Gree�ngs City Council,
Thank you for your work and understanding of the complexi�es with the reconfigura�on of the parklet at 7560 Monterey Rd.. There are recent developments which prompt me to ask for a postponement of the direc�ve to reconfigure parklet. Please see below:
1. Building owner at 7554 Monterey Road, David Leal, has stated he is fine with the current parklet design encroachment. (David has agreed to provide documenta�on of his agreement.)
2. Business is very slow downtown and Tempo Kitchen and Bar is working to draw up business and maintain opera�ons. We are working with tenant to find solu�ons to help their success. A reconfigura�on would be pointless with the looming removal of the parklet if Tempo closes opera�ons. If that happened I’m also very concerned about finding a new tenant. Factors like the many other vacant buildings, very few restaurants, and now no parklet to offer, will make it difficult. In the past, the parklet was a strong posi�ve for ALL prospec�ve tenants looking at the space.
3. Due to the current economic environment, the cost of reconstruc�ng the parklet is very costly and would hinder effects to maintain current opera�ons.
4. We ask that Tempo be allowed to use the parklet as-is in order to boost sales and maintain opera�ons. Removing (or re-construc�ng) the parklet could severely hurt Tempo.
5. Significant improvements have been made to the parklet to improve the esthe�cs and building viewability. We will con�nue to make improvements accordingly.
Once again, thank you for your work and we appreciate you working through this process. I respec�ully request the Council approve a postponement (for at least 6 months) of the direc�ve to reconfigure due to Dave Leal’s acceptance of the parklet as it sits now, and due to the uncertainty of the current market.
We thank you for your support in this mater.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Adopt a Resolution Approving a Time Extension for a Tentative Map for the Gilroy Square Project Located at 6970 Camino Arroyo, APN 841-70-049 (File Number TM 21-02)
Meeting Date: June 2, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Community Development
Submitted by: Sharon Goei, Community Development Director Prepared by: Erin Freitas, Senior Planner
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Promote Economic Development Activities
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving a 12-month time extension of a previously approved Tentative Map to subdivide a 10.18-acre site into six parcels, located at 6970 Camino Arroyo, APN 841-70-049 (TM 21-02).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 5, 2023, the City Council approved a Tentative Map (TM 21-02) to subdivide a
10.18-acre site into six parcels at 6970 Camino Arroyo (Resolution 2023-40). As conditioned, the approved tentative map shall expire twenty-four (24) months from the approval date and may be extended pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act. The approved tentative map is set to expire on June 5, 2025. The applicant has filed an extension request in compliance with the State Subdivision Map Act. Pursuant to the provisions of State law, a project qualifies for an extension of time under the same conditions and circumstances under which it was originally approved. No changes to conditions can be required, except if necessary to comply with a provision of state or federal law. Approval of this request would extend the permit expiration date for TM 21-02 to June 5, 2026.
BACKGROUND
On June 5, 2023, the City Council approved a Tentative Map (TM 21-02) to subdivide a
10.18-acre site into six parcels at 6970 Camino Arroyo (Resolution 2023-40).
The project proposes to develop 10.18 acres of vacant land within Gilroy Crossings Commercial/Industrial Planned Unit Development (PUD), which is located southeast of Highway 101 and Highway 152. The Gilroy Crossings PUD boundary encompasses approximately 68 acres that include the subject site, Gilroy Crossing Shopping Center on the west side of Camino Arroyo and two small industrial parcels south of Holloway Road. The project site was designated for future development as Phase II of the PUD.
The project proposes to develop the site with a drive-through restaurant, gas station, two hotels and two future industrial buildings
The applicant submitted for the Final Map on October 25, 2024 and is working towards finalizing the map for recordation.
As conditioned, the approved tentative map shall expire twenty-four (24) months from the approval date and may be extended pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act if the Final Map is not approved prior to expiration. The approved tentative map is set to expire on June 5, 2025. The associated Architectural and Site Review approval (AS 21-13) will expire 12 months after the Final Map is recorded, if building permits have not been obtained during the 12-month time period.
ANALYSIS
Staff has determined that approval of the extension is warranted based on the following:
Municipal Code and Subdivision Map Act: The Subdivision Map Act, Government Code §66452.6(a), mandates an initial two-year life for a tentative map, which may be extended for an additional 12 months. Gilroy City Code Section 21.41(i) provides that the City Council, at its discretion, may extend the approval of a tentative map for an additional 12 months. Moreover, Government Code §66452.6(e) provides that a local agency may extend a Tentative Map for an additional period or periods not to exceed six years. This provision preempts City regulations that limit the number of extensions to three years. Although granting an extension of the tentative map is discretionary, under Government Code §66452.6(e), the courts have held that the local agency’s discretion is limited to the length of the extension and that the local agency cannot add new conditions to the tentative map. Under Government Code §66498.1, a local agency may condition or deny a permit, approval, extension, or entitlement only if it determines any of the following:
(1) A failure to do so would place the residents of the subdivision or the immediate community, or both, in a condition dangerous to their health or safety, or both.
(2) The condition or denial is required in order to comply with state or federal law.
There are no known specific health or safety concerns at this time, nor are any identified with the original approval. Staff is recommending approval, and there are no proposed modifications to the conditions. The request would extend approval through June 5, 2026. During this time, the applicant would need to complete the process for recordation of a final map. The applicant may also request an additional 12-month extension prior to the new expiration date. This is the first request for an extension.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may deny the time extension. In this case, the City Council would need to make the necessary findings to deny a tentative map. Staff does not recommend this option.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
No fiscal impacts are associated with this request for a tentative map approval extension. Fees have been paid by the applicant to cover the staff resources necessary to process this request and review the associated final map and improvement plans.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Extensions are legislative actions that do not require notice and hearing.
NEXT STEPS
Upon grant of the extension request, the applicant may continue with the final map process.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy Setting the Tax Rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26 (FY26) for the Gilroy Community Library Project Bonds
Meeting Date: June 2, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Finance
Submitted by: Harjot Sangha, Finance Director
Prepared by: Harjot Sangha, Finance Director
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Develop a Financially Resilient Organization
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy setting the tax rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26 with respect to the general obligation bonds for the Gilroy Community Library Project.
BACKGROUND
On November 4, 2008, the voters of the City of Gilroy approved ballot Measure F for the construction of public library improvements adjacent to City Hall. Measure F provided for the authorization to issue general obligation bonds for up to $37 million. It was anticipated that the authorization would be split between two series of bonds. The first series was issued in May 2009, and the second series was issued in August 2010.
There is $3 million remaining in unissued authorization available to the City for future use. The City has spent the majority of both the Series A and Series B bond proceeds on the construction of the new library and other library facility improvements. There is approximately $5 million remaining of the bond proceeds.
The bonds were refinanced in FY20 (2019 Series A and 2019 Series B) to take advantage of the low-interest rate environment. The refinancing saved property owners’ interest costs since the refinancing included a lower interest rate on the principal, thus
lowering the required levy rate.
As of June 1, 2025, the outstanding principal balance on Series A is $6.6 million and is expected to mature in February 2039. As of June 1, 2025, the outstanding principal balance on Series B is $14.7 million and is expected to mature in February 2040.
ANALYSIS
Staff recommends the FY26 tax rate of $0.0125 per $100 of assessed valuation, which represents a tax of approximately $12.50 per $100,000 of assessed valuation (after applicable homeowner exemptions). As the assessed valuations of properties increase over time, the ad valorem tax rate for the library bond will decrease. The prior year’s rate was $0.013 per $100 of assessed valuation.
ALTERNATIVES
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
1. Adopting the tax rate for FY26 will slightly decrease the levy amount for taxpayers from the prior year and will ensure the County can assess, collect, and remit to the City the levied amounts promptly to pay off the debt service due in FY26.

WHEREAS, more than two-thirds of the electors voting at a special municipal election held on November 4, 2008, voted for a proposition authorizing the issuance by the City of general obligation bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $37,000,000 (the “Bonds”) for the purpose of providing funds for the acquisition, construction, and improvement of public library facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City has previously issued the initial series of the Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $10,500,000 on May 5, 2009, and the second series of the Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $23,500,000 on August 3, 2010; and WHEREAS, the City approved the refinancing of the two series of bonds on May 20, 2019 (providing for a reduction in bond debt service starting in tax collection year 2019/20) with the issuance of the 2019 Refunding General Obligation Bonds; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 43632 of the California Government Code, the City Council is required annually to levy and collect a tax sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds coming due and payable before the proceeds of a tax levied at the next general tax levy will be available; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that in order to provide sufficient funds to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds coming due and payable on February 1, 2026, and August 1, 2026, it is necessary to levy a tax upon all taxable property in the City at the rate of 0.0125% of assessed valuation, based on the estimated assessed values for all rolls (secured, unsecured and utility) for fiscal year 2025-2026.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Gilroy as follows:
Section 1. Levy of Tax. The City Council hereby determines that the tax rate necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds coming due and payable on February 1, 2026, and August 1, 2026, is 0.0125% of the assessed valuation, and such tax rate shall be and is hereby levied in accordance with all applicable requirements of law.
Section 2. Collection of Tax. The Finance Director is hereby directed to forward a copy of this Resolution to the Auditor-Controller of Santa Clara County, and to the Board of Supervisors of the County, and to take such actions and execute such documents as may be required to cause the tax rate set forth in Section 1 to be placed on the 2025-2026 property tax bill and collected by the County.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Receive Budget Update for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY25) and Adopt a Budget Amendment Resolution
Meeting Date: June 2, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Finance
Submitted by: Harjot Sangha, Finance Director
Prepared by: Carina Baksa, Finance Manager
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Develop a Financially Resilient Organization
RECOMMENDATION
1) Receive Budget Report for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (FY25). 2) Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy Amending the Appropriations for FY25.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides the City Council with a budget update on FY25 as of the end of the Third Quarter (March 31, 2025) and increases appropriations in FY25 in various funds.
BACKGROUND
The FY25 budget was adopted on June 5, 2023 as part of the City’s Biennial Budget process and amended on November 18, 2024 as part of the Mid-Cycle report to Council. Activity for FY25 began on July 1, 2024. This report provides a financial summary of activity for the period of July 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025. Additionally, as part of ongoing monitoring of Budget and actual expenditures, a resolution to amend the FY25 budget for various funds is included in this staff report to adjust the budgets appropriately and meet the operational needs of the departments.
ANALYSIS
General Fund
Revenues
General Fund revenues received through the third quarter of FY25 total $42.0 million.
This is approximately 60% of the amended budget of $69.9 million. Revenues received up to this point are typically under the 75% fiscal-year mark, especially tax revenues, due to the lag between when the economic transaction occurs and when the City’s revenues are received. The table below provides a breakdown of General Fund Revenues by category and a comparison of the actual revenues to the amended budget.
Sales Tax - The City receives its sales tax revenue approximately two months after funds are collected by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. The FY25 budget for sales tax revenue is $21.8 million, of which $12.1 million (56%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. Receipts reflect collections through the month of January 2025. Based on the latest quarterly sales tax report, the City’s sales tax revenue for FY25 is expected to come in at $20.5 million, approximately $1.3 million under budget. Initially, the sales tax adopted budget was $22.4 million; staff included a downward adjustment of $0.6 million to the Sales Tax budget as part of the comprehensive mid-cycle adjustments approved by the City Council on November 18, 2024. The latest projected shortfall of $1.3 million is in addition to the $0.6 million adjustment made previously.
Property Tax - The City’s property tax revenues are received at various intervals from Santa Clara County and are not distributed in even amounts. Property tax installments are typically due in November and April of each fiscal year. The FY25 budget for property tax revenue is $21.2 million of which $11.9 million (56%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. Much of the annual property tax revenue is received in the second
half of the fiscal year, including the annual ERAF payment. At this time, property tax revenue is projected to come in at the budgeted amount.
Utility Users Tax (UUT) - Utility taxes are assessed against the value of energy and telecommunications, such as gas, electricity, steam, cable, and phone charges. The current tax rates are 4.5% for telecommunications and 5% for gas and electricity. The City’s UUT revenues are received one month after the revenues are earned. The FY25 budget for utility user tax is $6.7 million, of which $5.0 million (75%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. Receipts to date represent revenue through the month of February 2025. The UUT is projected to exceed the budget by approximately $1.2 million, for a total year-end projection of $7.9 million.
Franchise Tax - The City receives franchise tax revenue from three franchise types, including gas and electric, cable tv, and garbage/refuse. The FY25 budget for franchise tax is $2.5 million, of which $0.8 million (33%) has been received as of March 31, 2025, which primarily reflects Recology franchise payments. The larger portion of franchise tax comes from PG&E, which remits payments once a year and is typically received in April and will be reported as part of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. This revenue source is projected to come in line with the budget for FY25.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) - The City’s TOT revenue comes from a 9% tax on hotel room rentals under 30 days, as well as from some of the RV parks in the City. The hotels pay approximately one month after the quarter ends. The FY25 budget for TOT is $2.0 million, of which $0.8 million (40%) has been received as of March 31, 2025.
Returns for the third quarter are expected to be received in April and will be reported in subsequent quarterly reports to the Council.
Business License - The FY25 budget for Business License fees is $0.8 million, of which $0.7 million (86%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. The business license revenue is tied to the timing of the annual renewal of the license and any new business licenses issued, typically in June and December of each year.
Other General Fund revenues - This category comprises departmental service charges, general administration charges, fines and forfeitures, and other intergovernmental revenues. The FY25 budget for this aggregate revenue category is $14.8 million, of which $10.5 million (71%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. At this time, this revenue is expected to come in as budgeted.
Expenditures
General Fund expenditures through the third quarter of FY25 total $53.3 million. This is approximately 68% of the amended budget of $78.9 million. The table below provides a breakdown by department and function comparing the actual expenditures for the first three quarters to the amended budget. Generally, departments are slightly below their expenditure target for this time of the fiscal year, which will result in typical year-end expenditure savings.
Non-General Fund
Revenues
The City has approximately 60 non-general funds. The information (revenues and expenditures) for these funds is presented in the table below in aggregate, by fund type, along with a brief description of what is included in these categories. Non-General Fund revenues received as of March 31, 2025, total $60.8 million or 49% of the amended budget of $124.8 million. Revenues received up to this point are usually under the 75% fiscal-year mark due to the timing of receipts, especially for special revenue and capital/development funds.
Special Revenues – The primary source of this fund type is intergovernmental funds in the manner of tax sharing or grants from Federal, State, County, and other regional governments. For the City of Gilroy, these Special Revenues provide funding for transportation (Gas Taxes, Vehicle Registration, and Measure B), public safety (Proposition 172 sales tax, Gang Prevention, and regional task forces), and community development (CDBG and housing) among others. The FY25 budget for Special Revenues is $13.8 million of which $5.0 million (36%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. Many of these revenues are based on quarterly claims submitted by staff; therefore, it is normal for this type of revenue to be received in the next quarter than when it was earned.
Recreation – The Recreation Fund receives an annual allocation of $1.5 million from the General Fund in addition to the revenues it acquires from charges for services or grants related to recreation programs. The services provided by Recreation are seasonal, typically most active during spring and summer. The FY25 budget for Recreation revenue is $2.3 million of which $1.7 million (74%) has been received as of March 31, 2025.
Capital/Development Impact Funds – Revenues in the Capital and Development Impact Funds are primarily generated by new development approvals and the required contributions to offset infrastructure impacts. Revenue depends on the size and impact of the development and the timing of the project; therefore, revenue is not evenly distributed throughout the fiscal year. The FY25 budget for Capital/Development Funds revenue is $52.6 million of which $11.2 million (21%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. In discussion with the Public Works Department, large development projects anticipated in FY25 have not commenced, and thus will likely not materialize in FY25.
Debt Service – Debt Service funds receive their revenue from annual property tax levies and/or via interfund transfers from other funds and are typically aligned with the timing of the debt service payment. The FY25 budget for Debt Service Funds revenue is $5.0 million, of which $3.3 million (66%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. The property tax levies for the Library Bond debt service are received similar to the General Fund property tax distribution, with the majority of it in Q2 through Q4.
Internal Service – Internal Service Funds (Information Technology (IT), Fleet, Facilities, Worker’s Compensation, and Liability Funds) primarily receive their revenue from charges to other departments and funds in the City. The FY25 budget for Internal Service Funds revenue is $18.0 million, of which $12.4 million (69%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. These charges are assessed based on the budget, and it is expected that the full budgeted amount will be received.
Sewer – The FY25 budget for Sewer revenue is $18.2 million, of which $14.4 million (79%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. The Sewer Fund is tracking slightly above budget for the period. The Sewer Enterprise Fund generates its revenue from utility user charges. At this time, it is expected that the revenue will come in above budget.
Water – The FY25 budget for Water revenue is $14.8 million, of which $12.9 million (87%) has been received as of March 31, 2025. The Water Fund is tracking above budget for the period. Like the Sewer Fund, the Water Fund generates its revenues from utility user charges and it fluctuates based on consumption levels. At this time, it is expected that the revenue will come in above the budget.
Expenditures
Non-General Fund expenditures as of March 31, 2025 total $55.1 million or 36% of the amended budget of $154.0 million. The table below presents the Non-General Fund expenditures by Fund Type.
Special Revenues – The primary expenditures in this fund type are for roads and sidewalk infrastructure, followed by grant-related expenditures for the Police Department. As of March 31, 2025, expenditures are at $3.4 million (21%) of the budgeted amount of $16.1 million. It is anticipated that these funds will be encumbered and/or expensed in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, as several key projects are out for bid and subsequently pending award.
Recreation – As of March 31, 2025, expenditures are at $1.2 million (52%) of the budgeted amount of $2.2 million. The services provided by Recreation are seasonal, typically most active during spring and the summer therefore staff expects funds to be encumbered and expenditures to occur in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.
Capital/Development – As of March 31, 2025, expenditures are at $9.3 million (21%) of the budgeted amount of $44.0 million. The below target spending is primarily in the capital outlay. Several capital projects are currently in their design phases. It is anticipated that these funds will be encumbered and/or expended in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. A notable underspending is due to the Ice Center project, which was anticipated to commence construction in FY25, and is not expected to occur in next
fiscal year.
Debt Service – As of March 31, 2025, expenditures are at $4.4 million (89%) of the budgeted amount of $4.9 million. The debt service payments typically include semiannual interest payments, and one annual principal payment. These expenses are expected to come in at budgeted levels.
Internal Service - As of March 31, 2025, expenditures are at $11.6 million (49%) of the budgeted amount of $23.7 million. The City’s internal services funds are IT, Fleet, Facilities, Equipment Outlay, Worker’s Compensation, and Liability Funds. These expenses are expected to come in under budgeted levels, primarily in capital outlay for the two fire stations renovations, which are now expected to occur in the next fiscal year.
Sewer – As of March 31, 2025, expenditures are at $13.9 million (52%) of the budgeted amount of $26.5 million. Approximately $9.8 million of this budget is related to the operations of the South County Regional Wastewater Authority and the Plant’s Expansion project, which is currently under construction. The fund is expected to come in under budget, primarily in capital outlay for projects that will not be completed in the next fiscal year.
Water – As of March 31, 2025, expenditures are at $11.2 million (31%) of the budgeted amount of $36.5 million. Approximately $19.1 million of this budget is related to capital outlay projects, several of which are currently in their design phases, and the fund is expected to come in under budget primarily in capital outlay for projects that will enter the construction phase in the next fiscal year.
Budget Adjustments
As part of the ongoing monitoring of actual expenses against the adopted budgets, Finance is recommending budget adjustments be made to the various funds listed below. These adjustments align the budgets to the year-end projected needs of the Departments in their current operations.

FY25 Recommended Budget Adjustments
Fund 229 – The Fund had no planned expenditures at the FY25 budget adoption.
However, a nominal amount of $3,000 is intended to be utilized for the Special Operations Division of the Police Department in the current fiscal year.
Fund 250 – The Fund has budgeted expenditures of $388,995. In FY26 and FY27 budget development processes, it was determined that the Fund will require a budget adjustment of approximately $89,000. The adjustment is primarily related to a refund of overpayment on a Below Market Rate (BMR) housing sale in the prior year, erroneously remitted by the escrow company.
Fund 500 - the budget adjustment of the nominal $1,213 is recommended to account for higher-than-expected arbitrage and consultant fees required for the overall administration of the Gilroy Library’s Bonded debt.
ALTERNATIVES
There are no recommended alternatives to the receipt of the Third Quarter Report for FY25. Council could refuse to approve the budget amendment. This is not recommended as the expenditures have been experienced and the budget amendments are needed to balance the funds.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The fiscal impact of the budget amendments proposed include $3,000 in Fund 229, $89,114 in Fund 250, and $1,213 in Fund 500.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Adopt a Resolution Approving an Agreement with Caltrans for the Maintenance of Emergency Vehicle Detection Systems (EVDS) on State Highways in the City of Gilroy and
Authorizing the City Administrator to Execute the Agreement Meeting Date: June 2, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: John Doughty, Public Works Director
Prepared by: Julie Oates, Engineer
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Maintain and Improve City Infrastructure
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt a resolution approving the Agreement for the Maintenance of Emergency Vehicle Detection Systems (EVDS) in the City of Gilroy.
2. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the Agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Gilroy currently maintains the intersection safety lighting and traffic signals (including emergency vehicle detection systems (EVDS) where applicable) at the 11 Caltrans-owned signalized intersections along State Route 152 from Santa Teresa Blvd to the US101/Leavesley Rd interchange. Nine of these 11 intersections are equipped with EVDS to enable first-response vehicles to request traffic signal preemption.
As part of the permitting process for two future traffic signals on First Street, Caltrans is enacting their new policy which requires local agencies to enter into a separate agreement for the maintenance of EVDS. The new agreement will formalize the City’s maintenance responsibilities at the intersections that are already equipped with EVDS and maintained by the City, and will add EVDS-maintenance responsibilities at EVDSequipped intersections that the City does not currently maintain.
The Agreement was provided by Caltrans and is similar to other agreements and
amendments between Caltrans and other public agencies across the state. As such, the adoption of this resolution and agreement are formalities that require concurrence from the City. Staff recommends the City Council adopt the resolution to approve the Agreement and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Agreement.
BACKGROUND
The City of Gilroy and the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) have entered into similar agreements in the past, such as the 1990 “Agreement for the Maintenance of State Highways in the City of Gilroy”, which delegated to the City of Gilroy the maintenance of the intersection safety lighting and traffic signals (including emergency vehicle detection systems (EVDS) where applicable) at the 11 signalized intersections along State Route 152 from Santa Teresa Blvd to the US101/Leavesley Rd interchange. Nine of these 11 intersections are equipped with EVDS to enable firstresponse vehicles to request traffic signal preemption. This same equipment can also be programmed to allow transit preemption. Two of these 11 intersections (First St/Westwood Dr and First St/Miller Ave/Wayland Ln) are not currently equipped with EVDS.
There are two new traffic signals (First St/Kern Ave and First St/Kelton Dr) currently in design on First Street (SR152). When completed, these traffic signals (including EVDS and intersection safety lighting) will also be maintained by the City of Gilroy. Since the two new traffic signals will be in Caltrans’ right-of-way, City Staff are currently working with Caltrans on the permitting process for the two new traffic signals.
As part of the permitting process for the two new traffic signals, Caltrans is enacting their new policy which requires local agencies to enter into a separate agreement for the maintenance of EVDS. The new agreement will formalize the City’s maintenance responsibilities at the intersections that are already equipped with EVDS and maintained by the City, and will add EVDS-maintenance responsibilities at EVDSequipped intersections that the City does not currently maintain. The City entered into a three-year maintenance agreement with Cal-West Lighting and Signal Maintenance, Inc. in 2024. The scope of work includes maintenance of EVDS. Staff will monitor the costs associated with expanded maintenance on the newly added facilities to ascertain if supplemental funding will be needed for FY26 and FY27.
ANALYSIS
The new Agreement expands the City’s maintenance responsibilities to include the EVDS at 5 additional intersections under Caltrans’ jurisdiction (the SR152/Camino Arroyo intersection, 2 intersections at the SR152/US101 Tenth St interchange, and 2 intersections at the US101/Monterey Rd interchange). A summary of the intersections included in the EVDS Maintenance Agreement is attached to this report.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The City is already paying for the maintenance of EVDS at 11 intersections along SR152 (from Santa Teresa Blvd to the US101/Leavesley Rd interchange). The maintenance of the EVDS at 5 additional intersections is estimated to cost approximately $5,000 per year and will be incorporated within the City's existing Signal and Streetlight Maintenance contract, which is funded by Gas Taxes (Fund 205).

Decisions by the Authority whether to assume control of the negotiation, investigation, defense, appeal, or settlement of a claim, or whether or not coverage exists for a particular claim or part of a claim shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Authority (Board).
An appeal to the Board from a coverage decision must be made in writing to the Authority by the Covered Party within sixty (60) days of receipt of such decision.
The Board will take action on any such written appeal within sixty (60) days after its receipt or at the next scheduled Board meeting following receipt, whichever is later. The action taken by the Board will include written notice to the Covered Party of the Board’s final decision.
After exhausting its right to appeal, the Covered Party may pursue binding arbitration against the Authority or, alternatively, may file an action for Declaratory Relief to resolve the coverage dispute. The Covered Party shall provide prompt written notice to the Board as to which approach the Covered Party will take.
If Declaratory Relief is the approach elected, such action shall be filed in the Superior Court within 90 days of the Covered Party’s receipt of the Board’s final decision and any unexpired statute of limitations shall be tolled until expiration of that 90-day period. If the
CARMA 2024-GLPage 21
Declaratory Relief Action is not thereafter filed in the Superior Court within the time limitations of this paragraph, notwithstanding any statute of limitations provided in the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise, the Covered Party shall be deemed to have waived and be barred from pursuing any further relief, adjudication, action, arbitration or appeal regarding the coverage dispute.
The Declaratory Relief Action shall be limited to seeking a judicial interpretation of this Memorandum, and, as appropriate, determination and declaration of the amount, if any, to be paid by the Authority for Ultimate Net Loss under this Memorandum. No other legal theories or causes of action relating to or arising out of the coverage dispute shall be allowed, and any such other legal theories or causes of action are expressly waived. Neither the Authority or the Covered Party shall be entitled to a trial by jury nor shall either be entitled to any Damages or relief other than as provided in this paragraph. The Declaratory Relief action shall be subject to appeal before an appellate court as provided by California Law.
If the Authority and the Covered Party agree in writing, then the coverage dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration. In that event both the Authority and the Covered Party agree that each shall be deemed to have waived any right to pursue any adjudication or relief as to the coverage dispute in any other forum and the arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, and shall not be subject to appeal except as provided for in California Code of Civil Procedure sections 1286.2 and 1286.6.
The Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure including sections 1283.05 relating to depositions and discovery. It shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator having at least ten years of prior experience arbitrating group self-insured risk pooling disputes under California Law. No arbitrator shall be employed or affiliated with the Authority, Covered Party or any of their attorneys.
Selection of the arbitrator shall take place within (30) calendar days from the receipt of the request for arbitration by mutual agreement of the Authority and Covered Party. If not agreed within (30) days, an immediate petition to the Superior Court for appointment of a neutral arbitrator having the above reference qualifications shall be filed by the Authority.
The arbitration hearing shall commence within (60) calendar days from the date of the mutual selection or court appointment of the arbitrator.
Each party shall bear equally the cost of the selected or appointed arbitrator. In addition, each party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses of arbitration.
Except for notification of appointment and as provided for in the California Code of Civil Procedure, there shall be no communication between the “parties” or their attorneys with the arbitrator relating to the subject of the arbitration other than at oral hearings in the presence of all parties and their attorneys.
If any coverage dispute results in a settlement, or in a judgment or arbitration award, the amount paid by the Authority shall be the Ultimate Net Loss under this Memorandum, and shall be considered and treated as any other payment of Ultimate Net Loss by the Authority as if there had been no coverage dispute.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Gilroy to Establish the Election of Members of the City Council by Six Districts, Establish the Boundaries, Identification Numbers, and the Election Order of Each District, Establish a Residency Requirement to Seek a Council Seat from Each
District, and Related Actions
Meeting Date: June 2, 2025
From: Andy Faber, City Attorney
Department: Administration
Submitted by: Andy Faber
Prepared by: Andy Faber
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Not Applicable
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the ordinance.
BACKGROUND
The City of Gilroy ("City") currently has an at-large election system, where each of the City's six Councilmembers are elected to staggered four-year terms by voters throughout the City. The mayor is also elected at-large to a four-year term.
1.Letter Alleging Violation of the CVRA and the City’s Resolution of Intent to Transition from At-Large to District-Based Elections.
On December 16, 2024, the City received a letter alleging a violation of the California Voting Rights Act (“CVRA”). The letter asserts that the City is in violation of the CVRA because the City's councilmember elections are at-large as opposed to by district and there exists racial polarization and vote dilution. On February 24, 2025, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring its intent to transition to a district-based electoral system commencing with the November 2026 Election.
2. Public Hearings, Public Input, and Community Workshops.
On March 3, 2025, and March 17, 2025, the City Council held the first and second of five public hearings required for the City’s transition to by-district elections. Public Hearings Nos. 1 and 2 were held prior to any draft maps being drawn. Redistricting Partners, the City’s retained demographer, made presentations at both public hearings regarding the CVRA, the transition process from at-large to district elections, the potential composition and number of districts, as well as the public input process.
Members of the public provided input at both hearings regarding communities of interest in and the various attributes of the City of Gilroy to aid in the districting process. At the close of the March 17th hearing, having considered the public's input and the presentation by Redistricting Partners, the City Council provided direction to the demographer to begin drawing draft maps for a by-district electoral system comprised of six districts and an at-large mayor.
In addition, on March 25 and March 29, 2025, the City hosted two workshops—offering childcare and language translation — where Redistricting Partners gave a presentation on districting, facilitated a Q&A session, engaged the public in map-drawing, and gathered additional public input.
On April 7, 2025, Public Hearing No. 3 was held to receive public and City Council feedback on the first set of draft maps. After considering this public input and the presentation by the demographer, the City Council provided direction to Redistricting Partners on proposed revisions to the draft maps to be considered and new maps drawn.
On April 21, 2025, Public Hearing No. 4 was held to receive public and City Council feedback on the second set of draft maps. After considering this public input and the presentation by the demographer, the City Council provided direction to Redistricting Partners on proposed revisions to the draft maps to be considered and new maps drawn.
Two weeks later, on May 5, 2025, Public Hearing No. 5 was held to receive public and City Council feedback on the second set of draft maps. After considering this public input and the presentation by the demographer, the City Council provided direction to Redistricting Partners on the final two maps for consideration at the final public hearing No. 6.
On May 19, 2025, Public Hearing No. 6 was held to receive public feedback on the selection of the final map, as well as the order of elections for the districts, and potential residency requirements. After receiving public testimony, the City Council introduced an ordinance selecting Draft Map F; selecting district #4, #5, and #6 to be determined during the 2026 election and district #1, #2, and #3 to be determined during the 2028 election; and establishing a residency requirement of 30 days in the district before filing papers are issued to run for the respective Councilmember seat.
3. Draft Map Development.
Based on public input and City Council feedback at (the prior hearings and) the May 5 Public Hearing No. 5, the City Council selected two draft maps (Draft D and Draft F) for final consideration at the May 19, 2025 Public Hearing. These draft maps were designed to incorporate and address the public’s concerns and the direction provided by the City Council, all the while ensuring that the draft maps comply with both the CVRA and the Federal Voting Rights Act, as well as the sound map drawing/ demographic principles and meeting the requirements of the Fair Maps Act. These draft maps incorporated the underlying Census tract geography to establish the boundaries of individual City Council districts. In drawing these maps, every care was taken to honor neighborhoods and communities of interest as identified through public input.
Furthermore, each of the maps complied with the 10% total deviation requirement between the largest to smallest district by population. Further explanation of the public input received and analysis that went into drafting each of these draft maps were provided by Redistricting Partners on May 19, 2025, at Public Hearing No. 6. These map drafts had been posted on the City's website since Thursday, May 8, 2025.
On May 19, 2025, at Public Hearing No. 6, draft Maps D and F were considered by the City Council.After the public provided their input on these two maps, Draft Map F was selected for adoption as the six-district electoral map for City Council elections.
4. Other Matters/ Order of Elections & Residency Requirements.
After the selection of Draft Map F, the City Council was also required to determine the order of elections – that is, which three districts will be on the ballot in November of 2026, and which three districts will be on the ballot in November of 2028, as City Council terms are staggered under state law. The City Council, in the spirit of the California Voting Rights Act, selected Districts #4, #5, and #6 to be on the ballot for 2026, and Districts #1, #2, and #3 to be on the ballot in 2028.
Finally, the City Council also considered the matter of whether candidates for City Council must be residents of the district in which they seek election for any period of time prior to filing their nomination papers. Pursuant to Government Code section 34882, a candidate running for a city councilmember position is not eligible to hold that office unless they reside in the geographical area making up the district from which they are elected at the time their nomination papers are issued. The City Council selected a minimum residency requirement of thirty (30) days in the district at the time of their nomination papers are issued.
The City Council voted to read the ordinance by title only and waive future readings, and voted to introduce an ordinance on May 19, 2025 which incorporated the above decisions, and is now before Council for adoption.
ANALYSIS
The analysis of the options were discussed and included in the staff reports and materials during the six public hearings and two community meetings, and are available online. A summary is included in the background section above.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may reject or amend the ordinance. This is not recommended, as the ordinance was crafted after considerable public input, and any changes to the ordinance would require a new ordinance to be created.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There is no cost for the adoption of the ordinance. Future election costs and any impacts on them from districting will be determined in the preparation phase of the next election in 2026.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The City conducted extensive public outreach, incluing a dedicated website, six public hearings, two community meetings, and social media outreach.
NEXT STEPS
If approved, the City Clerk's Office will then transmit the ordinance to the Registrar of Voters for Santa Clara County and work with the County election office to implement the provisions of the ordinance.

Agenda Item Title: Approve the Purchase of a Modular Replacement Restroom for Las Animas Park to total $244,921, utilizing Sourcewell's Cooperative Purchasing Contract 081721-CXT.
Meeting Date: June 2, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: Matt Jones, Deputy Public Works Director
Prepared by: Matt Jones, Deputy Public Works Director
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Maintain and Improve City Infrastructure
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the purchase of one, four-stall modular restroom to replace one existing restroom at Las Animas Veterans Park. The purchase, totaling $244,921, will be made through Sourcewell’s Cooperative Purchasing Contract 081721-CXT.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of a modular four-stall replacement restroom for Las Animas Park from CXT, Inc. in the amount of $244,921, utilizing Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Contract #081721. The existing restroom, over 30 years old, has sustained significant damage from vandalism, arson, and aging, making maintenance increasingly difficult and costly. The proposed modular unit is a fire-resistant model, similar to the one successfully installed at Christmas Hill Park in 2023.
This purchase is funded through the FY 2025 Capital Improvement Program under Project No. 800960 (Citywide Park Re-roofing/Rehabilitation), with a total project budget of $350,000. The Sourcewell procurement process meets all competitive bidding requirements outlined in the City’s Purchasing Policy. With Council approval, the City Administrator will execute all necessary documents, and staff will coordinate with the
vendor to initiate production and delivery, which is estimated to take approximately six months.
BACKGROUND
The existing restroom facility at Las Animas Park was installed over 30 years ago and has significantly exceeded its useful life. Over time, the structure has become increasingly difficult to maintain and is frequently subjected to vandalism. As a result, a considerable amount of City staff time is dedicated to ongoing maintenance and emergency repairs, diverting resources from other priority park operations.
To address these persistent issues, staff recommends the replacement of the existing structure with a new, fire-resistant, four-stall modular restroom facility. The proposed unit would be constructed of concrete mortar-lined block, treated with anti-graffiti coating, and equipped with four individual stalls, each featuring durable stainless steel fixtures to enhance sanitation, safety, and longevity. The current restroom structure includes a storage room which is used by the Gilroy Tennis Club. Staff will be meeting with the Gilroy Tennis Club to identify a location near the courts for a replacement shed.
The proposed model is similar to the modular restroom installed by CXT, Inc. at Christmas Hill Park in 2023, located just 2.1 miles from Las Animas Park. That facility has performed well and withstood heavy park use while significantly reducing maintenance demands.
This project is included in the adopted FY 2025 Capital Improvement Program under Citywide Park Re-roofing/Rehabilitation (Project No. 800960) and supports the City’s ongoing efforts to upgrade aging infrastructure and improve the overall quality and safety of park amenities.
Staff is concurrently preparing to rehabilitate the restrooms near the pavilion. These restrooms are structurally sound, but are in need of work to improve user experience, cleaning and vandalism resistance.
ANALYSIS
CXT, Inc. was selected to provide the modular restroom facility through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. Sourcewell, formerly known as the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), operates under the guidelines of the Uniform Municipal Contracting Law to establish nationally leveraged and competitively solicited purchasing contracts. CXT, Inc. was awarded a contract by Sourcewell following a national Request for Proposals (RFP) for playground and recreation-related equipment, accessories, and supplies. This competitive selection process ensures that the City receives high-quality
products at favorable pricing without the need to conduct a separate formal bid process.
CXT modular restrooms have a proven track record in Gilroy. The City currently has two CXT restrooms in service—one installed at Miller Park in 2019 and another at Christmas Hill Park in 2023. Both facilities have demonstrated durability, resistance to vandalism, and reduced maintenance requirements.
The proposed restroom replacement at Las Animas Park is part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), specifically Project No. 800960 – Citywide Park Reroofing/Rehabilitation. This CIP effort allocated $350,000 per fiscal year to replace aging park restroom facilities that are beyond their useful life, constructed with outdated materials, or subject to recurring vandalism and internal damage. The Las Animas Park restroom replacement is aligned with this program’s objectives and will help improve park safety, functionality, and the overall user experience.
By utilizing the Sourcewell contract and selecting a proven vendor such as CXT, Inc., the City ensures a timely, cost-effective, and long-lasting solution for improving critical park infrastructure.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may reject the purchase through the Sourcewell contract. This is not recommended as there would be additional staff time for conducting a formal procurement process, and potential further delays in instituting the maintenance and repairs required to keep the restroom operating effectively, and likely would not result in a better proposal or cost savings.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Funding for the purchase of a new restroom is programmed in the FY 25 Landscape Maintenance Budget (1005510) of the General Fund (100) at $350,000. The proposed award amount is $244,921. The total pricing associated with the purchase of the modular restroom is as follows:
Description Costs
Sourcewell Base Price for Restroom
(options listed in quote)
$109,566
Added Options $74,900
Engineering and State Fees $8,500
Transportation Costs to Site $36,478
Sales Tax $15,477
Total Purchase Price $244,921
PUBLIC OUTREACH
This item was included on the publicly posted agenda for this meeting.
NEXT STEPS
With Council’s approval, staff will finalize the purchase of the modular restroom at Las Animas Park and will work with CXT, Inc. to schedule the manufacturing and delivery of the product. CXT, Inc. estimates the lead time for the delivery of the restroom to be approximately six months.

STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Not Applicable
RECOMMENDATION
1. Award the purchase of seven 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4WD Crew Cab Trucks for the total cost of $393,744 to Winner Chevrolet using the State of California Statewide Contract 1-22-23-20-D; and
2. Authorize the City Administrator to execute purchase documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council approved the purchase of seven vehicles for Public Works and Utilities in the FY24 - FY25 budget. Six of the seven vehicles are replacements and one is a new vehicle. After researching vehicle options and meeting with staff in Public Works and Utilities, the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4WD Crew-Cab was selected as the replacement vehicle with the best functionality for the needs of the Engineering Division, Water Section, Wastewater Section, and Parks & Landscape Section.
BACKGROUND
These new trucks will replace the following six vehicles:
Year/Make Mileage
2004 Ford Ranger 103,000
2007 Ford Ranger 171,400
2007 Ford Ranger 130,000
2011 Ford Ranger 145,000
2008 Ford F250 130,000
2011 Ford F250 102,000
The seventh truck is an addition to the fleet to be used by an inspector position that was added back to Engineering staffing (prior vehicle used was previously surplussed out due to mileage, age, and overall condition of vehicle).
The vehicles listed above have reached the end of their useful life based on mileage, age, and condition of the vehicle. These vehicles are all experiencing various mechanical and physical part failures, and replacement parts are becoming difficult to obtain.
Industry best practices for effective and safe vehicles to be used as work trucks are six to ten years and 100,000 miles. There may be factors that cause these metrics to adjust up or down which can vary from vehicle to vehicle and agency to agency. All the replacement vehicles listed above exceed these best practice metrics.
ANALYSIS
Staff utilized a tag on bid from the State of California's Department of General Services, which allows a local government agency to tag on to the bid and the vehicle pricing.
Using a tag on bid ensures the City gets the best negotiated price, as these types of bids typically result in dealers offering very competitive pricing with the thought that an increased volume of sales will ultimately be more profitable for them.
Staff also looked to the local Gilroy Chevrolet dealer to compare pricing, as staff tries to keep purchases local when local pricing is competitive. However, for these trucks the local pricing was 7.95% higher, which is significant when purchasing seven trucks. The City's Purchasing Policy gives local vendors a 5% advantage, and the local quote exceeds this amount.
The winning bidder on the State of CA bid for this make and model of vehicle was Winner Chevrolet, located in Colfax, CA.
ALTERNATIVES
The alternative to tagging on to the Statewide bid/contract would be to go out to public bid directly. This process takes significant staff time and effort and will likely not result in a better price as economies of scale will not be present. As such, staff does not recommend this option.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The funding for these seven trucks is split between the FY25 Fleet fund, the Water and Wastewater funds, and the Community Facilities District (CFD) fund as follows:
• The FY 25 Fleet Fund budget: $84,374
• The FY 25 Water Fund budget: $196,872
• The FY 25 Wastewater Fund budget: $56,249
• The FY 25 CFD Fund budget: $56,249
The price per truck, including taxes and fees, is $56,249.10 as shown in the attached price quote.
The total cost of the seven trucks is $393,744.
NEXT STEPS
With Council approval, staff will proceed with finalizing an order for the seven trucks with Winner Chevrolet. Delivery is expected in about three-four months, if not sooner.
Once the vehicles are received and inspected, the City Administrator will execute the final sales contracts and payment will be issued.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Gilroy adopts an operating budget every two years, a biennial budget, which approves the spending plan for two fiscal years. The City Council is requested to adopt the recommended operating and capital budget for FY26 and FY26 developed by staff with consultation and direction from the City Council over several strategic planning sessions and the budget workshop.
BACKGROUND
The City commenced its biennial budget development in February 2025. To date, the City Council and staff have conducted several strategic planning sessions, a budget workshop, and a community meeting, which helped shape the final budget presented before the Council for adoption.
• February 12, 2025 - Strategic Planning Session One – The City Council reviewed the current priorities, goals, and focus areas for the next two years. • March 17, 2025 - Strategic Planning Session Two - Mid-Year Fiscal Report and General Fund Forecast Update – The City Council received an update on the City’s fiscal health, notably the General Fund, which provides the most discretionary services for the community.
• May 5, 2025 - Strategic Planning Session Three - The City Council focused discussion on enhancing Economic Development and Community Development. • May 12, 2025 - Recommended Budget Workshop - The City Council conducted a budget workshop to review the recommended FY26 & FY27 Operating and Capital Budgets, featuring presentations on budget highlights, departmental workplans, and the recommended CIP.
• May 14, 2025 - Budget Community Meeting - The City staff conducted an inperson community meeting to present and seek the community’s input on the recommended FY26 and FY27 Operating and Capital Budgets. • May 19, 2025 - Strategic Planning Session Four - The City Council concluded its Strategic Planning at the last of a series of discussions focused on public safety, unhoused, legislative agenda, and further refinement of the work plans for the next two years.
COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLANNING GOALS (Current)
At the beginning of the strategic planning process in January, Council reviewed their current strategic planning goals. Council may modify, add, delete, or accept the current priorities as written below:
• Develop a Financially Resilient Organization that Relies on Local Revenues and Resources
• Maintain and Improve City Infrastructure Including Streets, Facilities, and Incorporates Green Energy Practices
• Promote Economic Development Activities that Create Opportunities for Quality Employment and Increase the City's Tax Base
• Ensure Neighborhood Equity from City Services Including Public Safety, Streets, Parks, and Recreation
• Promote Availability of Safe, Affordable Housing for all Gilroy Residents Staff has received feedback from Councilmembers which include proposed amendments to the current list of Priorities. These three suggested amendments include:
1. Simplify by having two priorities which can be expanded once progress is made to achieve results:
a. Develop a Financially Resilient Organization that Doesn’t Simply Maintain Status Quo but Does So While Improving Both Services and Safety to Residents.
b. Promote Economic Development Activities that Increase the City's Tax Base (see first bullet)
2. Beautify Our City Gateways to Ensure that They are Free of Trash, Homeless Encampments, Weeds and Blight to Ensure that Residents and Visitors Entering Gilroy Feel Safe and Welcome.1
3. Hire a Seasoned Economic Development Director with a Proven Track Record that can Lead the Effort in Securing Promote Economic Development Activities that Create Opportunities for Quality Employment and Increase the City's Tax Base.2
Council may modify, add, delete, or accept the current priorities as written.
ANALYSIS
On May 19, 2025, the City Council concluded its strategic planning session at the last of a series of discussions focused on public safety, the unhoused, and discussing the Legislative Agenda and work plans. Below is a summary of the various Legislative Agenda and/or workplan initiatives that the Council identified to include on the FY26 and FY27 biennial workplan, in addition to existing legislative item carryovers:
• Legislative Agenda Additions:
o Communication and support for district-based elections o Review the Council policy on General Fund investment in recreation services and programs
o Consideration of revising the tobacco ordinance and a moratorium on new tobacco retailers during revision process
o Review of campaign finance laws, contribution limits, and enforcement options
1 Add this item as a priority
2 Amend existing Economic Development priority with the proposed language.
o Evaluate the annexation of the Gilroy Sports Park
o Develop a City policy on a regional approach to housing/unhoused challenges
o Develop a policy to direct General Fund annual surplus towards park infrastructure investment
o Review the City's transient occupancy tax ordinance
o Conduct Fire Department service evaluation
o Develop the Police Department’s three-year strategic plan and needs assessment, including service level evaluation
o Beautification efforts for Gilroy gateways - Highway 101 and Monterey o Highway cloverleafs/interchange maintenance responsibility o Update the Parks and Trails Master Plan
• Workplan Initiatives Added:
o Economic Development Department implementation
o Research options for Code Enforcement staffing/resources o Conduct a Recreation program/funding assessment to include the City’s swimming program and potential expansion of recreation offerings (nonfacilities) o Enhancements to Citywide communications and social media policy The aforementioned items have tentatively been added to the current Legislative Agenda and Departmental work plan items. It is recommended that the City Council further legislate and affirm whether any adjustments should be made, as these will become the foundation of the items to be accomplished. Once affirmed, staff will focus on these workplans and develop funding plans for specific items that require budgetary appropriations, which will be returned to the Council for approval as determined. The Legislative Agenda, attached to this staff report, is sorted alphabetically by the Responsible Department, and the Departmental Workplans are sorted by Category (Mandated, Core, and Discretionary). Once adopted, staff will then develop a plan to effectuate these items and provide quarterly updates to Council with status and estimated time of completion of the respective workplans.
Two items pertain to staffing and will impact the final adopted Position Control list.
These are Code Enforcement and a review of Recreation programs, services, and related General Fund investments. Staff recommend that the City Council approve the addition of two Code Enforcement Officer positions to the FY26 and FY27 Position Control list and appropriate an additional $180,000 in FY26 and $378,000 in FY27 for related expenditures from the General Fund for a two-year period. The FY26 amount assumes half a year of staffing cost, given the time to recruit and fill the positions. The positions will be further evaluated at the end of the two-year cycle for continuation based on resource availability. In addition, given that the Council desires to review its policy on recreation programs, services, and related General Fund investment as a workplan item, staff recommends holding off on adding the three Recreation positions (Recreation Coordinator, Recreation Supervisor, and Recreation Management Analyst) until those discussions are complete. This will result in a decrease of $412,683 in FY26 and $434,025 in FY27 within the Recreation Fund. Both items are also discussed in the
Position Control List section of this staff report below.
It is important to note that while these are the planned priorities and the legislative agenda items the City will focus on, over the next two years, there will be additional items that arise in the form of new mandates or community needs, which will require the City Council to re-prioritize those new items within these existing planned goals, priorities, and the legislative agenda.
Adopting the FY26 and FY27 operating and capital budgets ensures the continuity of the City's functions and services from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027.
Below is the summarized schedule of the City's budgeted revenues (sources) and expenditures (uses) by Fund Type.
The total recommended budget, for all funds, for FY26 and FY27 is $207.2 million and $206.6 million, respectively, with funding sources of $178.6 million in FY26 and $178.8 million in FY27. The budget includes utilization of fund balance of $28.6 million in FY26, and $27.8 million in FY27, primarily in the Capital Project Funds and the Enterprise Funds (Water and Wastewater) for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
General Fund
The recommended budget for the General Fund for FY26 and FY27 is $75.6 million and $78.3 million, respectively, with funding sources of $74.3 million in FY26 and $77.1 million in FY27. The General Fund budget includes the utilization of a net fund balance of $1.3 million in FY26 and $1.2 million in FY27 for one-time strategic investments in City parks, facilities, fleet, and public safety equipment. It should be noted that the budget is structurally balanced and utilizes fund balances (excess reserves) for the onetime investments in infrastructure. The City maintains expenditures aligning with our revenues and the required 30% minimum reserves for the General Fund.
General Fund Forecast
Below is the current General Fund forecast chart, identifying unassigned fund balance changes based on the recommended budget and projections going forward, based on
historical trends. The chart below illustrates the ending fund balance and the required total reserves for the respective fiscal years.
The above chart demonstrates that the General Fund maintains the required 30% of General Fund expenditure in our Economic Uncertainty and General Fund reserve and remains structurally balanced throughout the forecast. It should be noted that although the budget is structurally balanced, there is little margin for error, and should any of the City’s revenue estimates fall short, the City will have a negative operating margin that must be addressed through either revenue enhancements or service reductions.
The chart illustrates the one-time uses of the general fund balance approved in the current FY24 and FY25 budget cycle, and in FY26 and FY27, for $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Future uses of fund balance can be considered during the biennial budget timeline or future budget developments.
Appropriations Limits
Each fiscal year, the City must adopt an appropriation limit on the City’s expenditures made from tax sources in conformance with Proposition 4, otherwise known as the Gann Initiative. The appropriation limit sets the maximum upper limit of expenditure that the City may appropriate each year based on population, economic growth, and expenditures. The appropriation limit typically far exceeds the amount of actual City expenditures that are appropriated in the annual budget. Attached to this staff report is a resolution for adopting the FY26 Appropriation Limit. Based upon the formula set forth in Proposition 111 and using the California per Capita income growth of 6.44% and the City of Gilroy's population growth of 1.10%, the calculation demonstrates that the City is substantially below the maximum allowable appropriation limit of $263 million and should remain so in the foreseeable future.
The City's tax proceeds subject to the FY2025-2026 GANN Limit is equal to $54,704,362. The table below illustrates the calculation summary. The detailed worksheets to support the appropriations limit calculation are attached to this staff
report.
Position Control List
The attached recommended budget includes personnel adjustments to enhance the level of service for the residents of Gilroy. Attached to this staff report is a resolution establishing the approved Position Control List for FY26 and FY27. This resolution provides a firm count of the types and number of full-time positions approved by the City Council for staffing the operations of the City, and incorporates feedback from Council during the various strategic planning sessions. The proposed Position Control List does not include the three new recreation staff positions. Based on the legislative agenda which features significant policy matters relating to recreation for the City of Gilroy, the proposed additional positions will be re-evaluated in light of the policy direction that Council determines, and staff will then return to Council regarding any potential positions once those policy matters are decided by Council.
For FY26 and FY27, the attached, updated recommended budget includes a total of 298 positions and include the addition or reclassification of the following positions:
• Shifted Community Coordinator position from Recreation to the Police Department in support of the Youth Task Force Program. (General Fund) • Added one Fire Division Chief to the Fire Department. (Construction Funds) • Added one Water Operator to the Utilities Department. (Utility Funds) • Added one Water Quality Specialist to the Utilities Department. (Utility Funds) • Added one Accounting Assistant to the Finance Department for Utility Billing support. (Utility Funds)
• Added one Economic Development Director to the Administration to establish a new Economic Development Department. (General Fund)
• Reclassification of one Operations Services Supervisor in the Water Section of the Utilities Department to Water Systems Superintendent. (Utility Funds) • Reclassification of one Maintenance Worker II in the Water Section of the Utilities Department to Water Operator. (Utility Funds)
• Reclassification of an Office Assistant II in the Utilities Department to a Management Assistant. (Utility Funds)
• Reclassification of two Firefighters and/or Fire Engineers to Fire Captains in the Fire Department in FY26. (General Fund)
• Reclassification of three Firefighters to Fire Engineers in the Fire Department in FY27. (General Fund)
• Reclassification of one Management Analyst in the Community Development Department to Senior Management Analyst. (General Fund)
• Staff recommend adding two Code Enforcement Officer positions to FY26 and FY27, resulting from the Council’s May 19th strategic planning session, as discussed in the Legislative Agenda and workplan discussion above.
Pending Council approval, the total number of positions will be 298 for FY26 and FY27.
The position control list resolution and the budget adoption resolution reflect the position count and the financial adjustments related to the inclusion of the code enforcement officer positions and the removal of the recreation positions.
The list does not affect part-time positions, as the part-time positions are a lump-sum appropriation for departments, and they are then granted the flexibility to fill part-time positions based on their current operational needs as they evolve throughout the fiscal years. The position control list can be subsequently amended by adopting an amending resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy for any reclassification, addition, or deletion to this list.
Boards and Commissions Budget Input and Workplans
As part of the annual budget development process, input is solicited from the City’s various boards and commissions. The boards and commissions submitted input and budget requests for the FY26 and FY27 biennial budget, and the detailed requests are included as an attachment to this report. Of the budget requests submitted, the following requested items were included in the final recommended budget for adoption. • The Open Government, Planning Commission, and Personnel Commission made specific training budget requests, which are included in the recommended budget. In addition, general training funds are also available for any other boards and commissions over the course of the next two years if they desire or otherwise express interest in attending training that aids or enhances their ability to serve in their roles.
o Training - $23,500/year
• Parks and Recreation Commission
o Pickleball Courts - $0.9 million in FY26
• Youth Commission
o OpportuniTEEN Fair - $1,150/year
o Senior/Intergenerational Dance at Senior Center - $2,075/year o Apparel/Supplies - $550/year
In addition, the boards and commissions have identified workplan items they will accomplish over the next two years. These workplans are included as an attachment to this report. Some of the workplan items are routine in nature and align with the commission’s purpose and intent, while others are specific initiatives. It is recommended that the Council review and approve the workplans.
Community Input
On May 14, 2025, City staff hosted a community meeting to present and seek community input on the recommended budget. There are no reportable requests from the community meeting.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The City Council could direct staff to include additional changes to the recommended budget before budget adoption; or
2. The City Council could decide not to adopt the recommended FY26 and FY27 operating and capital budgets. Staff does not recommend this option as it would have a detrimental impact on City functions and services. It is critical to adopt an operating budget before the commencement of the fiscal year (July 1, 2025) to ensure the continuity of City functions and services to the community.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The City Council’s adoption of the FY26 and FY27 operating and capital budgets will appropriate Citywide expenditures of $207.2 million in FY26 and $206.6 million in FY27, with funding sources of $178.6 million in FY26 and $178.8 million in FY27, and utilization of fund balance of $28.6 million in FY26, and $27.8 million in FY27.
The City Council is recommended to approve two additional financial adjustments to the budget before adoption, reflecting the two changes in the Position Control List:
• Add: Two Code Enforcement Officers - an increase of $180,000 in FY26, and $378,000 in FY27 within the General Fund (100) (not funded after FY27) • Remove: Three Recreation Positions (Recreation Coordinator, Recreation Supervisor, and Recreation Management Analyst) – a decrease of $412,683 FY26, and $434,025 in FY27 within the Recreation Fund (290) After the budget is adopted, the City Council may further amend the adopted budget from time to time as deemed necessary to accomplish the goals and priorities identified in the budget.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The City Council and staff has held various Budget Study Sessions since February 2025, with the last strategic planning sessions held on May 19, 2025. Staff also conducted an in-person community workshop on May 14, 2025. A printed copy of the Recommended Budget is also available at the City Clerk’s Office and the Gilroy Library for public access. The Public Notice for the Budget Hearing to be held on June 2, 2025, was published in the Gilroy Dispatch and the Mercury News on May 16, 2025, and May
23, 2025.
NEXT STEPS
Upon adoption of the FY26 and FY27 budgets, staff will ensure the continuity of City functions and services effective July 1, 2025. Staff will subsequently prepare and publish the final budget document for FY26 and FY27. The final budget document will also be submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) Budget Awards.

Re: Arts and Culture Budget Requests for Fiscal Year 2026 and Fiscal Year 2027 The Arts and Culture Commission (ACC) of the City of Gilroy approved a recommendation for the below budget requests for Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027.
1. For the Love of Gilroy Public Art Banner Program | $8,000 per year | Dedicated Funds The ACC is requesting to make the public art banner program, For the Love of Gilroy, an ongoing program. The ACC is requesting to use $8,000 per fiscal year of it’s Arts and Culture and Public Art Funds to sustain the program, in addition with fundraising efforts. The pilot program held in 2024 was successful, and the ACC desires to continue it, as outlined in its proposed workplan for the next two fiscal years.
2. Multicultural Community Days | $5,000 annually | General Fund The ACC would like to add this series to enhance awareness of the various cultures in the community through art, dance, and other cultural expression. This request, if approved, would create a pilot program to host two multicultural community day events per year, with estimated costs of $2,500 per event. This is intended to bring multicultural awareness and education through the arts of various cultures represented in the community, and is a new program proposed in its proposed workplan.
3. Fundraising Event Gala | Funding to be Determined
The ACC would like to assess the possibility of hosting a fundraising gala to help fund the activities above. At this time, funding amounts are not fully known. The funding would likely come from the Arts and Culture Commission Fund. The event approval would come back to Council in the future. The intent is to develop fundraising activities, consistent with the City’s Charter, to develop public art programs and projects.
The ACC would like to thank the City Council for considering these budget requests, and the support that it has provided to the ACC as it pursues fulfillment of its roles outlined in the City Charter.

CITY OF GILROY – BUDGET REQUEST FOR PICKLEBALL COURT CONSTRUCTION Project Name: Pickleball Court Construction at Las Animas Park Category: Establish a Pickleball Court in Gilroy
Project Type: New
Project Description
This project proposes the construction of dedicated pickleball courts at Las Animas Park in Gilroy, CA. The scope includes site preparation, grading, and paving to accommodate 4 courts, with amenities including court fencing, lighting, seating, and shade structures. Additionally, the project will provide necessary landscaping improvements and ADA-compliant access pathways.
Project Justification
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America, promoting physical activity, social interaction, and community engagement. Residents of Gilroy have requested dedicated pickleball courts since 2021, appearing at city council meetings, speaking with officials, and even funding temporary pickleball lines on existing tennis courts.
At the February 18, 2025, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, a significant number of residents emphasized the need for dedicated courts, citing benefits such as community building, inclusivity for all ages, and enhanced public health. Gilroy currently lacks dedicated pickleball courts, whereas neighboring cities—including Hollister, San Juan Bautista, Monterey, Pacific Grove, San Jose, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and Morgan Hill—have invested in pickleball infrastructure.
The Parks & Recreation Commission’s 2024 location analysis identified Las Animas Park as the top recommended site due to its existing electrical infrastructure, restroom facilities, and potential to enhance park safety through increased activity and lighting.
Alignment with City’s Parks & Recreation Master Plan
The Parks & Recreation System Master Plan outlines the city's commitment to enhancing recreational facilities, promoting public health, and meeting the needs of a growing and diverse population. The addition of pickleball courts aligns with key goals, including:
● Providing equitable access to recreation facilities.
● Encouraging community wellness and active lifestyles. ● Enhancing park safety through increased usage and visibility. ● Beautifying and modernizing park amenities.

Conclusion
Investing in pickleball courts is a strategic move to modernize Gilroy’s parks, meet resident demands, and promote an active and engaged community. With strong public support and alignment with city planning initiatives, this project presents a valuable addition to the city’s 5
recreational assets. Approval of this budget request will ensure Gilroy remains competitive with surrounding communities while fostering a healthier and more connected community. 6
CITY OF GILROY – BUDGET REQUEST FOR COURT RESURFACING AND
IMPROVEMENTS AT LAS ANIMAS PARK
Project Name: Court Resurfacing and Amenity Upgrades
Category: Improve Existing Park Infrastructure
Project Type: Rehabilitation
Project Description
This project seeks funding to resurface two handball courts and one basketball court at Las Animas Park. The project will include resurfacing, new court lining, the installation of two benches, and one additional light to improve usability and safety. The improvements will enhance recreational opportunities and prolong the lifespan of these well-used community assets.

● Improve player safety by addressing surface irregularities. ● Enhance accessibility and usability with new court lines and seating. ● Extend the lifespan of the courts and reduce long-term maintenance costs. ● Increase community engagement by providing high-quality recreational spaces.
This project aligns with the city's commitment to maintaining and improving its parks and recreational facilities to serve residents better.
Alignment with City’s Parks & Recreation System Master Plan This project directly supports the goals outlined in the Parks & Recreation System Master Plan, including:
● Maintaining high-quality recreational facilities.

enhance park infrastructure, encourage community activity, and provide a safe, modernized space for sports and recreation. Approval of this budget request will support Gilroy’s long-term commitment to maintaining high-quality public amenities. 9
CITY OF GILROY – BUDGET REQUEST FOR PARKS & RECREATION COMMUNITY
EVENT PARTICIPATION
Project Name: Parks & Recreation Community Event Participation Fund Category: Community Engagement & Outreach
Project Type: Operational Support
Project Description
This budget request seeks funding to enable the Parks & Recreation Commission to participate in local community events. Funds will cover event registration fees, promotional materials, branding efforts, and engagement activities that enhance community outreach. Items needed include printed materials (flyers, signs, and banners), branded giveaways, interactive games, and essential event equipment such as tables and chairs.
Project Justification
Participation in community events is crucial to increasing public awareness of Parks & Recreation initiatives, engaging residents, and fostering a stronger community connection. By maintaining a presence at city events, the commission can:
● Promote parks, programs, and recreational opportunities. ● Gather public input to shape future projects and initiatives. ● Enhance community involvement and visibility.
● Strengthen partnerships with local organizations and businesses.
Over the past years, attendance at local events has been identified as a key opportunity to improve communication with residents and better understand their recreational needs. Without dedicated funding, participation in these events is inconsistent and dependent on limited discretionary funds.
Alignment with City’s Parks & Recreation Master Plan
The Parks & Recreation System Master Plan emphasizes the importance of community engagement and public outreach as fundamental to ensuring accessible and relevant recreational services. This request aligns with key goals, including:
● Expanding community involvement in parks and recreation planning. ● Enhancing public awareness of recreational programs and park facilities. ● Promoting inclusivity and accessibility within the city's recreational offerings.

CITY OF GILROY – BUDGET REQUEST FOR PARKS MASTER PLAN (CIP 900780) Project Name: Parks Master Plan
Category: Plan for Future
Project Type: New
Project Description
This project seeks funding to develop a comprehensive Parks Master Plan for the City of Gilroy.
The plan will assess the condition of existing parks, conduct extensive public outreach to identify community needs, and recommend park improvements based on public feedback and the goals set forth in the 2040 General Plan. Additionally, the plan will identify potential funding sources for future park development and enhancements.
Project Justification
The City of Gilroy’s Parks & Recreation System Master Plan was last updated in 2004. Since then, the city has grown, community recreational needs have evolved, and park infrastructure has aged. The Parks Master Plan will serve as a crucial guide for decision-makers to:
● Identify park deficiencies and prioritize improvements. ● Enhance recreational programming and special-use facilities. ● Develop a strategic approach for park expansion and maintenance. ● Support the establishment of a Parks Impact Fee Program to provide a sustainable funding source for park improvements.
By creating an updated Parks Master Plan, the City of Gilroy will be better equipped to serve its residents with modernized and accessible parks and recreational facilities.
Alignment with City’s Parks & Recreation System Master Plan This project aligns with the city’s commitment to maintaining and enhancing public parks and recreational facilities as outlined in the Parks & Recreation System Master Plan. Specifically, it supports the following objectives:
● Providing high-quality recreational spaces for residents. ● Ensuring equitable access to park amenities.
● Strategically planning for future parkland acquisition and facility improvements.

Conclusion
Developing a new Parks Master Plan is a critical step in ensuring that Gilroy’s parks and recreational facilities remain vibrant, accessible, and aligned with the needs of the community.

Subject: Personnel Commission’s Recommended Budget and Work Plan for Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027 On March 24, 2025, the Personnel Commission recommended the below workplan for FY 26 and 27 consistent with the Personnel Commission’s scope included within the Gilroy City Chater:
Workplan Item Description
Review New and Updated Job
Descriptions
Commission to review all new and updated job descriptions within the classification plan.
Review New and Updated Salary
Rates
Commission will review recommended salary range for
new/updated classifications for proper placement on the salary schedule.
Review Recruitment and

Commission to review comprehensive update to Human
Resources Rules and Regulations and make a final
recommendation on the updates to the City Council.
In addition, as part of the Administrative Services/Human Resources Division budget development for FY 26 and 27, staff included $3,000 in training for the Personnel Commission. This is the same amount approved in 15
past years to ensure that the Commission receives regular training on discipline appeal and grievance appeal hearing procedures, classification and compensation best practices, and important HR Rules/Policy updates for public agencies. Assuming these funds remain part of the Human Resources budget, the Commission has requested that FY 26 training be on hearing procedures to ensure they are current and ready to go if needed.
Should there be a Personnel Commission appeal hearing, there are legal fees included within the normal Human Resources budget request for legal counsel for the Personnel Commission given the procedural requirements of hearings and to draft any required post-hearing documents/recommendations.
Outside of these routine funds, the Personnel Commission is not requesting anything new or special for the FY 26 or 27 budget.
Please let me know if there are any questions.

The requested budget pays for items to ensure a positive experience for both the attendees and vendors. o FY26: $1,150
