ITEM FOR LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATION
Carpinteria Community Library Monthly Report January 2026

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.

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

BACKGROUND
The Carpinteria Community Library was established by Ordinance No. 747 on June 14, 2021, and codified in Chapter 2.38 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code. That ordinance also established a Library Board of Trustees, which is required to meet at least once per month.

The purpose of this agenda item is to provide the Library Board of Trustees an update on operations, and staff changes, if any.

DISCUSSION
Program and Collection Updates:

Regular weekly and monthly library programs continued throughout December, with brief interruptions due to scheduled holiday closures.

December 6 Frosty Fest
The library hosted Frosty Fest, a seasonal family program featuring games, treat decorating, crafts, and related activities. Community members were encouraged to attend in customized holiday attire, with a prize awarded for the most original outfit.

Total attendance was 59 participants, including children, teens, and adults.

LBOT Staff Report

December Early January
During December and the first week of January, the library provided space for rehearsal sessions for the Artesanía Para La Familia
program supported youth development through arts education, promoted cultural preservation, and strengthened community partnerships. The library acknowledges Artesanía Para La Familia and the Friends of the Library for their collaboration in delivering this culturally enriching program.

For additional
calendar at https://carpinterialibrary.org/events/month/. Vendor Update - Baker & Taylor Cessation of Operations:

Baker & Taylor (B&T), the largest library wholesaler in the United States, ceased operations effective January 1, 2026. This development has impacted libraries nationwide, including the Black Gold Cooperative libraries, which rely heavily on B&T for book acquisition, cataloging, and processing services.

Fortunately, the Carpinteria Community Library has not been significantly affected, as the library has maintained the capacity to perform technical services in-house for the past three years.

Staff Updates:

Part-Time Library Technician: Final interviews were conducted on December 16. An offer letter was extended and accepted by the selected candidate. The hiring process is currently pending completion of final steps.

Library Outreach:

December 2 and 18 Carpinteria Middle School Class Visits In collaboration with Carpinteria Middle School teachers, the library hosted visits from five classrooms. Approximately 110 students learned about library resources, collection organization, how to sign up for library cards, and participated in special activities.

December 10 Aliso Elementary School Holiday Event
This event was open to the entire Carpinteria community and featured a variety of festive activities for families. The library hosted a Winter Storytime as part of the event. Attendance at the library area included 32 children and 25 parents.

UPDATES ON DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
Surfliner Inn Draft Environmental Impact Report
Community Development Department (CDD) staff are wrapping up the final edits to the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) prepared for the Surliner Inn project. CDD staff anticipates the DEIR will be ready for public release on January 22, 2026 for a 45-day public review period (ending March 9, 2026). A public meeting to consider the DEIR will be held before the City’s Environmental Review Committee (ERC) on February 18, 2026, starting at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. All pertinent documents related to the DEIR will be posted to the City’s Surfliner Inn project webpage at: https://carpinteriaca.gov/cityhall/community-development/linden-inn-project/ Copies of the DEIR will also be available to review at City Hall and the Carpinteria Community Library. Additional notification concerning the release of the DEIR for public review will be published in the Coastal View News, on the City website and social media channels, and sent out to interested persons a few days ahead of the targeted publication date.

Proposed Housing Projects Updates
The City webpage for current proposed housing projects continues to be updated to reflect the current status of each of the City’s active project applications. More information on the status of each project can be found by visiting the following webpage and clicking on the individual links under the “Proposed Housing Projects” heading:

OTHER CITY/COMMUNITY UPDATES
December and January Storms
Over the past two weeks, multiple staff across several departments worked together on storm preparations, support during the storm, and follow-up. Their coordinated efforts across the City, whether in person, on social media, or in calls with the National Weather Service and County Office of Emergency Management, ensured that information was shared quickly and accurately for residents, and that response activities were wellmanaged throughout the City.

In terms of rainfall, Carpinteria received 1.08 inches during the January three-day storm, bringing the January 2026 rain total to 1.70 inches. In December 2025, we received 6.74 inches. So far in Water Year 2026 (Sept 1 – Aug 31), Carpinteria has received 17.58 inches, which is 318% of the normal water year total at this point.

While no storm damage occurred to City facilities, the City did experience approximately $39,000 of damages to street trees and trees in Carpinteria Creek Park. In total, 11 trees were lost including Arroyo Willow, Sycamore, Pink Trumpet, Cottonwood, and Modesto Ash trees.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Update
From December 15–17, two City staff members, Juliza Briones and Lexi Persoon, along with two CERT members, Brian Lane and Dale Olivas, participated in FEMA’s CERT Train-the-Trainer course hosted at the American Red Cross. From December 18–19, Program Manager Juliza Briones also completed FEMA’s CERT Program Manager Training. These in-person FEMA-required courses are essential to maintaining an active and compliant CERT program and, without them, the City would not be able to continue providing CERT training to the community that is compliant with FEMA standards.

Because these trainings had not been offered locally for many years, the City, in collaboration with the CERT Collaborative from the Cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta, worked diligently over the past year to bring this opportunity to the region. The City extends its appreciation to CERT partners for their support in strengthening local and regional emergency preparedness and offering this critical training opportunity for our region.

Community Garden
The Community Garden hosted the AgeWell Group for their monthly Saturday excursion on December 13, from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Participants had fun decorating holiday cookies and walking around the garden.

Throughout the month of December, the Community Garden’s composting systems diverted 226.3 pounds of food and garden scraps from the landfill.

AgeWell
On Thursday, January 15, from 1:00pm to 2:30pm in the Veterans Hall Meeting Room, join AgeWell for a special presentation by Cycling Without Age, a global movement founded in Denmark to reduce isolation among older adults. A representative will share how Cycling Without Age is enriching lives and fostering meaningful connections in our community.

On Thursday, January 22, from 1:00pm to 2:30pm in the Veterans Hall Meeting Room, bring your coastal treasures and join AgeWell for a hands-on “Sea Scape Vase Making” workshop. Together, participants will create beautiful DIY vases layered with sand, shells, and air plants, celebrating creativity and the natural beauty of the coast.

Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department Holiday Hours All Parks, Recreation and Community Services programs and facilities will be closed on Monday, January 19 in celebration of Martin Luther King Day.

Click or tap here to enter text.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
This action is consistent with City Council priorities related to equity, access to public services, and compliance with federal civil rights requirements, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Caltrans Title VI assurances.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No Additional Funding Requested. Minimal staff time to prepare the report is included in the Adopted FY 2025-26 General Fund Budget.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The Plan ensures legal compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. By establishing clear, formal procedures for complaints and public notification, the City mitigates legal and financial risk associated with non-compliance and protects its ability to enter into contracts for federally funded projects.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the December 2026 holiday schedule, authorize the closure of City Hall from December 24, 2026 through January 1, 2027, and cancel the August 10, 2026 and December 28, 2026 City Council meetings.

BACKGROUND
On January 13, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6351 which updated the holidays that are part of the Council approved labor agreement and conditions of employment.

As per the labor agreement, conditions of employment, and past City practice, the either the day before or the day after December 25 and January 1. In December 2026, agreements and conditions of employment, the City may observe either the day before or the day after each holiday as an additional observed holiday, consistent with past practice.

Council Meeting Date: January 12, 2026
December 2026 Holiday Schedule
January 12, 2026

Council has cancelled the first meeting in August to accommodate a summer break and the second regular meeting in December due to light agendas and vacation schedules associated with the holiday season.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the Council to consider approving the December 2026 holiday schedule as shown in Table 1, below, authorize the closure of City Hall from December 24, 2026 through January 1, 2027, and cancel the City Council meetings of August 10 and December 28, 2026.

DISCUSSION
Table 1 below shows the staff proposed December 2026 Holiday Schedule for Council Consideration:

Table 1: December 2026 Holiday Schedule
Staff anticipates the proposed closure will have little effect on services to the public given contact at City Hall is very slow during the holiday season. Employees will have the flexibility to either work during the days City Hall is closed to the public or choose to take time off and use their PTO and/or floating holidays, management leave, etc. If employees choose to work, this would allow time for training and department organizational projects in addition to the completion of general tasks. If employees are working, the public may also make appointments to come into City Hall. During this closure, there will be on-call personnel for emergencies or special situations that would require immediate attention.

BACKGROUND
The County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors approved setting aside $800,000 for under the Parks, Trails, and Open Space budget allocation established in Fiscal Year 2021-22.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
January 12, 2026

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
License Agreement for Chevron U.S.A., Inc. for Tar Pits Beach and Adjacent Tidelands.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a License Agreement with Chevron U.S.A., Inc. for Tar Pits Beach and Adjacent Tidelands.

Sample Motion: I authorize the City Manager to execute a License Agreement with Chevron U.S.A., Inc. for Tar Pits Beach and Adjacent Tidelands. (This motion requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
Chevron U.S.A., Inc. (Chevron) is responsible for and is proposing to remove or abandon in place various inactive subsurface onshore pipelines, either underwater or underground that traverse City tidelands/ocean waters, from offshore pipeline segments. As an initial phase of this removal or abandonment work, Chevron is requesting access to a portion of City property on Tar Pits Beach and adjacent tidelands. The inactive subsurface pipelines were previously disconnected from service as required by state and/or federal regulatory permits.

There are four onshore pipeline locations1. The initial phase of the removal and abandonment work would involve two of the locations (i.e., Hilda/Hazel pipelines and Marketing Terminal pipeline) that necessitate access to a portion of Tar Pits Beach and adjacent tidelands. to access and perform removal and abandonment work at the remaining two locations, as well as for pipeline segments in Tar Pits Park, will be brought forward to the City Council for review as subsequent phases of work advance.

The City and California Coastal Commission approved a development plan for the decommissioning and remediation of oil and gas processing facilities located in the City of Carpinteria. The California Coastal Commission has also approved a permit 1 In its review and permitting of offshore pipeline removals, the California Coastal Commission refers to three pipeline bundles, and it references the Marketing Terminal and Marine Terminal pipelines as one bundle.

Agenda Section: Other Business
Agenda Item No.: 10
Council Meeting Date: January 12, 2026
License Agreement with Chevron U.S.A., Inc. for Tar Pits Beach and Adjacent Tidelands January 12, 2026

that includes removal of the offshore pipelines2. Various state and federal agencies are currently processing Chevron to the removal of offshore platforms. The proposed removal and abandonment work in the portion of Tar Pits Beach and adjacent tidelands must be conducted in compliance with these state and federal permits, as well as all other applicable laws and regulations.

Chevron is concurrently requesting access to Carpinteria State Beach from the California Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks). The State Park s permit process is separate from the City permit process; however, the City and State Parks are coordinating on these efforts.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to request City Council authorization for the City Manager to execute a License Agreement with Chevron for access to and limited use of a portion of Tar Pits Beach and adjacent tidelands.

DISCUSSION
The proposed License Agreement, included as Attachment A, authorizes Chevron to access a portion of Tar Pits Beach and the adjacent tidelands for the purpose of carrying out the previously-approved removal and abandonment work. The specific area of work is defined as the and the authorized
activities are defined License Area Work in Exhibit B. The License Agreement would become effective upon execution and would remain in effect until completion of the removal and abandonment work, or for one year from execution, whichever comes first.

The License Agreement would operate in conjunction with other permits approved by the City, California Coastal Commission, and applicable state and federal agencies related to the decommissioning of onshore and offshore oil and gas facilities in Carpinteria.

Independently of the License Agreement, Chevron remains responsible for compliance with all conditions of approval, mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements. The existing offshore pipelines are situated via lease agreements, and the onshore pipelines are situated via easements. The proposed License Agreement does not alter or affect the status of those existing leases or easements.

The License Agreement requires that Chevron make reasonable efforts to provide notice to the public in advance of initiating the License Area Work and make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the work does not impede public access. Additionally, the License Agreement requires that Chevron remove all equipment following completion of the work and indemnify the City for potential liability arising out of its use of the area.

Pursuant to Section 2.08.150 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code, the City Manager is authorized execute contracts without prior City Council approval when the contract value does not exceed $50,000. In this instance, the City Manager has determined that the proposed License Agreement warrants City Council review and approval. 2 City Permit No. 21-2128-DP/CDP (Chevron Carpinteria Oil and Gas Facility Decommissioning); California Coastal Commission Permit No. CDP No. 9-25-0205 (Chevron Pipeline Removal) License Agreement with Chevron U.S.A., Inc. for Tar Pits Beach and Adjacent Tidelands January 12, 2026

POLICY CONSISTENCY
As the legislative body of the City, the City Council acts as steward of public lands owned by the City, including Tar Pits Beach and adjacent tidelands. This agenda matter provides for the City Council to review the proposed License Agreement. The removal and abandonment work associated with the License Agreement is a small part of two, larger projects related to removal of offshore and onshore oil and gas facilities. Both City and California Coastal Commission permits include findings determining the consistency of this work with City General Plan/Local Coastal Plan policies. G best interest to cooperate with Chevron in the completion of this work in order to remove potential hazards from a public beach.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No Additional Funding Requested. Chevron will remunerate the City for costs associated with the processing the License Agreement.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS

EXHIBIT A LICENSE AREA END OF EXHIBIT A
5 EXHIBIT B LICENSE AREA WORK
Onshore Beach Pipeline Removal Activities
The removal of onshore pipelines from the beach will involve several carefully coordinated steps. The process will begin with the excavation and cutting of the Hazel and Hilda pipeline bundle, as well as the Marketing and Marine Terminal pipelines. Once these pipelines have been cut into manageable segments, the sections will be removed from the beach and transported off-site for proper disposal.

All pipeline removal work will be scheduled to coincide with periods of extreme low tide. This timing is necessary to maximize the available work window on the beach, allowing crews to perform tasks safely and efficiently.

Equipment and Crew
A range of equipment will be utilized throughout these operations, including a mini excavator, a sideby-side Off-Road Vehicle (ORV), and either a wheel loader or skid steer. The onshore crew will be composed of approximately eleven Project workers, each assigned to specific roles to ensure safe and effective execution of the work.

Work Hours and Scheduling
All onshore Project activities including the initial mobilization of equipment from the staging area along the designated access route will take place exclusively during daylight hours. Work is anticipated to occur from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during the winter months. These hours are selected to align with the available daylight and are further coordinated with the tidal schedule to maximize productivity.

Pipeline removal activities will be conducted Monday through Friday. It is estimated that the entire process will require approximately fifteen workdays to complete.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Resolution No. 6430, Opposing the Inclusion of New Offshore Oil and Gas Leasing.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6430, opposing the inclusion of new offshore oil and gas leasing.

2. Authorize the Mayor to sign a Letter of Opposition opposing the inclusion of new offshore oil and gas leasing.

Sample Motion: I move to:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6430, opposing the inclusion of new offshore oil and gas leasing.

2. Authorize the Mayor to sign a Letter of Opposition opposing the inclusion of new offshore oil and gas leasing.

BACKGROUND
The Environmental Defense Center (EDC) is appealing to California communities and stakeholders to oppose uter
Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program (Program). The Program specifically proposes the inclusion of new offshore oil and gas leasing along the California coast in 2027, 2029, and 2030. The Program is administered by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. The Program establishes a schedule of proposed new offshore oil and gas leasing over a five-year period, determining the timing, location, and size of leasing activity on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. BOEM is required to balance economic, environmental, and social considerations such as potential impacts to coastal communities, marine ecosystems, and existing ocean uses when developing the Program.

On April 18, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced the first step in a public engagement process to develop the Program. On April 30, 2025, BOEM published a Request for Information in the Federal Register, opening a 45-day public comment period that ended on June 16, 2025. On November 20, 2025, the Secretary of the Interior Agenda Section: Other Business
Agenda Item No.: 11
Council Meeting Date: January 12, 2026
Resolution No. 6430, Opposing the Inclusion of New Offshore Oil and Gas Leasing January 12, 2026

announced the 1st Proposal for the Program, which includes potential lease sales off the California coast.

The Program is currently in the public comment period, and BOEM is requesting public comments about the proposed leasing areas and schedule. This presents an opportunity for the Carpinteria community to formally state its position regarding new offshore oil and gas leasing along the California coast. The public comment period for this proposal closes on January 23, 2026
period timely and important.

The Carpinteria s economy and quality of life are closely tied to a healthy coastal and marine environment, which supports tourism, recreation, commercial and recreational fishing, and related small businesses. The Program may pose significant risks to these industries, local ecosystems, and public access to the coast. On October 21, 2025, the County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors approved a framework to phase out oil and gas operations and directed staff to develop an ordinance that prohibits new wells and to study the phaseout of existing facilities. action reflects regional support for transitioning away from fossil fuel development along the California coast.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to adopt Resolution No. 6430, opposing the inclusion of new offshore oil and gas leasing, and authorizing the Mayor to sign a Letter of Opposition.

DISCUSSION
The proposed Resolution No. 6430 (Attachment A) and Letter of Opposition (Attachment B) identify the following primary concerns:

Environmental Impacts Offshore drilling and seismic testing pose risks to marine ecosystems, including harm to whales, dolphins, seals, fish populations, bird populations, and coastal habitats.

Economic Impacts
and fishing industries that could be negatively affected by oil spills, leaks, or perceived environmental risks.

Community Well-being Protection of the coastal environment is essential to maintaining property values, public health, and quality of life for residents and visitors.

By adopting Resolution No. 6430 and signing the Letter of Opposition, the City of Carpinteria will formally state its opposition of the inclusion of new offshore oil and gas leasing.

Federal offshore leases under the proposed 11th National Outer Continental Shelf Program do not provide any direct financial benefit to the City. Indirectly, new offshore oil and gas leasing could generate jobs and business opportunities associated with the oil Resolution No. 6430, Opposing the Inclusion of New Offshore Oil and Gas Leasing January 12, 2026

and gas industry, which would be similar to the impacts historically seen from operations in the Santa Barbara Channel. However, these potential benefits must be weighed against significant economic risks to the Carpinteria community fishing industries, which are critical components of the local economy and are highly dependent on a healthy coastal and marine environment.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation is consistent with the following objectives and policies of the Land Use Element of the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan:

Policy LU-1c. Where policies in the Land Use Element overlap, the policy that is most protective of resources (e.g., land, water, air, etc.) shall take precedence.

Policy LU-1d. Ensure that the type, location and intensity of land uses planned adjacent to any parcel designated open space/recreation or agriculture are compatible with these public resources and will not be detrimental to the resource.

Policy LU-2b. Regulate all development, including agriculture, to avoid adverse impacts on habitat resources.

Policy LU-5a. The City shall continue to give priority to agriculture, coastal-dependent industry and visitor-serving commercial recreational facilities designed to enhance public opportunities for coastal recreation over residential, general industrial, or general commercial development.

Policy LU-5c. The City shall continue to promote and coordinate with interested groups to allow a variety of recreational activities, such as sporting events, tournaments, art shows, parades, and other events at appropriate locations.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No Additional Funding Requested. Minimal staff time to prepare the report is included in the Adopted FY 2025/26 General Fund Budget.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
This activity is the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Section 15378), as it involves organizational and administrative activities of the City that would not result in a direct or indirect physical change to the environment.

OPTIONS
The City Council could choose to:

Resolution No. 6430, Opposing the Inclusion of New Offshore Oil and Gas Leasing January 12, 2026

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6430, opposing the inclusion of new offshore oil and gas leasing, and authorizing the Mayor to sign a Letter of Opposition. (Staff Recommendation)

2. The City Council could choose to not approve the recommendation and direct staff as determined appropriate.

SUBJECT: Letter of Opposition for Inclusion of New Offshore Oil and Gas Leasing Dear Kelly Hammerle:

On behalf of the Carpinteria community, this is a Letter of Opposition for the inclusion of new offshore oil and gas leasing in the Draft Proposed Program (DPP) of the 11th National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program, as proposed by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and referenced in Federal Register Vol. 90, No. 224 (dated Monday, November 24, 2025), Notices, Pages 52996-52999, FR Doc No: 2025-0483. Offshore oil and gas leasing poses stal environment and marine ecosystems as well
as its local economy, which is heavily reliant on tourism, recreation, and commercial and recreational fishing. The Carpinteria community is also home to unique coastal and marine resources including nearshore reefs, Carpinteria City Beach, Carpinteria Salt Marsh, and Carpinteria State Beach, which all attract over one million visitors annually.

The Carpinteria community also does not believe the DPP adequately considers regional and local -certified Coastal Zone Management
Plan and State Tidelands Oil and Gas Sanctuary, respectively, Local Coastal Plan, which implements the California Coastal Act.

For these reasons, the Carpinteria community strongly opposes the inclusion of new offshore oil and gas leasing in the DPP and requests for the exclusion of the Pacific Ocean coastline along California from the 11th National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program and to prioritize the protection of coastal ecosystems, public access, and regional economies dependent on healthy marine environments.

Sincerely,
Natalia Alarcon
Mayor, City of Carpinteria
