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.

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.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Proclamation designating National Public Works Week.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Proclamation designating May 17 through 23, 2026, as National Public Works Week.

Sample Motion: I move to approve the Proclamation designating May 17 through 23, 2026, as National Public Works Week.

BACKGROUND
National Public Works Week is an annual observance to celebrate the tens of thousands of individuals who work on public works, including infrastructure, facilities, and services that are vital to sustainable and resilient communities, and support health, safety, and quality of life all across North America. This work would not be possible without the commitment, dedication, and expertise of the public works personnel employed at all levels of government and the private sector, to plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain , streets, highways,
bridges, railroads, transit systems, pipelines, canals, ports, and airports), public facilities (e.g., government buildings, schools, and hospitals), public spaces (e.g., squares, parks, and beaches), public services (e.g., water treatment and distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, solid waste collection, street sweeping, and utilities), public resources and conservation (e.g., energy, groundwater, and recycled water), and fleet and equipment (e.g., law enforcement vehicles, fire apparatus, and government vehicles and equipment).

The first celebration of National Public Works Week was in 1960. It was in that year the United States Senate adopted a resolution affirming the first National Public Works Week. Then, in 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed the Presidential Proclamation of National Public Works Week. As a joint effort, the American Public Works Association and Canadian Public Works Association promote National Public Works Week throughout North America. Government agencies, as well as the private sector, may choose how they wish to celebrate and acknowledge National Public Works Week.

Agenda Item No.: 4
Council Meeting Date: May 11, 2026

Proclamation Designating National Public Works Week
May 11, 2026

Public works personnel have also long partnered with public safety personnel (i.e. law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical) as first responders in emergency preparedness, response, and recovery, especially among the City of Carpinteria, Santa -Summerland Fire Protection
District. In 2003, President George W. Bush defined, through Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8 (HSPD-8), the term first responder to also include public works personnel. As first responders in accordance with HSPD-8, public works personnel are among those responsible for protection and preservation of life, property, evidence, and environment, during those critical early stages of incident response.

To provide public awareness of public works personnel as first responders and the proper identification thereof, the Board of Directors of the American Public Works Association passed a motion in November 2017 to launch a campaign to promote public works personnel as first responders and approved the adoption of a new Public Works First Responder symbol, as seen here:

Public Works First Responder Symbol
<White Words on Black Stripe>
<Orange Stripe>
<White Stripe>
<Orange Stripe>
<White Words on Black Stripe>
Through the campaign of the American Public Works Association, professional public safety organizations such as the International Association of Fire Chiefs, acknowledges the Public Works First Responder symbol as it is clearly associated with public works personnel on the scene of an incident.

On May 11, 2020, the City Council designated the Public Works First Responder symbol as a permanent official City of Carpinteria symbol for City public works personnel, in acknowledgement of their duties as a first responder, to be affixed to City public works personnel uniforms, vehicles, and equipment.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to provide an opportunity for the City Council to pay tribute to all public works personnel and to raise public awareness about public works personnel as first responders.

Proclamation Designating National Public Works Week
May 11, 2026

DISCUSSION
From the first National Public Works Week in 1960, the year 2026 marks the 66th Anniversary of National Public Works Week and is sponsored by the American Public Works Association and Canadian Public Works Association. This year, the American Public Works Association and Canadian Public Works Association designated the week of May 17 through 23, 2026
Rooted in Service, Powered by Community. The theme acknowledges the roots of service run deep in public works, and it is what has propelled public works innovations that have helped communities including the Carpinteria community evolve into places where people can lead lives of purpose and possibility.

In recognition of the dedicated efforts of public works personnel, staff recommends to approve the Proclamation in designating May 17 through 23, 2026, as National Public Works Week. The Proclamation is shown as Attachment A.

POLICY CONSISTENCY

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

UPDATES ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Living Shoreline Project
The Sustainability & Environment Division, in partnership with project consultants from Integral Consulting Inc. and Rincon Consultants, hosted two community events in April for the City of Carpinteria’s Living Shoreline Project.

On April 16, staff and consultants hosted a pop-up event at the Carpinteria Farmer’s Market, bringing project information directly to the community in a familiar and accessible setting. Community members and visitors had the opportunity to learn about the project, ask questions, and share feedback while visiting the market. This outreach proved effective, as several residents who visited the pop-up later attended the Community Workshop.

Agenda Section: City Manager’s Report
Agenda Item No.: 9
Council Meeting Date: May 11, 2026

On April 25, more than 25 community members attended the Living Shoreline Community Workshop at the Carpinteria Veterans Memorial Building. Participants engaged with City staff and project scientists to learn about the science behind nature-based solutions and to discuss coastal challenges such as sea level rise and erosion. Attendees also shared how they use and value Carpinteria’s City Beach and described what a successful living shoreline would look like from their perspective.

Staff heard thoughtful input from community members, including District 1 (beach neighborhood) residents who shared historical knowledge and experiences with past flooding events, expressed interest in protecting coastal views and property values, and asked questions about project benefits and design considerations. Overall, attendees appreciated the opportunity to be involved early in the process and expressed interest in continued engagement during the design phase. Exit surveys were collected at the workshop, and results will be shared once compiled and analyzed.

UPDATES ON DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
Notice of Preparation (NOP) and Scoping Meeting for Coastal Land Use Plan / General Plan (CLUP/GP) Update
The Community Development Department has initiated environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the CLUP/GP Update. The City will prepare a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for this purpose. This PEIR will evaluate how the updated Plan (i.e., the “Project”) could affect the environment and identify ways to avoid or reduce impacts.

A Notice of Preparation (NOP) was published on Thursday, May 7, and serves as a formal request for public input on the scope and content of the PEIR. The NOP comment period will run for 30 days, ending on Friday, June 5, 2026. 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.

A Public Scoping Meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 18, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. and will take place in the City Hall Council Chambers (5775 Carpinteria Ave) and via Zoom. The Public Scoping Meeting is proposed to be held within the 30-day NOP 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]
Chevron Decommissioning
Chevron notified the City that onshore decommissioning activities will be paused while final approval of the Remedial Action Plan is completed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which is waiting on concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Office. During the pause, Chevron will continue the required, relevant monitoring and mitigation measures.

Offshore decommissioning activities will continue, and the public may continue to see boat/barge activity offshore of the Tar Pits Park area.

Work to establish a dedicated electrical power source for the Casitas Pier (to allow power to be turned off to the onshore plant) is tentatively planned for late May, subject to coordination with Southern California Edison. This work may require a temporary closure and detour of the Coastal Vista Trail near the pier while construction is underway.

Architectural Review Boardmember Richard Johnson Steps Down After 18 Years Service to City
Architectural Review Boardmember Richard Johnson has announced he is stepping down from his role on the City’s Architectural Review Board (ARB), effective immediately after 18 years of service to the City. The City thanks Mr. Johnson for his invaluable service and dedication to helping preserve and enhance the character of Carpinteria’s neighborhoods and business districts. A formal recognition for his service will be planned for an upcoming City Council meeting.

The City is currently accepting applications for the ARB seat vacated by Mr. Johnson.

Interested persons can visit the City website at: https://carpinteriaca.gov/city-hall/cityclerk/#Council_Advisory_Groups or contact the City Clerk, Brian Barrett, at [email protected] for more information.

OTHER CITY/COMMUNITY UPDATES
Bid Platform
The City has recently implemented Beacon Bid, a new bid platform designed to significantly enhance the visibility and accessibility of its project solicitations. Beacon Bid is now live and can be accessed using the link below and on the City’s website.

This initiative is intended to streamline the bidding process while expanding awareness of upcoming opportunities to a broader and more diverse pool of vendors.

By centralizing bid postings in a modern, user-friendly system, the City is making it easier for interested contractors and service providers to discover, review, and respond to solicitations in a timely manner. This approach improves transparency, fosters greater competition, and ultimately helps the City secure the best value for public projects.

City staff will continue to monitor the platform’s effectiveness and provide updates as needed. In the meantime, departments are being supported in transitioning to the new system to ensure a smooth rollout.

Link: https://www.beaconbid.com/solicitations/city-of-carpinteria/open City web page: https://carpinteriaca.gov/city-bids-rfps/ Contract Management Software
In an effort to strengthen contract oversight and management processes, the City has entered into an agreement for a contract management software system designed to track, monitor, and provide notifications on contract status.

This platform will support improved organization and visibility of active agreements, including key milestones, deadlines, and renewal dates. Once fully implemented, it is expected to enhance compliance, reduce administrative risk, and improve overall efficiency in contract administration.

The City is currently in the implementation phase of this contract management system.

Staff are working to configure the platform, migrate existing contract data, and establish standardized processes to ensure successful adoption across departments.

Community Garden
On May 9, the Community Garden hosted a stop for CycleMAYnia: Carp Family Ride.

Riders learned about renting a garden plot, participated in garden-themed trivia, and connected with other participants.

Throughout April, the Community Garden’s composting systems successfully diverted 201 pounds of food and garden scraps from the landfill.

AgeWell
Saturday Excursion
AgeWell joined the Carpinteria’s Sustainability & Environment Division’s CycleMAYnia which was held on Saturday, May 9, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Sample Motion: I move to approve the First Amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement between the City of Carpinteria (City) and ESA to increase the compensation amount of the Agreement by $74,443 for the Surfliner Inn Project environmental documents.
(motion requires a roll call vote)

BACKGROUND
The City Council approved the Consultant Services Agreement (Attachment B) with ESA on April 14, 20251, to prepare EIR in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Surfliner Inn Project. Since that approval, City staff and ESA have been working collaboratively on the EIR and are currently in the stage of preparing the Final EIR. The progress to date is shown on the project website2, including the Notice of Preparation, Scoping Meeting, Draft EIR, and Environmental Review Committee Meeting. 1 Available here (Item 16):

Agenda Item No.: 15
Council Meeting Date: May 11, 2026

ESA Agreement Amendment #1
May 11, 2026

DISCUSSION
City staff and ESA have made substantial progress on the CEQA review for the Surfliner Inn Project and are currently preparing responses to comments on the Draft EIR. As of the date of this report, approximately $242,854.28 has been expended under the Agreement. The original contract amount of $258,890 leaves a remaining balance of $16,035.72, which is insufficient to complete the Final EIR and support the upcoming Planning Commission hearing.

As outlined in ESA’s Request for Cost Modification (Attachment A, Exhibit 1), additional work has been required beyond the original scope due to the complexity of issues raised during the environmental review process. This includes:
• Expanded noise analysis;
• Additional alternatives analysis;
• Increased volume of public comments requiring detailed responses; • Additional technical input related to biological and transportation topics; and • Increased document production and printing.

These tasks are typical of the later stages of the CEQA process, particularly following circulation of the Draft EIR, when agencies must respond comprehensively to public and agency comments to ensure the document is legally adequate.

City staff, ESA, and the project applicant have reviewed the remaining work effort and agree that an additional $74,443 is necessary to complete the Final EIR and support public hearings. The proposed amendment would increase the total contract amount to $333,333. Staff finds the requested increase to be reasonable and necessary to complete a legally adequate EIR consistent with CEQA requirements.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The applicant for the Surfliner Inn Project, 499 Linden Managers, LLC, is responsible for all consultant costs associated with preparation of the EIR. The applicant has reviewed ESA’s request (Attachment A, Exhibit 1) and agrees to fund the proposed budget increase of $74,443. Approval of the amendment would not impact the City’s General Fund.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the First Amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement as to form.

subject Surfliner Inn Project Cost Modification #1
Dear Mindy:

Environmental Science Associates (ESA) appreciates the opportunity to continue providing environmental services to the City of Carpinteria related to the Surfliner Inn Project (Project). Per discussions with the City, this request for a cost modification includes the following:
• ESA support with providing a peer review and brief peer review memorandum of the updated Noise and Vibration Technical Memorandum for the Surfliner Inn Project, prepared by Dudek, updated on November 20, 2025 (Noise Memorandum). The Noise Memorandum was updated to provide additional analyses and modeling for the Project to include rooftop live music (Task 6, Public Review Draft EIR). ESA incorporated the additional information from the Noise Memorandum into Section 3.11, Noise, of the EIR (Task 6, Public Review Draft EIR). • ESA’s previous scope of work included the evaluation of up to three (3) alternatives to the Project. Per previous discussions with the City, Chapter 4, Alternatives, of the EIR, evaluated five (5) alternatives (Task 6, Public Review Draft EIR).
• The original scope of work included four (4) hard copies of the Public Review Draft EIR. Per the City’s request, ESA printed and mailed 13 hard copies, which included additional ESA labor to produce these copies (Task 6, Public Review Draft EIR). • Due to the larger quantity of public review comments received than originally anticipated, ESA is proposing additional support to respond to public comments and prepare the Administrative Final EIR (Task 7, Administrative Final EIR). In addition, ESA will peer review the updated biological study/survey and biological inventory prepared by the Applicant and will update Section 3.3, Biological Resources, with the findings (Task 7, Administrative Final EIR). Further, ESA will peer review the updated traffic safety and parking information provided by the Applicant and will update Section 3.14, Transportation, with the findings (Task 7, Administrative Final EIR).

Surfliner Inn Project Cost Modification #1
2 • Due to the anticipated weekly meetings and additional project management tasks associated with the City and ESA (primarily ESA’s Project Manager and occasional ESA technical staff) through September (assuming the Project is appealed to City Council), ESA is requesting additional funds for meetings and project management (Task 10, Meetings and Task 11, Project Management). • The original scope of work included four (4) hard copies of the Final EIR. Per the City’s request, ESA will print and mail 13 hard copies of the Final EIR. As such, ESA is requesting additional funds for reimbursable expenses (Reimbursable Expenses).

As shown in the table below, ESA is requesting an additional $74,443. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

• CSF will actively manage the skate park, including light cleaning, while conducting youth programs.
• CSF will cooperate with the City to enforce park regulations and will provide a range of youth programming, including before- and after-school classes, evening and weekend classes, and special events.
• CSF will determine the content and structure of its programming and provide the City with 10 percent of the gross fees from City-approved paid programs. • The City will promote CSF’s programming and allow CSF to fundraise for park maintenance and improvements.

The schedule is subject to change by the CITY, which may reschedule or cancel any or all programming at its sole discretion. (b) Non-Exclusive Service.

If the CITY applies any portion of the Damage Deposit to pay for damages arising from a Special Event, the FOUNDATION shall replenish the Damage Deposit within thirty (30) days of CITY'S request. Further, should any damages occur at a FOUNDATION event and the cost to repair such damage is not fully covered by the Damage Deposit, the CITy will invoice the FOUNDATION for the excess cost of the repair and staff or service provider time.

If the FOUNDATION fails to timely replenish the Damage Deposit or pay a repair invoice to the CITY, all FOTINDATION programming and Special Events shall be immediately terminated and suspended until the FOTINDATION makes such payment.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Resolutions calling the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election and requesting the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors to consolidate said election with the Statewide General Election to be held the same day, and adopting regulations for Candidate Statements.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached three resolutions relating to the November 3, 2026 election:

1. Resolution No. 6465, calling for the holding of a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026

2. Resolution No. 6466, requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara to consolidate said election with the Statewide General Election; and

3. Resolution No. 6467, adopting regulations for Candidates Statements.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution Nos. 6465 through 6467, as read by title only.

BACKGROUND
General Municipal Election is held on the day of the Statewide General Election in November of each even-numbered year. The November 3, 2026 election will third district-based election with the election of a representative for City Council District Nos. 1, 3, and 5 for four-year terms ending in December 2030.

In addition, the ballot submitted to voters may include a transaction use tax measure depending on Council action. The Council will decide on whether it will add this measure to the ballot at its meeting on June 8, 2026.

The purpose of this agenda item is for the Council to consider adoption of Resolution Nos. 6465 through 6467, calling the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election, requesting the Board of Supervisors consolidate it with any and all elections occurring on the same date, and adopting regulations for Candidate Statements, respectively. The Agenda Section: Administrative Matters
Agenda Item No.: 17
Council Meeting Date: May 11, 2026

November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election of City Council Candidates May 11, 2026

electing three members of
the City Council representing District Nos. 1, 3 and 5 for the full term of four years ending in December 2030, and, depending on Council action, placing a transaction use tax measure on the ballot.

DISCUSSION
Sections 10400 through 10418 of the California Elections Code provide the procedures on consolidating elections. The procedure requires the City Council to request consolidation at the same time the resolution calling the election is adopted. These resolutions authorize the agency conducting the election (County of Santa Barbara) to conduct the election on behalf of the City and to canvass the results. The City will be responsible for reimbursing the County for the actual election cost upon presentation of a bill. The Elections Code also requires the Council to adopt regulations for candidates pursuing elective office to draft legally sound candidate statements.

Per the Elections Code, the resolution requesting consolidation must be filed at least 88 days prior (August 7, 2026) to the date of the election. However, the County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors will be in summer recess from mid-July through midAugust, and their last meeting before this deadline is July 14, 2026. Hence, the deadline to submit a consolidation request to the Clerk of the Board is June 25, 2026.

POLICY CONSISTENCY

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Third Quarter Code Compliance Report for Fiscal Year 2025/26

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

BACKGROUND
The Code Compliance division enforces local and state laws within the City of Carpinteria (City). 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.

Agenda Item No.: 18
Council Meeting Date: May 11, 2026

Third Quarter Code Compliance Report
May 11, 2026

DISCUSSION
The following discussion and attached presentation (Attachment A) summarize the reported Code Compliance activities for the third quarter (Q3) (January through March) of FY 2025/26.

Code Enforcement:

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 (237) total cases this quarter, an increase of (105) from last quarter’s (132) 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 Q3, the most common service requests and contacts were for Parking (113), Animal Violations (31), and Sign Violations (28). As detailed on slide 4 of Attachment A, the 237 opened cases resulted in 187 recorded violations.
1 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.

Third Quarter Code Compliance Report
May 11, 2026

Community Engagement and Requests:

In Q3, there were 158 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.

Slide 5 of Attachment A lists the number and type of service requests that were reported to the Code Compliance division in Q3 via the GoGov software. Slide 6 provides a breakdown of how service requests are submitted (e.g., online, app, phone).

During the Q3 reporting period, the Code Compliance division recorded 231 distinct operational actions. To better illustrate resource allocation and community impact, these actions have been categorized into three primary service areas: Vehicle and Parking Enforcement (52%), Code Compliance and Zoning (28%), and Animal Control Services (20%).

Code Compliance and Zoning:

This category represents the core casework of the division, moving properties from initial contact to successful compliance.

Action Type Total Volume Percentage of Category
Re-Inspection 23 35.4%
Contact 14 21.5%
Notice of Violation 13 20.0%
Inspection 10 15.4%
Administrative Citation 5 7.7%
Category Total 65 100%

Third Quarter Code Compliance Report
May 11, 2026

"Re-Inspections" make up the bulk of these actions, which is a strong indicator of active case management. Staff are not just issuing Notices of Violation (13), they are consistently returning to properties to ensure the required corrective actions are taking place. Attachment A (Slide 7) compares this quarter’s top three enforcement topics to the second quarter Slide 8 highlights the month-over-month progression of the division's three highest-volume enforcement categories: Parking, Animal Violations, and Zoning - Sign Regulations. The data reveals a consistent upward trajectory across all three operational areas from January through March. While January and February showed a steady, moderate baseline of field activity, March experienced a significant surge. This parallel growth across multiple categories indicates a distinct seasonal shift. As the weather improves and daylight increases toward the end of the quarter, public presence in commercial corridors, parks, and coastal areas rises heavily.

Vehicle and Parking Enforcement:

Parking compliance remains the highest volume of field activity, requiring consistent monitoring and proactive vehicle marking to maintain shared parking resources, neighborhood access, and street sweeping efficiency.

Action Type Total Volume Percentage of Category
Marked Vehicle 81 68.0%
Re-marked Vehicle 18 15.1%
Cited Vehicle 15 12.6%
Vehicle Tow 5 4.2%
Category Total 119 100%
In Q3, 435 parking tickets were issued, representing a potential $27,498 in fines, a modest decrease from 528 tickets issued last quarter. There were 94 service requests 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 9 of Attachment A breaks down the 435 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.

Third Quarter Code Compliance Report
May 11, 2026

Animal Control and Services:

This category highlights the department’s role in public safety, animal welfare, and local wildlife monitoring (including coastal seal watch).

Action Type Total Volume Percentage of Category
Off-Leash Contact 25 53.2%
Animal Impound 12 25.5%
Seal Watch 3 6.4%
Welfare Check 3 6.4%
Quarantine 2 4.3%
Animal Bite Report 1 2.1%
DOA Removal 1 2.1%
Category Total 47 100%
Animal control-related contacts and/or service requests, include off-leash contacts, stray dogs, and disposal of dead animals. This quarter there were12 animal impounds, 25 offleash contacts, 3 Seal Watch-related calls, and 3 welfare checks.

In late 2025, the Citizens' Open Space Management Advisory Board (COSMAB) contacted the Parks, Recreation, & Community Services (PRCS) Department to express concerns regarding off-leash dogs within the Bluffs Nature Preserve (Bluffs) and surrounding areas. PRCS requested that the Code Compliance division attend an upcoming COSMAB meeting to answer questions and propose enforcement solutions for the City’s open space.

On February 12, 2026, Code Compliance staff met with COSMAB and PRCS. During this discussion, the group requested that Code Compliance conduct heightened patrols of the Bluffs to enforce leash laws.

Third Quarter Code Compliance Report
May 11, 2026

In response, the Code Compliance division dedicated 10 hours of randomized patrols at the Bluffs and Viola Fields between March 22 and March 29. As illustrated in Attachment A (Slide 10), this targeted enforcement yielded 15 off-leash contacts, resulting in six license checks and one formal citation for an off-leash violation.

As a reminder, residents who wish to volunteer to foster or walk 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.
2 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.3

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Resolution adopting the City Council Policy establishing a process for the acceptance of donations.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6464 adopting the City C Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6464 approving the Donation Policy. BACKGROUND The City of Carpinteria (City) currently does not have a formal written policy governing the acceptance and administration of donations. Historically, donations have been received and processed on a case-by-case basis, with monetary contributions recorded and periodically presented to the City Council for formal acceptance.

While this approach has allowed the City to benefit from community generosity, the absence of a standardized policy has presented operational and administrative challenges. In some instances, well-intentioned donations have resulted in unintended obligations, including the initiation of projects, increased maintenance responsibilities, or additional staff workload that the City would not have otherwise undertaken.

Additionally, without clear guidelines, there has been limited direction regarding the donated items when necessary.

To address these challenges, staff was directed to develop a comprehensive Donation Policy (Policy) for City Council consideration. The proposed Policy establishes a transparent and consistent framework for the acceptance, evaluation, documentation, and management of donations made to the City.

DISCUSSION
The proposed Policy (Attachment A) is designed to provide a clear, consistent, and goals by encouraging community contributions that enhance programs, services, and facilities, while ensuring that such contributions are carefully evaluated and responsibly managed.

The Policy establishes uniform criteria and procedures to guide decision-making, with an emphasis on transparency, fiscal responsibility, and operational feasibility. It requires that all donations be reviewed to ensure they are consistent with City priorities, do not create undue financial or staffing burdens, and do not introduce legal, ethical, or maintenance concerns. The Policy also emphasizes that donations must not result in donor influence over City decision-making or create conflicts of interest.

Key components of the proposed Policy include:

Types of Donations: Defines allowable donation types, including monetary and in-kind contributions, as well as designated and undesignated donations. goals, priorities, and legal obligations, and serve the public interest.

Acceptance of Donations: Establishes review procedures and acceptance thresholds, including administrative approval for smaller donations and City Council approval for donations exceeding $50,000.

Evaluation Criteria: Requires consideration of financial or operational impact, ongoing maintenance obligations, legal or ethical concerns and alignment with City programs and priorities.

Acknowledgment and Accounting: Provides procedures for documenting, tracking, and publicly acknowledging donations in accordance with financial and reporting standards.

Distribution of Donations: Outlines how both monetary and in-kind donations are allocated and managed across City departments.

The Policy also incorporates financial controls and documentation requirements, including the use of a Donation Acceptance Form, adherence to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and alignment with audit and reporting standards.

City officials and designated employees remain subject to the disclosure requirements of the Political Reform Act and must continue to file Statements of Economic Interests (Form 700) as required by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC).

Overall, the adoption of this Policy will allow the City to accept and manage donations in a manner that is transparent, equitable, and aligned with community interests, while safeguarding City resources and maintaining public trust.

SUPPORT BILLS
AB 736 (Wicks) The Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2026.

This measure would increase access to state homelessness funding for cities with populations under 300,000.
* AB 1866 (Rogers) California Disaster Assistance Act: minimum damages thresholds.

This measure would ensure that the state considers local agencies that do not qualify Agenda Section: Legislative Update
Agenda Item No.: 20
Council Meeting Date: May 11, 2026

for federal disaster aid (FEMA) when allocating assistance after a state-declared emergency.
* AB 1941 (Gonzalez, M.) Organized Metal Theft.

AB 1961 (Ahrens) Civil Actions: Protective Orders: Workplace Violence.

This measure would provide employers with tools to address threats targeting employees. The measure would not require public agencies to implement a new program or higher level of service, but would allow agencies to respond to workplace threats.
* AB 2296 (Papan) Planning and zoning: housing element: regional housing needs allocation.

This measure would provide cities with the ability to begin their housing elements six months earlier than the existing law and provide greater certainty in the review process. * AB 2517 (Calderon) Fire safety: Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps.

This measure would improve the FHSZ designation process conducted by the state to ensure consistent and timely updates for local FHSZ maps to inform wildfire mitigation efforts.

AB 2640 (Hadwick) Commission on State Mandates: state mandates.

This measure will authorize the State Controller to allow a local government to offset any reduced reimbursement from other unpaid reimbursement claims, preventing the state from clawing back funds while still owing debts to that same local government.

OPPOSE BILLS
AB 1564 (Ahrens) Employer-Employee Relations: Confidential Communications.

This measure would restrict a public employer’s ability to conduct internal investigations to the detriment of employees’ and the public’s safety, adding new costs and liability.

AB 1820 (Schiavo) Electric Vehicle Charging Station: Fees.

This measure would establish caps on fees that a city may recover in costs when permitting residential and commercial EVCS projects.

AB 2170 (Boerner) California Environmental Quality Act: notices and hearings:

SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
Call the Senate Appropriations Committee Today!

SUPPORT BILLS
SB 936 (Blakespear) Nitrous Oxide.

This measure would prohibit the sale and distribution of a nitrous oxide container that can hold more than 8 grams of nitrous oxide, any device that allows nitrous oxide to be inhaled for recreational purposes, and the sale of food flavored and scented nitrous oxide.

SB 1167 (Blakespear) E-Bikes: Reclassification.

This measure would reclassify higher speed e-bikes as mopeds and impose retail and manufacturing requirements when advertising e-bikes.

OPPOSE BILL
SB 866 (Blakespear) Housing Element Mandate: Homelessness.

This measure would require all but 14 cities in the state to add extensive and burdensome homelessness reporting requirements to their housing elements. This bill would specifically target cities that do not have direct access to state homelessness funding.

SB 1013 (Cervantes) Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPR).

This measure would prohibit local agencies from sharing information obtained through an ALPR with any federal law enforcement agency and require public agencies to only hold data for 30 days if the infraction is not on a HOT list. Cal Cities is opposed unless amended.

SB 1319 (Durazo) California Public Records Act (CPRA): Public Investment Funds.

This measure would significantly expand the information subject to disclosure under the CPRA related to public pension funds’ investments in alternative investment vehicles. In doing so, this measure would substantially limit investment options for CalPERS, CalSTRS, and county retirement systems and ultimately raise annual contribution costs for all California public agencies and their employees.
