City of Colfax Entertainment Zone Ordinance Amendment
Staff Report May 13, 2026
Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE May 13, 2026, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Kathy Pease, AICP, Planning Consultant
Subject: Add Chapter 12.28 to the Colfax Municipal Code Establishing an Entertainment Zone in the Downtown Historic District (To be published in its entirety within 15 days of adoption)
Budget Impact Overview:

N/A: Funded: Un-funded: √ Amount: Fund(s):

Summary/Background
Effective January 1, 2025, California Senate Bill No. 969 (SB 969) authorizes cities to establish “entertainment zones” where patrons can consume alcohol, purchased from local bars and restaurants, on public streets, sidewalks and rights-of-ways. A local ordinance must be adopted to designate these areas. The attached proposed ordinance would add a new chapter to the Colfax Municipal Code to allow this use.

Downtown Historic District Map
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Introduce the proposed ordinance by title only; 2) conduct a public hearing on an Ordinance to establish an Entertainment Zone in the Downtown Historic District; 3) waive the first reading; and 4) schedule the proposed ordinance for a second reading and adoption at the next regular City Council meeting currently scheduled for May 27, 2026, to be effective 30 days after adoption.

Item 5A22
City of Colfax Entertainment Zone Ordinance Amendment
Staff Report May 13, 2026
Discussion
This amendment would add a new chapter 12.28 to title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places) of the Colfax Municipal Code to establish an Entertainment Zone within the Downtown Historic District and would include public sidewalks, plazas and parks within this area.

The zone would operate Friday and Saturday and Holidays, from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The intent is to promote increased economic vitality in communities throughout the state.

Permitted beverages within the zones are limited to beer (12 ounces or less), wine (5-ounces or less) and mixed drinks (12 ounces or less containing no more than one and one-half ounce of distilled spirits).

All beverages must be served in City-approved non-glass, non-metal containers, such as branded plastic cups. Persons in possession of alcoholic beverages must be 21 or older and identifiable by a Cityapproved wristband, stamp or similar method.

Participation is voluntary and all participating establishments must comply with state Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) licensing requirements.

Fiscal
This action has a small impact on the City’s General Fund as a result of this amendment. Staff time to prepare the draft ordinance would be paid for through the General Fund. There is no identified fee for establishing the Entertainment Zone. If the City Council would like to amend the fee schedule to institute a fee, it could direct staff to come back for an amendment.

Environmental Review
The City of Colfax finds that adoption of this ordinance would be exempt from CEQA (CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3) and Section 15305 Minor Alterations to Land Use)).

City of Colfax 3rd of July Funding Request
Staff Report May 13, 2026
Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE MAY 13, 2026 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Ron Walker, City Manager
Subject: 3rd of July Funding Request
Budget Impact Overview:

N/A: Funded: Un-funded: Amount: $5,000.00 Fund(s): 8263 Summary/Background
The annual 3rd of July event has been traditionally put on by a non-profit, and the city has in the past donated money to help pay for fireworks and general event costs.

Caroline Glenn Presson, of the 3rd of July Organization is requesting funding for the annual 3rd of July event in the amount of $5,000.00 to help pay for Fireworks. The 3rd of July Organization is contracting Pyro Guys from Reno Nv, the same organization that has done the Fireworks for 3rd of July 2024 & 2025 and Winterfest 2025.

After the awesome display at Winterfest 2025, the communities call was for a similarly spectacular display for 2026, especially as we are celebrating the USA’s 250th birthday.

The total cost for a similar display this July is $16,000, and the 3rd of July Organization is requesting $5,000 in support from the City to help make this Fireworks display possible. Since January, the 3rd of July Organization has partnered with local businesses from Colfax to Auburn to host two plus fundraising events each month and they brought back the tradition of “I bought the works” Buttons for sale. Sadly, the weather this year has negatively impacted the possibility of holding their historically successful car washes and lessened the participation in the restaurant fundraisers as well.

Conclusions and Findings
Staff is requesting the council discuss the 3rd of July Organization request for donation and provide direction.

Attachments:

1. Resolution __-2026

N/A: √ Funded: Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):

Summary/Background
The City of Colfax prepares an operating and capital improvement budget every fiscal year. The upcoming budget cycle is for fiscal year 2026-27. On March 11, 2026, reviewed and approved the attached budget calendar. The calendar included a City Council budget workshop for April 29, 2026.

Discussion
It was proposed by the Administrative Services Officer, as the April 29th date was approaching that staff needed additional time to review the budget further in an effort to refine the departmental budgets. This would also allow further evaluation of the capital improvement projects to include in the fiscal year 2026-27 capital improvement plan. Staff requested that the workshop be postponed to a date to be determined. Staff are proposing that the City Council budget workshop date be set for May 20, 2026, at 6:00pm. The updated calendar has been updated and provided below. The highlighted items in red are the updated dates. The original calendar has also been provided.
