Agenda, regular meeting, second session — Del Mar City Council, June 16, 2025 (part 2 of 2)

Revenue Adjustments
Revenues in the Revised Budget remain unchanged from the Proposed Budget presented to the City Council on May 27, 2025. Total proposed General Fund revenues are $23.4 million in FY 2025-2026 and $24.6 million in FY 2026-2027. Consistent with Finance Committee feedback and Council discussion, revenue projections will be re-evaluated and subsequently revised during the Mid-Year or Budget Update based on the latest reports from the San Diego County Assessor’s Office and actual activity. These county reports were not yet available during the preparation of the Proposed Budget.

Expenditure Adjustments
The Revised Budget expenditures in the General Fund have increased by 0.32% in FY 2025- 2026 and by 0.07% in FY 2026-2027 when compared to the Proposed Budget presented at the City Council Budget Workshop. These nominal increases are summarized by expenditure category in Table A and further discussed below.

The Revised Budget reflects minor increases in Employee Services of 0.41% in FY 2025-2026 and 0.08% in FY 2026-2027 when compared to the Proposed Budget. This change is due to the staffing and operational improvements discussed in the following summaries. Also included is the AB 2561 report pertaining to position vacancies, and recruitment and retention activity.

Staffing and Compensation Updates
Public Works Department
The Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining the City’s essential infrastructure including City facilities and buildings. Due to a recent retirement of a Maintenance and Construction Superintendent, the position was reclassified into Facilities Supervisor in April 2025. After further evaluating the Department’s current workload and existing organizational structure, it is recommended to reclassify the Facilities Supervisor position to a Facilities Manager I/II to provide for a broader scope of job duties and responsibilities, better meet the needs of the department, and to increase operational efficiency. The Facilities Manager Level I position will be placed on Grade P274 ($101,982.51 to $123,960.38) and Level II on Grade P287 ($116,065.60 - $141,078.46) of the Management and Professional Compensation Plan.

The job description for the Facilities Manager I/II position is approved by the City Manager.

Reclassifying this position from a supervisor to a manager will come at an estimated cost of $15,000 to the City.

Administrative Services Department
The Finance division of the Administrative Services Department handles all of the City’s accounting and finance activities. In addition to the two managerial positions of Finance Manager and Finance Officer, the division is comprised of two Accounting Technicians handling utility billing and payroll, and one Administrative Assistant handling accounts payable.

It is recommended to reclassify the division’s Administrative Assistant I/II to an Accounting Technician I/II to align the duties and responsibilities of the position with the work performed and to better meet the needs of the division. The Accounting Technician I/II is an existing position in the City’s general employee’s compensation schedule. There is little to no fiscal impact associated with this recommendation.

Part-time Seasonal Employees
Currently, part-time seasonal employees in the Student Lifeguard, Seasonal Lifeguard I/II and Seasonal Worker I/II classifications receive one and a half times their normal hourly rate for all hours worked on summer holidays (Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day). To incentivize part-time staff to pick up more holiday shifts ensuring better coverage on holidays year-round, it is recommended to pay these classifications one and a half times their normal hourly rate on all designated City holidays. There is no fiscal impact associated with expanding the list of holidays qualifying for holiday pay for seasonal staff, due to the anticipated savings from scheduling less full-time staff for overtime on City holidays and covering these shifts with part-time staff.

Del Mar City Employees Association (DMCEA) Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) The proposed two-year budget that was presented to the City Council during the budget workshop did not include the total costs associated with a new labor agreement between the City and Del Mar City Employees Association (DMCEA), which was and continues to be under negotiation. Once agreement has been reached between the parties, staff will bring the proposed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and related budget adjustments to the Council for consideration.

AB 2561 - City Employee Vacancies, Recruitment and Retention Assembly Bill 2561 amending California Government Code Section 3502.3 (Meyers-MiliasBrown Act (MMBA)) went into effect on January 1, 2025, requiring that at least once per fiscal year prior to the adoption of a budget the City Council receive a report on the City’s vacancy rates; recruitment and retention efforts; review and identify changes to recruitment activities that may lessen or remove obstacles in the hiring process; and permit recognized employee organizations to make a presentation.

The City has 66 authorized budgeted full-time positions, including 9 positions in the fire employee group represented by the Del Mar Firefighters Association (DMFA), 25 positions in the general employee group, the majority of which have opted for representation by the Del Mar City Employees Association (DMCEA), and 32 positions in the unrepresented management-professional employee group.

As required by law, staff conducted an analysis of citywide full-time vacancies that occurred going back to January 1, 2024. In calendar year 2024, the average annual vacancy rates were:

City Council Staff Report
Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 Operating and Capital Budget June 16, 2025

Page 4 of 6 ends

3.7% for fire; 3% for DMCEA; and the average annual vacancy rate for the managementprofessional employee group was 3.9%. In calendar year 2025 to date, there have been no vacancies in the general and fire employee groups, and the vacancy rate in the managementprofessional group is 3.1% with one position currently vacant.

The City employs the following strategies to ensure successful recruitment and staff retention:
using targeted online job websites and social media to attract a wider candidate pool; when appropriate, reviewing salary structures to remain market-competitive; maintaining competitive benefits; developing internal talent with training/development; utilizing City internships; facilitating internal promotions for qualifying staff; and offering longevity pay. As part of the normal course of business and now in compliance with the new requirements of AB 2561, staff conducted a review of the policies and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process and has not identified any necessary changes to current practices.

Changes to Contract Services
The change in Contract Services is associated with a network security need in the Information Systems Program. The minor budget change provides for professional services to improve the City’s security for remote access to better protect sensitive data and applications from unauthorized access. These services and the related cybersecurity solution will help defend the City’s remote access server from malicious threats while providing a secure network to support daily operations. Also included is additional support for specialized human resources advisory services and training.

Table B summarizes the aforementioned expenditures adjustments included in the Revised Budget and the impact on the General Fund Contingency in both FY 2025-2026 and FY 2026- 2027.

Changes to Equipment Replacement
The Proposed Budget included planned expenditures of $108,000 in FY 2025-2026 which have increased slightly in the Revised Budget to $112,240. This 3.9% increase is to account for the updated specifications on the new fire engine, which include a backup camera system and additional LED emergency lighting. There are no changes to planned expenditures in FY 2026- 2027.

Reserves and Cash Flow
The previously described adjustments included in the Revised Budget have resulted in minor changes to the General Fund Contingency (GFC) rates when compared to the Proposed 4 June 16, 2025 Item 11

Budget. As displayed in Table C, these updates have changed the ending General Fund Contingency rate to 21.33% in FY 2025-2026 and to 19.85% in FY 2026-2027. These rates are inclusive of the reserve contributions also summarized in Table C which are consistent with fiscal policy and practices. As expressed by the Finance Committee, and supported by the Council, the City will remain focused on increasing the GFC back to a target goal of 25% as capital needs diminish and opportunities are recognized during preparation of the Mid-Year Report and Budget Update in Spring of 2026.

Table C below provides the changes between the Proposed Budget and Revised Budget to the General Fund Contingency and reserves and projected ending balances for the next two fiscal years. As noted in the table, the General Fund continues in a strong financial position.

The budget is balanced and provides for the continuity of high-level services to the public, and the advancement of critical capital improvement and special projects. Additionally, as of March 31, 2025, the City’s total cash and investment portfolio book value was $39.8 million. Included with the budget adoption is the updated Investment Policy for FY 2025-2026 which will continue to guide the City’s prudent investment strategy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

City Council approval of this item will adopt the City’s Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 Operating and Capital Budget and related resolutions. The new two-year budget is balanced, fiscally sound, and provides for high-level public services and capital and special projects. A summary of the budget is provided earlier in this report, and additional details can be found within Attachment A, Exhibit A and Attachment B.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The proposed City Council action does not constitute a “project” under the definition set forth in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 because it will not have a potential to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and is, therefore, not subject to CEQA. No further action under CEQA is required.

The charge is also intended to support associated updates to the City’s Zoning Code. The charges that are collected are placed in a reserve account dedicated to funding Community Plan and Zoning Code Updates.

• For applications that require payment of a flat fee, the Community Plan/Zoning Code Update Charge shall be 10% of the amount of the flat fee for the application, as listed in this Schedule. • For applications that require submittal of a time and materials deposit, the Community Plan/Zoning Code Update Charge shall be a figure of either: 10% of the required Initial Deposit, as listed in this schedule, or $1,000, whichever is less.
• Where multiple applications are submitted concurrently for a project, only one Community Plan/Zoning Code Update Charge shall be required, based on 10% of the amount of the highest of the fees or deposits required for the submitted applications.

CITY OF DEL MAR

INFORMATION RELATED TO ESTABLISHING THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026
Article XIII-B of the California State Constitution places limits on the amount of revenue that can be spent by all entities of government. It is the responsibility of the City to calculate the annual appropriations limit. The previous fiscal year's limit is increased by a factor calculated by changes in population and inflation. Cities may choose an inflation factor, which is either the change in the California Per Capita Personal Income (CCPI) or the local assessment roll change due to non-residential construction. The population factor option is either the growth rate in the City or the County. The choice of each of these factors is an annual election.

Amounts for the change in non-residential new construction become available at the end of the current fiscal year. When calculating the appropriations limit for the new fiscal year, the previous year’s calculation is reviewed by using the non-residential new construction figures currently available. If the City experienced a large amount of non-residential new construction during the previous fiscal year, the appropriations limit could be significantly affected.

The law provides for voter approval of an override that will allow cities to exceed their appropriation limit. In November 1992, Del Mar voters approved an override measure allowing the appropriations limit to equal the revenues from proceeds of taxes. This measure was effective for four fiscal years and ended in Fiscal Year 1995-1996. Since then, the City has not required a voter-approved override.

For Fiscal Year 2025-2026, the estimated proceeds of tax ($20,663,394) is below the estimated appropriations limit of $38,889,922 by $18,226,528. The City’s appropriations limit is high enough; therefore, there will be no need to return to voters for an override in the foreseeable future.

Cities are required to complete an appropriations calculation for each fiscal year. The City’s auditors are required to review and approve the appropriations calculation as part of their audit of the City.

INFORMATION RELATED TO ESTABLISHING THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026
Analysis:

The following analysis provides the figures for the estimate of the appropriations limit for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

INFLATION OPTION FACTOR

CCPI 1.0644
Change in Non-Residential Construction 1.0000

POPULATION OPTION

Del Mar 1.0005
San Diego County 1.0044
Using the factors for the change in CCPI and the change in population for the County of San Diego, which will give the optimum increase; the percent to be applied to the appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 is 1.0644 x 1.0044 = 1.0365. This factor applied to the appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 of $36,376,885 sets the estimated appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 at $38,889,922. 50 June 16, 2025 Item 11

City of Del Mar– Investment Policy 2

1. Policy
The City of Del Mar shall invest public funds in such a manner as to comply with federal, state and local laws; ensure prudent money management; provide for daily cash flow requirements; and meet the objectives of the Policy, in priority order of Safety, Liquidity and Return on investment. In accordance with the Municipal Code of the City of Del Mar and under authority granted by the City Council, the City Manager is responsible for investing the unexpended cash in the City Treasury.

2. Scope
The investment policy applies to all investment activities and financial assets of the City of Del Mar as accounted for in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). This policy is applicable, but not limited to, all funds listed below:
• General Fund
• Capital Funds
• Other Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Internal Service Funds • Any new fund created by the City Council unless specifically exempted.

3. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by the designated representative shall be the “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. Persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of local agencies investing public funds are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard which states, “When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency”.

The City Manager, Finance Director, Finance Manager, Treasurer or other city staff designated as investment officers assigned to manage the investment portfolio, acting within the intent and scope of the investment policy and other written procedures and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility and liability for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely manner and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

4. Objectives
The City’s primary investment objectives, in order of priority, shall be:
54 June 16, 2025 Item 11
City of Del Mar– Investment Policy 3

1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.

Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating the two types of risk: credit risk and market risk. a. Credit risk, defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the issuer of a security, shall be mitigated by investing in issuers that carry the direct or implied backing of the U.S. Government (including, but not limited to, the U.S.

Treasury, U.S. Government Agencies, and federally insured banks). The portfolio will be diversified so that the failure of any one issuer does not unduly harm the City’s capital base and cash flow.
b. Market risk, (aka “interest rate risk”) defined as market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general level of interest rates shall be mitigated by limiting the maximum maturity of any one security to five years, structuring the portfolio based on historic and current cash flow analysis eliminating the need to sell securities prior to maturity and avoiding the purchase of long-term securities for the sole purpose of short-term speculation. Moreover, it is the City’s full intent, at the time of purchase, to hold all investments until maturity to ensure the return of all invested principal dollars. Limited exceptions will be granted for security swaps that would improve the portfolio’s yield and/or credit quality.

2. Liquidity: The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City of Del Mar to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.

3. Return on Investments: The City’s investment portfolio shall have the objective of attaining a comparative performance measurement or an acceptable rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles.

9. Review of Investment Portfolio
The securities held by the City of Del Mar must be in compliance with Section 8.0 “Authorized and Suitable Investments” at the time of purchase. The Finance Director or Finance Manager should review the portfolio (at least annually) to identify those securities that do not comply.

The Finance Director or Finance Manager should establish procedures to report any major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified through the review of the portfolio.

10. Investment Pools / Money Market Funds
A thorough investigation of the investment pool/money market fund is required prior to investing, and on a continual basis. Best efforts will be made to acquire the following information:

1. A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.

2. A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.

3. A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.

4. A description of who may invest in the program, how often, and what size deposit and withdrawal are allowed.

5. A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings.

6. Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund?

7. A fee schedule, and when and how it is assessed.

8. Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds? 60 June 16, 2025 Item 11
City of Del Mar– Investment Policy 9

11. Collateralization
Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: non-negotiable certificates of deposit and repurchase (and reverse repurchase) agreements. To anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be 110% of market value for non-negotiable certificate of deposit and 102% for reverse repurchase agreements of principal and accrued interest.

Collateral will always be held by an independent third party with whom the entity has a current custodial agreement. A clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied to the entity and retained.

The City may waive the collateralization requirements for any portion of the deposit that is covered by Federal Deposit Insurance.

12. Safekeeping and Custody
All security transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis.

Securities will be held by a third-party custodian designated by the Finance Director or Finance Manager and evidenced by safekeeping receipts.

13. Diversification
The City shall diversify the investments within the portfolio to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over-investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions, or maturities. To promote diversification, no more than 5% of the portfolio may be invested in the securities of any one issuer, regardless of security type, excluding U.S.

Treasuries, federal agencies, and pooled investments such as LAIF, money market funds, or local government investment pools.

14. Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the City of Del Mar will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than 5 years from the date of purchase.

Any investment longer than 5 years must be done with advance permission from City Council.

15. Internal Controls
The Finance Director or Finance Manager is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City of Del Mar are protected from loss, theft, fraud or misuse.

Separation of functions between the Finance Director or Finance Manager, and the Finance Officeris designed to provide an ongoing internal review to prevent the potential for converting assets or concealing transactions.

Investment decisions are made by the City Manager, executed by the third-party administrator and confirmed by the Finance Director or Finance Manager. All wire transfers initiated by the Finance Officer must be reconfirmed by the appropriate financial 61 June 16, 2025 Item 11
City of Del Mar– Investment Policy 10
institution to the Finance Director or Finance Manager. Proper documentation obtained from confirmation and cash disbursement wire transfers is required for each investment transaction. Timely bank reconciliation is conducted to ensure proper handling of all transactions.

The investment portfolio and all related transactions are reviewed and balanced to appropriate general ledger accounts by the Finance Officer on a monthly basis. An independent analysis by an external auditor shall be conducted annually to review and perform procedure testing on the City’s cash and investments that have a material impact on the financial statements. The Finance Director or Finance Manager shall review and assure compliance with investment process and procedures.

16. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.

The City intends to spread its investments relatively evenly between 0 and 5 years and hold those investments to maturity. The City will attempt to limit its authorized investments to the safest end of the investment spectrum—debt issued by the U.S.

Treasury, U.S. Government Agencies, and debt that is federally insured (see section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments, above, for a complete list of authorized investments).

Therefore, an appropriate performance benchmark will be a Constant Treasury Maturity Rate consistent with the weighted average maturity of the portfolio. The City recognizes that benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.

17. Reporting
The Finance Director or Finance Manager shall review and render quarterly reports to the City Council that include the following information:
• Investment type (e.g. U.S. Treasury Note, U.S. Government Agency Bond) • Name of the issuer (e.g. Federal Farm Credit Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank) • Maturity date
• Yield to maturity
• Current market value and source of market value
• Par and dollar amount for each security the City has invested in • Par and dollar amount on any money held by the City (e.g. LAIF balance, Cash Balance).

The report shall also include a description of any of the City’s funds, investments, or programs that are under the management of contracted parties, including lending programs.
62 June 16, 2025 Item 11
City of Del Mar– Investment Policy 11
The quarterly report shall state compliance of the portfolio to the investment policy, or manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance.

The quarterly report shall include a statement denoting the ability of the City to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months or provide an explanation as to why sufficient money shall (or may not) be available.

The quarterly reports shall be placed on the City Council meeting agenda for its review and approval no later than 45 days after the quarter ends. If there are no Council meetings within the 45-day period, the quarterly report shall be presented to the Council at the soonest possible meeting thereafter.

18. Investment Policy Adoption
The City of Del Mar investment policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council.

The policy shall be reviewed annually by the City Council and any modifications made thereto must be approved by the City Council.

The Finance Director or Finance Manager shall establish written investment policy procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this policy. The procedures should include reference to: safekeeping, master repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, banking service contracts and collateral/depository agreements. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City of Del Mar.

Agenda Report
________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Clem Brown, Assistant City Manager
Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: June 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Discussion on Reinitiating the Shores Park Master Planning Process REQUESTED ACTIONS/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Receive an update on the prior master planning process for the Del Mar Shores property; 2) Direct staff to reinitiate the completion of the Shores Master Plan process; and 3) Establish a subcommittee of the City’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee to advise staff and the City Council on the completion of the Master Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The 5.3 acre Del Mar Shores property, located west of Camino del Mar between 9th Street and Stratford Court, was purchased by the City of Del Mar in 2008. Over half of the approximately $5.4 million cost was funded by community donations. The site was formerly owned by the Del Mar Unified School District and later leased to various tenants, including the Winston School since 1988. The City acquired the property with the intention of preserving open space and recreational uses while supporting the continued operation of the Winston School (Winston).

Today, the park portion of the site is used for physical education purposes by Winston, and for informal recreation and a dog park during non-school hours. The on-site Del Mar Community Building currently houses Del Mar Community Connections, who provides senior programs and activities to the community, and the local non-profit Del Mar Foundation.

At the time of acquisition, an adopted City Council resolution identified that the City would complete a master planning process for the property prior to any substantive changes to the property. In fall 2013, the Council directed staff to initiate the process of preparing the Shores Master Plan (Master Plan) and subsequently established the Shores Park Master Plan Advisory Committee (Shores Advisory Committee). The purpose of the Shore Advisory Committee was to provide input to the City Council on the Master Plan process to make its development open, inclusive, and consistent with the needs of the community.

In 2014, the City selected the Schmidt Design Group, Inc. as the consultant to lead the master planning effort for the Del Mar Shores property. Schmidt Design Group identified three main phases to the master planning process:

Shores Park Master Planning Process Discussion
June 16, 2025

Page 2 of 4 ends

• Phase One – “Discover” – Completion of a site inventory and analysis and program/needs assessment
• Phase Two – “Imagine” – Program refinement and site alternatives development • Phase Three – “Create” – Development of a preferred concept into Master Plan recommendation
Phase One of the Master Plan was focused on discovering the site by conducting an inventory to learn what is currently there (e.g., existing buildings, topography, and drainage) and engaging with the community through multiple avenues, including community surveys, workshops, and informal pop-up tent events, to identify major themes for how the public would like to use the park space. Schmidt Design Group completed Phase One in 2015, with a summary report presented to the City Council on July 6, 2015 (Attachment A).

Phase Two of the Master Plan effort involved imagining site alternatives and developing concept designs (“bubble diagrams”) based on information gathered from Phase One.

Schmidt Design Group presented three initial bubble diagrams to the City Council on January 19, 2016. Council affirmed that all three concepts represented input received from the community and to proceed with further development of the three concepts.

Initially, the portion of the Del Mar Shores property leased by Winston was not included in the master planning effort. By 2016, the City and Winston began exploring a more collaborative, shared-use approach to the Master Plan. In 2017, the City Council directed staff to pursue this approach, leading to the development of three additional concept designs. Schmidt Design Group then entered Phase Three of the process to create a preferred concept plan. Based on further input from the community, the Shores Advisory Committee, and the City Council, Schmidt Design Group presented two revised concept plans to the City Council on April 16, 2018.

However, following litigation between the City and Winston related to the redevelopment of the leased portion of the property, the shared-use discussions were halted, and the City returned to designing the park but excluding the area leased by Winston. Before proceeding with further revised concept designs, Schmidt Design Group requested direction from the City on the number of parking spaces to include in the refined design in 2019. Due to pending negotiations with Winston related to the ligation, Council directed staff to delay the parking design work and asked the consultant to identify how to initially accommodate 12-20 parking spaces into the park’s design, with staff to explore future expansion options. Schmidt Design Group was then expected to revise the two concept plans to reflect these parking updates. The revised concepts were to be reviewed by the Shores Advisory Committee, followed by City Council to determine next steps.

Due to a variety of factors, including litigation between the City and Winston and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the master planning effort was deferred. In 2021, the Shores Park Advisory Committee was placed on hold pending the resumption of the park master 2 June 16, 2025 Item 12

planning effort. A full summary of all prior agenda reports and City Council actions related to the master planning process is included as Attachment B.

By September 29, 2023, the City and Winston reached an agreement to dismiss the lawsuit and enter into an amended Lease Agreement. The lease requires the City to provide 18 parking spaces in the southwest lot of the Shores Property for Winston use Monday through Friday during instructional hours and after-hours school events. In addition, Winston must make 18 spaces in its northwest lot available to the public during weekday non-instructional hours, weekends, or when not in use for Winston events. The City must also consult with Winston during the planning for any proposed development of the parking areas or athletic field.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

If directed by the City Council, staff’s approach to complete the Master Plan is to leverage the extensive work that was completed during the six years the project was active (2013 to 2019), which included significant public participation and community engagement. To date, the City has expended $206,740 on the master planning process. The following outlines staff’s recommended next steps for the project:

I. Execute a new contract with the Schmidt Design Group to complete the Master Plan.

Due to their prior work on the project and satisfactory performance, there is sufficient justification to exempt the contract from public biding requirements under Del Mar Municipal Code Section 7.04.090, Exemption from Bidding. Staff would return to the City Council in August to approve the proposed contract, scope of work and fee.

In addition to approving the necessary contract, staff would facilitate a discussion with the City Council regarding the process for completing the draft Master Plan, and potentially establish guiding principles for doing so.

II. Establish a subcommittee of the City’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee to advise staff and the City Council on the completion of the Master Plan.

To advise the project and provide input from the Del Mar community, the City Council has two options. It could direct staff to reinstate the Shores Advisory Committee, or it could establish a subcommittee of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee to work with staff on the project. Staff recommends the latter, as Parks and Recreation is already an active advisory committee to the City Council and its charter has a direct nexus to the project. Further, the Shore Advisory Committee has been on hold since 2021, and it is possible that its prior members are no longer available to serve in that capacity.

III. Complete the draft Master Plan for City Council review and approval.

Staff will work with the Schmidt Design Group and a subcommittee of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee (if approved by the City Council) to complete the draft Master Plan, with a goal by the end of Fiscal Year 2026. Although a significant amount of the conceptual design work and community outreach has been completed, additional modifications will be needed to reflect current conditions, most notably to adhere to the City’s amended lease agreement with Winston. Specifically, this would include updates to 3 June 16, 2025 Item 12

the design to account for the following conditions: 1) Winston’s footprint and square footage will remain the same under the 2023 amended lease agreement, and 2) the amount and location of the parking spaces for the new park and Winston given the new terms in the amended lease agreement.

IV. Return to City Council with a refined concept design.

Staff anticipates returning to the City Council with a draft Master Plan by the end of Fiscal Year 2026. If approved by the City Council, the next steps would be to allocate funding to prepare construction-level design plans and cost estimates and environmental review and permitting.

V. Collaborate with the Del Mar Foundation to raise funds for the project.

The Del Mar Foundation (Foundation) and Friends of Shores Park (Friends) have expressed interest in leading a community fundraising effort to provide supplemental funding for the project. To generate interest from prospective donors, a final concept design with visual renderings of what the park will look like is needed. As such, it is a critical path item that the Master Plan be completed as soon as feasible so that community fundraising can begin. Staff will coordinate and keep the Foundation and Friends updated throughout the completion of the master planning process.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal action or immediate fiscal impact related to this agenda item. Staff estimates it will cost approximately $200,000 for a consultant to complete the Master Plan, which is included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 Operating and Capital Budget. If Council directs staff to restart the master planning process, staff will return in August with a consultant contract for Council consideration following the Council summer meeting recess.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

NEXUS TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This is a Tier 2 item on the City’s Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Work Plan.

The City of Del Mar has taken the first step
in developing a new master plan vision
for the 5.3 acre Shores Park site, located
southwest of the Camino Del Mar and
9th Street intersection. The first phase of
this master plan effort, termed “Discover,”
includes extensive research, data
collection, and community engagement.

This document provides a summary of
the first steps in the Shores Park Master
Plan process and includes a review of
applicable planning policy documents,
an assessment of existing facilities, a
site inventory and analysis, community
outreach, and the development of guiding
principles.

Ultimately, the goal of the research and
community outreach is to establish a
foundation of knowledge which the City
and design team can utilize in future
phases of the master planning effort.

From this effort, program elements
and master plan alternatives will be
developed. Next steps in the master
planning process include continued
community engagement, case study
exploration, a refined park program, and
master plan alternatives. This effort will
culminate with the development of a
preferred Shores Park Master Plan with
supporting recommendations for budget,
implementation, and management.

The following includes an analysis of City planning documents and their relevance to the Shores Park Master Plan effort.

2.1 City of Del Mar Community Plan
The City of Del Mar Community Plan (synonymous with “General Plan”), contains land use policy and is intended to be used to guide community development. The plan also outlines the review process for approvals and permitting. The plan includes policies to achieve the City’s goals and objectives, such as: prudent use of water resources, limit building height to two stories in all residential areas, creation of viewpoints, protect and enhance human scale, etc.

2.2 City of Del Mar Municipal Code
The City’s Municipal Code contains regulations pertaining to land use development standards and permitting requirements. The design of Shores Park will need to comply with all sections of the City code. This includes a requirement that Planning Commission review and make recommendations to the City Council on all proposed allowable uses and development of public parkland.

Public Facility Zone
The park site is zoned as Public Facility Zone (PF). Included in the regulations for PF Zones are building height regulations (max 26 feet), parking requirements, landscape requirements, and the requirement to abide by the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.

In accordance Municipal Code section 30.31.060, Design Review, all development in the PF Zone shall be subject to design review by the Design Review Board. The design, scale, height, bulk, coverage, and exterior appearance of all structures shall be in harmony with neighborhood character and development on nearby lots. Design considerations shall include the preservation of privacy on neighboring residential properties. In reviewing development proposals in the PF Zone, the Design Review Board shall also consider a project’s potential impact on the preservation of views to the ocean from both public and private lands.

Parking
The Parking Ordinance, Chapter 30.80, does not identify specific parking requirements for parks or open space and charges the Planning Commission to make a final determination of required number of parking spaces. Potentially applicable parking ratios include ratios for auditorium, meeting mall, museum, office, K-6/JR School, high school, recreation 2APPLICABLE PLANNING

facility, pool, and/or game courts. The
lower parking lot is currently shared
between the Winston School and the
park. Continued shared parking should
be evaluated in the Park Master Plan.

Protected Trees
In accordance with Municipal Code
section 23.50.010, subsection C, the
species Torrey Pine, and the species
Monterey Cypress are of particular
significance to the City, and should
therefore be protected to conserve the
environmental qualities of the City.

2.3 City of Del Mar Landscape Development
Guidelines
The Landscape Development Guidelines
include specific landscape design
principles and elements that should
be incorporated into the Shores Park
Master Plan design. The Landscape
Design Guidelines are based on the
following six (6) objectives:
• Preserve natural features, including
existing native plant materials.
• Preserve and enhance existing views.
• Protect the safety of the residents of
Del Mar.
• Conserve precious resources,
notably water.
• Vitalize the downtown commercial
area.
• Clarify processes and requirements
for landscape development within the
City.

2.4 Camino Del Mar Streetscape Plan
Published in 1996, this study examines
a three mile length of Camino Del Mar
from Via de la Valle to its termination
near Carmel Valley Road. The study
identifies opportunities to preserve and
enhance the qualities that the people of
Del Mar hold dear. The opportunities
include elements such as preserving

Torrey Pine trees, creating scenic view
corridors, and incorporating pedestrian
improvements. The study also includes
an overall shrub and groundcover plant
list and provides recommendations for
street tree locations along the portion
of Camino Del Mar adjacent to the park
site.

2.5 Del Mar Foundation Use Agreement
Located at 225 9th Street in Del Mar is a
City-owned office facility, known as the
Del Mar Community Building, which is
approximately 1,831 square foot in size.

The City has entered into a two-year
long use agreement with the Del Mar
Foundation (commencing in September
2014). The Del Mar Foundation is
responsible for coordinating the use of
the facility by the Del Mar Community
Connections (DMCC) and other nonprofits organizations that provide valuable public service functions to the
residents of Del Mar.

2.6 Winston School Lease Agreement
and Winston School Memorandum of
Understanding
The 1.8 acre school site is a Cityowned property with a 55 year lease to the Winston School (commencing
in 2008). Required as part of the lease
agreement, Winston School must
achieve all “Redevelopment Milestones”
by the respective “Milestone Deadline”
as defined in the lease document. The
final “Milestone Deadline” is December
31st 2027 indicating the completion of
the redevelopment process. The City is
required to provide an open turf space
for the school’s recreation needs as a
part of the lease agreement.

The purpose of this section is to document existing parks, recreation facilities, and programs in Del Mar that affect recreation programming and planning for the community. An inventory of existing parks, recreation facilities, and programs was achieved through site visits, City staff interviews, document searches, and interviews with service providers.

3.1 Parks and Community Centers
The City of Del Mar has three primary parks (Shores Park, Powerhouse Park, Seagrove Park) and one community center (Powerhouse Community Center) that are available for public use.
i. Shores Park (5.3 Acres)
Shores Park is comprised of a parking lot, landscaped area, asphalt activity area, and the Del Mar Community Building. A portion of the site (1.8 acres) is leased to The Winston School. As part of the lease agreement, The Winston School is granted non-exclusive access to the landscaped turf area during school hours. The landscaped area serves as a shared use area providing space as a dog park, youth baseball field, and multi-purpose field, each with their specific times of use. The City issues permits for youth sports practices periodically. The Del Mar Community Building has a two-year lease between the Del Mar Foundation and the City of Del Mar. The building includes a conference room, computer lab, and kitchen, and is available to the public with advance reservations.

The Community Building provides office space for the Del Mar Foundation and Del Mar Community Connections with which the Del Mar Foundation has an agreement.

Powerhouse Park
Powerhouse Park is adjacent to the Powerhouse Community Center. It is a large grassy area overlooking the beach with a children’s tot lot, public restroom, and two concrete walkways which lead to the beach. The park is well maintained through the City’s Public Works Department. The park is open to the public and may also be reserved through the City’s Community Services Department.
iv. Seagrove Park
Seagrove Park is south of Powerhouse Park and is a large grassy area overlooking the beach, without beach access. The park is well maintained through the City’s Public Works Department. The park is open
to the public and may be reserved
through the City’s Community Services
Department.

3.2 Existing Recreation Programs and
Services
The City of Del Mar provides
recreation programs and services
to the community through private
rentals, scheduling of non-profit
agency activities, and co-sponsoring

3.3 Public/Private Partnerships
The City of Del Mar has a formal lease agreement with The Winston School that utilizes a portion of Shores Park (primarily the school buildings). The City also has an Interim Use Agreement for two years with the Del Mar Foundation for the Foundation’s use of the Del Mar Community Building located at Shores Park. In turn, the Del Mar Foundation has an agreement with Del Mar Community Connections for their utilization and scheduling of programs for the Del Mar Community Building.

3.4 Maintenance and Operations for Parks and Recreation Facilities The Powerhouse Community Center and park facilities in Del Mar are well-used and busy centers of activity throughout the week, especially on the weekends. The parks and Community Center are well maintained and exceed most community standards. They are operated and maintained in an efficient manner.

The City Public Works Department utilizes contracted landscape maintenance services combined with supplemental part-time employees for the parks, grounds, and beaches.

They have a City staff member that supervises these operations. This is an efficient and cost effective way of providing maintenance services, particularly limiting the need and related costs for City staffing. The Community Services Department similarly utilizes part-time staff for custodial services and also for supervision along with full-time staff during times that the Community Center is scheduled. They have a City staff member that coordinates these operations and also schedules the Community Center and the parks. This also is an efficient and cost effective approach to providing maintenance and operations for the Community Center, although recruitment and retention of part time staff is sometimes difficult.

The City of Del Mar adequately maintains and operates the existing parks and the Community Center. The additional resources and costs associated with the proposed improvements to Shores Park will be evaluated and reported during future phases of the master-planning effort.

4.1 Site History
• The Shores property was first the site of the original Del Mar train station from the late 1800s through the early 1900s.
• The property was then acquired in 1906 by the South Coast Land Company led by partners Col. Ed Fletcher, William G. Kerckhoff, and others. • Kerckhoff’s company eventually took title and, in 1946, conveyed it to the struggling Del Mar Unified School District (DMUSD) with the deed restriction that the property be used for “school purposes only.” This restriction included a prohibition against commercial or residential development.
• In 1988, a portion of the property was leased to the private Winston School. • In 2005, a group of concerned community leaders formed The Friends of Del Mar Parks (a certified 501(c)(3) tax exempt, non-profit California corporation) and joined together with Winston School families to help raise funds to contribute toward purchasing the land.
• In 2007, the park was purchased by the City of Del Mar for $8.5 million with a combination of private fundraising proceeds and public City funding.

4.2 Site Analysis
Shores Park is located southwest of the Camino Del Mar and 9th Street intersection in the City of Del Mar. Parking options include on-site parking areas and off-site street parking.

Alternative transportation includes North County Transit District bus line 101 with stops in the north and south direction at 9th and Camino Del Mar. Additionally, designated bike lanes exist in the north and south directions along Camino Del Mar.

The Shores Park property has a terraced landscape along a dramatic hillside with views to the Pacific Ocean. Change in elevation between terraces is approximately 15 feet with an overall grade differential of approximately 30 feet. Many notable views to the Pacific Ocean were inventoried.

Existing park amenities include a turf field and backstop, multi-use court area, landscaped areas, parking lots, and a Community Building. The landscaped areas include several mature trees, including a large Torrey Pine near the Community Building. Based on initial on-site observation, stormwater is directed off-site via daylighted cobble-mortar storm culverts. Along 9th Street, adjacent to the northern boundary of the site, an existing deep swale carries stormwater off-site. Drainage also enters the park on the second terrace and flows down the existing on-site drainage/driveway. An opportunity for water quality improvements was observed.

A portion of the park land (1.8 acres), is leased to The Winston School. Non-exclusive use of the parking area and athletic field during school hours is part of the lease agreement.

4.3 Architectural Assessment of Del Mar Community Building The overall general condition of the existing building at 225 9th Street was evaluated by OBR Architecture on January 29, 2015. A full copy of the report is included in the Appendix.

The building is laid out in an ‘L’ configuration and is a single story. No destructive testing was performed, but the main framing system is assumed to be wood. Overall the building appears to be in good condition. The recent refurbishment concentrated on finishes and the renovation to create an accessible restroom. The stucco is free from significant cracking and there is no evidence of any substantial seismic issues. The building currently acts as the Del Mar Community Building and houses the Del Mar Foundation and the Del Mar Community Connections. The building also provides community meeting space and storage space.

It has been noted through various interest group interviews and conversations with the community that the overall layout and size of the facility limits the programs and services that are offered by the Del Mar Community Connections organization.

The “Discover” phase of the Shores Park Master Plan process was structured to maximize opportunities to obtain community feedback as indicated by the Shores Advisory Committee appointed by the City Council. This included a formal community survey, interest group interviews, community pop-up events, and a “take-part” community workshop. The following is a summary of the Shores Advisory Committee role and each community outreach event.

5.1 Shores Advisory Committee
The Shores Advisory Committee (SAC) was formed to oversee the Shores Park Master Plan process. The SAC’s mission is to ensure that the process is open and inclusive. They have worked with the community, City staff, and design team to develop the Master Plan process and will continue to guide the process and provide progress updates and recommendations to City Council.

5.2 Community Survey
A community-wide survey was conducted
by True North Consulting during the months
of March and April 2015. Participants were
asked a series of questions related to City
of Del Mar park facilities, Shores Park, and
their recreation preferences.
i. Community Survey Goals
The goals for the survey were as follows:
• Gather information to help inform the
Shores Park Master Plan;
• Profile recreation interests and
activities of Del Mar residents (adult
and youth);
• Measure use and perceptions of
Del Mar parks in general, as well as
Shores Park in particular;
• Identify the types of amenities and
improvements to Shores Park that are
priorities for Del Mar residents; and
• Understand how the above may vary
across subgroups.

A full copy of the community survey
report is included in the appendix.

ii. Community Survey Key Takeaways
The community survey is only one tool for gauging community interests with respect to the Shores Park Master Plan process but there are consistent themes between survey results and qualitative feedback (Community Workshop, Pop-Up Events, etc.).

Per the survey, residents are generally pleased with the safety, appearance, and overall quality of Del Mar’s parks, but see opportunities to improve the variety of amenities offered.

Based on survey respondents, just one in five households have a child or teenager, but there appears to be interest in providing a variety of activities for a broad age spectrum.

Key amenities that were identified include:

Passive Recreation
• Significant interest in passive recreation amenities including walking paths, benches and sitting areas, picnic and BBQs, quiet spaces for reading, watching sunsets, meditating, etc.
• Interest in green spaces, landscaping, trees, plants, gardens, and beautification.

Open Play and Fitness Areas
• Open areas for play and informal recreation sports, but not highly programmed sportsfield focused or organized athletics. • Children’s playground equipment.
• Outdoor fitness course and courts.

Indoor Facilities
• Special purpose rooms for fitness classes, yoga, dance. • General purpose room for meetings and classes.

Off-Leash Dog Component
• Interest is creating a separated area for off-leash dog activities. Refer to the “Desired Shores Park Improvements” graph found in the survey report.

5.3 Interest Group Interviews
i. Summary
The City of Del Mar scheduled interviews with interested parties between January 2015 and May 2015.

Below is a time line of interest group interviews to date:
• Jan 12, 2015 Farmers Market
• Jan 12, 2015 Garden Club Interest Group
• Jan 14, 2015 Del Mar Community Connections (DMCC)

• May 6, 2015 Youth Sports Organizations (conference call) • May 12, 2015 Alvarado House Tour
• May 13, 2015 Clean Water Program Manager (conference call) ii. Reoccurring Themes
From the 20 different interest group interviews, there were significant areas of overlap and reoccurring themes. They are as follows:
• Preserve Open Park Feel: Many people wanted to avoid over-programming or overbuilding the park.
• Dog Park: There were several viewpoints on the success of the current joint-use dog park. Overall, there is a desire to continue to include a grassy area for off-leash dog activity in the park that is not rigid or obviously fenced. There are a significant number of community members that advocate continued joint-use between off-leash dog activities and other park uses. However, of the groups that were interviewed, there were more community members interested in separating the off-leash dog activities from other park uses, while still having both areas. • Multi-Use Open Field: Provide open, flexible turf space, but not necessarily a structured athletic field.
• Gardens: Passive, walking, horticulturally rich gardens; benches to enjoy views; picnic tables.
• Basketball: Currently well used, potentially half court. • Storage and Activity Space: Several groups were interested in more indoor and outdoor programs (DMCC storage and office space, tai chi and other exercise, cultural events, personal enrichment classes such as cooking classes, etc.) DRAFT

10 5.4 Informal Pop-Up Tent Events
The City of Del Mar staff conducted
two (2) “pop-up” community outreach
events. These pop-up events were
intended to capitalize on the community
participation at the Del Mar Egghunt
Event (April 4th, 2015), and the Farmers
Market (April 18th, 2015), to publicize the
Shores Park Master Plan project and to
promote the May 2nd “Plan Your Park”
Community Workshop.

Feedback was tallied from notations
made by community members in
response to open-ended questions
regarding favorite parks, possible
amenities for Shores Park, and
preferred recreational activities. There
were no formal inquiries made regarding
residency. However, anecdotally, the
majority of feedback was from Del
Mar residents. The following graphics
summarize the feedback received.

NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE PARK
• The park should not be over
developed; it should be designed
for the neighborhood rather than
as a regional destination. It should
serve as a meeting venue for the
local residents. The concept of a
neighborhood scale park is also
supported by other responses
that were highly ranked such as
providing an open/grassy space,
shade, maintaining views, and
providing an attractive landscape.

HIGH QUALITY DESIGN FOR ALL USERS,

INCLUDING PETS
• The park should address the needs of
the entire community. The final program
should include a high quality user
experience for people and pets.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN/ORGANIC

MAINTENANCE
• The park should incorporate an
environmentally responsible design
(low energy, water efficient, and organic
maintenance).

The main themes and guiding principles can be summarized in the following categories:

The City of Del Mar purchased the 5.3 acre Del Mar Shores property in 2008 with the intention of preserving open space and enhancing recreational uses in the City, as well as the continued operation of the Winston School. Currently, the Shores Park property offers a small Community Building which is leased and operated by Del Mar Foundation (and also houses the Del Mar Community Connections), and an open grassy field that is used for informal recreation and as an intermittent dog park.

In 2014, the City of Del Mar embarked upon a master planning process for Shores Park to create a long-range vision to guide the park’s future development. Based on a multi-faceted assessment of current and future needs, the master plan will identify the types of amenities and facilities that will be included in the park, the types of programs and activities it will support, as well as a plan for implementation.

A critical component of the master plan process is building a meaningful and lasting relationship with the community through ongoing community engagement. The community has been particularly engaged throughout the process which included a city-wide survey, interest group interviews, informal pop-up events, and a community workshop. The findings are summarized below into guiding principles and a preliminary list of possible amenities that will inform the next steps of the master plan process.

Shores Park - DISCOVER
Schmidt Design Group, Inc. June 2015 28

6.1 Guiding Principles
The depth and breadth of feedback
received during the “DISCOVER” phase
of the Shores Park master plan process
has been utilized to develop the following
Guiding Principles. Future design
alternatives will be evaluated in part by
how well they accomplish these goals.
• Provide a beautiful and peaceful
neighborhood park environment
that serves the residents of Del Mar.
• Create an inclusive space that
offers recreational opportunities for
all ages.
• Thoughtfully integrate the needs
and desires of residents visiting the
park with or without pets.
• Capture the dramatic views to the
Pacific Ocean.
• Provide a gardenesque park
setting that is environmentally and
economically sustainable. Community Workshop #1, “Plan Your Park” Event Image by City of Del Mar
• Integrate the activities, program, circulation, and recreational needs of the Winston School.
• Create a park that reflects the rich history, unique culture, and community character of Del Mar.

6.2 Potential Amenities
One goal of the “Discover” phase was to start to identify the types of amenities that Del Mar residents view as priorities for inclusion in Shores Park in the future. Potential amenities were collected at all stages of the community outreach process and will continue to be collected and refined throughout the master plan process. Not all amenities will be accommodated within the Shores Park site based on site constraints and community preferences; therefore, the potential amenities are grouped into three tiers DRAFT
32 June 16, 2025 Item 12
Shores Park - DISCOVER
Schmidt Design Group, Inc. June 2015 29
based on community feedback, prioritized from Tier 1 (highest priority) to Tier 3. Within each tier, the amenities are presented in alphabetical order. i. Tier I Potential Amenities
Based on recurring themes from all community outreach efforts, the community expressed a strong collective interest in the amenities identified below. Based on overwhelming consistent interest, these core elements should be incorporated in future design alternatives (not in priority order):
• Attractive gardens and landscaping (low water use/sustainable) • Benches for sitting, enjoying views, reading, meditating, etc. • Fully accessible for visitors with disabilities
• Furnishings such as trash and recycling receptacles, drinking fountains, bike racks, etc. • Off-leash grassy areas for off-leash dog activities (not obvious or rigid fences) • Open turf for flexible play (required by lease with Winston School) • Indoor meeting/recreational community space
• Accommodate children’s activities
• Parking to meet code requirements
• Picnic area(s)
• Restroom
• Shade
• Walking paths
ii. Tier II Potential Amenities
In addition to the core list of Tier 1 amenities, there was also significant interest in other possible amenities that should be further evaluated for inclusion based upon community interest and space availability:
• Basketball half court
• Children’s playground
• General purpose room that can be used for community programming and activities (such as exercise classes, cooking classes, meetings, arts and culture, etc.) • Multi-purpose court (basketball/pickle ball/tennis etc.) • Outdoor fitness course
iii. Tier III Potential Amenities
In addition to the Tier 1 and Tier 2 amenities, there was also interest in other possible amenities that should be further evaluated for inclusion based upon community interest and space availability. This list of Tier 3 amenities is not comprehensive as it will continue to be refined throughout the process as new ideas are added by the community:
• Amphitheater
• Auditorium (joint-use with Winston School)
• Community garden
• Interpretive education (such as plant identification tags, educational signage, etc.) • Youth sports field (youth baseball/softball). This would primarily include a practice area that is not heavily programmed.
• Bocce ball

Shores Park Master Plan –
Discussion of Parking
Discussion focused on the number of parking spaces for Shores Park; concept of putting the parking discussion on hold until the Winston School lease negotiations are concluded; uses that drive the need for parking spaces; need to look at concept of underground parking; keeping the discussion at the theoretic level right now; and possible accessibility of hotel parking spaces for use by park goers. The consensus of the Council was to hold off on initiating the parking design work that would be affected by the outcome of the Winston School negotiations; and directed staff and the consultant to start with identifying how to initially produce 12-20 spaces and how more spaces could be
accommodated down the road if needed.

Date: June 5, 2025
NCTD Retreat held on APRIL 17, 2025 MEETING SUMMARY

1) NCTD Services Overview: The North County Transit District (NCTD) Board of Directors (Board) received an overview of the transit services NCTD provides.

NCTD currently operates the COASTER commuter rail, SPRINTER hybrid rail, BREEZE bus, FLEX demand-response, LIFT paratransit, and NCTD+ microtransit services. Each of these modes connect to make a holistic system that serves a multitude of different transportation needs. NCTD currently operates the NCTD+ microtransit service within a defined zone in San Marcos. Beginning May 19, 2025, NCTD will also operate this service in Vista. NCTD, in partnership with the San Diego Association of Governments, is advancing two fully funded capital projects to expand COASTER service and add new stations along the line at the Convention Center in downtown San Diego and the Del Mar Fairgrounds. These projects will provide a more convenient alternative to driving to major special events in the region, like Comic-Con, Padres games, the San Diego County Fair, Del Mar races, and others. NCTD is in the process of evaluating its services to accommodate changing rider demographics. This analysis will include potential redesign of the bus network, opportunities to expand the span of service on SPRINTER, and changes in schedules
2) Intergovernmental Affairs Update: The Board received an update on NCTD’s intergovernmental affairs efforts at the federal, state, and local levels. NCTD is working with partners at all levels of government to advocate for the District’s priorities in policy and funding legislation. Congress is beginning the process to reauthorize surface transportation legislation, which sets federal policy and levels of funding for highway, transit, and rail programs. The California Legislature is also beginning the process to reauthorize the Cap-and-Trade program, which provides funding for several transit grant programs. Additionally, NCTD is considering potential changes to its enabling legislation to provide greater flexibility in procurement, construction, and revenue-generating practices, which will need to be approved by the California Legislature.
3) Five-Year Financial Outlook: The Board received an update on NCTD’s five-year financial outlook ahead of the operating budget discussions slated for the May Board meeting. Staff provided information on different funding sources and restrictions on how NCTD can use federal and state funding. Federal funding distributed to NCTD must be used for capital and preventative maintenance expenses and requires a 20% non-federal match. NCTD must utilize operations funding to provide this non-federal match, limiting the amount of available funding for operations. NCTD is continuously identifying opportunities for efficiencies.

However, if additional funding sources are not identified, which could include a 1 June 16, 2025 Item XIIE and Item XIIIBP

sales tax measure, NCTD may be required to review its service network to manage costs.

NCTD May 15, 2025 BOARD MEETING SUMMARY
Proposed FY2026 Operating Budget and FY2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program Update: The North County Transit District (NCTD) Board of Directors (Board) received an update on the development of the FY2026 Operating Budget and FY2026-FY2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for review and input. The FY2026 budget and revised CIP invests resources to further the Board’s priorities, including improvements to customer communications, safety and security, and the continuation of the Youth Opportunity Pass (YOP) program. Expenses have shifted from purchased transportation to salaries, wages, and benefits due to NCTD assuming direct management of bus operations and maintenance. The Board asked staff if state and federal funding uncertainties will impact NCTD’s budget process. Staff responded that the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provide estimates for more than 80% of NCTD’s revenue. SANDAG recently lowered its sales tax revenue estimates, projecting FY2026 revenue to grow by only 0.3%. NCTD expects FTA funds and additional state dollars to remain flat in FY2026. Furthermore, NCTD takes a conservative approach when estimating any additional revenues in the development of its budget. NCTD announced that it has renegotiated its U-Pass program with the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), which will bring additional revenue to the District. The new U-Pass agreement will allow UCSD students to use NCTD’s public transit modes free of charge – excluding NCTD+. The Board expressed its support for NCTD’s continued partnerships with universities and other educational institutions within its service area to support local transportation needs and increase ridership. Staff will present the final proposed operating budget with a more detailed breakdown of revenues and expenditures to the Board for consideration of adoption at its June 26, 2025 meeting.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

METRO Commission/Wastewater JPA Dwight Worden Primary
The June 5, 2025 Metro JPA Board meeting was short with mainly good news:
 The Board approved the budget, balanced with ample reserves.  Heard an update on the Second Amended and Restated Agreement (SARA) which is the governing document concerning Metro’s relations with the City of San Diego. The draft is undergoing comments and revisions from Metro member agencies and their attorneys and is proceeding well. Del Mar’s comments are already in. Metro is hoping to have a final draft soon that it can recommend and then route to the Metro member agencies for approval.

I’ll keep the City Council and staff informed as the issue progresses.
