AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 4.

Date: May 19, 2026
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Sky Woodruff, City Attorney; Holly M. Charléty, City Clerk, City Management
Subject: Second Public Hearing on Transition to District-Based Elections

ACTION PROPOSED
Conduct the second public hearing regarding transition to District-Based Elections for City Councilmembers, including sequencing of the election and consideration of the composition of the districts in accordance with Election Code section 10010; and providing direction on number of districts and method of election for Mayor.

BACKGROUND
On April 21, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution 2026-24 declaring its intention to transition to a district-based system for electing members of the El Cerrito City Council.

This action was taken in response to the March 17, 2026 letter received from Rexroad Law alleging that the City's current at-large election system violates the California Voting Rights Act ("CVRA") and threatening litigation if the City declined to voluntarily change to a district-based election.

Although the City denies its at-large election system violates the CVRA or any other provision of law, the City Council has determined that the public interest would best be served by transitioning to a district-based electoral system due to (1) the high cost to defend against a CVRA lawsuit, (2) the risk of losing such a lawsuit, which would require the City to pay the prevailing plaintiffs' attorneys' fees, and (3) the availability of changing to district elections under the safe harbor provision.

The City Council, an elected legislative body serving the residents of El Cerrito, is currently elected in an at-large election system, where each of the five Councilmembers are elected by registered voters of the entire city, regardless of residence, as opposed to a district-based election system, where each Councilmember must reside in a specific district within the City, and is voted on only by voters within that district.

California Elections Code section 10010 provides a process whereby a jurisdiction can expeditiously change to a district-based election system and avoid the high cost of litigation under the CVRA. Under this process, a jurisdiction can limit the amount of its liability to prospective plaintiffs and their attorneys (the "safe harbor provision"), and avoid litigation so long as the jurisdiction completes the process within 90 days of the adoption of the resolution of intention. While the CVRA allows for extensions to this timeframe with agreement of the potential plaintiff, the City was unable to obtain an agreement for extensions.

Agenda Packet Page 6 of 201
Agenda Item No. 4.

Transition Process under the Safe Harbor Provision
California Elections Code section 10010 requires that a jurisdiction changing to districtbased elections under the safe harbor provision do all of the following within 90 days from the date the legislative body adopts a resolution of intent to transition to districtbased elections:
• Before drawing a draft map or maps of the proposed boundaries of the districts, hold at least two public hearings over a period of no more than 30 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the composition of the districts. • After all draft maps are drawn, published, and made available, release at least one draft map and, if members of the governing body of the political subdivision will be elected in their districts at different times to provide for staggered terms of office, the potential sequence of the elections.
• Hold at least two additional hearings over a period of no more than 45 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft map or maps and the proposed sequence of elections.
o The first version of a draft map shall be published at least seven days before consideration at a hearing. If a draft map is revised at or following a hearing, it shall be published and made available to the public for at least seven days before being adopted.
• Adopt an ordinance establishing district-based elections pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(a).

In order to provide tools for community input, and to draw preliminary maps based on community and City Council feedback, the City Attorney has retained Redistricting Partners, LLC, a demographer who serves as an expert in analyzing census data to ensure that the final district map adopted by the City Council is a balance of population, maintains communities of interest, and ensures that racial/ethnic minorities are represented.

It's important to note, however, that despite the accelerated 90-day transition process, based on the deadlines imposed by the Contra Costa County Elections department related to district maps, it has been determined that the earliest election feasible for the new district-based maps to take effect will commence with the November 2028 General Municipal Election. As such, elections for City Council seats taking place in November 2026 will continue to use the current at-large election system.

Completed Actions to Date
Detailed information, materials, and videos regarding completed actions for the districting process are available at www.elcerrito.gov/districts. • April 21, 2026: Adopted Resolution of Intent to Transition to Districts • May 5, 2026: 1st Public Hearing held
• May 12, 2026: Virtual Community Workshop held
• May 14, 2026: Community Outreach at Bike to Wherever Day event Agenda Packet Page 7 of 201
Agenda Item No. 4.

Remaining Public Hearing and Events Schedule
The proposed Public Hearing schedule for the remainder of the districting process includes tentative dates to hold additional community workshops, public hearings, and other relevant actions required under the safe harbor provisions. This tentative schedule was developed to be as transparent and informative as possible given the 90-day restriction to complete the process. Should the potential plaintiff decide to negotiate terms of an agreement to extend the period of time for this transition, a revised schedule would be brought back to the City Council at a future date. • May 19, 2026: 2nd Public Hearing
o Public input on district composition and communities of interest, No maps drawn
o Council to consider number of districts and method of election for Mayor, and to instruct demographers on drawing maps
• June 3, 2026: Community Workshop #2 held in City Council Chambers • June 9, 2026: 3rd Public Hearing
o Draft presentation and additional public input on draft maps • June 16, 2026: 4th Public Hearing
o Additional public input on draft maps, Council to select final map • July 7, 2026: 5th Public Hearing
o Approve final map and Ordinance to change to District-Based Elections • July 21, 2026: 6th Public Hearing
o Adopt the Ordinance to change to District-Based Elections

ANALYSIS
The format for this second public hearing will be the same as that of the first public hearing held on May 5, 2026. Like they did during the first hearing, at this second hearing the City’s demographer will present information on the CVRA and the transition process for preparing district boundaries. The intention of the first and second hearings is to identify the neighborhoods or "communities of interest" within the City, as well as other local factors that should be considered by Redistricting Partners when drawing draft maps. The public will be invited to ask questions about the process and to provide input on communities of interest in the City. This will allow the demographer to better understand the City and allow the drawing of maps based on sound demographic and legal principles. The public is welcome to propose complete district maps.

The public is also invited to provide input as to whether the City should continue the process of the City Council annually selecting a Mayor from among its members and adopt a map with 5 districts, or shift to a directly elected Mayor with 4 districts. If the City were to decide to shift to a directly elected Mayor with 4 districts, the Council will also be asked to consider whether to adopt a 2 or 4-year term for Mayor. This hearing will identify and highlight resources available to the public on the City's website related to the transition to district-based elections. This includes an overview of the community mapping tool available to provide feedback on communities of interest and to propose district boundaries.

Agenda Packet Page 8 of 201
Agenda Item No. 4.

At the end of the second public hearing, with full consideration of the input offered by the public, the City Council will be asked to provide direction to City staff and the City’s demographer regarding the criteria to be considered, consistent with the required legal parameters, to create proposed district maps. This includes providing direction on the number of districts and method of election for Mayor.

It should be noted that, while the City Council does not necessarily need to decide whether it prefers 4 or 5 districts until it adopts the final map, in order to reduce the complexity of decisions before the Council (and especially in the context of the tight timelines before the City), the City Council will be asked to provide direction on the number of districts and method of election for Mayor at the end of the second public hearing. The sooner this direction is provided to the City and the demographer, the more public outreach can be focused on maximizing the value of public input moving forward. If the City Council delays the decision on the number of districts, it would risk adding additional complexity to the public outreach being conducted as well as future decision-making processes, including the simultaneous consideration by the City's demographer, the Council, and the public of two sets of map (one set of potential maps for 4 districts and another set of potential maps for 5 districts).

Next Steps
Following the second public hearing, the demographer will prepare draft maps for consideration by the community and City Council. In preparation for the upcoming public hearings, maps created by the Redistricting Partners will be posted on the City's website and available at least one week before each hearing. After taking public comment at these hearings, the City Council will provide further direction to Redistricting Partners regarding how to change and/or finalize a proposed map.

On June 3, 2026 at 6:00 PM in City Council Chambers, the City will hold a second community workshop which will allow the public to receive assistance in drawing their communities of interest or drawing draft maps, or proposing modifications to draft maps to be discussed at the third public hearing, scheduled for June 9, 2026 at 6:00 PM.

The City will continue to conduct community outreach efforts to solicit feedback and input on the draft maps and continue refining the draft maps at a fourth public hearing, scheduled for June 16, 2026 at 6:15 PM with a goal of selecting a final map to put forward for approval at the fifth public hearing, scheduled for July 7, 2026.

District Formation Criteria
In creating the district boundaries, the City must ensure compliance with the following criteria mandated by the CVRA and the Federal Voting Rights Act:
• Each district must contain a nearly equal population; • The districting plan must be drawn in a manner that complies with the Federal Voting Rights Act and the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution; and, • The districts must not be drawn with race as the predominant factor.

Agenda Packet Page 9 of 201
Agenda Item No. 4.

Additionally, Election Code section 21130 requires cities to adopt districts using the following criteria to the extent practicable, which are set forth in order of priority:
• Districts shall be geographically contiguous.
• To the extent practicable, the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest must be respected and maintained. A “community of Interest” is a population that shares common social or economic interests that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation.
• District boundaries should be easily identifiable and understandable. To the extent practicable, districts shall be bounded by natural and artificial barriers, by streets, or by the boundaries of the jurisdiction.
• To the extent practicable, and where it does not conflict with the preceding criteria, districts shall be drawn to encourage geographical compactness.The City's demographer will present maps that comply with these criteria.

Number of Districts and Nature of Mayor’s Election
As mentioned above, the City Council will provide direction to staff and consultants on the number of districts to be created, ideally early in the process of transitioning to district-based elections. The City currently has five City Councilmembers elected to four-year staggered terms and a Mayor that is elected annually from among its members to serve. The City Council will provide direction as to whether to maintain this system, or switch to one where there are four districts with a directly elected Mayor. If the City Council decides to switch to a system where there are four districts with a directly elected Mayor, the City Council will also provide direction regarding whether the terms should be 2 years or 4 years. Timing-wise, such direction may be provided prior to adoption of the ordinance.

Another issue to note is that transitioning to a system with a directly elected Mayor would not change the powers of the Mayor. The Mayor would still be a voting member of the City Council but would not have additional executive powers. The Mayoral role itself would remain largely ceremonial.

Public Outreach
In addition to the formal public hearing process, the City is continuing to implement a robust effort to encourage participation and inclusivity as a part of the districting process, including:
• Hosting a dedicated page for districting on the City’s website at www.elcerrito.gov/districts, which includes information on the districting process, how to provide public input, upcoming public hearings and community events, documents and details of past actions, draft maps and community input submissions.
• Utilizing an interactive online tool for community members to easily submit input on communities of interest and potential district boundaries, in addition to providing paper-based options for submitting feedback.

Agenda Packet Page 10 of 201
Agenda Item No. 4.
• Holding a second community workshop on June 3, 2026 at 6:00 PM in Council Chambers, to assist the public in drawing potential district boundaries and conveying their feedback.
• Conducting in-person outreach around the community, at the Community Center (June 10, 2026), and at the annual City of El Cerrito/worldOne July 4th Festival (July 4, 2026).
• Translating key outreach collateral and documents, including frequently asked questions and instructions for how to provide input, into Spanish and Chinese (Simplified), the two most commonly spoken languages in El Cerrito other than English.
• And, using a variety of public communication channels to engage members of the community and solicit feedback throughout the development of potential maps and the transition to district-based elections, including social media, enewsletters, and other City outreach channels.

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

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

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
There are no financial considerations or action required for this hearing. Costs associated with holding the hearing are covered under the funds appropriated by the City Council to complete the transition process.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved all actions are in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

What is the CVRA?
The California Voting Rights Act is a state law that
prohibits the use of At Large Election Systems in local government if there is Racially Polarized Voting.
“At Large” is defined as anything other than a system in which an elected official lives in a district, and is only elected by members of that district. Does not include “multi-member” districts.

Districts are being drawn under this expedited process, but will not be done in time for the 2026 election. The first election under these lines will be in 2028.
2 Agenda Packet Page 18 of 201
What is Districting
Definition
Districting is the initial process of creating election district boundaries.

These boundaries determine:
• Eligibility to run for office – must live within boundaries to qualify for election.
• Who votes in the election – only voters within the election district.
3 Agenda Packet Page 19 of 201
What is Districting
Definition
Districting is the initial process of creating election district boundaries.

These boundaries do not determine:
• How the City decides to govern. The City Council can still work to achieve goals that benefit the district as a whole rather than the interests of any single district.
• How services or relationships between the City and the public are managed.
4 Agenda Packet Page 20 of 201
What is Redistricting?
Redistricting is at its core the act of equalizing population among districts. After a city districts, this occurs every ten years following the release of the decennial US Census
datasets.

This is important in order to meet two requirements - one constitutional, one from Supreme Court precedent:
- Equal Representation (14th Amendment) - how effective any resident can be at advocating for themselves or being represented within a jurisdiction.
- One Person One Vote - equal ability to elect a candidate of choice. 5 Agenda Packet Page 21 of 201
What is Gerrymandering
Types of Gerrymanders
The two primary types of gerrymanders are
Partisan and Racial, but there are more.

Partisan Gerrymandering – current Supreme Court
has determined these non-justiciable but some state
and local laws have stepped in to ban them.

Racial Gerrymandering – courts have repeatedly
found these to be unlawful, but rules are shifting.

Incumbent Gerrymandering – common in any
redistricting conducted by the agency itself.
6 Agenda Packet Page 22 of 201
Required Redistricting Criteria
There are a number of criteria that are required under the FAIR MAPS Act (ranked):
• Relatively equal size - people, not citizens
• Contiguous – districts should not hop/jump
• Maintain “communities of interest”
• Easily identifiable and understandable lines,
following natural and man-made boundaries
• Keep districts compact – appearance/function
Traditional redistricting principles used throughout the country and written into state law
7 Agenda Packet Page 23 of 201
The FAIR MAPS Act adds more criteria to the process.
• Not consider Incumbents / Candidates.
• Not draw districts to advantage or disadvantage a political party.
• Hold minimum set of hearings, encourage public engagement. • Posting of all districting/redistricting information on a website that is maintained for the next 10 years.

MCE Briefing Overview
Context for City Council Presentation
MCE is California’s first Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program, launched in 2010 to give communities greater choice in their electricity provider while advancing cleaner energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Today, MCE serves more than 600,000 customers across 38 communities, and CCAs collectively provide electricity to over 15 million Californians.

Recent public discussions have raised questions about electricity costs, reliability, and energy sourcing. This document explains how MCE operates in California’s energy system and what it delivers for its communities.

1. Locally governed, not-for-profit public agency
MCE is a locally governed, not-for-profit public agency overseen by a board of elected officials representing its member communities.

This means revenues are reinvested in programs and services, rather than paid to shareholders.

Approximately 95% of MCE’s budget goes directly toward purchasing power.

Remaining funds are reinvested into:
• Customer bill assistance
• Local energy programs
• Clean energy and workforce development initiatives
Since its founding, MCE has reinvested more than $400 million into local programs and services.

2. How electricity costs are structured in California
Electricity in California operates within a highly regulated, statewide system. Many of the largest cost components on a customer’s bill are set at that level and apply across all providers.

These include:
• Wildfire mitigation and grid hardening
• Transmission and distribution infrastructure
Agenda Packet Page 52 of 201
• The Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), sometimes referred to as the PG&E exit fee
For most customers, these delivery and system-related charges make up the majority of a typical electricity bill (70%), while electricity generation represents a smaller portion (30%).

MCE does not own or operate power lines. Its role is to procure electricity and provide customer programs within this broader system.

3. Managing costs on behalf of customers
MCE focuses on the parts of the electricity system it directly controls.

Key actions include:
• A 14% reduction in generation rates in 2026
• $10 million in expanded bill assistance in 2026 for income-qualified customers • Strategically securing energy contracts in order to meet state and Boardapproved targets while keeping customer costs competitive Since 2010, MCE customers have saved an estimated $80 million through lower bills and bill savings programs like the MCE Cares Credit.

4. Clean energy procurement and reporting
MCE’s electricity portfolio exceeds California’s renewable energy requirements.

Its default service is a minimum of 60% renewable, with a 100% renewable option available to all customers.

As California’s clean energy goals have increased, MCE has adjusted its power purchases to stay ahead of those requirements while maintaining reliability and affordability for customers.

All MCE’s renewable energy reporting follows standardized requirements established by the California Energy Commission.

5. Reliability and Resource Adequacy
Electric grid reliability in California is maintained through a statewide program known as Resource Adequacy (RA). This program requires all electricity providers to secure sufficient capacity to ensure power is available during periods of high demand.

Agenda Packet Page 53 of 201
RA focuses on ensuring available capacity for reliability for the broader electricity system. This is separate and distinct from the specific electricity delivered to customers.

Under current grid conditions, a portion of statewide reliability requirements is met using existing natural gas resources. This comes from how the statewide grid operates today, not from any one provider’s individual choices.

MCE meets all Resource Adequacy requirements and continues to invest in:
• Energy storage resources
• Renewable baseload resources
These investments are designed to expand cleaner sources of reliable capacity over time.

6. Long-term planning and risk management
Electricity must be secured in advance within dynamic and often volatile wholesale markets.

MCE uses a mix of long-term and short-term contracts along with financial hedging tools to keep rates more stable over time. This strategy helps protect customers from sudden price fluctuations in the market while supporting long-term planning.

7. Public transparency and oversight
As a public agency, MCE operates with full transparency and accountability. This includes:
• Public board and committee meetings
• Open-session annual budget approval
• Independent financial audits
Executive compensation and organizational performance are reviewed through public processes.

Public workshops are regularly scheduled, and public input is encouraged. Future workshop topics include power procurement, scheduled for June 5, 2026.

Summary
MCE operates within a statewide system where many cost and reliability factors are externally defined.

Within that system, MCE works on behalf of its communities to:

Agenda Packet Page 54 of 201
• Provide more renewable electricity choices
• Manage costs responsibly
• Reinvest revenues locally
• Operate with full public transparency and oversight
MCE is a financially strong, locally governed public agency with multiple investmentgrade credit ratings. We are rooted in the communities we serve — delivering cleaner energy, reinvesting locally, and helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions in measurable ways.

That is the record we’re proud to stand behind.

EL CERRITO CITY COUNCIL PROCLAMATION
Recognizing June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in the City of El Cerrito WHEREAS, the City of El Cerrito has a diverse Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, Queer/Questioning, Intersex and Agender/Asexual (LGBTQIA+) community and is committed to supporting visibility, dignity, and equity for all people in the community; and

WHEREAS, various advancements have been made with respect to equitable treatment of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, Queer/Questioning, Intersex and Agender/Asexual persons throughout the nation, but there continues to be opposition against people from this community and around the world making it important for cities like El Cerrito to stand up and show support for our residents who are affected; and

WHEREAS, June has become a symbolic month in which Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, Queer/Questioning, Intersex and Agender/Asexual people and supporters come together in various celebrations of pride; and WHEREAS, the rainbow flag, also known as the LGBTQIA+ pride flag or gay pride flag, has been used since the 1970s as a symbol of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, Queer/Questioning, Intersex and Agender/Asexual pride and LGBTQIA+ social movements; and
WHEREAS, since 2013 the rainbow flag has been flown at City Hall throughout the month of June to symbolize the City’s celebration of diversity and support for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, Queer/Questioning, Intersex and Agender/Asexual community; and
WHEREAS, the Progress Pride Flag was designed in 2018, adding a 5-colored chevron to the LGBTQIA+ Rainbow Flag to place a greater emphasis on inclusion and progression, while a field of yellow and a purple circle was added in 2021 to create the Intersex Inclusive Pride flag and to symbolize intersex inclusion.

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of El Cerrito does hereby proclaim the month of June 2026 as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in the City of El Cerrito and encourages all members of the community to reflect on the importance of living and working together with mutual respect, dignity, and understanding.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.D.

Date: May 19, 2026
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Christina Leard, Acting Senior Management Analyst and Yvetteh Ortiz, Public Works Director/City Engineer, Public Works Department Subject: Amended and Restated Contra Costa Clean Water Program Agreement

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution approving the City’s continued participation in the Contra Costa Clean Water Program for implementation of the Municipal Regional National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amended and Restated Contra Costa Clean Water Program (CCCWP) Agreement effective July 1, 2026.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City of El Cerrito operates a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) that collects and conveys stormwater from City streets to local creeks and waterways. Under the 1987 amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act), all jurisdictions in the United States are responsible for ensuring compliance with the NPDES program. The State Water Resources Control Board grants regulatory responsibilities for water quality to the Regional Water Quality Control Boards in nine regions throughout California. In the Bay Area, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) regulates the discharge of stormwater runoff from the municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) draining into San Francisco Bay through a Municipal Regional Permit (MRP). The MRP covers Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, as well as the cities of Fairfield, Suisun, and Vallejo.

In 1991, Contra Costa County Permittees entered into an agreement to participate in the preparation of a Joint MS4 NPDES Permit application to minimize the cost to all parties. This cooperative arrangement has evolved and matured over the past 35 years and is now known as the Contra Costa Clean Water Program (CCCWP).

The CCCWP is comprised of Contra Costa County, its 19 incorporated cities and towns, and the County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. The CCCWP coordinates regional compliance and collaborates on programmatic components of the MRP. Working with the member jurisdictions, the CCCWP provides services designed to protect water quality by keeping trash and other pollutants from entering drainage systems that ultimately make their way into local creeks, reservoirs, lakes, and the Bay.

Additionally, the CCCWP coordinates many compliance activities as a region that would otherwise be challenging for member jurisdictions to implement on their own.

Agenda Packet Page 67 of 201
Agenda Item No. 7.D.

The Parties to the Agreement—the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and 19 incorporated cities and towns—are joint permittees under the Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (No. CAS612008), which requires countywide coordination for stormwater compliance. The current joint program agreement for 2010 through 2025, approved by the City Council in July 2010 (Resolution 2010-42) has expired and is being replaced with a new, amended and restated Agreement effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2041.

Due to the expiration of the prior agreement, CCCWP has continued operating on a month-to-month basis, maintaining existing provisions and program responsibilities to ensure ongoing compliance with the MRP until a new long-term agreement is approved.

Over the years, the CCCWP Agreement has been periodically updated to reflect evolving regulatory requirements. Since January 2025, the CCCWP Management Committee has been developing an amended and restated agreement that introduces significant updates to administrative processes, committee structures, and compliance frameworks. Additionally, the amended and restated agreement for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2041 outlines long-term obligations, cost-sharing formulas, and governance provisions for all co-permittees.

Key updates in the draft renewal include:
• Administrative and Contracting Updates: Aligning contracting processes with Contra Costa County procurement standards and clarifying indemnification provisions.
• Committee Structure: Introducing tiered participation based on population size and formalizing roles for subcommittees such as Monitoring, Development, Public Information, and Regional Alternative Compliance (RAC). • Termination and Continuity: Revised withdrawal procedures and a provision allowing the expired agreement to remain in effect until renewal is executed, ensuring uninterrupted compliance.
• Program Staffing Flexibility: Options for staff augmentation to minimize operational disruptions.
• Cost Allocation: Future program costs will be apportioned based on population using a standardized formula.

The proposed updates are not anticipated to result in significant changes to City staff participation or overall program costs. The City of El Cerrito will continue to be classified as a small municipality under the Program’s tiered participation structure, provided the City’s population remains below 30,000. As a result, the City’s level of representation, participation requirements, and relative cost responsibilities are expected to remain generally consistent with current practices.

Agenda Item No. 7.D.

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

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The proposed action will not result in a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). No further environmental review is needed.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
There is no immediate fiscal impact. Future costs will be allocated proportionally based on population as outlined in the Agreement’s cost-sharing formula and are included in the City’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 budget projections under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Fund (Fund 202). Stormwater Utility Assessments (SUA) will continue to offset program costs for participating agencies, although, due to increasing costs associated with inflation and expanding permit requirements, a greater share of available funding will be needed to support regional program efforts, which will reduce the amount of funding returned directly to the City through return-to-source allocations as reported in the March 17, 2026 Agenda Bill regarding the establishment on the annual SUA levies. Continued participation in the CCCWP will keep the City of El Cerrito’s cost of NPDES compliance significantly lower than it would be if the City were to implement stormwater requirements on its own.

Program staff’s work to coordinate compliance with many MRP requirements makes it possible for City staff to successfully implement the City’s individual responsibilities under the MRP more cost effectively than would otherwise be possible.

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

Amended and Restated Contra Costa Clean Water
Program Agreement between
The Contra Costa County Flood Control
and Water Conservation District
and
Agencies Named Below
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is jointly entered into by the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (“District”); the cities of Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, El Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, Oakley, Orinda, Pinole, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, San Ramon, and Walnut Creek; the towns of Danville and Moraga; and, the County of Contra Costa (collectively, the “Parties” and individually each a “Party”; the Parties are sometimes referred to herein as "Co-Permittees" or individually as “Co-Permittee”, and sometimes as “Agencies" or individually as “Agency”). This Agreement is entered into as of July 1, 2026 (“Effective Date”).

RECITALS
A. The Parties are joint permittees under the Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") Permit issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. NPDES Permit No. CAS612008 or an equivalent regional stormwater NPDES permit issued to the Parties is collectively referred to herein as the “Municipal Regional NPDES Permit.” Under current law, each issuance of the Regional Municipal NPDES Permit is expected to expire five years from its effective date, but may be amended, revoked, or reissued before the expiration date, or administratively extended beyond the expiration date pending reissuance.

B. The cities, towns and County have previously entered into joint program agreements with the District. As set forth more particularly in Section B below, the Parties wish to extend the joint agreement until terminated by the written agreement of all Co-Permittees then Parties to this Agreement. The purpose of this Agreement is to amend and extend the prior agreement on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

A. Program Activities.

In accordance with the management and organizational structure set forth herein, the Contra Costa Clean Water Program (“Program”) shall administer the joint obligations under the Regional Municipal NPDES Permit on behalf of the Parties and implement the activities jointly carried out pursuant to this Agreement by the Parties including, but not limited to, the following Agenda Packet Page 73 of 201
2 13074-0002\3219843v1.doc
activities:

1. Provide the necessary administrative, technical, and clerical resources to implement all Program activities directed by the Management Committee in order to implement the Municipal Regional NPDES Permit. By way of example, this includes the development of an old industrial control measure plan pursuant to Provision C.11.c of the current Municipal Regional NPDES Permit. Administrative activities may include attending all Management Committee and sub-committee meetings, and preparing committee staff reports, minutes and/or summaries of committee actions.

2. Administer all consulting services contracts (technical, legal, public relations and associated services) including the coordination, invoicing, and monitoring of all such activities.

3. Represent the Program at federal, state, regional and local governmental, civic, professional, and political organizations and agencies.

4. Coordinate the yearly compilation of the Program’s (Group Program) Annual Reports for submittal to the appropriate Regional Water Quality Control Boards, but not the individual agencies’ annual reports under the Municipal Regional NPDES Permit. However, the Program will develop Municipal Regional NPDES Permit compliance plans for individual agencies.

5. Conduct monitoring activities, which may include the permitting, environmental review of, purchase, installation and testing of equipment at designated sites.

6. Ensure all regulatory fees and assessments collected by the Agencies and necessary to obtain and implement the Municipal Regional NPDES Permit are lawful, appropriate and, if so, paid.

7. Ensure adequate information is available to all Co-Permittees for implementation of a comprehensive stormwater management ordinance and its regulations in compliance with the Municipal Regional NPDES Permit.

8. Implement a comprehensive public information/participation program on behalf of all Co-Permittees. The Program will be responsible for developing independently or in cooperation with the Bay Area Municipal Stormwater Collaborative (“BAMSC”) original public information materials; and, Co-Permittees shall be responsible for reproducing and distributing these materials.

9. As part of the Program’s annual budgeting process, the Management Committee may fund the Program’s participation in special studies determined by the Program, the Regional Water Quality Control Boards, BAMSC, California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA), if any, or other appropriate entities. Such participation may include funding or in-kind Agenda Packet Page 74 of 201

services, such as Program representation on BAMSC as determined by the Management Committee.

10. Ensure adequate information is available for Co-Permittees to implement a comprehensive program for field inspection and investigation activities for unauthorized connections and illegal dumping.

11. Ensure adequate information is available for Co-Permittees to implement source controls, site design measures, and stormwater treatment and runoff control measures on new development and redevelopment projects, and to ensure ongoing operation and maintenance of post-construction stormwater management facilities.

12. Ensure adequate information is available for Co-Permittees to mitigate impacts to stormwater quality resulting from construction activities specifically focusing on proper site management; erosion control; sediment control; run-on and runoff control; nonstormwater management control; and, proper operation and maintenance of such construction site control best management practices (“BMPs”).

13. Expend funds collected by assessments for the District’s Stormwater Utility Areas Nos. 1 through 18 (“SUA”) and other sources in accordance with applicable law and regulations and the Program’s annual budget, as adopted by the Management Committee.

B. Termination.

This Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by the written agreement of all Co-Permittees then parties to this Agreement. Should any individual Co-Permittee desire to withdraw from the Program and terminate its obligations under this Agreement at any time, the following conditions must be met:

1. The Co-Permittee shall provide written notice to the Program Manager (as defined below) and Management Committee chairperson and vice chairperson of its intention to withdraw from the Program by no later than 5:00 p.m., of the December 31 immediately preceding the commencement of the following fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) before which it is seeking to terminate its obligations under this Agreement. To ensure an orderly transition, the withdrawing Co-Permittee shall also obtain written confirmation from the Regional Water Quality Control Board Executive Officer that such Co-Permittee has obtained or will obtain coverage under an NPDES Permit for its municipal stormwater discharges. A copy of the Executive Officer’s written confirmation shall be provided to the Management Committee chairperson and vice chairperson along with the notice of withdrawal.

2. The Co-Permittee shall be committed to fulfill all of its financial obligations outlined in this Agreement through the end of the fiscal year (June 30) in which it submits its notice of withdrawal. Termination shall be effective as of 11:59 p.m. on June 30 of that fiscal year.

Agenda Packet Page 75 of 201
4 13074-0002\3219843v1.doc

3. The Co-Permittee shall also fulfill all of its individual obligations for projects, studies, and other programs and activities undertaken on behalf of the Program or BAMSC through the duration of any such projects, studies, programs, and activities. The terminating Co-Permittee’s obligations under this Section B.3. shall survive termination as to that Co-Permittee until the terminating Co-Permittee’s obligations under this Section are fully satisfied.

4. In the event that a Co-Permittee does not fully fund its obligations under this Agreement from its SUA assessments or appropriate sufficient funds for any fiscal year beyond the 2025-2026 fiscal year, this Agreement shall cover payment for the Co-Permittee’s financial obligations only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which the Co-Permittee appropriates sufficient funds. Thereafter, such Co-Permittee’s financial obligations shall be automatically suspended, and the Co-Permittee shall receive no benefit arising out of this Agreement, until the Co-Permittee appropriates sufficient funding to meet its financial obligations in such fiscal year(s).

C. Management Committee.

1. The Management Committee (“MC”) is the Program’s decision-making body. It shall be responsible for setting policies, providing directions, approving contracts and agreements, approving group submittals to the Regional Water Quality Control Boards, authorizing expenditures, and advising on staffing in accordance with Section J below. Within five years following the effective date, and every five years thereafter, the Management Committee shall perform an evaluation of the Program and deliver a report to the Co-Permittees that includes the Management Committee findings.

2. Each Co-Permittee’s manager (i.e., city or town manager or county administrator) shall designate in writing and submit to the Program Manager, and chairperson or vice chairperson of the Management Committee, the Management Committee representative and alternate(s) for their jurisdiction. The designated Management Committee representative and alternate(s) may be identified by job classifications or as named individuals. The CoPermittee’s manager shall designate at least one (1) Management Committee representative and no less than two (2) alternate Management Committee representatives. The Management Committee representative or, in the absence of the representative, one alternative Management Committee representative, shall vote on behalf of their Agency at all Management Committee meetings. Each Co-Permittee shall have only one vote on the Management Committee, even if both the designated representative and an alternate(s) attend the same meeting. The voting decisions of the Management Committee representatives shall be binding upon their Agency, provided they are consistent with the delegations of authority contained in this agreement.

3. A Management Committee representative shall be an individual responsible for supervising or administering the stormwater management program for their appointing Agency. An alternate should, but need not, meet the foregoing criteria.

Agenda Packet Page 76 of 201
5 13074-0002\3219843v1.doc

4. A Management Committee representative’s term shall continue for the entire term of the Agreement unless changed by the Co-Permittee’s manager by providing written notification to the Program Manager.

5. Any decision made by the Management Committee shall be binding upon all Co-Permittees, provided it is consistent with the delegations of authority in this Agreement.

Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement delegates legislative authority of any Agency or the discretion vested in each Agency’s governing body. If the Management Committee acts in a manner inconsistent with the authority delegated by this Agreement, any such action shall not be binding upon any Agency unless approved or ratified by that Agency’s governing body. This Agreement does not create a joint exercise of powers agency separate from the agencies, and the Contra Costa Clean Water Program is not a legal person that can enter into contracts or sue and be sued.

6. The Management Committee chairperson and vice chairperson shall be selected by a majority vote of the Management Committee members at each May Management Committee meeting and shall hold those offices beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of the following fiscal year.

D. Sub-committee Structures.

The following Program sub-committees are hereby established:

If absences continue, then the Membership Management Committee may request that the Co-Permittee’s manager appoint a new representative to the Management Committee or sub-committee, as the case may be.

G. Program Costs Participation and Allocation.

1. The program costs for Fiscal Year 20254-20265 are apportioned among the co-permittees as set forth in Exhibit “C”B, attached hereto. In Fiscal Year 2025-2026, and in each fiscal year thereafter, all program costs for that fiscal year shall be apportioned among CoPermittees proportionally based on each Co-Permittee’s population as of January 1 immediately preceding the fiscal year, in relation to the total population of all Co-Permittees as of January 1 immediately preceding the fiscal year, calculated as follows:
[(Co-permittee’s population as of January 1) / (All co-permittee’s population as of January 1)] x 100 = Percentage of Program Costs Apportioned to Co-Permittee (“Cost Sharing Formula”).

Population data will be based on data annually published by the State of California, Department of Finance, on January 1 immediately preceding the Fiscal Year for which the calculation is made.

The population data published in January of the preceding year will be used to form the cost allocations of the following fiscal year.

Agenda Packet Page 81 of 201
10 13074-0002\3219843v1.doc

2. The Management Committee shall annually prepare and approve a budget setting forth all anticipated Program costs and revenues for the following fiscal year.

3. Each Co-Permittee shall pay its share of the annual budget in accordance with the Cost Sharing Formula. If a Co-Permittee receives SUA assessments, then the District will apply lawfully collected SUAs to such Co-Permittee’s share of the annual budget. District staff shall annually submit an invoice to each Co-Permittee for each fiscal year reflecting each CoPermittee’s Program costs no later than February 28th of each year (for the first SUA disbursement statement); June 30th (for the second SUA disbursement statement); and October 31st (for the third SUA disbursement statement). Upon receiving an invoice from the Program, each Co-Permittee shall pay its invoice to the District within sixty (60) days of the invoice’s date.

4. A Co-Permittee will be delinquent if its invoiced payment is not received by the District within sixty (60) days after the invoice’s date. The District will follow the procedure listed below, or such other procedure that the Management Committee directs to effectuate payment: 1) verbally contact the Co-Permittee’s manager; and 2) submit a formal letter from the Management Committee’s chairperson to the Co-Permittee. If payment is not received within ninety (90) days of the invoice date, then the delinquent co-permittee may be subject to termination from this Agreement and withdrawal under Section B. Thereafter, the Cost Share Formula shall be revised to reflect the new Program membership and the Management Committee shall revise its budget and Program cost allocations in accordance with the Cost Sharing Formula to account for the delinquent Permittee’s costs. A terminated Co-Permittee shall remain obligated to District for its delinquent payments and any other obligations incurred prior to the date of termination.

5. The Management Committee may suspend or modify the scope of work being performed by any contractor retained by the District whenever any Co-Permittee has not paid its invoice within ninety (90) days of the invoice date.

6. Any delinquent payments by a Co-Permittee shall accrue compound interest at the average rate of interest paid by the Local Agency Investment Fund during the time that the payment is delinquent.

H. Optional Services.

Additional services requested by a Co-Permittee to fulfill requirements of the Regional Municipal NPDES Permit may be provided by Program staff as long as the services minimally burden Program staffing and are approved by the Management Committee. Such requests shall be submitted in writing to the Management Committee and shall explain the services requested of Program staff or contractors. Such services shall be completely paid for by the requesting Co-Permittee at the fully burdened labor rate of the applicable Program staff, and the Program shall bear no financial responsibility for the requested services. Such services requested by a Co-Permittee may include consultant or contractor assistance involving a contract directly between the individual Co-Permittee and the District, at the District’s discretion. The Agenda Packet Page 82 of 201
11 13074-0002\3219843v1.doc
Program shall bear no financial responsibility for such contracts.

I. Contracting.

1. In accordance with the procedures set forth herein, and on behalf of the Program, the District shall enter into and administer all contracts for the Program and implementation of the Municipal Regional NPDES Permit. The District shall pay all contractors in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the applicable contract.

2. Prior to the District entering into a contract or amending a contract on behalf of the Program, the Management Committee shall establish an independent selection committee as an Ad Hoc Workgroup pursuant to Section D.7. The independent selection committee may prepare an RFP, conduct interviews and take such other actions as requested by the Management Committee. The independent selection committee shall thereafter make a recommendation on a proposed contract and contractor to the Management Committee. Upon considering the independent selection committee’s recommendation, the Management Committee shall thereafter make a recommendation to the District, which shall have final approval authority over the contract and contractor.

3. Contracts may be entered into with a maximum term of five years, provided each contract must include either a termination for convenience clause, or a clause allowing termination for non-appropriation of funds. Contracts entered into for a period less than five years may be extended, based upon satisfactory performance, for a total contract term of five years.

4. For a contract scope of work designated as a “technical service” by the Management Committee, then the independent selection committee shall also consider responses from Co-Permittees who respond in writing and request to provide the requested technical service as part of an RFP process.

5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, all contracting processes on behalf of the Program shall comply with the District’s procurement process.

6. If a Co-Permittee other than Contra Costa County or the District intends to contract on behalf of the Program, then a separate agreement between the District and such CoPermittee shall be executed setting forth the terms of the Co-Permittee’s contracting role. The Management Committee shall review and approve such separate agreement.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.E.

Date: May 19, 2026
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Christina Leard, Acting Senior Management Analyst and Yvetteh Ortiz, Public Works Director/City Engineer, Public Works Department Subject: Group Program Inspection Activities Agreement between the City of El Cerrito, the West County Wastewater District, and the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Group Program Inspection Activities Agreement between the City of El Cerrito, the West County Wastewater District, and the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District effective July 1, 2026.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City of El Cerrito operates a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) that collects and conveys stormwater from City streets to local creeks and waterways. Under the 1987 amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act), all jurisdictions in the United States are responsible for ensuring compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) program. The State Water Resources Control Board grants regulatory responsibilities for water quality to the Regional Water Quality Control Boards in nine regions throughout California. In the Bay Area, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) regulates the discharge of stormwater runoff from the municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) draining into San Francisco Bay through a Municipal Regional Permit (MRP). The MRP covers Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, as well as the cities of Fairfield, Suisun, and Vallejo.

In 1991, Contra Costa County Permittees entered into an agreement to participate in the preparation of a Joint MS4 NPDES Permit application to minimize the cost to all parties. This cooperative arrangement has evolved and matured over the past 35 years and is now known as the Contra Costa Clean Water Program (CCCWP). The CCCWP is comprised of Contra Costa County, its 19 incorporated cities and towns, and the County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. The CCCWP coordinates regional compliance and collaborates on programmatic components of the MRP.

Working with the member jurisdictions, the CCCWP provides services designed to protect water quality by keeping trash and other pollutants from entering drainage systems that ultimately make their way into local creeks, reservoirs, lakes, and the Bay.

Additionally, the CCCWP coordinates many compliance activities as a region that would otherwise be challenging for member jurisdictions to implement on their own.

Agenda Packet Page 93 of 201
Agenda Item No. 7.E.

The MRP specifies that the City undertake activities to eliminate non-stormwater discharges into the MS4. One of the many provisions included in the permit (C.4 Industrial and Commercial Site Controls) stipulates the City’s responsibility for conducting regular inspections of industrial and commercial facilities for the purpose of eliminating illicit discharges resulting from illegal processes or activities. Since 2003, the City has participated in a CCCWP Inspection Activities Agreement under which the costs of inspection services for El Cerrito are paid from El Cerrito’s Stormwater Utility Assessments (City Council Resolutions No. 2000-35 and 2013-61). Through the Inspection Activities Agreement, and under direction of the City, inspections are performed by another agency on behalf of the City to achieve compliance with MRP requirements.

The inspections include educational efforts, report preparation, and issuance of Notices of Violation, Warning Notices, and Compliance Orders on behalf of the City. In El Cerrito, inspections are focused on commercial businesses, primarily on automotive repair, restaurant operations, and mobile businesses where the greatest occurrences of potential stormwater pollution violations would likely be found. West County Wastewater District has been performing these inspections on behalf of El Cerrito since 2013 as they can be done efficiently along with its wastewater inspections.

The renewal of the Group Program Inspection Activities Agreement is critical to ensure continued compliance with the Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) 3.0, which became effective on May 11, 2022, and introduced new and enhanced requirements for Provision C.4 – Commercial and Industrial Site Controls. These updates significantly expand inspection obligations for permittees, including:
• Inspection Frequency and Coverage: MRP 3.0 mandates periodic inspections of commercial and industrial facilities to verify stormwater best management practices (BMPs) and pollutant source controls.
• Enhanced Documentation and Reporting: The permit requires detailed tracking of inspection findings, corrective actions, and follow-up activities, which must be accurately reported in annual compliance reports.
• Expanded Facility Categories: Additional facility types (e.g. mobile businesses) now fall under inspection requirements, increasing the workload and complexity for individual permittees.
• Integration with Enforcement Protocols: MRP 3.0 emphasizes timely enforcement actions for non-compliance, requiring coordinated efforts and consistent application of enforcement procedures across jurisdictions.

The existing Inspection Activities Agreement, which facilitates shared inspection services through Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, West County Wastewater District, and Delta Diablo Sanitation District, has proven essential for meeting these obligations efficiently and cost-effectively.

Agenda Packet Page 94 of 201
Agenda Item No. 7.E.

Without a renewed agreement, individual permittees would face significant challenges in maintaining compliance, including:
• Resource Constraints: Many jurisdictions lack the staffing and technical expertise to independently meet the expanded inspection requirements. • Cost Implications: Shared services reduce duplication of effort and allow economies of scale, minimizing overall program costs.
• Continuity of Compliance: The renewed agreement ensures continued inspection activities in compliance with MRP requirements.

The renewed agreement (Attachment 2) incorporates administrative updates, invoicing improvements, backup staffing provisions, and alignment with MRP 3.0 requirements, ensuring that the Group Program remains a robust and collaborative mechanism for compliance. Additionally, the agreement includes a provision to maintain the existing agreement in effect until the new one is executed, safeguarding against service interruptions during the renewal process. New provisions in the agreement also clarify that costs eligible for reimbursement include, but are not necessarily limited to, labor, benefits, overhead, supplies, equipment, vehicle, laboratory, consultant, and insurance costs. Unlike the previous agreement, the renewed agreement incorporates fully burdened rates, which will result in increased program costs. However, participation in the shared regional program will continue to be more cost-effective than implementing these requirements independently, as shared services reduce duplication of effort, create economies of scale, and provide access to staffing and technical resources that the City does not currently have capacity to support on its own.

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

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The proposed action will not result in a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). No further environmental review is needed.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
There is no immediate fiscal impact. Since 2003, the City has participated in a CCCWP Inspection Activities Agreement under which the costs of inspection services for El Cerrito are paid from El Cerrito’s Stormwater Utility Assessments, which is established and adopted annually by City Council.

Agenda Packet Page 95 of 201
Agenda Item No. 7.E.

Each year, City staff plans for 44 commercial and industrial facility inspections to be completed to comply with the MRP 3.0 requirements. Additional inspections may be necessary based on enforcement actions that require follow-up. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25, there were 44 planned inspections, and an additional 19 enforcement inspections, for a total of 65 inspections performed with a total of 105 hours billed. With the new agreement, the West County Wastewater District will bill inspections at a fully burdened hourly rate of $253.85 per hour. The projected inspection costs paid to the West County Wastewater District for 65 inspections is $26,655.

The actual amount will vary depending on how many enforcement actions are taken. FY 2024-25 was one of the more high-activity years for enforcement, so City staff estimates that this amount is conservative. Stormwater Utility Assessments (SUA) will continue to offset program costs; however, due to increased inspection costs under the revised agreement, return-to-source funds available to the City are expected to be reduced over the next several fiscal years as reported in the March 17, 2026 Agenda Bill regarding the establishment on the annual SUA levies. These changes are included in the City’s FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 budget projections under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Fund (Fund 202).

Continued participation in the Group Program Inspection Agreement will keep the City of El Cerrito’s cost of MRP C.4 Commercial and Industrial Inspections compliance significantly lower than it would be if the City were to implement this requirement on its own. CCCWP staff’s work to coordinate compliance of many MRP requirements makes it possible for City staff to successfully implement its individual responsibilities under the MRP more cost effectively than would otherwise be possible.

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

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 8.A.

Date: May 19, 2026
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Shannon Bassi, Human Resources Manager, City Management Subject: Annual Public Hearing on Vacancies, Recruitment and Retention Efforts

ACTION PROPOSED
Conduct a public hearing to receive and file a report on workforce vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts in compliance with Assembly Bill 2561.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Assembly Bill 2561, which took effect on January 1, 2025, requires that public agencies hold at least one public hearing per fiscal year to discuss City workforce vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts for the prior calendar year. This presentation is for informational purposes only regarding the status of the City’s vacancies and its recruitment and retention efforts.

AB 2561, codified as Government Code section 3502.3, was introduced to address the issue of job vacancies in local government, which can adversely impact service delivery and employee workload. Among other requirements, the bill mandates that public agencies conduct a public hearing to present the status of vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts before the agency’s governing body at least once per fiscal year. The annual hearing must be presented to the governing body prior to adoption of the following fiscal year’s budget. The goal is to identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process and explore possible solutions to address obstacles.

In compliance with the new regulations, the City is required to present the following information and provide an opportunity for participation by Employee Organizations:

Vacancy Report
For the calendar year 2025, the City’s annual average percentage of vacancies was 10%. The following table outlines the percentage of vacancies at the beginning of each month.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

Date: May 19, 2026
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Claire Coleman, Budget/Financial Services Manager; Crystal Reams, Finance Director/City Treasurer, Finance Department
Subject: Public Hearing and Approval of Fiscal Year 2026-27 Master Fee Schedule

ACTION PROPOSED
Hold a public hearing and, upon conclusion, adopt a resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Master Fee Schedule.

BACKGROUND
The Master Fee Schedule, which includes all City user fees, charges for services, planning and building fees, and business license tax rates, is revised annually as required by El Cerrito Municipal Code §4.01.010. Adjustments to fees and charges for service are intended to cover changes in the City’s cost of providing programs and services.

During Fiscal Year 2024-25, the City contracted with Willdan to conduct a cost allocation study and a user fee study to analyze the costs and fees to propose adjustments to the City’s Master Fee Schedule. The Cost Allocation Study and User Fee Study determine the total costs of different City operations and the costs of providing the programs and services listed in the Master Fee Schedule. For FY 2026- 27, staff used the cost allocation and user fee models to update the calculated fees to ensure that they reflect the current costs of providing services. Since the original fee study was conducted, the City has seen significant cost increases, including higher insurance and materials costs, higher benefit costs, and new labor agreements with its unions which resulted in market adjustments to many positions in addition to cost of living increases.

The City utilized the Cost Allocation and Fee Studies and inflation statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Western Metropolitan Area (San FranciscoOakland-Hayward) as well as impacts from the City’s labor contracts and other costs of providing services. For building permit fees, consistent with the fee program, the City used the Engineering News Construction Cost Index and Building Valuation, with a Bay Area adjuster. After the proposed changes, City fees do not exceed the costs of providing services for which the fees are charged.

Agenda Packet Page 122 of 201
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

The recommended changes to fees in the Master Fee schedule are proposed to bring the fees in line with the updated costs of the related programs and services. In some cases, a proposed fee may not fully cover the cost of the program or services, but maintaining a below-cost fee (subsidizing) or reducing the fee may be recommended to encourage certain types of activities and to maintain alignment with other cities and organizations that have comparable programs. Increases in fees were also analyzed to be consistent with legal restrictions and regulatory guidelines. Staff also rounded fees to the nearest .05 where appropriate to account for the sunsetting of the penny, especially for fees that may be paid for in cash.

Business license tax rates are adjusted annually per El Cerrito Municipal Code Chapter

4.32 based on the percent change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward metropolitan area, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, measured from a fixed February 1988 base value of 117.0. For FY 2026-27, the CPI-W increased 1.7 percent for the 12 months ending February 2026. Gross receipts taxes under Sections

4.32.370 and 4.32.380 are excluded from this adjustment. Business License Taxes are calculated separately from other fee updates but are included in the same Master Fee Schedule.

ANALYSIS
The FY 2026-27 proposed fee changes reflect various increases and decreases, excluding fees governed by regulatory or other restrictions or allowable cost recovery recommendations. Several new fees are proposed to support new services or state mandates, including new fees that were added in October 2025 during a mid-year revision of the Master Fee Schedule. The primary adjustment factors include cost of living adjustments for City staff, inflationary impacts on the City's costs, and/or reevaluation of costs for services through the City-wide cost allocation plan study and the user fee study conducted by Willdan on behalf of the City.

Department staff have identified adjustments to several fees beyond the otherwise routine updates:

1. Public Works - Tree Planting Fees. The Public Works Department recommends reducing the Street Tree Planting by Property Owner fee by 50 percent to $294 and the New Street Tree Planting and Related Work by City fee by 50 percent to $698. These fees increased significantly in FY 2025-26, by 803 percent and 267 percent, respectively, as part of a pilot to assess resident willingness to pay at full cost recovery levels. No residents pursued tree planting permits during FY 2025-26, suggesting the fees present a barrier to participation.

The proposed reductions are intended to encourage tree planting activity consistent with City policy goals reflected in the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), Urban Greening Plan (UGP), Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP), and the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan.

Agenda Packet Page 123 of 201
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

2. Public Works - Recycling Center Bulk Drop-Off. The Public Works Department recommends increasing the bulk drop-off fee from $8.25 per cubic yard to $20.00 per cubic yard, and expanding the eligible materials list to include metals and electronics. The current fee does not adequately reflect the labor and operational costs associated with bulk drop-off events, which require staff to set up and break down boxes and pallets, monitor incoming materials to prevent improper disposal, and manage post-event cleanup. The Recycling Center has also seen increased volumes of bulk metals and electronics deliveries. The proposed fee would apply to drop-offs of one cubic yard or more (approximately 26 bankers boxes), with a $20.00 minimum charge. Eligible materials would include cardboard, paper, books, magazines, newspaper, metals, and electronics. The Recycling Center is continuing its curbside recycling pickup program, which allows residents and business to schedule one free annual pickup on demand for bulk recyclables or one large or three small e-waste items.

3. Police - Concealed Carry Weapon Permit Fees. The Police Department proposes adjusting Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit fees. Through process improvements and operational efficiencies, the Police Department has reduced the staff time required to process CCW permits, resulting in lower calculated costs. The Department also recommends adding two new fees for permit renewal and duplicate/modification.

4. Police - Overtime Hourly Rates for Corporal and Cadet. Staff identified data entry errors in the current-year adopted fees for two Police Department hourly positions, Police Corporal overtime and Cadet overtime, which were recorded at rates significantly below their calculated fully burdened cost. The proposed fees reflect the correct fully burdened rates derived from the City's Cost Allocation Study, consistent with all other Police Department hourly classifications.

5. Planning - Inclusionary Monitoring. The Community Development Department reevaluated the process and identified efficiencies to decrease two of the Inclusionary Housing-related fees. Staff note that no inclusionary units have been generated since the applicable ordinance was adopted in 2018 and fees may be readjusted in future fee schedule updates after inclusionary units are built and staff gain more knowledge of the associated costs.

6. Building - ADU Amnesty Fees. The Community Development Department recommends subsidizing fees related to the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Amnesty Program, which was established in accordance with Assembly Bill 2533 to provide a streamlined legalization pathway for unpermitted ADUs. The subsidy is intended to keep costs accessible for homeowners and encourage participation in the program, supporting life safety compliance and reducing liability risks associated with unpermitted units.

7. Recreation - Overnight Camps. The Recreation Department recommends removing overnight camp fees from the fee schedule, as they are determined by the Sonoma County Family YMCA, the City's partner, and collected only as passthrough fees. Future recreation guides will still provide information about these fees, but they do not require City Council adoption because they are not City fees.

Agenda Packet Page 124 of 201
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

8. Recreation - Swim Center. The Recreation Department recommends increasing the fitness swim drop-in fee by $1.00 while adding a $1.00 resident discount, keeping the cost to residents the same as in previous years. This approach addresses El Cerrito's drop-in rates being the highest in the area, helping ensure residents choose their local pool over what might be more affordable neighboring facilities.

Staff also noted a required update to the City's business license tax exemption threshold. Under Municipal Code section 4.32.080, the City exempts businesses from paying a business license tax if they earn gross receipts lower than $8,300, to be adjusted annually for inflation. Staff identified that the exemption threshold had not been updated historically along with the fee schedule, and recommend updating it to the current inflation-adjusted total of $15,693. This change will increase the number of businesses who are eligible for an exemption from paying the business license tax.

Businesses who may qualify under this exemption must still apply for a business license, but staff may determine that the applicant qualifies for the exemption on the basis of their gross receipts being under the established threshold.

Attachment 1, FY 2026-27 Proposed Master Fee Schedule, details all of the proposed fee changes, other adjustments, or movement/relocation of fees to other fee subcategories.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization by allowing the City to ensure that revenue meets the cost of providing services.

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

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The estimated revenue generated by the proposed updates to fees, charges for service, and business license taxes will be included in the City’s FY 2026-27/FY 2027-28 Proposed Budget for the City Council's consideration in June.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
All fees listed in the Master Fee Schedule will become effective July 1, 2026, on the first day of the new fiscal year, except for Development Fees, which will become effective 60 days after approval of this schedule, and some Swim Center, Day Camp, and Preschool Fees, which will become effective August 24, 2026.

The Planning Manager may determine a project to be unusually complex or time consuming and require a deposit at the time of application for estimated staff, consultant, and City Attorney costs. If a standard fee has previously been paid, additional deposits may be required to cover extraordinary costs resulting from unforeseen complexities, delays or extra meetings. Hourly staff costs are based on employee wages and benefits, overhead, equipment and supervision, as determined by the City’s Cost Allocation Study. Charges for third-party consultants will equal actual contract costs plus 30% administrative charge. Fees for entitlements requiring a public hearing and other similar applications include one review of the initial application submittal and review of up to two resubmittals. Review of additional resubittals will incur additional fees based on staff time.

NEW CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER FEES BASED ON VALUATION
The following table is used to calculate permit (Issuance and Inspection) fees based on the valuation of all new residential, commercial, and industrial construction either not covered in or referenced by the Miscellaneous Building Permit Fee table. Valuation will be determined by the 1997 UBC Valuation Table and adjusted by the S.F.

Bay Area Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index increase from 1997 to June 2025 or by actual contract price when the type of construction is not represented in the Valuation Table. Plan review is additional and is calculated at 65% of the established permit fee. Plan Review Fee for modular/factory built housing is charged at 10% less than the Plan Review fee for site-built projects.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 9.A.

Date: May 19, 2026
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Claire Coleman, Budget/Financial Services Manager; Crystal Reams, Finance Director/City Treasurer; Finance Department
Subject: Fiscal Year 2026-27 and 2027-28 Budget Study Session #3

ACTION PROPOSED
Conduct a study session on the FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 Biennial Budget, including:
• Review of the City Council budget for adoption
• Review of updated budget balancing scenarios B+ and C+ • Direct staff on preferred scenario for budget development

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the May 5, 2026 Budget Study Session, the City Council reviewed four budget balancing scenarios for the FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 Biennial Budget. The City Council provided feedback and directed staff to return with modified scenarios that fall between the original Scenarios B and C. The City Council expressed interest in preserving landscape maintenance services, retaining grant writing and lobbying services given the significant outside funding those contracts help secure, and maintaining special programs where fiscally possible, while acknowledging that some reductions to city programs and services will be necessary. Staff are proposing two new scenarios, Scenario B+ and Scenario C+, that reflect the City Council's feedback along with several material budget adjustments that have occurred since May 5. The City Council is asked to select a preferred scenario and direct staff to develop the Proposed Budget for consideration and adoption in June 2026.

BACKGROUND
Several budget adjustments have been made since the May 5 study session. These are reflected in both Scenario B+ and Scenario C+:
• Cost Allocation Plan Update. The overhead cost allocation figures have been updated based on the draft FY 2026-27 budget and the proposed Master Fee Schedule, resulting in a modest net improvement to General Fund cost recovery relative to the May 5 figures.
• Insurance and Workers' Compensation Increase. Following the May 5 meeting, the City received updated insurance and workers' compensation estimates from Municipal Pooling Authority (MPA). These reflect an increase of approximately $100,000 in FY 2026-27, with a compounding increase in FY 2027-28 using the higher FY 2026-27 figure as the new base. Both scenarios reflect these updated projections.

Agenda Packet Page 183 of 201
Agenda Item No. 9.A.
• Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Replacement. The City's SCBA equipment, the pressurized air tanks and masks firefighters wear in smoke and hazardous environments, requires replacement in FY 2027-28 under federal law.

This cost had previously been included in the operating budget. It is now identified as a one-time expenditure, consistent with its non-recurring nature, at a total estimated cost of $500,000. One-third of that cost is reimbursed by the Kensington Fire Protection District per the existing service contract, resulting in a net budget impact of approximately $330,000 in FY 2027-28. • Fire Equipment Internal Service Fund Adjustments. The approach to funding the fire engine has been updated in both new scenarios. Both B+ and C+ set aside approximately $925,000 to an internal service fund (ISF) in FY 2026-27, with approximately $589,000 in FY 2027-28 (for both the Fire Engine and SCBAs).

This restructuring is designed to smooth one-time costs across both budget years. Because other costs, including the SCBA replacement and higher insurance costs, escalate significantly in FY 2027-28, concentrating the larger fire engine ISF contribution in FY 2026-27 allows the City to absorb both one-time costs without making deeper operational cuts that are not structurally necessary.

ANALYSIS
The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) budget covers the City's day-to-day costs, including staffing, services, utilities, contracts, and other recurring expenses, along with the revenues that support them. A structurally balanced O&M budget means ongoing revenues cover ongoing costs. Both Scenario B+ and Scenario C+ achieve a meaningful O&M surplus in both FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28. That surplus is what allows the City to absorb one-time costs without drawing on General Fund reserves, or with only minimal draws.

One-time costs are separate from the O&M budget. They are large, non-recurring expenditures, and in this budget cycle they consist primarily of the fire engine and SCBA replacement. Because these costs are funded through ISF contributions generated by the O&M surplus rather than by drawing down reserves, the City's reserve balance remains stable. The ISF approach also ensures that future replacement costs are planned for systematically.

While both scenarios project a significant O&M surplus in the two budget years, that surplus is expected to narrow beginning in FY 2028-29 as costs, particularly CalPERS payments and insurance, continue to rise before beginning to decrease in the early 2030s. The structural cuts in these scenarios are designed to position the City to remain fiscally stable through that period without requiring additional cuts in future years.

About Internal Service Funds
An internal service fund is a dedicated City account used to save up for known future costs, similar to a savings account set aside for a specific purpose. Rather than paying for a large asset all at once from the General Fund when it needs to be replaced, the City makes regular annual contributions to the ISF over time. When the replacement cost comes due, the funds are already set aside.

Agenda Packet Page 184 of 201
Agenda Item No. 9.A.

In prior years, El Cerrito could not maintain adequate ISF contributions for vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure. As a result, when large costs arose, such as the current fire engine replacement, the City had no dedicated reserves and was forced to rely on General Fund balance. Both B+ and C+ establish and maintain ongoing ISF contributions so that future replacements are planned for and funded in advance.

Graph 1: Example Internal Service Fund Contribution Schedule Graph 1 illustrates a sample internal service fund (ISF) contribution schedule for selfcontained breathing apparatus (SCBA) equipment. Beginning with the initial replacement purchase in FY 2027-28, annual General Fund contributions accumulate over 10 years until the next replacement in FY 2037-38 as required by federal safety standards. The chart demonstrates how consistent, forward-looking contributions allow the City to fund major equipment replacements without absorbing the full cost in a single budget year. As the City expands its use of ISFs, the Finance Department will work with departments to develop and maintain replacement schedules tracking costs and contribution needs for major equipment and vehicles across the organization.

Scenario Overview
Both scenarios build on the same foundation established in the May 5 scenarios:
updated overhead cost allocations, utilization of special revenue funds for allowable costs, formalized vehicle and equipment replacement ISF contributions, technology infrastructure investment, and citywide non-personnel reductions. Both scenarios also reflect all of the material budget changes described above.

Agenda Packet Page 185 of 201
Agenda Item No. 9.A.

The two scenarios are similar. The primary differences are in the depth of reductions to a small number of line items: the City Council travel and training budget, the Fourth of July General Fund contribution, grant writing and lobbying services, the EC Stars High School Internship Program, and landscape maintenance.

Both scenarios include a reduction to landscape maintenance. The City Council expressed hesitation at the May 5 meeting about deep cuts to landscape maintenance.

Staff believe the $15,000 annual reduction included in both scenarios is manageable, though residents may notice some visible changes to City landscapes, including increased litter accumulation, greater weed growth, and longer grass at affected locations. At this level, contract services would be reduced at select residential streetscapes and Fire Station 52, and mowing frequency on the Ohlone Greenway would be reduced from eight times per year to five times per year. Public Works maintenance staff would assume reduced-frequency landscape services at affected locations. The projected cost savings are based on preliminary discussions with the landscape maintenance contractor and would need to be formally negotiated before implementation. Spreading maintenance staff time across additional locations may also result in modestly reduced service levels at other City facilities and infrastructure.

Scenario C+ includes a significantly deeper landscape maintenance reduction of $105,000 annually (including the base $15,000 cut), which would result in substantial and citywide impacts to City landscapes as described in the May 5 staff report. If Scenario C+ is preferred, but the landscape maintenance reduction is not, the additional library hours reduction detailed in the May 5 staff report would achieve a comparable budgetary impact and could be substituted.

Scenario B+ reduces the City Council travel and training budget by $500 per member annually; reduces the General Fund contribution to the Fourth of July event by $20,000; and includes a $15,000 annual landscape maintenance reduction. It does not include reductions to grant writing and lobbying services or the EC Stars program. Scenario B+ projects use of General Fund reserves in both budget years to cover one-time costs, with a projected fund balance draw of approximately $208,000 in FY 2026-27 and $231,000 in FY 2027-28, keeping reserves above 29 percent in both budget years.

Scenario C+ reduces the City Council travel and training budget by $1,000 per member annually; eliminates the General Fund contribution to the Fourth of July event entirely ($50,000 annually); eliminates grant writing and lobbying services ($78,000 annually); eliminates the EC Stars High School Internship Program ($23,000 beginning in FY 2027-28); and reduces the landscape maintenance contract by a total of $105,000 annually. Staff acknowledges that the City Council expressed hesitation at the May 5 meeting about the grant writing and lobbying services reduction, which has generated significant federal earmarks and grant funding for the City. These items are included in Scenario C+ to present the full range of options for achieving a balanced budget.

Scenario C+ projects a small operating surplus net of one-time costs in both budget years, with no projected use of General Fund reserves, and keeps reserve levels above 30 percent in both budget years.

Agenda Packet Page 186 of 201
Agenda Item No. 9.A.

To keep reserve levels above 30% in all projected fiscal years, the City Council would need to approve decreases in both the landscape maintenance contract and additional city-funded library hours.

Reserve Levels
The City's reserve policy goal is expressed as a percentage of General Fund operating expenditures, currently 17 percent unrestricted and 13 percent in the Emergency and Disaster Recovery Fund (EDRF), for a combined goal of 30 percent. As the City's budget grows over time, the dollar amount required to meet the 17 percent goal also grows. Even if the City's total reserve dollar amount stays the same or grows slightly due to interest earnings and modest contributions, the reserve percentage can decline if the budget grows faster than the reserves.

Neither scenario is projected to draw down the total dollar amount of the City's reserves in a meaningful way. What changes is the percentage, because the City's expenditure base is growing. The reserve dollar amount is not decreasing: it is simply growing more slowly than the City's budget, which means the percentage it represents declines modestly over time.

Scenario B+ projects reserves at approximately 31 percent in FY 2026-27 and 29 percent in FY 2027-28, with a projected low of 28 percent from FY 2029-30 to FY 2030-

33. Scenario C+ maintains reserves above the combined 30 percent reserve goal in both budget years, with a modest dip to 29.8 percent in FY 2028-29 and FY 2029-30.

Staff notes that the additional reduction of city-funded library hours would keep reserves above 30 percent in all projected years if added to Scenario C+.

CITY COUNCIL BUDGET
The City Council is also asked to review and approve its own departmental budget as part of this study session. The budget presented in Attachment 2 reflects the current baseline and does not incorporate any proposed reductions to the Council's budget included in Scenarios B+ and C+, those reductions will be reflected in the adopted budget following the City Council's scenario selection.

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.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Both Scenario B+ and Scenario C+ achieve a balanced operations and maintenance budget in FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28. One-time costs for the fire engine and SCBA replacement are funded through ISF contributions generated by the O&M surplus.

Scenario B+ projects a use of General Fund reserves of approximately $208,000 in FY 2026-27 and $231,000 in FY 2027-28. Scenario C+ projects no use of General Fund reserves in either budget year. Detailed expenditure and revenue figures will be presented in the Proposed Budget.

Keeps reserves above at least 30% in

unassigned). Lowest total reserve
level projected is 29.7%.

Notes:
- One-time expenses includes both the new Fire Engine and the federally mandated Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) replacement in 2028.
o One-time expenses sets aside most of the Fire Engine cost in FY 2026-27 to smooth cost impacts across the two budget years.
o SCBA replacement budgeted at $330k, which reflects a total cost of $500k offset by a partial (1/3) reimbursement by Kensington per the established contract.
- O&M stands for Operations and Maintenance – the ongoing costs of the City’s operations. One-time costs are considered separately from the O&M budget, but both affect the City’s ending fund balance.
