SUBJECT
LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT – FOURTH AMENDMENT TO PUBLIC SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MAKELELE SYSTEMS FOR ZONES 1-38

DEPARTMENT
Development Services

RECOMMENDATION

Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-52, authorizing the Mayor to execute a Public Services Agreement Fourth Amendment with Makelele Systems Landscape & Maintenance, Inc. and the City of Escondido Landscape Maintenance Districts (“LMD”). The LMD is requesting the approval of one (1) year of continuing landscape maintenance service for Fiscal Year 2027 as outlined in the terms of the original agreement in the amount of $282 ,864, and the addition of $100,000 in prior budgeted landscape repairs to address current and deferred landscape maintenance items for the special benefit of parcel owners. The Fourth Amendment requests a total amount of $382,864 to be added to the Makelele Systems Public Service Agreement for Fiscal Year 2027.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Kevin Snyder, Development Services Director, and Joe Goulart Director of Public Works)
Presenter: Jen Conway, Management Analyst II
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, Maintenance of Open Spaces
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Increase Retention and Attraction of People and Businesses to Escondido

FISCAL ANALYSIS

LMD is a benefit assessment district created to fund the maintenance of landscape improvements.

Assessment revenue is collected from property owners in each of the 38 zones via annual property tax paid through the County of San Diego. The funding mechanism consists of a separate fund for each zone, with collected assessments only to be used for that zone with expenses published each fiscal year on the Engineer’s Report.

The Authority and process for a government agency to create and maintain these specific districts are outlined in the ‘Landscape and Light Act of 1972’ which is located in the California Streets and Highways Code, Division 15, from Section 22500-22679.
83 Item9.

There are allowances in the code to carry forward budget surplus and deficits year to year.

BACKGROUND

In lieu of the formation of an HOA, the development owner of the parcels requested annexation into the City’s Landscape Maintenance District s to pay for the ongoing maintenance of the landscaping improvements associated with the City right -of-way and landscape easement areas. These landscape improvements were installed by the de veloper to enhance the appearance and quality of the development. Residents pay an assessment per parcel for the proportionate special benefit received by the LMD providing landscape improvements and maintenance.

Each fiscal year the annual Engineer’s report (which is also the LMD budget ), lists estimated repairs for landscape maintenance such as irrigation repair, plant replacement, fence repair, and ground treatments.

Amendment Three requests a portion of those funds to be placed within the current fiscal year contract to allow work to commence on deferred maintenance items.

The Landscape Maintenance Public Services Agreement Fourth Amendment includes the request for the addition of one year of landscape maintenance service for Fiscal Year 2027 in the amount of $282,864 , and the addition of $100, 000 in landscape maintenance repair costs for Fiscal Year 2027.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Community Services: Joseph Goulart, Director of Public Works) Presenter: Nicole White, Community Services Manager
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – No
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Build Trust and Accountability; Financial Stewardship

FISCAL ANALYSIS
In April 2024, the City was awarded a County of San Diego Aging and Independent Services grant of $77,817 annually, with funding continuing through March 2028, to help offset contract costs to the General Fund.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On April 3, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2024-29, authorizing the Mayor to execute, on behalf of the City, an agreement (County Contract No. 570894) with the County of San Diego for the Older Californians Nutrition Program. This agreement provides transportation services for Escondido seniors to and from Park Avenue Community Center as part of the Senior Nutrition Program.

BACKGROUND
The City has offered the Senior Nutrition and Transportation Program for over 40 years. Escondido seniors, who are faced with food scarcity and economic challenges, find it difficult to make ends meet on a fixed income. The transportation and meal services offered through the Senior Nutrition and Transportation 153
Item10.

Program present a solution for Escondido seniors to access good nutrition and combat isolation in a positive environment. As a result of this service, the senior community can continue t o be an active participant in the City’s economic and civic growth.

In 2022, a Public Services Agreement was executed with Full Access & Coordinated Transportation, Inc., dba Facilitating Access to Coordinated Transportation (“FACT”) to transport seniors to and from the Park Avenue Community Center for nutritional senior meal service . The term of the agreement was for one year, with three additional one-year option periods.

The term of the agreement is ending. A Request for Proposals (“RFP”) was issued by City staff in May 2026.

Two proposals were received. After reviewing the proposal, FACT was determined to be the only responsive bidder and its proposal fulfills the service needs. Therefore, staff is recommending the contract be awarded to FACT.

The cost of the first year of the agreement will be $253,422. This agreement is for three years with two optional one-year renewal periods at a rate not to exceed 5% of the preceding agreement period.

DEPARTMENT
Community Services

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026 -102 authorizing the Fifth Amendment to Public Services Agreement with HumanGood SoCal, dba Redwood Senior Homes and Services in the amount of $68,000 for preparation and delivery of Senior Nutrition Program meals to the Park Avenue Community Center.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Community Services: Joseph Goulart, Director of Public Works) Presenter: Nicole White, Community Services Manager
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – No
COUNCIL PRIORITY –Build Trust and Accountability; Financial Stewardship

FISCAL ANALYSIS
In April 2024, the City was awarded a County of San Diego Aging and Independent Services grant of $215,910.20 annually, with funding continuing through March 2028, to help offset contract costs to the General Fund.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On June 22, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-80 authorizing the Mayor, on behalf of the City, to execute a Public Services Agreement with HumanGood SoCal, dba Redwood Senior Homes and Services for preparation and delivery of Senior Nutrition Program meals to the Park Avenue Community Center.

On April 3, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-29, authorizing the Mayor, on behalf of the City, to execute an agreement (County Contract No. 570894) with t he County of San Diego for the Older Californians Nutrition Program. This agreement provides nutrition services for Escondido seniors to and from Park Avenue Community Center.
167
Item11.

BACKGROUND
The City of Escondido has offered a Senior Nutrition Program for more than 40 years, providing nutritious meals and social engagement opportunities for older adults. Many seniors in the community face food insecurity and financial challenges due to fixed incomes. The program helps address these needs by providing consisten t access to nutritious meals and a welcoming environment that reduces social isolation.

The City recently conducted a Request for Proposals ( “RFP”) to identify a qualified vendor to provide senior meal preparation and delivery services for the next contract term. However, the RFP process did not yield enough responsive and qualified bids to allow staff to make a fully informed recommendation for a long-term award.

To ensure continuity of service while maintaining procurement integrity, staff recommends a short-term extension of the current agreement with HumanGood SoCal, dba Redwood Senior Homes and Services (“Redwood”) through September 30, 2026. Redwood has demonstrated experience and reliability in delivering these services under the existing agreement and can continue operations without disruption.

This extension will provide sufficient time for staff to:
 Research vendors utilized by other municipalities to identify additional qualified providers  Refine the scope of work
 Reissue the RFP to encourage broader and more competitive participation This extension ensures the continued delivery of reliable, high-quality nutrition services and a welcoming environment that supports the health, well -being, and social connection of Escondido’s senior community.
