SECOND AMENDMENT TO PUBLIC SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH UNIFIRST CORPORATION TO PROVIDE

DEPARTMENT
Finance

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026 -70, authorizing the Mayor to execute the Second Amendment to the Public Services Agreement (“PSA”) with UniFirst Corporation for uniform rental and laundry services.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Finance: Christina Holmes, Director of Finance) Presenter: Christina Holmes, Director of Finance
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, internal requirement in support of uniformed City employees COUNCIL PRIORITY –

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The total cost for services shall vary depending on the number of garments rented during the year. The unit prices for this PSA and subsequent amendments are firm. A list of unit prices is listed in Exhibit 1 to the PSAs Scope of Work (attached to Resolution No. 2026-70). Sufficient funds will be appropriated in the Departments’ operating budget for each fiscal year to cover their unifo rm rental and laundry services costs.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On March 10, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021 -35, authorizing the Mayor to execute a PSA with UniFirst Corporation in the amount of $156,000. This PSA provided for an initial two-year term with the City retaining the option to extend the agreement for up to five additional one-year terms.

BACKGROUND
The City provides uniform and laundry services for employees required to wear a uniform as deemed appropriate for the health and safety of the employee. The City also provides uniforms to readily identify 38 Item6.

employees who have continuing contact with the public and/or who are performing tasks, which by their nature dictate that they are clearly recognized as City employees. These uniform and laundry services are provided to employees in Public Works, Building Maintenance, Fleet Services, Hale Avenue Resource Recovery Facility, Environmental Compliance, Water Treatment Plant, Lakes, and Community Services.

The City issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) on December 10, 2020, inviting qualified uniform service companies to submit their proposals to provide rental and cleaning services for uniforms, mats, towels, and other items. Proposals were received from Aramark Uniform & Career Apparel, LLC, and UniFirst Corporation. Staff determined that although both proposals were deemed responsive and both companies were capable of providing the uniform services, UniFirst Corporation was able to provide the services at the lowest cost.

UniFirst Corporation was awarded with a two-year agreement; with the option to extend the contract for a maximum of five additional years th ereafter. Although the PSA included renewal options, the City did not process the first option to renew prior to the contract’s expiration. As a result, the agreement lapsed and a new contract was executed in order to continue services.

The new PSA with UniFirst Corporation was executed by the City Manager on November 22, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $146,000 , to cover services from November 2023 through June 30, 2024. This agreement included the City’s option to extend for the remain der of the five o ne-year terms previously approved by Council.

A first amendment to the PSA was executed by the City Manager on June 23, 2025, extending the contract term through fiscal year 2025-26 and adding funds bringing the total not to exceed price to $200,000.

This Second Amendment to the PSA is extending the contract term through fiscal year 2026-27 and adding funds of $75,000, bringing the total not to exceed price to $275,000.

A third amendment is anticipated to be executed to cover services through fiscal year 2027-28.

SUBJECT

PUBLIC SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH HAWTHORNE POWER SYSTEMS FOR THE MODERNIZATION OF THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT’S EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM

DEPARTMENT
Utilities, Water

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026 -72, authorizing the Mayor to execute a Public Services Agreement with Hawthorne Power Systems in the amount of $ 736,764.43 for the design, installation, testing, and commissioning of modernization improvements to the Water Treatment Plant’s Emergency Power Supply System (“Project”).

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Utilities: Daniel Peterson, Director of Utilities) Presenter: Reed Harlan, Assistant Director of Utilities, Water ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, Keep C ity Clean for Public Health and Safety; Clean Water; Public Works/Infrastructure
COUNCIL PRIORITY –Prioritize Public Safety

FISCAL ANALYSIS
This Project will be funded through the Water Fund as part of the Capital Improvement Program.

PREVIOUS ACTION
Installed in 201 6, the Emergency Power Supply System ( “EPSS”) provides backup power to the Water Treatment Plant during outages.

The City entered into a service agreement with Hawthorne Power Systems in 2016 for ongoing maintenance of the EPSS. The system has been continuously maintained under this agreement since installation.

50 Item7.

BACKGROUND
The Water T reatment Plant relies on two emergency generators to maintain operations during power outages. These ge nerators are controlled by an older sy stem that is no longer su pported by the manufacturer. While the system continues to function, maintaining it long term is increasingly challenging and introduces operational risk over time.

This Project proactive ly mod ernizes the con trol syste m to i mprove reliabilit y, ensur e l ong-term supportability, and reduce the likelihood that staff would need to operate the system manually during a power outage.

The upgrade will be performed by Hawthorne Power Systems, the original installer of the Emergency Power Supply System and the firm that has maintained it since installation . Due to the specialized and proprietary nature of the system, this work must be performed by an authorized provider with the appropriate access and expertise, and using the original installer ma intains continuity and reduces implementation risk.

The Automobile Liability endorsement shall be at least as broad as ISO Form CA 20 01.
(3) Primary Coverage.

Any Workers’ Compensation policy required by this Agreement shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the CITY for all work performed by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees and subcontractors.
(7) Self-Insurance. CONTRACTOR may, with the CITY’s prior written consent, fulfill some or all of the insurance requirements contained in this Agreement under a plan of self - insurance.

CONTRACTOR’s utilization of self- insurance shall not in any way limit the liabilities assumed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement.
(8) Self-Insured Retentions. Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On December 17, 2025, the City Council accepted a FY 2024 Operation Stonegarden Grant in the amount of $10,000 to pay overtime expenses for crime suppression details. For the past fourteen years, Stonegarden funding has allowed the Escondido Police Department to partner with local law enforcement agencies to address criminal activities that affect the community. FY 2024 Operation Stonegarden funds allowed the Escondido Police Department to participate in a regional operation that focused on gang crime and narcotic trafficking activities.

BACKGROUND
The Police Department received a $10,000 FY 2025 Operation Stonegarden Grant. Funding was provided by the California Office of Emergency Services, through the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. 96 Item8.

The Police Department proposes to use grant funds to pay overtime expenses for multi-disciplinary crime suppression operations related to human trafficking, narcotics trafficking, weapons trafficking, and criminal gang activity. Throughout San Diego County, all local law enforcement agencies participate in Operation Stonegarden. This grant will provide operational funding to enforce local and state laws. Grant funds will not be used to enforce immigration laws on behalf of Customs and Border Protection/Border Patrol.

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 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 February 21 , 202 4, a short -form application was considered and approved. An increase of 5.714 percent was approved, resulting in an average space increase of $34.58 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 from the Mobilehome Park Rent Review Board (“Board”). This Board is an independent body comprised of the City of Escondido Councilmembers.
103
Item12.

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 i s 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.

Casa Grande Mobile Estates (“Park”) is located at 1001 S Hale Ave, Escondido, CA 92029. The Park has a total of 102 spaces, of which 101 spaces are subject to rent control. The Park is requesting an increase for the 101 rent-controlled spaces. The amenities available for the residents include a clubhouse with a kitchen and fireplace, pool table, Ping-Pong table, a library, a swimming pool and sauna, RV storage, and coin laundry facilities.

Casa Grande Mobile Estates submitted a short -form application on March 11, 2026. (Attachment “1”).

City staff reviewed the final application and deemed it to be complete on April 14, 2026. City staff mailed a letter, written in both English and Spanish, on April 14, 2026, notifying the affected park residents of the application and proposed rent increase, upcoming residential meeting, and public hearing date (Attachment “2”).

Casa Grande Mobile Estates short-form application is available for review at the Park office, on the Housing and Neighborhood Services website, and the Housing and Neighborhood Services Division counter at City Hall.

Housing and Neighborhood Services and Code Compliance staff facilitated an in -person meeting for the affected residents on April 27, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Code Compliance conducted a lighting inspection on April 27, 2026, and completed an inspection of the common areas on April 28, 2026.

City sta ff mailed a 10 -day notice written in both English and Spanish to residents on May 21, 202 6 reminding them of the June 3, 2026 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 ninety percent ( 90%) of the change in CPI for the period of 2024 through 2025. A park is allowed to request up to ninety percent (90%) of the current CPI. Under Section 11(D) of the Guidelines it states , “In determining whether the amount of the park owner’s requested 104
Item12.

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.” Th ese 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 3.409 percent (3.409%) for the period of consideration. The projected average monthly rent for the residents that are affected by this application is $665.69. The average monthly increase requested for the 101 spaces is $21.95 per space, per month. This increase ranges from to $11.36 - $27.89 per space, per month.

RESIDENT MEETING AND COMMENTS:

All residents affected by this request were invited to attend a meeting in their clubhouse April 27, 2026, at 6: 00 p.m. The meeting was attended by sixteen residents, the Park manager , and City staff. The application and the short-form hearing procedures w ere reviewed with the residents. Residents asked questions regarding their individual increases, CPI percentages, and the process for rent control within the City . Staff was able to detail the requested increase process and what the short-form application entailed. City staff clarified to residents that the increase was based solely on the change in CPI over the requested period. Residents also had questions for park management concerning how often they plan on submitting application increases.

HOME projects and administrative costs have been funded with both HOME and Successor Housing Agency funds, and no General Funds will be used for these projects.

On April 10, 2026, HUD announced that the City will receive an allocation of $563,047.23 in HOME funds for FY 2026-2027. HOME funds will be used to support the Consolidated Plan priorities.

128
Item13.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On June 25, 2025, the City Council conducted a Public Hearing to solicit and consider citizen input on the Five Year 2025 -2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025 -2026 Annual Action Plan for the use of Community Development Block Grant (“ CDBG”) and HOME funds ; adopted Resolution No. 2025 -69 approving FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan for the use of CDBG and HOME funds, conditionally committing funds to projects ; authorized the Director of Community Development to execute contracts as appropriate; and approved the submittal of the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and the FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan to HUD.

On January 7, 2026, the City Council received a presentation providing an overview of the CDBG and HOME Investment Partnership Program (“HOME”) programs.

On February 18, 2026, the City Council conduct ed a Public Hearing to review and reaffirm the priorities adopted in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.

On February 25, 2026 , the City Council conducted a Public Hearing to approve an allocation process for FY 2026-2027 utilizing the maximum allowable allocation for administration of the HOME Program.

BACKGROUND
The City of Escondido is considered an entitlement jurisdiction and receives an annual allocation from HUD for the operations of its HOME program. The funding is determined by a formula calculated by HUD, based on population, age of the city and poverty levels. The City’s allocation can fluctuate year -to-year causing funding to increase or decrease in various programs.

As a recipient of the federal funds, the City is required to submit a five-year Consolidated Plan, an Annual Action Plan that is required for each year of the Consolidated Plan period, and a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (“CAPER”) to monitor its progr ess, outcomes, and expenditures for the program year.

The Consolidated Plan is intended to provide a comprehensive, strategic framework for a community to establish a unified vision and Action Plan to address the needs of low-and moderate- income individuals, families and neighborhoods. The goals of the HOME program specifically, are to expand and preserve the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for very low- and low- income families.

HUD requirements for the development of the Consolidated Plan include a community assessment of the City’s housing and community development needs, including homeless and non-homeless needs and the development of a comprehensive citizen participation plan . In accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, the City must conduct at least one Public Hearing each year regarding the proposed allocation of HOME funds. The first Public Hearing was held on February 25, 2026 where Council approved 129
Item13.

the allocation process for FY 2026 -2027 HOME funding. A seco nd Public Hearing will be held on June 3, 2026, to review and approve funding allocations to specific programs and/or projects.

Based on the community needs assessments and public participation, four overarching priorities have been identified for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan period. Each year, prior to the adoption of the One- Year Action Plan, the City Council is asked to review and reaffirm the priorities and may choose to adopt changes at that time. For FY 2026-2027 these priorities were reaffirmed at the February 18, 2026, council meeting.

FY 2025-2029 HOME Priorities
• Support the development and preservation of affordable rental and homeownership opportunities.
• Expand access to supportive services to prevent and reduce homelessness, promote housing stability, and foster long-term solutions.
• Promote safe and healthy communities by improving public facilities, upgrading infrastructure, and supporting neighborhood revitalization efforts. • Deliver essential public services to vulnerable popu lations, including youth, families, and seniors with low to moderate incomes and individuals with special needs.

HOME is a federal block grant program that provides funding to states and cities to be used exclusively for affordable housing activities to benefit low-income households. Funds for HOME are appropriated annually to HUD, which in turn distributes funding to states and cities.

HOME funds may only be used for affordable housing activities, including:
 New Construction of Owner-Occupied and Rental Housing: Building new affordable housing units for both homeownership and rental.
 Rehabilitation of Owner -Occupied and Rental Housing: Repairing and upgrading existing housing units.
 Tenant-Based Rental Assistance ( “TBRA”): Providing direct rental assis tance to low -income individuals and families.
 Assistance to Homebuyers: Supporting homeownership through down payment assistance, closing costs, etc.

HUD provides a very specific list of eligible activities. If a project or expense is not included in this list, it is most likely an ineligible expense.

Citizen Participation and Public Outreach
Citizen participation is a primary requirement for the preparation of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans. In accordance with the Citizen Participation Plan, the City must conduct two Public Hearings 130
Item13.

to solicit and consider citizen input on the A nnual Action Plan. The first Public Hearing for HOME funds was held on February 18, and the second will be held on June 3. The City Council actions on June 3, will approve specific programs and activities to be undertaken with FY 2026 -2027 HOME funds. Final commitment is dependent on HUD’s acceptance of the Action Plan, completion of a National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) environmental review, and receipt of environmental clearance from HUD.

The City released a public notice in the Escondido Times Adv ocate, on April 16, 2026, noticing a 30 -day public comment period on the draft 2026 -2027 One Year Action Plan for HOME and CDB G funds.

Additionally, staff posted a copy of the draft Annual Action Plan on the Housing and Neighborhood Services Department website and made hard copies available at the front counter in City Hall. At the time of this report, City staff received four public comments, questions, or concerns on the priorities or plans.

During the open public comment period, City staff presented on the Annual Action Plan at three community meetings. The first was on April 23, 2026 to the Neighborhood Leadership Forum, the second was on May 1, 2026 at the Escondido Education COMPACT’s CAFÉ Meeting, and the third was at a Community Forum, hosted by Housing and Neighborhood Services, on May 7, 2026 at City Hall. A total of 43 community members attended the meetings. In addition to the Community Alliance for Escondido (“CAFÉ”) meeting, the flyer requesting feedback was sent to CAFÉ’s list serve of approximately 300 service providers. The flyer was also posted to the City’s social media channels. 2026-2027 HOME Budget Proposal

Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-87 approving an MOU with The Rinks Foundation to explore the feasibility of The Rinks Foundation constructing and operating, via a long-term lease, a three- sheet community ice facility in Kit Carson Park (“Project”).

Staff Recommendation: Approval (City Manager’s Office: Sean McGlynn, City Manager) Presenter: Joanna Axelrod, Deputy City Manager
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – No
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Drive Community and Land Development

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The proposed MOU is a non-binding agreement to negotiate; therefore, there is no direct fiscal impact to the City from the MOU.

Should the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-87, the fiscal impact, including anticipated City revenue projections, is generally described in Exhibit “A” to Resolution No. 2026-87 (“MOU”) and will be more fully developed and refined as a lease is finalized and the Project progresses. Long-term City costs associated with the Project and the facility, if any, are unknown at this time. Costs associated with the relocation and construction of the City of Escondido Adult Softball complex to Francis Ryan Park (“Ryan Park”), in order to accommodate construction of the Project, are unknown at this time but will be explored as part of the feasibility analysis. In addition to investing in the construction and operation of the proposed facility, The Rinks Foundation will make a $4 million contribution to the adult softball complex relocation costs.

PREVIOUS ACTION
N/A
137
Item14.

BACKGROUND
The Rinks Foundation (“TRF”) presented the City of Escondido (“City”) with a preliminary proposal to fully fund, construct, and operate an indoor ice rink facility. The Rinks Foundation is a nonprofit organization that operates eight hockey and skating facilities in Southern California, including The Rinks – Poway ICE in Poway, Calif ornia and Great Park Ice in Irvine, Calif ornia. The Rinks Foundation was founded by philanthropists and owners of the San Diego Gulls and Anaheim Ducks, Henry and Susan Samueli.

This proposed community ice facility would not only increase the number of ice sheets and recreational opportunities for youth and adults across the entire region but also serve as the future official training facility for the San Diego Gulls Hockey Club. The facility would also serve as a driver of economic development for the City – particularly given the proposed location adjacent to the Mershop s North County Mall.

The proposed MOU with TRF establishes a non -binding framework under which the City and TRF w ill collaboratively explore the feasibility of developing a state -of-the-art ice and recreational facility at the south end of Kit Carson Park where the City of Escondido Adult Softball complex currently resides . The MOU allows both parties to evaluate site constraints, financial feasibility, community impacts, and long - term public benefits prior to any future commitment to construction or operat ions. As part of the feasibility effort, the City, in conjunction with the TRF team, will convene and gather community input to advise the City Council when the proposal returns for further consideration.

This feasibility effort reflects a shared interest in expanding and diversifying high-quality recreational opportunities for Escondido residents while catalyzing long-term economic and community development.

The Samueli Family’s Philanthropic Leadership and Community Investment The Rinks Foundation is part of a broader ecosystem of community -focused philanthropic efforts supported by the Samueli family, one of Southern California’s most recognized family philanthropies.

Through the Samueli Foundation, Irvine Ice Foundation, TRF, and other Samueli-affiliated organizations, the family has invested more than $1 billion over the last 25 years in education, health, human services, and community development, including an emphasis on access to youth sports and recreation.

A hallmark example of this approach is Great Park Ice & FivePoint Arena in Irvine —one of the largest public ice facilities in the United States. Developed at a cost of approximately $110 million and funded almost entirely through private and philanthropic sources, the facility was designed to serve not only as a 138
Item14.

training venue, but as a community -centered recreational hub open to the public. Since opening, Great Park Ice has supported youth and adult hockey, figure skating, learn -to-skate programs, regional and national tournaments, and community events, while creating hundreds of jobs and generating sustained economic activity for the surrounding area.

More recently, the Samueli family is developing OCVIBE in Anaheim—a privately funded, $5 billion mixed- use entertainment district anchored by sports, entertainment, parks, housing and public gathering spaces.

OCVIBE is an economic catalyst, transforming underutilized land into a vibrant regional destination with long-term fiscal and social benefits for the host community.

A Generational Opportunity for Escondido
Much like Great Park Ice in Irvine and OCVIBE in Anaheim, a state -of-the-art community ice facility in Escondido has the potential to serve as a generational civic asset—one that delivers benefits well beyond recreation alone.

Such a facility could:
 Attract regional tournaments, events, and visitors, increasing hotel stays and local spending  Serve as a year -round community gathering place for families, youth, and seniors , including community programming and public skating providing access to ice sports  Support workforce development, employment, and volunteer opportunities  Reinforce Escondido’s identity as a destination for active lifestyles and family-oriented recreation Experience in other com munities demonstrates that well -designed recreational anchors can stimulate adjacent investment, increase park utilization, and enhance a city’s overall quality of life over decades — not just years. The proposed MOU allows the City to rigorously assess whet her these outcomes are achievable at Kit Carson Park before any future commitments are considered. This includes gathering community input about the Project to advise the Council during future deliberations. 139
Item14.

London Moeder Advisors has conducted an economic impact analysis of the proposed Project. A full report will be available soon, but preliminary analysis shows that , amongst other benefits, this Project could produce $12,288,423 in one -time direct construction-related wages and $10,878,627 in recurring annual economic output generated from stabilized operations of the facility.

Loss of Ice Recreation in Escondido
The permanent closure of Ice-Plex Escondido in July 2020 eliminated the City’s only dedicated ice-skating facility. Ice-Plex served Escondido a nd North County for more than 25 years, offering youth and adult hockey, figure skating, learn -to-skate programs, and public skating opportunities until mounting operational losses and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic forced its closure. Today, there are only six ice sheets in all of San Diego County.

Since that time, Escondido youth, families, and adult participants seeking ice recreation have been required to travel outside the community —often long distances —to access comparable facilit ies. The absence of a local ice venue has reduced opportunities for participation in organized sports, informal recreation, and positive after-school activities.

More than 200 families regularly drive from San Diego County to Great Park Ice for hockey programming and league, requiring hours on the road due to lack of facilities in San Diego County.

Community Sentiment and Youth Recreation Needs
City staff routinely observe community feedback - particularly on social media and during public engagement processes - calling for more structured, positive recreational outlets for youth and teens.

Residents frequently cite the need for safe, engaging activities that promote physical health, teamwork, and mentorship while providing constructive alternatives during after-school and evening hours.

Ice and recreational facilities operated by TRF in other communities are designed to serve participants of all ages, abilities, and income levels, emphasizing inclusivity, youth development, and community stewardship. Reintroducing ice recreation to Escondido directly responds to this expressed community sentiment while complementing existing park and recreation programs. 140
Item14.

Partnership Commitment and Ballfield Relocation Support As part of its commitment to partnership with the City, in addition to fully funding the construction and operation of the facility, The Rinks Foundation would contribute $4 million toward the relocation of the Adult Softball complex to Ryan Park. The Ryan Park Master Plan currently envisions the construction of ballfields at the site. This contribution reflects TRF’s shared desire with the City to minimize disruption to existing recreational users during any transition period.

City staff and TRF have a shared commitment to carefully sequence planning, construction, and relocation efforts in a manner that maintains continuity of programming , minimizes disruption, and prioritizes community access.

Conclusion
Approval of the proposed MOU does not commit the City to construction or long-term operation. Rather, it authorizes a structured, collaborative feasibility and community engagement process to determine whether a state-of-the-art ice and recreational facility can be successfully integrated into Kit Carson Park in a way that advances and diversifies Escondido’s economic, recreational, and community development goals.

Given the Samueli family’s demonstrated track record of delivering community-centered, privately funded civic assets, the loss of local ice recreation since 2020, and strong community interest in expanded youth recreational opportunities, staff recommends approval of the MOU.

If Council approves the MOU, staff will host a series of community listening sessions about the proposed Project to gather feedback and will return to Council to provide a recommendation on next steps.
