NEW BUSINESS:

A. Review Draft FY 2025-26 Budget
City Manager Guertin: Introduces Roberto Moreno of RGS to review the numbers.

Roberto Moreno: Reviews page by page of the proposed operating budget and answers questions along the way through the document. This is a 5 million dollar budget and it’s something that the City has never experienced. It is a status quo budget. Explains PLL expense and decrease since it is every 10 years that it is paid. The PD budget no big changes, and points out that the Airport pays 50% of this amount.

City Manager Guertin: Very narrow revenue streams. Going into a possible recession and it can get out of hand quickly with priorities for additional projects. The previous council approved a list of projects that the City will make a priority. Possibly contract work assistance for Ron in the future. Development opportunities are very important. We are reviewing the operating budget tonight, and next month the entire budget including special projects will be reviewed.

Councilmember Shirley: Asks questions and makes statements regarding Mayors stipend amount, Planning Commission travel coming out of City Council budget, City Manager auto 10 Item 1.
allowance is incorrect and getting Ron help is important. To City Manager Guertin, asks if there are operational needs not being met?
City Manager Guertin: Nothing.

Roberto Moreno: Explained that the Mayors stipend has always higher than others by $150.00 a month. It is called a Promo Fund and included in the stipend part of the budget. Yes, the PC costs come out of CC part of budget. And for the final document, the auto allowance will be corrected, it was a typo.

Mayor Donaldson: Not a lot of cities have balanced budgets and the services that cititzens enjoy will continue. Refers to revenue sources: 1) Sales Tax 2) Property Tax and 3) T.O.T..

There are no wasteful expenditures and all should feel comfortable with this budget and keeping the reserve for emergencies. Solid conservative financial standing and thanks City Manager and staff for the hard work.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Alice Green: Why not plan ahead for the PLL insurance payment? City Manager Guertin: In 10 years, the developer will pay it.

Mike Obrien: Was the City of Monterey considered during the merger talks with Airport? City Manager Guertin: Sure it was about the cost.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: John Guertin, City Manager
BY: Roberto Moreno, RGS Strategic Services Consultant
DATE: May 20, 2025
SUBJECT: Retroactive Salary Schedule for Fiscal Year 2021-22 Discussion
CalPERS recently conducted a compensation review of former Police Chief Jeffrey Hoyne for the period of 10/01/2018 – 12/16/2022. Staff was able to provide all the requested information with one exception. Staff was not able to find a Council approved salary schedule that had his correct salary as reported to CalPERS.

On August 24, 2021 Council approved a new contract with a salary increase for Jeffrey Hoyne, former Chief of Police, as part of his performance review in closed session. It appears the Salary Schedule was not updated at that time. CalPERS recommends that the City approve a Retroactive Salary Schedule for Fiscal Year 2021-2202 to correct the Monthly pay rate to $14,333.33 and an Hourly Pay Rate of $82.69 to validate the pay rates for Jeffrey Hoyne.

Without the retroactive salary schedule, CalPERS will use the hourly rate of $80.29 which matches the provided Publicly Available Pay Schedule, until a Council approved publicly available pay schedule is provided. In other words, in order for former Chief Hoyne to receive retirement credit for his reported earnings, the Council needs to approve the attached Retroactive Salary Schedule for FY 2021-22. 43 Item 1.

Recommendation
Approve the retroactive salary resolution. The only difference between the retroactive salary resolution and the original salary resolution approved for FY 21-22 is the salary for the Chief of Police.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact from this approval. This action serves to satisfy the CalPERS requirement of having all paid wages in a Publicly Available Pay Schedule.

Attachments
Resolution approving retroactive salary schedule for FY 2021-22, effective 08/26/21.

Respectfully submitted,
John Guertin

47 Item 2.

DATE: May 20, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: John Guertin, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution approving a 2.69 percent rate increase to charges by the City's franchised hauler, GreenWaste Recovery, for the collection of solid waste, recycling and organics, effective July 1, 2025.

CEQA: This action does not constitute a “project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines section 15378 as it is an organizational activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

Recommendation
Adopt a Resolution approving a 2.69 percent rate increase to charges by the City's franchised hauler, GreenWaste Recovery, for the collection of solid waste, recycling and organics, effective July 1, 2025.

Background
On January 28, 2014, Council approved a Franchise Agreement (Agreement) with GreenWaste Recovery (GWR) for the collection of solid waste, recycling and organics, subsequent to a competitive Request for Proposals selection process. The Agreement became effective on July 1, 2015, and expires on June 30, 2030. The Agreement includes a prescribed formula to determine annual rate adjustments by GWR, effective each year on July 1. This index-based formula includes the cost of disposal and processing ("tipping fee") at the ReGen Monterey (formerly known as Monterey Regional Waste Management District) facility in Marina, inflationary indexes for adjustments to GWR labor and operating costs, regional implementation of SB 1383, and the City's Franchise Fee of 13%.

HF&H Consultants, LLC (HF&H) was retained by ReGen Monterey to review GWR's request for an adjustment to customer rates, effective July 1, 2025, attached. The rate review resulted in a 2.69% rate increase due to labor and material inflationary indices for the period reviewed.

Staff Report
48 Item 3.

Summary & Discussion
While the Agreement requires the City Council to approve annual rate adjustments, the rate adjustment is based upon disposal fees and actual tonnage, inflationary indexes for GWR labor and operational costs, and cost for the City's Franchise Fee and other regulatory fees.

City staff, in tandem with ReGen Monterey staff and HF&H, finds the rate calculation methodology to be consistent with the Agreement. Therefore, staff recommends Council approve the proposed Resolution and rate adjustment, which becomes effective on July 1, 2025, in accordance with the Agreement.

Fiscal Impacts
The new collection rates reflect an increase of 2.69% and are included as Exhibit A to the Resolution. The 2.69% rate increase is due to labor and material inflationary indices for the period reviewed. The cost of SB 1383 implementation is also included in the fees.

The City's Franchise Fee for FY 2025/2026 will be approximately $113,775.

ROAD SAFETY IN MONTEREY COUNTY:

WHERE TO REPORT A PROBLEM
Source: Photo of Fern Canyon Road, near Carmel Highlands, posted 2/13/25 on Monterey County Facebook page. The road was subsequently closed.

SUMMARY
From time to time, all drivers in Monterey County have observed safety and maintenance issues with the roads. Should they wish to report a potentially hazardous condition, it is not always obvious which entity they should notify to express their concerns. Roads in Monterey County are owned and maintained by different jurisdictions, most often with overlapping responsibilities. Processes for road improvement projects and traffic safety are lengthy, complicated, and not easily understood. The public is often confused about which entity to contact regarding traffic safety concerns or road maintenance, and even 1 65
Item 4.

how to submit customer service requests. Each entity uses a different interface for gathering data regarding traffic safety and maintenance concerns. Forms to request service can be found on most entities’ websites but replies to the citizens filing the complaints are inconsistently handled.

The 2024-25 Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) received a complaint from a citizen regarding a major injury accident where the motorist was attempting a legal crossing of the road centerline into a highly trafficked driveway. A vehicle traveling in the same direction failed to stop and hit the stationary car. This resulted in hospitalization and surgery for the complainant.

The CGJ examined the citizen inquiry and follow-up processes for these entities:
 Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC)
 California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
 Monterey County Public Works Division (MCPWD) within the Public Works, Facilities, and Parks Department (MCPWFP).

Researching options for addressing this complaint, the CGJ discovered the public is largely unaware of where and how to submit a request for road improvements and traffic safety concerns. In its findings, the jury identified inconsistent reporting options and a lack of updated traffic collision information. This report will include the following recommendations:
 Publish information regarding the role of TAMC, Caltrans, and MCPWD.  Update the collision map on TAMC’s website thereby improving the public's awareness of challenging conditions and dangerous intersections.  Inform the public about Monterey County uConnect, a mobile device app providing information on a wide variety of topics, including reporting road and traffic concerns in the unincorporated areas of the County.

These simple measures will better inform the community and provide citizens with a sense of partnership with entities in improving our roads and highways. 2 66
Item 4.

BACKGROUND
The Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) began to investigate road safety and maintenance in Monterey County after receiving a complaint regarding a left-turn lane on a State highway in Monterey County. There is no left-turn pocket at that location, just the road centerline that has been the scene of multiple accidents. The investigation revealed that road safety projects such as the construction of turn lanes, protective turn pockets, traffic signals, or roundabouts are lengthy and complex processes. These projects involve private property issues, engineering studies, environmental impact, cooperation between jurisdictions, sufficient funding in a time of scarce resources, public hearings, hiring of skilled contractors, and, finally, breaking ground and beginning construction.

Many factors go into prioritizing which projects are funded. These include data regarding collisions and incidents. This information is difficult for the public to locate and compile.

Other considerations include grant awards, state funding, and voter approval of measures to fund jurisdictional improvements.

The CGJ also found confusion regarding which entity is responsible for which roads within Monterey County and how best to contact the correct public organization (State or local) regarding a road safety or maintenance concern.

The following entities are responsible for traffic safety in Monterey County and collaborate closely with local municipalities to complete of traffic projects. Each entity will be examined in further detail in later sections of this report.

TAMC
TAMC, Monterey County’s regional transportation planning agency, is a State-designated agency responsible for financial and logistical planning of transportation projects. The mission of TAMC is to “develop and maintain a multimodal transportation system that 3 67
Item 4.

enhances mobility, safety access, environmental quality, and economic activities in Monterey County”. TAMC is not responsible for road repairs or physical road enhancements. (tamcmonterey.org, Feb. 16, 2025)
Caltrans
Caltrans is responsible for more than 50,000 miles of highways and freeways in California. It also provides inter-city rail services, airports, and hospital heliports, and collaborates closely with local agencies. According to the Caltrans website, “Caltrans carries out its mission with six primary programs: Aeronautics, Highway Transportation, Mass Transportation, Transportation Planning, Administration and the Equipment Service Center. Caltrans’ vision is to achieve a thriving and connected California.” (dot.ca.gov, Feb. 16, 2025)
Monterey County Public Works Division
The mission of MCPWD is to promote economic vitality and enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Monterey County by providing safe and efficient public roads, bridges, and public facilities. MCPWD is responsible for road repair and construction of physical road enhancements on County roads. (countyofmonterey.gov/government/departments-iz/public-works-facilities-parks/ public-works) TAMC, Caltrans, and MCPWD, including each city within the county of Monterey, is the focus of this report, which includes the following information:
 How to submit a concern or a complaint
 Where to find up-to-date information about projects
 How to access mobile apps available for the unincorporated areas of Monterey County and two other cities within the county

METHODOLOGY
The Civil Grand Jury investigated road safety and maintenance in Monterey County. The CGJ interviewed knowledgeable representatives of several different entities and departments responsible for the topics under investigation. In addition, the CGJ gathered and analyzed internal documentation provided by some representatives. Jurors made field visits to relevant locations of interest to gain firsthand insights.

Monterey County Public Works Division (MCPWD)
According to the Monterey County website, the Monterey County Public Works Division (MCPWD) provides services to ensure reasonable and safe road development, plan for future needs, manage infrastructure and County facilities, and protect natural resources.

Several divisions exist within MCPWD. The Public Works Division includes Divisions of Road and Bridge Engineering, Stormwater and Floodplain Management, Traffic Engineering, Road and Bridge Maintenance, and several other divisions. Members of the public who have a road traffic safety or maintenance concern regarding a road in the unincorporated areas of the County must call or email a request for service or call 911 in case of an emergency. MCPWD receives 3,000 to 4,000 customer service requests annually and logs them into a database.

Item 4.

Mobile Apps for Reporting Traffic Safety and Maintenance Concerns The CGJ identified three entities that utilize apps that can be downloaded to mobile devices: Cities of Soledad and Salinas as well as Monterey County. The Monterey County uConnect app may be used for reporting many different issues and has a wealth of other information in addition to reporting a concern.

Home page of Monterey County uConnect app
Source: Monterey County Public Works, Facilities, and Parks Department The home page of the app has a “Report Issue” button that opens a dropdown menu listing a range of issues related to road maintenance concerns in the unincorporated areas of the County including dead animals, debris removal, flooding, guardrail, illegal 9 73
Item 4.

parking, potholes, road repair, sign/signal/striping, streetlights, and tree/weed removal.

The app is an easy way for the public to report an issue while traveling in the unincorporated areas of the county. However, there is no reference to the Monterey County uConnect app on the MCPWD website. Further, it is not easy to find information about the Monterey County uConnect app on any of the County departments’ websites.

The Cities of Soledad and Salinas mobile apps function in a way similar to the Monterey County app for reporting road safety and maintenance issues.

Another app available for download to mobile devices is called SeeClickFix. The app, developed by an outside vendor, works with many municipalities throughout the U.S. to manage citizen reports regarding road safety and maintenance issues. The City of Seaside uses SeeClickFix as a mobile app and has incorporated it into its website. The CGJ is not aware of other vendors offering similar services. Many cities use the 311 referral system to report road safety issues. It functions similarly to the 211 system available in Monterey County for requesting information regarding social services.

California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
According to its website, Caltrans manages more than 50,000 miles of California's highway and freeway lanes, provides inter-city rail services, permits more than 400 publicuse airports and special-use hospital heliports, and works with local agencies. Caltrans carries out its mission with six primary programs: Aeronautics, Highway Transportation, Mass Transportation, Transportation Planning, Administration, and the Equipment Service Center. California is divided into 12 districts, Monterey County is in District 5 along with San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara Counties. A total of 888 Caltrans employees are assigned to District 5.

Caltrans has a comprehensive customer service request portal on its website that is monitored and tracked. During the three-year period from February 2022 to February 2025, a total of 1,063 Customer Service Requests were received regarding State 10 74
Item 4.

highways in Monterey County according to documentation provided by Caltrans. The CGJ found that requesting parties routinely receive feedback regarding their inquiries.

Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC)
TAMC is the state-designated regional transportation planning agency for Monterey County. It provides long-range planning and projections of future needs. TAMC’s mission is to develop and maintain a multimodal transportation system that enhances mobility, safety, access, environmental quality, and economic activities in Monterey County. TAMC achieves this by preparing extensive plan documents, with public input, and by applying for, receiving, and disbursing funds for transportation projects countywide. It does not “own” any roads in the county but works collaboratively with multiple jurisdictions who do own them.

Many factors go into prioritizing which projects are funded. Collision data is just one tool used to determine road safety improvement projects. Up-to-date information regarding collisions in Monterey County is difficult for the public to obtain because multiple agencies collect and analyze such data often in different ways. One such source is the Statewide Integrated Traffic Record System (SWITRS) that utilizes information gathered by the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Data are updated quarterly, most recently in December 2024, and is viewable on the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) published by UC Berkeley. One of the most comprehensive Collision Data Maps for Monterey County residents may be found on TAMC’s website, yet it has not been updated since 2018.

In 2023, it was announced that TAMC would receive $640,000 in federal funding to develop a Monterey County Vision Zero Plan, a comprehensive county-wide safety action plan developed in collaboration with partner agencies and other stakeholders to promote coordinated solutions to reduce fatalities and injuries due to traffic collisions in Monterey County. This funding could be used to update the Collision Data Map on TAMC’s website so that the public can find information regarding collisions in areas of interest. 11 75
Item 4.

According to officials at TAMC, its website receives few visits, and public participation at its meetings is sporadic. The Contact Us page invites the public to request meeting agendas, and the Public Outreach page invites the public to complete a survey asking questions about how people would prefer to be informed about TAMC’s activities. Only one response was received during the last two years. For the form to be more useful to both TAMC and the public, the survey could be expanded to include a section providing the opportunity to submit a concern about a road and/or traffic safety issue.

Public involvement is essential for the planning, safety, and maintenance of roads.

Monterey County residents and visitors benefit when it is easy for them to participate and report unsafe conditions.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
John Guertin, City Manager
Authorize the City Manager to Sign a 5-Year Fire Protection Agreement between the City of Del Rey Oaks and the City of Seaside This action does not constitute a "project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines section 15378 as it is an organizational activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physicalchanges in the environment.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign a new 5-year agreement with the City of Seaside for Fire Protection Services.

Background
The City has had an ongoing agreement with the City of Seaside to provide fire protection to our City. It is necessary to review and, if appropriate, extend the agreement as per the agreement.

The agreement being proposed is essentially the same agreement as in past years with the exception of increasing the term from three to five years. The annual fire protection contract amounts will be adjusted as per Section 4. Terms, subsection C. according to the City of Seaside Firefighters Association Memorandum of Understanding, with an amount not to exceed 4%.

The City of Del Rey Oaks is very satisfied with the customer service, responsiveness, and professionalism of the Seaside Fire Department and the services they have provided to our community. Therefore, it is staff’s recommendation that the City continued to work in partnership with the City of Seaside for these critical safety services.

Fiscal Impacts
The current fee for Fire Protection Services is $236,615. The annual increase on July 1, 2025, will be 83 Item 5.

DATE: May 20, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: John Guertin, City Manager
SUBJECT: First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Municipal Code Chapter 15.08 By Adding Section 15.08.10 Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

CEQA: This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(B)(3) of the CEQA guidelines.

Recommendation
Conduct a public hearing and first reading.

Summary & Discussion
The State of California, through the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), is responsible for classifying areas of the state into Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) based on scientific data and modeling of fire behavior, fuel loading, weather patterns, and topographic features. These classifications are part of a broader statewide effort to assess and reduce wildfire risk.

Pursuant to Government Code Sections 51175–51189, local jurisdictions are required to identify, adopt, and enforce Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) within Local Responsibility Areas (LRA). These designations are used to implement defensible space regulations, apply fire-resistant building standards (California Building Code Chapter 7A), and guide community wildfire mitigation strategies.

CAL FIRE recently completed an update to the FHSZ maps for LRAs, which includes the City of Del Rey Oaks. The updated map designates areas within the city as Moderate or High fire hazard zones. These updated designations reflect the latest data and modeling and will serve as the foundation for future fire prevention policies and enforcement.

Adoption of these newest maps for the LRA is required by Legislative Assembly Bill 211 (AB211).

The City has 120 days to adopt these map updates. The City received these maps on March 10, 2025 and posted them for 30 days for public review and comment. We received no comments in that time.

The updated regulations will apply to those areas located within the City boundaries. The City has no influence over downgrading hazard levels, we can only increase them if justified.

Staff Report
92 Item A.

Key Takeaways:
• FHSZ Classification: Properties are categorized as Moderate, High, or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones based on terrain, vegetation, fire history, and climate conditions. • Fire Hazard vs. Risk: The maps indicate hazard potential, not immediate risk, and do not account for mitigation efforts like defensible space or fire-resistant construction. • Impact on Property Owners:
• Homeowners in Very High FHSZ must comply with stringent defensible space and home hardening requirements.
• 100-foot defensible space clearance is mandatory around structures in the Very High FHSZ, in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zone, and as designated by city ordinance.
• New construction in the Very High FHSZ must adhere to WUI building codes. • Property sellers must disclose in the High and Very High FHSZ designations during real estate transactions.

The adoption of the updated FHSZ map is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the “common sense exemption.” The map adoption itself does not authorize or require any specific development activity, nor does it have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment.

Fiscal Impacts
There will be no direct financial impact as a result of this action.

Kim Shirley’s Council Report
for Tuesday, May 20, 2025
Friday, April 18th- ReGen Monterey Board Meeting- This month’s meeting began with approving resolutions for both of our previous attorneys who were retiring from ReGen.

Rob Wellington had been our attorney for 52 years and saw ReGen’s evolution from a mere dump to an advanced landfill facility. Bob Rathie had also stepped into the role these last few years to support ReGen and we were happy to show our gratitude to them both.

As is the time of year, we also discussed our preliminary budget for next fiscal year. We are looking at raising disposal costs by about 5% (more for municipal waste as compared to single stream recycling). This increase will allow us to prepare for waste contracts that will end in 11 years while also allowing us to work on projects that will help make us more resilient and less reliant on outside waste contracts. In terms of capital projects, the budget will allow for much needed work in the landfill gas to energy area as we complete the needed maintenance on engines and look towards better management of the system, which may include developing renewable natural gas.

Our next agenda item was scheduling a public hearing for the FY 2025-2026 rate increase for the May board meeting. The board approved moving forward with this hearing since we all realize the importance of moving towards greater independence from outside waste contracts while we work to improve our services.

Tuesday, April 22nd- City Council Meeting- Our meeting began with a public comment from Nikki Nedeff, a representative for the California Native Plant Society (CNPS). She was addressing the letter that was sent to DRO city manager and council members over 2 months ago which requested approval to allow CNPS to pull the invasive french broom from the habitat reserve. About this, I’ll say two things. First, I’m extremely disappointed that our city hasn’t felt the need to respond in a timely manner. Second, I would be so happy if the city could find some way to work together with CNPS to allow them to care for this important habitat. A good working relationship with CNPS will serve us all well.

Next, I was so grateful to have our DRO resident, Patrice Vecchione, share some poetry with us in honor of National Poetry month. She has spent years working in our schools to teach poetry to young people and she shared two beautiful poems that gave us insights into the worries and wonderings of two students in these troubling times. Her message was clear that we not only need to bring awareness for what’s happening nationally but it’s just as important to bring that same message of transparency and thoughtful engagement to our local government. Thank you, Patrice, for sharing your thoughts and the thoughts of your students.
1 103
Item A.

The only other item of substance on our agenda was a review of our draft operational budget, which is essentially status quo in comparison to last year’s budget. No big changes, same services, and a balanced budget which I’m happy about. Not much discussion on this issue since it was pretty straightforward and provided nothing new. I do wish our Mayor and City Manager would have taken this opportunity with such a light agenda, to bring about a larger discussion regarding projects with our reserve funds. I realize this conversation will come later in the finance committee, but I do think it was a missed opportunity to start initiating the discussions with both the council and the public.

City manager Guertin lastly shared that TAMC (Transportation Agency of Monterey County) will be holding a town hall next month (May 29th) to talk about “Vision Zero” which is their initiative to lower traffic accidents. I look forward to hearing more! Mr. Guertin also shared that the “Acorn” will be delivered digitally at the end of this month (Did you get it?).

Saturday, April 26th- DRO Earth Day and Ice Cream Social Event- Even though the weather was sometimes on the chilly side, it was great to see so many people coming out to the park for our event. Thanks to the Citizens Action Group (CAG) and our city hall staff for organizing. I was able to table for ReGen Monterey and talk about what goes where in terms of recycling, trash, organic waste, and household hazardous waste. I loved that both adults and kids played the sorting game and walked away knowing a bit more than when they started. As usual, I brought my vermicomposting worms for everyone to explore and learn more about how they can also break down our food scraps and provide nutrient rich castings for the garden.

Tuesday, April 29th- Zoom meeting with Blue Zone Project Monterey County regarding Tobacco Control Policies- As the Blue Zone Project works on official Blue Zone certification for peninsula cities and the county, Kendra Howell Senior Policy Lead for the Blue Zone Project Monterey County organized a meeting between myself, Gonzalo Coronado from Monterey County Health Department’s Tobacco Control program, and Jaclyn Cheves Director of Policy and Partnerships for Blue Zones. We spent an hour talking about how Gonzalo, myself, and Council Member Hallock brought the Tobacco Retail Licence and No Smoking in Public Spaces ordinances to our city and got them unanimously passed last year. The fact that we were also able to include no smoking in multiunit housing was also a tremendous accomplishment. They were interested to hear how we got it done, what were the things that helped and hindered the process, and what we need moving forward. I appreciated the time to review the process and share our successes. I also realize that it doesn’t end with these ordinances. It still takes lots of education outreach to let people know what the rules are and to also provide them support if they need it. Two programs that were brought up were “Kick It California” and “Breathe California” which upon a quick review look like they have excellent resources and information to help people both quit and become educated on these topics. In terms of Del Rey Oaks, I think we could easily put some of this great information in our next edition of 2 104

the Acorn and I will be advocating for no-smoking signs with our park and along our FORTAG trail.

Saturday, May 3rd- DRO Kids Chess Club- I was honored to help celebrate Coach Mike O’Brien’s one year anniversary of his kids chess club! Over a year ago, DRO resident Mike O’Brien decided to take his expertise and give back to the community by forming a chess club for kids. And wow has it taken off! One year later he has 36 kids signed up with an average of about 20-25 kids showing up to play. The kids are all ages (elementary through middle school), coming not only from Del Rey Oaks, but from the entire peninsula. Many thanks goes to Coach Mike and the City for creating this free opportunity for kids to spend time learning a game that not only supports their intellectual minds but also helps them to practice their social skills in collaboration, communication, and interacting with different kids. During the celebration, each participant received a certificate (thank you, Laura!), along with pizza and cake! It’s clear that those kids and parents greatly appreciate the time and effort that Coach Mike puts into the group and it was wonderful to see that celebrated! Wednesday, May 7th- ReGen Finance Meeting- During this month’s meeting, we were given another look at the more finalized budget for 2025-2026. We’ve recently learned that a couple of our regional contracts may unexpectedly end during this next year, so I’m happy that we approved the rate increase for this year. We may be pleasantly surprised once we finalize and review the contracts, but I’m happy that staff is moving in a more conservative direction while also focusing on getting the most needed projects completed.

Speaking of regional contracts, we recommended that staff work to either amend or create a new contract with Waste Connections out of San Benito. They may be going to the voters to ask for an expansion of their landfill, but in the meantime, they’ll need a place to take their municipal waste. These regional contracts don’t generally pay our standard gate rate, so we’ll see how this current rate changes with the new negotiation.

We also received an update on the franchise collection planning. Our waste hauler contract will end in 5 years and the Technical Advisory Committee subcommittee on this topic is working on preparing for that looming date. One of the items is to put out a request for proposals (RFP) for a consulting firm that can help us with this process, which they did last month. That subcommittee will be evaluating and choosing a proposal this month, which should come before the full ReGen board later in May.

Lastly, we quickly talked about the lack of additional feedback on the Guiding Principles for Acceptance of Regional Waste. Staff will send out a reminder for additional feedback and bring it back to the board.

Monday, May 12th- Monterey Salinas Transit Administrative Performance Committee- To begin, our General Manager, Carl Sedoryk talked about the abrupt stagnation in our ridership beginning in February. Since we implemented the Better Bus 3 105
Item A.

Network, our ridership has been climbing each month by double digits. During March, we saw ridership only increase by 1.3% when compared to last year’s numbers. The biggest decrease has been in Salinas, so further analysis needs to be done to find out what’s causing the drop. It was suggested that fear of encountering ICE has possibly caused fewer people to go out, causing a decrease in ridership.

We also received the state and federal updates from our representatives. AB 761 sponsored by Assembly Member Addis is moving along in the process of approval. This bill will allow MST to renew our Measure Q tax with an increase of ⅛ cent. That increase puts us over what's allowed for sales tax, and this bill, if we were to decide to go for the higher amount, would allow us to do that. We’re also watching to make sure that the Cap and Trade funding is reauthorized since transit receives 15% of that revenue. It was mentioned that there may be a deficit in next year’s State budget. The amount is unknown (anywhere from $10-40 billion). The delayed LA County taxes due to the fires, tariffs, and the stock market are all influences on the final outcome.

The Federal update was essentially that they’re way behind in their budget planning, after the President submitted a “skinny” budget (few details, which includes a 25% reduction in non-defense spending). This process will stretch out through the end of this year.

We also got a peek into the MST budget assumptions for FY 25-26. Thankfully our reserve will continue to increase to almost 100% of our budget. We may need to dip into that reserve if we can’t get the grants we need for capital projects. MST bus fares will not be increasing. We did talk about the possibility of tariffs on our new electric buses which could potentially be $50,000/bus (we’ve ordered 13 of them). We’ll see what happens since things are changing daily.

Lastly, we received an update on the College Ecosmart Pass Program. This program provides a “floor” and a “ceiling” for the three local colleges (CSUMB, Hartnell, and MPC) so they can budget for all of their students to easily ride the bus. MPC was dragging their feet a bit in renewing this program, so I tried to help by advocating to our Board Trustees and one of our administrators. I was grateful to find out this morning that MPC will indeed continue the program, which made me so happy because I know that’s what is best for our students.

Monday, May 12th- Monterey-Salinas Transit Board Meeting- Please see the MST board highlights in our agenda packet. One additional note: At the end of the meeting, we got to go for a ride on a double decker bus! We have a few routes that, at times, leave riders stranded because the bus fills and riders are not allowed to stand. Using a double decker bus would allow us to carry twice the amount of people and still only use one driver and not take up any more parking spaces at bus stops. The price for each electric bus is $2 million (one level electric bus is $1.3 million) and the build time is 2 years. We don’t have money set aside for this yet, but it was fun to ride! MST will be driving it around to 4 106

test it on the roadways to make sure it can indeed get to all the places it needs to go. So far, it sounds like all of the roadways were good and the biggest issue was low hanging trees along the streets. I think this could work. It happened to be a beautiful day and riding on that top level was pretty spectacular. I could see tourists and locals riding this just for the views!

Council Report from Councilmember John Uy
May 20, 2025 Meeting
I. Council Report: Regular Meeting of the DRO City Council on April 22, 2025 I wish to extend my sincerest apologies for not being present at our regular council meeting on April 22, 2025. That evening, I had to drive my father to an important medical appointment in San Francisco—an obligation rooted in love and family
responsibility that I simply could not forgo. I trust my absence is understood in the context of the deep commitment we all share, not only to our civic duties but also to the well-being of our families, which ground and inspire our service.

Though I could not be with you in person, I did view the full meeting recording and read through the entire agenda packet. I was especially focused on reviewing the Draft Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget, the most significant agenda item of the evening.

First and foremost, I want to express my appreciation to City Manager Guertin and the Finance team for their diligence in preparing a budget that reflects both prudence and purpose. The proposed budget demonstrates careful stewardship of public resources while prioritizing the essential services that sustain the quality of life in Del Rey Oaks. With revenue and expenditure levels closely aligned and a positive year-to-date surplus supported by one-time ARPA transfers, the fiscal trajectory appears stable, even as we remain mindful of broader economic uncertainties.

The draft reflects an ongoing commitment to conservative budgeting, necessary maintenance investments (like Rosita Road repairs), and crucial public safety funding. I am especially pleased to see that while expenditures are at 72.7% and revenues at 74.3% of the budget threequarters through the fiscal year, we are continuing to operate with balance and foresight.

That said, I echo Councilmember Shirley’s sentiments about the importance of enhancing a more collaborative, strategic approach to budgeting. I wholeheartedly support the idea of convening planning sessions to identify our shared long-term priorities, especially around infrastructure, sustainability, public safety, and community development. These conversations will empower us to make the budget not only a reflection of current realities but a roadmap for a future that is vibrant, inclusive, and resilient.

Our residents deserve not just transparency, but inspiration and imagination in how we allocate resources. As a city of just over 1,600 people, we have the unique opportunity to be nimble, responsive, and visionary. Let’s continue to find ways to engage our community in that vision. 108

Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 2
Again, thank you for your understanding of my absence and your continued dedication to our city. It is my honor to serve our Del Rey Oaks community alongside each one of you.

II. Council Report: Participation in DRO’s Earth Day Celebration – April 26, 2025 It was my honor and heartfelt joy to participate in this year’s Earth Day Celebration on April 26, 2025, right here in Del Rey Oaks—an event so thoughtfully organized by the City of Del Rey Oaks and the Citizens’ Action Group and supported by the incredible spirit of our community. I extend my deepest thanks to the organizers and volunteers whose passion, time, and effort made the day not only possible but truly meaningful.

As a Councilmember, I believe our role goes beyond policy and planning. We are also called to inspire awareness, model sustainability, and bring people together. That’s why I chose to contribute in a light-hearted yet purposeful way by bringing bubbles and bubble machines to the celebration. From little ones to grown-ups, the reaction was priceless—smiles, laughter, wonder, and joy floated through the air like the bubbles themselves.

But there was also a message I hoped to share with our community: Choose bubbles over balloons.

While balloons are often associated with celebration, they can pose serious environmental threats. Many eventually make their way to the ocean, where they are mistaken for food by marine animals. Tragically, ingestion of balloon debris leads to injury and death for sea turtles, birds, and other marine life. A small choice, like opting for bubbles instead, can have a significant ripple effect in protecting our ecosystem.

The beauty of this message is that it demonstrates how fun and environmental responsibility are not mutually exclusive. We can celebrate in ways that delight our children and our planet at the same time. Bubbles offer all the magic of wonder and none of the waste, and they serve as 109
Item A.

Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 3
a perfect symbol of what Earth Day is all about—making choices that preserve beauty, spark joy, and protect life.

I left the celebration feeling grateful, hopeful, and inspired. It reminded me that advocacy can be playful, education can be engaging, and each of us, no matter our role, can be part of the solution.

To everyone who stopped by, smiled, blew bubbles, or shared in a conversation about sustainability: thank you. And to the Citizens’ Action Group: your work continues to nurture a greener, kinder, and more connected Del Rey Oaks. I’m so proud to be part of this community and so thankful for the opportunity to serve it on Earth Day and every day. 110

III. Council Report: Heartfelt Message of Councilmember Uy on Cinco de Mayo – May 5, 2025 ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
Today, we celebrate the vibrant spirit, rich culture, and resilient history of the Mexican people.

Cinco de Mayo is more than a commemoration of victory at the Battle of Puebla. It is a tribute to courage in the face of adversity, to unity in times of challenge, and to the enduring contributions of the Mexican-American community to our shared story here in Del Rey Oaks and across the nation.

As we gather with family, friends, and neighbors, whether through music, dancing, delicious food, or simply enjoying one another’s company, may we also take a moment to honor the deeper meaning of this day: the power of perseverance, the beauty of cultural pride, and the strength that comes from community.

In Del Rey Oaks, we are blessed to live in a place where diversity is not just present but it is embraced, celebrated, and cherished. Cinco de Mayo reminds us of the value of inclusivity, of learning from one another, and of building a future that is enriched by the many cultures that call our city home.

To all who are celebrating today: may your hearts be full, your spirits lifted, and your tables surrounded by laughter and love. Thank you for being part of what makes our city so special. 111

IV. Council Report: Heartfelt Message of Councilmember Uy on Mother’s Day – May 11, 2025 Dear Friends, Family, and Neighbors,
Today, we celebrate the heart of every home—the mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, guardians, and all those who have embraced the role of nurturer with courage, grace, and unconditional love.

As your Councilman, and as
someone deeply moved by
the quiet strength of
everyday heroes, I want to
honor the incredible women
in our community who give
so much of themselves, often
without recognition or rest.

You shape lives, build
character, and carry hope in
ways that ripple far beyond
your homes. Your love is the
quiet force behind every
strong child, every resilient
family, and every thriving
neighborhood.

To the mothers who wake
early, stay up late, carry the
unseen burdens, and still
manage to share their light—
you are nothing short of
extraordinary. Your stories,
sacrifices, and strength
inspire us to be better
leaders, better neighbors,
and better human beings.

Today, we see you. We thank
you. And we celebrate you!
From my heart to yours, Happy Mother’s Day!
With heartfelt gratitude and admiration,
Councilman John Uy

V. Council Report: Regular Meeting of the Seaside County Sanitation District (SCSD) Board of Directors – May 13, 2025
I wish to share an update regarding the May 13, 2025 meeting of the Seaside County Sanitation District (SCSD), where I proudly serve as Chair representing the City of Del Rey Oaks.

Unfortunately, neither I nor my alternate was able to attend the board meeting that morning. I had arranged for my
alternate representative in advance since I have to be out of town for a work conference, but prior to the meeting, he, too, was unable to attend due to important responsibilities. I sincerely apologize for our absence and any inconvenience it may have caused to the board, staff, or the public. Please know that this was not a decision made lightly, and I am truly grateful for everyone’s understanding.

Even in my absence, I remain fully committed to the important work of the SCSD and to ensuring that Del Rey Oaks continues to be well-represented in regional decisions about sanitation infrastructure, service operations, and environmental responsibility. I have reviewed the agenda, staff reports, and will continue to stay informed on board discussions and actions taken at the meeting. I appreciate the leadership of our Vice Chairs, fellow board members, and dedicated staff who kept the meeting running smoothly.

Our shared goals of maintaining efficient, safe, and sustainable sanitation services are always at the forefront of my mind, and I look forward to rejoining the board in our next regular meeting to continue this essential work.

VI. Council Report: AMBAG Board of Directors Meeting – May 14, 2025 I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to
Councilmember Kim Shirley for graciously
attending the Association of Monterey Bay Area
Governments (AMBAG) Board Meeting on May 14,
2025, on my behalf.

As many of you know, I was away the entire week
attending a professional work conference out of
town—an opportunity to continue growing in
service and leadership. Knowing that our city
would still be well-represented at the regional level gave me great peace of mind, and for that, I am deeply thankful to Councilmember Shirley.

Her willingness to step in reflects the collaborative spirit that defines our council and our community. We each wear many hats, and when one of us is called elsewhere, it's reassuring to know that we support one another in ensuring Del Rey Oaks remains present and engaged in the important conversations shaping the future of our region.

Thank you again, Councilmember Shirley, for your dedication, presence, and partnership. I look forward to returning and continuing the work we all care so deeply about.

VI. Council Report: Invitation to the 2025 DRO Pride Flag Raising It is with great joy, pride, and heartfelt hope that I warmly invite you all to join us for the Del Rey Oaks Pride Flag Raising Ceremony on Sunday, June 1, 2025 at 12:00 PM at Del Rey Oaks City Hall.

As we raise the rainbow flag together, we are doing more than hoisting fabric into the sky. We are lifting up a message of love, inclusion, visibility, and unity. This flag represents our shared values: that everyone deserves to live authentically, to be seen and celebrated, and to feel safe and welcomed in the place they call home.

This annual tradition is a beautiful reminder that even in our small but mighty city, we stand firmly with our LGBTQ+ neighbors, family members, friends, and community leaders—not just during Pride Month, but always. This event is for everyone, whether you're a member of the LGBTQ+ community or a proud ally.

Let us come together in kindness, color, and community to celebrate love in all its forms and affirm that Del Rey Oaks is a place where all people belong.

I look forward to standing beside you on this special day. 114
