• 2328 residential connections
• 167 Commercial connections
• From 33 miles of water lines
The City produces:

• Supports System Reliability & Redundancy

Seasonal Operations & Demand Management
• During peak season (May – Sept) multiple wells are active to accommodate the water production need
• Increased water production due to irrigation needs and heat • During off season (Dec – Feb) typically, only Well 3A is active • Water production based on weather and system demand
• Redundancy in the system is extremely important to ensure needs are met

Water Quality Monitoring & Compliance
• 119 Total water quality constituents tested weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually • Testing completed at well sites and sample stations
• 25 Sample Stations Located Citywide
• Ensures Regulatory Compliance & Public Health Protection • Public Works can remotely monitor each well site 24/7. • Public Works visits each well site 365 days a year.
• Wells are monitored 24/7 by our SCADA system.
• SCADA is a software and hardware system that monitors, controls, and analyzes critical water production, pressure, levels and treatment processes.

Infrastructure & Asset Considerations
• City’s wells range from 1 to 41 years old
• Average life expectancy of a well is 25-30 years
• Many cities provide alternative water supplies as safe groundwater is becoming increasing hard to produce and to pull due to state regulations
• City performs ongoing maintenance and performance monitoring • Long-term capital planning is essential for infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation. Along with storage and pressure management.

Water rates are not meant to burden residents and commercial accounts.

Water rates ensure ongoing revenue to provide for the depreciation and replacement of water related utilities, infrastructure, distribution, treatment, staffing and other needs.

17.41.140 of the Escalon Municipal Code Relating to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units to Comply with Recent Changes in State Law, and Finding the Action to be Statutorily Exempt from CEQA under Public Resources Code § 21080.17 Prior to the item, Councilmember Engle recused himself as he intends to build ADUs in the City.

DCSM Barber presented the staff report regarding recent changes in State law pertaining to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs).

Councilmember Strohman commented that he is aware of discussion within the community regarding this ordinance and wanted to clarify that its adoption would help maintain local control. He noted that if the ordinance is not passed, all ADU regulations would default to State law.

Mayor Hagan inquired about the number of ADUs that are constructed each year, to which CM French responded that the City typically processes less than 10 per year.

Motion carried 4-0-1 (Engle Recused) MINUTE ORDER 13-26

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

10. Update on Staff Cost to Process Fireworks Booth Applications DCSM Barber presented the report outlining all staff labor costs associated with processing fireworks booth applications each year, showing that the current fee does not exceed the cost of the service provided.

Councilmember Strohman inquired how many applications were received last year. CM French responded that five (5) applications were submitted, but two (2) had to withdraw—one because the applicant was not a local non-profit, and the other due to insufficient volunteers to staff the booth.

DCSM Barber then provided a line-by-line explanation of the staff costs.

Councilmember Strohman asked clarifying questions regarding the staff report, the outlined labor hours, and the process. He then expressed opposition to the fees, indicating that high fees reduce funds available to non-profits to do the work of the community. Councilmember Engle saw the other side, inquiring whether it is more appropriate to assign costs to non-profit organizations or to City taxpayers.

Mayor Hagan indicated that based on his review of the staff report, he considers the fee to be fair.

Councilmember Kay acknowledged Councilmember Strohman’s concerns and noted that the City is currently subsidizing the fee approximately 40%, and expressed that the City’s role is to govern rather than provide charity, with their primary responsibility to taxpayers. Therefore, he did not believe that a change to the fees was necessary at this time.

Councilmember Engle sought consensus to bring the item (annual cost inflator of fee and incorporating the fee into the City’s master fee schedule) back to Council for their consideration.

Public Comment Opened at 8:05 p.m.

None
Public Comment Closed at 8:05 p.m.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Councilmember Kay indicated that animal abandonment has been and continues to be an issue in the City and asked Chief Hardgraves whether there was an ongoing investigation into the recent case. He then sought Council consensus to review the use of local photography companies for the City recreation programs to ensure the safety of participating children. Mayor Hagan and Mayor Pro Tem Walker expressed support for this discussion.

Councilmember Strohman congratulated and welcomed Officer Westphal to the City. He also reminded everyone, in light of recent events in the news, to have faith in those in National leadership positions and to keep military members in their thoughts and prayers.

Councilmember Engle informed Council that he was unable to attend the One Voice trip with SJCOG in May, and suggested that the Committee alternate attend in his place if available. He apologized for missing the previous Council meeting indicating that he has conflicts when the meetings are moved to Tuesdays.

He then shared his view that America should move beyond the two-party political system, noting that both parties often act without the best interests of citizens and make unfulfilled promises during election years.

He encouraged voters to critically evaluate party commitments and take responsibility for effecting meaningful change.

Mayor Pro Tem Walker expressed support for using local photographers and all other local businesses. She then encouraged the community to continue supporting their neighbors, to maintain faith, and care for one another, concluding that she is proud to be a member of the Escalon community.

Mayor Hagan noted that he genuinely appreciates meeting participant’s input, noting that voices are heard, which helps council make their decisions.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FOR MARCH 16, 2026
Prepared By: Trevin W. Barber, Development and Community Services Manager Date: March 6, 2026
Subject: Waive the Second Reading and Consider Adoption of Ordinance No. XXX Amending Section 17.41.140 of the Escalon Municipal Code Relating to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units to Comply with Recent Changes in State Law, and Finding the Action to be Statutorily Exempt from CEQA under Public Resources Code § 21080.17
Recommendation:

1. Waive the second reading and consider adoption of Ordinance No. XXX amending Section

17.41.140 of the Escalon Municipal Code relating to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units to comply with recent changes in State law.

2. Find the adoption of the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Public Resources Code § 21080.17.

Strategic Plan Priority:

This item is not directly applicable to a Strategic Priority of the adopted Escalon 2025-2026 Strategic Plan.

Background and Discussion:

In recent years, the California legislature has enacted, and the Governor has signed into law, a number of bills that reduce local authority in regulating residential development, particularly accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs). In late 2025, four (4) new bills were enacted that further amend state ADU law as summarized below.

Without an adopted local ordinance, the City is required to approve ADUs based solely on State default standards, eliminating all local development controls and exposing the City to inconsistent and unsafe development. Without a local ordinance, the City is unable to enforce local development standards related to height limits, setbacks, architectural review, privacy and window placement, landscaping and screening, utility connection standards, and parking requirements.

For this reason, an urgency ordinance was brought before the City Council at the January 20, 2026 meeting. The urgency ordinance took effect immediately upon adoption and restored a valid and

enforceable local ADU regulatory framework that complies with current state law. Under normal circumstances, an ordinance affecting planning and zoning would require public hearings and a planning commission recommendation, introduction at a first reading, adoption at a second reading, and would take effect 30 days after adoption. However, that process could not be completed prior to January 1, 2026, and the City was currently operating without a valid ADU ordinance. Following the adoption of the urgency ordinances, it is best practice to subsequently follow the typical public hearing processes. This item initiates that process.

On February 10, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed ordinance and thereafter approved recommending adoption of the ordinance to the City Council. The Commission directed Staff to review trash service requirements for ADUs.

Staff confirmed that Section 8.08 of the Municipal Code already requires each dwelling unit to maintain separate trash and organic recycling carts. No additional amendment is necessary.

On March 2, 2026, City Council held a duly noticed Public Hearing on this item. During public comment, a question was raised regarding ADUs and the City’s growth ordinance. Staff indicated that ADUs are currently exempt, and shared that the matter would be fully addressed through the upcoming Housing Element update process.

The ordinance was introduced with the first reading waived and was determined to be statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17. The motion to introduce the ordinance passed with one recusal.

Assembly Bill 462
AB 462 primarily modifies permitting requirements associated with processing Coastal Development Permits (CDP) for ADUs located in the Coastal Zone.

However, beyond changes to the CDP processing, AB 462 modifies the rules governing the issuance of a certificate of occupancy (CofO) for an ADU. Historically, state law has prohibited a local agency from issuing a CofO for an ADU before one is issued for the primary dwelling (i.e., the primary dwelling must have a CofO before the ADU can receive one). AB 462 creates a narrow exception to this prohibition for detached ADUs when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) the Governor has declared a state of emergency for the county on or after February 1, 2025; (2) the primary dwelling was substantially damaged or destroyed by an event referenced in the state of emergency proclamation; and
(3) the ADU has been issued construction permits and passed all required inspections. (Gov. Code, § 66328(b).) If these conditions are satisfied, the detached ADU can receive a CofO before the primary dwelling. In all other scenarios, the primary dwelling still needs a CofO before one can be issued for an ADU.

AB 462 took effect immediately when signed by the Governor on October 10, 2025.

The following three bills were enacted as non-urgency measures and took effect on January 1, 2026.

Assembly Bill 1154 – JADU Owner-Occupancy; Short-Term Rental When a JADU is developed, existing state law requires a property owner to reside in the JADU or remaining portion of the single-family dwelling. AB 1154 narrows this requirement to now only apply when a JADU shares sanitation facilities (bathroom) with the single-family dwelling. If the JADU has its own bathroom, then the property owner does not have to reside on the property at all. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66333(b).)
AB 1154 also expressly prohibits JADUs from being used as short-term rentals (i.e., rented for a term shorter than 30 days). (See amended Gov. Code, § 66333(g).) Most ADU ordinances already included this prohibition (as well as prohibiting ADUs from being used as short-term rentals). But now it’s required by state law.

Senate Bill 9; Senate Bill 543 – ADU Ordinance Submittal to HCD; Approval Under existing law, local agencies are required to submit a copy of their ADU ordinance to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) within 60 days of adoption.

This year’s SB 91 and SB 543 create a penalty for failing to do so by rendering null and void any local ordinance that is not submitted to HCD within 60 days of adoption. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66326(d); new Gov. Code, § 66333.5(d).) The bills further specify that a local ADU ordinance is null and void if HCD issues findings that the ordinance does not comply with state law and the local agency fails to respond to HCD within 30 days. (Id.)
Senate Bill 543 – ADU Size; Number of ADUs; Impact Fees; Permitting Timeline SB 543 makes numerous changes and clarifications to state ADU law, the most notable of which are summarized below.

ADU & JADU Size
Existing law limits the maximum size of a JADU to 500 square feet and prohibits local ADU ordinances from imposing certain development standards that would prevent an ADU created under Government Code section 66314 through 66322 from being at least 800 square feet.

SB 543 amends state ADU law to specify that allowable square footage of an ADU or JADU refers to square footage of “interior livable space.” (See amended Gov. Code, § 66313(d), 66321(b)(2).) Impact Fees
Existing law exempts ADUS that are 750 square feet or smaller from development impacts fees (DIFs).

SB 543 clarifies that DIFs may not be imposed on an ADU that has 750 or fewer square feet of 1 Not to be confused with the SB 9 of 2021 (Stats. 2021, Ch. 162) regarding urban lot splits and second primary dwelling units.

interior livable space or on a JADU with 500 or fewer square feet of interior livable space.

The bill also exempts an ADU or JADU with fewer than 500 square feet of interior livable space from school impact fees. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66311.5.) Quantity of ADUs Created Under Government Code Section 66323 Existing state law creates four categories of ADUs that must be approved if they comply with the limited standards provided in Government Code section 66323(a)(1)–(4). These are:
(1) a converted ADU and JADU created on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(1));
(2) a detached ADU created on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling (Gov.

Code, § 66323(a)(2));
(3) converted ADUs created in an existing multifamily dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(3)); and
(4) detached ADUs created on a lot with a proposed or existing multifamily dwelling.

For some time, there has been uncertainty as to whether ADUs created under Government Code section 66323 could be combined. Some practitioners interpreted the statute to not require local agencies to allow combinations. Initially, HCD took the same position in its 2020 ADU Handbook.

But for the last few years, HCD has taken the opposite position: yes, combinations are permitted. (See HCD January 2025 ADU Handbook, at p. 19 [“[P]ursuant to Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a), local governments must allow units created pursuant to subparagraphs (1) and (2) together or (3) and (4) together”].)
SB 543 codifies HCD’s most recent interpretation by amending Government Code section 66323 to specifically allow combinations. Thus, a lot with a multifamily dwelling can now have a converted ADU or ADUs created under section 66323(a)(3) and detached ADUs created under section 66323(a)(4). And a lot with a single-family dwelling can now have a converted ADU and a JADU created under section 66323(a)(1) and a detached ADU created under section 66323(a)(2).

ADU Permitting Process
Existing law has long required local agencies to approve or deny an ADU application within 60 days of receiving a complete application. However, state law was silent with respect to incompleteness determinations, subsequent resubmittals, and appealing local decisions on ADU applications.

SB 543 requires local agencies to now:
(1) determine whether an ADU application is complete within 15 business days of submittal; (2) if the application is incomplete, within the same 15 days provide the applicant with a list of incomplete items and how to address them;
(3) review a resubmitted application for completeness within 15 business days; (4) provide the applicant with a written appeal process for any incompleteness determination or denial (to the Planning Commission or City Council, or both); and

(5) provide a final written determination on the appeal within 60 business days of receiving the appeal). (See amended Gov. Code, §§ 66317 [ADUs], 66335 [JADUs].) AB 462 took effect immediately upon being signed into law and did not require amendments to the City’s local ordinance. Instead, the City was required to comply with the new statutory requirements related to Coastal Development Permit processing and issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, where applicable.

The remaining state ADU bills took effect on January 1, 2026. As of that date, the City’s existing ADU ordinance no longer complied with state law and was therefore null and void as a matter of law until a compliant ordinance was adopted. In the absence of a valid local ordinance, the City was required to approve Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units based solely on default state standards, with no local regulations governing height, setbacks, landscaping, architectural review, or other development criteria.

Approval of ADUs and JADUs under these default statutory standards, without locally adopted regulations, would pose a risk to the character of existing neighborhoods and could negatively impact property values, personal privacy, and fire safety.

Environmental Review:

Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code, which is California’s ADU law. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed urgency Ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it implements state ADU law.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct impact to the City’s general fund from amending the municipal code to relating to ADUs. Over the last several years, State law has reduced the fees that are able to be charged for new residential developments, particularly for ADUs, which could put more of the burden of development on the city as opposed to the developer owner/tenant.

(A) Except as otherwise provided by subsections (f)(2)(B) and (f)(2)(C) below, a detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit may not exceed 16 feet in height. (B) A detached ADU may be up to 18 feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit that is located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop or high quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code, and the ADU may be up to two additional feet in height (for a maximum of 20 feet) if necessary to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit. (C) A detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling that has more than one story above grade may not exceed 18 feet in height.
(D) An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies

93939.00066\43259374.8
ATTACHMENT 2
7 to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADUs subject to this subsection (f)(2)(D) may not exceed two stories. (E) For purposes of this subsection (f)(2), height is measured from existing legal grade or the level of the lowest floor, whichever is lower, to the peak of the structure.
(3) Fire Sprinklers.
(A) Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU or JADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
(B) The construction of an ADU or JADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling. (4) Rental Term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days. This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created. (5) No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot).
(6) Septic System. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an onsite wastewater-treatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test completed within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.
(7) Owner Occupancy.
(A) ADUs. ADUs are not subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. (B) JADUs.
(i) Generally. As required by state law, JADUs are generally subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence.
(ii) Exceptions. The owner-occupancy requirement in this subsection (f)(7)(B) does not apply in either of the following situations:
(I) The JADU has separate sanitation facilities (i.e., does not share sanitation facilities with the existing primary dwelling unit structure).

93939.00066\43259374.8
ATTACHMENT 2
8 (II) The property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
(8) Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for an JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the Development and Community Services Manager. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners.

The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the city and must provide that:
(A) The JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling. (B) The JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this section.
(C) The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
(D) The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.
(E) The deed restriction is enforceable by the director or his or her designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit. (9) Building & Safety.
(A) Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection (f)(9)(B) below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements.
(B) No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the building official or Code Enforcement Division officer makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this

93939.00066\43259374.8
ATTACHMENT 2
9 subsection (f)(9)(B) prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section.
(10) Certificate of Occupancy Timing.
(A) Generally. No certificate of occupancy for an ADU or JADU may be issued before the certificate of occupancy is issued for the primary dwelling unit. (B) Limited Exception for State-declared Emergencies. Notwithstanding subsection (f)(10)(A) above, a certificate of occupancy for an ADU may be issued before a certificate of occupancy for the primary dwelling if each of the following requirements are met:
(i) The county is subject to a proclamation of a state of emergency made by the California Governor on or after February 1, 2025. (ii) The primary dwelling was substantially damaged or destroyed by an event referenced in the Governor’s state of emergency
proclamation.

(A) The maximum size of a detached or attached ADU subject to this subsection (g) is 850 square feet of interior livable space for a studio or one-bedroom unit and 1,000 square feet of interior livable space for a unit with two or more bedrooms.
(B) An attached ADU that is created on a lot with an existing primary dwelling is further limited to 50 percent of the floor area of the existing primary dwelling.
(C) Application of other development standards in this subsection (g), such as FAR or lot coverage, might further limit the size of the ADU, but no application of the percent-based size limit in subsection (g)(1)(B) above or of an FAR, front setback, lot coverage limit, or open-space requirement may require the ADU have less than 800 square feet of interior livable space.

93939.00066\43259374.8
ATTACHMENT 2
10 (2) Floor Area Ratio (FAR). No ADU subject to this subsection (g) may cause the total FAR of the lot to exceed 65 percent, subject to subsection (g)(1)(C) above. (3) Setbacks.
(A) ADUs that are subject to this subsection (g) must conform to 4-foot side and rear setbacks. ADUs that are subject to this subsection (g) must conform to 25-foot front setbacks, subject to subsection (g)(1)(C) above.

93939.00066\43259374.8
ATTACHMENT 2
11 (vi) When the permit application to create an ADU is submitted with an application to create a new single-family or new multifamily dwelling on the same lot, provided that the ADU or the lot satisfies any other criteria listed in subsections (g)(7)(B)(i) through (v) above.
(C) No Replacement. When a garage, carport, covered parking structure, or uncovered parking space is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU or converted to an ADU, those off-street parking spaces are not required to be replaced.
(8) Architectural Requirements.
(A) The materials and colors of the exterior walls, roof, and windows and doors must be the same as those of the primary dwelling.
(B) The roof slope must match that of the dominant roof slope of the primary dwelling. The dominant roof slope is the slope shared by the largest portion of the roof.
(C) The exterior lighting must be limited to down-lights or as otherwise required by the building or fire code.
(D) The ADU must have an independent exterior entrance, apart from that of the primary dwelling.
(E) The interior horizontal dimensions of an ADU must be at least 10 feet wide in every direction, with a minimum interior wall height of seven feet. (F) No window or door of the ADU may have a direct line of sight to an adjoining residential property. Each window and door must either be located where there is no direct line of sight or screened using fencing, landscaping, or privacy glass to prevent a direct line of sight. (G) All windows and doors in an ADU less than 30 feet from a property line that is not a public right-of-way line must either be (for windows) clerestory with the bottom of the glass at least six feet above the finished floor, or (for windows and for doors) utilize frosted or obscure glass. (9) Landscape Requirements. Evergreen landscape screening must be planted and maintained between the ADU and adjacent parcels as follows:
(A) At least one 15-gallon size plant must be provided for every five linear feet of exterior ADU wall. Alternatively, at least one 24” box size plant must be provided for every ten linear feet of exterior ADU wall. (B) Plant specimens must be at least six feet tall when installed. As an alternative, a solid fence of at least six feet in height may be installed.

ATTACHMENT 2
12 (C) All landscaping must be drought-tolerant.
(D) All trees must be from the city’s approved tree list. (10) Historical Protections. An ADU that is on or within 600 feet of real property that is listed in the California Register of Historic Resources must be located so as to not be visible from any public right-of-way.
(11) Allowed Stories. No ADU subject to this subsection (g) may have more than one story, except that an ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may have the stories allowed under subparagraph (f)(2)(D) of this section. (h) Fees. The following requirements apply to all Class 1 ADUs and JADUs and Class 2 ADUs that are approved under subsections (e)(1) or (e)(2) above. (1) Impact Fees.
(A) No impact fee is required for a JADU or for an ADU that has less than 750 square feet of interior livable space. For purposes of this subsection (h)(1), “impact fee” means a “fee” under the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code § 66000(b)) and a fee under the Quimby Act (Gov. Code § 66477). “Impact fee” here does not include any connection fee or capacity charge for water or sewer service.
(B) A JADU or ADU with less than 500 square feet of interior livable space does not increase assessable space by 500 square feet for purposes of Education Code section 17620(a)(1)(C), and is therefore not subject to school fees under Education Code section 17620.
(C) Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that has 750 square feet or more of interior livable space must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., the floor area of the ADU, divided by the floor area of the primary dwelling, times the typical fee amount charged for a new dwelling.)
(2) Utility Fees.
(A) If an ADU or JADU is constructed with a new single-family home, a separate utility connection directly between the ADU or JADU and the utility and payment of the normal connection fee and capacity charge for a new dwelling are required.
(B) Except as described in subsection (h)(2)(A), JADUs and converted ADUs on a single-family lot that are created under subsection (e)(1)(A) above are not required to have a new or separate utility connection directly between the JADU or ADU and the utility. Nor is a connection fee or capacity charge required. Notwithstanding the rest of this paragraph, a direct utility

93939.00066\43259374.8
ATTACHMENT 2
13 connection is required for separate conveyance of an ADU when separate conveyance is allowed under this code.
(C) Except as described in subsection (h)(2)(A), all ADUs that are not covered by subsection (h)(2)(B) require a new, separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility for any utility that is provided by the city.

All utilities that are not provided by the city are subject to the connection and fee requirements of the utility provider.
(i) The connection is subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that is proportionate to the burden created by the ADU based on either the floor area or the number of drainage-fixture units (DFU) values, as defined by the Uniform Plumbing Code, upon the water or sewer system.
(ii) The portion of the fee or charge that is charged by the city may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service.
(i) Nonconforming Zoning Code Conditions, Building Code Violations, and Unpermitted Structures.
(1) Generally. The city will not deny an ADU or JADU application due to a nonconforming zoning condition, building code violation, or unpermitted structure on the lot that does not present a threat to the public health and safety and that is not affected by the construction of the ADU or JADU.
(2) Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs constructed before 2020. (A) Permit to Legalize. As required by state law, the city may not deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, unless denial is based on either of the following grounds:
(i) The ADU or JADU violates applicable building standards, or (ii) The ADU or JADU does not comply with state ADU or JADU law or this ADU ordinance (section 17.41.140).
(B) Exceptions:
(i) Notwithstanding subsection (i)(2)(A) above, the city may deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, if the city makes a finding that correcting a violation is necessary to comply with the standards specified in California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FOR MARCH 16, 2025
Prepared By: Celinda Bickner, Finance Director
Date: March 9, 2026
Subject: February 2026 – Treasurer’s Report and Monthly Summary Report Recommendation:

Accept the Treasurer’s Report and Monthly Summary Reports for the month ending February 28, 2026.

Background and Discussion:

The Treasurer’s Report ties the cash activity recorded in the City’s financial system to the City’s banking and investment institutions by detailing the cash balances in each accounting fund. There were no material reconciling items, and sufficient funds were available to meet the needs of the City.

The Monthly Summary Reports for the General Fund shows the Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 25-26 alongside the Year to Date (YTD) expenses for the period. Three years of historical actuals for revenues and expenses are provided for context.

Strategic Plan Priority:

This item is consistent with the Escalon Strategic Plan Priority #2, Fiscal Stability, in that it proposes to bring clarity and transparency to city financial reporting.

February Crime Activity 2025 vs 2026

On 2/2/2026, Sergeant Zambrana and I went to the Delta Police Academy for a recruitment event. We since received applications from a recent graduate and a currently enrolled cadet. The thefts from February were primarily identity theft and fraud. There was a large burglary from the closed Rite-Aid, which resulted in a large amount of damage (See summary for case #26-100 on 2/14/26).

Officer Gunter led the department in arrests with 11.

Officer Gunter led the department in citations with 36.

Major incidents and cases of interest for January 2026
Case #26-69 & 26-77 – Swatting and Arson – On 1/31/2026 a residence on Dent Street was the victim of a swatting incident. An incident that occurred in another city led us to believe that this was a highly targeted incident and not random. On 2/3/2026 a car at the same residence was set on fire. Officers are following up on leads and actively investigating the incidents. Extra patrols have been scheduled for the area to help prevent future incidents.

Case #26-102 – Possession of Stolen Vehicle – On 2/17/26, Officer Palomino was dispatched to a report of a vehicle, a 2017 Kia, blocking the driveway of a business on First Street. The vehicle was towed for obstructing a driveway. The vehicle was registered to a car dealership in Modesto, so the business was contacted to determine if the vehicle had been stolen. It was confirmed that it had been stolen from their dealership, although they had not realized it until they were contacted by Officer Palomino. A records check revealed that another officer had contacted the vehicle on 2/15/26. At that time, the vehicle had broken down in the roadway, so the officer assisted the driver in pushing the vehicle out of the roadway.

The driver matched the description of a subject that Officer Palomino had arrested on 2/16/26 for possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful camping and subsequently booked into the San Joaquin County Jail. It was confirmed that the subject Officer Palomino had arrested on 2/16/26 was the same person who was in possession of the stolen vehicle on 2/15/26, and an arrest warrant was issued.

On 2/20/26, officers received another call, this time the reporting party stated that it appeared the roof hatch to the building was open. The Escalon Fire Department responded to assist officers in accessing the roof.

Officers accessed the building via the open roof hatch and discovered that all of the breaker boxes, air conditioning units, and several appliances had the copper pipe and wiring stripped from them. The theft and damage estimated to be over $100,000.
● 2/24/2026 – Case #26-123 – Theft – Cromwell & Ney Insurance, 1718 Main Street – The trash cans for the business were stolen over the night.
● 2/27/2026 – Case #26-131 –Vehicle Theft – Almond Grove Mobile Home Park, 2505 Jackson Avenue – The victim was transported to the hospital via ambulance and when he returned home, his vehicle was gone. The suspect had received information that an acquaintance had taken the vehicle with the intent of returning it before the victim returned home. Additional information they received was that the vehicle was at a 7-Eleven in Ceres. Ceres PD was contacted, and they recovered the vehicle, unoccupied, at the 7-Eleven.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FOR MARCH 16, 2026
Prepared By: Ivette Arevalo, Office Assistant
Date: February 11, 2026
Subject: Consider Adopting Resolution XX-26 Approving an Expenditure Plan for the City of Escalon’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
Recommendation:

Conduct a public hearing to solicit input from the public on the proposed CDBG funding expenditures, and consider adopting Resolution XX-26 approving the recommended expenditure plan for Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

Background and Overview:

Each year, Escalon receives an estimated annual allocation of $75,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assist low- and moderate-income persons provide decent housing, a suitable living environment and/or expand economic opportunities. These funds are allocated by HUD utilizing a formula which considers population, poverty, overcrowded units, and age of housing.

The City receives the CDBG funds from HUD via an agreement with San Joaquin County. HUD requires citizen participation in the CDBG application and award selection process. This process involves releasing a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the CDBG funds, and holding a public hearing when adopting the expenditure plan. The NOFA was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in late December 2025, and posted on the City’s social media pages on December 23rd, December 29th, January 5th and January 9th. Additionally, City staff mailed the NOFA to a list of local non-profits (Attachment 2) that provide programs and services in the community, inviting them to apply and attend an informational meeting, which was held by City staff on Tuesday, January 6, 2026. The notice of public hearing for this meeting was published in the March 4, 2026 edition of the Escalon Times.

In past years, all applications for CDBG funds were received directly by the City. San Joaquin County revised the program last year so that groups that serve various communities within the county submit one application to the County only, instead of applying to each city. In that single application, the service group then list their funding requests for each city. This streamlines the process for the County since they process the reimbursements for the countywide service groups (Meals on Wheels, Mobile Farmer’s Market, and Fair Housing).

Up to fifteen percent (15%) of the $75,000 allocation ($11,250) can be used toward the assistance of service groups. The County has indicated that they received applications requesting funding from the City of Escalon from Fair Housing, Emergency Food Bank (Mobile Farmer’s Market), and the Human Service Agency (Meals on Wheels) Program as outlined below. These programs support Escalon residents either directly or indirectly.

This public hearing is being held to receive comments from the public on the applications received for FY 2026-2027 and for the City Council to consider approving funding of these programs.

It is recommended that the available funds be approved and programmed as follows:

1. Organizations Requesting Service Funds for FY 2026-2027 Three (3) service groups submitted complete funding requests for four programs for FY 2026-2027:
 San Joaquin Fair Housing has requested, and Staff recommends the Council consider awarding, $1,500.00 for the Community Housing Resource Board to continue to provide fair housing services to low-moderate income Escalon residents. This program meets the HUD national objective of, “addressing the needs of low and moderate income persons”. It also aids the City in meeting its Housing Element program to affirmatively further fair housing. Fair Housing services are provided to the community free of charge. The mission of San Joaquin Fair Housing is to ensure that all members of our community have equal access to safe affordable housing and to eliminate any discrimination in housing. Staff refers residents with Landlord/Tenant laws and rights questions to Fair Housing. This portion of the CDBG funds will be managed by the San Joaquin Fair Housing Foundation. In the fiscal year 2024 - 2025 SJFH served 102 individuals/families with a total household size of 275. In the current fiscal year 2025 - 2026, as of 3/10/2026 SJFH has served 114 individuals/families with a total household size of 356.
 The San Joaquin County, Human Services Agency, Aging and Community Services (HSA) is requesting, and Staff recommends the Council consider awarding, $3,124 to support their Meals on Wheels operations for the City of Escalon. Meals on Wheels delivers meals to homebound seniors 60+ years of age. The funds requested will be spent on the purchase of meals (five frozen meals along with fresh fruit and milk) delivered once a week at seniors’ homes. Council approved similar request over the last few years. Although not requesting CDBG funding for it this year, the Human Services Agency will continue to provide meals to nonhomebound seniors at the Escalon Congregate Site at the Community Center Senior Room.  The Emergency Food Bank and Family Services of Stockton/San Joaquin is requesting, and staff recommends, that the Council consider allocating $3,500 to support their Mobile Farmer’s Market Program. This program utilizes a specially equipped vehicle, staffed by a nutrition educator and assistant, to serve the CARE Program once a month. During these visits, the team provides nutrition education through on-site cooking demonstrations, focusing on healthy food preparation, proper serving sizes, the role of diet in preventing diseases and chronic health conditions, and the nutritional content of various food items. At the end of each session, participants receive 10-15 pounds of fresh produce. Additionally, the program is collaborating with Escalon Strong, a local non-profit, to introduce a Mobile Farmers Market at their pantry.

This initiative aims to expand services by offering fresh produce and nutrition education to both

the pantry and the surrounding community starting this spring. The program, which operates in one-hour increments, served approximately 497 residents in 2025.

2. City of Escalon Public Facilities Program:

The City of Escalon is proposing to combine its remaining local CDBG entitlement allocation, approximately $66,876.00, with the County’s competitive Funds to deliver a single, high-impact pedestrian-safety improvement in a LMI neighborhood adjacent to Dent Elementary School. This approach allows Escalon to fully utilize its entitlement funds, which have historically gone unused, and to partner with the County on a project that aligns with HUD’s national objectives and the County’s infrastructure priorities. The Yosemite Avenue & Dent Elementary School Raised Intersections Project details and County application are attached.

Application packages from all applicants are available for review.

ITEM NO. 10

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FOR MARCH 16, 2026
Prepared By: Ivette Arevalo, Office Assistant
Date: March 10, 2026
Subject: Consider Adopting Resolution XX-26 Approving an Expenditure Plan for the City of Escalon’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME) Program.

Recommendation:

Conduct a public hearing to solicit input from the public on the proposed HOME funds expenditures, and consider approving Resolution XX-26 for the HOME program for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

Background and Overview:

Each year, Escalon receives an annual allocation of HOME Program funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assist low and moderate income persons receive decent housing and a suitable living environment. These funds are allocated by HUD utilizing a formula which considers population, poverty, overcrowded units, and age of housing.

For Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the City will receive an estimated allocation of $11,464.00 in HOME program funds. The City proposes to use these funds for the provision of low and moderate-income housing units through the GAP Loan Program and Neighborhood Preservation Home Rehabilitation Program. The County administers these programs on behalf of the City, and residents apply directly with the County.

The City of Escalon GAP Loan Program provides deferred downpayment assistance loans, 20% of the sales price up to $15,000 (whichever is the lesser), to low income, first-time homebuyers for the purchase of homes in the City of Escalon. The loans are intended to bridge the “gap” between the cost of a home and what a low-income household can afford.

The Home Rehabilitation Program is a creative financing program that assists property owners in making residential building improvements. It offers low interest amortized and deferred payment loans.

The program is designed to make needed renovations affordable for low income homeowners as well as offering a range of services to help make property improvements as easy as possible. It is designed to preserve the health and safety of neighborhoods within San Joaquin County, to increase the attractiveness of the City for residents and to provide qualified homeowners with a decent and safe place to live.

HUD requires citizen participation in the HOME application and expenditure plan adoption process.

This process involves providing residents with a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the HOME funds and holding a public hearing when adopting the expenditure plan. The NOFA was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in late December and posted on the City’s social media page on December 23rd, December 29th, January 5th and January 9th. City staff mailed the NOFA to a list of local non-profits (Attachment 3), that provide programs and services in the community, inviting them to apply and attend an informational meeting, which was held by City staff on Thursday, February 12, 2026.

The purpose of this public hearing is to receive comments from the public on the programs identified by staff for FY 2026-2027. It is recommended that the City commit the estimated $15,096.00 in HOME funding for the continuation of the GAP and Rehabilitation programs, with the funds split evenly between the two programs.

The County has begun de-obligating funds that have not been spent and re-obligating them to projects that are ready to move forward in other cities. The County’s updated regulation allows for three years of funding to accumulate in a City’s account before de-obligating it. If Council approves the above recommendations, the HOME funds account levels for FY 2026-2027 will be an estimated:
 GAP Account $22,584.00
 Rehab Account $22,584.00

Staff has been increasing efforts to promote these programs to residents, as Escalon has not had a GAP user since 2010. However, these efforts resulted in a rehabilitation funds user in 2024.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FOR MARCH 16, 2026
Prepared By: Trevin W. Barber, Development and Community Services Manager Date: March 9, 2026
Subject: Introduce and Discuss Proposed Fees for Adult Softball and the Newly Added Adult Soccer Program
Recommendation:

Introduce and discuss proposed fees for adult softball and the newly added adult soccer program.

Background:

The following provides City Council with an overview of the City’s full recreation program operations, a summary of the costs to operate the program, and a comparison of adult programs throughout the region to ensure that adult recreation fees remain transparent, equitable, and affordable. This item is to seek Council direction prior to finalizing fee recommendations.

In November 2025, the Recreation Commission heard a proposal for an Adult Soccer League. Staff introduced the program in response to community interest and outlined the proposed structure, including the 9v9 format, season schedule, field locations, and the preliminary per-team fee. Staff also described anticipated operational needs such as field usage, referee staffing, and coordination with existing youth sports.

The Commission reviewed the program concept and discussed field capacity, scheduling conflicts with youth sports, and the impact on Hogan Park with the additional use. The Commission reviewed City staff’s prior recommendation and suggested it should be increased. Subsequently (in November 2025), staff brought forward a recommended fee of $850 per team. The Commission considered how adult sports participation should contribute to the costs associated with field maintenance and program operations.

Following discussion, the Commission supported moving forward with the program and directed staff to conduct additional analysis of field usage and costs for both the existing adult softball program as well as the newly proposed adult soccer program. The Commission further directed staff to consider adjusting the proposed fee if the cost-of-service analysis demonstrated that a higher fee was warranted to ensure that adult sports programs covered their proportionate share of costs.

Further, as part of its ongoing review of field conditions and recreation programming, the Recreation Commission received a detailed update on Hogan Park’s maintenance needs at its February 2026 meeting. Staff explained that Hogan Park is the City’s most heavily used recreation facility and experiences year-round pressure from youth soccer, football, baseball/softball, and community activities. The Commission was provided an overview of the maintenance practices required to keep

the fields in playable condition, including fertilizer applications, irrigation schedules, annual aeration, mowing practices, and rest periods following rain, fertilization, and aeration. Staff also summarized challenges affecting turf recovery, such as compacted soil, limited downtime between sports seasons, and shade and root impacts from trees along Arthur Road. This information was presented to help the Commission understand the operational demands placed on Hogan Park and the associated maintenance costs that inform the City’s recreation fee structure.

Discussion
The City’s recreation program is supported by two General Fund program budgets: Parks Maintenance (6600) and Recreation (6605). Parks Maintenance funds the upkeep of Hogan Park, Main Street Park, and other non-Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts (LLMD) parks, including turf care, irrigation, tree management, lighting, infield preparation, and daily servicing.

Recreation captures the operational costs of running youth and adult sports programs, including administration, officials, supplies, scheduling, and stadium lighting. Together, these budgets represent the full cost of maintaining athletic facilities and delivering recreation programs, and they provide the financial basis for establishing transparent and equitable adult sports fees. In recent years, the City has budgeted, on average, $540,000 annually for these funds, though actual needs have exceeded the amounts appropriated due to deferred maintenance needs and competing General Fund priorities. Of note, the City recovers approximately $200,000 in recreation sports revenues—leaving a delta of $340,000 annually.

Adult Softball Program
The City of Escalon has administered an Adult Softball Program since at least 2010. The program continues to be very popular among adults in the community.

In 2010, the league consisted of four (4) teams. By 2024, participation had grown significantly, reaching the maximum capacity of 10 teams. Due to strong community demand and available resources, two (2) additional team slots were added in 2025, bringing the total league capacity to twelve teams. In 2025, the Adult Softball Fee was $525 per team. With 12 to 15 players per team, the estimated cost is approximately $35 per player with a full team, which is well below the youth program costs of approximately $80 per player. A key difference is that a $20 “uniform” is provided to the youth program through our fees, whereas the adult program pays for their own.

Adult Soccer Program (New)
The proposed Adult Soccer League is structured as a co-ed 9v9 program for participants 16 years and older, with under-18 players requiring parental permission. The inaugural season is planned for August through October, with each team playing eight (8) games and up to two (2) playoff games, consistent with the format used in adult softball. The league would accommodate a minimum of four (4) and a maximum of six (6) teams, with 11 to 14 players per team. Games would be staffed by two (2) referees per match and scheduled at either Hogan Park, Sanchez Park, or Bob and Dena Lease Park during Sunday mornings or Monday/Wednesday evenings. The chart below summarizes both the softball and soccer league details for comparison:

Adult League Details Softball Soccer

Fields prepped for games,

Fee $525 2025 and 2026 2025 N/A 2026 TBD
In line with adult softball, “uniforms” and personal equipment would not be provided by the City.

League services would include field preparation, chalking, goal setup, and lighting for evening play.

A preliminary fee of $850 was presented to the Recreation Commission for review, with the final 2026 fee to be determined based on further analysis. Because this is a new program, no fee was not previously established.

Staff has completed this analysis and developed a proposed inaugural fee that balances cost recovery, program accessibility, and the operational needs of launching a new adult league.

Direct Costs for Adult Sports
In addition to indirect maintenance costs, each program incurs direct operating costs, including umpire staffing (referees in the case of soccer), basic field preparation, and minimal supplies and administration. For a standard season consisting of 52 total games, staffing two (2) officials per game at $35 each result in 104 assignments and a total officiating cost of $3,640, or $260 per team when spread across 14 teams. Field lining, game-day preparation, and related supplies add $50 per game day, totaling $400 per season, or $29 per team. The City also provides championship shirts at a cost of $300 per season. Combined, these direct costs total $589 per team, which equates to approximately $40 per player based on a 15-player roster.

Umpire: 2 umpires × 52 games × $35 per umpire
104 Umpire assignments x $35 = $3,640
$3,640
14 = $260 per team
Field lining, game-day prep, and supplies (combined):
$50 per game day
8 game days x $50 = $400
$400
14 = $29 per team

Championship shirts:
$300 per season
Total direct program costs:
$260 + $29 + $300 = $589 per team per season
$589
15 = $40 per player
The analysis shows that the current fee of $525 is below the City’s actual costs for the program. It can be inferred that if direct costs are not recovered than there is a significant negative impact on the general fund with all field maintenance costs. To meaningfully address the $340,000 gap mentioned previously, staff recommended $850 for adult soccer and this seems reasonable for adult softball as well. $850 per team equals approximately $55 per player, which when “uniform costs” are added, is in line with current youth sport rates.

To evaluate whether Escalon’s fee would remain reasonable, staff reviewed comparable adult softball programs in neighboring communities. Modesto’s average per-player cost is $45.81, Stockton’s is $33.33, and Lodi’s is $54.56, with all three agencies offering similar season lengths and playoff structures.
 Modesto per player average: $45.81
o $475 per team ($67.86 to $23.75 per player)
o 7-20 per team
o 8 regular season games- 2 playoff games possible
 Stockton per player average: $33.33
o $500 per team ($41.66 to $25 per player)
o 12-20 per team
o 8 regular season games- 2 playoff games possible
 Lodi per player average: $54.56
o $550 per team ($78.57 to $30.55)
o 7-18 per team
o 8 regular season games- 2 playoff games possible
 Manteca Big League Dreams
o Total per team estimate is $1,176
o $50 per player (minimum $600 per team) + gate fee
o 12 minimum per team
o 6 regular season games- 4 playoff games possible
o Plus gate entrance fee of $6 or $7 per game. 6 to 8 games is another $576 per team.

The recommended fee of $850 covers the City’s direct costs for the program as well as a modest amount of the City’s field maintenance costs. This balanced approach supports the City’s broader cost-recovery strategy while maintaining affordability and strong participation in one of Escalon’s most popular adult recreation programs. Staff will consider how to reprogram field space to accommodate more teams. Adding more teams can help defray the costs of field maintenance.

Further, if the community is interested and the city pursues other sports such as adult flag football, this would also help to defray maintenance costs, while at the same time, putting more use on the fields.

Fiscal Impact:

This item is informational only, and City staff will return at a future meeting with a fee proposal and associated necessary actions. The fiscal impact will be determined upon direction on the fee. City staff will analyze the proposed fee, the cost of service and the resulting impact on the General Fund.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FOR MARCH 16, 2026
Prepared By: Frank Splendorio, City Attorney
Date: March 12, 2026
Subject: Memorandum of Understanding for Work at Hogan-Ennis Community Park Recommendation:

Approve Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Escalon (City) and the non-profit organization Escalon Strong to perform specific work at Hogan-Ennis Community Park (Park).

Background and Discussion:

Escalon Strong is a community non-profit organization established to address quality of life issues affecting Escalon residents.

This is a simple MOU designed to protect the City, and at the same time, to allow Escalon Strong to perform specific work at the Park. Namely, that work is grading, irrigation, and laying of turf/sod, as specified in Exhibit “B” to the MOU. Beyond the usual insurance and indemnity obligations, the MOU also specifies that the work will be done by volunteers, and as such, is not subject to prevailing wage.

However, should any non-volunteers perform the work, Escalon Strong may still proceed, but the City would then be unable to waive any permit fees as that would be an in-kind monetary contribution, triggering prevailing wage.

Fiscal Impact:

There are no anticipated negative fiscal impacts associated with the volunteer work at the Park. The City, as part of the MOU, has agreed to waive any permit fee associated with the donated work. Also, ultimately, the City will be responsible for maintaining this park area. at this time, except a possible waiver of grading permits.
