AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.A.

Date: August 19, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Crystal Reams, Finance Director/City Treasurer, Finance Department Subject: Monthly Disbursement and Check Register Report for June and July 2025

ACTION PROPOSED
Receive and file the Monthly Disbursement and Check Register Report for the months of June and July 2025.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
California Government Code, Title 4. Government of Cities, Division 3, Part 3, Chapter 3, Section 41004 states, “Regularly, at least once each month, the city treasurer shall submit to the city clerk a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. The city treasurer shall file a copy with the legislative body.” In addition, the City’s Comprehensive Financial Policy, Item 5.1 Accounting Standards indicates the City’s accounting and financial reporting systems shall be maintained in conformance with all state and federal laws.
• Month ending June 30, 2025, reflecting 301 Accounts Payable General Warrant Nos. 93284 through 93584, 35 ACH/EFT transactions, and 666 payroll-related checks and EFTs for a grand total of $4,565,500.95.
• Month ending July 31, 2025, reflecting 414 Accounts Payable General Warrant Nos. 93522 through 93938, 37 ACH/EFT transactions, and 717 payroll-related checks and EFTs for a grand total of $17,393,215.47.
o Note - Due to an internal processing error, several checks issued in July for expenditures in June were entered with a check date of June 30, 2025.

For accounting and financial statement preparation the error was corrected internally, but the checks had already been mailed out and could not be updated to the correct date.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.C.

Date: August 19, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Lauren Caputo, Lieutenant, Police Department
Subject: Purchase of Hybrid Police Vehicles

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the El Cerrito Police Department to purchase and equip one Patrol (marked) Hybrid Ford Explorer Police Interceptor and two Administrative (unmarked) Hybrid Ford Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles with emergency equipment for a total amount not to exceed $231,378, including labor.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The El Cerrito Police Department (ECPD) maintains a fleet of marked patrol and unmarked administrative police vehicles. The vehicles are driven daily by employees in the course of their duties. Police vehicles, both marked and unmarked, are equipped with emergency and police equipment which is essential for safely executing law enforcement duties.

Police vehicles do not come from the factory fully equipped with emergency and police equipment and must be upfitted by a specialty vendor. The ECPD currently needs to replace two administrative Ford Explorer Police Interceptors and one patrol Ford Explorer Police Interceptor. All three vehicles will need to be upfitted with emergency and police equipment.

The estimated cost to purchase a patrol Ford Explorer Police Interceptor is approximately $65,661 and the estimated cost to purchase an administrative Ford Explorer Police Interceptor is $60,418. The total estimated cost to purchase all three vehicles is approximately $186,497. These vehicles will be purchased using the State of California's Statewide Contract for Fleet Vehicles. All three vehicles are gasoline-electric hybrids.

The estimated cost to upfit a Ford Explorer Police Interceptor with emergency and police equipment for patrol is approximately $23,255 and the estimated cost to upfit an administrative Ford Explorer Police Interceptor with emergency and police equipment is approximately $10,813. The total estimated cost to upfit all three vehicles is $44,881.

The ECPD has used LEHR police vehicle upfitter in Pittsburg exclusively for several years. LEHR is the only emergency vehicle upfitter in Contra Costa County and has consistently performed excellent work on police vehicles with excellent customer service.

Agenda Packet Page 25 of 140
Agenda Item No. 7.C.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• Community Safety by ensuring that police staff have reliable vehicles to respond to emergency incidents.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The proposed purchase is for gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles. These vehicles achieve better gas mileage than gasoline-only vehicles and help reduce carbon emissions in accordance with the Climate Action and Adaptaton Plan.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The total estimated cost to purchase and upfit all three vehicles with emergency equipment is a not-to-exceed amount of $231,378. Current year pricing is not yet available, so the total cost is based on previous purchases and including a contingency for fluctuations in product costs due to global trade uncertainty.

This purchase is included in the FY 2025-26 Police Department Budget and no further appropriation is required. Funding will be from the Police Department General Fund budget in the amount of $170,000 and from the COPS Grant fund in the amount of $61,378.

Agenda Item No. 7.D.

Date: August 19, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: James Mizutani, Associate Engineer; Yvetteh Ortiz, Public Works Director/City Engineer, Public Works Department
Subject: Construction Contract Award for 2025 Access Modifications Project

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution awarding the contract for the 2025 Access Modifications Project, City Project No. C3024.8 (Project) to FBD Vanguard Construction, Inc. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract in the amount of $599,182.50 and to approve potential change orders in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the construction of the Project.

BACKGROUND
The Project will replace the sidewalks, including curb, gutter, and drainage piping that have been damaged by the roots of street trees at 10 locations and will construct curb ramps at 5 locations within the City (listed below). The locations were prioritized for permanent repair based on several factors, including severity of the sidewalk damage, location on a street identified as a high-volume pedestrian route, proximity to schools and other key destinations, request by people with disabilities, and type of repair.

Bid Alternate 1
330 Ramona Ave Sidewalk Replacement and Street Tree
Consistent with California state law, the El Cerrito Municipal Code (13.20.090) requires property owners to maintain the fronting sidewalk in a safe condition. As a result, property owners are responsible for repairing and replacing damaged sidewalks as necessary to ensure that they are not hazardous to pedestrians. The City takes responsibility for permanently repairing damaged sidewalks, including displacements that create tripping hazards or barriers to accessibility, if the sidewalk is fronting Cityowned property or the damage is being caused by a City-owned tree, such as a street tree, or other City asset, such as a storm drain facility.

The sidewalks at these locations have been lifted by the roots of street trees. City Maintenance staff have implemented temporary repairs for some time. However, because some of these displacements are severe, it has become necessary to remove and replace these sidewalk sections.

City staff reviewed options for the street trees with the City Arborist, including trimming, root shaving, and removal. It should be noted that the removal of trees is the option of last resort, and City staff, in consultation with the City Arborist, would only do so in order to promote a healthy urban forest and to maintain infrastructure in good repair over the long term. As part of the Project, it has been determined that 9 to 10 trees will have to be removed and new trees will be planted in their place at the locations listed above.

The work at 330 Ramona Avenue was bid as an Additive Alternate Bid Item to allow flexibility of award. City staff are actively working with property owners and residents on Ramona Avenue to resolve concerns about the proposed removal of the existing Camphor tree, which is 55 inches in diameter at breast height, and planting of a suitable replacement. The existing Camphor tree is in poor condition. There are approximately 120 public camphor trees citywide and the majority of these trees were classified in 2013 as being in poor condition, including this one. Due to their large size and root type, if not planted in sufficiently large planters greater than 7 feet wide, Camphor trees typically cause significant infrastructure problems. City staff are evaluating the cost, feasibility, and resident support for two options to preserve the tree and its health while minimizing the potential for it to cause further damage to surrounding infrastructure: 1) reconstruct the curb and sidewalk outward into the existing parking lane, which would result in removal of several parking spaces; and 2) reconstruct the sidewalk inward with an easement on the fronting property.

Agenda Packet Page 29 of 140
Agenda Item No. 7.D.

A third option would remove the existing street tree and reconstruct the curb slightly outward into the existing parking lane to create a large planting area that could accommodate the planting of a suitable but larger stature street tree, such as a Cork Oak, Primrose Tree, or Saratoga Laurel. In 2020 as part of a repaving project, the City reconstructed the curb and sidewalk slightly outward to preserve a Camphor tree on Gladys Avenue west of Richmond Street, using manual excavation methods around the tree roots and supervision by the City Arborist to minimize potential damage to the tree.

Despite these efforts, about two years post-construction, canopy damage materialized, and the tree required substantial deadwood-retrenchment pruning, resulting in significant one-time costs and ongoing maintenance costs estimated to be $1,300 biannually in efforts to rehabilitate the tree.

The Notice Inviting Bids for the Project was advertised in the West County Times/East Bay Times on July 9 and 16, 2025. Additionally, the notice along with a complete set of Contract Documents was sent to eight Builder and Construction Exchanges in the Bay Area and Northern California and made available for purchase through an online planroom used by the City. The notice was also posted on the City’s website. A nonmandatory pre-bid conference was held on July 22, 2025, and one Addenda was issued.

ANALYSIS
Nine bids were received by the advertised bid opening date and time of July 31, 2025, at 2 p.m. The bids were publicly opened and read by the City Clerk. All bids were checked for completeness; eight were found to be responsive and one found to be nonresponsive. The one non-responsive bid was from Calico California Constructores of San Pablo. Staff determined it was non-responsive due to having submitted their bid on the wrong bid proposal form, which was updated by Addendum No. 1 issued July 23, 2025, eight days before the Bid Opening. The results of the eight responsive bids are summarized below.

Ghilotti Bros
San Rafael, CA $1,010,286.00 $149,722.00
Engineer’s Estimate $646,415.00 $63,164.00
The Contract Documents stipulated that the low bidder was to be determined by the total amount of the Base Bid only. The lowest Base Bid was submitted by FBD Vanguard Construction Inc. in the amount of $522,982.50, 19% below the Engineer’s Estimate of $646,415. After review of the low bid, City staff determined that it was responsive, and FBD Vanguard Construction was a responsible bidder.

City staff recommends that the City Council award the construction contract in the amount of $599,182.50, for the Base Bid and Additive Alternate 1, to FBD Vanguard Construction Inc. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Although the bid price for Additive Alternate 1 was higher than that of the Engineer’s Estimate, the total of the Base Bid and Additive Alternate 1 was below the total of the Engineer’s Estimate and only $2,413 (less than 1%) above the next lowest bidder. City staff also recommend that the City Council approve potential change orders in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the construction of the Project. The recommended amount is a higher amount by percentage (25%) than the typically recommended range of 10% to 15%.

Staff recommend this higher amount to take advantage of the favorable pricing in FBD Vanguard’s bid proposal to make expanded improvements, including at the Lassen Street locations that have constrained conditions due to utility conflicts and at the Ramona Avenue location, to identify and construct an option that balances the needs for safe and accessible sidewalks and a healthy urban forest. City staff will meet with property owners and residents on the 300 block of Ramona Avenue to review these options in the next few weeks.

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.

Agenda Packet Page 31 of 140
Agenda Item No. 7.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
The Project will be funded by the SB 1 - Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Account Fund/Local Streets & Road Program. Funding for the Project is included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget and Capital Improvement Program under the Access Modifications – Streets & Sidewalks Program, which has a total funding amount of $1,070,000.

The estimated expenditure for construction of this project is $889,183 as summarized below:

Construction Expenditures
Construction Contract $599,182.50
Construction Contract Contingency $150,000.00
Construction Management & Inspection $115,000.00
Materials Testing $20,000.00
Miscellaneous (printing, postage, etc.) $5,000.00
Total $889,183.00
The remaining funding in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget is currently set aside to repair sidewalk as part of the Caltrans San Pablo Ave Capital Preventive Maintenance Project, for which City staff anticipates bringing a cooperative agreement to the City Council for consideration later this year.

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

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 8.A.

Date: August 19, 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
Adopt a resolution declaring weeds, rubbish, litter, or other flammable material on certain real property identified in the resolution constitutes a public nuisance; 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 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.

Agenda Packet Page 36 of 140
Agenda Item No. 8.A.

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 9, 2025 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 June 5 and June 25, 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 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 (Attachment 4). 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 on July 25, 2025 and continued through the date of the August 19, 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 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.

Agenda Packet Page 37 of 140
Agenda Item No. 8.A.

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 August 19, 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 the 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 August 19, 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 August 20, 2025 and September 19, 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 October 7, 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 October 7, 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 of the assessment to the next regular tax bill levied against the parcel.

Dear El Cerrito Property Owner:

With the State’s winter rain, the community is facing unprecedented vegetation growth as we head into peak fire danger season. To reduce the fire danger on private property and provide greater community safety, the Fire Department has been inspecting properties and checking for fire hazards. Recently your property listed above was found that it does not comply with the Vegetation Management Guidelines set forth in the City of El Cerrito Vegetation Management Standards. You are being notified now so that you may, if you have not already done so, take steps to remove those fire hazard conditions found on your property.

Enclosed is a copy of the Fire Hazard Reduction Inspection form specifying those areas that are not in compliance as well as the Fire Hazard Reduction Guidelines and Fire Hazard Reductions Checklist that can assist you in bringing your property into compliance. More information on the Vegetation Management Standards and Guidelines may be found on the City’s website at: www.el-cerrito.org under Vegetation Management Standards. Additional information is also available at www.readyforwildfire.org or www.cafiresafecouncil.org as well as many others.

If you have recently completed the work to meet these standards, no further action is required. If not, your property is required to be brought into compliance no later than July 25, 2025. There is no need to contact the Fire Department upon completion as we will be re-inspecting all properties. When the Fire Department has cleared your property, you will be removed from our non-compliant list.

On August 19, 2025 at 6:00PM the El Cerrito City Council will hold a public hearing to declare those properties still not in compliance as a public nuisance. Your property is at risk of being declared a public nuisance and subject to further abatement actions.

NOTICE TO DESTROY WEEDS AND REMOVE

RUBBISH, REFUSE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
On August 19, 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 August 19, 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 September 20 and 29, 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 October 7, 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.

If you have any questions, contact the El Cerrito Fire Department at 10900 San Pablo Avenue.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

Date: August 19, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Chase Beckman, Fire Marshal; Thomas Wade, Fire Prevention Officer, Fire Department
Subject: Cost Hearing Regarding Fire Hazard Abatement of a Public Nuisance for Properties Identified and pursuant to El Cerrito Municipal Code Chapter

16.26 ACTION PROPOSED
Conduct a public hearing and upon conclusion adopt a resolution confirming the cost of abatement of public nuisance conditions resulting from the presence of weeds, rubbish, litter or other flammable material on private properties designated in Exhibit A to the resolution as authorized by El Cerrito Municipal Code Chapter 16.26.

BACKGROUND
The Fire Department is continuing its fire hazard abatement program. The purpose of this program is to remove weeds, dry grass, stubble, brush, rubbish, litter and other flammable material from private properties where such flammable material endangers public safety by creating a public nuisance and a fire hazard.

For the first round for 2025, notices were initially sent to parcel owners notifying them that hazards existed on their parcels. With support and help from the Fire Department, many notified property owners abated the hazards on their parcels.

However, a small number of properties were not abated by the property owners by the specified deadline specific to the time of inspection and written notice. Thus, unabated properties were further submitted to the City to be declared public nuisances. The property owners identified in the June 17, 2025, Exhibit A (as amended) were notified that if they did not abate the hazardous conditions on their property, the City would do so. They were given the opportunity at a public hearing to object to the City’s plan to abate these conditions. On June 18, 2025, the City then sent property owners identified in Exhibit A, a second notice informing them that the City would perform abatement through its own staff or through a private contractor.

However, three of those property owners did not voluntarily abate their public nuisance and fire hazard conditions nor contact the Fire Department to agree on a work plan to reduce the hazards on their properties. For these three properties, the City has followed a statutory procedure to remove hazardous conditions.

On July 16, 2025, a notice was posted in plain view on each of the remaining three properties stating that the City would begin abatement on their properties between July 16, 2025 and July 31, 2025.

Agenda Packet Page 49 of 140
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

The City performed abatement of the remaining three properties through private contractors. These properties are presented in Exhibit A.

ANALYSIS
The fire hazard abatement procedure provides ample due process for the affected property owner, well beyond the minimum procedure statutorily required. The most important part of the procedure is that the property owner listed in Exhibit A was given the opportunity to contest whether their property constituted a public nuisance and a fire hazard at a public hearing before the City Council. The property owner did not contest the designation, nor did the property owners voluntarily abate the nuisance conditions.

The City Council therefore directed City staff to abate said conditions.

This matter appears before the City Council for the sole purpose of confirming the abatement costs already incurred by the City for the properties identified in Exhibit A. At this hearing, the City Council should review the reasonableness of the costs of abatement as specified, and then determine the abatement costs to be assessed. The proposed resolution provides for confirmation of the report of abatement costs, and attached Exhibit B specifies the administrative costs associated with the abatement of the properties. Once confirmed by the City Council, the costs of abating the nuisance will be forwarded to the County Auditor no later than August 5, 2026 for assessment of the individual property and a lien will be recorded with the County Recorder.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed resolution as presented at the conclusion of the hearing. Alternatively, the City Council may adopt a resolution with amended costs; or the Council may choose not to adopt the proposed resolution, thereby not confirming the report of the cost of abatement, not forwarding the costs of abatement to the County for collection, and causing the City of El Cerrito to absorb the full cost of abating the hazardous conditions of the subject properties.

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

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

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The abatement work has been completed by contract labor and the City is obligated to pay contractors a total of $4,200.00 for their work. Administrative and surcharge costs, totaling $1,847.82, have been added, bringing the total abatement cost to $6,047.82.

Agenda Packet Page 50 of 140
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

Total administrative costs may include: (1) Fire Department initial inspection and notice, (2) re-inspection, (3) office work and attendance at City Council hearings, (4) additional notices, (5) vendor bid inspection, (6) posting of property, (7) writing of inspection/abatement warrants, (8) court appearances for signing and filing of warrants, (9) vendor observation/inspection, and (10) submittal of records/liens to the County. In order for the City to fully recover the direct and indirect costs of $6,047.82 already incurred for the abatement work performed, the City Council should confirm the staff report on the costs of abatement at this time so that these costs can be forwarded to the County for collection from the property owner.

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

2. Discuss setting aside 2% of the budget to pay for one-time expenses Agenda
Agenda Packet Page 87 of 140
We Recommend Establishing a Maintenance Fund
Recommendation: Establish a Maintenance fund (or Capital fund) which would set aside money to pay for long-lived assets over the course of their useful life.

Assets: Things owned by an entity that have value and provide future benefit. There are many different type of assets (e.g. intangible, current).

Long-Lived (aka Fixed): Assets that are expected to survive and provide benefits beyond 12 months. For example, buildings and vehicles.

Useful life: The number of years a long-lived asset will be used.

The fund would smooth out El Cerrito’s expenses, minimizing the shock of replacing expensive equipment Agenda Packet Page 88 of 140
Recommendation: Establish a Maintenance fund (Capital fund or Service fund) which would set money aside to pay for long-lived assets over the course of their useful life.

Current Method of Budgeting for Long-Lived Asset Replacement:
● In April 2022, El Cerrito bought a fire truck for $1.1M1 ● A fire truck has a useful life 11 years.1
● In 11 years, El Cerrito will have another $1.1M expense to buy another fire truck Problems with Current Method
● Expensive bills come due all at once
● Future financial situation of the City is uncertain

Recommendation: Establish a Maintenance fund (Capital fund or Service fund) which would set money aside to pay for long-lived assets over the course of their useful life.

Recommended Method of Budgeting for Long-Lived Asset Replacement:
● In April 2022, El Cerrito bought a fire truck for $1.1M1 ● A fire truck has a useful life 11 years.1
● In this case, we suggest that the City set aside $100,000 ($1.1M cost of the fire truck / 11 years) every year for 11 years to eventually pay for a replacement fire truck.

Advantages to Recommended Method
● Best practice for long-range planning
● Pay a little bit each year (rather than one big bill) ● Smooths out expenses
● Minimize need for future debt (due to mis-timed expenses) 1El Cerrito Annual Comprehensive Financial Report June 30, 2024 We Recommend Establishing a Maintenance Fund

El Cerrito sets a budget during the year. Outside of the budget cycle, there are one-time expenses that come before the City Council. The amounts vary but, typically, they amount to 2-9% of the budget. We recommend setting aside 2% to accommodate these expenses.

We Recommend Setting Aside 2% to Cover One-Time Expenses El Cerrito has one-time expenses of $1M that catch the city “off guard.” Let’s correct that practice through better budgeting.

The amount of one-time expenses is increasing. Rather than be surprised every year, we should set aside funds to cover these expenses.

Advantages to Recommendation
● Budget for what you are actually spending
● Enforce budgetary discipline across departments
● Better long-term planning
● Consistent with establishment of Maintenance Fund

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 9.B.

Date: August 19, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Christopher Jones, Recreation Director, Recreation Department; Yvetteh Ortiz, Public Works Director/City Engineer, Public Works Department; Crystal Reams, Finance Director/City Treasurer, Finance Department Subject: Swim Center Lap Pool Renovation Study Session - Budget Options

ACTION PROPOSED
Receive an update on the estimated costs, construction, and phasing options for the El Cerrito Swim Center Emery G. Weed, III Lap Pool Replaster, Deck Replacement, and Associated Work and provide direction to staff.

BACKGROUND
As presented at the May 20, 2025, and June 17, 2025 City Council meetings, staff have been working with the aquatic design and engineering firm Rogers Stringer & McClelland, Inc. (RS+M) to address the deterioration of the plaster and deck at the Swim Center’s Emery G. Weed, III Lap Pool (Lap Pool) and to develop design and construction options. On May 20, 2025 the City Council allocated $500,000 from the General Fund discretionary balance for a future Lap Pool project. On June 17, 2025 the Council awarded RS+M a design contract not to exceed $220,000 to develop the full scope of necessary and desired improvements. The scope of this design effort includes:
• Swimming Pool design & engineering, including replastering and other finishes and features necessary to provide a functional swimming pool. • Swimming Pool deck structural design including deck joint layout, deck drainage plan, and deck elevation plans.
• Exiting & egress upgrades to the site to meet California Building Code requirements.
• Design of existing accessible parking modifications to meet current codes, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. • 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 of 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.

Agenda Packet Page 94 of 140
Agenda Item No. 9.B.

The scope of work under consideration is not only urgent for the Lap Pool to remain in operation and compliant with current codes and regulations, but it also supports the City’s broader goals of sustainability, accessibility and equity, and high-quality recreation services for all residents.

Since the June 17, 2025 meeting, RS+M has worked with their specialty design subcontractors to conduct additional assessments, including topographical surveying and architectural site review, and refine cost estimates for pool replastering, deck replacement, EV charging infrastructure, stormwater retention, ADA path of travel and egress improvements, and waterslide installation. Additionally, Swinerton Management & Consulting has also been engaged under the City Council-approved on-call contract to serve as project manager and assist with finalizing phasing, timeline, and budget options.

ANALYSIS
Utilizing the information provided by RS+M, City Staff and Swinerton have devised four construction/phasing scenarios for consideration. Timelines are attached to this report as Attachment 1 for more information on project phasing and timing.

Option 1: Replaster Only (Partial Scope) = $970,000
This option is the most economical option and addresses the most pressing concern of the deteriorating plaster in the Lap Pool. Doing replaster only, with no additional deck work, is considered a maintenance project and does not require additional improvements such as ADA and egress compliance. Timing of remaining work can be further evaluated and done later as needed based on deck conditions. It should be noted that the pool deck is already past its “useful lifetime” and determining when this work will need to be completed is difficult, but City Staff will be discussing testing options with our consultants.

Under this option, the pool would be closed for up to 3 months (January through March 2026) with an estimated revenue loss of up to $150,000.

Option 1 Budget:
$970,000 Total Budget
($200,000) Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Measure H Budget
($500,000) FY 2025-26 Committed Discretionary General Fund Reserves $270,000 FY 2025-26 Additional Funding Needed
Option 2: Replaster & Parking Lot ADA & Related Improvements (Partial Scope) = $2,311,000
In addition to the work detailed above, Option 2 would also include the Parking Lot improvements, including ADA path of travel upgrades, storm water retention requirements, and EV Charging (dependent on securing grant funding). This option addresses the most pressing issues inside the Swim Center complex (plaster) as well as bringing the parking lot into compliance, which has been deferred twice with the Agenda Packet Page 95 of 140
Agenda Item No. 9.B.
2018 Locker Room Upgrade Project and the 2023 Activity Pool Replaster Project.

Under this option, the pool would be closed for up to 3 months (January through March 2026) with an estimated revenue loss of up to $150,000 and the parking lot and related projects would take up to 5 months to complete (January through May 2026). The specialty required for the replaster work as compared to the parking lot work lends itself to permitting and bidding it separately. This will also allow flexibility of awarding one or both projects based on bid amounts, available budget, and timelines. Timing of remaining work can be further evaluated as described above.

Option 2 Budget:
$2,311,000 Total Budget
($200,000) FY 2025-26 Measure H Budget
($500,000) FY 2025-26 Committed Discretionary General Fund Reserves $1,611,000 FY 2025-26 Additional Funding Needed offset by any secured EV grant Option 3: Replaster & Parking Lot ADA Improvements in FY 2025-26 and Pool Deck, Interior ADA & Related Improvements in FY 2026-27 (Full Scope) = $4,356,000
This option includes the full design scope; completing Option 2 as described above and scheduling deck replacement and interior Swim Center ADA and egress improvements during Fiscal Year 2026-27 (preferably mid-October 2026 through mid-March 2027).

The pool would close twice: up to three months in FY2025-26 (January through March 2026) and up to 5 months in FY 2026-27 (October 2026 through March 2027).

Estimated revenue loss of up to $400,000 is possible over the two closure periods.

Option 3 Budget:
$4,356,000 Total Budget
($200,000) FY2025-26 Measure H Budget
($500,000) FY2025-26 Committed Discretionary General Fund Reserves $1,611,000 FY2025-26 Additional Funding Needed
$2,045,000 FY2026-27 Additional Funding Needed (offset by any secured EV grant) Option 4: Full Scope with Hybrid Deck in Fiscal Year 2026-27 = $4,752,000 This option includes the full scope as described previously in Fiscal Year 2026-27 (midOctober 2026 through mid-March 2027) to minimize pool closure time with estimated revenue loss of up to $250,000. Additionally, this option is the only scenario where the previously discussed Hybrid Deck opportunity is possible due to the work not being phased. A Hybrid Deck would lower the deck to the water level in the shallow section of the Lap Pool to make it a more family-friendly area and to enhance water rescue safety.

Most of the deck would remain as it is currently.

Option 4 Budget:
$4,752,000 Total Budget

($500,000) FY2025-26 Committed Discretionary General Fund Reserves $4,052,000 FY2026-27 Additional Funding Needed (offset by any secured EV grant) Staff and consultants are currently reviewing a grant opportunity from the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP) that could potentially contribute between $75,000 and $100,000 per charging port to this project and reduce the City’s overall cost. Additionally, City staff and consultants are evaluating a between $100,000 to $200,000 reduction in the architectural work.

Increased Costs
Unfortunately, the estimated costs have increased significantly since the last report to the City Council for several reasons as described below.

Path of Travel, other ADA work, and Egress Upgrades
The initial conceptual budget estimates available in June 2025 were developed by RS+M prior to detailed exploratory work being completed for the architectural and civic components of the work. Once this was done (i.e. site visits, field surveys, etc.), Agenda Packet Page 97 of 140
Agenda Item No. 9.B.
additional costs of approximately $700,000 were identified by specialty design subconsultants. This included increased scope to achieve the correct slopes and grades and other accessibility and egress work required by the California Building Code.

Delaying deck work for Fiscal Year 2026-27 (5% Escalation) Costs increase as a result of moving the timeline of major project components (Lap Pool deck replacement, ADA path of travel, and egress improvements) into Fiscal Year 2026-27. According to RS+M and their subconsultants, an annual increase of 5% in construction costs for this type of work is anticipated (approximately $100,000 to $200,000 depending on the option). Delaying the work until Fiscal Year 2026-27 for at least the Lap Pool deck work is necessary to avoid cancellation of the Swim Center’s summer season. Not only would this significantly reduce services to residents, but it would also likely result in a shortage of lifeguards upon reopening, as some existing staff would find new jobs and may not return.

Waterslide
The cost to install the waterslide was not included in the original estimates, which was an oversight. Early estimates for this work relied on the assumption that the existing columns could be used for a new slide. However, physical samples were recently analyzed from the columns, determining that they cannot be used further, and new columns need to be constructed. The estimated cost for this activity is approximately $400,000, which includes removal and replacement of the column foundations and electrical and pipe connections.

Project Contingencies and Other Potential Cost Increases All cost estimates have maintained a 15% contingency. Typically, the contingency level at the concept level should be higher, such as 25%, reflecting the uncertainties at the early stages of a project and the technical assessment yet to be completed. As the project progresses through design development into construction, the contingency level gradually decreases to 10%.

Additionally, the City is subject to the Project Stabilization Agreement (PSA) approved by the City Council on August 16, 2022 (Resolution 2022-66), for work on public projects with an Engineer’s Estimate exceeding $1 million. At the time of the PSA's approval, it was acknowledged that its implementation could affect the City's bidding process by limiting the number of contractors that would submit bids, thereby potentially increasing the overall cost of projects. At this time, potential PSA cost increases are unknown.

Funding Options
Staff has considered Options 1-4 using General Fund balance in order to test the model for General Fund projections. Funding Option 1 in FY 2025-26 would not alter the budgeted General Fund balance projections. Funding Option 2 would require an additional General Fund appropriation of $1,611,000 in FY 2025-26. Option 2 would also not alter the original General Fund balance projections significantly, since the Agenda Packet Page 98 of 140
Agenda Item No. 9.B.
majority of the planned deficit of $2.1 million were one-time items. Option 3 and 4 would require outside funding.

City staff have updated the estimated General Fund balance for FY 2024-25, using unaudited actuals as of August 31, 2025. While these figures are not confirmed until the fiscal year is officially closed and the audited fiscal statements are completed, current projections for FY 2024-25 indicate the planned use of General Fund balance of $2.1 million will not occur, returning discretionary funding to the General Fund. This is due to General Fund expenditures meeting their budget target, and General Fund revenues coming in above target by at least 3%. The table below shows the current estimated FY 2024-25 ending balance projections using unaudited actuals that result in an estimated surplus of over $600,000.

Attachment 2 shows the budgeted and current General Fund projections, as well as graphical projections for Options 1-4. None of these projections consider the use of Measure H, grant funding, or other funding opportunities at this time. Once the yearend close occurs and all funds are audited, staff will include available special funds to offset the use of General Fund balance. Staff will refine these numbers for City Council review once direction is given and costs are finalized.

Agenda Item No. 9.B.

Recommendation
Moving forward with Option 2 at this time strikes a balance between addressing urgent maintenance, deferred capital improvements, and affordability. It allows the City to come into compliance with long-standing accessibility obligations while preserving the flexibility to identify any cost savings that can be achieved with future deck and interior Swim Center work. It also preserves the ability to resurface the Lap Pool and renovate the parking lot before next year’s busy late Spring and Summer seasons. Due to initial projections, choosing Option 2 will not fundamentally change the General Fund balance as it had been previously budgeted. Should the City Council give direction to pursue this option, staff will continue to explore cost savings for the Lap Pool Deck and other interior Swim Center projects (currently estimated to be an additional $2,045,000) for future City Council consideration within the Capital Improvement Program in the next biennial budget, and will seek any available grant opportunities.

City staff will continue to work on options to offset the estimated $150,000 in lost revenue for Fiscal Year 2025-26 under Option 2 as well. These options include cost reductions and/or adjustments to swim programs. One possibility is the complete closure of the facility and all programs, which would lead to a reduction in part-time salaries. In Fiscal Year 2024-25, part-time salaries totaled approximately $100,000 for the seven payrolls between January 10 and March 21, 2025. Additionally, in Fiscal Year 2024-25, the Recreation Department exceeded its revenue projections by over $100,000 (unaudited) and there are no indications at this time that this trend will not continue into Fiscal Year 2025-26. Finally, there are currently three vacant positions (Recreation Supervisor, Administrative Assistant II, and Custodian) that will result in expense savings, as recruitment for these roles typically takes at least three months.

Any combination of these factors should offset revenue loss. Staff will also continue to explore partnerships with other swim centers to preserve as many programs as possible, continue serving residents, maintain staff employment, and minimize revenue loss.

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.

Agenda Packet Page 100 of 140
Agenda Item No. 9.B.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
At this time, staff is not seeking a budget appropriation to fund the Swim Center renovation costs. Once direction is given on the desired option, staff will work with the consultants to complete the design and prepare for bidding out the projects, as the costs continue to be refined and finalized.

Attachment 2 shows General Fund balance projection scenarios for the various options and provides the budgeted and current projections for FY 2024-25. After the year-end close is performed and the audited financial statements are available, staff will return with a funding request for any use of General Fund balance. Staff will continue to update the City Council on construction costs and funding options throughout the project.

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

Dear Council members,
In case you didn’t know Thursday, Aug 21, has been designated as Na?onal Senior Ci?zen’s Day, a day to recognize and honor the achievements and ongoing contribu?ons of older adults to our communi?es and na?on. Established in 1988, the proclama?on was intended to highlight the importance of senior ci?zens, encouraging communi?es to create environments where older adults can fully thrive, par?cipate, and have access to the support and services they may need.

Un?l recently, I thought our city government was suppor?ve and apprecia?ve of its senior community, but I’m not sure that’s true now, especially in light of rather provoca?ve comments made by several Council members at the July mee?ng.

Please keep in mind that older adults make up over 25% of El Cerrito’s general popula?on… that is a very large niche to use the mayor’s label. I say, if seniors are a niche, then so are the swimmers that use the pool. So are our local business owners, tennis and pickleball players, students, city staffers, really everyone is part of a niche of some kind.

Therefore, all of El Cerrito’s niche segments deserve equanimity and respect when it comes to alloca?ng funding and resources, but it seems to me that seniors have fallen off your radar almost en?rely since possibly before but definitely postpandemic ?mes. The Community Center is doing a fair job of providing some senior related services, however it cannot replace a dedicated space, as the city once priori?zed.

Not only for Senior Ci?zen Day, but from NOW ON, I ask you to take the senior ci?zens of El Cerrito seriously. Please publicly commit to begin crea?ng plans for finding a space and budget for a dedicated senior center for our community, whether that be with the County or independently.

If you start now, hopefully by Na?onal Senior Ci?zen Day of 2026, we’ll see some great progress toward this goal!

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

Councilmembers,
Stuart Sonatina here. El Cerrito resident since 2019. 2 kids at Harding Elementary.

Thank you! The council's reaffirming of the work done by city staff to design a Richmond St that will maximize out-of-car experiences was an important step towards strengthening the community of El Cerrito. With only 3.7 mi² and less than 2 miles across, the people of El Cerrito can spend the majority of their time out and about; walking, biking, and scooting to school, the store, coffee, or dinner. The more our infrastructure supports this, the tighter-knit our community will become.

Creating that feeling of community will take much more work over the years, and I'd like to urge the council to consider another big motion: reinstating the police bicycle patrol.

Interacting with the public face-to-face has enormously positive knock-on effects, and it would also allow our officers access to many of the nooks and crannies cars cannot go.

Including one big one: the Ohlone greenway!
See you around town,
Stuart

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

Thank you for the staff report in the June 17, 2025 Agenda (Agenda Item No. 9.D). The pool is a top item for EC residents' quality of life during the summer, along with the new library.

Can this be put in context of other major capital projects, and in general El Cerrito's budget? If the long-term project is selected, how will El Cerrito pay for the additional $2.7M needed? This is about 1/10th of the EC general fund reserves. Are there grants that El Cerrito can apply for to help pay for the project? Have multiple bids been solicited to see if the cost can be driven down?
We hope that EC can prioritize fiscal responsibility in making this choice between the two pool fixes. Also, we hope that EC continues to work on the new library, which will benefit everyone. Perhaps more residents would be likely to support a ballot measure if the proposed tax was brought down slightly on a sq foot basis.

Thank you,
Isaac Cheng

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

To the Honorable Members of the El Cerrito City Council, I am writing in regard to the El Cerrito lap swimming pool in the El Cerrito Community Center to ask that you prioritize and expedite the repair of the pool.

It is not only a uniquely special and important component of El Cerrito recreational programs, it also must generate a significant amount of revenue. It generally is busy from 6 am in the morning when I water walk until 8 pm at night. With 22 people an hour, 14 hours a day who pay approximately $100 or more monthly, the lap pool must generate about $30,800 month. That would be conservatively $275,000 annually. The closure of the pool and its repairs should be balanced against this loss of income.

More importantly, the pool is an essential key to the mental and physical health of many of its users who have formed communities of friendships exercising in the pool. It is a lovely beautiful pool we very much appreciate.

We are also concerned about the welfare of the outstanding pool staff during the construction period.

We sincerely encourage you to make the pool repairs one of your top priorities. We understand that the issue will be heard on August 19th.

Please include this letter as a formal comment on it.

Thank you for your service.

Best regards,
Lynne Horiuchi

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

Honorable Council Members Motoyama, Saltzman, and Ktsanes, As a 20+ year regular patron of the El Cerrito Swim Center, I am aware of the need for renovation and upgrades for the lap pool and parking lot.

The swim center is not only one of the most regarded lap swim pools in the greater Bay Area, but such an important community asset.

My children were taught how to swim and developed important water survival skills at the pool. They, together with countless friends, have attended many swim camps and programs over the years.

The pool's lifeguard training program is outstanding and provides opportunities for our young, aspiring, and motivated teenagers to take on responsibilities and serve our community. All programs offered at the swim center, (rec-swim, master's, water aerobics, hosting swim events, etc.), really contribute to what makes El Cerrito such a desirable place to live and call home.

After many years of flawless performance, the pool is now in need of important and necessary repairs and renovation.

Please make the swim center renovation a priority, as it is so essential to the community.

Sincerely,
Erwin Punz

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

Dear El Cerrito City Council Members,
With respect to pool closures to support necessary repairs and maintenance, please consider the prime importance of our facility to community health and wellbeing and the general recognition as a top notch swim center in West Contra Costa County. Our pool is well tended by a courteous and friendly staff, patronized faithfully by an assortment of lap swimmers, master swimmers, and water aerobics participants, and enjoys broad community support.

As a lap swimmer for four decades and one who's enjoyed lap swimming at the Swim Center the last two years, I'd strongly encourage the adoption of Option 1 to focus on replastering the pool with anticipated closure of several months. The other needed ADA work should be postponed to a later date, both to gather sufficient funding and minimize closure impacts to the community.

Respectfully,

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

I have lived in El Cerrito since 2014 and started swimming at the EC Swim Center immediately. Not only is it a spectacular pool, it serves the entire community through swim lessons, family swim, Masters swim, swim team, high school use, and fitness swim and aerobics. The staff help create a wonderful community and the pool community is truly like a family.

I urge you to consider Option 2 in the renovations for the lap pool.

Thank you,

To the EC Council Members,
I am a resident of El Cerrito and a frequent patron of the pool. The swim center is one of the key reasons I live here.

It is a state-of-the-art facility with wonderful and caring staff. My fellow swimmers are a critical part of my life and community: we share lanes and showers together 5-6 days a week.

The swim center is a true gem of El Cerrito. It is one of the best pools in the east bay and it is well maintained. The programs (including Masters, water aerobics and swim lessons) are popular and serve a wide range of people. I want to ensure the facility remains a top priority.

I reviewed the proposed options for the pool renovation and am supportive of making needed improvements to the facility. I support option 1, which includes replastering of the larger pool. This is an important and needed improvement.

Thank you for providing the space to comment.

Best, Kim Ascoli Almeida

Dear City Council,
As a frequent user of the El Cerrito Swim Center and a member of the El Cerrito Aquatic Masters team, I recommend Option 1 regarding renovation to the swim center. That is, replastering of the pool, without the additional ADA improvements at this time.

The swim center is a major asset of this community and needs to be maintained as such and should be a top priority of the city council for the following reasons:

The swim center is recognized as one of the best swim centers in the East Bay, because of the facility itself as well as the staff. The facility is great as a swim center and the staff are friendly, helpful, and dependable in contrast to other facilities. We need to keep it that way.

Realtors will tell you that the swim center adds value to the price of a house or condo in El Cerrito.

Finally, the city has strong support for the swim center. We have active lap, masters, and water aerobic groups and Measure H passed with an incredible 78% vote.

Sincerely,
William Hale
