TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Ashley Jones, City Manager
Sarah Krietor, Administrative Services Manager
Kseniia Izgarskaia, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: March 11, 2026
SUBJECT: 2026 City Council Goals & Priorities Setting Workshop REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Receive an update on the Work Plan items to be completed during Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 (Attachment A); 2) Review the FY 2026-27 Work Plan including new items proposed by staff (Attachment B); 3) Review the list of Council Identified Proposed Work Plan Items (Attachment C); and provide direction to staff as needed.

BACKGROUND:

At the beginning of each calendar year, the City Council holds a public workshop to review and establish Council goals and priorities, which is the basis for the City’s annual work plan and aids staff in identifying the necessary budgetary and staffing resources to accomplish the Council established goals. On March 5, 2025, City Council held a Goals & Priorities Setting Workshop and approved a two-year City Work Plan for FY 2025-26 and 2026-27 (Work Plan).

The Work Plan informed the FY 2025-26 and 2026-27 Operating and Capital Budget approved by City Council on June 16, 2025.

On February 3, 2026, the City Council provided direction to staff on the format for the 2026 Workshop, which they directed to be the standard moving forward unless changes are recommended by staff or Council in the future. Consistent with past practice, the Workshop will provide the City Council with an opportunity to receive an update on the FY 2025-26 Work Plan items that have been or will be completed during the current fiscal year; reaffirm/finetune the previously approved FY 2026-27 Work Plan, including reviewing any new items proposed by staff and the City Council; and provide the Council with the opportunity to discuss any policy level concerns. Feedback from the Workshop will be used for the FY 2026-27 Budget Update planned for presentation to the City Council in June 2026.

City Financial Position
On March 3, 2026, the City Council received the FY 2024-25 Final Financial Report and FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Financial Report. The report reflected positive financial results for FY 2024- 25 and for FY 2025-26 year-end projections. The agenda report is available here:
https://www.delmar.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/11941/Item-12---FY25-Final-Report-andFY26-MY-Report City Council Agenda Report
2026 City Council Goals & Priorities Workshop
March 11, 2026

The FY 2024-25 Final Financial Report shows General Fund revenues came in $1.25 million (5.4%) higher than final budget projections, and General Fund expenditures came in approximately $91,000 (0.5%) lower than final budget projections. This resulted in a 34.8% General Fund Contingency (GFC) at June 30, 2025, which is approximately 4.7% higher than the 30.08% GFC projected in the FY 2024-25 Mid-Year Financial Report that was presented to the City Council on April 7, 2025.

The report also presented a positive year-end outlook for FY 2025-26. General Fund revenues are projected to come in $936,180 over budget while expenditures are projected to come in $23,000 underbudget. The City Council’s action to amend the FY 2025-26 Operating and Capital Budget also included approval to transfer an additional $425,000 to the Housing Reserve and $850,000 to the Capital Reserve. These approved adjustments result in a revised GFC estimated at 27.18%, or 99 days of operations, on June 30, 2026.

City Operations/Staffing Capacity
The City benefits greatly from a small team of dedicated and well-qualified employees who work diligently to provide the community with a high level of service through daily operations, while completing complex special and CIP projects to move Del Mar forward and timely achieve City Council goals.

A large majority of the City’s 66 full-time, regular staff spend 100% of their time on City operations. There are approximately 20 employees (30% of workforce) whose work in some capacity directly supports the Council-approved special and capital projects, and of those only the City’s Principal Engineers and Principal and Associate Long-Range Planners (7.5% of workforce) are primarily dedicated to special and/or CIP projects.

Staff capacity is closely aligned with the work items identified in Attachments A and B. Any substantive expansion of the current Work Plan may require either the re-prioritization or deferral of existing projects, or the addition of staffing resources.

To provide context on how the City spends the majority of its staff resources on day-to-day operations, Attachment D includes a summary of the operational duties and responsibilities for each department. All City departments have heavy operational responsibilities and provide critical services to the community. It is important to note that some operational items, such as administering elections or negotiating labor contracts and leases for use of public property, require significant staff time but are not included in the Goals & Priorities Work Plan because they are cyclical and non-discretionary.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

To facilitate the Workshop and help guide the City Council’s establishment of its Goals and Priorities for FY 2026-27, staff prepared the following resources:

1. Status update for the items on the current FY 2025-26 Work Plan that have or will be completed by the end of the fiscal year (Attachment A);

2. Identified Work Plan items for FY 2026-27, including new proposed items from staff (Attachment B);

3. City Council Identified Proposed Work Plan items (Attachment C); and City Council Agenda Report
2026 City Council Goals & Priorities Workshop
March 11, 2026

4. Overview/Summary of City operations by department (Attachment D).

List and Status Update for Current FY 2025-26 Work Plan Items Given the City is nearing the end of the current fiscal year, staff prepared a summary table (Attachment A) showing the FY 2025-26 Work Plan items that have or will be completed prior to June 30, 2026. Multi-year projects will be carried over to the proposed Work Plan for FY 2026-27. In total, staff completed, or are on track to complete, 30 significant work items by the end of the current fiscal year.

In addition to completed Work Plan items, staff made significant progress on a large number of multi-year, priority Work Plan items during FY 2025-26, notably the City’s Utility Undergrounding Program, Camino Del Mar Bridge design and environmental work, implementation of the City’s Housing Element and Short-Term Rental Ordinance, Shores Park Master Plan re-engagement, and several others.

Identified Work Plan Items FY 2026-27
Identified Work Plan items for FY 2026-27 are included as Attachment B, and are organized by the City’s established tiered priority system as follows:
 Tier 1 (essential/non-discretionary services);
 Tier 2 (important items that support City operations/values); and  Tier 3 (discretionary/non-essential work items that could be deferred or eliminated).

There are several Work Plan items that the City Council has prioritized in recent years that will continue to be a significant focus for the City in the coming years including implementation of the City’s Housing Element, ongoing coordination and work with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) on their multiple rail-related CIP projects in the City, undergrounding of power lines throughout the City, replacement of the Camino Del Mar Bridge, and increased pavement improvements citywide to name a few. These projects alone will require significant time and attention from staff and the City’s elected leaders.

Construction of the Camino del Mar Bridge Replacement project is anticipated to begin in early 2027, with bidding to occur in 2026. To assist to Council with understanding the current project timeline and costs, a Construction Delivery Schedule and funding update is included as Attachment E.

Annual roadway paving remains a Tier 1 Council priority with the City Council previously committing a minimum of $750,000 annually towards paving. Based on the City’s positive financial results and favorable construction market conditions an expanded pavement management program totaling $3,000,000 is being proposed by staff for City Council consideration. Paving project funding sources, targeted streets, and a related work map for the proposed updated Pavement Management Program are presented in Attachment F.

Additionally, a summary of the funding sources and discussion about timing for completion of the Riverpath Phase 3 project are presented in Attachment G.

While staff works diligently to identify all Work Plan items for City Council consideration during the goal setting and budget development process, new important projects arise throughout City Council Agenda Report

the year for various reasons such as City Council direction, legislative changes, or unforeseen challenges and/or emergencies. Accordingly, the FY 2026-27 City Work Plan includes the proposed new Work Plan items, which are denoted as “new” in the title.

Council Identified Potential Work Plan Items
As part of the annual Goal & Priorities Workshop, Councilmembers proposed new items for the City Council to consider adding to existing or future work plans, which are included as Attachment C.

Next Steps
Staff will use the feedback and direction provided by the City Council during the Workshop to solidify the City Council’s Goals and Priorities and update the FY 2026-27 Work Plan, which will be used to update the FY 2026-27 Operating and Capital Budget planned for presentation to the Council in June 2026. This information will also be used to evaluate the proposed FY 2026-27 City advisory committees’ annual work plans in preparation for the City Council’s consideration of the committee work plans for the coming fiscal year in the spring of 2026.

Camino del Mar Bridge Replacement – Construction Delivery Schedule Update During the City Council meeting on November 17, 2025, staff shared that the anticipated construction duration would be extending from an anticipated 36 months at the 10% design phase to 50 months at the 90% design phase, which was an increase of 14 months. The updated project timing was determined when the constructability review was completed and more details of the specific activities became available. However, for the purpose of an apples-to-apples comparison, non-construction administrative activities that occur prior to and after construction have been removed. Therefore, the difference in anticipated timing for construction activities is actually 6 months, not the 14 months previously reported. Details on the original assumptions and justifications for the extension is summarized herein.

The 36-month construction duration was estimated during the environmental documentation preparation period in 2022 based on available information at the time. The project was at 10% design, before resource agency permitting, utility coordination, or final design was initiated. The original estimate and the current anticipated construction duration are summarized in the table below.

Stage 5 - Final Improvements and Demobilization 2 1 -1 mos Totals 36 42 6 mos
In late 2025, the project’s anticipated construction duration was adjusted since the environmental review, resource agency permitting, final design, and independent constructability review were all completed. The revised schedule reflects more detailed activity durations for fully defined design components, permitting requirements, temporary utility relocating, staging, sequencing, and construction requirements that were not detailed in pre-design phase.

Key changes based on constructability review:
 Stage 2 - constructability review resulted in 8-month adjustment (longer) in east side bridge reconstruction due to detailed assessment of temporary trestle installation and Attachment E
utility staging/installations, including more recent input from SoCalGas and sewer forcemain active bypass, relocation, and reinstallation.  Stage 3 - constructability review resulted in 3-month adjustment (longer) in west side bridge construction due to detailed assessment of temporary trestle installation and utility staging/installations, including more recent input from SDG&E.

Anticipated Project Delivery Dates
The current overall project schedule of activities from bidding through project close out is summarized in the table below. Please note that the construction impacts to the public will occur between April 2027 and September 2030 (42 months).

Riverpath Phase 3
Estimated Project Cost
In September 18, 2023, the estimated project cost for the Riverpath Phase 3 project was $2,850,000, with an identified funding gap of $1,400,000. As such, the City Council put proceeding with construction of the project on hold and directed staff to pursue outside grant funding to help offset out of pocket project costs for the City. Since that time, the City has been able to secure additional project funding sources, which are identified in the table below.

In February 2026, contract engineering firm Michael Baker International (MBI) reviewed and updated the project Engineer’s Estimate based on recent bids for similar projects in the region.

The resulting new estimated project construction cost, including contingency, is $3,060,000.

Funding Sources
The City has secured funding from several sources as summarized in the table below:

Grant Funding Source Amount Terms
San Dieguito River Valley
Conservancy (SDRVC)
$725,000 Secured. Funding from
private donor is being held by
SDRVC
Fed FY23 Housing and Urban
Development (HUD)
Community Project Funding
$680,000 Agreement signed.

Funding requires construction
completion by August 31,
2031
Land and Water Conservation
Fund (LWCF)
$1,300,000 Funding requires 50% local
match
*Preliminarily awarded, Staff
actively processing postselection requirements.

TOTAL GRANT FUNDING $2,705,000
Estimated Funding Gap $100,000 - $355,000
(Depending on
bidding/use of project
contingency)
Based on estimated total
construction cost $3,060,000
Staff has been preliminarily awarded $1.3 million in pass-through federal funding through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). LWCF is a federal, state, and local partnership through the National Park Service. Staff is processing post-selection requirements, which includes completion of required documentation, additional federal resource agency permitting reviews, and confirmation of land use eligibility. Staff anticipates that the post-selection be completed before the end of 2026, which would facilitate project construction in 2027. If the City were to bid and Attachment G
award the project prior to being notified of LWCF’s satisfaction of post-selection requirements, the project would no longer be eligible for the $1.3 million in funding.

Project Timing/Schedule
Due to the location of the project in the sensitive habitat of San Dieguito Lagoon and the protection of sensitive migratory birds, several overlapping biological mitigation measures are included in the permitting for the project restricting certain construction activities between February and August. Staff recommends that the project is bid in April 2027 to award the construction contract with adequate time to start construction in September of 2027. Construction would be completed by January 2028, within the ideal construction window.
