Councilmember Tonnesen and Vice Mayor Bertani recused themselves from this item and disclosed that they each received a $5,000 campaign donation in the previous 12 months from another cannabis company, The Bright Spot, who had expressed an opinion on this matter. Councilmember Tonnesen and Vice Mayor Bertani left the dias and the Council chamber.

2 there is not sufficient time to go through it before making a decision. Councilmember Carr seconded the motion. Attorney Nicole Phillis, representing Authentic, spoke and objected to a continuance but asked for the date of March 18, 2025, if the matter were continued.

She reported that she and Councilmember Carr attended the 2025 Washington DC Policy Forum for the California Association of Sanitation Agencies February 22-26, as members of the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District, where they met with California Congressman John Garamendi. He informed them that with all of the current funding changes coming from the Executive Branch of the new administration, Fairfield should inform him of any changes affecting the City's funding as soon as possible so he can address them.

Councilmember Tonnesen reported receiving many phone calls about the downtown area which is in his district. He thanked the community for their patience with the parking situation and said the outcome would be positive, with new landscaping, art, and other positive changes.

Councilmember Carr also stated the State of the City event was awesome and that Fairfield is on an excellent trajectory. He reported that when he and Councilmember Williams met with Congressman Garamendi, they also spoke about Fairfield's water situation where the State of California wants to take 50-75% of our water. Garamendi recommended that the council should start a campaign to educate the public and to speak out against this issue. Councilmember Carr said he would be happy to serve on this committee.

Vice Mayor Bertani reported that the next Landscape Oversight Committee meeting is Thursday, March 20, at the Corporation Yard at 420 Gregory Lane at 5 pm. She asked the mayor to agendize adding three at-large seats to the Committee, so it has more representation than each district (6 seats). Mayor Moy said that could be addressed at the April 1, 2025 council meeting. Vice Mayor Bertani shared that she was very proud of the State of the City event which was sold out once again. She reported that the Fairfield Clergy Action Network would hold its first Fresh Food Festival at Anna Kyle Elementary School at 1600 Kidder Avenue on Wednesday, March 26, at 1 pm. She invited the community to the Annual National Day of Prayer event to be held on May 1 at noon in the Council Chamber.

Mayor Moy thanked City staff for their hard work in coordinating the successful State of the City event. She reported she participated in the I Love To Read Day at David Weir

RECOMMENDED ACTION

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 require:
 Annual renewal of any ordinance authorizing the acquisition, funding, or use of military equipment
 Governing body review of the Fairfield Police Department’s (FPD) Annual Military Equipment Report
 A law enforcement agency (LEA) to obtain approval from the applicable governing body prior to the funding, acquisition, or use of “Military Equipment,” as defined by Government Code section 7070

DISCUSSION
Government Code section 7071 requires a law enforcement agency to obtain approval from the applicable governing body via the adoption of a "military equipment" use policy by ordinance, prior to the LEA funding, acquiring, or using military equipment. The ordinance, Chapter 31 of the City of Fairfield Municipal Code; Police Department – Funding, Acquisition, and Use of Military Equipment, was approved by the City Council on April 19, 2022. Renewal of the ordinance is required annually under section 31.1.3.

The council is also required to review and adopt the attached Annual Military Equipment Report and conduct a public hearing prior to adoption of the attached resolution. The report was published on the Police Department website on March 3, 2025. The department hosted a wellpublicized public meeting regarding the annual report on March 25, 2025, providing an opportunity for public feedback and questions. The meeting was advertised via department social media on March 3, 2025, and by publication in a newspaper of general circulation for two consecutive weeks. The military equipment policy has been posted on the department’s website since March 2022. The Police Department seeks council review and approval of the 2024 Annual Military Equipment Report and Military Equipment Use Policy number 711.

Lastly, the Police Department requests the council’s authorization to continue to use the vital equipment specified in Government Code section 7070, to continue to restock inventories based on use, and to acquire new equipment. Items designated as "military equipment" by Government Code section 7070 are used as a component of overall best practices for LEAs throughout the country. These tools have been tested in the field and are used by LEAs to enhance citizen and officer safety. The loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of citizens and peace officers within the department.

The term "military equipment," as used in Government Code section 7070, in fact, does not necessarily indicate that the equipment is equipment the military uses or has used. No items possessed by the Police Department were acquired from the military or through the 1033 program. Pursuant to Government Code section 7070, items deemed to be "military equipment" include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, and flashbangs. The Police Department is committed to using the most up to date tools and equipment to safeguard the citizens of Fairfield.

Many items deemed to be "military equipment" by Government Code section 7070 are employed by the Police Department and LEAs across the country to specifically reduce risk to community members. These items provide police officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations that otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter. To that end, the items at issue in the Annual Military Equipment Report and the accompanying Military Equipment Use Policy provide the Police Department’s peace officers with tools that facilitate compliance with its use of force policy.

Due to advances in available products and technology, the Police Department is requesting additional specialized equipment that will increase officer and community safety through improved or updated equipment, deployment devices, and deployment techniques.

The Police Department’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team, Mobile Field Force (MFF), and Technical Support Team (TST) analyzed the effectiveness of the specialized equipment it uses and noted areas for equipment improvement.

The SWAT Team is a specialized unit within the Police Department that is trained and equipped to handle high-risk situations that go beyond the capabilities of patrol teams. The primary purpose of the SWAT Team is to respond to incidents involving armed and dangerous individuals, hostage situations, barricaded suspects, high-risk arrests, and other incidents where specialized skills and equipment are needed. The SWAT Team operates under established protocols to minimize risk to civilians and ensure the safety of all involved in critical incidents.

The Mobile Field Force is tasked with responding to natural disasters, mass demonstrations, and riot/crowd control incidents locally and within the Office of Emergency Services (OES) Coastal Region area.

The Technical Support Team is another specialized unit within the department that is trained and equipped to provide unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in roles that support missing persons searches, disaster reconnaissance, perimeters for fleeing suspects, and observation and information gathering during critical or tactical incidents.

The Police Department is requesting to acquire, possess, and maintain the following equipment to ensure safety for the community and officers:

1. Royal Arms 12 Gauge Flash Bang Round (100)

2. Hornaday 70 Grain CX Barrier Penetrating Round (200)

3. Accuracy International AT .308 Winchester Sniper Rifle (6)

4. Combined Tactical Systems (CTS) Model 5230 CS Canister Grenade (100)

5. Combined Tactical Systems (CTS) Model 5230B CS Canister, Low Flame (200)

6. Defense Technology Han-Ball, CS Grenade #1092 (12)

7. Defense Technology Han-Ball, Saf-Smoke Grenade #1093 (12)

8. Defense Technology Continuous Discharge Canister, CS #1082 (12)

9. DJI Matrice M30, Drone (4)

12. Skydio X-10 Drone, With Dock, Color and Thermal, 5G LTE capable (5)

13. DJI Matrice 4T, Drone (10)

14. Existing Military Equipment Inventory
The Police Department is also requesting approval to add to and modify the maximum allowable inventories quantities of the equipment listed below, pursuant to Lexipol Policy 711—Military Equipment. The Department may elect not to purchase the maximum allowable quantity based on budget and/or department need.

1. Royal Arms 12 Gauge Flash Bang Round (100)
These Flash Bang rounds are used for diversion, disorientation, and breaching. It is a less-lethal round producing 185 dB that can breach solid wood doors, light steel, glass and can be deployed into crawl spaces. The Police Department requests the authority to purchase up to 100 rounds at $550 per box, with a maximum cost of $550.

2. Hornaday 70 Grain CX Barrier Penetrating Round (200) These rounds improve the capabilities of the SWAT sniper team. The barrier penetrating round allows SWAT snipers to reach targets that are barricaded or concealed behind objects that are unreachable with standard issued ammunition. The Police Department requests authority to purchase up to 200 rounds at $227.10 per case.

3. Accuracy International AT .308 Winchester Sniper Rifle (6) This High-performance sniper rifle is currently utilized by the SWAT sniper team. The Department requests authority to purchase up to two additional rifles to maintain an inventory for repairs or substitutions. Two additional rifles are $5,600 each, with a maximum cost of $11,200.

4. Combined Tactical Systems (CTS) Model 5230 CS Canister Grenade (100) The SWAT Team uses Chlorobenzylidene Malononitrile (CS) gas during high-risk search warrants, barricaded suspect incidents, and hostage situations. Using CS gas is an industry standard within other surrounding agencies in Solano County and in the United States. The purpose of CS gas is to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort, and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects. The Police Department requests authority to purchase up to 100 CTS model 5230 CS Gas Canisters at $41.14 per unit, with a maximum cost of $4,114.

5. Combined Tactical Systems (CTS) Model 5230B CS Canister, Low Flame (200) The SWAT Team uses Chlorobenzylidene Malononitrile (CS) gas during high-risk search warrants, barricaded suspect incidents, and hostage situations. Using CS gas is an industry standard within other surrounding agencies in Solano County and in the United States. The purpose of CS gas is to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort, and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects. The Police Department requests authority to purchase up to 200 CTS model 5320B CS Gas Canisters at $60.56 per unit, with a maximum cost of $12,112.

6. Defense Technology Han-Ball Grenade, CS #1092 (12)
The Mobile Field Force maintains an array of riot control grenades, canisters, and projectiles.

Flexibility is essential when working with large crowds. CS gas, hand-thrown or launched, allow officers to disperse violent crowds, maneuver under concealment, and deny areas to occupation in effort to protect people and property. The Police Department requests authority to purchase up to 12 Defense Technology model 1092 CS Gas Grenades at $53.44 per unit, with a maximum cost of $641.28.

7. Defense Technology Han-Ball Grenade, Saf-Smoke #1093 (12) Also used by the Mobile Field Force, are smoke producing products like the Saf-Smoke grenade.

The white smoke allows teams to move under concealment and the smoke can operate as a carrier for CS gas allowing the effects to last longer in a particular area. The Police Department requests authority to purchase up to 12 Defense Technology model 1093 Saf-Smoke Grenades at $52.44 per unit, with a maximum cost of $629.28.

8. Defense Technology Continuous Discharge Canister, CS #1082 (12) A similar product to the Combined Tactical CS canisters, these continuous discharge CS canisters allow for longer discharge in outdoor areas for up to 40 seconds. This product is ideal for moving larger crowds, denying areas, and concealing officer movements. The Police Department requests authority to purchase up to 12 Defense Technology model 1082 CS Gas Canister at $35.44 per unit, with a maximum cost of $425.28.

9. DJI Matrice M30, Drone (4)
The Police Department is in the process of establishing a Real Time Information Center (RTIC).

Part of the benefit of the RTIC will be the inclusion of drones to conduct Drone as First Responder (DFR) operations. DFR operations in an RTIC allow for rapid response from predesignated areas in the city, allowing officers to gain quick access to real-time information and video of calls for service, critical incidents, and emergencies. To assist with the DFR operations, the Police Department is requesting to purchase up to four DJI M30 UAVs at a cost of $15,225.62 each, with a maximum cost of $60,902.48. The Police Department intends to purchase these drones if the Skydio X-10 drones are not acquired.

10. DJI Avata 1, Drone, Compact, Indoor Capable (1)
This drone is lightweight and compact and ruggedized in comparison to the Avata 2. The TST will deploy this drone in confined spaces to support SWAT and emergency operations when the need arises to enter confined or indoor spaces. The Police Department requests authority to purchase one Avata 1 drone at $1,200 per unit.

11. DJI Avata 2, Drone, Compact, Indoor Capable (6)
Another lightweight and compact drone. An upgrade to the DJI Avata 1 as the Avata 2 allows for sustained time in a "perched" position, meaning extended periods of viewing without overheating, a known problem with the Avata 1. The TST will deploy this drone in confined spaces to support SWAT and patrol-related emergency operations when the need arises to enter confined or indoor spaces. Sending small drones such as the Avata 1 or Avata 2 into interior locations before personnel or K-9 assets reduces the likelihood of injury. The Police Department requests authority to purchase six Avata 2 drones at $1,200 per unit, with a maximum cost of $7,200.

12. Skydio X-10 Drone, With Dock, Color and Thermal, 5G LTE capable (5) The Police Department is in the process of establishing a Real Time Information Center (RTIC).

Part of the benefit of the RTIC will be the inclusion of drones to conduct Drone as First Responder (DFR) operations. DFR operations in an RTIC allow for rapid response from predesignated (Docked) areas in the city, allowing officers to gain quick access to real-time information and video of calls for service, critical incidents, and emergencies. Part of the long-term goal with the RTIC and DFR is to provide real-time live video feeds through a secure browser link to Fire Department staff responding to reports of fires and injury collisions. Additionally, the RTIC information can be broadcast to city leadership during natural disasters.

To assist with the DFR operations, the Police Department requests authority to purchase up to five Skydio X-10 drones and their accompanying docks at approximately $50,000 per unit, for a maximum cost of $250,000. Specific funding sources and authorization are to be determined and approved at the time of purchase.

13. DJI Matrice 4T, Drone (10)
The Matrice 4T is the next generation of our primary patrol drones, allowing for improved Forward-Looking Infrared (thermal), extended flight times, and additional anti-collision technology. Patrol drones are deployed by trained pilots in the field on numerous calls for service, including searching for suspects and missing persons or collecting evidence. These drones also provide accurate time-sensitive information, such as an overwatch drone during SWAT operations, protests, and critical incidents. These drones would be equipped with loudspeakers that can be used to broadcast essential information, including providing evacuation warnings. Additionally, they would be fitted with spotlights to assist during the aforementioned searches. The Police Department is requesting authority to purchase up to ten Mavic 4T drones at $8,600 per unit, with a maximum cost of $86,000.

14. Existing Military Equipment Inventory
The Police Department requests ongoing authorization to replenish and maintain inventories of consumable items such as ammunition, flash bangs, less lethal munitions, and specialty munitions pursuant to the maximum quantities listed in the FPD policy 711, Military Equipment.

These costs will vary as they are determined by use and manufacturer pricing at the time of order.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted for these purchases in the Police Department’s General Fund, excluding Skydio Drone Package (Patrol -10150200; SWAT – 101050205; TST – 10150208; and Training – 10150405) and itemized to each category of military equipment usage. The total maximum cost is $183,509.58 - $280,603.10, plus tax and shipping to be determined at time of purchase based upon quantity ordered.

PREFACE
The Fairfield Police Department retains and utilizes a wide variety of equipment which falls under the definitions outlined in Government Code Section 7070. This equipment is used to assist the Fairfield Police Department in its ultimate mission, which is the preservation of life.

The Fairfield Police Department recognizes critical incidents are unpredictable and dynamic in nature. The retention of this equipment alone also does not warrant its use for every incident.

The equipment listed in this report assists with the safe and efficient resolution of these incidents.

Policy and procedure dictate when the equipment may be deployed in the field, how it may be used, and which members are authorized to use it. However not all situations can be predicted.

The need for the incident commander, on-scene supervisor, or officers to deploy and utilize the equipment in a manner not outlined within policy or procedure may be necessary for the preservation of life in a rapidly evolving incident.

Further, incident commanders, supervisors, and officers can authorize use of equipment for each specific incident based on the totality of the circumstances.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved AB-481 requiring law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a military equipment use policy. The Department is required to seek City Council approval of their military equipment use procedure by ordinance at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined.

The bill allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The ordinance is subject to annual City Council review to determine whether, based on an annual military equipment report, the standards set forth in the approving ordinance have been met. The City Council may renew the authorizing ordinance, disapprove authorization for particular military equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the military equipment use policy to address any non-compliance with standards.

Finally, the bill requires publication of the military equipment use policy and the annual military equipment report on the Department’s website. The military equipment use procedure must be posted on the website at least 30 days prior to the Council meeting.

Military equipment use was recorded by the Fairfield Police Department for this report from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, contemporaneous and in compliance with the timelines associated with Government Code Section 7072 and corresponding City Ordinance Chapter 31.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The adoption of the resolutions will accept the subdivision and landscape improvements for the Monte Verde Subdivision (Subdivision) as complete.

DISCUSSION
Century Communities of California, LLC (Developer) has completed all required improvements at the Subdivision in accordance with the subdivision and landscape improvement agreements approved by the City Council on June 15, 2021, by Resolution Nos. 2021-136 and 2021-137. The Subdivision consists of 124 single-family units on the southeast corner of the Dobe Lane and Peabody Road intersection.

Staff has inspected the subdivision and landscape improvements and found them to be complete in accordance with City standards and the requirements of the subdivision and landscape improvement agreements. The final punch list was completed on March 26, 2025. The proposed resolutions accept the subdivision and landscape improvements as being complete, except for

the obligation of the Developer to repair or reconstruct defective work for a period of one year after final acceptance.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Acceptance of the public improvements by the council will obligate the City to maintain the public improvements, which include public water, sewer, and storm drains within the development, a detention basin in the rear of the development, and the sidewalk along the south side of Dobe Lane. All other on-site improvements within the Subdivision, such as internal roadways, the perimeter soundwall, on-site wetlands, bio-retention ponds, access gates over existing public utilities, and the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon at the Dobe Lane and Lassen Street intersection, shall be privately owned and maintained.

The estimated annual costs for ongoing maintenance of the publicly maintained storm drain detention basin are projected to range between $8,000 and $10,000. These costs will be an ongoing obligation of the General Fund.

The development area was annexed to Community Facilities District No. 2012-2 to provide funding for public safety services, the operation and maintenance of open space areas, and park maintenance.

SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-66 PW Citywide Facilities Master Plan Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with Group 4 Architectural Research + Planning, Inc. for the Development of a Citywide Facilities Master Plan and Authorizing an Update to the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget Funding Source: $410,000; AB 1600 Government Facilities Fund Contact: Ryan Panganiban, (707) 428-7017

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City of Fairfield seeks to develop a comprehensive Citywide Facilities Master Plan (Master Plan) to address the future growth, strategic maintenance, and overall sustainability of its municipal facilities. The last facilities master plan update was completed in 2006, and the City has not undertaken a thorough facilities assessment or created a plan to guide long-term planning and maintenance efforts for its buildings since then. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the city manager to execute a professional services agreement with Group 4 Architecture Research + Planning, Inc. (Consultant) in an amount not to exceed $410,000 for development of the Master Plan and authorize an update to the fiscal year (FY) 2024-2025 budget.

DISCUSSION
The City owns and maintains 28 municipal facilities, including the civic center complex, council chamber, 10 public safety buildings, corporation yard, transportation center and parking structure, and 8 parks and recreation facilities. Addressing future needs has been fragmented, in contrast to developing and implementing a cohesive long-term strategy that considers all city facilities, informed by subject matter experts’ evaluations and projected community growth.

Staff recommend conducting a comprehensive plan to survey the needs of internal and external

stakeholders and identify the space needed to serve the community. The Master Plan will identify short-term and long-term vision and develop options and recommendations with supporting cost estimates to guide future decision making, timelines, and steps forward.

Development Impact Fee
The City has experienced significant residential and commercial development in the last ten years. As the City moves toward build out in 2050, with the adoption of the general plan in December 2024, the Master Plan will inform the citywide AB1600 development impact fee update work underway. The Master Plan will be a strategic tool used to guide decision-making pertaining to renovation and justification for the development of new and needed facilities.

Additionally, as the city’s facilities continue to age, the ability to prepare long-term maintenance needs will become a vital part of preserving city assets, allocating appropriate resources, and ensuring city facilities serve the community for as long as possible.

Consultant selection
On March 21, 2022, staff released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Facilities Master Planning Services, Park and Recreation, Open Space Master Planning Services. Qualified firms were invited to submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) to meet the City’s needs for the two respective master plans.

An evaluation committee consisting of staff from Public Works, Fire, and the City Manager’s departments reviewed the SOQs. A total of five consultant firms submitted SOQs. The evaluation committee unanimously selected the Consultant as the top proposer for the Master Plan. The Consultant has recently completed similar master planning work for the cities of Elk Grove, East Palo Alto, and Newark. Among other professional experiences, the Consultant demonstrated their commitment to expansive and direct outreach, which is an important component in developing the master plan.

Staff negotiated a scope of work and fee with the Consultant for a not-to-exceed cost of $410,000. The Consultant’s tasks include existing conditions, future space assessment, alternative facilities options, cost estimate, and implementation plan. They anticipate the work to take approximately one year to complete.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The professional service agreement with the Consultant will authorize a contract for an amount not to exceed $410,000. Total authorization for this project would be $451,000 ($410,000 + 10% management reserve). The preparation of the Master Plan was not budgeted in the adopted FY 2024-2025 budget and will require a total budget adjustment of $451,000 from AB 1600 Government Facilities (Fund 262) to the Public Building Capital Project Fund (Fund 254, CPW010109). Finance has confirmed that adequate reserves exist and that no projects will be jeopardized by this additional expenditure.

SCOPE OF SERVICE
I. THE PROJECT
The City of Fairfield, with its approximately 115,000 residents, is seeking to evaluate its 28 current municipal facilities including but not limited to Civic Center/City Hall and Council Chambers; 10 fire and police facilities; corporation yard; Fairfield-Vacaville Hannigan Train Station, Fairfield Transportation Center, parking structure and Red Top Road building; Cordelia Library; Paradise Valley Golf Course, Rancho-Solano Golf Course and 8 other parks and recreation facilities and the housing division office.

More than 100 employees representing 10 departments currently work in these facilities.

As Fairfield moves toward building out in 2050, City programs continue to evolve and expand. Technology has advanced greatly, and a pandemic has shifted our conventional way of providing services and programs – introducing many new opportunities for program styles, applications, communication, and collaboration. Today, the City seeks to develop a Facilities Master Plan to assess facility needs and condition; calculate growth and program demands; analyze gaps and develop an associated action plan; and develop options and recommendation with supporting cost estimates to guide future decision making, timelines and steps forward. All in all, this effort will improve program and service efficiencies, workflow, and facility modernization to position the City for future years of effective municipal administration.

The successful delivery of a collaboratively developed Facilities Master Plan for Fairfield will position the city to move future capital improvement projects into design and then construction. This initial phase will be a critical determinant for the ultimate short-term, mid-term and long-term vision; and these elements must be designed with a clear financial plan and funding strategies; deliver on the City’s ambitions, and leverage opportunities uncovered in the planning process.

II. SCOPE OF BASIC SERVICES

1. General:

1.A The intent of the Consultant’s Basic Services is to develop a Facilities Master Plan for its current 28 city-owned facilities. The city recently completed a parks, recreation and open space masterplan and the findings from that effort will be integrated into this masterplan.

1.B Consultant’s Basic Services include the services of subconsultants, including Bureau Veritas, Ten Over Studio, Aquatic Design Group and TBD Consultants.

1.C In selecting the Consultant, the Client recognizes that the Consultant has the qualifications to provide full planning, architecture, and interior design services including conceptual design, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, construction administration, and post-construction phase services. The Client, at its discretion, may choose to amend this contract to add services to the Consultant’s Scope of Services for Additional Compensation if mutually agreed to by the Client and Consultant.

1.D The Consultant’s assumption is that the project will be constructed through a conventional public design-bid-build delivery method. Basic and Optional Services assume the construction work will be developed as a single bid package to be constructed in a single phase.

DATE: May 6, 2025
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-67 PW Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Smith Ranch Assessment District Notice of Intent
Granting Preliminary Approval of the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Engineer’s Report, Declaring Intention to Order the Levy and Collection of Assessments, and Providing Notice of a Public Hearing Thereon for the Smith Ranch Assessment District Funding Source: $4,805; Smith Ranch Assessment District Fund Contact: Chris Lewis, (707) 428-7089

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing and adopt resolution.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The adoption of this resolution will grant preliminary approval of the fiscal year (FY) 2025-2026 engineer’s report, declare the City Council’s intention to order the levy and collection of assessments, and set the date and provide for notice for a public hearing for the Smith Ranch Assessment District (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 collection of annual assessments to fund the ongoing maintenance or repair of the improvements and open space within the District.

The engineer’s report contains a complete description of the lots and parcels of land within the boundaries of the District, an estimate of maintenance and repair costs during the next fiscal year, and the assessment levies upon lots and parcels of land.

The FY 2025-2026 levy for the District is proposed to remain at the FY 2024-2025 levy of $325 per parcel, which does not exceed the District’s adopted assessment range maximum of $395 per parcel established in 1996.

The total proposed FY 2025-2026 revenue for the District is $468,833, which includes assessments of $389,925 and interest of $78,908. The total proposed FY 2025-2026 expenditure for the District is $4,804,620, which includes project costs of $4,800,000 and administrative costs of $4,620.

Funding for maintenance projects in the District requires the accrual of assessments over time.

Since the formation of the District, several major maintenance projects have been completed. As part of the City’s FY 2023-2024 to FY 2027-2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the District will fund the 2025 Rancho Solano Pavement Maintenance Project ($2,400,000 by the end of FY 2024- 2025) and the 2026 Rancho Solano Pavement Maintenance Project ($300,000 by the end of FY 2024-2025 and $4,800,000 in FY 2025-2026). Both projects consist of pavement grinding, crack sealing, adjusting manholes/valves/monuments to grade, and application of an asphalt rubber cape seal, slurry seal, asphalt overlay, and pavement rehabilitation on various streets throughout the Rancho Solano community.

The adoption of this resolution will grant preliminary approval of the FY 2025-2026 Engineer’s Report, declare the council’s intention to order the levy and collection of assessments, and set the date and provide for notice for a public hearing, which is scheduled for June 17, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total proposed expenditure for the District is $4,804,620, which will be paid from the Smith Ranch Assessment District Fund 178.
