No City Council Member may accept, solicit, or direct any contribution from an agent of the party during the same time frame. This prohibition commences when an item involving the entitlement has been placed on the City Council’s agenda for a public meeting, when the City Council Member knows the action is within the City Council’s jurisdiction, and it is reasonably foreseeable that it will come before the City Council as a decisionmaker, or when the proceeding is before the City Council for its decision. A party to a City proceeding —which includes both applicants and agents—shall disclose on the record of the proceeding any contribution of more than $500 made to any City Council Member by the applicant, or any donations made by the agent, during the preceding 12 months. No party to a City proceeding, or agent, shall make a contribution to a City Council Member during the proceeding and for 12 months following the date a final decision is rendered by the City. Prior to rendering a decision on a City proceeding, any City Council Member who received contribution of more than $500 within the preceding 12 months from any party, or who received any donations from an agent, to a proceeding shall disclose that fact on the record of the proceeding, and shall be disqualified from participating in the proceeding. However, if any City Council Member receives a contribution that otherwise would require disqualification, and returns the contribution within 30 days of knowing about the contribution and the relevant proceeding, the City Council Member shall be permitted to participate in the proceeding. If you believe that these provisions apply to you or a City Council Member, please inform the City Clerk at the earliest possible opportunity.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 795, Repealing and Replacing Chapter 10.60 (Bicycles) of the Carpinteria Municipal Code Ent

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 795 (second reading).

I move to adopt Ordinance No. 795. (This motion requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
The use of electric mobility devices, including electric bicycles (e-bikes), motorized scooters, and other powered devices, has increased significantly in Carpinteria over the past three years as a form of both transportation and recreation. While these devices expand mobility access and reduce vehicle trips, the City has also received increasing reports of unsafe riding behavior, particularly involving youth riders traveling at excessive speeds, failing to comply with traffic laws, and riding on sidewalks in high-pedestrian areas.

Community concerns have been most pronounced in:

The Downtown and Linden Avenue area;
Near school campuses and routes to schools; and
Residential neighborhoods experiencing increased Class 3 e-bike use.

In response to these concerns, the City Council held a Special Meeting on March 4, 2025, to discuss electric mobility device safety issues with local stakeholders, including representatives from the Carpinteria Unified School District, the Santa Barbara County Space Management Advisory Board. The discussion focused on community education, safe riding practices, enforcement challenges, and the need for coordinated, locally appropriate solutions.

Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item No.: 8
Council Meeting Date: February 9, 2026

Bicycle and Electric Mobility Device Ordinance
February 9, 2026

Following that meeting, on April 14, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6385, formally establishing an Ad Hoc Electric (E) Conveyance Committee to assist and guide staff with evaluating regulatory options and developing program and policy recommendations for City Council consideration. The Committee was structured as an ad hoc committee of less than a quorum of the City Council and was intended to operate for a limited duration, dissolving upon completion of its work.

The Ad Hoc E-Conveyance Committee consists of Mayor Natalia Alarcón, and Council Member Julia Mayer, with participation from the City Chief of Police, representatives from the Carpinteria Unified School District, representatives from MOVE Santa Barbara, and City other jurisdictions, evaluate enforcement and education strategies, and recommend a balanced framework that promotes public safety while supporting active transportation.

Over the course of its work, the Committee reviewed existing Municipal Code provisions, State law requirements, enforcement authority limitations, education-based alternatives for youth violations, and community feedback. The Committee ultimately made the following recommendations:

Consolidate regulations
(Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 10.60) with new electric mobility device regulations into a single, comprehensive chapter.

Retain the Central Traffic District sidewalk restriction for bicycles and extend that restriction to electric mobility devices.

Allow bicycle and electric mobility device riding in appropriate areas, including the Carpinteria Bluffs, consistent with existing access and safety considerations.

Emphasize education-first enforcement, particularly for youth, rather than punitive approaches.

Include a youth diversion program option focused on bicycle and electric mobility device safety education for first-time violations.

Provisions relating to the private sale and purchase of bicycles, accident requirements, and removed because they were out-of-date or duplicative to state law. ordinance (Ordinance No. 795) for City Council consideration. The ordinance is intended to supplement State law by establishing local operating rules and an administrative citation option for defined unsafe behaviors, and
may apply these local provisions.

The intent of the ordinance (Attachment A) is to promote safe and responsible riding behavior, reduce conflicts with pedestrians and drivers, and provide clear enforcement tools for local personnel. On January 26, 2026, the City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 795 and continued the second reading to February 9, 2026.

Bicycle and Electric Mobility Device Ordinance
February 9, 2026

DISCUSSION
Overview of the Ordinance
The ordinance establishes regulations governing the operation, equipment, and parking of bicycles and electric mobility devices on public property. The ordinance emphasizes safe operation, pedestrian protection, respect for the public right-of-way, and shared roadway use.

The ordinance also provides a local administrative citation framework that may be used by and City Code Enforcement staff to address
defined unsafe behaviors under the Municipal Code. This approach can be more practical and proportionate than reliance solely on traffic or criminal citations.

Impoundment Authority (Sheriff-Only)
The draft ordinance includes impoundment provisions modeled after the City of Santa bicycles or electric mobility devices; City Code Enforcement staff do not have this authority.

The ordinance permits impoundment as an enforcement tool available to sworn law enforcement personnel when necessary to protect public safety. Operational details existing law enforcement procedures.

Sidewalk Riding Safety Exceptions and Possible Designated Areas Under California Vehicle Code Section 21206, cities and counties have the authority to regulate bicycle use on sidewalks.

Under existing City law, bicycle riding on sidewalks is already prohibited within the Central Traffic District pursuant to Chapter 10.60 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code. The Central Traffic District, defined in Carpinteria Municipal Code Section 10.04.030, encompasses the areas with
the highest pedestrian activity and potential for conflicts.

Consistent with this existing framework, and based on the direction of the Ad Hoc EConveyance Committee, the proposed ordinance retains the current sidewalk riding prohibition for bicycles in the Central Traffic District and extends that same prohibition to electric mobility devices. Applying the restriction uniformly to both bicycles and electric mobility devices promotes clarity, consistency
heavily traveled areas. Figure 1 illustrates the boundaries of the Central Traffic District as established in the Municipal Code.

Bicycle and Electric Mobility Device Ordinance
February 9, 2026

Figure 1: Central Traffic District
Outside the Central Traffic District, sidewalk riding by bicycles is currently permitted under existing City code. During its deliberations, the Committee considered whether to adopt a citywide sidewalk riding prohibition for bicycles and electric mobility devices. The Committee ultimately declined to recommend a citywide ban, recognizing that there are areas within the City where no safe or practical on-street alternative exists, due to roadway width, traffic speeds, vehicle volumes, or the absence of dedicated bicycle facilities. In such locations, a blanket sidewalk prohibition could unintentionally place riders in unsafe conditions.

For these reasons, the Committee supported a targeted, location-based approach that prioritizes pedestrian safety in high-conflict areas while preserving flexibility elsewhere. The ordinance, as proposed, reflects this balanced framework.

Optional City Council Consideration
If the City Council wishes to adopt a more restrictive approach, the ordinance could be modified to prohibit sidewalk riding by bicycles and electric mobility devices citywide, with or without limited safety-based exceptions (for example, where no reasonable on-street

Bicycle and Electric Mobility Device Ordinance
February 9, 2026

alternative exists). While a citywide prohibition would increase uniformity, it could also require additional enforcement resources and may create unintended safety impacts in areas lacking adequate bicycle infrastructure. In addition, the City Council could choose to broaden the area subject to the sidewalk riding prohibition (e.g., expand the Central Traffic District).

The ordinance before the City Council maintains the Committee-recommended approach of continuing the existing bicycle sidewalk restriction in the Central Traffic District and extending it to electric mobility devices, with the ability to revisit sidewalk regulations in the future as infrastructure and safety conditions evolve.

Any future modifications to sidewalk riding rules could be evaluated in conjunction with changes to bicycle infrastructure, traffic conditions, or Central Traffic District boundaries.

Youth Violations and Diversion Program
The ordinance establishes a Youth Diversion Program to provide an educational alternative to administrative citations and fines for minors under 18 years of age cited for violations involving bicycles or electric mobility devices. The intent of the program is to promote safer riding behavior through education while avoiding punitive outcomes for first-time youth offenders.

If the ordinance is adopted, staff will work with MOVE Santa Barbara to finalize a locally appropriate youth safety curriculum and enter into a limited-scope agreement for program delivery. Staff anticipates that any agreement would be in an amount less than $1,500 for this Fiscal Year and would focus on bicycle and electric mobility device safety education Under the program framework contemplated by the ordinance:

First-time youth offenders under 18 years of age would be eligible to complete an approved safety education course in lieu of an administrative citation or fine; Successful completion of the course would result in dismissal of the citation; and Repeat, egregious, or unsafe violations would remain subject to standard enforcement and penalties as allowed by law.

Staff anticipates exploring cost-sharing opportunities with the Carpinteria Unified School - based safety education efforts. Final program structure, costs, and reimbursement terms would be addressed in an agreement executed following ordinance adoption.

Education-based diversion programs for minors are consistent with approaches used by other jurisdictions, including the City of Santa Barbara, and reflect best practices for improving youth safety through education and behavior change rather than financial penalties.

Santa Barbara County Grand Jury Findings (June 2025)
A June 2025 Santa Barbara County Grand Jury report examined electric bicycle safety issues specific to the City of Santa Barbara, documenting rising e-bike injuries and unsafe riding behavior, particularly among youth, and identifying enforcement capacity limitations as a key challenge.

The report did not evaluate post-ordinance outcomes or conclude that any single enforcement strategy is more effective than others. However, it found that inconsistent and/or low-visibility enforcement is unlikely to change rider behavior and emphasized the importance of a coordinated approach that combines targeted enforcement with expanded public education and outreach.

While the findings are specific to Santa Barbara, Carpinteria faces similar policy trade-offs, particularly near school corridors where enforcement resources are limited and long-term behavior change is a priority. The ordinance reflects this balanced, education-supported enforcement approach.

State Legislative Context AB 2234 and AB 1779 Pilot Programs Recent State legislation established pilot programs in San Diego and Marin Counties (AB 2234 and AB 1779) that allow participating jurisdictions to impose stricter rules on electric bicycles, including enhanced age limits, helmet requirements, and local administrative penalties. Carpinteria is not part of these pilot programs; however, their outcomes may inform future statewide legislation or expanded local authority.

Staff recommends tracking the results of these pilot programs and maintaining alignment with current State law at this time. Depending on the findings from these pilots, the City may wish to consider future amendments to strengthen or refine local regulations once additional authority is granted by the State.

Key Provisions of the Draft Ordinance

Applies to bicycles, Class 1 3 electric bicycles, motorized scooters, electric skateboards, and other devices powered by human or electric propulsion.

Prohibits operation of e-bikes and other electric mobility devices on sidewalks in the central traffic district to protect pedestrian safety.

Prohibits operation in drainage facilities, athletic fields, sports courts, and other areas not designed for bicycle use. Consistent with Committee direction, the ordinance allows bicycle and electric mobility device riding on the Carpinteria Bluffs; however,

Bicycle and Electric Mobility Device Ordinance

Requires adherence to traffic laws and rules of the road.

The full ordinance is included as Attachment A Bicycle and Electric Mobility Device Ordinance
Implementation And Education Approach
If the City Council approves the ordinance, it will become effective 30 days following the second reading and adoption. Upon the ordinance becoming effective, staff intends to implement the regulations using a phased approach that emphasizes education and compliance prior to full enforcement. The exact dates and timelines for the phased approach below will be determined by the Ad Hoc Electric Conveyance Committee following the first reading of the ordinance. This timeline will be shared with the City Council and the public once finalized.

Phase 1 Public Awareness and Outreach:

Staff will conduct community education and outreach in coordination with the Santa Barbara and community partners. Outreach efforts will include the use of City communication channels, social media, and local media outlets such as Coastal View News. 1 See CMC Section 12.24.021.

Bicycle and Electric Mobility Device Ordinance
February 9, 2026

Phase 2 Warning and Education Period:

Initial enforcement efforts will focus on education and safety warnings to promote awareness of the new regulations and encourage voluntary compliance.

Phase 3 Targeted Enforcement:

Following the education period, enforcement will shift to targeted use of administrative citations for violations posing safety concerns.

Phase 4 Education in Lieu of Fine (Youth Diversion Program):

Eligible first-time juvenile offenders may complete an approved youth safety education program in lieu of paying an administrative fine, with successful completion resulting in dismissal of the citation.

This phased implementation approach emphasizes education and voluntary compliance while maintaining a focus on public safety and effective enforcement.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
This item is consistent with the Circulation and Safety Elements of the Carpinteria General Plan, which emphasize safe multimodal transportation networks, pedestrian safety, and protection of the public right-of-way. The ordinance promotes orderly mobility and reduces conflicts between riders, drivers, and pedestrians.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Implementation of the ordinance may require targeted and dedicated enforcement resources Office. Staff will return to Council with cost options if enhanced enforcement is recommended. Administrative citation revenue may offset a portion of enforcement and program costs but is not expected to be a significant funding source. Sufficient funds are available in the current fiscal year budget to support implementation of the Youth Diversion Program.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The ordinance promotes public safety and helps reduce risk exposure to the City by establishing clear regulations for the safe operation of electric mobility devices. The CEQA Review
The ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. The ordinance addresses operational and enforcement provisions related to bicycle and electric mobility

device use and does not authorize any physical development or result in a physical change to the environment.

OPTIONS
The City Council may take one of the following actions:

1. Adopt Ordinance No. 795 (second reading).

2. Decline to adopt Ordinance No. 795 and provide alternative direction to staff.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Request for the issuance of a Letter of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN), to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), for a Type 48 - On-Sale General - Public Premises license for CHT, LLC and BAINBRIDGE RISING, LLC dba Arni , located at 778 Linden Avenue, Unit A.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council make a determination as to whether approval of the requested License to operate a business with On-Sale Beer, Wine, and Distilled Spirits privileges within the City serves the public's convenience or necessity.

Sample Motion: I move that a letter of Public Convenience or Necessity be provided to ABC for the operation of a Type 48 - On-Sale Beer, Wine, and Distilled Spirits License at , located at 778 Linden Avenue, Unit A.

BACKGROUND
On January 9, 2026, the City and Santa Barbara County Sheriff received notification from California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) staff that CHT, LLC and BAINBRIDGE RISING, LLC had submitted a license application for a new Rooftop Bar located at 778 Linden Avenue, Unit A. The application (Attachment A), was for a Type 48 On-Sale Beer, Wine and Distilled Spirits License, and would authorize the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for consumption on the premises where sold.

When notification of a new license application is received, the City and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's office have the opportunity to submit questions, concerns or objections to the proposed license, including a Letter of Protest (e.g., objecting to the license) or a Conditional Letter of Protest (e.g., objecting to the license unless certain conditions are agreed to and implemented). If no comments are received from the local agencies by the end of the review period, ABC continues with the processing of the application with the understanding that the local jurisdiction and law enforcement agency have no questions, concerns, or objections to the requested license.

In most circumstances, ABC is responsible for determining whether or not to approve and issue a License, subject to input provided by the local jurisdiction and law enforcement.

However, in the case of certain license types (such as an on-sale general [public premises] license) where an undue concentration already exists (i.e., an overconcentration of licenses and/or a higher than average crime rate), a local jurisdiction Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item No.: 9
Council Meeting Date: February 9, 2026

February 9, 2026

is afforded greater authority in deciding whether a new license should be approved and issued .1 In order for ABC to issue a license in such a circumstance, the local jurisdiction must first make a finding that issuance of an additional license in an area where undue concertation exists
Without such a determination by the local jurisdiction, ABC must deny the requested additional (on-sale) license application.

DISCUSSION
On-Sale License Over-Concentration
According to ABC's current records (Attachment B), the City of Carpinteria holds a total of 56 on- and off-sale licenses, with 36 of these on-sale licenses concentrated in Census Tract 16.04, which covers the portion of the city approximately west of Dump Road and south of U.S. Highway 101 (i.e., the greater downtown area). For census tract 16.04, the number of allowed on-sale licenses is 9. As the number of on-sale licenses in the city, and particularly in the City's downtown exceeds the allowed number of licenses, an overconcentration of on-sale licenses is determined to exist. Sections 23958 and 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code requires ABC to deny the application unless the local governing body of the area in which the applicant premises are located determines within 90 days of notification of a completed application that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance.

PCN Request
The applicant is requesting a finding of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) for a Type 48 on-sale general (public premises) license for a new rooftop cocktail bar to be located in the upstairs portion of the Linden Square development (778 Linden Avenue, Unit A).

Type 48 licenses typically are issued for bars and night clubs, and authorize the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for consumption on the premises where sold as well as the sale of beer and wine for consumption off the premises where sold. Minors are not allowed to enter and remain, and food service is not required. This license type is subject to Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) requirements and requires alcohol servers and managers of alcohol servers to be RBS certified.

In requesting the PCN determination, the applicants have provided the following summarized points as proposed justification for issuance of the PCN determination:

Unique Community Asset: The project introduces the first rooftop cocktail bar in Carpinteria, offering scenic views and a high-end social environment that aligns with the "small-town character" of the community.

Market Differentiation: The applicant notes that there are currently no existing Type 48 licenses (bars without food requirements) or rooftop venues in the city, filling a specific gap in the local business landscape.
1 Other types of ABC licenses subject to a PCN determination include applications for an additional offsale beer and wine license; an off-sale general license; an on-sale beer license; and on-sale beer and wine (public premise) license; or an on-sale general music venue license. Undue concentration is based upon individual census tracts.

February 9, 2026

Targeted Demographic: While the broader Linden Square project is family-friendly, this establishment will be restricted to patrons 21 and older, providing a dedicated upscale social setting for adults.

Professional Management: The venue will be overseen by an owner with 23 years of experience in the industry, ensuring a high standard of operations and strict adherence to ABC regulations.

Commitment to Safety: The proposal includes "intensive" employee training focusing on customer identification (ID checks), premises boundary control, and site security. An ownership presence is committed to being on-site during all hours of operation.

Economic Vitality: As part of the Linden Square commercial center, the bar is designed to serve as a destination for both residents and visitors, supporting the overall economic health of the downtown corridor.

Attachment C to this staff report provides a more detailed discussion of the above justifications, along with a proposed cocktail and beer/wine list, along with excerpts from the approved building plans for the Linden Square development depicting the premises of the proposed rooftop bar.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
Pursuant to Sections 23958 and 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code the City Council, as the local governing body, is authorized to review and determine whether or not the public convenience or necessity is served by issuance of the new on-sale license.

Ensuring that the further addition of any such licenses supports the City preserving and enhancing a vibrant, safe, and attractive downtown that promotes the City is supported by the following General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan objectives and policies:

Objective LU-3: Preserve the small beach town character of the built environment of Carpinteria, encouraging compatible revitalization and avoiding sprawl development at the City
Policy LU-3d: Establish a commercial sector that balances the retail and service needs of citizens and tourists.

Policy LU-3g: Provide for a range of business activities that bring vitality, revenue, and employment to Carpinteria and are compatible with its small town character.

The applicant describes the proposed cocktail bar as providing an upscale and unique offering to serve both residents and visitors to the city, noting that there are currently no other Type 48 licenses in Carpinteria. The bar would be located within the new Linden Square development, in an existing upstairs tenant space overlooking Linden Avenue that was contemplated and described during the project entitlement phase as being intended for a future cocktail bar use. Hours of operation for the proposed cocktail bar would be governed by the project conditions for the overall Linden Square project, which limit business hours to no later than 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 12:00 a.m.

February 9, 2026

Friday and Saturday.2 Use of amplified sound equipment (e.g., speakers) in outdoor areas must be limited so as to not constitute a public nuisance. Any future live entertainment would be subject to review and approval of a Live Entertainment License by the City.

Ownership representatives are responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations and ongoing compliance with all project conditions, including but not limited to, enforcing hours of operation and noise curfews/limitations.

Objective PF-3: The City shall strive to maintain the best possible police and fire safety services for the community.

Policy PF-3a: The City shall endeavor to monitor relevant statistics and enforcement criteria to assure adequate police presence.

Local law enforcement representatives were contacted by ABC and made aware of the requested license. No protests or conditional protests to the requested license were filed by law enforcement, however, they did note their support for adherence to the City approved business hours for the overall Linden Square development.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No Additional Funding Requested. The City's Master Fee Schedule establishes a nonrefundable application fee of $2,141.00 to cover staff time to process the ABC License request. The fee provides for 100% recovery of the costs to process the application whether the license is approved or denied. paid the application fee on January 13, 2026.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
California Business and Professions Code 23958.4, Undue Concentration: Licensure for Public Convenience or Necessity, states that the local governing body of the area in which the subject premises is located may determine within 90 days of notification of a completed application, that the public convenience or necessity would or would not be served by the issuance of the Public Convenience or Necessity license. The City Council may, in the exercise of its police power for the protection of public morals, health and safety, protest the license and recommend that ABC not issue the license based on an over-concentration of licenses in the vicinity and/or the history of the applicant's conduct of alcohol sales, of which there is none. Should the Council choose not to issue a PCN letter, or not make a determination within the 90-day period, ABC must deny the license due to the existing over-concentration of ABC licenses in the area. If the City issues said 2 Licensee originally proposed business hours of Sunday through Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., which would have required a modification to the approved business hours for the project. Condition of approval No. 32 (Hours of Operation) allows the Community Development Director to modify the permitted hours of operation for the Linden Square development at his/her discretion. However, in conversations with licensee representatives, the City indicated that they would not consider an expansion to the hours of operation at this time, preferring operations go smoothly and there are no reports of problems or nuisance complaints, the Director may be willing to consider extended hours of operation at a later time, in consultation with law enforcement representatives and ABC staff.

February 9, 2026

letter, ABC will consider the City's input and has independent and exclusive authority to determine whether the alcohol sales license is issued.

OPTIONS

1. Issue a PCN letter to ABC finding the proposed Type 48 on-sale general- public premises license would serve the public convenience or necessity.

2. Do not issue a PCN letter to ABC. Failure to send a letter would result in the denial of the requested ABC license.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the 2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report.

Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the 2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report.

BACKGROUND
On January 9, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5355, establishing an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) policy. The IPM policy is intended to manage environmental pests by reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides at City facilities or improvements including buildings, grounds, open spaces, parks, and streets. The implementation of the IPM policy provides for long term beneficial effects on the overall public health. The IPM policy does not completely prohibit the use of pesticides. Rather, it requires the establishment of pesticide free zones where no pesticides are to be used within park play structures and picnic areas unless an emergency arises. The IPM policy references the use of pest intervention options and tactics from the University of California, Davis; California Invasive Plant Council; and California Department of Pesticide Regulation.

The IPM policy comprises of the following tenets:

1. Establishes the goal of reducing or eliminating the use of toxic pesticides through the use of common-sense principals of IPM. Use of IPM tactics, such as eliminating habitat, eliminate food sources, mulching, hand or mechanical weeding and rodent trapping, will be the first line of defense.

2. Establishes the use of IPM methodology for selecting the appropriate pest intervention options. Observation, identification and monitoring are three keys to early actions.

3. Commits the City to establish pesticide free zones where no pesticides will be used unless an emergency arises. These areas will include park play structures and picnic areas.

Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 10
Council Meeting Date: February 9, 2026

2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report
February 9, 2026

4. References the use of IPM tactics from reputable mainstream sources; specifically, the University of California at Davis, the California Invasive Plant Council and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation.

5. Avoids whenever possible the contamination of buildings, soil, air, and water and protects people, animals and beneficial plants and insects from toxic exposures.

6. Establishes the requirement that all personnel involved in pest management at the City receive training and continuing education on the use of pesticides.

7. Requires cooperation and communication between City departments and City Contractors by setting standard operating procedures for the control of pests.

8. Establishes an IPM Advisory Committee (IPMAC) with up to nine members that includes representation from the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department, Public Works Department, Carpinteria Open Space Management Advisory Board, and at least two at large community members that can make recommendations to the City Council on implementation and amendment of the IPM policy.

9. Establishes a public outreach and information program to help others in the community reduce the use of pesticides.

10. Establishes that effective public notification will be implemented when pesticides are used. The utilization of a Pesticide Hazard and Exposure Reduction (PHAER) Zone system is to be utilized to help accomplish the public notification objective. The PHAER Zone system also includes the creation of a color metric pesticide list potentially used by the City which groups pesticides into three groups with low (green) medium (yellow) and high (red) toxicity.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to receive and file the 2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report.

DISCUSSION
The IPM policy requires year-round management including an annual report of any pesticide use, pest intervention options and tactics, and any recommendations for the ensuing year. Pursuant to the IPM policy, the 2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report is submitted herein as shown as Attachment A. In brief, the 2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report discloses information about issues and control tactics regarding the following encountered pests:

Weed and invasive plants
Insects
Rodents
Any established pesticide free zones are also disclosed.

The IPM report does not include cost information as the intent of the report is to focus on environmental aspects of pest management implementation. To date, implementation of the IPM policy has proven to be effective in mitigating the public health, financial, and legal risks of environmental cleanup or abatement.

2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report
February 9, 2026

On January 27, 2026, a draft of the 2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report was presented to the IPMAC. The IPMAC reviewed and accepted the draft.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is consistent with the IPM policy.

The recommendation may be found consistent with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Phase II Municipal Small Separate Storm Sewer System Permit for stormwater quality.

The recommendation may also
part:

Government shall make judicious use of the City's limited resources to promote the highest possible quality of life for all of Carpinteria's residents. This includes providing services consistent with community needs as well as protecting the social and physical environment.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No Additional Funding Requested.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is exempt from the environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

Further, recommendation is exempt from CEQA on the separate and independent ground that it is an action of a regulatory agency (i.e., City) for the protection of the environment because, among other things, it will regulate the use chemical pesticides. Thus, the recommendation is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA under Section 15308 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as an action by a regulatory agency for the protection of the environment.

OPTIONS

1. Receive and file the 2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report. (Staff recommendation)

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

10. Establishes that effective public notification will be implemented when pesticides are used. The utilization of a Pesticide Hazard and Exposure Reduction (PHAER) Zone system is to be utilized to help accomplish the public notification objective. The PHAER Zone system also includes the creation of a

DRAFT
2 color metric pesticide list potentially used by the City which groups pesticides into three groups with low (green) medium (yellow) and high (red) toxicity.

The IPM policy requires year-round management including an annual report of any pesticide use, pest intervention options and tactics, and any recommendations for the ensuing year. Pursuant to the IPM policy, this report discloses information about issues and control tactics regarding the following encountered pests in year 2025:

Weed and invasive plants
Insects
Rodents
Copies of safety data sheets of pesticide products and list of trained personnel of administering pesticides, respectively, are shown in the Appendix.

The 2025 Annual Integrated Pest Management Report does not include cost information, and cost-per-incident varies depending on the type of pest. Since the establishment of the IPM policy, implementation is shown to avoid or reduce the public health, financial, and legal risks of environmental cleanup and/or abatement.

A copy of this report is filed with the City Clerk for public inspection.

3 PEST ISSUES AND CONTROL TACTICS

1. Weeds and Invasive Plants
All weed and invasive plant control used manual methods including hand-hoeing or pulling, mower and weedeater equipment, and mulching. Herbicides were used for excessive infestation on an as-needed basis in the following areas:

Coastal Vista Trail- Interim Linden Avenue to Holly Avenue Spur El Carro Park
Franklin Creek Park
Heath Ranch Park
Viola Fields
Pesticide free zones were also establised in the aforementioned areas.

Although glyphosate is determined to be safe based on independent scientific research, no glyphosate was used during the current reporting period. See Glyphosate Fact Sheet in the Appendix.

Broadleaf Weeds
Sometimes, broadleaf weeds can be controlled by simply altering the cultural practices to favor the grass plants rather than the weeds. Cultural controls may include raising or lowering the mowing height, changing the frequency of mowing, lengthening or shortening the period between irrigations, and/or increasing the application of fertilizer and aeriation of the soil to ameliorate compaction.

Clover is the primary broadleaf weed. A dense infestation of broadleaf weeds such as clover will out compete the desired Bermuda grass but does not stand up to the rigors of sports play. As the turf weakens, the broadleaf weeds will readily invade the open areas that remain.

Due to the continuing growth of broadleaf weeds in sports fields, herbicides are recommended for use in order to improve turf conditions. Applications must be performed by trained personnel. A combination of proper cultural practices and herbicide is sometimes necessary to effectively control broadleaf weeds in turf.

Turf Encroachment
Another issue experienced in sports fields is the encroachment of turf into the softball removed. Mechanical removal method is the only method to eliminate turf that has encroached because herbicides are not effective in these instances. The cost of mechanical removal method is higher, but the mechanical removal method is very effective.

DRAFT
4 Mulching
Mulching provides for the following benefits in controling weeds:

Reduces weed growth thereby reducing the need for herbicides or mowing.

Holds in soil moisture and conserves water.

Helps to keep the root zone temperatures at a beneficial level.

Organic mulch such as wood chips adds nutrition as it breaks down.

Wood chips from tree grindings are regularly stockpiled on the City Hall Campus and are used as mulch for City parks, open spaces, and parkways. The wood chips are also made available to Carpinteria residents. The wood chips were used in the following areas:

Carpinteria Community Garden
City Hall
Coastal Vista Trail- Interim Linden Avenue to Holly Avenue Spur El Carro Park
Heath Ranch Park
Monte Vista Park
Seaside Park
Tomol Interpretive Play Area
Viola Fields

2. Insects
California Oak Moths
The California oak moth (Phryganidia californica) is a native insect of coastal California.

Oak month caterpillars voraciously feed upon the leaves of native Coast Live Oak trees and also some deciduous trees. The tan brown adult moths are commonly seen as they hover around infested trees. They prolifically mate and lay eggs for the next generation of caterpillars. The next generation of caterpillars feed on oak leaves. Extreme oak worm outbreaks occur approximately every eight to ten years. In the most extreme conditions, the infestation may lead to severe oak defoliation. During these outbreaks caterpillars are often seen suspending from silk strands, dropping to the ground, and congregating on surfaces such as benches, drinking fountains, and sidewalks. The infestation of the California oak moth was reduced.

Imidacloprid injections were used on the majority of Coast Live Oak trees in the following areas:

Eighth Street (Street Trees)
Franklin Creek Park
Heath Ranch Park

DRAFT
5 Memorial Park
Ogan Road (Street Trees)
Pesticide free zones were established in the following areas:

El Carro Park
Franklin Creek Park
Heath Ranch Park
Memorial Park
Monte Vista Park
The imidacloprid is taken up by the tree relatively slow and starts killing chewing insects after a few days. The imidacloprid continues to kill chewing bugs in the tree for up to a year with one injection. Direct injection of pesticides into the trunk of trees is an environmentally sound and economical way of treating for many kinds of insects that feed on trees. With injection into the circulatory system of a tree, a much lower dosage is needed because it all goes into the tree as opposed to spraying which deposits pesticide on the ground and adjacent areas for exposure to unintended receptors. Trunk injection was efficient and worked fast for insect damage control.

Aphids
Ash trees and magnolia trees experienced aphid infestations. Aphids exude a sticky residue that was causing unpleasant staining and stickiness on sidewalks and other surfaces. The infestation can be detrimental to the health of the tree and can spread to other landscape plants. Imidicloprid injections were used in the following areas:

Malibu Drive (Street Trees)
Sterling Avenue (Street Trees)
Sprays with neem oil were also used. Trilogy is the brand name for a clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil. Neem oil is a naturally occurring pesticide found in seeds from the neem tree. It has been used for hundreds of years to control pests and diseases. Components of neem oil can be found in many products today. These include toothpaste, cosmetics, soaps, and pet shampoos. Neem products do not necessarily provide absolute insect control. However, frequent applications can reduce aphid populations by repelling them and inhibiting their larval development, growth, fertility, mating, and egg laying as well as deterring feeding. Sprays were used in the following areas:

Carpinteria Community Garden (Grounds)
Carpinteria Community Library (Grounds)
City Hall (Grounds)
Veterans Memorial Building (Grounds)
Public education of aphid prevention was conducted by the Carpinteria Community Garden.

DRAFT
6 Ants
EcoVia was used for ants. It contains thyme oil and rosemary oil, and it is compliant with the National Organic Program. It is also an EPA exempt, FIFRA25-b organic essential oil insecticide. EcoVia was used in the following areas:

Carpinteria Community Library (Building)
City Hall (Building)
Veterans Memorial Building
The Carpinteria Community Garden makes compost which is used to amend garden beds for ensuring rich soil provides plants with healthy defenses against insect pests. In i.e. plants especially attractive to
beneficial insects) provides a robust ecosystem of insects that feed on common garden pests such as aphids, scale, and white flies. Bat boxes were also installed at the Carpinteria Community Garden in an effort to control invasive insects.

3. Rodents
Rats and Mice
Terad3 Rodenticide bait and Contrac Blox (bromadiolone) were used for rats and mice.

Terad3 Rodenticide bait was used in the following areas:

City Hall (Building)
Carpinteria Community Pool (Building)
Carpinteria Community Library (Building)
Veterans Memorial Building
Cholecalciferol was used as a single feeding bait. Cholecalciferol is also known as vitamin D3. Once the rat or mouse eats a lethal dose, their blood calcium begins to rise to a level that is lethal to the rodent. It is a type of vitamin D which is made by the skin when exposed to sunlight. It is found in some foods, and it is also manufactured and sold as a dietary supplement. Cholecalciferol was used in the following areas:

Carpinteria Community Pool (Building)
City Hall (Building)
Gophers
Another area of constant effort is in the control of gophers. Gophers can pose a serious threat to turf areas, especially sports fields. Gopher holes in sports fields and parks pose a solemn risk of injury to athletes and park goers. Gophers continue to be a major concern at El Carro and Viola playing fields. Gophers use their forepaws and incisor teeth to burrow and tunnel into the earth. Plant eaters by nature, they uproot and feed upon plants. Gophers are considered solitary rodents, yet dozens can infest an open

DRAFT
7 field if no control program is in place. Gopher mounds are often built in a line, indicative of a deeper tunnel system. Pocket gophers invade parks, yards and gardens, feeding on many garden crops, ornamental plants, vines, shrubs, and trees. A single gopher can inflict considerable damage in a very short time. Gophers gnaw and damage plastic water lines and irrigation systems. Their tunnels may divert and carry off irrigation water, which leads to soil erosion and inefficient water use. Mounds on turf areas interfere with mowing equipment and collapsing tunnels can create tripping and injury hazards. Sports fields suffer extensive damage when gopher infestations occur. It is unclear if plant stress from lack of irrigation has worsened the damage to sports field due to gophers.

Irrigated turf areas commonly attract gophers because moist soils have more succulent root systems required for food. Non-irrigated areas surrounding the sports fields may be unable to support gopher populations so the animals migrate to greener pastures.

The California Fish and Wildlife Code classifies pocket gophers as non-game mammals.

This means that if a gopher is causing property damage you can control them at any time and in any legal manner. The City continues to use a trapping service to help control gopher populations. It was effective, but it is not ideal. Since trapping techniques require observing active gophers, field damage continues to occur but with minimal damage.

Gopher trappings were used in the following areas:

City Hall (Grounds)
El Carro Park
Franklin Creek Park
Heath Ranch Park
Memorial Park
Veterans Memorial Building (Grounds)
Viola Fields
In addition, carbon dioxide gas was used for gophers. The carbon dioxide gas settles into gopher tunnels and displaces breathable air causing suffication. Carbon dioxide gas was used in the following areas:

Carpinteria Creek Park
City Hall (Grounds)
El Carro Park
Franklin Creek Park
Heath Ranch Park
Memorial Park
Monte Vista Park
Veterans Memorial Building (Grounds)
Viola Fields

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of first aid measures
Ingestion: Call physician or emergency number immediately. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by physician.

Inhalation: Not applicable. Eye contact: Hold eye open and rinse slowly with water for 15 – 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. If irritation develops, obtain medical assistance.

Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 - 20 minutes. If irritation develops, obtain medical assistance.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Ingestion of excessive quantities may cause hypercalcemia, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, extreme thirst, lethargy, diarrhea, profuse sweating, headache.

Advice to physician: There is no specific antidote. If serum calcium levels are elevated, treatment with calcitonin is effective in reducing calcium to normal levels. Continue monitoring serum calcium and treat as necessary for hypercalcemia. (Reference: AMA Drug Evaluations, Third Edition (1977) Chapter 16, pp. 248-251)
Advice to Veterinarian: For animals ingesting bait and/or showing poisoning signs, induce vomiting by using hydrogen peroxide or administration of activated charcoal with a cathartic. If clinical signs develop, treatment consisting of saline diuresis combined with the use of furosemide, corticosteroids, and phosphate binders are recommended. Calcitonin or pamidronate may be needed for animals that remain hypercalcemic despite symptomatic treatment.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Approval and adoption of Resolution No. 6434, establishing Renter Relocation Assistance Payment amounts for No-Fault Just Cause Evictions pursuant to Carpinteria Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 7.04.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6434 (Attachment A), establishing Renter Relocation Assistance Payment amounts for No-Fault Just Cause Evictions at two (2) months' rent in effect at the time of an eviction notice, or $6,750, whichever is greater, pursuant to Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 7.04.

Sample Motion: I move to approve and adopt Resolution No. 6434, establishing Renter Relocation Assistance Payment amounts for No-Fault Just Cause Evictions at two (2) months' rent in effect at the time of an eviction notice, or $6,750, whichever is greater, pursuant to Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 7.04.

BACKGROUND
On May 8, 2023, City Council directed Staff to amend the Carpinteria Local Coastal Program (LCP) and the Carpinteria Municipal Code (CMC) to implement “antidisplacement” housing policies, spurred by the ongoing pressures of high home prices, low housing inventory, and rising rent for Carpinteria residents. One item discussed under the anti-displacement policies was a Just-Cause Eviction Ordinance, to enact stronger tenant protections than those established in State law for the termination of residential tenancies.

Accordingly, staff prepared a Just-Cause Eviction Ordinance, and returned to the City Council on September 11, 2023, wherein the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 770, adding Chapter 7.04 (“Just Cause for Termination of Residential Tenancy”) to a new Title 7 (“Housing Regulations”) of the CMC.1 The adopted Just-Cause Eviction Ordinance established the grounds for residential evictions and instituted heightened protections for qualified renters who are evicted for a defined “no fault” reason, including specified noticing and a right to Relocation Assistance Payments. 1 The Staff Report for Ordinance No. 770 is available at https://carpinteria.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=1309&meta_id=84392 Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 11
Council Meeting Date: February 9, 2026

Resolution 6463, Relocation Assistance Payments
February 9, 2026

50139272.1
CMC Section 7.04.050(A) states that the Relocation Assistance Payment shall be “an amount established by resolution of the City Council, or one month’s rent that was in effect when the owner issued the notice to terminate tenancy plus one dollar, whichever is greater.” Recognizing that one month’s rent plus one dollar is not a sufficient amount to cover the typical costs associated with securing a new place to live and the process of moving, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6290 (Attachment B) on February 12, 2024, setting the required Relocation Assistance Payment amount at two months’ rent or $6,500, whichever is greater.

Resolution No. 6290 directs the City to review the established Relocation Assistance Payment amount on at least an annual basis, to ensure that the amount continues to reflect current costs and local market conditions. Staff did not recommend a change in 2025.

DISCUSSION
This year, staff recommends a $250 increase to the required minimum Relocation Assistance Payment— setting it at $6,750— for the following reasons:

Inflation and costs of moving
The California Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all items increased 3.3% from August 2024 to August 2025.2 A simple 3.3% increase to the current $6,500 Relocation Assistance Payment would equate to $6,715. While CPI is not a precise measurement of the “cost of living,” it is an established general indicator of cost trends of goods and services, including items relevant to moving, such as security deposits, moving supplies, truck rental/moving services, personal item storage, and cleaning supplies/services. Because moving costs are a one-time (and potentially unexpected) expense that a tenant would pay on top of day-to-day expenses, it is important for the Relocation Assistance Payment to keep up with inflationary trends to ensure it remains an effective tool for tenant protection.

Santa Barbara County south coast housing supply and regulatory landscape The south coast of Santa Barbara County is comprised of multiple jurisdictions (the cities of Goleta, Santa Barbara, and Carpinteria, as well as the unincorporated communities in Santa Barbra County), but the area function collectively as a sub-region for jobs and housing supply. Data analyzed by the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) shows that 92.4% of all commuter trips originating in the south coast end in another location within the south coast.
3 This data suggests that individuals are not as
concerned with finding housing adjacent to employment, so long as both are located within the south coast region. Accordingly, it is important for the City to consider and achieve uniformity with the regulatory landscape for housing and tenant protections in the other 2 Source: https://www.dir.ca.gov/oprl/cpi/entireccpi.pdf. This CPI includes the cost of housing. 3 Source: “Understanding Regional Travel Patterns,” Page 42, January 2024, SBCAG, https://www.sbcag.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/UnderstandingRegionalTravelPatterns.pdf

Resolution 6463, Relocation Assistance Payments

south coast jurisdictions. The table below summarizes other south coast Relocation Assistance Payment policies:

Jurisdiction Relocation Assistance Payment Minimum amount County of Santa
Barbara
3 months’ rent based on HUD fair
market rent
$7,000
City of Goleta 2 months’ rent $8,000
City of Santa Barbara 2 months’ rent none
City of Carpinteria 2 months’ rent $6,500 (current)
$6,750 (proposed)
With the exception of the City of Santa Barbara, who has no minimum Relocation Assistance Payment amount, Carpinteria’s existing $6,500 minimum Relocation Assistance Payment is the lowest in the south coast. A tenant in Carpinteria who is displaced and eligible for a Relocation Assistance Payment is likely to seek housing throughout the south coast, not solely in Carpinteria. Therefore, staff recommends increasing the City’s Relocation Assistance Payment to $6,750, moving it closer to the County of Santa Barbara’s required minimum payment.

Smaller increases to Relocation Assistance Payment over time Historical trends in local rental rates indicate that rents continue to rise over time.4If the City Council continues to use Relocation Assistance Payments as an anti-displacement tool, the Relocation Assistance Payment amount will need to be periodically increased over time to remain effective, as noted above. To ease the potential burden of Relocation Assistance Payments on property owners and/or managers, staff suggests that the Council implement smaller increases on a more frequent basis, such as the $250 increase proposed this year, rather than larger adjustments less frequently. 4 Source: 2025 Rental Housing Survey, City of Santa Barbara https://santabarbaraca.gov/sites/default/files/2025-

Resolution 6463, Relocation Assistance Payments
February 9, 2026

50139272.1

POLICY CONSISTENCY
Anti-displacement policies, including Relocation Assistance Payments, are consistent with programs in the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element, including:
• Program 1 (Adequate Sites to Accommodate Regional Housing Needs) • Program 5 (Affordable Rental Housing Development Assistance) • Program 17 (Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing)
Program 17 contains sub-programs on homelessness and fair housing education.

Relocation assistance can reduce barriers to finding new housing when a tenant is faced with no-fault eviction, with the goal of preventing evicted tenants from becoming homeless.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No Additional Funding Requested. Setting a new Relocation Assistance Payment amount is not expected to result in any new staff or contract/consultant costs to the City.

The City currently contracts with the City of Santa Barbara Rental Housing Mediation Program (RHMP) staff to provide dispute resolution services to Carpinteria tenants and landlords, including information on rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants as a method of resolving disputes out of court. The information related to this Resolution would be shared with RHMP staff to be covered as part of their already-contracted services.

Urgency Ordinance No. 770 includes, under available remedies, the option for the City Attorney to enforce this Ordinance, including but not limited to, payment of any required relocation assistance, through administrative, civil or criminal action. In the event of such action by the City Attorney, additional costs to the City could be incurred; however, the City Attorney could seek recovery of costs, expenses and attorney’s fees as allowed by law as part of any legal action.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct, and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The Carpinteria City Council herby resolves that the relocation assistance payment required under the Carpinteria Municipal Code Section 7.04.050.A shall be an amount equal to two months of the rent that was in effect when the owner issued the notice to terminate the tenancy or $6,750, whichever is greater. The City Council also endeavors to review this amount to ensure that it remains sufficient on at least an annual basis.

SECTION 3. Adoption of this resolution is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the “common sense exemption” (Cal. Code Regs., Tit. 14, Sec. 15061(c)(3)). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of a payment amount for relocation assistance may have a significant effect on the environment because it does not approve any development project or other physical change to the environment. Rather, the action generally establishes financial requirements among individuals and thus has no potential to result in physical change in the environment, either directly or indirectly.

Accordingly, adoption of Resolution No. 6434 is exempt from CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Continuation of Public Hearing for Approval of the Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2026-27 through 2030-31.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Open the public hearing, receive public comment, keep public hearing open, and continue the public hearing for approval of the Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2026-27 through 2030-31 to the February 23, 2026 Council meeting.

Sample Motion: I move to continue the public hearing for approval of the Measure A FiveYear Local Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2026-27 through 2030-31 to the February 23, 2026 Council meeting.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In 1989, voters in Santa Barbara County approved Measure D for a one-half percent sales tax to be used for transportation programs and projects. In November 2008, voters in Santa Barbara County approved Measure A that extended the one-half percent sales tax for 30 years. Measure A contains a strategic spending plan that includes regional projects as well as local programs and projects funded by monthly allocations to each local agency.

Measure A requires each local agency to annually prepare a Measure A Five-Year Local Program of Projects for submittal to the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG). Adoption of the Measure A Program of Projects at a noticed public hearing is a requirement of Measure A.

The public hearing notice for this agenda matter was published in the Coastal View News on January 29, 2026. Since the public hearing was noticed, but the Program of Projects is not ready at this time, staff requests the City Council open the public hearing tonight, receive any public comment, and keep the public hearing open and continue the matter to the regular Council meeting of February 23, 2026.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Second Quarter Code Compliance Report for Fiscal Year 2025-26

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Second Quarter Code Compliance Report for Fiscal Year 2025–26.

BACKGROUND
The Code Compliance Division enforces local and state laws within the City of Carpinteria. Staffing includes one Code Compliance Supervisor and one Code Compliance Officer II, whose varied schedules generally provide coverage to 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 code-related 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.

Second Quarter Code Compliance Report
February 9, 2026

DISCUSSION
The following discussion and attached presentation (Attachment A) summarizes the reported Code Compliance activities for the Second quarter (October through December) of the 2025-26 fiscal year.

Dozens of service requests are received monthly, in addition to 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 132 total cases opened this quarter, a decrease of 39 from last quarter’s 171 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 service requests submitted online (GOGov - preferred and most efficient), as well as those that come in by email, phone, and in person. During the Second quarter (Q2), the most common service requests and contacts were for Parking (68), Animal Control Services (18), and Graffiti (9). As detailed on slide 4 of Attachment A, the 132 opened cases resulted in 92 recorded violations. 1 In the course of resolving
some of these cases, staff conducted 15 initial inspections, 30 follow-up inspections, and 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.

made 15 contacts. The 132 opened cases also resulted in addressing 62 time-limit parking violations, 7 off leash notices, issuance of 4 notices to abate prohibited signs, and issuing 5 notices to obtain a building permit.

Slide 5 of Attachment A lists the number and type of service requests that were reported to the Code Compliance Division in Q2 via the GOGov software. Slide 6 provides a break down of how the service requests are submitted (e.g., online, app, phone).

In Q2, there were 156 community-initiated service requests. Members of the public can access the online service request portal both through the City’s website and 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.

Slides 7 through 9 in Attachment A shows various metrics pertaining to service requests received throughout the 2025 calendar year from users of the online service request system. In 2025, the department processed a total of 626 service requests. The workload is heavily concentrated, with the top two categories—Abandoned Vehicles and Noise complaints—accounting for 66% of all requests.

Summarized in Slide 10 of Attachment A, Abandoned Vehicles are the single largest operational burden, generating more than double the volume of the next highest category of service request topics. With 278 cases, Abandoned Vehicles are consuming a significant portion of staff time. With this data, staff can review current abatement procedures to see if they can be streamlined or made more efficient.

Slides 11 through 13 of Attachment A demonstrate code enforcement activity saw a slight decrease in total volume in 2025 compared to 2024. However, the complexity of cases has increased. For example, while routine issues like "Bicycles on sidewalks" dropped to zero in 2025, more time-intensive cases like Zoning and Sign Regulations saw sharp increases (+85% and +43% respectively).
• Key Insights and Year-over-Year Trends:
o Parking remains the dominant issue, accounting for nearly 50% of all enforcement activity. 2025 saw a slight increase in activity over 2024. This trend is expected to continue to rise as parking pressures continue to mount in certain areas of the city.
o Code Compliance has continued to effectively manage its caseload, preventing a large backlog from forming, however, it has come at the expense of available staffing capacity for other priority code compliance responsibilities (such as patrolling parks and beaches, or enforcement of bicycle laws).

Second Quarter Code Compliance Report
February 9, 2026

o While total caseload volume was down approximately 8% from 2024, specific categories showed dramatic increases:
▪ Zoning: Cases nearly doubled (+86%), jumping from 21 to 39 cases.
▪ Zoning - Sign Regulations: Increased significantly by 43% (28 to 40 cases).
▪ Animal Control Services: Increased by 26% (38 to 48 cases).

In Q2, 528 parking tickets were issued, representing a potential $29,995 in fines, an increase from 509 tickets issued last quarter. 65 service requests were received for alleged 72-hour parking violations. 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. Slide 14 of Attachment A breaks down the 528 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.

In Q2, Code Compliance staff working in coordination with Administrative Services staff completed the transition of the payment of fines and citations to a new third-party service provider. This service transitions many of the administrative tasks associated with collection, payment and receipt of fines and citations to the new vendor, and provides the City with improved tools for the collection of overdue fines or citations. In the first couple months of operation, this new service has allowed the City to collect over $1,830.00 in past due fines and citations.

Slide 15 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 7 animal impounds, 2 off-leash Contacts, 1 dog bite report, and 1 dog placed in protective custody.

In Q2, the Animal Control Division was able to rehome three sibling puppies that came into the City’s care. Often, the majority of stray dogs are reunited with their families within hours or days of intake. In cases where an animal goes unclaimed, the City utilizes two primary pathways: direct adoption to a new local family or collaboration with partner agencies.

In Q2, we successfully leveraged our partnership with the Santa Barbara Humane Society to manage a critical case involving three sibling puppies found abandoned in Carpinteria.

Through this collaborative effort, all three puppies received immediate care and were successfully adopted into permanent homes within just a few weeks.

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; and (2) Identification of lost or stolen dogs. Code Compliance staff routinely perform license checks when contacts are made for other

Second Quarter Code Compliance Report
February 9, 2026

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. 2 Code Compliance staff are also currently evaluating options for an online license vendor, which could make it easier and more convenient for owners to license their pets, while easing the administrative burden on City staff to maintain the licensing program.

As a reminder, residents 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.
3 Code Compliance staff have also recently completed updates to the City’s Animal Control webpage to provide enhanced resources for advertising and locating lost and found pets.4

Updated February 2026

INTRODUCTION
On behalf of the City of Carpinteria, I would like to express my appreciation to you as a member (Member) of a City of Carpinteria Board, Commission or Committee (Council Advisory Group). As a Member, you are considered a public official serving in an advisory capacity to the City Council. The City Council looks forward to your contribution as we work together to provide important municipal services that are responsive to local needs and expectations.

Community participation and input is highly valued by the Carpinteria City Council.

Elected officials and City staff cannot by themselves provide the time, energy, knowledge, and talent needed to ensure that Carpinteria remains an exceptional community. These advisory groups are established by the City Council so they can examine a variety of City Council directed subjects in detail and make recommendations to the City Council based upon their study and public deliberation.

This handbook is intended to:
• Provide an overview of the City government structure. • Describe the various Council Advisory Groups.
• Outline eligibility requirements and the process for being appointed to a Council Advisory Group.
• Identify the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of Council Advisory Group Members.
• Introduce Council Advisory Group Members to conflict-of-interest rules. • Provide an overview of open meeting laws under the Ralph M. Brown Act and general meeting procedures for the operation of the Council Advisory Groups. • Make Council Advisory Group Members aware of the Rules of Conduct and Decorum.

Members are required to fill out and sign their receipt of this handbook found in the Appendix and submit it to the City Clerk.

Should you have any questions regarding the information in this book, reach out to the staff liaison of your Council Advisory Group or the City Clerk.

I appreciate your commitment and willingness to serve our community and hope you will find it to be an interesting and rewarding experience.

Sincerely,
Brian C. Barrett, MMC, CPMC
City Clerk

Updated February 2026

CITY GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE
The City of Carpinteria (the “City” or “Carpinteria”) incorporated as a general law city on September 28, 1965 in the State of California. Carpinteria has a Council-Manager form of government, which unites full-time professional staff in City administration with community members as locally elected and appointed officials.

City Council
The City Council (“Council”) is the governing body for the City. The City Council sets overall policy for the community and hires a City Manager to carry out the policy.

Major City Council functions include:
• Representing the City and all its residents
• Appointing the City Manager and City Attorney
• Adopting and amending City laws
• Approving the annual budget
• Approving City contracts and agreements
• Establishing City policies and standards
Councilmembers are not full-time City officials and do not manage the day-to-day activities of the City organization. The City Council deals with the administrative services of the City only through the City Manager and the City Council may not give orders to any subordinates of the City Manager. In addition, no individual Councilmember may give orders or instructions to the City Manager.

Councilmembers are elected by District on a non-partisan ballot. The five Councilmembers serve overlapping four-year terms. The City Council carries out its policy making at meetings held in the City Hall Council Chambers (5775 Carpinteria Avenue, Carpinteria, CA 93013) on the second and fourth Monday of every month at 5:30 pm, with special meetings and/or closed sessions as needed.

Mayor
Upon the re-organization of the Council in December of even years (after the general municipal election), the City Council selects one of its members to serve as Mayor and another to serve as Vice Mayor. The Mayor acts as the presiding officer over City Council meetings. The Mayor has a vote just like other members and does not have the power of veto over actions of the City Council. The Mayor also acts as the official head of the City on public and ceremonial occasions and signs all ordinances, resolutions, and agreements approved by the Council. In the absence of the Mayor, the Vice Mayor shall act as the presiding officer at the Council meeting and act as the ceremonial head of the City and sign official City documents.

6 Carpinteria Council Advisory Group Handbook
Updated February 2026
City Manager
The City Manager is appointed by and under the direction and control of the City Council.

The City Manager is the administrative head of City government and is responsible for the efficient administration of all City affairs that are under their control.

The City Manager takes orders and instructions from the collective City Council only when sitting in a Council meeting.

The City Manager’s duties include:
• Enforcing City laws
• Managing the City departments, programs, and activities • Recommending policy and regulations to the City Council • Keeping the City Council at all times fully advised of the financial condition of the City
• Preparing and submitting a proposed annual budget and salary plan for the City Council to approve
• Hiring, promoting, disciplining, and removing all City staff (except for City Attorney) City Clerk
The City Clerk is responsible for maintaining the legislative record of the City Council and prepares City Council agendas, minutes, legal publications, processes resolutions and ordinances, and manages the recruitment of City Council Advisory Groups (“Council Advisory Groups” or “CAG”). The City Clerk administers municipal elections in conjunction with the County of Santa Barbara. The City Clerk acts as the compliance officer for federal, state, and local statutes including the Political Reform Act, the Ralph M. Brown Act (the “Brown Act”), and the Public Records Act.

City Attorney
The City contracts with the law firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP (“Brownstein”) for its legal services. Brownstein is the legal advisor of the City Council and all other City officials, departments, and Council Advisory Groups.
