AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.H.

Date: June 17, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Yvetteh Ortiz, Public Works Director/City Engineer, Public Works Department
Subject: SB 1 - The Road Repair and Accountability Act, List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2025-26

ACTION PROPOSED
Approve a resolution adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to receive funding from Senate Bill 1 – The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 through the Local Streets and Roads Program.

BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) – The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was passed by the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide. SB 1 provided the first significant, stable, and on-going increase in state transportation funding in more than two decades by increasing per gallon fuel excise taxes, increasing diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees, stabilizing the problematic price-based fuel tax rates, and providing for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years. Beginning in November 2017, the new funding was deposited into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), and a percentage of this new funding is apportioned monthly by formula by the State Controller pursuant to eligible cities and counties for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on local streets and roads. This funding, along with associated requirements described below, is known as the Local Streets and Roads Program (LSRP).

SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. Therefore, to be eligible for SB 1 LSRP funding, the statute requires cities to provide basic annual project reporting to the California Transportation Commission (Commission) to ensure that El Cerrito residents are aware of the projects proposed for funding and those completed each fiscal year. Prior to receiving an apportionment of LSRP funds from the Controller in a fiscal year, a city must adopt by resolution a list of projects to be funded with RMRA revenues and submit it to the Commission. LSRP funds must be prioritized for expenditure on basic road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, and on critical safety projects. More specifically, LSRP allocations must be used for projects that include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Road maintenance and rehabilitation
• Safety projects
Agenda Packet Page 188 of 375
Agenda Item No. 7.H.
• Railroad grade separations
• Traffic control devices
• Complete street components (including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project). • LSRP funds may also be used to satisfy a match requirement to obtain state or federal funds for eligible projects.

SB 1 requires a maintenance of effort (MOE) for funds allocated through the LSRP to ensure that these new funds do not supplant existing levels of General Fund (discretionary) spending on streets and roads. The Controller computed the official MOE requirements for all local agencies based on a review of General Fund spending for the period of July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2012. In February 2018, the Controller determined the average annual expenditure from the General Fund for street purposes to be $279,446 for the City of El Cerrito. This amount is a portion of Public Works Department expenditures within the General Fund and will be the City’s MOE for SB 1 moving forward.

ANALYSIS
As indicated above, prior to receiving an apportionment of LSRP funds from the Controller in each fiscal year, a city must submit to the Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds pursuant to an adopted resolution. The list must include for each project: description, location, schedule, and estimated useful life. The project list does not limit the flexibility of a city to spend on projects in accordance with local needs and priorities, so long as the projects are consistent with LSRP priorities and expenditures are reported on an annual basis.

The City has through various efforts, undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into our community’s transportation priorities, including, as part of the development of the City’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan adopted by the City Council in 2009, the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan adopted by the City Council in 2014 and updated in 2022, the Active Transportation Plan adopted by the City Council in 2016, and the five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) adopted by the City Council a biennial basis. The City has significant needs for maintaining, repairing, rehabilitating, and improving pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle infrastructure, which includes sidewalks, street pavement, traffic signal and street light equipment, and traffic signs. City staff reviewed the numerous transportation infrastructure needs and priorities identified in these plans, the CIP, and on-going maintenance services and repairs to develop the proposed project list.

SB 1 transportation funding is limited relative to the City’s substantial transportation needs, especially considering that a portion of SB 1 funding was needed to backfill previous declines in the Highway Users Tax Account (also known as Gas Tax) revenues in relation to increasing expenses.

Agenda Packet Page 189 of 375
Agenda Item No. 7.H.

Gas Tax revenues have been sensitive to the price and volume of motor fuel purchases and were unstable and began declining in Fiscal Year 2013-14 as fuel prices were decreasing and drivers migrated to alternative fuel vehicles. Detailed information regarding Gas Tax and SB 1 revenues is provided in the California Local Government Finance Almanac, principal fiscal policy advisor for the League of California Cities, provided as an attachment to this report.

The RMRA revenues are now enabling the City to continue providing essential street maintenance services, to address deferred transportation infrastructure repair and safety projects and to implement active transportation (pedestrian and bicycle) improvement projects that would not have been possible without SB 1. Six projects adopted by the City Council in the prior fiscal years will continue to use LSRP funds in addition to those for which funds have already been encumbered, such as the Del Norte Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Complete Streets Improvement Project. These include three annual maintenance programs for sidewalks, street lights and traffic signals, and capital improvement projects for access modifications, active transportation, and complete streets projects. City staff propose the following projects be partially or solely funded by SB 1:
• Active Transportation Program
• Richmond Street Improvements
• Access Modifications – Streets & Sidewalk
• Street Light, Traffic Signal & Street Sign Replacement and Upgrades • Street Light & Traffic Signal Maintenance
• Sidewalk Infrastructure Maintenance
Detailed information about each project is contained in Exhibit A to the Resolution. To be eligible for LSRP funding in Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City must submit a resolution adopting the list of projects to the Commission by July 1, 2025.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization; and
• Infrastructure and Amenities; and
• Environmental Sustainability.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The proposed action does not require review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project. Adoption of the resolution designates projects for funding with SB 1 funds but does not commit the City to those projects. The resolution is a form of government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).) If SB 1 funds were used for a purpose that would have such effect, the City would undertake the required Agenda Packet Page 190 of 375
Agenda Item No. 7.H.

CEQA review for that particular project at the earliest feasible time prior to the approval of the project. Some of the projects for which the resolution designates funding are themselves exempt from CEQA because they involve maintenance of existing facilities. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301). Other projects designated to receive funding have already been reviewed under CEQA.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The California Local Government Finance Almanac has used California Department of Finance (DOF) estimates to develop city-level estimates of RMRA revenues.

These were updated on May 15, 2025, based on the Governor’s May Revision to the Proposed 2025-26 Budget (released May 14, 2025).

As described in the Almanac, fuel consumption has largely recovered to its prior, slightly declining trajectory prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fuel prices no longer have a direct effect on local streets and roads revenues because all rates are per gallon, regardless of price. SB 1 adopted annual inflationary adjustments beginning July 1, 2020, to all pergallon motor vehicle fuel excise taxes, including the rates allocated through the Gas Tax. As such, despite flat or slightly declining fuel consumption, modest growth is expected in SB 1 revenues in the upcoming years. For FY 2025-26, El Cerrito’s SB 1 funding is estimated to be $703,600, up approximately 3.6% from $679,291 projected for FY 2024-25 year-end. The Controller will continuously apportion these SB 1 funds monthly to eligible local agencies using a process and system like that of the Gas Tax.

The SB 1 fund revenues and expenditure appropriations for the projects are being considered by the City Council as part of the FY 2025-26 budget process in separate policy items at the City Council’s regular meetings on June 3 and 17, 2025. The revenue assumptions in the budget are based on prior, slightly lower revenue assumptions.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed action and found that legal considerations have been addressed.

Shared Revenue Estimates: State Revenue Allocations to Cities and Counties Local Streets and Roads Estimates: 2024-25, 2025-26
Including Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) and
Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA)
The state of California imposes per-gallon excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, sales taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel and registration taxes on motor vehicles with allocations dedicated to transportation purposes.1 The local (city and county) portions of these allocations flow through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA), the familiar gasoline tax revenues that have been in place for decades, and the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) which allocates much of the revenue from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Beall).

State taxes transferred to and allocated through the state Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) include:
• The per gallon “gasoline tax” and “diesel fuel tax” imposed on the use of vehicle fuels. • The “use fuel tax,” imposed on vendors and users of motor vehicle fuels that are not taxed under either the gasoline or diesel fuel tax, such as liquefied petroleum gas, ethanol, methanol and natural gas (both liquid and gaseous) for use on state highways. Use Fuel Tax rates vary depending on the type of fuel. • Variable rate per gallon gasoline diesel fuel excise taxes imposed in 2010-11 in a complicated arrangement known as the “fuel tax swap.” This rate replaced the previous Proposition 42 sales tax on gasoline.

Transportation taxes allocated to cities and counties through the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) established by the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Beall) include:
• An additional 12 cent per gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax effective November 1, 2017 with annual inflation adjustments beginning July 1, 2020.
• An additional 20 cent per gallon increase to the diesel fuel excise tax effective November 1, 2017 with half of the revenues going to the state Trade Corridor Enhancement Account (TCEA) and half to the RMRA. Annual inflation adjustments beginning July 1, 2020. • An additional vehicle registration tax called the “Transportation Improvement Fee” with rates based on the value of the motor vehicle effective January 1, 2018 with annual inflation adjustments beginning July 1, 2020.
• An additional $100 vehicle registration tax on zero emissions vehicles of model year 2020 or later effective July 1, 2020 with annual inflation adjustments beginning July 1, 2021.

The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Beall) also adopted annual inflationary adjustments beginning July 1, 2020 to all per-gallon motor vehicle fuel excise taxes including the rates allocated through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA).

Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA)
Revenue Allocations – Streets & Highways Code Sec 2103-2108 “HUTA” Cities and counties receive revenue from the motor vehicle fuel taxes imposed pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7360(a) and (b) through the Highway User Tax Account under the following formulas outlined in the Streets and Highways code and illustrated in Figure 1.

Section 2104. Section 2104 allocates funds to counties with designated allotments for engineering and administration, snow removal, heavy rainfall / storm damage as well as county streets, roads and public mass transit guideways and facilities.

Section 2105. Section 2105(a) allocates 11.5 percent of the tax revenues in excess of 9 cents per gallon (i.e. the Proposition 111 rate) monthly among counties based on population.

Section 2105(b) allocates 11.5 percent of the tax revenues in excess of 9 cents per gallon (i.e. the Proposition 111 rate) monthly among cities based on population.

Section 2106. Revenues equal to 1.04 cents per gallon are allocated as follows:
a. $7.2 million per year to the State Bicycle Transportation Account. b. $400 per month to each city ($2,308,800 per year among the 481 eligible cities2) c. $800 per month to each county ($556,800 per year among the 58 counties) d. The residual amount to each county and the cities in that county based on registered vehicles. In each county, from this amount, the county receives an allotment based on the share of assessed value of the county which is in the unincorporated area. The remainder is allocated to the cities within the county based on population.
2 The city of Rolling Hills has only private streets and is therefor not eligible to receive these allocations.

Agenda Packet Page 197 of 375

Page 3 of 14 ends

CaliforniaCityFinance.com
Section 2107. This section provides monthly allocations to cities of 1.315 cents per gallon of gasoline, 1.8 cents per gallon of diesel, and 2.59 cents per liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), as follows. a. Each city with snow removal costs in excess of $5,000 is allocated 50 percent of the cost exceeding $5,000.
b. The remainder is allocated to cities based on population.

Section 2107.5. These funds (about $2.7 million per year) are allocated to cities annually in July based on population as follows:

Section 2107.5 funds must be used for engineering costs and administrative expenses related to city streets. Cities with populations under 10,000 may also expend the moneys for street construction or acquisition of street rights-of-way.

Section 2103 HUTA and the 2010 Gasoline Sales Tax – Excise Tax Swap In March 2010 as a part of a special budget session called by Governor Schwarzenegger, the Legislature enacted a swap of state sales taxes on gasoline for a gasoline excise tax. Intended to be “revenue neutral,” the fuel tax swap provided the Legislature with greater flexibility in the use of funds, in particular relieving the general fund from the cost of state transportation debt service payments. The fuel tax swap:

1. Repealed the state sales tax on gasoline (local rates including the Bradley Burns are NOT affected);

2. Increased the excise tax on gasoline by 17.322 cents and added an annual adjustment mechanism intended to ensure the new excise tax provides, over time, the same amount of revenues expected from the sales tax on gas (no more, no less);

3. Increased the sales tax on diesel by 1.75 percent and allocated 75 percent to local transit agencies and 25 percent to state transit programs. The excise tax on diesel was reduced from 18 cents to 13.6 cents.

Sales tax revenues from diesel must go to transit funding.

4. Provided for a specific allocation of the funds among state and local transportation needs.

Revenues from the new Section 2103 excise tax rate are now allocated as follows:

1. State transportation debt service;

2. Remainder allocated:
a. 44 percent to the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP); b. 12 percent State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP); c. 44 percent evenly split between cities and counties using current HUTA formulas.

Section 2103 funds are allocated to cities on a per capita basis and to counties 75 percent based on the proportion of registered vehicles and 25 percent based on the proportion of maintained county road miles.

The law included expressed legislative intent to fully replace the local streets and road funds cities and counties would have received under Proposition 42 state sales tax on gasoline with allocations from the new higher motor vehicle excise tax (HUTA) rate.

However, the swap created certain revenue effects related to the timing and receipt of revenues. In particular, the law provided that the new excise tax rate be adjusted annually by the BOE to garner an amount of revenues equal to what Prop42 would have provided in the prior year. Thus, the annual Sec 2103 funds were always “looking backward.” If the Section 2103 amounts generated less than Prop42 would have, the difference was made up until the following year.

In the years following the swap, there were a number of snafus and changes in interpretation of the Section 2103 allocation. In FY2011-12 SCO allocated more money to cities and counties and did not fully backfill state transportation programs for weight fees that were used for debt service and loans that those funds would have otherwise received. This was contrary to the Legislature’s intention, but the statute was not clear. The statute was clarified in the 2013 budget to clarify the original intent of the weight fee swap to fully backfill state transportation funds. [Streets & Highways Code 2103 (a)(1)(D)].

Changes to HUTA Allocated Rates, Including the Variable Rate by the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Beall)
In addition to increasing various fuel and motor vehicle registration taxes, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Beall) removed BOE’s discretionary rate setting role over the Section 2103 variable rate and reset the variable rate at 17.3 cents per gallon on July 1, 2019, up from the current 11.7 cents. This adjustment more than doubled Section 2103 revenue allocations for FY2019-20 over the prior year.

With regard to diesel fuel taxes, SB1 also eliminated the price-based adjustment mechanism applied to the diesel fuel tax rate.

Since 2020, gasoline and diesel fuel excise tax rates are increased on July 1 by the change in the California Consumer Price Index from the prior year. These include the 18 cent per gallon base rate, the 17.3 percent per gallon rate, the diesel fuel excise tax rate and vehicle registration taxes.

Use of Funds: HUTA
The use of local Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax funds is restricted by Article XIX of the California State Constitution and by Streets and Highways Code Section 2101. All Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax funds allocated from the Highway Users Tax Account must be expended for the following:
(a) The research, planning, construction, improvement, maintenance, and operation of public streets and highways (and their related public facilities for nonmotorized traffic), including the mitigation of their environmental effects, the payment for property taken or damaged for such purposes, and the administrative costs necessarily incurred in the foregoing purposes. (b) The research and planning for exclusive public mass transit guideways (and their related fixed facilities), the payment for property taken or damaged for such purposes, and the administrative costs necessarily incurred in the foregoing purposes.
(c) The construction and improvement of exclusive public mass transit guideways (and their related fixed facilities), including the mitigation of their environmental effects, the payment for property taken or damaged for such purposes, the administrative costs necessarily incurred in the foregoing purposes, and the maintenance of the structures and the immediate right-of-way for the public mass transit guideways. (d) The payment of principal and interest on voter-approved bonds issued for the purposes specified above.

Three Year State General Fund TCRF Loan Repayment Funds SB1 stipulated the repayment of $706 million by the state General Fund to transportation funds over three fiscal years: 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20. Under SB1, $75 million was allocated to local streets and roads from repayments of Transportation Congestion Relief Funds (TCRF) in each of these three years. These funds were allocated half to cities and half to counties with the city funds allocated among cities on a per capita basis, the county funds allocated among counties based on numbers of registered vehicles and county road mileage.

These TCRF revenues may be deposited in local HUTA funds.3 However, these TCRF funds carried slightly different use requirements than HUTA funds. TCRF funds could be expended only for street and highway maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction or storm damage repair. For these purposes, • “Maintenance” means patching and/or overlay and sealing. • “Reconstruction” includes any overlay, sealing or widening of the roadway, if the widening is necessary to bring the roadway width to the state minimum standards, but does not include widening for the purpose of traffic capacity.
• “Storm damage repair” is repair or reconstruction of local streets and highways and related drainage improvements that have been damaged due to winter storms and flooding, and construction of drainage improvements to mitigate future roadway flooding and damage problems, in those jurisdictions that have been declared disaster areas by the President of the United States. 3 Note that the “loan repayment” is between the state general fund and state transportation funds. From an accounting standpoint this is NOT a debt repayment to local agencies, it is simply revenue.

Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA)
Revenue Allocations – Streets & Highways Code Sec 2031 “RMRA” The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Beall) represented a significant additional investment in California’s transportation systems of over $5 billion per year. The Act increased per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration taxes, stabilized the problematic price-based fuel tax rates and provided for inflationary adjustments to rates in future years. The Act is more than doubling local streets and road funds allocated through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) and through the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) which it established.

The RMRA receives funds4 from the following new taxes imposed under the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017:
• A 12 cent per gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax effective November 1, 2017. • A 20 cent per gallon increase to the diesel fuel excise tax effective November 1, 2017, half of which will be allocated to Trade Corridors Enhancement Account (TCEA) with the remaining half to the RMRA. • A new vehicle registration tax called the “transportation improvement fee,” effective January 1, 2018, based on the market value of the vehicle.
• An additional new $100 vehicle registration tax on zero emission vehicles model year 2020 and later effective July 1, 2020.
• Annual rate increases to these taxes every July 1 (January 1 for the registration fees) for the change in the California Consumer Price Index. The first adjustment made on July 1, 2020 covered CPI change for two years: November 1, 2017 through November 12, 2019.
4 In addition, funds from a 4 percent increase in the diesel sales tax to 5.75 percent from the prior 1.75 percent effective November 1, 2017 are allocated to the Public Transportation Account.

The Road Repair and Accountability Act directs the State Controller to allocate, on a monthly basis, fifty percent of the revenues in the RMRA to the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOP) in the State Highway Account and half to cities and counties. But there are a series of specific program allocations, subject to appropriation in the annual state budget, to be taken out first:

1. Administrative costs.

2. $200 million for the State-Local-Partnership Program for existing and aspiring self-help jurisdictions.

3. $100 million annually for the Active Transportation Program for the purpose of encouraging increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and walking.

4. $400 million for state bridge and culvert maintenance and rehabilitation.

5. $25 million for the state’s Freeway Service Patrol program.

6. $5 million for five years through FY 2021-22 for pre-apprenticeship training programs of the California Workforce Development Board.

7. $25 million for local planning grants to encourage local and regional planning.

8. $7 million for transportation research and transportation-related workforce education, training, and development including $5 million to the University of California and $2 million to the California State University.

Use of Funds: RMRA [Streets and Highways Code Section 2030] The use of RMRA local streets and roads funds is similar but, not identical, to HUTA use rules. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2030, RMRA local streets and roads allocations must be used for projects “that include, but are not limited to,” the following
• Road maintenance and rehabilitation
• Safety projects
• Railroad grade separations
• Traffic control devices
• Complete street components, “including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and storm-water capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project.”
RMRA funds may also be used to satisfy a match requirement for projects eligible for state or federal funds.

SB1 also contains non-obligatory intent language regarding the use of funds. “To the extent possible and cost effective,” cities and counties are to use a use:
• advanced recycling techniques that reduce greenhouse gas emissions; • automotive technologies, ZEV fueling, infrastructure-to-vehicle; • communications autonomous vehicle systems;
• resiliency re climate change, fires, floods, sea level rise; and • complete street elements, access for bicycles, pedestrians.

If a city or county has an average Pavement Condition Index that meets or exceeds 80, the city or county may spend its RMRA funds on transportation priorities other than these. [Streets and Highways Code Sec 2037] Maintenance of Effort: RMRA [Streets and Highways Code Sec 2036] The Road Repair and Accountability Act contains a local agency maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement that applies to funds allocated through the RMRA. The Act states that the MOE requirement is to ensure that these new roads funds do not supplant existing levels of city and county general revenue spending on streets and roads. The MOE for the receipt of RMRA funds state that a city or county must maintain general fund spending for street, road, and highway purposes at no less than average of 2009–10, 2010–11, and 2011–12 years. In making this calculation an agency may exclude one-time funds. A city or county that fails to comply in a particular year may make it up with in additional expenditures in the following year.

The Act provides that the State Controller may perform audits to ensure compliance with these MOE rules. If the State Controller determines that a city or county has not met its MOE, the agency will be required to reimburse the state for the funds it received during that fiscal year. However, a city or county that fails to comply in a particular fiscal year may expend during that fiscal year and the following fiscal year a total amount that is sufficient to comply. Any funds withheld or returned as a result of a failure to comply will be reapportioned to the other counties and cities whose expenditures are in compliance.

For further guidance, see the State Controller’s “Guidelines Relating to Gas Tax Expenditures for Cities and Counties.”
Spending Plans and Reports: RMRA [Streets and Highways Code Sec 2034] The Road Repair and Accountability Act stipulates that, prior to receiving RMRA funds in a fiscal year, a city or county must submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a project list pursuant to an adopted budget. The list must include for each project: description, location, schedule, useful life. [Streets and Highways Code Sec 2034(a)]
The Road Repair and Accountability Act also requires that a city or county submit to the CTC an annual report of project completion in order to receive RMRA funds. The report must include descriptions of all projects for which RMRA funds were expended including: description, location, funds expended, completion date, estimated useful life of the project.

Budgeting and Accounting for RMRA Funds: The ~60 Day Delay The allocation of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) revenues to cities and counties takes many weeks. It takes the State Controller’s Office roughly 30 to 60 days from the time of revenue collection by the state, through the various statutory set asides to distribute the funds to cities and counties in monthly allocations. Consequently, the estimates shown in this report are for revenues collected for July through June are not received on a cash basis by local agencies until September through August. That is, for example, the FY2022-23 figure for your agency is revenues collected in and for July 2022 through June 2023 but distributed in monthly allocations September 2022 through August 2023. Cities and counties thus have two choices in the budgeting and accounting of RMRA revenues:
1) apply a 60 day accrual policy to RMRA funds (recommended); or 2) adjust RMRA budgets (especially in FY2017-18) to reflect a distributed cash basis.

Local Streets and Roads (HUTA and RMRA) Revenue Estimates for FY2024-25 and FY2025-26
We have computed revenue estimates for each city and county using a model reflecting the local allocation formulas, latest population figures used by the State Controller for allocations and estimates by the state Department of Finance (DOF) of statewide HUTA and RMRA tax revenues provided with the Governor’s May Revision to the Proposed 2025-26 Budget (released May 14, 2025) and analyses of SB1(Beall), The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

Fuel consumption was sharply down during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic but has largely recovered to its prior, slightly declining trajectory. Recently, fuel prices have increased steeply but the price of fuel no longer has a direct effect on local streets and roads revenues because all rates are per gallon, regardless of price.

Despite lower fuel consumption, scheduled rate increases stipulated in SB1 have kept local allocations of revenue growing at a modest pace. Total LSR allocations (including HUTA, TCRF, and RMRA) were up 6.7 percent in 2022-23 and 10.8 percent in 2023-24. Nevertheless, as fuel consumption gradually declines, revenue growth will soften. The Department of Finance projects total LSR allocations to cities and counties in 2024-25 will be 5.1 percent above FY 2023-24. For the budget year FY2025-26, DOF estimates total statewide local streets and roads allocations will grow just 1.7 percent.

HUTA (Highway Users Tax Account)
HUTA revenues are allocated to cities and counties pursuant to Sections 2103-2107 of the Streets and Highways Code. The per gallon excise tax rates that provide HUTA revenues are adjusted annually on July 1 as described above. Revenue changes depend on the combined effects of 1) these rate adjustments, 2) taxable gallonage, and 3) the relative change of statutory transfers including the “weight fee offset” that pays state transportation bond debt.

Sec2103-2108 HUTA allocations (not including RMRA) grew 12.6 percent in FY2023-24 largely reflecting the post-pandemic economic recovery. HUTA revenue growth is now flattening and will begin to decline in a few years. DOF estimates 2.6 percent HUTA growth in current year FY2024-25, leveling off to 0.01 percent growth in budget year FY2024-25.

RMRA (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account)5
The Road Repair and Accountability Act (SB1) taxes that provide funding to cities and counties through the RMRA began on November 1, 2017 when the new per-gallon fuel excise taxes took effect. It also includes allocations from the SB1 vehicle registration tax (“Transportation Improvement Fee”) and the zero emission vehicle registration tax (“Road Improvement Fee”).

DOF estimates FY2024-25 RMRA revenues will be 8.1 percent higher than FY2023-24 actuals and that FY2025- 26 revenues will grow by 3.6 percent over the current year.

Why does city/county RMRA growth differ from city/county HUTA growth? Under SB1, various fixed-amount statutory allocations are made from the new SB1 tax rates prior to the city and county allocations. In addition, the $1.3 million and growing “weight fee transfer” that is used to pay state transportation debt service is projected to grow more than the modest growth in HUTA revenues impacting the local allocations which follow.

California Local Streets and Roads Program - State Funds to Cities and Counties Looking Ahead: Long Term Estimates of Local Streets and Roads Funding Since the recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, we have seen modest year over year growth in local streets and roads revenues. In future years, as alternative fuel vehicles come more into use, fuel consumption will continue to decline. The SB1 annual cost of living adjustments will help to maintain revenues but we will see decline in revenue growth to below the rate of inflation.

Due to complicated statutory transfers from these revenues before the city and county allocations are made (including the $1.3 billion transfer for state transportation debt service), actual growth in funding allocated to cities and counties varies somewhat among the various categories of local streets and roads allocations and will not exactly mirror total tax collections. Taking all these factors into account, for the purposes of long-term 5 Note that RMRA revenues are delayed 60 days from collection to allocation. That is, the revenues for a July 1 to June 30 fiscal year are allocated September 1 through August 31. These are spendable in the fiscal year because your accounting staff “accrues” them back into your fiscal year.

transportation program planning, we estimate transportation allocations to cities and counties will increase in outyears at the following growth rates:

Your Mileage Revenues May Vary
Long-term, in addition to the growth in statewide local streets and roads revenue collections, the allocations to each particular city will be primarily related to changes in the city’s population relative to the change in state population in cities. The current forecast for California population, provided by the Demographics Unit of the California Department of Finance is as follows:6
If you think your city’s population growth will be significantly different from the statewide average in cities, then you should adjust accordingly. For example, the City of Buenavida’s planning department estimates the city will see average annual residential population growth of 1.5 percent annually over the next ten years. The city’s estimated HUTA 2105 allocation for FY2025-26 is $381,200. The long term projection of Section 2105 revenue would be:
$381,200 x Sec2105 growth x Buenavida Population Growth ÷ Statewide City Population Growth So, for 2026-27, the city would estimate $381,200 x 1.007 x 1.015 ÷ 1.0019 = $388,829 And long term …

Date: June 17, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Jarrett Mullen, Sustainable Transportation Program Manager, Community Development Department; Yvetteh Ortiz, Public Works Director/City Engineer, Public Works Department
Subject: Designate One On-Street Parking Space for Zipcar on Kearney Street South of Manila Avenue

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution designating one on-street parking space for Zipcar on the east side of Kearney Street south of Manila Avenue, fronting the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

BACKGROUND
Car sharing is a service that provides members with access to a fleet of vehicles on an hourly basis. Members reserve a car online, walk to the nearest parking space, open the door with their phone or keycard, and drive off. They are billed at the end of their trip. By providing an alternative to car ownership, car sharing is proven to reduce parking demand and complement walking, bicycling, and public transit use. Research shows that each car share vehicle can replace as many as 11 private vehicles and on average, are shared among 19 unique users. In contrast, a typical private car is shared between two unique users.

El Cerrito was previously served by two car share companies: Zipcar and Gig Car Share, both of which withdrew from the City in 2024. Gig Car Share ended operations in all markets due to shifting travel patterns and rising costs, while Zipcar paused operations at several Bay Area locations, including its two El Cerrito locations, to address operational and safety issues, which have since been resolved. To support the City’s sustainable transportation policies, City staff engaged Zipcar to discuss returning service to El Cerrito and identified an opportunity to site a Zipcar in a designated onstreet parking space on the east side of Kearney Street south of Manila Avenue, fronting the California Department of Motor Vehicles (6400 Manila Avenue).

ANALYSIS
Because of car share’s proven sustainable mobility benefits, many public agencies allow car share operators curb access in the public right-of-way, including public parking. The City is no exception. Between 2022 and 2024, the City created a pilot program agreement that authorized Gig Car Share to operate in the City, joining Gig’s broader service area in the Bay Area. Gig operated a “one-way” service model where members could end their rentals at most public parking spaces within the service area and start trips by using an app to find nearby cars.

Agenda Packet Page 212 of 375
Agenda Item No. 7.I.

Prior to the end of Gig service in 2024, Gig’s data showed strong demand for car share in El Cerrito. During an average month, each Gig vehicle was shared by 11 unique users who took an average of 1.4 trips per vehicle per day, meaning that each vehicle was shared among many users and was not sitting idle for long periods of time, both important benchmarks for successful car share markets. Gig representatives confirmed to City staff that El Cerrito demand was meeting their expectations, but a range of factors ultimately led to Gig's decision to end service in all markets, including shifting travel patterns following COVID-19 shelter-in-place mandates, increasing costs, and changes in business strategy and priorities from Gig's parent company, AAA.

In contrast to Gig’s “one-way” service model, Zipcar employs a "round trip" service model where vehicles are positioned at designated parking spaces and members start and end trips at the same location. Zipcar is looking to reactivate its two prior El Cerrito locations, one at each of the City’s BART station rider parking lots, later this year.

Zipcar’s BART station locations, however, leave a gap in coverage for the Midtown area. To serve this area, City staff and Zipcar representatives identified one on-street parking space along the east side of Kearney Street south of Manila Avenue fronting the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) as an ideal site for a designated Zipcar location.

This location would serve residents and employees alike. City Hall and DMV employees who commute to work without a vehicle could use Zipcar for daytime appointments or errands, while residents of nearby multifamily buildings such as Cerrito Vista, Civic Plaza, Village at Town Center, and complexes along Liberty Street would now have access to a shared vehicle. By designating one on-street parking space for Zipcar, the vehicle would be shared among many users and support the City’s mobility objectives to provide transportation choices, reducing driving and parking demand.

The relationship between Zipcar and the City is shaped by the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and documented by an agreement between the two parties. CVC Section 22507.1 authorizes a local authority to designate, by ordinance or resolution, certain public parking spaces for the exclusive use of motor vehicles participating in a car share vehicle program, while the agreement defines the terms and conditions of Zipcar’s use of the public right-of-way, which will be reviewed and approved by the City Manager and City Attorney per El Cerrito Municipal Code Chapter 13.12.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization; and
• Livability and Belonging; and
• Infrastructure and Amenities; and
• Environmental Sustainability.

Agenda Item No. 7.I.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Adopting this resolution is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The actions contemplated consist of maintenance and operation of existing facilities and authorization of use of those facilities (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301).

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Zipcar is required, at their sole cost, to install and maintain (and in the event service ends, remove) all parking signage and markings to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed and the proposed action and found that legal considerations have been addressed. The City Attorney will review and approve the final form of the agreement between the City and Zipcar that outlines the terms and conditions of Zipcar’s use of the public right-of-way.

Subject: Amendment to Agreement with Napa Recycling and Waste Services, LLC (NRWS) for Commingled Recyclable Materials Processing Services

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend the agreement with Napa Recycling and Waste Services, LLC (NRWS) for commingled recyclable materials processing services to extend the contract term by six months through December 31, 2025, in an amount not to exceed $110,000.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City of El Cerrito operates the City’s recycling programs, including the curbside recycling collection for El Cerrito residents and businesses and the daily operations of the Recycling + Environmental Resource Center (Recycling Center).

In the spring of 2019, the City requested proposals from recyclable materials processors within reasonable distance of El Cerrito. Based on evaluation of the four submitted proposals, NRWS was found to provide the best value to the City. As a result, on June 18, 2019, the City Council approved an agreement with NRWS to process (namely to sort, bale, market, and transport) the commingled recyclable materials from the City’s curbside collection (Resolution 2019-39).

On June 16, 2020, the City Council approved a First Amendment to the agreement that increased the pricing from $25 to $55 per ton to incorporate additional government fees from the City of Napa and extended the term through June 30, 2021 (Resolution 2020- 35). On June 1, 2021, the City Council approved a Second Amendment to the Agreement, extending the term through June 30, 2022, and with no change in the pricing (Resolution 2021-28). On June 21, 2022, the City Council approved a new oneyear agreement with NRWS that would annually renew for two successive one-year terms through June 30, 2025 (Resolution 2022-45). Both in 2020 and 2022, City staff engaged R3 Consulting Group Inc., a solid waste consulting firm, to confirm that pricing terms with NRWS were the most competitive available to the City. Even considering higher operational costs for transportation and staff time, NRWS’s price of $55 per ton remained the most competitive total price given the market conditions.

Agenda Packet Page 217 of 375
Agenda Item No. 7.J.

On April 1, 2025, the City Council authorized the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority (Authority), also known as RecycleMore, to negotiate and enter into a regional post-collection agreement for solid waste including garbage, recycling, and green waste (Resolution 2025-20). In the prior fall, RecycleMore released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for post-collection services for the RecycleMore service area, which is comprised of the cities of El Cerrito, San Pablo, Richmond, Pinole, and Hercules and parts of unincorporated Contra Costa County. El Cerrito was included in the RecycleMore RFP because the City is interested in joining the regional PCA due to the potential economies of scale for the City, RecycleMore, and the other RecycleMore member agencies. RecycleMore received a sole proposal from Republic Services, reviewed the proposal, and requested authorization to begin negotiations with Republic Services. Negotiations are underway and are not expected to be completed for several months.

In the interim, the City must maintain services to process commingled recyclable materials from its curbside collection. City staff have been satisfied with the performance of NRWS under the agreement, and NRWS has been pleased with the quality of El Cerrito’s material. Both parties desire to extend the agreement and NRWS has offered to maintain the current rate of compensation of $55 per ton, which is still competitive. As a result, City staff propose that the term of the agreement with NRWS be extended by six months through December 31, 2025, for a not-to-exceed amount of $110,000. This expiration date would align with that of the City’s current post-collection agreement for the processing of curbside garbage and green waste.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization by ensuring the lowest possible cost for the processing of recyclable material, and
• Infrastructure and Amenities; by maintaining an emphasis on providing excellent customer service and by ensuring the City’s solid waste programs, including recycling services, are delivered in a continuous and dependable manner, and • Environmental Sustainability by continuing to invest in the City’s recycling programs and serving El Cerrito community members as they continue to divert waste from the landfill.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
All jurisdictions in California are required by law to provide recycling services for their residents and businesses through mandates established by AB 989, AB 341, and most recently SB 1383. In particular, SB 1383 mandates higher recycling and organics diversion compliance and required local governments to make recycling mandatory for all solid waste generators. Reliable and proper disposal, processing, and diversion of solid waste is necessary to protect the health and welfare of the community and environment. Contracting with NRWS for the processing of the City’s curbside material will ensure the continuity of the City’s recycling programs.

Agenda Item No. 7.J.

Pursuant to Title 14, the California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, the proposed action is an administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment. It is also exempt from review under Guidelines Section 15301 for operation of existing facilities.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Funding for the costs to process the City’s commingled recyclable materials has been incorporated into the Integrated Waste Management (IWM) Fee setting effective January 1, 2025 (Resolution 2024-89) and are included in the IWM Fund as part of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed action and found that legal considerations have been addressed.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.K.

Date: June 17, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Christina Leard, Management Analyst III; Amelia Timbers, Operations & Environmental Services Division Manager; Yvetteh Ortiz, Public Works Director/City Engineer, Public Works Department
Subject: Amendment to Agreement with East Bay Sanitary Company, Inc. for Street Sweeping Services

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with East Bay Sanitary Company, Inc. for street sweeping services to extend the contract term by one additional year through June 30, 2026, in an amount not to exceed $112,716.19.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Per the terms of the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Regional Permit (MRP), the City of El Cerrito (City) is responsible for keeping its streets, gutters, storm drains, creeks, and waterways free of trash, debris and other pollutants. Trash, debris, and other pollutants on City streets can easily be mobilized by rain and wind to gutters and storm drain inlets, ending up in storm drain pipes flowing to creeks and the San Francisco Bay. Regular street sweeping of residential and commercial streets is an effective method of removing trash, debris, and other pollutants from City streets before they can enter the storm drain system.

After a Request for Proposals (RFP) process in November 2014, the City of El Cerrito City Council (Resolution No. 2014-71) approved an agreement with East Bay Sanitary Company Inc. (“Contractor”) to provide street sweeping services in an amount not to exceed $86,132.76 adjusted for Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases through June 30, 2020, with automatic extensions of up to five additional one-year terms. The contract period will expire as of June 30, 2025. Accounting for CPI increases, the current contract amount is $110,074.40 in Fiscal Year 2024-25.

City staff propose that the term of the agreement be extended by one year through June 30, 2026, to allow staff sufficient time and flexibility to conduct another RFP process for street sweeping services. The Contractor has agreed to continue to provide the services provided in Exhibit A of the original Agreement, adjusted for a CPI of 2.4% in the amount of $2,641.79 (October 2024 for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose All Items Consumer Price Index).

Agenda Packet Page 225 of 375
Agenda Item No. 7.K.

To improve the effectiveness of street sweeping as part of a separate effort, City staff are investigating the implementation and enforcement of parking restrictions for street sweeping purposes as part of the El Cerrito Parking Management Action Plan (PMAP), which is being developed to modernize the City’s on-street parking program in preparation for the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station Transit Oriented Development. In the meantime, staff is developing updated outreach and education to residents about the street sweeping program to increase awareness and participation.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• Infrastructure and Amenities; and
• Environmental Sustainability.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The regular street sweeping services of East Bay Sanitary Company, Inc. are an effective method of removing trash, debris, and other pollutants from City streets before they can enter the storm drain system. This proposed action is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it continues current maintenance of existing roads (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301).

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Fiscal Year 2025-26 funding for street sweeping services is available as follows:
• General Fund in the amount of $110,074.40 (same as in Fiscal Year 2024-25) • National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System in the amount of $2,641.79 for a 2.4% CPI increase.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed this action and found that legal considerations have been addressed.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 8.A.

Date: June 17, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Thomas Wade, Fire Prevention Officer; Chase Beckman, Fire Marshal, Fire Department
Subject: Fire Hazard Abatement Hearing and Declaration

ACTION PROPOSED
Staff requests that the City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution declaring weeds, rubbish, litter, or other flammable material on certain real property identified in the resolution constitutes a public nuisance; and

2. Conduct a public hearing and upon conclusion, adopt a resolution overriding objections by property owners and ordering the City Manager or their designee to abate certain public nuisances pursuant to El Cerrito Municipal Code Chapter

16.26. BACKGROUND
Following the Oakland/Berkeley Hills Fire in October 1991, El Cerrito needed a comprehensive citywide program to reduce hill area fire hazards in the City. The "fire storm" in the Oakland/Berkeley Hills was in fact an urban conflagration, fueled by vegetation among homes and large acreage properties that was driven by seasonally strong dry winds from the east. The fire destroyed over 3,000 dwellings. At the time of the Oakland/Berkeley Hills Fire, El Cerrito faced similar fire hazard conditions in its hill area. The City Council was determined to reduce those fire hazards by all reasonable means.

El Cerrito's comprehensive fire hazard reduction program focused upon reducing fire hazards in four areas: (1) on City property, (2) on property owned by other agencies (3) large landowners and (4) on residential property. The City began a comprehensive planning process to reduce fire hazards on City property, other agencies’ properties and large landholders. These property owners were approached about reducing fire hazards on their properties. Prior efforts at fire hazard reduction on private residential property relied on voluntary compliance by the owners. The City Council concluded that stronger measures were necessary to enforce the laws regarding abatement of fire hazards on residential private property.

The Fire Hazard Abatement Program is designed to reduce fire hazards on a large number of private properties during the spring and early summer months. A process of advance notice and hearings for property owners is coupled with a public education program involving the promulgation of standards for vegetation management in Agenda Packet Page 231 of 375
Agenda Item No. 8.A.
residents’ yards and vacant lots.

This program seeks to remove weeds, rubbish, litter or other flammable material from private properties where such flammable material endangers the public safety by creating a public nuisance and a fire hazard.

Most property owners voluntarily abate these hazards without Fire Department involvement. However, we anticipate that a small number of owners are content to have the City do the work and place the costs on their tax bill. For 30 years, the City’s annual Fire Hazard Abatement Program has been very successful in reducing fire hazards throughout the hill neighborhoods of El Cerrito. Indeed, this program has become a model program which other fire jurisdictions have borrowed from.

ANALYSIS
Beginning in April of this year, the Fire Department conducted fire hazard inspections with a focus on the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (as last adopted). The inspections began on April 9th and have continued due to re-growth and citizen complaints. As a result of the on-going inspections, a list of properties containing public nuisances was generated, which continues to be amended as additional properties are identified. Between April 24th and May 1st, the identified properties determined to be in violation of El Cerrito Municipal Code Chapter 16.26 were notified in writing of the hazards on their property and to abate those hazardous conditions. The El Cerrito Vegetation Management Standards Checklist was included with the notification (Attachment 6). Additionally, these property owners were informed in the letter from the Fire Marshal (Attachment 4) of the time, date, and location of the upcoming City Council meeting where their properties would be declared a public nuisance and abatement would be ordered. Property owners were directed to complete the necessary measures to bring their property into compliance prior to the second round of the re-inspection process which began in May 27th and continued through the date of the June 17, 2025 meeting. Only those properties that were not voluntarily abated with the first notice are contained within the Master Abatement List, Exhibit A to the proposed Resolution (List of Properties.)
This public hearing is the next step in the process to eliminate hazards on private properties that were identified as a public nuisance and have not voluntarily abated said violations. In order to achieve full compliance, the City Council is asked to declare the properties to be a public nuisance and direct the City Manager or their designee to abate such public nuisance conditions. Actual City-ordered abatement of fire hazards occurs only after all efforts at providing notice, information, and a public hearing have failed to induce voluntary compliance by the property owner.

The Fire Hazard Abatement process, under the direction of the Fire Department, should proceed according to El Cerrito Municipal Code Chapter 16.26, which specifies the following:

1. The Fire Department determines that hazards must be abated. Pursuant to these Agenda Packet Page 232 of 375
Agenda Item No. 8.A.
code sections, "hazards" are defined as weeds, rubbish, litter, or other flammable materials which create a fire hazard or are otherwise noxious or dangerous and which exist on specific parcels of property within the City.

2. The Fire Department shall post notice on each property or send notice /by mail that the El Cerrito Fire Department has determined the existence of a public nuisance which must be abated and that a hearing will be held to consider any objections prior to the City Council declaring the properties to be a public nuisance and ordering the City Manager or their designee to perform abatement.

3. At the June 17, 2025 City Council meeting, the City Council shall first adopt a resolution Declaring that Weeds, Rubbish, Litter, or Other Flammable Material on Certain Real Property Constitutes a Public Nuisance (Attachment 1 and 2).

4. At the same meeting, but after adoption of the first resolution, the City Council shall conduct a public hearing to hear and consider all objections to declaration of public nuisances or the procedures proposed for abatement of the same. After the hearing, the Council shall adopt a resolution Overriding Objections by Property Owners and Ordering the City Manager or their Designee to Abate Certain Public Nuisances Pursuant to Chapter 16.26 (Attachment 3).

5. At the conclusion of the June 17, 2025 hearing, a second and final notice shall be sent to each property owner prior to abatement (Attachment 7). This notice will order the immediate abatement of nuisance conditions. This notice will clearly state that if nuisance conditions are ignored, the City shall cause abatement and costs for removal will be assessed against the property as a lien and special assessment. It will also indicate that if the conditions are voluntarily abated, the property shall be removed from the process.

6. If the nuisance is not abated between June 18, 2025 and July 16, 2025, prior to the arrival of the hazard abatement crew, the City of El Cerrito shall cause the weeds, rubbish, refuse, and other flammable material to be removed and shall keep an account of the cost of abatement for each parcel of land where such work is performed according to the City Council adopted Fire Department Master Fee Schedule.

7. At the August 19, 2025 City Council meeting the City Manager or their designee shall submit to the City Council for confirmation an itemized written report showing the cost of abatement work performed. A copy of this report shall be posted for at least ten (10) days prior to its submission to the City Council. Each property owner upon whose property abatement work was performed shall be sent written notice by mail of a hearing by the City Council to consider the cost of abatement work performed on their property.

8. At the City Council Meeting on August 19, 2025, the City Council shall receive and consider the written staff report on abatement actions taken by the City and shall hear any objections from the property owners liable to be assessed for the abatement. The City Council may modify the cost report if deemed appropriate and then confirm the report by motion or resolution.

9. After City Council confirmation of the report, a certified copy of the report shall be filed with the Contra Costa County auditor-tax collector who shall add the amount Agenda Packet Page 233 of 375
Agenda Item No. 8.A.
of the assessment to the next regular tax bill levied against the parcel.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization; and
• Community Safety.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Fire Hazard Abatement Program is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15304 and 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further CEQA review is required.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The abatement program will be administered by Fire Department staff with minimum costs expended for printing and mailing. Abatement work will be completed by City maintenance staff or private contract labor as appropriate. Program costs will be recovered through the special assessment and lien process.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the process.

NOTICE TO DESTROY WEEDS AND REMOVE

RUBBISH, REFUSE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
On June 17, 2025 the El Cerrito City Council declared that your property in the City of El Cerrito, designated above by address and parcel number, constitutes a public nuisance because of the presence of weeds, rubbish, litter or other flammable material which creates a fire hazard, a menace to the public health, or is otherwise noxious or dangerous.

A previous notice was sent to you informing you of the June 17, 2025 hearing and further informing you of your obligation to remove the weeds, rubbish, refuse and other flammable material from your property. If you do not immediately abate these nuisance conditions, the City will do so and the costs for removal of the weeds, rubbish, refuse and other flammable material will be assessed against your property as a lien and special assessment. These removal costs shall then be collected in the time and in the manner of ordinary municipal taxes.

You will not receive any further notices from the City prior to this removal. The City shall perform this removal either through its own staff or through private contract sometime between the dates of July 15, 2025 to July 31, 2025. It is impossible to predict what it will cost the City to remove these nuisance conditions from your property. The costs depend on the severity of those conditions. In past years these abatement costs have sometimes exceeded $8,000 per parcel for those parcels with severe nuisance conditions
The City Council will conduct a public hearing on August 19, 2025 to confirm the cost of the abatement work performed on your property. The meeting may be held both via teleconference and in the El Cerrito City Council Chambers at 10890 San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito at 6:00 p.m. Please refer to the agenda for meeting information at www.elcerrito.org/CouncilMeetingMaterials. During this public hearing you will be given the opportunity to voice objections regarding the report and the assessment of the abatement costs for your property. At this hearing you will also be given the opportunity to object, protest and/or present evidence to support your arguments.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

Date: June 17, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Chase Beckman, Fire Marshal; Eric Saylors, Fire Chief, Fire Department Subject: An Ordinance regarding Defensible Space and Home Hardening Inspections within the High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones as Designated by CalFire and Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones

ACTION PROPOSED
Conduct a public hearing and, upon conclusion, introduce an Ordinance titled:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EL CERRITO AMENDING CHAPTER 8.30 OF

THE EL CERRITO MUNICIPAL CODE TO DESIGNATE FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 51179 AND TO

ESTABLISH PROCEDURES FOR DEFENSIBLE SPACE AND HOME HARDENING

INSPECTIONS WITHIN THE HIGH AND VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES

BACKGROUND
California continues to experience increasingly severe and frequent wildfires that threaten lives, property, and infrastructure in communities with Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI). Scientific research and post-fire assessments have demonstrated that home hardening and vegetation management immediately surrounding a house significantly reduce the risk of ignition from embers cast during wildfires. The City of El Cerrito continues to promote home-hardening strategies and vegetation management that reduce structural loss during wildfires. In addition, the City of El Cerrito continually supports proactive wildfire risk reduction by aligning local regulations with state laws.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) identifies areas at elevated wildfire risk through Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps. These maps classify land into Moderate, High, and Very High fire hazard categories based on fuel load, slope, topography, access, and historical fire data. Maps are produced for State Responsibility Areas (SRAs), primarily wildlands where CAL FIRE has primary jurisdiction, and Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs), areas managed by local governments. The new maps, released in February by the California State Fire Marshal, cover areas under the jurisdiction of all local fire departments and assign comparative levels of varying fire-hazard severity based on climate and topography. Under state law, the City is required to adopt or incorporate the new hazard designations of Moderate, High, and Very High into local ordinances within 120 days, to inform and guide local land-use planning, code enforcement and wildfire risk mitigation strategies.

Agenda Packet Page 246 of 375
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

Assembly Bill 38 (AB 38) requires sellers of real property located in High or Very High FHSZs to obtain a defensible space inspection and provide a disclosure report to the buyer about the home's fire-hardening improvements and potential vulnerabilities from wildfire prior to the sale. A mandated home inspection at the time of sale allows the fire department to issue a certificate of compliance or a written report detailing noncompliance to the buyer showing whether or not the property meets defensible space and home hardening requirements within the Public Resources Code and the California Code of Regulations.

The proposed ordinance for the City Council's consideration (Attachment 1) not only adopts the updated fire hazard severity zone (FHSZ) maps, but also creates local requirements to further protect the City from wildfires and provide a mechanism for compliance with AB 38. While the City already has a robust vegetation management program, this ordinance also updates vegetation management standards (including "Zone Zero"), repeals outdated roofing requirements for properties in very high FHSZs, and creates a local requirement for owners of real property in high or very high FHSZs to have a home hardening and defensible space inspection completed and to disclose the result of that inspection to buyers before prior to the time of sale per AB 38. The ordinance will align the City of El Cerrito with state law, decrease our vulnerability to wildfires, and assist residents in maintaining home insurance.

ANALYSIS
The proposed ordinance adopts the updated FHSZ maps per state law, which indicate which areas in the City are classified as Very High, High, and Moderate hazard areas.

In addition, the ordinance sets forth the following elements:

AB 38 Home Inspections Prior to Sale
AB 38 requires inspections and disclosures for real estate transactions in wildfire-prone areas. The law applies to real properties in High and Very High FHSZs. It requires sellers to provide documentation disclosing the result of inspections to buyers indicating whether the property complies with the vegetation management and home hardening requirements of Public Resources Code Section 4291 or local vegetation management ordinances.

El Cerrito's current annual fire hazard inspection program includes inspections that require the removal of dead plants, trees trimmed back from structures, trees limbed to 6 feet above the ground, and six-foot separation of shrubs, trees, and vegetation in alignment with California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14, Section 1299.01. This ordinance will require a more thorough inspection by the Fire Department prior to sale to ensure the property meets the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 4291 and the implementing regulations from the CCR in High and Very High FHSZs.

Agenda Packet Page 247 of 375
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

Vegetation Management
The ordinance requires that any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains a building or structure within the City must maintain the building or structure in conformance with the vegetation management standards established by the applicable defensible space and harm hardening requirements of Public Resources Code Section 4291, Government Code Section 51182, CCR Title 14 Sections 1299.01-1299.05, and any other state regulations adopted pursuant to these codes and any regulations adopted by the City, as each is amended from time to time.

Roofing Requirements
The ordinance repeals an outdated requirement for properties within the Very High FHSZ to maintain a roof covering that is at least Class B as defined in the Uniform Building Code as adopted and amended by the State Building Standards Commission.

This requirement is out of compliance with the City’s updated Building Code, which requires that all properties within the City maintain Class A coverings.

Certificate of Compliance
A certificate of compliance is a formal document issued by the local fire authority confirming that a property meets the local and state wildfire requirements. Key elements of compliance include a Class A roof (the highest fire rating for roofing materials), a 5- foot ember-resistant zone, ember-resistant vents, enclosed eaves, and multi-paned windows. (These elements include standards set by Public Resources Code 4291 and its implementing regulations, the Building Code, and local standards.) After inspection by the Fire Department, the Department will issue a certificate of compliance or a written report detailing areas of noncompliance, which must be provided to the buyer of a property prior to its sale. The certificates of compliance will be valid for 90 days and can be given to the homeowner's insurance company, validating their efforts in home hardening and vegetation management. A certificate of compliance may help homeowners maintain insurance and may qualify them for a discount on annual premiums.

In addition, the inspections allow the Fire Department to help the homeowner understand any corrective actions needed to achieve a certificate of compliance. The Fire Department will maintain a database of inspected and certified properties so the City can quantify the progress of wildfire hardening efforts in El Cerrito.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization; and
• Community Safety; and
• Livability and Belonging; and
• Infrastructure and Amenities; and
• Environmental Sustainability
Agenda Packet Page 248 of 375
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
This action is exempt from CEQA under the "General Rule" exemption (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the adoption of the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. In fact, the proposed ordinance may reduce environmental impacts by enhancing fire prevention.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
There may be minor administrative costs associated with inspections and enforcement, offset by inspection fees or state grants for wildfire resilience. Long-term cost savings are anticipated through reduced fire suppression costs and property loss.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed this report and the ordinance and found that all legal requirements have been met.

EL CERRITO MUNICIPAL CODE TO DESIGNATE FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 51179 AND TO ESTABLISH

PROCEDURES FOR DEFENSIBLE SPACE AND HOME HARDENING INSPECTIONS

WITHIN THE HIGH AND VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES WHEREAS, California continues to experience increasingly severe and frequent wildfires that threaten lives, property, infrastructure, and ecosystems, particularly in Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) and classified Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZs); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 51178, the State Fire Marshal identifies areas in the state as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 51179 requires the City to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high and very high fire severity zones in its jurisdiction within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.

WHEREAS, defensible space is an area where flammable material is removed or reduced to help protect people, homes, and communities from wildfire.

WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 38 (AB 38), effective January 1, 2021, promotes wildfire resilience by requiring sellers of real property located in high or very high FHSZs to provide buyers with documentation regarding compliance with applicable defensible space standards prior to the sale of the home.

WHEREAS, the City of El Cerrito (“City”) has further advanced fire risk mitigation through the promotion of home hardening strategies, which involve retrofitting buildings with ignition-resistant materials and design features proven to reduce structural loss during wildfires; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 51182, Public Resources Code Section 4291, and 14 Cal. Code Regs. Sections 1299.01-1299.05 establish defensible space standards for the 5-30 feet surrounding a property (“Zone 1”) to reduce wildfire risk by minimizing flammable materials and maintaining vegetation in a way that slows fire spread as well as standards for the 30-100 feet surrounding a property (“Zone 2”) to slow the spread of wildfire by reducing the amount of vegetation that could fuel flames.

WHEREAS, scientific research and post-fire assessments have demonstrated that the 0-5 feet immediately surrounding a property (“Zone Zero”) is the most vulnerable area to windborne embers and flame contact, and that keeping this area free of combustible material significantly reduces the risk of structural ignition; and WHEREAS, the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection will adopt regulations providing standards for Zone Zero by December 31, 2025 focusing on ember resistance and the removal of combustible materials adjacent to or touching a structure.

Agenda Packet Page 250 of 375
WHEREAS, the City supports proactive wildfire risk reduction and seeks to align local regulations with state law by adopting defensible space and home hardening measures that include Zone Zero standards; and
WHEREAS, the City will issue a certificate of compliance to owners of real property upon successful completion of a defensible space and home hardening inspection, providing formal documentation of fire safety compliance as required under AB 38; and WHEREAS, establishing the City’s authority to conduct AB 38 inspections and issuance of certificates of compliance will streamline real estate transactions, enhance public safety, and promote community wide wildfire resilience.

WHEREAS, the City will coordinate with CAL FIRE, the California State Fire Marshal and other relevant agencies to ensure consistency with state programs and to share data, best practices, and compliance information as needed.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CERRITO DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 9.A.

Date: June 17, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Crystal Reams, Finance Director/City Treasurer, Finance Department Subject: CITY COUNCIL/PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY ITEM
Approval of the City's Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget Update and Spending Authority by Fund for the City, Public Financing Authority, and Approval of the FY 2025-26 Annual Gann Appropriation Limit.

ACTION PROPOSED
Staff requests that the City Council:

1. Adopt a City Council resolution authorizing Fiscal Year 2025-26 spending authority by fund for the City of El Cerrito

2. Adopt an El Cerrito Public Financing Authority resolution authorizing Fiscal Year 2025-26 spending authority by fund

3. Adopt a City Council resolution approving the calculation and establishing the FY 2025-26 annual Gann appropriation limit

BACKGROUND
On June 18, 2024, the City Council adopted the Proposed Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2024-25 and 2025-26 by Resolution No. 2024-46. The budget included the operating and capital budgets for the City of El Cerrito, the Public Financing Authority, and the Employee Pension Board. The Employee Pension Board has no surviving members and has no budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The City's Strategic Plan continues to provide the foundation for developing the updated Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Biennial Budget
The annual budget is the City's service and financial plan for the fiscal year: a planning tool that matches the services described by the community to the resources required in order to provide those services. The City Council adopted a biennial budget beginning in FY 2024-25 that encompassed two fiscal years. The biennial budget allowed staff to provide a high emphasis on long-term planning and forecasting and provided a greater opportunity to focus on how the City's programs and services are working and complying with the Strategic Plan.

The biennial budget also reduced resources associated with annual budgeting, allowing staff the ability to focus on pressing priorities rather than producing a budget book. The previously approved budget document provides a plan that outlines how resources will be utilized to achieve the City's goals; however, adoption of the spending authority provides the legal authority to expend City revenues to realize these objectives. While Agenda Packet Page 255 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.A.
the budget document incorporates two fiscal years, the City Council is required per the El Cerrito Municipal Code to adopt and appropriate an annual budget for each fiscal year.

On June 3, 2025 staff presented an updated budget for FY 2025-26 based on actual financial performance to date, current levels of service, and recommendations for the next fiscal year. The City Council is requested to consider approval of the FY 2025-26 budget and spending authority.

ANALYSIS
General Fund Projected Fiscal Year 2024-25 and Proposed 2025-26 Budget In April 2025, staff presented the third quarter budget update for FY 2024-25 and projected a General Fund reserve balance of $21.8 million. Table 1 below shows that the adopted FY 2025-26 General Fund budget has a $15,775 surplus with a year-end reserve ratio of 40.5%. There are no proposed updates to the General Fund budget for expenditures or revenue, only transfers between departments to absorb increased cost projections.

A detailed General Fund balance projection is included in Attachment 5, showing the current trends of the General Fund that incorporate the FY 2025-26 budget (including the action taken on June 3, 2025 for one-time expenditures). As previously discussed, staff will be conducting a Service Delivery Study as well as doing further budget analysis in order to address any projected future deficits and to ensure compliance with the City's Comprehensive Financial Policies.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The proposed expenditures for the FY 2025-26 CIP Budget are shown in Table 2. CIP expenditure increases total $5,003,759 and revenue increases total $1,620,000.

Currently the CIP has 33 identified projects, including 20 active projects that are either in construction, design, or ongoing planning. Estimated FY 2025-26 expenditures total approximately $7.8 million for all projects. A variety of projects for transportation, recreation facilitates, Ohlone Greenway, and storm drain repairs are underway. The largest projects include Swim Center repairs and modifications, annual Street Improvement Program, Street & Sidewalk Access Modifications, and the Richmond Streets Complete Streets Improvement Project (led by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority).

Agenda Packet Page 256 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.A.

The CIP Budget table identifies the appropriation of expenditures in various funds. The table also lists the projects to be funded by the City's Measure A Street Improvement Fund (Fund 211), which constitutes the Annual Program of Maintenance and Improvement pursuant to Measure A approved by the votes in 2008, which is updated annually.

Special Revenue and Debt Service and Enterprise Funds
Table 3 provides a summary of the change in fund balance for all other Special Agenda Packet Page 257 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.A.

Revenue, Debt Service and Enterprise Funds. The revenue and expenditure estimates for each of these funds are as per the adopted budget, except where minor revisions were needed due to timing of purchases or projects. Total increases in expenditures of $4,355,371, and an increase of $1,620,000 to revenues. Increases are due to SEIU labor agreement increases and various updates due to the timing of purchases or projects. Attachment 4 outlines all changes on a line item basis with department comments.

Gann Appropriations Limit
Included in the recommended actions for adoption of the FY 2025-26 budget is the approval of the calculation and to establish the City's FY 2025-26 Gann Appropriation Limit as $195,961,530. Approved in 1979 and amended in 1990, the Gann Initiative sets an annual appropriation limit on City expenditures of specified revenues. This amount is adjusted each year based on changes in population and inflation. The California Government Code requires that the City adopt the Gann appropriations limit by resolution on an annual basis. In FY 2025-26, the respective State and County offices have provided the City with the following factors to establish the Gann limit computation:

Cost of Living
California Per Capita Personal Income = 6.44%
Population
Population Change, City of El Cerrito = (0.31%)
Population Change, County of Contra Costa = 0.00%
Next Steps
The resolutions for the City's spending authority and Gann Limit are presented for the City Council's consideration, and staff recommend approval of the Proposed FY2025- Agenda Packet Page 258 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.A.
26 Budget as amended. The City Council may choose to adopt the FY 2025-26 Budget as amended or provide further direction to staff.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City's Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization; and
• Community Safety; and
• Livaability and Belonging; and
• Infrastructure and Amenities; and
• Environmental Sustainability

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
This section is not applicable to this agenda item.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
With all funds combined, the Amended FY 2025-26 Budget recommends total expenditures of $74,859,180 an increase of $6,015,388 and provides funding for all City services, including Police, Fire, Recreation, Community Development, Public Works, and City Management. At this time, total revenues are projected to be $69,497,298 an increase of $1,660,000. These funds will continue to be monitored and updated as the impacts of inflation and uncertain economic conditions continue.

For FY 2025-26, staff is proposing a General Fund budget with revenues of $53,779,792 and expenditures of $53,764,017, resulting in a surplus of $15,775; no change from the originally adopted budget presented on June 18, 2024.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
Approval of the attached resolutions is required to adopt the City's spending authority for Fiscal Year 2025-26. In addition to the Gann limit appropriation, there is also a separate resolution for the City's component unit which also must be considered and is presented for approval: the Public Financing Authority. The City Council is obligated to adopt a budget, including spending authority and Gann limit appropriation, by June 30, 2025.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 9.B.

Date: June 17, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Crystal Reams, Finance Director/City Treasurer, Finance Department Subject: Spending Authority for Certain Vendors Expected to Exceed $45,000 for FY 2025-26

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution approving spending authority for vendors expected to exceed $45,000 in Fiscal Year 2025-26.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Resolution 2017-71A, adopted by the City Council on October 3, 2017, authorizes the City Manager to purchase goods and services and enter into professional services agreements in amounts not to exceed $45,000 without City Council authorization, and further requires that purchases and professional service agreements of more than $45,000 for any one vendor in any one fiscal year must be approved by the City Council. Each fiscal year, the City Council affirms the requirement for the single vendor threshold of $45,000 in its resolution adopting the annual budget. Additionally, the City's Procurement Policy (Administrative Policy III-1) sets guidelines and requirements for purchases of goods and services using City funds that conform with the approval thresholds set by the City Council and outlines the procedures for the use of purchase orders. Services performed for the City require a contract and insurance verification, while purchases of goods and supplies typically do not.

As a part of Citywide efforts to improve accuracy, transparency, and compliance with City policies, staff identified a number of vendors with whom the City may need to spend over $45,000 in FY 2025-26. In accordance with the Procurement Policy, staff is seeking approval to make purchases estimated above $45,000 throughout the year with certain vendors for goods/supplies and Recreation Instructor services on an as-needed basis. All purchases included in this agenda bill for approval were included in the FY 2025-26 Budget and do not require additional appropriation authority from the City Council.

Goods & Supplies
The following purchases of goods and supplies are made on an as-needed basis in small amounts that would typically not come before the City Council for approval according to the City's Procurement Policy, but which cumulatively amount to over $45,000 in a single year with a specific vendor. Each vendor is selected per the Policy and based on excellence in quality, pricing, and availability.

Agenda Packet Page 296 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.B.
• Knorr ($103,000) - Pool maintenance and supplies. Knorr has been the City’s capital maintenance contractor at the El Cerrito Swim Center since it was renovated in 2004. There are very few contractors in Northern California that provide the level of service and expertise that Knorr provides who are additionally able to respond quickly to emergencies and thereby minimize pool closure times.

Staff periodically surveys pools in the Bay Area, the majority utilize Knorr Systems for their capital maintenance needs. The main exception to this is that some cities, mostly larger ones with several pools, utilize city staff for pool maintenance needs.
• LN Curtis ($120,000) - Public Safety equipment and clothing for the Fire and Police Departments. For the Fire Department, LN Curtis offers the best prices and customer service for our firefighter's turnouts, including timely sizing, service, and delivery. LN Curtis has also repeatedly demonstrated the ability to quickly turn around orders of essential police equipment. The ECPD relies on LN Curtis for a variety of equipment needs, including uniforms, leather gear, ballistic vests and helmets, and other specialty gear. LN Curtis is locally based in Walnut Creek, CA.
• Dell ($100,000) - Server infrastructure hardware, laptops, and desktop computers. This vendor consistently offers the best value under the Dell NASPO Computer Equipment PA for California contract (used by many public agencies, including the City of Oceanside and City College of San Francisco). The standardization on their computer equipment enables the IT department to be efficient in maintenance and monitoring, and improves uptime for City staff. • Folger Graphics ($60,000) - Interdepartmental printing and mailing services, including News & Views, the rECguide, and citywide public information efforts.

Costs have increased as the City has re-initiated critical public information efforts that were paused during the pandemic. Folger Graphics provides high-quality printing services to multiple departments citywide.
• CivicPlus ($50,000) - City, Recreation and Police website hosting, livestream and archive services for City Council meetings, agenda management, advisory body member management, accessibility services on our website, codification and management of our municipal code.

Fire Fleet Maintenance Service
The Fire Department does not expect to spend over $45,000 with all the listed vendors and will not exceed its Council-approved budget, but is seeking approval to ensure the appropriate authorization before repairs become urgent. All purchases included in this agenda bill for approval were included in the FY 2025-26 Budget and do not require additional appropriation authority from the City Council. • Alameda County Fire Department
• Cummings, Inc.
• Diego's Truck Repair
• Hi-Tech EVS, Inc.

Agenda Packet Page 297 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.B.
• Kelly's Truck Repair
• Peterson Trucks, Inc.

Recreation Instructors
Recreation Instructors are contracted to teach classes for the City and provide a wide range of offerings to the community. Instructors are paid on a cost-sharing basis, whereby they receive 60% of the revenue from class sign-ups and the City receives 40%. How much a Recreation Instructor is paid by the City annually depends on the frequency and popularity of their classes. A small number of Recreation Instructors regularly receive over $45,000 per year from the City through this revenue-sharing agreement structure. While these are not purchased services or supplies and all expenses are both budgeted for and offset by class fee revenues, staff feel that these contracts should come to City Council for approval to ensure compliance with the Procurement Policy.

The five instructors who staff expect to be paid over $45,000 in FY 2024-25 are:
• Norman Friedman ($162,000) - Norm Friedman is the Director of El Cerrito Sports Camp, providing 9-10 weeks of summer camp each summer.

FY 2024-25 Enrollments as of May: 671
• Stephanie Ramos ($50,000) - Stephanie Ramos is the Independent Contractor providing year-round Zumba and Zumba Gold to adults and seniors. Classes are offered daily, and in some cases 2-3 times per day.

FY 2024-25 Enrollments as of May: 382 + 507 purchased passes (*may be single class, 5 class pack, 10 class pack, or monthly unlimited) • Belinda Graul ($45,000) - Belinda Graul is our head Gymnastics Coach, offering 12 classes per week during the school year, and 6-7 weeks of camp each summer.

FY 2024-25 Enrollments as of May: 1042
• Ian McAvoy ($55,000) - Ian McAvoy is the owner of Off the Block STEM, providing specialized LEGO classes twice weekly throughout the school year in addition to school-break camps and summer camps.

FY 2024-25 Enrollments as of May: 425
• Mark Marcos Manqueros ($80,000) - Mark Marcos Manqueros is the owner/director of Crouching Tiger Tennis, providing year-round tennis classes and camps for youth and seasonal classes for adults.

FY 2024-25 Enrollments as of May: 433

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization; and
• Community Safety; and
• Livability and Belonging; and
Agenda Packet Page 298 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.B.
• Infrastructure and Amenities

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

All expenses referenced in this agenda bill were included within the FY 2024-25 Budget adopted by the City Council on June 18, 2024. The proposed expenditures require Council authorization because they are expected to exceed $45,000 with a single vendor in a single fiscal year, but there is no additional fiscal impact from adopting this resolution.

To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Roland Lambert, Associate Engineer, Public Works Department; Yvetteh Ortiz, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Subject: Construction Contract Award for 2025 Surface Seal Project, City Project No. C3027.24

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution approving plans and specifications for the 2025 Surface Seal Project, City Project No. C3027.24 (Project); acknowledging the sole bidder, Pavement Coating Co. (Pavement Coatings), as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; accepting the negotiated price from Pavement Coatings; and authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Pavement Coatings in the amount of $2,400,898.27 and to approve potential change orders in an amount not to exceed $240,100.

BACKGROUND
The 2025 Surface Seal Project, City Project No. C3027.24 is a component of the Measure A funded Annual Street Improvement Program. The Project generally implements the first year of a five-year pavement maintenance plan that groups El Cerrito streets into five geographical zones, as shown in Attachment 2. This first year focuses on the northernmost zone with some modifications, as shown in Attachment 3.

These include use of more cost-effective treatments on some segments, such an asphalt rubber cape seal (a chip seal covered by a slurry seal) in place of mill and overlay, the addition of traffic signing and striping enhancements at spot locations throughout the City in response to requests from community members, and the repair of a sunken section of roadway on 700 Sea View Drive. Overall, the work consists of patch paving, crack sealing, the application of either an asphalt rubber cape seal or a slurry seal treatment, installation of traffic striping and markings, minor concrete work, and other related work.

Below is the list of the 68 street segments that will be resurfaced as part of the Project.

Agenda Item No. 9.C.

In order to maintain flexibility within the bidding process—accounting for both the available project funding and the unique scope of work associated with 700 Sea View Drive—that component was identified as an Additive Alternate to the Base Bid, which comprises the remaining project elements.

The Notice Inviting Bids for the Project was advertised in the West County Times on April 8 and 15, 2025. Additionally, the notice along with a complete set of Contract Documents (including the Plans and Specifications) was sent to eight Builder and Construction Exchanges in the Bay Area and Northern California and made available for purchase through the BPXpress website, an online planroom used by the City. The notice was also posted on the City’s website. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held on April 22, 2025. One addendum was issued.

ANALYSIS
One bid was received on the advertised bid opening date and time of May 6, 2025, at 2 p.m. The bid was publicly opened and read by the City Clerk. The bid results are summarized below.

Name and
Location of Bidder
Base Bid Additive
Alternate Bid –
Sea View Drive
Total
Pavement Coatings
Co., Woodland
$2,861,057.22 $65,341.60 $2,926,399.12
Engineer’s Estimate $1,980,168.50 $ 44,560.00 $2,024,728.50 The total bid from Pavement Coatings is approximately 45% above the Engineer’s Estimate. This is the first City project subject to the Project Stabilization Agreement (PSA), also known as a Project Labor Agreement, approved by the City Council on August 16, 2022 (Resolution 2022-66). The PSA is an agreement with the Contra Costa Building and Construction Trades Council and its affiliated Unions to establish the terms and conditions of employment for work on public projects with an Engineer’s Estimate exceeding $1 million. The City Council approved the agreement in the interest of facilitating the delivery of City construction projects with minimal labor-related disruptions which would adversely impact the public and/or delay the project, being proactive regarding assuring quality wages on such projects, supporting and procuring from local businesses, and protecting and increasing quality jobs for local residents.

However, at the time of the PSA's approval, it was acknowledged that its implementation could adversely affect the City's bidding process by limiting the number of contractors that would submit bids, thereby potentially increasing the overall cost of projects. During the bidding process for the Project, a contractor who had previously been the lowest bidder on similar City projects stated they would not submit a bid due to the PSA. Additionally, recent bidding processes in other jurisdictions with PSAs have resulted in higher bid pricing as well. The City’s pavement consultant indicates that 30% increase in prices should be projected moving forward.

Agenda Packet Page 305 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.C.

City staff have considered two options:

1. Reject all bids, value-engineer the Project, and go out to bid again; or

2. Following consultation with the City Attorney, initiate negotiations with Pavement Coatings to reduce the total cost of the Project given that they were the sole responsible and responsive bidder. This approach is permissible under the Public Contract Code once the City has completed the competitive bidding process and received only one bid from a responsible and responsive bidder.

Considering the implementation of the PSA can be projected to increase costs by 30% along with other uncertainties in the bidding climate, limited time window for construction within the current year, and need to resurface these streets before they continue to deteriorate and the extent and cost of pavement repair work significantly increases, City staff initiated negotiations with Pavement Coatings. The negotiations resulted in a combination of reduced unit pricing and minor reductions in Project scope to lower the total cost by $525,500.85 to $2,400,898.27, including the Additive Alternative Bid.

City staff proposes that the City Council award the construction contract in the amount of $2,400,898.27 to Pavement Coatings as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. City staff also recommends that the City Council approve potential change orders in an amount not to exceed $240,100 for the construction of the Project.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• Infrastructure and Amenities.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Project is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) because the Project is a repair to an existing facility involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that presently existing. More specifically, restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged facilities to meet current standards of public health and safety, unless it is determined that the damage was substantial and resulted from an environmental hazard such as an earthquake, landslide, or flood, is exempt from CEQA.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Funding for construction of the Project is included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget and Capital Improvement Program under the Annual Street Improvement Program in the Measure A Street Improvement Fund.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 9.D.

Date: June 17, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Christopher Jones, Recreation Director, Recreation Department; Yvetteh Ortiz, Public Works Director/City Engineer, Public Works Department Subject: Consulting Services Agreement with Rogers Stringer & McClelland, Inc. for Swim Center Design Services

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Rogers Stringer & McClelland, Inc. (RSM) for the design of the Emery G. Weed, III Lap Pool's replaster, deck replacement, accessibility and egress improvements, parking lot electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and associated work in an amount not to exceed $220,000.

BACKGROUND
As reported at the May 20, 2025 City Council Meeting, extensive damage to the Emery G. Weed, III Lap Pool (Lap Pool) plaster was discovered in February 2025, including a large bubble that formed in the shallow section and several smaller cracks throughout the Lap Pool. Because this represents a safety and pool functionality issue, repairs need to be made as soon as possible to avoid a pool closure. City staff engaged the aquatic design and engineering firm Rogers Stringer & McClelland, Inc. (RSM) to review current conditions and prior assessments and develop the project scope, preliminary cost estimate, and construction timeline for necessary repairs and improvements.

RSM’s evaluation identified several issues in addition to the plaster damage. They noted significant signs of deterioration in the pool deck surrounding the Lap Pool such as cracks in the concrete and rust. Accessibility improvements, many of which have already been deferred in previous projects at the Swim Center, and egress upgrades will also be required to comply with the 2022 California Building Code. RSM also identified the opportunity to convert the existing cantilever gutters into deck-level gutters at the shallow end, which provides important safety benefits in addition to making this portion of the Lap Pool more family-friendly. Additionally, City staff in consultation with RSM, determined that incorporating the water slide installation into the Lap Pool project would be more cost-effective and efficient to implement versus doing these projects separately. Similarly, it had previously been determined that incorporating electric vehicle charging infrastructure as part of the parking lot accessibility upgrades would be cost-effective and efficient as part of a larger project.

At the June 3, 2025 City Council Meeting, the City Council authorized the contribution of $500,000 from the General Fund's unrestricted balance towards the design and construction of Lap Pool repairs.

Agenda Packet Page 312 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.D.

The preliminary cost estimate, including project management, design, and contingency, for the full scope described above is approximately $3.4 million. RSM also identified a phased construction approach, beginning with the replastering work as Phase 1. This addresses the most urgent need and qualifies as maintenance, thereby not triggering mandated ADA accessibility or egress upgrades in the initial phase. The full cost of this option is around $970,000. This figure is higher than the amount reported at the June 3, 2025 meeting because it now includes design, construction, all soft costs and contingencies.

Because of the disruption in programming that will occur regardless of which option is chosen, staff have been in touch with nearby pools to explore partnership opportunities that could keep programs (such as swim teams, water aerobics, lap swim and possibly swim lessons) going while the Swim Center is closed.

ANALYSIS
Design Contract
RSM, based in Walnut Creek, designed the Swim Center Activity Pool Replaster Project in 2023 and is the successor company to Rowley International, Inc., the original architects of the El Cerrito Swim Center when it was renovated in 2003 and 2004. They are one of the few local qualified firms capable of managing this type of project. Having worked with the City of El Cerrito for several years, they have a deep understanding of the Swim Center’s original design and how to modify it to comply with current regulations and codes. Due to the immediate safety issue and the potential for the Lap Pool to become non-functional in the near-term, staff contracted with RSM under the City Manager’s budget authority to begin exploratory work to determine design requirements. This was to address all the issues identified previously, while quickly developing project scoping options and cost estimates as described above.

To serve the best interests of the City, staff recommend continuing to work with RSM to develop the full project design because their expertise allows for a quick and smooth transition from exploratory work to refining design options, developing design and construction documents, and offering flexible construction timing, including the possibility of replastering this winter, depending on the chosen option. RSM has provided proposals for the design of required and desired elements for the Lap Pool project. The cost of design is an amount not to exceed $220,000.

Design elements include:
• Swimming Pool design & engineering, including replastering and other finishes and features necessary to provide a functional swimming pool; • Swimming Pool cantilevered deck structural design including deck joint layout, deck drainage plan, and deck elevation plans;
• Partial conversion of the existing cantilevered gutters to deck-level gutters in the shallow end of the Lap Pool, with associated structures, finishes, and deck work; Agenda Packet Page 313 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.D.
• Exiting and egress upgrades to the site to meet California Building Code requirements;
• Design of existing accessible parking modifications to meet current accessibility codes;
• Path of travel evaluation and improvements design from accessible parking to bathrooms, drinking fountains, exterior showers, building ramps and walkways; • Restroom facility, drinking fountain, and outdoor shower accessibility upgrades; • Coordination of Recreation Pool slide construction documents with waterside manufacturer;
• Design two stormwater bioretention planters to meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System requirements;
• Design of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) infrastructure that supports dual-port charging stations, including ADA-compliant access.

It should also be noted that while EVSE infrastructure design is not a required component of the design process, having approved plans in place would likely make the City more qualified for grant opportunities in this area if funding becomes available.

Additionally, partially converting existing cantilevered gutters to deck-level gutters is also not a required component and can be removed from the project to reduce the project budget if necessary.

Construction Options
The two construction options initially identified are: full scope as described above or replaster only. Both options will solve the most pressing short-term issue of replacing the pool plaster that is required to be a safe and functional pool for the next 15 to 20 years. Because of the nature of the plaster and the number of small cracks in the Lap Pool, in addition to the large bubble, simply repairing the damaged areas is neither recommended nor likely to be effective at resolving all the plaster issues. This is because the pool plaster is already at the end of its 15-20 year expected lifespan and there is no way to know how extensive the water intrusion is currently between the plaster and concrete shell of the lap pool without excavating the current plaster.

The choice between implementing the full construction project for $3.4 million or doing the replaster only option for $970,000 is one of difficult short-term funding decisions versus increased long-term costs and revenue loss due to repeated pool closures for each phase. The City Council does not need to choose a construction option with this action. If the design contract for RSM is approved, work will continue and construction options, costs, timelines, and design will continue to be refined. It is anticipated that this work will be complete in time for the City Council to deliberate how to move forward at its August 19, 2025 meeting.

Chart 1 below shows Swim Center Revenue by the month in which activities take place (vs. the month when revenue is collected) from June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025.

Ideally, construction would take place during the months of November, December and January when the Swim Center offers the least amount of programming due to cold weather.

Agenda Packet Page 314 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.D.

The estimated revenue loss during these months would be $156,000, using the most recent revenue figures. However, the full project scope could take up to 5 months, which would ideally take place between mid-October through mid-March.

The estimated revenue loss for this period would be around $290,000, accounting for early October classes running before the closure and late March classes operating after project completion. However, the construction duration may shift later, resulting in higher revenue loss. As mentioned previously, staff has already begun discussions with neighboring pools to see if a partnership can be made during this time that keeps City programs running and minimizes some revenue loss.

In addition to revenue implications, some advantages and disadvantages of the two construction options are listed below in Table 1.

Funding Options
While the design is developed, staff will continue evaluating project funding options for the City Council’s future consideration. These options will most likely include the following or a combination:

1. Use of General Fund Reserves, unrestricted and/or Emergency Disaster Relief Funds (EDRF)

2. Borrowing all or some of the funds needed from City Enterprise and/or Special Funds

3. Borrowing from a financial institution or private equity firm with interest Preliminary estimates for funding needed in addition to the amount that the City Council has already allocated are below. Please note that these costs include the $220,000 design cost that is under consideration.

Full Construction Cost with Design - $3.4 Million
$500,000 Authorized General Fund Reserves
$200,000 Minimum Measure H Contribution
$2,700,000 Additional Amount Needed to Fund Project
Replaster Only Option with Design - $970,000
$500,000 Authorized General Fund Reserves
$200,000 Minimum Measure H Contribution
$270,000 Additional Amount Needed to Fund Project
As work continues towards closing Fiscal Year 2024-25, additional fund balance from Measure H may be identified to contribute to these costs.

Agenda Packet Page 317 of 375
Agenda Item No. 9.D.

More specifically, restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged facilities to meet current standards of public health and safety, unless it is determined that the damage was substantial and resulted from an environmental hazard such as an earthquake, landslide, or flood, is exempt from CEQA.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Construction costs are not under consideration at this time. The cost of full design for needed and desired Swim Center maintenance and improvements is an amount not to exceed $220,000.

This cost is accounted for in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget between the Parks and Recreation Facilities Fund 207 (Measure H) of $200,000 and the City Council approved usage of Unrestricted General Fund Reserves of $500,000.

Additionally, City staff will bring a recommendation for the construction option and necessary funding to the City Council for consideration at its August 19, 2025 meeting.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed actions and found that legal considerations have been addressed.

Honorable Mayor, City Council Members,
With July 4th just 17 days away, I have a concern about tall, dry weeds in Hillside Natural Area off of King Court. The areas that I am concerned about are where people come to view the different cities’ fireworks. Even last year with fog, there were about 20 people viewing including one pot-smoking one. I have provided 2 photos below of the 2 spots where people gather and sit. I hope that these areas will be mowed before the 4th.

I also have a suggestion about fireworks. The city has 2 large signboards on Moeser by the tennis courts. One is currently blank. It seems to me that the city should consider putting a sign on the blank one soon, stating something like
ALL Fireworks are Illegal in Contra Costa County
There are NO Safe and Sane Fireworks.

Sincerely,
Sue Duncan

I think the FAB needs to have a better understanding of budget projections.

Is it possible the city will fall below the minimal 17% reserves goal in the next fiscal year?
Which “one-off” expenditures are accounted for and which are not?

1. Ohlone Greenway repairs

2. Senior Center

3. Fixing the roads

4. Full cost of swimming pool repairs

5. Full cost of fire engine replacement

6. Full cost of fire safety equipment replacement

7. Other fire safety needs

8. Increases in employee compensation

9. Increases in the CalPERS UAL pension liability

10.Realistic increases in employee compensation

11.New audio-visual for the council chambers

12.Other costs that will surely arise
