attachment A shows public feedback received in Q2 from users of the online service request system; these survey results from the public are a great metric and can help guide improvements in how staff resolves various code compliance matters going forward.

Code Compliance cases, excluding parking and animal control-related compliance activities, are summarized in Slide 8 of Attachment A. These cases include zoning violations, graffiti, public nuisances, homeless contacts, and business license violations, among others.

Zoning compliance efforts include incidents like residents building without permits, unpermitted use of property, and businesses operating without a business license. When a violation is found to have occurred, several code compliance tools are used to gain voluntary compliance such as a “stop work order,” “compliance order,” or “notice of violation.” If voluntary compliance is not gained, staff has the ability to issue Administrative Citations in the amount of $100, $200, and up to $500 per day for each day that a violation continues to exist. Staff opened 13 zoning cases this quarter; 5 were resolved within the requested time frame, and 2 stop work orders were issued. Additionally, staff resolved 13 sign regulation violations.

During the past quarter, Code Compliance staff received 37 noise complaints, 29 related to live entertainment at Island Brewing Company. While these complaints are not formally logged as cases, they highlight an ongoing concern raised by a few households regarding live entertainment noise.

There were 10 contacts with people experiencing homelessness, at par with last quarter, but still significantly down over past years. This reduction is believed to be partly due to the combined efforts of the Parks Division, Public Works Department, and Code Compliance staff, including contacts, outreach, and enforcement; which help reduce the number of violations. Also contributing to the reduction is the centralized location of the lunch program where service providers can assist helping people in need connect with a 2 The remaining 30 reported violations not included in the provided summary fall into a variety of “other” categories as shown in the “Code Enforcement Violation Counts” table included in slide 4 of Attachment A to this report.

Code Compliance Quarterly Report Q2

wide range of services. Typically, organizations like Good Samaritan, New Beginnings, Behavioral Wellness, and AmeriCorps attend weekly.

Even though staff have seen an overall reduction in contacts and calls for service there is still a small group of people experiencing homelessness that are resistant to services and tend to repeatedly return to sensitive habitat areas as seen on slide 9 (map).

Enforcement efforts, along with collaboration from Public Works for clean-up, continue to remain a priority.

Staff dedicates approximately 10 hours a month to attend meetings and trainings related to people experiencing homelessness, and/or doing outreach in the field and working with outside agencies who assist people in getting off the street and into housing. Staff’s enforcement and outreach approach, along with connecting those in need to the providers previously listed, has seen a dramatic reduction in contacts this year. Slide 10 of Attachment A provides a visual summary of the three site clean-ups and related contacts conducted in Q2.

There were 18 Health and Safety, Public Parks & Beaches, Animal Services, and Business Licensing-related cases this quarter. These include public contacts for smoking in public, open containers, abandoned shopping carts, and others. To highlight some of our significant work this quarter:
• Animal Control Staff successfully assisted a fledgling owl that was not quite ready to fly, ensuring its safety and eventual release.
• City staff brought a challenging Potentially Dangerous Dog case to a successful resolution in Santa Barbara County Superior Court, enhancing community safety.

In Q2, 476 parking tickets were issued, representing a potential $30,023 in fines, and 71 service requests were received for alleged 72-hour parking violations—an increase from 304 tickets issued last quarter. Certain areas of the city, such as neighborhoods with higher density housing, generate more service requests related to 72-hour parking violations. These areas may require increased monitoring and enforcement actions to gain compliance. Slides 11 and 12 (map) of Attachment A break down the 476 issued parking citations by type of violation and location, with the vast majority attributed to: (1) parking in “no parking” areas; (2) 72-hour parking violations; and (3) registration violations.

Slide 13 of Attachment A shows the typical animal control-related contacts and/or service requests including off-leash reports, stray dogs, and disposal of dead animals. This quarter included 4 animal impounds, 11 off-leash Contacts, 1 dog bite, and 1 in protective custody. The City Dog License Program is a mandatory program that requires all dogs 4 months and older to be licensed. The program aims to accomplish two goals:
(1) To ensure all dogs are currently vaccinated. (2) Identification of lost or stolen dogs.

Code Compliance staff routinely perform license checks when contacts are made for other animal violations like off-leash contacts, dog bites, and animal noise complaints.

Residents can purchase a dog license by visiting City Hall during normal business hours with your current rabies vaccination record or visit one of our off-site partners. 3 As a reminder, citizens who wish to volunteer to foster or walk our adoptable pets can go to the City’s website to learn more about becoming a volunteer, or contact Code Compliance staff directly for questions on becoming a foster volunteer. If interested in adopting a pet, please see the Animal Control page of the city’s website for information on currently available pets.

I. Executive Summary
Following last quarter’s major achievement of receiving Housing Element certification from the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and conditional certification of the Housing Element Zoning Amendment package to implement Program 1 of the Housing Element from the California Coastal Commission (CCC), the fourth quarter kicked off with the Community Development Department receiving the necessary final approvals from the City Council in April for the effectuation of the Housing Element Zoning Amendments package, which officially took effect in May. The Zoning Amendments package successfully rezoned sufficient properties to the new Residential/Mixed Use district to satisfy the City’s immediate Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) shortfall. Related Housing Element implementation work remained ongoing throughout the fourth quarter, including continuing work on updates to various City housing-related regulations (i.e., Accessory Dwelling Units, Density Bonus, Special Needs/Supportive Housing), and to prepare an updated project application submittal checklist to help facilitate more efficient permit application submittal and review processes.

Other housing-related work efforts that continued to make important progress throughout the fourth quarter include the successful continuation of the Safe Parking Program with New Beginnings for an additional two years, following approval of a new Agreement by the City Council in June, and statistics provided by the Rental Housing Mediation Program (RHMP) staff demonstrating that the City continues to see an uptick in residents’ usage of this important service provided by the City for resolving rental housing disputes and evictions (experiencing a 34% increase is use of RHMP services compared to the past year).

Advanced Planning staff briefly shifted gears away from the Housing Element this past quarter in order to finalize and release the long-awaited complete public draft of the City’s General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan Update in early June. The Plan is available for public review and comment through early August and a public workshop to solicit feedback on the draft Plan will be held on July 8th at the Carpinteria Public Library. Following the end of the public review period, the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report for the Plan will officially kickoff with the release of a Notice of Preparation (NOP) and scoping meeting in late summer/early fall.

Code Compliance/Animal Control staff also made strides toward satisfying several Annual Work Plan goals during the fourth quarter: In anticipation of the July 1st effectuation of the City’s multifamily residential smoking prohibition, staff ramped up outreach and education efforts to make sure Carpinteria landlords, property managers, HOAs, and residents were prepared and aware of the new regulations. Frequently Asked Questions documents were prepared and published to the City website along with related supporting materials, and numerous advertisements and informational materials were published through the City website, newsletter, social media and in the Coastal View News. Two local newspapers also City of Carpinteria FY 2024/25 4th Quarter Update
ran brief articles spotlighting the City’s new smoking regulations, and Code Compliance staff has been making direct contact with some of the larger multifamily residential developments in the City to ensure they are prepared and in compliance with City regulations. Just prior to the close of the fourth quarter, Code Compliance staff also completed helpful updates to the City’s website to improve and expand resources for reuniting pet owners with missing pets and to connect interested persons with adoptable pets in the area.

Continuing the trend from past quarters, the fourth quarter was again busy for CDD in terms of staff recruitment and professional development: Early in the quarter, the vacant Principal Planner position was successfully filled by Bret McNulty. Bret brings more than 20 years’ experience as a land use planner in both the public and private sectors to the City, and has managed to successfully hit the ground running, quickly taking over several challenging development applications. This quarter also saw the department continue its emphasis on training and professional development, including having several CDD staff attend the annual Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) conference (where Mindy Fogg and Megan Musolf participated as panelists in conference sessions), attending the central coastal section of the American Planning Association’s (APA) Planner’s Academy, and attending a seminar about sea level rise adaptation strategies put on by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Community Environmental Council (CEC).

The Department also continues to seek opportunities to improve processes for ongoing City services. At the end of the fourth quarter, CDD staff was coalescing around a group of top candidates for the City’s new online permitting platform vendor and preparing to make a final selection early in the new fiscal year. Likewise, CDD staff has also been evaluating options to transition the City’s inefficient and labor-intensive dog licensing program to an online platform operated by a third-party vendor. Efforts to improve the business licensing program remain underway and will carry over into the new fiscal year, however CDD staff had made meaningful progress to pare down the backlog of pending license applications.

PUBLIC WORKS
Public Works Department
I. Executive Summary
The Public Works Department has maintained an on-track status across its strategic objectives in the final quarter of Fiscal Year 2024-25. The Department focused largely on commitment to enhancing operational efficiency, community engagement, and maintaining critical infrastructure.

The Capital Improvement Program progressed towards its goal of increasing capital project revenues through a successful grant application to a South Coast Measure A Cycle 6 funding opportunity resulting in an award of $226,000 for the Franklin Creek Trail Improvement Project. While the Department is proud to announce the adoption of a $8.6 million Capital Improvements Budget for Fiscal Year 2025/26, a persistent challenge is the insufficient funding for pavement improvement projects.

The Solid Waste division has demonstrated l progress in operational efficiency through key actions such as ongoing outreach to ensure compliance with single-use plastic regulations, the successful execution of an Annual Household Hazardous Waste Day serving more than 350 residents, and the hosting of a Fix-it Fair that effectively diverted over 150 pounds of waste from landfills. Challenges encountered include high turnover rates in restaurants affecting compliance, the limited availability of non-plastic alternatives for certain food ware items, staffing shortages within the division, and existing language barriers that complicate outreach efforts.

Watershed Management remains on track with its efficiency objectives. This quarter saw the successful completion of a city-wide storm drain inspection, cleaning, and update to the Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping. Furthermore, a consultant agreement was executed for water conservation education to students attending local Carpinteria summer camps. The division faces challenges from new, resource-intensive requirements anticipated from the draft Phase II MS4 Permit, alongside delays in the implementation of Trash Implementation Plan regulations, which are contingent upon permit adoption and approval.

The Transportation, Parking, and Lighting division's strategic goal of increasing alternative transportation availability is an on-going effort. Delay of implementation is primarily attributed to a shortage of qualified transit drivers, which has consequently impacted the anticipated launch of the micro transit service, The Wave.

Within Street, Fleet, Parks, and Facilities Maintenance, operational and production efficiency remains on track. A notable achievement was the successful recruitment of a Public Works Manager, bringing the division closer to a full staffed status.

City of Carpinteria FY 2024/25 4th Quarter Update
Public Works Administration Program is on track in its efforts to enhance departmental operational efficiency. This includes the continuous review of customer satisfaction surveys during weekly staff meetings to facilitate operational evaluation, accountability, transparency, and adjustments. The program also achieved completion of department-wide recertification for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training, contributing to the goal of a high-performance team. Challenges identified include two vacant mid-management staff positions (Public Works Supervisor and Environmental Program Manager).

Lastly, the Resource Conservation division's strategic goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has been marked as Delayed. No significant actions were undertaken this quarter towards achieving 100% energy-sustainable city facilities, primarily due to oversubscribed funding for solar and battery storage projects. The procurement of all-electric maintenance equipment and vehicles is also experiencing delays, influenced by battery technology deficiencies.

Common challenges observed across multiple programs include constraints in staffing capacity, often due to vacancies or work-related injuries, and uncertainties arising from external regulatory frameworks and funding. Looking ahead, the Department is committed to continuing community outreach initiatives, actively pursuing new grant opportunities, and adapting to evolving regulatory landscapes.

II. Key Highlights
Major Milestones Achieved:

Confirmed $226,563 from Safe Routes to School Program and Bicycle and Pedestrian Program grants for Franklin Creek Trail Improvement Project.

Significant Issues or Challenges Encountered:

Limited capacity to complete projects due to staffing constraints.

Upcoming Priorities for the Next Quarter
Continue to research and pursue any grant program for eligible pavement improvement projects as well as for other infrastructure project needs.

Actions Taken This Quarter:

Continued outreach to food and beverage providers to reach full compliance with City regulations related to single-use plastic take-out foodware and retail sale regulations regarding single-use plastic foodware and mylar ballons.

Held Annual Household Hazardous Waste Day on April 12, 2025, serving over 350 residents. This event ensures that residents have the opportunity to properly dispose of hazardous and bulky waste. Efficiency was increased and data collection streamlined by digitizing the check-in process.

Hosted a Fix-it Fair on May 31, 2025. The goal of this outreach event was to encourage the community to renew items rather than dispose of them. 55 community members attended the event and over 150lbs of waste was diverted from the landfill.

Added summer programming to the United Way “Fun in the Sun” summer education program at Aliso School, in coordination with Explore Ecology.

The module run by Explore Ecology, funded by an SB 1383 grant, teaches students about organic waste in a hands-on learning environment.

Challenges:

Restaurants have a high turnover rate, so regular site visits will be necessary for continued compliance. Additionally, some foodware items do not have non-plastic alternatives. Loss of division staff has significantly reduced frequency of site visits. One additional challenge is language barriers.

Next Steps:

Schedule outreach events to educate the community on organic waste diversion, including residential composting workshops, in collaboration with Parks, Recreation, and Community Services.

Continue outreach to all businesses subject to Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 8.50.

Partner with the Promotores Network to provide outreach on solid waste programs to Spanish-speaking community.

Begin planning programming for California Coastal Clean-up Day (September 20, 2025) and Creek Week (September 20-27, 2025). Part of this effort will be coordinated with the General Government Department, as these events coincide with the City’s 60th Anniversary.

Actions Taken This Quarter:

Conducted City-wide Storm Drain inspection, cleanout, and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping update.

In May, the Public Works Department, through a coordinated effort among the Maintenance, Engineering, and Environmental Divisions, successfully completed a citywide inspection of all storm drains. The inspections included condition assessments, cleanouts, and comprehensive data collection (facility name, type, location, cross streets/landmarks, and quantity). The collected data was used to update the City’s Geographic Information System (GIS) for more accurate storm drain mapping and infrastructure.

Execution of consultant agreement for water conservation education and outreach.

On June 18, the Public Works Department executed a consultant agreement with Explore Ecology to conduct water conservation education and outreach to K–6th grade students attending summer camps in Carpinteria. The program focuses on waste reduction and water quality education and includes lessons on waste minimization, food waste, and composting. Campers will also participate in a beach cleanup and learn about its significance to the local watershed.

Challenges:

New requirements for cost reporting as well as those in the draft Phase II MS4 Permit are expected to require significant staff resources and funding. The true impacts of this are unknown at this time.

Trash Implementation Plan regulations. This action is delayed, as the permit has not yet been adopted and draft provisions could require updates to the Trash Implementation Plan. Additionally, these plans require Regional Water Quality Control Board Executive Officer Approval, which has not been obtained.

Next Steps:

Continue engagement with the SWRCB about the draft Phase II MS4 Permit.

Continue construction inspections and development project tracking, as required by the Phase II MS4 Permit.

PARKS, RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICES
Parks, Recreation and Community Services
I. Executive Summary
The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department continued its momentum in Q4 by enhancing community engagement, strengthening internal systems, and advancing key program initiatives. Several divisions made impactful progress, including continuation of new Library literacy and outreach programs, expanded senior engagement through AgeWell, and planning and launching of the busy summer aquatics season.

Library Services expanded its reach by completing new tutor training for the Literacy Program, and launching initiatives such as “Carp Reads”. Library staff also deepened community visibility through regular Coastal View News contributions and preparedness workshops. Staff development continues to be a strong focus, with training across emergency preparedness, community engagement, and compliance.

Administration worked to improve internal operations with finalization of the department’s employee handbook, implementation of bi-monthly meetings, and cross-departmental collaboration to streamline workflows and enhance the customer experience via RecDesk and website improvements. Full occupancy of the Community Garden, along with new school and nonprofit partnerships, highlighted the division's strong community integration.

At the Community Pool, the annual program calendar has been published and is regularly updated, supporting transparency and communication. Additionally, the division's Staff Policy and Procedures Handbook was completed and shared with all staff at pre-summer staff trainings.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Local State of the City Format

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file report, and provide feedback to staff as determined appropriate.

Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the report; and provide feedback to staff as determined appropriate.

BACKGROUND
"State of the City" and similar-type events in local government trace their roots back to the tradition of the State of the Union address, which dates back to President George Washington's 1790 address to Congress. Over time, governors adopted similar State of the State addresses, and eventually, mayors and city managers followed suit with State of the City presentations. These local versions started becoming more common in the mid-20th century, particularly as cities began to adopt more formalized public relations and civic engagement practices.

Primary Purpose of State of the City Events:

1. Transparency & Accountability
They provide a formal platform for city leaders to report on the city’s accomplishments, challenges, and overall condition, helping residents understand how tax dollars are spent and what is being prioritized.

2. Civic Engagement & Communication
These events serve to engage residents, local businesses, nonprofits, and other stakeholders in the city's goals and direction. They offer a direct communication channel between government and the public.

3. Vision & Agenda Setting
Leaders use the event to outline future priorities, announce new initiatives, and set the tone for the coming year. It often acts as a kickoff for upcoming budgets, policy efforts, or major projects.

4. Public Relations
They are also used to generate goodwill, celebrate community achievements, and recognize outstanding individuals or groups.

The City of Carpinteria has participated in several State of the City, or similar, events over the years, such as the State of the City event hosted in 20151, the State of the Community event hosted by the Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce in 20182 and, most recently, the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce (SBSCCC) State of the City event held on April 11, 2025, at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort.

Organization:

In Southern California, State of the City, or similar, events are commonly organized by city governments in collaboration with local chambers of commerce, civic organizations, or community groups. For example, in Long Beach, the Mayor’s Office partners with local organizations to host their event, while Ventura works with the Ventura Chamber of Commerce to organize its annual gathering. Thousand Oaks teams up with the Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce, and Pasadena typically organizes its event independently, often followed by public forums.

In our coastal region, Goleta recently hosted a local State of the City event in addition to participating in the regional event organized by the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce. The Goleta local State of the City event attracted community leaders, stakeholders, residents, and City staff, creating an opportunity for locals to connect with each other and with City leadership. The event featured live music, city information tables, mingling opportunities, refreshments, and presentations from the Mayor and City Manager. The program began with remarks from the Mayor, followed by a presentation from the City Manager, who provided updates on the City's finances, capital improvement projects, and the City’s ongoing commitment to meeting residents' needs. The event concluded with a question and answer session where City staff addressed various topics ranging from parking and public safety to future development and infrastructure projects.

Accessibility:

While the regional State of the City event hosted by SBSCCC provides valuable visibility and fosters collaboration across the South Coast, there are notable barriers to local 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUUV1Ch_blo

participation, including the cost of attendance ($150 for members, $200 for nonmembers), the time of the event (e.g., 11AM to 2PM on a weekday), and travel to the event venue. Additionally, the format of the SBSCCC event limits the inclusion of all City Council members due to potential violations of the Brown Act. Hosting this as an official City Special Meeting, however, would allow for full participation by the entire Council, ensuring transparency and compliance with state open meeting laws while maximizing engagement from local leadership.

Given these barriers, there is a desire to provide a local State of the City event with a focus on increasing accessibility for all residents.

On April 21, staff met with the Public Engagement Committee to discuss the potential local State of the City event. On April 28, staff was given direction by City Council to proceed with planning of the event. On July 2, staff met with the Public Engagement Committee and received additional feedback on event format.

The purpose of this agenda item is to present the final format for the local State of the City event based on feedback received from the City Council and Public Engagement Committee, and to receive additional feedback from the City Council, as desired, prior to finalizing event logistics.

DISCUSSION
Based on the input and direction received from the City Council and Public Engagement Committee, staff has developed a revised format for the local State of the City event. This new approach is designed to be more informative, welcoming, and truly reflective of the Carpinteria community. Staff believes this format effectively addresses nearly all previous concerns and represents a much-improved framework.

Event Timeline Overview
The proposed State of the City event will follow a structured timeline designed to maximize community engagement and accessibility:

1. Welcome: Mayor to welcome attendees and provide event overview.

2. Presentation: The City Manager and Department Heads will lead a presentation highlighting Carpinteria’s 60-year history alongside future plans.

3. Public Comment: A required public comment period, both in-person and via Zoom, will be held, as this is a Special City Council Meeting.

4. Q&A Session: A question-and-answer session will follow, addressing presubmitted questions from the public.

5. Visiting City Tables: After the meeting concludes, attendees are invited to visit City service and program tables set up outside to learn more about local offerings.

Outreach and Promotion
To ensure broad community awareness and participation, the City will publicize the event through multiple channels. This includes announcements in the local newspaper, posts on City social media platforms, inclusion in City newsletters, and distribution of bilingual flyers to reach both English- and Spanish-speaking residents. These efforts aim to engage a diverse audience and encourage widespread attendance.

Event Focus and Format
The event will be fully focused on the City itself. While nonprofit organizations and other community groups are welcome to attend, tabling opportunities will be reserved specifically for City services and programs. This focused approach was recommended to ensure the event remains focused and time-sensitive. Given the Veterans Hall’s capacity, concentrating on City offerings helps maintain an inviting atmosphere where participants can easily access information without feeling crowded or overwhelmed.

The centerpiece of the event will be a special presentation led by the City Manager and Department Heads. While the exact content is still being developed, the presentation is intended to tell the unique story of how Carpinteria has evolved over the past 60 years, celebrating its milestones, challenges, and achievements. To enhance this storytelling experience, the event will highlight special historical photos and newspaper clippings, including a display of the framed newspaper from the City’s founding day. This approach is designed to make the event feel like a limited-edition, special occasion that honors the City’s rich history while also looking forward to the future through strategic plans and upcoming initiatives.

Public Engagement and Accessibility
Following the presentation, a public comment period will be held to allow attendees to share their thoughts and questions. This will be followed by a Q&A session using presubmitted questions from the public. As this will be a Special Council Meeting, public comment will also be provided to allow live input from attendees. After the meeting, participants will be encouraged to visit City tabling opportunities set up outside, where they can learn more about City programs, events, and services.

To ensure the event is open and accessible to everyone, the City has coordinated with SBTV—the current provider for streaming Council meetings—to provide live streaming of the event on YouTube. The Veterans Hall, having been vetted as a reliable venue, will host the event. This location offers a meaningful historical connection as it was the site of the City’s first Council meeting prior to the establishment of the current Council Chambers, providing a nostalgic and fitting backdrop for this milestone celebration.

Additionally, Veterans Hall is ADA compliant, ensuring full access for individuals using Proposal for Local State of the City Event and Program Format July 28, 2025
