________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Nicole Morrow, AICP, Associate Planner
Isam Hasenin, Contract Building Official
Karen Brindley, Planning & Community Development Director Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: February 3, 2026
SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance to Process Administrative Corrections to Del Mar Municipal Code Chapter 23.12, Division 7 to Reflect Adoption of the 2025 California Green Building Code with Local Amendments
REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt an Ordinance (Attachment A) to process administrative corrections requested by the California Building Standards Commission that involve amending Del Mar Municipal Code (DMMC) Chapter 23.12, Division 7 to reflect the City Councilís local adoption of the 2025 California Green Building Code in September 2025, and the Cityís intent to carry forward local amendments previously adopted by the City Council in 2018 that require new non-residential construction to comply with the CalGreen Code Appendix A5.

BACKGROUND
The City of Del Mar, through its Building Services Division, reviews development projects to ensure new construction protects public health and safety. As a basis for review, the City relies on the regulations contained in the California Building Standards Code. On July 1, 2025, the State published the new 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code. The State regularly updates its Building Standards Code to incorporate updated safety standards. The updated codes were prepared with amendments based on updates from the International Code Council, International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, and the National Fire Protection Association, intended to further improve public health and safety standards.

On September 22, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1022 to reflect local adoption of the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code, including applicable chapters of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, as well as 11 local amendments to the Building Code. The Cityís intent was that the September 2025 Council 1 February 3, 2026 Item 4
City Council Agenda Report
Administrative Correction to the 2025 Building Code
February 3, 2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

action included and carried forward an existing local amendment from 2018 (Ordinance No. 937) requiring new non-residential development to comply with CalGreen Code Appendix A5, which is a measure that supports the Cityís Climate Action Plan.

However, on December 2, 2025, the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC), following its review of Ordinance No. 1022 in accordance with State procedures, partially accepted the Ordinance for filing and requested administrative corrections to Del Mar Municipal Code Chapter 23.12, Division 7 to clarify the Cityís intent to continue applying the CalGreen-related local amendment. Specifically, the CBSC requested the City readopt Section 23.12.070, including the required findings, to complete the filing of the Cityís 2025 Building Code update.

The proposed Ordinance was introduced by the City Council on January 20, 2026, at a duly noticed public hearing.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The proposed Ordinance includes the necessary findings required by California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.7(a), 17958.7(b), and 18941.5(b) for ordinances associated with adoption of the 2025 Green Building Code and local amendment to be considered timely filed.

As amended, DMMC Section 23.12.070 would continue to reflect the Cityís adoption of the 2025 California Green Building Code (CalGreen Code). To facilitate processing of future State code updates, a new DMMC Section 23.12.071 is proposed to clearly state the CalGreen Code Appendix A5 language for the local amendment in its own section, which is the standard format for local amendments. As shown in Attachment C, the substance of the language in Section 23.12.071 remains consistent with what was adopted in Ordinance No. 1022; only formatting and minor grammatical edits are proposed.

Following City Council adoption, the Ordinance will be filed with the CBSC to complete the State filing process in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7(a).

A related consideration is that the 2025 California Building Standards Code took effect statewide on January 1, 2026, and Assembly Bill 130 (2025) imposed an October 1, 2025, moratorium prohibiting amendments to a local jurisdictionís building standards through June 1, 2031. Under AB 130, a jurisdiction may amend its Building Standards under specified conditions and with CBSC approval. In this case, the City is eligible to adopt the proposed Ordinance pursuant to the exception in Health and Safety Code Section 17958(b)(1), which allows adoption of regulations that are substantially similar to those in effect as of September 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact or action to be taken by the City Council related to this agenda item. The review of a developmentís conformance with the applicable building codes is processed through a separate review of development applications and building permits.

As part of that process, the City applies fee charges to recover a portion of the administrative costs incurred to provide such reviews. No changes are proposed for the existing Cityís fee schedule for issuance of Building Division related permits.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

This project is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3). It can be seen with certainty that the adoption of the State-mandated Building Codes with minor amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment.

HOUSING IMPACT:

Local adoption of the updated State-mandated building-related regulations will facilitate development of housing that complies with the minimum public health and safety standards as well as additional standards to reflect Del Marís unique characteristics and approach to design and development review.

NEXUS TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

Updating the DMMC to adopt the California Building Codes by reference and incorporate local modifications is a Tier 1 priority for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

WHEREAS, the California Building Standards Commission directed the City to amend Ordinance No. 1022 to process the administrative correction and refile the amended ordinance; and

California Building Standards Commission and contained in the California Building Standards; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code section 17958 permits local jurisdictions to make such changes or modifications to the California Building Standards Codes as are necessary due to local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and WHEREAS, on January 9, 2026, the notice of City Council public hearing was published in digital and paper versions of general circulation of the Coast News; and WHEREAS, on January 20, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing for introduction of the Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the minor modifications and changes to the California Building Standards Code are reasonably necessary to ensure consistent application of the codes throughout the State as has been applied to proposed development since 2018; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments do not constitute an amendment to the Cityís certified Local Coastal Program, which means that the final decision on the ordinance will be made by the Del Mar City Council.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Del Mar hereby ordains as follows:

SECTION ONE:

That Section 23.12.070 Chapter 23.12 Division 1 (Building Code) of the Municipal Code is amended to read as follows:

23.12.070 - Adoption of the 2025 California Green Building Code, Part 11, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.

The California Green Building Code is hereby adopted and incorporated by reference herein as the Cityís green building code for the stated purpose of prescribing regulations in the City of Del Mar for improving public health, safety and general welfare by enhancing the design and construction of buildings through the use of building concepts having a reduced negative impact or positive environmental impact and encouraging sustainable construction practices, the 2025 California Green Building Code, Part 11, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, a portion of the California Building Code, as defined in the California Health and Safety Code, Section 18902 et seq.

Required Findings:
5 February 3, 2026 Item 4
Ordinance No. XXXX

Page 3 of 6 ends

The adoption of the CalGreen Code is consistent with required State standards and is necessary to bring the DMMC into consistency Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.

SECTION TWO:

That Section 23.12.071 of Chapter 23.12 Division 1 (Building Code) is added to read as follows:

23.12.071 - Local Amendment to the California Green Building Code - Implementation of Voluntary Tier 1 Building Code Standards as Mandatory Measures for Non-residential Construction.

Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter or by other parts of the Del Mar Municipal Code, all construction shall be in conformance with the California Building Standards Code and rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, including the 2025 California Green Building Code, published by the California Building Standards Commission and Appendix A5 (Tier 1 non-residential voluntary measures), incorporated herein by reference, is adopted as mandatory provisions for all new non-residential construction and any non-residential construction over a $150,000.00 valuation as determined by the City of Del Mar Building Division.

Required Findings:

The City of Del Mar City Council by a duly noticed public hearing adopted its Climate Action Plan (CAP) on June 6, 2016. By adopting the CAP, the City committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50% through the year 2035. As part of the implementation of the programs within the CAP, the City Council specifically prioritized efforts to adopt more stringent construction standards as a way to reduce energy consumption. CalGreen Tier 1 standards represent a 15% reduction (on average) of energy consumption when compared to the minimum State mandated code.

Considering the small population and land size of the City and the variety of unique factors which influence both the Cityís ability and need to adopt mitigation measures to reduce the impact of climate change, the adoption of Tier 1 commercial construction standards represents a commitment to meeting the Cityís designated emissions targets. The adoption of this modification is reasonably necessary to reach the emissions reductions targets established by the CAP and to further reduce the risks to the City imposed by climate change.

These provisions were adopted in 2018 to implement the CAP and has continued to be adopted under DMMC Section 23.12.070 in subsequent code update cycles.

The language, as it will now appear in Section 23.12.071 of the DMMC, is textually the same as was adopted in Ordinance No. 937 and Ordinances No. 957 and 994 6 February 3, 2026 Item 4
Ordinance No. XXXX

Page 4 of 6 ends

which codified the 2019 and 2022 triennial code cycles respectively. The purpose of this amendment is to allow readers to be able to distinguish between the adoption of the CalGreen Code and the requirements of Ordinance No. 937 and to establish the required findings necessary to comply with Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7. Based on the longstanding history of Ordinances No. 937, 957, and 994, this Amendment is substantially equivalent to an existing policy which conforms to State law and is therefore consistent with California Health and Safety Code Section 17958 which would permit a jurisdiction to adopt language which was previously filed by the governing body of the city or county and was in effect as of September 30, 2025.

SECTION THREE:

This Ordinance was assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The City Council hereby finds that under Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of CEQA because based on substantial evidence it can be seen with certainty that the provisions contained herein would not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION FOUR:

This Ordinance was introduced by the City Council on January 20, 2026.

SECTION FIVE:

The City Clerk is directed to prepare and have published in media of general circulation a summary of this Ordinance no less than five days prior to the consideration of its adoption and again within 15 days following adoption indicating votes cast.

SECTION SIX:

If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.

SECTION SEVEN:

Upon adoption, the City Building Official is hereby authorized and directed to file a copy of this Ordinance with the California Building Standards Commission consistent with Section 17958.7(a) of the California Health and Safety Code. 7 February 3, 2026 Item 4

SECTION EIGHT:

This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after its passage and the City Clerk of the City of Del Mar is hereby authorized to use summary publication procedures pursuant to Government Code Section 36933 utilizing a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Del Mar.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Kaitlyn Elliott-Norgrove, Special Projects & Programs Manager Clem Brown, Assistant City Manager
Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: February 3, 2026
SUBJECT: Council Consideration of the 2026 Legislative Policy Guidelines REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the City’s 2026 Legislative Policy Guidelines (Attachment A).

BACKGROUND:

Starting in 2011, the City Council adopted Legislative Policy Guidelines (Guidelines) to allow the City to take appropriate positions on state and federal legislative and administrative issues that affect the City of Del Mar. The Guidelines are brought forward to the City Council annually for review early in the calendar year and are intended to comprehensively identify and memorialize the City’s position on a broad spectrum of issues. The most recent revisions to the Guidelines were adopted on February 3, 2025.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The Guidelines assist the City Council and staff in representing the City in state and federal advocacy and provide guidance to Councilmembers and staff who may be called upon by regional, state, and federal officials, or their staff, to represent the City of Del Mar on a wide range of policy issues.

The Guidelines allow the City Council to take the following actions:
• Bring forward a proposed revision to the Guidelines (by two Councilmembers); • Advocate in support of or opposition to legislation in accordance with the Guidelines; • Take a position on a matter in accordance with the Guidelines; • Represent the City on issues outlined in the Guidelines; • Bring periodic updates to Council on important legislative issues; and/or • Seek support for City policy at all levels of the federal and state government, including administrative departments.

2026 Legislative Policy Guidelines
February 3, 2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

For issues not addressed in the Guidelines, or where mitigating factors may warrant a position different from those identified in the Guidelines, the matter shall be considered by the full City Council for direction.

To review the 2026 Guidelines for potential updates, staff sought feedback from City staff, the City’s legislative affairs consultant, Townsend Public Affairs (TPA), and the City Council.

The following recommendations were provided by City staff and TPA:
• Remove from the “Elections” section the following provision, as all registered voters now receive mail balls: “Support legislation that authorizes the City to conduct a special election wholly by mail or via a secure, online voting system.” • Add to the “Elections” section: “Oppose legislation that would impose overly costly, burdensome, or administratively complex election requirements on local governments, including mandates that increase operational expenses without providing corresponding funding.”
• Add to the “Public Works” section: “Support coordinated planning, design, and delivery of public works and transportation projects through strong collaboration among local, state, and federal governments, transportation agencies, and utility providers to achieve intended outcomes, ensure efficient implementation, and maximize community and regional benefits.”
• Add to the “Housing” section: “Support measures that would create standardized housing element review processes and increased information sharing with the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).” Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the 2026 Guidelines with these revisions as show in Appendix A.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact or action required by the City Council related to this agenda item.

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.

CITY OF DEL MAR
2026 LEGISLATIVE POLICY GUIDELINES
1 INTRODUCTION
The following guidelines shall be utilized by the City to take appropriate positions regarding both State of California and federal legislative and administrative issues that affect the City of Del Mar.

The guidelines are to define City Council approved positions and to assist the City Council and staff in pro-active advocacy and in responding to various issues as they arise so that the City response may be timely, clear, and consistent with City Council direction. The guidelines are also to guide the official positions of Council Members that represent the City on regional and/or local government bodies and in making public statements reflecting City positions. At any time, any two Council Members may recommend changes to the Legislative Policy Guidelines. Individual Council Members retain the right to state personal positions different from these adopted guidelines but only when such statements are identified as a personal expression differing from adopted City positions.

When a legislative matter arises that is addressed in these guidelines, City staff may prepare a letter for the Mayor’s signature taking a position on the matter in accordance with these guidelines. For issues not addressed in these guidelines, or if there are mitigating factors where the City Council may want to take a position different from those indicated in these guidelines, the issue shall be considered by the City Council for direction.

As needed, any two Council Members can provide periodic updates of important legislative issues to the City Council at regular City Council Meetings. The City Council will then have the opportunity to approve a position statement on the issues. The City Council will review the Legislative Policy Guidelines annually to recommend changes prior to the beginning of each legislative session.

If for some reason there is a conflict between City Council adopted goals and these legislative policies, the adopted goals shall supersede these policies.

Guiding Principles
I. Preserve Local Control and Governance
Preserve and protect the City’s authority, duties, and prerogatives to enact local legislation and policy direction concerning local affairs. Oppose legislation that preempts local authority and advocate for the preservation of the City’s ability to raise revenue and provide vital services for its residents.

II. Promote Fiscal Stability
Support measures that promote fiscal stability, predictability, financial solvency, and preserve the City’s revenue base. Maintain maximum control over local government budgeting while opposing measures that shift local funds to the county, state, or federal governments to implement unfunded mandates and other regulatory costs.

III. Support Funding Opportunities for Projects Consistent with City Goals 4 February 3, 2026 Item 5

CITY OF DEL MAR

A. State-Federal Mandated Programs

1. Support legislation requiring the State and Federal Government to provide full cost reimbursement to cities for all mandated programs and for all programs resulting in revenue losses.

2. Oppose any measure that mandates procedures (such as maintenance-of-effort) that would make local government more dependent on the State for financial stability.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Karen Falk, Principal Engineer
Joe Bride, Public Works Director
Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: February 3, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution to Amend the State Lands Commission Lease No. 8181 for the Camino Del Mar Bridge Replacement Project
REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving an Amendment to State Lands Commission General Lease Agreement No. 8181 for the Camino Del Mar Bridge Replacement Project (Attachment A) and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amendment on behalf of the City.

BACKGROUND:

The California State Lands Commission (SLC) was established in 1938 and manages four million acres of tide and submerged lands and the beds of natural navigable rivers, streams, lakes, bays, estuaries, and straits. These lands are often referred to as sovereign or Public Trust lands. SLC protects and enhances these lands and natural resources by issuing leases for use or development, providing public access, and resolving boundaries between public and private lands. Through its actions, SLC secures and safeguards the public's access rights to natural navigable waterways and the coastline and preserves irreplaceable natural habitats for wildlife, vegetation, and biological communities.

SLC has jurisdiction and management responsibility for the lands where the Camino del Mar Bridge crosses over the San Dieguito River, and for which the City has an existing General Lease Agreement No. 8181 (Lease Agreement) (Attachment B). The Lease Agreement covers maintenance of the existing bridge for a 49-year term beginning June 1, 2000, and ending May 31, 2049.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Following review of the design plans and environmental documents for the Camino Del Bridge Replacement Project, SLC notified the City that an Amendment to the Lease Agreement is required to allow for project construction activities as further described in the attached Resolution (Attachment A) and proposed General Lease Amendment (Lease Amendment) (Attachment C). Approval of the Lease Amendment is critical to ensuring timely construction of the Camino 1 February 3, 2026 Item 6
Resolution Approving the Amended SLC Agreement

Del Mar Bridge Replacement Project and will be considered by the SLC at its February 9, 2026, meeting.

The Lease Amendment reflects the SLC’s current standardized formatting and language, and references project-specific environmental protections that will be included in the bid package for the contractor. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the required SLC Lease Amendment and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact or action required by the City Council related to the recommended action.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

NEXUS TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

The Camino Del Mar Bridge Replacement Project is a Tier 1 City Council priority item.

2.2. Payment of Rent. Lessee must pay rent annually, on or before each anniversary of this Lease unless this Lease specifies a different rent schedule.

2.8. Periodic Rent Review. Lessor may modify the method, amount, or rate of consideration effective on each tenth anniversary of the beginning date of this Lease, in addition to the last two years of the Lease as provided in Provision 14.4 below.

No such modification shall become effective unless Lessee is given at least thirty (30) days’ notice prior to the date of the Commission meeting wherein the rent modification is considered or thirty (30) days’ notice prior to the effective date of the increase, whichever provides a greater notice period.

2.9.

10.2. Lessee Responsible for Impacts to Natural Resources and Public Trust Uses.

When the Lease Premises include school lands or sovereign lands, the Lessee is responsible for any damage or adverse impacts to Natural Resources within or adjacent to the Lease Premises.

Such leasing will not be inconsistent or incompatible with the rights or privileges of Lessee under this Lease.

10.4. Right to Inspect. Lessor reserves the right to inspect the Lease Premises. If access to the Lease Premises is reasonably accomplished by passing through adjacent property owned by Lessee, Lessor shall provide 24-hour notice prior to entry and Lessee shall grant such entry for inspection of the Lease Premises.

10.5. Statutory Reservations. Lessor reserves to the public an easement across the Lease Premises complying with Public Resources Code section 6210.4 and Public Resources Code section 6210.5.

10.6. Multiple Overlapping Leases Allowed. Lessor reserves the right to lease, convey, or encumber the Lease Premises, in whole or in part, during the Lease term for any purpose not inconsistent or incompatible with the rights or privileges of Lessee under this Lease.

Paragraph 11: Indemnity

11.1. Lessee’s Sole Risk. Lessee’s use of the Lease Premises and any Improvements thereon, including use by guests and invitees, is at Lessee’s sole and exclusive risk.

11.2. Lessee to Indemnify Lessor. Except to the extent caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Lessor, Lessee shall indemnify, hold harmless, and, at the option of Lessor, defend Lessor, its officers, agents, and employees from any and all Damages resulting from Lessee’s occupation and use of the Lease Premises. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor in full for all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, specifically including, without limitation, any Damages arising by reason of: (1) The issuance, enjoyment, interpretation, or breach of this Lease; (2) The challenge to or defense of any environmental review upon which the issuance of this Lease is based; (3) The death or injury of any person, or damage to or destruction of any property from any cause whatever in any way connected with the Lease Premises, or with any of the Improvements or personal property on the Lease Premises; (4) The condition of the Lease Premises, or Improvements on the Lease Premises; (5) An act or omission on the Lease Premises by Lessee or any person in, on, or about the Lease Premises; (6) Any work performed on the Lease Premises or material furnished to the Lease ATTACHMENT C 32 February 3, 2026 Item 6
Section 3 General Provisions Page 13 of 22 Form 51.16 (Rev. 4/24) Premises; (7) Lessee’s failure to comply with any Applicable Laws or violation of any Environmental Laws; (8) The costs for any cleanup or other response costs relating to the release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials on the Lease Premises during Lessee’s occupation of the Lease Premises. This obligation includes any prior leases between Lessee and Lessor and will continue until Lessee has performed all duties under Paragraph 14.

11.3. Lessor Not Required to Defend. Lessor need not defend itself against all or any aspect of any challenge to this Lease or any associated environmental review. However, Lessee may take whatever legal action is available to it to defend this Lease or any associated environmental review against any challenge by a third party, whether or not Lessor chooses to raise a defense against such a challenge.

11.4. Lessee to Notify Lessor. Lessee shall notify Lessor immediately in case of any accident, injury, or casualty on the Lease Premises.

Paragraph 12: Assignment, Encumbrance, or Sublet

12.1. Lessor’s Consent Required for Assignment. Lessee shall not mortgage; hypothecate; encumber; assign; sublet; enter into franchise, license, or concession agreements; or otherwise transfer all or part of this Lease (collectively “Assign” or “Assignment”) without Lessor’s advanced and expressed consent at a properly noticed public meeting. Any purported Assignment without Lessor’s consent will be void and of no force or effect and will not confer any estate or benefit on anyone. A consent to one Assignment by Lessor will not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Assignment by or to any other party.

12.2. Lessee Actions Not Considered Assignments. If Lessee is a public corporation whose stock is traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, sale or transfer of such stock is not an Assignment.

12.3. Procedures. If Lessee desires to Assign this Lease, Lessee will apply to Lessor for the proposed Assignment. The Assignment will be considered by Lessor at a public meeting. Lessor may require any of the following in considering consent of an Assignment: (a) the nature, effective date, terms, and conditions of the assignment; (b) a description of the identity, net worth, and previous business experience of the proposed assignee; (c) a complete business plan prepared by the proposed assignee; and (d) any further information relevant to the proposed Assignment that Lessor reasonably requests. Lessor may either (i) consent to the proposed Assignment; (ii) refuse to consent to the proposed ATTACHMENT C 33 February 3, 2026 Item 6
Section 3 General Provisions Page 14 of 22 Form 51.16 (Rev. 4/24) Assignment; or (iii) determine that it is preferable to terminate this Lease and issue a new lease to the proposed assignee.

12.4. Standard for Consent. Lessor may refuse its consent to the proposed Assignment on any reasonable grounds. Reasonable grounds include, without limitation: (a) the proposed assignee intends to use the Lease Premises for different activities or uses than those set forth in Section 1; (b) the proposed assignee’s financial condition is deemed by Lessor to be inadequate to support the financial and other obligations of Lessee under this Lease; (c) the business reputation or character of the proposed assignee is not reasonably acceptable to Lessor; (d) the proposed assignee is not likely to conduct a business of a quality substantially equal to that conducted by Lessee; (e) the proposed assignee’s planned use of the Lease Premises would increase the burden on the Lease Premises, involve an increased risk of the presence, use, release, or discharge of Hazardous Materials; or (f) Lessor has not received adequate assurance that all breaches will be cured before the effective date of the proposed Assignment.

12.5. Additional Terms. Lessee’s Assignment of the Lease does not release Lessee from liability for any Hazardous Materials or ordinance manufactured, generated, used, placed, disposed, stored, or transported on the Lease Premises during Lessee’s tenancy. An unauthorized assignment does not relieve Lessee from its covenants and obligations under this Lease. Lessor’s acceptance of any payment due under this Lease from any person other than Lessee will not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Assignment.

12.6. Bankruptcy. If Lessee files a petition or an order for relief is entered against Lessee under the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq.), then the trustee or debtor-in-possession must elect to assume or reject this Lease within sixty (60) days after filing of the petition or appointment of the trustee, or as that deadline may be extended by order of the court, or the Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected and Lessor shall be entitled to immediate possession of the Lease Premises. No assumption or assignment of this Lease shall be effective unless it is in writing and unless the trustee or debtor-in-possession has cured all breaches of this Lease (monetary and non-monetary) or has provided Lessor with adequate assurances (a) that within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption or assignment, all monetary breaches of this Lease will be cured; and (b) that within thirty (30) days from the date of such assumption, all non-monetary breaches of this Lease will be cured; and (c) that all provisions of this Lease will ATTACHMENT C 34 February 3, 2026 Item 6
Section 3 General Provisions Page 15 of 22 Form 51.16 (Rev. 4/24) be satisfactorily performed in the future.

12.7. Permitted Assignments. The following Assignments are permitted under this Lease without Lessor’s consent: (a) Assignment caused by the death of a spouse where the full interest of the deceased spouse is Assigned to a surviving spouse who is a co-lessee on this Lease, provided Lessor is notified in writing within thirty (30) days of the assignment; (b) assignment caused by the dissolution of the marriage of Lessee when the full interest of one spouse is assigned to the other spouse who is a co-lessee on this Lease, provided Lessor is notified in writing within thirty (30) days of the transfer; and (c) substitution or succession of a new trustee if the Lease is held in trust and the Lessee is a trustee or successor trustee thereof, provided Lessor is notified in writing no later than sixty (60) days after the named trustee as appears on the face of this Lease becomes unable or ceases to serve as trustee for any reason.

12.8. Lessee Remedies. If Lessor withholds or conditions its consent and Lessee believes that Lessor did so contrary to the terms of this Lease, then Lessee’s sole remedy will be to prosecute an action for declaratory relief to determine if Lessor properly withheld or conditioned its consent, and Lessee hereby waives all other remedies.

Paragraph 13: Breach

13.1. Events of Breach. All covenants and agreements contained in this Lease are declared to be conditions to this Lease. Lessee’s failure to pay rent when due or any other charges under this Lease for five (5) days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee will be considered a monetary breach. Lessee’s failure to perform any other promise, covenant, or agreement under this Lease for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee will be considered a non-monetary breach. If a non-monetary breach cannot be cured within the thirty (30)-day period, the breach will be deemed to be cured if Lessee begins to cure the breach within the thirty (30)-day period and continues to diligently complete the cure.

13.2. Breach of Lease. Lessor shall provide written notice to Lessee specifying the particulars of the breach. Should Lessee fail to cure the breach within the period specified in Paragraph 13.1, then Lessor may elect to pursue any available remedies under law, or those specified in paragraph 13.3, below.

13.3. Remedies on Breach of Lease. In addition to any other rights or remedies at law or equity, Lessor may, without further notice, (a) terminate this Lease, reenter ATTACHMENT C 35 February 3, 2026 Item 6
Section 3 General Provisions Page 16 of 22 Form 51.16 (Rev. 4/24) and take possession of the Lease Premises and remove all persons and all Improvements therefrom at Lessee’s cost; or (b) keep this Lease in effect without declaring this Lease terminated and without terminating Lessee’s right to possession, reenter the Lease Premises and occupy the whole or any part for and on account of Lessee and collect any unpaid rentals and other charges that have become payable or that may thereafter become payable; or (c) terminate this Lease after reentering the Lease Premises as provided in subclause (b) above. Any notice required to be given by Lessor above will be instead of, and not in addition to, any notice required under the laws of the State of California.

13.4. Determination of Rental Value. If rent under this Lease is calculated as percentage of Lessee’s income attributable to the Lease Premises and Lessee abandons the Lease Premises, then the reasonable rental value shall be the percentage of proceeds Lessor would have received had Lessee operated the Lease Premises in the usual and customary manner.

13.5. Acceptance of Rent When Lessee is in Breach. Lessor’s acceptance of any rent shall not be considered a waiver of any preexisting Breach by Lessee other than the failure to pay the particular rent accepted regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of the preexisting Breach at the time rent is accepted, unless the breach was a monetary breach and the payment occurs during the cure period specified in Paragraph 13.1.

13.6. Acceptance of Payments After Lease Termination. Lessee’s submission or Lessor’s acceptance of any payments after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall not reinstate or extend this Lease. Lessor may elect to retain any payment submitted and apply these payments to offset any damages claimed against Lessee; or Lessor may elect to allow a holdover tenancy under Paragraph 14.6; or Lessor may elect to refund the payments less a reasonable handling fee.

13.7. Waiver of Rights. The failure or delay of either party to exercise any right or remedy shall not be construed as a waiver of such right or remedy or any Breach by the other party.

Paragraph 14: Conditions of Lease Termination

14.1. Use of State Land. This Lease authorizes the use or occupation of state land for a fixed term of years without options or rights of renewal. Lessee accepts that future leases authorizing the continued existence of any Improvements ATTACHMENT C 36 February 3, 2026 Item 6
Section 3 General Provisions Page 17 of 22 Form 51.16 (Rev. 4/24) constructed or maintained by Lessee on the Lease Premises are subject to a discretionary action of the California State Lands Commission. Submission of an application for a new lease does not guarantee a new lease will be granted to Lessee. Lessee acknowledges that construction of Improvements on the Lease Premises and investment in or obtaining financing for the uses authorized under this Lease is done in full understanding that future leases are not guaranteed.

Lessee also affirmatively represents that the cost of removing Improvements was considered before entering into this Lease and placing or assuming any Improvements on state land.

14.2. Abandonment. Lessee’s right of access to the Lease Premises was a material consideration in Lessor issuing this Lease. If, without prior notice to Lessor, Lessee sells, abandons, or loses title to the upland property adjacent to the Lease Premises, or otherwise loses the legal right to access the Lease Premises, Lessor may deem this an abandonment of the Lease Premises. Lessee must actively maintain and manage any Improvements authorized by this Lease. Should Lessee discontinue use, management, or maintenance of the authorized Improvements, Lessor may deem this an abandonment and elect to terminate the Lease. Alternately, Lessor has the remedy described in California Civil Code section 1951.4 (Lessor may continue lease in effect after Lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due if Lessee has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitation). Abandonment of the Lease Premises shall not relieve Lessee of any obligations under this Lease.

14.3. Restoration. In issuing this Lease it is Lessor’s understanding that all Improvements will be removed from state land at the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Lessee abandons the Lease Premises, or Lessor terminates this Lease, or this Lease expires without execution of a new lease authorizing Lessee’s use of the Lease Premises, Lessee must: 1) remove all Improvements regardless of whether Lessee constructed or placed Improvements together with all debris at its sole expense and risk, restoring the Lease Premises to as close as possible to an unimproved condition to Lessor’s satisfaction; and 2) immediately surrender possession of the Lease Premises. Lessor may, in its sole discretion, allow all or any portion of the Improvements to remain in place. In carrying out this obligation, Lessee acknowledges that further authorizations, review of the Restoration Plan, and environmental review may be necessary as outlined in Section 14.4 below.

14.4. Two Years Prior to Expiration. (A) If Lessee desires to continue the uses authorized under this Lease, Lessee shall submit an application together with all ATTACHMENT C 37 February 3, 2026 Item 6
Section 3 General Provisions Page 18 of 22 Form 51.16 (Rev. 4/24) required fees at least two years prior to the expiration of this Lease. Submission of an application does not guarantee a new lease will be granted to Lessee. (B) If Lessee does not desire to occupy the Lease Premises beyond the term of this Lease, then two years prior to the expiration of this Lease, Lessee shall submit an application, including a detailed plan to remove all Improvements and restore the Lease Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation or construction of any Improvements. The plan must include a timeline for obtaining all necessary permits. The restoration plan may require a subsequent environmental review and approval from Lessor. (C) Lessor may modify annual rent, surety and insurance within the last two years of the Lease.

14.5. Failure to Restore Lease Premises. Lessee’s failure to remove improvements, restore the Lease Premises, or surrender possession of the Lease Premises at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease shall not constitute a renewal or extension and shall not give Lessee any rights in or to the Lease Premises or any part thereof. Lessee shall not be entitled to any compensation for Improvements left on the Lease Premises at the termination or expiration of this Lease. Lessor may, in its sole discretion, elect to treat the Improvements as abandoned and remove all or any portion of Improvements from the Lease Premises. Lessee’s failure to adequately restore the Lease Premises imposes significant financial liability on Lessor. As a result, Lessee shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by Lessor in restoring the Lease Premises, including, without limitation, staff time, environmental work or permitting, contractor costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees.

14.6. Holdover. This Lease terminates without further notice at the end of its term.

Lessor may, in its sole discretion, choose to accept Rent for the Lease Premises and allow a period of holdover tenancy. Any holdover tenancy shall be on a month-to-month basis. Lessee’s submittal of annual rent during holdover does not constitute tenancy longer than month-to-month. Any holdover tenancy shall be on the same terms as this Lease insofar as such terms can be applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. The rent for each month or any portion thereof during such holdover period is one hundred fifty percent (150%) of one-twelfth (1/12) of the total compensation for the most recent year paid. The month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Lessor upon thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Lessee.

14.7. Holdover on Leases with No Monetary Consideration. In the event this Lease does not require monetary consideration, 14.6 shall continue to apply, and in addition: 1) Lessor shall have the right to establish rent based on the fair ATTACHMENT C 38 February 3, 2026 Item 6
Section 3 General Provisions Page 19 of 22 Form 51.16 (Rev. 4/24) market value of the Lease Premises, and 2) In no way shall the prior lease consideration limit damages for trespass.

14.8. Quitclaim. In the event this Lease is terminated prior to expiration, Lessee shall deliver a quitclaim of all rights under this Lease to Lessor on request. Lessee shall execute and deliver such quitclaim to Lessor in a form provided by Lessor.

Should Lessee fail or refuse to deliver such a release, Lessor may record a written notice reciting such failure or refusal. This written notice shall, from the date of its recordation, be conclusive evidence against Lessee of the termination of this Lease and all other claimants.

Paragraph 15: Additional Provisions

15.1. Conflict in Terms. In the case of any conflict between these General Provisions and Special Provisions found in Section 2, the Special Provisions control.

15.2. Boundaries. This Lease does not establish the State's boundaries in so far as it relates to land and resource jurisdiction and ownership and is made without prejudice to either party regarding any land and water boundary or title claims which may be asserted presently or in the future.

15.3. No Waiver. Lessor’s acceptance of a late or nonconforming performance shall not constitute a waiver unless such waiver is expressly acknowledged by Lessor in writing. Lessor’s delay in or omission to exercise any right under this Lease shall not constitute a waiver.

15.4. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence for this Lease and each and all of its terms, covenants or conditions in which performance is a factor.

15.5. Notice. All notices required to be given under this Lease shall be given in writing, sent by U.S. Mail or other reputable private carrier with postage prepaid, to Lessor at the offices of the State Lands Commission and the Lessee at the address specified in this Lease. Lessor’s staff and Lessee may agree to accept any notice by electronic mail. Lessee shall give Lessor notice of any change in its name or address.

15.6. Consent. Lessor’s consent to one transaction or event shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent occurrence.

15.7. Changes. This Lease may only be amended, revised, or supplement by written agreement of the Parties.

15.8. Joint and Several Obligation. If more than one Lessee is a party to this ATTACHMENT C 39 February 3, 2026 Item 6
Section 3 General Provisions Page 20 of 22 Form 51.16 (Rev. 4/24) Lease, the obligations of the Lessees shall be joint and several.

15.9. Captions. The section and paragraph captions used in this Lease are for the convenience of the Parties. The captions are not controlling and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of this Lease.

15.10. Severability. If any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15.11. Representations. Lessee agrees that no representations have been made by Lessor or by any person or agent acting for Lessor except those stated in this Lease. This document contains the entire agreement of the Parties. No verbal agreements, representations, warranties, or other understandings affect this Lease. Lessor and Lessee, as a material part of the consideration of this Lease, waive all claims against the other for rescission, damages, or otherwise by reason of any alleged covenant, agreement, or understanding not contained in this Lease.

15.12. Gender and Plurality. In this Lease, words importing any gender include any or all genders, and the singular number includes the plural whenever the context so requires.

15.13. Survival of Certain Covenants. All covenants pertaining to bond, insurance, indemnification, restoration obligations, breach or remedies shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease until Lessee has fulfilled all obligations to restore the Lease Premises as required by this Lease.

15.14. Counterparts. This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different Parties in separate counterparts.

15.15. Delegation of Authority. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that Lessor as defined herein includes the Commission Members, their alternates or designees, and the staff of the Commission. The ability of staff of the Commission to give consent, or take other discretionary actions described herein will be as described in the then-current delegation of authority to Commission staff. All other powers are reserved to the Commission.

15.16. Successors. The terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease shall extend to and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, and assigns of the respective parties.

L-1
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
CEQA Section 21081.6 requires that a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) be adopted along with a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) to ensure that proposed mitigation measures are implemented. The MMRP must specify what the mitigation measure requires, the entity responsible for monitoring the program, and when in the process it should be implemented. Table L-1 lists the mitigation measures identified in the analysis of this MND that would be required as part of the proposed project. Table L-2 identifies the Project Design Features and Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be implemented as part of the proposed project.

scheduled to commence between March 15 and
June 30 (i.e., breeding season for Belding’s
savannah sparrow) to ensure the absence of this
species. If this subsequent survey finds active
nesting territories belonging to this species,
then construction shall: (1) be postponed until a
qualified biologist determines the nest(s) is no
longer active or until after the respective
breeding season; (2) not occur until a temporary
noise barrier or berm is constructed at the edge
of the development footprint and/or around
construction equipment to the satisfaction of
the project biologist; and/or (3) shall be
postponed until consultation with CDFW to
address protection of this species has been
completed by the City.

BIO-2: Construction Noise Abatement.

If noise-generating construction activities are
not completed prior to the breeding season for
Belding’s savannah sparrow (March 15 through
June 30) and this species is found present during
the pre-construction surveys completed in
accordance with BIO-1, then appropriate noise
attenuation measures shall be implemented to
reduce construction noise levels at the edge of
occupied habitat to below 60 dBA LEQ (one
hour average). Such measures shall include, but
not be limited to, the following:
• Construction equipment shall be properly
outfitted and maintained with
manufacturer- recommended noisereduction devices.
• Diesel equipment shall be operated with
closed engine doors and equipped with
factory- recommended mufflers.
• Mobile or fixed “package” equipment (e.g.,
arc-welders and air compressors) shall be
equipped with shrouds and noise control
features that are readily available for that
type of equipment.
• Electrically powered equipment shall be
used instead of pneumatic or internalcombustion powered equipment, where feasible.
• Unnecessary idling of internal combustion
engines (e.g., in excess of 5 minutes) shall be
prohibited.

safety warning purposes only.
• No project-related public address or music
system shall be audible at any adjacent
sensitive receptor.
• Temporary sound barriers or sound blankets
shall be installed between construction
operations and adjacent noise-sensitive
habitat. The project Contractor shall
construct a temporary noise barrier at least
6 feet in height meeting the specifications
listed below (or of a Sound Transmission
Class 19 rating or better) to attenuate noise.
• All barriers shall be solid and constructed of
wood, plastic, fiberglass, steel, masonry, or a
combination of those materials, with no
cracks or gaps through or below the wall.

Any seams or cracks must be filled or
caulked. If wood is used, it can be tongue
and groove or close butted seams and must
be at least 3⁄4-inch thick or have a surface
density of at least 3.5 pounds per squarefoot. Sheet metal of 18-gauge (minimum) may be used if it meets the other criteria and
is properly supported and stiffened so that it
does not rattle or create noise itself from
vibration or wind. Noise blankets, hoods, or
covers also may be used, provided they are
appropriately implemented to provide the
required sound attenuation.

BIO-3: Nesting Bird and Raptor Avoidance.

In order to avoid violation of the federal MBTA
and California Fish and Game Code, sitepreparation activities (removal of trees and vegetation) shall be avoided during the general
avian breeding season (January 15 to July 30 for
raptors; February 15 to September 30 for other
avian species).

If site-preparation activities are to occur during
the general avian or raptor breeding season, a

Sound levels may be limited by sound
control devices, limiting the number of
equipment operating at once, or installation
of temporary noise barriers between the
construction site and sensitive receptors.

2. Construction equipment shall be properly
outfitted and maintained with manufacturer
recommended noise-reduction devices to
minimize construction-generated noise.

3. Stationary construction noise sources such
as generators or pumps shall be located at
least 100 feet from noise-sensitive land uses.

Sarah Krietor, Administrative Services Manager
Kseniia Izgarskaia, Senior Management Analyst
Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: February 3, 2026
SUBJECT: Proposed Addition of Management Analyst Position to the Finance Division REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment A) authorizing the addition of a Management Analyst position to the Finance Division and amend the FY 2025-2026 Operating and Capital Budget as described in the Fiscal Impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Finance Division of the Administrative Services Department manages the City’s accounting and finance activities and consists of five positions, including Finance Manager/Treasurer, Finance Officer, Accountant, and two Accounting Technicians. The Accountant and Accounting Technicians are responsible for payroll, utility billing, and accounts payable, while the Finance Manager and Finance Officer oversee higher-level strategic functions and provide executive oversight of the division.

Most City departments have a Management Analyst position supporting the department’s operations, including Community Services, Planning and Community Development, Public Works, City Manager’s Office, and Administrative Services. Under the current organizational structure, the Administrative Services Management Analysts provide administrative and analytical support to the Finance Division for assigned routine tasks and special projects. However, the City’s fiscal operations have grown increasingly complex, and the City is embarking on several new initiatives that will place additional demands on the Finance Division. To ensure continuity of sound fiscal operations, public services, adherence to public financial management best practices, and strong internal controls, it is important to provide sufficient dedicated resources.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Staff recommends adding one permanent, full-time Management Analyst position assigned to the Finance Division to provide more efficient and targeted support for routine and special finance projects. Routine functions that would be performed by the Management 1 February 3, 2026 Item 7
City Council Agenda Report
Proposed Addition of Management Analyst to the Finance Division February 3, 2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

Analyst include analytical support for the budget and audit processes, forecasting and financial analysis, providing back up coverage for essential daily operations like accounts payable, supporting advisory committees, policy research and development, and other duties as assigned. The new Management Analyst position would play a key role in the implementation of several special projects.

The analyst would provide dedicated support for the upcoming Short-Term Rental Program following implementation, including monthly Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) monitoring, permit payment processing, data portal entries, data analytics, reporting, and administrative support for code enforcement efforts. The position would also support development and implementation of the City’s new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system through participation in workflow mapping, training, and user acceptance testing, as well as by providing backup support to other subject matter experts.

In addition, the City is initiating an update to its Cost Allocation Plan to recover indirect costs related to the City’s central service departments, including Finance, Human Resources, City Clerk, Facilities, Information Technology. The analyst will play a central role in this effort and in ongoing maintenance of the associated cost allocation model.

Concurrently, the City will be undertaking a Comprehensive User Fee Study, with the analyst assisting in development of the study and assuming responsibility for ongoing maintenance of the user fee model and coordination of annual updates to the City’s fee schedules.

These major initiatives will have ongoing requirements beyond initial implementation, for which the dedicated analyst will be well-positioned to provide continued support.

Additionally, the analyst would provide management, analytical, and administrative support for the Finance Division, including budget development and monitoring for the Biennial Proposed and Budget Update, coordination of capital and special projects, support for financial forecasting efforts, and assistance with related policies. The position will also help coordinate contractual services, advisory committee support, agenda items, and annual financial reporting.

The proposed position would be funded entirely by the General Fund. The estimated fully loaded annual cost, including salary and benefits, is approximately $100,000, which would be proportionally offset with revenues related to STR operations. The Management Analyst is included in the City’s existing Management, Professional and Confidential Employees salary schedule; therefore, no amendment to the compensation plan is required.

The Management Analyst classification is an umbrella term for a multi-level classification series that includes Assistant Management Analyst, Management Analyst, Associate Management Analyst, and Senior Management Analyst levels. Following the City Council approval, the City will conduct an open recruitment process, and it is anticipated that the position will be filled by approximately April 2026. This timing is important, as the 2 February 3, 2026 Item 7
City Council Agenda Report
Proposed Addition of Management Analyst to the Finance Division February 3, 2026

Page 3 of 3 ends

Management Analyst is envisioned to play a primary role in the administrative activities associated with implementation of the new STR regulations.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If approved, the recommended action would result in an estimated increase of approximately $22,000 for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025-2026. Council approval of the recommended action will result in an amendment to the FY 2025-2026 Operating and Capital Budget as detailed below:

Two-year Treasury yields, which were approximately 3.60% at the beginning of the quarter, declined to 3.47% by the end of the quarter, representing a decrease of 13 basis points during the period.

As of December 31, 2025, the weighted yield to maturity on the Managed Investment Portfolio was 3.73%, and the weighted average maturity of the portfolio was 2.59 years.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets approximately every six weeks to determine the federal funds rate. On December 10, 2025, the FOMC voted to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 0.25 percentage points to a new range from 3.50% to

3.75%. The FOMC noted that economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace, job gains have slowed, and the unemployment rate has edged higher through September.

Inflation remains elevated, and uncertainty persists regarding the economic outlook. The FOMC is aiming for maximum employment and maintaining 2% inflation over the long run and noted that further rate adjustments will depend on incoming data, the evolving economic outlook, and risk assessment.

Based on the projected timing of cash receipts and disbursements and the structure of the City’s pooled investment portfolio, the City is expected to comfortably meet overall cash flow needs over the next six months.

Agenda Report
________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:

TO: City Councilmembers
FROM: Mayor Tracy Martinez and Councilmember Terry Gaasterland City Council Human Resources Subcommittee
DATE: February 3, 2026
SUBJECT: Recommended Compensation Adjustment Related to the City Manager’s Performance Evaluation and Second Amendment to Employment Contract REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council Human Resources Subcommittee recommends the City Council: 1) Adopt the Resolution (Attachment A) approving changes to the City Manager’s compensation retroactively effective to December 13, 2025, and updating the Management and Professional Compensation Plan to reflect those changes (Exhibit A to Attachment A); and 2) Approve the Second Amendment to the City Manager’s Employment Agreement (Attachment B) increasing City deferred compensation contributions and life insurance benefit.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council began the annual City Manager evaluation process in December 2025. As part of the process, the City Council met as a group during closed session to review and discuss the City Manager’s performance for the period December 13, 2024, through December 13, 2025.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Through this collaborative effort, the City Council concluded that the City Manager’s overall performance was highly favorable and met the City Council’s expectations.

Below are some examples of the City Manager’s significant accomplishments during the evaluation period:
• Through a comprehensive process that was directed by Council and facilitated by staff, the City Council adopted updates to the Trees, Scenic Views, and Sunlight Ordinance on December 17, 2025.
• Coordinated the City’s engagement on the LOSSAN Rail Realignment, including active participation in SANDAG’s Value Analysis to advocate for reduced impacts to Del Mar and preparation of Council-approved comments on SANDAG’s Notice of Preparation. • Achieved significant progress on several important capital improvement projects for the City including the Utility Undergrounding District Stratford Court South (UUD 1A) and Crest Canyon (UUD X1A).
• Advanced the Fairgrounds Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (ENRA) by utilizing $1.5 million in HAP grant funding to complete comprehensive feasibility, environmental, infrastructure, financial, and design analyses for affordable housing and executing a First 1 February 3, 2026 Item 9
City Council Agenda Report
City Manager’s Compensation Adjustment
February 3, 2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

Amendment to extend the ENRA through April 2027 to align with the Fairground’s master site planning efforts.
• Maintained a balanced Operating and Capital Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026. • Continued to build strong working relationships with staff; the City Council; leadership at outside agencies such as the San Diego Association of Governments, North County Transit District, and California Coastal Commission, as well as city leaders throughout the County; and most importantly the Del Mar community.

As part of the standard annual evaluation process, Human Resources staff conducted a market analysis of city manager salaries across the San Diego region. Based on the results of this research, the City of Del Mar City Manager’s pay is approximately 11.70% below the regional median.

Additionally, the City Manager’s employment agreement provides that upon satisfactory performance, the City Manager shall receive a compensation adjustment up to 5% based on Customer Price Index (CPI) and performance.

The San Diego Area Consumer Price Index (CPI) from January 2024-Janaury 2025 was 3.8%.

Based on the City Manager’s highly favorable performance, review of regional compensation for city managers, and CPI data over the past year, the Human Resources subcommittee recommends a 5% base salary increase (3% COLA and 2% performance) for the City Manager retroactively effective December 13, 2025, as required by the City Manager’s employment agreement.

Additionally, based on a regional comparison of City Manager benefits, the HR Subcommittee recommends an increase in the City’s contribution to the City Manager’s deferred compensation plan from $17,500 to $24,500 annually and increase to the City paid life insurance policy from $300,000 to $560,000, which has a nominal impact on premium costs. To implement the increase to deferred contribution and life insurance benefits, an amendment to the City Manager’s employment agreement (Attachment B) is necessary.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this item will have an $11,500 fiscal impact to the FY 2025-2026 Operating Budget.

However, there is no fiscal action to be taken by the City Council related to this agenda item as sufficient funds are available in the current fiscal year budget.

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT to the Employment Agreement (Second Amendment) is made and entered into effective the 3rd day of February 2026, by and between the City of Del Mar, a Charter City and municipal corporation (“City”), and Ashley Jones (“Manager”) (collectively “Parties”).

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Amanda Lee, Principal Planner
Karen Brindley, Planning and Community Development Director Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: February 3, 2026
SUBJECT: Establishment of Short-Term Rental (STR) Permit Application Period REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution to set clear timing for the Short-Term Rental (STR) permit application and implementation process in anticipation of pending action by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) (Attachment A).

BACKGROUND:

After a multi-year process, the City Council adopted the STR Ordinance/Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) on September 23, 2024, with the intent to accommodate STRs operating prior to the adoption of STR Ordinance 1010 (Attachment B). Because the Ordinance includes an LCPA, CCC certification is required before it can take effect and the City can fully implement its STR program which includes permitting, activity monitoring, public facing code complaint and STR operator contact portals, enforcement activities, and a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) remittance and collection platform. Implementation is planned to begin shortly after final CCC certification.

The City’s STR Ordinance/LCPA is scheduled for CCC consideration on February 5, 2026.

Members of the public can review the agenda report and submit a speaker slip or correspondence to the CCC for Agenda Item Th16E through their website linked here:
https://www.coastal.ca.gov/meetings/agenda/#/2026/2. CCC staff is recommending approval of the City’s STR Ordinance without modifications, which may be approved or the CCC could require modifications to the Ordinance resulting in additional City processing. Depending on the CCC determination, final certification of the Ordinance could occur as early as February 5, or in the coming months depending on timing for consideration and approval of any CCC required modifications.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Given the potential variability in the Ordinance effective date based on CCC action, staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment A) establishing a clear STR permit application period from March 2, 2026, to May 1, 2026, as further explained below. 1 February 3, 2026 Item 10
City Council Agenda Report
Resolution for STR Permit Implementation
February 3, 2026

Existing STR Operator Registry
A key component to the adopted regulations is accommodation of STR operations that existed prior to Ordinance adoption. As such, the City conducted a pre-registration process from September 2023 to December 31, 2024, where existing STR operators provided documentation (i.e., rental agreements, advertisements, tax returns, etc.) to demonstrate existing STR use. City staff then reviewed and verified registry submissions to determine their qualification as existing STRs in operation prior to Ordinance adoption. This process was completed in June 2025. Of the 163 registry submissions to the City, 150 were determined to qualify as eligible STRs based on the objective criteria for eligibility stated in the STR Ordinance.

STR Permit Application Process
As a next step in the process for existing STR operators, as deemed qualified through the registry process, they must submit an STR permit application and pay the applicable fee within 60 days following the effective date of the Ordinance (based on CCC certification date).

To accomplish this and provide for a smooth and well-executed permit issuance process, staff is proposing to establish via City Resolution (Attachment A) a defined permit application period beginning on March 2, 2026, and ending May 1, 2026.

As part of this process, applicants will be required to submit additional documentation for review, in accordance with the STR Ordinance, and pay an STR permit fee once the application is approved. City staff will bring a recommended STR permit fee to the City Council for consideration on February 17, 2026.

Applications for “new STRs” will not be able to be processed until there is capacity under the maximum cap of 129 STRs specified in the STR regulations. For those interested in applying for a permit to operate a new STR, additional details (i.e., how to be added to the waitlist) will be provided with the implementation roll-out planned for March 2026.

Update on STR Program Implementation
On October 20, 2025, the City Council approved an agreement with Deckard Technologies Inc. for implementation of the new STR permit process and regulations. Deckard’s software, Rentalscape, offers a comprehensive solution for short-term rental compliance, monitoring, and enforcement. The platform includes permit application processing, ongoing monitoring of STR listings within the City, TOT remittance portal, public facing STR portal, documentation to support code compliance actions when needed, 24/7 Complaint Hotline, and online complaint portal to ensure timely response to community concerns. Staff has been coordinating with the consultant on implementation details in anticipation of a “go live” implementation process in March 2026.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Maggie Jones, Management Analyst
Jon Edelbrock, Director of Community Services
Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: February 3, 2026
SUBJECT: Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Del Mar Municipal Code Section 8.04 to Regulate the Digging of Hazardous Holes on the Public Beach REQUESTED ACTIONS/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council introduce an Ordinance (Attachment A) amending Chapter 8.04, Beaches, Waterways and Parks, adding Section 8.04.100, Digging of Hazardous Holes on a Public Beach, to the Del Mar Municipal Code (DMMC) regulating the excavation of hazardous holes on Del Mar public beaches.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Del Mar’s beaches are heavily used recreational spaces that must remain safe and accessible for residents, visitors, and public safety personnel. Recently, staff and concerned members of the community have observed an increase in the digging of hazardous holes and the burying of individuals. This has resulted in safety concerns including collapse hazards, trip-and-fall risks, impediments to emergency vehicles and equipment, and potential injury or suffocation.

The City’s existing municipal code does not clearly define prohibited sand excavation activities or enforcement protocols. The proposed amendment to Section 8.04 is intended to clarify allowable activity, establish enforceable safety standards, and ensure responsible use of the beach environment.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Recreational digging is a common beach activity. However, unregulated excavation has led to hazardous conditions including deep and unstable holes, buried individuals, and obstructions that can interfere with public access and emergency responses. The Ordinance (Attachment A) proposes adding Section 8.04.100 to regulate the digging of hazardous holes on the public beach in Del Mar. Prohibiting holes exceeding two (2’) feet in depth, the burial of individuals below sand grade, and unattended excavations or sand displacement is intended to reduce safety risks, increase accessibility and prevent emergency incidents.
1 February 3, 2026 Item 11
City Council Agenda Report
Introduction of Ordinance to Regulate the Digging of Hazardous Holes on Del Mar Beach February 3, 2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

In developing the proposed ordinance, City staff reviewed regulations adopted by other coastal jurisdictions to address the safety risks associated with deep or unattended holes in beach sand. Los Angeles County, and the cities of Imperial Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and Huntington Beach, were some of the coastal communities with depth limitations, burying prohibitions, requirements to fill excavations, and enforcement mechanisms. The proposed language in Attachment A reflects common policy objectives while remaining specific to Del Mar’s beach conditions and enforcement capabilities.

The Ordinance advances operational and environmental protections by prohibiting sand holes from being used for waste disposal and requiring that any holes, regardless of depth, be filled prior to leaving the beach. Unfilled or unattended holes can hinder beach maintenance, interfere with emergency access, create safety hazards during periods of high use or limited visibility, and often result in expenditure of significant City resources to re-fill holes. The proposed regulations support ongoing efforts to maintain a clean, safe, and accessible beach for all users.

Hazardous holes dug in the beach sand may present a heightened safety risk for minors.

The language in the Ordinance addresses this by assigning liability to parents or guardians when minors dig holes exceeding two (2’) feet in depth. Enforcement would be conducted through the City’s Community Services Department staff, who will provide education via public signage and verbal contacts; warnings; and, when necessary, administrative citations for non-compliance, consistent with Chapter 1.08 of the DMMC. Each violation would be handled as a separate offense to allow for an appropriate response based on the circumstances.

Implementation Schedule
If introduced by the City Council, the Ordinance would return to Council for consideration and adoption on February 17, 2026, and would become effective thirty (30) days after adoption. Community Services staff will provide additional public education and noticing, including Ordinance details via the Del Mar Weekly e-newsletter, updates to the News and Announcements section of the City website, and updates to public signage.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact or action required related to this agenda item.
