OLD BUSINESS:
None
NEW BUSINESS:
A. Consideration of a Letter of Support for State Water Resources Control Board Modification of Cease-and-Desist Order WR 2016-0016 City Manager Guertin explains there are 3 versions to hear about tonight.
A Neutral Letter of Support — Supports the CDO modification based primarily on the increase in supply from Pure Water Monterey and its expansion.
A Letter Supporting CDO Modification + Desalination — Includes all elements of the neutral letter but additionally expresses support for the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project desalination facility as a long-term water supply solution.
A letter similar to the Letter of Support sent from the Mayor's Association of Monterey.
City Manager Guertin introduces Mike McCullough of Monterey One Water:
Mr. McCullough reviewed the different letters and the Cease-and-Desist Order and reviewed the following points:
*9 letters so far from other jurisdictions
*Communities have been struggling for over 30 years.
*Healthy Real Estate Market
*Monterey One Water passed their own resolution and is asking for our support. *The last 4 years have proved to make a good track record. *Still must stay within limits.
Councilmember Shirley: Favors the neutral letter with some minor edits. Reviews them.
Councilmember Burger: Read somewhere that we are using the same amount of water as in the Eisenhower era, found it interesting.
Councilmember Uy: Can a resident send a letter?
Mike McCullough: Yes, they read the letters. Has the template, if needed. The board was impressed by a project that solves a problem.
Councilmember Hallock: Fully supports the Mayor's version of the letter.
Councilmember Shirley: Would like to make some minor changes to the Neutral Letter of Support: Change the word stakeholders to community, she wants to keep in the RENA numbers section because it’s part of a larger, regional issue.
Councilmember Uy: In favor of a neutral Letter of Support with modification. Make the paragraph about RENA numbers applicable to Del Rey Oaks, use the phrase “working on RENA numbers”.
Councilmember Hallock: Agrees with the modifications, either the neutral letter or the mayors letter is suitable to send.
Councilmember Burger: Fine with either, too.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
None

Recommends that the City prioritize allocation of available water to the following not in any priority order:
-Construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior ADUs (JADUs); -Economic development projects, including small commercial uses; -Municipal facilities and public services; and
-Residential remodels and expansions that enhance existing housing stock Councilmember Shirley: Appreciates the work that was put into this policy, likes the tracking and reporting.
Councilmember Burger: Does Ord 98 go away in lieu of additional water? Thanks the Planning Commission for their recommendation.
City Manager Guertin: No
Councilmember Uy: Likes the strategic tools for housing and public services. Equity in water allocation in the coming years is important.
Councilmember Hallock: Thanks City Manager Guertin, and agrees with other City Council members. Appreciates discretionary recommendation. Thanks the Planning Commission.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
John Guertin, City Manager
Approval of Agreement with James DeChalk for Janitorial Services Not applicable.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Agreement with Mr. James DeChalk for janitorial services, in an amount not to exceed $17,000 annually, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.
Background
Mr. James DeChalk has been providing janitorial services to the City of Del Rey Oaks for over 30 years, consistently delivering high-quality cleaning and maintenance of City Hall and its offices. His longstanding familiarity with City facilities, reliability, and responsiveness have made his services an essential component of City operations.
As part of the City’s ongoing effort to maintain clean, safe, and welcoming public facilities, staff evaluated options for expanding janitorial coverage to include the restrooms at the City’s park, which receive increasing daily use and require regular attention.
Discussion
The attached Agreement formalizes continued janitorial services by Mr. DeChalk and expands the scope of work to include weekly cleaning of park restrooms in addition to the existing weekly deepcleaning of City Hall and all associated offices and restrooms.
The expanded scope will help ensure that both civic facilities and public recreational areas are maintained at appropriate standards for residents, staff, and visitors. Mr. DeChalk has agreed to provide these additional services within the total annual compensation limit identified in the Agreement.
Given his long history of service to the City, his knowledge of City facilities, and his ability to incorporate the expanded cleaning needs, staff believes that continued engagement with Mr.
DeChalk is both practical and cost-effective.
48 Item 2.
Fiscal Impacts
The Agreement sets a cost not to exceed $17,000 annually. Funding for these services is included in the current fiscal year operating budget.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
John Guertin, City Manager
Approve a Consulting Services Agreement with Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) for Technical and Advisory Support Related to Fort Ord Reuse and Public Asset Management
Not applicable.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Consulting Services Agreement with Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) in an amount not to exceed $75,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and any minor amendments.
Background
The City of Del Rey Oaks continues to advance efforts related to the reuse and redevelopment of its former Fort Ord properties and other public assets. These properties present significant long-term economic development opportunities but also require specialized technical analysis, fiscal evaluation, and development advisory expertise. In recent months, the complexity of evaluating developer interest, preparing for an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA), and aligning land use planning with long-term fiscal sustainability needs has increased substantially.
To support the City in these efforts, EPS has been providing urban economics and economic development advisory services. Their work to date has included analysis of redevelopment potential, fiscal projections, and strategic support in discussions with interested entities.
Given the scale, complexity, and long-term significance of decisions affecting the former Fort Ord properties, continued professional support is essential.
Discussion
The proposed contract with EPS will provide the City with critical technical assistance in establishing, managing, and executing a structured process for identifying, evaluating, and working with potential Master Developers for the City’s former Fort Ord holdings. The ability to effectively vet development proposals, model fiscal outcomes, and prepare the City for formal negotiations requires specialized expertise not available in-house.
The EPS Scope of Work (Attachment A of the Agreement) includes three key task areas:
103
Item B.
1. Fort Ord Disposition Advisory Services (Budget: $40,000) EPS will assist the City with all necessary preparatory steps leading to the selection of a Master Developer, including:
• Preliminary discussions with potential developer entities at the City Manager’s direction • Updated analysis of site development potential and fiscal impacts • Review of legal, engineering, policy, and community development considerations • Other economic analysis needed prior to entering into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA)
These services are essential to ensuring the City moves forward with a well-supported, defensible, and strategic process for selecting a development partner.
2. Support for Non–Fort Ord Public Assets (Budget: $5,000) EPS will provide negotiation support and technical evaluation for other City-owned properties, as directed by the City Manager.
3. Citywide Economic and Development Strategic Considerations (Budget: $30,000) EPS will assist the City in broader economic and planning analysis, including:
• Fiscal sustainability analysis of alternative land use scenarios • Coordination with adjoining landowners on Fort Ord
• Infrastructure expansion and maintenance funding strategies • Updates to the City’s public asset report
Given the magnitude of land use, financial, and policy implications associated with redevelopment of the former Fort Ord properties, professional technical services are not only beneficial they are necessary. EPS brings expertise in urban economics, fiscal modeling, and public asset management, as well as extensive knowledge of regional conditions within Monterey County.
These services will support the City in:
• Establishing a transparent and competitive process for working with prospective developers • Conducting sophisticated analysis of development feasibility and fiscal impacts • Ensuring that City decisions maximize long-term financial and community benefits • Protecting the City’s interests during early negotiations and evaluation stages Without this support, staff capacity would be insufficient to manage the level of analysis and interagency coordination required.
Fiscal Impacts
The contract is structured as time-and-materials not to exceed $75,000, allocated as follows:
• Task 1: $40,000
• Task 2: $5,000
• Task 3: $30,000
It is recommended that funding for this agreement come from fund balance in the General Fund.

Information Item: Conclusion of Lease Renewal Discussions with Hana Gardens and Findings from City Due Diligence
Not applicable.
Summary
This report provides an update on the status of lease renewal negotiations with Hana Gardens and outlines significant issues identified during the City’s due diligence review of the existing lease, which is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2025.
Background
Over the past several months, the City engaged in discussions with Hana Gardens regarding a possible extension of the current lease. As part of this process, the City initiated due diligence activities to evaluate conditions at the property and assess compliance with existing lease requirements.
Discussion
During its review, the City became aware of significant and material breaches of the lease and Conditional Use Permit by the lessee. Some of the breaches include:
• During a site visit, the City discovered that the lessee, without permission from the City and without providing any notice, had physically cut and capped the CalAm water supply line that services the building.
• Further investigation revealed that the lessee had instead plumbed water from the City-owned irrigation well to supply water to the building. Lessee is/was aware that water produced from this well is non-potable and not approved for human consumption. • Additionally, the lessee failed to post the required non-potable water notice in the restrooms, as mandated by the County of Monterey Environmental Health Department. • As a result, employees and members of the public were placed at risk, as non-potable water was being used to serve the restrooms. The City is not aware that anyone got sick because of drinking the non-potable water.
115
Item C.
These actions constitute material breaches of the lease. Under the terms of the lease, the City has the right to immediately terminate the agreement and require the lessee to vacate the premises at once.
Given that the lease term ends in less than 30 days, the City has decided to refrain from exercising this immediate-termination right. However, the seriousness of the violations necessitates clear action regarding the future of the tenancy.
Conclusion of Negotiations:
The City and Hana Gardens were unable to reach consensus on acceptable terms for a renewed lease. In light of both the inability to agree on terms and the material breaches identified, the City Council has determined not to renew the lease. On December 2, 2025, Hana Gardens received the Notice of Lease Nonrenewal & Vacation of Premises.
The existing lease will expire on December 31, 2025, and the tenant has been informed to vacate the premises by that date. Staff will coordinate with the tenant to ensure an orderly and compliant moveout.
Next Steps:
• Monitor and verify the tenant’s move-out process and ensure compliance with lease requirements.
• Evaluate conditions on the premises following vacancy. • Return to the Council at a future meeting with options and recommendations regarding the property’s disposition or potential re-use.
Attachments
• Notice of Lease Nonrenewal & Vacation of Premises
Respectfully submitted,
John Guertin

Re: Notice of Lease Nonrenewal & Vacation of Premises
Our File: 34837.33652
Dear Mr. Mori,
This letter is to inform you that the City of Del Rey Oaks (“City”) will not be renewing your lease of the property and buildings at the Del Rey Garden Center (“Premises”) at the end of its current term due to your significant and material breaches of your lease with the City. You are to vacate the premises by the end of the lease term, December 31, 2025.
A. MATERIAL BREACHES OF THE LEASE
Further to the City’s recent discussions with you regarding extending your lease for the Premises (“Lease”), the City visited the Premises and became aware that you had - without permission from the City or notice to the City - physically cut and capped the CalAm water supply line servicing the Premises (see Attachment “A”). Upon further investigations, the City discovered that you had plumbed water from the City-owned irrigation well on the Premises to instead supply water to the Premises (see Attachment “B”). As you are well aware, water produced from the City-owned well is not potable.
As a result of these actions, you endangered the health and safety of your employees and the public by having non-potable water serve the bathrooms on the Premises. Attachment “C” shows a CalAm employee testing sink water and confirming non-potable water was supplied to restrooms. Moreover, you failed to post notice of non-potable water in the restrooms, as required by the County of Monterey Environmental Health Department.
Accordingly, you are in material violation of the following provisions of the Lease:
• Section 3, which prohibits using the Premises in a manner that causes a nuisance, and requires your use of the Premises to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations.
• Section 6, which limits the allowable use of the well water to only irrigation and property maintenance, and requires you to comply with local, state, and federal law for well operation. 117
Item C.
Mitsugu Mori
December 2, 2025
4927-9529-9196, v. 2
• Section 7(A), which prohibits alterations to the Premises without the express written consent of the City, and requires full compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations (including the proper issuance of permits).
• Section 8(A), which requires the Premises be maintained in good repair. • Section 8(E), which requires you to immediately report to the City, in writing, anytime something occurs that may reasonably be estimated to cause more than $10,000 worth of property damage or cause any serious injury to person or to the Premises.
• Section 9, which requires your use of the Premises to comply with all local, state, and federal laws. • Section 15, which requires the business conduct its use of the property so as not to create a nuisance, and requires compliance with local, state, and federal law. Importantly, this section requires the Premises to be maintained in a sanitary manner.
B. NOTICE TO VACATE AT END OF LEASE TERM
Pursuant to the Lease terms, the City has the right to immediately terminate the Lease and demand you vacate the Premises at once. However, given the Lease term ends in less than 40 days, the City will refrain from exercising this right. The City will NOT be renewing the Lease, and with this letter terminates all negotiations regarding its renewal or extension.
Please ensure you fully vacate the Premises by December 31, 2025. The City expects the Premises to be returned in the same condition as it was leased to you. Specifically, this means that the unpermitted truck scale must be removed, all unpermitted improvements and items (i.e., fences, storage buildings, storage bins, etc.) be removed, all hardscape removed, and all property of the business removed from the Premises.
Also, consistent with the terms of the Encroachment Permit for the Premises expiring on December 31, 2025, the haul road must also be removed. In short, as provided for in the Lease, the City expects you to return the property to the original footprint of the leased area and in a neat and clean condition. Failure to return the property in the same condition you received it in will result in the City removing the offending property modifications and billing you for said removal. Note that the City will allow the existing pavers to remain on the Premises.
Please contact me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
FENTON & KELLER

Transportation Agency for Monterey County
(TAMC)
December 3, 2025
Highway 1 Elkhorn Slough Corridor Climate Resiliency Project The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), working collaboratively with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (ESNERR), will evaluate the risk of sea level rise impacting a key transportation corridor in north Monterey County and develop multimodal and nature-based transportation adaptation solutions to address this vulnerability.
The project is funded with $2,250,000 from a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Climate Adaptation Grant program grant to prepare a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study and related documents, expanding on existing feasibility studies on nature-based and multimodal solutions to climate change impacts on the corridor.
This project focuses on an eight-mile stretch of Highway 1 through the disadvantaged community of Moss Landing and the parallel five miles of rail tracks traversing Elkhorn Slough. Providing multimodal options and integrating nature-based solutions are top priorities for this project. The corridor traverses Elkhorn Slough, a major estuary located in Monterey Bay, California, which provides valuable habitat area for hundreds of aquatic birds, fish, marine mammals, and invertebrate species.
Tidal estuarine habitats within the Slough, and the ecosystem services they provide, are at risk of substantial degradation and losses from sea level rise. Coastal Resilience Monterey predicts sea level rise to be 5.2 feet by 2100. The rail tracks through Elkhorn Slough, owned by Union Pacific railroad, carries freight rail traffic and Amtrak Coast Starlight passengers.
The Central Coast Highway 1 Climate Resiliency study examined the climate impacts on the rail corridor and recommended an elevated trestle through the slough. This, along with 122
Item A.
other alternatives, will be considered during the Planning and Environmental Linkages Study (PEL Study) process.
A key component of the PEL study is to gather input and build consensus among internal and external stakeholders to shape the proposed corridor transportation vision. This is a comprehensive approach that involves resource and regulatory agencies, tribes, local stakeholders and engaging the public on an ongoing basis in meetings, workshops and public hearings and notices. Staff will seek feedback and input from stakeholders as key milestones of the project are reached.
After receiving the presentation, the TAMC Board of Directors approved the draft public outreach schedule.
TAMC Board Authorizes Agency Participation in the American Air Advantage Consortium to Support Local Advanced Air Mobility
The TAMC Board learned that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched the Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Integration Pilot Program to accelerate safe deployment of Electric Vehicle Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) and advanced air mobility technologies across the United States. This three-year pilot program will select a minimum of five regions nationwide for real-world testing and operational demonstrations.
The program aims to demonstrate the viability of eVTOL aircraft for passenger transport, cargo logistics, and emergency services, while developing safety data and regulatory frameworks for integrating these aircraft into the National Airspace System.
At the conclusion of the presentation, the Board authorized the agency to participate in the American Air Advantage Consortium and similar efforts to support local Advanced Air Mobility transportation innovation, economic growth, and job creation, because the Monterey Bay region hosts one of the highest concentrations of eVTOL testing and manufacturing in the country, including Joby Aviation’s facilities in Marina and Santa Cruz.
The consortium includes a range of public and private partners working in Northern California on Advanced Air Mobility, including: University of California Santa Cruz; Monterey Bay Economic Partnership; Drones, Aviation, and Robotics Technology; and 14 corporate entities operating in the unmanned aircraft space. 123

December 16, 2025 Meeting
I. Council Report: Regular Meeting of the DRO City Council on November 18, 2025 Dear neighbors,
I wanted to share a warm, plain-language recap of what your City Council worked on at our November 18 meeting. So much of what we do looks technical on paper (ordinances, policies, acrefeet of water, budget amendments), but underneath those details are real people, real homes, and real hopes for Del Rey Oaks.
Caring for neighbors facing a food gap
One of the most meaningful items on our agenda was a contribution to the Food Bank for Monterey County in response to a federal SNAP funding gap caused by the ongoing government shutdown. On paper, this was a $5,000 contribution and a budget amendment.
But in reality, it’s about who we are as a community when our neighbors are hurting.
Because of the federal shutdown, families who rely on SNAP are suddenly seeing less help with groceries. That doesn’t feel like “federal policy” to them; it feels like:
• an empty pantry,
• a parent quietly doing the math in the cereal aisle,
• or a senior stretching what’s in the fridge for one more week.
The Food Bank for Monterey County is stepping into that gap, including for families right here in Del Rey Oaks. Across the county, cities were asked to contribute $10,000 each to help bridge this emergency. For some of our larger neighbors, that’s a manageable discretionary amount.
For a small city like Del Rey Oaks, that same number has a much bigger impact on our limited flexible funds. So we did what we’ve done before with other regional efforts: we participated proportionally. The City moved quickly, authorizing a $5,000 contribution, using one-time General Fund balance, and then bringing it to the Council for formal budget authorization.
To me, this says a few important things about Del Rey Oaks:
• We may be small, but we show up.
• We are fiscally careful, and still clear that no one in our community should go hungry. • We recognize that our residents are part of a larger Monterey County family—and we help when the need is urgent.
125
Item A.
Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 2
I fully support this contribution and am deeply grateful to the Food Bank for the work they do for our residents and our neighboring communities.
Water, housing, and a letter to the State Water Board
We also discussed a major regional water issue: whether to send a letter supporting a modification to the State Water Resources Control Board’s Cease-and-Desist Order (CDO) WR 2016-0016.
Right now, that CDO and related CPUC actions limit California American Water (Cal-Am) from issuing new water connections in much of the Monterey Peninsula. That has made it very difficult for cities, including Del Rey Oaks, to move forward with new housing, economic development, and community projects that need new water meters.
A few key facts:
• The Pure Water Monterey recycled water project came online in 2021, adding new potable supply.
• Cal-Am has stayed within its legal Carmel River pumping limits for the past four years, thanks to that new supply and community-wide conservation. • With the Pure Water Monterey Expansion now coming online, the CPUC has concluded that Cal-Am is not projected to exceed those legal limits in the foreseeable future.
Because of these changes, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District is asking cities to support a modification that would rescind Condition 2 of the CDO, the piece that blocks new service connections.
Here’s my position:
• I support sending a letter backing the modification of the Cease-and-Desist Order so that, with the new recycled water supply in place, we can responsibly move forward with housing and community projects, including here in Del Rey Oaks. • I support using the neutral template that focuses on Pure Water Monterey and the science and performance of that project.
• I do not support using the version that explicitly endorses desalination as our long-term solution, unless and until the Council has had a full, open policy discussion about desalination as part of our water portfolio.
In other words: I want us to be clear and united in asking the State to recognize the success of Pure Water Monterey and to free our region to build the housing and local-serving projects our residents need, without pre-deciding more controversial long-term water strategies in a single letter.
126
Item A.
Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 3
A new water allocation policy: turning 6 acre-feet into real community benefits The other big water item was a proposed Policy Guiding the Allocation of Additional Water Resources, specifically, the 6 acre-feet (AF) of water Del Rey Oaks received from the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District through the Pure Water Monterey Expansion Project.
For context:
• MPWMD granted the City 6.0 AF of potable water earlier this year. • MPWMD controls how much water each jurisdiction gets, but each city is responsible for deciding how to use its allocation. We are also expressly prohibited from “selling” water.
• MPWMD maintains a larger 2,000 AF reserve that could provide additional water to Del Rey Oaks in the future as needs arise.
Six acre-feet is tiny in the grand scheme of a region, but for a small city, it’s a precious new tool.
The draft policy turns that scarce resource into a strategic asset, explicitly aligned with our General Plan, Housing Element, and regional water rules.
How the 6 AF is proposed to be used
Under the draft policy, our 6 AF would be divided among four categories:
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs & JADUs) – 3.0 AF
To help homeowners add small units (garage conversions, backyard cottages, or junior ADUs within existing homes) that provide more flexible, often more affordable housing options.
1. Economic Development (Commercial Uses) – 1.5 AF
o For new or expanded small businesses that create jobs, provide services, and bring life to our local commercial spaces.
2. Municipal Uses – 1.0 AF
o For public facilities and operations, things like park restrooms, public landscaping, or modest City Hall or public works upgrades.
3. Single-Family Home Remodels/Expansions – 0.5 AF
o For small home additions—an extra bedroom, a bathroom, or similar improvements that slightly increase water use but help families stay and grow in place.
Why I support adopting the policy
Given what’s in the packet, I voted YES to adopt this policy. 127
Item A.
Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 4
My reasoning:
• It turns a scarce new resource into a strategic tool for:
o more housing options (especially ADUs),
o small-scale economic vitality,
o and improved public facilities.
• It aligns with our adopted General Plan and Housing Element, which emphasize waterwise growth and priority connections for housing and community needs. • It creates clarity and fairness, so decisions aren’t made through case-by-case lobbying, but through a transparent framework available to everyone.
But it shouldn’t be carved in stone
I totally support the structure, but I want to emphasize a few things:
1. Built-in flexibility and review
The policy already authorizes the City Manager to track and pause allocations and to recommend reallocations if certain categories are not being used. o I would like to see this paired with an explicit check-in: for example, a brief annual report to Council or a review once any category is half-depleted so we can adjust if one “bucket” is oversubscribed and another is barely used.
2. Equity in how we use the water
o For ADUs: I want to make sure lower- and middle-income households can access this water, not just those doing large high-end remodels. That might mean outreach, technical assistance, or program design that works for regular families, not just sophisticated developers.
o For economic development: I want us to prioritize local-serving businesses and community-benefit uses, places where residents can eat, shop, or receive services, rather than simply whoever can pay the most.
3. Planning for future water
6 AF is our starting allocation. As MPWMD’s 2,000 AF reserve is distributed over time, we may want to revisit these proportions so they continue to match Del Rey Oaks’ needs and values.
In short, I support adopting the policy now to create order and opportunity, but with the understanding that we’ll keep checking back to make sure it’s working for our community.
Thank you
Serving as your councilmember is an honor I don’t take lightly. Every line item and policy we vote on ultimately comes back to the same questions:
• Are we taking care of our neighbors?
128
Item A.
Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 5
• Are we planning wisely for the future, especially around water and housing? • Are we spending your tax dollars with care and compassion? If you have questions about any of these items or ideas for how we can better serve our community, please reach out. Your lived experience here in Del Rey Oaks is the best guide we have.
II. Council Report: Regular Meeting of the Seaside County Sanitation District (SCSD) Board of Directors – December 9, 2025
Dear neighbors in Seaside, Del Rey Oaks, and Sand City, As Chair of the Seaside County Sanitation District Board, I want to share a quick and clear recap of what we accomplished at our December 9 meeting. On paper, our work is about
pipelines, master plans, and resolutions, but underneath, it’s really about protecting your homes, your streets, and our shared Monterey Bay.
Keeping our system running safely and quietly
We received the Operations Report for October and November, which is basically the “health check” for our sewer system. It covers how many miles of pipe were cleaned and inspected, where crews jetted lines, and whether there were any stoppages or overflows.
Here’s the bottom line:
• Crews are consistently out in the field cleaning and video-inspecting thousands of feet of pipe to keep things flowing.
• Stoppages and overflows remain rare, and when they do occur, staff responds quickly.
If you don’t think much about the sewer system, that’s actually a success story. It means that when you turn on the tap, take a shower, or flush a toilet, everything works, and wastewater is safely carried away for treatment instead of causing backups in your home or our streets.
Partnering regionally to prevent clogs and spills (FOG program) 129
Item A.
Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 6
We also approved continuing our participation in a regional public education program to keep fats, oils, and grease (often called FOG) out of our pipes. This is the “ClogBusters” campaign you may have seen in ads and outreach materials.
Why this matters:
• When cooking oil, bacon grease, or rich sauces are poured down the sink, they cool and harden inside pipes.
• Add so-called “flushable” wipes and other debris, and you’ve got a recipe for blockages, sewer spills, and expensive emergency repairs.
By joining forces with Monterey One Water and neighboring agencies, we:
• Share the cost of a year-round education campaign (TV, radio, digital, and community events) instead of each agency running its own small program. • Reach far more residents and businesses with a simple, important message: Scrape it, can it, trash it—don’t pour it down the drain.
• Help meet state requirements to actively prevent sewer blockages, not just respond to them after the fact.
Our district’s share of this regional program is a little over $2,000 for the year, an efficient investment in prevention, environmental protection, and long-term cost savings for ratepayers.
Investing in Broadway Avenue: sewer upgrades that support the future Another major item was adding the Broadway Avenue Sewer Line Upgrade Project to our Capital Improvement Program and approving design funding of $115,000 from the General Fund.
Here’s what that means in everyday terms:
• Broadway Avenue is a key corridor in Seaside, and the City is moving forward with a major corridor improvement project (road diet, safer crossings, bike lanes, roundabouts, and better lighting and signage).
• Under that street are sewer lines that were flagged years ago in the sewer master plan as needing an upgrade to handle future development and ensure reliable service. • If we don’t coordinate now, we risk tearing up a newly improved street later to fix or upsize pipes. It will be costly, disruptive, and frustrating for everyone.
By funding the design of the Broadway sewer upgrade now, we are:
130
Item A.
Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 7
• Making sure the sewer system beneath Broadway is sized and ready for the future, including new homes and businesses.
• Lining the work up with the City’s street project so construction happens once, not twice.
• Using public dollars more efficiently by combining projects and reducing repeated disruptions to residents and businesses along Broadway.
Construction funding will come back to the Board once design is complete and we have clear cost estimates and a reimbursement agreement with the City of Seaside. For now, we’ve taken the important first step: putting the project into the capital program and funding its design.
Routine business, continuity, and appreciation
We also:
• Approved the minutes from our October 14 meeting, which included authorizing ongoing engineering support for district projects.
• Provided time for staff updates and Board member comments, ensuring open communication between field staff, management, and the Board.
As Chair, I again expressed my appreciation for the professionalism and dedication of district staff. They do the behind-the-scenes work, often at odd hours and in tough conditions, that keeps our communities safe, sanitary, and environmentally responsible.
How this all affects you
Put simply, the actions we took at this meeting are about:
• Quiet reliability – keeping wastewater moving safely, out of your home and out of our bay.
• Smart prevention – educating the public so we avoid clogs and spills before they happen.
• Future-readiness – upgrading critical infrastructure like Broadway Avenue’s sewer lines so our system can support growth and revitalization without repeated construction headaches.
If you ever have questions about what the Seaside County Sanitation District does, or ideas on how we can communicate better with the public, I’d love to hear from you. Our job is technical, but our purpose is simple: to protect the health and quality of life of everyone in Seaside, Del Rey Oaks, and Sand City.

Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 8
III. Council Report: AMBAG Board of Directors Meeting – November 12, 2025 For this month’s report on the Association of
Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG), I want
to begin by noting that the AMBAG Board does
not have a regular meeting scheduled in
December. Even without a formal Board session,
the work of AMBAG continues in the background,
and it remains very important to Del Rey Oaks. I
would like to use this brief pause in the meeting
schedule to highlight what AMBAG is doing for our
region, how that benefits our city, and what to expect in the coming months.
First, a quick reminder of what AMBAG is. It is our regional planning body, bringing together cities and counties from across the Monterey Bay Area to tackle issues that do not stop at city limits. These include transportation, housing, climate resilience, regional data, and long-range planning. In that sense, AMBAG is one of the most important regional tables where Del Rey Oaks has a seat, a voice, and a vote.
Although the Board is dark in December, AMBAG staff are using this time to advance the longrange work we have been discussing all year. That includes refining the regional transportation plan, tracking new state and federal funding opportunities, supporting local jurisdictions with housing and climate planning, and preparing items for the Board’s early 2026 agenda. Much of the detailed analysis happens in these quieter periods, so that when items come before the Board, they are ready for thoughtful, well-informed action.
For Del Rey Oaks, AMBAG’s ongoing work matters in several concrete ways:
• Transportation and safety: AMBAG is our link to regional transportation planning and funding. The traffic models, project lists, and funding strategies they develop shape the future of roads, transit, and bike and pedestrian networks. When we advocate for safer routes, congestion relief, or better connections to jobs and services, we are working within this regional framework.
• Housing and compliance: AMBAG plays a key role in the regional housing needs process that informs our Housing Element. Their data, projections, and coordination help ensure that small cities like ours are treated fairly and that we remain aligned with state requirements while still reflecting local realities.
• Climate and resilience: AMBAG’s climate plans and greenhouse gas reduction strategies support our own local goals for sustainability, clean air, and resilience to climate impacts. Active participation helps ensure that the needs of smaller jurisdictions are not overshadowed by larger neighbors.
• Data and technical support: AMBAG maintains regional datasets on population, employment, land use, traffic, and more. We rely on these for grant applications, 132
Item A.
Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 9
planning documents, and policy decisions. For a small city with limited staff capacity, access to high-quality regional data and modeling is a powerful advantage.
Even in a month without a meeting, I see my role as your AMBAG delegate as staying engaged with staff updates, reviewing materials that are circulated, and preparing to advocate for Del Rey Oaks when items return to the Board. This includes watching for opportunities where AMBAG’s work can help us:
• position Del Rey Oaks competitively for transportation and infrastructure grants, • align our local plans with regional strategies in ways that leverage effort rather than duplicate it, and
• ensure that regional decisions about roads, transit, housing, and climate reflect the perspective of a small, built-out, but deeply engaged community like ours.
Looking ahead, the next AMBAG Board agenda is expected to bring back items related to longrange transportation planning, funding programs, and continued implementation of regional plans. When those discussions resume, I will continue to prioritize:
• keeping Del Rey Oaks informed and fully at the table, • supporting regional solutions that respect local control and community character, and • seeking practical benefits for our residents, whether that means safer streets, better access to funding, or clearer pathways to meeting our housing and climate obligations.
In short, December may look quiet on the calendar, but it is not quiet behind the scenes.
AMBAG remains an essential partner in shaping the long-term future of our region. Our continued participation ensures that Del Rey Oaks is not simply being carried along by regional decisions, but is actively helping to shape them.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your AMBAG representative.
IV. Council Report: Holiday Message from Councilmember John Uy Dear neighbors and friends,
As this year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reach out from my heart to yours and simply say: thank you.
To my fellow residents of Del Rey Oaks:
Thank you for the everyday kindness that rarely makes headlines but absolutely defines who we are. The hello at the mailbox. The trash can brought in for a neighbor. The patient driver who lets someone merge. The quick text to check in on a friend. These small acts add up to something powerful. They make Del Rey Oaks feel less like a city and more like a community. 133
Item A.
Council Report from Councilmember John Uy, Ed.D. 10
To our City Hall team:
From the staff at the front counter, to our finance and administrative teams, to public works, police, and everyone behind the scenes, I see how much dedication and care you bring to your work. You answer questions, solve problems, and keep things moving even when the workload is heavy and the recognition is quiet. Our city simply does not function without you, and I am deeply grateful.
The holiday season can be joyful, but it can also be complicated. Some of us are celebrating with family and friends. Others may be missing loved ones, working through challenges, or just feeling tired from a long year. Wherever you find yourself this season, I hope you feel this truth:
you matter to this community. Your presence here, your story, and your contributions, big and small, are part of what makes Del Rey Oaks special.
As your councilmember, I am honored that you have trusted me with this role. I carry that responsibility seriously and with gratitude. My promise to you in the year ahead is to keep listening, to keep learning, and to keep working for a city that is safe, welcoming, and full of opportunity for everyone, regardless of age, background, or income.
My wish for us as we enter the new year is simple:
• That we continue to look out for one another.
• That we stay curious and open, even when we disagree. • That we keep building a community where every person feels seen and valued.
If you are able, I invite you to take a moment this season to reach out to someone who might need a little extra light. A neighbor who lives alone. A co-worker who seems overwhelmed. A friend you have been meaning to call. Sometimes a short note, a kind word, or a shared cup of coffee can make all the difference.
From my family to yours, and from our City Hall family to the households across Del Rey Oaks, I wish you peace, good health, and moments of real joy in this holiday season and the coming year.
With appreciation and warmest holiday wishes,
John Uy

Kim Shirley’s Council Report
for Tuesday, December 16, 2025
Friday, November 14th- City Finance Committee Meeting- We had a total of three items to cover during this meeting, and the first was reviewing the October financials. I had a few questions, but nothing out of the ordinary, as the city remains on track with its budget. Our second item was going to be reviewing our draft audit, but it was not ready, so we moved on to the last item, which was talking about the implementation of our Housing Element.
We knew it as we were writing it, but our Housing Element has a lot of programs that will need to be implemented. Given our limited staff and budget, we don’t have someone who can be fully dedicated to developing our Housing Element programs, especially on its current timeline. I believe we all understand that implementing the programs won’t get us much closer to actually building affordable homes since most of the building is focused on our Ft. Ord property, but I do believe there are some programs that can be implemented that will help support our larger community. Knowing that, I suggested that we review the programs, with the help of our planner Denise Duffy, and tackle the low-hanging fruit or the programs that will best serve our current community, while also implementing programs that will move the needle towards building in Ft. Ord. It sounds like we can look forward to these discussions during the first part of 2026.
Tuesday, November 18th- City Council Meeting- Our meeting this evening addressed the consent and two new business items. Although nothing was pulled from the consent agenda, I would like to point out one of the items, which was a donation of $5,000 to the Food Bank of Monterey County. A few weeks before our meeting, I had heard that Marina Council Member Jenny McAdams asked her City Manager to talk at the monthly meeting of City Managers about asking all cities to each donate $10,000 knowing that it’s likely within their purview to spend that amount and understanding the great impact multiple jurisdictions donating could make for our local communities who depend on that food assistance, especially with the delay in Federal SNAP benefits. With this knowledge, I asked our City Manager, John Guertin, to look into bringing this to the council. He responded that he’d ask the Mayor, and collectively they decided we’d be able to donate $5,000, which seemed reasonable given the size of our budget in comparison to other jurisdictions. I was grateful for the response and happy that our city would be giving a little extra during this time when prices are rising, and benefits may not be able to cover the costs of food for everyone in need.
Our first item of new business was considering a letter of support sent to the State Water Resources Control Board for modification of the Cease and Desist order. Modification of the order would allow us and other peninsula cities to have new construction with new water meters (as opposed to finding water credits and applying those to current water meters when building). This is less important for our city since much of our new building will be out in Ft. Ord, where this Cease and Desist order does not apply, but this will allow 1 136
Item A.
some residents to add additional bathrooms or to build ADUs without the need to find the water credits that could be applied to their present meter. Our council had the option of a "neutral" letter or a letter that offered the same message but also offered support for Cal-Am’s desalination project. Our council easily decided on the “neutral” letter (the other letter wasn’t brought up for discussion) and only added minor edits. I was happy we could support the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District in their bid for this modification.
Our second item was also water-related, as it was approving a policy that would guide the allocation of our additional water credits (6 Acre Feet) that we’re receiving from the expansion of Pure Water Monterey. This policy had already gone through the Planning Commission, and our council also easily passed this policy. I appreciated the work the staff did on this policy, as it has the greatest allotment in the areas we need to focus on the most for housing that will help us meet our RHNA numbers for affordable housing. In this policy, we’ll have 3 AF (acre feet) allotted to ADUs (accessory dwelling units), 1.5 AF to commercial, 1 AF to municipal uses (think city hall, park restrooms, etc.), and .5 AF to single-family home expansion or remodels.
Lastly, during comments from City Manager Guertin, he shared that the city is no longer working with City Ventures, the developer we had an exclusive right to negotiate with for our property in Ft. Ord. He stated that he’ll be meeting with Denise Duffy (our contract planner) and David Zender (our contract economic development person) to talk about our next steps. He’s planning on bringing up a discussion at our council meeting in December on this topic.
Friday, November 21st- ReGen Monterey Board Meeting- This month, after passing the consent agenda, we were able to recognize an employee, Victor Aguillon, for 25 years of service. It’s always fun to meet employees and to hear more about their tenure at ReGen Monterey. In fact, this was paired with an article that was copied for all of the directors about a tour that was given to a few local officers of our OE3 union. In this article, they were describing the positive atmosphere they encountered at ReGen and the longevity of our employees. It really shows that when you provide upward mobility opportunities with a good working environment, it pays off in the long run for both the employees and our agency.
Next, during our discussion portion of the agenda, we approved a new limited-term financial analyst position, and we also approved an economic hardship discretionary bonus of $500. I was very proud of the ReGen staff who suggested this bonus, which would go to our employees whose wages do not match the “living wage” of Monterey County, which is $35/hr. The federal freeze of the SNAP benefits, along with the higher cost of living, affects these employees much more than those who are making higher wages. To show our appreciation for their work, 54 qualified employees were chosen for this bonus. Again, I appreciated the thoughtfulness of this action, and I do hope that other agencies consider 2 137
Item A.
their lower wage employees and provide them with similar help during this time, when the need is greater.
Our third item was authorizing our general manager to negotiate and enter into a short-term power purchase agreement (1-3 years) with Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) and terminate our existing power sales agreement with 3 Phases Renewables. In short, the additional electricity that we’re producing (beyond powering our campus and, in the near future, sending electricity to M1W) will be sold to 3CE for a higher price than what we’re receiving by selling it to 3 Phases Renewables. In addition, we’re supporting our local electricity provider whose focus is on clean, renewable energy. This contract with 3CE will also help us to utilize their expertise as we continue to investigate and decide how we want to best use our methane. It’s ultimately a win-win for us both.
Our last decision item was reviewing the new changes to the Brown Act. Basically, the changes won’t apply to our special district because of our size and the smaller size of our county. Regardless, it was good to review the items in the Act that still apply to our meetings.
Under our correspondence, we reviewed a letter from the Monterey Bay Air Resources Board of Directors, which was reducing our penalty for a methane violation. The penalty went from $147,264.00 down to $15,000 with the acknowledgement that we’d be working to achieve long-term compliance and system resilience by investing in a backup generator dedicated to the landfill gas blower and flare, along with purchasing and using a surface emissions monitoring device. Collectively, this equipment will cost us over $275,000, which is well above the initial penalty, but it will help us to never have another violation, and it ultimately benefits our environment.
Lastly, we had the election of new officers for next year. I’m grateful and humbled by the fact that the ad hoc committee nominated me to board chair again, along with Mayor Delgado as vice chair. This will be my third and final year, and I look forward to serving and working so closely with this agency that I admire so much! Tuesday, December 2nd- Ribbon Cutting for Monterey One Water Co-Digester- I was honored to be invited to attend the ribbon cutting of Monterey One Water’s (M1W) co-digester, which was funded through CalRecycle. This digester will be accepting food waste and using some of its biosolids to produce methane, which will then be converted to renewable natural gas. Producing renewable natural gas has a greater financial payback as compared to producing electricity from the methane, so this is a way for M1W to use their bio-solids in a way that will not only protect the environment from methane gas, but also provide them with greater financial rewards.

HIGHLIGHTS
December 3, 2025
Highway 1 Elkhorn Slough Corridor Climate Resiliency Project The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), working collaboratively with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (ESNERR), will evaluate the risk of sea level rise impacting a key transportation corridor in north Monterey County and develop multimodal and nature-based transportation adaptation solutions to address this vulnerability.
The project is funded with $2,250,000 from a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Climate Adaptation Grant program grant to prepare a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study and related documents, expanding on existing feasibility studies on nature-based and multimodal solutions to climate change impacts on the corridor.
This project focuses on an eight-mile stretch of Highway 1 through the disadvantaged community of Moss Landing and the parallel five miles of rail tracks traversing Elkhorn Slough. Providing multimodal options and integrating nature-based solutions are top priorities for this project. The corridor traverses Elkhorn Slough, a major estuary located in Monterey Bay, California, which provides valuable habitat area for hundreds of aquatic birds, fish, marine mammals, and invertebrate species.
Tidal estuarine habitats within the Slough, and the ecosystem services they provide, are at risk of substantial degradation and losses from sea level rise. Coastal Resilience Monterey predicts sea level rise to be 5.2 feet by 2100. The rail tracks through Elkhorn Slough, owned by Union Pacific railroad, carries freight rail traffic and Amtrak Coast Starlight passengers. The Central Coast Highway 1 Climate Resiliency study examined the climate impacts on the rail corridor and recommended an elevated trestle through the slough. This, along with other alternatives, will be considered during the Planning and Environmental Linkages Study (PEL Study) process. 150

A key component of the PEL study is to gather input and build consensus among internal and external stakeholders to shape the proposed corridor transportation vision. This is a comprehensive approach that involves resource and regulatory agencies, tribes, local stakeholders and engaging the public on an ongoing basis in meetings, workshops and public hearings and notices. Staff will seek feedback and input from stakeholders as key milestones of the project are reached.
After receiving the presentation, the TAMC Board of Directors approved the draft public outreach schedule.
TAMC Board Authorizes Agency Participation in the American Air Advantage Consortium to Support Local Advanced Air Mobility
The TAMC Board learned that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched the Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Integration Pilot Program to accelerate safe deployment of Electric Vehicle Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) and advanced air mobility technologies across the United States. This three-year pilot program will select a minimum of five regions nationwide for realworld testing and operational demonstrations.
The program aims to demonstrate the viability of eVTOL aircraft for passenger transport, cargo logistics, and emergency services, while developing safety data and regulatory frameworks for integrating these aircraft into the National Airspace System.
At the conclusion of the presentation, the Board authorized the agency to participate in the American Air Advantage Consortium and similar efforts to support local Advanced Air Mobility transportation innovation, economic growth, and job creation, because the Monterey Bay region hosts one of the highest concentrations of eVTOL testing and manufacturing in the country, including Joby Aviation’s facilities in Marina and Santa Cruz.
The consortium includes a range of public and private partners working in Northern California on Advanced Air Mobility, including: University of California Santa Cruz; Monterey Bay Economic Partnership; Drones, Aviation, and Robotics Technology; and 14 corporate entities operating in the unmanned aircraft space.
