Agenda Item No: L.1
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: April 7, 2026
TO: Fairfield Housing Chair and Commissioners
FROM: David Gassaway, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Resolution HA2026 -02 HD Fairfield Housing Authority's Public Housing Agency Annual Plan
Approving the Fairfield Housing Authority's Public Housing Agency Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Tanya Tran, (707) 428-7391
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold Public Hearing and adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the Fairfield Housing Authority (FHA) to prepare and submit a Public Housing Agency (PHA) Annual Plan to receive continued federal funding for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program. HUD requir es a minimum of one public hearing to approve any PHA Annual Plan.
DISCUSSION
The PHA Plan is a comprehensive guide to a PHA's policies, programs, operations, and strategies for meeting local housing needs and goals. It informs HUD, residents, and the public of the PHA's mission for serving the needs of low-income and very low-income families and the PHA's strategy for addressing those needs. There are two parts to the PHA Plan. The first part is the 5-Year Plan.
This Plan describes the agency's missio n, goals, and objectives and is submitted to HUD once every fifth fiscal year. The second part is the Annual Plan, which is submitted to HUD every year and covers the policies and procedures of the agency. The PHA's current 5 -Year Plan expires in 2026.
With over 900 vouchers authorized, the HCV Program is one of the City of Fairfield's most impactful programs to address homelessness. Participating landlords receive direct rental
voucher subsidies in exchange for decent, safe, and stable housing for voucher recipients. Units assisted by these vouchers are determined primarily by the participant's family, consistent with fair housing laws. The FHA has a policy to encourage participant families to search for housing outside high-poverty or minority concentration areas. The FHA does not own or operate public housing units; therefore, participant families must rent directly from private landlords. Assisted units must always meet essential health and safety requirements called Housing Quality Standards (HQS).
The Annual PHA Plan document is a template created and required by HUD. Because every PHA must use the same template, many sections do not apply to the FHA because it does not own or administer public housing units. Some updates that do apply to FHA, incl ude but are not limited to, the designation as a High Performer on HUD's Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP), continuing collaboration with Fair Housing of Northern California (FHNC) to provide Fair Housing training for both housing providers and housing staff, and adding 50 Project- Based Voucher (PBV) units to house homeless, at risk of homelessness, and low-income families and veterans. All goals in the FHA 5-year and Annual Plans are in line with the components of the City's Housing Element.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Submission and approval of the FHA Annual Plan is the basis for receiving over $10,000,000 of federal funds from HUD to FHA (Fund 21).
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
The Notice for the FHA Annual Plan was advertised in t he Daily Republic on February 18, 2026, and made available in the following locations for 45 days:
Fairfield Housing Authority, 1525 Webster St., Suite A, Fairfield, CA 94533 Fairfield Housing Services, 1525 Webster St., Suite B, Fairfield, CA 94533 Fairfield Civic Center Library, 1150 Kentucky Street
Fairfield City Clerk's Office, 1000 Webster Street, 4th Floor
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
If the Chair and Commissioners choose not to move forward with this item, the longevity of the HCV program could be jeopardized and risk critical rental assistance subsidies to many vulnerable people in Fairfield.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: April 7, 2026
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 2026 -43 PW Waterman WTP High Lift Pump and Power Upgrades Approve Construction Management Addendum
Authorizing the City Manager to Amend the Professional Services Agreement Between the City of Fairfield and Kennedy Jenks Consultants for the Solar Array and Waterman Water Treatment Plant High Lift Pump and Power Upgrades
Funding Source: $455,633; Water Capital Projects Fund
Contact: Michael Hether, (707) 428-7493
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Waterman Water Treatment Plant (Waterman WTP) is one of two water treatment facilities serving the City of Fairfield. The proposed amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) alters the original scope from part-time to full-time daily and special inspection services for the Waterman WTP Solar Arrays and High Lift Pump and Power Project (Project; CPW090041).
DISCUSSION
On November 19, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-265 Awarding a Contract with C. Overaa & Co. for the Project. The Project is currently in progress and involves enhancements to City infrastructure that are essential for the ong oing operation of the Waterman WTP . These improvements include mechanical, electrical, and structural improvements, such as replacing the existing five turbine pumps, incorporating a backup generator to ensure continuous plant operations, and installing a new pre-purchased electrical main switchboard with solar breaker for future solar interconnection. Additionally, specialized inspections are required for the electrical and structural components to ensure compliance with applicable building and electrical permit standards.
On June 3, 2025, the council adopted Resolution No. 2025-79 authorizing the city manager to execute a PSA with Kennedy Jenks Consultants (Kennedy Jenks) for part time construction inspection services for the Project in the amount of $303,786. On June 26, 2025, the City assigned inspector retired leaving no alternative but to increase all required inspections to full-time which are now being performed by Kennedy Jenks. Kennedy Jenks has provided the City with an addendum to the original agreement to cover the additional costs of full -time inspection and special inspections.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The addendum to the PSA with Kennedy Jenks will authorize the city manager to increase the contract amount to $138,042, bringing the total authorized amount for this agreement to $455,632.10. This total includes the amended proposed fee of $414,211 and a 10% management reserve of $41,421.10. Funding for this agreement is allocated under the Water Enterprise Fund (Fund 462).

Further, Client waives any claim against Consultant in any way related to such services, and agrees to indemnify, d efend, and hold Consultant harmless from any loss, claim, or damage arising out of or in any way related to the performance of such services by other parties, including, but not limited to claims related to the interpretation, modification, or clarification of the Contract Documents due to changed field or other conditions, except for claims caused by the sole negligence of Consultant.
If Consultant’s SCOPE OF SERVICES includes observation and/or testing during the course of construction the following provisions apply:
6.1. Construction Observation.
6.1.1. Site Meetings & Visits. Consultant will participate in job site meetings as requested by Client, and, unless otherwise requested by Client, visit the site at times specified in the SCOPE OF SERVICES or, if not specified in the S COPE OF SERVICES, at intervals as Consultant deems appropriate to the various stages of construction to observe the geotechnical conditions encountered by Contractor and the progress and quality of the geotechnical aspects of the Work. Based on information obtained during such visits and on such observations, Consultant may inform Client of the progress of the geotechnical aspects of the Work. Client understands that Consultant may not be on site continuously; and, unless expressly agreed otherwise, Consultant will not observe all of the Work.
6.1.2. Contractor’s Performance. Consultant does not, and cannot, warrant or guarantee that all of the geotechnical Work performed by Contractor meets the requirements of Consultant’s geotechnical recommendations or the plans and specifications for such geotechnical Work; nor can Consultant be responsible for Contractor’s failure to perform the Work in accordance with the plans, specifications, or the recommendations of Consultant. Consultant shall not be responsible for the acts, errors, or omissions of the Contractor, Owner, Client, other consultants, or any other persons or entities performing work on the project, except those under the direct control of Consultant.
6.1.3. Contractor’s Responsibilities. Consultant will not supervise, direct, or have control over the Work nor will Consultant have authority over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected by Contractor for the ge otechnical aspects of the Project; for safety precautions and programs incident to the Work; nor for any failure of Contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor furnishing and performing its Work.
6.1.4. Final Report. At the conclusion of Construction Phase Services, Consultant will provide Client with a written report summarizing the tests and observations, if any, made by Consultant, if requested by the client.
6.2. Review of Contractor’s Submittals. If included in the S COPE OF WORK, Consultant will review and take appropriate action on the Contractor’s submittals, such as shop drawings, product data, samples, and other required submittals. Consultant will review such submitta ls solely for general conformance with Consultant’s design, and will not include review for the following, all of which will remain the responsibility of the Contractor: accuracy or completeness of details, quantities or dimensions; construction means, methods, sequences, or procedures; coordination among trades; or construction safety.
6.3. Tests. Tests performed by Consultant on finished Work or Work in progress are taken intermittently and indicate the general acceptab ility of the Work on a statistical basis. Consultant’s tests and observations of the Work are not a guarantee of the quality of Wor k and do not relieve other parties from their responsibility to perform their Work in accordance with applicable plans, specifications, and requirements.
7. CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITIES
In addition to payment for the Services performed under this Agreement, Client agrees to:
7.1. Cooperation. Assist and cooperate with Consultant in any manner necessary and within its ability to facilitate Consultant’s performance under this Agreement.

Consultant will operate with reasonable care to minimize damage to the Project Site(s). However, Client recognizes that Consultant’s operations and the use of investigative equipment may unavoidably alter conditions or affect the environmen t at the existing Project Site(s). The cost of repairing such damage will be borne by Client and is not included in the fee unless otherwise stated.
7.4. Relevant Information. Supply Consultant with all information and documents in Client’s possession or knowledge which are relevant to Consultant’s Services. Client warrants the accuracy of any information supplied by it to Consultant, and acknowledges that Consultant is e ntitled to rely upon such information without verifying its accuracy.

7.5. Subsurface Structures. Correctly designate on plans to be furnished to Consultant, the location of all subsurface structures, such as pipes, tanks, cables, and utilities within the property lines of the Project Site(s), and be responsible for any damage inadvertently cause d by C onsultant to any such structure or utility not so designated. Consultant is not liable to Client for any losses, damages or claims arising from dam age to subterranean structures or utilities that were not correctly shown on plans furnished by Client to Consultant.
8. UNANTICIPATED AND CHANGED CONDITIONS
Actual subsurface conditions may vary from those encountered in the specific locations where Consultant conducts its explorations. Consultant can only base its site data, interpretations, and recommendations on information reasonably available to it. Pra ctical limitations on available data will result in some level of uncertainty, and therefore risk, with respect to the interpretation of environmental, geological, and geotechni cal conditions even when Consultant follows the standard of care. If Consultant discovers conditions or circumstances that it had not contemplated at the commencement of this Agreement (“Changed Conditions”), Consultant will notify Client in writing of the Changed Conditions. Client and Consultant a gree that they will then renegotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Consultant and Client cannot agree upon amended terms and cond itions within 30 days after notice, Consultant may terminate this Agreement and be compensated as set forth in Section 18, “Termination.” Underground utilities and other structures that are not properly located on plans and specifications provided to Consultant will be considered a Changed Condition under this clause.

Authorizing an Update to the Fiscal Year 2025 -2026 Parks Capital Projects and Streets Capital Projects Budgets for Professional Engineering and Project Management Services
Funding Source: $75,000; AB 1600 Fund
Contact: Ryan Panganiban, (707) 428-7017
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Public Works Department is requesting an update to the fiscal year (FY) 2025 -2026 Parks Capital Projects and Streets Capital Projects budgets, increasing appropriations by $ 75,000 to cover the cost of professional engineering and project management services from Ponticello Enterprises Consulting Engineers Inc. (Ponticello).
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Department , Engineering Division (Division) provides project management, traffic engineering, inspections services, construction administration, utility coordination, and capital improvement program (CIP) delivery services, including the planning, design, and implementation of roadway, park, and infrastructure improvements throu ghout the city. The Department also supports development review, prepares technical specifications and standards, administers assessment districts, and coordinates with regional agencies, utility providers, and developers to deliver critical infrastructure projects.
Due to the current volume and complexity of active capital improvement projects and development-related assignments, the Division requires additional support to maintain project schedules and meet regulatory and operational deadlines. Existing staff resources are currently
fully allocated to high -priority CIP projects, development review activities, and ongoing operational responsibilities.
Compounding this challenge, the Division is currently experiencing vacancies in two critical positions that have remained unfilled since fall 2025. Despite ongoing recruitment efforts, the Division has faced persistent difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified candidates due to the highly competitive labor market for experienced engineering profession als, particularly those with expertise in municipal project delivery and construction management. As a result, these vacancies have significantly reduced the Division’s operational capacity and have required the redistribution of workload among existing st aff, further constraining the ability to take on additional assignments.
As a result, staff does not have the capacity to absorb additional specialized assignments that have emerged or expanded beyond the scope of the adopted FY 2025 -2026 budget, including time impact analysis related to construction contract delays and evaluation of potential contractor claims, preparation and finalization of technical specifications (such as micro trenching and broadband standards), assessment district fund admin istration, and coordination of utility, water treatment, and pavement rehabilitation projects. To address these needs and maintain project delivery, the Division wishes to retain the services of Ponticello to provide professional engineering and project management support.
Ponticello was established in 1998 and specializes in providing services for public entities including a wide range of municipal engineering, project management, construction management, and development services. Ponticello has provided services for the City since approximately 2020 and has partnered with the Public Works Department on various projects such as the support on citywide pavement, park capital, and utility improvement projects.
Public Works is requesting an update to the FY 2025-2026 Parks Capital Projects and Streets Capital Projects budgets , increasing appropriations by $ 37,500 in each fund ($ 75,000 total), which will be financed using available AB 1600 funds, to cover the cost of professional engineering and project management services from Ponticello.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total authorization is for a one -time budget adjustment of $ 37,500 from AB 1600 – Parks (Fund 263) increasing appropriations in the FY 2025 -2026 Parks Capital Projects budget (Fund 251) and a one-time budget adjustment of $37,500 from AB 1600 – Streets (Fund 261) increasing appropriations in the FY 2025-2026 Streets Capital Projects budget (Fund 252).

SUBJECT: Resolution 202 6-45 PW Cost Sharing Agreement for Green Valley Road Overcrossing Amendment No. 2
Authorizing the City Manager to Approve and Execute Amendment No. 2 to the Cost Sharing Agreement for the Green Valley Road Overcrossing with the Solano Transportation Authority
Funding Source: $2,088,774; AB1600 Streets Fund
Contact: Ryan Panganiban, (707) 428-7017
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The attached resolution approves the second amendment to the cost share agreement with the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) for construction of the Green Valley Road Overcrossing Project (Project). The proposed amendment extends the maintains the term through September 15, 2029, and adjusts the minimum annual payment amount from $500,000 to $522,193 to ensure the Project can complete repayment by the end of the term.
DISCUSSION
On August 19, 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-190 approving a Cost Sharing Agreement (Agreement) between the STA for the Project . This Agreement is in part with STA’s I80/680/12 Interchange Project (Project) to improve and widen major fr eeway connections, including the construction of the Green Valley Road Interchange. Portions of the Green Valley Road Interchange were completed in 2018 as part of the first phase of the Project, with additional improvements planned in future phases.
Under the Agreement, the City is responsible for contributing a total of $10.4 million toward the Project, payable to STA in annual installments of $1,040,000 over a ten -year period. The Agreement also includes a provision that limits the City’s annual pay ment to no more than 25%
of the AB1600 Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Program funds collected during the preceding 12-month period.
In June 2022, STA approached the City to propose establishing a guaranteed minimum annual payment. On August 18, 2020, the counci l adopted Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement by Resolution No. 2020-169. This Amendment established a minimum annual payment amount of $500,000 or 25% of the TIF revenue received in the preceding 12 months.
Throughout the term of the Agreement, the City h as collected less AB1600 TIF revenue than originally anticipated. This shortfall is largely attributable to several factors, including the use of fee credits and reimbursements where developers have constructed backbone infrastructure in lieu of paying cas h fees, thereby reducing actual revenue received by the city. In addition, reduced building permit activity, driven by market conditions and project phasing, has also slowed the pace of fee generation.
To date, the City has paid $8,311,226 toward its obli gation, with annual payments ranging from $515,427 to $1,196,397. The remaining balance is $2,088 ,774, with the next payment of $522,193 due later in fiscal year (FY) 2025–2026.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City has been providing an annual payment to STA since the execution of the Agreement. In 2020, the amount was adjusted to a minimum annual payment of $500,000. Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 2, the minimum annual payment will be set at $522,193 beginning FY 2025-2026 through FY 2028-2029. Funding for this Project has been allocated from the AB1600 Streets Fund (Fund 261).

2nd Amendment to STA - FF- MOU- Green Valley Overcrossing Cost Sharing 10.16.2025 Second Amendment to Cost Sharing Agreement
Green Valley Road Overcrossing
This Second Amendment to Cost Sharing Agreement (“Second Amendment”) is entered into this __the day of ____________, 2026 by and between the City of Fairfield, a California municipal corporation (“City”) and Solano Transportation Authority, a California joint powers authority (“STA”).
RECITALS
A. The Parties entered into a Cost Sharing Agreement (“Agreement”) on September 10, 2014 to establish, amongst other things, a repayment schedule for the City’s $10.4 Million share of the Green Valley Interchange Project.
B. STA identified a need for these funds and requested a guaranteed minimum annual payment amount, and the Parties amended the Agreement on August 19, 2020 (“First Amendment”) to reflect these changes.

FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 2026 -46 PW Awarding Construction Contract for Midtown Sewer Replacement Project (Phase 1)
Approving the Plans and Specifications and Awarding a Contract to Ghilotti Construction Company for the Midtown Sewer Replacement Project – Phase 1 (Gateway Boulevard, Gateway Court, Lincoln Street, Grant Street, Grant Court)
Funding Source: $1,669,432; Sewer Capital Fund
Contact: Pavan Prasad, (707) 428-7431
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City's sewer infrastructure within the area bounded by Gateway Boulevard to the north, West Texas Street to the south, North Texas Street to the east, and Beck Avenue/Interstate 80 to the west (Midtown Area) is approaching the end of its operational lifespan. Maintaining system reliability under these conditions requires the implementation of a robust maintenance program consisting of routine flushing, cleaning, and monitoring of sewer mains and service laterals by Public Works Operations staff . This level of ongoing maintenance is resource intensive and increasingly inefficient given the age and condition of the existing infrastructure. Therefore, replacement of the sewer infrastructure is considered the more cost-effective long-term solution to significantly reduce the risk of sanitary sewer overflows . The proposed resolution authorizes the approval of plans, specifications and awards a construction contract to Ghilotti Construction Company for the Midtown Sewer Replacement Project – Phase 1 (Project; CPW060102).
DISCUSSION
The sanitary sewer system in the Midtown Area was initially constructed to support the residential development of the Fairfield Terrace, Brandan Estates, Fernwood Gardens, and Fairview Addition subdivisions. In 2016, the City completed a Preliminary Design Report (PDR)
and Condition Assessment Analysis to evaluate and plan the rehabilitation of aging sewer collection system infrastructure in the Midtown Area. The existing sanitary sewer main in this area primarily consists of vitrified clay pipe (VCP), 4 -inches to 10 -inches in diameter, that does not meet current City standards. As a result, this area requires constant attention from Public Works Operations staff to maintain operational reliability due to structural defects in the pipeline such as cracks, fractures, offset pipeline, sags, and deformed/ collapsed pipes. Pipeline replacement is recommended as the cost -effective long-term solution for rehabilitation based on the severity of the defects identified and quantity of pipeline requiring frequent maintenance.
Two projects were subsequently constructed in 2017 and 2018 to initiate the rehabilitation of sewer collection system infrastructure in the Midtown Area.
In 2022, the City of Fairfield, in partnership with the Fairfield -Suisun Sewer District (FSSD), completed a Collection System Asset Management Plan (AMP) to comprehensively assess the condition of the sewer collection system and identify cost -effective strategies for maintaining long-term service reliability.
Building on this effort, the City completed a Five -Year Sewer Replacement Plan in 2024, which incorporates updated AMP data and input from Public Works Operations staff. The plan establishes a two -phase implementation strategy over five years to address remaining deficiencies within the Midtown sewer collection system.
Phase 1 includes improvements along Gateway Boulevard, Gateway Court, Lincoln Street, Grant Street, and Grant Court. Phase 2, anticipated for construction in winter 2027, will address remaining areas including Pierce Street, Second Street, Hayes Street, Carpenter Street, Colorado Street, Clay Street, and Arizona Street.
The project includes the replacement of approximately 2,200 linear feet of sewer mainline, associated service laterals, and installation of City-standard cleanouts where none currently exist, improving system access and enhancing the City’s ability to respond to future maintenance needs.
Bids for the Project were received from 16 contractors and were opened on February 17, 2026.
The apparent low bidder was Ghilotti Construction Company (Ghilotti Construction) of Santa Rosa, California in the amount of $1,391,193. Staff have reviewed the bid package submitted by Ghilotti Construction and determined that the bid was responsive and met all bid requirements.
Ghilotti Construction, and their subcontractors, are appropriately licensed to complete the Project. Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the Resolution to award a construction contract to Ghilotti Construction for the project. The total project authorization will be $1,669,431.60 which includes a 20% ($278,238.60) contingency for any unforeseen field conditions encountered during construction such underground utility conflicts from unmarked and unknown private utilities.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Total authorization will be $1,669,431.60. which is the total bid amount plus a 20% contingency ($1,391,193 total bid + $278,238.60 contingency) . Funding for this Project has been allocated within the Sewer Capital Fund (Fund 255). This fund has received additional support from FSSD through Resolution No. 2022 -135, which amended the funding for sewer collection system rehabilitation and replacement.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
A notice inviting bids for this project was advertised twice in the Daily Republic newspaper on January 28 and February 4, 2026. In addition, staff emailed a notice of the project to all Contractors who previously submitted bids to City for similar projects. Plans and specifications were also sent via Benicia Printing Express (BPX) to a total of 17 builder’s exchanges in the State of California covering the area from Redding to San Jose and Stockton to Santa Rosa. A total of 24 contractors purchased bid documents for this project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to award the contract, reject all bids and restart the bid process.
However, this would result in a significant delay in the construction schedule and would postpone this much needed sewer improvement.

Authorizing an Update to the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Water Enterprise Capital Budget for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure Implementation
Funding Source: $10,250,000; Water Enterprise Capital Fund
Contact: Michael J. Hether, (707) 428-7493
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
City staff are seeking an update to the fiscal year (FY) 2025 -2026 and FY 2026 -2027 Water Enterprise Capital Fund Budget for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Implementation (Project; CPW090055).
DISCUSSION
Fairfield Municipal Utilities serves over 30,000 customers who consume water from its system.
AMI is the modern iteration of water metering technology. The City primarily uses Automated Meter Reading (AMR) technology which requires staff to drive by the meters with a device to collect meter read data. The data is then imported into the billing system by staff. AMI meters are connected devices which automatically transmit data to the designated systems. AMI systems collect real time data, and this data can be transmitted on an interval designated by the Utility. These devices and systems also contain built-in analytics which help detect possible leaks.
Not only do the meters benefit the utility in terms of data collection, analytics, and reductions in time to bill, but using real -time data aids the City in generating the State required reporting for water use and conservation. As state reporting requirements cont inue to expand, it is increasingly important for water systems to adopt AMI technology.
Staff previously retained the Shpigler Group (Shpigler) to perform feasibility, systems, and business analyses as well as provide project management support for the con version to AMI.
Based on the results of these analyses, staff determined that the appropriate strategy to implement the conversion is to modernize the utility billing system (currently in a Request for Proposal process) along with other supporting systems and to extend the existing pilot Metron system throughout the entire water utility instead of removing and replacing working equipment.
Approximately one -third of the system (about 11,000 meters) is already equipped with the Metron AMI which was installed as a pilot in previous years. Moving to a new system would require disposal of existing functional equipment. The aforementioned approach creates the following benefits for the City:
Significantly reduces the apparent wa ter loss in a faster timeframe which is now a State regulatory measure of water utility performance
Reduces revenue loss due to unbilled water consumption caused by reading inaccuracies Allows the City to retain existing functional hardware reducing cost o f equipment, integration, and implementation costs
Reduction of manual processes by staff which results in increased efficiency and decreased probably of errors
City staff are seeking to accelerate the budgeted amounts outlined in FY 2028 and the subsequent years of the current 5 -year Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) to FY 2026 and FY 2027. The current budget allocates $7.25 million in FY 2027, $3.25 million in FY 2028, and $7 million in future years. The proposed acceleration would reallocate the $7 mi llion initially planned for future years to FY 2026, thereby increasing the FY 2026 budget. Additionally, the $3.25 million allocated for FY 2028 would be reallocated to FY 2027 to enhance that year's budget. This adjustment relates to the timing of fund a vailability for the Project and does not change the overall Project budget. The Project was included in the City's water rates study, which established the basis for the recent rate schedule. Expenses related to the AMI conversion and updates to associated systems are consistent with capital improvement requirements.
Authorization for the purchase of the AMI hardware and any associated systems will be sought in separate requests to City Council.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total budget adjustment for this FY 2025-2026 and FY 2026 -2027 budget adjustment is $10,250,000 which will be allocated from the Water Enterprise Capital Fund Balance (Fund 462).
The distribution of these funds to Fund 462 to increase the current budgetary amounts of the Project is as follows: $7 million will be reallocated from planned future years to increase the FY 2026 budgetary amount to $9.25 million and $3.25 million will be reallocated from FY 2028 to increase the FY 2027 budgetary amount to $10.5 million.

Contact: Michael J. Hether, (707) 428-7493
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
City staff are seeking to purchase Metron Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) equipment to extend AMI throughout the entire water system for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure Implementation Project (Project; CPW090055).
DISCUSSION
Fairfield Municipal Utilities provides water services to more than 30,000 customers. AMI is the modern iteration of water metering technology. Currently, the City primarily uses Automated Meter Reading (AMR) technology which requires staff to drive by the meters with a handheld device to collect meter read data. This information is then imported into the billing system by staff.
AMI meters are connected devices that automatically transmit usage data to designated systems.
These systems collect real -time data, which can be transmitted at intervals specified by the utility. These devices and systems incorporate built -in analytics to assist in detecting potential leaks.
Implementing AMI benefits the utility by enhancing data collection, providing advanced analytics, and reducing the time required for billing processes. Additionally, real-time data supports the
city's efforts in generating state -mandated reports related to water consumption and conservation. As state reporting requirements continue to expand, it is increasingly important for water systems to adopt AMI technology.
Staff previously retained the Shpigler Group (Shpigler) to perform feasibility, systems, and business analyses a s well as provide project management support for the conversion to AMI.
Based on the results of these analyses, staff determined that the appropriate strategy to implement the conversion is to modernize the utility billing system (currently in a Request for Proposal process) along with other supporting systems and to extend the existing pilot Metron system throughout the entire water utility instead of removing and replacing working equipment.
Approximately one -third of the system (a bout 11,000 meters) is already equipped with the Metron AMI which was installed as a pilot in previous years. Moving to a new system would require disposal of existing functional equipment. The aforementioned approach creates the following benefits for the City:

Reduces revenue loss due to unbilled water consumption caused by reading inaccuracies Allows the City to retain exi sting functional hardware reducing cost of equipment, integration, and implementation costs
Reduction of manual processes by staff which results in increased efficiency and decreased probably of errors
Staff is seeking to purchase Metron AMI equipment to extend the existing Metron AMI system throughout the entire water system.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total authorization for this purchase is in the amount not -to-exceed $6,556,687 which is comprised of the metron costs ($5,960,625) and a 10% management reserve ($596,062) to cover freight and the potential need for additional equipment. The cost for this purchase will be paid out of the Water Enterprise Capital Fund (Fund 462).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
On May 17, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-107 authorizing the submission of grant applications to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA ). The City applied for and was awarded a grant from the FTA, rec eiving $12.016 million through the Bus & Bus Facilities Competitive Program. The City allocated $3,000,000 in state and local funds including Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds, to meet the 20% local match requirement . The initial l scope focused on zero -emission infrastructure as part of Phase 1A – Corporation Yard Fleet Electrification Project (Electrification Project; CPW080104).
In Summer 2025, the FTA notified the City of a policy change prioritizing low-emission over zero- emission projects. This shift impacts both new and previously awarded grants, placing the City's awarded funds at risk. Staff submitted a re vised application, and the FTA approved the
reallocation of the $12.016M grant to a revised scope under a new project. This requires establishing a separate Capital Improvement Plan to effectively track funding and expenses.
DISCUSSION
On December 14, 2018, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) Act requiring public transit agencies to transition to 100% zero -emission bus fleets by 2040. The Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) Act adopted April 28, 2023, mandates medium - and heavy-duty vehicles (>8,500 lbs.) tran sition to zero -emission, with 50% of new vehicles zero - emission starting January 1, 2024 (100% by 2027), and for transit: 50% of new purchases zero - emission starting 2026 (100% by 2029).
Staff originally designed the Electrification Project to support compliance, including E lectric Vehicle (EV) Charging infrastructure, funded by the $12.016M FTA grant and $3.47M TDA local match.
Due to the recent FTA policy change, the City revised the scope to retain the grant as follows:
Replace five battery -electric buses with diesel -electric hybrids to align with low -emission initiatives, support CARB Compliance, and reduce operation costs. Acquire adjacent real property at 1336 Woolner Avenue to serve as additional space for bus storage and maintenance (addressing insufficient space at the current Corporation Yard. Incorporate workforce development and training programs focused only on hybrid vehicle maintenance and operations.
Provide engineering design for future maintenance facility upgrades.
This revis ed scope is now the Transit Maintenance Facility Expansion Project (Project; CPW080105), located at and is adjacent to 1336 Woolner Avenue. The current Corporation Yard lacks adequate bus storage: the adjacent property includes an existing structure and open parking to support storage while enhancing fleet maintenance.
The Electrification Project has proceeded separately with alternative funding sources, including a construction contract awarded to Bockmon & Woody Electric Company Inc. in December 2025 for chargers and infrastructure. Establishing this new Project and reallocating or approving funds ensures proper tracking, compliance with grant terms, and progress toward CARB goals while retaining the grant.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Transit Maintenance Facility Expansion Project (CPW080105) was not included in the fiscal year (FY) 2025-2026 Capital Budget. Therefore, a budget amendment is required to authorize an increase in appropriations of $15,486,400 to the Transit Fixed Route Fund (Fund 451). Funding for the Project is allocated as follows: $12,016,000 FTA grant funds that will be reallocated from the Electrification Project and $3,470,000 TDA grant funds. The reallocation preserves the FTA grant funds that were at risk. There is no impact on the General Fund.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council could choose not to adopt the resolution, which would prevent proper tracking of the reallocated grant funds, potentially jeopardize FTA compliance, delay property acquisition , bus procurement, training, and hinder CARB regulatory alignment.

SUBJECT: Resolution 2026-50 PW Pre-Authorization for a One-Time Water Transfer for the 2026 State Water Project with Solano County Water Agency
Authorizing the City Manager to Sign a Letter of Understanding with the Solano County Water Agency for a One -Time Transfer of up to 2,000 Acre-Feet of Fairfield 202 6 State Water Project Water Supplies with Another State Water Contractor
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Michael J. Hether, (707) 428-7493
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City Council approval would authorize the city manager to sign a standard form Letter of Understanding (LOU) on a future date. This authorization would be comparable to Resolution No. 2025-54, which was signed on April 15, 2025, between the City of Fairfield and the Solano County Water Agency (SCWA). A future LOU would contemplate a one-time transfer of up to 2,000 acre- feet (AF) of State Water Project water supplies between SCWA and a potential buyer. A one-time transfer would only occur if the transaction were conducted before the San Luis Reservoir spills and if the remainder of the City’s water supplies were adequate.
DISCUSSION
The City of Fairfield relies on two surface water sources : Lake Berryessa and the Delta. Water from Lake Berryessa, also referred to as the Solano Project (SP), is derived from the Upper Putah Creek watershed and captured by Monticello Dam to form Lake Berryessa. Water from the Delta, also referred to as State Water Project (SWP), is derived from the Northern Sacramento River Valley watershed and captured by Oroville Dam to form Lake Oroville. The one -time transfer under consideration preserves all SP water supply entitlements totaling 27,000 AF and is confined to SWP water supply entitlements.
Contracts for water supply are administered by SCWA, which acts as the wholesaler of raw water for both SP and SWP. SWP water supplies are delivered to the city t hrough the North Bay Aqueduct (NBA), which is a component of the SWP. The agreement to receive SWP water supplied through the NBA into Solano County is held by the State and SCWA. The City has a member unit contract with SCWA to receive SWP water supplies, which are generally categorized as SWP allocations and carryover water supplies.
SWP allocations fluctuate from year to year and are based on hydrologic conditions in the Delta and storage levels within Lake Oroville. Carryover water supplies are derived from unused Table A quantities but cannot exceed half of the full Table A entitlement, which is 14,678 AF. As of December 2025, the City’s carryover exceeded 4,000 AF. Carryover water is stored in San Luis Reservoir and the carryover amounts reset to zero when the San Luis Reservoir spills, which last occurred in March 2023.
In 2021, SCWA developed a water exchange and transfer policy (see Attachment 4) in conjunction with Solano County cities. The purpose of this policy was to formalize how SCWA had conducted water transfers and exchanges while protecting Solano County’s primary water sources. The central theme of the policy gives Solano County cities the first right of refusal for any transfers or exchanges before seeking buyers located outside the county. Similarly, to participate in a water transfer or exchange, all Solano County cities who receive SWP water supplies must unanimously agree to participate in the transaction.
In July 2025, the City of Fairfield participated in a one-time water transfer which resulted in the sale of 2,000 AF at rate of $250 per AF amounting to $ 500,000. While there currently is no transaction being proposed, advance approval would expedite a potential transaction given that the San Luis Reservoir may spill in the coming months, which would result in the City’s carryover going from 4,079 AF to zero. Prompt action is necessary to ensure successful completion of water transfers and sales transactions between buyers and sellers.
If the opportunity presents itself, pre-authorization of an LOU would allow the City to participate in another transaction through SCWA. SCWA will then be empowered to seek out potential buyers of excess water and when a buyer is confirmed, SCWA as the contract administrat or will execute an agreement and seek approval from the Department of Water Resources (DWR). Upon approval by DWR, SCWA will conduct the water transfer to the buyer in accordance with their agreement. A minimum rate of $250 per AF would be used as the ba seline for a potential one- time transfer, however, the market could result in a sale of upwards of $450 per AF.
If the San Luis Reservoir does not spill, the City of Fairfield has adequate water supplies available for the remainder of 2026 and is well positioned to conduct a one-time transfer in an amount not to exceed 2,000 AF. If San Luis Reservoir spills before a one-time transfer can be completed, then an LOU would no longer be required, and the City will not follow through on a one -time water transfer for the 2026 water year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City’s Water Enterprise Fund could receive upwards of $450/AF in revenue if pre-approval to sign an L OU were approved, and SCWA were able to execute the proposed one -time water transfer.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to authorize the city manager to sign the LOU. However, doing so will forgo receiving revenue that would otherwise be lost if the San Luis Reservoir spills in the upcoming months.

The specific Contractor has not yet been identified but will be one of the many SWP contractors that are interested in purchasing the water from Fairfield. In consideration for the 2024 Transfer, Contractor will pay the Agency a minimum fee of $ 250. 00 per AF water transferred (" Transfer Fee"), for
a projected total of $ 500, 000, which the Agency will then remit to " Fairfield.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may negotiate a higher fee with any such Contractors.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The Agency holds a contract with the Department of Water Resources (" DWR") to receive imported water deliveries from the SWP. Fairfield ( along with other agencies in Solano County) is a Member Agency of the Agency and pays the Agency to receive an allocation of SWP water under a separate contract.
As of the date of this LOU, the Agency and City have contacted several SWP contractors outside of Solano County that hold contracts to receive water deliveries from the SWP and. require more SWP water than their DWR allocation provides in 2024. Fairfield agrees to forego a portion of up to two -thousand - acre feet ( 2,000 AF) of the delivery of the 2024 SWP water to which it is entitled under the Fairfield Member Unit Contract and make that water available for transfer to Contractor under the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Pursuant to Fairfield' s request, the Agency will work with the selected Contractor and DWR to facilitate the 2024 Transfer. The basic parameters of the 2024 Transfer are as follows:
Fairfield will receive from the Agency a Transfer Fee of $ 250. 00 per AF, or other reasonably negotiated price, of SWP water transferred to Contractor in the 2024 water year. 810 Vaca Valley Parkway, Suite 203
Vacaville, CA 95688

Fax ( 707) 451- 6099 7!
Sewa2. com
The amount of 2024 Transfer water is estimated to be up to 2, 000 AF, the final price shall be determined by multiplying the total number of acre fee transferred by the agreed - upon price per acre foot.
The Agency will serve as a " pass through" and facilitator of the 2024 Transfer, and will not receive any financial compensation, water, or other remuneration for these efforts.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Condition Precedent. DWR' s written approval of the 2024 Transfer between the Agency and the Contractor is a condition precedent to the Agency' s authorization to proceed under the LOU.

SOLANO COUNTY WATER AGENCY
WATER TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE POLICY
(Adopted July 8, 2021)
This policy has been developed by the Solano County Water Agency (SCWA) Water Policy Committee and adopted by the SCWA Board of Directors at their July 8, 2021, Board meeting. This policy only applies to Solano Project water and State Water Project (SWP) water (aka NBA water). It is not intended to impinge on individual member agency’s water rights.
Introduction
SCWA is a wholesale water supply agency providing untreated water to cities and agricultural districts in Solano County from the Federal Solano Project and the North Bay Aqueduct of the State Water Project. SCWA represents local agencies involved in water and flood management. The Agency is governed by the Board of Directors composed of the five members of the Solano County Board of Supervisors, the seven mayors of the cities in Solano County, and a director from each of the three agricultural districts that provide retail agricultural water.
Member agencies include:
• City of Benicia
• City of Dixon
• City of Fairfield
• City of Rio Vista
• City of Suisun City
• City of Vacaville
• City of Vallejo
• Maine Prairie Water District
• Reclamation District 2068
• Solano County
• Solano Irrigation District
Purpose and Intent
SCWA supports sustainable water management of the agency’s State Water Project and Federal Solano Project allocations, while providing flexibility to the Agency’s members. Water purveyors in Solano County have a long history of working together in collaboration with SCWA.
2 | Page
The purpose of this policy is to formalize SCWA water transfer and exchanges while protecting primary water sources. The policy is intended to address issues in the future including:
• Population growth
• Drought
• Sustainability
• Resiliency
• Recycled water
• Tail water
• Groundwater
• Regional integration
• Environmental water quality
• Fire protection
• More effective movement of water within the county and beyond • Substituting new water opportunities/sources for NBA transferable water
The overriding principles of this policy are:
• No Harm/Solano County First.
• Any transfer or exchange must be consistent with the SCWA Master Contract with DWR and the SCWA Master Contract with the Bureau of Reclamation. • Any transfers or exchanges not covered by this policy are not necessarily prohibited but will be addressed by SCWA on case-by-case basis. • Any existing contracts and on-going service obligations are grandfathered into this policy.
Definitions
• Exchange: Trading water. As an example, one entity might trade NBA water for Solano Project water. An agreed-on amount of water is returned to the seller. • Harm: In the context of "No Harm/Solano County First", "harm" shall be defined as: (1) transfer or exchange of water to an entity outside Solano County without first offering such water to SCWA members within Solano County; 2) Not notifying SCWA of any inter-county Solano Project/State Water Project transfers. • In-County Exchanges: Water exchanges between SCWA member(s) and other Solano Project members for use within the County.
• Out-of-County Exchanges: Water exchanges from individual SCWA member(s) to water agencies outside SCWA’s jurisdiction.
• Place of Use: Geographical area that Solano Project water can be transferred or exchanged within. Place of Use is limited to Solano County (except Montezuma Hills), UC Davis and a small part of Yolo County as authorized by the State Water Board.
3 | Page
• Transfer: An action where water is delivered to the buyer in exchange for a mutually agreed price.
• In-County Transfers: Water transfers between SCWA member(s) and other Solano Project members for use within the County.
• Out-of-County Transfers: Water transfers from individual SCWA member(s) to water agencies outside SCWA’s jurisdiction.
• Solano Project Water: The Solano Project is a federal project that stores water in Lake Berryessa for delivery to users within the Place of Use. SCWA holds, as executors, long-term master water supply contracts with U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). Solano Project water cannot be transferred or exchanged outside its “Place of Use.”
• State Water Project (SWP) (aka NBA Water) “Table A” water. Table A water is the only supply in SCWA’s water supply portfolio that is eligible for transfers and exchanges outside of SCWA’s service area. SWP “Table A” water is the annual NBA water supply provided by SCWA‘s Long-term State Master Contract for SWP water supply which SCWA members have an allocated portion of. The SWP contract allows for transfers and exchanges to recover some capitalized and/or operational investment costs. Exchanges and transfers out-of-county can only be negotiated with another SWP Contractor for use within the SWP service area, or the collective service areas of all 29 State Water Contractors. DWR approval is required for all out-of-county transfers and exchanges. The SWP Contract transfer and exchange rules are strict and carefully applied by DWR to scrutinize all SWP transfers and exchanges.
• North Bay Aqueduct: A component of the State Water Project that serves portions of Solano and Napa counties.
• Transferrable/Exchangeable Water: Water determined by individual member agencies to be available for exchange or transfer.
Scope
Only transferrable/exchangeable water, as determined by individual SCWA member agencies, is subject to this Water Transfer and Exchange Policy.
Potential sources of water available for transfer or exchange include:
• State Water Project conveyed through the North Bay Aqueduct (Table A water) • Solano Project
Policy Consistency
This policy will be consistent with any Groundwater Sustainability Plans, Urban and Agricultural Water Management Plans, and the cities and County General Plans. The
4 | Page
policy is also linked to SCWA’s 2016-2025 Strategic Plan and will not impair any existing contracts relating to water exchanges/transfers.
Policy
SCWA member agencies negotiate water transfers and exchanges with willing sellers and will advise SCWA and other member agencies through the Solano Water Advisory Committee (SWAC) of any water needs or availability of transferrable/exchangeable water when known.
In-County Priority: Member agencies should be encouraged to seek water transfers and exchanges serving in-county needs before serving out-of-county needs. Water deemed to be available for a transfer or exchange by any SCWA member agency should first be offered to other SCWA member agencies at mutually agreeable terms. If agreement cannot be reached within the timeframe set by the offering member agency, the member may pursue other buyers.
Out-of-County Transfer and Exchanges:
If no SCWA member agencies commit to purchasing the transferrable/exchangeable water supply by the deadline set by the offering member agency, member agencies may request SCWA to offer the transferrable/exchangeable water to out-of-county State Water Project (SWP) contractors at prevailing market prices. Notifying SCWA by April 1st, or when known, will give SCWA adequate time to negotiate the transfer/exchange.
Transfer/Exchange Procedures
1. In-County Transfer and Exchange procedure includes:
a. Individual SCWA member agencies determine if they have transferrable/exchangeable water available.
b. Individual agencies with transferrable/exchangeable water negotiate mutually agreeable terms with receiving member agencies. c. SCWA must be notified of any transfers/exchanges. SCWA will determine:
(i) Verification of water rights
(ii) Conveyance capacity
(iii) Consistency with DWR and USBR Master Contracts
(iv) Environmental review (CEQA)
(v) Any other requirements that may be added in the future.
d. The SCWA Board must approve any transfers or exchanges requiring CEQA.
e. SCWA will perform all administrative and bookkeeping functions.
5 | Page
2. Out-of-County Transfer and Exchanges:
If no SCWA member agencies commit to purchasing the
transferrable/exchangeable water by the deadline set by the offering member agency, member agencies may request SCWA to offer the
transferrable/exchangeable water to out-of-county State Water Project (SWP) contractors at prevailing market prices. Notifying SCWA by April 1st, or when known, will give SCWA adequate time to negotiate the transfer/exchange.
Out-of-County transfer and exchange procedures include:
a. Timeline
(i) All out-of-county transfer and/or exchanges should be submitted to SCWA ideally by April 1st of any given year, or when known. (ii) The offering member agency will respond to a request to purchase and/or SCWA will seek buyers and SCWA will negotiate the terms of the transfer and/or exchange in consultation with the member agency offering the transferrable/exchangeable water. The terms will minimize the risk to the selling agency and SCWA.
b. Terms for multi-year transfers must include a provision for the SCWA member agency to confirm availability and the ability to deliver water on an annual basis. This allows for suspending the contract to meet local needs or prioritize transfers or exchanges to SCWA members for any single year.
c. SCWA will determine:
(i) Verification of water rights
(ii) Compliance with the DWR Master Contract
(iii) Compliance with the Bay-Delta Water Quality Control Plan (iv) Consistent with HCP/NCCP
(v) Meets CEQA
(vi) Does not create a water quality problem for another SCWA member agency.
d. SCWA will obtain DWR approval.
e. SCWA will seek SCWA Board approval. If the timing requires quicker action than monthly Board meetings, the General Manager will recommend a Special Meeting.
f. SCWA will facilitate the transfers through DWR.
COSTS
6 | Page
Any State or third-party charges or fees related to transfers and exchanges within the County or to water contractors outside the County shall be payable by the receiving agency. SCWA staff time to assist with the transfer or exchange shall not be charged to the transferring agency.
Responsibilities
1. Responsibility of SCWA General Manager: Discretion is delegated to the General Manager by the SCWA Board to:
a. Notify SWAC members when transferrable/exchangeable water is available.
b. Follow all transfer and exchange policies and procedures.
2. Responsibility of SCWA Water Policy Committee: The Water Policy Committee shall:
a. Annually review this policy to determine if it effectively meets the needs of member agencies. The Committee may propose amendments to this policy, for consideration by the full Board, to address inefficiencies and changing conditions. The Committee will coordinate with the SWAC before proposed changes are brought before the full Board.
b. The Water Policy Committee should have diverse representation of Municipal and Industrial (M&I), ag, and County interests.
Protection of SCWA and member agencies
All transfer and exchange agreements shall include appropriate “hold harmless” language to protect SCWA, member agencies, their officers, and staff from non- performance and/or negligence by the entity receiving the transferred or exchanged water.
Effective Term of Policy
The terms and provisions of this policy shall remain in full force and effect until amended by the SCWA Water Policy Committee and approved by the SCWA Board.

Glossary:
Acre-foot One acre-foot equals about 326,000 gallons, or enough water to cover an acre of land (about the size of a football field) one foot deep. An average California household uses between one-half and one acre-foot of water per year for indoor and outdoor use.
CEQA California Environmental Quality Act - a California statute passed in 1970, shortly after the United States federal government passed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to institute a statewide policy of environmental protection. CEQA does not directly regulate land uses, but instead requires state and local agencies within California to follow a protocol of analysis and public disclosure of environmental impacts of proposed projects and, in a departure from NEPA, adopt all feasible measures to mitigate those impacts. CEQA makes environmental protection a mandatory part of every California state and local (public) agency's decision- making process.
DWR California Department of Water Resources
HCP/NCCP A Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is a document that meets federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) requirements and enables local agencies to allow projects and activities to occur in endangered species’ habitats. In exchange, those projects and activities must incorporate HCP-prescribed measures to avoid, minimize, or compensate for adverse effects on natural
communities and endangered species. A Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) is the State counterpart to the federal HCP.
Master Contracts SCWA holds a two long-term water supply contracts. They include:
• Federal contract with the Bureau of Reclamation for Solano Project water. Includes Ag and M&I deliveries.
• State contract with DWR for State Water Project water.
Includes M&I deliveries only.
NBA North Bay Aqueduct. The NBA is part of the State Water Project (SWP). The NBA is an underground pipeline that conveys SWP water to Solano and Napa counties. SCWA has service contracts for NBA water with Vacaville, Fairfield, Suisun City, Vallejo, and

North Bay Aqueduct
The North Bay Aqueduct (NBA) is part of the State Water Project and provides 40% of the municipal water supply to over 400,000 people in cities in Solano and Napa Counties. The NBA consists of a pump station in the Cache Slough area in the Delta and a 28-mile underground pipeline that delivers water to city water treatment plants, intermediate pump stations and ancillary facilities.
The NBA State Water Project provides about 50% of the municipal and industrial water use in Solano County and about 40% of the municipal and industrial water use in Napa County. This water supply to Napa and Solano Counties is a critical resource and is expected to provide future water for planned growth in both counties. The following cities either currently use (or can use in the future) NBA water: Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville, Vallejo, Rio Vista, American Canyon, Napa, and Calistoga.

Solano Project
The Solano Project is a federal project of the Bureau of Reclamation that stores water in Lake Berryessa for delivery to users throughout the region and is sized to meet only the projected water needs of Solano County. Congressional authorization was granted for the construction of the Solano Project and the first water was delivered in 1959. The total construction cost for the Solano Project was $38 million. For a more detailed history of the Solano Project, see the book by the Solano Irrigation District entitled "The Solano Water Story: A History of the Solano Irrigation District and the Solano Project."
Monticello Dam was constructed from 1953 to 1957 and has a height of 304 feet and a crest length of 1023 feet. The dam is able to hold a capacity of 1.602 million acre-feet of water.

TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 2026-51 HD Economic & Planning Systems Amendment
Approving an Amendment to Increase the Contract Amount Between the City of Fairfield and Economic & Planning Systems
Funding Source: $125,000; Low-Moderate-Income Housing Fund
Contact: LaTanya Terrones, (707) 428-7454
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Adopt a resolution authorizing the city manager or designee to amend the agreement with Economic & Planning Systems (EPS) to increase the total contract from $99,945 to $125,000 to complete additional analysis associated with the City’s affordable housing nexus and commercial linkage fee study associated with consideration to implement an Inclusionary Housing Policy in Fairfield.
DISCUSSION
In 2023, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking a qualified consultant to prepare an Affordable Housing Nexus Study and Commercial Linkage Fee Study. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the relationship between new development and the demand for affordable housing and to determine a legally defensible fee structure that the City could adopt to support affordable housing development.
Following the RFP process, the City entered into an agreement with Economic & Planning Systems (EPS) to conduct the study. EPS has completed the primary scope of work under the existing agreement, including development of the nexus analysis and recommended fee framework.
As the study progressed and draft findings were shared with stakeholders, including members of the development community, additional questions and feedback were received regarding certain assumptions and c alculations used in the analysis. In response to this feedback, and to ensure the study is thorough, transparent, and legally defensible, additional analysis and recalculations are necessary.
The additional work requested of EPS includes further evaluatio n of development prototypes, updated financial feasibility modeling, and recalculation of certain fee assumptions based on developer feedback. This additional analysis will ensure that the final nexus study accurately reflects market conditions and development economics while maintaining compliance with state nexus requirements.
The original contract amount with EPS is nearing completion. The cost of the additional analysis will increase the total contract amount to more than $100,000, which requires City Council approval in accordance with the City’s purchasing policies.
Approving this amendment will allow EPS to complete the additional work needed to finalize the study and provide the City with the necessary technical analysis to consider adoption of an inclusionary housing and commercial linkage fee program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The amendment to the agreement with EPS will increase the total contract to an amount not-to- exceed $125,000. Funding for this work will be paid from the Low -Moderate-Income Housing Fund (LMIHAF).
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
The nexus study process has included outreach and discussion with stakeholders, including members of the development community, who have provided feedback on draft assumptions and calculations used in the analysis.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to approve the amendment to the agreement with EPS. However, if the amendment is not approved, the City may be unable to complete the additional analysis required to finalize the nexus st udy and move forward with consideration of an inclusionary housing and commercial linkage fee program. This may directly impact the City’s ability to generate funding to support affordable housing development.

SUBJECT: Resolution 2026-53 HR Side Letters of Agreement for CalPERS Reporting Purposes
Approving and Adopting Side Letters of Agreement Relating to Special Compensation for CalPERS Reporting Purposes
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Farbod Pirouzmand; (707) 428-7397
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City received a California Public Employees’ Retirement System ( CalPERS) compensation compliance determination finding that Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Paramedic pay language in the Fairfield Professional Firefighters’ Association (FPFA) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the Preparatory/Briefing Time Premium Pay language in the Fairfield Police Management Associations’ (FPMA) MOU were not compliant as written for CalPERS reporting purposes. Approval and adoption of the attached resolution will formalize the special compensation language in applicable MOUs and maintain the City’s compliance with applicable CalPERS reporting requirements.
DISCUSSION
The City received a CalPERS compensation compliance determination identifying that the EMT and Paramedic pay provisions in the Fairfield Professional Firefighters’ Association MOU, as well as the Preparatory/Briefing Time Premium Pay language within the Fairfield Police Management Associations’ MOU, were not compliant for CalPERS reporting purposes as written. The City subsequently worked with CalPERS to revise and clarify the applicable special compensation language through side letters so that the languag e conforms to CalPERS reporting requirements while reflecting compensation that had previously been approved and adopted by the City.
California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 571 requires that reportable special compensation for classic members be contained in a written labor policy or agreement that is duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with applicable public meeting laws. Formal approval of the attached side letters by resolution is therefore necessary to validate the City’s reporting of this compensation to CalPERS and to ensure retirement benefits are calculated based on compliant governing documents.
Although the City has already been providing the affected compensation, no new compensation is being estab lished through this action. Rather, this item is administrative in nature and is intended solely to approve the updated side letters containing CalPERS -compliant special compensation language, formalize the documentation supporting existing compensation, a nd maintain the City’s compliance with applicable CalPERS reporting requirements.
Staff recommend approval of the attached resolution approving the side letters for CalPERS reporting purposes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed resolution to adopt and approve the side letters of agreement regarding special compensation will not increase staffing costs in the department’s budget.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to adopt the resolution, however, the City will be unable to formally approve the updated special compensation language in the side letters as required for CalPERS reporting purposes. This option will place the City out of compliance with CalPERS regulations regarding the validation of sp ecial compensation for retirement benefit calculations. No alternative action is recommended.

SUBJECT: CD Cordelia-Suisun Valley Gateway Study Session
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Jonathan Atkinson, (707) 428-7387
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive report, open discussion, and provide directions to staff.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Northstate Developers Company, LLC (Northstate Developers) and North Bay Healthcare Corporation (North Bay Health) plan to develop approximately 44 acres of vacant land at the southeastern corner of Suisun Valley Road and Business Center Drive (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers [APNs]: 0027 -260-230, 0027 -260-240, 0027 -340-090, and 0027-340-020). The proposed developments, which include a collection of auto-oriented uses and a large medical center, conflict with the General Plan vision for the subject property . Staff need to assess whether the council is amenable to a new General Plan vision for the subject property, particularly one with auto-oriented u ses and health and medical uses . If the council is amenable, staff would like direction as to the expected level of public engagement for a General Plan Amendment, and the quality of design for development.
DISCUSSION
Background
On December 3, 2024, council adopted a new General Plan as part of the Fairfield Forward 2050 initiative. The General Plan is a long -term comprehensive vision for the city. It guides future decisions on development, resource management, and public safety through goal and policy objectives. The General Plan identifies multiple “Infill Focus Areas” in which major development is anticipated through 2050. Approximately 44 acres of vacant land at the southeastern corner of
Suisun Valley Road and Business Center Drive is an Infill Focus Area and identified as the Cordelia- Suisun Valley Gateway.
The General Plan designates the subject property as follows in the Land Use Diagram:
Cordelia-Suisun Valley Gateway Mixed-Use. The Cordelia-Suisun Valley Gateway Mixed- use designation applies to the approximately 44-acre area at the southeastern corner of Suisun Valley Road and Business Center Drive in Cordelia, located at the “gateway” to Suisun Valley, an emerging viticultural and wine -making visitation agritourism destination. The Cordelia-Suisun Valley Gateway Mixed-use designation is envisioned as a commercial development that is designed to cater to the lifestyle needs and preferences of residents and visitors and integrates a mix of retail, dining, entertainment, office, civic and recreational uses, as well as parks, housing, and lodging.
A minimum non-residential FAR (floor area ratio)of 0.3 is required across the entire area, and the maximum overall FAR for all non-residential and residential uses is 1.5. Residential uses, where provided, shall have a net density range of 18-40 dwelling units per acre.
This designation was developed following a robust public engagement process, including multiple community workshops and council study sessions, from 2021 through 2024. Additional General Plan information relating to the Cordelia-Suisun Valley Gateway is available in Attachment 2 for reference.
Following the adoption of the General Plan, the City retained Dyett & Bhatia to assist with implementation efforts that are currently underway, including comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Ordinance so that it is aligned with the General Plan vision . Furthermore, the comprehensive amendments would result in the creation of Zoning Ordinance regulations for the Cordelia-Suisun Valley Gateway.
Suisun Valley Place and North Bay Health Developments
On May 13, 2024, Northstate Developers, a subsidiary of Discovery Builders, filed multiple applications as part of the Suisun Valley Place project to the City for review. The project, which is currently incomplete, involves two commercial buildings, two freestanding drive -through restaurants, a service station with both a convenience market and a drive -through restaurant, a car wash, and an electronic freeway sign on 9.7 acres of land . This project previously encompassed 39.7 acres of land and involved 40 townhomes and 167 single-family residences, with two hotels proposed as part of a future phase but were subsequently abandoned.
On January 17, 2025, North Bay Health purchased approximately 30 acres of the subject property to develop a new medical center, medical office building, and a central utility plant with various gardens, plazas, and green spaces. North Bay Health, which currently operates a medical center at 1200 B. Gale Wilson Boulevard, would relocate this operation to the subject property .
Conceptually, parking would primarily be provided in surface parking lots with a portion of the
parking spaces underneath the medical center and medical office building . Some of the surface parking spaces would be provided on 6.71 acres of vacant land (APN: 0027 -260-230) that North Bay Health would acquire from the City . North Bay Health has not yet filed any formal applications for City review but has shared conceptual plans.
City Council Questions
Both the Suisun Valley Place and North Bay Health developments do not align with the General Plan vision for the subject property. The General Plan does not envision auto-oriented uses, such as drive-through restaurants, service stations, or carwashes, nor does it envision a medical center for the subject property . Because both developments constitute significant investment in a catalyst site, City staff believe it is prudent for the council to determine whether there is interest in an alternative vision for the subject property.
City staff requests council feedback on the following questions:
Are you amenable to a new General Plan vision for the subject property? What are your thoughts on auto-oriented uses for the subject property? What are your thoughts on health and medical-related uses for the subject property? What level of community engagement do you expect for a General Plan Amendment? What are your expectations for the quality of design?
FINANCIAL IMPACT
N/A
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
Should Northstate Developers and North Bay Health proceed with both developments as planned, the Planning Commission would serve as an advisory body to the council for the required legislative changes, such as General Plan Amendment and Zone Change requests .
Furthermore, the Solano County Airport Land Use Commission would also determine whether the developments are consistent with the Travis Air Force Base Land Use Compatibility Plan. The formal application review for both developments and any developer-led community engagement will present opportunities for members of the public to provide feedback.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may elect not to provide feedback on a change in General Plan vision for the subject property. If so, c ity staff would proceed with creating Zoning Ordinance regulations for the Cordelia-Suisun Valley Gateway consistent with the existing General Plan. In this scenario, Discovery Builders and North Bay Health may or may not proceed with the ir proposed developments, which would be in conflict with the current General Plan.

2 Land Use and Urban Design Element
2.6. Focus Areas
While established land use patterns in
Fairfield are largely expected to continue
into the future, the General Plan provides
for several focus areas where major
land use changes or policy directives
are planned within Fairfield’s ULL. These
changes include eight “infill” focus areas
within city limits, and three “growth” focus
areas where the City may annex land in
order to meet economic and housing
goals, shown in Figure 2-4.
Outside of these areas, the existing land
use pattern would be preserved, with
some infill development anticipated on
other vacant and underutilized sites.
In some areas where existing land use
designations are retained, the General
Plan provides additional policy direction.
For example, policies direct improved con-
nections of the TSSP area to surrounding
developing neighborhoods, and requires
study of environmental constraints and
biological resources at Cement Hill Road
and Peabody Road to inform potential
development capacity.
In tandem with continued implementation
of Fairfield’s specific plans, these focus
areas balance community priorities,
including a focus on infill, additional
amenities, expanded access to entertain-
ment and community gathering places,
and more diverse housing types, with the
need to increase Fairfield’s availability of
land for economic and city needs over the
next 25 years.

Fairfield Forward 2050 General Plan
Cordelia-Suisun Valley Gateway
Bounded by Suisun Valley Road, Business
Center Drive, Kaiser Drive, and I-80 in
northern Cordelia, this 40-acre area is
currently vacant and surrounded by
high-density residential and manufac-
turing uses to the west, medium-density
residential and office buildings to the
north, and vacant land to the east. The
bucolic Suisun Valley, an area of major
agricultural and viticultural significance,
lies a few miles to the northeast area.
Cordelia residents have indicated a desire
for a “town center” that helps to complete
the community with additional commercial
and community uses and an identity that
reflects Cordelia’s agricultural surround-
ings. The vision for this focus area is to
create a “destination gateway” into Suisun
Valley: a high-quality, mixed-use lifestyle
center with experiential retail, entertain-
ment, lodging, and commercial-recreation
opportunities, building upon the growing
agritourism opportunities in Suisun Valley.
Design principles for the area will empha-
size walkability (park once), with intercon-
nected streets, pleasant sidewalks, out-
door dining, plazas, and gathering spaces.
A new land use designation, “Cordelia-Su-
isun Valley Mixed-use”, is applied to this
area. Residential uses will be permitted as
part of a cohesive development pattern.

2-56
2 Land Use and Urban Design Element
LU-8. Provide a sense of arrival to
Fairfield at major gateways
and make it easy for people to
identify and navigate to key
locations in Fairfield.
LU-8.1. Gateways. Create entryways
to the city that achieve a sense
of arrival, as shown in Figure
2-3. These entryways shall
incorporate signage, landscap-
ing, architectural features, and
combinations of land uses that
enhance the image of Fairfield.
LU-8.2. Wayfinding. Develop and imple-
ment a comprehensive wayfind-
ing program serving all modes of
transportation, directing people
to key destinations in Fairfield,
which may include the Heart of
Fairfield, Solano Town Center,
Linear Park, Travis Air Force Base,
train stations, Suisun Valley,
the Cordelia Gateway area,
and others. This could include
signage, mile markers, consistent
branding, language and ADA
accessibility, and integration with
technology, as feasible.
Arts, History, and Culture
LU-9. Cultivate a vibrant, inclusive
artistic and cultural
environment in Fairfield
that celebrates its heritage,
showcases its diversity, and
supports a unified Fairfield
identity.
LU-9.1. Arts, History, and Cultural Pro-
grams. In partnership with com-
munity, define and incorporate
programs for public art, cultural
heritage/indigenous history, and
other historical markers in public
spaces and buildings.
LU-9.2. Historic and Cultural
Resources. Establish a system-
atic and comprehensive process
for identifying, protecting, and
preserving the historic and cul-
tural resources of the city. Strive
for diversity in the committee
representation that includes
Fairfield residents of all ages,
backgrounds, and abilities.
LU-9.3. Arts and Culture Partner-
ships. Partner with nonprofits,
faith communities, artists and
performers, youth, and other
community groups in planning
for and delivering community
services and events.
LU-9.4. Historic Preservation. Encour-
age private preservation of
buildings which have historic
significance and/or architectural
merit.
Focus Areas
Infill Areas
Cordelia-Suisun Valley Gateway
LU-10. Develop a “destination
gateway” to Suisun Valley
that includes land uses
that promote and support
agritourism.
LU-10.1. Lifestyle Center. Promote
development of a high-quality
mixed-use “lifestyle center”
development that includes
uses such as experiential
retail, farm-to-table restau-
rants with outdoor dining,
artisan food producers or
smaller tasting rooms, farm
tour offices, commercial recre-
ation, and lodging.
LU-10.2. Building Orientation. Require
buildings to be oriented toward
the street. Do not allow parking
lots (except for angled parking)
in front of buildings adjacent to
the area’s primary circulation
network.
2-57
Fairfield Forward 2050 General Plan
LU-10.3. Community Gathering
Place. Require a functional
community gathering place
or plaza open to the public as
part of site design. Encourage
programming and active uses
of this space that supports
agritourism, for example, a
farmer’s market, wine and
cider tasting, fall festivals, and
other activities.
LU-10.4. Cordelia-Suisun Valley Gate-
way Density and Intensity.
As indicated in the land use
designation, permit a range
of housing types. Developers
may utilize higher density
residential building types and
increased floor area ratios
along major roads determined
as part of site design to
promote clustered, walkable
development, provided that
development does not exceed
the gross density for the area.
Cordelia Commercial Center
LU-11. Prioritize development
of a new neighborhood
commercial center serving
Cordelia, anchored by a
grocery store on the vacant
site at the confluence of I-80
and Red Top Road.
LU-11.1. Grocery Store. Seek to attract
a midsize grocery store and
other essential services to
serve a growing Cordelia
population. Market the site
and conduct interviews with
food retailers to understand
constraints and potential
incentives.
LU-11.2. Commercial Requirement.
Require commercial retail use
at the site. Mixed-use may
be conditionally permitted,
provided the commercial
square footage is sufficient
to support a midsize grocery
store and freeway noise can be
adequately buffered.
LU-11.3. Caltrans Coordination. Coor-
dinate with Caltrans, Solano
Transportation, and other
relevant agencies on future
interchange configuration
through the site to maximize
access to the center by Corde-
lia residents and the broader
Fairfield community.
Business Flex Use
LU-12. Support development of a
“business/industrial mix”
corridor along Business
Center Drive in northern
Cordelia and other select
areas in the city.
LU-12.1. Business Flex Use Area.
Attract a range of employment
uses, including smaller-scale
food and beverage manufac-
turing, “maker” or “incubator”
space for changing businesses,
green technology, research
and development, co-working
space, medical office, and
other type of future growth-ori-
ented uses. Consider imple-
menting flexible parking stan-
dards to foster development
of maker spaces, research and
development uses, and startup
spaces.
LU-12.2. Prohibit Warehousing- Busi-
ness Flex. Prohibit warehous-
ing, distribution, and storage
as a primary use in favor of
more employment-dense
employment types.
LU-12.3. Conditional Housing. Permit
housing north of Business Park
Drive as a conditional use to
meet workforce needs and
promote a mixed-use develop-
ment pattern. Page 131 of 305

Site Design Intent
Suisun Valley Site
The New Suisun Valley site offers a strategic and compelling location for NorthBay’s continued growth and expansion.
Situated just 10 minutes south of NorthBay Medical Center in Fairfield and directly accessible from Interstate 80, the site provides exceptional ease of access for patients, visi- tors, and staff. Its prominent position along a highly traf- ficked corridor between the Bay Area and Sacramento also delivers significant brand visibility for NorthBay.
Complementing NorthBay’s development, retail space is
planned for the adjacent lot to the west. This concurrent development will enhance the overall campus environment and further support the needs of patients, staff, and the sur- rounding community.
The conceptual site plan for the new hospital and Medical Office Building (MOB) strategically places the facility to the north and east of a major utility easement that bisects the parcel. Main entry points for both the hospital and MOB are located along the north side of the property, intentionally oriented away from freeway noise to create a more welcom- ing and serene arrival experience.
Emergency vehicle access, including ambulance entry, is lo- cated along the western edge of the site adjacent to the I-80 exit ramp, ensuring rapid and direct access while mini- mizing disruption to general traffic flow.
The size of the parcel accommodates ample parking with
capacity for approximately 2,100 vehicles. Parking areas are thoughtfully designated for patients, visitors, and staff to ensure convenience and efficiency. All back-of- house operations—including deliveries, services, and
ambulance arrivals—are confined to the south side of the facility, preserving the integrity and calm of the pub - lic-facing northern entrance.
Importantly, the site has been master planned with dedicat- ed space for future expansion of NorthBay’s services, ensur- ing flexibility to grow in alignment with long-term health- care needs in the region.
A variety of outdoor amenities—including healing gardens, shaded plazas, and green spaces—are integrated through- out the site to promote wellness and create restorative en- vironments. These spaces are designed to enhance the ex- perience of patients, families, and staff alike, reinforcing NorthBay’s commitment to holistic, patient-centered care. *07/21/25 Final Draft Review 01

Exterior Building Design & Façade Strategy
For this phase of design, which is highly conceptual, a building massing and façade strategy needed to be ex-
plored that provided NorthBay a design that mirrored
the big ideas NorthBay is visioning for both the New
Suisun Valley site and throughout their broader net -
work. However, the big ideas need to be carefully bal-
anced with restraint to meet the budget goals that sup- port the entire master plan development.
The mass of the buildings is shaped by the constraints
introduced by the site itself. The curving layout of the mass acts as an embrace for patients and family arriving to the hospital. The layout of the patient towers take
full advantage of the incredible views out to the sur-
rounding landscape of the Suisun Valley.
The façade of the inpatient towers and MOB utilizes a
shifting color palette of greens that are inspired by
NorthBay’s brand as well as the ever-changing colors of the Suisun Valley throughout the year. The primarily
glass façade is balanced with strong solid earth toned
elements that ground the building mass. The hospital
and MOB are connected by a sweeping promenade
along the North that serves as the unifying element in- ternally and externally. The prominent continuous can-
opy provides a dramatic arrival experience.
