BACKGROUND
The City’s trunk sewer mains, constructed in the 1950’s, are a critical and integral part of the City’s wastewater system. In June 2024, during routine closed -circuit television inspection, Utilities staff identified multiple failed and severely deteriorated sections of 18 -inch and 21-inch trunk sewer main. In order to act quickly to avoid catastrophic failure, a local emergency was proclaimed on June 20, 2024, by the City Manager, serving as the Director of Emergency Services. The original scope of work included two sections of severely deteriorated trunk sewer main that are in critical condition. These sections are shown in Figure 1 below and defined as follows:

Section 1: Ash Street - paralleling the Escondido Creek, from the Firestone Complete Auto Care (“Firestone”) parking lot to the Walmart Neighborhood Market (“Walmart”) parking lot; and Section 2: Beech Street to Grape Day Park - paralleling the Escondido Creek, traversing a short section of North Hickory Street, then continuing in East Pennsylvania Street from North Hickory and extending into Grape Day Park.

Figure 1

Section 1 emergency repair work began on August 7, 2024. All repairs to Section 1 are now complete.

Section 2 emergency repair work began on July 25, 2024, and is anticipated to be complete by January 16, 2026. The contractor, CCL Contracting, Inc. (“CCL”), has installed approximately 4,670 linear feet of trunk main, from Grape Day Park to Hickory Street, within Pennsylvania Avenue; north within Hickory Street from the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Hickory Street to just south of the intersection of 20 Item5.

Hickory Street and L ansing Circle ; easterly through the Westmont Assisted Living Community ; and continues easterly within the City’s Escondido Creek private property/public utility easement, paralleling the south side of Escondido Creek to Grape Street. The additional restoration work at Westmont Assisted Living Community, which included abandonment and slurry fill of 2,000 feet of 21-inch sewer , abandonment and slurry fill of 14 manholes, and repair of 40 feet of 21 -inch trunk sewer line within the bike path at Date Street, has been completed.

In June 2025, a construction conflict with a 36” diameter water transmission main along the bike path was identified. City staff determined that rerouting the sewer trunk main from the bike path into East Valley Parkway, provided the best value to the city from a cost, constructability, product longevity, and risk mitigation. Construction on North Fig Street, south of the channel bridge, between Washington Avenue and Valley Parkway, began on September 2, 2025, and was completed on September 19, 2025. Utilities Construction on East Valley Parkway, between Fig Street and Beech Street, began on September 23, 2025 with work occurring at night to minimize the impact to the community. Additional work, to date, includes the installation of a modified storm drain box and five manholes. Electronic m essage boards and signs updating the c ommunity are in place, where appropriate, throughout the construction project site and will remain through the duration of work.

Utilities staff continues to communicate and coordinate with affected businesses and residents within the construction zone of influence , as well as other City Departments regarding current and upcoming construction, including the upcoming road closures.

BACKGROUND

California Enterprise Development Authority (“CEDA”)
CEDA is a Joint Powers Authority (“JPA”) created in 2006 to address gaps in economic development financing. CEDA is committed to providing financing options to manufacturers, 501(c)(3) non-profits, and California communities. CEDA’s ultimate mission is support of economic development. CEDA facilitates the issue of private activity bonds for the purpose of economic and community development.

TEFRA Hearing
The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (“TEFRA”) requires that the City of Escondido conduct a Public Hearing (“TEFRA Hearing”) so the obligations may qualify as tax -exempt bonds. The TEFRA Hearing provides members of the community an opportunity to comment on the use of tax-exempt bonds for the financing of the Project. Prior to conducting the TEFRA Hearing, reasonable notice must be provided to the community. Such notice was published in the local newspaper of record , the Escondido Times-Advocate, on October 23, 2025. After the TEFRA Hearing is closed , City Council adoption of Resolution No. 2025 -146 will grant City approval for issue of the obligations for the financing of the Project.

COUNCIL PRIORITY –

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Staff time and resources were expended to process the short -form application. Staff reviewed the application, evaluated the mobilehome park for code enforcement violations and conducted public outreach with the affected park residents, park manager and owners. No additional fiscal impact was incurred by the City.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On October 23, 2024, a short-form application was considered and approved. An increase of 4.275 percent was approved, resulting in an average space increase of $26.74 per space, per month.

BACKGROUND
On June 8, 1988, the Escondido residents voted to approve Proposition K to enact Mobilehome Rent Control in the City of Escondido (“City”). Under Proposition K, if a park owner wants to increase the rent on a mobilehome rent control space, they must file an application with the City and obtain approval 36 Item8.

from the Mobilehome Park Rent Review Board (“Board”). This Board is an independent body comprised of the City of Escondido Councilmembers.

In 1997, the Board adopted changes to the Mobilehome Rent Review Board Guidelines (“Guidelines”) to allow for the acceptance of a “ short-form” application . The short -form is an abbreviated and less administrative burdensome application process for park owners and City staff. A park owner can request a rent increase based solely on the change in the San Diego Metropolitan Area ’s Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), All Items/All Urban Consumers component since the last increase was granted by the Board. The requested increase may not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the increase in CPI since the last application was granted by the Board, or eight percent (8%) of the current rent, whichever is less, subject to a two- year limit. Park owners are allowed to apply one -year from the date the last application was deemed complete.

Carefree Ranch Mobilehome Park (“Park”) is a 55+ age park, located at 211 N. Citrus Ave, Escondido, CA 92027. The Park has a total of 184 spaces, of which 151 spaces are subject to rent control. The Park is requesting an increase for the 151 rent-controlled spaces. The amenities available for the residents include a clubhouse, laundry room and, pool and jacuzzi area.

Carefree Ranch submitted a short-form application on September 15, 2025. (Attachment “1”). City staff reviewed the final application and deemed it to be complete on September 22, 2025. City staff mailed a letter, written in both English and Spanish, on September 22, 2025, notifying the affected park residents of the application and proposed rent increase, upcoming residential meeting, and public hearing date (Attachment “2”).

Carefree Ranch Mobilehome Park short-form application was available for review at the Park office, and the Housing & Neighborhood Services Division counter at City Hall.

Housing & Neighborhood Services and Code Compliance staff facilitated an in -person meeting for the affected residents on October 6, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. Code Compliance conducted a lighting inspection on October 6, 2025 and completed an inspection of the common areas on October 8, 2025.

City staff mailed a 10 -day notice written in both English and Spanish to residents on October 23, 2025 reminding them of the November 5, 2025, City Council Meeting (Attachment “4”).

THE RENT INCREASE APPLICATION:

The application meets all the eligibility criteria for submittal of a short-form rent increase.

PARK OWNER’S REQUEST:

The Park is requesting an increase of 90 percent (90%) of the total Annual change in CPI for 2024, to July 2025. A park is allowed to request up to 90 percent of the change in CPI. Under Section 11(D) of the 37 Item8.

Guidelines, it states, “In determining whether the amount of the park owner’s requested increase is appropriate, the Board must presume that up to ninety percent (90%) of the CPI is a fair, just, and reasonable rent increase. However, the Board may consider any of the other Rent Control Ordinance factors in Section 29 -104(g) at the request of either the park owner or the affected residents in determining that a lesser increase is fair, just, and reasonable.” These factors are referenced in Chapter 29, Article 5, Section 29-104(g) of the Escondido Municipal Code. Ninety percent of the change in the CPI is 4.064 percent for the period of consideration. Currently, the average monthly rent for the residents that are affected by this application is $769.51. The average monthly increase requested for the one hundred fifty-one spaces is $30.05 per space, per month. This increase ranges from to $ 19.75-$41.09 per space, per month.

RESIDENT MEETING AND COMMENTS:

All residents affected by this request were invited to attend a meeting in their clubhouse October 6, 2025, at 6: 00 p.m. The meeting was attended by ten (10) residents , the Park manager, and City staff. The application and the short -form hearing procedures were reviewed with the residents. Residents stated that they a ppreciated park managers being easily accessible. Residents mentioned their concern for speeding cars on Citrus Ave and that there was only one entry and exit located at the park. Residents also mentioned park safety such as disturbances throughout the night, to which park and City staff recommended calling law enforcement if this is a persistent issue. Residents also had questions regarding what code enforcement was inspecting, and code officers were able to clarify.

CODE COMPLIANCE INSPECTION:

On October 6, 2025, a lighting inspection was performed by the Code Compliance Division; no lighting violations were identified. On October 8, 2025, an inspection of the common areas was conducted by the Code Compliance Division , Neighborhood Service Staff and Park Management. One (1) violation was identified.

A notice was mailed to the Park manager and owner informing them of the violations. (Attachment “3”).

A reinspection was conducted and as of October 23, 2025, all violations were corrected (Attachment “5”).

STAFF REPORT

November 5, 2025
File Number 1320-65

SUBJECT

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOLID WASTE RATE INCREASE

DEPARTMENT
Utilities Department

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025 -141, approving the annual residential and commercial solid waste and recycling rate adjustments pursuant to the terms of the City of Escondido’s (“City’s”) adopted Solid Waste and Recycling Franchise Agreement with Escondido Disposal, Inc. (“EDI”).

Upon approval by the City Council, the proposed rate adjustments will become effective January 1, 2026.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The San Diego Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for all urban consumers increased by 3.8341 percent from the first half of 2024 to the first half of 2025 ( 370.897 to 385.211). Pending City Council approval of the proposed rate increase, solid waste and recycling rates would increase by the same percentage.

The City collects a franchise fee from EDI for the exclusive right to collect and process commercial and residential solid waste, recyclables, and green waste. Escondido’s current franchise fee is 13.5 percent of EDI’s gross revenues. With this Council approval, the Franchise Fee paid to the City by EDI will increase up

0.5 percent from 13.5 percent to 14 percent. The result will be increased revenue for the city from the franchise fee and increased revenue associated with the adjusted CPI rates. The City would therefore collect $0.34 per customer per month in Franchise Fees for essential residential services. For basic commercial services, the Franchise Fee will increase by $1.56 per monthly customer. These franchise fees are revenue for the City’s General Fund.

62 Item9.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On June 19, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-61, authorizing a Franchise Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City, Escondido Disposal, Inc., and Escondido Resource Recovery, division of EDCO Refuse Services, Inc. The Agreement specified rates to be charged for solid waste and recycling services, established initial ma ximum rates paid by the ratepayers, and authorized the contractor to increase rates annually by a percentage equal to the previous year’s CPI increase. The Agreement established that the City Council must adopt, by resolution, the proposed annual increases submitted by EDI for these rates to take effect.

On November 20, 2019, the City Council conducted a Proposition 218 Hearing and adopted Resolution No. 2019 -142, approving Franchise Fee increases through 2024, and including approval of a 2.7824 percent increase for residential and commercial collection services, effective January 1, 2020.

On October 28, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020 -130, approving a 1.3057 percent increase for residential and commercial collection services, effective January 1, 2021.

On November 3, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021 -158, approving a 4.0524 percent increase for residential and commercial collection services, effective January 1, 2022.

On November 16, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-158, approving an 8.1468 percent increase for residential and commercial collection services, effective January 1, 2023.

On November 13, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023 -136, approving a 5.4810 percent increase for residential and commercial collection services, effective January 1, 2024.

On November 20, 2024, the City Council conducted a Proposition 218 Hearing and adopted Resolution No. 2024-143, approving Franchise Fee increases through 2029, and including a 3.4788 percen t increase for residential and commercial collection services, effective January 1, 2025.

The rate increases in the table below were requested by EDI and approved by the City Council for basic residential and commercial collection services over the last five years:

Date Residential
Increase
Commercial
Increase
January 2020 2.7824% 2.7824%
January 2021 1.3057% 1.3057%
January 2022 4.0524% 4.0524%
January 2023 8.1468% 8.1468%
January 2024 5.4810% 5.4810%
January 2025 3.4788% 3.4788%
Proposed January 2026 3.8341% 3.8341%
63 Item9.

BACKGROUND
On September 30, 2025, the City received notice from Escondido Disposal, Inc., requesting an increase in the solid waste and recycling rates in accordance with Section 13.2(A) of the City of Escondido Waste and Recycling Franchise Agreement.

The proposed rate increases are set by the 3.8341 percent change in the CPI between the first half of 2024 and the first half of 2025. Pending approval of the rate increases by the City Council, residential and commercial rate increase notices will be mailed to customers in November 2025.

Under the proposed CPI rate increase for residential accounts, the total monthly rate for curbside trash and recycling collection will increase by $ 1.35 per month, from $ 31.52 to $32.87. Current commercial rates will be increased by the same change in CPI . A typical commercial rate for a three -yard container services once a week will increase by $6.18 per month from $141.41 to $147.59. These amounts include the base fee, franchise fee, AB939 fee, and Household Hazardous Waste Fee.

The proposed 3.8341 percent increase would become effective January 1, 2026, and will apply to all residential and commercial collection rates and services as presented in Exhibit “A” to Resolution No. 2025-141.

Household Hazard ous Waste (“HHW”) fees and AB939 fees were established in 1994. AB939 is an Assembly bill enacted into law that authorizes the collection of fees to fund recycling and waste reduction programs required by the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1 989. HHW fees were last increased on January 1, 2006. AB939 fees were last increased on January 1, 2019. No increases in either AB939 or HHW fees are being requested at this time, therefore the HHW fee will remain $0.52 per month and the AB929 fee will remain at $0.63 per month.

If the City Council adopts the proposed increases, the residential total monthly base rate for solid waste organics and recycling services and the commercial total monthly rate (using a three -yard bin collected once per week as a n example) will increase according to the following tables. These tables are for illustrated purposes; the complete list of recommended increases is provided in Exhibit “A”.

Basic Residential Rates
Basic Residential Rate Current Proposed Increase Effective 1/1/2026
Base $26.27 $1.01 $27.28
Franchise Fee $4.10 $0.34 $4.44
AB939 $0.63 No Increase $0.63
HHW $0.52 No Increase $0.52
Total $31.52 $1.35 Total Increase $32.87
64 Item9.

Typical Commercial Rate
Basic Commercial Rate Current Proposed Increase Effective 1/1/2026
3-yard bin, once/week $120.38 $4.62 $125.00
Franchise Fee $18.79 $1.56 $20.35
AB939 $1.72 No Increase $1.72
HHW $0.52 No Increase $0.52
Total $141.41 $6.18 Total Increase $147.59
The proposed increases to the rates and fees charged by EDI would become effective January 1, 2026, and apply to all commercial and residential collection rates. The complete tables of the new proposed rates are shown in Exhibit “A” to Resolution No. 2025-141.

RE: Solid Waste & Recycling Service Fees for CY 2026
Dear Kim:

Family owned and operated Escondido Disposal Inc (EDI) is honored to serve the City of Escondido and fully committed to providing superior customer service to the community.

While rate adjustments are never desired, they are necessary to ensure a continued reinvestment in personnel, equipment, facilities, and quality of service. Consistent with the Solid Waste Franchise Agreement between EDI and the City, annual rate adjustments are allowable based on year over year changes in the San Diego-Carlsbad Consumer Price Index (CPI).

As the attached demonstrates, the most recent year over year change in the relevant CPI was

3.8341%. As part of the five-year Proposition 218 process conducted in 2024, the City also proposed increasing Franchise Fees one half percent each year of the notice period.

The combined effect of these two elements is that, effective January 1, 2026, the proposed residential rate for basic service would be adjusted $1.35 per month and for basic 3 cubic yard trash service would be adjusted $6.18 per month. Attached please find a detailed rate sheet reflecting the effect of these changes.

Please review the attached information and call me with any questions. Thank you for your consideration of this information.

Sincerely,
Matthew Cleary
General Manager
