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

UPDATES ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Workshop
A CIP Workshop is scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 2026, in the Council Chamber. The workshop will focus on the proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 Capital Improvements Program, including discussions on project prioritization and pavement. The proposed schedule for development of the next five-year CIP will also be presented.
UPDATES ON DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
Save the Dates – Notice of Preparation (NOP) and Scoping Meeting for Coastal Land Use Plan / General Plan (CLUP/GP) Update
As the next step in the CLUP/GP Update process, the Community Development Department is beginning environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This review will evaluate how the updated Plan (i.e., the “Project”) could affect the environment and identify ways to avoid or reduce impacts. The City will prepare a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for this purpose. The first steps in the Environmental Impact Report process are to publish a NOP and hold a Public Scoping Meeting (see flowchart below). City staff and consultants have tentatively scheduled those first steps to occur in the coming weeks:
• NOP Comment Period (30 days): Thursday, May 7 through Friday, June 5, 2026 • Public Scoping Meeting: Monday, May 18, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.
City Hall Council Chambers (5775 Carpinteria Ave) and via Zoom The NOP serves as a formal request for public input on the scope and content of the PEIR. During the 30-day NOP comment period, responsible agencies and members of the public will be encouraged to submit comments related to the Project’s potential environmental issues, suggested mitigation measures, and project alternatives. The Public Scoping Meeting is proposed to be held within that 30-day comment period to further enhance transparency and public participation. While no Project decisions are made at the Public Scoping Meeting, attendees will have the opportunity to ask clarifying questions about the Project and/or the process, and to raise issues regarding the potential environmental impacts in a public setting. This proactive involvement will help ensure that the PEIR comprehensively addresses all relevant environmental concerns, leading to more informed decision-making and better project outcomes. All of this information will be prominently posted on the City’s project webpage at:
https://carpinteriaca.gov/city-hall/community-development/planning/general-plan-localcoastal-plan-update/, and any questions or comments can be directed to [email protected]
Downtown Business Updates
Several new businesses have recently opened or have announced their intention to open in the near future. New openings and coming soon include:
• Coyote’s Market, 4945 A Carpinteria Ave (opened April 11) • Arnie’s Rooftop Bar, 778 Linden Ave (opened April 20) • Field + Fort’s “The Larder,” 1033 Casitas Pass Road (coming this spring) • Skyhop Coastal Goods, 890 Linden Ave (coming this spring) • Rincon Rooms (No-Host Hotel, part of the recently completed Klentner Mixed-Use Development), 4745 Carpinteria Ave (coming this spring) • Rincon Designs Surf Shop, 659 Linden Ave (coming this spring/summer) Via Real Townhomes Residential Development
The project application for the Via Real Townhomes residential development proposed for 6380 Via Real was resubmitted to the City on April 10 and is currently under review.
CDD staff anticipate making a determination concerning application completeness on or before May 8. The proposed project would include 96 for-sale townhome-style residences, in a mix of 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom units. Ten of the units would be deedrestricted as moderate-income units, and two as above-moderate-income units.
GovWell Permit Platform Transition Underway
In December 2025, the City Council approved a contract with GovWell Technologies Inc. (GovWell) to assist the City in the development and hosting of a new online permitting platform that, once fully completed, will allow for all types of City permits to be applied for and processed through the new online portal. The new platform is expected to improve efficiency and tracking for both City staff and applicants.
Since entering into the contract, City staff have been working closely with GovWell staff to gather all necessary information, develop and refine workflows, and build out the first
permit types. Staff expects to begin a “soft launch” of the platform for building permits in the coming weeks, with additional permit types to be added shortly thereafter, and hopes to have the new platform fully operational sometime this coming summer.
OTHER CITY/COMMUNITY UPDATES
Community Garden
The Community Garden welcomed the Campus Earth Learning Cooperative, a small homeschool group from the Carpinteria and Santa Barbara areas, for a field trip on April
15. Approximately 10 children learned about the garden’s composting systems and helped to feed and water an active compost pile.
On Saturday, April 18, from 12:00 p.m.to 4:00 p.m., the Community Garden tabled at the Carpinteria Arts Center’s first-ever Carpinteria Earth Day. Visitors participated in making their own California native seed balls, which can be tossed into gardens to support local biodiversity and pollinator habitats.
On May 9, the Community Garden is excited to host a stop for CycleMAYnia: Carp Family Ride. Approximately 40 participants are expected to visit the garden to learn how to rent a plot and the importance of eating locally to support local farmers, reduce the environmental impacts associated with transporting food over long distances, and have access to fresher, more nutrient-rich produce.
AgeWell
AgeWell will be joining the City of Carpinteria Sustainability & Environment Division for a 5-mile guided bike ride in celebration of CycleMAYnia on Saturday, May 9, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The ride will begin and end at El Carro Park. Participants will explore Carpinteria State Park, the Tomol Interpretive Play Area, and the Carpinteria Community Garden, with stops along the way for bike safety tips. Attendees can also enjoy treats from Rori’s Artisanal Creamery and Frecker Farms, along with complimentary pizza at the finish.
On April 7, AgeWell members had the opportunity to participate in a three-way collaboration with a local middle school and the Alcazar Theatre. As part of this program, students wrote and developed their own plays, drawing inspiration from interviews with AgeWell members. These conversations offered students insight into what life was like in earlier generations and provided meaningful opportunities to share personal experiences and wisdom. The result was a powerful intergenerational experience for all involved.

Quarterly Review of Pension Stabilization Trust.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.
Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the report.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The purpose of the Pension Stabilization Trust is to accumulate, hold, and distribute pension plan assets for the exclusive benefit of retiree pensions within the meaning of IRS Code Section 115. Plan assets are irrevocable and may not be used for any purpose other than the purpose of the Trust. Withdrawal of plan assets is not permitted except to transfer to another trust or to reimburse the City for pension costs paid. in establishing the Pension Trust is to control long-term costs and volatility in the annual operating budget. The trust provides more flexibility for the City to level out contributions and mitigate year-to-year contribution volatility.
Plan contributions transfer assets to the Trust, and accordingly, plan assets are not carried on the City's books and are not subject to the City's investment policy.
Discretionary Trustee Benefit Trust Company (BTC), with the advice of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Consulting Group, actively manages plan assets consistent with the Investment Policy Statement. The City's individual trust account is part of a larger Multiple Employer Trust administered by Keenan Financial Services and BTC, referred to as the California Public Entity Pension Stabilization Trust. BTC also provides the City with monthly, quarterly (Attachment A), and annual statements of activity of the City's account. The Pension Stabilization Trust utilizes a Board of Authority that provides management and oversight of the Trust, with participation by one individual per public agency. The fees are asset-based, paid monthly, deducted directly from the Trust account, and total 30 bps1 annually. This is competitive with other comparable plans. 1 Basis points pertain to interest rates. One basis point is equal to one one-hundredth of one percentage point (0.01%). Therefore, 100 basis points would be equivalent to 1%.

CITY OF CARPINTERIA
CARPINTERIA STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER
RELATIVE TO THE CONTINUATION OF CARPINTERIA STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1
April 27, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This report is prepared pursuant to Resolution No. 6375 as adopted by the City Council on March 23, 2026. The objective of the report is to describe the status of the Carpinteria Street Lighting District No. 1 (District), which provides street lighting for the City and to provide projections for Fiscal Year 2026/27.
2. BACKGROUND
The City assumed responsibility for funding street lighting within the City on July 1, 1977, in conjunction with the detachment of the City from County Service Area No. 11, the funding vehicle for street lighting prior to July 1, 1977. The City ultimately established two special districts to provide funding for street lighting; both are governed by the City Council and both cover the entire City. The second district, Street Lighting District No. 2, was suspended in 1985.
Street Lighting District No. 1 was formed by the City Council on November 22, 1976, for a period of five (5) years starting July 1, 1977 and has been continued each year thereafter in one-year increments. The Street Lighting Act of 1919 was the legal basis for this action. The District was formed to establish a way of financing street lights through the collection of the ad valorem (property) tax. The initial tax rate was about 15 cents per $100.00 of assessed valuation and the second year was 12.95-cents per $100.00. With the adoption of Proposition 13, a limit was placed on the overall tax rate as well as a reduction of the total tax base. Since the passage of Proposition 13, the district's share of the property tax has been about 1.8% of all property tax or a tax rate equivalent to about 1.8 cents per $100.00 of assessed valuation.
On April 9, 2018, City Council adoption of Resolution Nos. 5787 and 5788, concerning a property tax transfer agreement between the City of Carpinteria and Carpinteria Street Lighting District No. 1. These actions resulted to a portion of the fund balance and annual property tax revenue of the District to be transferred to the City of Carpinteria.
Most of the Street lighting in Carpinteria is owned and operated by Southern California Edison Company. The City has a contract with Edison to provide street lighting based on a monthly flat rate as set by the California Public Utilities Commission. The same rate is charged year-round. As owner of the lights, Edison has the responsibility for
maintenance and operations. As the customer, the City determines number, location, and type of lights and pays the bill.
With respect to other public lighting provided by the District, included are lights on the Franklin Creek and Carpinteria Creek Bikeways, Civic Center parking lights, and parking lot lights in Parking Lot Nos. 1, 2 and 3, lights on Linden Avenue between Carpinteria Avenue and the beach and street-end parking lot lights at Elm Avenue, Holly Avenue, and Ash Avenue. All of these lights are City-owned and charges are based on meter readings. In addition to electrical power, funding from this district pays for both the maintenance and operations costs of the city-owned portion of the lighting system.
3. ANNEXATIONS
There were no annexations to either the City or the District during the past fiscal year.
4. STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1
The attached Exhibit 1 is a map of the City and District. The District boundaries are coterminous with the City boundaries with the exception of that portion located offshore.
5. STREET LIGHT INVENTORY
Please refer to the attached Exhibit 2 for a listing of projected street lights by size and cost.
6. FINANCIAL DATA AND PROPOSED FY 2024-25 BUDGET
Exhibit 3 is a Statement of Fund Transactions and Financial Condition for the past three years, current year and next year.
The District also has its own Appropriations Limit pursuant to Proposition 4.
7. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution Nos. 6308 and 6309, thereby acting to accept and file the mandatory annual report and set the matter of the continuation of Street Lighting District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 for public hearing at the regular City Council meeting of May 26, 2026.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Report on Lighting, Landscaping and Right-of-Way Improvement District No. 3 for Fiscal Year 2026/27.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution Nos. 6453 and 6454 to accept and file the mandatory Annual Report of the City Engineer and set the matter of the continuation of Lighting, Landscaping and Right-of-Way improvement District No. 3 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 for a public hearing at the regular City Council Meeting of May 26, 2026.
Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution Nos. 6453 and 6453, as ready by title only.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On March 23, 2026, by Resolution No. 6441, the City Council ordered a report on the status and projections for Lighting, Landscaping and Right of Way Improvement District No. 3 (District) for Fiscal Year 2026/27. The District provides for funding of the maintenance of rights-of-way, including curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and trees. The District may also make assessments for street lighting, but such assessments are not made since the overlapping Street Lighting District No.1 provides for funding that is sufficient to meet current street lighting needs.
The District encompasses the entire City, and assessments are made on a parcel-byparcel basis depending on use, location, and need for services. District revenues are currently used to pay maintenance positions as well as general right-of-way maintenance and water and electric utilities costs.
A report of the City Engineer is required in accordance with California Streets and Highways Code Section 22500 et al., and is the second of a three-step procedural process required each year in order to continue the District. A copy of the Report of the City Engineer is provided as Attachment A. The steps are 1) Order the report and issue the Notice of Intent to continue the assessment District, 2) Accept the report and set for public hearing, and 3) Conduct the public hearing and decide on continuing the District.
Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item No.: 13
Council Meeting Date: April 27, 2026
Report on Lighting, Landscaping and Right-of-Way improvement District No. 3 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 April 27, 2026
The Report by the City Engineer includes a summary of revenue and expenses for the District, providing past years, current year, and projected data for next year. The real property,
have been no assessment increases. Should
an increase in the assessment be considered, the City must abide by the following procedures to impose any new or increased special assessment:
1. Identify the benefit the public improvement will provide.
The City must identify the benefits that the District assessment will provide. The District provides maintenance and repairs of curb, gutter, and sidewalks, tree planting, tree trimming, and tree removal as well as installation and maintenance of landscaped street tree planters and medians.
2. Identify the parcels to receive special benefits.
The City must identify all of the parcels, including property owned by federal, state, or local governmental agencies, which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which the assessment will be imposed.
3. Determine whether the improvements provide general benefits and identify an appropriate source of funding therefore.
Because assessments are limited to capturing the amount of money that especially benefits property, it is necessary to determine if the costs of the improvements provide a general benefit. If so, the general benefit must be paid for with other agency sources of funding.
4. Determine proportionate special benefit.
The assessment on a parcel may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportionate special benefit conferred on such parcel. Accordingly, once all of the parcels are identified, the City must determine the proportionate special benefit to each property in relation to the entirety of the cost of acquiring or constructing an improvement, or of maintaining and operating such an report that supports the assessment by identifying the benefited parcels, distinguishing general from special benefits, and apportioning the assessment.
5. Provide adequate notice of the protest hearing on the proposed assessment.
The City must mail written notice of the proposed assessment to the record owner of each parcel at least forty-five (45) days prior to the public hearing on the proposed assessment. The information in the mailed notice should be based on
Report on Lighting, Landscaping and Right-of-Way improvement District No. 3 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 April 27, 2026
, along
with a ballot to be completed by the owner, where the owner indicates their support or opposition to the proposed assessment.
6. Hold a public hearing.
Not less than forty-five (45) days after mailing the notice, the City must conduct a public hearing. During the hearing, the City must consider all objections to, or protests against, the proposed assessment and tabulate the ballots received before the conclusion of the public hearing.
7. Adopt an increase by Resolution or Ordinance
If there is no majority protest, the City may make a determination to increase or and/or determined at the hearing, and then, by ordinance or resolution, adopt the proposed assessment.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation can be found consistent with policies of the and Local Coastal Plan, as described below.
Community Design Element Objective CD-8: To encourage and facilitate pedestrian and bicycle pathways.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The District annual revenue of approximately $200,800 is insufficient to address both maintenance and capital improvements needed for the District.

March 23, 2026 -- Adopt a resolution ordering the preparation of a report describing the financial status and recommending assessments for fiscal year 2026/27.
April 27, 2026 -- The report is prepared and presented by staff with recommendations. Adopt a resolution accepting the report.

REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER
RELATIVE TO THE ASSESSMENT OF
CARPINTERIA LIGHTING, LANDSCAPING AND RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 3
April 27, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This report is prepared pursuant to Resolution No. 6376 as adopted by the City Council on March 23, 2026. The objective of the report is to describe the status of the District which provides funding for maintenance and improvements to the public right-ofway, including but not limited to maintenance and repair of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street trees, and related activities. Further, the purpose is to provide a recommendation for assessments for the coming year which provides revenue to offset the costs involved in the district.
2. BACKGROUND
The Lighting, Landscaping and Right of Way Improvement District No. 3 (District) was formed under the authority of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 in accordance with California Streets and Highways Code Section 22500 et al. The District was formed after lengthy study and hearings that were completed in June 1985.
Under the provisions of said authority, an annual report of the City Engineer must be presented and a hearing conducted on the proposed assessments for the upcoming fiscal year, Fiscal Year 2026/27. The assessment is not considered a tax in that the "benefit" is derived in accordance with the assessment, which varies from location to location depending upon the level of maintenance required in the public right-of-way adjacent to a parcel.
Effective with the adoption of the Fiscal Year 1992/93 budget, assessments were increased $150,000 to finance the cost of park maintenance previously financed by the General Fund.
With the passage of Proposition 218 in Fiscal Year 1996/97 park maintenance costs became ineligible for funding from this source and the $150,000 assessment for park maintenance was removed from the roll in Fiscal Year 1997/98. In that same year, Carpinteria voters approved a Park Maintenance Tax that was accounted for in a separate Park Maintenance Fund to finance these activities.
ROW District Report by City Engineer for FY 2026/27
3. FINANCIAL DATA/ASSESSMENT INFORMATION
The income stream to the District consists of a fixed dollar assessment on real property, interest, and transfers from other funds. Fund transfers, such as from the Gas Tax Fund, are permitted to offset expenses associated with District staff performing activities as a part of District implementation that qualify for payment through the Gas Tax Fund. Although the expenses of the District are subject to inflationary pressures, there is no corresponding provision for inflationary adjustments to the assessments. The current assessment amount may only be increased by submitting the issue to a vote of Although District revenue is currently not sufficient to cover costs, revenue from other sources ($184,050) such as general fund and Measure A are proposed for use to fully fund the District. See Exhibit 2.
4. DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Exhibit 1 is a map of the District boundary. The District boundary is coterminous with the City boundary with the exception of that portion located off-shore. Public and other exempt properties are not assessed by the District.
5. ANNEXATIONS
There were no annexations to either the City or the District during the past fiscal year.
6. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution Nos. 6310 and 6311, thereby acting to accept and file the mandatory annual report of the City Engineer and set the matter of the continuation of Lighting, Landscaping, Right of Way Improvement District No. 3 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 for public hearing at the regular City Council meeting of May 26, 2026.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Report on Parking and Business Improvement Area Assessment District No. 4 for Fiscal Year 2026/27.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution Nos. 6455 and 6456, acting to accept the mandatory Annual Report and Budget and to set the matter of the continuation of Parking and Business Improvement Area District No. 4 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 for public hearing at the regular City Council meeting of May 26, 2026.
Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution Nos. 6455 and 6456, as read by title only.
BACKGROUND
The Parking and Business Improvement Area Assessment District No. 4 (District) was formed in September 1986 with the adoption of City Ordinance No. 393, pursuant to the California Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1979. The District was formed to enhance a specific area and increase customer/ tourist appeal. Historically, this was accomplished through parking improvements, advertising/promotions, and increased public services like restroom and sidewalk cleanings. In 1989, the State of California repealed the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1979 and enacted the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (Streets and Highways Code Section 36500 et seq.). In 1990, this new law was the impetus for the adoption of Resolution No.1882, which appointed a five-member Downtown T Business Advisory Board (DTBAB) formerly the Parking and Business Improvement Advisory Board (PBIAAB). The role of DTBAB is to advise the City Council on the level of assessments, expenditure of revenues from the assessments, and to provide an Annual Report outlining certain activities within the District for the coming fiscal year. In 2019, the City Council restructured the DTBAB from a five-member body to a sevenmember body with three alternate members.
On March 23, 2026, via Resolution No. 6442, the City Council ordered a report on the status and projections of the District for Fiscal Year 2026/27.
Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item No.: 14
Council Meeting Date: April 27, 2026
Report on Parking and Business Improvement Area Assessment District No. 4 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 April 27, 2026
This matter will allow the City Council, if determined appropriate, to accept the Annual Report and to set a public hearing date for its consideration of continuing the District.
DISCUSSION
The duty is to prepare and present an Annual Report to the City Council that addresses all matters relating to the District, such as the methods and basis of levying the assessments and recommendations on the use of funds collected by the District.
Further, the DTBAB makes recommendations to the City Council for general promotion of business activities, economic growth and stability of the District, and general maintenance issues within the Downtown T . The DTBAB recommended for the Annual Report, provided as Attachment A, to be considered by the City Council. A map of the District boundaries is provided as Attachment B. and related activities, including the Independence Day Parade, Halloween Trick-orTreat, Holiday Spirit Parade, and operation of the light pole banner program. While the District has the capacity to generate up to approximately $20,000 annually if all businesses were occupied, current revenues are lower due to vacancies. including new pavement and sidewalks, landscaping, decorative street lighting, and street furniture (benches, trash receptacles, newspaper vending racks, etc.). No major improvements have been made since that time. However, the City continues to maintain A funds, at an estimated cost of approximately $100,000 per year.
A current statement of fund transactions and financial condition for the District is provided as Attachment C. The proposed assessment roll for Fiscal Year 2026/27 is provided as Attachment D.
The District assessment comprises of the following fees:
General Assessment Fees: Apply to all businesses within the district. These fees are used for promotion, maintenance, and revitalization activities within the District.
Special Parking Assessment Fees: Apply only to selected businesses and are based on parking shortfalls as specified by City Zoning Code and a benefit ratio. The benefit and is used for acquisition, construction, and maintenance of those specific sub area parking improvements. The City has three publicly owned parking lots that are improved through special assessments. The remaining special parking assessment (Parking Lot No. 3) has been paid off and there are no active special parking assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Report on Parking and Business Improvement Area Assessment District No. 4 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 April 27, 2026
Parking Lot # 1 (Located on 9th Street between Yucca Lane and Elm Street) The funding program for this parking lot, which was financed through the sale of serial bonds, was paid off in 1988 by means of property assessments on the individual property owners. In Fiscal Year 1996-97, these fees were levied on businesses adjacent to Parking Lot #1 to reimburse the City for half of the costs incurred for resurfacing of the parking lot. Final payments on this assessment were completed in June 2006.
Parking Lot #2 (Located on Cactus Lane)
The funding program for Parking Lot #2 was established in Fiscal Year 1987-88.
SB 959 Grant monies were used to fund a portion of the cost and funding of the balance was shared equally by the City and the businesses located in the area of benefit. The business-share of the assessment was paid off in June 1997.
Parking Lot #3 (Located at the Amtrak Station on Linden Ave. and Fifth Street) Parking Lot #3 was completed in Fiscal Year 1989-90. SB 959 Grant monies were used on this project and, since this lot was intended to benefit both the downtown and the beach area, a portion of the cost was funded through the Tidelands Trust Fund as well as the City's General Fund. Businesses located in the proximity of Parking Lot #3 (Attachment B -
assessment of $51.00 per parking space shortfall. This debt was paid off in 2018.
Following deliberation by the Downtown T Business Advisory Board at the April 2nd, 2026 meeting, a motion was made, and upon vote, carried unanimously, to increase the current annual assessment of $126.65 in accordance with the March-to-March Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. The Board found the increase necessary to ensure promotion efforts would not be impacted by rising costs. The March-to-March CPI, published on April 10, 2026, shows a 3.4% increase, as such, would increase the annual assessment by $4.30, for a total annual assessment fee of $130.75 in fiscal year 2026/27. The Special Parking Assessment Fees, which apply only to selected businesses, are currently not active, and no increase is considered at this time.
Although the majority of businesses fulfill their assessment obligations in a timely manner, there are occasional instances of delinquency. Regardless, these delinquent businesses continue to receive benefits from the services provided by the District.
Accordingly, the Downtown T Business Advisory Board (DTBAB) recommends that the City Council direct the Administrative Services Department to withhold the renewal of annual business licenses for any business with an outstanding assessment balance until such delinquency is fully resolved. This course of action is permitted under Carpinteria Municipal Code (CMC) Section 5.04. Furthermore, in alignment with CMC Sections 5.04.290 through 5.04.380, DTBAB recommends that delinquent assessments not be subject to forgiveness. Instead, unpaid balances should be carried forward and incorporated into the subsequent fiscal year's assessment, inclusive of any applicable penalties or fines. The City currently provides written notice to businesses in delinquency and, pursuant to CMC Section 5.04.300, reserves the right to initiate legal proceedings should the delinquency remain unresolved. At the time of this report, there
Report on Parking and Business Improvement Area Assessment District No. 4 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 April 27, 2026
are three businesses with an outstanding assessment in the amount of $379.35.
Additionally, DTBAB recommends that newly established businesses opening within the District after the conclusion of the annual billing cycle not be granted a first-year waiver of the assessment fee. Rather, such businesses should be billed on a prorated basis reflective of the remaining duration of the fiscal year. Furthermore, that the City exercise its discretion to levy assessments on a per-storefront basis, rather than per business license, in cases where multiple independent businesses operate within a single storefront (for example, salons with individual stations or shared office spaces with separate tenants). This approach is intended to ensure equitable and consistent assessment application across similarly situated properties.
Lastly, the Board voted to reduce its regular meeting frequency from monthly to bimonthly, with meetings to be held in August, October, December, February, April, and June. The meeting location, time, and day shall remain unchanged: City Hall at 8:30 a.m. on the first Thursday of each designated meeting month.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
The preparation and adoption of the Annual Report is consistent with the requirements laid out in Chapters 3 and 4 of the California Streets and Highways Cod . FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Total revenue from the District is proposed to be approximately $16,500. For Fiscal Year 2026/27, the District would only collect assessment from the General Assessment Fees since the Parking Lot No. 3 debt has been paid off.
The projected fund balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2025/26 is $24,449. The estimated revenue for Fiscal Year 2026/27 is $16,500, and the proposed budget is $16,500. This would leave a fund balance of $24,449 as of June 30, 2026.
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Assessments for the District are made on businesses located within the improvement area; not on property owners. As such, these assessments are not subject to the provisions of Proposition 218. It is possible to establish a district that is property-based making collections through the County property tax roll. However, such a district and assessments would be subject to Proposition 218 requirements.
Carpinteria Municipal Code 5.04.290 through 5.04.380 establishes two options for the City to collect delinquent assessments.
First, the City may levy a fine that prohibits the business from receiving new business licenses (or having suspended or revoked business licenses reinstated) until the business pays the assessment and corresponding fine, or enters into a written agreement with the City to pay the delinquency in installments. (CMC 5.04.290(A).) The
Report on Parking and Business Improvement Area Assessment District No. 4 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 April 27, 2026
fine shall be eight percent of the assessment for every month following the date that the assessment is due, up to a maximum of fifty percent of the total assessment. (CMC
5.04.290(A).)
Second, the City may bring an action against the debtor for the amount of the delinquent assessment and fine. (CMC 5.04.300.) Additionally, the City collector may make additional rules and regulations to aid in the collection of delinquent payments. (CMC 5.04.330.)
OPTIONS
1. Adopt Resolution Nos. 6455 and 6456, acting to accept the mandatory Annual Report and Budget and to set the matter of the continuation of Parking and Business Improvement Area District No. 4 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 for public hearing at the regular City Council Meeting of May 26, 2026.
2. The City Council could choose not to accept the mandatory annual report and/or not set the matter of continuing the Parking and Business Improvement Area District for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for public hearing; however, by omitting this step, the District would not be continued for Fiscal Year 2026/27.
PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
There are no principal parties expected at the meeting.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES
In compliance with local and State regulations, the Downtown T Business Advisory Board (DTBAB) is responsible for providing an operational and financial mechanism to acquire, construct, and maintain off-street public parking facilities. Additionally, the Board makes recommendations to the City Council for general promotion of business activities, economic growth and stability in the District, and general maintenance issues within the Downtown T . The Board has a duty to prepare and present an Annual Report to the City Council that addresses all matters relating to the Assessment District, including the methods and basis of levying the assessments and recommendations on use of funds collected by the District. Prior to preparing this report the Board reviewed the status of delinquent assessment fees and changes that have taken place on the assessment roll during the past year.
BACKGROUND
California State Law and Streets and Highways Code Sections 36500-36504 prescribe the process for levying assessments and establish guidelines for the appointment of an Advisory Board to make recommendations on assessments and use of funds collected by the Assessment District. The Downtown T Business Advisory Board was created in 1990 pursuant to the California Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 and was composed of five members (three assessment paying members and two at-large members). On June 24, 2019 the City Council restructured the Downtown T Business Advisory Board to seven members (four assessment paying members and three at-large members), as well as three alternate members. The members are appointed by the Mayor, subject to the advice and consent of the City Council. They serve at the pleasure of the City Council without pay. Four of the members must represent businesses paying assessment fees in Assessment District No. 4. The remaining three members, while preferably business-related and representative of the Assessment District, may be any qualified persons as determined by the Council. In addition, to the seven members, the City Council also created three alternate assessment-paying members to assist in obtaining a quorum.

District Boundaries
The boundaries of Carpinteria Assessment District No. 4 include the areas adjacent to Linden Avenue from the railroad to Carpinteria Avenue and from Holly Avenue to Palm Avenue. All businesses located within the boundary of the Carpinteria Parking and Business Improvement Area District No. 4 are subject to a general business improvement assessment as set by City Ordinance and, where applicable, a special parking benefit assessment fee based on parking requirements as outlined in the City's zoning ordinance.
The District Boundaries can be found following this report.
PARKING ASSESSMENT
Businesses within the boundaries of the Assessment District are subject to a special parking benefit assessment fee, which is used to reimburse the City's General Fund for the costs associated with the City's three parking lots. By City Ordinance No. 393, the funds derived from this assessment must be used exclusively for the purpose of acquisition, construction, and maintenance of off-street parking.
The criteria used for establishing parking assessments is based on the parking requirement per the zoning ordinance, less any on-site parking provided by the business, adjusted to reflect the benefit derived from the parking lot based on distance and accessibility to the parking lot.
Parking Lot # 1 (Located on 9th Street between Yucca Lane and Elm Street) The funding program for this parking lot, which was financed through the sale of serial bonds, was paid off in 1988 by means of property assessments on the individual property owners. In FY 1996-97 an assessment fee was levied on businesses adjacent to Parking Lot #1 to reimburse the City for costs incurred for resurfacing of the parking lot. Final payments on this assessment were completed in June, 2006.
Parking Lot #2 (Located on Cactus Lane)
The funding program for Parking Lot #2 was established in FY 1987-88. SB 959 Grant monies were used to fund a portion of the cost and funding of the balance was shared equally by the City and the businesses located in the area of benefit. The business share of the assessment was paid off in June, 1997.
Parking Lot #3 (Located at the Amtrak Station on Linden Ave. and Fifth Street) Parking Lot #3 was completed in FY 1989-90. SB 959 Grant monies were used on this project and, since this lot was intended to benefit both the downtown and the beach area, a portion of the cost was funded through the Tidelands Trust Fund as well as the City's General Fund. Businesses located in the proximity of Parking Lot #3 were assessed for the construction of the parking lot. This assessment was paid off in 2018.
Board Recommendation:
The Downtown T Business Advisory Board recommends the following to the City Council:
Parking Lot # 1, Parking Lot #2, and Parking Lot #3
Parking Lots #1, #2, and #3 are paid off. No action taken by Board.
GENERAL BUSINESS ASSESSMENT
All businesses located within the boundaries of District No. 4 are required to pay a general business assessment fee.
As outlined by City Ordinance No. 393, funds derived from the general business improvement assessment are restricted funds and must be used exclusively for the benefit of general business revitalization, promotion and improvement within the boundaries of the Parking and Business Improvement Assessment District No.4.
The General Business Assessment fee for all businesses located within the Parking and Business Improvement Area District No. 4 had not been increased since 1991 when City Resolution No. 1998 increased the assessment from the Fifty Dollars ($50.00) set by Ordinance in 1988, to One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per business per year. On June 27, 2011, the annual general assessment was increased to One Hundred Fifteen Dollars ($115.00) per business per year, including an annual inflationary adjustment with a maximum increase of 3% annually. In 2012, the general assessment fee was adjusted to $117.00 and in 2013 was $119.00 following the inflationary adjustments. For Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22, the Board suspended the general assessment to support Downtown T businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic and in Fiscal Year 2022-23, the Board reinstated the $119.25 per business general assessment.
DTBAB ANNUAL REPORT FY 202 -202
Board Recommendation:
The Downtown T Business Advisory Board recommends the following to the City Council:
FUNDING OF DTBAB EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
With the adoption of a City Marketing Plan in 1993, the City Council authorized the PBIA Board to fund events and activities in the Downtown "T" with monies derived from the annual General Business Assessment fees. The use of the restricted business assessment fees as the primary funding source changed the scope of the 1993 City Marketing Plan, at least geographically, from focus on a "Community-wide" plan to a Downtown "T" plan.
The Downtown T Business Advisory Board budget allocates the fees for planning and promotion of events held in the Downtown "T", as well as cooperative advertising programs, preparation and distribution of a courtesy map listing merchants in the Downtown "T", maintenance and replacement of the existing flag (banner) systems, a signage program, and many other maintenance/improvement activities.
It should be noted that the Project Carpinteria Committee, which was formed under the Marketing Plan and made up of PBIAAB members and representatives of the Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce, has been dissolved and is no longer an active Committee under the Downtown T Business Advisory Board.
In October, 2007 the City Council approved the formation of a more inclusive community committee, separating it from the PBIAAB. Funding for the new "Carpinteria First" Committee was provided by the General Fund, with the expectation that the Committee would focus on events and activities that benefit the entire community. The Carpinteria First Committee was dissolved in 2019.
The Downtown T Business Advisory Board continues to have the responsibility and duty to oversee the Assessment District parking and business assessment fees in compliance with State regulations, including the responsibility to promote and encourage the economic growth and stability of the district. The Board also continues to plan and promote activities and events in the Downtown "T".
The DTBAB reviewed the proposed 202 -2 budget prepared by City staff. The balanced budget included various promotional, marketing, maintenance, improvements and special events that highlight the Downtown T . In adopting the budget, the DTBAB recommends
DTBAB ANNUAL REPORT FY 202 -202
DTBAB ANNUAL REPORT FY
202 -202 Page 5 of 5
that the budget be reviewed during the next fiscal year to explore ways to reduce the costs of the special events and parades while increasing the funds allocated to promotions and marketing.
PROPOSALS
The Downtown T Business Advisory Board recommends the following proposals to the City Council:
. Unpaid balances from an individual merchant continue to not be forgiven, but the balance due be carried forward and added to assessments billed to that business in the next fiscal year. Those merchants currently delinquent will be sent out a delinquent notice and letter.
PRESENTATION OF REPORT
It is recommended that the City Council accept this report and continue the existing Parking and Business Improvement Area District No. 4 for Fiscal Year 202 -202 , including the various proposals and recommendations associated therewith as presented or with modification.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Report on Winter Protection Berm Assessment District No. 5 for Fiscal Year 2026/27.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6457 to accept the mandatory Annual Report and Budget and to schedule a public hearing on the continuation of Assessment District No. 5 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 at the regular City Council meeting on May 26, 2026.
Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6457, as read by title only.
BACKGROUND
The Assessment District No. 5 (District) for the Winter Protection Berm Program was formed by Resolution No. 3061, dated December 14, 1992, in order to fund a sand berm facility as a measure of shoreline protection for Carpinteria City Beach and immediately adjacent properties. Each year, the City must hold a public hearing to receive public input, including any protests, prior to consideration of setting the annual assessment charged to properties within the District s boundaries.
This matter would allow the City Council, if determined appropriate, to accept the Annual Report and Budget and to set a public hearing date for its consideration of continuing the District.
DISCUSSION
The adoption of Resolution No. 6457 (Attachment A), is the next step of the benefit assessment district process. Resolution No. 6457 sets the date of the public hearing for May 26, 2026, when final action on the setting of the annual assessment for the District may be taken pursuant to Government Code Section 54954.6, which pertains to notice of assessments.
In acco roceedings, the City Engineer
filed a report with the City Clerk as required by the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913. The report contains the following parts:
Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item No.: 15
Council Meeting Date: April 27, 2026
Report on Winter Protection Berm Assessment District No. 5 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 April 27, 2026
A. Plans and specifications of Winter Protection Berm Project.
B. Estimate of Project Cost.
C. Assessment Role of Parcels of Land within Assessment District.
D. Method of Apportionment of Assessment.
E. Assessment Role of the Owners of Parcels of Land within Assessment District.
F. Assessment Diagram.
G. Collection Statement.
H. Unpaid Assessment Statement.
The City utilizes the revenue from the District to partially pay for the Winter Protection Berm Program. Should the District not collect the funds as programmed, the City would need to find an alternative source of funds or discontinue the District.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation can be found consistent with policies of the and Local Coastal Plan, as described below.
Safety Element Objective S-4: Minimize the potential risks and reduce the loss of life, property and the economic and social dislocations resulting from flooding.
Implementation Measure No. 13: The City shall support and facilitate the current Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) feasibility study and otherwise pursue long-term solutions for beach nourishment and establishment of a vegetated dune system at City Beach. As an interim measure, and with permission from the Coastal Commission and US Army Corps of Engineers, the City may construct a sand berm on the City Beach parallel to the homes fronting on the beach. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
District Funding $20,228.34
City Contribution $74,471.66
Total Annual Cost $94,700.00
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The protection provided by the Winter Protection Berm Program is not intended to serve as a substitute for any flood protection improvements or flood insurance. The Winter Protection Berm Program is not impervious to being destroyed itself. Even with the Winter Protection Berm Program in place, the possibility of damage to public and private improvements by winter storms still exists.
Report on Winter Protection Berm Assessment District No. 5 for Fiscal Year 2026/27 April 27, 2026

2. The City Council, at its discretion, may modify the findings of the Report in any respect (Streets and Highway Code Section 10300) and the modified Report will stand as the Report for all subsequent proceedings except that the City Council may not change the boundaries of the District to include any territory that will not, in its judgment, be benefitted by the improvement.

Estimate of Cost
Winter Protection Berm
Fiscal Year 2026/27
This Estimate of Cost for the Winter Protection Berm Program is prepared in order to determine the anticipated cost of installation, maintenance, and removal.
Variables that exist in this estimation include not knowing what beach conditions will be for the berm installation in the fall, what level of maintenance will be necessary to keep the berm intact during the winter and how much machine time will be needed to remove the berm in the springtime. Other components of the cost estimate are more reliable.
These components include the cost of biological reporting and project administration.
For Fiscal Year 2026/27, the total annual cost is estimated to be $94,700. The paragraph that follows is a general description of the scope of work that is involved with cost of the Winter Protection Berm.
The quantity of maintenance needed throughout the winter storm season is based upon the severity of weather encountered during the time the Winter Protection Berm is in place. Some winters require no maintenance while others can require a significant maintenance effort. An amount should be contributed each year in an effort to anticipate some level of maintenance. Removal of the Winter Protection Berm in order to return berm material to the upper tidal zone and to reconfigure the beach to a natural spring profile also varies for several reasons. Should the winter be exceptionally mild, and the Winter Protection Berm remains one hundred percent intact, a greater amount of time will be required to remove it. After some winter seasons, a significant portion of the Winter Protection Berm is eroded away, reducing berm removal costs.
Removal costs can thereby vary significantly from year to year. Biological monitoring is a requirement of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and California Coastal Commission, respectively, whom grant authority to the City to implement the Winter Protection Berm.
Under the biological monitoring plan, the California grunion and snowy plover bird must be monitored each season in order to ensure mechanical beach sand movement does not interfere with the spawning or nesting grounds. This procedure is performed by the City with consultation being performed by a qualified biologist. The administration of the Winter Protection Berm Program includes the management of the assembly and disassembly work as well as the preparation of monitoring reports that must be submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and California Coastal Commission. The table below shows the cost breakdown of the Winter Protection Berm:
Description Cost
Construction $45,000
Land Surveyor $6,420
Biologist $1,000
Permits $3,000
Temporary Traffic Control $2,400
Administration $21,140
Subtotal $78,980
Operational Reserve (Not Collected)*, 25% $19,740
Total $94,700
* Operational Reserve is the cost of emergency response and reshaping of Winter Protection Berm - The total assessment was initially set in January 1997 by mail balloting. In that process at the time, the total fees were set at $20,228.34. The City of Carpinteria may not raise that assessment without an affirmative vote of the affected property owners.
For Fiscal Year 2026/27, the City will contribute an amount of $74,471.66. Therefore, the net amount assessable on land is $20,228.34.

Method of Apportionment of Assessment
Winter Protection Berm Program
Fiscal Year 2026/27
The Winter Protection Berm is placed within Carpinteria City Beach, which is bordered on the east by Linden Avenue and to the west by Ash Avenue. The Winter Protection Berm is placed in the fall season in order to provide for a measure of protection to parcels from severe winter storms and wave action. In order to fairly assess the oceanfront properties that directly benefit from the Winter Protection Berm, a formula was developed which reflects the benefit each parcel of land receives.
First, the cost of providing the service is divided into fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs are those that are required regardless of the amount of sand actually moved.
These include the permit compliance, biological monitoring, and administration. The fixed costs are apportioned equally to all parcels within the boundaries of the Assessment District No. 5. The contribution toward the maintenance fund is also included among the fixed costs. Costs include labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals, and for doing all work involved in the Winter Protection Berm. Since beach frontage, variable cost is assigned to each property based upon its actual length of beach frontage. Condominium or apartment properties beach frontage was determined by dividing the number of units in each complex by the length of the property's beach frontage. These variable and fixed costs were apportioned to each property and an assessment assigned as part of a Proposition 218 vote and the assessments have not been altered in subsequent years.
The City-owned property is assessed in the same fashion in order to comply with Article XIII D of the California Constitution.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Annual Review of . STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve and adopt Resolution No. 6459, updating the City Master Fee Schedule.
Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6459, approving the Schedule.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this agenda item is for the City Council to consider and approve updates
3.1%. This adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area for the month of December.
If approved, the revised Master Fee Schedule will take effect on July 1, 2026, with select exceptions within the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department (Exhibit 1) for additional details.
DISCUSSION
Ensuring that the City recovers its costs for consumer and fee-based services is a key component of fiscal stabilization. While both public agencies and private businesses must understand the minimum fee required for cost recovery, California cities are legally limited to recovering only the actual cost of service unlike private businesses that may charge for profit.
When fees are not adjusted regularly, the actual cost of providing services may exceed the fees collected, resulting in a subsidy from the General Fund. To avoid this, the City must update fees in line with changing service delivery costs.

updates to the Master Fee Schedule, along with the associated variance amounts (increases, decreases, or new). Community Development has introduced a new Temporary Banner Permit fee of $40. Public Works has added a 5% Technology Surcharge to all engineering plan check fees, consistent with the approach used by Community Development. Parks, Recreation, and Community Services has also added an event staffing fee for the Community Garden at $26 per hour, as well as new Ocean Beach Services rentals
additional details.
This year, staff has also included a Schedule of Fees and Charges to provide a more user-friendly and consolidated view of all City fees. This schedule is intended to improve transparency and accessibility by organizing fees in a clear format and including brief descriptions for each charge. In addition, Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS) fees have been incorporated into both the Master Fee Schedule and the Schedule of Fees and Charges to ensure consistency and provide a comprehensive overview of all applicable City fees. This information is provided in Attachment C.
City staff will continue to review and update the Master Fee Schedule annually (March/April) and bring it forward for Council consideration. Per Government Code Section 66017, certain fees or fee increases must take effect no sooner than 60 days after Council adoption.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
Most City fees are targeted to recover 100% of the associated service cost. However, in some cases, the Council has chosen to set recovery levels below 100% based on policy priorities. These are intentional choices, but overall, ensuring that service costs are -term fiscal health
and sustainability.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Approval of this action will establish a revised Master Fee Schedule effective July 1, 2026, for Fiscal Year 2026/27, with select exceptions within the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department becoming effective May 22, 2026. The additional revenue generated through these updated fees will help offset increasing service delivery costs, maintain a balanced budget, and reduce reliance on discretionary funding sources.
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
None.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Single Audit Report for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025.
Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the Single Audit Report.
BACKGROUND
All non-federal entities that expend $750,000 or more of Federal awards in a fiscal year are subject to a single or program-specific audit conducted for the fiscal year. It is intended to provide assurance to both the Federal and State Government that the City has adequate internal controls in place and is generally in compliance with program requirements. Local governments are required to obtain an audit pursuant to the Federal Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and prepare a reporting package that is submitted to both the California State Controller's Office (SCO), which serves as the Single Audit oversight agency for most California local governments, and the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC), which acts as an executive agent for the Office of Management and Budget.
The City expended approximately $1.06 million in federal funds during Fiscal Year 2024/25, exceeding the Single Audit threshold. The Carpinteria Avenue Bridge Replacement project and the East Via Real Stormwater project were identified as major programs subject to Single Audit requirements.
DISCUSSION
The Single Audit Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, completed by Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP (RAMS), found no instances of noncompliance with applicable laws, regulations, or grant requirements. The audit was conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the Agenda Section: Consent Calendar

requirements of 2 CFR Part 200. Based on the audit, RAMS issued an unmodified The audit identified one finding related to internal controls over financial reporting, specifically a significant deficiency in the preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). During the audit, multiple revisions were required to ensure the SEFA accurately reflected federal expenditures and properly identified the federal program number. This indicates that existing review and preparation procedures were not sufficient to ensure accuracy prior to audit submission.
Importantly, no material weaknesses were identified, and no findings were reported for federal awards (major programs).
The City has developed corrective actions to address this deficiency, including implementing a formalized review process and developing a comprehensive grant management policy.
The Single Audit Report was presented to the Finance/Budget Committee at a special meeting held on April 27, 2026.

This action is consistent with federal requirements under 2 CFR Part 200, which requires a Single Audit for entities expending $750,000 or more in federal awards accounta

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditors Report
To the Honorable City Council
City of Carpinteria, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards), the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Carpinteria (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Citys basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 21, 2025.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Citys internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Citys internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Citys internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Citys financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. We identified certain a deficiency in internal control, described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item 2025-001 that we consider to be a significant deficiency.
- 2 -
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Citys financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Citys Response to Findings Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the Citys response to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. The Citys response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Citys internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Citys internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM;
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE; AND
REPORT ON SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
Independent Auditors Report
To the Honorable City Council
City of Carpinteria, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the City of Carpinteria (the Citys) compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the Citys major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2025. The Citys major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Citys compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the Citys federal programs.
- 4 -
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on Citys compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about Citys compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding Citys compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. obtain an understanding of Citys internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Citys internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Citys basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon, dated November 21, 2025, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

- 7 -
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) includes the federal awards activity of City of Carpinteria (the City) under federal programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information in this SEFA is presented in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the SEFA presents only a selected portion of the operations of the City, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or fund balance, or cash flows of the City. For the purposes of this schedule, federal financial assistance includes both federal financial assistance received directly from a federal agency, as well as federal funds received indirectly by the City from a nonfederal agency or other organization. Only that portion of program expenditures reimbursable with such federal funds are reported in the accompanying schedule. Program expenditures in excess of the maximum federal reimbursement authorized or the portion of the program expenditures that were funded with state, local or other non-federal funds are excluded from the accompanying schedule.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The expenditures included in the accompanying schedule were reported on the accrual basis of accounting.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, expenditures are recognized in the period incurred. In addition, such expenditures are recognized following cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Expenditures reported include any property or equipment acquisitions incurred under federal programs. 3. De Minimis Indirect Cost Rate Effective October 1, 2024, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) revised the Uniform Guidance under 2 CFR Part 200 to increase the de minimis indirect cost rate from 10% to 15% of Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC). Awards issued prior to October 1, 2024 (and not subsequently amended) continue to apply the 10% de minimis rate. Awards issued or amended on or after October 1, 2024 apply the revised 15% de minimis rate. The City has elected not to use the de minimis indirect cost rate for any federal awards.

Section II: Financial Statement Findings
2025-001 Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Significant Deficiency
Criteria
Management is responsible for establishing, maintaining, and monitoring internal controls over preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal awards (SEFA), and for its accurate presentation in accordance with 2 CFR 200.510(b).
Condition
During the audit, multiple revisions were made to the SEFA to accurately capture federal expenditures within the fiscal year under audit. These revisions were related to the amount of expenditures reported and the identification of federal programs and grantors.

The City did not accurately prepare the SEFA in accordance with 2 CFR 200.510(b), causing delays in the single audit process.
Effect
Risk of misidentification and misstatement of program expenditures, which may jeopardize future grant funding and incorrect identification of major programs.
Identification as a repeat finding
No.
Recommendation
We recommend that the City formally document its existing procedures for preparation of the SEFA and incorporate sufficient time for a thorough review and approval process prior to submitting the SEFA for audit.
Managements response
See attached Corrective Action Plan.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Consideration of Resolution No. 6458, Approving Appointments to Advisory Board.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6458, approving appointments to the Downtown T Business Advisory Board or direct staff to defer the appointments to the biennial appointment process for all Council Advisory Groups and continue the recruitment.
Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6458, as read by title only, approving the appointment of Nathan Pratt as an at-large member and Justin Fitzgerald as an alternate assessment-paying member to the Downtown T Business Advisory Board or direct staff to defer the appointments to the biennial appointment process for all Council Advisory Groups and continue the recruitment.
BACKGROUND
The Carpinteria Parking and Business Improvement Area District was formed in 1986 pursuant to the California Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1979.
Effective January 1, 1990, the State of California repealed the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1979 and enacted a new and similar law, the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989. Most notably, the new law required the appointment of an advisory board to make recommendations to the City Council on the use of Business Improvement District funds collected through assessments. In response, on January 8, 1990, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 1882 establishing the Parking and Business Improvement Area Advisory Board, now known as the Downtown "T" Business Advisory Board (or DTBAB).
The purpose of this agenda item is for the Council to consider appointing members to the DTBAB.
Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 18
Council Meeting Date: April 27, 2026
Appointment to DTBAB
April 27, 2026
DISCUSSION
There is currently one vacancy for an at-large member and three vacancies for alternate assessment-paying members. The City has received two applications and supplemental questionnaires from two applicants, one applying for the at-large member and the other applying for the alternate assessment-paying member (see Attachments A and B). The applicant applying for the at-large member position, qualifies as such. An at-large member may be any qualified individual as determined by the City Council. The individual applying for the alternate assessment-paying member position also qualifies, as they own a business within the boundary of the Parking Business & Improvement Area Assessment District.
The current Council Advisory Group term is through January 31, 2027 and staff will begin the biennial (every two year) recruitment effort for all Council Advisory Groups in December 2026 for the next term. Due to receiving only one application for each member position, the Council may defer the appointments to the biennial appointment process for all Council Advisory Groups and direct staff to continue with recruitment until that time. Notice of the current vacancies on all Council Advisory Groups has been posted online and at City Hall in accordance with the Maddy Act.
Below is a more detailed explanation of the current membership composition, responsibilities, meeting schedule, and funding for the DTBAB:

Cal Cities' advocacy efforts are strongest when joined by the voices of city leaders.
Below is a list of current legislative proposals that local officials should act on to support cities' top legislative priorities, along with sample support or opposition letters.
Call on CARB Now to Reject Proposed Advanced Clean Fleets Requirements Action requested: Submit a letter by April 17 to oppose CARB’s Advanced Clean Fleets proposal.
Background: The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has released 15-day proposed modifications to the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation that scale back and adjust the program in response to federal limitations on CARB’s authority over private and federal fleets, as well as statutory direction under AB 1594 (Chapter 585, 2023) to provide flexibility for public agency utility fleets.
Why CARB’s Advanced Clean Fleets Rulemaking is important to cities:
CARB’s modified rule would apply to PRIVATE FLEETS that contract services with local municipalities (waste haulers, street sweepers, construction, among other services).
Any city that hires or dispatches medium or heavy-duty vehicles must now include a mandatory regulatory disclosure in contracts and report that to CARB. Each year, a municipality must verify that contracted fleets are listed as compliant on CARB’s ACF website.
Cities are strongly encouraged to submit comments in opposition, emphasizing that the proposal fundamentally changes municipal contracts by making emissions compliance a contractual and administrative responsibility, not just an operational one.
Links and attachments: 15-day proposed modifications and a sample city letter (attached).

Sample city opposition letter
Support $400 Million Funding Request for Proposition 36 Implementation Action requested: Submit a letter and call your legislator urging support of a $400 million budget request to fully fund Proposition 36.
Why is this budget request important for cities:
• California voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act, in 2024. This measure created a new Treatment-Mandated Felony to address the surge in retail theft and shoplifting. • Last year, the Legislature provided approximately $100 million to begin Prop. 36 implementation, but no funding was provided for probation — a key factor to ensuring offenders are held accountable and receive treatment. • This $400 million budget request addresses the investments needed to expand service capacity, secure in-custody treatment, and allow for individualized planning and monitoring for those in our communities.
Additional background: Cal Cities is urging lawmakers to approve a $400 million request from Asm. Stephanie Nguyen and Sen. Catherine Blakespear for probation, accountability, and assessment. Cal Cities also testified in support of the funding during an Assembly Budget subcommittee in mid-March.
Links and attachments: Cal Cities support letter for the $400 million request and a sample city letter.
Where to send letters: Please send your letter to the staffer for Senate Budget Subcommittee #5 members (see below), your legislator, [email protected], and RPAM email.
