Description of Team's Qualifications to Conduct the Needs Assessment For over 130 years, the City of Escondido has been serving the people of Southern California, and in doing so, has
developed a deep understanding of the needs of the community. City staff have access to a broad range of resources, partners, and community knowledge that qualifies them to conduct a Transportation Needs Assessment. The City of Escondido Traffic Engineering Division will be managing the needs assessment. The City follows a Request For Proposal (RFP) contracting processes. Staff will draft an RFP and outline the expectations of the consultants that are interested in coordinating the public outreach, data collection, and preparation of the Needs Assessment. This process will ensure that a consulting firm with extensive experience preparing Needs Assessments and facilitating public outreach is selected to lead the technical aspects of this effort.
The City manages 315 centerline-miles of roadway with 170 signalized intersections across 37.35 square miles. Aside from parts of Interstate 15 and State Route 78, which are both owned and maintained by Caltrans, the City owns and maintains all public roads. With primary responsibility and control of the rights-of-way, City staff are poised to implement projects arising out of the assessment without need for right-of-way permissions. As a full-service city, Escondido employs a team of traffic engineers with direct and intimate knowledge of the City’s transportation strengths and weaknesses, along with the history of the City’s initiatives and programs. Much of Escondido’s strength in conducting this Needs Assessment will come from its diverse collection of community partners. The City regularly coordinates with the Escondido Union School District, Escondido Union High School District, Escondido Police Department, SANDAG, and many community-based organizations. The collective knowledge from these partnerships will inform the City in completion of the assessment.
Drawing on that shared information, the City will build on its own knowledge base for the community’s needs. Escondido staff will utilize previous outreach and action steps from its Climate Action Plan and the Mobility and Infrastructure chapter of its General Plan. The needs assessment will also be conducted concurrently with the public outreach component of the Comprehensive Active Transportation Strategy that the City is preparing to increase mobility options. Staff will also draw on knowledge and experience gained from the operation of its largest current transportation initiative, the Senior Nutrition Transportation Program, which provides free door-to-door transportation for seniors to access hot meals at the Escondido Senior Center.

Item7.
The City of Escondido connects with its residents regularly through direct feedback and through partner organizations. As a municipal
agency under the direction of a publicly-elected City Council, the operations of the City are a direct result of feedback from the community. Input from the community is gathered through city council meetings, public engagements, focus groups, community surveys, Community Advisory Groups, Boards & Commissions, and through the website and “Report It!” smartphone app. The City also gathers valuable information from its partners throughout the area. City staff collect quantitative data from the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), the local Metropolitan Planning Organization, as well as the North County Transit District (NCTD), who manages transit in the region. Qualitative data comes in through partnerships with local school districts and Community Based Organizations, like the Healthy Escondido Coalition, Escondido Education COMPACT, and Interfaith Community Services. The City has worked successfully in the past with the National Latino Research Center, based at nearby California State University San Marcos, on projects requiring significant and meaningful community outreach. Most recently, Escondido’s Principal Planner, Veronica Morones, engaged in substantial public engagement to develop the Environmental Justice chapter of the City’s General Plan.

Explanation of Why a Transportation Needs Assessment is Needed Resolution No. 2023-69

Item7.
The City’s need for a Transportation Needs Assessment stems from a desire to educate and learn from the community. As Escondido has grown
from a rural farm town to a bustling urban hub of commerce and transportation, there have been significant changes in the demographics of its residents and the supports and resources they require. Additionally, the City has been divided by Interstate 15 and SR-78, which further restrict reasonable active transportation. City staff are aware of unmet needs in the City and desire to increase their understanding to better serve the public.
Escondido’s Climate Action Plan calls for a number of Citywide transportation improvement projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with a special focus on social equity and environmental justice. To meet these goals, the traffic engineering team must engage in a significant exchange of information with residents. The City wants to ensure that its infrastructure and programs are beneficial to the people they are designed to serve, so it is essential to educate residents on current options and best practices, then gather community feedback on current gaps and future desires.
As shown on the attached Project Area Map, extensive portions of the City of Escondido meet the low- income definitions of AB1550, including the vast majority of the City’s urban core. Census tracts included in the plan area account for 76% of the City’s total population, showing the broad reach and considerable impact this assessment will have. Per 2020 census data, 35% of occupied households in Escondido own one or no vehicles. With an average occupancy of 3.2 people per household, this equates to over one third of households being limited on mobility options for when and how they commute to work, take their children to school, access groceries, and complete other daily tasks.
A recent SANDAG regional transit analysis, the Flexible Fleet Strategic Implementation Plan (FFSIP) showed Escondido as a priority area for mobility improvements based on the City’s high percentage of minority residents and low-income households in conjunction with its geographic location as a mobility hub and gateway connector for access to Urban San Diego. This report is much broader in nature and more oriented toward regional transportation. Escondido’s assessment will include significantly more community interaction to expose the mobility gaps that challenge Escondido residents, specifically those in low-income neighborhoods.

Summary of Existing Regional or Community-Level Transportation Needs Assessment Efforts The City of Escondido does not currently have a Community Transportation Needs Assessment.
SANDAG’s Flexible Fleet Strategic Implementation
Plan included some limited assessment of
Escondido’s transportation needs as part of a regional report focused on connecting transit centers.
Escondido plans to build upon this information with a more accessible and local Transportation Needs Assessment that engages the community with clarity and transparency.

Description of Potential Transportation Gaps and Solutions that the Needs Assessment will Address

Item7.
Escondido is aware of many potential gaps that a thorough assessment will illuminate. According to American Community Survey data analyzed by the Healthy Places Index (HPI), Escondido households have lower automobile access than 82.8% of the state. Additionally, HPI data reports that only 15.4% of people in Escondido live close to convenient, reliable transit, exposing a significant gap in the City’s transportation. The local school districts do not provide busing for all students, further showing a need for safe, reliable transportation to school and around the City. This issue is exacerbated by limited locations for pedestrians to cross Interstate 15, which divides the City and separates communities.
City staff hypothesize that a Needs Assessment will point towards a need for connections to the transit center, support for shorter trips to retail and medical centers, and options outside of regular operating hours. Escondido is the home to Westfield North County Shopping Mall, a significant location for employment and retail, but does not have convenient transit options connecting low-income communities to this valuable economic resource. The City hopes to collect community buy-in on specific details of these solutions, whether it is microtransit, micromobility, fixed-route circulators, or something else. In addition, information regarding the community’s knowledge and access to technology will assist in guiding future solutions. With American Community Survey data showing that over 20% of the City’s population has limited English proficiency, City staff suspect there could be gaps due to language barriers, as well, and plans on addressing that in educational and implementation materials.

Item7.
Immediately upon execution of the voucher agreement, Escondido will advertise a request for proposals and award the consultant contract. This is expected to be completed in months 1-2. During months 3-4, the City will develop an internal stakeholder group with the consultant. This group will develop educational materials and social media campaigns, collect data, and conduct preliminary outreach using surveys.
Surveys and educational information will be disseminated through the City’s communications department using social media, newsletter distribution lists, and the City website. City staff will also utilize the City’s partners’ communication networks, working with CBO partners to link social media posts and distribute paper and electronic copies of meeting notices, educational opportunities, and surveys. City staff will coordinate with School District personnel to share information with students’ families, and work with the City Community Services Division to secure meeting locations in the communities of focus. These communications will be organized by the selected consultant to maximize distribution to the intended audience in the languages and formats that will be most successful.
In months 4-9, the team will conduct public outreach in multiple modalities. City staff will defer to the consultant’s expertise, but expect to utilize the trusted messenger method through in-person forums, virtual workshops, school outreach, and internal stakeholder meetings. The traffic engineering team conducts quarterly Transportation and Community Safety Commission meetings in January, April, July, and October, which could be utilized for public input and updates. There is also an annual Traffic Safety Workshop presented during an August City Council Meeting that could be used for outreach, input, and public update. In an effort to gather as much input as possible from residents in disadvantaged communities, the City will conduct the majority of in-person events at locations other than City Hall. City staff have identified several community meeting locations throughout the project area including schools, community centers, and parks, which will be especially helpful for reaching residents who lack transportation and ability to attend meetings at City Hall. These community meetings will be conducted at various times during the day and evenings to maximize attendance. In months 9-11, the team will complete a Draft Assessment and report it to the public for additional input. Finally, in month 12, the Final Assessment will be released through the previously mentioned communication channels and the City will begin developing a project implementation plan.

Please accept my warm and respectful greetings.
In my capacity as the Constitutional Municipal President of San Jacinto Amilpas, it is a pleasure to address you and the distinguished academy you so honorably represent, to extend a cordial invitation to participate in the 2026 Cultural Week, which will be held from July 15 to 20 of this year in our municipality.

In light of this, we consider it highly important to have the valued presence and participation of Caliztlan Academy, an institution recognized for its commitment, discipline, and outstanding work in promoting and disseminating art and culture.
Furthermore, it would be a great honor to have your distinguished participation in our municipality's Guelaguetza, which will take place on July 19 in San Jacinto Amilpas, forming a key part of the activities of our 2026 Cultural Week.

Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-103 approving proposed fee changes to the Community Services Department fee schedule.
Staff Recommendation: Approval (Community Services: Joseph Goulart, Director of Public Works) Presenter: Robert Rhoades, Assistant Director of Community Services ESSENTIAL SERVICE – No
COUNCIL PRIORITY –Build Trust and Accountability; Financial Stewardship
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Community Services Department revenue has increased steadily, rising from $948,225 in Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2020 to $1,936,704 in FY2025, excluding revenues generated through contract agreements with the Escondido Union School District for Before and After School Program services. This growth reflects both program expansion and incremental fee adjustments over the period.
The proposed fee adjustments are expected to further support cost recovery goals by aligning program rental and service fees with current market conditions and actual cost of service delivery. The updated fees maintain a tiered pricing structure based on user classification and preserve discounted access for residents, nonprofit organizations, and community groups.
PREVIOUS ACTION
On July 10, 2024, the City Council approved a comprehensive update to the Community Services Department fee schedule. The approved action transitioned facility rental fees to a full cost ‑recovery model and adjusted recreation program fees to align with top ‑of‑market rates. In instances where comparable market data was unavailable, a 10 percent fee increase was applied. As part of the approval, the City Council directed staff to return in the second year of implementation to provide an update on the impacts of the revised fee structure.
381
Item9.
On May 20, 2026, the Community Services Department provided an update to the City Coun cil on implementation progress, financial performance, and community response to the revised fee structure.
The City Council supported four staff recommendations: adjusting Learn-to-Swim fees to market median levels to encourage participation; authorizing staff to reduce fees for price -sensitive programs if participation or usage declines by more than 25 percent; establishing a 50 percent discount for senior groups (age 60+) at the Park Avenue Community Center; and considering CPI-based rental fee adjustments beginning in Fiscal Year 2028 following additional evaluation.
BACKGROUND
The Community Services Department provides a diverse range of programs, services, and facilities including recreation programming, aquatic services, park and facility rentals, spo rts leagues, special events, and community spaces. User fees are an essential component of funding these services and ensuring their long-term sustainability.
Following the comprehensive fee restructuring adopted in 2024, staff conducted a second-year evaluation of the fee program to assess performance, cost recovery, and community accessibility. This review included benchmarking against comparable agencies, evaluating participation levels, and analyzing operational costs.
The proposed 2026 fee updates reflect this evaluation and include the following major changes:
Program and Activity Fees
Program and activity fee updates include the removal of skate park fees following the dismantling of the facility in January 2026, adjustments to Learn-to-Swim program fees to align with City Council supported direction to set pricing at the market median and encourage participation in this critical life safety program, and the elimination of print advertising fees due to the discontinuation of the printed Recreation Guide, with continued emphasis on digital advertising options. The remaining r ecreation program user fee pricing remains unchanged.
Facility Rental Fees
Facility rental fee updates include the establishment of pricing for future picnic area development to support planned park improvements, the introduction of new special event fees to standardize use of high-demand locations, and the addition of fees for facilities anticipated to come online this year, such as pickleball courts. The updates also incorporate a n ew 50 percent discount for senior groups (age 60 and older) at the Park Avenue Community Center to encourage use of the senior center space.
382
Item9.
Administrative and Add-On Fees
Administrative and add -on fee updates include the consolidation and clarification of existing fees to improve consistency and transparency, as well as the formalization of staffing fees for special events on a full cost recovery basis to ensure that event-related operational costs are appropriately recovered.
Library Fee Updates
Library fee updates include targeted adjustments to select user and retail fees to better reflect current costs, as well as the removal of fees that are no longer applicable or in use, ensuring the fee schedule remains accurate, relevant, and easy to administer.
The proposed fee updates represent a strategic refinement of the City’s user fee program following the major 2024 fee changes . The 2026 updates continue to support financial sustainability, improve cost recovery, and maintain equitable access to services for residents and community organizations.

PREVIOUS ACTION
The preliminary Five-Year CIP and FY2026/27 CIP Budget update was presented to the City Council on May 20, 2026.
BACKGROUND
The Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) is a five -year planning tool for major infrastructure, capital construction, improvements, maintenance projects, and other non‐capital type projects to accommodate restricted funding requirements. The CIP budget is adopted for a single year only, but the plan includes projected programming over a five -year period. The budget is updated and developed annually with a review of on -going projects, determination of available funding, and evaluation and prioritization of projects that respond to current needs and priorities of the City of Escondido.
The FY2026/27 Capital Improvement Program and Budget allocates new funding of $20,262,240 to programs and projects that support citywide initiatives around Traffic Safety and Public Safety in addition to high priority projects identified by the community. The new funding approved in FY2026/27 will add to the capital funding of $109,801,765 already allocated in previous years to ongoing projects and programs.
The CIP document organizes the projects into eight categories: General City, Library, Parks and Recreation, Public Safety, Public Works, Streets, Wastewater Utilities, and Water Utilities projects. The Project Detail Section of the document provides additional i nformation for new funding approved in FY2026/27 including a picture and description of the project , summary of the project costs along with the various funding sources used to fund the project.
ANNUAL OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS
The Five -Year Stree t Capital Improvement Program provides funding for the City’s Annual Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation project. Funding is also programmed towards storm drain repair and improvement in order to address the highest priority corrugated metal pipelines , traffic infrastructure, traffic signals and synchronization, street tree maintenance, and the Transportation and Community Safety Commission.
As has been the case since its inception in 2017, the City has elected to use Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (“RMRA”) funding on the City’s Annual Street Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project. This annual project will rehabilitate pavement and sidewalk in one maintenance zone within the City: Central-South Maintenance Zone. Street segments within th ese maintenance zones are prioritized based on pavement condition, volume of daily traffic, and input from the public and City staff. Exhibit “A” of Resolution No. 2026-94 provides the project details.

• ESC-58, Escondido Creek Drainage Capacity Upgrade
• ESC-48, Grand Avenue Streetscape Improvements
• ESC-37, Pavement Maintenance
• ESC-38, Pavement Rehabilitation
• ESC-62, Siera Linda Storm Drain Repair
• ESC-39, Traffic Signals
• ESC-63, Transportation Master Plan
TransNet funding for these projects constitutes the City’s TransNet Local Street Improvement Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2027 through 2031. Resolution No. 2026-95 shows the allocations to the 2026/2027 Regional Transportation Improvement Plan, and has been input into ProjectTrak, SANDAG’s automated system for programming of regional highway and street funds by City staff. This Program of Projects in the ProjectTrak system will align with the City’s CIP Budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The instant action is a request for the City Council to approve the CIP Budget, which is not a commitment of funds to any specific project but rather a general budgeting and fiscal planning tool. Similarly, the General Plan conformance report does not commit funding to any specific project and has been presented to the Planning Commission and the City Council pursuant to Government Code section 65401. All identified projects are subject to further environmental review and thus at this point are merely speculative. Staff has reviewed the list of identified projects and has determined that a number of projects will lik ely involve the need for preparation of environmental documentation in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). Environmental review will occur and appropriate environmental documents pursuant to CEQA and/or the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) may be prepared after a specific project scope is defined but prior to the City’s approval of the project itself, including review and approval of any related construction contracts or entitlements.
For these reasons, the instant action is not a project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, which excludes from the definition of “project” “[t]he creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment.” (CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4).)

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The proposed FY2026/27 Annual Operating Budget document can be viewed on the City’s website at:
https://www.escondido.gov/361/Current-Budget-Information
PREVIOUS ACTION
The preliminary FY2026/27 Operating Budget was presented to the City Council on May 20, 2026.
403
Item11.
BACKGROUND
The City’s annual budget process begins around December each yea r with an update of the budgetary forecast and the General Fund Multi-Year Financial Plan. The financial forecast takes a look forward at the City’s General Fund revenues and expenditures. The purpose of the forecast is to identify financial trends, shortfalls, and potential issues so the City can proactively address them. The forecast provi des a snapshot of what the future will look like, projecting the fiscal result of maintaining the City’s current service levels and policies.
Staff have prepared this budget for final approval after considering input from the City Council and public.
The appropriation total in FY2026/27 for all operating funds is $280.1 million. The General Fund is balanced with the use of Measure I funding and a one-time transfer of $2.8 million from the Section 115 Pension Trust Fund.
City Council Priorities
This budget aligns with the following strategic priorities validated by the City Council in September 2025, which serve as the foundation for budget planning:
Be Business Friendly
Build Trust and Accountability
Drive Community and Land Development
Financial Stewardship
Prioritize Public Safety
Restore Organizational Capacity
Measure I
Measure I, a one-cent general sales tax that increases the sales tax rate in Escondido from 7.75% to 8.75% and has a 20-year sunset, was placed on the November 2024 ballot and approved by voters with 61.12% in favor, demonstrating trust in City leadership and a commitment to investing in this community.
As a general tax, Measure I can be used for any general governmental purpose; however, the ballot language approved by voters specifically included these items as potential uses:
Providing public safety
Addressing homelessness
Improving streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure
Increasing police, fire, and paramedic services
Reducing traffic congestion
Maintaining parks, trails, and open space
404
Item11.
Citywide Initiatives
Utilizing both Measure I Local District Tax and General Fund revenues, the FY2026/27 Operating Budget provided resources for those essential services identified in the ballot language in addition to City Council priorities. This year’s budget builds on those initial investments and adds resources from Measure I revenue for two high priority Citywide initiatives:
Wildfire Mitigation Plan. Funding is included in the FY2026/27 Measure I budget for a wildfire mitigation software tool. This will use data to model wildfire behavior, support decisionmakers to pinpoint high-risk zones, prioritize interventions, and record mitigation efforts. In future years, additional resources including staff positions and equipment will be recommended to further build on the wildfire mitigation plan and create a wildland urban interface division. This division will reduce wildfire risk to life, property, and critical infrastructure through proactive fuel mitigation, brush clearance, and defen sible-space enforcement, consistent with the City of Escondido Community Wildfire Protection Plan ( “CWPP”) and other prioritized Wildland-Urban Interface (“WUI”) Mitigation planning tools.
Traffic Safety. The FY2026/27 budget provides resources for continued investments in traffic safety. For the Police Department, four new positions are included. Sworn police officers will strengthen traffic safety through proactive and preventative enforcement. In addition, an upgrade to the Police Department’s safe ty suite will play a key role in enhancing the department’s abilities to serve the community and effectively address the priorities of the Council now, and into the future as crime reduction and safety strategies will need to continually evolve. Measure I funding will also provide for the purchase of four digital message boards to display public safety campaigns for traffic safety and important notices Citywide.
Structural Budget Deficit
Despite the incredible investment in Escondido’s future from the approval of Measure I, it’s important to recognize that operating revenue has not kept pace with the growing costs of providing City services and, as a result, the General Fund long -term financial plan still projects annual deficits exceeding $6 million annually growing to $27 million by FY2042/43 which creates a structural budget deficit.
To address this projected shortfall, the City has maintained a hardline on expenditures and staff are continuously seeking measures that ensure efficiency, while enhancin g basic operations. In addition, since the Great Recession, the City has controlled costs by annually deferring maintenance and capital project costs. Between FY2023/24 and FY2024/25 the City deferred vehicle and equipment replacements, used more than $8 million in reserves available from internal service funds, and eliminated 10 full-time positions. Both the Library and California Center for the Arts were removed from the General Fund and were funded with American Rescue Plan Act Funds, a one -time source of funds that expire on December 31, 2026.
405
Item11.
Revenue-generating opportunities have been explored and some fully implemented with the approval of the City Council. These include the approval of a short -term rental program, joining the paramedic Ground Em ergency Medical Transportation Program, and moving the User Fee schedule to full cost recovery effective September 2024.
Despite all of these measures, and the City’s efforts to fund projects with grants and other sources of one- time funds, it has not b een enough to meet growing costs and demand for services. The passage of Measure I provides funding for the next 20 years that will mitigate the impacts of this structural deficit and provide Staff time to continue to explore additional ways to align revenues with expenditures.
Emergency Medical Service Fee Annual Consumer Price Index Adjustment In 2023, the Fire Department engaged with a consultant to conduct a Standards of Cover and Ambulance Transportation Fee Study. Based on the findings from this study, on October 23, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-152 which approved the current emergency medical services fee schedule.
This fee schedule set the Emergency Medical Services Fees at 100% cost recovery and was implemented in January 2025 . The Resolution also authorized an annual fee adjustment based on a Consumer Price Index, or CPI adjustment, specifically the US Health Care Inflation Rate Index. For calendar year 2025, that index adjustment is 3.1% . T he emergency medical services fees will be adjusted by the 3.1% effective with the new fiscal year July 1, 2026. The adjusted fee schedule is shown below.
Fee Description Current Fee
Adjusted Fees
Effective July 1, 2026
Base Rate $4,267 $4,399
Medications & IV Supplies Cost + 100% No change
Treatment Only – No Transport $200 $206
Mileage $40 / mile $41/mile
Oxygen Use $100 $103
Annual GANN Appropriations Limit
Also included with this agenda item is Resolution No. 2026- 92 approving the Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit) for Fiscal Year 2026/27.
California voters approved an initiative on November 6, 1979 that added Article XIIIB to the State Constitution, as amended by Proposition 98 in 1988 and Proposition 111 in 1990. The provisions of this article place limits on the amount of tax money that state and local governments can legally spend each fiscal year. In accordance with that legislation, the governing body of each government jurisdiction must, by resolution, establish its annual Appropriation Limit for the coming year (prior to July 1).
The Appropriation Limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-1979 fiscal year and adjusted each year for population changes and the changes in the US Consumer Price Index or California per capita personal income provided by the California Department of Finance. 406
Item11.
Based on Article XIIIB, the City of Escondido can use the larger of two measurements of population growth, (county or city population growth) in the Appropriations Limit calculation. For FY2026/27, the City is using the FY2025/26 percent change in population growth of the City in the calculation. The City typically uses the highest factor in order to provide maximum appropriation flexibility.
The Appropriations Limit for FY2026/27 is $1,971,262,078 for funds subject to the appropriation limit. The City's FY2026/27 budgeted appropriations of $143,556,420 are estimated to be $1,827,705,658 under the limit.
Unclassified and Management Salary and Benefits Plan and Full-Time Compensation Schedule The California Government Code, the California Code of Regulations and the Escondido Municipal Code all require the City to formally maintain a list of all unclassified position titles. For example, the California Code of Regulations requires that, for purposes of determining a retiring member’s pension allowance, the pay rate be limited to the amount listed “on a pay schedule that is approved by the governing body.” The law also requires that this type of item be adopted as a matter of “current business” by the governing body.
The City bi-annually updates the Salary Schedule and Benefits Plan for the Unclassified and Management Salary groups. The Schedule and the Salary Plan are legally required elements of the City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations established pursuant to state law and the Escondido Municipal Code.
The updated Salary and Benefits Plan for the Unclassified and Management groups are provided in Exhibit “A”, which is attached to Resolution No. 2026-105.
Subdivision (a) of the California Code of Regulations section 570.5 defines the requirements for a publicly available pay schedule used to determine pay rates. Pay rates shall be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule, which must be duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body; identify the position title for every employee position; show the pay rate as a single amount of multi ple amounts; indicate the time base; be posted at the office of the employer, be immediately accessible and available for public review, or posted on the employer’s website; indicate the effective date and date of any revisions; be retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years; may not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate. The full -time compensation schedule is outlined in Exhibit “A”, which is attached to Resolution No. 2026-107.

File Number 0680-10
SUBJECT
ORDINANCE NO. 2026-07 – BICYCLES, NONMOTORIZED VEHICLES, AND MOBILITY DEVICES
DEPARTMENT
Escondido Police Department
RECOMMENDATION
Request that City Council adopt Ordinance No. 2026 -07, amending Chapter s 5, 10, 18, and 28 of the Escondido Municipal Code to regulate Bicycles, Nonmotorized Vehicles, and Mobility Devices , and related enforcement activities.
Staff Recommendation: Approval (Police Department: Ken Plunkett, Chief of Police) Presenter: Craig Miller, Lieutenant, Traffic Division
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, Police Services
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Build Trust and Accountability; Prioritize Public Safety
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The training of traffic enforcement officers and other police personnel will come with an administrative cost. Additionally, officers may begin to impound bicycles, which may require additional protocols and storage space. Finally, minors under the age of 12 will be prohibited from riding on e-bicycles, which will require the implementation of a warning program for the first 60 days.
These costs may be offset by the fees recovered from impounding and storing bicycles, nonmotorized vehicles, and mobility devices. Officers may issue administrative citations for reckless operation.
PREVIOUS ACTION
Ordinance No. 2009-10 was adopted April 1, 2009, amending Chapter 5 in its entirety. Prior amendments were made in 1957, 1973, 1975, and 1988.
BACKGROUND
The current Escondido Municipal Code , Chapter 5 , provides out -of-date definitions of bicycles and nonmotorized vehicles. It fails to prohibit all the necessary areas where mobility devices should not be 458
Item12.
operated. The rules of operation are vague and do not provide guidance to the public on how to safely operate a mobility device. Finally, and most importantly, the current version does not provide any regulations for the new and developing technology of electric mobility devices.
CHANGES
The rapid advancement of electric bicycles and other motorized mobility devices requires updated definitions of those devices, areas where they are forbidden to operate, and the safe manner in which they must be operated. This ordinance also establishes penalties for administrative citations for both operators and the parents of minor operators. It establishes an educational alternative to fines, and a process for seizure and storage of bicycles, mobility devices , and nonmotorized vehicles when operated without due regard or recklessly.
This Ordinance would prohibit persons under 12 years of age from operating Class 1 and Class 2 e -bikes, pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 21214.7.
