The resolution authorizes the city clerk to publish a notice of the election with the seats to be filled and a later notice which contains a list of the candidates in the order in which they will appear on the ballot. The resolution also authorizes the Registrar of Voters to render the following election services:
• Precinct consolidation, establishment of polling places, retention of election officers, and preparation/mailing of notices of appointment;
• Printing of sample ballots and envelopes, ballot measures, polling place cards, ballot arguments, and mailing of the same to registered voters;
• Printing of official ballots;
• Purchasing of precinct and absentee voter supplies;
• Provisions for absentee voting at the Registrar of Voters, Elections Division; • Cartage of voting booths, ballots, ballot boxes, and precinct supplies to and from precincts; • Supervision and conduct of the election;

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City reimburses Solano County in full for the services provided by the Registrar of Voters to administer the election. This year, the cost of the election has been estimated at $5 per registered voter. The City of Fairfield currently has 65,342 registered voters. Using the $5 per registered voter figure received from the Solano County Registrar of Voters, equals $326,710; and an additional $0.50 for each ballot measure ($65,342 x $.10 = $65,342), this year’s election will cost approximately $392,052. Election costs are paid from the City’s General Fund.

SUBJECT:Resolution 2024147 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing City Sponsorship of a USA Pickleball Sanctioned Tournament at Allan Witt Park September 58, 2024, and Discussion and Direction on Improvements to the Fencing Surrounding the Courts
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
USA Pickleball, in partnership with the Fairfield Pickleball Club, requests city sponsorship of a special event for the purpose of hosting a pickleball tournament at Allan Witt Park September 48, 2024.
Fairfield Municipal Code (FMC) Chapter 12A, Section 4, allows City Council, by Resolution, to sponsor special events and waive any applicable fees.
DISCUSSION
USA Pickleball, a nonprofit 501c3 corporation, is the national governing body of the sport of pickleball in the United States. They organize sanctioned events around the country and have chosen Fairfield for a tournament in September, in partnership with the Fairfield Pickleball Club. The event will be held at Allan Witt Park September 48, 2024.
The tournament will be held at the pickleball courts in Allan Witt Park, as well as on the adjacent basketball court blacktop, and will utilize the sports complex for vendors. The fourday tournament is expected to have more than 150 pickleball players daily, with 400500 attendees estimated. This categorizes the tournament as a Major Special Event, thereby necessitating the requirements of a special event permit pursuant to FMC Chapter 12A.
Facility Improvements
To facilitate the best conditions for the tournament, the Fairfield Pickleball Club (Club) is also requesting consideration for improvements to the pickleball courts. Wind is a major factor impacting pickleball play because of the plastic ball used. Currently, the pickleball courts are surrounded by chainlink fencing with one layer of windblocking mesh material.

Wind is a major factor impacting pickleball play because of the plastic ball used. Currently, the pickleball courts are surrounded by chainlink fencing with one layer of windblocking mesh material. Upon a previous request from the Club, a fencing company was consulted to determine if a doubledup wind block could be installed (i.e. one on the top and one on the bottom for full coverage of the fencing). It was determined that the current fence posts were unlikely to bear the forces of strong winds with a double mesh setup.
The Club is again requesting that double mesh be set up around the entirety of the courts to create the best environment for the tournament, and beyond. To accommodate the request, the Club received an informal proposal to shore up the fencing by installing new secondary posts along the outside of the fencing. Behind every other post, a new post would be set by cutting an eightinch by eightinch square into the concrete, boring a sixinch hole three feet deep, and anchoring a new heavyduty post into the ground. The new posts would then be welded to the existing fence posts to provide additional lateral support to withstand wind forces.
The fence company advising the Club recommended reinforcing 74 posts in total. The Club is offering to pay for the project through fundraising efforts. Given the short timeline for completing the project, staff seeks Council direction.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total costs for City sponsorship of the event is estimated at $17,753. This is not a direct cost to the City, rather a waiver of the Special Event Permit fees of $683 and Allan Witt Park rental fees of $17,070.
Facility Improvement
The estimated cost of the fencing improvements provided by Fairfield Pickleball Club is approximately $60,000. This includes a price of $750 per new post along with additional mesh materials. The Club has offered to pay for the project through fundraising efforts.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing and adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The adoption of the proposed resolution will approve the fiscal year (FY) 20242025 Engineer’s Report and provide for the levy and collection of assessments within the Smith Ranch Assessment District (District) for the maintenance of streets, storm drainage, and other infrastructure within the District.
DISCUSSION
The City formed the District in 1986. In addition to providing funding for some of the initial infrastructure improvements for the Rancho Solano subdivision, the District also provides for the levy and collection of annual assessments to fund the ongoing maintenance or repair of the improvements and open space within the District.
The funding for maintenance projects in the District requires the accrual of funds over time. Since the formation of the District, several major maintenance projects have been completed.
On May 7, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 202489 granting preliminary approval of the FY 20242025 Engineer’s Report, declaring intention to order the levy and collection of assessments, and providing notice of a public hearing for the District. The public hearing was set for June 18, 2024, where all interested persons would be given an opportunity to hear and be heard regarding protests and objections to the levy and collection of the proposed assessments against lots or parcels of real property within the District for FY 20242025. A notice of the public hearing was published on June 2, 2024, and June 9, 2024, in accordance with Government Code 6066.

The public hearings were set for June 18, 2024, where all interested persons would be given an opportunity to hear and be heard regarding protests and objections to the levy and collection of the proposed assessments against lots or parcels of real property within the districts for FY 20242025. A notice of the public hearing was published on June 2, 2024, at least 10 days prior to the hearing.
All proposed annual assessment amounts for each LLMD are subject to the provisions of Proposition 218 and are set at or below (1) the assessment amount or range adopted at the time the district was formed, (2) the assessment amount or range adopted after the district was formed, but prior to the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, or (3) the assessment amount or range adopted in accordance with Proposition 218 proceedings, including applicable Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments.
The following summaries describe the proposed FY 20242025 annual assessments and any proposed rate adjustments for each district.
LLMD No. 1 – Gateway:Landscaping and lighting maintenance services in the Gateway area were provided by LLMD No. 1 – Gateway from 1984 through June 30, 2023. Due to the increased cost of services over time and the fixed maximum assessment rates, the revenue collected under this district was no longer sufficient to adequately fund the required services.
In FY 20222023, the council adopted Resolution No. 2022210 authorizing a $165,000 loan from the Intergovernmental Loan Fund to the district to minimize the disruption of services while a community engagement and Proposition 218 balloting process was carried out to form a replacement district with higher assessment rates. The loan is repayable over five years in equal annual installments beginning in FY 20232024 and does not bear interest.
In June 2023, in the absence of a majority protest, the council formed LLMD No. 20231 (Gateway) to replace LLMD No. 1 – Gateway, beginning July 1, 2023. The City will continue to collect assessments under LLMD No. 1 – Gateway and utilize the district’s available fund balance to pay the annual loan installments through FY 20272028. The council may consider the dissolution of this district in FY 2028 2029.
The FY 20242025 assessments for the Gateway district are proposed to decrease approximately 58% from the FY 20232024 rates. Assessment rates for each parcel vary depending on parcel size and are below the maximum allowable rate for each parcel established in 1995.
The budget for this district includes the second annual loan payment and applicable administrative costs. The total proposed revenue is $14,500, which includes assessments of $14,000 and interest of $500. There will be no operations or maintenance services provided under this district.
Based on the fiveyear budget projections included in the Engineer’s Report, the Gateway district will have sufficient revenue and cash balance to cover all necessary expenditures and loan payments through FY 20282029.
LMD No. 3 – Waterman Highlands:Landscaping maintenance services in the Waterman area have been provided by LMD No. 3 – Waterman Highlands since 1986. Due to the increased cost of services over time and the fixed maximum assessment rates, the revenue collected under this district was no longer sufficient to adequately fund the required services.
In FY 20222023, the council adopted Resolution No. 2022211 authorizing a $28,000 loan from the Intergovernmental Loan Fund to the district to minimize the disruption of services while a community engagement and Proposition 218 balloting process was carried out to form a replacement district with higher assessment rates. The loan is repayable over five years in equal annual installments beginning in FY 20232024 and does not bear interest.

A notice of the public hearing waspublished on June 2, 2024, at least 10 days prior to the hearing.All proposed annual assessment amounts for each LLMD are subject to the provisions of Proposition218 and are set at or below (1) the assessment amount or range adopted at the time the district wasformed, (2) the assessment amount or range adopted after the district was formed, but prior to thepassage of Proposition 218 in 1996, or (3) the assessment amount or range adopted in accordancewith Proposition 218 proceedings, including applicable Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments. The following summaries describe the proposed FY 20242025 annual assessments and any proposedrate adjustments for each district.LLMD No. 1 – Gateway:Landscaping and lighting maintenance services in the Gateway area wereprovided by LLMD No. 1 – Gateway from 1984 through June 30, 2023. Due to the increased cost ofservices over time and the fixed maximum assessment rates, the revenue collected under this districtwas no longer sufficient to adequately fund the required services. In FY 20222023, the council adopted Resolution No. 2022210 authorizing a $165,000 loan from theIntergovernmental Loan Fund to the district to minimize the disruption of services while a communityengagement and Proposition 218 balloting process was carried out to form a replacement district withhigher assessment rates. The loan is repayable over five years in equal annual installments beginning inFY 20232024 and does not bear interest. In June 2023, in the absence of a majority protest, the council formed LLMD No. 20231 (Gateway) toreplace LLMD No. 1 – Gateway, beginning July 1, 2023. The City will continue to collect assessmentsunder LLMD No. 1 – Gateway and utilize the district’s available fund balance to pay the annual loaninstallments through FY 20272028. The council may consider the dissolution of this district in FY 20282029. The FY 20242025 assessments for the Gateway district are proposed to decrease approximately 58%from the FY 20232024 rates.
